Jacob Doty reassigned to Wolves
The Chicago Wolves announced Friday that right wing Jacob Doty has been reassigned to the team from the Alaska Aces (ECHL).

Tale of the Tape: March 19
Chicago looks to rebound tonight as it hosts Texas for the first time this year. The Wolves were swept at the Cedar Park Center in January and have dropped six straight games to the Stars, four of which have come by a one-goal margin and the other pair by three goals each.
Wolves Weekly Press Notes for March 16
The Chicago Wolves are down to the stretch run with just 16 contests left following a three-game slate last week. The Wolves started strong with an overtime win over Utica on Wednesday before dropping tilts to the Comets and Rockford on Saturday and Sunday. Chicago closes out a four-game homestand Thursday against Texas before hitting the road for a two-game weekend series in Oklahoma City. The Wolves sit in the 10th spot in the Western Conference with 65 points in 60 games, above Toronto (65/61) but trailing Texas (70/60), Hamilton (69/63), and Adirondack (67/60).
Wolves' rally falls short versus Rockford
ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Chicago Wolves scored two goals in the final minute of regulation, but it was not enough to catch the Rockford IceHogs during a 4-3 loss Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 12,534 at Allstate Arena.
Tale of the Tape: March 15
The Chicago Wolves look to rebound from Saturday night's loss to Utica as they welcome the Rockford IceHogs for a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee. It is the final time this season that the Wolves host Rockford and the Illinois Lottery Cup is on the line.
Utica, Markstrom whitewash Wolves
ROSEMONT, Ill. – Goaltender Jacob Markstrom parried 27 shots to lead the Utica Comets to a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Wolves on Saturday night at Allstate Arena.
Tale of the Tape: March 14
The Chicago Wolves earned an overtime win Wednesday against the Utica Comets and will face the same team tonight to close out the season series. The Wolves are 2-0-0-0 against the Comets all-time in Rosemont and have outscored them 6-3 in those two tilts. But Chicago has not strung together more than two wins in a row at home this year, a streak currently matched thanks to wins Wednesday (UTI) and March 1 (MIL).
Wolves host Career and Networking Fair on March 19
The Chicago Wolves host their 10th Career and Networking Fair from 3:30 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, in Allstate Arena's Skyline Room.

Michael White was born in New Zealand in 1961 and came to the USA to pitch for the Saginaw Bolters in 1980. Michael was replacing a New Zealand legend in Saginaw, Mr. Kevin Herlihy. White would go one from there to participate in numerous ISC World Tournaments during the next 27 years and is certainly one of the greatest pitchers (if not the best) to ever compete in ISC competition.
The following are some of his ISC achievements during his illustrious career.
ISC All-World player, 10 times; Most Valuable Pitcher, 1987 & 2002; Perfect Games- 3; No-hit Games- 5 (plus 1 shared in 2004); Most Wins in Tournament History- 70. In addition, in 1987, 1992, 2000 and 2002, Michael White was the winning pitcher in leading four different teams to the ISC World Championship.
Not only is Michael White worthy of consideration for the ISC Hall of Fame, Michael is the only candidate in the history of softball with the credentials for consideration into four Softball Halls of Fame; ISC, ASA, ISF, NZSA.
Attached is a testimonial from another ISC Hall of Fame member, Manager, Denny Bruckert.
Yours respectfully,
Al Doran
2008 Inductee, ISC Hall of Fame
To the ISC HOF Selection Committee:
I have had the utmost privilege of managing Michael White for eight seasons during which time he was a big part of two ISC World titles and three United States National championships.
Michael is a tremendous competitor in every aspect of the game. I certainly cannot think of any other pitcher over the years that a manager would rather have pitching the final game of any ISC World title game, ASA National Championship game or ISF final than Michael White. His great ability can be measured by his ISC total victories -- tops among all time pitchers.
In 2002, when he pitched for our St. Joe team, he lead the team to the ISC World title with a record of 6-0; 44 innings pitched, allowed only two runs; none in the playoffs with a 0.32 ERA. This was possibility the best pitching ever witnessed in the long, great history of the ISC, walking away with the top pitcher award.
I also had the great privilege of having both Michael White and Darren Zack together in winning the 2000 ISC World title. I have never witnessed the professionalism of two great pitchers on how they respected and cheered for each other. It certainly was a huge boost for that title.
In closing, I know Michael White made me a much better field manager during my earlier years with him teaching me better communication skills with the players.
To the Hall of Fame Committee -- there is no one more deserving than Michael White. In my mind, he would be at the top of that list of members.

Had the best meal I've had in a while here. Great food, strong and tasty margaritas. Thumbs up all around.

Great choice of mex food. Strongly recommended
Posted by kelly on 08/04/2012
First visit- English, hope in 7 years time when we return that Mexico Radio is still open as i loved the whole experience especially the yummy potent margaritas and I have to say the best meal i had in my 5 days stay!
Posted by Gudbilkiboli on 11/29/2011
We went there for a group dinner. The squash and bean soup was a delight. perfectly presented, outstanding mix of sweetness and spice! We loved that! But from there on, the experience was average. The margaritas are pretty good, but nothing unique that stands out from other comparable Mexican places. The entrees (a cheesy chicken gook for me), was passable. The burritos that some on the table ordered were gooey, but a little too much. The service was fine, but again, average. A few times, we really had to flag down our server and ask for regular things like water etc.. The one issue we had was that the place is noisy. it was SO noisy, that our group of about 8 had to break into factions of 4 pairs each just so that we could talk. No one could hear anyone. And to have anyone hear you, you had to scream as though you were in a club or whisper into your friend's ear. Overall, fun for a good drink and the soup! But probably avoid if you want to hang out with a large group that you want to chat with.

I had an awesome experience at Mexican Radio! Our server was super nice and attentive, and the food was delicious! The menu is overwhelmingly large at first, but the waitress suggested the Cajun Burrito (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and it was excellent! I had some friends visiting from out of town and it was a great spot to bring them. Lively, fun, friendly staff, yummy food and strong drinks. Yes, please!
Posted by El Conquistador on 06/16/2011
On the way here we read countless reviews of how bland the food was, how long it took, and how poorly the staff waited on tables. The food was delicious, timely, and far from bland. Forget the other reviews saying the service in nonexistent and the food is blah. Must try if you love Mexican
Posted by Anonymous on 06/05/2011
Flautas, tacos suave, magaritas, chips w/ salsa...incredible! Favorite Mexican place by far!

Day on the water costly for woman
A day on the water turned unexpectedly expensive for a Berkeley County woman when she returned home to find more than $10,000 worth of items stolen.
The woman told Berkeley County Sheriffs deputies that she left her Westbrooke Road home before noon Aug. 17 to go boating. When she returned home at 9 p.m., she discovered an unlocked rear door and found she was missing jewelry, two large-screen TVs, a computer and several other electronics, clothing and a rifle.
She told deputies that the total value of her missing belongings was nearly $10,400. A silver earring the woman said wasnt hers and a small amount of blood on a bed sheet were taken as evidence. BSCO is still investigating the incident.
Pizza delivery man robbed
A pizza delivery man was robbed Aug. 15 on College Park Road, according to the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office.
The man told deputies he was at a stop sign at the intersection of Edgebrook Drive and College Park just after 9 p.m. when a black male wearing a black hoodie, black pants and white tennis shoes approached his driver side window.
The driver said the suspect showed him a handgun and told him to give him all of his money. The driver handed the suspect a black money bag with approximately $38, and the suspect left on foot in the direction of the Quick Mart on College Park Road.
No arrests have been made, and BCSO continues to investigate the incident.
Shipping container full of tires missing
A 40-foot shipping container is missing from a Clements Ferry Road container yard, according to a Berkeley County Sheriffs report.
A manager at the yard called deputies just before midnight Aug. 14 to report a Maersk container with a shipment of Yokohama tires valued at $100,000 was not in its designated location.
The caller said he checked security camera video and found that a truck leased by his company removed the container. When the driver of that truck was contacted, he said the truck was in a repair shop in Fayetteville, N.C., at the time of the incident. He added that he had brokered the truck to another man.
BCSOs investigation is ongoing.

has evolved into a sport that offers one challenge after another. Cheerleaders
must have sport specific strength and strength in motion. Without the necessary
strength, injuries and accidents can occur. So, with an increase in strength
typically comes a decrease of injury during routines, games, and competition.
In the Wall Sit the athlete's legs are becoming
stronger in the sit (static) position because they are holding the sit for an
extended period of time. Cheerleaders must also become stronger during movement.
Strength in motion for the legs is as important as static strength. In the Wall
Sit the athlete moves from the stand to the sit one time and holds the low
position. In the Squat exercise the athlete must repeat the sit and stand (leg
push) motion several times. They will become stronger with the leg push motion
rather than the static position. It is a different strength and therefore a
different training approach must be added to the training. For many sports the
athlete must be strong in the leg push motion, rather than the static position,
but cheerleaders must be strong in the static positions and in motion to
successfully and safely perform pyramids, jumps, and tumbling.
Since cheerleaders often use more than one muscle
group at a time it may be best to include combination exercises. The following
exercises will help the cheerleader gain strength in her upper body as well as
her lower body.

Simon Gutierrez Will Be Inducted During April 9thCeremony.
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) March 17, 2014
The ElliptiGO Project, a group of elite athletes focused on using innovative training tools and techniques to improve performance, today announced that Simon Gutierrez will be inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame on April 9, 2014. One of the first athletes to join the Project in 2012, Gutierrez has had an exceptional mountain running career that includes winning the Mount Washington Road Race and the Pikes Peak Ascent three times each. He has been the Masters Mountain Running World Champion three times and a member of the USA World Mountain Running Championship team a remarkable seven times.
Gutierrezs inspiring career was nearly cut short in 2010 when he suffered complications from a common knee surgery. In the months that followed, he almost lost his leg and was told he would never run again. After subsequent rehabilitative work, Simon improved the health of his leg up to the point where he could exercise again. Thats when I started using the elliptical machine because it allowed me to perform weight-bearing activity without any impact on my knee, said Gutierrez. Six weeks later I learned about the ElliptiGO and went for a ride. I couldnt believe it I could push myself but had no pain at all. It was a truly magical moment because I felt like I was running, something I never imagined Id do again.
Gutierrez continued to cross-train heavily on the ElliptiGO, defying the odds and making a triumphant return to racing in 2011. That year, even though he hadnt been able to train at his usual running intensities or volume for nearly two years, Gutierrez surprised himself and his supporters by besting his 2009 Pikes Peak Ascent time by more than three minutes. He has continued to defy the odds, not only with his return to running, but by outperforming elite competitors nearly half his age.
Were thrilled that the Colorado Running Hall of Fame is officially recognizing Simon and his numerous achievements, stated Bryan Pate, Co-Founder of ElliptiGO. To win the Pikes Peak Ascent or Mt. Washington once could be the pinnacle of someones career and hes done it three times each. Hes truly had a remarkable career and he continues to impress us every time he races. Were proud to be a part of his story and look forward to helping him get to more starting lines healthy and ready to race.
The Colorado Running Hall of Fame recognizes Coloradans for their remarkable achievement and influence on the sport of distance running. The 8th annual induction ceremony and reception will be held on Wednesday, April 9th at the Denver Athletic Club with Olympic running legend Frank Shorter, an inductee in the inaugural 2007 class, as the keynote speaker.
The ElliptiGO Project is currently recruiting elite athletes with ambitious goals who are interested in exploring innovative new ways of getting faster and staying healthy. For more information about The Project, visit the website at http://www.theelliptigoproject.com.
About The ElliptiGO Project
The ElliptiGO Project exists to make runners faster through innovation. It is currently growing membership, adding new innovative running tools, and affiliating with other organizations that share the same goal of improving athletes performance through innovation. The Project tests new training techniques through competition, both on the track and on the road, and reports its findings with candor. http://www.theelliptigoproject.com

Good to know boss man. Another highlight of the show was the return of NXT alumni Michael McGillicutty and Alex Riley, who have both improved since I've last seen them. If their match and last week's bout between Slater and Gabriel are any indication, NXT alumni coming back each week can only help the show by varying the show's wrestler base and giving us new matchups. William Regal's return to commentary was also a breath of fresh air and one of his better performances behind the desk so far. Regal did everything I praise him for; he was entertaining with his little character quirks and his fascinating Maxine fact, he put over the talent with his verbal praise, and he even called some moves!Overall tonight's episode was entertaining, which helped to make up for the fact that it was pretty much a one-match show. Nothing besides the McGillicutty/Riley opener was given the time to develop into anything great, though each match worked for what they were. Maxine vs Kaitlyn was short but never dragged. Baretta did his part to make his match exciting. Bateman and Young hustled to get some action out of a short main event. I'd say that thanks to some comedy this week's NXT held steady and earned another firstname.lastname@example.com

New Fact Sheet: Hunger in the African-American Community
Nadine Blackwell of Philadelphia tells her story in the 2014 Hunger Report, Ending Hunger in America. (Joseph Molieri/Bread for the World)
"Dr. [Martin Luther] King gave his life fighting for economic opportunity—a fight that is still important today, as too many African-Americans continue to suffer from hunger and poverty. Ending hunger in America is possible, but in order to effectively address this issue we must honor Dr. King's legacy by achieving economic opportunity and equality."
—Bishop Don DiXon Williams, associate for African American Church Relations at Bread for the World, in a press release today.
Bread for the World has released a new fact sheet, Hunger by the Numbers in the African-American Community: Employment, Wages, and Fairness, in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s work on issues of economic equality. Dr. King was assassinated 46 years ago today.
The fact sheet looks at hunger in the aftermath of the Great Recession, noting that food insecurity has disproportionately increased among African-Americans, as compared to other groups, due to higher unemployment rates and other injustices. Among the findings:
- The unemployment rate for the African-American community is 12 percent, higher than the national average of 6.7 percent, and higher than any other major group.
In 2012, 5.4 percent of African-American workers earned below the minimum wage, while 13.3 percent earned below the median wage, compared to 4 and 8.7 percent of white workers, respectively.
Only 2 percent of African-American women work in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM) industries, while white women make up 24 percent of the STEM workforce.
"The anniversary of Dr. King's death reminds us that we still have a long way to go in ensuring freedom from hunger and poverty for African-Americans," said Bishop Williams.
Bread for the World proposes a four-pronged approach to ending hunger in America; it is outlined in the 2014 Hunger Report.

Christmas Tree Advent Calendar
- Product Review (submitted on October 3, 2013):
- Countdown to Christmas! I just love the advent calendars- especially this festive tree. Each day up to Christmas enjoy opening on of the number doors. This has become a family tradition, each year we hide one letter instead each compartment. By Christmas Eve, we unscramble the letters to discover the present we will open on Christmas Eve. Lots of fun and a wonderful tradition to start! :)

I'm falling back into that well-worn furrow: work-homework-work. Moving through the city without energy or engagement. So, it's been a hard week and there's always a certain momentum to these ways, one that I struggle with. But I hope to reset myself this weekend, wander away from the familiar routes and just be in the world more.
Tonight after work I'm going to buy myself a big bunch of flowers (I thought I had peony fatigue from Instagram, but then I swooned over these). And hopefully the rain will hold off long enough for a nice long stroll on Saturday morning (if I could wear Stephanie's imaginary outfit, I'd be a happy duck).
I'm between books right now and that's probably hurting me too... I literally bookend most days with an hour or more of reading. When I don't have that time, when there isn't a cast of characters or ideas seizing my attention, I feel rudderless and even a little lonely in my world.
What are you up to this weekend? Hope it's a lovely one!

I absolutely agree with your sentence: "When I don't have that time, when there isn't a cast of characters or ideas seizing my attention, I feel rudderless and even a little lonely in my world." Breakfast with a (good) book is a must, as is a nice bedtime reading.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Elena - have a lovely weekend!Delete
I love the light in this image. So soft and delicate, just like the flowers themselves.ReplyDelete
PS: I'm starting The Sense of an Ending this weekend. I had bookmarked (pun intended) your review and then another friend just recommended it so I had no choice...!Replies
Fun! I got a comment from one of your readers (or friends?) this week saying they had read it based on your recommendation from my review.Delete
I really hope you like it... it goes by very quickly and you almost don't realize how deeply you're feeling it, or at least that was the case for me.
I sent him your review and he agreed with it wholeheartedly! After that, I just had to get the book for myself! I finished First Love and Other Sorrows last weekend (I've been slow lately!) and really enjoyed it, even though it gave me heartache at times.Delete
Nice - thank you!Delete
If I could read books like First Love all the time I would be a happy duck. Definitely one of the best books I've read in years. I guess I like heartache (it's true)
Sometimes a little heartache from fiction helps me cry out my real heartache. Does that make sense?ReplyDelete
I love this too. I've been meaning to go to the library, but I've been too tired or busy. Maybe today/tonight.ReplyDelete
I hope that next week will be better for you... Flowers will help ;)ReplyDelete
By the way, do you by any chance know more 'floral' blogs?
Have a lovely weekend, Jane!Replies
Yes! I love An Apple A Day http://emersonmerrick.blogspot.ca/ the Saipua blog http://saipua.blogspot.ca/ and Little Flower School (also check out Nicolette Owen's Flickr) http://little-flower-school.blogspot.ca/ :)Delete
Thank you! I will take a look at the last one as I'm already following (and loving) the first two...Delete
Thanks again x
You're welcome!Delete
Those very peonies are blooming in my yard- I'm waging an internal battle over whether I should cut them for a bouquet, or just brave the rain to enjoy them growing outside!ReplyDeleteReplies
I photographed these in somebody's garden. I was sure glad they'd left them there!Delete
I'm not sure I could ever reach peony fatigue, but I love the way you put this "when there isn't a cast of characters or ideas seizing my attention, I feel rudderless and even a little lonely in my world." Oh, I concur. Am resonating!ReplyDelete
I know the feeling! I hate finishing a book I enjoy with characters I invest in, because of that disoriented feeling afterwards.ReplyDelete
p.s. your flower arrangement on Instagram is beyond words - totally swoon-worthy!Replies
Thanks Hila!Delete
Yes, it takes me a long time to recover from a really good book and it's always hard to know what to reach for afterwards.
my work routine is cramping my style too at the moment, totally know that feeling. hope the fires ignite again soon xReplyDeleteReplies
you too, Jules! xxDelete
I feel the same about finishing a book. I always have a hard time starting a new one, though, because I'm still caught up in whatever I've just finished. It takes a few chapters to get back my sense direction.ReplyDeleteReplies
for sure... always hard to start something new.Delete

Editorial: Traffic moving smoothy so far at new school on Highway 66
Initially even the possibility of a new high school opening on Highway 66 in Kodak was horrifying for commuters that frequent the drive between Interstate 40 and Sevierville.
Whether it was concern for the safety of students, the potential for the danger of young drivers on a busy highway or just the thought of the gridlock at the school during tourist season, the worst was expected.
But so far, things have gone swimmingly.
Aside from a few first-day hiccups related to parents picking up students and maneuvering through the parking lot on Friday, Northview Academy hasn't had any real problems in dealing with the traffic flow coming off of, or onto, Highway 66.
"It was much better Monday," the school's principal, Greg Clark, said. "It worked about as good as it can work. It's getting better, everybody's being patient and doing the best that they can."
Of course, the school is getting a lot of quality help from the Sevierville Police Department, which is directing traffic in the area before and after school to help keep things progressing in an orderly fashion.
"It takes a while to load (the students) out, but the traffic is gone enough that the buses haven't had trouble getting in," Clark said.
All in all, it's been a nice cooperative effort between the city and school staff to ensure things go smoothly.
Whether or not things remain that way when three more grades are added, as well as 16-year-old drivers, is anybody's guess.
At least for now the worst fears of a traffic nightmare on Highway 66 at the Academy appear to have been premature.

Nashville's Top 4 Music Moments From Season 1, Episode 10: "I'm Sorry for You, My Friend"
Nashville packs so many amazing song performances into each episode that it's hard to keep track of them all. And while we love each and every one, life is all about choices, so here are our top 5 music moments from Season 1, Episode 10: "I'm Sorry for You, My Friend." (Psst! You can buy them all here!)
4. Juliette rehearses "Boys and Buses"
We've heard the song a bunch of times throughout the season by now, and we love this upbeat empowerment anthem every time we hear it. Still, something about this performance didn't quite wow us, as Juliette's (Hayden Panettiere) heart didn't seem to be in it. Then again, we suppose that having to admit to fraud in order to grant your ex-husband an annulment would be a distraction for anyone.
3. Juliette rehearses "Telescope" — until Liam has other plans
This rehearsal scene had us in stitches, with Liam finding a creative way to put an end to Juliette's "Telescope" — by, uh, taking a nap in the middle of the stage. We love Liam for moments like this, although we can't help but worry he may cause trouble down the road. And does anyone else think Juliette and Liam might actually be kinda cute together? Team Juliam for the win!
2. Rayna performs "Buried Under" with Liam
Rayna (Connie Britton) is such a natural in front of a crowd, as she proves for her San Diego fans here. And it was great seeing her onstage chemistry with Liam, including that adorable wink that Liam gives her. Sure, we still want Deacon (Charles Esten) to be performing on guitar with her, but since you can't always get what you want, we'll admit that Liam is a more-than-adequate consolation prize.
1. Juliette finally agrees to perform "Love Like Mine" — as Rayna watches
In a Nashville first, a Juliette performance has topped this list! We suppose that's what happens when there's no Gunnar (Sam Palladio)-Scarlett (Clare Bowen) duet — but we digress! This rendition of "Love Like Mine" was especially meaningful, as Juliette acknowledges Sean during the introduction. We also liked that Rayna was watching Juliette's performance and even appeared to be — gasp! — enjoying herself. First time for everything.

This Week… starting April 26, 2010
Municipal Fiestas This Week
Events in the following municipalities this week are related to honoring their patron saints. Look for religious processions and church services, along with good food and cultural events, rather than a "county fair" atmosphere. If you are a visitor or potential new resident, these are the events you want to attend in order to answer the ever-present question "Yes – but what is life really like in most of the State of Yucatan?" We think you will be as surprised as we were!
Teabo Fiesta – 6 Day Event: April 28 through May 3
This fiesta is in honor of Santa Cruz. The artisans here make typical clothing for both men and women. They also do embroidery by both hand and machine. If you are looking for a cotton hammock, you'll find it in Teabo, along with excellent leatherwork. Teabo is located just north of Tekax and to the east of Mani and Akil.
Conkal Fiesta 9 Day Event – May 1 to May 8
This fiesta is in honor of Santa Cruz. Conkal is a wonderful municipality with many talented artisans. Look here for machine embroidery, cotton hammocks, and carved wood boxes. Conkal is located on Merida's northeastern border and is in what might easily be termed "the greater Merida metropolitan area.
Baca Fiesta 3 Day Event – May 1 to May 3
This fiesta is in honor of Santa Cruz. Baca is just south and west of Motul and is home to two of the churches that have been restored as part of the state-wide restoration process. Don't miss seeing either of them!

Krewe of Endymion
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2009)
The Krewe of Endymion is one of only three Super Krewes, defined by spectacular floats and celebrity Grand Marshals, and is the largest of the 80 or so parades participating in New Orleans Mardi Gras. Many people begin saving their viewing spots for this parade several days before the parade actually rolls. It was founded in 1966 and named after Endymion {en-dim'-ee-uhn}, from Greek mythology.
Its motto, "Throw Until it Hurts", defines a tradition of being extremely generous with its throws, tossing millions of beads, cups, doubloons and trinkets during its annual parade, held the Saturday before Mardi Gras. The parade is immediately followed with a spectacular party called the 'Endymion Extravaganza', which rivals anything that Las Vegas offers. It was held from 1974 to 1980 at the now demolished Rivergate Convention Center. Since 1981, it has been held in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome except in 2006 when it was held at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center due to repairs to the Superdome after being damaged from Hurricane Katrina and also in 2011 due to the final Phase 3 renovations to the Superdome. The Krewe returned to the Superdome in 2012. In recent years, the krewe has had over 2500 members and over 20,000 guests at its Extravaganza. They are three of the famous krewes.

Dedicated to Maine Athletes…Past, Present & Future
Help the M Club Reach Its Goal
Your M Club's campaign to sign up more than 500 dues-paying members for the 2014-15 academic year is closing in on the magic number.
As of Jan. 14, we had reached 457, just 43 short of 500 letter winners and honorary M's who have sent in their yearly $35 dues. We are a totally dues driven organization and the proceeds from the annual membership fees are used entirely toward supporting UMaine athletic teams, their student athletes and coaches.
The M Club is 82 years old this year and over that time has likely contributed upwards of $1,000,000 in support of the university's athletic programs. Due to budget cuts over the years, awards to our undergraduate "M" winners have virtually disappeared to the point that they now get only a certificate. The M Club has always prided itself in the ability to "give back" and help enhance the athletic experience of the undergraduate athletes who represent our university in such an exemplary way. We have initiated a program to give every graduating senior the beautiful M plaques that we also make available to former letter winners.
If you have not yet paid this year's dues, and would like to help us achieve the 500 mark, your check for $35 (if you can spare more it will go toward the M Club's project fund) should be made out to the UMAA (NOT the M Club, but indicating on the "for" line that it is for M Club dues) and mailed to:
General Alumni Association
University of Maine
M Club
P.O. Box 550
Orono, ME 04473-0550
Another option is to pay by credit card on the UMAA's website (www.umainealumni.com) by clicking on The ALUMNI FUND "Donate Online" logo and scrolling down to M Club Dues.
Thanks in advance for your support and know that your contribution will be 100 percent used to support the young men and women who so capably represent themselves, our University and your legacy as a UMaine athlete.
Order your own "M" plaque
Beginning with the Class of 2013, the M Club initiated a program to award wall plaques with a chenille "M" under a plexiglas shield to all graduating University of Maine varsity letter winners.
The M Club is proud to have begun this program. The athletic department now awards certificates, but not actual letters, M sweaters or M jackets.
Former Black Bears can order the same plaque with a plate engraved with their name, sport and year of their first varsity letter. By doing so, alumni letter winners can not only obtain this handsome keepsake for their office or den, but will also be helping to finance the program for upcoming letter winners.
To do so, print out and fill out the order form, enclose your check to the University of Maine Alumni Association and mail as directed (ignore the directions for a red envelope). The plaque will be mailed directly to you.
Haskell strikes again
Former University of Maine athletic director Stu Haskell has done it again. Building on his epic effort, "The Maine Book: University of Maine Athletics 1881-2007," Haskell has compiled comprehensive all-in-one lists of both men and women's "M" winners over the years, and centuries, 19th into the 21st.
It totals up to approximately 13,000 names, according to Haskell, although he did not count them line for line. Nevertheless, when added to all the information in "The Maine Book," these new lists, A to Z, combining all sports, Black Bear enthusiasts now have as complete a history of UMaine sports as is possible.
The M Club appreciates Stu's efforts, and his allowing us to bring this priceless information to you.
The Maine Book on-line
"The Maine Book: University of Maine Athletics 1881-2007," a massive undertaking and labor of love for former UMaine athletic director Stu Haskell '56, is posted on-line on the M Club website.
Every team, every athlete, everyone who ever performed for the Black Bears through 2007 is here. The records, the statistics, team photos. If it's not in the book, it didn't happen.
The M Club owes Stu many thanks for making the complete record book, almost 800 pages, available to everyone.
Links to former Black Bears
If you know of any newspaper or magazine stories about former Maine athletes in their current lives, be it business, family or still in sports, let M Club board member Bob Kelleter know and we'll link it up below for all to see. E-mail him at email@example.com with the URL. Thank you!
(The M Club board meets every third Wednesday, September through May.)

MARYVALE, AZ — The guys most responsible for the Brewers' fortunes this season have names like "Braun," "Weeks," "Greinke" and "Axford." But sometimes, it's the lesser-known players who play pretty big roles.
Being in camp with a division champion team like the Brewers is a blessing and a curse for fringe roster guys. It's exciting to be a part of high expectations, but there aren't many jobs to be claimed.
For instance, Taylor Green, Brooks Conrad, and Zelous Wheeler are vying for a reserve infield spot or two. Green showed he could swing the bat in limited time with Milwaukee last season. "It's more reinforcement than anything, that you can do it and you're on the right track, and I'm just looking to try to make the club," Green said.
Conrad had his share of success as a backup for the Braves the last couple years. "It's no different than I've done in every Spring Training, even with Atlanta. I was trying to win a job every year, so it's something I've been used to and had to do every year of my career, so I'm excited for the opportunity," Conrad said.
Wheeler is knocking on the door after playing at AA and AAA last year. He's a versatile prospect. "All around – I play multiple positions. I just come out here and have fun. If I don't get the job done one day, I will get it done the next day. If I don't get it done at the plate, I'll try to get it done in the field. Some way to help my team win the game," Wheeler said.
Zelous Wheeler's brother's name is Brian. How can you have a Zelous and a Brian? Brian's name would probably be pronounced correctly at a Minor League ballpark. Zelous? Not always the case! "Zeolis – one person called me Zeolis, Zealis, or something like that. Everybody spells it with an 'a' but it's Zelous. Everybody asks me about it. I asked my mom and she said she just came up with it, and she doesn't know how. No history of it, but it's gone a long way," Wheeler said.
Any one of these guys would simply like to be called a Major Leaguer when Spring Training ends.
Whoever makes the Opening Day roster will be with the team at Miller Park for the first game of the year, April 6th against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Ohio State Moves Up to No. 14 in Latest AP Poll
...and how Wisconsin is ahead of us, I know they started higher --- but, child please!
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
my top 5 would be:
2.) Alabama
4.) West Virginia
5.) Florida State
Oregon gave up 34 points at home to a Sun Belt team. I know it was a good Sun Belt team & it was against a lot of back-ups, but still...it's a Sun Belt team. If you give up 34 at home to a Sun Belt -- you're not a top 5 team & your Defense will let you down again at some point during the season.
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
Totally agree. This is supposed to be Oregon's "deepest" defense ever...whatever that means.
The South will NOT rise again!
Oregon was up 50 - 0 with over 7:30 left in the 2ndQ. They pulled the starters out before halftime.
"Do not pray for an easy life. Rather, pray for the the strength to endure a difficult one" - Bruce Lee
true - I watched most of the game...and that Oregon Offense is machine-like. But, still -- 34 at home, to a Sun Belt team....even the back-ups should not let that happen.
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
maybe not, but when will the second team play. Never, unless the game is in doubt. Now if they start getting injured then maybe you adjust them. But I don't think the final score was all that indicative of the kind of team that Oregon is. Will they win the national championship, probably not, but they looked very good. And I certainly wouldn't dock a team because of their second team (otherwise USC would have to drop off the rankings because they don't even have a second team).
South Carolina is not the 9th best team in the country. Take away Lattimore and you have a passing attack on par with Michigan.
I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face
yes, Nappy --- wondering if they weren't an SEC team --- if they'd be ranked anywhere near that high
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
Couldn't agree more. Vandy had their number until Connor Shaw came back in and just about killed himself to get the win. Not impressive at all.
Someone explain to me why we are even ranked? What's the purpose of ranking a team with a post season ban?
-The Aristocrats!
there is a chance of the AP Champion title, right?
I know it may be a long-shot & we'd have to pretty much dominate every team & have some other non-B1G teams slip up along the way...but there's a chance
"You win with people." - Woody Hayes
Alabama, USC, LSU and Oregon would all have to slip up in order for that to happen. It's possible, but no likely.
Is that like the #shocktheworld campaign from last year? Not many with the AP is going to vote tOSU #1 no matter how bad we beat everyone, unless everyone else in the country has 2 losses.
-The Aristocrats!
That #shocktheworld crap was so stupid. All teams in front of us would need at least one loss, and we'd of course have to be undefeated and have absolutely destroyed our opposition. I think after the UCF game we'll have a better idea of what this team's capabilities are for this season, and can then better project how this season will play out.
My Top 5:
2) Alabama
3) Oregon
5) West Virginia
Folks it was pretty much Oregon's 3rd string defense and walk-ons playing when Arkansas State started scoring. It was a 10-2 team's starters going up against 3rd stringers and walk-ons. Plus Gus "Bubbles" Malzahn is an offensive wizard. If Oregon keeps their starters in, considering they pulled them midway through the second quarter, that game could've been 100-10.
The rankings are usually a joke. I still get mad thinking about the #1 OSU versus #2 Michigan game a few years ago and how everyone cried about how there couldn't be a rematch because they just played, Mich had their chance, they couldn't win their conference...blah, blah, blah. And then this past year it's suddenly ok to rematch two teams from the same conference when one already beat the other and one didn't win their conference...blah, blah, blah. I know - SEC bias, but whatever. With that said at least the rankings give us all something to talk about - or complain about in most cases!!!
I won't complain about #14 and being ranked above TSUN. I'd put us over South Carolina and Wisconsin after their thoroughly underwhelming season openers. Especially Wiscy...5 points over Northern Iowa? Really?
Class of 2010.
My top 5:
2.) Bama
3.) Oregon
YUUUP. MARK IT DOWN BOYS. Other than ^those 4 teams, I saw no teams this weekend that I would worry about us beating. NONE. We're going to cut through the B1G like Sherman marching to the sea. UCF? PLEASE. Isn't that a Big LEast team?
I like the boldness. I do. And I kinda agree as far as your opinion of other teams. But I do not know enough about the Buckeyes yet to personally join in on the boldness. And I still kinda think it's a little early to bring in the final verdict on some of the other BIG teams. But I like your thinking.

Blue-green algae
Photo: Photo courtesy of the MPCA.
Minnesota's recent sunshine and hot weather is making for perfect algal bloom conditions.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is reminding people that some algae can be harmful for pets, livestock - and even humans, the group reported Monday, July 15.
Algae, which is microscopic aquatic plants, are a natural part of the aquatic ecosystem. Most algae is harmless, but certain types can pose health risks.
People and animals might become sick if they touch or ingest affected algae water, the agency stated. In extreme cases, dogs and other animals have died from exposure to toxic blue-green algae.
"High rainfall, which has been common throughout much of Minnesota this spring, results in nutrient-rich runoff entering our lakes, fueling algae growth," said Steve Heiskary, MPCA lakes expert, in the statement. "While spring and early summer temperatures were cooler than normal, lake temperatures have warmed rapidly. Given these conditions, we are likely to see blue-green algae blooms on many of our lakes."
There are many types of blue-green algae. The algae is found throughout Minnesota, but thrive particularly in warm, shallow, nutrient-rich lakes. The algae is often blown toward downwind shorelines, making for perfect conditions for humans and animals to contact it.
Animals that come into contact can show a variety of symptoms, ranging from skin irritation, vomiting, severe disorders like circulatory, nervous and digestive systems and severe skin lesions. In the worst case scenario, animals can suffer convulsions and die.
Humans are rarely affected by toxic algae because algal blooms smell and appear blue-green. Human health effects can include irritation of skin, eyes and nasal passages, as well as nausea and vomiting. Extreme cases can cause paralysis and respiratory failure.
There are no short-term solutions to correct blue-green algal bloom, the agency reported. Once bloom occurs, the only option is to wait for weather changes, such as significant rainfall, wind shifts and cooler temperatures to stop the algae's growth.
Click here for more information about algae and harmful algal blooms.
What is it?
Harmful algal blooms (HAB) are blue-green (cyanobacterial) algal blooms containing toxins or other noxious chemicals, which can pose harmful health risks.
Why is this a concern?
People or animals might develop skin irritation or upper respiratory problems from exposure to HAB, and in extreme cases, dogs and other animals have even died after drinking lake water containing these toxins.
Where is it?
Severe blue-green algal blooms typically occur on lakes with poor water quality (high in nutrients), and look like green paint, pea soup, or a thick green cake (see photo gallery below for examples). HAB often result in extremely low water clarity (less than 1 foot). There is no visual way to predict the toxicity of an algal bloom
What should I do if I find it?
When these conditions are present, people should avoid contact with the water and they should prevent animals from swimming in or drinking the water. Scientists do not yet know what causes some blooms to produce toxins while others do not, so the safest course of action is to avoid contact with all blue-green blooms.
What does it look like?
Blue-green algae can be hard to distinguish from other types of algae. While it's often described as looking like pea soup or spilled green paint, it can take other forms as well. The photos below show some of the diversity of blue-green's appearances and also provides some examples of other types of algae or plants that may be mistaken for blue-green algae.

An article I first wrote about a year ago about the new wave of films shot and set in Brooklyn finally hit stands yesterday in the New York Press. I'm reasonably satisfied with the outcome, which identifies the various tendencies of this makeshift genre and how they seem to emerge from the paradoxical nature of the borough's gentrified counterculture. But, man, I really dig the cover illustration (posted above) by Cecilia Granata.
One little tidbit I managed to pick up when updating the article for its current form didn't wind up in the final version, so I wanted to share it here. I contacted Thom Woodley, co-creator of The 'Burg, about the show's recent episode -- a step-up in terms of production quality thanks to guidance from Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist director Peter Sollett.
According to Woodley, The 'Burg team heard that Sollett was a fan of the web series through the pipeline, and then found out that he was shooting the pilot for a show about hipsters living together (a la The 'Burg) in Chicago. Woodley was a little miffed about this, since he and his colleagues had pitched their own show to networks and repeatedly heard the same excuse: That hipster comedy was too niche. To make matters more annoying, two 'Burg actors auditioned for Sollett's show and one of them actually landed a role in it. However, the pilot gained zero traction with the network, and Sollett reached out to Woodley within a day about directing a new episode of The 'Burg. It's worth a watch.
Woodley's Dinosaur Diorama production company is currently working on a new comedy web series, All's Faire, but he told me they would like to do more 'Burg stuff if time allows for it. The biggest obstacle? Most of the cast lives in California now.

Back in January 2009, at the dawn of the Age of Obama, I made four predictions, the first of which was this
while Obama is riding high, race relations will be excellent. But once Obama goes down in the polls and he does things that elicit criticism, be prepared for the "race card" to be played. If it is, then race relations could be set back, because the charges will be so transparently false. If race was used by Obamacons against Bill Clinton, it will certainly be used against Republicans.
And so it has. Consider just the past few weeks. Representative Steve Israel, the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, was asked by CNN's Candy Crowley, "Do you think your Republican colleagues are racists?" To which Israel replied, "Not all of them, no. Of course not. But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism."
When Representative Paul Ryan made the perfectly obvious observation that there's a real culture problem plaguing America's inner cities, Representative Barbara Lee issued a statement saying, "My colleague, Congressman Ryan's comments about inner city poverty are thinly-veiled racial attack and cannot be tolerated."
Last week House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blamed race issues for the GOP's failure to act on comprehensive immigration legislation. "I think race has something to do with the fact that they're not bringing up an immigration bill," she told reporters at her regular weekly press conference.
On and on it goes, to the point that the charge has been used so promiscuously and indiscriminately used that it is virtually meaningless. It tells you something about the modern left's desperation that they invoke the racism charge so recklessly. It also provides us with a glimpse into the deep intellectual and moral corruption that has occurred. Many progressives seem to thrive on ad hominem attacks; it is the first response they reach for.
We saw it with the forced resignation of former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich because a half-dozen years ago he supported an effort by California citizens to prevent the redefinition of traditional marriage, thereby making him (in the eyes of some on the left) a bigot. We've seen it as well with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid repeatedly attacking the Koch brothers for being "un-American" and accusing Mitt Romney of not paying income taxes; with allies of President Obama accusing Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential campaign of being responsible for the cancer-related death of a steel worker's wife; with Vice President Biden saying Republicans want to put African-Americans "back in chains;" and with Mr. Obama accusing Republicans of being "social Darwinists," of putting their party ahead of their country, of wanting dirty air and dirty water, and of wanting autistic and Down syndrome children to "fend for themselves."
I have no idea whether those making these charges are being incredibly cynical or whether they've actually convinced themselves that those with whom they disagree, simply because they disagree, must be malignant. Whatever the explanation, the eagerness for any political movement, whatever its philosophy, to demonize rather than engage in an honest debate has an acidic effect on our civic and political culture. To be sure, no political party, and neither the left nor the right, have a monopoly on virtue. (It would help if more people were willing to call out those on their own side when lines of decency and propriety have been crossed.) In addition, politics has been a contact sport since our founding. (For more, see the brutal election of 1800 between Jefferson and Adams.) Still, we can do better, much better than we are; and for the sake of our country, we really should.

Hillary Clinton to 'The Daily Show'
Hillary Clinton will appear on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" this Tuesday to discuss her new book and, inevitably, the 2016 presidential race.
The appearance is a late addition to last month's "Hard Choices" media juggernaut, which saw Clinton doing sitdown interviews with ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR and Fox News, as well as a town hall event hosted by CNN.
