Another huge road win for Greely boys' soccer
FALMOUTH—After losing in its home finale to Cape Elizabeth Oct. 2, the Greely boys' soccer team had dropped two of three games, had a record of 7-4 and was searching for its identity. With a trio of road tests looming to finish the year, the Rangers were staring at a .500 record and a low playoff seed.
Then, the Rangers stared back and produced arguably the greatest four-day stretch in program history.
After handling defending Class C state champion Waynflete, 4-1, Wednesday, Greely shrugged off a nine-game, five-year losing streak to powerhouse Yarmouth 2-0, Thursday night. Saturday evening, the Rangers came to defending Class B state champion Falmouth with a chance to avenge their most agonizing loss of the 2012 season.
On Sept. 11, Greely was literally seconds away from a key win over visiting Falmouth, but the Yachtsmen drew even with 3.4 seconds remaining, then triumphed in double overtime.
Thirty-two days later, the Rangers had their shot at revenge and an opportunity to put a punctuation mark on the regular season and did so in dramatic fashion.
After a first half marked by missed opportunities on both sides, Falmouth controlled play in the second half, but couldn't break through. Then, with 8:42 to play, Greely got a rare chance and freshman Jacob Nason delivered, firing a shot that deflected past Yachtsmen junior goalkeeper Will D'Agostino for the game's lone goal. The Rangers went on to a 1-0 win to finish the regular season 10-4, lock up the No. 3 spot for the playoffs and drop Falmouth to 8-3-2.
"We knew this game didn't matter that much for us for the (standings), but it did for us, especially after the way we lost the first time," said Greely coach Mike Andreasen. "We beat everybody on the schedule. We've improved. I thought Falmouth had the better of play tonight, but these guys can bounce back from any setback."
Greely missed the playoffs in 2010, got back last fall (falling to Scarborough in the Western A quarterfinals) and this year, had high hopes, but through 11 games, the Rangers' seven victories had been counter balanced by four tough setbacks: to Falmouth (3-2, in double overtime), York (1-0), Yarmouth (1-0) and Cape Elizabeth (1-0). That last loss appeared to doom Greely's hopes for a high seed, but everything changed in the regular season's final days.
Falmouth, which peaked late in 2011 and won yet another Class B championship, has also been dominant at times this autumn, while suffering some frustrating results along the way. The Yachtsmen's eight victories came by a composite 36-3 margin. Falmouth settled for ties at Yarmouth (2-2) and York (1-1) and fell at home to the Clippers (2-1, in double overtime) and at Cape Elizabeth (1-0).
Entering Saturday's contest, dating back to 2001, Falmouth had won 15 of 23 meetings against Greely, with five of those contests ending in draws. This time, however, on a chilly night with a raucous crowd on hand, the Rangers had the last word.
Just 68 seconds in, the tone was set when Falmouth senior Cooper Lycan got a look, but shot high. Moments later, sophomore Luke Velas' shot from the side was denied by Greely senior goalkeeper Elijah Leverett and a free kick by senior J.P. White was punched away by Leverett and cleared by the Rangers' defense.
Greely's first chance came in the 11th minute when a cross from Nason was cleared.
The Rangers then had three golden opportunities, but D'Agostino stood tall.
With 26:02 to go in the first half, Nason fed sophomore Ben Ingraham, but D'Agostino cut off the angle and Ingraham shot wide. Two minutes later, Nason took a pass from junior Aidan Black and fired a shot that D'Agostino had to dive to save. With 20:37 left before halftime, Nason fed sophomore Mitchel Donovan, whose shot forced D'Agostino to go all out again in horizontal fashion to deny the goal.
At the other end, Lycan had a look, but Leverett made a save.
With 13:26 to go in the half, a low shot by White forced Leverett to dive to make the save.
Falmouth senior Grant Burfeind then got in on the act, but twice shot wide.
With 3:20 remaining, White sent a back heel pass to Burfeind, who ran up the left side before crossing to Lycan in front of the box. Lycan had a great look, but shot high and the game remained scoreless at the break.
While te first half was relatively even, most of the second belonged to the Yachtsmen.
With 37:08 left in regulation, a shot by White was deflected off the side of the net, setting up a corner kick.
Three minutes later, Burfeind burst past a defender, but Leverett denied his left-footed flick.
With 24:05 remaining in regulation, a throw from Falmouth junior Nick Burton was headed on goal by Velas, but Leverett made the save.
Five minutes later, a Velas cross was headed on target by Burfeind, but again Leverett stood tall.
With 18:01 left, Burfeind outfought a defender for a loose ball in the box, but his shot went wide.
With just over 10 minutes to go, Burfeind's cross was deflected on target, but again Leverett snared it.
Then, Greely transitioned to offense, finally got a break and cashed it in.
With 8:42 to play, Nason, the super frosh, did the honors, beating a defender and attempting a cross which wound up bouncing off another defender and beating D'Agostino low into the far left side of the goal.
"I was just taking whatever I could get because they were man-marking me with (senior Tom Wilberg)," Nason said. "When I saw I beat him, I just took it. I didn't mean to shoot it. It was a cross. It was a lucky deflection. I'll take it."
"I think these two goalies are as good as anybody," Andreasen said. "I thought a goal would have to be fluky. Jacob's like a junior or senior with his headiness. I'm glad I have him three more years. He's special. He scores big goals."
Falmouth, which has made a habit of salvaging wins or ties from late deficits this fall, pushed to answer, but other than a corner kick with 6:32 remaining (which didn't even result in a shot) and a Burfeind cross in the final minute that was headed out of harm's way by Rangers senior Nicholas Shain, it couldn't generate chances.
The final horn sounded and Greely had completed its regular season in stirring fashion.
"It feels great," Nason said. "We really brought it. I knew we could do it. Last time was hard. It crushed my heart. Today was good. We knew we weren't communicating well. In practice, we started to peak this past week. It's paid off."
"We were searching for answers," Andreasen said. "We were searching for playmakers. I think we found one. Not just (Nason). Elijah Leverett's a playmaker. (Junior defender) Sam Porter's a playmaker. (Junior midfielder) Matt Crowley's a playmaker. (Senior) Doug Mitiguy played well for us in the second half. He had a bloody nose. Not everyone can run with Grant Burfeind and he did. Burfeind can make people look silly. He's so fast and so good. Mitchel Donovan told me before the game he had a knee injury and needed shorted minutes. Shortened minutes were from 80 to 72. He's a warrior. If he has one leg, he'd hop around. That's the kind of kid you need.
"We got back on the map last year. This year we wanted to go a step further and make a dent. We've made strides. I didn't think we'd get to 10-4 when we were 7-4, but the kids persevered and were mentally tough."
Falmouth shook off the defeat as a solid effort which just wasn't rewarded.
"You don't get points for possession," said Yachtsmen coach Dave Halligan. "You have to put the ball in the net. It was a great game. Both teams played well, getting ready for the tournament. (Greely) should do exceptionally well in the A tournament. They've come a long way, which is what I hope we're going to do. I'm not upset at my players. I wish I could be upset with something we didn't do, but we just didn't put the ball in the net. If we hadn't created opportunities, I'd be more concerned. "
Look ahead
Falmouth and Greely almost always enjoy regular season success, but these programs are all about winning championships and each has a very good chance to do so in the weeks the come.
The Yachtsmen appear moored to the No. 3 spot in the Western Class B Heal Points standings. Falmouth closes at home versus No. 4 York Tuesday in a contest which could shake things up a bit.
Regardless of where they finish, the Yachtsmen have what it takes for another championship run. Overlook them at your peril.
"We don't worry about the (Heal Points)," Halligan said. "We just worry about what we can take care of. We had a tough ending stretch with Cape, Yarmouth, York and Greely. I think we're making progress."
Greely will be third behind Scarborough and Gorham (who are still battling it out for the top spot) in Western A. The Rangers won't take the field again until the quarterfinal round Oct. 24.
After this great regular season-ending run, Greely will enter the postseason full of confidence.
"I think we have a good run in us," said Nason. "We'll have a good week of practice. I think we're in good shape."
"Scarborough and Gorham have similar firepower to Falmouth," said Andreasen. "It comes down to a play here or there. What I like about our team, for as long as I can remember, we've had a better road record than home record, which means we can get on a bus and go win. I'm happy this team has heart and playmakers. We could lose our first game, but I think we're in a pretty good position. We'll give it our best. If it's not good enough, it's not good enough."

Hi, I'm Chelsea Schrage. I interned during summer 2011 at the Bighorn National Forest Visitor Center. The Bighorn Mountains are located in north-central Wyoming and are a sister range of the Rocky Mountains. The best part of my job was talking with, and answering questions from, visitors who came from around the world to visit the Bighorn Mountains on their way to Yellowstone National Park.
Hi, I'm Becky Hafer. I interned during the spring semester of 2011 at National Geographic Society headquarters in downtown Washington D.C. This internship was very competitive and I worked alongside students from Penn State, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Texas Tech, and Wyoming. I met people from throughout the world who came to share their research with National Geographic. My primary duties focused on assisting with National Geographic Education programs, known worldwide for their quality. The opportunities I had at Wayne State college to tutor, travel, study, and serve as an organization officer were critical to my landing this internship!
|Hi, I'm Whitnea Cline. In the summer of 2008, I interned at Downtown West Newton, Inc. near Pittsburgh. My internship focused on developing tourism in the suburb of West Newton. I helped develop and conduct surveys of visitors who utilize the Great Allegheny Passage Trail. Using the collected data, we interpreted the information in order to create marketing materials that emphasize the tourism highlights of the area. Most importantly, we engaged the local townspeople in taking greater responsibility for promoting their community. Best of all, I got written up in the local newspaper!
Hi, I'm Heather Hegi. I worked for the State of South Dakota Intern Program in the Wildlife Division of the Department of Game, Fish, and Parks. My main task was to update the Hunting Atlas for the State of SD which comes out every year. I enjoyed my time in Pierre where I received hands-on, real world experience using ArcMap software which allowed me to create and edit maps. My internship gave me real responsibility, help in developing job skills, and valuable experience toward future employment. I would encourage anyone to apply for an internship.
Hi, I'm Marisa Hingst. I interned with my employer, Michael Foods in Wakefield, NE. My goal was to learn more about formal environmental management systems in the industrial world. I received on-the-job instruction in food processing practices, soil sampling for manure and egg-shell application sites, and proper soil nutrient management practices and laws specific to our by-product wastes. Everything I did was designed to make me better at my job, so my employer was happy to cooperate. I now have a much better understanding of capital project considerations.
Hi, I'm Seth Poldberg. In the spring of 2007, I accepted an internship with U.S. Senator Charles Grassley-R, IA. I worked on Senator Grassley's staff at the Hart Senate Building in Washington, D.C. from January 8th to the end of May. Thousands applied and only 5 interns were chosen. I was a December 2006 graduate of WSC with a Field Endorsement in Social Sciences Education.
|Hi, I'm Brian Bruckner. I spent the summer of 2006 as an Assistant to the Director of Woodbury County Rural Economic Development Office in Sioux City, IA. I originally became interested in the work that the county was doing to breathe economic life into rural areas through real estate tax rebates and by fostering the creation of local demand for organically grown farm products. I set up my internship by directly contacting the Director of the county department. Though lacking a formal internship program, they were willing to put me on staff for the summer because--with a background in farming--I came across as passionate about the issues and convinced them that I could make a valuable contribution to the department's efforts.
Phil Heimann.
In the spring of 2005 I interned with the City Inspector's
Office in the Wayne Municipal Building. I learned to use
AutoCad and to work with city block data. There is
absolutely no substitute for "hands on" experience and I'm proud
to feature it on my resume. I
enjoyed this experience so much that I undertook a second
internship for the summer of 2005 at Jewel
Cave National Monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota
where I worked as a tour guide.
Jamie Petersen.
In the summer of 2004 I interned at the National Audubon
Society's Corkscrew
Swamp Sanctuary
in Florida. I worked as a natural resource manager to keep
the sanctuary's wildlife and plants protected, and also as a
boardwalk naturalist educating others about the swamp. My
duties included using GPS and mapping software to plot out the
sanctuary's burn units. I had been told time after time
that an internship is one of the best ways to land a job,
especially by Dr. Bertolas, but I did not truly understand why
until now. During the Spring 2005 semester, I did a second
internship--this one in Omaha at Applied Data
work full-time for ADC as a GIS Analyst. I just want to
say thanks, Dr. Bertolas, for pushing the idea of getting an
internship and stressing the importance of gaining experience
and networking. It really paid off for me.
Ted Gibson.
In the summer of 2003, I interned for Applied Data
Interestingly, I obtained my internship by directly
calling ADC and asking if I could submit my credentials.
To my surprise, I got a phone interview and, later, a
paying summer position at the ADC branch office in Eau Claire,
WI. My duties involved helping out on a variety of
projects for ADC's clients.
Katie Kruger.
I worked as a paid intern for the Nebraska
Department of Roads
during the summer of 2003. My duties included remapping
the Lincoln city limits, plotting new roads on maps of various
Nebraska cities, and creating a database of information
regarding highway intersections. Finding an internship was
a challenge but, in the long run, it was worth it.
Matt Tobias.
I worked as an intern in the Fiber Optics
Department for South Sioux City,
Nebraska. I learned about GPS technology and how to
integrate it with advanced ArcView software in order to map the
utility system in the Greater South Sioux City area. My
internship was a wonderful experience that I enjoyed
Curt Becker.
After graduating with a degree in Geography from WSC, I spent
much of 2002 as a Water Resources Intern with the Lower Elkhorn
Natural Resources District.
have studied to become certified as a water well monitoring
technician and learned how to use advanced ArcView
software. I collected water samples from wells throughout
the district, concentrating on irrigation wells and their
nitrate levels. Eventually, I produced maps dealing with
water quality and water levels. It was a fantastic
experience to be working alongside professionals and using my
Geography training.
Beau Denker. I worked for the South Dakota state
government's Executive
Intern Program in Pierre, South Dakota during the summer of
2002 and loved my internship. I used ArcView GIS to create
Ground Water Quality layouts of source water wells. I also
did susceptibility analysis for potential contaminant sources, and
conducted field work in the Black Hills. My internship kept
me very busy, but I learned so much and really enjoyed the work.
Nate Dougherty. I spent the summer of 2002 as an
intern in the Crime Mapping Analysis Lab at the Omaha Police
Department. The position called for extensive use of
Geographic Information Systems and I learned a great deal while
"on-the-job." My workload included designing precinct maps,
geocoding addresses, and linking suspects to crime scenes. I
really used the GIS skills I learned at WSC, and it was great!
Jon Kuddes. I worked for the National
Weather Service in Valley, NE during the summer of
2001. I plotted data related to weather systems moving
through the Platte River valley. Internships are a valuable
experience that goes far beyond the classroom. With an
internship, a student can get first hand experience with the help
of professionals in that field. This allows a student to
learn about his/her field of study and get a taste of the real
world as well as future job opportunities. I absolutely
loved my time as an intern.
Advice for Obtaining Student
Back to Top of Page
What are
Although definitions vary, basically the student works outside the traditional academic environment to gain practical job experience and extend his/her learning to a new setting. The term covers co-ops, temporary projects and some full- or part-time jobs, whether they last for one semester or for the academic year. In all of these cases, the student can receive academic credit for job-related research. Some organizations provide at least a nominal salary to students, but interns can also volunteer their time. It is up to you and the organization which sponsors your internship to agree on your actual duties, compensation, hours, etc. Keep in mind, however, most internships do not pay or provide living expenses, though you may find some that do.
can I find internships?
Start by checking with the Geography Program Area for a current list of contacts and position announcements. Another resource is your fellow students who are or have participated in internships, so find out how they went about getting their positions.
Wayne State College's Career Placement Center is a great place to expand your list of possible contacts and counselors may have valuable suggestions. Remember, some summer or part-time jobs can qualify as internships. Don't get discouraged if you don't find many internships earmarked for "Geographers" -- rarely are notices that specific. Descriptions of the duties involved give you a much better idea of whether you have the knowledge required for the position.
Another place to look for internship information is at your local public or college library. Try The Internship Bible and The Princeton Review which list thousands of opportunities. The Work Study and Student Employment Offices are also sources for job notices that may fall under the category of Geography.
Can I
find out about internships through the Internet?
You betcha! The Internet is an excellent tool to use in your efforts to locate an internship. Possible web sites to begin your search might include the following:
Trak allows you to search the Internet for internship
opportunities (registration required).
Data Consultants is one of the largest GIS firms in the Midwest,
and occasionally accept internship applications, though they rarely
advertise positions..
Conservation Association (SCA) provides conservation service
internships and volunteer opportunities in National Parks, Forests and
other public lands.
Applications International Corporation (SAIC) administers many
internship programs at government centers across the country, including
the internship program at the USGS EROS Data Center in Sioux
Falls, SD. To see if they have any internships available (and to
apply online--have your resume ready to copy and paste in digital form)
simply go to their site and click on Find Your Job, Location,
South Dakota, and then see if any internships are currently
available in Sioux Falls. They update available positions
Wetfeet.com lets you search an extensive database of internships, read internship reviews, create your own real-intern profile, or research companies and careers.
CoolWorks.com provides information on internships and jobs around the country at national parks and monuments, summer camps and amusement parks.
State of South Dakota's Executive Intern Program provides
opportunities for students to gain first-hand knowledge and
understanding of governmental processes through pre-professional work
experiences in various occupational fields. The Executive Intern
Program offers internships for students in many areas, some of which
include accounting, corrections, education, engineering, fisheries and
wildlife, law, nursing, pharmacy, photography, physical therapy, and
public relations.
Nebraska Department of Roads might be a place to look if you are staying in Lincoln over the summer. Often, positions at the NDOR are not advertised, so you might try politely contacting some of the individuals listed at this site to see what is currently available.
should I know about actually applying for an internship?
When you've finished your research, you should have a list of possible sponsors and phone numbers or addresses where they can be reached. When you contact them, you need to be politely aggressive, efficient, and professional. Some things to think about before calling:
1. Be prepared for some curves: the internships listed may no longer be offered, or may be offered next fall, etc. Be polite but firm in getting to the right person to tell you which internships are available, now and in the future.
2. Prepare a story about Geography. Many internships which Geography majors have actually received don't mention Geography as one of the qualifying majors, though many do say something like "or other qualified majors". So be prepared to succinctly describe your skills and interests: for example, if you are in urban geography, you could talk about your ability to analyze residential housing or retailing, suburban land use, etc.
3. Prepare a professional story about yourself. Some elements of this story might be your background and interests in the type of work this organization does; your coursework; your writing, data-gathering, statistical and research skills; and your career goals.
4. Have at least a draft letter of interest and resume ready to go. You should tailor it a bit for each position -- ideally, it should be on a computer disk so you can make minor changes and print it out quickly. Many places will want to see such paper from you, or will be impressed if you get it to them as soon as you can.
5. Be persistent and cultivate contacts. Even if things don't work out this semester, you may discover valuable advice on how to appear more competitive on paper as you go along. Don't be shy about calling people back either; polite but firm aggressiveness may be to your advantage.
6. When you do set up your internship, be sure that all of the arrangements between you and your sponsor are clear, including the length of the internship, hours per week, pay, supervision and, most importantly, the specific duties you will be performing. Menial tasks and answering the phone are not what internships are designed for - you may do some work like that, but make sure that you also will be doing work which will give you practical experience in the field of Geography. When people do encounter problems with their internships, one of the primary reasons is that there are unclear expectations among the parties. Don't let this happen to you.
benefits can I expect as a student intern?
Internships can provide a unique learning experience outside the traditional academic environment, one where you can test the theories, concepts and methods introduced in the classroom. In studying the functions and workings of a particular organization, you also gain experience working with others and seeing how decisions are made. Also, as an intern you get the chance to explore potential careers and make key contacts in the field. Most of all, internships can provide you with the opportunity to get to know yourself better: What kinds of work do you enjoy the most? How do you react in particular work environments? What kinds of people do you like to work with? What things can you do particularly well? What areas of Geography would you like or do you need to know more about?
Is this
for you?
Internships can be wonderful experiences - educational, exciting, challenging - but they are not for everyone. Working as an intern involves discipline, responsibility and a firm commitment to getting the most from this experience. But before trying to find an internship, be sure that your goals are realistic and that this is really the opportunity for you. Do not expect to get rich -- although some organizations do offer minimal salaries, many do not. What you will receive in the way of experience, contacts and knowledge more than makes up for the donation of your time.
Credit Necessary or Appropriate?
Not always. You don't need to sign up for credits to take on an internship. Especially in the private sector, sponsors may not be particular about the connection with the college. One thing to keep in mind: if you can't think of a project because you don't know enough about the industry or public policy issue, you might hold off the academic exploration of a problem until after you've interned for a time--then, perhaps, intern again and get credit that semester, or sign up for an independent study course.
What if
I have problems during my internship?
In any situation where you are dealing with people it is possible for misunderstandings and personality conflicts to occur. Part of your learning experience will be to handle these problems in a professional manner as they arise. Don't wait for small issues to mushroom into huge problems; encourage communication and feedback on what is going on. Along with unclear expectations, poor communication is the primary cause for problems in most internships. Hopefully, your maturity and communication skills will avert any major problems; if, however, a situation does arise which you and your sponsoring organization are not able to resolve, contact your faculty supervisor or advisor.
One of the surest ways to land a good job is to land a good internship - - paid or voluntary - - while you are still an undergraduate.

(AP) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida grand jury has indicted a man on a first-degree murder charge in the death of a teenager following an argument over loud music coming from the teen's car.
The Florida Times-Union ( http://bit.ly/12cV9g2) reports officials in the state attorney's office said Thursday they won't be seeking the death penalty against 46-year-old Michael David Dunn. He was initially charged with second-degree murder.
Dunn is accused of the Nov. 23 shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
Officials say Dunn parked next to the vehicle where Davis was sitting with three other teens. Dunn complained about the loud music and they stared arguing. Dunn told police he thought he saw a gun and fired eight or nine shots into the vehicle.
Grand jurors also added three counts of attempted murder.

Update the syslink documentation. This is still a work in progress. The main change is that I got stuck in a hole and diverged from my original concept of having a self-identifying network. These changes reformulate the algorithms such that we are back to the self-identifying network concept. That is, the idea that you can just connect into a cluster at any point and everything will be worked out automatically. One big issue still needs to be resolved, and that is how to figure out an optimal physical route from point A to point C without having to go through point B, where point B is the registration node used as a rendezvous for A and C. It is always possible for A to issue a cluster-wide broadcast to 'forge' a route to C, or vise-versa, and we will probably implement things this way initially (and always have it available for emergencies), but it would not scale as the cluster grows despite the fairly rough granularity in the resources being advertised (e.g. filesystems rather then files).
Update the syslink documentation. A number of major design changes have been made. In particular, there was insufficient uniqueness in the logical id methodology in the face of any major (live) change made in the cluster topology. Introduce a session id abstraction to deal with the issue. This also allows us to avoid adding another sysid_t to the message structure (there are already three).

Space 237 celebrates its 10th anniversary with 'Allegories'Written by Amy Biolchini | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Space 237 is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the opening of "Allegories," a collection of submissions that takes a contemporary look at storytelling through visual media. The exhibit opens with a reception with the 10 featured artists from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Oct. 15.
Myela Slattery, exhibition coordinator, said that although the artists didn't collaborate to form the exhibition, there is an overarching story that's conveyed when all of the pieces are viewed together.
"We did tons of submissions throughout the year and noticed in them a group of artists had similar themes and pulled those ones," Slattery said. "The title of the show is the theme that we found, that they're all telling a story."
The artists range from national to local, including May 2010 University of Toledo graduate Chelsey Hammersmith. The submission committee also found a recurring storytelling theme in the works of Laura Barnhard, Julie Cikra, Mark Dancey, Chris Dean, Clifton Harvey, Lynda McClanahan, Erin Morlock, Robert Sennhauser and Brian Spolans.
Storytelling takes place in numerous ways throughout the exhibit's pieces and each artist has their own approach. Barnhard places herself as the protagonist in the fantasy world of her work. Sennhauser's photographs of signs and different visual images of language invite the viewer to make their own assumptions.
According to McClanahan, her oil paintings were inspired by a vision she had on a meditation retreat, this vision has been her muse ever since. Spolan's mixed media pieces are narrative scenes of his interpretation of many familiar pop culture references.
Harvey places illustrated characters in his photographs of specific environments to convey a moral message. "Allegories" features work from Harvey's most recent pieces, his "Left Behind" and "The Conductor" series.
Space 237 Galleries & Clayspace at 237 N. Michigan Ave. is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and by appointment. The exhibit runs through Jan. 8.

With that, I'll introduce the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John Shalikashvili.
General Shalikashvili: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd like to take this opportunity to provide you a very short update on our operations in Haiti so far. As you well know, today now marks slightly over two weeks since our forces were introduced peacefully into Haiti. From the beginning, our mission in Haiti has been to assist in establishing a secure and stable environment that will allow for the restoration of civil order and permit the return of democratic government.
Before I take your questions, I'd like to take a few minutes to fill you in on some of the progress to date.
The deployment of U.S. Forces is essentially complete. Our Forces peaked at the neighborhood of some 21,000. Sunday, U.S. Marines started pulling out our 1,300 Marines from Cap-Haitien, and completed that pull-out yesterday. These Marines, by the way, will now be on standby as an afloat reserve. We expect U.S. troop strength to draw down in the near term to around 16,500; then down to some 15,000 by the end of the month; and down to 6,000 by the time we turn this operation over to the United Nations.
At the same time, some U.S. troops are withdrawing [and] multinational forces are now beginning to arrive in Haiti. Over 200 Caribbean community troops recently arrived in Haiti, and international police monitors are arriving daily, and I'll have a little bit more to say about that in a minute.
Our Forces are establishing themselves ashore in many ways including: development of an on-shore logistics capability; an expeditionary medical facility in Port-au-Prince; and the reopening of Port-au-Prince International Airport to commercial traffic by tomorrow morning.
In the outlying areas of Haiti, our special forces teams are deployed to assist the Haitian people during this transition period by providing a more secure environment in which people can conduct their daily affairs.
Much has been reported about the security environment in Port-au-Prince. Multinational forces, I think, have made significant progress and will continue to act to establish the safe and secure environment necessary for the restoration of democratic government. We have successfully initiated a weapons control and reduction program--collecting, as of today, over 4,000 weapons, including over 1,000 hand grenades. We will aggressively continue all of our programs to this end.
I'd also like to briefly address the notion of mission creep. I simply don't see it that way. Our mission has not changed from the beginning. What has happened is that we have changed our capabilities and adjusted our procedures slightly, consistent with the changed circumstances on the ground, and I don't think you would want us to do any different.
I recently visited our Forces in Haiti, and was extremely pleased with the performance of our Forces. By the way, Admiral Miller, the overall commander of this operation, is in Haiti today conducting a personal assessment and will be reporting back to me later on today with his personal observations.
Let me run through just a couple of slides for you to make some of the points that I had in the prepared statement. First of all, much of the reporting is always focused on Port-au-Prince, and perhaps Cap-Haitien, so we tend to lose sight that there are Americans in all the other locations that you see on this chart--on this map. They are the ones that are providing the very needed sense of security to the people out in the countryside, providing medical assistance, and in general, ensuring that the countryside is in fact very quiet--as it has been day in and day out, but with very, very few exceptions. The countryside has been very quiet. So I just wanted to point out to you that American presence is not confined to Cap-Haitien and Port-au-Prince.
One of the things that I address is the weapons buy-back program. These are catalogued weapons that we have collected so far. This chart is as of three o'clock yesterday. Since then [and] in my discussions with Admiral Miller about half an hour ago--he tells me that the count is now well over 4,000 that they have collected.
I am particularly impressed by the 1,100 or so grenades that we've been able to collect, and some 226 that we've been able to buy back. I would make the point to you, as I have on previous occasions, this is not an all-or-nothing program. I'm sure that 1,000 grenades are nowhere near all the grenades that are out there. But that's 1,000 grenades that are off the street today that weren't off the street just a few days ago and that could have done the damage that we saw earlier in this operation.
The second point I will tell you is that it's often thought that somehow we have expanded our operation, and that we are now going from house to house searching for weapons. We are not. We are not doing that. We are going to houses only in response to specific information that those houses contain caches of weapons or automatic weapons designed to hurt us all, as opposed to weapons that are maintained by people who are properly licensed to have weapons such as guards or private industry and others. So I want to dispel the notion that we sometime have had mission creep and now are searching house-to-house for weapons, which we are not doing.
The other point that has to do with security and the secure climate are the international police monitors. This slide shows you the first group of these international police monitors who started deploying on the 29th of September and who will be fully deployed by the 7th of October. These are the countries and the numbers shown in parentheses where this first batch of police monitors is coming.
The next chart will show you the remainder of the police monitors and when they will be arriving. As of today, we have nearly 200 police monitors in country. And you can see the rest of the dates, until the 11th of this month, when all of them will be in place from this initial group; some 840, 850 police monitors, who are very, very important in the effort now to go along with the existing police, ensuring that human rights are not being violated by the existing police, being able to coach them on proper police techniques. Later on as we begin to introduce the new interim police, they, of course, will be key in doing the same function--particularly then the function of coaching the new police in proper police procedures.
To put it in perspective, these are some 840 police monitors. In Port-au-Prince right now, to the best of our knowledge, there are some 1,700 policemen. That means we will have nearly one police monitor for every two policemen on the beat. So certainly it signals the importance that we attach to this program and how key I think these individuals will be to the restoration of law and order and the conduct of law and order by the Haitian police.
With those few charts, let me finish and open it up for questions.
Q: General, many have made the analogy between Haiti and the U.S. mission in Somalia. And in our observation, much of the reporting is focusing on Port-au-Prince. It's very reminiscent of the criticism that the press received in focusing on Mogadishu and not reporting the story in the outlying parts of Somalia. Why is this Haiti mission not Somalia all over again?
A: I see very, very few similarities.
We are in this country to assist in establishing a safe and secure environment, as I mentioned just a few moments ago, to allow for the restoration of the democratic government, the return of the democratic government. To do so, we rely very much on a structure in Haiti that is in existence that was totally non-existent in Mogadishu, so that meant in most parts of Somalia. Whether you like it or not, there is a functioning government in Haiti. There is a police force, although by our standards inadequate. There is a military, although many parts of that we don't like. But there are these institutions. There is a parliament that is debating the issue of an amnesty law and other things. I think the conditions are very different.
We have an elected president here in this country poised to go back and take over the reins of the government. I think the conditions are very different.
Q: To the issue of the return of Aristide--the transition on the 15th--what will be the conditions of this transition as far as the U.S. military role is concerned? And most especially, who will then have authority after the 15th? Where will that authority reside?
A: First of all, the United States will continue to have the same role that we do now. And that is in assisting to provide a secure environment and a degree of stability that permits the return of President Aristide and his government. The government will be in the full hands of President Aristide.
Q: And the generals, have they been talking to the U.S. military about a way to leave the country yet? Have you heard anything from them?
A: We have been talking to General Cedras almost daily. We have been talking about the conduct of day-to-day business in Haiti today until such time as General Cedras and General Biamby and Colonel Francois leave power. We have not discussed with them the specifics of the 15th. We expect them to be gone on the 15th--the day before President Aristide returns.
I have absolutely no doubt that they will leave power on that day. And as I've said on previous occasions, there's certainly nothing in the agreement that says they will leave the country. It is, for me, difficult to imagine that for practical reasons they would stay, but that's something for them to answer.
Q: Leaving the country is one thing. Going next door to the Dominican Republic is another. It seems that one has already done that, Colonel Francois. Do you get any indication from your intelligence down there organized resistance either on the part of the army or the police. Do you get any feeling that Cedras and Biamby may move next door to the Dominican Republic and sort of continue their political agenda from there?
A: We have the same information that you have: that Colonel Francois family today did, in fact, go across the border into the Dominican Republic, although I don't have that confirmation from the Dominican Republic. I have no indication that General Cedras or Biamby are going to follow suit. We just simply have not had those discussions with them.
As far as organized resistance is concerned, I think we're probably picking up the same sort of rumors and whatnot. We follow every intelligence lead that we get that would indicate that there are some groups that might be planning this--doing it. So far, we have not found any concrete evidence that is so, but we take that very seriously, just as we take very seriously the tension that exists in the country and the possibility that organized groups might form before the 15th or after the 15th. We certainly try very, very hard not to leave one lead without following up on it.
Q: General, the task force has been working with the Haitian police and military for two weeks now. With the departure of Francois, the chief of police, is the security environment enhanced, or is it hurt with his departure?
A: It's too hard for me to tell. I've been told a few minutes ago that some other individual has been appointed as the new head of the police in the absence of Colonel Francois. My sense is that the effectiveness of the police has been steadily degraded. I think that will continue until the 15th and until we begin to stand up a new interim police force. By the way, [it is] a process that Admiral Miller is in Port-au-Prince discussing. It is our hope that we can begin to establish this new interim police in Cap-Haitien within a very few days. To establish this model that we can then also begin to use in Port-au-Prince, if not in the complete town at once; that we can start with some precincts or area of the town--to begin to introduce the new interim police because it is our feeling that the existing police and their effectiveness in many areas have almost totally disappeared, and in others is degraded.
Q: All along you've said that security was an important issue for the return of President Aristide. President Aristide now apparently is having second thoughts about returning as long as General Cedras remains in country. Is this going to present a problem for the U.S. military? Are you going to find yourselves as negotiators with the general in trying to get him to leave?
A: I don't see us in that role. I told you before, that from the very beginning, I have had great difficulty visualizing why he would wish to stay and whether it would be possible for him to stay. You only have to listen to some of those special force teams who have been visiting jails out in the countryside to see that the human rights violations that have occurred while he was in power--whether that by commission or omission is immaterial. Surely there must be a great deal of animosity--hatred--towards him for all that happened. That's why I find it so very difficult to imagine that he or Biamby would stay. Obviously, Francois must have reached the same conclusion.
As far as President Aristide is concerned, I can only tell you that in all of my discussions this issue has never come up and I have never heard it phrased like that.
Q: I believe you are relying on the Haitian police to go house-to-house, searching for weapons to disarm the thugs there in Haiti. But as you point out, the effectiveness of the Haitian police is deteriorating. Would you rule out altogether the notion of United States troops going house-to-house to search for weapons?
A: I would rule it out as kind of a house-to-house search for weapons. That's not what we want to get into. That's contrasted from going after, or following up on information that we have of,significant arms caches. For going out when we have information that certain paramilitary groups have houses where they maintain weapons, or for that matter, might have material that would indicate that they are trying to cause trouble for multinational forces either now or later. In those cases, American Forces have gone in and will continue going in. But I really need to contrast that from this sort of a house-to-house search--random search--for weapons that might or might not be there. That's something that if it's to be done, it's best done by the Haitian police, hopefully now; if they are incapable of doing it, then as soon as we have the new police in place, then they start doing that. The first test of that, I think, will come in a very few days in Cap-Haitien.
Q: Looking at your list of weapons brought in, it's striking how many you've had to capture and how few have come from the purchase program. Are you proposing to improve the incentives in the purchase program in any way? The second question, when you gave your first press conference after the operation began, you talked of the crucial importance of establishing a cooperative relationship with the Haitian army. Do you think you still have a cooperative relationship with the Haitian army? And specifically, do you think Cedras any longer actually controls...
A: Your first question. I think if we were to think of some ways to make the buy-back program more attractive, we will do so. As a matter of fact, we are thinking of something. If money is really the best instrument, or could you offer some goods that are very difficult to obtain in Haiti but that might appeal to young people, because most of them who turn in weapons are young people. We are looking at that.
I remember that day when we first talked about a buy-back program. I said that I was under no illusions that this thing would really pick up "steam" until probably after the 15th, because there is a great deal of question among the people-- whether they at this point ought to get rid of what they probably consider their insurance policy. But I also said we were going to proceed as vigorously as we can. We are going to do that. I think this program is going to improve significantly after the 15th.
As far as our cooperative arrangement is concerned with General Cedras, he has... First of all, I need to characterize that our cooperative arrangement is that we do inform him of everything that we do. If he has some good ideas of how to adjust something, which he has had in the past, we certainly welcome that. He certainly has no veto over anything that we do. He's never asked for a veto of anything we do.
I think over time he and his military are becoming less and less effective. They are caught in a position of recognizing that we're looking over their shoulder and want to make absolutely sure that they do not commit human rights violations, or use undue force. On the other hand, they know that the crowds perhaps perceive them as less capable and less effective, and therefore, they find themselves perhaps in more danger than they would have before. All of this sort of adds up to the fact that they are taking more and more of a back seat.
I think that's something that was a natural outgrowth of this relationship that we established. But I would tell you that when you look at the total country or when you look at Port-au-Prince alone--which is the one that we so often concentrate on and rightfully so, and I understand why--you have to understand that we are now two weeks and one day into this operation. We have had two Americans hurt--no one killed, thank God. That is partly due, I think, to the solid planning that Admiral Miller and his folks did for this operation; the preparations they went through; the very, very excellent training and the discipline of the troops, the Marines, all of them on the ground. But it also has something to do with this cooperative arrangement that we have had with both the police through Francois and the military through Cedras.
So I think it's a combination of all of that that has essentially kept us on schedule, on time. Multinational folks beginning to flow in. We have been, I think, smart enough, when we saw that the security situation was deteriorating slightly because the police and the military weren't doing as much as we thought they would be doing, and thereby increased our police, kept the Marines longer. I know it gave some of you pause because it looked like, and it did, in fact, increase our overall strength. But I think that was a prudent adjustment to the situation on the ground. Now we're beginning to get a handle on it again, [to] start drawing it down again.
The same with our weapons control program--that you adjust to the situation on the ground. We would like all of it to be done by the Haitian police. We now see that there's a limited amount that they can do. Rather than them leaving those weapons out there, I think we are doing what we were always prepared to do. So I don't see any of these things as a kind of a mission creep, or even for that matter, any significant adjustment from how we went in. It was just prudent adjustments to the tactical situation on the ground.
Q: How encouraged are you by Colonel Francois departure? And what do you think his departure signals?
A: I am encouraged by it. After all, the United Nations resolutions and others spoke about three individuals who had to leave the country. If this is true what we are hearing today that he has, in fact, now gone to the Dominican Republic, that's one out of three, only two left. So I think we're on the right glide path.
What does it signify? I don't know. I think that's a personal decision that he made that is best for him. I think that we have to deal with the reality on the ground. We have to get to know the new men on the ground and work with the police as long as they are still there until the 15th when the new government moves in.
Thank you very much.

In honor of Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, we'll be introducing you to an adult furball looking for a place to live out its golden years throughout November. Today, we'd like you to meet Jessie, a kitty who has remained sweet despite having his whole world turned upside-down.
When his owners moved in September, they couldn't take Jessie along. The 8 lb. senior cat was surrendered to the SPCA of Texas in Dallas, but the cheerful cat hasn't allowed shelter life to get him down.
"He spends his days lounging around and hanging out with the other cats in his condo," says communications specialist Stephanie Daniels. "He enjoys getting his chin scratched and would make the perfect companion for any family."
The dapper looking black cat, whom Daniels' describes as "a big-time cuddle bug," is friendly, calm and litter box trained. "Jessie is such a sweet, laid back kitty," she adds. To read more about him, click here.
If Jessie seems like the purr-fect fit for your family, contact the SPCA at (214)742-SPCA.
Click here to meet last week's adoptable pet, Fraggle.
Adopting a pet is an amazing experience – and a big decision! Before bringing a pet into your home it's important to consider your family circumstances and do your research on breeds.

SPACE CHANGE: REGENCY ROOM, Holmes Student Center
Is Chicago truly the birthplace of the skyscraper? And what makes a building a skyscraper anyway? Find out from popular Chicago Public Television host/film maker and Chicago Architecture Foundation tour guide Geoffrey Baer. In this talk Geoffrey gives a capsule history of Chicago's astonishing and rapid rise from a tiny trading post on the American frontier to a teeming metropolis. The Great Fire of 1871 could have finished off the upstart town. But out of the ashes rose the world's first city of skyscrapers.
As a bonus, Geoffrey will also engage the audience in an interactive quiz based on his newest Public TV program, a quiz show about Chicago history. Whether you know the answers or not you'll have fun and probably learn some things you never knew.
This event is free and open to the public.
That Belongs in a Museum: A Show-and-Tell Storytelling Event
Thursday, Feb 19 from 7-9 pm at The House, 263 E. Lincoln Hwy., DeKalb.
Anyone may bring an object of personal, historic, humerous, etc. significance and share its unique story.
This is the first time "That Belongs in a Museum" has taken place outside of Chicago.
Here is your chance to enjoy the generosity of local residents for allowing us a glimpse of the art and objects that enrich their personal lives every day. Featured collectors include Mary-Glynn and John H. Boies, Rodney Borstad, Gerald and Cheryl Brauer, Richard M. Cooler, Robert and Christa Even, Sven Oskar Hansen, Barbara Hulseberg, Ronald G. Klein, David McMahon, Molly Carter and David Menard, Jerry D. and Miriam Meyer, Charlie and Dedrie Rudolph, Dan and Virginia Seymour and Jerry and Ging Smith.
What motivates individuals to select and arrange art and objects in their private living spaces?" asks exhibition co-curator Michael Bennett. "I am fascinated by the way the impulse to collect objects is both universal and highly individual. Each of us, in our own way, asserts our identity by surrounding ourselves with things we love. In a way, the objects become a self-portrait of our aesthetics." For example, at the home of retired art historian Jerry D. Meyer and his wife Miriam, one finds paintings, drawings and prints by colleagues from the NIU School of Art, but also objects with aesthetic and nostalgic appeal, such as vintage toys, a beautifully designedwooden pitchfork and an antique rocking horse. Ronald G. Klein has been active in the community, both as an attorney and board member of several local organizations for many years, and one feels a strong sense of place among his collection of artwork depicting rural scenes, and books documenting DeKalb County history. According to exhibition co-curator Peter Olson, "We are thrilled to highlight the visual richness of our community, and to tell the personal stories behind the objects. We hope to embark on a future series of exhibitions, each highlighting a different group of collectors from our community.
This event is held in conjunction with an exhibition at the NIU Art Museum in Altgeld Hall.
Local Visions: Selections From Area Collections, a diverse exhibition including art from the 18th through the 21st centuries, Indonesian textiles, circus posters, antiques, Roseville pottery, record sleeves, vintage toys, folk art and much more. The exhibition opens on Tuesday, January 6 and runs through Saturday, February 21. The public reception on Thursday, January 15, 4:30 – 6 p.m. will feature a gallery talk by artists, collectors and curators Peter Olson and Michael Bennett at 5 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public.

With this new Kickstarter project comes a brand new game, Project Ravensdale! This twin stick arcade shooter, in the vein of Metal Slug, promises to be a rollicking fun time, if the Kickstarter succeeds in its fundraising goal of course. I sat down with Managing Director Adrian Goersch and Game Design Lead David Sallman, to discuss some of the more fun aspects of Project Ravensdale. ME: Creating Ravensdale as an entirely new project is certainly ambitious, even after the success of Giana Sisters. What do you perceive as being the biggest challenge in creating this new IP? BLACK FOREST: The most challenging part for now is finding the funding for the game development. It is always very difficult to explain to potential publishers, investors, bank and also backers, what you want to do, if you are trying something completely new. But it was never an option for us to go for a GS:TD 2 immediately. ME: What are the primary influences on the design of Ravensdale? And how will these influences show themselves in the final game? BLACK FOREST: We are more influenced by a game type than by specific games for Ravensdale (classic arcade platform shooting). Notable examples would be the Contra, Metal Slug and Mega Man series, with Metal Slug being the closest look and feel-wise, but those are references, and not starting points. This is a big difference from Giana, which was a love letter to the team's favorite classic platformer games. With Ravensdale, we are aiming to reinvent running and gunning and layer the classic game type with something new. "…we are aiming to reinvent running and gunning" ME: With The heavy Co-Op emphasis in this game, in the single player component, will there be capable friendly AI, or will it be just you against the storm? BLACK FOREST: We won't have friendly AI in the game as you can't communicate and coordinate with them like with other players, and giving them orders would be too clunky. So what's up with single player? Won't you be able to do the cool stuff you do in multiplayer? Actually, you will – instead of having bots that completely replace a player, we'll have parts of the environment that fulfill a role equivalent to a very specific part of a player. For example, in multiplayer, your arc connector zaps things between itself and the players. It hovers in the "center of mass" of all players, so players can influence its position simply by moving. Magnets in the levels can mess with that, either being a liability or a helper, depending on the context. In single player, you won't have other players to influence the generator's position, but you'll still have the magnets. Those can be immobile in the background, or attached to moving platforms or objects you can manipulate in a variety of ways in more advanced situations. We're currently experimenting with other environmental objects that echo specific player abilities, like a mobile cannon that absorbs your shots, amplifies them with an overdrive and blasts them out again. All in all, you should be able to do everything you do in multiplayer in single player as well. You're just a lot more flexible in multiplayer, and have more control over when and where you use those abilities. The tougher content in the game can be mastered either with teamwork or pure twitch skill. There's even some great art for all players to enjoy! ME: The Arc Connector is a pretty nifty weapon, introducing a whole host of puzzle and physics elements to the game. Are there any other twists to the twin-stick shooter genre that are being dreamed up? BLACK FOREST: We want the game to be highly replayable, and to that effect, we are going to experiment with a layered template system for the levels. This essentially means that our level designers don't place all the objects in a level, but create a basic layout where they place slots for elements of a specific type, which can have slots of their own. For example, a very simple level chunk could have a fixed platform layout with a "spawner" slot on one end and a "hazard" slot in the middle. The designers would determine which categories are allowed to exist in these slots. In this example, a slag pit or a broken goop pipe would be flagged as allowed, while a bomb conveyor belt would not. The spawner could be limited to goblins, or enemies of a specific difficulty rating, or whatever they deem appropriate. Whenever you start a new game, the system assembles the levels out of the templates according to rules defined by us to ensure that you only get meaningful combinations. As player characters, environment and enemies are designed to interact with each other in a variety of ways, each semi-random combination would create its own unique context. For example, the hypothetical broken goop pipe mentioned above would normallly slow down all ground-bound player characters and enemies, but be set ablaze by a player who happens to wield a flamethrower, or by a rocket goblin's ignition, should one spawn. Whether setting the goop on fire is a good idea or not depends on where you and your enemies are, what enemies you are facing, what you are doing, and what other helpers and hazards are in the vicinity. Please note that while we are excited about the theoretical possibilities of the layered template system, it is still queued for testing and has to prove itself in a prototype before being included in the game's full design. Nifty… ME: If the game ends up a success, what other platforms are you hoping to port the game to? BLACK FOREST: Generally we are open for everything. Obviously Playstation, Xbox and WiiU are something to be be considered, as we have our tech ready for those platforms. ME: What excites you the most about this project? BLACK FOREST: To be part of the project from the very beginning and to be able to try out something new! What are you most excited for?…"to try out something new" I personally think that the combination of old-school shoot em up gameplay and the dark, grimy, fantasy setting (termed "Garage Fantasy" by the developers) makes this one of the more unique concepts in the tangled web of the Kickstarter universe. Be sure to check it out and lend your support. For more on the game check out the Black Forest Games Website. Todd Black Nice job Kyle!

Meadowlands: Escape The News and Quick Deal score stakes wins
Racing at the Meadowlands can seem like Groundhog's Day when you consider the frequency which trainer Ron Burke and driver Yannick Gingras visit the winner's circle. On Saturday the dynamic duo swept the featured stakes with Escape The News and Quick Deal.
The $57,000 Aquarius for 4-year-olds led off the stakes action and Escape The News got the first call with Gingras gunning the gelding to the top in the blink of an eye. From that point the pair posted fractions of 27, 55, 1:22 3/5 and waited for the favored Warrawee Needy to make his move out of the pocket.
[DRF HARNESS: Sign Up for the FREE DRF Harness Newsletter Today!]
The moment of truth came at the head of the lane. Mark MacDonald angled Warrawee Needy to the rim but could not make a dent in the lead of the game Escape The News in the 1:49 3/5 mile.
Gingras wasn't surprised with the way the race played out on the track.
"I thought Mark (MacDonald) would keep him (Warrawee Needy) quiet because he was so wound up last week," said Gingras. "I got off the gate on the right foot and made it there. I knew he would be tough on the front end"
It was the fifth victory in seven starts this year for Escape The News, who is co-owned and trained by Burke along with Weaver Bruscemi, JJK Stables and Howard Taylor.
Gingras and Burke completed the natural stakes double in the $50,000 Horse & Groom Final.
This time Gingras elected to sit in the pocket behind Modern Family and bide his time. Through fractions of 26 4/5 and 55 1/5, Modern Family was in charge. But when Harbor Point moved uncovered at the five-eighths call, Gingras quickly popped the pocket with Quick Deal and exploded to command past three quarters in 1:24 2/5.
Modern Family packed it in and Quick Deal held Harbor Point at bay to score in 1:52 4/5.
Owned by Our Horse Cents Stable and Rossie Smith, Quick Deal scored for the fourth time this year and increased his 2013 earnings to $60,940.
After back-to-back sub-1:53 miles, Burke thinks that Quick Deal can go with the best in the older trotting class.
"It looks like it," said Burke about Quick Deal being a top trotter. "They don't go that much more than this (1:52 4/5); maybe 1:51."

I bought a Lemon!
View Single Post
Posts: n/a
So I think that I bought a lemon of a mac. (iBook, G4.)
Ever since I bought it, I have had the 'black screen of death' at least once a week and having owned PCs before so didnt think it was a big deal - but expected a bit more from macs, so tried to take it back. I was told that I should update all the software, and was sent on my way. I dealt with this for a 8 more months or so and the day after my warranty expired, my hard drive died which I replaced myself as apple wanted $400 to do so. Things got better - for a couple of months, and now I can not start it without the black screen (please restart your computer) appearing. The hardware diagnostics CD says that there is a problem with the Memory (RAM, I figure) and I received a message like MEM2:104.1 DIMM and either J1 or BUILT IN. Forgive the lack of specificity, as now I can not even get the Hardware CD to run a diagnostic. I have tried booting with different ram, with no ram (i.e. only the built in ram of 128MB) and have no luck. Anyone know what to do? How much it would cost? Anyone heard of a mac being so crappy in such a short time? (I am in FL, and Applecare is not offered down here...jeez, maybe the heat and the humidity scares apple although I am very kind to my beloved puter.)
Thanks for any help,
Sticky D

Sarah Stacey nets five as Plymouth Argyle Ladies beat Gloucester City
Posted: February 19, 2013|
SOUTH WEST COMBINATION LEAGUE Gloucester City...1 Plymouth Argyle...6
PLYMOUTH Argyle Ladies ran out easy winners on their return to league action at Gloucester City.
The Pilgrims dominated the match from start to finish. They took the lead on 11 minutes when Nicky Lake slid a fine pass for Sarah Stacey to run onto and delicately dink the ball over the keeper.
She followed up three minutes later, shooting between the keeper's legs.
Argyle went three up when Alex Hugh put over a fine diagonal ball into the box for Ellie Dorey to touch into the net.
The Greens were slow to start in the second half and allowed Gloucester to run through almost unchallenged to lob keeper Katie Middleton.
But Argyle got back on track in the 63rd minute when Stacey completed her first senior hat-trick, running through to beat the keeper easily.
Two more goals from Stacey in the 80th and 90th minutes. rounded of a brilliant afternoon for her and ensured Argyle remained in fourth spot, hot on the heels of the teams above them.
SOUTH WEST LEAGUE WESTERN DIVISION MAP Ladies...10 Torpoint Ladies...1
MARINE Academy continued their push for promotion to the South West Premier Division by hitting double figures against Torpoint.
The win leaves MAP second in the table just four points behind leaders Bay, but with two games in hand.
However, third-placed Truro City are likely to be the team to watch. They have yet to lose this season and have three games in hand on MAP and five on Bay.
MAP totally outplayed Torpoint in blustery conditions.
The match was over as a contest as early as the 15th minute as MAP scored three times through top scorer Kate Nicholls (2) and new signing Danni Moody, who enjoyed a promising debut.
With MAP putting the Cornish visitors under pressure they eventually scored their fourth on the stroke of half-time.
In the second period they added further goals through captain Grace O'Leary and Nicholls.
The latter went on to score a personal total of seven goals to hit the 19 mark for the season.
MAP's final goal was from defender Louise Chaves, who beat three players on a run from her own half before planting a shot into the top corner to round off the scoring to record her first goal of the season.
Manager Dave Byrne: "After a long lay off from league action it was pleasing to get another three points on the board to maintain our title challenge.
"The team in particular in the second half got the ball down and played some decent football."
UNIVERSITY of Plymouth eased through to the semi-finals of the Devon League Cup with a 14-0 win over Plainmoor Ladies.
In the Premier Division, Activate collected all three points from a high scoring match at home to Feniton.
Ruby Lester notched twice, with Wendy and Amy Wise, Jodie Martin and Chelsea Semmings getting the others for Activate.

Disease suppression was implemented on the Forestier Peninsula in 2004 as a pilot study involving two ten-day trips per year. In 2006 it was increased to four trips per year, with scientific officers removing diseased Tasmanian devils from the geographically isolated Forestier-Tasman Peninsula in an attempt to contain the impact of DFTD. The Tasman Peninsula was chosen because its physical geography minimises the entry and exit of animals, offering an opportunity to create a disease-free region.
Results, as at December 2009, suggested that this work had not led to the local eradication of the disease.
The Save the Tasmanian Devil Program continued to invest in providing a field presence and in improving the effectiveness of trapping techniques in the disease suppression project on the Forestier Peninsula. A detailed review of disease suppression was completed in November 2010.
The aim of the review was to evaluate the outcomes of disease suppression on the peninsula against the original scientific and conservation targets of the project. The review also considered future management options, relevant decision-making benchmarks, stopping points and the benefits of different management strategies in the context of the Program's conservation objectives.

Below is the poem entitled Know which was written by poet
Lim. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jit Lim
"I was inspired to write KNOW one evening when I was having dinner in my flat (alone of course) when I saw a phrase with an enlarged letter "KNOW" flashed on TV.
Look around I hope you will see
Wherever, whoever you may be
Give and forgive and stop the blame
Don't you KNOW we are all the same?
Here, there and everywhere
Untimely death everyday
Sadness and sorrow we create
Don't you KNOW premature fate?
Time and time again
Greed makes us stake claims
Resist and detest come what may
Don't you KNOW that's what HE says?
Myth and mystery of the Almighty
Spawned countless deities
Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem or Christian
Don't you KNOW it's alright to question?
Day and night so predictable
The long road uncharitable
Where's the stop or destiny?
Don't you KNOW that's a mystery?
Material world so adore
Never enough but more and more
Material world immaterial
Don't you KNOW it's superficial?
Gather around and say the prayers
Are you there we can't wait forever
Patient my child says the priest
Don't you KNOW you will be in the list?
What's the difference to live or die?
The living pretends, dead don't lie
Be true to yourself and all the rest
Don't you KNOW that's Divine's test
Cultures, civilizations in tatter
Will this world get better?
Talks and negotiations supposedly civil
Don't you KNOW we are the devils?
Children full of hope and promise
Time passes but none can insist
Future's bleak, time unforgiving
Don't you KNOW the pain of living?
Truth be told once and for all
Is there GOD to salvage our soul?
Show yourself and show us how
GOD, don't you KNOW the time is now
Look around I hope you will find
Salvaged souls and remnants of time
In the scripture nothing is masked
If you don't KNOW you are an ass

USA Today
U.S. health officials predict that by 2020, the entire nation could be covered by smoking bans in workplaces, bars and restaurants.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that's a possibility, if state and local bans continue to be enacted at the rate they have been. A CDC report released Thursday said the number of states with comprehensive indoor smoking bans went from zero in 2000 to 26 in 2010... Read More

When we listed with Karen, we were very impressed with her expertise in the market value of the homes in our area. She also kept in close contact with us to keep us abreast of what was happening with our home, since we were gone from the area at the time. We sold our home at the listed price, including our furniture, which we now did not have to move. We were living in another home 250 miles away. We would highly recommend Karen as a Real Estate Professional who really takes personal care of her clients. Jim & Mary Hansen

Ratings & Reviews
We contacted Karen in Feb 2007 to help us find a building lot. We had no intentions of buying an existing house but she suggested looking at a few houses anyway as the economy at the time was starting to favour buying existing over building new. We are so glad she did since the third house she showed us we loved so much, we bought it and are still enjoying it. Being Canadians and unfamiliar with buying real estate in the US market and particularly in Arizona, we were fortunate to have an agent like Karen to guide us through the process of buying a foreclosure, choosing house inspection and Trust companies and dealing with unfamiliar issues such as termite inspections etc. She managed the whole transaction to a successful conclusion even though we were 1700 miles away in a different country. The situation required exceptional communication skills and she more than met the challenge. We have no hesitation in recommending Karen as very competent and skilled real estate agent.
In Spring of 2008 we were directed to Karen Hallett since we were in the market for a new home. It took about a couple months to find "the" home we were looking for, but it was worth the wait. Karen handled everything, leaving us with no worries. If we were ever in the market for another home, and were in the same area, we would surely look to Karen for her expertise. Thank you Irene M.
