JAY–The Green Mountain Rock Crushers held their first player try-out camp this past weekend at the Ice House at Jay Peak. Twenty-two players made the trip to northeastern Vermont to try to win a roster spot, and while not all of them were offered an invitation to the come back, they enjoyed their experience.
"It's absolutely beautiful up here, it's so scenic," said Jonathan Reynolds, a twenty-four year old goaltender from Toronto.
GM and Governor Andy Makal was pleased with the camp and the level of play the athletes brought with them.
"The Rock Crushers are pretty happy with the turnout despite the low numbers. We had some high quality players out there. The players came to play and they represented themselves well."
Out of the twenty-two players at the camp, six players were offered an invitation to return to the team; Skaters David Lynne, Brad Ritter, Justin Elmore, Jason O'Bannon, Chad Bryan, and Waterbury, Vermont native goaltender Chris Fraiser, who last played with Green Mountain Glades.
They join Ryan Hugget and player/assistant coach Kyle Gletow, who have already earned a spot with the team.

Question: Will my currently minor-aged children ever receive Social Security?
Answer: The three pillars supporting retirement traditionally are pension, Social Security and other savings. These days, most companies can't afford to guarantee pensions (defined benefit plans). But now, your children may not be able to count on Social Security either when they retire.

K3 Nickel-Titanium Files
K3 Files: Engineered For Efficiency
1. Positive Rake Angle An instrument's cutting efficiency is dependant upon the
overall rake angle of the instrument's cutting blades.
Rake angles are determined by drawing a centerline parallel to
the center of the file and determining the angle relative to
the centerline. It can also be measured relative the circumference
as indicated by the green lines on the examples below.
The Profile and most other conventional instruments utilize negative rake angles, which result in a scraping rather than a cutting action. As dentin is dense and somewhat resilient, cutting or chip dislodgment with negative rake angles is difficult and very inefficient.

Dr. John Hoff's Ratings
Dr. John D. Hoff is such an incredible doctor...but more than that, he is an awesome person with never ending patience and a warm smile and bedside manner. He has been my doctor for 18 years and I see him for everything! He understands the "whole" me and that's what he treats. He is very popular and that is why he has long waits...but he is worth the wait and the long commute I now have to drive to see him! He never seems rushed even if he is and he won't give up on you. You will not be sorry if you choose him as your doctor.

Just moved to the area while pregnant. He took over at 16 weeks gestation... couldn't have found a better doctor. This is my second pregnancy and I find Dr. Hoff to be patient, friendly, and have an excellent bedside manner. I have no fears about delivery with Dr. Hoff on my side.

John David Hoff and his brother are both OBs in the same building, not sure if it's the same practice. Sine John joined PAMF, I'm sure the service went downhill. Front office staff are immature, gossipy and rude to patients. I waited well over an hour to see the nurse and Dr. Hoff for my first appointment for my first pregnancy, ever. The nurse had me in tears in minutes, telling me horror stories of being permanently disfigured and losing my ballerina body after having a child. They want you to meet the nurse who does a physical (not the MD?????) in one room, then scamper down the hall in your gown to do an u/s with the MD?! No thanks. We had all of 10 minutes with the MD due to the office lateness, with zero apology from anyone there. He conducts his interviews/ questions in the exam room, which has ONE chair for patient, spouse, and MD, so guess who sits (patient) and feels like a schoolchild. Oh, of course you can be nude in stirrups while getting your questions answered....

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
A former USU Eastern men's basketball coach resigned from his job at a junior college in Texas in situation that many following it have called bizarre.
Chris Craig, a former USU Eastern Golden Eagle basketball coach from 2007-2010, resigned from his job at Midland College in Midland, Texas on March 21. His resignation came amid Craig citing end-of-the-world prophecies and conspiracy theories on his personal blog and twitter account.
Attempts to contact Craig on Wednesday morning were unsuccessful.
Craig's blog contained 31 hand written pages dated March 20 that talked about biblical verses, the possible coming of a New World Order, a possible assassination attempt on President Barack Obama while on a visit to Israel last week and much more.
Posting on his twitter account, Craig said he traveled to Jerusalem on March 21 and that the end of the world was coming on March 22.
According to sources close to the situation, the FBI and Secret Service contacted Craig's family about the blog and twitter posts. Craig allegedly was arrested in Israel shortly after arriving in the country. Postings on his twitter account went silent for five days before he wrote in multiple tweets on March 26 that he "currently am scared for my family and our lives. Secret Service, FBI, has been in contact with many on my behalf....I am not a threat in anyway."
Those in the coaching community who knew Craig thought he was on a good path as he moved from USU Eastern in April 2010 to the University of Northern Colorado as an assistant coach for a year before taking the head coaching position at Midland College in 2011.
Craig helped guide the Golden Eagles to the 2010 NJCAA National Tournament where the team finished in third place, their best finish in over 50 years. At Northern Colorado, he served as an assistant to head coach B.J. Hill and was a part of the team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament in his only season on the bench. During his two seasons as coach at Midland, Craig's teams went 37-18 but missed advancing to the playoffs in both seasons as his teams dealt with injuries and inconsistent play.
Craig played collegiately at Arizona Western College before transferring to the University of Texas-El Paso to play under then head coach Billy Gillespie in 2002.
Since returning to the country, Craig tweeted early on March 27 that he was leaving Utah to return back to Midland, Texas.

|Scattered rain showers not enough to stifle Linville wildfires
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 15 June 2007 18:05
Scattered rain showers did little to squelch two fires in Burke County.By yesterday evening, the fires had burned nearly 1,500 acres. The Dobson Knob fire even jumped its containment lines yesterday. Though firefighters were able to reestablish control, water drops continued to keep the blaze subdued.
Burnout operations were employed to tackle the Shortoff Mountain fire. 332 fire fighters, 4 helicopters, 8 engines, one dozer and one fixed wing support aircraft are attacking the wildfires.Firefighters still have hope that heavy rainfall will reach the area soon. The Linville Gorge Wilderness is closed until further notice.

Rough Experience
By Rob
from Vancouver, Wa
Thie first time I ordered from Steve's and I was happy with product and service. I ordered a second time and had a very different experience. I placed my order over the phone and was very clear that my order was for a bay window. The representative input my measurements as we gave them to her. The large window came correctly but the two side windows measurements had been input incorrectly by the representative. She transposed the measurements. The width and height were opposite. When I called to find out what to do, the representative said they did have partial responsibility and in the end I had to pay additional monies to right this wrong. I of course had to reorder as it was a bay window and would be incomplete without the side panels. The incorrect measurements input by the Steve's representative should of raised a red flag considering they are the professionals. I understand mistakes happen but was unhappy how this was resolved. I dio not feel that I should pay extra monies due to the incorrect inputting of measurements by the representative.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great quality, affordable price
By Lara

We love how these blinds have transformed our sunroom. We moved into this house and needed somethhing to cover 7 windows in one room. I am happy with the quality and look of these price and they were much more affordable than a lot of other places I searched. The only thing that I didn't like was that the cordless option was not available in this style and color.
Perfect Fit

Great Buy!
By Dave
from Peoria, IL
Purchased these for my bedroom! Honestly, was a bit skeptical given the price and almost went with one of the major brands instead. In the interest of saving, I decided to try Steve's brand. Thrilled. Just as good as the major brands at a better price.
My Blinds are GORGEOUS!
By Gena
from Hamilton, OH
I ordered two separate blinds on one head rail. I also ordered left control of wand and lift for left blind and right control of wand and lift on the right. The blinds arrived in perfect condition and exactly what I ordered. I had not decided if I would use a fabric valance or use a matching faux wood valance that I ordered witht he blinds. Once it was installed there was no decision to make. These blinds are so beautiful with the matching wood valance that I don't want to cover them with fabric. I'm very satisfied. In fact, I have recommended my friends and one has already ordered.
i will definately purchase from steve's

i was a little skeptical ordering blinds for our new home from the website. i am so thrilledthat i did. we have some very large windows and with the expert help from the representative at steves, our blinds are perfect . i ordered the faux wood with tape. they look very much like shutters but at a much lower cost. my husband was very impressed how easy they were to install. we have had many compliments from family and friends. i have ordered 10 blinds in total thus far and will definately order blinds for the remaining windows from steves. good quality , great service, quick delivery and excellent price.
Great service and product
By Cher
I was dead set on having faux wood horizontal blinds for my 7 foot wide picture window, and could not find them anywhere in stores. I was a little leary about ordering blinds online, but I will never again purchase from anywhere else. I was pleasantly surprised when I received my order. They were perfectly cut to fit in my window, easy to install, and I didn't have to go through the hassle of shortening them to fit my window height as I would have had I purchased them in person at a store. They were less expensive than any blinds you can purchase at the store, not to mention any special order blinds, and in my opinion have a more attractive cornice-piece than I've found elsewhere. I love them so much, I've told everyone I know!

Love the window blinds with the privacy feature, however the cord does not always line-up with this option, making the blinds appear uneven--Can be quickly adjusted. Love the pricing and general durability! Blocks Arizona UV Sunlight which increases energy efficiency. Would recommend and purchase again in the future.
Faux wood blinds Work great!!
By Vicious86
from Conneaut, OH
Great blinds for a great price! Will buy from again.
Love these!
By Luv2Decorate
from Michigan
I love these blinds so much that, after ordering 1 for my master bedroom, I ordered them for the entire main floor of my home. For the first time ever, I have 2" blinds that totally close and block out the light as well as the cold - it's been subzero here for the past week. I am confident that they will block out the heat in summer. While I purchased these blinds as a decorative element I was pleasantly surprised by their energy efficiency. Note...I chose an inside mount for all the blinds which also adds to the efficiency as well as the route-less feature.
Excellent Quality, Price, and Delivery T

Blinds are excellent
easy to use
By Grandma from the country
from Chapel Hill, TN
I ordered blinds for the door windows and am very pleased with these. They are a bit tricky to measure for, (or maybe I should have read the instructions before ordering!) but they are really nice to install and look so pretty. Excellent for privacy and temperature control.
Very happy
By Mo

I like the look of these. Cords work well. Blocks light better than I expected.
a wonderful experience
By The modern grandma!
The blinds are exactly as expected and look great! It is so nice to have a website that can do blinds like you need them to be. Perfect fit for windows and great style.

I bought this product for all my windows
By Shawn
from Moreno Valley, Ca
It's well constructed. Only problem I have albeit I bought for my other windows, is the wand touches the top valance when turning it.
Great product
By Melissa
from Indianapolis, IN
Very happy with the product from order to delivery to installation.
Good product
Had trouble with one of the blinds, Steve's replaced it with no problems, they were great to work with.
I would buy product again.
By Shirl
from Athens GA
Love the product. They are window blinds. Excellent quality for faux wood blinds.
the wand is the problem
Its beautiful, well constructed. The only con is the wand when tilting the blinds, it hits or touches the valance causing the valance to shake a little.
great product, price and prompt delivery
By drumzilla
from southaven, ms
The blinds for our new house were exactly what we were looking for and the price left room for buying other things we needed around the house. Very beautiful and look just as good as the ones bought at the stores for 2 and 3 times as much!
Great Value and Great Looking
By Kathy
from Akron, OH
The blinds arrived promptly and were well packaged. The fit was very tight, although I thought I'd measured correctly, I did have to use a metal drill bit to carve out a bit from the header-ends since they were too tight to allow space to go over the heads of the screws, but it all worked out beautifully. I was very impressed with the quality, AND with the ability to specify so many 'custom' options. I thought I'd just get a wide wood blind to go over a double window but opted for the split blind instead and now have more flexibility as to how I want to set my privacy. Great option - thank you!

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has tapped White House homeland security adviser John Brennan as his nominee to lead the Central Intelligence Agency.
Obama on Monday appeared with Brennan in the East Room of the White House to name him as his pick to succeed former CIA chief David Petraeus, who resigned in November after admitting to an affair with his biographer.
Brennan is a 25-year veteran of the CIA and among Obama's closest advisers. Obama called him a friend.
The president praised Brennan as one of the most skilled and respected intelligence professionals. Obama says Brennan and former Sen. Chuck Hagel, whom the president nominated to lead the Pentagon at the same event, understand that "the work of protecting our nation is never done."
Brennan's post requires Senate confirmation.
President Barack Obama says Chuck Hagel, his choice as the new secretary of defense, is "the leader that our troops deserve."
Obama formally announced his choice of Hagel in the White House East Room on Monday even as critics questioned the pick over issues including Hagel's views on Israel and Iran.
Facing a potentially tough fight to get Hagel confirmed by the Senate, Obama praised the former Nebraska senator's independence and bipartisan approach, and said that Hagel, a Vietnam veteran, understands war is not an abstraction.
Hagel, a moderate Republican, has the support of some of his former Senate colleagues but is drawing opposition from others who accuse him of being soft on Iran and insufficiently supportive of Israel.

KGUN9 viewer sentiment on Celis missing child case evolves, turns more harsh
6 year old Isabel Celis, missing for 13 days
Notes by: Forrest Carr, KGUN9 News Director
The moment the news broke two weeks ago that 6 year old Isabel Celis had disappeared from her Tucson home, KGUN9 viewers began chiming in with heartfelt concern for the child and her family, and prayers for Isabel's swift return. But now the tone of viewer feedback has begun to evolve. Concern for the child has not changed. But more and more viewers are saying that they want more from Isabel's parents.
A few days ago questions began to surface about why Sergio and Rebecca Celis haven't been more vocal about the plight of their child, and haven't been out front leading search efforts every day. Police investigators said they've been urging the family to adopt a higher public profile. After Ed Smart, the father of well known child kidnapping victim Elizabeth Smart, told KGUN9 News that parents in such cases need to be vocal and visible every day, some KGUN9 viewers weighed in with similar concerns. But at the same time others ardently defended the parents and blasted those who would dare to criticize.
Here is a sample of that KGUN9 Facebook page message thread, from this past Tuesday:
Viki Cleveland Watson -- "Maybe they are so distraught they can't speak."
Armando Muñoz -- "That may be true.... But since the leads are drying up and TPD may cut the daily press conferences the only way to keep Isabel in the media is for them to speak up. It may be hard but it's something they need to do for Isabel."
Max Imus Whatts -- "Maybe the media should just relax. If the family wants to speak, they will speak. Give it a rest already. They have enough on their plate than to be judged whether or not they speak to your cameras."
Deborah Ingram -- "So hard to think of what they are going through right now. My prayers are with them."
Lisa Tempe Estes -- "Does the public REALLY want to hear from the parents, or is it a sick thing that people want to see people in pain? WHAT CAN THEY SAY???? 'PLEASE RETURN OUR DAUGHTER?' ummmm HELLO. That should go without saying. Do you want to see them fall apart on TV?? We don't need to put them up on the news for all to see and think, 'Aw those poor parents.' MY GOD what is wrong with people? These two parents are going through the WORST nightmare of any parent's life. LET THEM BE."
That was two days ago.
On Thursday -- the 13th day of the search for Isabel -- Sergio and Rebecca finally gave their first interview, choosing the NBC Today Show as the forum for an exclusive report and a question and answer session broadcast live to the nation. They offered mild criticism of the way the Tucson Police Department has handled the case, thanked all of those in the community who have been praying for their child and who have been volunteering their efforts, and asked for continued prayers and vigilance.
After seeing that interview, the tone of viewer feedback to KGUN9's Facebook page changed dramatically, with critics now outnumbering defenders by a wide margin.
Here is a sample of Thursday morning's feedback.
Patty Lopez -- "SPEAK!!!! THIS IS YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR BLOOD!!!!! YOUR LIFE!!!!! ... MY PRAYERS ARE STILL WITH ISABEL AND HER FAMILY."
Doris Wood -- "'So,they won't talk to local media anymore, but they can talk to the Today Show? .... No comment!"
Jenna Jones: "If my child was missing, I'd be heartbroken, but I would be speaking to every media outlet, every person trying to get it out there that she is missing. I wouldn't be passive about this unless I was guilty.... SPEAK UP!!! THIS IS YOUR BABY GIRL!!!!! BE MORE PROACTIVE!!!!!"
Lola Bee: "A PARENT WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT THEIR CHILD WILL BE OUT THERE LOOKING DAY AND NIGHT NOT CARING ABOUT NOTHING ELSE BESIDES FINDING HER. THE COMMUNITY HAS DONE MORE TO HELP FIND ISABEL THAN HER OWN PARENTS. ANY TRUE PARENT WOULD BE OUT IN THE MEDIA IN THE INTERNET EVERYTHING BUT INSTEAD THE COMMUNITY IS DOING IT."
Some viewers clearly are struggling to sort out conflicting feelings. They know that this ordeal has to be tough on Sergio and Rebecca in a way no one can truly understand who isn't walking in their shoes, yet they still feel that something is not right here.
Lea Castillo is one of those. "I feel bad because it's easy for me to judge since I'm not at the other end of this picture. And I do hate the fact that in my own heart I AM scrutinizing the parents. I understand that people grieve differently. But if I had to guess -- and God, never let it happen -- if it was me and my husband, for myself, I know I'd have many sleepless nights.... I couldn't see myself functioning in any manner to comb my hair, put on my makeup.... I know they have other kids. But I just want to know why my heart keeps telling me that I NEED to see MORE emotion from the parents?? What is sooo hard about saying the DIRECT words, 'We DO NOT have anything to do with Isa's disappearance? WE would NEVER bring harm to our children.'"
Other viewers have been much more direct, sometimes to the point of being harsh.
Marie McGrath: "Hold me back somebody. They give the first public statement then go into hiding letting the police and all of us good hearted people look for their child? Then criticize TPD? Has anyone seen them out looking for Isa? No."
Christina Montano: "I agree with Marie. Really, why are they not out there looking for her? Why are they hiding? I have 4 kids and I tell you if anything -- God forbid -- happened to my kids, I would not sleep till I found them and brought them home. You would see my face everywhere doing everything in my power."
But some viewers are still willing chalk up the complaints to self-serving media outlets whining about suffering a competitive disadvantage because the Celis family chose to give a single exclusive interview to a national news outlet, rather than cooperate with all the local Tucson media who have been covering the case and working to get the word out about Isabel.
Patricia O'Brien -- "Well they gave the much called-for interview. I'm sure the local outlets are upset over losing an exclusive. Perhaps you should review some of your reporting to see why."
Viewer Gloria R. Valenzuela offers this reminder of what's really important here. "A child is missing and that should be the utmost important thing on everyone's mind, not to criticize. Put yourselves in their shoes. Let us pray that little Isa is still alive and continue to look for her and pray for her and her family and the police as well."
After the initial version of this story went live on KGUN9.com Thursday afternoon, the viewer commentary continued, and evolved again. By late Thursday afternoon additional viewers were defending the family and chiding those who've offered criticism. Jennifer Thorp's comment is typical of this latest line of thought: "It is sad how people can sit there and say the parents should do this or do that when they have NOOOOO clue what these parents are actually going through. And I to pray they never endure what the Celis parents are going through!"

Re: What is the rotc program and the smp program?
SMP Program (ROTC)
Reserve Officers' Training Corps is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as an officer. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, you will earn the rank of second lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard and become a leader for life.
Basic requirements
Must be a U.S. Citizen
Must not reach 31 years of age the year you will graduate from college (scholarship only)
Have a minimum High school GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale
Score a minimum of 920 on the SAT and 19 on the ACT
Satisfactorily explain any record of arrest and/or civil conviction
Complete ROTC Basic Course requirements or Basic Training
Must be medically qualified
*If you do not meet all of the above requirements contact us and we can inform you of what other options may be available to you to put you back on the officer path.
Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) Explanation
{ROTC Cadets can participate in this program once contracted-the summer after their freshman year. If someone wants to take advantage of these benefits and even more, they can join the NG/Reserves before/during their freshman year – inquire about "split option"}
Basic Training and/or AIT is not required but many Cadets attend one or both schools before becoming an SMP
Monthly drill pay = roughly $255 per weekend drill/Annual Training = $4,756 per yr
ROTC Stipend = $350 a month during school for MS II's, $450 – MS III, and $500 – MS IV
$4,500 a yr Federal Tuition Assistance (TA) to pay for college plus the NC National Guard (NG) allows you to submit your request on-line the day you swear in to the NG. NC provides In-state tuition rates the day you sign up (waiver must be given to school before classes begin). Must apply for Fed TA before applying for State TA
NC NG provides an additional $5,396 a year of State TA ($6,692 for graduate) in addition to Federal TA. If this is still not enough to pay all of your tuition and you want to stay in the Reserve/NG after graduation, you can get a full tuition/books ROTC GRFD or ROTC Dedicated (Ded) NG scholarship! You can also switch states during your career.
Years as an SMP count towards active duty pay and Reserve/NG retirement years and pay years– this is a huge benefit. Example-if you serve three years as an SMP and decide to go on active duty, you will make way more money than someone who took an ROTC scholarship while in school because you have prior service time accrued. Example- if you choose GRFD (Guaranteed Reserve/NG Forces Duty = those desiring to stay in the NG after graduation for example) while in college, you will make roughly $659 a weekend and $7,912 a year after college starting out (in addition to your civilian career pay/benefits/life) and retire earlier due to ROTC years counting
$10,000 bonus (most branches, previous bonus awardees may not be eligible, only for non-scholarship Cadets).
2 yr GRFD ROTC scholarships (USAR or NG). 3, 2, 1 year Dedicated NG ROTC scholarships (plentiful) achieve the same goal/amount of benefits. Both give you $600 a semester for books and your choice of paid tuition or room/board (on or off campus). 99% of students use the scholarship toward room/board because tuition can be paid by TA = full ride basically! GRFD does not guarantee NG – only a Ded-NG scholarship can do that! Any Cadet who desires active duty but thinks he or she may not get it, should take a Ded-NG scholarship or stand a chance of not being accepted into the NG – GRFD and GRFD scholarships do not guarantee NG duty.
Up to $50,000 in student loan repayment if the loans were before you joined the NG
The NG allows (good PT score, PMS approval) SMPs slots for Air Assault school – GRFD/Ded NG or not
In the NCARNG, you can lock in your branch (99% of the time) of choice during your MS III year – you choose and get it
NC is one of the few states that has Special Forces and a Infantry Bde = opportunity for Airborne/Air Assault/Ranger…
Basic ROTC scholarships can be exchanged for ROTC GRFD/Ded NG scholarships at anytime and Scholarship Cadets often drop their scholarships for SMP as well, due to added benefits before going active
Lifetime GI Bill kicker (if you attend AIT you get a $3,090 per year GI BILL) and $3,500 kicker for GRFD Cadets – Form 4365 (can't be getting any other kickers and must have 6 years left on enlistment or extend) must be faxed to the NC NG Education Office (NC GI Bill and kicker questions 919-664-6935 or 6215)
Get a guaranteed interview with small and Fortune 500 Companies with the ROTC PaYS program for GRFD/DED NG.
Get a preferential interview with NC companies in our new NCARNG Officer Employment Program!
If you attend basic training and or AIT, there are simple ways to ensure you do not get mobilized while in college – complete one semester of ROTC or do the "split option". SMP's and Cadets who have completed one semester of ROTC are non-deployable.
NG Cadets can get $2,000 (+) for getting someone else to join (see below) the NG (SMP = must be GRFD).
SMPs have more opportunities and choices while in college, experience real unit training and have fun doing it
SMPs also get more points, 15 or more, on their OML if applying for active duty during their MSIV year vs. someone who took a scholarship (not as good as SMP as you may be starting to understand for numerous reasons) instead
GI Bill-1606/7 are eligible with GRFD Scholarships –only the Active GI Bill (Ch 30) with the Ded NG
Reserve/NG Officers can add additional Branches (I have 3) during their career, apply for AGR jobs, switch states when needed (I have served in 6; all by my choice), have more flexibility, assist with state missions,…
Health /dental benefits for $47.51 a month/$180.17 for family – https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/trs/index.jsp
Long term benefits of SMP
SMP's start out their careers making 02 over 3 years for pay and may actually make 02 over 4 years for pay if they join when freshman. Bottom line is that the SMP will add $50,000+ to their income during a 20 year career if going active for example and they will not retire with just 50% of their high 3 years for pay. Their pay will be 50% plus = 2.5 % multiplied by the number of years they served. A NC PMS said I should note he will be at 5 x 2.5=12.5% + 50%=62.5% for the rest of his natural life/retirement – that is a $12,000 gain per year! So, SMP provides hundreds of thousands more for retirement vs. taking a scholarship. If an SMP is GRFD, his pay and retirement will also be significantly more obviously.
Incentives/programs can change due to legislation/funding

It has been a season of tough breaks for the Lady Eagles. They lost several key players before the season ever started to injury and illness. The found a little more of that bad luck as they lost 50-47 to Colorado Northwestern Community College two weeks ago. But this weekend they stepped it up and played tough against Salt Lake Community College even though they lost 75-66. But then they carried the momentum they had into the game with Snow College on Saturday and beat the Badgers 73-62 for the first time this season.
The Lady Eagles have take both previous games against the Spartans, and it looked like they would get the sweep. Priscila Santos was having a superb game until she turned her ankle and was unable to contribute. The game still only came down to three points, but the loss was crushing.
Santos finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds. She was helped out by Bruna Deichmann with 12 points.
Coach Dave Paur really put his team through their paces in the following weeks practice and they came out strong against the top ranked Bruins. After falling behind in the first, the eagles pulled back within six at the break. In the second half, they came out and continued to make runs at the lead. A few missed shots were the difference in the outcome of the game as the EU defense kept the Lady Bruins from running away with the game.
Santos had another big offensive effort with 28 points and Deichmann added 15.
With the season running out, EU put it all on the table against Snow. One of the problems the Lady Eagles have had in a few games was the inability to finish the game off. On Saturday they made sure they finished and walked off the court with the win.
Santos posted yet another double-double with 23 points and 10 boards. Deichmann finished with 18 points to help carry the team to victory.
EU ends their regular season on the road at Southern Idaho on Thursday and Northern Idaho on Friday

Issue 4.12 | Dec 1996
Why is John Gage, a bearded old Berkeley troublemaker, carrying the corporate flag for the Pentagon's favorite computer maker?
By Spencer Reiss
Archive Category:
Gage has been talking nonstop since I arrived in his Berkeley kitchen two hours earlier. Almost never with me. A whizzy Motorola cell phone is his office (in a good month, he manages just a few scattered hours at his desk at Sun's headquarters in Mountain View), and it rarely stops ringing. As we pull out of his driveway, someone from Sun's Mideast sales office calls. Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is in Washington, DC. Can the White House nudge Mubarak to back an Egyptian version of NetDay, a pet project Gage is pushing to wire the world's schools? Thirty seconds later, Gage has Al Gore's office on the line.
The phone rings again. It's Gage's secretary - his "admin," in Sun speak - relaying a message. Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad wants another meeting of his special advisory group on building a best-in-the-world national information infrastructure. Next week. Gage tells the admin to book the ticket: round-trip San Francisco to Kuala Lumpur, one night in a hotel, then straight back.
I've spent enough time trailing Gage to know this performance is not simply for my benefit. This is how one of the marquee names on the high tech rubber-chicken circuit operates. For a 1992 company meeting, Sun chief network officer Geoff Baehr built an "electronic leash" - a laptop PC, Global Positioning System locator, and cellular modem - to automatically report Gage's whereabouts every five minutes to a wall map of the US labeled "Where Is John Gage?" No one was surprised when Gage lost the contraption three days later.
A couple of years ago, Sun trademarked the Silicon Valley truism: "The Network Is the Computer." And in a very real sense, John Gage is the network - or at least a web of information, ideas, and influence linking him with just about anyone, and anything, worth knowing in the exploding high tech universe. Like the Net, Gage reflexively connects concepts, people, something he read in an in-flight magazine, a conversation he had with Sun cofounder Bill Joy over beers in Aspen at 3 a.m. He exudes boundless possibility. He can route around problems. And he's one of the best-known assets of what remains the hippest, geekiest big-time company in Silicon Valley.
Again, the phone. This time it's someone from UC Berkeley's world-renowned advanced mathematics research institute. The National Science Foundation, under budget pressure from Congress, will cut funding. This is close to Gage's heart. He's been part of the Berkeley scene since 1960, first as a crew-cut swim jock and math major, later on the front lines of the history-making fights for free speech and against the Vietnam War. After 36 long, strange years, he's still there, in a nice turn-of-the-century house not far from College Avenue. He tells the caller he'll see what he can do.
Finally, there's a moment's quiet, and while Gage fumbles for toll money, I get my shot. Here's a man who blew off college to join the political circus, who made the Nixon White House "enemies" list (there's an old San Francisco Chronicle clip in his upstairs hall), who carried a stone-drunk Janis Joplin through a quarter mile of sticky Florida mud to keep a rock-and-roll benefit concert going, and who baby-sat Hunter Thompson on George McGovern's presidential campaign press bus.
Forget about getting a life - Gage has already had one. So why does a bearded old (well, 54, anyway) Berkeley troublemaker carry the corporate flag for the Pentagon's favorite computer maker at places like the National Security Agency, the Soviet Space and Missile Command, and Los Alamos National Laboratory? To quote networking's favorite phrase: What's the connection?
"Information," Gage answers, matter-of-factly. "What stopped the Vietnam War was that we told the truth about what was happening. Today, the truth-telling mechanisms that we can put in people's hands are a million times more powerful," he says, wending through the ghetto fringe of East Palo Alto. "And when every person on the planet has access to that power - which is what I'm trying to do - then watch what happens."

Election integrity volunteers from 32 states met in Houston, Texas, for True the Vote's 2013 National Summit on April 12 and 13. Speakers this year included chief elections officers from four states, Mexico's director of elections, and numerous experts in all aspects of electoral integrity.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach explained to the crowd that photo ID laws do a considerable amount of good, but he cautioned people against thinking of them as cure-alls. Kobach elaborated, "In some states that have a photo ID law that affects what people do when they come to the polling place, it just pushes organizations that want to commit voter fraud into [the] mail-in route." Kobach added that Kansas also has protections for mail-in ballots, as well as ensuring the voter registration process is legal. In Kansas voters must present proof of citizenship when they register.
Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler was asked about one of the constitutional principles of our Republic whereby each state runs its own elections and writes its own election laws:
It is good that different states can have different systems. They're able to experiment and do things. Kansas has done a lot with respect to photo Identification, proof of citizenship at the time of registration and they've shown great success with it. We can, whether it's Colorado or other states, look at their successes and duplicate those successes.
J. Christian Adams, an attorney specializing in election law and author of Injustice, commented on the recent moves by the Left to make major changes in voting laws. Adams said there was a meeting of many of the major left-wing groups in January of this year, commenting:

By the way I think we visited this subject before but i'm curious if any of you guys have any sort of messenger? I thought it'd be cool if we had a group chat sometime. Maybe we can figure out a way to do it on FB?

I like the idea of chatting together on FB or Skype or something. All we'd have to do is make sure at least one person is friends with all the peeps, and they can send a message to everyone and then everyone can reply. The newer version of FB makes it possible to have a message basically be a chat room if everyone is there, and if we're not there we can still read the conversation. Or just do what Pup says.
Shann, I read the article and although his writing is decent, it seemed like a very childish response and kudos to all the people who stepped up to defend you. Talk about pouty...I know it can really get our goat when we find out we're not the cat's meow, but seriously...quitting because not everyone is praising you? Yikes. We don't need people like that to spoil our party. I appreciate the constructive criticism even more when I don't place because it gives me a clue as to what I can improve on and maybe why I didn't do as well as I thought I should. A lot of times I know when I hit it out of the park, but sometimes I think I did a great job and it's not even on the judges' radar. All those helpful critiques really push me to keep trying.
I hung out with my friend from the L.A. write-in last night. She called me the night before and said she had an epiphany about friendships and that she was rethinking some of her relationships as far as who made an effort to maintain them. She didn't outright say it, but I think she was basically saying that she realized I was a friend to keep because I made an effort to hang out with her even though we have only a few things in common and disagree completely about politics, religion, and various other hot button issues. We have incredible conversations and a real give-and-take relationship...every time we hang out, we stay up all night long and never run out of conversation. She's shared a lot of things with me that have forced me to think about what I believe and know, and I hope the things I share with her have helped her redefine her views like if a conservative Christian be an educated, logical thinker. This time we didn't even try to write, but painted our nails and watched a classic Audrey Hepburn movie, then talked the rest of the night until I left at 6am to beat the traffic home. It was so refreshing.
Then tonight Ryan and I went to an improv gathering hosted by members of Toastmasters. It was super fun - I played a couple of the improv games and felt totally comfortable doing so. It's a small group with people from various walks of life. Ryan's taking an improv class on Saturdays starting tomorrow, and he'd gone to this particular group once before when I was working. They said we both did well and they hoped we'd come back. Our small group normally meets on Friday nights, and sometimes I work, so we can't commit to every week, but we could totally visit here and there. Ryan definitely wants to pursue more acting opportunities, and he's trying out for one of the main roles in his group's upcoming Easter play. he enjoy I'm glad he's able to find an outlet. I have my writing, and music if I pursue it, so it's great that he can have something.
Thanks, Holly, for the encouragement. I think I should pursue the education thing, and I'll do some more research and find the best program to join. I like the one in Colorado, but I'll check out a few more to make sure I have the right fit. I requested my unofficial transcript from PLU because I forgot my GPA (it was over nine years ago that I graduated) and was pleased to see it was 3.3! Most of the Master's programs want a 3.0 or higher. I had quite a few B's and C's, but maintained enough A's to make up for it. Totally different from high school, where I got almost straight A's except for an A- in biology because I forgot about the summer reading, and a B in psychology because we had a poor teacher. I almost was #1 in my class but lost all the points for my freshman year because I'd been homeschooled up until 10th grade. I was bitter a long while over that until I started getting B's and C's in college. Then I realized grades don't necessarily reflect how much you know, although it certainly gives a little indication of your discipline. Or your poor sleep habits...at least nowadays they have online college and you don't have to drag yourself out of bed at 7:55am just to fall asleep in 8am lecture.
Okay, I think I've written a Challenge article's worth of words in my blabbering. If only writing Challenges were that easy! Night night. Gonna rest up because I have one more shift tomorrow before another two day break. Still hoping for extra work, 'cause I sure need the cash. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Rebecky wrote:Well I was thinking we could try Facebook or skype or we could always try google talk. At first I was kind of liking the idea of google talk cause its easy to download and almost everyone has a Google account and the software is simple and not laggy or anything. Oh and if you have gmail it works from gmail too so you don't have to download anything.
I just don't know if it does group chats.

The proposal came nearly five months after Kardashian divorced Kris Humphries. Her sister Khloe tweeted "Tears of JOY!!!
