Tackle >>> 6-2, 253
(Centenary, Geneva)
1927-1928, 1936 New York Giants, 1929-1933, 1935 Green Bay Packers, 1936 Pittsburgh Pirates
Robert Cal Hubbard ... Most feared lineman of his time ... Rookie star with Giants' great defensive team, 1927 ... Played end with Giants, switched to tackle with Packers ... Anchored line for Packers' title teams, 1929-1931 ... Excelled as a blocker, backed up line on defense ... Extremely fast, strong ... All-NFL six years, 1928-1933 ... Named NFL's all-time offensive tackle, 1969 ... Born October 31, 1900, in Keytesville, Missouri ... Died October 17, 1977, at age of 76.
Cal Hubbard, at 6-2 and 250 pounds was, by the standards of the 1920s, was huge. Still, he could run the 100-yard dash in close to 11 seconds. It was an awesome combination for a tackle – size and speed.
Hubbard played college football at two relatively small schools, Centenary College and Geneva College. But, when he turned pro, he went to the game's biggest city, New York. The Giants, however, were well stocked at the tackle position, so the big man from the small schools was moved to the end position on offense and linebacker on defense. For the next two years, 1927 and 1928, the Giants teamed Cal with another future Hall of Fame lineman, Steve Owen.
The addition of big Cal made a good Giants defense great. New York posted 10 shutouts in 13 games in 1927 and allowed only 20 points for the season while winning their first NFL title. Hubbard earned all-league acclaim both seasons with New York.
In 1929, at his request, Cal was traded to Green Bay where he liked the small town atmosphere. Packers' coach Earl (Curly) Lambeau was building a championship organization in Green Bay. Lambeau moved the versatile Hubbard back to the tackle spot. The Packers won NFL championships three straight years – 1929, 1930, and 1931. Cal enjoyed his best years with the Packers from 1929-1933 and 1935. During that time he earned first-team all-league honors as a guard in 1929 and at tackle in 1931, 1932, and 1933.
During the summers in Green Bay, Hubbard began umpiring baseball games. In 1936, he began a new career as an American League umpire. He became almost as famous as a baseball umpire as he had been as a football player. In 1958 he was appointed umpire-in-chief of the American League. Hubbard is the only person to be enshrined in both the Baseball and Pro Football Hall of Fames.

Fire head coach Frank Klopas did his first media round-up of the week on Wednesday. Some choice quotes from this afternoon's session:
On Paolo Tornaghi's experience stepping in for Sean Johnson last season
"He basically came in at that point as a younger third keeper but he won that second position in preseason and the games that he played. We had a veteran guy as our number two, knowing that Sean had Olympic qualifying games, you saw that he was the one that started in the first game in Montreal.
"We have all the confidence in him, he's played well and we know we're going in a situation with World Cup qualifying and Sean being with the national team, its great for him but we have all the confidence in Paolo in moments like this to step in and do a good job because he's very good 'keeper."
On Bakary Soumare's comments regarding his desire for a trade to the Fire
"With the salary cap and what teams want for players, it's not always so easy. I know Baky very well, he spent a long time here and I saw that. It's great when you treat guys in the right way, they feel this is always their team. There's always a lot of implications but you look into every situation for sure."
On the team's outlook to bring in a striker before the summer transfer window
"We're looking at everything. Any opportunity to see if we improve the team we're going to look at it. You might feel there will be need somewhere, players might become available but the needs might be something different. We're looking at all that but also knowing that it's early in the season."
On the personality of Chivas USA coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola
"I don't know the guy. It seems like he has the team on the right track and they're working hard and he's done a good job so far. Other than that, I don't know. He's a competitive guy just like I am."
We're happy to introduce a new video series to Chicago-Fire.com called "Both Sides of the Badge".
This week we talk to Daniel Paladini about his devotion to the club's supporters and ask him to do his best Frank Klopas impression:
If It seems like its Goalkeeper Week here on Chicago-Fire.com, well maybe it is... Sean Johnson is with the U.S. Men's National Team, meaning Paolo Tornaghi is the starter on Sunday, making way for Alec Kann to officially sign with the club on Tuesday in order to back him up.
I got a lot of quotes from goalkeepers (and their coach) the past few days... It'd be a shame if they went to waste so I've included some of the more interesting ones here...
Chicago FIre goalkeeping coach Aron Hyde
On having two returning goalkeepers for the first time since 2009
"Its never easy in MLS with the salary cap to maintain players year-to-year. In previous years we've looked to experienced guys to guide Sean along in his development and this year we didn't need that. We've got a very young goalkeeping group – its probably the youngest in the league. Sean's not a young goalkeeper anymore –he's at nearly 80 games in his career. We don't have any issues there anymore. Obviously he can get a little more continuity in the group and Paolo is a good goalkeeper and is more than capable of stepping in. He didn't let the side down last year and we're positive and optimistic he'll do the same on Sunday."
On Alec Kann's attitude as the third goalkeeper
"He's coming in willing to learn. He has a good attitude, he works hard – you can't fault him for anything there. He's a good guy to work with. He's been good with the other two and you hope he realizes he's here to push and he wants to play as well. He has to be ready."
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi
On communicating with a changing backline
"Its important when everyone steps on the field to have a positive performance. I thought our defensive line was very good on Saturday. We work together every day so to me it doesn't matter who the first 11 are, all the players train and stay focused to be ready for Sunday."
So if you're like me, you were watching Sunday's SuperClasico between LA and Chivas to get a better understanding of the Fire's upcoming opponents.
Around the 40th minute, you were sort of shocked to see the Goats Joaquin Velazquez sent off by referee Ricardo Salazar for this play…
If anything, Colin Clark could have received a card on the play but nonetheless, Chivas was forced to play the remaining 50 minutes a man down and still found away to earn a 1-1 draw against the reigning MLS Cup champs.
Flash forward to today and an Independent Review panel has rightly rescinded the red card and the one-game suspension that came along with it for this Sunday's match vs. the Fire.
This is the second time in MLS history that a red card has been rescinded. The New England Revolution's Fernando Cardenas saw his red card taken away after he was sent off in a 2-1 loss to Seattle last May.
What do you think? Is it good that the league is willing to rescind red cards when obvious mistakes are being made? Chime in below.
Sean Johnson isn't the only player with Fire ties in U.S. Men's National Team camp. Former Fire first teamer DaMarcus Beasley and PDL product Brad Guzan joined Sean for the opening of training camp Monday in Denver.
In this video, Beasley talks his return to the national team while the Home Glen native Guzan the likely starter for Friday's match vs. Costa Rica and next Tuesday's all-important clash at Mexico.
Twitter is great for many reasons. Today's its awesome because we got an update on how the team's star center back is doing on his hamstring rehab in Germany...
Working on my comeback. Getting better. Thanks to Thomas and #DaVinciPhysioMed Getting back to #Chicago on 26th twitter.com/arnefriedrich/…
— Arne Friedrich (@arnefriedrich) March 18, 2013
See you next Tuesday, Arne!
A nice reminder of June 29, 2012.
The Goal:
The Celebration:
The Despair:
The Fire head to Kansas City Saturday afternoon (2:00pm CT on NBC Sports Network) on the back of two losses to start the season. The team has yet to score a goal or secure point but face a KC team smarting after a loss in Toronto last week. Both will be looking to kick start their season with a big win. Here are some tactical things to look out for.
Right back – three games, three different starters?
With injuries to both Logan Pause and Steven Kinney, it is likely the Fire will have to start a third different right back already this season. Jalil Anibaba started on the right against LA and had a difficult time of things but looked much more comfortable in his natural position at center back last week against New England.
With Kinney out, its almost assured that Anibaba will partner with Austin Berry in the middle which means we will likely see Mike Videra or Wells Thompson on the right. Both played there for a bit of preseason and Videra played at right back for the Men in Red during the 2011 season.
READ: Videira or Thompson at right back?
Previewing Sporting KC
Wells is the more experienced player and like Pause, has played in numerous positions during his MLS career. In a hostile atmosphere away from home, communication between the defenders will be key.
KC are particularly dangerous down the wings and Patrick Nyarko will need to be on hand to help out either Thompson or Videra who will face constant overlapping by the KC wing-backs.
Pressuring KC – copy the Toronto model
Sporting KC lost 2-1 in Toronto last week falling behind 2-0 after only twenty minutes. TFC pressured Sporting from the first whistle and it worked extremely well, with SKC constantly giving the ball away.
TFC's first goal of the game came from pressuring and ganging up on the Sporting KC players. Folks will remember the goal stemming from a bad pass between Matt Besler and Aurelian Collin, but the reason the center backs had the ball at all was because TFC forced Sporting all the way back to their defenders.
TFC clearly flustered Sporting and the pressure prevented SKC from being able to get the ball to their danger men Claudio Bieler and Graham Zusi. Toronto was unable to keep up the pressure for more than the first half and in the second, KC was able to impose their game.
If the Fire can start in a similar fashion to TFC last week and sustain the pressure throughout the game (a tough ask, I know) it would go a long way towards allowing SKC to dictate the tempo, something they will look to do as the home team.
Testing Jimmy Neilson – difference between chances and half chances
A lot of the talk after the first two games of the season was that the Fire created many chances, but were unable to finish them. If we examine the amount of genuine saves Carlo Cudicini and Matt Reis actually had to make though, the numbers are very small, both have to overexert themselves on only one occasion, with the rest of the shots being hit right at them.
Both times the Fire forced the opposition 'keeper into making a fine save was from shots outside the box. When the Fire do get the ball in the box, the team as a whole needs to start showing a bit of composure instead of rushing shots.
Muzzling Zusi – double teaming and picking him up when he comes inside
For the past few seasons, Graham Zusi has been Sporting's best player by some margin. Zusi is dangerous because he can hurt you in so many different ways.
He's comfortable playing outside on the wing and is just as effective when he switches wings as he did against TFC in the second half last week. Zusi also links very well with SKC's outside backs, especially Chance Meyers who overlaps Zusi on a regular basis and picked up a lot of assists doing so last season.
Coach's Take: Sporting KC
READ: A look back on the 2012 win at Sporting
Zusi also likes to cut inside, opening up more space on the outside for the wing-backs to move into. For the most part, TFC did a good job stifling Zusi last week and they did so mainly by double teaming him when he had the ball.
As I said in my Week One preview, a lot of emphasis will be on the Fire wingers, Dilly Duka and Nyarko to track back and help out Gonzalo Segares and whoever the team starts on the right.
Zusi's crossing is arguably his most dangerous weapon and with targets such as Bieler and Sapong lurking in the box, the less crosses the Fire allow, the better.
Prediction: The games in KC have been tight affairs recently, and I don't see this one being any different. 1-1 Fire with a goal from Chris Rolfe.
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve.
Hoping this match from July 4, 2001 in Kansas City is a good omen for the weekend. Peter Vermes should remember the game well, he played all 90 minutes in defense.
Fast forward to 57 seconds in...
We're having a lot of fun with GIFs lately. Since its #RivalryWeek in MLS, we thought we'd do one on Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes being mad.
Also, props to @ricecakeonfire for tweeting me his compilation of the many faces of Peter Vermes:

Founded in 1988 as an independent tee shirt line, Chaser stems from the art, music, and fashion of the LA punk rock scene. As the music of the 80s slowly evolved over time, the Chaser brand followed closely changing their rock n roll style tees to softer fabrics with finer yarn counts, eventually using cashmeres and silks while maintaining its roots; we changed with the times only to never forget we were born from a punk rock family. Chaser tee shirts have now become known not only for their rock n roll styles but for their luxuriously soft fabrics that make the customer want to wear it all day every day. The perfect shirt to throw on after a long day at the office and one youll want to keep on until you have to get back to work. And ever-expanding, Chaser now includes dresses, sweaters, skirts, and bottoms all made in the softest fabrics available.
Whether you are a fan of Blondie, Guns N Roses, John Lennon, or The Kinks, (or perhaps all of them), or you just love the feel of those old band tees that you used to cut up and wear everywhere, Chaser tops are a great addition to anyones closet. Comfortable to wear and made with high-quality fabrics, Chaser has gained a celebrity following of women like Beyonce, Olivia Wilde, Lindsay Lohan, and Lauren Conrad. These shirts are easy to wear and can be paired with your favorite pair of cut off shorts for a relaxing day of shopping or worn over your bikini for a day at the beach. The Chaser collection continues to draw inspiration from the music, art and fashion surrounding them in Los Angeles, enabling them to maintain their stylish and contemporary look.

Is it a multiboot machine with a different desktop for each version of the operating system? If so, the system-config-keyboard command should help to set things straight.
Can you get into one of the virtual terminals? <ctrl-alt-F2...F6>?
I don't know what I did...However; my keyboard stopped working in KDE.
It works everywhere else. I have several desktops, gnome,xfree etc, it works there. At the login window and in grub menu, the keyboard works, but when I log into KDE, only the mouse works.
I don't know where to begin to resolve this.
Please help

My sites: Linux Home Networking - Linux Quick Fix Notebook
Hum...that worked in Fedora but not in mandriva
I have a duel boot, Fedora Core 6 and Mandriva 2007 free. I like them both.
When I tried system-config-keyboard in Fedora, all I was able to configure was the language, nothing else.
When I tried the same command in Mandriva, there is no such command in either root, or non root.
I looked at the difference between /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Mandriva and Fedora, the only difference was keyboard1 and keyboard0. I tried using the Fedora configuration and it didn't work in Mandriva.
I'm stumped here.
hey goldstar,
I stumbled across this post googling for the same problem you are facing. The way I resolved it left me laughing at myself so perhaps you have the same issue. My keyboard was in fact working, but I had managed to turn on 'Slow Keys' without realizing it. Try edit ~/.kde/share/config/kaccessrc and set SlowKeys=false
Hope this solves your or someone else's problem as this is one of the first relevant threads that come up in a google search for 'Keyboard not working kde' .
did you try configuring your keyboard using drakconf under root?
this mandriva utility is quite good...
PS: it works as well in a simple console in text mode... as root of course
I dont have a VM of MDK 2007 handy, but for reference, system-config-blah is only for Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora at this time. Unless some fella ported those to MDK, those just arent there and thus wont do anything. Its a Red Hat CLI/GUI thing to have those commands available.
My keyboard stoped working when I was to quick to answer Ok in a dialogbox.
Editing ~/.kde/share/config/kaccessrc and set SlowKeys=false, solved the problem.
Is there a way to permanently disable SlowKeys?
I was searching the web for this problem and found this thread, it fixed my problems so I felt compelled to create an account so I could thank you all
Vaugley remember clicking to fast through a "slow keys" dialogue but I assumed it was the one from opera, not KDE
problem solved now though

Reverend Joseph P. Heaney
CRANSTON - Reverend Joseph P. Heaney, 90, Pastor Emeritus of St. Mark Church in Cranston, Rhode Island, died on March 17, 2011.
Born in Pawtucket, a son of the late Joseph A. and Mary (Nealin) Heaney, he attended Central Avenue Grammar School, Goff Junior High School and Pawtucket East High School in Pawtucket.

For those looking for a fun activity that's close to home and doesn't cost much, mark June 6 on the calendar.
"Make plans now to get out with your family and enjoy a free day of fishing," says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
Cushing says Utah has plenty of water this year, and fishing should be better than ever.
"Fishing at many of our mid-elevation reservoirs is really good right now," he said. "As the spring runoff recedes, fishing will pick up at the state's rivers and streams too."
People won't need a license to fish on June 6, but Cushing reminds everyone that the other rules in the state's fishing guidebook will still be in effect.
Free fishing days have become a tradition for the DWR each year. Many take advantage of the event to get out and do something they may not have done for years or do only once in a while.
Interested parties can learn those rules by reading the 2009 Utah Fishing Guidebook.
The free guidebook is available at http://wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks/2009_fishing.

YIELD: 4 servings
- 1 (3-pound) broiler-fryer, cut into 8 pieces
- milk to cover
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 cup flour
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Put the chicken pieces in a large bowl and cover with milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour or longer. Drain the chicken and shake off the excess liquid. Mix the garlic powder, seasoning salt, black pepper, and cayenne; sprinkle the spices over the chicken so that the pieces are evenly coated.
Pour the flour into a large plastic bag and add the chicken pieces, a few at a time, shaking gently. As the pieces are floured, transfer them to a wire rack or a sheet of waxed paper, placing them well apart from one another. Let stand for 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat until it is nearly smoking. Add the chicken pieces in one layer; the fat should come halfway up the pieces. Cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown on one side; turn the pieces and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, covered, until evenly browned on both sides, turning as needed. Total cooking time should be 20 to 25 minutes. As the pieces are cooked through, remove them to a rack to drain.

Hi All
I am new to your forum and new to PHP, so far both are outstanding.
My question is this:
B4 I get too far into creating my variables ( I warned you, I'm new to this ) I wanted to know, Is it possible to post a form to an address based on the result of a variable?
If the answer to this is yes, shortly I will post an example of what I am trying to do.
Any insight would be great.
And thank you for allowing me to be part of your forum.

I recently read your article on the Emma Park project. I think that retrieving the water there would be very beneficial to the city. The main problem is funding as I see it.
One way the city could get money for the project is the city could host a fundraiser or some kind of event to get the community more aware of the project and interested in it. A donation jar could be placed at the city office or other public places. You may want to present some of the ideas in front of the city so they can get proper funding for the project.

Monday, March 25, 2013
By Joseph Andrew Lee
Kristi Hinson and her two daughters waited patiently at the foot of a baggage claim escalator in San Antonio International Airport. It was her 20th wedding anniversary, but one of less than a dozen she's enjoyed with her husband between deployments during his 17-year Army career.
Chief Warrant Officer Scott Hinson was scheduled to arrive any minute. Kristi peered up the escalator bank, searching for a familiar face, when an unfamiliar woman in a pink sweatsuit approached and handed her a long-stem rose.
"Happy anniversary," the stranger said.
The woman in pink was followed by a man in a business suit she'd never seen before. He, too, was bearing a rose.
"You must be Kristi. Happy anniversary," he said, handing her the rose.
Stranger after stranger came down the escalator until 19 long-stem roses from 19 strangers were in Kristi's hands. She turned misty when she saw who was carrying the 20th rose.
One month earlier, Scott Hinson contacted the USO for help. Knowing there would be no place to buy roses on the flight back, he drafted an email.
"I'm sure this is a strange request," he wrote to USO Georgia CEO Mary Lou Austin, "but I'm not sure who else to ask.
"I'm currently serving in Afghanistan and will be coming home for R&R in a couple of weeks. It will also be my 20-year wedding anniversary and I'm trying to find roses to purchase in the airport to give to my wife when I land in San Antonio."
Hinson wrote that he'd looked through the airport directory but didn't see any vendors that sold flowers and he assumed there wouldn't be a place to buy any before he saw Kristi and their two teenage girls in San Antonio. He asked if someone from the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport USO office could tell him what stores in the area sold flowers and if they could collect them for him if he ordered them online.
"Again, I know this is a strange request," he wrote, "but I'm just taking a shot here. Thanks for your time."
"My reply was simple," Austin said. "Tell me when and where and I'll take care of it."
The day of his arrival, USO Georgia staffer Carol Austin confirmed with Army Sgt. Maj. Tyrone Legier that Hinson was indeed on an inbound flight manifest. She purchased the flowers at a nearby flower boutique, went past security to where Hinson was arriving on a rain-delayed trip from the Middle East and hand-delivered the flowers he requested.
But that wasn't all. Austin then took Hinson to Concourse E where he was rebooked on a 5:45 p.m. flight rather than his original flight, which would have put him in San Antonio at nearly midnight.
As he walked off the plane, Hinson gave 19 roses to helpful passengers on his flight. He asked them to walk to baggage claim where they would see one of his daughters holding up a "Welcome Home" sign and to then give the rose to the lady standing next to it. Everything went lockstep and what began as a problem – not knowing where to get flowers – ended up as a wonderful reunion for the Hinsons.
"We've spent a lot of anniversaries apart, so I'm glad he made this one special," Kristi said. "He definitely earned some brownie points on this one, but when he told me how the USO made this all possible, that made the story even sweeter."
"Mrs. Austin and the USO members at the airport went way above anything I expected to ensure I was taken care of coming through the Atlanta Airport," Scott Hinson wrote on the USO's Facebook wall. "Thanks USO for making this R&R and anniversary special!"
* Update 3/26/13: Watch the Hinsons tell their story to NBC's "The Today Show."

|Flurries Greet Woolly Worm Festival
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 17 October 2009 08:14
Snow flurries greeted visitors to the 32nd annual Wooly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, but the crowd bundled up to enjoy the event in spite of near-freezing weather.
First races got underway shortly before 10am Saturday, with the ultimate winning woolly worm predicting the winter weather and warming the pockets of the owner with a $1000 prize. If the weather at the Woolly Worm Festival was any predictor, the area could be in for a cold winter season.
The festival runs through late Sunday afternoon and is a major fund-raiser for Avery area civic organizations and charities. MIX102.3 is broadcasting Saturday's festivities all day.

Oklahoma! A Paramount Theatrical Production
This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all, is the rugged cowboy Curly, who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma! Nominated for 7 Tony Awards and winner of a Pulitzer Prize, this is the show that sets the standard for the 2015-16 Paramount Broadway Season. It's filled with some of the most recognized songs in theatre including "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "People Will Say We're in Love," and of course, the resounding "Ok-la-hom-a," – all performed by the Paramount's full-orchestra. Bring the entire family and experience Paramount's Oklahoma! This will be the production everyone is talking about this fall. Music by Richard Rodgers Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Based on "Green Grow the Lilacs" by Lynn Riggs Original dances by Agnew De Mille Directed by Paramount Artistic Director Jim Corti.
A Christmas Story - The Musical at the Paramount Theatre
One of the most watched and beloved Holiday movies ever made comes to life in a full-blown musical production on the Paramount stage. It's the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker growing up in middle-America in the 1940s. With Christmas right around the corner, Ralphie has his bespectacled sights set on one thing – a Red Ryder BB Gun. But at every turn, the young daydreamer hears those five words that are the bane of his existence: "you'll shoot your eye out." It's a story filled with laughs, dreams, warmth and family. A story filled with a department store Santa, a Leg Lamp, a Snow Suit and friends that will never leave your side – even if your tongue is stuck to a Flag Pole. The music is energetic, unforgettable and ranges from gentle ballads to full-on show-stopping numbers. The imagery takes you back to an easier time we often long for, but the message stays the same: family, friendship, love – the holidays are nothing without them. Bring your family and celebrate the holidays with the perfect feel-good musical for the season.
West Side Story: A Paramount Theatrical Production
It's quite possibly one of the greatest love stories ever to be told in a musical. Set in the blue-collar neighborhood of New York's Upper West Side, racial tensions run high as residents try to grind out a daily living. A turf war is being fought as the Jets, a white gang, and the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang, battle over boundaries. In the heart of the turmoil, former Jets member Tony meets Maria at a local dance. The chemistry is instantaneous, and for a few hours, there is no race, no hatred, no barriers, just two young people in love. But Maria is the sister of Sharks' leader Bernardo, and no one is going to make it easy for Tony and Maria to escape.
Hairspray: The Broadway Musical at the Paramount Theatre
Tracy Turnblad is a plus-size teen with plus-size hair, and she has one big plus-size dream – to dance her way onto Baltimore's smash hit TV show, "The Corny Collins Show." Every day after school, she and best friend Penny bee-line home to watch the cool kids shake the rafters to the hottest tunes on Collins' program. When a dance slot opens on the show, Tracy gets help from her friend Seaweed, who puts enough groove in her step to win that dream role – and life is never the same again. But Tracy doesn't rest on her stardom, instead she uses her new celebrity to racially integrate the TV show and change the lives of Baltimore folks forever. Based on the John Waters hit movie, Hairspray is a high-octane ride with thrilling choreography, rockin' tunes and explosively colorful costumes – plus some really cool hairdos. More importantly, under all the glitz, Hairspray reminds us of the importance of individuality and the acceptance of one another: a wonderful message to share with everyone.

Many significant corporate and economic events have rocked the business world this past decade. If there is one thing that we as a society have learned from these experiences, it is the importance of accountability and accounting. The value of record keeping has been known to mankind since the Mesopotamian civilization some 7000 years ago. But, in today's world of multinationals and the global reach of capital markets, a world in which capital providers have little direct influence over how organizations are managed, the accounting function has become key to business stewardship and control. Academic institutions shoulder an immense responsibility in training future generations of business graduates and accountants who are equal to the challenges of this complex business arena we find ourselves in. We, at the Jones Graduate School of Business, see this as an opportunity to lead the way as we look forward to commencing the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program in 2016. With outstanding faculty in our accounting group, we are well positioned to achieve our research and educational goals.
Some notable faculty accomplishments for which we take great pride include:
The 2013 Financial Times global rankings named the Jones School No. 4 in accountancy (based on alumni rating). The school's accounting faculty includes Thomas Hemmer, one of the most prolific analytical accounting scholars in the world, who is often invited to other top universities to teach their doctoral students; Karen Nelson, a renowned scholar in financial reporting and disclosure issues, under whose past leadership the accounting faculty at the Jones School has grown impressively in size and stature; and Stephen Zeff, a past president of the American Accounting Association and a member of the Accounting Hall of Fame, who was recently awarded the Keith Anderson Chair in business education. K. Ramesh, an eminent scholar in financial reporting and a past president of the Financial Accounting and Reporting Section (FARS) of the American Accounting Association, and our deputy dean of academic affairs, was recently awarded the Herbert S. Autrey Chair in Accounting.
As the head of our accounting group, I welcome you to visit our website and learn more about our faculty, courses and research.

Revoluto Project in the Netherlands
Modern PA System and sophisticated technology at the Smallingerland municipality, Netherlands
The Smallingerland municipality was looking for a complete AV system to integrate into the new Council room. The company AVisie Barneveld realised this project with a Revoluto conference system from beyerdynamic.
AVisie mentioned two reasons to select the Revoluto system:
1. The Council meetings are transmitted with three cameras via the internet. Therefore, the microphones should be as unobtrusive as possible.
2. Optimal performance in this acoustically difficult surroundings. For a new Council room you are looking of course for the best solution.
During the installation, the system was adapted to the desires and requirements of the Council which included two podiums. For the audio, the system also includes two Biamp Nexia CS processors, which make the system user-friendly and exclude a wrong operation.
Souce: Electric Sound Netherlands
Information about Revolto:
Revoluto - The microphone station without gooseneck microphone
Compared to a gooseneck microphone, the microphone units with the patented Revoluto technology provide a corridor characteristic and more comfort while speaking. There is no need to adjust a gooseneck microphone and the voice range is much wider. Whether you lean backwards, stand up or turn your head, the quality of the intelligibility always remains the same with Revoluto.

As your baby becomes more independent and mobile, your questions for your child's doctor may have more to do with bumps, bruises, and behavior than with anything else.
You can't protect your baby from every knee-bump suffered while learning to walk. But you can make sure poisons and medicines are kept where kids can't possibly get to them and provide a safe environment for exploration.
Your baby is probably hearing "no" a lot these days while exploring boundaries; soon, you'll hear that word back from your little one! Be consistent but loving while teaching the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
Doctors often have their own schedules for well-baby visits, but most will generally see a baby twice during this stage, once at 9 months and again at 12 months.
If you have missed any immunizations, or if a problem has been detected that needs special attention, additional visits may be scheduled.
The well-baby visits at 9 and 12 months are pretty similar to the exams that have taken place so far, although your discussions with your doctor about behavior and habits may become more frequent.
Expect these common procedures and questions:
Depending on where they live and the potential risk of tuberculosis, sometimes babies at about 1 year of age undergo a tuberculin skin test. You'll be given instructions on how to monitor the test and asked to return to the office for the nurse or doctor to check the results of the test. Discuss possible vaccine reactions with your doctor and when to call with unusual problems.
During appointments, raise any questions or concerns you have and jot down any instructions the doctor gives you about special baby care. Keep updating your child's permanent medical record, listing information on growth and any problems or illnesses.
If your baby missed immunizations at previous visits because of illness or scheduling problems, he or she will probably be brought up-to-date now.
Because your baby is becoming more and more mobile and is in contact with other kids more often, you'll want to make sure immunizations are given as close to the recommended times as possible. This is especially true if your baby goes out of your home for childcare.
Because more immunizations than ever are given to kids by 2 years of age, doctors are spacing vaccinations so that they won't need more than three to four shots per well-baby visit.
From the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):
Your baby also may receive:
This immunization schedule can vary depending on what combined vaccines your doctor uses.
You should feel comfortable enough with your doctor to call with questions and concerns that can't wait until the next scheduled visit. If your questions can wait, write them down so you don't forget. Of course, call the doctor immediately if your child has an injury or illness that needs attention.
Call the doctor right away if your baby seems especially sluggish, is refusing food or drink, is vomiting or has diarrhea, or has a temperature of 102.2ºF (39ºC) or higher.
At this age, developmental delays may cause concern, so contact your doctor if you suspect your child is not developing within the range of normal. Kids have their own timetable for crawling, talking, and walking, so keep that in mind when checking for these signs of developmental progress by the first birthday.
Make sure your child:
Again, the absence of any of these signs may or may not be cause for concern. Share them with your doctor, though, because problems caught early can be treated more successfully.

New Professor, Merideth Ferguson, Has Studied Impact of Abusive Work Situations
By Nadiah Johari
Having an abusive boss can create workplace stress that can easily translate into problems at home. For eight years, Merideth Ferguson, a new professor at the Huntsman School of Business, has done research to gain insight into how a troubled work situation can impact the family.
Dr. Merideth Ferguson, a new professor on campus, teaches introduction to human resources.
Dr. Ferguson has focused her research on how abusive supervision and workplace incivility affect an employee's family experiences. She said she has had friends and family members who had supervisors who were abusive and hostile. She found that instead of leaving the stress of abuse at work, they carried it home and sometimes took it out on their families.
"That was something that I really wanted to better understand," she said. "If we can understand how it happens, then we can understand how to prevent the abuse in the first place by not hiring managers who will engage in that behavior."
In 1995, Dr. Ferguson earned her bachelor's degree at Howard Payne University in psychology.
"After getting my undergraduate degree, I did a little bit of work in psychology and realized that it really wasn't for me. It didn't suit my interests or my strengths," Dr. Ferguson said. "I had worked in banking when I was in college, and I went back to that and really got interested in the people side of business, which was kind of the mixture between business and psychology that social psychology provides."
Dr. Ferguson worked for the Texas Mental Health and Mental Retardation organization. She then worked at Regions Bank where she did training and development, and systems implementation.
In 1997, Dr. Ferguson spent three years working at Deloitte & Touche in Nashville as a senior analyst before taking a leave of absence to pursue an MBA with concentrations in human and organizational performance and information technology at Vanderbilt University. After earning her master's degree, she worked at Deloitte Consulting as an implementation manager for two years and left the firm in 2002 to work toward a doctorate in management at Vanderbilt University.
Dr. Ferguson has been in Utah for three months and said she is thrilled to be at USU. She teaches Introduction to Human Resources and Negotiation courses. In addition, she will be an advisor for the Huntsman school's chapter of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) and said she plans to integrate the student chapter with the professional chapter.
"I think one of the things that I found helpful as an undergraduate and graduate student was having somebody older and more experienced who was a good mentor," she said. "There are some opportunities for mentoring between our students and some HR professionals in the area, so I'm hoping to strengthen some of those ties over the next year or two."
Dr. Ferguson said one of her goals at USU is to strengthen and expand the influence of the Master of Science in Human Resources program in the western region as well as nationally. She hopes that the program will be known for churning out graduating professionals who excel in their chosen area of HR.
Dr. Ferguson likes to go rock climbing, backpacking, and traveling with her sons, ages fourteen and nine. Her husband, Dr. John Ferguson, is also a new faculty member at USU. Prior to coming to USU, both Drs. Ferguson were also faculty members at Baylor University.
"One of the really helpful things about working together is we know each other's work situation, so we can help each other with work problems, which actually kind of goes with some research that I'm doing right now about spouses who either work in the same organization or in the same occupation," she said. "For us, it's a strength, and it's something that we don't take for granted."

A new study by Malka, Soto, Cohen, and Miller (2010) suggests that Christianity, and religiosity more generally, leads to political conservatism, which in turn leads to opposition to "social welfare." On the other hand, these same religious scruples relate to a desire to help those less fortunate. These two pathways, the authors suggest, might be accounted for by "competing influences rooted in a combination of personality processes and contextual-discursive surroundings." I wonder then, if the House Republicans' desire to repeal the health-care bill reflects a belief that Christ would do the same thing in the same situation (contextual-discursive surroundings), or if they are just power-hungry, with eyes on the White House (personality processes)?
To steal a line from Peter Griffin of Family Guy, the Republicans "really grind my gears!" The Republicans aren't the only ones that rub me the wrong way when it comes to health care, of course. Insurance companies like Aetna, specifically, do too. While the previsions of the new health-care bill slowly come into effect, Aetna and other insurance providers do all they can to take advantage of needy consumers. In some cases, they do so by jacking-up premiums. Other times, they do it by denying coverage to pregnant women, because, apparently, an unknown conception occurring a week before coverage begins is a "preexisting condition." While the new health-care bill will eventually prevent similar drops due to "preexisting conditions," the House Republicans have promised to do all they can to let the insurance companies continue to act like money-lusting hornswogglers. That's right. The Republicans with their "Christian conservative values" seem to be taking advantage of the once Democratic majority's dying quivers in an attempt to kill the bill's remaining provisions and implement their own version of a health-care bill designed simply to add cash to the already-lined pocks of the insurance companies. While there is little hope for the Republicans evil plan to do so in the short term, due to the Democratic Senate Majority and President Obama's veto pen, the fact that they are trying proves one thing: the Republicans are a bunch of hypocritical dicks interested more in defeating Obama in a 2012 election than helping the less fortunate receive health care. As f'ed up as their actions might be, I bet if you asked the Republicans, they would tell you that they are just doing what Christ would do.
What does a Republican House mean for Health Care Reform?

SPARTA, Mich. (WZZM) - West Michigan is known as being a mecca for minor league sports. That includes some non-traditional sports, like the one that will be revving its engines this weekend in Sparta.
The 11th annual "Jim Keech Memorial Race" will take over Sparta Airport this Saturday and Sunday.
"We expect anywhere from 50 to 70 mowers to show up this weekend," said Jayson Mikula, who is a six-time champion on the United States Lawn Mower Racing circuit. "We have racers coming from all around the country, from as far away as Florida and Maryland."
Mikula added that the majority of the racers will be from the midwest states.
This event isn't just about trophies, bragging rights or the regional lawn mower points race. It's about something far more important.
"This is our annual race to benefit Huntington's Disease," said Mikula, who's family has raised more than $100,000 in hopes if finding a cure.
Racing runs from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, then wraps up Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. The cost is $5 per person 12 and older.
Sparta Airport is located at 9100 Vinton Ave. in Sparta. For additional information about the event, here are a couple websites for you to check out:

Video: Bishop Malone Reacts to Pope's Resignation
Video: Local Reaction to Pope Benedict's XVI resignation
BUFFALO, NY - Most Rev. Richard J. Malone, the Catholic Bishop of Buffalo, spoke with reporters Monday morning regarding the unexpected resignation of Pope Benedict XVI.
The leader of 631,409 Catholics in the eight county Buffalo Diocese said he was initially surprised at the announcement like everyone else.
"I don't even think the Cardinals in this country, who are his closest collaborators, knew about it," Malone said, after celebrating a mass before students at Mount Mercy Academy in South Buffalo, and while wearing a pectoral cross given to him by the Pope.
However, upon reflection, Malone said Benedict's voluntary resignation, (a first for a Pope in more than 700 years) was understandable, especially when he remembered the last time he saw the Pope in person in November, 2011.
"He seemed more fragile than I thought he would be," Malone recalled. "I think the pope said earlier this year that when the time came when he thought he should step down he would. And I think it's for the good of the church."
Malone also believes Benedict's historically rare action may set a precedent for future Popes, particularly when ill health becomes a major factor in their ability to go on serving.
"It has traditionally been a serve till you die job...and I think it does send a message. We went through that long period with Pope John Paul II, seeing him get sicker and sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker...I wonder if Pope Benedict, knowing his own health was not what it once was, perhaps thought we shouldn't have two papacies in a row that way," Malone said.
Malone was appointed this past summer by Benedict XVI to be the Bishop of Buffalo, while continuing to be the Bishop of Portland Maine until a successor would be named there, at which time Malone could then devote his full attention to Western New York.
However, he does not think the Pope's sudden announcement that he will resign effective February 28 will slow that process.
"Probably not because it's all in the works already. I have no clue as to who will be appointed for Portland, but I do know the process is going forward," Malone told WGRZ-TV.
Of course, a more important process begins at month's end, when a conclave of Cardinals begins to select a new Pope.
Malone says he would not be surprised to see serious consideration to a candidate from an emerging nation, which was an idea brought up when Benedict XVI was selected seven years ago.
"I hope and pray it's exactly the right person we need, whoever he is," said Malone. "But I would love to see a Pope come from Africa or India, the Philippines, or Central or South America."
While one can never predict with certainty the outcome of the selection, Malone seems almost certain the next Pontiff will not hail from the United States.
"I can't imagine that in my lifetime", was Malone's response when we asked him about that. "The United States is already too much of a super power and already so dominant," he said.

MASSENA Since he was 9 years old, Marc A. Tessier has been giving his time to the Massena Neighborhood Center, where he volunteers with his parents.
But his latest gift to the center is something much more than time, and one that will keep on giving for many decades to come.
In conjunction with the St. Lawrence County Community Development Programs Community Action Angels, Marc planted 10 fruit trees, five apple trees and five pear trees, at the center.
We had been talking for several years about planting fruit trees, center Director Elaine H. Eggleston said.
Marc, 13, and his family looked into it and because of Marc, his dad, his mom, Community Action Angels and the other volunteers, its coming to fruition, Ms. Eggleston said.
Marc said he heard about the Community Action Angels when he attended the Community Development Programs annual dinner with his parents last year.
The plantings were supported by the Community Action Angelss Kids Are Key initiative, which provided youths in the community with $100 as seed money to help get their projects started.
But from the very beginning, Marc said, it was his goal to complete his project without cashing the check he was given something he was able to accomplish.
CDP Volunteer Coordinator Alicia M. Murphy said the money now will be donated to the Neighborhood Center.
We are very, very excited about this project, Ms. Eggleston said. Its going to be a wonderful boost to our food pantry to be able to offer fresh fruit to the families who come in.
The best part of it, and the main reason Marc said he chose to plant trees instead of something else, is the longevity of the gift.
Thats actually why I wanted to do a prolonged project like this, he said. It will last for a long period of time.
Ms. Eggleston agreed. These trees will be here long after Im retired, she said.

Air China held a celebration at the Frankfort International Airport on May 23, 2013, to mark the opening of the direct Chengdu - Frankfurt route. This is the first direct route the Civil Aviation Administration of China has approved to connect West China with Europe. The new route makes a total of five Air China routes between China and Germany.
The opening of the Chengdu - Frankfurt route creates an air bridge for friendly exchanges between West China and Germany, and links through the aviation hub of West China and the largest aviation hub in Germany. The new flight is sure to promote cultural exchange, economic and trade cooperation and tourism development between Sichuan, West China and Hessen, Germany, and the rest of Europe. This new route makes Chengdu the third domestic city with direct flights to Frankfurt, after Beijing and Shanghai, and offers more options for Chinese passengers travelling to Frankfurt and German passengers traveling to China. The flight schedule for the new route was chosen to give passengers easy access to connecting flights, to make international trips more convenient and comfortable and to reduce travel time.
