There's eight seconds left and your team is down by 1. Everything you worked for – the countless hours in the gym and the thousands of shots you put up – comes down to this. Will your shoes help you excel in crunch time? Whether you're iso-ing at the top of the key, coming off a screen for a game winning 3, or taking your defender one-on-one in the post, our elite performance basketball shoes prepare you for the win by promoting the quick cuts, explosive jumps, and overall athleticism you need.
Whether you're a dominant big man, slashing guard, deadly shooter or somewhere in between, your shoes should fit your personal style. The look of the shoe is the first thing people notice when you step on the court, so they should reflect who you are and how you play. That's why we provide the most styles and colors in the market – so you can find the shoe that fits you.
The features you need in a shoe are determined by your style of play and your position. Generally, smaller players will play in low tops or mids because they promote quickness, agility, and abrupt directional changes. Larger players will typically play in mids, mids with an ankle brace, or high tops. These alternatives provide the ankle support and stability that bigger players need around the rim without limiting their athleticism, quickness, and explosiveness.
Basketball shoes continue to become more advanced from a technical aspect. Companies are finding innovative ways to make shoes more stable, comfortable, and safe, while making them lighter and promoting greater athleticism on the court.So whether you are looking for the newest Lebron James, Kevin Durant or any other of your favorite signature athletes shoes. Eastbay is proud to carry a large selection of the most innovative and performance-enhancing basketball shoes available.

Read the latest participation news.
In the fall of 2011, Dean Gilligan launched a three-year initiative, the "Our Turn" campaign, to engage more McCombs alumni with the school and to increase alumni participation through personal gifts to support the school. The goal of Our Turn is to maintain excellence at the UT McCombs School of Business and to provide value to the 88,000 alumni in our network.
While the UT McCombs School of Business continues to receive top-tier rankings, including the #1 Faculty at a US Business School and #1 Accounting program according to the US News and World Report, McCombs does not compare well on alumni participation and this does not accurately reflect the pride and engagement of McCombs alumni. Why does this matter to you? Annual alumni "participation rates" are used in rankings of business schools in the US. The media will often report this metric as a de-facto rating of alumni satisfaction with their degree.
Peer business schools report a minimum of 10-20% alumni giving--last year McCombs reported just 6.4% of alumni giving back to the school, which presents a real challenge to all McCombs Alumni: How do we become #1?
The intent is to reach out and engage as many alumni as possible, not simply to raise funds. McCombs is financially sound and has weathered recent budget cuts quite well. Our goal is to increase our alumni participation rate to at least 10% within the next three years.
Alumni often ask how their $50 or $100 gift each year could possibly be meaningful. The answer is simple: if half of our alumni gave $50, we would have an additional $2,200,000 for faculty research and summer support, student scholarships, and new projects. By making a modest, annual gift to McCombs you can be counted "in" when these numbers are reported each year. Every amount counts!
As McCombs School of Business alumni, we benefited from the expertise, knowledge, and resources that came with a transformational business education. Now it's Our Turn, as alumni, to help shape the future of the school.
Alumni Ambassadors are supporters and advocates of McCombs. They understand the importance of giving back their time, talent, and/or treasure in order to preserve and increase the value of their degree(s).
GIVE - Make an annual gift to McCombs. Any amount counts.
SHARE - Reach out to your personal and professional McCombs alumni friends to educate them about the campaign. Encourage your peers to help make McCombs #1.
ENGAGE - Assist in recruiting volunteers to serve as Ambassadors.

Friday, September 27, 2013
By Joseph Andrew Lee
How do you know America's troops are on their way home from Afghanistan? Because the USO has closed its first center in the country.
The USO at FOB Sharana hosted more than 220,000 visits by American and coalition troops stationed there since troops first built the center in October 2010.
What was once a drab Quonset hut amid a row of military facilities, USO FOB Sharana was transformed by troops into a warm, comfortable place to hang one's hat, complete with custom-built poker tables, breakfast supplies and Christmas stockings during the holidays.
"The center at Sharana was focused on providing a homey, living room atmosphere," Sharana center director DJ Stanhope wrote in a recent email. "Most of the food was donated and our 'extras' had no comparison in any pancake house I ever saw. We had flavored syrups, nuts, butter, powdered and brown sugar, fruit toppings, granola, you name it."One of the "regular pancake flippers," Army Command Sgt. Maj. Ernest Warner, of 2nd Battalion, 15th Field Artillery Regiment, said USO FOB Sharana was a key morale booster for soldiers stationed there.
"It gave them a taste of home with all the activities the USO provided," he said at the closing ceremony.
For her service to the troops stationed aboard FOB Sharana, Stanhope received the Patriotic Civilian Service Award from the Army during the Sept. 11 closing ceremony. "I take great pride in knowing we have made a difference on this little FOB, bringing a hug from home to the troops who serve here," Stanhope said in remarks at the closing ceremony. "But truthfully, I will remember most the troops who got to see a baby being born, completed a college class, got promoted or achieved a great award or other distinction. I will remember the ones who felt safe to come to me with a problem or just needed a little encouragement knowing I would give it to them. I will remember how I have been cared for when I had a respiratory infection and when I broke my foot. I will remember our amazing pancake waffle breakfasts and the Combat Kitchen Crew who made it happen. And I will never forget the ones who didn't make it home with us.
"For my part, it has been a wonderful privilege to serve this community, and in many ways this parting is bittersweet because I have come to view this place as home. My heart is at Sharana not because I am so selfless or so special, but because you are and you have welcomed me and made me feel as though I am a part of your family."

The strategically important town on the Afgooye-Baidoa, corridor in Bay region, was liberated from Al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab early this morning without any resistance, marking a significant loss for the group. The town, located 64kms east of Baidoa, was a stronghold of the Shabaab where they extorted high levies of illegal taxation on the local civilian populations and used it as a base from where they planned and launched attacks against government forces and installations, AMISOM and the Somali population. Buur-Hakba is the latest in a string of significant territorial losses for the extremist group to SNA and AMISOM forces over the last 18 months, which has seen their area of influence and control over towns and areas across Somalia steadily decrease.

EAST MILLINOCKET, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Believe it or not Christmas is less than three weeks away. On Saturday at Great Northern Paper mill in East Millinocket, kids in the Katahdin region had a special visitor.
Santa Claus stopped by the paper mill to pay the kids a special visit. Kids were able to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas and have their picture taken by their parents.
Sarah Boone helped organize the event for the kids. She said even though there was a lot of work involved, it was worth it to see the looks on the kids' faces.
"It's extraordinary. It reminds us of what Christmas is really all about and getting to see the expressions on the kids' faces when they saw Santa for the first time. It really reminds you why we do things like this," Boone said.
Boone said Great Northern Paper will try and do this again next year to try and make this an annual event.

POTSDAM - A pack of motorcyclists travelled from town to town all across St. Lawrence County on Saturday. Every time they stopped, each rider was given a single playing card. The game was on.
Twenty three riders participated in the fourth annual poker run and charity motorcycle ride. Bikers could register for $20, and an extra $10 would let them pick up poker cards along the way for a chance to win prizes.
All proceeds went to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Cancer affects everyone now, its nice to get everyone together for a good cause, according to Kelly A. Hennessey, the Walmart associate who has organized all four of the runs.
The event was alcohol-free, Hennessey said, to encourage more families to come out.
Wayne M. Ward of Governeur brought his daughter, Jackie M. Ward, 15, along for the trip.
It was a lot of fun, she said. It was long.
The ride began at 10 a.m. at the Potsdam Walmart on Route 11 and travelled to locations in Malone, Massena and Ogdensburg before returning to the starting point at 3 p.m.
It was a nice day out, it was fun, Olivia P. Mactin of Waddington said.
At each stop riders could pick a playing card. After the ride was over everyone compared results to see who had the best poker hand, with a $30 Walmart gift card for the winner.
The Wards won a $5 gift card for the dubious honor of having the worst hand, with a single queen (their next-highest card was a six).
Many members of Mr. Wards family are cancer survivors, including his sister.
We try to participate in as many cancer events as we can, he said.
Other riders had personal reasons for supporting the cause.
Its a way to give back to the American Cancer Society, Art R. Knauf of Heuvelton said. Mr. Knaufs father is a cancer survivor.
For some, Saturday marked just one of many rides planned for the summer.
Weve been to a lot of them every year, said Fred A. Wilson of Malone. It was a good ride.
The riders returned to Potsdam with a chicken barbecue waiting for them. Summertime items like coolers, tents and motorcycle helmets were offered in a raffle to earn more money for the ACS.

Two MTA Bridge and Tunnel officers were injured after helping rescue more than a dozen people from an early morning fire at a Long Island City apartment building.
Sgts. Kris Owens and Paul Leggio were preparing for a security checkpoint at the Queens Midtown Tunnel administration building Wednesday when they saw flames and smoke at the rear of an apartment building just two doors away, the transit agency said.
A two-alarm fire had broken out just after 6:30 a.m. in a four-story dwelling at 10-39 51st Ave.
Owens and Leggio, together with Sgt. Jacinth Thomas and Officers Joseph Vasquez, Ronald Linck, Steven Wall, Dave Rivera and James McGuigan, sprung into action and decided to check to see if anyone was trapped in the blaze.
"We saw heavy flames and smoke as we approached, and we started knocking on doors and kicking doors to get the people out," Owens said. "Everybody seemed to be sleeping and disoriented, and some people came out in their nightclothes."
After safely removing more than a dozen people from the building, the officers also evacuated residents from the apartment buildings on both sides of the fire, according to the MTA.
"Within a few minutes we had the building cleared. We got everybody out safely. I'm glad we were there," Owens said.
Vasquez and Linck were injured while evacuating residents and were taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment of cuts, bruises and smoke inhalation, the MTA said. Five firefighters were also hurt in the blaze, according to the FDNY, but no civilian injuries were reported.
"Our Bridge and Tunnel Officers work around the clock to protect our customers from hazards of vehicular traffic, but when they saw lives at risk off our property, these brave officers did not hesitate to plunge into danger to save them," MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast said. "I'm proud of their selfless actions to protect the public."

libxml-ruby doesn't work on Windows (surprise, surprise!). One of our teams discovered that the version of Ruby on Windows has a XML::Parser class, but it is NOT libxml-ruby even if you try to install the gem. A workaround is to rename or delete the libxml.so file, and then you can use the real XML::Parser.
A few Pivots just whipped up a pivotal-apdex gem that allows you to calculate your application's Apdex performance index via a simple command line tool by parsing Nginx or Apache server logs. Apdex is an emerging standard in measuring application performance. We were inspired by Lew Cirne, CEO of New Relic, who gave a talk about Apdex a few weeks ago at Pivotal's office.
It may be worth noting that Nokogiri works on Windows, and the gem even bundles a version of libxml2.

Firefighters from multiple agencies joined forces to battle two brush fires in southern Volusia County on Saturday.
Officials said the Maytown Road Fire broke out at 12:47 p.m. near the intersection of Maytown Road and Interstate 95 and quickly grew to 100 acres.
According to the Florida Forest Service, the fire is 20 percent contained, officials said.
Officials said a second fire was reported at 3:53 p.m. near Boy Scout Camp and Swamp Deer roads northeast of Osteen.
Officials said 37 firefighters responded with trucks, four tractors and a helicopter.
Firefighters said they were able to protect a dozen homes that were threatened on Swamp Deer Road. A pole barn on Boy Scout Camp Road was destroyed. This fire is estimated at 150 acres and is 50 percent contained.
Both fires are settling down this evening as the humidity rises and winds drop, officials said.
Firefighters said they expect the the fires to pick up again tomorrow afternoon.

Download the Agenda
Aristotle could have been talking to the financial services industry when he wrote those words over 2000 years ago. Operational excellence is not about simply deciding to do better - its about creating enterprise-wide 'habits'. Large, complex organizations demand a strategic and systemic approach to excellence if those habits are to become ingrained.
Ask yourself:
Do you have an operational excellence strategy and systematic approach in place that is measurably improving the customer experience?
Can you identify what your most important operational processes are – those that are required for transformative change?
Is your operational framework guiding employees toward repeatable, optimized behavior and habits?
If you answered no to any of the above, then you need to be in New York this March. The 10th Annual Operational Excellence in Financial Services Summit is taking place in March, and promises an innovative and inspiring speaker faculty that will unveil their strategies and toolsets for embedding enterprise-wide operational excellence and creating habits that stick.
Whether you are struggling with workflow management, data and customer analytics, leadership engagement, business architecture, managing change or talent development (or all of the above), this year's Operational Excellence in Financial Services Summit will help you go from passenger to driver in your quest for operational excellence.

On July 22 the Price city council met to discuss the possibility of giving prior notice to citizens who have trees that need to be trimmed for utility or safety purposes. The issue has been brought forth during previous meetings, however no resolution was made.
One of the problems that councilmember Kathy Smith described was the lack of aesthetic detail that is utilized when the city trims trees. Smith who requested the clarification, would like the city to give prior notice to residents who own trees that need to be trimmed. However city street supervisor Scott Olsen, who was present found errors with the idea of prior notice because it puts the city in a liable position if an accident were to occur.
"We only trim trees based on safety issues like obstructed stop signs or lights," said Olsen during the meeting.
The city only trims private trees for two reasons, safety issues and electrical ones. And while the city streets department takes care of the safety obstructions, the power company typically handles electrical lines as they are trained to do so. But after a lengthy discussion, the council decided that notice should be given when possible, but that the public's education on the issues is more important.
"People need to be aware of what their trees are doing. Citizens should take care of as much as they can." said councilmember Jeanne McEvoy.
A motion was passed to further educate the city streets about cutting trees as well as a more informative public education campaign.
"We need to educate our citizens about their responsibilities," said mayor Joe Piccolo.
Utilities were also a part of the agenda, as the city's sewer cleaning project from last year has been paid for with $19,852.65 going to Twin D Environmental Services. However an additional $1,400 was added to accommodate for living expense increases. The additional $1,400 was still below the next lowest bid for the job. For the coming year's sewer cleaning project, the council moved to open the project to bid again as it's costs have changed.
Out of town county projects including the Children's Justice Center Senior Citizens Center and the Carbon County Sheriff's Office are in need of fiber optic cable for internet access. The council agreed to support the county by sharing it's lines through a cost sharing agreement. For the lines to reach the new facilities, the county will finance a new electrical pole to reach them.
"Happy wiring," said Piccolo to Barry Horsley from Carbon County.
Other communication issues that were brought forth included Emery Telcom's proposal to improve it's infrastructure, and while the council has yet to make a decision Emery Telcom would like a longer commitment from the city.
"It's difficult to justify spending millions of dollars for a project with just a five year guarantee." said Emery Telcom's representative Jared Anderson, who would like to see the city commit to a 15 year agreement, or one that is divided into five year renewals. The issue was tabled until August 12, so councilmembers could read over the proposal and decided.
Finally the council looked into the issue of the Price City Auditorium, as the facility has fallen into disrepair. According to Smith the auditorium is in need of better lighting as well as a thorough cleaning, but as many other problems exist, it was unclear what should be done first.
Last year the city budgeted $30,000 for an assessment of the auditorium, and while it was spend on a heating and air conditioning system, the facility is still in need of other repairs.
"We need the right order of repairs and to do this, we need a good assessment," concluded Piccolo.

I write a set of productivity tools that sells online and have tens of thousands of users. While we do get very good feedback, this tends to come from only the most vocal users, so we fear we might be missing the big picture.
We would like to know if there is any off the shelf (or nearly so) solution to capture usage of different features and to report usage patterns and trends over time.
Note: These tools are native apps, not web-based. I know about Google Analytics and the like. They're great, but I'm looking for native code solutions.

LENOX, Mass. — Bjorn Somlo, chef-owner of Nudel Restaurant, has been nominated one of the top 100 inventive chefs for The People's Best New Chef award for Food and Wine magazine.
This is Somlo's third nomination for an award honoring up-and-coming innovators who have run their own kitchens for five years or fewer.
Somlo is the chef-owner of Nudel Restaurant, a creative American bistro on Church Street, which takes its inspiration from the bounty provided by local farms and food producers of the Berkshire region. He is committed to using local, organic, ethical and natural ingredients whenever and as much as possible.
Somlo started out bussing tables at the county fair when he was 16 years old. Since then, he has worked in the kitchens of restaurants across the region. After living in New Orleans and New York City and working abroad, he returned home to the Berkshires. Somlo opened Nudel in August of 2009 and has been nominated one time for Rising Star Chef and three times for Best Chef: Northeast by the James Beard Foundation.
"Nudel's success is the result of collaboration and partnerships in the Berkshires and Hudson Valley and I am so fortunate to play a part in this food community," Somlo said. "I am honored to be nominated for this Food and Wine award and extend my recognition to the incredible farmers, artisans and purveyors I have the privilege of working with."
Restaurants' devotees will determine The People's Best New Chef winner by voting here beginning today at 10 a.m. and continuing through March 31 at 5 p.m.
LENOX, Mass. — A slate of culinary experts with local ties will display their skills using New England's first harvest of the year — maple syrup.
Berkshire Grown holds its annual March Maple Dinner on March 18 at Cranwell Resort to benefit the organization and Share the Bounty, which buys shares in local farms for food pantries.
This year's March Maple Dinner chefs cut their cooking teeth at either Wheatleigh or Blantyre in Lenox and Stockbridge. Many of these young chefs went on to other triumphs — Brian Young is now executive chef at Tavern on the Green in New York City; Hung Huynh, winner of "Top Chef Season 3," is now executive chef at The General, also in New York City.
Their hearts, however, have remained in the Berkshires and this is the first time all seven will gather to produce a meal in support of Berkshire Grown.
The maple-inspired five-course dinner features these creative chefs:
Jeffrey Thompson, executive chef at Wheatleigh
Brian Young, former cook at Wheatleigh and executive chef at Tavern on the Green
Hung Huynh, former cook at Wheatleigh, "Top Chef" winner and executive chef at The General
Chris Brooks, former executive chef at Blantyre, current owner of The Chef at Your Table catering company and chef at Austin Riggs
Michael Roller, former executive chef of Blantyre and current owner of Savory Harvest Catering
Shirl Gard, former pastry chef at Wheatleigh and current pastry chef at The Old Inn On The Green
Host chef Carl Deluce, executive chef at Cranwell Resort
The event also features of live auction for a wine dinner for eight at The Old Inn on the Green, and a one-week stay at Casa Miel, a home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
The evening begins at 6 with hors d'oeuvres and a complimentary tasting of beverages by Barrington Brewery, Berkshire Mountain Distillers & M.S. Walker Wines with a cash bar available. Dinner follows at 7 with courses featuring maple syrup from local farms.
Tickets, by reservation only, are $100 for Berkshire Grown members, $125 for non-members. For reservations call the Berkshire Grown office at 413-528-0041.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The ninth annual Food of Love (A Celebration of Shakespeare, Love, and Chocolate) will take place at the Williams Inn on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 10. Doors will open at 3:30 p.m.
Food of Love is a benefit for the Fall Festival of Shakespeare at Mount Greylock Regional High School, which will be celebrating its 30th anniversary next November. At this event, the audience will enjoy a chocolate buffet, provided by the Williams Inn, while high school actors present some of Shakespeare's scenes — comic, tragic and always romantic.
This year's theme is "Love Interrupted," with scenes where love might be ill suited, just declared, or not quite resolved. In addition to Shakespeare's work, some scenes from David Ives plays will also be included for a contemporary take on the theme.
Seating is limited. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students, available at Where'd You Get That?!, Wild Oats Market and at the door.
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Author and professor Michael Klare will discuss food and world security on Monday, Dec 3, at the Clark Lecture Hall in the Fisher Science Building at Simon's Rock.
The Edible Education event is presented by Berkshire Co-op Market, Berkshire Grown and Bard College at Simon's Rock.
Klare, Five Colleges Program professor of Peace and World Security Studies, will talk about issues such as the future of food, how climate change could affect farming, food production and corporate land grabs and the effects of population growth on food supply.
For years, Klare has focused his studies on world security. Along with his work at Hampshire College and the Five College Extension, he has been the defense correspondent for The Nation Magazine and has published two books, "Resource Wars and Blood and Oil: The Dangers" and "Consequences of America's Growing Petroleum Dependency."
Klare also serves on the boards of directors of Human Rights Watch and the Arms Control Association. He is a regular contributor to many publications including The Nation, TomDispatch, Mother Jones, and is a frequent columnist for Foreign Policy In Focus. He also was the narrator of the documentary "Blood and Oil," which was produced by the Media Education Foundation.

The Sea Monster I Saw
(A true account)
Age: About 11 years old (I was in 7th grade.)
Date: Possibly February 3, 1933 (It was unseasonably warm, and I remember thinking that normally I'd be wearing a sweater.)
Place: Stewart's Point, California (About 90 miles above San Francisco on Coast #1 Highway. The land is still privately owned and is rugged.)
Occasion: I was alone sitting on a 150' cliff writing poetry. I looked up, saw it, didn't believe it, closed my eyes, pinched myself for several seconds, opened my eyes, and it was still there!
Distance: 15-20 miles offshore (It was in the shipping lane.)
Size: 2 ½ freighters in length (I later learned that would be 600'-1000'.) (It made the whales I had watched spouting earlier look very small.)
Thoughts: "No fire coming out of its mouth… That's silly—only a fairy tale! Well, the Chinese must have had some reason for their Dragon Day celebration… He looks so proud and friendly. His head is something like a horse's head. I'm not scared, although I guess he could pick me off this cliff, if he wanted to… He's too big to be called a serpent—too thick. I can't see them, but I can imagine feet or paddlers under the humps for propulsion.
Wonder how long he'll stay… He's not moving or traveling. Well, as long as you're there, I may as well analyze you. Skin? How do I describe it? Not scales… not armor plating… light and dark areas of oil paint pulled out with a palette knife! Is that a nostril or an eye halfway between? It's very large!.. It's mouth is not open, so can't see teeth---or fire… He is pleasant-looking, but not "smiling". There's a bump on top of the head, but only a slight one. Is it an ear?.. a spout hole? No… He is charcoal gray in color—not black like the whales I saw spouting and playing a while ago out there. No whales in sight now! He has two thick humps and a very thick tail, and I can see water under the humps. He's in the shipping lane… but the size! Two-and-a-half freighters long?! Wow! I wonder how long he has lived… He could be as old as time…
He's still there. What else can I look for? No fins… No gills… No flippers or appendages. Guess that's all I can see… Wish I had a camera. No one will believe me… Wonder how he'll submerge… There he goes! Just slowly sinking down, as is, like a giant tub toy. I knew he was a monster—not a serpent! A sea serpent would have straightened out as he nosed down. He's heading north, like the whales. I'll sit here awhile and see if he comes up again…" (He didn't, although I waited a long time!)

COPENHAGEN The results from a recent survey of 92 middle school students at Copenhagen Central School suggest students are embracing the new KnightPad iPad program.
On a typical school day, students use their iPads between four and seven periods out of 10 periods a day, said Darlene M. Rowsam, Copenhagen technology coordinator.
In October, each student from sixth to eighth grade received an iPad. The survey found that at home, 41 percent of students used the iPad for less than an hour while 34 percent used theirs for less than two hours.
A minimal amount said that they used it more than that, which is what we want to see. We dont want them to become so tethered to technology that it affects their social activities, Ms. Rowsam said.
About 20 students were out sick when the survey was given.
The school regulates the computer tablet. Only educational applications are uploaded, and all Internet traffic is filtered. Typical apps include iBook, Keynotes, My Big Campus and iMovie. In English class, students have access to their textbooks and may make notes from the text.
It lets them be more independently driven, English teacher Charity M. Smykla said.
Some students, such as Alex J. Herzberg, are even searching out more ways to enhance their learning.
I like it. Im still getting used to it, but it offers a lot of ability to go to websites like (Lizardpoint.com), Alex said.
He demonstrated to history teacher Mike Thomson how to find the world geography-testing website.
They think of it as an instructional tool, not gaming. ... Its a good step forward, Mr. Thomson said.
It teaches them to be critical searchers, Ms. Rowsam said.
Students who are encouraged to use their iPads for finding an answer feel invested in their education, she said. Survey comments include I like that teachers think were more responsible and it helps for one-on-one with the teachers or I have more control over my things and I know where everything is. I also learn better from it!
It used to be standard, standard, standard, Ms. Smykla said. This school district allows them to be unique in their learning, which is not something education does.
There have been a few complaints about the new system. In the survey, students wrote, Im not a fast typer, There isnt any fun games on it and We depend on them too much. One time did updates and couldnt do any homework for next class. But overall, Ms. Rowsam said, the program seems to be off to an excellent start.

Industrial Ear Barbells
Industrial ear barbells have become very popular in the last years. The concept is simple. The barbell is very similar to a straight steel barbell one one use as a tongue ring, except that it is much longer. The typical size tongue ring is 5/8" and the typical length for an industrial ear barbell is 1 1/4". These are crafted in 316L surgical steel with a 14 gauge straight barbell. The balls on the end are 5mm and 6mm in diameter.

Ah, the joys of summer. Aside from gorging on peaches and nectarines, you have some beach, lake or cabin time coming up, right? At the very least, there'll be a plane ride or a few stolen hours in the sun where you can dig into a book.
Yes, you'll want to take your trashy novel, but how about an anthology ? Anthologies are simply a collection of short stories. There's no reason to think they're academic or stuffy.

Orignal announcements about the Southeastern Utah Energy Producers Association's "Energy Days Symposium" at the College of Eastern Utah included a two day session, but the association has since revamped that program into a one-day event slated for June 16.

There are many attempts to bridge paper digital gap, new artifacts and tools are
being delivered continuously. Many of these artifacts work with paper and
cooperate with other artifacts. Despite the fact that these artifacts are good
enough to perform their work, they tend to be dull in exchanging data and
cooperating with other artifacts. This causes a problem especially when artifact
cooperation is essential. In order to solve this we need to have a standard to
present the data used in the artifacts and facilitate communication among
artifacts. Paper Digital Classes is a new standard that aims at providing a
standard implementation of the artifacts in matters of data exchange and
PDC has a direct industrial impact, this was noticed by Sparbanksstiftelsen Kronan and they have awarded me a scholarship for the project.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Lacrosse team saved the best for last in their 8-7 season-opening win over Elmhurst College at Strong Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Jacob Pritscher scored with 1:03 left in the fourth period, assisted by Matt Kelly, to give the Buccaneers the win. Kelly had tallied unassisted just over a minute earlier to knot the score at 7-all.
Beloit jumped up 2-0 in the first period. Zach Carner got the first goal of the season at 5:29, assisted by Tommy Porkka, before Aidan Whinnery, assisted by Liam O'Connor, scored at 1:48.
Elmhurst came storming back in the second period with four goals to take a 4-3 lead at the break. The first two Bluejay goals came with the man advantage. Whinnery scored his second goal, assisted by Pritscher, at 6:36 to tie it at three before Elmhurst scored at 3:56 for the halftime advantage.
The teams entered the fourth period tied at five after Carner scored his second goal, assisted by Xavier Ward, and Porkka scored unassisted at the 5:59 mark in the third period.
Porkka made it two straight scores just over four minutes into the fourth before EC grabbed a 7-6 lead on back-to-back scores, the second a man up, which set the stage for Kelly and Pritscher's late-game heroics.
Trevor Kenahan made nine saves in net for the win.
The Bucs won both the shots and ground balls game, 30-26 on shots and 23-18 on ground balls. They also won 11 faceoffs to Elmhurst's five and had eight clears to the Bluejays' seven.
The Buccaneers stay at home with a Wednesday game against Fontbonne University at Strong. Action begins at 4:30 p.m.

Of course my wife would never agree with me—she's less of a Notre Dame fan than she is an ardent despiser of the Ducks—but as the title of this little rant indicates, the big news this week is that the Oregon Ducks got screwed out of the #1 spot on the BCS rankings again. Three weeks in a row, the #1 team (Alabama, Ohio State and Oklahoma, respectively) was knocked off the top. After Alabama was defeated and Ohio State took their place, Oregon moved up to #2 spot, where they remain. Since Ohio States' defeat the following week, a lower-ranked team has passed both Boise State (#3) and Oregon to steal the top spot! One would expect, as I do, that if the top ranked teams is defeated, then the #2 team should take their spot. Am I right?
Well not according to the BCS' f'ing computer system! How can it be that a damn computer program rank the Ducks #11 when every human poll has them ranked at #1, where, in my not-so-humble opinion, they belong? I don't understand it—though I do. I don't want to understand it—though I must. The answer, of course: statistics.
Statistics, however, is not the reason why I've been cursing the BCS or #1 team and their fans, hoping that they will crash and burn during the next week's game. The problem is that ever since I've become what I like to call a "pilgrim in an unholy land" (Pennsylvania), I've become strongly attached to all that is Oregon, the Ducks being especially salient in that they represent my alma mater (and my wife's but she hates them). It's as if they have somehow been incorporated into my social identity—my in-group—and their neglect in the rankings have made me prone to fits of rage! I wonder if this realization explains my hatred for the top team? I wonder if this hatred is unusual?
Well, according to Nicholas Dixon (2001), who has written on the ethics of sports fans, would probably say, yes, it is unusual. Dixon believes that loyalty to one's team is ultimately a "good," because fan loyalty does not equate to harshness towards other teams or their fans. I believe I challenge that notion. Still, I don't think Dixon is familiar with the inter-group literature, because the majority of that literature would predict that a strong-identifier, like me, would do about anything, even derogating the other teams publicly, to insure my in-group's superior status….
Thankfully, though, while my feelings are strong in the matter, the ethical side of my conscious is clear; I haven't stooped to outgroup derogation that this literature suggests (see Branscombe & Wann, 1994, for a review) I would. Nope. I haven't gone out of my way to publicly bash the undeserving numskulls at Auburn (the current #1 ranked team), or their idiot fans who probably bribed the programmers over at the BCS to move them up to the top spot from #4 when they clearly deserve to be rotting at the bottom of the rankings….
Did I just write that?

A group of local residents marched along Main Street last Friday to protest against the Division of Child and Family Services and is calling for changes in how the family court system works.
Protestor Jay Daugherty said the small group of four protestors spent about six hours total holding signs and handing out information about the changes they would like to see.
The local protest was one of many not only around the state, but across the country as well, Daugherty said. Other protests in the state were being held in cities including Salt Lake City, Ogden, Farmington, Moab and Cedar City.
The Government Abuse official website said the group is no longer wanting to tolerate unjust laws and watching as tax dollars are used to separate and financially demolish families.
The group wants to see the court system make every effort to be made for children, when taken out of the home for reasons, to stay with grandparents and other family members instead of being placed into foster care, according to the Government Abuse website.
Another area they are looking to see be reformed is with assigned judges. The group is hoping that a reformed system would be implemented so that judges, who cannot be voted out of their offices, be held to the same standard as politicians with regards to voting.
Daugherty said the protest, while not heavily attended, was a good way to get the word out to the public.
"We plan on coming out to protest next year as well," he said.

'Our worst case scenario is we shut the sheriff's office down'
GOLD BEACH, Ore. - Curry County voters defeated a tax proposal to fund law enforcement.
"At the end of this fiscal year, which is June 30 of 2014, we're out of money," said Curry County Sheriff John Bishop. "Our worst case scenario is we shut the sheriff's office down: no civils, no court security, no jail, no patrol, nothing."
The county will try again in May. If the measure fails again, County Commissioner David Smith said the county will work with the governor to file a state of emergency in what would be the first test of a new Oregon law. New legislation allows counties to impose emergency taxes if public safety is threatened.
The squeeze comes from the end of direct payments to counties from the federal treasury meant to compensate for lost timber revenues.
"Now we have to look at different issues," Bishop said. "Do we cut jail staffing, do we cut patrol safety - we have to cut somewhere."
The sheriff's office is already short staff.
"There's a lot of time there's one deputy on for the whole county," the sheriff said, "and then there's times there's no deputies on, and that's now."
Curry County voters did show support for a measure to replace Curry General Hospital.
"When it came clear that we're not voting just for a new hospital and something nice to work in but a continuation of health care here, I think that made it pretty easy for most people to vote," said Andrew Bair, the hospital's CEO.
The bond will give Curry General access to $20 million to replace their hospital, "n amount that we think is reasonable to be able to build a modern facility that will provide health care here through the next several decades," Bair said.
Not all voters in Oregon got ballots for the special election Tuesday. With county wide measures, Curry County voters turned out, with 61 percent of registered voters casting ballots.
