Nokia 206 was officially announced back in late November and the Finnish company promised that the feature phones would be available for purchase beginning Q4 2012 for around $65/€45.
According to Nokia, this budget-friendly handset is aimed at the emerging market, hence the cheap price and low features.
Although Nokia 206 made it to Nigeria and Indonesia last year, it looks like Indian customers had to wait until late January to get the phone.
Infibeam is among the first major retailers that offers the Nokia 206 in India. Customers who wish to purchase the feature phone should know that it only costs Rs 3,619 off contract, which is about $65/€50.
Other Indian retailers may sell the low-budget handset, but Infibeam seems to have one of the best offers on the mobile phone. Check it out here.
Nokia 206 has been confirmed to arrive in black, cyan, white, magenta and yellow, but for the time being, Infibeam only offers the white version. However, we expect that the retailer will stock additional Nokia 206 color versions in the next few days.
Nokia has previously announced that it will launch two 206 versions: a single-SIM and a dual-SIM model. As expected, Indian customers will be able to grab the latter rather than the former.
Specs-wise, Nokia 206 is far from being impressive. The phone sports a small 2.4-inch display that supports 320 x 240 pixels resolution and a 1.3-megapixel rear camera.
On the inside, the handset packs up to 10MB of internal memory and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
The phone's 1100 mAh Li-Ion battery has been rated by the manufacturer for up to 680 hours of standby time or up to 20 hours of talk time.
Nokia 206 ships with several useful apps and services, including Nokia Slam, Xpress Browser, Nokia Life, Facebook, eBuddy and Nokia Store.

The 52-times capped scrum-half played three games for the side and feels the move has put him in good stread for September's global tournament.
"It went really well," said Cusiter.
"My knee is 100% healed and it was important for me to get some games under my belt.
"I'm in a good place with World Cup selection coming up.
Cusiter missed 11 months of rugby, including the 2011 RBS 6 Nations, but has been included in a provisional squad of 40 ahead of the World Cup.
"I managed the last three games for Glasgow but as everyone went for the off-season I thought I needed a bit more game time," added Cusiter.
"It's was not quite the same level as the Magners League, it's semi-professional, but it was a pretty good standard, with some fantastic players.
"I played three 80 minutes down there and had a great time. I'm certainly fitter than when I went.
"We start pre-season training with Glasgow on Monday and that's going to be a big help as well, doing that fitness work, the weights and conditioning.
"Final selection for the World Cup is in August and that's the big goal for every Scottish rugby player in the squad of 40.
"I'm desperate to be there, desperate to make the team, but there's a lot of hard work to be done between now and then."

This is an update of a story originally published Sept. 28 to include final quarterly results.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Stock mutual-funds came back big in the third quarter, in more ways than one.
After a dismal spring, investors in U.S. stock funds enjoyed a classic late summer rally. Interest-rate and inflation concerns diminished, allowing buyers to breathe easier and focus on continued strong corporate earnings results.
"Quality is on sale," said John Linehan, manager of the T. Rowe Price Value Fund TRVLX, +0.27% which invests mostly in large-capitalization stocks.
The difference this time is what qualifies as quality: big companies offering predictable growth rates and robust balance sheets at attractive prices.
"Large caps look as cheap as they have in decades," Linehan said.
A bit less cheap, actually, as shares of the biggest stocks handily outdid smaller rivals in the quarter. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.28% approached its all-time high, set in January 2000. Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 5.2% in the quarter through Sept. 29 -- the U.S. market benchmark's best third-period showing since 1997.
Large-stock funds enjoyed the ride. Funds that follow the S&P 500 added 5.5% on average, according to from fund researcher Lipper Inc. Among actively managed portfolios, large-cap value funds led the charge, up 5.4%, with large-cap core funds a close second, posting a 4.8% return.
Even beleaguered large-cap growth rebounded with a 2.6% average quarterly gain, and the category's five-year record -- shredded in the technology-sector bust -- is again in the black.
Mixed bag
Still, it seems this party is moving into the wee hours. The U.S. economy is slowing and corporate profits growth is expected to decline, depressed by a slump in residential housing prices and wary consumers. The average diversified U.S. stock fund added a modest 2% in the quarter, reflecting poor sentiment for small- and midcap offerings.
As corporate earnings-growth prospects wane, so do investors' collective fears of unbridled inflation, soaring energy costs and an aggressive Federal Reserve. The largest U.S. funds, which by nature are heavily invested in blue-chip stocks, offered a window on the changing landscape. For example, American Funds Investment Company of America AIVSX, +0.00% with $84.3 billion under wraps, gained 4.1%, while Vanguard 500 Index Fund VFINX, +0.13% at $109.6 billion, rose 5.6%.
When profits growth is scarce, earnings predictability and visibility matter more. Buyers will pay for shares of companies that are considered likely to deliver. Accordingly, investors nowadays are shouldering a mixed bag of caution and confidence about U.S. stocks, leading them to embrace funds that are staked to large companies with dominant market share, deep cash reserves, a history of dividend growth, and experience playing defense in difficult times.
"In that environment, you're going to see naturally a bit of an increase in risk aversion that manifests itself in the movement away from small-caps to large-caps," said David Joy, chief market strategist for RiverSource Investments, a unit of Ameriprise Financial Inc.
'The Fed is finished; they will not need to raise rates again. As a result, stocks can do fairly well.'
Indeed, savvy stock-fund investors this quarter listened to the bond market and its finely tuned sensitivity to economic and geopolitical signals. The Fed's recent pauses in its series of short-term rate hikes, and an increasing sense that the next direction for U.S. rates is down, sparked a bond rally that paved the way for large-cap funds and landed small-cap and midcap funds in a ditch.

Statement by the Honourable Bernard Valcourt
Ref. #2-3760
OTTAWA, ONTARIO (February 22, 2013) – The Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, today issued the following statement:
"It is with humility that I welcome the Prime Minister's decision to appoint me as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. I would like to thank the Prime Minister for placing his confidence in me on this most important file.
Our Government has made significant progress in improving outcomes for Aboriginal peoples across Canada. We have built new schools, invested in clean drinking water systems, built thousands of new homes, increased funding for services for the most vulnerable members of First Nations communities, and invested in hundreds of projects to link Aboriginal people with job training services. But there is more to do.
This January, the Government committed itself to a high-level dialogue on the treaty relationship and comprehensive claims. I am firmly of the view that working together is the best way to achieve our shared objective of healthier, more prosperous and self-sufficient Aboriginal communities.
I look forward to meeting with Aboriginal leaders in the weeks and months to come. I also welcome the opportunity to work with the Territorial governments across the North on our shared priorities.
Our Government remains committed to working with those Aboriginal leaders who want to work with the Government of Canada to create jobs and growth in their communities."

The Wild needed to take a few deep breaths the other night at Madison Square Garden. The pressure that accompanies a two-month (and counting) playoff push in the NHL's airtight Western Conference was getting to the players.
Coach Todd Richards could relate.
"It feels as if I'm swimming in the ocean and it's hard to get a breath here," he said after the Wild rallied to defeat the New York Rangers 3-1. "You feel like you keep getting pulled down a little bit because there's no time to relax at all."
The Wild required more than 17 minutes before they recorded their first shot on goal against the Rangers. By then they trailed 1-0 and looked in over their heads.
But Richards reminded them at the first intermission that "one shot and we're back in it," forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard said. The Rangers started strong, he added. "After the first, we just said to be patient and we'll get some chances."
Kyle Brodziak buried the first early chance in the second period for Minnesota's first goal and said later the Wild were "uptight" because confidence was already frayed by losses to the Chicago Blackhawks and New York Islanders earlier in the week.
However, he said, "We just did a good job of letting it go in the second and third and just trying to play hockey."
Richards has seen this team bounce back before and, despite being outshot again, he remained calm in the team's dressing room after one period.
"The thing that we really wanted to get across is just relax," he said. "And it's easy for me to sit there and say 'relax'; guys have to go out and play.
The difference in shots was crazy: The Rangers totaled 41 and the Wild 19, but Wild goalie Jose Theodore stopped 40.
Richards has stated he does not care about the number of shots on goal, only scoring chances and shots that go in.
Good thing.
The Wild have been outshot 57 times in 65 games this season, but they have a 31-22-4 record while being outshot.
Gillies suspended: Islanders forward Trevor Gillies received a 10-game suspension from the NHL on Friday for his hit to the head of Wild forward Cal Clutterbuck on Wednesday night at Nassau Coliseum.
The suspension, coming just one game after Gillies served a nine-game suspension for another hit to the head, will cost him $60,975.60 in salary.
Colin Campbell, the NHL vice president of hockey operations, said, "While it is fortunate there was no injury on the play, there can be no justification for a player delivering a dangerous check to an opponent in this manner."
Briefly: The Wild traveled home from New York on Thursday night and canceled practice Friday.
It was Wellman's second NHL goal, his first coming at the end of last season after he signed as a free agent and played 12 games for Minnesota.

To be quite honest, The Bible Game isn't as lame as I thought it was going to be. It's not great, hell, it's not even good but at least it doesn't totally suck.
This game is interesting enough to keep most kids' attention with a bit of innocent humor adults will appreciate and a Christian rock soundtrack even non-Christians can bear.
Interestingly, the saddest part of The Bible Game is how it manages to completely ignore the core messages of religion in favor of trite Nouveau Christian catchphrases. It's all content without meaning or context.
Underneath the religious overtones is a mediocre party game that shouldn't get much play, even at a Catholic school retreat.
There's not enough biblical depth to warrant a purchase from religious folk, yet the mini-games aren't that engaging, either. It all feels somewhat hokey as well; almost as though you're playing a game that Ned Flanders would buy for his kids.
There is enough to entertain a Christian family, looking to bond on a Saturday night, but novelty will wear off rather quickly. The trivia questions repeat far too often and a few of the Challenge games should have been wiped from the stone tablets.

Book Review
Show Me the Way to Go Home
Toni Morrison's tale of siblings searching for solace has character but lacks resolution
Review by Sam Adams
Like pretty much everything else she's written, Morrison's most recent novel is a work of historical fiction deeply ingrained in social injustices. Home's story revolves around brother and sister Frank and Ycidra (aka "Cee") Money, who grew up in the destitute shantytown of Lotus, Ga. It was a place where, as Frank says in one of the book's many internal monologues, "There was no goal other than breathing, nothing to win and, save for somebody else's quiet death, nothing to survive or worth surviving for."

Md. House Passes Fee On Companies Wanting To Drill
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland House of Delegates has approved charging a $15 fee per acre on energy companies seeking to drill in Marcellus Shale to pay for studies on best practices of natural gas extraction.
The House voted 94-41 on Tuesday for the measure, which would make Maryland the first state to require such a fee.
Supporters say Maryland must move carefully and study the environmental impact of drilling in the Marcellus Shale in western Maryland. But opponents contend Maryland is simply running the risk of chasing job-creating businesses out of the state.
Supporters say the fee would raise at least $1.8 million to pay for studies that currently have no other funding.
The measure now goes to the Senate, where supporters concede it could face challenges.

>>Quinn, Polish President Visit Troops
(Marseilles, IL) -- Governor Pat Quinn and Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski surprised soldiers at the Marseilles Training Center yesterday. Polish troops are trained on the site. Fifteen people, including Quinn and 13 soldiers, were honored with the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, which is given to foreigners for distinguished contribution to international cooperation with Poland. The visit by Polish dignitaries came while international leaders met in Chicago for the NATO Summit. Quinn also met with leaders from the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, and Italy.
>>Southern Illinois Murder Trial Underway
(Murphysboro, IL) -- The trial of a man accused of killing someone with the Carbondale police chief's stolen gun is underway. Jury selection got started early this morning at the Jackson County courthouse in the case against Matthew Jones. He's facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting Deaunta Spencer after the two had a fight. The gun used in the shooting is said to be the one stolen from the police chief's car last June, but Jones is not accused of taking the firearm.
>>State Offering Foreclosure Assistance
(Vernon Hills, IL) -- The state is offering free help to homeowners who may be facing foreclosure. Governor Quinn's Mortgage Relief Project will be visiting the College of Lake County on Saturday, June 9th from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The free seminar will help connect homeowners with all available assistance, resources and knowledge to help them keep their homes. For more information or to receive immediate assistance in advance of the event, call 800-532-8785 during regular business hours or visit www.idfpr.com.
>>Recall On Diced red Onions
(Undated) -- There's a recall on diced red onions. Gills Onions LLC is recalling more than 23-hundred pounds of onions is said to be tainted with Listeria. The onions were sold in thirteen states, including Illinois, and have an expiration date of May 14th, 15th, and 17th, 2012. No illnesses have been reported.
>>NATO Leaders Back At McCormick Place For Summit
(Chicago, IL) -- Leaders from NATO are going to be back at Chicago's McCormick Place today for Day Two of the NATO summit. The delegates are expected to finalize an agreement pulling all troops out of Afghanistan by 2014. They also are going to talk about a potential missile defense shield and how to strengthen alliances with non-NATO members. Protestors plan on moving towards Chicago-based Boeing in hopes of shutting it down.
>>Gambling Expansion Expected To Get Another Look
(Springfield, IL) -- Two key state lawmakers involved in gambling legislation are predicting that the legislature will vote on an expansion bill before the end of the month. The question is whether Governor Pat Quinn will soften his opposition to slot machines at horse racing tracks. The bill would allow new casinos in Chicago, Rockford, Danville, near Waukegan and in the south Chicago suburbs. It also would allow slot machines at racetracks.
>>Budget Would Have 'Drastic' Effect On School Districts
(Springfield, IL) -- If the current budget resolution is passed, the Springfield School District and others could see a significant drop in state aid. In Springfield, that money accounts for about 30-percent of the education fund budget. For the 2011-12 school year, the district received 36-million dollars in general state aid. If the resolution passes, the district could see a drop of close to six-million dollars. Budget writers say the proposed cuts to education spending would affect dozens of school districts across the state in a similar fashion.
>>Attacks Reported Inside St. Clair County Jail
(St. Clair County, IL) -- Three inmates are facing charges in two recent attacks inside the St. Clair County Jail. In a May 11th fight at the jail, an inmate bit off a piece of a man's ear and flushed it down a toilet. The St. Clair County Sheriff's Department says the fight was over gambling debts from a dice game. The 18-year-old victim lost the top part of one of his ears and was treated at a hospital for his injuries. On May 3rd, a pregnant woman was stabbed by another inmate in a holding area. Her fetus was not injured. Charges have been filed in both cases.

The residence time distributions in the reference aquifers are established using available data, and augmented using new dating and conservative tracer techniques (CFCs, 3He/3H, 85Kr, 39Ar).
The age of water can be determined by measuring relative amounts of parent and daughter isotopes. Different methods, based on isotope and tracer techniques, are used in BaSeLiNe to date waters of different ages (Figure 1).
Historical data on groundwater quality and evolution for selected sites in the reference aquifers are being evaluated to interpret trends in quality over the decades since the aquifers began to be exploited.
These trends in water quality are important for understanding the changes in natural baseline and anthropogenic influences.

Macintosh OS X Security - Second Lesson -
The early adopters have been using OSX 10.0 for the better part of two weeks now. Early adopters, while not all the UNIX gurus and application developers Apple targeted the release for, are zealous, ambitious and daring- perhaps too much so.
As I stated in my previous
Mac OS X Security overview
, Mac OS X is a completely new operating system to most Mac users. Its UNIX under pinnings are foreign to the point-and-click community. The interface is certainly foreign to anyone but NeXT/OpenStep users and Mac OS X Server administrators. Even to this select group OSX has a large amount of new and changed schemes and strategies, making the conversion to the platform a bit daunting. And even to the UNIX users, Mac OS X is part alien with its revised directory structure and customized binaries.
With all the foreign elements of Mac OS X it is important to approach the system with a certain degree of caution. Gone are the days when a Mac user can install an application, restart and then worry about what it does, removing it quite easily from service if any issue is detected. Virus software, tossed in the bottom desk drawer, now requires a second thought. A whole new outlook on security is required at this point in order to maintain data integrity and personal safety.
The previous article described several methods, which can help maintain security in any computer system. These steps are absolutely imperative to security and, without them, any further steps to ensure safety will be fruitless. Practice these methods religiously and effectively cut 95% of all hack attempts, malicious vandalism or virus attacks.
Beyond these basic steps, users can take advanced steps to ensure security on their new system. The best tip here is not doing anything. When the OS shipped, Apple had security on the brain. The system state directly after installation is the most secure point in the systems entire life cycle. Its the moment user accounts are added, preferences set, and sharing methods are opened that the system becomes susceptible to attack or failure.
Of course the whole point of having the computer, and connecting it to the Internet, is to use it, customize it and to share it. But caution should be taken when making such modifications. When adding a user via the User preference panel, ensure that the password is and will remain secure. Do not give Administrator access to every account. In fact, most systems will only need a single administrator account, while the rest may safely remain users.
Adding customized applications to the system can sometimes open up communication ports on the machine. Unbenounced to the user, this new application might even allow communication two an from a system from a remote server, even without warning. A perfect example of this kind of software is the Software Updater. This application contacts Apple Computer on a daily or weekly basis and allows Apple to install items onto your system. I am not suggesting that you turn off Software Update or even worry about it, because if you cant trust Apple, who can you trust? There are, however, several other types of applications that use Software Version Control to update software after communicating with a remote server, similar to the way the Software Updater does, but not from such a trustworthy source. If you find this option in a freshly installed application, it would be advisable to turn it off and use VersionTracker.com or similar resource to find the latest updates.
File and web sharing is a great way to get an instant Internet presence or connect to remote resources. It is also a great way to allow all sorts of malicious and maligned individuals access to personal data. There is always a new exploit found for this version of that software or a patch released to fix security issues in another. For this reason, use file and web sharing carefully. If the machine will not be used for remote Command Line Interface access, do not turn on the option for it in the Sharing preference panel. Also, not everyone needs a web site running from his or her daily workhorse. Most users have web server access via their Internet Service Provider and can simply leave the local web server off. FTP access is another oft not used feature that can most likely be turned off. File sharing with AppleShare of IP is probably adequate for most users.
Beyond not modifying the system from its install state, there are a few changes anyone can make to the system to help make it even more secure. SSH is Secure Shell and can be used to replace the telnet access provided with the operating system. Apple actually planned on bundling this security package with the system but licensing issues delayed it. Look for a patch from Apple to enable this option. Until then, OpenSSH is available on the web at Mac OS X.org and other related sites.
Keeping the system updated with the latest patches and software versions is also a great way to stay secure. As exploits are found in a particular software package, a company will release a patch or revision that will help close the hole. Apple will probably assist Mac OS X users with this task better then most other UNIX distributions but this remains to be seen. It might be required that the user be aware of these issues. SecureMac.com is a great place to stay up to date concerning these matters.
File permissions are a particularly sensitive area with regards to security. In its basic state, file permissions are of no consequence. When sharing methods are opened, however, these same permissions become a very large part of system security. It is not easy to modify the file permissions from the Graphical User Interface in Mac OS X but anyone who decides to dive into the CLI should take special care not to create any security holes when issuing commands via the command line. Information about file permissions and the CLI in general may be found in Mac OS X.orgs CLI Tutorials.
The key to secure commuting in the Mac OS X world is to be conscious of the environment, to stay up to date and to cautious of any changes made. Coupled with the basic steps for computer security outlined in part one of this article, these methods will help ensure a successful, safe and secure Mac OS X experience.

About 55 million Europeans migrated to the New World between 1850 and 1914, landing in North and South America and in Australia. This movement, which marked a profound and permanent shift in global population and economic activity, is described in vivid detail by Timothy J. Hatton and Jeffrey G. Williamson, and the causes and effects relative to this great relocation are soundly analysed. The Age of Mass Migration offers a thorough treatment of a period of vital development in the economic history of the modern world and, moreover, devotes much objective consideration to certain economic questions that still baffle us today: Why does a nation's emigration
rate typically rise with early industrialization? How do immigrants choose their destinations? Are international labour markets segmented? Do immigrants truly "rob" jobs from locals? What impact do immigrants have on wage rates and living standards in the host country? In addressing these issues, and many of others, this book takes a new and comprehensive view of mass migration. Although somewhat controversial in terms of method—it assigns to a social phenomenon an economic explanation and interpretation— The Age of Mass Migration will be useful to all students of migration, historical or contemporary, and to anyone interested in international economic
Readership: Economists and academics.
Timothy J. Hatton, Professor of Economics, University of Essex, and Jeffrey G. Williamson, Laird Bell Professor of Economics, Harvard University
"'(The authors) have painstakingly pieced together historical data sets from diverse sources and conducted rigorous analyses to provide an understanding of the economic fundamentals of European mass migration. ... Hatton and Williamson are to be congratulated for weaving together a series of empirically rigorous studies of European emigration into a superbly written and edited volume ... should be on the must-read list of scholars interested in the labour market impacts of contemporary immigration to the United States.'

Kyle Sweeney had a very tight schedule to keep as his plane landed at Norfolk Airport near Virginia Beach on May 18th. The defenseman had only a short time to hustle to the Virginia Beach Sportsplex, where his Philadelphia Barrage were opening their season against the Washington Bayhawks.
Arriving about 15 minutes before the opening whistle, Sweeney shook off travel and helped his team to a 17-12 victory. But the win was barely savored as Sweeney left to catch his return flight maybe an hour after sealing the win.
"I was in Virginia Beach for about six hours, and two of them were playing the game," Sweeney recalled. "That's just the way it goes sometimes…it's not easy, but this is what we do. Once you're on the field, you're on the field."
Keeping such a frenetic schedule is exactly what Barrage players have done this summer. After ownership troubles in Philadelphia couldn't be solved, the league had to determine what to do with a franchise without a home.
Not wanting to dissolve their most successful team, Major League Lacrosse executives ruled the Barrage would become a "traveling show," playing all 12 games of the 2008 season on the road. Seven would be traditional away games, and five were declared "home" games, with the Barrage "hosting" another team in a unique location.
A week after the contest in Virginia Beach, the Barrage hosted the Long Island Lizards at Texas Stadium in Dallas. Two weeks later, the Barrage played the Chicago Machine at a soccer stadium in St. Louis, Mo. The next week it was off to Cary, N.C. for a rematch with the Rochester Rattlers. The Barrage wrap up their season in Hillsboro, Ore. against the New Jersey Pride.
"The travel thing, it's been a burden a little bit, but it really hasn't been any different than it was before," said Barrage goalie Brian Dougherty. "We're more excited to hang out and travel around the country with guys that we wanted to hang out with."
Most MLL players are seasoned travelers by nature of the league. Since a lacrosse career is more of a part-time job, players need to travel by car, bus, train, or plane to their games every weekend.
"I think traveling is just a part of the league that everyone knows," said Barrage attackman Mike Springer. "You know, you're used to it beforehand, so it's really no big surprise."
But all of this travel, particularly to nontraditional lacrosse destinations, has created a very unique experience for the Barrage.
"I'd say the coolest part is going to see the sport grow across the country," said Sweeney. "You're getting fans who have never seen the game before in person, and that's good, that's helping the sport."
Along with a broad range of lacrosse fans, the host cities provide a broad range of amenities. While in Dallas, the team saw what big-time pro sports enjoy at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys' locker room was a stark contrast to the storage bin the team changed in for the following week's game, Dougherty said.
"We've been in trailers for our locker rooms," Springer listed. "We've had locker rooms with no showers, no bathrooms, stuff like that. It's kind of comical."
The season started with locker room follies. While the Barrage were busy beating the Lizards 17-12 on the field, someone else was busy ransacking their Virginia Beach locker room. When players walked in after the game, they saw their wallets scattered around the floor and most of their iPods and other electronics missing, Dougherty said. A similar thievery befell them a few years ago in Boston. In both cases players made out OK though, as the league and host officials reimbursed them for the stolen goods.
"It never fails the Barrage," said Erin Vosburgh, the team's public relations director, "we always have some interesting things happen."
No longer having an ownership group in Philadelphia, Vosburgh is the Barrage's front office this season. After the league absorbed most duties of team officials, they asked Vosburgh in April if she would like to stay with the team. Working about 15-20 hours a week, not counting weekends where she travels with the team to every game, she handles "the little odds and ends stuff here and there to make sure everyone gets to where they need to be," she said.
Still responsible for typical PR duties like media releases, game stories, and being the point person for all "home" games, Vosburgh's major responsibility this year is travel arrangements for the entire team.
"I am the team's personal assistant and their walking calendar if you will," Vosburgh explained. "Anything that needs to be done, like if they need to change a flight, they need to call me and see if it's ok, and see if I can take care of it for them; so really, from the outside, it would look like I am the personal assistant to all these guys."
Vosburgh handles it all, Dougherty said. "If we didn't have her, I'll be honest with you, we wouldn't be able to do anything. She's the one dealing with all that as far as trying to get everybody there."
Her job gets no easier when rosters are often changed at the last minute and players come from Philadelphia, Maryland, D.C., New York, and New Jersey, all busy hubs for air traffic. Many destinations the team flies to involve laying over and taking shuttles to much smaller airports. Once at the terminal, players almost always have to check their equipment since any of it could be considered a weapon and not fit for carry-on.
"It's very nerve-wracking on my end," Vosburgh said, "because I am in control of booking their flights, so I don't really relax until everyone walks onto the field for pregame warm-up. That's when I kind of take a breath and relax because that's when I know everyone made it there safely, they have all their stuff and what not, so it's a different kind of stress than last year."
Despite all the potential pitfalls, Vosburgh said she has yet to have any major issues. Instead, she is treating this summer as "a once in a lifetime season for us to get to go to all of these places." That positive disposition seems to be reflected by most of the team.
"Everyone has different complaints, but I think everyone's doing pretty good so far," Vosburgh said. "It's trying having to fly to all of these places…but I think in general everyone is doing pretty well with the flying. I haven't heard any major drama with any of the travel so far. Overall, I think everyone is having a good time."
Amongst long flights, layovers, and locker room troubles, the Barrage have managed to squeeze in a little fun on the road. They arrange large team meals whenever possible. If players don't have to rush off to catch a flight right after the game, guys will go out and have a beer just to hang out.
After the game in St. Louis, Dougherty and a few teammates changed their flights and got tickets to the Phillies vs. Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium.
"That, in this league," Dougherty said, "is as big as anything else, just going to a ball game and being regular guys."
"We're probably one of the closest teams in the league," Vosburgh said. "Everyone seems to be having a good time and in good spirits."
Occasionally hanging out before or after games has helped camaraderie, but limited practice time hurt chemistry and defensive play early in the year. With guys coming and going at all different times on weekends, it is very difficult for the team to arrange a full practice, Springer said.
Some teams might get 20-30 guys together the night before a game and hold practice, Dougherty explained, but with everyone flying in at different times, rarely can the Barrage get a full squad assembled for a Friday night session.
The typical schedule for a weekend trip, Sweeney said, has players flying in Friday, usually late. Then they wake up early Saturday and attend a walk through and a team meal. After the game players fly out late that night or early Sunday. That is if the team isn't doing day of game travel, where they fly in that morning and out immediately after the game (which they did for the Virginia Beach and North Carolina trips).
"We refuse to let that be an excuse, " Dougherty said. "We're all professionals here. You have to do what you have to do to be ready to play, wherever the game is."
Like professionals, the Barrage are handling this season quite well. At 5-3, the team is tied with Long Island for the best record in the Easter Conference. They are playing with confidence and urgency. They are two-time defending MLL champs, with a stable of all-star veterans and a winning record. But in a league where only four teams advance to the playoffs, the Barrage will have to stay sharp if they want to shoot for a three-peat.
"The one thing that is scary is you really can't afford to lose more than four games in this league, "Sweeney said. "There's definitely a sense of urgency."
Playoff aspirations for this season's squad are tightly in focus, but no one can clearly see what lies ahead for the Barrage. The sentiment amongst many players is that they would like to find a home in Philly again for 2009, but they are staying positive about potentially moving to one of the new markets they have enjoyed playing in this season. (Virginia Beach seems one of the favorites so far).
If this coming offseason plays out anything like the one prior, the league will probably sort out the Barrage's fate in the middle of the fall, then bring its proposals to the players, who will have to decide if they are in or out.
"In December we will have to sit and talk," Dougherty said, "see where we are based out of and how that fits."
For now though, the only city the Barrage would like to land in is Boston, playing at Harvard Stadium for the MLL Championship, again.
"You never know what's going to happen," Sweeney said. "You could get traded. You could not be good. You could get hit by a bus, who knows. You've got to just play this season, and that's all we can do for right now."

- Dr. Park Young-sook (b. 1932), who worked as a dentist, amassed an impressive collection of traditional household objects, preserving the boudoir culture which flourished during the Joseon Dynasty. Along with her husband, Huh Dong-hwa, the president of the Museum of Korean Embroidery, she has passionately collected Korean cultural properties and donated many traditional household items to the National Museum of Korea.
- Most of her donations are items which were used by women in the main room of the house, including a number of dadeumitdol or "fulling blocks," indicating her special interest and affection for them. Dadeumi or "fulling mallets" were used to beat cloth that was stretched over a block, in order to make it smoother and softer. Fulling is part of the traditional culture of Korea, China, and Japan, though Korea is currently the country doing the most to keep the tradition alive. In this regard, Dr. Park's donation of her dadeumi collection is particularly significant. The dadeumitdol in her collection vary in terms of material, shape, and pattern, allowing their value to be newly appreciated not only as practical household goods, but also as art objects in the field of traditional craft and sculpture. Other items also strike a balance between function and beauty, including examples of indu (small heart-shaped irons), used to straighten creases and set the form of the clothing; charcoal fire irons, for ironing and sterilizing; and a stone brazier for heating iron appliances. In addition, an exquisite mother-of-pearl sewing box conveys the bright, gentle atmosphere of a Joseon-era main room for women.
- Dr. Park's donated items are splendid examples of tools that were regularly used by people in the past to make, trim, and maintain their clothes. Moreover, they allow us to recall the love and devotion of a mother's earnest efforts to care for her family.

Ashton Kutcher to Replace Charlie Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men'
Earlier: The soap opera known as 'Two and a Half Men' keeps getting better and better. No, we don't mean the TV show, we mean the behind-the-scenes casting show.
TV Squad previously reported that Brit Hugh Grant had been in negotiations to replace errant Charlie Sheen in the blockbuster series that has been gilding Warner Bros.' and CBS' coffers for years. The latest news, however, is that Grant is out and -- ready for this? -- Ashton Kutcher is next in line for the role.
Grant's name reportedly came up about a month ago and CBS boss Les Moonves and CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler thought it was a good idea. Talks began and, allegedly, Grant was offered $1 million per episode (though later, insiders at WB downplayed that figure). Grant was close to sealing a deal when the thought of the grind of TV series work made him reconsider and he backed away.
So now add Kutcher's name to the 'Men' wannabes, according to Broadcasting & Cable. Kutcher, of course, is a star of both the small and big screen, with long stints on 'That 70's Show' (1998 - 2006) and 'Punk'd' (2003-07) and has a half dozen rom-com movies under his belt. He'd bring a gigantic constituency to the show (don't forget, he's the king of Tweeters, with 6.7 million followers).
Filling Sheen's shoes is an important goal for WB, which has billions of dollars riding on the series (for original, syndication and cable deals), and it's equally important to CBS, which charges $200,000 per 30-second spot in the sitcom, which is TV's most-watched. Previous names bandied about: John Stamos, Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven.
CBS and Warner Bros. had no comment on this latest development.

Alec Baldwin's MSNBC show "Up Late" is ending.
The New York Post reported Tuesday that the host has been fired. A spokesman for Baldwin raised objections to the word "fired," but told the Post, "The show is not coming back. He had questions on whether he wanted to continue."

I bought this lipstick/gloss at TJ Maxx for $3.99, and I am very glad I did not pay full price for it! I got it in the color "Macbeth" which is a bright reddish-pink color. The formula is very goopy and sticky and it's tricky to apply it smoothly. The only way I could get it to look good was to blot it with a tissue and then cover it with a different sheer gloss that I own.
My biggest problem with this product is the smell and the taste of it. It has a very chemical taste and a weird smell that just won't go away while you're wearing it.
I will probably toss this one and be grateful I didn't spend $18 on it!

I bought this in the shade "Trout Pout" which is a beautiful warm pink. The color was right up my alley, however the formula was so awful I ended up tossing this lip gloss. Which is a shame given the price.
The formula is be far the stickiest I've ever used. It reminds me of a drugstore liquid lipstick from the 90s... before makeup evolved for the better into what it is today. I *love* sticky formulas because it always feels moisturizing and lasts longer. However this was bad. It literally felt like I was applying glue to my lips. I could feel the gloss sitting there until I wiped it off out of frustration.
I don't regret throwing it away. And I sure as hell would not repurchase.

I have this in JAFFA, a vibrant orangey coral -- a gorgeous bold lip color for summer. Problem is, I bought this expecting the "liquid lipstick" the product name promised. In reality, it's a tacky gloss that both doesn't last long on the lips AND stains the lip perimeter after a couple of hours. The application is also a pain: I have to drag the wand hard across my lips and re-dip again and again to wipe on enough color. In other words: this product was both disappointing AND high-maintenance. The color is beautiful, though!

I bought the color Ruby Murray, which normally retails for around $18, on clearance it was approximately $10. The normal cost is an OK price; for lip gloss I would say its a bit pricy. For that reason, I was excited to have found it on clearance. In the bottle its a lovely purple color that would work on a variety of skin tones. When applied it tones down quite a bit unless you apply a liberal amount of gloss to whole lip. On top of that it takes a lot of work to make the color appear evenly; I more times than not have to smooth it over with my finger (which is just gross). I also found that the gloss will stick to any and all imperfections on the lip. As far a surviving a meal it does Ok. You can still tell that you have something on you lips but the color will have faded further and there's more times than not food bits that stick to it (again that's just gross). Another problem that I had was when I pursed my lips the gloss seemed to stick to just one lip making my lips looked 2 toned.
I love the packaging though! Its the perfect kind of bottle (tub?) to be set out on a vanity. Not only do you know what color it's supposed to be but the casing is just so shiny and new!

I bought this in "tea with the queen" it's overall texture and color is gorgeous as a nude. The pricing is a little bit high for a gloss but it lasts me for months at a time and I wear it almost everyday.

Hi all,
as you might see from previous reviews, I only write a review if I am really happy with a product.
This lip gloss is just great.
Bought it at the airport in the duty free arena, one of these spontanous buys that either end really badly ("why did I get such crap?") or turn out to be a real discovery. The Butter lip gloss luckily ended up in the latter category.
The colour cought my eye, I got one that is called Toff. Nice dark rose, more to the brown side. Darker than what I usually wear, but still looks natural, so I got it.
Tastes delicious, slightly fruity I find, but am not good in describing tastes. Like it though. Also find that it does not smell funny.
And it looks grand. Colour is very rich and deep but exactly along the expectations, so nothing too bright for me. Stays on quite long, depends of course whether you eat or drink in between.
Will definitely watch out for the company (that I didn't know before) now again to check out some more of their products.
Always happy to pay a bit more if the quality is right.
Greetings from Belgium :)

I find the smell lovely. Trout Pout is my favorite. It feels like a lipstick to me, and I like to feel my lipstick. Some might call this thick, I don't know. I just know it looks good, it stays put, lasting really well. It has the full color and pigment of a liquid lipstick. I love it myself, and highly recommend it. It's super shiny like a lip gloss should be. And also I do get a lot of compliments on this one, the Trout Pout I mean. Expensive? Maybe, but worth it.

Ahhhhh this is my first review in a year or so and I gotta say I'm so excited to be writing again!
I have the Lippy Butter in "Snog" which, to me, is a peony pink with an orange base. I find this product really changes when you put it on but in a really good way. It's a really flattering peachy pink on my lips with a slight glitter through it. A little bit goes a long way so definitely take it easy on application! Most peach looking lipsticks/stains etc wash me out and make me flatter.
It has an applicator wand (which I don't love for hygiene reasons). The smell is quite strong and I feel like anything I eat or drink has a soapy tinge to it. (Aside: I never had my mouth washed out with soap as a kid but I was curious and decided to do it myself hence why I know this Lippy tastes like soap hahaha).
I bought this at the university co-op bookshop for some strange reason but glad I did coz I can put up with the strange soapy taste. I haven't been able to find this brand elsewhere in Australia except for some selected health food stores that usually sell only the nail polish. It was $19.95AUD.
I also have this in "Dancer" which is a red glitter. It's really sheer. I was thinking it would be more analogous to Dior's lip lacquers. I will be pairing this up with a matt red lipstick as the faint tinge doesn't do much for me. Looks amazing in the tube though - it's a slightly orange based red.
Good colour, kinder ingredients, quality packaging, stays on for most of the day including through eating and definitely drinking.

I was in Ulta looking for Gluten free/Paraben free Lipsticks/glosses which are hard to find. The Butter London rep was there and I found out she was also a Celiac and she helped me try on several of their products. As a Rep for their company, she was fantastic and definitely sold me on their brand. I picked this lippy because I had not been able to wear gloss in awhile. Most of them contain Gluten. Believe me throwing out 14 glosses and 8 lipsticks the day I was diagnosed was very upsetting.
The Lippy is their more opaque glosses and more like a glossy lipstick. now that I am 41 I prefer glosses because I sometimes think lipstick is aging on women my age. Gloss just helps hide our imperfections better and gives a more youthful look. This is long lasting, not too moist but not dry either. Shiny but not super sticky. I bought this in Dahling and it's a bit brighter rose that what it looks like on the tube so I'm glad I tried it on in the store. It was exactly the shade I was looking for.
All of Butter London products are Gluten free. This is extremely important for those like me that are Celiacs or have Gluten allergies or intolerances. I will get sick if I use the wrong lipstick and break out in blisters. It's not fun at all. It takes weeks to recover. But To see a company that guarantee Gluten free makes me extremely happy. Not a lot of makeup companies can make that claim (Juice Beauty is another one).
I plan on going back to Ulta to buy more of the Lippy and some of their other products, My boyfriend had not seen my in gloss since my diagnosis and he told me I looked beautiful. that's all it takes..lol
Note: Not sure what people are talking about with smell. Mine smelled like nothing. Like Vaseline maybe. Nothing offensive. Maybe it depends on the color or something. But I couldn't smell or taste anything weird.

Puke! This product has a nasty chemical smell. Does Butter London know it smells like Nair hair remover?
I sampled 'Snog' (a somewhat muted blue-toned red) which is absolutely lovely (a completely wearable red, which is generally difficult for me to find for my complexion) & very nostalgic for me - the color is virtually an exact dupe of a drugstore lipstick I used in the 1990's that had that kind of gorgeous rosy-red pop of color that looked alluring yet natural at the same time, not matte & not transparent, but translucent with a glow-from-within quality. It was my perfect red. Snog mimicks that pretty well.
But the scent stinks! It annoyed me as I wore it & had to wipe it off. So, no purchase for me. Too bad, because the formula is nice - thick & rich (takes some work to apply well) but stays put, is moisturizing, with a lovely glossy sheen. I'm kind of relieved I wasn't tempted into spending $17 on it. The stink is atrocious. And yes, as a few others have mentioned, it tastes as nasty as it smells, very bitter & chemical-y. Unpleasant for the wearer & anyone who kisses her on the lips.

|My favourite street art, ever
|My lake
|My tree
|My double rainbow
|My parasol
You always convey such clarity of mood, even if it's a floaty misty thing that slips through your fingers. Beautiful mood. I love your barefooted walks through the woods and on the beach. And the parasol is perfect with this. Gorgeous, you are.
I love your tree :) I think it's time I found a friendly one too. In fact this whole post make be delightfully happy. Thank you xox
I saw the issue and it was great. I love your flowy cotton dress. Beautiful pics- they are so peaceful. -and that double rainbow, so nice.
I WAS dead, but now I breathe. A double rainbow and a floaty cotton frock have revived me, plus the news you have a glorious fucktard-free 11-day break ahead of you, to spend frolicking in the bush and sea. But you really should give up that boring day job and concentrate on your centrefold and photography careers!!! **breathing through paper bag** xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I sounded like the guy in the clip when I saw your photo in Vogoff! Ooohhh, ooh, ohohoh!!!!
And like him, I am almost weeping tears of crazed joy at the beauty of these photos. they are stunning, and so are you. You are a gorgeous twirly-wirly parasol-carrying barefoot hippy chick, and I bloody love you! YOU are the double rainbow in my life! xxxxxx
What a lovely parasol !!! This photos are so dreamy and the place is wonderful!!
Is the guy from the video dead? I'm glad that people still get so excited by nature, and rainbows are always surprising and magical!!
I love Vogoff and Hettie is one of my favorite contributors and 'b-side' of the world!!
I love you more than Picasso's striped t shirt !!!
Vogoff is a work of genius. Lovely pics of your weekend too, love it!
You are looking extra fresh, peaceful and free in this simple little dress and Hettie is a sexy gal too!
So pretty loves these pictures :)
You look like you're in paradise here Sarah!
You look incredibly sassy and sexy in VOGOFF! So great to see its pages filled with wonderfully vamped up bloggers we know and love. Xoxo
Such pretty pics, love your white dress. The little girl street art is awesome. Saw the VOGOFF pic and you look stunning! Very cool :)
I am so happy I have found you! You are the loveliest little hippy chick with your parasol and rainbows. And your debut in Vogoff well...super gorgeous! And that video! I live in California around all those crazy stoner dudes and I was laughing so hard!!!! And I could use a good laugh these days. Thank you so much for bringing me some much needed cheer!
Love, Connie*
Such pretty and peaceful pics, what gorgeous location too.
It's hard to go past a crisp white dress and freshness on a summers day.
Oh and I must say Vogoff was utterly hilarious.
reason #2 why I'm thankful I started blogging: my blog friends cheer me up. I've had the flu all weekend.
reason #1; freaking outrageous creative women. Everybody check out Vogoff!
Wonderful to see you in that wonderful fairy attire, my dear Sarah.
Gorgeous indeed, you are!
All floaty and cool looking,despite what I know must be insane heat! Lovely lake,can I say I have a little piece just for me?!
Double rainbows make me squeal like a loon,even a standard rainbow gets me frisky,they're so freakin' awesome!
Love you more than swingy frocks and parasols!
I love everything of yours!!!
Your tree, your parasol, your rainbow, street art and YOUR flowy dress!
Love that street art - I wish I lived on that street so I could see it every day.
Your post is so balmy and beautiful, and so opposite of my rainy day here in Oregon, but I did see a rainbow the other day. And got a good laugh out of VOGOFF!
You can make it through those five days of work. If I can do it, anyone can.
What a magical post, you look so gorgeous and dreamy in that wonderful ensemble.
You look absolutely angelic with such a beautiful backdrop. Heavenly. I adore that dress and every girl needs a parasol. We all need a double rainbow. I can't stop looking at these stunning photos!! xxxxx
Gorgeous dress! And what fun photos. I wish I had a little forest to frolic through. Corey is counting down to his Christmas holidays too. I can't wait for him to be off! It'll be nice to have some time with him.
Whilst it's very wrong for anyone to be barefoot this close to Christmas (I can't cope with the concept of continents' differing seasons any better than Boy2) you are gorgeous and Springy indeed. And that Vogoff marlarky is genius.
Aren't you the perfect forest fairy? Love the photos of you amongst the trees. The dress is gorgeous.
I'M GOING TO GO THERE AS SOON AS I COMMENT! Sarah--byoo-tee-full as always. Ah, I had a parasol once. You take wonderful pictures.
Oh, and thank you for being the one and only follower to my new, irreverent crappola drawings blog! SNIFF! SARAH CARES THE MOST!!
OH MY GOD SARAH I'M FREAKING OUT...that was soooo fabulous that it nearly knocked me over. Did you write that poem? Did you come up with the name? Who put this together? It's so fun that frankly, it's making me a little crazed. Curtise looks fabulous too! Explain this Vogoff thing to me, for I am ignorant.
What a beautiful outfit! I love the flowy dress, the head piece, the parasol - you are summer perfection!
Love it all!!! How virginal do you look in white?? May the five days of work whizz by so you can reunited with your little shack and chill out by the sea.
That street art is really amazing!!
You live in such a gorgeous location!
I'm on my way to see Vogoff!!
Ohhh, I can almost feel the sunshine just looking at you. That frock is so sweet and virginal on you and the parasol is adorable.
Love you more than rainbows. xxx

Friday, 30 November 16:30 - 17:00 | Conference Hall K
With the ever rising expectations of modern day audiences, large scale shots are increasing in demand. Such shots are generally delivered by big studios. The question is can such productions be achieved by a studio with limited number of staff and resources. At Lighthouse - VFX/CG workflow and tools are designed for small production team taking on short movies, "Understanding The Book Of Revelation", where end-time shots of large scale proportions are described in the Bible. Due to the production challenges of creating shots such as earthquakes, large cities, destruction scenes, ocean simulations, complex creatures and others, efficient and effective pipelines are created for wide production aspects such as VFX, modelling, animation, rigging, and more.

I am a PhD candidate at the Center for Spoken Language Understanding (CSLU) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), studying under the direction of Alexander Kain. I am currently writting my dissertation and plan finishing mid-2015.Research Interests
My long-term research goals are to develop novel methods in continuous speech modeling for English. Specifically my work entails constructing data-derived coarticulation models of continuous speech to allow speaker-specific speech synthesis, making conversational speech more intelligible, characterizing dysarthria, increasing accuracy in automatic speech recognition, and increasing our understanding of human speech production. Future work may involve applying this approach to Japanese.
In addition to speech related research, I also continue with NLP-related research and development. This work has focused on language identification, encoding detection, text classification and other tasks that are usually associated with content-filtering with a focus on building production-quality systems. In general, AI (artificial intelligence; now mostly called machine learning) has been a passion for me since my early teens.Projects

Divya is the best thing about Bhaag Milkha: Sonam Kapoor
Bollywood actress Divya Dutta has delivered some of the most challenging performances with extreme ease, the latest one being the character of Farhan Akthar's sister, 'Isri', in the recently released film 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'.
The film also features actress Sonam Kapoor, who is all praises for Divya.
Sonam, in a recent interview, said, "I think Divya Dutta is the best thing about this film."
Unfortunately, they did not share screen space in the film, but Sonam said that she would love to be in the same frame as Divya someday.
"She is the most wonderful actress, and I hope to share a frame with her one day," said Sonam.
Divya has won several awards for her performances in films like 'Veer Zaara' and 'Delhi 6'.

In today's blog entry, head coach Yvette Healy writes about three words that represent the core principles of Wisconsin softball.
Our softball staff was in Las Vegas last week at the NFCA National Convention listening to the top speakers and presenters in our sport while working on legislation for softball. One of the best speakers was Eric Kapitulik. He is a U.S. Marine Corps officer with a great background in leadership. He shared a lot of insight in dealing with adversity in the team setting.
My favorite message from Eric was simple, can you, your staff and team all agree on the three core principles of what it means to be one of the women of Wisconsin softball? What three words would you use to describe what it means to be a Badger? What goals, values and standards do we live in our program? The three words that I would use are: tenacious, composed and family. The women of Wisconsin softball are tenacious, composed and family. Those three words are simple, yet powerful.
Obviously in a high level, Division 1 program, you've got to be competitive. But tenacity takes competitiveness to a whole different level. The single biggest attribute our staff looks for in young recruits is their temperament. We want kids that love softball, and love to compete. Some people just naturally love the thrill of working hard, developing their game and winning. Yet even more powerful than just competiveness is tenacity. Those who refuse to be stifled by obstacles become champions. I've always been drawn to great underdog stories. Talent truly is overrated. Those athletes that I have been most proud of in my coaching and playing experience are the ones with the most fight. Those that continue to battle, scrap and win, even when they face setbacks, have tenacity. When you find someone who refuses to lose at all she does, she will over-achieve in all aspects of her life.
Composure is actually my favorite compliment to pay. It goes beyond being calm and poised in the face of adversity. Young women who are composed have this amazing aura of confidence. They have swagger. They trust and believe in their ability and preparation. Composure only comes to those who know they will achieve and overcome. They have experienced tribulations before, and found a way to pull themselves up and rise above the challenge. Composed people are usually selfless, more focused on solving problems than complaining about the situation. When you can find athletes with great composure, they are usually those who worked hardest and feel confident in how they prepared. They know that failure is only temporary and success is a process.
Finally, the women of Wisconsin softball are family. These words have never seemed more meaningful to me than now, as the mother of a three-year-old. Although the word family means different things to different people, we can all agree that family is forever. At its core, family is about selflessness. Family members have your best interest in mind, sacrificing to make others' lives better than their own. Family is about unconditional love, about putting others' happiness before your own. Family is about having relationships that matter, being there for each other through the good and bad and truly connecting with someone. We talk a lot about being a great teammate and a great person in the Wisconsin softball family. Our coaches are here because they are good people that care about the young women in our program and love to teach.
I am proud to work with the women of Wisconsin softball every day.

COLTON The towns annual Country Days returns for the 30th year today, with many events celebrating Coltons past and present.
One new addition is the 1940s Radio Hour, a stage performance designed to look like it is taking place in a World War II-era radio station. The play debuted Thursday.
The first half of the show is called Story of a Town. It tells the tales of Colton residents during the 1940s, many of whom are World War II veterans.
The stories were gathered by the Colton Historical Society in an effort to create an oral history of the war before it is too late.
We realized that a lot of our World War II vets were passing away, and we were quickly losing that knowledge, said Colton Tourism and Beautification Committee Chair Ruth T. McWilliams.
The second half is devoted to music and dance of the era.
The music is fabulous, the singing is wonderful, the story is great. Its really just a wonderful production, Ms. McWilliams said.
The show starts at 3:30 p.m. today and Sunday at Colton-Pierrepont Central School. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students.
The play was inspired by last years production of Sunday Rock, a musical looking at life in Colton in 1912. The plan is to continue the tradition by looking to other eras.
The hope is to put on a play each year that has some kind of historical impact, said Colton Historical Society Chair Cynthia S. Hennessy.
Todays events will run from 9 am. to 3 p.m. One of the highlights every year is the frog jumping contest at 9:30 a.m., which draws between 60 and 70 young contestants, according to Ms. Hennessy.
The frog jump is always a hit, she said.
Thrill-seekers from all over will come to Stone Valley Park for the whitewater release from Brookfield Powers Colton Dam, a paradise for advanced kayakers.
Main Street will be lined with vendors and activities. Other events include an ice cream social and fireworks at sundown.
Were sure hoping the weather is good, Ms. McWilliams said.
On Sunday the town will hold a free fishing derby from 8 a.m. to noon for children ages 3 to15.

Despite having already locked up an NFC playoff spot, Falcons QB Matt Ryan and Atlanta not only want to close the season strong today, but avenge an early season loss to divisional rival Tampa Bay.

Falcons ready for revenge in New Year's finale
The Falcons are already guaranteed a playoff spot, but they want to take all the momentum they can into the postseason — and a win today against Buccaneers, who beat them earlier in the season, can only help.
