It appears as if getting tickets to the Jan. 2 Winter Classic is going to be a problem if you're not a Philadelphia Flyers or New York Rangers season ticket holder, or if you don't have a bank vault full of disposable income stashed away somewhere. And that shouldn't be a surprise. It also shouldn't be a surprise that casual fans are the ones that are likely to be left on the outside looking in for one of the biggest events of the season, seeing as how that's pretty much always the case when you're talking about one of the biggest games on the sports calendar.
Since its debut on New Years Day, 2008, the Winter Classic has become the signature event of the NHL season. When it first started with a game in Buffalo, nobody was quite sure what to expect for that game or future games, and the ticket demand, while large, wasn't anywhere near the monster it has become today. It's the one regular season game most fans want to watch and see in person, whether or not their favorite team is actually playing. Getting a ticket is darn near impossible, and gets harder every season.
This year's game, which will take place in Philadelphia and feature the Flyers hosting the Rangers at Citizens Bank Park, normally the home of the Philadelphia Phillies, is no exception.
Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer has an article on Monday talking about the problems fans-- particularly those of the hometown Flyers -- are facing when it comes to trying to score tickets to an event that has a limited supply and an overwhelming demand. According to Carchidi, the NHL gave the Flyers an allotment of 19,000 tickets, which should be just enough to cover their season ticket base as well as some partial season ticket holders.
One of the gripes Flyers fans seem to have at this point, and it is a legitimate gripe, is that along with the tickets to the Jan. 2 game, which cost anywhere between $79 and $349, they also have to purchase tickets to an alumni game, as well as a minor league game involving the Flyers' AHL team, the Adirondack Phantoms. He spoke to one season ticket holder that spent over $500 on tickets -- including service fees -- for a pair of tickets to each of three games ... two of which he didn't even want to attend (the alumni game and the minor league game). Why is the NHL doing this? Because it can. Because there is enough demand, and enough people willing to buy tickets to two games they don't want to see.
|More Winter Classic News
Pleasing everybody for a game like this is impossible, and there's always going to be somebody that's left fuming because the process was unfair, which it no doubt is. And as is the case with any marquee event in sports, the casual fan, the one with the family of four that just wants to take the kids to an outdoor hockey game, or the die-hard that sits in the nosebleeds for regular games and knows the name and number of every player that's dressed for the team over the past two decades, is going to be the one that gets left out. And if you're surprised by that you must be new to sports. It's not fair and it's not right, but that's not how it works for these types of games.
The NHL -- or any league -- isn't in the business of making sure the right fans get tickets to the right games. It's in the business of making money, and the Winter Classic is the biggest money-maker it has during the regular season.

The Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) are administered by Highmark Blue Shield. For all questions, Highmark's customer service representatives can be reached at 1-800-914-4384.
From Highmark Blue Shield's website, you can easily submit your cost share (copayments, deductible, coinsurance) to your FSA and request payment be made directly to your network doctor or hospital. This prevents you from having to "pay up front" and wait for reimbursement from your FSA. If you would prefer to have the payment sent directly to you, that is an option as well. You can have the payment direct deposited to your bank account or have a check sent to you. For instruction on how to use your FSA for these various payments, please review How to Pay Expenses Using Your FSA.
You also have the ease of using the "debit" card provided by Highmark, which gives you the benefit of having your entire year's election UP FRONT; you may need to submit receipts after you have used your debit card in order to satisfy IRS regulations for "substantiation". Use of the debit card is voluntary, but provides the convenience of not having to pay out of pocket and wait for your reimbursement.
All FSA reimbursements must be submitted to Highmark no later than March 31 of the following calendar year for active employees.
If you have terminated or retired, you have 90 days from the termination/retirement date to submit receipts for reimbursement. Please note that you may only submit receipts that you've incurred on or before your termination/retirement date.
Please see the Frequently Asked Questions to learn about the great changes and how you can save tax money.
Tools & Tips
If you have unused money from 2014, you will need to use the "Pay Now" feature to access those funds, and you have until March 31, 2015 to do so.
After January 1, 2015, if you use the debit card, it will automatically pull from your 2015 funds.
To avoid having to submit receipts and/or receiving letters from Highmark asking for "substantiation", DO NOT use the debit card for services other than office visit copayments and prescriptions. You are not required to use the debit card - it is just one of the options you have available to you.
You are able to pay your providers directly from your FSA or pay yourself back when you have paid out of pocket for a service:
- "Pay Provider" - Means you are paying the provider directly from your FSA account and Highmark will submit the payment to the provider on your behalf.
- "Pay Myself" - Means you are reimbursing yourself for services you will be billed for or have already paid. Highmark will send a check or direct deposit to YOU from your FSA.
- "Mark As Paid" - Means that you are not intending to pay yourself or the provider, but rather you are just organizing your claims so they indicate previous payment was made.
This is useful when you know that you used your debit card for a particular service, as those claims will be listed in your account.
When paying your provider or paying yourself, you may select up to 10 claims or lines per claims, per submission. If you have more than 10 claims that you want to pay, select up to 10 then click submit. You can then go back and select more claims to pay.
If you are submitting claims for dental, orthodontia, or vision expenses, you will need to produce documentation of your balances regardless of whether you use the debit card or pay out of pocket and enter your own claim.
Please contact Highmark Blue Shield at 800-914-4384 if you have any questions about your medical claims or your flexible spending account.
Tutorial Video on Managing Your FSA
Regular full-time employees may participate in either or both of the following flexible spending accounts (FSA):
Health Care Flexible Spending Account - This account allows you to set aside funds on a pretax basis to cover anticipated out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision care expenses for yourself and for your dependents. The maximum allowable amount for a health care FSA is $2,500 for 2015.
If both you and your spouse/same-sex domestic partner are employees of Penn State and have FAMILY coverage under the PPO Savings Plan (high-deductible) with the Health Savings Account (HSA), a HEALTH CARE Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cannot be opened under either employee. The IRS does not permit use of a health care FSA when enrolled in an HSA. (The Dependent Care FSA is available to either employee up to the IRS limits)
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account - This account is for employees who have day care needs for their children or an adult dependent. It allows you to set aside funds on a pretax basis to reimburse work-related day care expenses that are incurred for the care of eligible dependents. Unlike the health care FSA, money contributed to the dependent day care FSA is still subject to Pennsylvania state income tax. The maximum allowable amount for a dependent day care FSA is $5,000 for 2015. Check out the dependent care brochure from Highmark.
- Both FSAs require employees to make a new election each year
- Newly hired employees must elect FSA participation during the first 31 days of employment

With the score tied at 4-4 starting the third period, Irondequoit's John Papas scored his third goal of the game 12 seconds in. The Eagles followed that up with an unanswered goal from Pete Barlilla with six seconds left, giving the visiting Eagles a hard-fought 6-4 win over the Braves.
In the Class B quarterfinal game between the fourth-seeded Canandaigua Braves and the fifth-seeded Irondequoit Eagles ice hockey teams, played Friday night at the Greater Canandaigua Civic Center, the visiting Eagles scored twice within 20 seconds of the beginning of two periods. The first coming on a John Papas breakaway off of a Nick Mongelli pass 16 seconds into the game. Then, with the score tied at 4-4 starting the third period, Papas scored his third goal of the game 12 seconds in, following that up with an assist on teammate Pete Barilla's unanswered goal with six seconds left, giving the visiting Eagles a hard-fought 6-4 win over the Braves.
"To be honest, I was surprised this was a 6-4 game," said Irondequoit coach Rick Giuffrida shortly after the game. "Our first game was a 1-1 tie and the second a 4-3 win at home. We can score goals and I knew that coming in. But even if I had a crystal ball I don't think I could have predicted a 6-4 game."
With Irondequoit up 2-1 after the first period on a Jeff Geraci goal, making it 2-0, and a Liam McGuey unassisted goal for CA making it 2-1, the Braves scored three goals in the second to two for Irondequoit. The first on a hard slap-shot power-play goal from CA's D.J. Goldstein just 36 seconds in. After a 2-man-up goal from Irondequoit's Andrew Cordes, CA's Nick Como scored a power-play goal to tie the game at 3-3. Before the period ended there were goals from CA's Joe Eddinger and Irondequoit's Papas', with six seconds left.
Essentially 18 seconds later Papas scored his third goal, breaking up the 4-4 deadlock, followed by the games last goal coming on a power-play from Pete Barilla. CA's Doyle Kinnear faced 24 shots in the game, while Irondequoit's Chris Soufieris faced 24.
"Every year we dedicate our season to the seniors. This year, Johnny Papas, Pete Barilla, Andrew Cordes and Nick Mongelli. We talked about it in the third period. About how we didn't want to turn in our equipment tomorrow. I think it really kind of hit them; You know what, it's a tie game and we have to find a way to win this game. So Johnny Papas scored that quick goal and it energized a little bit. But it also energized Canandaigua and when your protecting that lead it's like the clock never moves."
"Canandaigua has some kids on that team, like the Goldstein kid and Yehl. I've known Jim (CA coach Jim Armstrong) a long time and actually coached with him at Webster. I have the utmost respect for Jim. You look at the way his teams play. They get down and block shots. I mean look at that one player of theirs who got down and blocked a shot with his face mask. That's how they play. They play a gritty game and we knew that going in. But I'm real proud of how our kids played this game and hung in there."
Page 2 of 2 - Canandaigua's Armstrong declined comment after the game.
For his part, Papas was asked what were his keys to the win.
"Our offense was on fire," he quickly responded. "The chemistry, especially with my line, was just working. I was just getting the right passes and I was taking the right shot. Christian Souferis stood on his head in goal for us. Played a great game. Canandaigua is a tough team. Always comes to battle. But Peter Barilla, Jacey Karpovage and the rest of my teammates played a great game tonight. That's what we practice for and that's what it's all about. So we get back to practice, work on our breakout, make sure it's successful and work on our forechecking. Work hard so we can get the goals we want."
Irondequoit, now 13-5-3-1 moves on to face the winner of Saturday's Brockport-Notre Dame of Batavia game on Wednesday while Canandaigua ends their season at 11-5-3-1.

Finding the determinant of a variable matrix in MATLAB
On Programmer » Matlab
815 words with 1 Comments; publish: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:02:00 GMT; (20046.88, « »)
I'm a bit new to MATLAB so this should be a simple question for someone with
experience. I'm trying to find the determinant of a matrix with variables,
for example:
A = [x 2*l; 3 4] where x is a variable and l is a constant. Then I want to s
et it to equal zero (det(A)=0) and I want the answer to be in a simplified v
ersion. So in this case I would like it to return 2x -3l = 0.
How exactly do I do this in MATLAB?

Jews again accused of using blood in matzah
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 04/01/2013 @ 9:15 pm In Faith,Front Page,Politics,U.S.,World | No Comments
A Lebanese daily newspaper published an article to coincide with Passover this year that resurrected the age-old blood libel about the "barbaric rituals" of the Jewish people.
The article in Al Sharq accused Jews of using human blood in their religious rituals, a notorious anti-Semitic smear.
The author, Lebanese writer Sana Kojok, claimed that during Passover, the Jews eat matzah made with the blood of non-Jews.
Kojok also called on the Palestinians to turn Israeli's religious holiday from one of joy into one of weeping and wailing.
The Middle East Media Research Institute reported the claim.
Kojok's article began by explaining some of the Jewish holiday traditions, including Sukkot and Hanukkah, then described what he called the "barbaric rituals" of Passover.
He wrote: "During the Jewish holiday of Passover, which begins today, strange and bizarre rituals are held, according to instructions by the Talmud: Houses are cleared of all leaven, that is, all bread and bread products containing yeast, which are called 'hametz' in Hebrew.
"Additionally, on the holiday eve, the Zionist Jews eat unleavened bread which during its preparation is mixed with blood – but that blood must be from a non-Jew! This unleavened bread is called 'matzah'," Kojok claimed.
The "blood libel" myth dates as far back as 1840, when a tale was spread around Syria that a priest, Father Toma, went to the Jewish Quarter of Damascus, where he was slaughtered by a group of rabbis and other Jews. As the historically inaccurate account goes, not a drop of blood was spilled because it was collected to make Passover matzah.
"Imagine someone eating matzah made with blood!? How do these barbarians think?? Such barbaric behavior – even in eating and drinking?!" Kojok wrote.
Kojok asserted that Jews were calling one another to invade the Al-Aqsa Mosque and celebrate Passover there. Muslims regard the Al-Aqsa Mosque as the third holiest site in Islam, located in the Old City of Jerusalem. It sits on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
"How can the world expect us to negotiate with people who crave the blood of human beings – not only in their wars, but even in their holidays?" he wrote.
In 2003, Arab media aired a program that depicted a boy being sacrificed and his blood used to make Passover matzah. Prominent Saudi clerics reiterated the myth in a 2012 interview, claiming also the Holocaust was "exaggerated."
In 2000, the Palestinian Liberation Army mufti, Sheik Col. Nader Al-Tamini, stated in a debate on Al-Jazeera that there can be no peace with the Jews because they suck and use the blood of Arabs on holidays such as Passover and Purim.
Kojok urged his fellow Muslims to turn the Jewish holiday into one of "weeping and wailing."
"Their d***** Talmud neither respects nor recognizes any monotheistic religion. The Palestinians should challenge the Zionist aggressors and turn their holiday from one of joy and pleasure at the taste of blood into one of weeping and wailing," Kojok wrote.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Pitt is going in the wrong direction. The Panthers (4-5) are losing at a pace that would lead to back-to-back sub-.500 seasons for the first time since 1998-99.
But Ray Graham and the running game are improving every week.
"We can run against anybody," Graham said after he recorded a season-high 172 yards Saturday against Notre Dame and scored a touchdown for the third consecutive game.
"I think our run game is very good when we are on our Ps and Qs and minus the MAs (missed assignments)."
Before Pitt's 29-26 triple overtime loss to Notre Dame on Saturday, the Irish run defense was ninth in the nation, allowing an average of 95.2 yards.
Graham nearly doubled that number by himself. In fact, he had 103 yards on two carries — 55 on the first try of the game and 48 in the third quarter. The runs appeared to set a tone, coming on the first play of a series, but Pitt managed only a field goal both times.
What knee injury?
What Graham's effort proved is that his knee injury from a year ago is no longer a factor. He carried 24 times, tying a season high he set twice previously. Freshman Rushel Shell had only one carry for 2 yards.
"I felt like I was improving three weeks ago," Graham said.
Graham has rushed for 355 yards in the past three games to move into fourth place on Pitt's all-time rushing list with 3,023. He needs 64 yards to pass Craig Heyward for third.
Odd choice?
Graham said he was surprised when Pitt started throwing from its 20-yard line while protecting an eight-point lead with four minutes left in the fourth quarter.
"I thought we were going to run the ball," he said. "(But) we have great offensive coordinator (Joe Rudolph). He made the call. We stuck with it."
In four of the five carries immediately preceding that series, Graham totaled zero yards.
Still hurts
Redshirt freshman cornerback Lafayette Pitts was a big reason the Pitt defense kept Notre Dame out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.
But he took no consolation in sharing the team lead in pass breakups with linebacker Todd Thomas (two).
"I'm not happy with individual performances," he said. "The team didn't win. It's a team game. I'm not OK with that."
Senior middle linebacker Joe Trebitz led the team in tackles (13) in his first career start. … Pitt converted only 1 of 14 third downs, while Notre Dame turned 10 of 20 into first downs. … Wide receiver Devin Street was held to three receptions for 35 yards, his lowest output in both categories this season. … Pitt officials refused to allow Graham and Pitts to answer questions about allegations of simple assault and conspiracy against them.

I'm in charge2:43 PM
(My daughter and I last summer)
My family has officially decided we are having annual family vacations every summer. Guess who is in charge? Of course it's me. This time around things will be a little different. This labor day weekend we are having a family dinner and voting on where our vacation destination will be. Sound fun right? Well there is more. Someone will give a short presentation, top 5 reasons to choose their city destination.
Of course you want to know the cities. They are Chicago (my city I'm representing), Vegas, D.C, and New Orleans. So if anyone wants to help me with Chicago I would love your help and I will be sure to keep everyone updated.

Hello Booksie, it's been a fun two weeks of writing again =D I can't thank you all enough for your kind words and support with everything. You all have NO IDEA how much it means to me! Especially you people who just read my stuff, that stuff freakin' ROCKS! And of course you people who I asked to read my stuff and you actually did.You all are just so uplifting.
However, I have to be entirely somber and honest to you all, because you all do mean a lot to me. If you've noticed my last poem, "I Need Help", it is a legitimate cry for help to my therapist. Granted she won't read it, but hopefully you're all getting the idea that I NEED HELP. Severely. Anything I wrote about has now been ten folded in ways I really need to sit down and get as much help as possible. I was told medication might be a choice, and while I have never been crazy about the idea I may have to.
I'm at the point where the person I am angry at is in danger of me. At marching band last night I had to have someone take my cymbals from me so I didn't throw them. I shut down entirely. I was digging my finger nails into my wrist and by the end of the night my wrist was entirely red. I even attempted to cut myself when I was home.
I have been having relapses for the past few months. Growing up, I didn't have the best social experience and I felt alone and against everyone most of the time. This past week, though, everything has gotten worse instead of going away like it normally did. The last time I felt anything like this was in 9th grade. Ever since then I have had other problems and the feelings had gone away. However, it's only getting worse now.
I already contacted my therapist. I will most likely be admitted to a hospital where they can evaluate me and help me out. I don't know how long I'll be there or if I'll be able to do anything involving the internet. Once I tell my therapist everything, then I plan on everything to unfold as it should so I can take the steps I need to get rid of everything, to stop haitng so much, and just be stable.
I can't even beging to go into an in depth explaination of everything, but I know there's gonna be some negative consequences. But this is because I have to do stuff for myself. I need to stop being so angry because it's going to kill me if I let it go. I don't wanna get worse. I wanna be okay.
I hope you guys don't need me to spell this out for you, because this is tough to actually say as it is. You guys are awesome and I want to get back to writing. I don't know when I'll actually be able to see my therapist, but I hope it's this week. I want to start feeling better now and I want you all to know how I end up.
I'll let you guys know when I'm back or when I'm leaving (If I am able to). If anything else happens, I'll let you know as well. You guys are awesome! =D

La palabra y la pluma en 'Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno'
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, 2005; 205 pp.)
In her latest wide-ranging study, Chang-Rodríguez offers an intriguing, in-depth exploration of an illustrated chronicle completed by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala in 1615. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author elucidates the text and stresses the unique ability of Guaman Poma de Ayala (a native Andean historian) to combine words and images to depict his legacy. Chang-Rodríguez explores such legal and social debates as the rights of conquest, the position of the native population, the clash of traditions, and the qualifications of colonial administrators in the viceroyalty of Peru. Raquel Chang-Rodriguez is a distinguished professor of Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian literatures and languages at City College and The Graduate Center.

Microsoft Research Connections Blog

Social Media Collective
Have you heard of Colonel Blotto? Me, neither—at least not until a few days ago, when I ran into my friend and colleague Thore Graepel in the atrium of Building 99 on Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., campus, worldwide headquarters of Microsoft Research.
Graepel was telling me about Project Waterloo, the initial effort from the nascent Research Games project at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Project Waterloo is a Facebook game designed in the Colonel Blotto style, which means that two players are asked to distribute a finite set of resources over a collection of geographies. The player who has distributed the most resources over each geography is the winner of that one, and the player who wins the most geographies wins the game.
In the case of Project Waterloo, each player is allocated 100 "troops," to be distributed over five "battlefields." The player who wins the most battlefields wins the game.
Given the great strides taken in e-commerce over the past decade, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that such transactions are still in their infancy.
Hence the need for the Academic Research Center for E-Commerce Technologies, announced Oct. 9 by the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Microsoft Research. Those entities signaled their intention of co-establishing a facility that will promote and fund basic research in computer science, artificial intelligence, game theory, economics, and psychology, with a focus on the connections between these subjects when considered from an e-commerce perspective.
The center, a five-year joint research and education partnership, is the first academic research program involving Microsoft Research in Israel. The effort is designed to explore scientific and technological insights in e-commerce, such as online advertising and the use of social networks for commerce. Over the next five years, Microsoft will invest $1.5 million in the center, which will be located at The Technion campus in Haifa, Israel.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker
- Filed Under
Newark Mayor Cory Booker is standing down.
Booker, in a YouTube video, confirmed that he will not challenge Gov. Chris Christie in the 2013 gubernatorial race.
"There is still a lot of work to do," Booker said in the video. "And so, let there be no doubt, I will complete my full second term as mayor of Newark, New Jersey. And as for my political future, I will explore the possibility of running for the United States Senate in 2014."
Passaic County Democratic Chairman John Currie said he spoke with Booker early today and the Newark mayor told him of his decision.
"He confirmed to me he was going to put his eyes on the Senate," Currie said.
Booker - the state's most popular Democrat, according to polls, with a growing national presence - would have instantly become the biggest threat to a second term for Christie. His declining to run opens the field for a number of other Democrats, including Sen. Barbara Buono, who has already declared she is running, state Sen. Stephen Sweeney, Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald and state Sen. Dick Codey, a former governor.
With Christie riding high in polls, the Democrats' task of taking down the Republican governor in 2013 was already difficult. Polls had shown Booker as the most formidable challenger, but even he would lose by double digits.
Booker is also rumored to be interested in running for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. Lautenberg, who is 88, has not announced whether he will seek another term.
"As I explore a run for the United States Senate, I look forward to consulting with Sen. Frank Lautenberg," Booker said in the video. "It would be a privilege, an honor to continue his legacy of service."

Apollo-Ridge senior hopes to go out in style at Cager Classic
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Sarah Bonelli never scored a goal against WPIAL or PIAA competition, but the argument can be made that she is one of the top soccer players in the Class of 2013.
Few can argue that she is the best girls soccer player ever to come out of Apollo-Ridge, where she goes to high school.
Apollo-Ridge does not have a soccer team, but that hasn't stopped Bonelli from earning a Division II scholarship.
Bonelli, a senior, has signed to continue her playing career at Lock Haven.
That means she will play one of her final scholastic basketball games Saturday in the 17th annual Cager Classic.
Bonelli will suit up for the East girls and, along with Josh Reynolds, will represent her school in the area's renowned postseason all-star event at Highlands High School.
"I think I am playing in the Indiana County all-star game, too," Bonelli said. "It will be neat to play against players I haven't played against before. You hate the people you play against until you play with them.
"I am excited to play. It's a bonus. I want to go out and let it all out one last time."
The 48 all-stars mostly are proficient in dribbling, passing and shooting, but Bonelli may be the only one who can pull off that trio in two sports.
Her parents, meantime, are adept from long range.
It's a wonder Bonelli has time to play basketball with the amount of traveling she does with her family for soccer.
"We go all over," she said.
Last week, she played in a tournament in Virginia.
Bonelli plays for the Century United Cup travel team. A midfielder, she played on a state-title winning team in 2012.
Bonelli said there were drawbacks to not having a high-school team, but she never was short on soccer.
"Soccer was going on during the high school season," she said. "During the (basketball) season, I was playing (soccer) two or three nights a week."
It appears Lock Haven recruited her to help spark its offense.
"They said I had potential from left-outside," said Bonelli, who signed with Lock Haven last month.
"I am left-footed, so they want me to play on the outside and score some goals."
She also considered St. Francis (Pa.) and Marietta.
On the basketball court, Bonelli averaged eight points, three steals and 2.3 blocks this season.
Basketball has few similarities to soccer, but Bonelli said that running up and down the court helps her get into soccer shape.
One of her coaches thinks one sport helped with the other.
"I think soccer influenced her basketball style," Apollo-Ridge basketball coach Desiree Syster said. "She was all hustle, all the time. She is very intense and wanted a leadership role on the team."
She also will keep the two-sport trend going in the spring when she runs track — Apollo-Ridge has track and field.
Bonelli said she will run the mile and compete with the 3,200- and 1,600-meter relay teams.
Her sister, Megan, also plays Cup soccer, basketball and runs track.

Honu Race Report 2008
This week, I visited the holy land of Triathlon Kona and raced the HONU 70.3 race outside of Kona. My results are probably not important to anyone but me; however it was a good day for me with a 5:38 finish.
I brought my Mom with me to share in the adventure that my buddy Mike Ireland talked me into. We had a deal; he would race Wildflower if I would race Honu. It was pretty simple: our two favorite races competing for which is the hardest half IM distance race we could find. The final result: Honu by a 20MPH wind gust!
So on to the course: Sunny Warm and Breezy (Uhhem Windy!)
Swim: A 1.2 mile swim in a rectangle in a protected bay with a Deep water Mass start. The swim had warm and clear water, and you could see fish and other ocean creatures (A big A$$ ray and turtles) below. The windy condition whipped up a small chop from time to time, and a bit of a nasty current on the back side of the rectangle. The current pushed me about 100 yards off course before I realized it. That is what I get for following the crowd.
The Bike: This was the most interesting part of the race! On Thursday, Mike I, Darin Nellis and I rode the last part of the out and back course which turned just before the small town of Hawi (Ha Vee). This is about a 15 mile stretch that gently climbs similar to Mandeville back home. However, Mandeville does not have 20 to 30 mile gust of wind. After this ride Thursday, I was VERY concerned about keeping the wheels down. Especially after getting blown across the rode literally once or twice on the way back down at 30 mph! So after making it out of the swim it is on to the bike and the winds. For some reason the race day adrenaline had me feeling good on the bike. However I should have listened to the small voice in my head that said the heart rate monitor is WAY TOO HIGH. All the way to up the road to Hawi I had a lot of confidence and had a good bike going until I realized I went too FAST for the first 36 miles. The last 3 miles on the way up to Hawi, uphill into a headwind crushed the life out my legs. Fortunately it was mostly downhill back to T2. But the wind did not let up! It was a head, cross, tail wind that was unpredictable at best. Lesson here it you want to race Honu or the Big Boy IM World championship. Be prepared for wind, rolling hills, and heat. This is the first time that I have ever been uncomfortably warm on a bike. Even after having raced in Cancun and training in Fontana in August.
The Run: Did I mention it was warm out! The course follows the Hotel golf course and the route takes you out onto a couple of Blacktop Roads with Lava on the Right and Left, several long hilly par 5 fairways, and several cart paths. Then in true triathlon torture fashion, there is a 1.3 mile out and back in some bad combination of Lava, Blacktop, and Wild grass. Fortunately there was a little cloud cover when I ran through the last three miles. The run was completed with a stop at each aid station for 2 handfuls of ice that I carried from stop to stop. Not once did the ice ever feel cold or did my hands go numb.
Post Race activities:
Sunday AM, After a swim by the Hotel, our group forgot about training for the day and went sightseeing (A sport that I suck at). We viewed the Falls at AKAKA and visited a volcano on the other side of the island. We walked across Lava from the 1990 eruption to view an active Lava flow into the Ocean. Mother Natural is as beautiful as she is powerful.
So overall it was a good race in a great location. Conditions make the course tough, not the course itself. With my current skill and fitness this could be either be a sub 5 hour or a 6 hour day depending upon the conditions of the day. The Host hotel the Mauna Lani, is beautiful hotel, but VERY pricy. However, every now and again finances must be damned. Hopefully I will get back to do this race again, but I will choose a condo over the Hotel. Pre Race training make sure to ride the road to Hawi, and run mid day in the LAVA fields so you know what to expect on race day.
Mission Statement: The LA Tri Club was established to provide a network of information, support services, training & racing
activities, friendship and fun for all ages and abilities. The LA Tri Club is one of the largest triathlon clubs in the World with over
1800 members. Check out our Join page for more details on our organization.

SINGAPORE, Aug 28 — French supermarket operator Carrefour said on Tuesday it will shut its two stores in Singapore by the end of this year, two years after it unsuccessfully tried to sell its operations in Singapore and Malaysia.
As Carrefour's new chief executive seeks to cut costs and turn around the company, it could unveil between 500 and 600 job cuts in France, unions said on Saturday.
"Carrefour Singapore announces the decision to close its Suntec and Plaza Singapura stores before the end of 2012 since expansion and growth perspectives do not allow reaching a leadership position in the medium and long term," Carrefour Singapore said in a one paragraph statement.
Carrefour announced the sale of its Thai operations to French rival Casino in November 2010 but called off plans to divest its Singapore and Malaysian outlets because the bids received were too low, sources had told Reuters. — Reuters

NEW YORK (AP) - The Bulls will be without point guard Kirk Hinrich on Monday night against Brooklyn because of a bruised left calf. His absence might give Game 4 star Nate Robinson a chance to start in the potential clincher for Chicago.
Hinrich was hurt during Saturday's 142-134 triple-overtime victory, playing through the injury to finish with 18 points and a playoff career-high 14 assists in 60 minutes.
But he was wearing a walking boot Monday, walking with a noticeable limp.
Robinson rallied the Bulls from a 14-point deficit late in the fourth quarter, scoring 29 of his 34 points after the third quarter as Chicago took a 3-1 lead in the series.

View our videos and learn how to register and get consigning!
New Consignors please be sure to click on the New Consignor Registration for the specific event you would like to register for below.
Returning consignors can click on the appropriate sale as a returning consignor to register below.
Thank you.
Lehigh Valley
Important Doc's
Buy, Sell, Recycle… it makes "cents"! Here are some great reasons to consign with us….
- We do not require a specific type of hanger and we have one registration fee per event location for unlimited items. No restrictions on quantity of certain items like baby clothing, shoes, or maternity.
- You set the price of your items and decide if you would like the opportunity to offer them at 1/2 price on the last day of the sale. You also decide whether or not to donate your items at the end of the sale or if you want to pick them up. If you mark your items as donate you will be able to print a donation report for tax purposes.
- No yard sale planning or negotiating. Items will sell at prices higher than yard sales. You will have the opportunity of selling more days than at a normal yard sale or one day event and you don't even have to be there!
- Consignors have the opportunity to sell their items at TWO locations without having to re-enter or re-tag their inventory! That's 8 selling days per season! If you don't get everything tagged in time for the first event you are still able to add items for future events. Please note, consignors are responsible to pick-up their items from one sale and move them to the next event. Registration fees and volunteer hours are per event.
- Loyal Consignors earn up to 80% of the selling price of their items by helping during the sale. New consignors earn up to 70% commission. (Check out the Team Members link for more details and available times. Team Members are also the first to shop our private presale.)
- Consignors earn a minimum of 60% of their total sales. Checks are postmarked no later than 15 days following the last day of the sale. This is NOT a credit like consignment stores give you, it is an actual check. Typically you would only receive 40% at a store if requesting your proceeds in cash. Not here! It's your money, why should we keep it?
- All consignors receive a pass for the Consignors Presale, which allows you to shop one day before we open to the public. Consignor passes are valid for one adult to enter the presale. Additional VIP passes may be purchased online. Well-supervised kids are always welcome and do not count as a guest or require a pass!
- Because of our awesome bar-coding system, you will be able to track what you have sold! Please note that your Sold Items report is updated by the morning following each sale day, it is not a "real time" report. (For example, Friday's sales are updated by Saturday morning.) Online you will see "Estimated" Earnings, this is NOT the precise amount of your check. Your check will likely be higher if you are a Team Member (helping during the sale).
- Not sure if you have the time to tag your items? Why not consider Kathy's tagging service? Kathy is one of our top consignors with much experience in consignment sales….she knows how to get your items sold! Make sure your items are clean and free of spots or stains and then contact her for pricing details at email@example.com. A limited number of openings are available for this service, so contact her early!
Sounds good, but wondering what is expected of you? Here are the steps in order…
- Register – review and agree to our Consignor Agreement and submit a non-refundable $12.50 administrative fee. (Please click on the location you wish to register for and select the option to register as a New Consignor.) This fee is for an unlimited number of items.
- Make sure your items have not been recalled. With new legislation that went into effect Feb. 10th, 2009 it is of utmost importance to verify all items. The law indicates the reseller (that is you, the consignor) is responsible for this. Please remember that The Clothing Tree, LLC is not the reseller. We facilitate the event, we do not own your items; therefore, you are the reseller. There are now serious legal actions that can be taken by the government should you choose to sell a recalled item. This includes things like strollers, pack & plays, cribs, as well as toys and clothing. Click here for an easy to use resource to check your items for recall. PLEASE NOTE: Per our Consignor Agreement, there will be a fee of $15 per item deducted from your consignor commission check (regardless of the price of the item) if your item is found to be on a recall list after you leave your drop-off appointment. Please check your things before your appointment!
- Enter your items and set your price in our super-easy online tagging system. Print your tags on white card stock from your own computer and attach them to the items.(For further instructions please see How to Tag and Accepted Items). All clothing items need to be on hangers. For your convenience, we do not require a specific type of hanger. Please note that hangers are not returned to you, but if you choose to pick up your items following the sale we often have some available for you to take home in preparation for the next sale. You may also try local dry cleaners, often they give away the hangers that customers bring their items in on. Try posting a "Wanted: Hangers" ad on Craigslist. Occasionally department stores will give away hangers that customers do not keep. You may also order hangers from us on our Tagging Supplies page. (We do not ship hangers due to the cost, you will need to pick them up.)
- Schedule your drop-off appointment. When you arrive for your appointment please leave your items in your vehicle and remain with your car. You will be greeted by a staff member at your car and provided further instructions. If someone does not come out within 5 minutes, please come to the door and let us know you have arrived. If you have not electronically signed your Consignor Agreement online, please click on the link and print it out, review, and sign. You will wait with your vehicle while we check your items. There are playgrounds at both of our locations, so feel free to let the kids play while you wait.

But it's not the job of the government to beat us like we're misbehaving kids. What Indonesia needs is an armed citizenry and they'd have a more just government.
More likely, her reason is to draw attention to injustice like the highly publicized woman on Sudan who was an UN ambassador and resigned that position so she could be punished for wearing pants and she's claiming baser goals.

The narrowest house in Amsterdam
13178 Views
The ring of canals in Amsterdam is dotted with several unusually narrow houses. One of the most famous is the building at Singel 7, which is often labelled as the narrowest house in the world. With a width of only one meter (about 3 ft., 3 in.), the house is barely wider than its own front door. In all fairness, it should be said that this is actually the rear façade of a house; the front is a bit wider. A better title for the house at Singel 7 would be the house with the narrowest façade in the world.
The Kleine Trippenhuis
At Kloveniersburgwal 26 stands a house with a beautiful cornice gable, 2.44 meters (about 8 ft.) wide. This house is known as the "Kleine Trippenhuis," or "the House of the Mr. Trip's Coachman". Oddly enough, this house is right across the street from the Trippenhuis at number 29, a building that, with its width of 22 meters (72 ft. 2 in.), is the widest house in Amsterdam. It was built in 1660 by the very wealthy brothers Lodewijk and Hendrick Trip. As the story goes, one day Mr. Trip's coachman proclaimed, "Goodness, I would even be happy with a house that is as wide as my master's front door." Mr. Trip heard this and made sure that the coachman got his wish.
Narrowest house and the narrowest street
For even more "narrow" experiences, visit the narrowest house in Europe, located at Oude Hoogstraat 22. This tiny house features a typical Amsterdam bell-gable. The façade is a mere 2.02 meters (6 ft., 7.5 in.) wide, and the house itself is six meters (19 ft., 8 in.) deep.
Measuring only 100 centimeters in width (about 3 ft., 3 in.), the Trompettersteeg is the narrowest street in Amsterdam. The street is located in the Wallen districts, and prostitutes pose behind their windows on both sides of the street. Tour guides love to take tourists down this street, thus making it one of the most crowded streets in Amsterdam.

Logically, those sentences are completely equivalent; however, the first one presupposes that the task will be easy and the second one presupposes that it'll be hard. Most people don't consciously notice the difference, but they'll tend to respond to the first instruction with ease and the second with difficulty. Here's another language pairing:
"As a therapist, you can change what you do rapidly and quickly."
"As a therapist thinking back on your experiences of doing therapy, you may notice how enjoyable it can be to remember times when you could change what you did rapidly and quickly."
The first sentence, directed at conscious understanding, is pretty dry. It's easy to find counterexamples to it or reject it completely; however, when the first sentence is included in the second sentence, nested within several layers of presupposition and with a different verb tense, it'll usually be accepted. Listeners will agree with such a statement, often without consciously realizing it, whether or not they actually review their experiences to find examples.
Since every sentence contains presuppositions, and since language is processed automatically and unconsciously, we tend to accept presuppositions without challenge. If you can deliver enough resourceful presuppositions, you may never have to resolve the presenting problem, because clients will figure out how to do that on their own.
Recategorization or redescription is one of the commonest and most useful kinds of reframing, because the new description carries a host of different presuppositions and implications. I once saw psychiatrist Carl Whitaker, a founder of family therapy, demonstrate family therapy with a divorced couple whose teenage son lived with the mother. The mother was animated and sexy as she spoke at length about how wonderful the son was, how she confided in him, talking to him about her problems, and what a good relationship she had with him. Just after she mentioned yet another way in which she and he were getting along so well, Whitaker said to the mother, as he gestured with one hand first toward the mother and then to the son, "So your second marriage worked out much better than your first one," gesturing toward the father.
The mother looked as if her brain had completely stopped working for several seconds. Clearly she'd never thought of her relationship with her son as a "marriage," but from then on, it would be impossible for her not to. Whitaker often said, "Clients can agree with me or disagree with me, but they can't ignore me."
When the mother recovered from her confusion, she vehemently disagreed with the recategorization of her relationship with her son as a marriage. Whitaker calmly replied, "Yes, well, I'm not available, either," a very interesting communication that at first glance seems to be irrelevant and completely "off the wall." Let's unpack it.
By saying, "Yes," he's agreeing with her that her relationship with her son isn't a marriage. "I'm not available" in the context means "not available for marriage." The word either implies that someone else is also unavailable, and in this context, it can only be the son. To summarize, Whitaker is agreeing with the mother that her relationship with her son isn't a marriage, but only because the son isn't "available."
In the normal flow of conversation, few of these presuppositions will be conscious, but they'll be processed unconsciously, and they'll force the mother to review all aspects of her relationship with her son and consider whether they're appropriate. This recategorization was particularly effective because it was presupposed, rather than stated, and because an essential part of the communication was delivered by Whitaker's nonverbal hand gestures. If he'd simply said, "You're acting as if you're married to your son," that would have been a conscious-mind "interpretation," which would have annoyed the mother and been easy to dismiss.
Salvador Minuchin once began a session with a family in which a 10-year-old boy was sniffing gasoline by saying, "I understand you like to sniff gasoline. What do you think you are, an automobile?" The whole family relaxed a little at this joking recategorization of the boy as a machine, and the serious problem became a bit less serious and easier to resolve.
Less obvious is that Minuchin presupposed that the boy's behavior was a result of his likes, rather than resulting from a pathological compulsion or some other mysterious deviant motive. Then Minuchin went on to say, "Which do you prefer: unleaded or regular?" amplifying his view of this behavior as resulting from the boy's preferences, and implying that the boy could distinguish between different kinds of gasoline. Minuchin next took a sip of the herbal tea he'd been holding, smelled it, and said, "I wonder what kind of tea this is?" He turned to the boy, held out his cup, and said, "Since you have a good nose, tell me what kind of tea this is."

anybody want to say anything that they'll regret tommorow when nothing happens?

I love it. The people who buy into this crap aren't practicing members of the Mayan culture or religion. So, assuming for the sake of argument that the Mayan calendar actually prophesies the end of the world this year, the Mayans were, in the eyes of believers, wrong in just about everything they held to be true about matters of culture, religion, cosmology, and the fundamental nature of time and the universe, but when it came to predicting the end of the world, they got that part right.
They got every single piece of the equation wrong, but somehow produced the right answer. That's pretty fucking impressive.

Need fed programs
In "Just take it all" (Forum, May 9), David Barnes sees the proposal to have online retailers charge the same sales tax that local merchants do as just another government attempt to add yet another tax. He fears socialism is taking over.
What's he moaning about? Americans are getting value for what they're paying for, and it's for something they want.
The two biggest federal programs are Social Security and Medicare, and so far they're covered by their own payroll taxes, not income tax. Does Barnes want them eliminated? The American people don't.
Almost as big as Social Security is spending for defense and security. We certainly benefit from that.
Most of what we think of as bloated government accounts for only 13 percent of federal outlays including national parks and public lands, the Environmental Protection Agency, the departments of Agriculture, Justice, Commerce, Education, Transportation, Energy, etc. That's a lot a bang for those bucks, including clean air and safe food and air travel.
If we cut government too much, we'll all suffer. Especially those who can't afford to replace what the government does.

Many years would pass before an actual railroad crossed the northern part of Lebanon County.
This line opened between Pine Grove and Rausch's Gap in June 1854. By April 1859, it was organized as the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Railroad Company or the "S&S", and later became part of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad by 1872.
At the same time the S & S was completing its rail line, the North Lebanon Railroad Company was incorporated in 1849. It received its charter on May 25, 1850, from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Built originally to transport iron ore from the Cornwall Ore Banks to the Union Canal, and the North Lebanon Furnace, the railroad was completed by 1855.
The Lebanon Valley Railroad was incorporated by the Pennsylvania State Legislature on April 1, 1836, and according to Railroads of Lebanon County "it took a few supplementary acts and another fourteen years before construction was ever begun."
The first train between Reading and Lebanon operated on June 30, 1857 with a locomotive named New England. It would be another seven months before train travel carried passengers between Reading and Harrisburg. Mail was carried by February 1858, and the local stage was relieved of its duty.
Another railroad from Lebanon to Conewago Junction, Lancaster County, followed in 1883, when the Cornwall and Lebanon and Colebrook Valley Railroads opened for business. These two railroads eventually merged to form one corporation, The Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad, in 1886. Established by local iron magnate Robert Habersham Coleman, it would merge into the Pennsylvania Railroad by 1918.
Lebanon County's first electrically operated railway or trolley began as the Lebanon and Annville Street Railway, incorporated as early as May 14, 1889.
Other transit lines also came into Lebanon, including the Hershey Transit Company from Hershey via Campbelltown in 1911, and the Ephrata and Lebanon Street Railway (later the Lancaster, Ephrata and Lebanon Street Railway) from Ephrata, Lancaster County, via Kleinfeltersville and Schaefferstown to Lebanon, in May 1915.
With the increased availability and use of the automobile, train and trolley travel suffered greatly.
Passenger travel by train continued on the Reading System, but in conjunction with their bus lines, especially after World War II. The last passenger train on the Reading Railroad came to Lebanon June 30, 1963, and thus ended 106 years of rail passenger service to the Lebanon Valley. This same rail line continues to service freight only customers by Norfolk Southern Railway Company.
Carriages and automobiles, while drastically different, need some mention in the history of Lebanon County transportation. Carriages were made throughout the County, including Myerstown, Lebanon, Annville, Jonestown, Fredericksburg and even Campbelltown. The Saylor Carriage Works in Annville, according to the 1875 Atlas of Lebanon County, was then the oldest and largest establishment in the County.
John L. Saylor (1833-1923), the founder, began operating his own carriage business by 1870. His son Clayton P. entered the business in 1882, and it became John L. Saylor and Son. After the elder Saylor's retirement, Clayton continued to operate the business, even after the "horseless" carriage (automobile) became popular. Clayton retired in 1926.
William C. Fauber founded his carriage works at Lebanon in 1857, and an example of his work can be found at the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan. Henry Lenig, a Civil War veteran, started a coach manufactory in Campbelltown circa 1866 and it continued under the direction of the Zeiger Family into the late nineteenth century.
Automobiles were manufactured in Lebanon very briefly. The earliest was the Keystone Steam Carriage, made here in 1899 by the Keystone Match and Machine Company, at what is the present day location of the Jubilee Shop on South 12th Street, Lebanon.
Following at this same location was the manufacture of the Upton. Named for company co-founder Colcord Upton, its first car was completed January 10, 1905, at the then worldly sum of $2,500. The company continued manufacturing a limited amount of autos until closing in 1907. Today, no Uptons are known to exist.
Presently, Lebanon County's public transportation needs are supported by Lebanon Transit. Originally called COLT (County of Lebanon Transit), it changed to its present name on May 3, 2010, a result of instituting daily service from Lebanon to Harrisburg.

Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift may all have Grammys, but Bethany Joy Galeotti has something those three don't. Her 2008 EP entitled "Mission Bell" landed the second spot on iTunes Folk Charts!
The EP consists of seven songs. The first three are from her band Everly, which she co-headlines with friend Amber Sweeney. Those first three tracks encompass all of what an indie folk rock band should be. With soft melodies and excellent harmonizing radiating from this album, the desire to not sway along with this music is unheard of. The star of those three tracks is "Home Is Me-You Are Mine." The song was written as a tribute to the American troops fighting overseas. It evokes a sense of longing that is portrayed so genuinely, that it enables the song to connect with any situation having to do with a yearning sense of love.
The next four tracks however, consist of songs that were performed by Galeotti on her hit television series "One Tree Hill." On an episode called "We Three (My Echo, My Shadow and Me)" the cast is thrown through a time warp and land in the forties. Galeotti's sultry crooning is a magnificent mixture of Billie Holiday and her own personal vocal style. The end result is a match made in heaven.
Galeotti's newest achievement is the third volume of B Tracks from Everly. She once again teams up with Sweeney and the rest of the Everly crew to bring three tracks of fun. "Flying Machine" and "Girl in the Moon" are originals, but all Pat Benatar fans know the last track is not an original piece. The band brings an inspirational and powerful performance of "We Belong" to end the ride.
Bethany Joy Galeotti is a gifted actress and an extremely talented singer/songwriter. Many of her songs have been featured on her hit television series and if she keeps making more music like this, The CW is bound to feature her over and over again.
Bethany may not have a Grammy… yet. Her story is just beginning.

Shoppers wait in line in front of Best Buy in Fond du Lac during Black Friday shopping hours.

Facing increased competition from online retailers, a growing number of brick-and-mortar stores, including Target, Sears and Walmart, are starting Black Friday sales on Thursday, with some stores opening as early as 8 p.m., a time many employees might otherwise spend with family.
The move, according to one workplace authority, is likely to pay off for both retailers and job seekers, but warned there is the risk of negative fallout in the form of decreased employee morale and consumer backlash.

Ligand Partner GSK Gains Priority Review Designation for Promacta™/Revolade™ for Severe Aplastic Anemia
Ligand Pharmaceuticals has announced that the FDA has granted its partner GlaxoSmithKline Priority Review designation for Promacta™/Revolade™ (eltrombopag) for the treatment of cytopenias in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) who have had insufficient response to immunosuppressive therapy.
SAA is a rare disorder in which the bone marrow fails to make enough new blood cells. There are no approved therapies available for SAA patients who are unresponsive to initial immunosuppressive therapy (IST). Of those patients unresponsive to initial IST, approximately 40% die from infection or bleeding within five years of their diagnosis. i
In February 2014, Ligand announced that GSK had gained Breakthrough Therapy designation for Promacta in Severe Aplastic Anemia. Also in February 2014, GSK announced the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Promacta for the treatment of cytopenias (a reduction in blood cells) in patients with SAA who have had an insufficient response to IST. The sNDA is based on the results from an open-label, Phase II National Institute of Health (NIH) study (09-H-0154) of eltrombopag in 43 heavily pre-treated SAA patients with an insufficient response to IST.

Ginny Steen, founder of The Neighborhood Table was announced as winner of the local Jefferson Award for the month of October. Announcement of the award occurred just prior to The Neighborhood Table's meal on Thursday, by WAOW TV 9 in partnership with the Marshfield Clinic.
"Ginny is truly deserving of the Jefferson Award," said Dale Bikowski, president of The Neighborhood Table. "She was the catalyst and the driving force that got our free meal program off the ground and running. Ginny guided us as we evolved and expanded over the years, and now we are a pretty well-oiled machine totally run by volunteers who care about those in need in our community.
"Ginny continues to be actively involved, and we appreciate her as a great resource," Bikowski said.
The Jefferson Awards were established in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. Senator Robert Taft, Jr. and Sam Beard. The purpose of the awards is to honor individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service in order to inspire and encourage others to get involved. The Jefferson Awards are presented on two levels: national and local. National award recipients represent a "Who's Who" of outstanding Americans. On the local level, Jefferson Awards recipients are ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition or reward. The Jefferson Awards is the nation's largest media partnership highlighting service to America.
The Neighborhood Table is staffed by volunteers who carry out the meal/soup kitchen program by offering a free meal to anyone who is in need. Meals are served 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, 320 Oak St., Wisconsin Rapids. Carry-outs available Thursdays only.

VIDEO: Jamie Hanson in frame for goal award
Posted: May 14, 2013|
DERBY County's Jamie Hanson has been shortlisted in the League Football Education's April Goal of the Month competition.
His free kick in the under-18's 3-2 victory away to Coventry City is in a list of nine goals.
The 17-year-old defender or midfielder has also been a regular in the Rams' under-21 side and he is proving to be something of a specialist at set-pieces.
He scored from free kicks in both the Rams' FA Youth Cup wins against Ipswich Town and Manchester City and has also been on the bench for the first team this season.

Hanson was named Scholar of the Year at Derby's recent awards' dinner.
The goal of the month competition features the best goals from Under 18 Academy players at Football League.

I am making shorts with a front zipper and waist band. It has been a while since I made anything with a fitted waist.
I am short from waist to hip and slant down in the front.
What is causing me problems is the hip fluff on the side. Maybe not a problem as I got the band to fit but I don't understnd how the shaping can be so odd?
I lowered the center back stitching line by 1/2". I lowered the stitching line at center front by 3/4". At the side I had to lower the stitching line by 1 1/4".
So the waist band sits higher at center back then swoops down at the side seam then back up for center front.
Anybody else have this odd shape?
You would think with the hip fluff the sides would be higher than center front and back?
It took me all day to get the pattern to fit and sewn together. They do fit well but I don't like how they look on me. Maybe it's the length? After DH gets home from work I will get some pictures and post so you ladies can tell me what you think.
Your shape is not odd! It is unique to you. I am lower in the center back at my waistline but loooong to the end of my fanny. Front is lower also. I have to add to the side seams to fit my hip fluff and can no longer wear fitted waistbands. The band must be all gathers or all gathered in the back and flat in the front.

Clearwater High student wins second place prize in national video contest
Clearwater High junior Alexandra "Allie" Chandler won second place in C-SPAN's annual StudentCam contest for her video documentary about protecting students from gun violence.
CSPAN's national video documentary competition encourages students to think seriously about issues affecting communities and the nation. The StudentCam 2013 contest asked students to create a short video documentary on the following theme: "Message to the President — What's the most important issue that the president should consider in 2013."
Allie's video "Guns in Our Schools" offers suggestions for making schools safer. Allie's mother, Lisa, was a student at Pinellas Park High on Feb. 11, 1988, and witnessed the mayhem that followed the fatal shooting of beloved assistant principal Richard Allen by one of the students. Allie featured her mom's story in her award-winning project, which she dedicated to Richard Allen and the hundreds of lives lost in school shootings.
C-SPAN announced Allie's award and others on Wednesday, March 6. Allie, as well as three other second place high school winners, will each receive $1,500, according to contest details.
Allie hopes the award will draw more attention to the topic and motivate others who see her video to take action, too.
It's also rewarding to receive recognition for doing something she truly enjoys, she said.
"This is my passion. This is what I love to do," said Allie, 17. "Some kids play sports. Some kids are really good at academics. This is what I'm best at, in my opinion."
Allie initially planned to produce a video on another topic, but changed her mind after seeing a news report about the Newtown shootings.
"It kind of inspired me to look at the security issues we have and how we can improve and fix them," Allie said.
Allie's teacher, Cara Ryan, said Allie deserves the recognition.
"She's a very community-spirited child. She's very aware of her talent, but wants to use it for good. She's the kind of kid that wants to change the world and make it a better place," said Ryan who teaches journalism, film and video at Clearwater High.
Allie is well known for her work at Clearwater High School. Over the past three years, Allie has been awarded first place in various competitions, including the Educational Media Awards, Pinellas County School Board video contests, Future Business Leaders of America national contests and the Allstate Insurance & More Health Anti-Texting and Driving Video Campaign.
Allie is also president of her class, president of Clearwater High's Future Business Leaders of America, vice president of the school's digital media productions group and executive director of Clearwater High's lip dub for multiple causes.
