Football Announces 2013 Schedule
DES MOINES, Iowa – The defending back-to-back Pioneer Football League champion Drake University football team has announced a challenging 2013 schedule that features 11 contests, including six home games and a road contest at in-state foe Northern Iowa.
"We are very excited about our 2013 schedule," Drake head coach Chris Creighton said. "Our night game with Grand View on the first Thursday night of the college football season has been well attended and has been competitive. We are also looking forward to our game at one of the nation's top FCS programs, Northern Iowa."
The Bulldogs open up their campaign on Thursday, Aug. 29 at home against crosstown opponent Grand View under the lights at Drake Stadium for a 6 p.m. kickoff. It is the second straight season Drake has opened up the season against the Vikings with the Bulldogs winning last year's opener, 28-8.
On Sept. 7, Drake renews the in-state rivalry with Northern Iowa in a 4 p.m. contest at the UNI-Dome. The Bulldogs and Panthers last met in a 45-7 UNI win in 2007 at Drake Stadium. The 2013 meeting will be the 47th all-time in the series with the Bulldogs holding a 45-20-1 advantage in the series.
An off week follows before the team's final non-conference game against Indianapolis on Sept. 21 at Drake Stadium in a 1 p.m. kickoff. The Bulldogs' quest for a third consecutive PFL title and automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs begins on the road Sept. 28 at new PFL member Mercer in a noon, CST, kickoff against the Bears.
The Bulldogs return to Drake Stadium for Homecoming against Jacksonville on Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. before returning to the road to Davidson on Oct. 12 in the first meeting between the two conference foes since 2010.
A road trip to fellow 2012 PFL co-champion Butler follows on Oct. 19. Butler will have revenge on the agenda after Drake laid claim to a stake of the 2012 title with a 45-20 trouncing of Butler last season in Des Moines.
A three-game homestand starts the stretch run of the season on Oct. 26 against Valparaiso followed by a noon game on Nov. 2 against Morehead State and a Nov. 9 date with the only PFL team to defeat Drake last season, Dayton.
The regular season wraps up on the road Nov. 16 at perennial PFL power San Diego. The Bulldogs and Toreros shared the 2012 PFL title with Butler thanks to a 38-10 Drake win over USD at Drake Stadium in a contest that saw the Bulldog defense force a season-high six turnovers.
"Our PFL schedule includes a game at Mercer, one of two new teams in our league and we get the opportunity to play Davidson again after a two year hiatus," Creighton said. "We learn every year that in our league, if you don't bring your best each week you will lose. It is exciting to play quality opponents week in and week out in the conference season."
Drake will begin its on-field preparation for the 2013 season and the defense of its PFL title with spring practices starting on March 27 and continuing through the annual spring game on April 20 in Drake Stadium.

Many churches today are experiencing difficulty. Maybe your church is one of those. If you have been working on areas to address the lack of growth but not finding a solution, would you consider becoming a part of a pilot project? Sylvan Knobloch, IBSA director of Church Health Ministries is seeking ten churches to participate in a project to determine a successful intervention strategy for declining churches.

DALLAS | GuideStone has new guidelines for enrollment in its medical Personal Plans, effective July 1. Churches and ministries eligible to offer GuideStone's medical Personal Plans will be able to add new employees and their families to the Personal Plans within 60 days of employment.
For the first half of 2014, due to the uncertainties in the health care market as a result of the Affordable Care Act, GuideStone imposed temporary guidelines that limited enrollment to participants experiencing HIPAA special enrollment events, such as marriage, birth, adoption or loss of coverage.
Under the new guidelines, new employees of an eligible Personal Plan church or ministry can enter the health plan within 60 days of employment or HIPAA special enrollment event. Further, covered individuals may continue to add dependents to the health plan due to such events.
Church employees who began their employment between January 1 and July 1, 2014 may enroll themselves and eligible family members through August 1, 2014.
"The Affordable Care Act has created unprecedented changes and challenges for all health plans, including church health plans," said GuideStone President O.S. Hawkins. "GuideStone has been diligently seeking legislative, regulatory and judicial recognition of the unique nature and needs of church plans, with the continued goal of keeping the plan strong and stable. At the same time, GuideStone continues to explore ways of providing coverage to new enrollees in a manner consistent with that goal. GuideStone has determined that this change will enable us to balance ministry objectives with good stewardship."

Persons With Persistent Multiple Barriers (PPMB)
Overview: March 24, 2009
Effective: March 24, 2009
The Persons with Persistent Multiple Barriers (PPMB) category provides assistance to clients who have long-term barriers to employment that are not expected to be overcome in the short term despite all reasonable steps by the client. PPMB clients are exempt from employment obligations. An earnings exemption is available to encourage clients who want to work to try employment, gain experience, participate more fully in the community as they are able, and earn more income.
Clients may be assessed for PPMB if they have been on assistance for at least 12 of the past 15 months and are unable to achieve financial independence. Family units where one or both clients are eligible for PPMB may be provided the higher support rate and additional supplements.
PPMB applies to clients who are eligible under the Employment and Assistance Act. PPMB is not included in the Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Act. Therefore, PPMB cannot be assessed for spouses of clients with the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) designation.
It is recognized that some clients in this category may overcome their barriers over time and improve their employability while others may not. Some may have medical conditions that worsen over time and require additional supports. This is why the PPMB category provides clients with time and supports to overcome their barriers and move towards independence, or transition to other client categories, including PWD designation.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (portuguese version).
Since one month that I am not able to get updates.
I have already tried:
- checked for viruses with AVG9, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Windows
Malicious Software Removal. No virus found.
- checked and restart all services required (windows update, Background
Intelligent Transfer Service, Windows Event Log and Software Licensing).
- run the batch file

sc config bits start= auto

net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net start DcomLaunch
- checked if my windows and office were genuine - ok
I do not have any more ideas.
I need some help.
The correct error code is 80070422.
First, ensure that these Services are set to these Startup types:
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) - Manual
Windows Event Log - Automatic
Windows Installer - Manual
Windows Modules Installer - Manual
Windows Update - Automatic (Delayed Start)
If they are or were, suggest you clean boot Vista:

Once Vista is in the Clean boot state, ensure that the native Windows
firewall is Enabled as the system must be connected to the internet when
you do the next steps:

Click the Fixit button and choose to *save* MicrosoftFixit50202.msi.
When the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
Now run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose the *Aggressive mode*.
When the Fixit has finished it is operation, restart the system.
While *still* in the Clean boot state, see if the system can search for,
download, and install updates now.
If it can, then AVG9 was the most likely culprit of the updating issue.
UNdo the Clean boot steps, restart, and see if the system can check for
updates now.

After selling Ogre I considered keeping his wagon and having the shafts modified to fit Luna, but I think I'd rather get a two-wheeled cart for her. This wagon was custom built for our 46" tall pony, but it may fit up to a 13 hh. Pony (depending on how wide they are).
I've only had it for three years and it's still in great condition. I only used on our country roads. It fits nicely in the back of a full sized truck (with the shafts removed).
This is who I ordered it from if you want to check out the quality of his other wagons/carts. Buggybobs.com Our pony harnessed to the wagon is pictured on one of his testimonials pages.
Anyway, give me a shout if you're interested. I'm located in the very southern part of Michigan close to the OH and IN borders. I'm asking $600.
Thanks for looking!
(It's not letting me upload photos, I'll keep trying...)

Baby, it's cold outside - but Wisconsin's next generation of Great Lakes trout and salmon are safe and warm inside the state's fish hatcheries and growing bigger by the day -- for the day when they'll be stocked into Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.
"Most people only see the hatchery at work when it comes time to stock fish," says Al Kaas, propagation chief for the Department of Natural Resources.

IFPI's Digital Music Report 2012 offers many insightful observations about today's music world, most of which give us further reasons to be bullish about the industry's future. But we were struck by one particularly sober observation. Page 24 of the report examines important role search engines such as Google play in connecting consumers with music. Unfortunately, all too often the top search results provided by Google and others link to sites offering unauthorized music. In fact, according to research done in England, 23% of consumers regularly download music illegally using Google as their means to find the content (Harris Interactive, September 2010). Further research in New Zealand highlights that 54% of users who illegally downloaded music said they found the unauthorized music through a search engine (Ipsos MediaCT, October 2011).
Instead of leaving it at that, IFPI conducted research of their own and found that searches for the top five artists in November 2011's Billboard Top 100 chart plus the term "mp3" (the dominant file format for digital music) found the vast majority of search results on the first page – on average over 70% – were illegal, with Google being the biggest culprit.
Artist infringing results from search for artist name and 'MP3'
Google Yahoo! Bing
Adele 77% 62% 70%
Rihanna 86% 71% 65%
Maroon 5 82% 67% 75%
Foster The People 55% 57% 60%
Source: IFPI
Contrast these with results from a different survey in the UK recently conducted by BPI and IPSOS that found that the vast majority (79%) of respondents stated that they rely on search engines to identify trusted websites at the top of search results, and 84% of respondents agreed that search engines should direct users to legal sites rather than illegal ones.
As we continue the discussion here on how best to address rogue sites, all this places a profound emphasis on the need for greater responsibility of search engines like Google in playing a more proactive role to address digital copyright theft by de-prioritizing illicit sites. After all, according to a joint survey by Jupiter Research and marketing firm iProspect, 62% of users never navigate away from the first page of search results, which puts "increased importance of being found in the first top results."
Given its dominance in the search market, it should be unacceptable that Google's search results prioritize illegal sites – those which we've flagged for Google via multiple notices covering hundreds of thousands of infringements – before legal ones, and for them to brazenly refuse to do anything about it. Search engines should come to the table and work with content owners to find meaningful ways to discourage this unlawful activity that costs the creative community thousands of jobs and exposes consumers to harmful viruses and spyware.

They all should have some incremental improvements, so if you have a choice between two used lenses of the same focal length, you might just pick the newest one or the one in better condition.

Near where the ambulances pull in, a row of tiny snowmen stand sentry.
That handful of friendly Frosties appeared at HCR ManorCare Kingston Court earlier this week, according to building activities director Kristen Cronise. The idea at the Springettsbury Township facility was to spark a little winter fun for residents.
So Cronise planned the project, and afterward she posted a picture on Facebook and in the York Daily Record's online gallery. From the local deep freeze, a warm response has followed.
"I didn't think it would be this big," Cronise said. "Everybody's been talking about it."
On Tuesday morning, the activities director first made her way through a labyrinth of hallways, smiling at co-workers, pushing a cart heaped with fluffy snow. She gathered about 20 willing residents.
And then the creativity kicked in.
Cronise said the sculptors – including both long-term residents and short-term rehabilitation clients – spent a few hours building the miniature snowmen. Staff offered tips on the best sculpting methods (force to form the bottom; finesse to ease on the top) and cups of water to create consistency. There were buttons and beads for decoration.
"Come on, there's snow out there," she said. "You have to make a snowman."
Cronise and a helper then placed the finished snowmen outside, lining them up in a frozen flower bed, under an overhang in case the sun came out. They snapped a few pictures. And everyone had a great time.
"I think it reminded them of when they were younger," she said of the sculptors. "They loved it."
Since then, staff in surrounding Manor Care buildings has complimented the work, Cronise said, and more snowman parties are being planned just in time for the next winter storm, likely soon on its way.
After a frigid few weeks, news of more snow is enough to make many groan. But Cronise spoke of the looks and the smiles – maybe even a dusting of magic – found this week in the frosty flowerbed of an ambulance bay. It's just good thoughts, she said, and a few old buttons.
But sometimes a little joy can spread, over the hills of snow.

Outdoor fun at Michigan's state parks doesn't stop when the snow starts flying. Parks across the state offer wintertime activities, so Michigan motorists who have winter birthdays shouldn't forget to buy Recreation Passports when they renew their plate tabs or get new plates, Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and Department of Natural Resources Director Rodney Stokes reminded residents recently.
Many state parks offer snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing opportunities, among other wintertime outdoor activities, and state boat launches let anglers find new ice-fishing spots. Select state parks offer winter camping opportunities in lodges and mini-cabins.
"For many Michigan outdoor enthusiasts, winter is the best time of the year," Johnson said. "I encourage people renewing their plate tab to help support our state's exceptional parks by buying a Recreation Passport. For only $10, the natural wonder of Michigan parks can be yours."
The Recreation Passport allows Michigan residents the option of paying an additional $10 a car or truck or $5 a motorcycle when renewing a vehicle registration or registering a new vehicle. The letter "P" is printed on the vehicle tab of people who have bought the Recreation Passport. The passport allows entry into all state parks, natural areas and boat launches for no additional cost and is valid for the entire time the license plate tab is.
"Whether you enjoy lying on a sandy beach on a hot summer day or hitting the trails on skis when temperatures dip below zero, Michigan parks have something for you," Stokes said. "No matter the season, the interest in the Recreation Passport has been incredible. But people who might have missed the opportunity to buy one the first time around now can get one when they renew their plates."
People without a Recreation Passport also are able to buy one when entering a state park.
In its first year of existence, more than 24 percent of Michigan motorists participated in the Recreation Passport program, resulting in more than $18.8 million for state parks and state forest recreation programs. Out of the money raised, the Department of Natural Resources last month handed out almost $600,000 in grants to 24 local communities for recreational facilities.
Motorists can renew plates for individually owned or leased cars, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles up to six months before they expire. They can renew online at www.ExpressSOS.com, through the mail or at a Secretary of State office even if they have not received their renewal information in the mail.
People can learn more about the state parks Recreation Passport at www.Michigan.gov/recreationpassport.

They are located in Russia and for us in the US to buy the Disney designs it is a copyright violation so order at your own risk. I don't do business with any companies outside the US. With the exception of Embird. -- Edited on 9/13/12 2:50 PM --
They have many designs that are not Disney.
They used to have some free designs, but their stuff has a tendency to be bulletproof. I buy from Hatched in Africa and Embird (both of whom are non U.S. companies), but only use paypal. I never buy from Russia. They are the wild wild west of internet crooks.
January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in. January 2011 to the present: 47 yards out and 69 yards in.
I only buy designs from known, reputable digitizing companies.
Viruses can come into a computer and/or sewing machine from infected designs.
If you give it a try, definitely let us know how it goes.

Thank you for your post, StitchBuddy, because this is good information for us to know.
I buy from Hatched in Africa (South Africa) so am not afraid to purchase from outside the U.S. Likewise, there are some "inside" the U.S. designs that I avoid because I do not know anything about the digitizer or their reputation. Better safe than sorry.
I wasn't the one who said about viruses. Also Disney designs are legal here except if you have a Brother machine. Also about doing business with counties overseas I just heard too many horror stories about credit card theft etc. I wasn't saying all European companies were bad. But why buy something overseas I can get right here?
-- Edited on 9/16/12 10:32 AM --
I have used quite a few of their designs including their free designs. I have never had a problem with Paypal payment or their designs.

Shalom Farms
Thousands in Richmond lack access to healthy food. Many also lack the tools and resources to prepare and share it. Shalom Farms seeks to collaboratively transform the Richmond food system so that all people have access to good food – food that is good for our bodies, good for the environment, and good for our communities. Through hands-on experiences on the farm and in the city, Shalom Farms and our diverse partners are making a difference on dinner plates all over the Richmond area.
We work to:
1) Grow an array of healthy produce to provide to underserved communities
2) Provide introductory experiential learning opportunities for children and adults on:
- growing food
- overcoming barriers to cooking and eating nutritionally
- food-based entrepreneurship
3) Link community groups to a wide range of resources and partners, using a strengths-based approach to build individual and community self-sufficiency
On the Farm:
Our 6-acre sustainable farm at Westview on the James in Goochland, Virginia is an agricultural learning lab for visitors and volunteers of all backgrounds and an abundant source of fresh local produce for communities with low access to healthy food. In 2013, over 3,000 volunteers got their hands dirty helping to grow and harvest over 70,000 pounds of produce at Shalom Farm. Visitors gain hands-on education and experience in sustainable food production and become active participants in bettering the area's food system.
In the City:
Our Youth-Run Farm Stand Program offers kids an opportunity to become agents of positive change, develop skills in food-based entrepreneurship, and provide a direct access point for affordable fresh produce in underserved neighborhoods.
Our Prescription Produce Plan equips communities with the skills, knowledge, and good food options necessary to overcome preventable illnesses associated with unhealthy diets. Prescriptions include weekly deliveries of fresh produce from the farm and educational programming around healthy eating.
Our partners use Shalom Farms produce in food pantries, pop-up markets, meal programs, and educational activities.

Ireland will emerge from crisis stronger - Mary Robinson
Published 15/01/2013 | 05:00
FORMER President Mary Robinson has said that Ireland will emerge stronger than ever from the current economic crisis.
"I think Ireland has benefited from a very tough lesson. We recognise that this is the toughest time we've been through in modern Ireland. It's hurting people terribly, but we will come through stronger and I hope we will come through fairer, with a real sense of what Ireland itself can achieve," Ms Robinson stated.
She acknowledged that Ireland was going through "another wave" of emigration, something she felt the country could use to renew itself.
She noted that modern emigration was different in that young people "know that they want to come back and be more equipped for the modern Ireland".
"We need to be a country that these young people want to come back to and that's the challenge for the rest of us."
Speaking to student journalists at NUI Galway, she also revealed her upset regarding the recent surge in youth suicides.
"I find it very, very distressing that so many young people in Ireland don't feel that sense of hope in themselves, that sense of potential," she said.
Ms Robinson alluded to her work with the Elders, a human rights advocacy group founded by Nelson Mandela, where members are encouraged to tell young people that they are the future, "not in a glib way, but in a really affirming way".

The birds, two American Robins, were found on June 6, 2012 in the Tahoe Keys area of South Lake Tahoe. There have been no human cases of West Nile virus reported in El Dorado County for 2012.

El Dorado County Environmental Management and Health Services Departments received confirmation on June 13, 2012 that West Nile virus has been detected in two birds found in the South Lake Tahoe area; the first confirmed positive results for 2012. The birds, two American Robins, were found on June 6, 2012 in the Tahoe Keys area of South Lake Tahoe. There have been no human cases of West Nile virus reported in El Dorado County for 2012.
"Confirmation of West Nile virus positive birds means the virus is circulating in the community and there is a heightened risk of infection in humans," said Interim El Dorado County Health Officer Dr. Robert Hartmann. "It appears that West Nile season has arrived early this year. Residents are urged to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites."
West Nile virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes pick up the virus when they feed on infected birds. The illness is not spread from person-to-person. Most people infected with West Nile virus show no symptoms. However, some people may experience high fever, severe headache, tiredness and/or a stiff neck which may last several days to several weeks. The most serious cases of West Nile virus infection can lead to encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, which can be fatal.
Mosquito surveillance programs are in place throughout the county. Programs include trapping and identifying mosquitoes, treating neglected swimming pools and reporting and testing dead birds and tree squirrels. In addition, physicians are encouraged to routinely test human cases of viral meningitis and encephalitis for West Nile virus.
Vector technicians are setting additional traps, and locating and treating mosquito larval sources. If needed, ground spraying may occur in affected areas to reduce adult mosquitoes. These efforts are part of ongoing vector control efforts and the public is encouraged to assist by reporting and removing sources of standing water is their yards.
To reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes, the following is recommended:
• Drain standing water around property and keep water in swimming pools, ponds and troughs circulating or treated with "Mosquito Dunks."
• Apply insect repellent containing DEET or another approved substance (e.g. picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535) on exposed skin when outdoors among mosquitoes.
• Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. While outside among mosquitoes, dress in long sleeves and long pants.
• Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens, kept in good condition.
• Report dead birds and tree squirrels to the State West Nile Virus Hotline at 877-WNV-BIRD (877-968-2473) or online at westnile.ca.gov. Wear gloves and place dead birds or squirrels in a double plastic bag if disposing of them yourself.
Mosquito problems and neglected swimming pools should be reported to the El Dorado County Environmental Management Department at 530-621-5300 in Placerville or 530-573-3450 in South Lake Tahoe. Additional West Nile virus information is available online at westnile.ca.gov or edcgov.us/emd.

Mitchell S. Jackson on his Autobiographical Novel "The Residue Years"
Air date:Thu, 01/16/2014 - 11:00am - 11:30am
Short Description:Mitchell S. Jackson speaks with host Jennifer Kemp about his novel "The Residue Years"
Host Jennifer Kemp speaks with Mitchell S. Jackson about his novel The Residue Years. In this autobiographical novel, Mitchell writes what it was to come of age in Portland in the '90s under the shadow of crack cocaine and its familiar mayhem.
The Residue Years switches between the perspectives of a young man, Champ, and his mother, Grace. Grace is just out of a drug treatment program, trying to stay clean and get her kids back. Champ is trying to do right by his mom and younger brothers, and dreams of reclaiming the only home he and his family have ever shared. But selling crack is the only sure way he knows to achieve his dream. In this world of few options and little opportunity, where love is your strength and your weakness, this family fights for family and against what tears one apart.
Mitchell S. Jackson is a Portland, Oregon native who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He received an M.A. in writing from Portland State University and an MFA in Creative Writing from New York University. He has been the recipient of fellowships from Urban Artist Initiative and The Center For Fiction. A former winner of the Hurston Wright Foundation's award for college writers, he teaches writing at New York University and is the literary editor of Dossier Journal. Jackson published the eBook collection Oversoul Stories and Essays in the summer of 2012.

A Richard Stacel, a 44 year old Massapequa man was arrested Thursday night for taking "unauthorized" pictures of an 8 year old girl in an ice cream parlor. I've heard at least a dozen different news reports on this story, including the broadcast of the Nassau County Police press conference, and I'm still waiting for someone to state what this guy did to justify an arrest. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the guy had ill intentions, and at least one news agency reported that he has a prior conviction. But the law is clear. As creepy as it is, it is perfectly legal to photograph anyone, including children, while they are out in public.
Newsday first described the photos he took as "unauthorized". They have now updated that description to "lewd" photos without giving any justification of what they thought qualified as lewd, much less what new piece of information they learned since the press conference to justify the update (if someone knows, please link to the source in the comments). Nothing in the police press conference indicated Richard Stacel was doing anything other than secretly taking pictures of an 8 year old girl from a distance with his cell phone. Nassau County Police described that Stacel was caught taking pictures "in a manner that was inappropriate". Not in a manner that was illegal.
Now, of course what Richard Stacel did was clearly morally wrong, to say the least. And if someone was taking secret photos of my children, I would absolutely confront them, and it would not be pretty. I would probably wind up getting arrested myself. But that wouldn't change the fact that there is no law against what this guy did. Unless he was essentially violating someone's privacy (for example, by secretly taking pictures up someone's skirt, or hiding a camera in the bathroom), he had a legal, and in fact, a constitutional right to do what he did. Now he will be rewarded for his actions by filing a 1983 claim against Nassau County once the charges against him are dismissed, and this guy will be back on the street with a new very expensive camera and a telephoto lens courtesy of Nassau County taxpayers.
Most people would say good. I'm glad he got arrested. In fact, he deserves much worse. But what happens when we start arresting people for morally bankrupt behavior? Where should the line be drawn? What will the consequences be? Leave a comment below.

WALLA WALLA - Amy Hasson scored twice while MacKenzie Hughes and Hallie Swan added one apiece as Whitman ended its soccer season on a high note with a 4-1 Northwest Conference victory over Willamette Saturday afternoon in Salem, Ore.
Following a scoreless first half, Hasson broke the ice in the second minute of the second half. She found the net from 16 yards out after running down a pass from Marisol Fonzeca.
Nine minutes later, Hasson made it 2-0 when she knocked in the rebound after Misha Evertz bounced a shot off the keeper and the post.
Willamette closed the gap midway through the second half when Stephanie Skelly beat the goal keeper to a through ball, scoring from about 16 yards.
Whitman struck back in a hurry, scoring less than five minutes later when passes from Marisa Poorboy and Kate Potter set the table for Hughes, who hit paydirt from nine yards out.
With less than seven minutes left to play, Poorboy slipped a pass into the box for Swan, who sidestepped a defender on the left side and scored to the far post.
"This was a great win and great send-off for our seven seniors," Whitman coach Heather Cato said. "Although our record doesn't represent it, we played well all season and the way we finished today shows just how good this team really is."
Whitman finished its season with records of 6-8-2 in conference and 8-10-2 on the season.
While neither team scored in today's opening half, it wasn't because the opportunities were lacking.
Whitman put four of its five shots on frame in the first half, but Willamette keeper Nicole Price made four saves to keep the game scoreless. Meanwhile, two of four Bearcat shots banged off one of the posts.
Whitman had the clear run of play in the second half, outshooting their hosts 12-5 over the final 45 minutes.
Hasson's only two shots of the day resulted in her two goals. She capped a splendid senior season (and four-year career) with 15 goals and six assists in 19 games.
Hasson's senior campaign is the second-most prolific single-season scoring effort at Whitman in the past two decades.
Skelly, who scored Willamette's only goal in today's game, finished with 16 goals and five assists in 20 games.
In addition to Hasson, Fonzeca, Potter and Chock, goalkeeper Lauren Brougham, Libby Watkins and Claire Westcott all finished their careers at Whitman.

Geospatial Science 380
Spatial Analysis Techniques
Catalog Entry
Spatial Analysis Techniques
Four hours lecture/laboratory. (4)
Prerequisites: GEOS 250 and STAT 200
The course, which will consist of both lecture and GIS lab applications, is devoted to description and application of methods for analyzing spatial distributions and to evaluation and assessment of geographic research problems in the context of GIS technology.
Detailed Description of Course
The following topics will be discussed: 1) Geographic information analysis and spatial data; 2) Special qualities of spatial data (Why classic procedures of statistics do not always fit spatial data? Proximity polygons, variograms, and the use of matrices to summarize spatial relations); 3) Maps as outcomes of spatial processes (describing patterns reflected by maps and their underlying distributions) ; 4) Point pattern analysis (e.g.: settlement systems) in theory and practice; 5) Lines and networks (e.g.: transportation routes); 6) Spatial autocorrelation; 7)Describing and analyzing fields (e.g.: phenomena reflected by isolines, like isotherms, and spatial interpolation and measuring gradients); 8)Trend surface analysis (reformulating regression in matrix terms that fit the needs of spatial analysis); 9) Polygon overlay as the most popular method of map combination; 10)Use of classic (aspatial) multivariate statistics (e.g.: cluster analysis, principal components analysis, and factor analysis) to analyze spatial data; and 11) New approaches to spatial analysis (description of the most recent techniques in the GIS context).
Detailed Description of Conduct of Course
On average each of the above-mentioned topics or units will take one week (three MWF or two T&TR classes) to discuss. However, some topics will take less (e.g.: # 1, 3, and 11) and some more (e.g.: # 4, 8, and 10) than one week. The introduction to each unit will always be given in a lecture format using GIS recent packages for visualization of spatial concepts and for rationalizing the use of specific spatial analysis techniques. Following an introductory lecture (occasionally two lectures) and a corresponding reading assignment, students will be asked to either analyze sample data individually or as part of a group project. For group projects, three techniques will be selected: trend surface analysis, autocorrelation, and either cluster or principal component analysis. Results of individual data analyses will be regularly presented by students during the entire semester, whereas group projects results will be presented during one or two last classes of the semester.
Goals and Objectives of the Course
Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to understand and apply multiple techniques of spatial analysis such as point pattern analysis, trend surface analysis, and coefficients of autocorrelations. The student will also be able to understand and apply such major multivariate statistical techniques as cluster and factor analysis to spatial data.
Assessment Measures
Assessment measures may include group projects, student reports, attendance, and exams.
Other Course Information
The most recent ARC GIS software from ESRI, for which the department already has a site license, will be used during lectures. Software for group projects can be acquired free from online sources.
Review and Approval
February, 2010

Here's a few snippets from Arsenal Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Fox,
The clubs brand is "defined by more than winning".
He says:
Arsenal Football Club is not only about winning. We have a large and engaged fan-base around the world who wants to feel as if they belong to the club, and want to feel proud to belong to the club. That's my primary business.
Obviously nothing instills pride in our fan-base more than winning but there's many things we do that make our fans feel proud. So developing the kinds of young talent, finding those players in the marketplace make our fans feel proud.
Coming to a stadium that the club built really at a time – 10 years ago when the board decided to build that stadium, everything was going our way, it was Manchester United and Arsenal, but we made a very bold decision and we built that stadium on time and on budget, that makes our fans very proud.
When they see that we can attract – even though we haven't won a trophy in seven years – one of the top global brands in the world for the type of money and financial commitment they're making, that makes our fans feel proud.
So our brand is defined by more than winning.
On losing big name players like Robin, Cesc, Nasri and maybe Theo in a few weeks as it matters not as there are always other youngsters to take their place:
We look at it whether it's Serge Gnabry, who is a 17-year-old player in our reserves squad, whether it's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whether it's Theo Walcott, we look at these young players and have faith in our manager to develop them as the players for the future,.
Speaking about the new Emirates deal:
Football can be a fairly mercenary commercial environment. Football clubs go into the market and they really do business with whoever wants to pay them the most money. By the time this current shirt deal expires with Emirates, they would have been on our shirt for 13 years. That says a lot about how we run the football club and what's important to us as a football club.
So it's not just about finding the best commercial opportunity.
Well there you go!
What about the fans I wonder?
Those who paid vast amounts of money to travel to Greece last night? Those who travel to each and every away fixture regardless of the weather conditions and money it costs? Those who pay out vast amounts of money each season to keep their seat at our home ground?
Do the club think that they all care whose name is on the front of our shirt, or plastered all around the stadium?
Funny enough I doubt it's top of any fans priority list.
But watching quality players play good football and winning, does!!
We are it seems, supporting a club which view a top four place as being a success and we all know why. It's nothing to do with being part of the 'elite Champions League' every season, it's about the money it brings with it.
Last night we could have secured top spot in our group but the players who could have secured that for us are already on their last legs. Instead Wenger was forced, or chose to take a group of players who let that chance go.
They weren't outplayed, they just weren't good enough to carry out the task ahead of them and now we will no doubt be drawn against a side like Barcelona or Brussia Dortmund.
If this club, and by that I mean those who run it, had an ounce of ambition in their veins, we would be trying to win that competition, not just taking part because of the money.
If they are not going to assemble a squad that can really challenge in all four competitions, then why bother aiming to get in it each year.
I don't think so…….

By JEFFREY B. ROTH
For The Evening Sun
Old Gettysburg Village at 777 Baltimore St. has been a part of the town's tourist district for about 50 years - home to an eclectic group of shops, specializing in everything from Civil War souvenirs, period clothes, Civil War photography and food.
Almost half of those shops are to be demolished to allow room for the expansion of a hotel.
The village and hotel are owned by Gettysburg Tour Center, said Ken Rohrbaugh, vice president. He said four shops will be demolished and 21 rooms will be added to the Travelodge in a project to begin in October, pending borough council approval.
The shops expected to remain are Lola's of Gettysburg, the Horse Soldier, Jim Garrahy's Fudge Kitchen, Highland Rose Civil War Sutlery and the Moccasin Shop. Rohrbaugh said the Christmas Shoppe, T-Shirt Shop, General Store and Pretzel Shop will close. The Moccasin Shop is being relocated from one building to another, he added.
"We've been working with the shop owners for the past two years," Rohrbaugh said. "We have been keeping them posted of developments. Everyone has been cooperating very well."
Tony Strickland, owner of Strickland Enterprises, which operates the T-Shirt Shop, said his shop was moved in October. He said he had heard something about the Tour Center's plans, but it won't affect his business.
The Horse Soldier, which has been at the Old Village since 1980, is one of the businesses that will stay. The company sells authentic Civil War memorabilia.
"So much of our business is on the Internet now, and with our regular customers, we won't be affected by the plans," said Sam Small, one of the owners. "More rooms mean more people starting their day from here."

Dallas police say a man who was sought in connection with the burning death of a 4-month-old puppy has surrendered to authorities.
Darius Ewing turned himself in at the same time a candlelight vigil was being held for the Labrador terrier mix named Justice. Ewing had been wanted on a felony animal cruelty charge.
Authorities say several people set a dog on fire April 4 at an apartment complex in the Pleasant Grove district of southeast Dallas.
The group ran away when police arrived. A witness told police someone poured lighter fluid on the puppy before setting it on fire.
The puppy suffered burns to 70 percent of its body. Later named Justice, he died April 13. A $25,000 reward had been offered for an arrest of anyone involved.

LAS CRUCES >> Brynn Charity wants to make movies.
And through participation in Sierra Middle School's Film and Broadcast magnet program, maybe she can.
"They help students to continue to a career in media, teach students what it's like to work at a newspaper, do broadcasting, make movies, write a script, things like that," said Charity, an eighth grader at the school.
Las Cruces Public Schools have magnet programs -- in science or media -- at four local middle schools. The programs, according to LCPS, concentrate on specific areas of study and students are chosen for each magnet by lottery from a pool of applicants.
Students learn how to work through radio, websites, photos, short videos public service announcements (like one they've produced about teen pregnancy, and one for the City of Las Cruces), as well as compete in the Desert Light Film Festival in Alamogordo,White Sands Film Festival in Las Cruces, and statewide 505 Film Festival, said Michelle Valdez, magnet coordinator.
"You name it, they've done it," she said.
According to LCPS, courses in the program also address the development of print journalism, require students to maintain the school's website, produce a quarterly student newspaper and parent newsletters, the school yearbook, conduct investigative reporting, make documentaries, music videos, talk shows, commercials, study digital photography, photo manipulation software, and animation.
So far, Charity said her favorite facets of the program were improvisation, working on broadcasting and news, helping with segments for the morning announcements broadcast throughout the school, and setting up interviews with, what she described as "adults in the real world."
"The interviews are not just within the school. We film them, transcribe everything, edit it and show it on morning announcements," she said.
For her part, Charity interviewed her dad Oliver Charity's Las Cruces band, The Liars.
Sierra Middle School was among seven Las Cruces schools to win in LCPS' first ever "Healthy Eating Active Living Film Festival," held May 6 in the LCPS Performing Arts Center at Oñate High School, according to the district.
The school took home Best Middle School Video for their film, put together by sixth grade students, called "A Presidential Meal," about Hillrise Elementary School student Emma Kenney, who was the New Mexico winner in the 2012 national Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. Kenney joined First Lady Michelle Obama for a Kid's State Dinner at the White House over the summer.
Throughout the program, students take field trips to local newspaper officers and radio and television studios, as well as attend media-based classes in Tucson, Ariz. and Los Angeles, Calif., said Valdez.
While in California recently, 35 media magnet students from Sierra attended the Student Television Network national student film and broadcast conference and competition, according to LCPS.
They competed in several contests, including commercial, anchoring, public service announcement, spot feature, music video and movie trailer.
Now, students are preparing for another trip, one that includes the entire eight grade class and will take them to New York and Washington D.C. in April to expand their experience and education.
"I'm really excited. It's the trip of a lifetime," Charity said.
As with all great cross-country trips, this one, too, will be expensive, which is why it pays to have a musically talented dad.
Oliver Charity, also of BOFUS and Captain Jookie! fame, will be the star of Charity Karaoke One Year Anniversary at 10 p.m. Jan. 13 at Hurricane Alley, 1490 Missouri Ave.
"I'm extremely excited," he said. "When I was in the eighth grade, I went on a similar trip and it really opened my eyes as a child to what the rest of the world is like. I was excited to get a broader view of the world in general."
During the event, and with a suggested donation of $5, audience members can karaoke, make Charity sing any song they request, or join him for a duet of their favorite song.
"The event is going to be for the media magnet program," Charity said. "They need a lot of money for different projects and field trips, different equipment. We want to contribute in any way we can."
