- UTEP football: Reserve RBs step up for Miners
As much of a gauntlet as the UTEP football team faced with a 2012 non-conference schedule unprecedented in its toughness, there was one underlying theme the Miners clung to.
While many saw Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Wisconsin as losses, the players saw them as a chance. Win one and every perception about UTEP could change, every expectation outside the locker room would rise.
Those first two games with the Sooners and Rebels showed that wasn't an unreasonable dream. Those first two games also went in the loss column.
That leaves Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium, where the Badgers have won 25 consecutive non-conference games, 18 consecutive overall (the second longest active home-win streak in the country), and will try to extend that this morning against a UTEP team that is 0-16 on the road against power-conference teams in the history of the BCS.
"This is our last opportunity of a lifetime, to go away and beat a big BCS school," coach Mike Price said. "How many times has that been done here? How many times do you get a third chance in life? Second chances, yeah. Third chances? Not many times.
"We've had two chances and they slipped through our hands. It's time to quit talking and get it done."
Cornerback Drew Thomas knows the stakes.
"It would erase five years of bad stigma if we went up there on the road and won," he said. "It's a great opportunity for us. This will be a real test of character, we have to be disciplined, going up against guys who are bigger."
On one level, there's nothing surprising about those quotes. UTEP wasn't supposed to win its first two games and it didn't. The Miners were supposed to be underdogs against Wisconsin and they are.
This hill, though, doesn't seem as insurmountable as it did a month ago when two-time defending Big 10 champion Wisconsin was No. 12 and UTEP opened up as a 30-point underdog against Oklahoma.
Since then the Miners' stock has risen in a 1-2 start that showed they could hang around against bigger teams, and the Badgers have fallen with some struggles to replace quarterback Russell Wilson, now starting for the Seattle Seahawks, and some key pieces on the offensive line.
A real opportunity is in front of UTEP to pull the upset Utah State of the WAC narrowly missed a week ago in Camp Randall. That all starts with doing something the Badgers first three opponents have had some success with, slowing All-American tailback Montee Ball, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist last year. If he and the maligned line in front of him are looking for respect, they've already got it from UTEP.
When they see Wisconsin, they don't see a struggling group, they see the team that played in every Rose Bowl this decade.
"This is old-school football," linebacker Aubrey Alexius said. "They run the ball a lot of the time and we have to be ready."
"This is some old-school, backyard football right there," safety DeShawn Grayson said. "They want to run the ball 40, 50 times. They go up against you to prove they are bigger and better."
Running is about all Wisconsin has done since its opener. The Badgers switched quarterbacks, going from Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien to freshman Joel Stave at halftime last week, and even though Stave only attempted six passes in the second half against Utah State, he appears to be the starter against UTEP.
He will face a defense that has shown a propensity to get beat deep as it loads the box to stop the run.
"Don't give up any long plays against the play-action pass, stop the run, stop the big play, wrap up their All-American," Price said, ticking off the keys to dealing with Wisconsin's offense.
Badger coach Bret Bielema imagines he will see the same defensive strategy from UTEP that worked for their first three opponents.
"I think they're making us play left-handed, no doubt," he said. "They'll do whatever they have to do to stop the run. And we have to, A, be able to throw the football and B, be able to still execute.
"There are times when the numbers are against us. And I realize that. But that's when we have to be able to throw the football down the field and be able to take chances and being able to convert some play-action passes, but on the same account get the ball on the perimeter a little bit."
The focus has been on Wisconsin's offense because its defense has been as solid as it was supposed to be. In terms of style, that defense is just as blue collar as the offense wants to be.
"It's the same Wisconsin defense," Miner tight end Kevin Perry said. "They are good at what they do. They don't throw in any trickery, any disguises, they just execute. We have to be more sound in what we're doing because we know what they are doing."
Said center Eloy Atkinson: "Power football, big ole boys, Big 10 guys. They are big, just like they always are, and really good. This will be fun.
"They are not like Ole Miss. Ole Miss was a finesse-type team, Wisconsin is a power team. There's more pride on that, see who can move who. This is what offensive linemen live for."
What UTEP players live for, the reason they came to El Paso, is the chance to show a national power that they should have recruited them. This is their stage.
"I'm looking forward to that stadium, that environment, their fans," Perry said. "I grew up watching Wisconsin. It will be fun if we can go in and change that environment, bring a little negativity."

Obligated parties swooped in to purchase D6 renewable fuel 2014 Renewable Identification Numbers on Monday, which, in turn, pushed up the value of D4 biomass-based diesel RINs.
"All it takes is one aggressive buyer in a thin market to push it up," asserted a broker this morning.
RINs are used to comply with annual Renewable Fuel Standard blending mandates with D6 RINs primarily satisfied with ethanol while biodiesel is used for D4 RINs.
"A few obligated parties" were buying D6 RINs Monday, sources said, which traded at 49.7 cents, 50.5 cents, and 51.0 cents. Prices are 0.25 cents firmer early ...

London, May 21: Socialite Paris Hilton was spotted "flirting" with pop sensation Justin Bieber when they partied together at the ongoing 67th Cannes International Film Festival.
The socialite and the "Confident" singer are both currently in the South of France for the annual film festival and got close when she reportedly sat on the younger star's lap at Gotha nightclub, reports contactmusic.com.
An onlooker told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Paris had a private table above the DJ setup at the nightclub and was clearly loving being out and being the centre of attention. She was trying to dance sexily and looked really up for a party."
Hilton is currently dating model River Viiperi.

|No apologies for yet another 2001 from the south of France. This is a magic combination and I urge you to buy as much as you can while it is still available, for in broad brushstrokes, 2002 was too wet and 2003 too dry in southern France. There will of course be many exceptions to these sweeping statements but is it not a joy to come across an easy shortcut, 2001 and the south of France, to reliable quality?
This wine comes from that useful zone that straddles the southern Rhône and the far eastern Languedoc where both Grenache and Syrah, the two varieties which make up this impressive wine, thrive. It's made on a 72 hectare/178 acre domaine that is called Les Vignes de l'Arque and can claim seven generations of care just north of Uzès, the small market near the extraordinary Roman aquaduct that is the Pont du Gard that is eulogised by Elizabeth David in An Omelette and a Glass of Wine.
What struck me about this wine when I tasted it was how vibrant and bursting with energy it seems. Only later did I learn that it is made from organically cultivated vineyards. There is great depth of colour and that glossy, savoury character of ripe Syrah together with the fruity ballast and marked tannins of dry-farmed Grenache. I reckon this wine will continue to improve - not bad for its price - and would drink it, with strong-flavoured food, over the next three years.
In the UK the wine is offered at £7.70 a bottle by a new specialist importer Leon Stolarski Fine Wines at www.lsfinewines.co.uk.
The US importer is Global Vineyard. See www.globalvineyard.com fro your local distributor (not that there is any guarantee they will have this particular wine, I'm afraid).
I have been given the following addresses of distributors in Germany, which I have done my best to decode but are open to alternative interpretation:
Link Hans
Jainek Erika
And if you can't get your hands on this particlar wine, look out for other 2001 reds from smaller southern French domaines.

Klein (TX) defensive end John Youboty has had, by all accounts, a pretty successful summer of recruiting. The 6-foot-4 Youboty has not only seen several new schools come into the picture, but has also picked up his first two offers. Youboty said he has been trying to take things in stride, but in the next few weeks, he plans to add more thought to his recruiting with his final camp of the summer and hopes to make his first unofficial visit. Although he has picked up a recent offer from Marshall, Youboty said the excitement of Missouri's offer over a month ago has not worn off yet. He added that the offer was not the first time he had looked at the Tigers. His relationship with Coach Jones has helped bring attention to Missouri's defense in Youboty's eyes. The Tigers defense would be a change for him, but as Youboty joked, it would be a more than welcome one. Youboty did say that he hasn't limited his recruiting to just Missouri, but as he kept looking at different schools, things kept coming back to the Tigers. He added that he did see two schools at least intriguing him in the last few weeks. Youboty said he doesn't have an idea of when he may decide on his school, but said that it would be one something that he knew exactly when he knew. With a decision not coming any time soon, and new schools in the picture, Youboty said everything right now has been coming back to Missouri. He added that as he gets closer to an unofficial visit, his excitement seems to grow. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Construction crews see less injuries thanks to stretching
Posted By Wayne Grayson On January 22, 2013 @ 9:27 am In Construction News | No Comments
Stretches and balancing exercises are the farthest thing from the minds of most guys when they show up to the jobsite. But for a crew in Washington state, they've become part of their morning routine.
About 2 1/2 years ago, the Sellen Construction Company began encouraging its sub-contractors to stretch at the beginning of each shift, reports The (Tacoma) News Tribune. [2] And so, each morning at 7 a.m. the crews began doing just that.
They were reluctant at first but in the time since then have grown fond of the stretching exercises, saying they've led to less injuries on the jobsite.
"I still have aches and pains," Mike Wisham, a third-generation construction worker and former Marine, told the News Tribune. "That's part of the job. Tylenol is still part of the toolbox, like it's always been. But they're minor aches and pains now, and they're gone the next day."
"More and more, owners are savvy with safety," Sellen safety director John Hogan told the paper. "If you cut down on injuries, you do more business."
One of Sellen Construction's project safety managers Frank Mandell, told the News Tribune that the company brought in an expert that put together the right blend of exercises for the crews to perform each morning that would get them warmed up for work. Of course, the crews have given exercise names like "airplane" and "inverted airplane" their own spin. "Beer grab" and "ape drag" are examples.
Hogan said Sellen's non-traumatic injuries "have been steadily decreasing" thanks to the exercises.

RENO, Nev.—The Aces scored five times over the seventh and eighth innings Thursday night to force extra innings, but Round Rock pushed across a run in the 10th to escape with a 9-8 victory over Reno at Aces Ballpark.
The Express jumped-ahead early with two runs in the first and took a 6-3 lead into the seventh. But the Aces would fire back, ultimately tying the score in the eighth on a two-out RBI double by Konrad Schmidt.
After both teams went quietly in the ninth, Round Rock broke up the deadlock in the 10th and held on in the home half for the victory, handing the Aces their sixth-straight loss.
Jonathan Albaladejo (4-3) took the loss in relief for the Aces, surrendering the eventual game-winner in the 10th. Starter Zach Kroenke worked five innings, allowing five runs on nine hits with five strikeouts.
The win went to Express reliever Joe Ortiz (1-1), who worked 2.2 scoreless frames. Johan Yan worked a shutout 10th for his first save.
At the dish for Reno, Schmidt and Adam Eaton registered three hits apiece. Mike Jacobs homered and drove in two, while Taylor Harbin doubled twice.
The series comes to a close on Friday night at Aces Ballpark. RHP Trevor Bauer (4-1, 2.85 ERA) takes the ball for the Aces, while the Express will counter with RHP Greg Reynolds (10-7, 4.90 ERA). First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. PT.

Are you there Venus? It's me, Earth
Twenty years ago today, NASA dropped by our neighbor Venus to say hello and snap a few pictures. The Magellan probe entered orbit, took a terrestrial map of Venus, and then did something very rude: it crashed into the planet. Not very neighborly.
Still, we gathered plenty of data from that crash (and it's debatable whether the wreckage of the Magellan even made it through the thick atmosphere), data that was sent back to earth, processed by the folks at NASA, and then distributed to the whole world on a newfangled piece of equipment called the Internet.
It was 1994. AOL was tops, and the sound of dial-up was as common as a telephone ring (an actual telephone ring, not a ringtone). NASA has since preserved its Magellan website as a snapshot in time, and it's a hoot. You can view high-resolution images that are smaller than a camera phone snapshot these days (though it'd be tough to get a camera phone to Venus).
For more on NASA, and resources at the National Archives relating to space exploration, be sure to have a look at the Space Exploration section of our website.… [ Read all ]

Leslie King, 38th President of the United States
Gerald Ford's ascendancy to the office of the President of the United States marked several firsts. For one, President Ford was the first (and so far only) Eagle scout to reach the nation's highest office. Then there is the name change: Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch King, Jr., making him the first President who had changed his last name (there's been one other since, any guesses?).
Finally, Gerald Ford was the first (and so far only) President who was never actually elected to the office of the Presidency or Vice Presidency. Here's the story.
Richard Nixon's Vice President was originally Spiro Agnew, who resigned the office due to pending criminal charges.
In 1973, Nixon invoked the 25th amendment to nominate the House minority whip, Gerald Ford, to become his Vice President. Congress confirmed Ford, and the Representative from the state of Michigan became Nixon's new Vice President, marking another 'first' (the first use of the 25th amendment to appoint a Vice President).
On August 9, 1974–less than a year later–Richard Nixon resigned from the office of Presidency … [ Read all ]

Facial Hair Friday: The Brooklyn Bridge
It's a nineteenth-century twist on six degrees of separations–except Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren isn't connected to Kevin Bacon. Along with his mustache and soul patch, he's two degrees of separation from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Warren was one of 12 children. His sister Emily came to visit him at his headquarter when he was commanding the Fifth Army Corps. Washington Roebling was one of Warren's staff. He and Emily met, fell in love, and were married a year later.
Washington Roebling was the son of John Roebling, the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge. He and his new wife Emily were in Germany when he received the news that his father had died of tetanus. The couple returned to New York where Roebling took over the project as chief engineer.
Roebling may have survived the Battle of Gettysburg (where from a hot air balloon he saw the advance of Lee's army) but the Brooklyn Bridge nearly killed him.
Roebling developed decompression sickness–"the bends"–from working in the watertight environment caissons for the bridge piers, where the atmosphere was compressed.
With her husband confined to bed, Emily began to manage the project. The Rensselaer website notes that she went beyond simple management: "She carried out all written communication and face-to-face interviews with contractors with a thorough grasp of the engineering." On … [ Read all ]

Thursday's Photo Caption Contest
The original caption to last week's photo seemed a bit tongue in cheek itself. "FEAF BOMBER COMMAND, JAPAN—As the words informing the world of the truce being signed in Korea reached the ears of military personnel in Korea and Japan, emotions were expressed in a variety of ways, ca. 07/1953″ Yes, this service man really was throwing up his arms and calling it quits, because the armistice ending hostilities in Korea had just been signed.
Fortunately, Rebecca had a different take with her caption, one that appealed to our guest judge and yours truly, since Pick Up Sticks was one of my favorite games (I know you're all interested in my childhood). Congrats, Rebecca, not only for winning this week's photo caption contest and giving our judge Michael Kurtz a laugh, but for being the first person in history to ever win a back-to-back caption contest here at Pieces of History. You've won 30% off at the eStore, and our undying devotion once again. The question is, can you make it a hat trick?
That will be up to Maureen MacDonald to decide. She's our guest judge this week, recently returned from representing the National Archives at the International Archival Culture Exhibition in South Korea. So, show our world traveler that laughter transcends borders by posting your best … [ Read all ]

According to Peter Hrones MD of Windcraft Australia, the Hanse 445 'stole the show at Sanctuary Cove this year', while the 355 also created a huge amount of interest and the Moody 41 Classic was deemed great value 'dream yacht' for just $399,000.
Stable, comfortable and spacious, the Hanse 445 prompted show visitors to deem it "flawless".
Here Peter speaks with MarineBusiness-World.com about the brands Windcraft represents and their features and differences, consumer response at the 2011 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, market trends and a preview of the Hanse 495 and Dehler 41.
Windcraft Australia has been Dealer of the Year for Hanse since 2005. Based in Sydney, Windcraft recently opened offices in Melbourne and WA, and is planning to open a Brisbane office this year. At the Sydney International Boat Show in July, Windcraft will have its biggest display ever, with 12 boats on show and the Bear Cottage Hanse 355 which will be raffled off on the Sunday of the event.

What do you make of all this scuttlebutt about the Lions entertaining the idea of trading up in the draft to take Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins in the first round?
One of the biggest complaints you get from Lions players is that they hate to have the history of this franchise hung around their necks. And theyre right of course.
Its not Matthew Staffords fault that the 2008 Lions went 0-16. Its not Calvin Johnsons fault that the team has won one playoff game in 57 years. And it most certainly isnt Jim Caldwells fault that any of this has happened. He hasnt even had his first mini-camp yet.
But if we excuse the current Lions the history of this team, can we at least ask the following favor? Would you mind learning from the history of the team?
The notion of the Lions trading up to land Clemsons Sammy Watkins is one of the more intriguing story lines of the countdown to the draft. In the Lions defense, they are saying nothing about trading up or down in May. And theyve worked out virtually every draftable player leaving most observers confounded by exactly what theyre going to do when the draft rolls around. Perhaps they have no intention of targeting Watkins or any wide receiver for that matter. Perhaps hes far and away the No. 1 player on their draft board and they would move mountains to get the opportunity to grab him. We dont know. We might never know. And given how much we normally criticize the Lions for what they actually do, it hardly seems fair to criticize them for what they might or might not do. So I wont.
But I will say this I would not move up to grab Watkins, no matter how good he looks.
Sorry, but Ive seen this movie before back in a magical decade known as the Matt Millen era. We all know what he did. We all know who he drafted. And we all know how that panned out. Watkins appears to have more talent than any of the receivers Millen picked. And he probably has more than all three combined (which still isnt saying very much.) Perhaps hell turn into a great NFL player. But thats not what this draft is about for the Lions. The more important question is will he turn into a great Lion. And at this point in the franchises history, the only why he can earn than moniker is if the Lions win.
Johnson was drafted in 2007. Stafford and Brandon Pettigrew came along in 2009. Since that time, here are just some of the players the Lions have added through the draft or through free agency and trades to help Stafford and the offense Titus Young, Jahvid Best, Mikel Leshoure, Ryan Broyles, Nate Burleson and Tony Scheffler. The Lions big splash last offseason was running back Reggie Bush. Their big splash this offseason was wide receiver Golden Tate. How much is enough?
The pro-Watkins camp will tell you that his skill will make the Lions offense unstoppable and that Stafford needs that added weapon to make his job easier. This is a big year for Stafford and much of the Lions fan base is decidedly skeptical of whether or not his abilities match his contract. Im all for giving Stafford every chance to succeed. But at some point, hes got to take that $15.8-million cap hit and make other players around him better. Not many quarterbacks already possess offensive weapons like Johnson, Bush, Tate, Pettigrew and Joique Bell. And I can pretty much guarantee you that if the Patriots, Packers or Saints had a core of weapons like that, they wouldnt even think of chasing a player like Watkins in the draft. Theyd look at their roster and look at the draft board and say, I think were good on offense. Lets look to shore up that defense a little bit shall we?
There are players to be had in this draft. And with the Lions currently slotted 10th in the first round, there will be players there who will help immediately. And perhaps one of those players will be like Eric Ebron from North Carolina or wide receiver Mike Evans from Texas A&M. Both of those are offensive players as well which goes against my theory that the Lions should look defense. But at least they wouldnt be sacrificing picks, either this draft or next, that could be used to add depth to the roster overall.
Martin Mayhew has long held the philosophy of drafting the best player available. And Watkins might fit that bill. By all accounts he does. But Mayhew had his best draft yet last spring when he seemed to make more picks for need than he did for best player available. When Caldwell was hired, he was very clear that his mission in Detroit was to win right away. There was no talk of patience or rebuilding. If thats the case, then the Lions need to fill holes on defense long before making a move on Watkins and investing more into the offense, which already includes some of the most explosive players in the division.
Watkins can play. Hell be a heck of a pro. And if by some miracle, he were sitting there at 10, Id grab him. But the Lions have specific needs and wide receiver isnt one of them. So the thought of trading up to grab one is folly at best and dangerous at worst.

(From today's Boston Globe: "As record oil prices turn attention to the need for renewable fuels, momentum is building in Congress to buck Senator Edward M. Kennedy's bid to block the proposed Cape Cod wind energy project, potentially reviving efforts to construct the sprawling windmill farm in Nantucket Sound.... The maneuver to stop the wind farm 'is clearly a backroom deal, and they're going to get called publicly on it,' said John Passacantando, executive director of Greenpeace USA. 'The Democrats are going to kill the first big offshore wind farm in the United States because of their relationship with Ted Kennedy.'")
Posted on April 25, 2006:
Gas prices have skyrocketed and the 36th annual Earth Day just passed. So it's hardly surprising that many Democrats have taken the opportunity to bash the president's environmental and energy policies. Senator Minority Leader Harry Reid has demanded a "bipartisan national energy summit to solve the problem of America's dangerous dependence on foreign oil...." And Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida delivered his party's radio address on Saturday. He urged a higher "mileage standard for all passenger vehicles," which is interesting because Democratic Sen. Carl Levin has often led the charge against stiffer mileage standards. Nelson further warned Americans, "We must confront some powerful interests, including the oil lobby" if we our to cut our "dependence on foreign oil."
Like Sen. Nelson, Greenpeace is also confronting "some powerful interests." According to the National Journal, the group has taken on the Senate's premier liberal for his opposition to a proposed wind farm that "would provide 75 percent of the area's energy needs with clean and safe wind power."
Greenpeace takes on a surprising target this week: Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
The 30-second spot features a cartoon Kennedy pounding wind turbines as they sprout from the water. A voice meant to be Kennedy's -- but lacking the senator's trademark New England drawl -- complains that "I might see [the wind farm] from my mansion on the cape!"
Kennedy recently backed an amendment to a Coast Guard reauthorization bill that would make the first offshore wind energy project vulnerable to state veto.
Of course, I don't blame Sen. Kennedy (or Sen. Kerry for that matter). I wouldn't want to sit on the porch of my beachfront mansion staring into a sea of turbine generators either.

|Cotransport of water by the Na+-K+-2Cl(-) cotransporter NKCC1 in mammalian epithelial cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20819947 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Water transport by the Na+-K+-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1) was studied in confluent cultures of pigmented epithelial (PE) cells from the ciliary body of the fetal human eye. Interdependence among water, Na+ and Cl(-) fluxes mediated by NKCC1 was inferred from changes in cell water volume, monitored by intracellular self-quenching of the fluorescent dye calcein. Isosmotic removal of external Cl(-) or Na+ caused a rapid efflux of water from the cells, which was inhibited by bumetanide (10 μm). When returned to the control solution there was a rapid water influx that required the simultaneous presence of external Na+ and Cl(-). The water influx could proceed uphill, against a transmembrane osmotic gradient, suggesting that energy contained in the ion fluxes can be transferred to the water flux. The influx of water induced by changes in external [Cl(-)] saturated in a sigmoidal fashion with a Km of 60 mm, while that induced by changes in external [Na+] followed first order kinetics with a Km of about 40 mm. These parameters are consistent with ion transport mediated by NKCC1. Our findings support a previous investigation, in which we showed water transport by NKCC1 to be a result of a balance between ionic and osmotic gradients. The coupling between salt and water transport in NKCC1 represents a novel aspect of cellular water homeostasis where cells can change their volume independently of the direction of an osmotic gradient across the membrane. This has relevance for both epithelial and symmetrical cells.

Sunday at SLA
The Special Libraries Association (SLA) is holding its annual conference in Philadelphia. Although the exhibit hall opened only yesterday afternoon, some of the membership came in earlier for board meetings and continuing education sessions.
For SLA staff, the beginning of the conference for most of the attendees feels like mid-conference, since they've been here for days assuring that everything is ready to go. And I have to say (so I will say) that they've done a terrific job! My registration experience was the quickest, most seamless I've ever enjoyed.
The exhibition hall yesterday afternoon was crowded and attendees were, by and large, upbeat. I spent an enlightening hour at the LexisNexis booth (#411) walking through their company dossier product, which will be the topic of my next ONLINE column. I now realize, however, that I need to go back and learn about their newer product offerings. A new (to SLA) exhibitor is Material Connexion (booth #841) which has the most interesting samples of actual advanced materials and a novel definition of library. Ask them about the sample made from shredded counterfeit money.
Swag alert: Cool buttons are at the Leadership Directory booth (#1521). Yesterday I was wearing Library Nerd, may go with Caffeinated Librarian today.
I also had a very interesting meeting with EBSCO, whose representative pointed out to me that the counts between full text journals in the Wilson and EBSCO databases when they merge to form super databases include new journals not currently in either company's databases and that customers will have a choice as to whether their libraries will subscribe to the super databases or not.
I also spent some time learning about products from Arabia Inform, which I now realize is not in the Info-Expo guide, so I'm not sure of the booth number, but it's over toward the 200 aisle. Their monitoring of the political and business situation in the Middle East should be of great value to many of the SLA attendees.
I love having Sunday afternoon in the exhibit hall, undisturbed by competing information sessions. Today I'll be splitting my time between the exhibits and sessions.

Japan triumph - but go home
Japan ran out easy 3-1 winners over England but there was disappointment for them on the final whistle when they learned that it wasn't enough to carry them into the quarter-finals as Mexico had battled back to earn a point against Nigeria. Both Japan and England, each of them continental champions at U-19 level in 2009, now exit the tournament.
Both teams knew that only victory would suffice in Bielefeld. England were first to get forward and Jordan Nobbs tried an ambitious shot from distance in the first minute. However Japan were soon demonstrating more skill and control in their attacking moves and Lucy Bronze and co. were soon hving their work cut out to keep the likes of Mana Iwabuchi at bay.
When Iwabuchi played in Yuria Obara her cross was only a fraction ahead of the on-rushing Emi Nakajima. England captain Michelle Hinnigan went for goal direct from a free-kick from 25 metres out. Erina Yamane palmed it up in the air and then watched with relief as the ball bounced on the top of the bar before falling behind for a corner.
A wonderful opening then ensued for the talented Iwabuchi when Megumi Takase's clever pass left her with a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Unusually for her, she finished poorly, stabbing her effort straight at Rebecca Spencer.
Japan kept pressing and when Nakajima struck a clean volley it spun just over the angle of post and bar. They were getting closer and in the 20th minute they seized the lead.
Yuria Obara battled hard and cleverly to give herself room to weigh up her cross which was hit it hard and low and evaded everyone at the near post. Following up behind was Nakajimi and she finished confidently. With Nigeria beating Mexico this scoreline would be enough to take Japan through.
It almost became 2-0 soon after with Takase sending a difficult header too high. England gave everying to keep their tournament dream alive but before the second half they tested Yamane only with long shots.
After half-time the pressure became more intense and Japan struggled to get the ball out of their own half. England substitute Danielle Carter found the ball at her feet with a great opportunity but skied it. Then when another free-kick caused confusion the ball spilled out to Bronze but her effort soared into the seats behind the goal.
England never threatened seriously again while in the 74th minute Japan made the game safe. A free-kick came in from the right and Natsuki Kishikawa twisted to turn in a good header. Two minutes later Nozomi Fujita struck a shot against the bar and then in the 78th minute, following another free-kick, Kishikawa was there again to turn it home.
England scored a consolation penalty through Toni Duggan after Carter as fouled and heartbreak came for Japan with the news that Mexico had equalised and that was enough for them to go through. England's disappointment was on another level as they finished bottom of Group C with just a single point.

Should I Always Take Notes During Class?
For some people, taking notes during class helps them to concentrate on the lecture and discussion. Others, however, find that not taking notes in class allows them to concentrate fully on the lecture or class discussion.
In either case, it can be helpful to sit down shortly after each class to jot down the session's most important points. Review your notes to make sure you actually can read them while the content is still fresh in your mind. Regularly developing a set of notes that combines the material covered in class with material from your assigned readings may shorten your review time before an exam.
"Sometimes, I write notes. I do stars. I do outline format. I highlight, and then, sometimes, if it's really messy, I come back home and I retype it, and that also helps me out," one of our students said. "That's just like reviewing what I wrote down, while I'm re-writing and while I'm making things clear."Next Strategy ->

A military C-17 practiced takeoffs and landings yesterday at Harrisburg International Airport. After its last practice departure, the flight continued on visual flight rules. This means the flight was not receiving air traffic control service.
The FAA referred questions regarding where the aircraft is based and where it was heading to the military.
Update: YDR readers flocked to Facebook Friday night -- and again this morning -- to talk about what they saw, describing how low the plane was and how loud it was.
Reporters are still working to track down officials to talk about why the plane was in the area and why it was so low.

York County reacts to low-flying
Previously reported: Officials at Dover and McGuire Air Force Bases are checking their records to see if it was their low-flying plane spotted around York County Friday afternoon.
Word of the plane started spreading through social media around 6:30 p.m. in West York, and West Manchester and Springettsbury townships. An official at Dover Air Force base looked at a photo of the aircraft and said he thought it was a C-17 Air Force plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it had no reports of a plane in distress. And Fort Indiantown Gap said it's not its plane either.
An official with Harrisburg International Airport said they would have noticed a plane like that, and it was not practicing maneuvers there.
Daily Record/Sunday News readers flocked to Facebook Friday evening for reports on the aircraft. They speculated it was a military plane, and many said it's a common occurrence.
Others said the plane's noise and low altitude scared them at home or on their afternoon commutes home.

While Congress remains paralyzed and seemingly incapable of improving the lives of average Americans, give President Obama credit for using his executive power to try to do what he can. He ordered an increase in minimum wage paid by federal contractors and established a new type of retirement plan for young workers.
Now he has directed the Labor Department to devise new rules to make more workers eligible for overtime pay. The hope is this will curtail rampant abuses by some companies that designate low-wage employees as salaried "management" to avoid paying overtime when they work more ...

To be a saint means to be rooted in two worlds. What is most decisive is belonging to the other world, to be a person from heaven. To see the process of our interior growth, we have to see our life from the aspect of its goal: sanctity. There are laws of progression and laws of regression in our spiritual life. The question is whether we are under the influence of the laws of progression or regression.
Laws of progression. Father Joseph Kentenich, founder of the Schoenstatt movement, names two laws of progression: unhappy with oneself and courage to begin each day anew.
1. Thrive to perfection until the end. If we truly want to become persons open to heaven, then we will be unhappy with ourselves forever. It is not about anxious or paralyzing unhappiness, rather it is about unhappiness which is an impulse and a stimulus to continue striving. It means that we have a high ideal before our eyes. It means that we have not been able to reach it yet. The distance between the ideal and the reality continues being great. Let us recall a phrase from Father Kentenich: "The one I am sadly greets the one I should be." A permanent restlessness remains. From a psychological viewpoint, it means that there is a deep longing within us. If we are men and women of desire, in the same measure, we will be men and women of fulfillment.
2. Born again daily. If we cultivate the desire within us, it manifests itself in the second law of progression: The courage to be anew each day. It is not easy to get up with renewed enthusiasm after each fall. Neither is it easy to overlook personal defeats and deceptions. It requires leaving behind the past and looking toward the future. It demands getting one's bearings anew on the ideals which mark my way toward perfection.
Father Kentenich says that beginning to aspire and striving each day anew is already sanctity. Saint Francis of Assisi said on his deathbed: "It is time for us to begin anew because in reality we have not yet begun."
Perhaps each one would have to ask oneself: Is the desire for the high ideal of sanctity still alive in my heart? In spite of the failures and disappointments, does that desire renew itself and even grow in my life? Do I feel I have the enthusiasm and the sufficient strength to begin anew the battle to begin each day?
Laws of regression. Among the laws of regression in the spiritual life, we can especially name one which we should take very seriously. It is the state or spirit of boredom.
Boredom. What is understood by boredom? It is a state of indifference or being used to sin. It is not about committing this or that sin, rather it is a form of habitually "swallowing" sin without fighting it or worrying about it. Boredom is then a state of immobility or a moral-religious illness.
What are the causes for this state of boredom? According to experience, the main cause is spiritual-religious malnourishment. What does Father Kentenich understand by it? For him, spiritual malnourishment is the lack of cultivation of the religious life, the lack of cultivation of religious attitudes and practices. In concrete terms, it is about the neglect, contempt or failure to keep our sacramental life, our prayer life, our life of Consecration to the Virgin Mary. These become evident because of the insignificant reasons why we keep ourselves from fulfilling our call to sainthood or we fulfill it only half way. We then seek to justify ourselves. All of this in spite of our solid understanding that we are to rake the road to sanctity.
Here is a tip to be more Christlike: Put together a Home Shrine or Schoenstatt Corner, have the picture of the Virgin Mary in our home, a Bible easily accessible for all in the household, and make a point to spend a few minutes daily praying in there as a family.
Questions for Meditation
1. Which law am I under?
2. How am I doing with my sacramental life?
3. Am I faithful in attending Sunday Mass, could I attend daily Mass?

Stars Speaking Foreign Languages
Mila Kunis defended Justin Timberlake in Russian this week.
As George Bernard Shaw famously noted, England and the United States are two countries separated by a common language. Just to complicate matters even further, on the French television show La Boîte à Questions, singer Nicki Minaj was asked to speak English with a very British accent. And, blimey, it's odd.

West Manheim Township has once again approved having its Halloween Trick or Treat activities on an evening that is not Halloween - despite hearing disagreement from residents who showed up at a meeting this week.
"I just don't understand that Trick or Treat is not on Halloween. I have never understood it," said Shaffer Circle resident Sylvia Shoemaker. "This seems to be unique to this area of Pennsylvania and has never made any sense to me."
Shoemaker said that having Trick or Treat on Oct. 31 would make even more sense this year as that date falls on a Sunday.
"Parents wouldn't have to come off work early to take their kids Trick or Treating," said Shoemaker. "Why can't we change it back? Why do we have to go with something just because that is what has always been done?"
Several other residents also joined Shoemaker in asking that the township consider changing Trick or Treat back to Halloween night.
However, the supervisors stoutly defended the practice of having Trick or Treating on a night other then Halloween.
"The reason they started it on a different night then Halloween is because the kids were so destructive every year," said Supervisor Franklin Williams. "There are many terrible stories about the things that were done."
Having Trick or Treating on a school night also helps get the kids off the street earlier, said Williams, thus limiting Halloween-type vandalism.
Additionally, said chairman Supervisor Harold Hartlaub, many years ago, all of the local municipalities decided to choose just one night for Trick or Treating so that parents wouldn't carpool their kids to other areas on different nights.
"We all do it on the same night and that is the way it is going to stay," said Hartlaub. "It works like this and we see no reason to change it."
Trick or Treating in West Manheim and adjacent municipalities will be on Tuesday, Oct. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m.
"That's the same time as everybody else, too," Williams said.
Residents who wish to have "Trick or Treaters" come to their homes are encouraged to have their porch lights on.

text: Speaking of film prices, yesterday I went into Freestyle to pick up more Fuji Acros in the 120 five roll pack. I was not prepared for the price increase; I thought it had already taken effect previously. Prices jumped up for 135 as well. So now I find myself once again trying to convince myself to stay with film even though the prices are at a point where it just doesn't make sense for me. I'm just a working class guy living paycheck to paycheck. As prices have risen over the past few years I had to make adjustments; I no longer shoot Delta 3200, I gave up on Adox/Efke because the spotty QC didn't justify their prices even though I loved the look these films produce. I tried to simply shoot less, but that didn't work out. I'm shooting more now then in years previously; I'm shooting about 65-75 rolls a month combined 120 and 135. I even gave Freestyles Arista.Edu line a try and although I didn't like the results I got in 135, the 120 size fed through my RZ67 blew me away! Amazing sharpness and great tonality. I bought 100 rolls and shot about 50 before I noticed some scratches on the face of a portrait. Further issues appeared in the way of splotchy highlights. So I gave up on Arista/ Foma. So I felt good that Fuji could always be counted on for stellar QC at a affordable price point. From what I've read, what they make in profit in their other products is what keeps their film division on life support. Now that their prices are no longer affordable for me, once I use up what I have in my freezer I'll have to look for alternatives. I want to stay with film for as long as I can, but I may have to switch to digital unless prices start coming down a bit or the QC from some of the smaller companies improves.

The Warriors won the second game with a score of 2-1. Nemechek had a hit while Lenth had a hit, a run and a RBI. Funk had a hit and a run and Schroeder had a RBI during the game.
June 15th found the team in Dubuque to participate in an eight-team tournament sponsored by Dubuque Hempstead. Central played three games finishing in fourth place. In game one, the Warriors faced Dyersville Beckman and won 3-1. Paige Funk pitched a great game and got the win. Ashley Nemechek was three-for-four with an RBI and scored a run, and Haley Schroeder had a hit and a run. Paige Funk had a hit and a RBI, while Hannah Kuehl scored a run.
"This was a new tournament for us and it was a great experience to compete against some much larger teams," Coach Becky Lower said. "The girls came into the weekend with good attitudes and some winning momentum."
The Warriors tangled with Dubuque Hempstead in game two and lost 11-1. Paige Funk, Lexie Funk and Kinsey Juergens shared the pitching responsibilities.
"We threw all three to try and change things up with a good hitting team," Coach Lower commented.
Ashley Nemechek was two-for-two and scored once and Lexie Funk had a hit and RBI. Laren Lenth and Haley Schroeder each added a hit.
"We had too many defensive errors against a great team," Coach Lower said.
The team then played Cedar Falls and lost 3-0. Paige Funk was the pitcher and took the loss. Ashley Nemechek, Laren Lenth and Ashley Funk all had a hit in the game
"Cedar Falls had a great pitcher with more speed than we had previously faced, and that contributed to the lack of hits," Coach Lower said. "We played solid defense, but didn't start hitting until too late in the game."
"We have another full week and a tournament this coming weekend in Decorah," Coach Lower added. "I am very proud of the girls and their commitment to softball this season. They truly have the potential to finish strong and the work ethic to take them to the end. Hopefully this week will bring more wins and build their confidence."

U.S. Unemployment Claims at Highest Level in 6 Weeks
A week after reaching a five-year low, Americans seeking unemployment benefits rose by 32,000. This is the highest level in six weeks. Although the job market has improved in the lat six months, unemployment applications continue to fluctuate each week. The Associated Press reports:
"The underlying story in jobless claims continues to be one of gradual improvement," said Julia Coronado, an economist at BNP Paribas. Coronado said the small rise in applications "highlight(s) the need to take volatile weekly readings with a grain of salt."

eBay Selling Tip from a Virtual Assistant – #2Sunday, September 8th, 2013
I have another eBay selling tip to share with you today.
I have tested this theory for over 8 years and have come
to the conclusion that it must be the "implied value"
that makes the following true …
You have several books, movies or whatever else it is
that you have an abundance of or a need to get rid of.
You do all of your "homework" –
#1. Research for terrific and informative descriptions for your items
#2. Find or upload the best quality photos possible
#3. Spend hours listing all of your wonderful products, making sure you are in the right categories
#4. Price them competitively with other sellers of the same items
but, to test for the best responses, you:
a. Price half at a low price and with the actual estimated postage fee it will cost you
to send the item
b. Price the rest at a higher price but offer FREE shipping …
Strangely enough, even when I have them all priced equally on the TOTAL end,
the ones with the enticement of FREE shipping outsell the same priced comparable
item with the lower cost and actual shipping fee.
For example, I sell mostly books and movies on eBay. The highest eBay will let you charge for postage on one movie is $3.00 and the highest you can charge for postage on one book
is $4.00 – I also offer combined shipping when I do not offer to ship the item(s) free.
75% or more of my sales are on the FREE shipping item, no matter how high the price
is for the item when I list it with the postage cost IN the price.
I am not sure why this is true, but I find that I will also look for lower shipping
or free when I find several of an item I am interested in.
I have heard it said several times that you get what you pay for, but I still attest
that the word FREE works as good as, if not better, to IMPLY a value whether it
really delivers a better value or not.
I would love to get some feedback from other eBay sellers or those who are planning on trying their hands at this method of getting rid of some clutter, making a bit of extra cash
or for whatever other reason you might have for thinking about this option.
Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing and proofreading assignments along with research, blog posts, article submissions and social media maintenance!

Early calls for commodities
CHICAGO, Illinois (Agriculture.com)--The pre-opening prices for the CME Group grain commodities for Thursday, March 3, 2011 are higher. Corn is seen opening 3-5 cents higher, soybeans 3-5 cents higher and wheat up 2-4 cents.
In overnight electronic trading, the May corn futures contract traded 4 1/2 cents higher at $7.26 per bushel. The May soybean futures contract traded 2 3/4 cents higher at $13.97 per bushel. The May wheat futures contract traded 5 3/4 cents higher at $8.17. For May soymeal futures, the contract traded $2.30 higher at $366.70, and May soyoil $0.14 lower at $58.66.
The outside markets are not supportive for Thursday's grain trade. The real factors driving the higher early calls are the higher overnight markets. Plus, fresh export sales favor corn and soybeans.
The USDA Weekly Export Sales released Thursday appear to be friendly for corn and soybeans. For corn, USDA estimates sales at 1.201 million metric tons, slightly above trade expectations of 800 to 1,100 metric tons (mt).
Soybean sales were estimated at 645,300 mt, above trade expectations of 250-450,000 mt. USDA reports wheat sales of 650,900 mt, below a trade expectation of 900-1.2 million mt. For soyoil, weekly sales came in at 16,000.

Terrell Owens is gone from yet another football team. This time, it's the Allen Wranglers. ESPNDallas.com reports the former NFL wide receiver was cut by his current Indoor Football League team on Tuesday. Along with his roster spot on the Wranglers, Owens also loses his ownership stake in the IFL franchise.
"It's disappointing and unfortunate, "but (he) could no longer be tolerated by the Wrangler organization," Wranglers majority owner Jon Frankel told the website.
According to ESPNDallas.com, there were many reasons behind Frankel's decision to dismiss Owens. The chief one was the fact Owens had refused to play in two key upcoming road games for the Wranglers. It didn't help that Owens also was a no-show for a charity event at a local children's hospital.
Frankel deemed Owens' actions as a violation of his contract, leading to its termination and the receiver's subsequent release.
The Texas-based club brought in the 37-year-old wideout in an attempt to draw some local fans familiar to Owens, who played for the nearby Dallas Cowboys from 2006-2008. Owens had to pick the Wranglers after he couldn't find a sixth NFL team in 2011 after spending 2009 in Buffalo and 2010 in Cincinnati.
Forget the IFL—T.O.'s behavior while earning six digits in contrast to his usual millions might have burned any last chance he had at extending his pro football career anywhere.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The recent, gasp-worthy kiss between "New Girl" stars Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson was the juicy plot twist that both fans and the show's cast have been waiting for.
At Monday's PaleyFest red carpet in Los Angeles, Deschanel said she's excited to explore the new storylines opened up by the budding relationship.
Johnson, who plays Deschanel's surly roommate on the Fox comedy, says audience reaction has been positive and immediate. He racked up roughly 20,000 new Twitter followers after the kiss aired Jan. 29.
Johnson hopes his characters' romance will emulate other iconic TV love stories, such as Sam and Diane of "Cheers."
In the meantime, he's looking to Ted Danson for inspiration.
"I watch it on a regular basis just to see what they did," said Johnson.

Koji Uehara to DL, for the Rangers the future is Grimm
Uehara will miss an unspecified amount of time due to a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle—the very spelling of which angers my computer greatly.
The Texas Rangers have promoted right-hander Justin Grimm from Double-A Frisco and have slated him to start this Saturday against the Houston Astros.
Rangers will purchase RHP Justin Grimm from Frisco to start Saturday. Koji Uehara will go on DL with strained right lat muscle.
— John Blake (@RangerBlake) June 14, 2012
Grimm was originally drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the thirteenth round of 2007, but declined in order to attend the University of Georgia. The Rangers selected him in the fifth round of the 2010 draft.
There was rampant speculation that left-hander Robbie Ross (6-0, 1.30 ERA) might be the man that Ron Washington would turn to for a spot start this Saturday. Washington has repeatedly stated that Ross will stay right where he is, which is the bullpen.
Now that Uehara—a right-hander that is especially effective against lefties—is on the DL, the Grimm promotion makes more sense.
Grimm is in the midst of a spectacular season with the Frisco Roughriders. He's 8-3, with a 1.87 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP and averages 7.8 K/9.
Over 38 games in the minor leagues, Grimm has never appeared in relief; thus it likely means that recently promoted Michael Kirkman, will work primarily out of the bullpen and can also be available for a spot-start if necessary.
