Wheeling casino manager to open Ohio property
WHEELING, W.Va. -- The general manager of Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack is leaving West Virginia to help open a new casino in Ohio.
Delaware North Companies announced Friday that Jim Simms will start his new job in April.
It didn't immediately name the property he'll open but called it a joint venture between Delaware North and Churchill Downs Inc.
Last fall, the Ohio Lottery Commission was reviewing applications from companies hoping to run slot machines at harness racing tracks.
One was for Lebanon Raceway from the Miami Valley Gaming and Racing -- a joint venture of Delaware North and Churchill Downs.
Simms joined Wheeling Island in 2006, and helped lead the company to record revenues and profits.
He oversaw the launching of table games and was named president and general manager in 2008.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture says farmers planted 96.4 million acres of corn this spring, up 5 percent from last year.
It's the largest number of planted acres since 97 million in 1937. The revised estimate, based on early June farm surveys, is up from May's estimate of nearly 92 million acres.
The USDA says farmers expect to make more profit from corn than other commodities.
Iowa corn acres fell to 14 million from 14.1 million. Nebraska rose to 9.9 million from 9.85 million.
Record corn acreage is expected in Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon and the Dakotas.
The USDA estimates 76.1 million acres are planted in soybeans. That's up 1 percent from 2011 and the third highest on record.

When you think about pampering your body, getting luxury facials and relaxing back massages likely comes to your mind. Rarely is your first thought to do something nice for your feet, but these unsung heroes of your body deserve some special care. All day long, your feet bear the weight of your body and are stifled and constricted by shoes, which can cause aches and paints in their tissue. Footwear also decreases the amount of oxygen that reaches the skin of your feet, resulting in dryness and cracked, itchy skin. The Kerstin Florian Foot Care collection was designed to give your feet the attention they need to look and feel their best.
The products in the Kerstin Florian Foot Care collection include both soaks and creams that soften damaged skin. The items in the Kerstin Florian Foot Care line are ideal to include as a part of a home pedicure or to treat yourself to after a long, tiring day spent on your feet. Used together or separately the products in the Kerstin Florian Foot Care range offer incredible results.
Treat your feet to a day at the spa without ever leaving your bathroom with the Kerstin Florian Foot Care collection. The soaks and lotions available in the range use natural ingredients to heal, nourish and moisturize the skin of the feet, which is susceptible to a number of common dermatological problems. Purchase the foot care products for yourself or combine them with a pedicure set to give as a gift for someone you love.
Beginning in the 12th century, German villagers began using an herbal bath called the kräuter bad to care for their bodies, and now you can care for your feet with a luxurious lotion inspired by this natural treatment with Kerstin Florian Krauter Fub Balm. Menthol in the formula helps soothe inflammation and eliminate pain while naturally discouraging the growth of the fungus that causes athlete's foot. In addition, rosemary destroys bacteria that lurks on the soles of your feet and between your toes to eliminate odors, while pine oil provides vital moisture and helps renew damaged skin.
The base ingredient for the Kerstin Florian Krauter Fub Salt is a form of thermal mineral salt that is sourced from a world famous well in Hungary. The salts contain more than a dozen healing minerals that restore the ionic balance in your body, while soothing tired feet. One of the most beneficial of these elements is iodine, which eliminates bacteria from the foot area to prevent infections and make your feet smell fresh and clean.

Item # SRM0481
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Grip Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM X0 Silver 2x10 Grip Shifters $0.00
Famous for their low weight, ability to shift multiple gears at once, and dependability, SRAM's twist shifters created a stir when first introduced, and were essential to the company's early success. Those positive traits and vibrant history continue with the introduction of the X0 Silver 2x10 Grip Shifters.
Early Grip Shift blindsided the mountain bike market in the early 90's because it offered a much simpler, faster, and lighter weight way of changing gears. Grip Shift got the job done with few moving parts vs. trigger shifters, which used as many as thirty individual components. Racers were quick to take advantage of the faster gear changes and lower weight. Soon Grip Shift was enjoying both downhill and cross country podiums under notable racers like Greg Herbold and Ned Overend.
Jump ahead to today, and the new X0 Silver 2x10 Grip Shifter Set has already proven itself on the race circuit with the 2011 XC World Championship under its belt. Developed for use in the BlackBox racing program, the first 10-Speed Grip Shifters were successfully campaigned under Jaroslav Kulhavy. What SRAM learned racing those prototypes has directly enhanced the production versions.
The X0 foregoes carbon in favor of aluminum to keep its price point lower than the higher-end XX Twisters. It still rolls on ball bearings -- a first for SRAM twist shifters. This provides longer life than bushings, and reduces the effort need to change gears. Speaking of action, these shifters use SRAM's 1:1 Actuation ratio. For every unit of cable pulled, the derailleur moves the same amount. Wide tolerances ensure consistency in every condition from dry and dusty, to sloppy mud, to frozen fat-bike adventures. 1:1 Actuation also eases setup, with simple adjustment from the shifters barrel adjuster. Another key upgrade is integrated lock on grips to prevent dreaded throttle grip, something that cursed small rubber grips of early Grip Shift. The integrated lock on grips hides the clamp to provide a seamless ergonomic transition from grip to shifter.
The X0 Silver 2x10 Grip Shifters are compatible with SRAM's 10-Speed mountain and road front and rear derailleur's, opening up possibilities for touring or commuting applications. The shifter set comes with a sealed Gore Ride-on low-friction cable system to provide long lasting performance. However, it's only compatible with SRAM's 2x10 front derailleurs.

Reviews & Community
Will the shifter pull ratio also work...
Will the shifter pull ratio also work easily with a Shimano SLX Shadow+ 10 speed rear derailleur?
Greetings - Will work, but not so well - you will get some gears spot on, but mid range and in low or high, will skip. Best just to get a cheaper SRAM rear derailleur, as they are pretty cheap. Hope this helps :)

After some playful teasing on Twitter and Instagram, Kip Moore has made his big announcement: his much anticipated sophomore album, titled Wild Ones, will be released on Aug. 21.
The album includes current single "I'm To Blame," a song Moore previously told Radio.com was "essential" to be part of his album. "It set the tone for what's coming."
Related: Kip Moore Is Teasing Something—Is It a New Album?
Wild Ones also includes a song called "Comeback Kid," which Moore has said is the most special to him on the whole album: "I can't wait for people to hear that track and hear space in music."
"It's just a very passionate, intense record. There's a lot of seriousness behind this record," he told Radio.com. "There's definitely some playfulness. It's changed a little bit, too. It was a lot more intense and it's changed a little bit."
Related: Songwriting 101: Top 10 Tips from Country Songwriters
Wild Ones is the followup to Kip Moore's 2012 release Up All Night. One of that album's songs, "Somethin' Bout a Truck," went to No. 1 on Billboard's Country Songs chart.

Tales of an eager garbage picker (condoms excepted)
(Page 3 of 3)
Municipal residential trash collection is now, of course, the norm across the country –– done with trucks, not pigs. It comes with problems of its own. Burn or bury the garbage? Recycle it or not?
These days, though, there is no excuse to simply throw trash on the street –– and yet people do, whether it's the cigarette butt carelessly flicked onto the sidewalk that eventually washes through storm drains into the wetlands, or construction debris dumped in the Meadowbrook Parkway woodlands.

The Belk Library and Information Commons was the first building on campus to incorporate many of the goals of the LEED (U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) program.
Some highlights of your green library:
*The carpet is made of partially recycled material and is itself completely recyclable
*Cork flooring is used on the 4th floor. Cork is a sustainable resource because cork can be harvested by stripping the bark from cork trees without damaging or killing the tree. Cork also absorbs sound and is less expensive than solid wood flooring.
*The steel structural frame is made of 75% recycled steel
*Recycling bins are located throughout the library

Admission: Free, open to the public
Students, faculty and community members are invited to read the graphic novel Persepolis: the library has placed copies of the book on 24-hour reserve. There will be a showing of the film Persepolis on Tuesday, April 30th at 6:00 pm at the library (Rm 114). Both the book and the film will be discussed afterwards.
Persepolis is a 2007 animated film based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel of the same name. The film received numerous awards including being a co-winner of the Jury Prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. It was also nominated for many awards including an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The story follows a young girl as she comes of age against the backdrop of the Iranian Revolution.
The film will be introduced by Dr. Renee Scherlen, who will also lead discussion on the film and book following the showing. Dr. Scherlen is a professor of Political Science at Appalachian State University; comparative politics, foreign policy, international politics, and gender are among her areas of specialization.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the ASU Humanities Council and the Muslim Students Association with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) program. This is the fourth in a series of programs that compose the 2013 Bridging Cultures, Muslim Journeys Program.
More on the film: Filmmakers Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi collaborated to co-write and co-direct this adaptation of Satrapi's bestselling autobiographical graphic novel detailing the trials faced by an outspoken Iranian girl who finds her unique attitude and outlook on life repeatedly challenged during the Islamic Revolution.
The Guardian described the film as "superbly elegant" and goes on to note: "Persepolis gives us the sheer pleasure of narrative, rarely found in modern cinema or indeed fiction: a gripping story of what it is like to grow from a lonely imaginative child into an adult, and to find this internal tumult matched by geo-political upheaval."

The first Information Literacy Skills Prize Awards were presented at the Celebration of Student Writing on April 17, 2013. Belk Library and Information Commons sponsored the contest, with help from the University Writing Center, the Composition Program, and Writing Across the Curriculum Program.
The prize recognizes an outstanding research paper written by a first-year Appalachian State University student for a class in UCO 1200 (First Year Seminar) or English 1000. Information literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, and use information effectively and it is an educational goal for every Appalachian State University graduate.
This award promotes students' active engagement in the processes of library research and encourages them to synthesize library research skills with the reading, writing and critical thinking skills developed in their first year at Appalachian.
The first place award, was a $300 gift certificate to the bookstore and it went to freshman Zachary Mennona for his paper entitled Motivation of Soldiers, Slaves, and Statesmen in the American Civil War. Zachary made abundant use of primary resources, and wrote in his reflection statement:
"Being a complete newcomer to the field of research, I am grateful to my English professor and the staff of the Belk Library for their assistance in teaching me the strategies involved in crafting a research paper….Skills like critical thinking, book analysis, information collecting, and interpretation of data developed out of necessity and allowed me to answer the rhetorical question when time finally came to writing the research down. The skills developed throughout this project will be of tremendous service to me for the remainder of life as a researcher and writer."
The second place award, a $200 gift certificate to the bookstore, went to freshman Stephanie Filotei for her paper Borderline Personality Disorder. Stephanie noted in her reflection "At first, I dreaded finding twenty sources because that seemed like too many. In the end, I learned that it only helped me to find an abundant amount of information that would help me recognize useful sources from the useless ones." Stephanie also made several trips to the University writing center and found they helped her improve the grammar and flow of her paper significantly.

A new exhibit titled, "Black Mountain College: Innovation in Art, Education, and Lifestyle," is now on display in the 4th Floor atrium of Belk Library and Information Commons. Black Mountain College was an experimental school, located just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, that only existed for 23 years, from 1933 to 1956. During that short time, it fostered many different artists including dancers, musicians, photographers, painters, and poets.
The exhibit has three display cases that follow the three major rectors, or elected leaders, of the college. The first explores the 1930s through John A. Rice, the founder of the college. The second looks at the 1940s and focuses on visual art through the leadership of Josef Albers. The final one examines the 1950s through Charles Olson, when writing became a central focus of the school.
Most of the artifacts on display come from the John A. Rice Papers and the recently added F. Whitney Jones Papers. Additional artifacts and images come from the Paul and Maryrose Carroll Beat Poetry Collection in Special Collections; the Western Regional Archives, State Archives of North Carolina; Joseph Bathanti; Elizabeth S. Rose; and University of Connecticut Libraries. Joseph Bathanti, North Carolina Poet Laureate, and Professor of Creative Writing advised on the creation of the exhibit. The exhibit was executed by public history graduate student Rebecca Dion.
In addition to the exhibit, two up-coming related lectures will be given in April. On Wednesday, April 3, Professor David Silver of the University of San Francisco will deliver a talk, "The Farm at Black Mountain College: A History in Five Acts with Lessons for Today," at 5:00 p.m. in Belk Library Room 114. On Thursday, April 11, writer Tom Patterson will give a talk, "Reconstituting Black Mountain: Reflections on the Black Mountain College Festival at St. Andrews College, 1974," at 7:30 p.m. in The Great Hall, Living Learning Center at Appalachian State University.

Friends of the University Library and the Goodnight Family Sustainable Development Program present:
Date: Wednesday, April 3, 2013
Time: 5:00pm
Location: Belk Library, room 114
This talk presents the history of the farm at North Carolina's Black Mountain College (1933-1956). Widely regarded as the most influential art school in the history of U.S. higher education, Black Mountain College's faculty-student roster reveals a "who's who" of late 20th century artists and thinkers. At the same time, the college was heavily experimental in developing rich and collaborative living-learning environments--especially with their work program, which had students, professors, and staff working side by side to help the campus thrive and, at times, survive. Much of this work took place on the campus farm. Tracing the farm's physical existence, its personnel, its buildings and structures, and its produce, crops, and livestock, grown and raised for both college consumption and much needed income, Silver reveals the farm's vital role to BMC's work program and the college's goal to be self-sustaining and points towards some valuable lessons for today's "green campuses."
David Silver is an associate professor of media studies, environmental studies, and urban agriculture at the University of San Francisco. He teaches classes on media history, social media, and green media. He is currently on sabbatical working on a history of the farm at Black Mountain College.
Please contact Lynn Patterson (email@example.com or 828-262-2087) with any questions about the program.
Date: Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Belk Library -- Room 114
Admission: Free, open to the public
Make Hummus Not War is a humorous film journey though the hummus bars and kitchens of Beirut, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and New York. Along the way the filmmaker encounters Palestinian and Israeli hummus cooks, chickpea farmers, political leaders, activists, Jewish settlers, and others for whom hummus is a near religious obsession.
The film will be introduced by Dr. Curt Ryan, who will also lead discussion on peace and cultural commonalities in the Middle East following the film. Dr. Ryan is associate professor of political science at Appalachian State, a scholar of Middle Eastern politics, and author of the books Inter-Arab Alliances: Regime Security and Jordanian Foreign Policy and Jordan in Transition: From Hussein to Abdullah.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the ASU Humanities Council with grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities- NEH Bridging Cultures, Muslim Journeys grant and the Bivens Fund for Library Excellence. This is the third in a series of programs that compose the 2013 Muslim Journeys Program.
More description of the film: Could a regional love of hummus be the recipe for peace in the Middle East? This was the question on director Trevor Graham's mind when he set out to film Make Hummus Not War, a documentary about the Middle Eastern conflict you don't see on the nightly news.
One of the oldest-known prepared foods in human history, hummus is claimed by multiple Middle Eastern nationalities. So when Trevor Graham, a self-described hummus tragic, learned of a 2008 Lebanese plan to sue Israel for acting as if it had proprietary rights over the dish, he was intrigued and hungry for more. With Israel, Lebanon and Palestine fighting once again - over who 'owns' the hummus heritage - he set off on a personal journey into a colorful culinary history.
"Hummus and chickpeas are a symbol of our common humanity. I want this movie to say 'We have more in common than divides us.'" Trevor Graham [filmmaker]

IBM deeply appreciates this show of support for open standards in the data center network, including the full breadth of software defined networking (SDN) approaches (both overlay networks and OpenFlow). IBM has demonstrated the industry's first 40G OpenFlow enabled switch, and continues to drive strong innovation in SDN and other aspects of the ODIN design approach. Keep watching this blog for more news on ODIN and InterOp 2012, or follow my Twitter feed.

Stronglite Standard Chair Package
This lightweight Standard Massage Chair is a great value for the on-the-go therapist weighing in at only 16 lbs! 2" multi-density foam. Agate Blue or Black.
Package Includes:
Chair Specifications:
The chair is light-weight and easy to carry. No wheels on it if you like that. A little tricky to open up, but I figured it out. I tried massaging an ex-Raider football player on it...He barely fit. This chair is only good for people with a height of 5' 7" or less. I wish I would have paid a little more and gotten one a little bigger and sturdier.

The one thing I've been trying to improve about myself recently is fixing how my eyes tend to glaze over and my ears tune out once people begin talking about statistics.
Just to give everybody some perspective to my abhorrence of statistics and big, intangible numbers, I scored a "1" on my Advanced Placement Statistics exam in high school. I won't pretend I know what a "1" equals when discussing grade point average or SAT scores, but I just know I did not receive any college credit for math after that bad boy.
Now at the ripe age of 23-years-old, I understand the use of statistics. Statistics identify trends. Statistics provide tangible numbers to describe complex thoughts and practices. Statistics are fun! (Riiiiiiiight...)
I'd like to think I'm getting better. To begin my reformation, I'm trying to follow this summer's movie theater box-office receipts to follow trends of the mainstream American movie-going public (Americans love robots, blowing up buildings and potty-mouthed bridal parties. Americans -- except for me -- hate Ryan Reynolds.)
I'm following both the NFL and NBA lockouts intently since they, at their respective cores, are about billionaire owners and millionaire athletes figuring out how to cut up the revenue they make.
After all the tired litigation and posturing by men who will make more money than I could ever really need, it all boils down to two things: football will return strong as ever. Basketball...well it just bums me out when I start to think about it.
I became equally as bummed out when I heard that Montgomery County finished up their budget for the 2011-2012 school year. With my newly acute statistic-privy mindset, I was alarmed to see that Forbes Magazine's 10th Richest County decided to reduce this year's athletic budget by ten percent.
Without nickel and diming everyone, the budget cut's highlights (if you could call them that) are to:
1) reduce the Junior Varsity season by two to three games and
2) only compensate coaches for one practice in the traditional summer "two-a-days" practices and workouts.
The cuts in coaching stipends and such aren't too troublesome. Montgomery County is trying its hardest not to affect the student-athletes directly, so they're chipping a little off the coaches to save the kids.
But in a county where I've been charged over $100 in parking citations (a downtown Bethesda parking structure stuck in 2003 using bootleg parking meters where everywhere else on the planet has parking vouchers where you pay when you leave rather than forcing a time limit on you) as well as speeding citations (getting caught by the 39 different speed cameras on River Road that knock you for speeding at the middle of the night), it's unacceptable to be reducing games from public school athletics.
I lived all over the country and nowhere else have I seen as finely manicured highways than in the 301 area code. I read that Montgomery County businesses made close to $150 million from hosting the U.S. Open this summer. Those qualities make the headlines. Cutting back $17.4 million from academics elicit small stories below the fold.
I'm all for capitalism, but there's no way for the county to dip into the other services it provides in order to prevent cutting back on academics, and in turn, athletics? I don't' care whether or not a school's athletics program is competitive or not, just as long as it has an athletics program.

Ford Can't Take a Joke, but It's Not the End of the World
Chevy's Super Bowl ad poking fun at Ford's pickups has turned into an all-out brawl in Detroit. Has Ford just lost its sense of humor, or is there more at stake here than meets the eye? Actually, there's a lot more -- and some of it's excellent news.

I'd like the distribution list address to be the REPLY TO address. Is this do-able?
For example list = email@example.com. I send an email to the list. Jeff is in the list and gets my email. He clicks reply (in outlook). His email TO address is me, not the list (email@example.com).

Watch Idina Menzel's Elsa Sing 'Let It Go' In Full Scene From Disney's Frozen
By Kelly West 2013-12-08 20:21:12 comments
SPOILER WARNING: If you havent seen Disneys Frozen, I dont recommend watching this clip, as its probably more enjoyable seen and heard for the first time in context. Article also contains spoilers.
There are some clips that are meant to tease and others that are better enjoyed after youve seen the film already. The latter applies to the above video, which shows us the full "Let It Go" song as sung by Idina Menzel, who voices the role of Elsa in Frozen. But if youve opted to ignore the spoiler warning and you watched the clip without having seen the movie, this scene takes place after Elsa runs away from the Arendelle, where she was just crowned the Queen, and soon after exposed her icy abilities to everyone. Unbeknownst to her, she left Arendelle suspended in an eternal winter. At this point in the movie, all she knows is that the cat is out of the bag and she no longer has to hide her ability. In "Let it Go," she finally embraces her powers, using her frosty gift to build herself a beautiful ice castle in the mountains where she can live in isolation. The reality of her situation is actually sad, but its hard to feel all that bad for the character here, as shes finally able to lose the gloves, let her hair down and enjoy the inner chill shes been suppressing most of her life.
"Let it Go" is one of a few great songs in the film, and it certainly makes good use of Idina Menzels incredible vocal skills, which more than makes up for Enchanted's noticeable lack of Menzel on its soundtrack. So thanks for that, Disney!
Pop star Demi Lovato covered "Let it Go" for Frozens soundtrack:
"Let it Go" isnt the first musical scene Disney released in full. You can watch Olaf sing about summer and enjoy the musical stylings of Menzels fellow Broadway vet Josh Gad in the "In Summer" clip below.
It was a good weekend for Frozen, as Disney Animations latest film managed to edge out The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at the box office, adding another $31 million (plus) to its already sizable haul. Of course, Disney Animation will be competing with Walt Disney Pictures this coming weekend when Saving Mr. Banks arrives in theaters. It also has The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug to contend with, along with American Hustle and Tyler Perrys A Madea Christmas.

|HHS JV boys win 2, but fall to Wray
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Losing its first game since the first week of the season, Holyoke's JV boys' basketball team was 2-1 last week.
Against Benkelman, Neb. on Tuesday, Holyoke took the win, 45-34. The Wray Eagles barely eeked out a victory against the Dragons on Friday, with a score of 43-44. Then on Saturday, HHS defeated Burlington, 61-35.
Holyoke JV 45, Benkelman 34
Holyoke and Dundy County played a tight game the first quarter, with a tied score of 12. However, the Dragons charged ahead in the second, allowing the Tigers only three points to give HHS an eight-point lead at the half.
Keeping up the momentum in the second half, the Dragons continued to outscore Dundy County, 16-6. In the final quarter, the Tigers made a bit of a comeback, narrowing the lead to 11 points, but still giving Holyoke the win.
Preston King set the pace for the Dragons with 12 points, followed closely by Brian DeBoer with 11. Also scoring for Holyoke were Reid Baumgartner and Sheng Xuezhi with seven apiece, Willie Greenman four, Cody Fricke three and Brent Vasa one.
Scoring By Quarters
Holyoke 12 11 16 6 --45
Benkelman 12 3 6 13 --34
Holyoke JV 43, Wray 44
After having a strong lead in the first half, the Dragons fell just short of victory when the Wray Eagles broke out in the second to take a one-point win.
Things looked good for HHS in the first eight minutes of play, with the team quickly putting up 17 points on the board. Greenman led the way that quarter with 10 points, including two baskets from behind the arc. Baumgartner also contributed a three while King had two two-point field goals.
The two foes scored evenly in the second period with 11 points, but Holyoke still had a nine-point advantage from the first going into halftime.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Eagles returned from the locker room for the third to zoom past the Dragons and add 16 points to their side of the scoreboard, while allowing Holyoke only two baskets. The Dragons now found themselves behind by three as they entered the final period.
Though they outscored the Eagles by one basket in the fourth, it was not enough to overtake Wray. Time ran out for HHS before they could regain the lead, and the team had to take the loss of one point.
King again scored the most points against Wray with 12, followed by DeBoer and Greenman with 10 each. Baumgartner added eight points and Vasa three.
Scoring By Quarters
Holyoke 17 11 4 11 --43
Wray 8 11 16 9 --44
Holyoke JV 61, Burlington 35
Looking for redemption after facing defeat the night before, the jayvee team came out ready to play in Burlington on Saturday.
In the first quarter, the teams were evenly matched in scoring with 11 points, but the Dragons took a seven-point advantage in the second after adding 19 points, including two threes.
HHS continued to dominate the second half of play, making an additional 31 points total, and allowing the Cougars only six for each the third and fourth quarters.
A slew of three-point field goals helped Holyoke seal the deal against Burlington, with eight total for the game. Of those, Greenman made five, three of which were shot in the third quarter. He was the top points-earner of the game with 16.
Coming in behind him on the scoring stats were King and DeBoer with 12 points apiece, Alex Quintana eight (including one three), Baumgartner with two threes for six points, Fricke four, Austin Killin two and Vasa one.
Scoring By Quarters
Holyoke 11 19 18 13 --61
Burlington 11 12 6 6 --35

He's so smiley in those pics!! YUM!!ReplyDelete
I'm really looking forward to tonight's match. Should be a good one, unlike that snoozefest with Tursunov :)
Also, I'm totally loving all the Nike tees that both Rafa and Roger have been sportin' lately. Fun color combos and just simple, classic design. Dig.
Yeah Johanne those pics were really good. This one caught my eye because we haven't seen this style in a while and it brought back memories.ReplyDelete
Tonight's match should be pretty intense and you know Rafa will want to finally put a win on Nalby. But Nalby is tough for anyone when he's on so it's the result is not so clear.
Can't wait!

Dear Rich, since we are talking about clothes here, Wawrinka seems to have switch from adidas to lacoste. Wonder when that happened?ReplyDelete
anon: I noticed the switch back in January at Kooyong -ReplyDelete
Pretty quiet switch.
- AnonymousMarch 18, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Explains it then. Thanks for the quick reply! Love DtL by the way. hahaReplyDelete
Given that both loses came in quick succession when Nalby was very on form (winning his sole 2 MS titles) and Rafa was very off form (late-2007 knee crapout period), I'm not sure that their H2H is really representative of what tonights game could potentially be. Not to mention Rafas dramatic improvement over the last year.ReplyDelete
On the other hand, Rafa's been serving like crap this tourney...
Aw, olden day Rafa! :DDDReplyDelete

Had a great year hunting elk. Archery season was a blast and got close to some great bulls. Finally took this little guy.
My son Ethyn and I went on a tough 2+ mile hike to get on some cows. If ethyn wouldnt have been so excited I wouldn't have let him drop the hammer on this cow. I didnt have it in me to say no..haha. Made the pack out a little less painful knowing that I made his day.
Recently I was told that I need to focus on gratitude and be positive. So in closing, I'm very grateful to have the god given ability to be healthy enough to enjoy my passions (hunting/fishing). I'm also grateful for the people who have been and are in my life.

NEW YORK (AP) — Some New York City pharmacies and clinics are reporting flu vaccine shortages prompted by reports of widespread outbreaks.
The city's Health Department said Monday the shortages are in individual locations, and don't reflect a larger supply problem.
The city is maintaining an online map to help residents find flu vaccines.
City Health and Hospitals Corp. facilities, including its clinics, have no shortages.
Every county in the state has significant incidence of the flu. It reflects the worst nationwide outbreak in four years. The federal Centers for Disease Control said 47 states are reporting widespread outbreaks, and the flu season is earlier and busier than in recent years.
CDC suggested that flu season will peak early. It usually lasts through March.

Atlanta Preview: Bodine
Posted by: lori on Sep 01, 2011
Tagged in: Untagged
Todd Bodine
No. 5 NTB/Service Central Toyota Tundra
Atlanta Motor Speedway – Atlanta 200
September 2, 2011
News and Notes
• This Week's Tundra… The No. 5 NTB/Service Central team and Germain Racing driver Todd Bodine will utilize GR-018 in Friday's 130-lap NCWTS race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Chassis GR-018 is the newest chassis in the Germain Racing stable and made its debut at Nashville Superspeedway in July, finishing sixth. Since then it's been raced at Pocono Raceway (12th) and, most recently, Michigan (11th). Mike Hillman Jr. will once again be atop the pit box calling the shots for the defending series champion as this marks the seventh race of a collaborative effort between Germain Racing and Randy Moss Motorsports to field the No. 5 Tundra.
• Raising Awareness… The No. 5 NTB/Service Central Tundra will feature a Teal Ribbon to recognize the kick off of National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, which is September. Additionally, the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra and No. 9 GEICO Tundra will also feature Teal Ribbons.
• Track Stats… Bodine leads all active truck series drivers in top-fives (6) and top-10s (7) at Atlanta Motor Speedway. In 9 NNS starts, Bodine has led three races, scored three top-5 and four top-10 finishes. In 18 NSCS starts, Bodine has led 89 laps in three races, scored two top-5 and four top-10 finishes.
• Closing the Gap… With his third-place finish last race at Bristol, Bodine maintained his 10th-place standing in the driver points and is now just 30 points out of the top five.
• Watch and Listen… The Atlanta 200 from Atlanta Motor Speedway will be broadcast live on SPEED, MRN Radio and Sirius-XM NASCAR Radio, channel 90, on Friday night. SPEED kicks off its pre-race coverage at 7:30 p.m. EDT, and MRN Radio will begin its live broadcast at 7:45 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 2. SPEED will also carry live a broadcast of qualifying on Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. EDT.
Todd Bodine on Atlanta Motor Speedway:
"Momentum is an important thing, but it's not everything. We have to go to Atlanta and do the best job we can. We feel like maybe we got the monkey off our back a little bit and we're going to Atlanta with high hopes for the NTB/Service Central Tundra. Our mile and a half program has always been strong – so coming off a good finish like we had at Bristol can't hurt anything."
"Atlanta, when the tires get hot the race track doesn't have a lot of grip. You slip and slide and that's my strong suit is racing there on the older tires. We plan to go there and get a good balance on the NTB/Service Central Tundra and run up front."

NFPA® Certificate Program FAQs
What is an NFPA certificate?An NFPA "certificate of educational achievement" recognizes that an individual has successfully met the requisites of an NFPA certificate program, including attainment of the training program's learning objectives. It is issued after an individual has successfully completed the required training program and has obtained a passing score on an examination. The examination is based solely on the educational content of the classroom training and will take the form of an open book examination.
What does my certificate of educational achievement mean? (Certificate Inference)Your certificate of educational achievement demonstrates that you have met the educational objectives of the NFPA training program you attended. It makes no claims as to your proficiency in conducting any specific task or job.
Why should I participate in an NFPA certificate program? (Certificate Purpose)NFPA certificate programs are based on established best practices in adult education. NFPA certificate programs go beyond NFPA's traditional classroom trainings by measuring your knowledge on the subject matter taught, and awarding certificates of educational achievement, which demonstrate that you have achieved the educational objectives of the training program you attended.
Who should get an NFPA certificate of educational achievement?Professionals who are looking to document that they understand the core concepts found within the training program in which they have participated.
What is the difference between a certificate of educational achievement and a professional certification?A "certificate of educational achievement" is awarded after the completion of an NFPA certificate program. It recognizes that an individual has successfully completed the requisites of a one-time educational course or training program. NFPA certificate programs are not what are generally known as professional certifications. Professional certifications are typically programs that certify professional or occupational competence and require certain prerequisites such as education, years of experience, successfully passing an examination, and ongoing eligibility requirements (such as retesting or participating in a minimum number of educational activities). While an NFPA certificate of educational achievement is a valuable recognition of educational achievement that can enhance your professional development, there is no professional or other credential associated with a certificate and certificate holders may not claim to be certified, licensed, accredited, or registered to engage in a specific occupation or profession.
How do I know NFPA certificate programs are of a high quality?NFPA training follows established best practices in adult education, and conforms to ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard for Continuing Education and Training.
What type of examination is used?NFPA certificate programs use an online, open book examination as an assessment tool. The exam consists of multiple choice questions based on the content found within the program.
What are the requirements for obtaining a certificate of educational achievement? (Certificate Requirements)Individuals must participate in 90% of the certificate program as required by ANSI/IACET 1-2007, and measured by attendance forms distributed during the program. Individuals must also receive a minimum passing grade on the examination at the conclusion of the training program. Individuals must also agree not to disclose the contents of the examination nor reproduce examination materials.
What if I need an accommodation to take the examination?Participants with sensory, visual, orthopedic, or other disabilities that would prevent them from taking the examination under standard conditions may request special accommodations and considerations. You must submit a written request, at the time you register, that explains the disability (i.e., the diagnosis), the type of accommodation you feel is appropriate, and attach supporting documentation of the diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional. For information on submitting a request for accommodation please call 508-895-8367. After receiving the request and appropriate documentation, NFPA will contact you to confirm the special accommodation arrangements.
What if I don't pass the examination?The certificate program is designed to effectively convey the core knowledge needed to pass the examination, and most individuals with a reasonable amount of study and review will pass the examination. Individuals who do not pass the examination may elect to retake the examination. Re-taking of the examination must be completed before NFPA discontinues the certificate program on the edition of the code or standard that the participant received training on.
Do I have to renew my certificate of educational achievement?The certificate of educational achievement acknowledges an individual's attainment of the intended learning objectives from a specific certificate program. The information presented in the training is based on current knowledge and practice and/or on a specific code edition. Therefore, NFPA recommends remaining current with the latest codes and standards by periodically participating in appropriate NFPA certificate programs as your field and as code and standards evolve and update.
What if I have a complaint regarding the outcome of my certificate program?NFPA endeavors to deal with any individual's complaint in a constructive and timely manner. Informal complaints, such as complaints made on evaluation forms, will be reviewed by the appropriate NFPA staff and any necessary action for improvement will be taken. Formal complaints may be submitted to the division manager of NFPA's professional development department in writing via email at email@example.com, or by mail at NFPA, Fulfillment Center, 11 Tracy Drive, Avon, MA 02322. Formal complaints will be reviewed and responded to within 30 days.
Does NFPA keep a record of the classroom trainings and certificate programs I've attended?Yes. NFPA maintains confidential and secured records of all participants' training as required by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. These records are kept for seven years. If you ever need to document your past training, you may log in to your "My Training Page" on the NFPA website and view the educational products you have purchased. To have an official transcript sent to you, contact NFPA professional development in writing via e-mail, or by mail at NFPA, Fulfillment Center, 11 Tracy Drive, Avon, MA 02322.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Six Maryland teens have been indicted as adults on murder charges for a fatal stabbing at a Metro station.
Seventeen-year-old Chavez Myers of District Heights was originally charged with first-degree murder and the other five charged as adults with robbery. The indictments announced Wednesday in Washington lodge felony murder charges against the five. Myers still faces a first-degree murder charge.
A total of nine suspects were arrested in the Nov. 17 stabbing death of 18-year-old Olijawon Griffin of Olney at the Woodley Park station. Two other teens face juvenile charges.
Police say Griffin was robbed of an iPhone and jacket while trying to buy marijuana and later confronted the alleged robbers at the Metro station.

New treatments and drugs are tested extensively before they come on the market using randomised controlled trials (RCTs). We talk to David Spiegelhalter (Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk), Sheila Bird (Professor at the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit), and Nigel Hawkes (journalist and director of Straight Statistics) about why RCTs are used and how they test if a new treatment works. You can also read an accompanying article.

Calling all algebraic artists!
Everyone has the chance to create mathematical beauty as part of a competition during the Cambridge Science Festival. As part of the Imaginary exhibition of beautiful mathematical images and artwork taken from algebraic geometry and differential geometry, visitors (both real and virtual) can create their own mathematical art.
By downloading the SURFER program, anyone can create images of algebraic surfaces by simple equations using the three spatial coordinates of x, y and z. For example, the equation x2 + y2 + z2 = 1 results in a sphere.
The competition requires creativity, intuition and mathematical skill in order to create equations yourself or to change given equations to produce beautiful images. The images are easily generated with the SURFER programme, and you can then upload your artwork to the competition gallery by 20 March. Everybody is invited to take part, including group entries from classes and families. The entries will be judged by a distinguished panel including Sir Christopher Frayling (Royal College of Art and Arts Council England) and Conrad Shawcross (sculptor and artist-in-residence at the Science Museum, London).
So good luck to all aspiring artists, and if you need some inspiration why not browse through the Plus articles on maths and art.

What does mathematics feel like?
If you have ever wondered what it feels like to do mathematics, take a look at the series of beautiful short films produced by the mathematics department at the University of Bristol. Chrystal Cherniwchan, Azita Ghassemi and Jon Keating interviewed over 60 mathematicians, asking them to describe the emotional aspects of maths research. The discussions range from the role of creativity and beauty in maths, to what it feels like to pursue the wrong research path, and the eureka moment of discovering mathematical truth. You can view them all on the Mathematical Ethnographies site.
You can also read more about beauty in mathematics, in Plus, as well as the mathematical lives of John Conway, Stephen Hawking and Gerardus 't Hooft and many others in our careers with maths library.

A central prediction of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity is that gravity makes clocks tick more slowly — time passes slower when you're close to a massive body like the Earth, compared to when you're further away from it where its gravitational pull is weaker. This prediction has already been confirmed in experiments using airplanes and rockets, but a new experiment in an atom interferometer measures the slowdown 10,000 times more accurately than before — and finds it to be exactly what Einstein predicted.

Maths in a minute — Achilles and the tortoise
Achilles and a tortoise are competing in a 100m sprint. Confident in his victory, Archilles lets the tortoise start 10m ahead of him. The race starts, Achilles zooms off and the tortoise starts bumbling along. When Achilles has reached the point A from where the tortoise started, it has crawled along by a small distance to point B. In a flash Achilles reaches B, but the tortoise is already at point C. When he reaches C, the tortoise is at D. When he's at D, the tortoise is at E. And so on. He's never going to catch up with the tortoise, so he has no chance of winning the race.
Something's wrong here, but what? Let's assume that Achilles is ten times faster than the tortoise and that both are moving at constant speed. In the times it takes Achilles to travel the first 10m to point A, the tortoise, being ten times slower, has only moved by 1m to point B. By the time Achilles has travelled 1m to point B, the tortoise has crawled along by 0.1m to point C. And so on. After n such steps the tortoise has travelled
And this is where the flaw of the argument lies. The tortoise will never cover the 90m it has to run using steps like these, no matter how many of them it takes. In fact, the distance covered in this way will never exceed 10/9=1.111... metres. This is because the geometric progression
converges to 10/9. Since the tortoise is travelling at constant speed, it covers this distance in a finite time, and it's precisely when it's done that that Achilles overtakes it.
This problem is known as one of Zeno's paradoxes, after the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, who used paradoxes like this one to argue that motion is just an illusion.

I am trying to set up a Zimbra 8.0.1 Appliance for our new server environment.
We have 100 mail users. I tried single node and multi node installation, but it always ends up with the logger not working.
I use the OVF on our Esxi 5.1.
We have set up an internal Active Directory- domain named mydomain.local. The e-mail adresses will end with mydomain.de. Which domain name shall i use on the initial setup, .local or .de? so far i used the .de domain, but perpahs this is the reason for my problems. today I tried using the .local domain for the installation, of course i have the A records and a MX record in my internal dns server for the .local domain.
I need a hint which is the way to go?

Country icon Dolly Parton is set to make her debut at Britain's Glastonbury festival, according to a U.K. report.
Festival boss Michael Eavis revealed earlier this year that he had signed up three headliners who had never played the event before, sparking rumours Prince and Madonna were set to grace the stage in June.
Now editors at Britain's The Sun report Parton will perform on the main Pyramid stage on the event's Sunday night slot.
A source says, "It is being kept free deliberately. She'll get a helicopter straight down on Sunday, or maybe even Saturday night after the show."
Glastonbury will run in Somerset, England from June 25-29.
