Recap: Thunder at Rockets
6:48 p.m. Day to day is the official word. RT @GrendelKnight @DarnellMayberry have the Thunder given any indication how long Perk will be sidelined?
6:53 p.m. Brooks on Thabeet tonight: "Obviously, we're not going to him to score 15, 20 points. He's going to have to defend, block shots, alter shots
6:53 p.m. and get in the way of their penetrating players. And he has the ability to do that."
6:56 p.m. Yes. He has recovered from a low back strain and will be in uniform. RT @jwyant8806 @DarnellMayberry is Lamb gonna be in uniform tonight?
6:56 p.m. Thunder begin the second half in Houston tonight. OKC has torched the Rockets in two wins this year (244 points). Tip in 10 minutes.
7:03 p.m. Guess this explains why Kevin McHale was over 15 minutes late meeting with the media before tonight's game.
7:08 p.m. Rockets going to have enough bodies to play this ballgame? Somebody tell @dmorey I'm available for a one-day contract if he needs me.
7:18 p.m. James Harden starts 3-for-3 from 3-point range. Rockets lead the Thunder 11-7.
7:22 p.m. Yeah, it's easier to treat and tend to a strained knee in the locker room. RT @nickkyger Perk not on bench. Mean anything? @DarnellMayberry
7:24 p.m. It's raining 3s in Houston. The Rockets are 6-for-8 from downtown with 4 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter.
7:24 p.m. Wait, there's another one. Make that 7-for-9 from downtown by Houston.
7:28 p.m. Rockets now 8-for-10 from 3-point range in the first quarter. This is unbelievable. OKC's opponent high for 3s made is 15.
7:33 p.m. OKC's rotations are about as non-existent as can be tonight.
7:43 p.m. Early Q2, Russell Westbrook has a dozen points. #Thunder trails #Rockets 38-31. Watch on @FSOklahoma TV Companion at thunder.nba.com
7:52 p.m. Westbrook now guarding James Harden.
7:58 p.m. Thunder storms back from a 12-point deficit and has now tied it at 46-all with 5:49 remaining in the second quarter.
7:59 p.m. After making eight of their first 10 3s, the Rockets have now missed their last seven.

8:23 p.m. Uh oh. Clutch, the Rockets mascot is shooting halfcourt shots over his head...And here comes Westbrook out of the halftime locker room.
8:25 p.m. Dang. Clutch made one before Westbrook came out. That would have been an interesting scene. Oh well.
8:36 p.m. Nice rhythmic post move by Ibaka. Impressive.
8:41 p.m. Kevin Durant now two rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double. It would be his second career triple double.
8:47 p.m. He is in Houston but is not sitting on the bench. RT @Zyg_26 @DarnellMayberry Is perkins in Houston or not!?
8:53 p.m. Chandler Parsons has to be helped off the court after rolling his right ankle. He stepped on Kevin Martin's foot in transition.
8:55 p.m. A team spokesman just told me Perkins is in the locker room getting treatment on his right knee. Same way he spent pregame.
8:57 p.m. James Harden just swished a halfcourt shot as the third quarter clock expired to pull the Rockets within 92-87. Crowd erupts.
8:59 p.m. Didn't think Harden would launch it. You know, got to protect the percentages. But he sized it up, shot it like a real jumper & splashed it.
9:00 p.m. Five #Thunder players in double figures including Thabo with 22. OKC leads #Rockets 92-89 headed to Q4. thunder.nba.com
9:00 p.m. Five #Thunder players in double figures including Thabo with 22. OKC leads #Rockets 92-87 headed to Q4. thunder.nba.com
9:08 p.m. Durant now just one rebound away from a triple double.
9:10 p.m. Durant's got a career high in assists (11), Sefolosha's got a career high for points (28) and 3-pointers made (six).
9:13 p.m. There's a discrepancy on that last defensive rebound by the Thunder. The stats are not showing it was Durant's. Would have been his 10th.
9:15 p.m. Stat crew changes the rebound to Durant. He officially has his second career triple-double: 15 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists.
9:16 p.m. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook is one rebound and two assists away from also registering a triple-double.
9:17 p.m. Scott Brooks just stormed onto the court lighting into his team after allowing that fast break. It's rare that you see Brooks that animated.
9:19 p.m. It looked like the bulk of the fire was aimed at Ibaka.
9:24 p.m. James Harden really wants this one. He's not only delivering, but he's also letting the Thunder know about it as he does.
9:28 p.m. It's shaping up to be another loss to a shorthanded team. Rockets only had 10 available players after today's trade & essentially played 7.
9:29 p.m. What a great, terrible shot by Westbrook.
9:31 p.m. If James Harden makes these two free throws he'll have a career high 46 points. #Irony
9:33 p.m. Harden sinks both and now has a career-high 46 points with eight rebounds and six assists against his former team.
9:34 p.m. Final score: Rockets 122, Thunder 119. OKC gives up 36 points in the first quarter and 35 in the fourth.

Headphones have been around since the 1920s and the basic design has not changed very much since then. What has changed is the way we use headphones, and the different uses are reflected in the slight difference in the modern headphone. Possibly one of the most significant variations is the introduction of the ear buds that were introduced alongside the iPod in 2001. At Musicians Friend we have separated our headphones into a number of convenient categories. Studio headphones, as the name implies are designed to be used in the recording studio and usually offer a less colored sound that offers the listener a more accurate representation of what is being recorded. They are often padded so that they can be worn for long periods of time. DJs have to concentrate on both the current track being played and the track being queued up, so DJ Headphones need to be loud so that the DJ can hear the song being queued up above the club noise. They also tend to have swivel ear cups for comfortable one-ear monitoring. Noise Canceling Headphones exclude external sounds so that the wearer can concentrate on what he or she is monitoring, without having to listen at hearing-damaging volumes. They are especially good for drummers who want to hear the rest of the band without having to crank the headphones so high that they distort. Consumer headphones are often designed to look good as well as sound great. The increasing popularity of the MP3 format meant that music fans could carry their entire library around in a palm-sized MP3 player and headphone manufacturers have modified their designs to reflect this. Ever since the rapper Dr. Dre founded Beats Electronics his "Beats by Dre" headphones have been particularly popular. As with everything we sell, all our headphones are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping applies to all orders except heavy items.
If you're looking to enhance your headphone sound even further, check out our headphone amplifiers page.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Federal law takes homes to new heights
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
Working together in the months following Hurricane Katrina, a group of southern representatives pushed through an administrative rule that allowed for the levees around New Orleans to be strengthened to such a point that raising the level of individual homes became unnecessary, and the Biggert-Waters requirements were waived. So far, however, no such waiver has been sought for the communities devastated by Sandy.

Flood Insurance is BS. Only rich folk can afford it. The widows and orphans get flooded and dont get a dime, while the rich folk get to replace their 80s kitchens and baths all brand new on the govts dime. I guess they get their funds from the widows SS check.
Fact people with flood insurance only pay 1/3 the cost
Fact NFIP tries its best to keep non FHA mortgage holders from getting flood insurance as it is of no benefit to them.
The more folks in flood zones who dont have flood insurance the better since the program takes a loss on each new customer.

Ray Allen won't be walking back through that door any time soon . . . in a Celtic's uniform.
The Big Three Era ended when Ray walked. And Ray Allen won't be walking back through that door any time soon . . . in a Celtics uniform. Obviously the Celtic's brass wanted Ray back: and they thought he would make a big difference for the 2012 season, perhaps the last best chance for KG, Paul, and the Celts to have a legit shot, albeit a long shot, at a title in the foreseeable future.
For some to claim that Ray would not have made a difference to this team is simply ludicrous. It doesn't just border on the absurd, it is absurd.
Some things are complex, such as the professional and personal dynamics that led to Ray leaving the Celtics, but some things are simple: what is simple in this case is that the Heat got measurably better by adding Ray Allen and the Celtics got immeasurably worse by losing Ray Allen. It doesn't even take a high basketball IQ to understand the how and the why of this simple fact.
There are those on this board who try to bully and browbeat anyone who speaks positively of Ray Allen, and I suspect that they are the same ones who were giving Ray short shrift since he arrived in Boston, calling for him to be traded each year since he arrived. There has never been a shortage of Ray haters on this forum. Now they think that by repeating lies often enough and loud enough they become true . . . no, no, no, they've tried that in politics and most people see right through that: A lie is a lie, is a lie. And a bully is a bully whether on the playground or in a forum. The Ray haters have turned into the bullies of the forum attacking anyone who won't buy into their groupthink and agree with them. Go $crew yourselves.
Commiecontrairian said it well: "[The] green will regret not giving ray his respect earlier and casually dangling him out there and making him an afterthought."
That's a short statement, but it packs a punch and carries a lot of truth in its content.
The browbeaters and bullies of the forum try to discredit Ray at each and every step even downplaying his early success with the Heat while placing their hopes and dreams on one Avery Bradley who, last time I checked, hadn't won anything or proven anything and who may prove to be so injury prone he may never be a factor for the Celtics. I hope Avery comes back and develops into a perennial All-Star and more importantly straightens out this Celtics team and leads us to the title in 2012/13. However, I would like our chances a lot better if Ray Allen were playing for the Celtics and not the Heat.
One word sums up today's Post Big Three Era team: B-O-R-I-N-G!
This collection of run-of-the-mill players will never win anything, I'm afraid. Who among the faithful believes this team can contend for a title this year as constituted? Step right up and speak up loud and clear, don't be shy.
I don't even think Paul and KG buy into what Doc and Danny are selling. I don't think Paul and KG even think for one second that Rondo can be the team leader, that it is now Rondo's team. Just look and listen to them, Paul and KG, lip syncing the party line, but their body language and tone tell another story, one that speaks volumes. Why do you think KG wanted Ray back so badly, why do you think he's so put out about not having Ray? Don't answer, a rhetorical question has an implied answer.
This whole "re-tooling" farce is Plan B after Danny lost Ray. He scrambled around to put together the missing pieces and everyone slapped him on the back for putting together the "deepest team" in the NBA, on paper, at least. Paper don't play.
Hey, this team may gel overnight and make an unprecedented run straight to the playoffs, and I'd be a happy man to get to see that and be more than happy to admit that I was wrong. Hey, Let's hope I'm wrong and that this team is not boring, is not a run-of- the-mill, middle-of-the-pack NBA team or worse.
In the meantime, I shall remain critical of Celtic's management as is my right as a fan and I shall mourn the loss of Ray Allen, as is also my right as a fan. Being critical of my team, the Celtics, does not imply disloyalty, does not make me a bad fan, a bandwagon fan, or imply that I am not, in that laughable terminology of the bullies-of-the-board a "real" fan.
To the Bullies-of-the-Board
(You know who you are: you who tell people how to think and what not to say and demand that everyone agree with you or else get off the board (you know to whom I'm talking.)
To the bullies-of-the-board, the browbeaters, who can't accept that someone actually disagrees with them, or dares to venture an independent opinion, I say get a grip. Stop your bullying tactics, stop calling people stupid simply because they disagree with you. Stop calling people names, period. Stop looking for simplistic explanations for complex problems. Try to make this board a better place. It is bad enough we have to deal with Laker and Heat trolls, but we don't have to descend to their low level by bickering among ourselves.
The name-calling, the bullying, and browbeating some Celtic's fans engage in have made this board a pathetic place to be. Say that fast 3 Xs. Lol
I don't ever remember this board being such an unpleasant place to share a passion for Celtic's basketball.
Ya can't look at much, can ya, Man.

Manufacturing a Fiscal Crisis?

When does MORE booze cure alcoholism??
Simpsom-Bowles recommended $3 SPENDING CUTS for every $1 in new tax revenue.
{Bleeping} politicians gave us 2.5 CENTS for every dollar in new taxes, then spent the money raised in the new taxes in the Sandy Storm giveaway. 10 days it was all gone!

I find it somewhat hypocritical that the President accuses Republicans of not bargaining to protect private jet owners, yet threatens airport dysfunction while the FAA subsidizes unprofitable regional airports (i.e. the home of private jet owners).
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If the traveling public is affected it's only because the FAA prefers spending money on the politically connected!! But then again that is the Liberal way, so yes we'll probably see delays at the airport!!
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Cut backs on air traffic controllers and TSA workers will turn that industry to gridlock." The FAA's share of the cutback is approx $600 million out of their $15,172 million budget (Google Dept of Transporation 2013 Fiscal budget). So if the traveling public bears the brunt, it would only be due to the FAA's spending priorities. From USA Today, "•The amount of money spent on low-priority projects hit a record $507 million in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. That's nearly five times the amount in 1998, when the FAA established a new ranking system for airport projects. •More than $2 billion in low-priority funds has gone to airports used mostly by private jets and piston-engine planes, including $700 million for terminals. Pellston Regional Airport in Michigan used $7.5 million in federal funds to build a terminal with stone fireplaces and cathedral ceilings. The airport averages three departures a day."

many conservatives are saying the cuts are so small there will be no real affect on the economy. Really? The return to normal payroll tax for SS of 2% has retailers in a spin. The next cuts will affect air transportation big time. Watch corporate America go bonkers when they find out planes will be delayed hours, flights cut due to air traffic control problems and TSA layoffs. The sky won't fall but corporate America is going to get hit and they won't like it one bit! LOL

Hi everyone
I've been following Zimbra for the past few years but I decided to stick with Exchange until our server could take no more. That day is coming close and I'll be ordering new hardware for Zimbra in the next couple of months.
We're only a small business (10 users UK, 3 US remote users) but we'll be going for the NE edition with Zimbra mobile.
Always want to make sure we get all the bells & whistles!
I also wanted Zimbra to mature a bit more. I look down pm.zimbra and there seem to be many issues that are deal breakers for us. It looks like ZCS 5.5 will solve most of those though.
Enough of the background... I had a revelation today!
So calendar synchronisation seems to have taken off big style in the past couple of years, even though I thought .ics files had existed for a long time.
Shared/remote calendering is one of the reasons I want us to ditch Exchange/Outlook. Synching everyone's calendars against a bunch of .ics files which get generated by PHP using data from our MySQL databases. (I've actually set Apache to parse .ics files as PHP)
Shared production schedules, trade show dates etc, they all get updated by users on our intranet DB system. And using Zimbra to view all that info will be awesome!
Then that got me thinking, you can store many many contacts in .vcf/VCard files. My phone does entire contacts backups in that format.
So how about a feature that can let you add a "New Address Book" which is linked to a remote .vcf file?
It could work almost exactly like the way you add a new calendar in Zimbra... tick the box for a remote .vcf file and enter the URL.
We could then have Zimbra shared address books which are basically dynamic distrubution lists - updated by PHP from various MySQL queries of our intranet DB.
Is that cool or what?!
Or am I being a dumbass and have missed something really obvious?
Security is of course a concern. People's personal info being pulled around in plain text .vcf files possibly over the internet.
However our intranet DB is accessed using SSL only, and Zimbra will be accessible only over SSL as well. So the .vcf files that Zimbra pulls in will be coming over SSL only.
Thanks, Ben

Associated Press News Release
April 23, 2014
GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) -- A Kansas man charged with first-degree murder is afraid the tattooed mirror-image letters spelling out the word "murder" across his neck might prejudice a jury, so he is asking for a professional tattoo artist to remove or cover it up.
Prosecutors say they aren't opposed to Jeffrey Chapman covering his tattoo, but Barton County's sheriff says he's against transporting Chapman to a licensed tattoo facility - the only places tattoo artists are allowed to practice under Kansas law.
The Great Bend Tribune reports Chapman's trial is scheduled to start Monday in the November 2011 killing of Damon Galliart, whose body was found by hunters in a roadside ditch southwest of Great Bend.
Chapman's attorney says in a motion the tattoo would be extremely prejudicial if seen by a jury.

|Dandelion Daze fun for the whole family
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
More than 50 vehicles and 40 vendor, crafter, informational and food booths filled up the Phillips County Courthouse lawn Saturday, June 14, for the annual Dandelion Daze car show. Warm weather welcomed all in attendance before a storm rolled into town later in the evening.
Seven Model A cars were on display at the west end of the courthouse lawn Saturday as the Pikes Peak Model A Club from Colorado Springs made the trip to Holyoke for the 14th annual Dandelion Daze car show, thanks to member Karen Batman.
Batman is from the area and still has family that calls Holyoke home, including her brother Jerry Owens and nephew Randy Owens. All seven cars were between the years of 1930-1932. —Enterprise photo

|FBLA program emphasizes 'for the students, by the students'
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
In a year-end awards program that emphasized "for the students, by the students," Holyoke High School's FBLA chapter members celebrated their 2012-13 achievement Tuesday, April 30.
Ben Martinez provided guitar music as guests entered the auditorium Tuesday night, and members and their parents were introduced by Principal Susan Ortner to begin the awards program.
Chapter president Molly Brandt acknowledged parents and fellow FBLA members, thanking them for their support.
Special chapter awards were presented by adviser Kristie Ham to Brandt, who was selected by the chapter as outstanding member; and Xander Nelson, who was voted outstanding new member.
Additionally, Ham selected Kaylee Ham as the winner of the outstanding chapter contributions award for the hours of service she gave the chapter.

Ham also introduced the senior members present and told a story about each and their contributions to FBLA. Those recognized were Brandt, Alyssa Cordova, Brett Cumming, Martinez and Cierra Prelle.
Four members shared the meaning of FBLA, elaborating on Future, Business, Leaders and America. Those assisting in this part of the program were Nelson, A.J. Brandt, Brittney Prottsman and Prelle.
Molly Brandt paid tribute to adviser Ham, who will be retiring this year after 17 years as Holyoke High School's FBLA adviser. It was also noted that Ham was recently selected for inclusion on the FBLA Adviser Wall of Fame in Reston, Va.
Also introduced was Gary Krumm, who was nominated by local chapter members and recognized at state convention as Business Person of the Year.
Others recognized for their support throughout the year were the HHS TV Productions crew and adviser Cindi Beavers, The Holyoke Enterprise, Principal Ortner, staff, school board members and the career and technical business advisory committee.
Special recognition was given to First Pioneer National Bank and Grainland Co-op for their sponsorship of the state leadership conference, as well as the 2012-13 local officer team for their dedication.
Members were recognized for district and state awards which were received in the past year, as well as chapter awards and achievements.
Staying with tradition of incorporating a patriotic presentation in the annual awards program, Brandt shared a video tribute to the heroes that serve this country.
She offered a salute to graduating FBLA members Matt Golden and Chris Pell who will be entering the U.S. Army and to Leo Ortiz who will be a U.S. Marine. "We appreciate your bravery and willingness to serve out country," Brandt added.

We are trying to design a simple black and white map for a 5.5 x 8.5 book that is Victorian era. It has to show the path of the journey of a character. We bought Profantasy to attempt to make it, but there are no homes that look Victorian. Are Victorian images available anywhere? I would pay someone to make this map.

Novak Djokovic recently met up with compatriot Janko Tipsarevic for an exhibition at the ski resort St. Anton in Austria.
Tipsy was a last minute replacement for Marat Safin who pulled out of the exo after spraining his ankle in practice. The Russian returned to Valencia to visit his doctor but not before taking a few candid shots with Nole *swoons*:
I wonder why I love tennis so? Anyway the Masters Cup champ, who debuted the new metallic silver Barricades during the match, was defeated by his compatriot 9-8 (4).
And more interesting Nole news: he was invited by top baller Rafael Nadal to take part in the "Friends of Iker vs. Friends of Rafa" charity event tomorrow! Other tennis ballers taking part include David Ferrer + Fernando Verdasco. I can't wait to see video/images from THAT event...oy.
In the meantime, here's some video in German from the exo match featuring a furry Nole + Tipsy. Feel free to leave the translation in the comments section.

I love how they sit on the same tiny bench to have a chat.ReplyDelete
Erm, Novak, shave. Now. Seriously, he has more hair on his chin than Davydenko can muster on his entire head.
I think Nole looks pretty hot here...but I don't mind a scruffy man! Me thinks I'm developing a little crush on him..... it definitely doesn't hurt seeing him have a good time with his tennis buds and hearing him speak German (sonja: translate please! He sounds hot!) And now that he's joining Rafa's charity event - OH! It's too much!ReplyDelete
P.S. Rich, where's my Rafa latte this morning?? It's Monday! Throw me a bone!! :D
Lucky robot.ReplyDelete
anon: very Fed Wimb '08 with HrbatyReplyDelete
johanne: i didn't see anything yet today specifically referencing your caramel latte. feel free to send along any tips if you see anything out there!
i def don't mind scruff. Nole sure looks like he's enjoying his off-season huh?
pamela: true true, how about being the in that nole-marat sandwich?
Rich: I'm just being selfish and giving you a hard time... I trust your judgment :) But I did just see that he won the Play of The Year vote on ATP's website. Not sure if it's blogworthy, but there was def some stiff competition. VAMOS RAFA!!ReplyDelete
Share Marat? Are you insane? Besides, I don't care for Novak, but that may change over time.ReplyDelete
- johanneDecember 15, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Pamela: LOL I just got your robot reference :) Indeed, Safin's chestal area is to-die.ReplyDelete
Pamela: C'mon, sharing is caring. Don't ya care about spreading the Marat around???ReplyDelete
johanne: the man, as a whole, is to die. even his crazy, temperamental side. i'm sure he's prob a NIGHTMARE to date but who wouldn't take the chance? *starts daydreaming*
wait, where was i???
As a long time reader and new commenter, I have to say this:ReplyDelete
Marat is mine. I am selfish, I do NOT share. The rest of you can lust over Rafa, although I love love love him as a player - I'm content to admire his arms and other "assets" with the masses.
Johanne: Marat is the only one that turns me into a "fangirl." I'm with you Rich, Marat as a whole is ... whew, never mind.. I'm sure this is a PG13 blog.
- johanneDecember 15, 2008 at 2:57 PM
Rich: Agreed... His hot temper usually just comes off as, well, hot!! He's funny too. And tall....wait, where am I?? :DReplyDelete
Pamela: Consider yourself lucky! I get lusty after many many hot ballers... but I like it that way!! And for the record, I would say this blog has been past the PG13 boundaries many a time, mostly due to us Rafanatics :)
pamela: we'll be fighting then! i love rafa but i find marat so much sexier - for me and apparently you too!!ReplyDelete
and no worries, some days DtL is PG13 and somedays it's NC-17 with a sprinkling of other ratings in between so feel free to speak your mind (especially about the boy ballers.)
johanne: yes, you (and a few nameless others) are exhibit A for above mentioned examples!
You can keep Marat - for some reason this guy doesn't do anything for me.ReplyDelete
Nole I like. :)
His German is so sexy, I will mos def translate, but right now I'm in the office and can't turn on the speakers... Dang!
As soon as I'm home I'll deliver, though!
sonja: cool - thanks!ReplyDelete
Woot I love Nole and Tipsy. Or is it Nipsy? And I think Nole looks hot with the scruff.ReplyDelete
So here's the translation of what Nole said in the interview:ReplyDelete
Nole: This week I've worked a lot. Only once I went skiing, but not a lot. Today's match was all for the fans - special thanks to the Serbian fans for coming today. It was a lot of fun.
Q: You and your family are here the third time already - apparently you really like it here. What's so special about St. Anton?
Nole: We're having so much fun here. It's great to be here with my whole family, especially my brothers. We're doing a lot of sports, skiing, but also working. Of course this tournament is not top priority throughout the year, but I really enjoy being here.
Q: Hopefully you'll get to prepare as well as last year when you won the Aussie Open then. This year there probably will be much more pressure. Is it harder going in as the title defender?
Nole: Sure, it is hard. But I try to stay positive and also earn even more titles.
Q: How important is no.1 for you? Obviously you're on the fastlane right now.
Nole: It's very important for me and my family. It's always been my dream, you know. But there's still plenty of time, I'm only 21. We'll see what the future brings.
BTW, "Nipsy" cracked me up! LOL
jimmy: nipsy - one can only dream though i'd prefer "novich" or "nich" or "role"...yeah yeah that's niceReplyDelete
sonja: thanks for translating!
Very welcome Rich.ReplyDelete
I just realized: Nole reminds me so much of Alex the Lion of "Madagascar" in the first pic. Can't help it! LOL

2014 Season Recap
Posted by: lori on Nov 20, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Mooresville, NC (November 20, 2013) – After qualifying 40th for Sunday's season finale at Homestead, Mears hustled around the 1.5-mile racetrack and, after picking up 12 positions, he recorded a 28th place finish. When the checkered flag ended the race, it marked the close of Germain Racing's first full season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. With the 2013 season behind them, Casey Mears and his GEICO team look to the bright future that lies in wait.
Mears and company experienced considerable improvement in the 2013 season, leaving them hopeful as they head into what will be a busy winter. The key to Germain Racing's success is that they keep moving forward. Since entering NASCAR's elite series in 2009, after two championships in five years in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the organization has improved with each passing season and this year is no different. Team owner Bob Germain wraps up the season 26th in the Owner Point standings after being 30th a year ago, while driver Casey Mears finishes up 2013 in the 24th position in Driver Points, a five spot improvement over 2012, which saw him 29th. Mears and the GEICO team also recorded 20 Top 25 finishes in 2013.
Many organizations will take time off after returning from Homestead, but the GEICO team went scurrying back to the race shop where they are anxious to get their hands on the new #13 Chevrolet SS, which will come rolling in any day now. On October 11th, Germain Racing announced a new alliance with Richard Childress Racing, which will see them transitioning to Chevrolet in the off-season. Switching manufacturers is something that will demand all hands on deck as everyone begins celebrating the holidays. With very little employee turnover, the Germain Racing team provides a family atmosphere that serves as a platform for growth and success.
The term 'off-season' is a bit of a misnomer, as the hours committed by the team will actually increase at different times in an effort to be prepared for a rapidly approaching 2014 season. While the green flag for the 2014 Daytona 500 is not scheduled to wave until 1:19 PM (ET) on Sunday, February 23rd, the GEICO team will visit the historic Daytona International Speedway for a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series test on January 9th and 10th. Subsequent testing will also take place in January, leaving very little downtime for crew members to enjoy the comfort of their own bed.
"It's been a nice year of improvement and growth in our GEICO program and next season should continue to help us to expand and elevate our status in the Sprint Cup Series," Casey Mears said. "I'm so proud of the guys on this Germain Racing team and thankful for the hard work they put into making sure we have cars ready to go and are prepared each week. They spend a lot of time away from their families, so I hope they can enjoy some time at home over the holidays." He continued, "We are all very appreciative of the support of our sponsor GEICO and our team owner Bob Germain because it's their commitment that will allow us to keep building our program."
Armed with a full-season sponsorship commitment from GEICO and a driver under a multiyear agreement, consistency should favor the Germain Racing team as they quickly begin to eye the upcoming 2014 season. As they leave what's behind and reach toward what's ahead, Mears and his team members are focused on growing a program that has already experienced considerable success.

Date: Apr 14th, 2013
Anoka County Library, in partnership with the Lyric Arts Theater, is pleased to offer a "Page & Stage" performance of Death of a Salesman on Sunday, April 14th, beginning at 12:00 pm at the Lyric Arts Main Street Stage. Lyric Arts Theater is located at 420 E. Main Street in Anoka.
Participants will receive a copy of the script and a study guide to prepare for the pre-show discussion. Cristopher Tibbetts will facilitate the discussion of the script, its characters, and "what to look for" in the performance. Participants will enjoy the performance of Death of a Salesman and then stay for a post-show discussion where the cast and director hold a question and answer session with the audience.
"This work was written more than 60 years ago but we can all learn lessons from the hardships and resulting lessons learned by Willy Loman," said Anoka County Commissioner Robyn West. "This Page and Stage event is an opportunity to get an even greater understanding of these complex characters."
In Death of a Salesman, written by Arthur Miller, we meet Willy Loman, an aging salesman who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons, and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the "American Dream" kept him blind to the people who truly loved him.
As relevant today as it was in 1949 when it received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Death of a Salesman remains a profound classic of American Theatre.
"Have you ever wondered why something is considered a classic?" said Library Board President Bob Thistle. "By reading the script and discussing your thoughts, you will discover why this play has endured and why the themes still speak to us."
The program is open to ages 15 and older. Registration is required and seating is limited. To reserve a spot, contact the Main Street Box Office at 763-433-2510 extension 101 and mention the Anoka County Library Death of a Salesman "Page and Stage" program. Participants must register by April 5th and are expected to take part in all aspects of the program, including pre-show and post-show discussions.
To register for this free event, call 763-433-2510, extension 101. This event is funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. For more information about Lyric Arts Theater, visit www.lyricarts.org. For more information about this program and Anoka County Library, visit www.anokacountylibrary.org.

When it comes to aging and skin damage, the eye area is exceptionally vulnerable. The muscle mobility that helps to form expressions can lead to the skin around the eyes becoming stretched and loose. Repeated creasing and wrinkling around the corners of the eyes can cause crow's feet to form. Depletion of vital collagen and elastin reserves can reduce elasticity and prevent the skin regaining its shape. Lifestyle issues can lead to the formation of bags and dark circles below the eyes. Wilma Schumann Eye Products are designed to replenish vital collagen, repair damage to the vulnerable eye area, and restore youthfulness and vitality. These dermo-esthetic products contain plant extracts, vitamins, and antioxidants that work together to heal, soothe, and protect the fragile and sensitive eye area. Apply Wilma Schumann Eye Products to your skin on a regular basis and you will achieve impressive results.
Drawing from skin care experience built up over the past 25 years, Wilma Schumann Eye Products focus on effective delivery of proven ingredients. This ethical range is committed to delivering outstanding skin care in a socially responsible manner.
Whether your eyes need an instant boost or longer term loving care, Wilma Schumann Eye Products can replenish and restore vital nutrients that may have become depleted. The fragile skin around the eyes will be strengthened, nourished, and tightened. Tired, puffy eyes will be refreshed and revitalized, helping them appear younger and brighter.
The level of collagen in the skin around the eyes diminishes over time. This can be due to the natural aging process or to environmental factors. Boosting collagen levels helps to reduce the depth of wrinkles, minimize puffiness, and strengthen the skin. Wilma Schumann Collagen Booster Pads contain pure collagen to restore the elasticity and resilience of the skin. Rose hip oil, glycerin, allantoin, and hyaluronic acid nourish and hydrate the eye area, helping it to retain its contour and reducing puffiness. Apply one pad below each eye after cleansing and leave for 20 minutes to allow the active ingredients to penetrate the skin.
To deliver the essential nutrients and hydration that your eyes require, apply Wilma Schumann Eye Creme Intensiv to the eye area every morning and evening. Pat it around the eye contour using your ring finger. A unique blend of botanical extracts, proteins, and antioxidants repairs existing damage and protects the eye area from aging and environmental aggressors. Light-reflecting particles reduce the impact of dark circles, brightening the eye contour. As this luxurious cream does not contain any artificial color or fragrance, it is suitable for use on the most sensitive skin.

The belief that anyone "asks" to be abused and the complacency that relegate domestic violence to "a family matter" is why Take Back the Night is marching into another decade.
Ingenuity, creativity, the determination to succeed – this is the stuff of innovation that people brag about when advances in technology or positive change are highlighted. Finding a solution for an impossible situation ups the value of these bragging rights, but what drives it all is the unshakable motivation to get to a new solution.
Money worries have many people focusing on their checkbooks and losing sight of the world around them. Taking care of "my own" comes before everything else is why people aren't aware of what's happening in Cincinnati as a result of the economic downturn, according to Tracy Cook, executive director of ProKids.
The NAACP turned out to the City Council meeting Wednesday to start the conversation about a disproportionate amount of city contracts awarded to non-minority contractors. Many of the speakers said that of the $1 billion worth of contracts awarded by the city, less than 1 percent were given to minorities.
A healthy environment for learning makes sense, but a school as a green school as "learning tool" – what does that mean?

Going paperless – using e-mail, reading documents on line and other such electronic alternatives – is supposed to help save trees and reduce garbage going to landfills. But what happens when the computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, modem and all of the other electronic stuff becomes obsolete?
To keep that stuff out of your local landfill, Tri-County Mall (11700 Princeton Pike, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45246) will play host to an earth-day related event that gives anyone a free method of environmentally responsible equipment disposal. On April 18 (Saturday) 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will collect enough "computer electronics only" to fill two trucks.
No word on how big the trucks are, but one would guess they'll be large enough to display the company logo.

(CNN) -- A North Carolina middle school teacher was suspended for three days for showing students the rap video "Same Love," Macklemore's song promoting equal rights for gays.
"The issue in this matter was one of whether the video was curriculum-based, educationally-related, and age-appropriate for a class of prepubescent 13-year-olds," Alexander County school board attorney Joel Harbinson told CNN on Thursday.
"The right-wing conservatives think that it's a decision and you can be cured with some treatment and religion, man-made rewiring of a predisposition," Macklemore raps.
"The administration and the teacher reached an understanding based solely on these factors that was mutually agreeable to all parties," Harbinson said. "We look forward to the teacher being a valuable member of our school system for years to come as we continue our commitment to provide the best possible education to all of our students as well as to treat each of them with compassion and understanding."
"This level of intolerance and fear is still very active in America, but at times is not completely visible," Macklemore wrote on his website. "This incident is just one of tens of thousands that have happened across the country where schools have exposed a latent homophobia, preventing safe space for all young people to feel confident in being themselves."
"Same Love" won the 2013 MTV Video Music Award for best hip-hop video with a social message last month.

Item # SHI001E
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Trigger Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano XTR SL-M980 Shifter - Left or Right $0.00
Whether you love the thought of running a single ring up front with XTR 10-speed in back, or you're looking for the crispest front shifting around, then this XTR Rapidfire Plus Rear Shift Lever SL-M980 is precisely what you need. And if lightness and simplicity is what you seek, you won't be disappointed with the new XTR 980 design. It doesn't have an optical gear display, and the clamp assembly can be replaced with the available I-Spec mount so that you can fasten the shifter directly to the clamp assembly on your 980 XTR brake levers, saving space and weight on the handlebars.
Like previous generations of XTR shifters, the rear M980 pod has the multi-release function, which means that you can make upshifts to smaller cogs more than one gear at a time. It also has instant release, so cable tension is released as soon as you click the forward trigger paddle. It can be operated with either your thumb or finger. This 2-way release design allows easy upshifts in the back even when standing out of the saddle. One technology that is new for these 980 XTR Shifters is Shimano's Vivid Index. It creates a more positive feel for the large, thumb shifter paddle. As you push it, you can't help but notice the click of the indexed ratchet mechanism so you'll always know you've made the shift. Another benefit is that the "weight" of the shifts is more consistent across the gear range for the rear shifter so a shift from the 34 to 36t feels like a shift from the 12 to 13t cogs.
The XTR Rapidfire Plus Rear Shift Lever SL-M980 is sold individually as either a front or rear. It's designed to be used with Shimano Dyna-Sys 10-speed derailleurs, cassettes, and chain.

Pleased with my choice
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased these for a 1x10 setup. My full-suspension came with a SRAM XO setup and I've read/experienced how crisply and cleanly SRAM's shift. After a month with the XTR's, these come out on top for me. They are just as crisp and precise. I like the feedback, engagement, and ergonomics. I've not tried the XX's or XX1's but so far, these are my #1 pick.
Is this the regular clamp style non ispec...
Is this the regular clamp style non ispec ?
I just got the regular clamp, non-sliding version.
Love these
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Shimano makes good stuff, but these are a significant improvement over the XT. Textured metal lever with better ergonomics is reason alone to upgrade.
One note- the picture above with the sliding adjustment if incorrect. The slotted bracket has been discontinued due to sram patent.

The latest trailer consists of a corner store hold-up and the multiple ways in which the scenario can be thwarted, avoided or handled.
Boy has Amazon got a deal for you! If youve been running around looking for the perfect time to get your PS3, now is it. Well, now exactly now but soon. Amazon has 3 incredible PS3 bundles ready for the purchasing. The catch is this yup, theres a catch you have to vote on which bundle you want. Then if youre one of the lucky few you get to race to snatch one up before everyone else.
Ive had nothing but luck with our UPS guy. I like what Brown does for me. For instance, when its raining and no one is home hell take our little recycling bin and put packages in there to keep them dry. Its the little touches. Now UPS as a whole is taking a greener approach to package shipment by testing out the HP Handheld sp400 All-in-One.
I dont know if you noticed, but the Best Buy Black Friday ad hit the interwebs earlier. It wouldnt be your fault if you didnt notice because the deals are lame. Seriously and inexcusably lame. I guess it doesnt matter to someone like me who never comes within 100 yards of a store on Black Friday. But what about all the deal hounds out there?
Our kids grow up, they move on, and so must we. Thats true even if your child is an extremely popular gadget. Tony Fadell, inventor of the iPod (along with other people, but you know he was the guy) is leaving his position at Apple to take on a reduced role as an advisor to Steve Jobs. Its certainly simplistic to claim that Fadell invented the iPod when it was a team effort. Despite work by a team, and Apple hardware chief of engineering Jon Rubenstein, Fadell is still considered the popular MP3s father.
Perhaps Emperor Palpatine wont be taking over, and getting things done, come January. Perhaps election day isnt over yet. But what is happening are holographic images of pundits will be talking to Wolf Blitzer on CNNs election night coverage. As in full 3D motherflippin holograms. This bodes well for the Emperors plans to sporadically appear in each American home to scare the children with his raspy voice and force lightning withered skin.
Apparently English professors are wrong about the fall of man happening due to OMG! chatspeak. The abbreviated conversations we have on IM or in text messages have long been troubling to those who enjoy the written word. A recent study from Cornell University has proven that this is just not the case. Good news for those of us who have long held that baggy pants barely hanging on to the wearer is the true culprit in the demise of our youth today.
My own PS3 is a regular old 80GB model that came packed with Metal Gear Solid IV. I used my covetous eyes to look at the gun metal gray special edition, but alas was unable to procure one. But Im happy with my system, at least until today. Coming across the Morpheon Mods take on a MGS4 PS3 is enough to make any fan of the series weep with desire.
In recent years Universal Studios theme parks have made great strides to compete with Disneys Imagineers. While many people maintain that Disney World and Disney Land are just for kids, or not cool enough for the adult crowd, attendance numbers have shown a different story. Now Universal is in the process of putting in a Harry Potter section of its Orlando park. This will be followed up by a Transformers themed ride in the Hollywood and Singapore parks.
For some reason figurines are a popular portion of the geek culture. Video games come packed with them in special limited edition cases, and die hards will spend lots of money searching the internet to complete a collection. I dont go in for that, most likely because as an adult I dont know what Id do with them. But that doesnt stop figurines from being popular.
Sonys BRAVIA Internet Video Link has been mediocre at best so far. At least when you consider the $299 add-on pricing. I can watch YouTube on my computer. So its odd that I dont like the offering of Hancock prior to its Blu-ray release. After all, this is the sort of content BRAVIA owners are expecting from Sony. Heres the issue: why in the hell is this system not being integrated onto the PlayStation Network?
Im here to have a very special talk with you about an important issue. An issue that affects thousands of people each and every day. Look, I know that paying for a flight costs an unseemly amount of money. And now, as I found out first hand a few weeks ago, airlines are trying to nickel and dime passengers out of money to pay exorbitant gas prices. It sucks, and I dont necessarily begrudge the airlines.
Im all for alternative fuel sources. Ill even accept that Hybrids are at least something being done by car manufacturers, even if they dont provide enough energy savings to make the extra cost worthwhile. But using air as a fuel source in a vehicle is a new one for me. Sure I had the CO2 cartridge racing cars as a kid, but to take the idea of a compressed gas and turn that into a drive for a vehicle is slightly crazy.
Is your motorcycle a death dealing machine? Yeah, I didnt think so. Technically neither is the Fighter cycle from Confederate Motor Company, but it sure does look like something a T-800 would ride around on. The bike looks as if it was precision carved from a single block of metal, and that includes the entire engine. I wonder what the logistical problems would be to actually achieve such a feat.
It looks like Circuit City is in dire straights at the moment. Although I guess most companies and individuals are as the market plummets on a daily basis. The electronics retailers isnt quite ready to take its final death gasp, but after losing $239 million and stock prices dipping below 50 cents a share things dont look good. I mentioned to my wife whilst enjoying a brownie last night that perhaps Circuit City should overcharge in the style of Best Buy.

CindySays: Foam roller massages sore muscles
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Dear Cindy,
My trainer recommended I use a foam roller because I have pain in my hip area after my workouts. I love to challenge my body, so I hit it hard, but I am left with really tight muscles. He says the roller will help me recover from workouts like a massage would, but when I tried rolling on it in the gym, it was pretty painful. I'd like to know if this tool has merit, or is it just all hype? -- Greg
Dear Greg,
Contrary to slick marketing and hype that drives most of today's fitness products, I honestly believe the foam roller is one of the best investments active people can make. It is one of the simplest yet most-valuable pieces of fitness paraphernalia created in the past 15 years to treat tight, sore muscles. Called the poor man's massage therapist, the foam roller's use for therapeutic reasons continues to grow.
I'm wholeheartedly in favor of foam rolling for anyone who experiences painful knots from sports, exercise, running, cycling, etc. Of course, you should always check with your physician or sports medicine specialist if your hip pain is due to more than tight, stiff muscles after exercise.
What is it?
It is a foam cylinder, six inches in diameter, that eases tension and mimics a deep gliding massage using your own body weight and agility. It has evolved from a "one density fits all" to having varying degrees of firmness, which means the roller can be beneficial to all ages and to varying degrees of muscularity.
Think about it. You know how scratching your back on a door frame feels so good? Why? Because you can control the amount of pressure exactly where you want and need it and you need no help from anyone.
How does it work?
Just as a massage therapist does during a deep tissue massage, a foam roller can locate trigger points -- tender or painful areas -- and breaks down soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue. Some muscles (like hip flexors) and ligaments (like the iliotibial band) are prone to shortening, which make them difficult to stretch. Foam rolling can apply deep pressure massage to such areas and lengthen shortened tissues, thereby preventing physical imbalances that can increase the risk for injury. It also stretches muscles, soothes tight fascia and increases blood flow and circulation.
Why does exercise sometimes cause pain?
The superficial -- just beneath the skin -- fascia is what is referred to as connective tissue. It connects the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the body. Together, muscle and fascia make up the myofascia system. Various factors, including poor mechanics, injury, overuse and lack of sufficient recovery, can cause the fascia and underlying muscle tissue to become stuck together. This creates an adhesion-scar tissue, which restricts muscle movement, causes pain and limits range of motion.
Foam roller benefits
Do's and don'ts of foam rolling
Bottom line
Whether you are an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, there is merit in using a foam roller. It may cause some discomfort while you are rolling on the tender areas, but be patient, apply gentle pressure and soon you will reap the rewards. At about $20, this under-hyped fitness tool is an inexpensive way to reduce pain during and after physical activity.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Maybe it's just me, but I was expecting Kyle Shanahan's phone to be ringing off the hook once the Redskins were bounced from the playoffs, now 11 days ago.
After all, Shanahan, 33, was the mastermind behind the Redskins pistol offense, which shattered team records and gave opposing defenses nightmares. Seattle and San Francisco added wrinkles of "Kyle Style" to their offensive attacks. The 49ers may even advance to the Super Bowl because of the change.
Plus Kyle, as well as his father Mike, were not shy about admitting he would love to one day become a head coach.
Why wouldn't a team like Arizona, Jacksonville or even Philadelphia bother to interview the potential prodigy? I'm not saying they should absolutely hire him, but the work he did in 2012 with rookies and a sub-par receiving group was nothing short of sensational.
So I got curious and picked up the phone, calling a handful of agents and personnel men around the NFL.
One plugged-in agent I spoke to, who represents a big-time player in the AFC South and has represented coaches in the past, had an interesting take.
"The Redskins generally somehow let information leak, but there's a strong feeling around the league that the paperwork is already drawn for Kyle to become the next Redskins coach," said the longtime agent, who thinks teams would be wasting their time interviewing the Redskins offensive coordinator. "Mike is a protective guy. He wants the best for his son. And he thinks the best for Kyle is in Washington with Robert Griffin III."
But what if Kyle keeps excelling, and the Redskins keep winning, and Dan Snyder extends Mike Shanahan's contract?
"That becomes a dangerous slope, because you know Kyle will be getting the itch to be the man in charge -- and get away from his father's shadow," said the agent. "If that scenario plays out, I'd bet the extension is a two or three-year [deal], and not five-years for Mike."
One NFC personnel guy only gave me a short amount of his time, but had this interesting nugget:
"A lot of NFL front offices are scared of the option offense, in the sense that, 'Hey, what if defenses figure it out in 2013?' Would [Kyle] be as good with a non-superstar quarterback, too?"
Kyle Shanahan has a unique situation which is contributing to his quiet off-season. His control-freak dad is his boss. He innovated an offense, which as successful as it's been, it's not scientifically proven yet. And if he sticks around long enough in D.C., he will be able to have RGIII in the prime of his career.
But if he's able to duplicate these offensive results next season, especially if a portion of it is with Kirk Cousins, some NFL front office with deep pockets is going to try and lure him away.

(Yamaha workers and family members plant trees.)
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., the "Stay The Trail" off-highway vehicle education program in Colorado and the Cheaha Trail Riders' Danny Hubbard in Alabama all received prestigious awards on April 16 from the American Trails organization.
American Trails is a national, nonprofit organization working on behalf of all trail interests, promoting the creation, conservation and broad enjoyment of quality trails and greenways. Its National Trails Awards is one of the ways that American Trails recognizes the exemplary people and organizations working to create and sustain a national system of trails to meet the recreation, health, and travel needs of all Americans.
The awards are given out every two years during the American Trails National Symposium.
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. earned the group's Corporate Award. This award is given to a business or corporation that has demonstrated significant, sustained, and exemplary service to trail planning, implementation, and/or recreation.
Yamaha Motor Corporation established the Yamaha OHV Access Initiative in 2008 to support the OHV community nationwide. In the past four years, the initiative has supported thousands of miles of trails by maintaining riding areas, building necessary bridges, and financially supporting nonprofit organizations that seek to increase OHV access in their respective communities. The Initiative's GRANT Program has now invested in 37 different states, contributing more than $2 million to community projects.
In addition, Yamaha Motor Corporation's employees have volunteered more than 500 hours to the improvement of OHV trails and the planting of trees in the San Bernardino National Forest in California.
The "Stay The Trail" program in Colorado earned the organization's Outstanding Trail Sharing Award. This award recognizes innovative and successful trail sharing efforts, programs and systems.
Established in 2002, the Stay The Trail OHV Education Program was developed by the Responsible Recreation Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, federal Bureau of Land Management and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The program encourages responsible trail and land use in the state of Colorado.
Its outreach activities include towing educational trailers throughout the state, maintaining the program's website, and advertising to increase awareness and discourage irresponsible OHV use on public lands. In addition to educating the public, Stay The Trail works directly with local land managers and recreation staff to provide innovative solutions to trail issues that arise.
Danny Hubbard, a member of the AMA-chartered Cheaha Trail Riders in Alabama, earned a State Trail Advocacy Awards. The Trail Advocacy award is given to an individual who has demonstrated successful efforts to influence public policy relating to trail planning, trail protection, trail development or maintenance.

IUED, the Graduate Institute for Development Studies in Geneva, and IUCN, the World Conservation Union, with funding from RUIG-GIAN, the Geneva International Academic Network, implemented an innovative partnership on knowledge generation for pro-poor and equitable conservation.
Poverty, rights and inequity are fundamental challenges, which the conservation community has addressed with varying success. Ranging from Integrated Conservation and Development Projects to policy work, which seeks to incorporate environmental sustainability in poverty reduction strategies, the entry points are multiple.
Poverty, rights and inequity are integral to the very foundation and focus of Development Studies. IUED has a long tradition in providing critical analysis of both development thinking and practice. Linking such knowledge to the concrete context of conservation triggers both conceptual and methodological questions.
Seen separately, both conservation and development continue to quest both natural and social sciences, yet are bound to fail unless strong inter-linkages are built. Taken together, however, they pose immense challenges in terms of targeting research, harnessing inter-disciplinarity and identifying effective approaches.
What are the effective entry points to simultaneously address poverty, equity and rights in conservation? What are the important questions to be asked at the level of situation analysis? Where do we lack knowledge, which could significantly strengthen equitable and poverty-focused conservation? What is the role and impact of inclusive processes, participation and rights in conservation for poverty reduction?
By linking these two knowledge institutions, the project built a bridge between critical academic analysis in the development field with policy and practice in the conservation field. It made the link between conceptual and theoretical developments and the practical realities faced by governments and the wider conservation and development communities in terms of reconciling development needs and sustainable management of natural resources. Final project papers are available below.

Dancing with the Stars is supposed to be about dancing, but this week it's been about a whole lot more. The gossip fodder hasn't let up for a nanosecond, and today is no exception. After being banned from the ABC talk show circuit following his and Hope Solo's week 9 elimination, pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy finally got a chance to talk. And boy, did he.
Maks tells the NY Post that he thinks JR Martinez should win the Season 13 Mirrorball trophy (which will be awarded on next week's Dancing with the Stars finale show), and if he doesn't "there is something fundamentally wrong with America." Whew. At long last Maks also addresses his current relationship with ex-fiancé Karina Smirnoff, JR's pro partner. "I will never speak to that person again. And I never have. It has been years now." Double whew. What's it like on the set for these two? One can only imagine the tension in the skybox where all the contestants must hang close together two nights a week. If two people refuse to speak to each other, it can hardly go unnoticed. For his part, Maks admits it's been hard. For her part, Karina has maintained her silence.
Dancing with the Stars long time fans will recall Maks' proposal of marriage to Karina on New Year's 2009. Their engagement ended within months, supposedly over the couple's inability to agree on children. Karina became engaged again last year, this time to pro baseball player Brad Penny. And from the looks of it, this wedding may never take place either. The couple recently postponed their winter wedding.
Despite his personal feelings about Karina, Maks really wants JR to win Season 13. "I think J.R. deserves it. It is his right to walk into Dancing With The Stars and walk away with the trophy. But on top of all of that, he is a great dancer." Well said, Maks.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- Composing music with computers at Loiederman Middle School in Silver Spring Maryland is so cool! Ms Carson's music lab has 32 Mac Computers connected to Roland keyboards.
Using software like Garage Band and Sebelius 6, students are creating original songs and playing them too. Because the computers are networked together, while Ms Carson sits at her workstation in the front of the room, she can peak in on every student's desk top at once.
That enables her to give individual attention to the beginners and advanced students alike.

Jacksonville, FL (Sports Network) - Pat Fitzgerald never won a bowl game at
Northwestern as a player, but now he's helped end the Wildcats' long
postseason drought as a coach.
An elongated 64-year stretch to be exact.
Venrick Mark, Trevor Siemian and Tyris Jones all ran for touchdowns in No. 21
Northwestern's 34-20 win over Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl.
The Wildcats' lone bowl win prior to Tuesday was a victory over California in
the 1949 Rose Bowl.
Kain Colter and Siemian split time at quarterback. Siemian threw for 120 yards
on 12-of-21 efficiency with an interception, while Colter tossed two picks and
completed 9-of-15 passes for 76 yards. Colter added 75 yards on the ground for
Northwestern (10-3), which made its fifth consecutive bowl appearances and had
dropped nine straight postseason tilts coming in.
Dan Vitale caught seven passes for 82 yards in the win.
Tyler Russell struggled mightily and completed just 12 passes on 28 attempts
for 106 yards with four interceptions for the Bulldogs (8-5), who lost five of
their last six contests to close the year after a 7-0 start.

|8 swimmers compete with SHS
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Eight Holyoke High School students and one Haxtun student are practicing at the Holyoke Swimming Pool, but will compete again this season with the Sterling High School girls' swim team, coached by Cindy Pennington. Locally, Adria Colver and Alyson (Colver) Brinkema coach on a volunteer basis for the local swimmers.
Returning letterwinners from last year's team are senior LeAnne McWilliams and sophomore Briar Bergner. Also returning to the team are junior Nicole Brandt and sophomore Pamela McWilliams. Three experienced freshmen who have competed on Holyoke's summer swim team have also committed to the Sterling team. They include Holyoke students Amy Krogmeier and Jordan Zeiler and Haxtun student Amber Wilkening. Additionally, senior newcomers Chelsy Gomez and Kendra Walz are competing with the swim team this season.
Competition for the Sterling team opened at Northridge Tuesday, Dec. 2. Next up is the Valley Invitational Friday and Saturday, Dec. 5-6. Only three home duals at the Sterling pool are scheduled this season. They will be held Monday, Dec. 15, Tuesday, Jan. 6 and Tuesday, Jan. 27. Coach Colver noted Holyoke had a strong graduating class of swimmers last year. However, with the remaining letterwinners and newcomers, she feels they will have a strong team. She added they will have great coverage in all strokes. "It's remarkable to see these girls step up," said Colver, as she looks forward to the upcoming season.
Colver is in her 20th year of coaching swimming in Holyoke. Brinkema coached swimming at Mountain View High School in Loveland. As a senior at HHS in 2000-01, Brinkema earned state champion honors in the 4A-5A 100 meter freestyle and was named 4A Swimmer of the Year.
