Deen suffers unfairly
Published: Thursday, July 4, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 9:32 a.m.
Editor: I think it is such a disgrace the way the liberal media and the big retail stores are treating Paula Deen because of something she said nearly 30 years ago. This is political correctness run amuck. This all started when someone at one of her restaurants had a gripe about something and accused Paula of using a racial slur.
Has anyone noticed that no one has actually revealed what was said at the restaurant, which leads me to wonder if it was even true to start with. All the political correct liberals are focusing on is a word she used nearly 30 years ago. This is as outrageous as it can be. What Paula should have done is kept her mouth shut and not admit to anything and refuse to apologize.
If some liberal celebrity makes some off-the-wall comment about someone or a certain group of people, he or she can continue their career, stores will keep selling their merchandise, and they are not pressured to apologize. But the mainstream media wants nothing less than to destroy Paula. There is not a person in this world that hasn't said something in their past that they wish they hadn't said, whether it be a racial slur or something else.
Sears, JCPenney, Walgreens, Walmart, Target and the Food Network have all severed all ties to Deen because of the pressure to be politically correct. Everyone who is a fan of Deen should boycott these stores after they go in and buy up every piece of Deen merchandise they have in stock. Walmart and Target should go through all their CDs and videos and throw out every one of them that has racial slurs in them. If they don't, they need to call Deen and apologize to her. That is the worst of double standards.
This political correctness thing is hurting this country as much as anything else. It is a shame what is happening to Paula Deen, and it needs to be nipped in the bud right now before it goes any further.

|Matt Biggers
He's not coming to the Rocky Mountains to retire - not just yet anyway.
Biggers has been hired by the University of Colorado to fill the newly created role of chief marketing officer, a position designed to enhance the athletic department's operation on several fronts and provide additional direction as the school continues its transition into the Pac-12 Conference.
"We're really pleased Matt has decided to join us," CU Athletic Director Mike Bohn said. "He brings an immediate level of expertise in the areas of sales, branding and marketing and will add to the depth of our existing marketing initiatives."
Bohn also expects the new CMO position to help "pull all of our external units together in a way that leverages our collective marketing assets" as well as "maximize revenue and the experience for our fan base."
Biggers, 40, reports for work on July 5. He has spent the past 17 years in the NBA, working first with the Orlando Magic (1999-2007) before being hired by the New Orleans Hornets in 2007. He left Orlando as the director of marketing and joined the Hornets as vice president of marketing and communications.
In his second season with the Hornets, Biggers was promoted to senior vice president of marketing and communications, a position in which he oversaw the organization's marketing, advertising, branding, creative services, events, game operations, media relations and broadcasting.
"He's a seasoned professional coming out of the NBA," Bohn said. "We're excited to see what Matt can bring from professional sports to the collegiate marketplace."
Bohn said Biggers' duties at CU will include overseeing marketing and promotions, the ticket office, CUBuffs.com and BuffVision. Biggers also will collaborate in the staging of special events and with Buffalo Sports Properties (BSP) as well as with the CU Foundation, the school's fund-raising arm.
Biggers called his new position and its varied responsibilities "an exciting opportunity for growth and personal challenge . . . I know I'm coming into a little different industry, but my hope is to bring experiences from (the NBA) and translate them to the college level.
"Some things will be different, but sometimes bringing experience from the outside can be beneficial. I come into this humble; I look at the ticket growth (in football and basketball) from the last few years and know this isn't a broken brand. Hopefully, we can take it to the next level."
Associate Athletic Director Jim Senter, who chaired the search committee for CU's new CMO, said Biggers emerged from a "tremendous pool" of 140-plus applicants "from all over the country. This is a huge job and it was as thorough a search as I've ever been involved in."
The chance to return to college sports - particularly in Colorado - "was too good to pass up . . . I'm a huge college sports fan," Biggers said, adding that his sister-in-law is a CU graduate and she and her family live in Denver. On past skiing ventures to Colorado, he developed an attraction for the Denver/Boulder area and pegged it "as a place where I wanted to live." He just didn't know how or when it might come to pass, hoping the move would come with a paycheck attached but also eyeing the state as a possible post-career destination.
Biggers, who is married (Robyn) and has two daughters (Peyton 10, Avery 7), was born in Ohio but moved to Florida at age 3 with his family. He remained in the South for his higher education, earning a BS in Business Administration Management from Appalachian State University in May 1994 and a Masters of Science, Sport Management, from Georgia Southern University in December 1995.
His previous work in collegiate athletics includes serving as a student assistant coach for the Appalachian State baseball team and as vice president of that school's men's club volleyball team, volunteering in sports media relations at Georgia Southern, and working as an event assistant for the Florida Citrus Bowl.
Biggers also worked as an operations/marketing assistant for the Orlando Predators (Arena Football). And while in Orlando, he served on the board of the Florida Children's Hospital and the Heart of Florida United Way Promotions Committee.
Biggers' most demanding professional challenge undoubtedly came in "The Big Easy." In his first year in New Orleans, the Hornets set a club record for their time in New Orleans for most sellouts in a season (2007-08), then broke that record the following season. But reaching and surpassing those marks wasn't easy.
When the Hornets returned to New Orleans after a two-year displacement to Oklahoma City following Hurricane Katrina, the season ticket base was fewer than 5,000. Biggers spearheaded drives that took season ticket sales to over 10,000 in 2008-09 - the largest increase in the NBA. He received the Hornets' "Coach of The Year" award in 2009, an acknowledgement from the team's senior executive peers given to the organizational leader who best exemplifies his/her team's mission and values.
Also under trying circumstances, the Hornets were challenged to reach the 10,000 season ticket mark again in 2011-12. The NBA was dealing with its work stoppage and the New Orleans franchise was seeking to secure local ownership, a long-term lease agreement with the state and was facing the imminent departure of star point guard Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers. Instrumental in that drive was the campaign "I'm In," which included a "100 Events In 100 Days" initiative and proved to be a surprising success in the community.
At first glance, Biggers said he foresees more "tweaks" than an "overhaul" at CU and has no illusions of reshaping a college sports entity into a professional sports franchise. The question he has been most frequently asking himself is, "What can we do new and different and efficiently to get Folsom Field and the Coors Events Center sold out?
"I'm excited to work with the people there and try and help get them where they want to go. This is a great time in the school's history. It's a tremendous opportunity and I feel so fortunate that it presented itself."

Post subject: Vampire Knight--Just WOW
I read a lightening review of that manga several months ago on a blog but I forgot all about it until a few weeks ago when I stumbled across the anime version of the story on the net.
Now, I'm not a fan of mangas. To me it's always been an awkward cross between a book and a movie. Something that I'd find difficult to read. I never understood the attraction...until now.
I watched all 13 episodes of the first season and I was hooked on the story. I could only find the japanese version with english subtitles. Not a dvd in sight yet. From what I understand it'll come out after the second season has aired and I for one will be all over it.
I bought all the tomes of the manga already available (they've been translated) and I've been reading and re-reading them regularly. The artwork is just gorgeous. The emotions just flow on the page.
To give you a short (well kind of short )synopsis.....
Yuuki is a prefect at the Cross Academy. She's the adopted daughter of the Chairman there. The Academy is unique in that it has both a Day Class and a Night Class. All the Night Class students are vampires, a thing that must be kept a secret. They've sworn not to drink the blood of humans but Yuuki and her best friend Zero patrol the grounds and act as Guardians to preserve the peace and harmony.
Yuuki's memory is faulty. She cannot remember anything that happened before her fifth birthday. The last thing she remembers is being attacked by a rogue vampire and then saved by Kaname, a mysterious pureblood vampire. A few years later Yuuki's adopted father brings home an injured boy: Zero. Yuuki and Zero are brought up together. They're very close.
Kaname has become the leader of the Night Class. He's a pacifist with an agenda of his own. He's older and more powerful that the others. Yuuki is infatuated with him but thinks he's out of her league. At the same time something's going on between her and Zero. She sees him as a friend but it's clear that he's got stronger feelings for her. Not to mention that something weird is happening to him and he's having troubles to cope.
Thus starts one of the best love triangles i've ever read about. For one thing I have absolutely no clue who Yuuki will end up with (the series isn't finished yet, it's about halfway through) and also, for the first time I find that I'd be okay with whomever she chooses. I don't really have a favorite. That's how great all of the characters are.
When the story opens it's very character driven. A "huit clos" as we say in French. But the story is gaining in scope with each new chapter. This isn't a mere vampire romance. We're starting to see more of the world outside the academy and all the mind and power games being played. Every one is pretty much grey here. This is not a sweet story, although there are some very funny scenes too.
This is marketed for older teens and adults but IMO this is more of an adult story even if most of the characters are in their late teens (they don't act like it actually, they seem much older). This is a story about vampires and the author shows us fangs and blood and death. It's much darker than Meyer's Twilight series for example, and much more intense. There's also a kind of subtle erotism in both the manga and the anime that's more suitable for adults. It's nothing blatant, in fact there's hasn't been any sex so far. It's all in the set up of the scenes, the movements.
I should also add that there's a kind of taboo that's heavily featured later in the manga (the anime hasn't gone this far yet). I can't reveal what it is because it's a huge spoiler. Seriously, I never saw it coming. It's better to discover it by yourself.
So I just wanted to post about this because I thought that it would be the cup of tea of many romance readers.
I hope it's okay if I post a few YouTube links to show you what it looks like.
*This is a music video of the Anime which showcases the love triangle:
*This is a Zero video which I like a lot. The emphasis is on the Zero/Yuuki Relationship here (I couldn't find a Kaname/Yuuki video that I liekd enough to link to though)
*And this is a short video which mixed the anime, manga and colored illustrations. It shows some of the amazing artwork done by the author of the manga (you'll see what I mean by subtle erotism in this video) so it's well worth a watch:
I'm hooked on Vampire Knight. The second season of the anime is debuting next month in Japan and I can't wait. Devoted fans post a subtitled version the episodes on YouTube as soon as they come out. You'll be able to find the episodes of the first season too if you're interested. The quality isn't the best but it's perfectly watchable. I hope the dvd will come out soon. I can't wait to watch it my bigger tv screen.
EDITED to add:
I just found another video I like. The song used is a longer and different version of the one in the link just above (it's called poison). It's got a good mix of action and romance and will give you a better idea of the series.:

Gail, the first season of the Anime isn't available anywhere on DVD with english subtitles yet. I think they're waiting until the second season has finished running in Japan until they market it for english speaking audiences.
You can find all the episodes, subbed, on YouTube. Each episode is 24 minutes long and is divided in two or three parts parts.
Here's the link to part one of the first episode:
You can buy the manga on Amazon, it's easily available. The Anime is very close to the Manga but there are a few differences of course. Some things were added and some things cut out. On the whole I think it's a great adaptation.

And another well done video I just found: it showcases the love triangle perfectly. The song used is Mr Brightside. A lot of the videos I found were made back in April when the Anime had just come out so the footage was still limited. This one was done a few weeks ago and has more varied scenes:

. I may just get my younger brother to download (and watch!) all available episodes when he gets back for Xmas. There are sites where you can get high-quality subs but it's beyond my technical abilities. He's our family anime/J-drama fanatic and I've been exposed to many a series through him. Plus I enjoy marathon viewing

Another great Anime is Paradise Kiss. I've read the Manga and got the movies from Netflix. It is about fashion and has a great bittersweet first love story.

The last anime series, if I recall correctly, that I devotedly watched and waited for the fansub to come out each week was Mushishi (2005-2006). Here's an
of the series (anime) on wiki (there is a spoiler under 'Characters').
The soundtrack by Toshio Masuda is lovely and IMO, suits the mood and colours. Some of my favourites:
(This is the soundtrack version of the ending theme of episode 1 and gets slightly 'waltz-ish' towards the end. The anime version is 'quieter' and partially accompanies a scene, also in ep.1, that still makes me smile albeit in nostalgic way.)
(The ending theme of episode 10, I believe)
One of the scenes that still stays with me until now is in episode 12 when Yoki chases after another character. There is something about the way the seiyu calls out 'Nui!' that Ive probably watched the scene more than five times)
I'm a bit behind on the manga though, and I hope to rectify that. Soon. *sigh*

I've heard good things about Vampire Knight from a number of sources...I sure hope it gets a US distributor and an English dubbed release soon (or at least an English subtitled release). These aren't good days for anime in the US (unlike about 5 years ago, when it was much more visible and available).
BTW, Mushishi is playing on the Funimation Channel now (I'm not sure which services carry it other than FIOS). The animation is quite nice, but I'm typically not all that drawn to series that are made up of stand-alone stories with little or no recurring characters.

The Lady Bison swim team hosted their Buffalo Pentathlon last Friday, with teams from Newcastle, Worland, Douglas as well as Buffalo at the meet.
A number of individual Bison had great performances.
In the 100 butterfly, Buffalo's Hannah Chapin took second, being beaten by less than a second by Carolyn Kennedy of Worland.
Buffalo's Caley Stafford took fourth and Misty Ballek took fifth.
X-COUNTRY - The Bronc and Lady Bronc cross country runners started their season at the Casper invitational last Friday, the Broncs had four varsity runners and did not qualify for the team race and the Lady Broncs raced JV in the first meet of the season, that will all change this week as Sheridan high school will host the Michelle Ludwig invitational.
Head Coach Art Bauers says their Pre-season went well and both teams are young and the opening race went well.
The Bison sports teams were in action over the weekend, and results were mixed.
The Lady Bison volleyball team was at the Douglas Invite and split their matches, going 2-2. Buffalo beat Cheyenne South in pool play 3-0 before losing to Douglas 1-2. In the tournament, the Lady Bison beat Newcastle and then lost to the eventual tournament champion Torrington.
Jenna Anderson and Kinzi Litzel led in attacking and blocking, and Sam Schroefel served 95% and had 86 assists for the tournament.
The girls will be at the Gillette Invite this Friday and Saturday.
The Buffalo High School Bison athletic teams had another busy weekend with all but the football team in action.
The Bison Golf Team was in the Bighorn Basin for the Powell/Cody Invite. The first round of the tournament was called early due to lightning, so the tournament was an 18-hole event. No Bison golfers finished in the top ten, and the boys team finished seventh out of 10 teams, the girls team finished tied for fourth.
FOOTBALL - The Sheridan Bronc football team beat Cheyenne Central 31-12 Friday night jumping out to a 14-0 halftime lead and building that lead to 31-6 entering the 4th quarter.
Senior running back Jordan Roberts ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in a Bronc uniform.
Quarterback Kevin Bakkehaug threw for 162 yards and two scores as the Broncs took the opener Head coach Don Julian.
Sheridan Broncs beat Cheyenne Central big 31-12.
FOOTBALL - The Sheridan Bronc football team opens the season tonight at Homer Scott stadium against Cheyenne Central.
We heard a little about the offense yesterday on the defensive side of the ball they must replace 10 of 11 starters Head coach Don Julian.
The Broncs dominated special teams last year returning eight kicks and punts for touchdowns and Julian says this fall again they will make special teams a big part of their success.

Showtime's "Inside the NFL" will premiere tonight at 9 p.m. ET and will feature local Apopka resident, Dennis Collins.
Why you ask?
Collins, a 57-year old estate planner, beat out more than 55,000 contestants in the annual Beat the Insiders competition, which rewards the most accurate NFL picks selection over the course of each season.
The winner receives an all expenses paid trip to the NFL Films headquarters in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey and is featured on the television show. For those who are interested, you can still register for this season's competition at www.beattheinsiders.com.
Collins finished in first place with 72 percent accuracy and a 192-75 record of picking the NFL winners. The show's hosts Cris Collinsworth finished in 29th place with a 185-82 record, Warren Sapp, an Apopka high school football alum, was 91st with a 182-85 record and Phil Simms tallied a 168-99 record to finish in 1,531 place. Ouch!
Since Collins has a knack for picking NFL winners, I asked him about his Super Bowl predictions to which he responded,
"You ready for this? It's going to be the same two teams."
New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts Part II.
It seems highly unlikely that both teams would repeat a Super Bowl appearance, but a part of me would love to see that rematch.
So who are your early Super Bowl team predictions sports fans? Let's hear them.

The Hollywood film industry has long used Utah for stunning movie backdrops. Think of the classic Southern Utah desert scenes in the opening of the third Indiana Jones installment or the wide open Utah roads where Thelma and Louise tried to escape the law. Remember the Utah County streets that Kevin Bacon dances all over in Footloose or the music ringing through the halls of Salt Lake City's East High School in High School Musical? But wait, these are all just locations used for Hollywood blockbusters. In the independent film scene, Utah has a very different face.
Utah is not just the host to film locations or to one of the most recognized film festivals in the world. It is also the place local talent calls home. The world stage and screens at this year's Sundance Film Festival will include the faces of people you might have seen on a Salt Lake or Park City street.
Among the anticipated national and international films are these local flicks featuring local talent that should not be missed.

The story follows a group of modern Austenites in their thirties who immerse themselves in the victorian world of Jane Austen while on vacation. Hess and Hale's comedic writing rivals Austen's in depicting the ups and downs of human relationships.

I live alone. These things happen. Your children grow up, your husband leaves, and then you are a household of one. This is a happy story, I promise, but I do need to say this: Get ready, ladies. You may be next. And if and when you are, please, please try to remember what I am telling you now. You know how you never have enough time? You will have it. The very thing, that precious, out-of-reach, gleaming pot of gold you have been longing for! You will even have time on your hands. If you are wise, you will see it as a gift. If you are like me, you will have to do some stumbling around to get there.
Like so much in life, this story is about dinner. Dinner was how I spent almost 30 years of my life—making dinner, serving dinner and eating dinner with my family. Slipping chopped carrots into the meat loaf so that vegetables would be represented in the meal. Guiding dinner table conversation so that it yielded something loftier than burp jokes. And then, after dinner, overseeing homework, making sure children went to bed at a decent hour. It was the life I had chosen, and I think I was good at it, and most of the time I loved it. So when this ritual ended, I was totally unprepared for the expanse of time it left behind. With a few exceptions, I hadn't spent an evening alone since my twenties. And now I had this huge hole where dinnertime used to be, this gaping Grand Canyon in which nothing was expected of me. Good Lord, what was I supposed to do?
At first, I couldn't shake the feeling, hardwired after all those years, that I should be home. The light would fade at dusk, and I'd think, I'm supposed to be home; I'd better get home before dark. I missed my children and wondered what they were having for dinner. They didn't ever call me to say, "Oh, Mommy, I really miss your dinners." I wondered, petulantly, why I hadn't just ordered takeout all those years, and I regretted every judgmental thought I'd had about mothers who'd done exactly that.
But even as I felt sorry for myself, I began to experience little thrills of freedom. When I remembered I had no reason to go home, I'd go to the movies instead, or to my favorite coffee shop for supper, and feel the way I imagine astronauts feel when they're weightless, floating out in space. I realized I had the thing that people, including me, constantly complain that they have none of: time. For decades, when a friend would call me on the phone in the evening and ask, "Do you have a minute?" I'd think, No, actually, I don't. Later tonight I may have a minute, after I finish dinner and get my children to bed, but I hope to be sleeping by then.
And now I had a minute. I had many minutes, entire evenings of minutes. I started to think of having time not as something to feel strange about but as a kind of gift that had been dropped in my lap. It seemed unbecoming, as my mother would say, not to enjoy the very thing I'd been longing for all these years. It seemed kind of asinine, in fact.
I made myself call friends I hadn't seen in so long, I'd forgotten the names of their children and husbands. "Is everything all right?" one college friend asked. "Did somebody die?" Some of them had gotten divorced or remarried since I'd seen them, some had had cancer and recovered, and I felt terrible that I hadn't known, but not one of them made me feel worse about it. I made dates to meet them for coffee and looked at pictures of their now-grown children on their cell phones and told them about mine. I visited friends who'd had operations and were stuck in bed. I tried to show up for people.
For many weeks I acted in a play, and after each performance I'd walk for a half hour or so before getting on the subway home. I loved those walks—decompressing, thinking about how the show went, feeling the freshness of the air after being in a closed theater for hours.

Common Cause
Utility boxes and street signs are the most popular targets of graffitists in Georgia's' Gwinnett County. Source: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful
Graffiti is best controlled when residents are encouraged to report it and volunteers help public works remove it. Though highly effective at removing just about any type of paint, pressure-washing should be limited to tough surfaces such as concrete and hard woods.
To keep taggers from making public surfaces such as viaducts (above) into a canvas, former St. Alberta, Canada, city engineer Dwayne Kalynchuk championed efforts both there and in Victoria, British Columbia (below), to create skate board parks that encourage graffiti. Photo below: Dwayne Kalynchuk
It's art, they say.
For four decades, graffitists (also called taggers, depending on what they're creating and the motive behind it) have used infrastructure as the canvas for showcasing their talents. It's art, they say; but the public calls it vandalism, and charges public works with managing the cycle of removal and reoccurrence.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that graffiti accounts for 35% of vandalism cases, and in some cities abatement costs taxpayers more than $3 million annually.
"No one knows nationally what the trend is, but public works departments and police understand the need to bring together a host of public and private entities to deal with it," says Conni Kunzler, a consultant for the Graffiti Hurts program of Keep America Beautiful. "It's not just about removal but also prevention, education, and enforcement."
Kunzler urges local officials to adopt a multifaceted approach that includes all affected parties, from public works and police to school districts and residents themselves. The program should include an efficient system for reporting "tags," tracking removal, and empowering residents to fight graffiti in their neighborhoods.
"People think that if you just pick one of those you have a good program," says Connie Wiggins, executive director of the nonprofit Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful (GCB) in suburban Gwinnett County, 15 miles northeast of Atlanta. "But an effective program includes education, eradication, enforcement, and evaluation.
"We coordinate anti-graffiti efforts with the public works departments, police, and community volunteers in 15 municipalities, the county government, school districts, and state highway department," she says. At about $250/incident, abatement isn't cheap. And it's one reason Wiggins says a hotline should be the first step in a plan of attack.
In Dallas, city departments must remove graffiti from public property under their jurisdiction within 48 hours. The streets department treats streets, sidewalks, guardrails, and bridges; the public works department oversees street signs, traffic control devices, and light poles. But crews repairing a sidewalk or replacing a street sign often don't spot graffiti nearby.
So residents are encouraged to call the city's 311 non-emergency hotline or to visit the city's Web site to report graffiti. The police department encourages residents to photograph graffiti for evaluation by the gang unit. Appropriate departments are notified immediately—the quicker the response, the less likely graffitists will repeat their actions at a site.
San Francisco's public works crews—which are dispatched within 48 hours of a complaint to the city's 311 hotline—work seven days a week to clean up streets and sidewalks. Last year, the city spent an estimated $3.2 million to remove graffiti from 30,000 locations and 800,000 square feet of surfaces.
Although paint choice and type vary by city, the bottom line is price. Because it's less expensive, easier to clean up, and dries quickly, latex paint is the choice of most graffiti-abatement programs, which rely on basic colors such as gray for concrete and brown for fences. Even so, some departments use oil-based paints, which are more durable and withstand solvents better than latex paints.

College Hockey:He Could Go All the Way
LEWISTON, N.Y. — The plot line of Sean Bentivoglio's career at Niagara reads like a page-turner — shift after shift, game after game, season after season, fans of the Purple Eagles are left wanting to see more of this dynamic forward.
In fact, it was that way from the very beginning. At a mere 17 years old, Bentivoglio chose Niagara after fielding interest from some ECACHL schools that wanted him to play another year of junior hockey. Niagara's close proximity to his parents home in Stoney Creek, Ont., cinched the deal.
"He was one of those rare players," Niagara head coach Dave Burkholder recalled of Bentivoglio's recruitment, "that you just couldn't take your eyes off him. His first three steps are so explosive. And with each season, he has added another level to his game. You don't always see players progress like that. He is very proud of his decision to come to Niagara, and in the end, he will go down as being one of the most important players in our program's history."
But perhaps the most exciting aspect of Bentivoglio's play this season has been the growing consensus that he has many more chapters to write in a hockey career that one day may climax in an appointment with the NHL.
"Now that's something I definitely don't want to comment on," Bentivoglio remarked, flustered at the very suggestion that his talents could lead him to the game's highest stage. "You don't see players coming out of the CHA and go directly to the NHL. If anything, I'll start at the bottom again (after graduation) and hopefully work my way up."
Bentivoglio, by nature, is reserved. He is the captain of the Purple Eagles, a role he inherited from Jason Williamson, who was vocal and commanding in the position.
But Bentivoglio has embraced his leadership role by accentuating a different methodology.
"I try and lead by example," Bentivoglio said. "We have a relatively young team, but we are very close. I let my play do the talking. Our goal is to get back to the NCAAs, which is something I experienced during my freshman year."
"I equate him to (Buffalo Sabres captain and former Boston University star) Chris Drury," Burkholder said. "His style of leadership is to produce on the ice, and no one works harder, in practice and in games, than Sean. He is a playmaker. He creates time and space for his linemates."
Bentivoglio's quick burst is the first thing that jumps out at you as you start to reflect on his play on Niagara's top line alongside Ted Cook and Les Reaney. As of this writing, the trio leads the nation in point production, but there are many other D-I players who possess Bentivoglio 's high-end speed.
Few, however, can match Bentivoglio's power on skates, which in the classic definition set forth by Alain Hache in his indispensable book The Physics of Hockey, refers to the rate at which a player accomplishes work (skating, shooting, passing, etc.), or better stated as: P = fv.
It is this simple equation that illustrates Bentivoglio's elite status . That power drove Bentivoglio to get repeated open looks at the opposition's net in his first two seasons, except that his shooting and scoring instincts hadn't quite caught up to his skating prowess.
Things started to change during his junior year, when Niagara's coaching staff made it a point of emphasis for Bentivoglio to shoot the puck.
"I guess I will always think of myself as a player that passes first," Bentivoglio said. "The coaches really worked with me, and kept on me, to shoot. I was fortunate to play with some older guys like Joe Tallari and Barrett Ehgoetz when I first came here. Now I have Cookie (Ted Cook) and Les (Reaney). We just seem to click."
"Click" is an understatement.
"First of all, they (Bentivoglio, Cook and Reaney) have great hockey sense," Bemidji State head coach Tom Serratore said. "Second, they never turn their back on the puck. Third, they have the two big strong guys in Cook and Reaney.
"And Bentivoglio is the dynamic guy who makes things happen. He just might be the best all-around player in our league, and he seems to have what it takes to play at the next level."
For now, though, the next level for Bentivoglio is as close as the next practice, or the next dry-land training session, or any of the other team activities that play out on a daily basis in a bruising season of Division I hockey.
Bentivoglio realizes that time is short. CHA teams battle each other with the ferocity of the Hatfields and the McCoys for that one opportunity to move on in March. Bentivoglio has been through the process three times before.
With each game the plot thickens, the unexpected astonishes — a bounce here and a bounce there — and to the victor, as has been written, belong the spoils.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mantle61 Augustus Ladder, adds to the office decor The ladder will come in handy with the tall Augustus bookshelf and adds to the room decor. November 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sugarysoul Not just decorative, can actually be used with the Augustus shelving This ladder is not heavy, but surprisingly strong. It can only be used with the Augustus bookcase (not meant as a freestanding ladder). I am happy with it and recommend it. I waited for the 25% off for friends and family sale, which I also recommend, which made it a good price for a quality item. June 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by stacey24 Looks cool The ladder looks great with the shelving unit I purchased with it. Both were wonderful additions to our study August 8, 2013

text: Schleiermacher (1768 – 1834) was the most important Protestant theologian to appear after the Reformers. He is also the most misunderstood. His work helped spark the movement of 'liberalism.' Yet, the movement turned away from basic insights of its progenitor. Why? This course investigates this question from Schleiermacher's perspective (via text-based analysis of some of his major theological works) and from the perspective of his critics. His texts on religion, Christ, humanity, and the relation of Christianity to modernity still speak today. Close readings of selected texts by Schleiermacher will be complemented by discussion of his life and times, and student research on his critics. Prerequisite: T-300

Where to begin. While the concept described in this article will seem reasonable to many at first glance, this is a very dangerous idea in my opinion. Do we really want a national database of all public school children from K-12? Even if the database only stored basic information like math and reading abilities I would still be against it, but this goes much, much further than that. In some cases the database will cover "student hobbies, career goals and attitudes toward school." So I suppose whatever Facebook fails to capture, this thing will. Just think about the potential for future abuse. What if someone in the Federal government down the road wants to be able to identify disobedient children from an early age and track them. If they have a "negative attitude" toward the public school system will they be flagged as "undesirable" at a young age? What a potential Orwellian nightmare this could become. From Reuters:
(Reuters) – An education technology conference this week in Austin, Texas, will clang with bells and whistles as startups eagerly show off their latest wares.
But the most influential new product may be the least flashy: a $100 million database built to chart the academic paths of public school students from kindergarten through high school.
In operation just three months, the database already holds files on millions of children identified by name, address and sometimes social security number. Learning disabilities are documented, test scores recorded, attendance noted. In some cases, the database tracks student hobbies, career goals, attitudes toward school – even homework completion.
Local education officials retain legal control over their students' information. But federal law allows them to share files in their portion of the database with private companies selling educational products and services.

Flora's adoption is in progress!
Flora and a sister lived under an old house in Palo Alto, but when their momma cat disappeared, a tenant called for help. Despite her wild childhood, Flora has given herself over to the ways of humans, and has become quite a people-oriented cat. She goes limp with happiness and fills the room with purrs when you pick her up or pet her. Flora is not shy about telling you what she likes; she will give gentle head butts on your hand or arm if she thinks she isn't getting enough petting! She will stay in your arms or lap forever, and simply loves to cuddle. Several people have commented that this relaxed behavior is similar to that of Ragdoll cats. Flora will even tolerate people who put silly headgear on her! After living in the dirt under a building, she thinks playing dress-up is great fun!
Playtime has some funny quirks, too. Flora prefers to play with the stick end of feather toys, rather than the feather itself, and she alternately cuddles with and drowns her tiny toy mouse. When she is not wearing that floral hair scrunchy, Flora finds it a fun toy to toss around. And she loves a big scratching post and a perch to keep a close eye on the squirrels and birds that hang around outside her windows.
The Fine Print — While Community Cat Rescue would love to make our adoptable cats and kittens available to everyone, everywhere, we must limit our adoption service area to San Francisco Peninsula cities and towns. We simply do not have the volunteer-power or financial resources to make home visits (required for all adoptions), delivery of adopted cats/kittens and follow-up visits outside the Peninsula. An occasional, rare exception might be made, but it is not the rule.
THE FINE PRINT – Adoptions limited to Peninsula locations. Exceptions possible.

Chocolate promises pure pleasure. Yet the ingredients of our chocolate are actually quite mundane: cocoa, sugar and other ingredients such as milk products or nuts. The higher the percentage of cocoa, the more expensive and precious the chocolate is. Our dark chocolate, for example, has a cocoa percentage of at least 50%.
But pleasure is not the only important factor: science also recognises the positive effect of chocolate on our health. At a symposium of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in February 2000 in Washington, nutritionists confirmed that the cocoa contained in chocolate reduces the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

From MORE'S 2008 package on politicians who cheat. Darling, if you're going to run, please read this first!
The last prominent free-love candidate for president of the United States was a feminist, Victoria Woodhull, who ran—and lost—in 1872. Times may have changed, but in America there is still no free love for candidates.
If you are running for high office yourself, don't worry. However qualified you are, you'll be too busy trying to prove your competence on one hand and your unthreatening femininity on the other to even think about sex.
However, if your husband plans to run, an ounce of prevention may help you avoid a Silda Wall Spitzer moment in the spotlight. Slip the following position paper (no pun intended) into the case of any adult video or DVD in his sock drawer and he'll be sure to get the message.
Dear Candidate:
Congratulations on announcing, and good luck with your campaign! Please note that from today on, your _______ (fill in appropriate member nickname; for example, willie, weenie boy, pajawa, snoopy-dog) now belongs to the people of the United States.
Governing our great country can be stressful, but it is also lots of fun, so you shouldn't need any extra fun involving an exchange of DNA with interns, hookers, troopers, bundlers, pages, models, masseurs, burlesque artists, Mafia molls, blonde lobbyists, videographers, political groupies or anyone with 38DDD breast implants who is also named Fanne. (In case you're too young to know: Fanne Foxe, the self-described Tidal Basin Bombshell, helped bring down Congressman Wilbur D. Mills in 1974.)
If you still feel the need, just remember that there will come a time when no one will remember who you were or care what you do—not even the vice squad at the Minneapolis airport—and you will be able to cheat on your wife with impunity (unless she is running for your former office).
The good news is that whatever takes place in your conjugal bed is nobody's business, unless you make kinky demands that cause your spouse to freak out and a judge to unseal your divorce papers. (Perhaps you remember Jack Ryan, the ultraconservative Republican from Illinois. He thought some hot, public sex in a swingers' club with his reluctant wife, the lovely actress Jeri Ryan, qualified as a "romantic getaway." Voters disagreed; they elected Barack Obama.)
What if you have that one-in-a-million marriage from which the sizzle has long since evaporated? Discreet self-gratification is your safest option. But many candidates do not appear to have learned the lesson that self-gratification means just that: you and pajawa. It does not include any helpers under your desk! Bill Clinton's Oval Office gratification with Monica was ultimately most gratifying to supporters of George W. Bush.
We know how hard you have been working for the country and that you firmly believe public service is its own reward (apart from the travel junkets, housing and other perks, the constant ego massage, the health and pension benefits your constituents can only dream of, the huge lecture and consulting fees once you retire, and the aura of invincibility that makes power such an aphrodisiac).
And yes, it's a shame that you cannot, under any circumstances, however twisted your narcissistic rationale, exploit your exalted position to get a little nookie on the side. But remember where you went into politics. Hint: It isn't the State of Denial.

ZF-4764: Zend_Server_Abstract changed breaking backwards compability
Why did the Zend_Server_Abstract have to change? I know this is part of performance issue fixing, but this shouldn't change the backwards compability of the abstract class!
Rather create a new Abstract class that inherits from the old one.
additionally the change also removed that strange lower() static function in the abstract class which is not used by any Zend component anymore but nevertheless COULD be used by a 3rd party. It has to readded to the class until 2.0 for BC reasons!
I will re-instate the missing public methods to Zend_Server_Abstract. However, a couple of notes:
- Prior to the recent refactoring, the only class that extended it from within ZF was Zend_Rest_Server. All functionality present in it was specific to that implementation.
- The currently coded functionality actually is shared now, between both the XmlRpc and Json server implementations. I plan to refactor Zend_Rest_Server to make use of it in the future
- All old methods and properties that have been removed will be marked as deprecated, and the methods will now trigger an error (E_USER_NOTICE) noting this.
Honestly, I've heard of nobody building on Zend_Server_Abstract, and I suspect it's because it simply had no value previously.
BTW, the new implementation offers the ability to create Zend_Server_Definition objects -- which make it trivial to perform the actual implementation of servers, as well as to share server definitions between different protocols.
I havent heard of anyone building on Zend_Server_Abstract either.
Due to no obvious reason Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover extends Zend_Server_Abstract. I want to change that but will wait for the 2.0 release to make that BC change.
$magic_methods protected member and lowerCase() static method re-added as of r12300, but marked as deprecated.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

March is Social Work Month, a time to recognize and honor those social workers who help make a big difference in so many lives.
At Catholic Charities we are fortunate to have great leaders dedicated to the providing hope to New Yorker's in need.
Today, in this final week of Social Work Month, we invite you to meet another of our case workers, learn what she does and find out why she finds her career rewarding.
Deb Presti, LCSW – Director of Catholic Charities Case Management
Q: How long have you worked in social work?
A: 35 years
Q: What does Social Work mean to you?
A: Social Work means an ability to look at individuals in need (whatever that need might be) through a non-judgmental lens. It is about being able to create an ambience of warmth and acceptance so that individuals feel safe to tell you their story, not just the story they believe they ought to tell, but the one they believe they need to conceal. This concealment is usually from others first, but often from themselves.
It is helping people cope with extraordinarily difficult circumstances that life delivers and being able to make the necessary adjustments (if possible) in order to successfully cope. Social Work assumes that we all function within a complex bio-psychosocial sphere, meaning our own psychology, social and familial circumstances, biology, and our spot in the world.
This is why I love it. No one gets pigeon holed. Everyone is understood through that complex lens and so the helping should take place in consideration of all of those factors.
There are many who are not social workers who have this natural inclination, but there is no other field that makes it its priority, teaches it, and helps refine skills around it.
It is also extremely compatible with Catholic Social Teachings despite that it can be viewed as secular Social Justice.
Social work is my life as much as my family is my life.
Q: What do you like most about your career?
A: Well, it suits me –who I was as a little girl, and who I have always been. I am grateful that I was never pushed to be something other than what I was deep inside from early on.
I had an epiphany when I was about 55 years old, that the seeds were planted in me by the sisters in my school as well as my parents. My father was the first social worker I ever met (although he was actually an electrician, he was what one might call a "do-gooder.")
So what I am trying to say is that I am very grateful that my path to be myself in my career was an easy one. I am doing what I was set to do…and few people can make that claim.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
It is normal for adolescents to develop some fears during the course of their development. Over time, normal fears fade as children learn more about what to expect from their environment and relationships with others. When their fears do not fade and begin to interfere with the child or adolescent's daily life and activities, an anxiety disorder may be present.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problems that occur in children and adolescents. As many as 13 percent of children between the ages of 9 and 17 years old are reported to have an anxiety disorder.
There are many different anxiety disorders that affect adolescents that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.
