The New York Yankees on Sunday announced that they had designated former Cub Alfonso Soriano for assignment, which means they have 10 days to trade, release, or place him on waivers. His average had dropped to .221 this season, and his power numbers were really down with only six homers and 23 RBI in 67 games. He had been sharing right field with Ichiro Suzuki, meaning he was only playing against lefties, and had been struggling in the field too.
The move though according to Manager, Joe Girardi, was made because the team needed pitching help. "We designated Soriano, which is extremely difficult because he's been a great Yankee and been a great player," Girardi said. "We felt we needed some more pitching today, so we called up (Bruce) Billings. Bullpen has been extremely taxed."
The Yankees signed Soriano as a free agent in 1998, and he was called up to the team in 1999. He played for five seasons at second base and finished third in Rookie of the year honors in 2001, while helping the team reach the World Series. In 2004, the team traded him to the Texas Rangers for Alex Rodriguez. He put up some good offensive numbers there, but was traded to the Washington Nationals on December 7, 2005, because Texas had Ian Kinsler coming up at the time and Soriano was going to be a free agent at the end of the 2006 season anyway. Once in Washington, Soriano was asked by then Manager, Frank Robinson, to play left field because the team had at the time Jose Vidro at second, and Soriano wasn't that great on defense there. He refused to do so at first and the team threatened to disqualify him, which would have meant he had to forfeit his salary and upcoming free agency. So, he played where they wanted him, and he became the fourth player in MLB history to have 40 homers, and 40 stolen bases in one season.
The Cubs were coming off a 66-96 2006 season, and they had fired Manager, Dusty Baker, then hired Lou Pinella to replace him. The Chicago Tribune, who owned the team at the time, gave then General Manager, Jim Hendry, a checkbook and told him more or less go spend some money to help improve the team. One of his signings was Soriano, and Pinella put him in left field after a tiny experiment of putting him in center field failed when he suffered a hamstring injury. While with the Cubs, he had some good years, and helped lead them to back to back division titles in 2007 and 2008. However, the team was in the middle of a rebuilding project and under new owners, so he was traded last season back to the Yankees for a minor league pitcher. He promptly hit 17 homers, and 50 RBIs in 58 games. The Cubs agreed to pay $13 million of his $18 million salary, and the Yankees the other five.
Right now he doesn't know if he's going to retire or wait for another team to sign him. Good luck to him on whatever is in his future.

This year will bring a lot of action on every level from cities, counties, the state and federal arenas.
Every election is important and needs careful consideration, but often voters sit back and let other people do the work. In Oregon it is difficult to find an excuse to not cast a ballot because they are mailed to registered voters and can be mailed in or dropped at a number of convenient ballot box locations. Few people will disagree that our political bodies are in a mess.
At the City level, City Councils are regaled with the tasks of keeping communities safe, while struggling to maintain services without sufficient revenues. Whether it is Pit Bull dogs, smoking in the parks, or medical marijuana, or zoning issues, council members must make decisions and the voters must elect those council members. Some of the City issues will show up on the voter's ballots.
At the County level, the County Commissioners who are elected are forced to make difficult decisions as well. One measure that will show up in Jackson County this election is concerning GMO seeds. It is an emotional issue not backed by a lot of scientific fact, but people deserve to make their preferences known with the ballot. Dennis Richardson, State representative who is running for Governor has voted for the issue to be a State decision because he is certain it will reach the courts and in his opinion Oregon Counties do not have sufficient revenue to engage in costly court cases, therefore the State of Oregon should take on that responsibility.
That is one of the State issues that deserve attention from the voters. Dennis Richardson has served Southern Oregon well. His bid for Governor will only succeed if Southern Oregon voters turn out in big numbers to counter the overwhelming number of voters in the Northern part of the state. Then there is the attempt to unseat State Senator Alan Bates.
On the federal level, Senators Wyden and Merkley are challenged to represent Oregon interests. Critics say they don't do enough. Challengers will be stepping up to see if they can do better. Congressman Greg Walden comes under scrutiny in the House.
The individual voter is the only way to make the changes that need to be made and to assure that government at all levels reflects the views of the citizens.

48-Hours of Caffeine, Adrenaline & Filmmaking!
In the spirit of other "insomnia" film contests, The CWU 48-Hour Film Slam's mission is to provide student filmmakers an opportunity to test their mettle in a crucible of 48 hours of sleep deprevation, adrenaline and caffeine fueled creativity! The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the student filmmakers—emphasizing creativity and teamwork skills. While the time limit places an unusual restriction on the student filmmakers, it is also liberating by putting the emphasis on "doing" instead of "studying" or "talking about" filmmaking.
Thus, participating teams have just one weekend to make a short film. All creative work—writing, rehearsals, costume, set design, shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack—must occur in a 48-hour window beginning Friday evening at 5:15 PM and ending Sunday at 5:15 PM. At 8 PM Sunday, the completed films are screened to a panel of judges and an eager audience!
A panel of individuals drawn from the faculty of Film & Video Studies, Theatre and English, and one member from the Ellensburg community will judge the submissions. Judges base their decisions on the following criteria—creativity (40%), technical merit (30%), and adherence to the assigned Genre, Required Elements & Official Rules (30%). Awards will be given in the following categories—Best Screenplay, Best Directing, and Best Technical (cinematography & editing). Audience awards will be given for Best Performance and Best Picture as determined by an audience ballot at the time of screening.
The Third Annual 48-Hour Film Slam took place February 25-27, 2011 with a free screening of all entries on Sunday, 27th at 8 p.m. in McConnell Auditorium. At the manditory rules, genre and equipment meeting on February 25th at 5 p.m. in the Communication Department Lobby the following requried elements were drawn: character = "Casandera," occupation = "Store Clerk," and the required prop = "rake."
The theme for this year's competition was, "It was beauty that killed the beast," and was required to be used in each entry as a required line of dialogue.
Competition was pretty strong between the seven (7) teams competing and each turned in wonderfully original films... However, in the end, the judges and audiences made their choices for those deserving of special recognition. Below are the winning entries selected by our panels of judges and voted for by an inthusastic audience of nearly 200 individuals!
The Rakist (Horror— Best Directing & Best of Festival) A rake in the dark!
The Calamity of Captain Striker (Super Hero— Best Performances) Sometimes hope comes in the form of a lazer beam to the chest.
Wasteland Warriors (Disaster— Best Script) Neighbors Cole & Ben set off to survive in a post-apocalyptic world of savages.
C-Complex (Survival— Best Technical) A young girl is haunted by her past and deadly visions she can't shake.
The Second Annual 48-Hour Film Slam took place February 26-28, 2010 with eight (8) teams competing. At the manditory rules, genre and equipment meeting in the Communication Department Lobby the teams drew their required genres and the following required elements were drawn: character = "Jane, a stay at home parent" and prop = "crowbar."
The theme (& required line of dialogue!) was, "Who are those guys?"
Below are the winners selected by our panel of judges &/or as voted by an appreciative audience of nearly 150 individuals.
This year, the judges also chose to give three (3) Special Jury awards: "Best Actress" to Brianne Walker in Down the Drain, "Best Actor" to Jimmy-Dean Candella in Dude, Sean Got SHOT! and "Most Visually Compelling Scene" to Jeff Knight, Cinematographer for Down the Drain.
To view the winning films, roll your mouse over the "box" and click the play icon!
Dude, Sean Got SHOT! (Road Film— Best Screenplay, Best Peformances, Best Directing, Best of Festival) Three friends flee after a bank robbery gone bad.
The Puddle Jumper (Fantasy — Best Technical) A man is trapped in an alternate dimension and chased by unknown figures.
The inaugural year of the 48-Hour Film Slam required participants to include a character named "Max" who was the "Mayor" and a "neck tie" had to be included as a prop. The four (4) teams then drew genres from a hat (ok, a small box) and after a quick review of the rules, the clock was ticking!
Below are the winners selected by our panel of judges &/or as voted by an appreciative audience of over 100 individuals.

Sometimes college students can get bogged down with studying, studying, and more studying so when someone gives you free food and a chance to decompress, all while helping others, you jump on it! That's exactly what the Student Leadership Council at Columbus Technical College did at the end of Summer semester. On July 30, the SLC sponsored a "Summer Release Cook-Out" complete with hot dogs and hamburgers with chips and drinks, music, a chance for students, faculty, and staff to fellowship with one another and even a way to give back.
"We just want to create a venue for student interaction and to help them connect with faculty and staff," said Ken Lockhart, director of student activities. "It's really just to have fun and hang out."
Computer Support Specialist student and mother of four, Tscharner Love, really enjoyed the get-together.
"It just let's us know we're appreciated," Love said. "We worked hard all semster and its nice to blow off a little steam."This is Love's second time as a Columbus Technical College student. She said when she was here in the -mid 2000's, the atmoshpere was much different.
"This is a big change. They do things for us students all the time now and we really appreicate it. It makes us feel like we're not just coming to class and going home. There's a lot of fun stuff to do," she smiled.
Doing something for others is also fun and rewarding. The Student Leadership Council sponsored a school supply drive to concide with the cook-out. Items collected benefit the mothers and children living at Hope Harbor — a Columbus shelter for victims of domestic abuse. All together, 14 packs of paper, 84 packages of pens and pencils, 16 glue sticks, three bottles of glue, 13 folders, 21 spiral notebooks, six rulers, nine boxes of crayons, four boxes/packages each of colored pencils, highlighters, notecards, paper clips, and one ABC tablet were taken to Hope Harbor.
There are still a few days of rest and relaxation ahead for the students; Fall semester starts on Aug. 20th.
If you or someone you know would like to be part of this fun learning environment, it's not too late! Late registration is available from August 19-22, 2013 just email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

The Fresno State women's basketball team is set to host Boise State on Saturday in its first home league game of the season, as the Broncos and Bulldogs will play at 2 p.m. inside the Save Mart Center.
Fresno State has won nine-straight games over Boise State, as the two schools were previously WAC foes from 2001-11 before renewing the conference rivalry last season when the 'Dogs joined the Mountain West.
The Bulldogs opened up Mountain West play on New Year's Day with a 79-63 win at UNLV. Four of Fresno State's five starters scored in double figures in that game with Alex Sheedy (20 points) and Bree Farley (15 points) leading the way.
Fresno State forced UNLV into 25 turnovers and had 15 steals in the win. Last season in three wins over Boise State, the Bulldogs forced the Broncos to turn the ball over 23 times per game. In the quarterfinal victory over Boise State in last season's Mountain West Tournament, Fresno State set a tournament record by forcing Boise State to turn the ball over 29 times.
For Boise State, this will be its Mountain West opener as the Broncos did not play on Wednesday when league play began. They are entering the game coming off a 66-64 win over Cal State Fullerton in Boise that snapped a three-game losing streak.
Both Fresno State and Boise State have four players scoring in double figures this season.
Miquelle Askew leads Boise State with 15.2 points per game while Taylor Thompson is the Bulldogs' top scorer at 12.2 points per game.
Bulldog Headlines
► This will be the 30th all-time meeting between the two schools. Fresno State leads the all-time series 20-9 and won all three contests vs. Boise State last season, including a 72-55 win to open the 2013 Reese's Mountain West Tournament.
► Senior guard Taylor Thompson is closing in on a couple career milestones. She needs six more steals to become Fresno State's all-time leader in career steals and 32 points to become the 20th Bulldog in school history to score 1,000 points in a career.
► Fresno State shot a season-high 50.9 percent in Wednesday's victory to open Mountain West play. The Bulldogs were shooting just 37.7 percent entering that contest. Last season, Fresno State shot just 38.8 percent in non-conference play but 43.2 percent in league play.

Majdi Mohammed, Associated Press
DEIR JARIR, West Bank — Facing a classroom of Palestinian 10th graders, Hebrew teacher Esmat Mansour asks his students who is for and against learning the language. A few raise their hands in favor, others against and he asks both sides to explain.
Mansour believes such debates will help motivate young Palestinians to study Israel's dominant language. They need to know Hebrew to be able to deal with the Israeli occupiers, but also to build bridges in the future, he says.
The 37 year old's view of the conflict with Israel is the product of a violent past, as he at 16 helped three older teens stab to death an Israeli man in 1993. Mansour was sentenced to 22 years as an accomplice in the killing of 30-year-old Haim Mizrahi, and was granted early release last year, along with dozens of other long-held prisoners, in a deal brokered by the United States.
Now free, Mansour's new life comes as Mideast peace talks falter. Mansour said he has no regrets, but also that he would never take another life.
"The most important thing is to ... value all human life and to learn tolerance," he said. Then, "we were very young, the political situation was different, we were very much zealots."
To many Israelis, such words ring hollow. They view Mansour and other Palestinians who killed Israelis in politically motivated attacks as terrorists who should remain behind bars.
Mizrahi's brother Itzik, 32, said the released prisoners are able to rebuild their lives, while the families of their victims suffer. "We remain without my brother," he said. "Only we have missed out, only my brother has missed out." Mizrahi's wife was pregnant at the time, and his daughter Tehila is now 20.
Palestinians say such killings came in the context of a decades-old conflict, and that a refusal to release Palestinian prisoners raises doubts about Israel's willingness to move toward peace.
It's no surprise that the emotionally charged disagreements over blame and forgiveness last week triggered the worst crisis between the sides since U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry helped restart negotiations last summer.
As part of the terms for resuming talks, Israel had promised to release 104 long-held Palestinian prisoners such as Mansour in four installments — while the Palestinians said they would suspend efforts to seek further international recognition for a "state of Palestine."
Israel failed to free the final group on time. The Palestinians responded by signing up "Palestine," recognized in 2012 by the U.N. General Assembly, for 15 international conventions. Israel then canceled the final prisoner release.
Mansour was in the first group that was released in August.
On the last day in prison, agents from Israel's Shin Bet security service met with each of the 26 inmates slated for release and handed them maps of home districts they were not allowed to leave for a year. An agent showed Mansour a satellite image of his village of Deir Jarir, pointed to Mansour's family house and said he would be monitored at all times.
Mansour's family celebrated his release by slaughtering 25 goats. But once the celebrations were over, Mansour had to learn how to drive and navigate the Internet.
But he had no financial worries. In a typical homecoming package, the Palestinian self-rule government gave him $50,000, the rank of colonel and a monthly stipend of 6,000 shekels ($1,725), a higher-than-average income. Mansour also got engaged in December to a 23-year-old university student from Deir Jarir and their wedding is planned for August.
Still, Mansour said it took time to find his bearings.

There are so many stakeholders in the Allied Arts community: the Woodside-Atherton Auxiliary members (now Allied Arts Auxiliary) who must be sick of seeing their name associated with the failure of their organization's plans for the future; the individuals who contributed millions of dollars to the restoration of the complex who now see their investment being squandered on the site, with no benefit to the Children's Hospital; the Children's Hospital which has lost the hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue from the Palo Alto Auxiliary-run restaurant, is about to lose more money from the Allied Arts Auxiliary's contributions, and must also be sick of seeing one of its auxiliary's name associated with failure; the Allied Arts neighbors who now have no idea what to expect from the owners of Allied Arts in terms of the site's future; and the Menlo Park community, which is about to lose one of its most treasured historic icons.
Why isn't anyone doing something! Why doesn't the Allied Arts Auxiliary dump its current president and leadership, get new officers, and try to save their site while there's still time? Why don't the major contributors to the restoration demand answers from the auxiliary regarding the mismanagement of the site, which has devalued their investment in benefiting the Hospital? Why doesn't the Children's Hospital make some effort to influence the auxiliary towards better management of their resources? Why isn't the media seeking answers to the many questions surrounding Allied Arts and keeping the community informed of the problems and what's being done to correct them? Why don't the neighbors seek city government involvement in addressing the problems affecting their neighborhood? Why isn't the community incensed at the possible lost of a valued historic site?
Why has no one from the Allied Arts Auxiliary given the community a credible explanation as to what's going on? If there are problems, maybe the community can help.
Why isn't anyone doing something!

The Bible states that the poor will always be among us (Deuteronomy 15:11). Could you be among them? Are you among them? Have you ever had to pray that food be avaiable - instead of praying thanks for what you are about to eat? As an anorexic teenager, My ribs protruded. I weighed as much as a child half my age. There were days when my intestines felt as if they were being held by a wrench.
Today I met another homeless person during my travels. Have you ever seen the struggle of another person and thought, "Were it not for the grace of God, I could be in this person's situation?" Maybe it is God who has spared you from starvation, or from Cancer, as was Mr. Robinson. Maybe it is God who spared you from that car accident that almost happened, or did happen and you walked away from it unharmed. Have compassion therfore.
Matthew 25:34-40 KJV
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
June is National Hunger Awareness Month. With June 2010 approaching, it is not too early to be a "good neighbor" to persons in need in your community.

With our revolutionary New Active Strap Technology (N.A.S.T.Y.), the strap automatically lifts up when you open the reclining hiback and actively tightens again when you close the hiback. N.A.S.T.Y. reduces friction and creates more room so that getting in and out of your bindings is faster and easier than ever.
ORIGINAL RECLINING HIBACK The fully flat reclining hiback is a pivotal part for the fastest SpeedEntry.
POWER TRIANGLE The steel cable creates a structural triangular geometry for optimal energy transfer from hiback to baseplate.
MODBACK HIBACKS These modular hibacks separate the lower and upper zones, using a strong and reliable Aluminum alloy heelcup, which on the NX2-Series also automatically triggers N.A.S.T.Y. The upper zone uses independently adjustable SupportPanels with model-specific shapes and flexes to deliver fine-tuned performance.
BANKBEDS BankBeds are full-length EVA footbed with 2.5 degree canting and adjustable toe-ramp optimized fit, support and energy transfer.
APEX.6 Is a more freestyle oriented SupportPanel made from our softer urethane.6-blend with asymmetrical medial support and lateral freedom.
HYBRID POWERCAPSTRAP A revolutionary hybrid between Flow's SpeedEntry convenience and conventional 2-strap SideEntry, merging the best of both. Responsive and unrestricted, the toe-cap delivers perfect boot positioning every time you kick in.
LSR BUCKLES These innovative LockingSlapRatchet-buckles give you the option to easily get in and out of your bindings any which way you like, whether SpeedEntry or SideEntry. You can slap them open with the large ratchet levers, make on-the-fly buttery smooth adjustments or simply lock them down with the lock/release lever.
ROCKERED BASEPLATES All of Flow's baseplates are uniquely engineered to transmit energy directly to the board without a loss of efficiency or natural board feel. The minimized contact area with the board channels your power where it needs to go, while the rocker corners of the baseplate allow any type of board to maintain optimal flex.
OCKUSH BASEPADS These basepads with a pop-through cushioning dampens landings, absorbs chatter and fits perfectly to the rockered baseplate shape for efficient energy transfer.

Stoked with these bindings
What I've often found in the past is that my binding has let me down. I thought I'd tried out this Flow binding on a mate's thumbs-up – and I was impressed. I found it extremely lightweight, but at the same time strong enough to keep my feet secure. Won't look back now!

European Commission promotes gender mainstreaming in the Structural Funds
Social Affairs, Public Management, Local development,
Best practice examples include a Gender Institute in Sachsen-Anhalt (Germany), pre-school care facilities in Kent (UK) and a micro-credit scheme for female entrepreneurs in Finland. The Commission has organised the third High Level Group on Gender mainstreaming on the 25th of May, 2005, following the two previous meetings in June and November 2004. The members of the Group are high-level officials from the Managing Authorities of the 25 Member States of the European Union, plus from Romania and Bulgaria as observers. The action of the High Level Group is based on the Commission Communication on the "Implementation of gender mainstreaming in the Structural Funds programming documents 2000 – 2006" adopted on 20 December 2002 (COM (2002)748final). The High Level Group contributes to the development of tools and mechanisms to integrate the gender dimension at every stage of the regional and cohesion policy process. It acts as a network to give input on gender mainstreaming to the authorities managing the Structural Funds. Meeting on a bi-annual basis, it is geared to build a stronger partnership, to consult informally on related issues and to share best practices. Among best practices, in Sachsen-Anhalt (Germany), a Gender Institute was set up. The role of the Gender Institute is to improve the level of training, encourage entrepreneurship, and provide equal access to the labour market for women and men. In Kent (United-Kingdom), a new pre-school will be opened in the local community centre in order to provide community based services and facilities, such as childcare. Other practical examples, including a micro-credit scheme for female entrepreneurs in Finland, has been presented during the meeting. Background: Gender mainstreaming is not limited to measures to help women, but encompasses the respective positions of men and women in a wider gender perspective. It aims at overcoming the structural inequalities in the organisation of working and family life, which constrain the participation of many women in the labour market and in public life. Structural funds constitute traditionally an important catalyst for community and national policies in favour of gender equality. Thus they are in line with their objective to reduce development disparities and promote the socio-economic cohesion of the European Union. Growth, competitiveness and employment can only be achieved through the fullest mobilisation of all citizens, male and female.

Good morning Guru's! - Have the following senario & need assistance on how to set it up in configuration.
Sales BOM created for material A with component B. Both A & B are batched managed. When exploded in the sales order and associated delivery, would like the pricing to be based on the material A, with all shipping & legal papers to reflect material A. Would like to releive inventory of material B as there is no inventory of material A.
Was hoping someone could assist and point me the right direction as I am a PP guy and not a SD person. I now enough about LUMF, ERLA and NORM just to get myself in trouble.
Hi Steve,
For the pricing at item level... you need to active pricing for the item category of the item and de-activate at header level item category config.
for inventory checking at item level only, i need to check the system..right now, not in front of the system.
To get Pricing at Main Item Level , maintain Item category Group at Material Master of main Item as "ERLA" and for sub-items ,item Categroy Group should be NORM.In that case ,in the sales order,main Item would have "TAQ" (with Pricing) & Sub-item would have "TAE" (without Pricing) as Item category.
Check the Customizing of Item category "TAQ" & "TAE" in VOV7.
Best Regards,
Thanks for the info, but I am still missing something. Here is what I tested -
TAE config u2013 no change ) no sturcture scope
TAQ config, updated structure scope = A, application = SD01
Bom component material master updated to item category = NORM
Bom headermateiral master updated to item category = ERLA
Created new sales order/item category group in IMG. ZDOR/ERLA (which is a copy of ZDOR/NORM and added TAQ, Updated ZDOR/NORM and added TAE.
Created ZDOR Domestic Sales order = 6898
Associated Delv = 80009450
No-GO - No materials listed during picking process. ( I would like to be able to pick material component inventory here).
Combination should be ZDOR + ERLA + BLANK + BLANK = TAQ
ZDOR + ERLA + BLANK + TAQ = TAE in VOV4.
Now go to CS01 with the main Item , Plant and BOm Usage as 5 , press enter .Maintain sub-items under Component with their quantity and Save.
Now while entering Main Item & Quantity in the Sales Order ,Sub-Item & Qty will automatically fetch from the BOM Master record maintained in CS01.
Best Regards,
Thanks, I am getting closer. The config recommended has caused my sales order creation to require a profit segment and WBS element which is strange as I reference an old sales order when creating the new one. I can't get past this sticking point.
New config set up is TAQ = Structure Scope A, application SD01. TAE has not structure scope nor application.
Bom header material master = ERLA, BOM component material master = NORM.
At VOV4- ZDOR/ERLA/<blank>/<blank> = TAQ and ZDOR/ERLA/<blank>/TAQ = TAE
Any other recommendations would be extremely helpful. Thanks again for your time.

The Migration South
We speak English. We love Mexico. We are more than a million strong.
Image:Luz Montero
Renee Harris, Tyler Harris, Mary-Lynn Gatschet de Leon, Sarah Bender, and Jimm Budd all live in Mexico.
A complex mix of identities
Mexico's North American residents express their mix of nationality, culture and ethnicity in ways that defy simple definition.
Michele Gibbs, 60, says, "I knew it was a mistake when I was born in Chicago; it was a very hostile environment...I was an individual in three diasporas: Jewish, black and communist. My orientation was always international." Oaxaca is home, she says.
Ron Lavender moved to Acapulco in June of 1954 and "never looked back." His company, Ron Lavender y Asociados, is the oldest real estate firm in the area. "I don't think I've ever really considered going back," he says, though he feels "considerable loyalty" to the United States.
Mexican-Americans are perhaps the fastest growing subset of Americans moving to Mexico. In some real estate agencies in Baja California, second- and third- generation Mexican-Americans account for 25% of new home sales, and an increasing number of the Social Security checks that are sent to Mexico each month are destined for Mexicans who have moved home after spending their working lives in the U.S. Some feel like outsiders in the U.S. and Canada, and find that they're still between cultures when they're in Mexico.
Elizabeth Villa is a 26-year old student at UCLA, majoring in Latin American studies and minoring in English. Her parents are from near Guadalajara and migrated to Los Angeles, where Elizabeth was born. She is now an exchange student at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in Mexico City.
"We come here and we're looked at as kind of gringos," she says. "If our Spanish isn't great, we're totally criticized for it." However, she says she's energized by the level of political activism that she finds here in Mexico, something she feels is lacking in the U.S. She's considering staying on in Mexico City beyond her year of study, maybe to pursue a Master's degree, perhaps to live.
Adriana Slemko, 40, was born in Puerto Vallarta to a Canadian mother and a Mexican father. Since age 2, she has lived her life equally split between Canada and Mexico, and now works as a real estate agent in Puerto Vallarta.
"When I'm in Canada, I'm Canadian," she says. "When I'm in Mexico, I'm Mexican. I have a dual mentality."
"I think it's a gross simplification to talk about an expat community," says John Gardner, the head of Mexpat, a Mexico City-based social networking group. "There are expats who identify with specific neighborhoods, or by profession: business people, artists, parents, students, teachers, journalists."
Lance and Jane Bird have been coming to Mexico since 1976, and split their time between Pasadena and their house in Bajamar, a residential development 25 miles north of Ensenada, in Baja California.
"We are in a community that's largely American, but we spend most of our time with Mexicans," says Lance, 66. "Our Mexican friends speak very good English, and there's a very lively social scene here."
"For us, the most critical overlaps with the expat community have to do with work," says Michele Gibbs. "The center of our social life is not in the extranjero community."
Still, there is no question that most expats draw some support from their compatriots. Jane Poindexter, 69, toured Mexico in 1999 looking for a place to retire. She rejected San Miguel as having "too many Americans," but chose Oaxaca over other locations with fewer foreigners.
"Having a common language and common points of reference is a wonderful thing," says Poindexter. "You don't have to spend a lot of extra time explaining yourself. I've found that I have more in common with the gringo community than I expected."

NJCAA Honors Salter for Classroom Success
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The NJCAA announced Wednesday that Pitt Community College volleyball player Natalie Salter has been recognized by the organization for academic excellence.
Salter, a Havelock High School graduate, spent the past two seasons with the Bulldogs as a libero and outside hitter. A university transfer student, she posted a 3.6 grade point average at PCC to earn 2010-11 NJCAA Academic Student-Athlete honors.
Earlier this year, Salter was one of 50 students Pitt recognized for excellence in the classroom, on campus, and in the community. During the ceremony, she also received the inaugural Female Student-Athlete Award.
In addition to Salter, more than 1,470 NJCAA student-athletes met the requirements for individual academic honors this year while more than 370 teams qualified for academic team accolades.
The 2010-2011 season marks the 28th year the NJCAA has recognized classroom success by its student-athletes. With minimal changes, the NJCAA academic awards program has been in place since 1983.
The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) is the governing body of two-year college athletics, offering numerous athletic and academic opportunities to college students. It is the second-largest national intercollegiate athletic organization in the United States with more than 500 member schools in 43 states.
Each year, more than 50,000 NJCAA student-athletes compete in one of 28 different sports. For more, visit www.njcaa.org.

Community Development and Family Support: Forging a Practical Nexus to Strengthen Families and Communities
The fields of community development and family support share a common basic goal: improving the life chances and well-being of individuals and families. Each field is guided by principles that advocate the shared humanity of all individuals, respect for diversity, and the promotion of social and economic justice. Yet the conceptual models of each field have led to different assumptions, priorities, and strategies of practitioners. Practitioners are increasingly reaching a "conceptual wall" where their fundamental assumptions about how best to strengthen families and neighborhoods are called into question in the face of resistant problems and changing family and neighborhood dynamics. For some practitioners there is an awareness that more holistic approaches are required to effectively address the complexity of needs experienced by disadvantaged families and neighborhoods. In order to develop a more holistic approach to practice, the fundamental linkages between strong families and strong communities must be conceptualized and operationalized in practice within each field. Recently a small, but growing number of community development and family support organizations have begun to implement more integrative programmatic approaches. The major goal of this research is to identify current concepts and practices, as well as potential strategies for the integration of community development and family support initiatives. Specifically, we have engaged in a research effort to explore the ways in which organizations can and do develop conceptual and programmatic models that form a nexus between building community and the wellbeing of families. The project team conducted focus group sessions at a special conference on family support and community economic development to identify current programmatic strategies, and major issues confronting practitioners. Over 30 family support and community development practitioners (administrators and staff) from across the country participated in the focus groups. Subsequently, the research team conducted field interviews with six organizations in Chicago, five organizations in the San Francisco/San Jose area, and two organizations in Hawaii. Content analysis of field interview and focus group transcripts was used to identify major practice concepts, current and emerging strategies, and challenges confronting community development and family support organizations.

Impatiens and Coleus are annual flowers. Annual flowers are grown only for one season. They die with the first freeze of the fall.
Coleus and Impatiens plants grow equally well in the ground and in pots. Placed together in a pot they create a wonderful display all summer. When you have a rainy season they benefit from the natural watering. If you have a dry spell it will take close monitoring and watering to keep your plants healthy and looking beautiful.
Coleus plants come in so many different colors and the leaves can be curly or flat. The patterns on the leaves can be mottled or the leaf can be edged in a different color. You can find a color combination to match other plants in your flower bed or the seating on your patio. Coleus can grow 10 to 12 inches up to two feet high.
Impatiens plants are a low growing annual that also comes in many different colors. For this container complementary colors were chosen. The plants have enjoyed the rainy, warm, humid temperatures of this season. Most of the time they struggle when there is not enough rain and the sun is hotter than usual.

Five Useful Steps to Calculate Your Monthly Car Payments
When shopping for a new car it is wise to estimate monthly car payments for each vehicle you look at during your visit to the dealership. This way you immediately have an idea of whether you can reasonably afford the vehicle before you get too attached and start negotiating with the salesperson. Of course an online calculator is quicker, but you can also do this with a formula if necessary in five basic steps.
Determine Rate
The rate is the interest rate that you estimate you will have to pay for the car loan. You can get a quote for the likely rate from a third-party lending institution after providing some basic information about the car. The dealership also offers financing options but from a wide variety of sources, so it is difficult to estimate a rate by asking the salesperson. Assume for the purpose of an example a car loan interest rate of 7.5 percent or .075 and represent this figure with the letter "r."
Determine Principal
Check the price tag on the car to figure out the principal of the loan. The principal is the amount you plan to borrow. Once you have the price, deduct the amount of any down payment. So for example, assume that the car price is $10,000 and you plan to make a down payment of $1,000. The principal (P) is $9,000 in this example.
Know the Compounding Frequency
Next, know the frequency with which the lender will compound the interest on the car loan. Compounding is when interest is charged on top of interest that has already accrued in addition to the principal. Monthly compounding is common for a car payment, so you must use the number 12 in the car payment formula.
Determine Length of Loan
Car loan repayment periods commonly ranges from 24 months to as long as 72 months. Choose the loan term you feel most comfortable with. Remember that the longer the term, the less the monthly payment amount but the more interest you'll pay over time. Assume a 48-month loan and use the letter "L" for the loan length in this example.
Plug Into Formula
The final step of calculating your monthly payments is to plug the figures you gathered into the formula. The formula to use is P*(r/12)/(1-(1+r/12)^-L). When you plug in the amounts from this example the formula reads 9,000*(.075/12)/(1-(1+.075/12)^-48) or about $217.61 per month.

It can sometimes take a lot of products to get that no-makeup, sun-kissed glow. Lots of products = us late for work because just applying makeup took 45 minutes. Us late = very unhappy boss. Very unhappy boss = no more Friday donuts (cut us some slack, we live for fried fat & sugar). Cut the product clutter with Cargo's SuedeBlush, which handily combines blush and highlighter into one simple step that leaves us with a subtle, glowing flush. Added vitamin E protects & softens your skin, too, and mica particles reflect light to camouflage less-than-even skintones. Some people might think we're glowing 'cuz we got a little something-something before we left the house, but we'll know otherwise (although we'd take the glow either way… and it's a good idea for when you run out of powder!)

Prometheus and Pandora
Prometheus and Pandora Resources
Why do you think this streaming music site took its name from Pandora?
Movies and Videogames
We couldn't pick just one. Check out all the movies that get their names from our leading lady.
Prometheus has his share of movie namesakes, too, but we're big fans of this 2012 sci-fi adventure.
Both Prometheus and Pandora get shout-outs in the God of War series.
Check out Prometheus when he shows up in an episode of Disney's cartoon series Hercules.
Man, they will animate anything. This version of the Aeschylus play is pretty trippy.
Prometheus was a poetic muse, apparently. Listen to this reading of "Prometheus," a poem by Lord Byron, and tell us: does it follow the story?

"THE BATTLE OF YORK 4" is presented by Chet Koerner's TKO BOXING Promotions, originators of the nationally acclaimed "HOMETOWN HEROES TO WORLD CHAMPIONS" professional boxing series.
A native of nearby Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Bell finished his amateur career with a record of 93-7. The 27 year old father of three was a five time Pennsylvania State Champion, most recently winning the 2009 Pennsylvania Golden Gloves.
Guided by longtime trainer Barry Stumpf, Bell will make his pro debut in a scheduled four round light heavyweight bout.
"Naziyr has been a fantastic amateur and his world class skills will really have an impact in the professional ranks. We're glad that he's making his pro debut so close to home as there will be a large contingent of fans from Lancaster" said Stumpf.
"He's overcome a lot in his life. When I first met him he was at the ARC of Lancaster for at risk kids. Now he's a counselor there, helping other kids, he's really turned his life around and making his pro debut is a huge personal step for him."
Said Chet Koerner, "As a promoter you're always on the lookout for new talent. I've heard great things about Naziyr for the last couple of years and TKO BOXING is proud to have him on our show in York for his pro debut."
More information on Bell's pro debut will be announced shortly.
Also appearing at "THE BATTLE OF YORK 4" will be York's Carney Bowman, 13-0-0 (5KO's) Eric Nemo, 7-1-1 (3KO's) and Stevie Weimer, 3-0-0 (2KO's), Dominican knockout artist, welterweight Francisco Contreras, 9-0-0 (9KO's), Johnstown cruiserweight Andres "TAYLOR MADE" Taylor, 8-1-0 (4KO's), undefeated featherweight Rafael Lora, 10-0-0 (5KO's) and undefeated Philadelphia middleweight prospect Dennis Hasson, 8-0-0 (2KO's).

Review - Southport Smoke House offers do-it-yourself experience
Published: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 8:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 8:50 a.m.
Few topics are more debated in the South than barbecue. Perhaps we should avoid discussing religion, politics AND barbecue in public. It's with this worriment that I approach reviewing a new barbecue place in Southport.
Southport Smoke House
1102 N. Howe St., Southport
Cuisine: Barbecue and such
Hours: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday, closed Sunday
Price range: Sandwiches are $3-$6, and a full rack of ribs is $18. Bulk barbecue also available.
Contact: 910-363-5035

The building that hosts the Southport Smoke House on North Howe Street has been home to one restaurant or another as long as I remember. Often, a new coat of paint was just slapped on the old place, but the smokehouse owners have really re-worked it, with more work visible on the inside than on the outside. There's a lot of corrugated galvanized sheet metal, giving it a quasi-agricultural feel. The ever-present aroma of wood smoke is nearly intoxicating when you walk through the door.
Customers are queued up to order at the counter, which can be a high-pressure activity for a lot of us – remember the "Soup Nazi" episode of "Seinfeld"? – but the super-friendly ambassadors of barbecue at the counter make it a painless process. There's not that much to choose from on the regular menu, so the uninitiated can decide without too much waffling.
Having said that, turning the Smoke House experience from "good" to "sublime" will probably take a few trips, some sampling and a boldness that comes from habitually ordering things that aren't explicitly on the menu.
For instance, while the regular menu doesn't specify, the takeout menu mentions that you can order the beef brisket lean OR moist. The brisket on my sandwich was perfectly tender, but dry, because lean brisket will be that way. (Don't be concerned; sauce fixes everything.) When I ordered the brisket to go I got it "moist," which yielded some chopped beef with enough fat to keep it juicy and delicious.
That was my experience overall. Everything is good, but a little bit "do-it-yourself" in a way. The pulled pork barbecue had good smoke flavor, but it hadn't been brined or rubbed with spices in any significant way before it was smoked, so it still needed a bit of help (sauce) to make it right. The brisket didn't pick up much smoke flavor (although the perimeter displayed a nice smoke ring) and, without seasoning, it also needed some assistance (sauce).
These folks are serious about their sauce. Like, "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you" serious. These are time-honored and gently evolved recipes that epitomize what these regional sauces should be.
I am not a fan of vinegar-based sauces, but the Lexington and eastern North Carolina sauces will hit the spot for those who are, and Carla's Grandpa's Tangy sauce is an excellent, piquant sauce that's a perfect accompaniment for beef or pork.
I am more of a Kansas City or Texas barbecue guy, so the thicker sauces are more my speed. The "Texas sweet" is what most folks in this country imagine when you say barbecue sauce. Gary's Spicy sauce is balanced, mildly hot and delicious.
The sides are all good.
Both the red and white slaw were excellent, perhaps the best I've had, ever. The red is tangier and better mated with strong flavors, but I'd stick either on a bun with anything on the barbecue menu and be happy. The mac and cheese and potato salad were both creamy and good.
The Smoke House also offers Kreuz (pronounced "krites") regular and spicy sausages on a bun or to go. These are some fairly iconic sausages from an old family business in Texas. They come off a little greasy by themselves on a bun, but a little red slaw will fix that, if you ask for it.
I suggest you give the Southport Smoke House a go and experiment until the combination is right for your palate. They supply the basics elements, but they can't read your mind.

The Detroit Red Wings officially announced on Monday that defenseman Chris Chelios will not return to the team next season.
"It was kind of understood last summer, after Cheli signed, that the 2008-09 season would be the last one for Cheli as a Red Wing," said Red Wings GM Ken Holland. "He wants to play another season and I believe he can still play."
Chelios, 47, played ten seasons for the Red Wings, joining the team from the Chicago Blackhawks at the 1999 trade deadline. The three-time Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's best defenseman is the second-oldest active player in NHL history behind Gordie Howe. His 25 seasons played are tied for most in NHL history with Howe and Mark Messier.
That's kinda sad, but I can totally understand why they would let him go. Hopefully he can find another team? Now some of the people on Grand Rapids will get a chance, too. I really liked the way Ericsson played
All good things mucs come to an end. You really have to admire how much heart and determination he has. He did a lot for this team over the past ten seasons. I wish him all the best, now it is time to make room for the new guys.
I can see him going back to Chicago. If not, maybe a team like New Jersey would be interested. He could go to any number of teams, but it all depends on who's interested.
yeah you saw this coming for awhile it's really to bad that the injury he took in preseason hindered him so badly but any team with a young blueline would be very intelligent to pick him up he has a veteran price tag on him but that money would be well spent for the younger kid's to learn from him i appreciate the decade of service he gave the Wing's and wish Cheli well
For some reason I could see Burke in Toronto picking him up. Cheli stays close to home, finishes his career with yet another O6 team, and the young Leafs blueline gets a mentor for a season.

Monday Musings: 1-16 Edition
Chris Williams
By Chris Williams, CycloneFanatic.com PublisherFollow Chris on Twitter @ChrisMWilliams
There are weeks when I sit down to write my Monday Musings where there just isn't much gas in the tank, you know? Writers block is in full effect. There isn't much going on...
That is not the case today. I could write 4,000 words right now (for your sake, I will not though).
Let's start off with some hoops...
--- For the first time in my life, I attended a game at the famous Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday. After that experience, I'm confused as to how Kansas ever misses out on a recruit. The energy inside of that building was unlike anything that I've ever witnessed in person. Hundreds of students waiting in line to two hours before the game, the trophies, the pregame atmosphere and the Rock Chalk Jayhawk. It all adds up to equal one of the most awe-inspiring sporting venues in America.
--- I took a lot of positives out of Iowa State's two losses to top 10 teams this past week. In the home loss to Missouri, the Cyclones simply beat themselves. Missouri did the little things right. Iowa State didn't. On Saturday, Iowa State had the Jayhawks right where they wanted them. However, that "Phog Allen" train got rolling in the second half. Once that beast gets going, it's damn hard to stop.
--- I got quite a few texts/emails from fanatics bagging on Chris Allen after Saturday's game. People seem to be upset with the senior's shot selection. I get it. Allen has forced quite a bit this year. But he does have the ability to hit those shots. He's also one of the few guys on Iowa State's roster who can create his own shot. Allen's defense was worse than his shot selection on Saturday in my opinion. Allen has some big games in him. He wasn't the lone reason that the Cyclones lost on Saturday. I have a feeling that Allen will have multiple big games down the stretch for this team.
--- While leaving Lawrence on Saturday, I was tuned into the Kansas Jayhawk Radio Network. I heard Kansas head coach Bill Self say that the Cyclones were the toughest team that the Jayhawks have been forced to guard all season long...He does realize that his team has played the likes of North Carolina, Ohio State and Duke right? Coach speak? Maybe, but it's a mighty fine compliment for Iowa State.
--- The sliver lining from last week is this. In two games vs. two top 10 teams, Iowa State had a chance to win each of them. Some might say that they should have won both. The talent is there. The Big 12 is way down. This team has come a heck of a long way since that debacle at Drake in early November. Being in the NCAA Tournament conversation when March gets here is not crazy talk anymore. Having said that, Iowa State still doesn't have what the committee could consider a "good" win.
--- Want to talk NCAA Tournament? Iowa State needs to go 2-0 this week. Oklahoma State (who was embarrassed by Baylor over the weekend) comes to town on Wednesday. If the Cyclones play like they did against Mizzou or Kansas, that's a double-digit win in my opinion. Then it's a road trip to Texas Tech (without question the league's worst team) on Saturday.
--- Here's what I'm hearing about Korie Lucious...He's one of the most vocal players in Iowa State's program right now. From the sound of things, when Lucious talks, others listen. It has to be hard for a guy who is redshirting to mix it up too much right now, but I'll be surprised if Lucious isn't one of (if not THE) team leader in 2012-13.
--- Here's what I like most about Courtney Messingham being Iowa State's new offensive coordinator. As Paul Rhoads put it in an interview last week, the two go way back. Chemistry should never be a problem between these two. Nor should communication. I have a feeling that this is going to work out well...
--- I've probably been asked this question 20 times in the last week: If Rhoads knew that he was going to hire Messingham, why did he allow Tom Herman to coach in the bowl game?
That's a pretty easy answer in my opinion. The current formula (that included Herman) got Iowa State to a bowl game in 2011. With a freshman quarterback, do you really want to change things up, put a new voice in his ear and assign Messingham play calling duties on the fly like that?
--- I like the pipeline that Iowa State's ace football recruiter Shane Burnham is developing with Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee. Last year it was Quenton Pompey and Quenton Bundrage. On Sunday, linebacker Darius White committed to the Cyclones.
--- Iowa State recently released this "virtual tour" of the new football facility that will open this fall. Check it out if you have a few minutes.
RANDOMS--- Here's a big shout out to one of the best guys in the business and a man I am proud to call a friend, the Voice of the Cyclones/ABC5 sports director John Walters for winning Broadcaster of the Year in the state of Iowa last week. "J-Walt" had a unthinkably tough job when he had to replace the legendary Pete Taylor. There aren't many men in this world who would have been up to that challenge. While we all still and always will miss Pete, John has carried on Taylor's legacy of professionalism and class but at the same time, brought his own unique style into the mix as well.
--- Here's how you know you're married to a vet. You come home from a weekend road trip and find a pet hospital set up in your office...
Looking for a new pet for your home? Little "Patty" is a kitten that was recently abandoned by an individual who is a poor excuse of the human race. She's sick right now but Dr. Ashley is determined to get her back to normal. Patty needs a home.

CLEVELAND — Peyton Hillis has added another chapter to his still-blossoming Cleveland legend.
The running back for whom the 2-6 Denver Broncos had no use co-starred with Browns quarterback and good pal Colt McCoy in the Browns' shocking 34-14 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Hillis, who quickly became a fan favorite this season for his bruising running style, gained a career-high 184 yards on 29 carries, overcoming a first-quarter fumble as he was — what else? — fighting for extra yardage after a 16-yard gain.
More photos below.
Even Patriots coach Bill Belichick — notorious for his postgame elusiveness — sought out Hillis to congratulate him, and told Hillis he was a great player.
"To get a compliment from a great coach, it means something," said Hillis, whose previous career high was 144 yards, in Week 4 against the Ravens. "(Sunday) was exactly the way football is supposed to be played."
His running allowed the Browns to dominate possession, key because New England quarterback Tom Brady for a while was rolling. Early in the second quarter, after a fumbled kickoff and three punts, the Patriots switched to a hurry-up offense, and Brady kicked it into high gear: Over the final 26 minutes of the first half, the three-time Super Bowl champion was 9-of-10 for 124 yards and a touchdown.
Yet Hillis — and the Browns' 7-of-13 performance on third down — rendered Brady a spectator for good chunks of the afternoon, as Cleveland controlled the ball for 38:08, nearly 10 minutes above their season average.
"The more time you can keep Tom Brady off the field, the better off you are," said Browns coach Eric Mangini, who couldn't contain a smile throughout his postgame news conference. "Peyton does a good job of grinding down the defense."
Drafted by Denver in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft, Hillis said he's long had to overcome doubters — including some in his own family. So his trade to the Browns in March, which meant he had to prove himself to another set of eyes, was just another small bump in the road.
"No one gave us a shot three weeks ago," Hillis said. "You have to look yourself in the mirror and say, 'What are we going to do today?' People didn't believe in me as an individual, even people in my own family. But you see what can happen.
"Throughout life, you have to prove people wrong. When you grow up and you have people telling you all the time, 'you can't do this; you can't do that.' Well, why can't I do that? Anything's possible. That's what's happening with this team right now."
This year, he took over the Browns' No. 1 tailback role in Week 3, and turned in two straight 100-yard games. Yet he injured his quad against Atlanta in Week 5, and since has struggled at times to get untracked at times. He said the Browns' bye last week helped him heal.
On Sunday he averaged 6.3 yards per carry and scored twice, from 2 yards on the Browns' second possession and 35 yards late in the fourth quarter to cap a drive in which he carried on all six Browns plays. On the latter drive, he wisely stayed in bounds twice on plays destined for the sideline.
"It all starts with (Hillis)," McCoy said. "The guy is a heck of a football player. He understands the game. Things like (staying in bounds) go unnoticed. He fires up the offensive line, the sideline gets fired up and the fans get fired up."
Hillis added three catches for 36 yards, including another brilliant diving catch along the sideline, reminiscent of his touchdown against Atlanta in Week 5 — on which he aggravated that quad injury and had trouble getting off the field in certain moments.
"This was disappointing," said Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo, who Hillis beat on a 29-yard, third-quarter pass from McCoy. "Coming in, we felt pretty good about our run defense and (Hillis) just came out with their offensive line and did a great job and ran the ball hard."

Associate director of performance enhancement Chris Rounds joined the Wildcat staff in June 2009. He is directly responsible for the strength and conditioning duties of the men's basketball program.
Rounds' efforts in the weight room have paid big dividends for the student-athletes within the program, as there have been visible and significant gains in strength, agility and conditioning. With the Cole and Jeannie Davis Strength & Conditioning Center - a state of the art basketball-specific facility - housed within the Richard Jefferson Gymnasium at his disposal, look for the Cats to make even bigger gains.
Rounds has constructed a strength and conditioning program that has seen five former players rank in the top four at the NBA Draft combine when it comes to the 185-pound bench press test - how many times one can lift 185 pounds. In 2011, Arizona's Derrick Williams led all NBA hopefuls with 19 repetitions.
Previously, Rounds served five years (2004-09) as the head strength and conditioning coach at Xavier University, overseeing each of its 16 NCAA Division I sports. His efforts with the Musketeer men's basketball program proved fruitful as XU student-athletes were routinely judged to be among the strongest at NBA pre-draft camps.
Rounds spent four years as the strength coach at Loyola Marymount (2000-04). While at LMU, he directed the fitness of 17 varsity teams and its more than 325 student-athletes, instituting many new programs. Rounds opened eyes at LMU with the vast improvement in the strength and conditioning program for the men's basketball program.
Prior to being hired at LMU, Rounds was the assistant strength coach for the University of Kentucky from 1997-2000. In his three seasons in Lexington, his main responsibilities were the men's and women's basketball programs, tennis and golf. He was a part of the men's basketball national championship program in 1998.
Rounds, 40, received his bachelor's degree in exercise science from the University at Buffalo in 1997, and has been a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association since 1997. He received his master's degree in exercise science from the University of Kentucky in 2000.
Rounds and his wife, Anne, have two daughters, Samantha and Alexandra.

I'm bored and tired so I thought this would be a good idea. Grim Fandango is a game based in a land of the dead. I wondered what people's thoughts on the afterlife are. Warning, I will probably make fun of all your religious beliefs ;)
Once you're dead, you're worm food. Finished, nothing else. Dead, dead, dead.
I believe that whatever you believe will happen to you simply will happen to you. If you believe you're worm food, you're worm food! If you believe you're going to heaven, you go to heaven! If you believe you're going to be floating around a universe of ice cream, soda and delicious cunchy munchy cookies, well you get the idea.
Heh, a nice idea and if I remember rightly that's what happens in the Discworld universe. I'd like to be able to believe otherwise than what I do, but I've realised that if there's no god there's no afterlife either. It's a slightly uncomfortable idea for most people that when you're dead you're dead.
I've never played Grim Fandango *ducks* but I don't think this is the place for non after life believers.
There must be something after.
Simply put.
How can decades of energy and emotion be snuffed out simply by dying? Its logical.
Someone get Zoom in here. He'd have some great insight on this...:)
The afterLife would suck if it were like the Spawn seires, man...totally...
Re: Teh Afterliff
Well I didn't mean make fun really, more challenge.
Whew, it reeks of Agenda in here. But I'll bite anyway. I just can't resist a good one of whatever you call these things.
I must concur with Ptdc on the technical level - as much as I'd love to believe in a Land of the Dead-type scenario, my Bull**** Detector (Patent Pending, so hands off,) tells me that dead is dead. No residual spirit, no heavenly reward\hellbound doom for said spirit, nothing. BUT (and this is the mother of all "but"'s) I'm certainly not stupid enough to believe that anything could ever be that simple. My inner realist (!?) just won't alllow me to jump to conclusions of convenience.
That's my answer to your challenge, Ptdc. I hope you have some good comebacks for me. I'll be mighty disappointed if you don't. I wanna argue, dammit!
Oooer, I hadn't counted on someone agreeing with me, partially at least. What follows may be wildly inaccurate and meandering but, whatever.
The belief in an afterlife usually relies on a spiritual or religious belief. Religions started because people couldn't explain the world around them so they invented myths and gods to push they sun around the sky and such.
If you believe in an afterlife you'll probably believe than it's something other than your physical body that survives into the next life. A soul perhaps.
I believe (and there's some scientific evidence, but I can't remember what) that the soul is just another explanation for a concept we don't fully understand, consciousness. We know that the brain isn't just a vessel for the soul and that there are specific centres for speech, motor control etc. So there must be an area for conciousness.
So if the physical brain can account for "the soul"; the same brain which will rot and decay; I don't think it leaves much room for an afterlife.
Well, I hope that makes sense for you because it doesn't for me ;)

I'm in the process of getting a second server connected to a Dell MD3000i. I'm trying to do it the exact same way the server before it was setup. It has a folder in the C Drive that goes virtual volume on the SAN. I believe this is a Symbolic Link, since that is the only thing I have been able to come up with in my research. How can I know for sure if that is what it is, and see what the details are for the link so I can create the same thing on the second server?
I'm not sure if the picture below will help much, but I will post it anyways.
