College Hockey:Sacred Heart Pulls Away From Fairfield In The Third
MILFORD, CONN. — The Fairfield Stags (2-6, 1-3 MAAC) and the Sacred Heart Pioneers (2-3, 2-2 MAAC) entered the third period tied at a goal apiece, but Sacred Heart scored three unanswered tallies, one with an open net to take the win, 4-1.
The two teams played a period and a half of scoreless tight checking hockey, until the 14:20 mark of the second when Hunter Greeley popped home a rebound from Blaise Silka's shot to put the Stags ahead 1-0. But less than two minutes later Mike Reagan evened the score for the Pioneers.
Turnovers again proved to be Fairfield's achilles heel, as they would give up several in the third, two resulting in goals. Lloyd Tennant cashed in on the first just 1:22 into the final frame, and Marc Fournier got the second at 5:46. Martin Paquet added the final goal on the open
net at 19:28.
Craig Schnappinger was again sharp in goal making two breakaway stops and several saves at point blank range. He finished with 32 saves on the night. Eddy Ferhi was equally sharp making 37 saves including a penalty shot taken by Fairfield's Rae Metz.

James Garner was born James Scott Bumgarner in Norman, Oklahoma. He attended the University of Oklahoma and married Lois Clarke in 1956. He had one daughter named Greta. Garner would begin acting on television in the series 'Maverick'. He would do other series for television such as 'The Rockford Files'. He would work in some 50 films. He would star in films like 'The Americanization of Emily', 'Grand Prix', 'Victor Victoria', and 'The Great Escape'. Garner was an actor that you really just wanted to like in any role he was in. I especially liked his TV work but it was his work in 'The Great Escape' that I will always enjoy best. Below is a review I did of the film. I hope you enjoy it.
'The Great Escape' Movie Review: What's on the other side of that fence
Where do you start of with this movie, the cast is fantastic and the direction is beautiful. Director John Sturges put together one of the greatest casts of all time. The group of men who played in this movie are the best of the best. Steve McQueen plays Hilts 'the Cooler' King. He is in and out of the cooler more than anyone else in the movie. He always brings his baseball glove and ball to pass the time. James Garner plays Hendley 'the Scrounger'. His job is to get whatever anyone needs. Charles Bronson plays Danny 'the Tunnel' King. He is the man in charge of digging out all that dirt in the three tunnels. Donald Pleasance is Blythe 'the Forger'. This is the man who will have all your forged papers ready when you escape. James Coburn plays 'Sedgewick' the Manufacturer. He is the man who if you need something made, he's the one to do it. Gordon Jackson plays MacDonald 'Intelligence'. He's the man in charge of making sure what the 'Big X' needs as far as information, he gets. The 'Big X' is Richard Attenborough. Bartlett is his name but he is the 'Big X'. He is the one in charge of the escape. James Donald plays Ramsey 'Senior British Officer'. These are the men of 'The Great Escape'.
Their job is to confuse and disrupt the German Military and to tie up so many of its men in order to cause a major disruption. The war had not really come to Europe yet. Yes there was flying missions but no allied troops on the ground as of yet. They were coming through and the allies had to tie up the Germans in knots.
The men in this camp were the best of the best in the department of escape. The Germans felt by putting all the rotten eggs into one basket they could keep an eye on their activities. Problem is when you have this much talent in one area there is no way you can stop the escapes. Bartlett wants to have one major breakout, setting free up to a couple of hundred prisoners out into the German countryside. He hoped some of the prisoners would make it back to the coast and back to England. Some did accomplish that feat. Others were able to tie up the Germans. Find out the rest of the story by watching the movie.
This is a true story. It is a story worth telling and with this cast it's more than worth the watch. You will enjoy the action from start to finish.

Rihanna cemented her status as pop music's leading fashionista when she picked up the CFDA Fashion Icon award at the annual style ceremony earlier today. She also cemented her status as pop's most scantily-clad star by wearing a sheer Adam Selman dress gown made of 216,000 Swarovski crystals and little else.
She looked incredible, but she also looked like she was starring in a sequel to Showgirls. Hey, wouldn't that be great? Rihanna in Showgirls II! She could play Elizabeth Berkley's Nomi Malone, and Beyonce could be Gina Gershon's Crystal Conners. It couldn't be any worse than Battleship or Obsessed.

"Dancing with the Stars" 2014 premieres March 17 on ABC with an 18th season of action from the storied ballroom. With precious few spoilers available leading up to the scheduled March 4 cast reveal, another Olympian casually threw her hat into the small ring of potential celebrity contestants via a Feb. 22 tweet.
During a Twitter question and answer session with alpine skier Julia Mancuso, who won bronze in the women's super combined event at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, a fan asked if she'd be interested in competing for the mirror ball trophy. Mancuso, 29, replied "I love to Dance!" leaving the door open for potential participation.
Other Olympians, including ice dance gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White and skeleton silver medalist Noelle Pikus-Pace have expressed interest in pairing up with a "DWTS" pro for the upcoming season.
Past seasons have seen three Olympians waltz away with the coveted mirror ball trophy. Short track speed skater Apolo Ohno was first to accomplish the feat when he earned the title alongside Julianne Hough at the close of season four. Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi earned her title with Mark Ballas during season six, and gymnast Shawn Johnson won season eight, also with Ballas on her arm.
To find out whether or not Mancuso joins the celebrity lineup, watch the "Dancing with the Stars" 2014 cast reveal during the March 4 episode of "Good Morning America."

I didn't expect to be writing about the Comedy Awards this morning, but lots of things happened this morning (by 8 a.m., even!) that I didn't expect, so here we go: E! had a little chit-chat with comedian/actor/multi-hyphenate Robin Williams at the ceremony and had a few grumblings about the apocalypse and its associated signs, some of which are apparently associated with Britney. Then he said this about Spears' fiancé/manager Jason Trawick being added to the singer's conservatorship: "That's kind of a double bill. It's like having your dealer as your therapist."
Dealers and therapists! Two provocative words that provoked the world's stans pretty thoroughly, resulting in all sorts of comments like "who asked you anyway, Robin?" (that would be E!) and "what do you know, anyway?" (probably as much as the Internet commentariat, if not more).
But really, though. Let's put aside the details of who said this and when and why and how off-the-cuff it might've been–it pretty much was–and let's focus on the situation here, which has still never been explained more concisely than in Rolling Stone back in 2008: "Britney today has about as many legal rights as when she was in the Mickey Mouse Club." Add to that all the creepiness of your husband having control over all your life decisions, multiply this by all the creepiness of your boss–current or former–having control over all your life decisions, and you've got an equation nobody ever wants to think about, let alone live. He's got a point amid the yuks.
Or we can just go the feud angle and say Robin Williams totally has it out for her. That's always fun. Good thing he's not on Twitter, or this could turn into an entire news cycle.

As the saying goes, "Pride comes before a fall." Apollo Nida has succumbed to his pride, as he pleaded guilty to multiple criminal charges of fraud in a federal district court in Georgia on Tuesday, May 6, 2014. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Nida blamed his decision to defraud his victims on his inability to keep up with his reality star wife's exorbitant salary. Did Nida's ego cost him his freedom and possibly his family?
In 2009, Nida impregnated and then married Georgia attorney Phaedra Parks. Shortly thereafter, Parks quit playing behind the scenes of reality tv, she worked on "Being Bobby Brown", and jumped in front of the cameras for "Real Housewives of Atlanta," another BravoTV network production. The "RHOA" series follows the lavish, often chaotic, lives of Atlanta suburbanites.
Parks married Nida a few months after he was released from prison on prior convictions of fraud. On the show, Parks is known for throwing lavish soirees for the life events of her family. Most recently she held an inauguration themed celebration for the birth of her second son with Nida, Dylan. On the show, Parks had extravagant baby showers for her children, and a first birthday party for son, Ayden with twelve birthday cakes.
New homes, new cars, and the best of everything are displayed on "RHOA". Nida's claim that he chose to continue in a life of crime in order to keep pace with his successful wife, does not seem too far-fetched. Nida is not the first BravoTV personality to find himself facing prison. Theresa and Joe Guidice of the New Jersey cast, were convicted for their financial crimes earlier this year. They all lived lavishly. But was it worth it?
Financial issues have seemingly destroyed many marriages. Prior to his first incarceration, Nida had allegedly built a life where luxury was at hand, but low scale. Keeping up with cast mates and expensive tastes can weigh on a person's psyche. (Nida claims that he had a nervous breakdown in the midst of his criminal enterprise.) Couple that with having a felony that involves misappropriation of monies and fraud, and you will be hard pressed to find a legitimate career that will afford you the finances necessary to maintain excess.
Truthfully, it would have been difficult for Nida to find any job at all so soon after being released from prison. Then Nida's TV persona comes off as self-centered and immature, yet loving of his children. When you have a personality that places what you have materialistically above your character, your ego will take control and leave rational thinking blowing in the wind. Ego will have you working off of emotions more than reasoned judgment. Often, it is ego, not financial issues, that is really the culprit in marital discord.
Traditionally speaking, men are to be providers and protectors of their families. Parks extols the virtues of being a Southern belle and even wrote a book about it. Traditional values are a virtue in the eyes of many Southern belles. Therefore, a man being able to provide at the level one becomes accustomed to, is paramount. Or so it may seem. In reality, women and men both work and share responsibilities in families and have been doing so for ever. It is possible, however, that Nida felt inadequate with his wife taking the lead on everything.
It seems, on the show, that Parks wears the pants in the family and treats Nida like one of her children. Falling back into a life of crime could have been prevented had Nida been given, or taken, time to adjust to life outside of prison walls before being thrust into the spotlight. That readjustment could have included an attitude adjustment and time to recover from the poor decisions he had made in the past. Yet the trappings of luxury were more alluring than having a stable and secure family, apparently.
Nida may have decided that his value to himself, and his wife, was based on how much he could provide, which is a perspective many men take and many women, sometimes unwittingly, reinforce. The reality could have been that Parks merely wanted an ambitious man who loved her and their children.
Advice: Before jumping into a situation you are unprepared for, think about the consequences long term more than you think about the immediate rewards.
There's no word as to whether or not Parks plans to stay with her husband through his legal troubles.

Advising Students with Disabilities
Advising students with disabilities presents many challenges to the college advisor. However, skilled advising can go a long way towards insuring the success of a student with a disability. To effectively advise a student with a disability, it requires a thorough understanding of the student's goals as well as the student's disability, the barriers the institution may have inadvertently created and the resources the college provides that can be used to assist the student in pursuing his or her educational aspirations.
Advisors who become familiar with the difficulties imposed by a particular disability can logically deduce the importance of some advising practices. For example, if the student is taking medication, are there certain times of the day when the student is less alert? This could have important implications when developing a class schedule. In a similar fashion, students experiencing clinical depression often have more difficulty in the morning. Depending upon the amount of time allowed to pass from one class to another, any student with a mobility issue might have difficulty with classes scheduled back to back in different buildings.
Educational barriers are less visible but no less demanding for students with disabilities. Students with learning disabilities often have difficulty with structure and organization. Instructors who break material down into small sequences and then present it in a logical step-by-step fashion serve them well. Advisors should attempt to learn something about the teaching style of various instructors and enroll students with disabilities accordingly.
It is also important for advisors to know the rules and regulations of their institution. Only if you know the rules are you in a position to take advantage of them for the benefit of the students with whom you are working. Financial aid and course substitutions are two obvious examples of areas that can be used to a student's advantage. A student with a disability can receive a full Pell Grant even though the student is enrolled in less than twelve hours, if their disability warrants it. Other students may qualify for a course substitution. Advisors need to know the procedures on their campus for such things as obtaining a course substitution if they hope to assist students who qualify.
Finally, when working with a student who has a disability, an advisor would be wise to develop collaborative relationships with faculty, financial aid, counseling and other organizations within the college. This can be one of the most important tasks an advisor can undertake. If about advisors have questions or concerns while speaking with an advisee, they can contact Lynne Branham, Interim Director, Center for Learning Assistance. Lynne is responsible for establishing eligibility for accommodations, determining the nature of the accommodations needed by a particular student and helping to insure that the student receives the accommodations for which they are eligible. She can be reached at (309) 677-4356 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Once again, Don Kirchenberg of the Friends of the Great Western Trail organized the annual Earth Day project clearing debris along the former railroad tracks.
Church groups, Scouts, schools, and local organizations adopt one mile of the trail. For the Bloomingdale and Glendale Heights Lions Clubs, this joint clean-up project begins at Prince Crossing Road and heads east one mile to County Farm Road in West Chicago.
"No one lives behind the Cascade Drive-in on North Avenue so no one adopts that mile," said Bloomingdale Lion Rob Pauling. "So that's the mile we clean every year."
Starting at 9 a.m., Pauling his daughter, Stef, nephew, Ben, and fellow Lions Sam D'Amico, Susan and Jess Galvez, Stan Poplonski, Bill Wolff, and Tom Zaccardi walk the trail with black garbage bags in hand. They walk up and down the trail picking up empty water bottles, soda cans, and candy wrappers.
"It's an easy project and one that's necessary," said Jess Galvez of the Glendale Heights Lions Club. "It takes about an hour and we're done. We just leave the bags of debris on the curb."
In advance, Kirchenberg arranges for pick up of the bags on Monday morning. The clean-up project is an all-round win-win - especially for the bicyclists, joggers, roller bladers, and nature lovers who use the trail.
To volunteer for the 2015 Friends of the Great Western Trail clean-up, contact Kirchenberg at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Tonight is student night at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts newest production: Heartbreak House. The show, playing at the Space Theatre, offers a perfect opportunity for homeschooling parents of older students to enter into the literature of George Bernard Shaw.
Transport your teens back to the English countryside as World War I looms on the horizon. Have them watch the pampered, privileged and powerful of the day enjoy frivolous pursuits as war (and disaster) draws near. They'll experience Shaw's comedy mixed with drama and the stage will be set for thought, discussion and learning.
Shaw, an Irish playwright and critic lived in London in the late 1800's and for years was an active member of the socialist Fabian Society. He wrote 10 plays prior to writing Heartbreak House (published in 1919) and as his writings and speeches had already made him a controversial public figure.
Shaw's purpose for writing Heartbreak House: His desire to draw attention to what he perceived as the spiritual bankruptcy present in society.
Shaw's most notable technique for drawing home his point of view in Heartbreak House: Shaw chose not to mention the war until the play's conclusion when enemy airplanes drop bombs upon the cast, killing two of the characters. Despite the destruction, the surviving characters hope the bombers will return. Why? They were so excited by the action!
Undoubtedly, your teens will be ready to talk after seeing Heartbreak House.
Student night for Heartbreak House is tonight at the Stage Theatre. However, if tonight isn't a good night for your family, the production will run through April 29th. Tickets start at $35 and student rush $10 tickets are available one hour prior to curtain with a valid student ID subject to availability.
The production is recommended for ages 15 and up as it does contain adult themes. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to: denvercenter.org or call 303.893.4100.

Keith Hodge is headed to the Bluegrass State to take over the Murray High School (KY) football program.
Hodge, 32, has resigned his post as head football coach at Dresden and will be introduced as the new head man at Murray at a press conference Friday afternoon.
"They (Murray) presented me an opportunity that after praying a long time about, I found was too hard to turn down," Hodge said.
"They really sold me on their approach to success and the pride and tradition that is there in the community and I decided I wanted to become a part of this close knit family."
Hodge, 32, complied an 18-6 record in his two seasons at Dresden and the Lions finished 7-4 in 2013.
He will replace Steve Duncan who resigned from Murray before Christmas after leading the Tigers to a 64-16 record in his six years as head coach.
Despite leaving Dresden, Hodge has great memories and is very thankful for the community support. "Dresden players, administration, and the community is what made this opportunity available for me," Hodge said.
"I'm very thankful for the support they have given me the last five years. "Everyone went out of their way to make me and my family feel at home and the current and former players at Dresden have really made a huge impact on my life."
Murray made the Class 2A playoffs all six seasons under Duncan which includes four Quarterfinal appearances and a Semifinal trip in 2011.
The Tigers who won 1A state titles back in 1961 and 1974 are coming off a 10-3 record and a loss to eventual 2A champion DeSales in the playoffs.
Hodge was the offensive coordinator at Dresden for three seasons (2009-11) under former coach Scott Hewett before taking over in 2012.
The Lions made the 2A Semifinals in Hodge's first year as head coach in 2012 and had a 11-2 record.
The Bruceton native started his coaching career at McMinn County from 2006-08 before heading back to West Tennessee.
Currently there are open jobs at Dresden, Brighton, Mt. Juliet Christian, York, Northeast, Pickett County, Chattanooga Christian, Hickman County, Hixson, Whitwell, Middle Tennessee Christian, Bolivar, Fairley, Chattanooga Central and Jackson Christian as schools currently looking for a head coach.

text: 17 September 2009 archive See all show photos L'WREN SCOTT was certainly inspired by the past for her spring/summer 2010 collection today, but she wasn't keen to tie herself down to one era or muse. Thirties glamour was communicated in colourful brocades, elbow-length gloves and heavy jet beading; Fifties hourglass silhouettes – shaped and sculpted to below the knee - and feather-covered cloche caps made numerous appearances; and the Seventies found an outlet in wide-brimmed fedoras and Le Smoking-style masculine tailoring. Despite this, Scott insisted that the inspiration was seeded much earlier and was infact called Madame du Barry after the famed mistress of Louis XV. It wasn't only the eras that Scott was exploring, though. There seemed to be more than a suggestion of her fiancé's ex-wives in the collection. Sharply tailored three-piece suits in raspberry velvet - and the oversized hats - could not fail but recall Bianca, whilst the Eighties inspired make-up – soft brown eyes and defined, glossy dark pink lips – and crimped bouffant hair said Jerry Hall to us in more than a whisper. We wonder if Sir Mick, seated in the front row with André Leon Talley, Carine Roitfeld, Jefferson Hack, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick – noticed, and if so whether he was flattered by the homage.

Career record
2013-14: McCulley won at least 20 matches for the third-straight season as a junior 157-pounder, going 20-11 with seven pins. The always-dangerous McCulley finished his season with three falls in his last seven matches and was the West Regional runner-up. He just missed out on a bid for NCAAs, dropping a close decision in the true second-place match for qualification.
He had 12 bonus-point wins for the year. Among the Cowboys, he ranked fourth with seven pins and seventh with two technical falls. To start the season, he was 9-0 with titles in both the Cowboy and Northwest Opens. He was the runner-up in the Reno Tournament of Champions with four wins and finished the regular season on a four-match win streak.
2012-13: A steady presence at 157 pounds, McCulley emerged as one of UW's top wrestlers as a sophomore. He led the team with 11 pins and went 9-2 versus conference opponents. The winner of 28 matches, McCulley was 9-5 in dual action. He defeated four ranked opponents and was first in the Cowboy and Nebraska-Kearney Opens. He finished second in the Reno Tournament of Champions and was third in the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational.
His performances didn't go unnoticed. He entered the national rankings early on and stayed for the whole season. His 28 wins were third among UW wrestlers, and he scored 39 dual points for the Pokes. He qualified for the NCAA Championships for the first time in his career, going 2-1 at the West Regional for third place and earning an at-large bid.
McCulley finished his season with a 0-2 mark at NCAAs. He was given the Joe Dowler Cowboy Up Award by the UW coaching staff after the season for his toughness and resolve.
2011-12: McCulley was a slow starter in his redshirt freshman season, but finished off the year on a 19-4 tear from Dec. 10 and on. He placed in three tournaments, taking third in the UNK Loper Open and winning the Utah Valley and Rocky Mountain Opens.
He then became a fixture for the Pokes at 157 pounds in duals. He entered the varsity lineup on Jan. 20 and didn't look back, going 6-2 through the dual season. He was sixth on the team with 28 wins and third with 10 pins. He had the team's third-fastest fall that season, pinning Charlie McMartin of Northern Colorado in 29 seconds in the Feb. 8 dual. He wrestled one of his best matches of the season versus Oklahoma State's Albert White, ranked 11th. McCulley held a late lead, but White nipped him in overtime in a 6-4 decision.
McCulley had a bit of a disappointing end to his season when he went 2-2 to finish fourth at the West Regional, just one place out of an automatic NCAA bid.
He received the Academic Hustle award from the coaching staff for his hard work in the classroom.
2010-11: McCulley took a redshirt during his first season with the UW program, as he wrestled in five open tournaments at 157 pounds. He posted a 23-5 overall record, including 4-4 against the WWC, with eight pins and three major decisions.
He started 2010-11 with a title at the Northwest Open, but just missed placing at the Cowboy Open. He rebounded to claim third in his last three tournaments of the season. He notched a combined 16-3 mark to finish third at the UNK Loper Open, Utah Valley Open and Rocky Mountain Open.
High School: At Rock Springs High, McCulley was the Wyoming 4A state champion in 2008 at 130 pounds as a sophomore and then again in 2010 as a senior at 152 pounds. As a junior in 2009, he was injured at the state tournament competing at 145 pounds.
McCulley was a three-time 4A West Regional Champion. In 2008 he was the Wyoming USA Wrestling Triple Crown winner, as well as a Cadet All-American by placing fourth at USA Wrestling Nationals.
He was on the honor roll each year at Rock Springs High.
Personal: McCulley was born in Rock Springs, Wyo., and he is one of two sons of Mark and Nikki McCulley. His younger brother's name is Zachary. His grandfather, father and two uncles all wrestled at the collegiate level. He is an elementary education major at UW.

"Lil' Leaguers" - Part 1 of 2
Writer: Michael Green and Mike Johnson
Penciller: Rafael Albuquerque
Inker: Rafael Albuquerque
Reviewed by: Michael Bailey
In the Batcave Lil' Batman reveals his origin, as does the shorter Superman and it becomes apparent that they come from another Earth. Suddenly Mr. Mxyzptlk shows up on Batman's monitors and explains he transported the smaller heroes to Batman and Superman's world to lighten things up a little and to spice it up further he transports the villains from the Lil' Justice League's world right into the Batcave.
Story - 5: I...
I really...
Well, there's no other way to say it.
I liked this issue.
I know, I know. "Mike," you say (or at least that's how it plays out in my head) "You have been slamming this book up one side and down the other. You've accused the writers of bad storytelling. How could you possibly like this issue after all of that?"
The answer is simple.
It made me laugh.
As in out loud, which made me grateful that I was at home because a man bursting into laughter in a public place tends to raise eyebrows and cause people to get security, if there is security. If there isn't some manager comes up and asks me to leave, but that's beside the point.
Believe me I was set to hate this arc. I really was. Little kid versions of the League? That's silly. Can't be good. No sir, no way, no how. It just wasn't going to happen.
And yet it did.
Not at first. No, it took a few pages to get me into the story. I thought the little version of Superman and Batman were okay, just nothing to get all excited about. The story built nicely, though and the scene with Bruce and Lucius reminded me of the better Batman stories from the seventies and eighties where Bruce was more involved in the day to day operations of his family's company. I don't know if it is the take I like most, but it's valid and brought character to Batman beyond little thought panels where Bruce and Clark say the same thing over and over and over again. I even dug the Floronic Man coming back for some odd reason. God knows I never cared one way or the other for the character before, but for the purposes of a throw away villain he worked just fine.
The moment that won me over came with the splash page of Superman and Batman meeting their shorter counterparts. Lil' Superman seemed like he mainlined a few dozen straws of Pixie Sticks right before this scene and could have been annoying if it wasn't for the dialogue between Batman and Lil's Batman.
Holy crud that was funny.
"I'm the goshdarn Batman!"
And my, "Ha!" filled the room, waking my wife and disturbing the dog no end.
But I reminded myself that I am a jaded comic book fan and can't like something just because it brought out one laugh. I kept reading, still giggling slightly over the goshdarn Batman and I thought my initial reaction might have been right when the Lil' League showed up. In all honesty it wasn't a bad scene and the sight gags worked well. I was impressed with the comic timing because comedy is hard to pull off in sequential art.
The key to this story came when the League went to the Batcave. When Lil' Batman and Superman revealed their origins I freaking lost it. The Superman one was amusing, but Batman's origin? It was fantastic to see something that is usually presented as high drama to the point where it is now a cliché played for laughs. I just plain dug the fact that the Lil' League's world is just a cotton candy version of New Earth. It really sold the concept and made it more than just a silly story that is played for laughs.
Mr. Mxyzptlk's involvement was nice but I have to say that I suspected his involvement from the third page or so. Actually, I originally thought that the Lil' Superman and Batman were going to turn out to be Bat-Mite and Mxy, but the ultimate reveal worked just as well.
So yeah, I liked this issue. I really liked this issue. I thought it was a lot of fun and a step up from this writing team's previous efforts. I'm also glad that it is only a two part storyline since that is all the plot would support.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am really looking forward to the next issue.
Goshdarn Batman.
Art - 5: The writing on this issue was great.
The art is what sold it.
All of the little touches that Albuquerque threw in were great. The eyes on Lil' Batman's chest symbol, the little bats that followed him around, the hearts, everything. It all went to make the story as great as it was.
Wow. I liked the writing and the art. Wonders will never cease.
Cover Art - 4: Ryan Sook seemed to be having fun with this cover but I preferred the interior art. Cool cover, though. I love the expressions on Superman and Batman's faces.

It's true: retirement security is the thing that weighs most heavily on the minds of millions of Americans. Those approaching the "golden years" want to be sure that their retirement years don't deflate like a lead balloon.
Today, insecurity is the watchword. The economic downturn has had the largely predictable effect of making more Americans more concerned about their retirement security. Years after the recession "officially ended," those concerns remain, according to a report from the TowersWatson consulting firm.
The report confirms that more than half of workers it surveyed said retirement income had become more important to them over the last few years, and that of workers age 50 or older, nearly four-fifths say they are concerned about their retirement security.
If the fall in interest paid on savings isn't debilitating enough, the most common concern among the soon-to-retire is cutbacks to employer-sponsored benefits, particularly to defined benefit programs (such as CSRS and FERS). These have been eroding in the private sector and even the target of numerous similar proposed reductions among government workplaces at all levels -- federal, state, and local.
Meanwhile, concern about the financial health of Social Security has caused employees to place even more emphasis on their own retirement savings through vehicles such as the TSP and 401(k) plans. Three fourths now say such plans are their primary means of saving for retirement, up from three-fifths in 2009. Also, three-fifths would be willing to sacrifice some of their current pay for a more generous retirement benefit. Older employees in particular "overwhelmingly value retirement benefits more highly than pay increases."
Many seniors and impending retirees are seeking information that can help them plan for a comfortable retirement are seeking help online.
One leading source for knowledgeable assistance is the Center for Senior Benefits, a place where experts in retirement and financial planning offer free advice on strategies for weathering the changing landscape.
Whether it's information about programs and benefits, or straight talk advice on preparing for the rocky days ahead, quality sources of counsel are now just a click away.

Flooring pertains to the permanent coating or covering of a floor and can consist of carpet, hardwood, rubber, tile, stone, linoleum, vinyl, terrazzo, and other various types. Noted as a finish trade, commercial flooring is installed over the base foundation in construction known as the subfloor. The selection of the type of flooring used in construction projects is based upon several factors, such as use, endurance, cost, noise insulation, ease of cleaning, and comfort.
There are generally 2 types of subflooring, either earthen made of clay or solid ground made of cement or similar compound. Wood flooring also has 2 general forms known as parquet and plank. Eco-friendly or green products used in flooring can include cork flooring because the tree it is cut from is not damaged when cut for material. They are also very durable thus the need for replacement is delayed.
Resilient flooring contains elastic material and produced into sheet vinyl, vinyl composition tile, linoleum, rubber, eco-friendly cork, and other types.
Carpet consists of continuous sheets of manmade fibers known as polypropylene and attached to a backing. A more common type of quick flooring is the use of carpet tiles especially in commercial projects and or office and industrial space. Carpet can be woven, needlefelt, knotted, tufted, flatweaved, or hooked. One disadvantage to the use of carpet in flooring is its need for quicker replacement and limited ease of cleaning.
If you are a homeowner looking to hire a flooring contractor please post your project and get proposals from up to 5 qualified flooring contractors. Our contractors can do projects such as new construction and replacement for carpet, hardwood floors, ceramic tile, terrazzo, and other types of flooring.
General Contractors

Call Me Crazy, But I am The One to Raise My Kids and I have Rights
What happened to the good ole days of parents raising their children? While this is…
It is that time of year again, the snow has already fallen in NH, yes we had a snow storm in October. Some places had 31″ while I had 5″ that soon melted away with the warm, sunny days that followed but the sign of snow reminded me just how close to the gift giving season we are. The kids are all ready to see Santa Claus and my youngest only wanted a candy cane for Christmas, that is until his sister created her Christmas wish list.
The best way to create a Christmas wish list, from a bloggers perspective, is to read online reviews and ask around as to what other bloggers recommend, but the way that works best for children is commercials. You know this time of year those toy commercials are in full swing promoting every cool product that kids just have to have this year.
My daughter caught onto the fact that there are so many toy commercials and decided to channel surf, but not for shows that may be on, instead my daughter decided to channel surf for toy commercials. Yes you heard me right, my daughter spent most of her Saturday morning surfing the television for the best toys possible in commercials and had a notepad with pencil beside her to create a list like no other.
Since the three year old spotted his sister doing this and so did the five year old, I now have two boys who want everything. The cute thing about the boys is that the three year old wants literally every single toy he sees, yes even Barbie on a horse and Barbie on DVD, he has no judgement as to whether the toy would be ideal for a girl or a boy – he just wants everything. There goes his whole "all I want is a candy cane" because now he says "I want everything and a candy cane for Christmas". **sigh**
My five year old wants every possible boy product there is out there, from wrestling to the Nerf foam gun products. The five year old is just loving everything he sees that is boy related and promptly asks to have it placed on his Christmas wish list.
The children are busy creating their Christmas wish list for Meme and Santa Claus by watching commercials daily.I suggest this technique for any parent who has a child who isn't quite sure what they want this year, but remember it could backfire into a huge want, want, want bug which means time to sit and explain the true meaning of the holiday season as you celebrate it; giving to others, enjoying the lights, being thankful for family, etc.
So commercials are the new catalog? I'm old, I remember looking through the big Sears Wish Book making my list.
I think it helps some kids to give them a number, my son can put ten items on his list, for example. For some kids it might be a higher or a lower number, but if you have or know a child that will give you fifty items on a list, a number is a good way to start.
You can also have them make their own lists for what they want to give other people, family and friends, even if the items won't be bought or given, to help them think more about others.
Terri K (@tkharmonic)´s last blog post ..tkharmonic: KRE-O Transformer Review & Giveaway : Mommy PR http://t.co/Xi6htZDt via @MommyPR
Yeah, I said they could make their list but they were guaranteed not to get everything on the list. I reserved the right to pick!
blueviolet´s last blog post ..Babies are NOT Cuter than Puppies, Right?
That's funny that your little boy wants everything that he sees, regardless if it's a barbie, lol. Christmas is going to be tricky this year for us. We will have to buy a lot of duplicates as my boys are about 2 years apart and fight over EVERYTHING right now.
Tiff @ Babes and Kids´s last blog post ..LG Front Loaders – "Air Your Dirty Laundry" + $250 American Express Gift Card Giveaway
My ILs are in NH too…the storm knocked their power out for a bit. We figured it was karma because they'd teased us about our early storms here in CO.
My 4 year old also wants everything she sees in a commercial. My 6 year old wants everything VicTORIous and Barbie. I'm just glad the baby is too young to know what's going on. lol

Residents in Ocean Beach Park and Point O'Woods on Fire Island are being warned not drink their tap water without boiling it first, or resort to using only bottled water after E.coli bacteria were detected in samples of the local water supply. The Suffolk County (New York) Water Authority has opened up its Traffic Walk Pump Station at the south end of Cayuga Street to offer customers bottled water. The alert, however, does not apply to communities west of Ocean Bay Park or east of Point O' Woods.
"Our primary concern is the health and safety of our clientele and we are working with the Suffolk CountyDepartment of Health to resolve the situation as swiftly as possible," stated the Authority's CEO Jeffrey Szabo.
For more information, residents on Fire Island can call 631 665-0063, or visit the Suffolk County Water Authority website.
Most strains of E. coli (Escherichia coli) are harmless. While some can cause urinary tract infections other strains, including 0157:H7 are more serios and may cause severe anemia or kidney failure, which can lead to death. Symptoms of E.coli poisoning usually appear within 3-4 of infection and include stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, as well as pale skin, fever, weakness and bruising, as well as insufficient urination
The bacteria is generally spread through contact with the feces of infected humans or animals as well as through food as well as water. Here in the US, most infections are generally traced to meat that has been contaminated during processing. If the raw meat is "not cooked to at least 160°F," health experts warn that the "bacteria can survive and infect consumers who eat it." In other cases, such as the one on Fire Island, people can become infected when municipal water supplies have not been properly treated with chlorine, or when accidentally swallowing contaminated water while swimming.

|Railroad Safety
Prior to the introduction of railroad safety legislation in the late 1800s, America's railroads were a dangerous place to work. In the years since, with pressure from governmental regulators and organized labor in particular, railroads have progressively become safer places to work. Today, railroads also cooperate in a variety of workplace safety research.
But even as railroads have become ever a safer place for workers, train tracks and highway-railroad grade crossings remain a dangerous place for the public. Unfortunately many people still take chances around trains and railroad tracks, chances that often prove to be life-altering or even fatal.
Because of the very principles that make railroads the most efficient form of land transportation (a lack of friction due to steel-on-steel contact between rails and wheels), trains cannot stop quickly in the event of a sudden emergency. And because trains do not have the ability to swerve (their wheels are "flanged", meaning a raised edge keeps them on the tracks), they also cannot avoid collisions in unexpected situations.
Railroad tracks are for trains, not people! Always stop, look, and listen before crossing railroad tracks. Never drive, ride your bike, or walk around crossing gates that are down. Don't try to race a train to the crossing: a modern-day train is headed up by locomotives weighing anywhere from 100 to 200+ tons, and railroad freight cars today carry upwards of 100 tons each!
The California State Railroad Museum supports railroad safety education through its participation in the California Operation Lifesaver program. The Museum also offers railroad safety education to participants in the Interpretive Handcar Program and the School Trains program, both based at the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento.

A Seattle-based consortium led by the Yager group was awarded $15.4 million by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative. The aim of the project was to develop a portable device that would bring the technological power of a modern medical diagnostics laboratory to the developing world. The consortium co-investigators are Patrick Stayton of the University of Washington Department of Bioengineering, Gonzalo Domingo of PATH, Fred Battrell of Micronics, Inc., WA, and Walt Mahoney of Epoch Biosciences Inc (part of the Elitech group).
Developing countries have limited resources and lack facilities to test patients whose symptoms indicate they may have a life-threatening infectious disease. The consortium's efforts were directed toward filling the need for an affordable, portable system that does point-of-care tests for multiple analytes from a single sample and provides results in a matter of minutes. The project developed and tested a prototype of an instrument--the DxBox--that healthcare workers could bring to remote areas of the developing world to quickly and easily make diagnoses. The chemical processes--immunoassays and PCR-based nucleic acid amplification--are carried out on disposable plastic lab cards that contain all the reagents, can be stored at ambient conditions for a year, and use a few drops of blood as the sample. The initial clinical target was a panel of tests that differentiate between six pathogens that are likely to cause fever in the developing world. Micronics, Inc. is responsible for commercializing the DxBox after the end of the project in November of 2010.
The Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative is a major international effort to achieve scientific breakthroughs against diseases that kill millions of people each year in the world's poorest countries.

This 2-year project was funded by NIH/NIBIB through the ARRA Challenge Grant mechanism. The aim is to demonstrate the capabilities of a two-dimensional paper network (2DPN) to perform complex sequences of chemical processes resulting in enhanced detection of biomolecules. The 2DPN format 1) is instrument-free, 2) can be operated by an untrained user, 3) allows fully quantitative multiplexed analyte measurement using a simple camera, and 4) is inexpensive enough to be disposable. In essence, it will the DxBox where the box will be replaced by a cell phone.
A multiplexed diagnostics platform that has higher sensitivity and greater functionality than current lateral flow tests, but at a cost-per-test and with an ease-of-use comparable to those tests, has the potential for very positive impact on human heath. This type of device could be of use to diagnose a number of health conditions in many low-resource settings in the U.S. and the developing world. In the developed world, the biggest impact would be for use in physicians' office laboratories, nursing homes, hospitals, and in the home.
Potential high impact applications are those in which there is a need for significantly improved detection sensitivity to enable earlier diagnosis (and treatment) than is possible with current lateral flow tests. These include multiplexed testing for the full range of infectious agents, as well as biomarkers for acute and chronic disease
The initial target in this project is a biplexed immunoassay for detection of IgM that is characteristic of two viral diseases. The detection will be amplified to enhance sensitivity.
Top of Page
This is a 9-month DARPA DSO "seedling project", the aim of which is to demonstrate that the 2DPN platform can be used for rapid point-of-care detection of emerging diseases. The 2DPN is a sensitive instrument-free multiplexed diagnostic platform using disposable devices that are comparable in cost and ease of use to conventional lateral flow tests.
Based on previous experience, we have chosen detection of dengue as an initial target. Dengue is an emerging infectious disease that infects over 50 million people each year in 100 countries (with recent cases being reported in Hawaii, Texas, and Florida), and is classified by NIAID as a Group III pathogen with bioterrorism potential.
The demonstration of the platform will be a multi-analyte immunoassay for the four serotypes of dengue virus, as well as for previous dengue infection (IgG). The platform will be applicable to other targets including other emerging infectious diseases that could affect deployed military personnel. The anticipated greater sensitivity and multiplexing of the proposed 2DPN platform are improvements over conventional lateral flow tests for the effective early diagnosis of dengue (e.g. identification of previous infection increases the risk of developing dengue haemorrhagic fever).

Hi everyone. Im a white belt preparing for my blue belt test. I train at under Rosendo Diaz ( http://www.graciepa.com/ ) in Chalfont PA, but i miss a lot of classes going to NYC for work. I was hoping to find a second school near Port Authority that would let me drop in a train whenever i couldn't make it home in time. Sometimes it might be twice or 3 times a week, or it may be a few weeks without coming in at all. Any idea of a school that would help me work something out that's affordable?

In 2007, Jerry Shapiro was granted a faculty appointment as Adjunct Professor of the Department of Dermatology at New York University School of Medicine, where he conducts a dedicated hair clinic and teaches. Dr. Jerry Shapiro also holds a faculty position as Clinical Professor in the Department of Dermatology and Skin Science at the University of British Columbia. He received his MD from McGill University in Montreal and did his specialty in Dermatology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. In 1986, he founded the Hair Disorders Clinic. In the early years Dr. Shapiro worked diligently to establish a focused clinic for patients afflicted with inflammatory, hormonal, and idiopathic hair and scalp disorders. Prior to this a dedicated clinical service for these patients, who have difficult-to-manage and time-intensive problems, did not exist anywhere in Canada and there were only a handful of centers in the US. By 1989, Dr. Shapiro had become one of the first to pioneer the use of topical immunotherapy for alopecia areata in North America, proving conclusively that this novel therapy was indeed effective Hair experts from across North America have consulted Dr. Shapiro for the "Vancouver Protocol" for administering topical immunotherapy. This recognition is paralleled by the dozens of patients from the US, Canada, Europe, South America, and the Middle East who are seen by Dr. Shapiro and his team each year at the Hair Clinic. The Hair Clinic is now easily one of the top 5 clinics in the world in terms of patient volume and scope of practice in relation to clinical hair problems. In 1992, he incorporated hair transplantation into the University of British Columbia Hair Clinic as he recognized the surgical technique as an important treatment modality not only for androgenetic alopecia but also for those inflicted by scars from accidents, burns and congenital deformities.
In 1986, Dr. Shapiro recognized the need to understand hair biology at a more fundamental level in order to better meet the needs of patients. Again, by working methodically, he expanded the Hair Research Lab from one bench to a 1,000 square foot facility in the Vancouver General Hospital Research Pavilion. The research is supported by the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, the Canadian Dermatology Foundation, and the Canadian Hair Research Foundation. Dr. Shapiro's research has been focused on dissecting the mechanistic aspects of restoring normal hair growth in androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata and as a model for understanding wound healing, autoimmunity, and carcinogenesis. The Hair Research Lab has been invited to present its work at the US National Institutes of Health on three separate occasions. Dr. Shapiro's travels extensively for invited international lectures and visiting professorships.
Dr. Shapiro is past-presidency of the North American Hair Research Society after serving as Secretary-Treasurer for 6 years as well as past president of the Canadian Society for Investigational Dermatology.
Dr. Shapiro has raised the profile of hair research and the medical relevance of disordered hair growth by founding the Canadian Hair Research Foundation (CHRF). Two years ago, the CHRF received the Public Education Award from the Canadian Dermatology Association in recognition of the valuable patient education resources that Dr. Shapiro established with the CHRF.
Locally Dr. Shapiro also established the Alopecia Support Group for his patients, which has led to his recognition by the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF), the largest patient support and advocacy group for hair disorders in the world. Jerry has been invited to speak at NAAF meetings throughout the United States, and has also served on their Scientific Advisory Panel to adjudicate research grants.
Dr. Shapiro has become one of the thought leaders in hair disorders. He has published numerous articles, book chapters and has single-authored the textbook on hair: "Hair Loss: Principles of Diagnosis and Management". This volume is now a core textbook for all Canadian dermatology residents. Dr. Shapiro has also co-authored a book for the lay public on alopecia areata which has become a best-seller for those who have the condition.
Finally, Dr. Shapiro was the first in the world to develop a comprehensive medical and surgical Hair Fellowship training program based at VGH and UBC. This program was launched in 1998 and has attracted trainees from New York, Montreal, Detroit, the Philippines, and Singapore. This fellowship has now become highly coveted and well-recognized.
Dr. Shapiro has provided leadership and excellence in all three areas of clinical care, research, and teaching in the field of hair.
What Dr. Shapiro began as a modest clinic aimed at filling a local clinical void has now flourished into an international centre of excellence for hair biology and its disorders.


text: Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA) today issued a statement denying that it is withholding from U.S. customs and immigration officials information on passengers on SAA flights to the United States, and giving assurances that the airline has implemented all requests and has no hesitation in doing so. Referring to reports published recently by certain news media, the statement pointed out that the Kingdom is in full agreement with the June 15, 1996 memorandum of understanding submitted by U.S. customs and immigration to IATA, concerning providing data on passengers coming to the United States; this program was presented to all airlines as optional, and was postponed in order to find an easier and more economical alternative for its implementation. Passenger lists, however, are electronically recorded in the automatic departure system, and can be reviewed at any SAA desk at a U.S. air terminal.

It's February 11; Good Morning Union
"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:52
The One Project continues today here in Seattle, focusing on the importance of Jesus as the central message and commitment of our Church. In keeping with that theme (and my current journey through the Bible) today I was looking for my ah-ha moment in the book of Luke, and I didn't have to look far. This famous descriptor of Jesus, summarizing what little we actually know about his growing up years, reminded me again of the balance in His life.
"And Jesus:
1. Increased"- He wasn't satisfied with just doing the minimum to exist and make it through life—He "increased."
2. "in wisdom"- He increased mentally
3. "and in stature"- He increased physically
4. "and in favor with God"- He increased spiritually
5. "and man"- He increased socially
Talk about a well-rounded person!
Have a great day in your commitment to "increase" like Jesus.
Pastor Rich
Quote for the day: "The bad news is- there is no key to happiness. The good news- it isn't locked!"

The UH Department of Athletics announced Thursday that head basketball coach Tom Penders' top assistant, Melvin Haralson, is taking a leave of absence.
Haralson did not travel with the Cougars to Bowling Green, Ky., where they edged out Western Kentucky 74-72 on Tuesday. KRIV Fox 26's Mark Berman was the first to report that Haralson was missing in action.
Director of Athletics Communications Jeff Conrad and other University officials refused to comment on this matter.
Fox 26 Sports reported Thursday that an advisor close to Haralson said Haralson requested the leave of absence for personal reasons. The school approved, allowing Haralson to miss the trip to Western Kentucky.
The length of Haralson's break is indefinite at this time, but several sources believe this could be the first sign that Athletic Director Mack Rhoades wants a new coaching staff.
UH is 12-11 this season and probably won't make a postseason tournament unless it wins the Conference USA Tournament. In six seasons under Penders, the Cougars have never earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Haralson spent two years as an assistant at UH before Penders became head coach. Since then, he has served as Penders' associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.

Watch: Stylish scares haunt cast in new 'American Horror Story' teaser
We've already seen the creepy clips/clues for FX's upcoming "American Horror Story," and now the cable network has released a short, tantalizing teaser.
With no dialogue, the 30-second "family portrait" clip shows us the name cast, including Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton, Denis O'Hare, Frances Conroy and Oscar-winner Jessica Lange, in the haunted house at the center of the series.
From "Glee" co-creators Ryan Murphy (who also created "Nip/Tuck") and Brad Fulchuck, "Horror" looks -- unsurprisingly -- scary, sexy and oh-so-stylized, with a sparse piano-based theme to heighten the suspense. They're probably won't be any singing though, unless it's of the creepy nursery rhyme variety.
The show centers on a therapist and his family (McDermott, Britton and daughter Taissa Farmiga) who move into a seemingly haunted house, where Lange shows up as the spooky, interfering woman next door.
"American Horror Story" premieres October 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think of the teaser? Will you watch the premiere?
