College Hockey:Notre Dame Sweeps Bowling Green
Ryan's Three Points Lead Fighting Irish
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Notre Dame (20-9-1; 13-6-1 CCHA) received big offensive contributions from freshman Ben Ryan as his Notre Dame Fighting Irish upended Bowling Green, 4-1 at the BGSU Ice Arena, completing a season sweep of the Falcons.
The right winger from Brighton, Mich. notched a pair of goals to go along with an assist in the win. His second goal came with less than four minutes left and opened up a two goal cushion after the Falcons had just pulled to within 2-1.
"Benny had been a top-notch freshman," said Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson. "He's been playing in almost every situation. He competes hard. He has great hands, great hockey sense.
"That was such an important goal at the end. Bowling Green had all of the momentum with that shorthanded goal. For us to be able to score that goal was huge in the overall outcome of the game."
"We've had some problems putting the puck in the net," said Ryan. "We're getting better at the right time. Last night, we scored six yesterday and four today. It seems like things are coming together."
"Notre Dame is a very good team at winning these types of games," said Bowling Green coach Scott Paluch. "They're very good with the lead. They played down the stretch extremely well."
The weekend sweep couldn't have come at a better time for the Irish. Last week, they were swept by No. 1 Michigan. Jackson knew this week's games were critical.
"There's not much hockey left," said Jackson. "We only have eight games left. Every point is huge if you're trying to finish in the top four of the league. That's our objective, to finish in the top four and the top three, if we can. But those three teams ahead of us are pretty darn good teams."
The two rivals played a close, physical game throughout, but experience coupled with cool heads proved to be the difference down the stretch for the Irish.
The Falcons (12-12-0; 9-9-0 CCHA) managed to stay in the game until the closing minutes. Trailing just 2-1 late in the third period, a pair of undisciplined penalties in the final 3:42 took away any chance the Falcons had to tie the game.
James Perkin picked up a tripping call and Kevin Schmidt and Dan Sexton each received misconducts as a result of their vocal disagreement with the call.
"It was a disappointing finish," said Paluch. "We didn't take advantage of a pretty good opportunity. We didn't take advantage of a real good effort. We killed some penalties, got a great shorthanded goal. We had a lot in our favor, but the emotion of the game got the better of us. We didn't handle it well. We got undisciplined at a real key part of the game.
"Our effort was very good. We competed well. We stayed with the game perfectly for 56 minutes. We did not handle frustration well in the key moments of the game. Championship teams and good, top-level teams understand that and deal with anything that's thrown at them."
Penalties have been a problem for Bowling Green in the last two weeks. The Falcons have racked up 187 penalty minutes in four games against Western Michigan and Notre Dame.
The Falcons kept the game close and had chances in the offensive zone, but could not get the bounces to fall their way. Ben Geelan and David Solway both had chances to put points on the board for BG. Geelan missed an open net in the second period that would have cut the lead to 2-1 and Solway missed wide on a breakaway in the waning seconds of the period as well.
"We had some good chances," remarked Paluch. "We missed a wide-open net in the second period with Ben Geelan. Late in the second, we got the partial breakaway as the buzzer goes from David Solway. When the game got to 2-1, we had some pucks rolling around, and we had some pretty good pressure down there. But give credit to Notre Dame. They bent, but did not break. We got our chances, but it's certainly frustrating to not come away with any points this weekend."
After an 0-for-38 drought on the power play coming into this weekend's series, the Irish special teams lit the lamp for four power play goals in the series.
"We've finally put the right people in the right positions," explained Jackson. "We've been struggling since before Christmas. We're changing some guys around and putting them into some roles where they can be more successful. We've tried not to make too much out of it. The media's done that for us. Special teams has always been our bread and butter, and before Christmas, things just seemed to start falling apart in that area. But, it's huge for us if we're going to have any type of success at all."
"We changed things up," said Ryan. "We had the mentality that when we're in the zone, we're going to play five-on-five. Our main goal was to just get the puck in on net and keep things simple."
Notre Dame opened the scoring at 4:33 of the first period by tallying their third power-play goal of the weekend. Ben Ryan was able to find a rebound our front and jam it past Jimmy Spratt for his seventh goal of the season.
The Irish increased their lead in the second period to 2-0 when Ian Cole lit the lamp for his third goal of the year. The freshman defenseman let a wrister go from the left circle, beating Spratt on the stick side.
The Falcons pulled within striking distance at 11:58 of the third period with a shorthanded goal. Andrew Krelove stripped the puck away from a Notre Dame blue liner in the Irish zone. He dumped it off to Dan Sexton, who went in alone on Jordan Pearce. The freshman deked the goaltender, then slid the puck through the five-hole for his sixth goal of the year.
Ben Ryan iced the game with a power-play goal at 16:31 of the final period. He took a crisp pass from Justin White, and one-timed it from between the circles for his second goal of the game.
Kevin Deeth added an empty net goal to close out the scoring for the Irish.

Everyone knows there is a problem with our right to vote. Like the weather, everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it. The Republicans complain about it and the Democrats act like you passed wind at a dinner party whenever it is brought up. Very few are actually prosecuted for the crime because sentences are light and the burden of proof is high. If you think it doesn't happen in your state checkout this map of fraud from 2009, thru 2011. For more recent data see here.
Well almost nobody is doing something about it. Kris Kobach (R) Secretary of State of Kansas took his job seriously as the state's chief election official. His office created a program called Interstate Crosscheck to protect the integrity of the voter process. The program takes all registered voters and cross checks several fields. It compares fields like name, date of birth and the last four digits of the Social Security number. The goal is to identify possible double voting across state lines. In the 15 states that used the free system to crosscheck 45 million registrations from the 2012 election 1.4 million showed possible voter fraud. Possible because no one has been convicted yet of having the same first name, last name, and date of birth in two different states. North Carolina alone found 81 deceased cast ballots in 2012.
Another group of people trying to protect the integrity of our votes is "True the Vote". You might have heard of them before when Obama's IRS was trying to delay their tax exempt status. A group of citizens noticed a lack of poll watcher that were not Democrats in one of the largest voting blocks in Texas, Harris County. They formed up to create the King Street Patriots to balance the representation during the 2008 election. One poll worker Catharine Engelbrecht identified 23,000 bogus voter registrations submitted by one organization, ACORN. By the 2010 election KSP amassed over 1,000 poll watchers to help keep the elections honest. Since that election they have branched out nationwide and formed the group True the Vote so every citizen can participate in honest elections.
So while conservatives and Republicans are trying to preserve the integrity of our election process what are the liberals and Democrats doing? Why getting injunctions against interstate crosscheck, six visits from the FBI, two business audits and two personal audits from the IRS, ATF and OSHA visits for the True the Vote organization.(Federal harassment) Concurrent with the liberal claim that voter fraud is not a major problem and conservatives want to suppress minority voters.
Let us take a look at one minority voter democrats want to protect. Ohio Democratic poll worker and environmental community activist, Melowese Richardsen. Her right to vote was suppressed to only voting for Obama six times in 2012, and admitted voting multiple times in 2008 and 2011. She was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. Less than a year later she is released and placed on probation for five years. (Melowese) Within days of her release MSNBC host "No Justice No Peace" Al Sharpton invites Ms. Richardsen to be the guest of honor at a "voter rights rally". (Rally)
So we know where each party stands on voter fraud. It also explains why our representatives cater to the illegal immigrant population while ignoring voter fraud. Voter fraud is not concocted to replace real voters it is only used to push close elections over the line. In 2008 Obama won North Carolina by 14,177 votes, out of millions cast. That's how close some elections can be. But voter fraud is not some new invention by Obama progressives it has been around quite a while as this grand jury report from the 1976 thru 1978 NYC elections (Grand Jury Report)
Now you know how Dobbs (played by Humphrey Bogart) felt as you would like to see your treasured vote be protected as you are surrounded by bandits. Bandits who call you names like racists instead of god dammed carbron and chinga tu madre when you ask for Identification. You can now see the Importance of those old people called poll watchers and your own vote.

Cheryl Cole Leads The Way At Fashion's Night Out
Cheryl Cole left her new man Tre Holloway at home to party with the fashion pack at Vogue's Fashion's Night Out in London last night.
Dressed in a stunning lace peplum dress and with her hair tied back into a sleek pony, Cheryl rocked up to the Giuseppe Zanotti Design Store on Sloane Street to show her support… and sip on some champagne of course!
Cheryl has been busy promoting her new single Under The Sun - despite suffering from an arm injury in a car crash with her manager Will.i.am last week, she's been soldiering on and schmoozing at every opportunity.
Earlier this week, she made it clear that things are very much official with dancer Tre Holloway by holding his hand on a dinner date in London.
Let's hope he doesn't get jealous when he sees these snaps of Cheryl cosying up to designer Giuseppe Zanotti! RM

Martha Kirpes
Author: Roberta Saling, English Language and Literature
Photographer: Rick Richter, Psychology
Martha Kirpes came to the University of Michigan to get a Ph.D. from the School of Natural Resources. Luckily for Michigan students, she's still here.
As an academic advisor in the Newnan LSA Academic Advising Center and as coordinator of Residence Hall Academic Advising, Martha gets to talk to students every day, and nothing gives her more enjoyment. Her unique dual roles require that she be an expert not just on the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, but on all the other schools and colleges as well, and she uses her own scientific background to encourage students in science and math. She designed and teaches a workshop for students on how to read science texts most effectively, she trains and mentors Residence Hall Peer Advisors, she counsels students on study habits and time management and helps them through the often difficult transition from high school to college. A former student of Martha's, who is now in medical school wrote, "Impressed by the effectiveness of her qualities, I started to mimic them, and it improved the quality of my academic and professional life…I wouldn't be the same person without her."
Her nominators cited her dedication, hard work, collaborative spirit, her deep commitment to students and student life, her warmth and positive attitude, her willingness to go the extra mile, her endless energy, and, "… she has the additional gift of being unfailingly kind to everyone." She is active in her professional development as an academic advisor and takes advantage of the many training and enrichment opportunities offered at the university. "She is always reading some new book or article about students and higher education and finds ways to incorporate what she has learned into her approach to her own responsibilities," said a colleague. "No one is more invested in helping students make the most of their educational experience than Martha," said another.
Most importantly, said her co-workers, she is a terrific role model because she remains actively engaged in her own field of civil engineering and environmental studies. Her motto, Martha said, is "Build a better world, one person at a time." As one of the many contributors to the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Martha shared in the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. She uses that experience to engage students in conversations to help them see how, no matter what field of study they choose, they can play an important role in making the world a better place. She has presented papers to the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering and is preparing a paper for the next conference on college students organizing relief and support for people affected by the large earthquake in Pakistan.
"I believe that she represents the ideal model for an LSA staff member – someone who is actively engaged in scholarship outside of the boundaries of her specific position," said a nominator. No one who works with Martha would disagree.
Martha has an interest in organic gardening, enjoys embroidery, and has traveled around the world — literally: she took a nine-and-a-half month trip around the world, and, always the life-long learner, stopped at as many national parks, museums, and biosphere reserves as she could fit in.

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the county. However, some men who are diagnosed with slow growing tumors are recommended to undergo active surveillance rather than undergoing surgery and/or radiation therapy. These men receive periodic tests to determine whether the disease has progressed. However, a new study has found that this strategy allows some of the cancers to progress to a dangerous level. The findings were published online on April 10 by researchers at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
The study authors note that the identification of men harboring insignificant prostate cancer is important for the selection of patients for active surveillance. As a results, procedures have been developed to identify men who should undergo the strategy based on clinical and biopsy findings. Therefore, the investigators conducted a study to evaluate the appropriateness of active surveillance.
The study group comprised 848 men who underwent a radical prostatectomy from July 2007 through October 2011 at an English tertiary care facility. Tumor volume was measured via a pathologic examination. For each diagnostic method, statistical analysis was conducted to determine whether the disease qualified to be insignificant by three different criteria. The comparison of the accuracy of the procedures in the screened (by PSA test) and unscreened populations was made.
The researchers found that, among the 848 men, 415 had Gleason 3+3 disease on biopsy. Of patients, 32.0% had extension of the disease beyond the prostate and 50.2% were upgraded. One man had positive lymph nodes; 206 men (24%) were D'Amico low risk. Of these, 143 had more than two positive biopsy samples. None of the diagnostic techniques had adequate discriminative power in predicting whether the tumor was insignificant. They found that the accuracy of the tests was low in both PSA-screened and -unscreened populations.
The authors concluded that among the unscreened population, diagnostic techniques designed to identify insignificant prostate cancer are inaccurate. They suggested that a wider size range of prostate tumors in the unscreened might have contributed to the inaccuracy.
Take home message:
If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, it would be prudent to get a second opinion at a tertiary facility such as Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (unless that is where the disease was diagnosed). Not all men diagnosed with prostate cancer require surgery and/or radiation treatment at the time of diagnosis. Thoroughly discuss the pros and cons of active surveillance with a specialist in prostate disease.

Queen Victoria was a precursor to the Kardashians. Case in point: A Royal Passion: Queen Victoria and Photography, which opens at The Getty today, documents her lifelong relationship with the camera. This fascinating exhibit provides an extraordinary peak at the queen's private and public life, showcasing images of her as a wife, mother, widow and empress.
Recently crowned Queen Victoria was only 19 when photography was invented. Just as the Kardashians rode the nascent wave of reality TV, the young queen and her beloved husband, Prince Albert, embraced the new medium in 1839. Ironically, Queen Victoria thought the first portrait she sat for was horrible because her eyes were closed. Like many a Kardashian, she did what she could to prevent the image from being seen in public at the time -- she scratched William Edward Kilburn's daguerrotype to remove her face! No doubt, she'd be upset to see it's currently on display here. Two days later, Queen Victoria posed for another photo, but you'll notice she foiled Kilburn by positioning herself in profile and donning a huge brimmed bonnet to hide her face! Despite this inauspicious start, Queen Victoria became the first British monarch to have her life fully covered by the camera. Her interest in the new medium essentially gave it a royal seal of approval, making photographs even more fashionable.
Popular carte de viste - calling cards with the visitor's photo on them - emerged. Some of the ones Queen Victoria liked to carry with her are in the exhibit. Consider them the social media of her day, comparable to Twitter and Facebook, which the Kardashians readily adopted.
The Queen and Prince Albert shared their passion for photography and spent hours creating photo albums together. The Kardashians do something similar with their video scrapbooking in A Very Merry Christmas. Taking it to the next level, Queen Victoria had a custom-made bracelet featuring pictures of her grandchildren, which is also on view. It wasn't until 1860, however, that pictures of the queen were sold to the public. Of course, the Kardashians have branded their images on everything from coffee cups to greeting cards.
Some of the images in this show are intimately reflexive. After Prince Albert posed for a portrait, Queen Victoria sat for her own, holding that same portrait of Albert in her lap. The two photographs are hung side-by-side, with the subjects facing each other in this exhibit. Similarly, the Kardashians often use clips from their old TV episodes in their new TV shows and Instagram old photos.
Kim Kardashian made headlines with her sex tape. Rumor has it Queen Victoria had an affair with her Highland servant John Brown. Could the photo of Queen Victoria and John Brown at Balmoral be a 19th century version of a sex tape?
Granted, it's ludicrous to liken the Kardashians to Queen Victoria, but if it inspires a new generation to see this historic exhibit, that's what matters.
Peruse this royal event.

Later, we went up into the (puf, puff) Ocean Drive Club. I think I mentioned previously that this used to be the Marlins batting cage (and also made a joke about J Lo and dodging foul tips).
Its nice and all that, but it looks something like a batting cage that's been turned into a club. There are astroturf covered tables, and the obligatory white couches, VIP rooms, a buffet, and lots of TVs. This is where the hoity toity come to get away from us common folk.
As we were leaving, I noticed there were two large cases that seemed about the right size for the SuperBowl trophies. But the trophies were missing. Where did they go? Later, when we went into the Hall of Legends there was also space for the trophies - but they weren't there, either. At one point, Shed Dawg Mike had on a large trenchcoat, which seemed odd for the weather we were having - but he does like adding to the shed collection of memoribilia. I didn't think much of it at the time, but hmmmmm....
As we continued the tour, I couldn't help but notice that the World Series trophies which are normally in the Marlins part of the stadium were also missing. But at least they left a note when they went out for a walk.
I sensed a conspiracy.

LOVE AND ROCKTOBER | Comics Time: Love and Rockets Vol. 2 #20
Love and Rockets Vol. 2 #20
featuring "La Maggie La Loca" and "Gold Diggers of 1969"
Jaime Hernandez, writer/artist
Fantagraphics, 2007
56 pages
Out of print at Fantagraphics
(First, a quick reader's note: At this point I've read all of the all-Jaime/Locas L&R collections. For this, the final issue of Love and Rockets as a comic-book-format periodical, and for the three currently available volumes of its new squarebound incarnation, Love and Rockets: New Stories, I'm going to be reading and reviewing Jaime's stuff on its own before starting over at the beginning with Beto. There are other ways I could play this, but I'm enamored by the idea of being all caught up with Maggie and company. And yes, this means LOVEMBER AND ROCKETS is on its way...)
The triumph of the continuity! Leave it to Jaime to use "La Maggie La Loca," the inaugural strip for The New York Times' "Funny Pages" lit-comics section, to address one of the oldest, wildest, most sci-fi strips in his series' history. Though the more outlandish details are largely (but not entirely--I spy a glowing robot head in one of those flashback panels) elided, Maggie the Mechanic's adventures in the jungle alongside Rena Titanon and Rand Race are officially not retconned. I'm happy about this because I'm the sort of person who pulls for that early sci-fi stuff, encouraging folks who want to start reading the series to start there even though it's so different in vibe and visuals from what it ends up being. I'm also happy because it means that Maggie's translator for that time, Tse Tse, returns for the strip, revealing herself to have become maybe the smartest and most successful of the characters. (I'd always considered her the "lost Loca" and hoped she'd somehow find her way to Hoppers or the Valley.)
The strip's story involves Maggie receiving an invite to come visit Rena on the private island where she hides from the admirers and enemies she made during her dual careers as a wrestling champion and a revolutionary icon. Maggie, of course, is just a humble apartment manager, and she spends most of the visit alternating between awe, jealousy, and contempt for her hostess, whose glamour and strength appears to have slowly edged into isolation and paranoia. But what makes the strip really worthwhile in terms of how it relates to the Locas strips of the here and now can be summed up by one panel: A nude, 40-year-old Maggie, standing with her back to us in all her craggy, doughy, Rubenesque magnificence, looking out the window at Rena, her back also to us, arms akimbo, her 70-plus-year-old back and arms still seeming hewn out of wood despite her age, staring down at gifts left by her devoted fans. But as that mirrored pose indicates, both women have essentially the same plight: To what extent are they comfortable with their achievements? To what extent can they let the people they love into their lives? To what extent are they just standing there alone--or is the important thing that they're looking at people who care about them? Maggie may just be an apartment manager anymore, she may now get in way over her head (literally) when she attempts to have a fun island adventure like she used to, but the way Rena sneaks into her room at night just to watch her sleep reveals that the aging heroine could use a dose of the community and camaraderie that's part and parcel of Maggie's dayjob. A life spent fighting people in the ring and the streets has left her admired but alone; Maggie's misadventure teaches her it's okay to focus on the former to ameliorate the latter.
Accompanying the main strip is "Gold Diggers of 1969," a flashback strip drawn in Jaime's Sunday-funnies kiddie-comic style and concerning li'l Maggie as she bounces between her three other mother figures--her actual mom, her Tia Vicki, and her babysitter/mentor Izzy from back in her wannabe-gangsta teenage years--on a particularly dramatic day. Again we see the ways in which these strong women are weak (I was particularly tickled by the revelation that Izzy's not a founding member of the Widows at all; sorry, Speedy), and the ways in which they draw strength by helping to protect people weaker than they. Little Perla's way too young to really notice any of this, but I think that's the point--flash forward about 15 years when she's off gallivanting with Rena in the jungle, and she's still mostly too besotted with hero worship to notice the toll Rena's glamourous, dangerous life has taken on her. In much the same way that connecting with her new baby brother and her mom and dad makes young Maggie feel like part of a whole, so too does her semi-disastrous visit to Rena at age 40 help give a hero her strength back. What a kindly pair of comics.

I have a 16hh thotoughbred gelding that is starting to event this season (only BE90) but although he is really starting to settle into his job I am struggling to keep the weight and condition as he can get very fizzy! I've attached an image of my youngers sister riding him and this shows how skinny he is!
At the moment i feed him on 1 1/2 scoop alfa-a oil to keep the condition and then 1 scoop topspec cool condition cubes. He also has a scoop of magic calmer as i have tried so many but this has shown really great results for him (ThankGod!) and a scoop of biotin as a thoroughbred he did have poor feet but this seems to have really helped.
I could really do with some advice on what cubes or mix to feed that will ensure weight gain! Also I don't know if im feeding him enough? I have had baileys outshine suggested to me does anybody have any experience with this product?

Leave the mix and add some beat, go with a none sugary one ie with the Lami sigh on it.
I have actually found fizzy horses to be those that are underweight, on the lean side, so the fizzyness could just be hes not getting enough.
Everyone I have spoken too swears by Calm and Condition.

Have same issues with weight control with my tb. She is practically retired now and really fussy.
I would add in a scoop of sugarbeet or fibrebeet to his feed. I feed Just Grass, conditioning mix, sugarbeet and a cup of veg oil.
Tried the alfa oil and she hated it. Found the best thing is the veg oil. You could aways up the alfa oil if your boy eats it fine or just add in a glug of veg oil as etc.
Have you tried endurance mix? After studying all feeds, it seems to have the highest DE value at 14Kj and 10% oil. Ive heard very good things about it and would like to try it this winter cept Ill have to get it ordered in.

Yes he dos'nt look to bad at all. I am having a proplem with my tb ex-racer. She dose not need alot of feed since she is out in the field every night so I just feed her 2 or 3 scoops of basic ponynuts. But she gets fizzy so easily and is hard to handle when she is. I have been looking at calming feeds on the internet and have found Equine Sensitive a feed by Doddson and Horrel I havnt tried it yet but it looks good its like it has whinneys name written all over it!
Have fun wherever you are!

If that pic is supposed to show your perception of 'skinny', I think it's best that you go study safergrass.org for starters.
Ex-racehorses &/or horses otherwise been intensively kept/fed can have digestive/weight/hoof probs due to their diet & management. Horses don't tend to cope well with high-carb, high protein feeds, especially fed in big &/or infrequent meals and many of these horses have ulcers & metabolic issues(which also effect hoof health). Treating for ulcers &/or including a digestive aid and keeping to free choice hay/roughage and low NSC feeds is generally the best, as is well balanced nutrition, which generally means a good quality complete supp or such.

Manning Cup preview
Teams to beat
Position last year: Quarter-finals
Returning players: Senior Walker, Tazio Gilpin, Jason Greenland, Tarval Whittaker, Andre Johnson, Anthony Harvey, Rashane Garcia
Key players: Tazio Gilpin, Rashane Garcia
Name of coach: Trevor 'Jumpy' Harris
Coach's view: "Due to national Under-20 training we have been unable to put our squad together effectively. But KC is a resilient school. We have not won the competition over the past 25 years and the aim is to change this over the course of the next three years. If we get to the latter part of the competition this season, that would be an accomplishment."
Position last year: Champions
Returning players: Devon Williams, Javaughn Francis, Deshawn Forbes, Davian Kelly, Carl Reid
Key players: Devon Williams (captain), Carl Reid, Deshawn Forbes
Name of coach: Neville 'Bertis' Bell
Coach's view: "It's never easy to repeat, but we are hoping we will be able to come up with the goods. It was tough the year before last year, was tough last year and we expect it to be equally tough this year. We have also been drawn in a fairly tough first-round group, but we are relying on experience and younger players to bring us through."
Position last year: Semi-finals
Returning players: Nico Brett, Lynden Reid, Javaughn Benjamin.
Key players: Nico Brett, Lynden Reid, Javaughn Benjamin
Name of coach: Leebert Halliman
Coach's view: "I don't think we can come out of this zone because I have lost 15 players out of my squad of 30, for various reasons, from last season. We will be using a number of our Colts players in the Manning Cup this year, and so I think we will have a better chance of winning the competition next year. We have had a poor pre-season because we didn't have our home field to train on until the middle of August. We also encountered a lot of financial problems because the school didn't have any money to help with our programme."
Position last year: Quarter-finals
Returning players: Ashani Walker, Shamal Thomas, Odane Greensword
Key players: Ashani Walker, Odane Greensword
Name of coach: Alfred Henry
Coach's views: "In general, we have a good crop of youngsters who are well disciplined. But we have no big expectations. We just plan to take each game as it comes. The immediate aim is to get out of our group. It's difficult to compare this year's team with those of former years. It's a matter of the players' mentality and we just have to wait and see."
Position last year: Runners-up
Returning players: Adrian Crooks, Jermaine Morgan, Roger Bucknor, Shamari Shaw.
Key players: Jahmiel Hardware, Kenrick Preston, Tyshawn Renford, Ramone Howell, Robert Johnson.
Name of coach: Anthony Patrick
Coach's view: "We expect to do well this year because we have a number of senior players back from last year, and we also have the same backline of players from last season. The players are looking good going into this season and I am impressed with them, given what they did in the pre-season. We have a number of quality senior players who can win the Manning Cup for us, but they just have to go out and perform on the day."
Teams to watch
Position last year: Quarter-finals
Returning players: Jerome Grant and Dwayne Williams.
Key players: Steven Morant, Canniggia Johnson, Tajay Small.
Name of coach: Gregory Allen
Coach's view: "We are hoping to do well, but I believe that this is one of the weakest teams that I have ever coached at Eltham High. I think that we are in a very tough group with a lot of quality teams, and so it is going to take a lot of hard work from us to get out of it."
Position last year: Quarter-finals
Returning players: Akeil Barrett, Wilburn Williams, Marlon Thompson and Chevonne Marsh (Messi).
Key players: Calabar is promising a total team effort but expects the returning players to lead the charge.
Name of coach: Alrick Clarke
Coach's view: "Based on what we have, we should do pretty well. We are working to go beyond the quarter-final stage. We have ambitions of winning it all this year and preparations are going pretty well so far in the areas that we are working on. It is going to be a total team effort and we are expecting an all-round performance. We are not expecting any one department to take us through; we are working on every area. So far the cohesion is not too bad, but we are working to improve the areas that we are weak in right now, such as the strength of the players, their maturity and their knowledge of the game. Knowing how to play is a key factor, and staying composed.
Position last year: Quarter-finals
Returning players: Omar Holness and Amal Knight (goalkeeper)
Key players: The Wolmer's Boys team is also promising a team effort as they have a fairly new team. The team is, however, said to be well rounded and versatile. Players such as Desmond Campbell, Vance Rookwood, Chad Lewis and Giovanni Campbell, who made limited appearances last season from off the bench, are expected to step up to the forefront. Holness will be a change agent for the team.
Name of coach: Ludlow Bernard
Coach's view: "I expect the team to do well as they have been through three months' rigorous training and they have responded well. They are very enthusiastic and are raring to go, I expect them to do well as they are a confident bunch. Our defensive organisation is an area that we have emphasised from day one, being that it is a young team. We have offensive persons who can give us that one or two goals that we may need and I think defensively we can sustain any pressure that will come at us."
Position last year: Finished third in their first-round zone.
Returning players: Kemar Brown, Al Nesbeth, Jevaughn Simms, Omar Pryce, Vishinul Harris and Lennox Russell, to name a few.
Key players: Most of the returning players and new boy Andrew Allen
Name of coach: Jerome Waite
Coach's view: "I am definitely expecting the team to do better than last year and that is to move out of the first round. Over the years, Charlie Smith is the type of team that plays attractive football. We had some high points and some low points during preparation. The high point is that the pre-season preparation as it relates to background work was fairly good. Nutrition-wise and where equipment are concerned we are falling short there.
Charlie Smith has also suffered two major setbacks. One of their players, Kemar McGhie, his leg was broken during pre-season training. The school was also broken into last weekend and four of the team's six footballs, which they use for training, were stolen.
Position last year: Quarter-finals
Returning players: Jamel Hamilton, Rushane Lewis, Oneish Degouth.
Key players: Ramone McGregor, Dean Phillips, Neco Reynolds, Kimani Henry, Neco Brooks.
Name of coach: Miguel Coley
Coach's view: "We have a team that can win, and so we are definitely going all out to win the competition this year. The guys are more mature and they have been gelling well together, as a team, and I believe that as the competition goes on they will get a lot better. I think most of the teams in our group are well prepared, and so it is going to be challenging for us, but we are up to the task."

(See note below the video for information about the soundtrack.)
The sounnd track for the video. Right Now by Van Halen is available on iTunes, Amazon Music and Spotify for free.
The work done at your Jewish day school extends far beyond your office. Your words, acts, and relationships constantly reverberate throughout your school ecosystem. Many of the connections are obvious, and some are nearly invisible, but one thing is clear: When we consider the system as whole, great possibilities present themselves. Problems are resolved faster. New opportunities appear. The whole thrives. Uncommon Connections teaches Systems Intelligence. Attend—and make you, your school, and your entire community, smarter.
In between our common experiences, we have designed four Constellations of Learning. Within each, choose from a variety of learning opportunities to suit your interests and learning preferences. You can use each three-hour Constellation to best support your learning goals for this year's conference, deepening your understanding of the conference theme of system intelligence, stimulating and refreshing yourself, and developing specific strategies and resources for improving your work on behalf of your school. You will choose your own learning adventure. You can choose among many Constellation options in each of the four Constellations. You schedule your own time within each Constellation and across all four to include as many or as few of the options as you wish. Only the excursions require advance signup, as they are space-limited and require transportation arrangements. Please note that excursions and Open Space sessions are not available in all Constellations.

The Tamil Nadu (a state in India) Government is almost ready to lock Microsoft out in favor of open source software. Earlier Microsoft had been ousted from the academias of Kerala state. Though it is only two states currently, this can build into a momentum in favor of open source. I always maintained that open source made sense to the developing countries.
Open source has a hidden advantage for a country like India. Open source tools are more likely to be localized and internationalized. Since the source is available for volunteers, they are ready for more languages to be incorporated. In a multi-lingual country like India this benefit can amplify.
Though this cannot be said generically, the cost of open source software turns out be less. This is mainly for two reasons, one is that having the source with you lets you do full customization, and secondly open source tools tend to have more community support. Of course, a lot of people argue against this, but I believe the reason is usually lack of skills in the team. Some research and informed choice of software out of the open source basket can provide a better solution. One of the best examples is the field of CMS, where the open source counterparts lead the way. The formula mentioned by Mark Taylor can help.
I think that in developing countries open source software should be preferred, especially in the academics. And once it becomes mainstream in academics it will carry forward through personal choice and experience into the industry.

Put Down the Phone and Drive: Texting and Driving Takes Lives
Quite some time ago a familiar slogan was coined by a group of drivers that were fed up with cell phone related automobile wrecks. "Shut-Up and drive!" Now the refrain is clearly, "put down the phone and drive." It took some time, but finally, at the end of last year, the Federal Department of Transportation issued a regulatory ruling that banned texting while driving in most commercial motor vehicles. In Illinois texting and driving has received scrutiny since at least 2006 when a University of Illinois graduate was struck by a car and killed while the driver of the car was downloading a ring tone.
Numbers do not lie, and the data continues to mount regarding texting and driving. A study out of Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) showed that for heavy trucks the following activities increased risk by:
- Dialing Cell Phone, 5.9 times more likely to have a crash
- Use/reach for an electronic device, 6.7 times as likely
- Texting, 23.2 times as likely.
Texting-Related Wrecks are Severe
Distracted driving not only increases the numbers of accidents, but increases the likelihood that an accident will be serious.
The reason is simple. When you are attentive, you can take some action – braking or swerving – to lessen the damage. But with distracted driving, the responsible party is often unaware an accident is about to occur. Quite often, these accidents involve striking the rear of a stopped vehicle at full speed or drifting into the wrong lane while distracted. The mental or cognitive impairment is akin to falling asleep at the wheel – much worse even than someone who is driving slightly under the influence of alcohol. Reactions will be slowed, but the distracted driver can completely zone out, allowing the truck to move along on autopilot.
Distracted Driving in Your World
If you or a loved one is a victim of distracted driving in Central Illinois, Please contact Ryan Bradley. Ryan, has been assisitng those injured in automobile wrecks fir his entire career and is here to assist anybody that has been injured.

Potato Gratin
Slivered garlic and freshly grated nutmeg flavor this simple potato gratin.Yield: 6 servings
Active Time: 30
Total Time: 90
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
- 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 1 1/2-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a heavy saucepan, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually pour in milk and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture just begins to boil, about 5 minutes. (The sauce may seem thin.) Remove from the heat and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Place a piece of wax paper directly over the surface to prevent a skin from forming and set aside.
- Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices (a food processor does the job nicely); toss with garlic and spread evenly in the prepared dish. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are very tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake until the top is golden, 10 to 12 minutes longer.

How to Find Good Driving Schools in Orange County CA

But there is no state requirement or evaluation however of their effectiveness in driver training however, all driving schools bearing The Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 have had high customer satifaction verified by our research calls to previous customers, in addition to passing all other requirements for Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 status such as proof of car insurance for your protection, hiring only documented workers, verified license, clean complaint record, and more.
The Need for Driving Schools in Orange County CA
Why are driving schools in Orange County so important? Because although it eats up so much time in our bustling American lives, it's easy to forget that driving is a privilege, a skill, and inherently dangerous. Flawed as we naturally are, we all make mistakes and open ourselves up to the risks that driving incurs everytime we get behind that wheel. But with proper driving instructors, human error can be reduced. There are several good driving schools in Orange County that can give driving lessons in Orange County as well as instruct on additional driving safety techniques and driving skills.
Driving Schools in Orange County Not Only Teach, They Raise Driving Safety Awareness
Teen driving school, driving instruction, driving lessons, driver's ed—no matter what you call it, we are all better for having been through it. Whether you need to brush up after being a passenger for a long time or you've got a teen that is ready for the ultimate symbol of independence, driving schools in Orange County offer a wide variety of services.
To prepare for a learner's permit or driver's license test, there are two stages to the driving lessons. The DMV-licensed driving instructors offer a few hours in the classroom to familiarize everyone with the privilege of driving, the general rules of the road, the history of the auto, licensing and registration protocol, components of the automobile, and accident causes and prevention. Following instruction, students may be given examples of written DMV tests to gauge what the student has learned.
After this is complete, the driving instructors can pick you up almost anywhere around Orange County and behind-the-wheel driving lessons begin. In this stage of the driving lessons, the driving instructors teach the student about spatiotemporal awareness and the principles of inertia and momentum. The student driver learns about vision and motor coordination, maintaining space, changing lanes, smooth operation of the controls, judging their speed, and safe merging techniques.
The driving instructors in and around Anaheim, Orange, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove will give thorough tutorials on parking as well, including parallel parking, diagonal parking, and perpendicular parking. After a thorough understanding of the basics is established, student drivers get to apply these new skills in different settings around Orange County, such as urban driving, country driving, and freeway driving. When student drivers display sufficient skill, the Orange County driving instructors can even simulate a DMV driving test. Alternately, if you only need your driving skills refreshed after an absence behind the wheel, driving schools in Orange County offer practice tests for "brush-ups"—a great way to be certain of your skill level before heading to the DMV.
Many driving schools in Orange County can accommodate student drivers with physical or cognitive disabilities as well. And don't be nervous - the driving instructors at driving schools in Orange County are there to take care of you, and they are infinitely patient!
Some Driving Schools in Orange County CA Are A Much Safer Choice Than Others
The Prime Buyer's Report lists these driving driving instructors and driving schools in Orange County: Teen Road to Safety Inc, AA Teen Driving Academy, Master Drive of Orange County, International Driving School, Orange Driving & Traffic School, Safe Roads Driving School. Other driving schools in Anaheim, Orange, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove CA that might still be in business include: .
A Guide to Finding Good Driving Schools in Orange County CAStep 1: Do Some Research on Driving Schools in Orange County CA
Understand what kind of driving lessons you need and your general goals for the driver's education process. Check agency Web sites, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the Better Business Bureau for information about driving schools with proper licensing and the best reputation for customer satisfaction.
Step 2: Q & A for the Driving Schools in Orange County
Ask all questions that you may have about the driver's education and instruction process. Also, be open to questions that the driving instructors may ask of you. Here are some examples that may help you determine which are the best driving schools in Orange County for you.
What is the status of the driving schools licensing? And the individual driving instructors?
How long does the driver education last? The behind-the-wheel portion of the driving lessons?
How long have the driving instructors been giving lessons?
What is the pass/fail rate for the driving test with student drivers who have used those driving schools?
Do the driving schools offer group or private driving lessons?
How long is each driving lesson and how much do they cost at each of the driving schools?
How do the driving schools determine pricing?
What type of vehicle is used for training at each of the driving schools?
What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy at each of the driving schools?
Step 3: Make a Preliminary Decision Among Driving Schools in Orange County
Now that you have some basic information about a few good driving schools in Orange County, compare the results of your interviews of the driving instructors. When you make a decision, keep in mind that, according to the DMV, "All driving schools and driving instructors should be professional, courteous, respectful, and emphasize safety and integrity." With this in mind, narrow down your list of candidate driving schools in Orange County.
Step 4: Final Research on Driving Schools
Check with agencies such as the Better Business Bureau, the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and Diamond Certified to verify the driving schools licensing, insurance, and other credentials.
Step 5: Make the Final Decision Among the Good Driving Schools
Call for any final questions of the driving instructors and then ask representatives of the driving school to provide a written and signed pricing, quality, and warranty agreement for all driving lessons or driving instruction.
Tips on Driving Schools in Orange CountyWork Toward a Specific Goal With The Driving Lessons
People attend driving schools for several different reasons. What do you want to get out of it? There are different curricula for different goals, such as provisional licensing, commercial licensing, or motorcycle licensing. When you're choosing among driving schools in Orange County, see that they can offer a course that corresponds to your intentions.
Take Time Choosing Among Driving Schools in Orange County.
Learn more about potential driving schools in Orange County than their costs and schedules. Quality varies among driving instructors, and different driving schools have varying success rates. If you devote a little time to research these factors, your final decision on driving lessons will yield much better results.
Play the Field Among Driving Schools
Look closely at several different good driving schools in Orange County. You'll get an idea of the cost of the driving lessons and you'll get the change to speak briefly with the driving instructors whom you would be working with. Consider this your first cut.
Get Everything in Writing From The Driving Schools.
Good driving schools in Orange County should provide you with a written agreement for the driving lessons before you attend classes for driving instruction. Keep this for your personal records as well as the documentation you need to present to the DMV.
Check Credentials of the Driving Schools.
Before you sign up, verify business licensing and liability insurances of the driving schools. Also, make sure the individual driving instructors are properly trained and DMV certified.
Don't Sacrifice Your Priorities When It Comes To Driving Lessons
Find candidate driving schools in Orange County that have classroom instruction that fits your schedule (it can often be 3-5 days) and, if needed, driving instructors that can pick you up from school, work, or home for behind-the-wheel training.
Be Fair With the Driving Instructors.
If a scheduling conflict should arise, don't hesitate to tell the driving instructors. Your slot for driving lessons is reserved ahead of time, which prevents the driving schools from scheduling anyone else with that driving instructor. Many driving schools will be happy to offer make-up days for student drivers who have missed classroom driving instruction. Simply ask, and different arrangements can likely be made.
Be a Responsible Student Driver.
Check your progress periodically, ask what needs improvement and be open to suggestions. That's what the driving instructors are there for!
Know Your Rights With Driving Schools in Orange County CA.
If you run into any problems with the driving instructors or the driving schools in general, the State is watching out for you. Legal protection varies by region, and as a resident of Orange County, information that applies to you can be found at the Web site for California Department of Motor Vehicles.

OGC member Circles and select vendors will raise money for the Orlando Garden Club and individual circle projects by selling handmade crafts and plants. Educational materials are also featured to better acquaint the public with the goals of the Orlando Garden Club, plant care, conservation issues, and other relevant topics.
Donations, Scholarships and Community Service
The Orlando Garden Club and its member circles contribute funds and useful items to a variety of charitable and educational organizations and causes including, but not limited to: University of Florida, Wekiva Youth Camp, Audubon Society, Nature Conservancy, House of Hope, Ronald McDonald House, Russell Home, St. Vincent de Paul, Primrose School, Lakeside Alternatives, and the Mustard Seed.
Garden Therapy and Junior Gardening
Volunteers from the Orlando Garden Club work with patients at residential facilities and as advisers to public school programs to engage in activities involving planting, conservation, flower arranging and crafts. Through this interaction the club hopes to promote healing and learning, as well as encouraging others to be involved with nature and gardening.
High School Gardening and SEEK
Many OGC Circles sponsor high school students in projects relating to horticulture, flower arranging and ecology, and send students to summer study programs through the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs' SEEK project (Save the Earth's Environment through Knowledge).
Wekiva Youth Camp
By granting scholarships and encouraging sponsorship, Circles of the OGC help send local children to the beautiful Camp Wekiva for summer fun and environmental education activities. The camp, owned by the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, is located in Wekiva State Park. Some OGC members serve as volunteer counselors and instructors to work with the 3rd to 8th grade students during the summer.
Grounds and Patio
Each year the patio chairperson supervises patio maintenance by the circles during assigned months. Each Circle will provide helpers during assigned months. Don't miss an opportunity to have fun with your Circle members.
Families, Parks and Recreation Department
OGC Liaison, coordinates public events with the other entities in Loch Haven Park at the FPRD meetings.
The Membership Committee seeks to increase the number of new members by providing informational pamphlets about the Orlando Garden Club which are always available in the Clubhouse to renters and prospective new members. Information tables are set up at flower shows and fund-raisers to inform the public of the Club's goals and encourage new members to join the Club.

Puri Taman Sari does not only offer a comfortable and peaceful rural accommodation, but also a spiritual center. It has a venue for meditation, yoga and treatment. Supported by pristine environment and surrounded by verdant rice fields, it can exude a positive aura. Puri Taman Sari is located at Umabian village, Marga subdistrict, Tabanan County or around 18 km north of Tabanan. Jero Mangku Made Subur Harta said that Puri Taman Sari indeed provided spiritual tour. This place had the spiritual aura that could evoke a magical atmosphere of the Mengwi kingdom era in ancient times. Such yoga venue was considered haunted because it was located in the area of teledu nginyah seng kauh namely a tributary of three large rivers where in the belief of Balinese Hindu it was a haunted place inhabited by supernatural beings.
At the location also lies a Dalem Tungkub Temple namely a special temple for those favoring to get involved in spirituality and it always exudes positive aura. Many tourists choose the location to practice yoga, meditation or other spiritual activities. Afterward, they are predicted by name, hands, chakra and aura to read their problems. Then, they are invited to take purificatory rite to cleanse the negative aura and do pilgrimage to some temples. The yoga activity offered is of the Sivananda tradition. Basically, its movements are almost the same as other tradition, but the emphasis is given on the breath, power and flexibility of the body. "This yoga applies triangle breath. There is also a pastrika pranayama or fast breathing and kapalabhati or abdominal breathing," he said.
Yoga activity is commenced by practicing pastrika pranayama. After that, it is resumed with light movement. Two minutes later, the Sivananda tradition is combined with triangle breathing method. About an hour later, participants are taken to perform bending movement. "If participants can do the bending movement, it means they also have flexural mind," he said. After practicing yoga, it is resumed with savasana relaxation where condition of the body sleeps like the dead (sava) for 10 minutes. The next is practicing kapalabhati for some 2-3 minutes and meditating about 5-10 minutes. After that, participants are taken to Prana Wellness Center of the Puri Taman Sari Umabian. There, participants are given herbal drink specially prepared in accordance with the Taru Premana palm-leaf manuscript. The ingredients in use are gotu kola leaf, star fruit leaf and Balinese orange.
Remaining in spiritual tourism, the participants are also invited to get to know about Balinese culture such as preparing oblation, bamboo and coconut leaf plaiting, cooking and preparing ritual cake where all participants are putting on Balinese customary attires. Besides, the participants are also given an insight on Balinese astrology, dancing and playing gamelan. According to Jero Mangku, based on guest comments, they really got a change after practicing yoga. Aside from getting relieved and fresh, their emotion was then cheerful and happy. "Indeed, in the first to third day they are crying and getting bored. But after entering the fifth day, they begin to feel the positive impact of yoga and even they come again," he explained while adding that tourists from Europe, the United States, Russia, Australia, Japan, Lebanon and Iran were very fond of taking the package.
