Anybody in any culture at any time in history has watched something being created and knows that things don't create themselves. The same distinctive design features in human-designed things are clearly seen in humans and other organisms; thus, they too must have had a Creator.
Clearly Seen: Constructing Solid Arguments for Design is possibly the first creation book devoted to training Christians on the best methods to explain intelligent design. Written by medical doctor and professional engineer Randy Guliuzza, it provides a step-by-step teaching guide for using the living things that the Lord Jesus has made as a witness to His reality
and capably unwraps their astounding designs as a witness for His engineering genius. This book also contains a special section of questions and answers that can be used in classrooms, small groups, or your own personal study.
Clearly Seen: Constructing Solid Arguments for Design confirms the biblical truth that design in the created things is clearly seen by everyone (Romans 1:18-20).

College Hockey:Solid Buckeyes Finish Weekend Sweep Of Falcons
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes (4-6-1; 4-4-2 CCHA) used a solid performance from freshman goaltender Joseph Palmer, coupled with a strong defensive stand and penalty kill as they cruised past the Bowling Green Falcons, 4-1, at the BG Ice Arena on Saturday night.
Palmer stopped 20 of the 21 shots he saw, finishing up the weekend sweep en route to Perani Cup first-star honors, backstopping the Buckeyes to their first road sweep of the season against a struggling Falcon squad.
The sweep was a big one in the eyes of the freshman.
"The past two weekends at home, we've only taken one point," said Joseph. "It was definitely a confidence-builder for us. We came down here knowing we could win and expecting to win, and that was big."
Buckeye coach John Markell was equally pleased with the performance of his team this weekend.
"It's been a long time since we've swept," he said. "The kids that played tonight, they came to play. Bowling Green came out and played the way we thought they were going to play. We had to play hard in order to get those points."
The penalty kill played a key factor in the Ohio State victory; the Buckeyes killed all seven power plays they faced, including a two-minute five-on-three in the opening period.
"I thought we had good stickwork," said Markell. "We were winning some of the one-on-one battles down below. We were all moving as a unit. It wasn't just one guy moving. All four guys were moving [on the penalty-kill]."
Bowling Green coach Scott Paluch was happy with the effort his team gave in the first two periods, trailing the Buckeyes just 1-0 at that point, but thought they faltered in the third.
"We were in pretty good shape going into the third period. I don't think we did a great job of getting enough pucks deep in the 3rd period; consequently, we turned the puck over a little bit. We had some chances in the first two [periods], but we didn't give ourselves enough chances in the third."
Paluch was disappointed in his team's power play. The Falcons have converted on just two of their last 57 power-play opportunities.
"We didn't win enough faceoffs on the power play. We lost too many draws, and we're starting too many power plays back in our own end. We did some good things, but I want our power play much further along than it is right now."
Saturday's contest was a much tighter one, compared with 9-3 drubbing the Buckeyes put on the Falcons last night. The finale of the series was a one-goal game into the third period. The Falcons stayed within striking distance until the last minute of the game, when an empty-net goal by Sean Collins helped to give the Buckeyes the sweep.
The Buckeyes got on the board first with a rebound goal off the stick of senior Matt Waddell. Right wing Zach Pelletier got the initial shot off from the right circle, a wrister through traffic. Bowling Green goaltender Jimmy Spratt could not control the rebound and Waddell was there to slide it through the five-hole for his first goal of the year. The goal came at 9:39 of the opening period.
The Buckeyes lit the lamp again in the opening minutes of the third period. Junior defenseman Kyle Hood wristed a shot from inside the blue line that found its way through traffic and past the outstretched glove of Spratt for his first goal of the year. The marker came at 2:49 of the period and was assisted by Domenic Maiani.
"Hood is a utility guy for us. He got thrown in there when [Kevin] Montgomery went down with a concussion. He's got the ability to walk the line like that."
John Dingle gave the Buckeyes a two-goal cushion once again at 14:58 of the final period. Dingle was able to find his way around center Jonathan Matsumoto to flip a shot over the goaltender's glove from the left circle. The goal was Dingle's fourth of the year and was assisted by Collins.
The Falcons got on the board just over a minute later. Junior defenseman Michael Hodgson took a nifty pass from Todd McIlrath just outside the crease and banged it home for his first goal of the year. John Mazzei also assisted.
Just seconds after BG pulled the goalie for an extra attacker, Collins cleared the puck off the boards in his own end; the puck then caromed toward the empty net to finish out the Ohio State scoring.
Spratt stopped 25 of the 28 shots he saw on the night.
Neither team scored on the power play. The Buckeyes went 0 for 5 with the man-advantage, while the Falcons (3-8-1; 1-7-0 CCHA) were shut out in seven attempts.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is planning a five-year Essential Habitat Review for Highly Migratory Species of fish in the Atlantic Ocean. NMFS is announcing the review in the Federal Register of Monday, March 24.
The review is required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. NMFS will use the findings to review and amend fishery management plans if needed.
NMFS is requesting people with information about such habitats to contact it by May 23.
It wants to know about matters such as where the fish live, fishing and other activities that can harm the habitats, conservation efforts, any areas of particular concern, what further research and information may be needed, conservation and enhancement, etc.
Current management plans are based on the 2006 consolidated plan, which was amended in 2009 and 2010 by plans for roundscale spearfish ans smoothhound sharks.
Read about the effort at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-03-24/html/2014-06379.htm.

"Organic" is everywhere. It is on the labels of salads, meats, and even snack food. It is on many different restaurant menus. However, the FDA's rules for labeling something "organic" are vague and sometimes products' labels mislead consumers. In some ways, the only way to ensure that one's food is organic is to know exactly where and how the food is grown. In comes the "local-vore"(sometimes called "locavore) movement, which focuses on buying locally-grown, organic produce.
Urban Acres is a part of the Dallas local-vore and certifiably-organic movement. While it may be considered "out of the way" for some located in the suburbs of Dallas, I found that the products carried in the Urban Acres Farm Store in Oak Cliff were well worth the trip. Since I was not familiar with the area, it took me a while to find it. Of course, this was mostly due to my poor sense of direction as they have a perfectly visible vinyl sign over their doorway.
Once in, I bought a few necessary items such as milk and cheese that was produced locally from grass-fed cows, and organic root beer. One really nice addition is that most of their displays tell customers about the product, including where it is from.
Urban Acres is a co-op in which members pay a $50 annual fee, a one-time $12 bin fee and a choice of full share $50 or half share $25 every other week. Becoming a member gives you access to "chalkboards sales," and certain local produce items not found in the Urban Acres Farm Store. Also, it saves time because you don't have to drive to the supermarket, pick out which produce, meats and other items you will need for the week, and drive home. Instead, members can pick up their bins each week from any of the Urban Acres Farm Stand locations or the Urban Acres Farm Store.
Urban Acres Farm Stands are located in Addison, Irving, White Rock Lake and Park Cities. Currently, the only Urban Acres Farm Store is located at 1301 B West Davis St. but plans for more Farm Stores are in the works.
If you don't want to become a member, you can check out the Urban Acres Farm Store since it is open to anyone. The store is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 9am-7pm and Sundays from noon-5pm. When shopping at Urban Acres, keep in mind that they only accept cash or check. Also, it is a good idea to check out their website, www.urbanacresmarket.com. There you will not only find out information on how to join the co-op and directions to their Farm Stands and Store, but you will also find recipes on how to cook products offered by Urban Acres.

MEDINA — The wife of a Montville Township man accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls testified Thursday that the girls were lying.
Darla Shank, who is married to Patrick J. Shank, 45, of 5170 Chippewa Road, said, "I wouldn't be here right now if I believed any of them."
Patrick Shank faces four third-degree felony counts: two each of sexual battery and unlawful sexual contact with a minor. He is also charged with two counts of contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a minor, which are first-degree misdemeanors.
Three women testified Tuesday and Wednesday that Patrick Shank had sex with them against their will, sometimes while they were drunk with alcohol he provided. They were 13, 16 and 18 when the encounters occurred in 2008, they said. Some of them said that they were afraid to tell anyone about Shank's assaults because he owned guns.
Darla Shank, however, told the jury that the girls were lying about the sexual assaults and that there was "absolutely no" time when any minors were given alcohol in her home. She also said some of the women who said her husband assaulted them never even stayed the night at the Shank home.
One of the women who testified Tuesday said that Darla and Pat Shank would give their four children "night pills" to help them sleep. The girl, 17, of York Township, testified that the children had taken those pills on the nights Shank forced her to have sex with him from 2008 to 2010.
On the stand Thursday, Darla Shank said there were no sleeping pills in the house.
Her testimony echoed that of Dr. David Mansour, the family's physician, who testified Wednesday that he never prescribed such medication.
The prosecution, however, produced a document stating Darla Shank had been receiving a prescription for Ambien, a sleep agent, from her gynecologist since at least 2010.
Darla Shank later clarified that she thought the question pertained to the timeframe of her husband's accused crimes.
Darla Shank, who works nights as a nurse, said her children always kept her informed of what was happening at home. She said there always was supervision, so there was no way the prosecution's accusations could be true.
Several witnesses testified this week that underage drinking was common in the Shank household.
One woman said Wednesday that Shank tried to seduce her while she was there to play a drinking game in 2011. She said Shank's youngest son, who was 9 or 10, was asleep on the bed at the time.
The prosecution asked Darla Shank how the woman could have known the boy slept in his parents' bed if that never happened. She replied the woman could have seen the boy there while using the bathroom.
The prosecution provided a photo of the woman in question and Patrick Shank playing drinking games.
Darla Shank said she wasn't sure the photo was taken in her home.
Six character witnesses — neighbors and family friends — also testified Thursday and said Patrick Shank was a loving and responsible husband and father. All of them said they had never been offered alcohol at the Shank home when younger than age 21. They also said they never saw Shank make inappropriate comments toward minors.
One of the witnesses, Kayla Thurman, 20, of Cleveland, said she never saw teens drinking alcohol at parties. The prosecution showed Thurman photos in which she, Shank and alcohol are present.
The defense rested its case Thursday. Patrick Shank did not testify.
Closing arguments are expected today. The trial resumes at 10 a.m.

Is sending tenant certified mail at work re rental property considered harassment?
Posted 04 February 2013 - 06:08 PM
Posted 04 February 2013 - 08:17 PM
They are three months behind in their rent and we are considering evicting them.
Three months behind and you are just only "considering" eviction. Yikes!
When I owned rentals, one day late and they got a pay or quit notice. And once that deadline past (7 days here in AZ) I was down at the courthouse filing eviction.
If you don't start playing hardball with those deadbeats, you'll be another three months without the rent money.
As for the question in your post title, no, it's not harassment. You get the notice to him in whatever way works. Including going to the house and handing it to him in front of witnesses.
In case you never bothered looking, here's the NC landlord tenant statutes.
Study up.
There are rules and procedures you have to follow. Otherwise they stay and don't pay.
Warning: Legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here are simplified and might not fully explain the ramifications of your particular issue. I am not a lawyer. I do not give legal advice. I make comments based on my knowledge and experience. I guarantee nothing. If you act on my comments without the advice of an attorney, you do so at your own risk.

Our tenant's wife is VERY protective of him and highly unstable to boot.
Sounds like both are your tenants.
They are three months behind in their rent and we are considering evicting them.
Three months behind and you're only "considering" evicting them?
We would like to be sure husband (whose name is also on the lease) knows what is happening in time for him to correct problems and save their home if he wants to as there is a child involved.
What would make you think he doesn't know that he hasn't paid the rent in three months?
I guess the question in the subject header of your post is the only question you want answered, but it's not clear what that question means. If you read enough posts on boards like these, you'll see that some folks "consider" some of the silliest things to be "harassment." Certainly, the sending of a single letter is not going to meet any legal definition of the term "harassment."
If you have some reason to believe that the wife has concealed the non-payment of rent from the husband (e.g., if the wife routinely pay the rent from an account that he husband doesn't monitor -- although I'm not sure why you would have reason to know how this family internally handles its finances) and want to communicate directly with the husband, why not visit him in person or stop him while he's entering or leaving the leased premises or call him at work?
That said, the longer you let this go, the less likely you'll recover the unpaid rent or any significant chunk of it. My recommendation would be to start by giving the legally required eviction notice. That oughta get hubby's attention.

Fun and games -- that was the theme of this year's inaugural Culinary Carnival held at Eleven XI this past Sunday afternoon, an event benefitting Pulse at St. Luke's Hospital. Though the afternoon was a scorcher, spirits were high as competing chefs came up with versions of food on a stick to impress judges and the 400-plus attendees.
Host team Eleven XI set the tone for the event with elaborate carnival costumes and face paint. General manager Joseph Wellborn was the ring leader, who wore coattails and a top hat. Mixologist Anna Large's costume went well with her Finlandia cocktail, made with nitro-spun ice cream that she mixed in small batches and topped with buttered popcorn and butterscotch liqueur. There was a balloonist walking the grounds making colorful balloon hats and animals. And of course, there was plenty of nosh on a stick.
That was the main challenge of the afternoon for the chefs who were participating. Who could come up with the tastiest, most creative food on a stick?
It certainly could have been Gastropunk Food Truck's Belgian chocolate covered bacon on stick, a messy, sticky, stick-to-your-face dessert-like creation that had me walking around with chocolate stains on my face until someone told me to wipe them off. Rolled in a mixture of nuts and spicy cayenne pepper, it was sweet and salty, fun and tasty, making me feel like a kid in a candy store. Two thumbs up, I say.
Then there were the fried creations, including Teddy Lopez of Killen's Steakhouse' puffed lobster beignet (he had a second offering of wagyu meatloaf on a stick), and soon-to-be opening Midtown concept called Oporto Fooding House & Wine's deep-fried "Lobster bombos" -- essentially lobster arancini that oozed with mozzarella cheese when you bit into it.
For meat on the stick, you couldn't beat Jett Hurapan of Songkran Thai Kitchen's beef chunks swathed in green Thai curry. To make them, the skewers of meat had been threaded ahead of time, then dipped into a large earthenware bowl filled with the curry, like you would with fondue.
Michael Pellegrino of Max's Wine Dive's elk meatballs stuffed with foie gras, which were seared on the grill and served piping hot with some dried cranberries, were pretty fantastic, a reason why I helped myself to seconds in spite of the heat, washing it down with a sampling of Buffalo Bayou's refreshing summer beer.
Not to be outdone, Donald Chang of Nara Sushi & Korean Kitchen did a mouthwatering Black Canyon Angus Ribeye beef rolls stuffed with avocado, smothered in teriyaki glaze, and finished off with tempura crisps. The sign at his table said "Yeah, a taste of heaven on a stick," and I have no argument with that.
Offering people a taste of street food from homeland, Latin Bites' chef Roberto Castre brought his own grill, where he was making Peruvian anticuchos -- beef hearts on a stick, served with potato, choclo, and a colorful trio of sauces. Said chef David Cordua of the Cordua Restaurant Group: "They are pretty awesome."
But seriously, there was a ton of awesomeness happening at the Culinary Carnival, including Cordua's beautifully presented versions of ceviche on a stick on top of a fried risotto ball. He offered two versions of his newest ceviches -- one with ahi tuna, and one with salmon -- each stick standing upward from a small wooden block.
Susie Jimenez of Trenza took home the People's Choice Prize with her mixed seafood ceviche and avocado mousse offering, while the winner of the afternoon-- awarded by a panel of judges -- was Gabriel Medina of Soma.
I visited his booth too late, so he'd completely run out of food by the time I got there, but it's quite obvious that his kurobata corndogs were a crowd and a judge pleaser, and no wonder: To make them, Medina braised the kurobata pork dogs in Sapporo beer and miso before deep frying them in a batter of shisito and corn. They were topped with takoyaki toppings.
Rounding out the chef participants were Ryan Hildebrand of Triniti, Rishi Singh of Bar Boheme, Steven Ripley of D&T Drive Inn, Soren Pedersen of Currant Kitchen, and Michael Vigo of Compass Group.
On the libation front, Millenium Tequila was on hand with vodka on the rocks, while Buffalo Bayou Brewery offered tastings of two of their beers. A wonderful group of mixologists were also participating with carnival themed cocktails, including an snow cone cocktail, a Finlandia caramel apple cocktail; a chicken and waffle themed ice cream cocktail topped with chicken skin cracklins by Sheridan Faye of El Big Bad; a sweet 'n spicy mango margarita James Watkins of the Cordua Group; and more. Of these, Anna Large of Eleven Eleven's Finlandia vodka-spiked buttered popcorn ice cream drink beat out competitors as the People's Choice favorite.

The Polish beauty came to recognition in October 2006, when she opened the Jean Paul Gaultier show during Paris Fashion Week. Right after, Models.com featured Frackowiak as a top model of Spring 2007.
During 2007, Frackowiak took part in fashion shows in New York, Paris and Milan. She walked for Luca Luca, Pucci, J. Mendel and Sue Stemp, but also for A-list designers such as Cavalli, Nina Ricci and Balenciaga.
It seems like Frackowiak got to the top of fashion industry only in 2008. In the beginning of that year she stunned on the catwalks of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, when she walked for Armani Prive', Valentino, Dior, Givenchy, Chanel and Gaultier.
In 2010, Frackowiak reached another goal in her career: she walked the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Magdalena Frackowiak managed to run a very successful modeling career one season after another. She gains more achievements and recognition as time goes by. In a world that cherishes youth and new faces, this is not a simple thing to do.
Ralph Lauren is the first top designer who wanted Magdalena Frackowiak as the face of his brand. It was in 2007, and ever since, the Polish model posed for lots of other campaigns. In 2008, she signed another contract with Lauren, and at the same time became the face of Alessandro DellA'cqua. The following year she became the face of Kenzo. During 2010, Frackowiak posed for Lanvin and in 2011 she was chosen as one of the faces of Blumarine.
Magdalena Frackowiak also signed fragrance contracts with top designers. She was on the billboards of Gianfranco Ferré in The Mood for Love (2009) and Givenchy Eaudemoiselle (2010).
Magdalena Frackowiak loves her job. Though she has a hard time during fashion week seasons, she enjoys working with the designers, photographers and her fellow models. When she is off the catwalk, Frackowiak likes to hang out with family and friends such as doing some shopping and exercise.

It's been another eventful free agency day for the New Orleans Saints.
As you already know, if you've received your daily dose of Larry Holder, the Saints this morning locked up Zach Strief for five years. We also learned that the Saints are possibly interested in free agent wide receiver Sidney Rice, according to a published report.
As usual, there has been no shortage of opinion on what the Saints have done or what they are rumored to be doing.
Have a look at what some fans are saying and share your thoughts in the comment stream below.
Noooooo!!!! Why would be express interest in a guy who can only play half a season at best? Sidney Rice is a joke. Reminds me of Donte Stallworth, and look how his career turned out...
I've been thinking this for a while. I was going back and forth with this. On one hand IF he stays healthy he could really help. Does he still have speed??? What kind of money is he asking for??? That's a really big IF though. On the other hand there are several WR in the draft
Hmm. Doesn't seem like a good fit to me at all. Is he really cheaper than Lance Moore? Certainly can't be more dependable.
good to hear, even if we have to extend him a few more years, keep it guaranteed and low so he gets paid even if he is a backup in 2 years. Good guy for the team. May need him to play guard in 2015 if we don't get grubbs or evans to redo. No way we pay them both that much after this year.
Good signing... Might have been the highest rated pass blocking Rt in the league last year. If Strief gets a little dog in him with the run game he could be close to elite.
I'm surprised at the length of the contract, was figuring on a 2-year deal, but in retrospect when you consider Strief didn't play much his first 5 years he's a "young" 30-year-old tackle. Do the years force players into retirement or the snaps taken during those years? The question now is how many of those 5 years will he actually play for the team? If he stays healthy and if he plays at a high level he'll probably see at least 3 of them. At that point all the guaranteed money will be probably already in his pocket, and if the contract is backloaded, which it probably is, the team will have to weigh not just his performance on the field, but also the salary cap implications of replacing him with a younger player.
Other than his football ability, what I really like about Zach is he WANTED to stay in NOLA.

After getting off to his finest season in his Major League Soccer career, Real Salt Lake forward Joao Plata was rewarded for his efforts. The national team in Plata's home country of Ecuador called up the diminutive firebrand on Mon. Aug. 25 for two friendlies.
Both games are against CONMEBOL foes Brazil and Bolivia--and both games will take place in the United States, meaning Plata won't have to rack up as many frequent flier miles. The end goal for Plata obviously is to impress coaches enough with his scoring punch so that he can make the team's Copa America 2015 roster.
Plata is certainly racking up goals. He already has 11 on the year in 18 starts, averaging putting one in the net two-thirds of the time he's on the field. Real Salt Lake will undoubtedly miss the spark Plata provides on offense--but he'll only miss one game against FC Dallas during his stint with Ecuador's national team.
His productivity likely got the attention of an Ecuadorian side that finished fourth overall in CONMEBOL qualifying for the 2014 World Cup. Once the team qualified in Brazil, the Ecuadorians went nowhere, finishing third in a brutal group behind Switzerland and France.
Since that time, Ecuador has hired an interim coach named Sixto Vizuete and he's already shaking things up on the team's roster. Plata is the only American-based player to make Ecuador's roster for its games against Brazil and Bolivia.
These caps will not mark the first time that Plata has seen action in his home country's uniform though. He last played for Ecuador in 2011 in a friendly in Toronto, home to his former MLS club, Toronto FC.

While we don't know the release date to the upcoming 1.8 update for Minecraft, we do know that there are two main themes the update will revolve around. One of the two themes in 1.8 is aimed at serious mapmakers and the other is for those who prefer the survival aspect of the mining simulator.
In this article, we will be taking a look at the brand new slash commands implemented in the upcoming 1.8 update for the map-making creative folk that continue to make Minecraft impressive and relevant to this day.
New commands:
- /blockdata - This command modifies the NBT data at a specific coordinate. As such, it can change the contents of any chest in the game.
- /clone - This command clones up to 4096 blocks in a given area and places them somewhere else, as specified by the player.
- /execute - This command allows commands to run from the position of a specified entity.
- /entitydata - This command works similarly to /blockdata but it can also be targeted to entities other than players.
- /fill - This command fills in a given volume with up to 32768 of the specified blocks.
- /particle - This command spawns specified particles in an area.
- /replaceitem <entity|block> ... - This command can replace items in any inventory in the game, including the inventories of mobs.
- /stats <entity|block> ... - This command updates a scoreboard objective based on the number of entities and/or blocks that have been affected by the command.
- /testforblocks - This command compares two areas of a world to one another.
- /title - This command makes some text display on a players screen in the form of a title and/or subtitle using JSON.
- /trigger - This command functions the same way as the /scoreboard players set or /scoreboard players add commands, but it can only modify objectives with the trigger criteria.
- /worldborder - This command is used to set size the size of the world's border.
The /clone and /fill commands will prove especially useful in the rapid development of new creations. They've been used in popular mods for years, but it's great to see them be officially implemented in the game. Do you see any commands that make you excited for Minecraft update 1.8?

College Hockey:Montoya, Wolverines Rebound After Showcase Losses
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — No. 5 Michigan bounced back from its embarrassing sweep at the hands of Minnesota and Wisconsin in the College Hockey Showcase with a 6-1 win over Notre Dame on Friday night.
The Wolverines' performance on home ice was not as dominating as the score would indicate, but they methodically converted on their opportunities and killed six of seven Irish power plays, including two five-on-threes.
"It was a lot closer than 6-1," Notre Dame head coach Dave Poulin said. "We have to capitalize on our opportunities. We had some real good opportunities — two empty nets when (goalie) Al (Montoya) was out of his net — and we have capitalize on those chances."
Michigan defenseman Eric Werner tallied his second game winning goal of the season midway through the first period with a slapshot from the right circle.
The shot went under a sliding Notre Dame defender and past goalie Mike Brown, but it was two Wolverine goals in the second that really turned the tide.
With Michigan up 2-1 and on the power play, senior Milan Gajic drew the defense to the right corner before feeding junior Brandon Kaleniecki, who beat Brown high on the glove-hand side.
Only a few minutes later and just seconds after another Michigan power play expired, freshman Chad Kolarik forced the puck between Brown's right pad and the left post to give Michigan a comfortable 4-1 lead. Brown was pulled after the goal in favor of senior Morgan Cey.
"I thought when it was 2-1 we were right where we needed to be," Poulin said. "Then we gave up a couple of power plays and they scored on both of them. They're a talented, skilled team and you can't give them opportunities."
Michigan pounced on the deflated Irish in the third period and added two more goals, the first by Gajic and the second by defenseman Brandon Rogers. Gajic received a pass in the slot and faked Brown to the right before easily depositing the puck behind him on the backhand. Rogers fired a slapshot from the left point that beat Cey to the right.
"The game went our way," Berenson said. "We got the bounces when it was 2-1, then (3-1). Those were important goals. If they that next goal on a couple of point shots that got through, then it's a different game.
"(Special teams are) still an issue. Our penalty killing got through the game. I think we gave up a goal and we scored a goal. But, I can't tell you it was a really good night for either one."
What did please Berenson was the play of Montoya, who gave up a combined seven goals in the two Showcase games last week.
"He was rock-solid," Berenson said. "You could see a bounce-back mentality in his game right from the first save. He had to make some saves in this game. It wasn't a 6-1 (type) game."
The return to Yost was also positive for sophomore T.J. Hensick, who was benched by Berenson for the Wisconsin game due to poor play away from the puck and in the defensive end.
Hensick rebounded by opening the scoring with a dazzling, top-shelf goal off a loose puck. Hensick grabbed the puck from the top of the right circle and made his way to the slot unchecked. From there, the sophomore playmaker baited Irish defenseman Joe Zurenko and Brown to the left side before shooting high and right.
"I liked his play," Berenson said of his budding superstar. "I liked the way he bounced back. He played with some serious authority. He had one of the best hits in the first period, a goal and he was competing hard. You can see the kind of player he is when does that."
After Werner's goal put the Wolverines up 2-0, Irish winger Michael Bartlett corralled a Montoya rebound and put a slapper past the New York Rangers' draftee.
Up to that point, Notre Dame's forecheck and physical play had been effective in limiting Michigan's scoring chances. It wasn't until the third, when the game was out of reach, that Michigan padded its 34-22 advantage in shots on goal with 18 in the period.
The true test for the Wolverines will come Saturday night, when they travel to South Bend for the rematch. The Irish knocked off then-No.1 Boston College at the Joyce Center earlier this year.
"How you play on the road dictates your season," Berenson said. "I don't think there are many teams in college or pro hockey that have a better road record than a home record. That's the challenge: to be as good on the road or as close to as good as you are at home. Tomorrow night's game will be their home game and we will be tested."
For the Irish, it is a matter of cashing in on their scoring chances.
"I didn't feel like we were set back by the crowd tonight," Poulin said. "I've been in this building when we've lost games and I've felt like 'Oh no, the wave is coming.' I didn't feel like that tonight. I thought our guys handled the crowd fine tonight."

Shari Ellen Wolf Boraz
Shari Boraz has a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she majored in textile design.
Despite the fact that Shari has been involved in fiber arts since the 1970s, she sees herself as an artist who happens to work in fiber. Her primary media is hand-embroidery on natural textiles, and/or textiles that she has either hand-dyed or digitally created. Though her art is presented as 2-dimensional wall art, she attempts to capture the 4th dimension of time, or the progression of time, rather than a snapshot.
Boraz designs as she sews, constantly taking into account the visual impact both near and far. The end product is meant to be striking from a distance, yet intimate when viewed up close. Her goal is to attract the observer to the art by using color and composition, prompting the viewer to wonder about what they are seeing, and then ideally, to provoke them towards their own creativity.
She often uses the French knot stitch by mixing complementary threads, creating a vibrating pointillist effect inspired by Georges-Pierre Seurat. In addition to using a variety of embroidery stitches and color combinations, she employs weaving techniques to create nuanced coloration.
Shari has exhibited her work in juried and invitational exhibitions across the country and abroad. She is a member of the Textile Society of America, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and the AVA Gallery and Art Center.

The Kochs' Double Whammy
How the failed effort to recall Scott Walker shows why progressives are not fit to be elected, ever
Leftovers on the interwebs are complaining about how Scott Walker allegedly outspent his opponents 7 to 1, and how 64% of his money came from outside the state.
Now as we watch Obama raise millions at $40,000 dinners where the donors are all either from Manhattan or Los Angeles (or who really live in Italy or France when not working in Hollywood), which he then uses to campaign in the other 48 states, we might wonder if the leftovers know what percentage of their recall effort's money (and in kind contributions) came from outside of the state.
We might want to point out to them that they are the ones who started the recall effort, thematized it, and nationalized it.
But even aside from all that let's do some arithmetic, since Democrats have proven they can't balance a budget or do simple math: if 64% of your money is from outside the state, 36% was donated locally. And 36% of 7 is 2.52. So local Wisconsin residents donated 2.52 times as much to defeat the recall as all of the pro-recall pro-regressives, both inside and outside of Wisconsin, donated.
The products of government schools do not have the skills needed to be citizens or function in a modern market economy. Without government make work sinecures they'd be homeless. Hence their need to organize cartels to exploit the serfs.

Tired of watching the football game without having a clue what's going on?
Most women see football as a complex game with several layers of rules that make it difficult to follow along and while football can be a complex game, it can be exciting and thrilling time!
Learn these basics in this quick Football guide for Women so that you can follow along this season and actually enjoy it!
Overall Concept
The team that is trying to score has "possession of the ball" and is considered the offense. The other team, which is considered defense, is trying to stop the offensive team from scoring.
Sounds easy? Not quite! In football, there are offensive, defensive, and special teams which are all part of the same team. These teams handle different situations on the field so each time the ball moves to their opponent, a different team is needed.
For instance, when the KC Chiefs are trying to score a touchdown, they utilize their offensive players like Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe or Alex Smith. When the Chiefs are trying to stop the other team from scoring they utilize their defensive players like Eric Berry and Dontari Poe. If this isn't confusing enough, they have a special team that comes in to kick field goals and punt.
The team that gets their ball into the "End Zone" gets a touchdown which consists of 6 points. This happens by either the team running the ball into the end zone or by catching the ball in the end zone. After a touchdown the team has the choice of either kicking the ball between the goal post (located at the end zone) or they can line up at the 2 yard line and run or catch the ball in the end zone for 2 extra points.
If a team doesn't think they will make the touchdown they also have the option to kick a field goal (kicking the ball in between the goal post located at the end zone) which will give them 3 points.
Downs are the length of one play. Each time they start and stop, that is one play. The team with the ball has 4 chances to move the ball 10 yards. If they get 10 yards in a single play then they get 4 more chances, however if they don't get 10 yards in a single play, they are down a chance.
This sounds simple but it is not! Remember that defensive team? Well it's their job not to let this happen!
Still confused about downs? Or confused about odd lingo like what 3rd and 8, or 2nd and 3 means?
3rd is the number of downs AND 8 means the number of yards to go to get a first down.
If the team doesn't move 10 yards in 4 downs then the other team automatically gets the ball. Usually once a team gets to their 4th down, they either kick a field goal for the 3 points or they punt the ball so that it is further away from the other team's end zone.
There are 11 men from each team allowed on the field at one time. Here are their positions:
Center: In the center of the offensive line- Starts the play by "hiking" the ball to the quarterback. He is the one that has the ball on the ground between his legs and passes it backward, which is called the "snap".
Quarterback: Very important player to remember because he executes the plays the coach decides, or calls an "audible" if he thinks he needs to change the play on the field. He's the guy that catches that snap from the center. He either runs, throws, or hands off the ball.
Offensive guard: Positioned on either side of the center.
Offensive tackle: Positioned on either side of the guards.
Tight end: Plays next to the tackle
Wide receivers: Their job is to literally "get open" so that they can receive a pass down the field.
Running back: Runs the ball down the field.
Fullback: They do everything! They run, they block, AND they receive. (Talented guys aren't they?)
Nose guard: Positioned across from offensive team's center and block plays down the center of the field.
Defensive tackle: They rush the passer.
Defensive ends: Block plays on the outside edges
Linebacker: They do it all including covering the receivers and rushing the passers
Cornerback: Blocks the wide receivers
Safety: They are the defensive team's last line of defense! There are usually 2 safeties:
Strong safety: He is the stronger of the two and blocks runs
Free safety: He is the faster of the two and he blocks passes.
Special teams
There is another team that comes out just to kick, punt, get extra points, field goals, etc.
Overloaded yet!
Head to the next game with article saved in your phone and you should be able to at least keep up with the conversation. There is so much more to the exciting word of football that of course we couldn't fit it all in this article but Examiner.com hopes that you will be able to follow along, cheer, and celebrate with your favorite team this season!

Nov. 14, 2008
Mission Bay, Calif.-The 2008 PCCSC Women's Fall Championships were hosted this past weekend, November 8-9 by UC Irvine and UC San Diego. Sailed out of Mission Bay YC on Mission Bay, the weather on Saturday brought light to moderate winds and flat water wave conditions, which is typical weather for southern California this time of year on the small bay. On Sunday the weather was a different story: with winds ranging from 18-24 knots, many boats had trouble staying upright, and it was obvious to discern those with experience in the strong winds.
At the end of racing on Saturday, the Stanford women's team found themselves on top of the fleet with six races completed in A-division and five races completed in B-division. However, with merely a three point lead, the Cardinal left the door wide open with the next three teams in the standings within striking distance. With no throw outs, and multiple short-course races, the collegiate game is one of consistency in finishes, and every good college sailor knows that you cannot win the regatta on Saturday alone, but you can certainly lose it.
On Sunday, the team took advantage of the big breezes and slammed the door shut, once again defended their title as the Pacific Coast Conference powerhouse. Winning by a combined 21 points over ten races sailed in each division, the team never scored worse than a fourth place, and took first in six races. The team was especially proud of their "Cardinal Sunday," in which they improved upon Saturday's results and extended their lead, finishing the regatta with a win the final race of each division.
Sailing for the team was Taylor Grimes `09 skippering in A-division, with both Kelly McKenna `09 and Hayley Tobin '11 trading off on crew responsibilities. In B-division, skipper Hannah Burroughs '11 teamed up with Catherine Cu '09 to overcome a broken mast that crumbled in the big breeze of race seven and take the winning spot overall.
Final overall standings:
1. Stanford University
2. University of Hawaii
3. University of Southern California
4. UC Los Angeles
5. UC Irvine
6. UC Santa Barbara
7. UC San Diego
8. California Maritime Academy
9. CSU Monterey Bay
10. Chapman University
Up next is the North/South PCCSC Fall Championships hosted by UC Santa Barbara, in which the team will face the best coed teams from around the conference, as well as a couple east coast schools looking forward to take part of the west coast action in the warmer weather.

Taylor Swift performed her new hit, "Shake It Off," at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards. Unfortunately, she didn't impress "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans.
On Twitter, Evans is known for her outspoken antics, and after seeing Swift perform on Sunday, she didn't hesitate to reveal her thoughts -- and not just that. She even shared a link poking fun at the country singer.
According to an Aug. 27 report by Wetpaint Entertainment, Evans slammed Swift on Twitter, linking a page to her VMA "fail," and asking fans, "WTF Is Taylor Swift Doing?" When fans follow the link, they are taken to a page that includes several memes of Swift, both during her performance, on the red carpet and in the audience at the VMAs.
Swift has certainly been stepping out of her comfort zone as of late, both in her music and in her style, so it isn't surprising to hear that she has a critic -- she surely has many. However, Evans took her criticism one step further with her mean-spirited link.
Luckily, Swift doesn't follow Evans, and probably doesn't even know who she is. Otherwise, she may have been seriously hurt by the reality star's doing.

Why you guys like JVA? I don't follow it, so plead ignorance. Coffee At historical lows?
I un-ignored your posts today. Here i say it. No-one is perfect in this game. There will be days that I feel I make a complete mistake on my executions and have to live with the decision. Overall, I do Ok on my trades. And let's put differences behind and make money together.
To answer your question about Coffee: Why I buy it? Raw coffee is lowest in history. Currently the has cost=$1.47/Lb, retail=$6.00-$8.00/lb. As margin is improved (estimated up at 9% 2013 from 6.8% 2012). When revenue is at double digits, net earning will look good.
The company outstanding shares = 6M shares. 4.5M shares float. More than 1/2 of the float shares is shorted. As the sector has good news, the stock will move much higher than the current price.
Take care,
I suppose its a good drop in point. I should have bought as well, but I am looking for low 6's. I might start with 2-300 shares at 7 before getting heavy.
You probably got in at better price than I did. But we will make money together.
Take care,

It Comes and Goes in Waves
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
No, not the awesome sauce song by Greg Laswell. I go through points where I have no job leads... then like 2 or 3 call me at the same time and then I'm fluster - *obscene language* for a few weeks with what to do and it turns out that I get none of them anyway.
Today I signed tax papers for a position in a mall. Then they said they'd call me in sometime next week (I guess they are running a background check) to start. I get back home and I get a phone call for a Beverage packaging job in another city. They wanted to set up an interview and honestly... now that I have a job as holiday help, I feel the mall job will want me to start on the same day as my interview... I don't even know my schedule yet. I told them I could work any hours 1. to make myself more accessible, and 2. when I applied... I honestly had nothing going on. Things wait to happen until I commit myself to something more boring.
I know most of you are wondering... "why not just say that you can't work Monday if asked?" One reason is that I know as Christmas help I can be fired if I can't work. I need the money to be able to move in the first place! And I have nothing else to do so I'm just sitting here worrying about what's gonna happen. If I get offered the job I'll have to leave the job I just got offered, and probably right after training. The job I'm interviewing at thought I still lived in my college city because somehow my website still had the city listed (even though I hid location details) so when I said I'd need two weeks notice upon offer to start he seemed rather hesitant (what's with these people? They're too impatient!!!!!)
So a time in my life that's supposed to be care free and well has found a way to make me feel miserable. :-( I just feel I'm gonna get screwed over again and out of both positions given my luck. I don't even feel right rescheduling the interview because that can also look bad.

*hugs* With work, just know that the Lord goes before you in all that you do. So apply, commit, think things through, but when something falls through, or looks promising, know that you are cared for and loved and looked out for and if you stay in his plan it will always work out for the best. Be encouraged brother!

Awe, Hal, I'm sorry! When it rains, it pours! I don't have any fantastic advise to give you (although I wish I did!), but I will keep you in my prayers that everything turns out well for you! It is SO hard (that I completely understand... my family of 4 lived off of my husband's unemployment check for 2.5 stinkin' years!!), but God's plan always seems to work out in the end! Every time that we thought a door was being closed on my hubby, it turned out to actually be a path towards a better opportunity, and I sincerely hope the same is true for you!!

Box Score | UCLA Baseball on Facebook
Los Angeles, Calif. - Redshirt freshman catcher Justin Hazard hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the ninth-ranked UCLA Baseball team a 4-3 win over Utah and a series sweep of the Utes.
Sophomore David Berg earned the win for the Bruins, pitching another scoreless inning in relief to move to 6-0 on the year. Nick Green suffered the loss for the Utes, falling to 0-1 after allowing one run in 1.1 innings pitched. Sophomore left-hander Grant Watson started the game on the mound for UCLA and threw 5.1 innings while giving up three runs on seven hits while striking out three.
UCLA took the early lead in the bottom of the first, starting when junior Brian Carroll led off with a single to left. Sophomore Kevin Kramer moved him over to second with a sacrifice bunt, and two batters later junior Pat Valaika brought him home with a single to right to make it 1-0 Bruins.
After both sides failed to score in the second and third innings, Utah tied it up in the top of the fourth when Tyler Relf singled up the middle off of Watson to score Cory Hunt. With runners on first and third and one out in the inning, the Utes attempted a squeeze play with Tyler Yagi at the plate as they looked to grab the lead. Yagi got the bunt down, but Watson fielded it cleanly and threw out Trey Nielsen at the plate to keep the Utes from going ahead.
Utah would eventually take the lead in the top of the sixth, scoring two runs on a two-run single by Relf to make it 3-1 Utes. The lead would be short-lived though, as the Bruins came right back and evened things up with two runs in the bottom of the sixth. After back-to-back singles by Filia and Valaika to lead off the frame, junior Pat Gallagher stepped to the plate and knocked in Filia with a RBI single to left, cutting Utah's lead to one. After Valaika advanced to third on a fly out to right by sophomore Shane Zeile, freshman Christoph Bono grounded into a fielder's choice that allowed Valaika to score, tying the game at 3-3.
Neither team would score in the seventh or eighth innings, and after Berg shut down the Utes in the ninth the Bruins came to bat looking to end things in the bottom of the ninth. Kramer flied out to start the inning, but Filia singled and Valaika walked to put runners on first and second with one out. Gallagher then reached on a fielding error by Nielsen at first base, loading the bases for Hazard. Hazard would then end the game with a fly ball to left that was plenty deep enough for Filia to score, handing the Bruins the 4-3 walk-off win.
Valaika and Filia each went 2-4 on the day, with Filia scoring two runs and Valaika logging a run and a RBI. Junior Kevin Williams also recorded a multi-hit day, going 2-3. On the mound, freshmen Cody Poteet and James Kaprielian put together nice performances out of the bullpen, combining for 2.2 innings of scoreless relief.
UCLA (31-13, 14-7 Pac-12) will continue its homestand against Cal State Northridge (29-18) on Tuesday, May 7 at 6 p.m. out at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Game Notes: This was the fifth Pac-12 home sweep and the 10th Pac-12 sweep overall for the Bruins in the last four years...David Berg extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 26.1 innings and lowered his ERA to 0.68 with his scoreless ninth...He has also now recorded a win and two saves in the same week for the second time this season...Pat Valaika recorded his team-leading 14th multi-hit game and finished the series going 5-10 with three runs and three RBI...Valaika has also reached base safely in 16 consecutive games and extended his hitting streak to seven games...Eric Filia has now hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games while Kevin Kramer has recorded at least one hit in 12 of his last 14 games...this was UCLA's third walk-off win of the season...the Bruins improved to 12-1 in one-run games and 27-4 when they score three or more runs in a ballgame.

Jillian Michaels covers Shape Magazine -- and she's naked on the inside pages. The former "Biggest Loser" coach showed off her super toned body in a nude pic where she is flexing -- at 40. The reality star talked about her "big" birthday and how difficult it was for her to celebrate being "over the hill." According to The New York Daily News, Michaels wasn't too thrilled about turning 40 -- but she's happy going into this phase of her life in the best shape ever.
Michaels explained:
"I won't lie. This birthday was hard. But when I think back on my 20s and 30s, I look better now than I ever have."
Jillian Michaels' shape is quite amazing, but she works hard to keep herself fit. She has always said that exercise is a part of life -- a part of a person's every day routine -- and it needs to be if you want to be fit and healthy like her. Of course Michaels understands that it's not always easy to fit in a workout. In fact, Jillian attributes her arm muscles to doing something that every mom knows a lot about: Lifting her children!
She said:
"My best reason for having strong arms is because I love to pick up my kids."
Jillian Michaels gives tons of tips and ideas in her Shape Magazine interview which you can read in the July/August issue.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by stinag9 Love these chairs Great product and very comfy! Do take note that the color in the picture is not accurate as the chairs are more blue than green. March 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LatinGoldilocks Very sturdy These chairs are very sturdy and comfortable. They are beautiful. In my monitor the wood part appears lighter than what it actually is and the color of the fabric is a bit darker than that on my monitor. For the price you really cannot go wrong. Worst case scenario you can paint the wood into any color you want without feeling like you are damaging an expensive piece of furniture. Loved that they came fully assembled the same week I ordered them and were well packaged. I absolutely love them. February 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmberLS Very Nice! Better than I expected I had not seen these chairs in person, but decided to order anyway. They were packed very nicely and fully assembled. I would give comfort an 8 out of 10. The quality is very good. They are more substantial looking than I expected. The pic makes them look smaller, but the size is very nice! They look like a very high quality chair, well worth the money. These are very reasonably priced versus the Restoration Hardware look alike. And these come in fabulous colors. I got 4 peacock and 4 gecko. Both colors are wonderful and look just like the photos online. I would recommend these chairs. I have only just received them. If there is an issue with quality / wear, I will post an updated reveiw at a later date. November 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by maggiemae33 Works Very Well They go very nicely with my table and 2 other chairs (same chair, different color fabric). The chairs are quite comfortable, and my back really appreciates straight-backed chairs. Also, they were on sale at the time of purchase. March 29, 2016

Audiences are used to having a good laugh at The Mirage thanks to the resort's popular Aces of Comedy series, but it's not every day ticket holders can enjoy a night of great stand-up comedy for a cause.
On Feb. 19, The Mirage will once again host "Ron White's Comedy Salute to the Troops" to benefit the Armed Forces Foundation. The sixth annual event, which will be recorded in front of a live audience and air on Country Music Television at a later date, features an all-star lineup of some of comedy's biggest names, including the man behind the benefit, Ron White.
"I'll do a set and I'll host," White told Examiner.com when asked about the event. "It will be a really fun night. We've got Gabriel Iglesias, Kathleen Madigan, Geechy Guy, Josh Blue, Roy Wood Jr.—it'll be a hoot. It will be special for the crowd, too, as most people don't get the chance to see a television show being made. Really, this is one of the funnest gigs I get to do, plus it raises awareness for posttraumatic stress disorder."
Best known as the cigar-smoking, scotch-drinking funnyman from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, the Navy veteran said he first got the idea for the benefit after talking to some soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., with his fellow Blue Collar Comedy boys.
"There was this one guy who held his 2-year-old with the only limb he had left and I just cried like a baby," White recalled. "I knew there had to be something I could do to help."
What initially began as a barbecue for wounded troop members at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and an annual comedy show at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., quickly grew into something more, though, when CMT joined forces with White to help bring awareness to the cause. The benefit then moved to the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville for a couple of years before settling in at the Terry Fator Theatre inside The Mirage.
"Vegas seemed like such an easy fit," the recurring Aces of Comedy performer said. "My relationship with The Mirage is strong, so they let me do whatever I want. They even gave me the room for the night, which is sweet. The Terry Fator Theatre is the perfect size for something like this, and the set-up is perfect with the backdrop and acoustics."
Even though The Mirage and CMT may support the benefit, White said that he has complete control over the show and "doesn't take suggestions" when it comes to who should be performing.
"I might be a one-trick pony," he said, 'but I'm a comedy expert. This is my show. I know what I'm doing."
While White generally gets who he wants to perform at the benefit, there have been some people—like fellow Aces of Comedy performer Jim Gaffigan—who haven't been able to attend due to previous engagements. When asked if he ever asked his fellow Blue Collar Comedy comics—Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy—to perform, White admitted that he had, but that they sadly "couldn't work out the dates."
"They all have their own philanthropic endeavors, too," White noted. "I really wish they would do it, though; it would be huge."
Given that the show takes place on a weekday, White depends largely on locals to fill up the seats, unlike his weekend Aces of Comedy appearances which typically sell out. Like his Aces of Comedy performance dates, though, White does host a meet and greet with fans for those who purchase the "200 Proof" VIP Experience package, which includes priority seating in the first five rows, an autographed copy of White's newest DVD, A Little Unprofessional, and a complimentary photo.
"I make sure fans get something out of it," White said. "I tell some jokes and they get a photo. Usually they're too shy to ask me any questions—they think of them later. They just want to love on me, which is fine."
The funnyman is used to having fans love on him, especially when he's out in public.
"I always get, 'I would never dream of interrupting you while you're eating, but could you talk to my wife who's on the phone?'" White said. "Or, 'I would never dream of interrupting you during dinner, but there's a busload of crippled kids outside…' Oh, really? You'd never dream of interrupting me? But I get it's probably their only chance to love on me, so I won't tell them to F-off. I generally just ask they don't do it when I'm eating with my family."
Given how often White performs at The Mirage (in addition to his "Comedy Salute to the Troops" date, White also performs Feb. 14 and 15 and returns in March, May, July, August, October and December), it was only natural to ask him if he had any favorite restaurants in town he likes to visit.
"There's this Thai place off-Strip, Lotus of Siam, that's just off the charts," White replied. "I also love Japonais inside The Mirage. There's this tapas place at ARIA (Julian Serrano) I go to almost every time I'm in town, too; they have these great stuffed peppers with cheese (the Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with goat cheese and mushrooms)."
When asked if he had any guilty food pleasures, the comedian known to millions as Tater Salad cited sweet potato fries as one of the reasons he's in a "constant war with his weight," though Las Vegas' many retail centers tend to help White out whenever he's in town.
"The number one thing I like to do when I'm in Las Vegas is shop because even if you're 30—okay, 40—pounds overweight, you can still find clothes," he said.
Even though White may be one of the most popular comedians touring today, unlike most successful stand-up comics, fans generally won't find him on TV or acting in any films.
"Comedy was never a means to an end for me—it was my chosen path," he stated. "I'm not a TV person. I don't do talk shows. My popularity came about in sort of a grassroots way, and I'm very lucky I've been able to sustain it throughout my career. My fans are so good to me that I don't need to do anything else. I was just asked to do Horrible Bosses 2, actually, but I wouldn't do it because I would have had to cancel a performance date. Once my tickets are on sale, they're on sale."
While that makes seeing White during the television broadcast of "Ron White's Comedy Salute to the Troops" all the more special, nothing beats attending the event in person.
"You get six Vegas headliners in one show, plus you're supporting an important cause," White said. "Come for the entertainment and let [supporting the Armed Forces Foundation] be a by-product of that. Or do it the other way around, I don't care. Just come."
"Ron White's Comedy Salute to the Troops" tapes Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. inside The Mirage. Tickets are priced at $79.99, $99.99 and $109.99, plus services charges. For an additional $89, guests can upgrade their seats to the aforementioned "200 Proof" VIP Experience. For tickets, call 702-791-7111 or simply click here.
Ron White also performs as part of The Mirage's Aces of Comedy lineup Feb. 14-15, March 7-8, May 24-25, July 4-5, Aug. 1-2 and 30-31, Oct. 24-25 and Dec. 5-6 and 12-13. Show times are at 10 p.m. Tickets cost $59.99, $69.99 and $81.95, plus tax and a service fee. To reserve your seats, call 702-792-7777.

—To prospectively develop and validate a predictive model for delirium based on precipitating factors during hospitalization, and to examine the interrelationship of precipitating factors and baseline vulnerability.
—Two prospective cohort studies, in tandem.
—General medical wards, university teaching hospital.
—For the development cohort, 196 patients aged 70 years and older with no delirium at baseline, and for the validation cohort, 312 comparable patients.
Main Outcome Measure.
—New-onset delirium by hospital day 9, defined by the Confusion Assessment Method diagnostic criteria.
—Delirium developed in 35 patients (18%) in the development cohort. Five independent precipitating factors for delirium were identified: use of physical restraints (adjusted relative risk [RR], 4.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5 to 7.9), malnutrition (RR, 4.0; 95% CI, 2.2 to 7.4), more than three medications added (RR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.6 to 5.4), use of bladder catheter (RR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.2 to 4.7), and any iatrogenic event (RR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1 to 3.2). Each precipitating factor preceded the onset of delirium by more than 24 hours. A risk stratification system was developed by adding 1 point for each factor present. Rates of delirium for low-risk (0 points), intermediate-risk (1 to 2 points), and high-risk groups (≥3 points) were 3%, 20%, and 59%, respectively (P<.001). The corresponding rates in the validation cohort, in which 47 patients (15%) developed delirium, were 4%, 20%, and 35%, respectively (P<.001). When precipitating and baseline factors were analyzed in cross-stratified format, delirium rates increased progressively from low-risk to high-risk groups in all directions (double-gradient phenomenon). The contributions of baseline and precipitating factors were documented to be independent and statistically significant.
—A simple predictive model based on the presence of five precipitating factors can be used to identify elderly medical patients at high risk for delirium. Precipitating and baseline vulnerability factors are highly interrelated and contribute to delirium in independent, substantive, and cumulative ways.(JAMA. 1996;275:852-857)

The school building which is spread over six acres of lush green environment has been extensively modernized to provide excellent facilities for both academic work and co-curricular activities. The planned infrastructure has sprawling play fields.
The school building is spacious with well-lit classroom, clean and tidy atmosphere.
Attention has been paid to minute details of architecture and convenience to create the atmosphere of learning and knowledge in congenial surroundings.
The infrastructure caters to all essential facilities for the children.
We seek to continuously upgrade and evolve the existing facilities. Set in the heart of the millennium city, this school structure would stand for the values that would be advocated in its classrooms, simplicity, uprightness, honesty and integrity.
The buildings (right now in a semi-finished stage) when seen together coalesce into a magnificent state-of-the-art, the campus boasting of the best in modern teaching amenities in a high-tech infrastructure.
Emergent technology has been used in the creation of smart tech classrooms and a wi-fi campus.
While each block complements each other, the corridors and meeting spaces are graciously designed and are spacious enough to accommodate a huge amount of people. There is the added luxury of ample parking space – and one can literally drive through the entire school.
The classrooms (specific to each subject) right from the ground floor up till the fourth floor are similarly fitted out with safety features and elevators.
In both the initiatives at Greater Kailash and Vikaspuri, housekeeping personnel are deployed for immediate help and assistance. Similarly, there is a huge contingent of security personnel at both these places. Couple this with computerized attendance systems, monitoring systems, movement tracking systems and secure closed circuit cameras at strategic vantage points – and you have an idea that we take the welfare of your children as a extremely serious issue.

College Hockey:St. Norbert Pulls Away From Bethel, Into NCAA Semis
DE PERE, Wis. — Behind a stifling defense and goals from four different players, St. Norbert pulled away to defeat Bethel 4-1 in Saturday's NCAA quarterfinal contest at the Cornerstone Community Center.
The win lands the Green Knights in the Frozen Four for the fourth time in five seasons, where they will face Oswego State.
St. Norbert controlled the tempo in the early going, hitting a post and firing eight shots on Bethel goaltender Aaron Damjanovich in the opening five minutes, but were unable to find the back of the net.
The Royals got some of their best chances of the period a bit later on, following a St. Norbert penalty for too many men at 11:36, but St. Norbert goaltender Kyle Jones turned away numerous high-quality chances and the Green Knights escaped unscathed.
In all, the Green Knights killed three penalties in the opening period, in large part due to the efforts of Jones, who garnered a healthy portion of his 17 saves in that span.
"We don't ask him to make 45 saves per game, but he will make five big saves when we need him to, and we got some huge saves from Kyle early in the game," said Green Knight head coach Tim Coghlin
"Sometimes the offense isn't going and you need the defense to bail you out, sometimes the defense isn't doing it either and that's when you need the goalie to bail you out. That's what he did."
St. Norbert outshot Bethel 14-7 in the opening period, but the two were equal in terms of good scoring opportunities, and the scoreless frame was somewhat of a win as far as Bethel head coach Peter Aus was concerned.
"We wanted to be in that situation," he said. "To come out of the first period at 0-0, or even if we had been down 1-0, really wasn't a bad spot to be in."
The second period began much as the first did, and St. Norbert finally got on the board at the 3:14 mark. Damjanovich made a stellar save on the original three-on-one rush, but the Green Knights held the zone and a rebound hopped to forward Ryan Petersen who finally beat Damjanovich and put St. Norbert out front.
As opposed to the opening stanza, Bethel saw few opportunities in the second, but that changed a little over halfway through the period as back-to-back Green Knight penalties gave the Royals a five-on-three advantage for 1:24.
The Royals took advantage of the opportunity as forward Nick Miller one-timed a shot from out high, and forward Matt Hall got a piece of it, deflecting it off the inside of the post and in to tie the game at 1.
"That was just a great goal," said Coghlin.
The 1-1 stalemate would not last for long, however, as a Bethel interference penalty at 14:28 set the Green Knights up for what turned out to be the game winner.
On the ensuing power play, Green Knight forward Jeff Hazelwood managed to hold the blueline and threw a low shot back in through traffic. The shot found forward Steven Sleep's stick, and deflected past Damjanovich to put St. Norbert up 2-1 at the 16:19 mark.
The Green Knights extended the lead to 3-1 a little over a minute later. After digging the puck out of the corner, Tyler Allen found Troy Boisjoli all alone in front of the Royals' net, and he converted.
"The last five minutes of the second period killed us," said Aus. "We missed three chances to get the puck out of the zone, then they come back and score."
Green Knight forward Marc Belanger capped off the scoring with a beautiful three-on-one goal late in the third period, but both coaches pointed to the second period as the turning point.
"In the second period I thought we played much better," said Coghlin. "After they got the goal, our leaders on the bench spoke up. Guys like Troy Boisjoli and Tyler Gow said 'Let's get back to basics.' It all started with our penalty killers following their goal. They killed the rest of the penalty and right away we get a power play of our own and we were able to score."
In the Bethel camp, Aus was quick to praise a St. Norbert defense that held the Royals to only four second-period shots.
"We were out of sync the entire period," he said. "The credit goes to St. Norbert. They take away time and space. I could play the game if you gave me enough time and space; Those are important and they gave us very little."
Damjanovich finished the game with 30 saves for the Royals, and though they weren't enough, Aus was not one to hang his head following the defeat.
"We've had a terrific season," he said. "We won our first-ever league championship, we won our first ever playoff championship, we won an NCAA game. We just couldn't get anything going tonight and this is an awfully tough place to win at."
The Royals finish one of their finest seasons ever at 18-10-1.
As far as St. Norbert, now 25-3-2, is concerned, it's time to start thinking about Oswego State.
"Well, I can tell you Norwich is a great team and Oswego just shut them out," he said. "We all watched on ESPN as Norwich shut out Middlebury not too long ago, so for Oswego to come out and shut out Norwich, you know they are a great team."
