Setting up a Community Radio Station is one of the most empowering actions that any community can do. Its gives a community its own voice and allows a fresh perspective on what is truly important.
The journey from idea to sustainable community broadcaster is a long one. CRAOL is there to help your group to get there. In doing so, together we play a part in ensuring that every citizen in Ireland will one day be able to participate in and/or listen to a radio station owned and run by their own community, for their community.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Ghandi
In 2009, CRAOL sampled different existing stations to find out why they run a community station at all – here are some of the answers…
"Our Community Radio Station....
• Underpins all kinds of community activity
• Gives a voice to the rarely heard

While a publicist guided Steven through a gauntlet of reporters, I drew on my dramatic training in the chorus of my high school's plays and tried to mill inconspicuously near Joan Rivers's pre-show cameras, hoping the folks at home would catch a glimpse of me in the background. No luck. I was quickly shooed away.We strolled farther down, a stone's throw from Jack Nicholson, where a stand of bleachers was packed with photographers. Since the winners were still unknown, they shot everyone who passed. I watched as pneumatic-breasted starlet-wannabes, the dates of rich and famous men, struck their poses: shoulders forward, chin down, lips pouting sexily, feet in third position. Then it was our turn. Flashes popped. "Steve! Peggy! Over here! Over here!" they shouted, having been given our names by the publicist. Steven wrapped an arm around my waist and we looked up, down, left, right, smiles plastered on our faces. I imagined myself as Meryl Streep, Felicity Huffman. Yes, I'd sworn to be simply me, but who could possibly do that in circumstances that were so surreal?"Hey, Peggy," one photographer shouted. "I like your dress!" In his picture, wherever it may be, I'm sure my grin is real.This year the academy tried something new, moving the non-celebrity nominees to the front rows just before their categories were announced. That meant Steven and I wouldn't be together at the big moment. It was a lousy time to be separated, and not just because it extinguished any chance of airtime for my dress. When the usher came to get him, I stood, just like before, to let him pass. He held me close for a moment. "I'd like to thank my wife," he whispered, and then he was gone. We didn't yet know that the statuette on our fridge wouldn't get its playmate. But it didn't much matter. When I met him in the basement bar after it was over, we toasted our elegance, our love, ourselves. We'd gotten this far together. We'd won. Peggy Orenstein's memoir, Waiting for Daisy: A Tale of Two Continents, Three Religions, Five Infertility Doctors, an Oscar, an Atomic Bomb, a Romantic Night, and One Woman's Quest to Become a Mother, will be published in February 2007.Originally published in MORE magazine, September 2006.

Louis & Hortense Rubin Community Fellowship Awards 1999-2000
"The Village Elder Care Program: Socialization for Elders and Caregiver Relief for Residents of the Town of Sand Lake" - $6,000
- Institution Name: The Sage Colleges
- Cooperating Agency: Town of Sand Lake
The purpose of this project is to provide the elderly and their caregivers supportive assistance though a two-fold program. The first phase will offer home visits by adult volunteers, which will free the caregiver for a couple of hours per week and give the homebound elderly someone who will share special one-on-one time with them. The second phase will involve establishing a day-care environment at the high school where the elderly can enjoy the company of each other and volunteer students. A survey will be conducted to determine the need for a village Elder Care Program in the Town of Sand Lake. This will be done by a needs assessment survey. This survey will determine the following: the number of elderly in the community with their number of caregivers, how many hours per week they would use the services, and their incomes in order to effectively determine fees. A separate survey will be done to seek out and coordinate volunteers for the program. After this information has been processed, a comprehensive look at the program itself will be done to determine a realistic budget.
"Troy Gateway Initiative Charrette, a Community-Based Workshop for the Bridge Entrances to the City of Troy" - $9,500
- Institution Name: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, School of Architecture
- Cooperating Agency: Capital District Community Gardens
The Troy Gateway Initiative is a community development project focused on improving the primary entrances to the City of Troy, with an emphasis on the six bridges that Cross the Hudson River and serve as the waterfront "gateways" to the city. The poor design and physical appearance of the areas surrounding the bridges do not effectively market Troys rich architectural heritage, growing commercial areas, and unique waterfront, and diminish civic pride. The Troy Gateway Initiative was established to bring together interested community residents, business owners, government representatives, and non-profit organizations to examine a broad range of physical improvements in the vicinity of the citys principal entrances. The initial efforts have been soliciting input on desirable improvements from the community via a series of public meetings. The goal of the Troy Gateway Initiative design charrette is take the information collected from these meetings and create a comprehensive, compelling, and sustainable vision for the bridge entrances to the city. The design charrette is a workshop held in a one to three day period in which architects and other design professionals, community leaders, public officials and citizens work together to envision alternatives for a city/community project, with an emphasis on long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability.
"History in Our Own Back Yard" - $6,500
- Institution Name: The Sage Colleges
- Cooperating Agency: Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway
This proposal seeks funding to extend an existing project at Troys River Spark Visitor Center, a facility now operated for the City of Troy by the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway, expanding our reach from tourists to the youth of Troy. Our plan is to test the feasibility of adapting a model program in the Boston area to the schools of Troy, in which students in the citys public elementary schools create their own "tour brochure" for those wishing to learn more about the history of their own neighborhoods. The overriding goal is to intervene at the elementary school and neighborhood level, in hopes of eventually eradicating the extremely destructive collective case of low self-esteem.
"Genealogical Record Preservation/ Maximizing Library Space/ Grant Writing Mentoring" - $4,500
- Institution Name: Hudson Valley Community College
- Cooperating Agency: Nassau Free Library & Castleton Public Library
The Nassau Free Library and the Castleton Public Library are dependent upon the generosity of the town governments of Nassau and Schodack, and the village governments of Nassau and Castleton, as well as the Rensselaer County legislature for funding. As the demand from residents for more library services increases each year, so do the costs associated with those services. Local and county governments cannot always meet the financial needs of our libraries, for example, computers, books, archives, capital improvements, and children programs. We would like the Louis and Hortense Rubin Community Fellows Program to provide us with an individual who is familiar with the preservation of historical genealogical documents, library grant writing, and utilizing limited library space.
"Applying the Child Advocacy Center Model in Rensselaer County: an Evaluation of Current Processes" - $6,000
- Institution Name: The Sage Colleges
- Cooperating Agency: START Childrens Center
Child sexual abuse cases are often difficult to investigate and prosecute. Not only is it a highly underreported crime, but the young victims provide unique challenges to professionals in ensuring safety, interviewing, and examining in the courtroom. Child advocacy centers are part of an international effort to reduce the trauma of investigations and prosecutions to child victims and their non-offending family members. The Sexual Trauma and Recovery Team (START) includes local and state police, Child Protective Services, the District Attorney's office, the Sexual Assault Care Center, Samaritan Hospital, Seton Health System, Unified Services, Vanderheyden Hall, and the St. Anne Institute. The first part of the project looked at the organizational structure of the core agencies involved in child sexual abuse investigations, and how the START Children's Center can best be integrated with them. The second and simultaneous part of the project looked at how the team worked as a unit. For the Center to be successful, it must be utilized by each of its members.

26 May Italians finish Junior Worlds with gold
Italians Gloria Tocchi and Alessandro Colasanti won the mixed relay – the final event of Junior World Championships in Drzonków. Silver medal was taken by Koreans while bronze went to pair of China.
The last event of the Championships started traditionally with fencing. This discipline was won by Italians Gloria Tocchi and Alessandro Colasanti, who won together 26 bouts. Second place was taken by Polina Matyukhevich and Lev Kolyazov of Russia, who claimed 23 wins, while in third Koreans Sunwoo Kim and Jihun Lee were classified, as they had one victory less than the Russians.
At the swimming pool the best time was achieved by Anastasiya Spas and Vladyslav Mishchenko. Ukrainians with the time of 1:58,39 were 0,42 secs faster than Italians and 2,07 secs faster than Russians. The podium after two events remained unchanged – Tocchi and Colasanti were leading ahead of Russians and Koreans.
The last riding at this Championships finished without achieving the maximum result of 300 points. The best result, only seven penalty points, was made by Isabel Brand and Charles Fernandez of Guatemala. Also Russians had one knockdown, but they also exceeded the time limit by six seconds. It was however enough to overtake Italians in the overall classification. The Koreans kept their third position.
To the combined event Matykhevich started 10 seconds before Tocchi and 24 before Kim. The Italian already at the first shooting caught her rival up and on the second visit on a range she was already a leader. As Tocchi was increasing an advantage over the Russian, the Korean joined the fight. At the exchange Italians were quite far from their rivals, but Jihun Lee, who overtook Lev Kolyazov, started to decrase the difference to Alessandro Colasanti. The Korean however didn't manage to catch him up and it were Italians who could celebrate the gold medal. Next two place went to Asians as the Koreans were second and Chinese pair of Shuhuan Li and Xiuting Zhong was third.
I am so happy. I want to thank Alessandro who made a very good job. Congratulations to the team, I am so proud of the hard work we are doing. – said Tocchi after the competition.
After the award ceremony President of UIPM Dr h.c Klaus Schormann thanked the organizers, athletes, coaches and volunteers for their support and help and officially closed the Junior World Championships Drzonków, Poland 2014.

Making money selling pre-owned clothing on eBay is all about knowing the brands to sell. Many sellers choose the most popular retail store brands like Ralph Lauren, Levis, Tommy Hilfiger, and Armani when shopping at thrift stores for pre-owned clothing to resell. Unfortunately, the most popular and most recognized brands can also be the most faked – which can get a seller kicked off of eBay. One way around the counterfeit issue is to sell brands that are high profit but not usually faked. One such brand is Exclusively Misook.
Misook Doolittle started selling her own designs out of her Hartsdale, NY home in 1985. She began her clothing line because, in her own words, "I saw a need that women, just like myself, were looking for sophisticated designs that didn't compromise comfort and were easy to look after." (Misook.com) Misook was a world traveler and wanted clothing that looked classy but was easy to pack and care for on the road. She hand knit the first pieces in her line.
In 1995, Misook moved to New York City and opened a showroom in New York's Fashion district on 7th Avenue. Nordstrom department store was the first retailer to carry her line. The company grew over the next 15 years and the Misook website launched in 2010.
The Exclusively Misook clothing line includes basic pieces such as black pants, solid color jackets, sheath dresses, tanks and shells, and cardigans. Regular retail prices can exceed $450. On eBay, pre-owned pieces in good condition can sell for over $200, depending on the particular item. Jackets sell for the most.
eBay shows over 1,200 active listings for Exclusively Misook in pre-owned condition, and 2,300 completed sold listings for this brand also in pre-owned condition. Exclusively Misook is a brand where the very plain black and white garment tag can be misleading. (See photo to the left.) At first glance, the tag looks like it could be a cheap Target brand like Mossimo or Merona, or a Wal-Mart brand like Metro 7. Resellers have probably overlooked this brand simply because it is not as well known as other designer brands. But don't be deceived, Misook has a very specific niche following for its elegant clothing.
If you are a reseller of pre-owned clothing on eBay, add Exclusively Misook to your BOLO (Be On The Lookout) list. A small investment of a few dollars on a plain looking article of clothing can bring big profits – if you know what to look for when shopping at thrift stores.

Life Partners Sued For Refusing To Comply With Subpoenas
Securities commissioner sues life partners for resusing to comply with subpoenas in 'death-benefits' probe
AUSTIN, Texas – Securities Commissioner Benette L. Zivley sued Waco-based Life Partners Holdings Inc. and its founder and CEO, Brian Pardo, for refusing to comply with subpoenas from the State Securities Board.
The Application to Enforce Subpoenas, filed late Thursday in Travis County state district court, marks the first public disclosure of the State Securities Board's ongoing investigation of Life Partners, which started in July 2010. Life Partners, a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: LPHI), failed to fully comply with the subpoenas, the most recent of which were issued last month. The suit also names R. Scott Peden, general counsel for Life Partners.
The State Securities Board's investigation of Life Partners focuses on suspected violations of the Texas Securities Act: fraudulent practices in connection with the offer for sale and sale of investments in life settlement contracts; the sale of unregistered investments; the sale of investments in life settlement contracts by people who are not registered dealers, agents, or investment advisers; and the fraudulent offer and sale of shares of its common stock.
A life settlement contract is an investment where an investor typically acquires an interest in the death benefits of an existing insurance policy. Investors are generally responsible for the payment of premiums to keep the policy in force and expect to receive a profit when the death benefits are paid by the insurance carrier when the insured dies.
The Application asks the court to force Life Partners to comply with the subpoenas, which require the company to provide records related to its marketing and sale of investments in life settlements. Based on Life Partners' past refusal to comply with the subpoenas, a court order is necessary.
The State Securities Board's filing notes the various and well-documented investigations and lawsuits faced by Life Partners Holdings and its subsidiary, Life Partners Inc. These include an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, numerous purported class action lawsuits that allege Life Partners committed fraud, and delays in filing required financial reports with the SEC.
Life Partners' auditor also resigned last month and said the company's 2010 financial statements "may no longer be relied upon."

College Hockey:Brown and Danis Upend Harvard
Danis Picks Up Brown Shutout Record
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Brown Bears surprised No. 14 Harvard in a 4-0 season-opening win at Meehan Auditorium in both teams' first games of the season. Junior goaltender Yann Danis picked up right where he left off last season, stopping all 30 shots for his fourth career shutout, a Brown record.
The Harvard offense peppered Danis with 68 shots in Brown's season-ending double-overtime 2-1 loss last March, but Saturday the Bears had their revenge in the newly-renovated Meehan Auditorium, by getting on top early and leaving the rest of the work to the All-American Danis.
"I think this rivalry really started for us last season in the playoffs," said Brown head coach Roger Grillo. "I think those tough losses carried over into this season for us and really motivated a lot of our older players in the off-season."
It was a wide open first period, and the Bears opened the scoring on the power play. Senior defenseman Paul Esdale fired a shot from the point, which deflected toward Les Haggett, who was camped out on the right side of the net. Haggett shot it in the open net to make it 1-0.
Esdale added another just four minutes later to put the momentum heavily on the Brown bench. Senior forward Keith Kirley, who assisted on the first goal, made a nice pass from the right boards to give Esdale a good chance on Harvard's Dov Grumet-Morris. Esdale walked it in and patiently found the net with a high shot to the blocker side.
It was an evenly matched first period, but the second was heavily controlled by the Crimson. Harvard outshot Brown 12 to 7 in the frame, but Danis made several great saves during an early Harvard spurt, including a fabulous stop on Tyler Kolarik, who tested Danis early and often.
Nevertheless, Brown was able to add another goal just past the midway point of the second to make it 3-0. The score came on a long shot from defenseman Scott Ford, which Grumet-Morris got a piece of, but couldn't keep out of the net.
Brown played it safe in the third and added an empty netter for the 4-0 win. Pascal Denis sealed up an emotional victory for a very promising Brown team with under a minute to go.
"This was a big win for us to start the season," said Danis, who controlled his rebounds well and was not out of position once in net tonight for the Bears. "I thought we played with a lot of confidence and maturity."
This is the second year in a row in which the Bears have opened the season with a win over Harvard. The win marks the first Brown home win over the Crimson in its last eight tries.
Harvard, despite creating plenty of offensive chances on Danis, failed to get many second-chance opportunities. Still, the complexion of the game was quite different from last season's playoff thriller, in which Harvard kept the pressure on Danis constantly. Brown made many nice neutral zone plays and showed they could skate with Harvard. In addition, Brown seemed to have control of the physical part of the game, and turned it up a notch late in the game to preserve the shutout for Danis.
"It didn't look like we had a lot of energy tonight," said Harvard head coach Mark Mazzoleni. "They had better legs than us and outplayed us in our end."
The Bears and Crimson will host Vermont and Dartmouth next weekend in ECAC play.

Disposable diapers vs. Cloth diapers??
Cloth is actually pretty easy, especially if you use pocket diapers or all in ones. We part-time CD so I use disposables when I feel like it and cloth when I feel like it - works out great for us because I didn't spend a ton on my cloth diapers and I save on the disposables I don't use. But I'm a SAHM so the laundry I can handle. It's actually not too much extra laundry for me....with disposables she kept having poop blowouts so it's really almost the same amount of laundry of poopy stuff :-) And, although I do the prerinse/presoak with just the diapers, then I go ahead and do the nromal cycle with the rest of her clothes.
DD was formula fed and even then the poop washed out in the laundry, so it's not just EBF poop. Really solids is the only time you have to take some time, and all I do is scrape it into the toilet .But I have to admit I put her in disposables whenenver I'm pretty sure it's time for her to poop because of that extra new step that comes with solids.
DD 4/23/2011 <]]]]]] Golden Enfamil bottles
DS 6/16/2012 (oYo)/<]]] silver - combo feed and proud of it!
I already started buying them on ebay and marshalls. at least for the first year
I think everyone has given great points on the pros and cons, I just wanted to clarify the environmental impact issue. Cloth isn't just better for the environment because it keeps disposables out of the landfills, it also reduces the water, petroleum, chemical and energy used in manufacturing disposables. The amount of water it takes to wash them doesn't come near the amount of water it takes to CREATE a disposable diaper. Plastic is made from petroleum, which has to be processed first. The machines get hot and water is used in keeping them running.
Here's a great site on the envornmental impact of disposables:
The highlights from that site:
-The instructions on a disposable diaper package advice that all fecal matter should be deposited in the toilet before discarding, yet less than one half of one percent of all waste from single-use diapers goes into the sewage system.4
-Disposable diapers generate sixty times more solid waste and use twenty times more raw materials, like crude oil and wood pulp.3
-The manufacture and use of disposable diapers amounts to 2.3 times more water wasted than cloth.3
-Over 300 pounds of wood, 50 pounds of petroleum feedstocks and 20 pounds of chlorine are used to produce disposable diapers for one baby EACH YEAR.6
Good luck in your choice! I love how far cloth diapers have come recently! They can be so easy to use and I'm so excited for all the pretty prints :)

There is a cloth diaper board that I joined and learned a lot from. They are so much different than they used to be and with the hybrid's there is a liner so you throw it out with the poop and wash the resuseable liners. Seems like a great compromise for my hubby and I so we are trying the BumGenuis cloth. Hopefully, we will stick with it!

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- 1 in 68 children in America are identified as Autistic. That rate has risen at an alarming pace and physicians say there still isn't one thing that can be pinpointed as the cause. However, one thing they believe is contributing to the numbers is a better understanding of diagnosis.
"At 18 months and 24 months we have the parents fill out an autism screen. The particular one we use is called an MCHAT. If we see things on there that are concerning to us, then we go ahead and refer them as soon as possible," said Dr. Debra Sowell.
With numbers going up, resources are more important than ever. One of those resources sits on the campus of WKU. The Kelly Autism Program is not only helping students assimilate to college life, it's also helping them graduate.
Rachel Pierce is graduating this spring with a Major in English. Her hopes of becoming a librarian are within sight and she said it's due to the acceptance of her disorder on the campus of WKU and in the program.
"I still appreciate that people don't think I'm not capable of things they are capable of just because I have Autism. It always makes me happy that people believe in me."
Physicians say stories like Rachel's show that a diagnosis of Autism doesn't mean a person can't fully engage in society.
"That recent study shows that many of them have higher than average IQ's and they're able to function in society but they may just have something a little bit different along that spectrum," added Dr. Sowell.
Doctors say testing all over the medical field will continue until they can figure out exactly what causes the disorder.
Officials at the Kelly Autism Program said April is Autism Awareness Month and their goal is to not only promote awareness, but to also strive for acceptance.

County Clerk Jason Denny, chairman of the Anderson County Board of Elections, acknowledged Monday that the board did not follow state statutes when it met last year. All public bodies are required to vote to create a meeting schedule each year, and make it publicly available.
Gina Fultz, the principal at Anderson County Middle School charged with driving under the influence in December, is scheduled to appear in Madison District Court on Thursday at 9 a.m.
Originally scheduled for Feb. 8, Fultz is now on the docket for Thursday, a representative from the district court office said.
Fultz, barely halfway through her first year as principal, was charged with DUI in Richmond on Dec. 10 while returning home from picking up her adult daughter from a club.
Putting a campaign sign in your yard more than 45 days before an election could get you warned and fined up to $250 if an ordinance being considered by the Anderson County Fiscal Court is approved.
The measure passed on first reading last Tuesday by a 4-3 margin, and is likely to be voted on for a final time when the fiscal court meets next Tuesday night.
It wasn't really a shot.
There was none of that square-it up, get-your-fingertips-on-the-trademark, keep-your-eye-on-the-target and follow-through stuff on this concoction. There was really no time.
His team trailing 54-52 and time running out, Shelby County's Eric Schreiner only had time to fling a prayer towards his own basket last Wednesday. Along with several hundred Anderson County and Shelby County faithful, Schreiner watched as the ball grazed the backboard.
There are many ways for a basketball team to show it is better than the opponent, but a 46-0 run?
You do not have to call your optometrist. You read that right.
Forty-six straight points.
That's what Anderson County, one of the haves in the Eighth Region this year, did to Shelby County, a team that had just won its first game of the season the night before. When it was over, the Lady Bearcats had posted a 61-22 win, their 16th straight against 30th District competition.
Makenzie Cann ripped Clark County with some deadly 3-point shooting to lead Anderson County past Clark, 64-51, in girls' basketball action Thursday night in Winchester.
Cann hit on 7-of-8 threes on her way to a varsity career-best 32 points. Cann was 10-for-12 overall from the field.
"As good as Kenzie was offensively, she was even better defensively," said Anderson coach Tony Kays. "She held Clark's best player (Preshia Rogers) to nine points."
Woodford County erupted to outscore Anderson County 21-9 in the second quarter and that was enough to give the Yellow Jackets a 57-44 win over the Bearcats in boys' basketball action Friday night in Versailles.
"We got in some foul trouble and could not stop their big men," Anderson coach Glen Drury said.
Woodford's 6-foot-7 junior, Jay Johnson, hit the Bearcats for 16 points, while another junior, 6-6 David Greenwell, also scored 16.
Johnson is being courted by several mid-major Division I schools, Drury said.
Anderson County's boys will close out the home portion of the basketball season when the Bearcats host Grant County on Saturday and Oldham County next Monday.
Saturday's contest has been designated as the annual Coaches vs. Cancer game and also is the Bearcats' winter homecoming game. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Grant brings a 9-15 record into Saturday's contest under first-year coach Jim Hicks.
Hicks, a long-time mentor at Bath County, took over the Brave program from Ron Kinmon, who moved into administration.
Anderson County High School soccer player Madison Carter has inked a national letter-of-intent with Eastern Illinois University of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Located in Charleston, Illinois, Eastern Illinois finished 7-9-5 last fall.
A four-year starter at Anderson, Carter is expected to play forward for the Panthers. She also considered Tusculum University in Alabama and Morehead State.
"I told them she is a player," Anderson coach Jason Earnest said.

Expanding on techniques executed in the Address Drill, Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala demonstrates the highly effective Retreat Drill. This particular drill teaches defenders how to handle that initial move by an offensive player and ways to eliminate flat feet.
Follow along as Coach Pietramala reveals how to implement the proper techniques, movements and strategies involved. The drill is a must for lacrosse teams at every level. It's also an effective defensive tool used by Johns Hopkins on a frequent basis.
After learning how to properly address the ball, this is the next step in the progression. It's all about how to take that initial move by the offensive player and remain in a position to be effective defensively. It also continues to work on techniques covered in the Address Drill as well.
The drill starts with one player at a time behind the net and facing toward the endline (and with his/her back toward the goal). At the whistle, the player addressing the coach will retreat back a few steps, move forward again (following the coach's signals), move back, and then forward, and then back again.
The participating player should follow the signals delivered by the coach to figure out when to retreat and address.
Signals: Putting the hand down means to stop and break down, pointing the hand backwards means to retreat, and pointing outward means to come back in and address the ball.
This drill really focuses on retreating or giving ground. Any time that an offensive player makes a move at a defender, we believe the first thing we need to do is retreat backwards with our stick in front of us and with a six-foot cushion. This enables the defender to handle any initial offensive move.
Too often, defenders are caught flat-footed when an offensive player makes a move. When flat-footed, they can't retreat. Therefore, we're making sure with this drill that we don't get beat by the initial move.
Be sure to watch the feet and stick positioning here. When each defender comes out, they will immediately try to take away the offensive player's right hand. Players should focus on picking their feet up and running backwards and not dragging the feet when backpedaling. You can also get the goalie involved and communicating with each defender on what's expected and where to go.
Also, make sure that you conduct the drill on the left side of the cage. Nothing changes here. Rather than having our left foot forward, we will reverse that because we are taking away the left side of the goal. So it's the right foot forward and left foot back.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Developing On-Ball Defenders Behind the Net" with Dave Pietramala. To check out more defensive-oriented videos in our lacrosse library, simply click here.
In this week's player development feature, learn basic shooting mechanics and key shooting drills from one of the game's greatest players. With Gary Gait as your guide, you'll find out how to properly isolate the hands and arms, develop release points, improve accuracy, and get important tips for generating power.
Shooting in lacrosse is certainly more complex than just throwing the ball on net. We'll begin with a basic shot and how it involves body mechanics.
The best shooters in lacrosse all have the ability to get shots off and put it in any place or direction they want no matter what their body does. This comes from isolation and the ability to throw the ball no matter where the body is.
To start, square up your feet towards the goal and then get the right mechanics on the hands and the arms. As for your grip on the stick, grip it at the base of your fingers and not in the palms. This allows you to get more follow through and movement on the stick. Also, slide that top hand down the stick a bit.
Now we want to get the arms in the best position so we can get the most out of them. Extend the bottom arm so you can get a long pull. Flatten the top arm so you can get a nice push. Don't get the stick at an angle where the pull is much shorter and where the push is shorter. Instead, position your arms in a way that maximizes their potential power.
Now, let's focus on turning the feet and changing the position of our body. We still want to practice getting good use of the hands and arms here. Now point your feet to the sideline and keep them square. Shoot the ball and come across with the stick and focus on that same quickness. Your feet should be still. All we're doing here is shooting stationary on the goal. Get lots of reps and explode through the movement.
Finish by reversing sides. Get the stick up and get a good pull and good push.
The next step is developing release points. Release points come from how much you pull and how much you push, plus when you pull and push.
For example, if you start from the same position every time, you can push and pull from here and get the ball to stay high. You can also develop a different release point by delaying the pull and the push. As you start the motion, drag the stick a little, then pull and push. It looks the same from the starting position, but now you can release the ball low.
We can also incorporate some side-to-side action. To aim side-to-side, pull the stick across the body as you make your push-pull movement. While this makes a natural upper body turn, it also makes your stick travel on a diagonal. From this same position and with the slightest adjustment with the hands and the push/pull, it will really change where the ball releases. Now you can hit the right corner, the left corner, the mid-left, the mid-right, bottom left and bottom right.
Before, we were facing the goal, now we can adjust our body (turn it to the side) and go through the same motions and shoot it at all areas of the goal. Move the ball around the goal and keep your body in the same position. Then turn the other way (from right to left, or vice versa).
Next, it's about focusing on accuracy. Accuracy comes from practice. Simply get out there and practice over and over again trying to hit the same spot. You'll develop consistency and accuracy this way.
After accuracy comes power, which derives from the body, driving through the legs, the hips and up through the body. The power then travels up through the hands, and you finish by being able to control where the shot goes using your hands and arms, how much you push and pull, and when you push and pull.
With power, line up facing the sideline and bring the stick back to generate speed with the stick. Turn your body to see over your shoulder. Drive your leg down, turn your hips through, keep your stick back, and come all the way through while twisting the body. Now we're back into the position of how much I push and pull determines where the ball releases. So step, drive, shoot and get a really hard shot on cage.

A major part of a goaltender's success stems from the first step. Developing that initial step will enable you to get to balls quicker, develop better range, and ultimately contribute towards improved performances.
This week, North Carolina women's lacrosse coach Phil Barnes reveals his top overall goaltending keys before leading you through effective stepping drills for warm-ups and practice. These easy-to-implement drills will train the stick and the feet to get to the seven defensive areas of the cage and go a long way towards developing overall goaltending skills.
1) Technique — Your number one priority as a goalie is to stop the ball. If a goalie has has good technique, they will be able to do that. Remember, there's only so many movements to make, so the variables are not the same as a defender or attacker. In the end, technique is what will put a goalie over the top.
2) Hand-eye Coordination and Intelligence — If a goalie has above average hand-eye coordination, they can probably do everything you want them to do from a technique standpoint.
3) Mental Toughness — Goalies will see a lot of shots and the ball will go in. There is responsibility around this. If a goalie isn't mentally tough, you may want to find a different one. You may end up working more on the mental side than the physical side of things.
We're looking to improve that first step to the ball so you can get there quicker. The following stepping warm-up drills train the stick and feet to get to the seven defensive save areas. It also focuses on a quick and clean stick turnover.
There are tons of different theories on how you should lead warm-up drills for stepping. For Coach Barnes, it starts with the first step/lead step/attack step. The second step is something that occurs naturally. Therefore, our first concern is how quick is that first step to the ball. If the first step is slow, you will never get to the ball regardless of how quick you get your second step there.
7 Save Areas: High right, high left, middle right, middle left, low right, low left, and between the legs.
Stick Side Low — Players should assume ready positioning and then repeatedly make stick-side low movements using their first step. No saves or balls are used in these drills. Every fourth rep, have the players step with two steps (so they keep that habit of bringing the second foot).
Key: Look for quick and clean turnover here. Also, remember the stick and first step hit the ground at the same time.
Non-Stick Side Low — Put an emphasis on the stick and first step getting there at the same exact time. Notice players hold the save positioning for a few seconds so they can get that muscle memory in there (about three seconds). Mix up the reps every time you run this drill (anywhere between 6 and 20 reps).
Going High — Keep in mind that the first step is always the same for any save. Nothing changes.
Stick Side High — Concentrate on raising the stick up high. If you tilt the stick back, the ball may go over your stick.
Non-Stick Side High — Here, we'll implement the "Windshield Wiper" technique. Using the wrists, arms, and shoulders, drive them all together. Keep the stick straight so you don't lose your angle to the ball. On every fourth rep, continue to step with two feet.
Stick Side Mid — We're using the exact same motion here as we do going for low saves. We're looking for a complete stick turnover in order to translate to a low save technique.
Non Stick Side Mid – Don't forget to keep that same distance between your chest and the stick.
Typically, this warm-up drill will go for five minutes. Look to go for about 8-15 reps, maybe 21 per practice. Remember, technique is what separates good keepers from average ones and you can fall back on it time and time again.

In this week's edition of All Access, we take you back to Storrs, Connecticut for an exclusive look at a University of Connecticut women's basketball practice. Watch as head coach Geno Auriemma walks through several team drills for you and details specific roles, player movements, overall strategies, and general tips.
This first layup drill starts with three lines on the baseline and the ball in the middle. Initially, there's a full-speed dribble to the opposite foulline. Then, the players immediately turn around and come back and get a layup. The ball handler should push the ball out in front each time. Players should also keep their heads up. When coming back, the middle player hits a wing player for the layup in stride.
With fast breaks, the players focus on different 3-Man Weaves starting at half court. The drill — which incorporates layups, pull-up jumpers, and five-footers using the glass — serves as a terrific warm-up drill.
For this passing drill, two players at a time will get down in a defensive stance, both on opposite sides of the paint starting at the baseline. Each pair will stay in their defensive stance all the way down the floor while catching and passing continuously. Players should stay in their defensive stance the entire time until the end. Once the first team hits the foul line, the next group starts.
Next, the team moves to a popular shooting drill. Two players will work with each other at one basket. Players should get their own rebound and make good passes to their teammate. The first team to make 10 shots at five baskets wins. Players count their made shots out loud. Shots are taken from the foul line, elbows, and just inside the key.
Finally, in this particular ball handling session, UConn guards are working on dribbling down at one end of the floor. It's a half-court drill where each player has a ball and goes up and back in a 1-on-0 situation. Players work on hesitation dribbling, stop and go's, crossovers, and more — with both hands. Eventually, the guards move into drills against stationary defenders while incorporating layups.
Meanwhile, post players are on the other end of the floor working on low post positioning, entry passes, and moves in the paint with a defender on their back.
According to Auriemma, there's only so much time during the middle of the season that you can devote to ball handling, but hopefully everything you do leads into it and incorporates it. The preseason and postseason are the optimal times to really work on your team ball handling.
The previous clips can be seen in Championship Productions' DVD "All-Access Practice with Geno Auriemma." To check out more videos featuring Coach Auriemma, click here.
In the latest edition of All-Access, we take you to Durham, North Carolina for an exclusive look at a Duke men's lacrosse practice. Watch as head coach John Danowski leads his squad through a number of shooting and ball handling drills.
This exclusive access gives you a glimpse of how an elite Division I program prepares on a daily basis. Be sure to pick up some new tips, drills, and overall concepts so that you can implement them with your squad.
Any time that we turn the ball over anywhere on the field and we are scattered, and someone yells "Fire", that means we sprint and defend the paint. This drill starts with a loose ball in the defensive zone before the defense breaks out to midfield looking to push it up field on the transition break.
The defender moves it to the nearest middie and it transitions into three middies breaking up the field into the offensive zone. Then at the sound of the whistle and the call FIRE, the middies sprint back down field towards the defensive zone and they must defend the paint and find the ball. It's a continuous drill. Once the three middies come back and finish defending the paint, they move the ball back up the other way, and new players rotate in from there.
The next drill is a one-on-one drill. When behind the cage, we trail to the X ( the midpoint directly behind the cage). The defender will do whatever he can to keep the offensive player toward the X.
The first rule here is don't get beat top side. For defenders, you want your stick in your left hand. Here's why: It helps as a deterrent, you are a little bit stronger, and it reminds you of what you are trying to do. If the offensive player crosses the X and tries to go top side, you have the advantage of being able to run through the crease.
In this spot, it's okay to be behind your man. If he takes another step towards top side, the defender will change hands and this will remind him of what his job is. The offensive guy can't score a goal back there at X. He can feed, but your teammates will do their part. Remember the ultimate goal here: Stop the dodger from scoring a goal.
Defensive Tips and Drill Techniques
You need a lower center of gravity. When you stand up tall, you are not as quick or fast. However, when you lower your center of gravity, you are quicker. Defensively, we also want to be athletic, but make sure that you don't lunge.
In the drill, we'll first go right-handed and one time left-handed – at HALF SPEED. The key here is trying to understand what we're trying to accomplish. Remember, don't get beat top side.
Now, one player at a time, the players make their defensive movements behind the cage going 1-on-0 — at FULL SPEED. After this, players will go full speed in a 1-on-1 situation looking to keep their offensive counterparts around the X.

I enjoyed creating this book almost as much as gardening. The photos in this book were taken primarily from this year and last years gardens. Famous garden quotes and poems, original and purchased garden art are sprinkled throughout the 400+ photos. Bees, butterflies and other inhabitants make an appearance. I do believe this book will get me through the winter as I dream about next years garden.

For 2014, domestic-based startups will demonstrate their product, app or service on Friday afternoon, March 7 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. In addition to this March 7 date, we have now added a second Startup Spotlight specifically for foreign companies on Monday afternoon, March 10 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. This March 10 event will feature about 20 companies in the pre-function area of the Austin Hilton Downtown pitching their idea and rubbing elbows with potential investors, employees or users. So, come to the Startup Spotlight (on both March 7 and March 10) to check out some of the newest tech innovators to hit the scene!
If your company would like to be part of this event, please submit your information to this form. If you have any additional questions about Startup Spotlight, please contact Maria Alonso.

April 7, 2013 Harry Styles, Liam Payne 228 Comments
See the pic above?
See what Liam is about to do?
That's right, he does exactly what he looks like he's going to do.
Liam Payne the cheeky bugger pulls Harry Styles pants all the way down – giving a bunch of lucky fans a right good peek at his legs and briefs
Watch this!
Liam's got a bit of a track record of doing naughty stuff on-stage, mostly to Harry, but sometimes to Niall, as seen in the montage below.
Liam Payne, we salute you.

No I'm not talking about me, Gabbi is my baby by far. She's 5 now, but my baby sister Vanessa had a little girl Zoey who is now just over 1 year old I believe. They moved away. I miss them so much! They came up to visit a couple of months ago. Gabbi loves her little cousin. She loves being the big girl. She wants to take care of her. I am not sure how thrilled Zoey is, but just look at that smile on Gabbi! She's healthy and growing like a weed. She will start Kindergarten this coming fall. I can't believe how time flies! It seems like yesterday I got the shocking news that I had cancer while I was pregnant. I remind her daily that she saved my life and that we beat cancer together.
Mother's day serves as another reminder of all we went through. You can ask Gabbi now and she can tell you in her own little Gabbi way, how we beat cancer together.

Wow, she's really growing up. I remember right after you first had her. They do grow up fast and I'm so happy she's doing well. She is a cutie pie too.
Have a terrific day. ☺
