UAA's overall undergraduate retention rate was 67% for Fiscal Year 2014. This rate represents the percentage of first-time full-time undergraduates (certificate, associate and baccalaureate combined) who entered UAA in Fall 2012 and re-enrolled anywhere in the University of Alaska system in Fall 2013. This unique aggregate retention rate is one of the core performance measures in the UA system and an indicator of the multi-year focus on student success at UAA.
See the Undergraduate Retention Metric from the Performance '14 Report.
Student Success: A Strategic Priority
Student Success has been one of UAA's highest strategic priorities for the past decade. Our strategic plan reinforces our commitment to student success, including retention, completion of educational goals, student achievement of academic distinction and university honors outcomes. The Office of Institutional Research has developed a new ten-year model for tracking student success that measures progress toward an even broader range of goals.
Every campus is engaged with efforts to strengthen assessment and advising, offer important foundational courses, and provide academic support services to help students succeed. UAA's annual Performance Report features sections devoted to Undergraduate Retention and High Demand Job Area Degrees Awarded.
Success of Students Enrolled in 15+ Credits
In the Fall 2011, the University of Alaska launched the "Stay on Track" campaign to promote timely graduation. A key element of the campaign encouraged students to enroll in 15 credits per semester, the number needed to finish most degrees within four years. Leaders were concerned that students might struggle with the heavier course load and see a decline in their grade point average. The report Success of Students Enrolled in 15+ Credits highlights findings regarding both increased enrollment in 15+ credit hours after the launch of the campaign and student success levels.

Lynn LeBlanc: Customer Engagement Matters Most
GUEST MENTOR, Lynn LeBlanc, CEO and founder of HotLink: Measuring startup success isn't difficult. For enterprise software, if you're 12 to 18 months in and you can't point to customers, revenue and adequate funding for the future, there's a potentially fatal problem. At that point, fixing what's broken can be difficult if not impossible, so I often coach entrepreneurs to measure their success much earlier in the process. From day one of a startup, founders need to evaluate the depth of three elements in order to set the foundation for future success: customer engagement, high-profile references and adequate resources and experience.
Read what other mentors say about measuring startup success.
Customer engagement: Recently, I was speaking to a group of young entrepreneurs about how important it is to engage customers early in the process to help solidify the team's understanding of the market, product requirements, customer priorities and most importantly, customers' willingness to pay for this cool, new solution. The frightening question one entrepreneur asked at that event was, "How do I get customers?" When engineers start companies, they typically have no sales or marketing experience, and therefore, no customer experience. Yet, rarely are engineers counseled to team up with sales or marketing people at the start of a venture.
Early and consistent customer engagement is possibly the most critical factor in building a successful generation-one product. Novel solutions are only worth building if customers are going to buy them. With a laundry list of other priorities and limited budgets, prospects will weigh this new solution against every other use of available resources, not just other products that are similar. Without engaging customers from the outset, your chances of success are remote, at best.
High-profile references: Let's return to the young entrepreneur who asked about acquiring customers. A startup will have great difficulty securing capital, attracting other customers, adding team members and gaining the attention of analysts and media without some credible technical, industry and customer references. The right evangelists can bestow credibility on your company, which will be much more valuable than your own declarations of greatness. In enterprise software, a strong CIO advisory board can be your greatest asset. Bring executives onto your advisory board who work in the industries you're targeting, and leverage them to speak on behalf of the company. This can make all the difference in successfully passing venture capital due diligence, engaging other customers and successfully launching your company.
Adequate resources and experience: This may not be a popular thing to say, but most people should not start a company. It's very hard, requires years of commitment and fails more often than most entrepreneurs know. Even for experienced entrepreneurs with records of success, raising capital is challenging; for first-time entrepreneurs, the barriers are extraordinarily high. I am often surprised by the number of people who put their dreams on a credit card without the support of the right team, without experience, without any customers to validate the investment and without sufficient personal financial resources. They're playing an all-stakes game of roulette, and most do not win. My rule of thumb is to assume that no one on the team will be paid for a year, and all team members need to understand that the risks are high. Before going for the gold, be sure your team has the skills to create success – from engineering to sales – and be sure you are in a financial position to absorb the loss if it does happen.
When a founder measures the success of his or her startup, it should be easy to answer the question, "How are we doing?" If you have customers, revenue and funding, you're on the right track. However, the most important measurements need to be taken much earlier: how experienced and well-rounded is our team? Are customers involved in our product development? Do we have credible third-party references evangelizing our startup? Do we have sufficient resources to fund early efforts that don't depend on generating personal debt by the founders? If the answer to all of these questions is "yes," you actually have a meaningful chance at startup success.

As Chelomei had complained, Soyuz had no reserves or backup systems for repeated manual docking attempts and had to be recovered after a two-day flight. The state commission found that the Igla docking system of the Soyuz needed serious modification. This could not be completed before Salyut 3 decayed. Therefore the planned Soyuz 16 spacecraft became excess to the program (it was later flown as Soyuz 20 to a civilian Salyut station, even though over its two year rated storage life).

It's safe to suggest that black is back this fall, at least for the gowns of designer Mike Vensel. This evening March 9, 2013 in Los Angeles, CA at Sirens Studios for Concept LA, Mike, a minimalist designer, presented his fall/ winter 2013 collection titled "Oblivion."
As usual in Los Angeles, the show did not start on time but it was certainly worth the wait. Oblivion was a collection full of feminine silhouettes and starry night black. Mike Vensel painted the runway black, which really added to the show's ethereal nature. His designs were simplistic in character, but aroused the senses. Suede, silk and chiffon were in effect throughout the collection creating a goddess-like presence in the room while balancing the asymmetrical cuts.
The constant sight of hats reigning down the catwalk reignited my appreciation for the neglected accessory. Collectively the plethora of sun hats added a classic element of strength and poise to the contemporary collection. Onlookers were given a sultry, femme, and cohesive collection consisting of deep backless full-length dresses, form-fitting vests, and romantic ponchos that could bring the inner goddess out of any woman. With the color pallet including hints of romantic red and subtle ivory within the void of dark black, the neutral fashions will pair well with many items in your closet. The non-iron, ready-to-wear pieces are a busy Angelino's best friend.

More about Mike Vensel:

Each collection explores natural, cultural and architectural elements and creates a fusion between organic design evolution and futuristic ideas of a second skin. With use of organic cottons, bamboo, recycled leather and silk overstocks the brand has an ecological responsibility that goes beyond eco marketing and minimizes its footprint by producing in small quantities on demand using the most ethical practices.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- Details were released Thursday morning about the 24th Annual U.S. Bank Balloons, Tunes and BBQ Festival.
The festival, hosted by United Way of Southern Kentucky, is September 4th through 7th at the airport.
Country artists David Nail, Jana Kramer and The Farm will take the stage that Saturday night.
The Bowling Green Idol talent competition also returns this year.
Other fun includes hot air balloons, barbecue, a carnival, inflatables and more.
However, it's about more than the festivities.
"Great family fun -- come out and join us. Don't forget 100% of the net proceeds benefit those in need in our community in supporting United Way," said Craig Browning, the regional president of U.S. Bank.
"It's great to have fun, but when you get to have fun with something significant in a cause like this, it's double fun," said Damien Horn, of The Farm.
Members of The Farm stopped by the Salvation Army this morning to see just one of the organizations the event-raised money will help.
Single day passes will range from five to 20 dollars per person.

The following delicious concoction comes straight from hospital food. Yup, that's right. My dad, the One-Legged Wonder, spent so much time at the hospital in Indianapolis that I became quite familiar with a lot of the staff, especially the cafeteria folks. The cafeteria was my hiding place, refuge from my crazy mother and the perfect place to indulge stress-induced eating.
The hospital cafeteria there has a ton of options. You pick and choose from their "regular line" that has burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and what not or you can go with their "heart healthy line" that I never ate in. I'm just not a big fan of fish and rice and steamed veggies. By God, when I'm going to eat, I want something good! Hell, I'm at the hospital, I'm stressed and I need food… REAL FOOD.
Every Tuesday and Thursday (yes, I even know the food schedule) one of the special lines was" pasta a-la-carte". It was a cool concept; you choose wheat or regular pasta, alfredo or tomato sauce and then whatever mix-ins you'd like. My ole faithful choice was regular pasta, garlic, tomatoes and sausage. YUM! The servings was massive, taking up the entire to-go tray and was plenty for two meals. Needless to say, Tuesdays and Thursdays were my favorite day for cafeteria food. It's not all bad, ya know!
Sunday night, while making my BBQ ribs I remembered those meals, thanked God the One-Legged Wonder is doing so much better and decided to make my own Italian Sausage Alfredo. Here's the recipe I devised:
Italian Sausage Alfredo
1 pkg. of Italian Sausage (5 bratwurst-lookin' links)
2 jars of Alfredo Sauce
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
3 T. minced garlic (less if you're not a garlic-aholic like us!)
2 T. Olive Oil
1 pound pasta (Your choice! I usually go with rotini or angel hair)
Directions: Add 1 T. of olive oil to a skillet and add your Italian sausage. Cook the sausage, rotating frequently so it doesn't burn until it's no longer pink inside. It works best if you cook it on medium until it's almost done, then cover and simmer a bit on low. That helps the sausage cook more without browning. Remove the sausage and allow to drain on paper towels.
Next up, cook that pasta. You know the drill, boil water, add pasta and cook until al dente. Chop your tomatoes while the pasta is cooking!
Let's talk sauce… In a clean skillet, add 1 T. olive oil and 3 T. of minced garlic. Cook this on medium/low heat for just a few minutes. DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC! It'll happen fast, so watch it and don't walk away from the stove. It stinks and it's just plain annoying to start over. Once that is warm, add in your tomatoes, stir and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, pour in both jars of alfredo sauce and stir. Once this is warm your sauce is done!
Back to our sausage. It should be cool now to work with, so grab a link and a paper towel. Dry off any grease and squeeze a bit. The thing about Italian sausage is that it's greasy… so we want to get out as much as we can. Do this with each link and then cut into slices.
All done! Now, just throw everything together. Pasta on the bottom of course, as much or as little sausage as you'd like, and then sauce. It's delicious and we paired ours with garlic bread and green beans.
When you're shopping for your sausage, be sure to look at the spicy level. The grocery store I was at when I bought my sausage only had "hot" available so that's what I used but typically I go with mild. This is one meal we didn't have any leftovers to put away, we loved it along with my parents.

Extra Creditby Andrew Clements
As letters flow back and forth--between the prairies of Illinois and the mountains of Afghanistan, across cultural and religious divides--sixth-grader Abby, ten-year-old Amira, and eleven-year-old Sadeed begin to speak and listen to one another.
Extra Creditby Andrew Clements Mark Elliott
It isn't that Abby Carson can't do her schoolwork. She just doesn't like doing it. And in February a warning letter arrives at her home. Abby will have to repeat sixth grade--unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking on an extra-credit project to find a pen pal in a distant country. Seems simple enough. But when Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, the village elders agree that any letters going back to America must be written well. In English. And the only qualified student is a boy, Sadeed Bayat. Except in this village, it is not proper for a boy to correspond with a girl. So Sadeed's younger sister will write the letters. Except she knows hardly any English. So Sadeed must write the letters. For his sister to sign. But what about the villagers who believe that girls should not be anywhere near a school? And what about those who believe that any contact with Americans is . . . unhealthy? Not so simple. But as letters flow back and forth--between the prairies of Illinois and the mountains of central Asia, across cultural and religious divides, through the minefields of different lifestyles and traditions--a small group of children begin to speak and listen to one another. And in just a few short weeks, they make important discoveries about their communities, about their world, and most of all, about themselves.
Fear Itselfby Andrew Clements Adam Stower
Time is ticking as the countdown to Ben Pratt's school's total demolition continues. Ben has been given a handful of clues that could help them save the school, but they are all written in maritime riddles. "After five bells sound, time to sit down." What the heck does that mean? It's hard to know where to begin when Ben and Jill don't even know what they are looking for. All Lyman, the snake posing as the school janitor, needs to know, though, is that they are looking, and that could mean the end of the 30-million-dollar development deal that pays his salary. (Which, by the way, is MUCH larger than what a typical janitor makes.) As Lyman lurks in the shadows--and sometimes not in the shadows--Ben and Jill have to add another to-do to their list of things to accomplish in the next twenty-one days: (1) Figure out the clues left by past Keepers of the School groups, (2) figure out how these clues will help them save the school, and (3) stay one step ahead of Lyman. That's the mission...which seems, at times, impossible. The second book in this riveting and mysterious six-book series is as action-packed as the first one, culminating in a faceoff between Ben, Jill, and Lyman. "After five bells sound, time to sit down" makes for a good riddle, but Ben and Jill also knows when it's time to stand up...for Oakes School and for themselves.

In Harm's Wayby Andrew Clements Adam Stower
The threat to the Keepers doubles in the fourth Keepers of the School adventure from Andrew Clements, the master of the school story.Benjamin Pratt and his friends Jill and Robert are determined to save their school from destruction. But just when it seems they've finally gotten the upper hand over that awful Janitor Lyman, they're caught completely off guard by his next move: Lyman has called in reinforcements, and suddenly Benjamin, Jill, and Robert find themselves dodging not one evil janitor, but two. That's right: Lyman's got himself a partner. And it quickly becomes clear that Wally, the new guy, is even more corrupt and menacing than Lyman. Luckily, Ben's team has been growing too. Plus, thank to the latest safeguard, they also have a secret fund of millions of dollars. But all the money in Massachusetts isn't enough to stop Lyman and Wally, not when they've come this far, and not when they are about to put the most harmful part of their plan into play. Could the next safeguard give the Keepers what they need--or has their battle to save the school already been sunk?

Jake doesn't set out to become the teacher's pet, but somehow everything he does has teachers heaping praise on him -- and has his classmates rolling their eyes in disgust. How can he show them that he's just an ordinary kid?
Jake Drake, Teacher's Petby Andrew Clements Dolores Avendaño
The end of third grade turns into a disaster for Jake when he inadvertently becomes the teacher's pet, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't shake the image.Mrs. Snavin looked right past all those waving hands. She looked right at me and she smiled and said, "I think I'll have Jake take it." Then Mrs. Snavin said, "but be sure to hurry right back, Jake, because we're going to work on our number-line project, and you have to be my special computer helper, okay?" And I could feel every kid in the class looking at me. They weren't saying anything. They weren't even whispering. But right then, I heard what they were thinking anyway. They were thinking, teacher's pet.
The Janitor's Boyby Andrew Clements
Ordinarily, no one would have imagined that Jack Rankin would vandalize a desk. But this was not an ordinary school year for Jack....When Jack Rankin learns that he is going to spend the fifth grade in the old high school -- the building where his father works as a janitor -- he dreads the start of school. Jack manages to get through the first month without the kids catching on. Then comes the disastrous day when one of his classmates loses his lunch all over the floor. John the janitor is called in to clean up, and he does the unthinkable -- he turns to Jack with a big smile and says, "Hi, son." Jack performs an act of revenge and gets himself into a sticky situation. His punishment is to assist the janitor after school for three weeks. The work is tedious, not to mention humiliating. But there is one perk, janitors have access to keys, keys to secret places....
The Landry Newsby Andrew Clements
From the Editor's Desk: A Question of Fairness. There has been no teaching so far this year in Mr. Larson's classroom. There has been learning, but there has been no teaching. There is a teacher in the classroom, but he does not teach. Cara Landry is a budding journalist. When she posts a scathing editorial about her burned-out teacher on the bulletin board one afternoon, everything changes. Prodded into action for the first time in years, Mr. Larson challenges his fifth-grade students to create a real newspaper. Soon The Landry News gets more attention than either Cara or her teacher bargained for, as the principal uses the paper to try to get Mr. Larson fired. While the whole town is swept up in a dramatic debate over The Landry News and the First Amendment, Mr. Larson uses the controversy as raw material for some of the finest teaching of his career. And Cara and her classmates learn the importance of tempering a newspaper's truth with mercy. But will their lessons cost Mr. Larson his job? Written by the author of the immensely popular "Frindle," this is a compelling new novel about the collision of a student in need of a teacher with a teacher in need of inspiration.
The Last Holiday Concertby Andrew Clements
A moving holiday story from New York Times bestselling author Andrew Clements.For Hart Evans, being the most popular kid in sixth grade has its advantages. Kids look up to him, and all the teachers let him get away with anything -- all the teachers except the chorus director, Mr. Meinert. When Hart's errant rubber band hits Mr. Meinert on the neck during chorus practice, it's the last straw for the chorus director, who's just learned he's about to lose his job due to budget cuts. So he tells the class they can produce the big holiday concert on their own. Or not. It's all up to them. And who gets elected to run the show? The popular Mr. Hart Evans. Hart soon discovers there's a big difference between popularity and leadership, and to his surprise, discovers something else as well -- it's really important to him that this be the best holiday concert ever, and even more important, that it not be the last.

Bizarre Mature Dildo Site Facts
Bizarre Mature Dildo Review
Bizarre Mature Dildo is a pretty old site, having launched back in 2006. It had a short run, too, calling it quits in 2007. Since then no updates have been made. As you might expect this has effected the quality of the media options which feel quite limited and dated. There were a total of 31 episodes that come in two formats only: full-length MP4 files that are iPod-optimized and shorter clips in larger, good quality MPEG files. Running times averaged around 30 minutes, which is pretty long for this sort of porn. I wish there was a good streaming options as well as more format options (like Windows Media or QuickTime formats).
There were picture galleries with all of these episodes as well. They captured the same action, which is almost always just one real mature amateur fucking a very big black dildo. She will strip naked and play with her breasts and pussy before finding creative ways to fill her tight holes with the black anaconda. She will hump and ride it, lay on her back and thrust it between her spread thighs and drive herself to an orgasm. You can browse through the high-resolution photographs online or download them in easy to grab zip files that are provided. Most sets averaged about 50 images.
All of the models here are real matures, by the way, and also real amateurs. They aren't polished beauty but raw talent right off the street. The average age is in the mid forties and they look every bit of their age. Soft bodies, natural curves, a little extra weight for most, some are even BBWs, and average looks. These are the ladies that live and work around you, not those barbie models and pornstars. If you want something real, you can get that here.
The site is small and not updating so the 16 bonus sites play a huge roll in deciding to join. I think they are what convince me this site is still worthwhile, even with its faults. Most sites offer HD and update regularly. They include titles like Mature.nl, Bizarre Mature Sex Old and Young Gangbang, Kinky Mature Gangbang, Granny Channel, Teens Love Old men, Mature Madness, Mature Sex Party and Creampie Mature to name just a few.
Bizarre Mature Dildo is a small inactive site but its porn is worth seeing. The huge number of bonus sites, videos and galleries included at no extra cost are what make this site worth joining, though. All of them revolve around real mature amateurs in really hardcore sex scenarios that are exciting and erotic. Fans of matures need to visit this site and network.

KDE OBS Generator Builds KDE Packages for Various Distros
Building distro-specific packages is not one of the strengths of most developers. The KDE OBS Generator should solve this problem with the help of openSUSE Build Services.
The idea for kde-obs-generator emerged from CampKDE and FOSDEM. Since then, Novell employee Lubo Lunák has uploaded its first developer version on kde-apps.org. The program creates RPM and Debian packages for openSUSE Build Services (OBS) supported distros without having to know very much about package building. A few command line commands in kde-obs-generator will easily create packages, according to Lunák. He has tested it on Plasma, KDM and KSplash themes, simple wallpapers and, of course, KDE apps themselves. The tool should greatly simplify uploading content to the kde-apps.org site, for example.
The list of supported distros currently includes openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, Kubuntu and the SUSE Linux Enterprise products. Unfortunately Debian is currently excluded because "Lenny," the only supported release, does not deliver KDE 4 packages. First attempts to solve this problem are under way.
Lunák ends his blog with a request for non-SUSE users to find a better solution than the current manual installation using http://download.opensuse.org. There's always hope that OBS will provide the repositories sometime soon.

Keith Dudzinski enters the seventh season of his second stint on the UMass coaching staff in 2010, as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Dudzinski, who previously worked with the Minutemen from 1998-2001, returned to UMass under former head coach Don Brown, after spending two years at Northeastern University.
The Minuteman defense has been one of the top in the nation over the last six years. IN 2009 Tyler Holmes had a tremendous season as he was named All CAA after racking up 100 tackles. He heads into 2010 as a Preseason All-American. In 2008, guided by Dudzinski UMass had one of the top linebacker corps in the nation led by All-CAA first-team selection Josh Jennings. The explosive linebacker was a three-time CAA Defensive Player of the Week in racking up 90 total takes. Jennings was joined by fellow seniors George Byrd and Andrew Resende-Gomes at linebacker.
The 2007 season was no different as the Minutemen led the CAA in total defense, giving up just 309.6 yards per game and scoring defense, allowing 19.2 points per game. The Minutemen also led the CAA in sacks, tackles for loss and passing efficiency defense. The UMass defense had five first-team All-CAA selections including linebackers Jason Hatchell and Charles Walker, who worked directly with Dudzinski.
Hatchell, who was a Buchanan Award candidate, as the top defensive player in the nation, was also named an All-American. He piled up 115 tackles and finished his career with 360 tackles, sixth in UMass history. He also third in career assisted tackles with 206. Walker is also on the top 10 lists in career tackles and assisted tackles after he led UMass with 116 tackles in 2007. Walker finished ninth in career stops with 340 and fourth in assists with 199.
UMass' defense was impressive all season as the Minutemen advanced to the National Championship game in 2006. The Minutemen led the nation in scoring defense until that championship game, finishing fifth, giving up 13.33 points per game. The Minutemen finished in the top 20 nationally in nine defensive statistics.
Dudzinski worked directly with three all-conference linebackers in Hatchell, Walker and Brad Anderson. All three players racked up more than 100 tackles on the season. All-American Hatchell, emerged as one of the nation's top tacklers as he finished second in the conference with 134 stops. Walker and Anderson each earned Second-Team All-Conference as they racked up 131 and 112 tackles, respectively. On defense, UMass had eight all-conference picks, most of any school as part of the all-time conference record 20 honorees.
During the 2005 season, Dudzinski coached UMass to the top defense in the nation in terms of fewest points allowed per game, giving up just 13.27 per contest. The Minutemen led the A-10 in five defensive categories as they ranked in the top nation's top five in four of those statistics. UMass topped the conference in total yardage defense, passing defense, pass efficiency defense and net punting along with scoring defense.
Working with the linebackers, he coached two A-10 second-team honorees in two-time team captain Serge Tikum and Hatchell, who led UMass in tackles with 107 - to rank eighth in the league. The defense also included two-time consensus first-team All-American Shannon James and all-league selections defensive end Keron Williams and safety James Ihedigbo.
In 2004, Dudzinski headed up a UMass defense which featured consensus first-team All-American Shannon James, who led the nation in interceptions. With the linebacker corps, Dudzinski coached a group that included Tikum and Walker, who tied the UMass school record for tackles in a game with 23 vs. Delaware on Sept. 25, 2004.
In 2002 and 2003, Dudzinski spent two seasons as linebackers coach at Northeastern under Don Brown, in addition to serving as defensive coordinator in 2003. He directed the career of first team All-American and two-time first team All-Atlantic 10 selection Liam Ezekiel, who made 140 total tackles in 2003. During the 2002 season, the Huskies allowed opponents only 299.3 total yards and 16.0 points per game, while in 2003 they gave up just 338.2 total yards and 18.2 points per contest. During the 2002 campaign, Dudzinski helped lead Northeastern to an overall record of 10-3, a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference title and the school's first-ever trip to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs.
During his first stint as an assistant coach at UMass under Mark Whipple, Dudzinski served in a variety of roles on the defensive side of the ball. He coached the secondary in 2001, the linebackers in 1999 and 2000, and the defensive line in 1998, in addition to directing UMass' special teams from 1999-2001. Dudzinski guided the career of Kole Ayi, who was a two-time first team All-American and two-time Buck Buchanan Award finalist under his direction.
Dudzinski first joined the UMass staff after spending four years at Brown under Whipple as the defensive line coach for the Bears. Dudzinski helped the Brown defense hold opponents to just 194 total points during the 1997 season (19.4 points per game) -- the fewest number of points allowed by the school in 10 years. While at Brown, he helped develop two-time first-team All-Ivy defensive tackle Brendan Finneran (1996 and 1997).
Prior to coming to Brown, Dudzinski was a defensive assistant at New Haven under Whipple for three years (1991-93), working with the outside linebackers. He has also worked as an assistant coach at Kolbe Cathedral High School in Bridgeport, Conn., and St. Joseph's High School in Trumbull, Conn.
Dudzinski is a 1991 graduate of the University of New Haven, where he was an All-New England linebacker and team captain as a senior. He and his wife, Kathy, reside in Belchertown with their son, Jack (born April 13, 1996), and two daughters, Mary Kathryn (born March 19, 1998) and Elizabeth (born November 10, 2003).

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Mega Millions winning numbers for December 27, 2011 has earned a New York resident fortunes, officials tell news. The Mega Millions winning numbers for December 27 were chosen by a single player. Today they are about $206 million richer. Mega Millions had grown to Tuesday's amount after no one chose Friday's numbers, then worth $173 million.
Officials tell news that the single winner has yet to come forward. Tuesday's win was historic. It marked the second Mega Millions win in New York in excess of $200 million. The last honor was achieved in June of last year, but was shared by twenty workers.
Mega Millions representatives tell news that Tuesday's win was close to the largest ever in company history. In March 2007, the winnings reached $390 million.
The winner, for now, hasn't come forward. They will get roughly $151.9 million after taxes. The winning numbers were: 23, 32, 33, 39 and 43, and the "Mega Ball" number was 8.
Mega Millions is sold in forty two states. Earlier this year, one person won $319 million. That Mega Millions winning ticket was sold at Coulson's News Center, says store clerk Steve Gallucci told news at the time.
In January, Holly Lahti of Rathdrum, Idaho made news after she won half of the $380 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot. Holly Lahti, confirmed officials, shared the record lottery amount with Jim and Carolyn McCullar. Shortly after news of her win was released, Lottery Director Jeff Anderson told press that Lahti asked that her age, hometown, and place that she bought her ticket not be released to news. "She requested that the media respect their privacy and do not try to communicate with it until you are ready to talk with you, " said Anderson. But shortly thereafter all such details were obtained by local news.

College Hockey:MIAC picks: Nov. 30
Talk about taking one on the chin. Last week, my picks were straight up horrible. I went 3-6, and now my record is a ho-hum 18-18. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of making predictions, I get thrown back down to reality in a hurry.
This week, it looks like I will only be picking games in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, as no nonconference games are on the slate until next weekend. So, it's time for me to conjure up some good luck and hope I can get back on track. One blow to the chin is enough.
Friday Nov. 30 and Saturday Dec. 1
Hamline vs. Bethel
These two teams will play a home-and home, starting with the Royals hosting the Pipers on Friday night. Bethel is tied for second in the conference, and two more wins would keep it in contention for the title. The Royals have lost their last three games, but they should end that slide against the Pipers. I expect them to get their offense rolling this weekend and get different players involved in the scoring. Hamline has had a tough time slowing teams down. and hasn't been effective on offense either, scoring two or fewer goals in five of its last six games. The Pipers will compete hard on both nights and have a chance to win if Joe Rubbelke comes up big, as he has all season, but my guess is the Royals will sweep the series. Bethel 5-2, 4-1
Gustavus-Adolphus vs. Augsburg
It's hard to believe the Gusties have yet to win a game in conference play, but that should change this weekend with this home-and-home series against the Auggies. Gustavus will open the series on the road, and should have enough offensive firepower to be successful against Augsburg, which has only scored 12 goals this year while allowing 18. The difference in this series could be the play of goalie Patrick Sullivan. Derek Loisel and B.J. McClellan will need to have strong performances if Augsburg is going to avoid a sweep this weekend. Gustavus-Adolphus 4-1, 3-2
Concordia at St. Thomas
The Tommies are the best team in the conference right now and appear to be picking up momentum on both ends of the ice. They have scored 24 goals. and have been one of the best in limiting goals for opponents, having given up only 15 on the year. Michael Krieg and Alex Niestrom have played key roles offensively, and Tyrone Simcoe owns a league-best save percentage of .964. Chris Beede has played well for Concordia, scoring four goals on the year, and three other players have at least two goals. The Cobbers have lost three of their last four, but only one of those games was decided by more than a goal. I expect Concordia to be competitive in both games, but it will be tough to knock off St. Thomas on the road. St. Thomas 4-3, 5-2
St. Olaf vs. St. Mary's
This could very well be the most intriguing matchup of the weekend. Both teams have played well early in the conference and both are hoping to contend for a conference championship. St. Mary's will open the series at home and look for Mike Hill to continue his strong start to the season. He enters the weekend with five goals and six assists. The Cardinals have been very productive on offense, leading the league in goals scored (32), and they do a tremendous job of moving the puck around, as they have tallied 40 assists. St. Olaf is still trying to work on things offensively, but its goaltending play has been solid. The Oles, who are coming off a pair of shutout losses on an East Coast trip, will give themselves a shot of at least a split behind the play of goalies Henrik Wood and Steve Papciak, who have combined for 249 saves. I can't see one of these teams coming away with a sweep. I expect two competitive games and a split in the series. St. Mary's 5-2, St. Olaf 3-1

There's about to be a shake-up in the Bay District School System, and it's likely to be very emotional for a lot of people.
Because of the drastic budget cuts the district is facing from the state, Superintendent Bill Husfelt announced today that his staff is devising a plan to rezone and repurpose most of the schools in the district.
That could mean some schools will close.
Just a few weeks into his new position as Bay District School Superintendent, it's already time for Bill Husfelt to make serious budget decisions. During a workshop Tuesday afternoon he suggested a number of schools be closed and repurposed. Some of them will result in direct savings; others will initially cost the district to make the changes. But in the end it will save more than $3.8 million.
Husfelt says he wishes he didn't have to visit this topic, but with a grim budget outlook it's unavoidable.
Educators know they're facing more than a $7 million budget shortfall this year. And the projected loss for the 2009-2010 school year is already $11.7 million.
"Most people know that 85-86 percent of our funding goes towards personnel so we are very worried about how this is going to affect staff and teachers and administrators and support people. This is something we can't take lightly and we have to balance our budget as required by law so we're going to have some hard decisions to make immediately," said Husfelt.
Outside of the immediate changes, repurposing will help with savings in 2009.
Husfelt's suggesting the district cancel their contract with community education partners and close emerald bay academy for a savings of $2.7 million.
Oakland Terrace Elementary will be repurposed to become an alternative middle school.
"There are a lot of things we have to go into and a lot of decisions we have to make that are tied directly to emotion, but we have to make a business approach and business decisions based on how we can survive these cuts coming from the state," said Husfelt.
Millville Elementary will be repurposed into Margaret K. Lewis School, saving the district $756,500.00. Two schools, Jinks and Everitt Middle Schools, will become K-8 schools. Springfield Elementary will be redesignated, though Husfelt says he has no idea yet what they will do with the school.
For many, these changes will be painful.
"To see the tears in people's eyes, I've already seen that this week, because they knew it was coming. They didn't know what exactly but that it was coming. So we're just going to pray a lot and count our blessings and go forth from here and hopefully make a better day for the entire District," said Ann Walsingham, Millville Elementary Principal.
Rezoning will also be a major project this year. Very few campuses will go untouched but school officials say the moves are necessary for the district to survive.
"I'm a little sad because we have a lot of wonderful things going on but we're going to have a positive attitude and some tough decisions have to be made at this time unfortunately due to the economy," said Harriet Taylor, Springfield Elementary Principal.
None of these changes are definite. The school board will have to approve Husfelt's recommendations during an actual board meeting. And the public will have the opportunity to speak for, or against, the changes during a public hearing.
In the meantime the board members are encouraging you to contact them with any suggestions you might have.
Their email addresses are available on the Bay District website.
Husfelt and the board members say a number of problems will likely come up as these events progress. Some of the issues they're already preparing for include transportation, school choice, and even school uniforms. But they say they're ready to face these challenges in these tough economic times.
There is one other change Husfelt is proposing, but it won't be a direct savings. He wants to move Shaw programs to Haney Technical Center. These programs receive workforce education dollars as an allocation.

As Nemo says, 'Haje takes photography seriously, yet his books and spoken comments are lively and far-reaching, with a sense of humor' – and we couldn't agree more!
On the podcast, Haje talks about his latest book, The Rules of Photography and When to Break Them. The book, which takes you through the different aspects of shooting from planning to processing, is an essential guide for all new photographers who want to learn how to take good photographs – and then to take great ones. As Haje explains, photographers need to be rebels in order to make their mark, to stand out from the crowd. Learning the rules will teach you the photographic fundamentals; breaking the rules will make your photography creative and exciting. But of course, you first need to know the rules in order to break them.
In the interview you'll hear Haje and Nemo exploring everything from depth of field and focus to street and travel photography, as well as the One Rule Never to Break. You'll also hear mention of EVIL cameras. It might sound sinister, but EVIL photography is, in fact the 'hottest recent development in digital imaging' according to our resident photo-geeks. If this catches your attention be sure to check out Haje's Creative EVIL Photography.

Edmonton hopes he can rectify an awful goaltending situation up north that has seen incumbent Devan Dubnyk post a 4-10-1 record to go along with a .354 GAA and .889 Sv%.Dubnyk, the team's first-round pick in 2004, showed flashes of brilliance in his first four pro seasons, finally allowing the Oilers to let his safety net in Nikolai Khabibulin to walk away as a free agent after last season, but the 6-foot-6 goalie has struggled behind a young team that can't seem to find chemistry admidst youth and free agent signings. He certainly has the size and talent to star in the NHL ranks, but he can't be expected to do it alone for a team that's giving up 31 shots per game to its opponents.Edmonton remains in the cellar as the League's second-worst team with a 5-15-2 record, and with the team's young stars growing tired of answering for the lack of results. Perhaps it was that frustration bubbling over, or the idea of playing the rival Flames (who are also struggling, but appear to at least have a plan in Calgary), but the Oilers put a five-game losing streak to bed on Saturday with a 4-2 win.While Bryzgalov has had his share of success at the NHL, he may not be the answer up in Edmonton, after all, the Flyers did pay him $23 million to not be their goaltender this season. He starred in Dave Tippett's system in Phoenix, but was unable to replicate the success in a mess in Philadelphia, despite the team trading away future Vezina winner Sergei Bobrovsky to make room for his seven-year $51 million deal.If it's not success, there's one thing 'Bryz' will bring with him to Alberta: a propensity for being a funny, quotable player who isn't afraid to off the beaten path with interviews. If that that reason only, everyone should be glad the NHL's spaceman back. http://youtu.be/ImyZwG8Yf78 Comments

Three Flames Earn All-Conference Accolades
Nov. 19, 1999
CHICAGO - The UIC volleyball team put two players on the All-MCC second team and one on the All-Newcomer team as the Midwestern Collegiate Conference postseason awards were handed out tonight at the MCC Volleyball Tournament banquet.
Junior Jackie Utz (Chicago, Ill./Queen of Peace) and senior Kelly Colangelo (Chicago, Ill./Reavis/Purdue) were named to the All-MCC second team, while freshman Gina Caneva (Lockport, Ill./Lockport) earned a spot on the six-person all-newcomer team.
Utz, who was named to the all-newcomer team as a freshman, was the MCC?s leader in kills per game and sixth in the conference in digs per game this season. Colangelo was the league leader in digs per game and was fifth in kills per game. Middle hitter Gina Caneva led all UIC newcomers in kills, being used as a stopper in the middle off the Flames? bench.

I'm not going to waste the rest of my night watching the Red Wings put in zero effort in Montreal so I'm writing my postgame thoughts up in the middle of the second period.
It's not the lack of Nicklas Lidstrom that has Detroit looking this bad. Missing Lidstrom doesn't cause Jimmy Howard to screw up on the third and fourth goals against. Missing Lidstrom doesn't cause Niklas Kronwall to pinch in on that third goal. It doesn't cause some of the stupid penalties.
If you want to say this is what Life After Lidstrom will look like, remember that the Red Wings aren't going to replace Lidstrom with Mike Commodore when he retires. They're going to take Lidstrom's salary and put it towards another top defnseman. No, it won't be an even trade, but it won't be the lineup we see tonight.
Tonight is an anomaly. Like the loss in Washington in October. A game to learn from, of course, but hardly a reset of the status quo.
It's a rare matchup tonight, with the Detroit Red Wings visiting the Montreal Canadiens in their only meeting of the season and the last game before the All-Star break.
The Red Wings will be without captain Nicklas Lidstrom, who's suffering from the flu. Mike Commodore and Jakub Kindl will both be in on the blue line. No other lineup changes are expected.
Lidstrom will be the focus of the "NHL 36" episode set to air on NBCSN before the game. NHL 36 is at 6:30, followed by NHL Live at 7:00, with the game at 7:30.
I may join this one in action, I've got an appointment at 6:30.
You know what I hate most about the other team scoring on a national broadcast? Pierre McGuire talking...
4-0???? Really?!?!? In one period?!?! WTF!
I cannot watch this. I hope when they look back on this season they don't kick themselves for sacrificing these 2 points (and the others lost in games like this). I hope this game doesn't matter.
I switched to my recorded copy of NHL 36 on intermission. I see I missed two goals. I think I'm done for the night.
This is f*cking ridiculous! Can we look like we are at least halfway interested in this game? I get the all-star blues bust seriously? Six unanswered goals with 15 minutes to go? For f*cks sake, this is supposed to be one of the best rivalries of all time and this is what the fans get in the only meeting of the season?
Some of these guys should get a few games in Grand Rapids for such a p*ss poor showing! I'm sure a few of those guys would give more effort than what we have seen thus far.

0n Aug. 26, 2014, Examiner.com was on the scene for the second day of the US Open as a guest of American Express. We had the opportunity to attend the evening matches which featured a duel between Roger Federer and Marinko Matosevic and Serena Williams and Taylor Townsend. Our evening began with a tour of the American Express Fan Experience, which is a pop up two floor lounge open to card members and non card members alike.
It also has a full sized indoor tennis court. When we first entered the space, we were invited to register for a blue RFID-enabled wristband. The band collected our experiences and then sent us a personalized email that recapped the activities in which we participated in the Fan Experience. Next, Michele Carr, American Express' Director of Sports Sponsorship and Strategy, took us on a tour of the space. I went to the swing analysis booth where advanced technology analyzed my swing and ranked me. The program measured my impact position, racquet speed and spin rate.
Another fun highlight of the lounge was the 180 degree photo opportunity, where I was able to take a cool photo of me serving. There were also free charging lockers and American Express Radios available, where we listened to live commentary. When we headed to the IBM station there was interesting music playing. These sounds were generated via an algorithm from the live tennis match. IBM teamed up with producer and musician James Murphy for this exhibit. Murphy was in attendance when we were touring the space. Murphy will take the soundtrack from the matches and create an original album.
In the IBM corner there was also a cool interactive exhibit displaying the history of tennis fashion. Soon we headed back up the second level of the lounge only open to card members, where food and drinks are available for purchase. There was a really fun interactive exhibit with Sloane Stephens, where fans could pose with a hologram of Sloane for a fashion picture or working out. Soon it was time for the match to begin. The biggest name in attendance was Michael Jordan. He came to support Federer who was wearing Jordans, of course. We also spotted Federer's good friend Anna Wintour, Jim Caviezel, Mariska Hargitay, her son August Miklos Friedrich Hermann, her goddaughters and Henrik Lundqvist. Of course, Federer and Williams won, but it was fun to see them in action.
For anyone who wants to go to Brooklyn, Amex EveryDay will be sponsoring US Open Live presented by the Amex EveryDay Card, daily viewing parties at Pier 1 at Brooklyn Bridge Park from Saturday, Aug. 30, 2014 through Sept. 8, 2014. The live broadcast of the US Open will be shown on the big screen from 11:00 a.m. until match play ends each day. Select days will feature fun activities including kid's tennis courts and a picnic set-up. The first 500 guests to arrive on Aug. 30 and 31 and Sept. 1, 6, 7 and 8 will receive a specially-curated picnic basket at the start of the first session for each day from one of these famed chefs: Tom Colicchio (featuring 'wichcraft), Thomas Keller (featuring Bouchon Bakery) and Daniel Boulud (featuring Épicerie Boulud).

The Sea Rovers Brethren take Mauritius
Hope the Governor wasn't too up set when Boson Leigh and First Wench Louise captured Mauritius in Sea Rovers name. Hear to tell that no blood was spilled but much Rum was quaffed, which is a very messy way of drinking at the best of times.

Kindle for PC offers many of the options you'll find on the hardware reader, plus full-color images in several books. Some are speculating the latter might mean that a color Kindle is on its way. You can also read notes and highlights created on your Kindle device, but you can't create them on your PC for now, nor you will be able to access blogs, newspapers or magazines from within the app -- which is not really a big deal given you'll be sitting at your computer anyway.
Windows 7 users can use multi-touch pinching gestures to zoom in, and in future releases, turn pages with finger swipes. Other upcoming features include a search function and the ability to zoom in or rotate images. Amazon's well-known brand name in the market will probably help it shift a lot of books directly to computers, we only hope they'd loosen the DRM restrictions.

After being banned from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Lars Von Trier wasted no time in getting started on his next controversial film(s) that would cause more of an uproar than his anti-semitic comments did three years ago. The latest film "Nymphomaniac" which is released in two volumes, chronicles the life of a self diagnosed sex addict played by a frequent Von Trier collaborator, Charlotte Gainsbourg.
It was revealed early on that not only would the film be sexually explicit, bordering on pornographic, but all of the sex acts in the film would not be simulated, using CGI to superimpose the body parts of adult film actors over the mainstream actors in the movie.
When asked about the impetus for the film, Von Trier responded, "my DP on [Melancholia], Manuel Claro, at one point voiced a surprising prejudice. He urged me not to fall into the trap that so many aging directors fall into – that the women get younger and younger and nuder and nuder. That's all I needed to hear. I most definitely intend for the women in my films to get younger and younger and nuder and nuder."
Having only viewed the shorter version of the first part, the art house picture will immediately turn off many mainstream viewers. With a thin plot, the film uses visual metaphors to break up long scenes of dialogue. It can never be said that Von Trier's films are not original. Filled with jump cuts, at times pretentious cutaways and an episodic narrative, the film gives originality another definition.
Littered with stars, most notably Uma Thurman, in a breathtaking cameo scene that one wishes lasted through the rest of the volume, the chemistry on screen works all around.
Of course, it's newcomer Stacy Martin, who from certain angles resembles a blossoming Emma Watson, that commands your attention. Playing young Jo, Ms. Martin adds depth Jo's lost soul. It's in the final moments of this volume, however, that Ms. Martin truly shines. Stringing us along through the film with her subtlety and then, like any perfectly orchestrated music piece, allowing us the climax we've been holding on for at the very last moment.
Sex is dealt with in "Nymphomaniac" the way violence is dealt with in "The Godfather," an everyday occurrence, even viewed as a necessity. Familiar with the subject of female sexuality, Mr. Von Trier gives us something more than just sweaty parts and the glorification of the nude body (and there's no nude body part left unexamined by the end of the first volume). We glimpse the harshness of sex, the cruel way pleasure turns into pain and the theme of self destruction through every area of our soul.
Those seeking out the visual Von Trier will find beautiful imagery with a visual metaphor concerning fishing. One scene that shocks as well as inspires involves an older Jo attempting to participate in a threesome with two well hung gentlemen. While the two men argue over "the plan" to have sex with her, we are in a visual triangle with Jo in the middle and the two mens penises in the foreground, fighting their battle. It's a small but wonderful example of Von Trier's idiosyncratic style.
The film, divided into chapters, can be hard to take in one sitting. Hardcore sex, violence, a floating plot and a subject matter too intimate for most viewers to consume, it's a hard film to recommend and yet to appreciate true art, all of Von Trier's films must be seen. As Von Trier and his subjects fear nothing, we as the audience need to open ourselves up, let go of our self inflicted censorship and let art, uncomfortable as it may be at times, into our hearts.
Both volumes of "Nymphomaniac" are playing in selected cities.

With Jailbreaking and Unlocking there is a strange game of cat and mouse played between the jeailbreakers and Apple. It would appear that this game has also extended to the new Palm Pre.
Palm has released its new Web OS 1.1 and it fixes the issue that Apple just patched with the latest version of iTunes. So that means that you can still sync your Palm Pre with iTunes if you have the newest version of the Web OS.
Other improvements are emoticons and full exchange support, but between you and me the best part is Palm's back hand to Apple and their iron grip on iTunes.

Mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in China for their amazing medicinal properties, and they are an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine. Their amazing benefits come largely from the fact that the active compounds in mushrooms are not only highly beneficial, but their simple, natural structure allows them to be more easily digested and absorbed by the body.
Medicinal mushrooms are natural, safe, and hugely beneficial to your dog's health.
While there certainly are poisonous mushrooms out there, getting mushrooms from a professional, trusted, reliable source guarantees that only the safest, most beneficial mushrooms are used.
The supplements sold online and at K9 Critical Care, Mushroom Science and Healthy Dogma are naturally grown and carefully handled to ensure the most benefits for your dog.
There are so many fantastic reasons to use mushrooms as a health supplement, and entire books have been written on the topic. The most noteworthy and relevant benefits are:
Mushrooms Improve the Immune System
Mushrooms are known for their great immune system benefits. They boost white blood cell levels and improve blood flow to the brain and heart, making your dog's body stronger and more capable of fighting off infection before it becomes a problem.
Mushrooms Fight off Illnesses
Mushrooms show significant effects on illnesses like the cold and the flu, as well as chronic sickness such as asthma; mushrooms lower the amount and severity of asthma attacks and other chronic issues, both in humans and in animals. They are even known to help lower the risk of cancer, and make existing cancers more manageable.
Mushrooms Help Lower Stress
By relaxing muscles and lowering blood pressure, mushrooms are a highly effective means of treating stress and anxiety. Additionally, mushrooms lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL), which reduces stress on the body and can also aid in anxiety prevention.
From enhancing bone marrow to easing arthritis pain, mushrooms contribute to an overall state of health and wellness. They also improve energy and vitality safely and naturally, and can be absorbed quickly and easily, without putting undo strain on your dog's digestive system.
Check out the above online stores to see what kind of mushroom varieties are available to your dogs, and to learn even more about the benefits that they and have on your pet today. Keep man's best friend in optimal health by adding a new supplement to his daily routine and watching him enjoy the numerous, natural benefits of medicinal mushrooms.

Nothing makes a day drag like a pair of uncomfortable shoes. Unless, of course, you're wearing a pair of Pointer kicks. This London footwear label prioritizes comfort, creating fun, quality shoes that can be worn with anything and won't put you through pedal pain.
Using graphically colourful contrasts to amp up a leather plimsole design, or create a sueded red ankle bootie with soft leather sole, Pointer is all about keeping up style without following trends. The company's tag line claims "Pointer just wants to play," and they succeed in making feet happy by not sacrificing quality.
Pointer is fast becoming an alternative answer to big name sneaker brands. Based out of London's East End, Pointer is available online, and in stores. The current collection is fantastic, but we can't wait until the spring/summer '09 line is revealed in the coming weeks.
For more information, see www.pointerfootwear.com.
