College Hockey:Zanette Scores Two as Niagara Edges RIT
Noonan Stops 30
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The RIT-Niagara non-conference series has developed into a nice rivalry, guaranteeing sellout crowds. Lately, Niagara has dominated the series, going 5-0-2 in their last seven meetings. They made it 6-0-2 Saturday, as Niagara defeated RIT, 3-2, ending the Tigers ten-game unbeaten streak. The turning point of the game came with an RIT major penalty early in the third.
"For us to answer in the third, that was the biggest 20 of the year," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said.
After each team scored just one goal in the first two periods, the teams exploded for three goals in the first 5:54 of the final period, which decided the game.
First, Niagara took the lead, 2-1, at 1:39. Bryan Haczyk's shot from the right side was stopped by Jared DeMichiel, but the rebound went out to the opposite side. Paul Zanette was there to shoot it into the unguarded portion of the net as DeMichiel tried to dive across the goalmouth to stop it.
The teams then traded goals within 19 seconds during a five-minute penalty against RIT. Brent Alexin was given a major and game misconduct for kneeing. However, the Tigers took advantage of it first with a short-handed tally at 5:35.
Stevan Matic raced into the Niagara zone down the left side with a teammate to his right on a two-on-one. Matic kept the puck, winding up and firing a rocket into the opposite side of the goal.
Niagara quickly answered, as they applied heavy pressure in front of the RIT net. After DeMichiel made numerous difficult saves, Egor Mironov finally put it past DeMichiel for a 3-2 lead.
"That was a huge goal," Burkholder said. "Nice play by Egor. To respond after the shorty, there were times in the season we would have packed it in."
"I was really happy," RIT coach Wilson said. "We really didn't give them anything. They just turned and threw it out in front. We just played short-handed too long in the third to mount something. We got tired."
Niagara took the initial lead at 5:36 of the first. C.J. Chartrain's shot from the right point got slowed on the way to the net. This caused DeMichiel to be out of sync and thus out of balance when the puck got to him, and he was unable to play it. Zanette picked up the loose puck, dragged it around a now out of position DeMichiel, and easily deposited it into the open net.
The first period did not see much five-on-five hockey, as seven minors were called with just a brief overlap for two of them. Thus, only slightly more than six minutes were played at full strength.
RIT tied the game midway through the contest. Scott Knowles won a battle behind the Niagara net and then found Alexin at the top of the crease. Knowles made a quick pass to Alexin, who just as quickly released a one-timer blast that easily blew by Chris Noonan.
Throughout the second period, the Tigers, whether on the power play or not, were doing an excellent job getting the puck down low, creating havoc for Noonan and his defensemen. However, RIT only managed the one goal, despite outshooting the Purple Eagles in that period, 12-6.
"I thought they really took it to us in the second," Burkholder said. "They are a great momentum team at home. They are really good at the cycle. They played really well."
"I thought in the second period we beat them, but I think we were trying to get too cute inside the blue line," Wilson said.
RIT had a late third period power play and then later pulled their goalie, but could not get the tying goal, despite some frantic action in front of Noonan, who came up with the big saves.
Noonan wound up with 30 saves while DeMichiel stopped 21 shots.
This will be the last time these teams will meet in a non-conference situation. Next year, Niagara joins Atlantic Hockey. Thus, this series can become an even bigger rivalry, as they will get to know each other a lot more in games that will mean a lot more.
"I think it's great," Wilson said. "It's going to be good for the fans. It's going to be good for Western New York."
RIT (9-6-1) is off until the first two days of the January, when they play a pair of games at Minnesota State.
Niagara (3-10-2) also travels out west the first weekend of 2010, competing in the Shillelagh Tournament in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. They go up against North Dakota in the first game.

Supermodel Christie Brinkley said Kim Kardashian is an undisputed beauty icon. Brinkley made the comments on an Instagram photo caption which showed her posing alongside Kardashian and actress Marlo Thomas.
"With two icons ... That Girl, Marlo Thomas, and that other girl who needs no introduction @KimKardashian!" Brinkley wrote on Instagram. "I think Kim is an undeniable icon of beauty. And having met her last night for the first time, I can only say she was sweet as could be."
Kardashian, Brinkley and Thomas spent the Fourth of July partying in the Hamptons with Kim's mother/manager, Kris Jenner, Katie Couric, and a bevy of other celebrities.
Low-Carb Ketogenic Atkins Diet Spurred 56-Lb Weight Loss
Kardashian, 33, looks better than ever after losing 56 pounds in six months on a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic-style Atkins diet that limited her daily carb intake to less than 60 grams, the LA Times reported. Kim, a self-proclaimed carb addict with a major sweet tooth, said she feels great and has lots of energy.
The 5-foot-2 Kim now weighs 125 pounds — five pounds less than her pre-pregnancy weight. In addition to going low-carb, Kardashian exercises almost every day, combining cardio workouts with strength-training and lots of squats. She varies her workouts, taking spinning classes at SoulCycle and Barry's Boot Camp sessions.
Kim isn't the only celebrity who has lost weight on the ketogenic-style Atkins diet. TV star Sharon Osbourne has maintained her 30-pound weight loss for more than two years by following an Atkins diet plan that limited her daily carb intake to 25 grams, Linda O'Byrne, Atkins chief nutritionist, told me.
The 5-foot-2 Sharon, who once weighed 230 pounds, said Atkins is the only diet that has enabled her to easily maintain her weight loss. In 1999, Osbourne lost over 100 pounds after undergoing lap-band surgery. She then regained 45 pounds after getting the band removed after the procedure left her weak and sick.
Sharon's weight fluctuated for years until she adopted a high-fat, low-carb, moderate-protein eating plan. Osbourne, an Atkins rep, said the best part of her LCHF diet is being able to stay slim without calorie restriction or deprivation.
LCHF Ketogenic Diet Aids Depression and Manages Cancer
In addition to speeding weight loss, research indicates the Atkins and ketogenic diets can fight depression and bipolar disorder. "The intake of natural fats, especially foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, are linked with improved mood and reduced risk of depression," explained O'Byrne.
Dr. Jeff Volek, a professor at the University of Connecticut, has followed a ketogenic diet for the past 20 years. He agrees it fuels fast weight loss, improves mood, and prevent diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer. "It was nothing short of an epiphany when I changed to a ketogenic diet 20 years ago," Dr. Volek told me. "I felt better, more satiated, and had more consistent energy."
The ketogenic diet has been around for decades, but has only recently begun to find mainstream acceptance as a way to accelerate weight loss and manage disease. A ketogenic diet has proven effective for controlling epileptic seizures, reversing type 2 diabetes, and even managing metastatic cancer.
Renowned cancer scientist Dr. Thomas Seyfried of Boston College told me the ketogenic diet beats chemotherapy for almost all cancers. "The standard of care has been an abysmal failure for cancer," said Dr. Seyfried.
Dr. Seyfried's years of research indicate that cancer is a metabolic — not a genetic — disease. And the best way to treat a metabolic disorder is through diet, not by pumping a patient full of toxic radiation.
"The ketogenic diet may one day replace the standard of care for most cancers," he said. "To those who doubt me, I say: 'Prove me wrong.'"

Chantel Jeffries has been making headlines the likes of which she's never made before since it was revealed she was with Justin Bieber when he was arrested Thursday in Miami!
Jeffries, who usually sits pretty as a Wilhelmena model and arm candy for NFL athletes, was reportedly sitting shotgun in Bieber's rented luxury whip early Thursday when the pop star was busted for a suspected DUI and drag racing. The singer also caught charges for driving without a license and resisting (without violence, it should be noted) an officer of the law.
Chantel Jeffries: The Model Passenger During Bieber's Wild Miami Night
Bieber's pal, aspiring singer Khalil Sharieff, was also arrested in the Jan. 23 incident for suspected DUI and drag racing against Bieber's Lamborghini in a red Ferarri. You can click here to read the full Justin Bieber arrest report as filed by police. (As far as we can tell, Jeffries herself wasn't charged with anything in this situation, though she has her own shady past which includes a 2011 assault charge. Check out her arrest record and mug shot here.)
Photos taken before the 19-year-old singer's arrest show Bieber, Sharieff and Jeffries partying at Set nightclub in Miami Beach; other pictures, originally posted to Sharieff's Instagram, show Chantel Jeffries and Bieber in the Lambo together. In some photos, Jeffries is driving, in others, Bieber is driving. In a couple of photos, Bieber and Sharieff are seen posing next to the cars.
Shortly after those photos were taken, Bieber and Sharieff found themselves being booked into a Miami-Dade jail on DUI charges. We're not sure just what happened to Jeffries Thursday morning besides probably gaining oodles of Twitter followers; maybe she'll update her Twitter and share!
For what it's worth, the Kardashian-esque model describes herself as "Student. Model. Eyebrow connoisseur. Animal lover. Deep thinker." on her social media bio. Stay tuned.

The earliest known fossil evidence of brooding behavior was presented in the March 13, 2014, edition of the journal Current Biology by a team of researchers led by University of Leicester geologist Professor David Siveter.
The newly discovered fossil is an ostracod. Ostracods are the ancestors of shrimp, lobsters, and crabs.
The 450 million-year-old fossils were found in mudstone rocks from New York State. The area at the time the ostracods lived is considered to have been mostly ocean.
The two to three millimeter long fossils were so well preserved that soft tissues and sex characteristics were retained.
The new species, Luprisca incuba, shows definite evidence of a routine incubation of eggs on or inside the female's body and delivery of live young. The presence of newly delivered young near the females is indicative of brooding behavior post birth. The researchers consider the location of live young to be indicative of an undefined term of association between the female ostracod and their young before the young became independent. Ostracods are considered to have traveled the oceans and waters of Earth in large groups much like shrimp.
This is the oldest evidence of brooding behavior in an animal ever seen in the fossil record.

Payroll employment in October
November 06, 2000
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 137,000 to 131.9 million in October, seasonally adjusted.
This compares to a September gain of 148,000 jobs (after adjusting for the net effect of strikes and the layoff of the last sizable contingent of temporary census workers). Over the first 8 months of the year, the average monthly gain (after similar adjustments for strikes and changes in the number of temporary census workers) was 195,000.
In October, employment gains occurred in several service-producing industry divisions and in construction and mining.
These data are a product of the BLS Current Employment StatisticsProgram. Find out more in "The Employment Situation: October 2000," news release USDL 00-320.

Abused and betrayed base brat
Or - How the military placed it's prestige and image before the well being of a group of sexually abused children on Canadian Forces Base Namao.
Well, over the next little while I will be posting my story from my childhood as a base brat on Canadian Forces Base Namao.
My family was stationed there from 1978 until October 1980.
Sadly a collision of fates would occur that would have a horrific effect on my life.
The really sad thing is it would take about 32 years for the truth to emerge.
And when that truth emerged it sent the Department of National Defence into defensive mode....
My story involves a a man who didn't want children, a mother who ran away from an abusive situation, a perverted babysitter, a kiddie diddling member of the Canadian Armed Forces and a military hellbent on keeping a secret dead and buried in the past.
This will be my story.
Everything that I have to say in this story is true. And for the most part I do have all of the information to back my claims up. Retrieving information from the Canadian Armed Forces is a very painful experience.
For example, my family was involved with the Military Social Worker Captain Terry Totzke of Western Command. I sent in an FOI to the military to get those files. Unfortunately, unless I can tell the military exactly where these files are stored and what information is contained in them, I can't gain access to them.
Some things, like my childhood medical records were actually part of my father's military service records, but they would have been purged and destroyed five years after my 18th birthday.
My father's service records sit in the Archives and Library Canada, all that remains of my childhood records is a copy of my original birth certificate.
If I'm ever in Ottawa, I might actually go see this.
By way of comparison, I ended up filing FOI requests with various civilian agencies across Canada.
I received copies of everything I ever asked for.
The IWK Children's Hospital had my actual birth records from the time my mother first entered Grace Maternity Hospital to give birth.
The IWK Children's Hospital also had about 200 pages worth of medical records on me from the time period of about 12 months to five years for various visits and stays at the hospital.
Prince Country Hospital had my records for a visit that I paid in July of 1978
Alberta Child and Family Services had my records.
The Children's Aid Society of Toronto had my records.
And yet the military had nothing. They claim they only archive stuff for a maximum of sevens years and then destroy it.
How convenient.

A man whose driver's license is revoked due to three previous convictions was arrested Sunday on suspicion of driving under the influence for the fourth time after he was allegedly caught with an open container of beer in his car.
Initially, James C. Hardy was stopped just after 3 a.m. for a taillight violation near the intersection of Memorial Boulevard and North Maple Street, but officers soon discovered he had been drinking, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department arrest report.
"I approached the vehicle and made contact with the driver," Officer Kenneth Collins reported. "I observed Hardy, who had bloodshot eyes and his speech was slurred, smelled of alcohol on his person. (I also noticed) there was an open container of Budweiser Ice in the center console of the van."
When Collins asked him if he had been drinking, Hardy allegedly admitted that he had consumed five beers prior to driving. The 32-year-old La Vergne resident also told Collins that he knew his license was revoked for a previous DUI conviction, according to the report.
"I attempted to conduct field sobriety tasks on Hardy, but he was too intoxicated to perform the tests and refused to continue after almost falling," Collins reported. "I asked Hardy why he would not continue, and he advised that he was too drunk."
Collins took Hardy into custody and placed him under arrest. Hardy was then transported to the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center, where he agreed to give a blood test.
Afterward, Hardy was booked into the Rutherford County jail on an unspecified amount of bond.
Hardy has since been charged with a fourth DUI offense, driving on a revoked license, and violation of the open container law, according to the report.
He is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on all the charges Tuesday, Jan. 8, in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.

Britney Spears hit a perilous new low on Thursday night when authorities reportedly responded to a family-custody dispute at her house in Studio City, California. According to TMZ.com and other outlets, the singer refused to turn over her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline, and authorities discovered her under the influence of an unidentified substance.
The Los Angeles Police Department was reportedly called to Spears' house after a person who has not been identified phoned authorities at 8 p.m. over a domestic disturbance. The call involved a "family custodial dispute that we are trying to resolve … peacefully by court order," LAPD spokesman Officer Jason Lee told The Associated Press. She was due to have her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, until 7 p.m. that day. UsMagazine.com later reported that Federline's bodyguards had gone to pick up the children at Spears' house, but she refused to turn them over, despite a court order to do so. An unnamed source told People.com that Spears' court-appointed monitor called police after "[the monitor] had already put [Sean] Preston in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden." Spears had been with the children since noon, according to UsMagazine.com. Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan had also been at the residence, TMZ reports.
Police went to Spears' home 90 minutes later, as did ambulances, fire trucks and a police helicopter, according to TMZ. While there, authorities reportedly found Spears "under the influence of an unknown substance," TMZ reports. She was later taken out of her home on a gurney by paramedics and taken to a local hospital, where she was reportedly placed under medical evaluation. Paparazzi photos of the incident show Spears smiling broadly as she is being held down by paramedics; an unnamed source told Usmagazine.com that the singer went "completely psycho" as she was rushed to the hospital. "They had to strap her down like a mental patient and she was going between laughing and hysterics," the source said. According to multiple reports, the children are in the custody of Federline, who has temporary custody of the children because Spears has not obeyed court orders.
At press time, the singer reportedly was still hospitalized under observation, with an unnamed hospital source telling Usmagazine.com that she has been designated a "special needs" patient, meaning "they have either overdosed or tried to commit suicide. So we go stay with these patients and monitor them constantly. We watch them so they don't hurt themselves and watch the people who come visit them to make sure they don't pass anything to them." Britney's friend Sam Lufti was seen leaving the hospital at around 2:20 a.m. People.com reported that Spears will be held on a minimum 72-hour lock down for mental evaluation, according to the unnamed source. CNN reported that Spears' three-day lockdown is a result of a part of California's "5150" law, which allows health professionals to involuntarily admit someone for up to three days if they are believed to be a threat to themselves or others.
An unnamed source also told the magazine that the singer's sons were both released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center shortly after 4 a.m. on Friday. They were driven away by one of Federline's bodyguards, who was pursued by the paparazzi as he left the area. Federline had reportedly returned to his Tarzana, California, home before the boys arrived.
Earlier in the day, Spears finally sat down for her long-awaited deposition in her child-custody battle, although she cut the session short and was only questioned for 14 minutes. She had been scheduled to start her deposition at 9:45 a.m. but didn't leave her home until after 10 a.m., according to photos and video taken of her drive to her ex-husband's lawyer's offices in Century City, California. By the time Spears arrived, she was 90 minutes late, and proceedings didn't start until just after 11:30 a.m., according to Kaplan.
"I would've preferred it had gone on longer," Kaplan told reporters waiting outside the deposition. Kaplan was expected to ask the pop star, who he called "cooperative," about her alleged drug and alcohol use around her sons, as well as her driving habits and parenting techniques. Whether he got the answers he sought, he wouldn't say, except to offer, "You can imagine in 14 minutes there's not a lot of time to develop questions."
Spears lawyer Sorrell Trope, a partner at the law firm Trope and Trope — which on Wednesday asked to be withdrawn as her legal counsel — told UsMagazine.com in reference to the Thursday night incident, "In a normal case when someone shows up with a certified court order saying the kids need to be somewhere else, the police see to it that the order is obeyed. But that is in a normal case."

Secrets of Success
Which number is right???
Wednesday, November 10, 2010
So I been using a pedometer for about a year now. I keep it in my pocket and track my steps, miles walked, and calories. I try to hit 7500 steps a day. Weekends I hit 12,000 to 13,000 due to the fact I don't ever stop moving on the week end. Between workout class at the gym and keeping up a 3 acre yard and just working around the house.
I recently bought at heart rate monitor watch that tracks heart rate , calories burned and so on. Last night I got on the treadmill and walk/run 38 minutes. According to the heart rate monitor I burned 358 calories which I didn't push the start button until after 7 minutes in so it only tracked it for 31 minutes. My treadmill said I went 1.52 miles and burned 160 calories. My pedometer said I walked a total of 7696 steps for the day, 3881 which were aerobic that as on the treadmill, but I only walked a total of 1.47 miles for the whole day. So when I tracked that in the fitness tracker here on SP I selected the 20 minute mile for 38 minutes and it said I only burned 169 calories.
So which is it. Should I go by the heart rate monitor because it kept track of my heart rate through out yjr workout and knew how hard I was working out? Did I not select the correct workout on the fitness tracker? Regardless of what the readings are I just happy I got back on that treadmill and stayed on.

I use to use a heart rate monitor until it started putting up unrealistic numbers. I realized this one day when I was jogging (15min/mile) on 2nd mile and it said my heart rate was at 50%... lol that was my resting heart rate! There was no way I was working that hard and it be that low. So I gave up on it. I have noticed that my treadmill and spark are close in the cal burn so I just go with it. however I have also noticed that my friends monitor shows lower cal burn for some of the other workouts I do then spark does... so I guess I just hope that somewhere it evens out! Whatever the cal burn keep up the great work!

Great job! I think the heart rate monitor is the best source for calories burned. I use mine religiously and it's ALWAYS different than what the elliptical shows! Sounds like you're doing all you can. Stick with it and I'm sure you'll see great results!!

It seems that they might be available on arrival, but I'm not sure if you have to have a letter of invitation first. There is not much information online and due to the climate there at the moment they might not be giving visas at all regardless of what it might say online.
I'm a British citizen, travelling with a Swedish citizen, but generic answers that apply to all nationalities are also OK.

Family Photo Books
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: Baby
In: Holidays , Arts & Crafts
Instructions:Filled with favorite photos, this is just the present for a relative or special family friend, particularly one your family sees less often than you'd like.
Assorted photos
Craft knife
4-ply and 2-ply rag board (sold at art supply stores)
26-inch-long piece of ribbon
Colored paper
Glue stick
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Choose seven favorites from a stack of family photos.
2. Use a craft knife to cut two 5- by 6 1/2-inch rectangles from the 4-ply rag board for the book covers. For the inner pages, cut one 5- by 39-inch rectangle from the 2-ply rag board. Lightly mark 6 1/2-inch increments along the long edges of the 2-ply rag board, and accordion-fold the sheet at those marks Use a ruler edge to press the folds into sharp creases.
3. Lay the ribbon on a tabletop and center the folded rag board on top so that the side with three creases is on the left and lines up with the midpoint of the ribbon Apply glue to the top of the folded rag board. Then lay the left side of the ribbon over the glued page and top with one of the book covers, pressing firmly until well stuck. Flip over the book and use the same method to attach the right side of the ribbon and the back cover.
4. Now, cut the colored paper into seven 4- by 5 1/2-inch rectangles. Glue one onto the center of each page and the front cover. Then glue the photos onto the colored paper. Finally, print the year on the front cover.
Open the album into a full circle, tie the ribbon binding into a bow and it's ready to display on an end table or dresser.

The next round of details is expected to be announced soon for "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokemon Omega Ruby." According to a report from Explosion on June 6, the latest issue of the "CoroCoro" Japanese magazine should provide some new information for both 3DS titles. It should be released sometime near the end of this month. Furthermore, the next episode of the "Pokemon Get TV" show may also include some new reveals for the two remakes. The same program provided a brief look at an in-game footage that was eventually uploaded by Nintendo on YouTube.
The "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokemon Omega Ruby" video provided a brief look at the same graphics engine that was used for "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y." It shows the two legendary monsters, Groudon and Kyogre, arriving during a battle sequence and changing the elements of the environments. Players were also teased that the mega evolution feature is returning with the new designs of the creatures.
In addition to the "CoroCoro" Japanese magazine and "Pokemon Get TV," Nintendo may also use the upcoming E3 2014 event to talk more about "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokemon Omega Ruby." The publisher already has a big lineup of titles on display with "Bayonetta 2" as well as "Super Smash Bros 4" for Wii U and 3DS. The company is also holding a small conference for a mysterious game for the handheld system during the convention.
The remakes of "Pokemon Ruby" and "Pokemon Sapphire" are due to come out sometime later this Nov. in all major region. Until then, Nintendo still has several events set up for the aforesaid "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y." Last year's games managed to sold 12 million copies so far combined in less than a year with several distribution events and tournaments being planned for 2014. An image showing one of the distribution event pocket monsters, the Fancy Pattern Vivillon, can be seen near the top of this article (courtesy of the official Nintendo Facebook page).

Screening & Prevention
Part of North Colorado Medical Center's mission to the community is to help keep residents heart healthy.
We offer a number of ongoing prevention programs and screenings including:
- CT heart score
- Body Check
- Peripheral artery disease screening
- Peripheral artery disease (ABI) screening
Visit our Community Wellness page for a complete listing of programs, including our cooking classes.
Heart Age Test
Heart Age Test
The procedure begins with a fast, painless CT exam. CT, more commonly known as CAT scanning, uses X-rays and multiple detectors to create interior images of the heart. By analyzing images of the coronary arteries, a cardiologist can determine how much calcified plaque the arteries contain.
A 10-minute consultation with a Wellness Specialist is included. The
consultation will focus on cardiac risk factor education, identification of non-modifiable and modifiable risks, and lifestyle behavior change options.
After your heart score is finished, we will share the results with you. If your coronary calcium score is high, you will be able to meet with a
CardioVascular Institute provider to discuss what your next steps should be.
- By appointment
- $199
- Call (970) 810-6070 to schedule your Heart Score
Body Check... What you need to know: Head to Toe

Delaware State Police are investigating a motorcycle crash that occurred around 9 p.m. Wednesday on Coastal Highway in Milton.
Police said 66-year-old James E.

Vincent of Milton. Police said Vincent was thrown from the motorcycle and onto the shoulder of the roadway. Police said Vincent was not wearing a helmet and was transported to Beebe Medical Center with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Take That Taylor Swift!!!
I bet Joe Jonas thought to himself, "Now put that in your pipe and smoke it," when he finished his new song that some think is about Taylor Swift. As we know, Taylor is the master of taking a broken relationship and turning it into a hit song. Looks like Joe took something else from their relationship... other than her heart, of course, and this time, he didn't even leave a voice mail!!!

The Trammell Crow Co. isn't winning any friends with their proposed Sam's Club development across from Cityplace. Now, news breaks that the development company has purchased another important piece of in-town real estate: the Chase Bank site adjacent to Klyde Warren Park.
As it exists today, the area north of Klyde Warren is pretty inhospitable to the stated goal of the deck park, namely, to stitch together Uptown and downtown. There's no sense of an organic pedestrian connection, few visual cues to draw people from the park to the McKinney and the rest of Uptown, and too many building back-ends, faceless facades, and parking lot entryways to give them a reason to do anything but stay packed on the park deck. The Chase Bank site offers the last, best chance to redevelop the area in a way that will really connect the area. That the responsibility of this vital development project now falls to Trammell Crow, the company that wants to stick a Sam's Club on a site that should be used to help the West Village jump Central Expressway, gives me pause. They have to get this development right, and getting it right in this case means building something that is nearly perfectly designed. Anything less will be a squandered opportunity we'll be forced to live with for at least a generation.

LeapFrog LeapsterGS pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
LeapFrog has announced a new updated and improved version of the LeapFrog LeapsterGS handheld games console and we've had a couple of plays with the new gaming device at different events in London ahead of its official launch in August in the UK.
The new LeapsterGS is the next generation of the company's Leapster Explorer. It has a thinner, sleek design, larger and higher-quality screen, built-in motion sensor plus camera and video recorder, the new faster LF 2000 processor and 4x the internal memory (2 GB).
As you can imagine, that spec boost makes a big difference and while the graphics aren't noticeably any different the load speeds and performance certainly are.
But it's not just about the specs, LeapFrog has added a new game to the device called "Escape of the Sillies" that lets kids snap their mates or family with the built-in camera and morph them into the game, while at the same time building on the child's maths skills.
The LeapsterGS will also include the LeapFrog's fun Pet Pad writing app and the choice of an additional app to download via the company's app store.
A quick play with the new gaming console and it's good fun. While it won't offer the range of "fun" games the Nintendo DS or 3DS does, the idea here is to offer a more educational focus and that it does.
If you think of the LeapsterGS for kids who aren't ready to start collecting Pokemon or trying to save Princess Peach then it will be perfect.
The new LeapFrog LeapsterGS will cost £64.99 when it launches in August.

To be able to communicate in a foreign language is a fundamental asset in any profession, from careers in education, translating and interpreting, to those in international studies, health, business or law. A minor in Spanish addresses the needs of students who seek the ability to communicate in more than one language in order to be competitive in their chosen profession. The study of Spanish language and culture is of special importance in the United States, the country with the second largest Spanish-speaking population in the world. The Spanish minor offers students the linguistic confidence needed for studying in another country and the benefits of being exposed to other cultures.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon finishing the Spanish minor, we expect students to have developed supporting skills in critical thinking, written expression, reading, listening and oral proficiency in Spanish, meaning that students will:
- Possess Spanish listening and speaking skills equivalent at least to the advanced level of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines: Understand the main ideas of most speech in a standard dialect and use oral Spanish to speak about a variety of everyday activities, school, and work situations, but also to support opinions, explain in detail and hypothesize.
- Possess Spanish reading skills equivalent at least to the advanced level of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines: Understand parts of texts that are conceptually abstract and linguistically complex; demonstrate awareness of the aesthetic properties of language and of its literary styles, which permits comprehension of a wider variety of texts, including literary texts.
- Possess Spanish writing skills equivalent at least to the advanced level of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines: the student will be able to write about a variety of topics with significant precision and detail, and to produce organized compositions and short research papers.
- Be able to identify the linguistic and pragmatic components of the Spanish language.
- Demonstrate in their oral presentations, compositions, research papers and other class assignments a reasonable knowledge of the ways of thinking, behavioral practices, and the cultural products of the Spanish-speaking world.
Program Assessment Results
Each year, our program assesses the classroom learning experiences of students to ensure that students are building the necessary skills and knowledge-base in this discipline. The assessments allow our program to engage in continued creative and visionary curriculum and instruction approaches that ensure students are exposed to rigorous undergraduate training. Every discipline has a unique assessment schema and set of student performance benchmarks, reflecting the priorities of the discipline.
From the 2012-2013 program assessment, we focused on the Spanish minor while the Spanish major was under formalization with the university. Here, we were able to understand how well the minors identify common grammatical errors, and major syntactic and morphological issues pertinent to the Spanish language. The student population sampled (N=41) included minors across class levels, 27 seniors, 12 juniors, and 2 sophomores. The students were tested with an quiz outside of coursework.
Additional information about the student population matters for understanding the results. 39 students were Spanish Heritage Speakers (H). 3 students were non Spanish Heritage Speakers (NH). While a certain difference in the results were observed based on student class standing and H vs. NH, it is also important to consider the courses that students completed for the minor. (With the Spanish minor coursework, students were previously not required to complete a regimented set of classes.)
The exam results indicate:
- The majority of seniors and juniors demonstrated proficiency.
- 100% of sophomores have a proficient level regarding their understanding of Spanish linguistics.
- The majority of heritage learners demonstrated proficiency.
- The majority of non-heritage demonstrated proficiency.
- 100% of all seniors and juniors demonstrated proficency in their understanding of the pragmatic use of language.
As expected, most students that took Spanish Linguistics (SPAN 110) performed much better in some of the exam questions that dealt with syntactic and morphological issues than those students that did not; the percentage of proficient students that took SPAN 110 is almost double than for the students that did not take the course. Similarly, even though all students demonstrated a proficient understanding of the pragmatic use of language, the percentage of students that received a score of excellent among the students that took SPAN 110 is more than the double than for student that did not take the course.
This same sampling of students completed survey questions, providing their feedback on learning common grammatical errors, and major syntactic and morphological issues pertinent to the Spanish language. We learned the following.
- Most students feel that their understanding of Spanish linguistics and their grammar accuracy when speaking and writing has improved since studying in the minor.
- Most students feel that they are able to understand the different uses of language. This result is very positive, especially in the case of the three NH students, who expressed that they are able to understand language functions in different contexts most of the time.
- While a considerable number of students feel that their understanding of Spanish linguistics will improve with more activities inside and outside class, there is an even greater number of students who consider that their improvement depends on their personal efforts (attention to instructor's feedback, and study more).
- A high number of students think that more linguistic courses should be added to the Spanish curriculum, which we will be able to accomplish with the Spanish Linguistics new hire in the near future.
Alumni Success
Student graduates from our program are currently engaging in graduate studies and careers. A few of these after-college endeavors are listed below. If you have an alumni update to share, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations so we can share your success!
Graduate School
Student graduates from the Spanish minor are studying at the University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis and Los Angeles; University of Southern California; and Pepperdine University.
From a message sent by a former student now studying in the Spanish Literature master's program at UC Davis: "Sí, gracias a Dios y a la preparación que usted me dio me ha ido bien en los seminarios y con los dos últimos cursos introductorios de español 1 y 2 que les he estado impartiendo a estudiantes de pregrado que quieren aprender a hablar y a escribir el idioma."
Student graduates from the Spanish minor are working in a variety of professional settings including legislative departments, school districts, state agencies, and university administration offices.

Last time around, I discussed white's traits that give it a propensity to do certain good and evil things, starting off with this introduction:
A Magic character's color alignment doesn't imply a moral judgment on them. Every color of Magic has more or less equal capacity for good and evil - the difference is in what values each of their outlooks emphasize, and what virtues and flaws they each have. Now, since just about every trait can be assigned to one or more colors (that's the point of Magic's color philosophies, after all), saying a color does evil in certain ways and good in others is a gross generalization.
With that in mind, I'll be continuing on with one of the colors that probably cares the least about "good and evil": Blue. It likely acquired its neutral reputation as an allied color of both white (which is "good" stereotypically) and black (which is "evil"). But as we'll see, blue can be either, both, and neither.
Blue's good qualities: Blue is smart. It is the color of curiosity and acquiring knowledge, and when those discoveries are used for the benefit of the world, then, well, blue is good. Blue is the color of cancer researchers and biologists working to preserve a diversity of species, of fearless explorers who chart unknown regions. Blue is the color least affected by emotion, and so it's easy for blue to have noble, altruistic, and utilitarian goals, unhampered by personal feelings and selfishness. Blue is the color of the intrepid journalist, willing to speak truth to power. Blue supports absolute freedom of information, and censorship is anathema to it in certain conceptions. This quote by Thomas Jefferson describes the mission statement of a good-aligned blue character:
"I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way."
Blue's evil qualities: Blue's lack of negative emotion can also be a lack of positive emotion - blue has a hard time feeling empathy. Blue's belief in knowledge as the highest goal can allow it to do amoral or sometimes immoral things. A scientist who cares nothing for the suffering of his subjects as long as it provides him with usable research is blue. Like the sea, blue can be overly mercurial, and have a hard time committing to a cause. It can be manipulative for manipulation's own sake. Blue likes to play politics and can create strife and spread misinformation just as well as true information if it suits its purposes. As the very blue and often villainous spymaster Varys says in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel, "A Clash of Kings":
"The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling."

Bay County High School students may be taking on a bigger course load next year.
The county is proposing to do away the 4-classes per semester block scheduling next year and transition to a 7-period class day.
The move would save $1.9 Million dollars annually. A scheduling committee met Tuesday and is sending their final recommendations to Superintendent Bill Husfelt. They say this new scheduling will eliminate 40 teaching positions to avoid forced layoffs by way of attrition, mostly through retirement and relocation.
"I think they're flexible and I think they're willing to work and do what they have to do to save jobs and save money and I think it's going to turn out good for everyone including the students" says Christy Carpenter, Bozeman Vice Principal.
Final recommendations will be sent to Superintendent BIll Husfelt and will be addressed by the school board in an upcoming meeting.

Billy Joel will receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington announced July 22, terming Joel "a storyteller of the highest order."
"The Entertainer" and "Piano Man" Joel, whose career spans more than half a century, said, "The great composer, George Gershwin, has been a personal inspiration to me throughout my career. And the Library's decision to include me among those songwriters who have been past recipients is a milestone for me."
Previous recipients are Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Sir Paul McCartney, songwriting duo Burt Bacharach and the late Hal David, and Carole King.
The lifetime achievement award honors Joel's goal of writing songs that "meant something during the time in which I lived... and transcended that time."
They include, "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me", "New York State of Mind", " Uptown Girl", "She's Always a Woman", "Only the Good Die Young", and "Big Shot". To hear some of his songs, click here.
Hear him in concert here at Washington Nationals Park on July 26.
Joel's numerous classics "have acted as personal and cultural touchstones for millions of people," Billington said in the announcement July 22. The songs' "intimacy...bridges the gap between the listener and the worlds he shares through music."
The singer-songwriter-performer will receive the coveted Gershwin Prize in November, with a series of events including a concert at the Library of Congress and a White House ceremony.
The Gershwin Prize honors a living musical artist's lifetime achievement in promoting the genre of song as a vehicle of cultural understanding; entertaining and informing audiences; and inspiring new generations, the Library said.
Multi-GRAMMY™-winner (and GRAMMY Legend Award) Joel is the sixth top-selling artist of all time and the third top-selling solo artist of all time, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. He received that association's America Diamond Award, for albums that have sold more than 10 million copies.
Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992, Joel received that organization's highest honor, the Johnny Mercer Award, in 2001. In 1999, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he was a 2013 Kennedy Center Honoree.
He has also won a Tony Award in 2003 for "Movin' Out", a Broadway musical based on Joel's music, choreographed and directed by Twyla Tharp.
His recent, frequently aired documentary, "A Matter of Trust--The Bridge to Russia", follows his 1987 tour in the former Soviet Union. He was the first American pop star to bring a full rock production there.
He notes in the documentary, "I wanted to have an answer when my daughter said, 'Dad, what did you do during the Cold War?'"
For all of these reasons, there's no doubt "You May Be Right" in awarding Joel the Gershwin Prize.
