College Hockey:Bonis' three-point night leads Ferris State over Lake Superior State
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Multi-point performances from three players lifted the No. 8 Ferris State Bulldogs to a 5-1 win over the 11th-ranked Lake Superior State Lakers on Friday night.
The Lakers opened the scoring 5:33 into the game and that was all the offense LSSU would generate.
Nick McParland jumped on a rebound that didn't quite make it into the corner and slid a shot past Taylor Nelson to put the Lakers up 1-0.
"We had a really good first period and we didn't maintain it," said Lake Superior State coach Jim Roque. "If you want to win on the road, you can't play 20 [minutes] and then take 20 [minutes] off. I don't care where you're at."
Nelson went on to post 32 saves in the win.
"We have an unbelievable comfort level with Nelly [Nelson] and CJ [Motte]," said Ferris State forward Kyle Bonis. "We've been really fortunate to have great goaltending all three years I've been here."
Ferris State had numerous chances in the first period including multiple 2-on-1 rushes, but could not find a way to get a puck past Lakers' goalie Kevin Kapalka.
That scenario changed in the second period when Brett Wysopal fired a puck past Kapalka, who was screened by Matthew Kirzinger. Unfortunately for Wysopal and the Bulldogs, officials ruled that Kirzinger was in the crease and disallowed the goal.
Despite the outcome, that play brought renewed energy to the Ferris State bench.
Cory Kane then evened the game at one just over a minute later by sliding the puck under Kapalka with a great second effort following a pass from Bonis.
Jordie Johnston then put the Bulldogs up for good with a short-handed tally. Johnston picked off a cross-ice pass and went coast-to-coast before burying a shot behind Kapalka.
"The short-handed goal was huge," said Ferris State head coach Bob Daniels. "If you have to pick one turning point in the game, that was it."
Ferris State ended their second period onslaught with a wraparound goal by Travis Ouellette. Ouellette tried to keep the puck on a 2-on-1 with Nate Milam by deking into the slot, but the move left him off-balance and his shot went wide. Ouellette picked up his own rebound behind the net and finished the play with a goal.
"We played a pretty sloppy first period," Wysopal said. "But I thought we showed a lot of character by coming back and scoring three goals in the second."
In the third period, Ferris State began to hold back and work to capitalize on Lake Superior's mistakes as the Lakers worked to overcome a two-goal deficit.
The strategy paid off with two goals.
The first came midway through the frame when Scott Czarnowczan buried a one-timer off a perfect pass from Bonis. Then Bonis ended the night's scoring three minutes later by burying a rebound from an Aaron Schmit wraparound attempt.
Prior to tonight's contest, the Lakers held a 5-0 record when scoring first.
The Lakers and Bulldogs will conclude their season series tomorrow night.

OSAKA, Japan (AP) - Koki Kameda retained his WBA bantamweight title by scoring a split decision over Mexican challenger Hugo Ruiz on Tuesday.
Kameda was making the fifth defense of the title he won in 2010 and improved to 29-1 with 17 knockouts. Ruiz dropped to 31-2 with 28 KOs.
While both fighters came out cautiously, Kameda dominated the final three rounds, and bloodied Ruiz's nose.

Player of the Day: John Mensah
Ghanaian international in the spotlight.John Mensah made 35 appearances in his two loan spells with the Black Cats between 2009 and 2011.
The Ghanaian international began his career in Italy with Bellinzona and Chievo whilst spending time on loan with Genoa, Modena and Cremonese.
In January 2006, Mensah left Italy to join Rennes in France where he made 59 league appearances before joining Lyon in 2008.
After a year with Lyon, John moved to Wearside on loan and, despite injuries preventing him from ever having a prolonged run in the first team, was a hit with fans for his quality defensive displays.
He scored his first, and only, competitive goal for the club in a 4-3 defeat at Manchester City in December 2009.
Mensah's first season with the club returned 17 appearances as the Black Cats finished 13th in the Barclays Premier League.
John joined up again ahead of the 2010-11 season and he added 18 appearances to his Sunderland tally as persistent injury problems prevented a regular run in the side.
Mensah spent another year at Lyon but couldn't break back into the side and he re-joined Rennes in January 2013.
The defender, also known as 'The Rock', has been capped on 79 occasions by Ghana winning both bronze and silver medals at the African Cup Nations in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

Minutemen Advance to National Quarterfinals
May 11, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - The No. 5-ranked University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse team outscored 10th-ranked Hofstra, 4-1, in the third quarter to propel the Minutemen to a 9-6 victory over the Pride in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. UMass improves to 13-2 overall heading into next weekend's NCAA Quarterfinals at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. The 13 wins ties a school record, set in 1981 and 1989. Hofstra's season ends at 11-6.
The two teams traded goals for the first quarter. Hofstra's John Keysor got the Pride on the board first with a netters just 54 seconds into the game. Neil Lundberg (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) tied the game at 1-1 at the 10:48 mark, but Ryan Vilar scored the first of his two first-quarter goals at the 9:32 mark for a 2-1 Pride advantage. Jeff Zywicki (Napean, Ontario) tied the game at 2-2 with his 40th goal of the season, off a pretty feed from freshman Sean Morris (Marshfield, Mass.) at the 8:43 mark. However, Vilar gave the Hofstra the lead back with a low grounder at the 4:32 mark. But Lundberg tied the game again at 3-3 with just 10 seconds left in the quarter with an assist from Chris Fiore (Freeport, N.Y.). Fiore was in trouble with the ball at the top of the zone, but dropped off a low bounce pass to Lundberg, who fired the ball into the back of the cage.
UMass then took its first lead of the game when Chris Doyle (Putnam Valley, N.Y.) sniped a 20-foot rocket past Hofstra goalie Matthew Southard at the 12:28 mark of the second quarter for a 4-3 UMass advantage. The lead was short-lived as Ryan Lucas found the back of the cage at the 9:40 mark with an EMO goal to knot the score at 4-4. The teams then turned to their defense, as both squads put on the clamps. Hofstra had the best chances to score in the quarter, but UMass sophomore goalie Bill Schell (Mahopac, N.Y.) made four saves in the quarter, including one from point-blank range in the waning seconds to keep the game tied.
The Minutemen then went to work in the third quarter. The Minutemen went on a 3-0 run over a span of 4:19 to break the game open. Senior All-America candidate Kevin Leveille (Delmar, N.Y.) gave UMass the lead for good with the first of three second-half goals at the 9:52 mark. Gene Tundo (Orchard Park, N.Y.) assisted on the goal. Zywicki scored his second goal at the 8:05 mark off a Morris shot that Southard originally saved, but couldn't corral. Zywicki scooped up the ball and sent a low shot into the cage from just outside the crease for a 6-4 advantage. The Minutemen stretched their lead to 7-4 when Kevin Glenz (Merrick, N.Y.) lifted a shot just under the crossbar at the 5:33 mark. Hofstra halted the run at 2:41 when Joe Kostolansky notched his 29th goal of the year with an assist to Keysor. The Hofstra goal was its first in 21:59 spanning the middle two quarters. Leveille then stopped any Hofstra momentum, notching his second goal of the quarter at the 1:06 mark, with an assist from Zywicki, to give the Minutemen an 8-5 lead after three periods.
Hofstra then crawled to within two again at 8-6 when Jim Femminella scored at the 12:47 mark off a give-and-go with Chris Unterstein, but Leveille secured his hat trick at the 9:30 mark for a 9-6 lead. The Minutemen tightened up their defense and ran out the clock for a 9-6 victory and a berth in next week's NCAA quarterfinals.
UMass dominated statistically, outshooting the Pride, 35-32. The Minutemen scooped up 43 ground balls to Hofstra's 24. Dane Collins (Ridley Park, Pa.) won 13-of-19 face-offs, and is now a combined 27-of-42 (64.3 percent) in the last two games. UMass was also 21-of-25 on its clearing attempts. Schell made nine saves in the cage for the Minutemen.
The Minutemen will now battle third-ranked Maryland, who defeated Ohio State in the first round, 8-5, in the NCAA quarterfinals next Saturday at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y, at a time to be determined. For ticket information, call the University of Massachusetts ticket office at 1-866-UMASS-TIX.

To salute the growing wine and craft beer industries in Nova Scotia, the elite Halifax Club is hosting its second Winemaker vs Brewmaster dinner this Friday in Halifax with Blomidon Estate winemaker, Simon Rafuse, taking on Propeller Brewing brewmaster, Bobby Zacharias, to provide appropriate pairings for a five course meal by their Chef Nelson Francis. Guests will get to vote on the best pairing for each course with either a wine cork or a beer cap.
Adam Bower, the Marketing Director of the Halifax Club said this was the second Winemaker vs Brewmaster Dinner and will be part of an ongoing series of dinners. The first was held in April with Ben Swetnam of Avondale Sky Winery taking on Daniel Girard of Garrison Brewing. Although there was a 2-2 tie, Avondale Sky got the final nod for the greater number of corks overall.
The wineries and breweries have not been able to provide any input into the menu planning and have had the last week to consider the best pairings for Friday's menu which includes duck confit, beef tenderloin, mussels, scallops, and pumpkin mousse. Both Rafuse and Zacharias will present their chosen selection for pairing to the guests at the start of each course giving an explanation of why each were chosen.
"The guests will have a chance to hear about the wine and ales from the people who have actually made them and hopefully develop a better awareness of the range of great products being made in Nova Scotia." explained Adam Bower.
There were forty guests at the first Winemaker vs Brewmaster Dinner and word has spread as already sixty guests have signed up for Friday's dinner with a few more tickets to go. Bower said they want to keep the numbers manageable so that the winemaker and brewmaster can develop a conversation with guests.
With fourteen craft breweries and wineries, currently in the province, the Halifax Club can keep the rivalry going for years to come.

This book is about my travels around Namibia with a group of fellow photographers who had booked the Light & Land Tour with Charlie Waite.
The book shows the different scenery that you encounter as you drive round the country.
I am a keen amateur photographer who lives on the Isle of Wight. My style of photography is reportage and love to tell a story with the photos. I love the challenge of going to places where I have not been before, and getting a photo book out of it, even if the weather decides to be 4 seasons in 1 day, as was the case in Wales recently.

Related MediaThe Intouchables (Trailer)
At Cinematique - 'The Intouchables' details a budding bromance
Foreign film details deep friendship
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 3:34 p.m.
I have rarely left a theater feeling as good as I did when the lights went up following the remarkable French film "The Intouchables."
What: "The Intouchables" at the Cinematique film series
When: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19-21
Where: Thalian Hall, 310 Chestnut St., downtown Wilmington
Tickets: $8
Details: 632-2285 or www.ThalianHall.org
It's the story of an improbable friendship between a quadriplegic and his caregiver that has taken the world box office by storm. This is a movie that has grossed more than $350 million at the box office outside of the U.S.
If that simple synopsis leaves you wondering how this picture, the second-most popular in the history of French cinema, has outgrossed American blockbusters, well, there is something unique about this film.
One reason for its success is how well the picture's many clashing elements play off one another for comedy. The quadriplegic, Philippe (played by Francois Cluzet of "Tell No One"), is wealthy and secure; his new live-in caregiver, Driss (played by Omar Sy), is a Senegalese orphan with a myriad of issues regarding his extended family, including one youth he's trying to keep out of a local gang's reach.
The two men are a generation apart in age. One is deeply cultured, and the other is street-wise. They would seemingly have little in common.
No small amount of laughs arise out of politically incorrect comments and actions on the part of Driss regarding Philippe's disability. This is particularly funny because it is borne out of both characters' beliefs: Philippe wants no one to take pity on his severe limitations, and Driss is offering none.
A deep bond forms between two men (A foreign-film bromance? You bet it is) that becomes a story of warm humanity amid all the chuckles. In this dependent relationship, each man comes to know the other's joys, pains, desires and secrets, creating a deep character connection.
The key is the culture clash, in the manner that Driss affects the lives of all the people in Philippe's home and wakes them up to new possibilities.
Not only does Driss become Philippe's arms and legs, performing the tasks that he can't, but also he ultimately becomes the one to say and do things that Philippe never would in certain situations, making both men see the world, and how they should lead their lives, differently.
There is an opening scene involving the two men in a Maserati, outwitting the police, that is not only brilliantly executed but also pulls you in and tells you how witty and poignant this film is likely to be and how much you're going to like these two men together.
What makes "The Intouchables" so different is the electrifying performance of Sy, a larger-than-life presence who can take over any scene with his 1,000-watt smile, his dancing to the music of Earth, Wind and Fire, or his ability to make Cluzet look like he is amused throughout, which carries over to the viewer.
There are breakout performances in films that you never forget, and Sy's is one of those.

Couple's visits cause concerns
DANVILLE — Vermont State Police say they have received reports of a suspicious couple visiting residences in the Danville and Walden areas, but the couple could be simply conducting a survey.
State police say they received a complaint Saturday about a black man, approximately 6 feet 3 inches tall, 200 pounds, 30 to 50 years old, and a white woman with dark brown hair who arrived at a residence, asked questions and left in a silver-colored vehicle with out-of-state plates.
Another complaint Sunday described the same couple leaving pamphlets about the New England Homecare Union and United Healthcare Workers East-Vermont.
State police say several out-of-state companies have been conducting surveys in Vermont recently and it's believed that is what the couple was doing. State police are still trying to identify the couple, however, and verify their business.
State police advise residents to ask for identification from any strangers who arrive at their homes.MORE IN This Just In

Health Sleuths Assess Homocysteine as Culprit
By JANE E. BRODY
Published: June 13, 2000
What's ''normal''? That's the question dozens of researchers and some physicians are now asking themselves about homocysteine, a substance in blood that may rival cholesterol as a major actor in the nation's leading killer, heart disease, and play an important role in other common health problems as well.
Recent evidence has implicated elevated blood levels of homocysteine, an unhappy byproduct of normal metabolism, in conditions ranging from miscarriages and birth defects to strokes, Alzheimer's disease and other disorders that afflict older people, including osteoporosis and presbyopia, the eye changes that force the middle-aged to acquire reading glasses.
And since hostility and stress raise blood levels of homocysteine, it may explain why these emotional states are linked to heart attacks.
Though strong hints of homocysteine's ability to damage arteries date back more than 30 years, until the 1990's its importance in cardiovascular disease was completely overshadowed by cholesterol. While concerns about elevated cholesterol levels fingered dietary fat as the culprit, high levels of homocysteine are associated with a diet rich in animal protein, the source of homocysteine's parent compound, the amino acid methionine.
Furthermore, as Dr. Meir Stampfer of the Harvard School of Public Health pointed out, ''there was no commercial interest in studying homocysteine,'' since the way to reduce it -- eating less meat and taking supplements of B vitamins -- is inexpensive and not patentable. For cholesterol, on the other hand, pharmaceutical companies seeking to sell cholesterol-lowering drugs paid for many studies.
In addition, homocysteine's potential role in common disorders may have been overlooked because the levels associated with an increased risk of health problems are still listed as normal by medical laboratories -- 8 to 20 micromoles per liter of blood plasma. However, recent studies have linked levels as low as 15 micromoles to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, peripheral vascular disease and venous thromboembolism, potentially life-threatening blood clots in the veins.
Among the 15,000 doctors participating in the Physicians' Health Study, those with a homocysteine level of 15 micromoles or higher had a heart attack rate three times as high as those with lower levels over a period of just five years, Dr. Stampfer and his Harvard colleagues found. Even a level of 12 micromoles can double coronary risk.
Dr. William Castelli, former director of the Framingham Heart Study, who now heads the Framingham Cardiovascular Institute in Massachusetts, considers levels higher than 9 micromoles to be elevated, placing people at increased risk of a heart attack or stroke. In the Framingham study, he said, about 40 percent of the people had homocysteine levels greater than 9.
''Homocysteine is an important new risk factor for cardiovascular disease,'' Dr. Castelli said in an interview. ''There are about 17 studies now under way to determine the benefits of lowering homocysteine levels. We're still missing crucial data. We don't yet know if lowering homocysteine will result in a lower rate of heart attacks or strokes.'' The studies are being financed by the National Institutes of Health.
But Dr. Castelli and others pointed out that since the way to bring down homocysteine -- eating less meat and taking supplements of the B vitamins folate, B6 and B12 that are required by the enzymes that process homocysteine -- is harmless and inexpensive, people should not have to wait five or more years for the research results before trying to lower their own homocysteine levels.
There are several ways in which homocysteine can damage blood vessels. It injures the cells that line arteries and stimulates the growth of smooth muscle cells; both effects can result in lesions that narrow the channels through which blood flows. Homocysteine can also disrupt normal blood clotting mechanisms, increasing the risk of clots that can bring on a heart attack or stroke.
Damage to the small blood vessels in the brain may explain the relationship that has been found between elevated homocysteine levels and the loss of cognitive function and Alzheimer's disease, say Dr. Jacob Selhub and colleagues at the United States Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. Starting in 1983, they noted, several studies have linked an inadequate supply of B vitamins to a decline in cognitive function in the elderly, and some studies have shown that taking supplements of B vitamins improves cognitive performance.
For example, this year in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. David A. Snowdon and colleagues at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington described a study of 30 nuns who had lived in the same convent and eaten from the same kitchen until their deaths at ages 78 to 101. Blood samples taken years earlier revealed that those who had low blood levels of folate were far more likely to have suffered atrophy of the cerebral cortex. The lower the folate levels, the more severe the atrophy of the nuns' brains.

In 1986, an Italian journalist became outraged when a McDonald's franchise was opening adjacent to the Spanish Steps in Piazza di Spanga. Carlo Petrini rallied friends and the community to take a stand against the global industrialization of food and homogenized eating. Three years later the Slow Food movement was born. The Slow Food movement promotes taking pleasure in the process of cooking, eating and sharing meals with others. The movement has over 150,000 members with national associations in Italy, US, Germany and Japan.
In the same way that the Slow Food Movement rallied against the globalization of food, the Slow Fashion Movement is a reaction against the globalized, mass production of clothing which results in fashion making it to the retail store in a matter of weeks while being sold at very low prices. As a result, consumers are encouraged to purchase more than they need. This over consumption impacts the environment in a negative way and exploits the factory workers. The impact on the environment results in depletion of fossil fuels, fewer fresh water reserves, and increasing use of pesticides and man made fibers. All of which, damages ecosystems and other natural resources and contributing to climate change.
Slow Fashion was first coined by Kate Fletcher from the Center for Sustainable Fashion when fashion was compared to the Slow food movement. There are similarities in that the Slow Fashion movement encourages "taking time to ensure quality production, to give value to the product, and contemplate the connection with the environment," representing all things "eco, ethical, and green."
Elizabeth Cline in her book, Overdressed The Shockingly High Price of Cheap Fashion, writes of her personal experience in realizing the impact of over consumption in her life and in the world. She wrote the book after a shopping spree made her realize she had too many clothes. Buying more cheap clothing has a worldwide ripple effect, she says. "It leave a huge carbon footprint and supports unfair wages and working conditions for overseas workers." In the United States the effect has been the loss of jobs to cheaper factory production overseas. Two decades ago, Cline says American factories were making half the clothing purchased in the US. Today, almost all fashion clothing is made in other countries from cheap materials producing poor quality garments. "It's about being selective", says Cline, "we need to change the way we view our clothes, and try to think of the whole life cycle of things. Slow Fashion means buying less, caring for what you own so that it doesn't end up in a landfill."
So, what can you do to slow down the frantic consumption of clothing? Here are some tips:
1. Education yourself about the life cycle of clothes. What is the source of the materials? Where was it made?
2. Buy fewer clothes. To prolong the life of clothes you have, take care of them.
3. Alter clothing you have if necessary, "upcycle" items to fit you needs.
4. Shop thrift, consignment and vintage stores.
5. When shopping ask yourself if you will really wear the item. Avoid buying single piece items, you'll never wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy
In October 2005, Springboard Nonprofit Credit Management became - one of the original four - credit counseling agencies approved by Executive Office of US Trustee to provide pre-filing counseling under new bankruptcy law.
As a result of our inaugural pre-bankruptcy counseling experience, our credit counselors have developed an internal library of answers to frequently asked pre-bankruptcy questions. We listed some of the most popular consumer bankruptcy questions below. We hope our answers help shed some light on common bankruptcy myths.
Click the question boxes below to reveal the answer:
Yes. They can take up to 25% of your take-home pay. Filing bankruptcy can stop the wage assessment and probably wipe out the creditor's claims entirely.
Yes. No creditor may contact you in any way after you file your bankruptcy petition. In most cases, your attorney will notify your creditors prior to filing the bankruptcy petition so the creditors stop calling you.
In most cases, you must include all your credit cards. There are some instances where you can keep a credit card, but you will want to discuss each situation with your attorney.
Yes or No. You can speak with a Bankruptcy Counselor and begin your Debtor Education course at Springboard before - or - after you meet with an attorney.
It hurts your credit, but if you are considering bankruptcy, chances are your credit is already affected. Bankruptcy allows you to start to rebuild your credit.
Most people have difficulty obtaining credit within one year of the bankruptcy. You can buy a car at a high interest rate with a substantial amount down. After the first year, things get easier. Many mortgage lenders will grant you a loan at their lowest interest rates four years after the bankruptcy. Bankruptcy stays on your credit reports 7 to 10 years.
The pre-petition bankruptcy counseling completion certificate is valid for 180 days and the pre-discharge debtor education is valid until your court ordered completion date for discharge.
In a Chapter 7, you attend the 341(a) Meeting of the Creditors approximately one month after you file your bankruptcy petition. You then receive the discharge about two months after that.
In a Chapter 13, you attend the 341(a) Meeting of the Creditors approximately 45 days after your bankruptcy petition is filed. The Confirmation hearing may be between 7 and 45 days after the 341(a) Meeting of the Creditors, depending on where your petition is filed. Once your plan is confirmed, you make your payments for three years and then receive the discharge.
Note: In either chapter, you will need to complete a pre-petition bankruptcy counseling session before you file bankruptcy and you must complete a debtor education course in order to receive a discharge on your bankruptcy.
We have counselors standing by to take your calls. No appointment is necessary. Simply call us at 1-888-425-3453 to speak directly to a bankruptcy counselor.
Under the new bankruptcy law, The Executive Office for United States Trustees requires that you participate in a counseling session that may take up to 90 minutes or longer. Sessions may be shorter or longer, depending on your situation, amount of information to be gathered, number of questions you ask, etc.
Under bankruptcy law, the Executive Office for United States Trustees requires that you participate in a 2-hour debtor education course.
Springboard charges $55.00 (which covers single filers and joint filers if counseled in the same session) for the pre-petition bankruptcy counseling by telephone or in person, and $45.00 by Internet and $55.00 (covers single filers and joint filers if completed at the same time) for the Pre-discharge Debtor Education course. Both include completion certificates.
This fee covers single filers and joint filers, if counseled in the same session. In some cases, the fees may be waived. Combination discounts are also available if you purchase the Pre-petition Bankruptcy Counseling from us and return to our agency (after filing bankruptcy) for your Pre-discharge Debtor Education you will receive a discount on the Debtor Education course.
No. Sometimes only one spouse files, but that is an exception. You may be able to file without your spouse if you have been married a short time or have all the debt in your name alone. Your spouse will be involved in a Chapter 13 whether his or her name is on the petition or not.
Yes. Springboard is approved to issue Pre-petition Bankruptcy Counseling and Pre-discharge Debtor Education certificates in compliance with the bankruptcy code. Approval to issue certificates in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the approval does not endorse or assure the quality of an agency's service.
(Although Springboard is approved to issue certificates in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the approval does not endorse or assure the quality of an Agency's services.)
For Chapter 7's, that depends on your experience in reading forms, interpreting the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and talking under pressure. For most people, the answer is yes. Attorneys do more than fill out the forms. They also attend the 341 (a) Meeting of the Creditors, negotiate with the creditors, advise clients about offers to accept or reject, and give legal advice in general. A paralegal can fill out the forms, but cannot represent the debtor or give legal advice about how to fill out the forms, or what the law says about your particular situation.
In the 341(a) Meeting of the Creditors, some creditors such as Sears or Best Buy may show up and ask about the property you bought from them. There is a trustee who reviews your bankruptcy petition and determines if you have any assets to give the unsecured creditors in Chapter 7's. Your attorney, in most cases, may help you on your behalf with those creditors at these meetings.
A 60/60 Plan is another type of debt management plan. A 60/60 Plan is a Less Than Full Balance (LTFB) DMP. Under bankruptcy law an approved nonprofit budget and credit counseling agency may propose to a creditor a payment plan on unsecured consumer debts of at least 60 percent of the debt over a period not longer than the original loan, or reasonable extension with a maximum repayment period of 60 months - hence a 60/60.
Submitting a LTFB DMP proposal to an unsecured creditor does not guarantee acceptance and the creditor may counter with an amount they would accept that is higher than the 60% proposal. Secured accounts like your house and car do not qualify for a 60/60 Plan. While some creditors may reduce interest rates in a DMP or 60/60 they usually do not eliminate the interest. Some creditors refer to the LTFB DMP as a Pre-Bankruptcy DMP. Springboard's 60/60 Plan (patent pending) will be available when the EOUST (Executive Office for United States Trustees) issues guidance on the administration of these plans.
One of the reasons people file bankruptcy is to get a "fresh start". A discharge is a Court order which states that you do not have to pay most of your debts. Some debts cannot be discharged. For example, you cannot discharge debts for:
- most taxes
- child support
- alimony
- student loans
- court fines, criminal restitution and personal injury caused by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
The discharge only applies to debts that arose before the date you filed. Also, if the judge finds that you received money or property by fraud, that debt may not be discharged. It is important to list all your property and debts in your bankruptcy schedules. If you do not list a debt, for example, it is possible the debt will not be discharged. The judge can also deny your discharge if you do something dishonest in connection with your bankruptcy case, such as destroy or hide property, falsify records, or lie, or if you disobey a Court order. You can only receive a chapter 7 discharge once every eight years.
No one can make you pay a debt that has been discharged, but you can voluntarily pay any debt you wish to pay. You do not have to sign a reaffirmation agreement or any other kind of document to do this. Some creditors hold a secured claim (for example, the bank that holds the mortgage on your house or the loan company that has a lien on your car). You do not have to pay a secured claim if the debt is discharged, but the creditor can still take the property.
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) consolidates only unsecured debts. A consumer would still be responsible for negotiating terms with their secured creditors -- such as a mortgage or auto lender. A DMP is not a loan. A standard DMP allows a consumer to consolidate all or most of their credit cards, medical bills and other unsecured debts into one monthly payment.
Each unsecured creditor is different and some offer voluntary "concessions" such as lowering interest rates, re-aging a delinquent account, or waiving late and/or over-limit fees. These concessions, if offered, vary significantly from creditor to creditor.
Even if a debt can be discharged, you may have special reasons why you want to promise to pay it. For example, you may want to work out a plan with the bank to keep your car. To promise to pay that debt, you must sign and file a reaffirmation agreement with the Court. Reaffirmation agreements are under special rules and are voluntary. They are not required by bankruptcy law or by any other law. Reaffirmation agreements:
- must be voluntary;
- must not place too heavy a burden on you or your family;
- must be in your best interest; and
- can be canceled anytime before the Court issues your discharge or within 60 days after the agreement is filed with the Court, whichever gives you the most time.
If you are an individual and you are not represented by an attorney, the Court must hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the reaffirmation agreement. The agreement will not be legally binding until the Court approves it. If you reaffirm a debt and then fail to pay it, you owe the debt as though there was no bankruptcy. The debt will not be discharged and the creditor can take action to recover any property on which it has a lien or mortgage. The creditor can also take legal action to recover a judgment against you.
Yes. Whether you file a chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy petition, you have to attend a § 341(a) Meeting of the Creditors in either chapter. These usually last less than one hour, but can last all day in a Chapter 13.

Whether you need to shank a skank at a designer sample sale or do an emergency eyebrow tweeze in a bar bathroom, the Victorinox/Susan G. Komen Classic Swiss Army Knife ($12) has got your back. In addition to lip gloss and a mini mascara, the swiss army knife is a crucial tool in the modern woman's arsenal/pocketbook. You're probably thinking "I don't need one of those." But the swiss army knife, like Spanks or nunchucks, can only truly be appreciated if you try it for yourself. One dollar from the sale of each knife goes to Susan G. Komen for a Cure, an organization researching what causes, how to treat, and how to end breast cancer forever.
Would love to buy these for me and my daughter but don't ship to Europe. Tried to find an international dealer but no luck!!

If you are seeking a family-oriented activity this weekend, consider bringing the brood to Woodlawn High School to see Faith in the Furnace, a Gospel play produced by Platinum Roots Entertainment. The play which kicked off tonight (4/20 at 8 p.m.) has Saturday (4/21) and Sunday (4/22) show times at 8 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.
Baltimore's own Tatum Bullock stars as the matriarch, Bessie Mae Nelson, in the play. I had the opportunity to interview Bullock who is not only a talented actress, but a devoted, licensed social worker, too.
Lynn Pinder: Who are you and what do you do?
Tatum Bullock: I am a licensed social worker. I work with children in a foster care program in Baltimore County. I have been in the field for seven years. I earned my Master's degree in July 2011 and obtained my license in December 2012. I love to act ... I desire to do acting as a profession full-time because I love the Arts. I have been performing in the Arts since I was a little girl. I used to compete in oratory competitions and dramatic readings. I put it aside, but when I got older and joined Restoring Life International Church (RLIC), I joined the drama ministry. It reminded me of how much I really loved acting.
LP: What is your latest theatrical performance?
TB: Faith in the Furnace is a Gospel play that starts tonight at Woodlawn High School.
LP: What is the name of the production company that is producing the play?
TB: Platinum Roots Entertainment is a production company out of Baltimore. The director's name is Ja'Kay Pierce. Back in 2009, we performed the same play and we had a good response. It was sold out all three nights. The production company decided to bring it out for an encore presentation. Ja'Kay is an up and coming director. This is her first real major production.
LP: What is the target audience for the play?
TB: Faith in the Furnace is a family-oriented, Gospel stage play.
LP: What message do you think people will get from viewing the play?
TB: The play shares a message of Christ. It reminds us to trust Christ in any situation, and He will bring you out. The play is not so much for little kids, but is for the family. It talks about respecting your parents; it touches on issues of abuse and offers a different perspective for some people who thought about suicide.
LP: Could you tell me more about your role in the play?
TB: The play is about a mother and her three sons. I play the part of the mother, Bessie Mae Nelson. The play is based on the biblical reference of the three boys in the furnace. It offers a look into the real life issues that people face as they go through in the furnace, and it shows how they come out. In the play, you get the opportunity to see how Bessie and her family work through their furnace situation.
LP: What was the most challenging aspect of your preparation for the play?
TB: My character Bessie is about 65 years old. She is an old lady pushing 70. To a degree. I have often been told that I have an old spirit. The most difficult part of this role is that I have to wear a 40-pound vest to slow me down. I have to put on a leotard and stuff it to make me larger before even putting on the weighted vest. I always leave sweaty feeling like I lost a few pounds.
LP: What do you hope people will get out of seeing the play?
TB: I really hope that people come out to see this production. I hope they will know that Christ is real, and He heals and He delivers. I want people who view the paly to know that there is hope for them and that they can overcome any situation. I want people to see themselves in me and see how far they have come and where they can come. I hope the play touches home for some people and cause them to treasure their family. With the world being the way it is, one day you see people the next you don't. I want people who come out to see the play to have fun with friends and family members and be entertained because this play is a form of entertainment, too.
LP: What has been your most joyous experience in preparation for the play?
TB: The camaraderie that has developed between the cast. The friendships that have come out of it ... I just can't describe it. Because I see everybody so many times a week, we are family. We all leave the production with more people in our circle. Even with the director and her family ... they have embraced us and we have become one large extended family. I'm happy to be doing this. It gets me closer to my dream of getting on the big screen ... no role is ever too small.
LP: What advice would you give anyone interested in pursuing acting?
TB: I encourage people to go to community theatres and to get some professional training. Getting professional training was one of the best things I ever did. I knew I had a passion and gift and knack to act, but it was important to perfect my gift. Training can prepare you for casting calls and auditions; it can also help you with technique. It is also important to talk to people who know the business. I've been fortunate enough to attend a lot of good training classes with excellent teachers. Sometimes we feel like I'm good at this God gave me a gift, but God wants us to perfect our gift. Get good training to help fortify the gift and go do it. Networking at different events, going online and into the community is good, too.
To purchase tickets or to obtain more information regarding Faith in the Furnace, please call Betty Mill at 410-456-0838, Ja'Kay Pierce at 410-968-442, or Karen Outlaw at 443-831-5475.

The only thing that could possibly make this Cupcake Pan and Measuring Spoons Necklace ($20) by Penelope's Porch any cuter would be the addition of the world's tiniest cupcakes. Though if we could really bake cupcakes the size of a pencil eraser, we'd have to eat fifty of them to feel satisfied. Even then, we'd want to keep stuffing ourselves. Okay, scratch that. The necklace is darling without tiny cupcakes. We'll wear it while mixing up a batch of regular-sized cupcakes and then we'll try not to stuff ourselves with them all. We can spread a dozen out over two or three days. We hope!

I love Flavorpill. They are the people who make any city a better place to live with events like Absolut Lunchbreak, outdoor yoga, and gallery openings.
Floral installations by Flour decorated the epitome of American style. The look is sport ready, fashion aware but independent of trends, and approachable. From its discount store origins in the 70s, to their rebranding as an iconic (and pricey) 'it' label in the 90s, the Gap has revealed itself as timeless and reliable. The cut of the clothing has evolved from boxy tshirts to sweatshirts that drape gracefully instead of making you look schlubby.
The spring merchandise was heavy on pastels. Soft washes of pink, orange, and blue that could be mixed together in one outfit. I really liked the big, gauzy scarves that have become fashion necessities. These sparkly champagne greige lace-up oxfords are lovely. A casual basic turned on its ear, adorable with skirts or rolled up jeans.
Stripes were another big deal. From sweatshirts to socks to shoes- the stripe was all over the store. This sweatshirt has slimming black contrasting panels, which is rather clever. The adorable striped socks feature an incongruous bird print, so that you're telling a little joke every time you wear them. The striped oxfords would look great with a more formal outfit, like a suit. The playfulness in the designs is a nod towards brighter times. These are pieces that work to invite happiness to your wardrobe and life. Nice, right?
Also featured is a range of leather goods from wallets to tote bags. These pastel totes are leather treated to look like suede, and they're amazingly soft to the touch. Little wallets (hey, check out the striped t-shirts) in the same pastels are a must-have. A sweet little spring change that won't break your budget. I love these neon bright clutches. The color is super saturated and will punch up the pastel palette like punctuation.
While a flowery DJ May Kwok showered us with tunes, Flavorpill guests made terrariums, and enjoyed Prosecco cocktails involving fresh raspberries and mint and a scoop of raspberry sorbet. Those cocktails were delicious. And, easy to try at home!
While the event may be over, the spring 2014 collection is available at the Gap now. Head over to the store at 122 5th Avenue, where the event was held, for excellent customer service (and a healthy sale section). And make sure to subscribe to Flavorpill!

We love a good Italian soda, and our favorite flavors are some of the more acidic fruits: peach, raspberry, and lime. And our favorite lime syrup is made by Entner-Stuart. ($19) The brand began in New York almost ninety years ago, but it's Oregon-based now and it was on a trip to Oregon that Outblush and this sharp, sweet, fragrant and delicious syrup met and fell in love. Note that if you want that emerald green color for, say, snow cones, you'll have to put in the food coloring yourself.

The owner of Nifty's Tattoo studio let a novice give him a tattoo to raise money for Precious Kids Children's Trust on Monday, August 18.
Paul Hughes was asked by the Trust to raise money for a 10-year-old boy.
Russel Duffield, of Dagenham, Essex, was born with cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair because he cannot walk.
His friends and family are trying to raise money so he can realise his dream of being able to walk like his sisters.
The owner of the High Street South studio let a novice, Luke Beard, give him a 'For Russel' tattoo on the back of his knee, because he sponsored £100 to do it.
He said: "It was really painful, it didn't take long, about 15 minutes, but it really hurt.
"It was worth it though because we raised £400 in the end and we had a few people come and watch, I am glad not too many came though.
"I would love to do it again because it was for a really good cause, we like to help charities."
Russel's operation is set up over several sessions and once complete he will undertake 18 months of physio therapy to help strengthen his muscles.

- Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Yield: 6 servings.
Reviews for Chip-Crusted Chicken
"Great way to use up chips that was just crumbs in bag. Family enjoyed it & was quick for weeknight."
"I came across this recipe a few years ago in the magazine and decided to give it a go. I surprised my family with this on there plates at dinner time and got strange looks and complaints before they even touched it, as always when I try new recipes 9 out of 10 times I have to force the food down my family's throat , this time that one bite hooked them. Now if I don't make this once a week they protest."
"Tried this recipe tonight . I followed recipe pretty closely, except I added salt and pepper to dijionaise. Flavor was very good. But crushed chips wee not very crispy and didn't fell off chicken easily. May try this again, but will make a few changes."
"I used BBQ sauce to coat the chicken before dipping in BBQ chips. It was delicious and tasted like BBQ as others have said the flavor was missing."
"I've also tried this recipe with honey mustard potato chips..."

Holy Cross senior Jordan Enos
May 7, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - After winning its first Patriot League Baseball regular-season title and claiming the No. 1 seed in the upcoming League Tournament, Holy Cross cleaned up in the sport's awards voting Tuesday when three Crusaders claimed individual honors and seven were named to the All-Patriot League Team.
Holy Cross senior first baseman Jordan Enos was named the Patriot League Player of the Year, senior reliever John Colella claimed the Pitcher of the Year honor and Greg DiCenzo was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year. Enos also added the Patriot League Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year award on Tuesday.
The remaining major award, the Patriot League Rookie of the Year honor, went to Bucknell freshman starting pitcher Andrew Andreychik.
The Crusaders placed a League-high seven players on the All-Patriot League squad, and also led the way with five on the first team. Navy and Army each placed five players on the squad, with three on the first team for the Mids and a pair for the Black Knights. Lehigh had four All-Patriot League selections, while Bucknell notched three and Lafayette had a pair.
The major awards and All-Patriot League honors were voted on by Patriot League head coaches, who could not select their own student-athletes or themselves.
Enos was the top hitter on the best offense in the Patriot League, finishing tied for first in the League in doubles (18) and in the top five in batting average (.339), slugging percentage (.482), hits (57), RBIs (32) and total bases (81). He helped Holy Cross lead the Patriot League with a .293 batting average and 297 runs for the season. Enos batted .333 during Patriot League games with a home run, 15 RBIs and 13 runs scored as the Crusaders hit .312 on their way to a 15-5 record. In addition to his Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards, Enos was named a first-team All-Patriot League selection and Academic All-Patriot League selection on Tuesday. He is the fourth Crusader to be named Patriot League Player of the Year, and first since Matt Perry in 2009.
Colella was dominant out of the bullpen in Patriot League play for the Crusaders, going 2-0 with a League-best 0.86 ERA and six saves in 10 appearances. He allowed only two earned runs in 21.0 innings pitched during League play, giving up just 14 hits and nine walks in that span with 24 strikeouts. He held League opponents to a .192 batting average, and did not give up a home run or triple while allowing just one double in League action. He played a key role in the Crusaders putting up a 7-1 record in Patriot League games decided by one or two runs. For the season, Colella went 2-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 21 appearances, including two starts. He allowed five extra-base hits all year, and just one home run. Colella stands second in Patriot League history with 26 career saves and 77 relief appearances, both just one away from the League records. Colella becomes the first reliever to win the Patriot League Pitcher of the Year award, and the second Crusader after Matt Shapiro claimed the honor in 2008.
DiCenzo has led the Crusaders to a run of success since taking over as the coach in 2008. He directed his team to the Patriot League Tournament for the fifth time in his six seasons this year, and the Crusaders have advanced to the Patriot League Championship series in two of the last three seasons. Holy Cross put up its best performance this year, winning the regular-season title and finishing with the school's best Patriot League record at 15-5. Holy Cross had a balanced attack in League action with a .312 batting average and 4.10 earned run average, and finished 7-1 in games decided by two runs or less. The Crusaders did not lose any of their five Patriot League series as they swept Lehigh, won three of four from Army, Bucknell and Lafayette and split their four-game set with Navy. It is the fourth Patriot League Coach of the Year award for a Holy Cross manager, and second for DiCenzo who claimed the honor in his first season in 2008.
Andreychik came up big for the Bison in Patriot League play to help lead the team to the Patriot League Tournament. He went 3-2 with a 4.22 ERA in his five League starts, which included a nine-inning complete game. Andreychik pitched 32.0 innings in League play, allowing 15 earned runs on 32 hits and eight walks with 18 strikeouts. Andreychik went 4-3 with a 3.88 ERA in 11 appearances, including seven starts, for the season. He is Bucknell's third Rookie of the Year, and first since Ben Yoder in 2007. Andreychik is also the first pitcher to win the award since Army's Cole White in 2005.
The first-team All-Patriot League starting pitchers could face off this weekend, as Army senior Chris Rowley and Navy sophomore Stephen Moore each had stellar years to lead their teams to the postseason. Rowley led the Patriot League in overall ERA (2.60) and strikeouts (63) while tying for the top mark in wins (7) for the year, and went 4-1 with a 3.18 ERA in League starts. Moore finished 4-2 with a 2.91 ERA and 45 strikeouts for the season, and had the top ERA among starting pitchers in League games by going 3-0 with a 2.01 ERA and 24 strikeouts in five League starts.
Enos headlines the first-team All-Patriot League infield which also includes Navy senior catcher Dave Milanes, Lafayette senior second baseman Kevin Casey, Army sophomore shortstop Alex Jensen and Holy Cross junior third baseman Mike Ahmed. Milanes batted .303 with a home run, 30 RBIs and 32 runs scored for the year, Casey was at .317 with two home runs, 16 RBIs and 35 runs scored, Jensen hit .308 with three home runs, 37 RBIs and 36 runs scored and Ahmed was .287 with four home runs, 26 RBIs and 30 runs scored.
Holy Cross took two of three first-team positions in the outfield as senior Patrick Puentes and sophomore Evan Ocello made the squad along with Navy senior Greg Dupell. Puentes batted .298, led the Patriot League with seven home runs and had 29 RBIs and 27 runs scored. Ocello was second in the Patriot League with a .358 batting average and totaled three home runs, 25 RBIs and a League-high 44 runs scored. Dupell batted .316 with three home runs, a League-best 38 RBIs and 34 runs scored as he made the All-Patriot League Team for the third year in a row at a third different position (1B, 3B). Bucknell junior Corey Furman made it as the designated hitter while batting .304 with a home run, 21 RBIs and 31 runs scored.
The second-team All-Patriot League pitching staff includes a pair of sophomore starters in Holy Cross' Donny Murray (6-3, 4.77 ERA) and Army's Alex Robinett (7-3, 2.72 ERA) as well as Navy senior reliever Joel Rinehart (3-1, 2.83 ERA). The infield includes Lehigh junior catcher Joe Abeln (.311 avg., 28 RBIs), Navy junior first baseman Kash Manzelli (.339 avg, 30 RBIs), Bucknell senior second baseman Travis Clark (.286 avg., 28 runs), Lehigh sophomore shortstop John Elson (.284 avg., 29 RBIs) and Bucknell senior third baseman Carter Bumgardner (.285 avg., 30 RBIs). Because of ties in the voting, the five-player second-team outfield includes Holy Cross junior Brandon Cipolla (.324 avg., 35 runs), Army freshman Jacob Page (.312 avg., 31 RBIs), Lafayette senior Andrew Ruck (.318 avg., 18 RBIs) and Lehigh senior Casey Turner (.337 avg., 40 runs) and sophomore Justin Pacchioli (.366 avg., 31 runs). Army sophomore Mark McCants (.296 avg., 19 RBIs) is the sqaud's designated hitter.
Dupell becomes the first player since 2008 to earn All-Patriot League honors in at least three consecutive seasons and at least three different positions. The last players to pull off the feat were Army's Cole White and Bucknell's Jason Buursma, who both played from 2005-08. Ten other players earned All-Patriot League status for the second time.
The 2013 Patriot League Baseball Tournament begins with the semifinal round this weekend. In best-of-three series, No. 4 Bucknell visits No. 1 Holy Cross and No. 3 Army is at No. 2 Navy. Each series features a doubleheader on Saturday and decisive third game, if necessary, on Sunday and can be seen via Patriot League All-Access. The winners will move on to the Patriot League Baseball Championship series at the site of the highest remaining seed.

Rocio says, "Hey Outblush! I'm having trouble with this myself, so I thought I'd see what you guys can come up with: My bf invited me to a Michigan camping trip with him and his fam in August, but the closest I've ever come to camping is staying in a Holiday Inn Express. Knowing I can't bring along my sundress/wedges summer staples, I was just going to settle on packing my workout/yoga wear, but do you have any other camping-friendly clothing ideas? Thanks so much for your help!"
Janetor here: Rocio, your workout gear should work fairly well, so long as you've got long pants and long-sleeved tee shirts - if you're tromping around the forest, long pants will help protect you from bugs (i.e ticks) and foliage. Lightweight, lighter colored layers will suit best, as will a pair of hiking sneakers and a light jacket for nighttime.
1 - REI Women's Ultra Light Jacket ($119, in 6 colors)
2 - Totem Graphic Crewneck T-Shirt ($15 on sale)
3 - Royal Robbins Kick Back Crossover T-Shirt ($26, in 5 colors)
4 - Eddie Bauer Mercer Fit Cargo Pants ($50 on sale, in 3 colors)
5 - The North Face Paramount Peak Convertible Pants ($45-65, in 3 colors)
6 - Vasque Women's Opportunist Light Hiker ($80)

Point well taken, Arkie. Maybe he'll enroll at the earliest opportunity in a ESL class. We can hope, anyway, if only for his sake.
And where did the Crest go?
