The second day of the Team Event took place today, determining the final five teams who qualify for the free skate/free dance portion - the medal round, if you will. And what happened today for Team USA was exactly as expected, completely going against all the doomsday theorists who surfaced after Jeremy Abbott's seventh-place short program finish. Let's have a look at day two and what it means for the final round tomorrow.
Related: Opining on Day 1
Team USA was never "out of the medals"
It was always in the numbers. Though many expected Abbott to be in the 4-5 position in the short program, the U.S. has such an advantage over Team Japan, the only other team to really be in medal contention, that his seventh-place finish just made it close. A great performance from Abbott would have actually put the U.S. in silver medal contention. The disaster that he had basically took them out of contention for the silver, but keep them as favorites for the bronze.
Play-by-play/videos: Team ladies' short
Why? A few reasons:
- Meryl Davis/Charlie White were guaranteed either first or second - not guaranteed in the judging-fix sense, but guaranteed in the sense that it's ice dance and they are just that much better than everyone else except for Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir.
- As much as people have ragged on Ashley Wagner since Nationals, it would've taken a performance poorer than anything she's done in the past few years to put her anywhere below fifth among that group of ladies. And she, of course, got fourth.
- Japan's Cathy Reed/Chris Reed just don't match up that well with the phenomenal dance teams who were in the team event. They skated well in the short dance, and eighth was really as high as they could've hoped for.
Play-by-play/videos: Team short dance
Now the Team USA has a four-point lead over Team Japan. With tomorrow's free dance and men's and ladies' free skates, here's how it's shaping up:
- The U.S. will gain at least another three points on Japan in dance (with Davis/White at least second and the Reeds fifth), which will put them seven points ahead. It wouldn't be a surprise if they are eight points ahead, which would put enough of a cushion for the U.S. to pretty much clinch it.
- The U.S. will finish no lower than fourth in the men's event, because Team Italy has to put in Paul Bonifacio Parkinson, their lone men's competitor, who is a few levels below the other four guys in the field. So even if Team Japan grabs first in the men's free skate, they will gain at most three points on the U.S.
- That means that the Team USA will need to be at least fourth in the ladies' free skate to clinch it. That said, it's a pretty tough field there.
So what does that mean? The worst-case scenario for the U.S. would have them tied with Japan, which would require Team Japan to win both the men and the ladies free skate portions. There's a lot that Team Japan will need to do to get on the podium.
Asada's triple axel
One thing that came out of today's competition was the condition of Mao Asada's triple axel. Obviously, we only saw one - the one in her team short program - but it did not look great. If you're an Asada fan, the bright side is that she didn't single it. But the fact of the matter is that the jump was downgraded. In order for her to take advantage of the point differential of the triple axel, the last thing she wants is a complete downgrade.
The point difference is huge - a rotated triple axel has a base value of 8.50, an underrotated triple axel has a base value of 6.00, but a downgraded triple axel has a base value of 3.30. It'll be interesting to see if Team Japan will put Asada in for the free skate. Either way, though, Asada can't win gold in the ladies' event without the triple axel, so her decision to keep it in today was the way to go.
Head-scratching PCS
One other thing that came out today's competition was some program component scores that left me scratching my head.
Julia Lipnitskaia was fantastic, but having her PCS almost as high as that of Mao Asada was a bit over the top. And the fact that Wagner and Kaetlyn Osmond were a good three to five points behind Lipnitskaia in PCS does not make that much sense. But credit due - Lipnitskaia deserved to be first over Carolina Kostner on the relative strength of her technical content.
But perhaps more egregious was Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitri Soloviev's third place in the short dance. Compared to Nathalie Pechalat/Fabian Bourzat and even Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte, they are just not as strong on the components side, yet they beat both teams in PCS.
Another day in ice dance.

If anal sex is your thing, than BTH VI will have you in sphincter heaven. If it's story, look elsewhere. The action in this 99.99 percent sexer is fortunately superior. Due to crystal clear videography, imaginative camera angles and a very attractive cast, the lack of any connection between the episodes is forgotten and guys will concentrate on how lovely the ladies look. In fact, they never looked better and rarely have performed better. Champagne is one hot lady, and Nina DePonca (who can do comedy when allowed) is enthusiastic to the nth degree with Ron Jeremy, who has lost some weight and looks good. A recommended entry for those who want all-sex, all-anal, and to hell with the plot. Nice boxcover.

text: Safe Driving-L.A #3 Posted by Bria Wimberly in AMGOV-001 on Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 12:40 pm The issue of driving and efficient cars has circulated in the news this year in the United States. After the problems Toyota and customers has faced, transportation is looked at more frequently in terms of being safe. Secretary Ray LaHood is in charge of the Department of Transportation. At the "United States Department of Transportation" website, he discuss the problems we face when behind the wheel and under the hood. I would like to lobby about safe cars in general as well as improving the drivers. There should be more regulations and check ups for cars before setting out into the market. The outcome of more regulations and checkups will help drivers and pedestrians. NHTSA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is also working on perfecting laws and regulations of vehicles like cars, trucks, even bicycling. Other allies that can help influence safe driving are insurances that give praise for safe driving and discounts like Allstate.The crowd I'm trying to influence can vary in all ages. One website called "Faces of Distracted Drivers" shows the emotions of friends and family who lost their loved ones from car accidents. Many accidents can be from a distracted driver, reckless driving, and even damaged cars. Distraction.gov is also an organization that gives ideas on how to improve driving and the safety of the people inside. With laws and regulations, having more scheduled appointment to check up on car corporations would be nice.The Department of Transportation needs a budget to continue working, their time frame of work being accomplish depending on the budget of how much they receive from the government. Here is a picture of how much they will spend in 2011.In the future, Sec. LaHood considers banning cell phones while driving on a highway or populated areas. This can be a step further for the protection of driving.

Delphian Scholarships at the University of HoustonThe Houston Assembly of Delphian Chapters awards two types of Delphian scholarships each spring. The scholarships are for $2,000/semester to qualified students for fall and spring semesters. The Delphian Foundation Scholarship is administered by the Houston Assembly of Delphian Chapters Scholarship Foundation(HADCSFF). The second is the Delphian Endowment Scholarship that is administered by the University of Houston. We encourage students to apply for both scholarships if they have the qualifications. The differences between the scholarships are as follows:
If selected as a Delphian Scholar, the scholarship is limited to Fall and Spring Semesters only up to eight semesters or graduation, whichever comes first. A Delphian Scholar in good standing may request a Summer Semester award if that Summer Semester class qualifies the student for early graduation or there is a course required for graduation and that course is offered only during the Summer Semester Session. The regulation requiring a minimum semester load of 12 hours may be suspended for the approved Summer Semester and for semesters when a scholar is student teaching or in an intern program. (If a scholar does not meet the requirements for a semester, the scholar will not be funded the following semester. The funds for the semester not funded are therefore forfeited.)
As part of the Delphian mentoring program, the scholar is asked to attend and help with the Delphian Gala each year, attend the Scholars Tea when held and attend the May luncheon. The Scholars shall be guests of the Delphian organization at these events.

Everybody loves to sculpt the Marilith, AKA the Type V demon, and sculptor Julie Guthrie is no exception. The demon is noteworthy for being an attractive (usually bare-chested) female with six arms and the lower torso of a serpent. The Marilith's unique appearance is likely heavily influenced by Ray Harryhausen's "Sinbad" creatures, as postulated by Christian Lindke at Topless Robot:
Given that the AD&D Monster Manual features this fusion of Harryhausen's "Avatar of Kali" from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and the serpent woman from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, is it really all that surprising that Pat Pulling or Jack Chick thought that D&D was destroying the souls of children?...I have never found a specific reference to Marilith, or Type V Demon as we "old school" gamers call her, in any mythology that I have read. It seems pretty clear that the demon is based on Hindu mythological references. Given the lack of references to the Ramayana or the Mahabharata in Appendix N, my guess is that like most Americans the primary image of a multi-armed swordswoman that inspired Gygax and Arneson were the two Harryhausen figures. If they weren't, they most certainly should have been. The fight between the "Avatar of Kali" and Sinbad's crew in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is pretty spectacular.
For the enterprising sculptor there's six arms to play with, which means the artist has a multitude of weapon combinations. Vandorendra wields a wavy-bladed dagger, two scimitars, a longsword, a straight blade, and a pata.
But by far the best part of this miniature is that it's all one piece. This is why Reapers' Bone line is the best; comparable painted miniatures go for four times the price. You can purchase this miniature at Amazon.

Crisis communication is the life blood of crisis management: when communication is ineffective so is the crisis management effort. This book emphasizes the role of communication throughout the crisis management process. W. Timothy Coombs uses a three-staged approach to crisis management-pre-crisis, crisis, and post-crisis. He reviews the latest research, explains how crisis communication can prevent or reduce the threats of a crisis, and provides guidelines for how best to act and react in an emergency situation. New to the Third Edition: Provides a new Chapter 2 on the Internet and social media, showing how it has become both a tool for recognizing warning signs as well as a key channel for communicating with stakeholders during a crisis. Updates discussion throughout to reflect the importance of the online world: The book explores the concept of paracrisis; covers online preparations organizations should make; considers the effects of social media on the crisis response; and explores the emergence of online memorials. Integrates crisis management with three other proactive management functions - issues management, risk management, and reputation management-demonstrating that the best way to manage a crisis is to prevent one. Offers a new Epilogue summarizing key lessons for managers from the vast crisis communication research literature. Key Features: 'What would you do?' cases are included throughout. With information from a real crisis event, a series of questions allow students to apply concepts in the chapter to the case. · Discussion Questions are provided at the end of each chapter, helping readers extend their understanding of the material.

The graphic above shows Cheney School District revenues and expenditures as compared to enrollment from 2010–2014.
The Cheney School District's board of directors unanimously passed the district's $45.7 million 2014-2015 general fund budget at their regular meeting June 25. The amount is just over 8.4 percent more than the district's projected expenses for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, with a projected revenue increase of 7.25 percent over last year's numbers.
Most of the rise in expenses stem from increased basic education staffing costs associated with enrollment growth, mainly salary and benefits that account for 46 percent and 22 percent. The district is projecting a full time equivalent student enroll...

text: If life really does imitate art, chances are your first few days back at school have included some sort of an impromptu performance by a peripheral social group desperate to start the year anew by proving itself within the institution's restricting social hierarchy. Or maybe an ice cream social? Glee is back for season three tonight, with its characters again attempting to win over their peers with an embarrassing public performance, this time tackling "We Got The Beat" by The Go-Gos on the McKinley campus. Even a year too late, and with silly rapping, we still think New Directions had a better chance with "Empire State of Mind"—every suburban high school boy considers himself the next Jay-Z. There's a lot of Rachel and Santana dancing on tables, as well as significant sexytime and audible vocals from Brittany, which leaves Artie and the rest of the guys stuck in cafeteria quicksand. Thank goodness for the quick reflexes of Mike Chang! The song is upbeat and fun, but we'd rather see something more recent in the season opener. How else will your classmates know what you did this summer if you can't sing all the words to "Party Rock Anthem"? Plus can that '80s magic happen more than once? Mercedes seems to have gotten over whatever that quasi-cliffhanger with Sam was, while Finn gets a head start of his potential role as fifth year senior meets New Directions' house drummer, who'll be able to pop in every now and then next season just to give the group a steady beat. But serious question: Were they always the McKinley Titans?

Some fairly well-shot humping transpires on this tape. Heaven Lee gives her stud a hardcore workout, including some squat thrusts on his willing dick. Cortknee impresses with her deep throat skills, then takes her guy for a ride on the chocolate speedway. Barbie angel goes to town on a pool table, then bends over and takes it in the rear with some genuine enthusiasm. It's solid stuff, but there are no surprises here at all. There's nothing you haven't seen before, and won't see again, but if you're looking for sturdy, workman-like fuck scenes, these'll do quite well, thank you very much.

best thing ever!

this is simply amazing. mix some with cocoa powder in some greek yogurt/cottage cheese, add stevia and it taste like a peanut butter cup cheesecake.. but extremely healthy. i am in love. ;)
Great alternative to peanut butter
Publié par chrysalis le Jul 14, 2013
This is a fantastic alternative if you love your peanut butter but don't want the extra fat and calories. I love adding this to things like yoghurt so it tastes extra yummy! Great taste and great protein content, but is also quite high in price. For something similar without the added sugar and salt, you can try the less expensive Protein Plus Peanut Flour which is equally as good.
PB2Good to Be True!!
Publié par Reviewer1006417 le Apr 13, 2012
Saw this mentioned in Nutrition Action Newsletter and knew I had to try. Have had this for two weeks and will order more; it's easy to mix (don't be put off by the powder!) and SO delicious on sandwiches, apple slices or straight off the mixing spoon (my preferred method!). A fraction of the calories and fat of real PB, this is a dream come true for dieters and healthy eaters. Love, love, love, even though it is a bit expensive...it's worth it!
great flavor!!

This is the best product I've bought in a long time! I sometimes use it instead of flour and often instead of regular pb! But I would have liked it with no sugar and a bit more salt!

Beautiful, but you will have to mix it instant before eating it. U can not mix it and put it in the frige, it gets weird. So make it instant before eating it.
Peanut Butter Binge! WITHOUT THE CALORIES
Publié par Sweetx-Shorty le Oct 21, 2013
Awesome substitute for peanut butter. You won't even miss the fatty-ness of real PB at all. Really like how i could adjust the consistency of the finished product. Want it stickier? Add less water! Want it more fluid? Just add a few drops of H2O! Easy to prepare and a delight to savor (:

10 financial facts
of life
There are just so many
things your parents can tell you. Most lessons
are learned through trial and error. That's OK
for the little stuff like how to disguise your
dragon tattoo at the job interview, but when it
comes to money -- mistakes really hurt. Here are
tips for keeping your flow.
interest rates have a dark side
Don't let rock-bottom interest distract
you from paying off your debts.
credit sends insurance premiums sky high
Industry experts say that your responsibility in handling
your credit is an accurate predictor of how much you're
going to pay for auto insurance.
"floats" are nearly extinct
The check you write today at the
grocery store could clear today -- thanks to new technology.
'fraud alerts' are not theft proof
Don't let your guard down, putting a fraud alert on
your credit report will not stop an identity thief.
hard drives aren't so clean
Just because it's deleted, doesn't mean it's gone. Make
sure you remove any account information before tossing
that computer away.

Oooo festive! The ruby red Barbara Nanning Glass Sculpture ($Inquire) would look great rolling out of Santa's gift bag, but please be gentle. Our favorite part is the mean gold spike piercing out of the bottom of the bowl. What an artsy bad attitude.
Barbara Nanning blew the top off of the craft world with technical innovations in sculpture. She hand blows, cuts, and sandblasts her glass and ceramic pieces and even adds luxury metallic materials like gold to the mix. If you don't believe us, there's a whole article about it. In the Spring, her solo exhibition, Wunderkammer - Cabinet of curiosities opens at the Glass Museum Alter Hof Herding in Germany. She's been winning prizes since the 90s, and has been featured in the Australian magazine, Ceramics: Art and Perception.

You gotta believe me! I wish you were there... Okay. Enough Jack Blacking around.
The recent disaster in Haiti has gotten me thinking about commemorative tattoos, be they for loved ones or traumatic events in your life. Memorial tattoos have been around just as long as tattoos themselves. Maybe you don't have one yourself, but I bet you know at least one person who does have a tattoo that they attribute to a loved one, a band, an event, or anything really. For many people, getting a tattoo is an integral part of the grieving process. For others, tattoos can be a way to celebrate their children, their idols, or a bond with a close friend.
Memorial tattoos can range from religious symbols to portraits to something as simple as a loved one's name. The gesture is a beautiful one and, even if the tattoo is god-awful, you have to respect the person who got it. This person is/was so affected by whoever their tattoo is for that they needed to raise a permanent memorial on their own body.
You can argue that every tattoo has a personal meaning to the wearer, but the following tattoos are representative of the love and dedication people can have for others.

Armed with a list of names and a stack of grocery gift cards, Dr. Akram Boutros walks the halls of MetroHealth Medical Center hand-delivering holiday thank-yous to his reports.
From nearly every office he enters, a peal of laughter spills back out, evidence of the rapport MetroHealth's president and CEO has built with his staff in just seven months on the job.
"There's remarkable impact in appreciation," says Boutros, who was previously a consultant for hospital turnarounds and an administrator at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, N.Y. "It helps create a bond between manager and staff that can spark a change in a relationship."
The chance to lead Cleveland's third-largest hospital may have been a professional enticement for Boutros, but what most energizes him are these opportunities to build up others. It is exactly what he's doing at MetroHealth, where five years of financial strain and layoffs have weakened morale among its 6,000-plus staff.
Becoming a doctor was a childhood dream of the Egyptian-born Boutros, who moved to New York City with his family at 12. Desperate to fit in and initially speaking no English, he drifted away from that path.
"I felt alone, with negative influences around me," he says. "I began hanging around kids who were forming a gang."
Then, while delivering newspapers at 15, Boutros was hit by a truck, which shattered his lower extremities. He didn't walk for six months and required 11 surgeries over seven years.
"I spent most of that first night sobbing," he says. "It put me back on track of wanting to be a doctor."
Boutros gravitated early in his career to administration, which he saw as a way to help more people than he could at the bedside. But today, he can be found a few times a week visiting with the most afflicted of MetroHealth's patients.
"Health care is a business. Medicine is a science. But what we're talking about is healing," he says. "It's forgetting your training and who you are and connecting with an individual on a human level."
Boutros' days start as early as 5 a.m. and end as late as 11 p.m., but each includes a couple of hours walking the halls — sometimes in scrubs — greeting employees with a high-five, hug or pat on the back.
Every interaction is a chance for encouragement, replacing the requisite "How are you?" with more direct approaches such as "Is there anything you need?" or "What can I do to help you?" "To help people believe in themselves and achieve greater than they ever thought possible, there's no greater joy in my life," says Boutros.

Daily Journal
Mississippi State and Ole Miss left the third weekend of college football season on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The Rebels erased a six-point halftime deficit to triumph 44-23 on the road at Texas, while MSU saw Auburn rally for a winning touchdown with 10-seconds remaining suffering a heartbreaking 24-20 defeat on the plains.
The win pushed Ole Miss halfway into bowl eligibility in just the third week of the season and avenged last year's 66-31 loss to the Longhorns. The Rebels – now ranked 21st in the AP poll – rolled up 449 yards total offense with Jeff Scott rushing for a career-high 164 yards and a touchdown and adding a 73-yard punt return for a score.
"To come in and stand toe-to-toe with them, I do think nationally it's going to help us in recruiting,"Freeze said.
The Rebels are 3-0 for the first time since 1989.
It was the fifth straight victory for the Rebels, dating back to last year's Egg Bowl and BBVA Compass Bowl wins.
The next test for Ole Miss will be a tough one – traveling to Tuscaloosa to take on top-ranked Alabama on Sept. 28, with two weeks to prepare.
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, fell to 1-2 on the year dropping their first conference outing.
MSU was without the services of starting quarterback Tyler Russell, who was not medically cleared to play following a Week 1 concussion.
Sophomore Dak Prescott accounted for 346 total yards and two touchdowns in his first SEC start, but it would not be enough. Prescott completed 15 of 28 passing for 213 yards and rushed 22 times for 133 yards and two scores, all career highs.
The Bulldogs held a 20-17 lead over Auburn until Nick Marshall orchestrated a 12-play, 88-yard drive for the victory in the waning moments.
Up next for State is a four-game homestand. starting with Troy on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The Bulldogs defeated the Trojans on the road last season 30-24 despite surrendering 572 yards.

It's getting warmer outside and the spring time has sprung here in Baltimore. What's a couple of well doing adults to do with those warming evening nights? What about a GhostWalk? Going on now, the Original Fell's Point GhostWalk powers on. If you missed your chance to do this last October, don't worry, you can go ahead a join them now as the tour ye old Fell's Points favorite spots. Maybe you'll spot a ghost yourself. But speaking of ghosts, goblins, and ghouls, let's get to our manga of the week. This week, we're stalking down Toukyou Kushu.
Since it won't be too long before this manga becomes an anime, it only felt right to do a review about it. Toukyou Kushu, or better known as Tokyo Ghoul in the US, isn't your standard zombie ghoul tale. While all the same tragic, the tale is weaved with the concepts of ghouls living right under humanity's nose. This is the unfortunate fact that Ken Kaneki learns first hand when he's brought face to face with his first ghoul, Riza. And though the experience doesn't quite end like Riza hopes, no one expected what was to happen next. Waking up in the middle of a hospital, Kaneki learns that the monster that just tried to eat him has become a part of him, and now his true hell was beginning.
As an advent follower of the manga, one of the things that drew people in was undoubtedly the artwork. There are hundreds, if not thousands of horror themed manga out there but Sui Ishida's cover art for the manga was unique. It was just so ordinary; a picture of a boy sitting in a chair in monotone colour but then there's this one odd thing that stands out, the colour of his left eye. There's this supernatural attraction while also having this overall sad/depressed expression on the boy who is Kaneki. It makes you want to read and find out why such a plan yet verbal cover. Once you crack up open the story, the artwork's beauty doesn't diminish. It's fluid and elegant while at the same time capturing the gore, horror, and cryptic nature of this almost modern day noir-esque town. Human and ghoul are nearly identical except for when the hunger comes to the ghoul and we see the difference in the eyes. Ishida doesn't make it so abstruse that they can't be perceived as humans. It is in fact the opposite that they look so human, it's scary. The kagunes are even drawn beautifully as you see the users as still human, but realize that these beautiful parts of the body can still kill and do horrible things.
The story starts at a moderate and emphatic pace with chapter one, but after that, things start to pick up. You get a lot of information in volume one involving Kaneki and it redefines what people think about ghouls. It's likely best to forget most of the myths about ghouls and zombies and just take the manga's definition of these beings as they are. For one, ghouls in the story aren't dead, undead, or otherwise. Kaneki and the rest of the ghouls are alive and kicking. Volume one doesn't focus on a villain but rather how Kaneki is coming to grip with things. He takes it like a lot of people take life breaking events, badly. But that's part of his charm as you watch this guy get dragged from hell to hell as he makes heads or tails of his new horrifying life. Of course, he has to eat which has him running into trouble since the only thing ghouls can stomach is human flesh. It's reminiscent of the yoma in Claymore. However, this is where a main villain of sorts comes in as Kaneki has to battle his hunger. The story keeps coming back to this primal drive and the fact that Kaneki has to accept it, even at the cost of humanity. Even though this type of plot has been done before, it's not overbearing or hackneyed. In the form that it is, it's refreshing, especially in the volumes that follow.
Overall, the manga is a must read. At points some may get tired of Kaneki whining, but that's part of the charm of the character. The manga is on its fifth released volume and getting ready to be serialized. Hopefully, the anime adaptation does the series its due justice and cuts no corner. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Register now for the 50th Annual New Berlin Soap Box Derby on Sept. 7 at Valley View Park, 5051 S Sunnyslope Road. in New Berlin.
Registration is open until Aug. 1 and is encouraged for all boys and girls between ages six and 16 and are New Berlin residents. Entry fee is $5 per driver, and each child will receive a commemorative T-shirt on the day of the event. Admission is free for all spectators.
Children are able to design, build, and race their own cars down a 1,000-foot-long, three-lane paved track. The bottom of the track is equipped with an electronic finish line system to determine race winners. Drivers can have their soap box sponsored by local businesses and race fans from around the United States.
Wheels, wheel brackets (axles) and steering wheels are provided for each driver after the car passes inspection and must be returned on race day. The steering wheel is the driver's to keep. Derby officials encourage families to make building the cars a team effort.
"It's an event that the family can look forward to," said Chris Lambach, commission chairman.
Drivers are broken down into three age classes, and the winning six drivers of each age class will race against each other to become class champions. The three class champions will race to determine the coveted champion of champions.
The Special Race for Special Kids class is celebrating a milestone of its own. This race class is open to individuals of any age with cognitive and physical challenges. Scout Troop 41 act as co-drivers in dual-control cars supplied by the commission. The S-class race began 30 years ago.
The awards night to celebrate all drivers is held two weeks after the derby. All drivers receive a commemorative plaque and a color photo of them in their car on race day. The top six drivers in each class also receive trophies and other prizes.
Originally started by the New Berlin Police Department in 1965, the derby started with small groups of racers using farm wagons as starting ramps. Today, the event averages 80 racers and is organized by a nonprofit group of volunteers known as The New Berlin Soap Box Derby Commission. These dedicated volunteers are committed to the growth and success of the derby and spend almost a full year planning the event.
To celebrate 50 years of racing, the commission has coordinated a few surprises, including a special event taking place the day before the race to thank and recognize previous racers and champions.
"I am really looking forward to seeing some of the past champions from the 70s that haven't seen the race in 20 or 30 years and seeing their expressions and (getting) their feedback on how far we have come," said Lambach.
Lambach, along with many other commission members, have been involved with the derby since the early 1970s.
"We are a good group of friends and we enjoy doing it," said fellow commissioner Tom Carpentier, the derby's registration chairman. "We really enjoy the smiles on the kids faces."
Register online at http://www.nbsoapboxderby.org/ or print, complete and mail the form found on the website. The site has race rules and sponsor information.
In honor of the 50th celebration, the commission is seeking photos of past races. Contact the commission via the derby websites to share any photos.

Between holiday revelry and counting down the last days of 2012, you long simply for cozy comfort. On top of it all, Huntsville is freaking freezing and you long only to be warm. You bundle up in layers with sweaters, belts, skinny cords and maybe even a pair of tights and brave the skating rink behind the museum in Big Spring Park or scour Bridge Street for winter sales. When it's as cold as this, there's only one option: Boots. While ankle grazing styles are fine for some, you crave the comfort, practical warmth and staying power of a pair of classic knee high boots.
This is a boot that won't go out of fashion. Don heeled versions with a pencil skirt on chilly days and flat styles pair perfectly with shorter hemlines and cozy tights. Of course, any of these styles wears beautifully with skinny jeans or leggings. For a fabulous, universally flattering look, pair your favorite soft tee or turtleneck with a waterfall front cardigan (be sure it covers your rear but hangs longer in the front) and add a thin belt just above the narrowest part of your waistline. Slip on super skinny pants in a substantial fabric and step into knee-high boots. It's cozy, comfortable and superbly flattering.
Whether you crave heels, flats, a bit of edge or a sleek preppy look, this line up has something for everyone and many of the styles are available in wider calf circumferences. So slip on those Rock-Star Skinny and step into a pair of these long-wearing boots. Check out the slideshow to see and shop the styles.

College Hockey:Deadlock: Vermont and UMass-Lowell Skate to 3-3 Tie
BURLINGTON, Vt. — It ended in a 3-3 tie Friday night as the Vermont Catamounts battled, coming back from a 3-1 deficit against the UMass-Lowell River Hawks at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
The game was a rematch of last seasons Hockey East quarterfinals during which Lowell swept the Catamounts in the series.
Juniors Wahsontiio Stacey and Justin Milo scored goals for the Catamounts, along with senior Brayden Irwin. Seniors Nick Schaus, Paul Worthington, and Chris Auger scored for UMass-Lowell.
River Hawks coach Blaise McDonald was disappointed with the result of the game while Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon was pleased with his teams effort.
I would say it was a very disappointing game for us and I think you have to credit UVM for making us play that way, McDonald said. We need to and we can play a lot better than we did tonight.
I just love the way our team played tonight, Sneddon said. You can look at the result and say its not a win but if we play like that the rest of the year, were going to be a tough team. I thought we played 65 of the hardest minutes weve played all year.
The Catamounts took an early lead in the first period when Stacey scored, putting the puck past the glove of Lowell goalie, senior Nevin Hamilton at 7:09. Assists were credited to Irwin and junior Jack Downing.
The 1-0 advantage would not last long for Vermont as the River Hawks scored a power-play goal to tie things up 1-1 at 13:32. Schaus scored, assisted by junior Ryan Blair and junior Scott Campbell.
The early part of the second period was marked by penalties for Vermont as senior assistant captain Patrick Cullity went to the box for interference at 3:13. Junior captain Kevan Miller joined Cullity soon after for cross-checking at 4:33.
The River Hawks took advantage. With Miller still serving the cross-checking penalty, Worthington slid the puck past sophomore goalie Rob Madore at 5:49, assisted by senior Ben Holmstrom and junior Maury Edwards.
UMass-Lowell (4-2-1 overall, 2-1-1 in Hockey East) increased their lead to 3-1 when senior Chris Auger scored, assisted by Holmstrom and senior Jonathan Maniff.
The goal was put under video review but was upheld.
The penalties would continue when Vermont received a bench penalty for too many men at 9:22. Schaus joined the box for slashing at 9:31 along with junior Scott Campbell for tripping at 9:48.
I dont think our penalties were any more than playing aggressive, Sneddon said.
This time it was Vermont that took advantage of the power play. Brayden Irwin put the puck straight through to the back of the net past Hamilton at 10:44, assisted by Milo and sophomore Drew Mackenzie.
UMass-Lowells 3-2 lead would carry over into the third period, until Vermont tied the game 3-3 when Milo scored at 8:55 from just outside the right circle, assisted by senior captain Brian Roloff and freshman Anders Franzon.
It was a nice rush by Brian Roloff, he came in, never stopped stick-handling, he cut into the middle, looked for his options, I was streaking down that right side, he made a little pass to me and it just kind of snuck under the goalies glove, it felt good, Milo said about the goal.
After Milos goal, Worthington received a charging penalty at 15:51, Burrows served a hitting after the whistle penalty at the same time. Seconds later, Holmstrom went to the box for boarding, giving Vermont a 4-3 advantage.
Though Vermont (2-3-1, 1-2-1) largely kept the puck within the offensive zone, the Catamounts were unable to score, keeping the score at 3-3 going into overtime.
Neither team was able to score in the five minute overtime, leaving the game in a 3-3 tie.
Hamilton had 34 saves for UMass-Lowell compared to 19 for Madore. Vermont out-shot the River Hawks 37-22.
The game was a big return for Vermonts Justin Milo, who was returning to the team following an injury.
Hes a very special athlete, Sneddon said. To play in a high-tempo game like that without much practice or conditioning just speaks volumes for what kind of athlete he really is.
It felt good to be a part of the team again, added Milo.
Irwin is Vermonts team leader in career goals against the River Hawks. He added to that with his goal and assist in this game.
It was a collective effort, Irwin said. Thats what got us back into the game.

Pediatricians who Support Alternative Choices
|Related Pages
We are looking for an alternative medical practitioner for our 10 month old daughter to care for her overall health, as well as to seek counsel with in regard to two current issues: a persistent rash in her neck folds and intermittent rash in her private areas and a shift in her bowel movements, both in consistency and frequency/effort. We are looking for someone who will not push vaccinations, is knowledgeable in non-western approaches too health and healing, and is a kind, patient, and accessible person. Thank you! rachel
Hi Folks! Can anyone recommend a pediatrician that is ok with delaying vaccinations up to 2 years? Ideally this pediatrician would also be ok if I decided not to get my child certain vaccinations. Thanks, everyone! My head is still spinning from researching all this stuff. Victoria
Can anyone refer a Pediatrician/Family Practice Doctor in the East Bay (Tri-Valley) Area who is good with kids and open minded (will consider/try alternative healing methods; not force vaccinations)? We have just moved to Livermore and are looking to find someone who fits this description who is within 30 min drive. Thanks. erica
I'm having a baby any minute now and would like some local (Oakland, Berkeley) recommendations on a pediatrician that is more open to alternative medicine and is willing to break with the traditional vaccine schedule. Thanks! Carolyn
However, I have decided we will switch to Pediatric Alternatives in Marin. They sound wonderful, well worth the drive. www.pediatricalternatives.com. I would also be interested in learning if any of the pediatricians in Berkeley Pediatrics Group support alternative vaccine schedules. Their webpage says they will not accept families who will not vaccinate, but I don't know what their policy is about alternative schedules (their policy is in pdf which I can't open for some reason). - Dr. Sears fan
We are about to have our first child and don't have a history of pediatric care in the bay area (we're both from the east coast). We are a very earth-based, holistically minded couple in search of a pediatrician that is open to supporting a non-traditional approach to pediatric care, i.e. the schedule of vaccinations (whether or not we get them), etc. We're in Oakland and are covered by BCBS PPO. Any suggestions/recommendations would be welcome and appreciated. Thank you- first-time parents
Looking for a pediatrician that is open to a modified vaccination schedule that is near Benicia. I have read most of the posts about the doctors in and around Berkeley. I was hoping there might be one closer to East Vallejo/Benicia area. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sasha
Hi All, I am in search of a Pediatrician who honors an ''alternative'' vaccine schedule. Anyone out there had any luck finding one??? Would really appreciate some help. tired of being chastised for deviating
Pediatric vaccines are recommended because they prevent devastating diseases, which are not entirely absent in the US today. A mother of a 7 month old in Minnesota discovered this when her child died of Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) meningitis in 2008, when she had delayed vaccination because of concerns about possible adverse effects. This case is reported in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, January 30, 2009 / 58(03);58-60 which states ''...During 2008 in Minnesota, five children aged 5 months to 3 years were reported with invasive Hib disease; one died. The patients resided in five different counties in Minnesota and had no known relationship to each other. Three patients had received no vaccinations because of parent or guardian deferral or refusal....''
Overall, Hib disease has around a 5% fatality rate--and about a quarter of survivors of meningitis have long term neurologic damage. The Hib vaccine is over 95% effective, and very safe. I think it is crucial for parents to have accurate information in making important decisions for their children. informed decision maker
Looking for a referral to a holistic pediatrician in the East Bay Area. Thank you! Julia
Unfortunately, there are currently no western medical practitioners in the east bay that actually practice holistic medicine. The closest option we have in the east bay are Medical Doctors that accept/support/tolerate parents' use of an alternative therapies for their children.
There is a group in Mill Valley called Pediatric Alternatives- and another group down in Bellemont that consist of MDs practicing holistic medicine in their practice.
I am very interested in the Pediatric Alternatives practice in Mill Valley, but don't want to travel that far for pediatrics care. Is there any place near Berkeley that offers an integrative approach to children's health care? From the Pediatric Alternatives website: ''Integrative Medicine [combines] western medicine with alternative care, including herbal remedies and classical homeopathy.'' Their doctors are both MD and NDs. Thanks!
I'm looking for a pediatrician who is attachment parenting-friendly and who has a warm, generous, caring style. I am currently with Bayside Pediatriacs and, while I like the doctors OK, I hope to find an office that isn't so rushed with such impossibly long wait times. I also have an image in my head of a deeply kind, big-hearted pediatrician who remembers my son from visit to visit, who is a brilliant physician, who takes the time to teach us about our health, and who supports and even facilitates methods of healing that aren't always about medication. Also, someone who supports a delayed vaccine schedule and doesn't think that elimination communication is weird. I would like to *love* our pediatrician! We're in Berkeley. Thank you! Happy New Year! - lookin' for a big heart
That said, I have no idea what he knows about elimination communication. I think he'd be ok with adjusting the vaccine schedule, but I know he is firm on kids getting vaccinated. Go and talk to him, and ask him. Frank
I am looking for a pediatrician, and open to a health care professional from a different discipline, for my 5 year old daughter and my baby-on-the-way. We want someone who is open to alternative modalities, and supportive of our following an alternative vaccine schedule. Here's the catch: I need someone who will bill my insurance. Cynthia
The pediatrician doesn't have to be PRO-homebirth, just homebirth-FRIENDLY, but that wouldn't fit in the heading. :) We're having a daughter in mid-January, hopefully at home, and we would like to know if anyone has had experience with homebirth and any of the female pediatricians at East Bay Pediatrics. Our three-year-old son sees Dr. Richard Oken at East Bay Pediatrics, and although we think he's a great doctor, he's old-school and old-fashioned and (although we haven't yet asked him for his opinion) probably not a fan of homebirth. (Also, he's male, and we'd like a female doctor at the same practice for our daughter.) Thanks for any advice you can share! Nicole R.
Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for good SF-based pediatricians who support delayed/modified vaccination schedules. Thanks! anon
Since it looked like I was going to have to drive 30 minutes anyway to get to the CPMC end of town, I decided to go with Bayside Medical Group in Berkeley. We see Dr. Jenna Seiff, and have had a very good experience with her. We are splitting all our vaccinations so we go twice as often for half the number of shots. We also decided to skip Hep B until age 10, skip rotovirus completely, and delay chicken pox until school age. This has been absolutely no problemo with them.
There is a new pediatric clinic which opened just a few months ago - it's medical professionals who have recently left St. Luke's and it's on the corner of I think Church and 29th. I perused their website and they sounded open to flexible vaccination. I would have switched but they don't work as well with my insurance situation. I'll keep my eyes open next time I drive by and post again with the name of it if I can.
Continuation of earlier posting: the new SF pediatric clinic is on the corner of 29th and Church and it is called GetzWell Pediatrics (www.getzwell.com) Another SF Mama
Can anyone recommend a pediatrician in the Alta Bates medical group that doesn't push vaccines? I'm having my first baby in June and would love to find a natural leaning doctor for our new baby. Lesly
If there is anyone who can help me finding a doctors practice that will take non- vaccinated children, I would be really grateful. I have just moved here from England 8 weeks ago and would like to find a sympathetic doctor, who won't try to convince me to vaccinate. I have three young boys aged 6 1/2, 4 1/2 and 9 mths. Thanks. lucy
As part of my research I would like to interview one or two Pediatricians that are NOT hot on Vaccines. Any recommendations? Annon
My husband and I just moved to the East Bay (albany, to be exact) with a 2 1/2 month old baby and need to find a Dr. We are not vaccinating our child and would like a Dr. who will not give us a lot of problems for that. Thank you. Kelly
Other advice:
I have searched high and low and have left several pediatricians because they were disrespectful of my parenting decisions. I have found the doctor of my dreams! Not only is he not for vaccinations, he is a doctor of Chinese medicine, homeopathy and accupuncture. He has several books out on vaccinations and has a great web site www.cure-guide.com His name is Randall Neustadter. He is in Redwood City butit is worth the drive! His number is 650-299-9170. Feel free to email me offline for more info. Melissa
We are looking for a new pediatrician for our seven months old son who was born at home and hasn't had any vaccinations yet. We would like a pediatrician who won't freak out by this, and, preferably, is also open to alternative medicine. Also, we would like the pediatrician's office to be reachable by public transport. (This is one reason why I don't want to see Dr. Gill who is recommended by the website.)
Recommendations received:
We're looking for a pediatrician for our 16 month old. Previous postings that I've seen here didn't address our very specific wishes. We'd like someone who is fantastic with the child (and his lesbian parents...), and who is supportive or at least comfortable with various choices we're making, including limited and flexibly-timed immunizations, use of alternative medicine (such as homeopathy), family bed, and who doesn't keep us waiting in their office for more than 15-20 minutes (we waited 1.5 hours last week for our doctor!). Kind office and nursing staff are also important to us. Thanks in advance.
Recommendations received:
I am looking for a pediatrician who is supportive/knowledgable about vegan/vegetarian toddlers. Any advice? Or recommendations? Thanks!

A New Way to Screen Problem Drinkers on Campuses
Asking students whether they've ever blacked out may be a more efficient way of screening them for future alcohol-related health problems than asking them how much they drink, a study suggests. (This was the blackout question: "Have you suddenly found yourself in a place you could not remember getting to?")
A survey of 1,000 high-risk drinkers (they were all at least moderately heavy imbibers) at five universities, beginning in 2004, found that more than half had found themselves in such a situation, at least once, in the year preceding the study. What's more, one quarter had blacked out 3 or more times, 7% six or more times. Measuring blackouts instead of amount of drinks consumed leveled the gender playing field somewhat: While women drank one-third less, by volume, than men, they blacked out roughly as often. (Go, ladies!)
The study followed these students for two years. Over that period roughly a third visited an emergency room. It wasn't exactly clear how many of those visits were alcohol related, but the number of E.R. visits correlated closely with the number of reported alcohol-related injuries. Importantly, past blackouts were strongly predictive of future need of emergency care. Study subjects who'd had one blackout had 20% more emergency-room visits than students who had not. Meanwhile, those who had blacked out six or more times had nearly double the emergency-care rate of the no-blackout group.
The authors of the study are based at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. On a campus that size, they calculate, blackout-related emergency-room visits by students cost roughly a half-million dollars annually.

Diesel Systems Technology
Students are taught the general concepts of diesel systems technology. Technicians in this field repair and maintain diesel equipment, such as trucks, buses and construction equipment. This includes bulldozers, earth movers, cranes and other dieselpower equipment.
Diesel technicians use common hand tools like pliers, wrenches and screwdrivers, as well as special tools. They also may use testing equipment like dynamometers-which measure engine power, special fuel injection equipment and electronic-controlled engines.
Most diesel technicians are required to buy their own hand tools. Beginning students accumulate more tools as they gain experience. A prospective diesel technician should be in good physical condition and have above-average mechanical ability and eye-hand coordination.
Any course offered in this program can be taken as part of the vocational/technical electives for an associate of science degree in general studies.
General Education and elective courses provide training in effective oral and written communication and human relations skills, opening doors for upward mobility.

WHEELING - Community leaders from the municipal to national level gathered with hundreds of others Friday as Italian-American of the Year Bob Gaudio cut the red ribbon to officially begin the 2014 Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival at Wheeling's Heritage Port.
"I was lucky enough to be born Italian," U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said as the ceremony ended and vendors and entertainers kicked off three busy days. "There are those smart enough to marry Italian. But everybody's Italian today. It's just a wonderful weekend."
State Delegate Mike Ferro, D-Marshall, said the Italian festival is all about community.

West Virginia Auditor Glen Gainer, left, Wheeling solicitor Rosemary Humway-Warmuth, Clare McDonald, Bob Gaudio and Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., prepare to begin festivities at the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival on Friday.
"This is one of the most exciting events of the year," Ferro said. "It just really unites the entire Ohio Valley."
As the Italian-American of the Year, Gaudio said he considers himself and his family extremely honored. The award, he explained, is given each year to a resident of the Ohio Valley based on their contributions to the community. With a record including service in Youth Services System Inc., Legal Aid of West Virginia, local Sleep Out programs and more than 6 years one the Italian festival's board of directors, Gaudio said he does a lot in the Ohio Valley.
"When you reach a certain place in your life that you have the ability to serve others, then you have a duty to do so," Gaudio said. "I feel it is my duty. I humbly accepted (this honor) on behalf of my family."
Gaudio said a weekend of fun lies ahead for those visiting the festival including delicious food, unique vendors and plenty of entertainment, with two stages set up on opposite sides of the festival.
For the city of Wheeling, Mayor Andy McKenzie said the festival has a special place of distinction.
"The Italian Festival is the best of the best," McKenzie said. "What's unique about it is that the Italian Festival was the benchmark of creating all these other festivals. Now we have festivals and events all summer long. This was the grandfather of them all. What a wonderful weekend this is going to be."

Europe has the highest alcohol consumption per capita in the world. According to a study by the World Health Organisation (WHO), on average, each European drinks 9.24 litres of pure alcohol every year; more than 20 % of all adults are getting drunk more or less regularly.
When focusing on young adults, this problem becomes more severe: According to a recent European school survey on alcohol and other drugs (ESPAD 2012), adolescents in Europe have their first alcoholic beverage on average approximately at the age of 13 - and 12 % of the interviewees also reported having their first alcoholic intoxication at this age. This means that adolescents, who get contact with alcohol, try on risky consumption patterns quite fast.
The European project of TAKE CARE developed new strategies in order to encourage a responsible handling of alcohol by adolescents - and for this the project chose the demanding multilevel approach, which incorporates the parents, key persons and employees in retail, in addition to the adolescents For most project partners addressing four different target groups and still pursuing one goal, has been a completely new experience. The project is designed according to the social environment of adolescents.
The main goals of TAKE CARE:
- Compliance with legislation regarding the protection of the youth.
- Motivating young people for a responsible drinking behaviour.
The goals for the specific target groups are:
- Training the risk competence of the adolescents.
- Strengthening the educational skills of the parents through a reflected attitude towards the alcohol consumption of their children.
- Supporting the key persons, so that they are capable of talking about alcohol consumption and initiating constructive talks with the adolescents.
- Informing and training retailers, caterers and owners of kiosks, so that they become aware of the problem and can act consequently.
The method of the multilevel approach had already been tested
and successfully evaluated between 2004 and 2007 as part of the pilot project SeM (Secondary prevention in a Multilevel approach), which has been developed by the LWL Coordination Office for Drug-related Issues and ran in cooperation with the city of Münster.
More information on this project you will find here.

"Downton Abbey" season 4 premieres on PBS on Sunday, according to a Jan. 2 New York Times report. The British series opens up season 4 to the roaring 1920s, and a new cause; an African-American jazz musician who has caught the eye of the earl's niece. Fans should expect more stretched out drama but, as always the plot is "both utterly predictable and surprisingly addictive," the New York Times said.
As the Examiner previously reported, season 4's storyline, finds Sophie McShera's character, young kitchen worker Daisy still pining over Alfred. "Downton Abbey" Season 4's 1920s-era opens up new opportunities for all the women.
But as for Daisy, "She's still only got eyes for Alfred," McShera shared with Access Hollywood . "She won't let it go. And it's really clear that he's not having any of it. But I feel like she thinks persistence will win out and it really won't." According to McShera, skills may win out as Daisy tries to use her kitchen skills to win his affections.
"He's really into cooking, so she tries to woo him by teaching him dishes. He just makes a souffle with Daisy and then tries to talk to Ivy." Fans should stay tuned for more of Daisy's jealousy as she vies for Alfred's attention with fellow kitchen maid Ivy.
"They were being civil. They were being like frenemies, but now she hates Ivy again," McShera dishes. "She can't suppress the burning jealousy and hatred for Ivy. Everyone fancies Ivy and Daisy's livid."
So what else does the 1920s bring to Downton Abbey"? McShera spills the beans. "There's a bit of everything, like the jazz thing. There's a lot of women in this series going off doing things that they wouldn't have been able to do before, like going for dinner with men in public -- Lady Edith," she explained.
Season 4 of "Downton Abbey" premieres Sunday, Jan. 5 at 9 p.m. on PBS.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
California, Illinois, Alabama, off grid living, smaller homes
Over the past year or so, since the economy crashed, we've been encouraged by Americans' disenchantment with inefficient, unsatisfying McMansions and evidence that they're seeking smaller, greener homes and home features instead. A National Association of Home Builders survey found that after 30 years of continual growth, average single-family home size had declined from 2,520 square feet in 2008 to 2,480 square feet in 2009. An American Institute of Architects' Home Design Trends Survey showed more homeowners eschewing upscale amenities in favor of flexible, open and informal spaces that allow for easy movement and family living. The not-so-big and tiny house movements are exploding.
In this morning's Allentown Morning Call, reporter Dawn Klingensmith offers more good local anecdotes that illustrate this trend. Opulence is out, she reports, and mini-castles aren't selling. "People don't like to display evidence of wealth in their houses anymore," San Diego real estate broker Marian Anthony said.
"Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances were very popular in the past," Chicago realtor Eileen Casey said. "But now more eco-friendly countertops and energy-saving appliances and fixtures are in, along with other eco-friendly choices."
Dana Wolter, an interior designer in Birmingham, Alabama, reports that most of her clients "would rather have a smaller home with better-quality finishes than a large house with spec home amenities."
We may not be getting richer these days, but we're certainly getting smarter.
