Giving thanks is more difficult than it has been in years for so many Americans. As banks foreclose the economic crisis hits home and has become about more than money. Families overextended themselves when professionals told them they would fall behind if they didn't BUY NOW. Students, young and old took out mountains of loans when shown statistics of graduates obtaining high paying jobs upon graduation. Insight into the phrase "Buyer beware" is at an all-time high as consumer confidence hits record lows.
This Thanksgiving, imagine the executive salesmen of the country far off in their ivory tower while those of us who labor focus on the fundamentals and give thanks for the basic necessities we have that others do not.
We are thankful for our families who love us, for the food we have to nourish us and for our communities that support us. Law firms in your community can help you learn about your rights as a consumer, form a business to provide you work when jobs are scarce and identify protections in the law that you were unaware of.
Join us as we post articles here to answer many of the questions we receive every day. Please comment at your leisure and suggest topics of interest. If you have a specific question, call and set up at time to come in and talk about your problem.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for family, friends, food, football but also the opportunity to give back to my community by advocating for them at a time when the sound of their voice may be the most important thing they have left.
– John Mlnarik, Founder/Principal Bankruptcy Attorney

"Collaborations reap the raddest rewards when the participants tease out the weirder and wilder geographies of their vibe-map Venn diagram, and for this reason (among others) The Integration LP is a deep achievement of mood-swing motion and freaky feminine mystique. The meshing of Maria Minerva's alienated pop constructs with LA Vampires' degraded Byronic house births a cool niche catalog of unclassifiable style prototypes, from new wave apocalypto to teutonic club dubs to Harajuku romance anthems, all unified by their tag-teamed sisters-with-voices symbiosis. The album's nine songs were founded on skrewed LA Vampires beats and tape samples, shaped by Minerva's psycho-echo vocal melodies, further articulated by multi-instrumentalist Nick Crozier-Malkin's synth leads and additional drum programming, before being filtered back through Los Angeles's recordist extraordinaire Brian Foote's masterboard for micro-edits and fine-tuning. The finished collection is a crooked, captivating composite of bleached-out Day-glo party music, Percy Bysshe Shelley poetics, reverbed keyboard drama, extraterrestrial romance metaphors, seasonal meditation, and weird world studio wizardry - another too-true-for-comfort statement from two of today's most unpredictable nonviolent femmes."

Sierra Noble has been one of Winnipeg, Manitoba's most promising young talents since releasing her first instrumental album at age 14. Well known for most of her life as a fiddle virtuoso who breezes through numerous styles of music with stunning ease, Sierra's breadth of experience in music and in life at 22 is impressive.
But, she has never been one to rest on her laurels. Encouraged by fellow musicians to sing, at age 17 Sierra decided to try her hand at writing songs. Her journey as a singer-songwriter has proven to be off to a promising start. Inspired by everything from the folk styling's of the great Patty Griffin, to Top 40 hits from the last 6 decades, Sierra picked up the guitar and quickly began honing a unique style and voice of her own.
Although relatively new to the American public, Sierra's music has taken her around the world, touring in Asia, Europe, North and South America. Sierra's shows captivate audiences with compelling mood setting performances creating an atmosphere where stunning instrumentals and hook laden pop songs exist in perfect harmony. Those same performances have brought opportunities such as opening for Paul McCartney, Kid Rock, Bon Jovi, as well as performing in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and for the Queen of England
Her songs speak of universal themes of love, longing, and discovery wrapped in infectious melodies and delivered with sincerity and conviction. Her voice, a study in gorgeous contradictions – wonderfully pure yet layered with subtle, smoky tones. "...Subtle yet deep, emotionally moving and soul-satisfying!" said a Texas fan about the young songstress.
Her folk/pop style is evident with the 2009 critically acclaimed 6 song EP release, "Possibilities". The single, "Possibility" was played on radio stations across Canada with her music video for the song debuting in the Top 20 Countdown on CMT Canada.
Sierra's music grabbed the attention of the Television industry. Her music has been heard in hit TV shows such as; One Tree Hill, (Possibility and I Can See), Life Unexpected, (Possibility), Switched at Birth (Human After All and I Can See), and most recently, Parenthood, (Human After All).
Carrying on momentum into 2011, Sierra was the first Canadian ever to be named the winner of "Best Song" and "Best Performance" at the prestigious 52nd Annual Viña Del Mar International Song Festival in Chile in front of 100 million in Spanish speaking countries around the globe with her song "Try Anything", A song that she wrote while still in high school.
Sierra's youtube channel has over 500,000 uploaded views. Additionally, the track, Human After All debuted at #6 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart on the heels of the TV broadcast of the Parenthood episode ("Missing") which featured the song in it's entirety.
Sierra is now spending most of her time in New York City where a fateful chance meeting with legendary Grammy Award winning producer, Russ Titelman (Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Steve Winwood, Randy Newman, Rickie Lee Jones) fueled an immediate creative chemistry.
Sierra Noble is an artist to watch for with her full length album, produced by Russ Titelman to be released in early 2013.

The increased efficiency of production of the industrial revolution produced an even greater surplus than before. Now the surplus was not just agricultural goods, but also manufactured goods. This larger surplus caused all of the changes discussed earlier in the domestication revolution to become even more pronounced.
Once again, the population boomed. Increased productivity made more goods available to everyone. However, inequality became even greater than before. The breakup of agricultural-based feudal societies caused many people to leave the land and seek employment in cities. This created a great surplus of labor and gave capitalists plenty of laborers who could be hired for extremely low wages.

sinus disorder education
The team at The Bon Secours Sinus Center of Excellence believes that patient education is crucial in understanding your treatment. It is important to first learn about your sinuses and their role with your health before you agree to a sinus treatment or sinus surgery.
sinuses are air spaces behind the bones of the upper face, between the
eyes and behind the forehead, nose and cheeks. The sinuses are covered
with a mucus layer and cells that contain little hairs on their surfaces
called cilia. These help trap and push out bacteria and pollutants. Each
sinus has an opening that allows mucus to drain – this drainage is
essential to keeping your sinuses working well and you healthy. Anything
that obstructs that flow may cause a buildup of mucus in the sinuses.
Experts agree that healthy sinuses are a key to a good quality of life and that unhealthy sinuses may cause some unwanted complications.
Sinusitis (also called rhinosinusitis) is the name of the condition in which the lining of your sinuses becomes inflamed. Normally, the sinuses drain through small openings into the inside of the nose. Anything that blocks the flow may cause a buildup of mucus in the sinuses. The blockage and inflammation of the sinus membranes can be infectious or non-infectious.
What are the symptoms of chronic sinusitis?
The symptoms caused by sinusitis may be quite uncomfortable. The signs and symptoms may include:
- Facial pain, pressure, congestion or fullness
- Difficulty breathing through the nose
- Discharge of yellow or green mucus from the nose
- Teeth pain
- Lost or altered sense of smell or taste
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Bad breath
- Cough
Types of Sinusitis
There are two main categories of sinusitis: acute and chronic. Sinusitis is usually preceded by a cold, allergy attack or irritation from environmental pollutants. Often, the resulting symptoms, such as nasal pressure, nasal congestion, a runny nose and fever, run their course in a few days. However, if symptoms persist, a bacterial infection or acute sinusitis may develop. Most cases of sinusitis are acute (or sudden onset); however, if the condition occurs frequently or lasts three months or more, you may have chronic sinusitis.
How is sinusitis treated?
There are two main approaches for treating sinusitis patients: endoscopic sinus surgery and medication.

Hacked Circuit
(Deborah Stratman, 2014, 15 min)
A single-shot, choreographed portrait of the Foley process, revealing multiple layers of fabrication and imposition. The circular camera path moves us inside and back out of a Foley stage in Burbank, CA. While portraying sound artists at work, typically invisible support mechanisms of filmmaking are exposed, as are, by extension and quotation, governmental violations of individual privacy.
The scene being foleyed is the final sequence from The Conversation where Gene Hackman's character Harry Caul tears apart his room searching for a 'bug' that he suspects has been covertly planted. The look of Caul's apartment as he tears it apart mirrors the visual chaos of the Foley stage. This mirroring is also evident in the dual portraits of sonic espionage expert Caul and Foley artist Gregg Barbanell, for whom professionalism is marked by an invisibility of craft. And in the doubling produced by Hackman's second appearance as a surveillance hack, twenty-four years later in Enemy of the State.
These filmic quotations ground Hacked Circuit, evoking paranoia, and a sense of conviction alongside a lack of certainty about what is visible. The complication of the seen, the known, the heard and the undetectable provides thematic parallels between the stagecraft of Foley and a pervasive climate of government surveillance.

What better way for all of us to seek our destiny than by reviewing and observing the past. St. Lucie County School District's F. K. Sweet Elementary School students Shadalou Fernandez, Danielle Murray, Kate Bachmeyer, and Lani' Chambers were announced as winners in a recent patriotic art contest at the school. Participating students learned the history of many American symbols as they completed their patriotic drawings.
As part of the contest at Francis K. Sweet Elementary School-- kindergarten, first and second grade students studied the Liberty Bell; third and fourth grade students learned about the nation's first flag; and fifth grade students learned about the iconic Rosie The Riveter character from World War II; students included an essay with their art. We never stop learning if we reach out to learn. See attached list with interesting information on the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross (first U.S. flag), and Rosie the Riveter.
REF: Lucie Links Newsletter (SLCSD) Jan. 2013

The Bell's Message
The Liberty Bell's inscription conveys a message of liberty which goes beyond the words themselves. Since the bell was made, the words of the inscription have meant different things to different people. When William Penn created Pennsylvania's government he allowed citizens to take part in making laws and gave them the right to choose the religion they wanted. The colonists were proud of the freedom that Penn gave them. In 1751, the Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly ordered a new bell for the State House. He asked that a Bible verse to be placed on the bell - "Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof" (Leviticus 25:10). As the official bell of the Pennsylvania State House (today called Independence Hall) it rang many times for public announcements. The old State House bell was first called the "Liberty Bell" by a group trying to outlaw slavery. These abolitionists remembered the words on the bell and, in the 1830s, adopted it as a symbol of their cause. Beginning in the late 1800s, the Liberty Bell traveled around the country to expositions and fairs to help heal the divisions of the Civil War. It reminded Americans of their earlier days when they fought and worked together for independence. In 1915, the bell made its last trip and came home to Philadelphia, where it now silently reminds us of the power of liberty. For more than 200 years people from around the world have felt the bell's message. No one can see liberty, but people have used the Liberty Bell to represent this important idea.
Betsy would often tell her children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends of the fateful day when three members of a secret committee from the Continental Congress came to call upon her. Those representatives, George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross, asked her to sew the first flag. This meeting occurred in her home some time late in May 1776. George Washington was then the head of the Continental Army. Robert Morris, an owner of vast amounts of land, was perhaps the wealthiest citizen in the Colonies. Colonel George Ross was a respected Philadelphian and also the uncle of her late husband, John Ross.
Naturally, Betsy Ross already knew George Ross as she had married his nephew. Furthermore, Betsy was also acquainted with the great General Washington. Not only did they both worship at Christ Church in Philadelphia, but Betsy's pew was next to George and Martha Washington's pew. Her daughter recalled, "That she was previously well acquainted with Washington, and that he had often been in her house in friendly visits, as well as on business. That she had embroidered ruffles for his shirt bosoms and cuffs, and that it was partly owing to his friendship for her that she was chosen to make the flag."
In June 1776, brave Betsy was a widow struggling to run her own upholstery business. Upholsterers in colonial America not only worked on furniture but did all manner of sewing work, which for some included making flags. According to Betsy, General Washington showed her a rough design of the flag that included a six-pointed star. Betsy, a standout with the scissors, demonstrated how to cut a five-pointed star in a single snip. Impressed, the committee entrusted Betsy with making our first flag.
Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of the United States, representing the American women who worked in factories during World War II, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies] These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. Rosie the Riveter is commonly used as a symbol of feminism and women's economic power.
The term "Rosie the Riveter" was first used in 1942 in a song of the same name written by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb. The song was recorded by numerous artists, including the popular big band leader Kay Kyser, and it became a national hit. The song portrays "Rosie" as a tireless assembly line worker, who is doing her part to help the American war effort.[5] The name is said to be a nickname for Rosie Bonavitas who was working for Convair in San Diego, California.] The idea of Rosie resembled Veronica Foster, a real person who in 1941 was Canada's poster girl for women in the war effort in "Ronnie, the Bren Gun Girl."
A man and woman riveting team working on the cockpit shell of a C-47 aircraft at the plant of North American Aviation (1942) and although women took on male dominated trades during World War II, they were expected to return to their everyday housework once men returned from the war. Government campaigns targeting women were addressed solely at housewives, perhaps because already employed women would move to the higher-paid "essential" jobs on their own, perhaps because it was assumed that most would be housewives. One government advertisement asked women "Can you use an electric mixer? If so, you can learn to operate a drill." Propaganda was also directed at their husbands, many of whom were unwilling to support such jobs. Most women opted to do this. Later, many women returned to traditional work such as clerical or administration positions, despite their reluctance to re-enter the lower-paying fields. However, some of these women continued working in the factories.

College Hockey:Berkhoel Backstops Pioneers To Title Game
DENVER — Sophomore forward Lukas Dora scored an empty-net goal with less than one minute remaining and sophomore netminder Adam Berkhoel made 24 saves to solidify Denver's 3-1 win over Bowling Green in the semifinals of the 2001 Wells Fargo Denver Cup on Friday at Magness Arena.
The Pioneers improve to 15-2-0 overall on the season with their fourth consecutive win and improve to 15-3-1 in Denver Cup games. BGSU drops its third straight decision and falls to 5-12-4 on the season, losing in its first-ever appearance at the Denver Cup.
Denver opened the scoring in the first period when senior defenseman Bryan Vines fired shot towards the net that was initially saved by Falcon netminder Tyler Masters, but freshman forward Luke Fulghum rushed the net to pick up the rebound and chipped the puck into web to give Denver a 1-0 lead just seven minutes into the game.
Despite being out-shot 27-2 in the opening frame, the Falcons stormed out of the locker room in the second period and attacked Denver's defense, but the Pioneers maintained their composure and retaliated with their second goal of the game.
Junior Greg Barber stalled BGSU's onslaught when he lit the lamp for Denver midway through the second period for his seventh goal of the season that increased Denver's lead to 2-0.
Bowling Green pulled to within one goal minutes later when Falcon defenseman Brian Escobedo wristed a shot over Berkhoel's shoulder that found the back of the net during a four-on-four skirmish.
The goal, Escobedo's fourth of the season, kept the game close late into the third period, but it was not enough as the Falcons suffered their third straight loss against the Pioneers. Both teams traded offensive rushes down the stretch but were unable to get the puck in the net.
Masters stood on his head for three periods and turned away a career-high 51 Denver shots, but his team's lack of offensive production resulted in his ninth loss of the season. For the game, Denver peppered Bowling Green with 54 shots and allowed just 25.
"We did a lot of good things tonight," said Denver head coach George Gwozdecky. "Our forwards showed a lot of speed and created a lot of scoring chances, but give credit to Tyler Masters he was phenomenal in net tonight. Our front line got frustrated late in the game when they weren't scoring, but Berkhoel kept his poise and made some big saves for us down the stretch.
"The best thing about tonight is that we got the win and gave ourselves a chance to defend the Denver Cup title tomorrow night."
Coming into Friday's contest the Falcons were the most penalized team in the nation, averaging 12 penalties a game for 24 minutes, but their play was harnessed against the Pioneers as they were whistled just four times for eight minutes.
No. 3 Denver will face No. 5 UMass-Lowell in the championship tilt on Saturday. The red-hot River Hawks advanced after posting their ninth consecutive win, a 2-0 victory over No. 14 Harvard. Bowling Green is scheduled to battle the Crimson in the consolation game. The puck will drop at 4:05 p.m. MST and the championship bout will immediately follow.

Financial Discipline Can Aid Happiness in the Long Run
By Dan Serra
RISMEDIA, April 10, 2010--(MCT)--We all have habits a good and bad. We work the same hours, we eat the same food, we watch the same TV shows. Many of us also have habits when it comes to our money. We know what to do, but we fall into a habit and it doesn't solve our money problems, such as going to the mall when we need to save rather than spend. But with a little motivation, these habits can be broken.
Psychologists say it takes 30 days to create a new habit. This means focus intently on what you want to do and after 30 days it won't be as hard. Getting up at 5 a.m. to work out may be hard at first, but if you push yourself, after 30 days it will become a daily routine with less effort. The same thing goes for your money.
The first money habit to create is a positive attitude. Money frustrates, especially when we don't have enough, and this creates emotional barriers to financial success. Changing your mind-set to rule your money is the first step to keep your money from ruling you. If you don't have enough money, accept the fact and create a life under those restrictions, or work toward earning more money. Money does not buy happiness. Once we accept that our stress levels are reduced by living within our means, we become better people.
Next, develop a habit of budgeting. This budget can be simple, such as three categories: monthly bills, monthly savings and the rest for everything else. Or it can detail your spending habits to show what needs to change. Make goals a habit by budgeting for them and reviewing the progress every week or month.
Another good habit is creating a debt-free life. Once life is without debt, there are fewer pressures and more chances of budgeting and goal achievement. Having a no-debt attitude as a daily reaffirmation makes us think twice when lured by a possible debt.
There are many positive money habits but these are the most important to stay in control of personal finances and make a 30-day commitment to form.
To develop other habits to become money savvy, a new book has these and many strategies to saving and spending money. "Your Money: The Missing Manual" is a compilation of financial strategies from financial experts brought together in one easy-to-read book. Author J.D. Roth has been blogging on GetRichSlowly.org about his experience learning how to manage money and overcome debt, and he shares the knowledge he has gained over the years in one book. The book is also a reference for the abundance of online financial resources he has tried.
It's a good book to have around, and to get in the habit of reading frequently.

Postmeet recap | Press Conference
Los Angeles - UCLA women's gymnastics advanced to its fourth-straight Super Six NCAA Team final, finishing in a tie for second place in the second semifinal on Friday evening. Alabama won the session with a score of 197.350, followed by UCLA and Oklahoma, who tied for second with a team score of 197.200. The Bruins will compete for their seventh NCAA title on Saturday at 4 pm.
UCLA, Alabama and Oklahoma will join Florida, LSU and Georgia, who advanced out of the first semifinal.
For Super Six, UCLA will start on bars, then beam, bye before floor, floor, and will vault in Rotation 5. The Bruins will have a bye for the sixth and final rotation of the session.
The Bruins opened the session on beam, scoring a 49.075 on the event. Freshman Danusia Francis scored a 9.90 in the anchor position to lead the way for UCLA, while classmate Sophina DeJesus posted a 9.825, and Lichelle Wong and Vanessa Zamarripa each turned in scores of 9.80. After the first rotation, UCLA stood in third place behind Michigan and Oklahoma.
Following the team's first bye, a focused Bruin squad returned to the floor exercise in Rotation 3. DeJesus led off with a 9.850, and Zamarripa got the Pauley Pavilion crowd onto their feet with a 9.900. The Bruins continued to hit their floor routines for big scores, as Alyssa Pritchett matched Zamarripa's 9.900. Junior Olivia Courtney rebounded from a disappointing beam routine with a resounding success on floor, scoring a meet-high-tying 9.950. UCLA turned in a team floor score of 49.450.
The momentum continued on vault, as the first four Bruins matched or topped their season-best scores. Kaelie Baer qualified for vault event finals with a career-high and meet-best 9.950. Lichelle Wong, Zamarripa and Courtney each posted a 9.900, and UCLA matched its best vault score of the season with a 49.500.
"When everyone was sticking their vaults, it pumped me up and inspired me to do really well," said Zamarripa. "Just being in Pauley and having a home crowd, every time we stuck our landing, the whole arena exploded. That rotation was inspiring."
After spending the fifth rotation on a bye before bars, UCLA finished with a 49.175 team score on bars in the final rotation to secure its spot in the Super Six finals. DeJesus had the team's top score on the event with a 9.90. Francis, Monique De La Torre and Zamarripa each posted a 9.825, and Courtney's 9.80 gave the Bruins enough to advance.
"We did great," said UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field. "We did phenomenally well. It felt like the Super Six from the moment we found out who was in our session. We knew we couldn't hold anything back. We put in some athletes who were really beat up, but if they hit, it would score half a tenth better. We had to take that chance. We had to leave it all on the floor tonight, and I'm thrilled we did."
Zamarippa, Courtney, Wong, and Baer qualified for event finals on vault. Francis qualified on beam, and Courtney qualified on floor.

Ever since "Twisted" began, fans have been wondering what really happened when Danny was arrested for murder when he was just a kid. He always said he didn't do it, but couldn't reveal why. Last week, viewers finally found out the truth and it was completely unexpected. Unfortunately for Danny, this time he really did murder someone... his own father. So what is going to happen next? On Feb. 24, Gossip & Gab revealed spoilers for "Twisted" season 2, episode 14.
The episode is titled "Home is Where the Hurt Is" and the synopsis reads,
"With the Homecoming dance quickly approaching, tension mounts between Danny and Lacey as Danny wonders if he can ever get over recent events. When Jo realizes cute but nerdy Andie has a crush on Rico, she gives her friend the nudge he needs to make the first move. Danny recognizes a familiar face in town and makes a mysterious connection to his time in juvenile hall. Meanwhile, Jack (guest star Ivan Sergei) moves in on a conflicted Karen, and Tess finds it increasingly difficult to hide her secrets from Kyle."
It sounds like there is going to be a lot happening on the upcoming episode. It isn't surprising that Danny is struggling with recent events. Murdering someone, even though it wasn't intentional and was the result of protecting someone isn't something that can be forgotten, especially when it is your own father.
As for the familiar face in town, that would be Charlie, the guy who keeps running into Lacey. Even though she and Danny have a romantic connection and Jo finally gave her the blessing to go ahead with the relationship, it won't be all roses. Lacey has been flirting with Charlie and Danny is keeping a huge, dark secret from her. Could this have something to do with Charlie? If so, what could it be and why is Charlie in town?
A sneak peek on YouTube reveals that Charlie does not have good intentions. The narrator says that an enemy from Danny's past is back, determined to ruin his future one person at a time. Towards the end Lacey and Charlie are talking and he doesn't look very friendly. He actually has a mean sneer on his face and Lacey looks very uncomfortable, with her eyes scanning the room, as if she is looking around for a way out.
There is also the question of why Tess kept Vikram's secret and never told anyone that he wasn't dead. Did he have something on her or perhaps she was loyal because she was in love with him? Perhaps he promised her something and that is why she kept quiet.
"Twisted" season 2, episode 14 will air on Feb. 25.

The Columbus Crew were, finally, mathematically, eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday night after losing 3-2 on the road to the New England Revolution. Even that result was made irrelevant, however, after the Chicago Fire defeated Toronto 1-0 later in the evening - doubly insuring that Columbus would miss the postseason for the second consecutive year.
Needing a victory and favorable results elsewhere (and the same again next weekend) the team fielded an attacking - if injury-riddled - lineup in Foxboro. Federico Higuain was unable to play because of a hip contusion suffered against Kansas City. Tony Tchani deputized for the Argentine playmaker in midfield, with Bernardo Anor and Ethan Finlay on the flanks in front of Wil Trapp.
Columbus started with immediate pressure, producing a cross from the channel in the opening minute of play. In the sixth minute, Dominic Oduro ran onto a loose ball in the penalty area after Bernardo Anor was tackled by Jose Goncalves, but his shot was blocked.
The Revolution weathered the early storm, however, and won all of the corner kicks through the first half. The home team nearly took the lead in the 11th minute as Chris Tierney curled a free kick into the penalty area that Matt Lampson missed. The ensuing corner kick was also spilled by the former Ohio State goalkeeper, but Bernardo Anor was on the post to clear the danger.
New England scored first after half an hour. A.J. Soares got a glancing header to a Kelyn Rowe free kick, sending the ball just under the crossbar and past a flailing Lampson.
Trailing at the half, interim coach Brian Bliss sent on Aaron Schoenfeld at the break to replace Ethan Finlay. The change paid dividends almost immediately, as Schoenfeld was able to fill the need for a large target forward for the support runs of Arrieta and Oduro.
It was just this sort of sequence that produced the Crew's first goal in the 59th minute. Schoenfeld, with his back to goal in a crowd of defenders, received a pass from midfield and touched laterally to Dominic Oduro. Oduro took a controlling touch before blasting a shot over Matt Reis and into the roof of the net.
New England reclaimed their advantage ten minutes later after an ill-advised Tony Tchani tackle gifted the home team a penalty kick. Chris Tierney stepped to the spot and converted, shooting just past Lampson's outstretched hands.
The seesaw continued in the 72nd minute. Again it was Schoenfeld in the mix, this time with a goal of his own - his first as a professional. After Arrieta and Oduro were involved in the build up, Oduro poked the ball to Schoenfeld in tight space in the area. The second-year forward turned to his left and curled a delicate shot into the upper corner of the goal.
Columbus celebrations were short-lived, however. Moments after Arrieta and Oduro missed connections on a Crew attack, New England pressed the right side of the defense before passing across the goal for an unmarked Diego Fagundez at the back post.
The Crew had one last chance to equalize in the closing minutes, but Justin Meram's cross from the left end line was punched by Reis and Schoenfeld was unable to turn the loose ball on frame.
What it means
Columbus will miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Even had the Crew won, the result would not have been enough, however, as Chicago's victory later on Saturday also would have eliminated the team. New England is still in the playoff hunt, but will need to defeat the Crew next weekend in Columbus and hope for favorable results of their own.
In franchise history, the Crew has only missed the postseason seven times in 18 years. Their longest drought was from 2005-07, spanning the tenures of Greg Andrulis and Sigi Schmid.
Up next
The Crew will play their final competitive game of 2013 next Sunday against New England.

A "Dear Daddy in Seat 16C" letter has gone viral this week, as word of a goodhearted man helping a young girl with autism aboard a plane ride inspired the child's mother to write him the heartfelt letter via an online blog post. Calling him a true gift, the mother highlighted how considerate and patient he was. After the kind businessman played with the woman's energetic child for over two-and-a-half hours and made a true connection with the young girl, Shannell Mouland decided to share his goodness with the world. Yahoo! Shine News tells this warm story this Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014.
The "Dear Daddy in Seat 16C" note first came about on the ride home from Disney World with Shannell Mouland and her family flying back to Philadelphia. Mouland's husband and their three-year-old daughter, Kate (who has autism), were sitting in two nearby seats. Mouland was understandably anxious — her daughter's mood could be rather temperamental at times, with her behavior switching from loving to frenzied in a moment, so having a seatmate that was both compassionate and tolerant was vital.
The mother had no reason to be worried, however, as the businessman that soon sat down turned out to be a loving father himself, and shared that kindness with the young Kate Mouland beside him.
She penned an open letter with the sweet title, "Dear Daddy in Seat 16C," and decided to upload it online this Thursday to her popular blog, "Go Team Kate." It turned out to be quite a gift in itself. Reception was positive and immediate, and soon the touching post went absolutely viral.
"I watched the entire Temple basketball team board the plane, and wondered if one of these giants might sit by Kate. They all moved toward the back. She would have liked that … I watched many Grandmotherly women board and hoped for one to take the seat but they walked on by. For a fleeting moment I thought we might have a free seat beside us, and then you walked up and sat down with your briefcase and your important documents and I had a vision of Kate pouring her water all over your multi-million-dollar contracts, or house deeds, or whatever it was you held. The moment you sat down, Kate started to rub your arm. Your jacket was soft and she liked the feel of it. You smiled at her and she said: 'Hi, Daddy, that's my mom.' Then she had you."
Mouland went on to write in the heartfelt letter how the man truly went out of his way to accommodate their autistic girl's needs, and what a difference he made in the young girl's life (and her own) in just a short plane ride.
"Any time we go out in public, we have to plan for anything because Kate has sensory issues and when she's overwhelmed, her behavior may be unpredictable," Mouland revealed. "Most people warm up to Kate, but interacting with her can be off-putting for those that don't understand autism. But you were different. You made a difference."
The letter to "daddy" in the airplane seat was in fact addressed to a Mr. Eric Kunkel, a married father and businessman hailing from New Jersey. He enjoyed a friendly conversation with Kate about her dogs, her fun time in Disney world, and even allowed Kate to play games on his iPad.
"I travel a lot for work, and Kate was, by far, the most well-behaved kid I've sat next to," Kunkel added in his own statement after hearing of the "Dear Daddy in Seat 16C" posting. "Shanell is also an incredible parent — she didn't apologize for Kate and she shouldn't have — but she was very attentive to her."
Even when 3-year-old Kate began to get upset towards the end of the flight when she had to remove her seatbelt, Kunkel helped avert her attention by playing with her toys.
"Thank you for letting us go ahead of you," wrote Mouland. "She was feeling overwhelmed and escaping the plane and a big, long hug was all she needed. So, thank you. Thank you for not making me repeat those awful apologetic sentences that I so often say in public. Thank you for entertaining Kate so much that she had her most successful plane ride, yet. And, thank you for putting your papers away and playing turtles with our girl."

Tourism at the 13 national parks in Texas add significant dollars to the state's economy. The National Park Service (NPS) reports that 3,939,160 people visited Texas national parks in 2012. Those visitors spent $188.1 million and supported 2,592 jobs in the state.
"From Big Bend to Padre Island National Seashore, the national parks of Texas attract millions of visitors a year from across the country and around the world," said Sue Masica, director of the NPS's Intermountain Region, which includes Texas and seven other states.
The 13 national parks of Texas include: Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks; Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument; Chamizal National Memorial; Fort Davis and Palo Alto Battlefield national historic sites; Lyndon B. Johnson and San Antonio Missions national historical sites; Padre Island National Seashore; Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River; Big Thicket National Preserve, and Amistad and Lake Meredith national recreation areas.
"Whether park visitors are out for an afternoon, on a school field trip or taking a long family vacation, they come for a great experience -- and they end up spending a little money along the way, too. This report confirms that national park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service. This reality makes parks tourism an important factor in the Texas economy as well. It's a result we all can support," Masica says.
On a national level the report shows $14.7 billion of direct spending by 283 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally -- with 201,000 of those jobs in these park "gateway" communities -- and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion.
According to the report, most visitor spending supports jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent), hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 percent), and other amusement and recreation (20 percent).
The National Park Service works with communities in the Texas to help preserve local history, conserve the environment, and provide outdoor recreation.

Spice Girls, Tom Brady, Reese Witherspoon and the Napa Valley
It's no secret the Napa Valley is seen as a desirable vacation spot for many, including high-profile business people and major celebrities. Between the wine, plethora of fine dining options, luxury resorts and top-notch spas, there's apparently a lot to be desired in our little valley.
By reading the press today related to the Napa Valley, you'd think it had become Hollywood North.
A story published by Bloomberg opens with this:
The blue-collar workers in Napa Valley's Yountville have been knocked off their bar stools, replaced by the likes of Super Bowl quarterbacks Tom Brady and Eli Manning, Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison and actress Reese Witherspoon sitting in fine restaurants.
The article goes on to talk about the top-rated restaurants and outline the many celeb sightings in the town of Yountville in recent months, a list that also includes Tyra Banks and Robin Quivers from The Howard Stern Show. The story also includes the typical quotes from long-time Yountville residents who lament the changes and the seemingly sudden discovery of their little town.
A separate article published in The Mirror has details on a "multi-million-pound wedding" that will reportedly be a three-day ceremony in the Napa Valley sometime near the end of May. Apparently Simon Fuller, who is credited with creating the Spice Girls, will wed his long-term girlfriend Natalie Swanston. Here's an excerpt:
A source said: "Simon is a very private man, but after dating Natalie for a few years he has finally popped the question. Money is no object so it's going to be one hell of a party."

Remembering Norm Van Lier
Posted by Neil Paine on March 2, 2009
Sad news arrived out of Chicago last week, when we learned that Bulls legend Norm Van Lier had passed away at the age of 61. In his memory, today I thought I'd talk a little about what made Van Lier a special player.
There's no question that Van Lier's calling card was his awesome defense. Although he was only 6'1", he was quite strong and possessed a lot of what we might call "mental toughness" (they called it plain old "moxie" back then). Even in an era where guards were allowed to handcheck and bump opponents on the perimeter, the fiesty Van Lier was considered a particularly physical player; he used that hard-nosed style to rack up steals on 2.5% of opponents' possessions (a rate of nearly 2 a game), and along with Jerry Sloan he spearheaded the Dick Motta-coached Bulls to what was the NBA's 2nd-best defense from 1973-74 to 76-77. In recognition of his great defensive skills, Van Lier was named to either 1st- or 2nd-team All-Defense in 8 consecutive years (1971-1978), and for his career he ranks 19th all-time in defensive rating with 97.7. Let all of that sink in for a second... it's a very impressive defensive resume, isn't it?
Needless to say, it takes a great work ethic and an unselfish attitude to become the kind of defensive wizard that Van Lier was, and that team-first mindset bled over into his offensive game as well. NVL wasn't a premier shooter or scorer by any means -- his career FG% was just .414 (part of a lifetime .476 TS%), he averaged only 12.1 career P/36, and his offensive rating, normalized to the 2008-09 scoring environment, was just 106.5 on 18.3% of team possessions while on the floor. But one thing you could say about Van Lier on offense is that he was a savvy floor leader who loved to set up teammates for scoring chances. Van Lier ranked in the NBA's top five in assist rate every season from 1971 to '76, and was also top-10 in '77 & '78; he actually led the league in total assists and assists per game in 1970-71. It was just another testament to the altruistic brand of basketball Norm Van Lier played during his prime years.
Much like his fellow top defensive PG of the 1970s, Walt Frazier, Van Lier would retire in 1979 and move into a second career as a broadcaster; NVL covered the Bulls on television for nearly 20 years in the 1990s and 2000s. While his position as the Bulls' best-ever defensive guard was eventually usurped by Michael Jordan (whose teams also represented Chicago's best run since Van Lier's heyday), he remained an icon in Chi-town because of his toughness, his blue-collar work ethic, and his ongoing connection with the community even long after his playing days were over. The raw boxscore numbers may not reflect Van Lier's full impact as a player, but in the wake of the bad news this past week, we should take a little time to remember his important contributions both as a player and as a human being.

The injury problems continue to get worse for the Los Angeles Lakers with Nick Young going down with a knee injury on Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After undergoing an MRI following the win over the Cavs, Young was diagnosed with a non-displaced left knee fracture and a bone bruise on Feb. 6 according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN:
The Lakers announce Nick Young is out a minimum of two weeks with a non-displaced fracture of the patella in his L knee and a bone bruise.
Along with Young now being on the shelf for the next two weeks, Jodie Meeks is also out due to an ankle sprain. Meeks will miss the rest of the road trip while Young could be out for a considerable amount of time due to the fact that he'll be re-evaluated in two weeks rather than returning to the floor.
Losing Young for two weeks or more is a major blow for this team that coming off their first win in eight games. Young has been one of the best players on the current squad for the Lakers averaging a team-high 16.9 points per game.
With Young on the shelf, the Lakers currently have Meeks, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol all out with injuries.
Needless to say, things aren't getting much easier for this team that simply can't stay healthy this season.

2012 has seen some fantastic interviews on the blog. For this round, we sat down with Max Pearl, whose excellent mix you can check here. We got deep on this one...
Percussion Lab: You're 23, solidly in like, the 3rd or 4th wave of electronic music's post-rave popularity in the US. How did you get into music in general, and then how did you find yourself drawn to dance music in particular?
Max Pearl: I was trained as a concert pianist and singer. I sang in a childrens' choir with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for four years. I went to band camp for classical voice training—I sang Italian and German arias for six hours a day at a sort of fascist compound in the Middle of Nowhere, Maine. I got kicked out twice. They let me back in after the first time. I think it's because I skipped out on my training to play Magic: The Gathering whenever possible. I once sang in a Benjamin Britton opera at Carnegie Hall during my brief career as a child star soprano—I know it sounds ridiculous. When I was, like, 12 I did performances with Nathan Lane, Yo-Yo Ma, Bruce Springsteen and I appear with a choir on one of Celine Dion's albums. I forget which one. After that I spent two summers studying Jazz guitar in high school at Berklee College in Boston, and around Junior year of high school I got into noise music and electronics and started playing in a pretty awesome thrash / improv. / power violence band called Funbrain. We were fucking sick—a lot of basement shows, a couple small venues in Boston and Cambridge, the International Noise Conference at MIT in 2007, and at the Institute of Contemporary Art in South Boston. We were really into Wolf Eyes and Hair Police and I think we were trying to be something like a combination of Melt Banana and Lightning Bolt.
I came to dance music from this taste for the really hardcore stuff—/Rupture's CDs Gold Teeth Theif and Low Income Tomorrowland were the first DJ mixtapes I ever heard, some time around 2006, and at that time he was blending breakcore and jungle with hard dancehall and gangsta rap as well as Arabic and North African shit. Him and Filastine and Maga Bo really got me interested in the creative potential that comes with blending genres and regional styles—at that time the whole concept of multi-genre, multi-regional irreverent mixing was still kind of shocking and novel.
Around the same time I became obsessed with The Bug's album, Pressure, and that got me to look deeper into contemporary dancehall coming from Jamaica and London and New York City. In 2007 I got a mix CD called Grime Wave mixed by DJ Semtex that instantly fucked my whole world up and got me into UK Grime, and when dubstep came to my attention with Dubstep Allstars: Volume 4 everything sort of locked into place. So it really started with all of this manic, aggressive, and in some cases pretty violent shit—Kid 606, Dev/Null, Bong-Ra—and then I got old and now I listen to boring deep house because I'm old.
PL: How influential are contemporary/radio rnb and commerical hip hop to dj's of your generation? Do you sense that these reference points influence contemporary dj'ing/production, and if so, how does that contrast with 'classic' dance music and its influences?
MP: I mean, I think all signs point to the breakdown of this distinction between 'commercial' and 'underground.' Now more than ever, coolhunters and dataminers can quickly co-opt styles from the global underground and drag them into the marketplace, but this exchange isn't unidirectional. For Djs and producers in the underground, pop music styles are up for grabs too, and it's pretty clear that—maybe unlike previous generations of counterculture—people my age don't feel that their integrity is at stake when they decide to experiment with commercial or corporate aesthetics. That US vs. THEM dynamic doesn't seem as important, and if anything there's this sort of weird ironic relationship to pop and R&B that kind of pisses me off. I see these LA white boys who think it's fucking hilarious to drop a T.I. & Young Jeezy track in the middle of their mixtape, with this kind of self-congratulating smirk because they'd be embarrassed to fully commit to really loving this pop R&B shit. That's what irony sometimes does—it allows you to maintain a distance from something you love because you're ashamed of loving it, and it can be really poisonous. [end rant]
PL: What responsibility do new generations have to be familiar with and acknowledge the history of electronic music culture? Given the influences that created various segments of the dance music world, is there a lack of fidelity in the intent as time takes us away from those original impulses (for example, the development of disco as a safe haven for gay culture or of hip hop as a creative force for funneling aggression away from gang violence, etc)? As a dj, do you have a greater level of responsibility than the average punter, or less, or does it not matter?
MP: This is an interesting question and I don't know if I can answer it. Should we be expected to learn the history or the context of the music we love? Is there an ethical responsibility to learn about life in the favelas if we want to DJ jams from the hood in Rio? I think that journalists and middl(wo)men have a responsibility to not be lazy; that much I'm comfortable saying. It's just fact checking, and I think that integrity isn't enforced as much as it maybe was.
With footwork music from Chicago there's so much lazy journalism and misrepresentation—a lot of the originators and pioneers go uncredited because they don't happen to have shiny web presences, and because people like Chrissy Murderbot have the privilege of being able to tour and reach crossover audiences in indie media. So, as a cultural intermediary I think there is an obligation to do your homework, and to give respect to your elders and contemporaries, especially when those people don't have the luxury to take off on tour. I just read a blog post that really pissed me off, wherein this author is talking about how he's overwhelmed by the sheer amount of access he has to music from different places and backgrounds, and he seems pretty content not learning anything about them. He even erroneously attributes Juke music to Detroit which made me see red.
Thanks to the internet, it's easy and requires less commitment to dip your toe into a different corner of the pond and do a little exploration into a world you're not so familiar with, but it's also hard to find good accountable, reliable facts. I imagine that in 1993 if you were into house music and you lived in Boston, you probably had to subscribe to some expensive British magazine to stay up to date, pay a lot on shipping, then go to the record store every week and look at the release sheets and see what just came in. If you wanted to show up at your friend's party and DJ for an hour or two, you needed to get an hour or two worth of records, and you're not going to go buying jungle records if you're trying to brand yourself as a house DJ. It costs—at least now—eleven whole dollars to buy one imported 12" single. Fuck that.
PL: Why/how does jungle remain such a potent influence in dance music?
MP: Couldn't tell you. Perhaps because people are weary with this proliferation of new microgenres that last for about a week—moombahton, #seapunk, shitty hipster footwork—and they want to return to something that has endured for twenty years. They want to slow down and enjoy a little historicity.
PL: What is Cluster Mag, and how does that play a role in your life as a dj/producer?
MP: Cluster Mag is an international magazine of popular culture, art, music and technology. We attempt to engage critically and intellectually with contemporary culture, because we're sick of the lack of journalistic standards in much of the blogosphere, and because we're sick of literary magazines and how white and liberal arts-educated and out-of-touch they are. So we set out to do our own thing, pulling from the tradition of music magazines, literary magazines, and cultural criticism. We wanted Cluster Mag to be hip, relevant and urgent for a wide group of young people that includes all different backgrounds, interests and education levels, and we wanted it to be rigorously edited, thoughtful, and subversive. We also want to call a lot of borders into question, and I think that reflects my approach to DJing.
PL: What are your goals as a musician? Do you hope to make a living in music in some way?
MP: I want to DJ once a week, make a couple hundred bucks, and supplement my freelance work. Those are my aspirations. I would like to make some money from releasing music through my record label Sci-Fi & Fantasy, and I know that will never come from record sales. Nobody buys music. I think there's a small amount of money to be made throwing parties, another thing to supplement my freelance and to generate some capital to keep growing, and I think there's money in licensing music for television and stuff. But I don't have a formula yet. I'm a pretty terrible business man.
PL: Who are some of your favorite New York producers at the moment?
MP: Big up Lil Jabaa, Obey City, Kuhn, Zuzuka Poderosa, Jubilee, Rizzla, Lamin Fofana, Matt Shadetek, Dubbel Dutch, Braille, Lord Raja, Archie Pelago, LE1F, Boody, Arca, Gobby, and my own label artist Max McFerren who is the best producer in NYC right now. PL: What events do you consider a must in New York right now? MP: I love Astro Nautico parties. I love Deep Space at Cielo but the drinks are so fucking expensive. I love TURRBOTAX, especially now that they have their new space. I miss Ghe20G0th1k. PL: We've lived through dubstep, post-dubstep, and juke/footwork; what's the Next Big Thing? MP: Oh, god. NY House from the 90s. Kerri Chandler. Motown. Django Reinhardt. I hope Das Racist gets back together. Happy Holidays! Enjoy Max's mix!
