College Hockey:Oswego downs Plattsburgh, 5-3
Boots nets game winner for Lakers
OSWEGO, N.Y. — Ian Boots, taking advantage of a Plattsburgh turnover, scored the winning goal for Oswego with 1:39 left in the game to defeat their archrival. An empty net goal made the score 5-3 in game where every previous Oswego lead was erased.
"They had a breakdown in their own end," Boots said. "The puck just spit out of the corner. Their goalie bit on my first fake, and I went around him and chipped it in."
"Turning the puck over with one minute left in the game is not acceptable," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said.
"That's what makes a rivalry," Oswego head coach Ed Gosek said. "I told our guys to enjoy it.".
Oswego jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Luke Moodie continued his roll this weekend, scoring the first at 10:13. It started with a Plattsburgh check at the blueline, but it inadvertently opened up space in their own zone. Moodie skated the puck across and let rip a shot from the top of the left face off circle which beat Josh Leis on the glove side.
Oswego buzzed the Cardinals' net after the goal, smacking the crossbar during one attempt. This pressure eventually led to Plattsburgh's first penalty and Oswego's only power goal to make it 2-0 at 14:03. Stephen Mallaro fired a slap shot from the blueline which went wide but bounced off the boards back in front to the left of Leis. Leis never saw it as Andrew Mather banged it home.
"We didn't weather the storm," Emery said. "We got behind early. Every time you play on the road here, you try to weather the storm. I was really concerned."
However, before Oswego had thoughts of a blowout, one penalty turned the tables. On a delayed call for goaltender interference by Dan Bremner, thanks to a new rule, Plattsburgh scored twice 58 seconds apart to tie the game.
The first was on the delayed portion of the penalty when Nick Jensen redirected a shot in front of Beckwith while the teams were skating four aside. The new rule states the penalty is still served, and on the ensuing power play, a 4-on-3, Kyle Kudroch, from off to the right side, banked one off the far post into the net.
"It's ironic the new rule," Gosek said. "We talked about it. They scored the goal on the delayed penalty and then they continued and scored another one. There's something that really changed it around for them."
Before the tying goal, Oswego had an opportunity to get the momentum back when Mather stole the puck and skated in alone. He went straight at Leis, trying the glove side, but Leis caught it.
"How many times do you see that come back at you?" Gosek said. "The old cliché is if you go down and have an opportunity like that, and they come right back at you, and the whole momentum of the game changes."
Although there were some good scoring chances and some quick rushes, the second period played out in a subdued manner as if the players were tuckered out, physically and mentally, from the fast paced first period. The crowd, too, were subdued, too tired to help rally their team.
Oswego's go-ahead goal originally started out as a quick odd man rush starting from their own zone. However, Oswego's passing was off, and the momentum into the zone was lost. The remnants of the failed rush had Tyler Leimbrock racing down the right side with nowhere to go. So, he wound and fired a bullet which, despite Leis coming out to cut down the angle, beat the goaltender.
Shortly afterwards, an Oswego penalty allowed Plattsburgh to tie it on their second power play goal of the night. The change of speed from a deflected shot caught Beckwith off guard. He was unable to handle it, and the rebound was jammed in by Dylan Clarke.
Owen Kelly added an empty netter with 1.5 seconds left after Oswego weathered a lot of pressure from Plattsburgh trying to tie the game.
"I thought we played really well the final 50 minutes of the game," Emery said. "For 59 and a half minutes we kept them to two goals. I'm pretty proud of that. We had some chances to go ahead in the third. I thought we showed good character, but we have to play smarter."
"I thought it was a well played game for early in the year," Gosek said. "We got up early and had a lot of energy. There's no quit in them (Plattsburgh)."
Oswego (6-0 overall, 4-0 in SUNYAC) remains home to face Cortland on Friday and then travels to Utica the next night for a non-conference game.
Plattsburgh (2-2) debuts this season at home, hosting Morrisville Saturday.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – According to new research by Brian Wansink, Ph.D., and Aner Tal, Ph.D., from Cornell University, people may be more likely to buy higher-calorie foods if they are hungry while grocery shopping.
The suggested effect of hunger on grocery store selections is based on results from a laboratory study in which 68 individuals were instructed to not eat for five hours beforehand and were then given various food options, but some participants were given crackers so they were not hungry. In a follow-up study, researchers recorded the grocery purchases of 82 individuals, some of which were told to shop between 4pm and 7pm when they were likely to be hungry. In both studies participants who were hungry while picking out groceries chose higher-calorie products compared to participants who were not hungry.

College Hockey:Maine Overcomes Inconsistency For 5-1 Win Over Northeastern
Dimitrakos, Team 'D' Lead Black Bear Charge
ORONO, Maine — Something had to give. The Northeastern Huskies ventured into Alfond Arena on Friday night burdened by a three-game losing streak. Maine was coming off a disheartening 2-1 overtime loss to Dartmouth last weekend. Both clubs were saddled with scoring difficulties and plagued by inconsistent play.
The Black Bears responded, playing their best game of the season. Maine employed outstanding team defense and capitalized on a four-point night by forward Niko Dimitrakos, including a pair of goals, for a 5-1 victory over the Huntington Hounds.
The win improves the Black Bears overall mark to 6-4-3, 3-1-1 in Hockey East. Northeastern drops to 5-6-1, 2-4-1 respectively.
"This was a real team effort," said Maine head coach Shawn Walsh. "I thought every guy on our team played a really solid game tonight." The Black Bears took an early lead at 3:19 of the first when Dan Kerluke jumped on the rebound of a Dimitrakos wrister and swept the puck past Northeastern goalie Jason Braun (25 saves).
"We talked about getting to the net," said Kerluke. "Niko put it in front and it hit a skate. I just turned and fired in one motion." Kerluke's shot slipped beneath Braun's pads for the 1-0 lead.
The game-winner came at 16:51 of the first, and proved controversial. Maine sophomore Lucas Lawson picked up a loose puck on the right wing boards, rushed the Husky zone and split the defense pair as he fired a backhander on Braun. The NU netminder stopped Lawson's first bid, but Lawson was dragged down and the puck appeared to trickle past Braun off Lawson's body. After a brief conference with his linesmen, referee Jim Fitzgerald allowed the goal and Maine was up, 2-0.
"Obviously, that was a big goal," said Northeastern head coach Bruce Crowder. "But what are you gonna do? He made the call, we just have to deal with the adversity."
Although Maine outshot the Huskies only 12-9 in the period, most of Northeastern's attempts were from the perimeter.
The guys let me see everything," said Maine goalie Matt Yeats, who ran his record to 5-2-1 with a 22 save effort. "I just stayed square (to the puck) and they cleared every rebound."
With Maine on the power play early in the second, Dimitrakos gave the Black Bears some breathing room. Tom Reimann intercepted a clearing attempt at the left point and fired it on net. Dimitrakos, positioned at the edge of the crease, deflected the shot between his legs and Braun's pads.
"I was just trying to get it on net," said Dimitrakos. "It just happened to hit the right spot and I got lucky."
After a Willie Levesque wrister cut the Black Bear lead to 3-1 early in the third, Maine put the game out of reach.
Breaking into the NU zone, 2 on 1, Dimitrakos took a Kerluke feed and cruised through the right circle. "Their goalie is small," said Dimitrakos. "So I figured I'd go high." The junior's wrist shot beat Braun high to the glove side, bouncing off the crossbar as it went in. The goal was Dimitrakos' fifth in four games since returning to the Black Bear lineup from a broken wrist.
UMaine forward Robert Liscak closed out the scoring, whacking home a Dimitrakos centering pass from the low slot at 6:55 of the third.
"I think Niko was looking for Francis (defenseman Nault)," Liscak said. "Francis just got a piece and it came right to me."
To a man, the Black Bears were satisfied with a total team effort.
"We had jump tonight," said forward Gray Shaneberger. "Everyone worked had the whole game. Maine captain A.J. Begg added that "we just played our roles. We did what we were supposed to do. Everyone got involved defensively and that limited their chances."
Crowder concurred, stating "to their credit, they made us play bad."
The win was especially pleasing for Walsh, who was forced to play without Peter Metcalf, Eric Turgeon and Brendan Donovan due to injuries. Additionally, the victory broke a four game winless streak against the Huskies. "With the guys we've got out of the lineup," said Walsh, "this is really encouraging and exciting. We couldn't beat that team last year."
The Maine head coach was already looking ahead to the teams' season finale on Sunday afternoon at Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland. "This win makes Sunday's game important," Walsh said. "Now we've got to see if we can put two and two together in our league."

The North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church has opened a Hispanic center in Canton to provide services to north metro's Hispanic community and beyond. The Mi Familia Center will provide english classes, computer courses, after school programs for children, religious services, and other forms of assistance.
The coordinator of the center, Rev. Dr. Aquiles Martinez, professor of religion at Reinhardt College, hopes that the new center will "offer Christian hospitality to all of God's children by providing them with essential services so they will feel welcome, experience God's love, and be contributing members of their community." Rev. Dr. Ed Tomlinson, superintendent of the UMC's Roswell district, was also present for the opening dedication. Tomlinson thanked Martinez for his leadership and stated that the center was "a place of our dreams in the Atlanta Roswell District."
The center will offer essential services to the large and growing Hispanic community in metro Atlanta. Georgia has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the country. In 2003, it was estimated that about 8% of metro population was Hispanic and the percentage has continued to climb in recent years. Four area counties, Gwinnett, Cobb, Fulton, and Clayton, account for about half of the state's Hispanic population.

Miami Gardens, Fla. -- The New Orleans Saints' offense couldn't hang on to the football, but the defense made up for it by keeping the Miami Dolphins out of the end zone as the Saints trailed 13-7 at halftime. The Dolphins added a Caleb Sturgis 40-yard field goal with less than a minute left in the half.
Third-string quarterback Ryan Griffin mishandled a snap, allowing the Dolphins to pounce on the loose ball in Saints territory. But the Saints stopped the Dolphins on fourth-and-goal to turn it over on downs.
Miami threatened again on the next drive, but cornerback Korey Lindsey intercepted an errant Pat Devlin pass inside the Saints' 5 to halt the drive.
Wide receiver Nick Toon left the game in the second quarter after making a diving catch on a deep pass that was called back because of a Terron Armstead chop-block penalty.

College Hockey:ECAC Hockey picks: Jan. 10-11
Friday, January 10
all games at 7:00
Rensselaer at Princeton
This has the makings of a low-scoring affair: RPI hasn't scored three goals in four games; Princeton, six. That said, the last time the Engineers mustered more than two scores, it was in a 5-2 home win over the Tigers. Princeton hopes the strong defense it exhibited in British Columbia (two goals against in two games) will carry over to NCAA action, but I'm leaning toward RPI in this one. 4-2 'Tute.
Union at Quinnipiac
The Game of the Week pits the first-place Dutchmen – owning the longest unbeaten streak (10 games) in the nation – against Quinnipiac, which leads the country in wins (15, tied with Ferris State). Union hasn't played a game in nearly a month, while QU is already 2-0-2 since Christmas. Will Union's rust give the Bobcats the edge, or will its fresh legs carry the day? One thing to look for: QU and Union lead the conference in third-period scoring (16 and 15, respectively). I'm taking QU on revenge alone, as this one could be a real toss-up. A real entertaining toss-up, but a coin flip nonetheless. 4-3 Bobcats.
Merrimack at Clarkson
I admit, I'm wondering how accurate my post-break analysis of Clarkson will be, though I don't expect the Knights to regress against Merrimack… The Warriors are averaging fewer than two goals a game, and have only managed three or more four times (thrice against Atlantic Hockey opponents). Golden Knights defend Cheel, 4-1.
Massachusetts at Cornell
UMass is a bottom-third team in scoring and team defense, and is 3-10-1 on the road. This is Cornell's only game of the weekend, and Lynah will be rocking as usual. This would be a deflating loss for the Big Red, but not one I'm predicting. 4-2 Red.
Saturday, January 11
Union at Princeton 4:00
Despite the marquee matchup on Friday, I don't see Union letting down its guard enough to be caught by surprise in the Garden State. 3-1 Dutch.
Boston College at Brown 5:00
Much respect to BC for scheduling this meeting, as Bruno has had a hard time drawing major programs to Providence for a while now. Hopefully Brown and coach Brendan Whittet's anywhere, anytime mentality has begun earning enough respect among his colleagues that we will see more of these visits from other top teams in the future. That said, BC is the favorite, and Bruno will have all it can handle at Meehan on Saturday. 4-1 Eagles.
Dartmouth vs New Hampshire 5:00 Verizon Wireless Arena; Manchester, N.H.
Dartmouth just beat BU on the road… yet has only three wins on the season. A sign of a turnaround, or simply a dead-cat bounce? (I've always loved that phrase.) Until the Green start establishing some kind of offensive or defensive trend, I'll have a hard time looking past their record… Wildcats, 4-3.
Rensselaer at Quinnipiac 7:00
I'm picking the Bobcats in this one – I'll give that away up front – but if RPI hopes to finish the season resembling even a shadow of their preseason expectations (yes, I am aware that Jason Kasdorf is a big missing piece), the Engineers have to start winning now. QU, 4-2.
Merrimack at Clarkson 7:00
Why would my predictions change with the day? These teams do not strike me as inhabiting the same plateau… 'Tech, 3-1.
Vermont at Colgate 7:00
Time to see what the Raiders are made of. Vermont is Colgate's first opponent since it's stunning Mariucci Classic championship, and the Catamounts are no walkover. The Cats are 8-1-2 since mid-November, including wins over St. Lawrence (twice) and Clarkson and ties against Yale and Dartmouth. Colgate is 3-7 at home this year, and 1-5 against out-of-conference visitors. Time to put up or shut up. 3-2 Catamounts, tentatively.
Yale vs Harvard 8:00 Madison Square Garden; New York, N.Y.
Bright, Ingalls, MSG or the moon, Yale is the better team than Harvard. The Crimson scored a goalie-assisted (shots were 54-27 Yale) draw in New Haven in the first week of December, and frankly, Harvard's only impressive win this season (5-7-3) was a 6-3 win over horrendously streaky New Hampshire… in which the Crimson were out-shot 36-21. Bulldogs 4-2.

This week, Amanda checks in to tell us about the first week of school, life in the dorms, and the buzz of the Olympic Trials.
I have officially completed my first week of freshman year as a Duck up here in Eugene, Oregon. To be honest, I cannot believe that only seven days have gone by. Each day of our first week was packed full with a multitude of activities and meetings.
Last Monday we met with our academic advisor, Jennie, at 8:30 a.m., and received our schedules for the summer term. Then she walked us to our first class, because we honestly would never have found it, even though it is about two minutes from our dorm rooms.
Upon entering the classroom, all of the nerves that I was having dissipated as the three of us, Jasmin, Darriel and I, slid into our seats next to the incoming freshmen basketball and football players. Knowing that there are other people in the same exact situation is a comforting feeling. Anyway, the class we take every morning from 9-11 a.m., is International Studies 250. For this class, we have a paper due everyday, and two papers to complete over the weekend. It may seem like a pretty heavy work load, and don't worry, it is.
Then on Mondays and Wednesdays we have a Library class where we learn how to gather research from the library's resources and compile the information into a research paper. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we have an Academic Success class, where we learn study skills that will help us for our International Studies papers and final. These classes last until 12:30 p.m. or so, at which point we go to the building for academic services for student athletes and attend study hall. They feed us some pretty delicious sandwiches before we start breaking down into our small discussion groups to analyze the readings we do for our International Studies class. We have to read ahead, so that if a paper is due Wednesday, we have to read that chapter on Monday so that we can discuss it on Tuesday in study hall.
With weights and conditioning in the morning, optional conditioning in the afternoon and open gyms twice a week, it is really essential that I manage my time so that I will be able to read the chapters. I make sure I find time to do so because the discussions at study hall are very helpful in clarifying the issues presented in the chapters.
Last week we got our physicals done in the spiffy new treatment center, met with the journalist from the newspaper, met with the director of the media guide, met with the nutritionist, and received our Oregon gear for the summer. Let me tell you, I slept really well on those dorm beds every night last week. And since we got all of the meetings out of the way last week, that means we have the afternoons pretty much to ourselves for the rest of the month.
So far we've taken advantage of the Olympic Trials being about 100 yards from our dorm room window. In fact, we can see the jumbo TV screen from our desks, and we are able to watch the races as they happen. It's pretty awesome. But it will be interesting to see how it quiets down again after all those people leave. As for now, we are enjoying the noise that is buzzing around campus and waking up each day to a new life that is filled with nothing but excitement.
Oregon's 2008-09 home opener is set for Tuesday, Nov. 18, when the Pacific Tigers visit Mac Court.

Secrets of Success
Tired & Happy
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Update: All the goals I set last week I MET!! I am in shock! I don't know where this motivation is coming from but I am using it for all its worth! I am doing it alone (Sis has had a lot going on) but that's OK! Hopefully I can motivate her like she's motived me and we can keep each other going.
This week got off to a crazy start. My boss has a close family member who is on their deathbed so she had to leave the country unexpectedly yesterday morning which means me pulling more hours at work. Good for the wallet but it also leaves less time to get done everything I need to at home. She won't be back for a few weeks so I'm taking this as my new schedule for awhile.
5am workouts have turned more into 5:30-5:40ish workouts which will have to end starting tomorrow (hopefully). The beginner program is about 20-30 minutes, intermediate (you repeat the segments twice) is 30-40 minutes, and advanced (you repeat the segments three times) is from 40-60 minutes which means I definitely need to be up by 5am. Yowza! I've been getting to sleep about 10:30 but I really need to get focused and try to be in bed by 9:30. My problem is what happened last night...
L asked me if I would go to the gym with him and since I am trying to add a few more cardio sessions into my week I thought why not. OMG did it wear me out! I stopped after 30 minutes because I started getting really dizzy and feeling strange but I am proud that I did it! I haven't done two workouts in one day in FOREVER! I'm going to try to do it again tomorrow but tonight I'm going to take it easy with a light walk. ;)
So that's pretty much what's up with me. My eats this weekend were AWFUL but yesterday I hit my goals for the first time since I started back on my plan!
This has totally motivated me today though I have been fighting cravings like no other today!
One last thing...
Thank you to each and every one of you that has been leaving such kind comments on my blogs and page. I couldn't be doing what I'm doing without your support. Thank you!!

Jason Way and Micha Coleman ended their careers in winning fashion and nearly left their coach in tears.
Talk about a tough act to follow.
The two seniors on the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind boys basketball team combined for 25 points in their final game, leading the Dragons to a 40-27 win over Pierson-Taylor in their season finale. FSDB isn't in a district, so Wednesday's game marked the end of several players' prep careers.
They did so by leading the Dragons to back-to-back winning seasons, the first time in nearly two decades that FSDB has turned in consecutive seasons above .500. The Dragons ended this year with a 12-7 mark and a second-place finish in last week's Mason-Dixon tournament. FSDB went 11-10 last season.
For FSDB coach Rick Roberts, seeing Way and Coleman play their final games was bittersweet. He's coached the pair through recreation, middle school and high school basketball, all beginning in fifth grade.
"Those are two quality young men; I'm going to miss them greatly," Roberts said. "It was senior night tonight, and the old voice broke, almost. I love them very much. It's sad to see them go. They set a good example for us."
Way and Coleman have started on the FSDB varsity team since their freshman years. Way has averaged a double-double in points and rebounds each season. Coleman has contributed in every category. Against Pierson-Taylor, Coleman led with 14 points and Way added 11.
Girls basketball
Bartram Trail had three players score in double figures and rode its depth into the District 3-5A semifinals with a 61-56 win over Terry Parker.
The Bears got 14 points from Molly Manning and 11 points apiece from Brittany Sorensen and Katherine Rybinski to move within a game of locking up a state playoff berth.
Jamie Haugen also added nine points for 13-11 Bartram, which will face First Coast at 7:30 p.m. Friday for a spot in the postseason.

Needed: 122,000 jobs per month
As union delegates from around the country prepare to head to the AFL-CIO's 2009 convention in Pittsburgh Sept. 13, they bring a determination to fight for an economy that works for the great majority of Americans.
Workers face big challenges, economists warn
As union delegates from around the country prepare to head to the AFL-CIO's 2009 convention in Pittsburgh Sept. 13, they bring a determination to fight for an economy that works for the great majority of Americans.
Elected officials join fight for NUMMI's future
"I was thinking I'd like to go work at the plant, with him," Shaheem Broughton said, glancing toward his father, when a reporter asked him what he'd like to do after high school. "Now I may have to look somewhere else."
Secretary Solis: End economic injustice, workplace abuse
Through eight years of the right-wing Bush administration, the secretary of labor helped lead the administration's war against organized labor. The only time the labor secretary interacted with labor leaders was to threaten and scold. So it was a breath of fresh air to hear new Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis give a Labor Day address here September 2.
The grim state of young workers
This week the AFL-CIO released a hefty 44-page report on the state of America's young workers. Its autumnal publication date was no doubt purposeful—this isn't light summer reading.
Two Labor Day wishes
If two big things could happen this fall we'd have a shot at re-creating the middle class society workers enjoyed in the past.
Labor-led alliance pressures Wal-Mart for change
Unveiling a new "American values agenda" this week, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union launched a new coalition of labor unions, worker advocacy groups, environmental groups, faith-based communities and consumer protection organizations to "hold Wal-Mart accountable to its workers, our communities and the planet."
'Young workers: A lost decade'
Something bad happened in the past 10 years to young workers in this country: Since 1999, more of them now have lower-paying jobs, if they can get a job at all; health care is a rare luxury and retirement security is something for their parents, not them. In fact, many—younger than 35—still live at home with their parents because they can't afford to be on their own.
These are the findings of a new report, "Young Workers: A Lost Decade." Conducted in July 2009 by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the AFL-CIO and our community affiliate Working America, the nationwide survey of 1,156 people follows up on a similar survey the AFL-CIO conducted in 1999. The deterioration of young workers' economic situation in those 10 years is alarming.
Nate Scherer, 31, is among today's young workers. Scherer lives in Columbus, Ohio, where he shares a home with his wife, his parents, brother and his partner. He spoke at a media conference at the AFL-CIO today to discuss the report.
After getting married, my wife and I decided to move in with my parents to pay off our bills. We could afford to live on our own but we'd never be able to get out of debt. We have school loans to pay off, too. We'd like to have children, but we just can't manage the expense of it right now…so we're putting it off till we're in a better place. My [work] position is on the edge, and I feel like if my company were to cut back, my position would be one of the first to go.
During today's press briefing, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka summed up the report's findings this way:
We're calling the report "A Lost Decade" because we're seeing 10 years of opportunity lost as young workers across the board are struggling to keep their heads above water and often not succeeding. They've put off adulthood—put off having kids, put off education—and a full 34 percent of workers under 35 live with their parents for financial reasons.
Just last week we learned that about 1.7 million fewer teenagers and young adults were employed in July than a year before, hitting a record low of 51.4 percent.
As AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said:
Young workers in particular must be given the tools to lead the next generation to prosperity. The national survey we're releasing today shows just how broken our economy is for our young people…and what's at stake if we don't fix it.
Some of the report's key findings include:
* 31 percent of young workers report being uninsured, up from 24 percent 10 years ago, and 79 percent of the uninsured say they don't have coverage because they can't afford it or their employer does not offer it.
* Strikingly, one in three young workers are currently living at home with their parents.
* Only 31 percent say they make enough money to cover their bills and put some money aside—22 percentage points fewer than in 1999—while 24 percent cannot even pay their monthly bills.
* A third cannot pay their bills and seven in 10 do not have enough saved to cover two months of living expenses.
* 37 percent have put off education or professional development because they can't afford it.
* When asked who is most responsible for the country's economic woes, close to 50 percent of young workers place the blame on Wall Street and banks or corporate CEOs. And young workers say greed by corporations and CEOs is the factor most to blame for in the current financial downturn.
* By a 22-point margin, young workers favor expanding public investment over reducing the budget deficit. Young workers rank conservative economic approaches such as reducing taxes, government spending and regulation on business among the five lowest of 16 long-term priorities for Congress and the president.
* Thirty-five percent say they voted for the first time in 2008, and nearly three-quarters now keep tabs on government and public affairs, even when there's not an election going on.
* The majority of young workers and nearly 70 percent of first-time voters are confident that Obama will take the country in the right direction.
Trumka, who is running for AFL-CIO president without announced opposition at our convention later this month, is making union outreach to young people a top priority. He said one of the report's conclusions is especially striking:
Young people want to be involved but they're rarely asked. Their priorities are even more progressive than the priorities of the older generation of working people, yet they aren't engaged by co-workers or friends to get involved in the economic debate.
Currently, 18-to-35-year-olds make up a quarter of union membership. And at the AFL-CIO Convention, we will ask Convention delegates to approve plans for broad recruitment of young workers, as well as plans for training and leadership of young workers who are currently union members. And that's just the beginning of a broad push towards talking and mobilizing young workers in the coming months and years.
According to the report, more than half of young workers say employees are more successful getting problems resolved as a group rather than as individuals, and employees who have a union are better off than employees in similar jobs who do not.
Obama to address AFL-CIO convention
President Obama will speak at the AFL-CIO Convention in Pittsburgh on Sept. 15, the White House announced yesterday.
The speech will once again dramatize the new relationship between the labor movement and the Oval Office, following as it does, private meetings, bill signings and other ceremonies to which the president has invited many of the nation's top labor leaders.

Small class sizes and one-on one instruction with Chinese language faculty make this program perfect for vastly improving your language skills. You will study at the IES Abroad Beijing Center, located on the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) campus, and follow a campus-wide language pledge to maximize language learning.
After you are admitted, refer to the Travel Dates section of the Predeparture Information in your MyIESabroad account before booking travel.
Students in the program will complete 8 credits of Chinese language. Each week, you will engage in 12 hours of classroom instruction and 4 hours of private tutorials with Chinese language faculty. Chinese language courses are offered from beginning through advanced levels.
You can also take a 2-credit elective course, Understanding China.
Please note - Additional upper-level language courses will be made available for advanced students.
This is a list of planned course offerings. After you are accepted, you will see a list of final course offerings in your MyIESabroad account.
IES Abroad Beijing organizes course-related excursions that complement what you're learning in the classroom, and contribute to your general knowledge of Chinese culture and society.
We want to make sure that your greatest challenge is deciding which landmarks to see first or discovering the best café—not finding a place to live where you feel comfortable. We do our best to locate housing that is reflective of how the local students are living. Our goal is that when you leave Beijing, it will feel like home.
You will live in a double-occupancy, air-conditioned room in an international dorm on BFSU's campus. Depending on availability and sequencing of the Chinese academic calendar, you may have the opportunity to live with a Chinese roommate from BFSU or get partnered with an IES Abroad roommate. You are responsible for your own meals.
Part of making you feel at home in Beijing is doing our best to help you feel safe and cared for. Whether it's the orientation program that prepares you for what's ahead, your housing that is well-located and comfortable, or the field trips that take you to places off the beaten path—we're all about our student services. This is just one of the things we're known for.
Upon arrival, IES Abroad provides you with a four-day orientation full of information about Beijing and Chinese culture, as well as basic language instruction. Native Chinese residents help you adjust to the city and make the most of living in China. Additional noteworthy activities include a welcome banquet, "Discover Beijing" scavenger hunt, "Chinese Food 101", and a session on navigating Chinese culture.
Past activites have included:
Some activities may offer you the opportunity to meet Chinese students.
To complement classroom instruction, IES Abroad Beijing arranges a three-day mobile learning field trip led by language instructors and Center staff to Xi'an to see China's world famous Terracotta Warriors. In addition, there will be also an optional overnight trip to the Great Wall and various other weekend excursions and cultural events offered.
Optional Tibet Field Trip
An optional post-semester 8-10-day trip to Tibet is offered to all IES Beijing students. IES staff and a team of professional Tibetan guides will take you from the markets and temples of Lhasa to high mountain passes and camping by the shores of alpine lakes. We will visit sites including the Potala Palace, once the home of the Dalai Lamas; Jokhang Temple, the holiest site in Tibetan Buddhism; and the Sera Monastery where we will watch the monks participate in their daily debate ritual. Lodging will be in local hostels or sometimes camping in tents under the stars. Most meals and all local transportation is provided. Contact IES staff for information on pricing and schedule. The itinerary is subject to change or cancellation depending upon the political situation in Tibet.
NOTE: IES Abroad field trip destinations, activities, and length of stay may vary according to term and availability.
About the Center

After a week of gathering names and putting together a wish list which would be inclined to accept an offer as Boston College's next football coach, BC Director of Athletics Brad Bates will focus on Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco if he can't convince Miami coach Al Golden to consider what could be more than a 5-year $10 million offer to take over the BC football program.
The interview –which could come as early as Monday–with Diaco was first reported by Eagleaction. com and later confirmed by sources at BC and Notre Dame..
California AD Sandy Barbour also has expressed an interest in Diaco and Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi.
If all goes well, Diaco could very well move to the final stage of meeting with BC President Father William Leahy.
Since Bates has a committment in New York on Tuesday, Monday would seem most likely time frame.. Diaco has East coast connections, growing up in New Jersey. He was named as a Jerseyguy of the Week last month before ND's game against Boston College and was listed as a prime candidate for a FBS head coaching job.
Published reports have also listed Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan in the mix at BC as well. Sullivan came to Tampa Bay from Tom Coughlin's staff with the New York Giants, thus the BC connection. He joined Greg Schiano's staff this season. The main concern about Sullivan is that he has not been associated with college football since 2001, which Bates said was a factor, but hardly a deal breaker when discussing NFL assistants as candidates.
Diaco will listen, but will he take an offer if one is made? According to sources in the MAC and at Notre Dame, Barbour, who is looking for a coach to replace Jeff Tedford, reportedly flew to Chicago over the weekend and met with not only Diaco, but Kent State coach Darrell Hazell and Narduzzi as well.
Diaco, with his East Coast roots, would seem to be more inclined to Boston College than California if an offer is tendered even though any job in the Pac-12 is regarded as a prime job.
If Bates can close the deal, BC could have its next coach in place by Wednesday or Thursday.
No matter what Bates does, he will be fighting a constantly moving clock as decisions are made and candidates are removed from the mix.
Bates will make a final push on Golden and then move to the next level, which would appear to have Diaco at the top of that list.
The plan, however, is to have some one in place by the end of the week at the latest.

Ghanaian movie directors ask Tonto Dikeh to apologize to Van Vicker
As a result of the reported fall-out between Van Vicker and Tonto Dikeh, Ghanaian movie directors have demanded that Tonto Dikeh apologize to Van Vicker or she should forget participating in any movie in Ghana.
According to a Ghana-based celebrity blog, Van Vicker is a highly respected person in Ghanaian movie industry and they will not tolerate such insolence from any artiste either from home or abroad.
"Can she insult RMD like that" one movie director asked?
They have promised to sanction any movie director that features Tonto in his/her movie, and will formally write Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to express their displeasure.
No words yet from Tonto Dikeh on whether she will humbly accede to the request or call their bluff.

Will 4-to-an-Inside Cabin Cruisers Get Room Envy?
May 11, 2012 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
We're big fans of group cruising. Pick the right ship and you can easily accommodate wildly disparate tastes for seven nights. But some of reviewer of the week live2vayk 's choices had us a little worried. She was sailing on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas as part of a four-family, 16-passenger crew — only her quartet was sardined in an inside cabin, while the other units enjoyed balcony digs. Was she setting her family up for a case of cabin envy? The self-described cheapskate wasn't worried. Check out her insightful review on group cruising. For her efforts, live2vayk — along with the four other R.O.W., LOP, billandjean, betsy23 and shortiboop20

text: This is an excellent recipe for company when you want to present something interesting, but not too exotic or extremely spicy. Nice flavors. I did add some chipotle pepper powder because I thought it would blend nicely, which it did. I also waited to add the sweet potato until the chicken had cooked for 15 minutes or so, since the first time I made this the sweet potato disintegrated because it was done before everything else.

Durability -- Hardness 6.5 to 7.5.
Crystal structure -- orthorhombic.
Specific Gravity -- 3.13-3.17.
Sources -- Brazil is the primary source. Gems are usually under 5 carats; stones over 10 carats are quite rare. An opaque variety of andalusite known as chiastolite is often cut in cross section to reveal a black cross on a gray background.

Forum set on financial scamsMarch 26,2013BENNINGTON Officials with the Vermont attorney generals office and AARP are going to be hosting a forum in Bennington to warn senior citizens and others about the dangers of financial scams.
AARP Vermont Communications Director David Reville said the Thursday event at the Bennington Museum will be the first his organization and its partners have hosted in some time. And the last such event was held in northern Vermont.
One lottery scam that has been targeting people in Northern New England involves people being contacted by scammers claiming the need to pay a fee before they collect a lottery prize.
Reville told the Bennington Banner that its hard to judge how many people are affected by the crimes because they are under-reported. He says many victims are embarrassed over being tricked.MORE IN Vermont NewsMany Vermont dairy farms are experiencing a tough summer, receiving very low prices for their...

As the dust settles on Theros block and everyone is gearing up for the Journey into Nyx prerelease, the lean and hungry Magic rumor community is, as always, not sated for long with a complete set spoiler and is already looking ahead to the future. Since the next block is still technically an unknown quantity in the absence of an official announcement (clues and apparent leaks of copyright information notwithstanding, we still can't say for certain whether it's Warlords of Khanar or Khans of Tarkir or what have you in a Central Asian steppe world) there's a lot of speculation about what Huey is going to be like.
And Mark Rosewater has told us on his Tumblr blog when we're going to hear about it for the first time, and it's unusually late. When miracle-falcon asked, "When might we be getting anything official about Huey?" he replied:
We will make the first announcement about it the Sunday of Pro Tour Journey Into Nyx.
This means May 18, according to the Pro Tour Journey into Nyx page on the mothership. When pressed for an explanation, Mark gave an understandable reason: Overlap. He told bonsequitur on his blog, "We've decided that we want to announce it at a time where we're not actively previewing a different set."
