Where are we now... inventory (54 looking at 55)
Monday, August 06, 2012
"... are you in some hotel room, does it have a view?...." Joni Mitchell quotes are never far from my consciousness, no matter how long it's been since I've heard them or thought about them. Hmm.
But that has nothing to do with the blog.
Where am I now? Update. Note to self and you my comrades in Sparkville.
Spark lights from the inside
Changes are made gradually, gently and BOLDly, with determination... clarity
Celebrating 165lbs and holding steady. Wow! Yes.
And needing/wanting to make progress in other life areas so long neglected.
"the wreckage of my past" (12-step vernacular). Inventory of sorts.
Employment/Accomplishments - uhhh nope. Resume, yes. Career, no. Hireability at 54 and after...? Scarey. Scared. MUST ENGAGE NOW.
Self-Expression/Creativity - helping others, yes. Me, no. Stopped up. Why? Dunno. Is it okay? Dunno. Start-stop with voice groups and jazz classes... the repeated challenges I run away from... dunno.
Status/Money/Management - What is reasonably possible. I keep postponing. Procrastination. 54 yrs old. Better reach for reasonable now instead of fantasizing. I am fortunate to be doing as well as I am yet it won't sustain inflation or aging... so must PLAN, set GOALS, take STEPS,
Making Decisions -
Stepping through F E A R better
Focusing on ME and not others - enmeshment and enabling, deferrment.
(I esp get distracted when I focus on helping/fixing Joe and it's another habit to break -- a carryover from trying to fix the parents to meet my needs, fix/help the friend/lover to be more loveable and to meet my needs?). Ugh psycho babble. Dreck.
54 years old.
I want celebrate something next July at 55.
PLACE HOME -- Must Move
Must remember to ONLY ACCEPT clean, safe upgraded wd and ac
(I have a tendency to keep considering lesser things that will hold me down)
Reaching for what you want and is reasonable.
Not just what is right there, or what in one's distorted self esteem (low or inflated)
Fat Girl thinking --
Dating - I lowered my standards (or didn't have any, really) because it was slim pickings of who would have me.
Work - Don't fit the picture, so why try? Lazy? I don't know why I didn't reach.
Artist Fantasy and day jobs met Boho getting by lifestyle, which met Midlife higher pay grade and more responsbilitiy but no identity or real engagement in it.
Hey... P... That doesn't mean it couldn't NOW.
Cinderella you ain't
Joe wants us to move to California near his family. (Central Coast is crazy expensive)
With the right opportunities (work, enigmatically affordable and lovely place to live) I could imagine being happy doing that. Yet those IFs just mentioned are rare and not present at the moment.

Last minute three-pointer lifts Rebels over Raiders in a lead swapping battle on Friday night
Despite an early lead in this Red Rock Conference showdown, Murray County Central earns a 61-60 victory over the Fulda Raiders.
MCC"S Jack Thony took control of the game initially knocking down short jumpers as well as long range shots. Thony scored 16 of the Rebel's 38 first half points.
Fulda climbed back into the game with early steals by Zach Holt and Nate Getting for layups. Todd Peterson added 8 points including a three-pointer to advance Fulda to a 18-9 lead with 11 minutes left to play in the first half.
The Rebels took an aggressive approach by taking the ball to hoop along with grabbing offensive board (10 in the first half) to put themselves up, 31-26 with 4:30 on the clock.
Fulda was able to claw their way back, despite their sloppy play, and managed a 6 point deficit by halftime.
The second half started out much like the end of the first half with Fulda down by as much as 15 points early on.
Fulda finally settled down and earned some defensive stops and held MCC scoreless for nearly five minutes etching their way back into the game.
By the five minute mark left to go in the game, the Raiders had managed to pull within four points, 53-49.
"Trevor Ruesch was very instrumental in the second half comeback as we attacked the basket," said head coach Colby Pack. Ruesch had a season high 16 points in the contest.
Todd Peterson (8 second half points) was able to lift the Raiders back on top. Murray County Central returned down court and missed a three point attempt. Peter was able to haul i in the rebound and was fouled.
After making one of two free throws to put Fulda up by two, MCC drove the floor, passed to the post who kicked the ball out to Thony waiting on the perimeter. Despite being contested, Thony nailed the three pointer with three seconds left to play in the game giving the Rebels the one point lead, 61-60 and went to the free throw line to make it a four-point play. Thony missed the free throw and Fulda quickly called a time out to set up the long inbounds play.
The ball was thrown up the sideline and knocked out of bounds with just a couple of tenths of a second coming off the clock. In a last ditch effort, Andy Oakland lofted a shot from the corner, however, fell off the mark.
MCC finished with the one point win, 61-60 which moved them to 2-3 on the season while Fulda goes to 2-2.
Peterson led the Raider scoring effort dropping in 21 points in the contest including three treys beyond the arc, 3 of 3 from inside the paint and was 6 of 8 from the charity stripe.

Hospitality pure For a frequent traveller there are some features that make the difference. Leave aside that I expect a clean room and a functioning bathroom with white towels which is all there, it is the emotional part. That is exeptional in this house. You feel like home there. The owners have a big heart for people and animals and one feels that. They accommodated to all our wishes. The place is beautifully located with a terrace and an exceptional view where we had dinner. Food was simple but delicious accompanied by a very nice Brunello. My 5 stars rate the warmth and 'feel good' factor of the place. It's not fancy but it's pure and authentic.

We arrived with overcast skies and a slight rain. It didn't dappen the warmth of Il Canto del Sole. My husband and two daughters (age 17 and 21)and I arrived after 3 and 1/2 days of massive sight-seeing. What a relief to "kick-back" and enjoy a wonderful afternoon into evening of pure bliss. Luciano and Laura truly made their home OUR home. We dined with our own bread, cheese, and sausages while drinking some fine Brunello in their dining room. Suddenly, we had a hot plate of tasty pasta to complete the meal. Unexpected pleasure followed by unexpected sweet pastries. The rooms, location, food, owners -- all first class. Poor weather could never dampen the experience -- Il Canto del Sole simply shines! (Ask about the thermal hot springs in the area -- great suggestion for experiencing the best of Tuscany!) We WILL return!!!!

We had 3 great nights at Il Canto Del Sole. What an amazing location. The rooms are fantastic, with a communal breakfast area and lounge area. The property is large and even though there were all rooms full, you never really felt over-crowded. We had the home cooked dinner one night and boy oh boy was it plentiful and delicious. Laura does a great job and you can taste her love for cooking! Laura and Luciano were very helpful and we would definitely come back to their little piece of paradise. It's a short drive out of Siena, and easily accessible to Florence by car. If I had to recommend anything for improvement - maybe some flyscreens on the windows so you can open up the rooms without the bugs and also, something to soften the mattresses - seemed to be a common theme amongst some of the guests during our stay. With that said, I wouldn't want to take anything away from a venue that is just perfect!! Ha soggiornato in Ottobre 2012, viaggiato in coppia -Tripadvisor-

Se volete rilassarvi questo e il posto adatto. Il canto del sole é un agriturismo in cui si fondono l'elemento naturale con quello umano. Il calore e l'amicizia tipica dei senesi,inoltre,caratterizzano un posto ameno e incantato. Ha soggiornato in Novembre 2012

Rising junior Mia Schachter will represent the Green Wave at the 2014 Phillips 66 National Championships, where she will compete in the 100 breaststroke.
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane University Swimming & Diving program will be represented among the nation's elite as rising junior Mia Schachter will participate in the 2014 Phillips 66 National Championships from Aug. 6-10 at the William Woollett, Jr., Aquatic Center in Irvine, Calif.
A native of Arroyo Grande, Calif., and a 2012 graduate of Arroyo Grande High School, Schachter will compete in the 100-meter breaststroke, which is slated to take place on Saturday, Aug. 9, at approximately 8:45 a.m. (CDT). This 2014 Phillips 66 National Championship will serve as the USA National Team selection for the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships, 2014 Jr. Pan Pacific Championships, 2015 World Championships, 2015 World University Games and 2015 Pan American Games.
"We are happy to have Mia swimming at Nationals, the highest qualifying meet of the season," Tulane head coach Katie Robinson said. "She will be swimming against our nation's fastest swimmers of all ages, including many Olympians. This experience is incredibly valuable and I believe it will give Mia confidence in our upcoming 2014-15 collegiate season. I'm a big believer in facing tough competition to sharpen skills, focus and overall training. Mia thrives in highly-competitive environments and we look forward to seeing what she can do."
As a sophomore during the 2013-14 collegiate season, Schachter swam in eight of the nine team meets and went on to claim the Conference USA title in the 50 free and third-team All C-USA honors in the 100 breast with respective school-record times of 22.90 and 1:00.90. She also earned third-team all-conference recognition in the 100 free with a mark of 50.05 and added career-best times of 50.02 in the 100 free during the preliminaries at the league meet, 56.05 in the 100 fly in the preliminaries at the Phill Hansel Invitational and 2:25.40 in the 200 breast vs UALR.
Along the way, Schachter posted 15 top three individual performances, including wins in the 100 breast at the Hansel Invite and at West Florida (Oct. 11), the 50 free and 200 breast vs UALR, and the 100 free vs Vanderbilt (Nov. 2). She also had second-place showings in the 100 breast vs Vanderbilt and at San Diego State, the 50 free at Phill Hansel Invitational and the 100 free at both the Hansel Invite (Nov. 23) and at LSU (Oct. 25) while coming in third in the 100 breast at LSU and 100 breast at San Diego State.
In relay action, Schachter helped set a Tulane record in the 400 medley relay, which clocked a 3:42.93 at the C-USA Championship to earn third-team all-league honors, and added third-team All C-USA honors in the 200 free with an overall time of 1:33.95. She was also instrumental in helping the relay units post 10 top three finishes, including a win in the 200 medley vs UALR, second-place showings in the 200 free vs UALR and Vanderbilt, the 200 medley vs Vanderbilt and the 400 free at San Diego State, third-place performances in the 200 free and 400 medley at LSU, and tying for third in the 200 medley at West Florida
For her career, the two-year letterwinner holds Tulane individual records in the 100 breast and 50 free, as previously mentioned, while ranking second in the Green Wave annals in the 100 free, fourth in 100 fly and fifth in 200 breast .

College Hockey:Fredonia will challenge Geneseo this season for third
After a poor 2008-9 campaign, Fredonia bounced back with a strong season, only to be bounced out of the playoffs by upstart Morrisville.
"It was good to get things back on track," Fredonia coach Jeff Meredith said. "Disappointing shadow over the season with the way it ended."
The fight for third place this year will be extremely close between the Blue Devils and Geneseo. Geneseo may have the goaltending advantage, but Fredonia has an extremely strong senior class to fall back on.
Empty Lockers: Fredonia does lose Jeff Aonso and James Muscatello, as well as goaltender Pat Street, but overall they won't suffer as much as other teams, thanks to a strong returning corps.
The Core: "If you look at the senior class this year, that's been our most talented class since they were freshmen," Meredith said.
That senior class consists of last year's top scorer for the team (Jordon Oye), as well as the third (Alex Morton) and fourth (Steve Rizer) scoring leaders. The senior class also consists of defenseman Chris de Bruyn.
Their second best scorer, Bryan Ross, returns as a junior.
"I really liked last year's freshmen class a lot," Meredith said. "We had a ton of potential in that freshmen class."
Back after strong rookie seasons are Mat Hehr, Brett Mueller, Mitch Kulikoski, Will McLaughlin, Marc Deeley, Brad Nunn, and Chris Jung. Expect McLaughlin and Jung to play even more significant roles this year. Also, don't be surprised if John O'Connor, who only played five games last year, gets a lot more ice time. His hard work over the summer has so far landed him on the third line.
New Gear: It's a small freshmen class this season. Keep an eye on Alex Perkins, who will start playing on the top two lines. Andrew Christ is a big, strong banger. New goalies come in to challenge junior Kody Van Rentergem, who for now has the starting position by default.
Key Question: If Fredonia can match up with Geneseo in goaltending, they can repeat third place in the league. If not, they will have to settle for fourth place.
"Kody Van Rentergem returns," Meredith said. "We brought in two freshmen that we're looking to compete. Last year, our goaltending was hit or miss, inconsistent. That's one thing we've been fortunate about — we've always had very good goaltending."
Mark Your Calendar Game: February 4 at Geneseo.
This will be the second time these teams meet in the season, and it could well decide which team finishes in third place.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer." ~Paul in his second letter to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:15-17)
We live in a world filled with the chattering voices from all walks of life. Everyone has an opinion, and in today's society it is increasingly easy to share. Social media has created a forum allowing words and ideas to go viral in a matter of moments. The trouble is, far too many fail to heed the responsibility that comes with it.
As a writer I carefully consider the tremendous power of words, knowing they can build up, tear down, ignite passion or stifle. When I was much younger I had a bit of a poison pen, often failing to consider the impact words might have in longevity. It's difficult to take back things that have been spoken or written in the moments of youthful thinking. Although I have always endeavored to present truth, the nuances of presentation have often escaped me. When writing it can be difficult to generate a precise message where voice inflection would do so if speaking. I can add italics or bold type for emphasis, but the message can still be misinterpreted.
For this very reason I find it enormously important to be wise and discerning when presenting biblical truth. I want to be ever careful that it is God's word that comes through clearly. Prefacing statements with the words "in my opinion" hopefully gives reader's insight into how I think about something or how it has affected my thinking. The overall message I want to remain is God's truth.
That is why it is ever important for me to spend significant time quietly seeking His face, reading His word and praying. There are numerous good Bible studies and wonderful teachers, but my favorite times are when I take my Bible, my concordance and my journal and ask God to teach me His truth. I love James 1:5 where it tells me "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." My Father in heaven has been gracious in teaching me.
I write today to encourage any of you who may read this to be careful. Consider wisely what you read, what you speak and what you write. More than anything cautiously filter everything through God's word. I am confident in doing so you will know the truth.
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ~ Jesus in John 8:31,32

Cancer is a frightening diagnosis that can strike at any time. Among men, the most common type of cancer is skin cancer and it's also quite common among women as well. But the second most common type of cancer among men is prostate cancer and it's a disease that can be more effectively treated if men remember to get regular screenings. Houston area Flying Saucer Draught Emporium locations want to bring awareness to prostate cancer and they have a weekly event in support of the cause. Here are the facts:
Event: Pints for Prostates
Location: Flying Saucer Draught Emporium in both Sugar Land and Houston
Date and Time: Each Wednesday, starting June 4, 2014 and continuing through July 2, 2014, at 7 p.m.
Pints for Prostates is a non- profit organization that aims to "reach men through the universal language of beer" and it is teaming up with Flying Saucer Draught Emporium to raise awareness of prostate cancer. As mentioned above, the chance for successful victory over this often deadly form of cancer is magnified when the cancer is detected early. Pints for Prostates wants to help spread the word through education and Flying Saucer is ready to assist with this important cause.
As part of the fund raising effort, Flying Saucer will feature different German beers or American craft beers brewed in a classic German style at each event. When the clock strikes 7 p.m. at each location, 144 people will get a special glass filled with the featured beer for a low price. Proceeds from the sale of the glass will go directly to support Pints for Prostates. In addition, each glass will include a raffle ticket to enter a drawing for a beer tour in Germany, scheduled for October 9 through October 19, 2014.
Prostate cancer is common among men but this form of cancer and other forms can be more effectively treated with early detection. Screening is key, so come out to either the Sugar Land Flying Saucer or the Houston Flying Sauce each Wednesday through July 2, 2014 and show your support for prostate glands everywhere.

Consonantly Speaking's Favorite iPad Apps to Use in Speech-Language Therapy Sessions 2012 Edition: Part 1
Many speech-language pathologists and other professionals have asked me questions like, "What's on your iPad?" and "Which iPad applications do you recommend?". I am quite the iPad addict and our school is full of iPads for our students and teachers to use. So, I am always talking about apps. In this post, I am going to give you a look at my iPad, how I organize my applications, and what my favorites in each category are. I am not going to go into detail about each and every app, but just show a screen-shot of my apps and state my favorite in each of the following categories and more!:
- SLP Tools
- Articulation Apps
- Apraxia of Speech Apps
- Fluency/Voice/Hearing Apps
- Syntax Apps
- Grammar Apps
- Story Creation Apps
Before I begin the long list, I want to write a disclaimer here. I do not believe that applications or software of any sort are a "cure" for speech and language disorders or that they should be used as the sole-treatment method. One should not use a speech and language application for therapy purposes without consulting with a speech-language pathologist or other qualified professional first whether it be for speech-language skill practice at home or therapy. Some applications should be used solely under the observation of the speech-language pathologist or other qualified professional. Applications and software for therapy purposes should be used as tools/materials for the speech-language pathologist to assist in remediation of communication disorders after reading information on how to use the application and appropriately use it under evidence based practice. Not many applications have been researched for use with people who have speech-language disorders and others are "based on" research but have not been researched themselves.

text: You will be informed of any health and immigration requirements when you apply for your visa. Wheaton College further requires, as a condition of enrollment, that all students have a Medical History and Health Evaluation Form completed by a physician and submitted to the College Health Service. You must comply with certain immunization requirements. If you do not do this before leaving home, you must be examined by a physician at your own expense after you arrive. Medical care in the U.S. is very expensive. There is no national medical or health care service to help defray the high costs of medical treatment. A visit to the hospital emergency room can cost thousands of dollars. A visit to the doctor's office is usually over $100. Health insurance is purchased to provide partial assistance in paying for medical care, but it usually does not cover all expenses. Although health insurance may seem to be an additional, unnecessary expense, the following sample of various doctor and hospital expenses should help to convince you otherwise. Physician charges: Initial visit to physician's office $25-50 Additional visits for same illness $15-25 for each additional visit Hospital charges: Emergency room/outpatient clinic visit $20-200 depending on seriousness of your case Surgeon's fee/other specialists can be several thousand dollars Daily bed rate: a. semi-private (2 or more persons) $250-350 per day b. private room $375-450 per day 4. Operating room charged for the time you use the room: $150 minimum 5. Anesthesia charges 30% of the surgeon's fee 6. Maternity and childbirth can be more that $3000 You will also be billed for ancillary charges such as laboratory services, x-rays, blood work, and medications. The costs of a one-week stay in the hospital can therefore run into thousands of dollars. If you have coverage in your home country, it usually does not provide adequate benefits to meet the high costs of medical treatment in the U.S. Therefore, all international students along with their spouse and children who are residing with them in the U.S. are required to purchase the Wheaton College Student Health Insurance Plan. Student Health Services The College plan provides benefits for illness, injury and chronic (ongoing) medical conditions that may require treatment by a doctor or hospital. The student is also responsible for paying for a portion of the medical expenses that are not covered by the health insurance. An outline of the Wheaton College Student Health Insurance Plan and the costs of the insurance may be accessed under Student Health Insurance in the Student Health Services website. All international students and their spouses may use the Wheaton College Health Center for medical treatment that is less expensive than going to an off-campus clinic. The Health Center is not able to treat children, but you may contact them for referrals to an off-campus physician in the area. Health Center nurses are available for consultation at no charge. There is a charge if testing is necessary and for medications that may be given. The Health Center also has physicians available in the clinic by appointment only. There is a fee to see a Health Center physician, and additional charges may apply if testing or medication is necessary. Doctors are only available for appointments during the school term. There are no doctors in the clinic during holidays or the summer months. Visit Student Health Services.

When I was in college, I drank two eight-cup pots of coffee more days than not. This was scaled back to one ten-cup pot of coffee per day my first few years of teaching in the 70s.
In 1979, a doctor told me I had to quit drinking coffee – cold turkey, no less – because it was not good for my health. Where was all the research about coffee being good for you which we now have when I needed it most?
While I have not yet resumed my prior level of coffee consumption, I do enjoy a cup of coffee, or two, occasionally. After reading the article in the September 15, 2014 issue of First for women magazine about the three ways coffee helps speed weight loss, I can see daily coffee consumption on the horizon. Here's why.
Coffee speeds weight loss by:
Boosting metabolism – Coffee's caffeine activates the body's process of burning calories for heat (thermogenesis), helping to raise metabolism by 11%, according to research cited in a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. This effect helped subjects who sipped one daily cup of coffee burn an extra 150 calories daily – enough to effortlessly shed 16 pounds a year.
Dialing down appetite – Drinking a cup of coffee first thing in the morning can curb hunger and reduce craving-stimulating blood sugar by 50% - and the effects last the entire day, report researchers from the USDA.
Optimizing liver function – Coffee contains polyphenols that promote healing and regeneration of liver cells and improve its ability to convert fat into usable fuel. Swiss researchers found that a daily dose of coffee can increase fat burn by as much as 29%.

How do I track student progress on a Learning Outcome?
Canvas recently introduced a new page design called the New Canvas User Interface (UI). Depending on your Canvas view, your page design may vary from the images shown in this lesson. However, the functionality and location of the components remain the same.
Outcome performance is recorded in Canvas for each student and her assessed artifacts, which can be any assignment aligned with an outcome. Outcome reports can be accessed by users with adequate permissions: in a course as an instructor, or in a sub-account as an administrator.
Note: You can also view student progress in the Learning Mastery Gradebook.
Select Outcome
Click the name of a specific outcome [1] and then click the outcome title to see student results and artifacts [2].
View Student Progress
Under Outcome Artifacts, you can view the progress of individual students on each artifact (the aligned assessment or activity). You can view the student response details by clicking the name of the assignment [1]. The Check Mark icon [2] signifies the student has received a high enough score to satisfy the outcome threshold value. If you want to view all outcome results for a specific student, click the all outcome results for this student link [3].
Note: Outcome results are tied to level of outcome access. Account outcomes display on the account report, while the sub-account outcomes display on the sub-account report. The only time outcomes would be displayed on both reports is if they are stored in both accounts, such as copying an account outcome to the sub-account level. Outcomes created at the course-level display on the course-level and will not appear on account or sub-account level outcome reports.

Mexican designer, Ricardo Seco, is known for his no-nonsense tailoring and sophisticated garments. In his Men's fashion Show Fall/Winter 2014 collection "Forever" he incorporated 23 looks on Feb. 10. The theme that Seco had chosen for his current creation is the Kennedy era of the 60's.
"I took the A-line silhouette that Jackie liked so much and turned it into a masculine, urban chic style that her son John-John would have worn," the designer told Examiner.com "The Kennedy style is an American style. A lifestyle trend that is relevant today and timeless," he continued.
The all men collection incorporated something that is very popular this year; "Sneaker Chic." All of the models had on New Balance sneakers with vibrant colors. The looks incorporated trench coats, leather jackets, leather shorts and different colored trousers.
The colors chosen by this Latino designer are somewhat usual as they would more likely appear on a Spring stage. However, Seco used Jackie's favorite pastels in shades of baby blue, lilac and pink and combined them with wintery shades of navy, gray and New York's staple - black.
The A-line shape was achieved by putting oversize coats, jacket and sweaters over classically tailored, skinny-cut pants and Bermuda shorts. Fall fabrics included cashmere, wool, leather, suede and cotton.
For street appeal, Seco has collaborated with New Balance and to accessorize his line with sneakers that match colors highlighted in the collection. In fact, other items, such as backpacks, communications gadgets and gizmos, will also be worn or carried by the models in a customized manner. This season Seco has also collaborated with the recycled cashmere company, Greppo, on six different pieces that will be presented at his Fall 2014 show, including a sweater, scarf and leggings.
Sunglasses and handbags were a few of the accessories that were added to accentuate the looks. Floral scarf's were tied around the models shoulders for accent; the soft colors of the floral complimented the pastel colors on the blue and salmon trench coats. The audience filled the seats along runway, which ran in the middle of the floor. The purple and blue lighting reflected along the gothic style architecture. The lighting gave the setting a warm feeling in such a big space.

College Hockey:Late Break: Spartans Pull Away From Wolverines
MSU To Play Miami For Mason Cup
DETROIT — Heading into the final frame, Michigan State clung to a tenuous 2-1 lead over rival Michigan, and with nine of the 12 previous contests between the two having been decided by one goal or less and five of the last seven ending in a draw, it seemed as if this game was destined to come down to the wire.
But Spartans Bryan Lerg — son of Michigan hockey Hall of Famer Dan Lerg — and freshman Tim Crowder scored late goals to propel MSU to a 4-1 victory before 10,478 at Joe Louis Arena.
"We're playing so well as a team, and that's how you win championships," said Lerg.
"I felt we were going to score. As long as we didn't fall back into a shell I thought we'd be okay. With the way we've played these guys in the past, I thought this game could have easily gone to overtime, but I was confident that we would score even if they tied the game," said MSU coach Rick Comley.
Crowder's power-play conversion on a late Jack Johnson frustration penalty gave the Spartans a three-goal margin of victory that marked the largest for either team in 15 contests.
Prior to the backbreaking Lerg tally, Michigan was buzzing in search of an equalizer that seemed just out of reach all night long.
"It looked like we were a little nervous out there," said Michigan captain Andrew Ebbett. "We were working hard in that third period but we didn't have that desperation. I thought we had it back in the second period [but] those two posts take a lot out of your team. We kept going. We had our chances. I think if we had a little bit more desperation right from the start we would have been a little bit better off."
"[W]e couldn't capitalize on our chances," said Wolverines head coach Red Berenson. "We had good chances … in the third period and didn't capitalize on them. Give [Jeff] Lerg credit, and it was just one of those things — pucks knocked out of the air, posts, crossbar. Disappointing."
Brandon Kaleniecki, who has killed the Spartans this year, had the Wolverines' best chance to the tie the game on the tip of his stick, but the alternate captain rang his shot off of the right post.
Much of Michigan's inability to score could be attributed to the play of Jeff Lerg. The CCHA Rookie of the Year stopped 25 of 26 shots, including a game-saver on a two-on-one.
"It was Travis Turnbull chipping it to Tim Miller. I got my head turned really quick. It hit low on the tip of my pad and floated in the air over the side of the net," said Lerg.
Not to be outdone, senior Noah Ruden gave Michigan one of the best performances of his career in net. Although the score may not indicate how strongly Ruden played, he gave the Wolverines a fighting chance to tie the game until the final minutes of the third period.
"Coach always says [that] the goalie's job is to give this team a chance to win, but the bottom line is you have to win," said Ruden. "It might look good if you're here because I kept the team in, but we didn't win get the win so I can't be proud of my efforts because we didn't win. That's the bottom line."
Ebbett gave Michigan the early lead. Chad Kolarik picked up the puck behind the left side net and somehow threaded a pass through a maze of bodies in front. Ebbett received the puck at the bottom of the right circle and beat Jeff Lerg low to the near side.
Coming into Friday, the Wolverines were 14-3-2 when scoring the first goal, but choppy Michigan play in the first period and a hungry MSU squad that was able score four answered goals en route to the victory stymied Michigan's bid to defend the Mason Cup.
"Usually when we get our first goal it's a huge boost for us, but that was definitely one of the worst first periods of the year," said Ebbett.
Just 1:20 after Michigan grabbed the early lead, Crowder drew the Spartans even on the power play. Tape-to-tape passes by Corey Potter and David Booth set up Crowder on the doorstep for the easy putaway.
As the first period came to a close, fourth-liner Zak McClellan gave MSU its first lead of the night with an opportunistic goal. Ruden was slow covering up a rebound of an Ethan Graham shot and McClellan sped in and slid the puck under the sprawling goaltender for the eventual game-winner.
A thrilled McClellan said, "It's a great feeling, you know? I'm on the fourth line, just try to go out there and make some opportunities, but mainly just give the guys on the first three lines a good flow and let them be able to rest, so it's always great, especially in a game like this, when we have a chance to be able to contribute."
He nearly got a second as he fumbled a puck on net that bounced over Ruden's paddle, but a Wolverine defender doubled back to make the save just before the puck trickled over the goal line.
Both teams exchanged power plays in the middle stanza, but neither could muster a goal.
With the loss, Michigan may be in danger of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in 15 seasons. Berenson believes that a victory Saturday will be critical in determining whether or not Michigan makes the field of 16.
"The only thing I can say is that we have to have a good game tomorrow and then when the smoke clears on Sunday we'll see what our situation is. If we don't, I don't know that we deserve anything. We have to focus on tomorrow's game," said Berenson.
Michigan will meet Northern Michigan tomorrow in the third place game at 3:35 p.m., while the top two seeds, Miami and Michigan State, will battle for the Mason Cup. The puck drops at 7:05 Saturday evening.
Comley said that while the Spartans were excited about beating their archrivals, "There was no yelling and screaming.
"We respect who we played tonight and respect who we play tomorrow. I know we just beat them twice, but they were coming off clinching a championship, and on the road, so it's going to be a heck of a championship game," said Comley.

We don't generally devote a ton of webspace on this blog to Russian feminist anarchic punk collectives, because their crossover with American pop culture tends to skew towards the minimal. Yet in the last few weeks, Pussy Riot—a more extreme, more explicitly revolutionary sort of equivalent to American riot grrrl heroes Bikini Kill, have become one of the most discussed musical acts on the planet.
No, it's not because they're joining Drake's Club Paradise II tour, and they're not featured on a track on Justin Bieber's Believe reissue, and Kanye didn't tweet about them (as far as we know). Rather, they've been making headlines for political reasons. A recent impromptu concert of theirs (filmed for the "Punk Prayer" music video, below) in a Russian Orthodox church in Moscow—which included a line about asking the Virgin Mary to "drive Putin away" (Vladimir Putin was then up for re-election as President of Russia)—resulted in the group being arrested for "hooliganism."
The group's arrest, and their further abuse and mistreatment while in detention, resulted in them becoming something of a cause celebre. international pop figures ranging from Madonna to Paul McCartney to the Red Hot Chili Peppers have come out in support of the group, making it an international freedom-of-speech issue.
The trial, which the group protested being given inappropriate time to prepare for, went on for about two and a half weeks, and included "witnesses" who claimed the group "spat in my face, in my soul, in my Lord's soul," while journalists were allegedly refused entry. (The Stranger breaks down the timeline of the group's case in much greater detail.)
Today, the group—which allegedly includes 24-year-old mother Maria Alyokhina, 30-year-old programmer Yekaterina Samutsevich and 22-year-old philosophy student Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, though the group performs anonymously and refuses membership—was found guilty of "premeditated hooliganism performed by organized group of people motivated by religious hatred or hostility," and sentenced to two years in prison. As expected, the group's fans protested the verdict outside.
The band's music is not easily accessible to American audiences—both in figurative terms, in that the music is certainly not geared towards pop audiences, and in literal terms, as Pussy Riot's music is not available on Spotify, not being sold on Amazon, and not particularly easy to find on YouTube. If some record label ever wanted to put out an Anarchy in the (Former) U.S.S.R.: The Best of Pussy Riot compilation, though, now would probably be the time. (At the very least, you can visit their Live Journal page, and contribute to the Free Pussy Riot cause.)

La Plebe
Emanating from the pubs, cantinas, and concert halls of San Francisco California, a bilingual punk quintet known as La Plebe, has kept busy for over nine years now—playing shows relentlessly throughout Mexico, the United States, and Europe (including four tours of the Balkans). With an honest and energetic live show that is often stained by blood, sweat, and many an onstage beer, members of La Plebe speak from experience, proudly reflecting upon memories of swollen lips, bruised arms, the occasional vomit, maybe a tear or two, and even sometimes, a captivating toe-tapper or sing along song to boot….
Augmenting the time-honored punk trio of guitar, bass and drums, La Plebe bump things up a few notches with the musical punch of a two piece horn section, adding power blasts and melody in equal amounts. Drawing upon their Latino roots but with a broad world view, the band's music is as multi-lingual as it is musically diverse—tinged with a traditional ranchero sentiment, based in old school punk rock, with a little old world chutzpah, La Plebe is unique and uncompromising, and one of San Francisco's most popular bands.

Red Rocks Century: you CAN DO it!
Submitted by Katie Macarelli on
Photo: Captive Studios
Red Rocks. Tourists come from all around the world to see this natural phenomenon that's in our own backyard. For cyclists, it's one of those "must-rides". Imagine riding through Red Rocks with a police escort and then rolling up the canyon in a fully supported ride where 100% of the proceeds go to charity? Tempting, right? Read on to find out more about this fantastic ride by the woman who knows it best: ride director, Morgan Landers.
[303 Cycling:] How did you get involved in the Red Rocks Century?
Morgan: I got involved about a month before the ride last year. I used to work in the commercial real-estate community which was heavily involved. I was really interested in the position so I put out some feelers and became the ride director for 2013 about a month before the ride.
[303 Cycling:] Wow. A month before. Was that a challenge?
Morgan: Only in the sense that I needed to get myself up to speed very quickly. But we have a WONDERFUL staff of volunteers that put so much into this ride every year. They were on top of it. It was a pretty seamless transition and that's a huge credit to our volunteers.

[303 Cycling:] Tell us about the Century.
Morgan: This route is perfect for those just coming off The Triple, The Copper Triangle, or any other ride that you've had to put in big training miles. It's the perfect way to cap off your climbing season. It's 10,000 feet of climbing in 100 miles. You "hit the ground climbing", so to speak and keep on climbing up to Evergreen and beyond. On a map, it looks like 1/2 of a clover--2 big loops with a tail. Because we are a small ride, we can take rider feedback and really do something with it. This year we've changed the course to hit Brook Forest first vs last (like 2013). Riders told us that was a bit brutal. We want it to be challenging, but still enjoyable. To give you an idea of the ride, an elite rider will probably finish this in 7-7/12 hours.
[Route description from the website]:
Starting at the Island Lot at Bandimere Speedway, cyclists will pass famous landmarks include Dinosaur Ridge, Red Rocks Park and the historic Brook Forest Inn, as well as the mountain towns of Idledale, Kittridge, Evergreen, and Idaho Springs. Additionally, riders will experience an exhilarating climb up Squaw Pass where the elevation tops out at 11,140 ft. The total elevation gain for this route is approximately 10,000 ft.
[303 Cycling:] There are several distances to choose from, though if you aren't up for that suffer fest. Can you tell us about those?
Morgan: Yes! There's a 62 mile, a 50 mile and a 33 mile ride. All of them have the same start and finish as well as sharing several aide stations. This ride has always had a sense of "community" about it due to the volunteers, the riders and the charities involved. We wanted all the riders to be able to interact, regardless of the distance they choose. People usually don't sign up for these types of rides to ride alone and never see anyone else the whole time.
[303 Cycling:] This is a charity ride. Tell us about the charities represented this year.
Morgan: This year we're working with two very special groups: Hope Communities and Can Do Multiple Sclerosis. Both non-profits empower folks to make positive changes in their lives. Hope Communities is a 33-year old Denver non-profit that provides rental housing and services to low-income families. Hope owns and operates apartment properties in Central, Northeast and East Denver in addition to doing so much more. Can Do MS has also has been around more than 30 years. The founder (Jimmie Heuga), is an Olympic medalist skier and pioneer in the MS care management field. This Avon, CO based non-profit raises money empowerment programs for people with MS and their support partners.
Both go along with the ride and align really well with our overall goals. Often cyclists sign up for these types of rides as a personal challenge. "Can I do this?" is always in the back of our heads whenever we try something new or take on something difficult. We want to be the message that says, "YOU CAN DO THIS". You can do this ride, you can find a place to live, you can thrive with MS. You can. Each of the charities can bring up to 10 riders per day. So look for them out on the course. They will also be there at the start/finish as well to answer any questions and chat.
[303 Cycling:] This ride is "fully supported". Break that down for us a bit.
Morgan: As I've mentioned, we want this to be a successful ride for our cyclists. We've got 7 very well-spaced aide stations. About every 10 miles or so. Areas with big gaps are obviously descents. We've got interim water stations on big climbs--for instance there's one at the base of brook forest, with the aide station at the top. Primal (who does our jerseys) will be there with support vehicles if anyone needs anything away from the aide stations. We really tried to use the feedback from last year. We want to give our riders as many opportunities to make smart choices. We've all had those rides or races where maybe this...didn't happen, or we didn't come prepared. We want to be on top of..."user error". [Editor's note: More on this later...].*
As far as food--we've got a complimentary breakfast from Corner Bakery and back by popular demand, Wahoo's Fish taco's for your after-ride meal. Whole Foods of Denver West is providing electrolytes and water and Core Power will be there to hand you some goodies as you pass the finish line.

[303 Cycling:] Speaking of the "finish line", what will that look like?
Morgan: (laughing) Hopefully like a party! We've worked with the Morrison police department, State Patrol and Jefferson County PD to make this as safe as possible. We'll have volunteers directing you onto the bike path shortly before entering the town of Morrison. The finish will be right across from Cafe Prague in the Red Rocks Cyclery parking lot. The bike path will be decorated. There will be music, food and beer. GREAT beer, in fact from Grist Brewing company. Talk about a wonderful "finisher's prize." Can't beat that. And all in downtown Morrison.
[303 Cycling:] Is there anything else you'd like to say to our audience about this ride?
Morgan: This is a ride for anyone near or far! We always have riders from out-of-state coming to do it. Indiana and Texas, so far (just off the top of my head). For our Coloradoans: you get to ride through so many varying levels of terrain; desert, forest, hills, lakes, and best of all at the end of the day, YOU GET TO SLEEP IN YOUR OWN BED. Sign up today!
*A big thank-you to Morgan and her loyal crew for the interview AND for the free registration to our lucky "Massively ill-prepared Monday winner, Steve Gardner. ;) Cannot wait for the ride...and the beer.

As too often happens, the custody arrangement is NOT explained. We have no idea WHY the sicko daddy and step had access to this child, or HOW MUCH access they have been granted. So obviously, we don't know WHO gave them custody/visitation either.
Nor do we know about the mother. The article has erased her out of existence. Whevever you have a violent father/step, especially when they are suspected of homicide, you must ask what happened to the mother. Is she dead? Under what circumstances? Is she alive? Do we know that for a fact? Has she "disappeared"?
Dad is identified as JUSTIN R. WEBB.
Father and Stepmother Arrested for Child's Death
Posted on: 10:40 am, October 18, 2012, by Michelle Pekarsky, updated on: 04:06pm, October 18, 2012
HOLT, Mo. – Police announced Thursday that they arrested the father and stepmother of a four-year-old boy, who died Monday.
An ambulance was called to the family residence on Monday afternoon for an unresponsive child. Lucas Webb, 4, was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy determined Lucas died from blunt-force trauma to the abdomen.
The Clinton County Sheriff's Department and the Northwest Major Case Squad arrested Justin R. Webb, 34, and Melissa D. Webb, 32, both of Holt.
Both father and stepmother have been charged with the Class A felony of murder in the second degree.
The coroner says the trauma happened to Lucas 12 to 24 hours before he died, and police believe it was Lucas' stepmother who did it.
According to officers, back on August 24, Lucas also said his stomach hurt because his stepmother kicked him while she was mad. The autopsy shows he had prior injuries of fractured and separated ribs that occurred about six to eight weeks ago.
"First they said Clinton County, and then they said Holt and I'm like Oh my God Holt, no way, and then to just find out it's down the street from where I live, that's just, I can't even believe it. I can't," said one neighbor.
Both Webbs are being held on half a million dollars cash bond.

Anna Campoli
Loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother
Mrs. Campoli was born on Jan. 27, 1918, in Waterbury, daughter of the late Sebastiano and Maria (Magnano) Battaglia. She was a graduate of Hopeville Grammar School and Wilby High School and a lifelong parishioner of St. Patrick's Church. Annie worked for The Bristol Company where she supported the war effort and as a switch calibrator at Haydon Switch for more than 25 years until her retirement.

Ever accidentally tasted pine sap? You know, when you were building forts as a kid, went inside for a snack, and started licking your fingers? It's disgusting. This Mugolio Pine Syrup ($28) doesn't taste anything like it. It's made from fresh spring pine cone buds, which have a delicate, bright flavor. Swap it for traditional maple on breakfasts and desserts and experience it for yourself.

She may not always get it exactly right (okay, she never gets it right), but Betty Suarez of Ugly Betty is on to something terribly chic with her multi-patterned outfits. This Homecoming, try a dress that artfully blends two completely different, but totally complementary patterns, or add a cardigan or scarf in a contrasting print to create a custom look that's all your own! --Angel
The key to mixing prints is to have at least one common color in both patterns. Also, large prints look great with small prints.
Here are some ideas to inspire you:
An abstract print with classic paisleys.
Arana Chiffon Dress ($28) and Floral Paisley Wrap in Purple ($15)
Delicate roses with a wild leopard print.
Floral Chiffon Tube Dress ($25) and Parfait Animal Print Cardigan ($118)
Big, bold flowers with a twisted maze pattern.
Turnstone Sweatercoat ($148) and Aida Strapless Floral Chiffon Dress ($25)
