PEORIA, Ill. -- The Bradley men's track and field team was named a United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team, according to an announcement by the USTFCCCA Thursday. The Braves owned the top grade point average in the Missouri Valley Conference and ranked seventh among NCAA Division I men's track and field teams with a 3.37 cumulative grade point average.
Bradley had eight individuals named to the Bradley Athletic Director's Honor Roll following the 2012 Spring semester, including two team members with perfect 4.0 semester GPA's. The Braves were one of just three Missouri Valley Conference men's teams to honor and led the conference with a 3.37 grade point average. Drake (3.28) and Wichita State (3.14) were also among the 85 NCAA Division I men's track and field teams to earn the distinction.
Stanford boasted the top GPA in the nation at 3.49 with Duke in second at 3.46. Tulsa and Chattanooga tied for third in the country at 3.45.
The USTFCCCA honors individuals and teams for their academic and athletic accomplishments during the indoor and outdoor track seasons. Teams must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average to earn All-Academic Team honors.

Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve System was set up in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to regulate the banking and money system in the United States.
Expanded Definition
The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the U.S., with goals including "shall maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates."
The Federal Reserve (aka the Fed) is made up of a Federal Reserve Board of governors (seven members) and 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks.
It is an independent entity within the government -- its decisions do not have to be OK'd by the president or Congress, and the Fed is not funded by Congress. However, board of govenor members are appointed by the president and approved by the Senate, and the Federal Reserve works to further government objectives, i.e. monetary policy.

Barclays Reveals the Size of Top Share Awards
Has Barclays just stirred up the hornet's nest again?
It's handed a dozen of its top executives £32 million ($53.1 million) in shares just a month after irking shareholders by saying it would lift its 2013 bonus pool by 10% despite a 32% fall in underlying pretax profit last year.
It also highlighted how much investment bankers are still prized and compensated at the bank.
To wit: while Chief Executive Antony Jenkins reaped 1.6 million shares worth around £3.8 million from previous year bonuses and other incentive programs, the biggest beneficiaries were U.S. CEO Skip McGee, with an £8.9 million award, and Eric Bommensath, co-head of corporate and investment banking in London, with £8.6 million worth of shares.
Tushar Morzaria, Barclays's finance director who joined from J.P. Morgan in October, received £1.1 million in shares, including stock issued to match unvested awards he gave up when he left the American bank.
Mr. Jenkins hasn't had an annual performance cash bonus for two years but he's still made more than £10 million in salary and shares awarded in the period.
Dominic Rossi, chief investment officer at Fidelity International, a Barclays shareholder, told Sky News last week that he was disappointed with the bank's dividends, which were just one-third of the £2.4 billion paid out in bonuses for the year.
Although there's no breakdown, part of the awards handed out included role-based pay, a new element of compensation banks are using to help address—and effectively sidestep–new European Union rules that limit variable pay to be no more than a banker's fixed pay each year, or twice if shareholders approve.
Barclays said in its annual report that it would make these payments to executives and other key staff to top up their salaries.
While the increase to fixed pay via role-based pay is already decided for most executives, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Morzaria will seek shareholder approval for new compensation structures for 2014 at the annual meeting next month. Contingent on that vote, Mr. Jenkins would collect up to £7.24 million in pay and awards this year, including £1.1 million in salary and £950,000 in role-based pay.
The bank there will seek approval to give code staff–around 1,250 people–up to 200% of their base pay, but it has its work cut out to convince shareholders it's striking the right balance on pay.
The bank didn't break down how the awards announced Tuesday were calculated for each person. The overall pot is a mix of 2013 bonuses, deferred bonuses from previous years, long-term incentive plans and the role-based allowances. For the executives, the stock is now theirs to hold or sell, apart from the proportion already cashed out to cover their immediate tax bills, according to the bank's filing Tuesday.
The value of the shares was based on a stock price of 232.59 pence apiece.
Last year, a set of nine executives, several of whom have now left the bank, received around £40 million in similar awards. Of that, shares worth £17.6 million were collected by Rich Ricci, the former investment banking head who departed in June. Mr. Jenkins's shares in that pay round were worth £5.6 million.
Update: This post has been updated to correct a previous error in the currency conversion. The awards handed out amount to $53.1 million.

Over 1000 people attended the Granite State Brewers Association Summerfest at Arms Park in Manchester yesterday. The event showcased New Hampshire's thriving craft beer scene with 29 local craft brewers represented. This was the first time the event was held in Manchester and the first time the fest was only open to New Hampshire craft brewers.
Brewers ranged from very small, like Tom Albright's one barrel brewing system at Out.Haus Ales from Northwood to large as in Smuttynose Brewing Company that is now distributing its beers in 18 states. All of the beer was brewed in New Hampshire but the availability outside the festival varies depending on a number of factors including quantity and ease of distribution. Much of the beer is available at specialty beer stores that are now scattered throughout the state. In some cases one has to go to the brewer to try the beer on site.
All of the beer was fresh and high quality but there were a few notable standouts. The Schilling Beer Company Erastus was exceptional. This amazing Belgian Tripel is currently only available at the brewery in Littleton. The citrusy Stoneface IPA was a close second. This beer recently came in at number 14 on the Beer Advocate most sought after American IPA's list. Drinkers can sample that beer currently at the Stoneface Brewery tasting room in Newington and on tap at many bars throughout mainly the Seacoast area. The brewers intend to release this exceptional ale in bottles by the end of the summer so it should be available at specialty beer stores like Craft Beer Cellar in Nashua and Portsmouth , Top Shelf Brews in Hampton, and BrewTopia in Keene. The surprise entry at the festival was the creatively hopped Lupulin Suplex Double IPA from Flying Goose Brewery in New London. That was a major league ale. The newly opened Lone Wolf Brewing Company in Wolfeboro also showed up quite well with a high quality Imperial IPA.
The New Hampshire Craft Beer scene continues to grow. In addition to the 29 breweries represented at Summerfest there are a handful more out there that have just opened their doors or are not part of the Granite State Brewers Association. Additionally, there are 13 new craft breweries on the way.
New Hampshire is on its way toward becoming a craft beer destination state on par with neighboring states Vermont and Maine. Craft beer is alive and well in New Hampshire.
Kevin Kervick is an owner operator of Craft Beer Cellar Nashua with his wife Karen and son Brian.
This writer has done a series of television interviews about beer culture and beer community with local entrepreneurs. You can find videos of those shows here.
The working title for Kevin's upcoming book is, Discovering Possibility: The Revolution for Virtue and Common Sense. Kevin offers common sense community building coaching to grass roots groups around the country that are interested in pursuing common sense approaches to community building.

text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH92014 Plaintiff ) CITATION NO: C963303191 NAUMES, INC. ) Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER Pursuant to notice, a hearing was convened and closed on August 6, 1992, in Medford, Oregon, before the undersigned referee. Plaintiff, Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division ("OR OSHA"), was represented by Mr. Norman Kelley, Assistant Attorney General. Defendant, Naumes, Inc., was represented by Mr. Peter Naumes and Mr. Royal Inman. Exhibits 1 through 8, including A and 5A, were received in evidence. ISSUE Whether defendant violated OAR 437-1470-20(1), as set forth in Item 1-1. PRELIMINARY MATTERS At the beginning of the hearing, the parties informed me that OR OSHA was rescinding and withdrawing the alleged violation set forth in Item 2-2. Furthermore, defendant clarified that it was not contesting and admitted to the violation set forth in Item 2-3. FINDINGS OF FACT Defendant owns and operates five farm labor camps. The camp at South Stage Road has a well. The well is the source of drinking water. On August 9, 1991, defendant hired a consultant to test the purity of the water. The test results indicated that the water was not contaminated. Ex. A. On or about August 19, 1991, the camp was occupied by farm workers for the harvest season. An OR OSHA scheduled inspection of the camp's water supply took place on September 12, 1991. The inspection was conducted by OR OSHA Safety Officer, Ms. Garnet Cooke. At the time of the inspection, 33 farm laborers were working at the camp. The sample of water taken by Cooke underwent laboratory analysis by a consultant. The test results indicated bacterial contamination from both coliform and fecal coliform. Ex. 412. After learning that its water was contaminated, defendant promptly remedied the situation. On October 7, 1991, it commissioned another water purity test. The test results revealed that the contamination was no longer present. Ex. 5A. OR OSHA cited defendant on October 24, 1991. Defendant was unaware of the Oregon Administrative Rules set forth in Chapter 437, Division 112. STIPULATIONS 1. Cooke is an expert in Industrial Hygiene. 2. Peter Naumes, if called as a witness, would have testified that: (1) defendant took the prior occupancy water sample and it passed; (2) as soon as defendant was notified by OR OSHA that it had failed the September 12, 1991 water purity test, defendant found the problem and remedied it; and (3) defendant was operating under Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 437, Division 147. It did not have a copy of Division 112, however, and does not see that Division 112 required it to obtain two water sample tests. 3. On or about August 19, 1991, the camp was occupied by farm labor workers for the harvest season. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND OPINIONOAR 437-147-020(1) states: "All domestic water furnished at labor camps shall conform to the required standards for purity as required in OAR, Chapter 437, Division 112, Water and Sanitation, which sets specific limits on the presence of certain substances in water supplies." Likewise, OAR 437-112-020(2) provides: "If the presence of coliform organisms are detected during the bacteriological analysis of a water sample, the water supply from which the sample was taken shall be considered contaminated."Here, there is no dispute that coliform organisms were detected in the September 12, 1991 water samples of defendant's water supply. It, therefore, was contaminated and, in violation of OAR 437-147-020(1), did not conform with the required standards for purity. Defendant argued that it was conscientious and did not act unreasonably. I agree. However, the reasonableness of defendant's actions are not at issue. State of Oregon safety rules require operators of farm labor camps to ensure safe drinking water. Although defendant made reasonable efforts to comply with those rules, it fell short. Its water supply was, in fact, contaminated. A citation and penalty is one of the hazards of doing business. Accordingly, I conclude that defendant violated OAR 437-147-020(1) as set forth in Item 1-1. I further conclude based on the credible and reliable testimony of Cooke, that the violation was serious. Therefore, the $150 penalty was appropriate. ORDER IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Item 1-1 in the October 24, 1991 Citation and the associated $150 penalty, are approved and upheld. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that OROSHA has rescinded and withdrawn the alleged violation set forth in Item 2-2 in the October 24, 1991 Citation. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Item 2-3 in the October 24, 1991 Citation and the associated $75 penalty, are upheld and approved. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition in the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Building, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon. The procedure for such judicial review is prescribed by ORS 183.480 and ORS 183.482. ENTERED at Salem, Oregon, on Sept. 3, 1992 WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD By KIRK SPANGLER, REFEREE

A situation; a request
A recent letter to Christians Together sets out a situation and makes a request. Perhaps you can help; or maybe you are in the same situation.
Ed preface:
The following is an extract from a letter just recently received. It illustrates a situation facing an increasing number of believers.
If anyone can offer some 'sign-posting' then that will be much appreciated. If anyone is in the same situation then please feel free to be in touch. (Confidentiality will be respected.)
Dear Christians Together,
I myself at the moment am churchless.
I am looking for a church that believes what the bible says. Not what they think it says.
Gay marriages and preachers are not what God approves of.
No matter what some people may think it is not in line with what God says in HIS WORD.
I sometimes wonder if some Preachers ever read the Bible???
The church and nation that stands with Israel pleases God
As we are in the end times and many of the prophesies
that Jesus spoke about are happening before our eyes you would think at least the church would see the light..????
So do you know of such a church?
Requests of this kind are becoming much more common: they come not from 'church-hoppers' looking for 'the perfect church' but from committed believers
Thismap roughly outlines the area from which the request comes. While it is generally much better if a believer can find a church in his/her own community there are many who are unable to find a spiritual home where they live.
It is hoped shortly to have an article which tackles the above problem, but meanwhile one of the 'much accessed' articles on Christians Together is the one which outlines some important characteristics of believers meeting together: it is entitled
What to look for in a church'
Any responses in relation to the above request
should be sent to the Editor (
editor<at sign>christianstogether.net
As a 'PS' it is interesting to note that one fairly-new group of believers has its main meeting on a Tuesday.

If I had a bad experience with a chip shop, it wouldn't put me off buying chips from other establishments!! Churches and ministers are not all the same, keep looking, and keep an open mind trusting The Lord to lead you to the right one.
And no, I appreciate that Christianity cannot be compared to chips, but we also need practical illustrations to help us in the spiritual realm.

Interesting letter to the editor. Such a shame that he or she is not finding a church.
I would be interested to know what the responses from Churches and Ministers would be
"Are we in the end times?"
"What are the views of the Minister and his Church on the gay issue"
"What does Israel mean to the Minister and Church?"
Anything else that should be included ?

Questions from 'skyeman' -
""Are we in the end times?"
"What are the views of the Minister and his Church on the gay issue"
"What does Israel mean to the Minister and Church?"
I will (d.v.) address these questions in the next few days.

Looking at the area the request is made for ,i can think of at least ten churches of different denominations that would be more than suitable. They are Christ based and Bible based which churches should be . Many of the ministers toil and strain against much opposition from the world,flesh and devil,to preach Christ and Him crucified. They would ,as i am sure many true believers,would confirm that there is NO perfect church on this earth. One thing about this technological age that we live in is,most churches have websites. You can see truth and error even on the websites. As for meeting on Tuesday,i presume instead of Sunday, i can only scratch my head and wonder why?

The writer of the original request letter manages to get gay issues, zionism and eschatology crammed into a couple of sentences. Reads like a rant before you even get to the end of it.
Almost certainly got psychological issues.
Also, that map covers an area which has probably got the highest number of "evangelical" churches per capita in the whole of Scotland. If the writer is unable to find a church that fits his / her ideas/theology/mindset/prejudices (take your pick...) in there, then something is far wrong.
Unless of course their psychological issue resulted in them having to leave a church. Seen that often enough.
I cant say for certain but I very much doubt that this individual actually belongs to the geographical area depicted.

Just another thought - how would someone who works night-shifts and weekends, ie police,fire-service, nurses, doctors, paramedics,etc go to church on a Sunday if they are working. Should churches not start weekday services purely for those who cannot go. There are churches around the UK that cater for those that work outwith the 9am-5pm routine. So meeting on a Tuesday might actually be beneficial to some.
Seumas, Tobermory. Don't think it is a rant, these are issues that people are actually wanting to know about and to be honest we both know that this letter could be read as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Skye, Lewis etc.

The business of Sunday worship isnt really biblical is it? Correct me if I am wrong but was the business of a Sunday sabbath not established by an ecumenical council, some considerable time after the events of the New Testament?
The early Christians retained a Saturday sabbath didnt they?
To answer Pawlo, I attend Free Church services but I have to say I feel considerable dismay about the direction the FCoS is taking these days. Used to attend the FC in Fort William for a number of years when I lived there.

Seumas - that's somewhat uncalledfor.
Imagine a random unbeliever reading it. He's thinking "see how these Christians love one another.......NOT"

This year, as it's been the case since 1999, the Philadelphia School District administered the PSSAs and the Keystone Exams. The PSSA exam is given to public school students in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11. The Keystone exams are a graduation requirement and considered to be an end-of-course assessment.
The Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) is a type of measuring tool to see if students are proficient in the education standards set by both state and federal governments.
The tests are deemed, at least by the school district, to be extremely important. The parents are now starting to question that importance. In a growing nation-wide trend there were a couple of parents who decided to opt out of the PSSA tests; they basically refused to let their kids take them. In the past, parents could opt out for religious reasons and although the numbers weren't big educators are expecting the numbers to grow.
So why would a parent do something like that?
Perhaps it's because that the tests aren't so much for the students, but for the teachers and the schools; that it is a measuring tool to see if people are doing their jobs. Of course based on information the public already had many feel that they are not doing their jobs or at least not the way they should.
There are many people who believe that this is really the only reason and many teachers and principals are quick to point out that having students do well on the tests is everything to the school district so much so that the teachers are basically teaching the test. These tests are not used to determine whether a child can be promoted to the next grade and colleges don't care about them.
The pressure that the school district puts the schools under can be explained by a very simple acronym: AYP (Advanced Yearly Progress). If the students score well the school makes AYP. If they don't – watch out. Continuing to not make AYP may result in forced teacher transfers (which they hate), removal of principals and, ultimately, either closing the school or turning it into a Renaissance or Charter school.
There are other reasons why these tests, not only in Pennsylvania but other states as well, are important and it has nothing to do with education.
It's about money, but not money for the schools or for enhancing education. It's about people making money and the status quo, but you can just call it The Good Ol' Boy Syndrome.
The Good Ol' Boy Syndrome is when people (but mostly men) show loyalty or favoritism to others with whom they share a common bond with and in this case it's the political parties. It's basically an updated and corrupt version of the status quo.
Confused? You won't be in a minute.
In 2009 the Pennsylvania Department of Education signed a $200 million dollar (taxpayer funded) contract with the Minnesota-based Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) to prepare and score the tests. This year alone taxpayers shelled out $59.5 million to the company.
Although there are some Republicans who accuse the company of having their hands in the pocket of the Democrats this isn't entirely true. The DRC has their hands in the pockets of both parties especially now when the Republicans have been in control of Pennsylvania for several years.
The DRC is the invention of Russ Hagen who founded the company in 1978 after working as a computer programmer for several years. Through some of his civic duties he has strong and unbreakable ties to the Republican Party.
In 2006 Hagen hired former Republican state legislator Susan Engeleiter to be his CEO after the No Child Left Behind law helped make the DRC a $1.5 billion company. She showed her gratitude by landing a $110 million contract with the state of Ohio which is just peanuts to how much she got from Pennsylvania. Engeleiter even admits to aggressively going after clients and preying on their vulnerabilities (NCLB) in order to turn a buck.
The reason why Republicans thought that the DRC was in the Democrats pocket might have something to do with the $6,000 Engeleiter donated to Ed Rendell's campaign for governor and Hagen donating $16,000 in 2007. Out of that money $10,000 was donated after Rendell had won a second term as governor and still had over $1 million in the reelection campaign fund.
The GOP accused the Rendell administration of giving the contract to the DRC, but in retrospect the DRC had held contracts in Pennsylvania since 1992 when Republican Bob Casey was governor (1987-1995). Over the years the DRC has given money to several state legislators most of them Republicans.
When Republican Governor Tom Ridge was in office (1995-2001) the DRC hired lobbying firm Buchanan, Ingersoll and Rooney. The company's CEO, John A. Barbour, is a close friend to current Governor Tom Corbett and served on the governor's Advisory Council on Privatization and Innovation as well as the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
Buchanan, Ingersoll and Rooney (who don't come cheap), through their lobbying efforts and contacts which is done by Scott Baker once a top aide to Tom Ridge and who is married to Leslie Gromis Baker Corbett's Chief of Staff, let the DRC know about any upcoming or pending education legislation or politics that are going on in Washington. It is through this information that the DRC has been able to build their relationships within state governments as well as the Department of Education.
So what do the taxpayers get for their money? Apparently not too much. The schools get the booklets and forms, but that's about it.
The tests aren't graded by a computer. This is where the DRC provides a personal touch. It's graded by seasonal employees who make $11 -13 per hour. These aren't necessarily former teachers. To get the job all you have to do is to say you have a four year degree (proof not required), submit a short writing sample (because after all only a college graduate can do that), solve two math problems and attend a training session.
Employees say working for this company is akin to working in a slave labor type of setting; that they are expected to grade the test as fast as they can and not to ask any questions. In fact everyone that works for the DRC that are responsible for these tests are temporary employees which works out well for the company. There's no one to blame.
What the DRC hires are inexperienced people fresh out of college or those with at least some work history. What this amounts to is that each test, depending on who is grading it, will be scored differently. It also makes way for a lot of human error; that whether a student passes or fails is totally dependent on that employee who is working under extremely adverse conditions.
In a just world the Department of Education should cram the DRC under a microscope, but that won't happen as long as The Good Ol' Boy Syndrome is in play. The system, like everything else politicians touch, is slime covered and until the Department of Education can provide taxpayers with information and scientifically prove how these tests are helping students achieve academically then parents should opt out. In fact so should the taxpayers, but they aren't as lucky as a student who has their parents to depend on.

The City Is Forcing You to Commit Parking Violations Now
This was funnier on 'Punk'd.'
Finding a parking space in the city is always a nuisance, and usually when you think you've spotted one there's some catch that dashes your hopes there's a fire hydrant (pshh, as if there's actually going to be a fire), or a motorcycle you didn't see, etc. Even more frustrating is that when you finally do find a legitimate space at last, hooray! there's a chance that while you're parked, the city will uproot nearby diplomat-only parking signs, move them to encompass your spot, tow your car away, and ticket you. And when a sympathetic onlooker defends you, he will be told by the tow-truck driver, "I don't give a fuck." [NYP]

Down among the spices of the Spice Bazaar
One of the 2 most famous covered bazaars in Istanbul is the Spice Bazaar or Mısır Çarşısı (Egyptian Bazaar) as it is know in Turkish*. Last October we spent some time there sampling the goodies and buying a few small bags of spices.
As its name implies, the place specializes in spices, but other related foods as well as the usual touristy junk are readily available. Here is a cute shopkeeper presenting her wares.
There were all sorts of teas. Here we have from left to right, orange tea, apple tea, kiwi tea, lemon tea and cherry tea. The brightness and the hues of the colors suggest they were all artificial.
They seemed to specialize in gelatinous sweetmeats with lots of nuts in them.
And, of course, there was something to cure almost every ailment or to improve one's performance in any imaginable activity. Who needs Viagra when there is Turkish Viagra?
No, I didn't need to buy any of that. I am talking about 6 times in the night without any enhancers.
*The other one is Kapalı Çarşı, the Covered Bazaar.

Fore-get School! Golf Graduation Party (32 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I was recently asked to style a party for my friend's husband who was graduating from graduate school. Billy loves golf and his wife wanted me to incorporate a golf theme with his university's school colors: blue and yellow. I thought that a green, blue, and yellow palette would work perfectly for a fun golf themed luncheon.
To greet guests, I parked a golf cart by the entrance of the venue, complete with green, blue, and yellow ballons and a congrats banner. It was the perfect spot for the graduate to sit and have his picture taken.
The venue handled the buffet lunch, but the client asked if I would style a table for the cake and create an ice cream sundae bar. Boy were the sundaes a hit, even in December! I chose to use astroturf as the backdrop and to cover the table. Using the golf pro printables from 505design, I made a banner and separated each letter with blue and white golf tees. The cake in varying shades of blue with the graduation cap would be the focal point and I knew it would pop off of the green astroturf background. Sundae toppings for the vanilla and chocolate ice cream included brownies, oreos, butterfinger, M&Ms, nuts, bananas, strawberries, and peanut butter cups. And of course, who could forget the hot fudge, caramel, and maraschino cherries to top it off! The white chocolate hole in one pops were just another way to tie the golf theme into the table.
For the tables at which guests would be seated, I used a navy blue linen with white linen napkins (I used printable water bottle labels as napkin rings). For the table runners, I cut strips of astroturf. One of the centerpieces featured a fish bowl vase filled with golf balls and had bright yellow tulips and a pennant flag with the graduation year blooming from the top. The second centerpiece was a simple cylinder vase of yellow tulips that I dressed up with navy ribbon and party circles from the printable collection.

Many people visit Portsmouth annually for the Roy Rogers Festival (in its 30th year) where his life and film legacy are celebrated. Generations are familiar with his films including: Under Western Stars (1938) and My Pal Trigger (1946) as well as his work in television. Often, he appeared alongside his wife, Dale Evans. Both Roy and Dale loved children and felt education was important, in fact, Shawnee State College receives scholarship funds annually from the Roy Rogers Festival.
Under the guidance of the Portsmouth Area Community Exhibits (PACE) and the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Collectors Association (RR-DECA), the Festival remains a popular event.
The festival takes place July 31-August 3rd this year and guests include: Connie Stevens, Dodie Rogers-Patterson, and the Gate City Gunslingers. Festival events include: costume contests, car show, films, autograph sessions and live music.
For more information, visit www.royrogersfestival.org.
In 2012, the Roy Rogers Memory's Museum opened in Portsmouth, Ohio. Tucked into the upstairs area of a fun antiques market in the Boneyfiddle District you'll find treats that will bring back warm memories. This collection is packed with objects from the "King of the Cowboys" life and compiles memories from his childhood in Portsmouth. Born as Leonard Slye in 1911 in Cincinnati, Rogers considered Portsmouth his home town and frequently visited until he passed in 1998. Paintings, costumes, props and even Roy's cowboy hat and boots are on display. Items he endorsed (such as lunchboxes) are also on view and it's easy to imagine (or remember) having one of these pieces in your own home.
With the opening of the Roy Rogers Memory's Museum, the community is offered yet another chance to learn about the humble actor-singer who grew up on a modest farm on Duck Run and remained committed to Portsmouth and Scioto County. The collection makes a strong connection between Rogers and his local roots and effectively pays tribute to him while providing educational opportunities to all who visit.
The Museum is in its infancy and is the only remaining Roy Rogers collection on display in the United States. The Museum is completely volunteer-run and the staff is amazingly helpful and insightful. A small gift shop helps fund the project and while there is no admission fee, donations are gratefully welcomed.
The Museum is, indeed, a labor of love and an opportunity to continue to connect with the community as Mr. Rogers did.
Visit the Museum yourself at 526 Second Street (open Tuesday-Sunday 10 a.m-5 p.m.)/ Portsmouth, Ohio. Museum is open until 6 p.m during the Festiival.

Greg Lansing, a native of Harlan, Iowa, is in his seventh season as assistant basketball coach at the University of Iowa. Lansing joined the Hawkeye staff after serving as an assistant coach at Indiana State University for four seasons.
Iowa posted a 21-12 record in 2005, giving the Hawkeyes their fifth consecutive winning season and highest regular season victory total since 1998. The Hawkeyes earned their second NCAA Tournament invitation in the past five years. Iowa won two games in the Big Ten Tournament to advance to the semi-finals for the third time in five seasons and during the year earned three wins over teams that advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
The Iowa coaching staff earned national recognition and respect for the play of the Hawkeyes late in the 2001 season. The Hawkeyes hit their stride at the end of the year, winning the Big Ten Conference Tournament title and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Overall, Iowa ended the season with a 23-12 record, matching the fourth highest victory total in school history.
The Hawkeyes won 17 of their first 21 games before injuries took their toll. Despite the loss of guard Luke Recker for 17 games and guard Ryan Hogan for the final 10 games, Iowa played its best basketball at the end of the season in earning the Big Ten Tournament title with four wins in four days.
The Hawkeyes won 19 games in 2002, reaching the championship game of the Big Ten Conference Tournament for the second straight season. Iowa set a tournament record by winning seven straight games in the Big Ten Tournament in 2001 and 2002. Iowa lost to Ohio State in the championship game in 2002 after defeating Wisconsin and Indiana, two of the regular season co-champions, in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.
In Lansing's first year as an Iowa assistant, the Hawkeyes posted a 14-16 record in 2000, including wins over nationally ranked opponents Connecticut, Ohio State and Kansas and Final Four participant Wisconsin. The win over top-ranked Connecticut, the defending NCAA champion, came in the season-opener in New York's Madison Square Garden.
In Lansing's final two seasons at Indiana State the Sycamores posted back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since 1979 and 1980. When the Sycamores posted a 16-11 record in 1998 it marked the first winning season for Indiana State since 1980. In 1999 Indiana State was 15-12, with wins over NCAA participants Creighton and Southwest Missouri State. Indiana State advanced to the NCAA Tournament in both 2000 and 2001.
Prior to joining the staff at Indiana State, Lansing was the head basketball coach at Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, IA. Roosevelt had not had a winning season in 12 years before Lansing's initial season. The Roughriders went on to have back-to-back winning seasons under Greg's direction.
Along with serving on the Indiana State staff, Lansing has served as co-Director of Pro-Tech Basketball Camps, where he assisted Golden State Warrior Head Scout, and longtime friend, Ron Meikle, in running the nation-wide youth camps.
Lansing earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of South Dakota in 1990 and a master's degree in counseling from USD in 1992.
As a member of the Coyote basketball team Lansing helped South Dakota reach the NCAA Division II Tournament during his junior and senior seasons, the first NCAA invitation for USD since 1954. He was twice named the South Dakota Defensive Player of the Year and as a senior he earned conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. Greg is currently ranked among the leaders in career assists at USD.
Following his playing career, Lansing served as a graduate assistant coach at South Dakota for two seasons. In 1992-93 he was a full-time assistant.
As a prep at Harlan HS, Lansing earned second team all-state honors as a senior, in 1986, after earning fourth team honors as a junior. He was a member of the Iowa all-star basketball team that competed against the Michigan all-stars following his senior season. Greg also earned all-state honors in both football (quarterback) and baseball (pitcher).
Greg's father, Dave Lansing, coached high school basketball for 33 years at Mt. Pleasant and Harlan high schools in Iowa. Dave Lansing won over 450 games during his outstanding coaching career and was inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association Coaches Hall of Fame during the 1999 Iowa boys state basketball tournament.
Lansing's dad, his mother, Diane, his sister, Angela, and his nephew, Jordan, live in West Des Moines. His brother, Steve, is the head basketball coach at Faribault, MN High School, where he was named Regional Coach of the Year in 2004.
Greg was born December 9, 1967. His wife's name is Angie, who is a native of Batesville, IN, an Indiana State graduate and a former track and cross country academic all-American. Angie is the financial planner for Panchero's.

I noticed that most Amazon products have their ratings shown on the Google search page. Is there a semantic standard that controls that? I heard of microformats, but that doesn't seem right.
asked 07 Apr '11, 07:55
Rich snippets may be used to extend your product pages with structured information about ratings, prices and the like, though large merchants like Amazon are more likely to submit them as a product feed.
Among other options, which include microfomats, rich snippets may be expressed semantically by means of RDFa annotations, using one of the supported vocabularies for products and reviews. Use the Rich Snippets Testing Tool to see how the annotated page may appear in search results. Note, however, that rich snippets are displayed selectively according to the originating location of the search.
answered 07 Apr '11, 13:38
The standard for displaying rich snippets can be found at http://schema.org/ This standard is valid for all major search engines including Google, Bing, Yandex, Yahoo. Here is the starting point.

you might have a look at GoodRelations which is also a largely used ontology if I am not mistaken.

Antigone is the woman I've been working with, helping her do her artwork. She was keen to do fashion design before the accident which I found out a bit more about, she'd only recently got her licence and ran off the road and hit a tree on her way to Bungendore. She's suffered from partial paralysis to her left side since then, and she was left handed so has had to rewire her brain and become right handed. Basically I just get everything set up, give her a few tips and honest comments and she does all the rest.
I studied at the CSA Canberra School of Art (ANU) majoring in Textiles, I graduated from there in 1997, with first class honours. Then I went on to have a family, and put my art on the back seat so to speak. Over the next years, I have co ordinated several collaborative art projects. I have enjoyed putting my artistic talent towards creating books, I think I have an eye for detail. :)

Following the New Berlin Eisenhower boys basketball team's 40-36 win over Little Chute in the New Berlin Classic on Dec. 29 at New Berlin West, Lions coach Dave Scheidegger just wanted to get off the court and get to the locker room.
Not so fast, Dave.
The victory was Scheidegger's 300th in his illustrious 20-year career, and his players, assistant coaches and athletic director had a short presentation planned for him. They handed him team pictures and a signed game ball with "300 victories" inscribed on the leather.
"It was all very humbling," Scheidegger said. "I did not actually know that was the game (he was going for 300 wins). I never really got into this to do those things. I got into it because I liked working with kids and I love sports."
To Scheidegger, whose team improved to 9-0 with the win over a Little Chute and an 81-33 victory over Rhinelander the next day, none of his 301 wins necessarily stand out more than the rest, not even when the Lions won their first-ever state title by beating Adams-Friendship, 54-41, in the Division 2 championship game in 2008.
Players made it happen
What stands out in Scheidegger's mind are the hundreds of players that have laced up their basketball shoes under his watch.
"Basically, they've got to buy in to what you're selling," he said. "We've had a lot of good kids that are responsible for (300 wins). I didn't make a basket or steal a ball or get a rebound. We've just had a lot of players really commit"
Beyond the players are the relationships Scheidegger has formed with assistant coaches and other community members. Mike McKowen has been Scheidegger's assistant for 15 years, and the two talk so often on the phone that when McKowen calls the Scheidegger residence, Scheidegger's daughter, Allison, tells her father that his brother is on the phone.
"And we've had great parents at Eisenhower. I've had parents that don't even have kids at the school that want to coach, want to shoot film for us. For some reason, Eisenhower just attracts these wonderful adults that want to get involved in the community. It's a big endeavor. It's not a one- or two-person job."
Scheidegger said his wife, Donna, and daughter have made many sacrifices to allow him to "go play basketball." That support at home has helped make Scheidegger a rare jewel Eisenhower is lucky to possess. At 54 years old, Scheidegger has coached for more than half his life. Before taking the Eisenhower gig in 1990, he spent 11 years coaching various sports at lower levels at New Berlin West.
'Lifers' are rare
Now, as a coach who has spent his entire two-decade varsity career at one school, Scheidegger represents a dying breed. Of the 13 Woodland Conference coaches, only seven have been head coaches for 10 or more seasons. According to the 2009-10 Wisconsin Men's Basketball Yearbook, 62 high schools across the state switched boys coaches before this season and 73 did so a year ago. Lifers, as Scheidegger called himself, are vanishing.
"It's a big sacrifice," he said. "Whether it's right or wrong, it's gotten to where there is more to it than meets the eyes. I don't know if it's any harder than for the guys that did it 30 years ago, but there's probably more time committed now to do what you want to do because others are putting in more time. If you're going to run with them, you're going to have to step it up.
"Obviously, I've always found it very rewarding. You get a group each year (and) see what kind of basketball they can play."
It's a formula that continues to work for Dave Scheidegger.
High five
Only five current Woodland Conference coaches have 200 or more career
347: Jeff Lewiston, New Berlin West
316: Tim Reuter, Pewaukee
306: Kent Kroupa, Whitnall
301: Dave Scheidegger, Eisenhower
214: John Riggins, South Milwaukee

In honor of Veterans Day, Anoka-Ramsey Community College will host the United States Army, Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 11:30 a.m. in the Coon Rapids Campus Student Lounge/Student Center. Representatives from the Army will conduct a Fallen Comrade event. The community is invited to join this somber, respectful ceremony in honor of all fallen soldiers.
The event will include the Color Guard presenting the national flag in a formation unique and customary to military units and a Fallen Comrade ceremony to honor and recognize those who have served our country and fallen.
The Fallen Comrade ceremony is intended to honor military members who are missing, often referred to as "brothers and sisters." It is based on a small table with a white tablecloth to depict the purity of the soldier's intentions as he/she responded to their country's call to arms. The table is set for one to represent the frailty of one soldier alone against his or her enemies.
A single yellow rose in a vase on the table symbolizes remembrance and honors families and loved ones who keep the fallen comrade's memories alive. A red ribbon tied to the vase is a reminder of the blood shed to protect the liberty of the country.
A single bread plate contains a slice of lemon, which speaks to the fallen soldier's bitter fate, and salt which symbolizes the families' tears. An inverted glass is placed as proof that the soldier is not present to toast. Finally, an empty chair represents the missing soldiers.
"We are hoping students, staff and the public will join Veterans Services at Anoka-Ramsey to honor all men and women who have served our country," says Phil O'Donnell, the college's Veterans Services Director. "We want veterans and their families to know that Anoka-Ramsey values their sacrifices, and is here to help in any way that we can."
For more information on Anoka-Ramsey Community College's veteran events and programs, call 763-433-1334 or visit www.AnokaRamsey.edu.

We all have designers that can do no wrong in our eyes; a brand that feels as though every shoe is made for you personally. When that designer creates something awful, it can feel like a betrayal. Today, I feel betrayed. I'd complete our Fill in the Blank like this: These Prada Suede Asymmetric Flat Sport Sandals are a a designer Teva gone terribly, terribly, (did I say terribly?) wrong.
Prada is one of the brands that always puts forth innovative, influential, trend-setting designs that I generally appreciate. Today, not so much' there's not one thing I value about these sandals. When it comes to loving ugly sandals, we know Amanda takes that crown around here, and when she saw these sandals, even she couldn't find any sort of aesthetic pleasure. It was good to know it was not just me who felt so strongly, and I have a feeling that many sizes of these shoes are going to end up on sale shortly. Let us know how you'd fill in the blank in the comments – I can't wait to hear!

Feb. 8 Men's Basketball Notebook
Feb. 8, 2013
Memphis and Southern Miss, currently ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the Conference USA standings, meet Saturday for a 3 p.m. CT tip featured on CBS Sports Network.
Memphis rides a 13-game win streak and perfect 8-0 league mark into Hattiesburg to square off with Southern Miss, who is 7-1 in the league. The two teams split their series last season, each winning at home, and with the margin of victory three points or less. Southern Miss' victory in Hattiesburg last year snapped what had been an 18-game drought in the series.
C-USA Men's Basketball Notebook & Statistics
CSS will televise the first game of the day when Houston hosts Tulane at 1 p.m. CT. The Cougars had a bye Wednesday following a dramatic overtime win at SMU last Saturday. Tulane is coming off a 91-75 victory against visiting Marshall Wednesday, but the Green Wave is still looking for its first league win on the road.
UAB hosts Marshall at 3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. CT in Bartow Arena. The Blazers have won two of their last three outings, including a 70-63 victory against Tulsa Wednesday. Marshall has experienced tremendous success at home this season, but the Herd is still looking for its first true road win. A year ago, these two teams split the series with each winning on the other's home court.
UCF welcomes East Carolina for a 4 p.m. ET tip. The Knights are sitting in a tie for third place and boasts two of the league's most prolific scorers in C-USA preseason Player of the Year Keith Clanton (16.1 ppg) and junior Isaiah Sykes (15.5). ECU senior Maurice Kemp could have an answer for the Pirates as he leads the league in scoring with 17.9 ppg, including a 33-point performance last weekend. His effort earned him C-USA Player of the Week honors Feb. 4.
SMU visits Rice for a 7 p.m. CT contest at Tudor Fieldhouse. Both are coming off a pair of tough losses, but the Mustangs picked up a big win at Marshall in their last road trip and Rice knocked off crosstown, league rival Houston at Tudor.
UTEP hosts Tulsa for the nightcap, tipping at 8 p.m. CT/7 p.m. MT. The Miners are tied for third place in the C-USA standings following a 65-53 win over Rice Wednesday. Sophomore C.J. Cooper came off the bench to pace UTEP in that victory and became the eighth different Miner to lead the team in scoring. In the last meeting between the two teams Jan. 16, Tulsa executed a great defensive effort to defeat UTEP, 45-42.

Marriage and meditation should be inseparable. In the morning, you should arise, take a deep breath, and pray. This is the way every married woman should begin the day everyday. Have children? That's fine. The advice is still the same. Arise. Take a deep breath. Pray. This is thing, ladies, if you fail to self-connect in the morning after a long night's slumber, you will not be the fully charged woman you should be for the spouse or children for whom you've charged yourself for care.
Women, have you ever walked into the kitchen where your spouse's eyes were glued to ESPN and maybe he didn't register your existence, even after ten minutes after you had arrived? How did you respond? Did you respond by making an extra effort to return the coffee pot to its place with a little more effort than you should have? Were you a bit more forceful when you served the kiddies their morning cereal? Why was that? Was it simply because your spouse seemed more interested in what Kobe did during the game your husband spent all night watching? (Why did he need to see those highlights anyway?) Would your husband's engrossment in Kobe's skills have really bothered you had you taken steps in the early morning to preclude a negative response to this behavior on your part?
When you arise, take a deep breath, and pray in the early morning, ladies, you allow yourself time to settle into yourself—your inner being—in the morning, and you also allow yourself the opportunity to connect with the source of your power, your God. To her female readers, Stormy Omartian, the bestselling author of The Power of a Praying Wife, said, " You have a means to establish a hedge of protection around your marriage..." For tips on creating a more effective prayer life, see http://1stholistic.com/prayer/hol_tips-for-a-more-effective-prayer-life.htm.
A calm, controlled woman is a sweet, engaging force in a marriage. Spouses and children sense the tension that women oftentimes do not realize they are emitting in their homes. Start conditioning yourself to be the compelling force from which peace radiates in your home. Arise tomorrow morning. Take a deep breath. Pray.
