Cory Monteith, James Gandolfini & More Late Stars Honored at the Emmys
Originally posted 09/22/2013 11:45PM
There was an outcry when the Emmy producers announced that they were paying special tribute during Sunday's telecast to five people the industry had lost over the past year.
The rumblings were so loud about what some saw as favoritism that even Emmys host Neil Patrick Harris stepped into the fray to explain the reasoning.
"I always find the In Memoriam is just really interesting because sometimes it seems weird that they keep the audio on in the house, so some people get applause and some people don't, and it turns it into this weird moment," he told Access Hollywood. "And you want that moment to be honoring those people, and not a competition."

The first trailer has been released for one of James Gandolfini's last performances, and it's a bittersweet reminder of just how talented the late actor was.
The Sopranos star, who died in Italy on June 19 of a heart attack, plays Albert, a divorced dad who begins dating Eva, a masseuse (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), in the upcoming romantic comedy Enough Said.
Things get awkward, and funny, when Eva realizes that her new client is Albert's ex-wife.

"It's a nightmare for the whole family. It's a horrible, horrible thing, everybody is just devastated," Bob Price, whose wife is a cousin of the late star, told the newspaper. "This man was everybody's hero. It's just the worst thing that could have happened."

|UCAPC held its regularly scheduled meeting on October 20
and a special meeting to review the course inventory management process
on October 13. Business of the latter carried forward to October
20. The minutes reported herein are therefore the combined of the
two meetings.
Present October 20: Carol Holdcraft (for Candace Cherrington), Jean Edwards, Jeanne Fraker, Jim Steinberg, Nathan Klingbeil, Joe Law, Richard Mercer, Tony Ortiz, Bobbie Pohlman, Tom Sav, Alpana Sharma, Karen Wilhoit. Guests: Wallace Neikirk, Kitty Friedman, Eric Poch, Todd Brittingham.
Present October 13: Candace Cherrington, Jean Edwards, Jeanne Fraker, Jim Steinberg, Nathan Klingbeil, Joe Law, Richard Mercer, Bobbie Pohlman, Tom Sav, Alpana Sharma, Karen Wilhoit. Guests: Wallace Neikirk, Kitty Friedman, Mary Holland.
Approved Minutes of September 29, 2009.UCAPC Subcommittee Reports
Writing Across the Curriculum Committee (WAC): Joe Law, WAC Chair, reported that the semester WAC program proposal (absent, of course, specific courses) will be presented to UCAPC in time for its November meeting.
University General Education Committee( UGEC): Jean Edwards, UGEC Chair, reported that the semester GE program proposal (absent, of course, specific courses) will be presented to UCAPC in time for its November meeting..
Undergraduate Academic Program Review Committee (UAPRC): Susan Carrafiello, UAPRC Chair. No report.
Service Learning Committee (SLC): Cathy Sayer, SLC Chair. No report.
New Programs
Course Inventory Management Workflow
B.S. Psychology: Industrial/Organizational Concentration: The committee noted that the GE program component of the proposal was flawed and that affected the remaining components of the program. The committee returned the proposal for additional work.
The committee used the presentation of the course inventory management workflow as a review of the format and process for converting the inventory from the quarter to the semester calendar and for proposing new courses for the semester inventory. The committee made several requests for modifications necessary to improve the curricular functionality of the process and some recommendations to improve the user friendliness of the format. The primary focus rested on the need to maintain the curricular integrity of the process while attempting to satisfy the administrative issues surrounding the desire to create separate course identities or, at least, separate tags for laboratories, recitations, clinicals, etc. The committee also focused on the need to maintain separate course prerequisite information for the subset of quarter system courses that would be converted to semester system courses. Some recommendations arose with regard to formatting the grading and course type selections and content of the explanatory text. Everyone agreed to the modifications that need to be incorporated prior to the deployment of the course inventory management. One issue that remained and could not be resolved pertained to the attachment of "Notes" and the authorization of individuals to enter notes during the submission process as well as the obligation of UCAPC to act upon such notes. That issue could be addressed later and should not delay deployment of the workflow, at least for the "save" stage. Current versions may be viewed at
Other Academic Matters
Minor and Certificate Program Policies; The committee picked up where it previously departed from the matter of credit hour minimums and maximums for minor and certificate programs. While considering the minimums under OBR discussions, the committee also agreed to some preliminary maximums. However, prior to any the formulation of formal proposals, the committee must resolve the possible inconsistencies that seem to arise in defining certificates. That problem also exists for the committee deliberations regarding concentrations, tracks, etc.
Adjourned: Fall meetings and deadlines for submission as well as Senate approvals as follows:
Additional meetings will be scheduled to attend to the semester academic calendar conversion.

For a third straight day, spirits were high with high energy on both sides of the ball. The team continued to work on its daily drills, including individual and group segments, as well as shifting more attention to the special teams units.
The players put on shoulder pads for the first time this fall, which resulted in an intense and physical inside running period. Offensively, Chris Henry and Xavier Smith each ran strong behind the offensive line.
In the 7-on-7 skeleton passing segment, Willie Tuitama completed seven of nine pass attempts, including three to fellow sophomore Michael Thomas. Adam Austin also had a sharp session, completing five of seven attempts, including a pair to freshman Terrell Reese and senior Eric Sheehan, who had the longest reception of the day (20 yards).
The half-hour team segment to close practice featured a better mix of run and pass plays than in recent days. Along with Henry and Smith, junior college transfer Chris Jennings and freshman Glyndon Bolasky got carries in the drill. Bolasky's teammate from
The defense held its own, however, limiting Tuitama to three of eight passing, thanks in part to a heavy pass rush. Freshman defensive end Ricky Elmore showed a quick burst off the edge and batted down a Tuitama pass. Later, junior corner back Wilrey Fontenot jumped in front of another Tuitama throw, breaking up the play. On Tuitama's last pass attempt of the night, defensive ends Louis Holmes and Johnathon Turner came off opposite ends to meet each other in the backfield, sacking Tuitama (no contact).
The Wildcats will get to sleep in tomorrow before holding meetings in the late afternoon. The team will return to practice at 6 p.m. on Monday, again at the Rincon Vista Complex.
NOTES: The team held its annual Media Day in McKale Center earlier in the morning, thus the coaching staff and players took the night off from addressing the media following practice ... Day Three of camp again went off as scheduled with very comfortable temperatures ... Nearly 100 fans attended the evening workout ... Freshman defensive back Cam Nelson has switched jersey numbers to No. 20 (previously No. 18) ... Place-kicking specialists Nick Folk (place-kicker), Kyle McQuown (holder) and Garon McHone (snapper) had a perfect session at the beginning of the practice. Folk's longest attempt was from 35 yards ... Former Arizona fullback Pedro Limon attended Saturday's practice, as did former UA basketball player Hassan Adams.

On May 1, 2014 Johnny Clegg, one of South Africa's most celebrated artists, brought his blend of African Zulu rhythms and Western Pop to the Aladdin's Theater in Portland, Oregon. While he's not a household name in the United States, over the past three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums worldwide.
Clegg's son Jesse Clegg opened the evening for an unplugged alternative rock set. The younger Clegg's 2008 debut album When I Wake Up, and his 2011 follow up, Life On Mars, have both made the 25-year-old a platinum-selling success in South Africa.
From the moment the Jonny Clegg band hit the stage, his haunting refrain Impi (meaning "Zulu warriors" or "War") captivated the audience many of whom danced from the opening song until the end of the second encore. As he performed songs like Great Heart from the movie Jock of The Bushveld and The Crossing (written for Dudu Ndlovu, his Zulu dance partner in the Savuka era), the theater moved in unison. These two songs have achieved anthem status with crowds in his home country and based on the audience reaction, they have a similar response in Portland as well.
Those wishing to catch Clegg in action can check out his tour dates and his music for sale.

Star Center wants WeatherBug station
Fundraising efforts could help bring local data to Fox 6

PELL LAKE — For those who live near Star Center Elementary School, there's really no such thing as a local televised weather report.
Sure, they can watch the weather on the news — or even the Weather Channel — but the data they see isn't technically local. Take the major network stations. Many of them are located in Milwaukee, Chicago or even Madison and Rockford, Ill.
"You kind of have to look at three different channels to find out whether it's going to be colder here or not, to find out how you should dress today," said Kristin Hunsaker, reading teacher at Star Center. "That's important, especially if you've got to go outside with the kids for recess."
The need to know what the weather will be isn't just about dressing for it. Safety and education figure into why Star Center staff and district residents are raising money to install a WeatherBug station at the school.

Hunsaker, Star Center Principal Betsy Schroeder and fifth-grade teacher Michelle Lambert discussed the benefits of having WeatherBug. If the school can raise about $5,000, it can install WeatherBug and have the local weather featured on Fox 6 Milwaukee news and the WeatherBug cell phone app.
"Our main reason was to draw attention to the area, but WeatherBug has a lot of safety devices," Lambert said.
Schroeder said last year, she was contacted by Fox 6 Milwaukee because "they were looking for some more weather stations in the southern part of the county." She said a weather station existed at Badger High School, but she suspects it was part of an older system and hasn't been updated.
The current version of the WeatherBug system people at Star Center are raising money for is the standard package, which includes a digital display, and a lightning detection/early warning system, Schroeder said.
That means no high-definition camera, so if this is installed, don't expect to see any shots from Star Center on TV. However, Schroeder said the temperature and other weather data from the area would be broadcasted on Fox 6.
"We would have this weather information immediately (with WeatherBug) and I think this would help the weather service make better calls locally," she said.
Theoretically, this could improve weather forecasts and provide better information, say, on those days when it's snowing in Pell Lake, but the TV meteorologists don't know about it so they're telling viewers there's no winter precipitation.
But Schroeder, Lambert and Hunsaker said WeatherBug has more serious benefits.
"It can set off tornado alarms with our local fire department and can (transmit) that information right away," Lambert said.
Schroeder said the benefits wouldn't just be for the community, although that's a primary reason for seeking a WeatherBug station.
Lambert said there are "thousands of things that teachers and students would have access to" on WeatherBug, including actual storm footage and data which would enhance teaching in several subjects — not just science and math, but creative writing by helping to provide students with pictures to describe and geography.
"This would just make our curriculum pop," she said.
Star Center students also could use local weather data to conduct other worthwhile research projects, Schroeder said, adding WeatherBug has 8,000 tracking stations and 1,200 cameras located at schools nationwide.
"For example, we can take Pell Lake's information and compare it with Washington D.C.'s," she said.
Schroeder said technology is how children learn best these days, and with WeatherBug, not only is it expected to enhance the learning experience but help the community.
"This is just one way we can make learning about the weather meaningful to our kids and provide a service to Pell Lake, Genoa City and Lake Geneva, too," she said.
"It's a one-stop shop for verified weather information," Lambert said. "We don't have to go all over the Internet to look up a forecast and worry that it's not even going to be true."
Although it's not cheap, Star Center has received some help in covering about half the cost of a WeatherBug station already.
According to Schroeder, it would cost more than $10,000 to build and install it in Star Center.
"It is costly and actually, the HD cameras and things make it more costly, but we are working with Modern Woodmen of America on a matching grant," she said. "We're going to work that out this spring."
Fox 6 already committed to a $1,000 grant, Schroeder said, and to date, the Star Center PTO contributed $3,000 toward the WeatherBug station.
Star Center also will save money on installation costs by having it done in-house. Schroeder said Dan Schmidt and Bret Braden can install WeatherBug. That move and the Fox 6 grant have brought the total for the station down to $8,600.
Meanwhile, according to Schroeder, a bake sale in conjunction with the school's holiday concert in December helped raise $500. Another fundraiser is planned for Monday, Jan. 30, at Upper Crust. See next week's Regional News for more specifics about that event.
As of Dec. 16, 2011, Star Center has raised about $3,662 for the WeatherBug station.
"We're just really excited to get it in here and play around with it," Schroeder said. "I feel like, if we can produce one meteorologist because of this, then it's worth it."

Beach Fill Update
On April 21, sand pumping operations concluded in Sea Isle City. Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company is currently demobilizing their equipment; they will drag the beach to remove any ruts and uneven surfaces as part of the demobilization. Corrective work is still needed at several beach entrances (that work may take place into the early summer, though beach access should not be impeded as the work proceeds). Sea Isle's Public Works Department will perform maintenance work on beach entrances and will coordinate with the contractors to ensure beach accesses are in good condition.
Some beach entrances will be closed during the demobilization. Currently, the beach entrances from 52nd to 55th Street are closed. The project equipment and materials will be removed from the beach via the 57th Street beach access, so please use caution in that area.
Sea Isle City's Master Plan Re-Examination Survey
Has Been Thoroughly Reviewed
In 2015, Sea Isle City created a survey as part of the Master Plan Re-Examinatino Process. The results from that survey are now available in a 21-page document. The Master Plan Re-Examination is still underway, and the results from the survey are a useful tool for that process.

Unhappy workers taint the workplace and the end result is often low production and a toxic environment. Amazon recognizes the importance of the folks working for them actually wanting to be there and not spending day after day begrudging their job. This huge employer adopted the policy of sending around a memo once a year offering up to $5,000 if you quit your job, according to the Los Angeles Times on April 12.
Folks that have been with Amazon for a year are offered $2,000 and another $1,000 is added for each additional year that you've been with the company. The exit incentive caps out at $5,000 for workers who have been with Amazon for five years or more. You might think that this would spawn a high turnover of workers, but only about two to three percent of Amazon's workforce actually take them up on this exit incentive.
This offer to quit your job for money is presented in a positive manner. The memo starts out with the headline, "Please Don't Take This Offer," which right there gives employees a feeling that they are appreciated. Paying folks to leave their jobs gets rid of dead wood and leaves room for new workers who tend bring enthusiasm with them.
According to Yahoo News, this offer to pay employees to leave their jobs is not unique. It was actually the company Zappos, the online shoe site, that was acquired by Amazon in 2009 who started this bizarre but useful exit strategy for unhappy workers. Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh is cutting edge when it comes nurturing a healthy and happy work environment.
This workplace pay to exit incentive is the brainchild of Hsieh, which is used at Zappos along with other innovative policies to keep the workers functioning as happy campers. Zappos' customer service is a step above the rest with reps even offering customers names of competitor websites that carry the product they are looking for if Zappos is out of stock of the item.
Amazon employs over 117,000 people with the majority of that number working in one of their 96 distribution centers worldwide. Any given year they see only two percent to three percent of the employees take the money and run. Hsieh wrote a book called "Delivering Happiness," which details the strategy he uses to create a workplace that is just plain happy!

Though the first race of the Utah High School Cycling League isn't until Sept. 6 at Soldier Hollow, the Park City High School Mountain Bike Club is ready to hit the hills for summer training.
After a meeting at PCHS on Tuesday afternoon, first-year head coach Pete Stoughton is encouraged by the number of riders interested in joining the team.
"We're hoping that we've got 30-40 riders," he said. "It's awesome that we've got so many riders, but we've got to figure out how to make sure they're riding with adults. It's a blessing and a curse."
But, with one of the Cycling League's five races returning to Round Valley (on Oct. 4), Stoughton, who took over head coaching duties from Evan Hyde (now club director), said he hopes the club's skills draw some fans out to the home race.
"I'm hoping that we get 40 riders and it becomes such a big thing that, rather than going to the football game, people are going to Round Valley for homecoming to watch a race," he said.
Coming off a state title last year, Stoughton said this year's group of cyclists should be right in the mix for a repeat. Though the team lost a couple key seniors, Stoughton is excited about the returning talent.
"We've got Ethan Reynolds coming back," he said. "He's one of our returning varsity riders. He was almost always top-10 last year. He's a great leader on the trails and off the trails, so we're really glad to have him back.
"We also have some strong senior girls in Brenna Egan and Quinn Graves. They'll be riding varsity again.
Then there are the non-seniors, who Stoughton said are just as strong on the trails as the upperclassmen.
"We've got some young kids who are just amazing and have been riding for a long time nationally and internationally," he said. "Haley Batten [who won every girls' varsity race last season], Evan Clouse will be riding with us, Sienna Leger Redel, Drew Palmer-Leger it's just an arsenal of riders who could, hands down, whip any adult out there on the trails.
Though the team has plenty of star power at the top, Stoughton said balance from top to bottom is a key for Park City.
"The strength of this team is that they're a team," he said. "They all get along, they have fun together and they laugh together. That's good, because you're kind of vulnerable when you're in spandex for a long period of time."
Park City will definitely be a force again this year, but Stoughton said the gap between his squad and some other schools isn't as big as it was a year ago.
"There are some really good teams," he said. "Corner Canyon and some other teams are really developing and have some strong riders. We've got to stay on our toes."
That'll be made easier by a donation from Reynolds Cycling that the club received on Tuesday afternoon.
"We got a call from Reynolds saying they wanted to donate six $2,000 wheels," Stoughton said. "They called us up and said 'Let's get you guys on these wheels ASAP."
So, as the summer training season begins, the club has even more motivation to get out on the trails and work hard. But, Stoughton added, the emphasis will continue to be on having fun first and foremost.
"We just want to keep these guys having fun and riding because they love it," he said. "Then, hopefully, they'll continue to win. Summer is for getting kids on the bike and developing skills. A lot of the elite riders are already on the bike and racing now, so summer is just a continuation of that. But, for some of the kids, they're just getting on the bike in the summer because that's when they have free time."

virology, immunology, immunotherapeutic intervention
Resistance to most virus infections is mediated by specific antibody,\r\nthe usual target of most virus vaccines. On the other hand, the recovery\r\nprocess after infection has already occurred is primarily due to cellular\r\nimmune mechanisms which involve cytotoxic lymphocytes which destroy infected\r\ncells preventing further spread of infection and lymphocytes which secrete\r\ncytokines capable of inhibiting virus replication.\r\n\r\n
In collaboration with Dr. Thomas Moran, we are interested in exploring\r\nmodels of immunotherapeutic intervention in experimental virus infections\r\nof mice. In one of these, we use bispecific antibodies to target cytolytic\r\nand/or cytokine secreting lympho- cytes to sites of infection to interrupt\r\nvirus replication and hasten recovery.\r\n\r\n
In another model, we use cytokine (IL-4, IL-10, IL-12) to modulate the\r\nimmune response to dissect the role of various cytokines in the recovery\r\nprocess and to "push" the immune response in the direction of\r\none which is beneficial to the host (virus clearance) instead of one which\r\ncontributes to immunopathology (host responses which are part of the disease\r\npicture).
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

I was terminated on 12/11/09, and was denied unemployment. I was discharged for: unauthorized use of company/personal information outside of business requirements and advising a former employee to file a legal complaint against the employer". I was the HR person, and filed a retaliation complaint against the employer. The information that I used in my complaint was what was used against me. In addition, I never encouraged a previous employee to file a legal complaint against the employer. In fact, this employee was the one threatening to file a legal complaint. Anyways, I filed an EEOC complaint against them.
As a result of my EEOC complaint, my previous employer has agreed (legal agreement written between attorney's) to not show up for my appeal hearing. In light of that, how will this appeal hearing unfold? What are my chances for getting unemployment?
Hi Kristy,
I would think that you'd be aware, that when an employer doesn't offer "direct testimony" to counter what a claimant testifies to .. that it is very difficult to sustain the burden that the discharge was for misconduct.
But of course it is not always a "slam dunk" that the claimant will win either. Providing
self-disqualifying testimony yourself can do the trick too.
It's just easier for a claimant to win unemployment hearings when there is nobody to offer contradictory testimony and submit the documentation into the record to support the employer testimony as to why the discharge was for "misconduct".

If you open your herb and spice cabinet, you will most likely be graced with the presence of some incredible health benefits. Every single one of those herbs and spices lining your shelves contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to boost your overall health. That being said, there is one spice in particular that you might have purchased a while back in order to add a teaspoon of it to that curry you made, yet then proceeded to ignore it.
This spice has a warm, bitter, peppery flavor that is traditionally used in Indian cooking, however, it really can be used in any cuisine, you just have to get creative. The laundry list of health benefits turmeric has will have you rushing to your grocery store to purchase more!
There is one particular health benefit (aside from the fact that turmeric - or curcumin - is an anti-inflammatory, extreme antioxidant and a cancer blocker) of turmeric that is quite intriguing.

The next 5 lbs
Monday, May 09, 2011
Okay so I was just laying in bed stressing and finally decided the hell with it! I'm putting off sleep another 15 min to write my first blog (for the 2nd time around, lol) so i can get some peace.
I made a goal for myself at the beginning of April when I weighed in at 232 that by the end of May I would be 212 and reward myself with a PT package! (Can't wait!)
So here I am.. 6 weeks later, 217 lbs and 5 lbs left to go. I wouldn't go so far to say the last 15 lbs have been easy but they've had a nice flow. Well for some reason when I start getting around 215-218 is when this gets tough. I don't know what it is, but this weight range has been a stage I've been stuck at for a long time.
Years ago I set out on this journey once before. Christmas of 2008 I weighed in at my high of 260 lbs. A year later I was 212. Then I got into a bad relationship and just stopped focusing on me. A year later after a horrible ending to that relationship I got back on the wagon for a bit.. going from 225 to 214. That 214 was a year ago. I wasn't healed from that relationship and was using my workouts as an escape and coping mechanism. But it only worked for so long before I found other unhealthier ways of coping only to eventually let myself slip right back down that slippery slope. Thus finding myself at 236 a few months ago in Feb.
So it's not so much about the next 5 lbs but what happens after the next 5 lbs. I need to make it through this and past this for ME. I need to find a healthy balance of body, mind and spirit... but one can't be whole without the other two so that's something I'm going to need to put a conscious effort into every single day til i get er down.
But I WILL reach that goal! MORE importantly, I will reach the goal after that and the goal after that and the goal after that.......... I will not stop.
So here's to setting the NEXT goal
Cheers to healthier me and you sparksters!

Nicole... how is that even when you are blogging about your frustrations and your concerns, you still seem to motivate me. LOL.. you are an amazing woman!
I think the fact that you have lost 15 lbs in a month is awesome! I would say you are on the right path and that your diet and exercise routine is going to keep taking you where you want to go. Like you told me though... make sure you are mixing it up! Don't let your body get in a routine and get stuck.

Good luck getting through that goal! I have one of those too and I'm sure it's more of a mental barrier than a physical barrier and it'll feel great to get through. I reckon it's quite scary thinking about being able to hold steady in the future when you've yo-yo-ed in the past, but where there's a will, there's a way!

Good for you! I do best when I am conscious about my food choices and behavior (including thinking) every day. Sometimes it's just slow, but loss is steady and stays off once it's gone.
You're on your way!

Twenty pounds in 2 months is pretty aggressive--especially when you have to work through a point that you know is tough. I hope you will focus on some other goals to get you through the next 5 pounds--5 fruits and vegetables each day/consistent workouts/plenty of water/in bed by 11PM--anything liek that that is part of the journey.
It's not always about the number of pounds by a certain date.
You'll be looking back asking yourself "why was that a hard weight to get past? I can't remember any more!" And you'll be laughing!

DJ's (usually playing indie/electro/pop-hiphop or a mix of all) who Change tracks constantly usually keeping play time of a single track under a minute and a half (usually around 45 seconds to 1 minute). Rarely do these DJs have any skill other then having way to much time on there hands allow them to precompile a play list of tracks with similar BPMs, allowing them to cut from one track to the next while keeping a almost steady rhythm. Rarely do these DJs have any mixing or scratching skills, and they almost always use serato to give the impression that they know what they are doing (even though the same effect could be done with 2 ipods).
OMG! why can't this douche play a track longer then 30 seconds? I acutally liked that song! ADDjing is SO 2005...

A newcomer to Michal Bílek's Czech Republic squad, Theodor Gebre Selassie ended the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying campaign as the team's first-choice right-back, starting both of the play-off legs against Montenegro. He is Czech by birth but – as his name suggests – of East African ancestry on his paternal side.
• Born in Trebic, a small town in the south of the Czech Republic, to a Czech mother and Ethiopian father, he joined local club FC Vysočina Jihlava as a youth and made his debut in the second division in 2006/07 following a loan spell at FC Velké Meziříčí.
• Having left for the capital in 2007 when SK Slavia Praha lured him away from Vysočina, he helped the club win the 1. Liga title in his debut season but played only nine times and was not used in Europe, where Slavia competed in both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
• After just one term with Slavia, during which he graduated to Czech Under-21 honours, he left for FC Slovan Liberec two games into the 2008/09 campaign.
• Helped Liberec qualify for the UEFA Europa League via a third-place finish that season and was an ever present in 2011/12 – playing all 2,700 minutes – as the Blue-Whites won the Czech title for the first time in 11 years.
• Handed his first senior caps in June 2011 on an end-of-season tour to Japan, he started each of the Czech Republic's last four UEFA EURO 2012 qualifiers, replacing Zdeněk Pospech at right-back.

Valentine's Day has become a hallmark holiday, especially when it falls on a holiday weekend this year. Taking a departure from the said overpriced flowers and sugary teats, turn your sights to Denver offerings that are good for you and good for the soul.
Surprise a loved one with dinner on Saturday, when the restaurants are not as busy and the high priced, prix fixe menus have been tucked away. Several favorites are offering a la carte menus and not requiring reservations.
Venture down to the historic old Pearl Street and start the night at both Izakaya Den http://izakayaden.net and Sushi Den http://sushiden.net. Put your name on the list to sit at Sushi Den's iconic sushi bar and stroll over to Izakaya Den for sake at its beautiful red bar on the lower level. The sake selection at both restaurants is extensive and one of the best in the country. Once your table or seat at the bar is open, move on over and enjoy the freshest fish in Denver. End your night at Session Kitchen http://sessionkitchen.com for a Spumoni Float and a glass of Tawny Port. If you like bubbles, check out the bar's "Bubbles on Tap", a rare find in Denver.
Keep the "good for the soul" mantra all weekend by enjoying Sunday Afternoon Meltdown at Pura Vida http://puravidaclub.com, Sunday at 2 pm. An hour session of yoga and a 30 minute meditation are held on the 4th floor in the club's heated yoga room and Ethos wellness hub. The session is finished off with a Birch Elixir, a signature line of herbal remedies from Birch Foster, a leader in the holistic health industry. Favorites include Vital Thrive with elderberry and ginger that are high in antioxidants and boost immunity.
Take advantage of Pura Vida's luxurious changing rooms to shower and get pretty for a date night at the movies at Cherry Creek Mall. It's just a few weeks before Oscar season and the best films of the year are in the theaters. "The Monuments Men", a true story, is an action drama set in World War II , with an American task force going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from the Nazi regime and returning them to their rightful owners. With an all-star cast, the film is up for numerous awards.
Round out the weekend with a healthy dinner at True Food Kitchen http://truefoodkitchen.com. The expansive menu offers much more than vegan or vegetarian options. Carnivores will love the Street Tacos with grass fed beef, the Turkey Lasagna with spinach and ricotta, or the Roasted Chicken. Interesting vegetarian dishes, fresh juices and healthy cocktails offer choices for everyone.
Cheers to keeping the new year's resolutions in place during the weekend of love!

Jan. 3, 2012
After enjoying an eight-day holiday break, the Northern Illinois football team returned to DeKalb and resumed preparations for its Jan. 8 GoDaddy.com bowl match-up versus Arkansas State on Monday. The Huskie offense and defense worked for two hours apiece in the comfort of the DeKalb Indoor Recreation Center for the first time since Dec. 23.
The workout was the first of two that NIU will hold in DeKalb before the team travels to Mobile, Alabama Wednesday morning and takes to the practice fields of UMS-Wright Preparatory School in the warmer southern climate.
NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren, who said his team returned from the break fresh and focused, cautioned that the Huskies will have to play at a high level to defeat the Red Wolves of Arkansas State. Arkansas State, champions of the Sun Belt Conference, enter the game with a 10-2 record and a nine-game winning streak.
"They are a very good defense," Doeren said. "They'll probably be the best defensive line we've played against and they've got a linebacker who will play at the next level. They play fast and they play together. We have to execute our schemes on both sides of the ball. We've got to avoid turnovers and we've got to get some explosive plays on special teams."
The GoDaddy.com Bowl matches a pair of 10-win teams and conference champions, one of only three bowls that can make that claim. Northern Illinois is attempting to match its school record of 11 wins of a year ago while sending the 2011 seniors out as the winningest senior class in NIU history. The class is the first to play in four consecutive bowl games

Although we are still embroiled in a the excitement of a nerve-biting title race, it will not be long before this season is consigned to the record books and our attention turns instead to the World Cup Finals in Brazil. England have qualified for this year's biggest football event but for the first time, our hopes are being tinged with a healthy dose of realism.
Unlike the well-meant but generally over-flattering contention that England have a chance of doing well in the finals, most experts tend to agree that this summer will be a learning process for the England team. England manager Roy Hodgson goes into this event with expectation for him and his team at arguably the lowest, and most realistic, level for decades.
Most England managers head off to a major tournament with jingoistic calls for world domination echoing in their ears, which seems to weigh like a millstone around the neck of him and his team.
Expectations this time around are much lower. Most fans tend to realise that England are a top 15 international team, perhaps top 10 at their best. Regardless of what the ridiculous FIFA World Rankings may state.
Yet in our group at this summer's World Cup, we'll be facing two teams who are most definitely top ten calibre, Uruguay and Italy.
As such, expectation is lower, there is a general acceptance that we may be seeing our team home after the group stage this time around and that anything beyond this should be looked at as a bonus.
It is a somewhat surreal situation for an England manager to have entered the job with such low national expectations. Let's just hope Roy Hodgson doesn't do his utmost to ensure they are met.
Personally, I believe that Roy Hodgson's eventual 23-man squad will tell us all we need to know about what Hodgson's plans are for his team.
My view is that a squad picked to progress will feature several more experienced players at the expense of younger players. I'd expect Ashley Cole to perhaps get the nod for one of the left back slots, Frank Lampard in one of the midfield and perhaps Jermain Defoe in attack.
Against top class sides like Uruguay and Italy, such experience of playing at the top level is vital, but I am not convinced that this is the way Hodgson should be thinking especially as the majority of betting websites have England as 3rd favourites to win the group (odds of 9/4) and 3rd favourites to qualify from the group (odds of 8/13).
I don't see how taking this trio of players will benefit the England team long term. It may gain us a second round spot if we're lucky, where we'll undoubtedly bow out on penalties, but what do we gain as a nation from taking so many older players to the event?
Given that Hodgson has a free hit, he would be better advised to use this World Cup as a stepping stone for the younger players in the squad to gain much needed experience at the highest possible level. In my view, that will serve the England team far better for 2014 and beyond, than picking veteran players who are not getting a regular game for their club sides any longer.
There is another reason for this too. Some of England's best performances in recent times have come when we have entrusted younger players on the biggest stage. In 1986, Bobby Robson dropped his current number 9, Mark Hateley, for Peter Beardsley and by chance, found the Lineker – Beardsley partnership that took England into the quarter finals.
In 1998, a young David Beckham and Michael Owen were the catalysts as Glenn Hoddle's England progressed into the second phase, only to lose on penalties, though not before Beckham's brilliant free kick against Colombia and Owen's magnificent solo run against Argentina had England fans out of their seats.
In 2004, a young Wayne Rooney had English fans excited for the future after scoring four goals during the Euro 2004 tournament in Portugal before once again, we were sent packing on penalties.
Yet when we have picked more experienced squads for major finals, such as in 2010 and 2012, the performances were generally poor, lacklustre and lacking in a key ingredient, pace.
This is something that the new crop of England stars do have in abundance, especially when considering some of the exciting options in midfield and attack. They may lack the experience of Lampard, Cole and Defoe, but this is the perfect opportunity to gift them these experiences at a major tournament.
So with that in mind, I'd be very happy if Roy Hodgson were to announce a squad along the following lines.
Goalkeepers – Joe Hart (Manchester City), Ben Foster (WBA), John Ruddy (Norwich City)
The only decision to be made here in my view is whether Fraser Forster of Celtic deserves a spot. Given that he has approximately 5 shots a season to save for Celtic, I'd prefer players who do see regular action and behind the defences of West Brom and Norwich City, Foster and Ruddy certainly get that.
Right Backs – Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (Tottenham)
Johnson's had a fine season for Liverpool and he'll likely be Hodgson's first choice, but I feel Walker is a better option and is also, perhaps critically, better defensively.
Left Backs – Leighton Baines (Everton), Luke Shaw (Southampton)
Ashley Cole has been arguably England's most consistent player over the last 10 years but he isn't playing for Chelsea and Baines and Shaw are the future of the English game at left back. Baines has earned his chance as first choice, while Shaw is an exciting back up who could also play a more advanced role, given the quality of his delivery from wide areas.
Centre Backs – Phil Jagielka (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Phil Jones (Manchester United)
I feel Jagielka and Cahill pick themselves at the moment, so the only question is who supports them. Two things go in Smalling and Jones favour, first is who they play for, secondly is their versatility. Jones in particular can play a number of roles. My argument against including them would be that I don't believe they are a particularly strong pair of defenders. I think had Joleon Lescott played regularly, he would be on the plane but given his lack of game time and that Cardiff's Steven Caulker hasn't really done enough to warrant a place on the plane, I think Smalling and Jones will get in by default.
That said, I would like to see some young centre halves, such as West Ham's James Tomkins, Caulker and, if fit, Liverpool's Martin Kelly given a chance following the World Cup.
Wide Midfielders/Wingers – Andros Townsend (Tottenham), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Adam Lallana (Southampton)
In 45 caps for England, I am yet to see James Milner put in a performance that has made me sit up and take notice. He is certainly willing, but so am I, and unfortunately he has been about as effective as I would be for the English national team.
As such, I'd load the wide positions with youth and pace, not to mention a healthy dose of guile. Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling have been arguably the best young English talent to emerge in the Premier League this season and they deserve their chance. Townsend, although beset by injuries of late, was a huge plus for England in the autumn and Oxlade-Chamberlain is versatile, powerful and pacy as well as hugely talented. With Theo Walcott injured, I feel these four would offer a far better alternative than the likes of Ashley Young, James Milner or Aaron Lennon.
Central Midfielders – Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Ross Barkley (Everton)
I have opted for 8 midfielders in total partly because some of these players (Sterling, Oxlade- Chamberlain and Townsend) can operate in more advanced roles as part of a 4-3-3 formation but also because given Gerrard's age, and the likely conditions in Brazil, I feel we may need cover for the skipper.
I don't see how taking the likes of Lampard, Cleverley or Carrick would benefit the squad, whereas this younger squad has proven itself over the course of the season and has both pace and power in abundance, something that we've lacked in the England team in midfield of late.
Gerrard's role will be pivotal in the 'quarterback' role that Pirlo played so well for Italy in the 2012 European Championships, if Gerrard can perform for England like he has for Liverpool this season, then who knows, perhaps he could spring as big a surprise on the international scene as Liverpool have on the domestic.
Attackers – Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United), Rickie Lambert (Southampton)
Rooney and Sturridge are certainties to go to Brazil and Welbeck's ability to influence games either from wide areas, or from the bench makes him, I feel a valuable and perhaps undervalued player in the England and Manchester United squad. The final place I feel would go to Rickie Lambert, who I think has performed superbly in his four caps so far and whose aerial threat would be a real problem for teams. Plus, he is a far more robust player than Andy Carroll, who has only played less than half a season for West Ham.
And one other key thing, Lambert can take penalties too. Which given our past record, may just be a useful asset to have in the squad.
Will Roy be brave enough to pick a squad as young and inexperienced as this? Who knows, but for the future of English football, I hope he does. We've nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

Back in the good old days, before the dawning of reality TV and before people battled it out to extend their 15 minutes of fame by eating a slimy bug, dating in the dark, or giving birth to 27 children at the same time; movie stars were legitimate movie stars, role models were role models for a reason, class meant something other than what you had to pass in order to hang onto your driver's license, and people were arrested by a woman's stunning looks rather than just being arrested. Serene, regal women such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly were the standard women aspired to…men escorted women to the dance floor instead of chasing them around the dance floor with pelvic thrusts that rivaled John Travolta's in Flashdance…and ladies dressed themselves in manners, dignity, and self respect rather than the bare (the operative word here being BARE) minimum of clothing that is legally required to step out in public and not go to jail or get their picture splashed on the front page of Perez Hilton.
Yep. We've come a long way, baby.
For a woman making her mark in the world in the year 2010, it can be confusing to know where to look for inspiration. After all, the "role models" that are currently bathing in the limelight in all their head shaving, crotch flashing, drug infused glory are hardly the stilettos we want to fill. When the alcohol monitoring bracelet has replaced the ankle bracelet as a chic fashion statement, and sex tapes are the new home videos, and rolling papers and cocaine have replaced gum and lip gloss as the "never leave home without" items in a lady's purse (or her "friend's purse," as the case may be), where does the modern woman look for guidance on class and style? And when Paris Hilton is the year 2010's answer to Cinderella, what's a girl to do? It's enough to make a modern-day princess wanna turn in her glass slippers and key to the palace and call it a day.
Not so fast, pretty lady.
Before you decide the wicked stepmother and the equally wicked stepsisters are a better alternative to Dina, Allie and Lindsey; step away from the leggings and spray tan and take a look at my handy little list of "How to Be a Princess in a Paris Hilton World":
1) Less is not always more. Before you slide into your micro-mini and tube top, ask yourself: "What does this outfit say about my personality?" Before you throw "Don't judge a book by its cover" at me, think about this: When is the last time you went out to the club on a Friday night and DIDN'T judge a book by its barely-there spandex cover? Look at the lovely Kim Kardashian and her equally lovely sisters. They always look sexy AND classy. (Yes, it's possible to be both at the same time.) Or Angelina Jolie. Arguably the most beautiful woman in the world…and does she let it all hang out? Sure, she'll work the strategically placed slit or the subtle peek at skin, but she always does it in a way that leaves something to the imagination. And if you leave something to the imagination…you become the girl he can't imagine his life without.
2) The mouth of a sailor is not cute. Even if it's adorned with the most fabulous Dior lipgloss on the shelf. Gutter mouth belongs just where its name suggests…the gutter. And do you want to be in his gutter-fabulous thoughts…or his wildest dreams? Your choice - but I'd rather leave the four-letter words at home in favor of a four-star date. You are too much of a lady to litter your language with @#$%. So leave the detonation of the F-bomb at home and get the chemistry exploding instead…with a no muss, no cuss attitude that's sure to turn his head.
3) A hot mess is still a mess. No job, no money, overdue bills, you've set up camp at your parents house and all the while slamming 'em back like someone told you beer was going extinct tomorrow…girl, no. If you're getting high all the time on anything other than life…how do you expect to find success when all you're making out of your life is a mess? Get it together, lady! A modern-day princess would never waste time with the court jester when she knows she's worthy of a prince. Nor would she get pulled over in her horse-drawn carriage for driving in the wrong lane while smoking everything but the kitchen sink and blame it on the a-a-a-a-al-co-hol. Your destiny is not going to be found at the bottom of a bottle. Go out, have fun with your friends, blow off some steam in a civilized fashion but have enough class to know when to put down the glass! Unless you plan to be viewed as a drinking buddy, a dealer, or a big, HOT MESS…realize when you're walking the line and stay on the legal side of it. Yes, we've all had our nights when we went out and got a little crazy…but there comes a point and a certain age when it is no longer acceptable to have more mug shots than you do Facebook friends. Know when to say when and know when to play and when to walk away. Know your limits. You were meant for greatness…but you'll never live up to your full potential as long as life is one endless party. Because it might be your party and yes, you can cry if you want to…but who wants to cry when you were born to fly?
At the end of the day, if you want to be a princess in a Paris Hilton world, you've got to stop looking to everyone else for your identity. The only face you'll find your true identity in is your own. People and US magazine might be fun to read, but you will not find the meaning of life between their pages. (Believe me, I've read enough of them to know.) You have a destiny and a purpose that no one else on this earth can fulfill. How's THAT for one-of-a-kind? No heiress or actress or model can come CLOSE to that. And while it might be fun to imagine what life would be like in someone else's shoes…there is NO ONE who can work your stilettos better than you! Why be a 10-cent copy when you were born a priceless masterpiece? A true modern-day princess doesn't just talk the talk and hide behind smokescreens…she walks the walk in front of AND behind the scenes. So give those glass slippers a shine and start walkin', lady. It's time to come into your own and claim your throne.
And then watch your Happily Ever After come to life.
