okay im 15 from puerto rico.. ive been in about for or five teams already and have been unsuccessful though i consider myself to be a good player no one on the teams notices it.. i can shoot i can dribble and i am of average height my natural position would be SG.. on many ocastions ive been asked to play posotions like PG and i feel uncomfortabe on them. i know there is a lot to improve on my game but how can i get other players and coaches to notice that i can play and at a high level cuz seriously its frustrating??? :S
You shouldn't worry about impressing people. Don't try and prove something, because players like that become selfish, and take the fun out of the sport they love.
Just worry about improving your game every day, and working hard, in games, practices, or individually.
Get the never quit attitude.
A coach will always notice a player who can play multiple positions, can play defense, can shoot, and can run a team. You should work on your shooting and try to adapt at being a PG as well. That way, you'll be a combo guard, and get more playing time, which you can try to do your best and perform hard, offensively and defensively, every day and night.
I use to wonder how could I impress friends, coaches, and teammates. But, after awhile, I just used them as motivation to work harder than before, and it's worked out for me. I've impressed them, I'm better than most of them, and it's sort of funny how they respect me so much now when I'm focused.
But, I can't stop trying to work hard just because they like me as a player and what I bring. I still work on my game daily to improve, and that's what you need to do.
Basically, just practice as hard as you can, when you can. Play AAU ball, school ball, and work diligently on and off the court, during the season and in the off season. Show that you're dedicated to being the best that you can be, and all your hard work will pay off. It's a process. You can sprint during a whole mile, because you'll get tired. Take a steady pace, that will put you in the best position to excel and win the race. Think about that as you practice. You may not see results the day after you practice a certain move, but if you practice over time, then I guarantee you will see a positive change in your game.
I hope I helped you man.
Play everday and never give up and give your hardest all-day.
I agree with what everyone else has said and that is every day, work hard, and do your best in everything.
Okay, Luis, speaking from an older player like me and one who has coached players, Coaches like to see that you are coachable, can work within a team concept and will sacrifice for the good of the team. Having versatility and being able to play multiple positions is a plus. Show the coaches the strengths of your game while in private, you work on your weaknessess. For me when I was in high school, I was a better than average offensive player but I lacked quickness as a defender. I worked on my footwork and became a solid defender, often being asked to guard the other team's best perimeter player in my junior year. Furthermore, being unselfish (by all means, take your shot when you're open and in rhythm), playing good defense, hustling and fighting for rebounds will make a good impression. My proudest acheivement in basketball is when my coach in my sophomore season gave me the "Team Before Self" award. I have tried to instill the same concept in my young son who is 5 and is just learning the game. Mold your game to the concept of whatever team you play on and ask yourself, 'What can I do to make this the team better?" Sometimes your team may need you to score, other times to be a willing passer or to guard someone who may be a bad matchup for you because other players are in foul trouble, etc. Keep that in mind and I am sure you will make a lasting impression on your coaches..Good Luck, Scott
thanks ppl... i really needed some advice
keep trying and good luck to you and your leauges.
"Effort will never come to you, you have to keep trying and recieve i for yourself" My basketball coach said to me, one day at practice.
Great players don't quit, but losers do- Kentuckyfan1
thanks ppl... i really needed some advice

The Red Cross only collects monetary aid for people in the Gulf, so lots of individuals are collecting supplies that they will transport themselves. But that can be dangerous.
Truckers are having a hard time in the Gulf. Chuck Brown is from Arlington, Texas and he just got back.
"It's pretty bad, I've never seen anything like that," Brown said.
He also said the area is hard to drive through.
"Lots and lots of buses going out and military convoys going in," Brown said.
This is his experience in the Gulf: "Trees, lots of broken down cars, billboards, cell phones act up cause all the towers are down, lots of drivers that aren't used to driving just getting out of town," Brown said.
But all of this won't stop Blaine Bailey.
"We know we can get actual supplies to actual people who need it, because the person is from the area," Bailey said.
He is collecting supplies at his office and is getting a friend to drive them to Biloxi. His business is building a brand new warehouse. Right now it's under construction and it's empty. That makes it a great place to keep the supplies the truck will pick up. He says they are prepared for the trip.
"There's nowhere to buy any food, there's nowhere to buy the things you need," Bailey said.
This is the same thing that truck driver Chuck Brown went through on his recent trip. He brought his own food and water, and slept in his truck. And of course, a problem we all have, gas prices.
Brown says all the volunteers planning to head down there should be as careful as possible.
You can bring supplies to Blaine Bailey at his office located at Tranter Grey Media Group at 4075 Evans to Locke Road. He is collecting things like bath items, medical supplies and even dog food.

Why Everything You Used to Know About Travel Is Wrong
Rudy Maxa
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Traveling has undergone some big changes in recent years. Now travel journalist Rudy Maxa provides tips to save money, maximize pleasure, and minimize hassles. He offers suggestions about where you should go right now, how to save money on hotels, why you should stop hoarding those frequent flyer miles, and why you should never ride a camel named Katherine in Khiva, Uzbekistan.
Known as public radio's "Savvy Traveler," Maxa is host and executive producer of Rudy Maxa's World, an Emmy Award-winning public television travel series.
Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Kansas City Public Library.
Rudy Maxa recommended several websites, travel organizations, and apps during his presentation. Here is his list of suggested resources:
Please note that inclusion on this list does not constitute endorsement by the Kansas City Public Library.
- MileValue.com, ThePointsGuy.com, and LoyaltyLobby.com all specialize in ways to accrue frequent flyer miles & hotel points.
- Fortnighter.com provides trip planning to specific destinations using travel journalists who live in those destinations.
- ITASoftware.com is a great reference to check airfares, though you cannot buy tickets directly via this site. Google.com/flights uses ITA Software.
- To bid on rental cars or hotel rooms, choose the bid option on Priceline.com. Remember to deduct the taxes and fees that will be added to your final total before making your bid (25%-30% under retail).
- For vacation rentals HomeAway.com allows you to register for properties in the US and Europe, VRBO.com is a good, worldwide site for home and condo rentals, RoomORama.com is especially good for properties in Europe and Asia, and FlipKey.com (and its UK partner HolidayLettings.co.uk) allows you to compare the cost of rentals against local hotel prices.
- AirBnB.com is for apartment, condo, and vacation home rentals offered by owners. With AirBnB, your money is not released to the landlord until 24 hours after your arrival, and about 40% of rentals involve being a "housemate" with the owner.
- Want cruise lines to bid for your business? Check out CruiseCompete.com. Two recommended companies for river cruising in Europe and Asia are Viking River Cruises and AMA Waterways.
- Use the Hotel Tonight app for same-day, discounted hotel reservations.

Penn State student arrested over WMD
(NEWSER) – A Penn State freshman from Moscow was arrested on charges including possessing weapons of mass destruction and risking a catastrophe after cops found a bomb and explosives-related materials in his apartment. Police say they found the bomb-making materials while investigating a suspected marijuana grow-op at the home of 18-year-old Vladislav Miftakhov, who allegedly told them he planned to "blow things up," CNNreports.

We have 27 minutes until Shabbat, and we need to check in to the Costa Mesa Hilton, register at the LimmudLA desk, unpack and get three children and two adults showered and into our Friday finest before candle lighting. All this while my husband, Alex, and I are still shaking off the tension of three hours -- three hours -- on the 405. The hotel lobby is chaotic, but it's an excited kind of mania, because no one here really knows what to expect from LimmudLA. Yet we're all aware that we're about to become part of something momentous: Southern California's initiation into this potentially transformative Jewish festival/Shabbaton/retreat.
More than 100 volunteers and one paid professional worked insanely long hours over the past two years to bring together more than 600 Jews from every denomination, age group and area of Southern California for 262 study sessions, 21 films, two concerts, a comedy show, an off-Broadway play and countless hours of connecting.
Over the past few years, Limmud has spread from its original location in England, where it began 27 years ago, to 30 communities around the world -- Istanbul, Johannesburg, Basel, Berlin, Sydney, New York -- brought to life by an organically grown volunteer army in each location.
So two years after conference co-chairs, attorney Shep Rosenman and chronic community activist Linda Fife, dreamed of bringing Limmud to Los Angeles, here we are, arriving, chaos and all, for day one.
5:25 p.m.
I make the candle-lighting window, but the 405 hasn't yet worn off, and the schedule is 93 pages long, so I'm feeling overwhelmed. I try to figure out which services to go to. Liberal Egalitarian with Debbie Friedman, Jewish folk singer extraordinaire? Traditional Chasidic? Traditional Egalitarian? I end up bopping around between them and don't get much out of any of them.
Dinner is raucous, and when Rosenman stands on a chair to welcome everyone to the first annual LimmudLA, the ballroom erupts into cheers.
He offers advice that would have served me well for services: Limmud is about choices. Own your choices.
But I still haven't learned my lesson as, after dinner, I slip out of "Feminophobia in Religion" after just a few minutes and sneak into a back row of "Guerilla Girls of the Talmud," which sounded like it would have been really great if I had heard the whole thing.
There are more sessions scheduled, but Alex and I head into LimmudLA Cafe, stocked with snacks and drinks. In one corner, three tables are pushed together, and people are singing Shabbat songs, telling stories, sharing some schnapps. Most of us are schmoozing. As I head off to bed around midnight -- while the place is still going strong -- I think about choices. Tomorrow, no more sampling, I decide. Tomorrow I commit.
Saturday, 9 a.m.
While I usually go to an Orthodox shul on Shabbat morning, today I'm going secular. Limmud, after all, is about stepping out of your comfort zone.
I head into a session about secular spirituality -- Judaism without a supernatural God -- headed by Mitchell Silver, a philosophy professor at the University of Massachusetts in Boston and head of the Boston Workmen's Circle, a Yiddish secularist society.
Not the venue where I would expect to have my most spiritual moment in a long time. Religion, Silver begins, creates a sense of connectedness and gives meaning to a life that might otherwise be vulnerable to despair. If you are connected to God, who is connected to the entire universe, you feel connected to the totality of all things.
Now, this may be Philosophy of Religion 101, but Silver's elegantly constructed articulation went straight to my soul.
The next step for Silver, as an atheist, is achieving a similar level of connectedness without having to rely on the existence of a supernatural being that defies human logic -- something I, too, constantly struggle with. As a Jew, Silver connects to our shared history and culture and bonds with the rest of the world through a commitment to creating a just world for all. His reliance on tikkun olam rang a little hollow for me, but what worked was his description of how the rituals, narrative and calendar of Judaism can have meaning even without God. When he prays, for example, he is expressing his spirituality by singing with other people -- not by believing he is talking to God. He prefaces a blessing with "as our ancestors said," transforming it from a religious act to homage to his history.
Ironically -- and Silver and I talked about this later, and he wasn't displeased -- he sold me more on the idea of why having a God concept works than he did on the need to eject God from the formula.
What stuck with me most, and what would stick with me the rest of the conference, was this new way of delving deeper into an idea I thought I had down a long time ago -- the idea of connectedness.
Saturday, 10:50 a.m.
Ezra, my 9 year old, runs up to me, looking frantic, with more to say than the "Hi Mommy, bye Mommy," I've been getting since he and his friends established dominion over the hotel corridors.
"Mommy, Mommy, are we going to Limmud next year?"
"I don't know yet. We just got here. Why? Do you want to?"
"Uh, ye-ah," he answers me, as if it's the dumbest question he's ever heard.
In a flash, he's gone again.
Saturday, 11 a.m.
For the rest of the day, I keep coming back to the idea of connectedness -- my connection vertically through time, my connection horizontally to Jews everywhere. So that when Clive Lawton, one of the founders of the first Limmud in England, masterfully tells of Abraham's evolution in relationship to God, I feel connected to Abraham, to God and to Clive Lawton. With long silver hair and a British accent, Lawton evokes Gandalf the Wizard from Lord of the Rings, a part he serves well among this crowd of Limmud devotees.
Later in the day, I explore the Leviticus holiness code with Deborah Lipstadt, Holocaust professor at Emory University. In a session on the Mishnaic sages Hillel and Shammai's approach to education, Avraham Infeld, former president of International Hillel, doesn't so much teach the texts as guide us in unpacking them ourselves.
I am bleary-eyed by the end of Shabbat, but satisfied. I owned my choices.
A fear that I am missing something awesome still lingers, however, since about a dozen things are offered at once. There is an interesting psychology to this over-scheduling approach: It engenders a frantic need to get the most out of everything, because by making one choice you are giving up other equally good choices. You can't help feeling there is so much more to learn.
It also fosters connection. At the LimmudLA Cafe and in the corridors, there is one question always floating around: "So, what did you go to, and how was it?"
Saturday, 6:35 p.m.
In a chilly courtyard, drummers beat on their bongos to get the attention of the millers and schmoozers, and the guitarists begin to strum out a melody. Soon, everyone is focused, and Yehuda Solomon of the band Moshav begins Havdalah to mark the end of Shabbat. A kid holds up a multi-wicked candle, and sprigs of rosemary are passed around -- a bright light and a sweet scent to usher in our new week. When Solomon transitions into Debbie Friedman's ya-na-na Havdalah melody, everyone's arms find the shoulders of whoever is next to them. As I am pulled by swaying to either side of me, I close my eyes. That doesn't stop the tears from welling as I hear and feel everyone -- for the first time since LimmudLA started -- standing in the same place, doing the same thing, at the same time.
The kids lead us in "Eliyahu Hanavi," which they practiced all day with Solomon, and the emotion of the moment swells into ecstasy. Soon we're all singing and dancing -- the Chasid from Jerusalem, the kid with the gelled-up Mohawk, the tunic-clad vegans with nose rings and the suit-wearing lawyers.
This, I think, is what Mitchell Silver meant this morning when he talked about connectedness. It doesn't matter if it is because of God or because of people. This is a religious moment.
Saturday, 11:57 p.m.
The Peter Himmelman concert has just ended. His bluesy rock and his relentless wit as he riffed on the Limmudness of it all tapped right into the moment. He waxed sarcastic about the dignity of all, the liberal egalitarian social justice tikkun olam stuff. He prefaced half his songs with a winking, "This next one derives from a kabbalistic idea ..."
But where was everyone? There weren't more than 50 people in the large ballroom.
It was one of a few instances where LimmudLA fell victim to its own enthusiastic over-scheduling.
Peter Himmelman was preceded by alternative pop-rocker Jill Sobule and Mystic Sideshow, the alter ego of Robby Helperin of the Simcha Orchestra and Spotlight Music. While the concert was going on -- and it started and ended late -- the Israeli-Palestinian comedy troupe was performing, there was also ballroom dancing, a talk about Israel on campus, three films, a Chasidic Melave Malka sing-along and the bar and the cafe were open.Peter took it all in stride, and since he was told to do a "truncated" show, he used the word "truncated" as many times as he could, enunciating for effect.
But such glitches were few and easily forgiven. The weekend went remarkably smoothly for a first-time endeavor run almost entirely by volunteers. With only one paid person on LimmudLA's staff, volunteers saw to every detail, from what we ate, to what we learned, to where we slept, to all the financing.
All the presenters were volunteers, too. Not only did world-class teachers not get paid, but most of them paid their own way, from travel to conference fees.
I knew this before I came, and it didn't make sense to me.
Now, I get it.
Sunday, 8:30 a.m.
Actor Ron Rifkin on a panel with Hollywood manager Joan Hyler
It's breakfast time, and at table in the corner of Cafe LimmudLA, Ron Rifkin is sitting talking about his Jewish journey. Ron plays a brother (Saul Holden) on "Brothers and Sisters," and was Arvin Sloane, head of the bad spies, on "Alias." But today he isn't an actor; he's a Jew.
He was raised in New York by Orthodox, immigrant parents. His mother had 14 siblings. He tells us about how he sobbed as he slipped a quarter into the subway slot on Shabbat for the first time at the end of his teenage years, and about how no one helped him when, after his mother died recently at 96, he went to shul to say Kaddish and couldn't remember how to wrap the tefillin around his fingers.
He chants the first few words of his bar mitzvah portion for us -- Noah -- and discovers that two other men at the table have the same portion.
"That's the tie, that's the bond," he says. "There is a connection we have that we all understand, and no one can take that away from us."
He pulls a knitted green yarmulke out of his pocket, sent to him by a fan: "Sometimes, fans come up to me on the subway, and they say, 'You make us proud.' And I know exactly who they are and what they're saying."
Sunday, 10 a.m.
It's time for me to totally Limmud-out -- I'm going to Bibliyoga. Stretching room is scarce as the conference room fills up. But like a jigsaw puzzle, we move together through downward facing dog and a modified crow handstand. Together we use our minds and our bodies to explore the Jewish texts on breath and spirit, and we end with a Shalom mantra and the vibrating tone of the shofar. It's hokey, but I go with it. At a minimum I got in some good stretches -- without kicking anyone, or being kicked myself. That much connection I could do without.
Sunday, 11:24 a.m.
I'm wandering the hall with my schedule in hand, trying to figure out what to do next. Jewish marketing? Caring for the sick? Keeping weight off while keeping Shabbat? Poetry? Song writing? Russian Jews? War and peace in the Middle East, with one of the world's experts on the topic? A friend corals me in the hall and tells me I have to go to Peter Pitzele's Bibliodrama workshop.
This is from a friend who is not into crunchy Judaism. He likes his tradition neat.
Pitzele, a professional educator and author, asks all of us to choose an object from the Bible we want to be. A man named Aaron says he is Moses' staff. Pitzele then interviews Aaron, who gamely tells us that he was crafted from a branch on the Tree of Knowledge, blown out of the Garden of Eden and carried by Abraham until he got lost during Abraham's hurried departure from Egypt after that whole wife/sister Sarah episode. He was found by Bedouins and eventually landed in the hand of Moses and helped usher the Jews from bondage.
Is any of this factual? No. Is it engagingly constructed modern-day personal midrash that requires both imaginer and listener to jump into the story as never before? Remarkably so.
"Once you are in first person within the Bible, you become invested in it and deeply connected to it," Pitzele tells us.
Sunday, 12:48 p.m.
I'm so pumped I feel like I've had six cups of coffee. But I've only had two cups -- both decaf.
I grab my lunch -- Limmud is not about the food -- and get ready for an afternoon of high intellect. Arna Poupko Fisher, a closet comedienne who also teaches Bible and Law at the University of Cincinnati, challenges us to really consider what are -- if there are -- non-negotiable Jewish beliefs. Mitchell Silver -- who Fischer finds out midway through is a philosophy professor -- brings thoroughly thought-out ideas to the discussion. Since all the presenters are also participants, you never know which expert is sitting next to you in a session or at the dinner table.
Next I cut out early from "12 Steps + 10 Commandments = 1 Soul" for a quick brain rest and then opt for a presentation on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Greg Bearman, a Jet Propulsion Laboratory imaging expert, figured out how to use spectroscopic imaging technology to recover more of the seemingly illegible ancient script than had ever been seen before. Bearman and his wife, Sheila Spiro, used their own time and money to research and publish the results, finally getting the attention of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
With the Jewish past now in sharp relief, I drop into a session to contemplate the Jewish future, for 15 minutes, and then jump into the present as I meet up with my kids, who have taken a swimming break with dad. The children's programming hasn't been quite as stimulating as the adults', but my kids are having a great time. They participated in some kid-oriented sessions and have reaped the bounty of the art room, and will bring home candlesticks, a challah cover, a Havdalah spice box and various painted wooden stars, pomegranates and hamsas (the Sephardic hand symbol for good luck).Sunday, 7 p.m.
It is time for "All of Jewish History in One Hour," with David Solomon.
The largest of the meeting rooms is packed, and butcher-block paper stretches across every wall -- one millennium per wall. Solomon, an Australian who lives in Israel, holds the tip of his marker up against the first wall and runs -- really runs -- down it's length. He scratches 10 vertical spikes across the long line he's just drawn, and sets out to fill in the timeline for Judaism's first thousand years, starting with Abraham and getting roughly to David. His energy is exhausting, his knowledge and ability to present striking. He is more performance artist than lecturer as he runs around the room sharing details and stories. With each new millennium we swivel, face another wall, and he never stops talking -- really, really quickly.
Solomon finishes to a standing ovation, but the crowd lingers, surrounded by our entire history. My ancestors, I think, are each one tiny dot somewhere on those lines.
Suddenly the "chain of tradition" is no longer abstract. It is a hastily drawn scratch of permanent marker on yards and yards of white paper that surrounds a group of Jews in a hotel meeting room in Costa Mesa, in 2008.
Sunday, 9 p.m.
Singer Debbie Friedman, a Limmud regular around the world, taps straight into the energy as soon as she starts her concert. From her soulful "Mi Sheberach" to the raucous dancing of "Miriam's Song," she has kids and adults moved and moving. For anyone who has been to a Debbie Friedman concert, that is usually how it goes. But for much of Limmud -- heavy on the Modern Orthodox participants, disturbingly light on the Reform -- Debbie Friedman is brand new.
Next up is the band Moshav, and their reggae/rock/folk music in English/Hebrew/Arabic brings the whole crowd to their feet.
Halfway through, the band calls up a man named Sagi Salomon (right in photo) and his girlfriend, Rachel Bello (left). Sagi takes the mike and addresses Rachel, saying she was the one who made Judaism an important part of his life, which is why he's going to do what he's about to do at LimmudLA. He then gets down on his knee and asks her to marry him, handing her a silver band engraved with the Hebrew words, "I betroth you to me forever" -- a purchase he made just that day at the LimmudLA Shuk vendors' fair. She shouts "Yes, Yes, Yes," into the microphone, the Moshav Band strikes up "Siman Tov U'Mazel Tov," and Rachel and Sagi are lifted up on chairs, floating above the crowd.
Monday, 12:40 a.m.
I'm exhausted, but I don't want to sleep, because I'm afraid I'll miss something.
I'm too tired for the comedy show or any of the late-night film screenings. In the LimmudLA Cafe, a table of young Russians are singing folksongs. At the bar, there is a big game of Taboo going on, and several tables seem to keep breaking into song. Downstairs outside the ballroom, an impromptu Israeli disco has broken out near the folk-dancing sound equipment.
But I go to our room, knowing that in the morning I have the impossible task of writing this, to communicate just how energizing this has been.
Monday, 9 a.m.
There are more sessions and performances this morning, but things are winding down. I am sitting in the LimmudLA Cafe with my laptop.
The organizers have told me Limmud is meant to be a year-round endeavor that transforms the community. I don't know yet how that will happen.
What I do know is that 600 Jews are going back to their communities pumped up about our culture, our traditions and our bonds. More of us know more about each other, more of us are part of something bigger. So when another ridiculously hard-working cadre of volunteers brings us LimmudLA 2009, my guess is there will be 1,000 people, maybe more.
I know I'm going to be back.
And trust me, I've got connections. Lots and lots of connections.

— It's a boy!
The first baby born at Wayne Memorial Hospital's New Beginnings Birthing Suites, Joseph William Yorks, arrived in the world on Jan. 1 at approximately 6:19 pm.
The first child for parents Susan and Joshua Yorks of Waymart weighed in at 7 pounds, 4.5 ounces and stretched 19 inches long.
Little Joseph was welcomed by New Beginnings staff with a "First Baby of 2013" basket full of items both practical and fun — from onesies to toys. Both parents admitted Joseph did not come into the world without some hard work, more than a few hours labor, but they were very happy to have a healthy newborn.
The baby was delivered by Dr. Thomas O'Brien, a board-certified obstetrician with the Women's Health Center, Honesdale, part of Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The intention of a property tax increase that would benefit the Snowmass Wildcat Fire Protection District is being questioned by some firefighters now that the board of directors is considering creating a new position.
Firefighter Jake Andersen's column in this week's Snowmass Sun takes issue with the consideration of the new position, after the department campaigned last fall to pass a "no growth" ballot measure approving a mill-levy increase to be collected by the fire district.
"The funds that would be achieved from this are not funds that are going to grow the fire department, add any positions or build a new station or any of that," Fire Marshal John Mele told the Sun in October. "It's basically just to try and make up for lost revenues over the past four years."
The voter-approved increase would raise the fire district taxes collected by as much as $800,000 over the next two years. The mill-levy increase was proposed because of an expected drop in property values this year. However, because the department earned some funds by fighting wildland fires in other areas last year and saw revenue in other areas, as well, the board of directors chose not to collect the full amount of the increase approved, and talk of this position resurfaced.
Chief Steve Sowles said he has approached the board in the past about creating a position and setting up a succession plan for his role when funds became available. Mele, who is also deputy chief, is 62 and will likely retire in the next few years. Sowles says he plans to retire from the fire service once he decides to leave his position so that he can focus on a scholarship foundation he owns.
The new position would be an operations training officer and would be open to people currently employed by the department.
"The firefighters aren't going to leapfrog to my position," Sowles said. "It takes a long time to get where I am. ... Fire departments like to hire the chief from within."
Sowles said in 2010, when he asked the board to consider hiring this position, firefighters voiced their opinion then and were given a 4 percent cost-of-living increase instead.
For Andersen, who helped campaign to get the mill-levy increase passed, "it feels like a slap in the face," he said.
"This is supposed to be a no-growth measure, and even if he is choosing to use the surplus funds that were found to fund that position, I feel that even doing it on a technicality like that is misleading our public," Andersen said.
Richard Collins, a professor at University of Colorado Law School, said challenges must be made very shortly after elections. A challenge in courts probably would not stand, he said, because the language of the ballot measure did not say how the money would be spent.
"My offhand feeling is that a challenge that would try to enjoin them from spending the money as they promised is not going to succeed, that the courts wouldn't entertain that," Collins said. "Since it's not on the ballot and there's no established procedure for doing that, I doubt it would work."
The position has not been budgeted yet. Sowles said ideally he would like to see it filled in June.

MEMBERS FORM SUPREME COURT REFUSES REVIEW F. R.R.C. Another petition to stop the Tribal Office Complex is being circulated. Those opposing it have formed a political pressure group calling themselves the Flathead Reservation Resource Council (FRRC.) Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, a former Councilman, claims the group will "ride herd" on the council, although he said they will not necessarily oppose everything the Council does. Swaney claimed the group would support council actions they agreed with. He also claimed his group had 26 people present at a recent meeting and would have the necessary 650 signatures to bring the issue to a vote.by the end of the month. Swaney asked the council to stop the complex because he felt the construction costs could not be kept within the Federal monies available. The Council took actions to continue the project after Swaney made his presentation at the regular Friday Council meeting. However, the Council Vice Chairman, Vic Stinger, said his feeling was that if there were not enough federal funds to cover the project he would rather kill it than leave something out. FRRC also plans an executive appleal through the BIA. It is now law. By refusing and appeal, the U.S. supreme Court has allowed to stand a U.S. District Court decision that said non-Indians living along Flathead Lake within the reservation have the right to construct docks and wharves even though the Tribes contend they trespass upon the lakebed which is held in trust by the Federal government for the tribes Tribes as part of the 1855 Hellgate Treaty. The denial of a request for a Writ of Certiorari came November 1, without comment. Still undecided at this time is the question of how far this right extends. The reasonable limit of how far a person can build up his property with fill out onto the lakebed such as James Namen at Jim's Marine in Poison did, is still undetermined. Namen's 16 foot wide causeway extending into the lake to develop a commercial enterprise on the lakebed resulted in a U.S. District Court suit against Namen by the Tribes. Judge Jameson held that Namen's property rights include access to the lake and "the right to wharf out of navigable water." Jameson said, "Congress must have intended that fee patents (to reservation lands)... include the costomary rights of access and wharfage. The fact that Congress did not expressly delineate these rights does not negate their existence. It was not necessary for Congress to specify every incident of ownership which accompanies a patent to land on an Indian reservation." The Tribes had insisted that the 1855 treaty gave them exclusive right to the lake below the high water mark. They questioned whether such structures could be built "without consent of the Tribe or the Secretary of Interior and without express Congressional authorization." Namen contended that as sucessor to Antoine Morais, the Indian allottee, he had obtained riparian rights of access and wharfage.

The Difference between Psoriasis and Eczema, Rosacea, and Couperose Skin
Which skin condition do you have?
Do you have areas of red skin, perhaps some dry, itchy skin or even blisters or rash? There are several skin conditionsEczema and Psoriasis as well as Rosacea and Couperosewhich share a number of characteristics and which are, in some cases, indistinguishable from each other.
The two most closely related skin conditions are Psoriasis and Eczema. Lets start by looking at the differences between Eczema and Psoriasis.*
Click to Enlarge
Eczema vs. Psoriasis
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, dry, cracked and itchy skin. In addition to hot, red skin, those with Eczema may also develop crusty sores, thick skin and pimple-like eruptions. The skin may crust over and ooze, or it may become so dry and cracked that bleeding occurs. Most people with Eczema develop the problem during childhood.
Psoriasis appears as red, itchy, scaly patches of dry skin. There are a variety of forms of Psoriasis, the most prevalent of which is Plaque Psoriasis. The slightly elevated, red patches of skin associated with Psoriasis are known as plaques. These often start out as small bumps which worsen and may later be covered in white scales. Skin scaling (when these white scales begin to slough off) is common.
Eczema and Psoriasis are easily confused because they share a defining characteristic, the inflammation of the skin. What are the significant differences between Psoriasis and Eczema?
Eczema sufferers experience extremely dry, itchy and flaky skin, but this skin condition can also cause eczema pimple-like bumps that may ooze. These fluid-filled bumps do not occur in Psoriasis. In fact, a major difference between psoriasis and eczema is that Psoriasis is never moist; instead, it produces scaly, silver patches of dead skin that continually shed.
Psoriasis is often linked to genetics; this condition is caused or exacerbated by
health issues (there is a link between Psoriasis and Diabetes, for example). Eczema, on the other hand, flares up in response to
factors, including animal dander, food allergies or exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals.
Eczema usually begins during childhood (roughly 80% of cases of eczema begin before the age of 5) whereas Psoriasis typically originates in adulthood.
Psoriasis prefers tougher skin (such as that on the knees and elbows) while Eczema favors sensitive areas like the backs of knees and the inside of elbows.

Couperose vs. Rosacea
"Couperose" is a term used to describe skin that has broken or dilated capillaries. Skin that is Couperose is chronically red and flushed in appearance, particularly on the neck, cheeks and nose. Rosacea is an inflammation of the skin that is marked by redness, dilated blood vessels andin some casespapules and pustules. Those with Rosacea might experience a red nose, red cheeks or blushing.
Couperose skin and Rosacea can appear very similar. The following list represents the differences between Couperose and Rosacea:
Couperose skin is usually found on those with very pale complexions living in cold, harsh climates. The skin appears dry and tight and is not inflamed. Meanwhile, Rosacea is marked by excessive inflammation, facial flushing and bumps on the skin.
Rosacea may be accompanied by a burning, stinging sensation that is similar to sunburn. The skin may simply feel warm. Couperose skin does not experience this sensation.
Skin that is Couperose is not subjected to the acne-like pimples that are found in some cases of Rosacea.
Some Rosacea sufferers may experience Couperose skin as a symptom.
Other Similar Skin Conditions
Rosacea Vs. Psoriasis
: When there are symptoms of Psoriasis on the face, it can sometimes be mistaken for Rosacea. Although both conditions are characterized by redness and inflammation, Psoriasis will produce scaly patches of dry, silver skin while Rosacea will appear more as redness, flushing andin some casesacne-like eruptions.
Rosacea Vs Eczema
: There are times when Rosacea may seem similar to Eczema. However, while Eczema produces sores or blisters that may weep a clear fluid, Rosacea sufferers are more likely to experience papules or pus-filled pustules. This is the main difference between Eczema and Rosacea.
Like Eczema, Rosacea often responds to environmental stressors (allergens, spicy food) but it is also caused by internal factors (as is Psoriasis).

September 2, 2005
Thousands fled the city of Biloxi, including another family with roots here in our area. News 12 has more on how the Travis family is coping.
Kevin Travis, his wife and two kids consider themselves lucky. And here's what lucky means, they don't know if their house is still standing, and their future is somewhat unknown.
Kevin Travis spends each day glued to television news, watching the destruction surrounding his home.
"It's different when you see it on TV. That was the Grayhound, or you tell the kids daddy worked down that street there," Kevin said.
Travis is watching from a safe distance, his father's home in Grovetown, a welcome safehouse for his wife and two kids.
"I'm holding out hope but at the same time I have my wife, she pretty much thinks it's all gone," Kevin said.
For now, three-year-old Savion and his older brother Anthony pass the time with toys, a playful spirit that's contagious.
It's somewhat of a new beginning for the entire family. So the plan is to restart Anthony's second grade education on Tuesday in hopes of keeping this straight A student on track.
"We know they've already been through a traumatic experience and we don't want entering school to be another one. So we'll do everything we can to make them comfortable and welcome," said Joyce Long, River Ridge Elementary Principal.
Going back to school, a welcome relief for a family trying to cope.
"I don't want them to see us get worried and frustrated because once they see me get worried then they should worry. I'm trying to hold it, but…it's tough," Travis said.
Kevin Travis doesn't know how long his family will be living in Grovetown. He says it could be a couple months. And they evacuated before the storm last Sunday packing just enough for three days. Now they fear everything they left behind is gone.

Who's Missing The Mark On Emissions?
The world aviation sector is well on its way to meeting the planned fuel-efficiency targets set for 2020. Despite the Aviation Week Leading Edge column to the contrary (AW&ST Sept. 14-27, p. 19), ICCAIA, IATA, IBAC and GAMA agree that the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) fuel-efficiency goals are within reach and supported by the aviation industry's strong record to date and commitments going forward.
Four industry groups wrote this collective statement on fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations (ICCAIA) is the global organization of aerospace industry associations. The International Air Transport Association's (IATA) 250 member airlines account for 83% of the world's air traffic. The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) represents and promotes business aviation industry. And the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) is a group of 80 of the world's leading manufacturers of general aviation aircraft, engines, avionics, components and related services.
AIA Director for Environmental Policy Leslie Riegle played an active role in drafting and editing the piece and coordinating among the four signatory organizations.

In the summer of 1864, sixteen-year-old Rhoda Strong lives in the Lumbee Indian settlement of Robeson County, North Carolina, which has become a pawn in the bloody struggle between the Union and Confederate armies. The community is besieged by the marauding Union Army as well as the desperate Home Guard who are hell-bent on conscripting the young men into deadly forced labor. Daughter of a Scotsman and his formidable Lumbee wife, Rhoda is fiercely loyal to her family and desperately fears for their safety, but her love for the outlaw hero Henry Berry Lowrie forces her to cast her lot with danger. Her struggle becomes part of the community's in a powerful story of love and survival. Nowhere Else on Earth is a moving saga that magnificently captures a little-known piece of American history.
Southern Book Award for Fiction – winner
"Humphreys has always been a master of telling a larger story through a deceptively intimate narrative, and Rhoda's tale, with its clear, distinct voice, is no exception." —The New Yorker
"A novel so compelling works a kind of magic, casting a spell. . . . She has distilled to a splendid coherence the complexities of history and the human heart." —The Washington Post
"With fluid writing, nuanced characters, and a suspenseful pace, Humphreys blends historical romance with a meditation on the ambiguities of race and morality." —Time
"Josephine Humphreys has always been a very, very, good novelist…with Nowhere Else on Earth…[she] has taken a quantum leap—from very, very, good to extraordinary." —The San Diego Union-Tribune
"Though I loved her three previous novels, Nowhere Else on Earth … the narrator, Rhoda Strong, belongs to the ages, a fabulous creation." Pat Conroy

Why M.B.A. Isn't Good Enough Anymore
While a number of writers have boldly proclaimed the end of the M.B.A., we are quick to note that "it's not dead yet." However, if business school leaders are inclined to simply ride out the storm and maintain their current headings, the factors forcing large-scale change may capsize their comfortable little boats. There are at least three major forces combining in a sort of perfect storm that will threaten the M.B.A. as we know it.
First are the financial challenges. Since the mid-1990s, American universities have raised their tuition five times as fast as inflation. Student loan debt in the US now exceeds credit card debt. Delinquency rates on student loans are now higher than on credit cards. In short, the costs of M.B.A. education are reaching a natural limit. And this is not just an issue in the U.S. Students in many countries are up in arms over tuition and fee hikes – witness student protests in Canada, Chile, Germany, and the United Kingdom over the past few years.
Second are the changing global demographics. The first part of the 21st century has witnessed a dramatic increase in GMAT tests in Asia. Last year more than 30% of exams were taken by Asians—up 60% in the past decade—and a smaller proportion are applying to US schools. Further, the greatest growth in GMAT exam takers is the under-25-years-old cohort. The risk to traditional two-year M.B.A. programs is real where many have experienced declining applications over the years while part-time programs, one-year accelerated formats, and specialized masters programs have all seen substantial increases.
Third are the promises and perils of technology. MOOCs (massive open online courses) represent one clear and present danger to the traditional M.B.A. Leading schools have already put entire courses online for students to master before setting foot on campus. Once built, schools can sell these courses to almost anyone and at a variety of price points. It is true that some schools are giving away content for free right now, but it is hard to envision this tactic continuing indefinitely considering the high up-front production costs.
As students of disruptive change know, new competitors and products—often inexpensive, inferior versions at first—rise to threaten incumbents. To avoid the end of the M.B.A. as we know it, business schools must proactively address the above challenges and exhibit the entrepreneurial spirit they are preaching to their students. This will certainly require that schools identify their own unique value-propositions and more efficiently manage their cost structures and resources. Other survival tactics will require addressing the fundamental premises on which M.B.A. education is based and delivered – building more relevant curriculum, improving the effectiveness and integration of learning technology, and engaging the multi-tasking plugged-in students of today.
To tinker at the edges is insufficient to ensure the future value of M.B.A. education, or business education at large for that matter. The time is now to disrupt, renovate, and renew current approaches. Without such disruption, the M.B.A. as we know it will drift into continued complacence and, ultimately, irrelevance.
This is going to be a wild ride. Buckle up. Let's hope that business schools grab the wheel and steer us through the stormy waters ahead.

When it came to composing his second opera, a year after the first-night success of his PETER GRIMES, Benjamin Britten opted for a radical change of "format". Rejecting the cumbersome route involving chorus, full orchestra and multiple soloists – for which, in the immediate post-war years, the funding and audiences were lacking -, he launched into the composition of a chamber opera. Costs were to be kept to a minimum and the work was to be so flexible in its logistics that it could be performed on small stages and toured to the provinces. With his colleagues from the PETER GRIMES period, Eric Crozier, singer and theatre manager Joan Cross (his first Ellen Orford) and his partner, the tenor Peter Pears, Britten founded the Glyndebourne English Opera Group, which was later to spawn the English Opera Group and the Aldeburgh Festival. The first project of this new creative troupe was THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA.
Britten considered the ancient tale of the Roman Lucretia, a faithful and loving wife who is raped by the unscrupulous Tarquinius and commits suicide as a result, to be an apt subject for traumatised post-war audiences. Using an orchestra of only 13 musicians and eight soloists, he came up with a work of thrilling intensity that is also one of his most lyrically beautiful pieces. Informed by the traditions of baroque opera, with its clear demarcation of arioso and recitativo sections, the work is overtly and deliberately reminiscent of Purcell, the most important English writer of operas before Britten. The chorus, accompanying and commenting on the action, is a reference to an ancient format, albeit here only in the form of one man ["Male Chorus"] and one woman ["Female Chorus"]. Britten created the title role for the celebrated alto Kathleen Ferrier, with Peter Pears taking the part of the "Male Chorus" and Joan Cross singing the "Female Chorus".

On Nov. 5, at about 3:30 p.m., a tractor trailer driven by Laisvidas Kisielius of Loveland was struck from the rear by another tractor trailer driven by Jack Trammell of Glendale, Ariz.
Both vehicles were traveling eastbound on Interstate 70 just east of Dotsero. The truck driven by Trammell partially rolled after impacting the back of Kisielius' vehicle, blocking all of eastbound I-70. The interstate was closed from 3:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. with traffic being diverted down U.S. Highway 6.
Trammell was issued a summons for careless driving.
Responders from Gypsum Fire Department, Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol, Big Steve's Towing and A-1 Traffic Control all responded to the scene.
On Aug. 22, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office received a report of a theft that occurred at Alpine Eyewear in Edwards. The manager of the store told deputies that an unidentified woman came into the store and stole two pairs of sunglasses on Aug. 21. He also said he recognized the suspect as a woman who had been in the store the day prior to the sunglasses being taken.
The manager did not notice that the glasses were missing until he was closing the store. The manager then reviewed the surveillance video for Aug. 21. The suspect can be seen removing a pair of turquoise Ray-Ban Wayfare Max glasses from a Ray- Ban display case and then placing them in her purse. She then walks to the front counter and removes a pair of Eyephorics brand sunglasses, from the front counter display case, and again places them in her purse.
The suspect is described as approximately 5'7", thin build, having blond hair with bangs. The suspect is believed to be between the ages of 40 and 50 years old.
If you think you may have any information about the suspects or this crime, please call the Eagle County Sheriff's Office at 970-328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at 970-328-7007, 1-800-972-TIPS, submit your tip online at www.tipsubmit.com, or text a tip from your cell phone by texting STOPCRIME plus your message to CRIMES (274637). If your tip leads to the arrest and indictment of any suspect involved, you could earn up to a $1,000 reward from the Crime Stoppers.
Homemade bomb found in El Jebel
At approximately 8 a.m. Nov. 1, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office received a report that a resident in the Blue Lake area of El Jebel found a small bottle filled with an unknown liquid. Assuming that it was trash he dumped the liquid out in a gutter. The liquid began bubbling and smoking. Upon arrival, deputies found the bottle to be a small homemade bomb.
While searching the Blue Lake area, deputies found four additional bottles that had exploded. These bombs caused no significant damage, only small burn marks. Deputies have reason to believe that these bombs were placed in these locations as a Halloween prank but are taking all necessary safety precautions to remove them properly.
The Grand Junction Bomb Squad disposed of the bomb.
These bombs are small soda bottles filled with a yellow liquid. If you locate one of these objects do not touch or move it, call 911 immediately.
If you think you may have any information about the suspects or this crime, please call the Eagle County Sheriff's Office at 970-328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at 970-328-7007, 1-800-972-TIPS, submit your tip online at www.tipsubmit.com, or text a tip from your cell phone by texting STOPCRIME plus your message to CRIMES (274637). If your tip leads to the arrest and indictment of any suspect involved, you could earn up to a $1,000 reward from the Crime Stoppers.
A property owner on Trough Road in Bond reported a strange case of trespassing and criminal mischief that happened around Oct. 19. The man told deputies that all three strands of his barbed-wire fence had been cut and "beer signs" and "Welcome Hunters" signs were hung on his ranch signs.
Deputies went to a Gypsum residence on Strohm Circle on Oct. 25 on a report that a woman was trying to leave and wasn't being allowed.
Two 51-year-old women at the residence were intoxicated when the officers arrived. The host said she didn't want her friend to drive drunk, so she hid her keys and belongings to keep her from driving.
The guest said she was using her phone to call a cab when the host took it away from her. She said she started putting her boots on and the host argued with her and slapped her face. Deputies noted the injuries on her face and wrist were consistent with her story.
The host admitted she hit her friend but only after her friend hit her first. She also had injuries consistent with her story. She said her daughter had died in an alcohol-related accident and didn't want her friend to share that fate.
Both women were cited for harassment. The guest and her daughter were given a ride home.
A deputy stopped a car in Gypsum on Oct. 26 when he saw it was missing a headlight.
The 28-year-old driver was also missing a driver's license. The deputy saw several open and unopened alcohol containers in the back seat and noticed the driver had bloodshot, watery eyes.
Dispatch said the man's license had been revoked for an alcohol conviction.
The man agreed to perform voluntary roadside sobriety tests and failed. He was arrested for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol. He submitted to a breath test and was booked into jail for driving with a revoked license, driving with open containers of alcohol, driving while ability impaired and cited for the broken headlight.
A deputy stopped a car on Highway 6 in Edwards on Oct. 27 after he saw it weave into the shoulder of the road.
The man didn't have a license or insurance for the car. He smelled ofalcohol and there were several open beer cans on the back floorboard. He said he drank five beers.
The deputy asked the man to perform voluntary roadside sobriety tests, which he failed. The officer also found five small shooters of tequila in the car.
The man was arrested for DUI and the car was towed.
The U.S. Post Office in Avon was closed Nov. 6 for Eagle County Hazmat teams to assess the situation after a white power was reported on a car and an individual and an Avon Police officer experienced medical symptoms.
There were reports of additional white power near Nottingham Park in Avon. The substance was tested and determined to be pizza crust mix.
Three individuals - two Avon Police officers and one civilian - were initially transported to Vail Valley Medical Center from the post office and were released with no symptoms.
On Oct. 14, deputies responded to reports of a fight involving as many as 20 people outside an Edwards bar. One man found at the scene didn't know how or why the fight started, or how he got a cut on his face, but he declined to press charges.

9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Designed for kids ages 5-12, these free, hands-on workshops occur monthly on the first Saturday of every month at Home Depot stores.They are a drop-in activity, and supplies are available from 9 a.m. to noon. In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates' aprons, a commemorative pin and certificate of achievement.
For more info, including the project for this month, please visit www.homedepot.com/workshops and click on "Kids Workshops" or call the phone number at your local store below.
Note: I talked to an associate at the Geneva Home Depot recently, and she said these workshops are very popular, so the closer you can get there to 9 a.m. the better. Sometimes, she warned, the stores do run out of kits. Also, the Home Depot website now asks you to register in advance so that the stores can better plan on the craft kit quantities needed. But again, a Geneva associate said that you can still just show up for the workshops. (This as of May 2014.)
Addresses for local Home Depot stores near the Fox Valley include:
- 2111 S. Randall Road, Geneva, IL 630-262-0380
- 440 Randall Road, South Elgin 847-214-8718

MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO, Italy - Ted Ligety is ruling the giant slalom like few others, and the praise extraordinary: "phenomenon," "superhero" and "unreal."
His performance also has left some rivals questioning whether his equipment conforms to new rules introduced by the International Ski Federation for this season that limit the hourglass shape of skis. But the federation says no equipment rules have been breached.
"It would be nice if people would be more observant of all the preparation Ted has done, and all the training he did with the new equipment," U.S. technical coach Mike Day said. "That's why he's dominating."
It's been mainly Italian skiers raising questions, after they couldn't keep up with Ligety at home in Sunday's race in Alta Badia, when Ligety won the first run by a massive 2.40 seconds.
Ligety won by 2.40 seconds, with defending overall World Cup winner Marcel Hirscher of Austria the runner-up.
On Tuesday, however, Ligety dropped to ninth place and second in overall standings. Defending overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher of Austria was fastest in both runs Tuesday, winning a night slalom marred by the death of a gatekeeper who entered cardiac arrest.
The deceased was identified as a ski instructor in Madonna di Campiglio, but his name was not released because his family could not immediately be notified.
Under the lights, with thousands of fans lining the course, Hirscher skied the two runs in 1 minute, 42.50 seconds. He was followed by Felix Neureuther of Germany and Naoki Yuasa of Japan.
Ligety has won the first two GS races this season by large margins, finishing 2.75 ahead in Soelden, Austria, and 1.76 in front in Beaver Creek, Colo. Swedish legend Ingemar Stenmark set the record for margin of victory at 4.06 in 1978-79.
Still, Ligety became the first man since Stenmark in 1978-79 to win two giant slaloms in the same season with an advantage of more than two seconds.
In an article in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera on Monday - headlined "Ligety even more giant, amid talent and the usual suspects" - skiers Manfred Moelgg and Davide Simoncelli wondered about the American's skis.
"It seems to me the tails are wider," Moelgg said.
Simoncelli said: "It does raise some doubts."
A similar article appeared in Gazzetta dello Sport.
Federation equipment controller Mike Kertesz measures racers' skis, boots and suits with random checks in the finish area at all men's events.
"I know it was an amazing run," Kertesz told The Associated Press on Monday. "From everyone's perspective, it was like, 'What did that guy do?' But I measured his skis in both runs and I measured his race suit for permeability since he was in the top three, and he was within the FIS equipment rules."
Kertesz performs at least four different measurements: radius of ski, minimum width of ski, maximum width at the tip, and binding height.
So far only two men have been disqualified this season.
Austrian veteran Mario Matt lost a top-10 finish in a slalom in Levi, Finland, because his binding height was a tenth of a millimeter too high, and Luca De Aliprandini of Italy lost his first World Cup points during a super-G in Beaver Creek because his skis were too wide.
Surprisingly, there have been no equipment breaches in giant slalom, which was the discipline hardest hit by the new sidecut rules, which went from a 28- to 35-meter radius.
"All of the guys are very close," Kertesz said. "They're all within one meter of the 35-meter limit."
Ligety was the biggest critic of the new rules, but he was also one of the first skiers to start testing the new skis, even using them in a couple races at the end of last season.
"He worked harder on the new equipment," said another Italian skier, Massimiliano Blardone, who won the GS last year in Alta Badia for his third victory on the Gran Risa, moving him within one of Alberto Tomba's record. "He's ahead of us, there's no ifs ands or buts about it. ... Ted invested his time in this, plus he's a phenomenon."
Like Ligety, overall World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal and Norwegian teammate Kjetil Jansrud also use Head skis, as does Marcel Mathis of Austria.
For technical races, Ligety shares his ski technician, Alex Martin, with teammate Bode Miller. However, Miller is recuperating from left knee surgery and has not begun his season yet.
"We see it every day in training," Day said, referring to Ligety's performance. "After that first run yesterday I said to him, 'Look at that time, but it wasn't anything special, was it?' And he agreed it wasn't anything special."
On the slope, Ligety seems to crouch and lean to one side at a bigger angle on each turn than anyone else, often touching the snow in four places at once, with his hands, hips, thighs and buttocks. He doesn't seem to slam into gates as other racers do.
"At the end of every turn, he always accelerates," Simoncelli said. "We're studying his posture, too. Maybe that's where the secret is."
