STARKVILLE, Miss. – Valdosta State leads the nation, along with Alabama-Huntsville, in National Fastpitch Coaches' Association All-Region First Team players with five Blazers making the first team squad. Marti Littlefield, April Hutchens, Alanna Hadley, Morgan Johnson and Courtney Albritton all made the NFCA All-South Region First Team. With that, all five players are eligible for NFCA All-America status.
All five players also made the All-GSC First Team as well as the Daktronics All-South Region squad. Hadley, Hutchens and Albritton were the only Daktronics first teamers, but all five made the first team on which the coaches vote.
Albritton earns her first NFCA All-Region award as it is her freshman season while Hadley does the same in her first season at Valdosta State. Hutchens makes her first All-Region team while Johnson makes her second NFCA All-Region team after also making it her freshman season. Littlefield impressively makes it four consecutive seasons on the NFCA All-Region squad.
In her senior season, Littlefield has cemented her legacy at Valdosta State by breaking the Gulf South Conference record for most RBI in a career. She currently has knocked 239 RBI with an outstanding grand slam against Alabama-Huntsville in the second game of the South Regional Tournament. With nine home runs this season, Littlefield has knocked 56 career homers and needs just one to tie the GSC career record in home runs. She's batting .343 with 57 hits, nine home runs, 16 doubles, two triples and 54 RBI. She has been walked a team high 37 times. Littlefield also made the All-Gulf South Conference First Team.
Other seniors on the squad were Hutchens and Hadley. Hutchens has been considered one of the best defensive players in the region and maybe the nation all of three previous seasons at VSU, but this year she has put together her best offensive output to date. She is batting .313 on the year, her highest of her career. She has scored 35 runs on 45 hits this season with nine doubles and a home run. So far this year Hutchens has knocked 25 RBI. Hutchens was another All-GSC First Teamer along with Littlefield and Hadley.
Hadley has been the ace for VSU in her only season in the Blazers' pitcher's circle. She was named the GSC Pitcher of the Year and earned the GSC Pitcher of the Week award five times this season. With an impressive 27-3 record and an 0.97 earned run average, Hadley will lead VSU against Florida Southern. She has 11 solo shutouts on the season with 27 complete games and 194.0 innings pitched. To date, she has struck out 146 batters and allows opponents just a .174 batting average.
The other two Blazers to make the NFCA All-South Region Team have been the team's most prolific offensive forces. The duo of Johnson and Albritton have flip flopped throughout the season for the team's highest batting average. Currently it's Johnson with a .450 batting average and a team high .520 on-base percentage. Johnson has knocked 44 RBI, nine home runs, two triples, 17 doubles and 76 hits. She's scored 50 runs and is slugging .734. She was another All-GSC first teamer and knocked the winning and only RBI against Rollins in the final game of the South Regional.
Albritton took VSU and the entire Gulf South Conference by storm in just her freshman season. She was named the GSC's Freshman and Player of the Year while leading the conference in most categories. She is first on the VSU squad in runs scored (67), hits (88), doubles (19), triples (3), home runs (15), RBI (58), slugging percentage (.794) and stolen bases (12-12). She robbed Rollins of a home run in the seventh inning to secure VSU's path to the Super Regionals.
Albritton, Hutchens, Hadley, Johnson and Littlefield will lead Valdosta State in the team's quest to the NCAA Division II National Tournament when they face Florida Southern in the South Super Regional starting at 6 p.m. Friday.

Grace Under Fire: Finding the Courage Within to Make a Change
by Tania Kazi
There comes a time in life when the old ways begin to peel and shed away.
This happens when you start to notice one too many undesirable patterns recurring in your life. You vow to change things, but the patterns keep reemerging with renewed force. The wise thing to do, one hears, is to step back, take a deep breath and reaffirm your intent to break away from the pattern. To stop doing that which repeatedly gives birth to an environment that accentuates the gray and uncertain hues of life in the core of your existence. This is where courage comes in. Lots of it.

STOCKTON – The Stockton Police force has lost 99 positions since 2009, Police Chief Eric Jones tells the crowd at the city's symposium to introduce its plan to curb violence. So the police – while saying they need increased staffing – are focusing on high-crime areas.
So far, the plan is reaping results, Jones says, as police are focusing on guns and gangs. They've saturated such areas as California and Park streets, Ponce de Leon Avenue, Acapulco Way and Kelley Drive.
Earlier, consultant Donna Lattin told the symposium that violence is not only contagious, but learned. Programs designed to reduce violence should have positive ripple effects.

Inspired by traditional French dishes, this country picnic features elegant sandwiches, crisp salads,and sweet vegan tarts—a Treat for friends and family.
Few meals are more classic than an afternoon picnic. And with their love of fine, simple foods, the French have mastered themagic of well-planned outdoor dining. But even if you can't make it to Normandy or Alsace, you can still capture the magic of a French countryside meal.
Start with a roomy wicker basket and a trip to a specialty market or well-stocked natural foods store. Buy a selection of fine cheeses, a loaf of crusty bread, a few ripe d'Anjou pears, and an assortment of specialty items, such as cultured butter, fig confit, olives, pâté, and Marcona almonds. And don't forget the beverages! Try sparkling grape cider, chilled white tea with pomegranate juice, or citronnade à la menthe.
Add a little class with cloth napkins, roomy blankets, and colorful, unbreakable plates, glasses, and flatware that can be rewashed and used again. When you're packing your basket, arrange items in reverse order; put food and ice packs on the bottom, then plates, glasses, and flatware. Then pack your ground spread or tablecloth on top. Other handy essentials: a corkscrew, a sheathed knife, and a small cutting board for cheese. Add fresh flowers, a small backgammon set, and a portable CD player with a selection of French classics, and you'll transform even the most urban of settings into a peaceful French village.

Growing up and still to this day, my favorite female athlete and role model is Dot Richardson. Here's a little bit about her if you are not familiar:
"A born athlete, she developed a passion for softball during a time when women were confined to limited sporting opportunities. She broke down barriers and
never allowed anyone to tell her she "couldn't" just because she was a girl. As the USA's first ever Olympic softball team's captain and as an orthopedic surgeon - Dot knows what it takes to break ground, get out of the comfort zone and win."
Who is your favorite female athlete?
Lynne Cox, distance swimmer. She swam a little over a mile in Antarctic waters (~32 degrees)...without a wetsuit. How this is physiologically possible, I have no idea. She inspires me to dream in extremes, test the mind and body limits of endurance
My all time favorite would have to be Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
The Queen of Kona.....Paula Newby Fraser
I'd have to go with Jennie Finch....great ambassador of the game of softball. Of course, being a U of A alum, I'm a bit biased
She has been quite the ambassador of the game. I had a chance to meet her at the World Cup of Softball a few weeks ago in Oklahoma City while we were covering the event for our special section.
While we were there we had a chance to catch up with her and to find out how she throws that amazing riseball, what it's like to wear the USA Softball uniform and to check in on the pitching development of her one year-old son, Ace. Read the full conversation.
My favorite female athlete/role model/coach is Pat Head Summitt...hands down she is one of the most successful and influential women in sports today. Pat has not only led the Tennessee Lady Vols to six NCAA titles, she is also the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history, & that includes the men too! I bleed Orange, what can I say!
As a distance runner who hopes to run an ultra someday, Ann Transon is my hero.
Growing up a gymnast, I wanted to be just like Nadia Comaneci, the first gymnast to score a perfect 10! Although I have moved on to other pursuits, I continue to respect and look up to this great role model.
Check out her bio at www.bartandnadia.com/bionadia.html
Hi Mvalenti,
I share your respect for Nadia Comaneci! When I was very small I saw the movie that was made about her posting the first ever perfect 10 in gymnastics. I went on to take gymnastics and perform for my grandma as she babysat me--asking her to be the judge of my performance. If she did not award me a 10, I would do it again until she did. I have to imagine after a couple times she just gave me the 10.
Last month at the Taste of Chicago I had an opportunity to meet Nadia and Bart. They were both very nice. Crazy to finally meet Nadia after emulating myself after her so many times as a little girl.
This dates me, of course, but I have to say Billy Jean King and Mary Decker Tabb (tied) -- until they kicked butt, my world didn't have active women in it. As a girl, I simply idolized them! Heather
In a sports world that seems to be dominated by males almost any female athlete would be my favorite. However I would have to say that Shirley Muldowney (NHRA) has really set the standards by breaking down the barriers for todays female drag racers. On the not so professional level my mom she is the one that has encouraged me no matter what sport I have tried on any level.
Gotta be Margaret Court for me. The Australian tennis player dominated women's tennis in the sixties and seventies. Within 16 years (from 1959 until 1975) she won a record 62 Grand Slam titles, including a record 24 singles titles, 19 women's doubles titles, and a record 19 mixed doubles titles. She won 64 Grand Slam titles, including 21 mixed doubles titles, if the shared championships at the Australian Championships/Open in 1965 and 1969 are counted. The finals were not played because of bad weather. Court could have won even more mixed doubles titles had the event been held at the 1970, 1971, 1973, and 1975 Australian Opens.
Compare that to the next best female player (in my opinion), Martina Natratilova. She needed 25 years (from 1978 until 2003) for her 59 Grand Slam titles.
I've gotta give it to Venus and Serena! I can say that I enjoyed reading everyone's choices

Now that Kentucky freshman Marcus Lee has vaulted into the spotlight and into the heart of Big Blue Nation, his former coach in his hometown of Antioch doesn't seem so surprised.
He's seen the 6-foot-9 Lee come of age before.
"He's progressing at a good rate," former Deer Valley coach LeChet Phillips said of Lee. "He's gonna be fine. He's going to have a great college career."
An unlikely hero in Kentucky's win over Michigan Sunday in the Elite Eight, Lee came off the bench to score 10 points, all in the first half, and grab a season-high eight rebounds and block two shots. The Wildcats will face Wisconsin on Saturday in the Final Four at AT&T Stadium in North Texas.
When Kentucky coach John Calipari replaced Lee twice during the game, he received standing ovations both times.
"You've got love the 'ecstatic' coming through," Lee said on WestwoodOne Sports radio of the fans' reaction after the game. "I'm feeling great."
Not bad for a seemingly forgotten freshman who had slid back in the rotation after suffering an illness during the holidays. Lee did not play in the Wildcats' first two NCAA Tournament games and was in for a minute against Louisville in the Sweet 16. He is averaging 6.1 minutes and 2.4 points a game.
After Sunday's game, Calipari asked Lee to share what he'd been telling him.
"He told the team I was going to have a big day," Lee said during a postgame media event. "Knowing us, none of us believed him."
Calipari added, "And 'everyone in the world is going to be talking about you,' is what I said. ... Proud of you, kid."
Lee, a former McDonald's High School All-American, seized an opportunity on the star-studded Wildcats squad after 7-foot center Willie Cauley-Stein suffered an ankle injury against Louisville.
With Cauley-Stein doubtful for Saturday's semifinal, Lee could be a factor again. Remember that Lee, who also starred in volleyball in high school, had just nine points total between the beginning of the SEC season and the Elite Eight.
Phillips recalls how Lee, as a sophomore, burst onto the high school scene in a similar fashion. He had 16 points, 11 boards and five blocked shots in a North Coast Section Division I quarterfinal loss to San Ramon Valley in 2011.
"He really took it upon himself to be a force in the game," Phillips recalled. "It was the same thing that happened (Sunday) night. He took off from there. Now, I would imagine he's going to take off again with this one."
At Deer Valley, Lee and Kendall Smith, now at UNLV, led the Wolverines to new heights, including a runner-up finish in the 2013 Northern California regional Division I playoffs and a first section championship.
Lee was the Rivals.com No. 19 recruit in the class of 2013. He averaged 17.9 points, 19.4 rebounds, 6.9 blocks and 3.7 assists a game as a senior.
Phillips wants people to keep Lee's college experience in proper perspective.
"Everybody has to remember that he is a freshman," Phillips said. "Typically, most average freshmen in college don't get a lot of playing time. They're basically learning the system, learning how to get around campus, and that's what's happening with Marcus.
Phillips said they told Lee in high school to let the game come to him and focus on team success, which he did. He is doing much the same in the fast-paced world at Kentucky.
"He has a lot of kids around him, and his coach, who are basically in the 'now' moment, where everything has to happen now for everybody," Phillips said. "He will change the dynamic of that team."

Faulty Comparison

In a Jan. 27 letter ["Guns Don't Help Situation"], the writer compared the gun murder rate in the U.S. with that of the U.K. The U.K. does not allow guns and the murder rate there is quite low. However, the statistics were not accurate. True, the murder rate per 100,000 in the U.S. is 10.2, but the rate involving guns is only 3.6. Comparing this with another country where guns are not allowed — namely Mexico, whose rate is 25.4 with a gun rate of 14.0 — it is obvious the rate depends on the people, not the guns.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recently conducted a workshop on clinical-trial data and transparency in London following the agency's decision, made earlier this year, to proactively publish all data from clinical trials and enable interested parties to access to full data sets. Guido Rasi, executive director of the EMA, said as he kicked off the event, "The European Medicines Agency is committed to proactive publication of clinical-trial data, once the marketing-authorisation process has ended. We are not here to decide if we publish clinical-trial data, but how."
Nevertheless, before moving forward with this process, there are several practical and political considerations that need to be addressed and resolved. The purpose of the workshop was to gather the views, interests and concerns from a broad range of institutions, groups and individuals to help the EMA define the modalities of proactive access to clinical-trial data in a way that best serves patients and public health.
Transparency is important for building trust and confidence, and the EMA is striving to achieve this by allowing stakeholders to access and reanalyse data from clinical trials. This workshop is a starting point and based on discussions that took place, the EMA will establish policies in close dialogue with its stakeholders in five areas, namely, protecting patient confidentiality; clinical-trial-data formats; rules of engagement; good analysis practice; and legal aspects.
Advisory boards, represented by various parties, will be formed and work on these five topics will commence early next year with final advice from each group anticipated by April 2013. In a press release, the EMA stated that the proactive publication of clinical-trial data is expected come into effect on 1 January 2014.

Often parents and coaches ask me if there is one single thing their athlete(s) can do to help insure their success on game day.
In a perfect world I could give your athlete the magic bullet that would guarantee spectacular success and an end to all game day anxiety and frustration.
The truth is I have no silver bullet but I may be able to offer you a bronze one!
You see all great fastpitch players, sometimes without even knowing they're doing it, employ a secret that invariably leads to their consistent success on the diamond.
I call it the Power of Expectation.
Champion athletes that manage to perform at peak levels, closest to their fullest potential, carry with them an expectancy for success. To them success is not a surprise, but rather inevitable.
Conversely, athletes who experience a higher level of failure also carry with them an expectation on game day; particularly in the most pivotal time of the game. However their expectancy is one of doubt, uncertainty and perhaps even failure.
The crazy and sad fact is that the physical profile of the athlete than expects success and the one that expects failure (or less than success) is often virtually identical. Both players will achieve success at the plate, on defense or in the circle; one of them is just able to do so far more frequently. Why?
Here are five action steps your athlete and team can do to activate the Power of Expectancy:
1. Trust Yourself - An expectancy for success starts with trusting in your abilities and your preparation. Consistently successful athletes rarely experience mental doubt or physical uncertainty when performing a task on the field. Doubt and trepidation on the diamond always lead to failure. Quoting Wayne Gretsky: "You miss 100% of the shots you don'rtake."

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Sunday, March 7, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- "Thousands and thousands," said Lt. Mike D'Amico, referring to the cars that will flood Washington Road this week while The Masters is in town.
With more cars, that means more deputies are out to help with traffic flow.
"Traffic on Washington Road and the surrounding areas increases exponentially. The amount of traffic is just unbelievable. We have 30 to 40 officers out there any given time, dedicated just for the traffic alone," D'Amico said.
While most locals look for ways to avoid the Washington Road gridlock, one man is excited to see the rush.
"I wish they were all pulling into my parking lot," said Somewhere in Augusta owner John Fiske.
Fiske has a front row seat to the traffic along Washington Road.
"It goes from about 25,000 cars a day past our restaurant to now 60,000 cars," he said.
With that many more people on the road, getting drivers in and out is quite the task, requiring planning, teamwork and even some help from the sky.
"In addition to the local agencies, the State Patrol on regular occasion brings their helicopter into see traffic from the air. Gives them a different perspective on where traffic might be backing up," D'Amico said.
D'Amico says, if all else fails, drivers should just follow the signs.
"We ask folks follow the signs that are posted to get them to the interstate even though their GPS may tell them they're going the wrong direction. If everyone tried to go the most direct route to the interstate, traffic would never thin out," he said.
When things do get backed up, engineers are standing by to change a red light to a green one.
"They can change the cycling of the lights remotely from the high school if they see Washington Road or Berckmans Road need a little bit more coverage," D'Amico said.
Traffic engineers use Westside High School off Washington Road as their headquarters while the kids are on Spring Break. They monitor the traffic from there.
D'Amico says the city has come a long way from the days where deputies flagged this traffic by hand.

The Polk County Middle School girls softball team went undefeated in division play this year, and Burley and Joan Flynn of Tryon are mighty proud of the team, but the talent of one player in particular puts the biggest smile on their faces every time she picks up a ball. Their granddaughter, 14-year-old Ashley Scruggs of Tryon, is the pitcher, and she's pitched 130 strikeouts in 13 games, including the first conference tournament game last Monday evening.
"We are so proud of her," says "Mema" Flynn. "She's been playing softball ever since she was 3 years old, and she's been pitching since she was 8. I remember the first time she pitched. It was at Harmon Field, and I was so nervous I said, 'Lord, don't let her hit someone with that ball,' but she was a natural. She pitches with such ease." Mr. Flynn likes to go early to the games so he can keep the stats. "She struck out 119 players in the division games, and she struck out 11 more Monday night in the first game of the conference tournament," says a proud "Papa." "We couldn't be more proud of the little gal. She's doing very well.
And she also plays basketball, volleyball and travel ball."
'NO RESPECT': John Albree of Columbus says he was appalled by Chris Burleson's thinking concerning the legal defense of the surviving brother accused in the bombing in Boston. "I disagree with his entire presentation," says Mr. Albree. "The alleged bomber is entitled to a defense attorney and to plead not guilty. That is the law of this country. It would even apply to Mr. Burleson should he be charged with any crime. In fact, his beating and killing the bomber in an elevator would be such a crime. Mr. Burleson sounds like he has no respect for the laws of the United States of America. Thank God the majority of us are more civilized and respect the premise of being innocent until proven guilty. Thank heavens I did not have his like under my command when I served the Army."
'QUITE OBVIOUS': A dad was driving home when he suddenly realized it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her anything.
Out of the corner of his eye he noticed a shopping mall.
He drove his car through three lanes of traffic, found a parking space and raced into the mall. After a frantic search he found a toy store.
When asked by the clerk what he was looking for, he said, "A Barbie doll." The clerk looked at him in a condescending manner and asked, "So, sir, which Barbie would that be?"
The man looked surprised, so the clerk continued, "We have Barbie goes to the ball at $19.99, Barbie goes shopping at $19.99, Barbie goes clubbing at $19.99, Barbie goes to the gym at $19.99, Cyber Barbie at $19.99 and Divorced Barbie at $249.99."
The puzzled dad asked, "Why is Divorced Barbie $249.99 when all those other Barbies are selling for $19.99?"
"Well, sir," said the clerk, "that should be quite obvious.
Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's furniture and so on."

'Twas two weeks before Christmas, and all through the Senate and House, not a budget deal was stirring, so the country's citizens did grouse ...
Yep. Congress is haggling again over a plan to keep the federal government running, this time past Jan. 15. And many Americans are hoping the deal isn't simply a "continuing resolution" that will have Democrats and Republicans back at the bargaining table -- and at each other's throats -- a few months down the road.
October's government shutdown stoked white-hot anger toward Congress, and the deal that ended it gave lawmakers until this Friday to negotiate a deal. A bipartisan panel has been hunkered down seeking common ground.
But that ground, by most indications. might be only a few square inches,
So we asked three prominent Californians -- a liberal, a conservative and a maverick -- what Congress should do to avoid another shutdown and move the nation forward. The liberal said the budget "sequester" -- automatic cuts Congress approved in 2011 to take effect early this year in case Republicans and Democrats couldn't settle their differences -- must be reshaped or retracted. The conservative said it doesn't cut deep enough.
The conservative and the maverick said they want to see a "grand bargain" involving changes to two popular programs: Medicare and Social Security. The liberal said those programs should be off the table.
All agreed on one thing: The stakes are high, even if they can't agree why.
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland
Famously liberal Barbara Lee, a House Budget Committee member, said the sequester is laying waste to unemployment benefits, food aid like Meals on Wheels and federal nutrition programs, and other efforts to keep needy Americans fed and sheltered. It's time, she said, to "provide a safety net until we turn this economy around where people can get a job and take care of their families."
With the deficit coming down, she said, it's also time to rebuild the nation's roads and bridges, beef up education spending and increase the amount of clean energy.
"There are huge benefits in terms of job creation if you make the right investments," she said. "We also need to target resources into communities that have been hardest hit by the recession, into areas with high concentrations of people who live below the poverty line."
She would like to see a budget that's closer to balanced -- which she said can be achieved through corporate tax hikes, fee increases and slashed oil and farm subsidies. And, she said, the defense budget can be cut by scaling back wasteful programs and by ending the war in Afghanistan as soon as possible.
But Medicare and Social Security "shouldn't be discussed," she said. "There are certain reforms that could be made, but not as part of a budget deal."
Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Granite Bay
"Ultimately the solvency of the United States is at stake," said Tom McClintock, a fierce conservative who also sits on the House Budget Committee. "Before you can provide for the common defense and the general welfare, you have to be able to pay for it."
The deficit and national debt pose the biggest threat to the nation's security and future, he said, so they must be cut as deeply and quickly as possible. He wants to see big budget cuts -- which he declined to specify -- but hopes at least that the budget sequester will stay in place. "We're currently on the best possible course that's available to us, given the realities of a divided government."
McClintock wants a "grand bargain" that includes long-term reform of Medicare and Social Security -- though he conceded it isn't politically realistic right now -- as well as reform of regulations that he says are strangling the nation's economic growth.
"The healthy way is to reduce the burdens on commerce and to grow the economy; the morbid way to increase revenues is to exact more taxes out of a sluggish economy," he said. "We have tried that policy over and over again, and it does not work."
And spending money based on political concerns rather than purely economic concerns is never as efficient, he said. "That is the difference between Solyndra and Apple," he said, citing the government-funded solar manufacturer in Fremont that went belly up two years ago.
Former Rep. Tom Campbell
When he was a South Bay congressman, Tom Campbell always liked to call himself "the cheapest man in Congress" -- an appellation once bestowed on him by the National Taxpayers Union for being a fiscal tightwad. And years later, the maverick Republican still likes the ring of it.
"Democrats and Republicans alike are ready to throw the sequester over the side, and that would be a great mistake," Campbell said. "It's the only method for cutting spending that I've seen."
Campbell, a former California finance director who's now the dean of Chapman University's School of Law, said he would cap spending at levels lower than the growth of the gross domestic product. He also would cut farm subsidies and pursue wide-ranging reform of the tax code.
He said a grand bargain that includes changes to Medicare and Social Security "is highly needed and highly unlikely."
Democrats won't bend on those two big-money programs, and Republicans won't bend on taxes until after 2014's primary elections. "Once the Democrats don't have to worry about their left wing and the Republicans don't have to worry about their right wing," he said, "they can then compromise."
Meanwhile, he said, Congress should maintain a "laser focus on what the problem is: People are out of work."
Campbell favors expanding the Earned Income Tax credit for low- to moderate-income workers instead of increasing the minimum wage. And he would give targeted tax credits to employers who hire unemployed workers for six months or more.
"That directly gets people employed -- and from that everything else grows," he said.
There are lots of good arguments for social service programs, Campbell said, "but nothing works as well as a job."

|Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award (AHL fewest goals against) (2003) (shared with Marc Lamothe) Signed as a free agent by Detroit, December 21, 2001. Claimed on waivers by Boston from Detroit, February 24, 2007. Signed as a free agent by NY Islanders, July 7, 2007. Signed as a free agent by Toronto, August 10, 2009.

|Joey MacDonald was born February 7, 1980 in Pictou, Nova Scotia. Undrafted, the netminder honed his skills in the QMJHL and OHL.
A butterfly style netminder, MacDonald recorded his third consecutive 20-plus victory season with the Peterborough Petes in his final year of junior hockey. He made the leap to the professional ranks of hockey the following season, competing with Toledo in the ECHL. Over the next four seasons of his career, MacDonald would appear between the pipes with the Red Wings' AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins. After setting a franchise record for most career wins in Grand Rapids, the Nova Scotian backstopper was used in eight regular season NHL games during the 2006-70 season with the Detroit Red Wings. However after posting a 1-5-1 record, the Red Wings placed him on waivers and he was signed by the Boston Bruins. After a brief seven game stint in Boston, MacDonald signed as a free agent with the New York Islanders on July 7, 2007.
Initially, the Nova Scotia native spent the majority of his time with the Islanders' AHL affiliate in Bridgeport, but in 2008, following an injury to star goaltender, Rick DiPietro, MacDonald became the number one netminder on the island. He appeared in 49 games for the club, posting a save percentage over 900.
In the summer of 2009, MacDonald signed as a free agent with the Toronto Maple Leafs, though he would spend less than a year in Toronto. On March 3, 2010, the NHL trade deadline, the goaltender was shipped to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a seventh round draft pick.

About the Book
From former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright comes a moving and thoughtful memoir of her formative years in Czechoslovakia during the tumult of Nazi occupation, World War II, fascism, and the onset of the Cold War. An intensely personal journey into the past that offers vital lessons for the future, Prague Winter combines the intimacy of an autobiography with the drama of an exciting and well-told story—all underpinned by the gravity and intelligence of a serious work of history. The result is a highly readable and incisive work filled with tragedy and triumph, a resonant narrative informed by Albright's remarkable life experience and her characteristic candor in speaking hard truths.
Before Madeleine Albright turned twelve, her life was shaken by the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia—the country where she was born—the Battle of Britain, the near total destruction of European Jewry, the Allied victory in World War II, the rise of communism, and the onset of the Cold War.
Albright's experiences, and those of her family, provide a lens through which to view the most tumultuous dozen years in modern history. Drawing on her memory, her parents' written reflections, interviews with contemporaries, and newly available documents, Albright recounts a tale that is by turns harrowing and inspiring. Prague Winter is an exploration of the past with timeless dilemmas in mind and, simultaneously, a journey with universal lessons that is intensely personal.
The book takes readers from the Bohemian capital's thousand-year-old castle to the bomb shelters of London, from the desolate prison ghetto of Terezín to the highest councils of European and American government. Albright reflects on her discovery of her family's Jewish heritage many decades after the war, on her Czech homeland's tangled history, and on the stark moral choices faced by her parents and their generation. Often relying on eyewitness descriptions, she tells the story of how millions of ordinary citizens were ripped from familiar surroundings and forced into new roles as exiled leaders and freedom fighters, resistance organizers and collaborators, victims and killers. These events of enormous complexity are nevertheless shaped by concepts familiar to any growing child: fear, trust, adaptation, the search for identity, the pressure to conform, the quest for independence, and the difference between right and wrong.
"No one who lived through the years of 1937 to 1948," Albright writes, "was a stranger to profound sadness. Millions of innocents did not survive, and their deaths must never be forgotten. Today we lack the power to reclaim lost lives, but we have a duty to learn all that we can about what happened and why." At once a deeply personal memoir and an incisive work of history, Prague Winter serves as a guide to the future through the lessons of the past—as seen through the eyes of one of the international community's most respected and fascinating figures.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A gripping account of World War II. . . . In taut prose, Albright weaves a powerful narrative that wraps her family's story into the larger political drama unfolding in Europe." — The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Albright has supplemented a deeply researched history of World War II-era Czechoslovakia with a moving family narrative." — The Daily
"Prague Winter is not only a family story-a proud and moving one-but a brilliant and multilayered account of how Czechoslovakia was formed along the most idealistic lines in the aftermath of World War I. An altogether fascinating and inspiring read." — Michael Korda, The Daily Beast
"Showing us villainy, heroism, and agonizing moral dilemmas, Albright's vivid storytelling and measured analysis bring this tragic era to life." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A genuinely admirable book. Albright skillfully returns us to some of the darkest years of modern times. Spring eventually came to Prague, but in much of the world it is still winter. The love of democracy fills every one of these instructive and stirring pages." — Leon Wieseltier
"I was totally blown away by this book. It is a breathtaking combination of the historical and the personal. Albright confronts the brutal realities of the Holocaust and the conflicted moral choices it led to. An unforgettable tale of fascism and communism, courage and realism, families and heartache and love. — Walter Isaacson
"A remarkable story of adventure and passion, tragedy and courage set against the backdrop of occupied Czechoslovakia and World War II. Albright provides fresh insights into the events that shaped her career and challenges us to think deeply about the moral dilemmas that arise in our own lives." — Vaclav Havel
"A riveting tale of her family's experience in Europe during World War II [and] a well-wrought political history of the region, told with great authority. . . . More than a memoir, this is a book of facts and action." — The Los Angeles Times
"A compelling personal exploration of [Albright's] family's Jewish roots as well as an excellent history of Czechoslovakia from 1937 to 1948. . . . Highly informative and insightful. . . . I can't recommend Prague Winter highly enough." — The Washington Post Book World
"In the crowded field of memoirs written by former secretaries of state, Madeleine Albright's books stand out. . . . Albright is a charming and entertaining storyteller." — The New York Review of Books
"Albright's book is a sprightly historical narrative of this long decade. . . . Her account of the destruction of inter-war Czechoslovakia, both as a geographical entity and as an idea of democracy, first by the Nazis and then by the Communists, is balanced and vivid." — The Economist
"A blend of history and memoir that reveals in rich, poignant and often heartbreaking detail a story that had been hidden from her by her own parents. . . . The beating heart of the book is Albright's searing account of her intimate family saga." — The Jewish Journal
"An extraordinary book. . . . Albright artfully presents a wrenching tale of horror and darkness, but also one in which decent and brave people again and again had their say." — István Deák, The New Republic

In the minutes before the insanity, the teenager alone in the Davis home in Piedmont had lost his sanity. The game was over, his beloved Raiders had won, and he was sprinting about the house yelling and screaming and bouncing on the furniture.
Exactly 40 years later, Mark Davis is the team's managing general partner and his childhood memory remains. He vividly recalls how those moments of unrestrained joy turned to overwhelming sorrow somehow quickly and slowly at once.
"I went absolutely berserk," he says. "I went from room to room, jumping on the beds, jumping on the couch.
"Then I came back down to watch, you know, the end of it. And all of a sudden ... it was like sudden death."
It certainly was for the Raiders' 1972 season. They had been buried by one final and incredibly shocking turn of events, the kind of play not seen before or since in the NFL.
Now commonly referred to as the "Immaculate Reception," the controversial play that Davis and millions of football fans can't forget took place on Dec. 23, 1972, and has a distinctive place in football lore. It occurred on the last play of the AFC Divisional playoff game between Oakland and Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium.
Of the many painful moments in Raiders history, none is more haunting or agonizing.
"It's something that lives on," Davis says. "And it's a dagger every time you see it."
Former Raiders safety George Atkinson, on the field that day, has spent the past 40 years referring to the play as the "Immaculate Deception."
Legendary John Madden, Oakland's head coach at the time, remains ticked off about it. Though he has in the past made clear his disgust with the call, when NFL Network approached him this year for an interview for the documentary "Immaculate Reception," part of the network's "A Football Life" series, the affable former coach declined.
"That play bothered me then, bothers me today and will bother me until the day I die," Madden told NFL Films 26 years ago.
"The Raiders can see it as a crime," episode producer Neil Zender recently told USA Today, "and the Steelers can see it as the hand of God."
With 22 seconds remaining and Oakland leading 7-6, Pittsburgh was facing fourth-and-10 from its 40-yard line. Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw faded back, escaped the clutches of defensive end Horace Jones and fired a pass downfield toward running back John "Frenchy" Fuqua.
As the pass reached Fuqua, Raiders safety Jack Tatum simultaneously slammed into the receiver. The ball, deflected by one or both players -- depending on whom you ask -- ricocheted back toward Steelers fullback Franco Harris, who was trailing the play. He scooped it up at the Oakland 42 and raced into the end zone.
Was it a touchdown? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Was the game over? Maybe. Maybe not.
"It took them so long to make a decision," Davis recalls, shaking his head at the memory.
Though Davis often did odd jobs on the Raiders sideline at selected games, home and away, he was a high school student and did not accompany the team on three-day road trips. He had the family home to himself on that day because his parents, team owner Al Davis and his wife, Carol, were attending the game in Pittsburgh.
So there was this kid, drained of jubilation, wondering what would become of the team he'd always considered a part of his family and the players he worshipped. He mourned along with Raiders throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
There were two pertinent questions in the wake of the play, and there was no clear answer either.
Did Tatum touch the ball? If he did, it might be a legal play. If not, it was an incomplete pass. The rules at the time did not allow "double touches," with the ball deflected directly from one offensive teammate to another.
Did Harris catch the ball? Some say he did, while others insist he trapped it. Game video from several cameras does not provide conclusive evidence.
When asked about it afterward, Harris claimed he didn't know. That Harris has not changed his story over the years only deepens the mystery.
There was at the time no instant replay, and certainly no official review. Referee Fred Swearingen halted the action and there was on-field discussion among the crew. Swearingen eventually walked away to phone the press box and speak with Art McNally, the supervisor of officials for the NFL.
Was Raiders linebacker Phil Villapiano clipped, as many asserted? Were the officials concerned for their safety, as some Raiders insisted?
Sometime later, as much as 20 minutes according to witnesses, Swearingen signaled a touchdown. Pittsburgh had the lead and, well, the victory that sent it into the AFC Championship game.
The Raiders trudged off the field, as stunned and angry as the owner's son, who was more than 2,000 miles away and on the brink of tears.
Mark Davis also braced for the late-night return of his parents. Though his mother generally maintained a sense of perspective, his father was a notoriously driven football man who would not be satisfied by anything less than a Super Bowl title.
There was no epic blowup, relatively speaking.
"It was kind of the same as usual," Mark Davis says, "I don't know if it was any different after that game than many other times. With my dad, there was always the 'us-against-them' attitude, that we were getting screwed in any situation if there was a chance for it."
No, the pleasure was in Pittsburgh. It was then, still is now.
While the Raiders lament and denounce this moment in history -- Villapiano insists he was clipped but credits Harris for making a clean catch -- the Pittsburgh continuously celebrates it. The "Immaculate Reception" has been reenacted by the principals, complete with Harris jogging toward the end zone in a ball cap and street clothes. It's one of the main attractions at the Pittsburgh satellite of the Smithsonian Institution, film of the play running every five minutes, every day, every year.
At Pittsburgh International Airport, there are two large statues in the main terminal. One is of George Washington. The other is of Harris in the familiar pose, bent at the waist, gripping the ball above his shoe tops.
"I still believe we should have won that game," Davis says. "But when you go to the airport in Pittsburgh, you know they feel different.
"And the thing that kills me is it's replayed every year. Then you walk into the Pittsburgh airport and there's Franco catching the (expletive) ball. It doesn't go away."

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1993 Winter/Spring Tour."
Rift gets moved to the opener spot and this one was ok, better with the timing problems. Guelah was pretty solid except for the end where it seemed Page was off a bit. Melt was really good, and Sparkle was pretty standard. Divided Sky was good and rocking for the most part, but had some weak spots toward the ending. Fee was good and had quite a volume increase, like the taper or Paul adjusted the levels. Trey really rushed getting into a rocking Maze and Mike sounded frustrated. The top of Horn was cut most likely by an old tape flip. It's been a while for Horn and it shows, but not too bad. This is where it gets great as IDK unfolds with no Fishman solo; Page takes on last night's encore with various reviews. Very unique, check this out! Cavern had some feedback, but was otherwise ok to close up an average first set.
Poor Hear was good to open second set and the tape source sounds a little different. Tweezer rocked and included a slow down ending from Fish. Horse was good and it seemed like Trey is teasing ELP or someone like that. Silent is ok, but still not all the way there in the timing. Possum was good and we get a lot of Mike on the back half of this show continuing into an ok Mound. It had a few rough spots in it and then the Balls come out... Mike's Song was kind of a disaster for my ears. Just too many bad notes and I'm wondering if there were antics going on that would explain this. No Hydro tonight, or Week, as Trey leads them into YaMar? This one is a little rusty, and Page plays a piano solo instead of organ for some reason. More rust with an inexplicable Walk Away. Page was not ready with the lyrics for this tonight. HYHU brings Fish out for Love You and a vacuum solo and a messed up last verse. Tweeprise closed up the set nicely.
Grace was cut from the recording I heard and Rocky Top did its job to end on a high note.
The only reason I'm giving this four stars is for the IDK segment. It's truly priceless. I don't think I've ever heard Page talk so much on stage. Otherwise this show is more of a three and a half to me.

7 Winter Diet Tips Nutritionists Swear By
Prevent unwanted padding this season with the diet tips experts rely on to save their own waistlines
To make sure she gets enough fluids in the winter (ladies over 19 years old need about 2.7 liters a day), Eliot lays down her H2O goals: "When I'm at work, I fill a 16-ounce cup with water twice in the morning. I don't allow myself to head to lunch before I've finished the two cups. Then, I can't leave in the evening without having two more cupfuls. This really keeps me from feeling ravenous later in the day." To chase away chills and stay hydrated, Blatner loves hot green tea, which she points out, research says may potentially boost metabolism too.

Carlsbad restaurant will do just fine without number
Re: The "brew-haha" over the naming of Carlsbad's newest restaurant. Clay Harding, owner/operator of the 38 Degrees Ale House and Grill in Alhambra got his shorts all a-twist because Mayur Pavagadhi had the unmitigated temerity to name his new gastropub 38 Degrees Carlsbad.
Oh, come on. Does Mr. Harding really believe that the use of the temperature number 38 in a Carlsbad restaurant will have any possible impact on his business in Alhambra? Really? Mr. Pavagadhi and his operating partners, Steve and Anne Barr, have brought fine dining to a new, higher standard in Carlsbad Village. That their other restaurant, Catch, didn't catch was disappointing, but not a sign of witless entrepreneurs out to make a buck at Harding's expense. They'll do just fine without "his" number.
And Harding is quoted (on
TheFullPint.com) as saying: "Until I have something in writing stating he will not be using the 38 name and colors, this is not settled." Now he wants to own colors too? Egad!

Horse meat: Don't knock it 'til you try it
I am an 89-year-old World War II veteran who served in the Army from 1942 to 1946, two of them in the Asia/Pacific. On one of the islands run by the Navy, our team of 10 were invited to enjoy a "meat" meal, recently shipped in from Australia.
After a diet of "K" and/or "C" rations, anything had to be better. We dined and the meat was not bad. It was sweeter than a prime beef, but when we asked for seconds, we were told they had just enough for one serving each. Later, one of our team members said he knew what we had eaten and told us it was horse meat. He had this before in one of the southern states where he lived.
Though I have never had it again, I often wonder how many very poor and hungry people in our good oil' U.S.A. would relish this kind of meal. I'm not advocating this, I just know that it is not harmful to be eaten, so why knock it?

Common core versus common sense
Re: "Educators are getting to the core of new state standards," March 5: Common core teaching seems like another trip down memory lane that gave us the colossal failure of "sets and numbers" math teaching.
Sets and numbers required the children to learn a new language as an adjunct to learning how to do math. Can't the eggheads learn from the past and give the kids a basic foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then, in the middle and high school years, teach them how to balance a checkbook, create a "live within your means" budget, and, for those who are qualified for college, algebra, geometry and calculus?
Common sense would also tell us to try out something new in test markets to prove the value before leaping whole hog into expensive programs that may not work.

Unhappy with new version
I am extremely unhappy with the new version of the U-T San Diego North County. Encinitas is coastal San Diego and would like to have the San Diego news, not inland North County news.
Why can't I subscribe to the San Diego edition of the U-T here in Encinitas? In the past year, the paper has said "au revoir" to unbiased journalism, but now I don't even get the news of San Diego. Reading the paper in the morning used to be a fun experience, and I emphasize "used to be."
I sincerely wish you would at least let us subscribe to the regular San Diego edition here in Encinitas.

Do you feel safer?
Alessandra Colfi ("Keep our communities safe," March 3) thinks the Obama administration's gun control proposals will make our communities safer. After 25 years of semi-automatic bans, waiting periods, handgun rationing and registration in California, a felon just released from prison can still get any weapon he wants within hours of hitting the street. The Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut murderers were dangerously mentally ill persons. The National Rifle Association has pressed state and federal officials for decades to add the records of such individuals to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System database. Many states have yet to participate in providing this information. Darrell Issa, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman, repeatedly called on the administration's top cop, Eric Holder, to explain why the United States Department of Justice shipped thousands of semi-automatic weapons to the Mexican drug cartels during "Operation Fast and Furious." Mr. Holder stonewalled and President Obama exercised executive privilege to prevent release of documents pertinent to the investigation. Despite censure in Congress and the continuing civilian death toll in Mexico from the illegally transshipped weapons, Mr. Holder is still attorney general and leading the administration's gun ban and registration effort.

STOCKTON – A store clerk and a customer apparently didn't know what they were getting into when they chased a would-be robber out of a store in the 1700 block of North Wilson Way about 9:30 p.m. Sunday.
The suspect, a Latino man between 25 and 27 years old, 5 feet 4 inches and 180 pounds last seen wearing a black jacket, jeans and a Giants baseball cap, fled the store with two 12-packs of beer, according to police.
With the clerk and customer in pursuit, the suspect dropped the beer, punched the customer and pulled out a handgun, which he then used to shoot off three rounds into the air before fleeing without the beer.

WASHINGTON (January 13, 2013)--In the summer of 2011, a debt crisis like the current one loomed.
President Barack Obama warned Republicans then that older Americans might not get their Social Security checks unless there was a deal to raise the nation's borrowing limit and after weeks of brinkmanship, Republicans consented and Mr. Obama agreed to a deficit-reduction plan the GOP wanted.
Now there's a fresh showdown, and possible Social Security cuts are back on the table, along with other measures.
The government could run out of cash to pay all its bills in full as early as Feb. 15, according to one authoritative estimate, and Republicans want significant spending cuts in exchange for raising the borrowing limit.
Mr. Obama has pledged not to negotiate and without an agreement, every option facing his administration would be unprecedented.

EAGLE-VAIL - Beginning Sunday, Revolution Power Yoga is offering a five-week yoga series titled Back to Basics, led by Rachel Nelson.
Revolution Power Yoga offers this brand new series to people who have never done yoga, as well as yogis who have been practicing for years, or take classes here and there. This series will delve deep into the alignment principles used at Revolution Power Yoga called "true north alignment." True north was designed by yoga teacher Baron Baptiste, and uses the elements earth, water, fire and air to break down each yoga posture. New yogis and accomplished practitioners alike will benefit from connecting on a very simple level to the foundation of the yoga practice.
"Refinement is the key to mastery," said Rachel Nelson, yoga teacher and co-owner of Revolution Power yoga. "When we bring awareness to the basic alignment of a pose, we are able to fully explore where we are, and from there we can expand into all the possibilities that await us in our bodies and in life."
Each week of the series will focus on a different element, starting from the ground and moving up. The series intends to make a flowing, yoga practice accessible to everyone by breaking the poses down using the elements and 17 simple alignment cues.
"I love true north alignment," said Revolution Power Yoga teacher Mariah Schuette. "It really makes yoga simple. By incorporating the same elements into each pose, I really feel connected to my body and feel like I can get the most out of my practice, no matter how flexible or tight I feel."
Each session will last an hour and a half and consist of discussion and a physical yoga practice.
"We are excited to offer this series for anyone who has been timid to try yoga because they are afraid they won't know how. If you are a beginner looking to try out yoga for the first time, this is the series for you," Nelson said. "

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday Feb. 25, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C (WRDW) -- It's an issue people deal with every day as they cross the state line. Concealed weapons permits that don't transfer between Georgia and South Carolina, changing the rules of where your weapon can be every time you cross the river.
Now one South Carolina lawmaker is working to change the permits and make it easier for the people who live on the border.
Seventeen states have what is called a reciprocal agreement with South Carolina, making their permits valid in that state. Georgia is the only state that touches S.C. that does not honor the permit. The same goes the other way. Georgia has reciprocal agreements with 26 states, but not South Carolina.
"It's very frustrating because you have to be very cognizant of the fact that you cannot have that weapon unless it's stored in the vehicle pursuant to South Carolina law," said Gene Staulcup, who has been a private investigator for more than 30 years.
Staulcup lives in Georgia, but his business often takes him across the state line into South Carolina. His concealed weapon permit, though, isn't welcome there.
"We have to go into a lot of dangerous areas sometimes late at night. We also serve a lot of papers for the court," Staulcup said.
He's not the only one who deals with the issue.
"You have people working in Georgia and living in South Carolina and vice versa, so it's quite a concern about a number of folks," Staulcup said.
"The water, the state line, we don't think anything of it," said South Carolina Rep. Bill Hixon.
He hears the concerns every day.
"I get that question all the time," Hixon said. "I have friends that live in Augusta and they want to get a S.C. gun permit."
Right now to get a permit in South Carolina, you must pay property taxes on real property, like a house and not a car.
Hixon says that's the first thing he's looking to change.
"If he wants to come to our state and take our test, as far as legals and shooting, he could get an out-of-state gun permit ," Hixon said. "Not require them to be a taxpayer."
A reciprocal agreement between the states is still missing.
"The reciprocal agreements to me is where the rubber meets the road," Hixon said. "South Carolina and Georgia should have something in working, and I'm gonna pursue that."
Hixon says he's working with SLED right now and will be meeting with lawmakers in Georgia as well. He says the hardest part is being the only area on a border state affected by this since sometimes it can be difficult to get lawmakers in Greenville and Columbia to understand why this is so important.
In South Carolina, if you do not have a gun permit, there are four places your gun can be in your vehicle: the glove box, the center console, a locked container or the trunk. Once you cross the bridge, the gun must be in plain sight.

Spring might take a little longer to get going in the mountains than it does in other parts of the world, but that doesn't stop Vail from celebrating the season in the biggest way possible - with five days of free concerts, on-snow competitions and both apres and after-dark parties.
More than a decade ago Spring Back to Vail was just an idea; something to entice guests to visit Vail for one last hurrah during what was otherwise a slow time in town. Looking at the event now, it's hard to believe that closing weekend in Vail could have ever been considered "slow." Spring Back to Vail is a destination each year for many people who come into town just for the festivities.
This year's Spring Back festivities, part of Vail's 50th anniversary celebration, will include concerts from O.A.R., Sublime with Rome and Jimmy Cliff and the always entertaining World Pond Skimming Championships on Sunday. And, no doubt, it will be music to concertgoers' ears to hear that admission to all concerts and events is free.
"The free concert model has been very successful here at Vail since we introduced it in 2009," said Davy Ratchford, director of marketing and sales at Vail. "It's a great way to give back to our guests and close out a fantastic 50th anniversary season."
According to bassist Benj Gershman, the boundless energy of the audiences in Vail is what has alt-rockers O.A.R. coming back for the band's third performance at a major Vail festival. O.A.R. played at Spring Back to Vail in 2009 and Vail Snow Daze in 2010.
"It's an awesome environment - a perfect environment for O.A.R." Gershman said. "The people in Colorado have huge energy. The crowds are always lively and excited, which always makes it a great show for us."
Formed in 1996, O.A.R. built itself from the ground up into one of the biggest names in rock through word-of-mouth buzz and extensive summer touring. Fresh off the release of their live album and DVD, "Live on Red Rocks," which was recorded last summer at the iconic Colorado venue, the band members have spent time in the studio working on their next major release. The upcoming studio album will be the band's eighth in its nearly 20-year history.
"We have been working on it for a long time," Gershman said. "We hope to have it out before the end of the year."
Sublime with Rome
The band Sublime and its new frontman Rome Ramirez have something in common - both were born in 1988. Up until Ramirez's debut with the band in 2009, the iconic ska/punk band hadn't played a show since the untimely death of their original vocalist, Bradley Nowell, in 1996. Before meeting Ramirez, who grew up to listening to Sublime, surviving members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh had no intention of reforming the band. It wasn't until they came across Ramirez that the idea even seemed plausible.
"Before I met Rome, I'd just never met anybody that could fill Bradley shoes, so to speak," said bassist Eric Wilson in a recent interview. "But he's up there in talent and he's a great musician."
Jimmy Cliff
When someone mentions reggae music, Jimmy Cliff probably isn't the first name that comes to mind. Most people are unaware he opened the door for reggae to move outside of Jamaica and into the popular mainstream in the late '60s and early '70s. And, yes, that means that Cliff was on the scene before Bob Marley.
Though Cliff has been making music for more than 40 years and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he's nowhere close to slowing down. His most recent studio album, "Rebirth," won him the 2013 Grammy for Best Reggae Album and was a project that, according to Cliff, represented his own artistic rebirth as well as a rebirth for the world.
"I have been thinking about my career since they year 2000 kicked in. OK, this new time that we're in, what am I going to do with myself? What do I do with the goals I have set? Where do I start? How do I do it?" Cliff said in a recent interview. "And then, in 2009 I was told that I was selected to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2010 I was inducted. That was like, OK, this is a stepping-stone. This is where I start my career all over again."
World Pond Skimming Championships
To the common man, it would not seem reasonable to attempt to cross a large pond of freezing cold water on skis or a snowboard. However, for the brave few who attempt to do just that at the World Pond Skimming Championships each year in Vail, it's not only reasonable, it sounds fun.
"I was drawn to pond skimming after watching old ski videos - Warren Miller comes to mind - and some newer videos involving hotel pools," said Andrew Orr, a winner of the 2012 World Pond Skimming Championships. "I keep coming back every to try and win, but it's also a really fun event to be a part of."
For the competition, folks dress up in costumes - penguins, neon wigs, sequins lycra suits and more - and bomb down the run in an attempt to keep their heads above water on the frigid pond below.
"I have to keep my costume close to chest," Orr said. "It could be the difference maker this year if a lot of people make it across."
A fixture of the closing day tradition in Vail, the World Pond Skimming Championships draws competitors of all ages and abilities - even pro skiers like Jonny Moseley and Chris Anthony. The event is limited to a field of 25 competitors. This year, the grand prize of an Epic Pass for the 2013-2014 season will be awarded to the top male and female competitors.

Obama Warns Republicans of Dire Consequences
WASHINGTON–President Barack Obama again urged Republicans to pass a bill to fund the government and then vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling, saying not doing so would have dire consequences for the U.S. and world economies.
Mr. Obama, in Friday afternoon remarks from the White House, said Republicans need to decide whether they want to keep the government running or continue to insist on defunding the president's signature health-care law and have the government shut down.
More In Budget Battle
"I realize that a lot of what's taking place right now is political grandstanding, but this grandstanding has real effects on real people," Mr. Obama said, adding that military personnel won't get paid if the government shuts down and other government services will close.
Mr. Obama said to Republicans: "There will be areas where we can work together. There will be areas where we disagree. But do not threaten to burn the house down simply because you haven't gotten a hundred percent of your way."
His comments come after the Senate, voting along party lines, approved a bill designed to avoid a partial government shutdown next week. That bill would fund federal agencies for the first month and a half of the fiscal year, which begins Tuesday and includes money for the new federal health-care law, which Republicans oppose.
The legislation now goes to the House, where Republicans have said they won't pass it because it includes money for the health law. That sets up a weekend of legislative volleying.
In his remarks, Mr. Obama said the possibility of a shutdown is likely already damping the U.S. economy. Moreover, once the budget issue is resolved, lawmakers face another deadline on raising the debt ceiling, which allows the U.S. to continue paying its bills.
The remarks did nothing to soften the GOP position.
"The House will take action that reflects the fundamental fact that Americans don't want a government shutdown and they don't want the train wreck that is Obamacare," said Brendan Buck, spokesman for Speaker of the House John Boehner (R., Ohio).

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama Wednesday morning telephoned his congratulations to the plaintiffs in a gay marriage case before the Supreme Court.
The White House later released a statement hailing the decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act, declaring the court "has righted a wrong, and our country is better off for it."
Obama decided in 2011 to stop defending the 1996 law, concluding that it was legally indefensible.In a statement issued while he was flying on Air force One to Africa Wednesday, Obama said he had directed Attorney General Eric Holder to work with others in his administration to make sure federal law reflects the court's decision.
"This was discrimination enshrined in law," he said. "We are a people who declared that we are all created equal - and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
Acknowledging that many Americans object to gay marriage on religious grounds, he stressed that nothing in the decision changes how religious institutions define and consecrate marriage.
His statement came moments after he telephoned his congratulations to gay rights advocate Chad Griffin and plaintiffs in a California gay marriage case.
"Through your courage, you're helping out a whole lot of people." Obama told them.
Press secretary Jay Carney, speaking with reporters traveling on the presidential aircraft with Obama, said White House staff people were "monitoring news of the decision online" from Air Force One. He said the moment there had been word of the ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act, invalidating the section defining marriage as being between a man and a woman, the presidential jet lost Internet and cable connectivity.
Carney said staff members at the Executive Mansion phoned Air Force One with additional details about the rulings and said that Obama spoke with White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler.
The spokesman said Obama put Griffin and the plaintiffs' legal team on speaker phone told and told them that "today's ruling is a victory," even if the high court did not directly address the constitutionality of Proposition 8.
Earlier in the day, Obama telephoned gay rights advocate Chad Griffin, who had the couple in a California gay marriage case listen in.
The White House confirmed that Obama placed the call as he flew to Africa aboard Air Force One.
