Different people come at learning to telemark ski from vastly different angles, experience levels and skill sets.
What's often the same is the eagerness to give it a try, and the determination to learn.
That much was evident in Friday's group lesson at Arapahoe Basin, one of the few resorts in the area that guarantees an opportunity to learn telemarking in Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning lessons.
"It's one of the things that makes A-Basin unique," said Leslie Walker, snowsports supervisor.
Diane Beavers, a pharmacist on the Front Range, approached telemark skiing having snowboarded for the past seven years of her life. It was the only "sliding" she was recently familiar with, and not only was the motion different, so, too, was the gear.
However, she was eager to learn. With days off from work and a pass in hand, she wanted to get to the slopes, and opted to try something new as she awaited snowfall to bring out her board full-force.
Meanwhile, on Friday, instructor Tim Stroh had a challenge on his hands: a sideways slider coupled with an experienced skier in a group lesson.
He first went over the basics: clipping into the bindings, finding a balanced, two-footed stance, and shuffling the feet and maintaining that balance.
He stuck mostly to the beginner section of Arapahoe Basin, the Molly Hogan lift and learning area, but the setup was ideal for what was such a varied group lesson. Stroh was able to talk to one student on the lift as the other skied with him, practicing drills. Then he'd switch.
"You both need different things to support you at your level," he said.
Stroh focused on teaching the minute movements that make up telemark skiing: shuffling the feet while maintaining a balanced telemark stance, the subtle knee shifts that release the ski's edges, looking down the slope instead of across the hill to initiate a turn, and ways to feel comfortable with the foreign telemark turn.
Progress is visible in a lesson, and it's something that excites instructors when their students get it, and frustrates them when they don't, Stroh said. On Friday, he was excited.
So was Beavers.
Midway through the laps on Molly Hogan, she asked Stroh where she could get second-hand telemark gear.
Stroh was thrilled.

J.C. Penney Downgraded; Liquidity Concerns Mount
J.C. Penney near-term prospects aren't looking so hot, UBS says.
The firm warns a combination of a "deteriorating earnings outlook" and mounting signs of "cash-flow distress" will require the struggling retailer to make big changes to its turnaround strategy.
"In our view, ongoing deeply negative sales declines and rapid cash burn could compromise JCP's ability to sustainably self-fund the investments needed for its turnaround strategy in its current form," UBS analyst Michael Binetti wrote in a note to clients Friday morning.
He downgraded J.C. Penney's rating to sell from neutral, while slashing his price target to $13 from $21.
Shares recently fell 4.7% to $18.25. The stock is down more than 45% over the last 12 months.
J.C. Penney is in the midst of a massive turnaround under former Apple Inc. retail executive Ron Johnson, who took over the CEO position in November 2011. The company's sales have tumbled in recent quarters.
Johnson has said he isn't in favor of diverging from his initial strategy of limiting discounts in favor of broadly lower everyday prices. But as we noted last month, it appeared the company became more flexible with its pricing strategies during the holiday season.
While the stock price rebounded a bit during the holiday season, the shift in strategy looks like it could come at a price. Binetti says he is "increasingly concerned" about the company's near-term earnings trends.
"We believe trends were decelerating at the end of the third quarter and are concerned that a reversion to in-store discounting likely signals further deceleration in the fourth quarter," he says. "We believe both the pricing and the new shop rollout strategies are at risk, and the cash preservation outlook is becoming increasingly concerning."
With regards to the company's cash position, UBS estimates the retailer ended 2012 with a little more than $700 million on the books. That would mark a significant deterioration from last year's $1.5 billion ending balance, the firm says.
"We are incrementally concerned about liquidity if the company can't reverse dismal sales trends in the near-term," Binetti says.

Honoring The Flag on Flag Day
Greetings from General Sarge HQ! Here I am checking in once again for another great patriotic day on the calendar.
Did you know Thursday, June 14th is Flag Day?
While Flag Day isn't an official federal holiday, it's been celebrated on June 14th for a long time. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which took place by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress way back in 1777!
That's 235 years ago!
In honor of the day I gathered a couple of my furry-friend recruits waiting for deployment to help fold the flag. You will also notice a certificate in this picture too. There's a New York State flag neatly folded in that package which New York State Senator Michael Nozzolio recently presented to my human-owners' parents! The flag was flown at the Albany, New York State Legislature building. We're going to send it to my human-owner PFC Ben in Afghanistan so he can fly it there and remember his home state.

Meg Whitman and the Long, Hard Slog at H-P
When Meg Whitman was hired 20 months ago as Hewlett-Packard's CEO, the first thing on her to-do list was improving marksmanship at the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.
On Wednesday, Ms. Whitman showed H-P actually can be competently managed. The Palo Alto, Calif., company used the fiscal second quarter to pay down $1.8 billion of debt, to cut costs and to overall pleasantly surprise investors who had lost faith in prior management after several writedowns of acquired businesses, confusing strategic shifts and an inability to hit financial forecasts.
But ticking off the next agenda items for H-P are likely to prove even tougher. Here's a look at Whitman's grocery list:
GET GROWING AGAIN: H-P investors may have forgotten what revenue growth looks like. H-P hasn't reported year-over-year quarterly growth in nearly two years, and Whitman has cautioned investors not to expect a green top line this year. The 10% revenue drop in the fiscal second quarter ended April 30 was the worst quarterly decline since at least 2005.
"We believe that we can still grow revenue; it's still possible in 2014," Whitman said in an interview Wednesday. Still, she cautioned financial improvements won't be "linear" (i.e. not necessarily in every business line, and some quarters still could look ugly even after this year.)
H-P has done better than investors have expected in cutting jobs and costs to squeeze slow-or-no-growth businesses like PCs and printers for cash, to funnel investment money to areas it believes are more promising. But the PC business has been dropping like a stone, with second-quarter operating profit less than half the level of a year ago. The dropoff is hurting H-P's ability to scoop water from the sinking boat to pour into new businesses.
And the deeper question is whether H-P has the chops to bind together what traditionally has been very separate divisions selling PCs, servers, computer storage, networking equipment to move digital data, software and other pieces, into a full-service shop for corporations' technology needs.
"Although we view more recent changes as directionally positive, they do not dispel the uncertainty around H-P's strategy and opportunity," Baird analyst Jayson Noland wrote Thursday in a research note.
H-P's share price, while it has perked up 70% this year, reflects doubts about the company's future. H-P shares trade at 6.8 times the average estimate for full-year earnings — the second-lowest valuation among companies in the S&P 500 that are expected to post profits. (Only Goodyear's valuation is a touch lower.)
RESHAPE THE BOARD — AGAIN: The H-P board has been under near-constant fire for several years, with three CEOs since 2010 and the disastrous acquisition of U.K. software maker Autonomy in 2011. Four H-P board members resigned and five new ones joined in early 2011.
Then early last month, Ray Lane stepped down as H-P's executive chairman, and two other directors said they would quit the board after stockholders re-elected them to the board only with a scant majority.
H-P's temporary chairman promised in early April to "recruit a world-class chairman." No word yet. On Wednesday, Ms. Whitman said "the search is underway," and added "we're doing it as fast as we can."
Whitman said the scandals haven't hurt the company's ability to lure directors. H-P has "had a good deal of interest from well known, very accomplished business leaders," she said. "They understand this is an opportunity to participate in a resurgence of a global business icon."
THE AUTONOMY AFTERMATH: Whitman last fall said H-P was duped into buying Autonomy, and she said former company officials appeared to have willfully inflated the company's financials. Since then, she hasn't said much about H-P's accusations of improper accounting at Autonomy, which Autonomy's former CEO has denied.
Lawsuits are pending, one of which sues Whitman and other current or former H-P executives, directors and advisers, for botching the Autonomy deal. A May court filing, made by an H-P shareholder, said H-P management and board "failed to take accountability for failing to conduct due diligence and buying a non-existent technology" at Autonomy.
The H-P board has formed a special committee to advise management on how to address Autonomy-related litigation. Regulators in the U.S. and the U.K. have said they are looking into allegations of accounting impropriety at Autonomy.
In an indication the investigation is ongoing, the U.K. Serious Fraud Office has asked questions of former Autonomy officials, according to a person familiar with the matter.
"We have handed over our information of serious misrepresentations in Autonomy's accounting to the proper authorities, namely the SEC and the Department of Justice and in the UK the Serious Fraud Office," H-P said in a statement Thursday. "We continue to cooperate and provide requested information to the relevant authorities on an ongoing basis."
–Ian Sherr contributed to this post.
This post has been corrected. An earlier version incorrectly said a special committee of H-P's board is looking into how the company handled the acquisition of Autonomy. H-P says the committee is advising management on how to handle litigation related to the Autonomy deal.

Why Kanye West Is Not in Fashion in the World of Style
In a major rant at radio host Sway Calloway this week Kanye West went full tilt against the fashion establishment that is preventing him from unleashing his artistry-in-apparel on the world:
"I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney. Nike. Google. Now, who's going to be the Medici family and stand up and let me create more? Or do you want to marginalize me til I'm out of my moment?"
Dear Kanye Warhol-Shakespeare-Disney-Google-West,
So you want to be a fashion designer! You actually did launch a fashion label. A couple of them. There was Pastelle, which you announced in 2006 and cancelled in 2009 without actually producing it, despite a lot of teasing.
And there was Kanye West, or DW Kanye West – people were confused about the name, which come to think of it, might have been a hint there could be a problem with the branding. You showed that line in Paris. Twice.
Everybody who is anybody was excited for you, and all the right people showed up – except for Lindsay Lohan, what was she doing there? – so you had the attention of Anna Wintour and Terry Richardson and Carine Roitfeld, which most young designers would just die for. Chanel Iman walked in your show and Karla Otto did the publicity, so honestly, you had the best opportunity any newbie designer could possibly have.
And it was, it really was, unforgettable. I will never again look at Fred Flintstone without recalling your fur backpacks for Spring 2012. Your instincts improved the second season, but the go-karts at your after party were more memorable than the clothes you showed. And then you walked away in a huff. None of that dusting yourself off and trying again, letting your backers – and stores – know you're in it for the long haul.
Yet for some reason, neither Mark Parker, Francois-Henri Pinault nor Bernard Arnault – the Medicis of fashion today – will hire you to design apparel for Nike, Kering or LVMH.
Let's see – what could the problem be?
You have 21 Grammys and six consecutive number-one albums. Given who you are, I imagine that retailers would forgive you the bad design – there's plenty of it on store racks every day. But there's something that even retailers can't overlook.
In order to be sold, clothes have to be produced. Regularly. Stores expect labels to deliver new styles every month to three months, year round. You said it was a fashion label, not a capsule collection. Didn't your pals in fashion, like Ricardo Tisci, Peter Dundas and Olivier Theyskens, tell you about the "commercial collections" that they don't put on their runways – the ones designed by their assistants, which stores gobble up?
I'm going to let you in on a secret. Fashion designers work through other people. They glad-hand their investors, build their brands through public appearances, and inspire design assistants to get the draping right – in the colors and prints they cooked up in their brains and then handed off to someone else. All that is pretty much a full time job. Even Victoria Beckham and the Olsen twins gave up their entertainment careers when they turned to design.
Also, and this is just a little thing – Francois-Henri Pinault might take it to heart that you called him, in your very entertaining rant about how he won't give you the time of day – by his dad's name, Francois. Another thing — not all French luxury executives are named Francois. Mr. Arnault is Bernard. And he's a stickler for details, so here's hoping he doesn't see your tirade trending on YouTube.
You told Sway that you have lost $13 million a year chasing your fashion dream. Yet there are rumors that you are at it again, and as always, perplexingly. Among the evidence were posts on LinkedIn seeking to hire a head of production and a chief financial officer for a Kanye West clothing project. The ad refers to your "success in high fashion" – uhh ohh – and says your brand will "bring accessible style to malls and other outlets across America and around the world."
You go, Mr. Warhol-Shakespeare!

Broke Free of Drug. Is Husband Next?
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:39 a.m.
Adapted from a recent online discussion:
HI, CAROLYN: I've been married for five years. My husband can be a big bully, going so far as to throw things around and be really hurtful and insulting. I've been in therapy basically since we got married, and I left him shortly after our wedding after a particularly scary fight. We reconciled, he worked on his anger management, and I continued therapy.
We are both marijuana addicts. After a few relapses over the past couple of years, I've been clean of marijuana for four months. He continues to smoke daily and has many excuses for not giving up. My career is going very well, I've gotten myself out of debt and have a good social network. I am able to support myself.
Four months ago we had another fight in which he threw things and kicked the stuffing out of our garbage can. Over the last four months I have been basically planning our divorce, and talking to him about my feelings. He does not ever want to hear how it affects me — it's a "not this again" sort of response.
So, what's stopping me? I believe it's fear, and feeling like a huge hypocrite. I am no better than he is, and not sure yet if I am really self-aware enough not to make several more serious mistakes in my life. I want peace and security, and that has brought me back from the brink of divorce so many times. Not sure what I'm asking here.
Leaving wouldn't make you "better than he is," any more than staying would declare you his equal or inferior or whatever else. Even as a couple, you have your life, he has his, and it's not an inner-beauty contest.
Your only responsibility here is to make a (deceptively) simple decision about the right path for you, using the best information you have. And that information is, if I'm reading your letter correctly:
You're unhappy in your marriage.
You've established boundaries, and your husband has crossed them.
You have expressed to him your feelings and needs; he has chosen not to honor them.
You are in a position to stand on your own, financially and emotionally.
Does that help clarify your thinking?
There's no such thing as mistake-free living, so you can expect to make several more mistakes in your life with your husband or without — which means your doubts about your own progress have no bearing on whether you stay or go.
"Peace and security" come in many forms, but you're neither peaceful nor secure if you can't trust the source.
A necessary caveat: Leaving violent people is necessary, but risky. 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

ALAMEDA -- Darren McFadden returned to practice for the first time Wednesday since suffering a right high ankle sprain Nov. 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and could be available to face the Cleveland Browns.
Also on the field was backup running back Mike Goodson, who had the same injury and like McFadden missed the past three games -- all of which the Raiders lost.
Both players were limited, and while it's not known if either will play, or how much, coach Dennis Allen said fullback Marcel Reece has staked his claim to some more carries.
While both backs were out, Reece carried 48 times for 225 yards in three games, averaging 4.7 yards per carry.
"Marcel has earned the right to carry the ball some,'' Allen said. "We'll use him in that capacity.''
Reece also has 41 receptions for 447 yards and leads the Raiders with 672 yards from scrimmage.
"We need to give him the ball all the time the way he makes plays,'' Goodson said.
Quarterback Carson Palmer said that upon McFadden's return, having established Reece as a legitimate running threat will be beneficial.
"It gives us another dimension,'' Palmer said. "The way he's run, you don't expect a fullback to come in and be the starting tailback and be as good as he's been.''
Pryor has been inactive for all 11 games as the Raiders have not put in any wildcat packages or formations that could make use of his size, speed and athleticism.
Allen first broached the possibility at his Monday media briefing, which is how Pryor got the news.
"I haven't talked to him about it yet,'' Pryor said. "I heard about it, but I haven't heard it personally, firsthand.''
It didn't matter since Jacksonville, with a 2-9 record, had priority over the Raiders and received the claim. Babin is due $1.6 million for the remainder of the season.

5 Opinions
You can use iChat with MSN. Read matt0ne's comment.
I have some friends who own Macs and a lot of friends using Windows. To chat to both parties it looks like Adium is doing a better job. And if i need a quick video conference I'm using Skype.
Sorry apple, nice try but I really don't need that application.
I like Adium better, but my son sometimes wants an audio chat. This happens often enough that I switched back to iChat. Chax makes this choice less painful.
download iChax for full use of this app. I also use jabber to connect to the MSN network (no audio/files/vid)
Shame about the videoChat issues.
Excellent interface.
Audio chat works well with the built in microphone on my iBook and eMac. Manages echo much better than Skype and can be used without headphones. Audio quality is better than Skype, but doesn't support calls to telephones like SkypeOut
Video chat needs minimum 256k upload capacity from your ADSL/Cable ISP account to ensure reasonable video quality.
Can be very difficult to impossible to get working with some ADSL modems, be prepared to waste many hours debugging your modem setup.
Direct file transfer between users is fast.

Dale Lott couldn't believe what he received in the mail.
"We were shocked ... we felt we had no choice. Who wants a lien put against them?" asks Lott.
You probably would be shocked, too, if you had to pay for a new driveway twice.
"We paid a little over $1,700 dollars … two times," says Lott.
The problem happened after the general contractor failed to pay the sub-contractor.
"Lesson learned. People who have any kind of work make sure the contractor can provide proof that all the bills have been paid," says Lott.
Sharon Werner with the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Consumer Fraud Division says that's good advice.
"You're stuck ... the best way to avoid this is education stories like you're doing to alert homeowners," says Werner.
Kansas law allows subcontractors to file liens against homeowners in certain circumstances even if a full payment has been made. The law is complicated, but protecting yourself doesn't have to be.
"It doesn't take that long to get a lien release signed. If you don't, you may encounter these kinds of difficulties," says Werner.
Homeowners should request a list of all subcontractors and suppliers from their contractor. Before payment is made, ask for lien waivers from the contractor and subcontractors.
"I being the suspicious person would call all those subcontractors to make sure they have been paid in full."
Advice Lott wishes he learned sooner, but now wants to pass his lesson to you.
"I would want other homeowners to know lien law is complicated. Just protect yourself from the get go," says Lott.
FactFinder 12 Investigators reached out to the general contractor who installed Lott's driveway. He tells us he is making things right with his subcontractor and will refund the money to the Lotts within 45 days.

Woman wounds her fiance at range
MYAKKA CITY: Bullet casing in shirt leads to shooting; he is expected to live
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 7:53 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Startled by a hot bullet casing that fell into her shirt, a woman accidentally shot her fiance in the leg at a firing range Saturday, says the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
Jared Gould, 33, and Lauren Shaw, 28, were among a large group of people shooting at the Manatee Gun and Archery Club in Myakka City about 2 p.m. Shaw was firing a Taurus 1911 .45-caliber pistol when a casing flew from the gun and landed inside her shirt.
Shaw flinched, trying to keep the hot casing off of her skin by bending over and swatting it out of her shirt. As she did, she unintentionally pointed the pistol at her fiance's leg and fired it, deputies say.
The bullet hit Gould in his right thigh, passing through his leg.
Gould was immediately treated at the range and transported to Manatee Memorial Hospital for more treatment. His wound was not life-threatening; he was expected to be discharged from the hospital later that day.
Deputies ruled it was an accidental shooting after interviewing an independent witness at the gun range and several of the people in the group, who all gave information consistent with the story from the engaged couple.
No charges are being filed, the sheriff's office said.
The gun club, a local nonprofit devoted to shooting sports, has a 1,000-yard range open to the public. The range has expanded in the past decade, and in 2010, the nonprofit implemented several new safety measures to prevent accidents, according to the group's website.
One serious accident could "put us out of business," the group's newsletter said that year, like other ranges that have been permanently closed because of safety violations.

Boyfriend comes in late, girlfriend stabs him, police say
Published: Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 12:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 12:38 p.m.
A Houma woman is accused of stabbing her boyfriend because he stayed out too late Saturday night.
Kera Dupre, 21, 108 Helena Drive, confronted the unidentified man and stabbed him in the leg when he failed to return home "at a reasonable hour," Terrebonne sheriff's Capt. Dawn Foret said.
The man was "bleeding profusely" from the knife attack, she added. He's expected to recover.
Dupre was booked into the Terrebonne jail on one count of second-degree battery, which carries a penalty of up to five years in jail upon conviction.

Editorial: Be cautious during wildfire season
This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
During the last several days, WXII has aired dramatic video of wildfires in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and even several grass fires in Winston-Salem.
Last year, more than 14,500 square miles -- an area bigger than the state of Maryland -- was charred by fire nationwide.
There are steps you can take to make these fires preventable.
First, be aware of the restrictions in your area when it comes to burning leaves. If you're a smoker, make sure you properly dispose of your waste.
Homeowners should keep roof surfaces, gutters and chimneys clean, and keep your yard trimmed and free from debris. There are more prevention tips provided by the North Carolina Forest Service, including open burning guidelines and fire safety outdoors.
Let's work together to make this wildfire season a safe one in North Carolina and Virginia.

To the Editor:
WAHS [Wallenpaupack Area School District] is making a big mistake by pulling prayer from their commencement service.
The Separation of Church & State argument does not hold up! If an educated American reads the US Constitution, they will discover that the phrase does not exist!
Thomas Jefferson purportedly wrote the phrase in a letter. The idea stems from protecting religious expression from the control of the government & the king/despots.
Yet, this is the thing that is happening!
No school has had to pay a fine or be censured for allowing prayer - in spite of threats and bullying to the contrary. Prayer lasts a couple of minutes as the assembly asks God for a blessing. TAKE THE BLESSING! If you don't want it, then play with your Iphone, stick fingers in your ears, go to the bathroom, but do not stop others from enjoying the benefits/right of prayer. Pray to YOUR god or goddesses, and I defend your right. FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. There is too much fear of government, bullies, and lawyers. Why?
Democracy is in grave danger. Don't take this laying down, people. Rise up and let your voice be heard. YOUR religious expression and freedom is at stake. Beware! WAHS, don't tuck and run. Stand your ground and stop being afraid of the bullies. Show the students the power of democracy and faith. Much is on the line...
God help you... and us all.
Rev. Che' Weber
First Assembly of God

By Lynn O'Shaughnessy
A nationally recognized higher-ed expert and speaker, who is the author of The College Solution, a bestseller, and the creator of The College Solution blog. The 2nd edition of her book — The College Solution — will be released on Amazon on May 24, 2012.
Originally posted on January 30, 2012 here
I wrote a post for my CBS MoneyWatch college blog on Friday that blew out Antioch College's server.
How did I do that? Actually, it wasn't me. I was just the messenger for the liberal arts college that had a dramatic announcement to make.
For the next three years, Antioch College in Yellow Springs, OH, is offering all its incoming students full-ride tuition scholarships. With this year's tuition valued at $26,500, each four-year scholarship is worth at least $106,000. It doesn't matter what your family's income is, every accepted student will get the same deal.
The offer will be even better for some students, who file for financial aid and can't afford the room and board, which is currently $8,628.
Obviously, when you write that a college is handing out six-figure scholarships to all its students, it attracts a lot of attention. So what is the catch?
As I mention in my CBSMoneyWatch post, Antioch, which was founded by abolitionists in 1850, is crawling out of the grave.
Thanks to horrifically poor management, the liberal arts college shuttered its doors in 2008. Loyal alumni went ballistic and their donations helped to bring the school back to life. The reborn school's first class (35 students) showed up last fall and Antioch is in the process of taking applications for the next crop of freshmen. Antioch is aiming for 65 to 75 new students in the fall and hopes to have about 300 enrolled students by 2015.
Don't Believe Everything You Read
Antioch College is one of the 40 colleges that the late Loren Pope, a former New York Times education editor and college counselor, wrote about in his classic book, Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change The Way You Think About Colleges. Pope wrote the book, which has been incredibly popular for many years, after becoming an unabashed and tireless champion of liberal arts colleges.
The last edition of Colleges That Change Lives is outdated — the most recent version came out in 2006. I thought it was unfortunate and embarrassing that the book was praising Antioch after its (temporary) demise. Pope should have known before updating his book that Antioch had been in what one alumni called a "slow-motion decline" for many years. Here is one graduate's harrowing account of Antioch College's demise.
In my own book, The College Solution (the second edition will be coming out this spring!), I used Antioch's press coverage to illustrate that you can't believe everything you read about a college. (That advice applies to college rankings too!) For instance, months before Antioch folded, US News & World Report's Best Colleges guide singled out Antioch for its small class sizes (the school had very few students left!) and its "outstanding" internship program.
Colleges That Change Lives
While Colleges that Change Lives is outdated, I do think that it is a wonderful book to get a sense of what liberal arts colleges are all about. Coincidentally, my two children happened to attend schools that are featured in the book — Beloit College and Juniata College. The 40 colleges profiled in the book formed an organization, Colleges That Change Lives, and you can find information on all these school on its website.
As a group, the CTCL colleges make appearances throughout the year; here is the link to where the schools will be holding events in 2012. I counted appearances in 22 cities.

Tristan Straw, son of Jeff and Carol Straw, a student at Camdenton High School, has been selected as one of 330 students to attend the 2014 Missouri Scholars Academy (MSA), a three-week residential program held from June 8-28 on the campus of the University of Missouri.
Founded in 1985, MSA is celebrating its 30th season this year.
The goals of the academy are to help gifted students achieve their full potential and motivate them to use their abilities to attain high standards of achievement.
Every public and private high school in the state is allowed to nominate at least one student for the academy. Academically, students represent the top one-half of one percent of the state's sophomore class. No grades or credits are awarded through the program.
Students attending MSA will be exposed to a wide range of activities as well as to intensive instruction in their chosen area of specialization. The faculty is composed of outstanding teachers from high schools throughout the state. Guest speakers, performers, discussions and career education will be combined with extracurricular and social activities.
Straw is also involved in the Pride of Lake Marching Band, LASER 3284 Robotics Team, and the Laker Boys Golf team. He is an Eagle Scout with Troop 29.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Dust Devils could have used their big hitter in Wednesday's Division I-A volleyball match.
With Dayton struggling in the absence of junior standout Madison Foley, the three-time defending state champion Wolverines made quick work of the visitors with a win in straight sets, 25-16, 25-13 and 25-17.
The Wolverines did have their big hitter, junior outside hitter Mackenzie Redner, and they went to her often as they pulled away from the Dust Devils down the stretch of each set. Redner finished with a match-high 15 kills, which equaled Dayton's total as a team.
Mel Jones added seven kills and Chelsea Mohun five, while Truckee tallied 32 kills as a team. Senior setter Gabby Moretti was in on almost every one, finishing with 31 assists. Dayton had 11 assists total.
But it was the Wolverines' serving game that impressed head coach Erika Murphy most, highlighted by the three service aces apiece from Jones, Redner and Moretti.
"Our serving was much better tonight," Murphy said. "It was like a first attack for us because it was disruptive. It was not letting them run the offense they wanted."
Game 1 remained tight early before Dayton scored six straight points take its largest lead of the match, at 9-4. Truckee steadily cut into the lead until knotting the score at 12 and then outscored the Dust Devils 13-3 to earn the win.
Truckee never trailed in the second set, which was tied 6-6 until the Wolverines used a 5-0 run to stretch their lead to 11-7, then a 4-0 run to extend it to 15-7. Truckee ended the game on a 6-0 run as the Dust Devils began committing more unforced errors with regularity.
To their credit, the Dust Devils played the Wolverines tough in the first half of the third set, which remained closely contested with eight ties and five lead changes. But Truckee took over the lead for the final time at 15-14 and never looked back as it outscored Dayton 10-3 to close it out.
"Their coach always has them very disciplined. They're always a disciplined team," Murphy said of the Dust Devils. "I like to play them."
Dayton head coach Monica Halvorson said she thought her team played well without its top player, despite the outcome.
"I think everybody did a good job stepping up blocking, but we need to be more of a finishing team," Halvorson said. "We set it up, and then something happens and we don't finish it."
Murphy complemented the play of Mohun, whom she moved from middle blocker to the right side. "Chelsea had some really good hits," she said.
Truckee libero Kestlie Stefanelli finished with 18 digs, and Mohun had nine. For the Dust Devils, Taryn Schriner and Ashley Vickers each had five kills to lead the way.
After starting the season 16-1, Dayton has lost three straight to fall to 16-4 overall. Halvorson said Foley, the Dust Devils' kills leader, sprained her ankle last week in a loss at South Tahoe. She expects her to return next week.
Truckee is streaking in the opposite direction with six consecutive wins. After losing to a number of large schools in the season-opening High Sierra Tournament, the Wolverines are now 8-6 overall.
UP NEXT: Truckee will once again face off against schools several times its size at the Davis (Calif.) Varsity Tournament on Saturday. The Wolverines then host Whittell on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Many parts of the banana tree can be used for various purposes and are very useful. Banana, has great nutritive value and is a ready source of energy when you are tired and fatigued. Most of us know all about banana but many may not realize how the banana stem is good for health. After the tree has given fruit, the other layers of the stem of the tree is removed and the thick stem is removed and can be consumed in salads; if it is tender or it can be used in the form of vegetable or soup.
The banana stem is thick and fibrous and tastes a bit like banana. It is cooked in various forms in South India with dal, as a vegetable with coconut scrapings, as a salad or even soup. This stem is very good for weight loss as it has a lot of fiber. Since it is fiborous it adds bulk to what we eat and hence we may consume less. However it is best to exercise and carry on other weight loss methods along with it to aid weight loss and promote good health.
Banana stem is also good taken as a juice or soup which helps eliminate and treat kidney stone. It is an efficient diuretic helping to eliminate toxins from the body. Elimination of toxins is very important as we accumulate toxins from water, air and food. It is also good as a laxative, due to it's high fiber content. So people who have constipation problem would benefit by taking it at least 2 days a week. Besides it helps to cool the body. So you must have realized how good it is for our health.
Having realized how good banana stem is for our health, you should make it a point to include it at least one day in our weekly diet. Enjoy it as soups, vegetable, salad or as a juice. You could also mix it with dal and season it with green chillis ginger with the juice of lemon.
I am sure you would love banana stem and enjoy it at least once a week to lead a healthy and happy life.
Herbal remedies for urinary infection
Juice from banana stem (banana stem juice) is effective in treating a variety of urinary infections and to dissolve kidney, prostrate and gall bladder stones. Banana stem is the core of banana plant. Remove the leaf bracts to reach the banana stem that runs from the base of the plant and ends at the banana bunch. Crush the stem with any solid material to extract the juice. Drink a glass each in the morning and evening. The juice from leaf bracts are of no use in this regard.
Taking banana stem juice (vazhappindi neeru in Malayalam) is single best remedy for all types of kidney stones.
Bael fruit (Aegle Marmelos – Kuvalam) is also known to have positive effects on reducing urinary tract infection. Take ripe fruits fresh or make a drink. Leaves and bark of the tree are poisonous.
Take 2-3 glasses of lemon juice (lime juice) daily.
Drink 2 glass of carrot juice daily.
Water of a big tender coconut a day can give relief to urinary tract infection.

MARIETTA - Although the topics addressed weren't confined to the workplace, everything about the Washington County Career Center's Youth Safety Day Wednesday tied back in to employment.
"Think about what you want an employer to see," career center chief information officer Jerry Bradford told students about communicating online during a session on cyberbullying.
Bradford told students that more and more employers are checking out prospective employees' Facebook pages and social media activity as well as their resumes.

Lang Outdoor Power Equipment owner Doug Lang discusses chainsaw safety during the Washington County Career Center's fifth annual Youth Safety Day.
How a person conducts himself or herself online, even if responding to a cyberbully rather than being one, could be a factor in determining whether the person gets a job. Bradford advised students to respond to bullies with strategies like walking away, notifying an adult or confronting them non-violently, whether online or off.
"Find some way to address this professionally," he said. "We always want to be professionals."
Being a good employee means being a healthy one "both physically and mentally," said Steve Porter, transition and placement coordinator at the career center. That's why the event, held for juniors in collaboration with the Mid-Ohio Valley Safety Council and the Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce, included sessions on nutrition, fitness and drug abuse.
"We see this as an opportunity to bring area businesses and our school together to reinforce safety, whether it be going to work or school, on the job or at home," said Porter.
Washington County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Mark Warden shared stories of people whose lives had been turned upside down by drug abuse, including a young man who stole to fund his heroin habit after becoming addicted when a friend pressured him to try the drug and an 18-year-old who broke down in tears when his father's truck was seized over a drug deal that made him $50.
Haleigh Hendershot, a junior from Fort Frye High School, said that session stood out to her, especially Warden's sharing of his contact information with students.
"I know there are a lot of people I know that do (drugs)," she said. "The way he acted, if they ever tried to get me to do it, I know I could call him and count on him."
Another session that made an impression on students featured two Washington County Jail inmates discussing how substance abuse and other bad decisions impacted their lives.
"(One) was a father and a grandfather, and it kind of amazed me how anyone can get hooked on alcohol," said Sarah Sargent, a junior from Fort Frye.
Brittany Francis, a junior from Marietta High School, said both men appeared genuinely remorseful.
"They both seemed like sweethearts. I think they will turn it around," she said.
Elsewhere, David Farley, with CSX community affairs and safety, warned students to resist the temptation of going around railroad gates if they're in a hurry, telling them it was the same thing as running a red light.
"Police officer catches you, that's a bad day. But even more catastrophic is if you (pull out) in front of a train," he said.
Knowing a train always has the right of way because it can't slow down quickly or swerve can be important for a student who becomes a police officer or firefighter, Farley said. He also reminded students that there are placards at railroad crossings bearing a phone number people can call to report problems on the tracks.
In another classroom, Lang's Outdoor Power Equipment owner Doug Lang told students about how to safely use items like lawnmowers, chainsaws and weed trimmers.
"I feel like what I've got to say can make a difference," Lang said of why he has participated in Youth Safety Day for multiple years. "Every piece of equipment has a danger point to it. You need to respect the equipment."

As the governor's race heats up, we've seen our share of negative campaigning between the candidates.
But does it really work?
Candidates Cathy Cox and Mark Taylor are the top contenders for the Democratic primaries for the governor's race.
In the heated match between Cox and Taylor, they've both used the airwaves to deliver blows.
As the primary drew near, the campaigns became fiercer, the candidates taking off the gloves for a bare knuckled brawl.
On Monday, Cathy Cox's jet touched down at Augusta Regional Airport. Hours later, Mark Taylor arrived at Daniel Field.
Both were in town cheerleading their campaigns one last time with Augusta voters.
"It's going to take a governor like me who really has a history of bringing people together, not playing the games," Cox said. "Georgia voters are sick and tired of the games and the spitefulness of politics."
"The people of Georgia deserve to vote for a candidate for governor that has done something in their career," Taylor said.
Augusta State University political science professor Paul Harris says while voters don't like mud slinging, it does work.

TEXAS A&M - CORPUS CHRISTI (13-7, 8-1 SLC) vs. STEPHEN F. AUSTIN (12-8, 4-3 SLC)
Thursday, Oct. 17 • 7 p.m. • Dugan Wellness Center • Corpus Christi, Texas

CORPUS CHRISTI – After being on the road for its last three matches, the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team returns home to the Dugan Wellness Center Thursday, Oct. 17, to host Stephen F. Austin in the annual Dig Pink match for breast cancer awareness. In addition to the Southland Conference match, the first 300 fans in attendance will receive a free t-shirt and fans can enjoy a pre-match tailgate on the east lawn in front of the Dugan Wellness Center.

7.4-3 Obscenity as to Minors -- § 53a-196
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with obscenity as to minors. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of obscenity as to minors when (he/she) knowingly promotes to a minor, for monetary consideration, any material or performance which is obscene as to minors.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 -
Materials that are obscene to minor
The first element is that the (material / performance) is obscene as to minors. Material or performance is "obscene as to minors" if it depicts a prohibited sexual act and, taken as a whole, is harmful to minors. "Minor" means any person less than seventeen years old. "Harmful to minors" means any description or representation, in whatever form, of a prohibited sexual act, when that description or representation (A) predominantly appeals to the prurient, shameful or morbid interest of minors, (B) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors, and (C) taken as a whole it lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political or scientific value for minors. "Prurient" refers to lustful, lascivious or lewd propensities in persons.
"Prohibited sexual act" means erotic fondling, nude performance, sexual excitement, sado-masochistic abuse, masturbation or sexual intercourse. "Erotic fondling" means touching a person's clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if such person is a female, breast. "Nude performance" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area or buttocks with less than a fully opaque covering or the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any portion thereof below the top of the nipple, or the depiction of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state in any play, motion picture, dance or other exhibition performed before an audience. "Sexual excitement" means the condition of human male or female genitals when in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal. "Sado-masochistic abuse" means flagellation or torture by or upon a person clad in undergarments, a mask or bizarre costume, or the condition of being fettered, bound, or otherwise physically restrained on the part of one so clothed. "Masturbation" means real or simulated touching, rubbing or otherwise stimulating a person's own clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if the person is female, breast, either by manual manipulation or with an artificial instrument. "Sexual intercourse" means intercourse, real or simulated, whether genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex or between a human and an animal, or with an artificial genital.
Not all material that at first glance has some of these qualities is forbidden under the law. Materials that merely appeal to a minor's curiosity as to sex or the anatomical differences between sexes does not fall within the proscription of the statute. Also, genuine works of art, literature and educational texts that have redeeming social value and are not presented in such a manner as to appeal to the prurient interest in people for commercial gain are likewise not prohibited under the statute. You must also bear in mind the era in which we are now living. Material that might have been considered vulgar twenty years ago is no longer so regarded. Furthermore, you should be aware that different parts of the country have varying standards and attitudes toward what is called obscenity.
Element 2 -
Knowingly promoted
The second element is that the defendant promoted such material or performance with knowledge of its character and contents. "Knowingly" in this context1 means having general knowledge of or reason to know or a belief or ground for belief that warrants further inspection or inquiry as to the character and content of any material or performance that is reasonably susceptible of examination by such person. "Promote" means to (manufacture / issue / sell / give / provide / lend / mail / deliver / transfer / transmit / publish / distribute / circulate / disseminate / present / exhibit / advertise / produce / direct / participate in) the material or performance.
Element 3 -
To a minor
The third element is that the person to whom the obscene (material / performance) was promoted was a minor. A minor is a person less than 17 years of age. This means that the person has not reached (his/her) 17th birthday. The defendant must have known or had reason to know that the person was a minor.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the (material / performance) was obscene as to minors, 2) the defendant promoted the (materials / performance) to another person, knowing of its character and contents, and 3) knew that the other person was a minor.
If you unanimously
find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each
of the elements of the crime of obscenity as to minors, then
you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if
you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond
a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find
the defendant not guilty.
1 General Statutes § 53a-196 provides this definition of "knowingly," for the purposes of this offense.
See generally
State v. Parsons, 28 Conn. App. 91, cert. denied, 223
Conn. 920 (1992).

APP WATCH: Temple Run's Sequel Reigns Over Apple App Store
"Temple Run 2″ is a newly released sequel to the iPhone hit game "Temple Run," an action game built by just a handful of artists and developers. Here's a look at the app and why it's already one of the most downloaded apps in Apple's App Store.
How it works: You play as an explorer who just stole a "cursed idol" from a temple and are now running to escape the teeth of "Evil Demon Monkeys." The object is to run as long as you can avoiding obstacles and danger. A sequel to the original, the controls are simple: Swipe left and right to turn as forks appear in the road, and swipe up and down to jump and slide.
You can also move side to side by moving the smartphone in either direction, which helps you accumulate coins to use to buy upgrades.
"Temple Run 2″ has some new environmental hazards built into it like riding mine carts and ziplines, but the controls are the same compared with the original.
Who built it: Imangi Studios, the team behind the Temple Run games, was founded by husband and wife team Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova in 2008.
Why it's popular: It's a dead-simple game built specifically for the iPhone. You just swipe or tilt your phone to play, and the game is easy to understand. With the new sequel, the graphics and effects have been polished, making the game look quite better.
The original game was downloaded more than 170 million times and brought in "millions in revenue," Shepherd said. More than 15 million players access the game every day as well. So, the big question was whether Imangi would be able to replicate the same magic.
So far, it seems like it's worked. being live for just a week, Temple Run 2 has spent most of its existence on top of the Apple App Store. Temple Run 2 was downloaded more than 20 million times four days after it launched. Here's a chart of its performance on the Apple App Store throughout the last week, though not much has changed:
It launched for Android devices today, opening the game up to a wider swathe of players. Since launching, the app already has a 4.5 out of 5 rating with more than 5,000 reviews on the Google Play store.
Imangi is a rare studio that's run by a few people and able to hold onto the top spot of the Apple App Store, and as a result generate a lot of revenue for a smaller team. The game is free to play, but you can pay to buy coins and gems that will make you more powerful.

1 ROBERT CRAY: Hall of Fame bluesman Robert Cray is best known for his distinctive, pristine guitar style and wonderfully soulful singing voice. But he's also an observant, powerful storyteller, especially when it comes to the delirious highs and crushing lows that accompany affairs of the heart. That theme is front and center in Cray's latest album, "Nothin But Love." He likely will showcase the August release when he takes the stage Nov. 9 at Livermore's Bankhead Theater.
Details: 8 p.m.; $14-$70; 925-373-6800, www.mylvpac.com
2 "SUPERIOR DONUTS": Tracy Letts' most famous work, "August: Osage County," was a sprawling epic of familial dysfunction and self-destruction. This later comedy, now in production at San Francisco's Custom Made Theatre Company, is a lighter look at a grizzled doughnut shop owner and the young, idealistic man he hires for help.
Details: Through Dec. 2; Gough Playhouse, San Francisco; $25-$30; www.custommade.org.
3 CHRIS SMITHER: The blues revivalist who emerged from the Boston coffee house circuit in the late 1960s is a terrific finger-style acoustic guitarist with a song catalog that traverses New Orleans and Appalachia with equal dexterity. He's touring in support of his latest album, "Hundred Dollar Valentine" and has two stops at Berkeley's Freight & Salvage. Both shows could easily sell out. Another guitar wizard, Willie Porter, is the opener.
Details: 8 p.m. Nov. 9-10; $26.50 advance/$28.50 door; 510-644-2020, www.thefreight.org.
4 "LITTLE WOMEN": Louisa May Alcott's 19th-century novel about four plucky sisters has for so long been a staple of growing-up literature that it's easy to forget the stage adaptation is not yet a decade old. Masquers Playhouse in Point Richmond is the latest Bay Area company to present the musical.
Details: Through Dec. 8; $20; 510-232-4031; www.masquers.org.
5 ADAM LEVY: The musician might be best known for contributing his nimble guitar licks to several Norah Jones albums and concert tours. He's also played for Tracy Chapman. But on Nov. 9, the full range of his talents as a singer, songwriter and guitarist will be front and center, as he headlines the latest chapter of the Point Richmond Acoustic concert series. Mark Lemaire and Cindy Van Empel open the show.
Details: 8 p.m.; First Methodist Church of Point Richmond; $15 (at the door); www.pointacoustic.org.
6 CONTRA COSTA CHAMBER ORCHESTRA: The outfit is back for its second program of the fall and two weekend concerts, featuring Karl Husa's Divertimento for Brass and Percussion; Charles Gounod's "Petite Symphonie," Mendelssohn's String Symphony No. 1 in C major; and Benjamin Britten's "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra," Op. 34.
Details: 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at Los Medanos College Recital Hall, Pittsburg; $5-$10 at the door; 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek; $10-$30; 925-943-7469, www.lesherartscenter.org; www.cccorch.org.
7 KILLING MY LOBSTER: It's the end of the world as we know it, and Killing My Lobster, the San Francisco comedy troupe, apparently feels fine. Its latest jaunt plays off doomsday scenarios (including the Mayan calendar) and is titled "Killing My Lobster Does Not Fear the End." If we die, it will probably be from laughing.
Details: Through Nov. 18; Intersection for the Arts, San Francisco; $22-$25; www.killingmylobster.com.
8 AJA VU: Even during its most productive years in the 1970s, Steely Dan didn't tour much, concerned that its genre-bending, carefully compiled studio rock wouldn't translate to the stage. So we Bay Area fans are lucky that we have Aja Vu, a San Francisco band that deftly delivers Steely Dan classics in a live setting. The band's latest stop is Nov. 10 at Antioch's El Campanil Theatre.
Details: 8 p.m.; $15-$27; 925-757-9500, www.elcampaniltheatre.com.
9 FRAN LEBOWITZ: The sharp-witted and outspoken New York author and essayist, often described as a contemporary Dorothy Parker (high praise, indeed), makes a rare Northern California appearance with a stop Nov. 15 at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall.
Details: Presented by Cal Performances; 8 p.m.; $20-$52; 510-642-9988, www.calperformances.org.
10 JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION: The title of this noisy '90s alt-rock band is ironic, or maybe metaphorical. Nothing that Spencer and his trio play is rooted in the blues. But like the blues, the songs can be sloppy, angry, confrontational, maybe a little dangerous. After an extended hiatus (its second), the band is back with a new album, "Meat + Bone," and a show Nov. 10 at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall.
Details: 9 p.m.; $21-$23; www.slimspresents.com.
