Signing Jori Lehtera was the Blues' first move on a hectic Tuesday kickoff to free agency, and it has nearly flown under the radar. It's not unexpected, considering the team announced the signing of prolific center Paul Stastny just 20 minutes after the announcement was made on Lehtera's two-year deal. But the signing of the former prospect was more than a depth move; it was an all-together important one.
The addition of Lehtera was one that surprised St. Louis. Lehtera had spent seven games with the then-AHL affiliate of the Blues, the Peoria Rivermen, during the 2008-09 season. Before, and since then, Lehtera had been playing overseas and had shown little interest in playing in the NHL.
Last season, the Blues' 2008 third-round draft pick was offered a roster spot on a St. Louis team that was decimated at the center position. But Lehtera declined, and signed a contract with Novosibirsk Sibir of the Kontinental Hockey League. The Blues were left in a tough position, and did not expect to ever see Lehtera sporting their logo. But things changed in a hurry.
"I had a good chat with him at the Olympics at the dining hall," said Blues general manager Doug Armstrong, who was a part of Team Canada's 2014 Olympic management. "I told him that we were disappointed that we couldn't come to an agreement (last year)."
Lehtera, who was a part of Finland's Olympic squad, did what any player looking for another chance would do; he admitted that he had made a mistake.
"He said at the end of the day, he felt he made a mistake which was the first step in saying, 'well, if you can rectify that mistake, if you can get out of your contract, we'd love to have you'," Armstrong said.
Following that conversation with Armstrong, Lehtera got to work on his end of the bargain, finding his way out of the two-year deal he signed with Sibir last season. Had Lehtera and Armstrong not met in that dining hall, Lehtera would have likely returned to the KHL for the final year of his contract. At the end of that contract, Lehtera would have been a 27-year-old unrestricted free agent, and the Blues would have lost his exclusive rights.
"This year was very important for us in the sense that if he had gone back, he'd be an unrestricted free agent at 27 and so this was our last, and only, opportunity to deal with him with no outside competition," Armstrong said.
"We'd been dealing with the competition of the KHL and the KHL has been winning up until this year. He was able to get his way out of his contract. Over here, we bought one year of restricted free agency and one year of unrestricted."
The 26-year old center will make $5.5 million over the next two seasons, as well as a $1.6 million signing bonus. He would have made a lot more in the KHL, had he chosen to return. But Lehtera wanted to re-invent his first chance at an NHL spot.
"We've been working on this for a while since he said he could get out of his deal, but we've been trying to keep it a little bit under wraps not to get anyone's hopes up," said Armstrong. He had to do the work first to get out of the deal before we could do anything."
Lehtera's signing has the potential to be a big one for the Blues, who went from having a weak center grouping, to having a surplus of middlemen in about 33 minutes on Tuesday.
The Finnish skater has put up impressive numbers in the KHL over the past three seasons. Since leaving Lokomotiv and joining Sibir in 2011, Lehtera has tallied 118 points. 79 of those have been assists.
"He's a big body, 6-foot-2, 210-pounds .....Very, very soft hands," Armstrong said of Lehtera. "Very good passer. When you look at his goals-to-points ratio, he's certainly a three-to-one passer to goal scorer. He's a guy that can find players. I watched him at the World Championships give some guys some back-door tap-ins on the power play. He's just an offensive player where his strengths are his passing skills."
Lehtera also has some familiarity with his new teammates, specifically Vladimir Tarasenko. Lehtera and Tarasenko were linemates on Sibir before the latter joined the Blues in 2012. The two are every well accommodated with one another, and gel together on the ice. It could be that the former linemates are reunited.
Originally, it was believed that, if the Blues brought in a top center like Stastny, he would center youngsters Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko. However, Armstrong indicated that the coaching staff could slide David Backes to the wing, have Stastny center the first line and put Lehtera between Schwartz and Tarasenko.
"I think we have a lot of different options now," Armstrong said. "It might take a little bit of time to find a constant rhythm and the right pairings."
The Blues' coaching staff is very high on Lehtera, and see the center making a big impact next year. Lehtera won't be battling for a spot on the roster and will be in the lineup opening night. He may have been an under-the-radar signing, but it's all relative. To the Blues, he is a key asset that, a few months ago, the club didn't count on having.
"Having the opportunity to watch him play at the Olympics first-hand, watching all his games at the World Championships, talking to people I know from the Finnish Federation, there's very little question he's ready to step in and be a contributing factor in the NHL," said Armstrong.

News - April 2005 / BPC Music, Communications to present 'Into the Woods'
BPC Music, Communications to present 'Into the Woods'
The Divisions of Music and Communications at Brewton-Parker College will present Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning musical "Into the Woods" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 28-30, at 8 p.m. with a matinee performance Sunday, May 1, at 2:30 p.m.. The performances will be held in the Tatnall Theater at Southeastern Technical College in Vidalia.
"Into the Woods" is a charming, satirical, poignant compilation of a variety of beloved fairy tales into a two-act statement on the nature of being human.Familiar characters like Cinderella show sides of their personalities that we always suspected were there, but never saw in any of Grimm's writings. The show moves swiftly from outrageous laughter to bitter tears in the sparkling fashion now so well known as distinctly "Sondheim."
"Into the Woods" will be performed entirely by Brewton-Parker students: Lisa Vincent (Cinderella), Theresa Beverly (The Baker's Wife), Dallas Wilke (The Baker), Amanda Crosby (Little Red Riding Hood), Sharon McHenry (The Witch), Brian Hodges (Jack), Krista Vickery (Rapunzel), Steven Dawson (Cinderella's Prince Charming), Doug Pittman (Rapunzel's Prince Charming), Joseph Penton (The Mysterious Man/Narrator), Karen Taylor (Jack's Mother), Michelle Zamaftas (Cinderella's Stepmother), Corrine Bird and Erin Bower (Cinderella's Stepsisters), Whitney Johnson (Cinderella's Mother/ Snow White), Daniel Peavy (Cinderella's Father), Molly Spivey (Granny), John Wolters (The Big Bad Wolf), and Renia Stevenot (Sleeping Beauty).
Both the director and the musical director of the show are also Brewton-Parker students. Steven Dawson, a senior, has provided all stage direction for this production. No novice to theater, Dawson has performed in countless shows and made his professional debut last summer as a member of the cast of Bigfork Playhouse in Montana, where he performed leading roles (Old Deuteronomy in "Cats" and Charlie Davenport in "Annie Get Your Gun") as well as chorus. Dawson will be returning to Bigfork this summer where he will play Teen Angel in their production of "Grease," and he will wield his directorial skills there by staging their children's show at the end of the season.
Brandon Herrington, also a senior at BPC, has served as the musical director for "Into the Woods." Herrington been an integral part of all the musical activities at Brewton-Parker since his arrival. He has played keyboard and percussion with the Wind Ensemble, the Jazz Band, Lyric Theater, the Choral Society and the Baron Singers, and has served as a staff accompanist for the college as well.
Tickets for "Into the Woods" are available at either of the following locations: Brewton-Parker College Division of Music, the Miller Music Building, Mount Vernon, GA (912-583-3136) or the Ohoopee Regional Council for the Arts Office, 117 Main ST. SE, Vidalia (912-537-8459). Admission prices are $10 for adults, and $5 for children and students with valid ID. Brewton-Parker faculty, staff and students are free with valid ID. General seating.
Inquiries may be directed to Dr. Kandie Kearley Smith at 912-583-3134 (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Mark Stokes at 912-583-3107 (email@example.com)..

Occurrence of Black Aspergilli and Ochratoxin A on Grapes in Italy
AbstractOchratoxin A (OTA) in wine is linked to contamination by several Aspergillus species. In 2003–2007, grape samples collected in Italy were surveyed for the presence of OTA and OTA-producing fungi. A. niger aggregate was the prevalent species. A. carbonarius, which is considered the main source of OTA in grapes, was mostly found in Southern Italy. The year and the environment had an important influence on the development of the black Aspergillus populations. Testing with ELISA showed OTA to be present in about 30% of the samples. Samples from Southern Italy showed the highest occurrence (45%) and also the highest OTA concentration, sometimes higher than 2 mg/L. The values decreased progressively the further North the samples were taken.

Never before has it been more urgent – or more possible – to end the practice of female genital mutilation, preventing immeasurable human suffering and boosting the power of women and girls to have a positive impact on our world.
The urgency can be seen in the numbers. New estimates reveal that in 2016 at least 200 million girls and women alive now have undergone some form of FGM. The numbers keep growing both because more countries are paying attention to FGM and collecting data – which represents good progress– and because progress in ending the practice is not keeping pace with population growth – which is not at all good. If current trends continue, more girls will be cut every year by 2030 than today owing to high fertility rates and youthful populations found in most communities where FGM is prevalent. And since the practice increases risks in childbirth, it causes harm to today's girls as well as the next generation. Continue reading

That's Straus Ice Cream. It's good. Well it's good but it's also expensive because the cows are free range, the cream is organic, and the chocolate chips are grown in humane conditions that probably involve love and tenderness and yuppies that act like they don't want to screw you for a profit but really do.
I'm eating a lot of it.
It's due to stress. It's not kid stress because kids are actually really easy. In fact, this years crop is pretty much outstanding; from the Second Language students asking question after question, to the Advanced Placement students wanting to dive deeper into economic reality, to my APUSH students who are so damn good that it is stupid. I mean, you can't make up the awesomeness that involves walking into class and having these students every day. It's really damn cool.
Until they leave. Then comes the stuff that has nothing to do with students. It's the stuff that nags, that takes up time, that requires energy but eventually produces little results. It's often nonsense to you but might not be nonsense to someone else, and that someone might be mad if you call it nonsense which creates more problems. And so on and so on. So I've started saying no to people. I'm sorry but my resources can only be stretched so far and the piles of work that need to be graded for the students in my classroom now take priority over my volunteer work for your benefit. Does that sound mean? Sure, except the real mean thing is not putting forth the full effort for my students because of the potential risk of someone else being offended. We all have jobs and right now I need to reprioritize mine and get my focus back.

Bought this rug a year ago at one of the stores and couldn't be happier with it. It's actually cuter than the image shown (on an angle, so distorted) and is much more charming in real life. Anyway, in the year plus I've owned this rug it has endured the comings and goings of being my front door inside mat as well as the scratching of two appreciate cats who love its texture. I'm buying another one as a gift because I liked this one so much. Probably my very favorite of the many things I've bought at Ten Thousand Villages.

I loved stumbling across this post today on Lynn Terry's ClickNewz. She starts right out with this: "Confession: I'm Not Perfect. Not Even Close."
To be fair, I don't know anyone who honestly believes their perfect. But it's still darned refreshing to see someone make a point of it, isn't it?
She's got a great message for all of us – so please do make time to read it.

We already visited Barcelona in the past, so we went out on our own for a stroll on the Ramblas and a fly-by of our favorite spots.
You can walk to the city centre from the ship, however the 2 kilometers to Plaza Colon are ugly and over a bridge. We opted to take the MSC shuttle instead (about 10 euros per person all-in, you can go back and forth as often as you like). Maybe a bit expensive given the short distance covered, but then the time ashore is valuable, too, so in the end I think it was worth it.
Getting around in Barcelona is easy enough using the metro, although as long as you stay around the Ramblas, you might not even need it.
We went up to Parc Guëll where you have an impressive view of the city (ship in background) as well as some iconic Gaudì sculptures and architecture. We loved it on our first visit, though it was an unpleasant discovery that it's no longer free (since last month :-/ ). If you go there, do take a metro, it's uphill and decievingly far as we discovered on our first visit 2 years ago.
If you want to visit Sagrada Famiglia: there's a very - very - VERY long waiting line, but you can buy tickets on automatic vending machines in nearly every Caixa bank office in town. With this ticket, you can enter at once at a pre-arranged hour. There's a Caixa on the corner near the Sagrada Famiglia, which is possibly the only one in town that doesn't have the vending machines. Any other Caixa bank should do - there all over town - and IMO a visit of the inside of the church is really worth it. It is to a Gothic cathedral what a Gothic catedral is to a Roman one. The shear height of the arches baffles the mind, and you have to stand under them to truly experience it; pictures don't do.
Also: be aware of pickpockets, especially on the Ramblas. Last time, I got mugged (they took my make-up pouch, which looked a bit like a wallet, even though I kept my valuables securely stored away. A fellow passenger lost everything on this stop: id, cash, credit cards. In her case, it happened when she was taking a picture of one of the living statues. Leave anything you don't need on the ship, and keep the rest on your person.
It's the home port for MSC, so an obligatory stop.
Frankly, there's not much to see, especially compared to the other stops on the trip. The cathedral is majestic though, and the covered market (on the left hand side when you walk down the central shopping street away from the cathedral) is a sight to behold. Live shrimp, truffles, piles and piles of fresh fruits and vegetables,... a pity we couldn't take anything back home!
There's a single metro line from the port to the centre; 1.50 euros per person. For some strange reason, the only working (also: new) ticket machine was the one at the port (Principe). All the other machines were of an older generation and did not work. Many were turned off, on one the cursor jumped back and forth erratically, and all the others seemed to work normally, except that there was no 'ok' button and any money inserted was immediately returned. After watching a large number of Genoese simply pass the access booths (many of which lacked boom barriers, we ended up freeriding back to the ship. Even today, I have no idea whether or not we were supposed to pay or not, but since the only options for paying were either the vending machines or an SMS, we had no real way to pay our fare back from the city centre.
Tip: if you're going to wake up early once during your cruise, do it here!
Arriving in Palermo is magical; the slow sunrise illuminating the Etna volcano (far off to the left) and then slowly coloring the mountains over Palermo is breathtaking. Meanwhile, the city is already in a buzz, with honking cars inching their ways up and down the main arteries. As soon as the sun rose over the horizon, a single church bell started to ring - not just the ordinary 'bim - bam', but the Ave Maria. You do not have to be a religious person to be touched by it; and it - over the background noice of honking traffic - set the tone of the day.
Again, we went out on our own with the help of a city map. Splendid corruption; marvellous marble palaces, slowly decaying and split up in small apartments are everywhere around town. A few sights are really worthwile; the Teatro Massimo, the 'Fountain of Shame', the cathedral, all were picture-perfect. Taking a wrong turn here and there, we ended up on the market, which is something we always enjoy, fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables everywhere - and a guy carrying a half pig carcass on his back- unwrapped. We also walked up to the Catacombe dei Cappucini, where Palermos bourgeousie and clergy were interred in the 19th century. A stronger 'memento mori' is not possible. Not for the weak-stomached, though. And again, the term splendid corruption comes to mind; with all these people 'buried' in their sundays' finest; their bodies given over to the decay of nearly 2 centuries.
Further, Palermo is an Italian city, full of stylish shops and finely dressed people. A fascinating city.
The distance between Civitavecchia and Rome was too large to adventure on our own, so we booked to coach ride to the centre. At 45 euros per person, it was rather expensive, but at least provided us with the security of getting back on board in time and without losing to much safety margin. The city map we were provided with was sponsored by some restaurants, which given the number of guests and the price they pay, slightly irked me. The toilet on the bus was not open, causing us to have to stop and lose 10 minutes because one of the passengers really needed to go. Again, with a full bus at 45 euro per person, this could and should have been avoided.
Rome itself was as eternelly beautiful as it has always been. We moved through the mayor sites at lightning speed. Since we were dropped off at the Colosseum, we took a metro to Saint Peter's first and walked back.
We stopped for lunch at Piazza Navona, where they were busy setting up the Christmas market. We ate at Il Grifone, and - although given the location we were expecting a tourist trap and likewise prices and quality, we ate the best pizza we ever had, accompanied by 50cl of rather good red wine, a friendly waiter, a clean toilet and a bill that was so low we doubled the tip we intended to give. As a thank-you for that, we got a glass of Limoncello each. I don't know if it was just this place, but in general our experience in Rome was very positive; with cars stopping to let us cross, even though they could have squeezed through before us etc.
If you're into geocaching (google it if you're not), we found the app very helpful on our hurried trip passed all the mayor sights. After an initial stop at a Mac Donalds (beware though that in Italy, because of local laws you need a complicated sign in procedure to be able to access wifi internet anywhere) to charge the sattelite and map, it guided us quickly to all the places we wanted to see.
We decided to adventure out on our own, taking the train to get to Tunis, Sidi Bou Said and Carthage.
As a result, we saw the underbelly of Tunis, which is quite different from the polished up version you'll see when you take an organised tour. It's not for everyone. We didn't enjoy it, but then again, not all excursions need to be fun. We learned a lot during this trip.
In case you choose visit it as we do: make sure you get some dinars. We spent the equivalent of 20 euros for 2 persons all day, though we didn't pay any entrance fees.
We walked towards the station first, but since the ticket office isn't marked and looks like an out-of-use electricity cabin (yes, really!), we dodn't find it and took a taxi instead to the centre of Tunis/the Medina. After some haggling,we payed 10 euros. Since the driver wouldn't accept my euro coins and claimed to have no change for my 20 euro note, I asked for my change in dinars. The 20 dinars I got in return got us through the rest of the day.
After a stroll around the souk in the Medina, we drank a mint tea in the opera café (one of the fanciest in town, where local people had to pass through a metal detector to enter - we got a free pass, though), then managed to locate the train station (hint: it's about 1 km away back up the road, past the barbed wire on the square. Just ask enough people for the "Gare TGM / train station") where we payed for 2 second class tickets to Side Bou Said. Prices here are in milim (one thousandth of a dinar) which is quite confusing. I tried to pay with the 10 dinar note (about 5 euros), but was asked for something smaller. Ended up paying with a one dinar coin and got a heap of change and two tickets back.
There's only one train line that goes from Tunis, over La Goulette (where the ship docks), then 5 Carthage stations (stop at Hannibal for the ruins) and Sidi Bou Said. Names of stops are marked in French. The train was rather an experience, with a few young people hanging out of the open doors to get a free ride. A few stops before Sidi, we all had to get out and continue by bus. Also, don't bother getting first class tickets. If you're going for this experience, you might as well go all the way; in anycase, there didn't seem to bemuch difference in comfort anyhow.
In Sidi, we walked around and got to see some really magnificent views. Also, we got ripped off in a café, which greatly annoyed me. The mint tea came with some pine nuts in it. Afterwards, it turned out to cost the double of the marked price because of them. We were told they didn't serve regular mint tea at noon, and that since I drank the tea and ate the nuts, we'd have to pay for them, too.They also tried the dish of pastries trick, but we didn't fall for that one. Let's say we ended that match on a draw :-/
Back at the train station ticket office/electric cabin, a ticket to Carthage Hannibal turned out to be a few milim more expensive than the longer traject from Tunis to Sidi. This is however, for some reason, correct, and in anycase still very cheap. At Carthage, we walked around but didn't enter any of the sites. Apparantly, the organised excursions did the visit in the opposite direction, and we were met by a lot of just closing up shops and stands - clearly, the show was over. Since my husband had already visited the site on a previous holiday, we decided not to visit them again and took a last train ride back to the ship.
There, the cruise terminal with it's camels, shops and music welcomed us back in a 100 and 1 nights atmosphere.
Was it a fun experience? No.
Was it worthwhile: Yes, certainly. It's confrontational, we got to see a lot of misery, poverty and even violence. We were cussed out and ripped off, but we also met a few really decent people; the lady on the train who told us where to get off, the two taxi drivers who stopped to help us locate a geocache we were looking for and the lady at the ticket office who could have easily pocketed 10 dinars from us, but didn't.
After all the glitter and glamour of the cruise ship, I think it's good to get a reality check like this.

PORTSMOUTH — The Pease Development Authority board of directors on Thursday approved an agreement with the New Hampshire Innovation Commercialization Center that would end the company's current lease agreement on the tradeport and would allow for repayment of past due rent.
The NH-ICC, which partners with the University of New Hampshire, is a nonprofit agency focused on creating sustainable, high-value, private-sector jobs in New Hampshire through the support of startup ventures.
According to a memorandum from Executive Director David Mullen, the PDA entered into a lease agreement with the NH-ICC for Unit 1 at 75 Rochester Ave. in 2010.
"Based on its initial funding and associated business resources and 'hands on involvement' of seasoned startup executives, NH-ICC seemed poised to leverage opportunity for early-stage companies who might grow into permanent tenants at the tradeport," according to the memorandum.
As part of that agreement with NH-ICC, the PDA offered the nonprofit a rental rate below market value, Mullen said.
Things began to change, however, when the NH-ICC began to experience "early financial pressures" in 2012 and asked to negotiate with the PDA for a "workout plan" to address its rental agreement, according to Mullen.
"NH-ICC assured PDA of its commitment to 'living up to its lease obligations,' but requested a payment plan," Mullen wrote. "Unfortunately, NH-ICC made only three payments on the initial forbearance agreement, resulting in a net arrearage under the first payment plan of $59,616.17."
Mullen said the PDA continued to work with NH-ICC and its board, as well as representation from UNH, until it was learned the nonprofit would leave Pease on March 31. The NH-ICC has since moved out of Pease and has relocated to downtown Portsmouth.
According to Mullen's memorandum, the NH-ICC's total outstanding financial obligation to the PDA through March 31 is $131,436.16.
The agreement approved Thursday has the PDA asking for the NH-ICC and UNH to pay 50 percent of the outstanding balance, as well as 100 percent of municipal services fees to the city of Portsmouth. The total repayment is expected to be $71,350.28.
The NH-ICC is expected to repay the outstanding balance in monthly installments.

We've all heard of convertible furniture, as in sofa beds and sleeper chairs, but have you ever seen a convertible coffee table? The Altra Extension Coffee Table is both accent table and laptop workstation! Such a great idea for those evenings where you have some work to finish up or personal business to take care of on the computer but are tired of sitting at your desk. This handy table features a center section that lifts up to the perfect height for writing, typing, and can even be used by kids for drawing and playtime.
In addition to the center laptop station, each side also has a storage compartment to hold remote controls, magazines and more. A sturdy MDF design allows for durability and a great price point, and the rich espresso finish works well with a wide range of home decor styles, from transitional to contemporary.
Convertible furniture is a great way to make the most use of small spaces, of course, but really any room can benefit by it. For example, if you are lucky enough to have a home office but it happens to double as a guest room by night, there's no sense in taking up all the space with a twin or full size bed. Why not use a futon or sofa sleeper in its place? This gives you the best of both worlds, allowing your home office to remain an office during the day, and then if guests come you can turn it into a guest room at night.
Convertible furniture can be found in all shapes, sizes and styles!

Last week we had another successful release with some upgrades to the Active Trainer Log. Highlights of some key new features are below. There are two more releases planned for the summer, with the most comprehensive coming in August. Give us your feedback at email@example.com .
The Highlights!
Pace Calculator: We have added a Pace Calculator to the Tools menu. It has the same easy to use functionality as the calculator found on Active.com.
And speaking of pace... one gripe has always been that logging duration and distance for a workout didn't automatically calculate the pace. This has also been addressed with the latest release. Now, if you enter a total time and distance for a run, for example, the system will automatically calculate your pace. No more fuzzy math required.
Customize Purchased Training Plans: You now have the ability to edit and delete workouts from a purchased training plan. Just be careful before you delete a workout, because once it's gone... it's gone.
Calculate HR Load: Tracking your workouts based on HR is one of the most reliable ways to avoid over-training. Now, when you log you minutes per zone for any workout, the system will automatically calculate your workout load. The higher your fitness level, the higher your load should be. All training plans from new Heart Zones coach Cindy Miler use the HR Load calculations! Try one today.
What to look for in the coming releases?
There are some exciting things planned for the rest of the summer, including the unveiling of the first version of Active Trainer PLUS. More to come on that in the coming weeks!
We are proud to announce that Cindy Miller from Heart Zones Coaching has joined the Active Trainer team.
Cindy is the President of Heart Zones Coaching, a division of Heart Zones USA, a cardiovascular training and education company headed by Sally Edwards (http://www.heartzones.com/).
Cindy has been coaching and training athletes of all levels since 1993. She is a Master Heart Zone Trainer, is certified through ACE in Personal Training and Lifestyle Management, is a Level 1 USA Triathlon coach and holds a lifetime secondary teaching certification in Physical Education and Health Science. More
There are currently three six-week Sprint Triathlon training programs available for download on Cindy's page. Plenty more Heart Zones programs will follow in the coming months.
About Heart Zones Training System
The Heart Zones Training System uses your personal cardiac training range to define your individual program for optimum fitness and performance. Heart Zones Training is based on science, research, experience and the perception that, to be effective, exercise must be tailored to fit each of us.
Heart Zones Training Plans provide a method to completely personalize your exercise program. It works for a 20-year-old professional athlete, a 70-year-old wanting to improve strength, a 50-year-old fighting fat and a sedentary 40-year-old.
Cindy's training plans will teach you how to notice and respond to your own personal bio feedback device - year heart beat. By taking your pulse, either manually or by use of a heart rate monitor, you will tune into what really matters: your heart.
New Look
The first thing you will notice when logging in to your calendar is the new look and feel. We have made the user interface cleaner and easier to navigate. We hope this enhancement will make for a more enjoyable user experience. You will see additional enhancements in this area through the rest of the of the year.
Heart Rate Measures
A great way to track your training is based on time in zone. We will be introducing heart rate measures for each workout, based on the easy-to-use and understand 5 zone Max Heart Rate Training System. This feature gives you another powerful tool to measure your training progress.
Shoe Tracker
The first of a number of tools we will be adding to Active Trainer. Shoe Tracker allows you to load your shoes into the system and log mileage to each pair. Compare the total to manufacturer recommendations in order to get a clear understanding of when it's time for that new pair.
My Account
The My Account section of Active Trainer is your administrative area. This area includes a history of all training plans you purchase through Active Trainer. More importantly, this area allows you to shift the start or end date of the training plan, making it easy to line the program up with a planned event. You can also remove unwanted training plans from your calendar.
Active Trainer was the official training partner for the 2007 PF Chang's Rock 'N' Roll Arizona Marathon. We were thrilled to be a part of the event and are looking forward to next year! Read on...
Arland Van Horn, CA
AZ Rock 'N' Roll Finisher
"I'm sure you guys are getting inundated with results emails, but I did want to send a quick note to say thank you for a great training program. I did this race last year on my own, with no idea how to train for 13.1 miles! At that race I did okay, posting a 2:11:59 finish time. My goal this year was to break 2 hours, which I thought might be a little aggressive at the outset.
I'm happy to report that I blew my goal away this year by finishing at 1:56:44 - more than 15 minutes faster than last year and more than 3 minutes faster than my goal!
Now I have my sights set on breaking 1:50:00 next year (or maybe 1:45...) and you can be sure I'll be using your trainin program for the race, as well as events I have coming up before then.
Thanks again for your help!"

Body of drowning victim found
Man drowned 2 weeks ago
The body of a man who drowned two weeks ago in the Chunky River was found Saturday.
David Sharp, the executive director of Lauderdale County Emergency Management Agency, said members of Marcus L. Smith's family found his body about 10:15 a.m. about half a mile from where Smith went under.
Lauderdale County Coroner Clayton Cobler said the body has been taken to Jackson for an autopsy.
Authorities said Smith, 56, was in a canoe with two other men Jan. 19 when it turned over into the swift, cold waters of the Chunky River near Stuckey Bridge. The two survivors were able to reach the bank but Smith was swept downriver.

- 2nd was Percival, 3rd was Leahcar and De Bono was 4th
KARISE Eden has been named the first ever winner of Channel Nine's hit singing contest The Voice.
The 19-year-old won $100,000, a recording contract with Universal and a car for taking out the viewer-voted competition.
The win will have a bigger impact on Eden's life than any other contestant.
Up until a year ago, the teen was living in a women's refuge on the New South Wales Central Coast before moving in with her best friend's mother. She has lived in 20 refuges in her 19 years.
The shy songstress beat out Sarah De Bono (Team Joel), Darren Percival (Team Keith) and Rachael Leahcar (Team Delta) for the title and is now on her way to being Australia's latest singing sensation.
Eden was long favoured to take out the competition and was a frontrunner from the start. But against all predictions that it would be she and 19-year-old Sarah De Bono in the final two, viewers instead favoured 40-year-old Queensland crooner Darren Percival.
De Bono, who was backed as second favourite during the week shocked audiences when she was the first eliminated for in surprising fourth placing. 16-year-old Rachael Leahcar was third.
But the runners-up didn't go home empty handed. Percival collected $30,000, Leahcar won $20,000, and De Bono took home $10,000.
Eden, who was overwhelmed at her win thanked her coach Seal who guided her all the way to victory and gave her confidence to believe in her own talents.
"Seal you have just shown me a new way, a new life, a new everything," Eden told the British star during the show.
Her debut single You Won't Let Me will be released on Thursday and her album My Journey will hit stores on Tuesday, June 26.
The album will be a collection of songs Eden has performed during the show, plus four new recordings.
The proof is in the ratings
CHANNEL Nine were hoping The Voice Grand Finale would break through the 3 million viewer mark - and that it did.
An average 3.23 million people tuned in for the finale of the singing contest last night in an impressive result for the network.
The figure is one of the highest for any show in Australian TV history and an improvement on the 2.24 million seen for Sunday night's final performance episode.
The second season of MasterChef in 2010 holds the record for the most watched program, with an audience of 3.9 million people in the five capital city "markets".
Eden's victory an unexpected blow to the power of social media
WHILE Karise Eden's win was by no means a surprise, judges and fans were left shocked when second favourite and social media powerhouse Sarah De Bono was the first of the four to be eliminated.
Despite much coverage of De Bono's four million and counting Twitter followers (made up of mentor Joel Madden, his wife Nicole and De Bono herself), Twitter power failed to pull her across the line.
De Bono also had twice as many Facebook fans as other contestants.
As De Bono's name was read out in fourth place, the 19-year-old looked shocked. She looked at the other contestants before awkwardly laughing and congratulating everyone.
Delta's face said it all as she let out an "Ohhhh."
Much of Sarah's 57,000 Twitter followers took to the social networking site to vent their outrage at her loss.
"WHAT!!! 4th place Sarah de Bono! This is crazy! Did someone stuff up the vote count? WOW," tweeted Mathew Eggleston.
Isabel Brooks: "Sarah De Bono didn't win?!?!?! Idiots. She deserved it, she's full of talent"
While Jordy Lucas added: "Sarah de bono in fourth? Absolute joke"
In Karise's words:
IT'S no surprise that the win will have a huge effect on the 19-year-old, who says she is already "so overwhelmed" by the experience.
"If you had asked me a year ago if this is where I would be right now I would not have imagined it," she said.
"To work with an amazing artist like Seal has been a dream come true. I have learnt so much that I will take through with me for the rest of my career.
"The public who voted for me, the support Australians have shown me, has made me realise my decision to come on this show was the right one and I am very grateful."
Karise's coach, Seal, said the teen's win was a testament to her talent.
"To all the millions of people across Australia, the dreamers, the fortunate, the less fortunate, to all of you who were told you'd never amount to anything, to those of you who've felt you were never heard, you now have a voice, and her name is Karise Eden.
"It has been the greatest honour to work with this incredible young woman, and I am so proud to be a small part of the beginning of what I know will be a long and spectacular career."
The after-party - inside the celebrations
THE rockin' Joel Madden was one of the last to leave The Voice's after-party at The Eastern Hotel in Bondi Junction early this morning.
Madden cruised straight into a mini-bus with a driver ready to speed off about 4.30am from The Eastern's 'And' nightclub that hosted the event.
He was surrounded by a team of security guards that were quick to shield the Good Charlotte star from any media.
It was a different story for The Voice's runner-up, Darren Percival, who floated out of the nightclub with his radiant wife, Amanda, on his arm before midnight.

Clarkey of Australia Posted at 8:56 AM June 19, 2012
I think it is disgraceful effort from Channel 9 not to provide her with an original song as her first single. Surely they could have got the final 4 to work with their mentors in writing an original composition that would be released as their first single should they win. Congratulations Karise.....I hope your gift doesn't become your curse and you are able to establish yourself as an artist in your own right and not Janis copy
Ruth Walker of Hobart Posted at 8:53 AM June 19, 2012
So pleased for Karise looking forward to some of Janis Joplin's hits being run again, Karise could even star as Janis in a movie. There is real soul stuff here.
Run to the States Posted at 8:50 AM June 19, 2012
Karise congratulations, i cannot wait to hear you on the radio as i am driving around. The huge majority support you but there will always be a couple of nobodies who try to bring people down, sadly it is very Australian to want to cut down tall poppies - go to the States and they will treat you like the start that you are.

Where SMARTS usually gets $16,000, this year they will only receive $9,000, according to Matthews. "Instead of just quitting programs, you look for money in other places," she said. Matthews said SMARTS hopes to find other grants but may end up depending on donations.
In the meantime, youngsters participating in the SPIRAL program offered their help in the form of grounds maintenance for the Sikeston Depot.
Matthews said SMARTS is also planning a mural for the High School Band Shell in conjunction with the SPIRALS program.
Michael Harris, a SPIRALS supervisor, said in addition to earning some money for clothes and school supplies, kids in the SPIRALS program receive job training and a great opportunity to build their work ethic while learning things that are important to getting and keeping jobs.
Harris said that before they get to work, participants first watch eight hours of videos and complete a packet on good citizenship. Participants can then work up to 100 hours during each program year, Harris said. SPIRALS has expanded the summer job program to offer some work opportunities year-round, he added.
In addition to helping public entities such as the Depot and the Housing Authority, SPIRAL youth are put to work at day care centers, in convenience stores and at other area businesses.
Tammy Frakes, employment consultant for the program at the Workforce Development Office, said the participants are paid by the program which was created through the Workforce Investment Act. "Most of the time it's their first job," said Frakes.

Workers should beware verbal agreements with bosses. The Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) refused to hear a health & safety complaint, reported the April 2012 Highlights bulletin. The reason given was that there had been a verbal settlement agreement and the employee's lawyer had cancelled the hearing. When the employee reviewed the written draft agreement, he disagreed with some of the terms and decided to get a new lawyer and schedule a new hearing. The Board ruled that the part of the Occupational Health & Safety Act that allowed them to inquire into a complaint also allowed them to refuse to inquire. Never mind that the article does not actually say that:
Inquiry by Board
(3) The Board may inquire into any complaint filed under subsection (2) or referral made under subsection (2.1) and section 96 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, except subsection (5), applies with all necessary modifications as if such section, except subsection (5), is enacted in and forms part of this Act. 1998, c. 8, s. 56 (1); 2011, c. 11, s. 13 (2).
The result of this decision is that the employee can choose to either sign an undesireable agreement or walk away, if that is an option. In this case, it looks like the OLRB chose the expeditious part of its mandate over the effective resolution of labour disputes in Ontario. It also tells eager lawyers to not cancel a workers' hearing until the worker has signed the agreement.

Cat's Cradle
by Kurt Vonnegut
Cat's Cradle Philosophy—Humanism Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"It said a lot of things," [Mrs. Minton] said, "because I was very upset about how Americans couldn't imagine what it was like to be something else, to be something else and proud of it." (44.14)
One of the core concepts of humanism is the ability to imagine yourself as another person or see things from his worldview. This ability is called empathy. When you think about it, that just might make novels the perfect humanist vehicle.
Quote #8
"The form of government was anarchy, save in limited situations wherein Castle Sugar wanted to own something or get something done. In such situations, the form of government was feudalism" (56.6)
Yeah, more capitalism doesn't equal humanism talk. In this case, the novel compares capitalism to feudalism. Okay, we're going to leave this volatile subject alone now.
Quote #9
He wasn't far from Bokonon in defining maturity. "Maturity," Bokonon tells us, "is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything." (88.19)
Perhaps we can rewrite The Beatles's "All You Need Is Love" to "All You Need Is Laughter." Both seem to help us get through that "bitter disappointment" Bokonon is talking about.

The staff of the Disability Resource Center believes that when educating people about Universal Design that we are fulfilling the three major themes of our institution's Public Affairs Mission: Ethical Leadership, Cultural Competence, and Community Engagement. Our staff fulfills these mission themes in numerous ways throughout the year. One example occurred this past summer, on August 7, 2009, when the Disability Resource Center (then the Office of Disability Services) hosted PEPNet's (Postsecondary Education Programs Network) Regional Roundtable. The purpose of PEPNet is to increase and improve secondary and postsecondary educational opportunities for individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Over 40 people attended the event here at Missouri State with participants from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. Topics covered at the event included use of assistive listening devices to advocacy and making classrooms accessible.
One of the sessions focused on Universal Design (UD) in Instruction. PEPNet defined Universal Design (UD) as an approach to designing course instruction, materials, and content to benefit people of all learning styles without adapting or retrofitting. PEPNet believes that not only do the Deaf and hard of hearing benefit from UD, but all students; specifically those with other disabilities, students who use English as a second language, international students, non-traditional students, and students whose learning style is inconsistent with the teacher's preferred teaching style.
Below is a list of some of the UD teaching strategies PEPNet recommended:
- Do your best to create a welcoming environment in your classroom for all students. Keep in mind that your actions and the attitude you display toward students with disabilities are observed by all students in the class.
- Utilize technology in the classroom when teaching.
- Provide information in multiple modes.
- Signal new topics in a as clear a way as possible.
- Include long pauses.
- Deliberately state that you are beginning a new topic.
- Outline class material in the corner of the board and point to new topics as you proceed through the material.
- Detail changes in email or an accessible course website.
- Post class notes, PowerPoint slides, and other visual aids to an accessible website.
- When presenting information with overheads or PowerPoint slides, allow time for all students to read the material shown.
- Make certain there are no line-of-sight issues. Can students see you, the board, visual aids, sign language interpreters, etc.?
- Assess the sound environment of the classroom. Are students able to hear you over sounds in the room? Do you need to use a microphone?
- Speak slowly and clearly.
- Repeat comments made and questions asked by other students in the class before responding.
- Make eye contact with students.
- Present material in a logical progression.
- Try to prevent unintended false starts, backtracking, or drifting off topic when you present material.
- Ensure a learning space that accommodates both students and instructional methods.
PEPNet staff noted that these UD strategies not only enhance equal access for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students but to all students. These strategies have the potential of enhancing the learning of everyone and takes little effort or financial resources.

Should He Stay Or Should He Go?
Well over half a season gone with PHIL CLOWN as the man given the task of carrying on from where we left of last year. So why did we appoint someone with little managerial expieriance... OK so the reason for that was obivious he is cheap!
So he should do the decent thing and leave before we end up playing N********m F****t next season
(and no i dont think they are coming back up!)
He should serve his management apprentiship somewhere else to where he is more suited (Sunday League)
So these are my views and i think PHIL CLOWN fits the bill perfectly for his new name!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

well what can any true ram say after yesterday,s total humiliation i have said before give mr brown a chance after yesterday i take it all back the man is a joke as a manager and its time he and our present board did the decent thing and left our wonderfull club to give some 1 else a chance they cant be no worse
A Yahoo! User Jan 13, 2006 19:26 Flag
The biggest problem with phil brown is his team selection and tactics which I guess is a massive part of the game and explains all. We won sat why? cos he was forced to play a decent striker Peschy. he says pesky has been a victim of the system, well scrap the system its browns system and it was getting his draws not results. u can draw 46 championship games theoreotically but the end result with 3 for a win is relegation,maybe brown should do a maths exam or something!
A Yahoo! User Jan 6, 2006 05:17 Flag
well i have a couple of questions for you number 1 who the hell would come to derby in his place after idiakez and all our top players have gone and number two where is the money coming from for anyone better because it wont be the board or the bank thats for sure we r in the mire and things dont look like getting better only worse

listen the guy has taken a team that finished 4th and turned us into releGATION fodder. By insisting that we play defensive ignore our footballing skills and play one upfront at home. The guy is a joke he changes things a la gregory just for changings sake! I could do a better job, anyone we brought in would not ignore the strengths of the team and would let us play football and we could win matches. This guy has a bolton don't lose and draw mentality. We will not go up this way, we will go down...
the board are useless IMO but this guy is incompetant and this guy is the modern day howard wilkinson without the success!!!!

Your Nokia Lumia 800 is packed full of funky ringtones, but after a while you might get the urge to add your own custom ringtone based on the best bits of your favourite music tracks. Though it's not clear how to do this from the Windows Phone OS, it's perfectly possible – and really quite simple if you follow our handy tutorial.
Nokia Lumia 800: How to create, transfer and listen to music playlists
To get custom ringtones on your Nokia Lumia 800 you'll need to download a piece of MP3-editing software onto your PC or Mac. Any will do, but we've gone with Audacity (1.3 beta) as it's free and relatively easy to use. If you have your own editing software installed already, just skim through the first few steps, as we're going to incorporate how to get what you need out of Audacity for those who are starting from scratch.
Also ensure that you have Microsoft's Zune media management tool installed on the same computer (which is pretty likely if you have a Nokia Lumia 800), as well as a handful of music tracks (with no DRM restrictions) you'd like to turn into ringtones. Got everything sorted? Then we shall begin.
1. Open up Audacity and go to File>Import>Audio, then navigate to the music track you want to use for the basis of your ringtone
2. Click on the Selection Tool (the large 'I' symbol) at the top, then click and drag on the track timeline to highlight the section of music you want to use.
3. Press Play to preview this snippet, and manually tweak the time portion in the Selection Start and End sections at the bottom (must be 39 seconds or under).
4. Go to Edit>Remove Audio>Trim
5. Go to File>Export, and save the shortened track as an MP3 or WAV file. You might need to download an additional (free) file for MP3.
6. Go into Zune and import the track, then right click to edit and type the Genre in as Ringtone.
7. Connect your Nokia Lumia 800 and sync the track to it, either by right clicking on the track or physically dragging it onto the phone icon.
8. Go into Settings>Ringtones+sounds>Ringtone on your Nokia Lumia 800 and your track should be listed at the top under Custom.
Easy-peasy, eh? Now you can add as many new ringtones as you like based on your favourite music (or humorous home-recordings), and it won't cost you a penny. The hardest part will be bringing yourself to answer your Nokia Lumia 800 when it starts ringing.
Check out our How to add free custom ringtones to your Nokia Lumia 800 photo gallery:

CHP says the driver who veered his sport utility vehicle off Interstate 10 in Beaumont, and was killed as it careened down an embankment and
plowed into tree, was not wearing his seat belt.
Matthew Pettegrew, 28, of Fontana, was traveling alone Saturday afternoon on westbound Interstate 10 at about 70 mph, California Highway Patrol Officer Edward Nunez said.
Pettegrew inexplicably allowed his GMC Terrain to drift across the right shoulder towards the embankment east of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The SUV smashed into a tree, which left Pettegrew with fatal injuries, CHP, Nunez said.
