Unless wide receiver Eric Decker changes his mind and takes less money to stay with the Denver Broncos, it's likely he's going to be playing elsewhere in 2014. Losing Decker is a potentially damaging blow to the Broncos' high-powered offense, even if they have been preparing for this moment for quite some time.
It will be up to general manager John Elway to replace Decker this offseason. Like many free agents, Decker has made it clear he isn't going to accept less to play for a contender or play with quarterback Peyton Manning.
"If we can get on the same page, I will welcome a call from the Broncos, but I need to do what is best for my family," Decker said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
With Decker headed out the door, it's worth considering how the Broncos will replace a very productive No. 2 receiver. The Broncos will have to find someone else to catch 86 passes for 1,176 yards and 12 touchdowns, which is equal to Decker's average production over the last two years.
There are three possible options to replace Decker: Draft a replacement, sign a replacement in free agency or do nothing and simply divide Decker's targets among the offensive weapons already on the roster.
How Elway replaces Decker may ultimately determine if the Broncos can maintain their record-breaking offensive pace, or if they take a significant step back next season. If the offense takes a step back, the pressure will be on Elway to get the defense in order.
The Broncos' window to win a Super Bowl is closing, so the pressure is on Elway to make all the right moves this offseason. How he replaces Decker has the potential to have the biggest positive or negative impact.
Spread the Love
It's possible the Broncos will simply spread Decker's targets around to other players. Wide receivers Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker could see more targets, as well as tight end Julius Thomas.
The only other receivers under contract in 2014 are Nathan Palmer, Greg Wilson and reserve/future signing Jordan Norwood.
Palmer and Wilson have combined for one career catch for a loss of four yards. Norwood has 36 receptions for 405 yards and a single touchdown in his five-year career.
Andre Caldwell was the Broncos' No. 4 receiver in 2013, but he'll also be a free agent March 11. Caldwell had 16 receptions for 200 yards last season, so it might be a lot to ask of him to pick up Decker's slack. Caldwell primarily filled in for an injured Welker from Weeks 15 to 17.
It's not easy to divvy up about 135 targets between Demaryius Thomas, Welker and Julius Thomas. In theory, Thomas could see as many as 30 more targets to bring him to the tops in the league in that particular category.
Welker could see his targets mirror what he was getting in New England before signing with the Broncos last year, which would be an increase of about 60 targets.
|2013 Targets
|Manning High (Since 2008)
|2014 Target Adjustment
|Eric Decker
|Demaryius Thomas
|172 (Reggie Wayne 2010)
|Wes Welker
|172 (Reggie Wayne 2010)
|Julius Thomas
|129 (Dallas Clark 2009)
|Total (Top 4 Options)
That leaves roughly 40 targets to give to Julius Thomas, which would bring his total to around 130 for the season.
This isn't an unheard of number for a tight end or even for one of Manning's tight ends. According to ProFootballFocus.com (subscription required), Dallas Clark had 129 targets and 100 receptions for the Indianapolis Colts in 2009.
In theory, the targets can be redistributed. In reality, the Broncos are still going to need a receiver to line up outside. In reality, Manning throws to the open man, and the No. 2 receiver—even if he's the No. 4 option—is going to see plenty of targets.
After Marvin Harrison retired, Manning redistributed his 100 targets and Anthony Gonzalez's 78 targets to a rookie fourth-round draft selection named Austin Collie and a second-year player by the name of Pierre Garcon.
Maybe Norwood, Palmer or Wilson can be the 2014 version of Julius Thomas, or maybe the Broncos will more heavily utilize tight end Virgil Green. Those are all options, but they aren't particular inspiring ones.
Replace Decker Through the Draft
In a stroke of good luck, smart planning or both, the 2014 NFL draft is loaded at the wide receiver position. The Broncos have the 31st pick in every round, but they may not even need to use their early picks for a quality No. 2 receiver.
The Broncos don't have so many needs on the roster that they couldn't draft a wide receiver in the second or third round. There are also plenty of talented wide receivers expected to be available in that range.
CBSSports.com has a dozen receivers projected to go between Rounds 2 and 4, but they also have seven receivers projected to go in Round 1 or early in Round 2. A very good player could drop, or the Broncos could have their pick between several quality options.
|Projected Round
|Davante Adams
|Fresno State
|Paul Richardson
|Martavius Bryant
|Jared Abbrederis
|Donte Moncrief
|Ole Miss
If there ever were a draft to find a quality receiver in the middle rounds, this is probably the one.
Players like Donte Moncrief, Jared Abbrederis, Martavius Bryant, Davante Adams and University of Colorado star Paul Richardson could all be options for the Broncos in the second or third round.
The problem with this strategy is just how rare it is for a rookie receiver to be productive their first season. Only 12 wide receivers since the merger have put together 1,000-yard rookie campaigns. Only two also had more than 10 touchdowns.
It will likely take a rare rookie to earn Manning's trust right away, so the draft may not be the way to go to replace Decker—at least not this year. The draft might be a better place to find a player to develop.
Replace Decker Through Free Agency
A more logical option to replace Decker would be to find a cheaper free agent. Manning and the other talent around Decker has inflated his value, but that's not the case for many other players on the market.
Bringing back Caldwell is logical, but the Broncos can probably do even better without making a huge investment. The Broncos will likely avoid the top options, leaving just a few potential targets.
Andre Roberts has been a relatively productive receiver for the last three years, averaging over 50 receptions and 600 yards. Robert would likely have a career year with Manning throwing him the ball, but even if he didn't, his production is more than enough to replace Decker if the share of targets is also redistributed.
Roberts also is versatile enough to play in the slot or outside, which gives the Broncos offensive versatility. The trade-off is that Roberts isn't nearly as dangerous on the outside.
Although he's expected to be coveted this offseason, Emmanuel Sanders is an ideal fit for the Broncos. Sanders plays primarily on the outside and embraced the role of the No. 2 receiver in Pittsburgh behind Antonio Brown.
Like Roberts, Sanders has averaged over 50 receptions and 600 yards over the last couple of seasons. Sanders has been one of Ben Roethlisberger's most trusted receivers over the past couple of years—a good sign for his ability to earn Manning's trust.
If the Broncos wanted to swing for the fences, they could sign the very talented Kenny Britt. Not only is Britt a former first-round pick, but he'll be just 26 in September. Britt's ugly 2013, injury history and off-the-field behavior could make him dirt cheap in free agency.
Which free-agent WR would be the best fit for the Broncos?
Like Decker, Britt is 6'3" and over 200 pounds. Britt is actually bigger than Decker, so the Broncos wouldn't lose the great size advantage they have on the outside. During his time in Tennessee, Britt has had to be the No. 1 receiver, but he wouldn't need to be anything more than a No. 4 in Denver.
Manning and the coaching staff would obviously have to polish Britt's game up to their standard, but it's a relatively small risk for a potentially huge reward. Britt's routes were sloppy and he had seven drops on 33 targets in 2013 according to ProFootballFocus.com (subscription required).
Decker had a similar problem with drops in 2011, but was able to improve significantly over the last couple of years to the point where he was the team's most sure-handed receiver in 2013, per PFF.
Demaryius Thomas and Welker would also be a good influence on Britt, something he hasn't really had during his career.
If Britt wants to rehab his value, there is no better place than Denver. A motivated and focused Britt could totally replace Decker's production, and there isn't another affordable option available who can likely do that.
Other options include Nate Burleson, Tandon Doss, Jacoby Jones, Mario Manningham and Josh Morgan. It's not a particularly exciting group, but the Broncos should be able to find an affordable free-agent receiver to replace half of Decker's production.
The Broncos have enough resources to swing for the fences, play it safe and plan for 2015 and beyond when replacing Decker.
While some may argue that a lot of Decker's production was the result of Manning, the Broncos are still losing a very productive player.
Replacing Decker isn't necessarily going to be easy just because Manning may have inflated his statistics. Manning helps his receivers, but he can't just make any receiver catch 87 passes for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Elway has plenty of solid options to replace Decker, and it's worth wondering if all those options will drive his cost down sufficiently that he can be re-signed.
Decker might take a little less to stay in Denver to avoid the hassle of moving and learning a new playbook, but the offer will have to be competitive.

President Obama made an impromptu appearance in the White House briefing room last week and offered new enrollment figures for HealthCare.gov.
"The first open enrollment period under this new law ended a little over two weeks ago, and as more data comes in, we now know that the number of Americans who have signed up for private insurance in the marketplaces has grown to eight million people," Obama said.
The new total beats initial projections by one million people. Obama also said 35-percent of enrollees are under the age of thirty-five.

Google Glass is going to be Google's 2013 game-changing phenomenon when it rolls out at the end of this year. The new accessory will be priced somewhere around $1500, meaning that the average consumer may opt against purchasing it. It offers a bunch of nifty features, like being able to do a quick search, navigating the streets via a turn-by-turn overlay, and being able to take pictures and record video with voice commands and/or a few button clicks.
One very convenient feature that Google Glass will have is the ability to tether 3G or 4G data directly from your Android smartphone (as well as iPhones). While you can connect your Google Glass to a Wi-Fi internet connection, chances are while you're walking around, you're not going to have access to a stable Wi-Fi connection. That's when you whip out your smartphone and you pair it with your Google Glass via Bluetooth.
This feature should help alleviate some costs associated with Google Glass, because you're already going to burn a $1500 hole in your wallet. Having consumers pay an extra data fee for the accessory may not be very appealing, and users will require a constant connection to the internet for Google Glass to function properly.
Google Glass should be available by the end of this year, and that's also around the same time frame that Google's retail stores should begin appearing. People will be able to test out Google Glass before they spend a fortune on it. It's a great marketing strategy to give people a hands-on feel for the product, because even with Google's name, selling a $1500 accessory could be a very challenging feat. Does Google Glass interest you?

Last month, the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future (BRC) released its final report, a culmination of two years' work on the difficult issue of how best to manage the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle in the United States. We both participated in this process, as a commissioner and as staff director, and find it worthwhile to reflect on how the commission's process -- that is to say, involving the community -- shaped our recommendations.
Unsurprisingly, the most challenging part of waste management is finding facility sites that please all affected levels of government -- local, state, tribal, and federal. Opposition to nuclear waste management facilities -- particularly at the state level -- is at the heart of the federal government's failure to hit its 1998 deadline, set by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for disposal. The failure to meet that deadline, and missteps in the implementation of the Act, has led to an erosion of trust in the federal government's program.
To help restore at least some measure of trust in this nuclear waste management program, the commission found it essential to contact a wide range of individuals, state and local government representatives, and non-governmental organizations (NGO) with an interest in the issue -- in fact, one staff member's sole responsibility was identifying and contacting these people and groups. The commission then brought NGO and local government representatives from around the country to our meetings in Washington, DC. Commission members also traveled across the country to hold meetings in 11 states -- and several traveled to six countries (Sweden, Finland, France, UK, Japan, and Russia) -- to hear from communities most affected by the nuclear waste management challenge. All BRC hearings were open to the public and those that occurred in the United States were webcast live, if technology allowed, and all included public comment sessions. The information the commission received from these hearings and site visits was made available on its website www.brc.gov, as were all written comments on drafts of the final and subcommittee reports. Every comment was accepted, even from those who wrote to us on a daily basis.
The BRC's plan for conducting its review was evaluated and adapted as the process unfolded. After issuing its draft report in July 2011, for instance, the commission held five public hearings around the country to solicit feedback. These hearings were led by independent facilitators and included small-group breakout sessions for more intimate discussions. As BRC members, we found these hearings an invaluable source of feedback, and we incorporated many of these comments into our final report. For example, based on repeated feedback on how inadequately our report dealt with the safe transportation of spent fuel, we added an entirely new chapter on the issue and recommended that there should be prompt efforts to prepare for the large-scale transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste that will occur once a repository is open.
Even the editing process, to some degree -- from identifying what information to include in the final report to discarding suggestions with reasons why -- was public at our final meeting on December 2, 2011, in Washington, DC.
The public involvement process we adopted was not perfect, of course -- and critics will undoubtedly find elements of our process that fell short. But we're proud to have participated in a review that was as transparent and inclusive as any we've been a part of. Establishing a transparent and inclusive process added real value to the commission's work, made for a better final report, and proved to the commission that such a process can and should be replicated.
Currently, the Energy Department handles the country's program for managing spent fuel; however, the commission concluded that this is not the way forward. Inspired by its community interaction and strong feedback, the commission recommended that legislation be developed to transfer this responsibility to a new, independent, government-chartered corporation focused on carrying out this program. With a full-time management and staff devoted solely to nuclear waste management, the new organization would be able to undertake an even more extensive public involvement program than the commission could with its volunteer members and small staff. A strong public process that encourages community participation is essential for successful siting of repositories and storage facilities.
At the BRC's final meeting, we heard some distinctive praise for the commission's process during the public comment period. For instance, Arjun Makhijani, of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, said:
I really wanted to thank the commission. You started your work by everybody complaining about a lack of openness and lack of public comment, and how everything was predetermined. And you listened right away. You opened it up. You transcribed the proceedings. You webcast the proceedings. You expanded the public comment. And in this culminating session, you showed that you took the public comment seriously. So, I think that is really very exemplary, and I want to thank you for doing that.
We're pleased to note that groups as diverse as the Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects, the Energy Communities Alliance, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, and the Nuclear Energy Institute all voiced their support for the process the commission followed. It was gratifying to hear that the BRC's efforts at openness and inclusion were appreciated by those who have followed the nuclear waste management saga most closely over the past decades. To be sure, the new nuclear waste management organization we recommend will need to do far more in the way of public involvement than our small group was able to do, but we're confident that we've taken the first few steps down a new and far more promising path.

Wales honours its sacred son on St David's Day
On March 1st each year the principality of Wales celebrates the life of its patron saint David.
St David's Day sees thousands of proud people turn out for parades and festivities up and down the country.
Many will know of the customs observed on the special day, such as the wearing of leeks or daffodils, which are both emblems of Wales.
But the real focus is a celebration of national identity, through the reflection on the man after whom the day is named.
During his life in the 6th century, St David dedicated himself to spreading the Christian mission throughout Wales, giving rise to the widespread adoption of that religion all over the country.
As well as the customary adornments on one's dress, the Welsh dragon flag is flown even more prominently than usual and traditional food and drink are consumed on this most important feast.
Wales is known for having some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the UK. Across the country many people are dedicated to maintaining the use of the Welsh language, which is one of the oldest in the world.

Moving Mountains, September
The weather is getting cooler and the leaves are beginning to paint the ground – a gentle reminder that Fall is settling in with only three months left in the year. We are in to our 9th month of the Moving Mountains challenge updates, here on FGWT. Before getting on with the challenge updates, I want to repost a comment that a participant had during her last progress report. She wrote:
I have to say, when I read my goals from July I was thinking, dang I don't think I lost anything – maybe 1 pound. Then I looked back at my weigh-in sheet and realized that even with vacation, b-day parties, and camping I lost 5 pounds. You lose track of your success when you analyze your work weekly vs. monthly!
Thank you Kristen, for summing up one of the main reasons for hosting these monthly challenges. Sometimes it's hard to see progress when we're analyzing it day to day, or even week to week. Many times viewing goals month to month is a better way to notice the bigger picture and see how far we've come!
First, my goal for August: I wanted to keep up with my plank poses and attend 6 yoga classes, which I am happy to report I did! In fact, I've gone to yoga 7 times and my plan is to make yoga a priority two to three times per week. Working on plank really helped when I started yoga because even though I'm still in the beginning class I can hold plank for a long period of time. This is an area I'd never been able to do if I hadn't worked on it through this challenge.
For September my goal is to move on to the Yoga 1.5 Class where I'll learn to hold poses for longer periods of time and work on the benefits of meditation. I'm contemplating whether to try Hot Yoga for the first time.
How Did You Do In August?
Sharon's reason for not meeting her goals during the month of July was a very good one: the heat proved to be too oppressive to battle without becoming ill. For August's goals, she wrote:
I did not meet my goals for July and I'm not sure why. Actually, I think the oppressive heat we've suffered in the south just turned July into a blah month in which I accomplished practically nothing. So we'll turn the same goals over into August and go for losing the same five pounds between now and September 7.
Sharon, I hope you had a period of cooler weather these past few weeks. Looking forward to your update.
Kristen has been transforming herself all summer. Her recent before/after photos show just how hard she's been working. She's even working those tank tops she's been wearing (yay!) Here's what she wrote last month:
My August goals are:
1)To survive my 10K and keep up my regular 5mile runs.
2)Continue my weight loss journey of the upcoming big camping trips.
3)Climb a mountain in the ADK that I haven't before
4)Start lifting weights at night with hubby in our basement gym.
Can't wait to hear about your 10K, Kristen!
The lovely Sable is still working hard in her area of expertise: weightlifting. Here's what she wrote last month:
My goal is to bench press my bodyweight (135) cleanly once by Sept. 7. I'd also like to get up to 4 wide grip pull-ups from a dead hang (I'm at 3 now!)
How was your August, Sable? Were you able to master your pull-ups?
Tim achieved a goal in August that he didn't even list during last month's update so I'm going to share it with you on his behalf: He entered into ONEderland! Way to go, Tim!! Here's where Tim's focus was for the month of August:
By 7th September I will only work on my push ups (so I don't forget). I will practice every day and try and get as close to 50 as I can.
Give us an update on your push ups, Tim (and whether or not you've been able to keep up your efforts while in Scotland!)
Greg didn't officially list a goal for August, but he always checks in during our Moving Mountains updates so I'm posting for him here just to let him know that we're still rooting for him to complete his challenge, which is to get to his goal weight – as of this writing he's only three pounds away. Just remember Greg, the last 5 – 10 are the hardest to get off, so don't be discouraged. You'll get there.
Michele has had one heck of a busy summer. She's taking it in stride though, and taking good care of herself. Here's what she had to say last month:
This month I hope to just kind of stick to my eating plan and time schedule as best I can. I'm striving for balance here — I know I won't eat perfectly all the time, and I know I won't stick to the schedule all the time. The most important thing is to keep in mind that it's okay to deviate a bit. It's what we do routinely that matters most of all — not what we do on occasion.
I hope you've been able to maintain a healthy schedule this past month, Michele. Give us an update on how you've been doing
Laura, my virtual yoga buddy decided to make it her priority during the month of August, too. She's been dealing with some challenging new eating habits, also. Here's what she wrote last month:
For August, I'd like to complete the yoga challenge, and start to figure out my new "diet" and how it affects how, what, when and where I eat!
How have you been doing with your gluten-free diet, Laura? Would love to hear an update on that as well as how yoga has been going.
Teresa joined our Moving Mountains update challenge for the first time last month. Here's what she wrote for her goal:
For the rest of August, I am working on consistency with my exercise. I need to keep it kind of light right now, but that doesn't mean doing nothing. So, I'm doing 5 days a week of walking (or equivalent level on elliptical) for 30-60 minutes.
Can't wait to read about how the month of August went for you, Teresa!
Jules was also a first timer in leaving a goal last month. She had a huge challenge before her, too. Here's what she wrote:
This is my first time goal setting with you – my goal is to stick to my food plan this month. We have family staying with us all month so just doing that will be challenging enough.
Jules, I am hoping that you were able to maintain a solid eating pattern while company was at your home. I know how difficult a challenge that can be. Looking forward to reading all about it!
Hanlie is in the middle of wintertime where she lives, so she doesn't have the luxury of the warmer climate for outdoor motivation just yet. This is what she wrote last month.
My goals for August: Exercise every day – be it dancing, stretching, walking or water aerobics.
Hanlie, whether you've been working on an exercise goal or a healthy living goal, here's to hoping that you feel like you've made great strides since last month!
Lynn had been working on the Insanity program when her scale decided to break, last month. After a few revisions, she decided this about August's goals:
Aug goals: Begin a food log and follow my eating plan (adapted from the Insanity program).
Stay on track with combined Insanity workouts and runs (working out 6 times per week).
Get a new scale so I can track my progress!!
Always look forward to your monthly goal updates, Lynn. I hope you had a fantastic August
Would you like to participate in next month's Moving Mountains Update Challenge? It's easy to do: just post a comment below with a goal you'd like to begin working on or a goal you'd like to improve on, and then mark your calendar for October 7th, where we will all meet back here and share our updates with each other. Remember, it does NOT have to be an exercise goal. It can be ANY goal upon which you'd like to see improvement.
Thanks to everyone who participated. Now, get busy and fill us in on what you've been up to since last month

PORTSMOUTH — On Friday, the tall ship Eagle arrived to save the bridge. Oh, the bridge is still there, but this proud Coast Guard vessel — by merely passing under the new Memorial Bridge — helped take the sting of disappointment away for a few minutes with its pure majesty.
The pier at Prescott Park was jammed nearly to the point of collapse with people wielding cell phones and cameras, watching as the training ship came up the Piscataqua River for a weekend stay at the State Pier.
And, as the ship slid beneath the raised center lift span, that span was filled with more people with cameras — workers who got a special view of their own, looking down at the Eagle.
Promised a July 6 opening, we all had visions of a spectacular Fourth of July weekend. People would be walking across the bridge from Kittery, Maine, to share in events in Portsmouth.
It didn't happen. It didn't happen on July 19, when Archer Western faced a contractual deadline and had to start paying a hefty daily fine for being late. It hasn't, to this point, happened, and a ribbon-cutting is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 8.
What happens if Eileen Foley cuts the ribbon and they can't get cars across?
We don't know. All we know is that we hired Capt. Neil Odams and filled his tourist boat, Sir William Pepperrell, with 11 photographers to follow the Eagle up the river, past the old Wood Island Life Saving Station, past the Whaleback Lighthouse, past the historic forts that line the shore.
This was a magnificent journey. At the end, the Eagle slid under the new bridge, making history as the first tall ship to make the transit. We have photos to prove it.

ALBANY -- A group of protesters calling itself Occupy the Farm planted itself Sunday at a plot of farmland owned by the University of California along with banners and seedlings in what it called a fitting celebration of Earth Day.
About 20 core organizers put the project together, said Gopal Dayaneni, as the university continues pursuing plans to sell the Gill Tract, about 10 acres of agricultural land on San Pablo Avenue at the Berkeley-Albany border, for private development.
Dayaneni said the group is committed to growing both the farm and its community of farmers.
At about 6 p.m., as roughly 50 people continued working, Dayaneni said that earlier in the day the project had drawn hundreds of people in support. Volunteers had about 10,000 starts -- small bulbs or seedlings -- and dug dozens of rows, planting herbs, beans, broccoli, kale, chard and sweet peas. Some people brought chickens, and the group even brought in a large tank to water the rows.
"This is the last, best agricultural soil in the East Bay, and we want it to be preserved for community farming and sustainable urban agriculture, not chopped up and sold off in pieces by the university," said Dayaneni, a 43-year-old Oakland resident and father of two who said he's long been active in environmental and ecological issues in the East Bay.
He said the project became necessary as the Gill Tract has gradually been reduced from more than 100 acres to about 10 acres.
The group said it hopes the university will commit to using the remaining land for public farming, rather than selling it off. The new farm, Dayaneni said, is a work in progress, but the group hopes to build on Sunday's efforts and make it a source of "healthy, local, yummy, tasty food for people who need it."
A live online video stream from Ustream user BellaEiko on Sunday showed dozens of protesters milling about the tract around 4 p.m., some of them gardening. A few minutes earlier, the stream showed University of California police officers telling protesters that they were trespassing and subject to arrest.
Neither Cal spokesman Dan Mogulof nor university police immediately returned phone calls Sunday afternoon asking for comment. Albany police referred all questions to university police.
Dayaneni said the group has been cordial with police and is planning to camp out to protect its hard work.
"Occupy the Farm is committed to farming; that's the purpose of it," he said. "If (police) want to tell us to leave, we'll keep farming, and they'll have to make a decision what to do."

Ricardo Lizcano got robbed.
No, it won't be neccessary to file a report with the local law enforcement authorities, because what Marietta College shortstop Tim Saunders did to Lizcano was "perfectly legal" on the baseball diamond at Don Schaly Stadium Saturday.
Here's what fans witnessed, besides a 7-3 MC triumph over Heidelberg University, which incidentally was the "home team" in the league championship game.
During Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament action in the bottom of the fourth inning, Lizcano, Heidelberg's right fielder, drilled a laser shot off MC righty Mark Williams that appeared to be heading in the direction of Jordan Grilliot in left field.
But, at the crack of the bat, Saunders literally dove to his right, and parallel to the ground, he snared the low line drive with his glove backhanded in mid-air before landing on the infield dirt.
Out No. 1, and it was absolutely sensational.
The Pioneer faithful at the ballpark, of course, applauded and voiced their approval.
It truly was a highlight film defensive play, worthy of a viewing on ESPN, if the nationally televised sports network was interested. Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees, or just about any Major League Baseball shortstop, couldn't have made a much better grab than Saunders. It was that good.
Lizcano, with bat still in hand, was able to go about 10 steps up the first baseline before stopping and just staring (or was he glaring?) out at Saunders at shortstop. The Student Prince senior knew that he'd been deprived of a basehit, so he slowly walked back to the HU third base dugout.
Thing is, Heidelberg hits were difficult to come by in this game, thanks to the pitching of Williams. Lizcano's smash was the hardest hit ball off the Pioneer hurler, and it was nothing but a loud out.
Before departing in the eighth inning with a 7-1 lead, Williams had given up a bunt hit in the opening frame, a sun-aided popfly flare to short left field in the sixth and a clean single to right in the eighth.
"Obviously, pitching has been our strength all year," said Marietta skipper Brian Brewer afterwards. "Defense has helped them out, and the offense continues to improve throughout the course of the season."
Interestingly, in the top of the fourth inning, Lizcano had an opportunity to rob the right-handed-batting Saunders of a low but catchable line drive hit to right. The HU outfielder came in on the ball as if to make a shoestring catch, but instead misplayed the ball for an error.
If Lizcano somehow had made the catch, it would have been a nice one but not as good as Saunders' take-away in the bottom half of the frame.
By the way, after reaching first base safely, Saunders later came around to score an unearned run for the Pioneers.
Guess it just wasn't Lizcano's day, no thanks in part to the glove of Saunders.

I have less than a month to go before Wildflower. This is scary for me and, of course, a little exciting. I've recently become obsessed with brick workouts because I figure this is really the only way to be prepared.
The online training program Gale provided us is chalked full of brick workouts. Today, for example I am supposed to swim and then do a speed running workout. I've been trying to push these two workouts as close together as possible in an effort to recreate a triathlon experience. Unfortunately, real life gets in the way on occasion and I've miss one part of the workout.
The other day I decided to create a mini tri for myself. I even set up fake transition areas. I swam the full 1.5 km, then changed clothes and rehydrated - this took four and a half minutes - and then jumped on the bike. Normally, I would cycle outside, but it has been annoyingly windy and I opted to ride indoors. I cycled 10 miles, then went over to the treadmill and ran three miles. My bike-to-run transition was two minutes because I casually filled my water bottle, stretched and then walked over to the treadmill.
Obviously not a full triathlon. At Wildflower I would have another 15 miles on the bike and three more miles running. The good news is, I felt OK.
I'm going to have to prepare and test out different types of energy bars or snacks for my transition. I am always famished when I finish my swim. I've also discovered that my foot strike on the treadmill is different than when I run outdoors. I seem to strike on my heel instead of more flatfooted and it causes my shins to get super tight. I spent considerable time stretching afterwards and the next day felt pretty good. Not sore, just a bit tired in the legs.
Last week ended on a high note with my long bike ride. The day after I flew out to New Jersey to visit some family. I knew it would be difficult to get a swim or cycle in. I packed my running shoes in hopes of logging some much needed miles in even though I knew my schedule would be packed with family visits and work.
I've laid off running for a few weeks because of the lingering tenderness in my right knee. The pain finally subsided and I've been ramping up up running regiment ever since. I had hoped to get a few long runs in during my five days back East. My first monring I woke up and the snow was already falling. A Noreaster hit that night, 10 inches of snow fell and my choices were immediately cut down to a treadmill in the hotel.
I can't complain. When I lived in Wisconsin the only option during the winter months was a treadmill or braving the cold and snow. My short time back in the desert has made me soft, so I stuck to running indoors. I managed two runs, which were a struggle because they were boring.
I can't write enough about how hard it is to stay on task while traveling. It's been my biggest hurdle to date. Luckily, I have avoided sickness. Everytime my schedule shifts - even one day trips away from home - my training seems to slip.
So what do all of you do when you're traveling with little more than a pair of running shoes? And how do you get those necessary workouts in when you're traveling on business and are limited by a tight schedule or the weather?

On Friday, my son turned eight.
This hardly seems possible, as it was just about a year ago that he entered the world, screaming like a cheetah and waving his fists. Or maybe it was a year ago that he finally sprouted some hair on the sides of his head, and took a few wavering steps toward me, drooling and babbling triumphantly.
No, I guess that has been a few years. Surely last year was the year where he was so excited over the Blue's Clues bag he received a gift in that he couldn't be bothered to open the present. Or maybe it was when his obsession with dinosaurs kicked in.
Okay, wow. He was pretty small when that all started. Maybe it was the time we celebrated his birthday with an outing to the beach?
No, he's much bigger than that now. Shoot.
This boy is looking a little bit more familiar. Surely kindergarten was only a month ago. Right?
I remember THAT little ditty like it was yesterday. And yet, the cheery little note on my calendar says my boy is EIGHT.
So, what has he been doing all these years? Losing teeth and growing new ones, for starters.
Learning every known fact about dinosaurs.
Mastering the almighty two-wheeler.
Alternately teasing his sisters and snuggling up to them.
Leaping in way over your head to almost any new situation, except those involving vegetables:
And of course, making my ears bleed from all the talking, and making my heart melt from all the loving.
Hey, buddy, I'm not quite sure how you woke up as an eight-year-old, when I clearly remember just yesterday when you fit in the crook of my arm. I remember all those milestones you've passed over these last eight, and yet I can't believe that you are so tall, and so smart, and so brave, and so... eight.
I'm the luckiest mom on the planet, and I'm glad you're my guy. I'm glad you still bury your nose in my neck when you hug me, and I'm glad that my kisses are still enough to make things right in your world. I know that's probably not long for this world. I'm also not in any hurry for your Elmer Fudd speech to fade, although with each passing month, it fades a little bit more. What can I say? It's nice to be wuved.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is a new wireless data transmission and reception technique for automatic identification, asset tracking, security surveillance etc. A typical RFID system is shown in Fig. 1.
A RFID system consists of three major components: a reader or integrator, which sends the interrogation signals to a RFID transponder or tag, which is to be identified; a RFID tag, which contains the identification code; and a middleware, which maintains the interface and the software protocol to encode and decode the identification data from the reader into a mainframe or a personal computer. Realising the fact that the barcode and other means for identifications and asset tracking are inadequate for recent demands, RFID technology has been taking the world of logistics, supply chain managements, asset tracking, security access control, and many other applications areas by storm. RFID was first proposed by H. Stockman [1]. He has introduced RFID systems in his landmark paper "Communication by Means of Reflected Power" [2]. Stockman advocates that considerable research and development works need to be done to solve the basic problems of wireless identification by means of reflected power [1].

SAN JOSE — The Sharks on Friday wanted to forget about a controversial delay of game call on Marc-Edouard Vlasic in the late stages of Game 2 against the Los Angeles Kings that put San Jose down two men with less than three minutes left in the third period.
Vlasic was whistled for a delay of game penalty with 2:19 left in the third period after his clearing attempt in the Sharks' defensive zone wound up in the seats. The Sharks argued that the puck went off Kings forward Jeff Carter before it reached the stands, which would have nullified any penalty.
As it was, the Sharks faced a 5-on-3, and the Kings scored twice on the power play to help earn a 4-3 victory and take a two-games-to-none lead in the Western Conference semifinal series.
Right now, video review is not used to definitively rule whether a puck goes off another player before it goes out of play, and referees do not have any discretion in making the call.
"I guess we have looked at it, and it's the same penalty for both teams," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said when asked if the NHL should look at adjusting the rule.
"It's usually in a desperate situation. What makes it tough is you're in a penalty kill situation already. But it's a rule that exists and we have to abide by it. I thought I might get asked a little more about the opportunity to throw the red flag out. I was reaching last night and didn't have one."
Vlasic said video might help make the correct call, but felt in Friday's instance, it wasn't needed.
"It doesn't matter what I think," Vlasic said if he felt it was clear cut that the puck went off Carter. "It really doesn't. Even if I can tell you what I think, it's not going to change anything, but I didn't think you needed a review in that situation."
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby told reporters Friday that a play like that should be reviewable.
"It shouldn't take that long. It obviously has a huge importance in a game," Crosby said. "Should be able to see it pretty clear on a video review if that did clearly go over or hit a stick. I've seen a couple of those throughout the playoffs."
Game 3 is Saturday at 6 p.m. at HP Pavilion.

Dear Friends of Hua Dan,
At this special time of year, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the generous support of our donors and volunteers. In particular, we extend our sincere thanks to our most recent donors, the Chen Yet-Sen Foundation, Xin Gong Min, Beijing Improv and PCD.
Thanks to their contributions, Hua Dan will start a new children's project in Beijing in January 2012, offering drama and film workshops to more than three hundred children over the course of one year.
In this newsletter we are highlighting two key aspects of our work:
Firstly, our Consulting Programme — a way in which you can both help Hua Dan and improve your staff performance. These exciting workshops offer opportunities for your staff to engage with the work of Hua Dan in the field. All proceeds from the trainings support Hua Dan's own work with migrant worker communities. See below for details of some of the different products we offer.
Secondly, we are profiling some of the stories of Hua Dan's migrant worker facilitators. A core part of Hua Dan's model is the training of migrant workers to incubate and lead our projects in the communities with other migrant workers and children. In the coming weeks, we will be sharing with you some of these stories, as well as seeking your support to continue to train more facilitators to join our team.
Join Hua Dan in its efforts to bring positive transformation inside China's migrant communities and contribute to a more stable and fair development for all!
Donations can be made through Ammado, PayPal, or directly to our Hong Kong HSBC bank account.
Wishing all of you the very best for the coming year!
The Hua Dan team
Consulting Programme workshops
Mobile Theatre
Hua Dan helps you to spread your ideas. We gather what your company has to say in terms of social responsibility and carry these ideas into communities by performing them as a piece of drama, supporting your aim of enhancing society.
Community Theatre
We provide "volunteer service" projects for your company staff. We give your personnel the opportunity to contribute to society via Hua Dan's community work. We help you to realize your goal of social responsibility and to raise your staff's social awareness. Each project is accompanied by a Hua Dan theatre workshop.
Transforming Theatre
Our professional and international theatre troupe provides short or long term theatre trainings for your business. We improve your company's capability of communicating, creating, team working and personal leadership and discover new problem solving opportunities for you. This is combined with effective consulting and evaluation services.
Conference Theatre
We transform your conference topic into a drama performance and put it on stage. We provide a workshop based on participatory theatre and authentic performances in order to improve your conference's workflow and create team building opportunities.
Hua Dan stories
There are many young migrant workers who have benefited from our Migrant Training and Employment Programme and who are now helping to run our other programmes. We are now featuring their stories on our website, including that of Dong Fen.
Dong Fen, Hua Dan Operations Manager
My name is Dong Fen, I come from the town of Sanbao, in the province of Yunnan. When I was a teenager, I wasn't able to continue going to school because my family didn't have enough money. This has always been one of my father's biggest regrets, but I kept telling him: "Every cloud has a silver lining."
While I was working as a beautician, I met several excellent mentors and friends, especially at Hua Dan. Hua Dan allowed me to see a world beyond that of a beautician, to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and to define my life's goals. Hua Dan also gave me a platform to better develop my talents, allowed me to widen my experience and perspective, and provided me with the opportunity to use my skills to positively influence many young men and women like myself.
I believe that everyone's development is highly impacted by the influence and guidance they receive. As a young woman from a small town, I have been so fortunate to have received the help and guidance of so many teachers, elders and friends on my road that enable me to become the person I am today.
Hua Dan is a very powerful organisation. Through theatre, it unearths and stimulates each person's latent talents, and helps him or her to become an honest, courageous, innovative and confident leader
50,000 RMB (US$7,900 / EUR 6,000) will enable us to train a migrant woman to become a Hua Dan leader. Help Hua Dan empower migrant women with more opportunities.
Ways you can help
Donate to Hua Dan
Donations can be made through Ammado, PayPal, or directly to our Hong Kong HSBC bank account.
Volunteer for Hua Dan
We need volunteers to help our facilitators run the workshops. Fluency in Chinese required. In addition, we always need volunteers to help with translation, especially Chinese to English.
If you are interested, please fill in our online form.
Buy our consulting products
Once again, one of the ways in which you can both help Hua Dan and improve your staff performance is by purchasing our Consulting Programme workshops. These exciting workshops can offer opportunities for your staff to not only engage with the work of Hua Dan on the field, but can also provide an innovative entertainment option for your corporate event or create opportunities for you to develop a great corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. All proceeds from the trainings support Hua Dan's own work with migrant worker communities.
If you are interested in more information about our Consulting Programme, please contact us via our website, or contact Pauline Bandelier (International Development Officer) directly at email@example.com.

After enjoying a very traditional Fourth of July replete with burgers, barbeque, fireworks, patriotic clothing and even a group Pledge of Allegiance, I realized I didn't fully understand the genesis of the holiday, so I set about
We think of July 4, 1776, as the day that represents the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation. But July 4 wasn't the day the Continental Congress decided to declare independence. They actually did that on July 2, 1776.
At the time, "taxation without representation" was the battle cry in all 13 colonies as a result of being forced to pay taxes to England's King George III despite having no representation in the British Parliament. As dissatisfaction grew, British troops were sent in to quell the early movement toward rebellion, but repeated attempts by the colonists to resolve the crisis without military conflict proved fruitless.
The conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when representatives from the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of '76. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House, later to be renamed Independence Hall, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words, "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
Lee's words were the impetus for the drafting of a formal Declaration of Independence and a Committee of Five was appointed to draft a statement presenting to the world the colonies' case for independence. Committee members were John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert R. Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, who actually wrote the draft.
On July 2, Lee's Resolution for Independence was adopted and discussion of Jefferson's more expanded document resulted in 86 editing changes, culminating in a vote on the revisions on the afternoon of July 4th.
However, contrary to popular belief, the decision was not unanimous. Of the 13 colonies, nine voted in favor; Pennsylvania and South Carolina voted no, Delaware was undecided and New York
It is said John Hancock signed with such a flourish so that King George could read without his spectacles.
On July 3, in great foretelling, John Adams wrote to his beloved Abigail that, if passed, the Declaration of Independence would be celebrated as the great anniversary, with "pomp and parade, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illumination from this time forward forever more."
However, it did take a fair bit of time before Adams' prophecy rang true.
For the first 15 years or so following ratification, too much else was happening in our young nation to stop and celebrate. Then the 1790s ushered in a period of very partisan politics with the Federalists thinking the document was too French and too anti-British.
After the Federalist party began to unravel, the parties of the 1820s and 30's all considered themselves proud inheritors of the Jefferson document. Sadly, the deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams on the same Fourth of July in 1826 helped to promote July 4 as an important date to be remembered.
Celebrations became more common as the years passed, especially after the end of the War of 1812 with Britain, and in 1870, almost 100 years after its signing, July 4 was declared a national holiday. Only in 1938 did Congress reaffirm it as a paid holiday.
The night before the fourth was once the focal point of celebration, especially in New England. Towns competed to build towering bonfire pyramids, the highest ever in Salem, Mass., on Gallows Hill, scene of the famous executions for witchcraft.
Celebrations vary greatly in size and scope throughout the country from 10k races in Atlanta, to a Freedom Festival in Detroit, to our own Macy's fireworks display, televised since 1976. In 2009, New York City had the largest fireworks display to date, exploding over 22 tons of pyrotechnics. This year marked the 42nd year of the hotdog eating contest at Nathan's Famous of Coney Island.
The meaning of the holiday, as is no surprise, was articulated best by Thomas Jefferson on his death bed in a letter declining an invitation to journey to Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 50th anniversary on the signing of the Declaration of Independence. "May it be to the world, what I believe it will be…the signal of arousing men to burst the chains…and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. That form, which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man…For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.

I was ready to throw in the towel but decided to give it one more try but this time I was going to freestyle. No recipe to start off with and whaddya know? These turned out so good! Michael tested them and gave them a huge thumbs up, after giving previous recipes vehement thumbs DOWN. (I only tell you that so you know he isn't afraid to give his precious wifey honest feedback.)
I am currently not consuming grains, which makes baking a little tricky, but if you don't have almond flour or coconut flour on hand you could try this with oat flour but I haven't tried it so I can't guarantee anything!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
1 cup almond meal (or almond flour. Almond meal means ground almonds with skin. Almond flour means ground almonds without the skin. Your choice.)
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 mashed ripe bananas (you could probably sub 1/2 - 3/4 cup pure pumpkin to lower the carbs)
2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
3 packets of Stevia
1 teaspoon vanilla
** Optional, but highly recommended: dark chocolate chips
If you are dairy free, I highly recommend the chocolate chips by Enjoy Life. They are delicious!
In one bowl mix whisk together the smashed banana, egg, and vanilla.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, and Stevia.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together. If you choose to add chocolate chips, now is the time! Dump them in and mix.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease with coconut oil.
Drop the dough into 15 little spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 7 - 9 minutes. They should still be soft when you take them out of the oven. If they aren't, start over because you burned them. These cookies will "set up" as they cool so they won't be quite as smushy as when you remove them from the oven but they will remain deliciously soft.
Makes 15 small cookies
Smear a bit of natural peanut butter on top if you like and enjoy this delicious grain-free treat!
|Sidenote: Currently addicted to nude colored nailpolish, with this one being my favorite!

Vestiges of Harlem's Jewish Past
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: June 7, 2002
ON the map of the Jewish diaspora, Harlem is Atlantis. That it was once the third largest Jewish settlement in the world after the Lower East Side and Warsaw -- a vibrant hub of industry, artistry and wealth -- is all but forgotten. It is as if Jewish Harlem sank 70 years ago beneath the waves of memory, beyond recall.
At least until you spy the Star of David medallions atop the Baptist Temple Church. Or the cornerstone of the Mount Neboh Baptist Church that says it was built in 5668. Or the marble pediment leading to the baptismal pool at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, on which is inscribed the Old Testament verse: ''Jehovah is in his holy temple; be silent, before him, all the earth.''
In its churches, of all places, Harlem reveals its Jewish past.
''This is their homeland, too,'' said Michael Henry Adams, a preservationist and the author of ''Harlem Lost and Found, An Architectural and Social History: 1765-1915,'' to be published by the Monacelli Press.
Few structures in New York so poignantly reflect the layering of history as its houses of worship. While the best known among them -- Abyssinian Baptist Church, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Temple Emanu-El, Trinity Church -- are still used by the denominations that built them, most have changed hands over time.
The synagogues of Harlem have served as Christian churches far longer than they were used for Jewish worship. But the story of a richly inflected part of town is told through stained-glass Stars of David, Ten Commandments tablets, Middle Eastern filigree and silent vestiges of Orthodox Judaism like women's balconies.
''There are steps in the evolution of the American synagogue here,'' said Jeffrey S. Gurock, the Libby M. Klaperman Professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University and the author of ''When Harlem Was Jewish, 1870-1930'' (Columbia University Press, 1979).
Standing near the corner of Fifth Avenue and 116th Street, Dr. Gurock can imagine worshipers filling the broad thoroughfares during High Holy Days.
Behind him is the Baptist Temple Church, 18 West 116th Street, built in 1906 for Congregation Ohab Zedek. In this enormous synagogue, a Hungarian group that had come from the Lower East Side hired its first English-speaking rabbi and thrilled worshipers by introducing Yossele Rosenblatt as its cantor. Across 116th Street, at No. 37, is the Salvation and Deliverance Church. This was once Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein's Institutional Synagogue, which drew new generations to Orthodoxy by offering social, educational and recreational services, inspiring a phenomenon known as the ''shul with the pool.'' Goldstein held huge youth rallies in a nearby theater.
Just visible in the distance are the turrets of the Bethel Way of the Cross Church of Christ, 25 West 118th Street, built in 1900 for Congregation Shaare Zedek. At this building, Dr. Gurock said, Central and Eastern European Jews came together.
Around World War I, Dr. Gurock said, about 175,000 Jews lived in Harlem, including his father's family, which was in a tenement at Park Avenue and 100th Street. Within the next 20 years, the Jewish population had almost entirely dispersed.
While researching his dissertation on Jewish Harlem in the mid-70's, Dr. Gurock paid a call on the tiny Congregation Tikvath Israel at 160 East 112th Street. Nine men had gathered there from the housing project across the street -- just one shy of the quorum, or minyan, needed for a service. ''It's like a miracle,'' Dr. Gurock recalls the rabbi saying as he entered. ''Every time we have services, someone shows up and makes it possible.''
Tikvath Israel is now Christ Apostolic Church of U.S.A. No wider than a brownstone, its modest architecture discloses the gulf between the working-class Jews of East Harlem, whose synagogues were as plain as those on the Lower East Side, and the middle-class residents of Central Harlem, who constructed synagogues that proudly, even lavishly, proclaimed their arrival in society.
Before Tikvath Israel moved in, the four-story building had been home to Congregation Ansche Chesed, which went on to build one of the grandest synagogues in Harlem, at 1883 Seventh Avenue (now Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard), on the corner of 114th Street.
Designed by Edward I. Shire, Ansche Chesed has a neo-Classical porch behind six tall columns supporting a pediment with a decalogue, representing the tablets of the Ten Commandments. The cornerstone is incised with the dual dates of 1908 and 5668, on the Hebrew calendar.
Today that same porch is used for outdoor summertime services by its current owner, the Mount Neboh Baptist Church. Inside, the building reveals yet another heritage as the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, a Spanish parish, in the mid-20th century. Around the tall arched windows in the barrel-vaulted sanctuary are elaborate hand-painted yellow-and-blue tiles with floral patterns, cherubs and medallions of such important saints and patrons as Our Lady of High Grace, Our Lady of the Angels and St. Catherine Labouré.
(Perhaps only one other Manhattan sanctuary, St. Ann's Shrine and Armenian Catholic Cathedral at 110 East 12th Street, has served Jews, Catholics and Protestants.)

Aug. 23 — To the Editor:
Andrew Hemingway is my choice for governor in the primary on Sept. 9. He is a successful high-tech entrepreneur who has created and sold two small businesses. Andrew knows that if New Hampshire lowers business taxes and fees, and simplifies our bureaucracy, small and large businesses will once again invest in our state.
Over the past 10 years, New Hampshire has moved from one of the best states for business investment to below average because of our business income taxes and enterprise fees.
There are 10,000 students who graduate from New Hampshire colleges every year and most of them would love to find a job in New Hampshire, if new jobs were available.
Andrew Hemingway as governor would be a breath of fresh air, setting policies that would encourage investment and generate more jobs. The timid tax reductions proposed by his opponent would do very little to attract startup companies and others to come to New Hampshire to stimulate the investment and job growth we need.
Our situation today is similar to when Ronald Reagan became president. Our U.S. economy was flat. President Reagan reduced taxes sharply and new businesses and job growth resulted. Total tax revenue was expanded with the growth of new economic activity.
Hemingway would take the steps necessary to return New Hampshire to its rightful place as the Live Free or Die state with full employment. Please vote for him Sept. 9.

Kura or Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) is a perennial, rhizomatous legume indigenous to Caucasian Russia and adjacent regions (Kannenberg & Elliott,1962; Bryant, 1974). Those agronomic characteristics that lend it potential significance, namely an extensive root-rhizome system, winter-hardiness, resistance to numerous and serious clover pests, and the production of nectar-rich flowers, were enumerated by Parker & Allen (1952). These authors also pointed out that usage of kura clover was hampered by ineffective nodulation. However, in recent years commercial and effective inoculant preparations have become available. Consequently, it has been suggested that kura clover could have potential as a pasture legume and for soil conservation purposes (Bryant, 1974; Spencer et al.1975). Pertinent literature on kura clover is scanty. The present study evaluated the nutritional characteristics of kura clover relative to otherforage legumes.

The video for "97.92," the result of collaboration between Aplusfilmz and Pier Pictures, was created using a 360-degree HD camera rig with a remote-controlled drone octo-copter. The device is the H3Pro7, invented by Michael Kintner, which shoots with 7 GoPro cameras all rolling simultaneously. The 7 shots are synced and stitched together to create the full-360 spherical view, which can then be manipulated with the effects and camera movements you see here."97.92″, from Trash Talk and Flatbush Zombies, is the second track off of CONS EP VOL. 1.

EAST PRAIRIE - East Prairie Junior High School recently received a SMART Board interactive whiteboard under Ameren Corporation's new "Power Up" program that brings technology and support to classrooms and teachers.
In 2005, Ameren is donating more than 200 of the devices - with a total value of $600,000 - to kindergarten through 12th grade classrooms throughout the Ameren companies' service areas in Missouri and Illinois.
The SMART Board interactive whiteboard is a touch-sensitive display about the size of a standard whiteboard. Hooked up to a computer and projector, it operates like a giant computer screen that students and teachers simply touch to operate. Students can also write over applications in digital ink, then save their work for future study and review. The interactive whiteboard engages students with diverse learning styles by providing both immediate access to a wide range of digital materials and a common focus for the entire class.
"We are elated to receive this great education technology through Ameren's Power Up Education Program. Not only does it allow our students to become even more technologically savvy, but it allows each student to think critically, create and produce in a most conducive manner. Obviously, supporting and improving education is a top priority for Ameren." said East Prairie Principal Eva Chance.
"Our new Power Up education grant program came in response to survey results from Ameren customers who said they care most about improving education," said AmerenUE Energy Delivery Senior Vice President Richard Mark. "We support our communities in many ways beyond our basic role of providing reliable gas and electric service. This program is aimed at supporting education throughout Ameren's service area - where school systems area facing some tough financial pressures."
Applications must be submitted electronically through the Ameren Web site. For more information, and applications, to www.ameren.com/education. Then click on "Power Up Grants". Anyone with questions may call toll free 877-4-
AMEREN, extension 42789, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. weekdays.
Ameren, through its subsidiaries, serves 2.3 million electric customers and more than 900,000 natural gas customers in a 64,000 square mile area of Missouri and Illinois.

While watching a graduation commencement, it occurred to me how similar graduation and retirement are. Most of the graduates were being asked what are you going to do after graduation. Quite often, acquaintances ask me what are you going to do after retirement? I usually respond by saying, "Retire from what? I'm doing what I like to do."
