BAYFIELD � The defense, in this case, didn�t rest.
On the contrary, the Wolverines� defense took matters into its own hands Saturday afternoon.
Trailing Trinidad 12-7 in the fourth quarter of the first-round Class 2A state playoff game at Wolverine Country Stadium, the Bayfield defense forced and recovered two fumbles.
The Wolverines� offense converted both turnovers into touchdowns, helping the Bayfield High School football team remain unbeaten with a nervous 21-12 victory over the stubborn Miners.
The win sends Bayfield (10-0) into the state quarterfinals next Saturday and a game against Faith Christian (8-2) at Wolverine Country Stadium.
�I was standing on the sidelines, and I couldn�t even contemplate not playing here again,� Bayfield senior linebacker Michael Hawkins said after the comeback victory.
�We knew we had to shut them down (in the second half),� Hawkins said after Trinidad stung the Wolverines with two touchdowns in the second quarter, including a scintillating 80-yard run by senior Chris DeAngelis.
The result was a 12-7 Miners� lead � Bayfield�s first and only halftime deficit of the season.
�We had to come out and do what we are trained to do every day,� Hawkins said.
Like recover fumbles.
The first recovery came with 11 minutes, 42 seconds to go in the fourth when a BHS defensive wall led by Kyle Briskey ran into Trinidad�s Thomas Bowman, knocking the football free deep in Miners� territory.
Under the pile, four hands strangled the ball: Two belonged to Hawkins, and two belonged to teammate Zane Westbrook.
�I don�t know who had it � I had it; Westbrook had it. With the crowd and everything, you could feel ... the momentum,� said Hawkins, son of Cindy and Frank Hawkins.
The BHS offense, stymied heretofore by a physical Trinidad defense, quickly drove 21 yards for a score.
Allec Rodriguez, on a halfback option pass, threw 15 yards to Drake Rhodes for the Bayfield touchdown and a 13-12 lead with 9:42 to play. On the two-point conversion, Rodriguez passed to Rhodes just inside the pylon: Bayfield 15, Trinidad 12.
�Coach believes in us as a team. He believes in us as players,� Rodriguez said of the pressure-packed fourth-down option pass for a touchdown.
�We practice it all the time,� said Rodriguez, son of Johnny Rodriguez and CJ and Ramona Nava.
He said a strong run fake is the key to set up the play.
�Big-time teams make big-time plays,� he said. �But I couldn�t do it without the line blocking for me and Drake catching it.�
One series after taking the lead, the Wolverines� defense forced a punt.
Big-time pressure on fourth down produced a fumbled snap with the Wolverines taking over at the Trinidad 25-yard line.
Six plays and three minutes later, Knickerbocker lofted an 18-yard touchdown pass over the middle to Anthony Chamblee: Bayfield 21, Trinidad 12.
�It seems like all year, if the offense was struggling, the defense would give us another chance,� BHS head coach Gary Heide said.
�They would stop the opponent and give us another chance,� Heide said.
And the offense responded, he said.
�Hats off to our boys on offense. They took advantage of those second chances,� Heide said.
As the No. 3 seed in the Class 2A field of 16, the Wolverines (10-0) eliminated a No. 14 seed that nearly ended Bayfield�s winning streak, courtesy of DeAngelis, the third-leading 2A rusher in the state. His shifty 80-yard run, with a cutback against the defensive flow, put the Miners on the board in the second quarter.
After Trinidad recovered a Bayfield fumble on the next series, DeAngelis, with a 23-yard run, moved the Miners into position for an 8-yard touchdown sneak by freshman quarterback Danny Martin and Trinidad�s 12-7 halftime lead.
DeAngelis finished with 165 yards on 13 carries.
TJ Pazell led BHS with 96 yards on 20 punishing carries against the Miners.
Pazell�s booming 50-yard punt in the first quarter flipped the field and set up the Wolverines for their first score � a 3-yard Pazell run.
�Earlier (in the game), I was feeling pretty good,� Pazell said of his field-position punts.
�Later on, I was cramping a little,� said Pazell, son of David and Stacy Pazell.
DeAngelis experienced the same problems.
�Our team needed a victory like that,� Heide said. �We have the ability to overcome adversity, but we haven�t had to show it the last three weeks.�
But after three consecutive blowouts, BHS on Saturday played under pressure from start to finish.
�I think this sets the bar for us. It sets the bar for a really worthy opponent next week,� Heide said.

I just got this text message on my phone: (and yes I already tried calling the # back, got nothing)
Hi I am a friend of a friend and I just thought you would like to know about your husband. He has had multiple affairs throughout your relationship with him, and was recently spotted with a married woman. He has been with a lot of married women, actually. So he obviously does not value the institution of marriage. I am choosing to stay anonymous. I'm sorry to have to tell you all this, but if it were me, I'd want to know.
I am so confused! I mean DH and I have had a troubled relationship, but this? WWYD?
ETA I forwarded it to DH's phone and asked him what it was, haven't heard back from him yet. :/

Isabella Nava makes it look easy. The youth tennis player honing her skills at the Instinctive Tennis Academy this past week volleyed, served and returned shots better than boys noticeably older than her.
"Isabella, how old are you?" a Family Circle Tennis Center employee shouted.
"Six and three quarters," she yelled.
If the tennis drills were designed in winner-stays format, Isabella wouldn't leave the court. She's a product of the Eye Coach, an innovative teaching tool used at the Instinctive Tennis Academy (ITA) on Daniel Island.
Tennis legend Billie Jean King has endorsed the product.
ITA camps run throughout the summer for week-long sessions. Camp director Peggy Bachofner uses the Eye Coach in three steps at the summer camps. The first step is to mold players' swing by keeping their head down for hand-eye coordination and keeping proper form. Then, feeding "still balls," or stationary, is the next step. Feeding moving balls is the final step, maintaining the same swing and watching the point of contact just like when using the stationary Eye Coach.
Bachofner said beginning players have a tendency to raise their heads at the point of contact, "The first thing you want is that instant gratification," she said. The Eye Coach helps players keep their heads down through contact, producing a smoother and more accurate swing.
The Eye Coach is used at every level at the ITA, according to club professional Bryan Minton. The younger kids spend more time with the training tool, but even the more advanced players still begin every session with at least 10 minutes on the Eye Coach.
Minton said the bottom line for the elite program is commitment – accomplished by the same training methods they've had for years.
The shining star of the ITA program is Shelby Rogers, currently slotted No. 134 in the Women's Tennis Association singles rankings. She began using the Eye Coach since it was popularized on Daniel Island.

This is why you're broke, coffee edition
My first time at Kaffee 1668, the line was literally out the door. When I got to the counter, I ordered a small mocha. I had barely uttered "no whipped cream," when the barista looked me straight in the eyes and said, "We don't do that here." Still, nothing caught me off guard quite like the tiny beverage's $5.27 price tag.

You are an amazing daughter. It brings me Great Joy to be able to help my family. Thank you for thanking me in this way. I do what most mother's in the same situation would do, I would hope to think. That post is almost as exciting as opening the Coach purse you gave me at Christmas. I had to put a little humor in this...I love you, my precious daughter, who is carrying my precious #5 grandchild, who I can't wait to hold and rock. Hugs and kisses...MomReplyDelete
What a sweet post. I feel the same way about my Mom. Ever since I've had kids, she has been there for me EVERY time I needed her, and even times when I insisted that I didn't need help. And you know what, she told me the same thing as your mom when I resisted: "I'm your mother; I want to do it. Don't you want to take care of your child?"ReplyDelete
Thank God for Moms!!!
P.S. Hope you are ALL feeling better!
All I can say is that you are so incredibly lucky. Your mom is awesome :-)ReplyDelete
You mom SOOOOO reminds me of my mom. Everytime I read what you write about her and what she writes about you I think of my own relationship with my ma. We are lucky ladies. All of us!!!! xo. Hope you are feeling better soon, love.ReplyDelete

|Probing Strain-Induced Changes in Electronic Structure with XMCD
The difference in the lattice constant of a substrate compared to a thin film deposited on top of it or a matrix compared to a nanocolumn embedded in it induces a lattice distortion—i.e., strain—in the nanostructure as compared to the bulk. The strong coupling of electronic properties with structural parameters in transition-metal oxides then allows tuning and ultimately controlling the physical characteristics of nanoarchitectures through strain. A research team from the UK and Berkeley has now demonstrated that soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) techniques are uniquely suited to provide detailed information about the impact of strain on the electronic properties of magnetic oxide nanoarchitectures.
The delicate balance between charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom in transition-metal oxides leads to unique phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance, as well as a remarkable diversity of charge-, spin-, and orbital-ordered phases. The rich phase diagrams are determined by the strong local interactions of electrons in transition-metal d orbitals. Subtle changes in d occupancy and overlap—and therefore phase transitions—can be induced by variations in temperature, by external fields, through doping, and through lattice distortions. In particular, the strong coupling of electronic properties with structural parameters allows us to control the physical characteristics of nanoarchitectures through strain at interfaces of layered and nanocomposite heterostructures.
A research team from Diamond Light Source in the UK and Berkeley have now shown, at ALS Beamline 4.0.2, that XMCD is uniquely suited to provide detailed information on the impact of strain on the electronic properties of magnetic oxide nanoarchitectures in an element-, valence-, and site-specific way.
In the case of an isotropic system magnetically saturated by an external field, the XMCD signal scales with the angle, θ, between the field and the x-ray beam as cosθ. Consequently, for a perpendicular orientation of x rays and field, i.e., θ = 90°, the XMCD signal vanishes completely. In systems with cubic anisotropy, the XMCD spectrum is slightly different along different lattice directions, but the XMCD signal along principal directions still disappears for θ = 90°. This is no longer the case for systems having axial anisotropy, such as in uniaxial, tetragonal, or trigonal symmetry of the lattice.
The research team determined the strain-induced changes in the electronic structure of ferrimagnetic spinel MnCr2O4 films by monitoring the angular dependence of the Mn and Cr L3,2 XMCD signals. The MnCr2O4 films were deposited on Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates, leading to approximately 1% compressively strained MnCr2O4 films. The experiments were performed using an eight-pole electromagnet installed at ALS Beamline 4.0.2. This device provides magnetic fields of up to 0.9 T in arbitrary directions, making possible this first study of the angular dependence of the XMCD signal in any system. Using the vector magnet, the researchers observed a pronounced angular dependence of the Mn2+ and Cr3+ L3,2 XMCD spectra as well as nonvanishing XMCD signals with distinct spectral features in transverse geometry, i.e., for perpendicular alignment of magnetic moment and x-ray beam (θ = 90°). The experimental XMCD results can be well reproduced using atomic multiplet calculations taking into account the reduced symmetry of the crystal lattice induced by the substrate.
It is of great practical interest for the strain engineering of novel materials—i.e. for tuning and controlling materials properties through lattice distortions—that a very small axial distortion completely determines the angular dependence of the XMCD. The angular dependence of XMCD is a general phenomenon that will occur in any strained or distorted lattice of magnetic transition-metal oxides. This opens the way to studying strain using soft x-ray spectroscopy and microscopy techniques on ultrafast time scales with nanometer spatial resolution.

Johnny N. and Ma. Teresa (Nena) S. CavazosEducators, Philanthropists & Owners, Cavazos Insurance Agency"Brownsville has been very good to us and we are firm believers in education, so we feel that we should give back to the community."
The Cavazos who were the first husband and wife selected to receive the award, met on the TSC campus in the 1950s. Both went on to earn bachelor degrees from San Antonio universities. A star on TSC's last football team, Johnny became a coach in area schools. Nena worked as a teacher before they launched their very successful insurance business in 1965.
The couple has used their success to give a hand up to those who follow behind them. Their creation of a $1 million scholarship endowment at UTB/TSC is helping kinesiology and elementary education majors pay for their education.

Guadalupe C. Quintanilla began life in a poor Mexican village without running water or electricity. Upon her immigration to Brownsville as a young girl, she was labeled "mentally retarded" because she didn't know enough English to test well. But, the woman who had worked in several family businesses since the age of five overcame the adversity to earn a doctorate degree, serve as a faculty member at the University of Houston and run her own company, Cross-Cultural Communication Center of Houston.
As the first Mexican American woman with a doctorate degree at the University of Houston, she designed the Mexican American studies and multicultural bilingual programs. She made sure that her three children continued their own educations; one is a physician and two earned doctor of law degrees.

The Latest from Agile PLM Customers
By Kerrie Foy on Mar 13, 2012
We've heard from several Agile PLM customers in the news lately, so in case you've missed these, here are a handpicked few to know:
Herbalife was the focus of the "Best Practices in Innovation" feature in the February 2012 edition of the Consumer Goods Technology publication. Herbalife is a consumer goods companies offering products for weight management, targeted nutrition, energy and fitness, and skin and hair care. The company achieved record sales in 2010, and continues to face growing product complexity as they delve into new markets and improve their offerings. Gary Swanson, Vice President of Corporate Quality, says, "PLM allows the company to operate unimpeded, 24 hours a day, seven days a week on product development and other activities." They use the Agile PLM solution, particularly the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics application, to improve decision support across the enterprise while tracking product changes with built-in capabilities, like audit train and sign-off history, which are requirements in a compliance and regulated industry. The CGT article can be found here.
Oracle is partnering with Kroger and Kalypso to help companies understand the changes and stay ahead of the curve on "Are You Ready for New Food Safety Regulatory Requirements?", a live webcast March 15, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. PDT. Fred Brown, a partner at Kalypso and an expert in regulatory compliance and quality issues facing private label retail and food manufacturers, will address how organizations can leverage product lifecycle management (PLM) to meet regulatory requirements. Bob Hosfeld, senior manager at Kroger Corporate Food Technology and Wes Frierson, director of PLM product strategy at Oracle, will join Brown as they discuss new regulations that challenge manufacturer compliance screening. Additionally, the webcast will highlight how PLM systems can respond to new regulatory requirements from the FDA, customers or consumer groups. To learn more and register, click here.
Oracle is also partnering with GoEngineer and M/A COM Technology Solutions in a live webcast on Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. PDT entitled, "Implement World-Class PLM Quickly and Effectively…Really!" Greg Katai, Sr. PLM Consultant at GoEngineer, will share the benefits of Agile PLM and how you can quickly and cost-effectively implement the solution for your business. Phil Stathas, Director of Information Technology with M/A COM Technology Solutions, will share their insight as a customer achieving significant value from the solution. To learn more and register, click here.
Atrium Medical Corporation shared their Agile PLM case study on our oracle.com customer showcase, entitled how Atrium Medical Corporation Reduces Engineering Change Order Cycle by 48% First Year after Deploying Product Lifecycle Management Solution. Atrium Medical Corporation is a leader in medical device technologies for interventional cardiology and radiology, chest trauma care and thoracic drainage, vascular surgery, and general surgery. The company, which was recently acquired by Getinge Group, produces more than 2.7 million sterile medical products annually and distributes them in more than 60 countries.
Atrium adheres to ISO 13485 quality standards, which define a comprehensive management system for medical device design and manufacturing. It is also committed to advancing discovery and driving product development and manufacturing innovation. To continue to meet these objectives as it grew rapidly, Atrium looked to accelerate and further standardize engineering change order (ECO) processes for its medical devices, as well as create a closed-loop corrective and preventive quality-event process to enable root cause analysis and drive improvement, moving forward.
Atrium worked with Oracle Insight, which assessed the company's product lifecycle management (PLM) processes and helped it define an effective IT platform strategy to optimize product collaboration and quality management. The medical device manufacturer deployed Oracle's Agile PLM solutions, including Agile Product Collaboration and Agile Product Quality Management, in 2010―standardizing processes, improving collaboration and communication, and accelerating ECOs and time to market. In the first year of deployment, Atrium reduced ECO cycle time by 48%, even as the number of change orders increased nearly 15%.
We're honored to have such successful customers willing to share their experiences with us all. If you're a customer interested in sharing your story too, please let us know!

The term is used when a person is about to tackle a task are it can simply be used in any conversation for no apparent reason. Usually Git R Done is used to state how you or someone feels about something in an excited type of phrase. Most people think that only rednecks and wannabe southerners use this phrase but thats completely untrue.

I've been saying it since the season started, that as much of a patchwork lineup the Wings are icing these days, logic would dictate that their weakness lies in the young call-ups from Grand Rapids. Unfortunately, the consistent issue has been the play of our healthy starters. The play of guys like Lashoff and Tatar has been super consistent compared to White, Quincey, and Cleary. In fact, today's game recap article from MLive says it all:
"Veteran mistakes negate youthful spark Red Wings received, as surging Ducks skate away with 5-2 win"
The Wings are injured as much as I've ever seen them, and the guys that they are missing have left some serious holes in both scoring and defense, but their biggest problem every night is not the guys they are missing, or their young replacements, but they guys that would be in the lineup for better or worse, injuries or no. Its hard to say we lost because we were missing Datsyuk, Franzen, and Bertuzzi, when the two scorers from last night were young call-ups, Tatar has more points than Miller, White, Eaves, and Emmerton, and Andersson has more points than Abdelkader, Cleary, and Quincey.
The positive, this team has some great young players in the system that are hungry and ready for a chance. The negative, this team is spending too much cap-space on scrubs like Quincey, White, and Cleary to give those kids a shot with a lineup healthy enough for them to make a difference.

on November 18, 2012 - 12:01 AM
As Congress resumes, in addition to avoiding a "fiscal cliff" that could throw our economy back into recession, it needs to approve government expenditures for the next fiscal year. Crucial among these is the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.
The tentatively approved Senate bill contains a key provision that's lacking in the House version, and the difference must be resolved in Conference Committee before the act can be passed by both chambers and signed by the president. That provision is the Shaheen Amendment, stated here in its entirety: "Section 1093(a) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting before the period at the end the following: 'or in a case in which the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest.' "
Some historical background will help. Thirty-plus years ago, Congress passed the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of federal funds for abortion, "except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus would be carried to term, or the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest." The applicable section of the Defense Act contained only the exception for "endangerment," with none for "rape and incest."
As a result, if a uniformed servicewoman, or wife or daughter, is impregnated through rape (and don't think it's all that rare, for there are thousands of cases of sexual assault annually in the armed services) the servicewoman – typically young, modestly paid and junior to her assailant – cannot get an abortion at government expense. She must seek civilian medical care – just try this somewhere like Afghanistan – at her own expense, while justifying her need for emergency leave. This might well require confronting her assailant, often someone under whose authority she must continue serving, plus paying for her own transportation. Such a state of affairs is terribly unjust. It is a bad law that needs fixing.
But it's far worse than unjust. It is ultimately a matter of military readiness. There are nearly 400,000 uniformed women in the armed services, concentrated in such technical fields as intelligence, cyber-communications, security analysis and sophisticated equipment maintenance. Training in these fields can require a year or more before the individual is effective, at a cost often exceeding $100,000. When a servicewoman so expensively trained and experienced reaches the end of her contracted tour (four to six years for the most intricate of these high-tech specialties), she possesses skills greatly in demand by civilian industry. If she, or one of her female colleagues, has been shabbily treated, she can (and will) easily find civilian employment. This situation is going on now, in alarming numbers. It is a national security problem that cries out for solution.
Why would any representative oppose something as sensible as the Shaheen Amendment? After all, it simply grants the rights allowed all other government employees to uniformed servicewomen. The answer, of course, lies in the polarization of American politics, particularly among some who regard any rationalization of current law as a "slippery slope" toward unrestricted abortion. Many conservatives in Congress would be inclined to compromise, but are fearful of being politically attacked from the far right.
One can hope that in this lame-duck session, with campaign pressures eased and re-election two years in the offing, that those who favor the Shaheen Amendment will be able to bring the more reasonable of their conservative colleagues around. After all, most of those colleagues already acknowledge the rationale of the Hyde Amendment, and will recognize that this new measure honors a conservative tradition of strong support for national security.

WAILUKU - Mayor Alan Arakawa apologized Friday for the "mistake" his administration made when it did not formally amend the county budget to show that certain funds would be used to demolish the Old Wailuku Post Office earlier this year.
"As the mayor, I take full responsibility for this situation. We were so intent on meeting with council members personally and getting their individual approval that we forgot some of the more formal aspects of the process," Arakawa said during a news conference in the mayor's lounge at the Kalana O Maui building. "Rest assured that we are taking steps to make sure not to repeat this mistake."
Arakawa's personal apology comes a week before the Maui County Council may decide to go forward with a formal investigation. Some council members contend that Arakawa may have violated the Maui County Charter by using around $1.5 million budgeted for "rehabilitation" of the building and instead using it to demolish the old post office and plan for the county's Wailuku campus expansion. The resolution calling for an investigation will be heard Friday.

Mayor Alan Arakawa apologizes Friday over the "mistake" of not formally seeking a budget amendment to provide for demolition of the Old Wailuku Post Office.
County of Maui / RYAN PIROS photo
County Council Members Mike White and Riki Hokama have introduced different resolutions to investigate the matter. Hokama's resolution would have a council committee formally investigate, and it will be heard by the full council next week.
White and Hokama did not attend Friday's news conference and did not respond to requests for comment.
Council Vice Chairman Bob Carroll and Council Member Don Couch attended the conference. Aides for some of the other council members, including White, were present.
After the event, Couch said that he was glad to hear Arakawa "echo" the apology given earlier to the council by Managing Director Keith Regan.
Couch said he could not say Friday whether he would be voting for a formal investigation into the matter, but he hoped some questions can be answered next week by the administration to help determine his vote.
Several other council members who did not attend the conference declined comment through council staff. The mayor's administration said all council members were given a copy of his remarks.
On Friday afternoon, a timeline of events regarding the Old Wailuku Post Office matter was posted on the council's blog, which can be found at www.mauicounty.gov/Blog.aspx?IID=77#item.
Although he was apologizing for the budget process mistake, Arakawa said after the news conference that he was not trying to halt any possible investigation.
"The council should go through whatever they feel comfortable with. If they want to do an investigation, they can do an investigation. That's fine. I don't have any qualms," Arakawa said.
He noted that his administration has researched the matter and has given council members all the detailed information regarding the project as well as what was discussed at council meetings.
"We're not worried that the investigation is going to uncover anything devious," Arakawa said. "I do not think anybody believes were trying to do anything devious. The reality is everything was pretty much public. The demolition of the building was right next door. We told them countless times what we were trying to do."
But White's office has previously said that council members were not aware of the funding source for the demolition until Feb. 1, which was after the demolition had started.
According to documents produced by Arakawa's office and shared with council members earlier this month, the demolition project was discussed among council members who were also notified during a council meeting when request for proposals were being sought for the demolition project.
Some council members also said they were well aware of the demolition project, but they just didn't question where the funding came from. The more than 200 pages of documents were shared with news media and with interested members of the public.
During his news conference, Arakawa said that he hoped the County Council could help the administration and the community by moving forward with the Kalana O Maui expansion project.
One aspect of the expansion is constructing a new county office building on the old post office site, which is temporarily being used as a parking lot for county employees.
Arakawa reiterated that the county is paying $150,000 in rent a month for office space for various departments. He said a delay in the expansion project would mean more rental costs for taxpayers.
To move the project forward, Arakawa noted he has already submitted budget amendments to the County Council.
The first amendment was taken up at a special full council meeting June 19. Then, the administration asked council members to skip the committee review process and amend the fiscal 2013 budget to explicitly call for the demolition of the old post office.
But council members voted 5-4 against bypassing the council's committee review, and the measure was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee.
Arakawa said the administration submitted Friday two additional budget amendments to address the post office issue.
The first amendment would clarify the source of funding for the building demolition. The second would cover the costs of the master planning work for the Kalana O Maui expansion and the design of the master plan's first phase.
To avoid a similar situation in the future, Arakawa said he has instructed his staff that all future communication between the administration and the council must be documented.
"The record leading up to each decision must be clear and concise in order to minimize misunderstandings," he said.
Arakawa said he would have dealt with the matter personally sooner, but he was attending a U.S. Conference of Mayors and was unable to appear before the council himself. Last month, Regan apologized for the administration.
"Again, I am sorry for the wasted time that this miscommunication has cost all of us. To the public I ask for your patience and to the council, I ask for your understanding," Arakawa said.
He also noted that the administration appreciates the support so far from Council Chairwoman Gladys Baisa, Carroll, Couch and Council Member Mike Victorino.
Those four council members were in favor of the full council considering a proposed budget amendment for the building's demolition on June 19. The council's majority voted for a committee review of the matter.

CHARLES TOWN - The need for diversity and an ability to act quickly on critical issues such as the budget were two factors discussed in depth Monday night by Jefferson County Board of Education members, before they ultimately chose Larry Togans - by a 3-1 vote - to succeed Pete Dougherty, who resigned after being appointed sheriff.
Even after meeting for 45 minutes in executive session, board members were again publicly deadlocked as Gary Kable and Mariland Lee supported Togans, but Scott Sudduth and Mark Osbourn favored Alan Sturm - the same situation that prevented a decision being made at the BOE's March 29 meeting.
But in the end, after questioning who would make the appointment if local members were unable to reach consensus and how long that would take, Sudduth also voted for Togans.

Jefferson County NAACP members George Rutherford, left, and James Tolbert were pleased with Larry Togans' appointment to the Jefferson County Board of Education since they advocated the need for diversity among its members.
Board attorney Amy Brown said the state superintendent would be responsible if no local decision were forthcoming in the required 45 days.
That mattered, according to Sudduth, since board members faced an April 13 deadline and must also complete the new budget by the end of May.
"At the end of the day, that was a major concern for me because I feel like we are given this responsibility and we need to act on it. I was also concerned about how long it would take if it went to the state because we have some big issues to decide," he said following the meeting.
The decision brought applause from audience members - including Jefferson County NAACP representatives, some of whom spoke in favor of Togans.
Lee, who was a teacher while Togans previously served on the board, said he will be a hard working member who will take his job seriously.
"The diversity he can bring to our system, even if it is only for a year, is a perspective we've not had," Lee said before the deciding vote was taken.
Osbourn, speaking after the meeting, said he is not upset with the vote's outcome because he's known Togans and his wife for several years.
"I do think he will be a quality person on the board. I differed on this issue, but I am certain we can all come in here and work to do our best for the Jefferson County school system," Osbourn said.
However, there was also support for the third interested candidate, Laurie Ogden, who attended the meeting. Neither Sturm nor Togans were present.
Debbie Royalty read a letter from the League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, explaining that the group had passed a resolution on April 2 "urging the school board to appoint the person who polled the next largest number of votes in the general election to the vacant seat."
Referring to Ogden without specifically naming her, the group's letter also noted that she had "came within 90 votes of getting on the board in the 2010 election, and missed getting a seat in the 2012 election by 388 votes (with a much larger turnout.)"
Appointing the next highest vote-getter would be "consistent with the preference of a majority of voters." It also said this runner up has "demonstrated a sustained interest in the school board and enjoys a loyal following among the voters."
Speaking after the meeting, Ogden said she understood the need for a decision, but added, "I still would have liked to have seen my name come up for nomination - to see them say yea or nay. However, it is good that we have diversity on the board. I actually brought up in the 2010 debate that the board did not reflect a diverse population."

Another episode, another rant. But this time we decided to be different. Instead of three guys who have never practiced true photojournalism before, we brought in one of our regular listeners, Grammar Nazi! (a.k.a. Steven). Steven, or Mr. Nazi if you prefer to be formal like Tony, not only has been teaching photojournalism at the university level for a really long time (how long? listen to the damn show and find out!) but has also worked as a journalist and photojournalist.
Can you believe it? We actually got someone with real credentials to talk about it. And (to quote my current favorite show, Archer) "Holy shit balls!" This guy is good and knows what the hell he is talking about. So, yeah, maybe we turned the clock back a bit and the show is a bit NPR-ish but when you hear what Steven has to say, you'll know why all three of us are super-excited about this episode.
Is Photojournalism Dead?
That's the obvious question, isn't it? All three of the guys were almost ready to declare professional photojournalism as a dead vocation. Grammar Nazi assures us that it isn't. It's just found in different places these days. He points out that, while large papers like New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are laying far more people off than they are hiring, they are also completely ignoring smaller towns and cities with their coverage. So, to answer Rob's question about what career path awaits a graduating journalist, Steven paraphrases the famous line, "go small, young man!"
Our Featured Artists
Again… holy shit balls! If you listened to episode 16 (you did listen, right?) you heard Rick go off like a Roman Candle about flower photography. Don't worry, he still despises it in most incarnations (in-carnations… see what I did there?) but he also chose to pay homage to Nancy Rotenberg, a recently deceased photographer who worked with floral subjects a lot. And did so in a way that Rick found inspiring.
Rob has discovered the beautiful sumi-e work of Yolanda Mayhall. Ms. Mayhall is an American artist who learned the traditional sumi-e art when she lived in Japan with her husband, another artist who died in 2005 (welcome to the dead artists' episode). As you've been listening to the show and learning about Rob's affinity for simple design and aesthetics, you will immediately know why he is drawn to her work.
Again, a huge thank you to Steven the Grammar Nazi for his insight, humor, and time in sharing with us the past, present, and future of photojournalism. You can follow Steven on Twitter @thegrammarnazi or read his blog at http://www.stevenchappell.com/

TRUCKEE, Calif. - After several years of discussion, surveys and public input, plans for a new aquatic center within the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District are moving forward - despite a financial roadbump.The project, which was estimated to cost $7.24 million, will cost an additional $333,000 due to fees from various public entities in the community, such as the town of Truckee, Truckee Fire Protection District and Truckee Sanitary District not being waived as originally budgeted."What makes me nervous is we haven't put a shovel in the ground, and we're already over budget," said TDRPD board chair Kristin York at the directors' meeting last Thursday.Mark Wilson, architect for the project and owner of Utah-based Innovate Architecture/Mark Wilson Architects, said that it was "unique" oversight, since those "soft cost" fees, based on his prior job experiences, are generally waived for municipal projects or quasi-government agencies.To make up for the unaccounted shortfall, proposed construction materials for the aquatic center will be looked at again with an eye toward reducing costs, he said. "Now that money is a larger factor than aesthetics ... we'll look at a different material in a place or two to try and see if we can find out the best solution to this problem," Wilson said. "We can sort through this."In related action, the TDRPD board approved SCO Planning & Engineering, Inc.'s proposal for $17,500 to prepare and process environmental documentation and a use permit for approval of an aquatic center addition at the Community Recreation Center site. SCO, based in Grass Valley, has a Truckee office.The board also directed staff to bid the main contract to a general contractor, but to separate various finishing touches so the district can bid them separately."What we're trying to do is generate as much local work as we possibly can," said Steve Randall, district general manager.Some of those projects would be landscaping for $18,000, interior and exterior painting for $92,000, and cabinets and countertops for $34,000, among others, totaling nearly $450,000 in potential local work, Randall said."We appreciate efforts to find ways to attract the local contractors," said Pat Davison, executive director of the Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe. "Not only are you keeping the money local, but you have a workforce that knows the conditions, the rules and regulations."Bids for both project areas will likely go out in February or March 2014, Randall said in a follow-up interview.Construction is targeted to start in spring 2014, Wilson said, and will take between 10 months and a year to complete. The aquatic center is expected to open in spring or summer 2015, Randall said in a follow-up interview.When complete, the center will feature an eight-lane, 25-yard competition pool and a warm water pool with a lazy river for therapy purposes and play features for children, along with locker rooms and bathroom facilities.Performing arts projectIn January, the TDRPD board unanimously approved allocating $200,000 to a future performing arts project.To help determine how that money will be used, director Janet Brady and vice chair Erin Casey were appointed to sit on a board committee for the performing arts project that will seek public input.Truckee resident Michael Rogers backs using the funds to remodel the Community Arts Center, located at 10046 Church St. in Truckee."What I'm advocating for is a youth theater and arts academy that can help our young people have a place that they can come and rehearse plays and do arts and diversify from how concentrated we are in athletics," he said at last Thursday's meeting. "The arts reach something that athletics don't, especially for introverted kids. I think it's a really, really unique opportunity, and I think you as a board can - in essence - be patrons of that."
