quote: So what? Apple is still driving down software prices and has established a new inexpensive model for phone and tablet apps and that is a kick in the nuts for companies that only essentially make money from software, such as Microsoft. In order to keep Office the industry standard it has been in the past Microsoft has to either sell an iOS version (in which case it will have to enter the low price ecosystem of iOS apps with a low price version of Office) or lower it's OS and Office pricing norms for the tablet version of Windows 8 so that OEMs manage to set a competitive price for Windows 8 tablets and thus sell so many that it can compete with iPad sales. Either way Microsoft's old software pricing system, the system that underpins it's core revenue streams, is fucked. Nice one Apple.

Representatives from Valley Health Care Inc. offered the company's services to the Randolph County Board of Education.
Mike Hinchman, CEO of Valley Health Care, Inc., addressed members of the board Monday, offering to set up in-school clinics at five locations, should the board need their services.
"We have two locations, and are very close to the schools," Hinchman said. "Our Elkins office is two houses down from Third Ward Elementary and our Mill Creek office is beside of George Ward Elementary and Tygarts Valley Middle/High School. Elkins Middle School is less than half a mile from the Elkins office, while Elkins High School is about two miles from the Elkins site."

Valley Health Care Inc. CEO Mike Hinchman speaks with Randolph County Board of Education members Monday, offering the clinic's services for staffing in-school health clinics if needed.
Hinchman said Valley Health Care was established in 1991, and between the two offices, has 24,000 patient encounters per year. He said a tremendous amount of Randolph County students are patients of Valley Health Care, and the clinic sponsors health fairs in the schools and provides free sports clinics each year.
"We have a natural interest in the community and just wanted board members to know if they need our services, we would be willing to collaborate with them," Hinchman said. "But we want to be sure the collaboration is school board driven. We would be willing to help if that is what the board wants."
Hinchman said such an arrangement would offer students "seamless continuity" because many of the students are already patients, and because Valley Health Care Inc. is already present in the county.
Community Care of West Virginia spoke with the Randolph County Board of Education members Feb. 4 about providing at least four school-based health clinics in Randolph County Schools. During the group's parent informational meeting Feb. 21 at Tygarts Valley High School, guidance counselor Mark Allen publicly asked why the local clinic in Mill Creek - Valley Health Care Inc. - could not come into the school and offer services.

WASHINGTON – Officials at the Buffalo VA Medical Center don't think they received the warnings issued by two federal agencies about the dangers of reusing insulin pens on different patients, a hospital spokeswoman said Friday.
Meanwhile, Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence, labeled the hospital's ignorance of the warnings "almost incomprehensible." He also said he had won a commitment from the House Committee on Veterans Affairs to hold a hearing on the possible reuse of those insulin pens at the Buffalo hospital, which may have exposed 716 veterans to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
While the Food and Drug Administration issued an alert about reusing the insulin pens in March 2009, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put out its own warning on the issue in January 2012, "we do not have a record of receiving the FDA alert or clinical reminder," said Evangeline Conley, the hospital spokeswoman. The hospital acknowledged last week that through improper labeling, it could have reused those insulin delivery devices between Oct. 19, 2010, and last Nov. 1. Patients who may have been exposed to viruses as a result are being invited in for testing.
"We are continuing our investigation as to why the prescribed protocol was not followed," Conley said. "Once this was discovered, immediate actions were taken to correct the procedure for the insulin pens, which are no longer used for inpatients."
To eliminate the risk that the insulin pens might be reused, the hospital has switched to using individually labeled vials, syringes and needles to deliver insulin to diabetic patients, Conley added.
Nevertheless, members of Congress were shocked not only that proper procedures were not followed, but that the VA hospital was blind to the government warnings about reusing insulin pens.
"As health care providers, the Buffalo VA Medical Center, like all medical providers, has an obligation to remain continually informed about proper medical procedures and pharmaceutical precautions," said Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo.
Meanwhile, Collins shared his concerns with Rep. Jeff Miller, the Florida Republican who heads the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.
"I am deeply concerned that the Department of Veterans Affairs disregarded this FDA warning," Collins wrote to Miller. "This report, along with a series of other troubling revelations over the past week, raise serious concerns about the practices in place at not only the Veterans Medical Center in Buffalo, but potentially at other veterans health facilities throughout the nation."
Collins said he also spoke to Miller and won a commitment for an oversight hearing where lawmakers will study all aspects of the mix-up at the Buffalo hospital as well as the practices at other VA hospitals.
"I suppose it's going to reveal a rather embarrassing situation for the VA," Collins said. "I suspect you are going to see shortcomings that you can't explain away."

Each morning, dozens of students as young as 5 from subdivisions in the southern and southeastern corners of the Lancaster Central School District pile onto buses for the ride to the John A. Sciole Elementary School in the district's northwestern corner.
The young pupils spend 45 minutes or more on the bus each morning and again in the afternoon, parents say. But on their trips, the youngsters pass two elementary schools in southern Lancaster to get to Sciole.
The district must bus some children a considerable distance to Sciole and its other three elementary schools because Lancaster faces a fundamental problem: Its two largest schools are in the northern part of the town, but most of the elementary-age students live in newer subdivisions in the south.
Lancaster isn't the only local district wrestling with school boundaries, declining enrollment or long bus rides for pupils. Any attempt to address these issues stirs up parental emotions.
The Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda School District recently closed Jefferson Elementary School and has hired a consultant to study further consolidation in a district whose student population is shrinking.
And nearly 300 people came out for a discussion of West Seneca's plan, approved last month, to convert that district's East Elementary School into a revamped East Middle School.
"Across Western New York, I think all districts are experiencing declining enrollment," West Seneca Superintendent Mark J. Crawford said. "We need to face it, given the financial challenges such as significant reductions in state aid."
West Seneca took on the challenge of closing an elementary school in response to budget constraints and a decline in the district's population, which went from more than 9,000 students in the 1990s to 6,800 today even though the district still has seven elementary schools.
At Northwood Elementary School, where Crawford served as principal in the 1990s, enrollment has declined from around 650 then to a little more than 500 today, he said.
Following a passionate debate, the district closed East Elementary School because it shares a campus with East Middle School, allowing the district to expand the number of grades served by the middle school.
The district's population is larger in the western part of town, but the district doesn't have boundary or busing problems because four of its seven – soon to be six – elementary schools are in the west, Crawford said.
Clarence bus times
In the Clarence School District, the students who have the longest bus ride to the district's four elementary schools live along Tonawanda Creek, the northern border of the district, or in the section of Newstead within the Clarence district.
The district prefers that students not ride longer than 45 minutes on a bus, but some may ride a little longer, said Rick Mancuso, the district's business administrator.
If he could magically move an elementary school, Mancuso said, he would shift Sheridan Hill, on Boncrest Drive East, a mile or so to the north.
"Other than that, everything's working well," he said.
And the Orchard Park School District in 2007 redrew the boundaries for its four elementary schools because three of the schools were at, or over, preferred capacity; only Windom was under.
"The structure of the population got to the point where we needed to balance our schools to maintain class sizes," said Al McClymonds, president of the Orchard Park School Board, recalling an inclusive decision-making process and packed board meetings.
The Lancaster district has faced this situation before, when it closed Central Avenue Elementary School in 2010. That school was centrally located in the district, but was the smallest of the five elementary schools, officials said.
After that closing, the district tweaked elementary school boundaries that had been in effect since 2002.
The district was left with two elementary schools a mile apart from each other in the north – Sciole, on Alys Drive East in Depew, and Hillview, on Pleasant View Drive in Lancaster – and two located 2½ miles apart in the south – Court Street and Como Park, on the streets of the same names.
Lancaster growth
Sciole and Hillview each can accommodate 75 to 90 more students than the smaller schools in the south. The elementary schools serve kindergarten through third grade, while William Street School serves fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
The four elementary schools were built between 1947 and 1964, when the Village of Lancaster was the densely populated part of town, said Superintendent Edward J. Myszka, who graduated from Lancaster schools.
The growth in the district in the last 20 years came in the new subdivisions in the south and southeast sections of the town, off Aurora Street, Lake Avenue and Bowen Road.
"The south, prior to that, was predominantly vacant land," Myszka said.
The district a decade ago worked out a map that has Hillview covering the largest geographic area, mainly the northeastern part of the town. Como Park draws from a barbell-shaped district in the southwestern part of the district, and Court Street draws from a largely contiguous district located east of the Como Park district.
Sciole's 379 students, however, come from three areas: 213 from the northwest corner of the district, 54 from a small pocket in the southern part of town and 112 from the larger piece in the far southeastern corner.
"The big problem, the reason this all came about, was the development in Lancaster. We were building, building, building, and nobody took into consideration where the building was happening," School Board Vice President Marie MacKay said.
Parents say the odd configuration of the district can mean long bus rides for their children.
70-minute bus ride
Lynn Zamrok, co-president of the Sciole Parent-Teacher Organization, has a son in third grade at Sciole and a daughter in fifth grade at William Street who spent four years at Sciole. Her son can spend 45 minutes on the bus, each way. Next year he will join his sister in the much shorter ride to William Street School.
"I count the days now," said Zamrok, whose family lives on Fox Trace. She said she recently joked with the Sciole principal, "I bet you, once I'm gone, they're going to redistrict."
Nicole Spaulding and her family live in the Country Club Estates development, leaving her son, a first-grader, with an "absolutely crazy" bus ride of 55 to 70 minutes to Hillview.
Both Zamrok and Spaulding say they love the Lancaster schools and recognize the complexity of the problem. As a short-term fix, they suggested not waiting until the buses are full and instead sending the buses on to their schools once they are half-full.
District officials, however, say this isn't realistic because of the extra cost involved in using more buses and hiring more drivers.
School administrators say the general movement of students from south to north is the only way to make the numbers work.
At last week's School Board meeting, Michael J. Vallely, the assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and pupil services, showed a map of the current district boundaries with colored dots representing students.
"Those particular boundaries are not perfect, not exactly commonsensical, but when we closed Central Avenue, it all works, and all the little dots there fit into the buildings in the appropriate ways," he said.
2 redistricting options
The district reviews its boundaries each year, and as part of the review, presented two redistricting options to take the temperature of the School Board.
Based on the lukewarm reaction from the board, district officials say they won't change elementary-school boundaries this year.
But they will watch the population trends in the district, where the classes entering elementary school now are smaller than the classes in the high school. In response, the district laid off three elementary-school teachers last year and is proposing to lay off two more this year.
"I think to address the inconvenience issues with some people, the options we see would create a bigger problem," board President Kenneth Graber said. "We'd like to resolve it, but there doesn't seem to be a better way."

IT Consumerization in Education: Top Marks for Tablets
Mobile computing has transformed our lives, both at work and at home. Most young people now see their laptop PC or tablet as an essential part of their educational toolkit, and they expect their teachers to use these technologies too. The City of Liverpool College is one of the first educational institutions in the UK to equip its entire teaching staff with Microsoft Windows* 8 tablets in order to help them meet this expectation while delivering more productive and inspirational instruction. The devices have transformed teaching and assessment, for example enabling teachers to film student presentations and boost the grades of those who struggle with written work.
Multiple devices: The college needed to equip lecturers with Microsoft Windows-based tablet PCs that supported all core applications and programs as well as IT network and support requirements
• Complex processes: It needed to enable staff to easily and quickly access core systems from the classroom, while keeping fleet management hassle-free
• Learning barriers: Teachers needed IT resources that would support and enhance, rather than hinder, teaching and learning activities
• The right tablets: Lenovo Tablet 2* devices powered by Intel® Atom™ processors and running Microsoft Windows 8 Pro were purchased for 600 lecturers
• Windows platform: Microsoft Windows 8 Pro operating system enables enhanced security and easy fleet management, using the new fluid-touch interface
• Ongoing training: Lunchbyte sessions inspire all lecturers to drive value from the college's tablet investment by learning how to use technology in the classroom themselves
• Efficient teachers: Lecturers save time with in-class access to the student attendance tracking system and the ability to edit documents on their mobile devices
• Interactive teaching: Teachers are no longer tied to desktop PCs within the classroom, but can interact directly with student

ATTICA - The Seneca East Board of Education has completed their search for a new superintendent.
The current superintendent, Micheal Wank, has accepted the position of superintendent at Carey Exempted Village School District. Several candidates to replace Wank were interviewed Wednesday and Thursday last week. Two of the candidates were selected for a second interview, which took place earlier this week.
In a special board meeting held Monday night, Laura Kagy accepted the position of superintendent of Seneca East Schools. Initially, Kagy is to assume the role of assistant superintendent today and transition to superintendent Sept. 1.
"I am very happy to be going to Seneca East, it's like going home," Kagy said in a phone interview after the meeting. "I live near there and my children attend school there. It's an honor to be asked to be superintendent."
Kagy comes to Seneca East from Clyde-Green Springs Village School District, where she was the interim superintendent.

CLAYSBURG - The pitchers took center stage as Williamsburg hadn't faced Claysburg-Kimmel ace Kiersten Coho in their two previous meetings this year.
On the flip side, the Lady Bulldogs had trouble with the slower-pitching Alyssa Weise.
It was the eighth-seeded Lady Blue Pirates that got to Coho and before top-seeded C-K figured out Weise.

Claysburg's Madison?Ickes (right) gets a hug from teammate Kala Brumbaugh after belting a grand slam in Monday's win.
However, the Bulldogs, behind a grand slam from Madison Ickes, erupted for seven runs in the fourth inning as they finally cracked Weise to take control in an 11-3 District 6 Class A quarterfinal victory at home on Monday afternoon.
"You have to generate your own power against slower pitches," Claysburg-Kimmel coach Mike Barbarini said. "Madison created her own power and hit that one down the line, and Courtlin hit that triple. We started to get things going and we started relaxing."
"This is the first we've seen Coho this year," Williamsburg coach Kim Siva said. "I was proud that they were hitting off of her. They did very well hitting off her."
Trailing 3-1, Coho got things rolling with one out with a single to left-center. Hannah Claycomb reached on an error by second baseman Camryn Bookhammer, and then advanced to second as pinch runner Rachel Walter came around to score.
Weise walked Abby Kulick and Brooke Ritchey to load the bases. Ickes drilled Weise's pitch down the left field line and rounded the bases for the blast that put her team on top for good, 6-3.
"We don't really do a good job hitting slower pitchers," Ickes said. "We practiced really hard on that all week. I just knew I had to do something to get the team going. I knew I had to make a play."
Mallory Cox knocked in Kala Brumbaugh on a fielder's choice. Catcher Courtlin Holland drilled a triple down the same left field line then courtesy runner Christina Wannyn crossed the plate on a wild pitch to score the last run of the inning.
C-K added three runs the next inning to set the final.
"They [Claysburg] knew they could come back against them. They just needed to relax and play," Barbarini said. "They came out nervous. We had a key injury at first [Mercedeze LeMaster] which hurt us as far as offense goes, but the other girls picked us up and hit the ball at key times."
WHS settled in and rocked Coho for three runs in the second as Carly England's double drove in Alyssa Detwiler, then scored as Katie Kennedy was thrown out at first.
Haley Rhule smacked an RBI single to drive in England for the Lady Blue Pirates' final run.
"They were excited. That's probably the most excited I've seen them all season," Siva said. "They were up and they knew what they were doing. We just wanted to play our best games."
Coho settled down and struck out six while scattering just four hits and walking one from the third inning on.
"Live it's a lot different [hitting against a slower pitcher]," Barbarini said. "We practice all year for the better pitchers and then we come up against slower pitches, and we can't hit them, we can't adjust."

Vellum Scabbard Sheath (detail 8)
London, England
about 1781
Museum no. M.39.2-1960
A vellum scabbard for a small presentation sword, circa 1781. It is signed by the maker James Sharpnell, London.
The underside of the hilt is inscribed with the words 'Presented to L.Colonel - James Hartley in testimony of his brave & gallant by the honourable East India Company 1779'.
The vellum is worked and stitched over a layer of felted wool. It is likely that it also has a wooden core, although there is insufficient access to confirm this. There is some damage to the felt, visible at the collar end. Areas of structural damage and previous adhesive treatments are also evident. It would have been damaging to remove this adhesive as it is impregnated into the felted wool fibres, therefore some of the more vulnerable tears were secured with an adhesive treatment. The vellum was cleaned.

So at 20 I was an idiot & got myself pregnant by a "friend with benefits". We barely knew each other. Not in the we just met sense. But our "friendship" was founded on partying together & sex. He gets myself & another girl pregnant at the same time. They stayed together & we managed to coparent.
My son was born in 2007. I was dirt poor. I mean POOR. Did a stint in a homeless shelter. Worked 2 part time min wage jobs but still couldn't really provide. BD helped where he could. He was always around & not a deadbeat. But I only got $109 in CS., So I decicded to join the army when DS was 12 months.
I left for 8 months for basic training & combat medic training. Met DH at this time too. Finished training, DH went back to CA where he's from (& later got stationed in CA) & me back to MN. Shared custody w/ BD. Everything was going pretty good. Went to school, got a degree. Got engaged.
Things were great on a personal level during this time. Me & BD got along. But financially struggled. I was madly in love with DH. Hes amazing. Moving to MN wasn't an option for DH for several reasons. The 2 main ones 1. military 2. His kids from previous marriage are in CA. (thats an awful & messy situation) Plus together itd be easier to give ds a stable life. Better home in a decent neighborhood, food,.ect.
Anyhoo: Me & BD agree to do a 6 month agreement with DS. 6 month in Ca, 6 in MN. Being niave & thinking we would remain civil & out of court, I agree.
He spent 6 month here & now has been with BD. Things turned for the worse now next month we go to court for custody.He also won't let me see DS
There's a good chance I'll lose. I've already talked to a laywer & its an uphill battle.
If I lose my family is going to be ripped apart. DH can't move to MN & I can't be away from DS anymore. I'm miserable. I can barely function.
But if I moved to MN, i'd be taking my 4 month old LO from DH & he's a great dad & husband. He doesn't deserve that. Nor does LO.
But I need my son.
I'm so terrified. I cant sleep. I cant function. I cry all the time. I miss my son so badly.

The new Volvo FH
The new Volvo FMX
The new Volvo FM
The new Volvo FE
Driving I-Shift is a real pleasure. Without the clutch pedal, you can safely sit back and concentrate on the other two. I-Shift uses its built-in intelligence to quickly and automatically choose the right gear at all times. And the software provides shifting skills that are impossible for even the best of drivers to match. Still, if you want to get more involved, you can. The buttons on the shift selector allows you to step in and shift gear manually.
I-Shift is designed to save fuel. First of all, the internal energy losses are low – actually lower than on manual gearboxes. But it's the electronics that really make the difference. When driving in Economy mode, every gearchange is timed precisely, to let the engine work at its most efficient rpm range.
It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the hallmark of modern transmissions, hides an old-school unsynchronised manual gearbox. (Hence the compact design and low internal losses.) But of course there's much more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in the intelligent electronic control unit. It's responsible for controlling the pneumatic system that handles the clutch and shifts. By constantly receiving information about vehicle speed, acceleration, weight, road grade, torque demand and more, it can carry out every shift with extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which in turn adjusts revs and engine brake effect for fast and comfortable shifting.

This thesis focuses on the design of on-chip communication networks and methods for benchmarking them. Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm seeks to achieve greater design productivity and performance in large integrated circuits. Such systems include heterogeneous set of components that have different requirements for communication. This thesis presents simulation-based evaluation methods for NoCs. In addition, several detailed guidelines are given in order to promote disciplined NoC benchmarking. Discussion starts with thorough surveys of 60 existing NoCs and over 40 evaluation studies. The presented benchmarking methodology relies on abstract workload models based on task graphs. They are executed with a Transaction Generator (TG) that sends and receives data to/from the benchmarked NoC and collects statistics. TG was used in several configurations and was essential part for completing this work. The error in time estimates was mostly below 10% whereas the speedup against cycleaccurate HW/SW co-simulation was over 200x. Heterogeneous IP Block Interconnection (HIBI) was designed to obtain a topologyindependent, scalable, and still high-performance network for integrating intellectual property blocks. Six other NoCs were implemented for reference and benchmarked with HIBI in various configurations and using multiple workloads. Over 30 published implementation results were gathered. Furthermore, several FPGA prototypes were implemented and they confirmed the utility of HIBI in multiprocessor environment. In general, HIBI and 2-D mesh performed better than others in the presented cases considering the trade-off between area and throughput. The main goals of the work were met. The presented methodology along with TG has been adopted by an OCP-IP workgroup that is seeking to standardize NoC benchmarking methods.

The Royal Rumble pay-per-view usually ushers in The Road to Wrestlemania, but last weeks Monday Night Raw featured a sneak preview with verbal salvos from two of WWEs biggest stars.
The Rock and C.M. Punk, who will meet for the WWE heavyweight title at the Rumble on Jan. 27, were both at the top of their game as they engaged in an entertaining exchange of barbs and insults.
Scores of fans later offered varying opinions as to who won the war of words, but unlike The Rocks verbal battles with John Cena leading up to last years Wrestlemania, this promo battle is designed for both stars to simply shine in traditional babyface-heel roles and build toward their match at the Rumble.
And, not surprisingly, two of the best promo men in sports entertainment delivered the goods.
What was surprising, however, was the strong reaction of the wrestling community over a comment Punk made about one of the biggest stars in the companys history but one who hasnt stepped inside a WWE ring in more than 25 years.
To many longtime WWE (WWF and WWWF back then) fans, the name Bruno Sammartino carries a cache that few in the wrestling profession can match. He was the companys top star and champion for a stretch that began in the early 60s and extended into the late 70s.
It was a different business then, for sure, but Sammartino was the man who not only successfully defended the companys title for an amazing 7 1/2-year run, but was an Italian-born ethnic hero who was catapulted to the status of icon in a booming Northeastern market that was tailor-made for such a rags-to-riches story.
He was that markets Babe Ruth, Popeye the Sailor Man and Mighty Mouse all wrapped into one.
Fact is that Bruno really was and still is that hero to the thousands of fans who still speak his name in reverent tones.
So when current WWE champ Punk took a dig at Bruno last week on live TV, mentioning that Sammartino only wrestled once a month at Madison Square Garden, the large legion of Bruno followers quite naturally came out in droves.
A number of readers were quick to chime in with varied opinions on the controversy.
Some important points, though, need to be made.
First off, this is pro wrestling, where one of the main objectives if youre a bad guy is to draw heat. And what better way than to insult a living legend? Punks a great heel who delivers pipe bomb promos, Paul Heymans a great manager who knows how to attract attention, and that mission was accomplished.
Its also a fact that for years Sammartino, now 77, has steadfastly refused WWEs standing offer to be inducted into its Hall of Fame. Hes not shy about his disdain for the company and calls Vince McMahons multimillion-dollar industry a circus.
So it might be assumed that Punks words came not from himself, but indirectly from McMahon, who even still today would like nothing better than to woo Bruno into his hall.
Some have speculated that the unthinkable may yet occur that Bruno, who holds the distinction of headlining Madison Square Garden more than 200 times, has finally relented and agreed to be inducted this year. The Hall of Fame ceremony, by the way, will be held at the hallowed MSG, no better venue to host a WWE legends induction.
More probable, however, is that Sammartinos message has finally sunk into the companys collective brain trust, and another message was sent via Punk.
Pro wrestling is about controversy and, judging by the volume of responses, this one struck a nerve.
Pro wrestling great Chavo Guerrero Sr. summed it up with an old show business maxim.
Like my father Gory told me, As long as they spell your name right, it is free publicity whether they talk good or bad about you.
Reader Todd Espinosa grew up in the heart of WWE territory in upstate New York. He thinks the line about Bruno was a stroke of genius.
The fact that people are even talking about or debating how often people wrestled in bygone eras shows just how incredible that Sammartino line was ... The first card I ever saw was headlined by Superstar Billy Graham as champion. I live 10 minutes away from Illio DiPaolos family restaurant. Does that mean, as a fan, I should get all twisted up over what the current heel champion says about them? Or Italians? Or this region?
Come on, fellas, he continues. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Its just beginning. And if Bruno or anyone else is the least bit aggravated by Punks comments, they are taking a worked production way too seriously.
Anthony Conchel of Caledonia, Ohio, credits Heyman for the edginess of Punks mic handiwork.
The worked shoot style Punk is using is pure Heymanesque. Typical of his work in ECW when hed shoot on the network or allow wrestlers to air their grievances a la Steve Austin and Mick Foley. Vince marketed Attitude; Paul created it.
Longtime fan Richard Egner, acknowledging the difference in generations, still took umbrage to Punks comments.
Punk in his wildest dreams has never worked 25 percent as hard as Bruno did during his run as champ. Bruno worked six nights a week year in and year out ... different time, different business, and the pressure today is a whole different dimension. Chances are a guy with Brunos skills today wouldnt be a fit as they were when he was a genuine ethnic hero. His exclusion is beyond a joke and way worse than the Pete Rose exclusion. Bruno never cheated his fans.
Reader Terry Harris wonders why the past has to be disrespected in order to get an angle over.
Casual fans have no idea who Bruno is, so why say it? The old school fans know the truth, so again, why say it? Things like this only alienate the old school wrestlers who paved the way for the current group of sports entertainers. Vince knew this would be a hot topic for Bruno, so why use him as a prop to get something over?
Dayv Duncan of North Charleston doubts Punk would have been in Sammartinos league during that era of wrestling.
I dont think that C.M. understands the difference in between eras in wrestling. I know for a fact if C.M. was around during the late 80s he would have been a mid-carder at best. Guys like Savage, Flair, Hulk would carve him up. Hes been successful recently because there arent many stars and they need somebody to hold the strap just because Cena cant hold it forever.
Simply put, adds John Natoli of Charleston, his remark, in character or not, is an insult to every wrestler that performed before him. If it wasnt for Brunos era, Punk wouldnt be where he is.
Heres hoping Triple H pulled off a coup, and this is leading to a face-off between Bruno and Punk, as Bruno is finally inducted into the Hall of Fame, Greg Price of Charlotte posted.
Punk talking about Bruno reminded me of Flair talking about Jack Brisco and Wahoo McDaniel, etc. in the 90s, comments Shelton Hull of Jacksonville, Fla. I had no idea who those were, but I was intrigued. I would assume that Vince/Punk were trying to give Bruno the rub, and that his being mentioned could be a sign that negotiations for the HOF are going well. If the Rock shows up at Raw with Bruno next week, that would be a good sign too.
If Triple H and McMahon were on course to convince Sammartino to accept an invitation to the Hall of Fame, then Punks promo did WWE no favors, opines Jerry Wiseman of Sylva, N.C.
If this was scripted for him, the writers and seemingly Vince McMahon, who approves everything, either do not care or have no clue. If Punk went into business for himself, then he shows no respect for the older generation of professional wrestling. Either way this was a slap in the face to not only Bruno Sammartino, but also those of us who grew up watching that era of professional wrestling.
Donna Huntley of Atlanta questions the need to even bring up stars of bygone generations.
Personally, I think if you want to be taken seriously in any business, you do not make outlandish remarks about previous management, champions, etc. He claims he works harder maybe, maybe not but C.M. Punk is compensated so much more than wrestlers of previous generations. Sammartino had to do more with much less. C.M. Punk gets more money, therefore due to the competition, he must work harder for it. Dont disrespect a man who paved the way for you ... your road is much easier because of his hard work.
Jack Lord, an independent wrestler from Hokes Bluff, Ala., thought Punks promo was spot-on.
Punk is a true heel and doing what you should to generate heat. By bringing Bruno into it, he opened the door for many old school fans to once again have a voice. Hes making people talk about the product again. Job well done.
Jason Scott of Charleston agrees that Punk was simply doing what a great heel does, and that was drawing heat and stirring controversy. He also points out that comparing different generations can be an inexact science.
Every generation had their hardships, and to say one had it harder than the other is subjective at best. Bruno never had to do TLC matches and take a hundred bumps a match every night. Punk never had to wrestle 60 minutes a night in a boxing ring. Id be inclined to agree with Punk just for the fact that in addition to legit being on the road everyday as he is as champ, hes also having to do all the gimmick matches which take a toll on your body.
Punk is acting as a bridge between an era when wrestling was highly popular among the mainstream and today, an era where he has generated plenty of mainstream media attention, comments Alex Keown of Bloomingdale, Ill. As stated before he is a heel, and attacking an icon such as Bruno generates heat. The Rock, if youll pardon the pun, knows his role and is defending those who came before from Punks verbal attacks. Its a classic formula that played well in yesteryear and is playing well today.
If Punk wrote these comments himself, more power to him. Hes doing his job in generating heat and more interest in his match with Rock, posted Bernie Volpicelli of Boston. If they were Vinces words, I think its an attempt to get back at Bruno for not doing business with todays WWE.
Chuck Green of Charleston pointed to other controversial promos Punk has delivered in the past.
The Vegas pipe bomb. Making fun of Lawlers heart attack. Slighting Bruno. These three incidents have had the wrestling world buzzing like little else has these last couple of years. Punk is doing his job ... just like Bruno would have.
Green also wonders why fans havent been as upset over comments Punk recently made about 16-time world champion Ric Flair.
Lets face it. Ric has had a bigger impact on this sport than any other wrestler. Shouldnt people who are so upset about Lawler and Bruno be upset about that too?
Mike Lacett of Toledo, Ohio, believes the uproar is much ado about nothing.
The guy (Punk) understands and respects the business more than most of the youngins ... this is being blown out of proportion.
Cant wait to see Punk and Flair chew it up next week, adds Espinosa, alluding to an anticipated confrontation between the two on Monday nights 20th anniversary Raw special.
Punk is a heel who is supposed to be make outlandish comments soaked in hyperbole and stretched by delusional exaggeration. I thought his comments were brilliant and exactly what a heel should be saying if referencing the champions of that era. That fact that there is any controversy shows the sublime level of brilliance of that part of the promo.
Wrestling is a hustle and thats why we like it, offered Dylan Hales of Charleston. If Punk got people riled up, he was doing his job. I know for a fact there are very few modern wrestlers more interested in the history of the business than Punk. Anyone who thinks he was taking serious shots at Bruno is getting worked.
Apparently former WWWF champion Superstar Billy Graham was one of them.
Graham, one of Sammartinos major rivals during the 70s, took to Facebook to offer his two cents on the matter. Unlike Sammartino, though, Graham did make a trip to accept his WWE Hall of Fame award several years ago.
I have lost all respect for you for not saying no to the writers of the WWE for saying Bruno Sammartino only wrestled once a month in Madison Square Garden, Graham said in reference to Punks comments. You talk about one of the greatest icons ever in pro wrestling like he was a jobber? You should be ashamed of yourself for not having the self-dignity to say no the writers on that line. That line you delivered indicates that I am a big loser like Bruno as well and insults me, as I wrestled in the same era as Bruno. This only confirms more that I want my name out of the WWE Hall of Fame.
Graham offered one final pipe bomb of his own.
How many monthly sellouts have you yourself drawn at Madison Square Garden? Not a PPV or the Raw TV show. Quit talking trash about Bruno. Its an insult to him and all the wrestlers of his era including myself.
Graham, who considers Heyman a close friend and among the top five promo men in pro wrestling history, added that it saddened him to see Heyman forced to remain mute in a WWE ring.
Paul Heyman is in the same category of a Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan and a Superstar Billy Graham, there will never be another like us, wrote Graham. He is making money and supporting his family and doing and saying what he is told to do. I wish him nothing but the best of luck with his job with the WWE.
Graham also gave props to Triple H, but questioned why McMahon hasnt made a personal call to Sammartino.
I have the upmost respect for Triple H and actually consider him to be the best all-around performer ever in the WWE for promo ability, wrestling skills, charisma and in-ring presence. Instead of having Triple H asking Bruno week after week to go into the HOF, why doesnt Vince be a real man and personally call Bruno and ask him himself?
Another more current WWE star responded to Graham on Twitter.
Dear Superstar Billy Graham ... Shut the hell up and stop being such a mark. Your Pal, Chris Jericho.
A work is a work is a work, surmises reader Joe Dobrowski of Washington, D.C., who adds that he thought the McMahon family should have been more considerate of Sammartino.
I just think its sad, but Punk is a professional. What he is doing is designed to do just that, just like Heyman mocking the Lawler heart attack. I think Bruno should have been more protected by the McMahons, but if I remember correctly, Bruno was blackballed by Vince Sr. before he agreed to his Garden run in 63.
Bruno should be held up as a national treasure. I think it is amazing how people are worked up by a work. I think a lot of fans get caught up in the work, but Bruno has earned his respect.
Ive followed Brunos career and have seen him wrestle many times at the Boston Garden, adds Volpicelli. Punk is good at ring psychology and holding the crowd, emotionally. What he doesnt have, as far as I know, is the ethnic factor that Bruno had, attracting so many Italian Americans. Its such a different era, and a different formula of wrestling, but I think Punk is good enough to have a decent shot at it.
Wayne Rush of Columbia simply cut to the chase with his astute assessment.
Its professional wrestling!

Before they were friends, before they were teammates, Stetson University freshmen Madison Akins and Tiffany Creamer were opponents on the volleyball court.
Playing at high schools separated by just 17.5 miles in an area south of Atlanta, Akins' Whitewater High School and Creamer's Landmark Christian School would often face each other a couple of times a year.
It was not a heated rivalry. The two schools competed in different classifications (Landmark Christian-A, Whitewater-5A), and both players helped lead their teams to Georgia State Championships their senior year.
However, it was not until Akins and Creamer joined the Tsunami 18-Val volleyball club team in the fall of 2012 that they became friends.
By that point Akins had already committed to play collegiately at Stetson, but Creamer was still weighing her options. Akins decided to plant a seed.
"I said to Tiff, 'What if you came to Stetson? How great would it be to have a friend in college?" Akins said.
"We kept joking around all season, 'Oh, we could go to school together,' never actually thinking it would be real," Creamer said.
In February of 2013, Stetson head coach Tim Loesch went to go watch Akins play and noticed that Creamer, whom he had initially recruited a year prior, had improved quite a bit. In fact, he was surprised to learn she was still undecided on a college.
Like a mastermind working both sides of a plan, Akins took advantage of the opportunity to tell Loesch how much she enjoyed playing with Creamer.
"It was over our spring break when we were playing club ball, and I was on the phone with coach," Akins said. "He would ask me about Tiff, or I would say something about her. He asked about how she played, how good she was as a player."
The timing worked out perfectly as Loesch was looking to finalize his recruiting class and Creamer was looking to make a commitment. A formal offer was made, and Creamer accepted.
This past summer, the soon-to-be Hatter teammates helped their Tsunami club team qualify for the USA Volleyball Junior National tournament in its final regional of the season. In late June the team traveled to Dallas, Tex. to compete against 47 other teams from across the country for a national title.
"For us it was weird, because in the previous tournaments we never finished strong," Akins said. "But in this tournament we didn't take any games for granted. We just took it one game at a time, and focused on that game."
One match at a time, match after match, the Tsunami team came away victorious, and eventually found itself playing for the national title against NorCal Black.
"They definitely had some good players, they had some big girls on their team so it was an exciting game," Creamer said.
"We were not a stacked team," Akins said. "We had some girls going on to play in college, but that game took a lot of teamwork and fighting through every point."
After the teams split the first two sets, Tsumani won the decisive third set 15-7 to capture the championship.
"The game started late, and when we got our awards, we were all rushing and changing and trying to make our flight," Akins said. "Half the people missed their flights. Our pictures were all rushed. It was a big blur."
In August, Akins and Creamer made their way to Stetson for preseason practice, and their friendship made transitioning to college life much easier.
"Just knowing somebody, and having somebody to go to lunch with every day was definitely helpful," Creamer said. "Even during preseason, having someone there that you know to talk to about it, having someone who thinks the same thing and has had the same path was very helpful."
The two were so inseparable at times, Loesch found himself getting their names mixed up, even though he could clearly tell them apart.
Both players also gelled quickly with the rest of their Hatter teammates. Akins said she expected her new college team to function in a similar fashion to her high school and club teams, but that assumption was quickly dispelled.
"Although (our club team) worked hard preparing for nationals, this team is the hardest working team I ever been on," Akins said about the Stetson volleyball squad. "Coming into preseason, I was completely astounded at how hard people worked and how it is all about volleyball. Back at nationals, some girls didn't love volleyball and they weren't going on to play at higher levels, so it wasn't their life. Here, everyone is so devoted, and they have that mindset that they want to be there for their team, on and off the court. Stetson has taught me a lot more about teamwork and working hard then I ever could have imagined."
"Everyone has each other's back for sure," Creamer said. "As a freshman, it was definitely good to hear (the veterans say), 'We are all willing to work for you and help you.' They want you to succeed, they want everyone to succeed."
Akins, Creamer, and the rest of the Hatters (13-7, 4-1 A-Sun) will look to be successful on the road this weekend as Stetson visits ETSU (11-6, 5-0) at 6 p.m. Friday and USC Upstate (1-13, 1-4) at 3 p.m. Saturday in a pair of key Atlantic Sun Conference matches. The Hatters are currently tied for third place in the league, one game behind undefeated ETSU and a half-game back of Jacksonville (5-1).
The USC Upstate match will be broadcast live on ASun.TV.
Akins and Creamer have both played key roles in the Hatters' strong start this season. Creamer, a two-time A-Sun Freshman of the Week, ranks second on the team in kills, while Akins ranks fifth in kills and third in blocks.
When asked how a conference championship with Stetson might compare to their high school or club championships, Akins and Creamer each began smiling from ear to ear, virtually answering the question before saying a word.
"That would be amazing, it would be so cool," Creamer said. "I can't even put it into words."
"For my high school team (winning state) wasn't as big as a deal as it is for some high schools," Akins said. "Nationals fell into place and was amazing, but here, we've worked so hard, and coming off what happened last season, it could make such a big impact for this program.
"A lot of the girls on this team deserve it," Akins added. "For everything they have put into this year and for how well they are leading the team, I think they deserve it. I want to see them have that championship."

September just happens to be national potato month! What better way to celebrate than with this unique blue potato enchilada recipe.
I found some excellent blue potatoes at the Cedar Falls Farmer's Market a few weeks ago at the Friedrich farm stand. I instantly fell in love with their unique flavor and texture, not to mention their gorgeous blue-purple color! They seemed to me the perfect filler for my ever-evolving vegetarian enchilada recipe, and hence they were!
I made a pan of these enchiladas for our cousins in Des Moines last weekend using Juan O'Sullivans Salsa De Mesa, a locally made salsa, as the enchilada sauce. It was absolutely delicious. You can order your own jar right online if you wan to try the salsa in this recipe. If not, any can of red enchilada sauce will do.
4 medium blue potatoes, thinly sliced with skins on
1 small onion, chopped
1 14-oz can of red enchilada sauce or 1 jar of Juan O'Sullivans
6 whole-wheat tortillas
1 can black beans
1 12-oz. bag of cheddar cheese
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
4 roasted green chile peppers, or 1 can green chiles (optional)
1 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Start by covering the bottom of the pan with one ladle of enchilada sauce.
- Spread two tortillas across the middle of the pan. Tear the other tortilla in half and then layer the two halves on opposites sides of the pan, with the straight edges parallel to the edge of the pan.
- Spread another ladle of sauce over the tortillas.
- Lay 1/2 of the potato slices flat on top of the sauce, spreading them evenly across the pan.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the onions and 1/2 of the beans over the potatoes.
- If using green chiles, spread these evenly over the onions and beans.
- Add 1/2 of the cheese.
- Repeat step 2 by spreading tortillas over the cheese.
- Spread another ladle of sauce over the tortillas.
- Repeat steps 4 through 8 (though you will probably be out of green chiles; if not, spread the rest)
- Add red pepper slices to the top of the cheese.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for and hour and 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool and set up for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with Heirloom Tomato and Sweet Corn Salsa.

This booklet contains a thorough examination of coping strategies and causes of myeloma fatigue, as well as suggestions for discussing fatigue with your doctor. Myeloma patients may experience fatigue caused by the disease, by treatment, and by the understandable anxiety and/or depression that affects many.
In healthy people, fatigue is understood as exhaustion or tiredness that interferes to some extent with normal everyday activities. It usually occurs after strenuous or prolonged exertion of some kind and is temporary. Rest and refraining from strenuous activity can help restore energy and make a healthy person feel better.
Fatigue that is related to cancer and its treatments, however, is different and more severe than normal fatigue and tends to last longer. Simply resting does not alleviate the fatigue. This type of fatigue has been defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network as "a distressing, persistent, subjective sense of tiredness or exhaustion related to cancer or cancer treatment that is not proportional to recent activity and interferes with usual functioning." Asthenia, the medical term for weakness or the loss of physical strength, often accompanies, or is a component of, fatigue. Cancer-related fatigue may also be associated with difficulty concentrating, dizziness, or a disinterest in what is going on around you.
In patients with multiple myeloma, fatigue and asthenia can be the result of many individual or collective causes. You should report persistent fatigue and/or weakness to your healthcare providers and not simply assume that they are an unavoidable consequence of your diagnosis and treatment.

Last Sunday Paula Deen was able to carve out a brief moment of joy, celebrating the christening of her stepdaughter's baby girl near the Savannah home she shares with husband Michael Groover.
"The subject of the sermon was stand strong. She felt like it was a message," says a source close to the family. During the service, "when Paula went to pray with the minister, he said, 'We're behind you,'" adds a Deen pal. "She got emotional."
Since the Food Network announced it was severing ties with Deen – after she admitted in a deposition released on June 19 that she had used the N-word (see box in magazine) – the shamed TV chef has needed all the support she can get.
She has been "beyond devastated," says a producer friend of Deen's. "She can hardly put one foot in front of the other."
The 66-year-old was not prepared for the fallout.

Dan Beard, one of the founding fathers of Scouting, has left a remnant of his past in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Dan Beard Outdoor School for Boys was located on the premises of what is now the Woodloch Pines Resort. It has been donated by the Kiesendahl Family to the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council, Boy Scouts of America to be erected at Goose Pond Scout Reservation. The school's Headquarters cabin has been dismantled and is now in storage in Scranton.
We need help to raise enough dollars to re-assemble "Uncle Dan's" cabin and have it become part of Boy Scout living history at Goose Pond. There is a strict deadline for re-assembly of the cabin, to ensure the stability of the original American Chestnut logs. If any of the logs deteriorate, there are no available replacement logs available in the United States. Today, the locally harvested logs are considered rare and extremely valuable.
Immortalize your son, his troop, your favorite Scout leader, Eagle Scout, service project, yourself, your family, or a family member. You can also place a paver "In Memory Of" someone special by purchasing one of the two differently sized pavers that will provide a walkway at the entrance to Dan Beard's Cabin.
Be sure to visit the Scout Shop in the NEPA Council Service and Training Center after Summer Camp to become a Founding Member of the "Dan Beard Cabin Society". For a donation of $1.00 or more you will receive a membership card and get to sign the "Fort Pitt Door" founder's book which will be on permanent display at the Dan Beard Cabin once it is reassembled.
$500.00 + Donation will receive –
An original piece of log from the cabin with a brass plate.
$1000.00 + Donation will receive –
A laser printed log slice with a wooden plank base. Both pieces original to the cabin.
$2500.00 + Donation will receive –
A plaque with an original log slice and a brass plate.
$5000.00 + Donation will receive –
A Cabin picture mounted behind an etched original glass window pane in a frame made from original cabin wood.
The Northeastern Pennsylvania Council, Boy Scouts of America has begun the process of relocating and restoring an important piece of Scouting's history.
This cabin, the last remaining part of the Dan Beard Outdoor School, a camp run by Daniel Carter Beard in Lackawaxen Township, Pike County, PA is being disassembled and moved 12 miles to Goose Pond Scout Reservation. This process is not a small undertaking, but by relocating and keeping this 1926 Kiva style log cabin in Upstate Pennsylvania we are not only preserving its history but are also honoring a beloved founder of the BSA, Dan Beard himself.
These pages will explain the history of the cabin and detail the restoration process. You will also be able to follow the project through our collection of pictures and images.
This project is being made possible with help from the many volunteers who are giving their time and labor freely. It cannot be completed, however, without the contributions and generosity of supporters like you. CLICK HERE to find out more about the Dan Beard Relocation Project or how to make a monetary donation to pay the costs of the relocation and rebuilding.
Preserving this cabin, this piece of history has significant meaning not only to the early beginnings of the Boy Scouts of American, but to Daniel Carter Beard and his association with the Northeastern Pennsylvania region. His original summer home, Wildlands, burned down in 1961. The other buildings of the Dan Beard Outdoor School for Boys no longer exist or have been moved. That makes this Kiva style log cabin the last remaining part of Beard's Outdoor School. Relocating and keeping the cabin in the NEPA region is important to preserving not only this history but it is also a tribute to a beloved founder of the BSA, Dan Beard himself.
In 1887, Daniel Carter Beard and his brother James first purchased property on Lake Teedyuskung in Lackawaxen Twp, Pike County, PA. The property was eventually deeded in full to Dan Beard. He built a log cabin in 1887 known as Wildlands as a summer home. In 1916 The Dan Beard Outdoor School for Boys was incorporated and the summer camp program began to take shape.
Dan Beard met Abner McPheters at an outdoor conference and designs for an additional log cabin on his property in Lackawaxen Twp, were formulated. Abner McPheters was a outdoor guide, lumber operations manager, and cabin builder from Maine. A deal was struck and McPheters came from Maine with five loggers (two are known at this time as Little Joe and Elmer) to construct the Kiva style cabin in 1926. The cabin was built on the East side of Welcome Lake Road which is now owned by Woodloch Pines. The purpose of building a Kiva style cabin is that it is well suited to be used as a large assembly room. This Camp Headquarters cabin was designed for that purpose. It is a 28' x 30' rectangular log building with walls reaching to the steeply pitched roof. Joists were placed during the construction (see photo) on the top of wall girders in a N-S orientation to accommodate a hanging room known as the Orioles Nest, which was placed at right angles in a East West direction.
This nest was constructed to float on the rafters so as not to take away from the rooms spacious appearance. The floor of the second level is locked into place by a king post that runs from the roof's ridgepole to the second floor joist and held in place by wooden pegs. It was effective in reducing vibration and springing of the floor. Stairs were built on the NW side of the room leading to the Orioles Nest. The loft is surrounded with a "U" shaped balcony referred to as a "Romeo and Juliet" balcony.
An extension with a lean-to style roof is located on the east side of the cabin and contains 4 small rooms to be used as bedrooms and offices. The desire was to maintain focus on the cabins' use as an assembly room. A porch extends from the NW side and continues to the South side of the cabin. A stone fireplace with a puncheon mantel was constructed on the east side of the assembly room. To build it, they first constructed a open face wooden box to be used as a form for laying the stones. Once the stones were laid and chimney finished, a fire was set burning the wooden form from the fireplace.
The front door of the cabin was referred to as a "Fort Pitt" door. It was constructed by using small tree trunks with one side flattened (puncheons.) Each puncheon was attached together to make 2 panels. A frame was constructed and the panels attached to each side. These panel seams were offset and covered on the insides sealing the seams to reduce air seepage. The outside panel overlapped the frame to complete the seal when the door was closed. One of the Maine Loggers, Little Joe, forged the metal hinges in Hawley at a blacksmith shop and hand carved the latches and handles for the door.

Random question. When and where will they post the schedule? Plan to watch live on Icenetwork and need to know the times so I don't miss anything. Thanks!
this schedule, obviously in local time - I think it's 12 ours ahead of the US east coast. I assume what I found is accurate, but it may be best to wait for the official schedule on ISU.
men's competition looks more interesting than that of ladies at this event. (IMO)
I would be shocked if Joannie doesn't win.
Icenetwork just posted its live streaming time
Ahhh - thanks heaps!! I'll go check it out!!
The prior post for COC live streaming feeds was to a Forum location, try this one:
I'm rooting for Mirai, CaroK, Shen/Zhao, and CHOCK/ZUERLEIN (so excited to see them in the senior grand prix!). Throw in Lysacek as well -- I have alot of respect for the 'older' skaters who've stayed in shape/trained for so many years and keep competing!
I'm rooting for S/Z, Joannie, mirai and Ten! I predict Oda will win. Joannie should be shoe in to win here. I would like to see S/Z win here but it was reported that Xue had twisted her ankle several days ago, not sure if that would have any effect on them.
Can't wait! one more day to go
I'm rooting for Carolina, may she finally coming back and enjoy her skate without feeling the pressure. I hope everyone can show up and enjoy, doing her best. All of them should stay on their feet and deliver. I love Joannie too, prefer the older skater to the younger

First, though, came the shock of turning around and seeing Cameron Novack (aka Novacaine), who didn't make it on to anyone's team. He sang, (kind of) rapped and even beat-boxed a bit to Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know."
"I did not expect you to look that way," Levine said. "How are you not a woman?"
Fortunately, most of the other singers had better luck.
TEAM AGUILERASera Hill, 24, of Atlanta, Ga., wowed Aguilera with her rendition of "I'm Going Down." "I've been waiting for someone to come along and excite me like you did," said Aguilera, who actually joined Hill on stage to sing one more chorus.
The coach also added folk-rocker Lee Koch, 27, who performed "Like a Rolling Stone," to the mix of powerhouse vocalists who comprise her team, which also includes gospel singer Anthony Evans; opera singer Chris Mann; smooth R&B crooner Jesse Campbell; young pop hopeful Ashley De La Rosa, 17; R&B singer Jonathas; Lindsay Pavao; Janis Joplin fan Monique Benabou; former kickboxer and family man Geoff McBride; the show's first emcee, Moses Stone; and quirky country duo Haily Steele and Leland Grant, who call themselves The Line.
TEAM ADAMEvery coach turned around for Whitney Myer, 25, of Reno, Nev., but she ultimately picked Levine, who favorably compared her to Mary J. Blige. Orlando Napier's bluesy voice and piano-playing landed him a spot on the Maroon 5 singer's team, as well.
Adam Levine's remaining 10 singer include former Mouseketeer Tony Lucca; sweet-voiced R&B singer Angel Taylor; belter Chris Cauley of Atlanta, Ga.; guitar-playing Karla Davis; singer-songwriter Katrina Parker; sassy soul singer Kim Yarbrough; science expert Mathal, 18; alt-rocker Nathan Parrett; piano playing Nicolle Galyon; and bowtie wearing Pip.
TEAM BLAKEMusic camp counselor Lex Land, 24, of Austin, Texas, caught Cee Lo Green's ear initially but she chose to join Team Blake after he turned around when she launched into the chorus of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me."
And Adley Stump 22 of Tulsa, Oka., has only been singing for 10 months, but she caught both Aguilera and Shelton's attention with her powerful rendition of "Last Name," ultimately picking the country singer as her coach.
Rounding out Shelton's team: indie pop singer Alyx; Brian Fuente; singer-songwriter Charlotte Sometimes; powerhouse singer Erin Willett; country crooner Gwen Sebastian; Alicia Keys's background vocalist Jermaine Paul; country singer Jordan Rager; rocker (and cooking enthusiast) Jordis Unga; reggae- rooted Naia Kete, 15; and country sweetheart RaeLynn.
TEAM CEE LOHeavy rock duo The Shields Brothers caught Cee Lo's ear with their rousing take on "Dancing with Myself," while Hawaiian singer Cheesa, 21, opted to join his team, too, after Levine (her initial pick for coach) urged him to push his button. Finally, Cee Lo issued his verdict – "Solid," he said – and snapped up 18-year-old Wade, who performed Amy Winehouse's "Rehab."
Team Cee Lo is now complete with Air Force member and YouTube star Angie Johnson; former model Erin Martin; recovering drug addict Jamar Rogers; crooner James Massone; classic rocker Jamie Lono; indie rocker Juliet Simms; multi-instrumentalist Justin Hopkins; folk singer Sarah Golden; and Broadway veteran Tony Vincent.
What's Next?The coaches will have to chop their teams in half next week as the singers enter the battle rounds and mentoring sessions.
Along the way, they'll get help from Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke, who help mentor Team Adam. Jewel and Lionel Ritchie team up with Aguilera. Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Ne-Yo mentor Team Cee Lo. And Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert offer a little guidance to Team Blake.
