Team USA Camp highlights youth
Gianmarc Manzione
USBC Communications
Published: June 15, 2012 |
Collegiate bowlers Marshall Kent, A.J. Johnson and Danielle McEwan always dreamed of competing alongside the bowlers they idolized growing up. The moment they walked through the doors of the International Training and Research Center in Arlington, Texas, this week to report for
Team USA
Training Camp, they didn't have to dream anymore.
The kind of players awaiting them on the other side of those doors included reigning United States Bowling Congress Queens champion
Diandra Asbaty
, reigning Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year Sean Rash, and PBA Triple Crown winner Chris Barnes.
But this was no autograph session; this was Team USA Camp, and they were part of the club.
"You look up to these guys when you're growing up, you see them bowling on TV all the time, and now to bowl with them on Team USA is just surreal," said Kent, 19, who just completed his freshman year at Robert Morris-Illinois.
Kent qualified for Team USA by winning the 2012 USBC
Team USA Trials
. He went on to become the Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association Most Valuable Player for the 2011-12 season.
"There are no words to describe being able to learn from these guys and see the sport through their eyes," said Johnson, 19, who made the team by finishing third at the team trials and enters his sophomore year at McKendree University this fall. "These guys are superstars, and now getting to bowl with them here at camp and getting all the knowledge they have and using it in my game, it's really cool."
But if those superstars thought their teenage counterparts were too awestruck to compete, a match pitting the team's rookies against its more seasoned members promptly proved them wrong.
"Yeah, they put a team of rookies together and we bowled the veterans and we came out with a 700 and then shot 650 the next game," Kent recalled, "and by that point everyone was kind of like 'Ah, they won anyways.'"
They may have won, but that doesn't mean the rookies are off the hook.
"They still find ways to put us in our place," Johnson said. "But it's all in good fun."
The infusion of young talent may have changed the composition of this year's team, but for head coach Rod Ross, everything remains the same.
"Sure, we have some players at the tail end of their performance cycles, some at their peak, and others just getting started, but on the lanes they are all bowlers, all athletes, and they're all here working toward the same goal," Ross said.
"It's great to see some of the younger talent coming our way in the past few years, when we've started seeing youth players making both the junior team and the adult team. You cannot duplicate the experience they're getting here working alongside elite players that have the experience of competing around the world.
"That is exactly what we need. We have to create a pipeline as the veterans' careers start winding down."
PBA Triple Crown winner and nine-time Team USA member
Chris Barnes
"You always know the next wave is coming," Barnes said. "As much as we like to think the world revolves around us, the fact is we're all pretty replaceable. And bowling on Team USA, you get to see who your replacements are on a pretty regular basis."
Several major events await Team USA, including the
PABCON Championships
in Henderson, Nev., later this summer, the inaugural World Singles Championships in Cyprus this September, and the World Tenpin Bowling Association World Championships in Henderson, Nev., next year.
"This is the first time in several years that we've had a joint camp with both the men's and women's teams, because the next two competitions will be joint events with both men and women competing, and that hasn't been done in almost ten years," Ross explained. "But the big goal of this camp is to get the players ready for the World Championships in 2013, where we'll be defending the title on our home soil for the first time."
For McEwan, 20, who enters her senior year at Fairleigh Dickinson this fall and heads out to Thailand with
Junior Team USA
next week to bowl the World Youth Championships, the Team USA Camp experience may prove just as valuable to her Fairleigh Dickinson teammates as it has been for her.
"There's just so much knowledge I can take from the coaches and the players here and bring back to my teammates," says McEwan, who made the team by winning the women's team trials. "We've done a lot of work on lane play, and I think that will help us a lot because that definitely is not everyone's strong point in college bowling, and I think it will be a huge advantage for us."
That is exactly what Ross wants to hear.
"The trickle-down effect is what's good about this facility," Ross said. "When we have college teams come in here, or young players coming in for Team USA Camp, they touch hundreds of people when they leave here."
is home to some of the most innovative and cutting-edge coaching technologies available in the bowling industry today, including high-speed video cameras, motion-capture devices, foot-pressure sensors and goggles enhanced with cameras to show exactly where a player is looking during the approach and delivery. A DVR system also is in place and can record any video feed to let a bowler see what they did on their last shot as soon as they step off the lane.
A United States Olympic Committee-recognized training center, the ITRC is a joint venture of USBC and the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America.
One of the newer pieces of technology used at this year's camp is the Bowler's Vest™ device, which can be placed on a player's upper back to track and measure players' stance and body position throughout their delivery.
"It's a vest with three accelerometers that measure movement in three dimensions," Ross explained. "It's a tool we use to measure consistency of posture. We all think we start a shot the same way every time, but until now we had no reference for that. This tool can actually measure it and see if we repeat our stance every shot."
It is a tool others are likely to hear about when Kent, Johnson and McEwan get back home.
"When I get back home everybody asks me 'How was it? How was it?'" Johnson said. "Honestly, I don't think there is any better place to bowl. They've got anything you ever would need to become a better bowler. And the coaches are always willing to help you with anything, anytime."

chromatin eventually thickens into distinct rods. These form when cell prepares to divide during anaphase of mitosis, made of protein, DNA, and some rRNA- chromatids are called chromosmes after they seperatte in anaphase.
unit of inherited information in DNA, a sequenceof nitrogenous bases containing information to produce a secific RNA molecule- which codes for a specitic protein.
mother cell
before mitosis can occur the mother cell must double (replicate) her DNA. This so each daughter cell will have the same amount of DNA as the parent cell. After DNA riplication, the chromantin thickens to form paired chromatids joined together by thier shared centromere. The centromere holds the two chromatids together until they are pulled apart in anaphase to become chromosomes.
organisms of different species have a characteristic number of chromsomes in each somatic cell (body cell). Humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs.
homologous chromosomes-
a pair of chromosomes governing the same trait. The gene for eye color, for example, is found on the same chromosomee both parents.The gene is therefore homologous.
(n) gametes (sperm or egg) 1/2 the chromosomes number. When two haploid cell join (sperm + egg)- fertilization, diploid number is restored (2n).
formerly called resting stage: lasts several hours to years ( not actually a phase of mitosis.
nucleous disappears, nuclear membrane disappears, centrioleles move toward opposite poles and microtules (spindle fibers) form near the centrioles.
when the nuclear membrane disappears, the chromatids have free access to the cytoplasm and attach to the spindle fibers by their centromere.
shortest phase
chromatids pairs move to center of the cell, the equator
each chromatid pair is attached by its centromere to spindle fibers.
centromeres split in half
spindle fibers pull the chromatids apart to opposite poles-
chromatids are now called chromosomes
each chromatid pair becomes 2 identical chromosomes
cytoplam divison begins (cytokinesis)

centrioles replicate
chromosomes return to chromatin stage
nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes
nucleolus reappears in each nucleus.
continued pinching of cell membrane results in 2 duaghter cells. Cells return to interphase and the cycle begins again.
ensures that each daughter cell receives exactly the same number and kind of chromosomes the parent has (somatic cell)

The division that separates the tetrads so that each daughter cell gets two copies of one of the two homologous chromosomes.
second meiotic division
new cells will have a haploid number of chromosomes; in females, only one of the daughter cells becomes a functional gamete; not preceded by chromosomal replication; chromosomes align, separate, and move to opposite poles, and are surrounded by a reformed nuclear membrane

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the TV series Doctor Who, USAopoly is releasing the Doctor Who Monopoly 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition. This themed version of Monopoly plays like the original version but with some custom Doctor Who rules.
The object of Doctor Who Monopoly is to be the only player left in the game after everyone else has gone bankrupt. To do this, buy properties and charge other players rent for landing on them. Collect groups of properties to increase the rent, then build houses and hotels to boost your income. Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their token clockwise around the board the number of spaces shown on the dice. Follow the directions on whatever space you land. Like in regular Monopoly, you might have to pay another player rent, have the opportunity to purchase a space, go to jail, or collect $200 for passing Go.
But there are special Doctor Who-themed spaces. Each square on the board represents a different episode instead of a property, such as the End of Time Part 2 and A Good Man Goes to War.
The GALLIFREY or U.N.I.T. spaces prompt the player to take the top card from the appropriate pile and follow the instructions on the card. You might collect money for solving the mystery of the sea foam at the Euro Sea Gas Control Station or get out of jail free.
If you land on the Car Tax/Sonic Screwdriver spaces, you must pay the bank the amount shown.
The TARDIS spaces replace the traditional railroad spaces.
The six playing pieces also have something to do with the Doctor Who show. The collectible tokens are in the shape of the Seventh Doctor's Umbrella, the Second Doctor's Recorder, the Fifth Doctor's Celery, the Eleventh Doctor's Bow, the Sonic Screwdriver, and the Fourth Doctor's Scarf.
Doctor Who Monopoly comes with a gameboard, six tokens, 28 title deed cards, 16 U.N.I.T. cards, 16 Gallifrey cards, a pack of Monopoly money, 32 houses, 12 hotels, and two dice. The game is for two to six players.
Doctor Who fans will enjoy remembering favorite episodes as they move around the board in this themed game. If you've played the original Monopoly before, the Doctor Who version will be familiar to you. And if you're a fan of Doctor Who, you'll enjoy the extra game features that make this Monopoly game such a great collector's edition.
Dr. Who Monopoly is for Dr. Who fans ages 8 and up.
If you are already an experienced Monopoly player and want a faster game, the instructions come with rules for a Speed Play version of the game that will take between 60-90 minutes.

Found Sounds 15: Hello NSA
June 22, 2013 - Harry Eagar
Although RtO has blogged about Roy Zimmerman before ("Catching Up with Roy Zimmerman," July 11, 2011), it never dubbed him a Found Sound. An oversight, for sure, since Zimmerman is the wittiest singing satirist around.
A good introduction, and topical though written in 2006, is "Hello NSA." An updated version has recently gone up on Youtube.
Commenter The Scowling Schnauzer sez:
"Finally! I've been wanting? to link this video in response to every NSA joke on the internet. Altho it's a bummer my favorite line has been taken out - 'Oh...won't you pleeeease-ah...tell...Condoleeeeeza...I ordered...extra cheeeese-ah...and I love her.' I guess that's about as funny to kids as a Walter Mondale joke, but it still tickles my funny bone."
Which is apt.
The hook line is "you really listen," although that does not seem to be the case. At least not so far as the phone records revelations indicate.
RtO does not trust the government not to intercept its calls, emails and sidelong glances, having grown up during the Cold War when Red Squads of ignorant boobs in local police forces trailed liberals around. (And not only here and not only then:
"McLibel leaflet was co-written by undercover police officer Bob Lambert")
From the Guardian, and isn't that more interesting and more unnerving that Greenwald's revelations that the NSA is hunting for people who are actually out to get me?

Well we aren't staying the night and will be heading back to at least Lansing right after the game but most likely right back to Chicago so I can get to work in the morning.
As far as Chicago fans, I work currently at the UC and other than the occasional Detroit Sucks chant that's the extent I've seen but I'm not inside the actual bowl so it could be different inside. I don't expect it to be that bad but you never can be too cautious with new surroundings. Obviously I won't be chirping back/standing up and cheering like an idiot but I hope people don't mind seeing the back of my Kane jersey . The most of my heckling will be with my girlfriend who will be wearing her Datsyuk jersey
I predict you are going to catch some heat for the Kane jersey. If you've got the option to switch to a Toews jersey, do it! Kane is not well liked (I think that's an understatement).

- Full Description
Advanced Planning Systems (APS) are a key enabler of the supply chain management. However, APS are highly complex and difficult to comprehend. This book provides students with valuable insights into the capabilities of state-of-the-art APS and bridges the gap between theory (model building and solution algorithms), software implementation, and adaptation to a specific business case. Our business case – named Frutado – provides a unifying framework for illustrating the different planning tasks that arise in a company – from demand planning to the distribution of goods – that are addressed by APS. In addition, the book guides through interactive learning units which have been created and recorded for each module of SAP´s APS. Learning units can be downloaded free of charge ready to be displayed in a web browser. Together, the textbook and the learning units provide the required skills to better understand the concepts, models, and algorithms underlying today´s APS.

Couples often seek the help of a therapist when one or both partners recognize problems in the relationship such as different goals, struggles with intimacy, or communication difficulties. By working in therapy you can identify the strengths and weaknesses in how you relate to each other and better understand the roles you and your partner play in creating problems in the relationship. This will help you discover ways to keep individual problems from interfering with your life together.
My work with couples starts with understanding each partners' perceptions of the challenges they are facing. As with individual psychotherapy we will work together to establish the goals of the treatment. My role is to support each of you in a balanced way that recognizes your individuality. I will help each of you make informed decisions about your relationship but will not make decisions for you. Therapy should be a safe place to explore new ways of being. I encourage couples to experiment with each other and take risks.
Couples therapy can help you both develop and maintain a passionate, spontaneous, trusting and loving relationship. Often the process may lead you to acknowledge individual challenges from childhood or from past relationships. If these echos from the past are creating problems in the present a course of individual therapy may be recommended.

Huge water main break causes problems from Zuni St. to I-25
DENVER — A large water main break slowed traffic on southbound I-25 near downtown Denver Thursday night.
The break was reported at about 7:00 p.m., and water could be seen all over the side of the highway. It shut down at least two lanes and caused a big traffic jam.
Denver Water spokesman Travis Thompson told FOX31 Denver that crews were at 29th and Zuni working to shut off water to the area. That is where the main flow of water originated.
The water poured down 29th from Zuni to Umatilla on to I-25. It filled the construction zone near the new 15th St. bridge on I-25.
Crews isolated the main and shut off the water around 10:30 p.m. 29th Ave. was closed between Zuni and Central streets. Customers along approximately seven blocks of 29th Ave. between Federal and Vallejo St. were without water.
Thompson says the pipes in that part of Denver are old. He also says repairs on the 24″ main were expected to last into at least Friday afternoon.

A 66-year-old man without significant medical history developed spontaneous sudden-onset left-sided headache. Pain started deeply behind the left ear and quickly spread upward into the head and face on the entire left side up to midline. Pain was controlled with analgesics and pregabalin. Ten days later, he noted that his tongue was swollen and he occasionally bit his tongue on the left side. Clinical examination showed dysarthria, deviation of the tongue to the left, left ptosis, and miosis consistent with hypoglossal palsy and oculosympathetic paresis (Figure, A and B). Magnetic resonance angiography showed carotid dissection in the subcranial segment that compressed the hypoglossal nerve after exit from the hypoglossal canal (Figure, C). The lumen was compromised, suggesting intimal tear. The cause of carotid dissection was not established. He was treated with anticoagulants.
Oculosympathetic (A) and hypoglossal (B) paresis was seen on the left side, and T1-weighted magnetic resonance angiography revealed hyperintensity in the thrombosed false lumen of the internal carotid artery (white arrowhead) in the vicinity of the hypoglossal nerve that exits through the hypoglossal canal (black arrowhead) (C).

Built like a tank as you would expect and handles beautifully if like me you don't mind the weight. The only drawback is the poor high ISO performance. ISO400 is safe and ISO800 absolute max.
I still prefer the results to my more modern (but cheaper) Nikons.

Carl Froch talks about Calzaghe
I am starting to feel sorry for the Calzaghes, began Froch.
Every time they attempt to fend off one of my challenges to them, they leave themselves wide open.
It is becoming a bit like shooting fish in a barrel.
Firstly Joes dad attempted to price his boy out of the market by asking for £1 million to fight me.
Now that hasnt washed, Joe has come out saying that I am miles away from being good enough to fight him.
Sorry to do this to you Joe; but lets take a look at your last two opponents.
We have the all conquering Mger Mkrtchian, ranked at a lofty 34 by the WBC.
Then lets not forget the outstanding Kabary Salem, who isnt even ranked by the organisation, yet stretched you 12 rounds.
Whereas I am ranked 22nd and my next opponent Henry Porras is ranked 11th.
Its more*like I'm too good. I think it is you Joe who have been fighting nobodies.
In my opinion its fighters like you, sitting in the comfort zone and only taking soft touches, that have led to Sky scaling down their boxing coverage.
Froch added: I dont think much of your next opponent Mario Veit either; he was bad enough the first time round.
Where are you going to go after that? It seems you have already lost out on the Lacy fight.
Like I said last time, all your team do is reel off a series of names: Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins and Glencoffe Johnson have all been mentioned.
Nothing ever happens.
So come on and give the fans what they want to see, a good old world class domestic dust up.
Me versus you would be an even better fight than Benn vs Eubank I.
If youre scared of losing your title, keep it. Lets just have a 12 round International contest.
In this day and age its not always about the belts, it is more important to make the big fights.
Nothing is standing in the way of this fight happening, so long as your promoter is reasonable and doesnt look for options.
You have an easy fight to get through.
I have a much tougher proposition in Porras, but I am going to do a number on him.
Lets do it: winner meets winner.
This isnt about the publicity, why would I want to get that off the back of you Joe in my opinion all you get is bad publicity or a mention in the South Wales Argus.
I genuinely want this fight.
The Cobra added: Joe, you say you would smash me. So why then dont you stop talking rubbish and walk the walk?
You say my hands are down, youre right they are - thats the way I fight. But you are wrong about my chin being in the air. Why dont you come try and catch it?
And at least I dont slap and tickle.
Once my combinations start landing on your kisser, you are getting KOd.

I like Froch he's a funny guy, can't see this fight happening though, too much for Calzaghe to lose and Froch doesn't bring anything to the table at this point, Joe looks to be fading though so the longer it takes to make the fight the better it is for Froch imo.

Why does froch want to fight calzaghe exactly? Froch is by far the better boxer, and calzaghes title is pretty meaningless. Froch is just starting to break into world level boxing, he dont need this fight, he needs to start fighting the better world level oppionents, not worrying about domestic reputations (which is clearly what this is about) and fading fighters like calzaghe

Calzaghe would ****in kill Froch, anyone with 1/100th of a brain knows that. Before the Lacy fight Froch called Calzaghe out every other day, but now he just sort of lightly suggests it as a possible future fight. I'd love to see Calzaghe knock the **** out of Carl's mouth.

Froch needs to prove himselv way more before he in any way deserves a shot at Calzaghe. And frankly he doesn't have what it takes to do so.
Froch is WAY too ****y for a 29 yo who has yet to achieve anything.
But in a way i'd like to see Calzaghe shut him up big time.
One of a very few fights where i'd be rooting for Joe.

NOT MANY players get the chance to play for their basketball idol. You can count Raekwon Dial among the fortunate.
Not only does the 5-9 Strawberry Mansion guard play for his boyhood basketball inspiration, the senior used his coach's advice yesterday to help the Knights (6-12, 4-8) upend host Mastery Charter North, 47-38, and earn a Public League C playoff spot.
Knights coach Matthew Johnson, a 2006 Mansion grad who also graduated from Gwynedd-Mercy College, has been an important figure for Dial.

The Knitting Station was created as a spin off from working in the design and clothing industry for most of my life. I have never known a time when I was idly sitting without knitting needles in my hands when I was not at work in a garment factory or behind a sewing machine. Technically trained as a designer and pattern maker has brought me huge joy throughout my life.
From my work experience I gained an excellent knowledge of sizing and grading. Most of my patterns are made from the bottom up with traditional side seams which I believe is crucial for maintaining a garment's structure to ensure that all the hard work you put into your project keeps your finished garment looking good for many, many years to come.
I love to make garments that I can wear everyday, especially those that make me feel comfortable and with a sublime level of style.
Whatever your craft, we do wish you many happy hours of relaxation with Yarn in your hands!
Easy Brioche Ribbing makes simple and very gently flared hemline peplums, a V-shaped neckline means you can wear this with a collared shirt or a relaxed Tee Top.
Bulk of body comprises of a 1x1 ribbing for total comfort, also giving plenty of negative ease. This also gives the yarn and garment loads of extra body.
The front neckband is taken around to complete the back neck giving the cardigan a neat back neck finish at the same time also keeping the neck from ever stretching out of shape.
A one button front closure allows the Peplums to swing attractively. For a funkier and younger look use one (or several) small butterfly hair clips to catch the two fronts together thus eliminating the need for a buttonhole. Alternatively make a tie belt to close.
A full length set in sleeve has flared Peplum cuffs and looks equally attractive with a 3/4 length sleeve for spring weather. Wear over a Tee or tank top picking up one of the colours in the yarn.
Finished Measurements with plenty of Negative Ease!
Small: 92cms Large: 112cms
Medium: 102cms X-Large: 122cms
Yarn Used: Elle Family Knit Classic, new Paint Range
Lovely new colours and very well priced!
Love the fact that cardi can be thrown in the washing machine on a cold wash without any worries!
1x1 ribbing: 32sts and 27 rows
10cms / 4" squared
1500 yards of DK weight

ASB, IISD Engage REDD+ Negotiators at Capacity Building Meeting
4 February 2011: The ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins (ASB) and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) held a meeting of the REDD+ Development Dividend Task Force in Manila, Philippines, on 25-26 January 2011.
The meeting brought together 15 negotiators and experts on REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks) from the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Nepal, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Brazil, Cameroon, Ghana and the US. It constituted the second phase of a Norwegian-funded project aimed at building the capacity of climate change negotiators and land managers in developing countries to negotiate for effective and fair international and national-level policies for REDD+. The meeting focused discussions on modalities for strengthening measurement, reporting and verification (MRV), co-benefits, effective information sharing systems and benefit sharing mechanisms. Participants also discussed the need for guidance on minimum standards for policies and procedures for direct and indirect REDD+ impacts.
The project will hold additional regional workshops in Cambodia and Viet Nam. ASB is a member of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). [ASB Press Release] [Support to REDD+ Negotiators and Land Managers Website]

ROSEMOUNT, Minn. — At a time when many school districts across the nation are having to cut bus routes, a Minnesota district came up with a way to increase its transportation service.
At Independent School District (ISD) 196, Coordinator of Transportation Randy Dukek recently presented to the school board a plan to offer transportation for a fee to students who aren't currently eligible for service.
The board approved the plan in a meeting on Monday. It will go into effect for the 2010-11 school year.
Interestingly, the district already goes beyond what Minnesota mandates. While state law requires districts to transport all students who live outside a two-mile radius of their school, ISD 196 has been providing free transportation for elementary students who live more than half a mile from school and secondary students who live more than one mile.
Under the new plan, students inside those district-set boundaries can pay $250 per year (or $125 for students eligible for free or reduced-price school meals) to ride the bus. The fees are expected to allow the district to recoup the cost of the extra service.
Dukek said that although the registration for the service hadn't started yet, there appeared to be even more interest from parents than he had anticipated.
"We'll know more soon, but it seems to be going over fairly positively," Dukek told SBF.
ISD 196 owns and operates about 200 school buses. Ridership is now around 23,000 students, which is a remarkable 82 percent of the approximately 28,000 students enrolled in the district.
Dukek said that the new fee-for-service option might add a few hundred riders initially.
"Many are used to walking or finding other transportation for those distances currently," he said. But ridership will likely increase further "as more people get used to the option."
The key reason behind the expanded service is the safety of the students.
"In these suburban metro areas, the amount of busy roads you have — there are concerns there with hazards," Dukek said.
ISD 196 already made exceptions for students inside the eligibility boundaries who have hazardous crossings on their way to school. Free transportation is also provided for special-education students within the boundaries whose IEP requires it.

Year of Wonders and Caleb's Crossing
Year of Wonders is a book about the plague, but it is also so much more than that. Anna lives in a small village in England in 1666. She has two small children and a hard working husband. Despite her struggles with her relationship with her father, and a new minister, things are generally going well for Anna. Unfortunately the true history of the village, as discovered by Brooks, creates a tragic backdrop for Anna's fictional life. First, Anna's husband dies in a mining accident, and to help ends meet, Anna takes in a boarder from London. Shortly after this, her boarder suddenly dies, and people in her village begin falling fatally sick. The death of Anna's husband is only the beginning of the upheaval that Anna is to survive. Near the end of the book, everything that she has known was turned up on its head.
Geraldine Brooks came upon a sign at the location of the village and did quite a bit of research to create fictional characters and events. Though all the action takes place in the small quarantined village, the language is lush and the characters vivid.
Like Year of Wonders, Caleb's Crossing is based on a few brief true historic details that Brooks uses to create a powerful female character and weave a truly engaging story. We learn that in 1665 a native Wampanoag man, Caleb Cheeshahteaumauk, graduates from Harvard - true story. Using that small bit of truth, we meet the characters Caleb and the island's minister's daughter, Bethia in Brooks' newest novel. They forge a friendship in their early years, drawn together by a strong curiosity about the natural world and a deep love of learning. As they grow older, religion and family place pressures to keep their friendship a secret. Bethia's formal education goes nowhere. Her frustration and resignation about this is extremely touching and powerful.
These women are survivors in books with a strong sense of place, and I am reminded of Miss July from The Long Song by Andrea Levy even though the time period is very different.

A seventh suspect -- who was on his way to the airport to flee the country before deciding to surrender -- has been arrested in connection with the brutal beating of Bayonne man Dawid Strucinski, police said.
Arrest warrants have been issued for two more suspects, police said.
The 15-year-old boy was arrested at 12:57 a.m. at his 29th Street Bayonne home, said Capt. Walter Rogers. The boy was charged with rioting and endangering an injured victim. Police said the boy used a baby carriage to hit someone during the riot.
Reports said the boy was heading to John F. Kennedy International Airport to take a flight to the Dominican Republic, when his mother called him and persuaded him to return, Rogers said.
The boy was arrested without incident after arriving at his home in a taxi, police said.
"The investigation is still ongoing," said Deputy Chief Ralph Scianni. "There is now a full-court press looking for other two individuals and any other people involved who should be held accountable."
Dawid Strucinski, 22, was left in a coma after he was attacked at around 3 a.m. July 3 by nine males and four girls near the Quick Chek at Broadway and 12th Street.
Strucinski was savagely beaten after he rushed to help a friend who was being harassed. He has been in a coma at the Jersey City Medical Center since the attack.
Police have issued an arrest warrant a 15-year-old Bayonne boy and for Derrick Hilton, 18, of Humphrey Avenue in Bayonne. Both are wanted on charges of rioting and endangering an injured victim, officials said.
Police arrested a 15-year-old boy Tuesday after a parent brought him to headquarters. Five other teens -- two girls, ages 14 and 17, and three 16-year-old boys -- have been arrested in connection with the incident.
The three 16-year-old Bayonne boys are charged with aggravated assault, endangering a victim, and rioting, and one of them is additionally charged with second-degree theft, Deputy Chief Ralph Scianni said.
The teen girls and the 15-year-old boy are charged with endangering an injured victim and with rioting, he said.
Strucinski was also victim of theft, police say.
Anyone with information about this crime should contact Bayonne police detectives at (201) 858-6925 or call the confidential tip line at (877) 900-8477.

Physical Cornhusker defense on collision course with red-hot Sooners offense
NORMAN, Okla. - Kevin Wilson took a relaxed, analytical tone Tuesday as he began breaking down Nebraska's defense. Suddenly, his cadence shifted into a rapid, mano a mano narrative of what he's so far watched on film.
It was as though Wilson, the Oklahoma Sooners' offensive coordinator, had time-traveled ahead to Saturday's Big 12 championship game at Cowboys Stadium, and the duel had already commenced.
"Every play is competitive," Wilson said. "Four guys up front fightin' with our offensive line. Guys are lockin' up receivers, grabbin', muggin', hangin' on to you, makin' you work. You're not going to get an easy pass."
Clearly, the Sooners know they face a different kind of defense against Nebraska. With apologies to Missouri and Texas A&M, who beat Oklahoma, the Cornhuskers defined defense in the Big 12 this season.
They ranked No. 1 in total defense (fifth nationally) and pass defense (second in the country), and collected a conference-high 18 interceptions. Nebraska's only perceived weakness might be allowing 147 yards rushing per game (sixth in the Big 12), but the Sooners' running game could be hampered if injured DeMarco Murray isn't available or at full strength.
A week after their shootout with Oklahoma State, Wilson and the Sooners offense are preparing for a slugfest similar to last year's Big 12 title game when Ndamukong Suh knocked around Colt McCoy and Nebraska nearly knocked off Texas.
"It's like [Suh] never left. They're all very physical, very big guys up front," said offensive tackle Eric Mensik. "It's still going to be a challenge to open lanes and protect Landry."
And on the flip side, OU's Landry Jones statistically matches Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden as the best quarterback Nebraska will have faced.
Wilson said he pored over numbers posted by opposing quarterbacks and found few dents in the Cornhuskers' coverages.
Washington's Jake Locker was a mere 4-of-20 for 71 yards and two interceptions. OSU's Weeden completed 18 of 35 passes for 283 yards - 56 below his average. Texas certainly didn't beat Nebraska through the air; Garrett Gilbert was only 4-of-16 for 62 yards, with 42 coming on one play. The Cornhuskers also harassed Missouri's Blaine Gabbert into a sub-par 18-of-42 performance.
"They are locked in your face, and they keep their eyes on their responsibilities," Wilson said. "They play with a lot of confidence and a lot of swagger, but they also play with a lot of knowledge.
"If they get worked on any play, the next time you come back to it, they've made the adjustment. There's the safety in the right spot, or a linebacker, and they've fixed it."
The Cornhuskers catch the Sooners on a crescendo heading to Arlington. Since losing at Texas A&M, Oklahoma has averaged 48.3 points in victories over Texas Tech, Baylor and Oklahoma State.
"It's been our time to click," wide receiver Ryan Broyles said. "Later in the season, that's when good teams get better, and that's what we've done."

^^^ If you took the time to actually read the petition you will see the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight was specifically mentioned in the letter that is being sent to Keith Kizer & the Nevada Commission. This isn't about a pissed off Floyd fan, this is about a judge dropping the ball twice within the matter of a year. It has nothing to do with Floyd or Manny. It has to do with an incompetent judge and judges in general routinely blowing scorecars whether it be Floyd, Manny, Rios/Abril, P. Williams/Lara or whatever.
But in response to your statement, the Pacquiao/Bradley ruling is a specific example listed in the petition.

She must be blowing Kizer. There's a story out and he defends her score, and basically blames it on the scoring system.
I think the judging system needs to be overhauled. I think we would be better off with the judges watching in a separate room on Television (do they have monitors in front of them already?) Then they don't maintain one view of the fight the entire night.
Also they wouldn't have as much of an audience influence.

I just signed it (only 6 signatures so far) and it's really easy, only takes 30 sec to do it. I signed because of the pacquaio-bradley fight even though i strongly disagree with the draw she scored as well. Boxing doesn't need somebody coming up with crazy scorecards and potentially hurting the sport.

I just created the thing about 15 minutes ago so thats why the signature count is still low. Again, it's not about who is a Floyd fan or who is a Manny fan. Both events were monster PPV events and with the whole world watching CJ Ross embarrassed the entire sport. I watched Bradley/Pacquiao with 2 very casual sports fans and I watch Floyd/Canelo with about 7-8 casual fans. I was the only big time boxing head, and in both instances when they read this ladies score card everyone in the room said, "this is why I dont like boxing". She is a black eye to the sport.
It takes 30 seconds to sign and you dont have to register or anything else. I put a "threat" of a January 1st, 2014 boycott of all boxing telecasts on the letter to Keith Kizer as a threat knowing that the possibility of them losing viewers/MONEY will hopefully make them take this seriously. I just find it unacceptable that a judge is either this unqualified or maybe even taking bribes or something and the commission keeps rolling her out there to judge the biggest matches.

September 20, 2013 - Career Recruit Class #201 Graduates
24 Local Firefighters Graduate State Firefighting Academy
State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan and Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Deputy Director Joseph J. Klucznik are pleased to announce the graduation of the 201st class of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy's forty-five-day Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program on September 20, 2013. "This rigorous professional training provides our newest firefighters with the basic skills to perform their jobs effectively and safely," Coan said. The Massachusetts Firefighting Academy (MFA), a division of the Department of Fire Services, offers this program, tuition-free. The ceremony took place at the Department of Fire Services in Stow, MA.
24 Graduates from 6 Fire Departments
The 24 graduates, all men, represent the 6 departments of Attleboro, Bourne, Lynn, Methuen, Norwood, and Taunton.
Guest Speaker Bruce Gauvin, Career Recruit Firefighter Training Coordinator
The guest speaker was Bruce Gauvin, program coordinator for the Career Recruit Firefighter Training program at the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. He has overseen this program for the past nine years, after a distinguished career in the Providence (RI) Fire Department.
Today's Firefighters Do Far More than Fight Fires
Today's firefighters do far more than fight fires. They are the first ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to a gas leak. They may be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice or who has locked himself in a bathroom. They rescue people from stalled elevators and those who are trapped in vehicle crashes. They test and maintain their equipment, ranging from self-contained breathing apparatus to hydrants to hoses, power tools, and apparatus.
At the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy they learn all these skills and more from certified fire instructors who are also experienced firefighters. Students learn all the basic skills they need to respond to fires and to contain and control them. They are also given training in public fire education, hazardous material incident mitigation, flammable liquids, stress management, confined space rescue techniques, and rappelling. The intensive, 9-week program for municipal firefighters involves classroom instruction, physical fitness training, firefighter skills training and live firefighting practice.
Starting with Class #200, the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy changed its training format from 72 students in an 11-week program to a smaller class size of 24 students that starts every three weeks. There are still 72 students on campus at any one time, but the smaller class size is expected to achieve time efficiencies without compromising learning, and in fact improve education with smaller student/instructor ratios.
Basic Firefighter Skills
Students receive classroom training in all basic firefighter skills. They practice first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fire attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fires to multiple-floor or multiple room structural fires. Upon successful completion of the Recruit Program all students have met national standards of National Fire Protection Association 1001 and are certified to the level of Firefighter I and II, and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operational Level by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications.

Student Takes Home Mitchell Award
Department of Theatre and Dance graduating senior Isaac Gomez is a second prize recipient for the George H. Mitchell Awards for Academic Excellence.
Gomez took home the $5,000 prize for his work with The Women of Juárez, an ethnographic research and performance project detailing the many atrocities and homicides perpetuated on the female population in the Mexican border town. The project led Gomez to travel to Juárez to interview several women affected by the local violence, and his play was presented as part of Cohen New Works Festival presented by the University Co-op in March 2013. "We hoped to honor those stories and lives in ways that haven't been done before," says Gomez. "The critiques in play making go along with theatre for social change."
"I have rarely encountered a student with Isaac's range of artistic talents and intellectual ability." says Theatre and Dance Lecturer Andrew I. Carlson, who nominated Gomez for the award. "He is a leader in the department and in the larger UT community; I believe he can become a leader in the American theatre for years to come."
The Mitchell Awards are annual prizes from the University Co-op honoring students who have made an uncommon contribution to their fields of study by way of research project, literary work, musical composition, humanitarian project or similar undertaking. The awards were developed by University Co-op President and CEO George Mitchell and the Co-op's Chairman of the Board, Dr. Michael Granof.

Re: Disappointed in the new NookFroide Dec 6, 2014 1:33 PM (in response to RucknRun)
Key point: "luckily the tablet was easy to return".
I can't fathom why the NOOK Sammie line doesn't include 16 GB models. Definitely a miss, for me.
Re: Disappointed in the new Nookpetesnook Dec 6, 2014 11:24 PM (in response to Froide)
I'm thinking perhaps the vaunted B&N marketing department predetermined a price point that would interest buyers and got the best hardware they could for that price. Obviously 16gb would have cost more, probably about $50. That might have been considered too much, although a choice of two models would have been preferred. Maybe they had sales results from the HD that also pointed them to the 8gb only model.
By the way, I am very pleased with my 7-inch SGTN. It is a very capable upgrade in so many ways to my 4 year old (as of today) NC. I love my larger, higher resolution HD+, and will continue to use it for TV, videos, games and some home reading use, but the 7 inch form is so much handier for portability, especially since the SGTN is about 40% lighter and 3/4 inch shorter and narrower than the NC. The NC has been relegated to backup and grandchildren uses.

Anything is an upgrade from the nook color. It was a huge disappointment
for me.

Surprisingly Accurate Digital LC Meter
This is PIC16F628 and pic16f84 base inductance/capacitance meter design by Phil Rice VK3BHR.Measuring range is from 0 to >0.1uF for capacitance and 0 to >10mH for inductance.Expected accuracy is +/- 1% of reading +/- 0.1pF or +/- 10nH.This project is a combination of two stolen designs.The oscillator design originally came from the AADE LC meter web page. It uses an LM311 comparator with positive feedback to make a parallel LC oscillator with digital output. It seems to oscillate readily over a wide range of L and C values. Hopefully, it follows the "well known formula for resonant frequency

Hi, I'm Bern García, born in Venezuela and canaries parents, I'm graphic designer and cake designer since 2008. My beginnings in this sweet world have been as many as a hobby, making cakes for friends and family and thanks to my studies, I could fit me in sugarcraft on Spain.
I have won several contests of cakes decorated of the most recognized events of sugarcraft in Spain: Expotarta 2012 and 2013, Sugar'09 2011 and 2012, also I have obtained the first Award in Creative Zaragoza 2012 and third in the first wedding cakes contest organized by the Association of Cakes in Madrid in 2012.
I've always been self-taught and most of my training on sugarcraft I owe to Internet and a lot of hours of practice, also I have received training from top professionals as Alan Dunn (England), Molly (Italy), Chapix Cookies (Mexico), Carlos LISCHETTI (Argentina) and Loleta Linares (Spain), all of them very well known in Spain and the world.

A 24-year-old man says he had no expectation that a surveillance video he posted of himself getting pepper-sprayed in the face at a Duluth convenience store by another customer would be widely viewed, the Duluth News Tribune reports.
But the newspaper reports that the four-minute clip has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times around the Internet – and sparked an online debate about racism.
In the video, Rosenwinkel, who is white, is irked that he is being made to wait by an unidentified woman, who is black, ahead of him in line. He attempts to jump ahead of her to buy a pack of cigarettes.
The two trade profanities, and she appears to deliberately slow down her muffins purchase, to Rosenwinkel's frustration. At the end of the clip, the woman appears to fire pepper spray in Rosenwinkel's eyes, and then leaves the store singing "Signed, sealed, delivered …"
"I was happy the woman didn't attack me after she [maced me]," Rosenwinkel told CityPages. "I wouldn't have been able to defend myself. I'm happy she didn't wop me in the head with her sack of muffins."
Rosenwinkel said he got a copy of the video from the store clerk and posted it to YouTube to amuse his friends. He declined to comment on whether he filed a police report, but the News Tribune reports that police say they have no record of the incident.
YouTube commenters have taken up sides, in many case agreeing on one thing – that the incident was racially motivated. But they sharply disagree over which person was in the wrong.
You can check out the clip yourself on YouTube (Warning: the video is full of profanity.)

The work demonstrates the unmistakable value of gastric lavage in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in adults. An attempt was also made to see if the method had any prognostic implications, but without success. At least more can be determined by repeated roentgenologic study, in which the trends in the character of the lesions can be followed. Patients having gastric washings negative for tubercle bacilli frequently became worse, while as many patients having material which was positive for the organisms improved. There is no doubt that the stage of evolution of the disease had more to do with prognosis than the presence or absence of bacilli.
The records of the controls, including those who gave positive and those who gave negative reactions for tubercle bacilli, were thoroughly studied and documented. The author has confirmed the established fact that tubercle bacilli are not found in persons with no evidence of disease

Sydney: Australia's Michael Clarke brought up his triple century shortly after lunch on day three of the second Test against India.
The captain hit a four through mid wicket off Ishant Sharma to bring up the milestone in 431 balls with 37 fours and a six.
Clarke ran and punched the air in joy as he celebrated being just the sixth Australian to reach the milestone.
Before lunch Clarke had passed Don Bradman's score of 270, to hold the best score by an Australian captain in Australia and England's Reginald 'Tip' Foster's mark of 287 in 1903 as the highest score at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Australia were 612-4, a lead of 421 runs over India.

We felt that this project for bringing opera closer to young people could provide a unique and interesting opportunity to create an interactive environment (a video game) based on the symbolism of Claude Debussy's opera Pelléas et Mélisande.
The video game based on Pelléas et Mélisande
The game is played in the first person, with the player representing Pelléas, who is dreaming. The goal is to find Mélisande, his true love.
The game allows the player to move about freely but s/he must follow the clues and signs s/he finds (some are very obvious, others are provided by nature) in order to make events happen and attain the goal. Since this entails following each and every one of the clues, the player explores virtually the whole setting.
Those familiar with the opera know that it is full of symbols and admits of various interpretations. Accordingly, there are many objects, actions and ways of guiding the player in the game which possess a high symbolic content in relation to the work.
The forest, one of the settings in which the player moves about, is of great relevance to the plot, since many major symbolic objects are presented there in the opera. A total of four distinct areas are depicted in the game, linked together by the forest: the cave, the lake, the castle and the river. Symbols to do with the opera, such as the fountain, Gollaud's sword, and so on, are found in these places.
We felt it was important for the whole project to maintain an atmosphere of mystical fantasy (because ultimately it represents a character's imaginary dream world). For this reason we occasionally allowed ourselves some artistic licence by exaggerating certain elements in order make them more easily recognizable: examples are the rings round the fountain, the castle, or the final walk through the cave, in which all the experiences in the forest are summarized in the form of a hallucination.
NOTE: This is a promotional spot of the game. In order too play it, the executable file "UDKInstall-PDream.exe" must be downloaded and installed on the computer (username: liceo; password: liceo2012).
Playing instructions:

S -> back
A -> left

KALAMAZOO, MI — While four surrounding county road commissions have pulled plows off the roads for the night due to poor visibility during the winter storm, the Kalamazoo County Road Commission is continuing to clear roads throughout Monday night.
Johnson said that the road commission's second shift employees are on the roads now. Third-shift employees will take over at midnight and first-shift workers start at 4:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. Seasonal workers and 11 contractors will also begin with the first-shift workers.
Roads that run north and south are drifting badly and causing the most problems, Johnson said. Platted streets and intersections are also a concern.
As with other counties, the amount of overtime pay needed to keep road commission employees working during the storm will affect the road commission's 2014 budget, Johnson said.
"Constant winter maintenance impacts our budget; we have just begun our new budget year Jan 1," she said.
Johnson again wanted to ask residents that they remove their vehicles and trash cans from the roadway since those obstacles are causing difficulties for her crews.
"It has been difficult clearing these areas with the amount of snow and limited space," she said.

Death ruled as accidental drug overdose
The November death of a Celina man has been ruled a case of accidental drug overdose, according to reports from the Mercer County Sheriff's Office.
Nathaniel Heitbrink, 23, 224 Jackson St., was found dead in bed at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 12. Diana Heitbrink reportedly saw her son's vehicle parked at the home when he should have been working at Creative Cabinetry and went to investigate.
The report, issued by Mercer County Coroner Timothy Heinrichs, indicates the presence of three drugs - opiates, the painkiller Fentanyl and tetrahydrocannabinol, the active chemical in cannabis, more commonly known as the source of marijuana.
Initially, Mercer County Chief Deputy Gery Thobe told The Daily Standard there were no signs of foul play and nothing was found at the scene to suggest a possible cause of death. Later reports listed two items - a red wooden box containing drug paraphernalia and a multicolored glass pipe with unspecified residue - had been located in the bedroom along with a cell phone and a partial bottle of water.
Heitbrink had been dead for some time, but the report did not mention how long, according to Thobe.
The body was taken to Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater and later transported to the Montgomery County Coroner's Office in Dayton for autopsy and toxicology tests.
Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey confirmed this morning that the case is now closed.

I've heard more than one person over the past few weeks compare "Lockdown" to "The Breakfast Club." The most obvious similarity being multiple teen stereotypes stuck with each other in a library all day.
Playwright Julia Edwards references Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" through her character Simone (Amanda Mortimore). Edwards was commissioned to write "Lockdown," and I believe she chose to mention Sarte's seminal work for very specific reasons. The doomed trio of "No Exit" hate each other and do not want to be there, but in time they learn to at least tolerate each other, working together on the situation at hand.
High school mirrors the real world. The popular people are the first to chime in, but rarely have something meaningful to offer. The quiet observant outcasts, once confidence sets it, bring insight and forgiveness. LeeAnn (Lily Telford), brags future stardom and Hollywood connections, while New York transplant Rosie (Isabelle Mosbarger) has nothing but contempt for her spoiled, idiotic Southern California classmates. Then there's Mia (Bethany Imonti), who cares only about missing a possible audition and what will happen when she needs to use the bathroom. Eventually Squid (Nathan Sullivan), the juvenile delinquent, assesses the situation.
The school is equipped with hidden cameras and a Department of Defense security system which has locked the students in until an all clear is implemented. They can't get out, so they might as well make the best of things. For the too-cool-for-school Garrett (Alioune Fall), that's hitting on the girls and eventually starting a fist fight with feminist Lex (Casey Hearl). Satan-worshipping Crazy Lily (Jackie Gladden), decides to steal Simone's headphones and iPod and zones out. Class President, Darcy (Josie Sutherland), uses the opportunity to remind every one she is the authority and bosses around her two minions Pigeon (Cami Brown) and Morgan (Kyra Westerberg).
As the hours pass, the meek inherit the library. The humble, peace-making Pigeon is elected the new president. Quiet, nervous Alice (Eliza Wright), reveals the terror of a previous school shooting she was involved in. Was there a shot? Library assistant Vince (Mitchell Harper) swears he heard something, but student administrator Jeremy (Wyatt DeShong) considers his opinion useless and can only berate him as stupid and a "fag."
The superior second act revolves around a substitute teacher that has barricaded herself in the bathroom in fear. Katarina, played brilliantly by Cheyanna Simmons, reminds the students that they are all spoiled and the day will come when their parents will cut them off and they'll need to figure out "how to eat on $3 a day!"
When Crazy Lily goes into diabetic coma, the caged teens finally unite as a community, working together towards the common good of saving a life. There are powerful monologues, funny moments and strong performances by this talented cast of 15. As in the play, this cast is a community. "Lockdown" is a true ensemble piece for young actors and wonderful piece of very real, very raw, slightly PG-rated theater that should resonate deeply to a teen audience.
* MAPA's "Lockdown" continues through March 30; at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Steppingstone Playhouse in Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. Tickets are $12 for adults; $8 for seniors and students (18 and younger), available at www.mauiacademy.org, by calling 244-8760 or by visiting the Customer Service Kiosk at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center.
