High school trainers' minds are always thinking of their students' health
Submitted: 09/30/2016
Play Video
- When you're watching a football game as a fan, most of your attention stays on the field--and that's the case for athletic trainers, too. But the trainers aren't watching plays develop; they're looking out for for injuries. Here in the Northwoods, that's no different.
Sandy Klima never stops thinking during a game.
"Is the ambulance there? Where is the [automated external defibrillator], if I'm not at my home field? If something does happen, who's my first contact? I go through that before every game in my head," Klima said.
The Crandon High School athletic trainer keeps kids safe by constantly thinking a step ahead.
"Would you drop your kid off at a public pool without a lifeguard? No, because you don't want your kid to potentially drown; you want them to be safe. So why is it OK to have kids at football practice, volleyball practice without supervision?" said Klima.
Klima and Laona/Wabeno trainer Courtney Palubicki spend many hours with their schools' sports teams. But they also work a full day at Spine and Sport here in the Northwoods.
"Usually in the afternoons I head out to the high school and cover practices, or if they have games, cover the games verifying between high school, middle school, JV and varsity," said Palubicki.
All that work adds up to a pretty long workweek for the two trainers.
"This is something Sandy and I had to sit down and schedule to make sure we weren't working a crazy amount of hours," said Palubicki.
They might be working long hours, but that doesn't change how attentive the trainers are to concussions in high-impact sports.
"We make sure that all administration, coaches, are aware of our protocols and that we are recognizing if we need to evaluate them right away," said Palubicki.
While on the sidelines, Kilma and Palubicki aren't just watching for injuries to happen--they're also listening.
"'My head is spinning' or 'My head is spinning' or 'I just got my bell rung', those are a lot of buzzwords," said Klima.
The trainers take their jobs very seriously and recognize the impact they can have with the students on and off the field.
"They're so impressionable at this age, and I try and be a role model to them and to set a good example," Kilma said. "If we can set a good example now, in the future they will keep going with those examples."

Inland trout season extended by two weeks
Submitted: 09/26/2016
Play Video
- Outdoor sports in the Northwoods draw thousands of people to its lakes, streams, and ponds each year.
This year one of those popular sports seasons will be extended by two weeks.
"Historically inland trout season closed on September 30th, and beginning this year it will be open for another two weeks until October 15th," said DNR Fisheries Biologist John Kubisiak.
The DNR hopes that extra time will give trout fishermen a few more opportunities.
"The main goal was to simplify the number of regulations and number of regulation categories, increase opportunities where we could to try to just make it easier for anglers to get out and fish," said Kubisiak.

Arnaldur Indridason made his reputation with his creation of Reykjavik's Inspector Erlendur. But he's been mysteriously away for a couple of books as Indridason turned his attention to his hero's underlings. Black Skies concentrates on Sigurdur Óli, a cop as stubborn and dissatisfied as his boss, though in different ways.
Uncertainly facing the break-up of an important relationship and doubting his commitment to policing, Óli, doing a favour for a friend, finds himself linked to a wife-swap scene, followed by a murder and eventually a connection with a major banking fraud.

Through one of the off-road forums, I heard that Maliba Lodge wanted to investigate the 4×4 trails in their area and offered my assistance. All was set up and pretty soon I headed for Ts'ehlanyane National Park to boldly go where no vehicle has gone before. At the time I did not know how true those words would be!
The original plan was to explore the tracks in two vehicles, but due to an unfortunate mishap, the second vehicle had to be withdrawn. This meant taking extra care not to get into trouble on these trails, as there was no vehicle to assist should there be a recovery situation. It has been an extra-ordinary wet season and rained almost every night during my stay at Maliba. It made for some interesting off-road driving the next few days, but the driving conditions were probably at its worse and should only improve in dryer conditions. Read more

Oppose Anti-Diplomacy House Resolution on Iran
Jan 31, 2014
Please oppose any resolution which would undermine our diplomats' efforts to secure a comprehensive agreement that guards against a nuclear-armed Iran and a devastating war.
According to press reports, Rep. Engel (D-NY) is set to introduce an Iran resolution with his colleagues in early February, which would tie the hands of our diplomats with unrealistic demands for a final agreement on Iran's nuclear program.
Even a non-binding resolution would undermine our diplomats to have Congress set unrealistic preconditions for a final nuclear accord.
While the text of this new resolution currently under negotiation by several members of Congress has not yet been released, it is widely expected to mirror language from the proposed draft of the Cantor-Hoyer resolution leaked last year.
The most alarming part of the legislation calls for the dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program, which is widely understood by non-proliferation experts to be a non-starter for Iran.
Leaked draft of Cantor/Hoyer resolution as of Dec 12, 2013:
"it is the sense of the House of Representatives that it should be the policy of the United States to seek the verifiable end to Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its capability to develop or acquire a nuclear weapon, including by securing a comprehensive agreement between the P5+1 countries and Iran that requires dismantlement of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, including enrichment and reprocessing capabilities, such that Iran is prevented from pursuing both the uranium and plutonium pathways to a nuclear weapon."

Conference play arrives in a big way this weekend for the No. 12 Texas Longhorns as they travel up to Stillwater, the hostile home of the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Plenty of storylines to watch for in this game that could determine whether Texas goes 4-0 for the fifth time in six years.
Neither of these teams are short on mystery heading into this heavily anticipated tilt. Oklahoma State's head coach has yet to rule out freshman Wes Lunt (knee) in favor of dual-threat quarterback J.W. Walsh. And Texas head coach Mack Brown has been mum on whether he'll be starting RB Joe Bergeron (shoulder) or if leading-tackler Jordan Hicks (hip) will be ready to go come Saturday.
What is for certain is that these are two very talented teams on both sides of the ball and the result will give us our first fair assessment of either team's postseason aspirations.
Here are the keys to Texas pulling out a road win over the Cowboys and putting them one step closer to re-establishing themselves as a national power.

I often wonder how we've gotten to the stage where we rely so heavily on convenience food. We want food and we want it fast but unfortunately that means we've compromised our health, taste buds and are way too ready to reach for the junky fat ridden fast food, shunning what's fresh and natural. While processed fast food can satisfy an urge, I find it never really gets to the core of the matter, often leaving an indelible 'ick' factor post consumption.
My weakness has always been iced desserts – ice cream, sorbets, frozen yogurt, milkshakes – and yes, I will admit to, on occasion succumbing to a McFlurry or the like before I decided to cut dairy from my diet, so believe me, I know the attraction to such treats! I also know, those very same sugar laden, fat-filled desserts are totally bad for you. Plus, you can't deny they are always tinged with too much regret to ever be fully enjoyed anyway.
What if I told you though, that you need not give up your soft serve habit. What if I told you I may just have the answer to those soft serve prayers and what if I told you it just happens to be a whole lot healthy. Good for you, good for planet, good for everybody.
I've called it a smoothie soft serve pudding because that's exactly what its like – dessert, drink, treat, snack, breakfast, all rolled into one. You could use a straw but that sounds like way too much effort to me. I prefer to scoop it up with a spoon and really make a meal out of it -it also feels a lot more indulgent this way.
I'd be happy to have this for breakfast, as an afternoon or post workout pick me up or even as an after dinner dessert because this is an anytime treat – sans guilt, sans colossal calories with all the sweetness you'll ever need. Make the swap and you'll not only see the difference. You'll be the difference.
Mango & Banana Smoothie Soft Serve Pudding Recipe
1 frozen banana
1 frozen mango
1/2 cup pourable coconut milk
- Peel the banana, slice into medium sized pieces, place in a freezer bag or glass Tupperware and freeze overnight.
- Do the same with the mango.
- The next day put the frozen banana and mango and *coconut milk into a blender and blend until completely smooth.

The probation revocation hearing for a man arrested on drunken driving charges while on shock probation in connection with a deadly DUI crash was reset Monday morning.
Cody File did not have an attorney when he appeared in court, so the hearing could not be held.
A public defender was appointed to represent File.
In 2011, File received a 14-year sentence for a DUI crash on River Road that killed 18-year-old Caroline Minks.
File spent a few months behind bars and was released on shock probation.
File was again arrested on DUI charges last month in Henry County, leading to the hearing to revoke his probation in Jefferson County.
Friday will mark five years since the crash.
"He had a chance to make up for what he's done. Instead he could've killed someone else's best friend," said Minks' best friend, Hannah Latzko.
"He took my, our daughter's life. I don't see how he can live with himself," said Minks' mother, Amanda Lay.
File will be back in court on June 6.
His bond remains $25,000 full cash.

Marketplace Plan Comparison Worksheet
Resource from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Updated October 2015.
We have updated our tool for in-person consumer assistance staff to use when helping consumers evaluate and select a plan, called the Marketplace Plan Comparison Worksheet [Spanish Version].
After consumers obtain a tax credit determination, their health plan search tends to narrow down to a handful of plans that fall into a target price range (often three to five plans). This worksheet is intended for assisters to use with consumers to note the differences between several plans, compare and contrast them, and identify which plan best meets their needs.
Overview of the Marketplace Plan Comparison Worksheet
Healthcare.gov and several state Marketplace websites allow you to select multiple plans in a "comparison" feature, or at least click on each plan individually to learn more about the plan's details. However, these sites often do not allow you to include all aspects of a plan, including information on provider network or formulary. This worksheet allows you to compile these details side-by-side in a user-friendly way to help consumers walk through the pros and cons of each plan.
The worksheet includes fields to compare details on each plan, including:
- The insurance company name, insurance plan name, metal tier of the plan, and plan type (HMO, PPO, POS, etc).
- The insurance plan's monthly premium (after the tax credit is applied).
- The deductible amount (which is the amount a consumer must pay themselves before the plan begins to start paying for services and the consumer only has to pay the copay or coinsurance). The plan may have separate values for a medical deductible and a drug deductible, or one combined deductible. If it is a family plan, you can note whether it is an aggregate or embedded deductible.
- The out-of-pocket maximum (which is the maximum amount that a consumer would be required to pay in cost-sharing expenses at in-network providers in a given year. Once a consumer reaches this amount, the plan will pay for all other in-network expenses for the rest of the year).
- Copays and coinsurance amounts for commonly used services, such visits to the primary care provider, specialist, emergency room, inpatient hospitalization as well as for filling a prescription for a generic, preferred brand name, non-preferred brand name, or specialty medication. Be sure to note whether or not the deductible applies to that service by checking the corresponding gray box.
NOTE: If the plan covers out-of-network providers, you can note the out-of-network copay/ coinsurance in the same box. For example: specialist visit with in-network copay of $10 and out-of-network coinsurance of 50% could be listed as $10/50%.
- Copay/coinsurance information for up to three more benefits/services based on the consumer's interests and health care needs in the rows marked "Other service."
- Whether or not the consumer's current doctor(s) or preferred hospital or hospital network are in the plan's network.
- Whether or not the consumer's prescription medication is covered on the plan's formulary, and which drug tier it is listed under (generic, preferred brand name, non-preferred brand name, or specialty).
- Other considerations: any other considerations that are important to the consumer, for example, whether or not each plan includes coverage for pediatric dental care or chiropractic services, or how many providers are in network near the consumer's zip code that speak the consumer's preferred language, or what the limit is on the number of visits allowed for physical therapy.

The effort by commercial interests to increase their striped bass quota was denied today by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), which opted for status quo. New Jersey was solidly opposed to the increase, and even the federal agencies (NMFS and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) opposed the commercial increase pushed by New York.
Most boaters remained locked in port due to the gale warnings, but that's dropped down to small craft warnings. The shift from calming northwest winds to the north has resulted in a rough sea, but surfcasters continued to do well. Some party boat striper skippers are still calling off trips due to the rough seas forecast, but Thursday looks like a possibility.
Allen Riley of South Plainfield finally saw some action in the Sandy Hook surf as he plugged a short bass and lost two others before daylight on a Mann's Super-Stretch 1-Minus swimming plug before dawn, There was bait in the wash, but no anglers in sight in either direction.
Betty & Nick's in Seaside Park reported a good bite of stripers both in town and south of the bathing beach in Island Beach State Park. Lance Erwin, a 30-year surfcasting veteran, said Avas and teasers cast to the sandbars were a sure thing.
There was just a brief showing when I fished in Bay Head around sun-up. Large bass started rolling right in front of me, but only continued doing so for about 15 minutes as I quickly released stripers of 29 and 30 inches plus one a bit shorter -- and a big bluefish. The first bass was on a 1 1/2-ounce Deadly Dick, while the rest took a black teaser on a non-tangling rig set up by Joe Melillo of Castaways Tackle in Point Pleasant.
Capt. Dave Bender of Jenny Lee in Manasquan sent the following report about his last canyon trip of the season:
"Capt's Jimmy Gahm, Sean Carton, Rick Petschauer, Kevin Gerrity and Dave Bender took longtime customer Jaimie Borenios and his pal Rod to the Lindenkohl Canyon for the last tuna trip of 2010. Although the head boats were putting together a catch in the Hudson a few days before, the guys decided to head south for the warmer water. Arriving at the canyon at 12:30 am it was obvious to me that this was going to be a tough night. We did have halfbeaks around the boat all night as well as porpoise balling them up, but we had no squid or any readings on the machine at all. After a very long night we were greeted in the morning to tuna busting around us chasing the halfbeaks, so after a few attempts to run and gun we decided to match the hatch. After rigging a dozen ballyhoo we started trolling. We had several missed bites right away and then bingo, a nice shearwater came to the boat. It seemed that the sheerwaters were honed in on the halfbeaks, as were the tuna. We could not get away from them.......##%!!!... after a cup a coffee and a cinna- bun we ran to the bluefin grounds and within 30 seconds of marking a huge bait ball Kevin was on with a nice bluefin on a butterfly jig. We hooked a second one right away and caught three nice bluefins, several bluefish and Freddie's favorite.. the spiny dogfish. We had an awesome time as always and a great ride home. We are already looking forward to 2011 and remind everyone to book early the fish are here in June."

Rolly and Liebermeister,1 two German investigators, have undertaken to discover experimentally the causes of the destruction of bacteria in the small intestine. Rabbits were employed by these investigators. Their first effort was to find out if the contents of the small intestine were sterile or not. They showed by the number of colonies on agar plates that there were only a small number of bacteria present, there being more in the lower ileum. They next wished to discover if bacteria introduced into the small intestine were killed or their growth hindered. Various kinds of bacteria were introduced into the intestine, the stomach having been previously cut off to prevent the entrance of its contents. The results were the same with all the bacteria employed. It was found that the bacteria, if not too many, were destroyed in part by the intestine, some of them being removed by peristalsis, so

Tony Danza, Ami Dolenz
It's amazing what low expectations can accomplish for a movie. In this case it can make the film bearable—even enjoyable on occasion—which is something of an accomplishment considering that the count was 0-2 even before the credits started rolling.
The thought of Danza in material that has been retreaded more than your favorite pair of shoes doesn't exactly make you want to beeline it for a theater near you. But gone is his grating Brooklyn boxer shtik. He gives a funny performance, looking every bit the horrified father of a 15-year-old daughter, Dolenz, whose impossibly thick glasses and glaring braces are removed to the accompaniment of a hormonal surge of eye-popping proportions.
The manager of a Southern California rock radio station, Danza comes back from a convention only to find that Dolenz, with the help of his girlfriend, Catherine (Peggy Sue Got Married) Hicks, has been transforming herself into a teen temptress. While her ratings with the boys are soaring, the station's plummet, as Danza spends all of his time attempting to exert total control over his daughter's social life. "You can't stop life from happening," pleads Hicks. "No, but I can slow it down a bit," retorts Danza. That's about as involved or sophisticated as anything gets.
But how bad can a movie be when it has Wallace Shawn, perfectly cast as a maniacal psychiatrist whom Danza constantly consults as Dolenz gets closer and closer to the act of having sex? It's also a bit of a kick to see what ex-Monkee Micky's 20-year-old daughter, Ami, looks like (sexy) and whether she can act (the jury's still out). The script, which was written by first timers Seth Winston and Michael J. Nathanson, lacks some of the dimension that would have made Dolenz and friends seem more like real characters than caricatures. But with the help of a diverse sound track—25 songs, from Frankie Avalon's "Venus" to Oingo Boingo's "Winning Side"—director Stan (Mr. Mom) Dragoti keeps things lively and makes this adolescent paean to popularity relatively painless.

In this movie, we're going to talk about how to go about finding the document root. It's a very important folder directory that we need to locate, so that we know where to put our web files as we work. We're working with WampServer, assuming you installed it in the default location, the document root is going to be inside local C drive, inside the WAMP folder or wherever you installed WAMP. And then from there, it's the www folder, that is the file that is going to be served up by Apache. Apache is looking at this directory and returning pages from this directory. So all of our project files need to go here.
Now there is also another way that you can get there which is from the WampServer menu over here at the side, it was www directory. That is our document root. It opens up the exact same thing. And index.php, well, that's this test page, that's right here for local host. If you go to local host, you'll open up Firefox and it loads local host, whhich is the same thing as local host index.php. That's the default page is index.php so it's implied.
So that is what's loading up here, is that page. So that shows you the relationship between where files are stored on the hard drive and where we access them in the browser. Local host is what we used to get to Apache, and to get to this document root. And then we provide whatever else we need after that to be able to locate the file inside whatever nested directories might be there. So you're going to want to put all of the PHP project files that we create, in this www directory. And then you'll access them from the browser by typing it this way, not by double-clicking on the file.
It's very important, we need to tell Apache that it has to process these files. So we don't want to just open up PHP on it's own. We have to get there by going through Apache, so that Apache can interpret them and return good HTML to us. Now, one other note that I want to make is that it's different from where I'm going to be on the Mac. And I'm going to be demonstrating everything on the Macintosh. On the Mac, I'm going to be locating those files by using localhost/ and then tilde and then my username. For on Windows, though, it's just going to be the localhost part. So anytime you see me start to type that longer string on the Mac followed by some other file names, you'll just take out that username portion and just use localhost/ and then whatever comes after that, because on the Mac, my document root is in a slightly different place.
But if you keep that one change in mind, you won't get lost.

Two students from Christ Our King-Stella Maris School competed recently in the Southern Region Gathering-(qualifying event for the Irish Dance Championship) held Nov. 30-Dec. 2, 2012 in New Orleans. Fifth-grader-Addie Bachrodt was representing Drake School of Irish Dance and third grader McKenna Young represented Glor Na Daire Academy of Irish Dance.
Bachrodt competed against dancers in her age group (under 10) from 15 states in the southern region U.S. She placed ninth and qualified for Nationals, which will be held in Los Angeles, Calif., and Worlds, which is slated for Boston, Mass. later this year. She dances with the Drake School of Irish Dance which is based out of Atlanta but is also opening a school here in Charleston this month.
Though it was Youngs first experience dancing at this level and she is the youngest dancer to ever represent Charleston at this event, she danced admirably and was a big part of her teams success. Not yet old enough to qualify for the World Championships, Young is being considered for inclusion in her teams National Championship team. She has a promising future in Irish dance with Glor na Daire and with her hard work and dedication, she will continue as a rising star in the program.

The Sarah Silverman Program
Feb 04, 2010TV Network - Comedy Central
How to describe Sarah Silverman's brand of comedy? Off-beat? Off-kilter? Off the wall? Laugh out loud and yet patently offensive? Even if we can't quite find the right words to describe Sarah and her Comedy Central show, we do know that "funny" and "vaguely ridiculous" have to fit in there somewhere. Season two of her show finished up quite some time ago (December 2008 by our count), but we're betting that Sarah will be just as odd, just as weird, and just as hysterical when season three starts up.

What were you saying about not seeing Blacks in positions of power in the North?
In the North we never really saw, um, African-Americans in any position of power, except in the church. Ah, even at the corner stores, the supermarkets, African-Americans were not in a position of power. Ah, you had other people who would sell you food and sell you vegetables, whatever. When you went to church, quite often you would have a Black pastor, if you went to a Black, Black church. But, if you went, perhaps to a Catholic church, you would not necessarily see, you know, African-American priests up there preaching to you, or talking to you, or doing the sacraments. So, I guess Malcolm made us say, simply, "There is a man in the position of power. Ah, and he's exerting power and he's spreading that power around, and he's saying, here's some power for you, it's spelled, p-o-w-e-r!" It is indeed Black Power, because I is, you know Black, um, excuse my English. Um, and we understood that almost, in some very instinctive fashion, because we extended our hands very fast and said simply, "I'm going to be seen," whatever. So, when we simply got naturals in the early sixties, and I walked across, ah, um, a street in Harlem at a hundred and thirty fifth street, I stopped traffic with this natural. Now, you must remember, the natural is not big, it was, like, not a huge natural as many of us got to be known for, um, but it was a natural, and people recognized it was different. And, the taxi cab driver would stop and as soon as I got across the street, he would lean out and go, "Oogaa booga booga," you know. And, I would like draw myself up real, real proudly, you know, and keep on going, ah, in a very real fashion. But, my father said, "Girl, what's your problem? Now, why don't you get married and have some babies, and move to Long Island or Connecticut or some place." Um, and we would say, "You just don't understand, ah, period." And, but, but, what we understood is that we have been released, um, ah, the power energy had been released in the North via Malcolm. Ah, the energy that says "You can be what ever you wanted to be. You can do whatever you want to do. You want to write a play, girl, write a play, write a play tonight, bring it out tomorrow, and do that." And I did that. And someone says, "Are you a playwright," and I said, "Mm hmm, mm hmm." They said, "Isn't it strange the connection between the poet and the playwright?" And I would say, "Mm hmm," you know. They said, "Isn't it really interesting that you write poet- you write a, you write plays and poetry." And I said, "Mm hmm." And, I said, "When do you want that play?" They said, "Tomorrow." I said, "No problem." Went home. Set up. I wrote a play, typed a play. Brought it back the next day, and said, "Isn't it amazing the connection between the poet and the playwright?" and walked out. Burst out laughing going down the steps, because you could do whatever you wanted to do. He had released that kind of energy within us, and, we still have it. I mean I still have that energy that says, simply- And everybody I know who came from that period has that energy also, too.
Cut. Okay.

Top Definition
When an atractive female thinks she is far more beautiful than all other women around her. Because of this she thinks she deserves to be treated superiorly, and makes demands on those around her. Her attitude is very centered on herself, but she suffers from very low self-esteem in actuality. Women suffering from pretty girl syndrome are often treated badly by the men they care about the most.

I was out in Columbus this weekend and just had to get a trout fix on the way home. The original plan was to fish the Mad River, along with a bunch of warmwater creeks, but I wasn't able to sneek in as much fishing time as I thought, but I did manage to make a stop at the Clear Fork of the Mohican River on the way home. Second time I ever fished it.
The upper creek was high and muddy, but still barely fishable if using streamers. I got a couple aggressive little browns up there. I wanted to fish the lower river also but it was completely blown out. Nice time on the water.

Project turns volunteerism into public policy in Ecuador
03 December 2003
Esmeraldas, Ecuador: The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme through its "Support to Intra-City Volunteerism Project (ICV)" has included volunteerism as a tool for urban development in Esmeraldas, Ecuador.
Mayor Ernesto Estupiñan will inaugurate the "Municipal Volunteer Office on 4 December, eve of International Volunteer Day (IVD) 2003.
Esmeraldas, a coastal city of approximately 140,000 inhabitants, is one of three pilot cities for the initiative, the other two being Falmouth, Jamaica and Amran, Yemen. The global ICV initiative aims to explore ways where volunteers can help in delivering public services. In many cases, volunteers can "fill the gap" between what local governments can provide and actual needs of communities.
The programme seeks to change the perception that volunteer efforts could substitute for services provided by local administrations. A concept has been developed to create partnerships with municipalities to increase the impact of public investments. According to Piedad Ortiz, a national UN Volunteer, "the communities have learned to organize themselves to change their surroundings and to better articulate their demands to local authorities".
UN Volunteer Berta Brusilovsky, who coordinates the ICV effort in Ecuador, estimates that through the volunteer and private sector contributions channeled in the project, over $170,000 in public works have been completed, with less than $30,000 in actual expenses incurred by the municipality. To date, four parks have been renovated, using community labour, materials donated by the private sector including playground equipment, along with technical support and tools from the municipality.

Training is a major responsibility. Whether you're a training professional, a veteran of company training, or have just been asked to take over or start up a training program, you have a lot riding on your shoulders. Just think about all the different kinds of training employees need throughout their careers:
You can probably add many more topics to this list. There's no doubt that employee training is an ongoing need in every company. Unfortunately, however, it's not always a top priority. As the person now responsible for training in your organization, you can bring employee learning to the top of the priority list—and become a hero in the process.
How can you accomplish such a feat? By turning yourself into a skilled trainer who inspires lifelong learning in company employees at every level and who keeps up-to-date on the ever-changing and always innovative training industry.
Building the Best Training Program will show you how to create—and run—an effective learning program that motivates and trains your workforce to be the best in your industry. This guide is a one-stop resource for all your training needs. Use it to help you become a trainer who makes learning an engaging and enjoyable experience for your trainees.
Employees will look forward to learning
new skills and reinforcing old ones, and managers will look forward to the increased profits that your
well-trained workforce will produce.
One of the first challenges trainers face is a resistance to training from both employees and
management. Employees are frustrated at taking time away from their jobs, and managers aren't
convinced that time spent training is time well-spent.
You can convince both groups that training is crucial by proving to them that training doesn't
take employees away from their work; training is, in fact, a crucial part of their work. In order to
remain competitive in today's global marketplace, it is vital that your company's workforce maintains
the best skills and know-how to produce the best products and services. That means initial
training to get up to speed and continual training in all new technologies, systems, or methods that
bring more efficiency, more features, and better services.
Conversely, a poorly trained workforce is more likely to turn out poor-quality products. Even if
employees receive top-notch initial training, your company can fall behind in the competitive
marketplace if employees don't continue to learn how to do their jobs better.
Training affects the bottom line in every department. Here are just a few examples:
In short, an effective overall learning program for your company is a good return on investment
(ROI). In fact, ROI analysis is an integral part of effective training evaluation because it gives specific
measurements to the financial impact of training on the company's bottom line. ROI answers the
question "For every dollar the company invests in training, how many dollars does the company get
To justify the need for training in your company, consider that in order to thrive in today's business
world, your company needs to depend on employee education to promote six critical interests:
The American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) conducts an annual "State of the Industry" survey, which reveals what companies are doing for training, how much they're spending, and what they're reaping in return. Spending on training may fluctuate from year to year, but the overall trend is companies that are more committed to keeping their workforces well-trained and up-to-date see the best returns on their investments.
ASTD's "State of the Industry" identifies the following training trends:
The survey also reveals that most companies use all three methods of delivering training in a blended learning approach.

Your Take: Is College Worth It?
|Email Print
After our recent series of interviews with college savings expert, I started to wonder about the value of college. It's an issue we've discussed in the past (verdict was yes… depending on what you studied of course! But we also had a Devil's Advocate post explaining why college isn't worth it.) but with college costs rising to nearly astronomical rates, it's no longer automatic. The Economist, in 2010, looked at how a "PhD is often a waste of time." in 2011, the New York Times' David Segal looked at how law school was a losing game. When people point to law school and PhDs as "not being worth it" then it calls into question the idea of higher education.
Looking back to my college years, I felt that college was worth it. I graduated, got a good job in the defense industry, and had I followed that track to its eventual conclusion, I'd say I would've had a successful professional career. Based on what I do now, I suspect my post-secondary education probably has a smaller impact but an impact nonetheless. There's something to be said about academic adversity, even if it's not fun to experience. 🙂

Philadelphia Flyers (21-10-4) @Pittsburgh Penguins (21-11-4)
7:00 pm/et
Consol Energy Center – Pittsburgh, PA
What else is there to say? Even if this wasn't Talbot and Jagr's first game back in Pittsburgh as members of the Flyers, it would be a huge game. Whenever the Penguins and Flyers play it's a huge game. The two teams have almost identical records. They're tied in points, but the Pens have played one more game. The Flyers are fourth in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins and fifth. Both teams are two points behind the New York Rangers for the division lead. Evgeni Malkin trails Claude Giroux by two points for the NHL scoring lead. This is as big as a game in December gets.
Season Series: 0-1-0.
Last meeting that counted: December 8, 2011. Flyers won 3-2.
What we said in our recap:
Let's see. Without their captain, and two top defenseman the Pens lost 3-2 while playing like piss in the first 30 minutes of the game.
Know Your Enemy: Broad Street Hockey
What they're saying:
I've never been intimidated in Pittsburgh and I'm willing to put my life savings (it's not much, but whatever) on the line and say I never will be intimidated there. Pretty funny that you guys think you can be all big and bad, though.
Pittsburgh Penguins Notes:
Sidney Crosby will be out for a while.
Evgeni Malkin has six goals and 12 assists in his last eight games.
There are no major injury updates.
Philadelphia Flyers Notes:
Sean Leahy of Puck Daddy with a great post on Jagr.
A transcript of Jagr's talk with the media today.
It looks like there will be a Max Talbot tribute video tonight. Classy.
Favorite Philadelphia Flyers Image, Photoshop, Gif or Video:
"Evgeni Malkin says 'Take that!'"
Cheer for whoever you want. Boo whoever you want. Just make some noise. Not because Jagr is back, not because Talbot is back, but because this is a huge game between two bitter rivals. This is going to be a tough game, emotionally and physically. The Flyers are a talented hockey team. The Penguins are a talented hockey team. It's the second-last Penguins game of 2011 and it'll be a great one.
The Penguins have won four games in-a-row. The Flyers have lost four of their last five.
Buckle up.
Do It.
Go Pens.

Assured Response (Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan #3)by Joe Weber
New threats require new weapons. New villains require new heroes. The time is the near future. Osama Bin Laden has been succeeded by a generation of even deadlier terrorists who will stop at nothing in their fanatical quest to destroy the United States. Conventional security is no longer enough. Former military pilots Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan are the government's newest weapons--operatives so secret that their very existence is denied by the officials who hired them. Armed with the most up-to-date technology and equipment, their mission is to prevent a plan of nuclear holocaust that will begin at the Canadian border and explode in the centers of American power. They have their work cut out for them. Foremost among their foes are Saeed Shayhidi, a billionaire Iranian "businessman" and mass murderer, far more sophisticated and sadistic than Bin Laden himself; Khaliq Farkas, a mysterious and ever-elusive terrorist, bearing a barbaric grudge; and Zheng-Yen Tsung, the powerful Chinese official who may be the mastermind behind it all. From a shocking sarin attack on a legendary ocean liner to the stalking of chemical plants and oil refineries by aircraft filled with explosives, no attack is too insidious, no symbol of strength and freedom immune. For Dalton and Sullivan, their expertise has never been more necessary--their bravery never more needed--than in a world where unrepentant evil requires an assured response.
Dancing with the Dragon (Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan #2)by Joe Weber
In a page-turning techno-thriller from start to cliff-hanging finish, bestselling author Joe Weber delivers a gripping plot that could have been torn from tomorrow's headlines. During routine night operations off Southern California, an F/A-18 from the USS Abraham Lincoln is inexplicably blown from the sky. The Pentagon wants to throw a blanket over the incident, but then another navy fighter jet is mysteriously destroyed in midair. The president orders an investigation to find out who is responsible for the attacks-and why. Tagged for the job: ex-CIA operatives and former military pilots Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan. As Dalton and Sullivan proceed, they are surprised to learn that the loss of the navy jets is just the latest in a series of seemingly unrelated and previously unexplained losses of American combat aircraft. Yet their investigation soon uncovers a deadly conspiracy that seems to lead directly to the heart of Beijing.
Defcon One (Steve Wickham #1)by Joe Weber
In this explosive bestseller by the author of Primary Target, the U. S. is poised on the brink of Armageddon. Glasnost has failed. Russia is economically desperate, and has launched the "first strike" in what may become World War III. Only one man knows the extent of the impending horror--a CIA operative trapped in the Kremlin. . .
Honorable Enemies (Steve Wickham #3)by Joe Weber
A tranquil day in Hawaii is shattered when a helicopter--disguised in civilian colors--opens fire on a ship, killing Japanese tourists. As terrorist attacks on Japanese and Americans continue, CIA operations officer Stephen Wickham and FBI agent Susan Nakamura are assigned to track down the perpetrators--before history can repeat a tragic confrontation neither can forget.
Primary Target (Scott Dalton and Jackie Sullivan #1)by Joe Weber
Tom Clancy called him "one of America's new thriller stars," and former Marine pilot Joe Weber has maintained his reputation for superb stories of conflict, courage, and high-speed adventure. Now, he presents a shocking new scenario as two enemies of America -- one old, one new -- join forces to bring the U.S. to its knees. As the once powerful former Soviet Union descends into social and economic collapse, a group of hard-line Communists has devised a strategy to return their country to it's former glory. In league with the most ruthless militant extremists of the Middle East, they will hatch a plot to eliminate the one person with the power to stop them -- the president of the United States. It is a scene played out many times before in the annals of international conflict -- with the same opponents squaring off in different circles. But this time, America isn't declaring war against terrorism. The terrorists are declaring war on America.
Rules of Engagement (Brad Austin Series #1)by Joe Weber
Marine fighter pilot Brad Austin was caught in a war that divided America. Snagged in government red tape that inhibited the military. And trapped in a one-on-one air battle with the Vietnamese ace who had terrorized the skies for years.... Then Austin decided to break the rules. One of the most exciting and provocative war novels of our time, Rules of Engagement enters the hearts and minds of America's fighting men--and the difficult choices they were forced to make. Joe Weber, author of the bestselling DEFCON One, is a former Marine Corps pilot whose experience in Vietnam lends startling authenticity to this electrifying tale of courage and dishonor.
Shadow Flight (Steve Wickham #2)by Joe Weber
Shadow Flight is a chilling international scenario of Soviet denial and American desperation. A U.S.B-2 Stealth bomber, Shadow 37, has disappeared while on a training mission. Its hijackers are unknown but its destination is Cuba. The salvation of U.S. technological secrets rests in the hands of CIA agent Steve Wickham. His mission: Recovery of Shadow 37.
Targets of Opportunity (Brad Austin Series #2)by Joe Weber
Hailed as "one of America's new thriller stars" by Tom Clancy, author Joe Weber captured national attention with his riveting debut, DEFCON One, a New York Times bestseller. A former Marine Corps pilot, Weber turned firsthand experience into explosive human drama, charged with gripping authenticity. Now, with Targets of Opportunity, Weber soars to new heights. The Vietnam War has reached a crucial turning point. Marine aviator Brad Austin (introduced in the bestselling Rules of Engagement) is assigned the most dangerous mission of his career. Recruited by the CIA, Austin must master the controls of a North Vietnamese MiG jet--then, stripped of his military identity and disguised as a Russian pilot, fly the MiG behind enemy lines. If he succeeds, the enemy will be easy prey. If he fails, the U.S. government will deny any involvement--and Brad Austin will no longer exist.... Tense, powerful, and frighteningly real, Targets of Opportunity is a masterwork of military fiction--Joe Weber at his electrifying best.

Roman Abramovich created a new wave of filthy-rich club owners in world football when he took over Chelsea back in 2003.
Since then he has been surpassed by people such as the Manchester City owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and others.
Interestingly enough, two of the biggest clubs in the world, Real Madrid and Barcelona, are fan-owned.
These owners may not all be the singular person in charge of their club, and in some cases they may co-own a club or be the majority shareholder.
For this list we are going to go by the net worth of the various owners.
Here are the 20 most filthy-rich club owners in world football.

With training camp set to start, the NFL is almost back into the swing of things. For fans of the Dallas Cowboys, you'll be able to see your team for the first time in the Hall of Fame game against the Miami Dolphins.
While some players might dread an extra preseason game, the Cowboys will try to use the extra competition to work out all the kinks and get the new coaches and players on the same page.
Once the preseason games are out of the way as the team, the Cowboys start the 2013 season at home in a Sunday night matchup against the rival New York Giants.
After that, the Cowboys get the Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams and San Diego Chargers—teams that have recently been near the bottom of the pack.
As for Dallas' 2013 strength of schedule, based off opponent wins and losses from last year, the Cowboys have the eighth easiest schedule in the NFL.
But, 2013 is a new year.
Teams like the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears could easily create havoc. So with training camp set to start, let's take a look at what might be the Cowboys toughest games of the upcoming NFL season.

Clinical Trial Registries Step Up Reporting Requirements
eCliniqua | Clinical trial registries will be upping the ante by requiring more disclosure from
biopharmaceutical companies, but it's not yet clear what additional information will be

Analyses of cancer incidence data from nine areas of the United States revealed steadily rising rates from 1976 to 1987 of adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia. The increases among men in this period ranged from 4% to 10% per year, and thus exceeded those of any other type of cancer. In contrast, there were relatively stable trends for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and slight declines for adenocarcinoma of more distal portions of the stomach. Adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia disproportionately affected white men and rarely occurred among women. By the mid-1980s. among white men, adenocarcinomas accounted for about one third of all esophageal cancers, while cardia cancers accounted for about one half of all stomach cancers with specified subsites. The rising incidence rates and similar demographic patterns point to the need for investigation into the causes of these poorly understood cancers.

AIA Gala at the City of Houston Central Permitting Center
- April 27th, 2011
- Write comment
Viva Houston! That was the theme for this year's AIA Gala which was held at the (still under construction) City of Houston Central Permitting Center. Loyal followers of G2LD will note that this event incorporated two projects near and dear to our hearts–the permitting center, which we have been working on with Studio Red Architects and the Gala itself, for which Sarah Gandy served on the environment committee.
A semi-completed construction site may not appeal to many groups for a Gala setting, but for architects, well, they feel right at home. Kudos to the Manhattan construction team for pulling together the space in time for the event! Just what every GC wants to hear–that 700+ design professionals will be having a throw-down on your construction site. The site made some amazing transformations in the days leading up to the party…
Mayor Anise Parker spoke at the Gala highlighting the City's commitment to green building and public art, both of which will be highlighted extensively in the "new" building (for those just now tuning in, it's actually a renovated 1926 rice warehouse slated to achieve LEED Gold). Great speach and pat on the back for all involved and, may I say, I think the black and white video projection looked great in the industrial space…
Thanks to Mary Margaret Hansen, the lead artist for the COH project, for sharing her photos with us. The whole project will be peppered with very cool public art projects and you can follow Mary Margaret's blog about the process and the artists here.
A great time was had by all. Looking forward to next year AND seeing the finished building!

It didn't fly in, however. Instead, it arrived by the truckload — in seven Matson containers with Honolulu police escort, to be exact.
Once at the museum, the history of the "Swamp Ghost" will be retold the way the Flying Fortress was lost in 1942 and rediscovered three decades later in a swamp in Papua New Guinea.

TSCG began in 1994 with representatives from the State of Alaska and Tribes from Alaska. Meetings were held to discuss current issues of how Alaska Native families we being treated in the child welfare system and about the state of Alaska's ability to follow the required ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) federal requirements. Meetings were held on a regular basis to tackle current systemic problems and also to help build a bridge between the entities for positive relationships. Throughout time the format of meetings and the representatives have changed but the partnerships continue today. Focus has always been around how change can continue to happen to better support the Indian Child Welfare Act. And to better serve the Alaska Native and American Indian families.
TSCG has made efforts in many areas focused around partnerships and improving the child welfare system for those Alaska Native or American Indian families who are involved in the system. Trough out the years TSCG has been able to identify areas to work on together. The first area addressed was creating a Tribal/State agreement about how communication would work and what areas of focus there would be. Other successes TSCG has had:

It turned out it wasn't that setting at all. It was the "Share Memory
Size" on the same BIOS screen. This motherboard has integrated video,
so a portion of regular RAM is used as video RAM. Choices are
8/16/32/64 MB. When set to 8 or 16, system runs very slowly as
previously described. When set to 32 or 64, system runs at about normal
speed. I don't know WHY. My only guess is that maybe with less video
RAM, the system is swapping video RAM out to disk. (Ugh!) If anyone
has a better idea than that, I'd like to hear it. However, as the
system's back to, as far as I can tell, normal speed, I'm not going to
spend a lot of time on this. I still have a printer to hook up and
other things to do. :-)

Johns Island farmer Thomas Legare has announced that he again will run for the Charleston County Council District 8 seat, but he might have to pay a high price for his candidacy.
Some county officials are in the process of reconsidering an application to use rural Greenbelt money to purchase a conservation easement on the 314-acre Legare Farms property on Johns Island, which Legare owns with his two sisters.
County Council shot down that plan with a 5-4 vote in November. But Council Vice Chairman Elliott Summey, who voted with the majority against the plan, later said he might reconsider his vote if the price tag came in at less than the $900,000 originally requested. If Summey changed his vote, the easement likely would be approved.
Under a conservation easement, the property owner agrees to place restrictions on the land so it never can be developed. In most cases, that drives down the price for which the owner could sell the property.
But Summey said his stance on the matter may have changed after Legare announced Sunday that he would run for Council's District 8 seat in November against Anna Johnson, who currently holds the seat. Johnson defeated Legare for that seat in 2010.
"I'm contemplating what I'm going to do," Summey said. "He's throwing salt in Anna's eye," Summey said of Legare.
Summey said that if he cast the deciding vote to purchase the Legare Farms easement, it would be harder for him to work with Johnson, who also opposed the purchase. "And I have to work with her. Life is about relationships."
Legare said he thinks the Greenbelt application for Legare Farms, which is being sponsored by the Lowcountry Open Land Trust, should stand on its own merit, free from politics.
Money for Greenbelt projects comes from the county's half-cent sales tax.
Legare also said Summey's threat won't stop him from entering the District 8 race. "Oh I'm running," he said. "I won't back down from a threat. I'm running come hell or high water."
Elizabeth Hagood, the Lowcountry Open Land Trust's executive director, said the group's board will meet Monday, and it will decide then whether or how it should proceed with the Legare Farms application. "We need to discuss whether his decision (to run for council) has changed any factors in the application," she said.
Hagood said she and other trust leaders sponsored the project and filed the application because they think Legare Farms is a property that needs to be preserved, and that it fits perfectly with the preservation goals of the Greenbelt program.
Conservationists have said that the farm on the Stono River on the southern end of the island is a quintessential Johns Island property that is vulnerable to development.
But four of council's nine members have grown concerned in recent years about the county purchasing easements on private land that doesn't offer access to the public. The four are Johnson, Teddie Pryor, Henry Darby and Vic Rawl.

Well Congrats Bettcrap you get your LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG series. I guess the only way that Cindy can win is for the officials to be so one sided its ridiculous.
That last penatly that was a goal was so NOT a penalty and how about that 6 skaters for like 30 sec the linesmen was right ther between the benches how did he not see it? How many interfernece where not called against Pitts or how many crosschecks to the back or how many high sticks.
The boys played a good game and played hard...but its kinda hard to win when bettcrap has already deicded on the outcome of the game before it even started. It all goes back to Malkins non suspension since the league said they can't "afford" to be without a guy like Malkin in the playoffs...who cares who the guy is the rules cleary state that he should have been suspended. You can beat on if it was Krony or Lebda they would be suspended no questions asked.
Well Bettcrap contrats...you really f'd this one up. Way to show the world how cry babies always win over the hard workers and the true champions.

text: The Family Integrated Church Movement (FICM) is gaining traction in certain segments of the church. It should be applauded for its emphasis on strong Christian families, and the role that the family plays in education of children. However, the FICM is not a centralized phenomena. Some churches and individuals that are FICM friendly are moderate in their views, not insisting that the family is the basic unit of the New Testament church. Other FICM adherents are more monolithic, believing that the family supersedes the church. As normally is the case in situations such as this, the truth lies somewhere in between. Pastor Sam Waldron wrote an excellent article on this subject on the Reformed Baptist Fellowship Blog. The link to his article is here: An Open Letter with regard to My Blog on the Family-Integrated Church Movement.

Did you know that one in four Americans think learning disabilities (LD) are caused by watching too much TV? (They aren't.) The National Center for Learning Disabilities recently asked 1,980 adults what they know and think about LD.
Most people agree that LD is a growing concern. Yet many still have mistaken beliefs about what LD is. To help clear this up, here are five facts about learning disabilities.
In 2010, one study asked people what they think about LD. More than half said they believe LD is the result of laziness.
Kids with LD aren't lazy. Their brains process information in different and less-effective ways. Their brains have trouble focusing and making sense of language, written words and numbers. Simply trying harder doesn't help.
Luckily, the developing brain has a quality known as "plasticity." It's not clear if brains can be "re-trained" to process information more efficiently. But with different kinds of instruction and support, kids can work around their weaknesses and learn in different ways.
People don't "outgrow" LD. However, they have a good chance of success when given the right support. That includes appropriate intervention in school and help transitioning from school to college or vocational training. Community-based support outside of school is helpful, too.
Not only is this true, but the good news is that 80 percent of Americans know it. Many people with LD have average or above-average intelligence. Many are also very creative and do amazing things in life.
A few examples of famous people with LD include journalist Anderson Cooper, actor/activist/comedian Whoopi Goldberg, actor/writer/director Henry Winkler and entrepreneur Richard Branson.
Dyslexia (an LD in reading) is the best-known type of LD. But it's only one of many. There are also forms of LD that affect math skills (dyscalculia) and writing skills (dysgraphia). Other concerns, such as ADHD and social communication issues often co-occur with LD.
Because the word "learning" appears in the term, it's easy to assume that school is the only trouble spot.
The truth is that many kids with LD also struggle with social skills. Some have trouble reading body language. Others find it hard to follow conversations or to control their impulsive behavior. LD also affects daily life, such as staying organized, managing money, and reading maps and clocks.
If your child has LD, you've probably learned a lot about it. You might also realize that other people don't know as much about LD as you'd expect. The bottom line? There's more to LD than meets the eye. Learning disabilities may not be as visible as other health issues, but they're just as real.

An Altoona man surrendered peacefully Sunday evening after an hour-long standoff that followed his firing shots from a handgun in the air - apparently to draw police to the scene - then firing towards them after they showed up.
Michael J. Turiano, known as John, 44, has been charged by city police with assault on law enforcement, aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats and reckless endangerment, according to detective Sgt. Matt Starr.
Facebook played a key role in the incident, with Turiano using it to announce it had begun, then police using it to establish contact with him, leading to the resolution.
Just before 7 p.m., Turiano fired the shots, then posted the message, "I just went out and shot six shots off for dad. I wonder if the cops will show up ??"
Earlier, he had posted that it had been a year since his father had died, adding "I hope you are proud of me. RIP."
The police indeed showed up, and were out back of his house on the 100 block of East Sixth Avenue when Turiano - who was alone in the house - came out, said "I know you guys are out here," and fired in the general direction of the officers, who had taken protected positions, according to Starr.
At that point, the department "called everybody in," Starr said.
Officers - including Logan Township police - barricaded Sixth Avenue and nearby alleys and took up positions watching the house.
They also summoned Turiano's ex-wife, who began communicating with Turiano - who had gone back inside - on Facebook, according to Starr.
Others also were sending him messages, including "Don't do anything crazy John. They shut the road down and everything."
"I hope they come, then I can tell them how I feel," Turiano responded.
His ex-wife advised him that Starr would like to talk with him, and he turned on his phone, Starr said.
Starr then spoke with Turiano, establishing a "quick rapport."
They talked about personal issues, he said.
Starr told him he didn't want anyone to get hurt and suggested he come out, giving him explicit instructions to leave the gun inside, turn on lights and come out a specific door.
Turiano complied exactly, he said.
Turiano's alleged actions violate an ordinance that prohibits firing a gun within the city limits.
