Link: Woody Fu's "People I Have Met Through Magnet" Album
It's no secret that taking improv classes at The Magnet Theater is a great way to branch out, try something new and meet fun and interesting people. Recently Woody Fu, a student and now the most recent addition to the Musical Improv Team, The Sound and the Fury, started to draw everyone he has met through taking classes and performing at The Magnet Theater. The result is incredibly cool, check it out:
The whole album can be viewed by clicking on the title link above. There are 100+ drawings and it's been growing larger everyday. Great job! Woody also does comics at http://www.peroxidecomics.com.
There are two teams on this particular night, Team Lincoln and Team Buddha. And the house is packed. It's standing room only at the Magnet Training Center Studio, and the crowd is laughing.
The Circuit was the brainchild of Mark Grenier, the Magnet's Senior Level One instructor. I told Magnet that I wanted to write a blog post about The Circuit, and it was really overdue, so when I saw Mark in the elevator I cornered him awkwardly and peppered him with questions. "It's about stage time. Nothing beats stage time." Mark tried to leave but I pressed all the buttons. Trapped, he told me that the team structure at Magnet worked well but there were skilled players ready to be on stage that had yet to win a slot on a Megawatt team. "They weren't being served because just waiting for the next round of team auditions is not the best way to prepare for team auditions. So we built The Circuit." I was satisfied by this answer and let him go. But it was fun making him feel uncomfortable, and I wanted more.
"…just waiting for the next round of team auditions is not the best way to prepare for team auditions. So we built The Circuit."
So The Circuit works like this: every Friday night at 10pm, three of the current six Circuit teams perform the Harold. Teams exist for three months – enough time to perform a good amount of shows before the next round of Circuit teams replace the current ones.
The Circuit features Harold teams made-up of both current Magnet students and veteran performers.
After three months, the teams are burned up in a secret sacred ritual and then new Circuit teams rise from the ashes like a comedy phoenix. This is also known as selecting teams through a lottery. Later when I followed Mark to his apartment, got naked, climbed his fire escape, and stood outside his window, I asked about this crazy lottery idea. He said performers apply, and then names are picked out of a hat. "It's fast, it's simple, and it's equally fair to everyone across the board." Then he called the police and I ran. I totally got away.
Want to be on a Circuit team? Anyone who has completed Magnet Level 3 or higher (and is not currently on a Megawatt team or in Team Performance Workshop) can apply. Performers will be chosen randomly by lottery. Teams will rehearse weekly with a coach and have a three month run of shows on Friday nights at the Studio Theater.
To apply, just email email@example.com. Your email will be thrown into a computer hat, and then names will be selected by a robot which looks like this:
Link: 4 Chicago Bound Shows Reviewed in TimeOut Chicago
The Magnet Theater is sending 4 teams out to the Chicago Improv Festival next week. A represenative from TimeOut Chicago attended our CIF showcase at the beginning of the month and had some nice things to say about The Cascade, Chet Watkins, FACE and Hello Laser.
Duo Rick Andrews and Jennifer Dunne have a compelling form on their hands… this duo played it smart and patient, and I'd watch them again. (The Cascade)
These long-form practitioners have a secret weapon: fearless women. The men aren't half bad either... All in all, impressive. (Chet Watkins).
It's awesome to hear instrumentation besides a piano, and the musicians rotate frequently (including new ones in Chicago). Also, this group embraced the entirety of the stage in a big way and offered solid callbacks. (FACE)
This quartet of goofs is a C.I.F. visiting favorite and, having now witnessed them on home turf, it's easy to see why… If the C.I.F. were a competition, we know where we'd place our bets. (Hello Laser)
Link: Non-Hulk Featured on Front Page of Funny or Die today
Non-Hulk was a digital short written for Magnet Theater's monthly comedic short screening, FLICK.

Congrats guys!
Russ started improvising during high school in Ann Arbor Michigan. There, he and his friends formed a group that they believed to be very "high brow," but looking back, they are now pretty sure they mostly just made up fart jokes and mocked their principle. Since then, Russ has come a long way, honing his craft at iO and Second City in Chicago before making The Magnet Theater his improv home base.
As a teacher of long-form, Russ tries to keep it positive. He emphasizes physical and emotional focus. His objective is to get everyone on board and be okay with playing together. Russ also likes to incorporate tons of metaphors into his teaching. For instance rather than just tell you to "follow the fear," as most improv teachers might, Russ, a native of Indianapolis, might quote racecar driver Mario Andretti. "If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough."
Russ is currently teaching Level 2: Intro to Longform improv. Check out a listing of our available classes on the Magnet Theater website.
The Circuit: Round 3! Apply for Student Harold Teams!
The next round of The Circuit begins in May! The Circuit features Harold teams made-up of both current Magnet students and veteran performers. Anyone who has completed Magnet Level 3 or higher (and is not currently on a Megawatt team or in Team Performance Workshop) can apply. Performers will be chosen randomly by lottery. Teams will rehearse weekly with a coach and have a 3 month run of shows on Friday nights at the Studio Theater.
Apply now by emailing email@example.com.
Deadline to apply is April 15th.
Current and former Circuit performers speak up! Let the world know how awesome it is.
So maybe you can't go to Chicago just to see your favorite
Magnet Teams. You can, however, get a preview of the teams accepted to CIF 2011 all weekend:
FACE Friday at 7pm
Chet Watkins Friday at 8pm
Hello Laser/Cascade Saturday 6pm

In Brief: Catholic bishops keep focus on abortion, marriage
Catholic bishops focus on abortion, marriage
NEW ORLEANS -- The nation's Roman Catholic bishops meeting Wednesday renewed their focus on abortion and gay marriage under Pope Francis.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to make only limited revisions to a guide they publish every presidential election year on church teaching, voting and public policy. The bishops also reaffirmed their fight for broader religious exemptions to laws recognizing gay marriage and a requirement in the Affordable Care Act that employers provide health insurance covering birth control.
Francis has said the church has been alienating Catholics by focusing more on divisive social issues than on mercy and compassion.
The bishops' document on political responsibility has become a point of contention within the church over which issues voters should consider most important: abortion or social justice. The bishops voted Wednesday to incorporate Francis' teachings into the document, but rejected a complete rewrite in favor of limited changes instead.
Groups allege abuse of children at border
SAN DIEGO -- Unaccompanied children arrested by U.S. border authorities are packed in frigid cells and sleep on hard floors without enough food or medical care, advocacy groups said in a complaint Wednesday that alleges widespread abuses amid a surge of illegal crossings by young immigrants from strife-torn Central American countries.
The Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project and four other groups produced 116 allegations of abuse of children who were in Customs and Border Protection custody.
They said more than 80 percent received inadequate food and water, about half were denied medical care, and about one of every four was physically abused.
Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that it does not tolerate misconduct and was providing food, medical care and other basic services under constant supervision, while working to transfer children to the Department of Health and Human Services within 72 hours, as required by law.
Ukraine rejects Putin's offer of gas discounts
MOSCOW -- Russia on Wednesday offered to restore the discounted gas price it granted Ukraine under the ousted pro-Russian president, but Ukraine demanded an even better deal and called for arbitration to settle the dispute.
Speaking in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia was offering the discount as a "partnership deal." Russia's energy minister, Alexander Novak, specified the price offered as $385 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas.
"We believe that our offer is more than in a partnership spirit, aimed to support the Ukrainian economy at a rather difficult time," Putin said in televised remarks. "But if our offers are rejected it means we will enter another stage. This is not our choice. We do not want it."

Many congressmen and local elected leaders are unhappy with the state of prevailing wage and are taking steps to change it.
Members of the state House Labor and Industry Committee are seeking input on Pennsylvania's Prevailing Wage Law in a series of hearings. One such hearing will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 10 at Williamsport City Hall.
The hearing will include various approaches to reforming the Prevailing Wage Law, which hasn't been updated since the early 1960s.
Lycoming County Commissioner Jeff Wheeland said he's going to testify at the hearing.
"It's obvious to me at the county and municipal level that prevailing wage needs reformed," Wheeland said. Prevailing wage places "an additional burden on the taxpayer."
Prevailing wage applies to any public works project estimated to cost more than $25,000, but that threshold hasn't been adjusted to inflation.
Fact Box
WHAT: Hearing on prevailing wage
WHEN: 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 10
WHERE: Williamsport City Hall
Because of receiving outcry from several municipal governments, state Sen. E. Eugene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, sponsored a prevailing wage bill that would raise the threshold from $25,000 to $180,000 for any public works project, which the Senate Labor and Industry Committee may consider when back in session Sept. 23.
"The Department of Labor's CPI inflation calculator indicates that if the current $25,000 threshold were to be adjusted for inflation, it would equate to roughly $187,000 in today's dollars," said Nick Troutman, Yaw's aide.
Old Lycoming Township Supervisor Chairman John Eck favors the increased threshold, saying, "$25,000 at that time was the cost of building house, but you can't build a house for that cost today."
Eck expressed frustration with the cost of prevailing wage, saying the cost to do the same exact work, such as resurfacing a parking lot, costs much greater under prevailing wage.
"It's the same equipment, the same asphalt, the same workers. ... You're paying for the same service, but you're paying an inflated price because of prevailing wage," Eck said.
In the end, it's the taxpayer who gets the bill.
"The taxpayer is the one who's being penalized on the bottom line. ... If a municipality or governmental agency doesn't have to pay prevailing wage, they can get more done with the dollars they do have," Eck said.
Pennsylvania's Prevailing Wage Law requires municipalities and school districts to pay the prevailing minimum wage to those working on public construction projects. The law doesn't specify how the prevailing minimum wage in a locality is determined, so the secretary of the Department of Labor and Industry largely determines how to set the wage, according to state Rep. Mario Scavello, R-Mount Pocono.
Currently, the secretary uses the area union wage rates as the prevailing wage rate for public projects. However, reform proponents say the union wage rates are at wage rates paid in larger cities, and often don't reflect the actual prevailing wages paid in rural areas. This may inflate public project costs from 5 to 20 percent, Scavello said.
On average, prevailing wage is 51 percent higher than regular wages Pennsylvania construction workers receive, according to the Commonwealth Foundation for Public Policy Alternatives.

When we take our time to choose companies that we believe will be successful investments, we do so with two assumptions in mind: that the companies have sufficient growth prospects that we can expect reasonable rates of return, and that the managers of these companies will make decisions to create sustainable shareholder value. Unfortunately, these assumptions aren't always correct. There are always companies out there that can do the opposite and kill shareholder value. Whether by large equity issuances or management blunders, these companies have done one thing well: dilute shareholder value.
Note: Share price appreciation is from the end of the U.S. recession (June 2009) to today. For a little perspective, the S&P 500 has increased 64.54% in that time frame.
What a Fool believes
Not to defend these moves, but sometimes a company needs to take actions against the interests of its shareholders to remain afloat. Enerplus Resources Fund (NYSE: ERF ) committed shareholder treason when it cut its distribution in half last June, but the move enabled the company to weather the storm of low natural gas prices and right its ship. The actions of these companies may be hard to swallow, but they may allow for the companies to secure long-term health. Scorn SandRidge for using the equity market as an ATM and scorn LINN Energy for its big pseudo-equity issuances, but perhaps in the long run these moves will pay off.
A lot of investors are already wise to the moves at Chesapeake, and they wisely dumped their stock. Now, the company is trading at a deep discount. Is the resignation of Aubrey McClendon enough to swing this energy giant back in the right direction?

When's the best time to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band?
If you're out for seriousness of purpose in support of a new album, then it's best to catch the Boss early on in the get-the-message-across phase of a tour for a disc like Wrecking Ball, his 11-song 2012 salvo on the human costs of the betrayal of the American dream that he supported with two shows at the Wells Fargo Center in March.
But if you're looking to catch Springsteen at his loosest and most unpredictable, when the retirement-age rocker - he turns 63 this month - and his mighty musical compadres are at their most joyously and defiantly life-affirming, it's best to target one of the open-air summertime shows like the two that took place at Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia on Sunday and Monday.

For Some Mall Owners, Is There Life After Sears?
U.S. mall owners have contemplated for years what they might do if aged and troubled retailer Sears Holdings Corp. closes many of its stores, leaving malls with gaping vacancies and few easy alternatives for filling them.
Now, that day seems to be drawing ever closer as Sears in recent months has announced plans to divest some of its businesses, sublease space in its stores to other retailers and close 100 to 120 big Sears and Kmart stores. Many analysts and market observers predict that Sears's closures ultimately will number far greater as the retailer shrinks in search of lasting profitability.
That has mall owners contemplating life after Sears now more than ever. Sears, controlled by hedge-fund titan Edward Lampert, operates 810 of its namesake stores and 1,300 Kmart locations.
Mall-industry chief executives interviewed this week at the International Council of Shopping Centers' massive annual leasing convention in Las Vegas predicted numerous outcomes for vacated Sears stores. Some might be replaced by single tenants, but that will be the exception. Many will need to be divided into smaller spaces for several tenants. And still more will be bulldozed and rebuilt as smaller shops, restaurants, theaters or a mixture of such tenants.
"It's going to be tough because there aren't a lot of natural replacements for Sears," said Art Coppola, Chairman and CEO of Macerich, owner of 64 malls. "In our portfolio, we have a conceptual plan for what we'd do for each Sears if we were to get the keys back. If you own great real estate, you're going to find the opportunity to replace them with another retailer or another use."
Michael Glimcher, chairman and CEO of Glimcher Realty Trust, owner of 24 malls, noted that many other department-store chains have vanished from the market due to failure or consolidation. So far, the mall industry has managed to adjust, he said. If Glimcher loses some of its 19 Sears stores, it might find single stores to replace them or tear down and rebuild them as a different format.
"Getting real estate back in a strong portfolio is great," Mr. Glimcher said. "I'd rather not get all 19 back on the same day. But we have a depth-chart on every single location of retailers that would like that space."
Indeed, Sears has owned or leased many of its mall stores for so long that it pays little rent to mall owners. Prior to the latest recession, mall owners often claimed that they could make their malls more productive if they could replace Sears with better retailers that spent more effort on their stores and merchandise. But now, few department-store chains are expanding. Online shopping is sapping sales from weak malls. And rebuilding a Sears site for other stores can be expensive.
Still, many big mall owners say that they aren't panicking about Sears's fate. Stephen Lebovitz, president and CEO of CBL & Associates Properties, owner of 90 malls, said CBL is supportive of Sears's strategy to sublease space in its stores to other retailers such as Forever 21 and Whole Foods Market. Among the 70 Sears stores in CBL's malls is one that CBL envisions replacing with several restaurants and perhaps a hotel. Another it might replace with an open-air wing of the mall populated with small shops.
Most big mall owners like CBL have experience with replacing departed anchor stores, since they lose at least three or four a year across their portfolio to normal attrition. "We've bought stores back from Dillard's, Belk, Penney," Mr. Lebovitz said. "For the most part, we look at our Sears portfolio and we don't see a lot of vulnerability. I'm not concerned about it."
Readers, should mall owners be concerned about additional Sears closures?

EWA BEACH, Oahu - A deadly tsunami spawned from a devastating earthquake across the Pacific sent residents and tourists scrambling to higher ground across Hawaii on Friday, unleashing waves several feet high that inundated the lobbies of low-lying hotels and swept away a house.
The 8.9-magnitude quake off Japan - the country's biggest earthquake in recorded history - sent waves racing 500 mph toward the West Coast of the U.S. Sirens blared before dawn on the Hawaiian Islands, where residents quickly stocked up on bottled water, canned foods and toilet paper.
Authorities also went through the tourist mecca of Waikiki, warning of the approaching tsunami. Hotels moved tourists from lower floors to upper levels; some visitors ended up spending the night in their cars.
Article Photos
Hawaii Governor
By the time the waves reached Hawaii, most residents were already on higher ground. Low-lying areas on Maui were flooded as 7-foot waves crashed ashore; water covered beachfront roads and rushed into hotels on the Big Island. Fishermen took their boats out to sea, away from harbors and marinas where the waves would be most intense.
Yet most residents breathed a sigh of relief as the sun rose.
''With everything that could have happened and did happen in Japan, we're just thankful that nothing else happened,'' said Sabrina Skiles, who along with her husband spent a sleepless night at his office on Maui. Their beachfront house was unscathed.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie estimated at a news conference that the tsunami caused millions of dollars in dam-
age. Still, the islands were ''fortunate almost beyond words,'' he said earlier Friday.
''All of us had that feeling that Hawaii was just the most blessed place on the face of the Earth today,'' he said.
The governor signed a state-of-disaster proclamation, the first step in seeking federal disaster-relief funds.
On the Big Island, firefighters spotted a floating home in Kealakekua Bay and seven others damaged by at least one large wave, said Quince Mento with the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency. Buildings 11 miles north, in Kailua-Kona, also suffered extensive damage.
Mento said the bay is not very populated, and he didn't know the exact size of the single-family structure - nor if it was still floating in the bay or had gone to sea.
About 200 boats were damaged at Keehi Small Boat Harbor near Small Island after waves shook loose docks with the vessels attached. One boat slammed into the island's bridge.
At least two boats sank and another overturned at Maalaea Harbor, Coast Guard spokes-man Lt. Gene Maestas said.
The islands were struck by several surges, including one that fully exposed a near-shore reef off Diamond Head lookout to spectators who had gathered to watch the waves.
It was the second time in a little over a year that Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast faced the threat of a massive tsunami. A magnitude-8.8 earthquake in Chile spawned warnings Feb. 27, 2010, but the waves were much smaller than predicted and did little damage.
This time around, the warning went out within 10 minutes of the earthquake in Japan, said Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist for the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu. ''We called this right. This evacuation was necessary,'' Fryer said. ''There's absolutely no question, this was the right thing to do.''
The warnings issued by the tsunami center covered an area stretching the entire western coast of the United States and Canada from the Mexican border to Chignik Bay in Alaska. Many other Pacific islands briefly evacuated their shorelines.
President Barack Obama said he was ''heartbroken'' by images of devastation in Japan, and pledged U.S. assistance to help the country recover. He urged residents in the affected areas of the West Coast to heed warnings from local officials and evacuate if told to do so.
One U.S. aircraft carrier was already in Japan, and a second was on its way to assist with the recovery efforts.

As I write this, it is almost time for America's most loved dog show to begin in New York City. Westminster is one of my favorite shows of the year, next to the Palm Springs shows. I used to record the Westminster coverage when I was a kid and watch the Group judging over and over, studying each breed and how the handlers presented them. As an adult dog lover and fancier, I am eager to see the positive press coverage of show dogs begin. There will be the exciting feature of new breeds in AKC this year, and I'm sure the addition of agility at WKC will be featured, as well as various heartwarming stories, all of which are an important part of being involved in purebred dogs.
While these stories are relevant and wonderful, I wonder if AKC realizes that there is an important group of fanciers consistently being left out. It is the people who champion the cause of the rare breeds. I'm not referring to the breeds in the Miscellaneous Class but to those that have attained full AKC recognition yet have extremely low registration numbers, never mind low entries in dog shows. Could we please start a conversation about the Löwchen, the Boykin Spaniel, the Pharaoh Hound, the Cesky Terrier or the Entlebucher Mountain Dog for a change of pace?
We are always in search of a story to grab the public's attention, and perhaps the story lies in rare breeds. Showcasing these lesser-known AKC breeds offers the public an insight into our own past as we describe each breed's uses and noteworthy traits. Plus, the public likes to see what it hasn't seen before, and some of these breeds have a truly distinctive appearance that is sure to fascinate dog lovers who encounter them for the first time.
My own affinity for the offbeat dog breeds began when I was 11 and first started begging my mom for a dog. We read countless books together about all the different dog breeds in order to find the one that was right for us. Finally, my mom decided a Japanese Chin was the "perfect" breed for us. However, "perfect" in her mind meant "hard to find." I believe she figured that we would never find a Japanese Chin, so she wouldn't have to get me a dog. Nonetheless, she said if I found one, she would buy it for me. The breed was extremely rare in the '80s, and it was very difficult to find one, but never underestimate the desire of a kid to find herself a dog! After many months, I found that "perfect" Japanese Chin, and my mother kept her promise of buying him for me. A few months after I got Ureshii, I discovered dog shows, and the rest is a story all too familiar. Today, my husband and I breed and exhibit Cane Corsos. In addition, we are proud new owners of a wonderful Löwchen named Beatrice. She is amazing and possesses all the wonderful traits that were described to us when we were looking for a small breed to add to our home.
An article in the November 2013 edition of Psychology Today entitled "Dog Breeds Vulnerable to Extinction in the United States," by Stanley Coren, Ph.D., listed 50 of the rarest AKC breeds in the United States. I was shocked to see my beloved Löwchen on the list. It made me want to do something. The thought of being without my beautiful Lion Dog or even my Cane Corsos (which were not listed) was frightening.
So what to do next?
Most people looking to bring home a dog are only familiar with the breeds flashed on TV, in magazines and in movies. We need to showcase the less popular breeds, and what better time to do that than during Westminster? One never knows what might spark someone's interest in a particular breed, and positive media exposure while the country is watching is paramount.
Some folks may say they don't want their breed to become "too popular." While none of us wants to see our beloved breeds in the wrong hands, there is benefit in having demand for a specific breed. With demand comes new fanciers, and because we won't live forever, we need new people to take over where we leave off. Otherwise, who will be there to keep these rare breeds alive and well? The breed clubs do all they can to educate the public, but if the public doesn't even know about us, our efforts are for naught.
In my short amount of time owning a Löwchen, I've heard from many dog fanciers how excited they are to finally see one in person. Many friends and fellow exhibitors remarked that they had been interested in the Löwchen but decided on a different breed because they hadn't gotten the chance to meet one. I've even met people who have had Löwchen but stopped exhibiting them because they were the only ones in the area with the breed. To me this shows us that fanciers need to be out and about as much as possible, showing off their rare breeds. The Meet the Breeds events are wonderful; in fact that's when I decided to look into a Löwchen for our home. However, we need wider exposure, and with AKC's access to mass media through Westminster, the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship and the National Dog Show, it's imperative that we showcase our rare breeds during times when we have America's attention. Our uncommon breeds are depending on us to preserve them and not allow them to be forgotten.

LEWISTOWN - A new rivalry.
That's how Mifflin County field hockey coach Tish Maclay classified the Huskies encounter with State College.
Wednesday in Lewistown, Mifflin County atoned for an early-season loss to the Little Lions by playing one of its best games of the year, Maclay said.
Macie Lucas and Sam Peters each found the net - one in the first half and one in the second - to upend Commonwealth Division foe State College 2-0.
And that rivalry isn't finished just yet.
Mifflin County (10-7, 8-5) secured itself a spot in the District 6 Class AAAA playoffs with a 4-2 win over Carlisle Monday. Wednesday's win guaranteed the Huskies a winning record and a date with State College for the District 6 title Oct. 25.
Fact Box
* Mifflin County travels to Central Dauphin?East Friday
"I though this was the best we played all season," Maclay said. "We played a full game and our defense stepped up. I think our offense made some really good decisions with the ball."
It was senior day for the Huskies - the bout with State College was Mifflin County's last home game of the season. And a group of seniors sparked an intense group of girls to life for Mifflin County in a crucial game.
In what looked like an even match between the two schools, Mifflin County finally broke through with Lucas' goal midway through the first half. The Mifflin County senior was able to find the cage after senior Whitney Strohecker got her stick on it.
And with Mifflin County sitting on a 1-0 lead, the Huskies weren't about to let up.
Mifflin County's defense was strong all afternoon. Led by senior Mary Havice, the Huskies controlled most of the second half and allowed only five shots by the Little Lions.
"Today we were really hungry," Maclay said. "They've become our new rival. Heading into the playoffs it was important for us to match their intensity and get a win."
The only way State College had any offense was when it carried the ball in the middle of the field and fired to keeper Jordan Myers from outside the circle.
On two separate occasions in the first half, State College's Lauren Bonness broke free and had free strikes on Myers. Myers stoned Bonness and the rest of the Little Lions any time they got inside the shooting circle.
"We said all along 1-0 is not going to do it," Maclay said. "We needed to act like we were two goals down."
The second half started with Mifflin County on the verge of scoring virtually every time it possessed the ball - which was most of the opening 20 minutes of the second half.
With State College starting to press and attack more during the latter stages of the game, Mifflin County started to get breakaway opportunities to seal the game. But that didn't happen until there was one minute left.
Strohecker possessed the ball at midfield and worked the ball all the way to the circle with a defender on her hip. She sent a laser across the circle and found Peters for a one-time goal and ice the game for Mifflin County.
"It was so nice to see Whit set Sam up there at the end," Maclay said. "Obviously that took the pressure off us."
Mifflin County's late-season surge continues when it travels to Central Dauphin East Friday.

The officer is on administrative leave pending the results of an internal investigation.

We know the wonders toothbrushes, dental floss and toothpaste can work on your teeth. But what about using these items on your bathroom floor or in your kitchen? The Chicago Dental Society surveyed nearly 200 of its members to gather helpful tips on how old or unused dental products can also serve as handy household tools.
The survey was conducted for the Chicago Dental Society's 140th annual Midwinter Meeting, which will bring more than 30,000 dental professionals to Chicago this February.
1) Cleaning silver and jewelry. Put a small amount of toothpaste on a toothbrush, scrub gently and you will have silver, fine jewelry and diamonds shining bright.
2) Detailing and cleaning small auto parts. Old toothbrushes are useful in the garage from shining chrome car wheels to cleaning spark plugs.
3) No sewing kit? Dental floss is a great alternative to sewing thread if you need to secure buttons. It's durable like thread and barely visible.
4) Taking the grime out of your bathroom. A little elbow grease and an old toothbrush can clean tile grout, shower corners and those other hard-to-reach spots.
5) Calling all chefs! If you need to slice soft, delicate foods like cheesecake or truss poultry before cooking, dental floss can serve as a versatile cutting and binding tool in the kitchen.
6) Taking care of your furry (and not-so-furry) friends. Use a toothbrush to brush small pets, like guinea pigs. Toothbrushes are also great for scrubbing turtle shells and aquariums.
7) Keep your bicycle looking new. The spokes on your bike and other small, hard-to-reach areas can be kept clean with an old toothbrush and some soap and water.
8) Rid your hands of the toughest odors. Use toothpaste to wash and freshen up your hands after smelly activities such as cooking with garlic or handling fish, which may leave unpleasant odors on your skin.
9) A shoe shine substitute. Use an old clean toothbrush coupled with shoe polish to keep your shoes looking good as new. Running shoes can also be cleaned with a toothbrush and cleaning solution.
10) O Christmas tree. Dental floss, especially if colored green, is perfect for hanging Christmas ornaments on your tree (and blends in nicely).
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

I'm a big fan of coffee — I'll dive into a cheap $2 cup of Dunkin Donuts' brew all the way up to a $80 cup of kopi luwak from Peter Jones in London. My daily choice is typically French-pressed dark roast with freshly ground beans, but it's time consuming and doesn't stay as hot as I like my coffee to be.
Since my schedule gets hectic and I'm not always able to drink down 12 cups of French-pressed coffee before it gets cold, it's been a necessity for me to buy into the single-cup brewing fad. With so many single cup brewers available, I had to choose between a variety of technologies: Keurig's, Senseo and Tassimo being the top 3 on the market.
I had a Senseo brewer for a number of years, but found their pods to be stale pretty often, and the brewing machine only produced coffee at one temperature and pressure. Senseo also didn't have a good selection of coffee options, so once my old brewer finally died, I moved on to the next style.
Keurig has a great assortment of coffee and tea varieties, and even lets you "roll your own" with a reusable pod. The downside, again, is that it's limited in coffee brewing pressure and temperature, plus the pods from Keurig and their licensees are a bit expensive, up to $1 per 8-10 ounce cup. That left me with Tassimo, which seems to offer the best options for my drinking habits: custom pressure, temperature and even amount of coffee, based on each Tassimo pod's bar code that is ready by the brewing machine. I can also pickup pods for under $0.40 per cup — not the greatest quality coffee, but it's fast, easy, and comes out piping hot and perfect every time.
I monitor Tassimo's Facebook fan page regularly to watch for any new coffee (as well as tea and hot cocoa) varieties and was pleased to see that they had released a new line of "European" style coffees: darker, bolder and in smaller cup sizes. The typical American cup of coffee is 8 ounces to 10 ounces but is noticeably lighter in flavor and aroma, whereas the typical European cup is 120 ml (or about 4 ounces) and is more concentrated in flavor and scent.
Tassimo's new Carte Noire Voluptuoso Corse is exactly that: a deep roast, extremely aromatic out of the foil-sealed pouches that contain 16 small, sealed pods. At $9 MSPR, that puts each pod at under 63 cents a cup (cheaper online), which is well within my coffee budget.
The pour of each pod comes to just over 4 ounces — a perfect European "single" shot of coffee. While far short of the standard large American pour, it works well with how I drink my coffee: about 4-5 ounces per glass, plus 2-3 ounces of pastured heavy cream. I love the caffeine hit followed by the energy sustained from 500 calories of saturated animal fat. Pure diesel, as Dr. Harris says.
So how's the flavor of the Carte Noire Voluptuoso Corse pod? My favorite coffee comes from George Howell Coffee Company in Acton, MA. Their Matalapa, sourced from La Libertad, El Salvador, is around $20 shipped for 12 ounces of perfectly roasted and fresh beans. That's about 10 cents per cup for some of the best coffee you can make at home — but it's time and energy consuming, and my time and energy costs me more than the actual beans I have to grind, brew and serve.
The aroma of Tassimo's Carte NoireVoluptuoso Corse is fantastic: it doesn't have the metallic aftertaste that some of the cheaper pods seem to have. Maybe it's just a fresh package because of the newness of the coffee, but it smelled like freshly roasted and ground beans. The temperature was scalding: the main reason I adore my Tassimo brewer. Flavor-wise it was extremely complex, even with the heavy cream drowning out the tannins and bitters. Trying it without cream, it was full-flavored and stayed aromatic even ten minutes after brewing (not that my typical 4 ounce cup lasts that long, even).
The downsides: each cup tasted exactly the same. I love the variations in grinding my own beans: it's never the exact same scoop measurement, or the exact same water temperature, or even the same flavor between two "identical" bags of coffee. But that's an upside as well — with Tassimo's higher end pods, every cup comes out exactly the same, pod to pod and package to package.
Even though it's almost 40% more than Tassimo's basic coffee pods, and it creates 60% less actual coffee, I'm certain to keep the Carte Noire Voluptuoso Corse in my arsenal of morning and late afternoon brews. While everyone else is going to Keurig, it seems they've forgotten that coffee is not just hot water through beans: pressure, temperature and volume of water means more than just the simple equation.
My rating: 8.7 out of 10, losing points for its standard flavor between batches and a slight hint of manufacturing in the initial sip.

Just 80 kilometers from Saïdia, visitors who would enjoy their stay in this beautiful moroccan spa, have to in their agendas this essential visit. We are talking about the walled city of Melilla, an autonomous enclave belonging to Spain and located in North Africa.
Treasure of two worlds, the autonomous city of Melilla offers essential images for those who are visiting the area. Photographing the walls will be doing a tribute to citizens of Melilla who believed the old walls as one of the most proud and defiant sites of the history of Melilla.
The geographical location of Melilla, open to the sea, near the Strait of Gibraltar and balcony to the Mediterranean, made the city a well coveted by military strategists of all time. This fact led to those who occupied the city in each historical moment, wanted to raise walls as defensive formula against the attacks by sea and by land.
The bond between two continents, also between Morocco and Spain, was highly coveted and provided important commercial advantages to the ones that could take the city. Moats, towers, bastions and ramparts became another 'natural' border to the Melilla who raised their four walled enclosures.
Below the fortification, a labyrinthine network of corridors and basic galleries to the defensive strategy of Melilla. Today, above all, highlight the evolution of time by the walls, adapting in each moment to the artistic whims of fashions.
So take a look trough the stone walls will allow us to contemplate a compendium of the history of art from the gothic to neo-classicism. And less than an hour by car from Saïdia.

It's official! Bensalem High School senior Kevin Grow is a Sixer! #SIXERSSTRONG pic.twitter.com/ji8xbDy837— Philadelphia 76ers (@Sixers) February 17, 2014
"To be able to share this experience with him is something we'll remember for years to come," he says.
Sixers head coach Brett Brown says he saw a Youtube video of Grow's impressive performance and decided to offer him the contract.
"You just walk away and have a little bit more appreciation for a bunch of things," he told reporters. "It's a grounding effect when you see something like that."
Grow couldn't stop grinning as he proudly displayed his practice jersey, ate a pre-practice meal with his new teammates and then hit the court to go through drills with the team's coaching staff on Monday.

"By far, Kevin's favorite team is the Sixers, and he was so excited just to be able to come down here and see practice," his sister Laura told reporters.
His two-day contract ended with a debut at the Sixers game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia Tuesday night.
But that's not all.
Grow got his own spot in the locker room, a customized team uniform with warmup gear and sneakers, plus an introduction to the crowd alongside the team's starting five lineup.
"This whole thing's just taken a mind of its own," says his sister, "and it's just such a neat experience."

While we have seen competitors try to battle Dell's Alienware subsidy with thinner machines, such as Razer's Blade notebook, nothing can seem to hit the right balance of power, portability, and price. Gigabyte intends to help change that with their latest gaming machine, the Aorus X7.

From the Associated Press:
DANVILLE, Iowa (AP) — The owners of a tavern near Danville have been cited for running what authorities say is an illegal mouse racing operation.
Scott Beach and Jan Beach were cited last week for knowingly permitting criminal activity on licensed premises.
The Hawk Eye newspaper in Burlington says undercover Des Moines County sheriff's deputies went to the Bucktail Lodge on May 8 and discovered the mouse racing operation with people places bets.
Authorities say several mice were found in cages and bets were described as over any legal limit.
Scott Beach says the only information he has been able to get from officials is that he doesn't have a gambling license. The 49-year-old Beach says there is nothing wrong with the races, which he has held for the past five years.

No more searching around blindly, or trying to remember where you last put them down. And this friendly face also has a story to tell: it was created by HSSS, a non-profit in India that helps underprivileged artisans, who suffer hardships with physical handicaps, illiteracy, extreme poverty, or being in lower castes, find markets for their wood products. Handmade of sustainable sheesham wood, native to the Indian subcontinent, bought under supervision and quota from the government of India (which sells the wood of dead trees).

My first thought was to dump the pre-printed form...
It is possible using VBA inside Word to read data from a database. That
said, while I'm interested in the possibilities, I haven't done it myself.
But here's a link to a page that might get you gping in the right direction:
If you are not familiar with VBA, then go to the home page of the above link
and you'll find enought to get started.

Men's 2 piece 100% Wool Black Tuxedo suit .. double breasted...satin collar..2 front pockets & 2 pockets inside jacket...black satin covered buttons..breast and 4 at each sleeve. Pants have black satin stripe...pleated front and 2 back pockets with button.
There is no size indicated on tuxedo. Here are the measurements: Under-arm 44"; Waist 38"; Shoulder-To-Shoulder 38"; Jacket Length 30". The pants measurement is: Waist 31"; Crotch 14.5" and Pant Length 41.5". The jacket is completely line with rayon satin. The pants are not lined, but the wool is very soft.
The CALVIN KLEIN designer Tuxedo suit is in excellent condition. It seems that this man was not a party goer! It might have been worn once or twice!
PLEASE NOTE: The Jacket has the Calvin Klein label; the pants do not. The color of the pants are a slightly different shade of black than the jacket. I do not know if this is a CK set or not. When I purchased this Tuxedo suit it was sold as a set so I thought both were Calvin Klein. I am willing to sell both the jacket and pants separately. I noticed the difference later when I was re-arranging my closet. Please email my shop if interested. Thank you.
PLEASE NOTE: The pictures were taken on a female dress form.
The tuxedo shirt does not come with the suit. The shirt has a SAKS FIFTH AVENUE label. It is 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. It is size 15 - 34. The top button holes need studs. It is in vintage condition...used. The price is $15.00.

I don´t anymore believe in the hand injury against Chisora, he looked equally bad or even worse in this fight, actually LOT worse, he almost got knocked out. It was just an excuse for bad performance. Yet another bum is exosed. The thing is that Sherman didnt have any ambition to KO him and finnish the job, he was there just for the money.

For Helenius to post such a poor, laboured win over a tank-a tin can tank- like Williams shows me once and for all that Helenius is useless. He was 8 inches taller with 6 inch reach advantage. And unbeaten....... Williams is as as bad as you can get a 5'10" heavyweight..

Gotta love all the kind, understanding boxing fans here.
"He's a bum, he's a bum, he's a bum....etc"
Helenius comes back from a nearly career-ending injury and is understandably tentative and nervous. Totally understandable and he still won the fight.
Williams is a well-known spoiler of fights and it was a bad choice to pick him to return against.
If Helenius doesn't look better in his next fight, I'll criticize him, but not based on this one.

Just watched the highlights. Williams is tricky, he´s almost impossible to hurt with a right hand as he rolls with the punch very well. He made Helenius look even more rusty than he really was and the right hook in rd 6 would have probably knocked out most HWs out there.. the decision was right but the Tank really deserves respect. The beatings he gave Welliver and Holyfield were no lucky accidents!

Helenius would loose to all the other "big" names out there right now. He should give Chisora a rematch in UK. He will never be anything great, he's just a regular bum.

Roads still slow-going for Metro
Our icy roads continue to make for reduced Metro bus services. Snow routes will be observed again Wednesday, as the agency copes with tough driving conditions and the cold temperatures keeping the ice frozen solid.
In a statement released Tuesday evening, the agency cautioned riders to check on their specific route before leaving home:
Remember, when buses are on snow routing, some streets and bus stops may be missed and there are often delays due to travel conditions. There is new snow routing in many areas that is different from past years, so be sure to check the snow routes for all the routes you use most often.
Metro says its workers monitored street conditions overnight, and continued the job of retrieving buses that had to be abandoned during the height of Monday's storm.
Metro spokeswoman Linda Thielke told The Seattle Times that about 200 buses were left where they were stranded:
The worst areas, said Thielke, were Highway 520 eastbound near Medina, West Seattle, Interstate 5 southbound near Boeing Field, the east side of Capitol Hill and north Ballard.
Frigid temperatures plagued western Washington overnight. Today's forecast is for more sun breaks and slightly warming temperatures, with highs in the upper 20's. Snow showers are likely overnight Wednesday and into Thanksgiving morning, according to the National Weather Service. Rain and temperatures above freezing are expected after noon Thanksgiving Day.
