GOP rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum each claimed victories on the biggest night in the Republican nominating contest so far, so-called Super Tuesday.
Romney, the Michigan native and former Massachusetts governor who won a narrow primary victory here last week, has extended his delegate lead over Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator. However, Romney so far has fallen short of the knockout victory he needed to cement his inevitability as the party's nominee to face President Barack Obama in the general election.
Ten states held contests Tuesday, either in primary or caucus form. Romney scored wins in Ohio, Massachusetts, Virginia, Idaho, Alaska and Vermont. Santorum won Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota. Newt Gingrich claimed Georgia.
The lack of overwhelming decisiveness to Romney's victory, as Reuters puts it, raises "the prospect of a drawn-out battle for the Republican presidential nomination between the party's establishment and its grassroots conservatives." CBS News puts it more succinctly if perhaps less appealingly: "Super Tuesday sets up long slog to GOP nomination."
Delegate-rich Ohio was the night's biggest prize. There, Romney took at least 34 delegates to Santorum's 19. Our sister site, cleveland.com, provides a district-by-district breakdown.
As the Wall Street Journal notes, the night's lack of decisiveness is underscored by the fact each candidate claimed victories in more or less predictable places:
Each of those candidates was showing strength, as expected, in friendly territory—Mr. Romney in the Northeast, including Massachusetts, where he served as governor, and Mr. Gingrich in the state he represented for two decades in Congress. Mr. Santorum won Tennessee and Oklahoma, where his message of social conservatism appeared to resonate.

Guest Voice of Michael Crossey: Corbett's pension plan will cost more
In the public debate over public worker pensions, one fact is often obscured from the conversation -- the workers held up their end of the bargain.
Teachers like me, law enforcement officials, nurses, social workers and other public employees -- we never stopped contributing for our own pensions, paycheck after paycheck.
School employees contribute 7.5 percent of their salaries for our own pensions with every paycheck; some of us contribute as much as 10.3 percent. And our pension benefits in retirement are modest; the average retiree receives about $24,000 annually.
From 2001 to 2009, Pennsylvania's public employees paid more than twice as much into their pensions as their employers (the commonwealth and school districts), which had been granted an extended contribution "holiday," during which they contributed little or nothing.
We believed in the promise that after working a lifetime, and keeping our part of the deal, we would have some measure of retirement security.
Today, there are more than a million teachers, law enforcement officers, nurses, social workers, and other middle-class Pennsylvanians who have earned the right to retirement security, only to learn that security is at risk.
Gov. Tom Corbett has proposed changes to pension benefits for public employees. Instead of addressing the past debt owed to Pennsylvania's pension systems, his proposal defers necessary pension payments -- the same kind of deferral that created a large pension debt in the first place. If implemented, his proposal would increase future taxpayer costs and destabilize the public workers' pension systems.
The governor would create a new defined-contribution plan for public employees so that the state would be operating not one, but two pension systems. It's simple math: Two retirement systems are more expensive than one. This proposal does nothing to reduce the commonwealth's pension debt. In fact, ending the revenue stream to current pension plans will result in significantly higher employer costs. That means higher taxpayer costs.
Pennsylvania isn't the first state to experiment with this approach. A recent Keystone Research Center study showed more than a dozen states, including Minnesota and Texas, examined defined-contribution proposals similar to Corbett's. All those states concluded it was too costly. And just within the past few weeks, Florida voted down a defined-contribution plan.
States that have actually adopted defined-contribution plans have experienced higher costs. Since closing its teachers' defined-benefit plan in 2005, Alaska has seen the employer portion jump significantly. In Michigan, which began enrolling all new state employees in a defined-contribution plan in 1997, fund costs and liabilities skyrocketed.
Pension costs aren't the reason school districts across Pennsylvania are struggling to provide a quality education with vital programs such as preschool and full-day kindergarten, art and music, libraries, nurses and counselors and tutoring, enrichment and sports, to our children and grandchildren. They're struggling because Corbett cut nearly $1 billion in public education funding since taking office.
A state budget, like a family's budget, is about choosing priorities and making choices. The governor has made costly new business tax cuts to his corporate campaign contributors his top priority, instead of providing needed resources to schools, and adequate revenue for the commonwealth to deliver essential services like transportation and health care. Corbett has so far refused to close tax loopholes draining $800 million a year from our schools, colleges and universities and other public services, according to the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
Corbett's pension plan also would undermine bipartisan pension reform legislation passed less than three years ago. Act 120 of 2010, the Pension Reform Act, will gradually restore pension funding to sustainable levels, without jeopardizing the retirement security of public workers -- if given a chance. That law reduced employer pension costs for new employees to 2 percent of wages, raised the retirement age and increased the vesting period. It eliminated lump-sum withdrawals for employee contributions and created a shared-risk feature that increases employee contributions, should their pension systems suffer investment losses in the future.
All working Pennsylvanians -- whether they work in the public or private sector -- deserve an opportunity for a secure, modest retirement. Corbett and state lawmakers should promote retirement security for all Pennsylvanians, and not eliminate that security for hundreds of thousands of its middle-class citizens.

text: 5 Gay Things to Do in Philly This Week: Stonewall Kickball, the COLLAGE Festival, Noord Turns 1, and More By Josh Middleton | May 6, 2014 at 1:14 pm comment on this post Our picks for the best gay things to do in Philly this week. Stonewall Kickball Registration Washington D.C.'s Stonewall Kickball league is expanding to Philly, adding a new sport to Philly's already busy LGBT sports scene. Games begin in town on July 15th at Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Park in South Philadelphia, and organizers are looking for teammates to kick balls, run bases, and all that other stuff kickballers do. Registration is currently in progress, and you don't have to go anywhere to sign up. Just go to stonewallsports.org. Players will be able to play one game per week for the summer season, they'll receive a uniform T-shirt, and invitations to a bunch of social events hosted by the team's sponsor, Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar. Here's hoping somebody who can bend it like Beckham will be on your team! Noord's One-Year Anniversary Open House G Philly's 2013 pick for Best BYO, East Passyunk Avenue's Dutch eatery Noord, is turning 1 this year, and having a little shindig to celebrate. Stop by and congratulate out owner Joncarl Lachman, and nibble on some his famous bitterballen (Dutch braised pork meatballs), and some smoked fish. Tuesday, May 6, 6 p.m., free, Noord, 1046 Tasker Street. Miss Everything Pageant Kicks Off Josh Schonewolf is throwing another drag pageant? The answer is yes, and apparently this one is everything. Miss Everything, to be exact. Akin to his Songbird competition, this is a 10-week event that's looking for Philly's most ferocious, gorgeous, gag-worthy, fishy female (some of the contestants are biological women.) There are 16 vying for the prize, and they'll be lead through the competition — hilariously — by Brittany Lynn. Drag Official's Bee Reed, and drag queen mainstays Navaya Shay and TheGoddess Isis will serve as judges. Wednesday, May 7th, then every Wednesday until a winner is chosen, 9 p.m. (doors), 10 p.m. (show), $7, Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar, 200 South 12th Street. 15 Years of Philly Dyke March Opening Reception William Way kicks off its new exhibition, commemorating 15 years of the Philly Dyke March, with an opening party this Thursday. The exhibit will feature banners, posters, memorabilia, and photos from the Dyke March's past, as well as a bit of a recruitment sesh and T-shirt party for the upcoming June 7th walk. Refreshments will be served. Thursday, May 8th, 6 p.m., William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce Street. COLLAGE Festival 2014 The queer-centric 2014 COLLAGE Festival kicks off this week, showcasing three days of art that's dedicated to the "idea of collaboration, intermingling, exploration and diversity." Forty artists from around the world will showcase every kind of artistic medium — from movement and fashion to aerospace. Keep your eyes peeled for work by COLLAGE founder Toby Celery, singer-songwriter George Alley (pictured, and in the festival's trailer), and Dumpsta Players regular Lance Pawling. See a full itinerary and participating artists here. Thursday, May 8th to Saturday, May 10th, various times, free, Community Education Center, 3500 Lancaster Avenue.

The NBA and NFL boast some of the hottest cheerleaders in professional sports.
The Laker girls were the center of the showtime Lakers, and the Cowgirls are as much of an American icon as the star on the helmet.
The question remains, who is hotter?
After taking a short break from reporting on swag, I realized that the nation needs these debates more than ever. Because President Obama forgot to mention this in his State of the Union address, I will not break down who is hot and who is not.
Without delay, NFL or NBA: Who has the hotter cheerleaders.

text: Ten Questions Heading into the NHL Season Posted by Rick on Oct 1, 2009 21:00 ShareTweet The NHL season is finally here. Tonight the puck will drop in four arenas: Montreal @ Toronto Washington @ Boston Vancouver @ Calgary San Jose @ Colorado It's great to have games that mean something once again. One of the best things about a new hockey season is that you have no idea what's going to happen. One of the favorites could end up in the basement because their star player breaks his leg. A bad team could ride a hot goaltender all the way to the playoffs. A fat guy could lean too far forward while watching from his front row seat and break the glass, stopping an important game and killing someone's momentum. No one knows what is going to happen. That's why it's so exciting, because anything can happen. And just like every team starts the season with optimism, every team also starts the season with questions. Here are ten answers we'll be looking for during the season. What will Jim Balsillie attempt to buy next? If you think you've seen the last of him, you're wrong. Jim Balsillie is a spoiled kid who's never heard the word no. Just because he failed in buying the Penguins, Predators and Coyotes it doesn't mean that he won't keep trying. We're not sure that he's going about things the right way, however. A NHL franchise, even one based on Phoenix, is a large, difficult purchase. Jim should consider buying something smaller first. Maybe he could invest in a Dairy Queen or an IHOP. We've heard that they'd like an IHOP in Hamilton. Make It One, Jimmy. Make It One. With Max Talbot injured, who will fill the loveable womanizer/superstar role on the Pens? This is a pressing question for the Penguins and also for A&L Motors. We can't see Tyler Kennedy or Pascal Dupuis making "chica chica" noises and picking up the ladies. Of course, Talbot could surprise us all and manage to provide the ladies and the TV viewing audience with "superstar treatment" while wearing a sling and hopped up on painkillers. In fact, that's exactly what we expect to happen. What will Ovechkin and Green do next in their attempts to "out douchebag" each other? Between tramp stamps and faux hawks and GreenLife52, we're not sure what else these two could do. Maybe they'll go for nipple rings or gold chains. Maybe they'll take to wearing Bluetooth headsets at all times. Maybe they'll start turning their hats slightly sideways while showing off their abs and throwing up gang signs. We think Green will try and get the edge by wearing designer sunglasses during a game, only to be one-upped by Ovechkin simultaneously wearing three unreal shirts with popped collars. The media will praise both men for their enthusiasm and passion, despite the fact that neither player will enter their own defensive zone until mid 2010. Ovechkin will do so by accident. How long will Lidstrom survive without receiving a handshake? When you think about it, it will probably be about ten months from the 2009 Stanley Cup Final before Nicklas Lidstrom once again stands in a handshake line. We're a little worried that he won't be able to make it that long. At this point all we know is that he is fueled by handshaking. Kris Draper let the secret out in June: without handshakes Lidstrom will wither away. Rumor has it that his testicle was the first thing to go. What will be next? How will Draper react? There are so many questions. How many players will end up in jail following the first Flyers/Leafs game of the season? On January 6th, 2010 the Toronto Maple Leafs will enter the Wachovia Center and engage in battle. At this point we're not even sure if the referee will bring a puck. He'll likely just bring a large shield to protect himself from blood splatter. The minute Ray Emery takes off his skate, brandishes it like a weapon, and heads after Colton Orr the cops will be called. By the time Brian Burke climbs into Bobby Clarke's private box with a sharpened Popsicle stick, you'll see Beauchemin and Pronger being taken away in cuffs. Then the teams will meet again in Toronto on the 14th. The Canadian army will be called in. It won't help. Will Marian Gaborik play enough games to be inscribed on the Stanley Cup the Rangers will not win? A strong gust of New York wind is being cited as the reason for Marian Gaborik's season-ending injury. His $37.5 million deal remains safe. With Crosby being handed the Cup and Balsillie gone, what will Bettman do? Gary Bettman is probably a pretty happy guy right now. He successfully fixed the entire league in order to hand Sidney Crosby the Cup and he's shown his hatred for all things Canadian by eliminating Jim Balsillie. But what's left for the evil midget? Perhaps, just to further annoy Canadians, he will buy the Calgary Flames and move them to Little Rock, Arkansas before moving the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks to Phoenix. We hear it's a good hockey town. The Pittsburgh Penguins will go on to defeat the Phoenix Maple Leafs in five games to win the 2010 Stanley Cup. Gary Bettman will be caught on tape slipping the referee a twenty to call the game in Pittsburgh's favor. The series will take five games because a sweep would be too obvious. San Jose: Massive Choke Job or just an Average-Sized Choke Job? Yes, their regular season will be good, but what about the playoffs? What eighth seed will they lose to this year? How badly will they lose? These are the kind of questions that keep Joe Thornton up at night, along with whether or not the team has named a designated driver, what S.J. Sharkie had for breakfast and what shoes to wear to the rink. Will anyone ever want to play in Edmonton? It's cold and it's dark and we've heard it's filled with nothing but bears and elk. There was once a rumor that a player requested a trade to Edmonton, but it turned out he was just listing North American cities he refuses to enter. To compensate for this problem, the Oilers will remove the Wayne Gretzky statue from the front of Rexall Place and name it the team's starting center. Within a week the statue will demand to be traded to Los Angeles. How awesome will Crosby and Malkin be? If you're 22 or 23 you're probably sitting at home right now, reading this on a Dell and eating chips. Your typical night probably involves playing video games or heading out to a bar. And that's perfectly acceptable. That's what your life should be like at 22 or 23. When you're Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin your life is much different. You spend your birthday in a military helicopter with the Stanley Cup. You visit the President of the United States. You get driven around your hometown in a limo. And then you get back on the ice and dominate a professional sport. Malkin and Crosby aren't satisfied with one Stanley Cup. They're not going to rest.

Professional Conduct Policy
Making a transition from student to professional requires awareness of and adherence to how to conduct yourself in courses and in schools. This policy serves as a reminder for the main expectations and is related to Standard 4 (working and learning in a school and profession).
In this time of "becoming", you are moving from being a student to being a professional teacher. Thus, it is important that you begin to see yourself as a lifelong learner rather than a student fulfilling university requirements. Both your school‑based experiences and your university coursework are vital and integral components of your professional preparation. Because the way you conduct yourself in these settings reflects on you as a professional, we want to be clear about your responsibilities with regard to professional and ethical conduct. Failure to comply with these (and other university policies governing student conduct) will result in a review of your progress by the Elementary Teacher Preparation Program and specific recommendations regarding your continued participation towards teacher certification.
Attendance and Punctuality
You are expected to be present and on time for your professional commitments. If you must be absent from any one of your professional responsibilities due to illness or an emergency, you must inform the people who are affected by your absence. That is, for your field placement you must notify your mentor teacher, your field partner(s) if you have one, your field instructor, and if appropriate, your subject‑matter course instructor. For your on-campus courses, you must notify your course instructors. More than two absences during a semester from on‑campus courses or pre-internship field placements is cause for concern. Recurring absences or tardiness will put your recommendation for continuation in the program in jeopardy. During the internship, interns who are absent more than four days in a semester in their school placement may be required to make up the time.
If you have difficulty meeting this expectation because of an emergency or any other reason, talk to your course instructor or the Elementary Teacher Preparation Program Coordinator in advance. Informing the appropriate people about extenuating circumstances will allow us to work with you to make appropriate arrangements.
Classroom Discussions: Your field experiences are an important part of your learning and you will be discussing them in your courses. Just as teachers are expected to respect the privacy and dignity of the children and families with whom they work, so we expect you to use discretion. In casual conversations or social situations, do not relate stories from classrooms or schools that may be embarrassing to teachers or students or that include sensitive information about a child or family. When discussing classroom situations in class, do so carefully. Use a fictitious name for the student involved if you need to include family or individual information in your explanation or if the situation is particularly difficult. Mask the name of a student on any written or visual work shared in class or used in an assignment. When discussing teaching practice you have observed in the field, be mindful of maintaining a tone of professional courtesy.
Interviews: Use pseudonyms and screen/mask identifying information when reporting interviews with children/youth/adults. If an assignment requires you to interview an adult, you should clearly state or give to the interviewee, in writing, the purpose of the interview and the uses you will make of the material. Ask your instructor for an example if you are unsure how to word this statement.
Photographs/Videotapes/Audio tapes: Always ask permission of the classroom teacher to make photographs, videotapes. or audio tapes of students or to use them in displays/portfolios. Occasionally there are circumstances which require that a student's whereabouts be kept secret and photographs are not allowed. Some schools and districts require written permission from parents/guardians for taking any photographs, videotapes or audio tapes. Be sure to check with the classroom teacher on what is needed.
Portfolios: If you use students' work or interview material in your portfolio, use pseudonyms and screen/mask names and personal identifying information.
District Requirements: Ask your classroom teacher if there are any other district or school requirements regarding confidentiality that you should be aware of.
Dress and Deportment in Schools
When you are in school, you are expected to dress appropriately. You will be viewed and judged as another adult by students, parents, teachers and other people in the building. Be polite and considerate of other adults in the building including the principal, custodians, secretary, paraprofessionals, etc.
Alcohol and Illegal Drugs
The University Drug and Alcohol Policy will be enforced at all field placements and internship placements. This policy prohibits the possession or use of illegal drugs and alcoholic beverages in classes and field placements. Students are expected to be free of the influence of such substances in classes and field placements.
Professional Communication
Professional education can be an intensely personal and challenging process. In your classes and field placements, you are expected to give and accept constructive feedback appropriately and to react appropriately in stressful situations. You are also expected to take an active role in your learning and contribute to the learning of your fellow students.
If you have concerns, problems, or questions about any aspect of your coursework or fieldwork, you should first address them to the instructor or person who is most directly involved. This applies to situations at the university as well as in the field. If the situation is not resolved at that level, you should request assistance from the Elementary Teacher Preparation Program Coordinator or a faculty leader.

Skip to comments.(Vanity) Send Your Words of Support to the Volunteers of the Minuteman Project
Posted on 04/11/2005 10:44:14 AM PDT by Spiff
I was going through a number of threads related to the Minuteman Project to gather the many warm wishes and words of support that so many FReepers have expressed. I want to print them out and take them down to the Minuteman Project HQ and post them for all of the volunteers to see.
Then it occurred to me that a separate thread could be posted with the purpose of allowing people to express their support to the men and women volunteers with the Minuteman Project.
I'm not looking for any glory for myself as my actual volunteer time with the Minuteman Project has been limited for a number of reasons. I've done what I could to help out here and there, but I certainly don't deserve the praise better reserved for those who have sat on the hot and dusty front line for days on end. Those are the real heroes, not me.
So, let's use this thread to let the Minuteman Project volunteers and organizers know just how much we appreciate their patriotic efforts.
Thank you for all that you are doing for our country! You are true patriots and we are so proud of you! God Bless you and keep you safe down there!
Many, many Thanks from Long Island, NY.
I'm in the minuteman corner here.... Alabama bttt...
God bless our Minutemen, both 1776 and 2005.
--Boot Hill
Thanks, just saw this.
Here's how you say thanks, folks.
Gotta run...
When government is infiltrated or for whatever reasons refused to enforce the laws, there is no other choice but for the citizens to take action. As Bill O'Reilley stated today: this country is being invaded.
FReep on, Minutemen and Minutewomen!!!
The Minutemen, have made us feel hope for our great country. We all feel hope, and pride in what you are doing. And believe me, we are all thinking of each of you. And, thinking that we want to join you. Please know that Americans are grateful and praying for you.
We are so very proud of each of you. For those of us who can't be on the Border to help you out, we'll do what we can to donate to this very just cause.
God Bless you all.
Thank you for doing what our government should be doing. Hopefully Washington will get the message loud and clear!!!!
Keep on truckin' we are still watching from here in Texas.
Whisky 6
You are American heroes....don't let anyone tell you different. You are doing a job that needed to be done and making history at the same time.
Hope Washington gets the message and the project expands all along the border.
Many of us wish we could be there to share this with you.
Thank you for the attention you have brought to the subject of border security.
Many people still have no idea how bad the border situation is, how far reaching are the economic and cultural consequences of the millions of illegal aliens squatting in our country, nor how high up in the US Government the corruption and malfeasance with regard to border security and illegal immigration goes.
Their eyes are being opened, slowly, painfully, and hopefully not before it is too late.
You are doing the hard work and taking the risks to bring attention to this vital national security issue. You have my support, my prayers, and my admiration.
Be safe, keep the faith, you're in my prayers.
You guys are doing yomans work of freedom and are deserving of all of our thanks for the risks, the commitment, the standing up to misinormation and attacks, weeding oue infiltrations, enduring the threatenings of the Governor of Arizona, and despite it all, volunteering their time, on their dime, to go and do what needs to be done.
In my opinion, you are setting an example for us all and for our government, and I thank you for it, and my family thanks you for it, and we pray for your success and that the effort will grow dynamically as a result of what you have done...of the trailblazing you have accomplished. God bless 'em.
America was running low on Patriots until you folks showed up. To eachand everyone of you I stand at attention and give you a full salute. Many sincere thanks from the Mrs and myself.
Thanks for the wonderful job you are doing. You make me proud to be an American!
You are the new Minutemen of America and your patriotic mission in the defense of this great country will prove to be the pivotal change agent in getting our government to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities. Come Hell or High Water. God Bless You All.
Way to go, Minutemen. With a lot of luck we can get even more out next time; maybe someday cover the entire border.
What might Mexico, the ACLU, MSM, and illegal alien apologists say about that?
Keep up the good work.
Ahem. Sorry for the shout, but I just wanted to send just a hint of my personally gratitude to The Minute Men. :)
With you in spirit!
trapped in Phoenix!
For that, I:
To all you 'vigilantes' out there: GOD BLESS YOU! You are the first people in history to ever make a complete fool out of President GW Bush. He richly deserves to look the fool on this issue.
Rest assured that many Americans are praying for you guys.
You are finding out a lot of valuable, unreported information, you are proving that the 'CAN'T BE DONE' crowd is full of BS. You know the score-- the danger of transnational terrorists trumps all other concerns. And, you are getting this issue noticed.
You have handled yourselves admirably, under the watchful eyes of the ACLU.
Message from my Mom:
You are making Bush look he's full of beaurocratic BS, she wishes she could be there with you guys. "You are doing a great job. You're showing the government how foolish they are. Keep up the good work. I'm proud of you. You are real patriots!"
My mom, BTW, has a wall covered with Bush and Laura photos. But she takes borders seriously, too.
"When the minute men gathered at Concord Bridge on April 19, 1775, to face the British, this colorful banner waved over them. The square shape was typical of cavalry flags at the time. Emerson wrote of that battle: "By the Rude Bridge that arched the flood, their flag to April's breeze unfurled, here once the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard around the world." Today the "First Flag of the Revolution" may still be seen at the Bedford Library in Bedford, Massachusetts. This priceless relic is the oldest flag in the United States."
You guys are the modern embodiment of this spirit, our sentinals in the scrub proving that (above) average citizens can still make a real difference without "their government's permission". I sincerely regret not being there with you. May God keep you all safe from enemies foreign and domestic. There's no doubt which one of those poses the greater threat. Your participation harms these latter-day Quislings most of all - an unexpected bonus!
And Spiff, you're too modest. Give my regards to JB and I hope IRBP a swift recovery.
Thanks for standing up to the purveyors of political correctness and not backing down in the face of an attack by the liberal media and pro illegal immigration advocates.
The Americans who have risen up against the illegal invasion are not "vigilantes" or "racists" or "the enemy." They are the PATRIOTS, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. (sound familiar?)
Border Patriots ~ Bump!
As a Texan, I'm very disapointed that this project was not originated on the Texas border. When it begins here I will participate. God bless the MMP and all who support them.
You Minutemen and Minutewomen are true American heroes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks for giving our side a voice, guys.
Keep it up.

Sound like a winner. I do beef liver once a week an kimchi pretty everyday. The idea of combining the two sounds super nutritional, and I bet the kimchi flavor covers the liverness.
I tried it this evening and it was quite good. My Vitamix blades are getting a little dull, so the kimchi was a little stringy, bu the otherall texture was good. It was a little more runny than I expected, almost like a wet tuna salad.

I was born in 1946 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and from the time I was six months old, I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. I left for college eighteen years later and spent four years in Wheaton, Illinois; three years in Pasadena, California; three years in Munich, Germany; and the rest of my life in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. But those early years in South Carolina are the roots of my racial burden.
The population of South Carolina in 1860 was about 700,000. Sixty percent were African Americans (420,000), and all but 9,000 of these were slaves. That's a mere 150 years ago—only fifty-nine years before my father was born. On December 20, 1860, South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union, largely in protest over Abraham Lincoln's election as an anti-slavery president and the implications that had for states' rights. Three weeks later, the Civil War began in Charleston, South Carolina.
Over four years later, on April 9, 1865, the war ended with the surrender of Southern general Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House. Ninety years later, when I was nine years old in Greenville, the enforced segregation was almost absolute: drinking fountains, public restrooms, public schools, public swimming pools, bus seating, housing, restaurants, hospital waiting rooms, dentist waiting rooms, bus station waiting rooms, and—with their own kind of enforcement—churches, including mine. I can tell you from the inside that, for all the rationalized glosses, it was not "separate but equal." It was not respectful, it was not just, it was not loving, and therefore it was not Christian. It was ugly and demeaning. And, as we will see, because of my complicity I have much to be sorry about.
Which is one reason this book focuses so heavily on the gospel of Jesus Christ. I owe my life and hope to the gospel. Without it I would still be strutting with racist pride, or I would be suffering the moral paralysis of "white guilt." But the gospel has an answer to both pride and guilt. I hope this book makes that plain.
Growing up black in Greenville
Three and a half miles across town from where I grew up, in the same city, five years older than I, another little boy was growing up on the other side of the racial divide. His name was Jesse Jackson. Jackson was born October 8, 1941, at his home on 20 Haynie Street. When Jackson was thirteen the family moved to a newly constructed housing project, Fieldcrest Village (now Jesse Jackson Townhomes), three miles to the east. His biographer describes the boyhood neighborhood:
A dingy warren of flimsy little houses, with plank porch railings ranked with rusted coffee cans that, in the summer, held rufflings of geraniums and caladiums. Each house was perched on a tiny, grassless, rutted yard, some scattered with wood chips and upturned washtubs and old tires and bluish puddles of pitched-out dishwater, others whisked clean with straw brooms and enclosed by spindly fences assembled out of scraps of boards and wire, with walkways bordered by bits of brick and cement block and broken bottles set in neat parallel lines in the dirt.
Our worlds were so close and yet so far apart. His mother, Helen, loved the same Christian radio station my mother did—WMUU, the voice of Bob Jones University. But there was a big difference. The very school that broadcast all that Bible truth would not admit blacks. And the large, white Baptist church four miles from Jesse Jackson's home wouldn't either. Nor would mine.

I didn't verify the measurements of our banquet room before buying this. So we ordered it and we have 10 feet ceilings with a 12 foot high arch. But it was absolutely customizable we cut some pieces off and shortened the sides and made it work and it still looked gorgeous. We put some uplights in front and behind it and used it for pictures. Everyone loved it and it matched perfectly with the linen. I will definitely be ordering from here again for any future decoration needs. It was a great value and it got here fast! Thanks so much!

I know (now) for sure the things that drive me crazy in my kids are the things that drive me crazy in myself. It took me a very long time to figure it out though.
You are such an adventurous cook, all of your stuff sounds so yummy.

Holy cow, your food sounds good. What time should I arrive?
I was unimpressed with your rain, since I was stuck in it on the plane for what seemed like hours. The folks in our Austin office have a running joke with me. It rains almost every time I go there, so they ask me to come and bring the rain. I did not fail them this time!
Oh! Can you come a week from Monday? That's when we could use some more. Thanks, that would be awesome!
The onion custard-bacon cups are ready now. For the rest, don't arrive until this evening. I'm going to start the cooking AFTER I get the fair prep done. First things first. I'm giving myself until 9:07 to play on the computer, then I must DO STUFF!
Demuralist-the onion custard is a variation of an old German recipe, Zwiebelkuechen (onion cake-but more of a tart). I LOVE it, and am very impressed with myself that I thought of making a bacon crust. These few years I have just not been eating the crust, but this will be some much better. And...they look adorable.
Made sushi for Littlest's lunch yesterday( and Honey's post-work snack). I confess, i always feel like Super-Mom when I send SUSHI to school. I mean, if any packed lunch deserves a gold star, that is it!
Have discovered a new tv series to enjoy on dvd from the library: Leverage. Honey likes it, too, so we'll be watching together. Successfully resisted buying the dvd of Walking Dead, Season 3 at Costco. Guess my willpower (or won'tpower) is getting stronger.
Aggravated by a mailing my congressman sent. I think I need to write him a strongly worded letter. What a doofus. (Okay, he's probably NOT a doofus. But taking credit for something I consider a travesty, should receive some kind of scold. Let him know not ALL his constituents think this is a good idea.)
I think my DH likes Leverage... A lady on the plane recommended a BBC series called "Call the Midwives". If it is on Netflick or Amazon prime, I will see what I think.
I will be going through Dallas on Monday afternoon and back through on Thursday. Of course, an airport stopover is not always a guarantee of rain, but I'll do what I can
Recipe for the onion tart?
Slice massive quantities of onions (I used two for this last small batch, and it made 8 'muffins'. Usually I use about 10 for a baking sheet mega-cake.)
Caramelize in bacon grease or coconut oil over low heat, slowly. Let cool.
Add sour cream (1/2C per 2 onions) and eggs(1 per 2 onions, I used 2 this time, because I want more volume), stir together.
Pour into a prepared pie crust and top with chunks of bacon OR pour into bacon-lined muffin tins.
Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes for muffins or about 45 minutes for pie. Let cool. Serve room-temperature or chilled.
Oh, man. Now I want to have a piece!
And what am I doing, back on the forum, you may well ask? Taking a break. Pricing these bags is tedious! But I have the timer set.
oh, thanks for that, I searched in Pinterest and there was nothing.
Was going to make it for lunch, until I realized I had no eggs...
-- Ruth
A very nice Up Day yesterday. I went to my fair (did okay, but not great) and successfully ate ONLY the items I brought for myself. Then went to a party with Honey, and had only the toppings of four slices of pizza(I consider this the perfect primal pizza compromise). No soda, which was easy, (compared to booch, who wants a soda?) no ice cream, which was less easy, but still not hard.
Then home and zonking into bed. Woke up very thirsty this morning. I didn't drink enough yesterday. Ready for an all-liquid-and-lots-of-it Down Day.
Here's the details:
Up at 5:00(not on purpose)
5:45 2 zweibelkuchen cups
1 low-carb crepe with jam and cream
9:00 salami
11:00 mushroom quiche
12:00 heroin wings with ranch dip
1 zwiebelkuchen cup
2:30 3 crepes with cream and strawberries
4:00 more heroin wings with ranch
mushroom quiche
lara bar
8:00 tops of four slices of pizza
Water: 8 glasses
Walking: a little here and there
Pains: 24(down from 33 yesterday, ugh, a bad day)
Sun: not much, but probably more than I think
Bed at 10:00
After I finish my tea, I'm going to walk the dogs(it is beautifully crisp outside), pick up Littlest from church, then slug around a bit until Honey and i go to see WorldWarZ at the dollar theater.
Oh, and I'm checking my latest batch of booch today, to see if it is ready to bottle. Fingers crossed. If it is, I will have new booch just as I run out of old!

"My teenage son is very mature for his age." "My teenage daughter is more responsible than some adults I know." Your teen is still too young to drink alcohol.
Scientific research has proven that alcohol damages the adolescent brain, but if you still believe there is nothing wrong with teens drinking, there is one indisputable fact. It is illegal to provide alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age in Pennsylvania - no exceptions.
To date, 41 states have exceptions to the minimum drinking age ranging from "with parental consent on private property" to "for religious purposes." Nine states prohibit underage drinking with "no exceptions." Pennsylvania is one of the nine.
Pennsylvania's Liquor Code includes social hosting laws that do not exempt parents from liability. The law can hold parents responsible even if they did not supply the alcohol but allowed the drinking to occur on their property. Additionally, adults are criminally liable when they provide alcohol to anyone under 21 who is injured, killed or cause a death or injury while under the influence of alcohol.
Community coalitions such as Blair Countians for Drug Free Communities (www .drugfreeblaircounty.com) work to educate and increase awareness on the dangers and legal repercussions of underage drinking, drinking and driving, and other drug issues.
In 2008, 4 percent of the accidents in Pennsylvania in the 16-20 age group involved drinking drivers. In Pennsylvania, the zero tolerance law makes it illegal for anyone under 21 years old to operate a vehicle with any trace of alcohol in his or her system. In other words, there is no legal limit for persons under 21 years old - no exceptions.
Your son may be mature for his age or your daughter very responsible, but you have a responsibility as a parent. When you allow underage drinking, you put your child's health at risk. You also send a very clear message - if you do not agree with the law just ignore it.

OUT IN western Pennsylvania, just up the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh, brewer Matt Gouwens has a green thumb and a dream: One of these days, he'll be brewing fresh beer with Pennsylvania-grown hops.
He's so certain of that dream, he's planted almost an acre of hops on his own property and boldly named his company Hop Farm Brewing Co.
"Local hops, local beer," Gouwens vowed.
For now, it's just a dream.
His acreage is nowhere near enough to provide enough hop for his small-batch brewery. Most of his supply comes from big hops farms in the Pacific Northwest, the source of almost all American-grown hops.

"Nagauta" means "long song" and began as several short songs strung together. Because it developed the most within the Kabuki theater in Edo, it is often called "Edo Nagauta." In its purest form, Nagauta is a lyrical form with texts that are poetic and allusive. They describe a character's feelings indirectly, through poetic images and mood. Melody and rhythm are also very important. Pieces like Musume Dojoji (JTRAD 039) show the classical form of Nagauta. However, in the 19th century, the narrative Ozatsuma style became part of Nagauta as well, so that late Nagauta pieces alternate narrative sections set off by spectacular Ozatsuma shamisen patterns and purely lyrical sections. The selection from Kokaji (JTRAD 041) focuses on one of these Ozatsuma sections.
Although dances like Musume Dojoji that form independent scenes are very important in Nagauta, most of the popular Nagauta pieces that are used for Kabuki dance today come from series of short dances called Hengemono or "transformation dances" all featuring a single actor. Famous pieces from these series include Fuji Musume (The Wisteria Maiden), Sagi Musume (The Heron Maiden) and Echigo Jishi (The Echigo Lion Dancer). Nagauta is the most important form of music used for Kabuki dance, but also, Nagauta musicians provide all of the background music --that is, the songs that open scenes and the shamisen music that underscores spoken lines. When playing background music, the Nagauta musicians sit behind a black grille to the audience's left.
Nagauta is most closely associated with the Kabuki theater, but in the 19th century, gradually a repertory developed that could be played in banquet chambers as pure concert pieces. These pieces include Matsu no Midori (JTRAD 038) and Aki no Irokusa (JTRAD 042) that began as pure musical pieces without dance and independent of the Kabuki theater.

We used two forms of visual feedback. One was a display of the Po signal on an oscilloscope, and the other was movement of cellophane streamers placed in front of the children's mouths. Participants were two 5-year-old boys who had been using cochlear implants (CIs) for less than 6 months. Both children were congenitally deafened and had very limited speech production and perception skills. In addition to frequent usage of –Po, both children exhibited deviant phonatory behaviors, so phonatory goals were incorporated into treatment. The magnitude and direction of Po was monitored, as well as fundamental frequency and electroglottograph cycle width. Data were collected at baseline, before and after treatment sessions, and 7 weeks after termination of treatment. One child responded well to treatment of –Po with both forms of visual feedback, and progress was maintained at follow-up. For the other child, +Po occurred more frequently as the study progressed, and he rarely produced –Po by the end of the investigation. However, because changes were evident in baseline as well as during treatment, it is difficult to attribute his more frequent use of +Po specifically to treatment. The phonation of the two children changed in ways that were consistent with their phonatory goals, although the degree of change was not always significant. Change was more evident for phonatory behaviors that could be shaped with visual feedback. Although both children exhibited some undesirable speech/voice behaviors in response to visual feedback, there was no evidence of long-lasting mislearning. Although our data are limited, it appears that treatment of –Po can be efficacious for some young children with CIs, even those with very poor speech perception and speech production skills. Further, treatment of –Po can be incorporated effectively with other speech production goals.

Day Brightener – MLIT
People are crazy, we all know this. But what I don't think we know is the sheer magnitude that this level of craziness can reach. Some people hurt animals, some people like to watch old people having sex, and some people dedicate their existence to TWILIGHT.
I don't know about you, but I thought the books put me on a emotional level between complete boredom and complete intellectual collapse, but it's fine, they were written for people between the ages of 0 and 15, but who would have thought these dull, pre-school books could have created as much of hype and stir in the world as the teen-blockbuster movies?
To me, this series is mediocre in every way. From pure America-meets-Hollywood screenwriting to the casting of tween "hotties", Twilight is set to lullaby the Film aficionado into a perfect R.E.M sleep. But besides how un-entertaining these movies are the ying to this yang is the lengths that human beings will contort their psyche and mould their existence to adhere to the corporation driven production's desires of perfect advertisement based obsession… It's hilarious!
So today's day brightener is the sight mylifeistwilight.com… This day brightener is so hilarious that it could keep you entertained for months.. just pick your quote and laugh out loud!

December 27, 1999
The efforts and accomplishments of citizen activists in the Snoqualmie Valley dominated the news in 1999.
In January, Fall City residents came together to protest King County's urban reserve zoning around the town. Community members feared the designation threatened to change their cherished rural area forever.
The Fall City Citizens Action Committee brainstormed, and by September, their recommendations became part of Ron Sims' new Fall City Subarea Plan. The recommendations included zoning changes and adding a rural character protection program.
In March, Duvall-area residents learned for the first time that a rock quarry was planned that would, if it proceeded, eventually remove an entire cliffside from the Valley. Gearing up for the long fight, the residents formed into a group they called Friends of Cherry Valley.
The group filed a lawsuit against King County, contending that zoning for the quarry was obtained without the necessary environmental studies. They claim the quarry will cause traffic congestion and adversely affect water tables, air quality, and fish habitat.
The city of Carnation decided it wasn't going down without a fight, either. After a police department scandal shook up City Hall, the town contracted with King County for police services. Town officials did not stop there in their cleanup campaign, however, and decided to ask the voters if they wanted to change their form of government from mayor/council to council/manager. Residents approved the change in May.
In February, the Duvall City Council heard from Olympic Pipe Line representatives who told the council that the proposed pipeline designed to run from Woodinville, through Duvall and Carnation and over the Cascade mountain range, is "the safest, most reliable, and cheapest way to ship petroleum."
Then, on June 10, a leak in the pipeline near Bellingham resulted in an explosion that killed two 10-year-old boys and a teenager. Later that month, and a day after Duvall City Engineer Elizabeth Goode recommended that the City Council oppose the project, Olympic Pipe Line withdrew its application for the new fuel line.
In April, the Snoqualmie Tribe packed their bags and moved their offices to a much-needed and more spacious facility on the Preston-Fall City Road. Even better news came early in October when the tribe learned it had finally been granted legal status. Tribal members celebrated in their new quarters.
In May, Riverview Supervisor Dr. Jack Ernst announced he was accepting a job with a school district in Missouri. The District then launched a search for an interim superintendent.
Just before the Fourth of July, the historic Grange Store in Carnation burned to the ground, consuming two businesses with it--NAPA Auto Parts and Eldorado Stone Corp. Two more fires later in the year destroyed another building used by Eldorado Stone and a popular restaurant.
By midsummer, the long-awaited construction of the new Safeway in Duvall began. The massive project is continuing to cause minor traffic holdups along SR-203.
Early in August, the Duvall City Council became alarmed with how fast the city was growing, and enacted a six-month emergency moratorium on development until the sewage treatment plant could be studied.
And county traffic engineers told Duvall-area residents that the Novelty Bridge replacement project was still on schedule for 2000. In 1899, the original bridge was completed over the Snoqualmie River at a cost of $6,000. It was referred to in accounts of the opening event as "a great accommodation to the people of that place."
Today, it is not only an accommodation, it is a necessity for the 7,000 drivers who use the bridge on NE 124th every day. But during the last couple of weeks of 1999, those drivers got a glimpse of what life could be like for them from March to October next year.
During mid-December, NE 124th was closed due to high water. During the evening commutes, traffic was backed up on the Woodinville-Duvall Road halfway to Cottage Lake.
County engineers claim traffic improvements, such as additional lights and turn lanes at critical intersections, will mitigate the impacts. But many residents aren't buying it. Traffic lights, scheduled to be installed in 1999, are still not in place. And the area continues to grow at a staggering pace.
In 1900, the first wagon road was completed between Snohomish and Fall City. It took days to go anywhere. Now, when NE 124th is flooded over, it just seems like days.
It's all part of a growing and changing Snoqualmie Valley. The State Growth Management Act required road capacity to keep up with population growth. But that didn't happen, and dealing with the results will be a huge challenge for the year 2000 and beyond.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Clank!
The Pistons held Dallas to its worst game offensively this season and Rasheed Wallace backed up his talk with 21 points and nine rebounds in a 90-67 win Sunday.
The Mavericks had their lowest scoring game while making a season-low 30 percent of their shots.
Dallas missed 16 straight shots - spanning 8½ minutes in the first and second quarters - leading to scoring a season-low 38 points and shooting a season-worst 29 percent in the first half.
"We were active and switched more than we usually do," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "And, we threw a couple zones in."
Dallas had a rough day at the other end of the court, too.
Pistons 90, Mavericks 67
Records: Detroit improves to 34-13. Dallas falls to 31-15.
Brick City: The Mavericks shoot a season-low 30 percent from the field.
Walking the Walk: Rasheed Wallace scores 21 points for the Pistons.
Wallace said the Pistons had to take advantage of the undersize Mavericks by going inside, and he did.
The bombastic center scored over Dirk Nowitzki on a fadeaway late in the third quarter as Detroit pulled away, and Wallace had more to say to the Mavericks.
"He can't guard me!" Wallace screamed toward Dallas' bench.
Saunders isn't sure anybody in the NBA can effectively defend Wallace under some conditions.
"When Rasheed is ready, motivated and focused, he can dominate anyone he plays," Saunders said. "He's that good."
The Pistons were on the other end of a 102-86 rout a month ago in Dallas.
"They looked a little like the Mavericks the time we played them down in Dallas," coach Avery Johnson said. "They really wanted to even up the series, and they came out and took care of business."
Nowitzki had 15 points on 3-of-18 shooting and 10 rebounds, Josh Howard scored 15 and reserve Brandon Bass added 14.
Despite Dallas' awful start, Detroit led just 20-14 after the first quarter and 44-38 at halftime.

Central News Agency
Legislator Lin Yi-shih, who is head of the KMT's policy committee, said the leading members of the caucus, after consultation with Cabinet officials, decided Friday to ask the plenary session of the legislature to postpone the third reading of the bill.
However, the legislature is expected to make a firm decision on the revisions at its next plenary session on April 27, Lin said.
The KMT lawmakers stalled the bill amid complaints in the media about a clause that would require news organizations to obtain the consent of an individual before they could publicize his or her personal information. This is seen likely to cramp the operations of many publications and TV talk shows that have built their business on sensational expose's.
The controversy flared up Tuesday after the legislature's Organic Laws and Statutes Committee decided to strike out a clause in the amendments that would have exempted the media from the consent requirement.
The mass-circulated China Times said in its editorial Thursday that the revised bill is unconstitutional, and if it is passed it will ruin the country's hard-earned freedom of the press and undermine President Ma's promise to protect human rights.
The editorial blasted the Ministry of Justice, which crafted the original version of the amendments, and the legislature, which struck out the media exemption clause, as the chief culprits in what it said was a bungled attempt to protect pesonal data. Meanwhile Tan Cheng-hsiang, director of the Legal Affairs Department under the Ministry of the Justice said the revisions were aimed at protecting people's personal information rather than limiting freedom of the press.
The original intention was to exclude the mass media from the stipulation, but this idea was opposed by the majority of people with whom the ministry consulted, he added.

JUNE 21, 2012 - Principals' Biweekly Message
The General Assembly has presented a budget for the 2012-13 school year. There is a great deal of interest and rhetoric swirling around this, and a spreadsheet highlighting the details is available on the Financial and Business Services website (www.ncpublicschools.org/fbs - first item under What's New). The LEA discretionary reduction was lowered by $143.3 million and will continue at the level of $359.7 million. New funds are being provided for third grade reading support ($27 million), and a 1.2 percent pay increase for teachers and other educators ($85 million). Federal EduJobs funds used to support school-based personnel are gone and will not be replaced. That totaled $259 million in 2011-12. Bottom line is that public schools will have $189.7 million less to support positions next year. So while some elements have been improved there are still a number of issues of great concern.

NCDPI Receives Grant to Fund Statewide Longitudinal Data System
The N.C. Department of Public Instruction recently received a three-year, $3.64 million grant award from the U.S. Department of Education to design, develop and implement a statewide, P-20 longitudinal data system. NC P-20W (preschool [P] through higher education [grade 20] through workforce [W]), the state's longitudinal data system, will enable education leaders at all points along the NC education-workforce continuum to access a "big picture" view of trends in student performance to help better prepare graduates for a career and college. To read more, please visit www.ncpublicschools.org and click on the appropriate link under "News."
Extended Learning Opportunities Critical to Improving Reading Skills
The 2011-12 school year is over for our students, and our kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders have made much progress in learning how to read. About 30,000 to 40,000 of these students who have made so much progress are about to lose two-and-a-half to three months of reading progress. To find out why and to learn what North Carolina could do about it, read the State Superintendent's latest blog post at www.ncpublicschools.org/statesuperintendent/blog/ .
State Board Chairman: Conference Budget Fails North Carolina
State Board of Education Chairman Bill Harrison addresses the budget passed by the General Assembly in his latest blog post. He writes, "Lawmakers have clearly chosen to put politics before the needs of students and in making that choice, they have let all of North Carolina down." To read more, visit http://stateboard.ncpublicschools.gov/chairmans-blog/20120621 .
Assessment and Accountability READY Materials Available Online
Interested in tools that lay out what's coming in 2012-13 in assessment and accountability? Then you will want to visit www.ncpublicschools.org/ready/resources/ to get PDFs and PowerPoints that describe the basics of what to expect. You'll get more on assessment and accountability at the Summer Institute and throughout the summer and fall. If you have questions or suggestions about what you need most from us, email staff at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Unpacking Standards for Guidance Curriculum Online
Unpacking Standards for the Guidance Essential Standard Support Tools have been added to the ACRE website. The new material includes standards for Early Independent, Early Emergent/Emergent, Independent, Progressing and Readiness/Exploratory/Discovery. Unpacking standards are documents for educators that define the skills students must master to accomplish specific goals. The documents list the essential standards for each grade level and subject, and provide detailed examples on how to teach a standard. To access the standards, please visit www.ncpublicschools.org/acre/standards/support-tools/#essunpacking .
NCVPS Online Professional Development
NCVPS offers online professional development for central office and school-based personnel in order to better prepare them to integrate NCVPS courses into the curriculum and to assist in the development of student support processes. Weekly webinars are offered on various topics ranging from registration processes to budget planning. Sessions are live and also are recorded for later viewing.

Ask my arts
As you all know by now, some gifted prankster recently placed paintings – caricatures, essentially – of our esteemed Taoiseach in the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) and the National Gallery. RTE reported it. And then the Taoiseach's office had a quiet word and RTE apologised. Whatever your feelings about the nature of the joke, the work itself, or the manner in which it appeared (and come ON, can anyone really believe that our government representatives are above satire?), the fact that our national broadcaster performed a mincing U-turn is nothing short of shameful. Your thoughts, dear readers?

Keith McShea's rankings of the best of the fall:
1. East Aurora cross country. This is why they live in this spot: The Blue Devils, whose boys and girls teams are ranked first among WNY small schools, dominated the Alden Stampede – competing as a large schools.
2. Canisius football: The unanimous No. 1 large school. Crusaders should have been unanimous last week.
3. Bishop Timon-St. Jude football. Memorable homecoming game saw Tigers' first win over St. Joe's in a decade. One Friday later, another great matchup at Fitzpatrick Field as Timon hosts Canisius.
4. Clarence girls swimming. Owns WNY's best times in eight of 11 events. Among those are three relays, in which the Red Devils are a combined 17 seconds faster than the runners-up.
5. Williamsville East soccer. No. 2 boys large school goes for undefeated regular season today, No. 1 large school girls team in Western New York.
6. Williamsville North boys golf. Won ECIC North Large School title with the school's first undefeated season, recorded lowest score in the 36-year history of the Williamsville Cup, qualified all eight starters for ECIC individuals and won school's second straight ECIC overall team title Monday.
7. Orchard Park and Nichols girls tennis. Both undefeated. OP was ECIC I champ this year … and the previous seven, with a 97-1 record over that time. Vikings went 8-0 with victories over ECIC III champion Amherst and ECIC IV champ East Aurora.
8. Lockport soccer. Excellent job by second-year coach Mike Finnerty to turn the girls program around all the way to a Niagara Frontier League title. The boys won their third straight league crown by going undefeated for the first time.
9. Kenmore East boys golf. Bulldogs went 20-1 to win the NFL title. Mike Davern earned medalist honors while in third was – can't make this name up – Ricky Shotwell.

The cloudiness comes from chill haze. Yeast does not re-suspend in cold conditions.
Posted in thread: Mr Malty Hybrid Fermentation Yeast Pitch? on 05-25-2011 at 01:42 AM
No. it is not the volume, perse, but the amount of yeast that volume of wort produces. Can you
get a 2 liter flask?

Posted in thread: Fun pictures of an alien growth on 05-14-2011 at 03:42 AM
Which yeast did you use? That isn't krausen since krausen is the nasty foam that sits on top of
your fermenting beer, but it might be a yeast cake from a flocculant strain.

Oh and if you can find some brett anomalus, that will eat lactose.
Posted in thread: Potential problems? on 05-12-2011 at 01:41 AM
Complex sugars like lactose aren't quite as sweet as simpler sugars like table sugar and corn
Posted in thread: When to bottle? on 05-06-2011 at 09:54 AM
More for predictability than anything else.
Posted in thread: When to bottle? on 05-06-2011 at 01:39 AM
My raspberry brett stout will be six weeks old on saturday and it has been at 1.020 for about
three weeks now. (Down from 1.061) Note that about nine points of the remaining gravity come
from lactose....
Posted in thread: how big of a stater will i need? on 05-05-2011 at 02:19 AM
If you want to keep it really simple, just get 6 to 10 packets of danstar nottingham yeast and
rehydrate before pitching.
Posted in thread: I completely underestimated role of oxygen on 04-24-2011 at 07:14 PM
+1 on pure oxygenation. I use an inline oxygenator, and its positive effects are undeniable. If
you don't want to oxygenate, then don't; home brewing means making your own beer your own way.

Sport Chek Canadian Snowboardcross Championships presented at Big White Ski Resort in Kelowna, BC, March 25 - 30
BIG WHITE, BRITISH-COLUMBIA (MARCH 25, 2013) – Canada's best Snowboardcross athletes will take part in the Sport Chek Canadian Snowboardcross Championships from March 25 - 30 at Big White Ski Resort. Spectators will have the opportunity to watch performances from 2010 Olympic Champion and 2013 FIS World Champion Maëlle Ricker from Squamish, BC as well as Blue Mountain FIS World Cup victor Chris Robanske from North Vancouver, BC.
Alongside the Sport Chek Canadian Championships, the two last stops of the IPC World Cup tour will also be presented on the same course. These races will feature Canadian medal hopefuls Tyler Mosher from Whistler, BC and Ian Lockey from Arnprior, ON at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games.
"I'm looking forward to the Nationals. I heard the track is going to be great for everyone. The crew at Big White is so passionate about our sport and they always put on an amazing event. I can't wait to watch the juniors race and do a bunch of training together," said four times Olympian Maëlle Ricker.
Canada Snowboard's snowboardcross and para-snowboard teams had an excellent season this year combining two FIS World Championships medals, one FIS Crystal Globe, 19 podiums and 15 top-10's on the FIS and IPC World Cup tour. These Canadian snowboardcross Championships and IPC World Cups will be the last chance to see our Olympic hopefuls compete here in Kelowna before the Sochi 2014 winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
"Big White was chosen because of our reputation as a solid snowboardcross venue. To have the IPC Para-Snowboard World Cup at Big White allows us to have a chance to showcase what we can do," said Flynn Seddon, Director of Terrain Park and Outdoor events.

Choose mint candies that go right along with your party theme. Baseball party mints are the perfect addition to a kid's sports themed birthday party, or have them at a victory party for the All Star baseball team. Throwing a World Series party? These individually wrapped mints add just the right touch. Celebrate the New Year with mints printed with the year, or a casino party with casino mints placed around the room. Safari printed mints are a fun way to add a little fun to any type of party whether it is a birthday or a special corporate event.
Planning a large corporate event? Place bowls of mint candy around the event room or conference center for guest to take when they need it. Choose company colors to match your event whether it is red, blue, gold, black or yellow buttermints. The guest will appreciate the small gesture and since they are individually wrapped, they can even take a few extra for later. Wholesale mint candy placed in festive containers is an easy way to add a personal touch to your event helps to make it unique and special.

Update, 2:12 p.m.:
Here's video highlights of the loss…
Original Post:
Derek Stepan extended his IIHF World Championship point streak with an assist, but it wasn't enough as Team USA fell to Switzerland 5-3 in its final qualification-round game today.
The Americans had already clinched a berth in the tournament quarterfinals with their win over France on Saturday along with help.
Team USA will now travel to the Slovak capital of Bratislava to open the quarterfinals against the Czech Republic on Wednesday.
Stepan finished his afternoon with five shots in 17:38 of ice time, while Chris Kreider played on the third line and saw 8:15 of ice time and McDonagh had two shots on goal in 15:38.
Stepan now has 2g, 6a in the tournament.
…it hasn't always been pretty for this young American team, but they deserve a lot of credit for getting to the quarterfinals. Looking forward to Wednesday's game.
Meanwhile, Marian Gaborik had an assist as the host Slovaks snapped a four-game slide as they defeated Denmark 4-1 in their final qualification-round game, but the victory came after Slovakia had already been eliminated from medal contention as they completed the tournament with a 2-4-0 record.
Gaborik finished the tournament with 2g, 1a.
…let's hope scoring a couple of goals will get Gabby in a positive mindset going into next season.
