Beamer soccer remains unbeaten and atop rankings
The No. 1-ranked Todd Beamer Titan girls soccer team needed a late goal to avoid an upset attempt by the Puyallup Vikings Thursday night.
Jessica Sanchez took a pass from Megan Miller in the 72nd minute to give the Titans the 2-1 victory at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The win improved the Titans to 5-0-0 on the season a year after playing in the Class 4A state championship game.
"The girls have high standards for themselves and are focused on that common goal," said head coach Carrie Henstchell. "Up to this point, we've had some great connections but haven't solidified a starting lineup."
Puyallup (3-3-0) got on the board early with a goal from Midori Moorehead in the 15th minute to take a 1-0 lead, which is how it stayed until the second half. Beamer tied the game on a goal from Jessica Niewoehner in the 55th minute.
"We still have amazing speed, possess the ball well and have incredible heart," Hentschell said. "It may not be as pretty as last year but this group can get it done. They're very capable."
Last year, Beamer rolled through the South Puget Sound League South Division unbeaten, but lost five senior starters from that team.
"Those five seniors left behind big shoes to fill no doubt about it," Hentschell said. "Building on last year's state run is definitly a motivation for this year's squad."
The Titans have another big game tomorrow night when they host second-place Graham-Kapowsin (4-1-1) at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.
Decatur moved to 4-1-0 in the SPSL South with a 2-0 win over Rogers Thursday. The Gators got goals from Ashley Graves and Stephanie Kirk and the shutout from Kayla Lipston.
Jefferson got back on track with a 13-0 win over

In politics, it used be who you know that counted. But New Jersey Assemblyman Charles Mainor is learning that who you "like" is becoming important, at least as far as Facebook goes.
Among the five Facebook pages "liked" by Mainor since the start of this year are Big Bootie Freaks and another page that features videos of vicious assaults, NJ.com reports.
The other page, You Got Knocked the Fck Out Man, "includes videos from WorldStarHipHop, the shock website that two weeks ago posted a savage video of a group of thugs stripping and whipping a Newark boy with a belt," NJ.com said. The spelling of the obscenity is the one used on Facebook.
The two pages were stricken from Mainor's Favorites list less than an hour after The Jersey Journal contacted him about them, NJ.com said.
Mainor at first denied having "liked" the pages, then admitted to having "liked" You Got Knocked the Fck Out Man. Regarding Big Bootie Freaks, he said:
"Listen, I love women, but it shouldn't be on there but I don't know how to get it out."
It's not the first time Mainor has gotten into trouble on Facebook. NYDailyNews.com noted Mainor had to apologize about a year ago after he used his Facebook page to call the Philadelphia Eagles "gaybirds" and the Dallas Cowboys "cowgirls."
This time, Mainor told NJ.com, his strong anti-gun stance may have led some constituents to complain about his Facebook "likes."
A Democrat who represents Jersey City and Bayonne, Mainor chairs an Assembly committee that last week approved bills that would strengthen the state's oversight of gun ownership by the mentally ill but also exempt firearms records from New Jersey's public disclosure requirements, according to an Associated Press report posted on PressofAtlanticCity.com.
He told NJ.com:
They're trying to discredit me in some kind of way because I agreed with the gun deals that I pushed through . . . We're losing babies. And if the best they can do is come back and say, 'He shouldn't have Big Bootie Freaks,' then I said, 'Hey, you shouldn't have guns.'
Mainor is not the first politician to be called into question for his Facebook "likes."
Last spring, Nikolaus Hoenning, who hoped to become the 2014 Green Party candidate for mayor of Munich, Germany, "liked" a story on a friend's Facebook page about the slaughter two years earlier of bunnies at a daycare center, according to Spiegel Online International.
That drew the ire of Green Party colleagues and animal rights activists. The website said
Judith Brettmeister, a member of an animal shelter organization, told the Munich daily Abendzeitung:
"One mustn't condone such a deplorable act by clicking on the Like button."
Do you think politicians should be judged by their Facebook "likes"? Please tell us in the comments below.

This is how the track and field season goes - a league meet on Wednesday, then a large-scale gathering on Friday or Saturday. If you're up to it, that can be a lot of intense work in a short amount of time.
Then again, that's what makes track athletes - or any athletes - so special. While we sit around, type and second-guess on our computers, they're out running, or jumping, or throwing, hundreds of miles or repetitions in splendid isolation.
It's just something to point out as the season moves into May. And the activity was quite heavy as one month spilled into another.
Amid Wednesday's chill, some great team efforts got turned in. Chasing Skaneateles in the OHSL Liberty division, Jordan-Elbridge swept past Westhill and CBA, helped no doubt by the Brothers' Melissa Zajdel tying up a few wins - but Nicole and Katie Darling, and Lyndsay Hollis, all got their prizes too. Skaneateles and J-E meet each other this Wednesday afternoon.
Up in the Freedom division, East Syracuse-Minoa took out Jamesville-DeWitt and Fowler, keeping up with Chittenango, who held off Phoenix with double wins from Marshay Zamlowski, Michelle Brandt and Kaylee Greene. Tully stayed unbeaten in the Patriot Division, as usual. Fayetteville-Manlius maintained dominance and won a first-place CNYCL American battle with Corcoran, while Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse had matching wins.
One team, West Genesee, went straight from beating Nottingham on Thursday to competing in Friday's Coaches Association Invitational at Chittenango.
Naturally, the better Wildcats saved their stuff for Friday, which led to 73 points and a second-place finish behind F-M. This included Vanessa Mangovski (shot put) and Jessica Andrianos (discus) winning the throwing events, plus lots of runner-up spots.
F-M won by piling it on with its distance runners - including the top five finishers (Courtney Chapman, Mackenzie Carter, Molly Malone, Kathryn Buchan and Kathryn Fanning) in the mile, plus the top two distance medley relay finishers. Oh yes, there's also Jessica Marini, who went from winning four times in the weekly meet against Corcoran to dominating the 400 hurdles at Chittenango.
The host Bears held on to the long jump (thanks to Zamlowski), and J-E's Darling showed up to win the long jump and help the Eagles take the 4x100. J-D's Kathryn Blackley shook off the ESM defeat and won both the 100 and 200 sprints.
Other scattered weekend meets featured small gatherings at CBA, Oswego, Cato-Meridian and Canastota (the Madison County Championships), but also Saturday's much larger Rome Invitational at RFA Stadium.
The hosts had fun, as RFA's Jessica Razy won the 100 and 200 sprints and helped the Black Knights take the 4x100 relay, too. To join them, Hannah Hoffman won the 3,000, and Chanelle McWilliams claimed the pentathlon.
Baldwinsville and Liverpool claimed their share of events, too. Yet it was Remsen's Rachel Roberts that stepped in to take both the shot put (38 feet 2 ½ inches) and discus (109 feet 7 inches), while New York Mills' Linda Hadfield nearly reached 11 feet in the pole vault.
Far away, at a meet in Monroe-Woodbury, CNS set a Section III record in the 4x1,600 relay in a time of 21:45. That's a lot of running, done by athletes quite dedicated to the cause.

North Park Theological Seminary partners with Midwest Ministry Development (MMD) to provide a variety of assessments which help to evaluate students' psychological readiness for ministry. Together with the church, we recognize the need for wholeness and health while serving in vocational ministry, and hope this process will help all our students start or continue down this path in anticipation of where their Seminary education may lead. This assessments are completed as pre-work for the Vocational Excellence course. You will take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2, as well as completing other written autobiographical, medical, theological, and behavioral items. You will then have the opportunity to process the results of your assessments, both in a small peer group and individually with a counselor from MMD during Vocational Excellence.
The results of your assessments and your conversation with MMD counselors are kept confidential, except in a general report released to the Seminary dean of students. This may include a recommendation for ways in which you can proactively address any issues that arise during the assessment process. The dean will assist you in finding resources you need, including providing recommendations for counselors, training, or other resources.
The assessment process is done at the request of the Evangelical Covenant Church, for the purpose of better preparing men and women for future ministry.
As the Seminary strives to prepare women and men who are confident in their ministry skill across cultures and geographies, we also ask you to complete the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) when you enter North Park. This assessment is a 50-item, theory-based instrument that measures your intercultural competence. You'll be asked to refer to your own results throughout your Seminary program, looking for ways that you can develop your skill and understanding in this area.
The IDI works in conjunction with the cultural competency module of your Field Education component. You'll take it again when you register for this module, typically in your last year at North Park Theological Seminary. In this experience, you'll participate in a small group discussion to reflect on your intercultural development and experiences, as well as how you will incorporate further learning throughout your life in ministry.

A ballroom by the bay?
Rather than build a whole new convention center near Old Town, the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce and the Red Lion Hotel have scaled down their plans to include a large ballroom facility.
Sam Granato, the chambers executive director presented an update to the Central Kitsap Community Council at its regular meeting Wednesday, Dec. 17.
We never gave up on the concept, for a conference center Granato said. The chamber and Red Lion proposed the conference center idea about three years ago to the Public Facilities District. The PFD gave the money a one-time rebate of real estate excise fees to Bremertons conference center instead. Additional PFD funds went to upgrade the Kitsap County fairgrounds facilities.
The proposed Silverdale ballroom would be the largest in the county, seating 750-900 people in a dinner seating arrangement. The facility would be used for state and regional conventions, said Kevin Wojcik, hotel manager in an interview Thursday.
He wasnt specific when it came to other possible events the facility could be used for saying the plans were in their earliest phases.
He said there is a high demand for large meeting rooms and groups who want to come to Kitsap because of its proximity to King County and Olympia.
Currently, groups such as the chamber cant hold large meetings in Silverdale because there isnt room.
Joe Diamond, Red Lion franchise owner and part owner of the property for the ballroom site said he would give the hotel his portion of the land. Diamond owns about 45 percent of the lot which is valued at $750,000, Granato said.
The property is located between the hotel and Old Mill Site county park on Bucklin Hill Road. The Red Lion currently has the largest meeting room in Silverdale.
Granato also talked about a possible walkway/bridge over part of Dyes Inlet that would link the hotel to Old Town businesses.

Independent Auditors
Alcoa has an independent and open relationship with the company's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and continues to strictly limit the non-audit work the firm performs. The company is committed to the highest standards in financial accountability.Auditor Restrictions In 2014, audit fees totaled $13.7 million, audit-related fees totaled $0.6 million, tax services totaled $0.6 million, and all other fees were $0.1 million.
All Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and All Other Fees set forth above
were approved by the Audit Committee before services were
Audit Fees include the base audit fee, effects of foreign currency exchange rates on the base audit fee, scope adjustments to the
base audit requirements, and accounting and audit advisory services. The increase in audit fees from 2013 to 2014 is principally
due scope increases to accommodate the Firth Rixson acquisition.
Audit-Related Fees include due diligence services for acquisitions and divestitures, audits of employee benefit plans, agreed-upon
or expanded audit procedures for accounting or regulatory requirements, information system control procedures, and review or verification of reported sustainability information.
Tax Fees include U.S. federal, state and local tax support and international tax support. The increase in tax fees from 2013 to 2014 was principally due to additional tax support in connection with the Firth Rixson acquisition.
All Other Fees include services to review the Company's actuarial calculations for its captive insurance company.
Lead Audit Partner Rotation
Alcoa's governance standards require the rotation of the lead audit partner at least every five years. A new lead partner was appointed in 2014.

The Treasury Department owns 8 percent of the new Chrysler Group LLC and is taking a 60 percent stake in General Motors Corp. But when it comes buying actual cars and trucks, the federal government is favoring Ford Motor Co., the New York Times reports.
As part of the federal stimulus package, the General Services Administration was given $300 million to buy new vehicles and do its part to stimulate sagging auto sales.
But when the GSA announced this week that it spent $287 million of that money to buy 17,205 new cars, it turned out that Ford was the biggest recipient of the the government's spending. Ford is the only domestic auto company that hasn't taken loan money from the Treasury Department.
Here's how purchases broke down, according to the Times:
The General Services Administration, which manages a fleet of 213,000 vehicles for some 75 federal agencies, said it spent $129 million to buy 7,924 Fords; $105 million on 6,348 General Motors vehicles; and $53 million on 2,993 Chryslers.
The Times said the heavy Ford buy could show that the government doesn't plan on using its ownship clout to take actions that favor GM and Chrysler over Ford.

Sylvie has a lot to be thankful for! After her family's divorce, seven-year-old Sylvie and her brother Sammie were surrendered to the Washington Humane Society (WHS) this past April. In the seven months she was with WHS, Sylvie proved herself to be quite the little survivor.
Her brother was adopted without her, and the long months
that followed left her despondent, unable to
eat, and ready to give up on living. The medical team at WHS was very concerned as Sylvie shed pound after pound. She lost half her body weight, and they thought she might die of a broken heart. Although it appeared that Sylvie was all but gone, the staff still saw strength in her and was convinced that Sylvie could be rehabilitated and find a loving home.
Sylvie was given IV Fluids to keep her hydrated and eventually a feeding tube to provide her much needed nutrition. The staff took Sylvie home on weekends to ensure that she received proper medical attention. Still, she wasn't progressing fast enough, and it was clear that it would take more than nutrition to save her. Sylvie desperately needed a stable and loving home.
Sylvie was put in foster care and began to show improvement. She lounged on the window sill and began eating to her heart's content. Sylvie showed further signs of healing through her fondness for attention and playful dashing under the bed covers. She seemed to have a new lease on life.
Earlier this month, Sylvie finally found a forever home. WHS is so grateful that Sylvie survived and found a new family. This Thanksgiving Alumni Friday, we are giving thanks to her adopter Helen and to all WHS forever families!
Sylvie has that little something extra that's hard to define. She does all the normal cat things - cuddling, chasing the laser pointer, batting at toys - but it's the way that she interacts with people and other animals that sets her apart. She seems to know everything that's going on. Very quiet and easy going, Sylvie rarely meows, never hisses at other cats, and is very willing to be held and talked to.
"Sylvie is doing very well adjusting to our home. She is exceedingly mellow and likes to hang out in the bedrooms or next to a warm person who will give her some attention! We are grateful that the Washington Humane Society took good care of her."
- Sylvie's new mom, Helen

As 61st District Court Administrator for 28 years, I am in a unique position to evaluate anyone aspiring to be a judge in that court. Over those years, I observed that the following characteristics make the best judges:
1. An ability to treat people with respect;
2. The willingness to listen to people;
3. The desire to do the best you can;
4. An understanding that the job is important to the community;
5. A strong belief in the equality of all who stand before the bench; and,
6. Faith in your own judgment.
Kimberly Schaefer possesses all of these characteristics. I have worked with Ms. Schaefer all of her legal career. She will, in my personal and professional opinion, be an excellent addition to the 61st District Court bench and will serve the people of Grand Rapids well.

Co-owner of coffee shop pleads guilty to drug possession
LISBON – Peter Lynch, the co-owner of Friends Roastery in Salem, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to possession of drugs for nearly five pounds of marijuana found in his home last fall.
Lynch, 53, Summit Street, Salem, appeared in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court agreeing to plead guilty, but noting his concerns about the lifetime weapons disability, which accompanies a guilty plea to a third-degree felony drug offense.
Lynch told Judge Scott Washam he believes it is his right to bear arms as a U.S. citizen and added although he had not used his handgun in many years, he hoped he would be able to own a gun again someday, mostly because of the "nature of our world."
When the Columbiana County Drug Task Force raided the home of Lynch and his wife, Patricia Tinkler, on Oct. 1, 2013, about five pounds of marijuana was reportedly found along with a semi-automatic gun.
Tinkler's case for the same charge remains pending and she has reportedly asked for consideration for possible intervention in lieu of conviction.
Assistant County Prosecutor Tammie Riley Jones said she will recommend a nine-month term in prison for Lynch, a six-month license suspension and a $5,000 fine. He could face up to three years in prison, a $10,000 fine and a five year license suspension.
Jones also asked for a presentencing investigation and offered she would give no stance should Lynch's attorney Bruce Williams request probation for Lynch.

For the first time, the annual fund-raiser for Paul Newman's children's camp went on without him -- but not without a huge stable of Hollywood A-listers who turned out in tribute to the actor, who died last month.
Jack Nicholson, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Warren Beatty, Sean Penn and Danny Glover joined in a dramatic reading of "The World of Nick Adams" in San Francisco to benefit The Painted Turtle, a camp for seriously ill children that Newman started in 1999, the Associated Press reports.
Newman's business partner, A.E. Hotchner, adapted the script from the works of Ernest Hemingway. After the performance, Bonnie Raitt dedicated a song, "Put a Little Love Into Your Heart," to Newman, and she was accompanied on stage by the actors and children from the camp.
"Paul was a member of the ensemble more than anything else," says Hanks, recalling his work with Newman on "Road to Perdition." "He didn't care about the hierarchy, but he was a guy, quite frankly, who should have won the Nobel Peace Prize."

A 22-year-old man was pulled unresponsive from the chilly waters of the Little Egg Inlet today after he failed to return from a kayaking trip, authorities said.
Robert Gaudiosi did not respond to CPR and was flown to Atlantic City Medical Center, where his condition was unknown this evening, said Petty Officer Chris McLaughlin, a spokesman for the Coast Guard. A spokeswoman for the hospital said Gaudiosi's family requested his condition not be released.
Gaudiosi was found by Coast Guard searchers shortly after 4:30 p.m. near his overturned camouflage-colored kayak, McLaughlin said. The boater was not wearing a life jacket or a wetsuit, despite water temperatures of about 48 degrees, McLaughlin said.
Gaudiosi's mother reported him missing around 3 p.m., about four hours after he left home, telling relatives he was "going out for a short kayak trip," but not saying where, McLaughlin said. A Coast Guard helicopter and boat were dispatched in the search, which was made "a little more difficult" by the camouflage kayak, the spokesman said.
It was unclear how long the boater's body had been in the water or how far he had traveled before the kayak flipped, McLaughlin said. Rescuers pulled Gaudiosi from the water and performed CPR, but he was unresponsive and taken to the hospital, according to the Coast Guard.
"This could've been extremely preventable," McLaughlin said. "Hopefully he's going to be OK."

When Crop Rocks opens later this year in Cleveland's Waterloo neighborhood, it will represent a markedly unique food destination in the city.
Brainchild of restaurateur Steve Schimoler (Crop Bistro and Bar, and Crop Bistro & Brewery in Stowe, Vt.) and former Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Terry Stewart, the enterprise will represent a new form of culinary entertainment: food + music + performance art.
"As far as we can tell, we're pretty sure there's nothing else exactly like this in the world," says Schimoler. During a tour of the former Key Bank branch that will become Crop Rock, Schimoler explained plans for the two-story building with 2,400 square feet on each level, plus a basement.
On the ground level, diners will share communal tables with an expected total capacity of 75 to 80 seats. Plans include addition of garage doors opening onto an expansive patio. Indoors or out, guests will be able to indulge in casual takes on the chef's imaginative dishes and cocktails.
"Mostly small-plate portions, lots of sharing," Schimoler says. "Guests will be able to order entrees and full dinners, but we're thinking plenty of fun stuff they can snack on over drinks or before or after a show at Beachland" Ballroom and Tavern nearby.
As for music, that's where Stewart comes in. The bank's former vault will be transformed into his "Vinyl Vault," a home for a portion of the rockmeister's vast collection of old-school LPs, EPs, 45s and other recordings. He can't begin to give an exact number of recordings in his collection, he says, though they're "certainly in the hundreds of thousands."
"My wife has been after me to just get them out of the house," Stewart adds.
The concept will combine an archived collection of recordings, carefully curated by Stewart and others. A DJ will be on hand to spin discs and integrate requests from the guests. In time, iPads will be added, providing electronic access to the entire catalog as well as liner notes from the records, discographies and profiles of the artists, Schimoler and Stewart say.
"The vault will be filled with vinyl recordings," Stewart says, "but I also want vinyl that people can touch, to pick up and look over and take over the DJ to play. People being able to hold them. There needs to be interactivity, a tactile nature to the experience."
"Someone can pick up a Marvelettes record from 1963 and just gawk at it or walk over to the booth and say, 'Hey, could you play "Please Mr. Postman" or "Beachwood 4-5789," ' " adds Schimoler.
Performance art will take place on the restaurant's second floor.
Though it's typically thought of in terms of theater, dance, spoken word and other forms of expression, at Crop Rocks, food will provide the script.
There will be a cooking school on the second floor. In addition to culinary pros who traditionally stand in front of classes, Schimoler sees the space as an opportunity for guest chefs of any stripe to take turns at the lectern.
"You'll be able to book the space, then use your social media to put out word that you're going to be teaching how to make, I don't know, sushi or meatloaf or whatever's your specialty," he says. He, other chefs and instructors will also teach occasional classes.
"The whole concept is kind of revolutionary. I mean, I haven't really seen a combination like this anywhere else," Schimoler says. Very few places, primarily in Asia, offer extensive vinyl bars, Stewart adds.
Schimoler has an impressive and longstanding reputation for innovation. Not only does the chef-owner of Crop Bistro and Bar draw praise for creative and consistently well-prepared fare known for unorthodox flourishes. Food industry leaders recognize Schimoler as a product developer, working with major companies such as Nestle North America, NutraSweet, Cabot Creamery and SYSCO.
An expansive, state-of-the-art research kitchen and product showroom are part of the Crop Bistro home at the intersection of West 25th Street and Lorain Avenue in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood.
"Music and food are just part of Cleveland's DNA," Schimoler said later. A longtime drummer in rock bands, he cites the two as dueling passions.
"Everyone knows 'Cleveland Rocks,' and our reputation as a food capital is spreading far and wide. A place like this, in an area like this -- pretty much right next door to the Beachland, one of the real torchbearers in live music entertainment in America -- is a natural," Schimoler says.
He and Stewart's alliance bonded while formulating Cleveland Food Rocks, a weeklong promotion of Cleveland-area restaurants first linked with the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies held in the city in 2009. The first Chefs Rock event was held at the Beachland Ballroom in 2010, later moving downtown to the Rock Hall.
For Stewart's part, the recently retired Rock Hall head saw more than just a repository for his vast musical library.
"I love both what [Waterloo developer] Alan [Glazen] represents about Cleveland and entrepreneurship, and the wacky visionary things he comes up with, and I love Steve as a restaurateur -- and I love music," Stewart says. "So it's a chance to have some impact on the city's future landscape, and to have some fun."

Jefferson County officials today introduced the two finalists for the county's first professional manager as "two outstanding men with outstanding credentials."
Harry Jones, the county manager of Mecklenburg County, N.C., which contains Charlotte, and Patrick Thompson, the former county administrator for Hamilton County, Ohio, which contains Cincinnati, were introduced to department heads and county workers during a meeting outside the courthouse.
"Consistently, these two gentlemen were viewed as leaders, as visionary, as consensus builders, as good listeners" by a national search firm, County Commission President David Carrington said.
Jones, 61, has worked in Mecklenburg County government for two decades and has served as manager since 2000. He oversees a $1.35 billion budget and about 4,200 employees.
He has held county and city management positions in Dallas and holds a master of public administration degree from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Thompson, 52, was Hamilton County's administrator until January, when a majority of the Hamilton County Commission chose not to renew his contract. Thompson oversaw a $209 million budget and about 4,656 employees.
Both men said they are aware of the county's fiscal woes and the resolve needed to address the problems.
"I do think you do have some significant challenges here in the area of fiscal discipline around the issues of the future of this community," Jones said. "I believe firmly without a vision you perish. I want to know what your vision is going forward."
Thompson said during his flight to Birmingham he saw a lot of structural engineers, Red Cross volunteers and FEMA workers en route to help with disaster relief.
"That's how I look at this position of county manager, come in and dedicate my services, my professional expertise, which I have acquired over the course of my career, to help to assist the citizens and the commission of Jefferson County," Thompson said.
The candidates will be interviewed individually Friday morning by the five-member Jefferson County Commission. A decision to hire one of them could come as soon as next week, Carrington said.
Four members of the commission must agree on a candidate for the person to get the job.
The state Legislature passed a law in 2009 that mandated the commission hire a county manager by April 1, 2011. Lawmakers in March extended the deadline to June 1 to give the commission more time to find the best candidates.

The Portland Winterhawks (.750, 2nd in West) face the Vancouver Giants (.542, 7th in West) Saturday night (7:00 pm) at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Live audio from winterhawks.com | Live box score
Radio on KPAM 860 AM starting at 6:40 pm.
4 goals
Mon, Feb 10, 2014 Portland 8 at Prince George 4
Wed, Feb 12, 2014 Portland 6 at Prince George 4
Fri, Feb 14, 2014 Portland 7 at Kamloops 4
The defensive numbers have gotten a little ugly lately. But it's mostly of the Winterhawks jumping into a lead and then losing their concentration. Monday Portland was up 5-1, Wednesday they were up 4-2 and 5-3, and last night they were up 4-0 and 5-2. You could kind of extend it back to the Tri-City game before that, where they were up 7-0 and then game up three.
That's a fairly normal pattern, I would think. I wouldn't worry, or think that the last three games has been some kind of sign, until they start struggling when the game was close.
Fri, Feb 7, 2014 Calgary 5 at Vancouver 0
Sat, Feb 8, 2014 Edmonton 5 at Vancouver 1
Mon, Feb 10, 2014 Victoria 3 at Vancouver 2
Fri, Feb 14, 2014 Vancouver 1 at Everett 2 [overtime]
They've lost four straight, but they're not quite in the same situation as Kamloops; they're a good team, going through a little slump with a less-than-favorable schedule situation. At home, and poised to play a little better, they're dangerous.
It's not nearly set in stone yet, but they're the mostly likely team to end up in seventh. Their schedule the rest of the way is a killer--Portland twice, Seattle, Victoria, Edmonton, and Kelowna four times. As Portland is the most likely to end up second, this is the current favorite for your first round matchup.
They play defensively, haven't been scoring lately, so it's a good chance for Portland to get some defensive mojo back.
Other games
Kootenay (4th) at Brandon (tied 6th) 05:30 PM
Seattle (4th) at Everett (5th) 07:05 PM
Prince George (10th) at Kamloops (9th) 07:00 PM
Calgary (2nd) at Lethbridge (12th) 06:00 PM
Moose Jaw (10th) at Medicine Hat (3rd) 06:30 PM
Victoria (3rd) at Prince Albert (9th) 05:00 PM
Saskatoon (11th) at Red Deer (8th) 06:00 PM
Swift Current (tied 6th) at Regina (5th) 05:00 PM
Tri-City (8th) at Spokane (5th) 07:05 PM
A win clinches 6th place for Portland, as they'd have both Vancouver and Tri-City licked. If that doesn't happen, an Ams' loss would clinch 7th.
In the comments, give your pick for
1. the winner
2. "over" or "under" 6.5 total goals scored by both teams
3. the game winning goal scorer (based on hockey's GWG rules)
See you at 6.

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan — If Mlive readers are the only one's who show up at the polls next week, the Genesee District Library could have a hard time passing the 0.25-mill property tax increase they are asking for.
The new tax would raise $2.2 million, paid by all Genesee County residents except those living in the city of Flint. It would cost $12.50 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home with a taxable value of $50,000.
EbenezerScrooge: The government in all its forms keeps coming to the voters with their hands out wanting more money. Their accomplises in the media run stories such as this saying how inexpensive the request is and how worthy their purpose is. We taxpayers have been hoodwinked and nickeled and dimed enough. Let me make it simple for you: NO! NO! NO!
Group W Bench: Another $12.50 a year for something that I'd never use. Sounds just like the MTA millage. Many pay so a few can continue using the service.
jimpse: MTA cried they were broke, but built a multi million dollar service center in Flushing. Sheriff gets his 100,000 from the senior millage. The nerd is going to tax my pension. Don't have anything against the libraries but when these politicians are screwing everybody I can't vote for any milliage
But not all out in cyberspace were against the millage.
NoMore: I vote yes. Try going into any of the branches listed above on any given day and see the children and adults that use this service. We don't have enough positive and useful things as it is in our community to let what we do have go.
Alan Rose: There are sources of information available online that you don't know about, as well as sources of information available at the library but not online. Ask your librarian for examples.
Signing on the the internet does not make you an information specialist any more than walking into a hospital makes you a doctor.


text: Babies having babies - yeah, I know what you mean. My middle girl did that. She's a great mum, but would be having a much better time of it if she'd gone into it a bit more thoughtfully and chosen a better father! It's hard, eh. At dinner last night our 2 younger kids BOTH let slip that they'd talked marriage with their partners. One is 19, the other 21. Double ouch. We're trying to be delicate in case it's for real, and realistic in case we can influence their decisions.

Picture yourself entering a popular e-commerce Web site or opening a mobile shopping app and being greeted immediately by a virtual shopping assistant that's every bit as helpful as the best clerk you ever met in a brick-and-mortar store. Actually, better. This assistant knows everything there is to know about the store's merchandise and the situations in which it's used. But it's also the ultimate personal shopper. It knows who you are and what you like, and it learns more from interacting with you and presents you choices in a visually engaging way.
That's just the kind of experience that Fluid Inc., a San Francisco-based digital commerce company, plans on offering through its many e-commerce clients, starting with TheNorthFace.com.The technology underlying the service is IBM Watson, which created a splash two years ago when it defeated two grand-champions on the TV quiz show Jeopardy! Embedded within e-commerce Web sites, Watson has the potential to transform the online shopping experience."Watson is a turning point in technology," says Brooke Aguilar, vice-president for Fluid's Watson application strategy. "It shows how consumers will engage with computers in the future."
Watson started off as an IBM-only technology, but, as of today, the company has opened it up and is permitting companies large and small to embed Watson in their own services or build applications on top of it. The initiative, essentially an IBM Watson ecosystem, aims to create a large web network of companies that share the benefits of a common technology platform and the explosive network effects that can come via this kind of alliance.
We've seen technology ecosystems work magic before. During the PC Era, a vast network of application developers grew up around Microsoft's Windows.Today, Google and Apple have huge smartphone app ecosystems. The IBM Watson ecosystem has the potential do something similar in the new era of computing—the era of cognitive systems. The ecosystem is designed to bring cognitive capabilities to a wide variety of industries and to eventually touch billions of people worldwide.If you want to learn more about the new era, download a free chapter of Smart Machines: IBM's Watson and the Era of Cognitive Computing, at the Columbia University Press web site.A key component of the IBM's Watson ecosystem is the Watson Developers Cloud. In this technology sandbox, organizations like Fluid can collaborate with IBM technologists to create new apps and services. There's also a Watson Content Store, where companies connect with content providers whose data and information can augment Watson's ever-expanding knowledge base. The ecosystem also taps into the ELance online community of more than 2.5 million freelancers with skills ranging from software development and Web site design development to writing and graphic design.
Here's how some cloud service providers are harnessing Watson:
Fluid: You'll be able to engage with their expert personal shopper by typing or speaking questions or comments into your laptop, tablet or smartphone. The assistant will not only engage you in a dialogue, but will also show you reviews, videos, and photographs and otherwise enrich your online shopping experience.
Say you're on the TheNorthFace.com site. You're planning a two-week camping trip to Wyoming's Wind River mountain range in May. You could ask, "What gear and food will I need?" and learn what you'll want to know so you can have a more safe and comfortable experience—such as the fact that it often snows in the Wind Rivers in springtime.
MD Buyline: This 30-year-old, Dallas-based company provides expert advice to 3,300 hospitals and healthcare systems concerning the selection and purchase of medical equipment, technology and consumable items.
The company is building an evaluation platform with IBM Watson at its core. The platform brings together the company's vast database of client purchase activity, deep knowledge of clinical results, and feedback from top clinicians. Watson is the front end. It will provide analysis and recommendations about purchase decisions and will also gather input from doctors. "We are excited about the potential for using Watson's capabilities to take best practices developed by individual healthcare organizations and making them available at scale across the global healthcare industry," says Satin Mirchandani, MD Buyline's chief executive.
Welltok: Based in Denver, Welltok operates CaféWell, a health optimization platform that enables people to improve their health via a combination of social networking, gaming and personalization technologies. Through Welltok's customers, which are large healthcare organizations, the service has the potential to touch the lives of more than 20 million people.
Welltok's CaféWell Concierge leverages IBM Watson to guide individuals through the process of learning about their health and modifying their lifestyles. It interacts with people through text or speech, guides them to personalized activities, content and communities, volunteers suggestions, and learns about them through interactions. Individuals earn rewards, including insurance premium discounts or copay reductions, for improving their health.
The company's chief executive, Jeff Margolis, has spent nearly 20 years in the healthcare technology business, but his interest in improving the healthcare system is also personal. As a teenager, he was diagnosed with a serious illness, which led to a series of surgeries and still requires careful monitoring. "I'm on a mission," he says. "We're in the position to shift from sick care to proactively optimizing our health. Watson's an accelerator. It's groundbreaking."
When Watson won on Jeopardy!, it created a sensation. But many people probably saw it as little more than a high-tech parlor trick. Not anymore. The ecosystem that IBM Watson is fueling shows that cognitive technology has great potential to have major impact in the world.
It's early days, of course, but if the ecosystem takes off it will help usher in a new era of computing—transforming industries and improving people's lives.
Watson is already being put to work in healthcare, financial services and retail.
Which begs the question: how would you put Watson to work? If you come up with a great idea, there may be a startup and a great app in your future.

An appellate panel cited what it said were misleading instructions to a jury in reversing Donald Hertel's May, 2010 conviction, according to the report. It also said Hertel's lawyer should not have been denied the right to call a particular witness.
The Star-Ledger has previously reported a mistrial was declared on a related charge of sexual assault, after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
During a 2006 outing at the Y, Hertel, now 46, sprayed hot and cold
water on the boy's bathing suit and onto his genitals to see how long
he could withstand it.
He was sentenced in 2011 to three years in prison under the now-overturned conviction, and would have been required to serve at leat 9 months before being eligible for parole, the Star-Ledger has reported. He was also required to register and comply with Megan's Law, and to face parole supervision for the rest of his life, as part of the his sentence.
He had been free on bail while his lawyer pursued the appeal. Under conditions of that bail, Hertel was allowed no unsupervised contact with anyone 16 or under, had a curfew from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., had to wear an ankle bracelet, and probation officers could do random checks at his house.
"I am not a pedophile," Hertel told the court the day of his sentencing. "I didn't invent the game. It was invented by a different group at the Y."

Hi Hans, I had the very same thing happen here with my old Hygain TH3-Mark III three element tri-bander, i.e. suddenly the SWR was A-OK (i.e. unchanged) on 10, but sky high on 15 and 20 meters... Well, maybe I shouldn't say sky high: the 1:1 SWR points on those latter two bands had shifted UPWARD by some 120 KHz, or so, and the antenna had a very narrow bandwidth on them (all three bands were originally optimized for the CW ends of the bands). Curiously enough, just as quickly as the malaise infected the antenna, in a few short days it completely disappeared! I suspected that maybe I had rain intrusion in one of the driven element traps, so I monitored the SWR both on wet rainy days, & sunny dry ones---no change. Maybe I had a nest of hornets, or spiders, that were attempting to take refuge inside one of the traps, & the RF "zapped" them...? I don't know. I'm just glad the thing is working well...well, for NOW, anyway!

text: Not an aging rock star, "rod creep" is a fault in a fly-fishing cast where the rod rotates forward at the end of the back cast instead of stopping. Now, thanks to MEMs technology and Noel Perkins, mechanical engineering professor at the University of Michigan, anglers may have an easier time diagnosing such faults. Perkins wanted to master fly fishing and had previous experience simulating sensor-equipped submarine detection cables for the Navy. Modeling the fly line was similar, but Perkins needed devices to help understand how much his cast deviated from ideal. Using MEMs motion sensors, he built a device to measure fly-rod motion and wired it to his Palm Pilot attached to the rod. His "casting signature" can be compared to an expert's. He is looking for partners to develop the technology. www.engin.umich.edu

Mayor Scott Dudley said Monday that he's decided to name Ed Green, the administrative sergeant with the Port Townsend Police Department, as the new police chief.
Green was one of three men who interviewed for the job and went through a panel interview. Dudley said he will ask the members of the City Council next Tuesday to approve his decision.
It's a process he's expecting to go much smoother than the last time he asked the council to confirm an appointment, but he knows nothing is certain in city politics these days.
Dudley said Green is "a cop's cop."
"He's the ideal candidate who will roll up his sleeves and work alongside his officers," Dudley said. "He's not just an administrator who will sit behind his desk all day."
Dudley said Green seemed very open and accessible, as well as having a great work ethic.
Reached by phone Monday, Green said he's excited about the opportunity to lead the department and make Oak Harbor his home.
"I want to spend the end of my career there," he said.
Green said he worked for seven years in Los Angeles, and dealt with the riots and murders, before moving to the relative peace of Port Townsend. He's been with the department for about 20 years and is currently the administrative sergeant, which means he's the second-in-command. He said he handles all the administrative work, including the budget, but as police chief he plans to also help out with police work, whether that means handling evidence or even going on patrol.
"They're going to have to hold me back," he joked.
Green said he's talked to many people in Oak Harbor and everyone had good things to say about the police department. He said he has no plans for changes, but will first have to learn about the department and the community.
"I'm not looking to come in and put my stamp on it," he said.
Green said he and his wife, Christy, plan on moving to Oak Harbor as soon as they can sell their home in Port Townsend. They have two adult daughters.
The Oak Harbor Police Department has been without a permanent police chief since Dudley fired the former chief, Rick Wallace, in June. It was a bold move that came just days before the City Council was set to adopt a policy that would have protected Wallace from being fired by making him a for-cause employee.
The majority of City Council members have been very critical of Dudley for firing a series of administrators since taking office in January; that included the city administrator, the fire chief and two city attorneys.
Under state law, the mayor is charged with firing and hiring employees, but he must get the council's confirmation for most administrative positions. It's usually a somewhat perfunctory process, but not always. Dudley appointed Ray Merrill as fire chief earlier this year, but several council members nearly managed to derail the confirmation process over allegations that he may have been given the job as a political promise.
This time, Dudley pointed out that several council members were on the panel that interviewed the candidates. Green was one of the two candidates recommended by the panel, he said.

|Wounded Apostles
|Wednesday, 17 January 2007 06:38
Written by Keith Strohm
In carrying out Christ's mission of love and salvation to the world, it is inevitable that we ourselves will encounter personal darkness and suffering along the Way. That suffering could stem from an intolerable work situation, a family tragedy, an argument with a friend, or the accumulated detritus of living as a fallen person in a fallen world. The point is, that we who are called to be light for the world will also, at times, walk in our own darkness. We will be called to minister to someone at precisely the moment when we experience the greatest need for ministry in our own hearts. Serving others will be for us, in that moment, the one thing that we would like to do the least.

The Silverado Pickups Are a Rockabilly Band Made Up of Napa Valley Winemakers
David Duncan (center, vocals), Jeff Gargiulo (far left), Chuck Leavell (keyboards, far right) (Credit: Silver Oak Cellars)
The first-ever BottleRock music festival kicks off in Napa Valley this weekend, and organizers landed some serious headliners for the inaugural pour.
Kings of Leon,
The Black Keys, and
Zac Brown Band are all set to perform, not to mention
The Shins,
Jane's Addiction, and
Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros. Some 35,000 spectators are expected to attend, and while an upstart rock-and-comedy festival in wine country is unlikely enough, the biggest left-turn may be the weekend's opening act: The Silverado Pickups, a band made up of vintners from Silver Oak Cellars, Gargiulo Vineyards, Valley of the Moon, and Krupp Brothers. "We have a saying in the band," says Silver Oak CEO (and part-time vocalist) David Duncan, "The more you drink, the better we sound."
The Silverado Pickups (named after Napa's Silverado trails, not the Chevy truck) have been kicking around for a handful of years, but started practicing with regularity three years ago–mostly around gigs, usually in the guest house on Jeff Gargiulo's property. Not surprisingly, the wine flows freely during rehearsals. "Everyone brings whatever's open in their tasting rooms," says Gargiulo, who fittingly named one of his vineyard's signature wines–Cabernet Sauvignon OVX GMaj7–after a guitar chord.
Though the Silverado Pickups (or the Pickups as they're often called) are a side project, they've already had some enviable brushes with fame. The band once warmed up for Leon Russell at the Lincoln Theater in Napa, and have jammed with Chuck Leavell–who plays keys on tour with the Rolling Stones. In late April, the Pickups even flew to Nashville for a gig, where the locals dubbed their rockabilly sound "cork country."
In perhaps the band's shiniest moment, they warmed up for Tim McGraw at a November 2011 fundraiser for the Tug McGraw Foundation in Napa. While the appearance didn't translate to fame, it makes for a great cocktail party story. Says Duncan: Before the show, Faith Hill's road manager introduced herself to him with the seven words every man dreams of hearing, "Faith Hill would like to meet you." Duncan laughed, and happily chatted with the Grammy winning artist. Did he, by any chance, remember to ask Ms. Hill what her favorite Silver Oak vintage was? "Have you met her?" Duncan says with a smile. "You wouldn't have thought to ask her that question either."
The BottleRock Festival is poised to be the band's highest-profile gig to date. Duncan first caught wind of the event late last year, when co-founder Bob Vogt (who runs the Lincoln Theater) asked Silver Oak to be a sponsor. Months later, when Duncan made a joke about the Silverado Pickups playing a set, Vogt offered them a slot. The Pickups will open the festival on Thursday with an hourlong set, playing a mix of covers ("I'm a Believer" by the Monkees, "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan), country crowd-pleasers ("Wagon Wheel," made famous again by Old Crow Medicine Show), and even a few original tunes, including "Wine Country Cowboy," which the band recorded and is set to release on iTunes shortly. It will also be featured in an IMAX film called Napa Dreams. ("I have no expectations that I'm going to turn around and be a rock star," says Gargiulo.)
Of the comparison between making good music and making good wine, Silver Oak's Duncan says: "When you get the wine just right, it's like hitting a chord on the guitar. You have to have to all the notes in place." Still, Duncan isn't sure how many people will turn out to hear their set at BottleRock, and he acknowledges the 12:15 p.m. slot on Thursday afternoon isn't quite prime time, but perhaps not as bad as it seems. A few hours later, the Violent Femmes will play that very same stage. "Then I can quit telling the Tim McGraw story," Duncan says.
Rock bands are famous breeding grounds for resentment. Which raises the question: Do the band members here get competitive over their wines? Not at all, says Gargiulo: "We're in different spaces and different price points." Besides, adds Duncan, "Being a vintner is like an art form. Hemingway used to hang out with Faulkner." Rock on.

A lower-third is a graphic that appears on the lower-third of the video screen and draws viewers attention to the information placed there.
You've seen this used on TV's evening news, commercials etc, if I read your request correctly.
Here's a couple of things to keep in mind about lower-third graphics:
1) They don't have to always be in the lower-third of the video screen. Try placing them in the UPPER third portion of the screen, or on the left and right side of the screen. One thing you're going to learn as a member of this website is to start thinking creatively. Start looking at things and asking yourself "what would this look like upside down, to the left, to the right, backwards etc etc etc. Out of this internal dialog and focus on examine a different perspective comes the greatest "why didn't I think of that idea"
2) You can easily make your own lower-thirds using any program that will allow you to layer video tracks (like Sony Vegas). When I say "layer" video tracks I mean a program that will let you put one track of video on top of another. The other feature that's important to have is the ability to make a video or graphic transparent as well. If you're "on the ball" and you've taken the time to "really" look at lower-thirds being used on TV you'll see exactly where I'm going with this. Just place the video or graphic above the video you want the lower-third to fade into and then adjust the opacity and timing of the video and you're halfway there. The next thing you'll want to do is add the text to your lower third.
You'll put that on yet another separate video track on top of the graphic or video you're using as the lower-third element, which is on top of the base video you're using. Read that explanation a couple of times and I think it'll make sense to you if you didn't catch it the first go round. In essence, a lower third is a composite of 2-3 or more video and graphics elements combined at a specific time and place to produce an attention grabbing segment. Sounds tough but it's not.
3) Okay, so you got the theory but you really don't have time to make lower-third elements to add to your video. Go to Google and type in "lower third elements" and you should be able to find several resources that discuss the process in depth and sell a variety of pre-made elements you can instantly add to your video. (And no one but you will know you didn't spend hours creating it yourself).
4) Finally, inexpensive software programs like Adobe Premiere Elements come bundled with this capability and save you lots of time in creating lower thirds.

The Jugglers advance to play Westhill, 7 p.m. on Friday in the Carrier Dome.
Eighth grader Claire Sehring added eight of her 15 points in the second quarter as the Jugglers held a 53-23 lead at the half.
"I told the team at halftime that we had to come out and play like it was zero-zero," said Notre Dame coach Mike Plonisch. "I think we were able to do that and work on a few things, especially pushing the ball up the court."
Anari Harris and Katherine Bushmann also scored in double figures with 11 and 10 points apiece.
Lily Berg led Sherburne-Earlville with17 points.

The math is complicated, but the result is clear.
In past years, the levy generated up to $13 million for city-sponsored programs.
But in 2012-13, the fiscal year that starts July 1, Portland expects only about $9.8 million in revenue from the levy, which voters first approved in 2002 and renewed in 2008.
The levy's grants typically run for several years. So, the new forecast means the levy's backers must make cuts mid-stream.
Monday, the five-person allocation committee met at Portland City Hall to start cutting $3.7 million from 2012-13 grants. Reductions ranged from 3 percent to 40 percent. And some grants were discontinued entirely, said Mary Gay Broderick, outreach director.
Next week, they'll meet again to finish the process.
Here are the lists of nonprofits already affected by the cuts:
The impact hits after-school programs, children's centers and mentoring programs.

the Ravens a 38-35 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC playoffs.
The Ravens (12-6) forced overtime following a 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones with 31 seconds left in regulation. Jones slipped behind two Broncos defenders along the sideline.
Late in the first overtime, Peyton Manning threw across his body on second down and Corey Graham intercepted to give the Ravens the ball on the Denver 45-yard line. Two plays later, the first overtime ended and the teams switched directions. After three Ray Rice runs up the middle, Tucker sailed his game-winner through the uprights with room to spare.
Baltimore advances to next Sunday's AFC championshp game as linebacker Ray Lewis' career extends at least one more game.
The previous NFL game that went to a second overtime was on Jan. 10, 2004, when Carolina beat the Rams 29-23 in St. Louis on the first play of the second quarter.
Leading 35-28 with 1:15 left in regulation, the Broncos punted to Jones, a Pro Bowl returner who was overshadowed all day by Trindon Holliday. Jones made a fair catch at the 23 with 1:09 to go.
On third-and-3 from his 30, Flacco wound up and found Jones down the right sideline for the stunning score. Tony Carter let Jones go and Rahim Moore tried to go up and bat down the ball, but he mistimed his jump.
The Broncos got the ball at their 20 with 30 seconds left, but Manning took a knee to send the game to overtime. Denver also went into overtime in the playoffs last year, when Tim Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard touchdown on the first play to beat Pittsburgh.
Manning atoned for a fumble that led to a score by Baltimore by driving Denver 88 yards in 10 plays and hitting Thomas from 17 yards out for the go-ahead score that broke a 28-28 tie midway through the fourth quarter.
Holliday became the first player in NFL history to return a punt and a kickoff for scores in the same game.
The Broncos (13-4) became the latest No. 1 seed to lose in the divisional round. Since 2005, nine top-seeded teams have lost their first game in the playoffs.
In the regular season, Denver breezed past the Ravens 34-17 in Baltimore on Dec. 16 after racing to a 31-3 lead, but this one was close all the way before the Broncos saw their winning streak end at 11 games.
Holliday, the NFL's shortest -- and quite possibly fastest -- player, followed an amazing block by Jacob Hester to return the second-half kickoff 104 yards to put Denver ahead 28-21. That was two yards longer than the record set in 2010 by Atlanta's Eric Weems.
In the first half, Holliday got the scoring started when he fielded Sam Koch's punt, broke one tackle and raced down the Ravens' sideline for a 90-yard return, avoiding the punter as he zipped into the end zone. The previous longest touchdown on a punt return in a playoff game was Jermaine Lewis' 88-yarder for Baltimore in 2001.
Manning, 0-4 in playoff games below 40 degrees, wore gloves on each hand in the cold. He was sacked and coughed up the ball at his 37 late in the third quarter, with Paul Kruger recovering for Baltimore.
Rice carried five times for 37 yards, taking it in from a yard out with 20 seconds left in the quarter to make it 28-28.
The 13-degree temperature at kickoff made it the coldest playoff game played in Denver. The wind chill was 2. The only colder game played in Denver was against San Diego on Dec. 10, 1972, when the temperature was 9 degrees.
Holliday also returned a punt and a kickoff for scores in the regular season, and his big day came just an hour after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated his intention to consider the idea of abolishing kickoffs for the sake of safety.
