Each team will be permitted an extra card specifically for a goaltender
It's status quo in terms of import cards for provincial senior hockey this season, with one exception.
During the Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador (HNL) semi-annual meetings in Gander this past weekend, it was decided that each of the six Newfoundland Senior Hockey League (NLSHL) teams will be permitted an extra import card to be used specifically for a goaltender.
According to HNL senior council chairman Gary Gale, "There was quite a bit of debate" concerning the import rule as teams were looking to add an additional import skater. Meanwhile, the senior council was actually looking to cut the number of imported players.
The NLSHL had come to the senior council with an eight-point proposal after the June AGM.
"They wanted an increase of one more import per team," Gale noted.
"The league said with six teams this season, player recruitment could be more of a problem and they could use more imports.
"Last year, our plan was to cut one import across the board and we did. This year, the plan was to cut another one across the board, but we held off on that."
Therefore, nothing changes when it comes to imported forward and defencemen.
"But the league made a very strong case for adding an import goalie card," said Gale. "The senior teams said it was important in preserving parity. I understand that because it is difficult to get quality goaltenders in the province."
The Western Royals will continue to be permitted four import skaters. The Gander Flyers and Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts are permitted three each, while the Clarenville Caribous, Conception Bay North Eastlink Stars and Mount Pearl Blades, who rejoined the league after a one-year hiatus, are permitted two each.
Gale said a basic import formula was put in place some time ago to take into account the various regions of the province.
"As you get closer the major centres where there's a bigger population, you cut the number of imports because of the player availability."
He pointed out the population on the west coast has gone down considerably over the years.
Player cost also factored into the equation said Gale, who noted, that for Western, for example, it is cheaper to bring in imports from Nova Scotia and Ontario than from St. John's.
"Our role," said Gale," is to do the best we can to have a balance. The guiding principle for senior council is that we'd like the league to use as many local players as we can."
NSHL president Neil Norcott could not be reached for comment.
The NLSHL's Eastern and Western division teams will play an interlocking schedule followed by a round-robin playoff in each division, with the top teams meeting for the Herder Memorial Trophy championship.
Other issues and decisions covered at Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador's semiannual meeting:
• The Midget AAA Female Atlantic Championship will be hosted by the Deer Lake Minor Hockey Association from April 3-6, 2014.
• Plans were made for the Long Game to coincide with World Girls Hockey Day on October 12, 2013; in which three games will be played in the province in the early morning with live interactive across the country as games continue throughout the day.
• The Central West Junior Hockey League has been classified as a Junior C category for the upcoming season.
• The Minor Hockey delegates approved the formation of a provincial AAA peewee and bantam League to begin play in the 2014-2015 season.
• The Stephenville Minor Hockey Association will host the kick off for the 2014 Grant Thornton Minor Hockey Week Celebration on Jan. 11, 2014. The theme for Minor Hockey Week this year is Focus on the Journey, not the Destination.
• Gros Morne Minor Hockey Association was awarded the 2014 Bantam Irving Oil AAA Championship from February 21-23, 2014.
• Goulds Minor Hockey Association will be hosting the 2014 AAA peewee hockey championship from February 14-16, 2014.
• In female hockey it was decided that there will be a restriction on the number of under age players on a team to close the age variance on some in female hockey teams.
• The branch coach facilitators were trained in the new introduction to body checking skills program in attempt to train more coaches in this important tactic to enhance the safety of the players before they enter body checking in the bantam division.

A pacing exercise that teaches runners to adjust their effort and speed to match their goal pace
Tags: high school, pacing
- Determine each runner's goal race time based on their performance history and your assessment of their potential.
- For each runner on your team, calculate even-paced splits for the distances they'll cover in the workout.
- Once runners know their target splits, have them run repetitions with the goal of hitting the same target each time.
- Stop them halfway through each repetition and tell them their times.
- Have runners quickly calculate the time they need to run during the second half of the repetition in order to finish on target.
- Have them finish the repetition.
- Give runners their time for the second half of the repetition and have them add the two times together to figure out how close they came to hitting their target split.
Performance Points:
- Goal times should be faster than current personal bests.
- Runners new to the activity may need a few extra seconds to do the calculation.
- The goal for the second half of the repetition is to make sure the two halves together add up to the target. So if a runner is a little fast on the first half they have to run extra slow on the second to even it out.
- Have the runners pay attention to the times for each repetition and how fast / slow each one feels.
- As the season progresses, keep each runner's goal pace the same, but increase the distances and number of repetitions done in Splits-a-Palooza workouts.
Training Specifics:
Duration / Reps:
Sample progression of Splits-a-Palooza for 3k-5k runners:
Early Season: 8 repetitions of 200 meters (stop at 100 meters to calculate pace) with a 200 meter recovery jog between repetitions
Mid Season: 5-6 repetitions of 400 meters (stop at 200 meters to calculate pace) with a 400 meter recovery walk between repetitions
- Late Season: 8 repetitions of 400 meters (stop at 200 meters to calculate pace) with a 400 meter recovery jog between repetitions
When: As the main workout of the day
You Need:
- A track or marked looped course
- A pacing chart with split times for your runners
- Teaches runners to adjust their effort and speed
- Helps runners learn what their goal pace and slight variations of that pace feel like
- Improves speed and helps runners achieve controlled, consistent running
- Decreases runners' likelihood of running too conservatively or aggressively

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Grand Rapids school leaders want parents to know applications are now available for the LOOP and LOFT after-school programs for the new school year.
But the district this week had to inform parents with students in the LOOP before and after school programs at Congress Elementary, Palmer Elementary, Shawnee Park, Sherwood Park Global Studies Academy, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Academy they could not be maintained due to cuts in federal funding.
"We are working hard to develop a new, multi-day after school tutoring program, but it will be dramatically different than the LOOP before/after school program and may not be able to serve as many students due to limited funding," said Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal in a letter.
The LOOP/LOFT summer and after school-programs provide academic support and enrichment activities in a safe, structured and supervised environment for GRPS students in first through 12th grades. The district has been operating 35 programs at various neighborhood school sites.
Neal said the district would send parents additional information about the possible after-school opportunity as soon as they have something to report. However, she
strongly encouraged parents to begin thinking about a "plan B" in the event GRPS is unable to provide any form of before- and after-school programming this year in those areas.
In June, Grand Rapids was notified by the state Department of Education it had lost 21st Century Community Learning Center grants for nine of its sites, funded at approximately $130,000 a piece. In July, the state awarded the district $307,035, allowing it to fund four of the sites: Gerald R. Ford, Burton, Riverside and Westwood Middle Schools.
Related: Grand Rapids receives $307,035 to restore four after-school programs
The after-school program start date for year-round school programs is Sept. 5, and Oct. 1 for traditional calendar school kids returning to class Tuesday.
Space is limited, and students are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
To enroll a child, parents may pick up a registration packet from the main office at the school, fill it out, and return the completed forms to the school's site coordinator. Transportation may be available for students attending three or more days per week.
The program is held Monday through Friday. Students get homework help and tutoring and can participate academic activities, health and fitness activities, character education, arts and cultural activities.
LOOP/LOFT is now available at the following schools: Aberdeen, Alger, Brookside, Buchanan, Burton, CA Frost, Campau Park, Campus, Cesar Chavez, Coit, Covell, Creston, Dickinson, East Leonard, Gerald R. Ford, GR Montessori, Harrison Park, Ken-O-Sha, Kent Hills, Mulick Park, North Park, Ottawa Hills, Riverside, School of Health Sciences, Shawmut Hills, Sibley, Southwest Community Campus, Union, Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy (UPrep), and Westwood.

MATTAWAN, MI -- Five-year-old Jocelyn Chapman was up at 1 o'clock this morning and again at 6, too excited to sleep on her first day of kindergarten at Mattawan Early Elementary School.
"She's looking forward to going to a new school," said her father, Roger Chapman, as he filled out paperwork in Jolene Davey's classroom. Jocelyn sat beside her father, a big pink bow in her hair.
"My kids are growing up too fast," sighed Chapman, the father of three.
Mixed feelings were a common sentiment among parents Tuesday morning at Mattawan Early Elementary.
"It's bittersweet," said Monica Manion, who was dropping off her daughter, Ayla King, at kindergarten. "She's not my baby anymore."
"I had a tear in my eye this morning," said Chad King, Ayla's father.
The excitement wasn't limited to kindergarten students. Julie Clark said her daughter, Emerie, a second grader, woke "really early and was like, 'Can we go? Can we go?' "
"I'm a little blue," Clark said. "She's going back to school and the summer's over."
Mya Lambert said she was as excited as her children about the first day of school. "I don't have hear, 'I'm bored' anymore," said Lambert, who has three children in Mattawan schools and a newborn at home.
Among those experiencing their first day of classes at Mattawan Early Elementary was Becky Moore, the school's new principal.
Moore, previously an instructional coach at Battle Creek Lakeview Middle School, replaced Derek Wheaton, who retired in June.
Moore acknowledged that it's a little daunting to head the largest elementary school in the Kalamazoo area for her first administrative job. The school, which serves grades K-2, has almost 900 students.
What makes it much easier, she said, is that she's coming into a well-run school with an experienced staff. "I'm taking over a school of excellence," she said.
Moore said the staff and parents have been "very welcoming."
"It's been a good summer," she said. "I'm ready for school to start."
Among the parents who came to the school Tuesday morning was Triena Atkinson, who put her children on the bus and then followed them to school to take their photo as they arrived.
Atkinson has a Mattawan middle-schooler and sons in second and third grade. She said the middle-schooler nixed the idea of a first-day photos, and even her sons, "are sort of like, 'Really, come on.' "
But it's her duty as a mother, she laughed.
"It's part of the first-day craziness," she said, "but it's worth it."

Lesser Tenrecs
In this area, you will learn the pros and cons of having a pet Madagascan lesser hedgehog tenrec. Click the links to learn how to properly care for your pet tenrec.
Lesser Tenrecs as Pets
Lesser Hedgehog Tenrecs (Echinops telfairi) can make really great pets for some people and not so great pets for others. Here are a few pros and cons for you to consider before getting a pet tenrec.
- Although they are called Lesser Hedgehog Tenrecs, they are not part of the hedgehog family. They are actually quite different from a hedgehog. If you are looking for a hedgehog, get a hedgehog.
- Tenrecs are primarily nocturnal. Most are a little sensitive to light and don't wake up until pretty late in the evening. They can be a little grumpy when you wake them up, but most will warm up rather quickly and will play a little during the day if you do wake them up.
- Tenrecs are pretty easy to feed and water, but it's not a good idea to leave them alone for more than a day. If you go out of town, you will need to make sure you have someone lined up to feed & check up on your pet tenrec daily.
- A tenrec cage can be as easy and cheap as using a large, clear storage bin with air holes drilled into it. However, tenrecs do like to climb and will enjoy climbing the sides of a cage with bars or mesh on it.
- Most tenrecs are content to live alone, but do well with cage mates. A few girls can usually be housed together (or possibly a few males if they were raised together).
- Tenrecs are not generally very stinky. They don't eat very much and they stay pretty clean. We have noticed that ours do not flip over their food and water dishes or poop all over their wheels like the hedgehogs do.
- Lesser Hedgehog Tenrecs go through torpor in the Winter, which is a form of hibernation. During this 4 or 5 month period of time, their bodies slow down and they do not eat or move around as much. It is important to keep an eye on them to make sure they are not losing too much weight. This hibernation period means they are very cheap and easy to care for in the Winter. However, it can be scary when it seems like they are not eating for months at a time. You can still hold them during torpor, but they may not be as fun to play with or watch.
- Tenrecs are relatively easy to feed but can sometimes be very picky about their food (even when they're not in torpor). Ours have done very well on our hedgehog diet. Diet consists of a blend of high quality cat foods, insects, fruits, and vegetables. We occasionally offer them a high-quality canned cat food as well.
- Tenrecs are very cheap and easy to entertain. They really enjoy having a running wheel in their cage. They are good climbers, so they enjoy bridges and logs and other things to climb and explore.
- Tenrecs are much smaller than hedgehogs and come in fewer colors (various shades of brown and blonde). Their personalities do vary. Good breeders will handle their babies regularly, to ensure they are used to people. They are typically less shy than hedgehogs. Some tenrecs are more outgoing than others. It is rare for a tame pet tenrec to bite, but they do have teeth. They do not usually ball up like a hedgehog.
- Tenrecs are spiky and their quills can hurt, but not usually as much as a hedgehog. They are a lot easier to pick up and handle. If upset, they will usually give a warning hiss and then may charge and bite.
- Tenrecs do enjoy an occasional dust bath, like a chinchilla.
- Tenrecs are prone to dry skin if you don't keep the humidity high enough. Dry skin can be treated with a little olive oil.
- Tenrecs do well in a temperature range of 75 - 89 degrees Fahrenheit in the Summer. If you are keeping tenrecs as pets, they should do well at around 75 degrees year-round. If breeding, they may require a temperature drop in the Winter in the 62 - 68 degree range. To maintain the warm temperature, you may need to use a space heater, reptile warming mat, or ceramic heat bulb.
- Tenrecs can be fun and odd little creatures. Several times, we have walked in the room to find tenrecs sleeping or standing in the food silo that is attached to the side of the cage. Like a hedgehog, if they encounter a new scent, they may gnaw on the source, foam at the mouth, and then put it on their bodies. (We believe the intent is to camoflauge.) But instead of contorting and licking the foam onto themselves like a hedgehog, they will put it onto their hands and then rub their hands all over their bodies as if taking a shower. It is really quite funny.
- Because tenrecs are such a rare pet in the U.S., not many vets will know how to treat them. It is important to make sure that you have a vet that knows how to properly take care of tenrecs or is willing to learn. Search for a good exotic vet PRIOR to purchasing a tenrec and PRIOR to having an emergency. Make sure you can afford annual wellness checkups and potential emergencies.

More than 40 high school Florida seniors have earned a 2013 National Merit Scholarship. PHS senior Nick Gupta is included in the group.
They are part of the first group of winners awarded scholarships this year financed by businesses.
"These students are the best and brightest of our state's outstanding schools and their efforts and diligence are models for us all," said Florida Commissioner of Education Dr. Tony Bennett. "They are competing with their peers on a national level and I am proud of their achievement in this very challenging process."
Last fall, National Merit Scholarship Corporation officials recognized high school seniors as semifinalists who had the highest scores on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and met published program participation requirements.
To be considered for a scholarship, semifinalists also submitted a detailed application that included their academic record throughout high school, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, and honors and awards received.
The student also submitted an endorsement by a high school official, wrote an essay, and earned SAT scores that confirmed their earlier performance on the qualifying test. Winners are the candidates judged to have the strongest combination of academic skills and achievements, extracurricular accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
"Our national merit scholars serve as a model that every student has the ability to learn at a high level," Bennett added. "It is exciting that the Common Core State Standards will ensure even more Florida students have this type of opportunity in the future."
Corporate sponsors provide National Merit scholarships for students who are children of their employees, who are residents of communities the company serves, or who plan to pursue college majors or careers the sponsor wishes to encourage.
Most of the awards are renewable for up to four years of college undergraduate study and provide annual stipends that range from $500 to $10,000 per year; some provide a single award between $2,500 and $5,000. Recipients can use the scholarship at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university of their choice.
Gupta's scholarship was sponsored by the National Distillers Distributors Foundation.

Syracuse, NY -- A Syracuse woman pleaded guilty to felony vehicular assault and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated in the aftermath of an accident in Clay last April.
Onondaga County Court Judge John Brunetti promised to sentence Ashley Brady, 25, to four months of weekends in jail, 200 hours of community service and five years' probation if she stays out of trouble before her sentencing on Jan. 5. Brady also is to have her licensed revoked for six months. She could get seven years in prison if she gets in more trouble, Brunetti warned her.
Brady admitted to Brunetti that she was driving drunk on Morgan Road on April 24 and that the accident seriously injured Robert Wolfe, 66, of Liverpool.
Brady's 2000 Nissan X-Terra was attempting to make a left turn and pulled in front of Wolfe's motorcycle, causing the motorcycle to hit the X-Terra, Assistant District Attorney James R. Daley said. Wolfe was thrown from the motorcycle and sustained a broken pelvis and internal injuries, Daley said.
Wolfe did not object to the plea deal, Daley told the court.
Brady ordinarily would have been charged with 2nd degree vehicular assault, but the charge was bumped up to 1st degree because she had been convicted Oct. 30 in Salina town court of driving while her ability was impaired.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali captured the worlds attention with Infidel, her compelling coming-of-age memoir, which spent thirty-one weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, in Nomad, Hirsi Ali tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, the strife she witnessed, and the inner conflict she suffered. It is the story of her physical journey to freedom and, more crucially, her emotional journey to freedomher transition from a tribal mind-set that restricts womens every thought and action to a life as a free and equal citizen in an open society. Through stories of the challenges she has faced, she shows the difficulty of reconciling the contradictions of Islam with Western values.
In these pages Hirsi Ali recounts the many turns her life took after she broke with her family, and how she struggled to throw off restrictive superstitions and misconceptions that initially hobbled her ability to assimilate into Western society. She writes movingly of her reconciliation, on his deathbed, with her devout father, who had disowned her when she renounced Islam after 9/11, as well as with her mother and cousins in Somalia and in Europe.
Nomad is a portrait of a family torn apart by the clash of civilizations. But it is also a touching, uplifting, and often funny account of one womans discovery of todays America. While Hirsi Ali loves much of what she encounters, she fears we are repeating the European mistake of underestimating radical Islam. She calls on key institutions of the Westincluding universities, the feminist movement, and the Christian churchesto enact specific, innovative remedies that would help other Muslim immigrants to overcome the challenges she has experienced and to resist the fatal allure of fundamentalism and terrorism.
This is Hirsi Alis intellectual coming-of-age, a memoir that conveys her philosophy as well as her experiences, and that also conveys an urgent message and missionto inform the West of the extent of the threat from Islam, both from outside and from within our open societies. A celebration of free speech and democracy, Nomad is an important contribution to the history of ideas, but above all a rousing call to action.
This woman is a major hero of our time. - Richard Dawkins
Illuminating analysis NOMADs special strength lies in the way that her arguments and perceptions are rooted in personal experience . She rages eloquently writes revealingly. NOMAD is an excellent read. -New York Review of Books

Massachusetts Senior Games next on tee for former LPGA Tour player Cathy Mockett
Follow on Twitter
on April 29, 2012 at 6:25 PM, updated May 02, 2012 at 6:33 PM
Cathy Mockett of East Longmeadow is no stranger to big events.
The former LPGA Tour player spent more than a decade on tour, won two USGA national championships and competed in a half-dozen U.S.
Mockett was hired six weeks ago as the managing director of Massachusetts Senior Games, which begin in mid-May with competition in the first of 22 sports.
"We have so much to do and it has been a huge challenge," Mockett said. "I have been involved in golf and sports my whole life, but there is a lot more involved in this than I had anticipated."
Mockett's immediate priorities include general exposure of the event and securing sponsorship and volunteers.
"The Games have been around for more than 20 years, but a lot of people still do not know about it," Mockett said. "Right now, we are expecting 1,100 to 1,300 athletes, from 10 different states and three countries."
Age minimum starts at 40 for these state championships, but qualifiers for the national championships must be at least 50.
"The ages are set in five-year divisions and by making the (minimum) age 40, we are getting more people involved and it will really help make a difference when they get to (age) 50," Mockett said.
The dates and sites vary according to sport, but the majority of games is set for Father's Day Weekend and is largely centered on Western Mass. area sites
"Being so local is great, but the majority of the population is in the eastern part of the state," Mockett said. "We want to give them good reason to come out this way."
One avenue is the attraction of The Ranch Golf Club in Southwick, host of the 18-hole golf championships on June 19.
"That's a great site, (head pro) Hope Kelley has been great and we think it will draw golfers from all over," Mockett said.
Qualifiers advance to the Nationals, next year in Cleveland , Ohio.
"Most events, the top finishers qualify (for nationals) . . . but the golf is based on your actual score," said Mockett, who added that the qualifying standards had not yet been made official. "But it's basically based on slope and your age bracket."

One of the big realisations was that Parle-G, whose virtues we sang to everyone we met - 27 paise and 25 calories per biscuit - during Rs. 100/day, is not quite the wonderfood given its price. We are better off making rotis or dosas and eating it with condiments or curry for breakfast, as we did that on day three - 3 dosas for Re. 1! MISSED calls are a fundamental form of communication. It involves calling someone on his/her mobile phone from your mobile phone and hanging up after a couple of rings before the other person picks up. It is like a Facebook poke. It isn't very descriptive, yet can mean a lot. "Call me back", or, "Your letter has arrived", or, "Your package is ready to be picked" etc. Why is it done? Because it is free - well almost, if you have lifetime validity on your SIM card.
Why is this relevant? While accounting for all our non-food expenses, we made a key observation. Of course, we are constrained by our upper limit of Rs 25 for our daily budget. This means, after Rs 17 for food, we have 8 rupees for everything else. (Why Rs. 25 instead of Rs. 32? because we cannot expense for education, healthcare, clothing, durables, rent, etc, which make up the difference between 25 and 32. ) Most of our expenses seemed to be in line - cooking on a combo of firewood and gas and using cheap toiletries - with what the Planning Commission has allocated for non-food expenses. But communications stood out at a hefty Rs. 2;and this too when we made no outbound calls and put in the minimum for incoming and SMS plans! In reality, of course, people make outbound calls as well - you can't survive only on missed calls forever. Are we missing something? So we turned to our Tendulkar report expense pie chart to verify and were shocked to see that it doesn't account for communications.
WHEN we started this experiment, we foresaw it as a part-time exercise. We had just left our jobs with the intention of starting up on our own and figured that a month was the perfect duration of time to do some business planning. But 17 days into our 'average living' we have hardly done anything related to our venture. No doubt, we were initially tired and hungry from the nutritional/caloric deficiencies, which prevented us from having the energy to do much. However, even after acclimatising ourselves to the lifestyle, we found that there was simply not enough time left in the day to do any start up related work. The primary reason for this was that we didn't have a 'houseperson' at home.
This is a gender neutral term for someone who stays home and does the various chores (our definition). And, trust us, there is no scarcity of chores - cleaning dishes, sweeping/mopping floors, getting rid of the gunk on the stove and counter-tops, cooking food, washing clothes... We spend an average 3 hours a day on these activities And we didn't include the time and effort spent to go out and buy groceries on a regular basis.
EATING OUT is expensive and this means it is imperative that an average household cooks and consumes food at home. As they have limited or no access to a refrigerator, those making the mean wage have no choice but to make frequent purchases of perishable items. The amount of work that needs to be done is significantly higher for these people as they live in houses that have chores to be done in the yard and have more people in the household (children etc. ).

There is really no way of ignoring or excusing it: since the start of the new millennium, Big Ten teams have collectively won more bowl games than they've lost just one year (2002). And the combined record of Big Ten teams over the past three years is atrocious (8-14).
For fans it's embarrassing to own up to such a statistic when conferences like the SEC are able (and justified) to use it as ammunition.
Each year when I'm polling conference coaches, the question always comes up as to where the Big Ten stacks up in terms of the rest of America's top-level conferences. Are the teams of the Big Ten as good as those that reside in the Pac-10? Are Big Ten players as tested and skilled as those playing in the Big 12? Coaches always answer 'yes' because, well, they have no other choice. And while I'm sure honorable men like Kirk Ferentz truly believe in their hearts that the Big Ten can compete on the national scale, it is this time of year that proves it cannot.

Voices united in a moment of prayer
Last Thursday, May 4, about 25 people gathered outside North Bend City Hall in celebration of the 55th annual National Day of Prayer.
"There was a feeling of unity," said North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing, who attended the nondenominational event."[I came] for more than just because I am the mayor. I really enjoy this kind of celebration. I thought it went real well."
The National Day of Prayer was established by Congress in 1952 and it encourages people of all faiths to pray, with a specific focus on their government, the media, education, church and family.
The first Thursday of May was selected as the official day in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan.
"It's really a rally," said Pastor Pete Battjes, who led the prayer. "It is really a movement, which is pretty phenomenal."
The 45-minute event included readings and open prayer, as well as songs "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and "America the Beautiful," led by Battjes' wife, Vivian.
The theme this year was "America, Honor God."
In years past, the North Bend prayer observance has been held at the North Bend Community Church, where Battjes presides. This year, Battjes focused on encouraging those outside his congregation to take part.
"I came because it's a really important period [in our nation] to pray," said North Bend resident Kit Osborne, who had never taken part in a celebration of this type before.
Similar activities were led by other local religious leaders at the Snoqualmie Fire Station, where Battjes estimated about 30 people attended, including Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson, and at the Chapel located at Travel America, where about 12 people attended.
"It's exciting to see the movement of uniting people in prayer," Battjes said.
"Throughout our history there have been times our president has called on America to pray," Battjes said, noting that such requests date back to the 1700s with the nation's first president, George Washington. "It still prevails because there is a need within the hearts of all people to look beyond themselves."
Battjes said he is already thinking about next year's National Day of Prayer celebration.
"It will be bigger and better," he said.
Proclamations for the day were signed by President George Bush and Gov. Christine Gregoire, as well as by Larson and Hearing.
"It's a local endorsement," said Battjes, noting that local government does not have to sign a proclamation for the observance to occur, as it is a nationally sanctioned day.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio acknowledged the departure of junior Dion Sims into the upcoming NFL Draft on Thursday night, providing league scouts with his evaluation of the talented tight end.
"Despite missing nearly three full games (with an ankle injury), Dion Sims still earned second-team All-Big Ten honors, so that says something about his production,'' Dantonio said in a school release. "He's a big target with great hands. With his combination of size and power, Dion is difficult to bring down, so he gains lots of yards after the catch.''
Dantonio discussed talented tailback Le'Veon Bell leaving early on Thursday night, though he has yet to respond to reports that junior defensive end William Gholston will declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft.
Unlike Bell and Gholston, the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Sims has yet to prove himself as a consistent marquee performer, though he certainly has the look and the measurables of an NFL starter.
Sims had only 36 catches for 475 yards and two touchdowns this season, though he did display good hands and better than average running ability after the catch.
Sims seemed to be on the fence as far as his future was concerned following Michigan State's 17-16 victory over TCU in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, as he discussed the possibility to improve his draft stock and earn his degree.
Dantonio took note that Sims will be the third NFL tight end his system has produced at Michigan State.
"Although we'll miss Dion in our offense next season, he felt the timing was right and we wish him all the best in his future,'' Dantonio said. "Since returning to Michigan State (as head coach)m our offensive system has helped develop two tight ends that are currently playing in the NFL in Kellen Davis (Chicago Bears) and Garrett Celek (San Francisco 49ers), so there's a proven track record of our players having success at his position at the next level.''
The early departures of Bell, Sims and Gholston robs Michigan State of much of its star power, but the linebacking corps is loaded with elite talent and cornerback Darqueze Dennard should rank as one of the best cover cornerbacks in the nation.

Robert Ulmer Patterson, 93, a retired Toledo accountant and former chairman of St. Vincent Hospital's board of trustees, died Saturday at his home in West Virginia.
His death was likely related to complications of several strokes suffered in his last years, his youngest daughter, Ann Fort, said.
After he retired as a certified public accountant and audit partner at the former Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. in 1974, Mr. Patterson immersed himself in volunteer work by serving on several advisory boards in the community.
"My mom always joked that after he retired, he still had a full-time job," Mrs. Fort said. "He was around 60 when he retired, and he was sharp. He had a lot to offer."
From 1978 to 1983, Mr. Patterson served as chairman of the board of trustees of the former St. Vincent's Hospital, now Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. He also served on the board of Family Services of Northwest Ohio; the former Medical College of Ohio's joint liaison committee on medical education; the board for the Sunshine Children's Home, and as treasurer of the Toledo Dental Dispensary.
Before he moved to Asheville, N.C., with his wife in 1989, Mr. Patterson also was church treasurer and active on several committees at Epworth United Methodist Church in Ottawa Hills, his daughter said.
He was born in Toledo in 1915. A Scott High School graduate, he attended the University of Toledo.
He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1941 to 1945 during World War II, and he enjoyed sharing stories of his time in the service with his grandchildren, Mrs. Fort said. He spent two years on Alaska's Aleutian Islands and recounted how he nearly lost his life during an attack by the Japanese.
"The storm came in with really dense fog, and they could actually hear the planes overhead," she said. "The weather saved them."
He was dating someone else when he met his wife, Katharine, on a double date a few months before the end of his time in the service. They married three weeks later, his daughter said.
He is survived by his wife, Katharine, of Lewisburg, W.Va.; his brother, William Henry Patterson, Jr., of Toledo; daughters, Claire Smith of Portland, Maine, and Ann Fort of Lewisburg, W.Va.; and eight grandchildren.
Visitation will be held at noon Saturday at Wallace and Wallace Funeral Home in Lewisburg. Services will follow at 2 p.m. Saturday.
The family suggests tributes to the Greenbriar Community College Foundation Inc., of Lewisburg, to establish a scholarship in Mr. Patterson's name for students with an interest in accounting.

Buoy permit fees to increase in November
Beginning on Nov. 1, permit fees for recreational mooring buoys in Bainbridge Island waters will cost boat owners $200 under the city's new programmatic buoy system.
Under the new program, owners must complete a standard application that includes a worksheet for depicting the buoy's elevation and anchor type and a site plan. The application may be used by those applying for new buoys as well as those who wish to receive an after-the-fact permit to bring an existing buoy into compliance.
The deadline for applications is Oct. 31. There will no fee charges until Nov. 1, when a $200 charge fee will be put in place until the full fee of $450 per permit goes into effect on May 1, 2012.
Notices were posted on unpermitted buoys in July, informing owners that their buoys are in violation of city code. Buoys that remain unpermitted after Nov. 1 will be given six months to bring the buoy into compliance or risk a fine and/or the removal of the buoy, according to a city press release.
Owners of buoys installed prior to 1996 – considered to be non-conforming – are asked to submit documentation to indicate their buoy's placement prior to 1996.
The programmatic application, nonconforming form and more information are available at http://www.ci.bainbridge-isl.wa.us/buoy_permits.aspx. Call the buoy hotline at 780-3731 with specific questions on buoy permitting.

Everybody, let's welcome to 2013 free agency the Oakland Raiders, who made their first splash since the signing period opened Tuesday.
The team that had a relatively quiet first day of free agency, save for two notable releases, on Wednesday made their first three unrestricted free agent signings of the offseason, coming to terms with three on defense—linebacker Kaluka Maiava, defensive tackle Pat Sims and defensive end Jason Hunter.
OK. It's a small splash, but it's something.
Maiava, 26, started 13 games for the Cleveland Browns last season and has 22 starts in 50 games. He arrives a day after starting strong side linebacker Philip Wheeler signed with the Miami Dolphins. […]
Sims, 27, has 23 starts in five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals but just one in the past two years. At 6-foot-2, 335 pounds, Sims can play over the nose at a position of need for a team that lost Desmond Bryant to Cleveland in free agency and has parted ways with veteran Richard Seymour.
Hunter, 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, spent last season on the injured reserve list of the Denver Broncos with a triceps injury. Hunter has 23 starts and played in 88 games with the Broncos, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. He was an undrafted free agent signed by the Packers when McKenzie was in the Green Bay personnel department.
They're not sexy names but they fit the Raiders' budget. Trying to find the diamonds in the rough is pretty much all Oakland can afford to do right now.
The Philip Wheeler signing wasn't much different last offseason, and, even though he was only in town for one year, it turned out pretty well.

Hi Everyone.
Refusing to eat certain foods can mean different things for different babies at different times. It may just be their way of getting your attention. It may just be that they don't like the taste or texture of a particular food at a particular time, but this doesn't mean they will always refuse the same food. For some foods you may need to offer it more than ten times before they'll happily eat it. My daughter refused peas for years, I even resorted to hiding them in her mashed potato to try and get her to eat them (although of course she always found them!), but now she loves them!
How many of you are having to deal with your baby being fussy about the food at the moment? It can be exasperating having the foods you've lovingly prepared for your little one being refused, but you can be sure you're not alone. Particularly for toddlers, food refusal is all part of them wanting to exert their new-found independence on the world around them! It is a normal phase that many of them go through and you shouldn't worry too much.
However, there are a few things you can do to help during this phase:

Sorry, it's been a while since I was last in touch – must be something to do with all the Bank Holidays we've had recently!
For those of you whose little ones have already reached the toddler stage, you've probably already read about the importance of healthy eating for your toddler and the influence their eating habits now can have on their future health. No doubt you're trying to make sure your toddler has a healthy eating routine and you're offering a good variety of nutrient-dense foods to make sure they meet all their nutritional requirements. At this stage, you should be able to offer your toddler many meals that are being eaten by the rest of the family, maybe just chopped up a bit if necessary, but this isn't always the case. Just when you think life might start getting a bit easier now that you don't have to prepare meals especially for your baby, fussy eating might be getting in the way! Look out for my next blog for some hints and tips on handling fussy eating.
When planning your family's meals, there are a few important things you should remember about a toddler's dietary needs that might influence the foods they can eat and any adaptations you might want to make to family meals –

Hi everyone!
At 1 year of age, although they need less of it, milk is still an important part of a toddler's diet and provides them with valuable protein, energy, vitamins and minerals such as calcium. They should be getting about ½-¾ pint (about 300-400 ml) each day. You shouldn't let them drink much more than this as it reduces the appetite for other valuable foods.
Toddlers are often switched from formula milk feeds to whole cows' milk at the age of one. But is this the best thing to do or are there any benefits in sticking with formula milk instead? Cows' milk can give your toddler lots of the nutrients that he or she needs, but one thing it lacks that is found in much higher amounts in formula milks is iron.
Toddlers are particularly susceptible to iron deficiency. It is estimated that 1 in 8 toddlers in the UK may be anaemic, with the problem being even greater than this in some groups. Babies are born with enough iron stores to last until about 6 months of age and after this they rely on food sources, but some toddlers may not eat enough of these iron-containing foods to meet their needs. Fussy eating during toddlerhood can certainly make the situation worse.
If your toddler is a fussy eater or their intake of iron-containing foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, lentils and fortified foods such as breakfast cereals is limited, then they could very well benefit from the continued use of a formula milk such as a Growing up Milk after 1 year. These Growing up Milks usually contain 40 times more iron than whole cows' milk. But this doesn't mean that you can stop encouraging them to eat these other foods; variety is key to a healthier diet for your growing child.
Remember, if you are giving your toddler cows' milk, don't switch to semi-skimmed milk until they are at least two years old and only do this if they are a good eater and have a varied diet. Skimmed milk should not be given to children under five years old as it is too low in fat and energy.
Have a look at the HiPP Baby Club for more advice on milk and other drinks at this age.
Bye for now,Helen

Hi Everyone!
I've just come off a call from the mother of a 11 month old baby who keeps waking up at night wanting milk. She wanted to know what she should do.
The first thing I did was to reassure her that this is quite a common problem and she's not alone. Babies often wake up a number of times throughout the night. Their crying might make you think they are hungry and needing a feed, but most babies don't need night time feeds after the age of about 6-8 months from a nutritional point of view. They should be getting enough energy and nutrition from their milk and foods during their day to meet their requirements.
The aim is to get them to fall back to sleep again without needing the cue of being fed first. Although it may seem much easier to feed them than trying to work out another way of settling them (especially if they are breastfed), feeding your baby during the night won't help them sleep better; in fact, it may prolong the problem and make it worse.
When they wake during the night, you should make sure they are comfortable and then try to settle them in a way that suits you and your baby. There are various things you might want to try –
I know it probably sounds easier said than done, but it usually works if you stick with it. You can find more advice and tips on helping your baby get a good night's sleep on the HiPP Baby Club.
Until next time...

Hi Everyone,
Recently I have been asked by confused mums why, even though their health visitor has told them to avoid giving dairy products until baby is at least 6 months, there are baby food jars labelled as suitable from 4 months when they contain cow's milk and cheese. Also, if cow's milk isn't suitable as a drink until a year of age, is it really safe for inclusion in weaning foods anyway?
Of course, weaning shouldn't be started until baby is ready for solids, usually around 6 months and definitely not before 4 months of age. If baby is ready at 4 months, however, cow's milk and other dairy products such as small amounts of cheese, yogurt, fromage frais and milk-based dishes can be used in weaning foods from the start and there is no reason to suggest otherwise. The foods that you should avoid giving before 6 months are shown at the link below:
Previously, concerns about including these ingredients in weaning foods were based on their potential to cause allergic reactions. However, recent statements by the British Dietetic Association Paediatric Group and other specialists in Europe and the United States have highlighted that current evidence indicates that there is in fact no need to delay the introduction of certain potentially allergenic foods e.g. milk, cheese, yogurts, egg, fish, wheat, gluten, until a certain age as doing so will not reduce the likelihood of allergies developing.
Remember that cow's milk shouldn't be given as baby's main drink until 1 year of age as it doesn't contain enough iron and other nutrients to meet baby's needs. Breast milk or an infant or follow on formula should be given up until this age. Toddlers can be introduced to cow's milk from year as they should be able to get enough iron from other foods in the diet, but if you are concerned about their intake of iron from foods then continued use of formula or introduction of a Growing up Milk can be very reassuring.

The third round of the Renova Group FIDE Grand Prix in Zug, Switzerland failed to produce any decisive games, leaving Alexander Morozevich, Ruslan Ponomariov and Veselin Topalov as joint leaders with a score of 2/3 points.
Veselin Topalov came closest to winning his game in a complicated struggle with Gata Kamsky, but the Bulgarian missed his chance to take the sole lead.

The Zug Grand Prix standings after 3 rounds
The Zug Grand Prix runs from 17 April - 1 May, and the overall winner and runner-up of the 2012/13 Grand Prix series will qualify for the next Candidates Tournament, expected to be held in March 2014. The current standings are here.
Each tournament is a single round-robin featuring 12 out of the 18 players in the Grand Prix, and each player competes in four of the six events. The best 3 scores of each player count towards their overall score. The official regulations for the 2012/13 FIDE Grand Prix can be found here.
The schedule for the 2013 Zug Grand Prix
All rounds start at 14:00 local time (12:00 UTC) except the final round which starts 2 hours earlier. The time control used is 40 moves in 2 hours, followed by 20 moves in 1 hour, then 15 minutes plus a 30 second increment after move 60.

after the candidate tournament, I feel curious about the challenge between Anand and Carlsen not other tournaments!!! I don't know how many people have my feeling however it worths to wait!
I think that most non-grandmasters would feel that there is just a bit of play left in the Giri-Radjabov game.
Nakamura has a hat!
LOL Radjabov has the highest rating but the least points.
@restinpeace... there are several manufacturers making boards like this, it would be impossible to know. But knowing Switzerland it might be easier to go to a mastercarpenter shop and have them custom make a chess board from hardwood...
@ restinpeace - I don't know, sorry.
@SonofPearl do you know whats the name of the chess set that theyre using in this tourney?
@ King_chess1 - good question. I've no idea - the pgn scores are from the official website and I hadn't noticed. I've changed them to Zug Grand Prix now.
why is it given as candidates tournament in the games?

I live in New Hampshire state close to the border of Vermont. And I am aware that there are numerous Organic Farms around this area but the problem is -How to find the best one?
Is anyone aware of any website for searching for a good Organic Farm?
Is there like some sort of Organization of Organic Farmers?
Another good site is http://www.eatwild.com
Hello from a neighboring Vermonter! Try the NOFA-VT (Northeast Organic Farming Association) site: http://www.nofavt.org/. NOFA-NH doesn't seem to have listings on their site. Local Harvest (see link above, posted by maba) will have lots of listings, including listings of farmer's markets, which will be your best bet. Winter farmer's markets have really taken off in Vermont in the past couple of years. Remember, though, that there are lots of farmers out there using organic methods and producing excellent food who are not certified organic. Certification is expensive, and some people are opting out on moral grounds (certification was a political football when is was established).

KALAMAZOO — Tolera Therapeutics Inc. said this week that it has filed an application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a drug helps people deal with organ transplants.
The Kalamazoo-based drug-discovery startup said its biologic protein is designed to suppress the immune systems of patients who have received organ transplants, which can fail because the body rejects and attacks the organ of another person.
"This action marks an important development milestone as the company continues its drive to address the patient's need for safer and more effective immune suppression therapy," said John Puisis, president and CEO of Tolera. "Current industry practices and pipelines offer limited and incomplete solutions to advance patient care and meet this critical need."
Puisis said that if the FDA accepts the company's application, it expect to begin clinical trials of the drug candidate next year.
Tolera is a spin-off company from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation that was brought to Kalamazoo last year with an investment from the Southwest Michigan First Life Sciences Fund. The $50 million fund requires recipients to set up operations in Kalamazoo.
Tolera has also received funding from Triathlon Medical Venture Partners, Hopen Therapeutics and the Michigan Economic Development Corp.

Monday is Veterans Day. The original intent of this day was to honor all those who served our country to protect our freedoms. It was established because the armistice ending World War I — which was said to be the "war that ends all wars" — took place at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, 1918. Unfortunately, this proved not to be the case and many of our loved ones have paid the ultimate sacrifice since.
Veterans Day, for many, has resulted in a day off school, a chance to do some shopping, and many other things, ignoring what the day really means.
So let us all celebrate this day in its true meaning by honoring our veterans.
At 11 a.m. Monday, let us contact a veteran by phone, email, Twitter, Facebook, or in person and thank them for their service to our country and how much we appreciate what they did.
At the same time, stop and say a prayer for those veterans who have departed this life in service to our country.
I think if we do this, the day will have a special meaning for all of us and those who gave so much to keep us free.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Johnny Manziel will throw out the first pitch on Wednesday night, but the Indians might be better served if he toes the rubber in the sixth or seventh inning.
The Tribe bullpen is taxed, but the team continues to churn out wins. Here are five observations following Cleveland's fifth consecutive victory.
1. No ink in the 'pen: Marc Rzepczynski has amassed 31 pitching appearances, the most of any hurler in baseball. Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen check in next with 30.
Manager Terry Francona only seems to trust those three and Scott Atchison in dicey situations. Unless the starting pitchers are submitting eight-inning efforts every night, that isn't a recipe for success.
Shaw was unavailable on Tuesday and Francona said he regretted using him on Monday. Allen has appeared in six of the Indians' last eight games. Rzepczynski has pitched in each of the last three contests.
Even if a reliever only tosses a handful of pitches during the game, getting loose and warming up take a toll.
2. Helping Hags: Nick Hagadone chipped in on Tuesday and earned his first victory in two years after contributing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Hagadone had logged a 3.09 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings at Triple-A Columbus before he joined the big league club on Monday. Francona indicated that Hagadone could receive an opportunity to deliver in critical junctures moving forward.
3. Chopped down: John Axford has not pitched since May 27. Francona has said the right-hander has looked better, and he has: Axford has racked up a 1.29 ERA over his last eight appearances, spanning seven innings. During that stretch, he has limited opposing hitters to a .185 batting average and .290 on-base percentage.
Yet, even with the club's core relievers admittedly overworked, he hasn't sniffed the mound in more than a week. Axford is earning $4.5 million this season, but it seems as though the Indians are paying that salary to a pitcher they no longer trust.
4. Other options: Francona expressed disappointment over the Indians losing Blake Wood to the Royals, who claimed the right-hander off waivers. Wood had issued 11 free passes in eight innings since being optioned to Columbus. The Indians enjoyed his ability to hit triple digits on the radar gun, but not enough to protect him on the roster, as they designated him for assignment last week.
Vinnie Pestano has amassed a 2.41 ERA in 18 2/3 innings at Triple-A. He has tallied 24 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings, with 14 hits allowed and six walks. When the Indians have dipped into their minor league depth to summon a reliever, they have opted for Mark Lowe, Kyle Crockett, C.C. Lee and Hagadone instead of Pestano.
5. Commodore Kluber: The Indians will have Corey Kluber on the mound on Wednesday. The right-hander, tied for the major league lead with 95 strikeouts, has lasted at least 6 2/3 innings in each of his last outings. A strong outing from the righty could help spare the taxed bullpen heading into Thursday's off-day before the Tribe embarks on a 10-day, 10-game, three-city roadtrip.

Senior centerfielder Damian Csakai had four hits and freshman pitcher Christian Rautenstrauch pitched four scoreless innings of relief to lead Wagner College to a 7-5 baseball victory over Monmouth Sunday at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark.
The Seahawks won three of four games in the Northeast Conference series, improving to a league-leading 11-5 and 16-14 overall.
Monmouth took an early 4-0 lead before Wagner tied it in the third inning when Kevin McDonnell delivered an RBI single, Brian Martutartus a two-run double and Seth Boyd an RBI triple. The Seahawks took a 5-4 lead in the fourth and added two runs in the fifth on RBI singles from Martutartus and Jon Lucas.
Rautenstrauch allowed one hit in his four-inning stine, striking out two, and closer Ian Karlsson earned his sixth save with a scoreless seventh inning.
Csakai went 4-for-5 with two runs, two stolen bases and a double, while Martutartus went 3-for-3 with three RBI. Boyd extended his hitting streak to 13 games.

Report from Taiji: December 20 (new video)
The days here in Taiji blend together. One day feels like a week. One week feels like a month. No one is really sure what day of the week it is or much less the date. All we know for sure is if the day we are currently living was a slaughter day or not. And today was a slaughter day.
A small pod of six Risso's dolphins were driven into the Cove and killed within literally a matter of minutes. No sooner had the nets gone up than the hunters were taking them back down. It happened so quickly that had you looked away, you would have missed it. But the Cove Guardians did not look away. We never look away and we are affected by every single soul that departs that Cove before its time.
As far as mass murder is concerned, I suppose today wasn't an exceptionally brutal day. However, as we solemnly sat around the dinner table, we all agreed that today felt more harrowing that the previous days. Perhaps this is because we've now had several days in a row of senseless slaughter and each day we feel more and more helpless. Witnessing tragedy once is enough to break a sane person, but witnessing it day in and day out is bound to take its toll on our minds. I've received several e-mails from previous Cove Guardians saying how hard it is to adjust to 'normal' life after spending time here. Simply going home and going back to your routine is nearly impossible. For me personally, I no longer worry about the trivial things that seemed so important a few short months ago. Being here has taught me that life is a precious gift that is not to be wasted.
I believe today was a much more difficult day because three of the Guardians visited the famed "Whale Museum." They returned to the hotel with horrifying footage of a dolphin in a sling with IV fluids in its dorsal fin. We can only guess what was being pumped into this dolphin's body but we do know that captives tend to have weak immune systems. They suffer from ulcers due to the stress of performing, they battle depression due to many factors such as being separated from their families, watching their loved ones slaughtered and living in a confined space. On average, a wild dolphin will live roughly 50 years, whereas a captive dolphin will maybe live five years. I've heard rumors that the Taiji Whale Museum has the highest turnover of captive dolphins. Why? Because there's no need to treat a dolphin humanely; when one dies you simply grab another one from the Cove right around the corner. I do not have any evidence as of yet to back up this theory but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.
Perhaps the most disturbing and sickening part of the entire "Whale Museum" experience was that you can purchase dolphin meat in the restaurant and eat it while you watch the captive dolphins perform. I don't know if that's twisted irony or blatant disrespect. It seems to me that blatant disrespect doesn't even come close to explaining what to call this. These trainers are in a profession where they claim to love and revere these near-celestial beings but yet they eat a slab of dolphin meat on their lunch break.
From my observations, it seems clear that the captive industry is the true evil here. Parents need to be aware of the extensive damage they are causing to the dolphin species when they take their child to SeaWorld or any other dolphinarium. Touching or swimming with a dolphin seems to be on the bucket list of many. For once, humans need to put aside their selfish wants and focus on doing something for the greater good.
Here is your opportunity to become a Cove Guardian. To join us in Taiji (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk), write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will get back to you, but please be patient. We cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer e-mails at the same time. Contributions to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to keep our official presence here are needed and welcome. These contributions cover the costs for transport, telephone, equipment, supplies, food, and lodging for the official Sea Shepherd representative. We will remain here through the end of March and will return for the next season in September 2011.
Thank you to the citizens of Japan who are weighing these issues and beginning to take a stand to solve them. Thank you to everyone who is on the frontlines of this war. This is a war to save ourselves from ourselves. Without your calling and writing Japanese embassies and your own governments, there will be no change. Keep it up! Every time dolphins are pushed into the Cove, let them have it. Every time there is blood in the water, let them have it. Make good consumer choices. Inform everyone you know about the tragedy here and how it is linked to the captive dolphin trade. All who patronize a dolphin show have blood on their hands.
For the dolphins,
Libby Katsinis

Lucas high TBN 15/40 Truck Oil is a blend of high quality base oils and an additive package that allows extended drain intervals and a much higher degree of protection from metal to metal contact.
The exclusive additive package in Lucas 15/40 insures a protective film on parts at all times. Also, the additive package is more resistant to break down from the solvents in diesel fuel than common additive packages found in regular 15/40 blends.
Motor oil is usually changed because it's contaminated with combustion by-products, not because it's worn out. The high detergent action of Lucas 15/40 allows up to twice as much contamination to be held in suspension and still have good lubrication qualities.
Key Benefits
- Extended drain intervals
- Lower operating temperatures
- Higher degree of lubricity

Kristen Bell Dresses Up As Mary Poppins To Call For A Raise In Minimum Wage [VIDEO]
I had no idea that Kristen Bell could sing at all until I found out that she was one of the voices of Disney's latest huge blockbuster hit 'Frozen'. I'm going to guess, however, that Disney is not behind the latest video she's done for the website "Funny or Die."
In the video, she dresses up as Mary Poppins and flexes her golden pipes to plead for higher minimum wages.
Wow…she even makes a good Mary Poppins!
