I'm going to put this out there really quickly. I'm not a huge sports fan. Never have been - and probably never will be. I've gone to the occasional Rockies game (back when the local baseball team was still the Rockies). I've been to a few Mariners games with my spouse. I've seen a few PSU games. I watch the Super Bowl with my mum faithfully every year. The men in my family HATE football, so it's us women who watch the Super Bowl. And I've enjoyed the heck out of all of these events!
So, with that out of the way, I want to humbly disagree a little bit with John Canzano's opinion in the April 2, 2008, edition of the Oregonian. He says (rightfully so) that we shouldn't blame Mexico for the beating of a young Michigan man beaten to a bloody pulp. That's so true. Spring Break has always been out of control down there - for various reasons - so much so that the State Department issues warnings to those heading south of the border. However, ultimately, it is the responsibility of people not to break the law.
But Canzano asks us to blame Scott Morrison. And Scott Morrison alone. It is here where we part ways, just a little bit. There was another person there: Jeremiah Dominguez. There are varying reports saying that Dominguez did throw a punch, that he didn't throw a punch. It doesn't matter. He was there and, at the least, he watched his teammate pummel another man until he was a bloody mess.
And then, they left Kyle Meagher there. Both of them left Meagher there.
If criminal charges do not come to bear. I ask one thing. That the PSU coach, Ken Bone, those who supervise Bone, and the Interim President of PSU, Michael Reardon, chastise these men to the fullest extent that they can. It's one thing to be a bully on the court (neither man is) and it's another to beat the living daylights out of another human being.
I taught at PSU for 6 years. Sure, PSU doesn't have sports notoriarity like its southern neighbors, but it has heart. And I really hope that PSU can prove it. There are enough bullies and brats on the court (and in the field, and on the diamond, etc). Let's nip it in the bud now with these two and send a message to athletes from all walks of life: we don't tolerate violence on or off the field!

A common source of stress centers on how we interact with others, according to Business Psychology Associates, the State of Idaho's Employee Assistance Program provider.
When we think of ourselves as of being pushed around, not listened to and not able to stand up for ourselves, it can be very draining on our self-esteem and level of stress, BPA suggests in its online tips for state employees ( http://www.bpahealth.com )
It also can be very stressful when we act in angry ways that drive people away from us and leave us feeling alone, misunderstood, and hostile.
The way we relate to others is vital to our happiness and level of contentment.
Assertiveness is the middle ground between passive behaviors and aggressive behaviors. There are three fundamental styles of interacting with others - aggressive, passive, and assertive.
AGGRESSIVE includes fighting, threatening, accusing, intimidating, venting and letting off steam without regard for others' feelings. Although aggression may make us feel in control and can help us get our way, the cost to us is increased anger and stress, as well as strained relationships.
PASSIVE means letting others push us around, easily intimidated, and very avoidant of any type of conflict or uncomfortable situations. When we are passive, we may experience less direct rejection and conflict. In the long run, passive people experience more stress in terms of poor self-esteem and being taken advantage of by others.
We are being ASSERTIVE when we stand up for our rights and do not let others take advantage of us. At the same time, though, we are sensitive to other peoples' feelings and needs. The advantage to being assertive is that you can often get what you want, usually without making others mad. Assertive behavior allows you to act in your own best interest without guilt.
In terms of developing more assertive communication, here are some tips:
Example: "I think we spend a lot of time talking about your interests, and I feel irritated that we hardly ever talk about mine. I want our conversations to be more balanced."
Also, much of assertive communication involves listening to others in a way that shows you are paying attention and respect their opinion. Try to give your full attention and paraphrase what the speaker says. Ask for clarification if you do not understand something.
For more information on maintaining a balanced approach to mental health, please visit the BPA Web site.

Potential Corporate Losses Spur NCUA Waiver
The NCUA expects so many corporate credit unions to record capital losses their March 31 financials and restated December 31, 2008 financials, its suspended safety and soundness regulations in anticipation.
The agency's weekly corporate credit union update included a comment from Chairman Michael Fryzel that said because corporate credit union functions are tied to capital levels, the NCUA Board "has issued an order that will permit corporate credit unions to use the capital level as reported on their November 30, 2008, NCUA 5310 Call Report, for purposes of determining regulatory compliance with capital-based requirements and regulations in the corporate rule."
However, Fryzel continued, the office of corporate credit unions has been delegated the authority to restrict or modify the waiver for specific corporates based on safety and soundness.
"We believe this will allow corporate credit unions to continue to meet members' needs while also ensuring corporates do not take additional undue risk," Fryzel said.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The first inquiries made to Joe Girardi before last night's game were about the health of Joba Chamberlain's father. The follow-up, somewhat awkwardly, was a related question that was on everyone's minds.
Who in the world can the Yankees count on to pitch the eighth inning with Chamberlain gone indefinitely?
For one night at least, the answer was a stunning one: Kyle Farnsworth.
The usually unreliable right-hander pitched a perfect eighth to preserve a two-run lead and Mariano Rivera closed out the Tampa Bay Rays as the Yankees swept the two-game series with a 5-3 win at Tropicana Field.
"Even when Joba's here, we're going to need him," Girardi said of Farnsworth. "He's important to our bullpen, and we need him to pitch like he's capable of pitching, like he did tonight."
The Yankees head back home for a brief two-game stint against the rival Red Sox, still without Chamberlain but with renewed confidence in Farnsworth and the bullpen's ability to control the game.
It will be a well-rested bullpen, too, though Rivera has pitched two days in a row. That's thanks in large part to the seven strong innings the Yankees got from starter Andy Pettitte last night.
Though Pettitte labored through the first three innings against a free-swinging Rays team, he said he felt the best he has in his three starts since battling back spasms in spring training.
"All my pitches were working tonight for the first time," Pettitte said. "I was able to slow them down with some breaking stuff later in the game. I got in a good rhythm and was able to shut them down after the third inning or so."
Pettitte (2-1) allowed nine hits but only three runs, walking three and striking out five while throwing 100 pitches, 66 for strikes. The Rays put plenty of men on base early against him but had trouble turning the opportunities into runs. The Rays had runners at the corners and one out in the first but could not score. Then Pettitte got out of a bases-loaded jam in the second by getting Jason Bartlett to ground into an inning-ending double play.
The Rays touched him for two runs in the third to temporarily take the lead, but the Yankees offense added two runs each in the fourth and fifth inning to make Pettitte a winner. Overall, Girardi could not have been happier with the left-hander's tenacious outing.
"I think he's stronger, his stuff is sharper," Girardi said. "He had his curveball working after the third inning."
After seven innings, though, Girardi went to his bullpen.
Both LaTroy Hawkins and Farnsworth warmed up. But it was Farnsworth, with a 5.68 ERA in his first 6Ð innings this season, who got the call. The right-hander got Jonny Gomes to pop out to shortstop, then Robinson Cano made a sparkling play on Mike DiFelice's grounder up the middle, going to his right to rob DiFelice of a base hit. Farnsworth then struck out pinch-hitter Eric Hinske to complete the perfect inning.
"As far as I'm concerned, everybody's the same," Farnsworth said. "You've got to go out there and pitch when (Chamberlain's) here and when he's not here. My job is to go out there and get people out."
Farnsworth allowed two hits and a run when he came in the game in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to the Red Sox. Last night he said he was staying more relaxed and not rushing as he had in Boston, and throwing his slider with more confidence.
Girardi resisted naming a plug-in substitute for Chamberlain, saying the Yankees will instead rely on matchups and give the ball to whoever is throwing well. The lack of defined roles is just fine with Farnsworth.
"I'm a pitcher, so I'm not a role player," Farnsworth said. "Everybody down there's a pitcher. We're supposed to go out there and get people out when we're called upon."
The Yankees come home now for a series so short it might as well be part of their epic April road swing. Still, Girardi said, after eight consecutive games on the road even two days at Yankee Stadium will be much appreciated.
"It's going to be nice to walk into our stadium," Girardi said. "That's the best thing. It's going to feel like we're going home."

Al Jazeera is doing some of the most innovative journalism in the world. Case in point: Somalia Speaks, the first ever large scale survey of citizen sentiment in that region, and rather than using traditional methods they are collecting data via sms text messages.
Al Jazeera partnered with several organizations to bring the project to life. Middle Eastern classified advertisement NGO Souktel (whom Fast Company has written about before), mapping non-profit Ushahidi (ditto), enterprise crowdsourcing platform Crowdflower (…and ditto again) all contributed to the project, along with another organization called the African Diaspora Institute. Souktel managed the SMS gateway, Ushahidi provided the project's mapping platform and assistance, and Crowdflower is assisting with offering a mechanism for crowdsourced analysis and translation of replies.

TALLADEGA, Alabama - Crowds of fans gathered around the stars of Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners" television show, enjoying the warm weather and even warmer spirits on Saturday at the Aaron's 499 Dream Weekend at Talladega.
Josh Owens and Bootleg Bill (no last name required) met with fans, posed for pictures and signed autographs at the Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine fan zone and cocktail bar. They are unofficial celebrity spokespeople for the distillery located in Gatlinburg.
According to Ole Smokey's master distiller Justin King, coming to Talladega is a natural thing for his company to do.
"I love Talladega, and I love the people," he said. "Everyone's smiling, and it's a great time."
Moonshine is unaged whiskey which goes straight into jars; whiskey, on the other hand, goes into barrels. King said that Ole Smokey produces seasonal flavors and currently has eight such as sweet tea, watermelon, peach, lemon, strawberry and blackberry. The company's bestselling flavor is apple pie.
"I come up with new flavors and make sure everything is up to the level we want," King said.
At Talladega, a special cocktail bar was set up to sell various drinks including the custom Talladega Slammer (apple pie moonshine, cranberry juice and lemon lime soda).
The Discovery Channel website says that the television show "tells the stories of the men and women who keep tradition alive, and make a fortune in the process, distilling illegal whiskey in the back woods of their respective territories."
Ole Smokey and other moonshine distilleries use the same production process, but on a larger and legal level.
Owens had an early career as a professional superbike and motocross racer, so he appreciates the atmosphere of Talladega.
"I love racing, and I love speed," he said. "They say Talladega is the fastest track out here, so I'm loving it."
Neither he nor Bootleg Bill would admit to their favorite racers, instead deferring to the many partisan fans around them.
"We don't want to pick sides," Bootleg Bill said, laughing.

10 'Justice League' members who deserve a shot on the big screen
How many do you recognize?
Red Tornado
Pros: A longtime fan favorite, Red Tornado has a power set not duplicated by any competing member of "The Avengers." A robot, Tornado has the power to control wind and channel it into powerful cyclone blasts from his arms, is extremely fast and has superhuman strength. He's also a DC character that has barely been mined outside of the comic books. He would seem fresh and original to many casual super hero movie fans.
Cons: His origin is cumbersome and might take too long to explain or do, um, justice in a 2 1/2 hour movie. Additionally, Red Tornado is a very powerful hero in the DC universe. If you assume Superman and Green Lantern are part of the League does adding Tornado make the team too powerful? Who could really defeat them?

That's why he spent a long time hugging both senior first baseman Siena Mitman and his daughter/four-year starting catcher Amy immediately after the Highlanders 3-0 WIAA state quarterfinal softball loss to Kenosha Bradford Thursday afternoon at the Goodman Diamond in Madison.
That's because he's going to miss his daughter very much when she goes off to St. Louis University this fall to major in business.
"Much too far away," he said with a laugh in a recent conversation. "I may have to rent an apartment in St. Louis to keep an eye on her."
His wife Pam just rolled her eyes and laughed at the puckish nature of her husband's good-natured, but not very serious threat.
And threats, and the lack of them, were all about why the Highlanders (17-9) Cinderella-run to the state tournament ended so quickly. These were not the Mequon Mashers of last season which smashed people left and right en route to a berth in the state finals.
This was a more spit and bailing wire and true grit kind of unit that was grateful for every run it earned. That's why Coach Keel was so flummoxed at what happened in the second inning of the then scoreless game Thursday.
Outfielder Megan Bailey (who got on base all three times this day, including two walks), launched a light flare of a single to start the inning. That was followed by two pop-up bunts by outfielder Hannah Young and shortstop Laura Podolske that fell in safely amid the Red Devil defenders for base hits.
The bases were loaded with none out, but with the bottom of the Highlander order coming up, Bradford pitcher Ali Brems got motivated. She caught Sami Wolniakowski looking and then got both Andrea Savitch and Emily Sweet swinging to end the threat.
Homestead would get a runner to third in the third inning before a strikeout ended that chance, but following that could get no one beyond first.
"That was the inning (the second)," said Keel. "We had to find a way to plate a run and we couldn't get it done. Give credit to Brems. She got tough and we also helped with some swings that weren't our best."
"We would have liked to have had our one-two-three hitters up at that point, but the kids that went up there gave it their best shots."
And when the Red Devils (26-2), who won their 21st game in a row with the decision, plated two runs on two hits with the help of two walks and a hit batsmen in their half of the second, that's all Brems (10 strikeouts and three walks) would need.
Bradford coach John P. Ruffolo had confidence that Brems could extricate herself from the tight squeeze in the second.
"She's a great pitcher (0.35 ERA on the season) and we knew our best chance to get out of a jam like that was to rely on her," he said. "They hit three in-between balls, a bloop and two bunts. We came up short on them defensively."
"When I went out to talk to her (Brems) I just told her to take them one at a time. She was throwing well and I knew she could pitch to that part of the order."
The third inning Homestead threat consisted of a one-out double by Amy Keel and a two-out walk to Bailey. But another Brems' strikeout ended the opportunity.
Homestead junior Rachel Behnken, the star hurler of the state run last year, who was coming off a back surgery in the off-season, did not pitch badly after that second inning. She got a line-drive doubleplay that was handled niftily by the second baseman Savitch to end one threat in the third and got two pop-ups to end a two-on, one-out situation in the fourth.
She did give up a Bradford insurance run in the fifth, but still finished strong, putting down the last four Red Devil batters in a row. She finished with three strikeouts and four walks.
"I was very proud of her," said Coach Keel of Behnken. "She's done so much for the team this year. She really stepped up to the challenge down the stretch."
And so did Brems, as she put down the last six Homestead batters in a row.
"One of the hallmarks of this team this year is that we always seem to be a mistake or two ahead of our opposition," said Ruffolo. "We're doing that a lot better than we have in the past."
The Southeast Conference champion Red Devils will now look forward to an 8 p.m. Friday night state semifinal against Kenosha County rival Wilmot (24-1), a 10-0 winner over Oconomowoc.

Andy Carroll reckons hard graft and a clean bill of health have paved the way for his purple patch, after collecting the SBOBET Player of the Month award for March.
West Ham United's No8 was presented with his accolade by SBOBET's finance director Raye Wong, prior to Saturday's 2-0 Barclays Premier League win over Wigan Athletic.
While Carroll was rightly thrilled to earn recognition for several fine displays of late, he was similarly quick to point to an outstanding collective effort that has seen the Hammers climb back into the top half.
He told West Ham TV: "It's obviously great, I've been working hard this month and I've got the award to show for it. All the lads have worked hard, got the results and we're on a good run at the minute.
"I just needed to keep myself fit and performances would start coming, as they have been. I've been scoring goals and creating goals and it has been a great month."
The Liverpool loanee played another vital hand in the weekend win over Wigan, not least by setting up his colleague and friend Kevin Nolan to settle the contest with a crucial second goal. It was an exquisite finish from the Hammers skipper, but nothing more than Carroll expects from his former Newcastle United teammate.
He added: "It was a great ball straight up from James Collins, I just knocked it on for Kevin and it was a great finish from him to get his 100th goal. That's what he thrives on, balls in the box like that. Anything around the box or the goalkeeper, he's going to put the ball in the back of the net for you, as he did on Saturday."Our finishing has been on form at the minute and we knew as soon as we got a chance we'd put it away."
While Carroll and co are certainly producing the goods in front of goal, Saturday's success owed just as much, if not more, to another immaculate rear-guard action.
"We knew they were going to pass it around and we just had to sit back and obviously defend as we did and we did it really well.
The defence has been great. Jussi [Jaaskelainen] has kept us in a lot of games in the last couple of months. He has made some tremendous saves and there were another couple on Saturday that kept them from scoring. So the defence worked really well and it showed with the clean sheet."
As for the season's final four games, Carroll is pinning his hopes on scoring the goals to fire the Hammers to a top-ten Barclays Premier League finish.
"Confidence is sky high at the minute and it showed again against Wigan. We're more or less safe and we just want to get into the top half. We're pushing on really strong to get that position.
"Obviously I want more goals but top goalscorer is not really an issue for me and I don't think it is for Kevin either, just a couple more goals will be good."

Law Professor Picked to Lead National Women's Legal Organization
A law professor at Oklahoma City University was elected chairwoman of the American Association of Law Schools' (AALS) section on Women in Legal Education.
Danne L. Johnson, associate professor of law, was elected to the position during the AALS annual meeting held this month in San Francisco.
The organization's Women in Legal Education section is the largest in the AALS with more than 1,700 members. Its purpose includes providing information to members about integrating women and women's concerns into the legal profession, and to make curriculum recommendations to law school administrators while encouraging them to help more women earn their law degrees.
Johnson's primary expertise is in Federal Securities law. She worked for six years in the enforcement division at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in New York City before becoming an attorney for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. She has been a professor at OCU since 2003. She earned her juris doctorate at George Washington University.
The AALS, formed in 1900, is a nonprofit educational association of 171 law schools representing more than 10,000 law faculty members in the United States. It seeks to improve the legal profession via improvements in legal education.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Alabama - Authorities say a 16-year-old Ensley girl opened fire on a car in a feud over missing heroin and cash.
Jefferson County sheriff's officials on Monday announced charges against Jacorria McDaniel. She is being charged as an adult. The charges against her are: three counts of attempted murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and shooting into an unoccupied building.
Chief Deputy Randy Christian gave this account of what happened: Deputies on Saturday, Feb. 8, were dispatched to the Edgewater community on a report of shots fired in the 7400 block of Canada Avenue. When they got on the scene, they spoke to witnesses and the victims.
One of the victim's told deputies that three of the were riding in a car along Canada Avenue when their cousin's girlfriend opened fire on them with a handgun. They said there was an ongoing feud because the cousin believed they had stolen heroin and cash from them. No one was injured in the shooting.
The victims gave deputies the address of the home where they had seen McDaniel. Deputies went there, found her and questioned her. During the interview, McDaniel admitted to shooting at the car as it drove by. She told detectives she had hidden the gun after the shooting.
Warrants were issued for her on Feb. 20. Deputies took her into custody Feb. 21. McDaniel is being held in the Jefferson County Jail with bonds totaling $235,000.
a sad statement that we have a 16-year-old girl not only involved in all of
this, but arrested and sitting in jail for attempted murder,'' Christian said. "She is a kid acting
like thug and the only future in that is prison or an early end to a young
life. That's pretty sad."

Hours at numerous Bradford County post offices reduced
MONROETON – Athens postmaster Russell Kerlin told eight residents at a public meeting July 22 in Monroeton that the hours for their post office are going to be reduced.
It is likely that Monroeton's post office now will be open six hours each weekday, instead of eight, and that the post office would be closed two hours each day for lunch, he said. Saturday hours would remain unchanged.
A final schedule of the Monroeton post office's hours will be posted by this week at the post office, he said.
A similar scenario is occurring this year for customers of many other post offices in Bradford County.
The United States Postal Service recently reduced, or is planning to reduce, the hours at numerous post offices in Bradford County, including New Albany, Burlington, East Smithfield, Ulster, Milan, Gillett, Columbia Cross Roads, Sylvania, Granville Summit, Stevensville and Warren Center, Kerlin said in an interview after the public meeting. The reduction in hours at the affected post offices is scheduled to go into effect by Jan. 9, 2015, he said.
"The U.S. Postal Service, like many businesses, is facing serious financial challenges," Kerlin said at the public meeting, explaining the planned reduction in hours. "The U.S. Postal Service is non-tax supported, so all the money needed to collect, transport, and deliver mail comes from the sale of stamps and other postal products."
There is much less revenue being brought in to operate the post offices, since people use the Internet extensively and are relying less on the U.S. mail to pay bills, send greetings and otherwise communicate with each other, he said.
The U.S. Postal Service is not planning to close any post offices in Bradford County, and is not planning to make any changes at this time to the delivery of mail to Bradford County residents' homes, Kerlin said.
The Postal Service has no plans to reduce the hours of the post offices in certain communities in Bradford County, including Towanda, Sayre, Athens Borough, Troy, Rome, Wyalusing and Wysox, he said.
At the Monroeton meeting, Kerlin said that about four weeks ago, the Postal Service mailed 785 surveys to residents served by the Monroeton post office, which asked them to choose one of four options for the future of their post office.
A total of 263 of the surveys were returned, he said.
The options were:
Keep the post office open, but have it open six hours a day, instead of eight;
Close the post office, and those who were served by its post office boxes would have their mail delivered at home;
Close the post office, and open a post office locally that would be operated by a contractor, which would usually be a business;
Close the post office, and move its post office boxes to a nearby post office.
Ninety percent of those who answered the survey chose the option of keeping the post office open, with reduced hours, Kerlin said.
After reviewing the results of the survey, the U.S. Postal Service has decided that the new hours for Monroeton's post office likely will be 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Monday through Friday, Kerlin said. The post office would be closed for lunch from 12:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., Kerlin said. The post office would continue to be open on Saturdays until 11 a.m.
When the Monroeton post office is closed for lunch, local residents could use the Towanda post office, which does not close for lunch, Kerlin said.
One resident suggested that alterations be made inside the Monroeton post office to separate the area where the post office boxes are located from the rest of the post office. That would allow the public to access their post office boxes when the rest of the post office was shut down for lunch, the resident said.
Kerlin said he would pass along the suggestion to others at the Postal Service.
"It would not be very expensive" to make the alterations, Kerlin added.

It's no news that we live in a financially chaotic world where every individual is constantly on a quest to amass wealth to a very great extent despite their present state of comfort. Thus man is truly insatiable. This makes money seem more like sea water; the more you drink it, the thirstier you become.
While the inward strength of a man seems less defensive for him to survive in this spontaneous world, he may resort to fix his mind on quick but unexamined ways he can explore to gain riches without having what it takes to qualify for riches.
This world operates on a nothing-for-nothing principle. You've got to give out something to gain something. This is the whole secret to attaining that wealthy life you desire.
The entire trip to the destination of wealth is largely dependent on a single question—what can you give in exchange for wealth? Your answer to the question will tell if you can embark on the trip and successfully accomplish it, or tell if you can embark on the trip and just crash on the way.
What you can give in exchange for riches starts with the possession of a principal quality which is the recognition of the value of money to the last dot. You've got to know the worth of one dollar if you want to make millions of dollars. Recognizing the value of money will help you to build a habit of personal and business budgeting, and conversely eliminate the attitude of wastefulness.
Subsequent to the recognition of the value of money is passion. Where there is no passion, there will be passivity (deadness). Passion for what you do is like the fertilizer applied on crops. It gives you more achievements quicker than expected, and opens doors for more developments. The growth of your wealth lies more on the passion you have for what you do.
The last offer to give in exchange for wealth is the quality of hardworking. The Bible states it clearly that there is no food for lazy man. If you are lazy, you won't have food to feed your hungry stomach, let alone possessing riches. Being hardworking is the major source of energy for your pursuit of wealth.
The trip to wealth is ultimately an exciting trip if its ideology is well sunk in your mind and continually practised as you live everyday life.

|[CQ-Contest] RTTY WPX and NA Sprint CW this weekend
|email@example.com (Leigh S. Jones, KR6X)
|Fri Feb 8 14:21:27 2002
This one is not a bad suggestion. In fact, it might actually make sense to abandon the old frequency plan for the sprint -- probably derived from the old CD parties (3535+/-,7035+/-,14035+/-) -- in favor of 3500-3535, 7000-7035, 14000-14035. The present activity seems to run between 10 and 50 KHz up from the band edge (higher on 20 and 80 meters). But it's too late to do that for this year's contest, and there's some chance that there'd be an outcry from low-end DXers who aren't willing to share "their" frequencies with contesters... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Subich, K4IK" <email@example.com> To: "Dave Pruett" <firstname.lastname@example.com>; <email@example.com> Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 12:09 Subject: RE: [CQ-Contest] RTTY WPX and NA Sprint CW this weekend > > > > So the argument of who was there first has no winner - both contests > > arrived on that weekend the same year. > > > > The slams against the NCJ concerning this issue are unfounded. > > > > Of course the two events have not always been the same weekend (1997 > and 1998) It is still bad form to put the "suggested operating > frequencies" for a domestic (or North American) contest right on top > of the only available spectrum for an international contest. > > NCJ could easily respect the IARU Region 1 and region 3 bandplans > and post suggested operating frequencies of 7050-7070 or "7035 and > down." > > > -- > CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ > Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com > -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com

KEDA director off to fast start
The new director of the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance (KEDA) reported for duty on Monday, immediately jumping on a treadmill of introductory meetings with local business and government leaders.
My expectations of the job have already been confirmed, said William Stewart, that it will be challenging and fun. I expect to do a lot of listening over the next few weeks, to learn about different priorities and perspectives.
KEDA operated for nearly two years without a director, during which time the agency was headed by Interim Director Kathy Cocus, who did not seek the job permanently.
Cocus, who was business recruitment and retention director under former Director David Porter, said her future role has yet to be determined. We will wait until we are all here before defining how we will all work together, she said.
Economic progress has not stopped during this time, however. The Kitsap 20/20 plan for economic development was developed and refined, setting future direction.
Stewart said much of his job will be the implementation of those recommendations, with specifics yet to be determined.
Stewart is currently scheduling individual meetings with each of the 18 KEDA board members, and will also meet with local elected officials and department heads.
He also expects to make some large-group appearances, although they have not yet been scheduled.
Each board member will have their individual perspectives, Stewart said. This depends on where they live and who they represent. This kind of discussion is best done one-on-one.
The meeting schedule will be spread over the next month or so with some days containing up to five meetings, Stewart said.
His guiding principles are outlined by Kitsap 20/20, a list of guidelines for bringing jobs to the region.
The vision of Kitsap 20/20 is pretty clear, Stewart said. We just arent sure about the tactical pieces and how we are going to leverage the work between our partners and other entities.
Stewart, 59, plans to keep his Seattle residence for the time being and commute to work on the Bremerton ferry.
He said his living in Seattle for the time being does not lessen his commitment to the job.

With that thought in mind, here's yet another array illustrating how locals are spending the dog days of summer — so named because of the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun, was responsible for the hot weather.
And we'd be willing to bet that you'll recognize at least one familiar face among the selection.
Happy birthday today to Jim Waggoner, Leigh Ann Shea, Anne Marie Briguglio, Courtney Hughes Noone, Ashley Holt, John Crowley Sr., Frank Giovinazzo, Saverio Costa, David Grynsztajn, Maureen Sohmer and Vincent Cinquemani.

ANN ARBOR -- For the second straight year, John Beilein will head to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., for the NBA draft.
It will be next Thursday. Nik Stauskas, the former Michigan star, has offered his former coach a seat at his table in the green room. So Beilein will sit and smile, sharing the moment with Stauskas and his family.
Eventually, NBA commissioner Adam Silver will call for Stauskas. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard won't have to wait too long. Stauskas is likely to be picked anywhere from No. 8 to No. 14. And with that, he'll become the third player in two years to leave Michigan early and land as a first-round selection in the NBA draft.
Later on that same night, Glenn Robinson III could become the fourth; then Mitch McGary could become the fifth.
If it all goes down like that next Thursday, Michigan will have produced more first round picks in 2013 and 2014 than it did combined from 1994 to 2012.
But whether Robinson and McGary join Stauskas in the first round or fall to the second round, they're (nearly) certain to become the fourth and fifth Wolverines drafted in the last two years. A year ago, it was Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. who were selected No. 9 and No. 24 overall.
If you're keeping track, that's every starting player from Michigan's 2013 Final Four team. None saw his senior year in Ann Arbor. Only Hardaway played as a junior.
That kind of turnover can change a program's perception. And that, when it comes to how future Michigan players view the school, is what Beilein is trying to avoid.
"It's good for recruiting but we certainly don't want young men coming in here thinking that this is ... ," Beilein cut himself off there during a Friday afternoon radio interview with "The Huge Show" host Bill Simonson.
After a pause, he continued ... "We want Michigan to be a destination for them -- not that we're renting them for a couple of years."
Of the U-M players drafted last year and projected to be taken this year, only McGary was considered an elite-level prep prospect. These weren't anticipated one-and-done talents in the mold of Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker. They were mid-to-high level recruits who blossomed.
Next year it could be Caris LeVert's turn. A relative unknown out of high school, the U-M junior guard is a projected lottery pick in the 2015 draft.
"All of these guys that have gone to the NBA, they came in here with the idea: I'm going to Michigan. I'm going to be there four years. I'm unpacking my bags. I'm going to make the most of it ," Beilein said.
That, though, is a good problem to have.
Four of the seven 2016 recruits Michigan has extended scholarship offers to are rated in the top 40 of the 247 Sports Composite ranking -- Gladstone, N.J., shooting guard Tyus Battle (No. 11); El Cajon, Calif., forward T.J. Leaf (No. 17); Chatsworth, Calif., point guard Derryck Thornton Jr. (No. 19) and Detroit point guard Cassius Winston (No. 31).
The interest is mutual. Each player has referred to Michigan's new-found knack for developing pros as a key selling point.
Beilein said Friday that he's noticed a "growing interest" in Michigan in recent years. That level of the recruiting is the payoff.
"We don't approach it any differently, I know that," Beilein said. "I'm sure we have more interest than we did before, given the success of Tim and Trey before, but interest is one thing, while getting those young men to come to Michigan is another one."

|[TowerTalk] Rhombic Terminating Resistor
|firstname.lastname@example.com (John & Margaret Weatherley)
|Thu, 24 Jan 2002 08:27:58 -0500
I have a Barker and Williamson Model BN-1, 600 ohm terminating unit available. It is the same as is used to terminate Rhombic antennas and was also used by B&W on their high power broad band HF antenna where they called it a "Balancing Network". It's a big 600 ohm dummy load! It is designed for 2 Kw continuous and 5 Kw Intermittent use over the entire HF band. It is housed in a weather proof fiber glass cabinet 32 inches high and 12 x 15 inches square. Connections are via two large ceramic feedthroughs with stainless steel hardware. Mounting brackets are included for wall or similar mounting. I know the entire history of this unit since new and it has never been used at more than a few hundred watts PEP and only was installed for a few months in a dry desert environment. It is therefore in excellent condition. It has been in dry storage for a couple of years and is in near new condition. B&W listed this for $1,470.50 and only recently dropped it from there catalog. I will sell it for $100 plus shipping at cost. UPS will cost around $50 depending on distance from Central Florida. It weighs 27 pounds excl. packing. I will find packing material and pack at no charge.

Well, it's that time of year again. While every corporate blogger waits for their employer to release last year's earning report, we are forced to find other things to write about that comply within [corporate "black-out" rules].
In the past, I used this black-out period to publish my [New Year's Resolutions] in this blog. In 2010, I took a different approach. I decided NOT to publicize my resolutions to see if that allowed me to stick to them better. Derek Sivers cites research recommending you should [Keep your Goals to Yourself]. For a bit of nostalgia, here is a [recap of my previous resolutions].
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."
-- Albert Einstein
In addition to being a technical consultant for IBM, I am also a certified yoga instructor with formal training. Back in 2004, I co-founded the Tucson Laughter Club, based on [Hasya yoga], a form of yoga that incorporates breathing, stretching and laughter exercises. The two jobs are actually similar, in which I am standing in front of a group of people, telling them what to do and how to do it.
January is the month where gyms and yoga classes are filled with new students who have made New Year's Resolutions. Every time I am asked "What should I do to lose weight, get fit, and sleep better?"
(Note: I am neither a medical doctor nor registered dietician. I can share with you ideas that have worked for me (or my yoga students) that might help you achieve your goals. I strongly suggest you read books and consult with medical experts as necessary.)
I always tell them the same answer. But first, I make them promise they won't share the secret with anyone, and that I will whisper it in their ear. After I get their nod of agreement, I whisper "Eat Less and Exercise More."
I get the same quizzical look every time. The response is typically "That's your big secret? Everyone knows that!" If that's true, why are nearly a third of all Americans obese, out-of-shape, and/or sleep-deprived? The answer is the knowing-doing gap.
Jeff Pfeffer and Bob Sutton explain this concept in their book [The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge into Action]. I have read this book, and highly recommend it. People know what they need to do, but are not doing it. If you don't have time to read the book, here is an [8-page summary] from Harvard Business School Press.
While the book is focused on why businesses fail to achieve their goals, I think many of the principles apply to individuals trying to reach their health goals:
- Understand "Why" before "How". People are quick to follow process and procedures, rather than understanding the underylying biology, chemistry, or physiology.
- Knowing comes from doing and teaching others. Learning is best done by trying a lot things, learning from what works and what does not, thinking about what was learned, and trying again.
- Actions speaks louder than words, thoughts, and elegant plans. Without taking some action, learning is more difficult and less efficient because it is not grounded in real experience. When I was in Japan, one of the employees told me their boss was NATO, which stood for "No Action, Talk Only!"
- There is no doing without mistakes. In building a culture of action, one of the most critical elements is how you treat yourself when
things go wrong. Even well planned actions can go wrong. All learning involves some failure, something from which one can continue to learn.
- Fear fosters knowing-doing gaps, so drive out fear. Do you fear making mistakes? Do you fear success? Do you fear people will make fun of you for trying something outside your comfort zone? Drive out that fear!
- Measure what matters and what can help turn knowledge into action. Peter Drucker is often quoted as saying "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it!" The trick is to figure out which measurements lead to corrective actions.
If you have problems keeping any of your New Year's Resolutions, try to figure out why. Is it because you didn't know what to do? Or, more likely, you know what you needed to do, but didn't do it? Feel free to enter your comments below!

At 12:01 a.m. Wednesday morning, the Jax Brewery parking lot off Decatur Street was a flurry of activity. Two minutes before, like most of the street at that time of night, it had been almost completely empty.
Work started early for the ESPN crew, who took occupancy of the parking lot at midnight and will spend the week putting the set together. Starting Monday, ESPN will broadcast live from New Orleans all week leading up to Super Bowl 2013.
When all is complete, the site will hold two sets, a demonstration field, 26 cameras (including one on Bourbon Street and an aerial flycam), two jumbrotrons. And it all runs from two production trucks named Larkspur and Justice.
The reasoning behind the names is unclear, but the trucks are the heart of the operation. Inside, where each camera has its own television screen, a small army of people control everything that shows up on viewers screens at home.
Seven generators run the lot, each with the capacity to power a house.
ESPN's Super Bowl coverage, which will include broadcasting more than 120 hours of live programming, is a massive undertaking that started in November 2011. ESPN coordinating director Mike Feinberg scouted out locations and visited New Orleans five times while working on production for Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.
Feinberg lives in Bristol, Conn., and isn't on the road too often for work, but the Super Bowl is his big project. He's been in his position since 2003, and there isn't much he hasn't seen in his years on the job.
Feinberg said ESPN ultimately chose the Jax site because of its ground level location, allowing for a lot of foot traffic. When they set up in Pan Am Plaza in Indianapolis, it was a logistics challenge because the plaza is raised. All the pieces of the stages had to be brought in with a crane.
A flat location will allow for more foot traffic. The crowd is key, he said.
When ESPN came to New Orleans for Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002, they set up at the Creole Queen site on the Riverwalk. Eleven years later, that wouldn't be possible
"We only had one set back then," Feinberg said.
By Wednesday afternoon, all of the stages had been set up in the parking lot except for the demonstration field and the crew had multiplied.
"Organized chaos," Feinberg described it, as he walked through the set, stepping over twisting cables and around lights waiting to be installed. "It's not fun if it goes smoothly."
And that's not always the case, he said, citing Dallas in 2011, when a massive storm dropped temperatures and dumped ice and snow into the area right before the Super Bowl.
"The storm of the century hit Texas," he said.
Nothing ever goes completely smoothly, so Feinberg tries to foresee problems before they occur.
"It's live television," he said. "You only have one chance to get it right."
Everything on the site has to be accounted for, from the color of the stage awnings (if they didn't match the stage roof, then the overhead blimp camera would pick it up), to a renovated hotel across the street that still had plywood on the doors. The plywood needed to be painted or removed, lest it be an eyesore in the shot.
Feinberg pointed out some unsightly trees in front of the main stage that will need to be trimmed, or possibly taken out and replanted after the week.
"It's all about attention to detail," Feinberg said. "If you mess that up, it'll show on TV."
As Feinberg walked around the lot, he was inundated with questions about all topics: measurements, camera angles, lighting.
"I'm pulled in all different directions," he said. "I kind of have to be a jack of all trades."
So what does Feinberg do once the construction is complete and ESPN is broadcasting?
He along with operations manager Carlton Young and and senior coordinating producer Seth Markman will keep the party going smoothly for the next week.
For Feinberg, that means answering phone calls from Bristol, talking to the Super Bowl Host Committee, or checking in on the directors, to name just a few things.
"Basically I run around like a lunatic," he said.
The main goal is to get that "iconic shot" and ultimately make New Orleans come across in the best light possible.
"We want to make our host city look good," Feinberg said. "If the city looks good, we look good."
By Thursday afternoon, with the stages set, everything was beginning to look as it will on Saturday, when they have to be "show ready" in anticipation of next week.
"48 hours ago this was an empty parking lot," Feinberg said. "Look at it now."

The family lived in San Diego until July 2008 when they moved back to Miles City. With all the years of school, training, and instructing technology, Randy looked forward to providing a wide array of services to Eastern Montana businesses and individuals. Randy was able t o put his skills to work by starting Eye In The Sky Photography and Computer Services along with surfmilescity.com.

Wine columnist for The Oregonian's FOODday and MIX magazine

Owner of Cork -- A Bottle Shop

Freelance wine writer
Grant Butler
Writer for The Oregonian's FOODday and MIX magazine
From Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, the holiday season offers many opportunities for gathering around the table for celebrations with family and friends. Often, dishes with robust flavors are at the heart of those feasts, and finding the right wine can be tricky. For instance, conventional wisdom has it that a light-bodied pinot noir is a perfect match for roast turkey with all the trimmings. But less-traditional pairings like riesling and viognier are surprisingly good fits.
So we asked our panel of experts to come up with their ideal bottles to go with three kinds of classic holiday fare -- roast turkey, crown roast of pork and prime rib. Our panel is Katherine Cole, wine columnist for FOODday and MIX magazine; Darryl Joannides, owner of Cork -- A Bottle Shop and a former member of the MIX magazine wine panel; and Kyle O'Brien, a freelance wine writer. And because not everyone eats meat, we asked Grant Butler, who writes FOODday's Going Vegan column and is a member of the MIX wine panel, to choose wines that will go well with the vegetable side dishes that turn up on holiday menus.
2008 Et Fille Yamhill-Carlton District DeuxVert Vineyard Viognier ($24): Smoked or brined turkey meat stands out when it's counterbalanced by a refreshing and slightly sweet white wine. Contrasted against flavors of fumée andsel, (smoked trout would be brilliant, too), this cool-climate viognier pops with vitality. It has just enough alcohol to stand up to stick-to-your-ribs sides such as mashed potatoes, but isn't over-the-top hot in the way that viognier often is. With notes of juicy ripe peach and tropical fruits tempered by undercurrents of fresh herbs, tea leaves and ginger, it's elegant yet succulent, balancing the divide between fresh and rich. -- Katherine Cole
2009 Big Table Farm Brooks Vineyard Riesling ($28): I always enjoy having a richer-style white wine on the table for Thanksgiving, as it seems to pair well with all of the side dishes but, more important, really allows the turkey itself to shine. One of the best white releases I've tasted from Oregon is this bottle of bone-dry riesling from Big Table Farm. Frankly, they had me with the gorgeous chanterelle drawing on the label, but I really wasn't prepared for what was inside the bottle. Winemaker Brian Marcy likes to push the envelope with his winemaking. By using long maceration on the skins, he's extracted amber colors and textures that those enamored by off-beat whites might appreciate. But the wine isn't oxidized, even if it tends toward an orange hue. It offers hazelnut and pine, apricot and honey. There must be some magic in those Eola-Amity hills adjacent to the Brooks winery, where the old-vine fruit for this bottling was procured. -- Darryl Joannides
2008 Coelho Apreciacao Chardonnay ($19): Amity's Coelho family looks to its Portuguese roots to make its wines, and they get Portuguese varietals from California for some reds, but this delicious estate chardonnay is all Oregon. There's just a hint of oak to add a buttery finish, though it's the fruit that shines -- apricot, tropical fruit and apple, along with a floral nose that makes this a winner with chicken or white meat turkey, or pastas with light cream sauces. Pop it open before dinner and serve with hard cheeses and crackers. It's leaner than the oak bombs from California, and that's a good thing for food lovers. -- Kyle O'Brien
2007 Andrew Rich Tabula Rasa Red ($18): Local red blending hero Andrew Rich showcases the excellent quality of the 2007 vintage in Washington with this Rhone blend. It's a perfect fruit-forward bottle to enjoy with that crown roast on the holiday table, especially if you're opting for a more meaty version of lamb or veal for the roast. The blend is grenache, syrah, mourvedre and counoise, with fruit coming mostly from Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills. The Tabula Rasa wines are always a good value, but this new vintage release is a particularly great bottling, so go find it and share it with your family this holiday. --Darryl Joannides
2008 Abacela Garnacha ($21): Abacela has been doing uniquely Oregon-style Spanish varietals since the mid'90s, and this delicious light red is no exception. Tart fruit and firm tannic structure are balanced with elements of ripe plum, berries, a citrus overtone and just a hint of herbal spice. If lamb is on your menu, this will complement it well. This garancha (grenache in French) bottling took home the gold medal at the Rogue Valley's 2010 World of Wine Festival. -- Kyle O'Brien
2008 Lemelson Thea's Selection Pinot Noir ($31.50): Eric Lemelson has been providing the Northwest with excellent quality pinot noir for a long time now, and winemaker Anthony King seems to really have hit his stride with the 2008 vintage. The Thea's Selection is what I think of as the winery's reserve pinot noir bottling. With the warmer 2008 vintage giving off some darker cherry and huckleberry flavors, plus a meaty quality on the finish, this wine should hold up well to the fatty character of a slow-roasted prime rib. Fermented with all wild yeasts and coming in at a restrained alcohol level of 13.5 percent, this wine will add nicely to the classic flavors on the holiday table. -- Darryl Joannides
2007 The Pines 1852 Big Red ($20): A big blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah and zinfandel, this aptly named wine is perfect for those who like their meals red -- as in red meat. It's hearty and full, with notes of berry, bramble and a touch of pepper from the zin that makes it a superb fit for roasts and steaks. The blend is a nice intro price point to this historic Columbia Gorge vineyard and winery, most known for its old vine zinfandel. -- Kyle O'Brien
2008 Misty Oaks Vineyard Jones Road Cabernet Franc ($28): Think of this as southern Oregon's answer to those full-bodied cabernet francs that come out of eastern Washington these days. There's plenty of blackberry and spice on the nose, with undertones of oak to make it stand up to dishes with richness and heat, such as an Indian yellow curry. But because it doesn't go overboard with tannins, this Umpqua Valley red won't overpower subtler fare like eggplant roasted with herbs. -- Grant Butler
2009 Domaine Drouhin Chardonnay Arthur ($30): If you're part of the "anything but chardonnay" crowd, chances are you've been turned off by over-oaked wines that are typical of the California style, where vintages might be entirely aged in oak barrels, or with oak chips in less-expensive bottlings. This beautiful wine takes a subtler approach, with only half of the wine fermented in oak, and the rest in stainless steel. The result is a more delicate wine with a balance of floral and buttery notes, making it ideal with a salad loaded with pear slices, or even a baked apple dessert. Yes, $30 is a lot to spend on a bottle of chardonnay, but it's the holidays, so treat yourself to a splurge. -- Grant Butler
2008 A to Z Pinot Noir ($20): One of Oregon's most-reliable producers of affordable pinot noir is Dundee's A to Z Wineworks, and their 2008 vintage may be their finest yet. It's a gorgeously rounded, lighter-bodied wine, with lots of fruit notes on the palate, including strawberry, dark cherries and cranberry. It's also light on tannins so there's a soft finish, which makes it a good choice with roasted portobello mushrooms or braised brussels sprouts and root vegetables. -- Grant Butler

Lavena Village - Ravilevu Nature Reserve - Tobu Vei Tui Falls
This trip can be done in combination with the Bouma Falls trip or on its own. Past Bouma Falls you travel by taxi for a further 30 minutes to Lavena, one of the most picturesque villages on the island.
Lavena also features one of the most beautiful beaches of Taveuni. White sand and crystal clear water make this an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and picnicking.
As with all other places you visit, please remember you are guests on someone else's property! A well formed track takes you from Lavena Village along the coast, either along the beaches or on the forest track.
For the adventuresome, there is a 5km walking path to the Tobu Vei Tui falls. This further walk takes about one and a half hours of which the last 20-30 minutes is up a creek bed (Wainabau River). Depending on weather, this could entail scrambling, wading or even swimming. The falls are spectacular and you can easily spend a whole day on this trip. You may arrange for a picnic lunch (please ask the restaurant the evening before), and you may want to bring your water bottle, snorkel gear, swimsuit, water shoes, sun block and a hat!
Travel to the far northeast end of Taveuni to Lavena, one of the most picturesque villages on the island. At Lavena village you can see how a traditional village operates, meet some of the villagers and perhaps the Village Chief.
Lavena also features one of the most beautiful beaches on Taveuni. This beach, with its spectacular white sand and crystal clear water, was featured in the movie "Return of the Blue Lagoon". It is an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling and picnicking. From there, take a 3 mile (5 km) graded walking path to the Tobu Vei Tui falls. The walk takes about one and a half hours of which the last 30 minutes is up a creek bed. The falls are spectacular and if you're lucky, your Fijian guide will show you how to jump off the face of the cliff into the pool below.

Sparks fly at Tinder over 'sex harassment' messages
From left: Mateen, Wolfe and Rad
Dating app Tinder is being sued for sexual harassment and discrimination after the company's former marketing head claimed that two executives - both of Iranian-Jewish descent - mistreated her.
Whitney Wolfe claimed that chief marketing officer Justin Mateen started sending her abusive text messages after her romance with him turned sour. She also alleges that chief executive Sean Rad ignored her when she reported the problem to him.
She claimed that Mr Mateen publicly called her a "desperate loser" and told colleagues she was an alcoholic - and that she was called "dramatic or emotional girl" by Mr Rad when she complained. Ms Wolfe resigned in April.
Co-defendant InterActiveCorp [IAC], which owns a majority stake in the Los Angeles-based company, told the BBC that Mr Mateen had been suspended and that they were investigating.
IAC added: "We condemn these messages, but believe that Ms Wolfe's allegations with respect to Tinder and its management are unfounded."
