Monmouth County Democrats are experiencing a youth movement.
With an already fresh-faced chairman in 26-year-old Vin Gopal, Monmouth Democrats are now under the executive leadership of 22-year-old Joseph Libutti after a changing of the guard Tuesday.
Giuseppe "Joe" Grillo steped down as executive director of the Monmouth County Democrats after 16 months and two election cycles.
Grillo touted his work growing party membership and balancing its books in an e-mail to membership Tuesday afternoon.
"One of our primary tasks was to get our financial house in order," Grillo said. "We knew that it would take time and would require long-term sacrifice. After 16 months of belt-tightening and cost-cutting, I am proud to report that the county party is solvent and debt-free."
Though Democrats made inroads in consistently Republican areas along the Raritan Bayshore and in western Monmouth County, they remained shut out of state legislative seats and county government under Grillo's watch.
"I'm proud that, after two election cycles, we have increased the amount of elected Democrats," Grillo said. "Most importantly, we are better poised now than ever before to win more seats, both locally and countywide, in the coming years."
Grillo, 36, handed the reins over to Libutti of Red Bank.
Over the past four years, Libutti has risen through the county Democratic ranks from an intern.
He studied political science and government at Pace University and Rowan University, then worked on the unsuccessful legislative campaigns of two Neptune Democrats, Dr. Michael Brantley and Kevin McMillan.

A famous ltalian humanist and collector of Greek manuscripts, born about 1369 at Noto, in Sicily ; died at Ferrara in 1459. It is not known where he first studied. In 1418 he went to Constantinople to learn Greek and to collect codices. So industrious was he that he was accused to the Greek emperor of despoiling the city of books. He returned to Venice in 1423 with 238 volumes of classical authors, purchased at Constantinople. Among his treasures were the celebrated "Codex Laurentianus" (seven plays of Sophocles, six of Æschylus, Apollonius's "Argonautica") of the tenth century, the Iliad, Demosthenes, Plato, Xenophon, etc. The next year Aurispa went to Bologna, where he became professor of Greek at the university. As a teacher he was not very successful. Thence he was invited to Florence, where he also held the chair of Greek. Later he went to Ferrara. In 1441 he was appointed secretary to Pope Eugene IV . Six years later Pope Nicholas V reappointed him to the same post. Besides being a tireless collector of manuscripts, Aurispa was a poet of some merit. His published works include letters, epigrams, and an elegy.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

PHOTOS: Designer Richard Dayhoff Puts Models In Eco-Friendly Undies. Mother Nature Would Approve
Richard Dayhoff makes underwear, but not just the kind you lounge around in. He's designing for dudes who work out and want their briefs to be functional and still sexy.
Call it hot couture.
"A lot of people who run or work out, they need fabrics to do something—so that when you sweat the perspiration's lifted up. Or the [fabric] keeps its shape or it lasts longer because of the dye in it," says the 20-year fashion-industry veteran. "My fabric is a unique because our chemist studied the way water moves through the stalk of a plant. A drop of perspiration moves through the fabric so it's quick-dry."
We not so sure—these images of models in his designs are making us pretty wet.
ok, I understand underwear models are meant to be hot and all.. but if these are pics to advertise his underwear brand… well… bad colour choice, and bad poses. The pics look like they're there to advertise the models, not the (tiny bit of) clothes they are wearing.
@Ian: not your screen, I seeing it too.
Like the furry muscle daddy next to him. Woof!!

By Sharna Johnson: Freedom New Mexico
While economists are declaring the recession nearly over, two Portales business people said the town seems somewhat insulated from the national economic peaks and dips.
More than 80 percent of economists believe the recession is over and an expansion has begun, but they expect the recovery will be slow as worries over unemployment and high federal debt persist.
Megan Hamilton said in recent months, business has held steady at Trader Horn's True Value, where she is employed.
"I don't know that it ever really got bad for us," she said. "We did see things slow a little, but we didn't see a drop, it just wasn't accelerated growth."
Hamilton said Portales seems to be insulated to some extent from the economic problems seen in larger cities.
"We don't see the big highs, but we don't see the big lows either," she said.
Danny "Woody" Woodward of Woody's Jewelry said Portales is affected by the national economy, but less than some places are. In fact, he said Portales may have the opposite situation of the national business outlook.
Woody's Jewelry had a good summer. Although Woodward said he's heard local business is slow in some areas, he pointed out that four new businesses started downtown and two relocated there recently.
"Whether the media's talking about how bad it is or not, we've got some positives in this area," Woodward said.
In Clovis, Community Development Director Claire Burroughes said that city has been "maintaining" through the recession, with GRTs, a percentage of tax collected from local retail and services, neither rising nor dropping in recent months.
Tabulated monthly, GRTs are a factor in evaluating the status of the local economic landscape.
"It's not down, it's not up, and it's been that way for three or four months (and) it hasn't gone down yet," Burroughes said.
The economic consensus comes from leading forecasters in a survey by the National Association for Business Economics released Monday.
The forecasters upgraded the economic outlook for the next several quarters, but cautioned that unemployment rates and the federal deficit are expected to remain high through the next year.
The national housing recovery is one bright spot in economic predictions.
Portales is seeing housing growth, with one developer intending to build houses on at least 15 lots in the Baca subdivision, and another designing a planned community near Portales Country Club.
Burroughes said housing growth is on the horizon for Clovis as well, especially with growth at Cannon.
"We're getting a lot of subdivisions coming in and people looking at constructing in the community," she said.
Clovis businesses reported a range of economic situations, from seeing growth to still feeling a slump.

I personal Hold the Presque Isle Township board accountable for what's going on
the Presque Isle Township fire services.
1. The township supervisor should not a member of fire department. It's a conflict of interest.
2. The both fire departments should be township fire department and not a nonprofit 501(c)3.
3. Why isn't the Township or it citizens worried about fire and EMS response times?
Why aren't township or it citizens worried about ISO insurance ratings?
I am seriously thinking of sale my house in Presque Isle Township because the Township board dose not take this issue seriously.
Why is the Presque Isle Township board paying $7,000 a month to Alpena Township, When we can run our owe fire departments on that money?

The answer came in four photographs of multi-bed bedrooms, ranging from rustic to sophisticated.
It reminded me of a Homes & Gardens of the Northwest story from a few years back about a blended family's beachhouse retreat in Gearhart, which included a pretty cool eight-bed room for the kids. The bunkhouse took up half of the house's two-car garage. The shipshape design had built-in wooden bunk beds, each one outfitted with a nautical wall sconce (with its own switch). The beds had portholes between them to make conversation easy, and drawers tucked neatly beneath them.
"Cheap and cheery was our motto," homeowner Tory Paine said.
There's another detail I love, and not just for kids -- I wish I had this just inside my front door: Just inside the bunkhouse door, an inset slatted-wood doormat was designed to trap as much sand as possible. To clean, lift the hinged section and vacuum the concrete floor below.
If you're in the market for bunkbeds, Apartment Therapy's Marketplace has a roundup of 2011 favorites in all price ranges. Or if you're the DIY type -- and if you're very handy -- this trio of hanging beds is stylishly minimalist, but if you build something like it, you'll need to go to great lengths, as these folks did, to make sure the beds are securely mounted.
A tiny minority: According to a Yahoo survey, only 5 percent of people polled consider a tiny house their dream home -- less than the 9 percent who want a castle or castle-type home. 11 percent want a stately, traditional mansion, but a full 50 percent said a green or energy-efficient home is their dream.
Vancouver, B.C., "microlofts": At MNN.com, Matt Hickman takes a look at some "microlofts" in Vancouver, B.C., that at 226 to 291 square feet are thought to be the smallest self-contained rental units in all of Canada (though I'd guess that's hard to prove). The 30 apartments, in a renovated historic building in the Gastown district, come furnished with the basics -- a flat-screen TV and a dishwasher included, but not an oven. I guess you supply your own toaster-oven and/or microwave. Find more on it here.
Tough times for architecture grads: A new study by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce found that the highest unemployment rate among recent college graduates is for those with undergraduate degrees in architecture, with 13.9 percent unemployed. That's even worse than those with degrees in the arts (11.1 percent) and humanities (9.4 percent). The Washington Post has the story.
Or check out The New York Times' take on the study: "Want a Job? Go to College, and Don't Major in Architecture"
For a very different take, see Jennifer Kennedy's story, "Reframing the Stats About Architecture," at Arch Daily. Kennedy is the author of "Success by Design: Revealing Profiles of California Architects."

Kenyan defender Curtis Osano will be in action Saturday 22 December 2012 as his side AFC Wimbledon faces hosts Port Vale in their English League Two weekend match.
The match will be especially vital for the Osano's club as they seek to edge further away from the bottom after being locked in relegation zone for the better part of the season so far.
Tough test
This will however not be an easy task as their opponents have a strong record in their past matches and are placed second on the standings though five points behind leaders Gillingham.
Osano is an important part of the team and is expected to equally steer the team to safety as the second leg of the season gets underway.
The defender has started in 11 matches this season for the side the last being their last weekend's 1-0 loss to Rotherham United.

I actually didn't get lost coming out of Schneider Arena for the first time in my life, but only because good friend John Connolly, the dean of college hockey writers, had me follow him out to the Interstate. Usually, I'm coming home from Providence on I46, so this was all new, and I didn't even have to stop at the Dunkin' Donuts on Admiral Street to find out where I was going wrong.
Now you know it's the conference home hotel when you check in at the front desk where my stop went way past the business at hand to eat four pecan cookies from a tray full that was offered by the fine desk people Richard and Danielle.
And as I chewed happily, a clean-cut, intelligent lad came up to the desk, and I think him and his buddy were looking over some type of menu.
Ah, you can tell a clean-cut Vermont Catamount anywhere, and this is one of them. He's freshman forward Mike Montagna, who will be wearing No. 7 if you go to Frozen Fenway or watch on NESN.
Now Mr. Montagna is from the Syracuse, N.Y. area, and guess who is favorite baseball team is?
The Red Sox, he told us. I would have thought the Yankees. Red Sox nation is everywhere.
Having to show off my knowledge of his coach's upbringing, I then told him that Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon's father was Bob Sneddon, who was a goaltender for the Springfield Kings.
"I didn't even know his father played pro hockey," he said.
Congratulations to Kevin Sneddon for the humility of not bringing his family hockey tree into his teachings, and we can assure you that reinforcement is not needed as Montagna went on to say what a great guy his coach is.
And Montagna is a promising player with a goal and six assists already in his freshman campaign. So wish him well Sox fans, he's one of yours. The guy's a producer, one year finishing second in the EJHL in assists as a member of the Syracuse Stars with 51.
No coach Seddon, I didn't see him eat any of those cookies.

there are really good veggie burgers that you can buy, as well as veggie patties and such. But if he is really that much of a meat and potato guy, this probably won't last long enough to go through your weeks worth of meals.
One of my favs is homemade chili (meatless) over baked potato with cheese and steamed broccoli and cauliflower. I love it!!
Many of the veggie burgers are made from highly processed, genetically modified soy; sadly, not healthy. Boca does have a handful of organic products
how is that healthy at all...if hes not gonna eat meat or veggies then his whole diet is going to be made up of mostly carbs right? good luck though....i have to take most the veggies out of my hubbys portions too...i wouldnt know wat to do if he started not wanting meat too
If you would like. Messege me. I have a TON of recepies I would be happy to share.
ooo! this one is an easy one for me!!!! lol vegetarian 7years, the last 2 i've transitioned to vegan...it's just me and my daughter and she's not veg so it's kinda easy for me and kinda not...anyway, you can't go wrong with any kind of meatless pasta dishes...my brain isn't working this early in the morning to give you recipes or ideas off the top of my head so i'll give you the website i live on...no matter what i'm trying to make, what special occassion coming up, they never let me down and someone might have already given it to you so...
also www.allrecipes.com has lots of recipes on it that are yummy...i mention that one b/c you can tell the site what foods you do/dont want included in a recipe so say you wanna do a pasta meal but don't want pork, beef, chicken and don't like onion you can put those in the 'do not include' list...
good luck!
I use to be a vegetarian. You can buy soy burgers in the vegetarian section of your grocery store. They are pretty good and usually when you incorporate it into your normal recipe's you can't tell its veggie.
Best advice is just cook your normal recipe's but replace the meat with soy or another veggie.
Quoting Ajohnson2334:
My dh is on a new health kick and this time he wants to not eat meat during weekdays. My dh does not like most veggies - has always been a 'meat and potato' kind of person, so for him to not want me to make what most of our meals consist of is a total challenge
Any meatless meal ideas? Even if there are veggies in them, I can usually take them out of his portion. I have some basics (cheese quesadillas, meatless spaghetti, red beans and rice, etc) but I am really stuck on things that I can make 5 nights out of the week with out repeating it over and over.
My husband is very much a meat and potato guy too. I'm vegetarian and make meatless meals at least a few times per week for the whole family.
Here is a link to an awesome vegetarian chili. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/The-Best-Vegetarian-Chili-in-the-World/
It's one of my husband's favorites. The first time I made it, I put bowls on the table for him and the kids and let them start eating while I cleaned up a little. My husband said it was the best chili he had ever had, but asked what was I going to eat. I sat down with my bowl and shrugged. I then ate a big spoonful and his jaw dropped. If this chili could fool my husband into thinking his vegetarian wife just ate meat, it is probably good for any meat and potatos guy. lol
These are great:

You gotta believe.
It's been a motto of so many teams, but this year's Rutgers football team is one team you can use that motto on. They have all the tools on the team to make an impact this year that will set up the future of Rutgers football.
Let's think about this for a second.
They have a schedule that is actually featuring some of the tougher in league teams at home. Louisville is probably the toughest team and we have them at Rutgers Stadium. Syracuse and UConn are also teams that can make a splash this year and we have them at home as well. Those 3 teams are ones that have tended to play Rutgers well so that is a nice advantage.
Then you have the future of Rutgers recruiting as well. With Penn State now having a reduced scholarship count, Rutgers is poised to start taking back recruits that they otherwise have lost to Penn State. All of those players in NJ and DE that Rutgers has lost in the past, like Kevin Haplea, Glenn Carson, Shawney Kersey, Justin Brown, Brett Brackett, and more all will have less of a choice when it comes to Penn State so Rutgers will have an even better shot.
So a top finish in the league, and a competitive game against Arkansas (or dare I say a win), will have Rutgers more poised than ever in the history of Rutgers football. It's amazing to think that the illustrious Greg Schiano and nearly every assistant coach leaves just when Rutgers is poised to make the biggest move in program history. I'm sure Kyle Flood and the other coaches who aim to prove they belong don't care and welcome the opportunity.
I may seem overexcited, but Rutgers has experience and depth all over the field to make a sure impact this season. They have two signal callers that have at least one year of experience. They have 2 or more talented running backs. They have a bevy of talented receivers. They have depth at tight end. And they have a lot of linemen with experience and talent. It's true to say that this team will go as far as the offensive line goes, but with the defense pushing the offense, they will only get better.
I hope everyone is excited because there really is no reason not to be. I saw a similar amount of people at the spring game that I've seen in the past and that's exciting to know that regardless of the coaching change the fans live on. That is an important showing because to me it shows this was not the Greg Schiano show, as it was the Joe Paterno show at Penn State. Hopefully Kyle Flood can do what Schiano came short of doing and provide the championship we have hoped for and give our fans that excitement we once had back in 2006 and 2007.
If that happens, this year will be remembered as the year that has transformed Rutgers football.

Heads Together…
"Lance Bass is locked and loaded for the next season of Dancing With the Stars, says an insider. But we hear network execs are already fretting over whether or not to pair the openly gay pop star with a male or female dance partner." [NYDN]
Are they kidding? They've paired every other gay man on that show with a woman. Why stop now?
cuz i want to see him dance with a man! lol
but he would probably be voted out pretty fast…..
I'd like to see him paired with a man, but I can't see it happening.
Eh. Stick him with a chick. I'm sure there are plenty of fag hags that he'd have a blast with. Most of the audience is straight, so it's what will appeal to most of the audience.
But if producers REALLY are considering a male partner, them I'm impressed and happy to hear we've made such progress where tv producers are actually sensitive to the feelings of gays over the majority — straights.
See, I did ballroom dancing for more than a decade. And even as a gay man, I can't see any way two men could dance ballroom together without one of them taking the female role. There are certain steps that are mandatory, required steps and have to be done a certain way, and those ways are designed for one man and one woman. Which means one man is effectively playing a woman's part. How do they decide who it is? Do they just swap places each week?
Now, the latin dances (cha-cha, rumba, samba, jive, paso) I could see them working something out, since they're not as regimented. But the modern dances (waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, tango, viennese), it would be very tricky.
Plus, as Thom says, gay men have been dancing with women for aeons. I mean, it's ballroom dancing for Christ's sake, of course gay men have been there all along,. Just because there's an openly gay man on the show, doesn't mean they need to change that. Still, it would be an interesting experiment to try to work it out.
@EDWOODY. I don't do ballroom dancing, so maybe I'm a little naive, but why should it matter which role they take? As you yourself said, the dance has heterosexism practically built into it. The more same-sex couples we get on that scene, the faster we can rectify that. Then again, something tells me the audience for this type of thing isn't the most progressive in the world…
As long as his dance partner is fully capable of supporting him in all the lifts and things (so's they're not limited in the moves they can do) I'd say go for a male/male pair :D That'd keep me and the rest of my gal's more interested I gotta say ;) !!

Washington state's 'Cash for Appliances' program begins
WASHINGTON — In an effort to get residents to upgrade to more energy efficient appliances, the Washington state Cash for Appliances rebate program began on Monday, March 15.
Residents can make use of either a $75 or $100 rebate for the purchase of qualifying Energy Star refrigerators or clothes washers, respectively, under the program.
According to the state Department of Commerce, those rebates will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Approximately $5.6 million is available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Once those funds run out, so does the program, according to the department's Web site.
Rebates are for the replacement of existing appliances in residential facilities only, and can not be redeemed by landlords, commercial entities or for new construction.
In order to receive the Cash for Appliances rebate, purchasers must submit proof that the old refrigerator or clothes washer was properly recycled under Washington state law.
State rebates can be combined with other manufacturer and pubic utility district rebates or incentives.
Snohomish County PUD currently offers residents a $50 rebate for purchasing a qualifying Energy Star refrigerator and either $50, $75 or $100 rebates for the purchase of a new clothes washer, according to the entity's Web site.
Rick Kvangnes, general manager for Judd & Black, said that upgrading to a newer, more efficient clothes washer or refrigerator has a lot of benefits.
The Everett-based company operates three retail stores, including one in Marysville, that sell appliances.
He said that inefficient clothes washers use about 44 gallons of water per load. Customers who purchase a new, high-efficiency machine could cut that number in half, and wash twice as many clothes per load.
Kvangnes also said that some newer refrigerators used less electricity than a 75 watt lightbulb.
"It should be a real boost to our business," Kvangnes said. "For customers, those new appliances are going to save money, and also save time and resources every single month."
Matt Danner, sales manager for Bry's Television and Appliance in Marysville, said that so far the program has been taking off quickly.
"It promotes our new washers and going green," Danner said. "There's a whole variety of products you can choose from. The time to buy and appliance is now with all the rebates. I think I just sold a Bosch (clothes washer) for $400 off."
Kvangnes and Danner both said that they've already fielded a number of questions from customers about the new program, despite it having a "soft-launch."
Chuck Hunter, communication specialist for the Washington state Department of Commerce, said that the Cash for Appliances program officially started March 15, but the organizers won't begin to really tout it until April 1.
"We're trying to be able to spread this out as much as possible and ease into it," Hunter said. "We've spoken with other states about similar programs and learned that some states ran out of (federal stimulus) funds within a day."
Hunter said that he's expecting about 45,000 clothes washers and 15,000 refrigerators to be replaced under the program within Washington.

This was my 2nd attempt at flying on ANA's Inspiration of Japan. It was my return flight after taking the LH A380 from FRA to NRT. ANA originally launched this new plane and new product on its NRT-JFK route and recently launched the new product daily on the NRT-FRA route. The first time, I found a great business class fare: SGN-NRT-JFK on the very first day of the scheduled launch of Inspiration of Japan. Unfortunately the launch was delayed at the 11th hour. The new premium economy seats, the original reason for the delay, are still not installed on the plane I flew from Narita to Frankfurt; registered as JA785A.
For this trip I had a coach class ticket. Upon check in, I attempted to get myself into a business class seat, but the best the check-in agent could do was moving me from a middle seat to an exit row: 30A. For this, I was thankful.
Row 30, "window" seats have no window. You can see out a window if you lean back and turn your head. The emergency slide on both sides of this 2-4-3 seat configuration protrudes into the exit row. Boarding and departure were picture perfect for this flight that consisted of 11:34 flying time.
As was the case on my last ANA flight, all electronics needed to be turned off immediately after boarding. This was strictly enforced. The first thing I noticed was how narrow the seat was. My left shoulder was jammed right up against the wall of the plane. The seat was also hard as a rock. This aircraft was delivered to ANA in March of 2010 so the seats either have not been broken in yet or the manufacturer used a very tough material. By hour five of the flight, I was sitting on my pillow because my ass hurt so bad. By hour 8, I was sitting on 2 pillows! The backs of these new economy seats are fixed but the back and bottom of the seats do slide to provide a small amount of recline.
I took some quick pictures of the business class seats (below), which look narrow and there appears to be a lot of wasted space, but I have not sat in them yet.
There were two meals served, The first was great in terms of quantity, quality and authenticity. The second meal was exactly the opposite. Terrible, in fact. I have had better coach meals on US carriers. ANA is offering "My Choice" dining between meals. From what I could understand, for a fee, economy passengers can order food and drinks through their in seat monitors, although that feature was not working properly on this flight. The food was still available though. I paid for a bowl of noodles and they were very tasty. Beer and wine were complimentary at meal time but were not available between meals for pay or free; that's annoying; either make it available or don't.
The TV screen was the largest I have ever seen in economy. The music selection was pretty weak but the movies and games were great. There is a USB hook up to play your ipod through the planes system. There was also power at each coach seat, but mine did not work. If you are an airline and/or geography buff, you will love the half dozen, customizable moving maps and the nose camera.
I believe the Inspiration of Japan will be a success for All Nippon Airways. The food in economy needs some help, but the service was top notch. Perhaps 3rd time is a charm and I will experience ANA's new Business Class seats on the Inspiration of Japan.

Is the 8:00 AM group run at Pierce Mill still on? If so, is anyone interested in carpooling from Arlington? I am not familiar with the Pierce Mill location and would rather not make the trek and show up alone.
I am looking for a ride to the group run at Peirce Mill. I am familiar with it and can get us there--i live in Alexandria, Old town however. Near GW Parkway.
I am happy to give anyone a ride to Pierce Mill who needs it. It would probably be easiest if people could get to the Ballston metro station and I could just scoop anyone and everyone there and then we can get on 66 and be on our merry way! If you want to discuss outside the forum, feel free to email me at email@example.com
see you soon!

SHERWOOD – For most of the first half, Liberty looked like the team that previously earned the No. 1 spot in the OSAA power rankings.
The Falcons crisply moved the ball, controlled possession and shut down any offensive threats on defense.
But Liberty's search for consistency this season continued in a sporadic second half. The Falcons surrendered three goals in the final 12 minutes and lost 4-2 to Sherwood on Tuesday night in a Northwest Oregon Conference boys soccer game at Sherwood High School.
"It's been an up-and-down year," Liberty coach Chris Sletten said. "It's two wins here, a loss there. That's the thing I'm trying to get these guys to understand. We've got to step on the field and bring it every day. Not just for 40 minutes. You've got to bring it for 80 minutes."
Playing in a steady rain that never let up, the teams were evenly matched for most of the game. After a 1-1 halftime score, it remained tied until senior forward Nathan Anderson gave the Bowmen a 2-1 lead with a goal in the 68th minute.
But Liberty (6-4-1, 3-2) quickly answered on senior Omar Tellez's goal in the 70th minute to make it 2-2. Tellez headed in the goal off a corner kick from junior Noe Gomez.
Sherwood junior midfielder Alexander Castaneda then stole the show with consecutive goals in the 74th and 76th minutes. His final goal, 91 seconds after his first, came off a free-kick assist from Anderson.
"As the game progressed, we started to take over the midfield and started to be able to attack in the front areas," Sherwood coach Monty Hawkins said.
The Bowmen (6-4-2, 3-2) thought they scored the first goal of the game in the sixth minute, but it was negated by an offside penalty.
Liberty junior Eric Avalos officially opened the scoring with a spectacular goal in the 15th minute. Avalos launched the goal from 30 yards away, hitting it with such force that it rattled off the right post and into the net.
"That was an amazing goal," Sletten said. "Eric is an unbelievable player."
Avalos, a first-team all-league forward last season, has unselfishly moved to defense this season to help bolster the Falcons' back line.
"He's probably our best player, but we needed him in the back this year," Sletten said. "He's sacrificed his personal accomplishments for helping us where we need him most. So it was nice to see him get another chance to get a goal tonight."
Liberty, which entered with shutouts in four of its previous five games, held the Bowmen scoreless for the first 38 minutes. But Sherwood evened the score at 1-1 on sophomore Connor Carraher's goal off an assist from Castaneda.
Hawkins, in his sixth season as Sherwood's coach, came away impressed with Liberty's play and is excited to see Sletten at the helm of the program. Hawkins coached Sletten on a youth soccer team and has enjoyed keeping in touch through the years.
"He provides stability and maturity to that team," Hawkins said. "He has a passion to teach and a passion to be involved in the sport. It's a good fit. Every year, if Liberty has a good coach then I'm worried. And they definitely do have a good coach this year."
Sletten, in his first season as head coach, has enjoyed seeing the progress his team has made and is excited about the future.
"It's a change that we have to make to our culture," Sletten said. "Hopefully these kids understand and know what to expect next year and we just keep building on that."
Liberty entered Thursday's game against Sandy ninth in the OSAA power rankings. Sherwood was fourth. But Sletten is trying to get his team to not worry about the rankings and focus on their schedule, which concludes Tuesday at home against Parkrose.
"We're going to do everything we can on the field and let that stuff take care of itself," Sletten said. "It's hard because it changes day-to-day, or even hour-to-hour really. When you've been ranked as high as we have been all year, it makes it even tougher for these kids because you're going to get everybody's best game."
That was certainly the case in the second half Tuesday as Sherwood turned up the intensity to record the key conference win. The NWOC features four teams in the OSAA top 10, including Putnam (fifth) and Wilsonville (seventh).
"Our league is competitive," Hawkins said. "I wouldn't be surprised if we all end up seeing each other along the way in the playoffs."

Fire district hopefuls focused on funding
While it wont be clear until after Tuesdays election who will be sitting on the South Kitsap Fire and Rescue Board of Commissioners, it is already clear what their biggest challenge will be securing funding for the fire district.
Both incumbents and at least one challenger said they believed finding a stable source of funding will be the focus of the board in the foreseeable future.
Paul Golnik, who was appointed by the board to Rick Metzgers vacant seat in February, said although the district has been struggling recently to fund its staffing needs, he felt confident the recently appointed Citizen Review Budget Committee would prove invaluable.
We should have some good suggestions from (the members) by our next meeting on Monday, Golnik said.
Darla Hartley also felt hopeful about the commissioners ability to steer the district through its funding crisis.
The board is pretty good, and we put a lot of thought into whatever we do, she said, explaining that the commissioners strive to give the taxpayers the best service they can. I feel that is my role to be the guardian of their tax dollars.
Gerald Preuss, a 15-year Manchester resident, is running against Hartley for a six-year term in position 3.
He agreed the districts first priority will be to secure stable funding, and that the board can help educate the public on the firefighters role.
More than 70 percent of their calls are EMT calls, which is everybodys lifeline, he said.
Preuss is retired from U.S West after more than 40 years working for telephone companies.
South Kitsap resident Phil Seratt is running against Golnik for his position 5 seat. Although Golnik was appointed to complete Metzgers term, he must be elected by voters.
Seratt is an operations support technician for CENCOM, Kitsap County Central Communications, where he has worked for more than 12 years. He could not be reached for comment.
Golnik has lived in South Kitsap for 50 years, and has more than 35 years of professional fire-fighting experience in Bremerton, where he is currently a captain.
Hartley has been a South Kitsap resident for nearly fifty years, and retired two years ago from the Washington Education Association.
She first joined the fire district board in 1988.

Forget abstinence-only education; if you really want to scare your teenager from going the way of Bristol and Jamie Lynn, this daisy chain of sexual dissatisfaction should do the trick.
In 1897, an Austrian doctor-turned-writer named Arthur Schnitzler, observing a syphilis epidemic spreading across the loins of Europe, decided the decadent continent could use a little remedial sex-ed. His play Reigen depicts an erotic round-robin, beginning and ending with a whore and passing through all levels of society along the way. The government, naturally, took offense, censoring the play and branding Schnitzler a pornographer.
Other playwrights, liking nothing more than breaking a senseless taboo, have given Schnitzler's work many adaptations, the most popular of which, The Blue Room by English playwright David Hare, is the final production of Portland Actors Conservatory's 25th season. Hare's version is set in the present day, replacing a soldier with a cabbie and a "little miss" with a model, and having two actors play all nine parts. It enjoyed a fabulously successful run on Broadway thanks to a brief appearance by Nicole Kidman's bare bum, though critics swore she out-acted her derriere.
PAC's production, directed by Philip Cuomo, casts one actor per character—it has a full class of conservatory students to employ. They all perform well enough, but two of them, the very experienced guest artist Jana Lee Hamblin and PAC student Mark Merritt, steal the show, he as a cocksure, bloviating playwright ("I'm known for my enormous vocabulary—my work is bulging with big words"), she as an aggressive but slightly unhinged actress. Both are hilarious.
With the educational thrust of the play rendered redundant by public education—at least for those of us whose high schools were more practical than Wasilla's—the subject shifts from disease to despair. All of these characters, with the exception of the horny cabbie, are searching for validation, but none of them find it in random hookups. The lesson—that fucking a stranger probably won't make you feel better—is worth remembering. .

Carve 121 or 131 for my girlfriend? (or: width vs. volume)
Hi all
Congratulation to the plug-and-play characteristics of your Starboard Carve Boards!
My girlfriend uses a 2011 Carve 131 Wood since 4 years now. It's a perfect match (size, easy control, easy to sail). So why replacing it? Since she is often surfing slightly underpowered (she doesn't like bigger sails) I would like to provide her with a board that planes better - sometimes there is not much missing, maybe 1 or 2 knots. The idea is to replace the board with a 2014 Carbon model – a Carve 121 or a Carve 131.
The Carve boards got wider and the question is: board decision based on volume or width? Is the 2011 Carve 131 (71cm wide) comparable to the 2014 Carve 131 (75.5cm wide) or the 2014 Carve 121 (72.5cm wide)?
I think my girlfriend could manage a tiny little step forward towards a more sportive (smaller) board, but the step should be very small and hardly noticeable. She still needs the stabilty for manśuvres (but not the volume - she is very light) and she needs easy control when the wind is picking up. But I would like to avoid that the new board feels bulkier.
By the way: Has the 2014 Carve Carbon boards 2 or 3 plugin rows for the footstraps? My girlfriend needs the "third" row now - the very inside and in the front position.
I'm looking forward for your feedback … and for the extra smile of my girlfriend coming back from the water with her new board.
Thanks ... and cheers from Switzerland
Hi Andy,
thanks! The Carve boards are easy going, you are right! I would suggest the Carve 121. This board will give your girl friend a bit more control, will start planing at the same time as the 131 as she is a light rider.
Would suggest to go for the lightest construction. The Carve boards have a wider outline and you have many options to get the foot straps fixed further forward and further inside.
If you are looking for a board with a real front option for the foot straps, I would recommend the GO 121, which is available in Tufskin construction only, what makes the board around 2 kg heavier compared to the Carve 121 in light constructions.
Hope that helps and would say the Carve 121 is a good overall choice. Your girlfriend will be stoked!
All the best,
Hi Chris
Thanks for your Feedback. So we will go for a Carve 121 Carbon ...
Cheers, Andy
Cool Andy, have fun with the board. And really hope your girlfriend will like the Carve 121 Carbon, too. Other wise you will come back to me and...
All the best and see you on the water,
Andy, have a look at the Atom too, it does everything well and is very easy to sail with plenty of foot strap options.
Hi mcross19
Thanks ... and it't true: The AtomIQ is a board to have on the list in this case. To be honest: I have no imagination how the board feels on the water and it's unpredictable how the board fits the taste and the windsurfing skills of my girlfriend. Maybe the AtomIQ is better than the Carve in every discipline for skilled Windsurfers. I'm sure we will test the AtomIQ somewhere somewhen to find out. In the meantime we will stick to an approved type of board. And yes, I've seen the variety of the footstrap positions of the AtomIQ on the beach recently.
Assuming the board description on the Starboard website is true (the subsite "Position in the range" is great) it's a clear choice: "... the Atom IQs are more maneuverable and aggressive with a free and lively planing. The Carves are more user-friendly, with a passive planing that doesn't require much input from the rider ..." My girlfriend isn't ready for a more lively board - she will be on the safer side with the calm and constant planing position of the Carve. But maybe I'm wrong ...
Cheers, Andy
I do not have an Atom IQ to test, but from what I hear, it might be a much better board for
your GF as it planes in a lot less wind, has softer rails, and covers a much wider range of conditions and sail sizes.
Hope this helps,
Hi Andy, if you've seen one on the beach then maybe you could ask the owner if you could have a go if they are reluctant try lending them your board and ask them to compare the two.
The Atom is not agressive at all, very dosile and it is the Atom that is passive planning.
I would say for sure that if she is less than 75Kg then go for the 100.
Hoi Roger, hoi Mcross
Thanks for emphasizing the AtomIQ being the better choice. This promotes me to look for a test board.
She has a weight of 53kg but for a replacement of the Carve 131 (2011, 71 wide) I would go for a AtomIQ 110 (74.5 wide) and not for the AtomIQ 100 (68.5 wide). But this must be confirmed by a test - not an easy task to find a rental board.
Cheers, Andy
Forget about volumes or width, a fellow windsurfing friend has the Atom 100 and is 75kg and says it is perfect for him. Unless she is planning on using sails bigger than 7m then the 100 would be my recommendation.
For me at nearly 90kg it feels big when using a sub 7m sail and would be too slappy for someone of your wife's weight in anything but flat conditions. Don't think she will disappointed with the Carve either if she were to go that route.

Starting this month, state Health Commissioner Heather Howard said participants will be given checks for fruits and vegetables. Participants also will be encouraged to use whole wheat bread and brown rice.
Howard said it's the first major revisions to WIC in 30 years.
WIC provides vouchers that can be redeemed at grocery stores for food staples such as milk, eggs and peanut butter. Eligibility hinges on income, pegged at $3,269 per month or less for a family of four.
More than 170,000 New Jersey mothers use the program each month.

Please watch the following clip of a detective trying to solve a murder very attentively to see how aware and perceptive you are:
It is all too easy to miss changes that we were not looking for! Our mind is adapted to how things were in the past, to our model of the world.
Our mind works based on what has worked in the past. Because it is impossible and would be way too slow to reconstruct all of reality from our sensual information, the brain takes shortcuts (heuristics) based on past experience. This works so long as our experiential models of realities more or less accurately reflect the current situation. In pathological cases like the above staged scene, many of our assumptions about the world fail, especially since the scene is geared towards exactly those weaknesses.
Deletion, Distortion, Generalization
On top of this we continuously delete, distort and generalize the information from our senses.
- We have to delete much of the incoming information simply because we don't have the attentional bandwidth to take in everything
- We distort information because we have a great need for congruence. If two pieces of information don't agree then one of them must be wrong, and having great difficulty to hold disagreeing information in our mind at once, one piece of information will very quickly be distorted to fit our model of the world
- We generalize as a technique to handle our limited attention. By making assumptions about the world and chunking information into categories we can think more abstractly. On the other hand we also lose a lot of detailed information in this process, BUT without being aware of all the things we don't pay attention to and think we know but don't
(See the whole series "BBC – Brain Story")
We simply aren't as aware, or as observant, or as objective as we like to think we are. Let's stay humble about it, aware of our biased view of the world and let's make a habit of widening our perspective, of noticing more of the things we are not particularly paying attention to.

"We are looking at all our options," Pritchard said. "I wouldn't say we're just looking at (Millsap). We are talking with him, that I can verify. But he's not the only person we're talking to."
Other free agents the Blazers are believed to be talking to are power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Lamar Odom and point guard Raymond Felton. Millsap, however, has been identified as the team's top priority.
Millsap and Felton are restricted free agents, which allows their teams seven days to match an offer. Felton is with Charlotte.
DeAngelo Simmons, the agent and cousin of Millsap, said he has been in talks with the Blazers and considers them a serious player in the pursuit of Millsap. He said he is awaiting a proposal from the team.
"But I'd rather keep quiet until I get something concrete," Simmons said.
Millsap, 24, averaged 13.5 points and 8.6 rebounds last season, his third in the NBA. He started a career-high 38 games when Carlos Boozer was injured and ended up with the sixth most offensive rebounds in the NBA (251). As a starter, Millsap averaged 16.0 points and 10.3 rebounds.
Although the Blazers have a rising star at power forward in LaMarcus Aldridge, Millsap has apparently assured the Blazers he would be content coming off the bench. Pritchard said he won't be deterred in paying big money for a backup.
"I'm a big believer that you get the best player," Pritchard said. "(Nate McMillan) is an unbelievable coach. He always figures out a how to blend talent together. And if you can get the best available player, go get him."
Millsap, a second-round pick in 2006, made the NBA-minimum $797,581 last season. The Blazers are preparing what one team source called a "toxic" offer, which was designed to scare off the Jazz and other suitors. That deal is expected to include a signing bonus and exhaust nearly all of the Blazers' $7.7 million in cap space. The Blazers could extend their cap space to $8.9 million by renouncing the rights to former first-round picks Petteri Koponen and Joel Freeland, but Pritchard on Thursday said he has no intentions of doing so.
Utah general manager Kevin O'Connor has been staunch in telling Salt Lake media that the Jazz intend to match any offer, even though the team has a $73 million payroll, which is over the $69 million the tax threshold.
Note: Bob Myers, the agent for Blazers guard Brandon Roy, has been tight-lipped throughout negotiations for Roy's contract extension, but on Thursday, Myers said "we are frustrated a deal has not been reached." Roy is asking for a maximum contract in both years (five) and money (estimated $82 million). However, the Blazers have been willing to only grant a four-year contract. The Blazers have until Oct. 31 to sign Roy, and Aldridge, to extensions. If they don't reach agreements, the players can become restricted free agents next summer.

Current students as applicants
We expect high grades and test scores of our applicants, but we also expect much more. To gauge eligibility, it may be most helpful to consider the characteristics of our current Honors Program students: • Average GPA (English, math, physical and social sciences, and foreign language only): 3.75 • Average SAT: 1870 • Average ACT: 28 • Honors, AP, and college courses: English language and literature, foreign languages, calculus, chemistry, U.S. history, economics, statistics, political science, and government equating to 3-43 college credit hours As high school students, besides studying, they dance, sing, play, compete, volunteer and so much more; current Miller Business Honors Program students were highly involved in their school and communities. They led and participated in numerous school organizations such as National Honors Society, student government, peer mentors, and every conceivable academic, athletic, and arts activity from academic decathlon to theatre production. They consistently earned academic honors for overall performance and subject-specific achievement. The majority of the students selflessly volunteered in local schools, communities, and with national organizations. Many of the students lettered in multiple sports and participated in state-level competitions. They also traveled abroad for cultural immersion, to practice foreign language abilities, and for mission work. In addition to these countless activities, many of the students also balanced part-time jobs. Motivation is a primary characteristic of our honors students and key in being considered for our programs. We seek students who are inherently curious, who want to know the how and why of particular topics and are eager to give extra effort in pursuit of this knowledge. We are looking for students who desire active participation in the classroom, as well as in co-curricular and social opportunities, to take full advantage of Honors Program, Miller College, and university opportunities. Current students at Ball State With drive, support, and a specialized curriculum and programming, Miller Business Honors Program students continue to excel at the college level. After the first two years, these students earn an average 3.73 Ball State GPA. They regularly pursue unique, often unrelated, combinations of majors and minors. They remain just as involved at college as they were in high school, balancing leadership and membership in co- and extra-curricular activities, community service, and part-time employment. A high percentage of these students take advantage of study abroad opportunities ranging from brief two-week experiences up to semester-long programs. Our students have traveled all over the globe, including such locations as Australia, China, Germany, Brazil, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. The students' efforts and our program offerings are directed to best prepare the students to earn full-time employment and graduate school admission at highly sought-after organizations. Although this program is still in its infancy, our students have already completed internships at and have received full-time job offers from national and regional headquarters of top companies such as: • Cisco Systems • Ernst & Young • PricewaterhouseCoopers • Deloitte • Roche • McDonald's • Naval Surface Warfare Center-Crane

By Marcia Dunn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida -- Pope Benedict XVI had a direct line to the heavens Saturday, with NASA's help.
Speaking from the Vatican, the pontiff bestowed a historic blessing upon the 12 astronauts circling Earth during the first-ever papal call to space, wishing a swift recovery for the shuttle commander's wounded congresswoman wife and condolences for a station astronaut mourning his mother's death.
The "extraordinary" conversation, as Benedict described it, occurred after the Endeavour astronauts inspected a small gash in the shuttle's belly, to ensure their safe return to Earth after departing the International Space Station in just over a week. NASA later determined the damage posed no threat to the next-to-last flight in the 30-year shuttle program.
Seated at a table before a TV set tuned to NASA's live broadcast from orbit, Benedict told the space travelers that "you are our representatives spearheading humanity's exploration of new spaces and possibilities for our future." He said he admired their courage, discipline and commitment.
"It must be obvious to you how we all live together on one Earth and how absurd it is that we fight and kill each one," the pontiff said, reading from prepared remarks. "I know that Mark Kelly's wife was a victim of a serious attack, and I hope her health continues to improve."
Kelly, who is of Irish-Catholic descent, thanked the pope for his kind words. His wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, had surgery to repair her skull Wednesday, four months after being shot in the head at a political event in Tucson, Ariz. She was nearly killed, yet managed to attend her husband's launch Monday.
Kelly told the pope that borders cannot be seen from space and noted that down on Earth, people usually fight for resources. At the space station, solar power provides unlimited energy, "and if those technologies could be adapted more on Earth, we could possibly reduce some of that violence," he said.
Benedict asked about the future of the planet and the environmental risks it faces, and wanted to know what the astronauts' most important message would be for young people when they return home.
Space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. spoke of the paper-thin layer of atmosphere "that separates every living thing from the vacuum of space." And shuttle crewman Mike Fincke described how he and his colleagues "can look down and see our beautiful planet Earth that God has made."
"However, if we look up, we can see the rest of the universe, and the rest of the universe is out there for us to explore," Fincke said. "The International Space Station is just one symbol, one example, of what human beings can do when we work together constructively."
Near the end of the 18-minute conversation, Benedict expressed concern for astronaut Paolo Nespoli, whose 78-year-old mother died in northern Italy at the beginning of May while he was serving on the space station.
"How have you been living through this time of pain on the International Space Station?" the pope asked.
"Holy Father, I felt your prayers and everyone's prayers arriving up here where outside the world . . . we have a vantage point to look at the Earth and we feel everything around us," Nespoli replied in Italian.
Nespoli will end his five-month space station mission Monday, returning to Earth aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule.
He will bring back with him a silver medal that shuttle astronaut Roberto Vittori took up with him on Endeavour that was provided by the pope. It depicts Michelangelo's "Creation of Man," which is painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
