One of the reasons the Giants' players are confident they're a different defense heading into this matchup against the Packers is the presence of Osi Umenyiora, who missed the first meeting with a high-ankle sprain.
Though Umenyiora appreciates the sentiment but says the improved play of the defense of late is about more than him.
"No, definitely not," the Giants' defensive end said today after practice. "We're playing a lot better. I don't know why but it seems everything's coming together. On the back end we're playing better, up front we're playing better. The calls are coming in better. We seem to be playing a lot better than we were then."
Umenyiora agrees his return would be a "logical" explanation but sees more to it. Since he returned the defense has eight sacks in two games. (Two of the sacks were his.)
"As a defense, on the defensive line, we were playing well when I wasn't there. I can't attribute that success to me," he said. "I feel for some reason everything is just coming together at the right time."
Umenyiora laughed when asked if he feels like his old self.
"I never left, man, I never did. I was just hurt," he said. "Everybody likes to forget things but I don't forget."
* * * *
Umenyiora was one of a few players to say today's practice was a good one.
"It was sharp," he said. "The last couple of weeks we've had good practices. Today has been no exception and hopefully we finish it off strong tomorrow."
Tom Coughlin liked the energy level. So did linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka.
"The confidence level's obviously high. The energy's been there and the intensity," he said. "Today was one of our best practices of the year. You had everybody flying around. Everybody who could be out there was out there. We're getting ready to go."
* * * *
TE Jake Ballard said his knee didn't swell after Sunday's game. That was a good sign, though he noted he didn't have much swelling since he first got hurt against the Redskins in Week 15.
Ballard hasn't been listed on the injury report all week.
"I've improved a little bit. (Planting) has become a lot easier without noticing, but I still feel it," he said. "I still feel it when I come out of my breaks fast and really try and get going. But that's to be expected with a PCL (injury)."
On a separate note, Ballard has obviously been watching the film of the first meeting with the Packers, so he had to re-watch the out-of-bounds incompletion that probably should've been a touchdown.
"Hopefully, I can make a play like that and get two feet in this time," he said.
Or one knee.
* * * *
CB Corey Webster (hamstring) and S Deon Grant (quad) were limited in practice today. Neither is a new injury and Coughlin indicated the team was just trying to make sure neither player had increased issues.
RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot/back) is expected to return to practice on Friday.

Finally, the tables have turned, say Canadian shoppers.
With the U.S. dollar weakening, many Ontario residents are downright giddy over their currency's strength -- about even in worth after trailing for a long time.
"For years, it's been the other way around. I don't know how you guys feel about it, but we're happy with it," said Canadian Bill Armstrong, who shopped Friday at Prime Outlets at Birch Run with his family.

This report examines the relationship between SMEs' management of intellectual assets, innovation and competitiveness.
This book defines the major trends and challenges facing tourism in the next decade – from globalisation to environmental issues. Tourism data from 42 countries are presented and analysed including all OECD countries, and fast-growing tourism centres such as Brazil, Chile, China and India.
The first edition of a biennial publication which analyses best practice in OECD and selected non member economies. It surveys a number of initiatives taken by governments and businesses in the tourism field, and provides a statistical profile of tourism in reporting countries.
This study shows how knowledge-intensive services activities (KISAs) contribute to the acquisition and growth capabilities of firms and public sector organisations.
These peer reviews (of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden) present recommendations for policy actions in each country based on strengths and weaknesses observed in the policy approach to developing highly skilled workers to fulfil future industry requirements.

Analysing trends and policies of foreign direct investment in Finland, this report concludes that national apprehension about it is now a thing of the past. In recent years, Finland has made considerable progress in removing discriminatory regulations against foreign investors. The desire to foster integration into the European Economic Area and the European Communities has boosted this process. No longer the outpost it once was,

It is surely an encouraging sign that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaigners have been reduced to lying about their supposed successes in recent weeks.
First, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign issued a press release trumpeting a decision by John Lewis to ban Ahava products, which turned out to be complete nonsense. Now, pathetically, they have tried to claim that a couple of kids giving up a temporary stall selling Dead Sea products in Sligo is another triumph for the BDS movement.
If the best the PSC can come up with is such nonsense, then the signs are propitious that BDS and the PSC are meeting the fate they deserve - humiliation.

|[TowerTalk] Curing Concrete

The Phantom wrote: > How long do you wait after pouring tower base and guy anchors > for the concrete to come to strength before proceeding with the > remainder of the installation? Concrete strength is specified at 28 days. Strength is generally specified as a pressure, i.e. in MPa (or even in PSI in countries that shun international standards). The concrete continues to strengthen while it dries, a process that may continue for years. The drying (and strengthening) happens rapidly in the early stages, after which it slows down. Derating curves are available, indicating the percentage of rated strength achievable in the first 28 days. While I don't have them with me, let's assume you require 15 MPa strength to erect the tower. You only have 10 days to do it in. Let's also assume that the curves show 60% strength at 10 days. This implies that you have to buy 15 MPa / 0.6 = 25 MPa concrete. This concrete is more expensive, as the mix contains more cement. It is also somewhat more difficult to vibrate into position. The bottom line: Plan ahead, and save yourself money and effort. That having been said, I have an admission to make. 90% of the antenna work at ZS6EZ is done in the week before a contest. Hence, I've had to overspend on concrete on more than one occasion. When I moved my station from my parents' house, I paid dearly for this poor planning. To remove a concrete block from the ground was almost impossible, as I'd had to use the strongest concrete available (I think it may have been 35 MPa!) with only three days to get the tower up. The block proved to be almost impossible to break. A 10 kg (22 lb) hammer literally could not even dent the surface. Eventually, I had to hire a team with an industrial-grade compressor and a jackhammer for a full day to fragment this block to 700 mm below the surface. The full day's work did not even include hauling the rubble away. Chris R.

Jabornegg & Pálffy –
Building in Context
June 25-September 27, 2009
The issue of new architecture within a historical context has been intensively debated for years, however, in most cases with little method. Viennese architects Christian Jabornegg and András Pálffy (office establishment in 1988) have been dealing with historical substance in a particularly analytical way. The architects neither want the isolated building nor the architectural design value to predominate, but ask for the context as a basic reference for any structural interference. They understand •Building in context• as a complex and differentiated interrelation of existing structures, development planning, architectural quality and constructive solutions.
Jabornegg & Pálffy's designs are based on context-related surveys and analyses. They regard didactical models as decisive elements for the interpretation of spatial changes in a historical environment, since these clearly convey the different building phases and methods. In addition, these measures are specified with plans and images. With over 30 — didactically processed — models of 14 examples, such as the Museum Judenplatz (2000) in Vienna, the administration centre of Schoeller Bank, Vienna (2000) and the Stift Altenburg Museum (2007), the exhibition documents how this "friction" with a historical environment can generate new architectural complex solutions.

The tiny ball of black fur picked me to take her home by playfully pawing at her cage and pleading her case through a pair of gorgeous gold eyes.
I named her Taj, after the blues musician Taj Mahal, and called her Tajee.
She curled up under my arm and fell asleep that same night, both of us worn out from the frolicking welcome that followed Tajee's release from the Humane Society 15 years ago.
Tajee was beautiful. At full growth she resembled a mini black panther.
She liked buffalo chicken wings sauce on my fingers, and sat up wide-eyed out of a stone nap to attack ice cream on a cold metal spoon with her tongue.
I'd sit in the recliner watching TV and Tajee would plop down on my chest right under my chin. Sometimes I had to turn the volume up because her purring sounded like a lawn mower.
When I worked at my computer, Tajee perched herself on top of my office chair next to my head and purred in my ear until I finished.
Tajee always answered when her name was called. But she had a funny way of reacting to 'Bootyhead.' She'd stretch and claw at the rug with her tush hoisted in the air, so 'Bootyhead' stuck.
They say cats only get verbal with humans. They're wrong. Tajee knew only one word: "Mah." My wife swore she was calling her "ma." And she probably was - until she spoke the same word with her buddies, Jappi and Chance.
Jappi was a white fluff of cocker spaniel craziness that never fully grasped the concept of going to the bathroom outside.
Her name? Think Jewish American Princess with a double 'p' and an 'i.' And spare the politically correct letters. My Jewish American wife named her. That was 14 years ago.
It's no coincidence that Jappi rhymes with 'happy.' She loved everything. Bacon strip dog treats. Exploring every inch of the back yard with her nose. When she made the occasional escape from the fenced-in yard, Jappi found unbridled joy in watching us chase her through the streets.
She also loved walks. Afterwards, she'd give me a single lick on my hand. It was her way of thanking me for taking her out.
But, mostly, Jappi loved Chance - her black Labrador boyfriend.
Like Tajee, Chance picked me to take him home from the pet store by appearing out of nowhere and absolutely refusing to leave my side. That was 12 years ago.
His papers listed the name 'Shadow.' So-named, according to the store owner, because he followed everybody hoping somebody would scratch his jaw.
My daughter renamed him 'Chance.' She said it was appropriate because of our chance meeting.
Chance may have been the friendliest dog in the history of dogs - a best friend that would just as soon lick you as look at you. Sitting there wagging his tongue, Chance was always smiling. That book-and-movie Marley dog had nothing on Chance in the personality department.
He'd even charm you with his favorite trick. Tell Chance to "sit," and he would sit. Tell him "high five," and he would raise his right paw in the air and slap hands. Ask for a "low five," and Chance would brush your hand with his left paw - close to the ground. A real low five.
And being a typical Lab retriever, Chance would chase a ball for as long as I could throw it. He'd pick it up, bring it back, drop it in my hand, and race after the next toss.
Same with Jappi. In their day, Chance and Jappi would run the same ball down for hours.
But with time, the hours they spent chasing the ball turned to minutes. Jappi would get tired, grab the ball ahead of Chance, then take it to the bushes and lie down with the ball next to her mouth. Chance would sneak over to try to steal it, but Jappi was always quick to pick it up and move to a different spot.
Jappi knew Chance's moves better than any of us.
Gray hairs began to appear on Chance's chin and around his eyes. Once-effortless trips up and down stairs turned into a struggle until Chance had to be carried up the stairs to my son's bedroom, where he slept. A skin condition caused Chance to itch all over, but he couldn't lift his back leg high enough to scratch.
Jappi grew deaf. Her head tilted to one side as if she awoke one day with a stroke. Stairs also became a chore. And she developed an eye condition that she wound up scratching into a bloody shame.
Then Tajee quit eating. She'd pick at chicken pieces or lop a little bit of ice cream off the spoon, but her once-fluffy body shrunk to skin and bones.
On Monday the week before Christmas, the vet took one look at both Chance and Jappi and said we had no choice: They had to be put down.
Jappi and Chance went together on the same table, their paws one on top of the other. They died holding hands.
Five days later, my wife found Tajee lying weakly on the floor of our bedroom. My wife picked her up and wrapped her in a towel.
Tajee opened her eyes for one last look. She died in my wife's arms.
Hardly a merry Christmas.
To say the least.

10 ideas to make meetings more efficient
categories: Business
Do you need ideas to make your meetings more efficient? Here are some ideas that I've collected along the way. I do not claim that they are my ideas and I have not tried all of them. Have fun!
- Conduct meeting without tables and chairs aka standing up – studies show meeting times will be cut in half!
- Money jar for late comers or no-shows – make it hurt (financially) to be late or miss a meeting, use that money to buy the team beer or donate to charity
- Take a moment of silence after a major decision – reflect on decision, give time for last minute objections, let the commitment sink in really good
- Put a clock on the wall – meetings should begin and definitely end on time
- Assign a note taker – the meeting chair needs to run the meeting while someone else takes notes, hard to do both
- Divide up a large block of meeting time (with same people) into smaller chunks – helps guide the agenda and keeps the meeting going
- Enforce a "no meeting" time period or day – seriously, there needs to be time to do work, come on people!
- Provide food – attendance will be good, also many will pay more attention (while eating) instead of typing on their laptops
- Clarify participant roles in invite – sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not, provide some context, maybe it'll help form the agenda easier
- Bonus: If the meeting requires 6+ people or more than an hour, the CEO is notified – one company did this, the theory is that a meeting of that size or time length should really damn important, I wonder if the company is still around, does anyone know?

These easy-to-make squares are perfect as a dessert or snack. When served soon after baking, the texture resembles freshly baked pumpkin pie, but after cooling (especially overnight), they firm up considerably and can be eaten with your fingers.
12 medjool dates, pitted and diced (about 1-1/4 cups or 8 ounces)
1 cup nondairy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups rolled oats, ground into flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 can (15 ounces) cooked pumpkin (not pumpkin pie "mix")
1/2 cup pecan halves, chopped (optional)
1. Place the pitted, chopped dates into a blender with the non-dairy milk and vanilla, and set aside for at least 30 minutes so that the dates may soften.
2. Combine the flour and spices in a mixing bowl.
3. After soaking, blend the dates, non-dairy milk and vanilla until smooth (1 to 2 minutes). Pour this mixture, along with the pumpkin, into the bowl of flour and spices. Mix until smooth with an electric beater, tossing in the nuts last. (The batter will be thick.)
4. Scrape into an 8 by 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper (or use a silicone baking pan). Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing the squares and serving. The longer they cool, the firmer they will become. Optional: add Nutty Frosting below just before serving.
Preparation: 35 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Makes: 12 to 16 squares
Using fresh pumpkin: I use canned pumpkin because it's convenient and easy, and I know the texture will be consistent. If using fresh pumpkin interests you, search "fresh pumpkin vs. canned pumpkin in baking" online.
Pumpkin pie spice substitution: If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, you may substitute: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground clove.
Oat flour: You can easily grind rolled oats into flour by using any blender; high-speed blenders produce the finest flour, but any blender will do. (A food processor is least effective.) If you are using pre-ground flour, the measurement is the same.
Pans: I use an 8×8-inch Pyrex pan here, but you can also use a lined pie or cake pan, and then cut the pieces to look like pumpkin pie slices.
Nutty Frosting
This simple nut-based frosting adds a little extra richness and sweetness to special-occasion cakes and bars. Spread on with a butter knife or use a cake decorating kit for a more decorative touch.
3/4 cup raw, unsalted cashews (about 4 ounces)
7 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped (about 5 ounces)
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Place all ingredients into a blender jar and let sit for at least 30 minutes, so the nuts and dates can soften.
2. After soaking, blend all ingredients until smooth. Use immediately or chill for a couple hours or overnight to thicken.
Preparation: 35 minutes
Cooking: 0 minutes
Makes: about 1-1/2 cups
Above: This was baked in a pie pan and served soon after taking out of the oven, so it has a looser texture. The longer it sits (or is refrigerated overnight) the firmer it will get (see below).
Above: These are completely cooled, so they are firm enough to be cut into snack-sized squares. The bottom squares have a little grated macadamia nut on them instead of frosting.
Above: You can also make mini pumpkin pies slices. After baking in a square pan and cooling, slice into three equal strips and then cut out little pie slices as you go across each strip. I bought this inexpensive cake decorating kit for the frosting.

It looks like the Ewing 33 Hi will really run the gamut as far as paying tribute to Patrick Ewings various stops on his way to the NBA. Along with the 'Jamaica' pair that's planned, there is also an Ewing 33 Hi 'Georgetown' colorway in the works that should satisfy the fans looking for a tie in to his NCAA days. The Hoyas look goes heavy on the suede and ends up as perhaps the most muted of releases we've seen from the revived Ewing Athletics to date. Click through for the full look and watch for these soon at spots like Titolo.

Yes, it is possible to snow in Athens. But it's not a very welcomed event for most locals used to the mild Greek winters. However, the feel of the capital on a somewhat snowy day is quite interesting. Let's take a look at some photos.

With no margin for rebellion, Senate Democrats pushed toward a crucial weekend test vote on their sweeping health care bill Friday, and wavering moderates appeared to be falling in line on President Barack Obama's signature issue.
One of three uncommitted centrists, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, announced he'd vote with his party's leaders on Saturday's must-pass procedural measure allowing debate to go forward.
Nelson said in a statement that it didn't mean he'd back the final bill, but that Nebraskans wanted changes to the health care system. "The Senate owes them a full and open debate," he said.
The nearly $1 trillion, 10-year Senate bill would extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans, bar insurance company practices like denying coverage to people with medical conditions, and require nearly all individuals to purchase insurance.
Sixty votes are required to clear Saturday's vote, meaning that all 58 Senate Democrats and the two independents that generally vote with them will need to hold together. Republicans are united in opposition.
"We are not assuming a thing. We are working hard to bring all Democrats together for the 60 votes necessary to proceed to this historic debate," said Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat. "I'm hoping that we can muster our ranks."
Nelson has been one of just three question marks in recent days, along with fellow moderate Democratic Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas.
Landrieu has made comments suggesting she'd allow debate to begin so the spotlight was on Lincoln, who's facing a difficult re-election next year.
Durbin initially said Friday that Lincoln had informed Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., how she plans to vote. Durbin later issued a statement backtracking, contending that his remarks were "incorrectly interpreted."
A spokeswoman for Lincoln, Leah Vest DiPietro, said no other senator speaks for Lincoln. "She is reviewing the bill before determining how she will vote Saturday," DiPietro said.
Republicans sought to increase the discomfort for the moderate Democrats. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., noted at a news conference that national polls show at best a split on the health care bill. "We hope our more moderate colleagues on the Democratic side would respect the wishes of their constituents, rather than do the bidding of Harry Reid," Kyl said.
Ahead of the vote, Republicans and Democrats spent Friday trading barbs on the Senate floor over the 2,074-page bill. Republicans displayed the Senate bill and the 1,990-page House bill -- stacked on top of each other to form a tall pile -- to criticize the legislation as an unwarranted government intrusion. Democrats defended their plan and blasted Republicans for not producing a bill of their own.
"These insurance changes will increase costs for millions of Americans," said Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo. "The voices of August are still out there, and they know this bill is just more of the same."
Dismissing Republican criticism, Durbin said, "The Republican health care reform bill is zero pages long because it has zero ideas."
The House earlier this month passed its own health overhaul bill on a 220-215 vote. After Saturday's vote, senators will leave Washington for a weeklong Thanksgiving recess, and return for a lengthy and unpredictable debate on the measure, with dozens of amendments expected from both sides.
Both the House and Senate bills would set up new purchasing marketplaces called exchanges where self-employed or uninsured individuals and small businesses could shop for insurance, including the choice of a new government insurance plan.
Both pieces of legislation would rely on more than $400 billion in cuts to Medicare over 10 years to pay for them. The Senate would tax high-cost insurance plans, drug companies and elective cosmetic surgery and raise the Medicare payroll tax on income over $200,000 per year for individuals and $250,000 for couples. The House approach would raise income taxes on the highest-earning individuals and households.

Homewood received strong pitching performances from Brian Browning and Adam Stewart to sweep a season-opening doubleheader at Pleasant Grove.
Browning tossed a one-hit, five-inning shutout with a walk and eight strikeouts in the opener. Browning, Cade Mullins, Luke Porter, Mason Schoetlin, and Devin McCary all had two hits in the Patriots' 13-hit attack, which inlcuded a nine-run fifth inning.
Stewart pitched five scoreless innings while allowing only one hit and striking out seven in the second game. Porter led the Patriots at the plate with three hits and five RBIs. Schoetlin, Jack Smalley, and Conner Rivers had two hits each.

Before Rosh Hashana in October, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama invited 900 rabbis to speak to him during a teleconference. Three rabbis -- one Orthodox, one Conservative, one Reform -- were authorized to ask him questions. Everyone else just listened in. At the home of Rabbi Gerald Sussman, spiritual leader of Congregation Temple Emanu-El in Port Richmond, the Democratic candidate for president was on speaker phone while the rabbi, his wife Boni, and some others listened in. (Do I wish I had known this beforehand? Yes!).
Boni Sussman said she remembers he spoke about the shofar, and that it was his understanding that this ungainly instrument, made of a ram's horn, is blown before the New Year to serve as a wake-up call to all Jews. Sen. Obama said it was his hope that all Americans would hear the call of the shofar and send him to the White House with a mandate for change.
We did that, in big numbers.
Now what? Now we can't tune out the shofar and leave all the work up to him. We have to keep listening. We have to keep paying attention to what our government is doing, and we have to make our voices heard. Complacency has become an American pastime, but it's one we have to overcome.
How do we pay attention? I hate to sound self-serving, but knowing what's going on is as simple as reading a newspaper, beyond the celebrity debacles and the stories about who is stabbing or shooting whom. A free press, a tuned-in populace and a charismatic president whose election was nothing short of amazing can bring about the change we need.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - Dozens of Huntington County residents learned about plans for annexation of an area of town at meeting Tuesday night at Café of Hope.
The five-phase annexation plan would add an additional 4½ miles to the City of Huntington.
Homes in the annexed area would receive city water and and sewer services, and face higher property taxes to pay for it.
Many residents are asking the city to rethink the expansion plans, citing those who live on farms and limited income.
Mayor Brooks Fetters, R-Huntington, says the annexation is part of the development of the city, and that immediate losses are worth the future growth of Huntington.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has praised the contribution of Jussi Jaaskelainen in the club's first season back in the Barclays Premier League.
37-year-old keeper Jaaskelainen was a summer arrival on a free transfer from Bolton Wanderers and kept a clean sheet in last weekend's battling 0-0 draw at Southampton.
It was a continuation of the Finn's fine form in recent weeks and Allardyce has been impressed with the No22.
He said: "There's no doubt that we've got the value from signing Jussi. All in all we wanted Robert Green to stay, but in the end we all felt his demands were too much for ourselves.
"He moved on to QPR, Jussi came in and I knew about his ability because I'd worked with him for so long at Bolton. The thing we didn't know was if he had the drive, the determination to put that ability back into this league again.
"He'd been bombed out by Owen Coyle, he hadn't been selected for most of that season, but certainly after pre-season training and getting himself back into the groove he's been a great acquisition for us.
"The goalkeeper and your goalscorers are the two biggest positions you have to fill in the team, then the centre halves and the centre midfield players - the core of your team.
"He's done a great job for us this season. I think he's a young 37, he's never suffered too many injuries or operations, which is a good sign."

MONTAGUE – Reviving Our American Democracy will hold a presentation on fracking at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 4, at the White Lake Community Center, 8741 Ferry St. in Montague.
Shelby resident Charles Thompson will give a presentation on the process, also called hydraulic fracturing -- the technique used by energy companies to extract oil and gas from rock by injecting high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals.
The event is free and open to the public.
Fracking is a controversial topic, with some saying the practice puts the environment at risk and others saying the practice is not a new one and has been demonstrated to be safe.
Resolving Our American Democracy, or ROAD, based in Montague, is a nonpartisan civic group and doesn't advocate for specific positions or political candidates, said ROAD Co-chairman Dave Frederick. ROAD holds monthly meetings with informational presentations.
"It's basically to inform people on the issue and do it in a nonpartisan way," Frederick said.
Frederick said that the presenter, Thompson, is a retired corporate researcher and writer who has promised to try to give a balanced presentation.
But, Frederick, said, there will be an opportunity at the end of the meeting to hear from Joy Smith of the Committee to Ban Fracking in Michigan, and sign the committee's petition to ban fracking.
"That will be an option for those at the end who have made up their minds," he said.
Fracking has been in the local news headlines recently with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality confirming there is an application for a fracking well in Ravenna Township. But Frederick said the topic for Thursday's meeting was originally decided in January, based on a poll by ROAD on which topics people were interested in.
For more information on this event, citizens can email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 231-894-4535.

A few Whidbey community artists and writers say farewell to 2010 with essays and poems
A merchant, artist and haberdasher tips her many hats to 2010
By Marguerite Juve
I make dozens of hats every year, and 2010 was no exception. What is always exceptional are the heads onto which those various hats land.
We all wear many hats both metaphorically and categorically. I wear the hat of artist and am grateful for a spanking new painting studio and to Sandra at MUSEO for giving me a really good excuse to use it!
I also wear the hat of a merchant as the co-owner of Eddy's, where over the past year multitudes have stopped in to look, chat, share their stories and listen to mine. As a Langley merchant, I am pleased to be a member of a growing movement that encourages people to shop locally. To that end, many of us have spent the past year educating ourselves on all the wonderful shops and amenities available right here.
I wear the hat of nonprofit volunteer on behalf of the youth of our community, and continue to dedicate my energies to our beloved Whidbey Children's Theater in Langley. WCT is growing up, and this amazing thing that the magical Martha Murphy began 30 years ago found a new artistic director in 2010, Ms. Rose Woods, who comes with her own form of mystical magic. And, although our little theater seats fewer then 100 at any given time, WCT continues to have the heart and soul of a behemoth arena!
My newest hat is worn as a volunteer for Island Shakespeare Festival. It is incredibly exciting to be a part of this grand adventure; one that is ripe with tremendous potential.
As I reflect on the year and decade, I realize it is this crazy cool community of multi-hat wearing artists, merchants, philanthropists and folk that keeps me thrilled for the coming year and the beginning of a new decade. And, of course, for dozens of more hats.
A Year in Verse
by Ramona Fankhauser
Looking back, without doubt 2010 was eventful
Leaving many excited, and others resentful
The Winter Olympics came once more- to Vancouver!
While nationwide tent cities brought to mind Hoover
Anti-Muslim antics were led by fanatics
Guiding the country through paranoid acrobatics
The mosque planned for two blocks away from ground zero
Bred fervent discussion and a famed anti-hero
(a Florida pastor who nearly built an inferno)
March brought the Health Care Bill's Congressional seal
Whispered Biden to Barack,
"It's a big f____ing deal!"
Delayed flights in April kept travelers local
All due to that Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokull
Apple launched the iPad, keeping fans on their toes
Yet amid Steve Jobs' pride, unemployment rates rose
And out on the Gulf Coast many hearts sank
When BP's hapless Hayward drew up blank after blank
As the rigs drilled on, and more companies were outed
It was Alaska's rugged beauty that oil-eager Palin touted
Elsewhere, the weather reports were quite bleak
Natural disasters left Haiti and Pakistan weak
Warming oceans and flooding left many nations battered
Lives were lost and homes were shattered
After sly WikiLeaks, our leaders were shocked
By the number of government secrets unlocked
Renegade on-the-run Harris-Moore brought us drama
Until this "Barefoot Bandit" was caught in the Bahamas
Countless fans flocked to Avatar, donning their 3D glasses
The film won an Oscar, and its effects pleased the masses
Mass movements were common; Tea Partiers rallied
And won several posts, once the votes were tallied
Social media spread, gaining many new members
That fire caught quickly, from its first, novel embers
Twenty-ten was tumultuous, that is for sure
But I, for one, cannot wait until next year.
New prospects make 2011 a catch
by Molly Larson Cook
Dear 2010.
I liked the look of your nice round numbers from the beginning. Clean. Crisp. Totally divisible. I could see you were dependable and could hold down a good job. Just the kind of number my mother always hoped I'd find, especially after my disastrous flirtations with 1965 and 1976 and especially with 2003. A girl can wait her whole life for a number like 2010.
And I had.
We started out well enough, our spirits high. Even the chilly weather of January and February couldn't bring us down. March came with the Ides and all, St Patrick's Day, my birthday and then the first day of spring, always welcome though not always springy.
March morphed into April, but as May rounded the corner, I could feel the gloss beginning to dim on 2010. Almost halfway through the year and we were still trying to figure out how things were between us. I mean, was this relationship going anyplace or were we spinning our wheels?
When June arrived and then July, I was pretty sure we were not the match made in heaven I'd once thought. Your unpredictable weather and my bouts of "when-is-the-sun- going-to-come-out-again?" mild depression were getting in the way of anything good between us. The dog days of August brought things to a head although we stumbled along together through September and October, neither of us willing to say goodbye.
The holidays distracted us in November, but by December, I knew it was over. Things were very dark and chilly, the kind of weather that comes between people and their favorite year.
Just before Christmas (and isn't that the best time to call it quits?), we sat down together one last time. "It's not you," I said just as you muttered the same lying words. Of course, it's you. It's always you! We gave each other a stiff, perfunctory hug and then you turned the corner. I was bereft until I got a flash of 2011 walking my way.
Dashing and handsome 2011. Wow! You ought to be on the cover of a modern romance, pal. Bold. Strong. And not divisble by anything at all. 2011, where have you been all my life?!
A poem to 2010
by Joni Takanikos
The year has passed,
The weather is still
the weather--politics
are still political
and pollsters still poll,
Slippery fisherman cast
their nets for particular fish,
and then we are caught--still fighting,
Still sick--no cure from
constant greed---missing
Understanding and compassion,
no insurance
no assurance
Blowin' in the wind
Weathered yet another year.
But here in the Salish Sea,
Dragon Isle,
We hold ourselves Past,
Present and Future,
Most Fortunate,
For here we have
Friends of Friends,
Hearts and Hammers,
Shakespeare in the Summer,
Narnia in the Fall,
Art and Music lining the
Streets, our Hearts, another Year in
Our Whidbey Community.
Each passing year is special here on Whidbey Island
by Lynn Willeford
When I came to South Whidbey in 1972, I was really coming to an island. Computers, cell phones, faxes, and big ferries were still in the future. Business happened in person or by mail. We were largely dependent on each other for jobs, services, help, support, and entertainment.
Now, of course, we have access to experts and services around the country and the world. We keep up on Facebook. We don't need our neighbors in quite the same ways.
So what amazes me is how connected to each other we islanders stay. Despite all the technology that connects us to people and companies near and far, we still feel the need to cultivate a caring home community. We do our jobs well. We help each other with big chores. We try to shop locally.
And we volunteer. Police, fire, EMTs. The folks at the Hub, the Commons, and everyone who's ever coached a sports team or led a youth group. Those who maintain our trails and pick up the litter on the beach or the roadside. Those who put on the county fair or share their artistic gifts. Mentors to young mothers, and hospice workers who gently see us out of the world. In groups and individually we try to be of service to each other.
In this community, Good Cheer makes sure we get fed, Friends of Friends helps when we're sick, and Hearts & Hammers keeps our homes safe. Local donors and volunteers make sure our kids have school supplies, Christmas gifts, healthy lunches on weekends and vacations, and tutoring.
Over generations we've built an admirable web of relationships and support right here. No matter how connected we are to the wider world in 2010, it's still the people who live around us who enrich our lives the most.

Next weekend the freestyle motocross community heads to Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California, for round three of the 2013 Red Bull X-Fighters freestyle competition and Wes Agee is one rider hoping to improve upon his third-place finish in last year's inaugural event in Southern California.
This year marks the second time the prestigious event finds itself in the mecca of freestyle motocross. Last year's course saw some big hits, including a massive 60-foot high step-up – the biggest hill jump to ever be included in an X-Fighters course. It plays into the hands of those who grew up freeriding in the hills of Southern California and Agee is one of those riders.
Last year, Agee came in as an underdog and he impressed the 15,000 fans and the judges, beating the likes of Levi Sherwood and Danny Torres to finish third. This year he won't be able to fly under the radar in his home event.
Recently we caught up with Temecula, California's Agee as he was fresh from his trip to South America for his first-ever X-Games appearance in Brazil. We asked him about his experience at X-Games as well as his plans heading into X-Fighters at Glen Helen after such a fantastic result last year.
How'd you get involved with freestyle motocross?
Well I grew up in Southern California in Fallbrook. I was born and raised there until I was 15 and I rode dirt bikes on the weekends at Ocotillo Wells and Beaumont, places like that. I started riding a lot more out in the desert and then hooked up and started riding with guys like Jimmy Fitzpatrick and some of the [Metal] Mulisha guys and soon enough I was making money riding my bike and just tried to get better and better every year and now here I am. I live out in Temecula just riding dirt bikes.
How much has Red Bull's involvement helped with evolving your freestyle career?
Since Red Bull stepped up and started helping my program it's definitely helped out my career a lot. It's been great. I get a lot of respect riding for such a prestigious company. I've been working hard at what I do for a lot of years so it's great to have Red Bull's backing; they really give me a lot of support, and those guys really take care of me. It's great to be promoting their brand.

The origins of the Gordon Bennett race
The Gordon Bennet Cup (or Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett) is the most famous aviation event in the world and is the ultimate challenge for balloon pilots and their equipment. The objectives of the race are simple: to fly the furthest distance from the start in the open wicker basket of a gas balloon.
This international gas balloon competition was initiated in 1906 by the adventurer and newspaper magnate James Gordon Bennett. In that year 16 balloons started from the gardens of the former Tuileries Palace in Paris. None of those present to see the event could possibly have imagined that the race would continue to be staged right into the 21st century.
The 57th race will take place in 2013, 107 years after that first race. The rules remain almost unchanged. The winner will be the team that flies the longest distance in a straight line between the start and the landing point. The actual distance flown and the time taken are of no significance. The competing balloons are allowed a maximum volume of 1050 cubic meters (about 37'080 cubic feet). The pilot and co-pilot must be the same nationality and their country must also be a member of the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale). Each country may enter a maximum of 3 teams. The winning country has the right to stage the next-but-one race, normally 2 years later.
In 2011, the French team Sebastien Rolland and Vincent Leys won the race, with a flight of straight-line distance of 780 km from Gap, France, in Linz, Austria. This win allowed France to host the race in 2013, which will be based in Nancy. http://www.gordonbennett2011.org/

News Releases
/ Conservation Funds Available for Farmers in the Hickory Branch Watershed
Loading Tree...
Jim Will
COLUMBUS, OHIO - May 7, 2012 – More than $24 million is available to agricultural producers and landowners to improve and protect the waters and resources in the Great Lakes Basin, announced Terry Cosby, State Conservationist for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Applications to install specific conservation practices through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) are being accepted for priority ranking through June 8, 2012.
Producers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin can apply at their local USDA office for funding through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP), and the Conservation Technical Assistance Program (CTAP). NRCS specialists provide farmers and ranchers with technical assistance to help determine the best conservation practices to improve and protect the resources on their land.
All eight states are using the same dates for the sign-up. Interested landowners should contact their local USDA office before June 8, 2012, to apply. Of the $24 million, $10 million will be directed at reducing phosphorus loading in three specific watersheds in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The Maumee River (Upper Blanchard) Watershed has been selected as the priority watershed in Ohio, which includes portions of: Hancock, Hardin, Seneca and Wyandot Counties. The following counties are included in the entire GLRI watershed: Mercer, Van Wert, Paulding, Defiance, Williams, Fulton, Henry, Putnam, Allen, Auglaize, Hardin, Marion, Wyandot, Crawford, Seneca, Sandusky, Ottawa, Wood, Lucas and Hancock.
"The GLRI is a multi-agency group working together to improve and protect the waters of the Great Lakes Basin," said Cosby. "NRCS is proud to be able to work with farmers and landowners on private lands who are doing their part to improve the resources."
This year, GLRI focuses on practices that have the highest benefit for reducing water quality degradation due to agricultural runoff, and practices that establish and improve fish and wildlife habitat and assist in controlling invasive species.
Examples of these practices include waste storage facilities, residue management, no-till, nutrient management, tree planting, wetland creation, upland wildlife management, and brush management, among others.
"The farmers and landowners who come to us for help are really the ones that deserve the credit," said Cosby. "We provide them with information on the scientifically-proven practices and where best to use them, as well as financing to help pay for them, but it's their land and they make the decisions."
Since 1935, NRCS' nationwide conservation delivery system works with private landowners to put conservation on the ground based on specific, local conservation needs, while accommodating state and national interests.

When the Exchange burned a few weeks ago, the Actors Theater of Orcas Island lost a valued resource.
Director Doug Bechtel relied on the Exchange for all variety of props, costumes and supplies for the theater's productions.
During their recent performances of "Hotbed Hotel," the Actors Theater passed the hat and raised $1,435 from their audiences to support reconstruction of the Exchange facility.
Doug Bechtel presented a check to Orcas Island Community Foundation Director Hilary Canty to deposit in the Phoenix Fund, the account established by the Exchange to support rebuilding efforts.
If you are interested in contributing to help the Exchange rise from the ashes, mail a check to The Orcas Island Community Foundation, PO Box 1496, Eastsound, WA 98245. Checks should be made out to OICF with the "Phoenix Fund" in the memo line. To donate with a credit card, visit www.oicf.us.

The lifelong friends wanted to open a restaurant in New Orleans. Buchert would be the chef despite the fact that he had never been one before. Ponder had no restaurant experience whatsoever.
What Buchert and Ponder did have was a space -- albeit one without a kitchen or liquor license -- and an idea Buchert had harbored for years "to have a taqueria that played Bob Marley music."
A responsible bank employee would have chuckled and tossed the proposal into the garbage. But Adjey was intrigued. Buchert and Ponder's dream was just crazy enough to make their quest to open a restaurant called The Rum House an ideal subject for "David Adjey's Restaurant 101," a program in development for Food Network Canada.
"When I walked off the plane in New Orleans, I was still like, 'What the hell is this?'" Adjey said. "The whole story starts out with a Rastafarian taqueria. The boys won me over."
Adjey is a seasoned restaurant consultant and television personality based in Toronto. "Restaurant 101," as he described it, essentially condenses his consulting work into hour-long episodes shot in documentary style. The fact that Buchert and Ponder were eager for Adjey's advice in launching The Rum House, which opened on Magazine Street June 23, made the union ideal for all parties.
Still, it wasn't exactly a stress-free marriage.
The Rum House
3128 Magazine St., New Orleans
Adjey and his crew arrived in New Orleans earlier this month. Adjey recalled one of the first scenes: "I just gave (Buchert and Ponder) a list of 20 or 30 tasks to complete and walked out." The film crew returned June 18 to film the five days leading up to The Rum House's grand opening.
"He saw where we were at, saw what needed to be done and pointed us in the right direction," Buchert said of Adjey. "I didn't realize it, but it was kind of like boot camp. (Adjey) would say, right before we were going to leave for the day, 'By the way, we'll be at your house at 4:30 a.m.' I'm like, 'I haven't slept in a week.'"
Conceptually, Buchert had a clear idea of what he wanted The Rum House to be: a fun place specializing in creative Mexican and Caribbean food with a large selection of rum and tequila. By both his and Adjey's account, the food was Buchert's biggest challenge.
"He's not a chef," Adjey said of Buchert, who has worked in a restaurant kitchen but built his career in the front of the house, notably during almost seven years at Serrano's Salsa Co. "We needed to get him to go from making fancy dinners for 10 at home to 130 orders a night."
Presentation, on the plate and otherwise, was a particular focus.
"We came up with something we called plate flair," Adjey explained. "George Clinton of Parliament-Funkadelic said it once: 'Free your mind and your ass will follow.' I need to see (Buchert's) inner fun, to force him to garnish his plates and stand out in the front of the kitchen and expedite. You as a customer are going to say, 'That guy's the owner, and he's touching every plate.'"
"(Adjey) brought me into Commander's Palace, and I got to see how they expedite the food out of their window," Buchert said. "I saw that as chef, you're the last guard for making everything right."
In Adjey's eyes, meeting Commander's chef Tory McPhail was Buchert's "first epiphany." He remembers McPhail telling Buchert, "You will be judged by every plate of food that comes out of your kitchen. If you don't like the plate your chefs made, push it back and make them do it again."
At 3128 Magazine St., The Rum House is a close neighbor to Commander's Palace, although it's unlikely the two restaurants will end up close competitors. The Rum House's opening menu includes grilled, chimichurri-marinated chicken, chile-glazed shrimp and Jamaican-style beef patties.
"Our signature is our jerk," Buchert said. "And when we designed the jerk for the restaurant, we designed it for the tacos."
At a "soft opening" of The Rum House before the big day, there were eight different tacos on the menu. "That was just a nightmare," Buchert said. "One of the things we learned is you can't just open a new restaurant and try to go full blast."
By grand opening time, the Rum House's taco menu was cut in half. But Buchert hopes to build a larger menu over the next couple of months.
By that point, The Rum House episode of "Restaurant 101" could be running throughout Canada -- and quite possibly the United States, where Adjey's production company is shopping the program to cable outlets.
The exposure will be welcome, although Buchert expects the lasting value of his fast and unconventional baptism in television to come from Adjey's guidance.
"No doubt we're going to be a better restaurant for having David come in and consult with us," he said.
"There's a chance for both (Buchert and Ponder) to make a decent living," Adjey said. "The concept is strong. I think the location is strong. But their days of going golfing and fishing are pretty much over."

I am applying for a new job and this is my selection criteria I need to address and my head is hurting.
Selection Criteria
1. Effective written and oral communication skills, including report writing, and the ability to effectively interact with students with special needs, and liaise with parents, teachers and community members and assist teachers in understanding students where necessary.
2. Effective interpersonal skills, including the ability to contribute to a professional team and provide advice and evaluation in the development of the education program, including special education and therapy programs where they have been implemented.
3. Effectively assist professionals in the implementation and evaluation of education programs, including special education and, should this be a requirement of the position, occupational and/or physiotherapy programs.
4. Knowledge and understanding of health and physical disabilities in students and adolescents.
5. Effective organisational skills that will assist in the delivery of effective education programs and subsequent feedback and evaluation to teachers or psychologists.
6. Ability to assist with the general health and well being of students.
1. Reading and Writing. Talking and making your point well with other people and students(children)
2. Good teamwork skills
3. Be useful in making things happen assosiated to your job, systems etc.
4. Know stuff about your job...
5. know stuff about your kids that you will be teaching, ie. It sounds like its a special school of some kind, so be able to help with the health requirements of those children.
There, dumbed it down for ya!
good luck!
Yeah now write the answers so i can get the job. I know what they want me to write!! I just dont know how to write the answer how they want it.
I already work in a special needs school. I am going for a job in a specialised center to produce teaching aides for teachers in mainstream schools.
answer with examples eg. 6. in my previous experience at this school, i blah blah blah
Can you make number four longer than two sentances?
I'm pretty good with selection criteria. But ultimately you are the only person who can really write it. If you like, you can PM me with a little more info about the position and I can write you some generic paragraph openers and closers. When do you have to have it done by?
Through my experiences as a teaching aide I have been able to gain knowledge and understanding of the health and physical disabilities that have challenged my past/current students. My time at (old/current school) has enabled me to see that students with one disability will require attention and assistance in different areas than a student with another type of disability. This has helped me to become a better teacher because blah, blah (something like) I can distribute my time and attention evenly through out the students because i know who needs more time who needs less, blah blah.
I dont know what your looking for but thats an attempt.
That looks pretty darn good....Originally Posted by slundy
I spend too much money on my cars & bike
Click me to see my ride
Thanks guys for all your help. I gave it a go and I think I have done allright. I will let you know how things go.

Liposuction Before & After Photos
Case 76
The photos displayed below depict actual patients. These patients have provided their consent to display their pictures online. All photos contained in this Web site are protected by copyright and may not be copied, linked, or redistributed in any form.
Case Number: 76
As they age, many men see excess fat and flab develop around their stomachs, making them feel less attractive and causing clothes to fit poorly or become uncomfortable. This 35-year-old liposuction patient from Northwest Indiana came to my office concerned with excess skin and fat around his waist and along his hips. Even though he ate responsibly, jogged, and went to the gym regularly, these stubborn trouble spots wouldn't respond to diet and exercise.
During his consultation, I noted localized collections of fat in his abdomen and flanks. Lucky for him, the patient had good skin tone, which improves the results of any Indiana liposuction. Tighter, healthier skin will shrink down evenly over the newly contoured fat tissue after surgery. Patients who have excessively stretched or mottled skin still can undergo liposuction, but often they will not see smooth, even results after their procedure.
This patient's liposuction was performed at an Indiana surgery center near Valparaiso on an outpatient basis. Before surgery, he opted for general anesthesia. His surgery went off without a hitch and the patient had no complications. I required him to wear a compression garment for one month after surgery to reduce swelling and improve results.
As you can see from his post-op photos, this patient now has a dramatically slimmer waistline. He told me his clothes fit better now than they have in years and he couldn't be happier to get rid of his belly flab. To see how liposuction can improve your look, schedule a consultation today.

ESCANABA - He's a freshman *clap clap, clapclapclap* He's a freshman *clap clap, *clapclapclap*
No. Jason Whitens was a lot of things during North Central's 54-46 overtime victory over Munising in Monday night's Class D regional semifinal, but a freshman was not one of them.
Freshmen make mistakes, freshmen panic when the ball is in their hands, your team down by three and 15 seconds to go. Freshmen don't make a step-back game-tying three-pointer, under immense pressure, in front of a packed house, to send the game to overtime.

Keith Shelton | Daily Press
North Central's Rob Granquist takes a jumper over Alex Hill of Munising during the second half, Monday night at Escanaba.
What Jason Whitens was Monday night, more than anything, was clutch. Ice in his veins, clutch.
"There's not a lot going through your mind there besides, I need to make this, and it just went in," said Whitens of the shot that saved North Central's season.
And that's no understatement.
Fact Box
Munising 15 5 13 10 3 - 46
N. Central 13 7 10 13 11 - 54
Munising - Immel 2, Kelto 9, Blank 7, Ackerman 5, Hill 5, Stasewich 18; FT: 9-15; F: 20; Fouled out: Kelto, Hill; 3-point field goals: Ackerman.
North Central - Polfus 2, R. Granquist 7, J. Granquist 6, Vincent 2, Whitens 22, Martin 4, Ekberg 11; FT: 17-25; F: 17; Fouled out: None; 3-point field goals: Whitens 2, Ekberg.
The Mustangs led 35-30 going into the fourth quarter, having wrestled control of the momentum with a 5-0 run. For Munising, so the adage goes, it might as well have been a 15 point lead.
But North Central stormed back with three points from Rob Granquist on a free throw and fade-away jumper, followed by an 18-footer from Whitens. But the see-saw continued to go back and forth.
At about the two minute mark, the game was tied at 39 and Whitens was at the line having made two pressure-packed foul shots a minute earlier. He made one of two giving the Jets a one point lead. On the other end, Trevor Ekberg came up with a big block and the Jets came storming down the court, but came up short.
Munising drained the clock down and got the ball to Ben Stasewich who made life very difficult for the Jets all game, and he hit a big shot to give the Mustangs a 41-40 advantage. The Jets then missed on a three attempts on their next possession, and had to quickly foul twice to get into the bonus with time ticking away.
Colin Immel stepped to the line for Munising, having been held scoreless the entire game, but he sunk both shots under enormous pressure, and North Central's season came down to 15 seconds.
Whitens was covered to perfection by Immel on his three point shot, that he faked, and then adjusted before launching a seemingly off-balance prayer, that ended up being nothing but net.
"It was an explosion of emotion. There's no other way I can put it," said Ekberg of the play. "It was a drawn up play for either (Whitens) or me to shoot it, and I'm glad he shot it and made it."
Even after that, Munising still had a shot in regulation as Austin Kelto received the ball in open space and tore down court with Whitens defending him. There was a collision as Kelto went up for the shot, but no foul was called and the buzzer sounded, ending regulation.
Munising (19-4) had possession with one minute to go in the fourth quarter, down by one point, but Mustangs head coach Dan Waterman said he didn't consider holding the ball for one shot to win it.
"We were down by only one with a minute to go and we had to continue to be aggressive, because we tried to run it down in each and every quarter and they poked balls away from us in two of those first three quarters. I didn't want to do that, I wanted to continue to attack," said Waterman. "I thought we had a better chance of scoring going to the rim versus putting it on the free throw line, and we did. We scored a bucket, then got up by three."
Waterman amounted Whitens' shot to a players simply making a play.
"You have to give the Whitens kid credit. He hit a huge shot with a guy draped all over him," he said. "Their season's on the line, and that's a freshman taking that shot, and he stepped up big time. You have to tip your hat, he made a play."
Whitens said it was a situation he's practiced.
"When I go to the gym and work out, I work with a guy on me at all times and I just got the shot off," he said. "It was the most difficult shot of my life, but we work on tough shots like that."
In overtime, Munising struck first when Garrett Blank drew a foul and made one of two free throws. Ekberg, who scored 11 points in the game, answered for North Central on the other end. Blank was fouled again on Munising's next possession and made both free throws, and that would be the Mustangs final points of the game.
The Jets ended the overtime period on a 9-0 run, making 7-of-10 free throws.
"We missed a big defensive rebound off a missed free throw with the score tied at 46 at that point, and they regained possession," said Waterman. "We fouled them, they made both free throws, we came down and missed, and they came down and scored again. It was a four point game with roughly two minutes to go. That totally changes the complexion of the game. The game literally turned in that instant."
The Jets navigated a couple tough blows during the game. Rob Granquist was slapped with two fouls in the first three minutes of the game and sat for a good while. But directly after that happened, Josh Granquist came up with a steal and a layup.
The Jets scored just seven points in the second quarter, but Munising only scored three. Jason Whitens scored the first points of the quarter at the 3:21 mark. Ekberg hit a triple to break the tie, and Noah Ackerman answered with a 3-pointer for Munising. But with the Mustangs holding the ball at the end of the half, Tyler Polfus came up with a big steal and layup at the other end, beating the buzzer.
Skyline and Central U.P. Conference MVP Travis Vincent was shut down offensively by Ben Stasewich plus help, and held to two points, but Vincent still came up big in the game.
The Jets had no answer for Stasewich in the first half, as Kelto and crew found him repeatedly in the paint. He had 10 points at the half, but finished with 18 and was slowed down the stretch by Vincent.
"In the second half, he did a great job," said Jets coach Adam Mercier of Vincent. "He took a huge charge, the first charge of the year for Travis Vincent and hats off to him for taking it, and he just shut down the middle at times during the game. It's not about personal accolades for this team, it's about team success, and you have to have some personal sacrifice to have have team success, and all the guys are buying into it."
Many teams try to force the tempo on Munising, and many teams fail to do so. Mercier gave credit tot he Mustangs defense.
"They're so fast, athletic, physical and well coached. They're just the best defensive ball club that we play all year. Hats off to them," he said. "They prepared for us really hard. They know what's coming every time. I have so much respect for that team. They make us a better team by us playing them twice a year."
Though his Jets seemingly kept their cool down the stretch and made the plays to win, Mercier rejected the notion that his team wanted it more.
"I don't think so. The Munising kids are competitive, you can tell. They're grinders," he said. "They wanted it just as bad as us. We made just enough plays there at the end to win, but nothing that Munising should be ashamed of. They played their hearts out, just like our kids."
North Central (24-0) will move on to face Forest Park in Wednesday's regional final. The Trojans (20-3) defeated Lake Linden-Hubbell 75-60 in the first game Monday night. Wednesday's tip off is at 7 p.m.

Up to a foot of heavy wet snow might be seen across the northeast today which is bound to cause power outages, downed trees and headaches for travelers. The storm will dump a lot of snow in a short amount of time; the storm will be in and out in less than 24 hours.
The heaviest snow will cover an area from Virginia, north across central and east Pennsylvania to Southeast New York, Northwest new Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. The worst conditions are bound to be in the mountains and higher elevations where the colder temperatures are.
The I-95 corridor won't get as much heavy snow but will still get some intense rain and snow because of the increasing winds which will cause flight delays throughout the Northeast and could cause a country wide ripple effect.
The winds associated with this storm won't make it the worst windstorm ever recorded but its winds do stand to be pretty intense. Most of the mid-Atlantic coast and areas inland in the Northeast will see 20-30 mph winds, while most of the coastal areas of the Northeast could see 30-50 mph winds and there's even a possibility of winds breaking 50 mph in the Cape Cod area.
This combination of the heavy wet snow and the powerful winds will most definitely bring down trees and power lines that could have people in rural areas without power for days. Even in areas that don't get snow, if the ground becomes saturated enough from the rain, the winds will be strong enough to bring trees down.
The mid-Atlantic coast and Northeast areas are still vulnerable after being ravaged by Hurricane just two months ago. This storm threatens to be just as bad as Irene or worse, threatening coastal and urban flooding near the shorelines and casting stronger winds over a larger area than Irene.
During the storm it would be best to stay indoors, the storm should be on the way out by tomorrow morning. If you have to go out, be cautious. Travel conditions are likely to be very treacherous and with the threat of downed trees, trees could fall on houses, vehicles or passing pedestrians.
