The college football spring evaluation period runs from April 15 throughout the end of May of each year. During that time, college coaches are allowed to make two off-campus visits per high school and one phone call to each of the junior prospects they desire.Collegiate coaches are not allowed to talk to juniors while at their schools, although it is understood that coaches often "bump into" recruits from time to time.
The visits are more-so expected to take place between the collegiate and high school coaches in which staff members can inquire about different aspects of prospective collegiate student-athletes at the school.
Coaches aren't allowed any off-campus, initiated contact with any underclassmen, again, until August 1 going into the prospects' senior years. In other words, they must ensure that the evaluation period classifies as time well spent. Verbal scholarship offers are often issued during this period, as coaches will verbally offer many of the underclassmen targets whom they have yet to.
The recruiting sites also utilize this time to further evaluate underclassmen, assessing their game film, evaluating them at camps, updating their offer lists and ratings as well as any other pertinent information acquired about prospects throughout the period.
Today, NJ.com will highlight the top domestic movers and shakers of the spring evaluation period. Now, this is not a list of the top prospects per class (per se). If it were, top domestic recruits such as Gerald Owens, Jonathan Hilliman, Saeed Blacknall and Juwann Winfree, to name a few, would have certainly made the list.
Instead, our purpose is to highlight the individuals, not quite as established before April 15, but who have come a long way since that time in multiple facets of their recruitment. Players currently committed to programs have been excluded.
Get it? Good. Now, let's get to it:
Class of 2014:
12. Terrance Harris (6-2, 245), DE, Paramus Catholic: The number of FBS–caliber athletes to play for Paramus Catholic continues to grow as Terrance Harris added his name to the list when UMass came calling in February. Programs such as Iowa, Western Michigan and Florida Atlantic followed in offering him scholarships this spring. Rutgers offer? No
11. Jameer Outsey (6-3, 220), ATH, Franklin Township: All four of his offers – Pitt, Akron, Iowa and Buffalo – have arrived during the spring evaluation period. Outsey had always looked the part but displayed big-time athleticism as well as the ability to run throughout camp season, earning him collegiate scholarship opportunities. Rutgers offer? No
10. Courtel Jenkins (6-2, 315), DT, DePaul Catholic: There might not be a player in the state who wants it more. Jenkins reshaped his body going into the spring and has been much more explosive and athletic because of it. Another thing that stood out about him this spring is his competitive nature. Jenkins competed at the NUC 5-Star Showcase, Rivals Camp- Newark (held in Piscataway) and the Nike Football Training Camp (Florham Park, N.J.), winning a high percentage of his one-on-one repetitions at all three venues. He even took home top overall player honors at the NUC event. And this past weekend, he threw on his blue collar shirt and work boots, flew down to the University of Miami, and came away with an offer, his fifth behind Pitt which offered last October, as well as Buffalo, UMass and Maryland who recently extended tenders. Rutgers offer? No
Jenkins recently committed to the University of Miami.
9. Joe Vitiello (6-5, 265), DL, Immaculata: Vitiello appears to have packed on upwards of 20 pounds since last season. And as his potential to contribute collegiately from the defensive interior increased, so did his offer list. Boston College, UConn, USF and Buffalo are a few of the programs to extend him tenders since April. Rutgers offer? No
Vitiello recently committed to Boston College.
8. Antoine White (6-2, 265), DT, Millville: White has added offers from Michigan State, UNC, Georgia Tech, Syracuse and Duke over the past month after putting forth an impressive performance at the Rivals Camp- Newark. White has the size to defend among the interior, and schools are betting that he will realize his potential of becoming a disruptive force as his technique continues to progress. Rutgers offer? Yes
7. Jason Cabinda (6-1, 210), LB, Hunterdon Central: Cabinda has seemingly come out of nowhere pulling in offers from Maryland, Syracuse, Temple, UMass, UConn, Navy and Boston College over the past three weeks. It appeared early on that he'd mainly be subjected to tenders from FCS institutions. From the beginning to the end of evaluation period, Cabinda is certainly in that top group when considering how far his recruitment has come over what amounts to a fraction of a month. Rutgers offer? No
6. Darius Slade (6-5, 240), DE, Montclair: Slade is quickly climbing the ladder, becoming a top 10 player within the state of New Jersey. Although raw, he is a long, athletic, aggressive play-maker off the edge. Six of his seven FBS offers have arrived during the evaluation period. The Scarlet Knights set it off this spring and have since been followed by offers from Boston College, Temple, UConn, Pitt, Michigan State and most recently, West Virginia. Rutgers offer? Yes
5. Adonis Jennings (6-3, 200), WR, Timber Creek: If Noah Brown has been the top player from the state of New Jersey throughout the spring camp circuit, then Adonis Jennings is 1B. And if this article were just about top spring camp performers, I'd be racking my brain as to whether to give the top spot to either Jennings or Brown. Jennings won MVP honors at the Nike Football Training Camp-Washington, D.C as well as Rivals Camp-Pittsburgh. He's added offers from Clemson, Arizona, UConn, Kansas, Indiana and Iowa this spring and was recently elevated to a 4-star prospect by Rivals.com. ESPN also has Jennings ranked a 4-star and the 132nd player in the entire country. Rutgers offer? Yes
4. Noah Brown (6-2, 220), WR, Pope John XXIII: I know, I know. Noah Brown is arguably the most talented guy on this list. However, he was somewhat established as the evaluation period came about, meaning he had less of a ways to rise. However, top performances at the NUC 5-Star Challenge, Nike Football Training Camp- New Jersey and Rivals Camp-Newark has made Brown one of the most coveted receivers across the country. He's added 11 offers over the past couple months including tenders from South Carolina, Michigan, Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Penn State and Notre Dame, to name a few. Rutgers offer? Yes
3. Mike Gesicki (6-6, 235), TE, Southern Regional: At the time the spring evaluation period began, Gesicki was gradually creeping towards becoming one of the top players in the state. Since then, he has added 11 offers including tenders from Miami, Wisconsin, Penn State, Vanderbilt and Florida State. His length and athleticism combined with his acute ability to catch the football has programs across the country salivating. The Alabama Crimson Tide have also stopped by Southern Regional for a visit and expressed strong interest in the elongated pass-catcher.Rutgers offer? Yes
2. Billy Ray Mitchell (6-3, 270), OT, Paramus Catholic: Is there a hotter offensive line prospect throughout the entire northeast? It's arguable that there isn't. Initially, it was unclear whether Mitchell would end up an FBS or FCS-level recruit. However, Mitchell has added 12 FBS offers since the early part of April, including tenders from Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, N.C. State, Syracuse, Cincinnati and Southern Miss. And there is a strong possibility he could be receiving an offer from Ole Miss towards the end of the week. Once Mitchell's junior film began to circulate and recruiters saw his ability to bend, his nastiness, efficient technique and overall athleticism, it was clear he would attain many options. Mitchell could become a top regional recruit depending upon how long he decides to let the recruiting process play out. Rutgers offer? No
1. Ryan Izzo (6-5, 220), TE: Pope John XXIII: Izzo may have been somewhat established prior to the evaluation period, but at the time, the Rutgers offeree was considered nowhere the caliber of prospect he is today. He's added 12 offers since the beginning of April, but it's the caliber of offers he's achieved: Michigan State, Boston College, Missouri, South Florida, and he capped it all off in picking up tenders from Florida State, USC and Wisconsin all in one day. Rutgers offer? Yes
Class of 2015:
12. Jamie Gordinier (6-4, 231), DE, Red Bank Catholic: Gordinier received a ranking of 90 and a 4-star grade via 247Sports.com. Iowa, Virginia Tech, Maryland and UNC are just some of the programs to stop by RBC to inquire about him. Rutgers offer? No
11. Daiquan Kelly (6-3, 190), WR, Union City: Kelly picked up his first offer from Virginia, and then second from UMass, over the evaluation period, benefiting from the expansive coaching traffic passing through the Union City school. Rutgers offer? No
10. Cinjun Erskine (6-2, 200), ATH, Barnegat: Erskine picked up an offer from the University of Miami over the evaluation period, which could likely serve as a gateway offer for the athletic signal-caller. UMass has also extended a tender. Rutgers offer? No
9. Brandon Wimbush (6-2, 200), QB, St. Peter's Prep: Wimbush proved throughout camp season to have one of the strongest arms of any quarterback in the entire recruiting class of 2015. As he continues to work on adding touch to his release, his offer list of Rutgers, Miami, UConn, Maryland, Boston College, Virginia and Temple will only continue to grow. I mean, who hasn't been through St. Peter's Prep to inquire about him? Rutgers offer? Yes
8. Juwan Johnson (6-4, 190), WR, Glassboro: Johnson hasn't reported any offers during the evaluation period, but the Rutgers offeree is clearly one of the top prospects in the state, and maybe his entire class. Johnson toyed with the competition at both the NUC 5-Star challenge and Rivals Camp-Newark. And Alabama is just one of many schools to send recruiters through Glassboro to inquire about the long, athletic, explosive receiver. Rutgers offer? Yes
7. Tommy Hatton (6-3, 275), OL, St. Joseph Regional: Over the past couple months, Hatton added offers from UMass, UConn and Boston College to his Rutgers offer from February. A technician up front, he also put forth a solid performance at Rivals Camp- Newark. Rutgers offer? Yes
6. Kareem Ali (5-10, 170), CB, Timber Creek: During the evaluation period, Virginia, Pitt and Clemson added to Ali's offers from Rutgers, Old Dominion and Temple. Ali displayed his shut–down ability as well as competitiveness via the Nike Football Training Camp-Washington, D.C., and Rivals Camp-Pittsburgh, among others. Rutgers offer? Yes
5. Dontae Stirckland (5-11, 180), ATH, South Brunswick: Strickland added offers from Rutgers and Virginia over the evaluation period, with programs from around the country stopping by South Brunswick to inquire about him. Strickland's athleticism and ability to play multiple positions on the next level only adds to the intrigue of the blossoming prospect. Rutgers offer? Yes
4. Irvin Charles (6-4, 205), WR, Paul VI: Charles should serve as one of the top big receivers throughout the northeast. He's already off to a good start as Rutgers, Temple and UMass have offered over the past couple weeks. Rutgers offer? Yes
3. Steven Gonzalez (6-4, 315), OL, Union City: Gonzalez is on his way to becoming a national offensive guard prospect after picking up offers from South Carolina, Boston College, Virginia, UConn and UMass since the beginning of the evaluation period. Only a sophomore, he showed off his knack to out-compete upperclassmen putting forth impressive efforts at multiple off-season camps this spring. those events included the NUC-Five Star Challenge and Rivals Camp-Newark. Rutgers offer? Yes
2. Sam Madden (6-7, 330), OT, Barnegat: Madden has been able to capitalize on being one of the biggest and strongest high school football players in the entire country; and he's only 16 years old. Wisconsin, Miami, Iowa, South Carolina and Temple have added to his offer list this spring, with a Rutgers offer on the horizon, dependent upon when he next chooses to visit. He currently holds a total of eight tenders. Rutgers offer? No
1. Minkah Fitzpatrick (6-0, 185), CB, St. Peter's Prep: Rated 247Sports.com's top player from the Garden State within the class of 2015, Fitzpatrick has added seven offers over the spring evaluation period. His most recent tender was attained from from Penn State where he camped this past weekend. Miami (Fla.), Ohio State, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, Boston College and Virginia are the other schools to recently extend offers to Fitzpatrick, one of the top players in the country. Rutgers offer? Yes
Honorable Mention:
Austin Stevens, DE, Montclair (Rutgers offer); Michael Dogbe, DE, Parsippany Hills; Steve Shanley, QB, Paramus Catholic; Quai Jefferson, WR, St. Joseph-Montvale; Donald Bedell, DE, Rumson-Fair Haven; Rodney Williams, WR, Cherry Hill West; Alec Bowman, OG, Paramus Catholic

Do you love making easy Christmas ornaments with your kiddos? A craft they can do all by themselves and be proud of? Me too!
My boys loved this simple paper ornament craft idea. It's as easy as 1-2-3! We picked our supplies up at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores:
- DCWV The Holiday Cheer Stack
- Paper trimmer
- Stapler and staples
- Small hole punch
- Embroidery thread to hand them on the tree
And here are the easy steps:
- Cut strips of paper (I chose this DCWV stack because it's double sided) 1″ wide
- Cut the paper again in varying heights: 6″, 5″ and 4″
- Take two 6″ strips, two 5″ strips and one 4″ strip, staple the top, pinch the bottom even and staple again!
If you want to hang or use as gift wrap decorations, just punch a small hole in the top of the ornament and thread with embroidery thread.
As always, I hope you're inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate!
This #papercraftedChristmas project was created in partnership with JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores and DCWV. The Celebration Shoppe did receive compensation and supplies, but all opinions and ideas are my own. You know I'd have it no other way! And make sure you check out my DIY advent calendar too!

A 640-acre wildfire erupted near the central Oregon town of Madras late Friday, but officials say they have a good handle on it.
Meanwhile, the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said the threat of a big lightning storm in the Cascades this weekend has "dissipated."
"We're expecting lightning in central and eastern Oregon tomorrow," said Paul Ries, a spokesman with the wildfire-monitoring agency, "but the severity of the event probably will be much less than we feared earlier in the week."
The Jersey Two fire 17 miles north of Madras started about 6:15 p.m. Friday, throwing up a massive cloud of smoke that could be seen in the small town in the east Cascade foothills.
The blaze is burning along the Deschutes River in light grass on U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land near South Junction, Ries said. So far, it has only required four engines and about 20 "hand crew" firefighters, he added.
"Helicopters are available," Ries said. "But it's not too big. The report is they have a pretty good handle on it. Of course, things could change."
Conditions on the week-old Cold Springs fire on Mount Adams have changed for the better.
Ries said the creeping blaze, now at 7,956 acres, grew only 40 acres in the past 24 hours. It is now 50 percent contained.
It's still unclear how the Jersey Two fire near Madras started. "We're investigating that," Ries said. "There have been a rash of human-caused fires in recent weeks in central Oregon."
The Lower Deschutes River remains open for recreation. However, authorities said rafters should be cautious when floating through the South Junction area.

Hello All,
I was having lunch with my closest friends the other day and our pregnant friend was talking about all the classes she had signed up for (including a BF class). I told her that although I hadn't taken a class it was sounded like fun... well our other friend (who did not BF -- well actually I am the only one of my small group who BF) made a comment that at least her husband didn't have to go. I disagreed and said that husbands can be a great support when BF. I then said that I felt very lucky that my husband has been so supportive and made the comment that I had no idea I would be BF a toddler...
THEN.......... she said "Well, you are disgusting...."
This is not only one of my best friends, this is my son's God Mother. I was in shock. I was so pissed that I lashed back... and now I am too annoyed to even look at her.
How could someone I trusted be so mean?
I am sad and sickened. What is wrong with people and why should I be shamed for doing what is best for MY CHILD?
BTW, I have never BF in front of her.

The sacrifice of a queen in the course of a game is something all chess players would like to have a taste of. The opportunity does not come easy, but when it does, we're always too eager to play it. Just imagine yourself slamming your queen down on the board for the last time before it is removed, and then going on to avenge her with a vengeance. You would probably bask in the glory of that brilliant sacrifice for years to come!
Well, for those who love attacking chess, or sac-ing queens for that matter, here's yet another beautiful piece for you to savour! This game, though probably not as fascinating as that of Topalov and Kramnik in the World Championship Match 2006, is definitely not one you should miss.
In this game, Black, International Master Ashot Nadanian plays his pet opening the Budapest Gambit against Grandmaster Wu Shaobin and goes on to prove this "dubious" opening really does offer some really cool attacking chances! So, sit back, remember to open the movelist, and lets go!
Hope you enjoyed the game as much as I have enjoyed annotating it! Look out for more of my Budapest games! Till then! (Just a note: for those who haven't read my article on the Most Exciting game of 2006, do go take a look! Its really worth your time!)
Tim Wee, Singapore 21/8/2007
i have had games where i offer up my queen for free but my foe sees the trap and does not take. sigh it would be awesome to force them to take the queen.
crazy!! Shud try ..........
What an amazing and brilliant victory for black! The game will make you wish you could do that!
Really a very good game & we can learn a lot from this game
Congratulations! Very good game!
nice game
Haha, yeah, I'm really happy to have such trainers who have such amazing games! But yeah, not everyone can play the Budapest, those who prefer more solid games should stick to the other main lines I guess.
Most coincidentally, this very game which I have annotated has been published in a british chess magazine (whose name i cannot remember at present), and annotated by a good friend of Ashot! (just some background, both ashot and wu are trainers at my country)
The annotator, if you've heard about him before, is IM Tibor Karolyi, a well known trainer who gives really good opening preparation! Anyway, he described Ashot as "Kasparov's half brother", stating the similarities between them, such as their readiness to take risks (especially in Kasparov's earlier chess life!). It's a very good article and he delved into many more alternatives than myself. Perhaps you might want to see it and some other really crazy games when Ashot wins with his wing attacks against some other very good players!
Will provide the name and edition next time =)
This game remember me "The game of the century" match between Donald Byrne and Bobby Fischer on October 17th, 1956.

This is to say "thank you" to Mr. Floyd Orn of Bark River. He wrote in support of a woman's right to have their health insurance cover contraception. I am so grateful that a man is standing up to the religious fanatics, mostly male, who keep confusing the issue. I agree that this is health matter having nothing to do with religion. If everyone who supports Mr. Orn and myself would stand up and say so, maybe we can put this weary old subject to rest and move on to more important things.

|[TenTec] 23 Cent Morse Key for SKN

Bill & the TenTec Gang - While we're on the subject of keyers for SKN you might try the PopTop Keyer by N5RLJ. It is an interesting design based on the top of a Snapple bottle. Turns out that the safety button that pops up to indicate the original seal is broken makes a pretty good keying device. Hold in one hand and key away to heart's content. Contact N5RLJ for detailed plans -- the standard disclaimer applies that I own no stock in Dave's PopTop Keyer company! Look for NO5W in SKN/Chuck William F.

In this the home stretch of college football recruiting, many programs are balancing their weeks between game-planning and hustling recruits. Programs are trying to nail down recruiting visits so as to get prospects on campus to show off the school's training facilities and game-day atmosphere.
There's recruiting visits going on week in and week out throughout the season, and this past weekend was no different. This upcoming weekend has several top recruiting visits scheduled for a number of major programs.
Let's take a look at which visits could lead to a commitment.

Greetings folks,
So as Summer is upon us, I like many enjoy a good cocktail/beer. Whether its's a wedding, birthday or just the weekend I enjoy having a couple adult beverages every now and then. However, I am training and don't want to experience diminishing returns. I know, I know - ideally I shouldn't drink at all. But when I do, I'd like to have an option other than a Vodka Soda. Any recommendations of what I can drink that won't kill my training?
Please chime in. Thank you all in advance.
- Nams
if there is a God Bryan Frank and Janie Hayes will chime-in.
My 2 cents: I went 2 seasons (2011 and 2012) 100%-ish dry and one (Dec 2012-May 2013) 100%-ish drunk with no structured training (but keeping very active). I only lost 54 minutes in my IM time and had a jolly all time. My drinks of choice were: Pinot Noirs, beer, apple cider, and pear cider. No Vodka; I get a little crazy with Vodka and usually end up regretting the night.
Great question! I think that as long as you are training properly along with adequate nutrition it's okay to have an adult beverage from time to time. Just be smart when you do, like not days leading up to a race.
My motto is moderation is the key. To me, it's all part of training.
The simple explanation: Alcohol is alcohol, no matter what form it's in. It interferes with recovery and performance.
The nerdy explanation: alcohol interferes with secretion of [naturally occurring] human growth hormone (HGH) and makes the body release other hormones which have toxic effects on the "good" hormones that play a vital role in recovery. Additionally, gluconeogenesis is inhibited and your cells stop producing ATP (your energy source!). I won't even go into how it dehydrates you.
Do I abide by this all the time? Certainly not.
Do as Hugh recommends - moderate your drinking. I would further add, moderate even more before and after your big workouts. Also, moderate your moderation and have fun, too.
Fun reading with some suggestions to minimize the effects of alcohol on performance.
For what it's worth, I'm partial to scotch, bourbon, and wheat beers. Haven't let me down during the season, yet!
It's a fun topic to debate and it really depends on how well you handle your alcohol and how well you recover. I drink anything and everything with special preferences for tequila, gin, bourbon, beer, wine... oh well, hell, everything. Some people get hangovers pretty easily (and that can be without even getting drunk), but if a few drinks don't knock you out for the following day's workouts, then I don't see the harm.
I have cut out alcohol twice before when training for races and I will say that they have been my worst races. For me to not drink is to do something new before/on race day. So now, I just drink whatever and whenever I want. I did a race a few years ago possibly still drunk and placed 3rd in my age group. I did Kinetic Half Iron Distance about 3 weeks ago and had four beers the night before the race. I won my age group and set a HIM and half marathon PR. If those are diminishing returns, then I could probably beat the Brownlee brothers if I gave up drinking....

Sorry Trevor, I don't trust any article that can't properly distinguish the correct grammatical usage of "effect" and "affect" :)
Actually, it's used correctly ;)
"Effect" is the noun form, which is used properly as the object being possessed (Its).
You know as well as I do, scientists can't spell for shit, anyways. We took biology and chemistry, our spelling mattered only if it was NaCl, C2H6O, or Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis; we weren't English majors ;) Proven by your purporting a grammatical error.
I like Margaritas with lots of salt :)
"Effects" (noun) is the direct object to the pronoun/verb, "Its" A direct object is noun which receives the action from the verb.
"It has effects on performance" vice "It affects performance."
And yes, I had to look up the proper grammar identifiers. Couldn't find my MLS style handbook....
In the link name: http://athletics.macalester.edu/custompages/Deno_Videos/nutrition/nutrition_affects_of_alcohol.pdf
Proper usage: "nutrition effects of alcohol"
First paragraph:
Precision, equilibrium, hand-eye coordination, judgment, ability to process information, focus, stamina, strength, power, and speed are all negatively effected for many hours after blood alcohol levels return to 0.0%.
Proper usage: "...are all negatively affected for...." :)
...I thought this thread was going to be fun :(
GADZOOKS! Sorry that I doubted you. I didn't even read the first couple paragraphs.
And Pam, this thread would be much more fun with jello shots.
This thread is making me reconsider my choices in life. Especially with Brian's input.
I do remember questioning the number of beers Bryan drank the night before IMLP 2011. But when he lapped me on the run I quickly stopped judging. I also know that even if Bryan is completely drunk, we should NEVER question his grammar.
I have cut out alcohol for 2-3 months before my two IM races. Performance-wise, I'm not fast enough for it to have a significant effect on my race time. But the reduction in calories causes me to drop weight very quickly. Both because of the reduction in beverage calories AND by reducing the quality of meals that I tend to combine with alcohol (Bacon Cheeseburgers and French fries).
As a happy medium, I tried to create a plan for moderation by not drinking on consecutive days and only one day a week allowing myself more than two drinks. Anyone who has spent time with me recently knows that I'm not currently following this plan.
Current drink of choice: good bourbon.
I like water.
-Andy Sovonick of Gaithersburg
Thanks for the responses.
It wasn't my intentions to turn this into such a hilarious post but I guess it happens.
I think I may consider Bryan's approach. Thanks for the influence!
I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly...
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! While "affect" is generally a verb and "effect" is generally a noun, there are exceptions:
Effect can be a verb specifically when it means "to directly cause" and affect is a noun when it refers to emotional state. MY LINGUISTICS DEGREE IS WORTH SOMETHING!
More importantly, while Bryan is obviously an ethanol-powered superhuman, some of us are still regretting that we stayed up drinking the night before the Philadelphia Marathon and ended up missing our goal time by five minutes.
...now to go for a run and crack open a cold one. Nessie out.
where's the creativity here? haven't folks found other options of desired effect without the issues? Where's Lance?

Jessica Simpson is a new mommy! She gave birth to a MONSTROUS 9 pound, 13 ounce baby girl. That's like 3 ounces shy of being a 10 pounder!
She named her daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson.
Meanwhile, some forensic's expert with too much time on his hands was able to come up with a photo of what Jessica's new baby might look like in a few years. It's borderline creepy:
So, it's time for you to decide. Is this CUTE or is it extremely CREEPY?

AUBURN, Alabama -- Philip Lutzenkirchen is a senior player, spokesman and observer of the Auburn football team, so we'll let him update the state of the Tigers in the video heading into Saturday's scrimmage in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
He says it's good, and the battle for starting jobs makes it so. He also said his backups, Brandon Fulse and C.J. Uzomah, are having good camps.
"There are a lot of young guys fighting for positions," he says.
Lutzenkirchen missed spring practice because of off-season shoulder surgery, but he says he's been back at full strength for some time.
Coach Gene Chizik said Friday that Lutzenkirchen's "No. 1 challenge right now is, 'can he be a physical perimeter blocker. We know he can catch the ball

So I left off at our trip to Berlin…well that week that we got back was Juwenalia here in Krakow. Basically it is a student holiday. Classes are cancelled on Friday and it's a week and weekend full of concerts and parties. The biggest day was Friday when the march took place. There are like 6 or 7 universities here in Krakow, so obviously it is a student city. This celebration is a way of the city showing it's gratitude to the students. A march takes place from the student dorms to the main market square. Everyone gets all dressed up in crazy outfits for it. In reading about it before hand, I believe the tradition is that at the end of the march the students are given the key to the city gates for the weekend. Again, basically just a way of showing appreciation to the students and telling them to have a good time! I did not have a costume but I did join in the march and got plenty of pictures of everyone else's costumes!
I did go to one of the concerts Saturday night as well, which was pretty good. There were about 6 different bands performing, one of which was actually called Iowa Super Soccer, or something like that. Well after they were done I was in line for the bathrooms and the main singer was right there, so I asked her how they came up with the name. She pretty much said it was just three random words. They were Polish and had never been to Iowa, but it was pretty neat that Iowa was one of those three random words! Haha! Anyway, I told her then that I was actually from Iowa. I could tell she didn't know very much English but she understood what I said and she thought it was pretty cool!
Other than having Juwenalia, I would have to say that week was possibly one of the hardest weeks here for me. I was to that point that I had been here almost three months now and was getting really homesick and just sick of everything here. I needed a break from it all. Fortunately I only had a couple of days until Brandon was coming out to spend the week with me, which is what my next entry will be about! So please enjoy my crazy pictures from Juwenalia and I will soon be working on the entries from my week with Brandon as well as this past weekend in Budapest!

Virginia, MN (NNCNOW.com) - Police say they've nabbed one of the men who held up the Virginia Cooperative Credit Union with a gun this week.
The robbery happened Tuesday afternoon.
Police say one of the men flashed a gun and ordered everyone in the bank to the floor.
Another man went behind the counter and took cash.
Through the work of the Virginia Police along with the FBI, St. Louis County Sheriff and Eveleth Police, a 26-year-old man is behind bars in the St. Louis County jail awaiting charges of 1st degree aggravated robbery.
He's expected to be arraigned in court on Monday.
Police are still looking for the second suspect.

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Before a bill is ever introduced that could merge Flint and county district courts and close six satellite courts, groups have started to speak out against the idea.
"It could be a real cost to small villages and cities, and for senior citizens, parking is terrible in Flint," said Otisville Mayor Tom Bess Jr., who has a satellite court in Davison, about nine miles from his village. "The further government gets from the people, the less we are well represented."
A spokeswoman for the State Court Administrative Office confirmed the agency is coordinating talks aimed at court reforms here but said the discussions are preliminary.
Here are some of the groups that have already voiced opposition to some of the changes that are being discussed.
- The Davison Township Board of Trustees approved a resolution opposing the elimination of Davison District Court, saying that eliminating the satellite court there "would negatively impact the police budget of the township by way of increased costs for police staffing and overtime costs by not having a local court."
- Genesee County Association of Chiefs of Police President Mark R. Hoornstra said in a letter that his membership unanimously voted to oppose consolidation legislation. Hoornstra is the city of Flushing's police chief.
- The Genesee County Landlord Association -- in a resolution opposing the merger -- said, "the people want their local courts ... The people like the fact that they can go to a local courthouse in their local community and not have to travel long distances for justice."
- The county Small Cities & Villages Association voted unanimously to leave outlying courts as they are. "Consolidated ... courts would be detrimental to the small cities and villages in our county," President Ray Foust wrote in letter to commissioners. "With the decrease in revenue sharing, municipalities are struggling with their budgets and an increase in police overtime would not be feasible."

If you're feeling sluggish today, just think of that MSU team bus, pulling into Breslin around 4:45 a.m. after an icy trek home.
Let's break it down. MSU is 12-6 with a top-10 strength of schedule and a top-20 RPI rating. There are 12 games left in the regular season. I believe a 7-5 finish will wrap up a bid for the Spartans -- although they'd be wise to follow that up with one win in the Big Ten Tournament, just in case. But a 7-5 finish means a 19-11 overall record -- and an 11-7 record in a good (not as great as everyone thought entering the season, but still good) league.
An 11-7 record in the Big Ten, a win over Washington, strong SOS and RPI numbers and the name "Michigan State." That will do it. But can the Spartans do it?
Saturday at Purdue. I like Purdue in this game. A lot. If MSU finds a way there, we can revisit Big Ten title talk (although everyone in the league needs Illinois to beat Ohio State that day as well). But I expect a loss, and I expect plenty of resulting ledge walking, hand wringing and name calling from (some) fans.
Then MSU hosts Michigan and Indiana. I like the Spartans. A lot. Then a critical game at Iowa. MSU has to win that one, and if so it will be sitting at 7-3 with eight games to go.
Four road games -- at Wisconsin, at Ohio State, at Minnesota, at Michigan. Four home games -- Penn State, Illinois, Purdue, Iowa. From what I'm seeing, I think this team can split those, maybe even get five of them. That'll deliver MSU's 14th straight NCAA bid. And in this year more than any I can recall, that tournament will be wide open. Nothing approaching a dominant team in college basketball.
There, a little dose of sunshine to get you through a dreary Wednesday.
("SMH," by the way, is a textcronym I recently learned and have been itching to use. It stands for "shaking my head." Now I have to figure out a way to use my new favorite: ne14kfc. "Anyone for KFC?")

To the Editor:
I read with amusement George Anderson's letter, "No celebration for down-the-shore shark week."
Anderson's July 9 letter was full of hyperbole, but short on facts. He stated, "The shore communities of New Jersey should be obligated to protect people from these predatory creatures, even by destroying them if necessary."
Oh really? Of all the shark species that frequent New Jersey, only six are known to be man eaters. Most sharks, while looking ferocious, eat only small fish and krill.
According to the University of Florida Shark Attack Center, your chances of being attacked by a shark are just one in 11.5 million. On average, there are about 65 shark attacks worldwide each year; a handful are fatal. You are more likely to be killed by a dog, snake, or in a car collision with a deer.
So, to be safe, would we be better off killing all dogs, snakes and car drivers? Fortunately, killing is not necessary, but a few swimming tips can keep you safer from sharks.
1) Don't swim alone.
2) Don't swim at dawn or dusk. These times of the day are a fish's (sharks are fish) favorite time of the day to feed.
3) Don't swim with a dog. The doggy paddle sends off vibrations that attract sharks.
4) Don't wear anything shinny or sparkly while swimming. To a fish, you look like a fishing lure.
5) Finally, when swimming way out from shore, listen to the lifeguard if he or she calls you in. The lifeguard is trying to prevent you from potentially drowning and becoming a target of opportunity for large fish, including sharks.
So, forget the silliness of the movie "Jaws." As in all things, be attuned to your surroundings. Listen to the lifeguards, and you will be safe and have fun at the beach.

Sunday, January 18
Metrorail will open at 7 a.m., close at midnight and charge off-peak fares throughout the day. Parking at Metrorail station parking lots will be free, though cars may not park overnight.
In anticipation of large crowds attending the Inauguration Opening Ceremony, Metrorail will operate extra rail service similar to a July 4th service pattern.

If necessary, extra trains will be placed into service to accommodate the crowds attending the Inauguration Opening Ceremony. Metro will operate a combination of six- and eight-car trains throughout the day.
Patrons attending the Inauguration opening ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial are encouraged to use the Farragut North, Metro Center, Farragut West, McPherson Square, Federal Triangle, Smithsonian, L'Enfant Plaza and Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter Metrorail stations. Due to the closure of Arlington Memorial Bridge to automobile and pedestrian traffic, Blue Line riders who may have been planning to exit at the Arlington Cemetery Metrorail station must stay on their train and exit at a downtown Washington train station to get to the events as they will not be able to cross the bridge. However, the Arlington Cemetery Metrorail station will remain open. The Theodore Roosevelt Bridge also is closed to traffic, but pedestrians are permitted to cross.
Metrobus will operate on a Sunday schedule with extra bus service available to Dulles International Airport via the 5A route and Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport via the B30 route.
Patrons using Metrobus in downtown DC may face delays due to crowded roads and detours.
MetroAccess will provide its regular service, however patrons may experience delays in the downtown Washington are due to traffic conditions and road closures.
Monday, January 19
Due to the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday the Metrorail system will operate on a Saturday schedule, opening at 5 a.m. and closing at 2 a.m. early on the morning of January 20. Off-peak fares will be charged and parking at Metrorail station parking facilities will be free due to the holiday, though there will be no overnight parking. Throughout the day, Metro will operate a combination of six- and eight-car trains. If necessary, depending on the size of crowds, Metro will place additional trains in service.
After midnight, all Red Line trains will operate 15 minutes apart, and all Blue, Orange, Yellow and Green Line trains will operate 20 minutes apart.
Due to security measures related to an Inauguration event, the Judiciary Square Metrorail station's F Street entrance will close at 7 p.m. The 4th Street entrance will be open for patrons to enter and exit all day until close.
Automobiles will not be permitted to enter Metro parking lots after 11 p.m. on Monday, January 19. Vehicles parked at Metro lots must leave by 2 a.m. or by the time the station closes, soon after 2 a.m. or risk being ticketed and towed. Metro's parking lots will reopen at 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 20.
Metrobus and MetroAccess will operate on a regular weekday schedule. Some bus routes and MetroAccess routes in downtown Washington may face delays due to traffic conditions.
People can sign up for special e-alerts, dedicated to the Inauguration, on Metro's Web site at http://www.wmata.com/inauguration. E-alerts will be issued when Metro has news relating to service for the Inauguration, and, perhaps more importantly, when there may be service disruptions during the course of the four-day Inauguration Weekend.
News release issued at 10:12 am, January 16, 2009.

The safety with regard to bleeding complications of endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) of hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy has been well established. The real-time visualization of targeted and surrounding structures allows the operator to avoid puncturing even small vessels. However, on occasions, the only way to reach the target is by traversing vessels. We report 2 cases of right hilar masses that were successfully diagnosed with EBUS-TBNA performed by traversing the pulmonary artery without any complications. We suggest that transpulmonary artery needle aspiration can be safely conducted but should be performed only by experienced operators and should be reserved as a last resort for making a diagnosis.

Hosting a holiday gathering? Festive table decor is in order, of course. Fresh flowers, sugared fruit and sparkling ornaments are always pretty, but why not do something out of the ordinary this year? We've got just the idea, a showstopper that will look stunning on any table or buffet.
This centerpiece is called "Fire and Ice" because it combines lighted candles in a frozen block of ice. The work of art is easy to assemble and can be prepared weeks ahead of time. It is made in a plastic food storage container, and any size and shape will do as long as the sides are straight and smooth. For big impact, you could make several different shapes and sizes and line them down your table or tier them with pedestals for placement on a buffet.
Fresh pine, pine cones and Christmas balls are attractive fillers, or you can get creative with other items such as cranberries, cinnamon sticks, peppermint candies, even plastic figurines such as snowmen or Santas.
Be sure to use a deep-edged tray to catch the water. If necessary, remove the water with a turkey baster.
* Artificial or natural pine greens and pine cones
* Small colored plastic balls or ornaments
* Gold or other colored string beads
* Freezer-safe container with smooth, straight sides
* Distilled water
* Tea light candles in clear containers
* Deep-edged tray or platter to hold centerpiece
* Fresh greens
To assemble
* Place greens, pine cones, balls and beads in freezer-safe container, using enough so they stay in place when water is added and arranging them so they touch the sides of the container. Carefully add distilled water to within 1 inch of the top of the container.
* Float tea lights on top of the water. Place on a flat surface in the freezer; freeze overnight or until solid.
* About 15 minutes before unmolding, remove container from freezer. Let stand at room temperature until ice releases from sides of container.
* Trim or fold paper towel so it is a bit smaller than the centerpiece and place on deep-edged tray or platter. If water needs to be removed, a turkey baster works great. Place centerpiece on top of paper towel to keep it from sliding. Add fresh greens around base of centerpiece.

Coral Quincy Chair
Reviewed by 2 customers
Comments about Coral Quincy Chair:
I bought this chair on sale and absolutely love it. Not only does it provide a unique accent to my living room, it's comfortable to sit in as well. The color is my favorite aspect, it's a bit brighter than pictured and is more coral than red. The quality seems solid and it was fairly easy for me to put together by myself. So glad that I purchased it!
Comments about Coral Quincy Chair:
I own this chair in another color (a reddish color from 3 years ago). After 3 years of regular use as an office chair, an accent chair, and a primary seat during home renovations, I can honestly say that this chair is still in excellent condition. I am pretty hard on furniture since I have only a few pieces in a small downtown condo, but it has handled myself, guests, and pets well over the years.

TRENTON — As Revolutionary War heroes raised muskets to their shoulders and fired cannons in the streets of Trenton and fields of Princeton, many buildings involved in the skirmishes housed and sheltered the Patriots fighting for American freedom.
Many of those historic structures stand in their original places today, and some have been preserved and altered throughout the years to serve as testaments to their 18th-century pasts.
Those interested in learning about their original purposes, locations, restoration efforts and project challenges met inside the Joseph Stokes library at the Masonic Temple on
Barrack Street yesterday afternoon as part of the city's 10th annual Patriots Week celebrations.
Historians discussed the challenges of preserving historic structures on battlefields, including the Old Barracks that quartered soldiers; Petty's Run, a small, since-buried creek that powered steel, cotton and paper mills; the Alexander Douglass House that Washington made his headquarters; and the Thomas Clarke House which served as Gen. Hugh Mercer's hospital during the Battle of Princeton.
"We need to think of how we can connect the dots with Princeton and beyond so that the story of these extraordinarily important battles can be told in a way that makes more sense and attracts more people to the region," said John Hatch, architect of Clarke Caton Hintz who moderated the event. "There's many layers of history, and that's part of what makes it exciting to be in Trenton and in this area."
The Old Barracks Museum, which joins the Trent House as the two nationally recognized landmarks in Trenton, was built in 1758 after local residents petitioned for a place to quarter soldiers during the French and Indian War, said Richard Patterson, director of the museum.
"Trying to get an image of what the Old Barracks looked like is difficult," he said. "We have no period drawings of it, and the earliest photographs of parts of it come from about the turn of the last century."
In 1902 around the 125th anniversary of the Battle of Trenton, members of various chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution incorporated as the Old Barracks Association.
After raising $6,000 to purchase what was the south wing, members opened that section as the Old Barracks Museum in October 1903, Patterson said.
It continues to serve as a museum today as tours are given by actors who present a picture of what life was like in the 18th century.
"The way they managed to furnish the building was that each of these Colonial chapters, plus the Colonial dames, took a room or rooms and furnished those rooms with their antiques, not all of which were perfectly 18th-century," Patterson said. "From a preservation standpoint, it was quite interesting because they brought in one of the first of professionals that could really be looked at as a historic architect."
The Petty's Run archeological dig, named after the since-buried creek that ran through the site, unearthed history dating back to Native Americans who used the creek as a source of fresh water and a steel furnace built by Benjamin Yard in 1745.
It was saved two years ago from the backhoe and was opened again this May, giving visitors, history buffs and students on class trips a peek into one facet of Trenton's native and industrial past.
After a state committee voted to fill in the dig in 2010, citing the high cost of keeping the attraction open, local legislators and historians fought back, pressing the state to continue funding it instead of burying a piece of Trenton's history.
As a result, the state's Department of Environmental Protection and Mercer County partnered in 2011 to restore, run and maintain Petty's Run for the next 10 years.
The mills founded in Trenton as early as 1731 were probably not in production at the time of the fighting but still played an important role in the larger war, said Richard Hunter, founder and president of Hunter Research, a historical and archaeological consulting firm.
The Petty's Run site, which Hunter described as "literally a microcosm of industrial history in the Delaware Valley," presented its own challenges to architectural restoration and rehabilitation, he said.
"We're dealing with outdoor ruins. It is much more exposed to the elements, so you have issues of water, vegetation, animals, and you have to contend with all of these things," he said.
Though the site as a tourist spot is still in its early days, visitation has been strong, Hunter said. But short and long-term maintenance is still an issue, he said.
"No formal maintenance plan has been devised. There are short-term maintenance tasks for the Statehouse grounds staff to tend to, things such as litter removal and removing weeds, collecting leaves," he said. "The masonry is going to deteriorate. The interpretive signs have a roughly 15-year life. The fencing will need painting. There's the moisture buildup and the discoloration of the walls to be concerned about."
The 18th-century Douglass House where Washington had his council of war prior to the Battle of Assunpink on Jan. 2, 1777 "evolved over time," having been moved three times from its original location on South Broad Street to Centre Street to finally where it stands now in the Mill Hill section of the city, said Margaret Westfield, a partner of Westfield Architect and Preservation Consultants who did work on the exterior restoration of the house in 2007.
"The significance is that people cared enough to save this building by moving it three times, she said.
"In my opinion, it's significant because of the concern that was shown in the early 20th century to save it in recognition of its historic past."
The Clarke House, built by Thomas Clarke in 1775, served as a hospital for Mercer who died there nine days later after the Battle of Princeton, said Kip Cherry, first vice president of the Prince-ton Battlefield Society.
In March, restoration efforts will begin on the building on Mercer Road. Rotted posts will be cut out and replaced, and as work continues, the plan is for the public to be able to watch the work being done, serving as a "live exhibit" to see the restoration work in real time, Cherry said.
"Hopefully we can get a visitor's center constructed," she said.
"It was often referred to as Mercer's house because he died there. We don't hear that much about him now, but at the time, he had come out of the French and Indian War as a hero and was considered a great hero of the American Revolution."
Patriots Week continues today at the State Museum on West State Street with an exhibition tour titled "Lenni Lenape, N.J.'s Early People" in which archaeological artifacts will be on display documenting the state's Native American history before the Revolutionary War.
Tomorrow at Princeton Battlefield State Park on Mercer Road, a real-time tour of the Battle of Princeton begins at 7:30 a.m. Historians will discuss how the troops lined up, initiated their attacks and won the battle.

Missing assignments.
Those two little words speak volumes to the people who are educating your kids.
Because any teacher will tell you - unequivocally - that most of the time students do not fail classes because they can't learn the material. Students fail classes because they don't do the assignments required to learn the material.
That long strip of white next to a student's name in the grade book - where grades should be - is at the crux of a whole bunch of what ails education today.
Too many kids just don't turn in work.
It's the end of the marking period, and many parents will soon be astounded to learn that Junior has umpteen missing assignments. "But I ask him every day if he has homework, and he always says no!" will be their helpless response, followed by an irritated, "Why wasn't I told about these missing assignments?"
But teachers are equally irritated when parents express surprise. After all, parents have only their own children's homework to monitor. A teacher handles hundreds of homework grades. Teachers think it's only reasonable for parents to be active in their own child's education.
Classroom Web site tools like SchoolFusion and Parent Web make communication between parents and teachers easier. A parent can log on and track homework assignments and tests. My guess is that it's immensely helpful to the parents who are already committed to monitoring schoolwork and communicating with teachers. I'm not so sure that it has the power to harness the time and attention of apathetic parents.
So, is it unrealistic to require students to take responsibility for their learning by doing some work outside of class? We have to assume no, it's not unrealistic to require kids to do class work and homework, especially in light of the new, more rigorous graduation requirements mandated by the state. Because if that's unrealistic, then what is the point of the tougher requirements?
As it is, educators spend inordinate amounts of time and energy trying to get kids to turn in their assignments. After all, they can't grade it if it's not there.
Or can they?
In an effort to have fewer Es on their record books, schools are getting creative. Some have implemented policies that do not allow teachers to give students zero credit for assignments not turned in. So, if a teacher makes an assignment worth 10 points, and a student does not turn it in, the teacher is still required to give them 4 points, making it possible for them to pass the class doing little or no work.
Sadly, such unintentional lessons can be as powerful as the intentional ones.
When was the last time you did nothing and got 40 percent credit for it?

Hi there All,
I have asked this question over at StackExchange but have not got a proper responce so I thought I would aks here!
I am just beginning to dip my toe into game programming and have been reading up on all the different API's out there like SDL, SFML, OpenGL, XNA, MonoGame and of course DirectX. (Needless to say there are a lot of choices out there)
As much as I like SFMLs object oriented syntax I have chosen to read up and start with SDL as it is pretty ubiquitous and available on every platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) and also available on portable devices (Android, iOS) with the current exception of WinPhone 7. Plus there are lots of tutorials on the net about it.
After that pre-amble here is my question.
I notice that the docs say that for the windows platform the SDL API calls through to DirectX for higher perf. ( http://www.libsdl.org/intro.en/whatplatforms.html )
Microsoft have said that for Metro Game Apps you can only use DirectX (which means no XNA, no OpenGL, no SFML, etc, etc)
My question is: If SDL just wraps DirectX calls will I (we) be able to use SDL to bring games to the new Metro WinRT environment and Windows 8 marketplace?
This would be great if possible. Additionally as WinPhone 8 is supposedly built on Win8 then this could mean SDL would be available on the win phone in the future too.
My first question again is, am I right in saying that SDL uses DirectX on windows? The documentation seems to say that but other people in forums write that it targets OpenGL?
My Second question is, if SDL does target DirectX then should we be able to target Metros Apps going forward?
I have installed Visual Studio 11 (beta) in Windows 8 Consumer Preview (CP) and went file->New to check project types.
The project types that look of interest to me are:
"Blank Application",
"Direct2D Application"
"Direct3D Application"
I have generated a simpel "Direct2D App" but when you make calls through to SDL it generates its own seperate window when you call: SDL_INIT.
My third question is: Is it possible to link/setup the SDL window to point to the Direct2D surface in the this project?
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this post and secondly for your time in responding to this question and I look forward to hearing your response.
PS: I am a complete newbie in this area and am just looking for the best API library that targets as many systems as possible and from what I have read SDL seems to fir that bill.

Shakespeare here
"For those staging A Comedy of Errors, the play's name may seem like a bad joke. A mistake is no laughing matter when it comes to maintaining the precision this slippery piece of drama demands. Our production is intensely disciplined, says Amy Thone, who plays the shrewish Adriana in the Seattle Shakespeare Festival's rendition that comes to the BPA Playhouse Friday. It's like a dance - nobody can afford to miss a beat. And Shakespeare's play certainly keeps audience and actors on their toes. His tale of Aegeon - a merchant of Syracuse, whose wife and twin sons, both named Antipholus, are separated from him and each other in a storm - goes from complicated to bewildering. The twins grow up in the warring countries of Ephesus and Syracuse until their paths cross later in life when the jealous Adriana mistakes Antipholus of Syracuse for Antipholus of Ephesus, her husband. Meanwhile, old Aegeon's search for his family leads him into captivity in the enemy land of Ephesus, and the riddling errors do not resolve themselves until Adriana discovers two husbands.On one hand, Shakespeare's romp is simply a story with a happy ending. On the other, the play charts such a journey of self-discovery for all on stage as to spark from the plot questions the characters are not sufficiently well-developed to answer. Small wonder Altwies, who plays Antipholus of both Syracuse and Ephesus, says he was relieved to find in director Danny Sheie a man who thought he knew the answers. At drama school, we'd been led to believe those sorts of directors were the devil, he says, but I was surprised. Thone has other sources of clarification at her disposal. As educational director of the Seattle Shakespeare Festival, she cites The Taming of the Shrew (in particular the shrewish Kate), Twelfth Night (another twin-trouble play), and even Hamlet (with his to be or not to be problems of identity) as plays that thematically develop the issues appearing in embryo in the earlier The Comedy of Errors. As to the question of why Aegeon gives his sons the same name, however, or why Shakespeare elaborates on the play that originally inspired his comedy with the addition of twin servants both called Dromio, she concedes, Shakespeare revels in confusion, almost at the audience's expense. She and Thone can only assert their faith in an audience's ability to suspend disbelief.There are holes in the plot, but we glide over them if you give us the chance Altwies says.The BPA Playhouse houses the Seattle Shakespeare Festival's production of A Comedy of Errors, at 7 p.m. May 18, with all tickets $10, and at 7:30 p.m. May 19-20, with tickets $15 for students and seniors and $18 for adults. Tickets and information: 842-8569."

Tuesday's "American Idol" was more of a "Gong Show" than usual as the dynamic and delusional mingled during the Jacksonville, Fla., auditions.
First, there was gimmicky Joshua and his hokey "Let's Get It On," which somehow merited a golden ticket. (Do you ever wonder if the judges are hearing something different than we are at home?) Sharon, meanwhile, already had the Hollywood dog to go with her ticket to Hollywood; her pampered pooch sat on Simon's lap during her so-so performance.
Simon outdid himself in the skewering department, pitting one contestant, Kaneswa, against her mother, for Pete's sake! (He brought her mom into the room after Kaneswa's awful audition and asked her on national TV what she really thought of her daughter's singing. Ouch.)
Simon also made fun of Latina beauty queen Julissa's laugh (though she passed through to Hollywood), and his barbs reduced delusional Naomi to tears. Naomi thought she was hitting those sky high notes, and the judges thought she was screeching.
When she started crying, everyone but Simon came and wrapped her in a group hug. He sat there mystified. "What, me? Cut someone off at the knees?" One can almost read his mind.
But it was Kara who nabbed the quote of the night (usually it's Simon). Upon seeing "Dancing Darren" dissolve into tears after a terrible audition, she gave it to him straight: "If you can't take it in here, then we are doing you a huge solid," she said.
Umm, does anyone know what a huge solid is? I don't think I'm "smoove" enough to parse that.
Two to watch: Pretty Jasmine, who rocked a Fergie tune and showed great confidence, and Anne Marie, who got a do-over and came back with a smashing version of Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly."
Today: Salt Lake City? Bring on the Osmonds! (It looks like at least one Osmond offspring tries out. Can't wait to see how he does.)

The 220th anniversary of the Township of Springfield is April 14. On that date, the very first Township Committee meeting was held (Springfield had petitioned the State Legislature in 1793 to be recognized as independent of the Township of Elizabethtown). There will be a month-long celebration of this anniversary, kicking off with a concert of colonial music by the musical duo, The Tuckers at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 6.
Their performance will feature such songs from the colonial hit parade as "Antediluvians Were All Very Sober," "Battle of Trenton," "Four Drunken Maidens" and "Soldier Will You Marry Me?" along with more familiar tunes such as "Yankee Doodle," "Greensleeves," and "Water is Wide."
April 6 will also mark the opening of an exhibit at the library's Donald B. Palmer Museum of various items from the history of Springfield, including news coverage of significant events that mark the evolution of the township. The doors to the museum will open at 1 p.m. The Historical Society and the library will also have available for sale that afternoon a number of books and items pertaining to Springfield's history, including Images of America: Springfield, Phoebe's Notebook, and maps and informational booklets pertaining to the Battle of Springfield.
The library owns the original minutes of every township committee meeting from the first one held on April 14, 1794 through 1909. These are bound in a single volume and have recently been digitized. A facsimile copy of the entire volume was produced and is available to the public for perusal at the library. Another facsimile copy has been made and will be presented to the Township Committee at their meeting to be held on April 8.
Funding for this program is being made possible in part by the NJ Council on the Arts, Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, through a grant administered by the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.
The Springfield Free Public Library is located at 66 Mountain Ave. More information about the library can be found at springfieldpubliclibrary.com, by visiting the library's Facebook page or by calling 973-376-4930 during regular library hours.

At the time of the Civil War, there were many political parties to choose from. Parties had split over slavery, war, and the Union. One of the groups was called the Unconditional Union Party. This handbill was created to support them. They believed in preserving the Union at any cost. They wanted to end slavery. They also wanted to crush the rebels. Many people in Kentucky thought these were radical ideas.

Hmmm, where do I begin? First off, mixing patterns doesn't scare me. I think some people are afraid to mix multiple patterns because they don't know how to do it. For those who are nervous listen up!
Make sure one of your patterns is smaller than the other so it balances out. This is why polka dot and leopard are always a popular choice.
Stick with similar color tones or an item that has primary colors. I wouldn't wear neon on neon unless I was going to a rave or pastel on pastel unless it was Easter…on second thought actually no, I wouldn't wear those ever so scratch that. Leopard is great for mixing because it has the muted color tone already in it: cream, black, and brown…what doesn't go with that? It might be your best option starting out and then the more practice you have the braver your choices can get!

When Bill Houim started the current incarnation of Central Trenching Inc. in 2005, he vowed to keep things small, with only 15 to 20 employees on his payroll. Needless to say, he gets endless grief about that proclamation now that his employee count has soared well past the century mark.
This is actually Houim's second go-round with CTI. He originally started the company in Rugby in 1979 and did a variety of trenching work, laying underground cables for various businesses and utility companies. In 1999 he sold the company to MasTec, a large Florida business that dropped the CTI name and kept Houim on as a supervisor for the next six years.
Houim decided to leave MasTec and came to Minot to build his own business again. In April 2005 he started the second incarnation of Central Trenching Inc. Luckily for him, after MasTec dropped the name in 1999, no one else picked it up so Houim was able to secure it for his new business.
"Same name, different place," Houim said.
CTI does underground utility work for many different applications, although the main ones are telephone, power and cable TV.
"It's mainly the fiber optic systems that really keeps us busy," he said. "Fiber optic placement and splicing, all that type of thing."
Houim said the fiber optic boom started around 1990 or 1991, mainly between cities for long toll lines. For the past five or six years FTTH, or fiber to the home, has been growing in popularity. FTTH is fiber optic cable to residential areas and Houim said it provides much of the work his company does today.
"The capabilities are actually endless in a way. It can carry telephone, broadband, TV, data, whatever you want to do," he said. "That's a new and upcoming thing, that's the way it's going to be in the future."
The oil fields also provide CTI quite a bit of business. Most of that work involved directional boring to lay underground pipes.
"Through roads, sloughs, any hard surface they can't get through with an excavator, we go through," he said.
While Houim doesn't see the oil fields busting anytime soon like they did in the 1980s, he's not overly concerned about how long they will be around because he doesn't rely on them for his business.
"Granted we added on more people for that, which of course with the more work you have, the more people and more machinery," he said. "But if it does slow down, we won't be affected by it really. My primary (job) is still utility work, mainly local utilities."
With all this work in North Dakota, South Dakota and even some in Minnesota, Houim has had to constantly expand to keep up with it all. While expansion has been great for business, it also shot apart Houim's original ideas about how big he wanted the company to get.
"My clients always tease me. When I started this outfit in 2005, I said no more than 15, 20 people. I said no more than that, this is all I want. I came from MasTec and I was over about 70, 80 people there and got sort of tired of it," Houim said. "So right now we're up to about 150.
"In '05 we had about 30 people, then in '06 we went to 65, then in '07 we went to 135, then last year we were at 165. This year we're at about 155, in that area. It fluctuates some, people coming and going."
Houim has been in the trenching business for 31 years, and all his old contacts kept throwing work his way when he started up again in 2005. It was around that time fiber to the home really took off as well, and business just kept blossoming and hasn't faded since.
Houim said all of the communications and utlities have all been awesome to work for and have really helped him succeed beyond his wildest dreams.
After starting out with nothing, one of the biggest challenges Houim's faced has been finding enough room to expand. His original office was a two-stall garage he rented for a year behind Schatz Crossroads Truckstop on the U.S. Highway 2 & 52 Bypass. Five short years later CTI is located down the bypass a mile west of Behm's Truck Stop. The new corporate office is in the building formerly occupied by the Nickel Deuce Bar. It provides 9,600 square feet of space and remodeling was just completed this spring.
Numerous maintenance shops and equipment parking lots are springing up around it. A new fabrication shop and mechanic bay is being built next door that will be 90 feet by 120 feet. This is an addition to the existing 120-by-120-foot mechanic shop and 100-by-40-foot conference room and break room that were built two years ago and have already become cramped.
"I call it growing pains," Houim said. "You get bigger with machinery, then you get more work, then you get more work and you've got to have support for them, then you've got more support and you've got to have places for people to work in, of course."
"Minot's a very fortunate place to be right now," he added. We could be 300 or 400 miles to the east and we wouldn't be this way."
He's already purchased an additional nine acres near the office for more parking for all the big equipment he has. After starting out with nothing, Houim now has around 20 bulldozers, 30 trucks to haul equipment and more than 100 pick-up trucks, along with several directional borers, among other things.
While Houim seems to have started his company just when the perfect storm of utility and oil field work was brewing to ensure his success, he is quick to point out the real reason CTI has done so well.
"Working in Minot's been great, employees have been great, I couldn't have done it without all my good employees. I guess I can't take all the credit, they've done a lot of work, too," he said. "We work dark to dark, they put in a lot of good effort, a lot of good time. They made the company what it is."

PEAPACK AND GLADSTONE — Students at Gill St. Bernard's School may have forgotten to bring their homework to school on Friday, but they didn't forget their frozen turkeys.
The Peapack and Gladstone private school collected nearly 600 birds Friday morning during its annual "Take a Turkey to School Day" food drive, a tradition started by students seven years ago after a truck from the Community FoodBank of New Jersey lost its entire cargo of Thanksgiving turkeys a week before the holiday.
The whole school — about 700 students from pre-kindergarten up to grade 12 — gathered in the center of campus Friday morning to cheer on the count of the turkeys. While they waited, they sang and danced the "Turkey Lurkey" to the tune of the "Hokey Pokey" and other turkey-themed songs. Several teachers and students wore turkey costumes, while younger students wore turkey hats made out of paper.
The mood was upbeat, but the reason for the food drive wasn't far from students' minds.
"We're just trying to make the holiday season a little better for others," said Cos Arnett, a 17-year-old senior from Somerville.
Connor Milanaik, a senior from Mendham, said he likes the way the event brings the entire school together every year. Community service is not mandatory at the school, but nobody hesitates to take part, he said.
"Everyone is willing to jump in and help," he said.
And it couldn't have come at a better time, according to Anthony Guido, spokesman for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, which collects frozen turkeys and canned goods every year to distribute to charities. Last year, it gave away about 30,000 turkeys, he said.
Right now need is "off the charts," he said, with demand for food up 30 percent.
"The need is up so high that the food is flying out as soon as it comes in," he said. "We have some real barren parts in our shelves."
The school's library director Randell Schmidt, who helps organize the event each year, said it's her favorite day of the year. Students call her "turkey mom" for her enthusiasm.
"This is a way to show kids that humanity is one," she said. "That one person can fill the need of another person."
