Here is a look at recently released music.
Matt and Kim "Lightning"
A musical duo in a relationship that's named Matt and Kim sounds like it's fit for the back corner of a martini-soaked bar. But Matt and Kim are far from a lounge act. The two, Kim Schifino on drums and Matt Johnson on keyboards, are sufficient enough to get a huge sound out of their two instruments. They sound even bigger on "Lightning." The album is their most polished to date. On 2010's "Sidewalks," Matt and Kim started to add more elements into their music. The result was their fun, bouncy anthems turning into half-hearted dance songs. They've scaled down on the flair on "Lightning," striking a nice balance of simplicity and slick production. The first single, "Let's Go," fits in with the duo's early stuff while still slightly progressing their sound. "Much Too Late" is a caffeine-fueled romp that features, no pun intended, lightning-fast drums and keyboards. Matt and Kim are at their best when delivering quick bursts. They slip up on the album's closing track, "Ten Dollars I Found." The two try harmonizing with each other on the piano-only song, but probably would have been better keeping their frenetic pace. Still, there's enough energy on the rest of "Lightning" that they're allowed to take a breather on at least one track.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis "The Heist"
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis sure know how to make one heck of a rap album. "The Heist" may not feature a roster of recognizable guest vocalists. It's not full of songs about excessive lifestyles. Instead, it's an album with a lot of depth in both its lyrics and music. It's an album of stories about overcoming adversity told over complicated beats. Macklemore, a raspy-voiced rapper from Seattle, comes across as aggressive, yet endearing on songs such as "Ten Thousand Years" and "A Wake." His lyrics are candid throughout this album. Macklemore even tackles gay rights, something rarely done in rap and hip hop songs, on "Same Love." "If I was gay, I would think hip hop hates me," he sings over an airy piano-infused beat. A solid hook sung by fellow Seattle singer/songwriter Mary Lambert really completes this song. Macklemore is dialed down on this track. In other places, his delivery builds in intensity along with the music provided by DJ and producer Ryan Lewis. These songs feature multiple layers of beats stitched together into a fresh sound. Lewis even gets a chance to show off his abilities on "BomBom." While "The Heist" might not be backed by big-named performers, it's an intriguing album that deserves to be recognized for its complexity and originality.
NOFX "Self Entitled"
Not much has changed across NOFX's 12 albums. "Self Entitled" sounds much like the rest of the punk band's catalog. You've got your political songs ("Ronnie and Mags" and "72 Hookers") and your staple religion song ("Xmas Has Been X'ed). One thing that started to come across on the last album was polarizing frontman Fat Mike Burkett's willingness to show vulnerability. He offers up a little more of that on "Self-Entitled" with the songs "I, Fatty" and "I've Got One Jealous Again, Again." The latter talks about splitting up his belongings and his precious record collection with his ex-wife after their divorce. It's the sad end to a tale that began on 2003's "The War on Errorism" with the song "We Got Two Jealous Agains." That song chronicled the coming together of two music collections during a marriage. Now, Mike's house is gone, but he's still holding on to his Fugazi picture disc. Even with the inclusion of these songs, "Self Entitled" is still a predictable album. But hey, what NOFX album hasn't been predictable over the past 10 years? It's what their fans expect.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone in the office got along? Unfortunately, the realities of life often follow people to the office, and the same rules of social interaction apply in a professional setting.
Some people simply have personalities that do not mesh well with everyone else. Whether they are labeled annoying or irritating may simply be an issue of semantics, but the point is that they are not the most pleasant individuals to be around on a regular basis.
Identifying these individuals may be a key factor when it comes to getting work done and tolerating the office setting.
Granted, people should exercise some compassion for irritating individuals, but if people continue to engage in behavior that they may be able to control, there are certainly times when they should be avoided.
With that in mind, here are a the five most common types of annoying co-workers and tips on how to spot them.
No. 5: The Motormouth
Sometimes spotting the annoying co-worker isn't about seeing. Rather, it is about hearing, because this annoying co-worker is the one who is talking even though no one is listening.
A person could close her eyes, but unfortunately she cannot turn down the volume. It would be rude to ask questions such as, "Are you talking to anyone in particular, or are you just talking?"
Perhaps the annoying co-worker is uncomfortable with silence or maybe he just likes to talk. In either case, these are the types of people who keep the conversation going, even if there isn't any dialogue occurring.
There are times when people stop responding to the motormouth, but unfortunately constant talkers may miss the cue and keep right on yammering.
Of course, it could be worse. The irritating co-worker could have the ability to appear instantly in another place.
No. 4: The Teleporter
If a co-worker is annoying, there may be opportunities for people to get away. Unfortunately, a small office or adjacent working spaces can make this difficult.
In addition, some people just seem to have a unique ability to appear out of nowhere. A group of co-workers may be gathering to chat and the annoying person seems to just materialize.
This can also occur when people are trying to escape for lunch and the irritating colleague suddenly rounds the corner. Before people know it, they are reverting back to elementary school and shouting, "Look out! Here he comes! Go! Go! Go! Run for it!" This may be a bit sophomoric with elements of being mean-spirited, but escaping from the annoying co-worker sometimes requires some drastic strategies.
After all, people do not want to hear the biography of irritation yet again.
No. 3: The TMIer
Constant talking has been mentioned as sign that a person is an irritating co-worker. However, sometimes annoyance stems from content rather than sheer volume.
These are the types of people who lack a "filter" to their speech.
It is certainly nice to get to know people, but typically this happens when there is a mutual interest in deepening a relationship. When people openly share their inner secrets, their dating results, and their personal habits, it can make the workplace definitively uncomfortable.
Again, there is a level of compassion that should be exercised, as this may be a sign that the person is crying out for help. However, caring about a co-worker does not mean that people must listen to everything that they say on a daily basis.
As the world has advanced, irritating workers have also started to make their presence known on the World Wide Web.
No. 2: The E-Mail Abuser
The annoying co-worker is the person who lacks a general sense of social graces and etiquette, regardless of the environment.
E-mail has become a great way to quickly and efficiently conduct business, but it also has the potential to be an informational wasteland and an environment where people can display their ignorance to large groups.
The annoying co-worker is the person who constantly forwards emails that he finds funny, uses the e-mail system to advertise his garage sales, and insists on "replying to all," even though the entire company does not need to see his response.
Since e-mail allows people to think before hitting "send," it would seem reasonable that individuals would have more time to ponder the wisdom of the email. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Clearly, the annoying co-worker can sometimes be identified by the lack of awareness, even if this includes his entire personality.
No. 1: The Clueless Colleague
When it comes to people, awareness can be hard to teach.
Unfortunately, this can extend to the workplace and people may find that certain co-workers have no idea about how they come across to others. This includes their vocal volume, conversational content, wardrobe, general popularity, skill set, and role in the company.
Sadly, some co-workers simply do not "get it," and everyone around them must navigate the awkward atmosphere that can go along with a clueless colleague.
In many offices, the generally unaware person fills the role of annoying co-worker, as everyone else must resist the temptation to tell this person on a daily basis that they are not in touch with reality. People that are not in touch with their surroundings can be inherently annoying in the workplace.

Peace Corps Volunteers in Madagascar are teaching English, conducting health education and child survival activities, and working on natural resource management and community development. The Madagascar program was suspended on March 17, 2009 and all volunteers were evacuated due to a continuing political conflict.[1] The program has since been reinstated.
Main article: Training in Madagascar
Pre-service training will provide you with the essential skills needed to successfully complete your service in Madagascar. During training, you will learn what you need to know to integrate into your community and to develop and implement an appropriate work plan with your community and counterparts. Training has five major components:
Technical training, cross-cultural training, language instruction, personal health and safety training, and the role of the Volunteer in development.
The training in Madagascar is community-based, which means that the bulk of it takes place in the community instead of at a training center. Community-based training is a more difficult training model in some respects, as the learning environment is real, not artificial. Most of your time will be spent in villages similar to the one in which you will be placed as a Volunteer, living with a Malagasy family and working in village schools. The learning environment is designed to provide you with experiences and meetings that will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need in your work as a Volunteer.
Your Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health Care and Safety in Madagascar
The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. Peace Corps/Madagascar maintains its own health unit with two medical officers, who are responsible for the medical care of trainees and Volunteers in Antananarivo as well as at their sites. The Peace Corps has further medical support from the area medical officer based in Kenya and from the Office of Medical Services in Washington. In case of severe illness, you will be evacuated to a nearby country or the United States for medical care.
Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues in Madagascar
In Madagascar, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyles, background, and beliefs will be judged in a cultural context very different from our own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Madagascar.
Outside of Madagascar's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What is viewed as "typical" cultural behavior or norms may be a narrow and selective interpretation, such as the perception in some countries that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Madagascar are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to differences that you present.

Packing List
Main article: Packing List for Madagascar
This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in Madagascar and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have a 100-pound weight restriction on baggage. (Luggage should be tough, lightweight, lockable, and easy to carry.) And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Madagascar.

Comments about this product:
The Psych musical is one of my very favorite episodes of one of my very favorite shows (not to mention containing several of my very favorite songs). Popping the episode into my DVD player (or pulling up the soundtrack on my iPod) never fails to make me smile. When I don't have the time to watch the episode, however, I've got this poster. Great design, well-made, and shipped VERY nicely in a hard plastic sleeve (which you can slap some sticky wall-hangers on the back of and display as-is). I smile every time I look at this. Recommended.

Immediate Release
October 17, 2001
Information: 217/782-4648
State Board to Issue Academic Early Warning List
Springfield - The state's poorest-performing schools will be placed on the Academic Early Warning List (AEWL) by the State Board of Education (ISBE) at its November 15 meeting in Chicago.
Illinois law stipulates that schools are placed on the AEWL if 50 percent or more of their students' scores on the state assessments do not meet the Illinois Learning Standards for two consecutive years.
The AEWL was last compiled in the fall of 1998 when ISBE placed 70 schools on the list based on two years of testing data from the Illinois Goal Assessment Program (IGAP). ISBE did not issue a Warning List in 1999 and 2000 because the state assessment system was changing from IGAP to the new Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) in elementary and middle grades and the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) in grade 11. The 2001 list for elementary and middle schools will be compiled using results from the 2000 and 2001 ISAT. The state will not have two years of PSAE results from high schools until the fall of 2002.
Districts with AEWL schools are eligible for assistance through a variety of interventions funded through state and local dollars. For example, the schools are entitled to receive state Summer Bridges funds for elementary schools and were eligible to apply for federal Reading Excellence Act, Comprehensive School Reform and 21st Century Learning Communities grants.

Father's Day… as L.T. looked for a special card for her dad, she smiled as she found the "perfect one!"
"Dads and Daughters Are Forever Friends."… Your words let me know I was loved. Your hugs told me I was heard and understood. Your smiles reminded me I had a special friend in you. For as long as I can remember, Dad, you've been there for me - believing in me, caring about me… and playing an important role in my life that no one else could ever fill. Happy Father's Day with love and thanks for everything."
She simply signed it, "Thank you for being such a wonderful father! I feel so blessed having you as my Dad!"
Yes, the love of a Dad shows in so many different ways and Father's Day gives us the opportunity to thank them if we are lucky enough to have them or to go visit them at the cemetery, as I have to do.
Some cards, like this one above, let's us re-live the memories.
Last week's front page coverage in The Progress showing two dogs needing foster homes shows the love and care that Darah Conard and Terry Robbins have been doing for years. When I talked to both of them when I was writing the article on Angie (Ponce) Aguilar and her grooming dog business, I could feel their dedication so that these stray animals would not "have a death sentence."
I was reading a past issue of Guideposts and a small article showing a "Picture Perfect" photo of a puppy caught my attention.
"I wanted to adopt a puppy so I searched (internet) hoping a photo would steal my heart...Instead most made me sad."…dogs cowered in a corner with sad eyes, dogs with startled expressions."
So, he volunteered to take photos using better lighting, and accessorized with bows, pearls, (bandanas) and pretty backgrounds — interest in the dogs shot up!
Within weeks, dogs that had been waiting forever were adopted!
Somewhat like Angie volunteers to groom one dog a month to make it "look beautiful!" — If a picture says a thousand words…this could shout…"Adopt me!"
Does this sound like a great idea for the next Progress photo to help Darah and Terry save a stray dog's life! ...Yes!
Can you define "litter"?
Litter is a result of some individual paying too little attention to their actions and carelessly handling waste and discarded items so it ends up on our streets, parks and waterways.
It is not just annoying and unsightly; it also scars our neighborhoods and deters investments in our community."
With that in mind, Rose (Dove) Burch is asking for as many volunteers as possible to show up Friday, June 21, at Three Rivers City Hall so we can help to pick up litter from 8 a.m. until noon.
Can we count on you?
As Rose and I talked, I could see her concern. We are celebrating our Centennial and the 4th of July celebration is just around the corner when it is expected that we will have thousands of people in town for the celebration at the Kopplin Park.
The solution to littering is to stop it before it starts through prevention — (We need to teach our children when they are little) — It only takes small actions one person at a time to make a difference.
Each person must accept responsibility for their actions and influence the action of others around them in our homes, business, school, community and our parks.
By modeling proper trash and waste disposal, YOU CAN cause others to consider their actions too!"
We want our town of Three Rivers to look nice and clean during our Centennial celebration and hopefully, with your help we can start by volunteering this Friday June 21 from 8 a.m. until noon.
Please bring work gloves and let's show others that we do care and show our sense of pride to resolve this!
See you there!

Tennessee, Taiwan win LLWS elimination games
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Knox Prestons head turned out to be fine. And so is the Nashville, Tenn., players swing.
A day after being cleared by Little League World Series doctors of any signs of a concussion, Preston played a big role in Nashvilles 10-0 rout of Newark, Del., in an elimination game Monday.
The second baseman singled and scored the first run during a six-run, second-inning rally. He then sealed it with a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth that invoked the tournaments 10-run mercy rule.
I was really nervous because, at first the doctor said he was really close to saying I had a concussion, said Preston, who landed hard on his head after being tripped up running to first base during a 10-2 win over Corpus Christi, Texas, on Saturday. When he told me I was able to play, I was so happy because I wouldve hated to just watch my team and not be able to contribute at all.
The Southeast champions had plenty of contributors in avoiding elimination in their second straight game.
Zane Denton hit a grand slam in the second inning. Robert Hassell had a double and RBI triple.
And just as important, the shortened game allowed manager Chris Mercado to save his pitching as Nashville is still two wins away from having a shot at playing in the U.S. bracket title game.
Thats how we get out of the losers bracket, guys. We have the pitchers to keep them down, Mercado said. And once we start hitting, the other teams going to be in trouble.
Nashville advances to face either Sammamish, Wash., or Urbandale, Iowa on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Taoyuan, Taiwan rallied from a 3-0 deficit to pull out a 6-4 win over San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, in an International bracket elimination game. Taiwan will play either Aguadulce, Panama, or Ottawa, Ontario, on Tuesday.
Against Nashville, Delaware (1-2) threatened with the bases loaded in the third before Joseph Davis struck out looking. Justin Courter had the lone hit, a single, for the Mid-Atlantic champions.
After opening the tournament with a 6-3 win over Iowa, Delaware dropped a 15-3 decision to California.
Newark manager John Ludman had no difficulty believing his players would be fine after their second lopsided loss.
Huang Chao-Wei singled home two runs during a four-run fourth inning, and Lan Huai-Chein doubled and scored in the fifth in the come-from-behind win.
The Asia-Pacific champions had a short turnaround following a 3-2 loss to Japan in the late game Sunday night.
Puerto Rico (1-2) threatened in its final at-bat, scoring once on a two-out, bases-loaded walk to Edgar Baez. But Robert Addarich bounced out to the pitcher to end the game.
Puerto Rico starter Leonardo Lizardi hit four batters into the fourth inning to tie a one-game series record set six times.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

- Title
- The role of customer value within the service quality, customer satisfaction and behavioural intentions relationships: an empirical examination in the Indonesian higher education sector
- Author(s)
- Roostika, Ratna
- Abstract
- All countries in the world are now moving towards a knowledge-based economy. The performance of the higher education sector of any nation should be of great significance as it influences the nation's competitiveness. With respect to competitiveness, the issue of quality and satisfaction has heightened concerns among higher education circles in Indonesia. Nevertheless, both service quality and satisfaction constructs are not without critiques and questions on the roles that both constructs play. In general services, quality and satisfaction do not always relate to the economic returns. Customers do not always concerns on offerings with the highest quality. Many customers express high satisfaction ratings but still consider to spending elsewhere for different reasons. This has prompted calls for the introduction of a more dynamic construct called 'customer value' to better predict behavioural outcomes and assist competitive advantage. The research gap in this thesis is therefore an empirically testing the integrative model of service quality, customer satisfaction, customer value and behavioural intentions in the higher education sector. The proposed integrative model was empirically examined by collecting data from undergraduate students in the five Universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis using Partial Least Squares were applied to test the measurement model and structural model proposed in this thesis. To the academic literature, the proposed model provides a comprehensive picture of the relationships among the key constructs (SQ, CS, CV and BI), and therefore allowing to see the relative impacts of subsequent consequential variables. The findings identified the determinants of service quality and customer value specific to higher education, as well as confirm the relationships proposed from the conceptual model. In particular, the findings showed the dominant role of customer value on behavioural intentions, compared to that exerted by service quality and customer satisfaction. Customer value also has a stronger influence on customer satisfaction than service quality. The inclusion of customer value has increased the predictive power in explaining behavioural intentions. The findings provide valuable guidelines for practitioners in this field by assisting them to better understand the determinants and the nature of their relationships, in relation to expected organisational outcomes and enhance competitive advantage of the university. The ultimate contribution of this study would assist universities to provide their best services according to the aspirations of university students at large.

- Title
- Housing aspirations: some implications for welfare housing policy
- Author(s)
- Gribbin, C.; Newton, Peter W.
- Abstract
- Social research on housing has grown rapidly during the last decade or so. Indeed, the need for social research in housing reflects something of the nature of housing itself---or at least what it has been seen to become. Housing fulfils a role both as a means of shelter and as a transmitter of information about a pousehold's position and achievement. The situation which Australia found itself in after the second world war---with an acute shortage of houses, rapid industrialisation and overseas immigration called for a massive increase in the housing stock and sustained a 'housing as shelter' philosophy for a number of years. Being an important subset of the national housing sphere, public housing was also highly motivated to 'produce the goods'. By the 1970s the societal setting had changed somewhat: the shortfall in housing had narrowed, demographic and economic transitions (from high growth to low or near zero growth) were in train, material well-being was high, traditional roles were being questioned, community expectations were higher than they had been in the past, there were calls for dialogue and corrmunity participation. It is perhaps understandable, therefore, that statements such as the one which follows, have recently emanated from state housing authorities: " ... public housing authorities in this country have reached the cross-roads, and they are at this moment in a dilemma. Which way should we go? Which way will we be forced to go?" (Crane, 1977). There are no simple answers to these questions. As a starting point, however, it would seem necessary to investigate the ways in which different groups evaluate housing situations. Is it possible to speak of a commonality of aspirations as they relate to housing, or should one be looking for a range of residential value systems? It is our contention that the value systems currently operating in our urban society, particularly as they relate to housing, need to be understood and incorporated into policies concerned with housing provision. Implicit in this statement is the need for housing authorities to work to a program which is framed in terms of the needs and value systems present in our community rather than from a rather detached and insular position where confined attitudes often lead to programs which are out of step with current requirements.

Six Downgrades Sock Stocks in the SOX
The last time I profiled stocks in the SOX was on Sept. 25 in The SOX May Provide Another Warning as this index gapped below its 200-day SMA setting the stage for the down trend to that Nov. 16 low.
Among the 10 stocks I profiled in that post six were rated buy according to www.ValuEngine.com. Since then each of these names have been downgraded to hold.
The computer and technology sector is 9.9% overvalued with the electronics semiconductor industry 16.4% overvalued.
The daily chart for the SOX (389.69) shows rising momentum with the index above its 21-day, 50-day and 200-day SMAs at 377.20, 372.80 and 388.68. My weekly value level is 379.60 with quarterly risky level at 439.97.
Chart Courtesy of Thomson/Reuters
Reading the Table
OV/UN Valued: The stocks with a red number are undervalued by this percentage. Those with a black number are overvalued by that percentage according to ValuEngine.
VE Rating: A "1-engine" rating is a strong sell, a "2-engine" rating is a sell, a "3-engine" rating is a hold, a "4-engine" rating is a buy and a "5-engine" rating is a strong buy.
Last 12-Month Return (%): Stocks with a red number declined by that percentage over the last 12 months. Stocks with a black number increased by that percentage.
Forecast 1-Year Return: Stocks with a red number are projected to decline by that percentage over the next 12 months. Stocks with a black number in the table are projected to move higher by that percentage over the next 12 months.
Value Level: The price at which to enter a GTC limit order to buy on weakness. The letters mean; W-weekly, M-monthly, Q-quarterly, S-semiannual and A-annual.
Pivot: A level between a value level and risky level that should be a magnet during the time frame noted.
Risky Level: The price at which to enter a GTC limit order to sell on strength.
Applied Materials (AMAT) ($11.34 vs. $11.35 on Sept. 25): AMAT still has a hold rating, is 19.4% undervalued with a 12 month trailing P/E at 16.2. My weekly value level is $10.61 with a quarterly risky level at $12.76. Note that Wednesday's close was just above the 200-day SMA at $11.27.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) ($2.52 vs. $3.46 on Sept. 25): AMD has been downgraded to hold since the Sept. 25 post and is 47.2% undervalued. My weekly value level is $2.12 with a semiannual risky level at $4.76. AMD has been below its 200-day SMA at $4.81 since May 30.

Local makes 'Jeopardy' appearance
- published_in
- The Eye
Who is Kate Hawthorne Jeracki?
Answer: A few wrong responses left Kate in the hole early on. Wagering $1,000 on the Daily Double, and getting it correct, left her down just $600 going into Double Jeopardy.
What happened in the first round?
Answer: Clicker malfunction.
How did she not get the question about the state flower of Colorado?
Answer: Thanks, in part, to Contestant Three missing the Daily Double, Contestant One hitting a cold-streak, and Kate's frightening knowledge of words that start with "u," our local favorite headed into Final Jeopardy in second place with $11,400.
What is an amazing comeback?
Answer: Very entertaining because she even managed to correct the show's host on properly phrasing responses on "Jeopardy."
How was her chit-chat with Alex Trebek?
"1960s TV Characters" was the Final Jeopardy category. Kate and Contestant Three answered right to end the day with $21,400 (she only wagered $10,000) and $22,000, respectively. Contestant One answered incorrectly and finished with $19,199.
Final Jeopardy question: One of her first spoken lines is translated, 'You have the face of a wise and fearless caliph.'

Dordt College News
Dordt students earn top honors in national ag competition
March 25, 2013
Eighteen Dordt College students qualified to participate in the National Postsecondary Agriculture Student (PAS) Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Approximately 750 students competed for their college or university.
Eleven of the eighteen Dordt students took 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in competition in team and individual events.
In team competitions, Dordt College placed 1st in Beef Specialist, 2nd in Swine Specialist, and 3rd in College Bowl competitions. The Beef Specialist team included senior Holly Enerson (1st place individual from Estherville, Iowa), senior Lewis Nighswonger (3rd place individual from Alva, Oklahoma), and sophomore Quinlan Schrock (4th place individual from Wellman, Iowa). The Swine Specialist team included seniors Brian Dieleman (1st place individual from Kent Bridge, Ontario), Drew De Vries (5th place individual from Maurice, Iowa), and Mitchell Byl (8th place individual from Hull, Iowa). The College Bowl team included junior Parker Merritt (Mason City, Iowa), senior Jon Leutchens (Murdock, Nebraska), Enerson, senior Michael Gallagher (Hornick, Iowa), and senior Erin Davelaar (Brandon, South Dakota).
In individual employment interview competitions, five students placed in the top three. Enerson took 1st place in Feeds and Animal Health, Luetchens placed 2nd in Crop Production, Gallagher earned 3rd place in Agribusiness Sales, senior Curtis Van Grouw (Rock Valley, Iowa) took 3rd in Dairy Production, and De Vries took 3rd in Livestock Production.
PAS is one of 10 career and technical student organizations approved by the United States Department of Education as an integral part of career and technical education. Their motto is "uniting education and industry in agriculture."
Dordt College is one of only a handful of Christian colleges in North America to offer a four-year agriculture program. Over the past several years, all Dordt agriculture students have found positions within six months of graduating, most much sooner. Graduates enter careers not only in farming and technical service support but also in government, finance, and international development. Learn more at www.dordt.edu/agriculture.

New face for a county landmark; The Sullivan debuts as boutique hotel in Rock Hill
September 19, 2012 —
Some of the top political and business leaders in the county turned out for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at The Sullivan, a facility that was purchased and renovated by developer Butch Resnick and is billed as the county's only "boutique hotel."
Several of the county lawmakers were on hand, along with assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and state senator John Bonacic, who wielded the oversized scissors for the actual cutting.
Resnick said he renovated the former Lodge at Rock Hill to be a boutique hotel, and while it looks spruced up and elegant, he said it is not more expensive than other similar facilities in the region.
Typical of Resnick's style, the renovation was done quickly; he purchased the property at the end of April. The project was made possible with the help of the Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency, which approved the continuation of payments in lieu of taxes that the previous owner of the property had arranged.
At the time of the deal, Resnick said, "Our intention is to upgrade the closed site into a New York City style boutique hotel property, giving Sullivan County residents, business travelers and banquet guests a stylistic and chic experience that will be second to none."
According to a press release, the facility features "Seventy newly refurbished rooms with amenities including HDTV, free Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast; Jacuzzi suites are available." Resnick also owns two onsite restaurants, BHR Bernie's and Crust.

The question is simple. How does donating 1 pint of blood (not plasma) effect long distance runners? Numerous reports and Q&A's are available for shorter distance athletes, but there is a lack of information available for marathon and longer runners. I decided to see for myself, and made myself the guinea pig for my little experiment.
Prior to donating blood I knew a couple key facts.
1. No strenuous activity for 24 hours after giving blood
2. It takes 56 days to fully replenish your red blood cell count
3. It takes 72 hours to rehydrate
4. Donating blood has had crippling, and dangerous effects on runners (including being hospitalized)
With that knowledge, I gave the standard 1 pint of blood. This would equal having 10% less red blood cells available to carry oxygen to my body. In order to compare and contrast the effects, I recorded training stats and personal vitals for two full weeks after donating. I chose a two week period of time because this was the average length of time shorter distance runners (ie 5k-10k) said it took to feel somewhat normal again. I did everything I was advised to do, which included extra fluid intake, not missing meals(not really an issue for me), extra sleep, taking iron supplements, and eating iron rich foods.
Key stats prior to donating:
Age: 28
Body Weight: 155 lbs
Miles per week running: 60-70 (mpw post donating stayed the same, or increased)
Weekly long run: 15-22 miles. Best long run was 16 miles at 7:30 pace (Treadmill)
Weekly tempo run: 5-7 miles at 6:55- 7:00 pace, or 8-10 miles at 7:05-7:10 pace (Treadmill)
My primary objective was to attempt to keep my post donating training as similar as possible to my pre donation training. I completely understood that my endurance and speed would decrease, but I really wanted to learn a few important things. How much would my initial performance drop? How long would it take to regain my fitness? Simple science suggests that 56 days would be needed for full recovery.
Here's my breakdown of the two weeks after donating.
Day 1. My body felt fatigued from the start. It was like running at 10,000 ft. I plodded along at an 8:30 minute mile, and struggled to maintain anything faster than 8:00 per mile. I could not maintain anything faster than a 7:30 for more than a few minutes. My cardio was gone, and my legs felt a bit shaky. I required walking breaks about every mile. My total run was 9 miles at roughly a 9 minute mile average, which factored in the walking breaks.
Day 2. Ran 7.5 miles at an overall 8:00 minute pace. 3 miles were at 7:20 pace. Drastic improvement, but still a long way from normal.
Day 3. Third day was a hard mixed workout. Ran 5 miles, including two miles at a surprising 6:46 pace.
Day 4. Felt tired and worn out
Day 5. Ran 13 miles total. 10 miles were at 7:27 pace
Day 6. Long run of 20 miles. Felt good and relaxed, but I kept the pace pretty easy
Day 8. Horrible tempo run. 5 miles at 7:21 pace
Day 9. Better tempo run. 6.4 miles at 7:09 pace
Day 10. Long run, easy paced 21 miles. Felt comfortable, but again I was not going hard.
Day 13. The Big Two week test: Seneca Creek Greenway Trail 50k. Short race report at the bottom.
2010 Seneca Creek Greenway Trail 50k
Short and sweet version
I knew my body wasn't 100% recovered going into this event. After all, I was only two weeks out from donating blood. My plan was to run as hard as my body would allow for as long as it would allow. With half of the course covered in snow, and the rest of it covered in mud, it was a little tough to tell how my time would reflect my fitness. Honestly, I don't think the trail conditions slowed the times down much. At most it caused the 50k to run 10-15 minutes slower than last year. In 2009 I ran the 50k in 5:18 on a day I thought I bonked a bit.
Moral of the story. Donating blood is a wonderful cause, but it will wreak havoc on athletic capacity in ultra runners for a few months (not just weeks). But, also know that your running is probably a selfish act in itself, and donating blood saves lives every day. Find a 3 month period of time you don't have any key races planned, and then donate. It takes 30 minutes for the entire process, and just 5 minutes for the donation itself.
Your guinea pig ultra donor,
Mike Bailey

Dordt College News
Experience Civil War battlefield tactics and strategy
January 28, 2013
Experience history through the eyes of those who fought and strategized in the Civil War battles. Dordt College is sponsoring a Civil War Staff Ride May 15 to 18 in the Springfield, Missouri, and Eureka Springs, Arkansas, area.
Dordt History Professor Paul Fessler will lead the group on an experience that goes far beyond a simple tour. A staff ride involves participation in the unfolding of history, where each person is assigned to play a role of an original battle participant. Fessler has led this tour with students in the past, and this opportunity is now available for Civil War buffs of any age.
Participants will learn about those who fought and will discover how political, social, and religious factors shaped the military outcome. The battles of Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge are the focus of the trip. These early battles were significant in deciding the outcome of both the Western Theatre and the war as a whole, and they offered tactical and strategic lessons that both sides would need for future battles. Important themes will emerge about leadership, decision-making, and responsibility that extend to other battles and beyond.
The tour will begin and end in Springfield, Missouri. The four-day, three-night adventure costs $550 for single occupancy and $425 for a double occupancy stay. This price includes lodging accommodations (including a two-night stay at the historic Manor House in Eureka Springs), meals, bus transportation, and a battlefield guidebook.
To learn more, view the itinerary, or register for the trip, visit www.dordt.edu/events/civil_war_learning or contact event coordinator Dianne De Wit at (712) 722-6029 or email@example.com. Space is limited.

Smoking marijuana for fun became legal yesterday in Colorado.
That development has me wondering what will happen when Ohio legalizes pot for recreational use.
You know that it's likely to happen someday, right? We have fertile farmland, a good transportation network and a large population of aging baby boomers nostalgic for early- 1970s dorm life. I'd say it's practically inevitable.
True, Ohio hasn't been quick to jump on other vice bandwagons. It was a relative latecomer to casino gambling: Nevada legalized it in 1931; and Ohio, in 2009.
But I doubt we'll wait 78 years on marijuana. The tax windfall alone will make it irresistible.
Whenever it happens, expect the marketing of marijuana to be done with a distinctive Ohio approach. Here are my predictions:
• Ohio State University will have licensed strains of marijuana designed to appeal to Buckeyes fans. Among the offerings will be Light Up Sloopy; Highs-man Trophy; and, of course, TrippedOhio.
Meanwhile, Bob Evans will experiment with a special "tailgate blend" that makes smokers crave bratwurst.
• The magic word that can sell anything in Ohio — Amish — will undoubtedly be applied to marijuana retailing. Once stoned on, say, Amish Gold, tourists will flock to gift shops to stare at quilts and buy copious amounts of apple butter. No change there.
• Marijuana retailers will fashion themselves in the images of the suburbs or neighborhoods where they are situated.
Clintonville will specialize in sustainable marijuana, locally grown and fertilized exclusively by manure from neighborhood chickens. New Albany will have an upscale marijuana spa.
During the Memorial Tournament, Dublin will sell a strain of pot aimed at golfers looking for something other than a beer buzz. It will be called Bentgrass.
• The liberal college towns of Athens (Ohio University), Yellow Springs (Antioch) and Gambier (Kenyon) will race to be the first to establish an Ohio Marijuana Festival.
When other towns see its success — the sale of funnel cakes alone will bring in millions — they'l l begin incorporating pot into their own events, such as the Cincinnati October-Toke and the West Jefferson Pot Roast.
• Marijuana tourism will become big business in Ohio. Pot outlet malls will spring up near freeway exits. Truck stops will offer 24-hour bong repair.
Experience Columbus, the region's visitors bureau, will tout our excellent restaurants, high-class lodging and full range of marijuana delights. And, to reinforce the point, it will rename itself Inhale Columbus.

Prepare the Soil for Your Cabbage Plants
Plant Cabbage Seed or Transplants
Weed, Feed, and Water Your Cabbages
Harvest Your Cabbage
Cabbage is a very versatile vegetable. There are early, midseason, and late varieties; round, flat, or savoy (crinkled) heads; and varying shades of green or red. In a flower bed, lush cabbage leaves contrast nicely with annuals or perennials. By planting a number of cabbage varieties, you can extend the growing season and provide for varied uses, from kraut to coleslaw.
Before planting cabbage, work in a 2-inch layer of rich compost or other organic matter, such as Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil.
Start cabbage seeds indoors 5-7 weeks before the last frost, then set out the seedlings when they are 4-6 weeks old. Plant nursery-grown transplants 2 weeks before the average last frost date.
Once your seedlings are established, water with a soaker hose to avoid wetting the foliage. Keeping the soil moist will help keep your cabbage heads from cracking. Feed with a water-soluble plant food, such as Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food, twice a month until harvest. Weed carefully to avoid damaging the roots of your cabbage plants.
Cabbage is ready to harvest when the heads are tight, firm, and 4-10 inches in diameter. Cut the stem just below the head, using a sharp knife. Your cabbage will taste the best right after harvest, although you can store it for several months in cool, humid conditions.

No comments yet on how Madonna is washed up and yada yada yada? Shocked.
@Jeff: don't worry, the day is still young. bitterness tends to peak as the day advances.
ah, David DeCoteau… the modern-day Ed Wood.
His films are so bad, it's beyond the pale (and at times, one just might need a pail).
The man appears to know about as little as is humanly possible about actual film-making.
And his models…err, I mean actors, are so stiff (and not in a GOOD way) they are painful to watch, no matter how cute and twinky they are (if you're into that kind of guy).
Truth Or Dare's been on DVD before in the early days of the format, it's been out of print for a long time. Today it finally comes out on Blu-Ray and the DVD is finally reissued after about eight years.
Feeling like a really nostalgic guy this week, I have TOD and The Bodyguard on Blu-Ray coming from Amazon, hard to believe the early 90s is 20 years back.
Miracle Day is pretty great, but running time is something like 8 hours so it takes a major commitment.
@RomanHans Are you high? I mean like balls out, slapping the sidewalk, and talking to the air high? Miracle Day was some of the worst shite produced in the history of broadcast television. I love Russell T Davies and most of his work. I kept hoping it would get better but amazingly, even though I thought it couldn't, it kept getting progressively worse. Horrible miscasting, terrible writing, and with nothing resembling anything Torchwood other than two characters being pathetic shadows of themselves. And those are its good qualities!
To everyone else: if someone recommends Miracle Day, do yourself a favor and put a bullet in their head. Seriously, you'd be doing them a favor…
Should have used another pic. That's a BBC photo and Ianto is DEAD. Miracle Day SUCKED – great idea, crappy execution.
If there was SOMETHING different about the blu-ray, I would consider it. I heard there's a movie trailer on there. That's it. A commentary track would have definitely made this a 'must have'.
@RomanHans: I did not get to see the last two segments, but what I did see I enjoyed. It certainly was different from what I expected but not really in a bad way. Some things were annoying (the non-Torchwood people were always somehow messing up… something a green Gwen dis back when first joined) but overall, I liked it. Now that it's out I'm glad I'll get to finish it.

Going extinctFebruary 18,2014
The environmental movement may be in for a grave disappointment this year if President Obama approves construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas. The State Department has laid the groundwork for Obamas approval, after which environmentalists had better be ready to regroup and refocus.
A story in the Sunday Rutland Herald described how some climate change activists believe that the protest movement opposing the pipeline has distracted attention from more important climate challenges, such as power plants spewing carbon into the air in the United States and abroad. At the same time, anti-pipeline activists say opposition to the pipeline has galvanized the attention of people all across the country, enlisting them in the climate change cause as never before.
Bill McKibben, the author and activist who lives in Ripton, has been one of the leading pipeline critics. He has taken into account the warning by climate scientist James Hansen that development of the tar sands oil in Alberta, Canada, would be game over for the climate. The pipeline has been designed to transport tar sands oil down to refineries on the Gulf Coast, and so would enable the combustion of a vast reserve of dirty fossil fuel with dire consequences for the warming of the planet.
The State Department had the responsibility of assessing the pipelines effects because it would cross the international border. Essentially, the department concluded that the pipeline would not contribute to the furtherance of climate change because whether or not the pipeline is built, the oil will get to market somewhere and, ultimately, will be burned. It is probably an accurate conclusion. Canadas oil wealth is considerable, and the political leadership in Canada is not about to leave it untapped.
Canadas stance might be seen as self-interested pursuing the national interest at the expense of the global interest. But the United States is doing the same thing. It is one of Obamas great boasts that the United States is at a peak of production for both oil and natural gas.
The climate activism that has focused on the pipeline has involved thousands of people from all walks of life. In Nebraska, farmers and native Americans have allied themselves with environmental activists to resist the pipeline. In Washington, D.C., McKibben was one of more than a thousand protesters at the White House who served time in jail in consequence of their demonstrations.
If the pipeline is approved or not approved, we face the same dilemma. Whether we get our oil from Saudi Arabia, Canada or North Dakota, we are still burning fossil fuels rapidly enough to effect drastically destructive changes to our world. Author Elizabeth Kolberts new book The Sixth Extinction, reviewed in The New York Times Book Review by Al Gore, says that the rate of extinction underway because of climate change is comparable to the extinctions that occurred when an asteroid hit the earth and destroyed the dinosaurs. By the end of this century, 20 to 50 percent of all animal species may be extinct. Human civilization may have undergone a historic rupture.
For a heroin addict, it doesnt matter so much whether his heroin comes from Afghanistan, Mexico or Los Angeles. The point is to halt the consumption of heroin. To slow the effects of climate change, we have to stop burning fossil fuels. That means the vested interests that stand to make billions of dollars by exploiting the resources to which they have title must be opposed and alternative fuels must be developed.
The pipeline has been but a skirmish in that struggle. The race is on to see whether new technologies can be developed fast enough so that fossil fuels can be replaced before the coming changes prove too dire. That means supporting sustainable energy sources, conserving energy and amplifying the research needed to pioneer new technologies that will halt the mass extinction that humankind has unleashed on its home planet.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Action at a distance
From Conservapedia
Action at a distance consists of affecting a distant body instantaneously. At the atomic level, this is known as "non-locality".
Examples of action at a distance in physics are:
- Newtonian gravity
- Electrostatics (before Maxwell's equations in the 1800s)
- Quantum entanglement within quantum mechanics (called "non-locality")
Some scientists have long resisted the possibility of action at at distance (non-locality), and the theory of relativity assumes that information traveling instantaneously, or faster than the speed of light, is impossible.
Several theories have been developed as ways of denying action at a distance (non-locality). These include:
- theories positing the existence of gravitons
- string theory
- quantum field theory

What is in this article?:
- USDA, specialists disagree on peanut acreage dip
- South Carolina
- Cost of water a big factor
- USDA estimates
• Across the entire belt, peanut specialists estimate an acreage reduction of about 14 percent from 2010.
• The USDA Intentions Report predicts a 4 percent drop in total planted acres.
Despite high prices and early contract offers, peanut specialists around the peanut belt contend acres will still be down slightly in 2011.
In the Southeast, Georgia is expecting the biggest loss in acreage, with a 20 percent cut expected. Alabama and Florida are each looking at a 10 percent reduction.
In the Virginia-Carolina belt, both Virginia and South Carolina are looking at about the same acreage as 2010 and North Carolina is looking at a 5 percent cut.
In Mississippi, where acreage had been on the steady increase, a 20 percent cut in acreage is anticipated.
In the Southwest, Texas and New Mexico are looking for 10 percent reductions in acres and Oklahoma is expected to remain the same as 2010.
Across the entire belt, peanut specialists in each state estimate a reduction of about 14 percent from 2010, or a planted acreage total of about 1,111,000 acres.
Despite the reduction in acres, the peanut industry could get a needed boost from lowering carryover. If producers top 3,000 pounds per acre across the belt, they will produce a crop in 1.75 to 1.85 million ton range that would likely keep prices good for growers for the 2012 season.
In Virginia, Virginia Tech plant pathologist and long-time peanut researcher Pat Phipps says the state will likely remain around 18,000 acres in 2011. Drought dogged peanut production in 2010 and many growers just can't find the incentive to plant more peanuts.
Government regulations on the use of Vapam, which is critical for Virginia growers who have a history of CBR on their farms, and the potential loss of Temik, are key factors that will limit production in 2011, Phipps says.
North Carolina State peanut specialist David Jordan says acreage in the Tar Heel state will likely continue to slide in 2011. He is expecting a minor reduction of five percent or so, but notes that could be higher, depending on how much cotton is planted is some of the key peanut producing counties.
Weed control, with the ever-increasing number of acres affected by herbicide tolerant pigweed, and managing diseases in peanut fields grown behind soybeans, are major issues that could further reduce acreage in North Carolina, Jordan says.

"Toft: Why Religion Wields More Political Influence Today"
Newsletter Article, Belfer Center Newsletter, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Spring 2011
Author: Susan M. Lynch, Program Assistant, International Security Program; Web Manager, Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program
Associate Professor of Public Policy Monica Duffy Toft, faculty director of the Belfer Centers Initiative on Religion and International Affairs, discusses her most recent publication, Gods Century: Resurgent Religion and Global Politics.
How did you become interested in writing Gods Century?
I am interested in what motivates people politically, especially what motivates religious actors politically. Essentially, I am interested in discerning whether religious actors behave differently than secular actors. This research stems from work on largescale political violence. Religion is an element in half of all active civil wars today and in most terrorism.
Gods Century deals with religiouslymotivated actors who use violence (terrorism, civil war)and those who pursue agendas of human rights, peace settlements, and democratization. What accounts for such a difference?
The difference between those who use violence and those who do not is based on both the nature of the actors political theology and the degree and type of independence between religion and state.
Religious actors have a bad reputationand some deserve itbut religious actors, including political parties, have also played a major role in most of the movements that successfully strove toward more open political systems over the past forty years. Religious actors enjoy a far greater level of independence from political authority in both their selfgovernance and pursuits than they have at any time in the past. This is one reason why they wield more influence today than they have for centuries.
What are your recommendations for U.S. foreign policy?
The United States will most likely succeed in its foreign policy by encouraging regimes that treat religion neither as a prisoner nor courtier, but as a respected citizen, and by supporting religious communities that struggle for such a regime. The U.S. should recognize that there is a strategic value in pursuing religious freedom.
Do you have concerns about the new role the Muslim Brotherhood might play in Egyptian government?
Although the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has its roots in Islam, there is no need to reflexively fear it. Not only was it politically active against a repressive regime in Egypt, but over time, it has moderated both its stance and role in Egyptian society. In order to govern, it needed to broaden its support. If the trends over the past forty years provide any guidance, the MB may very well continue to adopt a more democratic orientation and represent the Egyptian polity more broadly.

The chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices said at a conference that advantages brought by the next-generation process technologies will get less noticeable than previously. As a result, AMD will need to transit to new technologies more wisely than before and attempt to innovate using proven fabrication processes.
"Now, let's talk about 20nm and 14nm. I think that we really flying hard in the path of subatomic environments. The price advantages as we move down nodes are starting to wane. The ability to [quickly improve] yields and ramp up our products (which have fixed amount of time) is under exceptional pressure. It costs huge amounts of money. I think we have to be strategic and think about how quickly we go down the node," said Rory Read, chief executive officer of AMD, during IT Supply Chain conference organized by Raymond James.
Traditionally, both vertically integrated makers of semiconductors as well as contract makers of semiconductors, introduce new process technologies every 18 to 24 months. In the recent years the cadence changed a bit since development of new manufacturing processes and building new fabs became extremely expensive, but Intel Corp. keeps introducing new fabrication processes every two years and new product families every year proving the financial viability of Moore's law. The world's biggest chipmaker believes that the new process technologies enable it to integrate more functionality into chips while keeping their prices relatively flat. However, Intel is among a few companies who produce so large amounts of chips that it can cover development costs.
AMD believes that it should reconsider its typical strategies and tactics. In particular, it needs to innovate within existing and proven process technologies and not wait till better manufacturing processors become available and mature.
"We have some of the best products now! Look at the Brazos chip, over 20 million sold, we think we have taken share in the emerging markets. [...] That's the 40nm process. It is small. It is a beautiful product, it has got great margin. That's the future! The ability to deliver, to execute," stressed Mr. Read.
The new chief executive of AMD implied that high process technology development costs eventually translates into high product prices. In case of economic downturn, it will be very hard to remain profitable if demand collapses. On the other hand, if transition to newer fabrication process takes a longer time, it will become easier from financial point of view.
"Huge set of investments [into new process technologies and their ramp up] is almost like a chain around your neck. You've got to sell gigantic price processors particularly to commercial segment when commercial is nearing the end of the corporate refresh. You've got consumerization spreading around the planet. Why are you going down that path? Sure, there are advantages in moving down the node [...], there is a lot of profit and opportunity for us in terms of our business [with the currently available process technologies]. Why moving down the node too fast?" asked Mr. Read rhetorically.
Rory Read believes that the market of semiconductors will need to change drastically from what it is today. Even though AMD will inevitably adopt both 20nm and 14nm fabrication processes in the coming years, it will change its adoption approach and expects companies like Globalfoundries to change their pricing models so to make transitions to thinner processes viable for fabless designer of chips.
"Just go look at the cost of wafers as you move down those technologies, they are not going down, they are going up! If the yield does not go up, how do you get your return? You have to charge bigger prices. We will get there, we will move down [but ultimately there got to be different pricing model]," said the chief executive officer of AMD.

Denton named New Albany cross country coach
New Albany took its first step in improving the cross country program, hiring Dorothy Denton as the head coach.
The Union County native was introduced to the team on Monday at the high school.
Denton served as the cross country coach at Ingomar for three years (2007-2009) before accepting a job at the New Haven Center for Special Needs Adults. While at the school, Denton helped implement an exercise program for the clients, which includes daily walks. Also, Denton has played an integral part in developing the New Albany Runs running group, which meets on almost a daily basis and works with runners on all levels.
"I do love to run, and I'm excited about being here and I look forward to running with the team," Denton said. "I like to set goals because it gives us a purpose and a reason to keep working."
"My goal for this team is to be the best that they can be. I want to see them win state, and I believe that they can if they work hard and set their minds."
Along with the hiring of Denton, the school district is also working on developing a course at the elementary school through a grant received from Lowe's. With the help of New Albany Elementary School Principal Jamey Wright, the cross country program will benefit not only with the addition of the course, but also through the extended program Wright hopes to start with the kids at his school.
"The elementary school got the grant and Mr. Wright is working to get the course out there, which will eventually be our home course," New Albany Athletic Director Shane Sanderson said. "Jamey is working really hard to get the fourth, fifth and sixth graders active, so the future is very bright, and we're excited about where we're going as a program."
As far as the hiring of Denton, Sanderson found it most important to hire someone who shares a love for the sport, as that personality will work best with the athletes.
"It's extremely important that we get someone in here who will work hard and has a love for the sport, and we found that in Dorothy Denton," he said. "She blew us away with her love for running and she's committed to what she's doing."
Denton will begin workouts with the team this week and also plans to continue working with New Haven while coaching at New Albany.

The Black Ink Project: Measuring and Analyzing Your Traffic
The Black Ink Project is an affiliate success course designed to help new affiliates bridge the gap between Jeremy Palmer's e-book, High Performance Affiliate Marketing and making a profit. Some find that the book and forum support is all they need to succeed, but others need a little more hands-on training to connect all the dots.
The project focuses on four key areas:
- Setting realistic goals, based on your time and budget. You'll discover how much time and money you need to invest to achieve your goals.
- Researching prospective opportunities. You'll learn out how to avoid potential pitfalls and find the right niche and the best advertisers.
- Learning the software, scripts, and tools to help you create your site. You'll not only leave the course with a complete tool belt, you'll learn how to use your tools alone and together to create beautiful high-converting sites.
- Develop and launch a campaign from start to finish. At the end of the course, you'll have a complete action plan and checklist you can use for future sites.
