NGC 6670 is a gorgeous pair of overlapping edge-on galaxies resembling a leaping dolphin. Scientists believe that NGC 6670 has already experienced at least one close encounter and is now in the early stages of a second. The nuclei of the two galaxies are approximately 50,000 light-years apart. NGC 6670 glows in the infrared with more than a hundred billion times the luminosity of our Sun and is thought to be entering a starburst phase. The pair is located some 400 million light-years away from Earth.

The Avengers: U.S. U19 Team Rebounds to Win World Title
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter | Live Blog Replay
* Kavanagh Caps U19 Tournament With MVP Award
* Tucker Steps Up as Leader During Run to Gold
TURKU, Finland – After all the individual awards and medals were handed out, finally the public address announcer at the center of the field asked for the U.S. under-19 men's national team captains to approach and take the trophy that signaled their 2012 FIL U19 World Championship game win.
Except the three captains didn't go. The entire 23-player roster did.
|The U.S. U19 men's team avenged
pool play losses to the Iroquois and Canada to win its seventh
straight gold medal with a 10-8 win Saturday in the FIL U19 World
Championship game in Finland.

My how the times did change since arrival in Finland two weeks ago. A team that now self-admits it was being selfish on offense, uncommunicative on defense and not up to par between the lines, turned around its fortunes after a pair of pool play losses to the Iroquois Nationals and Canada earlier in the tournament.
Team USA avenged each of those defeats – the first two for any U.S. U19 team since sanctioned U19 international competition began – in the medal rounds, downing the Iroquois in the semifinals, followed by a 10-8 win over Canada in front of a capacity crowd of 1,200 on Saturday.
"It was quite an effort," Team USA coach Tim Flynn said. "We had a little phrase after the game, 'From the outhouse to the penthouse.' They became a family off the field. They learned how to play well together. They really put everything together in the last two games."
Like it did in the semifinal win Thursday, the U.S. dominated the middle of the field in the championship, winning 17 of 22 faceoffs as a team. Charlie Raffa won 10 and Tyler Barbarich seven while attackman Matt Kavanagh, named tournament MVP after finishing the competition with 19 goals and 15 assists (4.85 points per game), scored two goals and had two assists in the final. The defense held Canada scoreless during the second quarter, in which the U.S. scored four times to go ahead 6-2 while winning 7 of 8 draws.
"We played our game today," short-stick midfielder and co-captain Rob Zoppo said. "We finally showed people what we're about. We have 23 of the most talented guys in the country. We put it all together today."
Canada scored three straight to open the second half and cut the U.S. lead to 6-5, but the U.S. scored three of the next four to make it 9-6 heading into the fourth quarter. Kavanagh, Connor Buczek and Ryan Tucker scored during the run.
Mike Tagliaferri made it 10-7 with 3:17 to go before Canada's Wes Berg tacked on the last goal of the game with nine seconds to go.
Throughout it all, the U.S. hawked ground balls in the middle of the field. If Raffa or Barbarich didn't win a faceoff clean, their wingmen backed them up. Official ground ball stats were not kept but Flynn noticed the advantage.
"When we put this team together, a lot of people said we took the wrong kids," he said. "We knew what we were doing. We knew we had two, if not four or five of the best faceoff guys in the country. We had guys who stuck with it in a hot tryout. They got the tough ground balls all of that weekend. That's why they made the team and they proved it here today. I'll take these 23 kids and I'll go play anybody."
Close defenseman Rob Enright and long-stick midfielder Tanner Ottenbreit often drew the assignments of covering Canada's most potent threats, Berg and midfielder Chad Tutton, in the U.S.'s man-to-man defense.
"We tried to do some different things in anticipation of that," Canada coach Taylor Wray said. "Some of that worked, some of it didn't. Most of the credit goes to them. Any time you run into some adversity along the way, it goes one of two ways: It either breaks a team apart or in most cases it brings a team together. They were more together maybe then they were in the first game. They did a great job."
Adversity struck in the form of dropping the two pool play games. The U.S. needed to play its first quarterfinal game in tournament history against Germany. Then came rematches with the two teams that beat them.
The turning point? A two-hour long, players-only meeting. Seated in a college-style, stadium-seating lecture hall, the players filled the first two rows of the room at their dorm complex from about 9-11 p.m. the Tuesday night after the 15-13 loss to the Iroquois – the first ever by any U.S. field team to an Iroquois team.
For more than an hour the U.S. players talked out any problems they had with one another, on-field tensions that had built up since the team began training in earnest this summer. California native Tagliaferri talked about having slept in his bed for only three nights this summer while training with team and that he didn't want the effort and time invested to go to waste. Raffa spoke about how he didn't come to Finland to beat Germany or win a silver medal. His experience reaching the national title game as a freshman at Maryland carried weight. Goalie Justin Turri said there's one ball for 23 guys, not everyone will get the touches they want but make them mean something when you do. It went on and on.
Then the team broke down Xs and Os, and talked about what they could possibly do on the field to improve. Tucker, a rising sophomore at Virginia, described a few plays from the Cavaliers' offense. The defense talked about communicating better and invert defense, which was a weakness against the Iroquois. The players discussed an in-bounds play called "Schreiber" named for current Princeton and former St. Anthony's (N.Y.) midfielder Tom Schreiber, who many had played with or against in high school on Long Island. Buczek said "talk is cheap," and they needed to translate this talk to the field. They scored on the in-bounds play against Canada.
Flynn waited around the dorm complex and worried of what may be happening in the room – "if anyone was getting bloody," he said – but when the players emerged he was assured they were better for it. "We all knew we needed to do it," Kavanagh said. And Flynn even kept the offense they devised.
"We rejected a couple things they wanted to do," Flynn said, "but we actually ran that offense. Then there was more energy in everything. The closeness of the group made this happen."
"That really turned it around," said defenseman and co-captain Stephen Jahelka said.
Three nights later, after its championship matchup was set with Canada, the team got together one more time, to watch the movie "Miracle," the story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team that won gold, upsetting the favored Soviet Union along the way. It resonated with them.
"We watched USA Hockey battle through adversity," said Zoppo, whose idea it was to watch the film. "We felt the same the thing. We felt it suited our road to our victory today."
In the final, Zach Oliveri made five first-half saves and Kyle Turri made four in the second half while Canada goalie Brennan Donville finished with 10.
After Berg scored the goal in the final 10 seconds, the U.S. gained control on the ensuing faceoff. Defenseman Greg Danseglio scooped a ground ball near the top of the box and tossed it harmlessly to the middle of the field, and the celebration was on. The U.S. kept alive its streak of winning every gold medal (seven) since this title was first contested in 1988. The Iroquois finished third after a 18-1 win over England earlier Saturday.
Kavanagh, Tucker and Jahelka were named to the All-World team. Kavanagh was named most outstanding attackman, Warren Hill (Iroquois) was named most outstanding goalie, Lyle Thompson (Iroquois) was named most outstanding midfielder and Canada's Danny MacDermott was the tournament's most outstanding defender.
"The two games we lost, we knew we could have won," Kavanagh said. "It was a matter of fine-tuning our offense and defense and doing the little things on the field that we did."
Standing on the field immediately prior to the team accepting the championship trophy, assistant coach Tom Rotanz said, unprovoked: "Someday they'll make a movie about this: 'The Avengers,' or maybe 'Miracle on Turf.'"

The United States Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC) has partnered with the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) International Division to organize Partnering Day. The purpose of these meetings is to facilitate open dialogue among Army FMS partners, defense industry, USASAC and the Army acquisition community in regards to potential business opportunities and security assistance in international defense programs.
In May of 2004, USASAC conducted its first Partnering Day, which focused on the Strategic Product Plan (SPP), a series internal process improvements designed to streamline the FMS process in support of U.S. national security and army goals. NDIA supported this initial meeting by coordinating U.S. industry involvment.
Following the success of the first meeting, USASAC and NDIA have teamed together to organize 3-4 events a year. Topics for each meeting are selected by an industry-USASAC team and will include acquistion programs with ongoing or potential international applications. Speakers for each event will include resident experts from USASAC, the Acquisition community and the industry product teams. Meetings take place in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area and are schedule for two and one half hours of presentations followed by a one hour cocktail reception.

Monday, February 25th, 2013 Mill Valley Public LibraryCreekside Room7 PM (doors open at 6:45)Picturing Rural California | February 25th, 7:00pm During 2011, local writer and photographer Lisa M. Hamilton drove nearly ten thousands miles around California, gathering stories and photographing in places most people have never heard of: Surprise Valley, Lost Hills, Mecca. "I think the state's urban majority believes they already know rural California--what it looks like, who lives there, how they think. To put it simply, my intention was to prove them wrong, to show them that rural California is far more diverse and dynamic than any of us from the outside assume."
The result of her travels is "Real Rural," a multimedia portrait of rural California. Currently the work is the subject of a show at the California Historical Society, for which Hamilton paired her contemporary images with vintage photographs from the Society's collection dating back to the 19th century. In this library art lecture, Hamilton will explain how the work evolved, and discuss the art of storytelling through photographs.

Emily Prather-Rodgers, North Central College technical services coordinator for Oesterle Library, was elected vice president/president elect of the American Library Association's (ALA) New Members Round Table's (NMRT) Executive Board. The NMRT helps those who have been association members less than 10 years become actively involved in the association and the profession.
She will serve one year as vice president, one year as president and one year as past president. Her service begins at the conclusion of the ALA Annual Conference 2012 in Anaheim, Calif., June 21-26.
As vice president, her duties will include recruiting committee chairs and members for her presidential year, working closely with the president to ensure that NMRT activities and policies are of greatest possible benefit to the members of the round table, representing NMRT as an elected officer at various ALA events at the mid-winter and annual conferences, and establishing priorities and goals for her presidential year.
Prather-Rodgers joined the North Central College staff in 2007 but has been involved in ALA since her graduate school days, serving on various committees. She received her B.A. from Transylvania University and an M.S.L.S. (master of library science) from the University of Kentucky. "I've always found it beneficial to me personally as a librarian and to the College to be involved in a dynamic professional association like the ALA. The networking with other librarians and opportunities to learn from other schools is very worthwhile," she says.

For Immediate Release
October 21, 2005
A Hinsdale South High School social studies teacher was
awarded $25,000 today (Monday, Oct. 24) by the Milken
Family Foundation in recognition of his outstanding efforts
in the field of education.
Paul Kelly has only been teaching social studies for
seven years but the impact he makes on students reflects
a seasoned veteran. Paul is a dedicated teacher who is
committed to helping his students achieve actual learning.
Under his guidance, his students demonstrate real growth
in their knowledge, understanding, and skills.
A natural leader, Paul was selected by the Art Institute
of Chicago to serve on their High School Education Advisory
Committee and the Illinois Association of Sociology teachers
has had Paul present at their state conferences.
The combination of these skills is what led the Milken
Family Foundation to select Paul as one of three Illinois
recipients of the prestigious Milken National Educator
The announcement came as a complete surprise to almost
everyone in the crowded auditorium of Hinsdale South High
School. Under the ruse of a visit by State Superintendent
of Education Randy Dunn, an assembly was put together.
The reality was something on a bigger scale as local dignitaries,
politicians, and members of the school board took their
places. Then Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of
the Milken Family Foundation was introduced. A few people
in the audience recognized the name but the secret was
still intact. After a short speech about outstanding teachers
and the importance of education, Milken announced the
real reason for the assembly.
The prestigious award is given annually to teachers demonstrating
exemplary teaching skills and personal commitment to education.
Each winner receives $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation
which they can use for any purpose.
Paul's passion for teaching doesn't end with his students.
His colleagues describe him as the consummate professional
with a genuine warmth and concern for his students and
the school community. Fellow teachers gravitate to him
as do students. As a matter of fact, because of Paul's
enormous impact on students the school had to hire another
sociology teacher due to ever increasing enrollment in
the program.
As a teacher, one of Paul's greatest strengths is his
ability to reach out and connect with his students. He
is willing to do whatever it takes to help students learn
and he never stops trying to improve his teaching so he
can best help students. Students respect his knowledge
and are willing to work hard for him because they understand
he is truly interested in their success.
This year, 100 teachers in 48 states and the District
of Columbia will receive Milken awards. To date, the Milken
Family Foundation has honored a total of more than 2100
educators, and distributed more than $54 million in awards.
Ninety nine Illinois teachers and principals have received
the Milken National Educator award since its inception.

The State Board of Education today provisionally approved
new teacher preparation programs at Concordia University
and Illinois State University based on recommendations
issued by the State Teacher Certification Board. The new
programs respond to high-priority staffing needs in Illinois
schools. Provisional approval allows an institution to
conduct the program and recommend candidates for certification
until its next-scheduled five-year review.
Concordia University, in collaboration with Elmhurst
College, St. Xavier University, the Associated Colleges
of Illinois and the Golden Apple Foundation, had proposed
an alternative certification program that will prepare
candidates to teach mathematics or science at the secondary
level. The program, Transition to Teaching,
requires a candidate to complete 36 semester hours over
a period of 14 months. It is intended to target high-quality
specialists in subjects for which shortages exist and
may expand to include other secondary areas as shortages
are identified.
Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, had proposed
a graduate-level program that will allow candidates to
earn a special education certificate endorsed in Learning
Behavior Specialist II (LBS II). Three types of designations
will be offered in LBS II: deaf-blind specialist, multiple
disabilities specialist, and transition specialist.

Routers and Wireless security
With the rapid increase of all-in-one combined ADSL modems/routers/wireless access points a few hints and tips on securing these would seem appropriate. The following list is a general guide for what to look for. Some options may not be available on all routers whilst others may have more. The key is to understand what AND why you are doing what you are doing. If you are unsure about any changes you might make you can always make a note of the settings beforehand just in case or ask on the forums.
All routers come with a default administrative username and password the details of which are readily available on the Internet for all models. Change this immediately. A strong password will contain random numbers and letters and will be at least 10 characters long but even 2 small words with a couple of numbers in between goes a long way. If you lose or forget this you "should" be able to do a hard reset of the router to set it back to shipping condition.
Be careful with virtual servers (port mappings/reserved mappings). If you're not running an FTP server there is no need to set up a virtual server on port 21 for example. If you are trying to set up a service but aren't sure what ports it uses then do a little research first. If you have been running a service and no longer need it then remove or disable the virtual server. Don't leave an open door.
Triggers (possibly called something else on your router). These are often required by online games or instant messaging programs. If a security trigger is set for port 1720 then data going out on that port triggers the trigger and then ANY traffic back on ANY port from the destination (that destination ONLY) will be forwarded to the local client. Once the link is broken by either party then the trigger is reset and further traffic from the destination at a later date is blocked. Enable them if you need them for a specific purpose and then disable them until they are needed again.
This next one is not always the easiest to do but can reap benefits with the introduction of new features. Check for the latest firmware for your router. This will be available from the manufacturers website and will include bug fixes and possibly new features leading to a more stable and secure connection.
On a small network, and let's face it not many of us have more than 3 or 4 PCs/laptops at home then do we really need a DHCP server? The answer is no (with the exception outlined below) so turn off your DHCP server and assign static IP addresses to your PCs. Should someone manage to connect to your router they will not receive all the connection details making their life that much harder.
So now for the exception and the solution. The company laptop is great. You can use it at work, bring it home and still surf the Internet, email etc using your broadband connection. This happens either by using DHCP or by manually setting the IP address every time you use it at home which is a bind. If you must use DHCP for this reason then use MAC address filters to secure your network. A MAC address is a unique value hardcoded onto every network card by the manufacturer and cannot be changed so setting filters to only allow the MAC addresses for the cards you use is a great way to secure your network.
Wireless security is very important as unsecured this is probably the easiest way into a router. Make sure that authentication is enabled and check which type. For 802.11b or 802.11g you should try to use WPA if possible with a complex passphrase. If this is not possible then at least use 128 bit WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol). Whilst WEP is fairly weak it is better than nothing. Use a strong encryption key (random letters and numbers) and change it regularly.
Make sure you change the SSID (Service Set Identification) and block this from being broadcast if possible. The SSID is basically a friendly name you assign to your wireless connection. If this is being broadcast then anyone within signal range will know that your wireless connection exists, thus making it easier for them to try to use the connection.
If you only use your wireless connection at weekends for example or if you have a wireless capable router but no wireless devices yet then disable the wireless capability until you need it.
Be proactive. Check the routers log files to look for any suspicious activity. Ensure that Remote Management is not enabled and that you block pings from the WAN side of the router. If your PC is running UPnP then disable that too. It can unnecessarily opens ports when you may not need them.

June 21, 2012 —
Even though Donny and Marie were nowhere to be seen, I couldn't help but conjure up their image as Bethel Woods' first trio of concerts was a little bit country... and a little bit rock and roll. Opening night attracted a sold-out crowd, anxious to catch headliners Lady Antebellum, who were waiting in the wings as husband and wife country duo Keifer Thompson and Shawna Thompson, (AKA Thompson Square) warmed up the crowd. Combining both classic rock and country, the pair has quickly caught fire since their debut album began to climb the charts as recently as 2010, and it was clear that there were scads of T.S. fans in the house, as they enthusiastically cheered the two on, while singing along with their number one country hit "Are you gonna kiss me or not?"
After a brief intermission, the applause was deafening as Darius Rucker took the stage. Having first gained fame as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker is a consummate entertainer and his smooth style, sexy moves and Hollywood smile were infectious. As Rucker broke into "Get up and dance with me," the crowd did just that, and when he introduced his kids, who are currently on tour with him, the place went wild. Acknowledging his country roots, Rucker performed a variety of songs, including his number-one country hit "History in the Making," before handing the mike over to the stars of the show, country pop trio "Lady Antebellum."
Seven-time Grammy winning vocalists Dave Haywood, Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley are currently unstoppable as their meteoric rise continues unabated. Backed by an amazing band, their signature three-part harmony resonates with their audience, and when the trio declared that Bethel, NY was "probably the most beautiful venue we have ever had the good fortune to play," the screams of approval echoed far beyond the gates of the Performing Arts Center, nestled into the rolling, verdant hills.
Legends in the making gave way to living legend Ringo Starr (and his All Starr Band) on Saturday night, as the former Beatle bopped and swayed his way through a string of hits supported by consummate musicians, who rotate on an annual basis. In addition to All Starr alumni Richard Page, Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera, and Gregg Bissonette, new to the All Starrs are Steve Lukather (Toto) and Gregg Rolie (Santana & Journey). Starr, who has proven himself long ago, has wisely joined forces with incredible talents who have amazing track records of their own, and the combination is entertainment at its finest.
After performing interesting choices like Santana's "You've Got to Change Your Evil Ways" and Rundgren's poppy hit "Bang the Drum all Day," Starr mused aloud by saying "And now, I think I'll do a song from that other band I used to be in" before launching into "Boys" from the Beatles' "Please Please Me" album, released in 1963. Keeping with the theme, Ringo suggested that "If you don't know this one, you're in the wrong place" as the first notes of "Yellow Submarine" wafted through the cool night air, drifting toward the stars illuminating the Milky Way overhead.
After a solid one-two punch, Sunday provided another glorious sunset as sixties superstars The Beach Boys took center stage to celebrate their 50th anniversary Global World Tour, sounding as if they were still in their heyday. Original members Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine were joined by on again-off again group vocalists Bruce Johnston and guitarist/singer David Marks as they belted out hit after hit, including "Fun Fun Fun," "Surfer Girl," plus "And Then She Kissed Me" to name but a few of this incomparable troupe's endless array of chart toppers. Wilson, who referred to the groups "Surfs Up" album as having "hit the airwaves a while back, in 1862" was self-deprecating to a fault, poking fun at himself and his compatriots, while gratefully acknowledging their fans "unwavering support through the years".
In addition to a slew of solid gold hits, the boys performed a few numbers from their brand new album "That's Why God Made the Radio," which promptly debuted at number three on June 5, soaring to Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart a week later, which makes it the highest charting start for any Beach Boys album. Uber-fans Monica and Gary Takourian, of White Lake, who drove into the lot in their 1966 Cadillac Eldorado, sporting surfboards and a Beach Boys 50th anniversary placard on the hood, were a shining example of the Beach Boys never-ending phenomenon. In an ironic turn of fair play, it's not commonly known that Beach Boy Bruce Johnston actually wrote the Barry Manilow hit "I Write the Songs," but everyone knows who sings them. Long live the Beach Boys.
If the past week is any indication, The Bethel Woods Center for Performing Arts (already ranked among the top 15 in the country) will once again provide a backdrop for "Good Vibrations" all summer long and far into the future. For tickets and information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org [1] or call 866/781-2922.

Jose Mourinho insisted the future of Wayne Rooney is a decision for Manchester United as the tussle for the striker's services began in earnest.
Rooney is at the center of a row between Chelsea and United over a bid made on Tuesday for the player which was rejected by the Premier League champions. Mourinho was low-key when commenting on the offer in Bangkok on Wednesday, despite United provoking the Blues' ire.
Chelsea confirmed they want to buy Rooney, who is in dispute with United over comments made by manager David Moyes when he spoke to journalists in Bangkok last week. However, they are furious at suggestions David Luiz or Juan Mata had been offered as makeweights in the deal.
Speaking in Bangkok following the first match of his second spell in charge - a 1-0 win over Singha All-Stars - Mourinho declined the opportunity to fuel the argument.
"I think that this situation is clear - nothing is a secret anymore," he said. "The official bid is just about a certain amount of money and doesn't involve players. We want the player. We made the bid and now we have nothing more to say. Now it's up to Manchester United."
Asked if Chelsea had made any other bids, Mourinho said: "No, and we won't." Asked whether it is now "Rooney or bust", Mourinho said: "yes."
The Londoners are certain United were responsible for the suggestion of a part-exchange, which they insist was not true.
"Chelsea Football Club can today confirm that yesterday it made a written offer to Manchester United for the transfer of Wayne Rooney," said Chelsea in a statement. "Although the terms of that offer are confidential, for the avoidance of doubt and contrary to what is apparently being briefed to the press in Sydney, the proposed purchase does not include the transfer or loan of any players from Chelsea to Manchester United."
Asked specifically about any proposal to swap a player or players for Rooney, Mourinho said: "For me, no more comments. I have to respect Man United and my colleague David (Moyes), to respect even my players from Chelsea. The bid is there. The club knows we want the player. The player has to know we made a bid for him. Now it's up to them and we respect their decision. I work with my players now, as I've done from day one. I trust my players, I'm happy with them and that's what I have to do now.
"We did what we had to do in a proper way, in an ethical way, and we're very happy with our behavior. It was clean. Now I keep doing what I'm doing, working with my players, trying to improve my players, and we'll see what happens. Now he's with Man United, not with us."
There has actually been no suggestion United either confirmed the bid, or put the names of Mata and Luiz into the public domain. For their part, the Blues believe Mata and Luiz - both still on their summer break after featuring in the Confederations Cup - are key to their long-term plans and also want Rooney to be part of Mourinho's second coming. It does bring an additional twist to a story that is likely to rumble on for most of the summer.
Last week, Mourinho expressed his admiration for Rooney. But the offer has been made with the England striker back in Manchester for treatment on a hamstring injury and at a time when he is annoyed at the depiction by Moyes of him being a back-up for Robin van Persie.
So deep is his fury, sources claimed he was "angry and confused" about Moyes' statement, it seems impossible his nine-year stay at Old Trafford can be salvaged. That United should dismiss the offer so quickly is no surprise.
In recent weeks they have repeatedly insisted Rooney is not for sale, and the idea of selling to a domestic rival is particularly unpalatable. Yet it is difficult to envisage how United can possibly hold that line right until the transfer window closes. It increasingly appears Rooney's position is impossible, with United fans likely to turn against their one-time hero. And for Moyes, it represents a tricky situation given he is attempting to bolster his squad rather than weaken it.
Yet Rooney's reaction to Moyes' comments has been the trigger for a further deterioration in the relationship between club and player. Though it is thought Moyes did not mean the comments in the way they have come across, Rooney has reacted negatively. Moyes had said: "Overall, my thought on Wayne is that if for any reason we had an injury to Robin van Persie we are going to need him and I want as many options as possible."
As far as Rooney is concerned, he is at the peak of his career and has no intention of playing second fiddle to anyone, or being reduced to the rank of a squad player. With four Premier League titles and a Champions League winner's medal to his name, the 27-year-old does not believe he has anything to prove at United. Yet now he feels as though he has been put on trial by Moyes.
After months of speculation about his future, and no statement of intent to stay from the player, it is now clear that unless there is some major repair work undertaken, Rooney will be leaving. The manner of United's response is the first major test for Moyes and chief executive Ed Woodward since they replaced Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill respectively at the beginning of the month. Woodward today left United's tour earlier than previously anticipated to attend urgent transfer business in Europe.

My name is Debbie and I live in Richmond, Virginia. My purpose for listing interments and photos on this site is to add as many family members as I can possibly find while I'm still able to do so. My hopes are that when other family members and friends are ready to find family and extended family members that they are able to come here to Find-A-Grave and find their loved ones. If you are one of my family members and would like for me to add someone, by all means let me know. Feel free to leave photos of the family member you are here to visit. If I have listed something incorrectly or you would like for me to make a correction or add something, please bring it to my attention. Also if I have listed an interment and you would like to take charge of it let me know. My purpose here is to memorialize our deceased family members and give them the respect and honor they deserve. They are close to my heart and deserve to forever be remembered.

Debbie, are any or all the Hicks kin to you. Every one listed so far are my kin. My Grandmother is Katherine Dallas Hicks. I am trying to do the same thing you are doing. Get as much information out there to share with others and for those after I am long gone. I don't know you but you seem to be a nice person, the same with me. You don't know me. I live in Hopewell and I am 78 and will work with any one. If there is a good reason just let me know and we can work things out. I could drive to the cemetery and take a picture of his head stone. Lets work things out.

Hi Debbie,
Many thanks to you for putting some of my family members on Find A Grave. I am in the process of finishing up what my Aunt began many, many years ago. My daughter, husband, and myself are working on my family genealogy. Is is okay if I take over management of their plots? I have added many gravestone pictures and information.
Thanks for all you have done!

We started our DS with solid when he turned 6mths. He's now 5 days to 8 months and takes solids twice a day - lunch and dinner. We give him very thin rice porridge with fish and either potato or carrot - all boiled and meshed.
My concern is he's still drinking only about 3-4oz on average per feeding. He drinks EBM about 3 times in the day (once in the morning, once to twice in the afternoon) and once in the evening before bed if I come home late from work. Then, he wakes up at least 4 times to nurse at night! Usually at 11+pm, 1+am 3+am and 6+am. The PD said he's thriving well although his weight gain has slowed down alot since the 5-month mark. He can roll over & back on both sides, and can sit for afew seconds on his own. He can reach out and grab objects placed in front of him. He seems to be doing just fine developmentally.
But is his feeding pattern normal for an almost 8 month old? TIA!

On Deck for Tempe
With six hours to go until I find out how much gas costs in the middle of the desert …
Kernels beat writer Jeff Johnson of the Cedar Rapids Gazette notes in his blog that the Angels have still taken no action to help the flood victims in Cedar Rapids:
Still waiting for the Los Angeles Angels to even acknowledge there has been a flood in Cedar Rapids. The word is the Angels are waiting for the Cedar Rapids Kernels to tell them where it's best to donate some money. Why are you waiting, Angels? It's not hard to figure out: try the Red Cross, try the Kernels Foundation, try something! Despite what certain members of the Kernels front office and board of directors believe, there is absolutely NO loyalty in professional sports. The quicker you learn that, the better off you'll be. You are running a business, and it's very apparent you are not giving your business its best chance of success by continuing to partner with a Major League organization that NO ONE around here cares about. Or apparently doesn't care much about you.
Since some fan sites tend to see one line on a Transactions page and misinterpret it because they lack context, this appears in today's Inland Valley Daily Bulletin:
The Quakes made three moves after Thursday's game.
Catcher Alberto Rosario (.202) was sent to Triple-A Salt Lake City to fill in for Tim Duff, whose wife just gave birth.
Right-handed pitcher Marco Albano (2-3, 7.11) went to Double-A Arkansas and catcher Ikko Sumi came from rookie ball to fill in for Rosario.
Is it too early to talk about magic numbers?
Yes, if you're talking about the American League, although the Oakland A's seem to have run up the white flag by trading away Rich Harden and Joe Blanton, the latest victims of Billy Beane's mad scientist experiment. If he'd run scouting and player development properly instead of implementing the failed "Moneyball" mumbo-jumbo spawned from sabermetrics, his farm system wouldn't have been so barren that he had to hock his veteran players to replenish it.
But it's not too early if you're talking the Orem Owlz and Tempe Angels.
The Pioneer League has a 76-game schedule divided into two 38-game halves. Owlz manager Tom Kotchman is a master at manipulating these split-season sprints to get his teams into the playoffs. The Owlz are currently 21-9 — best record in the league — with eight games to go and a 1 1/2 game lead over Casper. Orem's magic number is eight. I don't know what the league rule is should they tie; head-to-head, Casper leads 4-2, so Orem should plan on taking the division outright. They can put it way by winning two home games hosting Casper on Thursday and Friday.
The Arizona League has a 56-game schedule split up into two 28-game halves. No divisions, all nine teams are together. (When the Dodgers arrive next year, they'll have ten and the schedule will change.) Tempe is 15-6, three games ahead of the Mesa Cubs and Surprise Rangers. (Surprise is a town, not an exclamation.) So the Angels' magic number is five to win the first half. The first half winner plays the second half winner in a one-game championship.
A shout out to Owlz pitch Will Smith, who totally dominated Great Falls last night in the Owlz' 10-0 romp over the Voyagers. Smith pitched six shutout innings, struck out nine, walked none, and gave up only two hits. For the season, in 29.1 IP he has a 34:3 SO:BB ratio and a 2.15 ERA. It should come as no surprise that he was a Tom Kotchman find in the 7th round, a 19-year old 6'6″ left-hander who might start drawing comparisons to Randy Johnson in a few years if his velocity develops.
Kotch could add another signing of his, 3rd rounder Ryan Chaffee, when he's healthy. Chaffee was supposed to be ready about now, recovering in Tempe from a broken foot, but I haven't seen his name in any Tempe box scores yet. I'll determine his status in the next couple days.

No one, huh Jeff Johnson? Okay. Tell you what. Since I am an aspiring writer, living in Iowa, and you seem to hate your job of covering an Angels team, you can quit, and I'll do it instead.
I seriously may email this jerk with a complaint.
If Jeff Johnson hates covering an Angels minor league team so much, I'd be more than happy to step in.
Hey, genius, the writer has a point…the Angels didn't even send out a press release acknowledging the flood happened. This, after 16 years as an affiliate?
Three playoff appearances in the last 10 years or so.
Promoting our best players while getting NOTHING in return from Orem so Tom Kotchman can get a ring for his next door neighbor's dog.
Minor league baseball IS a business. This isn't the mom-and-pop days of yesteryear…except in Cedar Rapids!
There is no loyalty to the Angels. After 16 years you see about four Angels hats at the stadium on any given night. Johnson is right when he says no one (except the above "aspiring writer") cares about the Angels. Apparently, as he stated, the feeling is mutual.
A small cadre of people make all the decisions in Cedar Rapids and as long as they're buying the Angels company line there'll never be a change. Get used to it Johnson!

Taking it to the Streets
Step up your game with a winter road- and speed-training program
Photo by BigStockPhoto
It was somewhere around January, in the dead of winter, when the realization took hold—I was confined to the pavement.
It's not that my hometown of Minneapolis lacks nearby trail access—quite the opposite. But a flash freeze had turned much of the Twin Cities' singletrack into icy death chutes. Some hardcore trail junkies toughed it out with screws in their shoes, but faced with limited daylight and a schedule that included grad school and two jobs, I gave into the convenience of the flat, paved trails that start just blocks from my doorstep. Quickly, though, I became bored.
To mix things up, I revisited a ghost from my past: speed work. Fartleks, intervals and tempo runs became a twice-or-thrice weekly undertaking. Soon I was running faster than I had since college, and entering (cold) road races with newfound confidence. When the snow melted and I stepped back onto the trails, I still dedicated two days a week to a tempo effort on the pavement adjacent to the Mississippi River, or a 1000s session on the University of Minnesota track.
After a brief readjustment to the varying tempo and more challenging terrain, I was running trails better than ever before—all because I spent the winter running on roads.

Books at Bedtime: Tales of Court and CastleWednesday, March 14th, 2012
I was introduced to the writing of Canadian storyteller, Joan Bodger, through this post on a blog called Pickle Me This by Kerry Clare. Intrigued by the post, I decided to look up some of Bodger's titles in our library for our bedtime read, and selected her Tales of Court and Castle, illustrated by Mark Lang (Tundra Books, 2003). Here was a book that was instantly attractive to me — I'm fond of folk and fairy tales of all kinds — but I wasn't so sure about how my daughter would take to them. The tales are very old — medieval, in fact — but told in a storyteller's voice that is compelling and fresh. Mark Lang's illustrations are marvelous. Appearing before each tale, they illustrate the tale's most compelling aspect quite vividly. There's quite a lovely image of the King and Queen in the tale, "The Warrior Queen," lying side by side in bed arguing who is the greater of the two, and a very haunting image of Iron John standing in the forest in "Iron John." For me, there were a lot of quiet aha moments of "So, that's where this story came from!" especially in the cases of "Iron John," the Tristan tales, and "To the Dark Tower" on which a famous Robert Browning poem is based. For my daughter, these tales were introductions to the magical world of the English tale with their mythical fairy worlds, inhabited by elves and forest spirits, and the like.
Joan Bodger was an interesting woman in and of herself, and her biography is a rich tale of its own. Canadian writer, Kathryn Kuitenbrower has written a compelling blog post on Bodger and her books here. Check it out for an in-depth account of a remarkable storyteller.

Dunbar School exhibit unveiled at museum
WEIRTON – The Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center unveiled its newest exhibit Saturday, with a display dedicated to the 23-year history of Dunbar High School.
The exhibit was put together with the assistance of Kim Salter, Corliss Brown and Bob Kelley, who donated two of the three curio cabinets used for the display.
It includes several photographs from the school's history, as well as diplomas, information about school sports and prominent students. The focal point on Saturday was information on Anthony J. Major, the school's first principal.
Saturday would have been Major's 114th birthday, and in recognition, Mayor George Kondik declared it Anthony J. Major Day in Weirton.
Kelley, an athletic standout at Weir High School, discussed some of the athletic history for the students attending Dunbar High, explaining football and baseball were played at Cove Field as well as an empty lot near the school, with basketball played only a couple of days each week at the Weirton Christian Center.
Kelley spoke of some of the teachers at the school, recalling stories of disciplined educators.
"I appreciate your coming out," Kelley said to those in attendance. "It's just something special."
Museum President Dennis Jones said the exhibit will be the museum's central display throughout the month of February.
"It will be up, as you see it, for at least the rest of the month," Jones said, explaining the items from Dunbar School will always be a part of the museum's collection.
The roots of Dunbar High School can be traced to 1917 when three African American children attended integrated classes at the Weirton Grade School. In the fall of 1917, a new grade school specifically for black students was opened and named after poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
Prior to 1932, any black students attending high school would have to attend Lincoln High School in Wheeling, or Grant and Wells high schools in Steubenville.
In 1932, because of overcrowding in high schools from neighboring communities, the Butler District Board of Education leased the abandoned Weirton Presbyterian Church building on Avenue F, with classes taking place at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Weir Avenue while renovations were taking place. Dunbar High School opened Sept. 28, 1932 with Major as principal, and Edith Lee and Thelma Warrick as staff members.
The school would temporarily move to another building on Avenue D in 1935, before its final home on Weir Avenue was built in 1939.
Dunbar High School held its final commencement in May 1955, with the graduating class consisting of Raeford Lester, Richmond Gibson, Thelma Dickey, Lawrence Chester, Fletcher Gregory, George Hopkins, Booker T. Walker and Daniel Young.

Comments: After trying on dozens of shoes this year after "my" shoe was discontinued, I have settled on the 1080 v2. I am a forefoot runner, who, at 112lbs, cannot wear a shoe that is too built up in the forefoot as it makes landing a mushy unstable affair. So far, the 1080 has been a good shoe for regular runs. It has a bit too much forefoot cushion for me but the shoe is still reasonably responsive and flexible. I have not used it for speed work yet but am pleased with the performance so far. Looking forward to trying the 880 v2 when it is released.
From: Jacey, NYC, USA
Comments: These shoes are wonderful for long runs as I need the forefoot cushioning on pavement and roads. I also wear an insert and NB always accommodates them well.
From: Linda, Long Beach, CA, USA
Comments: This is the worst running shoe I have ever used! I purchased them based on the idea that they are a neutral shoe geared towards larger runners. At 150 lbs, I'm not huge, but not small either. I took them out for a short run to see how they were. After 1 mile, my feet started hurting, after 2 miles, I started to get a blister on the ball of my foot. At 3 miles, I quit for the sake of my feet. I have used various high end Asics and Brooks without an issue. I tried these with some reservations, and I should not have. Running warehouse rocks, but these shoes, not so much. For the cost, they should have been great. If you are going to spend this kind of money, go with the Asics Nimbus or Brooks Glycerin. Your feet will thank
From: Sherry, NJ, USA

With the season coming up rather shortly I bring to you a series of "Division Winner" questions...WHO HAS THE BEST STARTING FIVE AND WHO HAS THE BEST BENCH??? WHO WILL WIN THE ATLANTIC DIVISION AND HOW WILL THE OTHERS PLACE BEHIND THEM???
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
the knicks...need i say more
Is that the official starting lineup for NY? Q'z komin off the bench insted of JCrawford??
New York Basketball!!
no none of the starting 5 have yet to be official, preseason hasnt even begun so theres a lot of time to see yet...them are just the projection starting 5...i hope Q-Rich does start though
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
love to see Knicks win this one, but lets face it New Jersey, Philly, and Boston... its a tougher division than we think.... got to think new jersey has the best chance here, we might suprise tho
The knicks are gonna top the atlantic division.
The X-factor will be my boy H20 - an espn insider article posted on Sept. 21st said that allan has been working all summer, his J is still silky smooth and has been draining 3's from the top of the key effortlessly.
They say he'll be ready from training camp.
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
if he comes back and is actually some use to us ill be very happy..but if hes going to come back and just take up a roster space from say Jackie Butler, Maurice Taylor etc etc I'd like him to sit down and shut up...last i heard, his speed isnt up to full not even close to consistent running, which means not a lot of running...or too much moving...which means limited D...oh wait he never played Defense in the first place..his jumpshot is beautiful and probably my favorite in the league besides the unorthodox style of Korver & Redd that I like...but besides for his legs hurting ive also got word that his WRIST is also in trouble...how you going to shoot a J with a wrist problem???
BACK on subject...does anyone else really see Boston as a threat? not me by any means. When your big offseason pickup is Brian Scalabrine theres something wrong..atleast well place 3rd, i think well win it though
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
i agree with nyknicks15, boston is defintly not a threat, they are currently in the rebuilding process. they lost the glove to mia and delonte west is a backup point guard, not a starter. did you also know that gerald green's right ring finger is half amputated? plus, nj has been battling some injuries. richard jefferson is coming off from wrist surgery, jason kidd's knees arent that great, and carter has been battling hamstring injuries. no comment on philly....*points gun at iverson*
1- NY Knicks
2- NJ Nets
3- 76ers
4- Boston Celtics
5- Toronto Raptors
we got a good shot at taking 1st in our divison if our guys stay healthy and if brown can change our defensive chemisry
what are your predictions for this year
As a Knick Fan, The Knicks definetly.
But seriously, I don't think the Nets can be stopped with the trio plus a up and coming star in Nenad Kristic. I think the Nets will take the division.
But, you still gotta have hope.
"One Team, One New York"
They can be stopped if one of their 'trio' is injured like we saw last year they just barley took the eight seed and lost badly to Miami, I think they got sweept.
Nets are looking mad good and as long as they can say injury free they really shouldnt have much trouble winning this division

Hmm I'm wondering if DD may have some thrush. Her tongue has a white coating on it..mind you, she still gets some formula supplement and that can cause a white coating as well, but since last night she has been rooting around and then will pull off either breast and also will spit her binky right out even after acting like she wants it. She also cries a little when she does this.
She was recently on antibiotic for 10 days, too.
Just wondering if it warrants a call to the ped or if I should just go ahead and get the ole Gentian Violet going.
