Be Their Guests1 of 12
By Woman's Day
Life has become a lot more casual these days—jeans for work, texting instead of calling—but that doesn't mean that there aren't still rules of etiquette. Whether you're going to a cocktail party or formal dinner, here's what you need to know to avoid offenses or an embarrassing faux pas.
RSVP On Time2 of 12
"If there's an RSVP date, try to follow that," says Lizzie Post, spokeswoman for The Emily Post Institute and great-great-granddaughter of etiquette expert Emily Post. "Even if you're not sure you can make it and need to check your schedule, this is your chance to buy yourself a little time." She recommends calling or emailing to let them know. "This is also your chance to ask what you can bring, whom you can bring and what you should wear if it's not indicated."
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Mind Your Money Manners
Bring a Gift…3 of 12
Unless it's a good friend whom you entertain with regularly (i.e. on a monthly basis) or it's a potluck and you're already toting food or drinks, bring a gift for your host. "A hostess gift goes a long way," says Amanda from Chicago. "It shows you've thought about how generous it was for me to open my home to you." And it doesn't have to be extravagant, according to Post. This is really a case where it's the thought that counts.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Dealing with Annoying People
And Leave It There4 of 12
Post notes that guests shouldn't expect their host to share the gift with them. "Your host gift does not have to be served that night, so don't be offended if the host puts it away. And if it's not eaten or finished while you are there, do not take it with you!"
ON WOMAN'S DAY: What Your Guests Won't Tell You
Don't Invite Others5 of 12
Whether it's your significant other, a friend or your dog, bringing an extra guest may just be the biggest mistake a guest can make, says Post. "As for bringing Rover, you don't know whether it's a no-pets home. As for bringing an extra friend, you don't know whether there's enough food." The bottom line is don't bring anyone—two- or four-legged—unless you've talked to your host first.
Keep Promises6 of 12
The last thing a host wants at a potluck dinner is just desserts and salad. "You don't know how the host has structured the meal. So if you show up with dessert when you said you'd bring an appetizer, you may have nixed out an entire course," Post says. "Make sure to call ahead if you're thinking about switching."
Avoid Criticisms7 of 12
Keep your negative opinions about your host's decor to yourself. "Don't make suggestions about how I should decorate my apartment," Amanda says. But that's not really enough, according to Post—you should also say something positive about it. You don't have to be over the top, but "at least say something like, 'Your house is lovely, it feels so much like a home.'"
Be Outgoing8 of 12
Even if you don't know anyone, attempt to be social. "There's nothing worse than seeing a friend or couple standing in the corner by themselves at a party—it makes me feel obligated to spend more than my fair share of time entertaining them when I need to make my way around the room," says Heidi from New York City.
Be On Time9 of 12
If your host is preparing a formal soirée (like a dinner, engagement or birthday), it's likely that they've timed their party prep very precisely, so showing up early throws off those last precious minutes they need to prep. "I think this is where the term 'fashionably late' came from," says Post. But, unless it's a casual cocktail party, it's equally bad form to be late. "Don't show up more than 15 minutes after the start time of the party," says Post.
Try The Food10 of 12
"Don't complain about the food or drinks," says Tracy from California. "Unless you have an allergy, you shouldn't say anything." However, Post adds, "It's important to let the host know if you are a vegetarian or a vegan. But because that is a choice of yours, it's also important to offer to bring a dish."
Say Goodbye11 of 12
Jeanette from Omaha, Neb., hates when guests leave without telling her. "Never leave without personally saying goodbye and thank you," she says. You don't want your host to wonder if someone was locked in the bathroom or got sick, but more important, it's ungracious. "If the host is mid-conversation, you can probably wait a couple of seconds," says Post. "This person had you over and she's wined and dined you, so it's only polite."
Say Thank You12 of 12
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's a little more involved than just saying thank you on the way out. "As a guest, it's really nice to call up your host the next day," Post advises. "You could even pop a note in the mail, or at the very least send an email." Not only is it polite, but it really makes your host feel good, and it will help him or her when deciding whom to invite next time!

The Ohio Northern Promise
The Ohio Northern Promise is a set of initiatives to make an ONU education more affordable, to reduce student loan debt, to sustain academic quality, and to prepare students for career success. Simply put, it is about ensuring that higher education, historically a key enabler of social mobility, remains accessible and affordable for bright young students and their families.
Key components of The Ohio Northern Promise
- 20-25 percent reduction in tuition rates (based on 2013-14 rates)
- A four-year graduation guarantee*
- Hands-on high-impact learning, a core component of every academic major
- Sustained job placement and graduate and professional school admissions rates for graduates
*Available across most undergraduate programs
Evidence of Value
What is an education of value? It is one that offers rigorous academics, and allows students an unlimited number of opportunities for training, experiences and enrichment, so that after graduation there are [truly] successful outcomes! Our placement rates in all of our colleges bear this out.
- PayScale ranks Ohio Northern University among the top three private universities, and in the top six overall in the state of Ohio for its return on college investment (ROI). ROI is a function of two things: how much students spend to earn a degree, and how much graduates earn. ONU placed 282nd (113th for private universities) out of 1,330 institutions nationwide.
- Ohio Northern graduates rank in the top 20 percent for median starting salary among private nonprofit colleges and universities in the Midwest region. (PayScale)
- A great education is an investment. Ohio Northern invests in the success of its students by offering more than $45 million in gift assistance as well as additional resources in the form of loans and work opportunities. We know that, to make dreams happen, it takes some investment on the part of families, too.
- Our professional financial aid staff works with each and every family to make a Northern education possible. We offer an individualized approach to families of the most motivated, talented students: a combination of merit scholarship, grants and other aid.
The Getty College of Arts & Sciences
- Arts & Sciences students gave more than 70 presentations and posters at professional conferences and co-authored five scholarly articles in 2011-12.

Anyway, I'm here to send congrat's to Woodson on a well coach game. And I appreciate him bringing defense to this team. I was never worried about the scoring coming from the Knicks, we have that locked down. If Woodson can maintain this defensive presence we will be a force to wreckon with.
D wins games and this is one of the main reasons D'Ant left...plus not being able to use a player that so many coaches in the league would be happy to have on their roster.
I'm comfortable with what I'm seeing right now. The players look happy too. lol
If Melo doesn't get back to 05-08 Melo with Woodson's Isolation system, than i dont know if there is anymore anybody can do with this guy.
gotta love the optimism around here...lol
Woodson having a real 3-point shooting SF in Kovak who is always moving without
the ball, plus Kovak have a great peremeter-defensive game, Woodson have no problem taking
Melo & Stat out the game when one of them take their time on defense to replace
them with "Novak & Jefferies" the two fowards should become a tandem to give
Melo & Stat bench time (together) to figure out what they have to do to win.
Last night win over Portland, Stat & Melo figured staying on the bench the final
16 minutes would lead to a Knicks win.
I dont see anyone bashing Woodson after he take this Knicks loaded roster of talent
on several winning-streaks in the remaining 23 games. The Knicks will win consistently
by having several different high scorers each game....
Last night win was Novak/Smith night.
Lin-Sanity 7 game win streak was from players putting twice as much energy on the defensive-end then they did on the offensive-end....when peeps dont bring that as the number-one reason for the Lin-Sanity wins....their topic is a waste of energy to read....Lin/Jefferies/Tyson
Mike Woodson's better than Mike Antoni.

Knicks learning new star-focused offense under Woodson
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
sounds like NBA coaching 101 to me. Nice!Speedball officially died in Westchester on Thursday.
Interim Knicks coach Mike Woodson staged his first practice Thursday and reporters got to see implementation of a host of structured, deliberate set plays that was absent in the read-and-ract Mike D'Antoni speedball offense. D'Antoni resigned Wednesday, feeling he didn't have enough guys buying into the share-the-ball system, specifically Carmelo Anthony.
Amar'e Stoudemire admitted the offensive system is changing dramatically under Woodson in blending more toward the superstars, less toward Linsanity. Woodson admitted afterward point guard Jeremy Lin still is in a "learning stage.''
"He's going to utilize his leading scorers, myself and Carmelo (Anthony), make sure he takes advantage of every opportunity on the court,'' Stoudemire said after practice. "We've been profound scorers all our careers. He wants to make sure we take advantage of that."
"It's going to be different for us,'' Stoudemire added. "Coach Woodson has his offense and offensive schemes. We have to readjust to that. We are all receiving it well. We're excited about it. We can't wait to play in the new offense.''
Real Talk
Very encouraging to hear about the direction we are headed with how todays practice went.
I really really hated the way the Hawks played under Woodson......
I pray that it was because he was limited by his personnel and not because he's a crappy offensive mind.

The NFL Draft is certainly an exciting time in the offseason during America's most popular sport—a time when unfortunate teams seek their franchise savior and a time when playoff teams seek their final piece that will hurdle them through the championship threshold.
But, even the best scouts in the country state that the NFL Draft is far from being a perfect science. If that were the case, the San Diego Chargers would have never selected Ryan Leaf in 1998 when Charles Woodson and Randy Moss were both still available.
Moreover, the Raiders would not have selected JaMarcus Russell when… well, the best wide receiver, the best running back, the best cornerback, and the best linebacker in today's NFL were available.
11. 2007 NFL Draft
Notable Players: Calvin "Megatron" Johnson, Darrelle Revis, Adrian Peterson, Joe Thomas, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch, Joe Staley, Marshal Yanda
In a few decades, this draft class has the potential to hurdle 11 spots to number one. Unfortunately, time travel is not available with contemporary technology. The list of current NFL superstars from this class really makes the 2007 Raiders front office seem incompetent.
10. 2011 NFL Draft
Notable Players: Cam Newton, Von Miller, A.J Green, Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman, Julio Jones, Aldon Smith, J.J Watt, Ryan Kerrigan, Andy Dalton, Justin Houston
The 2011 NFL Draft has players who—albeit some being troubled in nature—have potential to have a strong presence in Canton in twenty years.
9. 1968 NFL Draft
Notable players: Larry Csonka, Art Shell, Ron Yary, Elvin Bethea, Charlie Sanders, Curley Culp
Featuring half of the Dolphins perfect season-earning rushing attack, the 1968 NFL Draft features many obscure Hall of Famers who—when researched—make the NFL's history seem poorly remembered in the modern era.
8. 1965 NFL Draft
Notable players: Gale Sayers, Dick Butkus, Joe Namath, Fred Biletnikoff, Chris Hanburger
A draft class that sported arguably the most feared hitter of all time coupled with the man who—with one single win—brought the American Football League into relevance, 1965 was a year that planted many seeds of change in the professional football world.
7. 1969 NFL Draft
Notable players: O.J Simpson, "Mean" Joe Greene, Roger Wehrli, Ted Hendricks, Charlie Joiner
The best draft class from the sixties—featuring the league's first 2000 yard rusher and the scariest defender of the 1970's.
6. 1974 NFL Draft
Notable Players: Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Lynn Swann, Dave Casper, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, Mike Webster
The only notable player not in the Hall of Fame on this list is Ed "Too Tall" Jones. However, he was such an iconic figure in the decade that earned the Cowboys the nickname of "America's Team".
But, this draft class belongs to the Steelers—a draft that deserves praise due to the Steel City football team drafting a staggering four Hall of Famers.
5. 2004 NFL Draft
Notable Players: Eli Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Vince Wilfork, Steven Jackson, Chris Snee, Darnell Dockett, Shaun Philips, Jared Allen
It's still undecided as to who in this class will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. But, this class has three of the league's franchise quarterbacks and several key defenders. Hence, this class—while being nine years ago—still has a serious influence on today's NFL.
4. 1989 NFL Draft:
Notable Players: Troy Aikman, Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas
Only four Hall of Famers came from this Draft. However, they were four Hall of Famers who dominated the nineties. Troy Aikman took the helm of the dynastic team from the era, while Deion Sanders and Barry Sanders remain two of the most electric players in recent memory. Finally, Derrick Thomas—a linebacker with Canton-worthy talent– stands as one of the most tragic stories in NFL history.
3. 1981 NFL Draft
Notable Players: Lawrence Taylor, Ronnie Lott, Mike Singletary, Howie Long, Rickey Jackson, Russ Grimm
The draft class of pain infliction, Lawrence Taylor was a pass rusher who changed the game. In addition, Mike Singletary stood at the heart of the legendary 1985 Bears defense while Ronnie Lott roamed the backfields of the 1980's 49er defense.
2. 1983 NFL Draft
Notable Players: John Elway, Eric Dickerson, Bruce Matthews, Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Darrell Green
This draft is a class that is known for its quarterbacks. But, while the trio of stellar signal callers is rightly remembered, there were other players in this draft who deserve equal recognition. Bruce Matthews stands in a bloodline that equally deserves the title of "Football's First Family".
Also, the electrifying Darrell Green dominated the NFL for nearly two decades while Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record remains elusive to this day.
1. 1957 NFL Draft
Notable Players: Jim Brown, Paul Hornung, Len Dawson, Sonny Jurgensen, Tommy MacDonald, Henry Jordan, Gene Hickerson, Don Maynard
Jim Brown was in this class, which should be enough to vault it into the top of any list. But, accompanied by seven other Hall of Famers, this class included many stars such as a key member of the first ever Super Bowl champions.

Screen readers
Universalis has a special mode with a simplified display that is visible to screen reader software for blind and partially-sighted users.
Universalis normally starts in this special mode automatically when it detects that a screen reader is present and active. If this automatic detection fails, you can still put it into screen reader mode manually. To do this, open the Options menu by pressing the F2 key and then select the last item in the menu, which is called "Format display for screen readers" and has the shortcut S.
We have tested Universalis with JAWS and with Window-Eyes.
The Universalis display consists of a single window that contains the text of your chosen Hour. This window is a Microsoft Rich Edit control and is readable by screen readers.
A menu bar is attached to this window. It contains four menus: Date, Hour, View and Options, and also a menu item called Exit. You can close Universalis by selecting the Exit item, or by pressing Alt+F4, or simply by hitting the Escape key.
The Date menu
The Date menu (Alt+D) lets you choose which date you want to view. Each item also has a keyboard shortcut.
Yesterday (F6) goes back one day.
Today (F7) goes to today's date.
Tomorrow (F8) goes forward one day.
Go To Date (F5) opens a window that lets you choose any date in the 20th and 21st centuries, using drop-down lists for day, month and year.
On some days, optional memorials are celebrated. The bottom of the Date menu allows you to choose which optional memorial (if any) you want to celebrate on a particular day.
The Hour menu
The Hour menu (Alt+H) lets you choose which hour you want to view. In addition, there are two keyboard shortcuts not listed in the menu:
F12 goes to the next hour in the list.
F11 goes to the previous hour in the list.
The View menu
The View menu (Alt+V) contains settings that are relevant to the particular page you are viewing.
- In the Liturgy of the Hours, you can display the standard introduction to the Hour you are viewing, or the introduction which includes the Invitatory Psalm.
- In the daytime Hours, you have a choice between reciting the psalms of the day and the complementary psalms.
- In the Order of Mass, you can choose which Penitential Rite you want to see, which Creed, which Eucharistic Prayer, and so on.
The Options menu
To open the Options menu, press the F2 key or press Alt-O.
You can choose which font type and font size you want Universalis to use. This may be of some use if you are partially sighted rather than completely blind.
This page lets you choose which local calendar you want Universalis to use.
This page lets you set the following options for the Liturgy of the Hours:
Liturgy of the Hours: Invitatory Psalm: Whether to have the same Invitatory Psalm every day, or to have it change from one day to another, going through the four permitted options, as the Universalis web site does.
Liturgy of the Hours: Psalm translations: Whether to use the Grail translation of the psalms or the translation that is used on the Universalis web site. (The scripture readings are always in the Jerusalem Bible version).
Mass: Translations: Whether to use the Jerusalem Bible and the Grail psalms (which are used in the UK and many other parts of the world) or the New American Bible scripture readings and psalms. The New American Bible option automatically selects one of the United States liturgical calendars.
Mass: Greek: Whether to view the Gospel at Mass in Greek as well as English. See also Troubleshooting Greek for Windows Users.

The Oreck Advantage: Direct Suction
Our direct suction design delivers dirt in a straight, efficient path right to the vacuum bag. It's a streamlined design that works beautifully with a smaller motor — and one reason why Oreck bagged uprights are so lightweight. Here's how: our upright vacuums incorporate a "dirty air system" in which dirt is pulled through a fan that breaks it into smaller particles that get sucked up into the vacuum. Oreck's smaller motor drives this fan, as well as the brushroll. Because these smaller motors sit closer to the floor they provide efficient suction and are able to spin the brushroll incredibly fast.
Hard Flooring Surfaces

**Some limitations apply. For details, see warranty.

I didn't really feel like adding a + magic, or having them side by side, because it makes it seem like there's a seperate rank. I wasn't really sure what to do, but I figured I'd add clarification in v2.0.
Shouldn't the Excalibur icon be next to the Imhullu icon in regards to Dark Mages and Sorcerers? Or am I missing something?

The only gender-specificness involved here is Priests vs Clerics, and Battle Monks vs Battle Clerics. In these cases, their promotion trees are identical, just with different names for their classes. (They even have the same base/max stats!)
So it's not like FE8, where the promotion trees for Priests share a branch with Monks while Clerics get their own.

Intel Corp. on Tuesday officially unwrapped its next-generation microprocessor designed for high-end multi-processor servers. The new chip not only boasts with eight processing cores with Hyper-Threading technology, but the new multi-processor (MP) server platform also features functionality traditionally found in the company's Itanium processor family.
The new Xeon MP "Nehalem-EX" platform will substantially differ from the currently available Intel-based machines. Instead of processor system bus (PSB), the future Intel Xeon MP chips will use high-bandwidth QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) links which will enable much greater performance scalability in multi-processor environments thanks to abilities of central processing units (CPUs) to better communicate with each other. Thanks to QPI, for the first time in history Intel plans to offer its customers eight-socket platform, which is capable of processing up to 128 threads simultaneously in case of eight-core processors with HyperThreading enabled. Additional scalability options including greater sockets counts will be possible with third-party solutions.
The forthcoming Nehalem-EX will add new reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features traditionally found in Intel Itanium processor family, such as machine check architecture (MCA) recovery. Together with new levels of performance, both high-end processors should speed the move away from more expensive, proprietary RISC-processor based systems, Intel claims.
With new RAS capabilities for high-end enterprises, Nehalem-EX can accelerate IT adoption of Intel-based platforms over RISC-based platforms by delivering a lower total cost of ownership, higher performance, lower electricity bills and the ability to standardize on a flexible IT environment.
The new enterprise Intel Xeon processor based on code-named Nehalem micro-architecture featuring 8-cores (16-threads due to HyperThreading support), 24MB of L3 cache, 2MB L2 cache, has 2.3 billion transistors and is made using 45nm process technology. The chip that is known under Beckton code-name will have four point-to-point quick path interconnect links to connect to other processors as well as system I/O operating at up to 6.4GT/s. The forthcoming Intel Xeon MP chip will also feature capability to disable certain cores or cache domains to improve manufacturing yields. The "cache and core recovery" technology will allow Intel to disable caches or cores independently in case they are defective or because of market demands. This will allow Intel to create processors not only with eight cores out of the Beckton dies, but also make chips with sever-core, six-core, five-core or any other amount of cores that makes sense. The processor will require a new platform with LGA-1567 sockets.
The next-generation Xeon MP processors have four integrated memory controllers, but those controllers will not connect to memory modules directly, but will connect to special buffers instead. Intel has not yet fully explained the nature of its scalable memory buffer, but the brief explanation indicates that the technology is similar to FB-DIMMs with AMB put onto the mainboard. Each Xeon MP socket supports up to 16 DIMMs.
Intel will produce its Xeon MP "Nehalem" processors in late 2009 and servers on their base will be launched in 2010. Intel already has over 15 design wins from 8 OEMs with its new MP platform.

How to Grow
Start indoors 4-8 weeks before last frost, then transplant when plants have 2 sets of true leaves. For fall harvesting, start indoors 10-12 weeks before first frost. Spring and summer plants will benefit from protection from flea beetle, row cover works great. Uncover when plants are big and before the heads start to form. Broccoli prefers well drained, fertile soil and regular watering. All parts of Purple Peacock are edible and sweet: the heads, leafs and side shoots.

A Lansing man accused of threatening to kill an Allamakee County sheriff's deputy has pleaded guilty to a federal charge in the case.
Kenneth Haag was convicted Tuesday in Cedar Rapids' federal court of using a telephone to transmit an interstate communication threatening to injure another person.
Prosecutors say that between November 2011 and January 2012, Haag made numerous calls and sent emails and faxes threatening to injure or kill various county officials. In a plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to one instance of calling and threatening to kill a sheriff's deputy.
Haag, who remains in federal custody, faces up to five years in prison when he's sentenced at a later date.

Sophomore first baseman Mitch Wolfe went 3-for-5 with three RBIs, including a game-tying, two-run single in a six-run fourth, and five relievers each threw one scoreless inning as Eastern New Mexico University beat New Mexico Highlands 8-6 on Tuesday for a split of their baseball doubleheader at Greyhound Field.
The Greyhounds (9-7) made quite a turnaround after being outscored 47-5 in the three previous meetings with the Cowboys (10-2). Highlands won Tuesday's opener 10-2 and swept a season-opening twin bill by scores of 16-0 and 21-3 in early February at Las Vegas, N.M.
Highlands came into Tuesday's games averaging just over 15 runs a game, with 17 home runs and a team batting average of .430.
The Cowboys appeared on their way to a sweep, building a 5-0 lead in the third inning of the second game and extending it to 6-1 in the fourth on a run-scoring single to left field by David Bustillos.
The Hounds, though, countered with seven consecutive singles to chase starter Lawrence Lasenberry in the bottom of the inning. Wolfe's hit scored Sean Cruce and Luis Quinones to make it 6-6.
After a sacrifice, Garrett Cook tallied the go-ahead run on Chris Eaton's groundout.
Chris Martinez (1-0), Ricardo Martinez, Ryan Mitchell, Trey Polston and Anthony Smith combined to limit the Cowboys to three hits the rest of the way, with Smith earning his fourth save of the season.
The Hounds added an insurance run on a two-out Cowboys error in the bottom of the seventh.
ENMU banged out 14 hits, with Cruce, Cook and Randy Baca each getting a pair.
The Cowboys jumped on starter Mario Rodriguez (0-1) for four runs in the first and five in the third in the seven-inning opener. Catcher Phillip Rodriguez went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and left fielder Thomas DeAngelis was 3-for-4, including a two-run double in the third.
Senior right-hander Taylor Wichmann (1-0) went five innings for Highlands and allowed four hits, including freshman center fielder Luis Quinones' first home run.
ENMU returns to Lone Star Conference play with doubleheaders against Texas A&M-Kingsville at 2 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday at Greyhound Field.

After nearly a year of meetings and preparation, community transition efforts related to Cannon Air Force Base's new mission are about jump into high gear, according to members of the Local Growth Management Organization.
Lonnie Leslie, LGMO president, said Keystone International of Albuquerque has been selected as consultant to head a transition study that will be conducted over the coming months.
The one-year contract is for $542,775, with the federal government footing 90 percent of the bill.
The city of Clovis will pay $28,138, Portales and Curry County $11,255 and Roosevelt County $5,627.
The study will focus on multiple tasks, including impacts of the new mission on education, housing, health care and infrastructure such as roads and utilities, according to Leslie.
"It's a very comprehensive document that can be useful to both the cities and both the counties for years to come," Leslie said.
Meanwhile, LGMO officials are fine-tuning contract details in anticipation of Keystone starting in the next few weeks.
"Keystone had done work with Clovis in the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) process, so they had worked with our communities and already established baseline information on the area, which gave them a leg up," Leslie said. "The other thing is they've teamed with several companies in doing this, including engineering firms, hospital planning firms and companies dealing with economic development."
LGMO Vice President Everett Frost said the change of command in itself has lent some excitement to the organization's mission. He's hopeful with Special Operations personnel now in control at Cannon, data on what the community can expect to see at Cannon will become clearer.
Frost added getting the chance to plan growth management in a regional area is also a big deal.
"It's just not the kind of thing that happens in most cities and counties," Frost said. "The region will get to know itself better and set itself up for growth management and change."
Leslie said besides identifying challenges and possible solutions, Keystone is also charged with finding funding sources to address those problems.

How about we boycott them until the coach is fired? This team is not desperate for a trade. Just a coach who knows how an NBA team is supposed to run an offense.
Playoffs here we come. Pass the damn Kool-Aid
I'm with you. They play the way the Jazz used to play. The more I watch the Jazz now the more I can't stand watching them -- in fact, I have stopped watching them, for the first time since NBA League Pass started.
I fast forward whenever starters are playing. Saves me lots of time. And I've honestly started following the timberwolves. They're much more fun to watch and I don't feel like a big market band wagoner. In all fairness, I was watching the wolves when they were still crappy last year too. I'm done with the jazz until big al and/or Corbin is gone. I hate them both.
Games Tyrone Corbin has lost for us this season by not making adjustments or refusing to call timeouts to stop momentum: 11 (yes, I keep this number up-to-date)
Bandwagon boycotting fans? Ha! I'll never leave my boys. Ever.
It doesn't matter to me if the teams is bad, good, or what ever. They are still my team and I well watch them play no matter what. I do like good basketball and I watch other teams. (the T-Wolves being one of my league pass teams). But I well never not watch my Jazz

Three area players will get a chance today to add another win to state-championship high school careers.
Dora graduates Matt Carpenter and Chris Rolston, along with Adrian Loera of Texico, are set to represent the South in the 25th annual Class 1A/2A North-South All-Star Game.
The game is set for a 6 p.m. tipoff at The Pit in Albuquerque.
Rolston and Carpenter were starters on a Coyotes team that ended the 2002-03 season with 23-straight wins and its first state basketball championship since 1970.
Carpenter, a 6-foot-1 post, was Dora's leading scorer while the 5-foot-7 Rolston led the Coyotes in assists.
Loera, meanwhile, was a member of Texico's Class 2A state championship team in 2001. Loera was a sophomore on that team. Wolverines coach Richard Luscombe said that Loera didn't play a lot of minutes that season, but felt the team's success "helped him quite a bit" in his next two years.
"Adrian was easy to work with," Luscombe said. "He did everything I asked him to do and played hard. Obviously, he did things well enough to draw attention of the other coaches who voted him in."
The South will be coached by Tom Sanchez of Dexter High School, while the North is led by Tony Dinallo of Navajo Prep.
The North leads the series 18-6, and won last year's contest 92-80.

By Mickey Winfield: PNT Staff Writer
It's possible to play golf among cow patties and coyotes at Tatum's "cow pasture golf course. "
Located about an hour south of Roosevelt County, down Highway 206, it has unique fairways and greens.
Two years ago, Tatum Schools Superintendent T.J. Parks got together with some of his board members, who were ranchers, and came up with the idea of a golf course in a cow pasture. Instead of dealing with such typical hazards as sand bunkers and lakes, visitors to this 9-hole course will be tested by such obstacles as mesquite bushes and barbed-wire fences.
And the gallery observing golfers navigating the course is likely to be full of horses and cows.
Parks says even those who may not be scratch golfers or are new to the sport will enjoy themselves because this golf course is the great equalizer.
"Some people say, 'Well, gosh, I'm just not a good golfer.' Well out there, nobody is a good golfer," Parks joked.
The golf course is on city land, and is free of charge.
Parks is amused that his creation, once just a way for local folks to pass their time on the windy plains of Tatum, has become such an attraction.
"We just figured a couple of local guys would show up and we'd just play," Parks said. "And then, one couple flew in from Dallas. They graduated from here, and they wanted to come and check it out."
The course has so captured the spirit of Tatum that it has spawned its own golf tournament.
The second annual Cow Pasture Golf Tournament is set for Oct. 21.
The tournament is a four-person scramble. To register, visit www.tatumschools.org. Cost is $30 for early registration by Sept. 30 and lunch will be provided.
Parks said the funds raised will support Tatum's Meals to You charity that provides area seniors with hot meals.
Tatum resident Johnny Burns was last year's first tournament winner. He described a hole.
"It's a 5-gallon bucket set into the ground, and if you hit the circle on your shot, then you can pick it up after two tries, 'cause, heck, sometimes you can't never get it in. It's just a lot of fun," Burns laughed.
The course consists of three par-3's and six par-4 holes, for a total of about 4,500 yards.
Parks is quick to point out that the course is a good workout for players.
"It's about a five-and-a-half-hour deal (to finish the course). And whenever they're through, they're beat. That terrain just knocks 'em down. Walking through, and of course they're looking for balls all the time, and it just beats them to death," Parks said.
Parks summed up Tatum's one-of-a-kind attraction.
"Anything that you think that you wouldn't see at a golf course, you're going to see here."
From Clovis, head towards Portales and turn left on Ave. C. The road will lead to N.M. 206, about 65 miles from Tatum. The course is on the east end of Tatum, just off U.S. 380.

Robbie Cano! I Miss You
All of my Yankees are adorable. But there is something about Cano that I just love. He's just so cute!!! I miss Robbie Cano right now.
Robinson Cano
We knew from the beginning that Robinson Cano was a special player. But in the 2009 season, I think he really showed his stuff. Robbie hit .306 with a career-high 25 HR and a 85 RBI. He also had 204 hits, the most on the team besides the Great Jeter. And, Cano was extremely durable last season, playing 161 out of the 162 games. I have high hopes for Cano in the 2010 season, since he improved so much in 2009.
There are two things about Cano that endear me most. One of these is his adorable, ADORABLE Hispanic accent. Cano, a native of the Dominican Republic, does speak English well considering everything. Take a look at this sample of his cutness:
The best is when he was with Melky (….sigh…..my baby). The two were (it pains me to use the past tense…) best buddies. *Idea for future post* I will do a post about Melky and Cano togehter. Anyway, Cano and Melky were cute together. I love how Robbie had to translate for Melky:
Too friggin cute.
The other aspect of Cano that I can't get enough of is his smile. It is so endearing. Cano's smile just says "Hi. I'm a little boy who loves baseball and who loves having fun." So cute:
Cheer up, dude.
Robbie, you little cutie, I hope you are enjoying your offseason. You were such an important part of the 2009 Championship. I hope for even bigger and better things in 2010!
Stay cute😉
7 Comments
Cano does have the best smile. I hope he doesn't miss Melky too much and has his most productive season yet!
Oh good, you're back, Virginia. Nice post. You're right. Melky and Cano are cute. But Andre has a nice smile too.
In deference to Jane, Cat and you Virginia, and with all due respect, I will not trample your little Cano LoveFest in a manner befitting Godzilla going through Tokyo. : )
I will just say if his Baseball Maturity catches up with his skill, he could be one of the most lethal players in MLB…he just needs to take his job a little more seriously. He's learning. Larry Bowa used to keep on him. He needs to do it on his own now. I'm not hatin'…I'm just sayin'.
Aw, Jane….I think I am going to miss Melky more than Cano…and that's saying something!
Oh Cat. No matter how much I fawn about my Yankees, you will always know the truth: I think Andre is the finest speciman of man to ever walk the Earth. -Sigh-….so flawless…
I do agree, Mike. Sometimes I think Cano is a little….lazy. And Larry Bowa was great with him. Too bad Joe Torre had to take him away, too. Hopefully, Cano will play to his fullest potential in 2010.
Hi Virginia,I'm a first-time commenter, but your blog always makes me giggle. It's so cute! Also, Cano … love him. He's absolutely adorable, and this post totally made me smile.Ttyl,Ana enternight.mlblogs.com
what a carefree dude. that smile can light up this whole town. sorry heard taylor swift today! haha
Nice entry about Robinson Cano. He is a class act and he can do no wrong. I hope the Yankees can get out of this blizzard mess and train in Florida in peace.

- Abstract
- In this paper, we present deep high-quality photometry of globular cluster systems (GCSs) belonging to five early-type galaxies, covering a range of mass and environment. Photometric data were obtained with the Gemini North and Gemini South telescopes in the filter passbands g′, r′ and i′. The combination of these filters with good seeing conditions allows an excellent separation between globular cluster (GC) candidates and unresolved field objects. In fact, our previously published spectroscopic data indicate a contamination level of only ∼10 per cent in our sample of GC candidates. Bimodal GC colour distributions are found in all five galaxies. Most of the GCSs appear bimodal even in the (g′−r′) versus (r′−i′) plane. A population of resolved/marginally resolved GC and ultracompact dwarf candidates was found in all the galaxies. A search for the so-called 'blue tilt' in the colour–magnitude diagrams reveals that NGC 4649 clearly shows this phenomenon, although no conclusive evidence was found for the other galaxies in the sample. This 'blue tilt' translates into a mass–metallicity relation given by Z& 8733;M0.28 ±0.03. This dependence was found using a new empirical (g′−i′) versus [Z/H] relation, which relies on an homogeneous sample of GC colours and metallicities. In this paper, we also explore the radial trends in both colour and surface density for the blue (metal-poor) and red (metal-rich) GC subpopulations. As usual, the red GCs show a steeper radial distribution than the blue GCs. Evidence of galactocentric colour gradients is found in some of the GCSs, which is more significant for the two S0 galaxies in the sample. Red GC subpopulations show similar colours and gradients to the galaxy halo stars in their inner region. A GC mean colour–galaxy luminosity relation, consistent with [Z/H]∝L0.26 ±0.08B, is present for the red GCs. Estimates of the total GC populations and specific frequency SN values are presented for NGC 3115, 3923 and 4649.

Do you think this school made the right decision or should they let these students mourn in whatever way helps them to cope?
SOUTHGATE, Mich. (WJBK) -
After 13-year-old Tyler Nichols took his life inside his school, classmates made clothing and jewelry to honor his memory. Now administrators at Southgate's Davidson Middle School say those items are no longer allowed.
"She just was bawling and bawling, and I'm like I will be there as soon as I can," said Gena Pizo.
She will never forget the day her daughter called saying her friend and classmate since kindergarten committed suicide inside a school bathroom.
There have been plenty of tearful days for the kids, but Pizo said students have made clothing and bracelets saying things such as "rest in peace Tyler" or "fly high Ty" with the suicide awareness symbol, and that seems to help.
"It was very traumatic for them, especially when it happens in school," Pizo said. "They wear it because they feel that's how they're going to recognize their friend, remember him."
Since the suicide to deal with their pain, some students have been wearing their sweatshirts, bracelets and T-shirts in memory of Tyler, but parents received an email Wednesday night that said as of Friday, April 12, students will no longer be able to wear that clothing and then tried to explain the reasons why.
"They don't want to glorify suicide, and I don't think the kids are trying to glorify it. I think they just want to remember their friend. It's only been two and a half weeks," Pizo said.
According to the email, the decision was based on research from the Association of Suicidology and National Association of School Psychologists that says continued visual reminders can lead to decreases in cognitive function and the inability to focus and retain and process information, among other things, and memorial clothing may be glamorizing the death.
"We're going by what is being recommended to us, and we've looked at things, too, and there's not a right answer in all this stuff," said Southgate Schools Superintendent Bill Grusecki. "So we're looking at getting back to as normal as possible in the most timely fashion we can, and we feel we're making the right decision. We've even touched base with Tyler's parents, and they believe this is the right thing for us to do, too."
He explained if students continue to wear the clothing, they won't be punished, but they will have to speak with counselors to help them work through their grief.
Pizo speaking on behalf of a lot of concerned parents said the school should anticipate just that because their kids don't plan to stop wearing the clothes that are helping them cope with their loss.
"I just want the kids to be able to grieve for their friend," she said.
