The month of December is a turning point for all of us.
In your districts, you have made it halfway through the school year. In
We know there is a critical need to improve how
education is funded and the level of funds available for education in
I have asked the superintendents who serve on the IASA State Superintendent's Advisory Group, superintendents at a variety of regional meetings, and our State Board members over the past weeks if there was only so much money available next year, what they would focus on first? Resoundingly, I have heard: "Fund the mandated categoricals". Further, many of those responding to my question specifically elaborated on how an excessive amount of their resources is being absorbed by the rising costs related to special education, which in turn can short change other important programs.
In the short-term the ISBE is focusing our top priority on recommending new funds in FY05 be used for the full funding of the mandated categoricals for FY 05 at the statutorily formulated levels. In the long-term we know, and are working toward, changes in the formula that fund the mandated categoricals for special education, so that the dollars received best reimburse districts for the expenses incurred.
I appreciate your continued support and input on this matter.

Our program for each one-day conference will run from to Sessions include topics on what happens in the process of reading acquisition, appropriate ways to help middle-grade students improve reading comprehension, how to use valid assessments to shape your middle-grade reading program, and how to build a reading culture at your school. During lunch, we'll hear from a panel of educators whose schools have reversed a trend of low or declining reading scores to learn how they did it. Since one of the goals is to create a practical action agenda to guide our continuing efforts in this area, each conference will conclude a discussion of future steps. Conferences are scheduled as follows:

Rich Harvest Links
Sugar Grove, Illinois
July 6 - 9, 2004
SUGAR GROVE, Ill. â Amid afternoon thundershowers and a two-hour rain delay, Jennie Arseneault of Grinnell, Iowa, fired a final round 1-over-par 75 to earn her first AJGA victory at the Midwest Junior Championship at Rich Harvest Links. Second-round leader Kyle Davis was declared the winner of the Boys Division, after heavy rain forced the final round to be canceled. His tournament total of 142, 2-under-par, made him the only competitor in the field to finish under par for the tournament.The Midwest Junior Championship at Rich Harvest Links is a 54-hole stroke-play event, conducted by the American Junior Golf Association. The tournament includes 110 boys and girls junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 19 states. Two Rolex Junior All-Americans and 61 Illinois residents highlight the field.Entering the final round, Arseneault trailed Carly Truitt of Marysville, Ohio, by two strokes. After the rain delay and a slow start by Arseneault, including a double bogey on No. 3 and a bogey on No. 4, Truittâs lead grew to four. Arseneault turned the tide quickly, making birdies on the par-3 seventh and par-5 eighth. After a par on No. 9, coupled with a bogey by Truitt, Arseneault had her first lead of the tournament. âI got off to a really slow start after the rain delay,â Arseneault said. âThe birdies on Nos. 7 and 8 really got my momentum going.âA birdie by Truitt on the short par-5 11th got the two back to square for the tournament. However, Arseneault was able to pull away, making consecutive birdies on holes Nos. 13 through 15. After a drive in the fairway, she knocked a 7-wood to eight feet for birdie on the 13th. Her tee shot on the par-3 14th ended just five feet from the hole, and on the uphill par-5 15th, Arseneault got up and down for the third consecutive birdie.Truitt made the final hole interesting knocking her second shot to ten feet for birdie. Nevertheless, Arseneault was able to save a bogey after hitting into the greenside bunker. Her tournament total of 7-over-par, 229 was good enough to capture the victory. Her previous best AJGA finish was at the 2004 Nike Golf Junior at South Padre Island where she finished second.âIt feels really good to win this event, I have been waiting a while,â Arseneault explained. âTo win at such a tough golf course and against great competition, is even better.âTruittâs final round 78, gave her a tournament total of 230, and second place to herself. Kelly Calkin of St. Charles, Ill., finished the tournament at 237, and in sole possession of third place.In the Boys Division, heavy rains and threatening weather conditions forced the cancellation of the final round. First place honors were awarded to second-round leader Davis of Kennett Square, Pa. His tournament total of 142, was three better than his nearest competitor.âI am very happy to win this event,â Davis said. âI would have preferred to have played the final round to decide the outcome, however, this proves why it is important that you play well every day.âDavisâ previous best finish in an AJGA event was a tie for 15th at the 2003 ClubCorp Junior Players Championship. He also has earned victories in the 2003 Pennsylvania Junior and the 2004 Pennsylvania State Match Play.âThis golf course is in great condition and very difficult. This win is definitely my biggest junior tournament win to date,â Davis commented.Jeff Kaiser of Onalaska, Wis., finished in second place with a tournament total of 145. Andy Winings of Franklin, Ind., Craig Cerbins of Portage, Wis., and Peter Uihlein of North Dartmouth, Mass., all finished at 147, 3-over-par. Winings had the low round of the tournament with a 68, including a 31 on the back-nine. The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989.

(4) The Department of Defense shall protect the child's rights, by assigning an individual to act as a surrogate for the parents, when after reasonable effort the Department of Defense cannot locate the parents.
B. Procedural Safeguards
Parents of children with disabilities are afforded the following procedural safeguards, consistent with appendix G of this part to ensure that their children receive appropriate special services:
(1) The timely administrative resolution of parental complaints, including hearing procedures with respect to any matter relating to the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of the child, or the provision of EIS for an infant or toddler, age birth through 2 years, or a free appropriate public education for the child, age 3 through 21 years, inclusive.

(3) The right to provision of written notice and to have furnished consent prior to the release of relevant information outside the Department of Defense.

(6) Written Notice. The right to prior written notice when the EDIS or school proposes, or refuses, to initiate or change the identification, evaluation, placement or provision of special services to the child with a disability.
(i) The notice must be in sufficient detail to inform the parents about:
(A) The action that is being proposed or refused;
(B) The reasons for taking the action;

(A) Written in language understandable to the general public.
(B) Provided in the native language of the parent or other mode of communication used by the parent, unless it is clearly not feasible to do so. If the native language or other mode of communication of the parent is not a written language, the school system shall take steps to ensure that:
(i) The notice is translated orally or by other means to the parent in his or her native language or other mode of communication.
(ii) The parent understands the content of the notice; and
(iii) There is written evidence that the requirements in paragraph B.(7)(ii)(A) and paragraph B.(7)(ii)(B) of this appendix have been met.
(8) Independent Educational Evaluation. A parent of a child (3 through 21 years, inclusive) may be entitled to an independent educational evaluation of the child at the expense of the DoD school system if the parent disagrees with the DoD school system's evaluation of the child.
(i) If a parent requests an independent educational evaluation at the school system's expense, the DoD school system must, without unnecessary delay, either:
(A) Initiate an impartial due process hearing to show that its evaluation is appropriate; or
(B) Ensure an independent evaluation is provided at the DoD school system's expense. Unless the DoD school system demonstrates in an impartial due process hearing that an independent evaluation obtained by the parent did not meet DoD school system criteria. In such cases, the parents must bear the cost of the evaluation.
(ii) If the DoD school system initiates a hearing and the decision is that the DoD school system's evaluation is appropriate, the parents still have the right to an independent evaluation, but not at the school system's expense.

(11) Due Process Rights. (i) The parent of a child with a disability, the Military Department, or the DoD school system has the opportunity to file a written petition for an impartial due process hearing under appendix G of this part. The petition may concern issues affecting a particular child's identification, evaluation, or placement, or the provision of EIS or a free and appropriate public education.
(ii) While an impartial due process hearing or judicial proceeding is pending, unless the EDIS or the DoD school system and the parent of the child agree otherwise, the child shall remain in his or her present educational setting, subject to the disciplinary procedures prescribed in section H of appendix B of this part.
(12) Transfer of Parental Rights at Age of Majority. (i) In the DoD school systems, a child reaches the age of majority at age 18.
(ii) When a child with a disability reaches the age of majority (except for a child with a disability who has been determined to be incompetent under State law) the rights accorded to parents under this Part transfer to the child.
(iii) When a child reaches the age of majority, the DoD school system shall notify the individual and the parents of the transfer of rights.
(iv) When a child with a disability who has reached the age of majority, who has not been determined to be incompetent, but who does not have the ability to provide informed consent with respect to his or her educational program, the Department of Defense shall establish procedures for appointing the parent of the child to represent the educational interests of the child throughout the period of eligibility for special education services.

Teaching at Florida State Univeristy in Tallahassee, FL, Kathy Guy '98 Guthrie still has flashbacks to her days at North Central College. When she ponders how to best reach her students, she reflects on her days as a student of Tom Cavenagh, Schneller Sisters Professor of Leadership, Ethics and Values. " I still think about his teaching today, how he would get students to care about a topic," she says. "He was one of the people at North Central who changed my life."
Guthrie is an assistant professor in Florida State's department of educational leadership and policy studies within the College of Education. Her duties include teaching and mentoring students at all levels in leadership studies—undergraduates, master's students and doctoral candidates. In addition, she serves as the faculty advisor to the University's Union Board, which focuses on community-building activities. "This was a perfect fit for me since I was involved in North Central's College Union Activities Board as an undergraduate," she says.
She was recently named winner of an Outstanding Contribution to Student Affairs Award for the southeastern region of Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education.
While earning her Ph.D. in educational organization and leadership at the University of Illinois, Guthrie worked in community organizing and became director of the office of volunteer programs. She became specialized in the area of "civic education" and her dissertation looked at the motivation of students to become involved in co-curricular volunteer and service-learning activities.
Today, engagement and active learning in the classroom are her passions as a professor. She views the students in her classroom in a much larger context. "The goal of all education is simple—to make the world a better place," she says. "That's why we gain knowledge—to create positive change. So I'm always considering how my students can apply their knowledge. You can teach them theory, but will they use it for the greater good or let it sit in their backpacks?"

Well the blockbuster is complete.
Pringles has an insane team of Parker/Kobe/Gay/Nene/Howard/Wall/Wallace/George/Harden/Pierce
That will make you **** yourself, I apologize to KBlack25 for allowing Pringles to have such a beast squad..you gotta deal with that in week 19. Whats cool is that I also did a block buster with KBlack by giving him LeBron, Bynum and Jennings. A heavyweight match up and match up of the week next week. 6-5 vs 8-3.
I like the deal with Pringles because I get all of my favorite players that I always wanted to be Knicks.
and Batum
and Love is going to carry my franchise, so I'm cool with that.

Early Childhood Education
Prevention Initiative: Evaluation of Programs for Children from Birth to Age Three Years
Fall 2011 – Summer 2012
An evaluation of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Prevention Initiative programs was conducted by Erikson Institute from Fall 2011 through Spring 2012. PI programs provide child development and family support services for expecting parents and families with children ages birth to three. They utilize a variety of delivery methods including home visiting, parent training, and parent child interaction groups. All programs are required to use a research–based program model and curriculum for the services they provide. The evaluation took an in-depth look at a representative sample of 30 PI programs throughout the state (excluding the city of Chicago), assessing program quality through site visits with programs and case studies with home visitors and families.

It takes a village...
Now in its third year and sponsored by Hilltop Homes (www.facebook.com/pages/Hilltop-Homes), the event is well on its way to becoming (IMHO) legendary. Dunlap and company work tirelessly to create this fantastical display, replete with well over 100,000 lights, snowmen, reindeer, a working train that runs through the village and a cocoa and cookies station. In addition, families had an opportunity to have their picture taken with the fat man inside Santa's workshop and this year, the great team at Thunder 102 radio (www.thunder102.com) provided a live broadcast from the event.
DJs Paul Ciliberto and Mike Sakell were kind enough to invite yours truly to stop by the Thunder 102 tent, so with Dharma (the wonder dog) in tow, I made my way, guided by the zillion lights illuminating the display and met up with the guys and special guests, musical brothers Ken and Barry Somerville (www.somerville brothers.com), who performed holiday classics for the continual stream of visitors who had heard that Santa was in town.
It may take a village, but I have to give Dunlap and family their props. Although the first to acknowledge that he "couldn't possibly do it alone," (and the assistance is considerable), it's Dunlaps' vision that has become a testament to what a community can accomplish when banded together in the name of "good will toward men." Having stopped by earlier in the day before the magic began, I spoke with Dunlap, who gave me a little "back stage" tour before the crowd began to swell. "We figure that by this time [the last weekend before Christmas] people are worn out from the hustle and bustle, and this is our way of giving something back. After running around, stuffing stockings and spending their hard-earned dollars, this two-day event (which is free of charge) is our way of giving to the community-at-large."
Families were encouraged to drop off gifts for those in need (Toys for Tots) and several other sponsors have now hopped on board to assist. As I chatted on-air with the Thunder team, I was awestruck by the mountain of toys that appeared, the cozy fire that kids could warm their hands around as they stood on line, patiently waiting for their turn to see Santa and Mrs. Claus and the countless volunteers (many of whom were students from the area), all giving of their time and considerable effort in helping Dunlaps' dream come to life.

The ibis is found inhabiting areas where there are large amounts of water. The ibis enjoys to eat aquatic animals so it prefers to be in areas such as swamps, marshes and wetlands where food is in abundance.
There are roughly 30 different species of ibis found around the world, that vary in size and colour depending on the species. The ibis can vary in size from the tiny 5cm tall dwarf olive ibis to the giant ibis which to grow to more than a meter in height and inhabiting the remote forests of Cambodia and parts southern Laos.
Ibis are generally very sociable birds that gather together in large flocks both to feed and to find a partner during the mating season. Despite their relatively large size, many species of ibis rest in the safety of the trees and not on the ground.
Although the ibis is an omnivorous bird that eats both plants and animals, when there are plenty of aquatic species about, the ibis has more carnivorous diet. The ibis hunts fish, insects, small reptiles, frogs, small mammals and crabs,which the ibis picks out of the mud using it's long and pointed beak.
Due to the relatively large size of the ibis, it has few natural predators besides large birds of prey that often steal the eggs of the ibis, or the young. Snakes are known to eat the ibis around the world, along with wild cats and foxes.
During the mating season, the female ibis builds a nest in the trees that is made out of sticks and reeds. Ibis commonly nest close to a large amount of water such as a river or a lake, with other water-birds such as herons.
The female ibis lays up to the 3 eggs which hatch after an incubation period of just a few weeks. The tiny ibis chicks are dependent on their mother for food, and develop quickly meaning that they leave the nest when they are about 6 weeks old.

The pressures a mutha, can you help a brotha?
I only post this list for my Pops, that way he'll think I'm famous. Rockpile Rant came in number six for the week of January 16-22. My stealth plan is working.

2. Confessions of a She-Fan
3. Ranger Rumors

Too bad he'll probably never know it because I don't think he's a regular reader of my blog, but Mark Newman was a big part of my motivation and ultimate decison to quit smoking. I was reading in his blog a while back that he used to smoke and that he successfuly quit and took up marathon running.
Every now and then in his blog he plugs a marathon that he's participating in.
Marathon running has got to be hell on your lungs, and going from smoking to not, and then getting your lungs in good enough shape to complete a 26 mile race…..I think that's quite a feat.
When I look at him, I think if he can do it, I can.
So know this Newman, whether you read the Rant or not, I respect you brotha. You managed to successfully quit smoking and turned your focus into getting yourself healthier. (Plus I like the way the articles you write carry the reader through them).
Right now, I'm just trying to get through to the next day. I get these wicked cigarette cravings that are so intense….
Not only would I walk a mile for a Camel cigarette, I believe I could do it with the camel strapped to my back.
It's been over two weeks. Props to my wife too, she a few days behind me, but she's still winning the battle herself.
Problem is she and I can't really talk about it too much or we both wind up wanting to smoke…Anybody been in that spot before??
Mark, your the guy I want to hear from.
How did you do it dude?
How much did you used to smoke?
What was the hardest part for you?
Who did you turn to when you needed help?
Had you quit before and failed?
What was the defining moment for you?
Do you do you still crave them?
Today felt like day one to me. I forgot my patch.
Give a brotha some words of encouragment. Your all about helping others learn how to improve their writing skills, it would be appreciated if you could give a fellow blogger in need a few tips on how to prolong his life?
Please don't take this the wrong way Newman, I just need some help man. Give me the benefit of your experience in this department.
We can call it C-Quit School, yeah I like that.
You could give a monthly motivational paragraph or so for those of us quitting or contemplating quitting smoking. Use your blog and your experiences for the good of the people.
No It's not often I'll ask anyone for help, but in this instance I'm all ears. Teach me…D
15 Comments
First -congrats to you & your wife D!!! It isn't easy to do! And I agree – Mark needs to give you some "love" and help you out! Keep it up!
Hang in there D….you can, and will, do it. My Dad smoked for many years and quit. It will make you be in better shape to snag all those baseballs this upcoming season!! Spring Training is drawing close my friend……Jim
JIM-WHAT's up man? I miss reading your comments. Just seeing your name makes me think of batting practice brotha…Hope all is good in your world…D
JULIA-You and R-Luv have been there everyday for me. Don't think I don't notice…I owe all of you who comment here daily with support and kind words. I also appreciate that you know you can post your opinion even if yours doesn't follow my path …D
Hey D,
Hang in there man. I can't imagine getting through the day this early on without the patch. Kudos to you for doing it. I think it took me several months before I was able to go patch free. I'm glad to hear that Krista's on the wagon too. Stay strong guys.
#6! That rocks! You go man!
(Almost Fan Fest time)
I think this is such a noble goal to quit smoking, and I think it's really important too. Now, this story… I don't want to scare you with it, but motivate you rather.
My Grandma smoked for a long long time, it took her a while to quit (wayyy after you), and she ended up with lung cancer. I watched her deteriorate for three years as she fought the cancer, and when she became terminal, I vowed I would never smoke. And she inspired me to try and prevent my friends from starting up, and to help my friends stop. I think you should stop as soon as possible so that you and your wife never have to go through this. Quitting now will vastly reduce your risk! You can do it!
Congrats on #6, D! And way to keep up with the non-smoking. Great job for you and your wife. You're both on your way to longer, healthier lives! You guys can do it!
Don't ever say anything bad about anyone or in this case write anything bad.. they may be reading
D Sr.
"Congratulations" to both you and your wife in your battle to stop smoking … Hang in there, you both can kick the habit !!! … Also, "Congratulations" on your #6 ranking on the latest Leader's List !!! … Way to go, moving up the List !!! … Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L" http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
Congrats on your ranking! I'm glad I stopped by. You've got a great blog and I'll be sure to visit again. I smoked for YEARS before quitting. It can be done!!!!
Wow, all these comments and my dad too.
JANE-Thanks and welcome to the Rant, Congrats on holding firm at # 2. Props on your book girl, I hope you make a million.
JIMMY-Thank you, congrats on #15 brotha.
JULIA-I've hyped the appearance of the MBU so much, I may be in trouble…
JEN-…This is a good start, I'm already breathing much better.
ELIZABETH-Thanks, by far the toughest thing I've ever tried to do.
R-LUV-Thanks, I had the patch on today, wasn't going there again..Tomorrow's Saturday🙂 …D
Am I a bad person if I say keep smoking? I say that 'cuz I smoke and haven't been able to quit. Congrats on the sixer.
JEFF-Not at all brotha, I got a few more years on you, it's just my time..Thank you, congrats on Top Dog again…D
Hey, Don. Just do it. Best ad slogan ever. Blog about how you did it, not how you are going to do it. I broke a box of Kools in half in December 2006 and that day bought a box of Asics instead, joined NY Road Runners, and when you put a big, ugly, ridiculous, impossible goal out there (in my case it was NYC Marathon), it forces you to make changes. I was drinking water constantly and keeping grapes, nuts, celery sticks, whatever healthy snack food around to substitute for those cravings. Everyone's different but I hear from so many people who quit smoking and started distance running. There has to be something big pushing you to make the change, and only you know what that is. I wanted to live longer for my boys. Go get 'em, you can do it. Best – Mark/MLB.com http://mlblogs.mlblogs.com
Thank you sir, I appreciate your advice. I am still smoke free, it's been over a month now. Cigarettes are evil brotha…I too want to live longer for my kids. Thank you for sharing your story…D

U.S. U19 Men Look to Regroup for Gold Medal Run
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter
|The members of the U.S. under-19
men's national team held a players-only meeting after a loss
Tuesday to the Iroquois, its second loss of the tournament after
falling to Canada on Saturday. "The two teams we lost to, the one

TURKU, Finland – For about two hours on Tuesday night, the members of the U.S. under-19 men's national team held a players-only meeting in the dorm complex they are sharing with the homestanding Finns and teams from Australia and England during the FIL U19 World Championships.
It was a few hours after Team USA was stunned by the Iroquois Nationals in a 15-13 pool play loss, the first time any Iroquois team had beaten the U.S. in international field competition. The defeat was the U.S.'s second of the tournament after falling to Canada in overtime on Saturday. This time, after the Iroquois game, the team went to a dinner with family members and staff at a local Turku establishment, then took a bus back to the Petrea complex where they've spent much of their time since arriving in Finland over a week ago. There was plenty to talk about.
"It was pretty clear that even though we felt that we had better talent than the two teams we lost to, the one apparent thing was that they played more like a team," defenseman and co-captain Stephen Jahelka said. "When everything goes wrong you rely on your teammates, on the guy next to you. We talked about realizing what we have in front of us, realizing a year's journey ends in five days. Everything that we worked for since the four-day tryouts of just brutal competition is all going to end in five days. We are the ones that control how we go out of this thing."
The U.S. faces a road to a gold medal that will almost certainly include rematches with both of the teams that already beat them. After defeating Germany 22-2 in a quarterfinal game on Wednesday, the first of those rematches is set for 8 p.m. (1 p.m. EST) on Thursday, when Team USA faces the second-seeded Iroquois for the second time in three days in a semifinal game. Top-seeded Canada plays England in Thursday's first semifinal at 5 p.m.
Equipment manager Jay Bissette actually started off the players meeting by reading quotes relating to the Battle of Midway, the epic World War II battle in which the U.S. responded to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
"He said, 'Everyone is counting you out right now as the three seed. I don't know why. Every one of us believes in you.' By the end of the meeting everyone had smiles on," Jahelka said.
The meeting went uninterrupted until around 11 p.m., aside from a food drop off by assistant general manager Chuck Apel. The last 30 minutes focused on Xs and Os, with the opportunity given for players to ask questions and provide input about particular sets on offense and defense. Midfielders Ryan Tucker and Sean Mahon stepped up to provide direction about the team's man-up unit, about moving and sharing the ball. The defense talked about ways to treat the Iroquois' invert sets.
"Anything that anybody had on their mind, or on their chest that they had to get off, we did it," midfielder Mike Tagliaferri said. "It really helped us out, I think, and is going to be the difference between the first half of this tournament and the second."
On Wednesday morning at a walkthrough practice, the team worked on some of what they discussed. Now, they'll put the practice to use on Thursday in the semifinals. The championship game is set for 4 p.m. Saturday.
"We've taken our lumps, now it's time to step back up together," U.S. head coach Tim Flynn said.
For the U.S. to take its seventh gold medal, here are some things to focus on, based on the view from my seat:
USA's Keys to Gold
The level of play has been raised by the U.S. group in crunch time, coming back from three goals down in the fourth quarter against Canada to go up one in overtime, battling back-and-forth against the Iroquois in the second half after the Iroquois used a 6-0 run to take the lead. The U.S. has showed its potential and ability to come up in big moments. It's just now time to have that sense or urgency for all 80 minutes.
Against the Iroquois, the U.S. focused on getting out to a good start. They did, leading 4-0, but allowed the Iroquois to come back, in part, because of penalties and turnovers. A three-goal spurt in the first four minutes of the third quarter helped the Iroquois run to take a two-goal lead. Against Canada, the U.S. trailed the entire game until tying the score at 7 midway through the fourth quarter. It went up 9-8 in the first OT, but couldn't close it out. The U.S. is 0-3 in games decided by two goals or less, going back to its overtime scrimmage against a group of Philadelphia all-stars. If they don't put away the Iroquois, and potentially Canada, by the mid-fourth quarter, they will have to reverse that trend.
The U.S. hasn't gotten many easy goals in this tournament. Aside from three transition goals in the first half of the Iroquois game, goals in unsettled situations have been few and far between. For a team that hangs it hat on having versatile, athletic midfielders who are capable of up tempo play, this is a concern. It's not a matter of if, but when to push.
"In the Canada game we felt like they dictated the tempo of play," said attackman Kyle Keenan, who had two goals and three assists Wednesday against Germany, playing more of a feeder-type role. "We're looking for the right time to push it and the right time to settle down and get long possessions."
This is always a focus, but even more so here. Canada and the Iroquois have potent man-up units. Canada was only 1 of 4 the first time around vs. the U.S., but the Iroquois were 4 of 7. There have been a ton of penalties called throughout this tournament on every team, more than I'm used to in the U.S., particularly at the end of scoring plays or for defensive interference. Officials have shown that they will call a penalty at the tail end of a score, on most post-whistle hits on the shooter, even ever so slight. And the timing of these penalties hurts. You go man-down right after giving up a goal. Sometimes, the U.S. has used this to its own advantage on offense, although it's man-up could also use a boost, going 2 of 6 against the Iroquois and 3 for 8 against Canada.

has been Team USA's go-to offensive threat during the FIL U19 World
© Tero Wester
In the half-field, a bonafide set up man or point-behind attackman has not emerged. Tucker, who sat out Wednesday's game as a precautionary measure with a shoulder injury, dictates a lot of offense from the midfield, but the closest initiator down low has been lefty Matt Kavanagh, who is the team's best finisher (and leading scorer with 16 goals, 6 assists in five games). He normally sets up shop on the right wing, but that could be the good starting point. He's shown an ability to feed the center of the field from that position and find open men, set a pick, as well as an ability to score one-on-one from that spot. Against the Iroquois in the fourth quarter, he took a defenseman one-on-one to cut the lead to 11-10, then to tie the game, he drew two defenders in virtually the same spot and threw a beautiful pass to Tagliaferri on the backside crease for an easy goal. It was instant offense. Kavanagh, a Notre Dame recruit, and Tagliaferri, a California native, North Carolina-bound middie who loves dodging the alleys and is athletic enough to beat most defenders here, had all of the U.S.'s points in the fourth quarter and each finished with four goals.
"[I was] feeding off my teammates like Matt Kavanagh, Ryan Tucker, Sean Mahon and Steve Pontrello, finding my role, hitting shots when I can and moving the ball," Tagliaferri said. "Good things will happen."
As for Kavanagh, I don't think there's a defenseman in the tournament that can limit him all day. If he gets going early, it should open up things for everyone else, and then he could pick his spots when to go to goal himself. In a potential final, getting Canada's big defenders moving around in the zone is key to open up lanes to keep the ball hot. Also watch midfielder Sean Mahon, who scored two goals and hit a pipe on his only three shots against Canada, and contributed greatly the fourth-quarter comeback effort. The U.S. has also been generally unlucky, hitting several pipes in its last three games.
This goes for particularly against Canada. So many times in the 11-9 overtime loss, the U.S. won the ball out of the initial faceoff, but did not secure the ground ball and possession. The U.S. maybe had one or two wing ground balls in the first meeting. Canada's starting faceoff guy Jason Lindsay lost four of the first five faceoffs he took and was replaced by Zach Currier, who was very effective. Sometimes it looked like Currier was more interested in knocking the ball away from Charlie Raffa, Tyler Barbarich or Stephen Kelly and waiting for wing help to arrive rather than winning the ball himself. The U.S. will need to adjust to Canada's faceoff and wing play.
"Our guys did a nice job of tying them and trying to scrap for ground balls," Canada coach Taylor Wray said. "For us, face off is a ground ball between two competitors. We're going to get out there and we're going to scrap, right and hopefully win the majority of the possessions."
The U.S. fared batter against the Iroquois, winning 18 of 30 draws with about an even split in wins between Raffa and Barbarich.
Goaltenders Zach Oliveri and Justin Turri have stopped basically most shots that they should have. If they have a chance to see it, there's a good chance they'll save it. But against Canada and the Iroquois, who are all about "that one extra pass," the U.S. defense has paid dearly for not covering off-ball finishers on the crease.
"We fell apart a little bit defensively off-ball," Jahelka said after the Iroquois loss. "They're very good at that, much like the Canadians."
Oliveri and Turri have been used in some combination in each of Team USA's three exhibition games and all but one of its tournament games here. Aside from Turri playing all 80 minutes against England while Oliveri rested, Oliveri started every game in Finland and Turri entered off the bench to start the second half -- until Wednesday against Germany. Turri started and Oliveri came in for the second half. Will this continue in the medal rounds?
Both goalies have played well. Oliveri is a great communicator as well a ball-stopper and under normal circumstances, there would be no reason to take him out at the half. But the coaching staff has gone with the tandem approach since the U.S.'s first exhibition, playing Oliveri, a righty, with the lefty Turri. Turri has played remarkably well for coming in cold, has made some spectacular saves and was steady in the second half against Canada in crunch time. Does the tandem approach help or hurt defensive consistency? And/or what rotation will the U.S. staff go with?
The U.S. was one offsides call away from closing out Canada in the second, four-minute overtime period on Saturday. They were up one before the penalty, which gave possession back to Canada and ultimately led to them scoring the final three goals of the game. The U.S. was never able to get the ball back. Against the Iroquois, the U.S. rallied multiple times to tie the game in the second half after it looked like momentum was well in the Iroquois' favor. In short, this thing isn't over yet.

As with any healing practice, you'll want to do your homework before choosing a reflexologist. Your goal is to find a reflexologist who has taken the proper training, as opposed to someone who has just had a brief introduction (such as a two week course or a weekend workshop) and think they have mastered the techniques of reflexology [4]. Reflexologists recommend finding someone with experience reflexologist, because it takes a lot of practice to build sensitivities in the fingers and to be aware of energy flow.
Consider the following suggestions as you begin your search for the practitioner who best suits you:
Ask friends, family, and other healthcare providers for a referral. Asking friends, family, and other healthcare providers for referrals is a very good way to find a reflexologist. People who have seen the practitioner and who know you will often be good judges of a "good fit." It is important to work with a practitioner who feels right to you.
Check out the websites of professional associations. There are several professional associations for Reflexology. Their websites provide information on reflexology both locally and around the world. The following sites let you search for reflexologists in your area.
Be sure to ask about training and certification. Many practitioners are lay practitioners, perhaps trained at a massage school, without the in-depth training required for certification in reflexology. Ask how many hours their reflexology training was (most nationally recognized programs require 110 hours).
Ideally you would look for a nationally certified reflexologist, who has not only trained at an accredited institution, but has passed a national board exam. See Is Reflexology Regulated? [8] for more information.
The advantage of a reflexologist who is nationally certified and experienced is that you will benefit more from the session. Your time, energy and money will be wisely spent.
Ask the practitioner how they work. If you enjoy deep work, ask the practitioner if they are able and willing to provide firmer pressure during the session. Many reflexologists prefer not to use firm pressure because they have found it is not necessary in order to achieve optimal results. If deep work or gentle work matters to you, ask before you schedule an appointment.
Explore your payment options prior to committing to a session. Reflexology is typically fee-for-service. Insurance does not currently cover reflexology. (If reflexology is performed by a hospital employee on a hospitalized patient, it may be covered as part of the overall treatment plan. However, if reflexology is performed on a hospitalized patient by a practitioner who is in private practice, the patient will be charged for the session.) Thus, it is important to discuss payment with the practitioner prior to the reflexology session.
Reflexology is sometimes reimbursed under employee flexible healthcare plans, but it is important to contact employers or the benefits office to make sure.

These solar-powered lights make an excellent solution for outdoor locations that don't have a typical electrical supply available. Designed for wall-mounted applications just about anywhere, the lights work well to illuminate a doorway, back deck, stairway, recycling area next to the garage, a shed, or other location in need of illumination. Each light features a square-shaped solar panel that soaks up the sun by day, which effectively recharges its rechargeable AA battery (batteries are included) for night-time use.
When the sun goes down, the lights turn on automatically, for a foolproof maintenance-free way to keep dark areas well lit. Depending on the amount of sunlight received during the day, the lights can provide up to 10 hours of illumination at night. Housed in plastic, these lights offer safe water-resistant performance from one season to the next, and installation's a breeze (no wiring required). The energy-efficient solar-powered lights each measure 118 x 81 x 59mm.

'A Landscape Meditation'
October 23, 2013 —
BETHEL, NY — The Stray Cat Gallery's next show, "A Landscape Meditation," features the work of two local artists who are expert in capturing the rural beauty and ambiance of their surroundings. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, October 26 from 4 to 7 p.m.
After retiring from the corporate world, local artist Caroline Harrow now spends her time depicting old barns and nature scenes in realistic watercolors. Her limited, muted color palette has often been compared to Wyeth. Artist Teegan Kennedy, like Harrow, focuses on rural landscapes, including especially the Hudson Valley and Bethel, where she maintains a studio in a barn on her property. In the barns, lakes, even the utility roles lining the sides of the country roads, she attempts to capture the quiet of what she sees, the peace and stillness, and the essence of the light.
The show runs from Friday, October 25 through Wednesday, November 6. Gallery hours are Friday, 11 to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 to 7 p.m. and Sunday 10 to 5 p.m., or call 845/583-3141 for an appointment. Visit www.straycatgallery.com.

My daughter has been reverse cycling for about 2 months. She nurses at night and only drinks between 4 and 6 oz. at the daycare. I was pumping 3 times a day at work and I dropped one pumping last week. I still had to freeze 40 oz of breast milk last week!!! I never have had a over supply of breast milk - I always pumped what she needed until she stopped taking the bottle at daycare.
What has been your experience? It would be nice to drop down to one pumping so it doesn't interfere so much with work, but I obsess about my milk supply going down and Maxine not having enough milk. Maxine is 10 months old, so she does eat lots of food too.
I am sure that you all know the feeling, "Am I pumping enough milk? When am I going to pump? Oh no I only got 2 OZ, am I drying up?" I have so many fears about just going down to pumping once a day.

Dominion Lecture Series
Mon, 16 Sep 2013 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
7-9 p.m.
Room 2301, Health and Human Services Building
"Debunking the Myth: The Hierarchy of Oppression" presented by the Rev. Irene Monroe, religion columnist and motivational speaker. How can we improve gender climate at JMU? Many of us experience gendered microaggressions in our work world but we aren't sure how to respond. Perhaps we can begin by thinking about what it means to experience oppression. The hierarchy of oppression is the false belief that one oppression – and it's usually the one a person identifies with – is greater than other oppressions. This talk works toward the goal of community by examining the intersection of race, gender, class and sexuality, and how they impact identity, identification and community building on college campuses.
Provost Jerry Benson will introduce the lecture and a reception will follow.
For information, call Kristi McDonnell at (540) 568-7998. Free.

The Belles have appeared at various community events, including the local Women's Club, the Mountain State Forest Festival Distinguished Guest Dinner and the West Virginia State Baptist
Their performance at the Randolph County Community Arts Center is titled "Bells on Broadway." Show tune favorites will include selections from "Oklahoma!," "Fiddler on the Roof," "Annie," "The Sound of Music," "Cats," "Phantom of the Opera," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Lion King," "Les Miserables" and
The ringers include Lori Daniels, Betty Cromer, Liz Tinney, Jayne Harris, Hannah Daniels, Mycha Kalar, Tessa Randolph, Rose Harvey, Belinda Coberly and Joyce Hutton.

Hi! It seems like I've monopolized this website in the last 3-4 days, I apologize for keeping on this topic, but I'm so tired and so is my baby after each night of wiggling and writhing himself to sleep. I'm glad you all have helped me consider that his system is immature and probably the cause of his troubles (and not the foods I'm eating).
I finally let him keep going last night and he wiggled and writhed and grunted himself into a full fledged cry. I thought maybe he was just needing to do his thing and could sleep that way, but apparently not. It is really hard to see him in so much discomfort- but also his grunts and groans are SO loud that virtually no one could 'sleep through it" or even learn to sleep through it.
Today I took him to the pediatrician and he said it's ok to give him mylicon but i don't know how often? IT says you can give it to them up to 12 times a day (with each feeding), but I wouldn't want to do that! Does anyone here use Mylicon? If so, how often do you use it? How quickly does it work? Is it something that LLL totally disagrees with? I tried some today at 1pm and it seemed to help him break down gas bubbles and be in less pain, but i don't know when the next time I should use it is.
