Springfield, Ill. Illinois public school districts
may now apply for grants to help offset costs incurred
while educating and assisting children displaced by Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita last year. Governor Rod Blagojevich ordered
Illinois schools to open their doors to students displaced
by the hurricanes and more than 1,000 evacuees from the
storm-damaged areas enrolled in Illinois schools.
On December 30, 2005, President Bush signed into law
the Hurricane Education Recovery Act. The legislation
authorizes three new grant programs to assist school districts
and schools in meeting the educational needs of students
displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The program
also helps schools that were closed as a result of the
hurricanes to reopen as quickly and effectively as possible.
Parents/guardians of displaced students enrolled in public
school districts in Illinois do not need to take any
However, parents/guardians of displaced children attending
recognized nonpublic (private) schools (listing
here: http://www.isbe.net/accountability/pdf/np_directory_district.pdf)
in Illinois must submit an application form to the public
school district in which they currently reside or are
temporarily staying. Application forms are available at:
Relief grants for nonpublic students will initially be
paid to the local public school district. The local public
school district must then provide those funds to Emergency
Impact Aid Accounts administered by the registered nonpublic
school in which the displaced student is (or was) enrolled.
For more information regarding the rights of displaced
students in nonpublic schools, please see the Hurricane
Education Recovery Act at: http://www.isbe.net/katrina/Hurr_Educ_Recov_Act_0106.pdf.
The Hurricane Education Recovery Act provides financial
support to schools of up to $6,000 per student and $7,500
per student served under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA).
Details of the Hurricane Education Recovery Act include:
The USDE plans to provide more information soon regarding
the application process. ISBE will post that information
at http://www.isbe.net/katrina/default.htm
as soon as it becomes available. For more information
contact Darren Reisberg, ISBEs Deputy General Counsel,
at 312-814-2223 or by email at email@example.com.

Speas Growing Centrally
The Columbus Dispatch - February 24, 2014 09:34 AM
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – When Ben Speas was making it hard for Robert Warzycha to take him out of the Crew's lineup last season, it was on the left side of the midfield. Now as the homegrown player looks to carve out a role under new Crew coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter, it will come from a more central location.
Speas has been playing as a central attacking midfielder this preseason as part of the 4-2-3-1 Berhalter has been deploying.
"I like it a lot," Speas said. "Either one (inside or outside) is OK with me. I like to be on the outside and go one-on-one but I also like to be in the middle and combine more. It's good. I'm just getting used to the position and trying to find those little spaces in there to receive the ball and turn. It's good."
Last season, Speas did not see action in the season opener but started the next six straight games and scored his first career goal in a 2-1 win against D.C. United on March 23 – his third start of the season and fourth of his career. It was enough to keep him in the lineup for a few games even when forward Jairo Arrieta returned from duty with Costa Rica's national team. However, he was in and out of the starting lineup for the rest of the year, finishing with 19 appearances including 10 starts in his second season with the Crew.
During the offseason, the Crew acquired a pair of wingers in Daniel Paladini and Hector Jimenez, plus the 4-2-3-1 formation has meant returning leading scorer Dominic Oduro is playing on the right side of the midfield. As a result, Speas finds himself backing up Federico Higuain – the team's designated player – in the middle of the attacking end of the midfield.
"You can just watch him," Speas said of Higuain. "All his little movements, there's a reason for them. It's perfect to have a guy like that to learn from. I don't even really need to ask him – you can kind of tell and use him as an example. I watch him all the time just to see what he's doing and where he's going. He's a great person to learn from."
Berhalter said he likes Speas' potential at the spot.
"He has a great ability to get into good positions," Berhalter said. "He reads the game well offensively and I think that's a position where you have to take advantage of that skill set. (He's improving in) consistency, strength, strength in tackles, end product, but he's a guy who is doing great."
Speas said he is fine playing either position.
"That's where they're playing me (now)," he said. "I like it. I like to be in the middle there. I like to turn. If it happens to where I'm back on the outside, I'm fine with it. I like it. I think I feel comfortable there."

Yankee Bats Sleepless In Seattle As All They Did Was Hit!
Bombers Bang Out 11 Runs, CC Very Strong
The last time the Yankees went out west, they lost every game. They made sure that wouldn't happen this time. They weren't exactly The Drama Club last night, but I'll settle for a blowout. Unlike the last 13-6 blowout vs the Red Sox, this blowout was actually a well played game. The Yankees beat the Mariners 11-1.
Pitching Analysis: CC Sabathia was just incredible. If anybody says the Yankees were stupid to pay CC so much because he is not that good, then either they are just jealous or they need to have their head examined. CC went 8 innings, and 74 of his 105 pitches were for strikes. He gave up 1 run, a 2 out solo shot by Josh Wilson in the 5th, and just 3 hits while striking out 10! It was a beautiful performance by CC. It was a nice way to follow up his great start against Boston. His past 2 successful starts should give him something to build on.
CC was fantastic last night.
Brian Bruney pitched a scoreless 9th. CC gave everyone else in the pen the night off. Pitching was definetely a plus last night!
Defensive Analysis: As with solid pitching, the defense was solid. In the 3rd, Ichiro managed to get a hit with 1 out, but it was quickly erased due to a lovely turned 6-4-3 double play.
Offensive Analysis: It was a fun night to be a Yankee at the plate. 11 runs on 15 hits! In the 2nd inning, with runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 out, Jerry Hairston hit a bloop double, which scored a run. He has done nothing but good things for the Yankees. Another run scored due to a wild pitch. 2-0 Yankees.
In the 3rd, the Yankees scored 3 more runs, thanks to the longball. Jeter hit a leadoff homer, and Matsui hit a line drive 2-run home run. 5-0 Yankees! In the 6th, Jeter singled and scored on a Mark Teixeira double. 6-0 Yankees.
Jeter rounding 3rd after his homer.
The 7th was another big inning for the Yanks. Johnny Damon led off with a double, then Tex walked. After a pitching change, Matsui singled, which scored Johnny. Swish walked to load the bases with 0 out! With 1 out, Melky got an RBI groundout. So with 2 out, Jerry Hairston, or as EJ calls him, "The J-Hey Kid," got another 2 out hit that scored a run. It was now 9-1! In the 8th, Hideki Matsui hit a 2-run homer to bring the score to 11-1. He had quite a night at the plate!
So the Yankees bats were sleepless in Seattle last night. They got contributions from players up and down the lineup. The heroes are Hideki Matsui, for filling in nicely for Arod in the cleanup spot and going 4 for 5 with 2 homers and 5 RBI, Jerry Hairston for proving he can hit with 2 out, and CC Sabathia, for a fabolous start and for giving everyone in the pen accept Bruney a day off. The Tigers beat the Red Sox last night, so the Yankee lead is now even more cozy at 6.5 games! Yippeeee! GO YANKEES!
**Note** My aunt from Florida and my Grandma from the city are coming to visit me today and will stay for the weekend in honor of my 16th birthday on Sunday. So I might not have time to post or comment, because we will be busy. But I would love to if I could, so I will try to make time, but I'm not making any promises :)

So the Drama Club go on the road and crush Seatle, now thats no way for a Drama Club to behave, there suposed to be nice caring people….LOL
Outside the Phillies Looking In
15 hits and 11 of them scored. That's pretty sweet!
Nice win, even though I hate to say it, the Yankees spanked the Mariners.
Well, if we don't hear from you this weekend, have a Happy Birthday!!! Party safely and don't let Grandma get into too much trouble ;O) Hee!
Oh please Virginia, don't play that game with me. I see you.😛
It was a sweet sweet win, great job by Sabathia. Jerry did pretty well too, and Matsui was beastly.
Uh oh is right. This is some serious girl trouble, lol.
-And the suuuuuun will set for youuuuuuuuuu
Have a great time with your aunt and grandmother on your birthday. (I hope they're Yankee fans.) Happy Sweet 16 on Sunday!
I do have to admit, I was afraid the bats wouldn't come alive with so many of our big hitters either hurting or not playing. That, and I felt like we were due for a letdown after the 8-1 homestand against the AL East. So imagine my surprise when we started hitting the ball all over the place.
Other than the offense, what can you say about CC Sabathia that we probably haven't both said already this season? He's a horse. When was the last start of his that lasted less than 7 innings? He's amazing and I thank the heavens every time he pitches that Cashman got this guy.
Happy Birthday, I wish you all the best, that game last night was fun, and Hideki Matsui and CC Sabathia were the MVP's of this game alright!
Matthew Tang
Sleepless in Seattle – great allusion! I wish I thought of it… Hahaha. Great game last night. I love a good blowout! I'm excited to see what the rest of the series brings. And I hope you have a super fun weekend with your fambam! Happy early birthday! 16 is a good year, trust me! =)
I love playing in seattle because we usually beat the Mariners and because there are so many headlines possible! I'm glad the Drama Club could stop being a part of so much drama fro once maybe they have seen the light and won't go back to relying on walk offs! (although i do love walk offs) I'm still hoping pettitte comes through today like he did against Boston. LETS GO YANKEES!!!!
You think YOU'RE giving me girl trouble? Pshhh. Don't flatter yourself, lol. It's a real life thang. And CC was throwing a great slider to left handed hitters last night, it's a pitch that sometimes he'll lose the feel for and hang, but CC was locating it whenever it was necessary. In fact, the last pitch he threw was a nasty slide piece to Ichiro, and he got him to strike out swinging on it. When even Ichiro is struggling to hit your slider, you've got it working.
-Hanley Ramirez
Happy sweet sixteen Virginia,
Hope your weekend is fun with your auntie and granny. It would be nice if the Yankees keep playing awesome baseball for a nice present. Matsui is absolutely wonderful and you are right, CC is doing well.
BTW, I noticed you listed my blog on your site – thanks! I appreciate the ad. 😀
Ok, so now I have to be sad. We couldn't win jack junk out West. YOu guys did it in your first game. Oh maaaaaaan! Thanks for listing my blog here. I'm really flattered and appreciative. It means alot that you think that much of my Rays blog. Thank you again!
Now, how about a few NY losses? 🙂
Those sunflower seeds really got on my good side yesterday they took one for the team when we needed them the most! I hope the Yankees win one for you tonight!!! Happy Birthday : )

Going meatless can be a delicious change of pace when you dine out on tasty vegetarian offerings at these chain restaurants. Text: Maureen Callahan, MS, RD and Karen Ansel, MS, RD
Best Vegetarian Meals
We set out to sample meatless meals at fast food and casual restaurants in order to find establishments that do justice to vegetarian diners by creating at least one or two scrumptious non-meat options. We're not talking about shops that slap a prepackaged name brand veggie burger between a bun, but places that create their own meatless magic.
Our goal: Entrées with at least 10 to15 grams of protein and 1,000 milligrams of sodium or less. (Daily sodium limits set at 2,300 milligrams, so this puts you just a little over a third of a day's allowance.) For calories: 500 to 700, or a third a day's allowance. Saturated fat: less is best, with 17 grams as the maximum daily limit, preferably not all at one meal.

Pike Courthouse addition debate continues
MILFORD, PA — The Pike County Commissioners keep saying the decisions have already been made, but constituents are continuing the argument about demolishing a historic building to site an addition to the county courthouse.
Some 15 to 20 of them filled the tiny commissioners' meeting room on January 15. Engineer Mike Lamoreaux's latest recounting of addition building plans provided the prelude for a 90-minute debate that ended without resolution, only because an 11 a.m. sheriff's tax sale was scheduled in the same room.
As he had at earlier renditions, Lamoreaux noted a cost differential of $1.5 to $2.5 million between the current site and the protestors' recommendation of the Keystone Office Building, which adjoins the courthouse on the other side, across the alley. Those costs are largely related to the relocation of utilities that use the alley, as well as acquisition cost for the Keystone property and additional modifications that would be required to connect the courthouse to the addition.
Pike Solicitor Thomas Farley said, "Utility costs keep going up. In this economy we've got 35 to 40 sheriff sales per month. Lehman Township [once Pike's growth leader] is a ghost town. No one's trying to ram-rod this, but how can you ask people to pay $1.5 million for this?"
In response, Karen Kontizas, speaking on behalf of 400 petition signatories, urged the commissioners to "suspend further pursuit" of engineering and architectural efforts on the current plan and "seek an alternative with broad support and fiscal responsibility."
Kontizas said that given the county's population decrease, she could not understand the need.
"The criminal population isn't decreasing," Commissioners' Chair Rich Caridi fired back.
The county's engineers, McGoey, Hauser & Edsall (MHE) took some heat, both direct and indirect.
The county had not sought bids with different ideas for the work, because bids aren't required for professional work, said Farley.
A former Cornwall, NY resident queried Lamoreaux about MHE involvement in litigation related to the construction manager of a renovation of a Newburgh building for court space.
Lamoreaux responded that the city had hired the construction manager, not MHE.
Commissioner Matt Osterberg noted his history with the Milford Borough Council and repeated defenses of borough's architectural review board and its decisions. That said, he added, "But no one expected that things would never change. Are we really saying that no home will ever be removed? This is a residential area, not a movie backlot. We have homes back there."
When he asked about a study, Fauchere Hotel owner Sean Strub was told that space allocation studies had already been done in the existing courthouse. "If a lot of work has been done, why didn't I get it with my right-to-know request?" Strub asked.
Farley said the study was an MHE "work product," that the county does not own.
"You paid for it and you don't have a copy?" Strub responded incredulously.
Strub said he has several unanswered information requests with the county.
Farley said he would look into what has delayed responses.

Bathroom Window Blinds & Shades
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

'Nikita' Recap: 'Aftermath'
After some serious things went down in last week's Nikita - namely, Michael lost a hand, continuing Shane West's tradition of not being able to get through a TV show with all of his character's body parts - there's a lot to deal with.
It's been three weeks since the last episode, and a still understandably cranky Michael gets a new robo-hand, courtesy of Birkhoff, who makes a Six Million Dollar Man joke that no one gets. Nikita tries to convince Michael to "work through" things, adding that she wants him to come home. Michael brushes this off, and he's entitled to be a little distant, considering that he lost a hand.
Meanwhile, in Mexico, lots of cops are shooting at a pair of drug henchmen, except for their boss Garza, who's out playing golf. The perks of being the boss. Garza tells his underlings that he's going to send help - which draws the attention of Sonya, and by extension, Ryan. Why does Division care what a drug dealer is up to? Garza's "help" is a rogue Division cleaner named Liam (guest star Pedro Pascal).
Ryan is in the middle of sending Nikita and Owen after Liam when Michael finally makes his triumphant return to Division proper. Nikita wants Michael to come along as support, since Alex is "benched" - which is to say she's in the midst of rehab. Birkhoff wants to know what pushed Alex into using drugs again, saying that "just because you cure the symptom, doesn't mean the disease goes away," but she's not forthcoming.
During prep, Nikita confides in Owen, saying that she's worried about Michael, since he internalizes everything. She's afraid he's a ticking time bomb. Cut to Michael ominously handling a firearm.

Diversity and cross-cultural issues in Mali

In fulfilling the Peace Corps' mandate to share the face of America with our host countries, we are making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers. Part of the Peace Corps' mission is to help dispel any notion that Americans are all of one origin or race and to establish that each of us is as thoroughly American as the other despite our many differences.
Our diversity helps us accomplish that goal. In other ways, however, it poses challenges. In Mali, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Mali.
Outside of Mali's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and Caucasian. The people of Mali are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.
To ease the transition and adapt to life in Mali, you may need to make some temporary, yet fundamental compromises in how you present yourself as an American and as an individual. For example, female trainees and Volunteers may not be able to exercise the independence available to them in the United States; political discussions need to be handled with great care; and some of your personal beliefs may best remain undisclosed. You will need to develop techniques and personal strategies for coping with these and other limitations. The Peace Corps staff will lead diversity and sensitivity discussions during pre-service training and will be on call to provide support, but the challenge ultimately will be your own.
- 1 Overview of Diversity in Mali
- 2 What Might a Volunteer Face?
Overview of Diversity in Mali
Trainees from less represented groups should come prepared to cope with being one of a few or possibly the only senior, African American, Native American, Hispanic American, Asian American, gay, or lesbian in their training group because the group of Volunteers in Mali is currently fairly homogenous: relatively young, Caucasian, and middle class. Yet Volunteers from less represented groups serve with the same high levels of effectiveness and satisfaction as other Volunteers.
The Peace Corps staff in Mali recognizes adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of races, ethnic groups, ages, religions, and sexual orientations, and hope that you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who take pride in supporting one another and demonstrating the richness of American culture.
What Might a Volunteer Face?
Possible Issues for Female Volunteers
Mali has a traditional, patriarchal society. Female Volunteers may be surprised by the extent to which community and domestic roles are defined along gender lines and how little control they have over this. Although women are becoming more visible, men generally hold positions of greater authority in the workplace, in the community, and in the home. This strong tradition can present challenges for female Volunteers, especially those in the agriculture and natural resource management projects, where they may be seen as taking on a typically "male" role. In addition, single women generally do not have the status and respect that come with marriage and motherhood. Thus, female Volunteers may find it challenging to have their ideas recognized and respected by both women and men.
Possible Issues for Volunteers of Color
Although Malian society can be conservative, Volunteers generally find Malians to be hospitable and accepting of people with a wide variety of backgrounds. Nevertheless, Malians may have preconceived notions of Americans based on the kind of information available in Mali about Westerners, which comes mainly from television, movies, magazines, and local news reports, which often represent a limited view of American diversity. For example, Asian Americans are often called Chinois (Chinese) regardless of their actual background, and African Americans may not be considered Americans.
Possible Issues for Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers
Given their conservative values, homosexuality is not likely to be tolerated by the general Malian population. It will probably be impossible to be open about your sexual orientation and maintain a positive working relationship with members of your community. Other Volunteers and the Peace Corps staff will provide support, but you will find it very difficult to be open outside of that circle.
See also: Articles about Mali on the National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Peace Corps Alumni Association website at http://www.lgbrpcv.org/articles.htm Peace Corps recruiters can also send you a packet of helpful information.
Possible Issues for Senior Volunteers
The high regard for seniors in Malian society lends support to senior Volunteers' effectiveness at work. They, in turn, are able to find ways to use their extensive experience to assist their communities. However, seniors often comment that they feel a lack of camaraderie with other, mostly much younger, Volunteers. And the three months of pre-service training can be particularly frustrating for seniors because of the rigid schedule, classroom setting, and issues of integration with other trainees in the group. Language learning may present an additional challenge. However, most senior Volunteers find living and working at their sites to be very rewarding.
Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers
Volunteers do not report negative reactions from their Malian colleagues about their religious beliefs. The majority of Malians are generally very tolerant of religions other than Islam. Proselytizing by Volunteers is not permitted, and it is wise to avoid confrontations over religious issues.
Possible Issues for Volunteers With Disabilities
As a disabled Volunteer in Mali, you may find that you face a special set of challenges. There are few services available for people with disabilities and local support is likely to be inadequate to accommodate a physically challenged Volunteer.
As part of the medical clearance process, the Peace Corps Office of Medical Services determined that you were physically and emotionally capable, with or without reasonable accommodations, to perform a full tour of Volunteer service in Mali without unreasonable risk of harm to yourself or interruption of your service. Peace Corps/Mali staff will work with disabled Volunteers to make reasonable accommodations in training, housing, job sites, and other areas to enable them to serve safely and effectively.

Did you know that the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) was officially created when Congress passed the Refugee Act of 1980, after the U.S. government authorized the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of Indo-Chinese refugees to the United States?
More than three decades and three million resettled refugees later, this disparate group of people from more than 80 countries has one common characteristic: all have fled persecution stemming from their race, religion, nationality, social group or political opinion.
Sometimes, this persecution is on several levels—such as political activists fighting for their ethnic, linguistic and religious rights, or journalists who expose government-sanctioned human rights violations and call for equal access for minorities.
Sometimes, they are lawyers who have represented gay clients facing the death penalty for consensual same-sex relationships.
Sometimes, they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered (LGBT) persons themselves, who have been forced to flee their country of origin, leaving behind family, friends, career, possessions, and often, partners—all due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Seventy-eight countries world-wide criminalize same-sex activity, with seven of those countries making it punishable by death. For LGBT refugees—and sometimes, for those who simply support them—flight is the only option available.
Like other refugees, some LGBT refugees meet the persecution standard for resettlement for reasons other than their sexual orientation, and their status plays no role in how their case is ultimately processed. For those who do self-identify as LGBT, however, ORR has established several programs designed to ensure that LGBT refugees receive comprehensive, culturally-sensitive, and LGBT-friendly services and support. ORR has also strived to create an environment that supports tolerance and understanding so that all LGBT refugees feel free and comfortable to finally self-identify. Services may include referrals for specific health-related issues, access to social support groups, or legal advice and civil rights training.
These matters and more are supported by ORR's technical assistance provider Heartland Alliance, through the Rainbow Welcome Initiative. Working in partnership with pilot sites in key cities across the country, the Rainbow Welcome Initiative provides training and capacity building to service providers, and links LGBT refugees with assistance, information, and overall support. ORR also works with its network of national voluntary agencies to support direct services for newly arriving LGBT refugees through its Preferred Communities grant. View Rainbow's LGBT refugees videos.
ORR's mission is to ensure that all arriving refugees have the resources they need to move beyond the persecution they've faced in the past, and succeed beyond measure in their new lives in the United States. Most importantly, it remains committed to the belief that LGBT rights are human rights, and human rights are refugees' rights.
Eskinder Negash is the Director of Office of Refugee Resettlement within the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ORR provides people in need, including refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, victims of human trafficking, unaccompanied alien children, and survivors of torture, with critical resources to assist them in becoming integrated members of American society.

and received 150k for him.
To be honest I thought currier was class at Widnes and we could not do much better than him to replace Newlove. Just really unlucky for us and the player that he received that bad injury.
That is the main reason why I haven't watched us in a friendly match ever since that happened and I'm superstitious so I won't be attending another as we haven't had a bad injury like that since then so I'm keeping away lol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cam24 Good product Good product with excellent quality. I had to order it online because my local store only had the nylon belts with velcro fasteners in stock. The leather belt with a proper buckle is well worth the wait while it shipped. August 21, 2016

Rated 4 out of 5 by Oldmanthatstillliftsmorethanyou It's a belt and it works. Won't help you lift more or get you jacked and tanned but it does what it needs to. May 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hector07 Great weightlifting belt I bought this belt so it could help support my back and waist when lifting and it really is a comfortable and useful belt. It was a great purchase. May 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill50 Lifting Belt Product is great!! Just what I needed for deadlifts and squats. The problem is that it wasn't in stock in the store. So I purchased online. I know Dick's can't ship for free. But, to pay shipping because the store was out of your size is not good customer service. I also found the same product at Academy for less money. Obviously after I purchased the belt. April 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by dreggas Definitely helps maintain form during deadlifts After a couple workouts where I lost form doing deadlifts (and the resulting back strain keeping me out of the gym for a week) I decided to get a belt. Initially I picked up a cheap one, then I found this belt at Dick's and I love it. It helps keep me in form and has more than enough holes to go up or down based on my waist line. February 27, 2016

Lily A list? No. Fergie has had a hit since Lily. But if it is Fergie, she better keep an eye on Josh and that nanny. 😉ReplyCancel
I think Fergie too, mainly cause she has had a big problem w/drugs in the past and wasn't there a blind recently about a Mom going back to her old, bad habits that she hadn't indulged in for a long time? Maybe it started as trying to lose baby weight?ReplyCancel
@Jeneral – I hope not, she's always seemed pretty well grounded to me. True, I haven't seen many pics of her with Milan but I think (hope) it's because she's a bit more private than American celebs.ReplyCancel
No way is she A List but Enty might disagree, so … Ashlee Simpson. Would explain why she's never photographed with little Bronx.ReplyCancel
@Shotinthedark – Yes, and true. I don't recall many pictures of her at all with little Axl … and oddly, there are virtually no pictures of her new home under construction. There were plenty when they were house hunting, and the occasional one of Josh talking to the builders, but no actual pictures of the work which seems odd.ReplyCancel

Johannessen is the new vice mayor
The West Sacramento City Council last night picked Council Member Mark Johannessen to serve as "Mayor Pro Tem" – essentially a vice mayor – for the next year.
Johannessen replaces Mayor pro tem Chris Ledesma, who remains on the council as a regular member.
Johannessen was elected to the city council in 2006. He has not previously served as "mayor pro tem."
Johannessen has announced he is running for California State Assembly next year as a Democrat. He hopes to succeed Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, who plans to run for the seat now held by termed-out State Senator Darrell Steinberg. Term limits prevent Stenberg from running again.
Last year, Johannessen was nominated to serve as West Sacramento's "mayor pro tem" by fellow councilman Bill Kristoff, but the motion died for lack of support, and the council then chose Ledesma.
Last night, reports city spokesman Art Schroeder, Councilman Oscar Villegas nominated then-current Mayor Pro Tem Chris Ledesma for another term.
Ledesma nominated Johannessen.
Villegas voted for Ledesma, while Ledesma, Johannessen and Mayor Christopher Cabaldon voted for Johannessen, giving him the post. Councilman Bill Kristoff was absent.

I remember when .............................
"It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

News and Star will do one for the Superstars down the road and we may get a column somewhere but don't bank on it!!
Have you seen the Rooney (the less famous and talented of the three) interview on the BBC website? Star quality that boy!!!

St. Joe's Erases Six-Goal Deficit to Top Bobcats
from press release
PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's men's lacrosse team came back from an early six-goal deficit to beat Quinnipiac, 8-7, on Tuesday afternoon at Finnesey Field. Augustus Quinzani scored the go-ahead goal with 3:06 left to play.
The Bobcats controlled the first 20 minutes of action by scoring six goals and holding the Hawks scoreless. It was not until 5:06 left in the second quarter when Pat Townsend fed Bobby Hurley, right of the net as he buried the first goal. Hurley would add the second goal for the Hawks just 81 seconds later as Saint Joseph's gathered momentum. SJU used a diving goal by Ryan McGee and a goal from Kyle Williams with just four seconds to play in the first half to make the score 6-4, in favor of Quinnipiac.
Goals by McGee and Quinzani would help Saint Joseph's battle back to tie the game going into the fourth.
After an early Bobcat goal to start the quarter, McGee netted the Hawks seventh goal to tie the game with 4:40 on the clock. With 3:06 to play, McGee came from behind the net to find Quinzani to the left of the goal. Quinzani then fired a shot that found the bottom right of the goal and gave the Hawks the lead, 8-7. Solid defense held the lead as SJU grabbed its third win of the season.
"This was an unbelievable character win for such a resilient group of guys. To go down six and come back like that was an amazing feat," said head coach Taylor Wray. "I tip my hat to the seniors. Griffin Ferrigan, Bobby Hurley andAugustus Quinzani all made some key plays down the stretch to give us a shot. We didn't panic; we kept generating shots and battled back to gut out this win. It's great to get our third victory of the season. We just need to continue to get better and compete everyday."
The Hawks will get 10 days off before they resume play with CAA opponent Penn State at home, March 24. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

Beneath that plain brown shell sits a wealth of amazing nutritional super powers. By: Marge Perry
Healthy Peanuts
What if one drug could help curb your appetite, lower blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar, and decrease your risk for heart disease? You'd take it, right?
The inexpensive, accessible and oh-so-easy-to-eat peanut has been shown to do all that and more.
Whether your goal is weight loss or better overall health, there are some convincing arguments for including peanuts in your diet on a nearly daily basis.
Note: Since peanuts are high in fat, moderation is key here: 1 to 1-½ ounces a day can provide the health benefits outlined here.
Editor's Note: We also recognize that peanut allergies are a very real concern for many, as discussed in Peanut Allergies at School. All recommendations here are for those who can safely consume peanuts.

The conversation came in September 2010. Charles Woodson had just signed a contract extension with the only team that had truly wanted him four years earlier in free agency – the same team he had no interest in joining. So much had changed during that time, though, and now he was hoping that he'd end his career in the NFL's tiniest outpost.
"It's been a long journey. Not only being here, in Green Bay, but just a long career that started in Oakland," the Green Bay Packers cornerback said that Thursday afternoon, roughly five months before he'd help the team to the Super Bowl XLV title. "The mission at this point is to retire here. It's a big deal."
For Woodson, who had three years left on his existing contract at the time, to say such a thing was significant. The story of his transformation had been told and retold frequently – and would be again and again during that week in North Texas in advance of the franchise winning its 13th championship – but remained compelling. He'd gone from being viewed as a malcontent in his final days in Oakland, to a hard-headed, fiercely independent new guy who was slow to buy into coach Mike McCarthy's program upon his arrival, to team leader and elder statesman.
"Back then (in Oakland), I really didn't look this far. I was really just enjoying the moment, enjoying being young, enjoying being in the NFL. I just had a great deal of fun, I really did. I can't say that I looked this far ahead to being in this role, to being at the opposite end of the spectrum and being closer toward the end than the beginning," Woodson would say. "I think I've grown as a person, and I think as a man, that's what you have to do. You have to grow.
"There was a perception I was a bad guy, that I couldn't play anymore, that I had already lost a step. Nobody wanted to touch me. Green Bay, for whatever reason, they did some homework and decided they could use me. They kept calling, I kept ignoring. I had a lot of people telling me why I didn't want to play in Green Bay, but I didn't know why. It took me going there to understand it."
And now, he's leaving, a salary-cap casualty Friday, when the Packers cut him to save roughly $9.4 million in cap room. The team informed the veteran safety of its plans on Friday morning, and the move became official when the club announced the move Friday afternoon.
"We had a good run," Woodson said in a text message Friday afternoon.
"We are grateful for all that Charles has given to the Green Bay Packers over the past seven years," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement. "He has been an integral part of the Packers' success and our Super Bowl title in 2010 would not have been possible without his contributions. A once-in-a-generation talent as a player, he is also a great leader and ambassador for the organization off the field. Charles will always be a member of the Packers family and we look forward to his eventual induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We wish him and his family all the best."
The fourth pick in the 1998 NFL Draft after winning the Heisman Trophy in his final season at the University of Michigan, Woodson spent his first eight seasons in Oakland, where he earned four Pro Bowl berths, intercepted 17 passes, forced 14 fumbles, had 5.5 sacks and scored two defensive touchdowns. In seven seasons in Green Bay, Woodson was also selected to four Pro Bowls, but his other numbers – 38 interceptions, 11.5 sacks and 10 touchdowns – exploded.
Woodson started all 100 games he played for the Packers during his seven seasons in Green Bay, twice earning first-team All-Pro recognition from The Associated Press (2009, 2011) and earning the NFL Defensive Player of the Year from AP in 2009, when he posted a career-high nine interceptions (tied for the NFL lead), along with four forced fumbles, two sacks and 21 pass breakups. He became only the second player in franchise history to win the award, joining Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Reggie White (1998), another transformative free-agent signee.
Woodson holds Packers franchise records for the most defensive touchdowns with 10 (nine interceptions, one fumble return) and the most interception returns for touchdowns with nine. He is tied for No. 2 in league history with 11 career interception returns for touchdowns, trailing only Rod Woodson (12). Woodson's 38 interceptions are tied for No. 4 in franchise history
He is a likely Pro Football Hall of Fame player, although his agent, Carl Poston, made it clear that his client has no plans to retire.
"He sounds like he has a lot of football left," Poston told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who quoted the agent on his Twitter account. "He'd like to go play for a contender, win another Super Bowl. He caught that bug."
Last season, Woodson also caught the injury bug. Having missed only three games in his previous six seasons in Green Bay – and only one due to injury – Woodson missed nine games after suffering a broken collarbone on Oct. 21 at St. Louis. He returned to action for the team's two playoff games, an NFC Wild Card victory over Minnesota and a season-ending NFC Divisional Playoff loss at San Francisco.
Woodson played a total of 629 snaps in the regular season and playoffs. He finished the season with 44 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one interception and five pass break-ups in regular-season play and had 12 tackles and one pass defended in the playoffs.
After the loss to the 49ers, when Woodson was asked about the possibility of not returning, he replied, "I don't know. Those decisions will be made down the road. I don't know how that works out. But I'm going to play football, if that's what you're asking."
By releasing Woodson, the Packers save $9.4 million in salary-cap space for 2013. Set to turn 37 in October, Woodson had two years remaining on the five-year, $55 million extension he signed in September 2010, a deal included $21 million in advances and bonuses. Woodson's 2013 and 2014 base salaries were each $6.5 million, and he was scheduled to receive $2.5 million roster bonuses in the spring of each year as well.
Speaking in December, before returning to action, Woodson was asked if he would play in 2013 and replied, "Oh, absolutely." Asked if he expected it to be in Green Bay, he answered, "Until somebody tells me I'm not, this is where I plan on playing.
"I haven't had that conversation. If that conversation comes around, it comes around. But as far as I know is, anything that I expect is that I'll be a Green Bay Packer. That's all I have to say about that."
That has now changed. The conversation came Friday, when Woodson met with coach Mike McCarthy and Thompson thanked him for his service and bid him farewell. Poston told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that the team never broached the idea of bringing Woodson back at a reduced salary.
Whatever happens, Woodson leaves Green Bay a vastly different person than when he arrived, when McCarthy confessed that Woodson had "a rough start" in 2006.
"It took a while. But once I came around, I came around hard," Woodson said that day he signed his extension. "It was a gradual thing, the more people that I met around here in the community and just throughout Wisconsin, and just playing here with the guys that we have and the organization and the way they take care of their players. Once I realized what I had here in Green Bay, then it was a done deal from there.
"When I signed the deal here, I don't know if I even really thought past three years. Maybe. I don't know. Never to the point where I was going to be signing an extension here in Green Bay. When I first got here, I figured I'd be here maybe a couple years, then I'd be somewhere else.
"But life takes you down some different roads sometimes, roads that you can't explain. And this has turned out to be a great road."

The episode entitled, "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right," premieres on Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 10 p.m. ET.
"It was definitely a fun experience spending the day on the set with the cast of Nashville," said Dillon, who will pilot the No. 3 Dow/Cheerios Chevrolet under the Richard Childress Racing banner this season. "I feel most comfortable in a race car but it's cool to have experiences like this where you can be on the set of a popular television show and meet new people. The director kept telling me to slow down because I was reading my lines too quickly. I guess I do everything fast."
Dillon, along with other members of the cast, will Tweet live during the episode - follow him on Twitter at @austindillon3.
