After a four year cycle in which they battled each other, teammates and the world, Tim Hornsby (Atlanta, Ga.) edged out Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) in the Men's K-1 200m B Final Sunday to clinch the lone men's sprint kayak slot at the 2012 Olympic Games.
Click HERE for complete results from the 2012 ICF Sprint World Cup No. 2 in Duisburg, Germany, May 25-27. Click HERE for a Q&A with 2012 Olympic Team nominee Tim Hornsby.
Hornsby finished 5th with a time of 35.962, +0.334 seconds behind the race's first place finisher. Dolan placed 8th with a time of 36.210, +0.248 seconds behind Hornsby.
The race caps a tense year in which a number of U.S. athletes vied for the single Olympic spot. Dolan earned the spot for Team USA with a Bronze medal performance at the 2011 Pan American Games. Hornsby made it a two-man race by winning the 200m event at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in April. The two kayakers battled to an inconclusive result at last weekend's World Cup No. 1 in Poland, bringing us to Sunday's decisive showdown.
"I'm still not really sure if it's real," Hornsby said. "It's been such a long process, not only with this process, but the process of going to the Olympics has been a dream forever. It's amazing that it's actually happening. I'm tripping out. I can't believe it."

Racing in her final race leading up to her third Olympics, Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.) placed ninth in the Women's 200m A Final. She crossed the line in 43.494, +2.743 seconds back from the Gold medal winner.
In Women's K-2 500m, Maggie Hogan (San Diego, Calif.) and Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) placed 3rd in the B Final with a time of 1:47.906. Robert Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.) finished 4th in the Men's C-1 500m B Final with a time of 2:01.841.
Hornsby on his performance this weekend:
"It came together for me this weekend much better than last weekend [at World Cup No. 1]. I was paddling technically better. Obviously, it's a race of a lifetime to qualify for the Olympics, so in that respect, it's the greatest race of my life. As far as the execution of what I've wanted to do, it's much closer to what I've been training for and trying to do. There's still things I would like to improve on, that process is never ending. I really want to work hard to make those improvements. As far as making the Olympics, it's the best moment of my career."
Shaun Caven, U.S. National Sprint Team Coach: "It was close, both guys did really well. It's just unfortunate somebody had to miss out. Tim did what he needed to do and he gets to go to London, so it's all good. They've been close all year. It was really close all the way down. He's done a really good job. Both guys have been really professional this week."
Joe Jacobi, USA Canoe/Kayak CEO: "Going back to the Oklahoma City Trials, Tim and Ryan contributed something very special to the Sprint program. They both embraced the process, fought extremely hard and emerged as better competitors. Tim dug deep in the last few meters of the Oklahoma City Trials, found a way to win and took that momentum to the World Cups. He is going to be an outstanding Olympian. I know what Tim and Ryan mean to their communities, their clubs and their families. I am proud of their growth, commitment and the opportunity that lies ahead for them and our program."
Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.) returned to her rightful place among the world's elite Saturday when she qualified for A Final in Women's K-1 200m. The three-time Olympian ('04, '08, '12) hopes Sunday's Final will provide a preview of the Olympic event in London.
Johnson reached the A Final after winning her heat and placing 2nd in her semifinal with a time of 40.979, three tenths of a second after the first place finisher in the semifinal. Earlier Saturday, she placed 3rd in the K-1 500m C Final.
In Women's K-2 1000m, Maggie Hogan (San Diego, Calif.) and Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) improved upon their Bronze medal performance at last weekend's World Cup No. 1. The Oklahoma City training partners won the Silver medal Saturday with a time of 3:46.269, 1.664 seconds behind the Gold medal-winning tandem from Austria, who also happen to be the reigning 500m World Champions.
Hogan and McElroy followed that up by reaching Sunday's K-2 500m B Final. They got there by finishing 4th in their heat and 5th in their semifinal.
Shaun Caven, U.S. National Sprint Team Coach: "They are technically proficient. We've been working on technique in the boat and time in together. It just came together good, so the boat runs good. Now we just need to make it a little bit faster in the 500 [meter] and then we're good. They've made the [500m] B Final again, which is a good standard because this is a really tough regatta."
After a four year cycle in which they battled each other, teammates and the world, Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) and Tim Hornsby (Atlanta, Ga.) will find out Sunday who will represent the Team USA in men's sprint kayak in London. Both athletes qualified for the K-1 200m B Final, improving from last weekend's C Final finishes.
Hornsby began the day with a 5th place finish in his heat before finishing 4th in his semifinal with a time of 36.327. Dolan placed 5th in his heat and 5th in his semifinal. Dolan's semifinal time of 36.648 was 0.321 seconds behind Hornsby.
In Men's C-2 1000m, Ian Ross (Washington, D.C.) and Ben Hefner (Gainesville, Ga.) placed ninth in the B Final with a time of 4:01.413. The Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club teammates then raced in the 200m event, placing 8th in their heat and 8th in their semifinal. Robert Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.) finished 4th in his Men's C-1 200m heat and 7th in the semifinal to conclude his weekend of racing.
Ian Ross, Men's Canoe: "The C2 is improving every time we get in the boat. [Coach] Claudiu [Ciur] is helping us out a lot as he always does with all the little things he has to offer. Racing at this high a level of competition is always a great way to improve and see how the best in the world do the sport I love best. I am so happy I was given this opportunity."
Joe Jacobi, USA Canoe/Kayak CEO: "You can see a momentum shift in the team environment right now. [Hogan and McElroy] improved from third to second from a week ago; Carrie is back in the A Finals; and to have two men's kayaks making a B Final, battling for an Olympic spot, is really positive news for the program."
Tim Hornsby, Men's Kayak: "It has been an amazing journey since 2003 when I started seriously training for the Olympics. I am so happy with the entire process leading up to this point and feel like I have done everything I can to prepare for this event. I have no regrets. I am very excited to see what comes next for myself and the rest of the team in London."
After spending most summers traveling from his home in Washington D.C. to Gainesville, Ga. to train, Ian Ross moved to North Georgia for good. The move is already paying off as Ross and his Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club teammate Ben Hefner (Gainesville, Ga.) qualified for Saturday's B Final for Men's C-2 1000m.
Click HERE for complete results from the 2012 ICF Sprint World Cup No. 2 in Duisburg, Germany, May 25-27. Click HERE for live streaming video of the competition beginning Saturday.
Ross and Hefner advanced after placing 7th in their heat and 6th in their semifinal. The duo also competed in C2 500m, placing 6th in their heat and 9th in their semifinal. After the 1000m B Final, they will compete in C2 200m heats Saturday afternoon (German-time).
Robert Finlayson (Gainesville, Ga.) competed in both Men's C1 500m and C1 1000m on Friday. He finished 5th in his 500m semifinal and 9th in his 1000m semifinal. He will compete in Saturday's C1 200m event.
"It was great to see our men's canoe's competing today, just coming out of an intensive training camp in Germany," said William Irving, USA Canoe/Kayak National Teams Director. "I expect for these young men to only get better as they learn what it takes to be the best in the World."
Carrie Johnson (San Diego, Calif.) placed 2nd in her Women's K1 500m heat and 5th in the semifinal to advance to Saturday's C Final. Later that day, she will compete in the Women's K1 200m event.
The Women's K2 1000m event was a straight final, where Maggie Hogan (San Diego, Calif.) and Kaitlyn McElroy (Oklahoma City, Okla.) will hope to improve upon their Bronze medal from last weekend's World Cup No. 1.
It's take two for Ryan Dolan (Kailua, Hawaii) and Tim Hornsby (Atlanta, Ga.). Neither athlete was able to qualify for the A or B Finals, which was the minimum threshold for Olympic qualification at World Cup No. 1. For World Cup No. 2, Dolan or Hornsby will be able to clinch the Olympic spot with a C Final finish, provided both athletes make it at least that far. The two athletes take to the water on Saturday afternoon.
William Irving: "Tomorrow will be the heats for the much anticipated men's 200m races and the two athletes are anxious to put together a great race and qualify themselves for an A or B Final and be named to the Olympic team. Both athletes have really been working hard and we have all the confidence that they will give a great effort and represent us well this weekend with one being nominated to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team."
WHAT: 2012 ICF Sprint World Cup No. 2
WHERE: Duisburg, Germany
WHEN: Friday-Sunday, May 25-27
Click HERE for a video recap of last weekend's World Cup No. 1.
WHY: Ryan Dolan and Tim Hornsby will compete against each other and the world for the chance to be named as the lone men's sprint kayaker on the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team.
HOW: Whichever athlete has the best results in the A or B Final will qualify for the Olympic spot. If one athlete makes the A Final and the other the B Final, the Olympic spot will go to the athlete who qualified for the A Final, regardless of who has a better time in their respective A or B finals. A race-off will occur between the two athletes only if neither athlete makes the A of B Final but are both qualified for the C Final. The winner of the head-to-head race-off will win the Olympic Slot.

Ben Hefner (Gainesville, Ga.) Men's C-2 200m, C-2 500m, C-2 1000m
Hogan and McElroy will look to add to their 2012 medal tally after winning the bronze medal in K-2 1000m at last weekend's World Cup No. 1 in Poznan, Poland. For Carrie Johnson, World Cup No. 2 will mark her final competition before London 2012, which will be her third Olympic Games.
Finlayson, Ross, and Hefner, all members of the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club, join Team USA for their first international racing of the season. At the 2012 U.S National Team Trials, Finlayson won the 200m race, while Ross finished first in the 1000m.
William Irving, USA Canoe/Kayak National Teams Director (after World Cup No. 1): "Maggie and Kaitlyn are progressing in their paddling and, with a little more racing experience and time in the boat together, will be a very strong K2 to contend with. Coming away with the U.S. best results, Maggie and Kaitlyn will look to better this performance in Duisburg."
Claudiu Ciur, U.S. Sprint Canoe Coach: "Ian Ross and Ben Hefner are looking strong and are progressing every day. I expect them to do their best this weekend and finish in the top 15. The races will be very hard but I feel that they are ready for it."

Do you pair it with a bottle of water or cup of soda?
The first time we went to York, Pa. inter-state fair http://www.yorkfair.org/
Norma, did you sell Lehman slices or Neapolitan pies?
That was years ago that my husband and I went to fairs and festivals.
Norma, with your fair concession experience, I think you're in a unique position to offer invaluable information here. Neapolitan Slices or 9" pies? What would you charge for a pie? York feels very amusement park-y/Six Flaggy, and I know from my own experience, amusement park food is basically double the price. I think it's more than movie theaters, which, in itself, is pretty ridiculous. York, in your experience, most likely had a considerably higher markup than a town store/strip mall, right? Lorain has less of an amusement park feel, but I still think it's going to be marked up.

via Eagle Lawsuit Plaintiffs May Appeal to Michigan Supreme Court – Farmington-Farmington Hills, MI Patch.
After the recent denial of their appeal to an appellate court ruling, the plaintiffs in a lawsuit over the sale of a Farmington Public Schools building to the Islamic Cultural Association (ICA) may take their case to the state's highest court.
In an email to Farmington-Farmington Hills Patch, attorney Robert Davis said plaintiffs are looking at asking the Michigan Supreme Court to hear the case. "At the same time," he wrote, "we are continuing to oppose local zoning approvals."
Davis represents Eugene Greenstein of Farmington Hills and Melvin Sternfeld of West Bloomfield, who last year sued Farmington Public Schools over the sale. The former Eagle Elementary School building on 14 Mile Road west of Middlebelt Road was sold in November to the ICA, which is based in Franklin, for $1.1 million. That money waits in escrow pending the final outcome of the lawsuit.
At the ICA's request, the West Bloomfield Township planning commission has tabled review of plans for the construction of a mosque and community center on the site.
In September, the Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court's ruling that dismissed the lawsuit. Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Rae Lee Chabot initially declined to hear the case on its merits, after determining that plantiffs Greenstein and Sternfeld did not demonstrate that they would be harmed by the sale of the closed building.

AMC Premieres First Episode of 'Halt and Catch Fire' Online
AMC today rolled out the first episode of its new drama "Halt and Catch Fire" in a two-week-long sneak preview on AMC.com, Tumblr, through video on demand and on TV Everywhere services from certain video providers.
The show, with a title based on an old computer command, is set in the early 1980s, when personal computing was in its infancy. Companies like IBM, Apple, Texas Instruments, Tandy and Commodore were battling for footholds in the new, dicey and seemingly uncertain world of consumer technology.
The first episode gives viewers the sense that "Halt and catch Fire" will give the 1980s the type of iconic-age treatment that another AMC show, "Mad Men" gave to the 1960s. All of the props seem to be there, from the home décor, cars and clothing to the music, video games, haircuts and generation gaps.
AMC said the preview, which runs through May 31, is the first television series premiere on Tumblr, and the first time the network has partnered with social media to premiere a new show.
The series premieres on AMC June 1 at 10 p.m. ET.

Since my November post was all about what was going to be hot for the holiday season, I thought it only fitting that the last post of 2010 for me would be looking forward to 2011. Here's a short list of my guesses for the technology world in 2011, particularly the eBook and eReader realm. In no particular order:
1. 2011 is the year that eReaders enter the realm of commodity. I've been saying for the last couple of years that they were on the way, but I think that this is the year we'll see the traditional eInk eReader like the Kindle drop to the $50 range. Read More »
I grew up without tourists. Not for lack of trying on the part of certain groups in my hometown. There was a flurry of activity trying to establish eastern Connecticut as a hotbed of rural, agriculturally-based tourism. If only these well-intentioned folks had anticipated the local food movement. Maybe we could have put together a Community Supported Agriculture program in town. I would have gotten on board if the end result involved good tomatoes. Although I have lived a mostly touristless life, I know plenty of people who grew up or currently live in places overrun by visitors, where complaining about tourists is a local hobby. Read More »

Today I'm catching up with some recent reports from Pew Internet and American Life. One of the most recent focuses on "geosocial" applications and it offered some not surprising statistics on who is using services like FourSquare or Gowalla. The report finds "that 4% of online adults use a service such as Foursquare or Gowalla that allows them to share their location with friends and to find others who are nearby. On any given day, 1% of internet users are using these services."

"Enough should be the central concept in economics," writes Herman Daly, a Global Footprint Network advisor and one of the founders of ecological economics, in the forward to the fascinating new book, "Enough is Enough: Building a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources."
The book challenges the dominant thesis of contemporary economics: Growth at any cost. Authors Rob Dietz and Dan O'Neill start from the observation that the world economy, as it is currently run, is causing long-term environmental, societal and economic damage. They go on to map out alternative paths toward a steady-state economy (an economy with stable or mildly fluctuating size), one that prioritizes human well-being above growth and places economic activity squarely within ecological limits.
The authors argue compellingly that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a rather poor indicator of progress, ignoring significant aspects of human flourishing as well as externalizing costs such as air pollution or soil degradation. Several alternatives indicators to GDP are taking off. Among those mentioned in the book are the European Commission's Beyond GDP initiative, the OECD's Better Life Initiative, the Ecological Footprint, the Genuine Progress Indicator, the U.K.'s Sustainable Development Indicators, the Happy Planet Index, and the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress launched by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Indeed, the Ecological Footprint is one tool for helping nations move beyond the narrow GDP-focus that is helping to exacerbate the trends of ecological overshoot over the past few decades. As the authors say, "'We manage what we measure' is a cliché often uttered in business boardrooms, but it rings true. You could also say that we 'mismanage what we mismeasure.'" Insofar as we are not measuring our demand on and capacity to provide ecological resources, we are mismanaging not only our economies, but our future.
Dietz is editor of Daly News and was the first director of CASSE (Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy); O'Neill is lecturer in ecological economics at the University of Leeds and the chief economist at CASSE.

April 6, 1992
Release # 92-072
PRODUCT: Tara Toy Corporation's Sesame Street Push Power action figures, item # 75110. They are Big Bird driving a red fire engine, Ernie riding on an airplane, and Cookie Monster sitting on a scooter carrying chocolate chip cookies on his back. PROBLEM: Toys may break, releasing small pieces of plastic and screws, and exposing sharp points and edges. This may pose a potential choking, laceration or puncture wound hazard to young children. Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these products. WHAT TO DO: Consumers are urged to take the toys away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions may call Tara Toy Corporation at (516) 273-8810. WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Tara Toy Corporation of Hauppauge, NY is voluntarily recalling approximately 44,000 Sesame Street Push Power action figures, Item #75110. There are three different models of these colorful plastic toys. They are: Big Bird driving a red fire engine, Ernie riding on an airplane, and Cookie Monster sitting on a scooter with a clear plastic carrier on the back that contains chocolate chip cookies. None of the characters can be removed from their vehicles. All three models have the same item number, 75110. Embossed on the under-carriage of each vehicle is the following: "CTW JHP, INC. TARA TOY CORP. MADE IN CHINA." Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these products. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. After CPSC testing, the vehicles broke, releasing small pieces of plastic and screws, exposing sharp points and edges. The wheels also separated. This violates the small parts requirements under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. These hazards may pose potential choking, laceration and puncture injuries to young children. These toy vehicles were sold nationwide from June 1991 to January 1992. Each toy sold for approximately $3.99 each. The firm reports that some of the distributors of these toys include, Boscov's, Long Island Consortium, Marbal Drug Corp., Ocean State Jobbers, Rose's Store, Shepher Distributing, Super Dollar Discount, Thrift Drug, Toys 'R Us, F.W. Woolworth, Pike Distributors, and Marc Glassman, Inc. The potentially hazardous toys were identified during a joint surveillance program conducted by CPSC and the U.S. Customs Service at the Ports of Cleveland, Ohio and Newark, New Jersey. Consumers are urged to take the Sesame Street Push Power action figures away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions about this recall may contact the Tara Toy Corporation at (516) 273-8810. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of

mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

99 Problems and You Can Fix One
Most recently the SGA conducted a campaign called "99 Problems and You Can Fix One". This campaign was a three week long campaign which sought student's ideas, issues, concerns, ideas, and proposals regarding UIS. Through an online form students, faculty, and staff were able to submit any of these subjects to the SGA for review. The SGA received a total of 60 responses as a result of the campaign. The overall goal of this campaign was to trying to raise awareness of the SGA as well as address some of the subjects brought up by the UIS community.
As a result of this campaign, the SGA has already begun looking in to many of the responses. Issues such as parking and campus safety have already begun to be addressed with many more subjects to come. The SGA hopes that the UIS community will still be able submit feedback to us so that we may better help UIS become a better place. The form will be live all year (link below) and as always the SGA hopes that any member of the UIS community will approach members of the SGA with any matter they may have to discuss.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Hoot The new Bubba tennis racquet from Gamma This is my second bubba racquet from Gamma and I need a 29 inch handle, which they now make. I am 73 and play hard and competative tennis. I appreciated that you matched the price of another and lower business. The racquet stringing was not as tight as it should have been because the stringer angled the strings and they were farther apart allowing some extra play in the strings. the price was affordable and will defintely have your store string other racquets for me.

This week, I'm suggesting some winter book ideas that integrate the standards, art, music, teamwork, and a lot of imagination! Hopefully these ideas will get your class feeling warm and cozy for the winter months ahead.
Snowy Weather Days by Katie Marsico is a marvelous book when beginning to teach your students about winter. This book is effective because it uses real pictures of children experiencing the joys of winter. After reading the book, have students create a winter collage. Students cut out pictures from magazines that reflect winter. Glue the pictures on a piece of white construction paper that spells out the word Winter. Also take pictures of your students enjoying winter and make your own Snowy Weather Days classroom book.
Another terrific book to read with your students this time of year is Winter by Melvin and Gilda Berger. It is included in the Scholastic Time-to-Discover Reader collection. The book displays realistic pictures of what a snowy winter looks like. An activity to integrate with this book is to make a word web that includes a copy of one of Ansel Adams' winter photographs. Ask the students how the picture of winter makes them feel. Write responses around the Ansel Adams picture. Using the Scholastic Printables "Winter Mobile," the students can also create their own "Winter Makes Me Feel" mobile. The students write one or more adjectives on each snowflake. As an added touch, I play "Winter" from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons while they are making their mobiles.
There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow! by Lucille Colandro is a hysterical addition to her There Was an Old Lady Who . . . series. This time, the "cold" lady is swallowing everything from snow and coal to a pipe and a scarf. Once again, Colandro's creative rhyming text and the humorous illustrations don't disappoint. When you get to the page, "She hiccuped twice and out popped . . . ," ask the students to predict what they think is going to happen to end the story. Have the students write down their prediction and illustrate it. Let students share their predictions, and then finish reading the story!
The next two books I'd like to share with you go hand in hand. The Biggest Snowman Ever by Steven Kroll has laughter, heart, and teamwork all rolled into one story. The story is about two mice, Clayton and Desmond, who are in a contest to see who can build the biggest snowman. The two mice realize that they can only build their snowman so high without help. This story gives your students a real experience of the importance of working as a team to achieve a common goal.
The Biggest, Best Snowman by Margery Cuyler is about a girl named Little Nell, who wants to help her family prepare for a party. Her mom and sisters tell her she is too small to be of any assistance. Feeling dejected, the girl goes on a walk through the woods and meets up with her forest friends. Little Nell's forest friends give her the support and encouragement she needs to build her own spectacular snowman. Little Nell's magnificent creation shows everyone that a person's size doesn't have anything to do with their capability: that depends on their determination and heart.
As an extension activity for these two books, create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the characters, settings, plots, illustrations, themes, and even the morals of the stories.
Another "must do" activity is having your students build their own snowmen. Provide materials such as paints, cotton balls, tissue paper, crayons, markers, glue, paper, and whatever else you can find around your classroom. When finished, use this project as a writing prompt to engage your students in writing their own story about their BIGGEST or BEST snowman. Have the students write: "I had made a big snowman. I made it out of ______. This is the story about how it came to life one day."
I had to save my favorite book for last. The Snowman by Raymond Briggs is an incredibly illustrated and powerful wordless picture book that will leave you and your students breathless. The story is about a boy who builds a snowman that comes to life. The boy lovingly teaches the snowman how to do everyday things such as eating, cleaning up, and getting dressed. The snowman returns the favor by taking the boy on an incredible adventure, flying over rolling hills and beautiful buildings to eventually land on a pier to catch the morning sunrise.
One of my favorite activities to do with wordless picture books is to have the students give a voice to the book. Record each student describing the illustrations using an iPod, iPad, or a tape recorder. When finished, put out the recording with copies of the book for the students to listen to. Another activity to do with wordless picture books is to type the text that the students dictated. Print a copy for each student. The students then cut out each sentence and sequence the story in the correct order.
Share with us your winter ideas or even your adaptations of these ideas. We would love to try them in our own classes!

- LustyGuy cohosts
- Psychology Today reporting on a University of Michigan study that showed that people perceive nonmonogamists to have more negative traits, including paying taxes late and flossing, as well as being more sexually risky.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Ford Very Happy with our purchase We read lots of on-line reviews prior to choosing this ping pong table. We have been happy with it. It was VERY heavy and VERY large. It barely fit in the back of our full-size truck with tonneau cover open. We had to take it down to the basement one piece at a time even each half of the table was extremely heavy. It look hours to assemble and my husband is quite handy. Once assembled it has been great fun for our family and friends. That weight and size that was a problem during purchase and assembly means that it is durable and hopefully long-lasting. August 26, 2014

A citizens group trying to change Columbus politics has turned in petitions seeking a ballot initiative to stop the city from paying on its purchase contract for Nationwide Arena.
The Columbus Coalition for Responsive Government submitted 17,200 signatures to the Columbus city clerk's office yesterday to amend the purchase ordinance and stop payments to buy the arena by 2016.
The group needs fewer than 5,000 of those signatures to be validated by the Franklin County Board of Elections to get the issue on the ballot.
City officials wouldn't comment on the coalition's proposal. In general, City Attorney Richard C. Pfeiffer Jr. said that contracts cannot be undone at the ballot box.
In 2011, the city and Franklin County agreed to spend an estimated $250 million in casino tax revenue to purchase, operate and maintain the arena through 2039.
Owners of the Columbus Blue Jackets supported the public purchase because the team was losing money, in part because its lease did not provide the team with revenue that other teams get from their home arenas.
The public purchase saved the Blue Jackets about $9.5 million a year and allows the team to keep all concession and parking revenue from hockey-related events. The team also agreed to remain in Columbus through 2039.
City and county officials said keeping the team solvent is important because of the revenue generated in and around the Arena District.
(Wolfe Enterprises Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dispatch Printing Company, is a minority owner of the team. Capital Square Ltd., the commercial real-estate arm of Dispatch Printing, is a minority investor in the Arena District development.)
Opponents called the purchase a bailout and said the public should have been given a vote on it.
"This is not about the Blue Jackets — we say, 'Go Jackets,'" said coalition president Jonathan Beard in a news release. "This is about what we believe to have been an abuse of the public's trust in Columbus City Council."
If enough signatures are validated, the proposal will then be heard by the city council. The council cannot stop it from being put on the May ballot.
Beard's group turned in enough signatures last month to ask voters to approve public financing for city council and mayoral candidates who agree to limit campaign spending.
That ordinance would provide a share of $300,000 in casino-tax revenue to city-council candidates who voluntarily spend no more than $85,000 on their campaigns and mayoral candidates who agree to spend no more than $350,000. That issue could also be on the May ballot.
Last year, the coalition didn't make the ballot with an initiative to elect seven council members from wards and four at large. The elections board determined that the group collected fewer than half the signatures required and that paid collectors appeared to have turned in fraudulent signatures.

Answer by Egirl Team
Dear Uma, I cant really tell you exactly what you should say for this question, but I can give you an idea. My own impression is that the question is not intended to make you doubt yourself but to get an idea about your own motivation and desires. Why did you choose to study mechanical engineering? Was it because you really liked the subject matter? Were you always interested in pulling things apart and putting them back together, or did your parents push you into it? If they did push you into it, are you glad now that you chose the field? Some people will tell you that mechanical engineering is not a good career for a girl. Did you consider this, and if so what made you decide to go for it anyway? If you didnt consider it, do you just have a really supportive family that encouraged you to follow your dreams wherever they might lead? Have you found it to be difficult? Do you believe being a woman is a barrier? I believe the interviewers would be most impressed if you could answer this question honestly and with confidence. If you think you made a bad career choice, your lack of confidence will show in your answer. If you believe you can do the job as well as any man, that will show in your answer as well so dont let yourself be intimidated. Good luck!

Running Thaptsa Peak in Bhutan's backcountry
The author running through Phajoding Goenpa.
The snarling yak-herding dog tore over the mossy ravine and skidded to a halt on the opposite bank. Black mud oozed through its Yeti-sized front paws as I backed into dripping wet ferns lining a sparsely trodden footpath. My colleague Sangay's advice flashed through my mind: "No. No trail there. You run road." Next time, I'll listen. A litter-strewn trickle of a creek was all that now separated me from a drooling mutant mastiff, bred for the sole purpose of defending yak herds from bears, thieves and, perhaps, trail runners.
My next attempt to run Thaptsa Peak would hopefully be—as the Bhutanese say—more "auspicious."
I had just arrived in Bhutan and begun teaching physiotherapy students in Thimphu, the compact capital of 100,000 people. Set in a narrow valley drained by the glacial runoff of the Wang Chuu, the city has a bustling, cozy feel. As a physical therapist with Health Volunteers Overseas, I would be living and working at the National Hospital for five months.
While I have been working abroad, running has always offered me a more intimate view of a place and its culture. As I held class at the new hospital building in Thimphu, my attention was constantly drawn out the window up to the high ranges encircling the city.
There must be trails here, I thought. A land where the king rides a mountain bike and the tallest peaks remain unclimbed, Bhutan is defined by the thick, impenetrable mountains that have isolated and protected this kingdom for centuries. The contour lines of Buddhist Himalaya pulled me in with promises of exotic singletrack. I sensed a karmic sense of responsibility to trail runners everywhere.
Funny thing, the Bhutanese aren't big on adventuring. Most have to walk hours to the nearest road and those wandering the wilds do so with purpose—to hang prayer flags or herd yaks. Avoiding jaguars also takes top priority. As a non-Buddhist lacking yaks, I found reliable trail beta tough to come by. Undeterred, I spent several weekends doing short recon runs, and even befriended a monk familiar with the high country.

"The Farm and B & B is a treat. The decor is quaint and yet metropolitan. The owners are friendly, welcoming and magnificent cooks. The land is luscious and the vegetables are organic. What a sweet time we had there. Michael and Laura were fun and interesting people who were freely sharing their own journeys with us. My friend and I were tended to with a beautiful sunset, a fire in the evening, and fresh eggs in the morning! It was the perfect place for the respite we were looking for. We will return to this gem of a place over and over again. I cannot say enough about this establishment. You won't be disappointed." Guest, Poughkeepsie, NY

Paraguay will be in the spotlight as it celebrates 200 years of independence with ceremonies and celebrations May 14-15.
Paraguay has much to be proud of. This sparsely populated country the size of California has seven million people and a gross domestic product (GDP) of $17 billion. Last year, the country caught the attention of business leaders and economists around the world with its spectacular GDP growth of 15.3 percent, the third highest worldwide, largely due to the commodities boom. A traditional friend and ally of the United States, which has a 64 percent favorability rating among the Paraguayan public, Paraguay even has a state named after U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes.
Paraguayans boast that 85 percent of the population speaks both Spanish and Guarani, an indigenous language. The country is known for its rich red soil, spectacular Jesuit ruins, and the national instrument, the harp. Land-locked Paraguay is also the largest exporter of electricity on the globe thanks to the Itaipu hydroelectric enterprise, the second largest in the world.
Representing the United States at Paraguayan bicentennial celebrations will be Peace Corps Director Aaron Williams, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Arturo Valenzuela, and U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay Liliana Ayalde. The U.S. Embassy in Asuncion will contribute a rich array of cultural programming to the bicentennial celebrations, including a blues trio and Grammy-award winning classical guitar player Sharon Isbin, who shared the stage with famed Paraguayan guitarist Berta Rojas. The Embassy will participate in the official parade and at the bicentennial hall of nations, where we will highlight the historic ties between our two countries and important American contributions in education, the arts, health, environment, and commerce. The country is buzzing with anticipation and I can't imagine a more exciting time to be here.

Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood. Sleep apnea occurs in all age groups and both genders. It is more common in men, although it may be under-diagnosed in women and young African-Americans. It is estimated that as many as 18 million Americans have sleep apnea.
Early recognition and treatment of sleep apnea is important, as it may be associated with:
· irregular heartbeat
· high blood pressure
· heart attack
· stroke

Speaker: Dr. Thomas E. Levy, Distinguished Professor and Norma Kershaw Chair, Archaeology of Ancient Israel and Neighboring Lands, UC San Diego This lecture presents an overview of various social and economic revolutions that took place more than 6,000 years ago in Israel and the neighboring lands. The most significant development was the introduction of metallurgy. Chalcolithic metal workers made elaborate prestige objects such as crowns, scepters, and mace heads. This presentation explores the social role of the "metallurgy revolution" and its effects on social change during this formative period in the southern Levant. The speaker led the first Israeli-Jordanian-American-German international archaeology expedition to locate the Copper Age trade route used by the earliest metal workers in the Holy Land. This is the 2013 Helen Diller Family Annual Lecture Series: Archaeological Discoveries in Israel.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 6, 2012) - USA Volleyball has selected the city of Houston to host the 35th USA Volleyball Boys' Junior National Championships (BJNC) in 2014. The tournament, hosted by the Lone Star Region and Greater Houston Convention and Visitor's Bureau, will take place at the George R. Brown Convention Center from June 28 to July 5.
"USA Volleyball looks forward to returning to Houston to conduct a National Championship – in this case the Boys' Junior National Championships in 2014," USA Volleyball Senior Director Tom Pingel said. "The State of Texas, and more specifically, the City of Houston, has been a very active host of high-level volleyball events and we know that this will continue when the BJNC comes to town in the summer of 2014."
"I am proud to have the USA Volleyball Boys' Junior National Championships coming to Houston," Lone Star Region Commissioner Will Vick said. "I encourage everyone to come and enjoy what the city of Houston has to offer. The Greater Houston Convention and Visitor's Bureau has done wonders to build up the downtown area and the George R. Brown Center. There are a lot of activities in the area for both kids and parents to enjoy when not playing. In addition, I appreciate the city of Houston for supporting boys' volleyball programming in a state that does not have boys' volleyball at the prep level. This event can go a long way in growing boys' volleyball in the region."
The BJNC attracts 400-plus teams and 4,500-plus athletes. The event will have Open Division titles in each age group from 14 to 18, while offering club titles for each age from 12 to 18. The 12 Club and 13 Club divisions will be three-day championships, while all other divisions will be four-day events. Not only is this a tournament to portray talent from all over the country, it is also a chance for college recruiters to find potential players for their programs.
Houston, the biggest city in Texas in a state known for being big, exhibits a diverse culture, culinary, shopping entertainment and luxury. Among the attractions include the Space Center Houston, home to NASA's Mission Control, and the largest Fine Arts Museum in the Southwest. During the summer months, the Houston Astros take center stage at Minute Maid Park.
The 2013 BJNC will be held at Reno, Nev.

Settlers misled by inaccurate platting of land
NEW ULM – Two U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 history buffs discussed and debated Milford Township history, property surveying and boundary lines of pioneers day that sometimes led them to more questions than answers, before a roomful of listeners Thursday at the New Ulm Public Library.
Rich Runck, a descendant of a founder of New Ulm, and John LaBatte,whose ancestors fought on both sides of the war, provided their opinions and some seldom-told details of events that led to the conflict and afterward.
Perhaps Runck of Milford Township, said it best.
"I'm dumbfounded by the (1850s) maps," Runck said. "This is a swamp. The more we get into it, the deeper it gets."
LaBatte said when settlers arrived in south central Minnesota in the mid 1850s, they checked with government land offices, often in Winona or Red Wing, bought land, and began clearing it.
"There were land surveying issues in Milford Township and the Lower Sioux Reservation boundary. Many officials got involved. Even U.S.-Dakota treaties disagreed on some details," LaBatte said. "Issues included the inability to find a competent surveyor. Another surveyor said the (compass) needle varied at different times of the day."
Confusion over surveying and reservation boundary issues were likely among many factors that led to war.
A story in a July 1859 edition of the New Ulm Pioneer (newspaper) said the U.S. government sold land on the reservation to settlers by mistake. Some surveying errors extended from the Minnesota River south all the way to Madelia, LaBatte said.
"Settlers were misled by land offices who had poor (land) surveying and incomplete plotting," LaBatte said. "I don't blame the U.S. government or settlers. We have to look further into it before placing blame."
According to 1863 newspaper accounts, issues of the day included Indians hunting on non-reservation land, near settlers, north of the Minnesota River and whites illegally selling whiskey to Indians, an issue that the military and law enforcement tried to suppress.
LaBatte said he found research sources often contradicted each other. He said there are many unopened files at the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) and National Archives in Washington, D.C.
"There is enough information in the National Archives for someone to study for years," Runck said. "Somebody could use it to earn a doctoral degree."
LaBatte said one of his favorite websites is "Family and Friends of Dakota Uprising Victims" on Facebook (www.dakotavictims1862.com).
The website states it was created to publish stories written by descendants of settler victims. It has a slideshow of monuments, family stories and photographs, essays, maps, links, book lists and more..
The website stated that news articles and letters to the editor focus almost entirely on the Dakotas' impact on the war, perhaps for political correctness, ignoring the impact of settlers and others who were innocent victims.
In a letter dated Jan. 27, 2013 to MHS Director Steve Elliot, LaBatte said the MHS Mobile Tour and U.S.-Dakota War website are unbalanced, about 75 percent of them focusing on the Dakota Indians.
"This history should be accurate, balanced and respectful to all groups who are involved. At present this is not the case," LaBatte wrote.
