Allouez firefighters take CC tournament
HANCOCK – Copper Country firefighters hauled buckets, changed hoses and raced with ladders to claim the top prize Saturday in the Copper Country Firefighters Tournament.
Allouez Township claimed the top spot in the tournament, hosted this year by Hancock.
Sixteen teams competed in four events: ladder race, hose roll, interchange and the "mystery event" – Bucket Brigade, which harkened back to the Hancock Fire Department's 1860s roots.
Although they were keeping score, the atmosphere at the event was nothing but amiable, with other teams milling around and good-naturedly teasing the competitors.
"It's a great time," said Laari Wirtanen of the Hubbell Fire Department. "Everybody getting together. It's fun to see the brothers."
The interchange event, in which teams had to knock down orange cones amidst replacing a section of hose, was one of the wetter ones, with several errant hoses splashing people watching from the sides of the street.
The only ones getting soaked in the bucket brigade were the firefighters. Team members filled buckets from a tank, tossing their water down the line to the buckets of other team members. The final person deposited whatever made it down the line into a pail.
"This is going to be a fun one," Wirtanen said upon hearing the description.
Jay Hebert started coming to the tournament nine years ago with the Pelkie Fire Department.
Now in his second year at Baraga, he was competing Saturday for the first time. After four events, he'd enjoyed them all.
"It's a brotherhood, and it's fun to compete against them," he said.
The night concluded with a parade down Quincy Street, in which departments marched and also tried to outdo each other for the most creative floats.

In 1993 Marcello Fabbri became head chef of Anna Amalia at Hotel Elephant in Weimar and has since taken the gourmet restaurant right to the top.
Marcello Fabbri has cooking in his blood. He started learning at the age of 13 and voraciously soaked up every aspect of the atmosphere in his aunt's hotel kitchen in Rimini, something he still enjoys today. At Anna Amalia gourmet restaurant, Fabbri demonstrates the impressive art of European gastronomy with Italian origins. Like a contemporary version of Gualtiero Marchesi, who catapulted Italian cuisine to new levels in the 1980s, Fabbri presents the finest German, Italian and French cuisine in his own particular style: eschewing overly complicated methods (referencing the essential simplicity of Italian cooking), he offers creative interpretations of high-quality ingredients, deftly integrating mediterranean accents in new and surprising ways.
For his game fish consommé with passatelli and scallops , for instance, Fabbri makes the passatelli in traditional Emilia-Romagna fashion using breadcrumbs, parmesan and egg, passing the mixture through a kind of grater. The passatelli provide a wonderful grounding for the consommé, adding piquancy and a delectable mouth-feel. Another authentic Italian dish is Fabbri's agnolotti, which he stuffs in the Piedmont manner with lamb saddle, beef shoulder and veal shank, and serves in a brasato braising sauce – pure heaven! Slightly more nuanced is his Breton turbot with pancetta crumbs on truffled Brussels sprout leaves, with the game fish gaining piquancy and structure from the pancetta, and the Brussels sprouts alluding to the Trentino region. A successful marriage of exquisite French ingredients and Italian flavours.

Dell on Tuesday announced it has signed a definitive merger agreement under which Michael Dell, Dell's founder, chairman and chief executive officer, in partnership with global technology investment firm Silver Lake, will acquire Dell. The buyout, which is valued by Mr. Dell himself, Silver Lake LLC, Microsoft Corp. and a group of banks, outshines previous record transaction, the acquisition of Compaq by Hewlett-Packard a decade ago.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dell stockholders will receive $13.65 in cash for each share of Dell common stock they hold, in a transaction valued at approximately $24.4 billion. The price represents a premium of 25% over Dell's closing share price of $10.88 on January 11, 2013, the last trading day before rumors of a possible going-private transaction were first published; a premium of approximately 35% over Dell's enterprise value as of Jan. 11, 2013; and a premium of approximately 37% over the average closing share price during the previous 90 calendar days ending Jan. 11, 2013. The buyers will acquire for cash all of the outstanding shares of Dell not held by Mr. Dell and certain other members of management.
The transaction will be financed through a combination of cash and equity contributed by Mr. Dell, cash funded by investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake, a cash investment by an investment fund affiliated with MSDC Management, a $2 billion loan from Microsoft, rollover of existing debt, as well as debt financing that has been committed by BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Credit Suisse and RBC Capital Markets (in alphabetical order), and Dell's cash on hand. There is no financing condition.
The merger agreement provides for a so-called "go-shop" period, during which the special committee – with the assistance of Evercore Partners – will actively solicit, receive, evaluate and potentially enter into negotiations with parties that offer alternative proposals. The initial go-shop period is 45 days.
Michael Dell first approached Dell's doard of directors in August 2012 with an interest in taking the company private. Dell then formed a special committee and hired a leading management consulting firm to conduct an independent analysis, including a review of strategic alternatives for Dell and opportunities for the company as a public entity.
"I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Dell, our customers and team members. We can deliver immediate value to stockholders, while we continue the execution of our long-term strategy and focus on delivering best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private enterprise. Dell has made solid progress executing this strategy over the past four years, but we recognize that it will still take more time, investment and patience, and I believe our efforts will be better supported by partnering with Silver Lake in our shared vision. I am committed to this journey and I have put a substantial amount of my own capital at risk together with Silver Lake," said Michael Dell.
Dell has been trying to rebuild itself for over four years now, but the process is hard to execute as a public company since many investors usually get disappointed with even minimal losses. Taking the company private will help Michael Dell not only consolidate the power at his own hands and carry out decisions without taking into consideration opinions of public investors, but also to transform the company much faster.
"Michael Dell is a true visionary and one of the preeminent leaders of the global technology industry. Silver Lake is looking forward to partnering with him, the talented management team at Dell and the investor group to innovate, invest in long-term growth initiatives and accelerate the company's transformation strategy to become an integrated and diversified global IT solutions provider," said Egon Durban, a Silver Lake managing partner.

Advice for Young Professionals from University of Rochester Leaders
The University of Rochester offers great professional development for its employees and communities. An affinity group called Young Leaders @ UR provides professional development and community involvement opportunities for University employees 40 years old and younger.
In the last month, Young Leaders @ UR held a Leadership Panel which brought successful and established leaders in the UR community together to offer guidance and advice to young professionals. The panel was set up as a question and answer session and featured panelists from all different departments in the University, from the Medical Center to the College.
One of the major discussion points was career advancement and the steps that young professionals can take to seek out professional development and further their careers. The panelists suggested getting involved in "big picture" aspects of your organization. Ask to take on a new project or to become involved in existing projects that can get you in the view of supervisors or higher ups. The panelists did caution however that when becoming involved in higher up projects be prepared for disappointments and for things to not always work out as you expect. It is key to engineer these disappointments into successes.
Recent college graduates asked the panel if it was dangerous to stay in a position for over two years when you want to pursue something else. The panel answered that if one stays in an entry level position for more than five years there might be some level of question. But it's more important not how long you are in the job, but what you are doing when you are there.
The panel ended with advising young professionals to think beyond your work as simply a job. Work should be satisfying and productive and encompass both 'work' and the concept of 'service', something that is meaningful. Thinking about how much of our lives we spend "working", I think it is important for it all to mean something. And combining this concept of "work" and "service", to me, equates to "career".

Medical Isotopes
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the facts are today the minister had the opportunity to show some dignity and apologize to Canadians suffering from cancer for her callous remarks. She did not. She could have resigned, but she is still here. She does not seem to understand how hurtful her comments are to Canadians. Does she not see that the damage done to Canadians' faith in their government to help them has been suffering by her actions? Why is she still here?
Medical Isotopes
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Lisa Raitt Minister of Natural Resources
Mr. Speaker, it is the actions of this government that matter in dealing with the medical isotopes. Since November 2007, we have dealt with this issue in a forward thinking way. We have taken action, which is something that the Liberals did not do in 13 years in government. We are working with global partners. Indeed, we have a recognized leadership role in the world with respect to medical isotopes and we will continue to use that next week in Toronto when the world comes to Toronto to discuss the issue.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Bob Dechert Mississauga—Erindale, ON
Mr. Speaker, members of the House have spent considerable time questioning the government about the circumstances surrounding the detention and treatment of Taliban prisoners transferred by Canadian Forces members. Canadian Forces members were, by innuendo, accused of possibly abusing defenceless persons and of failing to investigate injuries.
Our government initiated a number of investigations into these allegations. Could the Minister of National Defence tell us if these investigations are concluded and if so, what were the results?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service report has concluded the allegations of abuse were unfounded. Then a Military Police Complaints Commission report stated "there was no harm done". The prisoners were provided with "a high standard of medical care". Today the board of inquiry after two years of work, 40 days of hearings, 121 witnesses, has found that the conduct of the Canadian Forces personnel was "consistently above reproach when dealing with the prisoners in Afghanistan".
There were three investigations and three clearances of the forces. Canadians know their forces are the finest in the world. They are courageous, honourable and bring pride to our country at home and abroad.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Ujjal Dosanjh Vancouver South, BC
Mr. Speaker, the west coast U.S. ports have accused the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert of receiving illegal subsidies under the WTO just because our governments in Canada have attempted to provide better roads and rail links to our ports.
Our government's right to invest in better rail and roads is fundamental to our ports and our economic progress. It is a question of our sovereignty.
What is the government doing to protect our sovereign right to make these nationally important investments in our ports?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Stockwell Day Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway
Mr. Speaker, we are getting the message out around the world that the Asia-Pacific advantages that we have put in place, including infrastructure, our very competitive tax regime and a sound banking system, are an invitation to other countries to consider investing in Canada, in the Asia-Pacific in looking at their shipping opportunities. These are clearly areas that we have taken a close look at to ensure we are not off-side in any areas of trade.
We are proud of what we have done with the Asia-Pacific initiatives. It gives a great advantage to Canadians and a great advantage to people wanting to do business with Canada.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Roger Pomerleau Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, Radio-Canada employees launched a huge campaign in support of the public broadcaster together with VIPs from communities and regions across Quebec and Acadia. The purpose of the campaign is to get stable, increased funding for Radio-Canada.
Will the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages finally agree to this request, which has the support of all Quebeckers, and will he do so right away?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam
James Moore Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages
Mr. Speaker, year after year, in the last four Conservative budgets, the Conservative Party has kept its election promise to maintain or increase CBC/Radio-Canada's budget. That is what we did. We delivered the goods.
Unlike the Bloc Québécois. The Bloc's platform, Agir maintenant, its economic plan, does not even mention CBC/Radio-Canada. One would never guess that our public broadcaster was a priority for the Bloc Québécois.
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, the government is ignoring the barriers that women face when it comes to employment insurance.
The status of women committee heard from witness after witness who testified that women and part-time workers were being shut out of EI. The numbers speak for themselves. Coverage rates for unemployed women have declined from 82% in 1989 to 39% in 2008, this despite the claim of the Conservatives that they have done enough to fix the system.
Why is the government ignoring women and refusing to remove the barriers that prevent women from accessing EI?
Employment Insurance
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Diane Finley Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development
Mr. Speaker, the fact is our EI system treats everyone equally. It treats men the same as women. There are no gender differences. Everyone pays in at the same premiums. They receive benefits on the same basis.
We are working very hard to ensure that system remains equal and fair to all involved and that the assistance we provide to those who are unfortunate enough to lose their jobs is maintained on the same basis.
Those extra benefits we have offered to men and women to help them through these challenging economic times, every benefit we have offered has been voted against by the NDP.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Stephen Woodworth Kitchener Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, when the U.S. Congress included buy American provisions in its stimulus bill earlier this year, Canadians were justifiably concerned.
The U.S. market represents a $375.5 billion destination for Canadian exports. Trade with Canada supports more than seven million U.S. jobs. That is why our government is taking every opportunity to urge President Obama and the Congress to honour their international trade commitments.
Could the Minister of International Trade tell the House what else our government is doing to ensure Washington hears this message loud and clear?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Stockwell Day Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway
Mr. Speaker, the free trade agreement prohibits the federal and national levels from getting into protectionist activity. However, it does not put the same prohibitions on the state, provincial and municipal levels.
Provinces and municipalities in Canada have not lapsed into protectionist activity, but unfortunately that is happening in the states with the buy America provisions. We are hitting that at every level, including today on Capitol Hill. Our consuls general and trade commissioners are speaking to congressmen and women right through the political realm there. We are dealing with it at the administration level.
Business in the U.S. is now supporting us. The New York Times is supporting us on this, as well as the World Bank president. We are making headway—

Definitely Not Coffee, But an Excellent Substitute - Better than Decaf Coffee
Posted by Reviewer2620349 on Feb 02, 2011
I was extremely skeptical when a friend highly recommended this to me with rave reviews. However, I was needing to kick my coffee habit for upcoming pregnancy, and I just cannot find a good cup of decaf coffee. So I ordered the Dandy Blend, but I did not hold my breath. :-) Well surprise surprise! No, it does not taste just like coffee, but it is an excellent and healthy substitute for me, and tastes better (smoother) than decaf coffee. I personally don't like it very strong as I think the stronger it is the less it tastes like coffee to me, but I enjoy it perfectly following the instructions on the package to use a heaping tsp. to 8 oz. of water for a coffee-like beverage. I'm ordering the bigger, economical package b/c even my husband helped me fly through my first bag!
Very good taste!
Posted by Reviewer1476343 on Oct 10, 2010
I was skeptical at first, but after tasting this instant beverage it was an instant winner for me. I didn't experience the nervousness, nauseating feeling every time I would drink a cup and a case of the blahs that would stay with me for the entire day that I'd began to have when I stopped drinking coffee the beginning of this year. I can now enjoy drinking a cup whenever I want to without having to worry about anything at all. I will continue to buy this in the place of coffee from now on.
Dandy Blend Beverage
Posted by Reviewer2970244 on Jul 05, 2011
Looking for a hot drink to replace coffee. This has been the closest yet, but since my love is dark roast black coffee, this didn't make it for me. If you like capicino's with milk and sweetener Dandy Blend would be ideal.
Yummy stuff
Posted by notsteveaustin on Mar 09, 2011
Smells like coffee, tastes better!
too expensive
Posted by Reviewer1073728 on Feb 12, 2011
but really good
I like it
Posted by Reviewer2163308 on Jul 05, 2011
I have been looking for a good coffee substitute for quite a while. Tried a few but didn't like it. This one does the trick for me. Good flavor, with or without sweetening.
Fantastic Product
Posted by Reviewer3248694 on Feb 16, 2011
This is the first time I've used iHerb.com and I was very impressed with the whole process. I received my product, which by the way is a great alternative to coffee and tastes great, in a very timely manner and I will definately order again from this company. Thanks so much Tina
Great healthy coffee substitute!
Posted by GallaChiro on Oct 28, 2010
Nice flavor, has a learning curve but will never go back to coffee again, its sweet, nutty and healthy and non acidic.
Great coffe
Posted by Reviewer1189011 on Aug 19, 2011
This one was excellent, we loved it! I tested it on my husband without telling him that it was not "proper" cofee, and he didn`t notice
good coffee replacement
Posted by 5043751949630886538 on Dec 23, 2012
i like that it's gluten-free. other herbal coffee substitutes also use barley and rye but they are not gluten-free. this is a great alternative. i also like that it comes in bulk or single servings to suit every need.

Sups end annual budget talks
The Webster County Board of Supervisors wrapped up budget hearings for fiscal year 2014 Friday.
Budget proposals from two departments reflected some uncertainty – as available funds will be partly dictated by state and federal action.
Russ Naden, director of the Webster County Veteran Affairs Commission, requested a budget of $105,628 for the fiscal year, which begins July 1.
This includes $56,800 for general services to veterans. The commission provides financial assistance to qualifying former service members with rent, food and medical care, as well as funeral expenses.
It is difficult to anticipate needs in these areas, Naden said.
Naden requested $33,710 for administrative expenses.
That includes $28,080 for Naden's successor. He will vacate the office he's held since 2008 later this year.
As mandated by state law, the veteran affairs director must be budgeted for no less than 30 hours per week.
Included in the department's budget is a $10,000 grant from the state.
According to Naden, these funds have been appropriated for several years to be used in administering the office.
The Iowa Legislature has yet to approve them for the coming fiscal year, though Naden said the state is likely to do so.
Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2014 could have ramifications for Webster County's Community Services budget, according to Director Ken Hays.
The department, which oversees mental health and developmental disabilities services, receives funding from numerous sources. As such, much the department's $3,121,859 proposed budget would come from outside the county's general fund.
Hays pointed to cost-saving measures undertaken by the department, including affiliation with County Social Services, a consortium of more than 20 Iowa counties created to pool resources.
With the conclusion of hearings, Webster County has until March 15 to submit a completed budget to the state.

At the ironically named Liberty High in Virginia, administrators told students they couldn't tape their mouths shut to protest abortion because it was a distraction.
In Tinker v. Des Moines, the U.S. Supreme Court said students had a First Amendment right to wear black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Greg asks:
Now tell me, how does tape over the mouth in any way rise to the standard set in this case — "substantial interference with school discipline or the rights of others" — in light of the fact that the tape would be in no way more disruptive than the black armbands in Tinker?
This seems like a fairly clear violation of Tinker. It's not uncommon for student protesters to tape their mouths. On the annual Day of Silence to protest harassment of gays, students often duct-tape their mouths.

If you mix up this dough and as I found, it ends up dry and scrappy and not even all the flour is mixed in due to lack of moisture, how do you roll it out to fit the pan???I dont understand how this could work??

Long Wavy Curls
The waves run from the ears down to the chest with confidence and sophistication. The hair is weaved to the side to make way for a modest look. Rollers are enough to create this wavy blonde cascade but curling iron ensures best result. Gel or hair spray will hold the fringe steady. Women with straight hair may apply gel or hair spray first before curling it.

Gay, who was competing for the first time since missing a year because of hip surgery, won the men's 100-meter "B" race by finishing in 10.00 seconds into a 1.5 meters-per-second headwind.
Jamaica's Yohan Blake (9.90), Trinidad and Tobago's Keston Bledman (9.93) and American Mike Rodgers (9.99) each finished faster in their 100-meter race, but did so with the help of a 0.7 mps tailwind.
"It feels good to be back out there," Gay said. "I think my agent tricked me saying he was putting me in a low-key heat. But then I got out here and see all of the cameras. I was pretty nervous.
"I would like to get one more race in before the Trials. I have time to get better."
Sanya Richards-Ross posted her second world-leading time of 2012 in as many weeks while winning the 200-meter dash in 22.09. She won the 400 at the Prefontaine Classic last week in 49.39.
Jesse Williams was one of four men's high jumpers to exceed the meet record. He won with 7-8 ¾, the second-best height in the world this year.
Bernard Lagat took the lead in the final 80 meters and won the 1,500 in 3:34.63.
T'erea Brown ran the 400 hurdles in 54.85 for a season-best and meet record time.
The adidas Grand Prix was the third stop for the Visa Championship Series and the sixth stop for the Samsung Diamong League. The series concludes with the Olympic Trials June 21-July 1 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. The Diamond League heads to Paris July 6 for its next event.SWIMMING
Haley Anderson won the FINA Olympic Marathon Swim Qualifier Saturday in Setubal, Portugal, qualifying for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Swim Team in the process.
Anderson and Ashley Twichell, who finished fourth, were among a field of 41.
Only one American swimmer could earn a berth in the London 2012 Olympic Games, and, to do so, she had to finish in the top nine or be the continental champion.
"To qualify for the London Olympics is amazing," Anderson said. "I'm speechless. I called my Dad after the race and said, 'I did it,' but that was about all I [could] get out of my mouth."
Anderson and Twichell battled among the leaders most of the way, with Anderson moving to the front of the pack in the final 500 meters of a race that lasted almost two hours. Like all other Olympic nominations, Anderson's spot in London is pending confirmation by the United States Olympic Committee.
"I knew I was going to have a good race after swimming well at our nationals in April," Anderson said. "I'm happy to have won the race and I'm especially happy with the last stretch where I was able to dig deep."
Elsewhere, the final night of the Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational included impressive wins by Ashley Wanland and David Plummer.
Wanland edged four-time Olympian Amanda Beard for the women's 100-meter breaststroke gold.
Plummer won the men's 100-meter backstroke over fellow national team member Matt Grevers and Japanese Olympian Masauki Kishida.
Grevers, a 2008 Olympic silver medalist, won the 200-meter backstroke Saturday by more than three seconds.
Jordyn Wieber won her second consecutive U.S. all-around women's title Sunday at the Visa Championships in St. Louis.
On the men's side, John Orozco edged Danell Leyva, 184.850-184.800, Saturday for his first all-around title. Sam Mikulak earned the men's all-around bronze.
Wieber won the title over Gabrielle Douglas and Alexandra Raisman.
"It's so exciting to come out and win the Visa Championships in an Olympic year," Wieber said.
Raisman took the all-around bronze for the third straight year by winning the balance beam and floor.
Alicia Sacramone, a 2008 Olympic silver medalist, won her sixth U.S. title in the vault just eight months after suffering an Achilles tendon injury.
Orozco came from behind in the last event, the floor exercise.
"I can't even describe how I'm feeling right now," Orozco said. "Danell gave me such a great fight – it was so exciting and so amazing.
"The level of gymnastics tonight was incredible," he said after the event.
Levya, the defending all-around champion, finished first in the parallel bars and high bar.
Jake Dalton won the floor title while Alex Naddour won the pommel horse, Jonathan Horton won the still rings and Sean Senters won the vault.
The Visa Championships, USA Gymnastics' national championships, determined the 15 men and 15 women who will form the Senior National Teams and compete in the Olympic Trials June 28-July 1 in San Jose, Calif.
Orozco, Leyva, Mikulak, Dalton, Naddour and Horton will be joined among the men's competitors by Chris Brooks, Alex Buscaglia, Josh Dixon, Glen Ishino, Steven Legendre, C.J. Maestas, Paul Ruggeri, David Sender and Brandon Wynn.
The women's Olympic Trials competitors will include Wieber, Douglas, Raisman, Sacramone, Kyla Ross, Elizabeth Price, Sarah Finnegan, Sabrina Vega, Kennedy Baker, Brenna Dowell, Bridget Sloan, McKayla Maroney, Rebecca Bross, Anna Li and 2008 Olympic all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin.
Donnell Whittenburg (16-18) and Marvin Kimble (14-15) won junior men's all-around titles.
Lexie Priessman won the female junior all-around title.
Amanda Furrer rallied to claim a spot in London while Sergeant First Class Keith Sanderson and Emil Milev used less dramatic routes to also secure spots Friday during the Olympic Team Trials in Fort Benning, Ga.
Furrer lost her lead on Sarah Scherer during the third and final day of the Women's Three-Position Rifle before recovering to claim the only available spot. All Olympic nominations are pending approval from the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Sanderson and Milev remained Nos. 1 and 2 in Men's Pistol.
The last remaining position is in Men's Three-Position Rifle where the last of three days of competition is Monday.
Furrer thought her opportunity was gone when Scherer, already a nominee for the London 2012 Olympic Games, took the lead.
"I completely thought I was out of it at that point," she said. "I went outside and fought back the tears and talked to my dad and he told me to hang in there and he calmed me down a little bit.
"I just decided right there that I was not going to give up and I was not going to let it end like that."
Furrer used a 196-192 advantage over Scherer from the kneeling position to take a 2.1-point lead heading into the final round.
Sanderson shot a new national match record and tied the world match record of 591 points in Men's 25-meter Rapid Fire Pistol. He finished with 1,781 total points for his second Olympic qualification.
"I was hoping for one point higher, but I'm not complaining," Sanderson said. "I don't want to be satisfied with it. I want to be hungry when I go into the Olympic Games and do better."
Bryant Wallizer won the gold medal in the Men's 10-meter Air Rifle National Championship.
Petty Officer First Class Sandra Uptagrafft, a recent Olympic team nominee, added a Women's 10-meter Air Pistol gold medal to her Women's 25-meter Sport Pistol victory.
Sergeant First Class Jason Parker had a perfect score of 400 in the prone series and retained his lead heading into the final day of the Men's Rifle Three-Position.
The Olympic Team Trials for Smallbore and National Championships for Rifle/Pistol conclude Monday with competition in the Men's 50-Meter Rifle Three-Position, Women's 10-meter Air Rifle, Men's Center Fire Pistol, Men's Standard Pistol and Junior Men's Sport Pistol. The Men's Three-Position is the only one with an Olympic spot at stake.
Eric Hurd and Jeff Larimer reached the Men's Double Canoe Final Sunday at the ICF Slalom World Cup in Cardiff, Wales, to claim the last berth for the London 2012 Olympic Games for the United States.
Earlier in the event, Casey Eichfeld (slalom canoe), Caroline Queen (slalom kayak) and Scott Parsons (slalom kayak) qualified for London. Sprint kayakers Carrie Johnson and Tim Hornsby secured berths prior to the weekend.
Hurd and Larimer entered the weekend as the points leaders in Double Canoe. Another U.S. team would have had to finish higher and in the top 20 to deny them the spot. Hurd and Larimer placed ninth to earn their first Olympic berth.
Queen finished 35th, edging Ashley Nee, who was 37th, for the spot. They were tied in Olympic selection points entering the weekend, but had the tiebreaker edge.
Parsons is headed to the Olympic Games for the third straight time and Eichfeld for the second straight time.
Parsons entered with the points lead and placed 11th in the Men's Kayak Slalom to lead U.S. finishers.
Eichfeld made the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in the Double Canoe. He qualified in the Men's Single Canoe with a sixth-place finish to bypass 2008 Olympian Benn Fraker, who finished 11th in the semifinals.
Eichfeld needed to finish in the top 20 and at least three spots above Fraker.
"Benn and I both thought it was going to be decided in the semifinals," Eichfeld said. "It didn't even occur to me that we would end up taking it into the finals."
Kayla Harrison, a two-time world medalist, won the Judo Grand Slam in Rio de Janeiro in the 78 kg class, beating Brazil's Samanta Soares for the title. Travis Stevens, who will be Harrison's teammate in London this summer, placed second to Brazil's Victor Penalber in the 81 kg class.
For Harrison, this was her last major test before heading to London this summer and she dominated the competition.
Nick Delpopolo, who qualified to compete in London, placed fifth in the 73 kg class.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Mariel Zagunis earned her fifth straight individual medal on the international circuit on Saturday when she took bronze at the Gent Saber World Cup in Belgium.
The top-ranked athlete in the world doubled the scores of both of her first two opponents as she took out Davina Hirzmann of Germany, 15-7, in the table of 64 and Iryna Kravchuk of Turkey, 15-5, in the table of 32.
Dagmara Wozniak, who will compete with Zagunis in saber in London, finished sixth.
U.S. head coach Lee Bodimeade added four players to the National Team Friday following the conclusion of the Women's National Championships in College Park, Md.
Alesha Widdall, Emily Wold, Stephanie Fee and Kelsey Kolojejchick were promoted from the Developmental Squad to join the 23 players already on the national team. Bodimeade will name the 16-player Olympic roster from that group today.
"We need to develop depth and have a succession plan for athletes that may turn over," said Bodimeade, who also named 15 players to the Developmental Squad. "After the Games, there will be athletes that retire, athletes that want to have time away, and athletes that want to do other things."
New Jersey shut out Pennsylvania, 4-0, in the tournament championship match to finish 5-0.
Shannon Taylor of North led the tournament with eight goals. Kathleen Sharkey from New Jersey, Lauren Pfeiffer from California and Paige Selenski from Mid Atlantic finished with seven goals each.
The U.S. women's volleyball team began pursuit of its third straight FIVB World Grand Prix title by winning three weekend matches.
The United States reached 3-0 in Pool B with Sunday's 25-18, 25-19, 25-15 victory over the Dominican Republic.
China, which shares the lead in the point standings, is also 3-0, along with Cuba and Brazil.
The United States moves into the next round next weekend when it faces Italy, Germany and Brazil.
Destinee Hooker led the win over the Dominican Republic with 15 kills, a block and an ace.
In its earlier matches in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the United States defeated Germany, 25-17, 25-15, 23-25, 25-11, Friday and Chinese Taipei, 25-10, 25-22, 25-12, Saturday.
Elsewhere, the beach volleyball team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh reached Monday's semifinals of the Moscow Grand Slam FIVB Swatch World Tour event in Russia.
Olympic gold medalist Anna Tunnicliffe and her Team McLaren crew of Molly Vandemoer and Debbie Capozzi, earned a bronze medal in the 2012 Skandia Sail for Gold regatta after defeating Team Skudina of Russia in a one race petit finals. The third-place finish gave Tunnicliffe's team the ISAF Sailing World Cup Women's Match Racing title for the second year. The event was held in Weymouth and Portland in the United Kingdom, where the sailing events will be held for the 2012 Games.
Amanda Clark and Sarah Lihan earned a silver medal in the women's 470 and Olympic silver medalist Zach Railey finished fourth in the Finn class.
Carlos Bocanegra tied the career scoring mark for U.S. defenders to lead a 3-1 victory over Antigua & Barbuda Friday in the opener of World Cup men's soccer Group A semifinal qualifying in front of 23,971 in Tampa, Fla.
Bocanegra, the team captain, has 13 career goals to tie Marcelo Balboa.
Clint Dempsey scored the game-winner on a penalty kick and Herculez Gomez also scored.
The United States plays Guatemala Tuesday in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
The USA Rugby Men's National Team lost to Canada, 28-25, in a contest held in Kingston, Ont. The next international matchup for the Eagles is June 23 against Italy in Houston.

By Jonathan Kaminsky Associated Press
OLYMPIA — After facing criticism that a bill purporting to mandate parental notification for minors seeking abortions would also place long-existing abortion rights in the state at risk, Republican lawmakers on Monday introduced revisions narrowing the bill's scope.
In its original form, Senate Bill 5156 would have repealed two laws passed by voter initiative in 1991 codifying in state law that women have the right to seek abortions and that doctors have the right to perform them.
By extension, the bill would have made doctors performing abortions in the state guilty of a class C felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000, in the event that federal laws allowing abortion are reversed.
Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, a bill sponsor, said that the state's code revisers office, a non-partisan body that helps draft and review bills to make sure they are consistent with existing statutes, recommended that the two laws be repealed in order to avoid any possible conflict with a new definition of abortion contained in the bill.
That definition, which Padden described as "broader and more-up-to date" than the state's current one, explicitly included the use of any drug, substance or device with the intent to end a pregnancy and "with reasonable likelihood cause the death of the unborn child."
In the revised version of the bill, both the new definition of abortion and the repeal of existing law are eliminated.
In an email to Padden, code reviser K. Kyle Thiessen said that repealing one of the laws would have recast a third law to criminalize doctors performing abortions.
"(N)othing in your bill request shows any intent to expand the criminal penalty" for performers of abortion, Thiessen wrote, adding that the bill's doing so "was an unintentional drafting error."
Padden said that it was never his plan that the bill do anything more than require pregnant minors to consult with a parent before being eligible for an abortion.
"It's unfortunate there was a drafting error, but it's been corrected and it's part of the legislative process," said Padden.
The bill will receive a public hearing in the Senate's Law and Justice Committee, chaired by Padden, on Feb. 6.
Elaine Rose, CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, said the requirement for parental notifications for abortions are not helpful to pregnant teens in crisis.
She also expressed skepticism that the overreaching language of the original bill originated with the code reviser.
"That seems like a pretty big drafting error to me," Rose said.

Nvidia Corp. reportedly plans to acquire new shares of Via Technologies. The investment will not be substantial, but the fact that Nvidia wants to invest into a microprocessor, chipset and graphics chip designer seems to be rather important and may indicate interest of Nvidia in patents of Via and its subsidiary Centaur Technologies.
According to a news-story at DigiTimes web-site, Nvidia may potentially invest up to $81 - $105 million into 300 million new shares of Via Technologies. The report claims that the graphics chip designer is in talks about acquiring "a portion" of new shares. Via said that possible candidates for the private placement will be made clear after a shareholder meeting scheduled on June 19, 2009.
Via Technologies is headed by WenChi Chen and Cher Wang, who are among the top 5 richest people in Taiwan based on Forbes figures, and the company is hardly an acquisition target. Therefore, a potential investment from Nvidia is rather surprising.
On the other hand, sales of Via Technologies have been declining for more than five years now and the company needs cash, meanwhile, Nvidia may be interested in licensing certain patents from Via. In fact, Nvidia already has cross-license agreement with S3 Graphics signed in 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Via Technologies, but the firm may be interested in getting intellectual property from Centaur Technologies, another wholly-owned subsidiary of Via that develops central processing units, and the investment may be the first step for a cross-licensing agreement.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Lenovo Group expects personal computers in tablet form-factor to account for from 10% to 15% of the PC market already this year. The company believes that PC vendors who will not be able to compete on the market of slates will be wiped out by competitors and vanish into oblivion.
"Tablets to represent 10% to 15% of the personal computer market this year," said Rory Read, chief operating officer of Lenovo, in an interview with Reuters.
There are a lot of bold predictions about performance of tablet PC markets. Some analysts expect various PC vendors to ship as many as 51.3 million slates in 2011. According to Gartner, worldwide PC shipments totaled 350.9 million units in 2010, a 13.8% increase from 2009. If the PC market grows by 13% in 2011 as well, it will total 396.51 million. Lenovo's predictions are in line with estimates by analysts, but they still look pretty over-optimistic.
Even though Apple iPad appeared to be pretty popular among end-users, nobody knows how successful will be tablets based on other platforms. Apple has a lot of customers who do not create any content, need to respond to complex emails or use demanding software, which is why many of them simply do not need keyboards, which explains the success of the iPad. Customers, who use Windows PCs, Blackberry smartphones and other business-oriented devices use keyboards more often and tablets may not be the gadgets that they need.
Still, tablets will be a new form-factor for PCs, which means that any vendor, which plans to stay on the market in the long term, has to participate on this part of the market.
"We have an extreme focus on the innovation of LePad and LePhone because these products will dominate the future market. Anyone who loses this battle will be phased out from the history of this industry," said Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of Lenovo, in an interview with Bloomberg news-agency.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Emphysema is a chronic or long term lung disease. This disease is typically called hyperinflation.
Just like a balloon the lungs are over-inflated so that they lose their elasticity and elastic recoil. There are balloon like bullae or blisters in the lung tissues.
Because carbon dioxide is trapped in the bullae, the body is deprived of fresh air flowing into the lungs. The lungs begin by compensating by taking deeper breaths.
This further expands the lung tissues and makes it lose its elasticity. With loss of elasticity more carbon dioxide accumulates in the lungs leaving less space for fresh air and this leads to shortness of breath.
With time the muscles and ribs begin to expand to contain the expanded lungs. The diaphragm that lies beneath the lungs and is normally dome shaped also flattens and lose their functional capacity.
Image is of H&E (haematoxylin and eosin) stained lung tissue sample taken from an end-stage emphysema patient. Cell nuclei are blue-purple, red blood cells are red, other cell bodies and extracellular material are pink, and air spaces are white. Source: "T Cells Cause Lung Damage in Emphysema". PLoS Med 1(1): e25.
One of the most important causes of emphysema is cigarette smoking. Other causes include air pollution, work hazards, and lung infections.
Cigarette smoke changes the structure and function of the lungs by causing irritation and inflammation of the narrow airways. This leads release of enzymes in the lungs that destroy lung tissues and an increased size in the air sacs eventually leading to emphysema.
The destroyed lung tissues form bullae (holes) and lose elasticity - a typical finding in emphysema.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a rare genetic condition where there are decreased levels of the protective protein, alpha-1 antitrypsin. Alpha-1 antitrypsin protects the lungs from the destructive effects of enzymes. Patients who lack this enzyme thus have lungs that are damaged by enzymes called elastases at an early age.
Emphysema is typically characterized by shortness of breath and wheezing. It is now considered to be a part of chronic obstructive lung disease. The destruction of lung tissue seen with emphysema leads to a reduction in the functional capacity of the lungs.
Early diagnosis and management can help prevent gross damage to the lungs. Several breathing tests as well as imaging studies like X rays are used in diagnosing emphysema.
Medical treatment for emphysema includes:-
Lung transplantation and lung volume reduction surgery are surgical options that are available. These should be used only when the use of all medical treatments as well as pulmonary rehabilitation have been tried and symptoms continue to persist.

Have a Few Laughs, Help a Good Cause
Cancer isn't something that we can often find humor in.
It is truly remarkable, then, that Jenny Allen was able to take her own life threatening diagnosis and transform it into the performance I Got Sick Then I Got Better. From what I can tell, it seems pretty much guaranteed to make you laugh while simultaneously pulling at your heartstrings.
Even better, by attending the show you can help individuals who are currently going through the tumultuous journey of a cancer diagnosis. Mention the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge Hospitality House when purchasing tickets, and Geva Theatre will donate $3 back to this facility. The Hope Lodge Hospitality House, where – full disclosure – I work one weekend a month, is a home away from home for cancer patients and their loved ones. It is a free place to stay when you are trying to cope with a life altering disease that doesn't discriminate based on your income.
The show is only being performed from March 7th – 11th so be sure to get your tickets now. This isn't available through the Box Office, so please call Colleen Brown Monday – Friday at 585-232-1366 ext. 3057 and mention the Hope Lodge!
