Sick and Wrong Ch. 05byGoldeniangel©
Author's Note: This is the point where I'd like to get the series into more extremes... warning for this one - Non-Consensual marital sex as well as a kind of lesbian rape.
Professor Dandon gasped as Priscilla pulled his lovely wife into the room, Barbara's eyes were wide with shock and she barely made any noise as Priscilla put her hand over the older woman's mouth.
"Well hello..." Priscilla practically purred as she looked over this new acquisition, "Aren't you awfully pretty for an older woman... and check out these tits!"
The Professor made a noise of protest at the same time as his wife, Priscilla ignored them both, tearing Barbara's straps off of her shoulders and letting the huge boobs flop out. They were very large and sagging, with huge areola and big dark nipples. One of her greatest assets, Barbara was very proud of her breasts. Having them called "tits" and then having them exposed in front of this beautiful young woman who had obviously just been fucking her husband, had to be the greatest humiliation of Barbara's life. Priscilla slapped one of the massive mammeries, laughing as it flopped back and forth and Barbara shrieked pain, the noise muffled by Priscilla's hand over her mouth; although the older woman was much too stunned to even try to move.
"Now Priscilla," protested Professor Dandon, stepping forward. He stopped as Priscilla turned to look at him, no longer the sweet student who had so lustily encouraged him to fuck her. There was something dominating in her eyes, something that he had never encountered before.
"You have such a beautiful wife," crooned Priscilla, "I bet you guys have the most amazing sex life... I would if I was married to a gorgeous slut like this." Barbara's body jerked at the word slut and she whimpered, not knowing what to do, not knowing why her husband wasn't defending her honor. Priscilla's hand went under Barbara's skirt and her eyes widened as she looked back at the Professor, "And she's already wet! How wonderful... something must be turning her on... maybe it's having these big cow-tits out for me to see."
The Professor watched as Priscilla continued to molest his wife, feeling frozen in place and unable to do anything despite the pleading that filled Barbara's eyes. Part of his inability to move was certainly his shame that he was getting aroused, his eyes locked onto where Priscilla's hand was stroking Barbara's pussy underneath the skirt. When Priscilla leaned forward and actually kissed Barbara, pressing her body against the older woman, the Professor groaned aloud with lust.
Breaking off the kiss, Priscilla looked over at him, and both of them women stared at his groin; Priscilla with amused lust, and Barbara with terrified betrayal.
Priscilla dragged Barbara over to where the Professor was standing, putting the older woman on her knees in front of her husband, and yanking the Professor's pants down before ordering, "Clean off his dick."
Barbara looked up at her, uncomprehending, and Priscilla shoved the older woman's face into the Professor's crotch. Professor Dandon reacted with shock and pleasure as his wife of 15 years, whom had never once given him any kind of oral pleasure, was suddenly licking at his crotch. He couldn't believe that she was doing it, couldn't believe that Priscilla had started this... everything felt very dream like and hazy. Except the pleasure of his wife lapping away at his crotch, Priscilla watching the older woman pleasure him with glowing eyes.
"Good girl," Priscilla stroked the older woman's hair, her hands coming down to gently caress Barbara's breasts. After the rough treatment before, Barbara actually felt grateful that the touches were gentle. She actually started to suck on her husband's dick of her own accord, not wanting to get herself in any kind of trouble; and it was actually more pleasant than she would have thought. Professor Harry Dandon gasped as his wife began sucking him down her throat, she was finding that she actually liked the weighty feel of him in her mouth. And Priscilla was rewarding her with the most gentle caresses that made her pussy well up with moisture. Getting excited, she felt almost as though she was in a trance, like this wasn't really happening but was just a dream.
"Good girl," crooned Priscilla, and she pulled Barbara away from the Professor's hard and ready dick, spreading her own legs and pushing Barbara's face down between them, "Now eat all your husbands cum out of my pussy."
The Professor moaned as Barbara tried to pull away and Priscilla slapped her across the face, taking her long nipples in each hand and twisting them hard, pulling the woman back into her pussy, "NOW you stupid cow... look at this huge udders. Eat out my cream pie you stupid slut."
Sobbing, her nipples tormented and cruelly pinched, Barbara complied, understanding that her husband was not going to interfere on her behalf. Her tongue flicked out and up along Priscilla's swollen pussy, tasting the womanly juices and the bitter cum, sliding up and down and Priscilla's grip on her nipples lessened slightly.
"Good little Moo-Cow, yes you are," sighed Priscilla, still playing with Barbara's sensitive nipples, "Can you say 'moo' little cow?"
Barbara paused, the grip on her poor nipples tightening a little as she hesitated. Then, softly, "Moo."
"Louder," sang Priscilla, "And don't stop licking."
"Moo." said Barbara louder and she started licking again and Priscilla laughed at her humiliation.
Looking up at her Professor, who was fisting his dick as he watched his wife eat out his student, Priscilla said, "I'll bet your cow-slut wife is wet Professor, why don't you go ahead and fuck her."
Barbara winced at the younger girl's crude terms, but she knew it was true. She was wet... but would her husband really?... Yes. Yes he would, she moaned into Priscilla's pussy as he started roughly pushing into her pussy, not at all the gentle lover that he usually was, but consumed with lust and forcing his way into her tightness. She moaned and squealed as she was roughly stretched, her voice vibrating into Priscilla's pleasure and making the younger woman pull her face more deeply into her pussy folds.
It was hard rollicking sex as the Professor raped his wife, taking out his frustrations on her helpless body, every thrust forcing her face deep into Priscilla's pussy. The humiliated woman squealed and whimpered, her tongue never ceasing to pleasure the girl in front of her because as soon as it did her nipples paid the price. Priscilla heaped verbal abuse upon her, squeezing Barbara's large tits and pulling on her nipples like she was milking the woman. Everything Priscilla did just egged on the Professor even more, he rammed into his wife, his dick punishing her pussy as he stretched it over and over again.
To her horror, Barbara began to cum. Her face buried in another woman's pussy, completely degraded and humiliated, her husband raping her... and she was cumming. The best, most intense orgasm of her life was washing over her; her screams of pleasure were muffled into Priscilla's pussy, which just set off Priscilla again, thrilled in her domination of the older woman. The Professor gasped and filled his wife's cunt with cum, shocked at himself but also finding much to enjoy in the situation.
When Barbara lay on the floor, crying and shaking, not knowing how to deal with the betrayal of both her husband and her own body, Professor Dandon felt very sorry. His wife's pussy was pink and swollen, leaking his cum, her breasts were pink and her long nipples were almost purple from the abuse they had taken. Priscilla's pussy juices coated his wife's mouth.
Priscilla could see the Professor's regrets, she began ushering him to the door, "Go take care your guests Professor Dandon, I'll take care of your wife."
The Professor was in such a daze from the events of the past hour that he allowed himself to be ushered to the door, not even realizing that he was leaving his wife alone with the instigator of all those events. As soon as he was gone Priscilla turned and faced Barbara, who was looking at her with muted horror.
"Ok little Moo-Cow," said Priscilla with an evil grin, "We're going upstairs to play now... We're going to have such a good time."
On the way up the stairs Priscilla picked up her purse. It had an item in there that she'd hoped to use tonight, although she'd had no idea that it would be in such exciting and wonderful circumstances. She made Barbara take the back stairs so that they could go up unobserved, leading the older woman by the nipples the entire way.

Cagayan Ridge covers the Cagayancillo group of islands in the north and San Miguel group of islands in the south. It is home to the 97,000-hectare Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ridge boasts at least 600 fish species, 379 coral species, 79 algae species, 13 shark species, 14 cetacean species and over 100 bird species. The TRNP's north and south islets are known sea turtle nesting sites and important seabird habitats. The Cagayan Ridge Corridor is also an important source and sink for fish egg and larvae in the Sulu Sea.
The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP), one of the most biologically diverse coral reef systems in the Philippines is a vital part of the Cagayan Ridge. The TRNP has been declared the only purely marine World Heritage Site in Southeast Asia by UNESCO, and in 1999, it was also declared a RAMSAR (The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands) site to demonstrate its global importance to the conservation of congregating seabird species.
Like oases in the desert seas, the small islands, reef atolls and shoals of Cagayan Ridge form a vibrant chain of critical life support systems necessary to maintain the marine biodiversity and fisheries throughout the Sulu Sea and beyond.
Cagayancillo also experiences illegal fishing in its municipal waters, as fishers from nearby provinces encroach in Cagayancillo's waters to take advantage of its rich marine resources. The municipality's remote location makes it difficult to successfully prosecute violators, with the Palawan trial court being at least 15 hours' journey away across the Sulu Sea.

MAKING THE GRADE: The important partnership of teachers, students and parents
While legislators struggle with how to evaluate and grade the performance of your public schools, teachers and administrators continue to show up every day with a single goal of educating the students under their care. They need to be concerned about the grade they receive whether it is a color or a letter or some other method because so much hangs in the balance. But they will still invest most of their time trying to find the best way to make students successful.
At Greenville schools this summer the focus of study on the part of administrators and the board was to determine the best way to create a partnership with the community and particularly the parents. They discussed where they are today and the important areas to which they should direct their attention.
It was because of this that an article in a recent issue in USA Magazine caught my attention. Eric Sheninger, an award winning principal at New Milford High School in New Jersey, is the author of the article titled "What Teachers Want You to Know." It includes input from several teachers. I have drawn the following from his work.
In addition to some familiar points, Mr. Sheninger focused on the need for everyone to be on the team. He said coaches and advisors play an important role. He stressed the need for parents to take advantage of the internet to interact with teachers using websites, social media spaces and blogs. He also asked parents to be patient with teachers who may not be able to read their email until the end of their work day. We have grown accustomed to instant feedback, but most teachers do not have the luxury of checking their computer that often.
Teachers today are struggling with change. It is hard to change traditional thinking about anything but especially teaching. Teachers need for parents and the public to be patient as they work through the change process.
Parents and guardians also need to understand the role of at home projects. Amanda Dykes, a middle school teacher in McCalla, Ala., points out that these are not really designed to torture parents. She recommends parents find out when they are assigned, and when they are due and help their student develop a reasonable timeline for completing them. This can be done by contacting the teacher or checking their website. Parents should resist the urge to step in and help their child. This is meant to be a learning experience for the student.
Finally, the author of the article offers three suggestions to help parents foster a love of learning in their child.
Praise effort and specific work. Comment on the time the student spent on a project or the content of his/her paper.
Connect what children are studying to what is happening in the world or in their lives.
Avoid using rewards and punishments for academic work. The student should learn to love to read for the pleasure of it not for a financial reward.
These are only a few suggestions. A conversation with your child's teacher could help you to understand specific areas where you can help motivate your student and help him/her not only to enjoy school more, but to become a lifelong learner.
Janet Ralph is president of the Greenville Public Schools Board of Education.

Reviews for Snowman Treats
"Great cookie to make with children !!!!!"
"I had a cookie exchange to go to and thought these would be cute to bring. I used Ritz brand crackers and they were great! I couldn't find candy corn this time of year so used orange frosting for the nose and red decorator frosting for the top of the ear muffs. A little messy and time consuming but the results are worth the effort. My final recommendation would be to use almond bark instead of chips for the coating. I have used both and the almond bark is much easier to melt and doesn't get "globby" after being over the double boiler for awhile like the white chocolate chips did. Kids love these!"
"These are just too cute! The taste great too. You could make these all during the winter and not just for the holidays."
"My entire family had a blast making these treats. An added plus they taste great. We will be adding this to our cookie list. (We used small pieces of starburst warmed and shaped into cones for the noses. )"
"i made these but i put peanutbutter on one side and marshmellow cream on the other side very good"
"I love these, but I stood the nose straight up. It looked better to me. The white looks like snow on the carrot. Great Idea!"
"my mom has been making these for years, they are really good."
"I used oreo cookies and they look wonderful. Children will love them. Thank you for this easy cooking giving idea."
"I use Oreo's white chocolate dipped cookies and decorate them like snowmant. huge hit. easy for the grandkids to help with the decorating."
"I love this recipe and have tried it before with just milk choc. but now I really like this better! SO GOOD!"
"I agree, it is an odd combo but tastes delicious!!"
"To TrickyTray7 - It might sound like an odd combo, but it's always the first to be eaten on our cookie tray, young and old alike. Give it a try! :)"
"I think white chocolate and oreos sounds like a much more delicious pairing."
"These are sooo cute! I can't wait to make them! It's the right amount of sweet and salty."
"I think white fudge dipped oreo's already exist. You can then just decorate them.Melanie, Swansea IL"
"A great idea for these cookies would be to dip a oreo in white choc. im not a fan of any peanut butter.Karen, NY"
"Re: Snowman TreatsAnother idea is to use store bought shortbread cookies and put peanut butter between two and dip in melted chocolate.Pam, Ohio"
"Another idea is to put peanut butter between two Wheat Thins. Dip in melted chocolate. They taste like Butterfingers. email@example.com"
"Coat them in chocolate and they taste like Tag-a-longs. (The pb and choc Girl Scout cookies. I think that's what they're called.)"
"This would work great with oreo'sdont like peanut butter &crackers"

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The store of the future knows what you were doing last night.
Say you added an item to your online shopping bag, but then didn't purchase it. When you step into the actual store, the salesperson will know what items you were looking at online, how much you spent last time you shopped there and even what size you are.
This kind of targeted marketing and data mining is being offered as an option for luxury retailers as the boundaries between shopping online and in stores become more blurred.
The idea is that seamless, customized service is what customers want, and makes them feel pampered and special. But some customers find it just plain creepy.
"You can create an experience that is highly personalized, and the customer appreciates it, but it's very easy to go a little too far and be creepy and invasive," said Matt Dion, vice president of marketing for Elastic Path, a company that offers this type of software. "So I think the responsibility is on the brand to use the data in a responsible way."
Elastic Path's technology works with store loyalty apps and beacons inside the store, which are small sensors that "talk" to the app on a customer's phone. From there, information is beamed to a salesperson within the store.
Dion said that an expression he's heard lately is "trust is the new currency," and it resonates when it comes to using beacons in a store. It's important to not use the data to make the customer's experience an uncomfortable one. "The onus is not on technology, it's the people using the technology," Dion said.
One way a store can safeguard against creepiness is by making sure customers opt in to sharing their data, so they don't feel violated when an associate at the store brings their size without asking what it is.
The company's software is new, and says the technology is currently in proof of concept stages with several top luxury brands. But there are other beacons currently being tested.
Macy's department store tested beacons in its San Francisco and Manhattan stores over last year's holiday season, and said it's expanding beacons to all stores nationwide. Luxury retailer Michael Kors announced plans to experiment with beacons in its flagship London store next year, and department store Lord & Taylor has said it will also begin using the technology.
It's possible that once beacons really catch on, they will be pervasive. " You'll suddenly see 10 major chains in every category will have implemented it," said Lewis Paine, an expert on retail at GfK, a market research company. He said that beacon technology is an easier sell to millennials, who are expected to embrace it, as long as it's sold in a compelling way. "People are willing to share their information if they think they are getting something back in return," he said.
And beacons are only the beginning.
Dion said the future of retail may mean buying items with your smartwatch or using "intelligent mirrors" in dressing rooms. Those mirrors may have the ability to take a photo so you can remember what different items looked like after trying them on. Or instead of trying on clothes, the dressing rooms of the future would simply digitally overlay them on your reflection.
"But again, a mirror and cameras in changing rooms," Dion said, "that's got a huge potential for abuse and crossing the creepy line."

Contracting Profits will be interviewing soap and hand sanitizer manufacturers in an upcoming issue. Does anybody have questions they want us to ask?
The company I work for, Momar, Inc, manufactures a variety of hand soaps, cleaners and sanitizers. Feel free to contact me if you need more interviewees.
In reply to romontj:
Hello Dan,
Best Sanitizers, Inc. would like to be considered for questions for your upcoming issue.
Since 1995, Best Sanitizers, Inc. has been providing the Food Processing, JanSan and Healthcare industries with the highest quality products and support available. We were the first company to achieve an E3 rating for an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, the first to achieve a D2 rating for an alcohol/quat-based surface sanitizer, and we continue to explore and innovate new and better ways to deliver hand and surface hygiene solutions.
Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
Thank you for your consideration, April
In reply to April Zeman:
We have companies eager for your questions. So, what do you want to ask?
In reply to Dan Weltin:
Take a look at our YouTube video clarifying hand sanitizers. We offer the only SIX hour protection in the industry - vs 15 SECONDS for alcohol sanitizers. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or cell phone 315.263.7337. I will be on Dr Oz soon with this paradigm changing information. Thank you!
In reply to RichardKampas:
Woops, the YouTube link:
Dan, I would ask about manufacturers how antibacterial soaps fit into a sustainable operation, and should sites have a antibacterial/sanitizer policy. You may want to ask about how surfaces may be damaged from leaking units.
In reply to BJ Mandelstam:
That's a good question. I've seen plastic laminates and floor tile permanently damaged from hand soap. I've also seen soap dispensers corrode from soap and turn the soap green.
In reply to Ed Samson:
We're starting to post the answers to our Hand Sanitizer and Soaps Roundtable. Here's one about quat-based hand sanitizers.

Ripoff Report

comcastspecial.com Phishing SSN (social security number) and DOB (date of birth)
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Looking for the current Comcast promotion, I just googled "comcast promotion" and the first link in the page pointed to http://www.comcastspecial.com/ without me noticing that this isn't really comcast.com but a totally different site, deceptively made to appear like comcast's.
Thus, I did not suspect anything and attempting to "add to the basket" the package failed (that is the 1st sign of warning!!!), so I called the number next to it: 1-888-211-4309
The woman who answered the phone must have been delighted at the phish who just swallowed the bait... She first asked for ordinary details that every customer service representative would ask and, as we were getting ready to proceed with the actual order, she asked for my SSN (social security number) and date of birth.
Execuse me???
At this point I did not suspect yet that I called an incorrect number (sounded so comcast-like!) but I refused to share this information (classic identity theft type), so I said "thank you" and ended the conversation.
Surprised by Comcast's regquest for SSN, I search the web for similar complaints but found nothing. It was only after I searched for the number 1 (888) 211-4309 that I began to understand how sophisticated phishing has become.
Previously, I expected phishing through email only.
Not anymore... Phishing has reached search engines too. So watch out!

By Andrew Perzo / American Press
Why is there a yield sign at the railroad crossing on Main Street in Lacassine and not a stop sign like other crossings?
Under the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, most crossings like the one on Main — i.e., passive ones, or those without gates or lights — should be equipped with yield signs, not stop signs.
The 2003 edition of the MUTCD allowed for the use of either sign at passive crossings, but Federal Highway Administration officials in 2006 recommended using stop signs only in certain circumstances.
"It is recommended that YIELD signs be considered the default choice for traffic control at a passive crossing unless an engineering study or judgment determines that a STOP sign is appropriate," reads an agency guidance memo distributed in March of that year.
"A STOP sign establishes a legal requirement for each and every vehicle to come to a full stop. Indiscriminate use of the STOP sign at all or many passive grade crossings can cause poor compliance, increasing the risk of collisions associated with a high non-compliance rate."
Several studies have shown that stop-sign-equipped crossings are, counterintuitively, much less safe than people assume.
In April 2006, traffic safety researcher Richard Raub published the results of a study he conducted on the effectiveness of four kinds of warning devices — crossbucks, stops signs, gates and lights — at crossings in seven Midwestern states.
After comparing data gathered by the Federal Railroad Administration, Raub concluded that "collisions at highway-rail grade crossings where STOP signs were installed were more likely to occur than with any other form of warning system."
"One theory from the study of drivers at low-volume intersections is that they come to regard STOP signs to have less meaning than the law intends," Raub wrote. "The low-volume highway-rail crossings would fall within this theory."
He noted that the limited work then available on the use of yield signs at intersections suggested they were more effective than stops signs, and he questioned whether stop signs should be used at crossings at all. He called for more research "on driver behavior before further STOP-sign installation takes place."
The latest edition of the MUTCD, released in 2009, mandates the pairing of either a yield or a stop sign with crossbucks — together called a crossbuck assembly — at all passive rail crossings by 2019.
"The meaning of a Crossbuck Assembly that includes a YIELD sign is that a road user approaching the grade crossing needs to be prepared to decelerate, and when necessary, yield the right-of-way to any rail traffic that might be occupying the crossing or might be approaching and in such close proximity to the crossing that it would be unsafe for the road user to cross. ...," reads the manual.
"Certain commercial motor vehicles and school buses are required to stop at all grade crossings in accordance with 49 CFR 392.10 even if a YIELD sign (or just a Crossbuck sign) is posted."

Growing Up Properly
If your child is age three and up, they can have fun with this toy food. It's not for younger kids, though. Toy food might just BLOW THEIR MINDS.
"-and that's why," said Ryan, looking back at Jessica for confirmation, "That's why we believe that little Bristol simply won't grow up to be the kind of three year old who plays with toy food."
The young man behind the counter stared blankly. "Are you planning to order now, sir?"
Jessica and Ryan leaned over the Melissa & Doug Wooden Play Food sets, keeping little Bristol far, far away from the toy food.
"It says three and up, Ryan," Jessica bit her lip nervously. Ryan patted her arm.
"We'll keep her far back, sweetheart. Besides, we're not buying for today. We're comparison-shopping for her future."
Jessica nodded, poking the Pizza Party playset with a cautious finger. "It seems very well made."
Ryan lifted the Fridge Food set and looked close at the waffles. "It's almost enough to fool me. I bet Bristol would love it, once she's old enough."
Jessica tried to shift her little girl so she wouldn't be anywhere near the lovely Play-Time Produce Fruit. "That fruit does look very realistic. Should we plan to give her some, you know, when she turns three?"
Ryan tapped a play cookie against the play cookie sheet. "I think maybe we should. That'll give her an idea of what professional chefs and servers do every day."
Jessica gasped. "But Ryan! What if she takes them for granted! What if the play food gives her so much enjoyment, she assumes everyone working a low paying job is as happy as she?"
Ryan slowly understood. "Why, you're right! She might not understand how hard it is to work a low paying job full of high-stress, such as food service."
"Ryan!" Jessica cried out, looking at Bristol's sleeping face. "What if she's cruel? What if her experience with play food makes her feel superior to those who work in the industry!"
"We can't take that chance, Jessica," said Ryan firmly. "Let's get out of here. And quickly."
"But we have to stop by the Food Court on the way to the car," Jessica decided firmly. "We have to apologize for what we almost might have done three years from now."

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by Fed Kennedy, Aug 8, 2011.
Was this a response to the harshness of poly strings? When did people start doing this?
Don't know who or why specifically this started, but we use silicone as it is the easiest way to add permanent weight in the handle, and also provides a vibration dampening effect.
I have been using it for over 5 years, so I am sure that some of the more experienced customisers on here would have a more accurate answer.
For me, it started a long time ago when my father, (he's 70) used it to hold fishing weights (sinkers) in the handle, about 1970.
In wood racquets? Fiberglass was not out by then. Volkl, PDP, Yonex, and Fischer didn't start manufacturing until '72-'76.
DuPont, so handles would feel bigger! :twisted:
Yes, it's called drill and fill, for you young guys.
Dude...unless your father had you as a young teen, you're younger than I. We were modifying wood sticks back in the '60's and early '70's, but they were done minimally, and my stringer was stringing for many Hall of Famer's.
Do we have a ween contest about to break out?
does it really provide vibration dampening and what is typical amount of weight added.
Silicone definitely provides dampening. The amount of weight added is variable.
I love that band............oh wait, I misunderstood, I thought we could somehow win concert tickets
haha..Fun fact about Ween - One of their albums was done in it's entirety on a 4 track.
I know, and then not long afterwards they got signed to a major............. the early 90's were a very different time. These guys used to get played on MTV, now if it's not pro tooled and auto tuned ad nauseum you get bubkiss from the major outlets.
Yes..I walk into studios now and the drum parts were live room samples programmed by MIDI.
I have slithered off and wept the death of rock n roll more than once.
does silicone really change the weight
Yes, only 2 inches adds close to 10 grams. A full handle can be over 50 grams of extra weight.
It's a lot easier to modify a lot of frames with it without having to deal with reels of lead tape. The by-product is a dampened feel that some ppl have grown used to.

Crowdfunding means great ideas can thrive without relying on a bank, a producer or a rich relative to get them off the ground. One world in which the new financing model is a particularly welcome intervention is the notoriously fickle movie business, and this lively symposium shows you how to make it work for you.
Danae Ringelmann, founder of crowdfunding behemoth Indiegogo, delivers an exclusive keynote address on the best ways to get attention, and the maximum possible funding, for your project, whatever it may be. Later, successful names from the film industry offer the benefit of their experiences with crowdfunding, with talks from Oscar-winning producer Susan MacLaury (Inocente), Lizzie Gillett (The Age Of Stupid), Mia Bays (Borrowed Time) and Jeanie Finlay (The Great Hip Hop Hoax).
Event description
This event covers the principles of best practice when seeking crowdfunding. The keynote speech will be provided by Danae Ringelmann, founder of Indiegogo, the crowdfunding platform initially established specifically to fund new films, but which has since expanded into funding numerous projects in the arts, technology, and charity work.
Other experts will describe their personal experience with crowdfunding models and the lessons they learned from the process. Hosted by Time Out film editor Dave Calhoun, other speakers on the day include film-maker Jeanie Finlay, who will discuss the four crowdfunding campaigns she ran to fund the production and distribution of Sound it Out, which is now an innovation case study for the BFI, Susan MacLaury, producer of the Oscar-winning documentary Inocente, who will be skyping in live from New York, Lizzie Gillett, producer of blockbuster crowdfunded documentary The Age Of Stupid, and Mia Bays, creative producer of the successful UK microbudget scheme Microwave, which made Borrowed Time, the marketing campaign for which was crowdfunded.
This event is for you if…
You're a film-maker seeking alternative financing to pay for the filming, production or marketing of a new or completed work. While the focus of the event is on crowdfunding for film-makers, many of the principles being discussed will also benefit anyone interested in crowdfunding projects in any other field.

The James Medford Family Event Center at Piedmont Technical College welcomed more than 325 Piedmont Technical College graduates for two commencement ceremonies to celebrate their accomplishments.
Dr. Ray Brooks, president, welcomed graduates, family and guests to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduates.
Piedmont Technical College President Dr. Ray Brooks has announced that Dr. Jack Bagwell has joined the college as the vice president for academic affairs.
Bagwell is a graduate of Winthrop University, where he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in biology. He earned his doctorate in educational studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2010.
Piedmont Technical College will be holding two summer commencement exercises on August 7.
As the Class of 2014 celebrated their graduation from high school, 10 students from Ninety Six High School and McCormick High School were also earning an Associate in Arts degree from Piedmont Technical College. The students – five from Ninety Six and five from McCormick – were enrolled in the Piedmont Middle College.
Piedmont Technical College recently received a generous donation as part of the funds raised through the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation Women's Health Charity Classic. The $40,000 presented to the Foundation was a portion of the $250,000 raised from the tournament to help nonprofit organizations in the seven-county area who provide services for women.
Students looking to enroll in the Piedmont Technical College respiratory care program will notice changes for the fall semester. The curriculum has been revised to better accommodate the advances in the health care system and to streamline the path of students in the program.
Piedmont Technical College students who had outstanding academic accomplishments during the 2014 spring semester have earned inclusion on the President's List. To be named to the list, students must be full time and earn a term GPA of 4.00. Students will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the college president.
President's List students include:
Piedmont Technical College was recently chosen to join the Plus 50 Encore Completion Program, a national effort to train 10,000 baby boomers for new jobs in health care, education and social services. The program is sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).
The college will be offering informational workshops to help baby boomers chart their next steps including enrolling in one of the 13 health science and nursing programs available at Piedmont Tech.
Scholarships were presented to students and donors were recognized at the recent scholarship luncheon.
Piedmont Technical College's spring 2014 senior associate degree nursing (ADN) class recently sponsored a health fair to benefit the students and faculty at Ninety Six Elementary School. The project is part of the Nursing Management and Leadership course for ADN students.
"Volunteering and community service are a big part of the nursing field," said Tara Harris, dean of nursing at PTC. "It also helps to create leaders."

- Mount Madonna School Mission, Values and Philosophy Mount Madonna School Mission We are a community of learners. We support our students to become caring, self-aware and articulate critical thinkers, who are prepared to meet challenges with perseverance, creativity and integrity. We believe that a meaningful life is characterized by personal achievement and the ability to work effectively with others in service to society. We Value: Academic achievement made visible by a personal commitment to learning that balances both comprehensive understanding and in-depth inquiry in multiple disciplines. The integration of intellectual, emotional, social and creative learning. A learning environment that encourages meaningful relationships based on self-acceptance, empathy, respectful and honest communication. The transformative power of immersion in the creative process that includes cognitive learning, teamwork, direct experience, reflection and mutual appreciation. A close relationship with nature that inspires experiential learning, a commitment to environmental stewardship and a sense of well-being. Mount Madonna School Philosophy We pursue our mission and values through the integration of Academic Excellence, Creative Self-Expression and Positive Character Development. This integration brings depth, meaning and enthusiasm to learning. Academic Excellence We offer a well-rounded academic program that meets the highest standards of college preparedness. Our multi-faceted curriculum is based on the development of: Cognitive learning including critical reading, writing and speaking skills, scientific and mathematical investigation, research and problem solving. Experiential learning including outdoor education, performances, life labs, service learning, interviews, domestic and international travel. Reflective learning including self-inquiry, journaling, dialogue, presentations, collective problem solving and creative projects. These learning processes engage students, encouraging curiosity, building self-confidence and supporting the discovery of their gifts and talents. Creative Self-Expression We integrate creative arts and academic pursuits with the belief that each enriches the other. Creative self-expression is part of all academic coursework. Experiencing the creative process allows students to overcome perceived limitations and opens the possibility for intuitive intelligence to emerge. All students study acting, voice, dance, fine arts, creative writing, and participate in performing arts. Our productions illuminate the value of the collaborative process where individual effort and a willingness to sacrifice for the greater whole result in an inspiring and fulfilling experience. The personal benefits of this creative process extend far beyond school into almost every facet of adult life. Positive Character Development We recognize that each student's character is influenced both by the explicit curriculum in our course offerings and the implicit curriculum expressed in the daily life and experience of our school community. In all that we do, we encourage our students to take responsibility, to practice self-discipline, exercise leadership, and to serve and care for one another. We focus on learning that brings forth thinking and discussions of ethical relevance. We strive to create opportunities for students to engage in open and honest communication through such programs as service learning, student governance, life skills classes and student guidance. We work closely with families and access a variety of professional resources to encourage a thoughtful exchange of ideas around the many issues that confront youth in our modern society. We encourage older students to mentor and care for younger students through school wide activities such as theater productions, buddy programs and athletic events. Our faculty and families are dedicated to positive values such as empathy, honesty, cooperation, fairness and kindness. Our Environment Mount Madonna School is located on 355 acres of forested mountaintop property overlooking the Monterey Bay. We are hosted by Mount Madonna Center, a community founded on the principles of yoga and dedicated to non-harming, self-development and service to society. The values of the Center and the beauty of the natural environment provide a supportive and inspirational context in which our learning community thrives.

We are so happy we overcame the distance and sent our daughter to this amazing school. This is our daughter's fourth year at Mount Madonna and she doesn't want to miss a day. There are some fantastic teachers that really know how to engage and encourage the kids to learn. I wish I could go to school here.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I have foolishly double booked this with the Whipsnade Zoo Stampede which is my daughter's preference obviously so if anyone is looking for a place please contact me - 3 places available
Looking forward to this!
A slightly tweaked route for this year, I see.
A shorter but steeper climb into Leek Wooton and a straighter run through the Kenilworth housing estate.
Looks set to be a warm one!
Highs of 24c according to the BBC website.
At least that's some sort of incentive to get it done as quickly as possible!
How did everyone get on?
I found that 'new' hill up to Leek Wooton much tougher than the old route.
Enjoyed the straighter line through the Kenilworth estates though.
First time ran it today. Really enjoyed it. The hills were tough but I kinda expected that.
Very well organised, my only comlaint would be the starting pens were not well displayed and by the time I realised I was about 20 mins too far forward it was to late.
Great support at the start and finish plus the bag transport and bus back was really slick.
I started right near the back, was a little disappointed at the finish seeing the clock, but got a nice suprise when I got my chip time later as it took much longer than I thought to cross the start!
The finish at the castle is very exciting, only thing is starting at the back I found it be be a pretty crowded race and was constantly trying to weave around people for most of the way
Apologise again to the lady who accused me of pushing her out of way just before the finish (at about 50 mins), this was completely unintentional. I had just had the same thing happen to me and was trying to get going again when it happened.
Met some very friendly people on way back to Leamington for my train who were local runners. MASSIVE thanks to the lady (Emma?) who paid for my bus fare as I had no idea it was exact change only and I only had £20!
First time running this race. Very much enjoyed the route, the buses back to the start, the baggage drop and was happy with my time. What I would say is the start seemed a tad unorganised. Before I knew it I was at the back, with no visible markings for my time I ended up constantly trying to move past runners who were standing in lines blocking the route. Maybe this is my fault for not going to the start line early enough!
Also, I was running with a team mate who had a very bad case of shin splints. There was no sign of any first aid after you crossed the line at the finish. However, I thouroughly enjoyed the run and will be returning!
I thought the new route was an improvement - particularly the last 2k which had far less twists and turns. Weather was perfect and support excellent. Appreciated having three water stations as well.
Last 250m was very congested and it was almost impossible to sprint. Not helped by groups of runners holding hands so that they could cross the line together!
Noted comment re first aid after line , On duty in castle were a GP and two paramedics we also had St John ambulance there as well . I think the thing to say is please ask a marshall if you need help .to direct you to nearest facilty you were never more than 40 yards from help .

A/C behavior during power hits
We had that wonderful east coast monster line of storms blow through our area Friday night. We're very fortunate to have power and no damage.
Our Amana A/C unit is one year old. We had several quick power hits during the storm front, during which the air conditioner was running. I noticed that, even though the blower and the outside unit fan were both running, there was no cool air coming out of our ducts. However, about 20-30 minutes later, the system started cooling again, and has worked fine ever since.
Is there some sort of compressor safety circuit that shuts it off if there are power hits like that? Just curious....
if the compressor had short cycled it may have not started and tripped the internal overload. After it reset it may be fine now.
I ended up placing a timer controller on the lv side of my A/c unit outside, and set for about 30-45 sec's, so if it is a immediate trip, the unit will not start up right away.

Men's Soccer Kicks Off 2014 With First Practice
By: Joey Daniels (@GBJoeyD)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Beginning his first season leading the Green Bay men's soccer program, Marc Baumbach has high expectations and excitement entering the 2014 season. The team opened up the new season with a morning training session and will continue practicing twice a day until the season-opener.
A conditioning test of extreme efforts started the new season for the Phoenix, with the players working together as a team and encouraging one another on to successfully complete the challenging fitness course. A total of 40 minutes of running and sprinting kicked off the new season, but Baumbach still enjoyed what he saw in the morning session.
"The guys came out today and worked really hard. They really got after it. We set a good standard for what to expect this season. They've been a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to each and every session we have." Baumbach said.
The team returns seven of the nine players to record a point in 2013, but said goodbye to two of the top three in that category. Back in the Phoenix green will be a pair of All-League performers in Lawrence Talery (Cood Rapids, Minn.) and Audi Jepson (Green Bay, Wis.), who will be relied upon to produce this season.
The first scrimmage of the season for the Phoenix will come on Thursday, Sept. 21, at home against St. Thomas with kickoff slated for 3 p.m. That will give the squad eight days of practice and training before they take the field for their first full contest.
"The quality of work ethic we put forward in all of our meetings and attention to detail has been top notch here early. As we move along in the preseason and really get to know one another, I think we'll see a lot of good things come out of this year's team," Baumbach said.
Last season was highlighted by the team earning the Chancellor's Cup back from Milwaukee, who the Phoenix will face at home this season on Wednesday, Oct. 1. That match will also serve as the Horizon League opener in 2014.
Green Bay will open the 2014 season at home against Grand Canyon on Friday, Aug. 29, and will follow that match against DePaul back at Santaga Stadium on Monday, Sept. 1.

When this came in my Birchbox, I thought, "you've got to be kidding me." I really didn't want any patchouli on me. However, I do love the smell of bergamot, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.
It smells so wonderful. It's strong enough to have staying power, but not too strong that makes it smell as if you're wearing a ton of perfume. Also, a lot of perfumes are either super citrusy and I feel like I'm a 17 year old, or super musky, and I feel like I'm a 64 year old. This was a nice smell that was neither.
I also have had several guys hit on me this week, which may or may not be due to this perfume. I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there.

Going back to the band is so inspiring
Date published: 29 July 2014
RETURNING to lead iconic Oldham band the Inspiral Carpets after more than two decades away has just 'felt right' for vocalist Stephen Holt.
Raised in Chadderton, Holt was the Carpets' lead singer during their formative years, but left in 1989 – to be replaced by Tom Hingley — just prior to the band's early 90s 'Madchester' commercial success which led to 13 top 40 singles and four massively acclaimed albums, the most successful of which — "Life" — reached number two in the album charts.
Hingley officially departed at the turn of the current decade, Holt returned in 2011, and now, following three years of dragging themselves slowly back into the limelight, the resurgent Carpets release a new single — "Spitfire" — next month, a 12-track self-titled album in September, before heading out on a nationwide tour in December.
The Carpets are definitely back in business right now, but unsurprisingly founder-member (with Graham Lambert) Holt clearly feels a degree of disappointment having missed so many good times — particularly in the 90s.
Holt said: "Getting back with the band just felt right really.
"The other lads have just made it so easy for me since I returned in 2011.
"It's been like being with your best mates again."
"It is really exciting at the moment," added Holt.
"There's been lots of gigs this year, festivals, the new single is coming out soon, and there's the album to follow in September.
"We all think that sounds brilliant.
"We're on the up again. The word seems to be out there that we're playing again and it's great.
"I think a few people were a bit sceptical when I first came back because The Inspiral Carpets' December UK tour starts on the 4th in Portsmouth, and takes them to Cardiff, Sheffield, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Glasgow, Leeds, Nottingham and London, before rounding off in Preston on the 21st.
The band play Manchester's Ritz on the 19th, and are hoping to double up on the 20th, though that date hasn't yet been confirmed.

Adam Lambert Scores First Number One Album & Makes The Record Books!
Adam Lambert's Trespassing rose above the competition to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 this week. The singer's second album sold 77,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, putting him 14,000 ahead of Adele's 21 for the week and 23,000 ahead of the No. 3 album, Carrie Underwood's Blown Away.
Trespassing also topped the Billboard Digital Albums Chart and Canada's Digital Albums Chart. Adam's debut, For Your Entertainment, debuted at No. 3 in November 2009, selling 198,000 copies.
Just as importantly, this album made the record books as well. He's become the first out male artist to have a #1 album. Other gay performers such as Elton John and George Michael made it to the top of the charts, but only prior to coming out.
Hugs to Adam and his amazing fans for making this happen!

WATCH: Social Media Critics Weigh In On New Kmart Boxer Ad
(Undated) -- Kmart is pushing the envelope again with another racy new ad.
The latest commercial features boxer-clad men jiggling their boxers to the tune of "Jingle Bells." The ad, which promotes Joe Boxer's holiday line of underwear, has prompted commentary on social media. Some call the ad tacky and distasteful.
Others describe it as hilarious. Kmart, which stirred controversy with its "Ship My Pants" ad earlier this year, responded to the latest comments calling the new commercial "a playful take on spreading holiday cheer."
The retailer also offered regrets to anyone who found it objectionable.

Project is not dense enough or land is too steep
Project on Indiana St. on edge of Florida Canyon opposed by neighbors
Dorian Hargrove 9:31 p.m., May 23
(Page 2 of 2)
continued Another who expressed opposition to underfunding, then caved in, is the former outside attorney for the pension system, San Francisco's Robert Blum. The city, following Conger's lead, filed suit against Blum for giving bad advice. Although all details have not been worked out in court, Blum will settle for the amount of his insurance. After legal expenses, the city should get about $11 million, says Conger.
But why did both outside actuary Roeder and outside lawyer Blum go against their earlier disapprovals? "We should try to find out who twisted their arms," says Shipione. She objects to the Blum settlement. "What happened between June of 2002 and November of 2002 that caused Blum to eliminate from his letter to the retirement system about 45 reasons why not to do the [underfunding]?" she asks. "It appears there was a great motivation to settle with Blum so that no discovery would be done, no depositions would be taken, questions like that would not be answered."
Outsiders knowing inside dirt get special treatment.

Steamboat Springs The owner of a house in the Tree Haus subdivision that caught fire June 3 plans to rebuild it right away.
Gary Krueger said Thursday that insurance officials investigated the fire this week. He wouldn't give a dollar amount of the damage, but he said it was "a big loss." Most of the damage to the 2,400-square-foot house was to the south-side wall, from the roof through three floors to the garage.
A Fox Construction company truck and a large dumpster were at the house Thursday and crews were tearing down the charred portion.
Krueger said he was touched by the community's assistance, especially the response of Steamboat firefighters.
"These guys saved 98 percent of my personal property my paintings and most of my furniture," Krueger said. "They moved everything in the middle of the room and covered it with tarps to prevent water damage."
Krueger said neighbors such as Steve Elkins made sure no one was inside the house and tried to fight the fire with garden hoses.
"Steve jumped over and tried to use hoses, but the fire started right where my spigot is, so no one could get to it," Krueger said.
Krueger and his wife, Nancy, bought the house on William William Road in 1998. He said they've been property owners in the Steamboat area since 1992 and visit several times a year. The Kruegers live in San Diego, Calif., and local resident Bill Pyle looks after the house for them between visits.
"Bill was there that day and there was nothing wrong with the house," Krueger said.
Sheriff's investigator Rachelle Redmond said the cause of the fire has not been determined yet. She said she has several more people to interview and she is waiting on lab results to come back on items collected from the scene.

Civic Hall heritage - Ballarat's conundrum
June 10, 2010 , 1:23 PM by Prue Bentley
The fate of the Civic Hall is sealed.
Ballarat City Council has voted to demolish the building, built in 1956, to make way for new development.
The question of what to do with the Civic Hall has remained unanswered for almost a decade and over that time the debate has raged over what to do with it.
Dr Ann Begg-Smith, Chair of Ballarat Heritage Watch describes the Civic Hall as an example of modernist architecture in the stripped classical design and it's the only example of its type in Ballarat.
In terms of its official heritage status, reports in the past have concluded the building is of significant local importance.
Dr Beggs-Sunter says she doesn't agree with the decision to demolish the Civic Hall and has been calling for an adaptive re-use of the site into a tourist information centre.
We had a lot of calls and texts from listeners to the Morning Show on this issue. Many think we have become too quick to decry the building's heritage value, particularly because it's not part of the Victorian style the town is famous for.
James from Snake Valley called to say he thinks it's crazy to put the Ballarat information centre on the highway or out of town. ITo him the Civic Hall is a natural fit to encourage both driving and non-driving visitors.
Chris in Maldon thinks that this could lead to something ugly being built in its place. Chris sees developments like Federation Square in Melbourne as the sort of eyesore that often comes after a perfectly good building has been demolished.
We had a number of listeners bring up the issue of environmental waste. One text message had this to say:
"Has anybody even considered or been consulted about the embodied energy that would be destroyed & expended? Don't they like DECO?!? Not much left here!"
Others thought we should stop worrying and get on with progress:
"Buildings of local significance are often demolished with a permit. Ballarat must move on from the heritage mafia and get into the new millenium. One heritage expert says demolish on says retain? Let the council move on."
Shiree from Snake Valley suggested an arts hub:
"Knocking it ovr lacks creativity innovation and environmental considerations. Do it up and make it a creative hub like abbotsfrd convent. Some council staff, artists and arts events undr one roof!"
The Ballarat City Council is taking community submissions on the development.

New 318 Poly Roller Rockers!!
I began emailing Big Daddy Don at Racer Brown a while back to see if I could get 'em to make roller rockers for my beloved 318 Poly.. I got a response yesterday and thought I'd pass it on.
Yeah, yeah, I know - they're expensive, but they're cool. And all Don needs is 10 guys to pre-order to get things rolling. Here's the email I got (below). You can order directly from him if you're interested... I'm not even marking them up or acting like it was all my idea or anything, or even making a profit off of 'em - my goal here was just to make the best roller rockers for the Poly a reality (and they are ******). If you want 'em, you can go directly to Don and he'll fix you up.
Here's that email (below):
"Gary and I looked at it and decided it could be done.
It will take a huge investment in programming time and we don't mind making
the investment as long as we have guaranteed sales to cover the initial
set-up and tooling costs.
To set-up and run 10 sets will cost $800 per set, including Smith Brothers
Check with your community and see if there's 10 guy's willing to place an
order with a 50% deposit, we will accept orders August 1st with a projected
delivery within 90 days if we don't run into any snags along the way. We'll
start the project as soon as all orders are received.
Future orders will require a 30 day lead time.

NEW YORK, Thursday—A group of very good actors in a little second-floor theater, with homemade costumes and no scenery, are doing a play called "Sojourner Truth," written by Katherine Garrison Chapin—in private life, Mrs. Francis Biddle. Last night I went to Harlem to see a special performance in this theater, and I came away with the feeling that I had heard some really fine writing spoken in the way it should be spoken. In this play, things are said that need to be said, and they have a bearing on the world of today though they were written about a woman who lived many years ago and who did much to arouse the conscience of New York against slavery.
Muriel Smith, who plays the part of Sojourner Truth, has a beautiful voice both in speaking and in singing, and I think she is a really fine actress. Many of the men impressed me also. I wish that someone able to produce this play as it should be produced could take hold of it and put it on Broadway. Maybe few people would go to see it but maybe many would go, and I think they would come away feeling that, in spite of all the discouragement some of us feel at times, we really are a little nearer to the day "when men can look at each other as brothers."

Yesterday I did a short recording for the United Nations Appeal for Children. Some countries have finished their drives and raised their quotas. Iceland reports proudly that every person on the island has sent in a contribution.
Our goal in this country is a big one, and the fund is being raised in collaboration with other overseas relief agencies—which I think makes it a little more difficult for people to concentrate on the fact that this is the means by which we can keep millions of children from starving to death all over the world.
It is not a question of big subscriptions. It is a question of everybody in every community sending at least something to the local or national committee. I think you will find that there is hardly a community in the country that does not have a committee raising funds in this drive for the benefit of needy children everywhere. Forty nations have national committees and there is a hope that, before the drive closes, fifty nations will have conducted campaigns.
The measure of what we can do for children in food and medical supplies is dependent on how many people give—it is the volume of giving that will count more than the large, individual gifts. If every adult in the country gave a dollar and if every child gave ten cents, we would be many times over our quota. The slogan, of course, is "Give a day's pay," but the important thing is to organize your entire neighborhood and see that everyone knows of this need to help the children of the world, so that everyone participates.

Wow, that's pretty disheartening to say the least. I just heard about Pentagon lights the other day through the posts here. I was looking at the different LED models this morning and pondering.
I'm really curious if your's is an isolated incident of a lemon slipping through QC or if it's a more widespread problem. I'd already decided to avoid their batteries based on Betty's "exploding Nitrolon" thread, think I'll stick with Surefire and be happy.

Editor's Note: Back by popular demand. Coming off another historic season which featured the program's record-14th consecutive regular season Horizon League championship, as always there is a lot of anticipation for the next season in Green Bay women's basketball. Every Thursday throughout the summer, Assistant Director of Athletics Communications Jill Wunrow will sit down with one player to talk about the expectations they have for themselves for the upcoming season and what fans can expect to see from them individually. This week we catch up with redshirt freshman Ellen Edison who is looking forward to putting on a Green Bay uniform after suffering a knee injury.
Redshirt Freshman, Ellen Edison (Maple Grove, Minn.), 5'9", G
How excited are you to have the opportunity to step on the floor and compete this year as soon as you've been cleared from your ACL injury?
"I could not be more excited to get on the floor. Through watching from the sidelines last year I've built up a lot of excitement and eagerness to play with my teammates."
What have you learned throughout the past year being on the sidelines?
"I've learned a lot about our team as a cohesive unit, whether that's on the offensive or defensive side of the ball as well as leadership styles and personalities off the court. I also think I've learned how important it is to not put my identity only into basketball because injuries happen all the time."
You have the honor of playing for coach Borseth this season. Does that make you nervous knowing he wasn't the coach who recruited you or are you excited?
"I'm not as much nervous as I am excited. Growing up I always loved trying out for teams and there is something exciting about first impressions, especially after coming back from an injury."
What have you seen from coach Borseth during the little time you've gotten to work with him and what excites you about him being your coach?
"Without a doubt, his energy. He has a positive energy about him that you can't help but want to do well and play hard for him and your teammates."
What do you expect your role to be this season and how will you go about fulfilling that role the best you can?
"With hard work, I hope to come off the bench and bring tough defense and hit some shots. In order to do that I need to get my legs in top shape and continue to push myself in August and throughout the season."
What are your goals for the 2012-13 season?
"First and foremost, I want to feel confident playing alongside my teammates, and after that, just play to my potential regardless of my injury. I already had to sit out last year because of something I couldn't control; I don't want to be in the same situation because I wasn't working hard enough."
What do you feel will be your biggest challenge this season after being absent a season from practice and competition?
"I think my biggest challenge is going to be the physical aspect of the game. My teammates are strong and fast and I'm going to try my hardest to match that."
What will it be like for you to step on the floor for the first time in a Green Bay uniform?
"Being a Division I at Green Bay will finally feel real. Sure, I was a part of the team last season but it pained me to watch and not be able to play. Butterflies are definitely in order."
Having the role of being an observer and cheerleader while doing rehab on the sidelines last season, what can and will you bring to the team this season on the court?
"I'd like to bring a competitive spirit, hit some shots and play tough defense all while being the best team player I can be."
Should you have any free time during the summer months, what do you typically spend your day doing?
"Being a Minnesotan I love to go to the lake and go fishing don't chyah know? Seriously thought, I like to spend time with my family, friends and boyfriend I rarely get to see. I also like to dabble in some artwork I don't have much time for during the school year."
Favorite ice cream or summer treat and why?
"Nothing beats my mom's fresh cut fruit salad because it is refreshing during these hot summers."

5GB With Gretchen Peters; Playing Eddie's Attic, Tonight May 4th
Gretchen Peters is no stranger to the music scene. As a songwriter, she has composed hits for Martina McBride, Etta James, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, George Strait, Anne Murray, as well as for rock singers Neil Diamond and co-writing songs with Bryan Adams. She also won the Country Music Association Song Of The Year award for McBride's "Independence Day" in 1995. vIn addition, Peters has released seven studio albums of her own. The title track of her 1996 debut album The Secret of Life was later recorded by Faith Hill in 1999, for whom it was a Top 5 country hit. This Grammy-nominated songwriter joined us for our 5GB series before her show tonight at Eddie's Attic.
What's the first gig you ever attended?
My mom gave me and my big sister tickets to a Grateful Dead concert in Boulder, Colorado. I was 13. I don't think she had any idea what went on at a Grateful Dead Concert, but it changed my life. It was an incredible scene.
What is the best gig that you ever played/performed?
Our show in London this past March was right up there, maybe at the top. It was sold out, packed to the rafters, and the Hello Cruel World album was #1 on the UK country chart, so there was this incredible energy there. Sometimes audiences in the UK can be reserved, but this was one of the warmest, most enthusiastic crowds I've ever played for. We felt like we could do no wrong. They were pin-drop quiet for the ballads, but at the end they wouldn't let us leave. Two ear-splitting standing O's – I wish they could all be like that!
What is the best gig you have ever seen?
Rickie Lee Jones on her very first tour. I saw her in Denver at the Rainbow Music Hall in 1979. It was utterly different than anything I'd seen before. Her sense of drama, from the lighting, to the pacing of the show, to her delivery of the songs themselves, was stunning. She was the bridge between two musical archetypes that I had previously seen as completely unconnected: the singer-songwriter and the jazz singer. I was strongly influenced by both, but until I discovered her I couldn't reconcile them.
Gig you would most like to play?
The first thing that comes to mind is Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble, which, sadly, won't ever happen. That gig always seemed to me to be about the right things: the purity of the impulse to make music, the joy, the improvisation, the collaboration. All the things Levon embodied. I would have loved to have been there for one.
What would be the lineup for your dream gig?
Leonard Cohen headlining. Me opening. It would be a huge honor to play my songs for his audience, and then be able to enjoy my post-show glass of wine while listening to the greatest living songwriter weave his spell!

In resource-limited settings where tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality among HIV patients and where a multidrug-resistant TB epidemic is emerging, researchers are pressing for approaches to integrate TB prevention and treatment into HIV care and treatment.
"HIV programs have no option but to address TB vigorously to save patient lives, safeguard the massive investment in HIV treatment, and to curb the global TB burden," said Diane V. Havlir, MD, chief of UCSF's HIV/AIDS Division at San Francisco General Hospital's Positive Health Program and lead author of a special communication.
The authors propose several strategic approaches to reduce TB burden for HIV care and treatment programs. They include:
One highly recommended measure is intensified TB case finding. The most effective TB control measure is finding and promptly treating TB, according to the authors. Patients with HIV who are undergoing care should be screened for TB along with members of their household, and the HIV patients who have active TB should be treated for this disease within the HIV program. The authors note that because TB may be the disease that brings an HIV patient into care and there are many more clinics for TB than HIV, HIV patients with active TB often are treated in TB clinics and later referred to an HIV program.
The authors emphasize that TB infection control measures should be implemented in both outpatient and inpatient HIV care facilities so that TB is not transmitted in these settings. TB should be recorded and reported to national TB programs by HIV programs to ensure effective tracking of the TB epidemic, and there should be joint HIV and TB planning, they add.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases provided funding for the study.
