Volleyball: BIIF teams to get a sneak preview in preseason event
It wasn't too long ago that Waiakea was a powerhouse in Big Island Interscholastic Federation girls volleyball, relying on defense and ball-control to consistently beat taller or harder-hitting teams.
The Warriors last won consecutive BIIF titles in 2008 and '09 when Chelsey Buyuan shined as a defensive back-row wizard, who happened to double as a versatile shot-making outside hitting threat.
The road to the BIIF championship still runs through Kamehameha, the four-time defending champion, which returns a bulk of its firepower, including seniors Kaiulani Ahuna, Zoe Leonard and Harley Woolsey.
However, for the first time in a while, the second spot to the Hawaii High School Athletic Association Division I state tournament is wide open.
That's because of all the league's Division I teams (Kamehameha, Hilo, Kealakehe Keaau, and Waiakea), the Vikings took the biggest graduation hit, losing four senior starters.
Hilo has been to states the past three seasons. Waiakea last qualified in 2010. That's the musical chairs spotlight to watch for the BIIF season, which starts Tuesday, Aug. 26.
For a sneak preview, there's the 2nd annual Waiakea Invitational. But the old rivals don't meet in the first round, maybe only in pool play, which runs Friday.
Drawing on her philosophy that defense is the key to an offense's engine, second-year Waiakea coach Ashley Hanohano touts her back-row people.
"Kayla Kahauolopua is a very talented freshman," she said. "We've got another defensive specialist freshman in Jordyn Hayashi. Casi Gacusana, a junior, moved up from the junior varsity. Our younger girls have been very impressive.
"We've got a great group of girls. They're mentally, physically tough. They've got the team mentality and positive attitude. That's what we look for. We'll have a great defensive team this year."
That's nice, but people don't pay a lot of dough to watch LeBron James play defense. NBA fans love to see offensive highlights, same thing with BIIF volleyball.
"I don't know who'll give us offense right now," Hanohano said. "Defense comes first and offense will fall into place. We'll have a big block from our middles, and a big block on the wings. Everyone is 5 feet 8 and above."
Hanohano doesn't need to detail what Kadara Marshall, a 5-9 junior middle, can do. When the athletic Warrior jumps and flashes her arm swing, her actions speak louder than words.
Monique Apuakehau, a 5-9 senior, will hold down the other middle spot. She and Marshall received All-BIIF honorable mention last season.
Alison Fuata, a 5-9 senior, will take swings at outside hitter. Like Marshall, she played soccer at Waiakea, but didn't play volleyball last year.
Fuata, who previously played volleyball at St. Joseph, can pound balls. As a sophomore, she got honorable mention in 2011 in a talent-packed year. Eight players signed to play college ball, including player of the year and Ka'u middle Marley Strand-Nicolaisen at UH-Hilo.
Senior Kylee Ancheta and sophomore Taniah Ayap will see time at setter. Hi'ilei Ishii-Chaves, a 5-10 junior, will attack from the right side, and juniors Cierra Toledo-Muragin and Lindsey Maikui and senior Tiani Teanio will take swings at outside hitter.
Ayap, Ishii-Chaves, and Maikui also received All-BIIF honorable mention last season.
"I love defense, and I've always believed that defense wins games," said Hanohano, who then pointed out the obvious. "But offense definitely sells tickets."
Well then, BIIF fans are in for a treat because three of the league's top shot-making outside hitters will be in the tournament: Kamehameha's Ahuna, known for her package of shots; Konawaena junior Chanelle Molina, blessed with an abundance of athleticism and determination; and Hawaii Prep senior Gabbie Ewing, whose soccer-skill court vision translates to her versatile hitting.
Family tree
Hanohano's coaching staff is loaded with family. There's her mom Rachelle, an administrative assistant; dad Tommy, sister Chelbie, a recent graduate of Quincy (Ill.) University, and cousin Chad Hanohano as assistants.
Jazmin Pa'akaula, Jodi Kalawe, Lovey Aiana-Mauga, and local volleyball icon Lyndell Lindsey are also assistants.
Ashley Hanohano, Pa'akaula and Lindsey Lee (now an assistant at Rutgers) are 2004 St. Joseph graduates, and a part of BIIF history.
They all signed scholarships to play ball at Fairfield (Conn.) University, the first time three players from the same school went to a Division I college.
Sarah Mason was a year older at St. Joe. The 2003 graduate signed with Oregon then transferred to UH.
She's a flight attendant for Hawaiian Airlines, and like her volleyball sisters will join the high school coaching ranks.
"Sarah's back on Oahu and will coach high school," Hanohano said. "Kuuipo Hayes (another St. Joe grad) is at Hilo High. Precious Salazar is at Pahoa."
In a three degrees of Kevin Bacon connection, Salazar didn't go to St. Joe. She was the BIIF player of the year in 2006 for Kamehameha.
However, her coach back then was Tammy Lee, whose daughter is Lindsey Lee.
"I'm super proud and happy that our generation has gone from players to coaches," Hanohano said. "It's wonderful to give back to the community."

Degree Level
This qualitative study explored offenders' work experiences outside of prison and in-prison, and then compared these experiences to their post-release work experiences and outcomes. The subjects' criminal histories varied, but during the study's initial interview all were incarcerated at lower security level facilities in a western state. Several different types of in-prison employment were compared; these differences included the type of task, the skill level, the work-site, and the beneficiary of the labor. Outcomes were classified according to work measures, and whether the subjects had been reincarcerated within six months of their release. The pre-prison findings suggested that the skill level of the work which the subjects' held affected their commitment to their jobs. However, the data also showed that substance abuse derailed the subjects, regardless of their commitment to their jobs. The in-prison findings revealed important differences between work programs, showed that the quality of the job is affected by intrinsic rewards, and that different types of intrinsic rewards foster different perspectives. In one of the work programs the subjects worked with state forestry employees, performing land clearing, work on structures, prescribed burns, and wild-land firefighting. This program produced character-changing results, including increases in self-esteem, recognition of personal agency, increased sense of responsibility, and pride in their work. The subjects who participated in the forestry work program also were the least likely to have been reincarcerated within six months of their release. The subjects reported that they encountered many obstacles upon their release from prison; some of the obstacles were directly due to their ex-prisoner status, such as stigma and parole restrictions. However, subjects who had strengths, such as overcoming substance abuse, positive social connections, and positive attitudes, appeared to have overcome the obstacles. These strengthening factors closely resembled the perspectives which the forestry subjects had adopted. These findings suggest that certain types of in-prison work can be rehabilitative, and that prison can be an effective arena in which to implement character-changing work-based programs.

A Craft Experience
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
At the sewing machine since the age of 10, designing and sewing Barbie Doll Clothes and working with all manner of needlework, Forshia has always loved the artistic medium. She designed and made her own clothes through school and sewed for others. Trying her hand in all kinds of art; from drawing, watercolors, and oils to bead-work, pottery, woodwork, and leather, fabrics is her choice of medium. She pursued a career as a fashion designer in college, but left to raise her children when she was introduced to the Lord.
Never would Forshia have believed that God would use these artistic and creative gifts to lead people to a knowledge of Him. But indeed He has. God has given Forshia a unique gift of revealing the truth of the Bible using her crafts as corresponding illustrations. Always sensing inspiration when designing, she sees God's handiwork in her handiwork.
As Jesus used visual examples to bring understanding and clarity to His teachings, so does Forshia. Creative, inspiring, and visual, she causes the complexities of Biblical truth to give you those 'aha' moments. And...always feeling we all have a creative streak in us, she uses the second session to teach the audience how to make the very craft from which she teaches. A great outreach potential.

text: AJHP conference panel will take a fresh look at diverse models to engage workers MINNEAPOLIS, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Workplace health management programs work very well—for those who take advantage of them. Engaging more employees in these programs designed to help identify and then reduce health risks for a population is at the heart of a panel this week moderated by HealthFitness' Chief Medical and Wellness Officer Dennis Richling, M.D., at the Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference at Hilton Head Island, S.C. The panel, "Bridging Behaviorism: A New Approach to Engagement," will take place March 21 at 11 a.m. and features a structured discussion on behavior change approaches that are usually at theoretical odds in the health management industry. Joining Richling on the panel will be Edward Framer, Ph.D., director of health and behavioral sciences for HealthFitness, and Fred Hanna, Ph.D., professor of counselor education, University of Northern Colorado and author of the book, Therapy with difficult clients: Using the precursors model to awaken change. Follow the hashtag #AJHP2013 for insights from this session and join in the conversation. "Two different models of engagement for behavior change dominate today's population health management landscape, but both have strengths that can be applied to helping individuals take health improvement steps," Richling said. "By identifying common ground and distinctives of each approach, we can come to a unified framework for better participant engagement. And the more people who engage in these programs, the greater the benefit for employers—better population health, higher employee retention and satisfaction, and improved productivity." Employers have embraced worksite health management as a means to enhance productivity and reduce health care costs; between 60 and 83 percent of employers offer some form of health management initiative. Participation varies widely across different types of programs and vendors, but a 2012 meta-analysis of programs pegs the typical participation rate in employer-based health management programs at 20 percent. Richling and his colleagues believe that a science-based approach, utilizing the best applications for motivation, involvement and perseverance in health promotion activities, has the potential to double or triple that level of engagement.

Hot Tips to Stay Cool
Memorial Day weekend signifies the unofficial start of summer, and in many parts of the country, the arrival of hot weather. According to National Weather Service, heat is one of the leading weather-related killers in the United States. And, the number of heat waves has been on the rise in recent years – the recently released National Climate Assessment found that the number of intense heat waves in 2011 and 2012 were almost triple the long-term average. Heat waves can be particularly brutal in cities, where the surface temperatures of roofs and pavement can be from 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the air temperature on hot sunny days. These hot surfaces contribute to urban heat islands where temperatures in cities are hotter than surrounding, less developed areas. Hot weather and heat waves have a number of impacts, including increased energy use for air conditioning, increased emissions of air pollutants and impacts on human health.
Viewer Tip: May 23 is Heat Awareness Day. This is the perfect time of year to brush up on tips to keep yourself, family members and friends healthy during hot weather. Remember that infants and young children, people 65 years and older, people who are overweight, and people who are sick or use certain medications are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.
National Weather Service issues Excessive Heat Outlooks, Excessive Heat Watches and Excessive Heat Warnings/Advisories to help you stay informed. Learn about these alerts and get more information about heat-related illness and preparedness.

Sampson Mountain Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Sampson Mountain Wilderness (map) in 1986 and it now has a total of 7,960 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Tennessee and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe five clear, swift, rocky streams that course through this Wilderness, which drain secluded hollows shadowed by steep and open ridges, plunge over several waterfalls, some of them dramatic cascades. Buckeye Falls drops 475 feet, reputedly more than any other waterfall in the eastern United States. A heavy forest cover of pine and hardwoods includes 536 acres of old growth that has been flourishing for more than a century. Wildflowers proliferate, and flowering shrubs include laurel, rhododendron, and flame azalea. Trout fishing may be excellent in the streams, but if your line keeps coming up empty, you can always snack on native blueberries. Problem is, you have to share the sweet fruit with black bears, who live here in greater numbers than anywhere else north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Several trails crawl faintly up creek valleys until they gradually fade away altogether. Confusing old roadbeds appear and disappear just as suddenly, leading nowhere. None of the trails are well maintained. The Squibb Creek Trail, in the extreme western section, travels 2.2 miles up Squibb Creek to a picturesque waterfall where the path dead-ends. The East Fork of Cassi Creek Trail leads 3.4 miles after it branches off of the Cassi Creek Trail (2.5 miles) to dead-end at Painter Creek Falls, a lovely cascading drop of approximately 200 feet. This could be your best opportunity to wander in solitude in a Tennessee Wilderness. Sampson Mountain, which peaks at 4,060 feet, anchors the Wilderness.

Skip to comments.Russia: An Icon of the Virgin Mary Goes Into Space
Posted on 11/17/2011 7:38:09 PM PST by marshmallow
A new crew has arrived at Moscows space station. The whole world can now see the image of Our Lady of Kazan which had been entrusted to Patriarch Kyrill
Spiritual mission accomplished. Last March, the image of Our Lady of Kazan, which is one of the most venerated Russian Orthodox icons, was donated by the Patriarch of Moscow, Kyrill, to the then director of the Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, Anatoly Perminov. I hope that the icon will be taken on board the space shuttle that will be launched to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first man in space, the religious leader said, referring to the Soyuz TMA-24 space flight. Shortly afterwards, on 30 March, the shuttle would fly to the International Space Station (ISS), conducted by the mythical Russian cosmonaut and pilot, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin. The Patriarch made mention of the astronauts, saying: As well as performing their complex and important duties, they will also embark on a spiritual mission with the icon.
As reported by the Asia News agency, on 16 November, while the world was celebrating the arrival of a new crew aboard the ISS and as the astronauts spoke about their experiences, two images were clearly displayed behind them: one of the first man to enter into Space, the Russian cosmonaut, Gagarin, and one of Our Lady of Kazan.
(Excerpt) Read more at vaticaninsider.lastampa.it ...
Has the Eucharist ever been in space?
This shows how deeply the Russians have embraced the Orthodox religion and turned their backs on atheistic Communism. It is a great day for all Christians in a time when Christians are facing suffering in many parts of the world.
I imagine the Muslims are not too happy about this.
Well, bully for Russia!
I was in Baikonur (Russian launch center in Kazakhstan) last year and visited the church that holds the icon that went into space previously. The church was built about 5 years ago - first Orthodox church ever in Baikonur (they tried to build one for like 20 years but the authorities wouldn't let it happen). The priests were relatively young and said that the church was well attended (althugh the Russian population of Baikonur is in steady decline).
NASA is now a Muslim outreach program and Russia promotes Christianity in space. Never thought I'd see the day. The article does make a mental image of a dashboard saint on a spacecraft tho!
Don't worry, when they get around to it, they'll send a piece of their religion up there too. A bomb belt perhaps?
Islam will never 'get around to it'. These vermin have been regressing to the sixth century ever since Mohomo died. They will never make it to rocketry.
Russia - The third Rome?
The biggest difference is their complete lack of PC-based decay. The US has been so infected by this PC propaganda and glorification of stupidity that it's looking more like a terminal disease every day. If I look at any MSM, I want to vomit.
Russia has all the materials and potential to succeed. A true Russian Republic with strong influence by the church could end up as a new world leader.
(Oops, the site is being reconstructed. You'll have to come back in a week. Please remember to do this, it's wonderful and funny.)
In compensation, here's proof that the Roman Catholic Church is ordaining Extraterrestrial Space Aliens as priests:
Was it Our Lady of Fatima who was asking Catholics to pray for the conversion of Russia? Looks like all those millions of prayers over the last 90-some-odd years have been asnwered!
Legends say that in a dark age, when Europe has fallen away from Christ—The Third Rome (Russia) will come and save them for Christ—Orthodox Faith will dominate and the Roman Catholic Church bow to them. Or something like that.

What is the CoolSculpting Procedure?
The CoolSculpting procedure is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat1 that resists all efforts through diet and exercise.2 The results are proven, noticeable, and lasting3, so you'll look great from every angle.2
Freeze away fat4? It comes down to science. Knowing that fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues, CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin1. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), then die1. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead fat cells1, leaving a more sculpted you.2
Sit back, relax and say goodbye to stubborn fat. After you and your provider select the area(s) to be treated, the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied. During your procedure, feel free to read, check email, or even take a nap.

Reshape your body2. You can reduce fat on multiple areas of your body with the CoolSculpting procedure1, and additional sessions may further enhance your results2. Your provider will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored just for you.
The CoolSculpting fat freezing procedure is completely non-surgical4, so you can typically return to normal activities immediately2.
Get used to liking what you see2. In the weeks and months to follow, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead fat cells1.* Once the fat cells are gone, they're gone for good.1
Are you ready to love every view of you2? The sooner you set up your consultation, the sooner you'll see results in the mirror—long-term3 results in those areas that have resisted all efforts through diet and exercise2.

Your Questions, Answered
QUESTION: Am I a good candidate?
ANSWER: Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas they'd like to get rid of. The CoolSculpting fat reduction procedure is specifically designed for those who have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight loss solution for people who are obese. It is, however a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Request a one-on-one consultation with a CoolSculpting provider who will determine if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you..
QUESTION: How much does the CoolSculpting procedure cost?
ANSWER: The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. Create a customized treatment plan, in person, with your provider that's tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
QUESTION: How long is each session? How many sessions will I need?
ANSWER: Your CoolSculpting provider will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. You and your provider may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals.
QUESTION: Where does the fat go? Are the results permanent?
ANSWER: Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die1. Over time, the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells1. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they're gone for good1.
QUESTION: What does it feel like?
ANSWER: As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment.
QUESTION: Is the CoolSculpting procedure safe?
ANSWER: The CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank. With millions2 of CoolSculpting procedures performed worldwide, it is proven to be a safe and effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction2.
QUESTION: Are there any side effects?
ANSWER: During the procedure you may experience deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness or discomfort. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, or cold agglutinin disease. The CoolSculpting procedure is not a treatment for obesity. As with any medical procedure, ask your physician if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
QUESTION: Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?
ANSWER: Yes, you can. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately.3 Often times, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting session is over.
QUESTION: When will I see results?
ANSWER: You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after two months1. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continues doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.
QUESTION: Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?
ANSWER: No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their CoolSculpting treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew again by taking even better care of themselves.
QUESTION: What happens if I gain weight down the road?
ANSWER: Many people, after seeing the results from their CoolSculpting procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, your remaining fat cells1 may become enlarged throughout your body.

UOL Jogos (Dec 08, 2001)
Rogue Leader é o mais impressionante dos jogos de lançamento do GameCube. Se você é fã de Star Wars, nem sequer COGITE a possibilidade de não comprar esse jogo. A Força é forte nesse título.
contactmusic.com (May 16, 2002)
Rouge Squadron II displays many great features which all stand up on their own, these features all come together in complete harmony to provide a mind blowing experience. Rouge Squadron II oozes quality, Factor 5 have done a fantastic job of this game, just about everything is perfect and very highly polished. You may find the game short after finishing it, but you have to earn enough points to unlock all the bonus levels plus, to get those gold medals will take you a long time, you will have to experiment with all the extra ships available for all the levels in order to finish the game in full.
GamesCollection (Feb 07, 2009)
Riassumendo: una realizzazione tecnica perfetta, una decina di livelli sempre divertenti - a cui vanno ad aggiungersi alcuni extra e un making of del gioco - e l'atmosfera di Star Wars resa alla grande fanno di questo gioco un must have per i fan di Guerre Stellari provvisti di un GameCube (o, al limite, di un Wii..). I pochi difetti sono nella longevità (dieci livelli sono un po' pochi, anche se molto rigiocabili) e nella mancanza di una modalità multiplayer: poca roba, in confronto alla ricchezza complessiva dell'offerta...
Game Informer Magazine (Dec, 2001)
Rogue Leader best represents what the GameCube hardware is capable of. Whether it be the daunting size of a Star Destroyer that houses over 300,000 polygons within its body, or incalculable amounts of fighters crammed onscreen, you can feel the power being pumped through this tiny machine. Even after playing thousands of games in my tenure at Game Informer, I'm completely dumbfounded by the level of detail that went into this project. The texturing on the vehicles – which accurately maps laser reflections and light sourcing – is identical to that in the films. This level of detailing is accurately used on all fronts. When an X-Wing flies by, you can see an animated pilot in the cockpit, and a fully functional R2 unit busily slaving away.
GameSpot (Nov 08, 2001)
While all of Rogue Leader's components are strong on their own, they display a great amount of polish and end up making RL far more than the sum of its parts. While the game seems a bit short at first, you'll find that earning the various medals, uncovering the power-ups for the various craft, discovering the game's special features, and unlocking the bonus levels will keep you hooked. Thanks to tight graphics and immersive gameplay, Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron easily stands as the most impressive launch title for the GameCube. GameCube owners in search of a showcase for their new system owe it to themselves to pick up a copy.
64 Power / big.N / N Games (May, 2002)
Klarer Fall, Rogue Leader zieht seinen größten Reiz aus Grafik und Sound. Beides ist so perfekt inszeniert und aufeinander abgestimmt, dass man sich direkt in den Film hineinversetzt fühlt. Da mag man schon mal gerne über den etwas geringen Spielumfang oder über leichte Slowdowns hinwegsehen. Wer Rogue Leader aber als stumpfe Ballerorgie ohne Sinn und Verstand abfertigt, tut dem Spiel Unrecht. Tatsächlich handelt es sich um einen edlen Action-Knaller der Extraklasse, an dem nicht nur Star Wars-Fans ihre Freude haben werden.
Peliplaneetta.net (May 10, 2002)
Eikä tarpeeksi voida painottaa sitä, miten hieno kokemus Rogue Leader on. Sen ulkoasu ja äänet on hiottu loppuunsa - pientä päivitysongelmaa lukuun ottamatta - ja mitä isommalla TV:llä ja paremmilla stereoilla peliä pelaa, sitä enemmän siitä saa irti. Samalla se ei kuitenkaan ole mikään kalvakka tekniikkademo, vaan täysimittainen peli joka osoittaa kyynikollekin Star Warsin olevan yksi sukupolvemme suuria satuja - ja GameCuben yksi tämän hetken kovia pelikoneita.
Gamezilla (Nov 20, 2001)
I could buy a GameCube for this game only and would not be disappointed. If I never play another game on the system, I already feel I got my money's worth. That is how good this game is. I found myself in constant amazement, talking to the TV (you know a game is good when you start talking to it) and just basically grinning from ear to ear every time I played. It is very difficult to score the higher level medals but thankfully you can still make it through the game without getting a gold on everything. So, if you have a GameCube and have not bought this game yet, you are missing the entire reason for owning that system.
Gaming Target (Nov 21, 2001)
Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader is just about the most perfect Star Wars video gaming experience I can imagine. Sure, we've seen just about everything inside before but there's no such thing as too much of a good thing.
IGN (Nov 16, 2001)
It's taken more than 20 years, but a development studio has finally captured the spirit and beauty of the Star Wars trilogy movies and crammed it all into one action-packed game. The Factor 5 developed Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader represents the evolution of the LucasArts shooter franchise, which was sparked to life on Nintendo 64 some years ago. The GameCube sequel comes complete with all new levels based on scenes from the trilogy, the ability to pilot classic crafts as Jedi hero Luke Skywalker and more secrets than can easily be counted. And it's quite possibly the most beautiful title we've seen on any home console. Rejoice.
RetroGame Man (Jan 31, 2016)
Graphics are some of the best found on the GameCube – and this was a launch title! In terms of sound, it is extremely satisfying hearing the Star Wars music sprinkled throughout, and shooting blasters and blowing up tie fighters never sounded so good! Overall, this is an amazing game that captures the magic of Star Wars, the fun of awesome arcade shooters, and the lasting appeal of a timeless classic.
Eurogamer.net (UK) (May 09, 2002)
Some games don't need a license to be good. Rogue Leader is good because it lives up to its billing. You can argue with me about that until we're both blue in the face, but the only deciding factor here is whether or not you like space combat games. Do you? Because everybody loves Star Wars, right? And this is that. Buy it. Buy a Cube for it.
Nintendo Life (Jun 25, 2013)
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader is a technical marvel, serving up the perfect melange of gameplay, visuals and authentic Star Wars goodness. Factor 5 has stunningly recreated the franchise's deep universe to a degree rarely seen in licensed video games. Disappointingly, it's a very brief experience, but one that you should enjoy nevertheless. This is without a shadow of a doubt one of the GameCube's finest games.
GameSpy (Nov 18, 2001)
Since the game was first announced last spring, the word has been that Rogue Leader would be a mighty fine-looking title for the GameCube. That's exactly what you get, a mighty fine game that lets you take part in numerous space/flight combat sequences in the Star Wars universe.
Nintendo Difference (Sep 14, 2006)
Rogue Squadron 2 fait fort. Il affiche des graphismes parfois plus beaux que le film lui-même. L'ambiance est parfaite et les musiques/bruitages à couper le souffle. Mais le jeu ressemble bien trop à l'opus sur N64 et affiche un niveau de difficulté trop élevé.
Jeuxvideo.com (May 06, 2002)
Un titre incontournable pour les fans de l'univers Star Wars et les possesseurs de Gamecube. Rogue Leader exploite la juteuse licence de manière admirable et comme on aimerait le voir plus souvent. Sa réalisation et son gameplay font de ce soft un véritable must en matière de shoot tout en illustrant de manière magistrale les performances de la nouvelle console Nintendo.
Game Informer Magazine (Dec, 2001)
Leader's graphics are equally up to the task of portraying these epic battles. I just about lost it when I noticed that TIEs would not only self-shadow, but also contain reflections cast from your glancing laser fire and those two red taillights that they have in back. Now, "cut the chatter Red Two" and go buy it.
GamersMark (Nov 19, 2001)
With a game this gorgeous, it is no wonder people will be interested for a long time. Heck, if Lucas wanted to he could have made the game on graphics alone and people would still play. But, the did better and put careful thought into the whole game. This is truly one of the bets launch titles I have ever seen, and it is highly recommended. Star Wars lovers will get what they want, while the casual gamer will find something truly special, a game that wants to be good for you!
Game Over Online (Feb 22, 2002)
Holistically speaking, Rogue Leader raises the bar again for the Star Wars franchise. I think for the foreseeable future, other developers and licensees will try to beat the immersion this title exudes. The developers, Factor 5, have shown themselves to be a master of the cinematic experience inside the trilogy framework and it would be exciting to see what they can come up with if they were provided with some of the prequel material. Simply reliving some of the exciting sequences, like the Death Star trench run, on modern equipment is an experience that is worth the price of admission itself. For those who are shying away because they've seen or played Hoth sequences in other titles, there is plenty of new material in here as well.
N-Zone (Jul 07, 2003)
Ich kann nicht mehr! Immer wenn ich anfange, Rogue Leader zu spielen, kann ich einfach nicht mehr aufhören! Obwohl ich schon die US-Version rauf und runter gespielt habe, kann ich nicht genug kriegen. Diese Grafik! Dieser Sound! Obwohl ich nicht gerade Star-Wars-Fan bin, hat es mich wirklich begeistert, wie detailverliebt Factor 5 das Ganze umgesetzt hat. Selbst kleinste Details wurden 1:1 aus der Film-Vorlage übernommen. Von sämtlichen Launchtiteln konnte mich Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II am meisten begeistern und sicherlich wird das nicht nur mir so gehen.
Digital Press - Classic Video Games (Sep 26, 2005)
The "killer-app" title can be easily applied to Rogue Leader. There isn't another game on the console that will cause players to drool uncontrollably while playing at launch. While the games unreal difficulty will turn many gamers into raging lunatics, most will be so shocked by the graphics, that they'll replay the stages as many times as possible just to look at them. Besides, if it gets that bad, find a friend you don't like very much and take 'em out in the muti-player mode.
Gamesmania.de (Aug 01, 2002)
Fortgeschrittene und Profis sollten unbedingt zuschlagen. Für sie stellt Star Wars: Rogue Leader eine echte Herausforderung dar, die zudem mit einer Präsentation brilliert, an der sich vergleichbare Titel in Zukunft werden messen müssen. Anfänger sollte den Titel mit vorsicht genießen. Für sie stellt er ohne Codes wirklich nur eine Grafikdemo dar, weil sie vermutlich völlig überfordert im erste Drittel des Spiels hängen bleiben werden.
Netjak (Jan 04, 2002)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II has all of the elements of making it a successful flagship release. Overlooked by many, this title should not be missed by anyone owing a GameCube. This is one of the few titles that save this system from mediocrity. As great as the game is, it isn't without flaws. A few other levels could have easily propelled this to Game of the Year status. If there was a way to incorporate a multiplayer aspect to the game, it could also have helped the longevity of the title. With few minor physics issues (awkward turning at times, and leveling problems), this is still a solid title from box cover to the zeros and ones.
Play.tm (May 17, 2002)
An essential GameCube purchase. Good luck, and may the force be with you.
Gamezone (Germany) (Nov 12, 2001)
Rogue Leader ist wie schon der Vorgänger keine Simulation, sondern ein Arcade-Shooter. In den einzelnen Missionen kämpft man an "original Schauplätzen" oder auch in neuen Gebieten. Ausgerüstet mit dem X-Wing, Y-Wing oder A-Wing nimmt man es mit den Tie-Fightern oder anderen Imperialer Kriegsmaschinerie auf. Das Missionsdesign ist sehr gut gelungen und jede Mission bietet andere Aufgaben und dadurch viel Abwechslung.
Gamezine (Nov 27, 2002)
Pour conclure, c'est le jeu sur lequel repose pratiquement tous les espoirs de Nintendo sur la vente du Cube pour sa sortie et ils n'ont pas de soucis à se faire. Grâce à ses graphismes magnifiques, à sa maniabilité exemplaire et à sa bande son excellente, tous les possesseurs de GameCube tomberont sous son charme. Il y a juste sa durée de vie un peu limite mais bon……
Game Revolution (Nov 01, 2001)
Even though the experience is a short one, Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II still ranks among the top Star Wars games I've played. It's got great space and planet based missions, all the classic Star Wars elements we love, and graphics that never cease to amaze me.
Deaf Gamers (2002)
Rogue Leader is an outstanding experience. The score is 7.5 because of the exciting, Star Wars, feeling the game gives. Just take heed of what has been said about the difficulties with the game as a result of the lack of subtitles.
The Age (Jun 27, 2002)
Expect slow progress - the 11 primary campaign missions aren't easy. As well as dodging enemy fire, you'll need to destroy everything marked by the Empire. As in the original N64 game, you'll get to take part in some of the bestknown Star Wars battles, including the Death Star trench run, an attack on a Star Destroyer and the battle on the ice planet Hoth. A pity there's no multiplayer mode.
The Video Game Critic (May 18, 2005)
Rogue Leader does have a major flaw, and that is unclear mission objectives, which make it very easy to get become hopelessly stuck on a particular mission. The difficulty of the stages is also uneven. You struggle through a so-called "training mission", only to coast few some of the more advanced stages. Despite its inconsistencies however, Rogue Leader is still a fun title that Star Wars fans won't want to miss.
Gamereactor (Sweden) (May 08, 2003)
Star Wars Rogue Leader hör till de lite bättre Star Wars-spelen men kunde ha varit ännu bättre om det inte vore för dess orosmoln. Jag hade önskat mer genomtänkt bandesign men först och främst mer konkreta direktiv då jag gör misstag under spelandet. Star Wars Rogue Leader kan mycket väl underhålla Star Wars-fantasterna ett tag, men det finns bättre spel på temat än detta.

I love and admire my wife. As many of you may know, Cathy has been working with non-profit organizations to put books in the hands of our most disadvantaged children for longer than I've known her. I'm incredibly proud and inspired by the way she has made giving a central part of her life. If we all were more focused on how we could help others, using the skills and talents we've developed as a result of others helping us, the world would be a better place.
Just as all of our children need to be nourished with food in order to grow, having the ability to read and appreciate the arts and sciences is necessary to nurture the development of their minds. History shows us that the civilizations that prioritized the pursuit of knowledge and advanced our understanding of the world through the arts and sciences (in all of their forms), are the ancient cultures that continue to be remembered.
"Coloring Page For Literacy" was created to give back and be a collaborative piece in several ways. The contemporary art print, produced by deconstructing imagery from popular children's books characters, was designed to be a coloring page for children that would inspire curiosity, motivate imagination, and emphasize the limitlessness of creative interpretation. I will be donating half of all profit from the sale of the print to purchase books for kids who need them via a non-profit organization focused on building children's literacy through book distributions. Parents that purchase the print for their children to color can know that another parent's kids will get the opportunity to read and learn as a result of their gift. The image will also be made available to community volunteers who might wish to use it as a source for a large scale mural painting in a children's library or other kid-friendly space.

Dr Ludlow's main research interests lie in the history of Western Europe since 1945, and in particular in the historical roots of the European integration process and the early stages of development of the EU. He is also interested in the history of the cold war in Europe and is an editor of Cold War History.
Dr Ludlow studied for his undergraduate degree at Trinity College, Oxford before moving on to St Antony's College Oxford to study for his D.Phil. He was then a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford until he joined the LSE in 1998.
Piers Ludlow has just completed a six month spell as a visiting fellow at the History Department, Princeton University. While in the US his research focused on the development of transatlantic relations during the cold war – and in particular in the way in which the Americans sought to balance their bilateral and multilateral dealings with their Western European allies. The eventual plan is to produce a wide-ranging monograph on this theme drawing upon research from both US and European archives. In the shorter term, Dr. Ludlow is also planning a detailed historical investigation of the Treaty of Rome negotiations which, inexplicably in view of their subsequent importance, still await a comprehensive archival treatment.

Jeff: "Encarnacion has struck out 3 of his last 5 ABs, he had a terrible spring training, and after that pitch right there, like I said... you need to make sure he can bunt. I don't think he can.
Thom: "Well there is no way they're gonna ask him to bunt with two strikes... breaking ball in the dirt 2-2" See that's the problem when you ask a guy who has never bunted..."
Jeff: "Take him out of the game! If he can't bunt, take him out of the game and put somebody else in there."
Thom: "Well if you believe in the bunt in this situation..."
Jeff: "You're at home, you gotta tie the game!"
Thom: "Again that's that 'by the book' kinda thing. I don't know if there's anybody on that bench that you're gonna bring in to bunt for Encarnacion."
Jeff: "This guy is not a clutch hitter"
Thom: "His numbers would be contrary to that"
Jeff: "He's not a clutch player"
Thom: "HAMMERED DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE, IS IT CLUTCH? REDS WIN!!! REDS WIN!!!"
It's funnier to watch on MLB.tv but there it is in text for those without.
Marty's call was not all that great. Chrid Welsch was excited in the background a la Joe Nuxhall. It sounds like the TV version was much more entertaining. pffttt....Brantly
"YES! He rips it. Is it high enough? It's gonna be gone! Adam Dunn has done it again. Big #44 can take all day to round the bases here, thats done and gone- lookout dunner they're waitin for ya at home plate." - George Grand
"Did that just happen?" - Chris Welsch

Updated: September 08, 2016
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 6, 2016: ACES congratulates Monica Gagliardi, Justine Lavoie, Jennifer Place, and Mary Ellen Rourke for becoming Fund for Teachers 2016 Fellows! We are proud that four ACES teachers were selected out of the more than 200 who applied in Connecticut and are among the 484 teachers in the country who received awards. Two of ACES Fund for Teachers Fellows will follow their dreams to The Second City in Chicago and the Lincoln Center for the Arts in New York, where they'll learn how to use theater to reach behaviorally and academically challenged students. Another will journey through Ireland to investigate the art of story-telling and its power to enhance students' writing and multicultural awareness, and the fourth will travel the Iditarod route in Alaska to create an interdisciplinary unit that engages students' multiple intelligences. "ACES is proud of their dedication and their commitment to pursuing learning that will energize their teaching and enrich the lives of their students and colleagues next fall. We wish them all the best of luck" stated Dr. Thomas Danehy, ACES Executive Director.
Fund for Teachers supports educators' efforts to develop skills, knowledge and confidence that impact student achievement. By trusting teachers to design unique fellowships, Fund for Teachers grants validate teachers' professionalism and leadership, as well. Founded in 2001, the Fund for Teachers provides grants to enrich the personal and professional growth of teachers through the pursuit of self-designed learning experiences around the globe. Since its inception, Fund for Teachers has invested $22 million in nearly 6,000 teachers, transforming grants into growth for teachers and their students.

ACES to Move Forward With Purchase of John Slade Ely House
Updated: December 11, 2015FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 11, 2015: Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) is moving forward with the purchase of the John Slade Ely House located at 51 Trumbull Street in New Haven. At the December 10, 2015 board meeting, the ACES Governing Board unanimously voted in favor of the purchase. The purchase price is $390,000, and a grant application for $3 million will be filed with the State of Connecticut School Facilities Department for a 'renovate as new' school facility. The space will be part of ACES Educational Center for the Arts campus. The additional space will allow ACES to conduct classes in a building purposefully designed to meet the needs of teaching and learning in the arts, hence helping ACES to avoid the continued rental of spaces nearby.

You're sitting at the computer playing with your gun?Well, I'm sitting here with it right now with it.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.
AR. CHL Instr. 07/02 FFL
Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Hey.......nice gun.......I have one that is about 2 years old and I have a question. On page 14 (I think) of my owners manual Ruger says "not to use hyper ammo". If your gun is newer have they done something to ....shall we say make a better gun ?
After e-mailing Ruger about this issue they told me "hyper" ammo is not recommended and use it at my own descretion. So I use "high" velocity and "regular" but not "stingers", yellow jackets" and the like.
Please look at your owners manual and let me know if this is changed. I have spoken to more than one gunsmith and they have all told me they use "hyper" and see no problem after several thousand rounds. I have stopped using "hyper" and see no need to but I have so much of it and I have no "closed breach" guns to shoot it through.
If you want the magazines to drop free, parts are available from Brownells to replace the offending parts required for the disconnect. The cost is about $50 (Thanks Ruger!) and 15 minutes of your time. Not only does the mod allow the mags to drop free, the trigger pull is significantly improved as well.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
There is some at the back wall in the bottom
Ok, I got it. I'll order the part per your recommendation. Now I would like to ask a what-if question. What should I look at next if this is not it?
Just installed the new control board and nothing has changed. In one of your responses you suggested to look at either defrost heater or a thermostat. First of all refridgerator is pretty warm inside. The temp is around 60F and the freezed is cold at the bottom and warm on top. I am wondering how the defrost heater may affect both. On the other hand the thermostat is a part of the icemaker. How does that affect the refridgerator?
How do I check that. When I open the freezer or fridge i can hear some buzzing but I am not sure how to verify whether or not the fan is running. I know that the fan in the back of the fridge - the one close to the control box is running. Do you know how to quickly verify the operation of the fan?
I just did. It does not work. I removed the panel as you suggested and bingo. Now, is this it?

Decline In Michigan Car Seat Use
Five area police agencies are watching Kent and Ottawa County drivers as part of an increased effort to find reckless drivers. Part of that enforcement will include checking to make sure children are riding in car seats and booster seats.
Anne Readette of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning tells WOOD Radio mom and dad play the most important role in keeping kids safe in the car.
"The most important indicator to see that kids are buckled-up are if the driver is buckled up."
According to research, for children from birth to 3 years old, 93.6 percent were in car seats, down from 95 percent in 2011. Booster seat use is at 42.4 percent for 4- to 7-year-olds, down from 43.9 percent two years ago.
Readette says Michigan law requires drivers and passengers 15 years old and younger in any seating position to be buckled up. In most cases, mom and dad know better. but some parents aren't as likely to follow the rules.
"They are a little less likely to buckled-up if the driver is male. They are less likely to be buckled-up if the driver is age 65 or older."
The study also looked at misuse rates. The most common misuse for rear-facing seats was the seat not being reclined at the proper angle. Rear-facing and forward-facing seats both had frequent issues with the harness retainer clip position and excessive slack in the harness strap. The most common booster seat misuse was the shoulder belt not being properly positioned over the shoulder and chest of the child.
For information on car seats or to locate the nearest technician, visit SaferCar.gov/TheRightSeat or download the SaferCar app.

With apologies to the original Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Somewhere over the rainbow spirits fly.
There's a bridge that I heard of high in the clear blue sky.
Somewhere over the rainbow they fly free
And the angel dust they sprinkle helps heal you and me.
One day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me.
Where spirits wait so patiently, with purrs and woofs so full of glee,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow my Gavroche waits.
He waits over the the rainbow righ b y the peraly gates.
Those happy little spirits fly beyond the rainbow.
Someday so shall I.
I have been trying all day to think of what to say here about my sweet boy's crossing over the bridge. So far, I am wordless. All I can say is, my heart has gone to the bridge. One day, I will reclaim it.

BUENOS AIRES -- It's hard to wrestle with the crucial moral and cultural issues in modern Argentina without getting Catholic and Protestant leaders into the same room.During one tense gathering, some Catholic speakers kept referring to decades of rapid growth by "evangelical cults" in Latin America. The assumption seemed to be that evangelical Protestants were all the same, with no real differences between, for example, the freewheeling "prosperity Gospel" preachers and ordinary Protestant … [Read more...]
Pope Benedict XVI exits, on his own terms
In the spring of 2009, Pope Benedict XVI stopped in Aquila, Italy, to pray at the shrine of St. Celestine V.The pope left his pallium -- a wool garment that resembles a yoke, symbolizing bonds between a shepherd and his flock — on this medieval pope's tomb, noted theologian Scott Hahn of Franciscan University of Steubenville. Then, 15 months later, he visited a cathedral outside Rome to pray before the relics, once again, of St. Celestine V.Few noticed Benedict's actions at the time, wro … [Read more...]
Angels, demons & good Catholics
Near the end of Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons," the beautiful scientist Vittoria Vetra clashes with a Vatican official who insists that the day researchers prove how God acted in creation is "the day people stop needing faith.""You mean the day they stop needing the church," she shouts, weaving together the novel's main themes.
