Honors students design lab experience for Westminster youngsters
The kids from the Westminster Boys and Girls Club learned a lot about invertebrates during the hour they spent in the lab with several McDaniel honors students – and best of all the experience whet their appetites for learning.
It's a fool-proof formula – kids plus slimy, wiggly critters equals eewws, ahhhhs and more than a few squeals. But look beneath the obvious, and you see the sense of wonder, the beginnings of scientific curiosity and the idea that learning can be fun.
That's as true for the elementary through middle school students from Boys and Girls Club as it is for the McDaniel honors students who designed the lab experience.
To turn their Invertebrate Zoology class into an honors-enriched experience, their professor challenged them to creatively modify lab for the BGC students. With the help of their professor, Molly Jacobs (above), they figured out which invertebrates to feature, set up microscopes and earnestly helped each budding scientist explore the zoology of the spineless critters.
"Our students often volunteer at Boys and Girls Club, but we want to find ways to have the Boys and Girls Club members here in our classrooms and labs – experiencing McDaniel," says Stephanie Madsen, Psychology professor and director of the college's Honors Program.
The McDaniel students seemed to be having just as much fun as their BGC students.
"We wanted them to be able to look, touch and observe different invertebrates," said Candace Lyle (above), a junior from Baltimore, smiling as she watched the varied reactions to a flagellating Nereid worm in a Petrie dish and cautioned one 7-year-old to be careful since the worm bites. "I love kids!"

On Cryme Tyme's break-up: "What happened was it was just time. It was one of those things where we weren't getting titles for whatever reason and you know, if we break-up, we can break up and always come back together because you know, no matter what we're still brothers. So plans for me that, I was told a year after I got released, I was told my plans by some of the old writers. A lot of the old writers live in L.A. And we always talk. We always have lunches and a lot of them are working at Paramount, where I'm at and they will see me and be like 'Oh yeah, this guy used to be a wrestler.' But I know the plans for me was I was supposed to go to Raw and face Cena and I actually remember the day of the draft and I didn't get drafted to Raw like I was supposed to that night so I was like something's up. So we came to Smackdown the next day, I remember walking down the hallway and seeing Michael Hayes and I was like 'what am I doing today?' and he said 'I don't f-ing know because you're not supposed to be here.' So it was supposed to be me vs. Cena and they were supposed to build me up as a major heel on Raw. But because of certain agents and certain people didn't think I deserved it all of a sudden I became the guy that can't wrestle."
On if he knew the people that were against them: "I do. I know who some of them were, but you know me I'm a business man and I don't need to air all that on the radio."
On what happened with CTC (Cryme Tyme Cenation): "It's a weird thing with Cena sometimes. I think guy's like Hunter, Taker, Rock, you know those guys are onions. They have layers to them Stone Cold, you know. They've changed their gimmicks up in so many different ways all the time and it always benefited them. They see the best in changing what they are doing up. And sometimes with Cena he doesn't really want to change it up. I remember we were doing the CTC thing and where at a house show and it was John Cena vs. Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes (in a handicap match). And I remember Randy Orton coming to me and he was like 'What the F-ck? Why is he facing two guys? You guys aren't facing anybody. You're doing a run in and I'm facing a random person.' You know, it didn't make any sense. He (Orton) was like, 'why not just make it a 6-man tag?' We were doing CTC but at the house shows it was CTB. It was Cryme Tyme/Batista. We literally did more 6-mans where it was me, J and Batista vs. Jericho, Rhodes and Dibiase or Orton, Rhodes and Dibiase. You know, it was a weird situation. Everybody thought it was beneficial. I can't really tell you how Cena felt but I just know that it just didn't go any further than what it did."
On whether there is a glass ceiling in WWE: "Well you know what? That glass ceiling is gonna come into really good context in the next say... I say three years. Cause Kofi Kingston's contract is gonna be up soon. And if there is anybody on the WWE roster, right now who deserves a world heavyweight championship more than Kofi Kingston, please let me know who he is? Because honest to God, Kofi Kingston is amazing. He makes every match he is in. There hasn't been a match that Kofi Kingston has been in where you haven't been amazed by what he did. So if the glass ceiling does exist, Kofi Kingston shouldn't get a title. But if the glass ceiling doesn't exist, within the next 2 years Kofi Kingston should be world heavyweight champion at least once."
Which World Title should Kofi get?: "Either one and this comes straight from my heart. He should be WWE champion at least once. Because honestly who deserves to be champion more; Ryback or Kofi Kingston?"

2007 UK single-disc collection from the R&B and Pop vocalist, one of the biggest, and best-selling, female artists of all time. She's broken countless records throughout her career, has had consistent success in music and in film, since her debut single "Saving All My Love For You" in 1985. Her music combined big adult ballads with stylish pop and slick contemporary urban soul and her voice is a benchmark that has not since been equaled. This 18 track compilation features her absolute best hits including 'I Will Always Love You', 'Greatest Love Of All', 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop)', 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', 'Saving All My Love For You' and many more. The previous Greatest Hits collection was a two CD set that featured remixes and more, but this single-disc collection offers the cream of the crop! Sony/BMG.

Gulfstream says it is adding approximately 35 jobs at its BQK (Brunswick GA) completions facility over the next year to support Gulfstream completions work.
FirstFlight has expanded its fleet with the addition of a Hawker 850XP. With this aircraft, based at TEB (Teterboro NJ), the total number of aircraft in FirstFlight's fleet has risen to 15.
Hawker Beechcraft Corp (HBC) has announced its intent to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as a standalone company after the deal with Superior Aviation Beijing collapsed.
HBC made the announcement on Oct 18, saying it would rename itself Beechcraft Corp and focus on its most profitable lines of business—turboprop, piston, special mission and trainer/attack aircraft when it emerges from Chapter 11, expected in 1Q2013.
HBC Chairman Bill Boisture says that the company will keep Superior's $50-million deposit—now considered fully nonrefundable—and is evaluating its alternatives for the Hawker product line, including options to sell some or all of the ill-performing business unit or close it down entirely.
Industry advisor Brian Foley believes that this is just another chapter of a story that is still playing itself out. He, along with other industry experts, speculate that the collapsed deal is an indication that the company as a whole is not saleable. However, they also believe the new plan of reorganization may allow the company to sell off its various business units separately, which would likely be more appealing to potential suitors. Prior to Superior's $1.79-billion bid in July, both Textron and Embraer reportedly had interest in the company.
CAE has been awarded a contract to supply Bombardier Aerospace with a simulator for the development of the Global 7000 and 8000 program. Under the agreement, CAE will provide Bombardier with engineering services and simulation-based technology tools, including a simulator, to support the design, testing and certification of the Global 7000/8000 platform as part of Bombardier's integrated system test and certification rig.
MRO Services
Honda Aircraft Company has broken ground on a new MRO facility at GSO (Intl, Greensboro NC). The 90,000 sq ft facility is being built adjacent to the company's world headquarters and will accommodate up to 12 aircraft simultaneously. Capabilities include composite and sheet metal repair as well as avionics and interior repair and modification. The building will also include a customer area, individual works rooms, conference space and a flight planning room. Construction is expected to be completed by 2H2013 and will cost $120 million.
Hawker Beechcraft has opened a new service center at MTY (Gral Escobedo, Monterrey del Norte, Mexico). The 48,000 sq ft facility offers maintenance, repair and modification services for airframe, engines and avionics as well as interior modification services. It is also the company's first dedicated paint facility in Mexico. The new service center includes 10,700 sq ft of office and customer hospitality space, including a design center for reviewing and selecting interior fabrics and exterior paint schemes.
Cessna has opened its first Citation service center in the UK. The 50,000 sq ft facility at DSA (Doncaster/Sheffield, England) was known as Kinch Aviation Services for 15 years until Cessna acquired the company recently. The service center offers a wide range of services from maintenance to modernization and paint.
NBAA Business Aviation Regional Forum BFI
BFI is a vibrant and growing bizav hub, with new hangars going up and ongoing expansion of local flight departments.
NBAA's latest regional forum was hosted by Clay Lacy Aviation on Sep 20 at BFI (Boeing Field, Seattle WA). It attracted more than 800 attendees, 16 aircraft on static display and 80 exhibitors. This was a daylong learning and peer networking venue designed to meet the needs of the regional business aviation community in the Pacific Northwest.
NBAA Pres & CEO Ed Bolen opened the general session and took the opportunity to warn local business aviation operators about the threat of new $100-per-flight user fees imposed on turbine ops. Learning sessions at the forum included upset recovery and mitigation strategies for business aviation, best practices for transitioning from paper to digital charts, future air navigation system (FANS) updates and business aviation tax considerations.
AgustaWestland brought a YVR (Vancouver BC, Canada)-based AW139 to the static display.
Aircraft presented on static display included the Dassault Falcon 2000LX, Hawker Beechcraft Hawker 4000, Embraer Legacy 650, AgustaWestland AW139 and a full-size mockup of the Cirrus Vision SF50 VLJ.
The evening prior to the forum Clay Lacy Aviation hosted a reception for attendees and Galvin Aviation held a soirée, cosponsored by Epic Aviation and the UVair Fuel Program, in its newly completed hangar with guests mingling around a restored Boeing B17 on loan from the Seattle Museum of Flight.
Business aviation remains strong in the Seattle area with ongoing hangar construction and a growing population of locally based business aircraft. Aviation Partners CEO Joe Clark was on hand to tout 4 blended winglet-equipped Falcons now based at BFI—a factory Falcon 2000LX, 2 retrofitted Falcon 900s and a recently retrofitted Falcon 50.
FAA certification was achieved Sep 18 for Falcon 50 High Mach blended winglets.
NBAA business aviation regional forums are designed to meet the needs of local business and aviation communities while providing an introduction to local government and area leaders interested in learning more about the business aviation industry. Next NBAA regional forum is at LGB (Long Beach CA) on Feb 28, 2013. —Grant McLaren

I disagree: it reflects the health and worth of the industry.

If I want to play Modern Warfare 3 then I want to play Modern Warfare-fucking 3, not Battlefield 3 or any of the other games that are at least superficially similar to it. That publishers are able to exploit their customers to this degree - successfully - is another arrow in the quiver demonstrating that games are more art than product. Toothbrushes can be easily substituted for one another, the Mona Lisa cannot.

Dinner rut be gone!!
Sometimes I just lack any motivation to make dinner. On those days, I turn to easy pantry recipes- meaning that I already have everything on hand so that I don't have to venture to the grocery store with three hungry kids right before dinner time (has anyone ever done that? Worst idea ever!).
The great thing about this casserole is that anything goes . . . you can add as few or as many vegetables as you want. I usually just throw in whatever I have in my pantry or vegetable drawer in the fridge. My kids don't even realize that they are eating their vegetables, so it's totally a win-win combination!
Creamy Chicken and Noodle Casserole
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or you can make Homemade Cream of Chicken soup)
1 cup sour cream (I used light)
1 cup cornflakes, crushed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
1/4 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
2 roma tomatoes, diced (optional)
*I have also added zucchini, pimentos, red bell pepper, yellow squash, peas, frozen corn . . . whatever you have will work!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Boil chicken until cooked through (no longer pink inside), about 20-30 minutes. Chop into bite size pieces and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine soup, sour cream, vegetables of your choice. Pour mixture over chicken. In a separate bowl, combine crushed cornflakes and melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the chicken mixture. Cover and bake for 30 minutes (or freeze for baking at another time).
Serve over your favorite kind of noodles (I prefer angel hair pasta or spaghetti noodles for this recipe, but any kind works great!).
Makes 6 servings.

Wrabel awarded duPont Fellowship
August 07, 2013
Stetson University alumna Maria Wrabel '12, who graduated in Global Development Studies, a major she designed to reflect her strong passion for global issues, has been selected as one of only two college graduates to serve as a Fellow through the Jessie Ball duPont Fund Fellowship.
Having recently returned from her work in Vietnam with Volunteers in Asia, Wrabel has just begun as a Fellow in the program's two-year period of work and study in philanthropy and charitable work in the American South. The program is designed to provide practical experience for students interested in careers in the independent sector, either with nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations or philanthropic organizations.
Since fall 2012, Wrabel was based in Vietnam, teaching Cultural Awareness and Intercultural Communication to students with bachelor's degrees seeking advanced degrees through study abroad at Can Tho University's Center for Foreign Languages. She partnered with Peacework Development Fund to run an English Club for Can Tho University students in a rural area, and to conduct community assessments of two villages in the Mekong Delta. She also worked as a volunteer for Heifer Vietnam, a branch of Heifer International, a global nonprofit with the goal of ending poverty and hunger.
"Vietnam was an amazing and challenging experience," said Wrabel after returning recently to the States. "In addition to exploring Vietnam, I got to travel around Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand. You meet an incredible mix of people when living abroad. Of course, being abroad was hard sometimes. It's not always as glamorous and exciting as people like to think it is. Living in a new culture, getting lost and being unable to ask for directions and being a minority challenges the core of who you are and the foundations of what you think."
Before accepting the Fellowship, Wrabel was offered the chance to work in Indonesia for another year. She faced the hard decision of choosing whether or not to remain in the United States to work on issues with the Fellowship program, or follow her passion for food security in another country.
"I'll admit that it was a difficult decision," she explained. "And I did what I always do—made about ten pro/con lists, talked to anyone who would listen and drowned myself in hypotheticals. In deliberating over my options I also realized that in order to do the kind of work I want to do abroad I needed more professional experience. In Bonner, we talk about something called our "sweet spot"—the position in which doing what you love fulfills what a community needs. My offer in Indonesia was for another year of teaching English which I realized wasn't my "sweet spot," and doing that for another year wouldn't be being true to myself."
"It is good to have students so talented they are offered multiple opportunities at once," said D. Gregory Sapp, Ph.D., associate professor of religious studies and Hal S. Marchman chair of Civic and Social Responsibility at Stetson University. "But it is, at the same time, difficult to watch them anguish over such huge decisions."
During her time at Stetson, Wrabel received numerous recognitions including Outstanding Freshman and Senior in the Bonner Scholars Program and Outstanding Senior in the Honors Program. She was inducted into four honor societies: Phi Beta Kappa; Omicron Delta Epsilon; Alpha Kappa Delta; and Sigma Tau Delta, and was a Truman Scholar Finalist. She tied with another graduating senior for the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, Stetson's top leadership honor for graduating seniors, whose personal example and influence throughout the campus best exemplify the noblest human qualities and the finest values that Stetson nurtures.
"My participation in Stetson's Bonner Scholars Program was most important to me," said Wrabel in an earlier interview shortly before graduating from Stetson. "I was able to get involved in the community since my first day at Stetson in a variety of ways…from tutoring students at Woodward Elementary School, to volunteering at a local homeless shelter, to interning with Feeding Children Everywhere. Being the president of the Oxfam Club was also a highlight, as it gave me the chance to spread my passion for global issues to other members of the Stetson community."
Fellows of the program are selected from a field of applicants nominated by the academic deans and presidents of the colleges and universities that are eligible for support from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund. The Fellows work as members of the staff with exposure to foundation governance, grant making, governmental oversight and industry events. They also participate in a nonprofit certificate course at a university.

Thoughts on Using Speech Recognition Software On a Mac
Way back in the late 1990s, I remember first trying speech recognition software. The first program I used was ViaVoice, by IBM. If my memory is correct, this was the first Mac program that allowed you to speak in phrases and sentences, as opposed to dictating each word one at a time. I used this software with Mac OS 9, probably on an LC 475, and the results were terrible. Given the speed of a computer like that, and the quality of speech recognition algorithms at the time, this was not surprising. While I did own a PC, which I needed for some of the work I did, I didn't bother to buy Windows speech recognition software, the most popular of which at the time was called Dragon Dictate.
At that time, and in the following years, I did a lot of dictation. Working mostly as a freelance translator, I would dictate into a handheld dictaphone, and my wife would type and correct my translations at the same time. I would have loved to have been able to dictate directly into my Mac back then.
Over the years, I kept following the various speech recognition solutions offered for Mac. In the past few years, I have reviewed several of these programs for Macworld: my latest review of Dragon Dictate for Mac was in November of this year; my review of Dragon express, a "light" version of Dragon Dictate, appeared online today. And I recently wrote an overview of the different types of microphones available for speech recognition software.
I type relatively quickly, and using speech recognition software doesn't so much save me time as make me more relaxed. As I write this article, I'm leaning back in my chair, my hands comfortably crossed on my stomach, and I'm dictating into a SpeechWare TableMike. This is a desktop microphone with an extendable boom which is, for me, the most comfortable microphone that I've used for speech recognition. First of all, I don't need to wear anything on my head, and I don't need any wires to connect me to my computer. The microphone sits on my desktop, I tilt the boom down in the direction of my mouth, and I can comfortably dictate with the microphone more than a foot away from me. This means I can easily choose to dictate anything at any time, without worrying about connecting a mic, positioning it correctly, or, if it's wireless, turning it on and worrying about its battery.
Speech recognition software is not perfect. You will not get 100% recognition; there will be some mistakes, but the more you use this software the more it learns from the way you talk and the way you correct recognition errors. While speech recognition software isn't for everyone—I wouldn't want to talk all day, as it can be tiring—I find it very practical to be able to dictate some of the articles I write instead of typing. Unfortunately, speech recognition software is somewhat expensive (though the new Dragon Express, available from the Mac App Store, is only $50), and, while you can get good results with an average microphone, the best results require an investment. But if you write a lot, and you'd like to be more comfortable when you work, or if, simply, you don't type very quickly, it's worth looking into this software. Dragon Dictate for Mac is an excellent program that has made a lot of progress in the past couple of years, and one that can make a difference in the way you work.

Yankees hope for length from Mussina
Yankees hope for length from Mussina
The Rangers' Nos. 3 and 5 hitters on Tuesday, Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock, have batted .136 and .161 off Mussina in their respective careers -- not to mention that they've combined for just two extra-base hits off the right-hander. Mussina will look to continue his dominance on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.
Mussina is coming off a start against the Rangers in which he pitched his best game of the season, throwing five innings and giving up one run. This will be Mussina's fourth start this year after missing most of April when he injured a hamstring while pitching against the Twins on April 11.
Mussina threw 64 pitches in last week's start against the Rangers -- his first off the disabled list -- 49 of which were strikes. Manager Joe Torre said that Mussina's pitch count will be higher in his start on Wednesday, and he noted the right-hander's precision against the Rangers his last time out.
"This game is all about control," Torre said. "If he was that sharp the first time out, I don't expect to see him take a step backward."
Texas will send Robinson Tejeda to the mound for a second chance against the Yankees this season. He took the loss in his first shot at the Bombers, despite giving up three runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Pitching matchup
NYY: RHP Mike Mussina (1-1, 5.73 ERA)
Yankees fans finally saw the Mussina they're used to in his last start against the Rangers, when he pitched five innings and only allowed one run. It was the first time Mussina had pitched since a game against the Twins on April 11, when Torre had to replace the right-hander after just two innings because of a hamstring injury. Mussina got the win in his return start, giving up four hits and striking out three. He was 2-0 with a 3.15 ERA in three starts against the Rangers last season.
Tejeda would have started on Tuesday, but the Rangers gave him a day off because of some concern with his left hamstring. Tejeda lost to the Yankees last Thursday when the Yankees were in Texas, giving up three runs in 6 1/3 innings. He is 0-2 with an 8.68 ERA in two career starts against the Yankees. Player to watch
Not many current Rangers have hit Mussina well. Center fielder Kenny Lofton may have the most success against the right-hander, batting .265 off him with two home runs and six RBIs in 49 career at-bats. On the Internet

If knowledge is power, then Tucsonans have a decision to make.
We know, thanks to the Star's exhaustive look over the past week at the underpinnings and effects of poverty in our community, that thousands of our neighbors — specifically children — simply put, are poor.
The reasons are myriad. Tucson is a low-wage town. Rents are up, affordable child care is out of reach, public assistance has dried up and jobs are hard to come by. More kids live in single-parent families than two-parent homes. Drug and alcohol addiction is an underlying factor for many people, and treatment options are few.
All of this weighs kids down. It limits their futures, and that, in turn, has a negative effect on the entire community.
So we have a choice:
Do we confront the poverty in front of us — or do we wring our hands, say that's too bad and carry on with our lives.
It's a choice of what kind of poverty we will accept: the economic, educational and social shortcomings of a community, or the poverty of spirit that condemns children to a life without a better opportunity.
Which will it be?
It's easy to read about the hardships Tucsonans face — particularly our youngest — and see the obstacles as too steep.
But think of it this way: If a child were standing in the middle of a busy street filled with potholes, you would help that boy or girl cross to safety. You would stop traffic, make drivers turn in a different direction and jump over the craters in the road.
You would do what needs to be done to help a child.
Many of you have.
Readers who were touched by the hardships faced by kids who attend Walter Douglas Elementary — a school profiled in a three-part series on the Star's editorial pages — have asked how they can help. Some have made donations to the school, and others have said they want to give their time.
Dozens of schools across Pima County have students in similar financial straits — kids who don't have shoes and clothes (including socks and underwear) that fit or pencils and paper for homework. There are plenty of places to make a difference.
These kids need you — they need help with meeting basic needs, but they also need us to tackle the bigger picture problems that create the trap of intergenerational poverty.
Kids need parents who can find and hold a job at a living wage and not have to leave their kids alone at home because they can't afford good child care. They need a safe place to live and a stable family. They need parents who can go to the doctor when they need to, who can afford medications and who can get help kicking a drug or alcohol addiction. They need food on the table and a bed to sleep in.
If we keep these necessities in the forefront and work back from there, perhaps we can begin to see the tangled web of poverty in a new light. The answer isn't as simple as giving everyone $1,000 or a rent-free apartment.
Tucson is fortunate to have many organizations, like Primavera and the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, who are committed to helping people climb out of poverty. If there is something you're passionate about, chances are more than good there's an organization that can use your help.
We, as a community, can't do it with money alone, although that certainly helps. Tucson's kids need ideas. They need involvement. They need a commitment.
Our kids need you.

Tsunami warning system praised
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, September 13, 2007
BANGKOK, Thailand -- Indonesia used mosque loudspeakers to warn residents within minutes of a powerful earthquake. Bangladeshi volunteers with bullhorns told tourists and fishermen to flee to higher ground ahead of a possible tsunami.
A warning system installed after the devastating 2004 Southern Asia tsunami appeared to work well after a string of earthquakes off Indonesia on Wednesday and Thursday, allowing officials to alert coastal communities by cell phone text message, e-mail and fax, officials said.
"They were quite fast in delivering the warning. The first warning went out in five or six minutes," said Michael Rottmann, the U.N. special coordinator for the early warning system in Indonesia.
Fresh quakes and aftershocks hit the ocean off Indonesia on Thursday. They didn't produce a tsunami, although an 8.4 quake the day before spawned a 10-foot-high one that caused damage but no deaths. At least 10 people were killed and scores were injured by the quakes.
The 2004 tsunami disaster left 230,000 dead and was marked by failures to warn many communities, mostly because of faulty equipment, poor communications and cumbersome bureaucracy.
That prompted the United Nations and six governments, including the U.S., to create the $130 million Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System, a network of seismographs, deep-sea monitoring buoys and water-pressure measurement devices.
The project also includes some gear and training for local officials to notify people about the threat of a tsunami.
The United Nations said the system has been operational since July 2006, allowing sensor data to be sent to the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and Japan Meteorological Agency and then on to countries that could be affected by a tsunami.
Tsunami alerts this week managed to reach Australia's remote northwestern territories of Christmas and Cocos Islands, India's Andaman Islands, as well as beach-front communities in Sri Lanka that were damaged in 2004.
The system is expected to be fully complete in 2008, improving the accuracy of its data with more seismographs and at least 13 more pressure-measurement devices, known by the acronym DART, for Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis.

its all about your game, your style, your position and your preference. for example, i work for a university team. we have two amazing stick handlers, one uses a stick just under his chin, the other is 5"10 and uses a full length bauer stick. we have a shooter on out team with soft hands who uses a stick to the middle of his chin, and all our D men use sticks between their chins and their mouths (while on skates) when it comes down to it its what you like and what you think benefits you the most.
me i am 5"11 defencemen and i use a full length bauer stick, i have decent hand and a few moves but my passing, shot and defensive game are better with the full length sticks then with a shorter one
just my two cents

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Iron defiency anemia would not be the cause of hand tremors.
If he is iron deficient then this should be treated with an iron supplement at least. Ferrous sulfate 325 mg a day is the most common
The tremor may have different causes but this is common problem at his age.
If you have further questions then let me know and I will be happy to get back with you.

We don't do photo Christmas cards every year, but this year we did and I wanted to go all out with a fun theme of sorts. The hubs acquired his dad's 1972 Jaguar E-type when we were first married 8 years ago and it's been a fun toy to take out on date nights and special events. We're both a pretty into the whole English thing. In fact my husband lived there for a short time after college and he surprised me on our one year anniversary with a trip there. I had never been before that.
In any case, I thought it would be fun to do a cheeky Brit themed photo session for a few years now. And this Christmas season I decided, was the perfect reason to finally do a shoot! So today I wanted to share our fun pics with you done by the lovely Beth of Beth Moser Photography! We love the way they came out.
Side note….It was 96 degrees the day we took these photos! We looked absolutely RIDICULOUS to everyone at the park that day where we took the photos. The husband was not thrilled with my clothing choices at all!
If it seems quiet on the blog, you can always find me over at Instagram @shellyvanr! I'd love for you to peek inside my life. Sometimes it's crazy, sometimes it's just the day to day, but it's never the same!
We recently had a photo session for our holiday pictures with my wonderfully, talented friend Jennifer of Jennifer Lenzen Photography. We're so happy with how she perfectly captured are silly, goofy family! Head over to her blog to see our photos as well as some of the other families she's captured.
An old friend of mine that I have known since I was in second grade has been working on a fabulous photography project. She's a surfer girl, photographer, wife and a mom to two little cute girls. Her project entails following women of all ages who surf and photographing them in the spot that inspires them the most. I want to share one of her pics with you. They are SO beautiful and I want to frame all of them for my office as inspiration to get out in the water more! Yes, I surf too! Take a look.

US Offshore Wind Industry Sees Progress
Christopher Long
Manager of Offshore Wind and Siting Policy,
American Wind Energy Association
State and federal processes for developing offshore wind in the U.S. are well underway. As a result of offshore wind energy's significant job creation potential, proven environmental benefits and close proximity to demand, it has attracted developers to pursue projects along the East and West coasts, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Although hurdles exist and major milestones still need to be reached, the United States has made important advances, including in the past year. Most recently, Congress included the extension of the Production Tax Credit and the Investment Tax Credit in the final deal to avert the fiscal cliff in late 2012. The version of the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit extension included in the legislation covers all wind projects that start construction in 2013. The Investment Tax Credit is particularly important in helping to launch the United States offshore wind industry because offshore projects are more capital intensive and they have longer permitting time lines compared to land-based wind projects.
On the regulatory side, in early 2011, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Energy unveiled a coordinated strategic plan to achieve the deployment of 10 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2020 and 54 gigawatts by 2030. Since then there has been significant progress at the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, including the finding of no significant impact for the Mid-Atlantic wind energy areas. That finding means that leases for site-assessment activities can now be issued in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia without the need for preparation and federal review of an environmental impact statement, a process that could have taken at least two years for any project.
In addition, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management published a draft environmental assessment for the Rhode Island-Massachusetts wind energy area, proposed lease sales for the wind energy areas off Rhode Island-Massachusetts and Virginia, and granted a lease to NRG Energy's (Princeton, New Jersey) Bluewater Wind project in the wind energy area off the coast of Delaware.
The research and development focus in the U.S. has been on near-term and shallow-water deployments in the Atlantic, Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico in order to jump start a commercial market, as well as on strategic investment in technology such as floating foundations for projects in deeper water, including off the coast of Maine and the West Coast.
For example, in order to help speed technical innovations and drive down costs, last year, the Department of Energy announced the commitment of $43 million in funding for 41 projects across 20 states. These projects include those with teams focusing on innovations in key components, such as floating support structures and turbine rotor and control subsystems. Other teams are focusing on removing market barriers related to port and vessel requirements, and transmission grid integration.
In December 2012, the Department of Energy announced seven winners for its Advanced Technology Demonstration Project Initiative. Awardees include projects off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as in the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. The goal of this program is to provide funding to verify innovative technology and help lower costs. Each awardee will receive up to $4 million to complete the engineering site evaluation and planning phase of the project. Upon completion of this phase, the Department of Energy will select up to three of these projects to receive an additional $47 million in funding for the follow-on design, fabrication and deployment phases in order to achieve operation by 2017.
Industry experts and analysts believe that the offshore wind industry in the U.S. is well-positioned for significant growth in the coming years. The high potential for the offshore segment of the wind energy industry makes the case for continued focus and investment.
Sea Technology is read worldwide in more than 110 countries by management, engineers, scientists and technical personnel working in industry, government and educational research institutions. Readers are involved with oceanographic research, fisheries management, offshore oil and gas exploration and production, undersea defense including antisubmarine warfare, ocean mining and commercial diving.
