STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Teachers in a northeast Ohio school district are expected to be back on the picket line Monday after parties in the strike failed to reach a deal during weekend talks.
The Plain Dealer in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/WysRL6 ) reports that Strongsville Education Association President Tracy Linscott and School Board President David Frazee said separately they were frustrated by the lack of progress after Sunday's five-and-a-half-hour meeting.
The strike over salary and working conditions in the Cleveland suburb has embroiled close to 400 teachers. Classes are being conducted by substitutes in the district of about 6,300 students.
A federal mediator has been working with the parties since Jan. 30.
Superintendent John Krupinski told the newspaper that the parties remain "substantially apart" on many key issues, and no further negotiation sessions have been scheduled.

A box of Honey Nut Cheerios angered me the other night. I was sitting there watching reruns of "The Big Bang Theory" when the sudden need for sustenance swept over me. In other words, my tummy was hungry.
As I made my way to the kitchen, I spied three brand new boxes of breakfast cereal sitting on top of the refrigerator. Depending on the milk situation, I was going to be in sweet, sugary, blissful heaven. You see, I'm kind of finicky when it comes to milk usage. The newer the better is my motto. If the bottle is within a week of the upcoming expiration date, I consider it to be possibly toxic.
To my delight, a brand new, unopened, pristine plastic jug of pure white 2 percent was sitting on the top shelf just waiting for me. I imagine that a broad smile crossed my face as I removed the lime-green plastic bowl from our cupboard because I was about to immerse my taste buds in cerealy-pasteurized heaven.
As I surveyed the brand selections that night, there were choices that had to be made. I could go with my regular standby of Sugar Frosted Flakes because as everyone by now knows, they're grrrrreat. Or I could have eaten some of my daughter's cereal, but that would have just caused trouble down the road when I would have had to explain my motives for breaking into her box of cereal.
The third choice that evening was the aforementioned Honey Nut Cheerios. Along with a smiling bee, there was also a picture of a heart on the box, so I naturally presumed that it was the healthy choice for my middle-aged body. I felt kind of proud that I was looking after my own well-being as I pulled the box down off of the fridge. My life was perfect at that moment. I had new cereal, new milk and a lime-green bowl at my disposal. It is at this point where my tale turns tragic.
I don't know what they're making cereal boxes out of these days, but there is no way it can be the same stuff that they made them out of when I was a kid. I defy a person, when opening a brand new box of cereal, to not rip, tear, rupture, shred or rend the cardboard top in some way, shape and/or form. Cereal box cardboard has been getting thinner and thinner, and I've had enough.
This complaint has been boiling up silently under my epidermis for several years, possibly decades. That night, I carefully took my index fingers and slid them between the overlapping sections of cardboard, pulling in an outward fashion toward the perimeter of the container. Ever so slowly, inch by agonizing inch, I separated the microscopically thin layers of cardboard from the glue that held them together. As I approached the outer edges, it appeared as though victory would be mine. But alas, it was not to be because when I pulled the flaps back, the box ripped on the corner. I could not have been more careful, and the box still tore. I swear that the Honey Nut Cheerio Bee laughed as he stared up at me with those eyes of a maniac. Stupid bee.
When I was a kid, cereal box cardboard was some of the sturdiest stuff on the planet. Does anybody remember when they actually put records on the backs of cereal boxes? For those youngsters out there who have no idea what a "record" is, you might as well stop reading now because I really don't feel like taking the time to explain it to you. Just get out your cell phone and Google it.
When I was 6 or 7 years old, I had a complete cereal box cardboard record collection. Well, actually, I had two. I had "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies and something with the bear from the Super Sugar Crisp box on it. There may have been a Bobby Sherman record in the mix, but I'm blaming that one on my sister.
I used to sneak up to my older brother's room to use his stereo, which was a pretty nice piece of equipment in those days, to play my music collection. If I remember correctly (and I usually don't anymore), he was very particular about how his stereo should be used. He had an extensive collection of albums (made out of actual vinyl as opposed to cheap cardboard), that he would play at extreme decibel levels. For what seemed like a six-month period, he used it to loudly play Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia" over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. My parents still get twitchy when they think about it.
I can still picture lowering the expensive diamond-tipped needle down on to the cheap piece of cardboard I had cut out of the back of the box just minutes before. I was such a rebel. I think that my brother was curious as to why his precious turntable was sometimes covered in Froot Loop dust. With any luck, hopefully the statute of limitations has passed on this particular crime. I guess I'll find out when he reads this.
But I digress. My point is that cereal packaging used to be much more substantial. It could actually withstand the force of cereal. Nowadays, there is merely an ever-so-thin, fragile membrane separating my Lucky Charms and Crunchberries from the outside, disease-ridden world. I try not to ask for much, but I beg and plead for thicker, tear-resistant cereal boxes to come back into our lives. If not for me, do it for the children who don't know any better. Especially the ignorant ones who don't know what a record is.
When I get home tonight and sit down in my chair, I'll gaze over to our refrigerator and that's where I will see him. That cold-blooded Honey Nut Cheerio Bee on his slightly-torn cereal box staring back with those cold, hollow eyes, always mocking me.
And the bee, never flitting, still is sitting, sitting over my refrigerator door.
Quoth the bee, "Nevermore."

Cookie dough is one of my all-time favorite foods, to the point where I consider it major victory if I bake more than 25 percent of a given batch. Between swiping it straight from the bowl and eating frozen balls of dough that were intended to be baked at some later date, the lion's share of it never makes it to the oven.
At Cusp, the top-floor restaurant at the Hotel La Jolla, chef Donald Lockhart shares a similar passion for cookie dough, though his focus is on coming up with new ways to present it, not eating it raw like a crazed animal. His latest creation is mixed berry pie topped not with a traditional crust or crumble, but oatmeal raisin cookie dough, rolled into a thin sheet.
Lockhart says the raisins add natural sweetness, and you can squish them into a flat shape a lot easier than chocolate chips. If you're firmly against raisins, sub in cranberries, or leave the fruit out all together.
Click through the slideshow to see exactly how quickly and easily this impromptu dessert comes together. You're going to want to try this at home.

City says 2011 sale of stake in biomass plant violated contract
Published: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 9:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 9:00 p.m.
Gainesville Regional Utilities officials say the company behind the biomass plant violated its contract with the city last year when a part owner sold its stake without offering the city the right of first refusal.
That prevented the city from buying a controlling interest in the plant, officials said Thursday.
GRU will ask the City Commission next week for permission to file an arbitration claim against the Gainesville Renewable Energy Center, the limited liability corporation that the partnership American Renewables formed for the Gainesville biomass plant.
GRU will seek to require GREC to fulfill the part of the contract that allows the city "an opportunity to offer to purchase a controlling interest in the facility," GRU attorney Shayla L. McNeill said in an email on Thursday.
Should the city pursue a controlling interest, that would be a significant change of course from the city's long-standing plans to buy all the plant's output but not own the facility.
It's unclear what the benefit to the city would be.
The city's potential claim involves Kansas-based Tyr Energy Inc.'s late December 2011 sale of its 40 percent share of the plant to Starwood Energy Group Global, a Connecticut private equity firm that focuses on energy projects.
Under the city's 30-year contract to purchase power from the plant, GREC may not sell the plant without providing the city notice and then giving Gainesville a 60-day window to make an offer to purchase.
GREC informed the city on Dec. 27 of Tyr Energy's intent to sell its share and closed the deal on Dec. 30.
"That sale did not comply with the contract," City Commissioner Thomas Hawkins said. "What it comes down to is they have some liability because they didn't follow the letter of the contract."
GRU spokeswoman Katie Weitekamp said Thursday that utility officials did not want to discuss the issue in detail publicly before next Thursday's City Commission meeting.
Al Morales, the chief financial officer of GREC, said company officials "strongly believe" the contract was not violated because Tyr's sale to Starwood Energy did not change ownership of a controlling interest in the plant.
"It did not change the control to trigger any claim under the PPA (power purchase agreement)," Morales said.
He declined further comment.
In January, a GRU spokesperson told The Sun the utility expected "no anticipated impact" from the sale but that GRU's attorney was reviewing paperwork to confirm that.
GRU then "requested additional documentation and information from GREC" but the company has, so far, "failed to provide the requested materials and information," according to the agenda item for the Dec. 20 meeting.
The potential claim for arbitration come as GRU nears the one-year deadline for filing a claim, which looms on Dec. 30.
McNeill's statement did not specifically address questions on what documentation GRU sought from GREC or why the recommendation for arbitration comes close to the legal deadline, except to say that the "timing of the request for arbitration is in full accordance with Florida law."

A WOMAN who has spent years helping others has fallen victim to a scam directed at a charity.
Sally Ellison, chief officer at Worcester Volunteer Centre, was conned out of nearly £3,000 after a man phoned her claiming bailiffs were on their way to the Tything centre to pursue an unpaid debt.
In a bid to protect volunteers, Mrs Ellison paid £2,788 from a personal account but subsequently discovered there was no debt.
Now, she is speaking out to warn others to be on their guard against telephone fraudsters.
Mrs Ellison said: "A man phoned up to say he was a bailiff and they were 40 minutes away.
"They were coming to issue a County Court Judgment against the Volunteer Centre for an invoice which we knew nothing about for £4,788.
"He said they had all the paperwork and he worked for Total Credit Solutions."
The man then told her he had negotiated with the company that was owed the money and the debt would be reduced if it was paid immediately.
She said: "He said we could pay £2,788 but if we didn't pay in ten minutes the bailiffs will come to the door.
"It was really quite threatening.
"I paid £2,788 out of my personal account because I didn't want it to happen to the charity.
"I shouldn't have but I felt threatened and I felt the organisation was being threatened."
Mrs Ellison was convinced the caller was genuine after the man gave her a defunct password which had once been used by the charity.
After paying the money, Mrs Ellison tried to ring the man back but was told he was unavailable.
She realised she had been conned after a check showed there was no County Court Judgment.
Mrs Ellison said: "I wanted him to go away and I was frightened of what would happen.
"He used the password to trap me because I then thought it was genuine.
"I couldn't believe anyone would try and con a volunteer centre."
As well as leading the volunteer centre, Mrs Ellison has spent more than two decades developing services for older and disabled people in Worcester.
Among them is the Worcester Wheels community transport scheme, for which she was awarded an MBE in 2001, a shopping and gardening service and a be-friending service.
She reported the con to West Mercia Police, Action Fraud, a national fraud reporting centre, and her bank.
Detective Sergeant Ruth Conway, of the Economic Crime Unit at the West Mercia force, said: "These kinds of fraud are prevalent and it is a variation on similar scams where someone cold calls you and attempts to extract your bank details from you with a convincing tale.
"However, threatening the imminent arrival of bailiffs on one's doorstep puts added pressure on the victim to pay immediately.
"We all need to take extreme caution about giving personal details to anyone who contacts us unsolicited, no matter where they say they are calling from, including the police.
"If a payment is demanded in this manner, for a debt which you have no knowledge, then we advise you call the police immediately."
A police spokesman said Ms Ellison would be visited by a West Mercia officer at the earliest opportunity.

Loewe Spring 2013
In this oversaturated age, it's not often that you get to introduce something new to an eager audience. Which is part of the reason Loewe creative director Stuart Vevers had so much fun on his tour of California this summer, making appearances at Neiman Marcus in Los Angeles and San Francisco. "People are always looking for the next thing. And even though we're 160-plus years old, we're new to some people," Vevers said of the Madrid-based leather goods house he's guided for nearly five years. "I think Americans are fascinated by the Spanishness of Loewe."
Spain is a tempting country to fantasize about, and Vevers seems to be happily under its spell. He took another trip this summer, north to Cadaqués and the castle of Gala Dalí, Salvador's wife and muse who Vevers had been reading about. "She drove this enormous Cadillac along these cliff edges; she was known for having a voracious appetite for men; she was very idiosyncratic, outspoken, very bold," he said. "It got me thinking about how she might be today and it became a clash of these two worlds: her aristocracy and youthful attitudes with these broad Spanish aesthetics."
The tension between royal and rural played out in a spring collection of stunningly worked leather and suede clothes. Vevers opened with a streamlined and sexy pencil skirt and bra top worn underneath a brown leather and tulle MA-1 flight jacket appliquéd with roses. The play between masculine and feminine was intensely appealing, punctuated by a scarlet lip and severely pulled-back hair. From there, Vevers showed leather sheaths with short sleeves rolled up as well as intricately embroidered, fitted shirtdresses—the few pants moments being high-waisted, full legged, and suede. As for bags, they were predominantly a woven top handle tote inspired by a stair case in Senora Dalí's home and light-colored military-style satchels.
To be sure, there was a lot of leather for a spring collection, even by this season's leather-heavy standards. But, as Vever sees it, to not take advantage of the house's incredibly skilled artisans would be remiss. No leather was left untreated, uncut, unwoven, unembroidered, or untouched by a hint of femininity. The best part, though, may be that they're also lightweight. One of the heaviest pieces, a laser-cut leather trench, weighs 400 grams, he said. That's about as heavy as a can of soda.

I got a shoulder item from moguvaults. I have better already so \o/
I must get my arse in gear and get TOT done this week before the reset.
Very good reset/week in ToT 10 normal. Coined Bad Juju, tier gloves, and the offset agi leather shoulders from one of the bosses. And that's only 6/12 cleared so far (1 HC).
Got my 4pc T15(LFR chest and Reg shoulders), cha-ye's (wooooo for BiS trinket!), and my BiS belt(all normal mode stuff).
Pushed me over 41% crit buffed and almost 60% crit on pyroblast.
Eager to try it out this week and see what kind of numbers I pull now.
Canicus - 577 - Arcane Mage - US Mal'Ganis Horde - 12/14H T16
Yes, LFR has an extremely low drop chance this tier. Overall I looted 3 items till now, only one which I could use (496 -> 502 boots), and usually only 1 (with luck 2) legendary items for the quest.
As for this week: Nalak PvP gloves (disenchanted), LFR 0 items. But I did my first normal run this week, got the ring of the first and the chest of the last boss.
[e] And since you mentioned it: Bonus rolls too have an extremely low chance this tier. I personally only used ~10, obviously no item. The guy who ninjaed me for the normal run this week has had his first item this week on Lei Shen, and used up all bonus rolls since patch.

Last week we got 3 heroic tanking trinkets from Ji-Kun and they were all disenchanted. Pretty much sums up the loot we have.
We got another this week.
Haven't gotten anything in the last few weeks in my raids but gold from bonus rolls if that counts

Demolition progress
Demolition work continues this week at the Pony Express Inn. Jessen Construction of Scottsbluff used a heavy duty pulverizer to crush the cement block as the walls came down. LandMark Implement has reached an agreement to purchase the lot after it is cleared and will use the ground to park inventory. The motel was originally called the Western Motel when it was constructed in the late 1960s. It later became the Western Motor Inn and most recently was called the Pony Express Inn.

Women's Basketball Coaching StaffFlames Home > Women's Basketball Home > Coaching Staff > Coach Detail
Andrea "Andy" BloodworthAssistant Coach
College: Calvin ('98)
Start Date: 5/29/2007
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Andrea "Andy" Bloodworth begins her sixth year as an assistant on the Liberty women's basketball coaching staff. Her responsibilities with the Lady Flames include recruiting, development of the team's perimeter players, scouting and assisting with the organization of summer basketball camps.
Liberty has claimed Big South titles during four of Bloodworth's first five seasons on Liberty Mountain, tallying a 125-39 record in the process.
"It has been a privilege to be a member of the Lady Flames coaching staff the last five years," stated Bloodworth. "We have a tremendous group of young women who are committed to carrying on the tradition of excellence that has been established. Coach Green is a proven winner and it's a blessing to work with such strong role models who live out their faith daily. I'm eager to face the challenges and celebrate the triumphs God has planned for us this year."
Bloodworth previously served as recruiting coordinator for the Valparaiso women's basketball team for two seasons (2005-06 and 2006-07), working with the Crusaders' perimeter players and assisting with scouting. The team went 36-24 during her two seasons as part of the coaching staff, including a 20-win season in 2006-07. Six Crusaders earned All-Mid-Continent Conference recognition during those two seasons.
Prior to her time at Valparaiso, Bloodworth worked for three years on the Gannon women's basketball coaching staff. As an assistant coach, she served as the Golden Knights' recruiting coordinator. Bloodworth also helped develop guard play, coordinated team travel arrangements and assisted with scouting. She was the staff's academic monitor and the team camp coordinator for a squad which won 37 games during her final two seasons and reached the 2005 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title game.
Bloodworth spent the 2000-01 and 2001-02 campaigns as an assistant coach and physical education instructor at Armstrong Atlantic State, under head coach Roger Hodge, himself a Liberty assistant coach from 1997-2000. She helped recruit a class of players which posted a 27-4 record in 2002-03, marking the best single-season turnaround in the NCAA that season (15 games) and qualifying for the postseason for the first time in school history.
Bloodworth's resume also contains a stint as an assistant coach for an Athletes in Action Fall Tour team which played exhibition games around the Midwest in 1999. She was additionally an assistant for the Lake Michigan Community College women's basketball team which placed sixth at the 2000 NJCAA Division II national championships.
Bloodworth got her start in college coaching as an assistant for the 1998-99 Ferris State women's basketball team. The team's head coach was her sister, Tracey Dorow, who is now the head women's basketball coach at Valparaiso.
Her father, Rick Bloodworth, retired in 2006 from a long coaching career, which included 31 years as the head girls' basketball coach at St. Joseph High School in Michigan and 19 years as the head women's basketball coach at Lake Michigan College.
Bloodworth's playing career at Calvin College included a pair of trips to the NCAA Division III regional tournament. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education from Calvin in 1998.
"Andy came to Liberty from a deep-rooted basketball family background, which includes a father and older sister who are both coaches and have had a tremendous amount of influence in shaping her love for the game," remarked head coach Carey Green. "Her energy and enthusiasm made an immediate positive impact on our program. She has established herself as an excellent role model by the caring love she has exhibited to the players."
Bloodworth became an aunt for the first time when Lainie Joy Dorow was born in February 2009 and now has a nephew, Baxter, as well. She resides in Lynchburg with her dog, Honey.

>Health and Nutrition>Recovery/ fractured metatarsal?
Anyone have experience with full recovery from metatarsal fracture? Mine was nearly 8 months ago. Feeling better, but doc says "quit running/buy a bike". My desire is moderate mileage and an occasional Half-Marathon. I am a heavy runner at 6' tall and 190-200 lbs. Hoping to be able to resume normal running. Thanks.
Get off my porch
Get a new dr, hope to ease back to running by week six, according to my dr.
+1. When you are healed you are healed. Gradually, get back at it.
Those who try, fail! Those who do what it takes to succeed, succeed!!
Granted, my injury was 9 years ago...way before I started running, but get a new doc! I had a fractured metatarsal and a crush injury to my foot. I dropped a 50 pound weight on my foot at the gym. I started running a little over a year ago, and have a half marathon under my belt. Good luck!
Faster Than Your Couch!
Depends on whether you had a stress fracture, or an acute injury, and on how it all healed up.
If you had an acute injury, and everything has healed up well, there is nothing to stop you from running, even relatively high mileage, as long as you ease into it gently.
If you had a stress fracture which never healed properly (incomplete fusion), it might make sense to minimize the load on your foot. That said, in this case you might consider reducing even walking, and getting surgery to improve the results (if this has not been tried yet).
If you had a stress fracture which has healed fairly well, or an acute injury which has not healed completely, it can be anything between.
By all means, I'd at least seek a second opinion before making any decisions about it.
I had a bad metatarsal fracture (5th metatarsal) and dislocation of the base joint of my pinkie toe, and a broken toe as well (I had hit a corner on my patio). It took several months to heal, and maybe two or three years until everything was pain-free again, but now I'm running ultra distances without pain.
Run for fun.
I had a third metatarsal fracture last fall. I was running again after about five weeks. I had some discomfort but mostly I was just freaked out.
This is an excellent article (and comments section) on stress fractures, recoveries, and everything in between: http://camilleherron.com/2011/05/11/overcoming-stress-fractures/
Good luck. Eight months is plenty of time for healing. And if you're a runner and you go to a doctor who automatically says don't run, then find another doctor!

I'm not much of a football watcher. In fact, while I attended USC, I made a tidy profit selling my season tickets to fans who didn't have student access to buy them. Oops…was that legal? Never mind.
But even though I don't watch it much, I don't mind going to football parties. I'll just bring the food!
I like a pinwheel sandwich for tailgating or football parties. You can roll it up and eat it as a log, or cut it into pieces for the spiral effect. This one has only four ingredients, and is charmingly named Poor Man's Burrito.
It takes advantage of green Hatch chiles, whose season is just tapering off. If you bought some while they were in stores the last month, be sure to use them in this! Otherwise use an Anaheim chile or any other fresh green chile you favor.
Recipe: Poor Man's Burrito or Tailgate Teasers
Summary: A Hatch chile wrapped up with garlicky cream cheese in a flour tortilla becomes a Poor Man's Burrito. Perfect for tailgating or any party!
- 1 large flour tortilla
- Whipped cream cheese
- Garlic powder
- 1 Hatch chile, roasted, skinned, seeded and cut into strips
- Lay the tortilla flat. Spread lightly with cream cheese. (An offset spatula is a handy tool with which to do this.) Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder. Lay chile strips on top.
- Roll up tightly. Cut in half and place on plate. Enjoy!
Quick notes
The original verbal recipe called for garlic salt, but I found that too salty (the cream cheese has some salt in it), so garlic powder is my preferred sprinkle.
Variations: Tailgate Teasers
To make Tailgate Teasers, cut the burrito crosswise in small pieces and turn them on their side to show the spiral effect.
This was a verbal recipe shared by Robert Schueller from Melissa's Produce, as we were discussing the many charms of Hatch chiles one day. Don't you think recipes passed "over the back fence" are the best? I'm not sure why it's called a Poor Man's Burrito, but it's a catchy name.
Preparation time: 3 minutes
Diet type: Vegetarian
Number of servings (yield): 1
I'm bringing my Poor Man's Burrito to the #SundaySupper virtual Tailgate party. The #SundaySupper team has lots of great suggestions for your tailgating munchies, below. Find something you like and bring it to the game!

(For updated coverage please see: Field test led to Pacific International romaine recall) Pacific International Marketing, Salinas, Calif., voluntarily recalled 19 cases of bulk romaine lettuce July 6 because of possible salmonella contamination.
No illnesses had been reported at the time the recall was issued.
The lettuce was sold at Vons and Pavilions stores in California and Nevada in bulk bins from July 2-4, according to the recall notice. The lettuce heads are banded with a red twist tie with "Safeway" printed on it.
Pacific International officials said in the recall notice that the source of the possible contamination was not immediately known. They issued the recall after tests at the field level showed a positive result for salmonella.
The recall notice states that the bulk romaine was distributed in Pacific International's reusable plastic containers with 15 heads in each container. It has the code 12EASROM182 on the RPCs. The recall is only for bulk romaine distributed in RPCs. No carton or bagged romaine products are included in the recall.

KENT Kauppinen has proved that patience is definitely one of his virtues as he prepares to go into the new season as Chippenham Town's first-choice goalkeeper.
The 22-year-old former Swindon Supermarine man linked up with the Bluebirds in January last year but was forced to bide his time as Ben John occupied the space between the sticks.
Keeper Kauppinen, who lives just minutes away from Hardenhuish Park, even spent time playing out on pitch for Corsham Town in a bid to stay match sharp, with his Chippenham debut not coming until April, but insists that he had no problem waiting in the wings for his opportunity.
"It's the same as football at any level at the end of the day. If a manager brings you in and he sits you on the bench, you sit on the bench," said Kauppinen.
"He's the one who says what you do and you've got to respect that – so obviously I did, luckily enough he gave me a chance, and I took it.
"I knew that Johnsey was doing well when I joined, so he kept his position. I trained, I was patient and I never nagged (Collier), and then they had a run of three or four bad games and Mark said 'here's your opportunity'.
"If I'm sat on the bench for six or seven weeks, I get physically unfit, so I needed to play last season. Mark turned round to me a few weeks in a row and said 'Johnsey will be playing' so I said 'that's fine, so I'll go get my fitness somewhere else, if you're happy for me to play for Corsham'.
"It was a bit of fun really but I won't be doing that this year because I know that score here."
Chippenham's pre-season has also handed Kauppinen plenty optimism over the Bluebirds' chances of a successful season in the Southern League Premier Division.
He said: "I think the lads have done well. We've all gelled really well and been very kitted and strong as a team.
"I think we'll do well and with what we've got, I'd happily say that we could push for top eight. We need to try and get three points on Saturday and hit the ground running."

WOOLWORTHS chairman James Strong would have seen the defeat of Thursday's resolution to put further curbs on its 12,000 electronic gaming machines as a good indication that its poker machine business is yet to dent the company's wholesome image as a family-friendly grocer.
The vote was 97.47 per cent against the resolution that would have limited bets on the pokies in its pubs to $1 a time. The defeat was never in doubt after proxy advisers, and the Australian Shareholders Association, recommended against the resolution put to shareholders in an extraordinary meeting held before Woolworths' annual shareholders' meeting.
Victory was probably never the intent of the investors who convened the meeting, backed by activist group GetUp! That would have required a vote of at least 75 per cent in favour of the resolution and was never on the cards, even before advisers lined up against it.
What they did achieve was to put Woolworths' board under its most intense examination to date to justify why Australia's largest supermarket operator needs to also be our largest owner and operator of poker machines. In fact, Woolworths is arguably the world's largest owner and operator of poker machines via its 75 per cent stake in pubs venture ALH Group.
Whatever the board says in public, it is potentially a damaging association for the company and a distraction from its core business, as one investor told the board.
For more than 90 minutes, Woolworths directors faced questions about its strategy, and calls to acknowledge the ugly side of the poker machine business.
One Sydney mother spoke of her husband taking his life in his despair at his addiction. He played at machines owned and operated by Woolworths' pub business. ''Now you recommend that shareholders vote down these sensible reforms. Before making that decision, I would like to know if you know how many gamblers at your venues have taken their lives?''
Whether fair or not, this is the sort of image that will stick in the minds of consumers, not pleas from Strong that it is unfair for the company to be subject to restrictions that don't apply to other operators.
Or, his point that the ''mishmash of conflicting reports'' had failed to present a coherent strategy on managing problem gambling.
And while Woolworths makes the point that it needs hotel licences in many states to operate its highly successful $6.6 billion liquor business, it is not entirely clear why it then needs to own and operate the poker machines in its hotels.

A few days ago, I was flipping through the TV channels looking for something interesting to watch between football games. Golf just doesn't do it for me. I zoomed past C-SPAN, which can be interesting at times, even if it's also annoying. I was on this channel long enough to hear some Republican congressman whipper-snapper use the term "rogue state."
"What is a rogue state?" I thought to myself. In the eyes of the U.S. government, a rogue state is a government that enjoys a monopoly on violence which refuses to do the bidding of America. Certain governments are not allowed to do what all governments naturally do: make weapons, enforce monopolies, engage in conquest, etc. These governments are referred to as rogue states by the arrogant quacks who run the American machine.
In essence, however, the "good governments" are no worse than the bad ones. They use the same monopoly on violence to drive weaker nations and peoples into submission. A rogue state has simply suffered the misfortune of getting on the bad side of the sanctimonious oligarchs in Washington, DC. Many of these "rogue states" were victims of American baiting and switching. Saddam Hussein, were he still alive, would be able to testify to this.
A more basic question, however, is, What is a rogue? A rogue is a criminal, a thief, gangster, mobster, murderer, etc. So are all governments. They steal the money of innocent civilians under threat of penalty as if the fruits of a man's labor are not his own; force young men into military service as if the bodies of the citizenry are owned by the state; erode private property rights almost to the point of meaninglessness; go on conquest to enforce oil monopolies; and install puppet governments in far away lands against the consent of the people who live there.
In other words, all states are rogue states. To use this term is redundant; it is like saying "yellow canary" or "red cardinal." The politicians get away with it, however, because most of us are unwilling to re-examine the assumptions that were taught to us in school. Recently Sen.Harry Reid claimed that taxation is "voluntary." There should have been protests everywhere, but the remark went nearly unnoticed. If memory serves, not even Matt Drudge took note of it.
The sad part of this whole story of "man's inhumanity to man," as Ronald Reagan called it, is that this kind of violence reigns on the throne of human ignorance and indifference. If even a tithe of the citizenry were wide awake, most of the awfulness we see today wouldn't be happening. This leads to the most sobering lesson of all: Most countries end up with the government they deserve.

Nick Kyrgios is set to rocket up the rankings and become Australia's No.1 player after blasting his way into the third round of the US Open in New York.
But coach Todd Larkham has challenged Kyrgios to "act like the No.1" Australia player and the Canberra prodigy got a dressing down from Pat Rafter and Davis Cup coach Josh Eagle about his on-court professionalism.
Kyrgios beat Andreas Seppi 6-4, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 on Friday morning Australian time in the most emphatic victory of his two-year grand slam career.
He will play Spanish veteran Tommy Robredo for a place in the last 16, but he will almost certainly jump over stalwart Lleyton Hewitt to become Australia's highest-ranked player after the tournament.
A fired-up Kyrgios let his emotions fly in his round-one win against Mikhail Youzhny, picking up three code violations and being one short of disqualification.
But Rafter and Eagle stepped in to help Kyrgios keep a calm head as he continues his captivating grand slam rise.
"The great players don't carry on like he did against Youzhny, but he looked like a professional, top 20 player against Seppi," Larkham said.
"Eagle and Rafter had some good talks to him ... he took that on board. You could see he was more relaxed and he was getting rid of that anger.
"He definitely took on board what they said to him and he was greatly improved; they'll be looking for a similar attitude for the next match.
"We don't know what his ranking will be, but he will be No.1 in Australia. It's a very fast rise, last year he was 20th in Australia. It's a big responsibility and he's got to act like the No.1 as well."
Kyrgios is refusing to put a limit on how far he can advance in the tournament.
World No.18 Robredo is waiting in the next round, which will be played on Monday morning Australian time, and if he wins that the former Daramalan College student will likely square off against world No. 4 and Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka.
"If I play like I played today, just do whatever I can to recover and keep having fun, I can make an impact," Kyrgios said.
Fans flocked to Court 5 to see tennis's new new Kid Dynamite in action, filling every nook and cranny, and he didn't disappoint, jamming down another 22 aces – taking his tournament tally to 48 in six flawless sets – in the near-two-hour clinic.
Kyrgios didn't drop serve once and said he was pumped to have followed up his giant-killing quarter-final run at Wimbledon – where he took down Rafael Nadal and Richard Gasquet – with a last-32 showing in New York.
"It's always a good feeling to win another match at a grand slam, especially new ground for me," he said.
"[I've] never made it past the first round at the US Open main draw. To have gone to the third round, having beaten some quality opponents, feels good."
Robredo beat Roger Federer at the US Open last year and is the 14th seed this year.
Kyrgios battled a bone stress injury in his left arm before the tournament and had to call a medical timeout against Seppi after complaining of a knee injury.
Larkham is adamant the developing 19-year-old has the physical attributes to last five sets if required in the New York heat.
And the Canberra coach believes his star pupil has the power to topple Robredo and go on another giant-killing run.
"It's definitely a winnable match. Tommy is one of the great competitors, but he doesn't have some of the firepower Nick has," Larkham said.
"He makes a lot of balls, but he doesn't have a massive serve. He won't give Nick unforced errors, but to be honest I think it's on Nick's racquet, and his execution will have to be near perfect to beat Robredo."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/1/2013 (1688 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets have made their first public statement since the NHL-NHLPA agreement on a new labour deal.
In a letter signed by CEO Jim Ludlow and senior vice-president Norva Riddell, the team told fans this afternoon it expects ratification of the new labour deal this week, to be followed shortly after by the release of a shortened regular-season schedule.
As well, ticket information for the coming season will be in season-ticket-subscribers' hands shortly.
The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club today issued the following message to our community:
We are extremely pleased that the combined efforts over the past several months between the NHL and the NHLPA have resulted in a tentative agreement on a new 10-year collective bargaining Agreement.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all of our fans, partners, broadcasters, employees and our community for being patient with our organization, the league and the players during the negotiation process that led up to this exciting news.
In the coming days we expect the agreement to be ratified and within the same time frame also expect to receive confirmation of the new 2012-2013 schedule, the commencement date of training camp and the date and time of the Winnipeg Jets home opener at the MTS Centre.
Upon confirmation of the revised 2013 schedule fans can expect to receive, within two business days, their Jets season ticket package via Canada Post. Upon receipt, season ticket holders can log on to MY JETS ACCOUNT for complete account updates.
The Winnipeg Jets will continually provide regular updates to all of our fans as new information becomes available to us. Please refer to our website at www.winnipegjets.com on a regular basis.
On behalf of True North Sports & Entertainment Limited and the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club, we thank you for your patience and look forward to another exciting season of Winnipeg Jets hockey at the MTS Centre and on TSN Jets & TSN 1290 in 2013.

Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2013
There was quite a wait for the Salvatore Ferragamo show to begin. The audience was present, the doors were closed, the photographers baying. In such situations, the mind runs to what might be up backstage. A technical hitch? Something with the models? When the show finally began, it was easy for a woman to jump to conclusions—ah . . . it was the shoe. Or rather, ah . . . the gladiator boots. Each pair was multiply cross-laced in the back, all the way up to the inside of the knee. Various kinds of knee-high summer gladiators are becoming a noticeable feature of the collections. Tom Ford had them in London; they were all over Donatella Versace's runway. Any girl who fancies committing to these will instantly see that strapping herself into them is going to entail a lengthy two-man tussle. Gladiator boots are the footwear equivalent of fall's back-buttoned blouse—a garment which, as much as we love it, requires double-jointed elbows, eyes in the back of one's head, or the assistance of a patient and caring other to put on properly. (Caveat: a male loved one champing to leave for a restaurant is not normally the most enthusiastic recruit for such a task.)
Yet, hush these practical imaginings. It's quite possible that the various strata of international societies Salvatore Ferragamo is reaching these days has no qualms about the availability of on-hand domestic assistance in a dressing crisis. In a nutshell, Ferragamo, with the rise of in-house designer Massimiliano Giornetti, is emerging as the hipper Italian answer to Hermès. It is luxury-class, where maids may be a given. "Emerging" isn't quite the right term here, though, since the Ferragamo family has been at the top of the luxury footwear tree in Italy since Salvatore Ferragamo himself began designing and making glamorous footwear for stars and aristocrats in the twenties. But it's only very recently that the house has weighed in with full-production, glossy runway shows, thus overwriting the impression that its business is only about those famous slip-on ballerinas with faille bows on the toes.
For spring Giornetti displayed the house expertise in leather goods via a modernized equestrian theme, and it worked effectively. It started with a black suede and leather trench and followed through with neatly tailored redingote jackets, short wrapped skirts, and ivory-colored leather coats and varieties of skinny brocade pants. The details, like the intricate saddle stitching in the sides of trousers, spoke of quality and handicraft, while the gold chain necklaces, fastened choker-style, showed a hip knowledge of a breaking spring trend—a high-end version of the metal-chain chokers shown by London's J.W. Anderson and Christopher Kane at Versus. In other words, this house is progressing toward claiming its place as an upscale fashion fixture on the Milan schedule. A full-house attendance of guests from America, Europe, and Asia says it's already well on its way.

He got his money's worth.
Rangers coach John Tortorella knew he messed up as soon as he said the words about the referees and NBC conspiring to try to get the Winter Classic to overtime (see post below for the money quote).
And whether he was being sarcastic (which I believe he was) or serious (doubt it very much), he will pay for it. Or Cablevision will pay for it. Somebody will.
To the tune of a $30,000 fine.
He deserves it, and he was right to apologize. You just can't start questioning integrity of the league or its referees. It's one thing to say they stunk, and they did. To high heaven.
It's another to suggest there was some sort of bias, or that there was something crooked going on (and though we have joked plenty about the NHL's favorites, and the Winter Classic being played by and for the Flyers and their owner Ed Snider and his TV empire, it's mostly joking. Right?).
Here's the official announcement from the NHL:
NEW YORK (Jan. 4, 2012) — New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella has been fined for comments made following Monday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
"There is no acceptable explanation or excuse for commentary challenging the integrity of the League, its officials or its broadcast partners," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "People can disagree with calls by officials on the ice, but even in instances of the utmost frustration there is no justification for speaking as inappropriately and irresponsibly as Mr. Tortorella did."

Abortion voters a real factor, contends Director of Elliot Institute who stated "At least one of every four women voters has had an abortion, and most of these women consider it to be an ugly, painful memory," he said. "Most have many regrets about their abortions, even if they believe it to have been their 'only choice'. This is why they don't support the radical agenda of pro-abortion special interest groups. They've been there, done that, and hated it." The poll shows 67 percent of pro-choice women stated they would be "more likely to vote for a candidate who calls for government support for grief counseling programs to assist women who experience emotional problems after an abortion." www.WorldNetDaily.com January 28th, 2004
Editorial Comment: If the anti-abortion lobby wants to win the fight, they'll have to see the link between abortion and evolution and aim to get rid of both or they'll fail.

Geek Girl: How to Sell a Haunted House!
Star Trek tweets, asteroid visits, Ridley Scott's on TV. Yup, we're excited.
-Lucia Peters and PJ Gach
It's been an interesting week in Geek Girl-dom. Star Trek stil lives (did you ever doubt it would?), famed director Ridley Scott is coming to the small screen and we found solution to Apple issues and more!
Read on for all the news!
@TNG_S8 Is My New Favorite Twitter
Why is it my new favorite Twitter? Because @TNG_S8 specializes in plots from the unaired 8th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. You see, ST: TNG holds a special place in my heart; watching it was a family event in my house when I was growing up, so anything about it immediately makes me go into nostalgia mode. And that includes this Twitter.
Of course, the best part about it is that these plots were unaired because they're completely and totally fake. That's right: ST: TNG didn't have an unaired 8th season, so these are all the result of some clever Trekkie capable of distilling possible plotlines for a non-existent season down to 140 characters at a time. Some of them actually sound like pretty believable episodes, like this one:
Others, however, are a bit more… shall we say, fanciful. Like this one:
And this one:
Though somehow, Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) learning to play hockey makes complete sense. The Daily What Geek jokingly brought up the possibility of @TNG_S8 eventually going the route of @shitmydadsays and getting its own sitcom, which might in turn cause Trekkies' heads to explode; but I don't know. It's not like the plots on @TNG_S8 are any weirder than those in some of the Trek books William Shatner wrote!
Ridley Scott's Coming to TV!
Speaking of science fiction, Ridley Scott, the director whose iconic films include Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator is hosting the Science channel's new series, Prophets of Science Fiction. This 8 week extravaganza explores the relationship of science fiction authors like Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Mary Shelly and their uncanny ability to predict technological breakthroughs. Be prepared to be wowed on November 9 at 10 pm ET.

How to Sell a Haunted House (A Lesson in Real Estate)
Have you been watching American Horror Story on FX? I have. After four episodes, I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it… but I keep watching it anyway, so there must be something to it. Anyway, for the uninformed, American Horror Story is a modern take on the haunted house tale, which (thankfully) includes the family living in the haunted house wanting to move out as soon as possible. However, they can't just up and leave because pretty much all of their assets are tied up in the house, leaving them with a very practical conundrum: Selling the house.
The family's real estate agent has brought up periodically that she's required by law to disclose the unique "issues" with the house. And guess what? In some states, it's true: In addition to disclosing any physical problems with a property, you're also required to come clean about any "emotional defects" regarding the place as well. The amount of information about those "emotional defects" you're required to disclose, however, can vary. In Virginia, you only need to reveal things like murders that happened on the property or ghost sightings if they physically affect the property. In California, where American Horror Story takes place, you're only obliged to inform buyers about a death on the property if it occurred less than three years prior to the sale. In New York, however, you must absolutely disclose anything and anything that could be deemed a potential defect—even if it's something like a haunting.
Note to self: Don't buy a haunted house in New York State—getting rid of it may be more trouble than it's worth!

Useful Gadgets for Your Everyday Life: Twelve South's PlugBug
Are you an Apple devotee? If you are, then you're probably often faced with the following conundrum: How on earth are you supposed to be able to charge all your Apple devices at once? After all, there are only so many outlets one can take over.
But guess what? The answer is here, thanks to the Apple accessory wizards at Twelve South! Twelve South calls their ingenious little invention the PlugBug. An attachment for any normal MacBook power brick, the PlugBug is equipped not only with a two-prong outlet, but also with its very own powered 10-watt USB port—into which you can plug your iPhone's or iPad's USB cable, enabling you to charge your MacBook and your other Apple device from the same outlet. Even better, the powerful 10w USB port on the PlugBug ensures the fastest charge possible for your iPhone or iPad. How's that for multitasking?
Check it out in action in the video below. The only question left is, why didn't someone think of this sooner?
Asteroids Aren't Visiting, But No Prezzies!
We're not talking about the game, an asteroid, or more accurately the asteroid known as YU55, is swinging by the earth for a fly-by. Since it's going to be 201,700 miles away from Earth, if it waves at us, we won't be able to see it.
Scientists aren't troubled by the relative nearness of the asteroid's swinging through our orbit. Even though the visit won't include any cool hostess gifts, they're excited. As Marina Brozovic, a scientist and member of the JPL Goldstone radar team, told The LA Times, "We know exactly where it is going to be, and we don't have any chance of impact for the following hundred years." She continued on to say, "It is just a great scientific opportunity. It is really, really exciting."

I'm baaaaack! You didn't know I was gone? I took a road trip this weekend to Arizona. My hubby bought us tickets to see a Los Angeles Dodger's spring training game versus the Angels. Since my mother-in-law lives out there we decided to make it a family weekend.
Yes, I am a true blue Dodger fan. We had the best seats ever!! Right behind the Dodger dugout. I drooled over all the hotties…like Andre Ethier (below) and I took some really good pics. I even saw Dodger legend Tommy Lasorda and the hubby got a ball autographed by Joe Torre. (Thanks to his sister) If you're not a sports fan, then you have no idea what I'm talking about and how awesome this game was. Even though we lost and I had to hand a verbal beating to a smack-talking Angels fan! Lol…I don't believe in violence. But, this girl was being super annoying and she started it!
Anyways, we went out to Sedona and I fell in love. It is so beautiful there. We just got back about an hour ago. I'm pooped. I really missed you lovely ladies!!


text: Professor of Geology On Faculty since 1986 Phone: (630)752-5866 Email: email@example.com Education PhD, Geology, Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1978 MS, Geology/Geophysics, Univ. of Kentucky, 1975 BS, Geology, Florida State Univ., 1973 About Jeffrey Greenberg Dr. Greenberg has served on Wheaton's faculty for over thirty years. He is married and the father of five children, the older four being adopted. His prior employment was with the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey in Madison. Courses Taught First Year Seminar Physical Geology Structural Geology Mineralogy Petrology/Petrography Chemistry of the Earth Physics of the Earth Theories of Origins Appropriate Technology and the Environment Field Geology Environmental Geology in the Field Senior Seminar Membership in Professional Societies Geological Society of America (Fellow) Affiliation of Christian Geologists Association of Geoscientists for International Development National Association of Geology Teachers Geological Association of Canada (Fellow) American Scientific Affiliation (Fellow) Junior Teacher of the Year, Wheaton College (1991) Phi Beta Kappa Research Greenberg's research interests are very broad and have shifted from igneous petrology and tectonics to applied geophysics and geochemistry, Precambrian continental development, and more recently to the relevance of geoscience to issues in international community development. He began investigative work with undergraduate studies of ultramafic rock bodies in the southern Appalachians. This interest matured into a master's thesis project at the University of Kentucky utilizing geophysical and structural analysis of a region in south-central Virginia. While at UK, he completed various surveys of the gravity fields over counties and igneous rock-bodies. His doctoral studies at the University of North Carolina included thesis work on the suite of "Younger Granites" in the Eastern Desert of Egypt as well as a research assistantship cataloguing the potential of uranium resources in crystalline rocks of the eastern U.S. He also served as a cooperating petrographer for Ebasco consultants investigating the characteristics of andesitic volcanic rocks from the western Philippines. Greenberg's post doctoral activities in Wisconsin continued to focus on investigations of igneous geology and the tectonics of complex crystalline terranes. Over an eight-year tenure with UW, he added a public-policy component to his work and produced several geologic maps of northern Wisconsin. Also, he is coauthor of the Wisconsin state bedrock geology map. Before leaving Wisconsin for Wheaton College, Greenberg undertook responsibility for state consultation on matters of natural-resource issues. His teaching duties in Wisconsin were few, including some lecturing to undergraduates at UW and Edgewood College and seminar/research advising of graduate students. While on staff at Wheaton College, Greenberg found it necessary to change emphasis from research to teaching, institutional service, and administration. He has taught twenty-one different courses at various times over the sixteen years. In addition to Department Chair, he has twice chaired the Faculty Development Committee, sat on Faculty Council, advised the student Earthkeepers and Voice For Life groups, and established the college's Environmental Science degree program. Efforts in "scholarship" have included a scaled-down project with the origin of granites (article published in a Special Paper of the Geological Association of Canada and leadership in a field conference for the International Geological Correlation Project). He retains a keen interest in the full natural and human scope of Florida's Everglades. This area is seen as a tremendous case study of the interaction among many aspects of Creation. In 1993, Greenberg made a study of the Everglades system as the heart of his sabbatical leave. Other writing projects have emphasized geoscience education, issues of faith and the environment, and issues of faith and sciences. Various investigative activities with students include supervision of HNGR (Human Needs and Global Resources program) interns on natural-resource projects, study problems in the South Dakota Black Hills (geologic mapping of complex metamorphic terranes, petrography of basaltic sill magmas, and provenance analysis of heavy-mineral suites from stream sediment), analysis of clay mineral components from Yucatan pottery, and investigation of geologic conditions around two Superfund sites in northern Illinois. All of these studies have been presented in one form or another at meetings of professional scientists. Most recently Greenberg has supervised outreach-research projects for Geology majors in South Africa and Tanzania. He is Editor-author for a Geological Society of America book on Geoscience for the Public Good and International Development (2016), and Editor-author for a future book encouraging Science vocations among Christians. Greenberg is a member of a local evangelical church in Wheaton, where he is a member of the Missions Committee. He is quite interested in the application of earth-science knowledge in missions and community development work. He has been a frequent guest instructor for YWAM (Youth With a Mission) at their University of the Nations base in Kona, Hawaii.
