Ten candidates have raised more than $20,000 each for contested primary races in Kanawha County's 35th, 36th, and 37th House of Delegates districts, according to pre-primary campaign finance disclosures filed with the secretary of state's office.
That's topped by $44,574 raised by Republican Chris Stansbury, a Charleston optometrist making his first run in the 35th District.
Stansbury reported raising $5,625 during the March 29-April 27 reporting period, with no contributions in excess of $500. He reported total expenses of $22,540, and a balance of $21,027.
Expenses in the reporting period included $5,000 to New Strategies Consulting of Houston, and $600 to West Virginia Radio Corp.
Stansbury was closely followed in the 35th by Delegate J.B. McCuskey, R-Kanawha, who has raised $43,340, including $24,825 during the reporting period.
McCuskey reported maximum $1,000 contributions from the DuPont Good Government PAC, First Energy PAC, Realtor Vicki King McLaughlin, Alpha Natural Resources PAC, West Virginia Bankers Association PAC, and Dorothy Bailey of San Antonio, Texas.
He raised $2,600 at an April 8 fundraiser in Bridgeport, $7,915 at an April 12 cookout in Charleston, and $2,075 at a Happy Hour event at Bar 101 on April 25.
McCuskey has had $9,879 in expenses, and has a balance of $32,802.
Delegate Eric Nelson, R-Kanawha, has raised $37,475 in his 35th District reelection bid, including $16,250 during the reporting period.

I need to know what type of footwear to use for walking through a foot of snow and still being warm and comfortable.
do most people buy special boots? or do people just wear their normal hiking type shoes that people wear for disc golf?
JR wrote:Mark, there is a problem using just sneakers with waterproof socks. Three if you count the shoes getting wet from the inside from the snow and losing durability and gaining smell. A shoe without any ankle support is dangerous to your health running in snow that is higher than the top of the shoe. If you're unlucky and the snow is hard where you should pivot but the shoe has dived into softer snow even lower snow is enough to twist the ankle. So for those with ankle injuries an ankle brace is a must for injury prevention. I'm not so sure if those fabric based braces are enough. It's one week from mildly twisting my ankle with a high top hard shoe that supported my ankle enough not to break running in 6" snow planting heel facing the target and the snow didn't give way. Ouch after a field driving session and normal life the ankle still hurts a bit. In the field training session i used sneakers for the first time ever in the snow now that i have Sealskinz. Ouch time all the way -luckily mild. I didn't have a brace with me and now i wish i did. I'm not sure if i can even fit the brace in the Sealkinz i have. I need to buy a larger one probably but i had troubles fitting into the shoe without a brace already so that may need to change as well grrr... And i have a heavy duty brace that is even larger and more restricting.
I need to test different warming setups and braces with Sealskinz liner or no liner combos in different temps to see what's what. I'm afraid i need to spend more money. There is a big but in that using a brace further limits mobility of the ankle reducing D. I imagine that is less than with a high top shoe though. Then there is the option of not planting so far away from the target and accepting that kind of D loss to protect the ankle. Unfortunately i did that last winter and i still had abruptly stopped pivots when the shoe hit ice and that twisted my ankle painfully. I have an almost broken in two tendon in the ankle so my pain indication is set on high sensitivity compared to healthy players. According to my doc i still need two years for pain free regular exercising and seven years to getting pain only from hard exercises. And a life time ban on heavy lifting. That's kinda ok because my previously busted arm already prohibits that and so does a back injury. Joy. So this comes from somebody who has walked miles bare footed in broken glass -give me my shoes back and walk the miles barefooted yourself if you want to ahem step in my shoes. I wouldn't recommend that. One stepped throws with little toe angle away from the target limiting D bad ain't what i call a solution. That's driving with one arm tied behind your back. You have to decide which gear works for you, what kinds of run up you take with how many steps and how far you are willing to plant the toes away from the target according your willingness to get winter time D at a risk to your health.
I need to test a lot and draw conclusions later once i get enough data. If that means getting new gear i need to retest and hopefully by then the gear ain't a limiting factor and allows me to gain enough security and D to play well in the winter and not prohibit me from playing at full tilt the coming summer -or ever. My doc said that this being my first tendon injury i may get to 70-80% of previous tendon strength and durability but damage it one more time and that's all she wrote. Then it's gonna be brittle, weak and break easily again and often a start to a vicious circle. No way i'm gonna be able to play my home course well after that with natural tees and being built around ski jumping hills. Too steep inclines for a busted ankle to climb. I like elevation changes in a DG course so i don't want to risk my enjoyment. All the best courses i've played except Disc Golf Terminalen have lots of altitude variation. It would be stupid to risk not being able to play on those nice courses.
cmlasley wrote:I'm in Waterloo, so I know the sort of snow we get around here. I can usually play fine and comfortable all winter in a pair of hiking boots with smartwool socks, and the exact gaiters that what'shisname posted.
For the February Tourist tourney, there are usually big puddles of icy water on the course, and I have to go to a heavier waterproof boot.
what'shisname wrote:I wear some lightweight winter boots that have a catch on the toe for Gaiters. I sometimes throw on some yak trax too, but I'm currently looking for a better option. My pair that I bought new last season has a couple weak spots in the rubber already.
It's easy to use the boot alone, with the gaiters and/or the yak trax and you have all your different winter conditions covered, still have all the mobility you need and my feet never get cold or wet.
This is the 3rd season for my Merrill's and they're still in great shape.
The Gaiters I use are like this but they have a quick clips instead of the buckles.

Massive Monarch Migration Pushes Through Texas With Passing Cold Front
AUSTIN, Texas — The cold front that blew through Texas on October 13 pushed many thousands of monarch butterflies south towards their overwintering destination in central Mexico.
"Thousands of monarchs were reported from many locations through the central latitudes of Texas Thursday afternoon and Friday morning" said Mike Quinn, an entomologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "The front brought a little bit of rain and a whole lot of monarchs!"
The monarch butterflies were initially reported from a wide band stretching from Sonora to Somerville Lake. Since then, scientists say butterflies have been pouring through Del Rio and Eagle Pass where one observer estimated 500 migrating monarchs per minute. The butterflies are best seen by using binoculars as monarchs frequently migrate at higher than 1,000 feet above the earth.
"A large fall monarch migration is always welcome news," said Quinn, who noted that this summer's monarch population was reported by many observers to be near record numbers. "Insect populations can change quickly both up and down," said Quinn, "as seen with the snout butterflies erupting twice this summer and fall across south Texas and with the occasional monarch die offs in Mexico which last happened in January 2004."
Female monarchs can lay 400 or more eggs when conditions are favorable, as they were this summer across most of northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada. Quinn says this illustrates how the monarch, like most insects, has great recuperative powers.
Environmental conditions were particularly favorable in the northeastern portion of the monarch's summer breeding grounds. This region probably spawned the massive monarch congregation found last week in Southeastern Arkansas. One wildlife biologist estimated the butterflies roosting there at 100,000 strong. This is one of the largest monarch roosts reported in the last few years. These monarchs should be headed down the Gulf Coast in coming days, providing a good show for coastal residents.
The annual monarch population benchmark is determined by the amount of forest acreage the butterflies occupy on their over-wintering grounds in Michoacan, Mexico each December. The Mexican biologists who work on the population estimate generally release their findings in February, just before the monarchs head back to Texas.
Quinn says it's amazing that the monarchs now passing south through Texas are the very same individuals that will re-cross the Rio Grande five months from now in mid March! With luck, they'll come back strong next spring!
For more information on monarch butterflies, see the Monarch Watch Web site.

Things are about to start heating up.
The speakers examined the scientific evidence for climate change, the impact this could have on the future and the steps that can be taken to assuage it. Robert Oglesby, a professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at UNL, said after considering all the factors, the one that is the cause for most alarm in Nebraska is the reduction of snowpack in the Rocky Mountains.
We need that steady release of water due to the slow, steady melt of the snow in the spring through early summer to maintain river flow of the Platte, Oglesby said.
Song Feng, of the School of Natural Resources at UNL, offered a study into the effect droughts have had in the United States and the likelihood of their continuation in the future.
The drought will become the normal condition by the end of the century, Feng said.
From 1980-2011, $195 billion in damage from 16 droughts has been amassed in the U.S., with an average damage cost of about $12 billion. This years drought in the Midwest has cost $30 billion.
Adam Liska of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture explained the ramifications of sea- level rise. The first ice-free arctic in likely 800,000 years could be possible by 2030-37. Four to six meters of ocean are expected to rise somewhere in the next 100-300 years, which will sink portions of Florida. Record rainfall in some areas of the nation has caused expensive and destructive flooding.
Everythings connected in this world, Liska said. Climate change that goes on elsewhere in that region has tremendous impact on us.
Its not all bad news, though. Changes in habits and regulation could curtail an otherwise unwelcome forecast.
Duane Hovorka, the executive director of the Nebraska Wildlife Federation, said making efficient energy a top priority could help save the environment.
According to an example Hovorka derived from the Rocky Mountain Institute, 80 to 90 percent of energy could be reliably derived from wind, solar and new gas efficiencies by 2050. Therefore, at the same or less cost than being used today, America could achieve advances in reducing greenhouse gases and provide reliable energy.
Human beings can be the solution. And we have to be the solution, Hovorka said. Its up to us. We can do it with current technology
We dont need magic.
Liskas data supported that view. He noted that oil demand by 2025 can drop by 50 percent with new breakthroughs in energy efficiency coupled with biofuels. Global energy could be reduced by 73 percent when utilizing vehicles like the Volkswagen Xl1, which achieves approximately 250 miles per gallon.
Currently, Nebraskas plan for the future isnt quite up to par with Hovorkas standards. He said the states 20-year plan is to continue running coal plants, increase wind power by 10 percent and make modest investments in efficiency, even though the state will need 28 percent more power in 20 years than we have today.
If you add these things together, there are opportunities, he said. We can do this in Nebraska. But its not blind hope; its hope through action.

" Hurst Street, Birmingham b5 4tb. "
One thing I do like about where I live is that both Birmingham and Wolverhampton are within very easy reach via train meaning I have easy access to a good number of venues hosting a varied range of live events. One of these venues I have been to a fair few times is The Birmingham Hippodrome, my most recent visit being last night to see the hilarious Kevin Bridges.
The Hippodrome is located in Birmingham's city centre and is just a ten minute walk from New Street Train Station (which is pretty much a walk down a straight road, turn left, a walk down another straight road). There are a good number of bus stops around the venue as well as a car park a few minutes' walk away meaning it's an easy place to get to regardless of your method of travel. The downside to the location of this venue is the fact that there are a number of nightclubs surrounding it meaning coming out of the venue late at night usually leads to bumping into one or two dodgy drunken characters! There have been a few occasions when I've been stood outside this place having a cigarette when a woman on her own has asked to stand with me which pretty much sums up how safe this area feels at night!
Fortunately, The Hippodrome isn't the type of place where you end up stood in a queue outside waiting for doors to open. There are a number of bars and restaurants within the building which tend to open early afternoon meaning if you arrive at the venue an hour or so before the show starts then you can just go inside, sit down and wait. One thing I like about this venue is that I don't recall ever being searched on my way in so I've had no problems taking in bottles of Pepsi and my own nibbles which saves you a fair bit of money.
Upon stepping inside this huge, glass fronted building you're greeted by a spacious room where a ticket collection desk is located as well as a number of members of staff who will assist you if required. There's a couple of steps which then take you to the first bar area of the venue as well as stair cases leading up to the higher levels of the building and a lift if one should be needed. This area is what I refer to as 'the holding pen'. Littered with tables and soft, red velvet seats, this is where everyone gathers before entering the performance area. There is normally a sign around this area too which informs everyone what the time the performance you're here to see will finish which is a handy bit of information.
Toilets are easily located wherever you are in the building it seems which is a good job really considering each toilet block only has around ten cubicles within it. Whilst this does mean it's quite easily possible to spend the entire interval at a show waiting for the loo (on one occasion I didn't actually manage to get in until the show had started again) the toilets are at least in a clean and respectable condition constantly. They always smell fresh, are stocked up with toilet roll and hand wash and have modern hand dryers so you're not waiting forever and a day for your washed hands to dry. The sanitary product dispensing machine in the toilets is remarkably cheap as well. I have a strange habit of looking at these things to see where charges the most outrages prices for a tampon for some reason, they're only 40p here!
When the show is about to start you're taken to your seats in the 1935 seater venue. Seats are in two sections, stalls (ground floor) and middle circle (first floor). The seating is on the middle circle is quite steep and from past experience I'd say if you can't get anything closer than row L in the stalls then you'll probably have a less restricted view up in the middle circle. In fact, unless seats are available in the first five or so rows in the stalls I normally opt for the middle circle as I just find the seats better. Disabled seating is offered on the front row of the middle circle and there are steps leading up to the rest of the rows. I find the seats are comfortable and offer plenty of leg room for me however if you're over 6ft you'll probably spent the evening with your knees touching the seat in front of you up in the middle circle. There are always members of staff on the doors entering the seating area who will help you locate your seats although as long as you're in the right bit (stalls or middle circle) you'll probably be able to work that out for yourself as each row is clearly lettered and each seat clearly numbered.
Seats are, again, covered in red velvet whilst the white high ceilings offer some lovely engravings and big, extravagant looking golden chandeliers and the inside is just generally very pleasant a little bit posh looking. All seats are obviously facing the decent sized stage which offers a swift moving curtain for non-fuss setting changes during plays and the likes. Lightening here always goes hand in hand with the performance you're watching and I've never experienced a problem with sound in this venue either. In general, it's a good venue which offers an enjoy surrounding to what a, hopefully, enjoyable show.
The Hippodrome hosts a number of shows from stand-up comedy to ballet, opera, musicals and dance shows. Full listings of upcoming shows can be found on their website www.birminghamhippodrome.com and packages can be often be bought for each show combining three course dinners and show tickets. The venue also has a few box seats which can be bought (at a high price) too.
All in all, I recommend visiting the Hippodrome for an entertaining night out. Should a show I attend here ever disappoint me it's purely down the show rather than the venue so I never have a problem visiting here and always keep an eye out on their website for new listings which may interest me.
Birmingham Hippodrome is the only major theatre that I have attended and I think it's fabulous. I go to see musical productions there once a year, and have done so for the past 3 or 4 years so my review will mainly be based on musical productions.
As one of the major theatres in the country, all of the big name touring productions always do a run at the Hippodrome. In the past few years, they have been the stage to Cats, High School Musical, Les Miserables, Joseph, The Sound of Music and many more.
Having never been to the West End, I am still very satisfied with the level of professionalism of the productions held here at Birmingham.
The theatre itself is located in the city centre of Birmingham, within walking distance of New Street Station and the Bullring Shopping Centre. I have to say that street sign directions can get a little hazy but it shouldn't be too difficult to find your way there.
I was a little worried when I first went there because I figured it would be difficult to find my way around, but it was definitely not. As soon as you walk in, there is usually a stand at the stand which is selling souvenirs for that particular production. Further up the steps is the reception area. And further on from that, there are clear signs telling you which each section is. A quick look at your theatre ticket should easily guide you the right way.
There are 2 main sections to the theatre: Stalls and Circle. I personally prefer to be sitting front Circle as I think it gives the best view but some may prefer to be closer to the action by sitting on Stalls. The seats are very comfortable. If I remember correctly, the seats are a furry purple material. Each row is slightly more elevated than the row before, and I think that it is extremely rare to have your view blocked by someone in front of you unless they are very tall. The seats are all very well positioned and there is plenty of leg and arm space.
Prices tend to vary a lot with each production, and depending on where you sit. Seats with better views are obviously going to require a higher price, but I think it's worth it. I advise people to avoid corner seats because I found out last year that sometime the actors/actresses move into one corner, which means that you can't see them at all. Very frustrating.
Food can be taken into the theatre although it's hardly the cinema so there are usually more people without food than with. I personally prefer to just buy food and drink during the 20 minute break and consume it within then.
Overall, a very good theatre which I thoroughly intend to visit for as long as I still live near the area.
Last night I was fortunate enough to attend a showing of Les Miserables at the Birmingham Hippodrome theatre. I was really impressed, not just with the performance but with the theatre itself as well, and so I thought it deserved a review!
The theatre is situated in the centre of Birmingham and is easily arrived at by car by following the signs to Theatres or City Centre. You can park in various places, including a car park at the Arcadian Centre which is literally a few feet away. We parked in the multi-storey car park on Pershore Street which was about a four or five minute walk away and very easy to find. It cost around £2.50 for a full evening's parking which I thought was very good value.
If you are arriving by public transport then you can easily get a bus, or if you take the train to New Street Station you will find it to be only a short walk from there. Obviously taxis can drop you right by the theatre!
The theatre is really well equipped for food. There are two restaurants and a bar in the theatre itself, although these have quite high prices and didn't look particularly special. Next door to the theatre is a Chinese restaurant and a few feet away is the Arcadian centre with a choice of Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Latin American restaurants, many of which feature cheap set meals and pre-theatre options. So you really are spoilt for choice with dining options!
Inside the building, the lobby areas and stairs are very modern and attractive which is probably due to the recent refurbishment. There are bars or food and drink kiosks on each floor for use before the performances or during the intervals.
The theatre itself is very nice. The chairs are comfortable and not too narrow, and although there is not a massive amount of leg space I have definitely been in theatres with less! There is a stalls area and a large circle area, plus a few private boxes which can be hired for a price!
We sat at the very back of the theatre, on the back row where the cheapest seats are, and our view was still good. The stage wasn't obstructed at all and although we were too far back to distinguish facial expressions, we saw everything else very well. So I would say if those were the cheapest seats then the view from the more expensive ones would probably be excellent!
I only spoke to a couple of staff within the theatre but found them to be smiling and very helpful, so I have no complains there. The only problem with the theatre was that the toilets were a bit limited and I had to queue for around ten minutes during the interval. There seemed to be four women's toilet cubicles on the top floor which wasn't really enough.
The theatre runs all sorts of shows including ballets, comedy, musicals, opera and dance shows. Musicals are my favourite and coming up in the next few months are performances of Blood Brothers, Hairspray, The Sound of Music and Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat, so there's certainly a good array of shows planned. Tickets tend to range from around £17 for the cheaper seats to around £50 for the best seats, although boxes will cost more if you wish to hire them.
I would recommend this theatre because of its excellent location, the ease of access, the food options available nearby and the pleasant atmosphere and level of comfort inside. For more information or to book tickets, you can visit the Hippodrome's website which is extensive and informative.
I hope this was helpful and has encouraged anyone who lives nearby to attend a performance here!
Birmingham Hippodrome
My earliest memories of Birmingham Hippodrome are as a child. My mum would take me every year to see the Christmas pantomine. It was an exciting time. As a child it was a special place, where everything seemed big, exciting and luxurious. High ceilings, engravements on the walls and exciting shows to watch. It was like a palace to me back then, with the big curtains to the stage and the deep colours of thick carpets, and seats. We'd always take lots of sweets and l can never really remember a time where we were disatisfied with the show.
I must admit l have a particular preferance towards musicals. So when ever a musical comes round to Birmingham l am drawn to go and see them. There are several theatres in Birmingham, but l have to admit the hippodrome is my favourite. Its such a lovely building which really makes your experience so much better.
The Hippodrome is located in central Birmingham, on Hurst street.
In 2001 there was a major redevelopment which cost over 35m.
I am sure this has made for an even better experience, but l can honestly say that the hippodrome has remained with its character and is much the same as l remember it as a child.
Newstreet station is nearby and the theatre is easily located by car with lots of nearby carparking.
For more information on directions visit the website at
You can buy tickets online where you can choose your seats or you can ring on 0844 338 5000 or even go into the theatre to buy tickets.
Booking online is so easy and convenient just be aware that you have to pay a booking fee, which can add quite a bit to the ticket price, lm sure this applies when you phone to book too, although l usually book online because its so convenient.
There are always plenty of shows available, some of the shows l have seen are blood brothers, Fame and grease. All of which l have loved. Every show l have been to has been high quality, with good sounds and sets on stage.
There is a bar and a place to buy snacks. The toilets are clean and the whole place is generally clean.
The theatre is on two levels, bottom and top. The way it is layed out means l think you would struggle to be seated somewhere you wouldnt be able to see, however l do prefer to be closer to the front, but of course you pay the extra for this.
Ticket prices arent exactly cheap, but l think they are pretty much average to other venues.
There are usually several showings a day too, so if your trying to cut costs you can do this by going at different times of the day.
I will continue to visit the hippodrome, for its great experience, its easy to reach location and its high quality shows.
I recommend you visit the website, which as noted earlier is
Have gone to shows here since I was a child must have gone at least 15 times over the years! Its ideally located in the centre of Birmingham just a short walk from New Street station, bus stops as well as having a car park a few mins walk away as well as taxis on the corner of Hurst St.
The seats are comfortable and spacious. I have sat in all different areas of the circle and stalls and can honestly say you get a good view from everywhere. The two most recent shows I have gone to were Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Aladdin both were amazing and could not fault any part of the experience. I have booked up tickets to this years Christmas show of Robin Hood with John Barrowman and intend on getting some for next summers show of We Will Rock You.
The car park for the Hippodrome is not too expensive but is a nightmare to get out of after the show. Firstly I would pre pay as the queue after is very long but even that does not save you much time in getting out if you park on the bottom floor! The queue of cars to get out can take ages, I was unfortunate last time in arriving later than I had in the past and parking on the bottom floor and it took me over an hour once I had got back into my car to get out of the car park!
The Birmingham Hippodrome- the 'Old Lady' of Hurst Street- built in 1899 is currently closed for major refurbishment thanks in no small part to a rather hefty £29.3 million lottery grant. This money will be used to transform the exterior of the theatre into a magnificent glass-fronted structure that will dominate the skyline. This is a joint venture between the Hippodrome, Birmingham Royal Ballet and the DanceXchange and the new three-storied building will feature a massive dance studio, a dedicated dance injury centre and a small studio theatre with a capacity of 200 or so. There will also be an all day cafe to chill out in, several bars and a more open-plan interior with much improved access for disabled patrons. The good news for purists is that the Hippodrome's auditorium will remain sacrosanct except for a much needed reupholstery of the seating and the removal of most of the restricted view box seats. The already huge stage will be increased in proportion, as will the orchestra pit. The upshot of these changes is that Birmingham will have a truly world-class venue for live theatre to rival anything in London. Peter Tod, the theatre director, has already announced that Miss Saigon will be amongst the first shows to grace the next stage in the summer of 2001. The theatre is due to re-open beween March-May 2001 with the Birmingham Royal Ballet performing the world premiere of Arthur Part II, the brain-child of Artistic Director David Bintley and based upon the Arthurian Legends. If you are interested in any of the forthcoming productions in the new theatre or would like to learn more about the Hippodrome's fund-raising 'Name a Seat' programme then please dial 0121 689 3000 for further information. UPDATED 24/4/01 The Theatre is now due to re-open on September 11 due to some technical hitches with the massive building project. I have been on a tour of the new site already and can honestly say that the Birmingham H
ippodrome will rival any venue in the country for entertainment and facilities. Once the building is complete and the forthcoming attractions are announced (and I can guarantee there are some real corkers!), then Birmingham will finally be able to boast a theatrical venue of truly world-class standard.

The all things strange and weird Boing Boing blog had an interesting article yesterday talking about Audiophile recordings. SACD, DVD-A, and 5:1 surround re-releases could all be going the way of the Dodo bird. Heck even CDs are on their way out. Are we going to be left with only one option? The craptastic MP3?
I've personally never heard an SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) or DVD-A but I do know my old vinyl collection sounds superior to my MP3s. Surely we can't let all our high quality options disappear. I always assumed that when broadband adoption and hard drive space became readily available we would see online music retailers offer lossless formats. So far that hasn't happened.
"Super Audio CD (SACD) is a read-only optical audio disc format that can provide higher fidelity digital audio reproduction than the Red Book audio CD. Introduced in 1999, it was developed by Sony and Philips Electronics, the same companies that created the Compact Disc. SACD is in a format war with DVD-Audio, but neither format has managed to replace regular audio CDs." – Wikipedia.org
Richard Metzger over at Boing Boing thinks we should run out and start collecting SACD and DVD-A's. Personally I don't think we should encourage more plastic production. We should demand higher quality digital downloads. There are only a few options available today. MusicGiants.com offers "High Definition Music Collections".
"MusicGiants, the leader in high definition entertainment, aims to deliver the highest quality entertainment experience possible. Still the only digital music service licensed in HD from all of the major music labels…" – MusicGiants.com
We really need iTunes and Amazon to get on board otherwise large portions of the human's music canon will end up only available in MP3 format. What other online shops sell high quality music downloads?

Muskingum University Intramural Guidelines
The purpose of the intramural sports program is to provide exercise, promote a positive use of leisure time, enrich social skills, and develop group loyalty. Competition is organized according to interest on campus in a variety of activities, as well as availability of facilities and equipment.
Entry forms will be distributed to intramural reps before the start of each activity. They will also be available from the office of the Director of Intramurals. After completing the entry form, it must be returned to the office of the Director of Intramurals by the deadline for that sport.
First and last names for all players must be printed on the official entry form. Through the first week of competition, the roster may be changed by deleting and adding names. After the first week of competition, teams may add names (as long as they are within the roster numbers limit) until the championship game, but may not delete or change names. You may change the roster through the intramural student assistants or through Coach Newberry. All teams must have a team name when the entry form is turned in (Intramural Director reserves the right to censor team names).
All captain meetings will be held prior to the beginning of a sport. There must be a captain or team representative present at the meeting. League schedules and rules will be discussed. Any team not represented at the meeting will start off the season with a loss on their record before any games are played.
The team captain is responsible for entering the team for league play, filling out the roster, and keeping team members informed of dates and times of all their team's scheduled games. The captain is expected to cooperate fully with game officials in regard to line ups, injuries, scores, players or team conduct, and any other problems that arise during participation.
The method of determining the champion and breaking ties will be distributed for each sport at the captains meeting. Awards will be presented to teams that win regular season play. Members of championship teams must have played in at least two games to be eligible for an award.
Rubber cleats may be worn for outdoor intramural activities. No metal spikes or metal tipped plastic spikes are permitted.
Regulation tennis shoes or basketball shoes are required in the gym. Shoes must be carry-in shoes. No black soled shoes are permitted.
Each individual participating in intramurals assumes the risk for any harm or injuries incurred while participating. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that each individual have sufficient health insurance coverage either through the college or through their own personal insurance.
Good sportsmanship is vital to conducting a successful intramural program. Officials and supervisors will make decisions on whether to warn, penalize, eject, or suspend indi viduals or teams for poor sportsmanship. At any point during a game, an official or supervisor may eject a player for unsportsmanlike conduct. In addition, they may stop the game at any point and declare a forfeit.
No protests regarding rules, penalties, or interpretations are allowed. Discrepancies and controversies must be resolved on site by officials, the supervisor, and the invol ved parties.
Protests regarding the eligibility of a player may be made before, during, or within 24 hours after the completion of the game. If a player is found to be illegal before the game, then the game must be played without that illegal player. If the protest is made during the game, the player in question will finish the game, but if the protest is upheld the game will be forfeited by the offending team. If a player is protested within 24 hours after completion of the game and the protest is upheld the offending team will forfeit.
Any team not ready to play within 5 minutes of the scheduled starting time will automatically forfeit. In the event of unavoidable delay, the starting time can be delayed at the discretion of the officials or supervisor. Two forfeits will constitute a team being dropped from the leagues.
Any team or individual who has alcohol in their possession at an intramural event or is perceived to be intoxicated by officials and intramural supervisors will forfeit that contest.

Positive High Risk HPV and Normal PAP
Two years ago I got tested for HPV and tested negative, so I had the HPV Vaccine. The following year I tested positive for High Risk HPV with a normal PAP, 6 months later I had another exam and this time it was negative for HPV. 6 months later I had another test and it again tested positive for high risk HPV and the PAP was normal. I was given two options, either wait another 6 months and get tested again or have a Colposcopy now. What should I do?

SCOTTS VALLEY - A 28-year-old man is accused of slashing tires outside a movie theater on Mount Hermon Road Thursday night, Scotts Valley police said.
Officers responded to reports of a drunk man slashing tires in the parking lot of Cinelux Cinemas around 10 p.m., Sgt. David Ball said. The suspect left shortly before police arrived but witnesses were able to provide officers with a description of him and the car he left in, as well as a license plate number.
A "be on the lookout" alert was dispatched to Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies in the San Lorenzo Valley area, one of whom recognized the car as being affiliated with a man who lives in Scotts Valley near the movie theater.
Scotts Valley police officers went to that man's home and spotted the suspect vehicle. In the driveway was Adrian Angel Sanchez, 28, who was trying to dispose of a hubcap stolen from one of the cars in the movie theater parking lot.
Sanchez was in possession of a knife officers believe was used to slash the tires.
Sanchez was arrested on suspicion of vandalism, possession of a knife, possession of stolen property and public intoxication, Ball said.

Studying the Past
Summer vacation: a time for lazing on sandy beaches, lounging poolside, and catching up on a little R&R. Of course, there are some who elect to spend the summer months a little differently. Madeline Ullrich, a senior art history major with a minor in religion, decided to spend her summer continuing her internship at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C.
Ullrich worked as an intern with Teacher Education and Special Programs. TESP is responsible for educating teaching professionals about methods of holocaust education and holding seminars and conferences in D.C. and nationally. When she began her internship in January, she assisted with the planning for the International Educator Institute, a conference attended by 25 educators from around the world. Many of those who attended came from the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe, target areas for Holocaust education.
Ullrich also devoted much of her time researching Christian responses to the Holocaust. She says that while others may not find it shocking, she was surprised to find out that many churches were compliant with the Nazis during the war. "It is such a complex issue. If you ask yourself what would you do in that situation, most people would say that they would help those being persecuted but you can't really put yourself in that situation."
Of course, there were some very notable figures who stood up to the Nazi dictatorship. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor, was at the center of the resistance movement against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party "Bonhoeffer was notorious for speaking out against the Nazi's during the Third Reich," Ullrich said. He helped German Jews escape to Switzerland and was involved in a plot by members of an opposition party to assassinate Hitler. He was arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo and was executed by hanging three years later while imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. "I found him to be a complex character; he is commonly praised as a Christian martyr that spoke out against the Nazi's persecution of the Jews and other groups of people, yet writings about his life suggest that perhaps his agenda was not that of defending the lives of the Jewish people but rather that of defending an anti-Nazi, German Lutheran church, which had been compromised by Nazi rule."
Ullrich's research had a personal side as well. During World War II, Ullrich's family lived in Germany under the Nazi regime, a topic she says is discussed very seldom at home. "It is very hard for people of German ancestry to face the past, and a lot of people just don't want to talk about it. I think the Holocaust Memorial Museum is very good about making one of their missions to talk about and show the many sides of the war."
This spring Ullrich will finish up her undergraduate degree at AU, and she says she is looking forward to continuing her studies with a master's degree in museum studies. Ideally, she says she would love to either stay in D.C. or move to New York to pursue a job in museum education, with a focus in either art or history.

Traditional BakingTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Detective Sing was out to dinner with one of his friends, Johnny.
"Check it out, Dan," Johnny said. "It's a franchise for a traditional Australian bakery - everything that we make is based on traditional colonial recipes! It's going to be a hit! We're not even going to make bread, just damper. Even better, the guy I'm buying it from can get me a great deal on the main ingredients for the damper, flour and milk! How can it go wrong?"
"It sounds like a great idea, Johnny," said Detective Sing "But he's lying when he says he's making the food the traditional way."
How did Detective Sing know?
AnswerWhile damper is made now using milk and self raising flour, it was originally made using water and plain flour, with a pinch of salt.

DETROIT - A warrant package request has been submitted to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office for possible charges against a Detroit high school basketball coach who shot two teen robbers Friday night, killing one of them.
According to police, 70-year-old Ernest Robinson was walking two of the players on his girls team to their cars when the attackers came at them outside Detroit's Martin Luther King High School.
Two boys, ages 16 and 15, claimed they had a gun. Robinson struggled with the teens and then pulled out his legal, licensed firearm and shot them. Michael Scott, 16, was killed by the gunfire. His 15-year-old accomplice was injured.
It is not clear if Robinson will be charged but, according to top-drawer attorney Todd Flood, it is unlikely he will be.

"It's one of those situations, if people come to rob you at gun point and all of a sudden you're sitting there and you defend yourself or others, you have the legal right to do it. There is no crime," Flood said.
No decision on the warrant request is expected until at least Wednesday, the Prosecutor's Office said.
Robinson is not in police custody.

Bushings are available in increments of .001" from .185" through .199" and .218" through .343". The easiest way to tell the bushing size needed is to measure your loaded rounds at the neck. This caliper or micrometer reading indicates bullet diameter plus twice the thickness of the neck. The bushing diameter must measure less than this, we suggest .002" to .003" smaller. Taking into account the spring-back of the case neck after sizing, this would give you .001" to .002" "grip" on the bullet.

Tragic Twist In Jet Crash -- Why They Flew
Posted Sep 20th 2008 8:00PM by TMZ Staff
Travis Barker's assistant wanted to get home in time for his pregnant wife to give birth.
We've now learned why Barker and his friends decided to get on that doomed Learjet in South Carolina late last night, and the explanation can only be described as a horribly cruel twist of fate.
It all started some time yesterday, when Barker's assistant, Chris Baker, told the guys that his wife was going into labor. Barker told him that he would do everything in his power to get Baker back to the hospital in time.
The quickest way back to Van Nuys was that Learjet. We're told Barker usually won't fly on private jets, but made an exception for what was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of Baker's life.
The plane crashed shortly after midnight, killing four people -- including Chris Baker. Baker's wife went into labor early this morning. Baker has another young child as well.
Wow, that is just horrible. I will definitely keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

Texas has no set role for Lowe, with 'pen in flux
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Rangers manager Ron Washington said he has no predetermined bullpen role in mind for pitcher Derek Lowe, who agreed to a Minor League contract on Wednesday and is expected to join the Rangers on Friday.
That may be because there are multiple roles still unclaimed in the Rangers' bullpen.
"His first role is to come in here and see where he is," Washington said. "He'll throw a bullpen and then get ready for live batting practices and games. He'll create a role for himself if he makes the club. Right now we'll see where he is and what he is capable of doing, and then we'll assess it."
The Rangers are still sorting through what they have in their bullpen, a process that will likely take all spring. Lowe, 39, may be late to camp, but it may not take him long to catch up with the competition. Joe Nathan and Jason Frasor are the two veterans of the bullpen and have each made just two appearances in Cactus League games.
Tanner Scheppers and Yoshinori Tateyama, who pitched for the Rangers last year, have appeared in just one game while dealing with minor physical issues. Both were able to pitch a scoreless inning in a B game on Wednesday and are expected to graduate back into the Cactus League this weekend.
Some other key right-handed bullpen candidates continue to struggle. Josh Lindblom pitched the ninth inning against the Dodgers on Thursday and gave up a game-tying three-run home run to Matt Angle. He now has an 8.44 ERA this spring, and opponents are 9-for-23 off him. He did strike out three of six hitters.
Evan Meek allowed three runs on four hits while getting just two outs in the seventh inning. He has a 13.50 ERA, while opponents are 11-for-28 off him this spring.
"There is a lot of time left," Washington said. "They'll get it together.
Lowe, who has been both a starter and a reliever in his career, can fill multiple roles in the bullpen. He made 17 relief appearances for the Yankees last season and pitched at least two innings in six of those outings. In his first outing with the Yankees after being released by the Indians, Lowe picked up a save against the Rangers on Aug. 13 by pitching four scoreless innings in an 8-2 victory at Yankee Stadium.
That's what long relievers do, and the Rangers haven't yet identified someone to replace Scott Feldman. He served as both a long/middle reliever and a spot starter for the Rangers this past season. Lowe might be that candidate, but he could also be pushed into a late-inning setup role to accompany Frasor.

A 14-year-old runway was kept inside a Queens home where she was allegedly raped, beaten and forced into prostitution for several months, according to court records.
After the girl went missing, in November she was introduced to the suspects, records said. When she refused to choose which pimp she wanted to work for as a prostitute, she was held against her will at a residence on 107th Avenue in Jamaica.
During the time she was held at the home, in addition to the prostitution, she was allegedly beaten and forced to have sex with one of her captors, according to court documents.
On Feb. 3 she was moved to a home on 177th Street. That day, the girl was able to call her grandmother and 9-1-1, which led to her rescue.
Stephen Garrison, also known, as "Fresh," Lindsay Archibald, also known as, "Touch" and Quanesha Hunte, also known as "Peaches," were arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including sex trafficking, promoting prostitution, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon, court records said.

Brentford defender James Tarkowski scored his first goal for the club on Tuesday and declared fighting for promotion beats a relegation scrap any day of the week.
The 21-year-old defender traded life at struggling Oldham Athletic for a move to west London in January and has so far helped his new team to seven points from three starts.
Tarkowski's exploits set the Bees on their way to a 2-0 win over Tranmere Rovers in midweek to follow up Saturday's win by the same score over Bradford City.
The run has seen boss Mark Warburton's men bounce back quickly from a 3-0 defeat to League One leaders Wolves to stay in the hunt for automatic promotion to the Championship.
And for Tarkowski, with second-placed Leyton Orient the hosts tomorrow, that remains very much the plan.
"People look at the Orient game as an important game because it could be viewed as six pointer," he said.
"But in all honesty they are all important games from now on.
"Although I've only been here since January you still feel that pressure to get promoted from the fans and from everyone at the club.
"It is a much nicer pressure than being involved in a
relegation battle, that is for sure.
"It was a tough decision to make the move here, because I had been at Oldham for quite a long time and grown up there.
"But now, once I'd been here a week it feels like home."
Tarkowski is yet to concede a goal let alone taste defeat since making his debut in a 0-0 draw at Carlisle United.
And, after Tuesday's shut out, he reckoned it was no coincidence.
"It is no accident we're not conceding, because we are playing well at the minute," he added.
"That is not really so much to do with me, we are just
defending well as a team.
"We have been limiting other teams to very few chances. Now we need to keep getting the points on the board."

HOUSTON - With more than 2 million people expected over three weeks of the Houston Rodeo, the security for all those folks is a primary concern.
In addition to the 150 police officers on site everyday -- there's an undisclosed number of undercover officers, a daily briefing from Homeland Security on regional threats, and the involvement of every agency that has jurisdiction in the state of Texas.
The top three issues officials believe visitors should worry about are keeping valuables out of your vehicle to make sure it doesn't become a target, parents keeping an eye on their children, and public intoxication.
"When you come out here, be responsible," said Leroy Shafer, the Rodeo's chief operating officer. "Use good judgement when you're with your family because you don't want to become part of any trouble. If an officer directs you to do something, I would highly advise that you do it."
There's one more agency that could get involved with security.
The Bush family has reserved seats at Reliant. If they decide to show up the Secret Service would get involved.
