2009-10 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross Nationals awarded to Bend, Oregon
Colorado Springs, Colo. (December 23, 2008)—The 2009-10 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships have been awarded to the city of Bend, Ore., the national governing body announced today.
The USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships were last held in the Pacific Northwest when Portland hosted the 2003 and 2004 editions. Since then, the annual event has been held in Providence, R.I. (2005-06) and Kansas City, Kan. (2007-08). With scheduled dates of Dec. 10-13 in 2009 and Dec. 9-12 in 2010, the two-year commitment returns the national championships to one of the most popular hotbeds of cyclo-cross racing in North America.
With more than 2,000 athletes from around the nation expected to compete in Bend next year, 35 national titles will be on the line throughout several categories of racing; including junior, U23, collegiate, masters and elite divisions for men and women.
"Bend is a special place and our entire community is honored to host the cycling world for the USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships," said Doug LaPlaca, president and CEO of Visit Bend and co-chair of the local organizing committee. "Anyone who has visited Bend understands the enormous enthusiasm and opportunity here – not just for cycling and cyclo-cross, but for sports and recreation in general."
Considered by many to be a hub for outdoor sports enthusiasts, Bend also plays host to the Cascade Cycling Classic, a USA Cycling National Racing Calendar event, recently hosted the XTERRA Trail Running National Championships, and will host the USA Triathlon Winter Triathlon National Championships next month. Additionally, the town has recently been named America's Top Adventure Town by Men's Journal, America's Top Trail Running Town by Outside, one of the country's Top-Five Ski Towns by Travel + Leisure, one of the Top-10 U.S. Triathlon Towns by Triathlete and "The Next Moab" by Mountain Bike.

Barley-Leek Soup with Mini Chicken Meatballs
This is a great soup to make with kids, who will have fun forming the meatballs and eating the end result. You can make the meatballs in advance and freeze them. They're also delicious served with pasta or couscous.
- 1 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbs. olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
- 3 leeks, white and light green portions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 lb. (250 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Tbs. tomato paste
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) dry white wine
- 2 cups (12 oz./375 g) pearl barley
- 8 cups (64 fl. oz./2 l) chicken broth, plus more as needed
- 1 lb. (500 g) ground chicken
- 1/2 cup (2 oz./60 g) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1/4 cup (1 oz./30 g) plain dried bread crumbs
- 2 Tbs. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 1/2 cup (3/4 oz./20 g)
chopped parsley
- 1 Tbs. tomato paste
- 1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste
In a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the 2 Tbs. olive oil. Add the leeks and garlic and sauté until very soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and wine, stir to combine and cook for 4 minutes. Add the barley and the 8 cups broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes
Meanwhile, preheat an oven to 375°F (190°C). Oil a baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, cheese, bread crumbs, the 2 Tbs. parsley and the tomato paste. Add the 1 tsp. salt and the 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine. The mixture will be very sticky. To form the meatballs, use 2 small spoons to scoop up the mixture and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
Add the meatballs to the soup and stir in gently. If the soup is too thick, add more broth and heat through. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately, garnished with the 1/2 cup parsley. Serves 8 to 10.

Television watchers and morality monitors will have to wait a couple more years before they know whether the Constitution's First Amendment allows the government to punish broadcasters for airing four-letter profanity and brief images of nudity.
For the second time in the past three years, the Supreme Court on Thursday put off a ruling on that question, but it did drop a hint that the government might want to re-think its current ban on "fleeting" vulgarities and nude scenes.
What the court did decide, though, was that the Federal Communications Commission failed to give broadcasters advance notice that, thereafter, it was going to forbid even the single use of the "F-word" and the "S-word" or a single brief but sexually explicit image of a nude body.
That violated the Constitution's guarantee of due process to Fox Television and ABC-TV, the court concluded in a unanimous opinion.
One justice, Sonia Sotomayor, didn't take part in the ruling. Another, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, signaled that, at some point, she wants the court to go back and reconsider a key 34-year-old precedent that launched the FCC on regulating broadcast "indecency."
The case had been closely watched with the prospect of a decisive First Amendment ruling after years of legal uncertainty in the broadcast entertainment industry. And the fact that the court still had not decided the case more than five months after a hearing on it had left the impression that a major constitutional judgment would be made on the FCC's policy.
But the final opinion that did emerge, written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, used only a little more than five pages to describe what was decided, and added another page to say what had not been resolved–including the power of the FCC even to enforce an anti-indecency policy on TV and radio.
On the due process issue, the court was explicit: "A fundamental principle of our legal system is that laws which regulate persons or entities must give fair notice of conduct that is forbidden or required."
The FCC, the court found, had not spelled out what was forbidden at the time it took action against Fox TV for music awards broadcasts during which performers had used either the "F-word" or the "S-word," or variations of them, and against ABC-TV for the images of a nude woman's buttocks during a broadcast of the crime show, NYPD Blue. (Justice Kennedy's opinion avoided spelling out those words, using asterisks to delete all but the first letter.)
A government policy that fails to warn of its actual scope, the court said, must be struck down as unconstitutionally vague, under the due process clause.
"Regulated parties," it added, "should know what is required of them so they may act accordingly." What FCC did in the cases of Fox TV and ABC-TV, the opinion noted, was to apply a 2004 flat ban on fleeting "expletives" and nudity to broadcasts that had occurred prior to 2004.
The FCC did not levy a fine on Fox TV for its broadcasts, but the court said that made no difference; being labeled a violator of government indecency policy has negative consequences even without a fine, Kennedy wrote. The FCC did impose hefty fines on ABC-TV: $27,500 on each of 45 individual stations.
At the end of his opinion for the court, Justice Kennedy spelled out four limitations on the decision: it was not deciding how FCC's indecency policy would fare if judged directly under the First Amendment free speech clause; it was not deciding whether the FCC's 2004 announcement of its policy change was valid; it was not barring the FCC from changing its current policy; and it was leaving the courts free to judge the constitutionality of the current policy or any changes FCC might make in it.
While the decision didn't direct the FCC to reconsider its policy, the difficulties that the policy has faced in lengthy court proceedings–spelled out in the opinion's recounting of the history of the policy–might be a cautionary note that a change may be in order, or at least a stronger justification might be attempted.

OTTAWA - One of the heroes of the night Bobby Butler was skating in his 88th game of the season Thursday.
He hopes to get to 100, and beyond, before beginning his summer.
"I'm looking forward to playing hockey for a couple of more months, hopefully," Butler said prior to facing the Habs at Scotiabank Place, his 35th NHL game of the campaign.
Butler, who started the season in Binghamton, has been here to stay since his third recall, Feb. 9. Others have not been as lucky. The busy "Bingo Brigade" arrived in Ottawa five-strong a couple of hours before the last game of the season to be played here -- and less than 24 hours after helping the Baby Sens clinch a spot in the AHL playoffs.
Colin Greening, for one, has made the trip back and forth from Binghamton so many times he could do it blindfolded.
"I think the most games I ever played in a season (before this one) was 65 or 70," said Greening, who laced them up for the 83rd time this season, including 23 times in the NHL. "But I don't think I've ever experienced the up-and-down schedule."
Not that he's complaining.
Greening's concern is that he doesn't upset the chemistry evident in Binghamton, which will head to the playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 lockout. Without so many of his stars, Bingo coach Kurt Kleinendorst deserves a lot of credit. Is he a candidate for promotion himself next season? Yes.
"You worry about (chemistry) a little bit, but you also trust the coaches to make the right decisions," said Greening. "They know the guys, they know how we play."
Butler admits he hit a wall twice in this long season, but says now he's got his second wind.
"I played for two teams in high school, so I played almost 90 games each season, and practised twice a day," said the 23-year-old Butler, who assisted on Jason Spezza's game-tying goal in the third, scored the go-ahead goal in the third, then assisted on Filip Kuba's winner in overtime. "That was when I was young and agile."
Erik Condra, David Hale, Andre Benoit and Derek Smith are the other Senators who played against the Habs but won't see their season end Saturday in Boston. Like Butler and Greening, they may believe a strong showing in the AHL playoffs will help their chances of being NHL regulars next season.
But coach Cory Clouston refused to throw a bone to the dogs when he was asked that question Thursday morning.
"I don't think it has anything to do with it," said Clouston. "I think it's a good learning experience, but if they have a poor playoff or a good playoff, they're going to have to come to camp and make the team. If they have a championship, it doesn't mean they're going to have a good or bad camp. It all depends on how they come to camp. It's not going to guarantee anyone a spot on this club."
For now, they'll have to settle for being the only NHL Senators headed to the playoffs.
The favourite story of hockey writers reminiscing about former Senators assistant coach E.J. McGuire, who died at age 58 Thursday after a five-month battle with cancer, had to do with the time thieves broke into the then-hapless team's practice facility and made off with everything but the game tapes. "Imagine," cracked E.J. "Burglars with taste." ... Habs defenceman P.K. Subban is often criticized by the stuffed shirts for his flamboyant on-ice celebrations. What do you think of that, P.K.? "My job is to play the game," he said. "It's not to be critical of what the critics have to say." ... Brent Sopel's top three candidates for the Calder Trophy: 1. Corey Crawford, 2. Jeff Skinner, 3. Michael Grabner. "Logan Couture plays with some amazing players," said the Habs D-man, who doesn't think similar thoughts of the Islanders' Grabner. "It'd be 1-2, in my books, for those other two guys, one way or another."
If I'm Sportsnet and pay the Senators as much money as I do to broadcast their games, I'm not at all happy that owner Eugene Melnyk chose to go on CTV Ottawa before the game to make a statement on the future of Cory Clouston and Bryan Murray -- even if it wasn't very revealing ... Ottawa has signed another American college player: Pat Cannone of Miami University at Ohio. Cannone, a 5-foot-11, 192-pound centre, had 14 goals and 37 points in 39 games this season. His style of play has been compared to that of former Senator Chris Kelly ... The Senators had 15 sellouts and were averaging 18,343 fans a game this season heading into Thursday's home finale, which was also played before a capacity crowd as they drew another 19,809. (You do the math for the overall 2010-11 total). This, in a campaign that often saw them ice a lineup that was more than one-third laden with AHL callups. "The fans have been great," said Spezza. "The support they've given us, even though we've been out of it here for a little bit ... they keep showing up and cheering for us." Pretty impressive, really ... Subban's 14 goals is one shy of the franchise record for most by a rookie Habs blueliner, set in 1970-71 by Guy Lapointe. Asked about the mark, Subban shrugged. "We've got two games left," he said after the morning skate. "It's more important to me to make sure I'm playing well and doing the little things well going into the playoffs. After two games, it's a new season. Right now my focus is just playing consistent." ... Butler, a former third baseman, grew up in Marlborough, Mass. with New York Mets prospect Jimmy Fuller. The lefty, who's currently at the Double-A level, brings the heat in excess of 90 mph. He also possess a secret weapon, courtesy of Butler. "I taught him the knuckleball, it's pretty sweet," said the Senator. "But I don't think he throws it anymore."
"You have some interesting questions. Obviously I'd like to be coaching this hockey club. You asked me that yesterday. That's what I'd like to be doing. If you ask me tomorrow, I'll say the exact same thing." Senators coach Cory Clouston to CBC's Dan Seguin, who asked him what he'd like to be doing next season. Clouston shot Seguin a cold stare as he left the interview room, but the reporter didn't see it.


text: So Head, Volkl, Donnay, Pro Kennex, Boris Becker and Pacific racquets have removable/replaceable plastic pallets instead of molded foam handles (like Wilson, Babolat, Prince, etc.). But which pallets from one brand will fit on a racquet from another brand? For example, say I've got Volkl frame but prefer the slightly more rectangular Head handle-shape. Can I put a Head pallet on a Volkl frame? How about on a Donnay? I'd like to make this OP a go-to post for anyone wondering the same thing. So any contributions you'd like to make I'll incorporate into this post with edits, hopefully compiling a definitive list.

Family fun at new homes venture in Sherburn in Elmet
A teddy bears' picnic helped young residents of Saxon Court in Sherburn in Elmet get to know one another and kept visitors' children entertained.
Face painting and balloon modelling were on the party agenda, while those who took along their own bears were rewarded with a bag of treats.
Patsy Aicken, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire), commented: "Saxon Court features family homes and the idea behind the teddy bears' picnic was to engage with our customers' children in a fun and exciting way. We welcomed children already living in our homes, who were able to meet their new neighbours, as well as youngsters whose families are looking to move to the area.
"It was great to see so many young faces and meet their teddy bears too!"
There are now fewer than 10 homes still available at Saxon Court, with prices from £265,999. Each with four bedrooms, they give families the room they need to grow.
The teddy bears' picnic was inspired by the award-winning housebuilder's latest marketing campaign, which features a five-year-old child, Issy, highlighting the all-round family appeal of a new Redrow home.
A special promotional film of Issy giving a tour of a Redrow show home through a child's eyes has been an internet hit and her own favourite teddy bears are prominent in that film.
"Our homes are designed to meet the demands of family living, as those who've watched the Issy film will appreciate. Kitchens come with all the mod cons with integrated appliances such as oven and fridge freezer – even the microwave is included as standard; while soft closing doors on the cabinets and drawers mean little fingers won't get trapped," Patsy added.
"And thanks to the handy en-suite to master bedroom the morning rush for the family bathroom should be alleviated."
Located in Moor Lane in Sherburn in Elmet, Saxon Court is close to a number of schools making it the perfect place for buyers to put down roots and raise a family. The bustling market town of Selby is nearby and the thriving cities of Leeds and York are just a short journey away.
For more information about the homes at Saxon Court or to arrange to view the properties, visit redrow.co.uk.

Turning Cities into Innovation Centers
"Cities should be living labs. If cities become innovation hot spots, new investment and jobs will be created. We need ongoing R&D for new transformative models and systems. Developing a 21st century innovation economy depends on it and would also enable solutions for the big system challenges we face, such as health care, education, workforce development, and energy sustainability. These are system challenges that will not be fixed with incremental tweaks. We must design, demonstrate, and deploy new system approaches to these challenges.

He argues selecting target cities to create innovation hotspots that can serve as national and international models of new ideas and economic experiments.

A dynamic 7-part video series specifically designed to
get you into action and making money IMMEDIATELY!
Get All The Money You Need For Your Business.
Register Now – Seating is Limited!
Loral Langemeier is the "Millionaire Maker." Kevin Harrington is the original shark.
Together, these two have teamed up for a never-before-seen educational seminar to serve the unfulfilled needs of the thousands of people who have ideas, want to be millionaires, want to be entrepreneurs – and need a shark.
Shark – Noun [shahrk]
A shark isn't just somebody with money. A shark isn't just an investor. A shark is somebody who is a mentor, a coach, someone with an amazing Rolodex, gives you a sense of direction, unparalleled amazing experience, that could bring your business to levels that you could never achieve without a shark. Without one, you might make a lot of costly errors, and you might make a lot of costly mistakes – but this is where having a shark on your team brings you certified experience.
The Shark-Made Millionaires Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime event created by two of the top money-makers in the world where you'll get everything you need to create the life of your dreams.
In their illustrious careers, Kevin Harrington – chairman of As Seen On TV, Inc. – has launched more than 500 products with cumulative sales of more than $4 billion, while Loral Langemeier – international wealth expert and 5-time New York Times Bestselling author – has helped create more than 2,100 millionaires.
Their unmatched combination of cash-creating expertise, out-of-this-world Rolodex, and generation-changing strategies is just what you need to add thousands of dollars into your bank account daily and live how you've dreamed.
They've done it themselves.
How else would you explain Loral growing up on a small farm in Mead, Nebraska – it's not even on Mapquest – and growing to live the life of an international wealth tycoon and Kevin taking struggling ideas and turning them into million-dollar empires?
After 11 years of college, I don't even teach what I have a PhD in. So if you want to get a PhD in learning how to create businesses and make money now, Loral Langemeier is where to go.
~ Dr. Cindy Tant
Kevin helped me take an idea from concept to development to product to market to success. My brand now is worth $3 billion. So my advice to everybody, 'If you have an idea, you want to go to Kevin Harrington.'
~ Tony Little
And they're on a massive international tour in search of new millionaires.
If you answer 'yes' to any of the following questions, you need to attend this tour:
- Do you need to raise capital?
- Need crowdfunding expertise?
- Want to find out how a 16-year-old kid made $9,355.00 in just 3 days?
- Do you need to learn how to pitch a shark?
- Do you want to use the skills you have now to make more money?
Kevin and Loral have been working nonstop behind the scenes, getting some powerful, life-changing info lined up to help you. They've put more than 50 years of their experience into their one-day events.
Do not miss this FREE event.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Q: Do I need to be an inventor to attend this event?
A: Nope! This isn't an inventor workshop. If you have a product, service, idea, or even just a drive to change your financial future – this event is for you.
Q: Where did the idea to put a shark in a tank come from?
A: Many years ago, Japanese fisherman had a problem with the fish they were delivering to consumers. By the time the fisherman made it back to land with the fish they had captured, the fish were dull, tired and untasteful – they weren't fresh.
They soon discovered the best method of delivering fresh fish was to and place them in a tank along with a small shark.
During the trip from the deep blue sea back to the mainland, the small shark would eat a few fish. BUT the rest of the fish who survived would make it back to the mainland very fresh and amazingly tasteful because they were so active in the tank.
The shark challenged the fish in the tank, so they constantly had to move around to stay alive – this is why sharks are needed.
The same is true in business:
"Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment."
Q: Do I have to pitch at the event?
A: Not at all! If you're far along in your product or service development, you'll have the opportunity to pitch a panel of millionaires. But if you're not, you'll have the just-as-valuable opportunity to watch and take notes.
Excited? Good…we are too!

"Oh, it's the best!" she declares with utter finality. "I love to do musicals and operas, but that's because they take you to another plane of existence. But for me Shakespeare is the most challenging. He's the most far-out, the most wicked and spiritual, and demonic and philosophical. In one play!"
Of course Titus is not the only Shakespeare Taymor has done. She's directed four versions of The Tempest, the last a brilliant film featuring Helen Mirren playing "Prospera," the traditionally male Prospero role, in an extraordinarily revealing way. And now she's doing A Midsummer Night's Dream off Broadway.
She describes for me her primal experience with Shakespeare's Dream.
"I remember being at Oberlin College and taking a bus 15 hours with my fellow schoolmates to New York to see Peter Brook's Dream," she says. It was a historic production, a production I also saw, that changed the way Shakespeare was done on both sides of the Atlantic.
"It had a powerful effect on me. And I don't think I've seen a good one since, so I've pretty much avoided it for years. Partly because after The Lion King I did Titus and that's the natural way to go—you do The Lion King and then you do Titus." Circle of Life, Circle of Death.
"A bare stage—" I began to describe Brook's set design, a kind of luminescent white box.
"Not a bare stage," she counters. "The Globe [Shakespeare's main venue] was a bare stage. It's interesting because the Brook was revolutionary for our time, but not really for Shakespeare's day, because in Shakespeare's day it was just an empty stage and empty space—and you used your imagination."
She tells me she's devised a different kind of box for her Dream stage.
"The audience is on three sides and it's basically a magic black box, like a Japanese lacquered black box, that has holes and windows and traps. But we're using the idea there's a prologue which is a bed."
A bed as a prologue?

The ambition of a good citizen should
be to create a completely furnished
town. In this way the civic and po
litical unit is kept sound. In fact, ev
ery town in the United States should
be made not only beautiful by its citi
zens, but wealthy as a political organ
lam, says the Independent. If wealth
is scattered or donated to an institu
tion at a distance the donor cannot as
sociate his benevolence with the home
sentiment. The town Is the home and
should be as sacredly considered as
the smaller homestead.
What can one do for his own town?
He can certainly do something far bet
ter than fighting evil-he can build the
useful and the beautiful. Among the
farmers' best pioverbs is, "Hoo the
corn, and the weeds will take care of
themselves." Prohibition has no value
besido permission und encouragement.
A good ball ground donated by a kindly
spirit and looked over by the donor
can he made the very expression of
manly sentiment among the boys of
the town. We know one man who is
called the town father, although he Is
not yet in middle life. He gets his title
from his determined effort to give the
young peopl what their youthful spir

A . town tree planting association is
needed everywhere. The first organi
zation of this kind on record was in
Clint~on, C~onn. This was followed by
a second in Clinton, N. Y. These or

nearly fifty years, and they ha-ve (lone

month, rotating In succession to their
several homes. After luncheon upon
such fruits and vegetable products as
the season affords and after discussing
these the afternoon or evening is occu
pied in consideration of town improve
ment. Both of these towns have be
come notable not only for their ad
mirable avenues, but for their well
planted homesteads. The best methods
of culture and the introduction of rare
trees and shrubs are always prominent
topics. An association of this sort, if
composed of men only, should be sup
plemented by a co-operativo associa
tion of women for household Improve
ment. The annual fe should be small,
but it should be sufficient to make
possible the testing of the value of
now plants and trees. The town should
turn over the care of street trees en
tirely to such a trained band of citi
sqna or, more ptoperly, to that one who
is selected by them as best qualified.
Town authorities are rarely qualified
for $udicious work of this sort.

pears as a fine wall of Norway spruces.
The appeal is not so much to the mil

MORE ARMY: Announcements | Live blog | Full coverage
SAN ANTONIO - Let's see, there's rain. And coffee. Microsoft, music. And more rain.
But if you ask a few of the players here at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, you should put high school football players on the list of things the Pacific Northwest is known for.
Article Continues Below
"We've got a lot of really talented players that people don't know about," defensive end Alex Balducci of Portland (Ore.) Central Catholic. "I think we're the most overlooked part of the country."
Lately people have been looking - and they've been liking.
The area had a record five teams in the final RivalsHigh 100 this fall, including two in the Top 25 and one in the Top 10. And the Pacific Northwest has four players in the current Rivals100, including three in the Top 50.
Zach Banner, a massive offensive lineman from Lakewood (Wash.) Lakes with dozens of offers, is the No. 40 overall recruit. Banner feels he should have more company on the list.
He says the lack of recognition is brought up frequently among the players in the area.
"We talk about it a lot," he said. "We really do. And we don't understand. We don't play different football than they do in California. There's 22 guys on the field, just like down there."
This week at the All-American Bowl, there where will be four players on the field from the Pacific Northwest as Banner and Balducci will be joined by Banner's teammate, Cedric Dozier, and Kei'Varae Russell of Everett (Wash.) Mariner.
Balducci, an Oregon commitment, already is impressing.
Max Tuerk, a USC recruit from Santa Margarita (Calif.) High, said Balducci was the toughest defensive lineman to block during the first day of West practice.
Balducci thinks all the guys from his area will do well, specifically because of where they are from.
"You see a lot of guys from the Pacific Northwest doing well," he said. "That's because we have a chip on our shoulder."
Banner feels exposure is the way to change all that. And that performing well here - in front of all the national analysts - is key.
"The main thing that impacts us is what you guys say," he said. "It didn't impact me - I have 54 offers - but some guys feel it does. Maybe if we can get more exposure, more people will see what we can do and that we can play football in the Pacific Northwest.
Click Here to view this Link.
"Some of the other guys may need to get themselves out there more."
Guys like Balducci.
Balducci is the No. 101-rated recruit. A good week here could make him the fifth player from the Pacific Northwest in the prestigious Rivals100.
Joshua Garnett of Puyallup (Wash.) High is going for the ultimate recognition. Garnett, who is playing in the Under Armour Game in St. Petersburg, Fla., is the highest-rated four-star player at No. 28 overall and is trying for a coveted five-star.
Recognition is coming.
Last year, the area produced a five-star talent, Colt Lyerla of Hillsboro (Ore.) High. And it has two players on Rivals first 10 five-stars for the Class of 2013: QB Max Browne of Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline and RB Thomas Tyner of Beaverton (Ore.) Aloha.
And a team from Oregon advanced to the semifinals of a national event for 8th graders being held in San Antonio this week.
The coach asked Balducci to speak to the kids, who were preparing for their game against a team from Florida.
So there is hope for the future - even modest.
Banner knows the Pacific Northwest will never be huge - "mainly because our population isn't as great as other areas, like California" - but he knows the area can play.
Balducci can't wait to prove it this week.
"This is a chance to show what we can do," he said, "to show we're sort of the diamonds in the rough."

SALT LAKE CITY— Hank Conger continued his hitting streak Friday night, finishing the night 1-for-5 with a walk-off single that scored Doug Deeds for the 6-5 victory. Conger has now hit safely in all 15 games he has played in this season.
"It's huge to get some key cogs in the wheel back in place," said Bees manager Keith Johnson referring to the addition of Conger and Andrew Romine this week.
The catcher was a big spark during the month of April for Salt Lake, with a .325 batting average with 13 hits, three doubles and three RBIs. Things took a bad turn when Conger was put on the disabled list April 23rd with a right elbow sprain, and the streaking hitter was sent to Arizona for rehabilitation.
"I was down there for about a month plus a week, and then just rested it for the first two-weeks before starting a throwing progression," said Conger
Thursday night marked the return for Conger, who went 1-for-4 with an RBI and was able to keep a 13-game hit streak alive after the rehab assignment. Conger had let the hitting streak slip his mind during the rehab, but insisted that he was absolutely ready in his first at-bat.
"The most encouraging thing was that I actually felt pretty comfortable," admitted Friday night's designated hitter about stepping up to the plate. "It's tough when you play extended games in Arizona, and then come back here and it's a little different atmosphere."
Conger arrives just as this Bees squad is trying to really find itself under the direction of manager Keith Johnson. With a handful of call-ups, the manager has been stretched thin but has been able to keep his guys from any sort of dramatic slide.
"Baseball season is long, you know, it's tough to have everything going good all at once," acknowledged Conger. "We just need to constantly compete, and try and grind it out here."Comment on this story
NOTEBOOK: The Bees controlled the game early, but gave up the big inning and allowed four Sky Sox runs in the sixth … Salt Lake also turned a double play Friday night, and now have 36 on the season … Colorado Springs had three pitchers hit the showers early due to injuries during the game.
GRAND THEFT: Luis Jimenez, Cory Aldridge and Doug Deeds all stole a base Friday. As a team the Bees now have 60 stolen bases, which is second most in the PCL behind Reno.
ATTENDANCE: With temperatures in the mid 80's, 7,545 fans packed Spring Mobile Ballpark to watch the home team defeat the Sky Sox.

He hasn't come back alone. Claes Oldenburg, Verner Panton, Walter Pichler, Robert Rauschenberg and Ed Ruscha are among the 90 plus artist and designers in the retrospective. It details in length the interplay between new materials in the post-WWII era and how it affected consumption and art. Warhol and co were hard to ignore at the time, and indelible today.
"We are in a post-Warholian paradigm in art production," Moderna director Daniel Birnbaum told The Local.
"People can pretend we haven't passed through that period but I think that is either naive or a little bit reactionary."
One part of the exhibition, which is divided into a slightly overwhelming 22 themes, is dedicated to women in pop art. Both the ridiculous - a woman's body contorted into the base of an arm chair, and the ridiculous in another way - Warhol's Brillo washing powder boxes stacked in a corner like washed-up treasure.
"Mass culture had a very strong influence on culture, with images of the happy housewife, and the sexualized female body," co-curator Matilda Olof-Ors told The Local
She walked over to a painting on a side wall. It depicted a beaming woman throwing away trash, with the slogan 'nine out of ten'... a parody of the epoch's advertising tactics - as in 'nine of ten housewives choose this or that detergent'.
"Lee Lozano takes the language of commercials - the 'nine out of ten' line which was used over and over again," says Olof-Ors, before pointing at the painting's punchline at the bottom.
"'Eat cunt for mental health'... It's a brilliant comment which I couldn't resist including."
IN PICTURES: See Lee Lozano's art and more images from the Pop Konst Design (Pop Art Design) exhibition at Stockholm's Moderna Museet
Pop art has suffered critique that it's superficial. Moderna Museet director Daniel Birnbaum disagrees, referencing the contorted woman's body serving as a chair.
"It's clearly something ridiculous, it commodifies a woman into a piece of furniture," he told The Local.
Birnbaum underlined that even Warhol tried to shirk away from claims he did anything more than reflect the times.
"He loved life, he loved modernity and it would be meaningless for him to say 'I'm against it'," he said.
"But you don't paint the electric chair or traffic accidents in a celebratory mood, you don't, and Andy Warhol is a more complex person than that."
"You can't say pop art is only descriptive or neutral. It also makes clear ideas in the viewers' own mind without being over critical in an over pedagogical way."
The juxtaposition in one of the art pieces on show appeals to co-curator Matilda Olof-Ors. It's her favourite in the exhibition, a Marlboro Man cowboy leaning leisurely against the museum wall. Conceived by Jann Haworth (who will speak about her work and Pop Art in English at Moderna on September 20th), he's made of foam.
"He's a macho guy and he's soft," Olof-Ors said.
Ann Törnkvist
Mathias Schwartz-Clauss and Matilda Olof-Ors co-curated the exhibition which is a cooperation with the Vitra Design Museum and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
Pop Konst Design runs from June 29th to September 22nd 2013.

Transaction Reporting: Update following FCA forum02/05/2013
The Transaction Monitoring Unit ("TMU") held its first forum under the new Regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") on 24 April and 30 April 2013. The TMU continues to fall under the Market Monitoring Department headed by Patrick Spens.
The Agenda included:
- Update on MiFID II/MiFIR;
- Update on Transaction Reporting firm visits;
- FCA Market Surveillance;
- Platform Thematic Review; and
- Common issues.
The TMU covered many interesting points and this article summarises some of the salient points for firms. The TMU anticipates the slides will be made available on the FCA Transaction Reporting section website by the beginning of May.
The TMU will continue its intrusive approach through conducting Transaction Reporting thematic visits to firms. The TMU began these visits in 2012 and have announced the following changes:
- Request documentation from the firm prior to the visit;
- On-site visits to increase from half a day to up to a day to allow extra time for demos of systems and Management Information.
Common areas for improvement included:
- Inaccurate/incomplete static data;
- Inadequate reconciliations;
- Poor documentation;
- Training was not tailored to the firm's business model; and
- Firms failing to notify the TMU of errors (under TRUP 10.3).
Outcome of the visits included:
- IT Remediation;
- Back reporting (five years under recordkeeping requirements); and
- Revisiting and amending procedures and documentation.
Impact for firms
The TMU chose a cross selection of firms as part of their visits; it is therefore important for all firms to have up-to-date documentation readily available to the TMU and be able to explain their day to day processes and Systems and Controls in detail.
In particular, the TMU advise firms to conduct full end to end reconciliations (including analysing and validating data from the source system), ensure static data is complete and accurate and to perform adequate testing as an inherent part of robust Change Management processes.
The TMU conducted a thematic review on Platform providers. This entailed visiting nine Platform providers out of a possible thirty within the UK. Notably, of the nine Platform firms that were selected, seven had failed to report where they had Transaction Reporting regulatory obligations because either they had misunderstood the rules or mistakenly believed they could rely on their brokers to report.
The TMU plans to consult on specific outstanding key questions common to the Platform sector. This will include what constitutes as "passing a client identity" to be considered a Receiver and Transmitter of Orders ("RTO") for Transaction Reporting purposes. Another key question is in relation to the scenario of an IFA entering an order onto the platform. Who is considered the client? The TMU commented they would prefer to receive the "decision maker" but recognise there may be operational challenges to the Platform providers in distinguishing the IFA from the underlying client.
Impact for firms
It appears there is still considerable work to be done by the Platform sector. It will be interesting to see how thematic sector reviews evolve and whether the TMU will decide to continue with this approach but focus on a different sector this year.
Other TR issues
Changes to SWIFT MICsThe format of the ISO 10383 MIC list changed in January 2013 to incorporate both the "operating" MIC and the "segment" MIC. As a consequence, there is a co-existence of lists but the TMU state firms will need to use the new list from August 2013.
Impact for firms
In practice, it would be prudent for firms to start using the new list as soon as possible to ensure their static data is up-to-date rather than wait until August.
As a rule of thumb, the TMU recommended using the ESMA MiFID database for EEA regulated and prescribed markets. In scenarios that fall outside of this, e.g. venue which includes dual listed instruments, firms should source their MIC from the new ISO 10383 list and use the "segment" list.
Part of the reason for confusion around the use of MICs in the past was due to the differences in approach by Competent Authorities such as BaFIN.
The TMU reminded firms that the Portfolio Manager reliance is not a blanket exemption. The Portfolio Manager can place reliance on the executing broker to report only in limited specific scenarios. These scenarios include acting solely within a discretionary mandate and using an EEA broker.
The draft ESMA Transaction Reporting Harmonisation Working Paper states that where a Portfolio Manager acts in both a discretionary and execution only capacity or sometimes uses a non-EEA broker, ESMA would recommend reporting all transactions rather than face the risk of under reporting. This is part of ESMA's efforts to promote EU harmonisation.
Impact for firms
Portfolio Managers need to ensure they fully understand the limited scenarios in which they can place reliance on their brokers.
MiFID II/MiFIR
In October 2011, the European Commission published a draft text on the revised Directive and Regulation. The Council has yet to reach general agreement on the text. As a consequence, the trilogue (European Commission, Council and Parliament) is delayed. Q3 2016 was stated as the absolute earliest date for implementation.
MiFIR will be direct regulation with harmonisation and does not require transposition into local law. The TMU reiterated some of the potential changes announced in 2011 including an extension to the scope (e.g. non-securitised derivatives such as Commodities, Interest Rates and FX, any Financial Instrument (or underlying) admitted to trading on a regulated market, Multi-lateral Trading Facility ("MTF") and new Organised Trading Facility ("OTF"), etc) and several possible new fields (e.g. Client ID, Trader ID, Short selling flag, etc).
The text around the handling of order data is an area which requires further clarification as to whether trading venues will need to store and make available order data or whether data must be provided to the relevant Competent Authority. There is also the outstanding question of whether firms will be required to provide client level data to the trading venue at the time of placing an order.
It is worth noting that the focus on order data may be interpreted as a shift towards monitoring the "intention" to abuse markets as well as the resulting execution. This would be in line with recent speeches made by Patrick Spens.
Impact for firms
In summary, the timeline remains uncertain and the details will be defined in the Level 2, ESMA technical standards. Firms will need to monitor developments in this area.

Expert Witness Reform Bill Introduced to End "Trial by Ambush"
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Albany, NY – The practice of "trial by ambush", or loading a trial with experts and then revealing them the day before the trial begins has long been a problem in New York courts. Now, there may be some relief.
On Tuesday, May 1st, Assemblywoman Sandra Galef (D, Ossining) introduced legislation which would balance disclosure requirements for expert witnesses in lawsuits. Senator Martin Golden (R, Brooklyn) introduced the legislation in the Senate on April 13th.
The legislation would require plaintiffs - those bringing the lawsuit - to disclose their expert witnesses before a trial date can be set for the lawsuit. Defendants - those being sued - would be required to disclose their experts no later than 60 days after the trial date is set, which gives them time to prepare a reasonable defense. Currently, New York's civil law requires all parties in a lawsuit to disclose their experts, but incredibly, sets no time frame for the disclosure. This has given rise to the practice of "trial by ambush," where plaintiffs' attorneys wait until the eve of trial to disclose their expert witnesses, preventing defendants from preparing an adequate defense. This tactic is unfair and hampers the fair and efficient resolution of claims.
The new legislation would improve fairness, reduce frivolous lawsuits, and lower costs to the court system. Early disclosure of witnesses allows both parties to engage in meaningful settlement negotiations long before the case goes to court, rather than allowing one side to game the system to their advantage. Because all parties understand the relative merits of the case against them, frivolous lawsuits are far less likely to be settled. Tom Stebbins, Executive Director of the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York noted, "Nothing prevents frivolous lawsuits like having to show you have a case. With the current situation, the advantage is always on the side of the plaintiff, which encourages frivolous cases and leads to defendants to settle cases that do not have merit." Most importantly, legislation would allow those with legitimate claims to get justice more quickly.
Legal scholars have long called for a timeframe for disclosure of expert witnesses. David Siegel, a pre-eminent New York legal scholar, noted "The statute cries out for some type of amendment to impose some kind of time period on the disclosure…" In fact, the basic elements of the legislation are already in place in the Third Judicial District of the New York State Supreme Court in the form of a judicial rule. The proposed bill would simply apply this rule statewide.
The Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York applauds Senator Golden and Assemblywoman Galef for their leadership and commitment to a fairer, more balanced civil justice system.
For more information, please contact Tom Stebbins, Executive Director at firstname.lastname@example.com or 518-512-5265.

I've got a customers cape that must have thousands off ticks on it. Its been salted twice,dryed,and is now in a saftee acid pickle with a ph of 1.2. My question is will the pickle kill these ticks or are they just dormint? Dont want them to come back to life and have my shop tick infested.

and will stay that way forever. No air, no blood, no way.
they give me "the willies". All I have to worry about is getting rid of smelly fish hands after skinning/fleshing all day! Which brings up an idea for a post!
Marty,when I do fish and have the same problem.
I wash my hands in luke warm water and some Ajax antibacterial dishwashing liquid,1 capful of concentrated lemon juice and 1tsp of Arm& Hammer Baking soda,Scrub your hands good rinse and the smell is gone.
One way to kill ticks is to freeze them for a while. I have taken capes out of the freezer after just two days and had'em crawling around everywhere, but at least 4 or 5 days in the freezer will take care of them. Here in the south we have a bug that we call keds. They look similar to a tick but they come in much larger numbers. I have seen deer with thousands of these keds on them. As for the pickle your ticks are now in, I would guess that if nothing else they would drown shortly. Good luck.
By any chance did it come from Missouri ? I must have pulled off at least 100 ticks while the customer was here deciding which pose to use. Another 100 after freezing it for a month ,another 30-40 after the pickle (3 weeks) and another 10 after the tanning process. In fact he must have been one itchy deer because there were a few spots where he must have rubbed to relieve himself. The brisket hairs were worn off right in the middle of the patch.
It came from upstate New York. This cape is just like you discribed, very little hair in the brisket area. This deer was lucky to be shot. I know if i had this many ticks on me i would be trying to find someone to shoot me!

The elusive killer called Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is up to his old tricks again, putting people he deems worthy of scorn in elaborate traps from which they can only escape by torturing themselves. Except these latest schemes, the police notice with some degree of disappointment as they sift through the charred remains of Jigsaw's latest failed pupil, lack a certain je ne sais quoi. They don't bear the marks of Jigsaw's usual discipline and to-the-letter fairness. What's more, we know from "Saw II" that Jigsaw is dying of brain cancer, so he's not apt to be up and about setting up torture chambers anyway.
Yep, ol' Jig's got himself an apprentice now, a former victim named Amanda (Shawnee Smith) who survived her test and is now learning to continue Jigsaw's work. The current project: Teach a man named Jeff (Angus Macfadyen), consumed with hatred for his son's killer, to move on with his life. The methodology: Put Jeff in situations where he can either watch the responsible parties die or forgive them and save them.
Meanwhile, Jigsaw himself is determined to survive long enough to see whether Jeff passes his tests or not. Weak and decrepit in a makeshift hospital room in his secret lair, he drafts an E.R. doctor named Lynn (Bahar Soomekh) to keep him alive at least until Jeff's outcome is determined. The trick? If Jigsaw's heart stops beating, a device rigged to Lynn's body will kill her, too. Talk about the high cost of malpractice insurance!
The original "Saw" creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell are back as screenwriters (Wan was absent for part 2), and they've apparently caught "Lost" fever along with the rest of America. Every major character in the film gets flashback scenes, including a few that add a bit of texture to the events of parts 1 and 2. While not particularly relevant to the current proceedings, it is a nifty little present for the fans.
Also gift-wrapped and delivered free of charge to the fans? Lots and lots of pain, torture, blood and mayhem. Why, there's even an instance of an electric saw being applied to the exposed skull of a living person -- and it's not even important to the plot! That one's purely a freebie!
As an evil villain, Jigsaw stopped being scary as soon as they showed him to us. (I believe that's actually Lesson 1 in Horror Films 101: Don't put your "monster" in every single scene.) Now that he's unequivocally the focus of the story, bedridden yet still remarkably lucid, continuing to ramble on about his elaborate "games," he's downright laughable. I remember the chills of his pre-recorded messages in the first film. Part 3 has nothing like that.
Part 3 also lacks a real protagonist. Jigsaw will die sooner or later, either from the brain cancer or from less natural means, so there's no point worrying about him. Lynn doesn't give us much to work with, and Jeff's situation is so improbable -- I don't care how mad you are at the judge who let your son's killer off the hook, you're not going to just sit there and watch him die -- that his "tests" lack any suspense whatsoever.
That leaves Amanda, whose attachment to Jigsaw is, you'll pardon the pun, puzzling. I don't understand her motivation for doing his bidding, much less why she seems to be in love with him. And a character you don't understand is a character you don't care about.
Like part 2, "Saw III" has been hyper-directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and over-edited by "Saw" regular Kevin Greutert. Even the non-torture scenes feel moody and depressed, all over-saturated in dark colors and scored with harsh, dour music. It's a feel-bad film, for sure.
But is it an enjoyable feel-bad film? I guess. Is "enjoyable" even the right word? The whole stupid Jeff story aside, Wan and Whannell have a few clever ideas up their sleeves, and there is a bit more ingenuity in this chapter than there was in the last one. They've hacked out this audacious little niche for themselves, and I say more power to 'em. This is dark, superficially unsettling stuff (superficial in that the images won't haunt you for any longer than the movie lasts), but if that's what the kids want nowadays, "Saw III" more or less delivers it.
