Morning State Sports Briefs: UW-LSU football game almost finalized
MADISON - LSU and Wisconsin are getting closer to finalizing a two-game football series.
The first contest would be played at Reliant Stadium in Houston to start the 2014 season. The other game is planned for Lambeau Field in Green Bay in a future campaign that's yet to be determined. It was first reported a month ago that the two schools were working on a possible two-game set - but it was uncertain at that time whether the Southeastern Conference would play nine league games down the line instead of eight. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said today at the SEC meetings in Florida that a deal with the Badgers is all but finalized. The Packers say a Lambeau Field game with Wisconsin and LSU is being pursued - but it's not at the point in which an announcement can be made yet.
Central Wisconsin native Jordan Zimmermann failed to become the Major Leagues' first nine-game winner last night. He took the loss for Washington in a 9-6 Interleague slugfest at Baltimore. Zimmermann, a former UW-Stevens Point right-hander from Auburndale, gave up a season-high seven runs and 10 hits in six-plus innings. His record fell to 8-3. The Orioles scored six times in the seventh inning to secure their victory. Zimmermann failed to go past seven innings for the first time since April 21st. And he ended a streak of 15 starts in which he gave up three runs or less - the longest such string in the big leagues.
The Milwaukee Bucks had second interviews yesterday with coaching candidates Larry Drew and Kelvin Sampson. Drew left the Atlanta Hawks after spending the last three seasons as their head coach. Sampson has been the lead assistant at Houston for two years, after being an assistant under Scott Skiles in Milwaukee the previous three campaigns. There's no word on when a selection will be made to replace fired coach Jim Boylan. There's also been talk that the Bucks might pursue Memphis coach Lionel Hollins, whose contract expires in a month. Hollins says he hopes to return to the Grizzlies, after leading them to the Western Conference Finals. He was an assistant under Skiles for a short time before Memphis hired him in January of 2009.
The state high school individual tennis tournament begins today at the Nielsen Tennis Center in Madison. First-round matches will be played today. The quarter-finals will be completed by the end of tomorrow. Semi-finals are set for Saturday, along with fifth, third, and first place matches in all groups. Two-time Division 1 singles champion Damon Niquet of Milwaukee Marquette is back. C.J. Armbrust of Marquette will defend his D-1 doubles' crown with a different partner, Jed Sekaran. In Division 2, defending singles champ Zane Navratil of Racine Prairie will go for back-to-back crowns.
The head coach of Milwaukee's pro indoor soccer team will stay around for awhile. The Milwaukee Wave announced a new three-year contract today for Keith Tozer - who's been with the Wave since 1992. Sue Black, who bought the Wave earlier this year, said she and Tozer are partners and teammates. Tozer's teams have won six pro indoor titles over the years. He said he was disappointed that Milwaukee did not win the Major Indoor Soccer League crown this past season. The Wave won 16 straight contests in the regular season, and went 21-5 before losing a two-game semi-final series to Missouri.
UW-Milwaukee finished third in the Horizon League All-Sports standings for the past school year. The Panthers won the McCafferty Trophy a year ago. Cleveland State took this year's combined honors, on the strength of four league titles the Vikings won in men's soccer, men's swimming, men's tennis, and women's volleyball. Each school gets points according to their league standings in the various sports. Cleveland State had 45 points to 41 for second-place Loyola, and 39-and-a-half for Milwaukee. UW-Green Bay finished eighth among the nine schools with 22 points. In the men's standings, Milwaukee finished second behind Cleveland State, with Green Bay seventh. Loyola took the women's crown, with Milwaukee sixth and Green Bay eighth.
Linfield of Oregon won its first NCAA Division III baseball title with a 4-1 victory over Southern Maine yesterday at Fox Cities Stadium near Appleton. Chris Haddeland pitched a complete game for his school-record 15th win of the season. He gave up a run on eight hits, with three walks and five strikeouts. Linfield won the game with a four-run rally in the fourth inning. A squeeze bunt from Kyle Chamberlain brought home the winning run. Linfield finished at 42-8, with its first national baseball crown since 1971 when it was in the NAIA. Ithaca took third place, after losing to Southern Maine earlier yesterday by a 5-4 verdict in 13 innings. UW-Stevens Point placed fourth, after being eliminated on Sunday.

As a budding young comic-book geek, I wanted to be a superhero. At first my goal was to be Superman. Supes was the man, possessed of all those cool powers like flight, super-speed, super-strength, and a whole host of amazing senses that would make peeping on the cute neighbors a lot less difficult than trying to sneak up to their windows. (Not that I ever peeped in windows, of course. The superhero code forbids such things.)
One thing about being Superman is the costume change. Pick up a comic book, watch any movie or TV show, and you'll know what I'm talking about--that moment when Clark Kent yanks open his shirt and you see that familiar emblem peeking out from underneath. I knew I'd have to get that quick-change act down if I wanted to keep my identity a secret. (That I was doing this in a subdivision never factored in; so long as I could change clothes fast, no one would know it was me, right?)
But where was I supposed to keep my clothes?
Avid comics readers know that Superman compresses his Clark Kent guise into a dinky little packet with his super-strength. (Even more impressive, he decompresses those clothes when he has to change back--including a pair of patent leather loafers and glasses. Pretty special super-strength there.) To top it off, this compressed packet somehow never weighs Superman's mantle down. His cape never fails to flutter elegantly in the slightest breeze.
Try hiding your civilian clothing in your cape when you're five years old. It ain't easy. I put on my makeshift Superman costume and then my Clark Kent clothes. Hiding a cape under a set of clothes is tricky, but I managed it. I walked past Mom, who didn't bat an eyelash as I headed out the door, supposedly to play. Mom was surely fooled. I always went out to play in eighty-degree weather wearing a full dress shirt buttoned all the way up, slacks, and dress shoes. I always looked like I was about to transform into a puddle in full air conditioning, and everything I wore always looked like I'd put on another ten pounds in five minutes.
Sure. And Mom was fooled. Right.
The time came as I was playing outside for me to slip away, doff my outer garb, and fly into action. That "doffing" part wasn't so easy. It took me five minutes to undo all those buttons (ah, for super-speed), and I nearly fell twice trying to get out of my pants in a heroic manner. That failure probably involved the second pair of pants I was wearing and the underwear I had on over the blue pajamas pants I'd put on. (Superhero trunks were a little out of my budget.) But doff my outer garments I did--only to find out that crunching up all those clothes and shoes into a tiny packet won't work without super-strength. I'd thought ahead to pin up the edge of my cape to make a compartment for my clothes. It took another five minutes to figure out how to get the clothes in there, but I did it. Ten minutes after I'd ducked into the barn, I burst out in full superhero guise.
And promptly almost fell over and simultaneously strangled from the extra pounds of clothing tucked into the towel I'd safety pinned in place around my neck.
I gave up on capes and stashing clothing in them after that.
Another impediment to my being a real world superhero was the part where bullets bounced off my chest. They didn't. I learned this when the kid next door was fiddling around with a BB gun as we played superheroes. I was ready to show off my "incredible powers" to his sister (my girlfriend) by taking what I thought was a nonexistent shot to the chest. I jumped in front of my girlfriend, put my hands on my hips, and said, in my best superhero voice, "I've got you now! That won't hurt me!"
Ah, the things we do for love when we're young and total idiots.
On cue, my neighbor pulled the trigger and got a surprise. The BB gun had pellets in it! Much to my chagrin, the pellet didn't just bounce off my chest and tickle a little. It bounced off my chest, all right (thankfully, because he'd unintentionally aimed for my heart), but that sucker hurt! As I lay in the doctor's office an hour later, with the doctor and my mother fretting over x-rays, I found myself reevaluating the whole superpowers thing. After we got back from the doctor's office and Mom found out why I'd taken a BB pellet to the chest, just sighed and went into the kitchen to fix dinner. I think she was getting used to having a superhero wannabe for a son.
Since I wasn't invulnerable, I wasn't about to jump off the roof to see if I could fly. I had another option, though. I could swing from tall buildings like Batman. The Dark Knight has no superpowers, so this had to be an easier route. I just had to ignore the lack of tall buildings to swing from.
Lacking the finances to create a utility (I couldn't even get superhero trunks, remember), I started small. I grabbed shoestrings and started making my own swing line. It was summer, and I went barefoot all the time. I wouldn't be using my shoes. I decided my brothers wouldn't need their shoes, either. And since grappling hooks, like swing lines, were in short supply, I had to find a substitute. I came across this miniature boat anchor in the garage. It was just what the doctor ordered when I couldn't get better crime-fighting implements. I tied my shoestrings to the anchor and trotted out to the swing set, determined to prove I was a natural at tossing a rope over a bar, having it loop around enough times that it wouldn't fall right back off said bar the minute I tried to swing on it, and then actually swing from it.
The first time I tried, I nearly knocked myself out.
The anchor arced over the swing set gracefully, but as soon as it started to descend and the swing line caught on the bar, I found I'd overlooked an important element of swing line throwing. I let too much rope play out, and the anchor was making a beeline for my face. Never was falling flat on my ass such a lifesaver.
After that first near-miss, I started throwing the anchor over the swing set, dropping the line, and running under the swing set while the anchor was still in flight. I figured this would put me well past the danger zone when it swung back around. I was successful the first few times, and I started to get cocky. Big mistake.
The last time I ever tried to use my makeshift Batarang and Batrope was when I threw the line over the swing set and took off on my dead run to beat it over. I mistimed; the anchor was already on its downward swing as I ran through. The anchor itself missed me, but the line didn't. I found out a swing line made of shoestrings with no one holding onto it could still yank me off my feet as it caught me across my neck.
I had a rope burn for two weeks. Mom, thankfully, didn't ask about it.
What nailed the coffin shut on my superhero training was my bicycle. The way I saw it, not swinging from rooftops was okay when I lived in a subdivision, but I had to be able to chase down the bad guys. My inherently clumsy nature had hampered my proficiency in the bike riding department, and I was determined to make up for lost training time by becoming the fastest biker in the neighborhood, speeding down the street in hot pursuit of jaywalkers.
I was off to a good start as I cranked the pedals, taking off from the dead end of one street. I prepared to rocket out at high speed, whizzing past befuddled motorists who would learn that Pine Court subdivision had its own self-appointed protector. My speed mounted; the wind whistled in my ears; the thrill of the hunt was on!
Until that dog ran out in front of me and I slammed on my brakes.
I still don't understand why boys' bikes have a crossbar in a place that's very inconvenient, and very painful, if a sudden stop jolts the rider off the seat. As I limped home from my ordeal, wondering if I'd be a soprano the rest of my life, I vowed to give up on the idea of being an action-packed superhero. The training alone would kill me.
But then I got a chemistry set.

BEWARE of this company!!! I ordered something for Christmas online with Northstyle. There was a pop-up for a rebate. I clicked to get out of it because (being smarter than a 5th grader) I know that there is a catch to anything good. I was going through my bank statement and noticed some $11.95 charges popping up every month. I just thought it was something my husband had purchased. It wasn't. I called the number on the account to find out what was going on. It was Shopping Essential Plus, some coupon company. I told them that I never authorized these transactions. They preceeded to tell me that they received my information through NorthStyle. I called NorthStyle. They told me I had clicked to authorize this. I told them there must be some mistake. I am 200% sure that I would not click this because I knew these types of things are scams. The supervisor stated that I would need to call Shopping Essential Plus to get the refunds. I did. They are suppose to refund my money within a week and a half, 04/24/10. There were 5 transactions.
This is a deceiving method of business, and if NorthStyle wants to do business with them. We all need to be careful. Our private information is something we all need to protect.
I will let you know if they follow through.

I'm sure there are many unsuspecting fools like I was.. who don't check their credit card statements.
My fault.. absolutely for not checking. My fault for not reading through a popup, but really.. WHO would want to sign up for this type of thing? Honestly?
I loved the magazines.. loved the clothes but now shy away from buying anything at all from them.. and toss the magazines in the trash without looking.
At least I was refunded in full.. and I commend them for that

USDA releases 2009 cash rent data
WILLMAR -- As required by the 2008 Farm Bill, and in response to numerous requests from the general public, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently released county-level cash rent data for the 2009 calendar year.
The data includes non-irrigated cropland average rental rates for every county in the nation. In addition, rental rate data were provided for counties that have significant acres of irrigated cropland and pastureland.
USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service had published land values and rental rate data only at the state level since 1997. As of 2008, data are now being provided annually at the county level.
Following several years of steady increases, the latest survey data would seem to indicate some stabilizing of local cash rental rates. When compared with 2008, average cash rental rates in some counties continued to increase, while several counties witnessed a decline.
The data provided by the National Agricultural Statistics Service on an annual basis have a multitude of uses. The Farm Service Agency uses the cash rental rate data to determine market-based rates in administering USDA programs, such as the Conservation Reserve Program.
Other state and federal governmental agencies, universities and research organizations use the data for economic analysis. In addition, the annual survey provides farmers and landowners with current information about rental rates in their county.
The rental rate data were provided by the National Agricultural Statistics Service from 700,000 agricultural producers who completed a variety of surveys that were conducted during the 2009 calendar year.
Data collection for the cash rent survey is conducted by mail and telephone. The initial mailing occurs in mid-July, followed by a postcard and second mailing by mid-August. Follow-up with non-respondents is conducted throughout the fall, principally by telephone.
Cold storage facilities now qualify for loan program
Under the recently expanded provisions of the USDA's Farm Storage Facility Loan program, producers may now qualify for loans to build cold storage facilities suitable for storing fresh fruits and vegetables.
To be eligible, new structures and equipment must be suitable for cold storage and must have a useful life of 15 years or more.
New walk-in prefabricated coolers, with permanently installed coolers, may also qualify.
Additions or modifications to existing cold storage facilities may also be eligible.
Permanently affixed cooling, circulating and monitoring equipment may qualify for a loan, including electrical equipment integral to the proper operation of the cold storage facility.
Loans are not authorized for any portable structures or equipment. Likewise, used or pre-owned structures and equipment do not qualify.
Loan applications should be submitted to the Farm Service Agency office that maintains the records of the farm or farms to which the application applies. If the commodities are produced on land for which farm records have not been established, the applicant should apply at the office for the county where the facility will be located.
Occidental approved as crop insurance provider
Officials from USDA's Risk Management Agency have announced that Occidental Fire and Casualty Company of North Carolina will become the 16th crop insurance company approved to operate under the government's Standard Reinsurance Agreement.
Occidental Fire and Casualty Company has met the financial and operational requirements of the federal crop insurance program. Occidental has received an "A" rating from the A.M. Best Company, and was a previously approved federal crop insurance provider from 2004 to 2006.
Wes Nelson is executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency in Kandiyohi County.

When working with English language learners (ELs), the four most important areas of language development are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Whether children are designated as beginning, early intermediate, intermediate, or advanced English learners, they all need to build a strong vocabulary and develop skills in basic conversation with peers and adults. These skills form the foundation for later reading fluency and writing proficiency. Many districts and school sites have adopted elaborate and expensive English language development curriculums for teachers and other support staff to use during times of sheltered instruction. However, ELs often feel isolated from their peers and dislike the extra work that such curriculums provide. It is important for ELs to remain engaged and excited about learning, as they will have to work harder throughout their educational careers to keep up with their English-only peers. Thus, times of English language development should be fun and motivating for young English learners.
There are many games and activities that promote vocabulary development and conversation skills. These games keep English learners engaged and joyful about learning. Ideally, when using games as a teaching strategy, the students are learning English without even realizing it. Below are some tips and game ideas for classroom incorporation.
You don't have to buy expensive games like Scrabble, Pictionary or Cranium. Make basic classroom routines into a game. For example, put an English learner at every table group and designate them the table group leader. When you are transitioning between activities, look for which EL and table group are the first to follow your verbal directions. If you have advanced ELs, try writing multi-step directions on the whiteboard and wait to see which student's group can follow first. Similarly, make these EL table group leaders the messengers. When someone at the table is unclear about something, he should send his group leader up to ask you for clarity. While these activities may not be considered sheltered instruction time, it is easy to incorporate games and activities into the time when you meet with just your ELs.
Designate one day a week as game day during times of sheltered instruction with ELs. Many teachers prefer Friday as the fun game day so that pupils have to work hard all week to earn it. During the thirty or so minutes you meet with them on that day, have a selection of games that can be adapted to fit that week's vocabulary development. Pictionary, Charades, and Scattergories are great vocabulary games that can be adapted for the unit's vocabulary with little effort on your part. Another great vocabulary development activity that involves conversation is a sort of Round Robin. In this activity, a pupil has a card with a vocabulary word on it and the definition to a different vocabulary word. They must listen for another pupil to read the definition that matches the word on their card. Then they read their word and read the definition to the next word that it written on their card. The classmate that has that word matching that definition, reads the word and the definition of the next word, and so it goes around the whole group. This obviously takes a little bit of preparation and planning, but it is an activity that will provide many opportunities for using academic language in conversation.
Listen and Guess Vocabulary
As mentioned above, an important area of development for English learners is listening and speaking. In this game, pupils take turns describing the vocabulary word and guessing the words from given clues.
Multiple Meanings Game
For more advanced ELs, you may want to work on skills like recognizing homophones and homonyms. Learners are given a vocabulary card and they must walk around the classroom to find who has their same word with a different meaning or spelling.
Internet Writing Games
Incorporating technology into English Language Development time is important. Here are some activities that allow ELs to practice writing skills and play word-learning games on the Internet.

OTTAWA, May 19 (UPI) -- Nigel Wright said Sunday he has resigned as Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's chief of staff over his involvement in a financial scandal in Parliament.
The announcement came after reports Wright had written a $90,000 check to Sen. Mike Duffy for improperly claimed housing expenses, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said.
Duffy, who represents Prince Edward Island, resigned from the Conservative caucus Thursday but remains in the Senate as an Independent.
"My actions were intended solely to secure the repayment of funds, which I considered to be in the public interest, and I accept sole responsibility," Wright said in a statement.
"It is with great regret that I have accepted the resignation of Nigel Wright as my chief of staff. I accept that Nigel believed he was acting in the public interest, but I understand the decision he has taken to resign," Harper said in a statement.
Duffy announced last month he had repaid about $90,000 claimed over the last three years for Senate housing and living expenses. External auditors are investigating Duffy and two other Senators.
Ray Novak, Harper's principal secretary, will take over as chief of staff.

To the soft wind's gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so well,
. To gnxe oot on the even.
And the boundless fields of air,
And feci again our boyhood's wish
To roam like angels there I
There ore many dreams or gladness
That cling mronnd the put .
'And from the tomb of .feeling -,
Old thoughts come thronging fast
The forma we love ao deariy ' --
In the nappy day now gone, .
. The beautiful and lovely,
Bo fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidena
- Who seemed so formed for Mis,
Too glorious and too l.eaventy
. For such a world as 'his ! .
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
la a ae. of liquid light,
And whose locks ot gold wre streaming
O'er brow, so sonny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshino
In the springtime of the year
Like the changeful gleams of April
They followed every tear !
They have passed like hope away,
" All their loveliness has fled
Oh -many a heart is mourning
That they v.re with the dead. . ..
Like the brightest birds of summer
They have fallen with the stem
Yet oh it is a lovely death
To fade from earth like them 1
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they
And feel that all the beautiful
i Are passing fast away !
That the fair ones whom we love.
Orow to eich loving breast
Like tcndails of the clinging tiuc
Then privh where they rest.
Anil we can but think- of these
In the soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'er us
' And the flower, are blossoming !
For we know that winter's coming.
With hi. cold and stormy sky
And the glorioat beauty round u.
Is budding but to die !
Not many months ago, in one of my
summer rambles. I found myself on a
beautiful Sabbath morning the guest of
a worthy and intelligent family, in a quiet
country village.
The early breaktast was over; parents
and children had joined in reading a
chapter in the Bible ; Mr. Sedgwich. the
head of the iainily, uad tnen oticrea op
a fervent praver, at the conclusion of
which wo all rose from our knees ; when
our ears were greeted by the dear deep
peals of the ringing church bell.
So late! " exclaimed Mrs. edgwicn
looking at the clock, "our time piece
must be slow."
" That is not tbe first bell for chureh,"
replied her husband solemnly. " There
has been a death in the village. The
bell is going to toll for Martin Lord ! "
Such then is his uuhappy end:
mused his wife. " Wcll.it will be wrong.
to mourn his death. If death was ever
a merciful providence, it if so in this
case!" '
Is it a person who has been long
sick ? " I asked. : ' ;
Instead of answering my question di
rectly, Mr. Sedgwich said
" Ihere is a very melancholy history
connected with that young man. It is
now some time since the excitement oc
casioned by this strange tragedy died
away; but the tolling of tbe bell this
morning must bring it back forcibly to
every heart. ' remaps you wouio oe in
terested to hear the story r
I expressed my desire to listen to the
narration ; upon winch my friend gave
me the details of the following sory,
which I relate with only a slight devia
tion from the original :
' Martin Lord was once the flower and
the hope of one of the most respectable
families in the village. His amiable dis
position and superior intellect procured
for him universal love aud esteem.
Although of a slight figure, and pale
features, which indicated a constitution
by no means robust, Martin was remark
able for his uncommon beauty, aud in
deed his fine noble forehead shaded by
locks of soft brown hair, bis large ex
pressive blue eyes, straight nose, with
thin Grecian nostrills, and rather volup
tuous mouth, entitled him in some mcas
urc to that consideration. .'
-Martin was a great favorite with the
ladies, old and young; but ho never
showed any marked partiality to any
one, until he became intimate with Isa
bella Ashton, the daughter of our late
clergyman, who died of griet about
year aco.
- No two beings could be more different.
Isabella was the most thoughtless girl
in our village. Sbe could have little
sympathy with a person of such deep
feelings and elevated intellect as Martin
and beautiful as she was it seemed
strange that he should have given bis
love to her. There is no doubt but she
was attached to him : perhaps she loved
him as well as sbe was capable of loving
aDj one ; but in this instance, as in all
others,' her affections were secondary to
her love of sarcasm and mischief.
Martin and Isabella had been pointed
j out as lovers, by village gossips, for sev
eral mouths ; lie was low nineteen, and
she was oi the same nge, when tbc trag
edy occurred, which the tolliiig of the
bell h:is recalled to my memory.
It was on on autumn evcnn g, nearly
five 3'ears since, that Isabella took ad
vantage of the abseucc of licr father to
have a social gathering of young people
at their house. Martin, of course, was
present, with ihe fnirest youths, and
maidens ; aud being uuder no restraint
from the gravity of the clergyman, who
... .-Hi i.
was not expected nouic tin iaie, me
company enjoyed themselves freely witb
jests, songs, and social games.
The hour at winch 8uclir'artics usnany
broke up had already passed, and there
was uo relaxation ia the gaiety of the
young people, when some one foolishly
mentioned the subject of ghosts, some
thing of that description having been re
ported as seen in the vicinity - of the
" It is a silly report, said Martin.
Nobody - can believe that ghost was
eally seen there : and 1 doubt it a per
son hero believes at all in the existence
of ghosts." '
- ion do, yourself you Know you ao
Martin, although you are shamed to
own it," cried Isabella. xut iamn
only laughed. Come now continued
the thoughtless girl " I can prove that
you have some idea that such things
may exist, uo to the churchyard alone
in the dark aud then declare, if you can,
that you have Jelt no fear. "
"And what would that prove r
" Why, you would be frightened,
though you should see nothing. Your
fears would put your belief to the test.
How could you be afraid if you did not
feel that there was something to be afraid
" I do not think your logic is the best
in the world," replied Martin, laughing.
' Men are often troubled with tear, when
their reason tells t'icin there is no cause
to fear. Bat I denj', in the first place,
that a journey to the churchyard, even
at midnight, would frighten me in the
least. "
"How bravely you can talk!" said
Isabella, indulging in her customary tone
of sarcasm. "But nobody here be
lieves you. I don't, at any rate. Why
... i. .i . . ii.
you liauu t courage cnouga me otner
day to help kill a rabbit; your motuer
told me so !
' I never like to causa or witness pain
f it can be avoided, '. auswured Marti:i,
blush i;:ir. . ;
'11a! ha! ha ! what an excellent ex
cuse ! You arc brave enough, to be sure,
but tender hearted. Come, now ; you
dare not go to the churchyard this night
alone. You are not half so courageous
as you would have us believe. Whether
you think there are ghosts or not, you
are afraid of them. "
Martiu was extremely sensitive; but
tbe sarcasm of nobody except Isabella
could have slung him so to the quick.
Scorning the imputation of cowardice,
he was ready to Uo almost any desperate
act to prove courage. "But," said he,
although I have uo more fear of church
yards and ghosts, than I have of orch
ards and nppletrees, I am not going to
walk half a mile, merely to be laurned
"Ha! ha! but vou shall no! escape
so ! " laughed Isabella. " Here, before
these our mends, 1 promise that this
ring shall bo yours," she continued, dis
i laving one given her by an old lover,
which Martin had ofteu desired her to
part with, " provided you go to the
churchyard alone, in the dark, aud de
clare, on your honor, when you return,
that you were not in the least afraid. "
Agreed," said Martin, buttoning
np his coat, for tbe night was chill.
"And as evidence tuat you go tue en
tire distance, you caii bring with you the
iron bar, which you will hud close Dy
the gate, " said Isabella. . ' -
Thus driven by taunts to the commis
sion of a folly, Martin took leave of the
company full of courage and spirit, and
set out on bis errand. "
It was near a quarter of a mile to the
churchyard, which was approached by a
lonely dreary path, seldom traveled ex
cent by mourners. .
It. is impossible to relate precisely
what happaned to Martin on that gloomy
road. I judge from the circumstances,
which alterwards came to light, and
conjecture his adventure must have been
as 1 am about to relate it.
Light as he was in frame, and tender
in bis feelings, he was not destitute of
courage. 1 do not think he was fright
ened by the sighing ot the wind, and the
rustling of the dry autumnal leaves, as
many stronger men might have been.
lie marched steadily to the churchyard,
stnnnoil a moment nnrlintis to raze sadlv.
ri r r o j
but not fearfully,, at the white tomb
stoucs gleaming faintly in tbe dark and
desolate ground, for the stars . shone
brilliantly in the clear cold sky ; then
shouldering the iron bar ot which Isa
bella had spoken, he set out to return.
He had proceeded about half waj
when, in tho gloomiest part of the road,
he saw a white figure emerge from
clump of willows and come towards him.
It looked like a walking corpse, in :
winding sheet, which trailed upon th
ground. All Martin's strength of nerve
was gone instantly. Courage gave place
to desperation, his hair standing erect
and his blood running chill with horror,
still he stood his ground. Ihe spector
drew hearer, seemed to grow whiter and
larger as it approached. We cannot
tell what freuzy seized upon the brain of
of the unhappy youth at that moment.
' The guests at the clergyman's house
heard terrifio screams. Dreading some
tragic termination to the farce, they
rushed to the spot, one of the number
carrying a lantern. They found Martin
kneeling on a prostrate figure, his fingers,
clutching convulsively its throat, while
he still uttered frantic shrieks for help.
His wild features of terror.
Only two of the most courageous
young men dared approach him. Oue
of them forced Martiu to relax his hold
on the throat of the figure, while the
other tore away tho folds of tbe sheet.
At the moment the bearer of the lantern
came fp. Its light fell on the blood
stained features of Isabella Martin ut
tered one more unearthly shriek, and
fell senseless upon the corpse. lie nev
er spoke again, but lived an idiot !
A frightful contusion on Isabella's
temple bore evidence that in his frenzy
he had struck the supposed spectre with
the iron bar. The blow was probably
the cause of her death ; although such a
grasp as his hands must have given her
throat, might alone have deprived her of
breath, lie never knew afterwards what
he had done, for never a gleam of rea
son illumined the darkness of his soul ;
and now the tolling bell has told us that
Heaven, iu its mercy, has fina'ly freed
the spirit from its shackles of clay, aud
given it light in a better. world.
He had but one happy moment ia bis
life and that moment killed hini.; , '
He livcin poverty, driven into soli
tude by the contempt of the world, and
by the natural bent of a disposition ren
dered harsh almost savage, by the in
justice -of his cotemporaries. But he
wrote the subliinest music that ever man
or angel dreamed. He spoke to inan
kiud iu his divh e language, and tliey dis
dained to listen to him. He spoke to
them as Nature ppcaks in the celestial
harmony of the wiuds, the waves, the
singing of the birds amidst the woods.
Beethoven was a prophet, aud his utter
ance was from God.
Aud yet was his talent so disregarded
that he was destined more than once to
suffer- the bitterest agony of the poet,
the artist, tbe musician. He doubted
bis own genius.
llavdn himself could hud tor mm no
better praise than iu saying, " He is a
clever pianist."
Thus it was said ot uericoult, lie
blends his colors wel! ;" and thus of Goc-
thej " He has a tolerable style, and he
commits no errors in orthography."
Beethoven had but one mend, and that
friend was Hummel. But poverty aaid
injustice had irritated him, aud he was
sometimes unjust himself. He quarrel-
d with Hummel, and for a long time
tliey ceased to meet. To crowu bis mis
fortunes, he became completely deaf.
Tlieu Beethoven., retired. to laden,
wucre uc liveu, lsoiaiea auu sau, in a
small house scarcely sufficing for his no-.
eessitics.' There his ot.ly pleasure was
in wandering amidsi the green aisles" of
beautiful forest iu the neighborhood of
the town. Alone with the birds and the
wild flowers, he would then sutler himself
to give scope to his geinus, to compose
his marvelous symphonies, to approach
the gates of heaven with melodious ac
cents, and to speak aloud to angels that
language which was too beautiful for bu
mau ears, and which human cars bad fail
ed to comprehend.
But 111 the midst of his solitary dreain
, , ,- , , 1 . 1
ing, a letter arrivca wnicu orougut. uuu
back, dispite himself, to tbe cares cf the
world, where new grieis awuiicu mm.
A nephew whom he had brought up,
and to whom he was attached by the
good offices which lie had himself per
formed tor the youth, wrote to impiore
his uncle's presence at Vienna. He had
become implicated in some disastrous
business, from which his elder relative
alone could release him.
Beethoven set off 0:1 his journey, and,
compelled by the necessity of economy
accomplised part of tbc distance 011 foot.
Oae evening he stopped before the gate
of a small, uieau-looking house, and so
licited shelter. He had ulready several
leagues to traverse before reaching Vi

enna, aud uis stengtu wouiu not auuw
him to continue any longer on the road.
They received him with hospitality ;
he partook of their supper, aud then was

Muc-h unKhpuliiess is oceasoucd iufam-
lics, not, iiijjfreiiueut'iy leading to total
lienatioit', from misunderstandings bas-
! upon very slight foundations : Espc-
ialy is this-Jtho case where the members
ave become partially separated, and in
tercourse thereby,' iu a measure, inter
rupted, so as to prevent any ready and
willing explanation. An action mis-
fered, a thoughtless expression madeTan
oversight on the part of one committed,
which is taken by another as evidence
of a loss of interest or kindly regard, be
comes a secret stumbling block, between
members of a fainliy, who through all
their early years would have readily
sacrificed their lives 4iu behalf of each
other; molehills grow into mountains,
brupt with precipices, and crowned
with perpetual frost, which interpose
mpassable barriers between hearts full
to overflowing with every genial sympa-
Such unhappy anairs, having their
foundations origionally in nothing, or at
least in incidents so slight that both
parties are ashamed to confess the cause
even to themselves, are more frequent
than is gcneially supposed. Lot a fam-
ly of children who live in harmony, in
the exercise of every trait of brotherly
and sisterly affection, be told that a time
will come in after life when other ties,
otherr connections, other iutcrests, pur
suits, pleasures and pains will unloose
the chords that bind them to each eth
er in such apparently indissoluble bonds
aud they will be apt to exclaim in in
dignation, ".'Are thy servauis dogs, that
they should do this great thing?"
The natural course of events must
separate families must disolve fratern
al tics, in order to give room to others,
f possible, of a tender and incrc endu
ring nature ; but iu that trausformatiou
especially care ought to be taken that
no element of discord be permited to in
tervene between the ongional and new
relation. Iu the close connection, for
instance, which certainly ought to exist
petween parties that enter into conjugal
ties, many defects of character will
likely be hidden from each other which
are appareut to a less buuded vision ;
and a brother may feel a tinge of selfish
pain, or a sister receive a slight shock of
wounded sensibility, that the other turns
from them to the husband or the wife,
forgetting that they themselves will do
the same thing.
A' little mutual forbaerence, a tew
kindly explanations, a determination on
both sides to do to the other as each
would like to be done bv, will in all
these cases, as in every other event of
human life, remove all difficulties, and
enable brothers and sisters to go on har-:
moniously to the end of lirs uncertain

Statement of Cnpt. Luce.
The Arctic sailed from Liverpool on
Wednesday the tdOth of September, at
11 A. M., with 233 passengers and about
150 of a crew. Nothing of special iiote
occurred during tho passage until Wed
nesday the 27th, wheu at noon we were
on the banks in latitude 4(5:43 with lon
gitude 52 west, steering west by com
pass. Tbe weather had been foggy- du
ring the day generally. Generally a
distance of to j of a mile could be
seen, but at intervals of a few minutes,
a very dense fog followed by being suf
ficiently clear to see 1 or 2 miles. -
At noon I left tho deck for the pur
pose of working out tbe position of tho
ship. In about fifteen monutes I heard
a cry of " hard a starboard " from the
officer of the deck. I rushed on deck
and had just got out when I felt a crash
forward, at the same moment saw a
steamer under the starboard boat, and
the next moment she struck against our
guards and passed astern of as. The
bows of the strange vessel seemed to bo
literally cut or crushed off, for full ten
feet, aud it seemed that she must proba
bly sink iu a few minutes, and taking a
hasty glance cf our own ship, aud be
lieving we were comparatively uninjured,
my first impulse was ta endeavor to save
the lives of those on board the sinking
The boats were cleared, and tbe first
bffiecr and six men left with one boat,
when it was found our own ship was leak
ing fearfully. The engineers were set
to work, instructed to put on the steam
pumps, and the four deck-pumps were
worked with vigor by the passengers and
crew." The ship was headed-if laud,
which J juiLted---feabout 50 miles
distant. I was -compelled to leave " my
boat and crew with the first officer to
take care of themselves.
Several ineffectual attempts were
made to stop the leak by getting sails
over the bows, aud finding t e leak gain
ing on us very fast, notwithstanding all
our very powerful efforts to keep her
free, I resolved to get the boats ready,
aud as many ladies and children placed
in tlit in as possible ; but no sooner had
the attempt been made than the fire
men aud others rushed into them in
spite of opposition.
Seeing this state ot :hings, I ordered
the boats astern to be kept in readiness
until order should be restored, when, to
my dismay, I saw them cut the rope in
the bow, and soon disappeared astern in
tbe fog. Another boat was broken
down by persous precipitated into the
sea and drowned. This occurred while
I bad been engaged in getting the star
board guard-boat ready, and placed the
second officer in charge, when the same
fearful scene, as with the first boat, was
enacted : men leaping from the top of
the rail, 20 feet, pushing and maiming
those who were in the boat.
I then gave orders to the 2d officer to
let go and row after tbe ship under or
near the stern, to be ready and take on
board women and children as soon as Ihe
fires were out and tho engines stopped
Mv attention was then directed to the
other quarter boat which I found bro
ton rlnvrn and hano-intr bv the tackle.
A rush was made for her also, and somef
dozen or fifteen got in and cut the tackle.l
Tr. wns soon out of siirht.
In the meantime, 1 found that not a
seamen was left on board, nor a corpen- L
ter; and without any tools to, assist us
built a raft as our only hope, and the
only officer left was Mr. Doran, the 3d
officer, who aided me, with the assist
ance of many of the passengers who de
serve great praise for coolness and ener
gy in doing all in their power, up to the
very moment before the ship sunk.
The chief engineer, with a part of bis
assistants had taken our smallest deck
boat, and before the ship went down
pulled away with about fifteen persons.
We had succeeded in getting the fall
and main-yard and two top-gallant
yards overboard, and such other small
spars aud materials as we could collect,
when I was fully convinced that-tbe
ship must go down in a very short time.
Not a moment was to be lost in getting
the spars lashed together to form a raft
to do which, it became necessary to
get the life-boat pur enly remaining
boat into the water. - -
This being accomplished I saw -Mr.
Doran, chief engineer of the boat, taking
care ro keep the oars on board to pre
vent them from leaving the ship, hoping
still to get most of the wo nenand child
ren in this boat, at least. They had
made considerable progress in collecting
the spars when an alarm was given that
the ship was sinking aud the boat was
shoved off without oars or anything to
help themselves with, and when the ship
sank the boat had got, yrobably, an
eighth of a mile to leeward, and in an
instant, about a qurter to 5 P. M., the
ship went down carrying every soul on
board with her. I soon found myself
on tho surface, after a brief struggle,
with my own helpless child in my arms.
1 again found myselt impelled down
wards to a great depth, aud Deiore J
ied the surface a second time had
nearly perished, and lostytho hold of my
child. As I struggled to the surface of
tho water, a most awful and heart-rending
scene presented itself to my view.
Over two hundred men, women aud
children, struggling together, amidst
pieces of wreck of every kind, calling
bu each other for help, and imploring
God to help 1 hem. Such an appalling
scene may God preserve me from ever
witnessing again. ,
I was iu the act of trying to save my
child, when a portion of the paddle-box
came rushing up edgeways, just grazing
my hend, and tailing its -whole weight
upon the head ofjny darling child.- ;Iu
another moment I beheld 'LiuT.-lylng
lifeless ou the water. .
I succeeded iu "getting on to the top
of the paddle-box, in company with elev
en others. One, however, soon left for
another piece, fiuding , that it could not
support so mauy. Others remained, till
they were oue by one relieved by death
We stood iu the water at the tcmeratare
of forty-five degrees, up to our- knees,
and frequently- the sea- broke directly
over us. -
We soou separated from our friends
on the other parts of the reck, and pass
ed the night, each one expecting every
hour would bo our last. At last the
wished for morning came, surrounded
with a dense fog; not a living soul to
be seen, but our own party, seven dow
being left.
In the course of the morning, we saw
some water casks and other things be
longing to our ship, but nothing we
could get to afford us any relief. Our
ratt.was steadily settling, as it absorbed
water. About noon, Mr. S. M. Wood
ruff, of New York was relieved by death.
All the others now began to suffer very
severely tor want of water, except Mr.
George F. Allen and myself.
In that respect, we were very much
favored, although we had not a drop on
the raft. The day continued foggy, ex
cept just at noon, as near as we could
judge. V'e had a clear horizon for about
halt-au-hour, and nothing could be seen
but water aud sky. Night -came on,
thick aod dreary, with our minds made
up that neither of us would live to see
the light of another day, for very soon
three more of our suffering party were
relieved by death, leaving Mr.. Allen, a
young man and myself. -
Feeling myself getting exhausted,' I
now sat down for the first time about 8
o'clock in the evening, on a trunk, which
Providentailly had been found on tbe
wreck. In this way I slept a little
throughout the night, and become some
what refreshed. About an hour before
daylight, now Friday, the 29th, we saw
a vessel's light near to us. We all three
of Ui fixextctLaurselves wjLth-sVerirtihdst
of our strength in hailing, until we bo
came quite exhausted. ' ''
In about a quarter of an hour the
light disappeared to the east of us.
.-. oon after day-light a barque hove in
sight to the N. W., as the fog having
lightened a little, steering apparently
for us, but in a short time she seemed
to have changed her course, and again
we were doomed to disappointment. Yet
I feel hopes that some of our fellow-suf
ferers may have beenseea and rescued
by them.
Shortly after we had given up all hopes
of being rescued by the barque, a ship
was discovered to the east of us, steering
directly for us. We now watched her
with the most intense anxiety, as she ap
proached ; the wind varying, caused her
to change her course for several points.
About noon they fortunately discover
ed a man ou tbe raft near them and suc
ceeded in saving him by the 2d mate's
lumping over the side and making the
rope fast around him, by which he was
got ou board safely. This man proyed
to be a passenger on board tbe steamer
with which we came in collision... . He
iuformed the captain, that others were
near, on pieces of the wreck, and by go
ing aloft he saw us and three others.
-We were the first to which the boat
was sent, and s: fely taken on board about
3 P. M. The next was Mr. J as. bmith,
of Slissisgippi, second class passenger.

of the Pacific. Of Capt. Russell, it
would be scarcely possible to say enough
iu praise for the kind treatment all of
us received from him during the time
we have been on board his ship.
His own comforts have been given up
in every resrect for our relief. Jiev.

From the Frenchman, who was picked
up, I learned that the steamer with which
we came in collision was the screw stea

and belonging to Greenville, France.

I made this as a surprise for a few friends since I made a last minute decision to make this costume. But I think I screwed up the top and made it a little too... short?? XD;;; But ya, the French Baguette was bought earlier that day right before I got to the convention area. All of my friends wanted to eat it but I prevented them before I got my pictures taken with it. And afterwards by the time I finished changing there were only around 10cm left... LOL XD ...ravenous wolves! ...I really need to go get a shoot done for it since the pictures we took didn't turn out that day...
Took this for another spin out at ohSNAP's 2nd Anniversary Shoot! This time a friend accompanied me as Kawachi~ (^U^) We had fun walking around taking pictures with our bread XD

This was the first Journey song to feature keyboardist/guitarist Jonathan Cain. He had been a member of the Baby's before replacing long time keyboardist Gregg Rolie.
Steve Perry wrote the chorus while driving from Bakersfield to San Francisco, singing into a cassette recorder. He went to Cain's house, rain pouring down in sheets outside, where they finished the song.
The # 4 charted hit is on Journey's only # 1 album, 'Escape.' The album also contained 3 other hits: "Don't Stop Believin'," "Stone In Love," and "Open Arms."
Cain and Neal Schon left the group in 1989 to join John Waite (also a former Baby's member) in Bad English.
We'll take caller # 14 to win The 5 Browns tickets when it plays between two and three, 1-800-232-KRTH (5784)

The 1950's was dubbed the Age of Anxiety and the 20 oughts have been called the Age of Obesity. Spice loving President elect Obama has taken a cue from the times and has named a hot and savory South Indian dish to be US Surgeon General.
Critics have complained that all previous SG's have been human beings but Barack has countered that all are welcomed under his big tent and will have a seat or in this case a platter at his administration's table.
Lamb Vindaloo, Obama offers, has the ability to reduce cholesterol, provide a relatively low calorie meal and improve conditions with sheepherders and the Asian Indian government. Critics claim that Chicken Tikka and Vegetarian Masala would have made better choices. Obama immediately named those two dishes to influential advisory posts to the Surgeon General.

I used tea tree oil on my chocolate lab yesterday and by late last night his entire hind quarters seem to be paralyzed! I am completely in disarray over me causing this to my beloved Cocoa Bear.
Anyone out there have experience with this? It appears that he's doing better now, though slowly.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and opposite number David Moyes played down a spat involving personnel from both sides at the end of the Toffees' victory.
Tim Cahill and Aleksandar Kolarov appeared to exchange words while Phil Neville was involved in heated discussion with Mancini and his assistant Brian Kidd.
When asked what sparked the incident, Mancini said: "I don't know because I wanted to take off Kolarov. I don't know what upset them."
Moyes said: "It wasn't Phil Neville. I think one of their players said Seamus Coleman had elbowed them or something like that, but it was nothing.
"All the fighting was done in the 90 minutes, not after the game."

As start-ups and small businesses begin to grow, they inevitably need the services and skills of other people to stay competitive. April's Catalyst Seminar (the last in our Lean Start-up Business Tactics Series) focused on some of the human resource (HR) issues that arise as companies begin to expand and add to their talent pool. Our speaker this month was Andrea Chatfield, Of Council at the law firm Cook, Little, Rosenblatt & Manson, p.l.l.c. Andrea has been recognized by Chambers USA as one of New Hampshire's leading employment law attorneys.
The ORPC Innovation Catalyst Seminar Series is hosted monthly during the academic year. The Series allows for the discussion of issues and case studies, led by experienced speakers, that are of common interest and relevant to technology innovation and commercialization. In February, ORPC hosted a lively discussion on Innovations in Mobile Apps.
Our speakers presented different experiences and driving forces behind their own app development activities to a packed house of faculty, staff, students, and budding app developers from around New Hampshire.
Admittedly, the title is a little "cheese ball" but the past two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity in the Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization (ORPC) as staff members have been involved in numerous events that promote the visibility and mission of our office.
The Office for Research Partnerships & Commercialization is excited to kick-off the Innovation Catalyst Seminar Series for the Fall 2012 – Spring 2013 academic year. Hosted monthly, the Series allows for the discussion of issues and case studies, led by experienced speakers, that are common interest and relevant to technology invention and commercialization. The idea for this informative series was first introduced to UNH in early 2011 by Marc Sedam, Executive Director, as a way to increase the awareness and understanding of the role that intellectual property plays in fostering a cre

The new year has always marked a time of traditions, say, belatedly taking down your Christmas tree, returning Santa's mistakes to the nearest department store, writing the wrong year on checks until sometime in mid-March 2012, er, 13.
And, of course, New Year's resolutions.
At TeAM, we have but one resolution: To provide even greater service and better solutions to the Federal Government.

Unlike many resolutions, which are often an already-broken promise by halftime of the Rose Bowl, TeAM's has stood the test of time.
For 27 years, TeAM has offered better support, more solutions and a wider range of services each year, one after the next. From the small shop that opened its doors in 1985 until the present, when TeAM has offices across the National Capital Region as well as in San Antonio and is one of the fastest growing small business contractors, TeAM has continually improved itself, reinventing and recalibrating as needed, reinvigorating our client projects as a matter of habit.
At TeAM, saying farewell to a year as successful as 2012 is not easy. In the past year, we grew tremendously, added another civilian agency to our portfolio of clients, and undertook continual improvement in methodology and process to better serve the Department of Defense, including the Military Health System, and the Federal Government at large.
At the center of our constant improvement are solutions.
At TeAM, we don't simply manage the process or passively staff our projects. We leverage every ounce of expertise across multiple contracts, backgrounds and disciplines to create a Federal know-how database that we believe is unparalleled among small businesses. We create solutions for our clients to ensure that we finish our work with the agency in a better place than when we found it.
For more than a quarter of a century, TeAM has served as the Government's solutions provider, a role we will continue into 2013 and well beyond. With the looming specter of decreased Federal spending in the coming years, TeAM's focus on enabling speed to market and providing self-sustaining solutions will be an even more valuable tool for our clients.
Such focus guarantees continually improved service. We don't simply rest on our laurels, be it January 1, July 1 or any date in between. At TeAM, our guiding philosophy is improving on improvements, quickly moving to the next play, even after a big win.
So as the New Year dawns, we at TeAM would like to make public our continued commitment to the Federal Government and promise to provide another record-setting year of superior Government solutions.
Now you'll excuse us. We have a Christmas tree we need to take care of.

The Machine Learning Canvas is a template for developing new or documenting existing predictive systems based on machine learning. It is a visual chart with elements describing the key aspects of such systems: value proposition, data to learn from (to create predictive models), utilization of predictions (to create proposed value), requirements and measures of performance. It assists teams of data scientists, software engineers, product and business managers, in aligning their activities.
