UNH Wildcats volleyball looking forward to good season
August 30. 2014 11:41PM
HEAD COACH Jill Hirschinger and her University of New Hampshire volleyball team are itching to start defending their America East Conference championship. The Wildcats have five returning starters from the squad that posted a 20-13 overall record and went 12-2 in conference play in 2013. Hirschinger is expecting some of the championship-level play last year to carry over this season.
"We're really excited to start the season. We ended on such a high note last year and we want to continue that," Hirschinger said.
Junior co-captain Tori Forrest and Madison Lightfoot were two big reasons the Wildcats were able to have the success they did a year ago. Forrest led the team in kills with 349 last season while Lightfoot contributed a conference-high 546 digs.
Hirschinger believes both players will provide leadership for their team, as well as Taylor Dunklau, whom the coach calls the quarterback of the Wildcats.
New Hampshire opened the season on the road in the UConn Classic, downing Central Connecticut State University, 3-2, after falling to Indiana University, 3-1, earlier in the day on Saturday.
"The past three weeks we've played against each other so it will be good experience to get tested on our strengths and weaknesses," said Hirschinger. "It's a good test playing against someone else and there are a good test of teams (in the tournament)."
The five-time America East Coach of the Year is especially looking forward to seeing how her team fairs against the Hoosiers and host UConn.
"Obviously Indiana will be a lot bigger than us and play a lot of quality competition in the Big 10. The same goes for UConn out of the Big East," said Hirschinger. "It will be a really good tournament for us."
Hirschinger said she doesn't have any specific expectations going into either game other than the team performing to the best of its ability.
"They are really good teams and I hope they really test us because if they play better then we play better," the coach said.
The opening non-conference games will also give Hirschinger the opportunity to evaluate some of her lesser experience players, such as Merrimack's Maggie Kennedy.
"Maggie had a great spring and really picked it up this fall and we'll see what she can do when she gets out on the court. This will be a good test for her," said Hirschinger. New Hampshire's first game in the UConn Classic is Friday against UConn at 7:30 p.m. at the Harry A. Gampell Pavillion in Storrs, Conn.
"They're really a team," Hirschinger said about her players. "They've figured out how to beat each other in practices and I hope that carries over when we play strangers."
JOE FREMEAU, a 2011 graduate of Bentley University, has returned to his alma mater as an assistant men's basketball coach, head coach Jay Lawson announced.
Fremeau spent the past two years as an assistant women's basketball coach at Southern New Hampshire University while he pursued his MBA in marketing. His coaching resume also includes a year (2011-12) as an assistant boys' basketball coach at his alma mater, Manchester Central High School.
"We're very excited to have Joe join our staff as the full-time assistant we rely heavily on," said Lawson, who coached Fremeau from 2007-11. "First of all, he played for us so he has an excellent knowledge of how we approach things.
Second, Joe was a very intelligent and unselfish player who always put the team ahead of himself and that mentality obviously transfers well to the coaching profession.
Most important, Joe is a very willing worker, proud alum and a person of high character who will be a strong role model for our present and future players to learn from. We lost an excellent person in Kevin Bettencourt but are fortunate to add another in Joe Fremeau."
Bentley reached the NCAA Division II Regional Final in all four years of Fremeau's career with the Falcons advancing to the national semifinals during his freshman and junior seasons. In total, the team posted a 110-23 record with Fremeau in uniform, including 50-15 during his junior and senior seasons when he started every game.
"I'm looking forward to representing Bentley again, this time as a coach, and to help our players gain the values that were instilled in me during my time as a player," said Fremeau. ""Looking forward to this season, I'm extremely excited to work with such a high character group of guys who really put the time in on and off the court."
Ice Hockey
On Tuesday, a landmark event in sports injury prevention will take place at Saint Anselm College's Sullivan Arena: the installation of The Look-Up Line.
The Look-Up Line is a safety-orange warning track designed to prevent hockey players from suffering head, neck and spinal cord injuries.
Saint Anselm is the first institution of higher education to install the line, which extends 40 inches in width around the hockey rink's circumference. Tucker Mullin, a hockey captain and 2013 graduate of the college, is a co-founder of the organization that launched the idea (the Thomas E. Smith Foundation).
The organization's founder (and Mullin's friend), Thomas Smith, suffered two spinal cord injuries playing hockey. The Look-Up Line was nationally debuted on the ice at 2014 Frozen Fenway. It was officially supported by the NCAA and USA Hockey at its annual Congress in June 2014.
In addition to its support, the NCAA and USA Hockey assembled the Look-Up Line Safety Task Force to provide scientific evidence for the line's efficacy in injury prevention.
Smith and Mullin both will participate in the installation of the Look-Up Line, along with members of the Thomas E. Smith Foundation, St. Anselm College president Steven DiSalvo, and St. Anselm hockey coach Ed Seney. Attendees will be able to participate in the painting of the line. Painting begins around 10:30.

The Spartans are the two-time defending NAC champions. Colby Sawyer finished last season 6-11 overall and went 1-8 in conference.
UNH's field hockey squad began its season Friday on the road against Indiana and lost, 3-2. . The Wildcats will play Louisville on Saturday before coming home to Durham for their home opener against Drexel on Friday, Sept. 5.
Women's Soccer
THE UNIVERSITY of New Hampshire women's soccer team has already kicked off their season, posting a record of 1-2 overall. The Wildcats opened the season competing in the TD Bank Classic at the University of Vermont, finishing the event 1-1.
In its opening game against Youngstown State, UNH earned a 1-0 victory thanks to the lone goal from freshman Brooke Murphy. The Wildcats lost their second game by the same score, falling to Central Connecticut State. Murphy and senior Caroline Murray were named to the All-Tournament Team.
In their home opener against Holy Cross, the Wildcats were blanked, 3-0. Their next game is today at 1 p.m. on the road against the Northeastern Huskies at Parsons Field in Boston.
Men's Soccer

Facing a Monday deadline before the European Central Bank cuts off funding, Cyprus is racing to prepare a resolution of Laiki Bank, the tiny island country's second largest bank.
Continue Reading Below
Laiki Bank, also known as Cyprus Popular Bank, reportedly lowered the daily per-person limit on ATM withdrawals to 260 euros on Thursday amid reports of long lines of jittery customers and clashes with bank employees.
"Clearly, the risk of an exit from the euro zone…has increased," Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, wrote in a note to clients.
Underscoring the concern over the Cypriot banking sector, Standard & Poor's downgraded the country's credit rating by one notch to "CCC" Thursday afternoon, citing the need for 10 billion euros in capital injections for commercial lenders.
S&P said its baseline scenario calls for Cyprus to remain in the eurozone, but warned the "risks of a sovereign default are rising."
"The economy will collapse and unemployment will soar. The social fabric will be torn asunder."
Cyprus has announced its banks will remain closed until Tuesday.
The scramble comes after the Cypriot parliament overwhelmingly rejected a controversial bailout plan earlier this week that would have raised 5.8 billion euros by imposing a levy on bank deposits, leaving the rescue in doubt.
The Eurogroup said in a statement Thursday afternoon that it "stands ready" to discuss a new Cyprus proposal, which it expects "as rapidly as possible." The group said any new plan should respect the "parameters defined earlier," likely alluding to the previous requirement that Cyprus raise 5.8 billion euros through its incredibly outsized banking system.
Eurozone members "continue to stand ready to assist the Cypriot people in their reform efforts and stand ready to ensure the stability of the euro area as a whole," the statement said.
On the reform front, Cyprus is planning to split Laiki's assets into good and bad units and then merge the good assets with the country's largest lender, the Bank of Cyprus, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The Central Bank of Cyprus announced a resolution process Thursday afternoon that would avert bankruptcy and protect depositors with up to 100,000 euros, Reuters reported. The measures will be imposed on Laiki and failure to do will render the bank bankrupt, the central bank governor was quoted was saying.
Earlier, the ECB said it will pull the plug on its Emergency Lending Assistance program to the Central Bank of Cyprus if the country doesn't reach a deal by Monday.
If the ECB pulls its support, analysts have said the Cypriot banking system is likely to collapse, dragging down the country's $18 billion economy.
"We think Cypriots' lives will be made significantly worse on an exit," Chandler said. "The banking system will collapse and the means to recapitalizing it are not obvious. The economy will collapse and unemployment will soar. The social fabric will be torn asunder."
Jan Randolph, director of sovereign risk at IHS Global Insight, warned that if the banks collapse the Cypriot gross domestic product could plummet 6% to 7% and the country's unemployment rate may spike above 20%.
While the damage to Cyprus may be great, a collapse of the country's banking system isn't seen as a serious threat to the U.S. or even to the eurozone.
Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, told reporters on Wednesday that he doesn't see Cyprus as having "direct implications" or a "major risk" to the U.S. financial system or the U.S. economy.

I do not count mini's, decants, samples or anything else that isnt a 100% legit bottle.
Samples and up
Decants/Minis and up (usually 4 or 5ml +)
Any size (not samples) that has the company logo on it (i.e. a 5ml Mini, but not a 10ml decant)
Large official complimentary sizes and up (i.e. Montale 20ml bottles, Lutens 15ml)
Standard sized sale bottles only (usually 30ml+ though some houses differ)
(same poll for women is in the ladies' section -
I suspect there's a difference by gender)
Some of you have a dazzling number of fragrances in your Basenotes wardrobes. This begs the question of how do you count them?
Do you include things like samples, decants, miniatures (i.e. 5ml Lutens bottles sold by the perfume house vs decants) and large official complimentary samples (like Montale 20ml format or Lutens 15ml formats) or do you just include "proper" bottles, 30ml and up?
For the "standard size" option, that's usually 30ml and up, but often Pure Parfum and Extrait de Parfum sizes are much smaller, 8ml 10ml etc, and those should count as "Standard Sizes".
In terms of gender difference, my guess is that men will tend to only count the bottles, whereas women will tend to include non official sizes like decants. So let's see!

Same here.
I only count 30 ML., and up. Speaking of which, I wish all perfume maker's would offer a 30 ML bottle.Perhap's I would pay a little more, but that would be fine with me.Example if MPG even offered 50ML. bottle sizes, I would have at least 5 more of their fragrance's in my wardrobe. Which is why I buy 8ML,or10ML decants.I end up even paying more,this route, but because I have a long time love affair with fragrance's it's all worth it!
I no longer buy full sized bottles of anything--I've never gone through a whole bottle of anything even when I had only 1 or 2 scents in the old days.
I count decants and up. I look at it like this -- because i have so (too?) many bottles, a decant lasts me forever! I have 5ml decants i bought years ago that are still more than half full.

I count all of my full retail bottles and the very few 15ml and up decants I own
Last edited by teger; 5th December 2007 at 11:15 PM.
Full bottle only, but I do include those in the mail.
Standard sized bottles only. 50ml or up. (unless they only come in 30 ml so i guess 30ml or up then!)
Last edited by castorpollux; 5th December 2007 at 05:20 PM.
30 ml and larger only.
10ml and up ...
Oh please, if everyone around here is going to start telling the truth, I'm going to bed. - The House of Yes
I count from 10-ml bottle since I have so many, and so this small size would last for, at least, 5 years. However, most of my bottles are 100-ml ones.
Current Top 5
1. Creed Aventus
2. A*Men Pure Malt
3. L'instant Extreme
4. Nasomatto Duro
5. CDG - Kyoto
When Caron's Poivre parfum extrait costs as much as it does, yes, I do count 5ml and up decants. My mix is about 40:60 decants:full-fledged bottles.
No decants, only original bottles.
Big bottles only for me too.
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." Ayn Rand...
"The essence of fascism is to make laws forbidding everything and then enforce them selectively against your enemies."
Daily Wardrobe
Only 'official' bottles in my wardrobe; decants, samples and minis all go in the 'tested' section.
"Perfume is the dream that carries me."
There is always the sky to look at
"Normal" bottles in the wardrobe, everything else from 10ml decants to 1ml samples goes into the "pending" section. It's the only way I can keep track of all this stuff.
While my wardrobe is completely out of date, if I ever get around to updating it, I will only include retail bottles and 30ml (or greater) decants.
Only full-size for me too...which sometimes is tiny if its a pure parfum/extrait.
I have the 10ml set of Different Company scents, but I don't count them (not even sure why...they seem more like samples to me).
Other than curiousity, I am not sure why there have been so many discussions of what should or should not be (is or is not) included in one's wardrobe. Although my list includes 95% bottles, my inclusion of decants or minis allows others to see what I have for an opinion request or a swap or trade request. When decant sales and swaps were allowed here, and many still think they are, listing these was the source of many dozens of excellent swaps and sales for me and many others here.
Founder- Cosa Nosetra
30ml and up...
I spray a lot, so Decants and samples don't last long to justify a place in my wardrobe...
I count just bottles 30ml and above (sometimes, I wish it wasn't so...)
"Faites des bêtises, mais faites les avec enthousiasme !" Colette
thanks caesar!
i have been wondering. i didnt want to fill in my wardrobe until this was answered.
Samples and up. Makes it MUCH easier to keep track of what scents I actually have.
If I was only counting full retail bottles, my wardrobe would be about half of what it is now. As such, my 'drobe will be substantially less in the next few months as the samples and decants are depleted.
Dave here.
Bottles only. If I counted samples I'd have about 400 scents in my wardrobe, instead of thirty-something. Perhaps I have too many samples...
Last edited by Off-Scenter; 6th December 2007 at 04:53 AM.
Bottles and decants over an ounce or so. I think I have one that's less but am unsure of the size, I count it anyways.
I don't count the small sample decants I usually get free from SA's, mostly because I don't wear 99% of them,
Only 1 oz. and up bottles for me in my wardrobe collection. As far as I'm concerned, not enough companies produce the 1 oz. bottles - I prefer them but I have only about 7 or 8 of them. I would buy a lot more fragrances if they came in the smaller 1 oz packages.
If I listed samples, I'd have almost 2,000.
Only commercial bottles that are supposed for sale or test.
I have a special list for decants, samples etc.

Records are made to be broken; it's just that some are harder to break than others. Take for instance Cincinnati Red's pitcher Johnny Vandermeer's back- to- back no hitters in the late 1930's. Or even Joe Di Maggio's 56 game hitting streak in 1941. They're still standing and probably will for many years to come.
But horse racing is different. Records are equaled and occasionally surpassed especially in this day and age of finer breeding and better racing equipment.
Many thought that Herve Filion's record of 15,183 winners would take a while to be broken but in relatively short order Dave Palone passed Herve's mark and is on his way to establishing a record of his own. And many will say Dave's record will be hard to beat.
Although this next record cited is no way equivalent as to the ones mentioned above, Walter Case Jr.'s 11,038 driving victories, which is currently sixth best all time, is in jeopardy of being overtaken by Billy "Zeke" Parker, Jr.
On Monday afternoon, August 26 at Monticello Raceway Zeke Parker reined his trotter Famous Dude to a convincing wire to wire seven- length triumph in a creditable time of 1:58. For the 59 year old Parker, it was his 150th winning drive of the season—third best on the Mighty M leaderboard this year—and more importantly it was his 11,028th win of his illustrious career.
With that victory Parker now remains just10 wins behind Case and soon he'll rein his 11,039th winner. And when he does, he'll move up to sixth pace all time in races won in the standardbred sport while moving Case back to seventh place.
Because Parkers career was mired mostly at the smaller racetracks there are those who view his incredible statistics unimportant when compared to those who race at the so-called 'big time'.
But as someone once said about Zeke's stats, "I don't care who he was driving against 11,000 is a lot of wins."
Two years ago Parker, a native of the Pine Tree State, was installed, and rightly so, the State of Maine's Harness Racing Hall of Fame.
The United States Trotting Association, which keeps the industry stats among other things, states that in his career-- through August 26, 2013 -- Parker has driven 54,360 times and won 11,028 races.
Assuming the numbers are correct Parker's career win percentage is .20 which means he won nearly 20 percent of the time.
And although Zeke is in the twilight of a wondrous career he still has plenty of wins in him before he hangs up his whip and gloves.

For those of you who read our review of the first issue of RID, you'll know that this is the more serious and in-depth of the two current Transformers stories. This tale of intrigue and political machinations based firmly on Cybertron initially lacked the pace of its sister publication and looked to take itself too seriously for some readers. In this second issue the dark tone of the series remains but the pace has, thankfully, very much increased.
Recapping the final actions of the first book – the death of Horri-Bull – this time from the Decepticons' point of view, this story starts to build its momentum in a glorious 2-page spread which is a rogues gallery of tertiary colours and a great way for Andrew Griffith to showcase his designs, iconic and crisp, and a balance of the more detailed styles that have been prevalent in the comics since the big screen movies forced upon us that 'flexible metal skin' just isn't acceptable these days. The various Constructicons, and Shockwave especially, stand out as hybrids of the old and new styles that work, but it is a style that doesn't flatter everyone as Starscream's cluttered design will take some getting used to whilst a pivotal moment at the end is almost spoiled by some inexplicably awful character design on what is an iconic fan-loved character that really hasn't survived the transition to IDW very well.
John Barber keeps the intricacies of the story enjoyable, exploring the strain and distrust within the Autobot ranks towards the 'pacified' Decepticons, and brings out a side of Bumblebee that we haven't really seen before, shown in his treatment of Starscream – an interesting role reversal from the days of old - an obvious indication that the pressures of command really do change a man. With this, and the staple internal struggle for power within the Decepticons themselves, one begins to see the depth of the writing within this book and can almost see the countdown to a return to civil war being the biggest enemy here.
Again, this is not a light hearted read. Character banter is minimal and the narration is complicated and twisting, but the slow burning story from last month is definitely beginning to gain momentum. Can the Autobots gain the trust of the Metalhawk and the NAILS, how will the Decepticons respond to Starscream's and Ratbat's power struggle and, as the comic ends in an assassination attempt and another high profile death, how are Barber and Griffith going to top this?
For those who like a more grown up theme to their alien space robots, Robots In Disguise is turning out to be a weighty political thriller with the stage being set for what the Decepticons do best which may not work for the casual fan, but for those looking for a bit of meat in a story, this is a very palatable entrée.
I would really not want to be Bumblebee right now.

What do some of the greatest investors of the 20th century -- Ben Graham, Warren Buffett, John Templeton, John Neff, David Dreman, Marty Whitman -- have in common? They're all value investors. What makes value investing so profitable? It's the triumph of reason and long-term thinking over emotion and short-term impulses.
As Ben Graham himself used to say, in the short term, the stock market is a voting machine, but in the long term, it's a weighing machine. In other words, a stock's price is determined by human emotions on a day-to-day basis, but it bows to economic fundamentals (such as cash flow growth and dividends) in the long run.
If the stock market were efficient, value investing couldn't outperform. Thankfully, history has proven the market anything but, allowing value investors to take advantage of this inefficiency.
Inside Value
At the Motley Fool Inside Value newsletter, we avidly search for undervalued opportunities in midsized and large U.S.-listed companies. We're looking for truly great companies at very good prices, companies that can consistently increase their value at above-average rates and provide investors with outstanding returns over the long haul. We'll also sometimes turn our gaze toward good or even mediocre companies, if their shares present truly great prices.
But at Inside Value, we won't overpay for growth. We insist on a margin of safety: setting our buy-below price a given percentage below our estimate of a stock's true worth. We aim to consistently beat the market -- by a wide margin, over a very long time -- while minimizing risk. Our long-term focus is a key advantage: Institutional investors routinely sell companies because they can't see any upside in the share price over the next two quarters. By contrast, we think that an analyst downgrade is often a good indication that a company might be a promising prospect.

The high school that I graduated from was not the best school for academics and I found that I did not possess many of the skills needed for succeeding in college. Thankfully, many of my professors spent time making sure that I understood my classes and assisted me in my assignments. I learned a lot of new things and even elevated my vocabulary an exceptional amount. I'm truly gratefully for my professors and their interest in all their students.

By Megan Fontenot
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
An old adage states that 'sports build character,' but for Texas Volleyball senior Hannah Allison, character may have built her talents as one of the nation's top setters.
As the youngest of John and Kelly Allison's two daughters, Hannah learned at an early age the importance of generosity and compassion. When she began playing volleyball at the age of 12, those same qualities that were cornerstones in the Allison home immediately translated into her position as setter.
"I enjoy helping others. As a setter, I help others to play the best way they know how to play. That is my biggest job, to make sure that all your hitters are in the best spot that they can be in to play their best," Allison explained.
During her high school campaign, Allison led Siloam Springs to four-consecutive Arkansas 5A State Championships (2006-09) and a record of 132-10. For her efforts, she was twice honored as the Gatorade Arkansas Volleyball Player of the Year and was PrepVolleyball.com's No. 9 overall player as a graduating senior in the class of 2010.
Texas volleyball associate head coach and recruiting director Salima Rockwell agrees that Allison's play on the court coupled with her unselfish attitude set her apart from other potential student-athletes on the recruiting trail.
"She loves it when someone else gets a kill," said Rockwell. "When I am recruiting setters, I like to see those that are more excited that someone else gets a kill than when they themselves block a ball."
For Rockwell – a three-time All-America setter at Penn State and the starting setter for the USA National Team in 1997 and 1998 - Allison's ability to cheer for her teammates' success only enhances her contributions as a setter.
"She enjoys making people around her better. For her, it is natural. For a setter, that's just the way it is - you run the offense while quietly making the team better, but you get to enjoy doing that. She takes pride in that. Making other people around you better is invaluable," Rockwell added.
Last season, Allison was named to the 2012 NCAA All-Tournament and NCAA Austin All-Regional Teams as the starting setter for Texas' run to the 2012 NCAA Championship. She guided the Longhorns to a .360 hitting percentage in the NCAA Championship matches against Michigan and Oregon. This season, Allison became just the eighth player in Texas history to eclipse the 3,000 career assists mark and she currently ranks No. 8 in the Longhorns' record book with 3,193.
According to Rockwell, Allison's attitude towards setting is a reflection of her personality off the court as well.
"She likes to take care of people, help others and make people around her - even outside the gym - better," said Rockwell. "She has been raised with good values. She has a huge heart, so any chance she gets to do something for someone else, she jumps at it."
In a moment of self-assessment, Allison echoed Rockwell's description of her.
"A lot of it has to do with having a big heart and my compassion for my teammates and everyone around me. Setting and volunteering both require a servant's heart and attitude of improving whatever environment you are put in. Both are fulfilling to me because I love to serve others," Allison concluded.
Rockwell, who also serves as the liaison between Texas student services and the team's community services, is a witness to Allison's commitment to helping others.
"Usually when I send an email for community service participants she is the first to say, "I am in, I will do it."
To Allison, volunteering is a direct reflection of her willingness to make the environment around her the best that it can be. During her career at Texas, she has devoted most of her free time to the cause through involvement in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
"Over these last four years, my time management has gotten better and I'm in a good position to give back even more now because this is my senior year and I have things figured out schedule-wise. With the extra time I've managed to find, I don't want to be selfish with it. It would be selfish of me not to give back to the community that has continuously supported our university," Allison said.
While Allison holds all of her service opportunities in high regard, she describes GENaustin as her favorite.
"GENaustin is an after school program for at-risk middle school girls in Austin. I went there to talk to the girls about college, having sports as a career and how to manage sports and school. I remember myself at that age, so it was rewarding to encourage them to know that you can be smart and good at sports, too," explained Allison.
In addition to her responsibilities both on and off the court, Allison still finds time to serve as the president of Horns 4 Horns, a social media organization created by Texas' SAAC to connect all student-athletes on the Forty Acres.
"It was a great opportunity to use our social media networks to get the word out about the community service opportunities we have as student-athletes in addition to our athletics competitions," said Allison. "The information is more easily accessible now, and it is a great way to lead others to volunteer."
Leave it to Hannah Allison – a natural giver in every sense - to find ways to make even social media a better place for everyone.

Warpehoski pulls petitions in 5th Ward as Ann Arbor City Council races take shape
Chuck Warpehoski has entered the 5th Ward race for the Ann Arbor City Council, pulling nominating petitions on Monday to run as a Democrat.
"I am in the race," Warpehoski confirmed. "I pulled my petitions this morning. I then went and bought a comfy pair of walking shoes from Fourth Avenue Birkenstock, so I'm ready to start pounding the pavement and campaigning."
Warpehoski is the first candidate to step forward since incumbent Carsten Hohnke, D-5th Ward, announced over the weekend he won't be seeking re-election this year.
Warpehoski is married to Nancy Shore, who is director of the getDowntown program, which is funded jointly through the AATA, the city of Ann Arbor and Downtown Development Authority.
So far no candidates have actually turned in petitions in any of the six city races that will be on the ballot this year.
The deadline to file to run in the August primary is May 15. Running for mayor requires 250 signatures, while running for council requires 100 signatures.
Republican Stuart Berry, who ran against Democratic incumbent Mike Anglin for his 5th Ward seat last year, pulled petitions to run for Hohnke's seat back in January. Berry could not be reached to confirm whether he still intends to run.
Vivienne Armentrout, a 5th Ward resident who ran against Hohnke as a Democrat in 2008, said she isn't planning on running this year. John Floyd, a Republican who has challenged Hohnke in the past, also said he's unlikely to run but hasn't ruled it out.
Mayor John Hieftje and three other council members have pulled petitions with intentions of defending their seats this year. That includes Tony Derezinski in the 2nd Ward, Christopher Taylor in the 3rd Ward and Margie Teall in the 4th Ward.
Teall is being challenged again by 4th Ward resident Jack Eaton, who lost to Teall in the 2010 Democratic primary.
Taylor faces no opposition in the 3rd Ward.
Sally Hart Petersen has pulled petitions to run as a Democrat against Derezinski in the 2nd Ward.
Sandi Smith, D-1st Ward, also is up for re-election this year but today said she isn't running. Sumi Kailasapathy, a certified public accountant who lost to Smith in the 2010 Democratic primary, pulled petitions Monday, vowing to make another run this year.
"I did lose last time, but I don't think the issues have gotten any better, and I think there is a role for a CPA on council," she said.
So far nobody is waging a campaign against Hieftje. Local business owner Tom Wall, who ran against Hieftje twice in the past, pulled petitions in January to run as a Democrat, but he's leaning against it now due to a lack of support for his campaign.
"I think I could be a very good mayor, but I've been out trying to get people to help join our campaign and I haven't been as successful as I wanted to be," he said.
"I think maybe the people of Ann Arbor are happy, and I like John," he added. "John is a good guy. I just have different views."
Hieftje has said there's a chance he might not run for re-election again after this year, meaning the mayor's seat could be up for grabs in 2014.

Run Chuck run! It would be fantastic to have you on City Council. ICPJ does great work.

"Vivienne Armentrout, a Fifth Ward resident who ran against Hohnke as a Democrat in 2008, said she is not planning on running this year." Too bad. She is the conscience of the Ann Arbor Democratic Party; ask Democratic Party heavyweights like Larry Kestenbaum and others who served with her on the Board of Commissioners and they will tell you she is one of the best informed, ethical and knowledgeable elected officials they have worked with. She was a major advocate of Ask Voters First and almost beat Hohnke in 2008 despite the backing he had from the Council Party. Ann Arborites need a candidate like Mrs. Armentrout running for City Council.

Part 4 Having run for Mayor twice Tom knows the time and commitment that is involved in such an endeavor. Previously, Tom has had a small group of supporters helping him in his campaigns. He has come to the realization that he needs more of an organization to be successful.. He needs your help to return Ann Arbor politics to the people and give them a say in their government. "This is a grass roots campaign I need a fresh group of Ann Arborites who will come forward to help me win the election." Some of the positions he needs filled are: 1. A Campaign manager 2. A Campaign promoter who will do posters, yard signs etc. 3. People to recruit individuals to host campaign neighborhood informational parties and neighborhood captains in all the wards who will work their precincts. 4. A Fundraiser Director familiar with campaign laws 5. A journalist and/or speech writer to put out press releases and help prepare statements and positional papers If people are unhappy with how the city of Ann Arbor is being run then show your support by contacting me at email@example.com.

Part 3 Tom was born in Ann Arbor in 1948, and attended Dicken, Slauson and University High School. He then went on to Eastern Michigan where he received his Masters in Special Education and played football on a scholarship. Tom has been married to Marie, a Burns Park Elementary teacher prior to her retirement, for 43 years. He has two adult children Brent and Kari and 3 grandchildren. Tom taught Special Education in Willow Run Schools and retired in 2000. He started All Star Driver Education in 1998 and has taught over 7500 Ann Arbor kids how to drive. Many of his Driver Education students know him as Captain Driver Ed. He is also the founder of the T. Wall Foundation, a foundation helping special children and their families in need. Every November, the students at Greenhills are involved in the T. Wall B-Ball, an event pairing up a Greenhills student and a special needs student for a morning of games and activities. Tom also was Camp Director of Camp Al-Gon-Quian and marketed and promoted the University of Michigan Men's Hockey team in Red's first year of coaching. He is an active member of several Ann Arbor civic and professional organizations, giving many hours to his community in volunteer efforts.

Part 2 Some of the things he won't do that have happened previously; Build a Police/Court House building that we can't afford Construct an underground parking structure we don't need. Try to push through a convention center over the underground parking facility without getting the approval of the residents of Ann Arbor. Lay off police and fire personnel lowering our staff below the recommended number. Have a one lane Stadium Bridge that is dangerous for cars to drive over and under. Push a train station we just don't need.

Part 1 TOM WALL SAYS, "ONE MORE TIME IF I CAN GET THE HELP AND SUPPORT I NEED" "SOME MEN SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE, I DREAM THINGS THAT NEVER WE'RE AND SAY WHY NOT." – Ted Kennedy Tom Wall has announced that he is considering running for Mayor of Ann Arbor in 2012. Before he agrees to run for Mayor for the 3rd and last time he wants to make sure that he has the support and backing to win the 2012 August primary. "In order to win this time around, I am going to need a great deal of support from the residents of Ann Arbor. I tried to run without the necessary organizational support in 2006 and 2008 and realize I can't do it on my own." In 2006 Tom garnered just over 20% in the general election running as an independent and in 2008 he received close to a third of the votes in the Democratic Primary. Here's what Tom envisions accomplishing in his role as Mayor; I plan on giving Ann Arbor back to the people. If there is a large project in the works where opposition is apparent, then we will ask the voters first before moving ahead. Provide open communication and transparency. Ann Arbor is not like any other city in Michigan. The University of Michigan keeps our city vibrant. Together we can make Ann Arbor the most exciting city in Michigan We should never have to make cuts to our fire and police forces We need to manage our money better and practice fiscal responsibility on a daily basis. Maintain city streets year around with an emphasis on pot holes and snow removal.
Mon, Apr 23, 2012 : 11:40 p.m.
Uhhh Tom: That quote was from Robert F. Kennedy during his 1868 primary campaign. Ted's most famous remark was "fam farmily" (trying to say "farm family").

"Sally Hart Petersen has pulled petitions to run as a Democrat against Derezinski in the 2nd Ward." So why no article on Ms. Petersen? We get one on The Mayor's buddy but not another candidate running against another buddy of the Mayor? Par for the course, par for the course.

Chuck wouldn't be a puppet to anyone or anything except for his conscience. Saying that he'd be the mayor's puppet shows no knowledge about the work of ICPJ. Taking a shot at his wife, who has also done great work in the community, is pathetic.

Housewares Trend Report: Shades of Pink
Every year we see a fair share of color at Housewares, but this year we saw an awful lot of pink, in all shades.
Major brands like Le Creuset introduced a baby pink into their lineup for the first time (only for the tea set and a new cake stand), while KitchenAid showcased two new pinky shades for their stand mixers: a salmon pink they're calling Watermelon, and another hot pink they've dubbed Cranberry. OXO has a new raspberry spatula, while Chef'n's soon-to-be-launched cookie cutters have a fuchsia stamp. And the Greek Yogurt maker from Dash, coming this summer? Pink, pink, pink!
While the baby pink is nice, we're partial to the fuchsia/raspberry tones. We like a bold blush! What about you?

(Props: MMA THE ZONE via MiddleEasy, once again)
As Ace Rothstein might say, "the probability on one [double-knockout] is a million-and-a-half to one. On three [fights in a single month] it's in the billions. It cannot happen, would not happen, you fuckin' mo-mo, whatsa matta wit you??"
The fact that we saw double KO's twice already in March — this clean double-dinger and this epic stumble-fest — is a statistical anomaly on par with Wanderlei Silva winning by choke. And bizarrely enough, it almost happened again in a fight between Kerwin Sherrill and Derek Thompson at MCF6 in North Platte, Nebraska, on Saturday. This time, it seemed like the referee's utter shock is the only thing that prevented him from stopping the fight an immediate no-contest/draw/whatever it is that happens when two guys dummy each other up at the same time.
Thompson went on to win the match, and likely claimed that he was "never really that hurt" in his post-fight interview.

Economist: Low Cattle Prices have time to rebound
Although finished-cattle prices that were expected to increase this year for producers remained low in the first quarter, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt said increases could be on the horizon.
Hurt said he earlier had thought that beef production would decline by three percent for the first half of the year and that cattle prices would be in the $130s by now, but that hasn't happened.
"So far this year, beef supplies have been down close to 1 percent," he said. "That means more beef than we expected, and more beef is certainly one of the contributors to lower cattle prices."
More supply isn't the only component of the lower-than-expected beef prices. Additional contributors include a weaker U.S. economy, reduced pork and chicken exports and high retail beef prices.
"The weak U.S. economy has many consumers shopping for value and beef has had higher retail price increases as compared with competitive animal proteins," Hurt said. "As an example, retail choice beef prices have been at record-high levels this year, reaching $5.30 per retail pound in the month of March."
Over the past six months, beef prices have risen six percent more than pork prices, 10 percent more than turkey, four percent more than chicken and seven percent more than eggs.
Higher beef prices for consumers, coupled with lower animal exports – pork exports were down by 14 percent in the first two months and chicken exports by three percent – have created more competition in the domestic market for beef.
Hurt said continued small supplies of beef for the rest of the year suggests a brighter future for cattle prices.
"Last-quarter supplies could drop by six to seven percent, with prices rising into the low $130s," he said. "First-quarter prices for next year should improve a few dollars toward the low- to mid-$130s. These forecasts are all higher than current futures prices."
If crop yields are closer to normal this year and corn is about $5 a bushel by harvest, those much lower feed prices will stimulate expansion of all animal species.
Hurt said with lower feed prices and improved pasture conditions, cattle producers are expected to retain more heifers. These early stages of herd expansion will draw the beef supply down even more and lead to higher cattle prices.
"This all suggests better days ahead for both finished cattle and calf prices," he said.

Junction of Route 31 & Route 9
Hillsborough, NH 03244
Toll free: (603) 478-3165
This 1804 mansion offers a window to our past, and the world of Franklin Pierce's childhood.
Operated by the Hillsborough Historical Society, the boyhood home of America's fourteenth president is a spacious and beautiful, federal style country home. Built by Pierce's father, it reflects the gracious and affluent living of the nineteenth century. A ballroom, which extends the entire length of the second floor, was used for entertaining neighbors and distinguished families of the state and nation. Franklin Pierce shared Daniel Webster's dedication to national unity and led our country during the most trying of times, the time of slavery.

Re: Green candidate wins School Board primary running against...
Mertz: My kind of guy!
Schools advocate TJ Mertz talks about Madison Prep, teachers and school 'reform'
CT: It was the Urban League of Greater Madison that brought Legend, Fuller and Canada to town recently for a fundraiser and education conference. You were strongly opposed to Urban League CEO Kaleem Caire's Madison Prep proposal for a charter school aimed at students of color. Why?
TM: The proposed programs of that school did not target the kids who are being failed by the district. Ask anyone who knows curriculum if the international baccalaureate is a way to address students who are grades behind, and they'll laugh. But that was what he was selling — so who was he targeting? Students below proficiency were the ones used in the PR campaign, which made it harder for them and a lot of other people to work with the school district. It was a bait-and-switch.
CT: You are an opponent of achievement test-based teacher evaluations. Is there any rational way to weigh how students are doing to evaluate how teachers are doing?
TM: When you get down to the classroom level, no. The sample size is too small; the data is all over the place. I'd rather have the professional judgment of peers and supervisors. When you get to the school level, you have enough information to guide you on where to look. But you should never let it drive your decision-making; we're falling too much into setting 'data goals' and doing way too much assessment. If we're doing it just to compare kids, we're wasting everyone's time and money.

~{2Peter 3:1}~This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you;in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets,and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 Knowing this first,that there shall come in the last days scoffers,walking after their own lusts,4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?for since the fathers fell asleep,all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,as some men count slackness;but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,but that all should come to repentance.10 But the day of the Lord will come --------------------------------- "----Peter Advises---[/list]12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, ------------------------ ".----Even Paul Speaks of This----[/list]15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;even as our beloved brother Paul alsoaccording to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; ------------------------------- "The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
Thanks a lot! It makes more sense to me. It seems that the whole idea that Christians are exempt from tribulation could only arise from Evangelical Protestants who have been lucky enough to avoid the massive persecution and tribulation that the Orthodox have had to deal with since the 1st century.
-snip-After all, he is going to make himself look good and appear to be the Messiah. Could some of the Fundies convince themselves the millenium has arrived?Probably not, but who knows?
From Linus7: Could some of the Fundies convince themselves the millenium has arrived?"Response from Buzzard:Only about 98% of them
During that time believers who were not dead when Christ returned will be procreating in the usual way, since they were allowed to into the millenial kingdom in their unglorified, physical bodies. Children born to them will be born in a state of Original Sin, with all that implies.Ultimately some of their descendants will chafe under the Lord's "rod of iron."Satan is loosed from his imprisonment and leads in a revolt against our Lord the rebellious humans who were born during the millenium.The rebellion is, of course, suppressed.The unrighteous dead are raised at that time and a final judgment is conducted. Eternity then ensues.As I am sure you can see, there are many many problems with this scenario. To make it work, there must be at least three resurrections, three Second Comings, three Last Judgments. All of that is ridiculous.The Orthodox position is that the millenium represents an indeterminate period of time that is occurring now, between the first and second advents of the Lord.
From what I've heard, I think that Iranaes or Origen or someone might have believed in a pre-trib rapture(though in the details a great deal different than modern Rapture theorists). That being said, one guy thinking it doesn't mean that's the proper interpretation nor is it the feelings of the early Church, nor was it continually taught.
Jonathan -I read a lot at the link you posted. Thanks.It was very interesting and certainly worth reading. Much of it, however, I found highly speculative.Father Athanasius seems to imply that Babylon, "the Great Whore," is the United States, without actually coming out and saying it.I disagree, but, then, I've been wrong before.I plan to go back and read more of it as time allows.

My whole family loves pizza. I love to to sit down with a big glass of root beer and a slice of pizza in my hand at the end of a long week (I've been craving a lot of pizza and root beer with this pregnancy)! Last weekend, we decided to try a different twist on pizza with these stuffed pizza rolls. They were so delicious and the seasoning on them is so flavorful! My family devoured every last one!
Stuffed Pizza Rolls Recipe:
(Recipe from Our Best Bites)
1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
2 Tbl. grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbl. olive oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
Mozzarella cheese, diced or grated
Pizza toppings of your choice: ie, ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.Marinara/pizza sauce for dippingPreheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package (usually it's 400 degrees).
Pizza toppings of your choice: ie, ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.Marinara/pizza sauce for dippingPreheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package (usually it's 400 degrees).
Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12″ by 8″. You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares, so just eyeball it if you need to. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares.
Place cheese and desired toppings on each square (Note that you're not putting the marinara sauce on the dough- it's for dipping after). You just need to be able to enclose the toppings in the dough so keep that in mind.When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish).
Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil or melted butter (I've used both and there's not much difference in result) and then sprinkle with the garlic, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese (I mixed all of these together and then sprinkled on top).
Cook them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them! Doughs vary, so I'd check them after even 10 minutes.Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

If history is an indicator, cotton acreage is due to decline in 2002 and prices are due to rebound in 2003.
"The past three times the United States and the world cotton markets got into a mess, the combination of the United States and China pulling back on acreage pushed prices up," says Mark Lange, vice president, policy analysis and program coordinator for the National Cotton Council.
"Within 12 months of the United States and China cutting acreage, prices rebounded to average levels. It is apparent that China will reduce acreage in 2002, and we expect a significant reduction in U.S. cotton acreage."
Lange, interviewed at the Beltwide Cotton Conference, says most cuts will come from the Mid-South as farmers switch "to soybeans. Some Far West acreage will divert to other crops that offer better opportunities than cotton."
He says acreage in the Southwest likely will remain flat. "Many growers in the Texas Plains, for instance, have no other option."
A big enough reduction in U.S. and Chinese cotton acreage will limit production to make a market correction. Production could drop to around 17 million bales.
Lange also expects the Southern Hemisphere to cut cotton acreage in 2002. "But it's hard to get a reading on Brazil."
Low prices help remove some of the carryover out of market channels.
"At current prices, cotton may make inroads into blends. Four years ago, we saw a lot of 60/40 blends with cotton and polyester. It became hard to find a 100 percent-cotton garment. With cotton prices down below polyester, we could see more 100 percent-cotton fabric."
Lange expects export levels in Mexico and the Caribbean Basin to remain flat for 2002. He's also convinced that cotton farmers need a farm bill as soon as possible.
"It is our intent to use every resource of the National Cotton Council to push for passage of a farm bill as early as possible when Congress returns. Failure to move quickly will threaten the ability of Congress to deliver the levels of support that were discussed last fall."

Hendry grabs one-shot lead in Queensland PGA Championship
NEW Zealand's Michael Hendry will take a one-shot lead into tomorrow's final round of the Coca-Cola Queensland PGA Championship following a see-sawing battle at City Golf Club today.
Hendry shot his second score of six-under-par 62 for the tournament to move to -14 after three rounds.
Brad Kennedy and David McKendrick are breathing down his neck at -13.
Kennedy, one of four co-leaders at the start of play, finished three-under for the day.
McKendrick was one of day's big movers with his 62 backing up his Friday score of 61 to motor him up the leaderboard.
Nine players go into tomorrow's chamionship day with only four shots between them.
Rohan Blizard (-4) sits on 12-under, while Matt Giles (-2) and Anthony Summers are poised on -11.
Tom Bond (-6), amateur Cameron Smith (even), and Adam Bland (-7) also remain in contention at 10-under.
Bland produced the day's lowest round after starting in sensational fashion.
The South Australian's seven-under-par score on his opening nine included an eagle on the 10th and a hole-in-one on the par three 17th.
His final score of 62 helped rocket him from equal 36th overnight into a tie for seventh
Bland's fellow South Australian Jason Norris who started the day in a tie for fourth started his round with a double-bogey and never recovered on his way to a four-over 72.
He slipped from to equal 25 th on six-under-par and out of contention.
Toowoomba professionals Ian Esson and Andrew Tschudin are also out of the major money running, back on -3 and -2 respectively.
Play restarts at 9am tomorrow.
Hendry, Kennedy and McKendrick begin their rounds on the first tee at 11am.
Spectator entry to the course is free.
After three rounds
Par: 68

Brights done right! We love the fearlessness of this printed pants-lime green jacket-cobalt hat combo.
A chunky beaded statement necklace sets this look apart from the rest.

This showgoer is red hot in a bright dress and funky shades.
Who knew kimonos could be so chic? We're also digging these lace socks.
Wild shoes make blogger Peony Lim's cuffed jeans anything but basic.
This girl keeps it nice and light in white and pastel blue.
Matching her socks to this artsy print dress was a daring move that certainly paid off.
We're seriously lusting after this model's leather backpack and cheeky tee.
This tangerine take on a pantsuit is anything but stuffy.
Structured and unusual, this top provides style for miles.
Tough accessories contrast nicely with this (very British!) coatdress.
Red on red is twice as nice, especially when a Peter Pan collar is involved.
The peplum made another run on the catwalk — and in the streets.
This jean jacket is the perfect not-too-dark (and not-too-late) wash.
Turtlenecks and trainers are school-friendly and super trendy.
Olivia Palermo shows us why she's a street style star in a tiered skirt and arm full of bracelets.
This model shuttles between shoes with ease thanks to low-heeled booties and comfy jeans.
Gray tights help this girl's bright blazer and jewel-toned skirt stand out.
Never underestimate the chic factor of a traditional trench. The Blonde Salad's Chiara Ferragni sure doesn't!
Nothing says British style quite like a tophat.
We can't get over this dreamy, creamy combo and sequined bag.
This model sports fresh-from-the-runway hair and makeup, plus an amazing green bag.
Eyelash fringe, tons of graphic, and clear plastic cowboy heels (!) take this look into the style stratosphere.
The bamboo hardware on this girl's Gucci bag is too cool.
This showgoer plays with texture, from her suede bag to her houndstooth coat.
Shorts under a long shirtdress? Genius.
We've never met an embellished sweater we didn't love.
There's nothing like some bright hues to liven up a gray London day!
Things that go great together: socks and heels, sweaters and skirts.
Talk about back-to-school inspiration! This girl would look just as cool in class as she does between shows.
We love the juxtaposition of vampy red heels with an elegant floral pencil skirt.

Blei left his job teaching English at Lyons Township High School near Chicago in 1968 for what he thought would be the perfect place: Door County. And it was. He took up residence in a classic writer's lair — a farmhouse in the woods, where he would produce 18 books — short stories, novels, essays — in a career spanning 40 years. Much of the time he worked from a converted chicken coop in the woods, piled high with papers and about 3,000 books. — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 12/20/13
"I like artists who are almost obsessed with their work — painters who paint, writers who write, potters who make pots. You write to find out about yourself. If you're in areas where you're not finding out about yourself, it's futile. You're wasting your time."

MPAA Pretends Dodd Didn't Say That New SOPA Negotiations Were Underway
from the nice-try-guys dept
I'm not going to revisit the events of last winter. I'll only say to you that I'm confident he's using his good relationships in both communities to do exactly what you and I have been talking about.For all the winking and nodding, the meaning of the statement was pretty clear. Of course, now that it's getting plenty of attention and the MPAA is getting slammed from every direction for continuing its braindead backroom strategy, the organization is simply denying Dodd said what he said:
"Sen Dodd did not say SOPA is coming back to life. He said the tech and entertainment industries need to come together to work on a new solution and those conversations are beginning. SOPA is gone. The path forward now is a serious conversation between all involved industries about new solutions, and that was Sen Dodd's point."That's an interesting twist on what he actually said, but even if we take the MPAA at their word, this still shows how out of touch they are. Notice that they say the path forward is not an open conversation with internet users. Nope. It's a backroom negotiation between "all involved industries." It's as if the MPAA can't even get its mind around the fact that the stakeholders here are the internet users -- or that any such discussions should be done in public. Instead, the only thing it can think of is that it has to negotiate in backrooms with industry reps. I don't think I've ever come across an organization so ridiculously tone deaf.
