GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
i currently have 2 children attending this school, & I am happy with the school. My children seem to be happy and they never have any complaints about the school or the staff..
Both of my kids have been at Wolters since Kindergarten and I haven't had any problems with the way this school has done things. When my son needed extra help in math, his teacher didn't waste anytime and advice me about a program after school for it. I signed him up and he has improved in math. My daughter is in the same program but it's in the morning. Whenever thier is a issue the staff sees to it that I'm contacted right away and I'm always informed about it. The staff is wonderfull and I've had no problems with the staff. I've seen first hand to many of the staff members taken beatings from students and the parent shouldn't complain about the staff but act on how there kid is behaving at school. Wolters is the best by far!!!!
Not happy with the way my student is treated by the staff and other students. Too much verbal and physical abuse allowed among students. Rough crowd.
My daughter has been at this school for 3 yrs and even though it has falled in Title I for the last 4 yrs, everyone at the school does their best to make all the children learn and do their best. The administrators, especially Phyllis the secretary, always has the smile on their faces and always welcomes you with the most welcoming smile on their faces. I'm so glad that my daughter got to be part of this school. But mostly it's the Mrs. Hawkin and Mrs. William that makes the school shine so bright. They are the best principal and vice principal that I've worked with. I'm just so thrilled to know them.
The availability of sports, P.E. and music is very poor. I believe these students should have more out door activity. I really feel the school lunch's are very poor and less healthy. The amount of time these students have to eat is also very unhealthy. They are rushed to eat, stuffing food instead of being able to take their time. Thats just a few things I can disagree with at this school.

I don't know enough about Wonder Man to say for sure.
I suppose they do both have similar powers, that's interesting... Wonder Man can currently fly under his own steam too, can't he? So there's no BS of destroying his belt.
I'd have to say the experience, and cumulative time alive (unlike on-again, off-again WM) would be a big advantage over Wonder Man.
They're probably equally matched as far as strength goes, but I'd also think Namor might just have a little more in the tank if it went into overtime.
Is Wonder Man still an ion-dude?
There might be some kind of advantage in using that energy to dry Namor out... but, it really wouldn't be major.
Namor wins.
Wonderman is totally the shit and would probably just fly Namor out into outerspace until he suffocated and died
then he'd pee on him, because that's what Namor gets

There isn't a low that somebody who gets sloppy seconds from a robot will not stoop to. Wonderman, and it ain't pretty.
Depends on if we are near water or not--if Namor can get the fight underwater, he'll win....otherwise, Wondy has a decent shot of beating him.
Wonderman,Namor's a bit of a dim bulb.From what i recall he was stuck in a mansion once (with spidey,firestar,iceman and some other guys)and was getting weak,so he jumped in an indoor pool to replenish himself,except it was a pool of alcohol and he passed out from dehydration.Way to use the ol' sniffer!!!!

Brilliance Multiplied
The Early X Foundation's mission is to become the world's most respected and influential leader in educating business executives, MBA students and laboratory researchers in the process of leveraging and monetizing intellectual property assets.
Our purpose is to partner with National Research Laboratories, University Research Laboratories, and For-Profit Labs to help them monetize their Intellectual Property Assets through our innovation training and creative problem-solving processes.
The Early X Foundation was created to help researchers discover and develop multiple new revenue opportunities from their latent intellectual property assets. In 2010, we ran a pilot program with UC Santa Barbara working with four of their IP assets. Using our Early X Discovery Process we identified 135 new market-licensing opportunities from which we develop numerous market feasibility reports. In 2012 Early X was spun-out of the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University as a California non-profit organization.
The Early X Foundation is currently working with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to leverage two of its IP assets. We have identified over 100 new vertical market opportunities and created market entry plans for thirteen of these. To accomplish this, we hired 26 MBA alumni to perform feasibility analysis and develop market entry plans with the assistance of our partner lab and a cadre of highly experienced business executives.
We recently created a for-profit company (Champion Technology Company Inc.) to leverage the dozens of vertical market revenue opportunities we have developed for one of those PNNL IP assets.
We are not an incubator or accelerator, we are "earlier" than that. We create multiple, new revenue opportunities directly from a research laboratory or a company's existing IP portfolio.
We have designated the Entrepreneurship Program at the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University to be a primary recipient of donatable dollars raised by the foundation - http://bschool.pepperdine.edu/programs/mba/curriculum/concentrations/entrepreneurship/

Women's Hockey Brawl, USA Vs Canada
There is nothing like a good hockey fight, especially when it's two women's teams. Check it out as chaos breaks out on the ice as these girls battle it out. I love hockey.

This is beyond kind and strange. Canadian man and former CEO, Thomas Crist won the lottery last year, hitting for $40 million dollars. Crist kept his jackpot a secret until recently, even hiding it from his four children. Now, he is making headlines because he plans on giving all of the money away to charity.
Yep, even in Canada where everything is laidback compared to here in the U.S. they still have their share of unruly people when the suds start flowin'. And just like here in the states when drunk people get out of hand and have a run-in with the cops, they get tazed
I know the saying 'If it smells like cologne, leave it alone' or 'If it smells like fish, eat all you wish'. What about if it smells like pizza? Canadian Pizza Hut's are now offering Pizza Hut Perfume!
When a little boy first gets potty trained they dream of being like their dad and being able to stand while peeing -- but not if you're Canadian! A reporter for the Vancouver Sun was recently visiting a Vancouver area restaurant and noticed something peculiar in the restroom -- the 'no peeing while standing' sticker above the toilets.
A guy that was currently in a relationship had no problem going on a blind date. The thing is, the blind date turned out to be his girlfriend.
Let's just say she was not amused.
Well, go figure. It really does pay off to be beautiful! Research shows that pretty people are happier and richer than not so pretty people.
According to this new news anchor (self-proclaimed) Vancouver, Canada will have a severe earthquake soon, or in the near future, or beyond. I think this guy is a earthquake expert! And don't forget to put your dishes in your cupboard!
Even after 500 hours of use a Quebec man is still waiting for his penis pump to start working. Now he is taking the penis pump producer to small claims court, fighting for under average men everywhere. Check out the details inside.

Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Old El Paso cheese and salsa
1 cup cooked rice
2 teaspoon Paula Deen's House Seasoning
2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 lb ground pork
3/4 lb ground chuck
4 large red bell peppers
1/2 cup green onion tops, chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup hot water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Start by cutting the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact, and halving them also. Remove the seeds and ribs inside the peppers.
Using a hot skillet, saute the ground beef, pork, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of bouillon granules, and House Seasoning together. Saute well until onions become translucent. Drain the fat off. Add the rice, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, green onion tops, and soy sauce. Mix well and stuff the mixture into the peppers. In a small bowl, mix the hot water and the remaining bouillon granules. Pour this mixture into a shallow casserole large enough to hold all of the peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in the dish, cover with foil and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Remove the foil and spoon the juice from bottom of the casserole over the top of the peppers. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
really enjoyed these! i did tweak the recipe some. i added a handful of toasted pinenuts,and i used four pieces of bacon. i don't know what old el paso cheese and salsa is, so where it says that, i used a handful of shredded cheddar/jack mix; where it said tomatoes, i used fresh salsa. making this one again!

Every year on the Friday before the New York City Triathlon, about 500 people in their skivvies gather in Central Park for the Jamaica Underwear Run. This may be the sporting event in the city that requires the least equipment—just show up in your undies (and a pair of shoes) for the 1.7-mile race. Sponsored by the Jamaican Tourist Board, and JetBlue Airlines, there is also a contest to win a trip to Jamaica for the runner with the best "Jamaican costume." We can't find a definition for that, although there is a video with last year's top contestants, which is worth watching on YouTube. (By the way, the Naked Cowboy was there last year, but we don't know if he participated or just showed up for the photo op.) And in case you didn't know, there is a world record for people gathered in their underwear. Last year's run broke that record with 448 entrants, and more are expected this year. Alas, registration for this year's run is closed, but this is a great spectator sport.

text: Either i am not looking hard enough or they just dont exist but i cant find half decent bridesmaid dresses that are reasonably priced. I have three bridesmaids and all of them want straps. My colour is midnight blue and would prefer knee length dresses. The only ones i can find that i like are on dressy.com but i think they are a tad expensive for a dress they will most likely wear for one day. Anyone got any good sites that they have used in the UK or know of any shops which hire out bridesmaid dresses?

You guys have been asking the question, so we thought we'd clear a few things up for you.
Is there a difference between the two aside from a few vowels?
The studies that boast of chocolate's amazing health benefits are not referring to your average store-bought chocolate bar (damn misleading researchers). The chocolate that they're referring to is raw cacao.
Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans. The process keeps the living enzymes in the cocoa and removes the fat (cacao butter).
Cocoa looks the same but it's not. Cocoa powder is raw cacao that's been roasted at high temperatures. Sadly, roasting changes the molecular structure of the cocoa bean, reducing the enzyme content and lowering the overall nutritional value.
What are the health benefits of raw cacao?
- Lowers insulin resistance.
- Protects your nervous system: Cacao is high in resveratrol, a potent antioxidant also found in red wine, known for its ability to cross your blood-brain barrier to help protect your nervous system.
- Shields nerve cells from damage.
- Reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Reduces your risk of stroke.
- Reduces blood pressure.
- Slows the ageing process by assisting with nitric oxide metabolism: Nitric oxide protects your heart by relaxing your blood vessels and thereby lowering your blood pressure. However, nitric oxide production produces adverse reactions and toxic metabolites, which must be neutralised by your body so they don't result in oxidative damage to your blood vessel lining. Cocoa polyphenols protect your body from these metabolites and help counter the typical age-related decline in nitric oxide production.
- Guards against toxins: as a potent antioxidant, cacao can repair the damage caused by free radicals and may reduce the risk of certain cancers. In fact cacao contains far more antioxidants per 100g than acai, goji berries and blueberries. Antioxidants are responsible for 10% of the weight of raw cacao.
- Boosts your mood: cocoa can increase levels of certain neurotransmitters that promote a sense of well-being. And the same brain chemical that is released when we experience deep feelings of love – phenylethylamine – is found in chocolate.
- It is rich in minerals: magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, copper and manganese.
If cacao is more beneficial than cocoa because it's raw, what happens when we cook it?
Very good question, and we're glad you asked… unfortunately there is no science on whether or not heating raw cacao destroys its antioxidant level making it more akin to its heated and processed cousin cocoa. BUT we figure if you start off with the product in its raw form, it has to be more beneficial than starting with an already heated and processed equivalent.
Let's end with an interesting tid-bit…
So if you're making a cacao shake you're better off using a non-dairy milk like almond or coconut in order to reap all of the antioxidant benefits. Fact!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
In the realtime strategy game Starcraft (also by Blizzard), one of the three factions are called the Zerg. They are a race of biological manipulating aliens. One of their strengths is the ability to create massive numbers of low level units very quickly.
One common tactic is to quickly create large hordes of cannon fodder troops and sweep over the enemy before he can get his own troops and infrastructure established. This is called "zerging."
It has evolved to cover similar situations where you go fully offensive, often completely ignoring defense or full preparation, in hopes of overwhelming your objective.
In WOW, it if also often used when players of a much higher level than the content they are facing power through the opposition with little or no preparation or downtime.
High level players are also often asked to "zerg" lower level toons through content, essentially letting a high level toon one-man a quest or instance while the low level tags along.

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.
I know why you're here. You want information.
Well sit down, grab a cold soda (you know the one) and I'll tell you what I know.
I've known Flav since 2011. He started out as a small time operation in Southern California with 5 flavors under his belt. Man, those were the days. Since then, he's expanded to multiple vendor locations taking the refreshment world by storm. How's he doing it? See, Mr. Flav doesn't make any promises about giving you energy, vitamins. These other jokers that use marketing to imply their product will make you stronger or better looking. Nope, all Mr. Flav wants you to do is sit back and , "Enjoy It!"
Who's Mr. Flav you ask? Well, wouldn't you like to know.

Select Industry
What is Tyvek®?
DuPont™ Tyvek® has introduced new dimensions of protection, security and safety in a wide variety of industries, including protective apparel, medical packaging and construction.
Made from very fine, high-density polyethylene fibers, DuPont™ Tyvek® brand protective material offers all the best characteristics of paper, film and fabric in one material. This unique balance of properties, not found in any other material, makes Tyvek® lightweight yet strong; vapor-permeable, yet water-, chemical-, puncture-, tear- and abrasion-resistant. DuPont™ Tyvek® is also low-linting, smooth and opaque.
A miracle of science from DuPont
The discovery of DuPont™ Tyvek® was a chance occurrence by a DuPont researcher, Jim White, who in 1955 noticed white polyethylene fluff coming out of a pipe in a DuPont experimental lab. A program to develop the new material was set up, and a year later DuPont submitted a patent proposal for strong yarn linear polyethylene.
The proprietary flash-spinning technology, which is the basis for what was to become DuPont's new engineered sheet structure, took several more years to perfect. In 1959, a pilot facility was established for trial applications. In 1965, the new engineered sheet structure was registered under the trademark name DuPont™ Tyvek®, but it was not until April 1967 that commercial production of DuPont™ Tyvek® started.
Flash spinning and bonding process
DuPont™ Tyvek® is formed by a fully integrated process using continuous and very fine fibers of 100 percent high-density polyethylene that are randomly distributed and nondirectional. These fibers are first flash spun, then laid as a web on a moving bed before being bonded together by heat and pressure—without the use of binders, sizers or fillers. By varying both the lay-down speed and the bonding conditions, DuPont technicians can engineer the flashspun sheet to meet market needs, such as soft- and hard-structure DuPont™ Tyvek®.
DuPont™ Tyvek® and construction
Some of the best-known applications of DuPont™ Tyvek® are in the construction industry, where it represents a good building practice. Used to increase air and water resistance, it helps to lower heating and cooling costs in buildings while providing better protection against water and moisture intrusion. The unique qualities of DuPont™ Tyvek® help stop air flow through wall cavities; help hold out bulk water and wind-driven rain; and allow moisture vapor to escape from inside walls. Even a 10mph wind can reduce R-value of insulation by as much as 60%. A home wrapped in DuPont™ Tyvek® will maintain 94 percent of its installed R-value, compared to only 37 percent for a home without DuPont™ Tyvek®. DuPont™ Tyvek® also helps to reduce moisture within well-designed and constructed walls. It is a good choice of materials to help prevent mold and mildew. The properties in DuPont™ Tyvek® do not support mold growth.
Using DuPont™ Tyvek® results in more comfortable, energy-efficient buildings with far fewer chances for damage from degradation effects.

2:55 past evening, lights still blinking to the vibes of the beat
Hard to fall a asleep when your mind is too deep too steep
For my pair of feet to ever reach the sea
Now I gotta know.. whos got the flow?
From the high class to your average joe
Speaking slowly surely from the soul
Doesn't matter if ya dirt poor or got the dough
When ya mixing words in a slur visuals are blurred
Senses are diminished objectives can't be finished
Can't complete my own sentence, can't remember the proper verbs
gotta pick and choose a word that best describes my world
From dusk to dawn, as I yawn from ripping bongs
Its time to lit a grit to level my consciousness
waterfalls and aqueducts my pathways open up
reservoirs streaming as im constantly dreaming
cold cash and demons, a thousand theses
as i reach for the piece that gives me a sense of completeness
i'm smoking away all the problems decay
takin' it slow when theres time to delay
never afraid to try to relate the pressure, emotions, and the mental state
and again, i'm late to slay the beast from the east as i speak in ease
while eating chinese for free, smoking trees for weeks
whether or not the weather seem sunny or bleak
neither strong or the weak, may truly rest in peace
hell of a session for the high that i seek
never will i dream a hopeful imagery
take a knee for my niggas that bleed misery
wasting the minutes of power it limits
keep pinching away like the men from the senate
oh granted each land engraved with cement
the value declines a tenth of a percent
lament while i break some wine and bread
to ensure my body and soul well fed
to endure the sorrow that was left unsaid
to infer the reason why i wish to be dead

kickin it back as a limo drives by
stopped as i coughed from the toking and choking
my lungs anointed the holiest potion
odd proportions of colors and shapes
slip on my cape then soon fly away
never look back when life decays
progress in motion to constant delay
faces contorted mission aborted
perception inverted my faith distorted
drinking milk tea by gallons with ease
drinking dirt water when i cant afford it
trippin' aint listenin' to none of your shit
the stupidest things to ever exist
no thanks to your bullshit left me crippled and twisted
in short it made first place on my list

An Empirical Analysis of Income Inequality between a Minority and the Majority in Urban China: The Case of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
AbstractBased on the urban survey data of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in 2006, this paper studies the impact of ethnic characteristics on the income determination mechanism in the same economic region. Using the decomposition methods of Blinder and Oaxaca, Fields, and Morduch and Sicular, we analyze income gap between employed Hui and Han as well as income inequality within the two ethnic groups. The main conclusions are, first, that there is almost no income gap between Han and Hui in Ningxia. But different ethnic characteristics have effects on the income determination mechanism. Ethnic factors such as religion and social capital have no obvious effect on the income determination.

Three additional national associations, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, the Tile Contractors Association of America, and the International Masonry Institute, have endorsed a Position Statement on floor flatness tolerances written by the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC). The position statement had previously been endorsed by the National Wood Flooring Association and the Flooring Contractors Association. Members of all seven associations will use the document to help resolve this ongoing construction issue.
The statement explains that flooring contractors (Division 9) and concrete contractors (Division 3) measure floor flatness by different means. In addition, floor flatness changes with time, due to a process called curling. Curling makes it impossible to predict what the flatness of a slab will be when the floor coverings are installed.
The solution to this, the associations agree, is for the owner to provide a bid allowance, established by the designer and based on the floor covering requirements, for grinding and patching necessary to close the gap between Division 3 tolerances and Division 9 tolerances.
"The difference between how Division 3 and Division 9 measure floor flatness, and the changes that occur in a concrete slab between pouring and the time the floor covering is applied, have been the source of many arguments, much misspent time and numerous lawsuits," says Bruce Suprenant, technical director of ASCC.
"We believe an allowance in the bid would accomplish two things," says Suprenant. "First, it would cover the cost of the patching and grinding that is almost always required. Second, it brings the issue to the attention of the owner and designer early on, hopefully forcing them to acknowledge that the point in question does in fact exist."
"Many members of the ASCC have successfully used this Position Statement to drive home this point with owners," says Mike Poppoff, president of the ASCC. "We believe a joint statement from Division 3 and Division 9 contractors will carry even more weight. The intent of all seven organizations is that it will be used to make the construction process go more smoothly for all involved."
The Floor Flatness Position Statement may be downloaded at www.ascconline.org.
The ASCC is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of those who build with concrete, and to providing them a unified voice in the construction industry. Members include concrete contracting firms, manufacturers, suppliers and others interested in the concrete industry such as architects, engineers and specifiers. There are approximately 500 member companies in the United States and 9 foreign countries. For more information, visit ascconline.org or call the ASCC office at (866) 788-2722.

Weinkauf Takes Mid-Season Checkers
Posted under Race Reports by Chris Budzban on June 23rd, 2007
By Mary Langreck
June 23, 2007; Marshfield, WI: – The TJ's Auto & 8th Street Auto of WI Rapids Mid-Season Championships proved to be an exciting night at the races. Chris Weinkauf not only topped the super late feature but was also the fast timer. After weeks of taking second in qualifying, Rick Grunden earned the fast timer honors of the super stock division. The 4-Cylinder Bill Dunow Memorial fast time award was again earned by Jeremiah Strauss. The pure stock division events were again swept by Kyle Genett.
The CarQuest super late model feature began with the fastest cars at the back of the field. The first four laps of the race were led by Cale Laessig in a borrowed machine from John Totzke Jr, as his motor blew only two day before. Neil Knoblock pressured Laessig for that lead until he pulled ahead on the fifth lap. Fast timer Chris Weinkauf raced his way to the front in short order, but the top few positions proved harder to overtake. Weinkauf working towards the lead, contended with Eugene Gregorich Jr for a few laps over second place, while Jeff Weinfurter and Ben Pettis fought for the last two top five spots. Weinkauf moved to the outside groove and began to pull away from Gregorich. It would be an eight lap battle to steal the lead away from Knoblock. With only six laps remaining, Gregorich passed Knoblock for second, and would work towards that lead. Weinkauf continuing to run that outside groove, proved to be faster, and sailed for the win, taking home his Krings Motorsports of Arpin, feature win award. Gregorich second, Knoblock third, Weinfurter fourth and Pettis fifth.
Chad Scholl drove out into the lead of the CarQuest super stock feature, from his pole position start. Randy Emmerich was hot on his heels, until he began a battle with Adam Krzykowski and then Rick Grunden. Behind Grunden, Travis Zvolena and Mike Gwidt raced for the fourth spot. Brian Back was on a mission and up to fourth before he was forced to pit due to a flat left rear tire. At the half-way point, Grunden passed Emmerich and set his sites on the lead. A battle ensued for the lead between Scholl and Grunden. For five laps Grunden worked the outside groove to take away the lead. As the two came out of turn four they made contact, causing both to spin, sending Scholl into the wall, and forced to pit. Zvolena assumed the lead for the restart. Gwidt pulled up into second, Mark Langreck third, Emmerich fourth and Grunden back up to fifth. Grunden raced the outside to try and take away fourth from Langreck, but to no avail. Zvolena won, earning the Beway Race Products feature win award and the RZ Builders bonus pay. Gwidt second, Emmerich third, Langreck fourth and Grunden fifth.
The first four laps of the 4-cylinder feature were led by Kevin Eckes. The next seven laps were led by Steve Hauser. A caution on lap ten tightened up the field for the re-start. JJ Flick made his move for the lead with four to go. Derk Hauser, Steve's son, was right there to take away second. Ricky Brandl, who started mid-pack, gained a position on the restart, taking over third. Kyle Opelt, started 14th due to winning the feature last week, also gained on the re-start, breaking into the top five. At the white flag, Opelt passed Steve Hauser for fourth. Flick won the feature and the Westside Service of Auburndale award. Derk Hauser second, Brandl third, Opelt fourth and Steve Hauser fifth.
The pure stock feature lap one was led by Ryan Mork. Gary Haarklau took charge of the field for the next three laps, until Kyle Genett drove past him for the lead. Genett led the final eight laps for the win. Mork made his pass on Haarklau stick at the checkered to earn second, Haarklau third and Coletta Gomes fourth.
The Mid-Season points trophies sponsored by Beway Race Products were earned by a combination of points tonight during qualifying, heat and feature. Chris Weinkauf earned first in the super lates, Eugene Gregorich Jr second and Neil Knoblock third. The super stock trophies were awarded to Travis Zvolena, Randy Emmerich and Mike Gwidt, respectively. Kyle Opelt took first in the 4-cylinder mid-season points, JJ Flick second and Ricky Brandl third. Kyle Genett's clean sweep won him the pure stock trophy, Ryan Mork second and Coletta Gomes third.

VANCOUVER – You couldn't keep the smiles off of their faces.
The United States Women's Hockey Team has spent the last six months barnstorming North America for this very moment, where all of the pre-Olympic practices, meetings and preparation became reality. Where Team USA would take the ice in front of a boisterous crowd of 5,000+ at UBC Thunderbird Arena and the games would finally be real.
The first step was a dominant 12-1 victory over China that saw the red, white and blue outshoot their opponents 61-6 over the 60-minute bloodbath. The old veterans, Angela Ruggiero and Jenny Potter scored, as did the new kids, Jocelyn Lamoureaux, Kelli Stack and Meghan Duggan.
"This is just the start of a five game journey," Stack said. "We had to go out and attack China like any other opponent and that's what we did."
Head Coach Mark Johnson's club nearly escaped without a hitch, until 5'0" Erika Lawler, the shortest member of the U.S. Olympic Team, took a nasty spill into the end boards racing for a puck in the middle of the second period. She grimaced in pain as she left the ice under her own power, but did not return to the ice for the rest of the game.
"We'll evaluate where she's at and make decisions later," Johnson said.
The two North American superpowers (Canada included) have outscored their opponents 30-1 over the last two days at the hockey venue, sparking criticism over the tournament's lack of balance.
"Clearly if you're on the losing side of a hiding, it's never much fun," said IOC Director of Communications Mark Adams this morning. "But I'm sure they had a great experience and I'm sure they're thankful to be Olympians."
Even with the talent gap there's no negating that this is the real amateur tournament in Vancouver. For all of those that complain about big contracts, this is the story for you; real amateurs, real student athletes, and the only controversy swirling around the girls next door is that they may be too good.
Sure, the Americans are back-to-back World champions heading into these Olympics, but this isn't the World Championships. And in women's hockey, this event is the pinnacle of their sport, an event that happens once every four years with the entire world watching.
"When we went out for warm ups and everyone's wearing your colors, I just thought to myself 'this is so cool," Lawler said of the crowd. "At one point I just heard some random fan from the stands scream my name and I don't think I've ever heard that before."
And they've taken advantage of it.
Kacey Bellamy and Kelli Stack met Shaun White at the Opening Ceremony. There was the team meeting with Sandra Oh, of Grey's Anatomy fame and Vice President Joe Biden.
"I think it all became real during the Opening Ceremonies," goaltender Molly Schaus said. "Walking out into that stadium, with all of the gear. It's just so hard to describe the pride you have at that moment."
You just can't keep the smile off their faces. That is, until they take the ice against Russia in just a few days time.
"At some point you have to just open up the gate and let them play," Johnson said. "That's the balance we're trying to achieve."

Posted: Jun 3, 2011
Saturday will mark the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Kyron Horman, who vanished from a northwest Portland school after an early-morning science fair.
In the past 12 months, despite an exhaustive investigation, Multnomah County detectives have not named a suspect or a person of interest in the boy's disappearance.
But from the beginning, Kyron's stepmother, Terri Horman, has been the focus of suspicion.
Terri Horman is now living with her parents, Larry and Carol Moulton, on a quiet neighborhood street in Roseburg.
No one answered the door when a FOX 12 reporter stopped by the home. A sign posted on the front door refers all media questions to lawyer Stephen Houze, but Houze has continued to say he cannot comment on an open case.
Jeff Manley, a longtime friend to Larry and Carol Moulton, says he knows Terri Horman's parents are suffering.
"The people and the neighborhood, mostly people's sympathies are all for Mr. and Mrs. Moulton," he said. "They feel very bad for them. They know them -- they're good people."
Manley said the community feels differently about Terri Horman. While she may have a history in the town, Manely thinks that's where it ends.
"She's been around here for a while, but she has her problems and people have forgotten about her, and there are different opinions about that," said Manley, who lives in the same neighborhood as the Moultons. "But the support system around here is for her parents."
Kyron Horman's mother, Desiree Young, is trying to tap into that support. She still believes Terri Horman was involved in the boy's disappearance, so she continues to bring her fight to Terri Horman's front door, holding candlelight vigils in the Moultons' neighborhood and handing out fliers at Roseburg area stores.
Although Kyron Horman's photo is still posted around the southern Oregon town, people in Roseburg admit he's not at the forefront of their minds.
"It didn't happen here so I think people feel a little disconnected," said Ken Berry, another neighbor.
Neighbors say Terri Horman occasionally leaves the home to get the mail or take a walk, but mostly she stays quiet and out of sight.
No one in the area, it appears, is totally convinced that Terri Horman is to blame for Kyron Horman's disappearance, but they say she has created more questions than answers.
"If Terri is involved in it, I don't have any sympathy for child killers," Manley said. "And if she's innocent, we've sure put her through hell, haven't we?"

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Having one of every role (mdps, heals, tank, rdps; learned in that order) has really helped me a lot in every other role. From playing my healer, i learned that my rdps should always run out of fire towards the healer, not away. Ditto what you said about tanks pulling things far enough out of fire for mdps to position themselves properly. I learned on my healer how my tank can utilize his cooldowns to not die and help the healer manage mana. And all sorts of other fun synergistic stuff.

A promise that was sworn,
On a day love meant to torn,
Left to cry, left to mourn,
For the necklace never worn…
A promise that was sworn,
On a day love meant to torn,
Left to cry, left to mourn,
For the necklace never worn…
Was it really love at that first glance
To me, of that, there was no chance.
To be more precise, its love at every visit
A feeling so real, it's truly exquisite.
Cold gentle breeze, here you come,
Reminisce sadness, and smiles for some,
Warmth awaits for love that stays,
And tears for lonely rainy days…
Your touch, your smell, the chill I feel,
Wondrin' if you'd ever be back for real,
With a soft gentle wind you had gone,
In my heart remains, the kindness you've done…
It'll be a day, like any other day, a day like this one,
Where noisy streets would give cradle to this mind,
It'll be this feeling, that I had always felt inside,
That would label love as dumb and blind…
I would, and will, again and again,
Even after each, I would be alone,
Addicted to this, I can't explain,
Be near you, my heart is at home..
A thrust, behind the silence, a painful cry,
Frozen, unable, as I bleed to die,
You turned and said, you were not mine,
I stood and wait, for the sun that wouldn't shine…
Were we giants with humongous feet
You would feel less out of reach
One step would cover all the land
One step would lead me where you stand
(For Neena, By Leo)
I've felt pain, and fear, and sadness,
Moved forward with fast paced regression,
All of these things has made me who I am,
But til now, waiting for your undivided attention…
Push away a fragile heart,
On a cloudless sky, in a sunny day,
Hurt, I stand and realize,
It had always been this way…
These silence of clouds, thunder roars inside,
Waiting to be heard, in our hearts it hides,
Felt within, shouting with flare,
Of unspoken words, to say none would dare…
Hopes give us courage to push through life's dark days,
Love is the reward to those who wait, those who pray,
Respect we earn with kindness we show,
All these things we acquire as we grow..

VIDEO TIMEWASTER: Like Guns? Explosions? Russians? Have WE Got Videos for YOU!!
Thursday, July 21st, 2011
I was just introduced to the magic that is FPSRussia earlier this week. From what I can tell, the dude is a Ex-Russian gun-nut living somewhere in Atlanta who just hangs out on the internet and occasionally buys what may or may not be legal weaponry and uses them to blow crap up for the sake of videos he then posts to said internet. I'm posting some of my favorites here. If you don't find this awesome…well, move to Russia because you're just not American

Today I was reminded, with a renewed vigor and desire, of a possible future I had once pursued. The situation is that I have made connections for a potential business venture with a colleague. We've got a lot of ideas and a lot of possible plans, but for some reason we can't ever get anything concrete going. At this point I am frustrated by her distance, thus I'm doubting my abilities and potential for this to work, even though it's something I really want. There are parts of the situation that are confusing and frustrating for me, and I wanted to get some clarification. This is really the first time I've read for myself using the Celtic Cross spread. Here goes! (Illustrated with Fenestra.)
1. The Situation - Knight of Swords
I'm ambitious, ready to go, pushing forward. "What are we waiting for?!"
2. The Challenge - Eight of Cups
I'm holding onto my current life too tightly. I'm seeking my own independence, yet gripping tightly onto Darling, and yet not wanting to pull him away from things he may want. Sigh, pretty much.
3. The Past Current - Knight of Pentacles
Plenty of success in my career and intellectual endeavors. Feeling good about my achievements, capabilities, and potential to succeed.
4. The Future Current - Knight of Cups
A maturation of relationships, but still not completely comfortable. Heading toward ideals and dreams. (Well, this sounds promising.)
5. Resources - Page of Cups
I've got plenty of inspiration! My heart aches every time I think of plans for this future. I am all in, loyal and willing.
6. Aim - Four of Pentacles
The beginnings of success. Something concrete, that I can devote my life and my energy to. (Yes, the goal is to etch a place for myself in the world, and build myself a solid foundation, a home where I can live and work and love and grow old.)
7. How I See Myself - Two of Swords
Having trouble making up my mind. Feeling caught between two possible roads and not knowing which one to take. Feeling indecisive (hah, so typical of me).
8. How Others See Me - Eight of Pentacles
Settling into my own, as far as my career. Hard working, and beginning to reap success from all that I've put into my work.
9. Concerns (Hopes/Fears) - Six of Cups
Dwelling in the past? Am I afraid that I'll regret it if I choose this path? Or am I afraid that I'm CURRENTLY dwelling in the past, and that this path isn't even open to me anymore? Hmm…
10. Outcome - Five of Swords
Well. So the likely outcome is that I'll face challenges and frustration? Defeat? After all the encouraging cards in this spread, I just can't understand this outcome. Really disappointing. I feel even more lost than before. Really?
Lately, I've not been myself. I've gotten bogged down in a murk of anxiety and stress that is affecting my mind, my spirit, and most prominently, my body. People have started telling me that I seem flustered, or that I seem stressed out, or some other similar observation. Suddenly, today, it occurred to me that perhaps I'd been approaching this situation from the wrong angle. I need to ask the Tarot the right questions if I want to get the best answers!
I signed up for The Tarot Lady's ezine today, and almost immediately received a welcome message with a gift inside. Within were some messages from Theresa, as well as several other tarot readers. One of them suggested a place to begin that sounded perfect to me. The suggestion was to start with a 3-card spread, then pull additional cards for each additional action to take, in the order they should be taken. This sounded perfect to me, so I used her spread.
I've got my best deck (Wildwood), I've got the perfect spread, and I finally have the right question. I'm ready to do this!
What question did I ask? How can I center myself, spiritually and physically, in order to shed all of this stress?
1. The cocoon I'm emerging from: Seven of Arrows - Insecurity (7/S)
Ouch. Insecurity. Right off the bat, I see that I'm coming from a place where I've got a lot of wounds. And if I want to be totally honest with myself, many of these wounds have been self inflicted. Wildwood basically agrees with my assessment. I see myself all over this card, and it hurts, but I'm glad to see that it is what I am emerging from, not moving toward.
2. The place I sit right at this moment: 17 The Pole Star (The Star)
Under the stars, wandering a dark path (sounds familiar), seeking guidance from the universe. This is exactly how I feel, so I'm glad I pulled this card. Wildwood tells me that I'm at a point where I'm ready to open myself to the universe and all it has to offer me.
3. The first action to take: Queen of Arrows - Swan (Q/S)
This card is difficult. I see… solitude, independence. Wildwood tells me that I need to break bonds. The first action I need to take is to break ties to the past, break free from the things binding me to all these self-inflicted wounds. I can start with a literal cleansing of my home (which I have already begun), removing anything that ties me to my past, and to so much of that pain. This is a task I must accomplish alone (without any help from Darling). I realize that, and I can accept that.
4. The second action to take: King of Arows - Kingfisher (K/S)
Moving forward with confidence and strength. Wildwood tells me to use my strength to push me forward, past the wounds of the past. After I've broken the bonds, the next action I need to take is to focus my strength on fully taking control of myself. This means I will now have more strength to fully break old habits, and focus on taking better care of myself in a few key ways.
5. The third action to take: 0 The Wanderer (The Fool)
After I've broken myself free from so much, from all these wounds, I will be able to move forward with an open heart. With a bit of blind faith. The next action I need to take is to move forward, realizing that I cannot rely on my past experiences for guidance on how to do so. It's time to move forward with an open heart (the phrase kept repeating itself to me as I focused on this card).
6. The fourth action to take: Four of Stones - Protection (4/P)
How do I move forward with an open heart? Tarot has all the answers, and it makes me smile. The Four of Stones tells me that once I have come to the point where I can move forward, anew, with an open heart, the next action I need to take is to prepare a place of security and protection for myself! How fitting. Once I've removed all of the wounds, self-imposed insecurities, and begun anew, it only makes sense that I should prepare a place of security, so that I don't get lost again! That I even get this opportunity is amazing, and I feel so grateful.
7. The final action to take: Four of Bows - Celebration (4/W)
How do I begin preparing this special place? Celebration! Spend some time fully enjoying the life that I have, the people that I love, and all of the blessings with which I've been bestowed. Taking the time to celebrate how good my life is; a perfect way to ground myself in a new-found security. Holy crappity-crap. Thank you!

You're making breakfast and all of the sudden your hand can't grip the spoon you're using to stir the oatmeal. Or you're having dinner with friends and all of the sudden you don't understand what they're saying — it's as if they're speaking another language. Or you may be standing waiting for a bus when one of your legs gives out suddenly.
In any of the above scenarios you could be experiencing a brain attack, or stroke. If so, you'll need to take immediate action by calling 911 or going to the nearest hospital emergency department.
"As we often say: Time is brain," says Vivien Lee, MD, a stroke neurologist at the Stroke Center at Rush. "The importance of quick action cannot be stressed enough," says Lee. "If you're having a brain attack, or stroke, time and brain tissue are your most precious commodities."
Many people may be too embarrassed to seek help, but as Shyam Prabhakaran, MD, a stroke neurologist at the Stroke Center at Rush explains: "We like to err on the side of caution. And, we're willing to take the time to investigate if there's any possibility that it may be a brain attack or other neurological problem, especially since the window of opportunity for providing certain therapies for a brain attack is limited. We want to provide those therapies as early as possible in the attempt to limit the brain injury and reduce long-term disability."
Knowing the Signs
Some of the common signs and symptoms of stroke are:
You may experience on or more of these symptoms and they may go away, but you still need to seek medical help and be evaluated. If it's not a brain attack it could have been a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIA is less serious than a stroke, but you'll still want to be evaluated. "People who have had a TIA have high risk of having a brain attack," says Prabhakaran. "It's similar to the idea of a tremor before an earthquake."
Knowing the Risks
You should be extra vigilant if you are 55 years old or older with the following risk factors:
Taking Care
"Our team offers standard as well as state-of-the-art care," says Prabhakaran. "We treat those patients who have had a brain attack or are at high risk for one, because of such things as narrowing of the arteries, aneurysms and other vascular disorders like arteriovenous malformations or AVMs. We provide leading-edge solutions for these issues that can vastly reduce your risk of experiencing a brain attack."
"Our multidisciplinary team and stroke-trained neurologists have so much to offer anyone who has had a stroke or who may be at risk for a stroke," says Candace Acevez, RN, the stroke program coordinator. "In addition to this expertise we also offer support groups and community education and outreach. Our goal is to take care of the whole person."
