If you've watched any of the men's hockey games during these Olympics, you've probably found yourself enjoying the work of the arena organist. So far, games have featured snippets of the Star Wars and Game of Thrones theme songs, Van Halen's "Right Now," and Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." It just so happens that the guys playing those songs are from America.
The two organists on hand for the Olympics have regular gigs with NHL teams. Ray Castoldi plays the organ at Rangers games, and and Dieter Ruehle is the L.A. Kings' in-house organist. But just because Castoldi and Ruehle are from America doesn't mean they are total homers. Everything they play at the Olympics is on the International Olympic Committee's approved playlist, and Castoldi told Bloomberg that he spent a few weeks memorizing famous Russian folk songs so that he could play those during games.
Still, let this be a lesson to all future winter Olympics hosts: If you want in-arena hockey entertainment done right, you come to the U.S.A.

Meet the Beaus
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree is a saying that applies to a good number of the high school seniors that will be presented at the 25th Beautillion staged by Denver chapter of Jack and Jill of America.
Their parents are successful and prominent members of the community, and it's apparent that the teenagers will be, too.
Take Kendall Early, for example. His father is former Denver District Attorney Norm Early and Kendall is hoping to either follow dad's footsteps and become a lawyer, or enter the field of medicine.
Kendall soon will be starting his senior year at Kent Denver School, where he has a 3.84 grade point average, and is hoping to be accepted by Stanford University. At Kent, Kendall plays footballl, basketball and lacrosse and is a member of several student organizations.
His summer activities include conducting a sports camp at St. Anne's Episcopal School, babysitting and staying in shape for football.
His mother, Adrianna Early, accompanied him to the garden party that June and Dr. Johnny Johnson had at their home to announce the 2008 Beaus.
June Johnson is chairing the Beautillion with Vanessa Jamison and Faye Wilson Tate and it was she who introduced the Beautillion to Denver chapter of Jack and Jill.
A former Miss Black Teen America, Johnson has been a Beautillion escort in Texas and had been looking for a meaningful way to bring public attention to all of the good things African-American teenagers were doing. Twenty-five years ago, she noted, the only publicity the teens were receiving was negative.
Eriq Shipp, another of the 2008 Beaus, will be president of his senior class at Overland High School. The day before the announcement party, he received a letter of acceptance from Harvard.
In addition to being senior class president, Eriq, who is hoping to become a dentist, is president of the DECA and Future Business Leaders of America clubs at Overland and vice president of several others. He also created "from scratch" a group that promotes leadership skills for fellow African-American students at Overland.
Rangeview High's Adrian Lockett said he was "very surprised and happy" to have been asked to be a 2008 Beau as it had been a goal of his since eighth grade. "When I opened the invitation, my mom was so happy and I said 'yesssss!' "
Lockett, who plays soccer and football for Rangeview and is a member of its Rowdy Raiders spirit club, is working at a daycare center this summer. While he has not made a specific college choice yet, he does know that he'd like to major in communications or education and become a teacher.
Gamachu Said, who'll be a senior at East High School, had just returned from Colorado College, where he was part of a summer program to acquaint outstanding high school seniors with college life. This week he leaves for a Rotary Youth Leadership camp, where he'll serve as a counselor.
Gamachu is third-youngest of seven siblings; his father came emigrated to America from Ethiopia 19 years ago.
At East, Gamachu plays soccer and "studies hard." He's a former member of the Young Americans Bank youth advisory board and has his heart set on becoming an international business major at Columbia University.
Volunteering for Barack Obama's presidential campaign is a highlight of Beau Michael Davis' summer, and he's hoping that his efforts will enable him to be in the audience at Invesco Field when Obama delivers his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination.
A senior at Thomas Jefferson High School, where he's a member of the National Honor Society, DECA and the Interact Club, Davis is also active in King Baptist Church, where he's president of the youth choir.
As for college, he has his fingers crossed that Colorado School of Mines will accept him as a computer science major.
Another East High School student in the Beautillion Class of 2008 is Marcus Flowers. He's holding down two jobs this summer — data processing in the Denver Elections Division and various responsibilities at the Harkness Theatres in Northfield — and looking forward to his senior year.
Marcus is a member of East's national champion Constitutional Scholars team, president of the Black Student Alliance and a member of the poetry and hip-hop clubs. He also is a member of the track team, and is considering a career in entertainment law.
Aaron Hill is quarterback of the Smoky Hill High School football team, and hopes to help lead it to a championship season. He is also one of those happiest to receive an invitation to become a Beau.
"I attended the Beautillion last year and was overwhelmed by how nice and how positive it was," he said. "I knew right then that I had to be part of it."
In addition to playing football, Hill is a key member of The Brotherhood, a mentoring and accent-the-positive organization for African-American high school students. "It started at Smoky Hill and is now going worldwide," he said.
Hill is hoping to attend the University of Hawaii or Colorado State University, majoring in zoology.
Beaus to be presented at the Dec. 21 ceremony are: Kevin Patterson II, Taylor Johnson, Terrance Walker, Marcus Flowers, Brandon Miller, Ethan Rice, Nathan Brown, Philip Jones, Michael Marshall, Kendall Robertson, Aaron Giron, Valerian Riddle, James Bryant, Joshua Martin, Michael Davis II, David Jones, Bradley Steward, Micha Green, Deion Hardy, Kahler Billinghurst, Kendall Early, Adrian Lockett, Aris Molock, Jervae Roquemore, Greyland Howell, Travis Smith, Eriq Shipp, Benjamin Madry, Kendall Gregory-McGhee, Edward Harlan Jr. and Marray Napue.
Denver chapter member Sarie Patterson, wife of Denver School Board member Kevin Patterson and mother of Beau Kevin Patterson II, is charing the service project in which each Beau must participate: volunteering for four hours at Rainbow House.
Operated by Volunteers of America, Rainbow House serves low-income families affected by or infected with HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the service project is to learn more about these viruses and how to nurture those living with it.
The chapter is also encouraging Beaus to participate in the 9News school supply drive on Aug. 9.

Metering, Capture and Processing for great results! Registration links are below.
Go from these three:
To this!
HDR or High Dynamic Range Photography has been all the rage for the past year or so. There are many new tools available to the photographer to capture and process this type of image, but much of the subject still remains elusive to many who would like to take full advantage of what you can achieve with these techniques.
In this hour long, free webinar sponsored by Sekonic and hosted by Joe Brady, we'll cover many of the ways available to create HDR images. We'll also explore using a handheld light meter to make sure that the exposures we take deliver the best data for a successful image without filling up our memory cards and hard drives with many unnecessary exposures. Starting with the basics of exposure and metering, follow along as we take a look at some popular HDR processing softwares to create and enhance our images.
There are several styles of HDR Photography – from realistic to super-real to fanciful to surreal. Let's explore ways to create each type of image depending on your desires and artistic vision.
Sign up now to reserve your spot and see how much HDR Photography can be!

Current and Accurate
Schedules are maintained by the athletic departments of the schools that use the sight so what you see is...well what it is.
How'd your team do?
Varsity scores are entered by ADs, coaches, or reported directly to MAScores. We also track standings.
Much More
So much more
Game recaps, expanded standings, photos, coaches & rosters, All Stars, Schedule Change Alerts, and more!
Click on the name of a league or a school to head to its page.
While not required to use the site you may want to create your own MAScores Account. Here's why:
You can select as many as ten teams across both leagues to "follow" at any time. Adding and removing teams from your watch list takes seconds, so making changes to your list is easy.
Wouldn't it be nice to get an e-mail (texts coming soon!) when one of your teams has a change in its schedule? We do that. Sign up for an account, follow your teams, and let us know what types of schedule changes you would like alerts for.
Do you have multiple teams you need to keep track of? Every team you follow will have its schedule made available on the "Schedules" page in your account management panel. A click of a button is all it takes to move between each of your schedules.
There are absolutely no charges or fees to create and use a MAScores Account. The only potential cost would be missing important schedule updates by NOT having an account.
Of course you have questions. We have the answers.
Where is the best place to find scores for varsity games?
What exactly is a "League" game and how is it different from other games?
I see a game between two teams in the same league, but it is not marked as a "League" game - why not?
I get that 'PTS' in the Standings is short for points, but how are they calculated?
Can I export my team's schedule to my online calendar (ex. Google Calendar)?
Wait, I don't see my question here! What should I do?
There are many places to find scores (for varsity games) across the site, and where to look depends on whether you want scores for one team or from one school, or across schools and even leagues, or scores for every single game played today, or yesterday, or on any date.
Use this basic rule: if you are looking for scores for one team or teams from the same school you should go to the school's page. Otherwise, go to the scores page at scores.mascores.com to find scores for all sports or individual sports, broken down by league.
Any game that counts towards crowning a league champion at the end of the season is considered a "League" game, and will be marked as such with a "CAL" or "CAC" icon (depending upon the league). While you might assume that any game between two schools from the same league would fall in this category - that would be a bad assumption.
Each sport has a "League" schedule that determines which other schools a team must play and how many times. Occasionally two teams within a league will decide to play additional games outside of the requirements. These extra games do not count towards crowning league champions, but they are important.
"League" schedules determine which teams win league championships at the end of each season. These schedules vary across sports and leagues, so requirements for one sport may be different from others.
Occasionally, two teams within a league might determine that they are a competitive match or there might be an historic rivalry between the schools (or their coaches). In these cases, and if there is room on their schedules, the teams may play additional games beyond what the league requires, and if so these contests are considered non-league and will have no impact on deciding league champions.
While wins and losses are a good indicator of who the best teams are, points are used to determine which team or teams are the ultimate champions.
The point system is very straightforward: each win is worth two points, a tie earns one point, and a loss nets a team nothing.
The point system mainly comes into play for sports where contests are allowed to end in a tie, such as soccer, ice hockey, and track (to name a few). In these sports teams can arrive at the same point total in different ways. For example a team that finishes with ten wins (10 x 2) and a team that has 8 wins and 4 ties (8 x 2 plus 4 x 1) will finish tied with 20 points.
Why, yes you can. This is a new feature of the site and thus, while it has been tested quite a bit, there is always the chance that something might not work right.
Start at the school page, then select the sport from the 'Teams' menu. The varsity schedule will be displayed by default, but you can select other levels from the choices in the sport header.
Now make sure to hide any event types that you don't want to export (such as practices or scrimmages) and hit the 'Export' button. A window will open with a link for you to copy and instructions to import the schedule for the major online calendars.
What, you mean you have questions other than these? Well then you should probably check out our FAQ page.
FAQ stands for 'frequently asked questions', and there is a link to it in the menu at the top of this page. You will also find quick links to the FAQ on the schools and scores pages, as well as in the account management area.

International Conference "Moving Signs and Shifting Discourses: Text and Image Relations in East Asian Art", 26.-28.6.2013
News vom 07.04.2013
Moving Signs and Shifting Discourses: Text and Image Relations in East Asian Art
June 26–28, 2013, Freie Universität Berlin
In cooperation with the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
(Asian Art Museum, National Museums in Berlin)
Funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation
and Japanisches Kulturinstitut Köln (The Japan Foundation)
The International Conference "Moving signs and shifting discourses: Text and image relations in East Asian art" addresses acts of visual and textual communication embedded in and transmitted by artifacts in East Asia. Text and image relations are understood in this context as the relation of visual and textual signs and semiotic systems within a single artwork as well as the negotiation of meaning in the dialogue between artworks and their audience. Centering on the inherent relationship between text and image among art theories and practices in East Asia, the conference aims at a wide array of regionally and historically interwoven topics ranging from characteristics of narratology and figuration in artifacts over aspects of iconicity and literaricity to intermedia relations between literature and art.
The conference theme is broad and inclusive, welcoming different methodological approaches to various genres and forms of East Asian artworks with regard to text and image relations. Investigating the notions and meanings of text and image, the conference seeks to trace shifts in the art historical discourse and to reflect the current state of the field, thereby reacting to the transcultural and interdisciplinary orientation to be currently observed among academia and the humanities worldwide. The conference further aims to provide a platform for promoting the exchange and expansion of expert scholarly knowledge among individual specialists of related fields of East Asian art and art history; to strengthen existent institutional ties and partnerships, and enable the building of new networks on a multinational educational level.
The initiation of East Asian Art History as an academic discipline at Freie Universität Berlin was made possible with generous funding provided by the Gerda Henkel Foundation in 1999, as well as the unfailing support given by Thomas W. Gaehtgens (at the time Director of the Institute of Art History, Freie Universität Berlin) and Willibald Veit (at the time Director of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin). The conference is to take place on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the succeeding establishment of the Professorship of East Asian Art History at the Institute of Art History in 2003.
The conference language is English. The conference is open to the public.
Conference speakers and panel discussants: Alexander Hofmann, Annegret Bergmann, Antje Papist-Matsuo, Birgit Hopfener, Chin-Sung Chang, Ching-Ling Wang, Christiane Reck, Claire-Akiko Brisset, Cynthea Bogel, Jeong-hee Lee-Kalisch, Juliane Noth, Klaas Ruitenbeek, Kristina Kleutghen, LaoZhu (Qingsheng Zhu), Masato Naito, Mayke Wagner, Melanie Trede, Nora Usanov-Geißler, Seinosuke Ide, Shao-lan Hertel, Wibke Schrape, Yasuhiro Sato, Youngsook Pak

Juror No. 8: Race never an issue in Michael Dunn trial
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The second of the 12 jurors who convicted Michael Dunn of attempted second-degree murder has come forward.
In an exclusive interview with news partner CNN, juror No. 8 says race was never a factor in the verdict.
Creshuna Miles, 21, is one of the two African-American women on the 12-member jury that deliberated for four days and remained deadlocked on the first-degree murder charge in the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
Miles said she was only concerned about one thing during the trial -- justice.
"I never once thought about, 'Oh, this was a black kid, this was a white guy,' because that wasn't the case," Miles said.
"So, the people who say, 'Here's another white guy who got away with shooting and killing a black kid,' what would you tell them?" CNN's Alina Machado said.
"I would tell them that they really should knowledge theyself on the law," Miles said.
"If this case wasn't about race, then what was it about for you?" Machado asked.
"It was about justice," Miles said. "When I walked into it, I just wanted to bring justice to whoever it was. If it was Michael Dunn, I wanted to bring justice to him. If it was Leland (Brunson), Tevin (Thompson), Tommy (Stornes) or Jordan, I wanted to bring justice to them."
Dunn claims he shot Davis in self-defense. He faces 60 years or more in prison when he's sentenced next month.
On Wednesday, juror No. 4, known as Valerie, told ABC's "Nightline" that Dunn should have been convicted of first-degree murder. On that charge, Valerie said the jury was split over the issue of self-defense.

Calculus Tutor Newburgh NY
Certified Calculus Tutor Newburgh NY. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
But these are whole number ideas, and partial numbers (fractions and decimals) tend to be introduced on paper as an abstract idea. If you want to be a math tutor in Montreal you need to learn the background of your student. Just like when it comes time for a parent to help a high school student with their homework, either the parent knows the subject and works with the student, or they find another way for the child to learn it. To know more, please visit our website:. Online math tutorial classes Online teaching is gradually being adopted and encouraged by many of us. My friends are very smart so that wasn't the issue at all. Now you know why Asian children are very good with numbers. Next, act patient. For example, a math tutor can give you expert ideas regarding the subject. In this version, there are some extra cards, through which the player earns a chance, to either to skip a turn, or a penalty, to take an extra turn, when they stumble upon them. Between centuries, if the century number is not divisible by 400, the cycle is every 40 years. Part of this is to come professionally dressed. Research show that when children use both hands to move the beads for small and large arithmetic calculations, the quick communication between hands and brain not only stimulates brain cells promoting speedier and faster calculation ability but also promotes quick, balanced and whole brain development. We should be passionate about the topics through math tutor. It is ultimately your choice what you decide to do with the information given. The tutor needs to construct a learning plan and adjust it as needed until the student can demonstrate mastery. She said they helped her because she could visually see what the person was telling her. Above all, an excellent tutor will show genuine and ongoing interest, concern and encouragement when engaging in tutoring sessions with your student, providing the steady assistance and support needed for the student to achieve heights of learning success which will lead to triumph. Another tip is to come prepared. The odd number has an "extra" or "odd" number that doesn't have a partner to make the sum even. By tracking results and helping people to look at math problems differently, math tutoring can lead to a lot of success. Little Camden comes home, happily beaming because he got 3 A's, one in English, one in Spanish, and one in History. I've found several really helpful websites with loads of free tutoring, message boards, search functions, databases, online lesson, printables, and even calculators to use online to solve your homework. Analyze what some of the trouble areas are so you can set up a plan on how to help your child succeed. A retired or practicing scientist, a banker, an engineer or even a science teacher may have the needed skills and knowledge to make the tutoring experience successful.

Managed Extensions: Using the .NET OLE DB Classes to Read Text Files
Welcome to this week's installment of .NET Tips & Techniques! Each week, award-winning Architect and Lead Programmer Tom Archer demonstrates how to perform a practical .NET programming task using either C# or Managed C++ Extensions.
A previous .NET Tips & Techniques article illustrated how to access comma-delimited text files using the .NET ODBC classes. This week's tip covers performing the same task using the .NET OLE DB classes.
Note: If you're trying to decide which database-access technology to use—ODBC or OLE DB—I posted an article on my consulting Web site that compares ODBC to OLE DB.
Using the OLE DB ClassesMuch like any of the database-access classes provided by the .NET BCL (Base Class Library), the OLE DB classes that you'll use most often represent a connection to the data source (OleDbConnection), a command object that will be executed against the data source (OleDbCommand), and a reader that is used to enumerate the results of a command (OleDbDataReader). Therefore, the standard process for reading any type of file using OLE DB classes is the following:
- Instantiate an OleDbConnection object, passing to it a connection string that must include the name of the OLE DB provider for the underlying data source.
- Call the OleDbConnection::Open method.
- Instantiate an OleDbCommand object and specify to it the SQL that you wish to be executed against the data store.
- Call one of the OleDbCommand execute methods—ExecuteNonQuery, ExecuteReader,
or ExecuteNonScalar:
- ExecuteNonQuery
- Used for a command that will not return a result set, but will return a value indicating the number of rows affected
- ExecuteReader
- Returns a result set based on the executed command
- ExecuteNonScalar
- Returns only the first column of the first row of the result set, ignoring the balance of the result set
- In the case of using the OleDbCommand::ExecuteReader:
- A reader object is returned. It is enumerated by using the OleDbDataReader::Read method to read all rows returned (indicated by the OleDbDataReader::FieldCount property).
- For each row, the OleDbDataReader::GetName method is used to determine the current column name, and then you can either use the generic OleDbDataReader::GetValue method to get the actual data value or methods specific to the data being read—such as GetBytes, GetChar, GetDateTime, and so on.
Specifying the Connection StringWhen formatting an OLE DB connection string, be aware of the following three main parts:
- Provider—Always set this to the OLE DB provider that you will be using. In the case of accessing text files, this value is Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
- Data Source—When accessing text files, set this value to the fully qualified file name (e.g., Data Source=myData.txt;)
- Extended Properties—This is where things get a bit interesting. This parameter allows you to specify several properties that are specific to the provider being used. Specifically, you can specify things such as whether the file has a column row (as its first row) and how the data is formatted.
Here are some example Extended Properties settings:
No header row, file is delimited
Extended Properties='text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited'
Header row, file is delimited
Extended Properties='text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited'
The schema.ini FileSince the Jet OLE DB provider uses the Microsoft Text Driver to access text files, you can define a schema.ini file just as you would if you were using ODBC to access the data. This is covered in a previous article so I won't repeat all that here. However, bare in mind that if a conflict exists between what you specify in the Extended Properties part of the OLE DB connection string and a parameter you specify in the schema.ini file, the schema.ini file will take precedence. For example, if you specify HDR=No in the connection string, but specify ColNameHeader=TRUE in the schema.ini file, then the file will be parsed as if the first row is a column header.

Acer Aspire Timeline X 5820TG - Timeless Classic
Timeless Classic
We've been loving the Acer Aspire Timeline design since it came out about more than a year back, and while the design hasn't been updated (and here's where we insert puns about how the Timeline's design is timeless), it's still a very decent looking notebook that doesn't yet feel dated given how fast some notebook manufacturers like to revamp their designs every year.
If you've seen any of the Timeline X series before, then you'll note that the Timeline X 5820TG, the 15.6-inch notebook, is no different from the rest, differing only in size. Hardware wise, the notebook is loaded up with pretty decent stuff; it's not a top of the line Intel Core i7 quad-core machine, but rather an Intel Core i5-430M that's clocked at 2.26GHz, 2GB RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 5650 for the discrete graphics.
This should be sufficient horsepower to run almost everything including games (though not at the highest settings obviously), and we will also be testing Acer's battery life claims (which they rate at 8 hours or so) to see how good this laptop does.

Disaster-preparedness guides often instruct you to head to your basement in case of dangerous weather, but that's not always an option. In Joplin, Missouri, where a powerful tornado killed 158 people in 2011, almost nine of every 10 homes had no basement. And basements aren't always safe because of broken windows, flying debris and the potential for flooding.
For many there's a better option: specially built safe rooms and storm shelters that help protect your family while the weather rages. "If you know there's a safe place, you don't have to worry so much when you see a storm coming." says Ernst Kiesling, executive director of the National Storm Shelter Association, which studies and improves hurricane and tornado shelters. An appropriate shelter depends on your location, the size of your family and your home's condition. For example if you're in an area with a high risk of hurricanes, consider a larger shelter because you may have to wait out the storm for hours. Tornadoes pass by relatively quickly.
The chart helps you figure out what kind of shelter best suits your needs. Make sure your shelter meets Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommendations for "near-absolute protection" in extreme weather. Satisfactory shelters should withstand a tornado classified as EF-5, with wind speeds possibly exceeding 200 miles per hour.
"This is not an area where you want to do the minimum," Kiesling advises. "You don't want to worry whether the coming storm has 160 mph winds or 250 mph winds. Your shelter should be able to withstand the worst-case scenario."
How a safe room protected one family
Kevin and Sarah Beth Harrison, with their two children, huddled inside a safe room that Kevin and his father built inside the family detached garage. After the storm, the garage was gone. The only thing left standing was the safe room. This Alabama family survived the massive tornado strike that ripped through their Athens, Alabama, neighborhood, killing nearly 250 people.
The Harrisons were honored for their foresight by the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, FLASH®.
Having a safe room built into your house can protect you and your family from the dangerous forces of nature. FEMA has developed plans for a family shelter space for use in the event of a natural disaster. The safe room plans, researched by Texas Tech University, come in a variety of designs for rooms in the basement and rooms on the main floor for homes without basements.
The safe rooms are built out of reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete block, or wood-framed walls with plywood and steel sheathing. The room is covered with a similar structural ceiling/roof that is independent of the house structure. Everything is tied down to the foundation from the top of the safe room to resist the uplift forces generated during a tornado or hurricane. The exterior materials and structure of the safe room are impact resistant to protect the occupants from wind-borne debris.
A safe room can provide ultimate life safety protection from the dangerous forces of severe winds and tornadoes. Homeowners can build or retrofit the interior spaces of their homes to safe-room standards or choose to purchase prefabricated safe rooms designed to withstand tornado-force winds. Closets, bathrooms, laundry rooms and outdoor rooms like garden sheds and pool houses can also be enhanced to serve as safe rooms.

CFF is pleased to support Baby Safe Haven efforts in the tri-state area. Recently, CFF has given over $30,000 in grants to AMT Children of Hope Baby Safe Haven Program.
Over a period of three years, Ambulance Medical Technician Tim Jaccard had the "bad experience of having to actually bury 36 newborn infants." Jaccard is credited with leading the successful effort to enact the New York Abandoned Infant Protection Law in 2000.
The law also established a "Baby Safe Haven Program," now directed by Jaccard, to assist desperate young women and help them to safely and anonymously abandon their unwanted newborns (up to 5 days old) without facing criminal prosecution. As Tim Jaccard explained, "The whole purpose of this effort is to make it so not one single baby is ever thrown in a garbage pail again."
Subsequently, New Jersey and Connecticut passed similar Safe Haven laws.
The A.M.T. Children of Hope Foundation distributes tens of thousands of Baby Safe Haven brochures and cards at schools and colleges in NJ, NY, and CT to promote abstinence, prevent infant abandonment, and provide his 24/7 Emergency Hotline (1-877-796-HOPE).
Life Center in Deer Park raises$3,000 with "Choose Life" Plate Frames
The Life Center Crisis Pregnancy Center (in Deer Park, Long Island) loves CFF's "Choose Life" License Plate Frames for good reason: they have helped her raise over $3,000 so far this year. "Our supporters love them! Just 300 frames have raised over $3,000 for The Life Center. It^s an awesome fundraiser. Thank you!"
CFF will happily consign a box of its Choose Life Frames to any crisis pregnancy center, maternity home, or church. It^s a win-win fundraiser that gets a great message on the road. Please call CFF for details.

With the benefit of some 12 hours of hindsight, I'm more optimistic about the game last night and what it means for the Packers going forward. As we've pointed out, there are many reasons for concern — chiefly the play of the offensive and defensive lines, the secondary, and the kick coverage units.
But consider: We played on the road, against a team that has lost only once this year (to the Patriots). We played without our top defensive back and starting punt returner, without the NFL's 6th leading sack producer, without an up-and-coming safety prospect who has an interception in each of his two starts, and two starting-caliber defensive tackles. Oh, and our Hall of Fame quarterback was knocked out early in the 2nd quarter. And it was our fourth game in 18 days.
Despite all of that, and officiating that will be embarassing when the NFL reviews the game tape, the Packers — did I mention that they are the youngest team in the league? — were in a position to win the game with 5 minutes to go.
We were outplayed and outcoached, the latter being a rarity this year.
But if we have an opportunity to return to Dallas on January 20, I like our chances.
