Published: 2/28/2013 9:31 PM | Last update: 2/28/2013 11:21 PM Tourney highs, lows'Cats stave off surge; Celtics fallHILLSBORO - Defense helped the Haven boys carry an 11-point lead into the third quarter against Halstead.But offense helped them survive Halstead's 23-point, fourth-quarter onslaught.
"(Halstead) narrowed the lead down and we were able to buckle down and make some shots and some free throws down the stretch to keep them at bay a little bit," Haven coach Lonnie Paramore said. Haven (13-8) will play Hillsboro, which beat Lyons 49-38 in the tournament's Thursday nightcap, in the semifinals at 7:30 p.m. today. Beachy led the charge for the Wildcats on both ends of the court. He scored a team-high 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds - six of which came in the second half - in a victory that avenged the 61-59 loss they suffered to the Dragons in their regular season finale on Feb. 19 in Halstead. "Halstead's a great team and fought really well," the senior guard said. "We just had to play good defense, get out on shooters." They did a pretty good job of that for the first three quarters. Halstead (9-12) had hit just 10 of its 30 shots before the fourth quarter, due in the large part to sparkplug guard Anthony Santiago's cold shooting. Haven, hunkered down in a 2-3 zone, boxed out and limited second-chance opportunities for the Dragons, which they more often than not cashed in for points on a solid shooting day (18 for 35 from the floor). But Santiago, a 5-foot-7 junior, caught fire in the Dragons' fourth quarter crescendo. He scored 11 of Halstead's first 15 points in the final frame. That span - a roughly six-and-a-half minute stretch - saw the Wildcats' lead dwindle from an 11-point cushion to six. Sandwiched between two free throws apiece for Newcomer and Cody Crabtree, Blake Bohling hit all three of his own for Halstead after getting fouled on a 3-point try. Santiago sunk his fourth 3 of the game soon after to cut Haven's lead to five. "They started making shots and we got in a little bit of foul trouble," Paramore said. "They were able to get to the foul line. We got some bump fouls. We got a little bit tentative on defense." Crabtree would hit the front, but not the back, of a one-and-one on the following possession for Haven. Halstead's Devan Herb snagged the rebound and passed to Santiago, who then missed a deep t3 at the top of the key. Beachy corralled the rebound, was fouled and hit both of his double-bonus free throws with 16 seconds left to push Haven ahead by eight, essentially icing the game. "Jed is a calm, cool, collected guy," Paramore said. "He just never gets rattled." Santiago added a 3 and Crabtree another free throw to round out the scoring. The Wildcats' bench delivered 22 points, with Tim Hendrixson, Isaac Ensz and Newcomer combining for 19. Starting post Luke Johnson had a solid day with seven points.

Marion 56, Trinity 31: The Celtics hung with the tourney's No. 1 seed for a quarter but saw the game slip away as they struggled for points in a season-ending loss. Marion (16-5) tallied 20 field goals and hit on eight of 20 3-point tries. Their 12-0 run to start the second quarter built a double-digit margin that they extended during the course of the game. "They shot the ball well, obviously," Trinity coach Joe Hammersmith said. "(Jordan) Hett and (Jacob) Harper are their two go-to kids. We decided to slow those two down as much as we could, but credit to their young kids. They really stepped it up in that first half and really got it going with some outside shooting." One of those young Warriors was Ethan Hett. He matched Jordan Hett with 11 points and hit three 3s. Harper paced all players with 13 points. Nathan Eisenbarth had 10 points for the Celtics. Trinity ends the season at 4-16 but lost only two seniors: Eisenbarth and Chad Pauly. Much like their girl counterparts, the Celtic boys took their lumps during a rebuilding season. "Do we have a lot of work to do and a lot of improvement? Absolutely," Hammersmith said. "We have to replace two really good seniors, we have to replace our leading scorer in Eisenbarth. The big positive we take is the attitude, the not-quitting type of attitude. "If we've got that, we can start working and looking at the team things we need to get accomplished, the individual goals." Marion moves on to play Salina Sacred Heart in the semifinals at 4:30 p.m. today.

Solia Pink Limited Edition Flat Iron (1") plus free heat proof pouch
BenitaBirmingham, AlHairMedium BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairThis Is The Best Flat IronWhen I received my flat iron it was the best thing I hope they would be. They did my hair just fine the results was what I expected. They are even better then my chi I use to have this was a good investment that I made. I am loving my Solia Pink Limited Editionposted Nov 6, 2011Link to this post
KateHairAuburnThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron EverI absolutely love this flat iron. It works wonders on my hair, which is naturally wavy/curly and quite thick. With this, I can straighten my hair quickly and it comes out smooth and shiny. It even does a good enough job that I can go up to two days without having to anything to my hair! I definitely recommend it!posted Nov 2, 2011Link to this post
LindseyFloridaHairAuburnColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFantastic!I have frizzy hair that likes to curl at the ends in the wrong direction. I used to use some $20 flat iron but then decided to look for something that hopefully worked better. When I saw this iron I read the reviews and glared at the price but decided to splurge and give it a try. Let me just say, best investment EVER!!! This flat iron not only straitened my hair but got rid of the frizz and left it so shiny and glossy. I've had this product now for about 8 years and mine has always worked great from my long-haired phase through my short it has never let me down.
I HIGHLY recommend this flat iron. Yes, a little pricey but it's worth every penny and you just can't compare an iron like this to a cheap one. Not only does it work great, it lasts for years and years so you definitely get your money's worth.posted Oct 15, 2011Link to this post -
ShireenBrooklyn NyHairBlackRelaxed HairBest Flat Iron Everthis flat iron is the best flat iron i have ever tried. my hair is relaxed and shoulder lenght. the first time i use this flat iron i was blown away. The iron glide over my hair like butter on bread. my hair did not pull or get snagged while i was flat irioning. my hair looked shinny, felt soft and had lots of body. in the past i have used andis, chi air, amika (twice). the first amika i purchased was great but i gave it to my cousin, so i decided to buy another one from hsn. This time the amika iron pulled my hair it felt different so i returned it and bought the solia $55 at folica. love love love this product.posted Sep 29, 2011Link to this post
AnthonyCarolinasHairBlackCurly HairGets The Job Donemy Aunt bought me this as a gift because I straighten my hair (i'm a male with really thick and curly hair for the record) it takes me a really long time to straighten my hair with this because the plate is too small for my hair(that really doesn't matter)
Anyway, it makes my hair straight, yeah, but i noticed after a few months of using it that it doesn't heat up as fast or as high as it used to, it also burns my fingers whenever i'm straightening my hair(no i'm not touching the plate) and pulls my hair constantly
so all in all, it's just an okay straightener.posted Sep 27, 2011Link to this post -
Ashley-marieNew YorkHairCurly HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairIn Love With Solia :)This was my first purchase from Solia & Folica and I was immediately in love. Not only did it allow me to apply different styles to my long, wavy, medium hair; but it proves itself every time. Giving me shiny soft locks with every use. The only downside would be since it is pink and I use heat protection products on my hair it has slightly stained the flat iron. Also, after a years religious use, it does tend to pull random strands of hair which can be a bit painful. I recommend not holding it too tight and once cool clean with a damp cloth or baby wipe (minimal liquid).posted Sep 26, 2011Link to this post
KacieHairBlondeNormal HairChemically Treated HairDull, FrizzI have had this straightener for a few years now. But I only used it every so often because my mom had a sedu, and I would just use hers. Well now that I am off to college, I had to start using this one instead of the sedu that I was previously using. Ever since I began using this iron pretty much daily, my hair is so dry & dull looking. I would not buy it...posted Sep 21, 2011Link to this post
ChloeHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairHot Stuff!I tried almost all types and brands of flat iron.
I use my iron:
- to curl my hair
- to straighten with or without hair products
- before going outside (on rainy or sunny days)
- before going out (dancing, running, working out... = sweating!)
- before going to sleep for my hair to be ready in the morning
This iron WORKS all the way.
It curls in seconds.
It flattens in almost only one pass.
It helps my hair to stand humidity.
Honestly, my hair is nearly too straight now that i have this iron.
Once it straight, it stays straight: humidity-proof, pillow-proof...
If you buy this product it's totally worth it.
Cheap + pretty + effective = Solia.

IyakaAmazingi just orderes this solia flat iron because my friend recommended solia to me and i decided to read what people said about it. these bad ratings are really freaking me out and i hope i didnt just waste my money... so please if its not just an amazing review dont write it. but im betting ittl be great compared to my 20 dollar remmington one from target. but still.posted Sep 13, 2011Link to this post
VocxHairBlackDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThe Best So Far!This is the best hair iron i have so far. It's below $100, it even go on sale for almost half the price!!! Works just like the way you want it (at least the way I want it) and its pink! :) Listen, this product can heat up to 450 F which means it can get really hot and you can see a little bit of smoke when used, so yea its really up to you how hot you want it to be, yes it can damage your hair if you use it all the way to 450 F but that is really self-explanatory so don't blame the flat iron ;) This product will really straighten your hair and it will last compare to flat irons you can buy to local superstores. It is definitely worth buying since it comes with a pouch and a 2 year warranty! My last solia pink gave up on me after 1 1/2 year of use (almost everyday) and occasionally stepping on it, but the warranty is so worth it and replacement is fast and easy they will ship the new one right away! please no no to $300+ hair irons! this pink solia will solve it! :D
2 thumbs up!!! ;)posted Sep 9, 2011Link to this post

METHODS OF FISHING AND BEST FISHING SITES Early spring fishing is the most popular with anglers at Burr Oak. April, May, and June continue to produce excellent catches of largemouth bass. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, rubber worms, and jigs are favorite lures for the bass fisherman. In July and August, surface lures worked adjacent to the shore near stumps and fallen trees produce excellent results at night. Warmer weather calls for deep-running lures, bounced off the bottom in 10 to 14 feet of water along aquatic vegetation beds. In October and November, trolling with deep-running lures produces good results. The crappies average 6 to 8 inches long though fish up to 12 inches are present, and offer excellent early spring fishing. Crappies are caught on minnows, using very light fishing tackle. Fishing the shoreline, where fallen trees have been secured, should produce results. Bluegill are of average quality in this lake. The bluegill are from 5 to 8 inches long, and are caught throughout the lake. The upper portion of the lake continues to provide excellent catfish fishing. Channel catfish can be caught throughout the lake. Some of the better catfish baits are shrimp, nightcrawlers, red worms, chicken liver, and beef liver. Fishing just off the bottom at night generally produces results. Recent stockings have established a limited saugeye fishery. Saugeye generally inhabit the deeper water during the summer, but can be found in shallow waters in the early spring and fall, and are caught using baits such as twister tail jigs tipped with a minnow or nightcrawler. A significant carp population has developed in the lake. While carp is not a highly sought-after fish, it can provide great fishing enjoyment. Carp from Burr Oak Lake should be delicious when properly prepared. FISH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES The Division of Wildlife's fish management activities include stocking, construction of fish attractors, population monitoring with nets, seines, trawls, and creel census, and conducting general physical and chemical water quality analysis. These activities provide a continuous check on water quality and fish populations. The are vital in determining the management practices that are necessary to produce quality fishing for the public. The Department of Natural Resources has provided parking lots, wells, toilets, and lanching areas for anglers. The facilities are operated and maintained by the Division of Parks and Recreation. FISH OHIO Anglers who catch big fish should enter their prize in the Fish Ohio angler recognition program. A fish qualifies for an award if it meets the minimum size requirements set for the Fish Ohio program. Applications are available online at FishOhio.org. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The nearest district office is located at Wildlife District Four, 360 East State Street, Athens, Ohio 45701; telephone (740) 589-9930. The lake has a 10 horse power limit on outboard motors. However, larger outboard motors may be operated at no wake or idle-speed only. Horsepower limits and other boating regulations are subject to change. Contact the Division of Wildlife for the most current information. TURN IN A POACHER Ohio's TIP, "Turn In a Poacher," program is helping to control poaching throughout the state. TIP is designed to involve the public in reporting wildlife violations. Citizens who observe wildlife violations should call the TIP toll-free hotline, 1-800-POACHER.

6:01am Tuesday 1st October 2013
TRAINING time is tight for Newport Gwent Dragons this week but the region will devote plenty of attention to shoring up their struggling set piece for Friday's visit of Zebre.
The Rodney Parade region were downed 23-9 by Munster in the RaboDirect Pro12 on Saturday, failing to notch a league point for the first time this season.
The defeat was largely down to a wobbling lineout and under-pressure scrum where the absence of experienced hooker Rhys Thomas, who is out for three months with a fractured ankle, was felt hard.
With a six-day turnaround before Zebre head to Newport fine tuning rather than a major overhaul is on the cards.
"The scrums were a bit of a lottery in Munster while the lineouts went wrong at key times, there's a lot of work to do," admitted forwards coach Kingsley Jones.
"The improvement won't come overnight and it's no secret that we concentrated on the breakdown and defence in July and August.
"The players are developing good habits in those parts of the game and now we need to devote a lot more time and attention on the other aspects that let us down in Munster.
"We haven't got a lot of training this week ahead of Zebre but we will be working hard and there is no need to rip anything up because we have had a reasonable start to the season.
"And despite having some problems against Munster nobody threw the towel in and the spirit of the team was fantastic."
The Dragons are pretty pleased with the start they have made and Friday's opponents will also be pretty content.
Zebre, who did not win a game last season, sit 10th in the Pro12 courtesy of their shock win at Cardiff Blues while they pushed leaders Glasgow hard last weekend to earn a losing bonus point.
"Zebre are a much improved side and they are playing without fear," said Dragons director of rugby Lyn Jones.
"(Former All Black) Brendon Leonard is instilling a lot of confidence in them from scrum-half and they are just going out there and having a crack.
"We will need to be on top of our game in the first 20 minutes to take control."

There's something sublime about the flavor of a thick-cut slice of freshly cooked and smoked ham. However, with so many different types of ham being sold today, it's easy to get confused over which type to buy. Here's some ham help!
● Read the label--know what you're buying--is it a cooked or un-cooked ham? If you're not sure, ask someone in the meat department!
● Buy a bone-in Ham. "As with any meat, the bone-in meat is more tender, more succulent. A whole 12- to 14-pound ham serves 20 to 24 people.
●If you are purchasing a half-ham, choose the shank end.
"The best eating on a ham is the meat on the shank end,". "It has the most flavor because there's a little bit more fat on that end. It's a fabulous cut of meat – it's succulent and tender." The shank end is the pointy end of the ham, whereas the butt end is rounded
●Understand that an uncooked ham will need a lot of cooking time! Has to reach at least 165 internal temperaure.
● A cooked ham only needs to be warmed up to an internal temp of 145F. Don;'t over-heat it, or you risk drying it out.
Depending on how a fully cooked ham is cured or how much water is injected with the brining solution, water content varies widely – so much that the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires labels to reflect water content. Here's what label names mean for the consumer.
No-water-added ham== Hams are injected with a brining solution of salt, sugar, seasonings and water before they are cooked or enter the smokehouse. Hams injected with a low amount of water – which sweats out during the smoking process.
Ham with natural juices-- A popular choice for a dinner ham, these hams are sold in supermarkets and by some specialty ham companies. The retention of water results in a packaged product that weighs up to 108 percent of its original weight before curing and smoking.
Ham-water added--Canned hams and cold cuts most commonly bear this label. Ten percent of the weight of a water-added ham may be solution. This ham does not heat well. Best served cold, sliced thin in sandwiches.
Cuts of ham---Connoisseurs say that bone-in hams have the best flavor. But beyond the bone, there are many more choices that consumers face when buying a ham. Depending on how many people you're serving and the type of meal, you may not want to buy a whole ham. Here's a rundown on your options.
Uncut whole ham--The choice of ham connoisseurs, especially if you're heating the ham. Best for a big dinner, or if you want leftovers – including a ham bone for flavoring soup. A 12- to 14-pound whole ham will feed 20 to 24 people with leftovers.
Spiral-cut ham==These are available as whole or half hams. The center bone is left in, and the ham is sliced in a spiral pattern around it. Often times hickory or smoked or honey glazed.
Fully cooked hams ----Hams cured before cooking by injecting with a brine solution containing water, salt, nitrates, nitrites, sugar and spices. The hams are usually smoked; they may be fully cooked in the smokehouse, or partially smoked, then roasted.
Dry-cured hams--
Mr.Barbecue's All Time Favorite Ham Glaze:
I came up with this recipe a few years ago for one of my friends. It became an instant hit with the family, and is still used to this day. It provides wonderful flavor to any type of ham.
Ingredients: 1 cup of mustard (your choice-yellow,deli, German-style), 1/2 cup orange or pineapple juice, 1/4 cup clover honey, 2tsp. garlic powder, 1tsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. allspice.
Preparation: Blend all ingredients together in a bowl or mixing cup. Slather on the ham, and use remainder to baste ham every 45 minutes while cooking. Makes approx. 2 cups.

hAdminConn (I) |
Handle of a database connection. |
usObjectType (I) |
Type of the database object that is specified by the pucObjectName parameter. Valid values are ADS_DD_TABLE_OBJECT, ADS_DD_COLUMN_OBJECT, ADS_DD_VIEW_OBJECT, ADS_DD_PROCEDURE_OBJECT, ADS_DD_LINK_OBJECT, ADS_DD_PUBLICATION_OBJECT, and ADS_DD_SUBSCRIPTION_OBJECT. |
pucObjectName (I) |
Name of the database object to revoke the specified permissions from. It may be the name of a database table, the name of a column in a database table, the name of a view, the name of a stored procedure, publication, subscription, or a link alias. |
pucParentName (I) |
Name of the database object that is the parent/owner of the object specified by pucObjectName. This parameter is only used if usObjectType is ADS_DD_COLUMN_OBJECT. In such case, this parameter specifies the name of the database table that owns the column specified by the pucObjectName parameter. For other object types, this parameter can be NULL and it is ignored. |
pucGrantee (I) |
Name of a user or a user group that is going to be granted the permissions. |
ulPermissions (I) |
This is a bit field for defining the access permissions to be revoked from the user or user group specified by the pucGrantee parameter. The permissions can be OR'ed together. Valid permissions are ADS_PERMISSION_READ, ADS_PERMISSION_UPDATE, ADS_PERMISSION_INSERT, ADS_PERMISSION_DELETE, ADS_PERMISSION_EXECUTE, ADS_PERMISSION_LINK_ACCESS, ADS_PERMISSION_INHERIT, ADS_PERMISSION_ALTER, ADS_PERMISSION_DROP, ADS_PERMISSION_CREATE, ADS_PERMISSION_WITH_GRANT, ADS_PERMISSION_ALL, and ADS_PERMISSION_ALL_WITH_GRANT.

usPropertyID |
Description |
The name specified by the pucObjectName, pucParentName or pucGrantee could not be found in the database. |
The permissions specified by the ulPermissions parameter contains a permission that is not valid for the specified object type or grantee type. |
AdsDDRevokePermission removes the specified access permissions on a database object from a user or a user group. The ulPermissions parameter is used to specify a combination of permissions to revoke from the user or the user group. See AdsDDGrantPermission for more information on the types of permission that can be granted or revoked from user and user group.
Note If the user belongs to a user group, revoking a user's permission to an object may not remove the user's access permission to the object. The user may still inherit permission to the object from the user group that the user is a member of. To prevent the user from inheriting permissions to the object from a user group, revoke the inherit permission (ADS_PERMISSION_INHERIT) for the object from the user.
Note If the database is not set up to verify the user access permissions, the user's access permissions will not be checked by the Advantage servers. See AdsDDSetDatabaseProperty and ADS_DD_VERIFY_ACCESS_RIGHTS property for more information. The property defaults to False on newly created data dictionary effectively giving all users full access to all objects in the database.
Note The allowed access to database tables is also affected by the table permission level property. See AdsDDSetTableProperty and the ADS_DD_TABLE_PERMISSION_LEVEL property.
Note This function can be called inside a transaction, but will not be part of the transaction. Any changes it makes cannot be rolled back.

What is the best part about doing GTD? Is it the enhanced productivity that gets accomplished? Is it the sometimes newfound ability to stay calm when faced with numerous hard choices? Or is it something else?
What is the best part?
What is the best part about doing GTD? Is it the enhanced productivity that gets accomplished? Is it the sometimes newfound ability to stay calm when faced with numerous hard choices? Or is it something else?
What is the best part?
I posted this question about 3 pages ago ("What is your Holy GRail of GTD?") and got some great answers. Here is what I still stand by today:
My Holy Grail of GTD is reflecting time. If I can get the Weekly Review done and still have time to actually think about the work I have to do/most want to do I am happy. Since I started GTD this Jan, I have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of creative and courageous ideas I have had for 2012. This week I have an hour planned to reflect on a recent event I completed (thank you notes, incidental receipts to submit, lessons learned, next time do this, etc). I scheduled that during my WR, instead of reflecting during the WR.
But do check out that thread titled Holy Grail to hear more.
Mind like water is the ultimate result of GTD.

Good responses all, thanks. And I read your Holy Grail thread AD, thanks for pointing it out. I like this one:
It's being able to relax in the garden without being overwhelmed by all the projects waiting to be done.
Thanks again for the answers.
its easier not to do things and feel good about it..thanks to david allen
. earlier i used to procastinate and worry, now i just procastinate.....
and only the most hi priority work gets done and it gets my 100 percent attention. the quality change in my output has been amazing and beyond my expectation. i recommend the gtd system to even my enemies.......so atleast we have a lavel playing field..its only then that the fun begins.
if you dont like the answer, change the question.
The part I enjoy the most is when things get done without any effort on my part. On Sunday, I topped up the oil in my car while going about my usual Sunday routine. I used to put off checking my oil for months, let alone topping it up. It used to nag at me and I'd always have more important or urgent things to attend to. There are lots of small things that just flow better in my life because I can mop up the little things (buying oil) while I'm taking care of the bigger things (buying weekly groceries).
Yes! When I started GTD there were things that bothered me over and over again every day, as in "Oh, yeah, that, I'll have to fix that when I have time". Such as bicycle maintenance. (I don't drive a car.) After doing GTD for a couple of months, I was surprised that I wasn't encountering frustrations like that. Things were already done. I was almost complaining, "No fair -- I have nothing to complain about now!" as if I was all ready to express frustration, out of habit, but there was nothing to express frustration about. There are still things that aren't done, but they're things that I've decided I don't have the time and energy to do in the near future, so I'm calm about them.
What a great thread to read!
GTD gives me the ultimate time with my friends and family. Instead of having half a mind on things in front of me needing to be done, with my trusted system in place I can be fully present and in the moment when I get that precious time with my kids. Its the best gift I can give to myself!

Money Matters
6th Grade Oral Language Resources
Content Objectives
Students will:
• Learn about the concept of money.• Access prior knowledge and build background about types of money and what it is used for.
• Explore and apply the concepts of cost and economy.
Language Objectives
Students will:
• Demonstrate an understanding of money.• Orally use words that name types of currency.
• Extend oral vocabulary by speaking about the structure of the economy.
• Use key concept words [goods, services, spend, currency, cash, coins, bills, penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar, bank, account, savings, checks, credit cards, transfer, economy, unemployment, poverty, capitalism].
• Use the slideshow to review the key concept words.• Explain that students are going to learn about money:
• What is money used for?
• How much do things cost and why?
• What is the difference between using cash and using a credit card?
• How can you tell if an economy is healthy?
• After the host introduces the slideshow, point to the photo on screen. Ask students: What are the different types of money we use? (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollar bills, etc. )• Ask students: What are some other ways people can use money besides using cash? (credit cards or checks)
• Say: Money is what we get from working. Money enables us to buy things. If you don't have money, you can't buy things such as food and clothing. What are some problems caused by a poor economy? (homelessness, unemployment, poverty, etc.)
Guided Practice
• Guide students through the next five slides showing them different forms of currency and ask them to identify each one. Always have the students suggest items they would be able to buy with each piece of currency.Apply
• Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature.• After the first game, ask students to discuss experiences they have had using money. What did they buy? How did they buy it? How much did the item cost? After the second game, ask them to discuss why buying on credit is risky.
• Ask students: What would you buy if you had a lot of money?• Summarize for students that money is important in order to survive but money can't buy everything. For instance, money can't buy friends. Encourage them to work with a group and use toy money to start an imaginary store. Have them set prices for the items that they're selling. Remind them to find a balance between their prices and costs.

NCAAF Team Report - Bowling Green - INSIDE SLANT
The Falcons have a 10-3 overall record after beating previously undefeated and nationally ranked Northern Illinois, 47-27, in the Mid-American Conference championship game.
"One of our goals every year is to beat a BCS team," fifth-year senior tight end Alex Bayer of Bowling Green said. "This year we had our two chances, and we didn't come through.
"In my five years here I still haven't beaten a BCS-level team, so I'm excited to get another chance at it. Especially in my last year, to be able to go out and play another game, we're excited."
For Pittsburgh (6-6) becoming bowl eligible in the first year of play in the Atlantic Coast Conference is a positive. Pitt is filling an at-large spot in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, which has the eighth selection of Big Ten teams, but that league only had seven bowl-eligible teams,
Pitt was not selected for one of the ACC's seven contractual bowl tie-ins.
The Panthers tied with Maryland for the worst conference record among the 11 bowl-eligible ACC teams, and the Terrapins received the final ACC bid to the Military Bowl.
The Panthers were unpredictable during the season posting victories over Duke and Notre Dame, but losing to Navy.
Pittsburgh faces a tough task against Bowling Green.
The Falcons have a top 10 defense, which allowed only 44 points in Bowling Green's last five games, all victories.
Bowling Green's offense has also been rolling of late, scoring 223 points in the last five games. The Falcons have a strong running attack, and the passing game is improving every week.
"We're excited for the chance to play in another game against such a quality opponent," Pitt coach Paul Chryst said in a statement released by Pitt officials.
"Bowling Green was impressive not only in its MAC championship win but all season long, and we have a competitive game of football ahead."
Bowling Green will have to contain Pitt's wide-receiving tandem of Tyler Boyd and Devin Street, who both earned all-conference honors.
The Falcons will also have to contend with Pitt defensive tackle Aaron Donald, the ACC's defensive player of the year.
Another story line is Bowling Green redshirt sophomore quarterback Matt Johnson, a Pennsylvania native who has special motivation in playing Pittsburgh. He was not recruited by the Panthers, because he was deemed to be too short.
Johnson tweeted on Sunday afternoon before the announcement that he was hoping Pitt would be Bowling Green's opponent.

On Oct. 2, 1789, President George Washington sent to the states for ratification the constitutional amendments we know as the Bill of Rights. It was a defining moment in world history — a seminal step in establishing a system of self-government and protection of personal liberties that had never before existed. And he did it at the request of the Congress.
Thankfully, we can be very proud that our history as a nation is punctuated with extraordinary moments that define and illustrate American exceptionalism. With good reason, and great pride, we pass these lessons on to future generations as examples and expectations.
But not every exceptional moment in American history is a positive one. There are unfortunate reminders that our republic, its democratic systems, those we elect and the policies we make are all imperfect. This is why the preamble to our Constitution reminds us we have an obligation to continuously work toward "a more perfect union."
Now, just 224 years after President Washington asked the states to ratify the Bill of Rights, the social, political and economic impacts of the current dysfunction in Washington — the government shutdown being a single example — have the potential to become one of those historic mistakes. A potentially painful lesson future generations observe in the "how not to govern" chapter of American history.
But it's not too late.
At difficult times, Americans expect their government will rise to the challenge and reflect the best of what our nation and its system of government offer the world. We require elected officials to fulfill their obligation to work respectfully and civilly toward meaningful solutions. We demand leadership that cares more about moving our nation forward and less about winning the next election. We require a government that validates the virtues of self-government to those ideologies and adversaries who oppose it.
At times like these, we expect — we have a right to expect — our political leaders to be as exceptional as the system of government they've been elected to administer.
For the benefit of future generations, Washington, D.C., should meet the standards of the most exceptional and productive system of government in the history of humankind. They must choose to be exceptional, not exceptionally dysfunctional. If they do, their example will be another powerful illustration of how, even when political spirits are high and the challenges great, there is no obstacle too great for Americans when we work together.

OverviewThis project constructed bank stabilization elements to address repeated slope failures threatening SR 410 where Rattlesnake Creek enters the Naches River. The Naches river bank adjacent to SR 410 experienced serious erosion during high water where Rattlesnake Creek joins the Naches River. Repeated slope failures threatened the SR 410 roadbed, requiring frequent maintenance attention. Maintenance costs in this area will be reduced dramatically.

Nice hotel with traditional look
Posted Dec 3, 2013Pros: Decor
Lovely, comfortable, crispy white linen beds. Our double standart room wasn't big or very fancy but the hotel decor all over makes up for it. We were there on Saturday night after thanksgiving. Christmas tree appeared overnight in the restaurant on Sunday morning. My boys (10 and 7) loved exploring. They went up and down the stairs 20 times and loved looking up in the ceiling.

Lovely, ornate luxury hotel
Posted Nov 26, 2013Cons: Minor: carpet needs replaced, plaster corners need patched (room 245?). Staff member who refreshes free coffee needs lesson in manners/service, rude.
Location: Downtown SF, great location, plenty to do!
Staff overall very good. A level above the service you get at an ordinary hotel. I like the old luxury hotel vibe that it has, the ballroom is a sight to see!

An OK hotel but the soundproofing could be better
Posted Nov 10, 2013Pros: Beautifully presented
Cons: Coffee and tea making facilities in the room would be a big improvement. The staff could be more attentive.
Location: The hotel is centrally located in what appeared to be a good area.
We got this hotel on special but would have been very disappointed with it if we paid the listed rack rate. This hotel is centrally located and beautifully presented but there were a few downsides. On check in there was no one to take our bags and our room was quite a hike from the lifts (which was a bit of a problem when lugging bags and a 5 month old baby). There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms (something which I would definitely expect in a hotel of this quality). The concierge said that there was a complimentary tea and coffee station downstairs but that it only operated in the morning. To order tea and coffee from room service would have been exorbitantly expensive. Finally, the sound proofing between the rooms is not brilliant. We had a group of people next door to us who stayed up talking till 2am, which we could hear quite clearly (in return I'm sure that they didn't appreciate our baby crying at 5am). On the plus side, the crib we requested was in the room on our arrival and they did not charge us extra for it.

Great location mixed with Old World style
Posted Nov 5, 2013This beautiful hotel was a perfect place to stay and enjoy our first San Francisco visit. The staff was very accommodating. The pool was larger than most, with a skylight view to enjoy while floating. I would definitely recommend The Palace to friends and family.

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. -- After losing in the finals each of the past two seasons Garden City finally captured its elusive fifth boys lacrosse state championship Saturday afternoon.
Devin Dwyer had two goals and four assists, Patric Berkery scored three goals and Dan Marino made eight saves as Garden City, the consensus top-ranked team in the country, defeated Irondequoit, 11-4, in the Class B title game. It is the first state title since 2000 and the first under sixth-year coach Steve Finnell for Garden City (22-0).
"After last year's loss (8-7 in overtime to Jamesville-Dewitt) it was probably the worst feeling ever," said the Penn-bound Berkery, who blew past his defender to score his second goal with 9:07 to go in the third period and put Garden City ahead for good at 4-3.
"You always want to be on top and after you lose you feel awful. For the seniors last year it was not good for them because they didn't get to go out on top but to win it feels great."
Garden City had possession leading 4-3 late in the third quarter when Justin Guterding got blindsided with a devastating illegal check to the head by Irondequoit's George Jerman. The hit energized both squads, as the Eagles celebrated and a member of the coaching staff high-fived Jerman as he went to the penalty box for a one minute non-releasable foul.
"I did not see that coming at all," said Guterding, who scored two goals. "Maybe I held onto it too long. I caught it, I got hit. Definitely rattled, I just couldn't show it, couldn't show that it hurt."
The Trojans let the final seconds of the third play out and capitalized on the man-up opportunity early in the fourth. Dwyer scored to make it 5-3 with 11:40 to go and notched his fourth assist when he found Liam Kennedy (one goal, two assists) on a great crossing pass right after the penalty expired to make it 6-3 with 11:11 to play.
"We have a great man-up team here and once we saw a non-releasable penalty we knew we could take advantage of it and we did," said the Harvard-bound Dwyer, named outstanding offensive player. "We knew our defense had been playing so much defense in this game and we needed to give them a break. We knew that was our chance to make a run."
Gunnar Miller (two goals) cut it to 6-4 with 10:05 to go but Irondequoit (19-3) would not get any closer.
The Eagles jumped to a 2-0 lead before Garden City tied it at 2 late in the first. Irondequoit dominated the second quarter, peppering Marino with 13 shots, eight on goal, during several long possessions, but they could not score.
Nick Doktor (two goals) scored for Irondequoit 15 seconds into the third to regain the lead at 3-2 but Garden City tied it again when Guterding buried a shot off a feed from Dwyer with 9:07 to go in the third.
As the Trojans celebrated with their teammates, friends and families the unflappable Dwyer was for once the slightest bit bewildered.
"I don't even know what to do right now," Dwyer said. "I was just walking around talking to my coaches like 'what do we do?' "
They smiled, took celebratory pictures on the field where they created a memory that will last a lifetime and removed the figurative albatross and runner-up label which has hung from their neck for the past two seasons.

As part of the fiscal cliff deal reached a few weeks ago, Congress expanded the availability of in-service conversions of traditional 401(k) accounts to a Roth 401(k). This also applies to other retirement savings plans including the 403(b); 457(b); and the government's Thrift Savings Plan.
A couple of requirements:
- Your organization's plan has to offer a Roth option.
- Your plan needs to allow for these in-service provisions.
The thought process is that many savers will flock to this new opportunity which would generate a lot of new near-term tax revenue for the government. So far, according to media reports, savers have not taken advantage of this new wrinkle to any great extent.
Is an in-service Roth conversion a good idea for you? Here are a few things to consider before converting some or all of your retirement plan account:
Do you have the money outside of the plan to pay the income taxes associated with this move? If the answer is no, stop here the rest of this is pretty meaningless to you.
Think through the costs versus the anticipated benefits. You lose out on any future earnings from the cash used to pay the current income taxes. Compare the amount of the current taxes that you will need to pay against the amount of future taxes that you anticipate saving. Determine the number of years until you realize those tax savings, select a discount rate, and then calculate the present value of those tax savings. The discount rate should equal a percentage rate of return that you would expect to earn on the cash used to pay the taxes. Compare the present value to the amount of taxes that will be due on this conversion.
Some might say the cash is earning nothing in money market account. That may be true, but in reality you might invest that money elsewhere, and at some point interest rates are likely to rise, increasing returns money market accounts and CDs.
In general the ability to convert is more beneficial to younger savers who have a long time until retirement. They will generally be in a lower current tax bracket and they have a longer time to recoup the amount paid in current taxes.
Roth 401(k)s are relatively new and only about half of the retirement plans out there offer them. Utilization by participants is under 20 percent. If a Roth is right for you, the Roth 401(k) offers some attractive benefits over a Roth IRA:
- The contribution limits are higher than for a Roth IRA. In 2013 you can contribute $17,500 ($23,000 if 50 or over) via salary deferral to a 401(k) plan. The limit for an IRA (Roth or otherwise) is $5,500 ($6,500 for those 50 and over).
- There are income limits on Roth IRA contributions, there are no such limits on your ability to make a Roth 401(k) contribution.
Is the Roth 401(k) conversion opportunity right for you? Think through all of the variables and do the math. This is not a "no-brainer" decision.
