"Great Blinds"

These blinds went up so quickly, and they look great. You really cant beat the style for the price. I would buy these again, and have already recommended to friends and family.
View this product"Excellent Product"
By SuzyQ from Kennewick WA
I ordered three blinds for my livingroom, but it took me a month of asking for color samples to get to that point. Blindsgalore replied to my requests for samples very quickly and it was such a great help in making my final choice. I received my order and was very pleased with the quality of the blinds. My husband and I put them up in less than 30 minutes. They look great! I would purchase again in the future.

Luxe Travel Management is an advertising partner with the Orange County Register.
(Sponsored Content)
Why should someone looking to book travel consider working with your business?
Travel comes in all shapes and sizes: Whether you travel for business or pleasure, LUXE Travel's global reach insures that you experience joy of travel and not the headache. Travel sites can't help with the unexpected.
What separates your company from your competitors?
We pride ourselves in our personal touch and exemplary service. Our agents have come from a wide range of backgrounds but are united by their desire to succeed. Our preferred relationship with airlines, auto, hotels, tour companies and cruise lines provides our clients with competitive pricing, discounts and special value-added amenities. LUXE Travel is an elite partner with Signature Travel Network, the world's premier leisure consortium group with over 6,000 travel professionals who share one objective: to serve the unique needs of discerning travelers.
What is your proudest moment in business? �
Rather than industry awards, our proudest moments are when our clients take the time to let us know how much they appreciate and value the services of our team.� No question that we're also very proud of the many awards we've received from the airlines, hotels and cruise lines acknowledging our activity, but nothing makes us prouder than when we're circulating another "Thanks for the great service" message from one of our clients.
What is the most common mistake a traveler makes when they decide they want to travel away on vacation?
Not using the services of the experts.� On vacation, we're investing two very valuable things - our money AND our time.� There's nothing worse than being disappointed in a location, resort or destination on a much-anticipated vacation. Be sure you know the "travel product" you're purchasing either from personal experience or travel expert advice!
How far in advance should someone start to think about booking travel plans?
For leisure travel our clients are contacting us a year in advance for early information and priority booking.� We spend as much time as necessary with them to piece together their ultimate itinerary at the best price.� For the business traveler, generally the best fares will be obtained fourteen days in advance.� When at all possible, the three "golden rules" for travel planning are – Book Early, Be Flexible, and Minimize Changes.
When you travel, what is the one item you must take with you?
In this current environment, make sure you have appropriate identification, two forms if possible in case one is lost.� Other than that, be sure to have the number of your travel agent handy at all times! � We can help you through mid-trip problems like weather delays or missed connections so that� you� can get back to enjoying your vacation.
What is something all travelers should think about before booking their next trip?
For leisure, think about what� you� really want from your trip - relaxation, adventure, learning a new culture - then let your travel expert help you pick a destination and itinerary that creates the perfect experience.� And be creative! You might be surprised where your travel budget really can take you if you're open to new ideas!
Where will the travel industry be 5 years from now?
The travel industry will be more technology driven by� addressing ease of use since more customers will be equipped with smartphones and tablets. � Travel agencies are now investing significantly in new tools that enable better merchandising of content so that a customer can find the product they want in the store. � In a traditional brick-and-mortar store, this means a well-organized presentation of products along with deeper personalization of service. � It means offering pricing that is the exactly same in the online world � - both having technology search tools to� aggregated information of inventory, availability, pricing because all this is not freely available to the customer today.� Customers in the next five years will not have to struggle with the desire to entertain deep discounts from one channel of distribution vs. another.� Their need will be influenced by working with someone that has product knowledge, offers 24/7 service and can guard against all the clutter that confuses and frustrates customers.� More than ever, your travel professional will have all new kinds of access to the right data in personalizing the service and know their customers and what they like.� � Global travel management companies that have the right supplier relationships know what products are moving and at what price because having the right technology tools help them to know what to sell — regardless of channel of distribution.� The travel industry is ever evolving and those travel management companies that are here today and possess the desire to grow will be the ones succeeding tomorrow.�

2008, California, Food and Wine, Forest Ranch, Merlot, No Sulfites, Organic, pairing, red wine, Sierra Foothils
Another domestic organic wine to try! I bought this last week, and we had it on Wednesday night with the Pan-Seared Filet with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower, and Sautéed Onion, Spinach and Portobello Mushrooms.
Side note: One thing you might start to notice is that I don't make a lot of starches (or any so far). In an effort to eat better, we've cut them out for the most part. I always try to replace a starchy side with another vegetable. In this case, the cauliflower took place of a potato or pasta.
Back to the wine! This Merlot is from Forest Ranch, California. It was $12.99. It appears to be a clear, pale garnet color. It has a light, clean scent of earth (mushroom), black fruit (black cherry and blackberry), and a little dried fruit (prune). The wine is light and dry on the palate with medium acidity, medium tannins, and medium body. Like the nose, it tastes of earth, black fruit, and dried fruit.
As for the pairing… Filet mignon is lighter in flavor that other cuts of meat, but is the most tender. The simplicity of the steak (I only used garlic, salt, and pepper to season) paired nicely with the Merlot. It softened the acidity in the wine, while the crust on the steak brought out the fruit flavors. I was skeptical at first, but I think this was a successful pairing!
Has anyone had any Organic wines? What do you think?

Letter jumbles, huh? OK. (And no disrespect intended to ctan, a great poster and fan). I KNOW that numbers are certainly fitting, and posts featuring them are welcome on this board.
And I HAVE read the rules and know that the decisions of the moderators and board owners are final, and do not have to be shared with posters. I have the right to take my views elsewhere; you have the right to deny me posting privileges.
But am I allowed the question? A post about an actual ballgame featuring one of last year's players (Robert Perez), looking (in vain) for one of the most beloved of Yanks (Sojo) and about Jorge's signing and nationality DOES NOT belong on the Yankees discussion board? Even the second game I saw, featuring one of the four vying for the backup catcher spot (Castillo), mentioning ex-Yanks and guys traded away and guys many would like traded for (Felix Jose, D'Angelo Jimenez, Vladimir Guerrero) and sharing info on how all can see these games, doesn't belong.
Two questions: Are Spring Training games appropriate discussion subjects in March? Are regular season games talked about in April? Or is it that the actual GAME of baseball has no place on the Yankee DISCUSSION board?
If I've overstepped the line by asking this, I wish you all a great year and the New York Yankees World Series Championship #27.

Obama Endorses Same-Sex Marriage
Even though Obama is rather late on this; and even though he maybe hasn't done as much as possible to advance the same-sex civil rights and equality agenda (ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and ordering federal lawyers to no longer defend the Defence of Marriage Act were important, but a little late); I still think this is worthy of recognition.
The President of the United States endorses same-sex marriage. That is symbolically, historically, politically and culturally, a pretty big thing. Congratulations.
In terms of analysis: support for same-sex marriage has been steadily growing among the US population, and has for some years seen majority support. The Republican Party is putting up a rearguard fight, with their most recent success just yesterday in North Carolina where people voted for an amendment to declare same-sex marriage unconstitutional. In the longer term, they can't possibly win this (among younger voters support is overwhelming), so this move by Obama is a good one. It will serve as a rallying-point in the coming elections.
The contrast with a candidate who wants to abolish all rights for gay couples by amending the federal constitution, and who has donated to organizations that seek to "cure" gays, who bowed to pressure from bigots who demanded the head of a spokesman on foreign policy solely because he was gay: how much starker can it get?
My view politically is that this will help Obama. He will be looking to the future generations as his opponent panders to the past. The clearer the choice this year the likelier his victory. And after the darkness of last night, this feels like a widening dawn.
[Now], for the first time, the office of the American President is officially supporting a policy that a mere decade ago was deemed truly radical: same-sex marriage. Those are real achievements. And, as virtually all polls reflect – underscored by last night's landslide defeat for marriage equality in North Carolina — they carry genuine political risk. He deserves credit for his actions in this civil rights realm.
It should go without saying that none of this mitigates the many horrendous things Obama has done in other areas, nor does it mean he deserves re-election. But just as it's intellectually corrupted to refuse to criticize him when he deserves it, the same is true of refusing to credit him when he deserves it. Today, he deserves credit. LGBT equality is one area — and it's an important area for millions of Americans — where he has conducted himself commendably and deserves praise. That was true before today, but even more so now.
David Frum (a former Bush speechwriter):
The statement changes everything because it powerfully symbolizes an awakening that so many people have had, myself included: here is a social change whose time has come, and more than come. Denying marriage rights to same-sex couples inflicts real harm on real people, while doing nothing to prevent the deterioration of marriage among non-affluent Americans.
The statement changes everything because it puts marriage rights on the 2012 ballot as a voting issue. Mitt Romney has declared—not only his opposition to same-sex marriage—but his intention to use the power of the presidency to stop and reverse it. One may doubt how intensely Romney feels about that commitment, really. My own guess: about 1/1000 as intensely as he feels about Sarbanes-Oxley. But the issue is joined even so.
The statement changes everything because it locks in place for another generation the Brand ID of Democrats as the party of cultural modernity.

We would appreciate it if you could engage in discussion of this proposal on the KARP working group email list. If you feel we are still not understanding your point, we would be happy to make some time avaialble for discussion at the WG session in Quebec City. (Comments from anyone else, particularly WG members, on the proposals being made by the WG chairs are appreciated as well.) Rather than a line by line response, we have tried to find the common themes and respond to them. If we have missed major issues, please let us know. You raised concern about the use of the term "on-the-wire." Rather than replace the term, we would prefer to add descriptive text early in the document. This text would note that it is a widely used term in IETF documents, including many RFCs. It would also state for clarity that in this document it is used to refer to the message sent from one routing process to another.That's a great example of why this term should be removed. The message sent from one BGP to another is sent *inside* a TCP connection, and nobody would ever call the TCP bytestream payload the message "on the wire". This term is simply sloppy, and just as the security community rightly raises issues with similarly poor use of its terms (e.g., "random" where pseudorandom or arbitrary are intended, or "authenticated" where integrity protection is intended), I consider this a *significant* transport issue.Joe Please can you suggest a suitable generic term that covers the set of cases that we need to deal with in routing - i.e. over the MAC, over IP, over UDP and over TCP, so that we can discuss inter routing entity message passing as an abstract operation. As Joel says when we get to the detailed design of each routing protocol we will discuss the details, but we want a high level discussion in this document. Note BTW that 186 RFCs use the term "on the wire" in this sort of situation. I counted nearly 210, when including "over the wire" too. There are similar misuses of, e.g., security terms, though, so let's not let past errors suggest continued use. That said, let's proceed: First, when you say "on the wire" do you mean: (A)- the routing protocol data units (RPDUs) (B)- way in which RPDUs are exchanged this includes message payloads, meta-info (header information), and any other info at other layers beyond RPDUs that the routing protocol uses or relies uponI'm presuming the term "on the wire" is intended to differentiate between (A) and (B). There's no good way to describe (B) as a single entity because it's not one. You basically are differentiating between the message and the means of its communication. The latter is often called a 'channel' in other contexts, so maybe that's the term you want - a way to protect the 'channel'.

This year I worked on a project with a second grade teacher (Stephanie) which totally changed the way she approached teaching and learning in the classroom. She was influenced by Ewan MacIntosh, a Scottish educator who does keynotes on innovation, design thinking, and creativity.
Learn more about Design Thinking on Ewan's Company website or on his blog.
Design Thinking and Learning
Design thinking emphasizes the importance of design in how we do everything. When you look at most classrooms from this perspective you see very teacher-centered rooms. The teacher's desk is the most prominent item in the classroom. The teacher designs all that happens in the room and asks the most questions. In fact students are most used to asking questions with "yes" or "no" answers.
In order to make this drastic change in her classroom Stephanie had students helped her empty her classroom of everything, including the teacher's desk. They also cleared the walls of the classroom so that they were starting with an empty slate. She explained to the students that the classroom is where they come to work every day. They spent some time brainstorming and talking about what was important for them so that they could learn, and then they all worked together to make a large banner that showed what mattered to them.
The students decided that they needed to have the white boards lower so that they could work on problems using it. They also decided to try a classroom without a teacher's desk.
Two large dry erase boards will be purchased and posted on the walls this summer before next school year, and the teacher did experiment with no teacher's desk.
Stephanie also received a Google Grant and decided to spend the money on Chromebooks, which are small laptops that work entirely on the browser Chrome. She decided on Chromebooks because they cost around $250. (She could maximize the grant that way.)
Chromebooks do not have another operating system; they use only the browser Chrome. Currently there are many websites available that are interactive, so a browser is effective in the classroom. The Chromebook is not a good choice for people who use software like Photoshop, because there is no way to do some of those things on a browser yet.
The students are all part of the school's Google Network, and they have safe email addresses and accounts with Google so that they can use all of the tools. Google allows them to search the web the same as you would do with any browser. They can do their work in Google Drive, and it is saved right in their own separate area in Google Drive. The students then share their work with their teacher. She can easily access all of the students work in one area of her Google Drive. She can write them notes and save the document, and then the students can see what she has written the next time they open it up.
Google Drive is especially good for working collaboratively on a project. A group of students can set up a document that is shared between them. Then each student can work on it on their own and all of them will see the work. Sometimes it is good to designate a color for each person so that everyone knows who has changed the text. Even better is the fact that Google keeps the history of the document, so if someone accidentally deletes something it can easily be found and copied and pasted back into the document or you can just start again with the older document. (Read more about Google Drive in Marjie Pozielisnki's May TILE-SIG piece.)
The combination of design thinking and Chromebooks has made Stephanie's classroom much more student centered. She still guides the learning to make sure that the standards are covered, but she does not ask or answer the questions. She wants students to realize that the teacher does not have all of the answers and that they can think like professional workers.

THE FEDERATION of Madison County Homeowner Associations (FMCHA) has a new president, attorney John Moore.
Moore, who is head of the architectural review board at Annandale Estates and practices law in Ridgeland, was elected by the FMCHA board of directors in June.
Former president Al Sage had served in that position for the past few years.
One of the FMCHA's main goals is to educate its membership, something Moore said he wanted to do more.

+LeRoy, Michael H., From Docks to Doctor Offices After 9/11: Refusing to Work Under "Abnormally Dangerous Conditions" (provided by: SSRN) (American Law Review, Vol. 56, No. 3, 2004)
"Section 502 of the Labor-Management Relations Act (LMRA) allows employees to stop working if they face 'abnormally dangerous conditions,' and a rule under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act creates an employee right to refuse work because of 'apprehension of death or injury.' Using a hypothetical scenario, I show that neither law would assist emergency workers who lack protective gear while responding to a terror attack.
"I propose an NLRB rule to strengthen Section 502, a 1947 law that is dormant but appropriate for these abnormal workplace dangers. Although part of my proposal draws on the experiences of 9/11, it is mainly founded on fundamental changes in job duties and government employment regulations that recognize a permanent threat to domestic security. The growing list of affected occupations includes dockworkers and doctors, subway and airport workers, power plant and postal employees, and more. However, my proposal excludes police, firefighters, and most paramedics. They perform immediate lifesaving services, and in any event, are excluded from the NLRB's jurisdiction because they are public employees.
"My proposal draws from the fruitless experience of appellate court decisions on Section 502. This caselaw is conflicted because courts disagree as to whether an employee must present proof in fact of an extreme risk, or be motivated by good faith belief. My proposal is also based on the intent of the drafters of Section 502. The two sponsors of this law were Republican senators who strongly opposed union interests. However, when proposing this law in the midst of enacting strike controls, they said 'it would be very unfair and very unjust to employees in any industry to penalize them, if, because of abnormal or unusually dangerous conditions, they should refrain from working.'
"Using evidence from recent GAO reports and other studies, I show that new types of emergency workers are poorly trained and equipped. For the few who train for a cataclysmic attack, their simulations are unrealistic. These employees— who, in their routine jobs do little or no life-threatening work— are not trained for their own fear and panic. Thus, there is too little attention to the possibility that these essential workers will refuse orders when their lives are endangered.
"By breathing life into Section 502, the NLRB would join the large circle of federal and state agencies that are currently immersed in this emergency planning. The purpose of my Article is not to spare a few careers that might otherwise be lost in a poor response to an attack. If these newly designated or de facto emergency workers are not extended a work refusal right, their employers will continue to be lax in improving protective equipment, communication systems, bio-terror inoculations, and work procedures. In the final analysis, proper training and protection of these new emergency workers is essential to deter, prevent, respond to, and mitigate an attack." —Abstract.

+Tomain, Joseph P., Katrina's Energy Agenda (provided by: SSRN) (U of Cincinnati Public Law Research Paper No. 06-18) (Natural Resources & Environment, Vol. 20, No. 4, Spring 2006)
"Hurricane Katrina is a warning for the United States not only about disaster response but also about planning for a healthy and productive energy economy. The Energy Policy Act of 2005, signed into law only months before Katrina, continues a policy that has dominated our energy thinking for over a century. Neither the United States nor the world can continue on a path of increased fossil fuel burning without acknowledging the long-term, global, difficult to manage, and complex to understand consequences of climate change. This article advocates a significant energy transition away from that path to become less dependent on fossil fuels and more dependent on cleaner renewable and alternative fuels. An alternative energy policy has been developing over the last three decades that is based on the assumption that energy production has a direct impact on the quality of the environment, on national security, and on global relations, as well as on a healthy pro-growth economy. Katrina presents an opportunity to reevaluate the traditional policy and to engage in a transition to this new "smart" energy policy for a strong economic future." —Abstract.

This is a list of United States Code sections, Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and Presidential Documents, which provide rulemaking authority for this CFR Part.
This list is taken from the Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules provided by GPO [Government Printing Office].
It is not guaranteed to be accurate or up-to-date, though we do refresh the database weekly. More limitations on accuracy are described at the GPO site.
Title 40 published on 2012-07-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 40 CFR 372 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-05812 RIN 2025-AA35 EPA-HQ-TRI-2012-0111 FRL-9785-9 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before May 13, 2013. 40 CFR Part 372 EPA is proposing to add ortho -nitrotoluene ( o -nitrotoluene) to the list of toxic chemicals subject to reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 1990. o -Nitrotoluene has been classified by the National Toxicology Program in their 12th Report on Carcinogens as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen." EPA believes that o -nitrotoluene meets the EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) criteria because it can reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer in humans. Based on a review of the available production and use information, o -nitrotoluene is expected to be manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in quantities that would exceed the EPCRA section 313 reporting thresholds.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-04933 RIN 2025-AA19 EPA-HQ-TRI-2006-0319 FRL-9787-1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Denial of petition. 40 CFR Part 372 EPA is denying a petition to remove acetonitrile from the list of chemicals subject to reporting requirements under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). EPA has reviewed the available data on this chemical and has determined that acetonitrile does not meet the deletion criterion of EPCRA section 313(d)(3). Specifically, EPA is denying this petition because EPA's review of the petition and available information resulted in the conclusion that acetonitrile meets the listing criterion of EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) due to its potential to cause death in humans.

HENDERSON, Ky. (10/25/13) - North Middle School teacher Nan Ternes' eighth grade English Language Arts class will be hosting a blanket drive for individuals in need throughout the community.
The purpose of the blanket drive was derived after students read a story in class dealing with issues of those less fortunate and wanted to help others in the community. The mission of the project is to keep people warm during the cold winter months.
"We've all needed a little help at one time or another. Everyone is so excited to be working together to help people who need it. I can't think of a better way to give back to the community," English Language Arts student, Alyssa DeCorrevont, said.
Students are accepting donations of new, homemade, and/or slightly used blankets starting October 25 and continuing through December 6 at North Middle School. People may drop blankets off during the following times: Mon. through Fri. 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Another student commented on the drive, "Knowing how cold it gets and how hard it is to stay warm, makes this a heartwarming cause. Thinking about how warm I stay when I sleep makes me happy knowing others can sleep warm now as well," Issmahel Sims, said.
Distribution of the blankets will be made through the Youth Service Center offices at each school. The Youth Service Coordinators will provide the logistics to make sure the blankets are in the hands of those in need.
For more information contact North Middle School, at 270-831-5060.

MARTIN, Tenn. – Alex Martin, Tyler Anderson, Max Balter and Chase Young have all signed National Letters of Intent to play baseball at The University of Tennessee at Martin, head coach Bubba Cates has announced.
Martin is a transfer out of Jackson State Community College in nearby Jackson, while the trio of Anderson, Balter and Young are rounding out their high school careers before advancing to UT Martin next fall.
"Hopefully Alex and these three freshmen will be foundational pieces for our program," Cates said. "They are all athletic and have the ability to be good college players."
A 6-0, 185-pound right-handed pitcher out of Clarksville, Martin will have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Skyhawks. Currently playing under head coach Tyson Malik, Martin filled a variety of roles in 2012 for the Generals, who posted a 34-18 record. Martin went 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in 10 appearances, conceding 29 hits while fanning 12 batters. Seven of his 10 appearances were multi-inning outings, including a career-high six frames against Walters State Community College on March 25.
Playing his high school ball alongside current Skyhawk Troy Holland at Rossview High School in Clarksville, Martin enjoyed a remarkable senior season. He went undefeated (8-0) on the hill on his way to earning 2011 Pitcher of the Year accolades from the Clarksville Leaf Chronicle newspaper. Overall, the Hawks completed their best season in school history, going 30-10 with a 16-2 league record under head coach Jason Rice. Martin led RHS to the regular season 10AAA and district tournament championship in 2011, earning multiple accolades – including all-area Pitcher and Player of the Year honors.
"We have some good connections and ties to Jackson State and we feel Alex is a late bloomer," Cates said. "He's really developed over the last year and threw a lot of quality innings. He broke some new ground and showed increased velocity in the span of one year and was pitching at a higher level, maturing at the right time."
Anderson is a utility player out of Sikeston Senior High School in Sikeston, Mo. Playing for head coach Alan Scheeter, the 6-2, 185-pound Anderson was a Class 4, District 1 first team selection in 2012, as well as a SEMO Conference honorable mention by the Dexter Daily Statesman newspaper. Primarily playing outfield, he has earned all-district and all-conference accolades in each of his first three seasons as a Bulldog. He experienced tremendous success at an early age, as he was named the batting champion at the 2007 Cal Ripken World Series in Aberdeen, Md., and still holds records for most hits in a game, home runs in a game and home runs in a series in the Babe Ruth League World Series. A true athlete, Anderson also lettered in soccer and basketball in high school.
"Tyler is versatile – he can play shortstop, outfield and pitch," Cates said. "He can be used in a lot of different ways and his versatility will allow us to get him in lots of ballgames. He's a hard thrower and a very athletic player."
A 6-0, 175-pound infielder, Balter attends Western High School in Davie, Fla. Primarily playing shortstop for head coach Paul Barnes, he was a 2012 honorable mention All-Broward County selection by the South Florida Sun Sentinel newspaper. He led the Wildcats with a .365 batting average while also tallying team-highs in hits, RBI, doubles and slugging percentage while also ranking fourth in his district in hits, RBI and doubles. He was identified by Jim Gemler as a Top Underclassmen prospect by Baseball America after a fall tournament in Fort Myers, Fla. in 2011.
"One thing we look for in a high school prospect is if he is projectable because of his tools and Max fits that mold," Cates said. "He runs well and has a very good arm and we think he can develop into a nice player in college. He has ties to the state of Tennessee – as his mother is from Knoxville and his grandfather ran track at Tennessee in the 1950's."
Young plays for head coach Brian Becker at Dexter High School in Dexter, Mo. but the 5-10, 170-pound outfielder originally grew up in Martin after both of his parents attended UT Martin. Young is coming off back-to-back all-SEMO Conference and all-district first team accolades. As a junior, he hit .408 with 29 runs scored and 28 RBI to go along with seven doubles and 11 stolen bases. Like fellow signee Anderson, Young is a three-sport athlete, also playing football and basketball. Primarily lining up at wide receiver, he was recently named as an all-SEMO Conference selection for the third straight season.
"Chase is a local guy and we have known him all his life," Cates said. "He's a versatile, solid, very athletic player who was a three-sport standout in high school. Sometimes when you get those guys and they focus on one sport in college, they apply all their energy into that sport and they improve."

If Jack Curtis were to describe himself as a basketball player, he would say that he's hard working, he does anything that he can for his team, and he will do what it takes to win, within reason, of course. That's pretty much how others describe him as well.
EVERGREEN COUGARS Head coach: Scott Haebe Assistant coaches: Jordan Diegman, Tom Warren, Adam Dodge Conference: 4A Jeffco 2012-13 record: 17-8 2012-13 recap: Evergreen went 11-3 to finish in second place in the 4A Jeffco League behind D'Evelyn. "Last year, I thought, was a really good season. Unfortunately, we ran into Lewis-Palmer in the Round of 16," Haebe said. The Cougars reached the third round of the 4A state tournament before losing to the eventual state champions.
By Craig Harper For the Courier It's never easy replacing a legend — especially during the season — but the somewhat unexpected transition apparently has been smooth for the Evergreen poms squad.
It was an atypical situation for Emily Elmgreen. The 5-foot-9 guard had never been put in the role of being a leader for the Lady Cougars' girls basketball team before. So it was certainly a learning experience to say the least, but she embraced it wholeheartedly.
EVERGREEN LADY COUGARS Head coach: Amy Bahl Assistant coaches: Scott Drysdale, Cheryl Newhall, Lisa Deal Conference: 4A Jeffco 2012-13 record: 13-12
It's not every day that a 2010 Olympian walks around Idaho Springs, but that's where skier Hailey Duke was last week. Actually, she was just stationed there while commuting up to Echo Mountain for a couple of days of warm-up runs before she seeks to complete the biggest comeback of her life. "We always have to come to Colorado during this time of the year. It's got the best skiing and best training leading into the first race of the season," the 28-year-old Sun Valley, Idaho native said.
Take one look at Lane Hanson now, as a 106-pound junior, and from when he first started wrestling for Evergreen High School a couple of years back as a 90-pound soaking-wet freshman, and one can tell the difference.
By Craig Harper For the Courier Nine months later, the pain still lingers for the Evergreen girls swim team. A disqualification in the opening final of the 4A championships erased a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay and, for all intents and purposes, ended the Lady Cougars' bid for their first state title.
The following is fall season all-conference selections for the 4A Jeffco League in boys soccer and volleyball:
BOYS SOCCER FIRST TEAM Darwin de La Rosa, Alameda; Drew Williams, Conifer; Nate Flack, D'Evelyn; Christian Denton, D'Evelyn; Alex Wormer, Evergreen; Matt Hornbecker, Evergreen; Jack Breer, Golden; Daniel Brughelli, Green Mountain; Troy Fairbanks, Wheat Ridge; Max Sweeney, Wheat Ridge; Connor Gronski, Wheat Ridge SECOND TEAM
PARKER — Peter Jeans doubled over, the emotions starting to overcome him. Evergreen's boys soccer coach, just like his team, had a hard time summing up his disappointment in the Cougars' 1-0 4A state semifinal loss to Cheyenne Mountain. A season that had so much promise was over in an instant.

Walton & Hersham are made to pay for the earliest of early baths
11:09am Monday 19th August 2013 in Football
By Mervyn Rees
Walton & Hersham suffered their first defeat in Ryman Division One South when Mark McLeod's red card handed Hythe Town the initiative with only six minutes on the clock.
The visitors to Stompond Lane took full advantage winning 4-0, and it could have been worse but for a penalty save by the Swans' keeper Tim Roberts.
Dave Cook was the man denied, but he did bag two goals, and Shaun Welford and Michael Yianni sealed a bad day at the office for Swans' manager Steve Baker.
Walton & Hersham go to Sittingbourne tomorrow night (Tuesday) and Corinthian Casuals on Saturday.

which poster was it that guaranteed a 49'er win
When the Author walks onto the stage, the play is over.
And they said; "Excise me son, can't you see that this is a LIGHT rail station? There's no way we can accommodate a man of your , ahem, stature. If you like, there's a freight yard a couple miles down the track that may be able to facilitate your excursion into the port."
( sorry BM)
That happened to me the first time the Patriots won the Superbowl. I couldn't even get on the train. I had to walk halfway across the city. It was colder than a nun's cunt out too. Luckily I had a gift card from the Garden pro-shop and I stopped in and bought a nice warm Bruins fleece sweatshirt to wear under my jacket.
Cool story bro.
C'mon Dave, you're reaching. Not a Ravens fan but the Chargers blew it.
"At least six Chargers were in position to make the tackle. Four over-pursued Rice, over-pursuing the runner to give him more open field to his left rather than staying in position to force Rice to come at them."
I think we should all just agree that the Baltimore Ravens would rather have not had Mike at their parade, as his obesity and idiocy would have ruined it all for the "true fans."
Joe F11acc0
prolly a good thing
BALTIMORE (WJZ) As Ravens fans celebrated, violence broke out not far from the parade route. One teenager is dead and two others were injured in a triple stabbing. Now homicide investigators are trying to track a killer.
When the Author walks onto the stage, the play is over.

Sapodilla (5 lbs)
Grown In: Dade County, FL
The Sapodilla, also known as Saps, is another member of the Sapote family. Shipped firm will slowly ripen similar to the Mamey. They have a stunning texture inside. An outrageous light brown color that gives off a "just want eat this" kind of feeling.
The outside of the fruit has a sand papery type skin similar to the Mamey. To eat just cut in half and remove the seed. I like to cut the fruit away from the skin and eat it just like a Melon. The taste of this fruit is extremely full flavored and very sweet. The bark of the tree is very interesting it has a white gummy latex called chicle which is a natural form of chewing gum. Saps contain high amounts of saponin. Enjoy this tropical treat as we have been for many years here in South Florida.

The GPFI Implementing Partners undertake and coordinate the implementation of the activities of the GPFI together with other relevant stakeholders and the participating G20 and non-G20 countries. Learn more about key activities, objectives and action points within the GPFI and about the G20's long-term commitment to financial inclusion.
This document is the second GPFI Work Plan and covers the calendar year 2013. It presents the structure of the GPFI, summarizes progress and outlines the work plan for the GPFI Subgroups.
GPFI Work Plan 2011-2012
This document is the first GPFI Work Plan, outlining the key activities, objectives and action points of the GPFI and its Subgroups.
June 2013: The first meeting and official launch of the newly formed GPFI Subgroup on Financial Consumer Protection and Financial Literacy is held in Moscow. At the meeting, the GPFI also welcomed the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as a GPFI Implementing Partner.
June 2012, G20 Los Cabos Summit: In their Summit Declaration, the G20 Leaders welcomed the progress made by GPFI on implementing the recommendations set out in its 2011 report and called on the GPFI to continue working towards their full implementation. The G20 Leaders endorsed the Basic Set of Financial Inclusion Indicators developed by the GPFI, designed to improve the quantity and quality of measurement and data on financial inclusion. The G20 Leaders welcomed the GPFI Conference on Standard-Setting Bodies and Financial Inclusion in Basel (October 2012) as a means of helping to create an enabling regulatory environment and called on the GPFI to report progress on this conference to the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in November. Recognizing the key role that SMEs play in economic development, and poverty reduction, the G20 Leaders also welcomed the launch of the SME Finance Compact. The "G20 Financial Inclusion Peer Learning Program" was formalized in Los Cabos: under the program, likeminded G20 and non-G20 countries commit to create national programs mandating actions to promote financial inclusion. The GPFI will guide these efforts of sharing knowledge, experiences, challenges and solutions. In addition, the G20 Leaders supported ongoing efforts to create an additional GPFI Subgroup with a focus on consumer protection and financial literacy issues to complement the already existing three Subgroups.
April 2012, SME Finance Forum: As part of the GPFI framework, the SME Finance Forum is officially launched. The Forum is a collaborative knowledge sharing platform for data, research and best practices for SME finance. It offers tools for policy makers and funders to share knowledge and build networks to encourage innovation and promote scaling-up of successful SME finance models. The Forum is managed by IFC.
January 2012: The World Bank joins the GPFI as an Implementing Partner.
November 2011, G20 Cannes Summit: The GPFI delivered its planned outputs for 2011 to the G20 Leaders. Outputs included a consolidated report of the three Subgroups, a policy framework for SME Finance, a financial inclusion data framework, the launch of an SME Finance knowledge sharing platform, and the announcement of the SME Finance Compact – a partnership with LDCs committed to implementing the SME finance policy framework. The Subgroup on SME Finance provided research reports on Agriculture SME Finance and Women Entrepreneurs Access to Finance. The Subgroup on Principles and Standard-Setting Bodies (SSBs) provided a progress report on its work, including a white paper and country case studies on the SSBs and financial inclusion prepared on the GPFI's behalf by CGAP and AFI respectively. The Subgroup on Data and Measurement produced a progress report with consolidated findings and recommendations based on financial inclusion data and stocktaking analysis, the key performance indicators and the initial approaches to country-level target setting and framed the piloting program with a subset of countries to test the initial target setting framework in coordination with the other relevant GPFI work streams.
December 2010, Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion: The first meeting of the Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI) is held in Seoul in December 2010 and three Subgroups are created. The Subgroups are: the Subgroup on Principles and Standard-Setting Bodies (SSBs), the Subgroup on SME Finance, and the Subgroup Financial Inclusion Data and Measurement.
November 2010, G20 Seoul Summit: The SME Finance Challenge winners are announced along with commitments to the SME Finance Framework of $528m (additional pledges were made subsequently). G20 Leaders endorsed a Financial Inclusion Action Plan and called for the creation of the Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion as the mechanism to execute it. An SME finance stocktaking report was delivered to the Leaders. G20 Leaders made development one of their priorities and adopted financial inclusion as one of the nine pillars of the Development Working Group's overall agenda.
September 2010, SME Finance Challenge: The Challenge, run by Ashoka's Changemakers with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, receives 356 entries by its close in early September 2010. Fourteen winners are chosen by a panel of 5 independent and 3 G20 judges. Canada leads the coordination of the SME Finance Innovation Trust Fund to mobilize the resources to implement the winning proposals.
June 2010, G20 Toronto Summit: The SME Finance Challenge is launched and G20 Leaders, along with the Multilateral Development Banks, commit to mobilize the resources to implement the Challenge winners. Canada publicly commits $20 million for the Challenge. The Principles for Innovative Financial Inclusion, developed by the ATI subgroup, are endorsed.
November 2009, G20 Pittsburgh Summit: G20 Leaders commit to improving access to financial services for the poor. The Financial Inclusion Experts Group (FIEG) is launched with two subgroups: Access through Innovation (ATI) – to develop principles for promoting financial inclusion (in particular through promising innovations) - and SME Finance. The SME Finance Challenge, an effort to elicit proposals from the private sector for the use of public resources to catalyze private sector capital for SMEs, is also announced.

Giving Thanks
As we approach our national holiday of thanks in America, a day I like to call Turkey Day instead of the traditional Thanksgiving, I thought I would come up with a list of things that I'm thankful for as I look back over the last calendar year.
I'm thankful for — the greatness that is Albert Pujols and Joe Mauer. Pay close attention to this duo folks. Years from now when you are in your rocking chair on the porch you'll be able to tell the grand kids about how you witnessed their magnificence with a bat in their hands.
I'm thankful for — my new nephew Yonathan who was born on Monday, the 23rd of November just in time for the holiday. He joins my niece Hermela as the two shinning lights of my brother's marriage. Not only that, he takes the heat of me for grand children since at the rate I'm going I'll be lucky if I can find someone to hold my hand on Friday night. OK, it's not really that bad, but you have to keep a brave face on when your younger brother outdoes you.
I'm thankful for — my computer – when it works. Without it I wouldn't be able to do my job, though on those rare days that it doesn't work I wish I was living back in Victorian times, that is until I remember that they didn't have TiVo back then
I'm thankful for — the 49ers. Even though they are nothing more than average, they remind the Bay Area what football is supposed to look like. They haven't seen competence with a football team in the East Bay in, well, forever (the Raiders are simply dreadful). How bad is it when there is a legitimate question if the local NFL team could be beaten by a college squad (Stanford certainly could give the Raiders a run for it).
I'm thankful for — my job. Lot's of good folks don't have one right now.
I'm thankful for — doctors who have finally stepped up and started to do some real work with players who have head injuries. No longer do we see guys with concussions being treated cavalierly. A bruise to your brain is what it is people, and I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty serious to me.
I'm thankful for — pumpkin pie. I never eat it except at the holidays, but when the parties roll around I'm all about the dessert tray.
I'm thankful for — the San Jose Sharks magnificence in the regular season. Now if I could just add thanks for a wonderful playoff run all would be right in the world.
I'm thankful for — the impending release of our 2010 Baseball Preview Magazine that will be on newsstands prior to Christmas.
I'm thankful for — the continued success of Fanball. Can't say I'm surprised since that's what happens to good people who put in an honest day's work.
I'm thankful for — Thursday night football. Wait, I'm not thankful for that in the least. Worst idea in the history of the NFL as it puts players needlessly at risk of injury just for the sake of a few more bucks, hardly what the NFL needs at the moment.
I'm thankful for — the three point line in the NBA, though I wish that Manute Bol was still slinging up those 25 footers, those were the days.
I'm thankful for — being able to watch Tim Lincecum in person. If you haven't availed yourself of the chance to do just that put it down as a must do in 2010. The moment he walks on the field you simply cannot look away. He's mesmerizing in a way that I haven't seen since Pedro Martinez in his heyday.
And finally—
I'm thankful for — the freedoms that we enjoy as citizens of this great country of the United States of America. We should all be thankful for that.
By Ray Flowers
