The post State Bill Aims to Prevent Collegiate Student-Athletes from Unionizing appeared first on University of Michigan SAAC.]]>
A Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives introduced a bill Tuesday that would bar collegiate student-athletes from unionizing — a move to preempt a repeat of similar efforts on other campuses across the nation.
State Rep. Al Pscholka (R–Lincoln Township) presented the bill, which would specify that college students are not classified as "public employees." The bill was referred to the Committee on Michigan Competitiveness.
Pscholka said in an interview with The Michigan Daily that he intends for the bill to reinforce the idea of student-athletes being students first, and added that receiving a scholarship does not mean a student is working a job.
"You're going to college to get the education that will literally provide you with a lifetime of benefits," he said. "That's how important I think education is, and I think we've lost sight of that."
The topic of student-athletes unionizing originated at Northwestern University this summer, when the school's football team voted to unionize. Peter Sung Ohr, regional director for the National Labor Relations Board, determined in March that the players were employees of the university and were eligible to unionize. However, Northwestern administrators have challenged the ruling and are waiting for a decision from the national board, comprised of three Democrats and two Republicans, in Washington.
Pscholka said his bill is not a response to any similar movements by student-athletes at Michigan schools, but said he has been working on it for several months.
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said it's too early for the University to take a stand on the matter of unionization or the bill itself. He added that legislation is often changed in committee and said he hopes to learn more as the bill is discussed.
LSA junior Cooper Charlton, president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, said student-athletes are not making any concerted effort to unionize like the Northwestern football team. However, he said the Northwestern situation has spurred a conversation among student-athletes here, and he hopes to learn more about the issues.
"Northwestern started the conversation and we just want to join it," Charlton said. "By join it, I don't mean we're picking sides — we're not picking sides whatsoever. We're just trying to hear both sides of the argument."
Charlton said opinions about unionization and student-athlete compensation vary among University student-athletes. He said different teams distribute scholarships to their players differently. Additionally, student-athlete scholarships can be affected by financial need and other factors, just like with non-athletes.
Charlton said he believes the University has provided for the needs of students already, though he recognizes that student-athletes occasionally feel otherwise. He added that there have been recent policy changes, such as the NCAA allowing for schools to provide unlimited meals to student-athletes, that have been helpful.
"I haven't talked to any athletes that are up in arms," Charlton said. "Now, there are people that have expressed sometimes they wish they could maybe have another meal every day but there's no great demand. Michigan does a great job of giving us what we need."
Moving forward, Charlton said he and the SAAC will be looking into the specifics of what unionization would mean for the University.

The post Student Athletes Want to be Heard appeared first on University of Michigan SAAC.]]>
We are Michigan student-athletes. Among the recent controversy regarding Michigan Athletics, our voices have been left out. It's time for us to be heard.
We believe that recent coverage of Michigan Athletics has been largely one-sided. Understand that media coverage and decisions made about Michigan Athletics intimately affect our lives. We have been insulted and discredited not only as student-athletes, but as people. Out of respect to our university, we have stayed silent for weeks; now, we feel the need to speak up.
We appreciate the discourse among stakeholders in Michigan Athletics: alumni, students, administrators and the community we serve. We have no problem with people expressing opinions of the administration that, in large part, governs our experience as student-athletes. What we do have a problem with is those outside of our 900-plus-strong community attempting to speak for us.
The balance that student-athletes maintain between academics and athletics is under intense scrutiny. One example of many appeared last week in University President Mark Schlissel's comments regarding student-athlete academic eligibility and performance.
"We admit students who aren't as qualified, and it's probably the kids that we admit that can't honestly, even with lots of help, do the amount of work and the quality of work it takes to make progression from year to year."
Let us be clear: this is just one example of a misunderstanding that has left us feeling disappointed and frustrated. We have acknowledged President Schlissel's apology, but maintain that his comments are not only hurtful, but indicative of a larger problem on campus.
Public perception of student-athletes is too easily swayed by the media and deafening public opinion. Our objective in the near future is to take back the autonomy of our image. We are here for an education; there is nothing less that is expected of us simply because we are student-athletes, and we hold ourselves to the same standard as every other student on campus.
The discourse of prior weeks, as shortsighted as it is, comes from a history much deeper than the events of this fall. A history where it is OK to dismiss student-athletes as dumb, unmotivated and one-dimensional simply because of the time they spend outside of school. Stereotyping diminishes not only its perpetrators and its victims, but the entire campus community that should value diversity and compassion over judgment and spite.
We consider it the ultimate honor to wear the block 'M' , and this is a unifying value throughout campus. The block 'M' unites us all — students and musicians and engineers and actors and activists and researchers and student-athletes. It's a privilege to share this tradition, one that we believe is the best in the world. We appreciate all contributions to make Michigan the Leaders and Best and hope our contributions are valued as well.
In President Schlissel's inaugural address, he implored us to agree on three central tenets, the third of which stated that "as members of this community, we will always seek out, encourage, and value all voices." In these times of turbulence, we turn to you, no matter how you wear the block 'M' . We are asking for our unique voice to be received with curiosity instead of judgment; and we promise that to yours, we will do the same.

The post Central Student Goverment and Michigan Athletics Collaborate to Foster a Unified Campus appeared first on University of Michigan SAAC.]]>
• Athletics will work to design a new plan for next season that will include a significant price decrease for football student season tickets. Athletics will announce student season ticket prices for the 2015 football season next week.
• Rental fees for athletic facilities will be eliminated for student groups with a charitable focus.
• The department has committed to work with the Big Ten to create a blackout weekend where Crisler Center will be available for MUSIC Matters in 2016.
• Monthly meetings with students will be held with Athletic Director Dave Brandon to address topics relating to all 31 teams and Michigan Athletics.
• Dishell and Brandon will have regular standing meetings.
• The athletic department will create a student advisory board comprised of student-athletes, non-athletes, season ticketholders and non-ticketholders.
"It has been great working with our Athletic Director and his department to come to these agreements," said Dishell. "This is a huge step forward for students and our relationship with our Athletic Department. We look forward to continuing to work together to create the optimal environment for all Michigan students."
"Often times, negativity is louder than positivity, however, it is important to realize that Bobby, myself, and other student leaders on campus have worked hard to establish effective lines of communication that aim to enhance Michigan tradition today and into the future," said Cooper Charlton, President of U-M's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) that is representative of all 931 student-athletes. "The newly created opportunity for open dialogue creates a framework to hold our athletic department and students accountable, thus fostering a relationship built on trust. Together, we will create sustainable long-term relationships that forge a unified Michigan family."
"Michigan Athletics looks forward to forging a strong relationship with Central Student Government," said Dave Brandon, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. "This is an important relationship for us, one that we need to repair, and one that will provide mutual support among all students. We have worked closely with CSG over the past year and this will continue to strengthen our very important work with the student community."

The post SAAC Press Release appeared first on University of Michigan SAAC.]]>
As student-athletes, we are confident that each member of the Athletic Department acts with our best interests in mind. We applaud Dave Brandon for upholding the tradition and values of Michigan to the highest standard, encouraging us to be leaders and best in all aspects of life. As such, we fully support our Athletic Director and trust his ability to make decisions for our success and wellbeing.
It is important to remember that there are 931 student-athletes and 31 teams at the University of Michigan. These individuals and teams consistently achieve great success in every realm. The 2013-2014 academic year saw 5 Big Ten Championships, 1 Team National Championship, and 3 Individual National Champions. A total of 55 Wolverines were named Big Ten Distinguished Scholars, and 6 achieved Academic All-American honors. Student-athletes also collectively contributed hundreds of hours of community service and raised over $25,000 for charitable causes through last year's Mock Rock performance. Simply put, as student-athletes we refuse to be defined by the successes or failures of any one team alone.
Competing for the University of Michigan is a privilege and an honor. The athletic community is often scrutinized, but at the end of the day we are one Michigan family; we support one another, and we appreciate the support of family, friends and fans.
On behalf of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee,
Thank you & Go Blue!

The post It's On Us appeared first on University of Michigan SAAC.]]>
Michigan It's On Us We are the Leaders and the Best for a reason. The University of Michigan is one of 200 colleges nationwide that is participating in the It's On Us campaign, which aims at engaging students and communities in helping prevent sexual assault on college campuses.
The Big Ten was the first conference to sign up to participate in the campaign. The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee was called by the president of the university's Central Student Government to participate as leaders in this campaign at Michigan. SAAC, as well as the University Chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the LSA student government and the Education Theatre Company have come together to join the 800 leaders of other nationwide universities to take action with this campaign.
The It's On Us campaign was created after "Not Alone" – the White House task force to protect students from sexual assault – was signed on January 22, 2014 by President Barak Obama. In the report, Obama states:
"Sexual violence is more than just a crime against individuals. It threatens our families, it threatens our communities; ultimately, it threatens the entire country. It tears apart the fabric of our communities. And that's why we're here today — because we have the power to do something about it as a government, as a nation."
It's On Us officially launched on Friday, September 19th at 11:00 a.m. at the White House. The White House advisor on Violence Against Women, Lynn Rosenthal, hosted a panel on sexual assault and awareness during a televised announcement. It's On Us is a cultural movement, inviting us to change the way we think about sexual assault, in order to inspire us to take action to report and prevent it.
SAAC invites all student-athletes to be recognized as leaders and best by taking the pledge. The pledge includes four important components:
"1. To recognize that non-consensual sex is sexual assault.
2. To identify situations in which sexual assault may occur.
3. To intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given.
4. To create an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable."
In regards to taking the pledge and supporting the campaign, SAAC president, Cooper Charlton said:
"The It's On Us campaign provides our student athletes, and all those at the University of Michigan, with a platform to band together in order to change the culture around sexual assault. On our campus, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and the Central Student Government have invested immense energy in gathering as many pledges as we can. We believe the pledge creates a sense of responsibility and holds our students and student-athletes to a certain standard. Our objective is to take a leadership role in this national campaign – the University of Michigan is committed to changing the culture around sexual misconduct. "
The It's On Us campaign, specifically on the University of Michigan's campus, has also paired with I Will, a student-run initiative that aims to form a collective voice that will create a sense of responsibility around sexual misconduct.
In addition to I Will, Arthur Miller Theater, on North Campus, is putting on a play called "Good Kids" which is a centerpiece to the Expect Respect: Flip the Script campaign, also currently going on at UM. The debut of this play is coincidentally at the end of the week of the It's On Us campaign, adding to the campus wide sexual assault prevention efforts. The performance is directed by Gillian Eaton and highlights the public aftermath of sexual assault on students of a high school. The play will be performed on October 2-5 and October 9-12.
You may have noticed throughout the week that the social media outlets for SAAC (@mgosaac) has created awareness of the campaign by posting pictures of the It's On Us logo accompanied by an athlete in the background. As student-athletes at the University of Michigan, we are held to a higher standard. We are constantly scrutinized by the rest of the student body, and we have a responsibility to uphold our core values in a positive manner. By taking the pledge, you are becoming a role model for other students, hopefully leading them to take the pledge too. We are the leaders and best.

The post The Call To Action appeared first on University of Michigan SAAC.]]>
Expanding beyond the University's influential individuals, celebrities and prominent organizations have fervently pledged their support to combat sexual assault. It's On Us emphasizes the importance of ownership over the apparent problem and empowerment of everyone to make a difference with the intention of influencing and changing cultural attitudes about sexual assault.
Take the pledge to be part of the solution and learn more at itsonus.org
It's on us to not look the other way. Join us today and be part of the movement to combat sexual assault.

The freshmen then moved to the Crisler Center where they were greeted by thunderous cheers and music by the upperclassmen athletes. The cheers slowly died down when University celebrities Dave Brandon and Greg Harden took the stage. Each defined and expanded upon what it means to be a Michigan student-athlete with Bo Schembechler's legendary mantra, "the team, The Team, THE TEAM" at the core.
To conclude the night, SAAC delivered copious amounts of food to the student-athletes from popular Ann Arbor restaurants. The feast included a wide arrray of cuisine: Chinese, Mexican, Soul Food, and classic American Burgers. The athletic department really knows a foolproof way to the heart of their athletes: food.
From the learning of "The Victors" to the eclectic collection of food, it was a tremendous evening that said "Welcome Home" in true Michigan style.

Keep Moving
- Peter Behrens (Author)
The Law of Dreams. House of Anansi Press (purchase at Amazon.ca)
Reviewed by Russell Morton Brown
Peter Behrens' powerful first novel has been a long time coming. His previous book, the short story collection Night Driving, was published in 1987, with some of its stories written a decade before that. If Behrens has needed some thirty years to prepare himself for The Law of Dreams, the wait has been worthwhile.
Night Driving showed its author learning from a variety of sources: its first story sounds like the masculinist writing of early Richard Ford; a later one draws on the Southern Gothic as channelled by Leon Rooke; others recall the textured relationships in Mavis Gallant's writing, explore the dispirited western ethos of Guy Vanderhaeghe's early fiction, or display the complex emotional arcs that characterize the narratives of Clark Blaise (who wrote the book's back-cover blurb). Good models all, but our awareness of them shows Behrens still assimilating what he had been reading.
The Law of Dreams is quite different. It's told with a burnished and sometimes terse imagism that no longer signals its debts.
The coal fire sizzled in the grate. Fragrance of butter, toast, blackberry jam, and tea with sugar clouded the room. … Shea poured the tea and Mary, in a crisp white cap and apron, handed the cups around. He had grown fond of the whores' drink of tea, its smoky flavor. They never had tasted tea on the mountain. Water or whiskey. Milk he'd tasted from Phoebe's pail, or stolen, squeezed from her father's cows in the field. Men drank porter in the beer shops on market day, after selling the pig.
This writing makes use of the "poetic" style we associate with a number of contemporary fiction writers, many of whom began as poets: Michael Ondaatje, Jane Urquhart, Anne Michaels, and Michael Redhill. As in their work, this style is sometimes at odds with the harrowing material it recounts.
He'd been beaten, often. The open palm, the fist, the stick. Speechless violence, what men seemed to admire most of all. The humiliation almost unbearable, far worse than the pain.
The next scream flickered so fast, like a startled bird, he almost believed he hadn't heard a thing.
When Behrens decided to tell this story set within the environmental disaster that disrupted nineteenth-century Ireland, he was responding to the bits of family history he had heard growing up in Montreal. His choice also speaks to our current concerns with the environment, and the close appearance of The Law of Dreams and American novelist Cormac McCarthy's new novel, The Road, is a sign of our uneasy times: in each an ecologically devastated world causes a breakdown in civilized order that sends its starving inhabitants on perilous and uncertain journeys. But Behrens' picaresque narrative and his retelling of past events with lyric realism is quite different from McCarthy's spare fable of future journeying in a post-apocalyptic world chiefly inhabited by shadowy and monstrous humans. In contrast to the restricted canvas of The Road, The Law of Dreams is filled with vivid events and with colourful characters that bring a mixture of kindness and threats.
When Behrens' protagonist, Fergus O'Brien, is expelled from the farmlands that defined all he knew, he must go for the first time where "the world is strangers," guided only by what he calls "the law of dreams"—which is "keep moving." Driven by his sense that "your dead want an answer and all you have is memory and the road," he lives a version of the nineteenth-century Irish diaspora. He is put into and escapes a workhouse in Ireland; he allies himself with a gang of wild youths roaming the countryside; he journeys to Liverpool in England, where he lives for a time in a bawdy house; next he travels to Wales, finding there a female companion who alternately saves and betrays him. Together they undertake the difficult Atlantic crossing aboard one of the coffin ships on which so many perished. In the novel's conclusion Fergus has arrived in Montreal; there, alone once more, he realizes that further journeying lies ahead.
The accomplishment of The Law of Dreams is how, in all this telling, it locates the reader inside the skin of its main character. This is the novel as experience, a book to be lived.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Lance Dunbar ran for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, as the Dallas Cowboys' reserves beat the Miami Dolphins, 30-13, in the final tuneup for the regular season.
With most of the Cowboys' starters sitting out, Phillip Tanner took advantage of the extra playing time and scored on the ground to go along with 48 yards on nine carries.
Stephen McGee started under center and passed for 124 yards on 9-of-18 throws for Dallas, which went 3-1 in the preseason and will open the NFL's regular season schedule next Wednesday at MetLife Stadium against the Giants.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, went winless in the preseason for the first time since 1989.
Ryan Tannehill, in his final dress rehearsal before starting against the Texans on September 9, played two series and threw for 35 yards on 5-of-7 passes.
Matt Moore was not much better in relief, completing just 4-of-12 attempts for 49 yards and an interception, which was taken back 26 yards for a touchdown by Orie Lemon in the second quarter.
Miami's Dan Carpenter kicked a pair of field goals in the opening quarter, but Dallas scored the next 27 points -- 20 coming in the second quarter.
Dan Bailey made two field goals and Tanner ran in a one-yard score in the second, and Dunbar rumbled for a 58-yard TD in the third.
Lamar Miller was one of the few bright spots for the Dolphins, amassing 60 yards and 17 carries while scoring on a one-yard plunge late in the third.
Bailey kicked a 26-yarder in the fourth to account for the final score.
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was found not to have violated the university's conduct code over allegations that he sexually assaulted a fellow student in December 2012.
Sprint will end its partnership with NASCAR after the 2016 season.
You have to believe Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross isn't a big fan of history because he sure didn't learn from it.
The San Francisco Giants have acquired infielder Casey McGehee from the Miami Marlins in exchange for minor league pitchers Kendry Flores and Luis Castillo.
Denver Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari has been diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee and is out indefinitely.

California Looking to El Dorado Hills' Recycled Water to Ease Drought concerns
Proponents call it water recycling. Critics call it "toilet-to-tap." But as the drought has taken hold in California, opposition to the idea has been drying up, and recycled water is winning...
El Dorado Hills has emerged as a model for water recycling in both the region and the state. The city of 42,000 was one of the state's earliest converts to recycled water and remains a leader.
"We've been doing it aggressively for 20 years now," said Kirk Bone, government relations director with Parker Development, the company behind the upscale, gated Serrano subdivision in El Dorado Hills.
In the late 1970s, the El Dorado County Irrigation District started recycling water as a way to help meet new discharge requirements, said Vickie Caulfield, the district's division manager for wastewater operations. The recycled water initially was used only by a golf course and a local wood products plant.
But then the developers of Serrano came calling. They saw recycled wastewater as a means to building thousands of homes across parched ridges where cattle grazed and rattlesnakes basked.
"Water was always a problem," Bone said. "Early on, we realized we couldn't rely on potable water."
The developers spent $10 million to help upgrade treatment plants and install pipelines, he said. Initially it was only used on the community's golf course, but in the early 2000s Serrano moved to landscape the front and backyards of new homes with recycled water.
Now, weather stations with satellite links and soil monitors determine the precise amount of water needed, and the Serrano homeowners' association controls most front-yard irrigation to conserve water, said maintenance manager David Sanders.
That water comes from the city's two wastewater plants, which treat the sewage flowing in using an elaborate process that includes filtering through sand, coal and plastic beads. At the end, the water is run through blindingly bright banks of ultraviolet lights to disinfect it.
Some of the water is discharged to a creek flowing by, but much of it is sent by purple pumps through purple pipes to hilltop holding tanks. The color purple is commonly used to differentiate pipes carrying recycled water in systems dual-plumbed with drinking water.
"It's called reclaimed water once it hits the purple pipe, and out it goes," said Alan Planje, supervisor of operations and maintenance at the El Dorado Hills Wastewater Treatment Plant.
That plant and the Deer Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant now serve about 4,000 homes in four subdivisions in El Dorado Hills. But plans call for 5,000 more homes to be built at Serrano, Blackstone and other developments. Eventually, a total of 9,000 houses will be plumbed with purple pipe and connected to the system, officials said.
The city of Sacramento has not made similar strides, largely because in a typical year it doesn't face the same kind of water worries: The city has its own water rights in the American and Sacramento rivers and does not depend on buying water from anybody else, making for a relatively cheap and abundant water supply.
But even in Sacramento, the ongoing drought has raised awareness that water is a finite resource. This year, the city has mandated 20 percent cutbacks in usage and restricted landscape irrigation to help bolster supplies for neighboring communities that also rely on Sierra snowmelt.
"The drought has given new impetus to recyling," Mills said.

Gates: Increasing Violence in Afghanistan Expected in Weeks Ahead
April 21, 2011 10:45 PM
ABC News' Kristina Wong reports:
Three months ahead of the beginning of a July 2011 U.S. troop drawdown in Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told reporters today there has been "some uptick in activity" by Taliban fighers, and that he expected "an increase in the level of violence and activity beginning in a few weeks."
"We're still kind of in the middle of the poppy harvest. ... So I think they're really expecting whatever return to the battlefield there is by the Taliban will be probably sometime more in May -- in May and June," he told reporters at the Pentagon Thursday.
Joint Chiefs Vice Chairman Gen. James Cartright, who spoke alongside Gates, said that the recent uptick was more along the lines of the "individual spectacular attack rather than groups of people."
U.S. military officials have said the Taliban's momentum has been reversed, but today Gates warned that its fighters "clearly intend to try to take that back."
"My own view is that this year is a critical year," he said. "If we can prevent them this year from retaking the areas that we have taken away from them, and we can continue to expand the security bubble, I think it's possible that by the end of this year we will have turned a corner just because of the Taliban being driven out, and, more importantly, kept out."
"But," he said, "that's more months into the future than it is -- than it is weeks."
From Afghanistan, U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Sean Mulholland, deputy commander of Regional Command-North, said today he was "cautiously optimistic."
"The winter gains are still holding. We haven't lost any territory," he told reporters today from Afghanistan. "I would still say we are still in the woods. We're not out of the woods. We still need to be relentless in continuing to pressure the Taliban and the bad actors up here."
While American casualties in Afghanistan due to hostile fire are comparable to last year's, there has been a significant uptick in this April compared to last April, according to statistics compiled by iCasualties.org.
22 U.S. troops have been killed so far this month, compared to 14 U.S. troops last April.

In addition, the number of our soldiers killed in the past two years is astounding, yet the media and the antiwar crowd seem to be on vacation. Obama's policies of SNAFU and FUBAR seem to be working well...

Rick, are you trying to say that you think that the US military DIDN'T win the war in Afghanistan?
In case you have been in a cave, Rick Van Winkle, the war was won a long time ago. Time to leave.
Posted by: Flash Override | Apr 23, 2011 11:27:32 AM
We are really stupid to keep trying to play gentle in Afghanistan.
Either wage war and win, no matter what the cost.......or get out.
I figure the best alternative is to get out, because the politicians won't allow the military to do what is genuinely needed, to win.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates should adopt DHS Secretary Napolitano's recently scrapped Terror Alert Color Code system for Afghanistan! Since most of the people in Afghanistan either cannot or don't have the time to read about terror threats the color system should work well for the general population!!

- Evo 3 Qt. Savannah Stainless Steel Tea Kettle Review by JY6
Prior to my purchase, I researched other brand name kettles ranging from $50+. Surprisingly, the higher ticket kettles was constructed of plastic parts with reviews indicating poor performance and quality. The Evco Savannah 3 q.t kettle is every bit as good as the $100 kettles and no plastic parts whatsoever. Stylish, quality grade material, easy pour spout and quickly heats and retains a hot temperature for some time. The handle stays cool. Very satisfied with the purchase.......

After three years at the heart of Wellington's successful Richter City Roller Derby, Merryn McAulay - aka Tuff Bikkies - is on her way to the big leagues.
McAulay, 30, and fellow Wellingtonian Michelle "Perky Nah Nah" Jackson, are part of the 20-strong New Zealand team heading to the Roller Derby World Cup in Toronto.
Thirteen countries are fronting up to contest the cup, which begins with an exhibition match by the US team on December 1.
"It's Team America versus Team America - because they're just so much better than everyone else," McAulay says.
McAulay had been crossing her fingers the Kiwi team would get a chance to go up against the US and on Friday her wish was granted when the pool draw was announced.
New Zealand will meet Scotland and the US in their first two bouts. All teams then play through each round to determine rankings from 1-13.
The New Zealand team members have been training hard, travelling to Hamilton every month for full-team practices.
They also have their own haka. "We're not sure if we'll do it at every bout or just at the opening ceremony," McAulay says.
She is a founding member of Wellington's Richter City Roller Derby league, which has just finished an exciting away season playing other centres, including Auckland and Christchurch.
"We've had three seasons now and I was one of the people that first started in Wellington.
"We saw them starting up in Auckland and thought it looked really cool, but that first game, we had no idea whether anyone would turn up to watch - and then it sold out."
Subsequent matches at the TSB Bank Arena have continued to draw big crowds and the league is now well known in Wellington.
McAulay says her workmates from Alexander Turnbull Library, where she is a librarian, have come along to support her.
Roller derby is not recognised by Sparc as an official sport, so the team is unable to qualify for Sparc funding, or help from other sport funding institutes.
The team has been fundraising for months, holding events and selling merchandise to raise about $100,000 needed to get the members to Canada.
With more roller derby leagues popping up every year, Team New Zealand includes players from Mt Maunganui, Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch.

Blog: It's St George's Day - St Who?
Olly Wehring | 24 April 2007
Not that many people noticed, but yesterday (23 April) was St George's Day. As the patron saint of my environ, I'd have expected the streets of London to be running with red and white (face paint, I mean) last night, with pubs packed to the gunnels with revellers.
After all, St Patrick's Day last month saw the world and his dog don green livery, a Guinness hat and a shaky Oirish accent in every nook and cranny of London. Granted, it was a Saturday, but St Patrick's Day has still become the stuff of alcohol-related legend in the UK in recent years.
The veritable sound of crickets in central London last night suggests to me, however, that someone, somewhere in the drinks industry is missing a trick.
And where was I heading last night? Why, to Wells & Young's hugely enjoyable Bombardier St George's party in Covent Garden, where it felt like every St George-related drinker had congregated.
And somehow, I doubt they'll be using this photo - featuring your's truly (after his first pint, I assure you) with The Publican's Adam Withrington - on any of their promotional work going forward.
A shame, if you ask me.

Banksters Rally Round Fed To Keep Bailout Trillions Secret
Steve Watson
The largest commercial banks in the U.S. are ready to go all the way to the Supreme Court to block the public release of details pertaining to the Federal Reserve's 2008 secretive $2 trillion bailout.
Bloomberg News reports
that The Clearing House Association LLC, a group that includes Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., have teamed with the Fed to rally against a lawsuit, brought by Bloomberg itself, to disclose records of the Fed's emergency lending.
The fight for disclosure has been ongoing following the Fed's failure to comply with congressional demands for transparency.
The Fed has consistently
refused to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion
of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank accepted as collateral.
A New York District ruling last August declared that the destination of around $2 trillion dollars in bailout funds must be revealed after the Fed failed to convince the Judge that the records should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
Citing the fact that the US taxpayer is an "involuntary investor" in the nation's banks, Bloomberg argued that the risks behind the $2 trillion in lending needed to be made public.
Following more stalling, a further ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan on March 19 ordered the central bank to release the documents. The Fed once again argued that disclosure would be harmful to its independence, would stigmatize borrowers and discourage banks from seeking further emergency help.
"Our member banks are very concerned about real-time disclosure of information that could cause a run on the banks," said Paul Saltzman, the group of bank's general counsel, in an interview yesterday. "We're not going to let the Second Circuit opinion stand without seeking a review."
If the appeal for a review is turned down, the bank group will then petition the Supreme Court, Saltzman added.
Banks incorporated by the New York-based Clearing House group also include Citigroup Inc., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Holdings Plc, PNC Financial Services Group Inc., UBS AG, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo & Co.
The Fed Board of Governors' "refusal to disclose the names of borrowers renders public oversight of its actions impossible -- it prevents any assessment of the effectiveness of the Board's actions and conceals any collusion, corruption, fraud or abuse that might have occurred," Bloomberg states in a letter to the appeals panel.
The amount of US taxpayer money committed to bailouts since 2007 is thought to be
close to $25 trillion
. The figures by far exceed the combined
cost of major historical events,
accounting for inflation, dating back over 200 years.
Taxpayers have been left completely in the dark as to who has received the money and what they are doing with it.
The public has watched in disbelief for close to eighteen months as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has arrogantly
refused to state where any of the bailout money has gone,
despite repeated questioning during Congressional and Senate hearings.
There is no accounting for the spending. The Federal Reserve, which is owned and run for the most part by European banking elites, has never been audited and is accountable to no one, as former chairman Alan Greenspan has explained:
It comes as little surprise that the offshore bankers who continue to benefit from the looting of the U.S. economy would support Fed secrecy.
Henry Paulson and his fellow
Goldman Sachs executive Neel Kashkari
both ensured that Bernanke and their
banker gangster friends were well looked after
, while Paulson himself
brazenly pocketed $200 million in Goldman Sachs profits
tax free.
All this following Paulson's monumental "bait and switch" when he deceived Congress into passing the bailout bill under the proviso that the $750 billion dollar package would be used to purchase toxic debt, when in fact it was used to bail out failing financial institutions.
A monolithic private corporation and a gaggle of bastard banker children sucking on its teat, have effectively gobbled up trillions plus in taxpayers' money and figuratively stuck the middle finger up regarding questions over where that money has gone.
Quite inconceivably this outright theft has been termed a "rescue", yet it has had no effect whatsoever other than to actually increase the severity of the financial downturn, allowing the same elites to exploit the crisis as a pretext for centralizing control of the world economic system.
Save for Ron Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency bill, America's elected representatives have laid down to the Fed, with the Washington elite even
attempting protecting the Fed
from any real examination.

German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (May 2012)
The German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA (GAHFUSA) is a national non-profit organization that promotes German language, culture, and heritage in the United States and works toward preserving the history of Americans of German ancestry who helped build the United States. It is a national membership organization through which Americans of German heritage and language work together on issues of common concern. The organization supports a number of special projects including the German-American Friendship Garden located on the Mall at Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC, and the care of the grave of Carl Schurz in Tarrytown, New York. The organization's national headquarters are in Washington, DC.
The GAHFUSA is dedicated to preserve, educate, and promote the cultural heritage of Americans of German-speaking ancestry and to be a voice of German-Americans in cultural and public policy debates in the USA. Its goals include:
- Sharing a positive image of Americans of German-speaking heritage by focusing on their historical contributions to American society.
- Strengthening the ethnic awareness and cooperation of German Americans.
- Promoting the German language and culture.
- Cultivating German American friendship and cooperation.
- Supporting cooperative efforts among German-Americans and their organizations.[citation needed]
The organization honors the outstanding contributions of German-speaking Americans through its Distinguished German-American of the Year Award, which is presented at the annual Council of 1000 Award and Fundrasing Gala.
The Foundation works with the White House, government agencies, the German Embassy, and other organizations throughout the United States to elevate recognition for the contributions of Americans of German heritage.
Each year since President Ronald Reagan first declared October 6 German-American Day in 1987, GAHFUSA has petitioned the White House, United States Congress, and state and local governments to issue national and statewide proclamations.
President Ronald Reagan stated on October 6, 1987:
Few people have blended so completely into the multicultural tapestry of American society and yet have made such singular economic, political, social, scientific and cultural contributions to the growth and success of these United States as have Americans of German extraction.[citation needed]
The German-American Heritage Foundation was established as the United German-American Committee of the USA in 1977.
The home of the foundation is Hockemeyer Hall, built 1888 by John Hockemeyer as his townhouse. Hockemeyer was a German immigrant who served in the Union Army in the American Civil War and became a successful merchant. In 1893 he added a two-story addition to create a banquet hall, with the principal floors used by social clubs.
On October 17, 2008, the German-American Heritage Foundation acquired Hockemeyer Hall to establish the first national German-American Heritage Museum of the USA. Through supporters and extensive fundraising, the GAHF was able to renovate the interior and exterior of the old townhouse, which opened in March 2010.
Membership to the German-American Heritage Foundation is open to all Americans of Germanic descent.

"We spent a week at this property with my parents and our two small children. There was plenty of space and overall the whole property felt very luxurious, soothing and comfortable. There was even a super comfy foam mattress we were able to put on the floor for our five year old. We were also pleasantly surprised to find a highchair and pack-and-play crib for our baby - what a nice touch! So helpful for traveling parents! In the evenings we enjoyed the large screen projector and during the day we loved being able to walk to restaurants and shopping. We were there in summer, but I would imagine it would be perfect for skiers - the garage is attached and there's plenty of space to leave your gear. Highly recommend!"Guest: Julie Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 12, 2014View listing
"This condo was perfect for our family vacation of 5. Location, location, location - at a reasonable price we could afford! Right next to any and all shopping, across the street from the Olympic Park, and within minutes of fantastic skiing. The unit was very clean and well equipped. Plenty of room to relax after a long day. The owners were very responsive and worked with us even with a late evening flight - which was greatly appreciated with anxious kids! I would highly recommend this unit."Guest: Turks Date of Stay: March 2014 Review Submitted: July 1, 2014View listing

"My wife and i had a wonderful month long stay at this well appointed residence. The owner has stocked the unit with all the amenities one needs for a short or long stay. Indeed, we lacked for practically nothing, even in the kitchen. The trail to PC is just outside the door and the view from the side patio is straight toward the mountains. The Park City bus system takes you anywhere one needs to go, at no charge. I'd recommend this location to anyone looking for a very comfortable base from which to enjoy Park City. and the surrounding area."Guest: Pat B.

Animation without a musical number? That's only one of this movie's departures from the Disney formula. With a conceptual nod to Jules Verne, dark and dramatic animation and nary a scantily clad princess in sight, "Atlantis" has more in common with "The Iron Giant" than with "The Little Mermaid." In this action-adventure saga, museum cartographer Milo Thatch (voice of Michael J. Fox) joins up with a group of daredevil explorers led by Captain Rourke (James Garner) to complete a quest begun by his late grandfather. He gets more than he bargained for, however, when their submarine is captured by a giant robotic squid and transported to the lost city of Atlantis. Directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale brought us "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," while producer Don Hahn was responsible for "The Lion King."

Neil Lennon feared another Barcelona comeback against Celtic
Thursday 08 November 2012
Neil Lennon admits he feared another Barcelona comeback even when Tony Watt fired Celtic into a two-goal lead with just seven minutes remaining at Parkhead last night.
The Hoops lost 2-1 to an injury-time Jordi Alba goal at the Nou Camp last month after going ahead and last night, as they did in their Champions League Group G encounter in Spain, Barcelona dominated throughout.
However, on this occasion Celtic were able to establish a two-goal lead with midfielder Victor Wanyama heading in a first-half corner before 18-year-old Watt, on for Mikael Lustig to make his debut in the group stages of the competition, raced away to score the second.
And that proved crucial as, while Lionel Messi reduced the deficit with a close-range strike as the enthralling encounter edged into injury-time to ensure a nervy ending, it ultimately proved to be no more than a consolation for the Catalan giants.
However, Lennon told talkSPORT: "Seriously, when Tony Watt scored the second goal in 83 minutes, I turned round to my assistant Johan (Mjallby) and said 'I think we might get a point out of this game'.
"The legs of some players were starting to go a little bit and they (Barca) just wear you down.
"They keep coming and keep coming but it was a remarkable effort.
"We had to dig deep. It meant so much to so many people and it is a boost for Scottish football considering all the negative press we have had over the last six months.
"I told them before the game that this was their moment, make the most of it.
"At the Nou Camp we defended valiantly and came away with nothing and before the game I said, 'don't be gallant losers again, use that as motivation. You know what's coming, know you are going to lose possession and be under pressure, can you see it out this time?'
"To be fair, we got the breaks at the right time.
"I told them to enjoy it because they had done something very special."
Celtic, with seven points from four games, two less than leaders Barca, travel to Benfica later in the month before hosting Spartak Moscow in their final fixture.
Benfica have four points following their home win last night over Spartak, who are bottom of the group with three points.
Lennon said: "At the end of the day we haven't done anything yet, we haven't qualified.
"I said judge us over six games and we have given ourselves a great platform.
"What it means is that Barcelona still have to get something out of the next two games which benefits us.
"They will have to get a point or maybe three out of the two remaining games which is great because they could have had 12 points after last night if they had beaten us and could have chopped and changed in the remaining two games.
"It gives us a foothold to get something at Benfica or against Spartak Moscow in the last game and really, that is all we could have asked for going into this competition."

According to Health.com, humans cannot fully digest corn because it contains the fiber cellulose. The human digestive system cannot completely break down cellulose because it lacks the enzyme to do so, leading to the trouble people often have fully digesting corn.
Health.com notes that humans may have been able to digest corn fully in prehistoric times since they had sharper teeth. Today, corn can still be digested if it is chewed on long enough to break down the cellulose fibers. If not, eating corn can cause abdominal discomfort and gas, and undigested kernels may show up in stool. Chewing corn fully also allows the nutrients in it to be absorbed better.Learn More
In humans, the small intestine is about 20 feet long, and the large intestine is about 5 feet long. Both are situated in the abdomen and form a continuous tube from the stomach to the anus.Full Answer >
Some of the most vital organs of humans are located in the thoracic cavity, including the lungs and the heart. HowStuffWorks explains that when a person inhales, the diaphragm and muscles between the ribs expand the thoracic cavity to reduce the pressure inside the body to a level that is lower than the pressure of the air outside the body. As a result, the lungs pull air through the body's airways.Full Answer >
The colon, or large intestine, is about 5 feet long in humans. The large intestine is the last segment of the digestive system, which is 30 feet in total length.Full Answer >
The spleen serves two major functions in humans. First, it plays an important role in adaptive immunity; groups of B and T lymphocytes reside in the spleen. These white blood cells produce antibodies, fight bacteria and viruses and destroy infected cells. Second, the spleen holds a third of the body's platelets in reserve. If a person suffers an internal hemorrhage, the spleen releases these platelets into the circulation.Full Answer >

A look at the day's political happenings, including a victory for women in the military and why John Boehner thinks President Obama is out to "annihilate" the GOP.
"Saturday Night Live" got into the swing of election season with several political sketches that mocked such happenings as GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's gaffes and Clint Eastwood's much maligned Republican National Convention speech.
White House/Pete Souza
The social media driven effort to get the 90-years-young actress began after Clint Eastwood's awkward, rambling and nonsensical introduction of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention that involved, among other things, the actor and filmmaker speaking to an empty chair.
A look at the day's political happenings, including another possible Paul Ryan lie, and a key battleground state makes a decision that could affect the presidential election's outcome.
As host of her very own MSNBC program, the loquacious Rachel Maddow pretty much always has something to say about the day's issues. But occasionally, even Maddow gets tongue-tied. Like, for example, when she tried to explain actor Clint Eastwood's dialogue with an empty chair at the Republican National Convention.
The 82-year-old actor-director-tough guy gave a bizarre and rambling, sometimes incoherent speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, centered on a mock interview with an imaginary President Obama sitting in a nearby empty chair.
