I am pleased with the efforts of the legislature in its Mid-Biennium Review to address many educational policy concerns and to continue placing a high priority on the education of the girls and boys of Ohio. We still have a lot of work to do to make sure every Ohio student receives a high quality education, but the passage of this legislation ensures that we are directed toward that goal.
Together, these changes provide what many educators around Ohio have been seeking – more options to meet the unique needs of students and additional time to implement all the changes we are making to improve student learning.
The information I am sharing with you today is just a start – we'll review the bill in detail and provide more complete guidance in the coming weeks. In addition to the summary below, every MBR item is listed in this document.
For quicker reading you may also want to look at this summary of key points in the legislation and a one-page graphic overview of Ohio's new graduation requirements that you can also share with parents.
Thank you for all you do for the boys and girls of Ohio.

HILDEN, Germany, and GERMANTOWN, Maryland, November 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
QIAGEN (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt, Prime Standard: QIA) today announced an agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) to develop and commercialize a molecular companion diagnostic paired with a novel Lilly oncology compound. This is the third co-development project by QIAGEN and Lilly to create companion diagnostics, which are tests that analyze genomic information in patient samples to enable personalized decisions on treatments. The latest collaboration, involving an undisclosed Lilly compound and an undisclosed molecular diagnostic target, builds on a master collaboration agreement for development of tailored therapies in cancer and other therapeutic areas signed earlier this year.
QIAGEN and Lilly are long-standing partners in personalized healthcare.

I downloaded the game before reading the review. The review is right on. Yeah, it's cheap, but a crappy game that costs a penny is still a crappy game. Gamesoft obviously thinks gamers are suckers. (Well, there's me.) And Nintendo needs quality control in the Wii Store, or at least a place for user comments.

Amarillo, TX - Two people are in jail after DPS troopers confiscated over two-hundred thousand dollars worth of drugs.
Troopers say Tuesday morning they conducted a traffic stop on I-40 near Conway in Carson County.
Over six pounds of methamphetamine were discovered inside of the vehicle.
21 year old Moses Chacon and 34-year old Glenda Chacon, both from Los Angeles, were placed under arrest for possession of a controlled substance.
The illegal drugs were reportedly being transported from Los Angeles to Kansas City.

Despite all the flak it gets, there won't ever be a comprehensive overview of gaming history that can ignore Night Trap. And that's probably a lot more than the creators of this terribly campy, 90's spoof-horror full-motion-videogame could've expected from it. After all, it sold over one million copies (a lot for the mid-90s), was the first of its kind, and directly contributed to the ESRB rating system the industry still uses today.
Which may be why, twenty years later, the creators of Night Trap feel emboldened enough to ask for $300,000 from their "fantastic community of fans" to re-release this infamous artifact in the hi-res it deserves.
Marketed as the first ever live-action interactive movie, Digital Pictures' Night Trap put you in the shoes of a hero tasked with saving teen girls at a slumber party from pleather-suited vampire creatures. Footage of Night Trap almost invariably includes either a) a screeching co-ed in mom jeans, b) an auger (those hobbling vampire things) plummeting to its smokey demise, or c) a phallic-looking control pole that clamps around said co-ed's neck. It's not hard to imagine how that kind of material might catch the attention of senators who still felt sore about violent comicbooks not getting banned in the 1950's.
And so it did. In 1995, several senate hearings were held on the subject of regulating violent videogames, with Night Trap as a central example of the "shameful," "sick," and "disgusting" games winding up in the hands of innocent children.
There remains no question that a not-so-subtle element of voyeurism fuels Night Trap's—erm—"appeal." The entire FMV consists of the player, referred to only as "control," watching attractive teen girls get kidnapped through a hidden camera. The interactive bit comes in when you must take evasive action to save the co-eds by setting off traps (note: no Star Wars reference even attempted, so it's got that working against it too). But, really, could anyone even take their eyes off that revolting neck clamper long enough to bother trying?
Night Trap probably wouldn't even rate higher than a T (for Teen) today
Yet despite all of this, the intentions behind Night Trap were reportedly innocent enough (if a little misguided). The creators imagined it as a promising experiment in the marriage between two modern mediums. Their sustained belief in its potential remains clear throughout the campaign description. There's an entire paragraph lamenting the squandered, yet still achievable possibility of interactive television as a platform. The campaign urges backers that "the future of gaming, or at least live-action interactive, is in your hands." And honestly, their genuine enthusiasm is almost enough to forget all about how god awful Night Trap actually was.
So, sure, the game might give you a squirmy feeling. For all accounts and purposes, it's still part rape fantasy, part girl-in-the-refrigerator trope. But, in retrospect, all the ruckus over Night Trap's violent and woman-hating ways seems sadly endearing. Oh, if they could only imagine what was to come. With no nudity or gore whatsoever, Night Trap probably wouldn't even rate higher than a T (for Teen) today on the ESRB rating scale that it helped inspire. And doesn't that kind of put our own obscenities into perspective?

Trolls Are Capitalists Too
June 23, 2010 by Mary Adams · Comments Off
My work with Intangible Capital intersects with the field and practice of intellectual property (IP). In conversations about IP, especially in my monthly programs at the Intangible Asset Finance Society, trolls are a frequent topic of discussion. In fact, some colleagues from IAFS and I ran a workshop about modeling IP-intensive businesses at the recent ICAP Ocean Tomo event that talked about the line between a research organization and a troll.
But I have never spoken up about my view. I don't really defend trolls. I see the question in a larger context of the operating assumptions broadly held about business and ownership. Read more
Who is in Charge of IP and IC?
May 7, 2009 by Mary Adams · 5 Comments
I have really enjoyed getting to know Andrew Watson and Jordan Hatcher at ipVA over the last few months. I met with Jordan on my recent trip to London and he sent me a new article that he and Andrew wrote called Fix Your Broken IP Structures from www.managingip.com.
The article makes a case for a position called the Chief Intellectual Property Officer (CIPO) who is outside the legal department. They use color-based Insights Discovery Learning System to look at the personalities of different departments. Legal departments, they assert, are blue (accurate, ordered and cautious), not the red traits that are needed to exploit IP (decisive, risk taking and results driven). This means that the CIPO would need to be in the sales or strategy areas. It's a compelling case. Read more
IP and IC — a strategy or the strategy?
March 10, 2009 by Mary Adams · 1 Comment
I had a really interesting exchange a couple weeks ago on the Tangible IP blog with Andrew Watson and Jordan Hatcher.
The question was: How to define "intellectual property strategy?" By the end, Andrew wrote:
The challenge I see though is that at some point along the scale of how wide the definition is drawn, one ends up almost redefining the business, or needing to turn it upside down to have the impact one wants to have. Few CEOs we know would buy that. So at least for now, we are drawing the box around the bits of intangibles (mainly innovation culture and placing proper systems around how the outputs from that are recognised and protected) that a CEO new to this area can comprehend.
I have been holding myself back on this one. I wasn't going to answer him. Don't want to mess with CEO's. But I couldn't help myself. So here goes:
I know that few CEO's are ready or willing to face the fact. But the truth is that the drivers of almost every business today are intangible knowledge assets (which may or may not have legal protection and become IP). Eventually, we will have to redefine the business.

Digital photography course produces tangible benefits
As part of the Festival of Learning, the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists (SCP) ran a digital photography course in conjunction with Lewisham College, for staff in October 2009. In every day clinical practice podiatrists are increasingly required to take digital photographs of different foot problems for inclusion in patient clinical records.
The photographs are mainly used for monitoring progress of a particular condition or treatment regime and can be called for evidence in ant complaint. Few podiatrists have has any formal training in digital photography and rely on their experience in taking holiday "snaps" to photograph clinical conditions, not always achieving the accuracy required.
The course was run on at site at the SCP offices in London with use of computers provided by the mobile learning centre and 10 embers of staff took advantage of the course. The course entailed
• Choosing a camera – understanding the different features
• Digital accessories
• Taking good photographs
• Composition of photographs
• Advance techniques – aperture, shutter speed, flash, camera adjustments, filters and lenses
• Touching up photographs
• Displaying photographs on line
• Useful software to create and edit photographs
Cameras have been used for a considerable time in specialist clinics, such as hospital diabetes clinics, where they are used to monitor the progress of ulcers among other things. In the past, hospital podiatry departments used to make use of medical illustration but it is very time consuming for the patient and for the podiatrist having to wait for the photographer to come to the department.
It is far more effective for the camera to be accessible at all times and more and more, cameras are being used in community podiatry clinics for a variety of work related purposes. Staff members became more aware of the potential of the cameras and how they could be utilised.
The rational for bidding for funding is that very few podiatrists have been trained in using cameras properly and they usually learn informally through taking holiday snap shots. By providing professional training, staff became aware of the full functionality of the camera and how to make use of the associated computer software.
The course was highly successful and added direct value to the work conducted by staff enabling them to
• document nail surgery progress
• Document wound healing in diabetic clinics
• Assist patients to see progression of their wounds and helped with educating patients
• Judge the progression of a wound from photo evidence rather than written documents,
• Present case studies for staff meetings, clinical supervision and for CPD purposes
• Lead to the discussion around the use of cameras in each separate clinic
Ulf Project Manager, Liz Salem said "Photographs can say more than written records and as clinical photography is becoming more and more a part of everyday podiatric practice, it is important that podiatrists know how to get the best out of the camera to ensure photographs stand up to scrutiny."
The course will be evaluated and areas of further learning and support will be identified. The Society and the Ulf team will consider providing additional, more advanced training and will encourage the development of a support network to share best practice.

There is pretty much nothing worse than sitting at your desk at 10 AM, looking down at your hands, and finding a hangnail (except maybe if this happens at 9 AM). How in the world are you supposed to let that distracting, and yet all-too-familiar, foe just hang out there all day? If you happen to be in an environment where antibacterial soap, olive oil, cuticle scissors and liquid bandages are readily available, you can skip the next few sentences. If not, summon every ounce of patience and self-restraint you can muster, because we received these strict orders from celebrity fashion manicurist Nia Cooper: DO NOT pull it out or bite it. Yes, we preserved her use of all caps for dramatic effect. Put a bandage on the little devil, so you won't be tempted to touch it throughout the rest of the day. Once you get home, follow Cooper's four-step instructions for how to get rid of a hangnail:
Thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap and warm water.
Soak your nail in warm olive oil for 10 minutes to soften the hangnail.
Dip the points of your cuticle scissors in rubbing alcohol. Then cut the hangnail at the base.
After it has been removed, apply a liquid bandage product over the area. They provide an antibiotic and protective seal all in one. Keeping the area covered while it's healing will prevent infection.
Now that the pesky hangnail is gone, make good use of Cooper's prevention tips to keep it from coming back:
Do not bite your nails.
Drink lots of water to prevent dry nails.
Exfoliate your hands every other night, paying close attention to the cuticles, to remove dead skin.
Keep your hands and nails moisturized at all times. (Looking for a new hand cream? We love Lancôme Absolute Hand Treatment during the day because it has SPF 15. At night, we've been turning to The Body Shop Almond Hand & Nail Butter. Remember: keeping your hands moisturized is also important for keeping them looking young.)

When you leave the military, the biggest question is "what's next?" It's a scary job market right now, but the skills you've received in the military make you highly marketable. The Legion sponsors dozens of veterans hiring fairs each year, and our employment experts also provide tips to writing resumes, networking and making a strong impression in the interview process.
The American Legion and RecruitMilitary organized a job fair on Nov. 18 that brought hundreds of veterans to the Indianapolis Museum of Art for career opportunities and employment resources. Companies and organizations from around the country set up booths and sent representatives to the event, giving attendees a chance to network with potential employers and preferential access to certain jobs.
Present at the fair were Prudential Financial, DeVry University, Amazon, National College, Comcast and Service Express, Inc. Government organizations, such as the CIA, were also in attendance.
Event organizers were pleased with the turnout.
"We've done, since 2006, about 300 of these, for the most part in every part of the country," said John Lundberg, RecruitMilitary's director of events. "The response we get is always very positive. It's a good thing."
Companies present at the event, which was free of cost, were looking for employees on the local, regional and even national levels. Attendees weren't offered jobs on the spot, but the process of being hired began at the fair, which was attended by veterans as young as ones from the current War on Terror and as old as the Vietnam era.
Still, the goal of the career fair isn't just to find people jobs, explains Army First Lt. Craig Cooley, who was there representing the Indiana Transition Assistance program.
"A veteran who is looking for a job or who has found themselves in a financial bind sometimes doesn't realize there are other benefits out there that they might be eligible for," Cooley said. "We kind of help push them toward them."
As an advisor for the state's Transition Assistance program, Cooley was representing one of the organizations at the event that wasn't looking to hire veterans. Also attending the event were individuals like Cooley, who were presenting education options and offering veterans career advice.
"There is stuff out there that might not be a job right now, but it might be vocational rehabilitation with the VA or it might be going back to school and utilizing GI Bill benefits," Cooley said. "I give them my phone number and tell them to give me a call."
The event is one of about 60 career fairs that the Legion and RecruitMilitary hold each year in various locations throughout the country.
Lundberg said they're the product of a fitting and natural partnership.
"It's a great partnership," he said. "It obviously makes sense. We're both servicing military veterans and trying to help them in any way we can."
With homelessness and unemployment among veterans at alarmingly high levels, the career fairs provide invaluable resources.
"We formed because there was a need for veterans to know where the best employment opportunities were when they got out of the military," Lundberg said. "We found that veterans were separating and just kind of going home. Sometimes home isn't where the best opportunities are. That's why we view our events as outreach efforts to point people in the right direction.
"I know when I retired 12 years ago out of the Marine Corps, events like these didn't even exist. It's a thing that we've seen as being real positive for the military veterans."

(from email) Grab yourselves by the cubes and man up motherfuckers:
It is now a week after Cal, our warmup game that went Appy State on us. Since early January each of you have worked hard to be ready for the games. In fact, across the country, coaches, players, and teams have been preparing to do their best to win. There is a difference with you though, All throughout the spring and the summer, we have not heard much about the Volunteers from the pundits.
Those of us who have a deep understanding of Tennessee football know it as "flying under the radar". In fact we see that expression about UT football from time to time in news stories and web postings and on the television. You are overlooked and underappreciated as a force in college football. It has been that way before at UT. But never for very long. AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN THAT WAY WITH COACHES FULMER, CHAVIS, and CUTCLIFFE. The record of this combination of coaches speaks for itself. In addition, our other assistant coaches show outstanding leadership, hard work and effort, and the mentoring ability that each of you young men on the team needs to have a chance at success. I am as proud of the coaches as you are.
As I listened to ESPN Game Day on Saturday, I became angrier and angrier. Not a mean anger but a righteous anger. An anger that said that no longer will the Vol Nation stand by and allow this great collection of coaches, managers, and players be snubbed again. And then I realized the source of my frustration. This group has marketed against UT whenever they are given any opportunity. The commercial with the pig coming off of the elevator, the comment about Tennessee trailer trash, Corso's sometimes inane rambling and sometimes mean spirited comments, and many other examples of disrespect for the fine people of Tennessee and their football team. While they and others discuss games, it is interesting that it is always Tennessee that seems to be the key team to get past. Why don't they talk about Tennessee and the key games we need "to get past"?
I have listened to the people who pick Southern Miss to win (most do) based upon the lie that somehow there is something wrong with our football team. Defensive backs, receivers, offensive line, defensive line! Why, to listen to them you would think that no one grows a year older, stronger, and more experienced at UT. I ask that each of you, from the head coach all the way to the players, dedicate the focus this week to one goal. That is to dominate the Southern Miss football team and to leave no doubt that Tennessee is back. It will be natural when going on to the battle field to be nervous and apprehensive. Forget about personal goals and internal fears and put your team first. For this game, replace that nervous energy with the cold steel of determination that each of you has within you. It is not just the other team you are playing against. It is a disrespectful group of pundits who want to hold you back.
Decide beforehand that you will play fast, hard, smart, and controlled. Look out for each other. Put the rest of the team first this week. Demonstrate the leadership that comes from being a servant to each other. I read some comments from you players that the freshmen have brought energy and excitement to your practices. That is wonderful! As the Bible says "And a child shall lead them!" But, I have also watched the seniors and juniors on this team and I am convinced that they, too are Tennessee Leaders. We have the ability to do whatever is needed to win the game.
As you move through the season, You will hear that Florida hasn't lost at home since Meyer took over. What an opportunity to take that away. By the way, put a little extra in your first hit for the young lady, your college mate, who dressed up for game day to show you support and then was urinated on by an older Florida fan and stood there crying over the ultimate disrespect that can be shown a lady. When Arkansas State comes in, put more heat on. You only get to play it once! Make it count. Georgia is coming to town and we have been informed ad nauseum about the "hob nailed boot" and that Georgia owns us in Knoxville . Well, does that mean this team has to accept that drivel? That is one team we need to put back in there place. We have former Tennessee coaches at Mississippi State so I am concerned about them. With Coach Croom in charge, they will play well and with good sportsmanship. We must be ready because they have also been picked to upset you.
And then on to Tuscaloosa . Somewhere along the line, because they got a new coach, they are all of a sudden being handed a free pass to the upper echelon of football without earning it. And by the way, your earned pass is nowhere to be found. That is ok. I like it that way. I hope you do. Don't forget, your head coach who has nurtured your career and treats you as his boys, looks out for you, and who helps you learn about life, has been viciously and unfairly attacked over there for insisting on fair play. Again, the national press has played that card and will play it again. But Coach Fulmer never would and never will. If it were my head coach, I wouldn't be worried too much about how I might play. I think I would be consumed with making that state pay through their football team for those slanderous, vicious attacks. By the way, Steve Spurrier also called out Alabama . He even said so in the press. There was nothing negative said about him! When we are done with Alabama , let's invite coach Spurrier and the South Carolina team up to Rocky Top for a ball game. The old ball coach has decided that he can beat us. Last year, he told his team to keep it close until the fourth quarter and he would out-coach us to the win. He is a good coach and a decent person. We just need to teach him that he can't get away with comments like that. I don't even need to go into the Arkansas game. You know what you owe yourself, your coaches, and the state of Tennessee for last year. The Louisiana team isn't the one from Baton Rouge (though we may get to play against them a little later) and the comments about Arkansas State ring true here also. In one preseason magazine, Vanderbilt was picked to beat Tennessee. They have improved. Boy, am I afraid. What disrespect they show you in these magazines! Finally, the end of the regular season. Kentucky 's quarterback is better than yours. If you don't believe it just read the press. Geez, I don't guess Coach Cutcliffe has it any more when it comes to preparing quarterbacks. And I suppose it must be true that Erik is a question mark. What do you think? Tell them to bring it on.
If you listen to your coaches and play for your teammates and the great state of Tennessee ALL SEASON and EVERY GAME we will welcome you to Atlanta . So until you step foot on the field for the SEC championship you will be predicted to fail. It happens every time. It won't matter that you have a better record, that records have fallen, that you have done it the right way, that there are redemptive story lines on your team, too. It will be all about the trials and tribulations of the other team and how they should win. Take a quick minute to look over the pre-season magazines and predictions. They want you to believe that somehow, you aren't quite fast enough, strong enough, and tough enough to get there. If I were you, that would make me FURIOUS enough to be able to get there and win. After you demonstrate that you are no longer going to take it from these experts and as you prepare for the national championship against the "team of the century" (No kidding, they already called one team that") and you are under rated again, don't think of yourself. Think of your teammates, your coaches, the VOL NATION, and all of those Volunteers who went before you as you prepare yourself to fight the battle that all of the teams I mentioned want to be in. Think of all the great teams and proud traditions at your great university. And relish the underdog role. It is always more fun to be the one that everyone counts out. And then make them pay until they wish they hadn't made it to the game.
Being a coach or player at Tennessee is a little different than any other place in college football. Everyone looks to the state university and the football team as a place to rally to in times of trouble. It began when our grandfather's were young men through the depression and the wars and has grown ever since. For those of us who grew up with little, PARTICIPATING in UT football and all that means from the Appalachians to the Mississippi River , was and is life changing. Those feelings run deep into the soul of a Tennessee fan. Last year was step one on our way back. This year, you have what it takes to take us the rest of the way. So as you prepare, get determined and have the righteous anger to overcome any temporary setbacks thrown the team's way, support each other, and we will be there with you every step of the way.
One more thing, as you work your way through the season with the chip on your shoulder you so richly deserve, be good sports. Not only do champions act that way, ESPN and the rest of the "experts" will be looking to besmirch the image of this wonderful thing called the University of Tennessee football team. As you have heard before, act like you have been there before! We know you will.
You have earned the right to be there. Make every practice and game count. Put on your helmets, tighten your chinstraps, take the challenge, and hit somebody.
And remember as you go- Rocky Top! You'll always be — home sweet home to me!! It's great to be a Tennessee Vol! We will all be there for you! Good luck and God Speed.

Traffic feels like this magic thing that, once attained, makes you invincible… you can run and jump and write and create and everything just gets better.
You guys love to learn about traffic. You seem to have an insatiable craving for getting more people to your site.
I've been there too, hungry for some tactic, some secret headline formula or keyword trick that brings all the people to my doorstep to see how brilliant and charming and wonderful I am. (all very true, ask my mom).
I'm sure you've come across a bunch of those list posts about how to get more eyeballs on your page. Maybe you've even written one.
But there's a fundamental problem here. There's a disconnect between WHY sites are successful and HOW they got successful. It seems to be baked into our human nature to focus on the HOW — the tactics of growing traffic.
And so we read one of these posts, we try the stuff, we optimize the things and shake down the gizmos and email the editors and script the scripts and what happens? Let's talk about that part.
Over the last few months several of you recorded audio questions and submitted them for us to answer on the air. (submit your own question). We grouped the traffic ones all together and answer them in this episode.
- Some are wondering about which tactics are most important. It's overwhelming to balance newsletters, SEO, content marketing, social media, etc.
- Some are wondering about how much traffic is needed to produce some livable money from Amazon Affiliate commissions.
- Some are wondering about the bare necessities, the basics, the building blocks.
- Some are wondering about other stuff. (we put in a few bonus questions at the end)
If you just want a lot of traffic, simply write this post: 142 Cats Dressed Up Like Disney Princesses.
But if you want to figure out how to build something meaningful, to grow an engaged audience around that thing, invest in the long-haul, support yourself and your family… listen to this episode. Continue reading Rethinking How To Get More Traffic (FS022)

Parents of children at Eccleston Elementary School in Orlando have been voicing their frustrations about traffic conditions at pick-up time that they say are chaotic and hazardous.
Well before school gets out, cars began lining up and down the narrow streets, turning the neighborhood into a parking lot. Priscilla Prioleau, who was there to pick up her 5-year-old grandchild, was frustrated the disorder, saying that other parents make up their own rules and park anywhere.
"This line is here for a reason, but they want to park over there, over there, and then they want to butt in," Prioleau said.
People like Beverly Carter, a daycare worker waiting in line to pick up kids, said that the conditions are also potentially dangerous for children who need to walk home.
"We've been in line for two hours, kids running across the street about to get hit. Nobody guiding them or anything – it's ridiculous," Carter said.
One police officer did show up to direct traffic, but many parents said this was the first day they'd seen him there.
The school's parking lot is still under construction, which parents said should have been completed before the school year began. The parking lot will serve as the car port and alleviate some of the traffic conditions, but that won't be until sometime in mid-October.
"If they had started or could have started earlier where it would be a way out and a way in, it wouldn't cause so much congestion," said Eva Nelson as she waited in line to pick up her grandchild. "Traffic jam always. This way, that way, people cutting in, children walking in front of cars."
A school board spokesperson said that the project could not have been done over the summer because of the demolition and asphalt processes. The school is also encouraging parents to allow their children to walk home – if they live close enough – to help ease the traffic situation until the parking lot is complete.

CANTON - What was good enough to capture the Section 10 Class C title last season was good enough to claim the 2013 Class B crown for the Canton Central girls soccer team.
We have gotten progressively better since the start of the season and we talk a lot about peaking at the right time. We have definitely been playing our best soccer the second half of the season and we played very well tonight, said coach Greg Kiah after the Lady Bears outlasted defending champion Potsdam Central 2-1 in overtime at the SUNY Canton turf field Monday evening.
The Lady Bears improved to 14-4 overall with the win and will now get set to take on Section 7 champion Saranac Central in the first round of the NYSPHSAA Class B tournament on Wednesday at the SUNY Canton turf starting at 6:45 p.m.
We lost 1-0 to AuSable Valley last year as the Class C champion. We have a lot of players back and we learned a lot from that game, noted Kiah. The past three years, weve played in a pre-season tournament in Saranac but we didnt this year. Its interesting that were going to wind up playing up there for states.
In downing the Lady Sandstoners on Monday, the Lady Bears overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit by striking for a goal early in the second half then producing the game-winner with time winding down in the first 10-minute overtime session.
Defense dictated the early stages of the game as neither team generated a shot on goal until Canton found the mark in the 13th minute leading to a routine save by Potsdam junior Bre Sapp, who finished with 11 saves on the night. The Lady Sandstoners didnt manage their first shot of the game until the 34th minute but they made the most of it as senior Ally Miller chased down a lead pass toward the right wing from the center of the field by classmate Annette Rishe then pumped the ball into the back of the net from 10 yards out with a Canton defender closing in to put her team on the board with 6:16 left in the first half.
After a five-minute halftime break, the Lady Bears wasted little time producing the equalizer. Lindsay Proulx keyed the scoring sequence by dropping a corner kick from the right into the top of the penalty area. Several failed clearing attempts later, the ball wound up on the foot of Lauren Smith at the right side of the goal and she quickly rolled a low shot just inside the left post to tie the game 1:31 into the half.
The Lady Bears went on to outshoot Potsdam 7-1 in the second half but the teams were knotted at 1-1 at the end of regulation. The Lady Sandstoners managed the first shot of the first 10-minute overtime and had a chance late in the session but a corner kick from the left by Miller bounced across the penalty area and wound up on the foot of a Canton defender in the right corner. The Lady Bears quickly moved the ball down the wing and sent it deep into the Potsdam zone where a clearing attempt was intercepted by Emma Collins on the Canton side of midfield. Collins wasted no time sending the ball ahead toward the right. Teammate Tory Daly outraced the Potsdam defense and went in to score a breakaway goal from just inside the penalty area with 22 seconds left.
The Lady Sandstoners stepped up the offensive pressure for the majority of the second overtime but Canton netminder Katie Clemmer, who handled a total of five shots, came up with her final two saves of the game to preserve the win.
We split our games with Canton this year and both ended up being one-nothing so we knew this was going to be the same type of game, noted coach Joe Stark after his squad closed out the season at 13-3-2 overall. This wasnt one of those game where we lost because of poor play. I thought we played very well. We just have a couple of situations where we were a bounce away or two away from making the play and Canton was able to capitalize.
Overall, we had a very successful season. We won the Central Division which is always a tough thing to do. Our girls played hard the entire season and they played hard for 100 minutes tonight and thats really all you can ask for as a coach, he added.
Also closing out their varsity soccer careers at Potsdam on Monday along with Miller and Rishe were sweeper Haley Clark along with midfielders Ashley Anderson, Abby Gruneisen and Jenny Tardelli.
In the Section 10 Class B boys soccer final that followed the girls game at SUNY Canton on Monday, Canton completed a sweep of the Central Division regular season champions by blanking OFA 2-0.
Sophomore Josh Huiatt connected for the eventual game-winner off an assist from senior Shawn Rodee in the 12th minute of the first half and sophomore Jake Facey finished off a play set up by Matt Mende 18 minutes into the second to spark the Bears (14-3-1) past the Blue Devils (12-3-2).
Scott Wight stood tall working the Canton crease for 12 saves while Jacob Sias fielded three shots in the losing cause.
The Bears draw a bye for the opening round of the state playoffs. They will now get set to take on the winner of a game on Wednesday between Section 2 champion Ichabod Crane and Section 7 champion Beekmantown on Friday at the SUNY Canton turf starting at 6:45 p.m.
In the Section 10 Class D girls soccer semi-finals at Potsdam Central on Monday, the top two seeds advanced in convincing fashion as Chateaugay stopped Lisbon 3-0 and Heuvelton beat Hermon-DeKalb 4-0.
The Class D final is slated for Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Potsdam Central turf field.

The Wonder Years' Dan "Soupy" Campbell speaks out on Ferguson, MO
September 1, 2014 by Tyler Sharp
Last night at their show in Pittsburgh, PA, the Wonder Years frontman Dan "Soupy" Campbell took the time in between songs to speak out about the recent happenings in Ferguson, MO. While the audio is spotty at times, you can watch a fan-captured video of the vocalist making his statement below.
In case you missed them, both Stray From The Path and Modern Life As War frontman Jeffrey Eaton weighed in on the situation in Ferguson by releasing separate statements. Additionally, Anti-Flag have re-recorded their song, "Police Story," with 100 percent of the proceeds from the track going directly towards the Michael Brown Jr. Memorial Fund.


text: I'm DMing a game using the Essentials rules/books. I see in the Fighter Knight class a power (Defender Aura) that mentions a Marked Enemy. I've also heard on the PennyArcade/PVP podcasts this marking thing as well. I can not find in the Essentials books where it discusses who can mark and when. Can someone point me to the right Essentials book/page or power? I would also be interested in hearing about Marking in general (who and when) but would really like to see the reference in the books.

Papal condolences for Mexican hurricane victims
Catholic World News - September 19, 2013
Pope Francis has conveyed his sympathies to the Mexican victims of Hurricane Ingrid.
In a message to Cardinal Francisco José Robles Ortega of Guadalajara, the president of the Mexican bishops' conference, the Pope promised "fervent prayers for the eternal repose of the deceased" in the wake of a storm that claimed more than 55 lives and left over 8,000 people homeless. The Pope's message—sent in the form of a telegram from the Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone—offered condolences to the families of the victims and to those injured by the storm.

SEATTLE (AP) - Something new is on the menu at a renovated
Starbucks in Seattle: beer and wine.
The store that reopened Monday is the first under the Starbucks brand to offer alcohol.
Craft beer and local wines go on sale after 4 p.m. The idea is to offer drinks and a wider variety of savory food that will attract customers after the morning espresso rush.
The store closed in July for the renovation, which also includes a circular coffee bar that brings customers closer to the baristas.
The Olive Way store is one of Starbucks Corp.'s percolators for ideas that could someday spread to the Seattle-based chain's other locations. Company officials have declined to say how soon elements
from the shop might appear elsewhere.

In times of fear and uncertainty"If life be harder, love makes it also stronger, and only this love, grounded on suffering, can carry the Cross of my Lord Jesus Christ. Love without egotism, without relying on self, but enkindling in the depth of the heart an ardent thirst to love and suffer for all those around us: a thirst that neither misfortune nor contempt can extinguish... I believe, O Lord; but strengthen my faith..."
--attributed to Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.
In gratitude"The principle of giveaway is to always have your hands open to a gift. Either you're giving it or you're receiving it with the possibility of giving it again. If someone hands you a gift, you never put your fingers around it. ..Hold it in an open hand to look at it. As you look at it, you wonder if it should rest with you or if it should rest with someone else...You have been listening and you know the needs of many, so that gift may come to you with the sure message that it is to be passed on. That's a spiritual understanding of recycling."
--Sister Mary José Hobday, O.S.F., from Simple Living
For those facing terminal illness"What a blessing it is to have things clear with no need to make a lot of difficult decisions. God has manifested in me my my good health…Now God wants to manifest in even my terminal illness and this is great, too. What I really want is to become the Flow of the Spirit. My desire is to enter fully into the movement of Reality. No scenarios about what's to come. Just live the Now."
--from a letter by Hando S.J. (Tom Hand). Fr. Hand, who died in 2005, was among the first group of California Province Jesuits assigned to found Hiroshima Gakuin School in the ruins of that bombed city.
In times of doubtIf Jesus lies asleep with the waves slappingand a storm wind up—as calm as can be,his head on some coiled rope—it's so I can see,O me of little faith, just who is napping.It's not God, in whom Jesus snuggles now,though I'm frantic, sure we will all go down."How could you doubt?" he asks with a hurt frownwhen forced awake by the faintheart at the prow.As if my voice had never lifted a psalmtelling in whom I confide, or in pitch darkmy feet hadn't done the trust walk at allwhere the spirit says to the pulse, "Du calme!"Or my eyes hadn't ever lit with the sparkOf the love that holds wind and sea in thrall.
--James Torrens, S.J., from Uphill Running: A Jesuit Life
In celebration of God's love
Nothing is more practicalthan finding God,that is,than falling in lovein a quite absolute,final way.
What you are in love with,what seizes your imagination,will affect everything.
It will decidewhat will get you out ofbed in the morning,what you will dowith your evenings,how you spendyour weekend,what you read,what you know,what breaks your heart,and what amazes youwith joy and gratitude.
Fall in love,stay in love,and it will decide everything.
--Pedro Arrupe, S.J., Superior General of the Society of Jesus, 1965-1983
For peaceO God we pray for new awareness of the battlefield within usnew ways of challenging aggressive instinctsnew thought patterns, language and ideasnew appreciation of the world as one communitynew methods of dialogue and negotiationnew attempts to befriend those different from ourselvesnew readiness to forgive and reconcile,new visions, new love new hope....and a new faith that the peace that passes all understanding can reach out from within us to embrace the world.
--Kate Compston, from Beyond our Tears
For Earth Day"The world is round so that friendship may encircle it."
--Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.
For Father's DayHow difficult it must have been, standing in, as every fathermust sometimes feel. But where else did your son findhis courage and sense of outrage against injustice,how did he become the man he was, if not for you?…You seemlike so many other fathers, who have watched overtheir families, not knowing what the right words were,but willing to be there for them, up to the very end. Be with them now,as you have been for countless others. Give them strength.
--Paul Mariani, S.J., from Shadow of the Father, a poem to St. Joseph
For Mary's guidance
Holy Mary, Mother of God, you have given the world its true light, Jesus, your Son--the Son of God.You abandoned yourself completelyto God's calland thus became a wellspringof the goodness which flows forth from him.Show us Jesus. Lead us to him.Teach us to know and love him,so that we too can becomecapable of true loveand be fountains of living waterin the midst of a thirsting world.
--from the encyclical letter Deus Caritas Est of Pope Benedict XVI, Dec. 25, 2005
For forgiveness (can be adapted for a baptism)O Lord,One tiny bit of water rests on the palm of my hand.I bring it to you and with it I bring the whole ocean.This tiny drop has the power to ease the burning thirst of men;when spread on the earth, to give life to the seed and the future harvest;when poured on the fire to quench the blaze.A tiny drop of watercan cleanse the whole of my impurity when blessed by your forgiveness.
But, O Lord,more than all this, this tiny drop of water passed over my headis the symbol of my birth in You.
--Sr. Ishpriya, R.S.C.J.
For understandingIt helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision.We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us.No statement says all that could be said.No prayer fully expresses our faith.No confession brings perfection.No pastoral visit brings wholeness.No program accomplishes the Church's mission.No set of goals and objectives includes everything.This is what we are about.We plant the seeds that one day will grow.We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.We lay foundations that will need further development.We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest.We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.We are prophets of a future not our own.
-- Oscar A. Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, who was assassinated in 1980
For an open heartO God, come to our assistance.O God, make haste to help us.Glory to the One in Three as it was in the beginning,Is now and evermore shall be.
The evening creeps in.The shadows fall.Now falls away the hours of toil.Now falls away the hectic pace.Now falls away the day's dissent.Now falls away the discontent.The evening envelops.The darkness falls.The day is past, let go regrets.This night is now, enter in.The hearth is lit; it casts a glow.Kindle the heart from sparks below.
O God, let me calm down so that I might ease into the quiet of this night.
--from Evening Prayers, worship for the St. Barnabas Women's Retreat, Castle Rock, Ariz., March 2002

Study on the impact of EU policies and the measures undertaken in their framework on tourism Publicerat den: 12/10/2012, Senaste uppdatering: 06/06/2014
- Utfärdat av:
- RPA for DG Enterprise and Industry.
This study examines the impact of different EU policies, and their legislative and non-legislative initiatives, on tourism and its competitiveness (Volume 1).
The study also includes a separate guide to EU financial instruments, for stakeholders within the sector to identify and access funding (volume 2).
Better mainstreaming tourism into other EU policies and raising awareness on the impacts that those policies can have on the tourism sector could contribute to releasing the sector's full competitive potential, by ensuring that the interest and needs of the tourism industry are fully taken into account when formulating and implementing these policies.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnett police have ruled a shooting death accidental and have charged a 16-year-old boy with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly discharging the weapon.The victim, Kristen Ivory Hannon, 17, of Lawrenceville, was shot once in the chest about 6:30 p.m. Friday at a residence at 259 Hardy Lillies Drive. Medics administered CPR to Hannon on scene, but she was pronounced dead shortly after at Gwinnett Medical Center. The boy accused of discharging the weapon could face other gun-related charges in addition to involuntary manslaughter, said Gwinnett County Police Department spokeswoman Illana Spellman. Police have possession of the weapon but have yet to determined its caliber, she said. The boy remains in police custody. "The juvenile male was playing with the gun and handled the weapon in very careless manner, which resulted in (Hannon) being shot," Spellman said. "Apparently, no adults were present and (Hannon), along with several other juveniles, were visiting the male juvenile at the time of the shooting." The shooting - and subsequent throng of police investigators - in Lawrenceville's Springlake Falls community startled residents in what they said Friday is a normally peaceful area. Police have yet to determine how the 16-year-old obtained the weapon, Spellman said.

Wait, isn't a torrent risky in that it still requires you to download an EXE file? I have virus protection, but I still fear those kinds of files. Maybe if I had a Mac it would be different, since very few virus are made for Macs.

Ostriches are very beefy birds with high commercial value. Every part of ostrich production is profitable- from the meat, eggs, chicks, oils, plumes and hides to the whole ostrich. The white feathers of the male, which are large and soft, are the ostrich plumes of commercial value. Ostrich meat is low in fat and cholesterol is increasingly recommended by nutritionists, especially for the elderly and people living with chronic diseases that require modified diets. Top class hotels also pay well for these top class meat specie.
The world is now switching to ostrich and emu as they are the livestock of the future. This is partly because the birds are far more prolific and easier to raise than other livestock particularly cattle. In fact, many cattle ranches are now being converted to ostrich farms. Ostrich skin is the world's finest leather and therefore most expensive, you can obtain about 14 square feet of leather from each 14 months old bird with a total of about $400 to $500 (more than N50, 000.00). This is apart from the carcass value, the eggs, oil and other benefits. Ostrich and Emu oils are used in the cosmetic industry and ongoing research would reveal more uses. As a matter of fact both oils were used successfully in the treatment of skin Cancer in South Africa.
Here in Nigeria, a good number of farms are beginning to rear ostriches, especially in the northern parts of the country. It is however expected that livestock farmers in the southern parts would fare better with ostrich farming than they have done so far with cow rearing. This is because cow markets have been overtaken by cartels that make sales difficult for those outside their ring to sell. For now, breeding stocks are still being developed and experts say that a modest ostrich farm can be set up with a little over a million Naira.
In the mid nineties, an ostrich chick went for between N40, 000.00 to N50, 000.00. Today, it goes for about half that price. Why would anyone spend that much on a single ostrich chick whereas it is cheap to set up a poultry farm, a piggery, snailery, rabbitery, fish farm, or even raise better known livestock like goats, sheep, or cattle? Ostrich rearing would yield much more for the discerning investor and for a longer period of time! The following statistics will make an even more compelling case for this niche area:
Your ostrich may outlive you! It can live for up to 100 (one hundred) years and can remain productive i.e. laying eggs for up to 45 years. The Ostrich hen can lay between 30 – 100 eggs per year with an average of 45 – 50 eggs. With a very conservative estimate, you can get a 50% survival rate obtaining at least 20 chicks per hen per year. Chicks will attain slaughter age within 14 months. At this age each bird will yield about 56 KG of meat or a total of 1120 Kg of meat per year per hen. While goat or sheep will yield not more than 50 Kg per year, the Cow will yield only 200 Kg per 2 years (gestation period of 9 months plus optimal slaughter age of 15 months). Yearlings go for at least N80, 000.00 while cost of breeders starts from at last NI50, 000.00.
Facilities and Equipment: The following facilities are required to run a standard ostrich farm.
Requirements: You will need a fairly large farmland as each Ostrich family comprising of the male and 1-4 females will require ½ an acre space. Within the space, you would develop fenced pens for breeding, brooding, chicks grow out and isolation pens. You should also have reliable source of water supply. Proximity to a river or stream or any permanent source of water is an added advantage.
You would also need an incubator for hatching the eggs. You may also make use of commercial hatcheries but this may be too risky for you as they may not be as attentive or even as honest as you would expect. So, wherever possible, it is better to acquire your own incubator. Some local fabricators are beginning to develop effective and affordable incubators. They may look crude but they work just fine.
Feed: Ostriches are not difficult to rise. In the wilds they feed on grass and insects. However, in a capture situation where the birds are being reared for profit, they should be given nutritious feed. Good quality poultry feed and leguminous grass would serve well.
Breeding Environment: The birds are highly adaptable and can survive in all parts of the country. They can adapt to all climatic conditions and terrain. Ostriches are raised in the coldest parts of the United States and Europe as well as in temperatures as high as 1000F and in desert terrains of Israel and South Africa. The Ostrich will do just fine in the desert fringes of Sokoto, Kano and Maiduguri as well as the swamps of Port Harcourt, Lagos and Calabar.

Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm (Holiday Gift Idea)
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Tuesday, November 26th, 2013 at 12:58 pm.
Looking for a unique DIY holiday gift idea this holiday season? Consider making some homemade peppermint lip balm using just a few natural ingredients. It's so easy you'll never want to buy store-bought again! The shea butter is super soothing for dry lips especially when paired with peppermint essential oil. This recipe makes about five one inch sized circular tins, so you'll want to adjust up from there depending on how many you'd like to make. These containers are Wilton brand small party favor tins, but you could recycle Altoid mint tins or reuse lip balm tubes (if making for yourself). You could also buy Lip Balm tubes like the ones here.
Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm
* 1 and 1/2 Tablespoon Natural Beeswax
* 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
* 1 Tablespoon Shea Butter
* 2 Tablespoon Sweet Almond Oil (or Olive Oil)
* 20 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
* Small metal tins with lids (Wilton small party favor kit tins are shown)
Bring water in a small pot to a boil on the stove.
In a glass dish or Pyrex cup, mix beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and sweet almond oil. Place the glass dish or cup inside the pot of boiling water and melt ingredients while stirring. A bamboo chop stick makes a great tool for stirring this.
Remove from heat and use about 20 drops of the peppermint essential oil and stir.
Pour into containers right away.
Wait 24 hours for the lip balm to set before using.
These adhesive labels came with my tins and I used a red sharpie to color them like a peppermint candy.
You'll love the smooth texture and wonderful scent! Such a great gift too :) Thanks to Revived Kitchen for the inspiration!

while I'm sure they are not as sturdy as the cases you used for this project, I have seen in the wedding section at the dollar tree a similar style container. LOve this idea!
Thanks! Do you have a price for this (either per container or total for all ingredients)? Hip2savers love to know these things! Awesome idea.
This looks so cool! Does anyone know how many one batch makes?
You could also sub the peppermint oil for lavender and use it as cuticle cream. Possibilities are endless. Thanks!!
How much water do we use when putting it to boil? I don't want to add to much water and then have it watery:/ let me know please (:
This is such a great idea. I have been wanting to make something other than desserts for Christmas.
Does anyone know how much water to use? I don't want to add to much water when putting it to boil and then it becomes watery… Help please(:?
Can you tell me the ounce size of the containers?
I just want to add, please be sure to use pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. Most oils on the market say pure essential oil; however, they are perfume grade. The fillers that are used in them can be toxic and do more damage than good. You get what you pay for when it comes to EOs. If it says aromatic, it's not what you want. Pure, therapeutic grade EOs. Do a little research before you buy.
Thanks for your help on this. Didn't know they needed to be pure EOs. I appreciate your info.
These look awesome! I know it's something most people don't think about, but if you make these or other homemade goods that have EO and food products in them, please consider adding a little label with the ingredents. I know I would use this if given to me assuming it was just wax and peppermint, but then I'd have a bad allergic reaction, because I'm allergic to almonds and coconuts. People are allergic to all kinds of things you would never think of and it's a huge help if we don't have to ask! Plus, something like this I would want to pass on to someone that can use it – rather than see it wasted.
Where did you find the oils, shea butter and essential oil? Not sure if they sell them at the grocery store or Michael's or a specialty store.
If I am allergic to coconut is there something else that could be used to substitute for coconut oil?
Is the Shea butter a solid or like thick lotion? I found both at Hobby lobby and another craft store and don't know which one to use. I found both in the soap making section of the craft store. Is that correct?
I'm allergic to beeswax :(
Any ideas for a substitute? Thanks!
I found soy wax, carnauba wax or candelilla wax can be used as a vegan sub for the beeswax. There are a number of online suppliers available. Hope this helps. I know I'm allergic to so much in cosmetics it is hard to find slternatives. Thsnk goodness for coconut oil!
Do you have to sanitize your containers before filling them with lip balm
Love your recipe! Thanks for sharing! I tried vitamin e oil in place of almond and loved it too!
Can you put up a picture what the coconut oil looks like? where did you buy it? Also, where do you get the Shea Butter from?
I was wondering if you can put this lip balm in tubes instead of the metal tons? Thank you! Looks like a beautiful recipe!
Any chance I would be able to add cocoa to this recipe and make it peppermint/cocoa lip balm?
Could you use lip balm tubes instead of pots for this recipe? I can't find the right size pots anywhere but I did order some tubes . . .
I have totally gone off the charts over peppermint essential oil this year. I just did not realize I was craving more than just a piece of candy! I now have shampoo, sugar scrubs, and now I will try this! Crazy for peppermint!
Can you use small glass containers with lids in lieu of metal. I have very small round purse-size clear containers.

BMW Shows Off iPad Seat Cradles
Looks like BMW is leading the way into real in-car entertainment and information access with their newly announced iPad seat cradles.
It used to be that if you wanted on board movies you'd have to pay a ridiculous premium for mostly outdated and user unfriendly glorified DVD players that are stuck to your car seats. Or maybe balance a laptop on your, well, lap.
But the iPad dock in the photos provided by BMW looks perfectly designed into the front passenger or driver's seat headrest, and it can be rotated and used either in portrait or landscape mode.
Can the BMW dock charge your iPod as you drive? We don't know. And it's probably not connected to your car's audio system, but BMW has also announced an iPhone dock, complete with a BMW link application which lets your Apple smartphone make friends with the car's stereos, Bluetooth phone and navigation systems.

I thought this was a very tasty weeknight dish.....I added a TBSP of peanut butter. Sauce would be good on chicken or grilled shrimp as well.flag if inappropriate
I thought the sauce was quite boring. I even added extra red curry in an attempt to make it a little more interesting. The peanuts were overpowering.flag if inappropriate
That sauce had a wonderful tang, even though I was missing both peanuts and curry paste. I substituted peanut butter and Sharwood's hot curry powder. Wonderful on the Cumin Herb Rice Pilaf as well. Will make sure to follow the recipe next time, because there will definitely be a next time.flag if inappropriate
