Doug passed away unexpectedly November 4, 2011 of cardiac and respiratory problems at a hospital in Morelia, Mexico, near the city he called his home, Patzcuaro, Mexico with his sisters by his side. Anyone that knew Doug knew he was an intelligent, eccentric free spirit who loved to travel and hated to be tied down. He had friends and acquaintances all over the world and definitely lived life on his own terms. He moved to Patzcuaro, Mexico about 2 years ago and fell in love with the city, the people and everything about the simple lifestyle he enjoyed there. He is now flying high, no longer tied to a body that was failing him and surely enjoying new adventures every day.

The areas of South Morgan and North Morgan were first settled in 1960-61, and were incorporated into Morgan City in 1868. Morgan's business district had it origins along Young Street and State Street in South Morgan. Some of these first businesses included a mercantile and blacksmith shop. Although the business district was in South Morgan the main route into the area was located on the northeast side of Weber River. This created a dangerous situation to receive merchandise and supplies from out of the area. It was very hazardous to cross the river, especially in Spring prior to the first bridge over the river.
Grant and Marilee Wadman were found dead in their Porterville home at 390 West Hardscrabble in Porterville. The Sheriff's office was notified by family members after they had not been able to contact the couple for approximately a week.
I've had a few people give me great ideas for Teen Square. I would like to have more topics or thoughts that you would like to see in future articles.
What is happening with Special Education in Morgan School District? Federal law 94-142 Idea mandates the practice of special education. Each state dictates how they will adopt and implement educational practices. Then each district utilizes the guidelines to design programs that are mandated for individual schools, classrooms, and students. This can be tricky in both large and small districts because of size and funding, so creativity and intelligence combined makes it work! Synchronizing education between what is happening in the regular education classes, special education classes, related service providers and at home, is as crucial as a balanced diet.

Last week I wrote about remembering to forget. This week is about not forgetting to remember. Veteran's Day has passed for another year, but that doesn't mean we stop honoring those who gave and give their lives in the service of our country and any other country seeking true freedom. They are heroes and their sacrifices and service deserve more than any medal could symbolize. They should be honored every day we are free to wake up and live our lives.
Nearly everyone will have heard of Wikipedia. It began as a project and a software product. The concept was that an encyclopedia could be created online in a collaborative fashion. Wikipedia grew out of an online encyclopedia written by experts, but community content rapidly outpaced the expert contributions. In the first year only 20,000 entries were created. Wikipedia now boasts more than 3.6 million articles. Studies of accuracy have been done and place Wikipedia at an accuracy rate comparable to expert authored encyclopedias. It is the best case, worldwide, of community collaboration creating wide content, high quality content at a very low cost.
Congratulations to Emma Morgan, 5th grade student at Mountain Green Elementary School, for her winning entry into the Morgan Conservation District's "Forests For People" poster competition. Emma was awarded a cash prize, as well as a pizza party and a watershed model demonstration presented to her class. Emma put forth an amazing amount of thought and time into her project and her winning poster was a clear representation of her efforts.
George and Carol Lancaster were both born in 1947, no more than one city away from each other; George was born in Murray, Carol in Salt Lake. George was raised in Crescent, attended and graduated from Jordan High School while Carol attended three different high schools, Olympus, Hillcrest, and graduated from Cyprus; her family moved around to different areas of Salt Lake. It was in the ninth grade when they finally met each other. George sat behind her in Social Studies class. Carol and George had become such good friends that as Carol was moving around, George was always making sure he found her so they could keep in touch. Over the course of four or five years these two occasionally dated, corresponded by letters back and forth and developed a very close relationship. This close relationship, in fact, later resulted in marriage in the year 1966.
Dan, "The Man" turns 40!

Surrounded by friends, family, coaches and teammates Bailey Farris signed her National Letter of Intent to play volleyball for Division I volleyball powerhouse Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Farris received a full ride athletic scholarship and will begin her college career next fall as an outside hitter for the Wolverines. Farris was courted by several instate colleges including Utah State and University of Utah but says that her decision was pretty easy. She has great respect for the coaching staff and she has watched them (UVU) dominate college volleyball in the state of Utah for the last several years. Additionally, Farris feels right at home on the UVU courts after being a part of the Morgan Trojans for back to back state championships there.

You're on vacation, enjoying the sights and sounds of relaxing surroundings, when all of a sudden it hits. Did I lock the back door? Did I forget to leave enough food for the pets? Is the garage door open? Usually, it's no big deal because you're certain you remembered to do those things, right? You try to remember every detail hoping that will be enough to assure you, but then you wonder if you left the iron on, or forgot to water the plants, or leave a key with the neighbor for emergencies. There are plenty of things to forget about that can cause turmoil and spoil your relaxation. So, unless you want to turn around and go home on a hunch that you forgot something, you're going to have to remember to forget about some things and trust that everything will be okay when you get back.
Serving on the School Board is a privilege and an honor. I believe it would be beneficial to share a few things about School Board governance that may affect the way the community interacts with the Board and the Administration.
Girls think that boys are stupid, and boys think that girls are indecisive. But what is the reality of it?
The new sixth grade teacher at Morgan Middle School this year is Mrs. Ball. Mrs. Ball attended high school in Arizona and then graduated from Northern Arizona University where she studied nursing and microbiology. Once her youngest child started kindergarten, she went back to school and received her teaching degree from Southern Utah University. Mrs. Ball taught eighth grade in Cedar City before she came to Morgan. She was given the opportunity to teach sixth grade here and she loves it. She is very glad to continue teaching middle school. Mrs. Ball very much enjoys being with her students. Her favorite thing about teaching is seeing the understanding in her students' eyes. The satisfying feeling of helping the students learn is what she takes the most pleasure in.
Special Education at Morgan Middle School is a variety of experiences, personalities, subjects, abilities, and needs boiled into one program. Part of what makes us unique is that every day has different thrills and experiences. It is an exciting adventure!

I enlisted in the Air Force Reserve in December 1963 and served 33 years until retiring in September 1996. I spent my entire career in the 945th then 508th then 419th Civil Engineering Squadrons. Some of my tours included numerous bases in the U.S; bases in: Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska; Hawaii; Germany; Crete, Italy; Honduras; and Korea. I served at Incirlik Air Base Turkey during December 1994 and January 1995 in Operation Provide Comfort. The UN called on Iraq to end repression of its population in northern Turkey and to bring humanitarian relief to the Kurds.
In late October of 2010, PFC Matthew Permar, along with the rest of his unit, 2nd Battalion, of the 4th Regiment, 4th Combat Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, began their long journey from Ft. Polk, LA to Afghanistan. Their civilian contracted airline made its first stop in Bangor AFB, Maine; then on to Sophia, Bulgaria; finally landing in Manas, Kyrgyastan. In Manas, after being issued plates for their body armor, 2nd Battalion soldiers boarded an Air Force C-17 for the flight to FOB (Forward Operating Base) Shank, about 50 miles south of Afghanistan's capitol city, Kabul. The landing at FOB Shank was delayed because the base was then under mortar attack. In one bizarre incident, a mortar round landed on a soldier's foot. Fortunately it was a dud and he survived. The base was mortared again on the following day during evening chow, and Permar was struck by how little warning the incoming rounds gave, no great whistling sound like in the movies. After the stress of the long flight, he slept through the mortar attack on the third day.
Veterans Day 2011 comes once in a century this year on 11/11/11. With this remarkable day in history, where we celebrate our veterans throughout the nation and different wars, I wanted to post some of the letters that have been sent to me from people throughout the United States from veterans, soldiers and individuals who support our troops. On my side job, I work as a songwriter with an organization called Project Troops- Artists Who Care. We do concerts for soldiers and veterans, and have been involved in fundraising to help with sending packages and letters to our troops. We often get letters to give to the soldiers and veterans, and I wanted to share some of these sentiments provided by veterans, and supporters of our troops for this Veterans Day. It is not enough for us to merely stand by and take our freedoms for granted, we must realize for what we enjoy today, someone has paid a price, and is paying the price for our freedoms today. Thank a soldier, write a letter, send a package, to let them know of your gratitude.

Well it's finally finished. Gosh 12 days! Of wonderful lessons from Tim Holtz.
Here is my last tag…..
Well yet again I have had none of the supplies Tim has used….
So this is what I have done:
First of all I literally had to make the broken doll – did that with Creative Paperclay.
The silver findings are made with ground board pieces and silver tinsel embossing powder.
I stamped the tissue paper which was one layer of a paper napkin – for the background and flower.
So once again I improvised and I am happy with the results. Nice sigh of relief as I was almost stumped with this one as the doll really through me off for half a day.
Thanks for looking.

noob needs help with textArea
You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.
I have some fairly lengthy text that I want to display. I'm putting a textArea on the screen. But I don't understand its behaviour.
I've played with the height, width, left, right, top, bottom etc properties. No matter how I set it up, it doesn't create the area the way I'd like it to look.
Based on the parameters I give it creates a square on the screen. within that square is a second square at the top left, tall enough to display 2 lines text.
The width of this inner square seems to stay the same no matter how wide I make the textArea. On the right side of the inner square is a scroll bar.
How do I make this inner box as tall and wide as the outer box?
Is there a better widget than the textArea for displaying large blocks of text?

1987-07-12 Lupe Aquino w pts 12 Duane Thomas, Merignac Sports Complex, Bordeaux, France - WBC
1987-07-12 Lupe Aquino w pts 12 Duane Thomas, Merignac Sports Complex, Bordeaux, France - WBC. Referee: Larry O'Connell. Scorecards: 116-111, 117-110, 114-113. A big underdog, Aquino (154) surprised the champion when taking the fight to him right from the opening bell. Aquino then shook Thomas further when putting him down in the second round with a big left hook. Although Thomas (154) made it to his feet and fought back bravely, landing some big punches of his own, he was unable to quell the spirited Aquino, and even when it looked as though he might be getting on top the latter came back strongly in the eighth. After the ninth was evenly contested, Thomas faded badly in the remaining three sessions, being knocked down by a solid right in the last and finishing with cuts over both eyes to go with badly swollen features.

Requiem for the DLC
February 09, 2011
After a good quarter-century run, the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) has announced it will close its doors this month. Its original mission has long been accomplished: This small but famous—or, depending on your orientation, infamous—organization was founded in the wake of the 1984 Walter Mondale debacle by two House Democratic Caucus staffers named Al From and Will Marshall, who enlisted an assortment of elected officials with names like Clinton, Gore, Gephardt, Nunn, Babbitt, and Robb.
The Many Lives of Christine O'Donnell
November 03, 2010
Dover, Delaware—"You have two stories ready to go, right?" It's about 7:30 p.m. at Christine O'Donnell's election-night party in Dover, and all the local reporters are crammed in the back, idly refreshing Politico and Twitter while waiting for the returns to come in. There's a man with a mustache and a baby blue O'Donnell t-shirt looming over us, grinning. "Cause you don't know which way it's going to go!," he explains. Of course, the journalists present all assume O'Donnell is going to lose her Senate race, and badly. Most of us are just there to watch the carnage.
Chris Coons Is Not a "Bearded Marxist"
October 21, 2010
Since winning the Republican nomination for Joe Biden's Senate seat in Delaware (thanks in part to $150,000 in out-of-state Tea Party money), Christine O'Donnell has provided virtually all of the race's rhetorical oxygen.
QED, Motherf*cker
September 20, 2010
Via Dave Weigel, I see that National Review's Stephen Spruiell is arguing that Delaware Democratic Senate nominee Chris Coons is "the epitome of a party apparatchik." His evidence? Coons is running for the Senate -- as a Democrat! In a wave election year where voter sentiment is running strongly against the Democratic party, Coons is the epitome of a party apparatchik. When all signs were pointing toward Mike Castle's being the Republican nominee, Coons was recruited by Democratic elders to run against him, and he gladly accepted the mission, despite its apparent futility.
Good News for Democrats Where? Delaware!
September 13, 2010
Among Tuesday's primaries is a suddenly red-hot contest in usually mild-mannered Delaware, where Republicans have been counting on picking up Joe Biden's old Senate seat since the day Congressman Mike Castle announced for the race. But now Castle is suddenly looking vulnerable to a right-wing uprising which, in turn, could make Democratic candidate Chris Coons the front-runner going into November.
A Few Good Dems
February 15, 2010
The Democrats' recent electoral woes have been well-chronicled. Within the last six months, the party has been plagued by high-profile losses (Martha Coakley, Jon Corzine), high-profile retirements (Byron Dorgan, Marion Berry), and, yes, even high-profile deaths (Ted Kennedy, John Murtha). Stack those on top of a faltering economy, a stalled-out Congress, and a pissed-off populace (to name just three bits of bad news), and the first Tuesday in November is looking nasty.

This week Red Karaoke released a karaoke version of Christina Aguilera's single, I'm not myself tonight, the latest in a string of daring one uppers the ladies of pop have seemed to be recording in a fight for the heavyweight title of Pop Queen.
And in this epic battle, Christina Aguilera has quite a bit of fighting to do. Not only has it been four years and a baby since Aguilera's last studio album, but the game has changed since the bubblegum pop days of Genie in a bottle and Britney Spears. Pop songs and music videos have grown up quite a bit in the last couple of years, in particular due to the influence of the ground breaking Lady Gaga and her reintroduction of sex and the "Event video" into mainstream.
Just take a look at Lady Gaga's latest video and single, Alejandro, which is actually relatively demure in comparison to her epics Telephone and Paparazzi. Gaga obviously has taken the reigns as line crossing video queen, openly baring her sexuality and even one upping the original material girl, Madonna, by wearing a machine gun brazierre.
With old frontiers being reopened and reinvented by the likes of Gaga, it's no wonder artists like former Disney princess and Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus are trying to match the sex appeal and general wackiness that seems to have overtaken the pop world.
Ready to join the same league as Gaga and divas like Beyonce, Cyrus's newest album and it's lead single practically scream, "I'm a grown up to" with the so subtedly title Can't be tamed. The single's video matches her need to be accepted as one of pop's sexiest new adults (though she still isn't legal) with the same leotards and corsets we seem to see on everyone from Rihanna to Shakira, and choreography that attempts to challenge Single Ladies.
Aguilera's Not myself tonight follows suit with its futuristic sound and video paying homage to Madonna's Express Yourself and Human Nature, a hefty attempt to re-enter the pop world that has gone from it's college party girl Dirrty days and evolved into a more artistic and high end version of sexy.
Whether Aguilera pulls off the leather corest and whips or not, it seems between all the babes battling for queen bee of the pop charts, sexy is here to stay. Check out these latest karaokes from all of our favorite pop ladies, and sing them here on RK or purchase them from the Red Karaoke Store.

A State of Stress
It's Friday. And Suzanne Jessee recommends we take a collective deep breath.
Ready? One…Two…Three…Sigh. Go to your happy place (mine: Mackinac Island). There! Don't you feel better?
The city, the region, the whole state is stressed out, according to Jessee, who counsels people on the topics of panic disorders, mental distress and mental wellness. She's been down those roads herself. And she lives in Michigan (Brighton), so she knows the challenges here.
Between the weather (seasonal affective disorder), the economy (Wall Street) and the overall negative vibes being sent to our state (Congress), Jessee and I agree on one thing: this Mitten needs some help to emotionally detoxify.
Warning: This won't be just a pity party. This is tough love, too. Get ready for it.
Jessee is a Texas native, but she has lived in Michigan over the past decade. This gives her a unique perspective as both an outsider and longtime resident. As an outsider, she appreciates the state's beauty and abundant resources. But as a resident, she understands why we all get so bummed out about "the Remains of Detroit."
People coast through life in most circumstances, Jessee said. It is in times of stress or anxiety that we must manage our behavior and reaction to stress on a weekly, daily or even hourly basis if needed. We must be more aware of our thoughts and how we perceive things. Negative thoughts (and cruel behaviors) must be banished quickly and completely.
"Stress is 90 percent perception," Jessee said. "It's not the event; it's how we perceive the event."
Plus, we're all pretty spoiled when you really look at it. We've been catered to and doted on for so long that we're like a fat cat, Jessee notes. We still have food. We still have a roof to shelter us. And if you don't have either, there are food banks and shelters out there – a true blessing that many forget about.
"You can choose to focus on the haves or you can focus on the have nots in life," Jessee said.
In fact, this is the time when individuals need to look beyond their own needs and think of others. If you are unemployed, this is the ideal time to offer your skills to others. Not only could it help someone, it makes you feel good. And that is key to reducing stress.
"If you're not suffering, you probably know someone who is and you need to reach out," she said. "Besides, no one is really suffering here. We're having to make do with less. That's not suffering. Most of us still have everything we need."
Yup, you heard her right. We are not victims. We made choices – to buy that boat, to take out that home loan, to buy those risky stocks. You can admit you took the risk and be at peace with it. Or you can complain. And now is not the time to complain. Learn from those decisions and become accountable.
Michigan is full of people with top-notch skills. There is a strong community here that supports one another. And the rewards that we believe we deserve will come – in time.
"This is just a season," Jessee added. "It was necessary and it was a regret. But what goes up must come down."
Another surprising recommendation: Jessee believes Metro Detroit needs to have some fun. And fun doesn't have to be expensive. It's like when someone invites you to go ice skating. You probably complain throughout the entire preparation, but the actual event is thrilling.
"Thoughts and emotions are like chemicals – stress moves throughout our system and it builds us up or down. Our mental and physical health is affected," she notes.
"Self-pity is a choice. Engaging in (positive behavior) is a choice. But it takes effort. And a lot of us have a hard time getting over that hump," Jessee said.
One part pep talk and one part nagging Mother. Aren't you glad you read the Blog today?
Suzanne Jessee also threw down a challenge: If you post a comment here, share an experience that brought you joy. It just might make you go into the weekend with a little less stress.

Ray McNulty: What-ifs end badly for Sports Village
VERO BEACH - Not to be a pessimist, but, frankly, I have my doubts about Dodgertown's future.
Serious doubts.
Worrisome doubts.
I see what's happening with the Minor League Baseball group — which, it seems, can't get out of town fast enough — and I can't help but wonder if the folks in Indian River County are going to be stuck with a once-hallowed, now-vexing piece of property it can't lease, can't sell and can't afford to maintain.
There are just so many what-if scenarios, most of which end badly.
What if Soapy Immell, the 79-year-old local businessman who has been negotiating with MiLB to take over the operations at what is now known as the Vero Beach Sports Village, doesn't deliver the $1.2 million the county wants by Friday and plans to place in escrow to protect itself in the event the lease is broken?
What if MiLB, which says it lost $1 million here last year and expects to lose another $500,000 this year, can't find anyone else willing to assume what's left of the five-year lease that doesn't expire until May 2014?
What if the MiLB bunch bails, choosing to pay the $300,000 buyout required by the terms of the lease, rather than risk losing millions more across the next three years?
What does the county do then?
At the moment, a more pressing concern is the cloverleaf of youth baseball fields MiLB wants the county to build, at a cost of $2.5 million, on land acquired from the city of Vero Beach.
MiLB, which months ago began searching for other parties to take over its lease, agreed to a two-week moratorium on building the additional fields while waiting for Immell to come up with the cash the county required for escrow.
The two-week delay expires Friday. And, as of late Tuesday, Immell's check hadn't arrived at the county offices — which should surprise no one.
Immell's exclusive negotiating window ended last week, when he failed to produce the money by 5 p.m. Thursday. So MiLB is now talking to other entities, though Immell, who doesn't want the additional fields, still can make his pitch if his $1.2 million shows up in time.
But don't hold your breath.
Truth is, it's difficult to imagine any group willing to make the substantial investment necessary to take over the sports-village operation and run it for a worthwhile profit during these challenging economic times.
Maybe a Nike-type company, bolstered by bottomless pockets and worldwide connections, could take such a gamble and make it work. But, obviously, the MiLB brand wasn't enough. And unless the economy picks up soon, there's little cause to believe Immell's company, Tower Sports LLC, could do better.
Don't get me wrong: I hope MiLB finds some big-bucks entity eager to keep the complex operating and keep alive some semblance of the special place that Dodgertown was — if only for sentimental reasons.
I hope it happens this week.
Otherwise, the county will be forced to dump $2.5 million into a cloverleaf project with no guarantee that MiLB won't opt for the $300,000 buyout and will still be here next year to make use of it.
Given the cost, the county might want to consider letting MiLB break its lease, without any penalty, and using that $2.5 million to maintain the facility until a new lessee is found.
Just a suggestion.
Clearly, there are no easy solutions for the dilemma at Dodgertown, which loses its mystique and marketability with each passing year. At some point, the county no longer will be able to find a lessee to run the complex.
What then? What if the real-estate market doesn't improve and the county can't sell the property? How much will county taxpayers be willing to spend to maintain the place?
Can Dodgertown survive?
Not to be a pessimist, but, frankly, I have my doubts.
Serious doubts.

The favorite: Tulsa Union
The Redskins have won four consecutive Class 6A titles and six of the last eight. Since dropping a tight game to Owasso in Week 4, Union has rolled with a balanced offense led by quarterback Hunter Atyia.
The favorite: Tulsa Union
The Redskins have won four consecutive Class 6A titles and six of the last eight. Since dropping a tight game to Owasso in Week 4, Union has rolled with a balanced offense led by quarterback Hunter Atyia.
Player to watch
Jordan Evans, Norman North
Evans has been everything he was expected to be on defense, holding down the middle for the Timberwolves at linebacker. But recently, Norman North has used Evans as an offensive force as well.
Team to watch: Jenks
It's hard to think of the Trojans as an underdog but after four years of Union dominance, Jenks is in that role. After back-to-back losses to start the season, the Trojans have been dominant. No team in the 6A playoffs is playing better entering the playoffs than Jenks.
Best first-round matchup: Sand Springs at Broken Arrow
The Sandites got out to a hot start, winning their first six games before going 2-4 to end the season. Broken Arrow's season was the opposite, fighting through a 3-3 start to finish in second place in District 6A-2. Does Broken Arrow continue its surge or can Sand Springs regain the magic from the hot start to advance.
Best first-round matchup: Guthrie at Lawton MacArthur
No. 1 for much of the season, defending champ Guthrie goes on the road to face the team it beat in last year's title game.
Player to watch: Stanvon Taylor, Tulsa East Central
The Oklahoma commitment is simply electric, and will make big plays on offense, defense and special teams.
Toughest road: Del City
Claremore or Tulsa Memorial in the second round. Possibly No. 3 McGuinness or No. 4 Tulsa Kelley in the semifinals. But the Eagles have to get through a Mid-Del grudge match against Carl Albert first.
Potential first-round upset
Coweta over Tulsa Kelley. Bubba Burcham's Coweta squad was up-and-down in district play, finishing fourth in 5A-4, but only lost 29-25 to the Comets in Week 3.
The favorite: ????
Perhaps no class is as wide open as 4A, with three undefeated teams and defending champion Wagoner, which only lost to 5A Coweta in the season opener, leading the way. Anadarko and Cascia Hall, teams that met for last year's 3A championship with Anadarko coming out ahead, are among the crowded group of contenders in 4A.
Toughest road: Wagoner
The defending champion Bulldogs would've been the favorite if not for the loss of Kerwin Thomas for the season. Not only does Wagoner face the playoffs without on of their top players but the Bulldogs' road starts with Sallisaw, who was considered a state-title contender before the season, and could include Douglass and Anadarko before even making the title game if Wagoner was able to win. With Lawrence Evitt in the backfield, Wagoner can certainly repeat, but it'll certainly have to earn it.
Best first-round matchup: Broken Bow at Cleveland
Perhaps we learned more about these teams more in losses than in their wins. Broken Bow pushed Cascia Hall to the edge last week before falling, while Cleveland gave Wagoner all it wanted in mid-October. Cleveland lost last week but the game was meaningless in the playoff picture. Cleveland quarterback Chas Stallard has been on of the top passers in 4A this season.
Player to watch: Easton Pingleton, Ada
Well, player to watch other than Evitt, who has more than 2,100 yards rushing this season. Pingleton has been a big reason the Cougars are back in the title hunt once again, with nearly 1,000 yards receiving. Ada quarterback Wyatt Robson has been efficient in getting the ball to Pingleton, who is averaging more than 18 yards per catch.

A friend of mine who uses a wheelchair was recently approached by a stranger who crossed over the road to talk to her.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-The Lipscomb volleyball team will be heading on the road to open their 2012 season in the Kentucky Classic starting with Long Beach State at 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 24th.
The Lady Bisons will play a doubleheader on Saturday, Aug. 25th with the host team of Kentucky at 10 a.m. and then with North Carolina at 5 p.m.
All three teams are ranked inside the top 27, while the Wildcats are the only one ranked inside the top-25 at No. 13. Long Beach State and North Carolina are the top two teams outside the top 25.
"It's not one of those tournaments that you can ease into things," head coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "These girls are going to come out and play hard and put their best effort forward and leave it all out on the floor."
This will be the first time that Lipscomb will face any of these teams in the Kentucky Classic tournament.
"I don't think this is a statement weekend for us," Rosenthal said. "But I think it's an opportunity for us to really take this program to the next level."
The Lady Bisons return home after the tournament for the Lipscomb Invitational starting with a double header on Friday, Aug. 31st with Appalachian State at 12:30 p.m. and Missouri at 7:30 p.m. in Allen Arena. They finish up the tournament with Houston on Saturday, Sept. 1st at 2:30 p.m. Admission is free for all volleyball matches.

A couple of weeks ago, we shared a crafty piece of inspiration for your left-over Christmas Cards and showed you how to create your very own crafty star. So we thought we'd continue the theme of home-made decorations made from printed products, and this time I was inspired by Chinese paper lanterns, and I realised they sort of look like baubles, too!
This craft is really straightforward to make; you don't even need any glue, so it's less messy! You'll just need 2 greeting cards, a hole-puncher, a pencil, a ruler, 2 paper fasteners, 1 piece of string.
Here's how to …Continue reading this article…
Last month we showcased some innovative Christmas and Holiday Cards that MOO Creative Director Matt G tracked down. This got us thinking; there must be hundreds of wonderful designs out there in the big wide world that Matt simply wouldn't have time to track down by himself. So we asked our friends on Facebook and Twitter to show us what they'd seen or created.
We got so many responses that there's simply not enough blog space to hold them all! We've picked just a selection of designs that really caught our eye. Without further ado, here are our top picks:
We loved …Continue reading this article…
Have you ever wondered what to do with your Holiday Cards once you've taken them down from your mantle-piece? Or wondered what to do with the left over cards from your pack after you've mailed all your friends and clients?
This star is made purely from Christmas Cards and a little glue, could make a great addition to your festive decorations and even squashes flat without breaking, so it can be sent to friends in the mail as an alternative greeting or crafty gift.
Here's how to make your very own Holiday Card star. We've made the template available …Continue reading this article…
We just launched a new range of Greeting Card packs, and we're rather pleased with them. It occurred to us, though, that we're not the only ones who come up with creative designs.

You can share your finds with us by posting them on our Facebook page or by Tweeting them to us @overheardatmoo.
To get us started, we turned to Matt G – MOO's very own creative guru (and fashion guru, have you seen those jumpers?) He thought he'd have a look around for how companies …Continue reading this article…

Christmas seems to creep up on all of us every year. We all know it's coming, yet it's always a shock on Christmas eve when you've still got to find the perfect present for your friends, family and of course, your office Secret Santa.
The same goes for cards – what to put on them, who to send them to, and indeed when to send them. You don't want to get caught in the postal rush just before Christmas and have your card turn up in January. And you certainly don't want to be the one sending festive wishes in September!
We thought it'd be fun to take a closer look at Christmas Card habits, and the history of …Continue reading this article…
As we may have told you a couple times before, we absolutely love looking through all the photos of your MOO creations posted on our Facebook wall and in our Flickr pool.

Potential is the ability; ambition is the desire; and initiative is the doing.Choices for College Success demonstrates how organized action enhances academic success and helps create a healthy and balanced life. As one reviewer stated, "The text tells the reader WHAT they need to know and HOW they need to do it." Core changes to this edition include a pre-assessment, new financial management chapter, revised and enhanced information literacy coverage, and test taking is expanded to two chapters (prep and performance).
*Rhythms of College Success (1st edition) has matured into Choices for College Success (2nd edition). ROCS (1st) carried three themes throughout the book. CHOICES (2nd) hones in on one main, yet critical, life skill: turning words into actions.

PolyOne net income declines, but adjusted earnings beat estimates
May 1, 2013 | Vincent Valk
PolyOne today reported first-quarter net income from continuing operations down 26.8% year-on-year (YOY), to $11.2 million, on sales up 7.5%, to $801.1 million. Adjusted earnings, however, were up 29%, to 31 cts/share, beating analysts' consensus of 26 cts/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters. The adjusted earnings figure excludes some restructuring and debt repayment charges. The Spartech acquisition contributed $54.7 million to sales and was earnings-neutral, PolyOne says. The company's vinyls resin assets, which are being sold to Mexichem...

Things I've read recently that I've liked.
– At Amazin' Avenue, Jeff Paternostro finished up his series on the best Mets prospects he saw in person this year with Cesar Puello and Brandon Nimmo grabbing the top two spots among position players and Rafael Montero and Steven Matz doing the same in the pitching category. (Note: Jeff missed Syndergaard in 2013. Tough luck).
– ESPN's Mark Simon thinks that of all of the players active in the 2013 World Series, Red Sox SS Stephen Drew is the guy most likely to be a Met in 2014.
Baseball (Big Picture)
ERA + and minus
Sky Kalkman has a strong critique of ERA+ which is not linear. He argues for the use of ERA- or a modified ERA+. He storified a twitter rant about it. So, no more ERA+ (for me).
Rob and I have discussed "Clutch" a couple of times recently on the podcast. Tom Tango argues that clutch exists, but because "it's very hard to detect,… it's there. At the same time, because it's hard to detect, it really doesn't change the managerial decision-making proces…"
Perhaps the best longish thing I've read on the subject is Tom Tango's piece from 2009 at the old Hardball Times. Tango asked fans to identify "clutch" players. When fans as a group identified clutch players as a group, they selected players who did perform better in high leverage situations BUT (and it's a big but) their performance improved by less than the ordinary platoon advantage.
The Head Trauma in Football Series at MMQB was outstanding.
Discourse on the Otter is wonderful, adorable and most importantly full of otters.

Has Psychotherapy Taken A Back Seat To Medication?
Even though countless studies show that psychotherapy helps people living with depression and anxiety, drug therapy has become the most popular course of treatment over the past decade. The American Psychological Association (APA) is hoping to balance that trend with an initiative launched today that will educate consumers about psychotherapy's effectiveness and encourage them to ask their physicians about it as a treatment option.
"We get a lot of information about drug therapy from commercials and pop culture, but we hear much less about the alternatives," said Katherine Nordal, PhD, executive director of professional practice at APA. "Mental illness and depression get a lot of attention during October and that gives us a good opportunity to highlight the benefits of psychotherapy for these disorders. While medication can be an appropriate part of treatment, people should know that psychotherapy works!"
APA is introducing an animated video series about a fictional miracle drug called "Fixitol." The videos are a parody on drug ads, drawing attention to the value of psychotherapy as a treatment option. The Association is also providing resources on depression, how psychotherapy works and how to talk to your physician about getting started.
"Hundreds of studies have found that psychotherapy is an effective way to help people make positive changes in their lives. Compared with medication, psychotherapy has fewer side effects and lower instances of relapse when discontinued," Dr. Nordal said. "We hope that, with the right information, more people with depression will explore their treatment options to create a plan that gives them the skills they need to manage their condition."
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders in America. According to U.S. government health agencies an estimated one in ten adults report having depression. Mental health problems lead to more than 150 million visits to doctors' offices, clinics and hospital outpatient departments each year, making it one of the top three reasons why Americans seek medical treatment. Between 1996 and 2008, the number of prescriptions for antidepressants more than doubled from 55.9 million to 154.7 million.
APA encourages people experiencing depression, stress or anxiety to ask their health care providers about psychotherapy when discussing treatment options. Psychotherapy provides a supportive environment that allows patients to talk openly about their personal health and emotional situations and gives patients skills and tools to manage stress, depression and anxiety over the long term.
Mental Illness Awareness Week and National Depression Screening Day are observed during the second week of October. Visit www.apa.org/psychotherapy to learn how psychotherapy can help in treating depression and watch the video series,Psychotherapy: More Than a Quick Fix.

Intellectuals and Society
by Thomas Sowell
George Orwell famously said some things are so foolish that only an intellectual could believe them, for no ordinary man could be such a fool.
Thomas Sowell has made a career out of debunking those very things—most famously elite assumptions about racism and economics in classic books likeEthnic America, Race and Culture, Knowledge and Decisions, and The Vision of the Annointed.
I've often defined a postmodern intellectual as someone who is trained to be sure he knows better. Thomas Sowell, however, is a true intellectual in the best sense. His mind is not only open to the fact that he might not know better, his superb new book explains why it is impossible for one dictator or a small group of elites to know better than the great unwashed how to run their lives.
A constant theme of Sowell's work is that elites regularly—and with disastrous effect—substitute their assumptions for the actual on the ground knowledge of the masses of people. In Intellectuals and Society, he singles out so-called "intellectuals," those whose profession is trafficking in ideas, and the echo chamber they tend to inhabit.
He charges that such people may be "intellects," but that doesn't mean they are very smart.
Of course, once you have spent a lifetime debunking things that are accepted as Gospel by the "intellectual class," and prove Orwell's thesis on a daily basis, the term "pseudo- intellectual" starts to lose its meaning:
Recently, Boston College's Alan Wolfe, a prime example of the above definition– wrote an intellectually dishonest pseudo-review of Intellectuals and Society for the usually rigorous New Republic—which David Horowitz dispatched quite nicely.
Wolfe's review might as well have been titled, "I Represent That Remark." (I have done a couple of radio interviews with Wolfe, and found him to be less than impressive.) While Horowitz doubted that Wolfe, who protested the lack of musicians and novelists in Sowells' discussion, had read the parameters of the discussion on page 2, I think it's more likely Wolfe made it to the page 4 definition of pseudo-intellectuals, felt the pang of self-recognition, and then went on hisvery personal rant against Sowell.
Wolfe, ironically supplies the perfect example of how intellectuals who share the currently anointed vision of the world make what Sowell calls "Arguments without Arguments:"
Usually, economists who discuss Adam Smith's "invisible hand" do so in the context of business and the economy. In Intellectuals and Society, Sowell not only gives the best explanation of why the invisible hand of self-interest works better than a central plan, he then applies it to subjects as far afield from economics as war and police shootings.
Sowell argues that the intelligentsia devalue "mundane knowledge" in favor of special knowledge. However, mundane knowledge is what it takes to actually get anything done.
For instance, it may be impressive that a physicist understands Bernoulli's principles of aerodynamic lift, but you wouldn't want him in the cockpit second guessing your pilot. Sowell argues that the smartest man cannot know even 1% of what would be required to run the lives of the people in a community, but that is what experts, politicians and intellectuals attempt in their hubris.
Intellectuals and Society is one of those books you want to read with a red pencil, to highlight nuggets like those above for later use.
While intellectuals' visions cause social and economic disruption in many areas, none are so immediately deadly as their approach to war and foreign relations. Sowell indicts the anointed for ignoring all empirical evidence and experience to the contrary, and insisting that the next dictator—from Hitler to Ahmadinejad—is the one who can be dealt with diplomatically.
Sowell concludes with a list of the anointed intelligentsia's assumptions which have turned the world upside down, of which, he says, a complete refutation would fill volumes. "More important," he says ruefully, "It fills our schools and colleges."
Of course, as he points out early in the book, an intellectual is someone who can lecture a police department on how many shots are sufficient to bring down an armed suspect under stressful conditions—when he himself has never even fired a pistol on a range.
Long before the Freakonomics phenomenon, Thomas Sowell was making this kind of real life critique from an economist's point of view. Intellectuals and Society is accessible, witty, practical, brilliantly argued, and essential reading. It's sure to infuriate self-important elites.
In other words, it's a typical Thomas Sowell book.

In November of 2003, a crew from the Sonoma County Water Agency cleared out trees, bushes and vegetation from a 300-yard section of the creek where members of the Casa Grande High School United Anglers program had worked for more than 20 years to restore the creek as a habitat for steelhead trout.
The incident prompted a six-page grand jury report, ?Adobe Creek Debacle and Restoration,? and a misdemeanor charge against the SCWA. The agency reached a settlement in September of 2004 when a Sonoma County Superior Court commissioner agreed to dismiss the charge if the SCWA took corrective actions.
The SCWA then contracted with the Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation District to take a long-term approach to handling flood control along the stretch.
Recently, after four years of planning, meetings and permits, most of the restoration of the creek has been completed.
?The goal of our project was twofold: to address the needs of flood control and to help save an endangered salmon species,? said Jason Sweeney, watershed coordinator for the resource district and manager of the project.
?Our project focused on balancing these somewhat competing needs and to also support the ongoing work of the United Anglers,? he said.
The section of the creek that was improved runs through an eastside neighborhood near Sartori Drive and Del Oro Park. More sediment tends to drop into this channelized section than in the natural part of the creek, Sweeney said.
?It?s been a long haul,? he said, ?and the creek has gone through a lot of changes since we started. But the channel is evolving nicely.?
The long process included permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service, funding from the Zone 2A Flood Advisory Committee and an environmental review to meet California Environ-mental Quality Act standards.
Sweeney also held meetings with neighbors, city parks and water officials, the city?s Tree Advisory Committee, United Anglers director Tom Furrer and other interested parties.

A polling station at Rutland Elementary in Mt. Juliet in Wilson County / Larry McCormack / File / The Tennessean
Just hours after the Davidson County Election Commission voted Tuesday not to use electronic poll books for voting in November, Metro Council members voted to hold off on paying for the machines.
The poll books, which replaced paper poll books recently in 60 of the countys 160 voting precincts, have been at the center of criticism in the past week because some voters received the wrong ballots during the Aug. 2 primary.
The commission had planned to use the new poll books in all 160 precincts for the Nov. 6 general election. But four of the five commission members voted Tuesday to revert back to the paper poll books for all precincts. The electronic poll books will be used only for poll workers to look up voter lists.
Funding for those additional poll books about $400,000 was part of an appropriations bill that was before the Metro Council Tuesday evening.
Last week, Metro Councilwoman Megan Barry called for the city to hold off on approving that money pending an audit of the election processes. The council voted to approve her amendment and take up the issue of whether to fund the purchase of the equipment at a later date.
I think its our responsibility to have the election commission come before us with all the uncertainty, said Councilman Lonnell Matthews.
Matthews said the clection commission needs to be given the chance to explain to the council what happened with the last election before approval is given to purchase the additional electronic poll books.
Also at issue was whether the election commission already should have ordered the additional electronic poll books without council approval.
Without the council appropriating the money, the election commission had no authority to buy these machines, pure and simple, said Jon Cooper, the councils attorney and staff director.
During the primary election last month, the electronic poll books were defaulting to the Republican primary if voters didnt express a preference. Election administrator Albert Tieche has acknowledged that the machines were improperly programmed.
The intention of buying the electronic poll books was to reduce the time involved in voting and reduce possibilities for mistakes, Tieche said. But as a result of the programming mistake in the recent primary, the opposite occurred.
This door was left open to human error, and some of our humans went through that door, Tieche told the commission.
The problem came to light after some voters, including Sheriff Daron Hall, an elected Democrat, disclosed that the new poll books resulted in them being given ballots for the Republican primary.
State and local Democratic leaders have called for a complete investigation of the vote to determine just how widespread the problem was. Those leaders and a voter advocacy group also last week asked that state election offices hold off certifying the results of the primary.
At the commission meeting, Tieche said that despite some voters being given the wrong ballot initially, many were still allowed to vote in their desired primary if they alerted a poll worker to the mix-up.

Super League: Wigan 22-12 Leeds
Wigan (6) 22
- Tries: Thornley, Farrell, Goulding, Charnley
- Goals: Richards 3
Leeds (0) 12
- Tries: Moon, Sutcliffe
- Goals: Sinfield
Challenge Cup winners Wigan will face Warrington in next Saturday's Grand Final after beating 2012 Super League champions Leeds at the DW Stadium.
Iain Thornley scored early on for the hosts, who are 80 minutes away from the first double since St Helens in 2006.
JJB injury worry
Second-rower Jamie Jones-Buchanan, one of the Leeds players who defied injury to play in their biggest game of the season, came off eight minutes before half-time. His knee injury could scupper his chances of playing for England in the World Cup.
Leeds got back on terms at the start of the second half with Joel Moon's try.
But Liam Farrell, Darrell Goulding and Josh Charnley crossed to send the Warriors, winners in 2010, back to Old Trafford after a three-year absence.
It has been seven years since a team won the Super League and the Challenge Cup in the same season. But, having beaten Hull FC at Wembley in August to lift the first silverware of the campaign, Shaun Wane's men are just one win away from emulating Saints at Old Trafford.
And England full-back Sam Tomkins, who will join NRL side New Zealand Warriors for a world-record £700,000 fee at the end of the season, now has the chance to sign off his career in cherry and white in style.
But, for Leeds, champions for the last two seasons, hopes of a sixth title in seven years and a third in succession are over.
Play-offs: Wigan v Leeds
- 1998: Eliminator - Wigan 17-4 Leeds
- 1998: Final - Wigan 10-4 Leeds
- 2002: Eliminator: Wigan 41-18 Leeds
- 2003: Semi-final - Leeds 22-23 Wigan
- 2004: Semi-final - Leeds 40-12 Wigan
- 2007: Semi-final - Leeds 36-6 Wigan
- 2008: Semi-final - Leeds 18-14 Wigan
- 2010: Qualifying - Wigan 26-27 Leeds
- 2010: Semi-final - Wigan 26-6 Leeds
- 2012: Semi-final: Wigan 12-13 Leeds
- 2013: Semi-final: Wigan 22-12 Leeds
The two sides had met in the last four almost a year to the day previously and, on that occasion, Kevin Sinfield's clinical kicking display had been enough to see the Rhinos progress by a single point.
In a similarly cagey opening 40 minutes back on the same DW Stadium stage, Thornley's early effort was the only score.
The Wigan centre had already forced Leeds winger Ben Jones-Bishop to spill the ball within sight of the whitewash before he crossed himself at the other end, rounding off a move involving Tomkins and Pat Richards, another who will saying his fond farewells as Old Trafford next Saturday night as he prepares to return to Australia.
An interception and length-of-the-field dash from winger Richards almost led to a second try for the hosts just before the interval, but he was brought down by Rhinos prop Ian Kirke 30 metres out.
Otherwise, defences were largely on top during a half in which avoiding costly errors became the chief concern above expansive attacking.
In contrast to the first half, it was the visitors who experienced early joy at the start of the second period to level things up at 6-6 as Carl Ablett, a try scorer in the Rhinos' 20-6 win at the DW Stadium three weeks earlier, burst through Harrison Hansen's limp tackle to send centre Moon over the whitewash.
The concession sparked Wigan into life. Almost immediately, Farrell shrugged off the attentions of Ablett to restore the home side's advantage, before a Kallum Watkins knock-on gifted Wigan possession near the Leeds try line and Goulding safely collected Matty Smith's grubber kick to score.
Wigan's record at Old Trafford
Wigan have appeared in five previous Grand Finals, winning two (1998 and 2010) and losing three (2000, 2001 and 2003)
Now 12 points adrift with a quarter of the match to play, Leeds had to take chances. Rob Burrow tried to inject some impetus, his jinking run creating space for Moon, who easily side-stepped Tomkins but was spectacularly denied his second try of the game by second-rower Hansen.
And the hosts exploited the gaps on offer in the closing stages, Charnley crossing unopposed for his 42nd try of the season to make the game safe, meaning Liam Sutcliffe's late try was merely a consolation.
In an all north-west Grand Final, Wigan will go in search of their first title since 2010, while Warrington - who saw off League Leaders' Shield winners Huddersfield in the other semi-final on Thursday night - are hoping to be crowned domestic champions for the first time since 1955.
Wigan coach Shaun Wane:
"I'm very happy. I don't think we were at our best but we did enough to win. I just knew if we stuck to our plays, we would get them.
"We need to improve. I don't think the week off did us any good. We were a bit underdone - but it was a tough arm wrestle tonight and it has put us in good spirits for next week.
"It was a gritty performance, which is what you need in a semi-final. I thought we defended tough. Leeds are a good team, they can play.
"There is still a lot of work to be done. Warrington are a great team but there are areas where we can improve."
Leeds coach Brian McDermott:
"Wigan came out fast, They looked more energised at the start. We were on the back foot right from the off, we never seemed to get a grip on the game.
"We had a big dig. We were never far off but we always seemed to be a yard behind.
"We could have been smarter but, in terms of effort, we couldn't have given any more. "I'm a proud man in charge of a disappointed team.
"JJB shouldn't have been on the field. His ligament is hanging on by a thread. It's up to Jonesy whether he's available for the World Cup. "
