Philander claims top spot in ICC rankings for Test all-rounders
South African player Vernon Philander has reportedly taken the No.1 spot on the ICC player rankings for Test all-rounders.
Philander has markedly improved his batting in the last while and almost helped South Africa claim a famous draw on the final day of the third Test against Australia at Newlands on Wednesday.
According to Sport24, the all-rounder, who scored 51 not out as the hosts lost by 245 runs to surrender the series 2-1, has moved up two places to the top of the all-rounders' table, pushing India's Ravichandran Ashwin to second and is now on 376 ratings points, three ahead of Ashwin.
However, Philander has moved the bowler rankings after he picked up just one wicket in the Newlands Test and subsequently moved down a place to third, with Australia's Ryan Harris, who ended with a match haul of seven for 95, moving up two places to a best-ever second position, the report added.

2 killed in small plane crash south of Flagstaff
MOUNTAINAIRE, Ariz. — Authorities say two people have died in a small
plane crash south of Flagstaff.
Coconino County sheriff's spokesman Gerry Blair says no one else was on board
the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza. The plane crashed just before noon
Tuesday, sparking a quarter-acre fire that quickly was suppressed.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says preliminary
information indicates the plane left Flagstaff Pulliam Airport just before noon
Tuesday. He says the plane had trouble gaining altitude before crashing about
three miles southeast of the airport in the community of Mountainaire.
Gregor says the destination had been Tuba City on the Navajo Nation.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

Poor weather delays NSW Amateur
BY iseekgolf.com | Australian Mens Amateur Tour | 2008 New South Wales Amateur Championship | Round Two | 03 Feb 2008
Round two of the IMAGETEC 2008 NSW Amateur Championship and Sporte Leisure Champion of Champion has been hampered by heavy rainfalls at North Ryde and Pennant Hills Golf Club.
Disruptive rain has seen many hours of play lost with those players at Pennant Hills completing their rounds as night fell and those at North Ryde unable to complete all of their second rounds. As a result of the rain delays the format for the Championship has been amended.
Of the completed scores Rohan Blizard (NSW GC) leads by one stroke after moving to -12 for the tournament. Blizard shot four under par, 65 at North Ryde GC and will be hard to overtake in the quest for the NSW Medal.
One stroke behind Blizard is former NSW Junior Team member Tim Hart. Hart almost equaled Blizard's course record effort from Saturday's opening round in shooting a seven under par 64 around the Pennant Hills course. Hart had an opportunity on the last hole to equal the record but his birdie putt ran past the left of the hole.
The top 60 players plus ties after all rounds are completed at both venues will advance to the final 18 holes at Pennant Hills.
Update – Weather Delays
Following lengthy rain delays the Tournament Committee have amended the format of the IMAGETEC 2008 NSW Amateur Championship as follows:
Players yet to have completed their second rounds will resume play at 8.00am at their respective courses on Monday 4th February.
Following the completion of all players second rounds a cut will take place with the leading 60 players plus ties advancing to play 18 holes at Pennant Hills Golf Club on Tuesday 5th February. A seeded draw will be in place for this round with play from 7.00am.
At the conclusion of the 3rd round the leading 32 players will advance to the Amateur (Matchplay) component from Wednesday 6th February at Ryde-Parramatta. If necessary, a play-off will be used to determine the final 32 players for the Matchplay.

Mick Jagger may have performed one of his biggest gigs yet at London's O2 over the weekend. But like a responsible pensioner, he didn't party too hard and was spotted travelling home solo at a reasonable hour the following morning… on a mobility scooter.
Scroll down for a video of Mick on his mobility scooter…
'Paint it black': A cabby lowers the ramp for Mick to reverse out on his scooter
Sunday night saw The Rolling Stones reliving their glory days. Celebrating 50 years together, Mick and the gang played an awesome gig at the O2 Arena in front of 20,000 fans.

Like a rolling stone, trying to get home: Mick makes his way home unaided
The ageing rockers (all in their sixties and seventies) spent the night in a hotel near to the arena, but Mick left his band mates behind early the next day to make his own way back to his swanky south London pad.
Aided by his mobility scooter, the King of rock 'n' roll had no trouble weaving through the crowds of people heading to work on Monday morning and asked for no assistance during his journey.

Passers-by seemed bemused by Sir Mick, wondering if it was a look alike, or a publicity stunt for the tour. However, when paparazzi caught news of the citing, they set up camp outside Jagger's house to see what state he would get home in.
Mr Jagger seemed to finally reach his posh pad, and after a couple of poses for the press, he headed inside for a very well-deserved rest.

I am a big man and in the summer i sleep very hot. I am looking for an insulation layer to give me just the most minimal amount of warmth.I got rid of my XP 2.5 quilt-too hot in only 60*I have some combat 2oz but can already tell from another bag i made that it will be too hot too.I don't see any reason to try primaloft 1.8, i'm sure it will be too hot.Is there a way i can get my hands of just 2 layers of scrim?I just want this for my mid summer's trips where it doesn't even touch 60* at night. I would just use a layer of nylon, but i do want a little air trapped between 2 layers to insulate me from any wind i catch under my tarp and give me that cozy feel of a quilt/blanket.Any ideas?
Edited by MarshLaw303 on 07/19/2008 07:20:25 MDT.
There will be a primaloft 40g (1.2oz) avalible in August, but I don't know if anybody is going to sell it for MYOG...Check this thread for more info:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=12296&disable_pagination=1
100 weight fleece maybe- it would be a tad heavy, but seems to fit the bill. You could also try a layer of nylon with a layer of silk or coolmax sewn to it. 4oz microfiber feels great, but would weigh as much as a 2oz combat quilt.
Tim: I have a cotton (yes, cotton) sleeping bag liner that I used to layer my 40 deg bag last winter. I got through a 7 degree night with the liner, bag, and regular clothes in February. Now, approaching the dog days of Wisconsin, the cotton liner works just fine at night and I don't sleep particularly hot.
maybe the primaloft 1.2 is worth a shot. I can't bring myself to take cotton. I have drilled into my students for years that cotton kills and i would feel like a big fat Judas. Fleece is probably a good option, however i don't think i could bring myself to carry a bag that wasn't as warm as one 3-4 oz lighter. I want to be comfortable when i am hot but i also want to keep it as light as i can. I really would consider, if i knew how to obtain it, making a bag with 2 layers of scrim inside. I just don't know how to get my hands on that. Do you think a local craft shop would have some ultra-thin polyester batting? I might check that option out.Tim
Edited by jshann on 07/20/2008 16:34:50 MDT.
Tim,You could try polypropylene row cover. I've used it for bug netting, sleeping bag baffles, and a handfull of other things. It comes as light as 0.3 oz/yd (you could use several layers). It's basically the same composition as Thinsulate (very fine, soft spunbonded fibers). I bought a big bolt of it online awhile ago and it came out to 13 cents a yard.
hmm, i'll have to look into that. where can it be found? I am not familiar with what exactly it is.
Just google Agribon, Covertan, Reemay, or "floating row cover." It comes in many different weights. The "Reemay" stuff tends to be heavier (about 0.6 oz minimum) and made of polyester, and the Agribon and Covertan are polypropylene. There are a large number of online suppliers, but most nurseries and garden centers carry it as well. The polypropylene varieties are just tyvek, but a little fuzzier and much lighter in weight.
I have a 65 degree bag from slumber jack ($45). I don't think it has any insulation, just two layers of fabric. You might want to try no insulation, just two layers of fabric.
i may try that. I am planning a sewn through down bag. Before i baffle it and add down i will sleep under it to see what i think.i will check out the row cover options too, sounds interesting. Will it be comfortable draped over me?
Very nicely finished quilt you put on gear swap Tim, I'm surprised no-one snapped that up yet. I was fingering some of the very thin insulation referred to above which was wrapped round the statuary in Hampton Court in London in February. Seems like a good option.
i'm surprised that quilt is still around too.Are you talking about the row cover stuff? Any idea what weight you saw? I know it's a long shot.TimJust got to thinking. If i use the row cover stuff will i need to stabilize it more than on the edges like i do with cliamshield? I guess i could use ray's yarn loops or sew it down on the inside layer only. i just don't like to do that, it doesn't look and feel as nice i think.
Edited by MarshLaw303 on 07/21/2008 20:28:19 MDT.
Hey Tim,You should use the prequilt from Thru-hiker. it has a double scrim and is exactly what you are looking for.http://thru-hiker.com/materials/insulation.php
no it is much more than i want. I just want the scrim, not the scrim in addition to the insulation. I am looking for a bag for only the warmest sweaty nights.Tim
Tim,I second Rog's compliments on your quilt. I was impressed when I saw it. I found an old photo of a summer sleeping bag (with me in it) that I made using the row cover about four years ago. It was four layers (outside --> inside): aluminized PE (like heatsheets), 0.3 oz row cover, aluminized PE, and another layer of row cover on the inside, against my skin (it's soft). It was fragile but warm (even through some frost and light snow one night on a grass pile without a pad), and it rolled up to about the size of a heineken can. Polypropylene has both the lowest density and the lowest solid thermal conductivity of any textile fiber, and it's water absorbtion is essentially zero (a little less than polyester and a lot less than nylon). Also, the very tiny fibers in spunbonded polypropylene (less than 1 denier) make for a lot of tiny air spaces, and excellent insulation for the weight. Tensile strength is poor, though, and I've found that it has to be replaced about every year.
i'm going to have to give it a shot. This looks like the perfect option for me.
Tim,I used this during a 10 adventure race in Utah.It's right up your alley of what you're looking for and know stronger and lighter as well.http://www.buckscountyoutfitters.com/store/product/32308/Adventure-Medical-Thermolite-Emergency-Bivy-Sack/
How about just two silk liners , one inside the other ? Franco
Franco:You'd need a knife to escape in the morning!Colin:I like the heat sheet idea. How was it bonded - spray glue?Tim:Don't know the weight, I was going to steal some off one of the statues but my girlfriend shooe'd me away :o)

LINCOLN ŌĆö One by one, Division I squads are coming for Lincoln High, all of them mounting serious challenges.
On Thursday, it was East ProvidenceŌĆÖs turn to put Lincoln through its paces. The Townies did not back down in the slightest, moving to within a run after scoring three times against Lions ace pitcher Lindsay Mayer in the sixth inning.
With the tension mounting at Saylesville Elementary SchoolŌĆÖs Sullivan Field, the defending state champion Lions once again demonstrated that no matter that the the gap between themselves and the rest of the field is narrowing, itŌĆÖs going to take a supreme effort from an opponent to put an end to a winning streak that now sits at 27 consecutive games.
When the smoke cleared and Mayer recorded a strikeout that ended this nailbiting contest with E.P. having the tying run at first base, Lincoln could finally exhale. A 4-3 triumph marked the second time this week that the Lions prevailed in a one-run affair.
Despite the positive outcome, the postgame speech that took place in left field and involved head coach Dick Ryan and his players proved lengthy. For a team that has come to define perfection, Lincoln was in need of a confidence boost.
ŌĆ£Most people donŌĆÖt complain when theyŌĆÖre 5-0; it doesnŌĆÖt sound good,ŌĆØ stated Ryan. ŌĆ£The girls were a little bit down. WeŌĆÖve won 27 games in a row, but theyŌĆÖre tough on themselves.ŌĆØ
The Lincoln players may be their own harshest critics, but the fact that theyŌĆÖve been involved in more close shaves than 10-run mercy rule triumphs demonstrates that unlike a year ago, the rest of the state is vastly improved. East Providence sported a 4-1 record entering Thursday. Had a couple of breaks gone the TowniesŌĆÖ way, Rob Traverse & Co. would have emerged as the toast of the softball community.
Alas, the Lions demonstrated championship mettle at key moments. With the bases chock full of Townies and two down in the fourth inning, Mayer recorded a swinging strikeout. Outfielders Adriana Toro, who finished with two hits, and Casie Beauchemin came through with key defensive plays that went a long way in preventing East Providence from leapfrogging its opponent on the scoreboard.
Toro and Emily Bouthillette got Lincoln off on the right foot, the pair stroking back-to-back RBI doubles in the first inning. The lead grew to 3-0 in the third inning after Mayer connected for a solo home run. The fourth and final run came an inning later when Mayer singled home Kellyn Dyer.
Starring at a 4-0 deficit with the stateŌĆÖs premier pitcher on the mound, East Providence did not flinch, particularly in the wake of letting a key scoring opportunity slip through its grasp. A two-base throwing error by the Lions aided the TowniesŌĆÖ three-run uprising in the sixth, a frame that also saw sophomore Taylor Medeiros connect for a RBI hit.
ŌĆ£That was anybodyŌĆÖs game going into the last inning,ŌĆØ Ryan noted.
Stated Traverse, ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre a complete team and youŌĆÖve got to have your ŌĆśAŌĆÖ game in order to beat them. IŌĆÖm encouraged, but theyŌĆÖve got a lot of answers and they made all the key plays.ŌĆØ
Mayer wasnŌĆÖt her usual dominant self ŌĆō she walked an uncharacteristic six Townies. From her coachŌĆÖs vantage point, thereŌĆÖs a perfectly sound reason why the University of Virginia-bound product was slightly askew.
ŌĆ£LindsayŌĆÖs a little tight right now; her shoulder hasnŌĆÖt loosened up yet,ŌĆØ noted Ryan. ŌĆ£I give her credit; sheŌĆÖs always battling right to the end.ŌĆØ
After the teams went through the postgame handshake line, Traverse made sure to pull Mayer aside.
ŌĆ£I love that sheŌĆÖs unflappable and stoic,ŌĆØ the Townie mentor said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not all that great to be on the other side of it, but sheŌĆÖs fun to watch as she goes about her business. She has natural ability.ŌĆØ

On 7/28 I fractured my fibula.
On 7/30 I was put in an air cast by a nurse practioner and the orthopedist office.
I kept the cast on except for showering for 6 weeks. On 9/10 the cast was removed, the x rays showed healing and I told the nurse practitioner that I was having considerable pain in my ankle.
I went to physical therapy for 3 weeks. The physical therapist said that I was making excellent progress. I was still having increased pain especially at the end of the day.
I saw the nurse practitioner at the orthopedist on 10/6. By now I couldn't sleep at night because of the pain in my ankle.
The nurse practitioner after consulting the doctor gave me a very painful cortisone shot and some pain medication and said it should be resolved in 2 or 3 days.
I found your website and started icing 4 or 5 times and day and ice water dipping 20-40 times a day for the past 5 days. My ankle is marginally better but at days end sore and interrupting sleep.
What now?
Joshua Answers:
Hi Sharon. Thanks for asking. I like 'tough' scenario's to help figure out.
So....what the nurse practitioner really meant to say was that she 'hoped' that it would be resolved in 2-3 days.
Corticosteroid Injections don't fix anything. At best, they get rid of the pain for a while.
So I have some questions:
1. How exactly did you break the fibula?
2. How bad was the fracture?
3. How active are you on your feet historically?
4. Any history

"It was, in a word, surreal" says Head Coach Chris Bates. "It wasn't just our main players but day after day, one guy after another."
Bates feels last year made his players humble and hungry, especially a senior class that has one last chance to lead the program back to Championship Weekend and a seventh National Championship.
"It's a strong, hard-nosed group that sets the tone", says Bates, who is entering his third season at Princeton. The unquestioned leader is defenseman John Cunningham, a two-time captain out of Fairfield Prep, but he is not alone. Fellow defenseman Chad Wiedmaier has an opportunity to become the first Tiger to be First-team All-Ivy for four years and many regard goalie Tyler Fiorito as the best ball stopper in the country.
For all the talent and experience in the senior class, the straw that stirs the drink could be sophomore Tommy Schreiber. The midfielder arrived on Nassau Street with a lofty reputation out of St. Anthony's on Long Island and Bates says Schreiber "was as advertised," leading the Tigers in goals and assists on his way to Ivy League rookie of the year. Bates compares Schreiber to Kobe Bryant in the sense that the bulls-eye is on him but he can't try to do it all by himself. Schreiber's main wingmen will be Tucker Shanley and Jeff Froccaro.
While Bates has a good idea what to expect from his veteran club, Hofstra's Seth Tierney does not. The Pride has made a school record four straight NCAA tournament appearances but must replace leaders Jay Card (182 career points) and Steve DeNapoli. Tierney will hope to get major production from a midfield trio of Steve Serling, Ian Braddish and Mike DeNapoli. Serling was granted a sixth year of eligibility after a spleen injury forced him to miss almost of all last season and Tierney is expecting him to become a take charge kind of guy. "He has the potential to be very good, he is cerebral and fundamentally sound and sometimes has that magic touch."
Hofstra opened up with an 11-9 win over Sacred Heart but Tierney is still more concerned about his own club than facing the Tigers. "Last year, there was a high comfort level with the team. I am not totally comfortable yet this year. We need to gain trust in each other and make sure it's consistent. Now the journey begins. We have good players and we know what they can do, they just haven't done it yet."

The flashback structure and the monotone voiceover narration combine with many darkly lit scenes to make for a plodding, unexciting film that episodically traces Hoover's life from 1919 through 1972. The best scene is the first one, the bombing of attorney general A. Mitchell Palmer's home, because of the impact it has on a young Hoover. But a man with a desk job doesn't provide thrills, though the film's classic movie clips and archival news footage are nicely integrated. In addition, the meticulously constructed office sets create a strong sense of place.
While Eastwood wisely doesn't sensationalize or exploit rumors of Hoover's cross dressing and homosexuality, the film is thoughtful to a fault, lacking in suspense. For example, Hoover rails against Martin Luther King, Jr. receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and surreptitiously sends a letter meant to intimidate King into declining. After King does accept the Prize shown on television, J. Edgar just turns off the TV—poof, tension dissipated. We move on.
Notably, J. Edgar has more than a few parallels to Citizen Kane. There's an egomaniac at its center fixated obsessively on his stern mother, one very present for Hoover. There's an adamant refusal to accept criticism plus a warped moral compass. The plot structure also resonates with similarities, especially the scene when Hoover moves into his office. The blocking of the scene with the movers twice walking through and interrupting Hoover's conversation mirrors Kane moving into his newspaper office.
Of course, the flashback route to explore a major figure is familiar. In the case of Hoover, several agents listen to and record Hoover's recollections providing the viewer a nicely ironic distance. Credit goes to Leonardo DiCaprio who captures Hoover's subtle changes over decades, even under heavy makeup. Credit also the always-amazing Judi Dench as the mother, Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, Hoover's devoted friend, and Naomi Watts as the faithful secretary. So J. Edgar is a mixed bag with meritorious and disappointing elements. At area theaters.

Batten down the hatches and ride out the storm. Anchor yourself and stop rocking the leaky boat.
First thing first. You blew up your marriage ship. It is dead in the water and it is your fault as the WS. There is a life boat. You and your spouse escape the floundering ship in the life boat. Now, there is a storm of the century barreling down on your little life boat and you need to hang on.
1. There is no room in the life boat for the AP/OP/OM/OW. NONE, NO ROOM AT ALL. If you keep them in the life boat with you it is going to sink. If you throw them overboard and keep trying to pull them back in or they keep hanging on the side YOUR BOAT IS GOING TO SINK! The only way to get them out of your life boat is to tell your spouse everything, EVERYTHING. Timelines-to-toenails. Once that is all out in the open all of the extra weight in the boat is gone and you have a chance to survive.
2.Your BS is busy. Your BS is bailing water like mad, trying to keep themselves from drowning in the bottom of the life boat that you have them trapped in. They cant stop bailing during this storm to soothe you, to comfort you, to make sure you are okay. Suck it up, man up, woman up and help bail. They are in the boat with you, as long as they are in the boat with you then you have a chance. You have the chance to save your spouse and yourself. DONT WASTE IT.
3.Your spouse is exhausted. The Storm drops down to a steady rainfall. You are in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. You are both still in the boat. When your spouse cant bail anymore its up to you to save you both, so start cleaning out the bottom of the boat. It will feel like you can ever find the bottom, that the water just keeps rising. KEEP BAILING! Even if your spouse is passed out. YOU HAVE TO KEEP BAILING TO SAVE YOUR LIVES! This life boat is the only chance you are going to get to save your marriage, its small, rickety, and leaking. Despite all of its flaws this life boat is all that is saving you and your spouse.
4. Getting ready to work. The storm has passed, the skies are still overcast, its cold, windy and miserable and you are still stuck in the middle of a turbulent sea with a spouse that doesnt trust you in a leaky, crappy little boat. You cant make your spouse trust you. All you can do is COMMIT to saving yourself and your spouse.
5. Prepare yourself first. Get it clear in your mind that you are in it for the long haul and reassure your spouse that you are not going to leave them alone in the life boat. EVER! You are going to stay in that life boat until your spouse throws you overboard. Tell them that over and over again. Let them know you are working your ass off to keep them safe. Your spouse cant help you. They are exhausted, wounded from the blast, battered by the storm. Asking them to help you would be like asking a Prisoner of War to fight for the country that captured them. It is just wrong. You need to gather yourself together. Rinse off the dirt and grime, find anything useful floating in the water that might help you fix the life boat.
6.Repairing the life boat. You need to find all the tools and material to fix the life boat. You may have to dive to the bottom of the ocean and salvage an old ship wreck. You may have to paddle your life boat around to find flotsam and jetsam to use. Start at the bottom. These tools consists of IC, Books, Self healing, resources such as SI, etc
Use the tools and materials that are at your disposal to clear out all of the murky water and start repairing the floor of the life boat.
7. There is mud, muck, seaweed and dead fish in your boat.
****The dead fish have to go first. They are thoughts of the OP. Why the hell are you missing them? If you miss them so much get a divorce. That is the bottom line. If you leave the dead fish in the boat, all that you are going to get is a life boat that stinks of death, decay and rotten fish. They were a anatomically correct life-sized blow up doll and they used you in the same way. Put them where they belong. Out of your thoughts.
****The seaweed is next. This in the idea that somehow your spouses behavior before the A added to the reasons that you had an affair. Yep, you heard me. The A is 100% you fault. Is 50% part of the overall marital problems his? Nope. If your thinking was messed up and led to you have an Affair, it was and is probably messed up thinking about the dynamic of your marriage. You can become tangled in marital history and lose sight of what you are fighting for, lose your commitment to saving your marriage.
Im not talking about rewriting the marriage history to justify an Affair. Im talking about subconscious blame shifting onto the normal problems that a marriage faces. Like when your husband didnt pay attention to you even when you tried to engage him.
We never talk anymore. you say.
He says, What do you want to talk about?
You say, I dont know. Feeling irritated that he doesnt get it.
He says, Okay, How bout those bears?
You say, Forget it. Disgusted because he is belittling your needs.
He says, Okay. He kisses you and goes back to watching the game.
Now, looking at the above example, this isnt a conversation where blame can be placed. Bad communication, yes. Neglect of affection, No.
*****There are exceptions to this. Alcoholics, Beaters. Notice that I said Normal marital problems.*****
****Muck is a little trickier to clean up. This is inside you. The whys and reasons. Muck is slimy and has a tendency to slip through your fingers. Muck is the guts of your internal issues. Every individual is different, each individual has different issues, be they FOO, SAb, SA, Drugs, Mental disorders
the list is endless. It is your job to find each slippery part inside you. Your BS cant help you do this. It has to be something that you do for yourself and by yourself. You can report it to your spouse or not, depending on what you are comfortable with. If you do share this journey with them make sure that you reassure them with each report that none of your issues have anything to do with them, that they didnt cause the issue, and that you dont expect them to fix it.
****The Mud. The mud has to be rinsed away. This is your self acceptance. Forgiveness if you like. Divine or from the self. Without forgiving yourself you will always feel dirty. I put the Mud last because without doing all of the work if you forgive yourself it is just cheap forgiveness. It is false forgiveness, a lie to yourself to make you feel better and to let yourself off the hook. Real forgiveness requires reflection, exploration of self, an intimacy with yourself, and understanding who you were then is not who you are now. (Changing who you are is more than an idea that you conceptualize, it is consistent action over a substantial time period. You know when you have achieved change when you actively are consistent and it becomes second nature to correct yourself before you step wrong, instead of stepping wrong and then fixing it.)
Your little life boat hits land. Whew, your both on solid ground again
All of the action, change and accomplishments that you have achieved at this point will help you. The sad fact is, all of the change in yourself that you accomplish may not save your marriage. Your spouse may not have waited for you to finish cleaning the boat. They may have jumped into the sea before you were done. They may have swam into the sunset. If that happens, dont give up on yourself. Fixing and finding yourself will keep you afloat even if you are alone. What happens if your spouse has braved this journey with you now is not your choice. Your spouse may choose to walk away. Solid ground does not erase the fact that you blew up the marriage ship to begin with. You owe it to yourself, if your husband, family and marriage is your choice, to commit to your marriage completely from the moment you climbed on board the life boat. You cant take a dip in the sea to test your BS and see if they really want you in the life boat. You have to stay the course. Tie yourself in. Even thinking about abandoning the life boat can sink it. If you are standing there rocking the boat, eventually you are going to fall out or knock your BS out of the boat.
That means DO NOT say:
Get over it.
Its been long enough.
Are you going to punish me forever?
Do you want someone else?
Maybe you dont really want me.
I should just leave because
I cant change who I am
[This message edited by wincings_sparkle at 9:14 PM, May 5th (Wednesday)]
Continued success to you and WAL.
I can see that I am stuck in the mud because I am not done cleaning out the other stuff from the boat. Back to work.
Thanks wincings.....
and i keep on steppin!!!
Fantastic analogy and so easy to understand.
definitely healing library material.

The English National Ballet announced on Monday that next year inaugurates a partnership between the company and London's Sadler's Wells Theatre.
Who would have thought that the English National Ballet would be popular with an early-morning music festival crowd? In past years Glastonbury—a major music festival in England—has experiemented with several different kinds of performances for its Sunday morning slot. This year, the English National Ballet took the stage to perform Akram Khan's Dust, a ballet about women during World War I.
Even ballet fans far from the U.K. know and love longtime English National Ballet star Daria Klimentová. We know her by her dancing, of course: She is supremely elegant, expressive, and precise. During her 25 years with the company, she brought a jewel-like sparkle to nearly every role in the classical repertoire.
It sounds like there's a little turmoil over at the Royal Ballet. The Telegraph has reported that soloist Dawid Trzensimiech left the company for a principal contract at the National Romanian Ballet, citing a "lack of care and coaching." Meanwhile, the Royal's corps de ballet was recently in talks with their union about being overworked. (The compromise resulting from the discussions is a lunch break scheduled into the dancers' days.)
Former Royal Ballet principal Alina Cojocaru surprised the ballet world yesterday with the announcement that she's joining the English National Ballet. Many fans speculate that the move stems from her dissatisfaction at The Royal, which she abruptly left in June, along with on-and off-stage partner Johan Kobborg (who has not yet announced his future plans).
Few topics in the dance world are more fraught than motherhood. No, we're not talking about the dragon mothers on "Dance Moms," but the challenges of balancing pregnancy and parenting with the physical demands of dance. Not only do artists struggle when pregnancy changes their dancer bodies, but the stress and schedule of performing and touring aren't always compatible with parenthood.
English National Ballet has just named Tamara Rojo as it's new artistic director. The 37-year-old Royal Ballet principal will take the reins from Wayne Eagling, who resigned a few weeks ago. Rojo has had her sights set on becoming an artistic director for quite some time—she has a master's degree in scenic arts and has previously shadowed National Ballet of Canada's Karen Kain to gain insight into the position.

Pinterest Adds Analytics. Revenues To Follow?
New tool helps pinners figure how popular they are—or aren't.
Pinterest has launched the Pinterest Web Analytics tool today. This gives Pinterest users a way to track which "pinned" content the social web finds most interesting.
It's a free service for now, and Pinterest explains that it came into existence because "bloggers, businesses, and organizations often ask us, 'what are people pinning from my websites?'"
The analytics tool is an early stage effort to monetize the content-based micro social networking service. Pinterest's blog post even hints at a rapid expansion of this sort of service: "Over the coming months, we hope to add new tools and more detailed insights, so let us know what else you would like to see."
Analytics tools have been used similarly by Twitter and Facebook to propel their social networks into a revenue generating mode, though Facebook suffered a big setback recently when it was revealed that a bug in its code was leading to very misleading reports for its customers.
Does Pinterest have a sustainable future going it alone? Or do you think it'll be snapped up and wrapped into a bigger social network?

I could see Twitter buying Pinterest eventually. They both curate content from around the web, prioritizing the content from people you follow; it's just that one's visual and one's textual. Monetizing such a highly visual site will prove to be difficult and distracting. Sponsored pins/boards? No thanks. Getting a cut from pins that turn into sales? Retailers would be livid.
If they're not purchased by a bigger brand or find an extremely creative way to monetize, Pinterest's life will be cut short.

BILOXI, Miss. - Police say a 46-year-old Louisiana man who traveled to Biloxi to have sex with a child has been arrested on a charge of attempted sexual battery.
The Sun Herald reports Richard Berner of Metairie was taken to the Harrison County jail Wednesday on a $50,000 appearance bond set by Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain.
Sgt. Donnie Dobbs of the Biloxi Police Department says an investigation showed Berner traveled to Biloxi to meet with someone he thought was a mother with a 13-year-old girl so the child could perform oral sex on him.
Dobbs said Berner's arrest was the culmination of a week-long investigation where Berner communicated with undercover officers where he expressed his desire to have sex with a child.
It was unclear whether Berner has an attorney.

Bae Doo-na strips down (again!), dates British co-starWritten by: Tadashi Anahori on April 24, 2013 at 11:32 pm | In Asian Movie Sex Scenes | Discuss (5) »
We've long been a fan of Korean actress Bae Doo-na.
The cutie (33) has been on our screen for years already, including in a couple of Japanese films as well as several major Korean hits.
She is not afraid to strip off either, having shed her clothes for Plum Blossom and Sympathy For Mr Vengeance in some quite explicit sex scenes.
One of her Japanese roles was as a blow-up sex doll, for which she was frequently nude.
Now she is working in America too, with a role as a sexy android in Cloud Atlas, which is adapted from the sprawling novel by formerly Japan-based writer David Mitchell.
It features — you've guessed it — a cyborg sex scene between her and British co-star Jim Sturgess (34), and it's a hot one.
And it seems, we are sad to relate, that Doona and Jim have been taking their rehearsals to heart.
If reports and the press snaps are to be believed, the two are now a couple.

Surprised that she hadn't a boyfriend up to this point, but not so much now that she went to work in Cloud Atlas on the States, as a cutie pie like her is like a rare beautiful flower filled with sweet nectar with hundreds of bees trying to suck on it :3
Hope that Jim guy treats treats her the way she deserves

Damn how could Jim not develop an attraction from doing a sex scene with her on film?

(7:59 p.m. EST) — A crewmember assaulted a woman cruising onboard Holland America Line's Nieuw Amsterdam early Friday morning, the cruise line said. She is in stable condition, according to the line. Holland America says the assailant is under guard on the ship.
Holland America released this statement:
"A 31-year-old female U.S. citizen on board ms Nieuw Amsterdam was assaulted by a crewmember in her cabin early this morning. The female guest was cared for in the ship's hospital and was in stable condition prior to disembarking the ship today in Roatan, Honduras, for air transfer back to the U.S. Holland America Line is providing full support to the woman. We are shocked and deeply saddened by this incident. The safety of our guests is our utmost priority.

As promised Fairygirl my black Calla lily enjoying the sunshine!
Many thanks. Back home from working in Helsinki tomorrow so shall use that as a starting point for closer investigation. I was very doubtful about them being raspberries when my friend brought them to me as I already grow Tayberry, Loganberry and thornless blackberry and there was no similarity!! Looks like a bumper crop this year too if things continue well. Hope I'm off shift in the UK when they ripen - if not I'm sure wife and daughter will tell me how nice they were!!
No thorns so perhaps not Sloe?!
Interesting. Thanks for your feedback. Will ask friend if apple trees next door!
Oops. Or this!! Sorry!
Try this!!
Hope this photo shows it more clearly!!
Hi folks,
any one know what this is? My friend brought some round that had started growing in one of her raised beds and told me she thought they were raspberry plants from her neighbours garden but I have never seen raspberry plants with leaves shaped like that. Any ideas?! Cheers.
Hi Busy-Lizzie I'm viewing this on my iPhone today and if I give a long tap on your photos (not a quick tap which just enlarges the page or a hold down which gives you the option to "save the image" etc) then it enlarges the photo by opening it in another browser page. Very lovely they are too!! I'm after a clematis like that to grow through a lilac tree but I want one that flowers later so that once the lilac had finished flowering the clematis fills it with colour again. I think a white lilac would look great with a contrasting dark clematis like yours.
Fairygirl I will certainly get a photo for you. I'm not back in UK from Finland til next weekend but if Lindsey gets a free minute before then I will get her to email me a pic and post it on here. I chatted to her on video Skype this afternoon and she gave me a quick tour round the garden! Despite the inclement weather everything was looking very bright and healthy if a little windswept.

Basically, i am using SVM for classificiation for images. I used Local Binary pattern for feature extraction. The problem i face is when i apply SVM the pred is always postive. It is not able to detect negative data.Although it shows me the accuracy value, but the pred label is always 1. It is a not able to detect negative data
clear all; clc; load('C:\Users\HP\Documents\MATLAB\TrainLabel'); load('C:\Users\HP\Documents\MATLAB\TrainVec'); cvFolds = crossvalind('Kfold', TrainLabel, 10); cp = classperf(TrainLabel); for i = 1:10 testIdx = (cvFolds == i); trainIdx = ~testIdx; Model = svmtrain(TrainVec(trainIdx,:), TrainLabel(trainIdx), ... 'Autoscale',true, 'Showplot',false, 'Method','QP', ... 'BoxConstraint',2e-1, 'Kernel_Function','rbf', 'RBF_Sigma',1); pred = svmclassify(Model, TrainVec(testIdx,:),'Showplot',false); cp = classperf(cp, pred, testIdx); end cp.CorrectRate cp.CountingMatrix
The values for pred is [1;1;1;1;1;1] but my correctrate is 0.53(53%) and the TrainLabel is <267x1 double> and TrainVec is <267x1495 double>.
Any reason why this is so ? Need some help on it.
No products are associated with this question.
hello , i am also working on the project my project is 2dpca and svm i have completed my pca for feature extraction but could not find any way to complete my svm for classification can u give me an idea of how do i proceed doing svm with feature vector

I love Wag.com! They have good deals and they ship things very quickly! I always get coupon codes to use on their site too. Since December I have received 2 $5 off codes, plus their prices are pretty low.
Thanks Collin! I was on my way out today to get my dog new toothpaste but was able to order it from Wag AND get ear wipes shipped for what I would have paid just for the toothpaste in the store!
Thanks Collin!
Wow, the price of their fit and trim dog food is $8 more than at walmart for the same size bag. I wonder why it's so much more expensive? Oh well, I will stick to walmart for my dogs food. Thanks Collin for everything you do. You are truly amazing :)
Thanks Collin. I was able to get some dog treats and allergy shampoo for my dog.
My dog loves Zuck's Salmon dog treats which start with pure salmon. I usually buy the bag for $10 at a local holistic dog food store, but I just bought it for 5.98 (including shipping) with the coupon code. Pretty Good, THANKS for the code!!
thanks collin! Just grabbed a Kong ball that my dog will love for a better price then what I would have to pay where I live. My doggie thanks you too… LOL
I just placed my first order with Wag.com about a month ago, using a $10 off promo code, and I was really impressed. I ordered two bags of IAMS cat food, and after the $10 off, I paid less than what we pay at PetCo. Best part, it shipped FREE to our house! They even included a bag of cat nip in the package as a bonus. I would definitely order from Wag.com again.
i love wag.com…they had a 50% off promo code about a month ago. It was awesome…27 pounds of Iams cat food was only $24.00 shipped to my house! Shipping is super fast too
Wow, that's awesome! Did they email you the code or what, and was it only for first time customers? I don't think I've received an email on that, but that is an excellent price.
I just got some $10 clippers I needed for my dog for half the price and shipped to my door. Thanks so much Collin :)
If you meant nail clippers, I can forget that deal.
My chihuahua would bite the heck out of me if I try to clip her nails myself LOL!
She is a stinker about that-have to make a visit to the tech at the Vets office.
Thanks! Just got a great deal on dry Wellness puppy food. Besides the $10 off code there was also an ecoupon for $4 off making my total $15 cheaper than at the store plus free shipping :) Love it thanks again!
Thanks for the heads up on this great deal! I'm a new Wag.com customer. I just adopted a new puppy and we are taking training classes. I purchased the Chuck It Treat Tote and Bil-Jac dog treats. The order came to 10.98 + 4.99 shipping. I used the WAGTENBUCKS promo code and all I paid was 5.97! I needed to get one of these treat totes anyway. It's like getting a great deal on the tote and getting the treats for free! Yay!
They have great prices on Nylabones! I just got a XL chew shipped to my house for $4.99. These same bones are $15 at Petsmart. They're on sale for $9.99 on Wag.com. GREAT DEAL! Thanks, Collin!
BTW … The only thing that I didn't like about my order on Wag.com was that I could not choose the color that I wanted. They pick the color for you. :( I hope I get red. :)
I got my puppy some food for a couple bucks less than Walmart and I didn't have to leave my house :) Love that!
Just ordered a 52.99 bag of dog food for 42.99. Free shipping, AND I don't have to drive 30 miles round trip, not to mention all my impulse purchases while in the store. SCORE! Thanks Colin!
Oh yea, I went through ebates, and got 4% back. Whoot!
Hi Collin,
I picked up 3 rib bones and a 3.5 pound bag of treats for just a little over $10 with your coupon!!! My Zoey will be thrilled when she sees her new treats!!!
I got 3 dogs toys and added some keurig k-cups cups from Soap.com to get the free shipping and got the 10 dollars off… I paid $31 for 48 k-cups ($29) and 3 dog toys ($12 for all 3).
I got a bag of dog food and a dog toy for my baby boy! He will love and it was free plus $4.99 shipping! I usually pay much more just for a bag of food. Thanks! :)
I got 2 xl dog bones $9.98 (free after code), then at soap.com I got 10ct spongebob bandaides (free after $1.50 ecoupon), tide free and clear 2x (used $2 ecoupn) $7.40, axe invisile solid ($1 ecoupon) $3.45, 2 johnson & johnson gauze pads ($3 ecoupon) $0.18, and 6 boxes of gluten free noodles for $11.98….total was $23.01 with free shipping. I also used ebates for 4% cashback. Thanks!!
Thanks for the great post! I just ordered 2 new chew toys for our new puppy:)
I got snacks for my dog. I tried to sign my mother up and send her some treats for her dog and the site wouldn't let me use the $10 off code even though I used my mother's email address, home address, phone number and credit card; all different from mine. I think this is ridiculous.
I've had trouble with this company excepting a code. It said I'd already used it, but I hadn't. I cleared my cache (for my Mac) and the code worked after that. Maybe it would work if you cleared your history out. I love this company so I hope you get it to work for your mom's order.
Thanks so much Collin, I was able to get the following & just paid shipping:
Kong Kong Kitten Mice $4.99
Hello Kitty 10 ct band aids FREE
Zoo Meds Betta Plant $2.99
Tetra Betta Plus $1.95
The kind of food I buy my dogs (Bil-Jac) is $15 more on wag.com than in my local pet supply stores! Whoa. So I'm going to try to find some other smaller items…
Personalized dog tag $23
Hello Kitty Bandaids 1.49
First Aid Butterfly closures 1.70
Total $26.10
Less coupons -3.19
Less WagBUCKS code -10
Less credit received for inconvenience of website error -$10
Shipping was $2.99
Total OOP was $5.99
Yeah me
It says 4 sites/1 cart, and yet I have 2 different carts — one with merchandise from soap.com and one with merchandise from wag.com. How do I merge my carts?
I sent an email, and Derek from soap.com responded immediately and fixed my issue. Great customer service!
Off topic, but I have a $10 off any $35 purchase at American Eagle / Aerie / 77 Kids. The code is 10034208495386500870. It can be combined with the discount on the clearnace, but it expires TONIGHT. Hope someone gets to use it!
For those who have dogs that love to fetch, the Chuck it launcher is on sale for 9.79, free after the code. $4.99 for a chuck it launcher is an incredible deal figuring they are at least $13 at target, and much more at the other pet stores.
also 2 chuck it balls are on sale (med size – regular size) for 6.79 for two. order two and get them both for under $10. Amazon sells these for at least $10 for two, and target sells them here for 10.79 for two. so its almost like buy one get one free!
I also love wag.com. their stuff comes in the cutest box (not a plain brown box), and they always include a treat sample.
Got 3 boxes of Nathan's Hot Dog Treats – Beef Flavored for $6.96 shipped! Amazon has them for $3.24 each. Great deal since I didn't have to go to the store to get the treats.
Thanks Collin! I was able to get some filter media for my fish tank for much less than I would have had to pay anywhere else. Plus I was able to use 2 coupons and score free band aids and gauze pads!
Picked up a 6 month supply of frontline plus – for way less than our local feed store. Thanks!!
Yeah – I just got 2 bags of cat food, a tube of lotion, hello kitty band-aids, and first aid tape for $30!! Less than I would have paid for 2 bags of cat food alone!
Thank you! I missed out on this the last time but took advantage of it this time & got some free Band-Aids and gauze too! Those should come in handy as I try to tame/train the feral cat I took in! :)
I had trouble with my cart. The $10 coupon applied and then I decided to add something else to my cart and then it said I already used my code! I called and a very nice customer service man actually answered this late at night and he fixed my cart and checked me out. $10.97 for Olay Soap with Shea, 3 boxes of Band-Aids, 3-pk Ivory Soap and 7 Lb bag of Meow Mix. :)
I have never ordered from here and was thinking about it. what coupons are you guys using for band aids and gauze and stuff? can you use regular coupons from the paper? I didn't think you could.
They are electronic coupons. You check mark the coupon box before you put the item in your cart.
Wohoo! I got the Natures Miracle Stain & Odor Removal, 32oz for $4.99 (was $9.99 so got it free just paid shipping). I normally paid 12.99 at PetSmart for i!
My dog, the mighty Spartacus, (20 lb. Cairn Terrier) eats Natural Balance. Its cheaper on Wags.com, but you have to purchase $49 worth of stuff for free shipping (without free shipping, it costs more.) I wish some of the promos where for existing customers.
I got 2 17.5 lbs bags of Iams minichunks food for my 3 chihuahuas. I also got a pooper scooper so I don't have to turn a plastic bag inside out anymore lol. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this deal! We just got a new puppy last week and I haven't bought him a bed yet. I just saved $10 on a bed making my total, with the $2.99 shipping I had to pay, $15.98! I also grabbed the free band-aids and gauze pads. Thanks again!
Cool! I was just going to get my dog another jolly ball, because she loves them, but wags actually sells Taste of the Wild! $37 and free shipping, where I spend $45 at the feed store. Another two months of food for my 90lb GSD. (she would have liked the ball better; kibble is so blah..)

What in tobacco smoke is harmful?
How many people use tobacco?
Cigarette smoking has decreased among adults in the United States from about 42% of the population in 1965 to about 18% in 2012 (the latest year for which numbers are available).But it's still the most common form of tobacco use in the US: about 42 million (somewhat fewer than1 in every 5) adults currently smoke cigarettes. About 21% of men and 16% of women were cigarette smokers in 2012. Education is linked to smoking rates, with lower smoking rates in groups with higher levels of education. More people smoke cigarettes in the Midwest (21%) and South (20%), and fewer smoke in the West (14%).
Tobacco use does not end with cigarettes; other forms of tobacco use are common. In 2013, a survey by the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration reported that 13.4 million people smoked cigars, and 2.5 million people smoked tobacco in pipes. The same survey reported 9 million people used smokeless or spit tobacco.
Is tobacco use common among young people?
Yes. Tobacco use, including smoking cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, and hookahs, as well as using chew or spit tobacco such as snus and snuff, is common among American youth, according to the most recent government surveys.
Despite declines in recent years, in 2012 nearly 1 in 4 male high school students (23%) and nearly 1 in 5 female high school students (18%) were found to be current users of some type of tobacco.
Nearly 1 in 7 students (14%) were considered current cigarette smokers. Typically, about half of these students report that they've tried to quit smoking during the past year.
Cigar smoking was also common among high school students (about 8% of females and 17% of males). Even though flavorings are no longer allowed in cigarettes, "little cigars" (which often look like brown cigarettes) are sold in candy and fruit flavors that appeal to youth.
Also in 2012, about 7% of middle school students used some form of tobacco, with cigarettes (nearly 4%) being the most common. Almost 3% had smoked cigars.
In both middle school and high school, tobacco use was higher among male students for all products.
Behavioral problems have also been linked to smoking. Studies have shown that students who smoke are also more likely to use other drugs, get in fights, carry weapons, try to kill themselves, and take part in risky sex.

I chose to study at LUMS, as I received positive recommendations from alumni and the Accounting and Finance Department is one of the best in the UK. I really enjoyed learning many useful skills during the programme and talking with my lecturers about my research ideas. After graduation, I plan to do a PhD in LUMS.

Apart from the immense prestige of LUMS' academic excellence and its top ranked position in Europe and worldwide, Lancaster's fascinating historic origins and the vibrant city itself contributed to my decision of studying here. I enjoyed the multiple opportunities I was given to learn how to work with people from different backgrounds and cultures. Both professors and staff members impressed me with the ability to answer all my questions and concerns. I am confident that this Master's programme provided me with the required knowledge which will make me stand out from the crowd.

I chose LUMS because it has achieved a tremendous success despite being a relatively young university and provides a great study environment that allows you to focus and prosper. I especially enjoyed the challenging assignments and great lectures. During the course of my studies, I have been at four universities in four different countries in and outside Europe and I can say without a moment of doubt that Lancaster is the best!

Do the milkshake the milkshake do the shake
As part of the whole cross-compatibility thing, Sony has been working to make a bunch of oldschool PS1 games playable on the handheld PlayStation Vita, via Firmware 1.80. The first batch are out today, and there's a slight difference between those available for North America and the ones published in Europe.
Don Mesa, Director, Handheld Consoles Product Planning and Platform Software Innovation at SCEA explains:
We are working hard to ensure that all of your favorite PS one Classics titles will be available for download directly on your PS Vita via PlayStation Store (PS Store) as soon as possible.
The story goes: If you've already purchased these games, you'll be able to re-download them directly from your PS Store account, or transfer them from your PS3 to your Vita without paying a cent.
...but perhaps Americans aren't so fond of PS1 Classic titles, as they're only receiving nine games:
Some gamers read as far as Final Fantasy VII, wet their pants, and didn't care about the rest. For people who are fans of things other than JRPGs, the list is a little disappointing.
It gets even more painful when you take a look at the list of games European audiences are receiving with the same 1.80 firmware update:
The news from Sony is that the North American update is just the first instalment, but local gamers are less-than-thrilled.
If you live outside of both the United States and Europe, the situation is potentially worse, because we're not entirely sure just what you'll be getting. Stay by your consoles and check out firmware update 1.80 - hopefully the Sony fairies are generous.
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

My four years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus were the happiest of my life.
After years of working in the private and public sector, I wanted to say thank you to the state and institution that gave so much to me and my family.
This university has shaped the lives of millions of students and enriched our state and, indeed, the world in so many wonderful ways.
This facility will be part of the campus for many years to come. But it is only a small piece of the beautiful tapestry that the University of Wisconsin offers its students, the city of Madison and the entire state.

Beach & Clarridge Soda Flavor Stoneware Jug
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $95.00
- Quantity Available: 1
This is an excellent 1 gallon stoneware jug from Boston, Massachuettes. It is from Beach & Clarridge Company, who were manufacturers of fruit flavors for sodas. The well known house of Beach & Clarridge has the largest factory devoted exclusively to the manufacture of soda water flavors according to the 1894 Merck Market Report and Pharmaceutical report. The two partners, H. Cleveland Beach and George F. Clarridge, formed a stock company in June of 1893. The number of flavors made for use at the soda water counters was bewildering. This firm alone manufactured over 200 flavors, from which, by combination, nearly 1,000 different drinks could be produced. this jug is in excellent condition with no crazing or cracks. It has one very small chip on the lip of the opening as shown in the pictures. What looks like another chip on the rim of the jug in the brown area is actually a spot of the tan material of the jug that was not completely covered by the brown glaze and is not a chip.

very sweet story
although at first I was put off by the way overused "black sheep" cliche, it turned out very nice. I was willing to overlook this because it's a kids story/flash and kids stories need conventions. Very good :)

SGA Officer Training
The newly elected SGA officer team attended the annual Officer Training Retreat in Norman, Arkansas on June 22-23, 2012. Advisors, Sue Burris and Melony Ritter, organized the event to help orient the student leaders in their new roles.
This year's agenda included leadership and team building exercises, communication styles, parliamentary procedures training, and planning activities for the year. Attending the event were SGA President, Lee Walden; SGA Vice President, Matt Chaput; SGA Secretary, Angelina Henry; SGA At-Large Representatives, Marci Fortanelli and Sandra Rogers.
SGA President, Lee Walden shared:
"The SGA Officers' Retreat was not only an extremely productive opportunity to prepare for the upcoming year's business but also proved exceptionally developmental. We were able together to ink a budget, calendar of events, agenda for the first Student Assembly, and Requisition for Funding for student organizations to petition SGA. Bringing the team together by exploring our different personality types, improving our listening skills, discovering effective conflict/conflagration resolution, and sharing ourselves was certainly beneficial to creating a respectful, high functioning group. We look forward to a challenging year of growth as we bring the students' government to them, increasing awareness of the benefits of lending amplification to their voice on campus while improving their experience in every way possible. We welcome all to participate in making the National Park College experience one of success, fun, and growth. We offer an open invitation to the NPC family to join us as we serve, empower, and engage students this year!"
The SGA board members concluded the retreat by calling a special meeting to approve the proposed budget and calendar for the 2012-2013 academic year. For more information about NPC Student Government Association, please visit www.np.edu/students/sga, or contact SGA President, Lee Walden at firstname.lastname@example.com.
