Senate DFL Caucus files action over ad spending
Campaign Finance officials cited treasurer error as a contributing factor to a claim filed by the Senate DFL Caucus against Senate District 39 Republican candidate Karin Housley for filing a false campaign finance report.
Housley said the wrong report from July was filed online, and she expects the complaint to be dropped today.
"If Mike Kennedy (of the Senate DFL Caucus) had checked the report, he would have realized that it was the report from July," Housley said. "If he had bothered to check, the correct one has been posted online. I think they were looking for something to attack quickly It was a media move."
Campaign Finance Executive Director Gary Goldsmith said that he could not confirm or deny that the complaint against Housley would be dropped, and would know more late today. He did say that the July report was accidentally filed and that treasurer error was to blame. He added that the correct report from Housley's campaign was immediately posted online early this morning.
"The original reports posted were identical to the primary election numbers that were certified back in July," Goldsmith said. "The treasurer had created a pre-general election report back in July without the added re-creation that was posted online. I have discussed it with the treasurer and she agreed that that was what happened, though she had added the changes on her end she missed a step with the software and incorrectly reported it."
Mike Kennedy of the Senate DFL Caucus said in his original complaint that he had concerns about an ad in City Pages, and a truck that has a billboard ad that weren't reported.
Housley said she had included her City Pages ad and truck cost in her October filing.
Kennedy said at the time of publication the Senate DFL Caucus had just received Housley's new report and were looking through it.
"We're likely to amend our complaint and still follow through with it," he said. "Frankly, we don't believe that she's reported all her campaign expenditures and believe there's still a tale to tell with regards to her vehicle she's been using for her campaign. We believe that is a corporate contribution."
Housley is running against Democrat and former state House representative Julie Bunn for the state Senate seat left vacant when former state Sen. Ray Vandeveer of Forest Lake opted not to seek another term for health reasons.

A 4-year-old girl was fatally shot inside a car Saturday night in northwest Miami-Dade, according to NBC News.
The victim, identified as Rahquel Carr, was reportedly sitting in a parked Mercedes-Benz with several other small children just after 6 p.m. when she was shot in her upper body. Police said the young child was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
While authorities continue to investigate the cause of the shooting, police have confirmed that a six-year-old boy was holding the weapon after the incident. There is no word on if he fired the fatal shot.
Police said at least one adult was nearby at the time of the shooting.
"We will be looking at who this firearm belonged to, were the firearm was in the vehicle at the time, along with who was present when the gun was fired," said Miami-Dade Police spokesman Det. Roy Rutland.

Populate A Second DropDownList Based On A Selected Value From Other DropDownList
Jun 23, 2010
I'm trying to link two dropdownlist depending on the value you select from the first dropdownlist. What I want to do is select a value from the first dropdownlist and depending on its value show some options in the second dropdownlist. I try doing this:
1-when the OnChange event of the first dropdownlist occurs, I call a javascript that redirects to a method in a controller (for example: index/mainController/firstMethod/selectedValue).
2-the method in the controller using the url helper extracts the "selectedValue" to do a database search of the value of the second dropdownlist.
3-the same method loads the view (the one that have the ddl)
Doing this I lose the selected value of the first ddl. I think this is not the right way to do it.

Saint Joseph's College students are welcome at The Woods
February 7th, 2017 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) welcomes students from Saint Joseph's College (SJC)as part of its Woods' family as on campus or online students immediately. SWMC offers an expedited admission process for all SJC transferring students.
"The Saint Joseph's students have a home at The Woods. SMWC is committed to making the student's transfer experience as seamless as possible," said Brennan Randolph, vice president for enrollment. "We recognize that this is a difficult time for these students and we will do everything we can to help them achieve their on-time graduation goals."
The SMWC team will help transferring students build on their educational achievements by designing a plan of study in line with the Catholic education they experienced at SJC. SMWC has several scholarships available and will provide SJC students with an attractive and comparable scholarship package.
Founded by Indiana's Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has a 177-year legacy as a Catholic college that has embodied a spirit of student-centered academic innovation, faith and leadership. The College expanded its mission to include men in all programs two years ago, becoming a fully coeducational institution.
SMWC empowers students to think critically, engage in lifelong leadership, and effect positive change in a spirit of service and social responsibility. The College is located on a beautiful and majestic campus in west central Indiana and offers 25 majors, delivered both on campus and online.

Increasing live and feeder cattle prices, lower feed costst and green pastures across the Great Plains have cattle producers interested in herd rebuilding following consecutive years of drought.
The previous two years of dry weather in most cattle-producing states dropped cattle herds to their lowest levels in 60 years. As corn prices fall below five dollars and grazing pastures remain green through August, cattle producers are ready to talk about adding more cattle to their operations.
The return of rain this summer has done more than keep pastures green, ponds are filling up, too. According to the Associated Press, the weather change has shifted producers' outlook, but many are still waiting to make the commitment. One Kansas cattleman was forced to decreased his herd by 40 percent because of the drought and admitted it will take three years or more to come back from that decline.
"We have had enough rain to at least change our attitude," said Kansas cattleman Ken Grecian said. "We are not out of the woods by any means, but we are green again."
Grecian told the Associated Press restoring resources is as important to managing his operation as adding more animals.
Data from the USDA show inventories may still be falling in 2013. The August Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook shows lower inventories are expected in the January 1, 2014 cow inventories. A survey of analysts by LMIC shows some variation with expectations for replacement heifers ranging from a slight decline to an increase.
Further north, some Minnesota cattlemen have gone without precipitation, forcing them to take a different approach to herd management. While crop producers in some parts of the state are anticipating their second-largest corn crop in state history, cattle producers in central and eastern Minnesota are thinning herds to reduce costs.
The Associated Press reports pastures, hay fields and crop fields are dry without significant rainfall for several weeks.

KASHIMA, IBARAKI PREF. – J.League champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima gave themselves the mental edge for the stretch run of the season with a resounding 3-1 victory over Kashima Antlers in the Emperor's Cup round of 16 on Saturday.
Sanfrecce rode Japanese international Yojiro Takahagi's first-half brace to reach the Dec. 22 quarterfinals after a teasing preview of the matchup on the final weekend of the J.League.
Third-place Sanfrecce and fourth-place Antlers meet again at Kashima Stadium on Dec. 7. The top four teams, with Yokohama F.Marinos on top and Urawa Reds in second, are separated by just three points with three games left to play.
Tsukasa Shiotani also netted for Hajime Moriyasu's side, which has yet to lift the cup since the J.League was launched two decades ago.
"If my memory serves correct, I don't think I've had two goals in one game since we were still in J2," said Takahagi, whose side will face either Ventforet Kofu or the second division's Consadole Sapporo in the next round.
"We didn't prepare any differently for this game than we normally do. We see the Emperor's Cup and the league as two entirely different competitions, but it can be tricky to play the same team twice in such a short space of time."
"What we wanted to do was come here and play well enough to give ourselves the psychological advantage for the next time we face them."
The Emperor's Cup will have new champions in the last New Year's Day final at the existing National Stadium after holders Kashiwa Reysol were stunned 1-0 by relegated Oita Trinita, who won it in the 91st minute through substitute Hironori Nishi in the neutral venue of Okayama.
Oita play either Marinos or amateur outfit AC Nagano Parceiro in the quarters.
Vegalta Sendai also advanced with a 1-0 away win to Shimizu S-Pulse, North Korean international Ryong Yang Gi scoring the lone goal eight minutes from time.
Hiroshima had an unexpected, lopsided lead after a clumsy first half marred by the poor decision-making of young referee Takuto Okabe.
Sanfrecce goalkeeper Takuya Masuda probably should have been sent off in the 11th minute as he nailed Davi on the edge of his box with the Brazilian appearing to be the last man out.
Kashima lucked out in the 39th minute, when Hiroshima winger Mihael Mikic had a clear run toward the goal but was tripped up by defender Kazuya Yamamura, who was only given a yellow for the offense.
Takahagi opened the scoring after 28 minutes, mopping up the deflection of a Naoki Ishihara effort to hit past Hitoshi Sogahata from close range.
The visitors doubled their advantage four minutes before the break from a Takahagi 20-meter free kick, which ricocheted off the wall to Kazuyuki Morisaki.
Morisaki picked out Shiotani unmarked inside the area, and Shiotani did well to hold his nerves by firing in Hiroshima's second with authority.
Sanfrecce weren't done for the half, however, as Takahagi made it 3-0 in the first minute of injury time from the edge of the six-yard box, captain Hisato Sato setting up the goal with a header for the far post following a Mikic cross.
The hosts had no choice but to push up in the second half, and 20-year-old right-back Yukitoshi Ito pulled one back in the 79th minute with his maiden strike for the storied club.
Yet four-time winners Antlers would not get any closer as Sanfrecce managed the game well the rest of the way, booking a spot in the last eight.
"It's nice to know we'll be playing deeper into December now," Moriyasu said. "Kashima have won all the titles and their players know what it takes to win any tournament, so beating a club like them gives us a lot of confidence."
"But this win doesn't guarantee anything for when we play them again next month. The lineups will be different, the tactics will be different and we need to bear that in mind."

SANTA ANA – A Fountain Valley woman was sentenced Friday to 10 years and four months in prison for her role in a machete attack on her third husband in which his nose was nearly slashed, one of his thumbs and two fingers were severed, and his skull fractured.
Among other reasons, Mary Katheryn Sharpski, 50, wanted her husband of 18 years killed so she could start a new life with her lover and because of his emotional and physical abuse of their children, Deputy District Attorney Lynda Fernandez said.
Sharpski pleaded guilty in October to attempted murder and mayhem for hiring a hit man to try to kill Frank Richard Sharpski.
He was seriously injured March 3, 2008, when he was slashed by a man in black clothing. Fernandez contended that Mary Sharpski conspired with her boyfriend, Michael Calvin Shores II, an unemployed security guard, to murder her husband so they could move to Wyoming and live together.
The pair promised Antonio Cinco Ortega, a close friend of Shores and a butcher at a Huntington Beach grocery store, $5,000 to kill Frank Sharpski, Fernandez argued.
Ortega, Shores and Mary Sharpski were first tried together on attempted murder, mayhem and conspiracy to commit murder in 2011, but that jury could not reach unanimous verdicts. Ortega's case was then separated and he was retried and convicted. He is serving 25 years to life in prison.
Prosecutors agreed to dismiss the conspiracy count against Sharpski, and she pleaded guilty to the other two counts.
"The negotiated disposition is a fair disposition for her role in the crimes," said Fernandez following the sentencing by Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey, who previously ruled inadmissible a videotaped confession by Sharpski to police.
In a victim-impact statement submitted to the court and written by someone else for him, Frank Sharpski said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, is in pain and is able to walk limited distances using a walker, Fernandez said.
"Mary Sharpski's actions have changed my life and my children's lives forever," Frank Sharpski said in the statement. "I'll never be able to have freedom from my injuries and disability."
Mary Sharpski has been in custody since April 2009 and as part of the negotiated plea agreement did not receive any credit for time served.
A pretrial hearing for Shores is set for December.

Freshman year, I needed a gym class. I'd done gymnastics, but Wheaton didn't offer that, so I picked "Modern Jazz Dance" instead. I'd never studied dance before. It was fun, and I did OK.
Sophomore year, I auditioned for the Wheaton Dance Company, and made it. The first day of rehearsal, our director, Cheryl Mrozowski, lined us up along the back of the room and led us through a ballet barre. I'd heard of barre before—it involved things like knee bends and going up on your toes. I was sure I'd be fine.
I was wrong. Barre was the worst thing that had happened to my 19-year-old body. By the end of the first week, I looked like I'd been in a car accident, with bruises all over my legs, hands and (inexplicably) torso. There was this one move—frappé it's called—which in the rest of life means "yummy cold beverage," but in ballet terms means "kick yourself repeatedly, as fast as you can, until the music ends." I flapped and flailed. But these embarrassing times at the barre didn't make me want to quit dance —they made me want to conquer it. [Read more...]

The Chinese are also delighted with them and issued a fascinating game,the name of which is in three words: Gang, Threat Ardor, the first letters of which resemble well-known GTA very much. And here we have a fake, but it seems to be of the high quality. The graphic design is not bad. The game provides you with an impressive amount of possibilities, as well as a great soundtrack.

Food Relocalization for Environmental Sustainability in Cumbria
In the past decade, many European farmers have adopted less-intensive production methods replacing external inputs with local resources and farmers' skills. Some have developed closer relations with consumers, also known as short food-supply chains or agro-food relocalization. Through both these means, farmers can gain more of the value that they have added to food production, as well as greater incentives for more sustainable methods and/or quality products, thus linking environmental and economic sustainability. These systemic changes encounter difficulties indicating two generic needs—for state support measures, and for larger intermediaries to expand local markets. The UK rural county of Cumbria provides a case study for exploring those two needs. Cumbria farmers have developed greater proximity to consumers, as a means to gain their support for organic, territorially branded and/or simply 'local' food. This opportunity has been an incentive for practices which reduce transport distances, energy costs and other inputs. Regional authorities have provided various support measures for more closely linking producers with each other and with consumers, together developing a Cumbrian food culture. Going beyond the capacity of individual producers, farmer-led intermediaries have maintained distinctive product identities in larger markets including supermarket chains. Although Cumbria's agro-food relocalization initiatives remain marginal, they counteract the 1990s trend towards delocalization, while also indicating potential for expansion elsewhere.

Diamondbacks Sink the Pittsburgh Pirates in Weekend Series With Back-to-Back Shutouts
Max Scherzer showed off his Pirate-killing skills in yesterday's 9-0 blowout.
Max Scherzer might as well start calling himself Jack Sparrow, since the Diamondbacks pitcher was cutting down Pirates left and right during yesterday's 9-0 shutout over Pittsburgh at Chase Field. Instead of using ye olde cutlass, however, he was doing it with his 94-mile-per-hour four-seamers and sliders, dispatching Bucs batters with on-target tossing and totaling 85 strikes out of the 109 pitches he threw during seven scoreless innings.
Truth be told, the entire D-Backs roster caught fire over the weekend, resulting in back-to-back blankings of Pittsburgh and allowing them to secure the four-game series. The pitching? As noted, it was fantastic. The bullpen? Equally competent, for a change. And the hitting? It was downright explosive, fueled by a non-stop stream of doubles and triples.
Stephen Drew and Gerardo Parra began the scoring parade in the first, plonking a couple of two-basers to generate a run, while Ryan Roberts launched a RBI double in the following frame to bring in Josh Whitesell. Justin Upton provided a monster hit in the third, only to be upstaged by Mark Reynolds' two-out, two-run homer. Miguel Montero continued his nine-game hitting streak with a ribbie single in the seventh, adding some extra juice to the inevitable debate concerning whether he should be replaced by Chris Snyder once the rehabbing Snyder returns from the minors next month.
Montero also came up big on Saturday, nailing a pair of RBI doubles to help the Snakes blast the Buccos 7-0. J-Up also earned his paycheck (and then some) with three different two-base shots to bring in runs. Starter Doug Davis had a busy evening on the mound, slaying such Pirates as Jack Wilson and Andrew McCutchen in what quite possibly could be his final appearance in Sedona red (as it's widely speculated that the lefty might be dealt away sometime before this week's trading deadline).

Both contests were a joy to watch, but should be considered nothing but enigmas or a short vacation from reality. Most teams in the bigs have battered Pittsburgh like a red-headed stepchild this season, transforming from zeroes into heroes.
"What you saw this afternoon does not happen very often ," one KTAR sports commentator stated on Sunday.
No shit.
In fact, Friday's 10-3 loss was more demonstrative of Arizona's current state, as evidenced by the 2-0 lead the D-Backs blew after Yusmeiro Petit and the rest of the pitching staff gave up both hits and runs to the likes of Dewlyn Young and Garrett Jones.
The Snakes now go from one of the worst teams in the National League to one of the best in the Philadelphia Phillies. Even if the defending World Series champions don't wind up grabbing sought-after Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, they're still a formidable force to be reckoned with and are currently the hottest team in baseball. The Phightin' Phils (56-40) have won nine of their last 10 games (including a pair of drubbings to the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend) and lead the league in batting with such supersize sluggers as Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino.
The probable pitchers for the three-game series at Chase Field are as follows:
Tonight, 6:40 p.m.: Jon Garland (5-9, 4.41) versus Jamie Moyer (9-7, 5.65).
Tuesday, 6:40 p.m.: Dan Haren (10-5, 2.14) versus TBD.

President Gonzales started off the final "Meeting with the President" of the Spring 2014 by asking how Uvalde students how they enjoyed the "Grill with the President" event held the week prior. Students responded enthusiastically, with one student suggesting that SWTJC feature the Grill-Off every semester!
Suggestions, by student attendees, of other activities included "anything involving food," sports events, job fairs, and any events involving instructors. Several students emphasized the need for events to occur during a period where no classes are held, or through the whole day – many agreed that one of the big factors in attendance is whether students have classes during an event.
One student asked about whole-campus wi-fi. SWTJC Eagle Pass is 100% wifi enabled, Del Rio is partially enabled, and Uvalde is only covered outdoors. The SWTJC IT Department has plans to make all three campuses fully wireless-capable.
The conversation took a serious turn, when a work-study student asked how SWTJC determines tuition costs. Dr. Gonzales explained that SWTJC first looks at what nearby competitors (other colleges like SWTJC) charge for tuition, and then tries to keep out-of-district costs lower so that students living in the SWTJC region will get the best value by attending SWTJC. Another contributing factor to tuition costs is SWTJC's practice of keeping tuition static for three years. Many colleges increase tuition every year; SWTJC tries not to do that.
President Gonzales noted that SWTJC has suffered from decreased state funding (as have all colleges in Texas) as well as reduced enrollment. Rather than trying to make up the lost money by increasing tuition, SWTJC has been cutting costs in other areas. To counter the effects of low enrollment, President Gonzales explained, "we are working on better recruiting of new students and better retention of existing students."
Several students asked about ways to pay for tuition. This part of the conversation was largely student-led as multiple students asserted that EVERYONE should apply for financial aid. Even in the unlikely event that a student does not qualify for any financial aid awards, one participant explained, almost all students qualify for low-interest student loans from the federal government. But to have access to any of that, students must complete a FAFSA. Dr. Gonzales added that a second round of scholarship applications will open in August 2014.
The group returned to the topics of enrollment, retention, and a positive campus environment. One student indicated that he very rarely participated in campus events when he first started at SWTJC because he never knew when or where they were occurring. Dr. Gonzales and Director of Student Engagement and Success Randa Schell both responded to that comment, explaining that advisors and instructors were getting better at communicating campus events. Other students chimed in, indicating they would like to get the information from other students, as well. Students also identified Orientation as an opportunity for the college to be more engaged and generate more excitement about SWTJC.
Two students presented compelling evidence of the need for increased maintenance at the Uvalde dorms. President Gonzales responded with a commitment to investigate the matter further and remedy any outstanding issues. He encouraged both the two presenting students and all other students in attendance to be proactive in improving all aspects of student life, including student engagement opportunities, activities, and student success.
Dr. Gonzales closed with a charge to student attendees: "Don't wait for these meetings to start a conversation."

George Bailey looking forward to first Ashes Test experience at the Gabba
George Bailey hopes to enjoy his first Ashes experience and start a successful career in international five-day cricket.
Last Updated: 17/11/13 2:23pm
Bailey arrives in the Australia Test ranks relatively late in life, at the age of 31, and he will fill the vital No 6 role when the first Test starts in Brisbane on Thursday.
He knows plenty about international cricket from his time captaining Australia in the limited overs and Twenty20 formats, but knows a slow start could see his Test career be short and less than sweet, much like his good friend Rob Quiney.
Quiney struggled on his debut tour in South Africa and has since dropped way down the pecking order and Bailey has leant on him, and other team-mates, to try and forge some idea of what is ahead for him.
"Having been around this side for a little bit I know what it's like but I think this build-up is going to be completely different so there's a sense of anticipation there and not really sure what it's all going to be like," Bailey said.
"But I've had the chance to talk to Bobby Quiney and Wadey and Xavier Doherty over the last few days and the overriding thing from them is just been to make sure you enjoy it and sometimes in these situations you have to remind yourself of that because there's a lot going on."
Bailey made a few starts playing for Victoria against Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield, a game in which Quiney shone, but he is happy to have adjusted back to playing red-ball cricket again.
Pretty good
"I've felt pretty good the last couple of games. Obviously it's going to be a pretty different wicket, the Gabba wicket compared to the two we've played on where bowleds and lbws were the preferred mode of dismissal, so it will be good to get on something with more bounce," he added.
"I've enjoyed having a couple of games and getting in nets and getting used to different tempo, that's as big an adjustment as anything, but it was nice to play those games.
"I'm still feeling really good, a bit frustrated I haven't been able to go on with starts but in terms of how I'm feeling and hitting the ball, couldn't be happier.
"I'm not sure being older makes it easier but I think having played the other formats, in terms of with crowd build-up, media stuff, that will be a little bit easier to handle.
"The advantage of being 31...you only get one crack at it, so I'll go out there, I'll be me. I'll play the way I play and I won't go out trying to be anything but myself. And that's a good thing."
Watch the first Ashes Test between Australia and England live on Sky Sports 2 - build-up to the first ball starts at 11:00pm on Wednesday

Styris hit 111 not out before Sri Lanka reached their target of 220 with ease.
Styris said: "We're still in a good position. We've got the advantage of having had a game on this wicket which will help us in the two we have left.
"If we learn our lessons from this match and put them into operation then we should still be OK."
New Zealand were 4-2 at one stage, with Chaminda Vaas removing captain Stephen Fleming and Ross Taylor for ducks. And despite Styris' efforts, their final total of 219 never looked enough on a good batting track.
Styris said: "It was our lack of runs that did for us in the end, and we then lost wickets all the way through which stunted our momentum.
"We thought that if we took wickets early on we might be in with a chance, but it wasn't to be.
"The secret on a pitch like today was probably not to thrash at the ball and to be patient, but we weren't able to do that.
"To give credit to them, they're a good bowling side and they performed very well again."
New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming admitted protecting his side's run-rate by delaying the second and third powerplays had been a factor in his decision-making during Sri Lanka's innings.
"The first 20 overs, we fumbled our way through when we needed a great start. From then on, it was a fine balance between trying to put pressure on them and looking after our run-rate," he said.
"It's a fine line. You could lose 30 or 40 runs just like that in a tight game and that's going to affect the run-rate massively down the track.
"I wasn't willing to take the 10 overs of powerplay and lose the game in the 38th over, when we could stretch it out for another eight overs."
He added: "You're dumb if you don't [think about the run-rate]. As a captain, you have to look at all scenarios, but by no means was there a question of giving the game up."
Fleming praised Sri Lanka, describing their bowling attack as "the toughest in the world at the moment".
He added: "The whole way through, they stunted any momentum we had."
Keeper Brendon McCullum has been fined 20% of his match fee for shaking his head after being adjudged lbw by umpire Asad Rauf.
"There is a thin line between disappointment and dissent and Brendon crossed that line," match referee Mike Procter commented.
"We must all be conscious of the fact that this is the biggest tournament in the game with a huge audience and so every player and official must adopt the highest standards of behaviour at all times."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/6/2014 (1165 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jocelyne Yanofsky's hard work in and out of the water has paid off big time.
The 27-year-old Garden City resident and member of the North End Seals swim club, will compete in the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games, taking place July 8 to 12 in Vancouver. She qualified for the national games after successful swims in the 2013 Special Olympics Manitoba spring and summer games.
Jocelyne, a swimmer since age six, said she's been training hard, in the pool three or four times a week for the better part of a year, in addition to dry land training with the provincial team and on her own time. She even gave up another favourite sport to focus on swimming.
"I had to give up bowling for swimming because swimming is more important now," Yanofsky said.
Yanofsky said her best stroke is the breaststroke, which along with the butterfly, is a swimming style she only recently attempted.
"That's a really tough stroke (the butterfly)," Jocelyne's father, Albert, said. "I guess a lot of athletes don't do it, they prefer doing the less complicated ones,"
"It's a little bit hard and takes time to practice. I've been doing it for a year or so," Jocelyne added.
Jocelyne's mother, Sharon, said her daughter has also embraced the provincial team's commitment to a healthy diet.
"They've had really regimented nutrition guidelines for the year and she carries her little yellow nutrition booklet wherever she goes," Sharon said.
"She's eliminated pop to hardly any, which is a good thing for life and probably helps you with your training and swimming, and I think Jocelyne has encouraged some of her teammates when they go out for food, watching what they're eating," Albert added.
Provincial team coach Melissa Diamond, who has also coached Jocelyne at the club level, said Jocelyne is a very motivated individual.
"She always wants to do better and is always looking for what she can do to make herself the best she can be. She's very focused and very dedicated to her sport," Diamond said.
"The change she's gone through in this last year alone is phenomenal, as far as getting in shape for this provincial team. The events she's swimming in Vancouver are two pretty hard strokes, breaststroke and butterfly. A lot of people said they could be too much for her and she went and proved them all wrong, just blew everyone out of the water at the last swim meet. She's out to prove that she can do it, and she can."
In addition to the competitive aspect of swimming, Jocelyne said she enjoys the sport because it's fun and it enables her to make lots of friends. Her friendly nature also serves her well outside the pool.
"I volunteer at Seven Oaks Hospital," said Jocelyne, who also volunteers at the Manitoba Marathon and the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities.
"I take the patients to the hairdresser and then take them back to their rooms. It's fun and I get to make lots of new friends around the hospital."
Jocelyne said she's excited to stay in the Special Olympics athlete's village at University of British Columbia and taking part in opening ceremonies.
"I'll be going like this (smiles and waves)," Jocelyne said.

Holzapfel's growth could put him on a track to Pittsburgh
If the Penguins needed to call up a forward from Wilkes-Barre today, their first choice would probably be rookie Beau Bennett. Their second choice, however, would likely be a player only hardcore fans had heard of as recently as a few months ago.
Does the name Riley Holzapfel ring a bell?
If he keeps playing like he has this season, posting a team-best 15 goals and 29 points in 45 games coming into this weekend, it might sometime soon.
"I love it here," Holzapfel said. "The style I play, it fits the systems the coaches are trying to implement."
Holzapfel once scored 39 goals in a season in junior hockey and was a second-round draft pick of the Atlanta Thrashers in 2006.
After turning pro, though, he was cast as a checking-line center for the better part of three seasons with the AHL's Chicago Wolves. He didn't like that role, but it helped him round out his game.
By the time Holzapfel hit unrestricted free agency last summer, Don Waddell, the general manager who drafted him in Atlanta, had joined the Penguins' scouting department and recommended the signing.
Holzapfel doesn't project as an NHL star by any means, but he's got good size at 6-foot, 200 pounds, good mobility and is just 24 years old. He can play all three forward positions and is equally comfortable paired with Bennett on a scoring line or killing penalties alongside Zach Sill.
"Not only our first-half MVP, but you could arguably say he was our first-half most improved player," Baby Pens coach John Hynes said. "He's a guy who dropped 3 percent body fat since he got here."
Big D
The Baby Pens came into this weekend playing some stingy defense, allowing 11 goals in their last 10 games and going 9-1 during that stretch. The streak coincides directly with the end of the NHL lockout.
Simon Despres and Robert Bortuzzo were called up by the Penguins, Brian Strait was claimed on waivers by the Islanders, and the Baby Pens got better defensively? How can that be?
First, there's no longer a personnel logjam on the blue line.
Second, the quality of offensive players the Baby Pens have been facing dropped off as well.
"A lot of pre-lockout top lines are now in the NHL," goalie Jeff Zatkoff said.
On the mend
Bennett was scheduled to be in the lineup for a pair of road games in Norfolk this weekend after missing the previous five games with a lower-body injury. He has six goals and a team-best 18 assists in 32 games.
"This is more of a precautionary thing, a lingering thing that happened in college — not the wrist, not associated with the wrist," Bennett said. "It's just something I had to take care of right now, and it will help me in the future."
On the upswing
The process of tearing down the defensive game of 2011 first-round draft pick Joe Morrow and building it back up is moving along.
After going minus-6 in his previous 12 games, Morrow was a plus-7 in his last seven games heading into this weekend.
Jonathan Bombulie has covered the Baby Pens for the Citizens' Voice in Wilkes-Barre since the team's inception in 1999. He can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.37, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels.
- 42.80% is the gross profit margin for GULFMARK OFFSHORE INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of GLF's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, GLF's net profit margin of 12.80% compares favorably to the industry average.
- GLF, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 16.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 1.8%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Looking at the price performance of GLF's shares over the past 12 months, there is not much good news to report: the stock is down 25.86%, and it has underformed the S&P 500 Index. In addition, the company's earnings per share are lower today than the year-earlier quarter. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, do not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, GLF is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $21.19 million or 27.32% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

Biography | Research | Focus of Interest
|short biography
|Markus F. Peschl (*1965) is professor for Cognitive Science and Philosophy of Science at the Dept. of Philosophy, Research Group Philosophy of Science: Cultures and Technologies of Knowledge, University of Vienna, Austria. He spent two years at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD, cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophy department) and 1/2 year at the University of Sussex for post-doctoral research. Furthermore, he studied philosophy for 1 1/2 years in France.
|reserach and fields of competence
His focus of research is on the question of knowledge (knowledge creation/innovation, construction, and representation of knowledge) in various contexts: in natural and artificial cognitive (neural) systems, in science, in organizations, in educational settings, as well as in the context of knowledge technologies and their embedding in social systems. The philosophical, epistemological, anthropological, technological, and cognitive foundations of the human person and his/her knowledge are at the center of his attention. He follows a radically interdisciplinary approach integrating concepts from the natural sciences, philosophy (of science), from the humanities, as well as from (knowledge) technology.
Working on the concept of "socio-epistemological engineering" he integrates concepts of knowledge creation/innovation, knowledge technologies, educational technologies (alternative approaches to [e-]/blended-learning processes, knowledge didactics, etc.) with epistemological and social aspects of knowledge creation, and social innovation/engineering. Furthermore, he works in the fields of interdisciplinary curriculum development (e.g., joint masters degree in cognitive science (MEi:CogSci), "studium generale", etc.) and personality development for gifted students.
Currently he is working in the field of radical innovation where he developed the concepts of Emergent Innovation and Enabling Spaces.
M.Peschl has published 6 books and more than 80 papers in international journals and collections. For further information see: http://www.univie.ac.at/knowledge/peschl/

My colleague Sallie James reported this morning on the looming vote in the House to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank.

Nation's Top Firehouse Dog to Appear on NBC's CHICAGO FIRE, 5/6
Labrador/Retriever Smokey from Jacksonville, Illinois earns her stripes as the nation's top firehouse dog when she makes a brief cameo appearance on NBC's "Chicago Fire" on Tuesday, May 6.
In October 2013, Smokey was named the winner of the "Chicago Fire" Top Dog Competition on NBC's "Today," following a nationwide vote on Today.com. The 4-year-old canine filmed the cameo on April 1 in Chicago with her firehouse companion, Todd Warrick, who is based out of Station 2 in Jacksonville, Ill. The walk-on coupled with a visit to the "Chicago Fire" set served as the grand prize of the contest.
Smokey claimed victory over more than 100 firehouse dogs nationwide that entered the contest, looking to fetch the guest spot on "Chicago Fire" and the appearance on "Today." Among the three finalists, Smokey won the Contest with 51% of the vote. Dempsey, a 2½ year-old Boxer/Mastiff mix from Indianapolis, came in second. Wilshire, a Dalmatian from Los Angeles, finished third.
Smokey received the "star treatment" for her role - being transported via limousine to the "Chicago Fire" set, earning a deluxe winner's basket and recognition plaque, and even having a director's chair emblazed with her name for down-time on the set.
As a 6-month-old puppy, Smokey was inside a home that was engulfed in flames. Eventually, her lifeless body was brought out and, with the aid of firefighters and a veterinarian, was kept on Oxygen for three days, hand fed, and nurtured. Now she is a training tool for school children and the community as the firefighters have taught her safety techniques such as "stop, drop and roll," among other civic duties the pooch performs.
"Chicago Fire" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). The drama series is produced by Universal Television and Wolf Films and stars Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, Eamonn Walker, Monica Raymund, Lauren German, Charlie Barnett, David Eigenberg, Yuri Sardarov, Joe Minoso and Christian Stolte. The executive producers are Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Michael Brandt, Derek Haas, Danielle Gelber, Joe Chappelle and Peter Jankowski.

I stayed at Bryan's place for a weekend for a local wedding in Lancaster, VA. Bryan was a great host and greeted me when I arrived and gave my a tour of the house. There were 2 spacious bedrooms and a nice bathroom, living room and kitchen. The house was very clean and cozy. This was a great value and I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to a friend.Michael2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
Lovely place, nice sitting area, comfortable bedroom and equipped kitchen. Bryan was incredible kind, quick to communicate and you are minutes from White Stone and other lovely villages.Kathleen2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
Had a lovely weekend! Brian was a great host--the place was clean, and very convenient to white stone and Irvington!courtney2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Beautiful home in a very pretty location. the inside is *better* than the photos! We appreciated all the options of things to do -- board games, foosball, bikes and other outdoors stuff, etc. Bryan as a host was a real gentleman, very accommodating and helpful.Tim2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Mr & Mrs. McClain are very welcoming, they met us at the home and gave us a tour of all the amenities. The place was clean and centrally located. We enjoyed our stay.Lynne2016-10-17T00:00:00Z
Excellent stay! The place is not on the water but very near the water. Very clean. It's nicer than the pictures show. Very friendly and helpful host. They have two kayaks and a canoe (with paddles and life vests), which we were able to take out on the water. There is a small (free) beach 10 minutes drive away. Kitchen was well stocked. It's the lower level of a two story building. The upper level is a full time rental (not the host). At one point there was loud screaming from a child and bowling balls rolling around upstairs, but it did not last more than 20 minutes. Very comfortable for 4 people. Would (and probably will) stay again.Connor2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
My family and I stayed at Bryan's place for one night. We arrived at nighttime, so it helped that Bryan lit a tiki torch to signal the place and the parking area. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Bryan, but he left everything ready for us and kept in touch electronically throughout our stay. The home is cute, cozy, and clean. Our family enjoyed a movie night on the comfy couches, playing on the foosball coffee table, and wonderful sleep on great sized bedrooms. The upstairs and downstairs floors are connected by a small spiral staircase by the bathroom; we had a guest from upstairs come down to use something in the laundry area, but it was quick. I wish we had arrived earlier to have used the outdoor area, there was a gazebo, fire pit, and kayaks/bikes available for use.Kenia2016-06-26T00:00:00Z
Bryan was very welcoming and helpful. He responded promptly to all inquired. It was a nice place, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks!Missy2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

Pat & Dennis were amazing hosts. They were constantly available to answer any questions we had and went out of their way to provide an absolutely amazing experience. The rental was amazingly clean and well furnished and is located in a quiet & peaceful area right on the river. The entire area is very scenic and the local area businesses are both historic & family friendly. Pat & Dennis provided us with all the information on the local area as well as advice on local businesses and places of interested. There is even an informational folder for guests on the coffee table which has all the info you could possibly need. It was a nice surprise when we arrived there a few days before Christmas that Pat & Dennis had gone the extra step and provided us a Christmas tree and decorations, as well as coffee, creamer, and fresh muffins. The rental was spacious & comfortable, with great internet wifi, cable TV, and a generous selection of board games to keep the family entertained. After using Airbnb several times previously, I can honestly say this was our best experience so far. Thank you Pat & Dennis.Paul2017-01-20T00:00:00Z
This place is very relaxing. Beautiful small town with great restaurants. The apartment is very clean and plenty of room. Don't worry about the sleep sofas . They are real comfortable .Three couples could easily fit into the space. Pat and Dennis are really nice hosts. This is a great value for the rate. My family will definitely be back.Greg2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
Pat and Dennis couldn't be friendlier! They notified us ahead of time with restaurant suggestions and activities going on in town. They met us when we arrived, showed us the apartment and invited us to use their dock if we would like. The apartment is newly renovated, very clean and comfortable. The water side of their property is beautiful. We love being there!Brad2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Beautiful spot in a beautiful location. If you want quiet and peaceful, this is a great option. The dock sits in a little cove that is great to watch a sunset from. Great communication from hosts would love to visit again.Matt2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

This is an amazing spot! Our hosts did so much to make our stay in Urbanna magical. The apartment is beautiful (pictures do not do it justice), immaculate and incredibly comfortable. We enjoyed walking to shops and restaurants and then coming back to a serene private location to truly relax. The hosts went above and beyond the call assisting us with our arrival and making things comfortable for us. I can not say enough wonderful things about our stay! We will love to return as soon as possible.Lisa2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

This large colonial home is nestled on the bank of the Rappahannock River and you have river views from each upstairs apartment. Amy and Chris have renovated each apartment and both are well appointed. I know this because I have friends, who used to live in the apartments 35 years ago. Chris was great with communication and he made sure that I was comfortable and felt welcome. The wine left for guests was "above and beyond". I ended up coming a day early, then a friend joined me for a couple of nights. Chris and Amy were happy to adapt to our needs. It's too bad that the rating score stopped at 5 stars, because they went so far beyond expected that I would give them 10 stars.Susan2017-04-29T00:00:00Z
What a great space! Very comfortable, clean and has an amazing view of the sunrise from the backyard and bedroom if you wake up early enough. It has everything you'd need for a short or long stay. It was great meeting Chris as well. He was very friendly and attentive - a truly gracious host! I would recommend to anyone whose looking to stay in Tappahannock.Brian2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
This place was awesome! The apartment was a lot larger than I thought, with a kitchen, sitting area, large bedroom and bath. Chris and Amy came right out when I got there, no problems finding the place and they both showed me the place I rented and I also got to peek in the two bedroom area, which was equally nice! Their place is right downtown, within walking distance to things. I got there too late to wander downtown, but Chris wrote dinner options out and I ventured across the bridge to Warsaw and dined at Relish. Great food, drink and company. Just went back, enjoyed a glass of wine they left, watched TV and read. Got up before sunrise, made a cup of joe and enjoyed the sunrise before getting on the road. A great little escape - can't wait to come back in warmer weather!Cassandra2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
This is a beautiful home right on the water with great views. The host is super friendly and helpful in giving suggestions on what to do/where to eat and drink in town. A great weekend getaway!!Allison2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
OMG!!! Words can't describe the warmth and hospitality you will receive when renting this place! This apartment could truly be lived in! It is so much larger than anything I could have ever imagined! But even better than the place itself.... Was the host! Chris was amazing! Everything you need is right there! Right on the water! Thank you! We will be back!Christal2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
I truly enjoyed my one night stay at Christopher's place. We got there much later than I anticipated but Christopher stayed in communication with me and had arrangements in place if I weren't able to arrive before he was heading out with his family. I made it there just before he had to depart and he greeted me and showed the apartment. The one bedroom apartment is very nicely laid out. It has a separate bedroom, small kitchen and eating area. There is a second room that can be a sitting room or as configured when we arrived, a second bedroom. The bathroom is nice with a nice shower. The back yard has a wonderful view of the river and space to sit and take it all in. Even though it was May, it got a bit chilly in the evening, but no worries, they had a space heater right there to knock the chill off. There were even snacks, a couple of bottles of water and coffee provided for our use. I will give one warning though...get to Tappahannock early in the day. We missed out on all the great shops and the festival that was there that day. Christopher gave great suggestions on places to eat and was kind and engaging with me. In summary, you'll have a great place, great host and a great environment for a relaxing stay. We definitely plan on going back...if he will have us.Jesse2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

We stayed here for one night but wish we could have stayed longer. Chris and Amy are great hosts, who are happy to share recommendations about what to visit and where to dine in the area. The space is clean and comfortable and was perfect for our group of four. The house is beautiful and conveniently located walking distance to some restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again should we plan another trip to the area.Lauriell2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

My friends and I stayed here the night of a wedding, and cannot say enough good things about Christopher or their home. He was beyond accommodating and their place is wonderful. It was very clean, stocked with plenty of amenities and decorated in the cutest way. We woke up to beautiful weather and were able to enjoy our morning coffee taking in the gorgeous views of their backyard. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in or around Tappahannock. You will not be disappointed!Kelley2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

I would definitely recommend it if you are trying to runaway from cities and looking for somewhere cozy and beautiful.Guanyu2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
This cottage is a true hidden gem! It is perfect for a weekend of relaxation, enjoying the beautiful scenery of coastal Virginia, and all that the river and bay have to offer. Rosemary and Bobby were perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived they made sure we were taken care of, providing us with a clean cottage, food recommendations, kayaks, and even shared fresh steamed blue crabs from their crab pots. We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. We didn't want to leave and will surely be back!Todd2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Our stay was awesome. The location is amazing. Don't miss the sunrise over the bay!! We relaxed, used the kayaks, bbq'd, and cooked a great breakfast. Also cooked crabs caught right off their dock. The space has everything you need. Loved the outdoor shower. (There is an indoor one too) Mathews is a cute little town five minutes away. Pretty sleepy little place but good for provisions. Would highly recommend a trip to Mirroir for oysters... about a half hour drive but well worth it. All in all a five star stay. Bobby and Rosemary are wonderful hosts.Carolyn2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place and the hosts were beyond amazing! Will definitely go againKelly2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
Wow. My fiance and I came down for the fourth of July weekend and had such a relaxing, fun, and adventurous time, we felt right at home. Rosemary and Bobby were so welcoming and nice, and their dog buddy was just a sweetheart. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, were wonderful to chat with and get to know, all while giving us plenty of privacy. The cottage itself was really nice, well appointed, and clean. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the bathroom was clean and had fluffy towels. We loved sitting on the elevated deck while we grilled below and ate most of our meals out there. Bobby even cooked us up some crabs which we enjoyed and appreciated so much. They had an awesome dock that we went fishing off of and spent nights staring at the milk way. We went kayaking and exploring around the river and out into the bay. We brought our bikes and explored the neighborhood and nearby town of Matthews where we ate some great food and saw live local music. It rained some and we sat under a grove a trees and watched the storm roll in, but didn't mind relaxing in the cottage until it passed. Overall an incredible experience that we will remember forever, couldn't have asked for a better time or airbnb. Some tips: -There were two of us and it was perfect but I could see it being too small for many more. -There was no stove, but they had a hotplate and grill which we used a lot. -There are a lot of bugs and misquotes being on the water and they provided bug spray but would suggest you bring some too (and sunscreen!) -You can wade out by the dock but it isn't really a "beach." There is a public beach in the neighborhood that took us a while to find. We also kayaked out to Gwynn's Island and swam on the beach there. Bring water shoes. We recommend this to anyone and hope to be back sooner than later! 10 out of 10.Andrew2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVED our anniversary trip to Rosemary and Bobby's amazing waterfront little cottage. Anyone would be lucky to stay here, it was incredibly clean and comfortable! It had everything you'd need for a relaxing extended weekend, and the views off the porch and down on the dock were incredible. They were so extremely generous as hosts, allowing us to use their fishing poles and kayaks, and even providing bait for the fish!! We so appreciated everything. They made it a priority to make sure we felt at home the entire stay, and with everything provided in the rental we most definitely did. We recommend the White Dog Bistro as a fancy dinner out, and definitely check out the pizza at Southwind. You will not be disappointed with this perfect retreat by the bay :)Breanna2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Ricky's place. The purpose of our trip was a visit to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. It was a 35 min drive, but little traffic. Main St was great and quaint. Ricky recommended York River Oyster Co for dinner in Gloucester Pount which was good food and nice marina location. The apartment is well taken care, clean and looks recently remodeled. It worked great for a family of 3 + dog. Very functional, quiet at night and walking distance to several restaurants in the neighborhood. In addition, the Gloucester area is historical, thus we enjoyed walking around and learning about past history. I recommend it and would stay there are again in future trips to the area. Reservations were easy and Ricky made recommendations which were helpful. Thank you, Ricky!!!Vanessa2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
Gorgeous place! Ricky was a wonderful host, providing information and recommendations on local restaurants, activities and more. He was easy to get in contact with and made sure to update us if anything regarding our stay could be improved (areas to park, local festivities, etc.). We would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to booking with Ricky for future visits to the area. Thanks for a great trip!Meg2016-03-19T00:00:00Z
My fiancé and I had the most incredible stay at Ricky's place. The apartment is located right on main street of the sweetest downtown area. Ricky was fantastic and so accommodating. He made us feel so welcomed and even made sure we had local snacks waiting. He gave us many suggestions of activities to do in town that really enhanced our trip. We would HIGHLY recommend staying in historic Gloucester Courthouse in Ricky's apartment.Abby2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful stay in a beautiful town. Ricky's apartment was just what my family needed for a relaxing getaway from the city. The home was just as pictured and featured everything we could ever need. Ricky made sure we knew all of the details before arriving and was also helpful in suggesting restaurants and other places to visit. He was easily reachable by cell phone and answered all our questions. We felt so welcomed and comfortable in the home that we did not want to leave. Thanks for a helping our vacation be a great one!Marcia2015-07-26T00:00:00Z
We spent a great weekend in this condo. Very clean with everything you would need. The kids slept on the pull-out sofa. Very comfortable did not even feel like a sofa bed. Nice little breakfast spot across the street. I would definitely stay here again!Ashley2015-10-11T00:00:00Z
Great space! Very clean and well prepared. Perfect location!William2015-10-17T00:00:00Z
My family and I had a great time! Ricky was very reachable and very friendly. The town was quite, peaceful, friendly and not far from major tourist attractions. The condo felt like a home away from home and was exactly as pictured and described. Can't wait to plan another trip!Alexandra2015-08-15T00:00:00Z
We won't hesitate to recommend this great accommodation in Gloucester Courthouse. Beautiful clean comfortable space, and we loved the fact that the windows open for cool summer night! Main Street is really quiet except for the occasional fire truck. We didn't have an actual meeting with Ricky, but he was totally available for any questions that we bothered to ask. And genial! It's all a really sweet small town experience. With family in the area, we hope to come and stay here again.Jill2016-06-14T00:00:00Z
