We have weekend days available for the picnic shelter and pool so pick a time and call me today before everything get booked! Also, we have one week, August 11 through 16 that would be great for a band camp, sports camp, church camp, etc. Please help us get this week booked! If you are interested in helping us get ready for this camp season, pelase call me at 304 673-9658 or email firstname.lastname@example.com! I'll see you at the camp!
Hello Campers,
The 2011 - 2012 has come to an end and I want to thank everyone that attended Camp Summers this season! The storm was hard on the camp and staff, but we prevailed. I seemed to be behind for the rest of the season, but we are putting it behind us now! I am now looking forward to the upcoming season because we are making more improvements for the 2012 - 2013 season. The Summers County Commission approved the installation of new roofs for ALL cabins! We are completing Girls 2 and Boys 2 and will have the other 4 completed before winter. We will have a new ceiling in the dishwashing area and food storage area! It is our hope to also have a new softball back stop installed before the campers arrive in the late spring! Delegate John O'Neal secured a grant to help finance 2 new roofs so thank him and the County Commission when you see them.
We still have days available for pool parties and family reunions and there are a couple of weeks in August that are available. The camp is a wonderful place to have any gathering so call me today at 304 673-9658 and I'll see you at the camp!
Thanks to the Summers County Key Club for adopting Boys Cabin#3. It looks great and it's ready for campers! We have several projects going at the camp right now! All of the tables in the dining hall have been painted. They really look nice! The dining hall and maintenance building roofs are beautiful. The bath houses are almost completely painted and are clean! We have almost all of the debris from the spring storms removed too! The pool is cleaned, but we are going to scrap some areas and re-apply paint. The grass is growing like you wouldn't believe! Drive by and take a look at what wehave accomplished this spring! We have some dates available for pool parties and family reunions, just give me a call at 304 673-9658! I'll see you at the camp!
Hello Camp Summers Friends,
We have made important improvements to the camp this fall! We are constantly thinking about how we can make our campers stay more enjoyable while keeping the rustic and peaceful feel of the camp. We just completed the dining hall and cabin rewiring project. We added additional night lighting and electrical outlets around the camp grounds. We removed many dead trees along the parking lot, cabins, and around the council circle. With the help of a friend, we finished sealing and painting the outside of the bath houses brown. We cut brush along the river and fences. We painted and graveled the council circle. All of the buildings has had fresh coats of paint including the flag pole and volleyball poles. We finished installing the exhaust fans in the dining hall in the hopes it will make our hard playing campers more comfortable (cooler) while eating. We repaired the crumbling chimney and added a new mantel in Boys Cabin 1. We irrigated and reseeded the fields.
Fall is over and we look forward to spring so we can continue working on our list of improvements so the camp will be ready for our users. We seen a substantial increase in cost of two of our essential utilites as well as food costs in 2011. We continue to investigate ways to add additional revenue in the hopes that our budget will balance soon.
Please keep our camp in mind for any events that we can add to our schedule for next year! We still have the week of August 13, 2012 open for rental! We will be sending out contracts soon. As always, I look forward to seeing you at Camp Summers!

TRIBUTE As a spectator watching the gun control debate in the US, I never imagined that the issues that it raises would one day hit so close to home.
For on the same day that US President Barack Obama released a photo of himself shooting a shotgun, a friend and a former colleague, journalist Claudia Theophilus, was killed by a similar weapon thousands of miles away on the mountains outside of Beirut.

A couple in the remote north-west coast of Scotland who were separated for nearly a month over Christmas by heavy snow have finally been reunited.
Kay Ure, who left the former lighthouse keeper's cottage at Cape Wrath on 19 December to buy the couple's Christmas turkey, some coffee and some presents, was cut off by deep snow, gale-force winds and sheets of ice until today.
Her husband, John, who has been on his own since then, made the 11-mile journey by 4x4 car and boat from Cape Wrath, to find his wife waiting with the turkey, cranberry sauce, fresh coal and dog food for their six springer spaniels.
A neighbour in the nearby village of Durness, where Kay Ure has lived during their months' separation in a small caravan, said: "They've gotten together again and Kay and John are on their way back to the lighthouse. I know they've got copious amounts of dog food and coal, but I dare say the turkey is with them too."
The month of isolation left John Ure with rapidly dwindling supplies of food and fuel, after his diesel generator broke down and his coal ran out, forcing him to use a supply of timber stored for a building project for heat and cooking.
Their dogs – his only companions apart from two walkers who arrived unexpectedly at their small café on Christmas Day – were left eating army rations left behind from an earlier military training exercise.

As a salute to a great year, we're highlighting what you loved most about Cooking Channel, from the top posts on Facebook to the shows you loved most and the recipes you couldn't get enough of, like I Want to Marry You Cookies. See how this year stacks up against 2011 and 2010.

Others, though, strive to inspire you to get into the kitchen and get cooking! To that end, here are the top 10 recipes you loved in 2012. We hope you take the time to try out all of them, and then come back to rate and review and let us know how we are doing.
#10: Kelsey Nixon's Salted Caramel Sauce
In an episode dedicated to Food Gifts, Kelsey Nixon whipped up a homemade caramel sauce laced with just a bit of sea salt. She then used the sauce to make her Carmelitas and Salted Caramel Milkshake. But the sauce was so good, users started offering up their own ways to work it into new recipes: in coffee, gingerbread, apple pie and more. Check out the recipe at the link below, but be sure to read the reviews, too, to get even more ideas of ways to use Kelsey's salted caramel sauce.

#4: Kelsey's Slow Cooker Shredded Pork
Slow cookers are quickly becoming everyone's favorite kitchen tool. Just prep your ingredients, place them in the slow cooker and go about your day. In 8 to 10 hours, your meal will be ready. Kelsey's recipe for slow cooked shredded pork is especially versatile. Once you have the hunk of meat made, you can use it in tacos, summer rolls and more. And even though the recipe didn't make our top 10, we recommend serving it with Tres Leches Bread Pudding (made in a slow cooker!) for dessert.

>Cross Training>maintaining (a little) running fitness while focusing on other exercises
Hey guys,
First post ever, but I've greatly enjoyed lurking here.
I'm a 26-year-old male, and this is the first year that I did any running on a serious basis (not a total novice, in previous years I had run a 5k here and there, on up to 15 mpw), and I safely and steadily ramped it up throughout the winter, spring, and summer. I got up to 30+ mpw and happily ran my first two half-marathons in June and September (1:51:20 and 1:48:10, woo!).
In any case, I still really enjoy running, but I'm a little burnt-out from running 4-5 times a week and not really leaving time to pick up a weight, play some tennis, or go swimming. I'd like to get back into all the other activities this fall (and get my strength up for ski season!), but I don't want my running to go to crap. Given that I'm not exactly performing at an elite level, I should be able to maintain some fitness while running maybe 10-15 miles a week?
Anyway, I'm hoping to hear from anyone in the same situation (maybe you take it easy a few months a year), as I have no experience ramping down after a long period of training. Also, a specific question: Let's say I get back into training for a race 3-6 months from now. When that time comes, can I expect to ramp up quickly to the 30 MPW level, or will it be as steep as it was this year?
Princess Cancer Pants
This is a good question and something I am already contemplating for next Summer. I got sidelined for much of this Summer with a sprained ankle, which left me lots of time to ride my new road bike...and discover that I am a much MUCH stronger cyclist than I am a runner.
So I'm already looking ahead at concentrating on running during the cold weather months and targeting my usual 15-25k road races in the Spring, a duathlon, and a trail relay...and then putting the running on a bit of a back burner for much of the Summer and Fall and completing more century rides, duathlons, and getting into cyclocross racing in a year.
I've been thinking that 10-15 miles of running/week will be enough to keep my running muscles and fitness from completely atrophying, but still leave me ample time to hit the bike hard. As far as how long to build back up to 30 miles/week...it probably depends a lot on your existing base fitness and how aerobically active you are, aside from running. I would think that you could safely be back up to 30mpw in a couple of months, assuming no injury issues or interruptions in training.
Tennis and swimming seem like activities that would definitely help you keep your aerobic fitness base. I found that I lost no running fitness during my 5.5 weeks of no running and very gradual return to that activity. But I wasn't out on my bike for leisurely rides--logging a minimum 100 miles/week for the past 3 months and getting plenty of hill and paceline work in to try and maintain my aerobic and muscle fitness. You would need to keep your effort level about equal, I believe.

If you maintain your core aerobic fitness you will ramp up faster.
And by that I mean when you are cross training you are getting your heart rate up to the same intensity and keeping it up there for at least an equivalent amount of time. This can be good and bad. Sometimes after a long running scale back where you have high cross training your aerobic system maintains what your physical structure can no longer handle. If you return to running with a vengeance you can find yourself injured. Use caution on the scale back up and hold back on your speed and your ramp more than it feels you need to.

"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
IMO the danger of doing cross training is that you'll expect a bit too much from it. It can be valuable but it really pays to understand the limits.
The places I've made mistakes are
(1) to expect that crosstraining is sort of equivalent to running and lots of running volume makes you faster so a little running volume plus lots of crosstraining will work the same. This is not as true as we all wish it were.
(2) That maintaining volume with other stuff will allow fast ramps on return to running. Believe this and your chance of injury goes up. Much of the reason for not increasing mileage too fast is very specific to running and time on the bike or EFX or swimming or whatever really doesn't do much.
Beyond that, it's a good thing. And not everyone wants to run 80+ mile training weeks for 52 weeks out of the year.
I do!
What Ennay said.
I've had long periods of my running life where I'd run only about 10 miles/week (sometimes less). While this maintained a certain (albeit not great) level of aerobic fitness, the main benefit was to continue to subject my body to the impact of running so the subsequent buildup in mileage wouldn't start from scratch—from a structural standpoint.

Thanks for the input, everybody.
There's a stronger distinction in my mind now between the aerobic fitness level (which I hope will stay high) and the structural aspect of running fitness (how my body takes the pounding). I'll keep that in mind.
Also, I looked at srlopez's log... yikes!

MONTERREY, July 7 (Reuters) - Mexican construction firm ICA will bid to build runways and a terminal at Mexico City's new airport, local media reported on Thursday.
Luis Zarate, chief executive of ICA, told the newspaper La Jornada that the firm will present documents to participate in a runway bid with a consortium of domestic and foreign firms on Aug. 8.
"It's a project that interests us ... it is a challenge for Mexican engineering and we have the ability to do it," Zarate was quoted as saying.
ICA was not immediately available for comment.
Last month, ICA got a $215 million credit from investment firm Fintech, which ICA will use to finance new contracts while negotiating with creditors to restructure its heavy debt load.
The new airport, President Enrique Pena Nieto's landmark infrastructure venture, is aimed at turning Mexico City into a major regional hub that handles around 50 million passengers a year from 2020 when it is slated to open.

Carol's Daughter Tui Moisturizing Hair Oil Reviews
Tui Hair OilThis is a product that, if you use just a little bit, makes your hair really greasy. It needs to be used sparingly, and when the right amount is used, your hair will be really shiny and lustrous. I don't like the smell. It's too sweet. But my hair is dry, a little goes a long way, so I would recommend this. — 5 years, 1 month agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews

SAY GOODBYE TO DRY, LACKLUSTER HAIR!!My hair is coarse and ridiculously dry...but this oil makes it instantly shiny and soft!! The beauty of this product is all it takes is a little to go a long way...so I may apply a quarter to dime size of this product after blowing my hair out to make it shiny and luscious. Also, it doesn't weigh my hair down making it look like a helmet is on my head...my locks still have plenty of bounce and smells delicious as well!! — 5 years, 8 months agoMizzPink | 35 reviews

Smell is like CANDY!Yum! It smells so amazing! This is especially good if you are not a daily hair washer and still want your hair to smell good. I used it primarily on my hair ends and not on my roots because it is moderately heavy. The great thing about this hair oil is that it is natural and that if you put it on before you blow-dry your hair, it gives you super soft and shiny locks. I bought this on a whim and i'm content. — 6 years, 4 months agoGlisten17 | 48 reviews
My hair is not the same......without this product. I haven't found anything that smoothes my hair more than this. I have very thick, curly hair that tends to frizz when I mess with coloring it. This oil smoothes my hair so well and it smells SOOOO good! For as little as I need to use each time it is definately worth the price. One bottle lasts me for more than half the year. — 6 years, 8 months agowlvs | 2 reviews
I Apply This Product Before I Flat Iron My HairI cannot believe how great this product is. I use it with my Sedu flat iron. My hair is very thick, coarse, wavy and frizzy. I love this hair oil so much. It works wonders for me. The smell is great. It tends to be greasy when I apply a little bit more then usual. I love it for my hair because it's very dry. With this product, it's better then what I have so I love it. If you don't like the produc...read morets in your hair that tend to be greasy, then this product isn't for you. It also tends to weigh down your hair. When I finish using the flat iron, my hair is straight and looking good. It also has some sort of rose petals inside the bottle. It cost $18. I can only find this product online and never in the store. Gives a nice shine to the hair and you can even use it as an hot oil treatment if you like. I also make sure I apply this to my hair when my hair is clean and dry. I usually wash my hair at night and since it's so dry, I let it air dry so the next morning I can flat iron my hair. — 7 years, 1 month agoLoyalty | 59 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
As I started watching .Hack// Sign, I felt that something was wrong with this story and began to wonder why it was making me so uneasy. Then, I realized that the origin of this uneasy feeling was Tsukasa, the series main character, and his behavior. Normally, when you watch a movie or an anime show, the main character (the hero), young or old, is a nice person or "a man of character". Most heroes or heroines have their own courage, hate "evil", try to save their friends and loved ones or fight for the sake of justice or humanity. Sometimes, those good characters even sacrifice their lives to save the people they love. Even Shinji in Evangelion has courage of a sort and his a good person. When I started watching .Hack// Sign, I began to wonder WHY Tsukasa, who showed no respect for any values or for other people, was this show's main character. He says things like "I Don't care about other people. I don't care about the world around me. If I'm stuck in this game world, it's even better. I Don't have to return to your s--t reality world!" And when he has to listen to other people (who are often only trying to help him), like Mimiru or Bear, who are concerned about him, he tells them off and walks away "I have nothing to do with you", and yet, when he feels lonely, he sends them messages. This Tsukasa guy seems top have the worst personality ever for a main character in anime history! He is so selfish, always trying to escape from his duties or other people. Then Tsukasa meets a mysterious girl, named Aura, toward whom he seems to have a duty to carry out. But even then, he really does not seem to care, only showing the careless attitude of "Living for the moment".
What a selfish, childish character he is and I began to wonder WHY the creators of this show, director Koichi Mashita (Noir, Irresponsible Captain Tyler, Eat-man) and screenplay writer Kazunori Itoh (Patlabor) came up with such a worthless character! And why is this show so popular despite its despicable main character. I thought "they must have had a purpose in creating such a nasty character". Despite his huge power as a "//Wavemaster" (a magic user) and the protection of his "Guardian", Tsukasa is a coward, craven and a chicken. Moreover, he ruins "The World" for the other players!
Then, some time later, I was just switching the TV channels and David Lynch's Twin Peaks TV show appeared. I thought of Lynch's films and the characters in them. They are often going crazy, they are weirdoes. The characters of .Hack//Sign seem to have some similarities with those of Lynch, as they keep appearing and disappearing, talking to each other in bizarre, hard to grasp terms (when the concepts they are exposing are not simply too complicated to follow!). .Hack is supposed to be a kind of RPG show, but, as I watched episodes after episodes, the characters kept just showing up and talking, with not much action taking place. Then I began thinking that, just with Lynch and his Twin Peaks, the creators' purpose is to show these everyday characters of our society and reveal their inner secrets, the true personality they can only show in "The World" (a good example of this is Sora). Is Tsukasa a bad person? The answer is obviously no. He is not a villain in the real sense of the word, he is just a deeply hurt, misguided soul who never learned to care about others since no one ever cared for him (if you watch the series, you WILL understand why we are saying this). And yet, the viewers seem fascinated by him. I suppose that viewers see that, one way or the other, under the pressures and the waning of social values in our society, we are like Tsukasa or in danger of becoming like him. I suppose the creators wanted to show the world the dangers of loneliness and uncaring in the modern world. So, the question here is "Can Tsukasa change for the better after meeting people who care for him?" .Hack//Sign is definitely a thought-provoking anime!

faulknerwrote a review of Burton Gore-tex Under Glove - Men's on February 11, 2008
I tried both a medium and a large. The medium fit perfect without the underglove, and way too tight with the under glove. The large was too big without the underglove, and just too tight with the underglove. The under glove seemed to be the problem. You can really feel the folds on the inside of the under glove stitching. I should have stuck with the medium without the underglove, but just ended up getting frustrated with shipping back and forth and got the medium baker glove...now I'm happyish. I wish i didnt have to pay for shipping gloves back. I wrote this so you wouldn't have to do what i did.

Ohio State operates the NCAA's second-largest athletic department. Eleven Warriors is committed to keeping you informed of what's happening with those sports that make Ohio State athletics more than just football and basketball. Around the Oval will be your weekly update on these teams.
Welcome back, Buckeye fans. After another disappointing loss by the football team this weekend, it's great to be able to take a look at some of the school's other programs, and this past week saw a lot of positives for the university as a whole.
Let's get started on the ice, where the Buckeye hockey team, off to their best start in a nearly a decade, took on the 14th ranked Wildcats of Northern Michigan for a two game set.
buckeye ICERS LOOK to extend unbeaten streak to seven
Last season, on their way to a 15-18-4 record, Ohio State dropped two one goal decisions to Northern Michigan in late October. In fact, 9 of the Buckeyes 18 losses were by that same narrow margin. This year, things have been a bit different for the Buckeye hockey club.
As they prepared to face the Wildcats last Friday afternoon, Ohio State did so riding a five game unbeaten streak, and with that an increased level of confidence in their young, but talented roster. Conventional wisdom dictated that Northern would be a stern test for the Buckeyes.
Northern Michigan vs. Ohio State With all the momentum they had, you might imagine that Ohio State would come out guns blazin', but that was not how this contest would begin. The Buckeyes struggled to find any sort of offensive push in an opening period that saw them muster only five shots against NMU's Reid Ellingson, and although the defense only allowed six shots on Cal Heeter; Ohio State found themselves heading into the second period trailing 1-0. Northern's Stephan Vigler lit the lamp with four minutes left in the opening period, and it was regroup time in Columbus.
After 44 shots on goal in their previous game, it seemed likely that the Buckeyes would find a way to get the offense cranking, and the second period provided them that opportunity. It didn't take long for the increased offensive pressure to pay off, as Danny Dries found Alex Szczechura who scored his third goal of the year, beating Ellingson with a wrap-around to knot the score at 1-1. Ohio State would stay active, but could not get the go-ahead goal, despite outshooting the Wildcats 12-3 in the second period.
The third period saw the Buckeyes turn up the pressure even more, this time peppering the net, forcing the tempo and finally breaking through on a Chris Crane power-play goal at 11:03. Six and a half minutes later, Corey Schneider would add some insurance for the Buckeyes with second goal of the season. Two minutes later, Schneider would make it 4-1 Buckeyes, scoring on an empty net, and that was all she wrote. Game one saw the Buckeyes outshoot Northern Michigan 38-13 on their way to a 4-1 victory, their 4th straight win.
In Saturday's series finale, the Buckeyes picked up right where they left off Friday afternoon, controlling the pace right out of the gate, outshooting the Wildcats 14-6 in the opening period. Danny Dries scored his team-leading 8th goal of the season at the mid-way point of the first, and the Buckeyes were on their way to a 5th straight victory. In the second period, Nick Oddo extended the Buckeye advantage to two goals, and that would be enough for Ohio State and Heeter.
Two more Buckeyes added their names to the "Goals" column on the season stat-sheet in the final period, as Curtis Gedig and Alex Lippincott rounded out the scoring. Once again, the Buckeyes knocked off Northern Michigan, 4-1, and in doing so, impressed their opponents head coach, Walt Kyle.
"Ohio State is a good hockey team. I don't know if people know how good they are. They were owning the game."
The Buckeyes hot play has gotten them some national attention, as they have entered the national rankings for the first time this season, debuting at #14 in the polls. Now mired in a three way tie for first place in the CCHA and riding a 7 game unbeaten streak, the Buckeyes will travel to Ann Arbor this weekend for an important two game series against the rival Wolverines this Friday and Saturday.
If you can't get enough of the Puckeyes, check out this blog entry from Danny Dries, as he talks about the team, and perhaps most importantly, which players are winning the battle of Movember.
If you're considering being a part of Buckeye hockey history and want to see them take on Michigan at Cleveland's Progressive Field in January's Frozen Diamond Faceoff, tickets went on sale yesterday morning. You can purchase tickets here.
After a promising start to their season, the Ohio State ladies soccer team appeared to have played themselves into an early finish to their season. Struggling to score, and unable to break .500 in the conference, the Buckeyes hopes of a post-season berth seemed to have dimmed. A first round B1G tournament loss to Illinois lowered those odds even further.
The smiling eyes of the NCAA selection committee gave the Buckeys a chance despite their first round ouster in the Big Ten tournament, and the Ohio State women's soccer team was given an at-large invitation to the NCAA tournament, where they would travel to Knoxville to take on the 23rd ranked Tennessee Volunteers on their home field.
It was likely to be a short tournament run for the Buckeyes, who, at 3-6 in their previous nine games, had struggled to find an offensive identity; scoring only five goals in that stretch. Tennessee, who had outscored their opponents by a 2-1 margin this season, (42 goals for, 21 against) entered the tournament 7-3 in their last ten games and hoped to continue their hot play with a quick dispatching of a struggling opponent.
Someone forgot to give the Buckeyes the memo that they had no chance to win.
The Buckeyes offense, dormant for much of the last two months, finally came out of hibernation with a flurry of offensive pressure that caught the normally aggressive Volunteers off-guard.
Led by junior Tiffany Cameron, who scored her 7th and 8th goals of the season, Ohio State toppled Tennessee 3-0 on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
It didn't take long for Ohio State to set the Vols to upset alert mode. Off a pass from Kendyl Reed, Cameron got the Buckeyes on the board with a 10 foot goal at 8:26 of the first half, and the Buckeyes stayed in command from that point forward. The Cameron goal would be the only score in a first half that saw the Buckeyes regularly challenging Tennessee goalkeeper Julie Eckel, who kept the game close with four saves in the first half. Tennessee was unable to put any regular pressure on Ohio State's defense, but when they did, OSU's Katie Baumgardner was steady in net, making two saves of her own in the first 45 minutes.
The last 45 minutes saw more pressure from Ohio State, and more inability to slow it down from Tennessee. Ohio State was only able to get three of their nine shots on net, but Kristen Neiderhaus and Cameron made sure they counted with two quick goals at 67:08 and 73:07, respectively. Neiderhaus' goal was her first of the year and it gave the Buckeyes an insurmountable two goal lead with 23 minutes remaining. Tennessee was unable to mount any serious threat the rest of the way as their season ended at the hands of the Buckeyes.
Ohio State wil get ready to face the 15th ranked University of Milwaukee in Durham, NC on Friday evening. The Panthers, 19-2 on the season, avenged one of their two losses by defeating Illinois State 3-0 Saturday.
Buckeye bits
The Buckeyes 13th ranked wrestling team continued their early season dominance, wiping the mat with their three opponents this weekend at the Second Annual Wrestle for a Cure Duals in Harrisburg, Pa. In a mere six hours, the Buckeyes grapplers dismantled Utah Valley (36-0), Old Dominion (30-3) and North Carolina (36-6). The Buckeyes lost only two matches on the afternoon and dominated their opponents in every weight class.
Ohio State's home schedule begins this upcoming weekend against Virginia Tech. Fans are encouraged to wear black for a "Black Out", and will have an opportunity to meet and greet the team following the meet in an autograph session.
The second seeded Buckeye men's soccer team fell in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament to seventh seed Penn State, 2-0 last Wednesday in Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes, who finished the season 10-7-2 waited all day Monday for an announcement regarding their invitation to the NCAA Tournament, but unfortunately found themselves on the outside looking in; their season is over.
The Buckeyes did receive some good news at the Big Ten Tournament Banquet, however, as Chris Hegngi and David Tiemstra were to the All Big Ten first team, and they were named B1G Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively. Hegngi is the first Buckeye to win the offensive POY award, and Tiemstra is the third straight Buckeye to win the defensive POY. Matt Lampson, Parnell Hegngi and Austn McAnena were named to the All-Conference second team. Two Buckeye freshman, Brady Wahl and Kenny Cunningham, were named to the All-Freshman team. It would appear the future is bright for the Buckeye soccer club.
The Ohio State's women's volleyball team continues to struggle in conference play. They dropped two matches this weekend, first to Northwestern 3-2 (25-22, 21-25, 25-22, 25-27, 15-13), and then losing at #7 Illinois 3-1 (25-18, 24-26, 26-24, 25-17). The Buckeyes fall to 7-9 in the B1G, and will try to break their second three match losing streak of the year when they take on Purdue this weekend in Columbus. The Boilermakers are 5th in the nation at 24-3, and handed the Buckeyes a four set defeat on October 15th.
Go Bucks!

A cross between a serval type of wild cat and a domestic cat, Savannah cats are exotic and interesting breeds. The serval is a medium sized wild cat from Africa known for its large pointy ears. The original Savannah Cat was bred from a serval and a Siamese, and was first accepted as a new registered breed by the International Cat Association in 2001. We are known for being more social than regular domestic cats, and can be trained to play fetch or walk on a leash, making us somewhere between a cat and a dog in terms of personality. Our first ancestor was bred in 1986 by the Bengal breeder Judee Frank, and the breed was perfected in the years to come.
Savannah cats have only recently appeared in the United Kingdom, when the first female of our kind was born and bred in 2010. We can be found all over the world now, however, from the United States to Japan. Savannahs are one of the easiest types of cat breeds to recognize, because we are on the large size and have a tall and slim build. Some of us can weigh over 20 pounds, but we can fall anywhere in the range between 7 and 30 pounds. It's possible for there to be a quite significant variance in our size even within the same litter.
Another distinction of Savannah cats in addition to our size is our coat, which depends on the breed of domestic cat used for cross-breeding purposes. Some of the first Savannahs have dark spotting with a light coat, because early breeders liked to use breeds such as the Bengal to help preserve the wild look of our origins. You can find us in a rainbow of different colors today, however, with some of the most popular types resembling brown spotted tabbies, silver spotted tabbies, or black smoke coats. The International Cat Association only accepts the Egyptian Mau, Ocicat, Oriental Shorthair or Domestic Shorthair as permissible cross breeds.
We are tall, lean, and fast, but Savannah cats also have the temperament of a dog, which makes us ideal pets. Many of us are known for our extreme loyalty, following our owners around the house, playing fetch, and even walking on a leash. Savannah breeds can be friendly with new people, other cats, and dogs, but some others will be shy or hiss around strangers. To make us more sociable, it's best to expose us to other people as kittens. We are also known for our intelligence and jumping ability.

Wow! What a Ship!: Allure of the Seas Cruise Review by Mystyou
Overall Member Rating
Wow! What a Ship!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Sat: 2/2: Three of us (me, my wife, and 13 year old granddaughter) took a 7:55AM flight out of PHL on USAir. Although we were at the airport in plenty of time, getting through security was crazy! Once we were cleared, were among the last to board the plane with only about 10 minutes to spare! Apparently there were bunches of early morning flights on Saturday which accounted for the packed security lines. The plane took off exactly on time and it was a very pleasant flight to FLL. After a rather short taxi ride, we arrived at our pre-cruise hotel, The Lago Mar Resort. The hotel and grounds were simply beautiful. Although we arrived very early, were allowed to check in and then proceeded to enjoy all this resort had to offer. After leaving behind 20 degree weather back in PA, Ft. Lauderdale looked and felt like a tropical paradise. The staff at Lago Mar was outstanding. Everyone was cheerful, friendly, and very helpful. They really went out More of their way to make our overnight stay one to remember.
Sunday, Feb 3. After a short taxi ride from our hotel, we arrived at Port Everglades. Seeing the Allure for the first time literally blew my mind. Prior to the Allure, the largest ship we sailed on was on Liberty of the Seas, a Freedom class ship. Even from a distance, the Allure seemed at least twice as large!
Embarkation was the easiest, ever. It's been said that RCCL has this process down to a science and I'll have to agree. From dropping off luggage with a porter at the curb to actually walking up the gangway took a maximum of 10 minutes! I really enjoyed Royal's new policy which allows two bottles of wine, per cabin, for personal consumption. Once aboard, we followed everyone else to The Windjammer for a bite to eat. Luckily, the elevators weren't yet crowded and The Windjammer had plenty of room. Our cabin was ready at exactly 1 PM and our luggage arrived at about 6 PM. Our muster drill was held at Studio B, sans life jackets, and took only about 20 minutes. A short video was shown describing safety procedures, life jacket use, and all the rest.
Our first meal at the MDR was outstanding! The prime rib I ordered was an excellent cut of meat and cooked exactly to specification. There were a few glitches in service on the first night but they were ironed out as the cruise progressed. I'll chalk it up to "opening night jitters." Our waiter was Daniel from Macedonia and was friendly, outgoing, funny, and very attentive. He learned my first name on night one which is always a great personal touch.
We were able to get reservations and saw "Chicago" on the first night. Great music, great cast, and everyone loved it.
Monday 2/04/13. Nassau, Bahamas. Since the return time to the ship was at 1:30 pm, we decided to just hang around and explore all the Allure offered. Central Park, the Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, the Solarium, and elsewhere. Out of all the venues, Central Park was the most beautiful and impressive of all. Although the sounds of song birds were "canned," you could almost see them flying around. It would be interesting to have butterflies in this area, though and would make it feel even more natural. Just every review about the Allure I've read mentioned how great the roast beef sandwiches were at the Park Cafe. After having one today, I'll add my name to the list- absolutely delicious and among the best roast beef sandwiches I've ever had. These sandwiches are a definite must have!
Tuesday: Saw Ocean Aria. A very well-produced and entertaining diving and trampoline show. It was amazing how the divers hit the very small area of the pool from the highest point of the ship! The music and choreography was outstanding and there was a standing ovation at the conclusion of the show. This was one of those "don't miss" shows aboard the Allure.
Wed. Feb 6. St. Thomas. The day dawned cloudy and a bit rainy so many people got off to a late start for their excursions and other plans. Went to Megan's Bay around noon and it was sunny with blue skies there. The sand was like powder and the water nice and warm and gentle. The best part of going to Megan's is the hairy taxi ride up and down the mountains with all the hairpin turns.
Thursday, Feb. 7. St. Martin. Took a taxi to Orient Bay to spend the day. It was a perfect day with big puffy white clouds and a bright sky. The water temps were at least 80 degrees! After about 3 hours of sunshine, swimming, and relaxing, we headed back to the ship. This was probably the best day of the trip.
Friday, Feb. 8. Sea Day. Formal night. Prime rib and lobster tail. Again, the prime rib was excellent and the lobster tail was a very decent size! Way to go, Royal.
Saturday. Feb. 9. Sea day and last day of cruise. Packing is always the saddest part of a cruise. No one likes leaving a week of tropical weather in the middle of winter to return to reality. The week truly flew by because there was always a lot to see and do each day. We carried all our bags off in the morning in order to catch an early flight back to Philadelphia. Clearing customs once off the Allure was a very simple process taking only about 10 minutes. The lines were probably much longer for those using traditional departure and disembarking later. On the news there was talk of a major big snow storm called Nemo. Luckily, it didn't affect our section of suburban PA and our flight took off and landed right on schedule.
Room attendant: Monique from St. Vincent/Grenadines: very, very friendly and outgoing. We always had plenty of ice and she went above and beyond to give good service.
As mentioned before, Royal has both embarkation and debarkation down to a science. With the number of passengers the Allure has, this is no easy feat without a lot of planning and streamlined procedures.
Some final thoughts. At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like traveling on such a mega ship. I was afraid of hoards of people, long lines everywhere, and an overwhelmed staff. I found my fears to be unfounded. Since there are so many neighborhoods and activities all the time, I never once felt the ship was crowded. Sitting in Central Park, for instance, was the most relaxing spot, for me, to enjoy quiet time and feel a part of nature. The only time the crowds were noticeable was during the busy times at the Windjammer. Beginning on day 2, we ate breakfast at the Adagio MDR where there was never a wait and the pace was a lot more leisurely. Besides the Adagio, there were several other areas for food so it wasn't necessary to be a part of the crowds at the Windjammer.
In a previous review (Mariner of the Seas, 2011) I mentioned that the coffee was horrible and was a terrible way to cut corners. This time, the coffee seemed to be of a higher quality and tastier despite having a Starbucks onboard which was extra $$$. Even the orange juice was more flavorful and not the watered down variety served just a few years ago.
Would I sail on the Allure (or Oasis) again? In a heartbeat! Although all the other ships in Royal's fleet are nice in their own way, there was just something very special about the Allure. Exploring all the new areas and being impressed by her sheer size will never fail to amaze. If anyone would like more information about my experiences on the Allure, please feel free to write me at: mystyou(at)Comcast.net. I'll do my best to describe the myriad feelings and impressions I got from this exciting and fun cruise. Less

Mississippi's "Fetal Personhood" Amendment Fails
That's a relief.
Mississippi voters failed to pass an anti-abortion "fetal personhood" amendment, which would have defined the beginning of life at conception and therefore criminalized all abortions — including those resulting from rape or incest. Initiative 26, as the ballot measure was known as, also would have criminalized IVF treatments and some forms of birth control because they both involve fertilized eggs. If it had passed, MS would have had the strictest restrictions against abortion in the country.
The amendment's chief architect was Personhood USA, a non-profit Christian organization from Colorado that promotes the passage of anti-abortion laws; however, even some religious figures in MS didn't support Initiative 26.
In response to this wackadoodle amendment being shot down, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union's reproductive freedom project told CNN, "Even in a conservative state, tonight's vote reaffirms that people do not want government intruding in personal decisions best made by a woman, her family and her doctor."
Damn straight. [CNN]

(CNSNews.com) - President Bush called Friday for democracies in the Asia-Pacific region to work together to support democratic values and help those working for free societies.
In a speech in Sydney, Bush listed Taiwan among the region's democracies. In contrast, he expressed the hope that when China hosts the 2008 Olympic Games, it would use the opportunity to demonstrate "a commitment to greater openness and tolerance."
Yet it is the government of democratic Taiwan, not communist China, that is expressing discontent about the news from Sydney, where the leaders of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) nations have gathered for a weekend meeting.
On Thursday, Chinese President Hu Jintao met with Bush and, according to a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, asked the U.S. leader to join him in warning Taiwan against "separatist activities."
"[Hu] stressed that this year and next year is going to be a highly sensitive and possibly dangerous period of the situation in the Taiwan Strait," said spokesman Liu Jianchao.
Taiwan's independence-minded president, Chen Shui-bian, is pressing ahead with a plan to hold a referendum next March on whether the island should be allowed to join the United Nations under the name "Taiwan."
(Under it official name, Republic of China, Taiwan held the "China" seat at the U.N. until 1971, when the General Assembly handed the seat instead to the People's Republic of China. Washington cut ties with Taiwan in 1979 in favor of relations with Beijing, although legislation passed that same year commits the U.S. to help the island defend itself.)
The Bush administration is opposed to the referendum plan -- a point made by Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte last week and reiterated in Sydney by deputy U.S. national security adviser James Jeffrey, who told reporters after the Bush-Hu talks, "we are concerned very much about this step that Taiwan has undertaken."
Jeffrey said the U.S. would "continue to exert our good influence on the Taiwanese to see if we can change their position."
In comments through a translator, Hu said that Bush, during their talks, had "explicitly stated the ... consistent U.S. position of opposing any changes to the status quo" across the Taiwan Strait.
In Taipei, Foreign Minister James Huang reacted by saying that it is China that is threatening the status quo, by deploying more than 1,000 short-range missiles aimed at the island.
He also pointed to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's recent refusal to consider an application for membership from Taiwan, on the basis that U.N. policy holds that Taiwan is part of China. Huang blamed Ban's interpretation on Chinese pressure.
APEC is one of the few international forums open to Taiwanese membership. China tolerates its involvement under the name "Chinese Taipei" because APEC groups "economies" rather than countries. But at Beijing's insistence, Taiwan's president is not allowed to attend APEC leaders' meetings, so Chen is represented in Sydney by a leading Taiwanese businessman.
Several hours after the Bush-Hu meeting, Chen took part by video in a discussion hosted by the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C.
He defended the referendum plan and Taiwan's bid to join the U.N., stressing that it was doing so in the capacity of "a new member-state" -- not seeking to win back the seat which it lost to the PRC in 1971.
"Our bid to join the United Nations with the name of 'Taiwan' is not just a simple struggle or contest between a democratic, free Taiwan and a communist, authoritarian China," Chen said. "It is also a fight between justice and evil within the international community."
A public opinion poll released by the Taiwan Thinktank this week showed strong support for the island's U.N. bid despite international opposition.
Sixty-seven percent of respondents supported the governments efforts to push the membership issue, 75 percent said they believe that "Taiwan is a sovereign and independent state" and 76 percent rejected Beijing's claim that Taiwan is part of the PRC.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed his men were displaying the character of champions after watching them come from behind against Tottenham to keep their unbeaten league record intact.
Late goals from Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg secured a 2-1 derby victory on Saturday after Darren Anderton had given Spurs an early lead at Highbury.
The win ensured Arsenal will remain top of the premiership throughout the upcoming two-week break for international matches.
Wenger was thrilled with his side as they chalked up a third win in the space of eight days after last Wednesday's draining Champions League win over Dynamo Kiev.
"It was character that got us victory again today," Wenger said. "At half-time we were one goal down but I could feel in the dressing room that the players wanted to turn it around.
Wenger said Tottenham could feel hard done by after the north London derby was settled by Freddie Ljungberg's fortunate second-half winner - a shot that looped wickedly off Spurs defender Stephen Carr's foot into the net.
"We had a lucky deflection on the winner," said a relieved Wenger after watching his strangely out-of-sorts side go four points clear at the top of the table.
Ljungberg's winner for Arsenal came with 11 minutes left. Collecting a pass from Nigerian international Nwankwo Kanu, the Swede let fly with the shot that deflected off Carr on its way past Kasey Keller. Pires had equalised 10 minutes earlier after Anderton had toe-poked Spurs ahead after just four minutes.
At the other end of the table, Leeds were plunged deeper into the mire after a 6-1 battering by Portsmouth.
It was Leeds' worst premiership defeat and leaves beleaguered manager Peter Reid with a big job to turn around the club's season.
Midfielder Gary O'Neil scored twice for Portsmouth as Leeds collapsed in the second half at Fratton Park.
Pompey went ahead on 16 minutes when Serbian defender Dejan Stefanovic headed home a Patrik Berger corner from the right. Alan Smith equalised within two minutes but an O'Neil goal on the stroke of half-time gave the home side the edge and they ran riot after the interval.
Australian Hayden Foxe made it 3-1 on 63 minutes, O'Neil grabbed his second eight minutes later and Czech international Berger made it five on 75 minutes. Nigerian Yakubu Ayegbini scored four minutes from time to wrap up a remarkable rout.
Charlton moved up to fourth place after an impressive 3-1 win at home to London rivals Fulham, with Finland striker Jonatan Johansson hitting a second-half brace.
The victory lifted Charlton above Birmingham City, who were held to a 1-1 draw at Wolves earlier in the day.
Charlton had gone ahead after 10 minutes when ex-Everton midfielder Graham Stuart lashed the ball past Edwin Van Der Sar from the edge of the box. Johansson doubled the lead after 69 minutes with a left-footed volley and made it 3-0 eight minutes later. Sean Davis scored an 89th-minute consolation goal for Fulham.
Middlesbrough's revival gathered pace with a 2-0 victory at Villa Park with Dutch international Boudewijn Zenden hitting his first goal for the club then winning a penalty which Michael Ricketts converted.
Wolves came from behind to secure a draw in their clash with Birmingham and another point in their premiership survival bid.
Birmingham had gone ahead through Finland international Mikael Forssell just after the restart but a scrambled 67th-minute equaliser from Norwegian Steffen Iversen ensured Wolves' earned a deserved draw.
Southampton's Anders Svensson was sent off late in the game at the Reebok Stadium but Gordon Strachan's men held on for a 0-0 draw against Bolton.
West Bromwich Albion went top of the English first division on Saturday after coming back from three goals down to win 4-3 against promotion rivals West Ham United. Lee Hughes struck 13 minutes from time after new West Ham signing Brian Deane turned the ball into his own net on 64 minutes to bring West Brom level.

The Determinants of Household Risky Asset Holdings: Background Risk and Other Factors
We study the portfolio allocation decisions of Australian households using the relatively new Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. We focus on household allocations to risky financial assets. Our empirical analysis considers a range of hypothesised determinants of these allocations. We find background risk factors posed by labour income uncertainty and health risk are important. Credit constraints and observed risk preferences play the expected role. A positive age gradient is identified for risky asset holdings and homeownership is associated with greater risky asset holdings. A unifying theme for many of our empirical findings is the important role played by financial awareness and knowledge in determining risky asset holdings. Many non-stockholding households appear to lack the experience and financial literacy that might enable them to benefit from direct investment in stocks.

Our Wines
Winemaker Tony Coltrin ensures that the Hangtime wines embody the essence of Hangtime. His winemaking philosophy focuses on developing balance and harmony in his wines, as he does in his life.
Hangtime wines have the authentic expression and laid-back approachability that can only come from the Golden State. Grapevines take deep root in the diverse soils up and down the coast of California, where vineyards are bathed by warm sun and cooled by ocean breezes. This combination develops the perfect balance between ripe flavor and bright acidity in grapes as they spend extra days—optimum hangtime—on the vine.
California Grown
From rugged mountain slopes to windswept coastal plains, from gentle, sunny foothills to foggy river valleys, California wine country is dramatic, diverse and stands among the best winegrowing regions of the world. Long, sunny days ripen wine grapes to vibrant fruit expression, while chilly nights and ocean breezes maintain their bright natural acidity. We source Hangtime wines from select spots where this combination of sunny days and cool nights slows ripening for a long, steady growing season. The longer growing season means that grape clusters spend a higher than average number of days hanging on the vine—an extended "hangtime" results in complex, perfectly balanced wines.
Inside Hangtime
California Chardonnay
Pineapple and lychee on the nose, followed by flavors of sweet apple—all supported by crisp acidity. Oak fermentation added creaminess ...
California Pinot Noir
Vivid ruby-color and exhibits wild cherry flavors with hints of cranberry.

THE SECOND instalment of a charity 10k race takes place this weekend to raise money for a school playground.
The Danesfield Dash returns on Sunday after last year's inaugural event proved a big hit.
The 10km run takes in the lush scenery surrounding Danesfield school, which lies off the Henley Road between Marlow and Medmenham.
All proceeds will go towards new equipment for the school playground, with organisers hopeful the event will be adopted into the Marlow sporting calendar for years to come.
As well as the longer, multi-terrain 10k race, there will be a shorter 1k route for the young and young at heart.

The older Cyrus is afraid that his Disney star daughter is moving too fast and too far with her romance with the Australian actor.
Miley Cyrus' singer father Billy Ray Cyrus reportedly is concerned about her love relationship with Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth. The older Cyrus thinks the young couple, who play on-screen lovers in "The Last Song", is moving too fast with their romance.
"Billy Ray is worried the their relationship is going too far, too fast," a source tells Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. Billy's concern apparently has created a blow in the father and daughter's relationship, as the source claims, "It's causing a lot of conflict in the family."
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were first romantically linked after they began working for upcoming drama film "The Last Song", which is targeting April 2, 2010 U.S release. In August this year, rumors were mounting that they were seen kissing at Nashville International Airport. She has persistently denied the reports, but late last month an unnamed source claimed the twosome is officially dating and has been together for more than three months.

Make Mine Love is Tom Wood's brand new love letter to the Golden Age of movie making, and a result of five years of play development through the Citadel Academy.
New York, 1938. Hale Lane, once a glittering Broadway Matinee Idol, finds himself in a desolate alley being beaten by murderous loan sharks. Across the continent, Lane's ex-wife and Hollywood star, Lily Arlen, has just put the brakes on her latest picture MAKE MINE LOVE by firing the director, the leading man, the designer and the choreographer. With the production in shambles and the picture on hold, Lily flies to New York to find a vehicle for her next film. Trying to escape the thugs, Lane unknowingly hijacks Lily and her limousine. During the chase that ensues the two rekindle their romance. What follows is a classic screwball comedy. Disguises, train hijinks, singing, dancing, mistaken identity, car chases, love found, love lost, bus rides, a cast of quirky characters, the making of a movie musical, and a dizzying series of plot twists all conspire to teach our hero that love, true love, takes work.
May 10 – June 1, 2014 - Shoctor Theatre

SEVEN retriever puppies have provided a 'golden' opportunity to boost the Wheels for Will Appeal and the Will Clark Fund.
The five-week-old puppies have been found new homes and, in exchange, each new owner has made a donation to the fundraising effort to help Will regain a measure of his former life.
The puppies were born to Dobson, a golden retriever, owned by Paul and Elaine Nelson, of Grasmere.
"We've found homes for all the puppies and, in exchange, the people who take them are giving a donation to be shared between the Wheels for Will Appeal and the Will Clark Fund," said Mrs Nelson.
"Our daughter, Sophie, went to school with Will, so we wanted to do something really special to help him.
"The puppies provided the ideal opportunity, and they are all going to very good homes."
Meanwhile, fundraising for Will is being boosted by events arranged around the district.
At the Athenaeum, Leasgill, proceeds from Art & Clay 2012, a selling exhibition of paintings, jewellery, and pottery, will be donated to the Wheels for Will Appeal, while an annual night-time swim in Rydal Water, organised by Pete Kelly and Andrea Tucker, of the Lake District Open Water Swimming Club, raised £90 for the Will Clark Fund.

Better To Give Than To Receive: Personality Affects Knowledge Exchange,
University of Tubingen
Personality plays an important role in knowledge exchange. Researchers at the Knowledge Media Research Center (KMRC) in Tübingen and the University of Tübingen validate Adam Grant's interaction styles in the context of knowledge transfer.
Givers share more important knowledge than takers, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the Knowledge Media Research Center (KMRC) in Tübingen and the University of Tübingen. In a large online study, working professionals were classified as givers, matchers and takers based on a personality measure developed by Adam Grant (The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania). The researchers examined how these three interaction styles affected resource and information sharing. The main finding: Givers not only share more resources and more information, but they also share mainly the important information. Takers keep everything for themselves.
Adam Grants' bestseller "Give and take: Why helping others drives our success" is a must-read for managers. In his book, Grant, questions the common assumption that self-centered individuals are more successful in their careers and makes a new suggestion that might seem counterintuitive at first glance – that the self-less, altruistic people can actually be more successful in professional settings.
Adam Grant distinguishes between three main interaction styles: givers, matchers, and takers. Givers are always helpful and give more than they receive, without expecting anything in return. Matchers apply a tit-for-tat strategy. Takers try to get as much as possible without giving anything in return. To classify people, Grant has developed a questionnaire in which participants have to decide how they would behave in 15 different situations, both everyday and professional scenarios.
New findings from a study that will be published soon in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, suggest that this concept of givers, matchers and takers can also be applied to organizational knowledge sharing. Prof. Dr. Sonja Utz (professor at the University of Tübingen and leader of the social media group at KMRC), Nicole Muscanell (KMRC) and Prof. Dr. Anja Göritz (University of Freiburg) used this new personality measure to examine how it relates to sharing in a sample of over 1200 working professionals. They also examined a more established (related) measure, which classifies people as being prosocials, individualists and competitors. In the study, working professionals first completed the measurements classifying their interaction styles, along with several personality constructs such as narcissism.
Two weeks later, Prof. Utz and her colleagues assessed cooperative behavior in a social dilemma and a strategic information sharing task. In the social dilemma task, participants were allotted a fictitious endowment of 300 Euros. They were then asked to decide how much of their 300 Euros they would give to a shared group pool. They were told that the money in the pool would be doubled and divided equally among all group members. Thus, it would be more beneficial to the group (as a whole) if everyone contributed their individual endowments; however, it would be more beneficial at the individual level, if everyone else from the group contributed, while the individual kept his/her own endowment. The researchers used this strategic information sharing task to examine how much and which pieces of information participants shared: the less important and already known information or the really important information only known by the individual. The results showed that givers are less self-oriented and narcissistic than takers. Moreover, compared to the traditional classification of prosocials, individualists and competitors, this new classification of givers, matchers and takers was better at predicting behaviors measured two weeks later. Givers shared not only more money with the group, but they also shared mainly the important information. Takers on the other hand kept both money as well as different types of information.
These results have important implications for organizational knowledge management. The findings suggest that it may not be enough to simply provide knowledge management tools in order to optimize knowledge exchange. It may also be necessary for leaders and managers to keep in mind the personality and interaction styles of their employees. Specifically, they should be wary that takers may keep the important information for themselves.

Two Revere men pleaded not guilty in Chelsea District Court, after they were allegedly involved in a shooting at a Dunkin' Donuts, officials said.
Nelson Aguilar, 19, and Justin Montgomery, 18, were each charged with armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery, at their arraignment Monday.
Officers received calls about a shooting at a Dunkin' Donuts in Revere about 9:45 p.m. Sunday. When they arrived at the scene, they found Darius Young, 21, had been shot in the hip.
Police arrested Aguilar and Montgomery shortly after. Young was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, police said.
Police said the three were arguing over a small amount of marijuana.
At the arraignment, Aguilar's bail was revoked in two open cases out of Chelsea District Court, one from July 2013 where he was charged with possession with intent to distribute a class D drug and the other a larceny charge from January 2013.
Judge Paul Yee also imposed $50,000 cash bail for Aguilar. The judge set bail at $10,000 cash for Montgomery. Both men are to wear GPS monitors, remain under house arrest, and stay away from victims or witnesses, if they are released on bail.
Both men are to return to court April 8.Jacqueline Tempera can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on twitter @jacktemp

The veteran singer became emotional while shooting for a special Indian Idol 6 episode to celebrate Pancham-da's birthday
Singing legend Asha Bhosle broke down while shooting for special RD Burman episode for singing reality show Indian Idol 6. In the episode, the contestants are to pay a tribute to music maestro fondly called Pancham-da by singing his compositions.
A small video was played in remembrance that chronicled a few special moments of Pancham and Asha during their recordings. Asha became emotional when a video showed Pancham-da thanking her for motivating him to bring the trend of Jazz and Latino to Bollywood and inspiring him to compose better music. She could not control her tears remembering the days spent with the evergreen music composer and credited him for all her knowledge.
The Indian Idol 6 episode will be aired Friday, June 29 on Sony.

WARRINGTON Wolves players who sat out Friday night's win against Castleford paid tribute to hooker Micky Higham with a mask parade.
The masks were distributed inside the stadium as a promotion to Higham's three-month Testimonial, awarded by the Rugby Football League for his services to the game.
And as chief photographer Mike Boden's pictures show, his teammates were keen to get in on the action!
Who said there's only one Micky Higham?
