Kathie Diapoulis called the meeting to order at 7:30pm.
Officers Report:
R & D Director Lula reviewed the new FIFA Law regarding sleeveless uniforms. Manufactured sleeveless jerseys are permissible. However no sleeve is to be altered in any fashion.
Guest Speaker Jeff Corzatt, VYSA Head Registrar, stated that registration went well. Virginia needs two more Registrars. If the Virginia teams have any registration questions, do not call the VYSA office - contact one of the Registrars listed in the manual.
AdministratorRobin reviewed the following with the membership:
Manual Changes:
Team Sportsmanship Liaison:There is now a space for each TSL to sign on the Referee Report Form. It is required that the TSL signs the form.
Scheduling Requests:Any team requesting a reschedule for a high school soccer conflict must fax the following:
Rain Outs:It is the responsibility of the club to call either Robin or Kathie immediately if your fields are closed. Please do not assume NCSL has notified us.
Occoquan is now closed on 9/14 and 9/15 due to the lack of rain. If you teams play on that field and your club did not supply Saturday fields, the games will be played away for that weekend.
Once again this season, I am receiving information regarding field changes and closures from NCSL after the NCSL games have been moved, which means the WAGS teams do not get to play on the priority 1-2 fields. I need to hear from the WAGS Reps as soon as possible to avoid this problem.
There were clubs that did not submit Saturday fields, therefore, the teams within the club may not have the same amount of home games as clubs who submitted Saturday fields. In some instances, a team may have 3-4 home games as compared to 4-5 with Saturday fields.
Cancellations and Rescheduling:If your game is canceled for any reason, the game will be played on the next available date for both teams. If there are no dates available the WAGS office will send out an email asking both teams if they want to play on a weeknight or two games on a Saturday or Sunday. There will be a deadline. If both teams do not contact me with a decision on when the game will be rescheduled, the WAGS office will pick a date, time and location. That decision will be final. There were too many problems last season with teams not agreeing to a reschedule. Also, if one team sends the office a date and the other team does not, the date that the team submitted will be moved.
New Phone Number:Kathie has a new phone number. It is on line and in the manual.
Coaching Conflicts:In many cases there have been multiple coaching conflicts in one game. Tried best to avoid as many conflicts as possible but in some cases it was impossible. If both teams submitted a request, the maximum conflicts are two. The majority of the coaches have one. For the teams who are playing at Bull Run, Occoquan or the Soccer Plex, is was impossible to avoid conflicts because once the schedule is complete I may not alter the times. Therefore, coaches with teams playing on those fields may have as many as four or five conflicts for the season.
President's Report
Home Team Responsibilities:It is imperative that the home team contacts their opponent 72 hours prior to game time. If the away team goes to the wrong field, that may be a forfeit for the home team.
New Region I Deputy Director:Tim Miller was elected as the new Deputy Director at the USYS Meeting in San Francisco. The new President for MSYSA will be elected during the September meeting.
Scores:All game scores must be called in to the division coordinator within 2 hours of completion of the match. The only exception would be a game which is completed by 6:00 PM-6:30 PM must be phoned in no later than 7:00 PM.
Calendar Dates:The dates are on line. Please review carefully. There will be no end of season meeting in November. The trophies will be mailed.
ODP Program:There is a new ODP program being implemented. This program is affiliated with the Federation/United Soccer League. It is not part of the USYS Program.
The Super Y League is not part of USYS and may not participate in any USYS sanctioned leagues. If selected for Super Y League ODP, they will not quality for any USYS ODP functions.
Leadership Workshop:There will be a workshop in the winter for all Club Reps. More information will follow.
SecretaryMike Sybert announced the Maryland Workshop will be held on JANUARY 12 at the Towson Center. The Cup draw will be held at a different location at a time to be determined.
Good of the Game:Kathie shared with the membership that Adele Dolansky praised MSYSA and all of the Region I volunteers for hosting the best National Tournament she has attended.
With no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:00pm
Robin Miller, WAGS League Administrator

Blog no, 4 on my motivations.
I have many things that motivate me in life. I have a desire to be someone that has caused positive change in the community and all around me. This desire fuels my work towards becoming a more scholarly person, and trying to achieve more. Another motivation is my family. I want to always work hard so that my family will be proud of me and my accomplishments, because this is really important to me. Most importantly, however, is my motivation by professional musicians. They have caused me to look at every new piece in a different way, and analyze it to try and find every little detail. Finally, I am motivated by a drive for success. I want to become a successful person, with a great job, a nice house (lots of dogs) and a loving family.

Spreadsheet Example. Tuesday , August 08th , 2017 - 02:40:47 AM
Quote from College Comparison Spreadsheet :
I was delighted with how easy they did the practice of registering in their school and just how excited their advice made me concerning the programs they provide. If you believe that moving in and applying to college is a procedure which is too frightening or something you aren't interested in I think you ought to go in and talk with somebody there since I'm certain by the time you leave your head is going to be changed.

Findhorn sometimes feels like the Eros of the eco-spiritual world. The latest traveller to wash up on these shores – literally – is Mukti Mitchell. Mukti is sailing round Britain in a self-built yacht on a six-month speaking tour to promote sustainable lifestyles. His 'Low-Carbon Lifestyles Tour' sailed out of his home port, Clovelly in North Devon, in early April and will cover around 50 ports nationwide by mid-October, see here. Last night was our turn and Mukti gave a presentation in the community centre on how each of us as individuals can significantly reduce our carbon footprints. At the heart of his message is that lowering our footprints should be fun: "People who have tried it find that a low-carbon lifestyle saves money, gives you more free time and brings quality, meaning and satisfaction to life" This seems to be the key message that needs to be communicated at the moment. As the old Findhorn motto has it, "If it ain't fun, it ain't sustainable". Mukti is in the business of helping release the paralysing grip of fear over an uncertain future. Another traveller and truth-seeker is coming towards the end of his time here in Findhorn. Kasmir Msigwa (pictured) is a teacher from Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania who has been with us for around six weeks. He has been working in the local Steiner school, as part of an exchange arrangement within the Steiner global family. Kasmir has been a gentle and wise presence around the place with a deep curiosity and hunger for learning about new ways of doing things that he can take back to his school and community in Tanzania. It was most touching to see how impressed Kasmir was with Mukti's talk. I know all too well from my time in Africa that the prevailing stereotype of we Europeans can be of cold, unfriendly and decadent folk, carelessly abusing the planet and indifferent to suffering in other parts of the world. Yet, here was Mukti demonstrating a passion and commitment to justice and sustainability and actually doing something about it. Great to witness this level of positive intercultural sharing and appreciation. By the way, you may remember that a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the students from Rokeby school in East London who came to spend a week with us. Well, I have come across the 'Six Principles of Respect' that they themselves developed and have now posted up around the school to guide the school's ethic and behaviour. These are worth sharing: Rokeby Respect Policy We start with ourselvesWe give respect to receive it We take pride in ourselves and in our communityWe never waste or damage things We care for each otherWe choose not to use language or actions that will harm others We are kind and thoughtfulWe include the needs of others in our thinking and action instead of thinking solely of ourselves We listen, not just speakWe try to hear and understand others and we talk calmly and politely We are fair, honest and work as a teamWe tell the truth and we take responsibility for ourselves and others - Rokeby Student Council, January 2007 › Ways of worship Jonathan Dawson is a sustainability educator based at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. He is seeking to weave some of the wisdom accrued in 20 years of working in Africa into more sustainable and joyful ways of living here in Europe.

Extreme Sports and the Body
There are a number of things athletes should do before going at conquering or attempting extreme sports for the first time. Here is a list to go by for the first extreme sporting event:
- Go to see the doctor. Have a complete physical done to make sure your body is compatible for extreme sports. Physicians will normally check weight and do a series of physical examinations and blood work as well. The heart is the main thing that will be focused to make sure it can handle the circumstances. There is no such thing as being over careful when it comes to the body.
- Use a training manual. There are numerous training guides that can be found today. There is even one that is labeled. Go to the book store or library and get a book on the extreme sport. Following a training manual will prepare the athlete for what to expect as well as what needs to be done for a safe event.
- Exercise. The best thing for a extreme athlete is to keep the body fit and trim and athletic. There are some sports that require strength and may need time spent on the bar bells and other sports may need endurance and need time spent in aerobics. Finally there are others that need a lot of concentration. This is where yoga comes in handy.
- Research equipment. Research what kind of equipment is needed for the event. Talk to athletes that have done the sport in the past and present. Get perspectives from many people on what needs to be taken on the event. It is always better to be over prepared than not have enough.
- Keep attention to weather conditions. Always check, double check and triple check the weather for the event. This is a big concern if the event is to be held outdoors. The weather is liable for a big chunk of injuries in the outdoors. Rock climbing in the rain or diving in a lightning storm can be very hazardous for athletes.
- Always pair up with the buddy system. Never do any type of sport alone. It is extremely dangerous and not very intelligent to do so. Danger is the middle name of extreme sports. Make sure it is not the emphasis of the event.
- Fish oil. Taking fish oil supplements can help you to build lean muscle masses, reduce risk of injury and to perform your best while playing sports.
The quantity of food, water and vitamins can make a difference in the performance of all sports. This is called sports nutrition. There have been special diets and ways of life for athletes since centuries ago with the Olympic Games with the Romans and Greeks. In the year of 2008, it was reported that 65 % of Americans followed an exercise routine by the US News.
There are many different supplements that are known to help with performance and endurance in sports. The outcome can sometimes lead to the use of illegal substances. Anabolic steroids are one. They relate to testosterone which is a hormone that rapidly builds mass and strength. It can have multiple side effects with its use including gender related effects and an increase in blood pressure. Another illegal practice is blood doping which was invented by the World War II pilots in the 1940's. Blood doping is the illegal process of increasing the amount of red blood cells that are in the blood stream.
In the 1940's training was designed for strength athletes and dietary protein was introduced to those people's diets. Dietary protein helps to safely gain muscle mass and strength. Although they help an over dosed amount could lead to calcium loss, renal and liver damage, gastro intestinal problems, dehydration and gout. Another is creatine. It will increase performance in exercising and strength. Glutamine which is primarily found in whey is an amino acid that is found in the human body more than any other protein supplement. Other supplements that have had studies done and have brought a lot of attention are chromium, ephedra and androstenedione. These substances have a higher risk and no evidence of benefits. Red Bull drinks are becoming more predominant in the world. It is an energy drink that caused an increase in performance of 83% of drinkers with a 4.7% energy increase according to the University of Texas. Some of the biggest increases in performance come from carbohydrates, caffeine and Vitamin B. Sports drinks like Gatorade are used frequently. These sports drinks produce minerals and electrolytes that help to keep the body hydrated during sports of all kinds. In the 1960's Gatorade was invented. It was introduced by the Gainesville Gators at the University of Florida who had better performances when they drank a drink that contained sucrose and glucose in water. These drinks of all names in the same content hit the shelves in the 1970's. Although they help with dehydration they do not contain protein which is a supplement that is needed prior to sporting events. Milk was founded in 2008 to have an increase in muscle protein balance. It contains many nutrients, electrolytes and other components that help with performance. It is now known to replace fluids lost during sporting events a lot faster than any sporting drinks made.

The final approval needed for the first skyway to be built in Coon Rapids came at the Anoka County Board meeting June 25.
On a recommendation from its Public Works Committee, the county board unanimously approved a license agreement with Coon Rapids Healthcare Investors LLC to construct the skyway in the county right of way on part of Coon Rapids Boulevard.
In early May the Coon Rapids City Council approved a site plan for the skyway construction to connect Mercy Hospital with the new Allina medical building now under construction on the north side of the boulevard.
The license agreement with the county was needed because it will pass over Coon Rapids Boulevard, which is a county state aid highway, according to Doug Fischer, county highway engineer.
County approval was required even though the skyway would be built over the right of way, not in it, Fischer said.
The license agreement was patterned after the one the county has with Medtronic for its skyway linking company buildings on Old Central Avenue (County State Aid Highway 35) in Fridley, he said.
The agreement, which contains language involving shared liability, is in effect in perpetuity, unless it is canceled by either the county or the license holder, at which point the skyway would have to be removed, Fischer said.
"I don't anticipate that happening," he said.
The only concern for the county, which was addressed by the site plan, was to make sure the skyway would be of sufficient height over the boulevard to avoid any traffic impacts, Fischer said.
The skyway will have no pillars or any potential vertical obstructions that would cause a problem, he said.
"It's a straight horizontal span over the boulevard, some 150 feet which is longer than the Medtronic skyway, which is about 100 feet," Fischer said.
According to David Moga, project manager for Pope Architects, Inc., the architect for both the medical building and skyway, plans are to have the skyway open at the same time that the medical building is ready for occupancy, which is anticipated in early February 2014.
The contractor, Kraus-Anderson, is expected to start digging the footings for the skyway in the next month or two, Moga said.
"You can expect to see steel across Coon Rapids Boulevard by the end of the year or sooner than that," he said.
"The medical building project is moving full steam ahead."
According to County Commissioner Scott Schulte, the medical building and skyway projects will "change the horizon" on Coon Rapids Boulevard and bode well for development on the boulevard and in Coon Rapids and Anoka County as well, Schulte said.
The skyway will connect the south side of the medical office building at the southeast corner with the north side of the hospital near the main entrance, said Coon Rapids Planner Scott Harlicker.
The skyway will extend 300 feet from the south side of the office building across Coon Rapids Boulevard, it will then run 160 feet parallel to the south side of Coon Rapids Boulevard and then 80 feet south into the hospital, he wrote in a report to the commission.
A small addition will be constructed by the main hospital entrance for the skyway connection, Harlicker said.
There will be 18 feet of clearance between the bottom of the skyway and Coon Rapids Boulevard.
The current overhead utility lines will be moved underground, except for the cable line, which will remain above ground and run under the skyway, Harlicker said.
Some of the evergreen trees in front of the hospital on Coon Rapids Boulevard will have to be removed to accommodate the skyway, he said.
The exterior of the skyway will be a mix of gray, red and beige architectural metal panels and glass windows, Harlicker said.
The supports will be concrete covered with a gray architectural metal panel; the bottom four feet will be exposed aggregate, he wrote in his report.
According to Harlicker, the existing monument at the hospital sign will be removed and incorporated into the design of the support pillars adjacent to the hospital.
Mercy Specialty Center will be a 120,000 square-foot, multi-specialty medical building.
The four-story building has a $22 million price tag and is being paid for by Allina Health, of which Mercy is a part.
Features of the building include a drop-off entrance, plenty of parking, hands-free entrances, extra-wide corridors, elevators and suite entrances.

text: Hi Folks, Just got my refurb Galaxy Tab2 10.1 wifi version. Before I set it up I want to bring it all the way up to date, and I understand JB is available for it. Went to the About device screen, software update, and downloaded all available updates via wifi. This unit doesn't have cellular. After the updates I'm just at 4.0.4 instead of 4.1. Also, I noticed that when it rebooted, it asked for the name of the owner of the device and wouldn't let me get past that until I filled it in manually. Previously, it autopopulated it from the Google account. Is this unusual? Please advise. I will be providing this tablet all configured to my Dad in a week, and would like to get it to JB before bothering to go in and customize it for him. Thanks! Marc

text: I just recently joined Mpix Pro ( I heard was one of the best, their welcome package does impress) and I have their pricing sheet for the base cost. I was curious I have tried to google this to no avail; what do I charge? I am at this place where I am booking about 3-4 sessions a month (started by business about 6 months ago) and I want to offer printing options for extra versatility. I know you can say "mark up what you feel is right" the only thing is I wanna be in line with the market. I do not want to undercut other photographers or overcharge and turn off my clients. Any advice would be appreciated.

A controversial plan to redevelop the Hammersmith Town Hall that would have involved the eviction of blind residents from nearby social housing, and provoked the ire of actors Colin Firth and Dame Judi Dench, has been blocked by Boris Johnson.
The King Street Development plans also included the construction of luxury housing and a major new supermarket, and have been met with fierce protests over the last six months. Boris Johnson has now refused the application saying he is 'glad that common sense has prevailed'. This followed a tense five-hour standoff last month between Conservative councillors and local residents ending in the waiving through of the controversial re-development of Hammersmith Town Hall.
Conservative councillors defended the planning application that would have provided the council with £35million offices at no cost to them, in return for two high rise blocks of flats that local campaign group Save Our Skyline claim would have blighted this picturesque area. Save Our Skyline greeted the mayor's decision with cautious optimism and has vowed to fight on should the Council re-submit the application, citing the 1,000 letters of objection, support from 38 residents' organisations, and 8,500 petition signatures as an incentive.
Celebrities who reside in the Hammersmith area added their voices to the dissenting ranks. These included Sheila Hancock, Dame Judi Dench, Dougray Scott, Jeremy Vine, David Threlfall, Colin Firth and Ralph Fiennes. David Threlfall said: "This Council has operated dual standards for too long. What is not permitted to residential properties seems to not apply to big business. Greed should not triumph over care."
After blocking the plans, Mr Johnson said: 'This proposal caused much anger in the community and I am glad that common sense has prevailed. We must protect historic buildings, green space and the views of our great city.'
The plans included a large supermarket and a footbridge that would run through part of Furnival Gardens. To make way for these the developers proposed demolishing social housing for the blind and an art deco cinema.
The King Street Development is jointly managed by two property companies – Helical Bar plc and Grainger plc. Helical Bar was recently in the spotlight when the Daily Telegraph alleged that the company is a major donor to the Conservative party, with contributions that total £300,000 over 10 years. Chief Executive, Michael Slade, responded to this allegation saying: "You do run the thin line of someone saying: 'You're only doing this to have access and influence', but that was what politics was always about."
Stephen Greenhalgh, who was Council leader at the time when the plans were first submitted, praised the proposals. While publicly expressing his support, he claimed he did not wish to influence the decision of the planning committee. Speaking before Boris Johnson's scrapping of the proposals he said: "I believe that this scheme does balance the need to regenerate the area around the Town Hall with the needs of local people and the borough's hard-pressed taxpayers."
There is a feeling among residents that the Council's disregard for their wishes was entirely out-of-step with the government's professed wider agenda on planning, detailed in the Localism Act, which recently passed into law. This Act claims to empower communities by giving them a greater input when considering planning applications. However, Hammersmith residents feel that their concerns have been ignored in favour of a scheme that would have only benefitted the Council. Nick Bastin from the Save Our Skyline group said: "There's a conflict of interest when the Council are the ones who'll principally benefit."
Cromwell Mansions sits unobtrusively just to the right of the Town Hall. Dappled in sunlight, it is a picturesque location sheltered from the bustle of King Street just around the corner. Managed by the Pocklington Trust, these flats provide social housing for nine blind people and others on low incomes. For a number of years Pocklington Trust tried to house an increased number of blind people in these flats. However, these plans were blocked because this social housing, as well as the neighbouring car park, Cineworld and a Quaker Friends Meeting House are all owned by Tesco and have been under threat of redevelopment for the past 10 years.
Simon Curtis, Property Director at the Pocklington Trust said: "Of course we'd rather it [the development] didn't happen. The developers have to legally compensate us for the capital value of the flats but they haven't offered any alternative accommodation for the residents with sight loss who are going to be left without a home."
Mr Curtis also stated that the Council's claim that the tower blocks were necessary to offset the cost of new offices were misleading. He said: "Is that the right way of doing things? Shouldn't they pay for their own offices, rather than demolishing perfectly respectable housing and severely disrupting the surrounding community?"
Labour councillor Stephen Cowan argued that there are alternative plans the Council could have considered that would not have involved the construction of two high-rise blocks of flats. He believes that the Council determinedly stuck to their plan, despite widespread objection, because of the refurbishment savings – namely £35million worth of new council offices provided for free. He said: "A lot of people buy around here because it's a beautiful area. Dickens wrote his plays here, Handel wrote a lot of his compositions here, and they're now going to stick in ugly blocks of flats all so they can get £35million worth of offices."
Local residents and the West London Architects Group proposed alternative plans that included refurbishing the current Town Hall, scrapping the proposed tower blocks of flats, and saving the cinema. However, Conservative councillors argued that the £35million that had been quoted for the cost of new offices would fall on the taxpayer unless they were provided for free by the developers in return for the two tower blocks of residential flats.
Residents believed the developers would be making a lucrative investment due to the desirable riverside location of the flats, alongside Hammersmith's status as the third most expensive area in the country to buy property. King Street Development declined to comment on how much they would stand to gain financially from the two blocks of flats.
Councillor Harry Phibbs argued that new council offices were necessary, and that the King Street Development scheme provided a solution that benefitted both the Council and the taxpayer. He said: "It is a big financial consideration, and it's fair enough if people say they're prepared to pay a higher council tax to save the skyline but when I put it to people like that they don't want to face up to it."
However, when questioned about the perceived conflict between the aim of the Localism Act to empower communities and the residents' feeling that their misgivings were falling on deaf ears he said: "Some of the time it's easy to object to things in a very outspoken way and it's harder to come up with alternatives that are viable.
"Amongst the critics of the proposal there's a lack of consensus about what the alternative should be. The main objection is the height of the towers but if you then just say 'Well let's just leave things as they are and rebuild the town hall extension' then that would mean a big bill for council tax payers whereas this alternative scheme would save about £4million a year."
At a recent protest meeting against the Town Hall development, organised by the Save Our Skyline group, Labour councillor PJ Murphy said: "It makes my blood boil to see the Council canvas your views and then ignore them." Councillor Phibbs admits that current consultation processes on planning are ineffective. He said: "A lot of the consultation exercises are a box-ticking exercise, because it's a statutory requirement. People send in their comments and then feel frustrated when they don't seem to make any difference. I think the Localism Act will make community engagement more genuine."
The architect of the Localism Act, Conservative MP Greg Hands, wrote a foreword for the plain English version of the Act. In this he said: 'For too long, government has hoarded and concentrated power… it leaves people feeling 'done to' and imposed upon – the very opposite of the sense of participation and involvement on which a healthy democracy thrives.'
This feeling of empowerment was absent from the planning committee meeting last month. In the end the vote was a hurried one, taken at midnight after hours of angry words had been exchanged. Councillors voted 8-3 in favour of the planning application. The only response from the crowd was a collective shout of "Shame!" Mr Johnson's move to subsequently delay proceedings was seen by residents as further proof that their Council do not have their best interests at heart.

Mild temps, sunshine return ahead of next cold front
Posted March 14, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Sunshine will warm temperatures into the 60s Friday and Saturday, but cold temperatures and rain will return to central and eastern North Carolina by the end of the weekend, WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.
Temperatures were in the low 30s across much of the Triangle early Friday, but a high-pressure system situated off the southeastern coast of the state will help warm arrive filter into the area after lunchtime.
Daytime highs will climb into the low 60s, which is near normal for mid-March. On Saturday, continued sunshine will push temperatures into the upper 60s.
"If you want to make plans to be outside, do it either today or Saturday," Gardner said. "Winds will be much calmer on the final day of the work week, and the first day of the weekend will be beautiful."
On Sunday, however, an approaching cold front will push clouds into the area throughout the day. Rain showers will arrive during the late morning, filling across the Triangle from the west during the afternoon.
"We're going to end up seeing a lot of rain from this system, and it's going to stay with us for more than 24 hours," Gardner said. "Monday's commute could be extremely messy."
Cold air will also arrive with the front. Highs Sunday will be in the mid-50s, and they could struggle to reach 40 degrees on Monday.
"Depending on how much cold air we see come in, this precipitation could become mixed as the system is moving out overnight Monday and early Tuesday," Gardner said. "It's looking iffy at best, and we probably won't know more about our chances for wintry precipitation until we get a bit closer."

My DD is almost 14m and still BFing 4-7 times per day. A few weeks ago I was away for 5 days for work and with the pump I got about 21 oz per day on average. I've been pretty sick (cold, stomach flu, cold #2) for the last three weeks, plus I ovulated, so my supply has dropped a little bit, but I think that it is coming back now, although I haven't measured it by pumping.
My MIL, who watches DD during the day while I'm at work, keeps pressuring me to give DD fluids other than BM. I do already do that somewhat - she has a sippy cup with water in it that she can drink from at any time (she doesn't seem all that interested in it except to take a few sips every now and then, but maybe she just doesn't like water, or doesn't like sippy cups), and if she has already emptied my breasts and is still asking for more milk, I will give her some soy, coconut, or organic cows milk in a bottle (we're going to try to transition to a straw cup with that over the next few weeks). But I don't offer her other fluids unless she asks for it (she can sign "milk" and often does when she is thirsty/tired, etc).
MIL says that she gives her about 12-15 additional oz of soy or cow's milk during the days she is watching her and insists that I need to give her more fluids. She says, for example, that DD was really cranky after she got her this morning, and that she immediately drank up 7 oz of milk when she gave it to her after they came in from playing outside. DD was very happy and nursed several times before I dropped her off, and wasn't asking for additional milk at that time. She says that DD's poops are "very dry" on days after she has spent all day with me. I haven't noticed any difference - sometimes her poops are more or less solid, but they always look fine to me, and she is definitely wetting diapers regularly, although I haven't counted the number of hours specifically between wet ones.
I'm not opposed to offering DD additional fluids, but I also don't like getting all of this pressure to feed DD a bunch of other milks that are not BM. What do you guys do - do you offer non-BM fluids regularly, or only when the kiddo specifically asks?
If you do offer without waiting for the kiddo to ask, how do you decide how much to give when? (I think DD will basically always drink a bottle, whether she is thirsty or not... :))
And any tips on how to respond to concerns that a nursing toddler is getting dehydrated? (I feel like there is this implied criticism of BFing - as though by continuing to BF DD I'm somehow dehydrating her, and that makes me feel defensive, which I know isn't helpful...)
Thanks for reading my post!

I think the big issue here is whether it's worth having your MIL babysit. If she doesn't overstep here, it'll be somewhere else. You'll have to decide what's worth fighting and what's not. Good luck!
She may relax (or not, if she's decided this is to be An Issue) that BM is something like 80% water.
Our two year old gets BM, water, and the occasional coconut/almond milk mixed with water. MIL has been very confused and critical about this and even argued with me that juice didn't have any sugar in it since it didn't list "sugar" on the ingredients. Once the bad press came out about apple juice and FIL mentioned it, I haven't heard anymore about it. She thinks it is nuts that DH and I don't drink cow milk. She used to give DH's nephew cow milk when she babysat him, even though he was allergic to milk protein. He often got diarrhea when she watched him.
I am sorry you are having to deal with this.
Look up the signs of dehydration and give them to your MIL, but she may not care if she believes she is right.
I got tired of my signature, but I still love my children and husband and miss my little brother.
Thanks for the replies mamazee and McGucks! We've been trying to just give her BM and water, and I've been working on MIL. She was somewhat convinced when she found that the LO ate more solid food when she didn't give her milk, but she still insists on giving her milk when she seems tired and is ready to go down for her nap. I've been stressing that even if she really thinks she needs a bottle instead of a sippy cup, she can still drink water in a bottle instead of milk. I haven't succeeded on that one yet, though. I'm not totally against milks, I just don't want too many calories coming from any one food (except BM) as a general principle. So that's where we are.
McGucks, I totally know what you mean about the juice - we had this discussion with MIL earlier, and luckily she was convinced after I explained why the sugar in juice is bad, and that DD should only have fruit when it is whole. I have reactive low blood sugar, so I never drink juice (since that just brings on an almost immediate sugar crash), and I remember being in the hospital once where the nurse kept insisting that juice didn't have any sugar in it and I got so frustrated! My MIL and I also had to go back and forth about fats - when I told her that DD had to have full fat versions of things, she kept insisting that all animal fat was unhealthy in any quantity for everyone, but she is pro-BF, so I had to point out that BM has tons of animal fat in it. :)

I love kylie too they just misunderstood my comment
i respect your opinion , but Kylie gets my vote. oxox
as I love Kylie's voice sings very well live is great love is much better I love you kylie
Looking So Beautiful In This video…
It really doesn't. Get back to us when Lady Caca's marking her twentieth anniversary in music, okay?
titles titles titles. It's funny, at the end of the day these Pop artists really can't care for everyone of their single fans. most do it for the money and we're sitting here comparing. Like who you like. I believe all of these wonderful artists brought something to the table of Pop music. Gaga and Madonna are shock and awe artists both one in the same. There really isn't anyone as humble and as pleasant as Kylie. She is a lighter side of Pop who continues to grow stronger with age.
The best!!!
two words: Truth Hurts
gaga? bitch stop saying shit in front of pop royalty.
and don't take me wrong, I like madonna but Gaga is ahead of her and making her own title in pop music. Kylie is not in gaga's position but at least she is doing btter than madonna. Madonna is practically begging for attention but doing stupid things instead of using her old style which I strongly believe that would still be loved but then again she sold herself and now she makes typical pop singer crap like jessie j instead of staying true to herself so…Gaga kicks everyone's ass in pop now
uhh..not really? actually she hasn't released any hit lately and gaga has been putting a lot of pressure on madonna and her title, that's why she is so offended when she's compared to gaga. Also, she has been critized because of how she tries to call the attention now that she doesn't release anything good..want an example? Just watch at her concert showing her breasts…she was horribly critized because of that so..ur point is irrelevant, she may not need to promote her songs but they are fails
hahaha but kylie has promoted her song performing on tv and appearing in many tv shows, madonna has hardly given some interviews (don't call the super bowl performance a promotion for her album, it wasn't) and guess what, she has grossed more touring than gaga herself and, of course, than kylie..madonna's power baby….people keep interested on see her
wth are u talking about? she did pretty good with this song and guess what? Madonna has been releasing fail songs since her "comeback" no hits plus the fact that she tries to keep up with Lady Gaga which of course COULD happen but madonna sold herself to have more chances getting a hit song by using the same music style other people have…
jajaja kylie's last hit was in 2006, why do you think that madonna is still everywhere when kylie isn't?? she is just a normal singer, madonna is more than a simple singer 😛
Love this songgggg!
addicted to this song, love her 😛
Kylie is the only dance music queen! Madonna just sucks and dont have a good single from 20 years. Kylie never failed a shot, she is newer time after time.
madonna no es mas que una perra en el fondo republicana. Y en cuanto a su música ya está totalmente pasee. Ya empieza a ser repetitiva.
krokeane tienes razon es humilde y agradecida y hermposa q mas se le puede pedir ala vida con una mujer asi no como madona q esta llena de arrogancia y sobervia y mira maNTIENE ALOS HOMBRES Q ESTAN CON ELLA Q VERGUENZA DE MUJER ES ESTa madonaa

I'm not sure what the issue was Saturday night, but the Bruins looked like they were playing a regular season game in the middle of April out there. Are these guys fucking serious? That game was probably one of the worst displays of hockey I've seen from Boston this season. There was little jump to their step after a dominating Game 1. They seemed to be floating around out there. Much like Pittsburgh against New York, you have to try if you want to win games. You don't win games on paper.
Tonight will be a telling tale for the boys. It's the first playoff game in the ACC since 2004 and it will be loud. I mean, that's not saying much when you watch games on NESN because the Garden has sounded quiet on TV. I tried looking for decible levels during the playoffs, but I haven't been able to find any. Either way, Toronto is going to feed off of this energy in a big way.
It all stems from the Bruins finding their drive.
I know we use the term "lazy" a lot when it comes to the Boston Bruins, but I think that it's starting to be engrained in who they are. This team is either a bunch of world beaters or they are getting stomped on. There's really no middle ground. Saturday night, they got stomped on.
And I don't want to hear this bullshit about the refs.
(I forget who made this, but thanks)
The refs have been horrible all season long and continue to be horrible in every playoff series. Welcome to the NHL, where their referees are straight garbage. If the Bruins allow the referees to get in their heads, they deserve to lose. They're fucking professionals – they can't sulk because the refs have given the edge to the Maple Leafs.
Is it frustrating to watch your team get 8 seconds of power play time in one game? Yup, especially when Toronto was just as physical as they were – but those are the breaks. You know what doesn't win you games? Bitching about it. I have a better idea, stop being pussies and score some fucking goals.
Especially with this guy in net:
But then again, we have a coach who is making the NHL's active leading goal scorer playing with Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly. How about you put a finisher with Jaromir Jagr and not two players who finished with a combined 9 goals this season. How about moving Brad Marchand down to the third line and having Jagr with Bergeron and Seguin?
I mean, I have nothing against Kelly and Peverley, outside of the fact that neither of them are worth the amount of money they're being paid, but you can't expect Jaromir Jagr to perform well when those two can't get out of their own way. I mean, put the guy with Dan Paille and Greg Campbell at least.
I can't do this anymore.
I hope this team comes out with some fire in their belly because if leave Toronto down 3-1, I don't see a way they come back from it. Tonight is a pivatol game for the Bruins.
After the jump, the rest of the preview…
Boston Strong Pins
You guys remember @BosBruinsFan right? He's the guy who has made some of the best Photoshops we've ever seen, including this one:
Well he has teamed up with DaSilva Jewelry Designs and made a custom Boston Strong pin. The pin itself is $9.99, with $2 of every pin bought being donated to the families of the Boston Marathon bomings. Head over there and pick one up – it's a cool design you won't see anywhere else and it's donations are going towards a good cause.

LEE BARNARD has returned to Southend United on loan from Southampton until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old striker scored 37 goals in 85 starts during his initial spell with the Shrimpers which ended in January 2010.
And Blues boss Phil Brown is thrilled to have brought the forward back to the club.
"It's great news that we've managed to bring Lee to the football club and I'm sure he can make a good impression," said Brown.
"He obviously did very well for the club when he was here originally and hopefully he can have more success in front of goal as he did then.
"Lee hasn't played much first-team football so far this season but did well during two loan spells in League One last year.
"We've got some very important games coming up and I felt it was key that we added another striker to our ranks."
Billericay based Barnard is free to make his debut in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Hull City tomorrow.


text: Publishers Marketplace reports that Crown has decided to cancel their plans to publish Melissa Dumas' LIVE TO TELL: My Life as Madonna's Nanny, which had been pre-empted by Lindsey Moore in a major deal. The house simply says "it will not be publishing the memoir to be authored by Madonna's former nanny, Melissa Dumas. The rights to the book have been released to the author, who is represented by Martin Literary Management." Which, of course, leaves us to wonder why a) Crown keeps making book deals they have to cancel b) what really happened. A Crown spokeswoman had not as yet returned contact attempts.

Powerful Preferences: Appearance Settings
This is the third in a series of posts on Accordance preferences. We've already covered the General settings here and here. Today, we'll look at the Appearance settings.
The Appearance preferences present you with a number of broad ways you can change the look of Accordance. While this is not the place to go to change the font used in your various texts and tools (click Text Display or Tool Display for that), Appearance is the place to go when you want to make more fundamental changes, such as the maximum width of a line of text or how quickly to auto-scroll.
The options under Text Appearance let you make some interesting typographic changes. The first of these lets you specify the maximum width of text in a window. For example, if you have a wide screen and a workspace with only one tab, you may end up with a very wide column of text.
Since this can be hard to read, you may want to specify that a column of text can be only six inches wide. To do that check Limit text width and then drag the slider to six inches. When you click OK, even the widest window will show a column of text no wider than six inches. Any additional space will appear as white space to the left and right of the text.
The next text display option is to use ligatures in fonts that support it. Ligatures are combinations of letters that share common elements, such as fl and fi. The following screen shots show the same text with the use ligatures option unchecked and checked:
Without ligatures
With ligatures
Remember that ligatures are only supported in certain fonts, so you won't see a difference with older, legacy fonts.
Another text appearance option is to use European verse notation. With this option checked, Accordance will display verse references according to European conventions. It will also interpret verse references in searches accordingly.
A similar option is to have Accordance use SBL standard abbreviations for Bible book names. Check this option, and Accordance will display book names using SBL abbreviations.
In addition to the Text Appearance options just mentioned, Accordance offers a few Other appearance options. Here you can set the font size of text in Browser panes such as the Library and the Tool window's Table of Contents. You can also adjust the speed of auto-scrolling, choose to use a white background for pictures instead of the default black, and turn on or off the automatic widening of the Tool window's Table of Contents browser when you mouse over it.
Accordance 10: Making Features More Discoverable
Last week, I blogged about how Accordance 10 tries to strike a balance between hiding lesser-used features that might add to a new user's learning curve, while still keeping them easy to find and easily within reach. Today I want to show how some of our efforts to simplify the interface have actually made many features more easily discoverable.
One example of this is the new gear icon in the top right corner of every text pane. Click this icon, and the first item you'll see is Move Up or Move Down. This option replaces the pane orientation icon that you could click to move a pane to the top or bottom of a search tab.
While selecting an item from a menu is admittedly less convenient than merely clicking an icon button, the menu item offers a clearer explanation of what you can expect to happen. What's more, the gear menu enabled us to include other pane-specific commands that had previously been available in the main menu bar (such as Set Text Pane Display… and About This Text…), as well as one new feature (Reading Mode), and an old one you may never have discovered (Auto-scroll).
Auto-scroll has been around since Accordance 7, and it has long been one of my favorite features. It basically turns Accordance into a teleprompter, slowly scrolling the text of any pane so you can read it hands-free.
By the way, here's an interesting bit of Accordance trivia for you: our lead developer actually programmed the auto-scroll feature in the exhibit hall at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco! While the rest of us were demonstrating to the conference attendees, he was quietly writing code on his laptop. When I got a break, he called me over and showed me the cool new feature he had developed right there on the floor of the Moscone Center. When it comes to improving Accordance, we don't even let a major convention slow us down!
Prior to Accordance 10, auto-scroll had to be enabled in the Preferences. To start the scrolling, you had to command-click one of the arrows of the scrollbar. Consequently, few people discovered this cool little feature. When Apple removed the arrows from the scrollbar in Lion, we had even more incentive to offer a better way to activate the feature. The new Gear menu was the obvious solution, so we put it there.
Now I think we can safely assume that more of you will discover Auto-scroll and take advantage of it, along with all the other features available through the new Gear icon.

The Grizzlies may be having a hard time hanging with the Spurs in the Western Conference finals, but if the playoffs for some reason become an Instagram competition, Memphis will win in a landslide.
That's because Grizzlies guard Quincy Pondexter has perhaps the cutest pet in the history of organized sports in his Husky puppy, Buckets. Pondexter first brought Buckets to the public's attention when the dog accompanied him to practice, and he's since started a Twitter feed so Buckets can communicate with the rest of the world.
After Memphis played poorly in its 105-83 Game 1 loss Sunday, the Grizzlies may be looking at a quick beginning to their offseason. If it's an offseason filled with pictures like this, though, Pondexter and his fans may not have much to disagree with.
Check out some photos of Buckets (he even gets to drive a Porsche!).
When I first got home, I laid down next to a basketball. That's how my pops, @quincypondexter, came up… instagram.com/p/ZbHvsbtl7o/—

What a fun time we had last night talking about conflict resolution. I talked about the choice we have to follow the path of humility or the path of pride.
I am challenged by this choice especially in times of conflict. I may or may not have admitted on the webcast dumping water on my husband in bed once when we were having a particularly interesting growth opportunity. Oh my.
My amazing friend, Tonia, led Kelly Stamps, Courtney Joseph, Dr. Tim Clinton and I in some insightful conversations about resolving conflict.
This is one you'll want to watch with your family and friends. Think of it as one of the best counseling sessions you'll go to, only it's FREE!
Click here to watch the webcast replay. It will be available until the webcast next Thursday!
Once you watch the webcast, leave me a comment here to let me know what resonated with you. And to celebrate having over 14,000 viewers last night, I'm giving away 3 copies of the Unglued Bible Study DVD.
I'll announce the winners Tuesday. Have a happy weekend!

ro-life Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (MO-4) has marked the anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case by joining fellow pro-lifers who had ventured to Washington, D.C. to take part in the 38th Annual March for Life. She met with Concerned Women for America to update efforts to de-fund Planned Parenthood before joining about 200 Missourians at a pro-life event known as the Missouri Big Meeting.
"It does my heart good to see so many Missourians standing up for life," said Hartzler following the Missouri Big Meeting coordinated by Missouri Right to Life and the Missouri Life Caravan. "My pro-life views were already known to many of the good citizens attending the meeting, but I had the opportunity to tell those who were not familiar with my position that I stand for the protection of innocent lives - both the born and the unborn. I also informed the group of our efforts to de-fund Planned Parenthood, which performs abortions after receiving taxpayer dollars. It is bad enough that this organization is involved in the heinous act of providing abortions, but it rubs salt in the wounds for pro-lifers to see their tax dollars being delivered to Planned Parenthood. Government should, under no circumstances, be spending money for abortions!"
Following the meeting, Congresswoman Hartzler addressed tens of thousands of pro-life supporters who had gathered on the National Mall to mark the grim anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision to make the right to terminate a pregnancy the law of the land.

Historically misunderstood to be rare and relatively benign, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are increasingly common and are now regarded as malignant neoplasms that can cause debilitating symptoms and potentially life-threatening issues for patients.1-5
Unlike lung cancer, which arises from the lung, or a breast cancer that arises from the breast, neuroendocrine tumors arise from a cell type. These neuroendocrine cells can really arise from [almost] anywhere in the body.
– Dr Lowell Anthony
This shift in mindset is driving healthcare professionals and patient advocates to seek ways to make more timely and accurate diagnoses of NETs and emphasize the need for appropriate management strategies, including the importance of early treatment interventions.
In fact, the increasing incidence of NETs may be due, in part, to heightened awareness and improved diagnosis.6

POLICE: On-line predator lured teenage boy to his dorm room
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:22:08 GMT —
A TSTC student is behind bars after he allegedly used Facebook to lure a teenage boy to his dorm room for a sexual encounter.
Texas State Technical College police booked 18-year-old Moses Phillip Stratton into the Cameron County Jail on Monday.
Court records show that the Allied Health major is accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy.
According to the records, Stratton met the boy on Facebook about two weeks where they allegedly started messaging each other.
The boy went to Stratton's dorm room back on the night of Monday, June 10th where they allegedly had a sexual encounter.
Under TSTC regulations, dorm residents are not allowed to receive visitors after midnight.
A TSTC police officer stopped the teenage boy when he was leaving Stratton's dorm room around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 11th.
The officer learned what had happened prompting a criminal investigation.
The boy's parent's told police that their son did not have permission to be on the TSTC campus that night.
Police charged Stratton with on-line solicitation of a minor and sexual assault of a minor.
Records show that Stratton is from the Willacy County community of San Perlita and did not appear to have a previous criminal record.
Stratton remains in custody at the Cameron County Jail under $50,000 dollars in bonds.
TSTC Reaction
TSTC spokeswoman Lynda Lopez told Action 4 News that Stratton would be facing a disciplinary hearing and action.
It is the third incident that ended with an arrests at the TSTC dorms since January.
Lopez said that the school's police department routinely patrolling the dorms and it's that presence that has lead to all three arrests.
"We have a very vigilant police presence both on campus and a tthe dorms," Lopez said.

Four members of Scandia Fire and Rescue participated in the American Lung Association Fight For Air Firefighter Climb in Minneapolis Feb. 22. Wearing full turnout gear wearing more than 40 pounds, the men climbed 31 stories of the U.S. Bank Plaza in under 10 minutes. They raised $1,256 for the American Lung Association of Minnesota.
"This was a timed event, but our goal as a team was to not race but make it from point A to point B," said fireman Erich Kertzscher, who ran stairs at the Scandia fire station to train for the event.
It was the department's debut in the annual event. Former Chief Jim Finnegan suggested members participate. Fireman Bill Schwartz volunteered, and Mike Frank, Dave Mead and Kertzscher joined him.

Gnocchi With Seared Shrimp And Pesto
Quick look
- prep 10 min cook 15 min
- serves 4
SECRET INGREDIENT: arugula
Gnocchi, little dumplings made with potatoes, are the perfect canvas for the light and aromatic flavors of pesto. Here, some of the traditional basil is replaced by peppery arugula, which perfectly complements the seared shrimp.
- 1 bag (16 ounces) gnocchi pasta
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- 2 cup packed fresh arugula
- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound peeled and deveined extra-large shrimp
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions.
- 2
Combine the walnuts, arugula, basil, garlic, Romano, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the nuts, arugula, and basil are finely chopped. With the machine running, add 1/2 cup of the oil in a slow, steady stream. Process until fairly smooth but not a puree, about 1 minute.
- 3
Toss the shrimp with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. [step-item number="4" image_url="" title="" ]Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the shrimp. Cook, turning once, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and shrimp.
- 5
Toss the gnocchi with 1/2 cup of the pesto and the shrimp. Divide among four serving bowls.
- 6
Serve the remaining pesto in a bowl on the side.

text: Posted January 16, 2012 · Report post Hey, Just wondering if anyone has ever tried NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash? I've been recommended a Glycolic wash several times by different clinics, but always been put off by the idea it will strip my skin of any moisture. However, I went for the first of a course of peels last week (that has been disastrous) and decided to buy the cleanser they recommended. I'm still in two minds whether to try it. The strength of the cleanser is 20%. Ingredients: Aqua, Glycolic Acid, PEG-8, Alcohol Denat, Arginine, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Ammonium Hydroxide, Lactobionic Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Citus Paradisi Fruit Extract, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin.

Based out of Gainesville, Florida, Rolls n' Bowls is a made-to-order Japanese kitchen. In need of a new identity — one that could accentuate its strengths and propel the company from local stronghold to national franchise — Rolls n' Bowls called on 160over90.
Upon developing a concept that focuses on customers' ability to create the most unique sushi rolls, salads, and rice bowls they desire, Yume Umē was born. In addition to this new name and identity, 160over90 created a logo, website, menu, and campaign pieces by the project's end.
Japanese for "Delicious Dream," Yume Umē now emphasizes the role of imagination and creativity in the experience at Yume Umē, where "Imagination is Edible."
"The name fits what we do and it has so much potential. It has a subliminal message as well as a strong meaning. Our name is creative, fun, unique, fresh, and intelligent."

"Orioles Magic" has been a catchphrase all season long for the O's, as the team has consistently found incredible ways to win close games time and time again. On Thursday night, that magic took a visible form, with the players willing themselves to score in the 13th inning of a must-win Game 4 against the Yankees.
After a leadoff double by rookie third baseman Manny Machado, starting pitcher Joe Saunders convinced his teammates to get their rally caps going. So, the players each took their hats and placed them on the dugout railing, pointing them towards the outfield wall, where they wanted the ball to go.
The ball obliged, as J.J. Hardy ripped a double to left-center, scoring Machado and spurring the O's to victory. Not content, the team then turned to shaking Gatorade bottles in the hopes of scoring some insurance.
It all paid off with a 2-1 win for Baltimore, setting up a winner-take-all Game 5 against the Yankees on Friday night. Check out the dugout antics from Game 4 in the video below.

SHERIDAN — In the field of high school sports, rodeo isn't the easiest to get a college scholarship for, but Kylee Cahoy has it figured out.
She's been rodeoing since she was 3 years old, and she's been on a horse for longer than that. Now a senior in high school, she practices four to five hours a night as a member of the Sheridan High School team. Thursday, she signed her national letter of intent to rodeo at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, a college in Alva, Okla., near the state's northern border with Kansas.
"I've been riding horses since I was 2 years old," Cahoy said. "I guess it's kind of a family-based sport, it helps because the whole family does it. When I started high school rodeo, I decided I wanted to college rodeo because high school just prepares you for it."
Out of her three events — breakaway roping, team roping and barrel racing — Cahoy says barrel racing is her favorite. She just got a new horse, Romeo, and he "makes it fun," she said.
Through five rodeos this season, she's the fourth-ranked barrel racer in Wyoming High School Rodeo Association state standings, trailing the first-place rider from Jackson by 12 points. Her favorite and best event, she's had second and third place barrel racing finishes three different times this spring, at rodeos in Rock Springs and Laramie.
The rodeo team is not affiliated with the high school and does not technically have a coach. Parents and mentors help the kids along the way.
Every sport has its obstacles when it comes to reaching the next level, but for rodeo those challenges are unique, especially in Sheridan.
"That's kind of what you're looking for, that scholarship with high school rodeo," Kylee's mom Lorie Cahoy said. "Last year at the high school finals she had a chance to talk to rodeo coaches from all over the country.
"It was pretty cool to get to do that all in one place, it will help a lot as an individual sport it's an expensive event compared to anything else."
In addition to her parents, Lorie and Dale, Cahoy's been helped by family friend and SHS counselor Brenda White who takes Cahoy to rodeos in South Dakota, Gillette and Billings where there are indoor arenas out of the Wyoming winter.
"It's just good to have parents like these guys to make sure she has a place to go and animals to practice on," White said. "And we have fun when we're doing it. That's the cool part."
Right now, they're into the heart of the high school season, where the schedule waits to make sure that the weather is going to cooperate before coming up to the outdoor arenas in the northern part of the state. The high school team will compete in Buffalo May 25 and in Sheridan May 26-27.
The state finals are the weekend after the Sheridan rodeo, and the National Finals will be held July 14-20 in Rock Springs. Reaching the HSNF is Cahoy's goal for her senior season. In the fall, she plans to study biology and hopes to eventually enter a radiology program in Oklahoma. On the rodeo team she'll be coached by bulldogger and six-time NFR qualifier Stockton Graves.
"No snow," she laughed when prompted as to why she chose the school. "Rodeo is bigger there," she continued. "There are more places, chances to go and compete. There's no off season for rodeo, we go all year round."

Homelessness charity gets $1.8m funding boost
The New South Wales Government has announced $1.8 million in funding for a Sydney charity which provides training and meals for homeless people and the disadvantaged.

Death by Discussion
Question: My department chair, "Zippy," is addicted to meetings. We need a new computer gizmo? Let's have a meeting. We've got a sadistic heating system in our building? Let's have a meeting. We have to do something about bathroom graffiti, accreditation, plagiarism, sexual harassment, sick leave, cyberbullying, layoffs, chalk, or new shelves and curtains for the lounge? Let's have a separate meeting for each one!
Let's meet, meet, meet!
Zippy lives alone and doesn't have a life, but we do. How can we get him to leave us alone?
Answer: Ms. Mentor agrees that one person's meeting can be another one's poison. Meetings can chew up your life, eviscerate the blocks of time you need for writing and thinking, and mentor you into oblivion.
They can be good if they're focused, and the best ones can build community: "We're in this together—let's tunnel our way out." Meetings are also the lab for newbies to learn "departmentese," the language of self-interest (so named by Kathryn Hume in Surviving Your Academic Job Hunt).
But good meetings are rare.
Academic souls love to pontificate, and any wide-ranging discussion opens the door to the winds. "Populus" found this out when, as chair at Pop U., he announced that "total democracy" would be his "signature leadership style." Everyone would be invited to every meeting, so "no one feels unheard." Within a month, faculty members were begging for a dictator.
"Fritz" learned that lesson, too, when he forced his faculty to endure 15 meetings in one semester—until senior professor "Anne" rose up and said, "No more. We all have real work to do." Younger faculty members, who'd been missing their lives, wept with gratitude.
Ms. Mentor cheers Anne and wonders why smart people like Fritz won't consolidate the issues into one or two meetings, with a strict agenda. Maybe he's afraid of doing something wrong.
Ms. Mentor knows people who do crave meetings. "Dave," at Impersonal U., uses them for his social life, and he's known for ambushing colleagues and regaling them with what happened at the Faculty Senate. At Miser U., one group of faculty misanthropes created a caucus so they could meet regularly to complain. They also like speculating about everyone else's salaries, which they could look up but don't think is sporting to do.
Large, untamed faculty meetings can bring out the beast in everyone. Nitpickers thrive ("Split infinitive on page 6"). Sycophants glow ("What an elegant synthesis by our brilliant chair"). Professor Van Winkle rambles about the good old days ("Students used to worship Aristotle"). The young are told how lucky they are ("We used Bunsen burners, and one day Professor Archimedes' hair caught on fire. Haw haw haw!").
If there's a leadership vacuum during a meeting, the Great Thinkers rush in. No wimpy immediate needs, no matter how urgent, will stop their deliberations.
When the Great Thinkers take over, any immediate change is doomed. The project may limp along for years, with new levels of ad hoc and standing committees and subcommittees, task forces, research teams, and outside experts, all of whom report regularly in meetings. Meanwhile the troops, the beleaguered faculty, get bored, grouchy, or die, while the train moves on. Once the study is concluded or abandoned, the report will be duly shelved. All involved will be thanked for their service.
But in a fit of mild optimism, Ms. Mentor admits that some things are best handled in face-to-face meetings. Teaching, for instance. She loathes online courses.
Within departments, there should be a greet-everybody reception at the beginning of the year, with good snacks. Anything to do with hiring or firing should not be put in writing until a decision's been made in live discussion. Negotiations or conspiracies about money shouldn't be in e-mails. Scandalous tidbits should be whispered in person and not shared online—because no one can resist forwarding juicy secrets. University e-mails are too easy to find, subpoena, or satirize.
Most nonacademic decisions can be handled by e-mail—preferably by dictatorial decree. "We shall have new lighting on the first floor" needn't be discussed by anyone.
When meetings must happen, it is a far, far better thing to scarf up and digest little bits of cheese as quickly as possible. Have a clearly defined agenda. Have a sample draft. Have a time limit for discussion, and have a vote, after which the meeting is over.
Never succumb to the siren song: "If you really cared about the issue, if you really loved us, you would appoint a committee."
Zippy must be redirected. If he brims with energy, then encourage him to do more for the pay and working conditions of adjuncts. If senior professors won't rein in Zippy's zeal for incessant meetings, you can make deals with friends and take turns attending. You can ask Zippy for comprehensive agendas "to prepare my thoughts. What will we be discussing and deciding?" You can also tie meetings in knots with parliamentary maneuvers—though only truly committed mischief makers, or those seeking material for academic novels, can stomach doing that.
You can bury Zippy with praise, so he'll feel more secure and less needy. You can try to find him a social life. Take him out for coffee. Suggest he hold brown-bag lunches ("We'll talk!") instead of formal meetings. Bring him chocolates. Resist the temptation to sign him up for an online dating service. Or you can, anonymously, leave this column on his desk, with the following paragraph highlighted:
A good meeting is for decision-making. It's not for announcements or incessant frothing and ventilating. Ideally everyone leaves feeling that something's been accomplished. People know what they need to do to make this a better department and a better world. The best meetings are short and pointed, like a good stick.
Question: I'm an eminent scholar who's given talks all over the world. I used to get lovely thank-you notes, some even handwritten. But since the advent of texting, I don't get any kind of thank-you at all, except sometimes an offhand, "Oh, yeah, thanks, bye," as I'm leaving. Is this yet another example of the decline of civilization in our barbarous times?
Answer: Yes.
Sage readers: Ms. Mentor renews her invitation to her flock. Step right up and be a judge for the annual Ackies, the awards she gives for the best academic novels.
Judges may choose to read any academic novels from any year, except the previous winners, listed at http://chronicle.com/article/Novel-Academic-Novels/127748. Recommended novels for judging are listed at that site, along with more nominations in the comments. Recent correspondents have also suggested E. M. Broner's The Red Squad, E. M. Dadlez's The Sleep of Reason, Will Forest's Naked Co-Ed Philosophy, Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding, and Eric Zencey's Panama.
What must a judge do? For each novel you choose to judge, write three sentences about what strikes you about it: plot, characters, verisimilitude, humor or horror, strengths and weaknesses. You must also award your novel a letter grade (A through F). Tough grading is expected. Judges' reports are due to firstname.lastname@example.com by May 15.
(Past winners, now ineligible: Kingsley Amis, Vance Bourjaily, A. S. Byatt, Amanda Cross, Don DeLillo, Percival Everett, James Hynes, Mat Johnson, David Lodge, Chandra Prasad, Terry Pratchett, Philip Roth, Richard Russo, Jane Smiley, Zadie Smith, and Donna Tartt.)
Ms. Mentor regrets that you will not be paid the mighty sum that you deserve (you won't be paid at all), but no one can ever take away the priceless pleasure of seeing your name in Ms. Mentor's column. There is no higher grade in academia. You can also put it on your vita.
As always, Ms. Mentor invites queries, gossip, and rants. She can rarely respond personally. Confidentiality is guaranteed, and identifying details are whitewashed. No one will know whose dirty laundry you've shared.
