China TV grows racy, and gets a chaperon
The show, "If You Are the One," is the most-talked-about show in China. Bright young men and women court each other on stage to pop music and audience applause.
Mixed into the provacative banter are trenchant social issues that urban Chinese from their 20s to 40s grapple with, if not always so publicly: living together before marriage, the unabashed pursuit of wealth or the government's one-child policy.
"Through this show, you can tell what China is thinking about and chasing after," said Mr. Wang, a veteran television producer.

ASEAN: Can US open door to Asia trade by softening stance on China?
Following the lead of its ASEAN partners, the US has replaced tough talk about China with calls for cooperation. At stake is a share of the booming trade supplying a rising consumer class in Southeast Asia.
Concerned that the United States is missing out on the boom in trade serving a burgeoning consumer middle class across much of Southeast Asia, the Obama administration is busy fine-tuning its famous "pivot to Asia."Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Out is the administration's focus of recent years on security issues, with its emphasis on a rising China and on letting China's neighbors know that the US intends to remain a Pacific military power ready to counter any country's aggressive actions in the region.
In is a broadened policy that gives more weight to America's economic and business interests in countries from Vietnam to Malaysia – and that puts more emphasis on cooperation with China.
The pivot of the pivot is evident this week in Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's travel through Southeast Asia, which is to include stops in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Speaking Tuesday in Hanoi – which she lauded as "a pretty cool place" (perhaps playing with words and subtly referencing Washington's recent record-breaking heat) – Secretary Clinton chose to underscore "the breadth of our engagement" in the Asia Pacific.
"It's not just about security, although that is important," she said of the administration's efforts to "reenergize" America's regional ties. "It's also about standing up for democracy and human rights," she told the American Chamber of Commerce, and "for economic ties, boosting trade, and as secretary of State, advocating for American businesses."
When Clinton stops in Laos on Wednesday she'll be the first secretary of State to visit that country since John Foster Dulles in 1955. And whereas his purpose over a half-century ago was to keep Laos from becoming a communist domino, Clinton will emphasize America's role in regional cooperation efforts when she meets the country's leaders.
Clinton's focus on boosting economic ties contrasts sharply with the message she carried to Southeast Asia when she last visited in 2010. Her trip then, which also included Hanoi, was portrayed more as putting China on notice that America would be around to counterbalance any aggressive action in the South China Sea than as a business and trade mission.

Quick Hits
Thursday's Game: Illinois (8-6, 1-1) heads to Evanston to take on Northwestern (8-7, 0-2) on Thursday after winning two of three games against ranked opponents. The Illini grabbed a 79-73 win at RV/#24 Ohio State on Sunday, snapping the Buckeyes' 31-game home win streak and marking Illinois' first win in Columbus since 2001. The Illini have won four of their last six games, including a 2-1 mark in their last three games, with all three coming against ranked foes. Illinois is in the midst of a stretch where five of six games (12/28-1/17) are against teams ranked or receiving votes in the Associated Press poll.
Illini Receive Votes in AP Poll: Illinois collected four points in this week's Associated Press poll, marking the first time since Dec. 7, 2009, that the Illini have appeared in the "others receiving votes" portion of the AP poll. Illinois was last ranked by AP (No. 24) on Nov. 27, 2000.
Penn Keeps Awards Coming: A week after she was named national player of the week by espnW and the USBWA, and Big Ten player of the week, senior forward Karisma Penn was named Big Ten player of the week on Jan. 7. She posted a career-high 34 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in Illinois' 79-73 win at Ohio State, and added 15 and 9, respectively, in a one-point overtime defeat to No. 14 Purdue on Jan. 2. She broke the Illinois record with 16 made free throws in 17 attempts against OSU and for the week, she shot 60 percent (15-of-25) from the floor. The week before, Penn scored a game-high 27 points and grabbed a career-best 19 rebounds to key Illinois' win over No. 6 Georgia. She also blocked two shots, becoming the Illini's career blocks record-holder.
Penn Dominates Late in Games: Karisma Penn has become a dominant force late in games recently, scoring 11 of Illinois' last 18 points against No. 6 Georgia and 18 of the last 26 Illini points in the 79-73 win at Ohio State. She also scored five of Illinois' last eight points in regulation before fouling out halfway through the overtime period in the 67-66 loss to No. 14 Purdue on Jan. 2.
Illinois Gets It Done Down Low: The Illini have controlled games in the paint lately, outscoring their last three foes 106-80 in the post. Illinois out-paced No. 6 Georgia 32-18 and outscored No. 14 Purdue 38-28.
Illini Relish Underdog Role: Illinois has won two of its last three games against ranked opponents after beating AP-ranked No. 6 Georgia on Dec. 28 and Ohio State, who was No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, on Jan. 6. Prior to that, the Illini's most recent test against a ranked foe was when Illinois topped No. 10 Ohio State, 66-65, on Feb. 9, 2012, in Champaign. That win snapped a 20-game losing streak to ranked foes that dated back to 2008. Illinois is 42-168 all-time against AP-ranked opponents and 29-68 at home.
Reliving the Win Over #6 Georgia: The Illini jumped out to a 31-13 lead against the Lady Bulldogs and used a 13-5 run in the second half that turned a tie game into a 65-52 Illinois advantage with 3:20 remaining. The Orange and Blue forced 26 turnovers and outscored Georgia 32-18 in the paint while out-rebounding the Lady Bulldogs 42-41. The key was Illinois' defense in the second half, holding Georgia to 30 points on 29 percent shooting after halftime.
RPI Jumps After Upset: The Illini's RPI, according to the official NCAA report released this week for the first time, jumped 10 spots from 82 to 72 as a result of Illinois' win at Ohio State on Jan. 6. That comes after the Illini made a significant RPI jump following the victory over Georgia on Dec. 28. According to RealTimeRPI.com, the Orange and Blue have faced one of the top schedules in the country, as Illinois' slate is rated No. 19 and third-best among Big Ten squads. Six of the Illini's Big Ten foes have RPI figures of 60 or better in the NCAA report.
Offense Thrives Under Bollant: The Illini rank second in the Big Ten in scoring (through games of Jan. 6), averaging 73.2 points per game, and also rank 29th nationally. Through 14 games, the Orange and Blue are averaging 9.9 ppg more than last season's first 14 games scoring average of 63.3.
Stealing Attention: Illinois also ranks among the Big Ten leaders in steals, as its 11.0 thefts per game stand second in the conference. That is reflective of head coach Matt Bollant's emphasis on defense, as the Illini are averaging 2.4 spg more per game than through the first 14 games of last season. That also has helped the Illini in turnover margin as they stand second in the Big Ten at plus-3.2 per game.
Penn Does It All: Senior forward Karisma Penn leads the Big Ten in rebounding and blocked shots, ranks third in scoring and field-goal percentage, and seventh in steals, making her the only player in the conference to rank in the top 10 in all five categories. Penn also is the only player in the country to average 20.0 points per game, 10.0 rebounds per game and 2.5 blocks per game. A career 13.9 ppg scorer, Penn is up to 20.5 ppg so far this year. For more on Penn's strong start to her final season, see page 5.
Moore is Better: Junior guard Amber Moore also has increased her productivity under first-year head coach Matt Bollant, averaging 12.8 points per game after entering the season with a career average of 9.2 ppg. Moore is averaging 2.8 three-point field goals per game, fourth-best in the Big Ten, ranks second in the league in free-throw percentage (.903) and minutes played (37.0 mpg), and is eighth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.4:1). She also is among conference leaders (top 15) in scoring, assists and three-point field-goal percentage (.358). For more on her strong play this season, see page 6.
GodBold Returns to Action: Senior guard Adrienne GodBold made her season debut against No. 6 Georgia on Dec. 28 after missing the first half of the season for academic reasons. In three games this year, GodBold has shown why she earned Illinois' team MVP honors last year, recording her first career double-double against No. 14 Purdue (20 points, 11 rebounds), notching 14 points at Ohio State and scoring 11 points in 22 minutes in her debut against the Lady Bulldogs.
Scouting The Wildcats
Northwestern enters the week as one of three 0-2 teams in the Big Ten after dropping a 73-69 game at No. 9 Penn State on Jan. 3 and falling to Indiana, 68-64, on Sunday. The Wildcats began the season with six straight wins but have struggled since then, losing seven of their last nine games. They were one of three Big Ten teams (as well as Purdue and Minnesota) to open conference play with two road games.
Northwestern is ranked 108 in the latest RPI rankings released by the NCAA on Monday, with a schedule strength of 80 according to RealTimeRPI.com. Northwestern has two top-100 RPI wins, beating then-No. 51 Central Michigan on Nov. 11 and then-No. 81 Boston College on Nov. 28.
The Wildcats rank eighth in the Big Ten in scoring offense, 11th in scoring defense and 12th in scoring margin. They lead the league in blocked shots (6.3 bpg) and rank fifth in field-goal percentage defense (.355), but rank 12th in turnover margin (-2.3 per game) and three-point defense (.330).
Senior Dannielle Diamant ranks fourth in the league in rebounding (8.3 rpg) and is sixth in blocked shots (1.5 bpg). Sophomore Karly Roser stands second in assists (6.5 apg) and ninth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.4:1).
Northwestern senior forward Kendall Hackney leads the way in scoring, averaging 14.6 ppg, which ranks 11th in the Big Ten. She also ranks 10th in three-point field-goal percentage (.373) and 12th in rebounding (6.7 rpg).
Northwestern Series History
Northwestern holds the advantage in the all-time series with the Illini by a 34-32 margin, thanks to victories in three of the last four meetings. The Wildcats had won three straight before Illinois snagged a 69-57 victory in the most recent game on Feb. 20, 2012, in Champaign. Prior to that string of three NU wins, though, the Illini had won 21 straight from 2000-2010 and 24 of 25 against the Wildcats. Northwestern leads the series in Evanston by a 17-12 margin and Illinois' last win at Welsh-Ryan Arena came by a 58-49 score on Feb. 28, 2010.
Last Meeting with the Wildcats
Amber Moore poured in a career-high 31 points, including a 5-for-7 effort from three-point range, as Illinois beat Northwestern, 69-57, on Senior Day in Champaign on Feb. 20, 2012. Illinois led 34-20 at halftime after holding the Wildcats to 20-percent shooting from the floor, and the Illini made 11-of-17 field goals in the second half to hold off Northwestern. Adrienne GodBold added 13 points and five steals, and Illinois shot 51.2 percent from the field in the game.
Last Time Out: RV/#24 Ohio State
Karisma Penn scored a career-high 34 points and pulled down 12 rebounds to propel Illinois to a 79-73 win over Ohio State, which was ranked No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, in front of 4,516 fans at Value City Arena on Sunday. Penn made a school-record 16 free throws in 17 attempts as part of her second 30-point outing of the year and scored 18 of Illinois' final 26 points in the game. The Illini were unconscious from the free-throw line, shooting 88.2 percent (30-of-34) from the stripe.
It marked Illinois' first win at Ohio State in 12 years, since a 75-73 victory on Jan. 9, 2001, and snapped the Buckeyes' 31-game home winning streak, which was the second-longest in the nation. Illinois' 79 points were the most OSU has allowed this season. Illinois scored 11 of the game's final 17 points, including a 7-of-8 effort from the line in the game's final 2:00. The Orange and Blue also came up with key rebounds late, snaring seven of the game's final eight rebounds in the game's final four minutes and 10 of the last 13 over the final 7:25.
Illini in NCAA Stats
Illinois continues to rank among the national leaders in a handful of statistical categories, through games of Jan. 6. The Illini stand 29th in scoring offense (73.2 ppg), 44th in blocked shots per game (4.7 bpg), 64th in steals per game (11.0 spg) and 65th in turnover margin (+3.21 per game).
Junior Amber Moore is 29th nationally in three-point field goals made per game (2.79). Senior Karisma Penn ranks 12th nationally in double-doubles (8), 16th in scoring (20.5 ppg) and blocked shots per game (2.64), 24th in rebounding (10.8 rpg) and 27th in field-goal percentage (54.5 percent). Also, her 16-of-17 free-throw performance against Ohio State on Jan. 6 is the top non-perfect outing in the nation by percentage this year and ranks 15th overall.
Sophomore Alexis Smith is 28th in the nation in assists per game (5.6). In addition, her 14 assists against Wake Forest (Nov. 29), are tied for the most in a game in the nation this year, and her 13 dimes against Cleveland State on Nov. 18 are tied for the second-most in the country.

Jose Ibarra's comments at the April 9 AUSD Board of Trustees meeting were not based on facts. According to the Californian, Mr. Ibarra stated that
Last week, Roberto Robledo chronicled, in his The Five R's column, the activities of at least 395 people, all engaged in positive activities at the newly expanded Cesar Chavez Library.
When I met Dennis Taylor at a Sustainable Ag Conference in San Luis Obispo a few months ago, it was a casual encounter. I had no idea he was so intuitive and gifted a writer.
Congratulations, first to Sgt. Bernardino Hernandez, who was honored after returning from Afghanistan at the same time his daughter Cynthia was being honored as Student of the Month (at the Sanchez School in Salinas).
When I read the article about Eraca Craig and Christian Deanda, who are accused of severely neglecting their three helpless, innocent children who could not fight back or voice an opinion on what went on with their case, I was appalled.
Kudos to Roberto M. Robledo for his front page column on Friday. Mr. Robledo reported several good news stories relating to public school districts, teachers, students and parents.
I applaud the Director of the Department of Pesticide Regulation, Brian Leahy, for taking steps to protect residents from the dangerous fumigant 1, 3-D.
I am fortunate to have a home under the beautiful and historic trees on Oak Street in south Salinas. I have worked with the City of Salinas Urban Forestry Dept.

Randy Travis Does Duets [VIDEOS]
Country singing legend Randy Travis has had many solo hits during his singing career since the 1980s. He's also done some duets.
Country singing legend Randy Travis has had many solo hits during his singing career since the 1980s. He's also done some duets.
Brad Paisley's newest record, This is Country Music, plays like a country rock mix tape curated and orchestrated by Paisley himself. It's packed with guest appearances from the likes of coiffed guitar acrobat Marty Stuart, classic rock crooner Don Henley and, of course, Paisley's go-to duet partner these days, Carrie Underwood. Plus, Clint Eastwood whistles the melody to the instrumental 'Eastwood.' If that sounds like the most awesome thing ever, well, what can we say?
Not that it's anything new for the 'Celebrity' singer - he's put together some great collaborations in his day. Check out our list of the five best Paisley duets of all time, and when you're done reading, head over to our Facebook page to enter for your chance to win a trip to West Palm Beach to see Paisley in concert - and meet him backstage.
Randy Travis is a living legend in country music. This year marks his 25th Anniversary as a recording artist. He was one of the artists that i grew up listening to as a kid. My parents played his albums all the time. He was certainly a reason I became a fan of country music.

The definition for a chronic illness is one lasting 3 months or more (U.S. National Center for Health Statistics). Seventy-five per cent of our health care spending is on people with chronic conditions. These persistent conditions - the nation's leading causes of death and disability - leave in their wake deaths that could have been prevented, lifelong disability, compromised quality of life, and burgeoning health care costs. The facts are arresting:
Read more about the coalition at http://www.chroniccareca.org/
What you can do.
The California Chronic Care Coalition is seeking stories about health consumers residing in California that currently are being denied health insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions for chronic health conditions of any kind and/or care or are assigned to a high risk-pool program that is beyond an affordable cost or fails to meet their minimum medical needs for a chronic illness or condition.
"We are also seeking statements from those that are interested in voluntarily testifying about their situation to California legislative committees within the next few days and weeks in order to paint real examples that will educate our law makers regarding the system deficiencies and need for reform," writes Bill Remak, Chairman, California Hepatitis C Task Force, Steering & Communications Committee Member, California Chronic Care Coalition.
"Anyone interested in responding to this appeal may contact me directly at my cell 707 364-1802 and/or leave a message or call Elizabeth Helms at 916-300-8687 during normal office hours. Please understand that a patient bringing information about their plight and disclosing publicly their personal private information, is waiving their right to privacy regarding the information they reveal but that in doing so this may be instrumental to provide the convincing facts for legislators and regulators to review existing policies and to improve them which may impact many thousands now and in the future."
"Thank you for your help and feel free to forward this to others. Due to the time restrictions we are working under, we cannot promise that all the responses we receive will be used."

Where there's a will there's a way and that's exactly how Talika was was born. Dr. Danielle Roches created an anti-bacterial cream with plant extracts to cure people suffering from face and eye burns due to war casualties only to discover it also was causing her patients lashes to grow quickly and dramatically.
Talika Lipocils was created from this discovery and has segwayed over the years into original and effective solutions to women's cosmetic needs. All products are clinically tested, independently, by a team of dermatologists at hôpitaux Paris Pitié-Salpetrière.
Cute and easy to use. However, there's no significant result on my skin, maybe that's because I use a mediocre cream. Also, it does not react well on masks (put off itself very often), which is the main purpose I bought it. However, m skin feels great when using it. It is just like a massage. If I have more budget I would have kept it, but now I decide to return it.

THE YEAR IN DANCE: A month-by-month look back at the twists, turns, and leaps of 2013
email@example.com [1]
YEAR IN DANCE This is not 12 Days of Christmas but 12 Months of Dancing. And while there were plenty of lords-a-leaping and ladies dancing (and even a few drummers drumming and pipers piping), there is nothing even remotely accumulative in this annual looking-back at the year that was. Chronology — and what stood out within a particular month because of the generating ideas — and their shape on the stage determined the (sometimes difficult) selection.
January Bebe Miller, a feminist post-modern choreographer, has been making work for over 25 years. So her multimedia A History (Jan. 25, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts), announced as a piece about "remembering remembering," sounded just about right. It was and it wasn't. The concept proved more intriguing than its realization, but watching the work attempt to give shape to complex ideas offered its own satisfaction.
February Modern dance repertory company Hubbard Street Dance Chicago teaming with Alonzo King LINES Ballet in the gorgeous Azimuth (Feb. 2, Cal Performances) seemed like one of the year's unlikelier projects. Yet to watch Hubbard's dancers take to LINES' skewed approach to ballet with such ease — and seeing King rise to the challenge of choreographing for a large ensemble with utter confidence — was surprising and delightful.
March With the world premiere of Alexei Ratmansky's From Foreign Lands (March 1, War Memorial Opera House) San Francisco Ballet acquired another treasure from possibly the most gifted ballet choreographer working today. In a series of beautifully distinct, picture-postcard scenes of refined dancing, the choreographer honored the roots of ballet in social dance. (Lands will return Feb. 18-March 1, during SFB's upcoming season.)
April As an Indian American dancer, singer, musician, writer, and actor, Sheetal Gandhi has a lot of resources. She excellently drew on all of them for Bahu-Beti-Biwi (Daughter-in-Law, Daughter, Wife)(April 19, ODC Theater), her humorous and poignant portrait of the restrictions that still shape Indian women's lives, both in this country and in India.
May The wild applause notwithstanding, it was such a relief to watch the end of Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg's overwrought Rodin (May 11, Cal Performances), based on the sculptor's relationship with his pupil and lover Camille Claudel. You try to keep an open mind about an artist's take on ideas, but sometimes it's time to say "enough is enough, never again."
June Though we also got versions by Yuri Possokhov and Bill T. Jones this year, Mark Morris and the Bad Ass Jazz Trio's Spring, Spring, Spring (June 12, Cal Performances) was the most radical as well as most cogent reinterpretation of The Rite of Spring. Forgoing the original choregraphy and using the score's four-hand version as musical inspiration generated a work of both ease and heft.
July Serendipity ruled. I happen to catch Pierre Lacotte's approximation of what Parisian audiences might have seen in 1832 with La Sylphide (July 9, Palais Garnier) generally considered the first Romantic ballet. Excellently — of course — performed by the Paris Opera Ballet, this version looked like a distant cousin of the one we know, and offered a feast of classical dancing set to a score with hokey charm.
August ODC/Dance's yearly Summer Sampler (Aug. 2-3, ODC Theater) is such a smart idea. As these superb dancers adapt themselves to their more intimate "home" theater and afford an opportunity to observe them up close, they newly reveal themselves as individuals and as a group. This year's splendidly performed program showcased ODC's most recent creation, the splendid Triangulating Euclid, Kimi Okada's sparkling new Two If By Sea, and the company premiere of Kate Weare's The Light Has Not the Arms to Carry Us.
September The San Francisco Dance Film Festival (Sept. 12-15, various venues) is growing up fast. This annual showcase of screen dance — the intricate partnering of two motion-driven arts — more than ever impressed with the range and quality of its lineup: shorts, documentaries and filmed versions of stage performances. Amy Dowling and Austin Forbord's Well Contested Sites, filmed on Alcatraz with professional performers and former prisoners, carved itself into your brain as well as into your heart.
October Somehow artists manage to scratch enough support together to keep working (and eating, and living) in the Bay Area. So anniversaries still happen. But I can't remember a recent one as joyous as Rhythms of Life: Down the Congo Line (Oct. 5, YBCA) for Dimensions Dance Theater's 40th. To see a whole generation ready to build on what Deborah Vaughan has started was not the least of its gifts.
November In Joe Goode's Annex, Jo Kreiter's Flyaway Productions just may have found a home. The venue's two-story ceilings and industrial look allowed Kreiter to add some discreet ladders, wires, and ropes as support structures for the aerial work she set on her six athletic women dancers. You can take the metaphor inside the piece any way you want, but Give A Woman A Lift (Nov. 8) soared.
December Like it or not, parenthood is life-changing. Maybe that's why, in Father On (Dec. 5, ODC Theater), Scott Wells' five dancers — four of who are recent dads — looked not only sleep-deprived but also often frantic. The one non-dad, Rajendra Serber, was the ultimate outsider. Using game structures and sports imagery, Wells created a hilarious but also curiously affectionate piece about the challenges and confusions encountered by the male and his kid. The lesson on becoming a sensitive father left me laughing through tears. *

Philip Hersh
12:17 AM EST, November 16, 2012
In an era when most talented young athletes pick one sport and play it year-round, Emery Lehman is a throwback to the age when kids played the field.
He is an all-star defenseman for the Oak Park-River Forest High School hockey team. He is a lacrosse midfielder for both the high school and a travel team.
At the same time, the Oak Park junior is among the most talented young speedskaters in the world, good enough to spend the next two weekends racing with the U.S. senior national team in Holland and Russia.
Lehman, 16, makes his senior World Cup debut Friday in the B division 5,000-meter race at speedskating's mecca, the Thialf oval in Heerenveen, Holland. He earned that spot by finishing a close second to Glenview's Brian Hansen, 22, a 2010 Olympic silver medalist, at U.S. team trials in Milwaukee earlier this month.
"I know I'm doing well, but I didn't know it would be this well," Lehman said via Skype. "I'm a little surprised."
Lehman clocked 6 minutes, 28.56 seconds. That made him the youngest skater to break 6:30, according to his coach, Jeff Klaiber, a two-time Olympian from Evanston. It also was a 10-second improvement on Lehman's personal best a year ago.
He was the youngest male skater at last season's Junior World Championships (up to age 19), where Lehman finished fifth in the 3,000. He still has three seasons of junior eligibility left.
Lehman drew a 5,000 pairing with 36-year-old Dutchman Bob de Jong, a four-time Olympian and 2006 gold medalist who began international competition before Lehman was born.
"Emery is precocious," Klaiber said.
No matter what era he represents, Lehman is ahead of his time — so much so that by the end of this season he may have to decide the moment has come to devote himself completely to speedskating. The next Winter Olympics are barely 15 months away, and Lehman is becoming a strong contender for a spot on the U.S. team.
"Right now, things are working well as they are," Klaiber said. "We won't draw a hard line in the sand.
"I think it's a great psychological benefit to be in different sports. If you have a crappy day in one, you can have fun in the other. It takes the pressure off in each sport."
Lehman feels the same way. Olympics or not, he intends to play lacrosse again this spring and summer and would like to be back with the hockey team next year.
"Hockey is a lot more exciting than just turning left all the time on the ice," Lehman said, referring to racing on an oval.
"Hockey and lacrosse also are good cross-training sports. Off ice, speedskaters usually do inline or bike. I'm not a fan of those."
Klaiber, who played hockey until he was 14, has one main reservation over that approach. He worries enough about the 6-foot, 164-pound Lehman getting hurt in hockey that the coach is scared to watch him play.
"I'm pretty cautious," Lehman said.
"He delivers absolute monster hits," said Oak Park varsity hockey co-coach Andrew Corvo. "When he hits another kid, you can feel it."
Corvo said the balance and explosiveness Lehman develops in speedskating helps in hockey.
"He doesn't get knocked down, and he is always first to the puck," Corvo said.
John Combs, his coach at Team One lacrosse, said Lehman is a "very skilled player" with the potential to join a "high-level Division III to mid-level Division I" college program. Corvo said Lehman would have a shot at Division III hockey.
Lehman's obstacles in hockey come from the number of games he misses for speedskating commitments, especially with overseas travel. Corvo said he hears occasional grumbling from parents of other players, especially because the roster is small.
From Klaiber's standpoint, the other problem with Lehman playing hockey is fatigue.
"It's hard if he has a hockey game until 11:30 at night and a race the next morning in Milwaukee," Klaiber said.
Lehman's schedule is hard no matter what, even with complete cooperation from the high school (he leaves at 12:30 p.m. each day) and coaches.
"I think it's pretty normal," Lehman insisted.
Mondays and Wednesdays, Lehman's grandfather drives him near the intersection of the Eisenhower Expressway and the Tri-State Tollway. Chicago area coach Steve Penland picks Lehman up there, drives him to the Pettit Center in Milwaukee for training and then drives him back to meet his grandfather. Lehman gets home at 9:30 p.m.
Tuesdays, he has hockey and short track skating at the Franklin Park ice rink.
Thursdays are just hockey. Wednesdays can also have hockey. Saturdays are often for races at the Pettit Center and hockey games. Sundays can include hockey.
Fridays, he rests.

Flood victims learning lessons from past
More: Bio, Facebook, Twitter, News Team
April 22, 2013 (MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill.) (WLS) -- Some people have had to deal with severe flooding multiple times over the years, and there have been lessons learned from those who have lived through it.
Two years ago a wall in the northern suburbs did not even exist, but now it is all that is holding back the raging Des Plaines River from rushing into Mount Prospect.
But you don't even need to live near a river, a pond or a lake to experience flood after flood.
"We can't live here because we don't have any heat or hot water," said Mary Kladis
For Kladis, memories came rushing back last week along with a whole lot of water.
This was the second time her Westchester home flooded in a little more than two years.
The water came up to the ceiling of her basement, they're scrapping everything.
"You can see some of the insulation and water dripping up here still," Kladis said.
In 2010: They called it a "hundred year flood." Then, like now, there were pleas for help.
"I'm ready to go to Washington, and I'm sure all the other mayors are as well, and say 'we need help,'" Westchester Village President Sam Pulia said back in 2010.
Pulia and others made that trip and the feds came through.
Federal money, $376 million, went to a little more than 109,000 residents in Cook and DuPage Counties.
But the maximum amount for damage to a single home is capped at roughly $30,000 - and it's not for those who have their own flood insurance.
"It does not cover couches, TV sets, things like that," Pulia said. "They basically said if you tip your house over whatever doesn't come out is what they cover."
Six days after the rain began, many homes remain underwater. From Fox Lake to communities near Crystal Lake, Chopper 7 found the cleanup can't even begin.
Des Plaines is slowly drying out. The water is gone from Westchester.
But Kladis and her family feel just as they did nearly three years ago: All alone, now awaiting a flood of bills.
"Since we pay the insurance can we get any help or are we being punished for having flood insurance?" she said.
The levee is holding fine, but an overwhelmed sewer system led to widespread flooding in some neighborhoods and the Des Plaines' mayor Matt Bogusz is saying the wall is making flooding worse in his community. There is talk this could wind up in court.
The Mount Prospect mayor Irvana K. Wilks says all she is doing is protecting her residents.

I drink this a lot. In a bar it is most commonly refered to as a Malibu and Pineapple. It's nothing new, but I am sure more people will know about it now and order it!
One of my favorite standby's. Great on a summer day. Occasionally, I add a splash of Amaretto which give it an excellent taste and ups the alcohol content!
My favorite drink. I had it once at a party and I was hooked. I never knew it had a name besides Malibu & Pineapple tho! The cherry, if left in the bottle of the glass, soaks up some of the alcohol and when u eat it, it gives a real kick. Also something to try, add a slice of pear. It sounds weird, but it gives the pear flavor AND that kick of soaked up alcohol.

Kidney Support
Kidney Support is a 100% herbal formula that contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Burdock, Cleavers, and Dandelion.
- Burdock (Arctium lappa) is widely known as a systemic cleanser and blood purifier. It's also well known for its ability to maintain balance in body fluid levels and can help the kidneys maintain their natural action of flushing out toxins. Burdock has also shown positive results in helping to maintain blood sugar levels within the normal range. (Swanston-Flatt SK, Day C, Flatt PR, et al. Glycaemic effects of traditional European plant treatments for diabetes. Studies in normal and streptozotocin diabetic mice. Diabetes Res. 1989; 413:6973. )
- Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D, and C, as well as various B vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and manganese. It helps naturally promote a healthy appetite and may also support the maintenance of blood sugar levels within the normal range due to its positive effects on fluid balance. (Rcz-Kotilla, E., G. Rcz, A. Solomon. 1974. The action of Taraxacum officinale extracts on the body weight and diuresis of laboratory animals. Planta Med 26 (3):212217.)
- Cleavers (Galium aparine) is an herb that has been used in folk medicine for many centuries as a cleansing tonic, lymphatic cleanser and blood purifier. Regular use helps support all mechanisms of the urinary system.
Immunity & Liver Support
Immunity & Liver Support is a 100% herbal formula that contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Ashwagandha, Dandelion, Echinacea, Milk thistle, and Rice powder.
- Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is known to contain bitter principles that have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. (Kuusi T, Pyylaso H, and Autio K. "The bitterness properties of dandelion. II. Chemical investigations." Lebensm-Wiss Technol 1985; 18:347-349.) Dandelion is also a source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D, and C; various B Vitamins; iron; lecithin; silicon; potassium; magnesium; zinc; and manganese. It supports liver and gall bladder functioning and helps maintain fluid balance and healthy blood pressure levels in the body. (Hook I, McGee A, Henman M, and et al. "Evaluation of dandelion for diuretic activity and variation in potassium content." Int J Pharmacog 1993; 31(1):29-34.)
- Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is well known for its excellent benefits for immune system functioning. Used as a natural immune system tonic, Echinacea also helps support the lymphatic system. Regular use can help keep your pet healthy and support a well-functioning immune system. One study investigated Echinacea specifically for its supportive immune action in dogs. (Reichling J, Fitzi J, Furst-Jucker J, et al. "Echinacea powder: treatment for canine chronic and seasonal upper respiratory tract infections." Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd 2003; 145(5):223-231.)
- Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most important Ayurvedic tonic herbs, assisting with growth, health and vigor. Regular use can help nourish the blood and support healthy hemoglobin levels. This herb is often recommended as a systemic and restorative tonic. Animal studies have shown its supportive function for the heart and overall health and specific supportive action on the animal liver and kidneys. (Akbarsha MA, Vijendrakumar S, Kadalmani B, et al. "Curative property of Withania somnifera Dunal root in the context of carbendazim-induced histopathological changes in the liver and kidney of rat." Phytomedicine 2000; 7(6):499-507. )(Dhuley JN. "Adaptogenic and cardioprotective action of ashwagandha in rats and frogs." J Ethnopharmacol 2000; 70 (1):57-63.)
- Milk thistle (Sylibum marianus) is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives, and use of milk thistle may be traced back more than 2000 years. Milk thistle has been subject to many clinical trials that clearly demonstrate its effectiveness. (Feher J, Deak G, Muzes G, et al. "Liver-protective action of silymarin therapy in chronic alcoholic liver diseases." Orv Hetil 1989; 130 (51):2723-2727. ) It is frequently recommended to support the health and functioning of the liver. Scientific analysis of milk thistle shows that it contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is largely responsible for the therapeutic benefits of this herb. Silymarin is a well-known antioxidant. (Comoglio A, Tomasi A, Malandrino S, et al. Scavenging effect of silipide, a new silybin-phospholipid complex, on ethanol-derived free radicals. Biochem Pharmacol 1995; 50(8):1313-1316.) This would have a direct impact on maintaining the overall systemic health of your pet, as the liver is one of the most important organs in the body.
UTI-Free is a 100% homeopathic formula that contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Berber vulg (3X), Cantharis (6C), Staphysagris (6C), Sucrose, and Staphysag (6C).
- Berberis vulg (3X) is a widely used homeopathic remedy and is well known for its positive effect on the bladder and urinary tract. This remedy also helps support healthy immune system functioning. (Li SY, Ling LH, Teh BS, et al. "Anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties of the bis- benzylisoquinolines: in vitro comparisons of tetrandrine and berbamine." Int J Immunopharmacol 1989; 11(4):395-401.)
- Cantharis (6C) is often recommended for its ability to maintain a healthy flow of urine and soothe the bladder.
- Staphysagris (6C) is a proven natural remedy that is also recommended for urogenital health and as a well-known prostate tonic.
- Sucrose (inactive ingredient)
UTI-Free is a homeopathic remedy registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
How To Use
Kidney Support drops, Immunity & Liver Support veggie capsules, and UTI-Free granules can safely be given to your pet on a daily basis. When combined, these remedies can be used as part of a complete approach to supporting your pet's urinary system, liver, and immune system.

Most likely people aren't going to go through every page,there are so many, so the older postings have less chance of being seen.
Our plane is in Colorado, we could go straight to all the Colorado listings and they could still be posted by date.
I think this would give the animals a better chance and it would be much more efficient and organized. I could help you out if you need me.

I just read the Avengers Movie Prequel (not Fury's Big Week, the one that came out today). I guess you could call it a prequel... All it really does is re-introduce all the characters and gives a few pages of previously untold stories for each. Not really great, but it upped my anticipation for the movie by half a percent
I liked Fury's Big Week better because A) it was longer, and B) Tied all the movies thus far together.

DC-X SpaceQuest
To share the adventure and excitement of the development and flights of the Delta Clipper Experimental (DC-X) and to support and sustain the continuing quest it kindled for safe, routine access to, from and through space for all mankind.
To be a World Center of Excellence for the Past, Present, and Future Personal and Technical History of Reusable Space Vehicles
DC-X SpaceQuest Overview
The DC-X SpaceQuest focus is to collect present, past and future reusable space vehicles experiences and make them available to industry and the public in entertaining, inspiring educational and data rich formats.
Participants in this quest include museums, science centers, new and existing space companies and ventures, space agencies and commercial companies as well as individuals and the general public.
We provide participants with positive brand association with the excitement of space through integrated planning, marketing and operations, and comprehensive, reality based technical content with high standards of quality.
Licensed products created to help support and sustain this quest, will be marketed world-wide at museums, science centers, space shows, conferences and through the internet.
Sponsorships and Donations to the managing International Space Hall of Fame Foundation are tax deductible.

Guiding Principles
1. Present the stories of reusable space vehicles development and experimental
flight experiences based on real flight hardware and personal experiences.
2. Provide entertaining and educational science, technology, engineering and math
(STEM) displays that engage and capture the interest and imagination of students
and the general public.
3. Provide a comprehensive technical data and information source to further the
study and development of reusable space vehicles.
4. Make reusable space vehicle displays accurate and, where possible, encompass
the real hardware that flew.
5. Create educational materials and products with positive outreach for partners and
Another tribute to the DC-X
The DC-X Memorial Website site presents a brief look at the DC-X/XA history and a look at an alternate SSTO configuration that was developed by the DC-X engineers as part of their X-33 proposal. It uses the powered vertical landing pioneered by the DC-X to enable a simpler configuration that flies only at a high angle-of-attack. This makes possible a lighter SSTO candidate.

Space Access '13
April 11-13 in Phoenix, is Space Access Society's upcoming annual conference on the technology, business, and politics of radically cheaper space transportation. For twenty years now this event has been an incubator for the "newspace" entrepreneurial end of things. Companies have been started, investments made, ideas spread, and people hired. The three-day conference is intensive and informal, a snapshot of where things are and where they're headed next in this fast-moving new industry. Attendees range from students and amateur rocket enthusiasts through cheap-access political activists and startup rocket companies to government and established aerospace company people.
SA'13 is not only the best Newspace transportation conference around, it's the most affordable. For detailed SA'13 information, see

Ohio Benefits Website Connects Ohioans to Coverage
(For newsletters and other materials that promote consumer self-service options)
On October 1, the State of Ohio launched a new system designed to assist residents who wish to obtain health care coverage through Medicaid. Ohio Benefits is a simplified, self-service Website that makes it easier for Ohioans to learn what type of assistance may be available to them.
Through the new Benefits portal, individuals will receive immediate notice as to whether or not they qualify for Medicaid coverage. Those who do not qualify for Medicaid will be directed to other opportunities for coverage through the federal health insurance exchange.
Over the next two years, Ohio Benefits will become the primary resource for those seeking assistance beyond just Medicaid. In 2015, eligibility determination for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and other programs will be on Ohio Benefits.
If you or someone you know are looking to find out more about Medicaid eligibility and the new system, please visit Benefits.Ohio.gov.

Family Voices aims to achieve family-centered care for all children and youth with special health care needs and/or disabilities. Through this national network, Family Voices provides families tools to make informed decisions, advocates for improved public and private policies, builds partnerships among professionals and families, and serves

Based around a quaint old marketplace, Chelmsford is steeped in history and tradition. Granted permission to market trade by King John in 1199, the county town of Chelmsford still retains many of its old charms and architecture. Chelmsford Cathedral (which until 1914 was a parish church) has been around since the 15th century. Although much of the building has been damaged and restored over the centuries, the original tower still remains in tact and is makes for a fascinating visit. For an insight into the history of the area from the Ice Age onwards, head to the Chelmsford Museum. To sample the town"s more modern facilities, you can wander down the main pedestrianised shopping centre and visit one of the many shops, bars or restaurants.
Rent a car in Chelmsford and you can take a trip into London or investigate in the surrounding Essex countryside. Hyland House in Writtle, just west of Chelmsford, is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, with tearooms, house tours and 500 acres of peaceful gardens to explore. In Battlesbridge and Great Baddow there are two excellent antique centres, ideal for bargain hunters!

May 17, 2012
As the G-8 leaders prepare to meet at Camp David on Friday, the dominant topic of conversation will be the European debt crisis. Yet it is a crisis that has attracted minimal interest or concern among the U.S. public, despite warnings from economists that Europe's problems may threaten this country's fragile recovery.
Last week was typical: In the Pew Research Center's weekly News Interest Index, just 17% said they were following news about economic problems in Europe very closely. Just 3% cited this as their top story of the week. By comparison, 40% tracked U.S. economic news very closely and 20% said they followed it more closely than any other story.
A week earlier, nearly four times as many said the death of football player Junior Seau was their top story than cited Europe's economic problems (11% vs. 3%).

I needed several sprocket gears for a piece I was working on, and these were the perfect size! As usual, I got a great deal here at Scrapbook.com, and I still have several left to use in other projects. They are good quality, as I have come to expect of Tim Holtz, and I would definitely recommend them and buy them again myself!
I can think of many journaling techniques to go with these, especially on lo with kids such as, "the wheels were always turning" ( surround the gears with a thought bubble and use a journaling note for the enclosed phase. Have fun! Kathy
These look great in my album I am making for my brother, who is rebuilding an old VW Bus. They are real metal and the only actual gears I could find for scrapbooking. So cool on the page. I used them with the Grease monkey collection papers.

Welcome to the Peckish Pixie!
Whether they're toddlers or teens, studies show that when families eat together, kids are less likely to smoke or do drugs. They're also less likely to have problems with depression or experience teenage pregnancies. They do better in school and are healthier. They also learn to eat their vegetables. In other words, they learn to be civilized.
Too much of the time, it's just easier for everybody to grab whatever they want to eat, and sit down in front of the TV or the computer. Even if you do manage to eat together, chances are it's fast food. Or you go out to eat. Even if a restaurant has "healthy" items on its menu, chances are those foods are high in sugar, starch, and fat, and prepared meals from the store can be even worse. But now you've got a better choice.
For less than the cost of going out, you can get great tasting, healthy meals for your whole family, so you can eat together without having to shop, cook, or clean up. Home cooked meals that are tailored to you, so they taste spectacular and are more nutritional than anything you can buy at the store. And if you sign up now, you can get all this for 50% off the regular price!
Make the choice and reclaim your family dinnertime. You'll be glad you did. Click here to see our full offer!

My Reasons for Reporting This

With Col. Muammar Gadhafi's rule in Libya seemingly over, President Obama called for him to step down, to avoid further bloodshed as rebel forces continue to fight loyalists in the capital of Tripoli. Republicans are calling for an even bigger military presence in Libya. It's safe to say that Obama has some difficult decisions ahead, in regard to how the U.S. will be involved in Libya's transition to democracy.
Mark Landler, White House correspondent for The New York Times, talks about how politics are impacting the Obama administration's Libya policy.
Does the fact that the President was shaking Gadhafi's hand not long ago make a difference? Consulting European powers with oil interest in Libya first when going to war while ignoring his legal obligation of consulting Congress aka..the American people who get to pay for most it, may not play well either.
If getting OBL does not produce a lasting bump in the polls, what will Gadhafi's fall do?
