Football is a game of inches both literally and figuratively.
A very small amount of literal space on the field, whether it'd be a close first down, a fingertip deflection, a toe-drag on the sideline or a ball bouncing off an upright, can separate a win from a loss.
A very small amount of figurative space also separates teams, with parity reigning supreme in the NFL.
One needs to look no further than week six opponents Detroit and the Philadelphia Eagles for evidence.
"This game, in this league, you look at (the Eagles') record and you look at our record," said Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. "They've won three games by a total of four points. (their losses), really one game was a little bit out of hand but the other one was last second field goal too. We're the exact same but flipped. That's the way it goes. You just try to give yourself a chance to win in the fourth quarter and go out there and make the plays that are necessary to win the game."
For both the Eagles and the Lions if a few plays – or a few inches – changed in the right circumstances they could be looking at very different records.
"Your record is what it is. We're a 1-3 football team and there's nothing else that we can do about that right now other than go play this next game," said Lions head coach Jim Schwartz. "But you have to look at the reasons that you had success and the reasons that you failed. I don't think it's a stretch to say that we're a couple plays away from being 3-1. It doesn't matter – we're still 1-3. There's no consolation or anything else. But when I say we fine tune, there's a difference between fine tune and overhaul. We need to play better in some spots. We need to improve in some areas. No different than if we were 3-1 right now."
Schwartz isn't wrong. There are a few plays from each loss – all of which entirely in the Lions control – that could flip the team's record.
Against the San Francisco 49ers, cornerback Drayton Florence got flagged for running into the kick after a field goal attempt by the 49ers, extending the drive and providing a four-point swing. Later in that game, Lions kicker Jason Hanson missed a 40-yard field goal – his only miss of the season. Later Kyle Vanden Bosch took a needless face mask call negating a four-yard sack after a failed flea flicker play, a drive which the 49ers eventually scored on. The Lions lost the game by eight points.
Against the Tennessee Titans, punter Ben Graham injured himself on a first-quarter punt from his own 10-yard line. The injury seemed to impact the quality of the kick, as Graham rattled off a 40-yard punt with less than four seconds of hang time. A better punt most likely would have resulted in a fair catch; instead, the Titans were afforded the room for a cross-field backwards lateral that resulted in a touchdown. Fast forward to overtime and rookie cornerback Bill Bentley is flagged for a needless holding call on a third and 16 play, giving the Titans a fresh set of downs rather than a sure punting situation. The Titans went on to score the game winning points. On the following drive, center Dominic Raiola failed to hear that the ball wasn't intended to be snapped on a fourth and inches play, resulting in a botched play and a lost game.
Even their most recent loss, against the Minnesota Vikings, included two dropped passes in the end zone and multiple other self-inflicted wounds in a game they lost by only seven points.
But people don't see the inches, they see the record.
"You don't get any extra points for winning by one or winning by two. You get the win," said Schwartz. "And that's the bottom line in this business. There are a lot of things for people to talk about. That's what's good about the NFL but we just need to focus on getting a win regardless of how it is. Whether we run, pass, blitz, don't blitz, however we fashion it. That's the bottom line. We started 1-3. We didn't do a good enough job in the first four games doing that."
Still, the Lions aren't rattled and know that they aren't too far away from turning their record around.
"There are 12 games left in the season," said defensive end Cliff Avril. "So much can change in the next 12 games. As far as us, especially. We feel like we have a great team, we feel like we can go do some things, it's just proving the league and everybody else that thinks negatively of us, it's proving them wrong."
The Eagles aren't preparing to host a 1-3 football team, they are preparing to host a talented group.
"Well, they're explosive. They're an explosive football team and well coached and so that's what we're preparing for," said Eagles' coach Andy Reid. "We've got to prepare our tails off for them because they're very, very good. They've had some close ones there that got away but that happens and we've got to make sure we're ready for a very explosive team. Both sides of the football."
Being "explosive" or "very, very good" doesn't matter at the end of the day. There are no columns in the standings for those. Instead, it's about winning football games and the Lions know that.
On that note, it's not how you start but how you finish.
"It's one thing to go 4-0 and never lose a game till the first round of the playoffs," said defensive end Willie Young. "It's another thing to go lose a game or two here and there and come back and go to the 'ship (championship). I think the biggest thing for us is just taking one game at a time. Let's play ball the way we know we're capable of playing. Everything else is going to take care of itself."

Universities are magical places;
Places of discovery, places of self-discovery and places of transformation.
That is why many of you have heard me say that The University of Akron is a place where you can dream, and dare, and do the things that it takes to change the world.
Ironically, I learned about the magic of universities not at a university, but at a place called Woods Hole.
Named for the narrow passage on the Eastern Seaboard that separates Buzzard's Bay from Vineyard Sound, Woods Hole is situated at the southernmost tip of Cape Cod and serves as the gateway to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Islands.
It is a charming Cape Cod village, lying just south of Falmouth. Hyannis Port, made famous by the Kennedys, is just to the east.
Its obvious interest to visitors belies the importance of Woods Hole as a home for two major scientific institutions.
One of these is WHOI, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, most recently made famous by Bob Ballard and his discoveries of the sunken Titanic and the giant tubeworms that live along the hot vents of the deep ocean trenches.
The other institution is the MBL, or Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole; of lesser public renown, but possibly of greater cumulative scientific importance.
For 122 summers, soon to be 123, noted and aspiring biologists from around the world have gathered at the MBL to further our knowledge of life.
It is now almost 30 years ago that I first went to the MBL, awed just by the names on the buildings, - Loeb and Lillie, for example - which tell much of the history of modern biology.
An aspiring neurobiologist, I went to see where much of the cutting edge research was being done and to meet those responsible for the exciting new dimensions of my chosen field. It was an experience I will never forget.
I returned often, as many do, first to collaborate with others, and eventually to work with my own team in a laboratory of our own.
I did this only for a few summers, before the pull of organizational leadership captured my energies. But it was enough time for Woods Hole to work its magic.
At Woods Hole, I worked on scientific problems that were later the subject of published articles in scientific periodicals, such as the Journal of Physiology (London), the Journal of Neurophysiology, and Vision Research, little of which I remember today.
What I do remember is more personal and, at the same time, more abstract - because it represents the people I met and their ideas.
I won't bore you with the "who's who" list of modern biologists that assemble every summer at the MBL. Suffice it to say that they were decidedly inspiring to this then-young biologist.
I took a lot in, those few summers at the MBL.
Some of it calls me to the seashore, a legacy also of my childhood on the Pacific Ocean, and of a continued passion that is today expressed in sailing.
Some of it calls me to this podium, as a means to share the collective wisdom that I experienced, and in the hope that I, too, might challenge and inspire you.
One thing bears repeating, however, namely the sense of being in the presence of true scientific genius.
It was George Wald whom I remember most clearly - a man with a remarkable presence, yet unassuming . . . self-assured, yet humble . . . ordinary, yet eccentrically and intelligently obvious.
He had already won his 1967 Nobel Prize for his work on the chemistry of photopigments - those molecules that first absorb light in our eyes and thus allow us to see - and on the role of vitamin A in vision.
We saw him on his daily walks, hands clasped behind his back, walking purposely, dressed in jeans and a simple cotton sleeveless shirt. Hardly the image of a Nobel prize winner!
We sat with him over coffee, or chatted at the dock, as we did with many others.
As the years passed, the MBL soon receded into the background of my thoughts, but what those experiences meant to me were recently brought sharply into focus when I again encountered George Wald - his words now echoed in a recent book.
I quote:
"Surely this is a great part of our dignity . . . that we can know, and that through us matter can know itself; that beginning with protons and electrons, out of the womb of time and the vastness of space, we can begin to understand; that organized as in us, the hydrogen, the carbon, the nitrogen, the oxygen, those 16 to 21 elements, the water, the sunlight - all, having become us, can begin to understand what they are, and how they came to be."
(George Wald, quoted in: Philip Ball, Life's Matrix: A Biography of Water, June 2000, p 3)
Listen to his words again, so that you can begin to savor them, just as I have many times.
"Surely this is a great part of our dignity . . . that we can know, and that through us matter can know itself; that beginning with protons and electrons, out of the womb of time and the vastness of space, we can begin to understand; that organized as in us, the hydrogen, the carbon, the nitrogen, the oxygen, those 16 to 21 elements, the water, the sunlight - all, having become us, can begin to understand what they are, and how they came to be."
(George Wald, quoted in: Philip Ball, Life's Matrix: A Biography of Water, June 2000, p 3)
There, in a few short sentences, lies the magic of the MBL; the magic of universities.
It lies in the relentless pursuit of truth, in the progressive discovery of knowledge, in the connectedness of life, in the sense that we can, and we must, advance our common future.
Through your experiences here at The University of Akron, with your professors and your colleagues, with our visitors and with our libraries, I hope that you, too, will have gleaned just a bit of this magic; and having sensed it, that you will now nurture it your life.
At the inaugural event for The University of Akron's "Last Lecture Series," Dr. Proenza discusses the power of beginnings and the illusory nature of endings.
A number of factors can limit or skew an individual's perspective on the world. Dr. Proenza offers examples and advice on how to seek additional perspectives.
While idealism fuels our dreams and ambitions, unrealistic ideals can be counter productive to effective work. Dr. Proenza discusses some of the pitfalls of unrealistic ideals and how to counter them.
Dr. Proenza urges graduates to live their lives with strategic intent and to be guided by their dreams.
Northeast Ohio has improved its talent dividend of citizens who hold college degrees. Dr. Proenza emphasized the importance of an educated populace and discussed methods to further improve the region's results.
In his last State of The University address as president of The University of Akron, Dr. Luis Proenza reviews the progress and returns on investments made over the past 15 years, and outlines necessary steps during this academic year to maintain this momentum .
Drawing upon his own experiences, Dr. Proenza encourages graduates to continue to seek the magic of learning throughout their careers.
Dr. Proenza advises graduates to no longer identify solely with their majors, but to also regard themselves as critical thinkers, communicators and problem solvers. Doing so, he said, will make the job market a more welcoming place.
In a lighthearted nod to J.K. Rowling's novels, Dr. Proenza offers graduates a final lesson of "A Defense Against the Dark Arts of Derision, Disrespect and Insult!"
If inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil is correct in his predictions for the near future, "a lifetime of learning" has new meaning for today's graduates.

The idea behind Risk is exactly the meaning of the word RISK – a situation involving exposure to danger. The branding is rude, naughty, urban and trendy but yet classy.
Our designs, models, image and identity incorporates a legacy of multi-cultural background and they can be easily identified by the asterisk symbol replacing certain letter when using words such as: F*CK, SH*T, B*TCH and C*NT. This is a RISK. Risk clothing started just like any other stupid small business. In a little shitty flat in castlefield Manchester and to be precise In a fuckin living room, where hundreds of t shirts where being printed for promo work and fashion wear.

Product was chic Color not as vivid as I expected, but still a great buy. April 19, 2014
This cowl neck tank flatters the midriff, is comfortable and length perfect! This tank looks great alone or under Dress Barn jackets! I enjoy the longer length and comfort.

Comfortable I love to wear it because it is so comfortable. I was disappointed because 2 of the colors I wanted were sold out in my size. April 15, 2014
A little disappointed Although I really like this cowl neck tank, the material is a little thinner than expected. I ordered it in ivory, so don't know about the weight of the fabric for the other colors. However, it will be perfect for layering under a cardigan or jacket. Very comfortable and the fit under the arms is great, no gaping. April 15, 2014

Charlottesville Police were continuing the search for clues in the case of missing person Dashad "Sage" Smith at a Henrico County landfill on Tuesday.

Download a PDF of this fact sheet here
When a couple is unable to get pregnant on their own, sometimes they use a donor's egg or sperm. This is called "gamete donation". When a child is conceived this way, parents must decide whether to tell their child or keep this information private. This may be a difficult choice to make and sometimes parents do not know where to begin. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine encourages parents to tell their children about the gamete donation. Many countries have laws that allow children to know who their gamete donor is. However, it is ultimately a parent's choice.
You and your partner should discuss your personal values, culture, religious beliefs, and those of your community. Using a professional, such as a fertility counselor, in these conversations may be helpful. As your child grows up and your situation changes, you may change your mind about early decisions you made. Be prepared to have periodic discussions over time.
An important question you must weigh is your right to keep information you believe is private from your child against the child's right to know the circumstances of his/her conception and genetic origins.
You should consider the possibility that your child might find out from someone other than you. If family members or friends know about how your child was conceived, it might be hard to keep this secret. And you should consider any circumstance in which the 'secret' could be used negatively by anyone. Also, there is a very small chance you could lose your privacy if laws change.
You may have difficult emotions about infertility and the fact that you had to rely on a donor to build your family. It's important to resolve these feelings-and your thoughts about a child conceived with the help of a donor-before pregnancy and parenthood.
If you tell your child, you can make it a positive message. In addition to giving your child the basic information, you can explain the positive reasons why you chose to have a child through gamete donation. You also can explain the donor's good intentions of helping people start a family.
Many couples would like to tell, but do not know how and when to go about it. You should tell your child at a young age. Later disclosure, when the child is a teenager or adult may make it more difficult for your child to integrate this information into his or her identity.
Plan on having not one conversation but many ongoing conversations with your child. You'll need to add new information as your child gets older and is able to understand. Giving information in a calm, loving manner will set the tone for open family communication later. If you don't know how to begin a conversation about disclosure, there are books that provide scripts to give you some ideas. A good place to start is ASRM's Mental Health Professional Group book list (www.asrm.org) or consumer support organizations, such as RESOLVE (www.resolve.org) and the American Fertility Association (www.theafa.org).
Reasons that you should consider regarding whether to tell or not tell your child that they were born through the help of gamete donation include:

Chequamegon Community Rallies to Save Swimming Pool
Submitted: 10/09/2012
Park Falls
- Cold temperatures outside means people are taking exercise inside.
But Park Falls is struggling to re-open their pool for the winter season.
Funding for the Chequamegon High School pool is gone because an operations referendum failed in April.
But the community is rallying to save it.
"I'm an adapted PE teacher, and I love to take adapted students in here. It's free movement for a lot of people, especially if they have limitations," said Jane Gustafson, a member of the "Save the Chequamegon Pool" committee. "It's a strong community and student resource," said Dave Anderson, Chequamegon superintendent. "One of the things we'll be trying to promote is a lifelong fitness practices with our students."
That's tough to do when you have to shut down the pool.
"A lot of people were so concerned and wanted to do something to help, but nobody knew where to begin," Gustafson said.
She got together with about ten others to raise enough money to keep the pool open.
It costs about $1800 a month to keep it running. The committee has raised $6,000 so far, so they'll need more to keep it open through April, when it normally closes for the summer.
"We're in it for the long haul, and we're going to continue to fundraise and do what we need to do to keep it afloat, this year and the coming years," Gustafson said.
"My hope is that they succeed. My hope is that they raise the funds and that we're able to keep the pool open for the benefit of our kids and our community," Anderson said.
With the money the committee has raised so far, the pool will stay open until January, but they're hoping more people will donate and attend their monthly fundraisers.
More information is available on their Facebook page.

In the latest installment of Where's Waldo?, Microsoft MSFT -0.97% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq $40.01 -0.39 -0.97% April 17, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 36.40M AFTER HOURS $40.03 +0.02 +0.05% April 17, 2014 7:40 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 290,861 P/E Ratio 14.66 Market Cap $332.11 Billion Dividend Yield 2.80% Rev. per Employee $841,040 04/20/14 Apple, Google Vie for Exclusiv... 04/18/14 HEARD ON THE STREET: For Apple... 04/17/14 Microsoft Has Sold More Than 5... More quote details and news » CEO Steve Ballmer opted not to participate in the company's fourth-quarter conference call with Wall Street's bean counters Thursday.
No surprise, as Ballmer never plays a role in these shindigs. A little cheeky, however, given that, just a week earlier, Ballmer had announced a major reorganization that shifts the responsibility accorded to top executives and that aims to make Microsoft (ticker: MSFT) a "devices and services company," whatever that is.
Surely, these earnings calls, in which stock analysts drone on with piddly questions about minutiae, are a tedious drag. Humoring them is one of the unfortunate obligations of being a $266 billion company. But given the momentous nature of the re-org, one wonders, would it have killed Ballmer to join the proceedings just this once?
In the breach, the new chief financial officer, Amy Hood, did a credible job, even if some of the answers she provided were the equivalent of "You want fries with that?" -- perfunctory and less than edifying.
All this came as Microsoft missed revenue and profit estimates by a sizable margin, in what Citigroup analyst Walter Pritchard termed its "sloppiest quarter in memory."
Revenue in the Windows division, which sells operating systems for personal computers, fell 6%, year over year, when one excludes amounts booked in prior quarters but not recorded on the income statement until last quarter.
Microsoft also took a $900 million write-down for cutting the price of its Surface tablet to $349 from $499. Surface has struggled to gain a foothold in a market dominated by Apple's AAPL +1.14% Apple Inc.

Even Microsoft's Business Division, a relatively healthy part of the company's story, quarter after quarter, saw its sales crimped by consumers who put off purchases of new personal computers and thus of Microsoft Office, too.
Hood warned that results will continue to be pressured by slumping consumer PC sales this quarter, further postponing the rebound in that market that Microsoft and Intel INTC +0.41% Intel Corp.

More quote details and news » (INTC) repeatedly have predicted is just around the corner.
I said last week that investors were generally giving Microsoft a pass on the rotten PC market, but I was clearly wrong about that. Friday they brought their disappointment front and center, driving the stock down more than 11.4%, to $31.40. One reason for the selloff: With the shares up 33% for the year going into Thursday's call, the bulls took some profits. If that's the case, then I expect some people to shrug off this latest disappointment and quickly return to the stock.
It's also possible that the messy quarter is prompting investors to ask where the reorganization is taking the company. Hood said that the full story of how it will affect the company will come in late September, when Microsoft holds its annual meeting with analysts.
In the meantime, here's something to chew on. The new direction could imply a serious threat to earnings at an organization that long has enjoyed gross profit near 80% of sales, and operating profit of 30% or better. Remember, the motto of this reorganization is "devices and services." If Microsoft wishes to dig deeper into the hardware business, in which the Xbox has been a hit, but Surface has been a flop, that will increase its cost of goods sold. And if it wishes to build more data centers to support its "Azure" cloud-computing service, that also will boost its product costs, capital-investment needs, and depreciation.
Indeed, cost of goods, Hood said last week, is expected to rise 20% this quarter.
IN CUTTING HIS RATING on the shares Friday, to the equivalent of Hold from Buy, Cowen's Gregg Moskowitz warned that "gross margins are likely to come under increasing pressure going forward, as Microsoft focuses on building out its data centers to provide services such as Azure and Office 365," the online version of its Office productivity suite.
The operating profit for the Windows division, estimates Moskowitz, was 45% last quarter. That's worrisome because it's generally higher than the company average, at 50% to 60%. The analyst thinks the overall corporate operating margin will decline to 33.6% this fiscal year from the adjusted 36% in the year just ended.
Again, we don't know for certain if such concern is warranted, and we won't know until we hear from Waldo, sometime in September.
We can't know, in other words, if the fundamentals are about to get better or worse for Microsoft, so we'll have to wait and see if sentiment, suddenly so terribly dark, will again brighten for the software giant.
IN CONTRAST TO MICROSOFT'S terrible week, SanDisk, SNDK +9.41% SanDisk Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq $82.99 +7.14 +9.41% April 17, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12.26M AFTER HOURS $83.00 +0.01 +0.01% April 17, 2014 6:42 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 62,843 P/E Ratio 16.70 Market Cap $18.71 Billion Dividend Yield 1.08% Rev. per Employee $1,161,610 04/16/14 SanDisk's Profit Jumps On High... 04/15/14 HEARD ON THE STREET: Cloud Inv... 03/13/14 Toshiba Sues SK Hynix Over Chi...

Thursday, the company reported its fifth quarter in a row of beating revenue expectations and projected that the year's results would be higher as well.
The stock (SNDK) ended the week up almost 3%, at $62.71. On the year, it's up 44% and, over 12 months, nearly 79%. The company is benefiting from selling components for the exploding mobile-device market and for mission-critical enterprise gear.
Four months ago, I wrote that SanDisk seemed to be the memory stock most likely to have outperformance past June, based on its historical trading patterns ("Memory Stocks Are Booming, but Don't Expect It to Last," March 18). Further gains seem likely, given that the bear case for SanDisk's business is, at the moment, wishful thinking.

The bears are waiting for the manufacturing pendulum to swing back, and for new investments to boost supply and clobber prices.
So far, there seems little evidence of that. In fact, some contend that a structural shift is under way in the memory-chip business, with the most advanced parts being so expensive to manufacture that supply will be constrained for some time to come.
That's not certain, but until there's some sign of the bump-up in supply that the bears hypothesize, the stock is likely to continue to work.

Background Screening Introduction
USSA is a youth sports organization with over 75% of its athlete members 17 or under. In keeping with the standards of many youth sports organizations, schools and recreational programs in America today, USSA has implemented a strict policy on abuse, molestation and sexual harassment. To support this policy, USSA has implemented a background screening process to help ensure that the environment in its athletic programs at every level is as safe as possible.
This process includes all USSA employees, member coaches, officials and volunteer members. It is a big undertaking for USSA as an organization. However, it will help to keep USSA to a high standard among youth sports organizations in America. The process is simple and can be managed online. There is no cost to you as a USSA member.
USSA has selected the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI) to conduct its screening. NCSI is one of the leaders in providing screening to youth-serving organizations. It works in partnership with the National Council of Youth Sports, which serves organizations representing over 52-million boys and girls.
The process will screen for past convictions for sexually related and violent crime, as well as DUI. USSA has worked with NCSI to establish very specific criteria. Click here for details on the screening criteria.
USSA has prepared a Frequently Asked Questions document to answer key questions on this important program. Simply click here for more details.
The process for screening is simple and generally takes about five minutes. However, you must have a current USSA coach or official membership to register.
Once your screening is complete and the USSA receives a 'green light' from NCSI, your membership will be finalized and a USSA membership card will be activated.
USSA appreciates the cooperation and understanding of its members to help implement this program to ensure that the environment in USSA athletic programs is as safe as possible for young boys and girls.

Nicorette Ads Offer Sympathy to Quitters
A new ad campaign for Nicorette gum features the tagline, "Quitting Sucks. Nicorette Makes It Suck Less," Forbes reported Dec. 7.
The ads from pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline will appear on prime-time network TV as well as magazines like ESPN, Time and People. The latter will be formatted like letters to current smokers, beginning, "Dear Smokers, 2010 is going to suck" and intended to capitalize on New Year's resolutions to quit.
Nicorette will face some new competition next year, once tobacco company Reynolds American completes its acquisition of Niconovum, a Swedish firm that makes Zonnic brand nicotine pouches and gum. The $30-million ad campaign is designed to boost awareness of the Nicorette brand.

Lotteries with people signing up for new homes became common; developers were having difficulty keeping up with the demand and, of course prices rose accordingly.
As the prices rose, so did the sales tax each new home generated, and our state government was soon awash in money. At first, a reserve fund for "rainy days" was set up to put aside some of the excess, but giving excess money to politicians is the equivalent of giving excess whisky to a severe alcoholic. The budgets of all agencies jumped up, and what were once "wish list" items became "required" spending.
So, the dilemma is: If he wanted to meet the inflated demands, the governor was forced to either renege on his "no taxes" promise — or reduce spending. Honoring his word, Gibbons introduced his new budget which was immediately attacked in the press for supposedly "cutting" by 10 percent the budgets of almost every state agency. Schools got a break, with "cuts" limited to about 4.5 percent
But how exactly do you define a "cut" in a government budget? Truth is, government spending in Gibbons' budget has, contrary to the media's attack, gone up, not down. There are no reductions, no "cuts." Spending has increased.
What? Let me explain. A government agency that requests, say, a 20-percent increase in its new budget compared to the previous year's budget, and the governor instead approves only a 15-percent increase, howls to the world that its budget has been "cut" by 5 percent. Yes, the evil governor, skinflint that he is, is starving them into oblivion.
For the rest of us looking at the math, the actual end results are, in fact, an INCREASE of 15 percent.
In simple terms, say the budget was $100. Next year, you request $120. Instead you get $115. Is that a cut or increase? It depends on where you are employed. In the private sector, you just picked up an extra $15. In the government world, you just got a cut of $5.
In hindsight, the budgets of almost all state agencies expanded dramatically and, in truth, disproportionately during the boom times just a few years back.
Bubble economies eventually deflate, and the reality for all of us as well as the government is we have to adjust accordingly. To maintain government spending at artificially high "peak" levels would require the economy itself to do the same, which is not reality.
The governor is correct in holding down taxes, especially in these troubled times. To tax the people when an estimated 1 in 30 face losing their homes to foreclosure is madness. If anything, he deserves strong praise for his ability in times like these to maintain the spending levels he has. Contrary to the whiners, government agencies have received substantial INCREASES in the money they get to spend this fiscal year – which certainly cannot be said for a lot of Nevada's taxpayers. A little belt-tightening by the public sector – rather than tax increases – is exactly what times like these require.

By JOHN CHRISTIE
All good things must come to an end ... even a fabulous ski season.
Although we can expect to ski a lot longer in the western mountains thanks to copious, and recent, snowstorms, some skiers and boarders are thinking about hanging 'em up and transitioning to summertime pursuits. And before too long, all of us will have to.
Painful as it is to leave the slopes, the inevitable will soon be on us.
Now's the time, I'd remind you, to take all the necessary steps to assure that your gear will summer as well as you do, and that it will be ready when the lifts crank up again late next fall.
It's not only the best way to assure a smooth start to the season, it can also provide you the peace of mind to both know that everything's ready to go, and that you won't get caught up in a mad dash to make sure it is when snow again falls.
For those of us who hang around on the hills until spring skiing's last gasp, and maybe venture to New Hampshire's Tuckerman in May or even June to continue long-standing traditions, our skis will have been subjected to some considerable abuse: dirt, rocks and other impediments revealed by the melting snow cover.
As Lionel Hering, ski tuner extraordinaire and owner of Happy Tunes!! up in the Carrabassett Valley recently stated to me in the strongest terms, "Putting your gear away for the summer in such a state of disrepair is NO GOOD!"
Why not? First, the edges will rust if your skis are stowed away less than completely dry, or if you store them in a moist environment.
Additionally, the bases will dry out if left exposed to air, resulting in a drastic drop in performance. And even though many binding manufacturers will tell you there's no need to release the tension on your bindings, prudence -- and Lionel -- recommend that you do so, and recalibrate them at the beginning of next season.
Lionel's strongly held convictions, honed by more than 25 years of hands-on experience, inspire him to make the following recommendations in respect to assuring that your skis will be in tip-top shape when you mount up for the first day next season.
At the very least, dry your edges thoroughly with an absorbent rag or paper towel. Even consider wiping on a little motor oil to further assure they won't rust over the long summer.
You should also consider, he says, cleaning and waxing your bases before storing. You can buy base cleaners manufactured by wax companies that are gentle enough to avoid damage and will do the job. Then, says Lionel, "Follow up the cleaning by ironing on a thick coat of soft wax to prevent the base from drying out. Don't be afraid to let the wax coat the edges as well, as long as they're completely dry."
A word to the wise: Don't use an iron that you also plan to use on your clothes, as the wax residue will persist and is difficult to remove.
Finally, for complete peace of mind, either completely tune or, as is the case with many of us, leave that in the hands of the professionals that abound at specialty shops all over Maine.
That should include base repair of any scratches, nicks and gouges, and a thorough stone-grind of the edges.
A storage route that's growing in popularity is one instituted at Happy Tunes!! that includes not only a complete tuning package but storage as well for only $70 -- worth thinking about. And I suspect other shops are providing this service as well.

Youth Little D™ Fleece Bunting — Infant 4.3 5 35 35
Great Snow Suit I ordered the fleece bunting for my 6 month old son. When I ordered it I ordered it a little big so I could still have room for a sweatshirt and sweats if needed. I love that the hands and feet have flaps to turn inside out to make a "glove or boot" without having to get gloves and boots for an age that grows out of everything so fast. I love this suit, it kept him warm when we went out and cut down our Christmas tree this past weekend. Also loved that the hood stayed on his head but yet wasn't too big that it covered his eyes. Great quality product. December 5, 2011
Excellent purchase I purchased this for my Grandson, this is a warm, not bulky zip up suit for infants. With safety standards in car seats being quite stringent, this garment is just right. No worries about being too bulky and having a seat belt slip. The quality is all about Columbia!Thank you. December 1, 2013
love this - perfect for seattle winters Runs a little big - the 12 month size works for my 14 month old November 29, 2013
perfect! I did alot of research prior to making this purchase. I was doubtful due to other reviews stating that the zipper broke - but so far I have not had any issues with it. I got the 12 month size for my average sized 8 month old and it fits but also has plenty of room for growth. I love the fold over hands and feet. I would not plan on spending the entire day outside in freezing temperatures in this but for brief periods outside and going to and from the car it is perfect. And it isn't too bulky for the car seat at all. December 16, 2012
Exactly what we were looking for I purchased a puffy pram to keep our almost 6 month old warm for our cold New England winter, but I was uncomfortable with the fact that I couldn't tighten his carseat tight enough when he wore it. I was looking for something thin, yet very warm. This is perfect. It's thin enough to allow him to fit safely into his carseat, yet it keeps him nice and warm. His cheeks are always nice and pink when he wears this. I love that the hood has elastic around the face so cold air doesn't get inside and that the feet and hands can be covered. We also get a lot of comments about the spikes on the hood. Very cute and exactly what we needed. December 12, 2012
Afterglow is not for boys It is pink! I have no problem with my son wearing pink but this was too girly. December 12, 2012
You should buy this bunting... ...it's cute, warm and easy to use. I just bought my son a second one. It is so great to be able to wrap your baby up in one piece and not worry about gloves and a hat (depending on the temp). I definitely recommend this for folks who live in colder climates. November 26, 2012
All-in-one solution to winter gear This is a very good weight of material for a bunting -- babies always have warm clothes underneath, and are covered up with blankies, so a poofy insulated snowsuit just adds bulk without improving functionality. I also like the dinosaur scales on top, and the foot/hand pockets mean I don't need to buy additional boots or gloves (that never fit an infant anyway!). Thanks for simplifying the process of getting Baby dressed for winter fun! November 7, 2012
Perfect for our little Dinosaur! So happy with our purchase. I actually bought 12 month size for this winter/spring season and the 24 month for next year. So happy I did! Our little one is 9 months old and the 12 month is perfect. Not too big, but still a little room for growth before we see the end of cold weather. It's perfect for car seats as it is not too bulky, but still keeps him warm. The hat is too cute!! April 6, 2012
cute and cozy! I bought this bunting for my 10 month old because he had officially grown out of his 6-9mo bunting he had been wearing. This fleece bunting is great. I like how you can fold over the feet and hands easily to protect the extremities from the cold, and the suit is not too bulky and doesnt seem to overheat my baby. The hood is adorable AND it covers the head very well, and my little guy seems to be very comfortable and toasty in it. I got a size 12mo so he could have room to grow, and yes it is just a tad big, but considering that hes not running around with snowboots on and tripping over himself, I'm not concerned. I would definitely recommend this. We live in Alaska so as you can imagine, we have to be very practical about winter gear and this was a great investment! January 29, 2012
Do NOT buy this product This was the perfect fleece for my son and our cold winters. It fit great with the carseat and was perfect thickness except for one thing. It broke after one month!!! The zipper busted off the track and parts of the track cracked off entirely. I had read reviews on this saying it had issues with the zipper, but I thought, it's Columbia. It's a good brand. WRONG!!!!! Do not waste your money! January 9, 2012
Cute! I bought this for my 5 month old son who's a little on the bigger side. He's wearing 9-12 month clothes so I bought a size 18. The 18 is a little big but I think that its probably true to size. It seem warm enought for Michigan winters, and I really like the hand and foot covers on the suit (really makes for easier on and off not dealing with mittens and boots). OVerall I would recommend this suit!! January 5, 2012
Tiny Monster This suit is perfect for keeping my tiny monster warm during the New England winter. He is 9 months old and we purchased the 12 month outfit. It is big but he will grow into it during the next couple of months. He is just now switching to a convertible car seat so this bunting will keep him toasty when we carry him from the house to the car.A note on the color: I would describe it as Granny Smith Apple Green with Navy details. The pictures on the site vary in color so it is hard to know what you are getting until it arrives. We were very pleased with the color. December 30, 2011
Bunting Baby Granddaughter wears this one every day in winter. December 23, 2011
Perfect Suit I bought this suit for my 8 month old. I hated buckling her in the car seat with big, bulky clothes on, and this suit was the perfect solution. It's warm without making her sweat. The material is warm without being thick. I love that her hands and feet can be out and free or in the built in mittens/booties. Perfect for our Minnesota weather! Plus the hood is just so cute! We've gotten compliments every time she's in it...bonus we haven't seen anyone else with the same one :) December 21, 2011
Better than LL Bean fleece bunting I ordered a fleece bunting from LL Bean but was disappointed the arm & leg cuffs did not have the fold-over option. I wanted that for when we take long drives to visit relatives - figured my child could stay warm in the car seat without having to keep mittens on.Love this suit - warm, practical, size is good. And the dinosaur spikes are awesome! December 8, 2011
Love it! Very cute! Love the dino hat and everyone complements it where ever we go! Nice medium weight, great for his car seat! Not for very cold weather unless you layer under it very well. It's perfect for that Cincinnati weather that changes constantly so I don't have to have a million suits to put him in. It's not too hot and not too cold. Wish I would have thought about it for my 1st baby as she is now too big for any of the sizes! Love it! December 6, 2011
Poor quality zipper My son loved his suit, and we got so many compliments on it. The problem with the suit and why I only gave it 1 star is the zipper broke after only 6 wears! December 5, 2011
Wonderful, Wonderful! I bought this adorable suit for my 11 month old son. LOVE IT! Would buy this again in a heartbeat!!!! December 5, 2011
Just what momma ordered . . . .. . Could not wait to put my 9 month in this bunting. Until I started looking into what I wanted for my little one, I did not realize that these were called buntings. I purchased the 18 month size and it really isn't that big on him. He gets a lot of looks when he has it on, it is easy to get him in and keeps him warm. It will work even if he starts walking soon. Since purchasing this item, I am looking to purchase a coat and boots for me since I like the Columbia quality and function! Thanks. Definately would recommend this item. December 3, 2011
Little D Fleece Bunting I LOVE this bunting. It is so cute, which is primarily why I bought it. My little guy is only 2 months old and I bought it thinking that it would take us to the end of the cold season when he would be 6 months. It's really big on him so I'm thinking in the next couple months when it gets colder, he will be wearing it. I like the fleece; it's as thick as I expected it to be. Since it will be a couple months til he is wearing, I won't know about the zipper. But so far, everything is great that I see. November 4, 2011
Perfect My 9.5 month old is a large 25 lbs and 30 inches long. This fits him just how I wanted it to fit (not small and not overly large) with a bit of room to grow this winter. I was looking everywhere for something easy since he isn't yet walking. I was dreading the thought of having to deal with a coat, boots, hat, gloves... he'd never keep all that stuff on anyhow! I also love that I can have his feet and hands covered or uncover them. If he starts to walk I plan on using this in conjunction with a pair of boots. It isn't overly thick for spending a ton of time outside... but I think it'll be just fine to do so if layered. Love this bunting! So many compliments so far, also! November 1, 2011
Fantastic and fun I bought the blue one for my fifteen month old son, and I love it! I get so many compliments, and am asked daily where I got it! I love that the sleeves and feet roll over his hands and feet, it's perfect for taking my daughter to school in the morning. I just roll the sleeves over his hands and feet, instead of struggling with gloves and shoes, its a very nice feature. Overall, I love it and would definatly reccomend it to other moms. October 25, 2011
Little Monster Suit! My son was born in June of 2010 and for his first winter, we got him a secondhand Columbia fleece bunting with bear ears. He absolutely loves his bear suit and I knew he'd have to have the dinosaur version this year. We've nick-named it the Little Monster suit, following his Little Bear suit. We get a lot of positive comments and he stays nice and warm- great for South Dakota weather. July 14, 2011
Twins to Convertible Car Seats The reason I bought these was so that my twins could wear something between the car and house since they were upgrading to a convertible car seat. So far I love them, they keep my babies nice and warm, and I get so many cute comments from other moms at my daycare. Right now my twins wear 12 month clothing so I bought a 18 month and it is BIG on them, but room to grow. Also the material is thin enough it doesn't interfere with the car seat straps. Hope this helps others out. January 26, 2011
Loved bunting... until the zipper broke Bought this for my lil man January 25, 2011
adorable Nice for taking little guy in and out even though he is now walking. Warm and nice that it still has the little feet on it. January 16, 2011
love it so far! this is just what I need for my 15 month old to get from car to store and wherever else we go throughout the winter. It is adorable, and I get many people asking where I bought it. I hope the zipper doesn't break like it has for some others. December 17, 2010
Love the look and fit but hate the zipper I love love love this fleece bunter, but my zipper broke on it the first time I put it on.. I cannot find another style I like and also do not have 4 weeks to return and wait for a new one, so I just added some buttons .. It does what I need it too but am disappointed in the zipper not being strong.. otherwise it would be perfect December 17, 2010
Loved it but broke I bought this 2 monthes ago for my than 9 month old to last all Wisconsin Winter. I love it but the zipper just broke. Now i have to find another fleece bunt for my son. Hopefully the next one will last. I have alot of Colmbia coats and have been very satisfied with there products. This is the second item that the zipper had broken. Not sure if I will buy Columbia again. December 6, 2010
A little thin Super cute bunting. However, it is a little thin. It only has about as much weight as a fleece pullover. I expected that it would be thicker and heavier with a fleece feel. But it was a perfect fit with just enough room to grow and is the most adorable jacket. November 28, 2010
I love it!!! Very conviniece when you need to drop your baby in the childcare. October 30, 2010
Great find/buy! I LOVE this! I looked all over for a warm one-piece outfit for my 7 month old son, but because he's taller than average, I couldn't find anything in his size (12 mo.) that was one piece! Then I found this and thought it was perfect! He's still too young to play outside this year, so just going from car to house or wherever, it will be perfect! So happy to have this! :) October 14, 2010
everyone thinks its super cute!!! I love it, everyone who sees it loves it. But it is a little to small for my two year old, his little ankles are exposed and the feet would never be able to fold over to keep him warm. I wish it came in a larger size. But other wise.. really really cute. It is really thin, okay for weather in the 40s and high 30's maybe.. but her in Alaska its really only good for a trip from the house to a warm car. October 13, 2010
Too cute I love this fleece for my 14 mo old son. Got the 18 month size for room to grow and it is perfect. The azul blue is a beautiful color, and is true to the pic. Also love that the cuffs will fold over, especially for the feet so my son can walk in it. Be prepared for your little one to get alot of attention in the grocery store in this one!! October 4, 2010

We boast outstanding facilities including industry-standard science laboratories and dedicated emergency training areas, as well as state‑of‑the‑art equipment.
ECU's anatomy licence enhances practical learning
In November 2012, ECU was granted an anatomy licence that allows staff and students to use human bodies in the teaching of health courses, significantly enhancing practical learning experiences for students.
The licence was granted by the WA Minister for Health, Dr Kim Hames, making ECU's School of Medical Science an authorised school of anatomy in Western Australia.
Paramedical Science on-campus emergency training resources
The School of Medical Sciences, in conjunction with ECU Health Simulation Centre, has developed simulation-based resources to enhance clinical learning practices for undergraduate Paramedical students. Students have access to state‑of‑the‑art equipment including ambulances based on campus, offering an authentic emergency services training environment.
Medical Science students learn in state‑of‑the‑art facilities
ECU's science laboratories are equipped to train students in the areas of microbiology, genetics, histology and biochemistry.
Students have access to microbiology equipment for the isolation, purification and identification of microbiological organisms, and for the extraction, purification and amplification of DNA.

ECU's Partnerships Ensure the Road is Open for Medical Science Students
At ECU, we engage with commercial and research interests in the fertility industry. Both Concept Fertility Centre and Fertility North are set to provide Medical Sciences students with a range of educational opportunities including the chance to participate in research projects, receive lectures from scientific directors and, most recently, undertake workplace internships as part of their third‑year course.
ECU Welcomes a New Science Course
Commencing in Semester 1 2013, ECU's new Bachelor of Medical Science degree is a three-year course that can be studied full‑time or part-time, providing pathways to medicine and other health professions, medical research and diagnostics, and the health industry.
Medical Science at ECU is a laboratory-based course where students have access to world-class laboratories equipped with the latest and most advanced technology available.
Bravery Award for ECU Paramedical Science Student
In June 2010, our Paramedical Science student Donelle Carver was called to an incident involving a man who had fallen down a concrete pump shaft at a construction site, resulting in life-threatening injuries.
Without hesitation, Donelle applied the skills and emergency training she learned throughout her Paramedical Science qualification, venturing ten metres down the shaft via a local contractor's dogman cage to secure and help free the patient by pulling him into the cage. Donelle then provided additional medical assistance to the patient on the flight to Royal Perth Hospital.
Local trauma surgeon Dr Sudhaka Rao noted that Donelle's actions, in all likelihood, saved the patient's life. Furthermore, St John Ambulance awarded her with the St John Ambulance Award for Bravery.

Hollywood doesn't have the best track record when it comes to everlasting love, but there's always hope that our favorite celebrity unions will make it over the long haul. Supermodel Paulina Porizkova stopped by the studio to share what makes her marriage to The Cars' lead singer Ric Ocasek so strong.
"I was 19 when I met him," she says. "I've spend most of my life being married… it will be 29 years next week!"
WATCH: Newlyweds' Lessons From the First Year
So what are her secrets to longevity? Number one is pretty obvious, "find the right person to do it with," something Ali almost got wrong. "I'll tell you something personal," Ali confessed. "I was once going to get married before I married my husband, and Paulina talked me out of it because she knew he wasn't the right person."
Couples also have to be willing to put in the effort. "Having your husband or wife be your priority is work," she says, and most celebrity unions are so short because "famous people are narcissists. It's all about you, you, you."
So what celebrity couples got it right? "Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward," she says. "Bravo, I'm trying to follow in your footsteps!"
What does she think about power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Paulina's not so sure. "I love them and want them to succeed, but I have to say I won't be surprised if they don't."
To hear what Paulina thinks about other celeb couples and find out the surprising person she would sleep with if she had a "free pass," watch this episode of Daily Shot.
