Report: Barca step up chase for Vermaelen
According to the Daily Mail, Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has made Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen his top target this summer.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The Catalan side's attempt to buy AC Milan's Thiago Silva has been well-documented by sports media outlets since the turn of the year. However, the Brazilian recently signed a contract extension with the Rossoneri, putting an end to a potential move to Spain.
Nonetheless, Vilanova remains eager to sign a central defender, with captain Carles Puyol growing increasingly injury prone with age. The newly appointed manager is believed to have singled out Vermaelen as the next best choice after Silva, and has communicated his desire to Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizaretta.
The board of directors at the Catalan side also consider Vermaelen to be the most accessible central defensive target, as Vilanova's other option, Athletic Bilbao's Javi Martinez, has been priced at 32 million Euros by his club.
Other players formerly considered by Barcelona include Chelsea's David Luiz and Bayern Munich's Holger Badstuber, but the Catalans have chosen Vermaelen as the player they will aggressively pursue.

Creamy Goat Cheese Grits
Author Notes: Amanda and I often find ourselves talking about dishes that would make a great "dinner for one." Although neither of us lives alone anymore, there are still those inevitable evenings spent home alone, when the challenge of cooking for one stares you right in the face.
It's rare that I get too fired up about concocting something elaborate just for me. More often, I see it as a nice excuse to whip up something easy and comforting -- like these goat cheese grits I first threw together one night years ago when I was actually living alone. I still make them whenever I'm in need of a soul-satisfying one dish dinner. They're creamy and soft (I add a bit of milk to the cooking liquid), with just the right amount of tang from the goat cheese and a nice hit of heat from coarsely ground black pepper. - Merrill Stubbs
Serves dinner for one, or -- if you must share -- enough for two as a side dish
- 1/2 cup grits (not instant)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 cup milk, plus a few more tablespoons if necessary
- 1/4 cup fresh goat cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- coarsely ground black pepper
- Combine the grits, salt, milk and 2 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently. When it reaches a boil, turn the heat all the way down and cover the saucepan. Simmer the grits, whisking occasionally, until they are creamy and tender to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Whisk in the goat cheese and the parmesan, adding a bit more milk if the mixture seems too thick. Taste the grits and add more salt if necessary. Whisk in a few generous grinds of black pepper, spoon into a large bowl and eat right now!

This was revelatory! I may never make grits with butter again. It also made such great use of the ingredients I had on hand. Love when that actually works.

This dish is luscious and soul-satisfying. I'm feeling under the weather and my daughter is making it for me right now. It's become a staple in our house.

I made this... with the addition of spinach into the pot at the last minute to wilt it... it was wonderful. I then made it for dinner and sauteed garlic/broccoli/corn with white wine and served it on top. It was a big hit.

It's easy to find a great dinner on Court Street, especially when you're stopping in a Buttermilk Channel. And their famous fried chicken is one of the Dine In Brooklyn offerings.
I had a wonderful meal here recently ... it's crowded on weekends, but that is testament to how good the food is! Wonderful service as well. I will be back and highly recommend.
Sturdy Quality Food – Reliable upscalish neighborhood spot. Popular for brunch but if you are more of the foody type who is more into substance go here for dinner because I think they mostly shine at dinner time with roasted meats and veggies. Try to order their daily specials because it's usually tried and true and represents what the restaurant seems to be most passionate about. Service there when I went for dinner was excellent.
eh, neh – Ok, the chicken is good BUT they put it ontop of the waffle. The heat from the chicken makes the waffle a steamy mushy mess. It doesn't taste like cheddar at all.
--- – -
Insecure Waitress!!! – The owner of Buttermilk channel has brought a great restaurant and experience to this neighborhood. He is really kind and great with guests. For the most part the staff have been really great except for tonight.
Our server (one of the more 'mature' women servers) was particularly rude and over-the-top attentive to my husband - to the point where she filled his water glass and not mine, despite the fact that I was extremely thirsty from my salty scallop dish. After an entire evening of being overly gracious to my husband, I asked for the check (women do pay the bills as well) and her eye balls popped out of her head. She handed the bill back to my husband and not me.
Very rude and lacking class. I wish the food could have made up for the lack of service. Not sure I will go back unless I am hung over and in desperate need of brunch.
Disappointed – I had been wanting to try this place out for a while now so when friends suggested brunch there I was ready to chow down. I ordered the Eggs Huntington (poached eggs on biscuits with hollandaise). Once my plate arrived I was immediately disappointed. The biscuits were puny in size and there was barely any hollandaise over the eggs. Once I cut into my "poached" eggs they were very overcooked. They were more boiled with a hard yolk. It wasn't just my eggs either but also my friend's who ordered the same thing. However the burger another friend ordered looked delicious (she confirmed it). I'll definitely give this place another chance but just won't be ordering the same thing.
Good Food – My friend and I was told this was a nice place - nice it is. The service is really excellent. Everyone there is so attentive. However, I wish there were a little bit more options on the menu. Otherwise, I enjoyed myself.
Good interior but too loud – Not into the loud hipster feeling but does have a great interior. Went a couple times for a late brunch burger. The burger and fries are not that inspired. Kevin's in Red Hook is many times better.
My favorite neighborhood restaurant – Buttermillk Channel has definitely been my favorite neighborhood restaurant since opening a little more than a year ago. They've gotten it right from the start, with service being one of the most important aspects of the restaurant, along with a reasonably priced menu. The burger is I believe, $11 and comes with cheese (some places they get you for a few more bucks with cheese) making it one of the best deals in the area. The fried chicken has developed a rep and with good reason..its fantastic, crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle and the cheddar waffles and syrup are amazing. Go BC!
Meh. – Arrived at 8pm on a Sat. night to be told it's a 90 min. wait- but we sat at the bar and got served asap. The hosts/bartenders/servers were incredibly friendly and helpful, wonderful people. But the food was very overrated. I had the sweet potato/goat cheese croquettes, which were bland and greasy (and goat cheese and sweet potato are 2 of my favorite foods on earth!) I was starving and didn't even finish them. The mozzarella was bland on the "snacks" menu, and the rabbit rouilletts (sp?) were great but the pesto was dripping with oil.
For entrees, my hubby got the fried chicken which was also bland (but juicy) and generally overrated (the slaw it came with was great though). He asked for 2 breasts but one was a strange cut w/out a lot of meat on it. One tasted almost undercooked.
I got the duck meatloaf, which was too salty. The onion ring it came with was totally tasteless, and the turnip/parsnip puree was just ok.
Hubby got the root beer float for dessert which was WAY too wintergreen-y. My cappuccino was terrible. BUT my choc/caramel tart was AMAZING. I practically licked the plate.
All that, w/one glass of wine, was $100 for dinner. PLEASE save your money and go elsewhere! It is SO not worth your time (90 mins? Really??) and money considering all the other amazing options in Brooklyn. I mean, fried chicken? How the eff do you mess that up??

Grey Partridge
|Grey Partridge
|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|P. perdix
|Binomial name
|Perdix perdix
(Linnaeus, 1758)
8, see text
The Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix), also known as the English Partridge, Hungarian Partridge, or Hun, is a gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds. The species has been successfully introduced to many parts of the world for shooting, including vast areas of North America, where it is most commonly known as Hungarian partridge, or just "Hun". Widespread and common throughout its large range, the Grey Partridge is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This partridge breeds on farmland across most of Europe into western Asia, and has been introduced widely into North America. They are quite common in some areas of southern Canada and the northern United States.
The Grey Partridge is a rotund bird, 28–32 cm long, brown-backed, with grey flanks and chest. The belly is white, usually marked with a large chestnut-brown horse-shoe mark in males, and also in many females. Hens lay up to twenty eggs in a ground nest. The nest is usually in the margin of a cereal field, most commonly Winter wheat. The only major and constant difference between the sexes is the so-called cross of Lorraine on the tertiary coverts of females – these being marked with two transverse bars, as opposed to the one in males. These are present after around 16 weeks of age when the birds have moulted into adult plumage. Young Grey Partridges are mostly yellow-brown and lack the distinctive face and underpart markings. The song is a harsh kieerr-ik, and when disturbed, like most of the gamebirds, it flies a short distance on rounded wings, often calling rick rick rick as it rises. They are a seed-eating species, but the young in particular take insects as an essential protein supply. During the first 10 days of life, the young can only digest insects. The parents lead their chicks to the edges of cereal fields, where they can forage for insects. They are also a non-migratory terrestrial species, and form flocks outside the breeding season. Though common and not threatened, it appears to be declining in numbers in some areas of intensive cultivation such as Great Britain, probably due to a loss of breeding habitat and possibly food supplies. Their numbers have fallen in these areas by as much as 85% in the last 25 years. Efforts are being made in Great Britain by organizations such as the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust to halt this decline by creating Conservation headlands. In 1995 it was nominated a Biodiversity Action plan species. In Ireland it is now virtually confined to the Lough Boora reserve in County Offaly where a recent conservation project has succeeded in boosting its numbers to 900, raising hopes that it may be reintroduced to the rest of Ireland. (see UK BAP).
There are eight recognized subspecies:
- P. p. amoricana (Hartert, 1917) – locally in France
- P. p. canescens (Burturlin, 1906) – Southern Grey Partridge, Turkey east to the South Caucasus and northwest Iran
- P. p. hispaniensis (Reichenow, 1892) – Iberian Partridge, central Pyrenees to northeast Portugal
- P. p. italica (Hartert, 1917) – Italian Grey Partridge
- P. p. lucida (Altum, 1894) – Eastern Grey Partridge, Finland east to Ural Mountains and south to Black Sea and northern Caucasus
- P. p. perdix (Linnaeus, 1758) – nominate, British Isles and southern Scandinavia to Italy and the Balkans
- P. p. robusta (Homeyer and Tancré, 1883) – Southeastern Grey Partridge, Ural Mountains to southwestern Siberia and northwestern China
- P. p. sphagnetorum (Altum, 1894) – moors of the northern part of the Netherlands and northwest Germany

Vaya shrug is the perfect "go to" shrug for dressing up a tank or long sleeve shirt and for popping over a dress! Vaya is worked top-down, flat, and back and forth on a circular needle. Virtually seamless, all you need to sew is 2 small sleeve seams.... not so painful! One thing I LOVE about this shrug is how good it looks on a variety of body types.
It's easy to make this shrug wider or narrower by working more or less increase rows before you put the sleeve stitches into holders. Remember, though, if you only buy one skein of yarn you won't want to go too much bigger or you'll run out of yarn.

The Importance of Network Cable Management
Cable management is one of the most important factors in the overall efficiency, safety, and accessibility of your network. All network cabling, be it Ethernet, fiber, or A/V, has a bend radius that must be maintained for efficient energy flow. Think of it as you would think of making a turn while driving. The sharper the turn, the slower you must go. Improper cable installations have the potential to slow your network to a halt!
Poorly wired network equipment can also present a fire hazard. Dense unorganized cabling restricts the necessary airflow throughout your cabinets, trapping hot air inside and rendering even some of the most powerful cooling systems useless. Taking the time to organize your server room cables can increase component service life, prevent costly fire damage to your facility, and keep your personnel safe from harm.
When there is a problem, lackluster cable management can increase downtime many times more than necessary. IT technicians will have a very difficult time sorting through the thick spaghetti jungles to get to the root of the issue. This will lower productivity, increase stress, and contribute to an overall poor working environment. Organizing your cables at the time of installation will save hours of work and plenty of labor costs in the long run.
Since the server room is a seldom seen wing of your business, the level of its upkeep sends a strong message about the overall role that integrity plays in your business philosophy. Instead of shooing touring visitors past the server room, you will feel proud to invite them in for a peek. Not only will proper cable management improve efficiency and safety, but it is practically a work of modern art!
CableOrganizer.com offers the world's largest selection of quality network cable management products, and has a friendly and knowledgeable staff standing by to help you find the proper solution.

Authorities converge at a home where a fire killed four people on Dow Road in Orrington on Saturday.
By Beth Quimby
Staff Writer
A fire at a rural home in Orrington killed a father and his three children, while the children's mother was rescued from the roof and hospitalized for treatment of smoke inhalation, police said.
The victims of Saturday morning's fire were Ben Johnson, 30, and his three children, Ben, 9, Leslie, 8, and Ryan, 4, said Steve McCausland, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman.
Ben was in fourth grade at Center Drive School and Leslie was in third grade. McCausland said investigators have no reason to believe the victims were anyone other than the family, but they are awaiting positive identification from the state Medical Examiner's Office in Augusta.
The children's mother, Christine Johnson, 31, escaped the early morning fire and was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. Her condition wasn't known Saturday night.
McCausland said the fire was reported by neighbors at 2:38 a.m., when they heard a woman screaming.
Christine Johnson was rescued off the roof of the house by neighbors and firefighters.
More than a dozen investigators and State Police detectives were at the scene of the Dow Road home Saturday trying to determine the cause of the blaze.
McCausland said the couple and their children moved into the rented house about six months ago from Bangor. Ben Johnson worked at Hollywood Casino in Bangor, and Christine Johnson is a writer who worked out of the house.
The house "was heavily involved upon our arrival," Orrington Assistant Fire Chief Scott Stewart said. He said the Cape Cod-style wood home was severely damaged.
Orrington, a town of about 3,900 residents, serves as a bedroom community to Bangor, six miles to the north.

I have tried so many alcohol and aluminum free deodorants as I have developed an allergy that requires me to stay away from traditional deodorants. Every one that I tried before this product really didn't quite do the trick. This product is awesome. It works. Well! I use a standard amount and it lasts all day. I work outside all day so I need something that is really going to hold up, and this product is it! I have found my new go-to deodorant.
I hate to remove a star from this product because it's not what I want out of a deodorant.
This is an aluminum and alcohol free deodorant , and it doesn't have any kind of antiperspirant which left me dripping with sweat and smelling horrible. I even tried to apply this several times a day and that wasn't helping either.
It's possible my body has not acclimated to this product or it's lack of harmful chemicals doesn't do what I expect the chemical filled products to do.
I'm a gym rat and this product just doesn't hold up. Maybe I can use this in the winter when I won't be active.
Nice fresh scent that isn't overpowering like most deodorants. Glides on easily and doesn't cause skin irritation. Large enough to last a long time.
Great deodorant - great citrus smell! I use it all the time and will continue to use it.
BUT...it doesn't have anti-antiperspirant in it so it won't control wetness that well. I recommend it for those who don't get too wet.
I've tried "Clinical Strength", prescription, every deodorant on the planet, and this is the first that actually stops odor for the whole day, and doesn't feel greasy/clog pores/stain shirts. I'd have to be blown away to switch to anything else at this point.
I like the scent, feeling, and that it goes on clear. A little goes a long way.I highly recommend this!
I am searching for a good deodorant/antiperspirant that isn't full of chemicals. This is a good product, controls odor well. However, I didn't care for the sticky feel, and need something that will control wetness a little more .

Home Remedies for Body Tension
Body tension occurs when opposing muscles contract at the same time. For example, there two sets of muscles that allow you to move your elbow. One set of muscles is required to close the arm and the other to open it. If both set of muscles were to work together, your elbow would not move at all, since both sets of muscles would be pulling the arm in different and opposite directions. The harder the muscles are flexed, the harder the tension would become.
Every action in our body has an opposite action. If we can breathe in, we can also breathe out. If we can stand straight, we can also bend. These actions involve the use of hundreds of muscles, and some actions take the cooperated effect of more muscles that the others. The example of the elbow involves only two sets of muscles. One can only imagine the kind of tension that is created when more than two sets of opposing muscles are contracting together.
Lifestyle changes and home remedies can go a long way in order to rid the body completely or partially of physical tensions that you may experience during the course of the day.
There is not better way of removing full body tension than exercise. Regular exercises, especially those that involve stretching each part of the body, are the best ways to relax and release tension. Tighten each muscle and hold it for as long as you can without experiencing pain. Release slowly and repeat for at least five times until the tension is gone.
Localized body tension can be easily managed by a relaxing massage. Get a professional massage therapist or ask someone in the family to massage the area where you feel the tension.
A hot water bath or even a hot shower can provide physical stress relief to some extent.
Good posture is extremely necessary for managing stress in muscles. There is a correct posture for every type of activity. For example, if you are spending long hours at the computer, a straight back, arms on the arm rest at the level of the keyboard and the screen slightly below eye level is necessary to avoid tension in the muscles of the back, fingers and the neck.
Instead of bending your back to pick heavy objects, bend your knees and then pick up. Do not sit, stand or work in one position for long periods. While standing, your weight should be on both feet with the head held high and shoulders pulled back. When sitting, make sure that your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Mental activity is strongly linked to muscular tension. The brain translates mental stress into muscular tension. Contradicting thoughts ultimately lead to body tension. This is apparent if you only look in the face of a stressed person. The facial muscles are extremely contorted and can reflect muscular tension. The same fundamentals apply to the rest of the body, even though we are not aware of it. Home remedies like reading, relaxation techniques, or involving yourself in activities that you enjoy can also relieve stress.References:

With the majority of its mass in the head, the BLX Two delivers impressive stability for a light racquet. Groundstroke exchanges from the backcourt come with minimal twisting, giving this one a very solid feel. In addition to the impressive stability, the head heavy balance puts more mass behind the ball, resulting in easier depth and heavier spin. Weighing in at only 8.4 ounces, this extended 27.25 inch racquet swings fast. The open 16x19 fan pattern provides a luxurious sweetspot with plenty of bite for gripping the ball; and the 110 square inch head contains ample space for making good contact. At net, power and maneuverability dominate. Compact to medium strokes yield plenty of depth, while the light weight makes for easier positioning and more decisive put-aways. On serves, the extra length and maneuverability translate into higher tip speed, giving easy access to power and spin. All in all, this racquet is solid option for the 3.0 to 4.5 player who wants maneuverability and comfort without having to sacrifice stability.

"... to be able to see inside of albums..." I really like this type of virtuous approach to an artist's music, if this is what it truly is...? Would you believe that just this morning, as I was getting ready for work, I was reminiscing about certain cultural phrases from growing up, and I remembered the lyrics of a Skynyrd song that reminded me of a southern cultural phrase I'd heard from one of their albums. The lyrics came from a cultural phrase or expression used, I suppose, expressly by male
adolescents, who were, when Ronnie Van Zant wrote and added these lyrics, were,
and as Ronnie would say "...here it comes (referring to those chord killing guitar licks)..." uncircumcised southern boys. The lyrics from the song were "...skin your worm..." I learned from those lyrics that this cultual phrase, "skin your worm," was an adolescent discovery or post-puberty discvovery of the male sex organ that was still surrounded by foreskin, hence, "skin your worm." Now this type of uncircumcised discovery, in southern culture (or maybe other cultures, I don't know) was part of the boyhood charm of masculine discovery and becoming a man. A real man...knowing the qualities of his possessions with or without circumcision--this is how I'm able to see inside the albums--through the life and music of the artist.
Is it true that a musician's life is their music and their music life? Look, I know, there are all kinds of musicians (thank God) and music to fill every lifetime. "...I know, it's only rock ' n' roll, but..." Yes, I do. Oh, please let me know which Skynyrd song has those "...skin your worm..." lyrics. Thanx, Die Hards!!
Mark Morton (Die Hard Fan) // June 04, 2011 5:58:34 PM UTC
I'd like too be able to see reverse sides, and insides of albums.
chords72 // April 20, 2011 6:04:49 PM UTC
Hey, mary ella: I pulled out my old, frayed album jacket cover and began to remember the concerts, the guitars, the old glory confederate flags, etc.
But when I started listening to "Simple Man," it was like hearing the song for the first time, again...what really impressed me on the song were the percussions and drumming. Did you hear that sensational cymballing? The percussions are so wonderfully searing, I thought about John Bonham's amazing percussions on his drumming...
Take a listen...

maryella // March 05, 2011 2:40:26 AM UTC
Hi, Avro:
Freebird is one of my faves from the album, too. When we first heard this cut from the album, we thought that the first part of the lyrics, "...if I leave here tomorrow...would you still remember me...," came from Ronnie's friendship with bluesman Curtis Lowe, the African American blues musician who played the Dobro, and one of Ronnie's childhood friends. Ronnie wrote a song about Curtis Lowe, "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe," released on Second Helping (1974).
Anyway, the original lyrics we thought about and compared to Ronnie's lyrics on Freebird came from a Black spiritual song we knew from Church and it sings something like "...if I die here tomorrow, will you miss me when I'm gone..." We've mused and thought that Ronnie and Curtis Lowe sang spiritual songs together, especially when Curtis Lowe was strumming the Dobro and influencing Ronnie's gifted vocal talents, and this is just one of the reasons Freebird is such a spiritually beautiful ballad. In Freebird, we understand that Ronnie juxtaposed his understandings of freedom and being--being who he was and the realities of who people wanted him to be--he was true to the knowledge of himself--as we all know--even when that truth took him into excessive drug use--he was true. He never made excuses, but gave us songs
that allowed us to know and love him as ourselves--a real man. Perhaps this is how you get those eternal connections in your spine...
Anyway, my other favorite ballads on the album are "Tuesday's Gone," and "Simple Man." The radio stations out here in the midwest started playing
Shine Down's cover of "Simple Man," and it just didn't sit well with us at all. First of all, we consider "Simple Man" by Ronnie very sacred--sacred to the southern tradition of Ronnie's love and devotion to his mother--"Simple Man" is one such ballad. When the stations began playing Shine Down's cover of the song, we called every station and requested the original from Skynyrd. Hey, just as we thought, most of the DJs stopped playing Shine Down's cover of "Simple Man" after they heard Ronnie's pining, soulful lyrics. Of course, we do appreciate Shine Down's attempt in approaching "Simple Man," but "Simple Man" is such an eternal ballad, I'm afraid the boys just couldn't touch it, because of its sacredness in Ronnie's soul, and as we know, as the Black folks say down in Jacksonville, who love Ronnie's song and legacy,
"...you can't touch that..."
What an incredible album from such an incredible band!!!
Mary Ella

Martin St. Louis' addition to the Tampa Bay Lightning was an after-thought in 2000. 11 years later, Marty scored his 300th goal with the club.
The Georgia Bulldogs hosted the South Carolina Gamecocks for a men's basketball game in Stegeman Coliseum on Saturday night, and Mark Fox's team put together its most complete game of the season in stating its case for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The Wilcox County Patriots' Nick Marshall was among the 25 elite high school prospects who signed letters of intent to play for Mark Richt's Georgia Bulldogs on national signing day. Dawg Sports explains why Marshall is the kind of athlete the Bulldogs need to target for future recruiting classes, as well.

North Texas Soccer Fan Guide
North Texas will try to extend its 19-year streak of winning seasons against a rugged schedule, and will look for a fourth berth in the NCAA Tournament in its first season in Conference USA.
As it did a year ago, North Texas will play nine home games at the Mean Green Soccer Stadium this season, headlined by a meeting against top-20 power Oklahoma State on September 22.
This year's slate also features games with 13 opponents from Texas or neighboring states and nine contests against teams in the RPI Top 100 last year.
Tough Non-Conference Opponents
The Mean Green's non-conference schedule includes six games against ACC or Big 12 schools.
After its home opener on August 25 against Houston Baptist, North Texas will play games in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, against Wake Forest and Virginia Tech of the ACC. the Mean Green will also face TCU, Oklahoma and Baylor of the Big 12 on the road. The home non-conference schedule includes Sam Houston State, McNeese State, and the September 22 tilt against Oklahoma State.
Conference USA Debut
Conference USA should provide a much tougher, more balanced slate of league foes for the Mean Green. North Texas will open Conference USA play on September 27 at home against Southern Miss, and will also host Louisiana Tech, UT-San Antonio, UNC-Charlotte, and UT-El Paso.
Perhaps the toughest conference tests will come the road in back-to-back meetings against the defending league co-champions Rice on Oct. 4 and Colorado College on Oct. 6.
Mean Green Sports Pass
Without a doubt, the best value for North Texas sports fans is the Mean Green Sports Pass. The Pass allows you to attend all of this season's North Texas regular-season home soccer, volleyball, and softball games. The cost is about a dollar per game for adults and just 60 cents a game for kids 17 and under.
For that price, you get nine games featuring the defending Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas soccer team and 18 games of the Mean Green volleyball squad, which is expected to make a run at the NCAA Tournament this year. In the spring, you also get the Mean Green softball team, which plays at one of the top softball-only facilities in the region, Lovelace Stadium. This season's softball schedule is still being assembled, but last year's featured 24 home games. That's approximately 50 games this season, all available with the Mean Green Sports Pass.
The 2013 Mean Green Sports Pass will go on sale in August through the ticket office. The Mean Green Sports Pass can be purchased online, at the North Texas Athletic Ticket Office on the west side of Apogee Stadium, or by phone at 1-800-UNT-2366.
Mean Green All-Access

Meet Coach Hedlund
Having established himself as one of the most prominent coaches in the Central Region, John Hedlund, who is in his 19th year at North Texas, has molded North Texas soccer into one of the most consistently-winning programs in the nation.
Hedlund has had a winning season every year he has been at North Texas; only Anson Dorrance (North Carolina, 30 years) and John Daly (William & Mary, 25 years) have active streaks of more winning seasons at one school. Since 1995, Coach Hedlund has led North Texas to the eighth-best winning percentage among all coaches nationally at just one school.
In 2012, Hedlund led the Mean Green to its seventh overall conference championship trophy.

Awesome, Beautiful shoes!
By Meekee
from San Diego, CA
Best Uses
Comments about SB-SWEET CHAMPAGNE:
These shoes are awesome. I'm always a little hesitant to buy shoes online because I'm worried about the fit. But I took a chance on these since there are not B.J. stores around me, they fit perfectly. I bought a size 8, I have wide feet and I had no problem fitting my foot into the shoe. My toes don't pop out the spaces (which I'm always worried about with sandal-type heels). I haven't worn these a full day, and I won't until my wedding day next year, 2015, but I've worn them around the house and they fit quite nicely. I just may go ahead and also buy these in black. By the way, the shoe is champagne, the under sole is a light blue, the bling sparkles WONDERFULLY in the light. It's stunning, just to let you know, the sparkles have a bluish sparkle to them, similar to the color on the sole. You can't see that in the pictures, not until they hit the light.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dreams & Oatmeal
I had an unusual childhood. I was seven years old before I learned that not all children analyzed their dreams each morning at the breakfast table with mom and dad, diagramming the archetypes on a yellow pad, next to the bowl of oatmeal.
When I came home with a typical childhood complaint like "Johnny teased me at recess," I was usually met with "What do you think is going on at home for Johnny that would cause him to tease other kids?"
My parents weren't psychotherapists, religious fanatics, or even hippies. They were regular people who believed that understanding oneself and others were essential parts of living a happy life. From an early age, I was encouraged to learn about psychology and spirituality and apply tools from both arenas to my daily life. Our house was full of books on those subjects and I grew up reading them.
I developed a powerful inner life — a strong spirituality and knowledge of how to work with my own fears and limiting beliefs. At the same time, I navigated a very different landscape, the competitive academic environments of Yale and Stanford Business School where logic was king. While our culture often positions these realms as very separate, the truth is that they enrich each other. Spiritual connection and inner work are fuel for extraordinary worldly achievement.
My work today – writing, teaching, and speaking about how we can live with greater peace, delight, and positive impact – embodies this fusion of inner and outer work, mind and heart, learned knowledge and intuitive wisdom.
Amplifying Women's Voices
When I was fourteen years old, I listened to my high school English teacher explain that our class would read a variety of books centered around the theme "Coming of Age." The teacher passed out a list of the books we would read over the course of the year: Black Boy, A Separate Peace, Lord of the Flies, and others.
I looked at the list and saw: all the books were about boys coming of age. All were written by men. I knew, from my own experience, that the story of girls coming of age was very different from that of boys. I understood we'd only be learning only half the story of "coming of age" if we only read books by men and about boys.
I spoke to the teacher, then the principal. I created a committee, raised funds, lobbied the school board, and a few years later, many works by women were added to my high school's English curriculum.
I tell this story here because it was my foundational experience following a calling that continues to be at the heart of my work: to restore women's voices where they are missing, to amplify women's impact in the world – both for the wellbeing of women and for the wellbeing of our civilization.
This calling has led me to create two anthologies of Jewish women's writings about the Passover holiday, giving thousands of families a way to add women's perspectives to a religious ritual where women's voices had been entirely absent. That same calling inspired me to work on women's issues in the nonprofit world, and to lead the Women in Management organization at Stanford Business School.
It drives much of the work I do now: coaching women leaders, leading the Playing Big global women's leadership program, and leading The Girl Effect Blogging Campaign, through which hundreds of bloggers write about the importance of investing in girls' education in the developing world.
During the summer of 2010, I wrote an article called "10 Rules for Brilliant Women." The article talked about 10 principles I saw "brilliant" – smart, creative, visionary women not acting upon - to their detriment. The article struck a huge chord, first at Huffington Post, then at More Magazine.com, and soon all around the web.
Most brilliant women don't see their own brilliance and are "playing small" and they know it: not speaking up, doubting themselves, seeing themselves as "not yet ready" to launch the big idea, the organization, to put themselves at the table. The 10 Rules, and the other work I do with women leaders are about learning how to quiet self-doubt, clarify purpose, and become comfortable with taking bold action in the workplace and in the world. That is what I teach, and I love to teach it because I'm still learning it myself.
I believe the task of our time is not just to bring more women into positions of power, but to empower women to transform the institutions they are part of by bringing their wisdom, critiques, perspectives and solutions to the fore.
Highlights From Along The Path
Here are some of the highlights from along my path:
- My love for poetry and my interest in human psychology led me to spend two years in intensive study of Shakespeare while an undergraduate at Yale. In the past few years, I recovered my writing voice ( my inner critic helped me take a hiatus from writing for about 7 years) and began writing poetry again.
- I co-created two collections of contemporary women's writings, The Women's Passover Companion and The Women's Seder Sourcebook, which were published in 2003. Among the 180 contributing authors are Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Senator Barbara Boxer, playwright Eve Ensler, and The Red Tent author Anita Diamant. These collections explore contemporary ritual, women's issues and spirituality.
- I decided to go to business school, to learn how to build and scale organizations to achieve significant impact. (Yes, some people did injure themselves upon hearing the news, backing into glass windows or literally falling out of chairs). I received my MBA from Stanford Business School, where my studies focused on leadership and innovation, with a focus on the social sector. At Stanford, I served as the Co-President of the Women in Management organization and created a range of programs for women leaders.
- Before shifting my professional pursuits to writing and teaching, I worked in the nonprofit sector addressing issues ranging from women's leadership to special needs inclusion to social services for vulnerable populations. I continue my involvement in the nonprofit sector as a volunteer and board member.
- I've been delighted to be the representative of the United States for the BBC World Service Radio program "Born A Girl" which has followed six young women from around the world through their young adult years.
When I'm not Doing the Thing We Call "Work"
I love poetry and modern dance. I revere art and artists.
Set me up with vegetables to chop, a recipe (for inspiration not instruction), and some music, and you'll get a very, very happy camper.
My life is filled with an eclectic band of exquisite souls, my funny, loving friends who I adore so much it makes me well up just thinking about them.
I just celebrated my eleventh anniversary with my darling and quite amazing husband. He's taught me a lot about how to love and he also cracks me up on a daily basis.
I struggle with telling the truth when its hard, procrastinating on life-logistics, and accepting truth that yes, the cell phone really does need to get charged every night.
I grew up in the San Francisco area and live here now. Nothing gets me more buzzing with delight than enjoying a great latte in one of our city's adorable cafes.
I'm at my most contented, flow-state self when writing, leading a workshop or public speaking, or seeing art that leaves me speechless.

OpenOffice Lives, More Involvement Needed
Free office solution OpenOffice.org is still in the best of shape, based on reactions from project members to Novell developer Michael Meeks's recent pessimistic view. The Linux Foundation is one of many who are concerned. All want one thing: more.
Two weeks ago, OpenOffice.org collaborator Michael Meeks blogged a message of concern about the project, painting it in not so rosy terms. He cited numerous statistics to show that, in his opinion, the code has been poorly maintained, causing many developers to pull off the project from frustration. This prompted a reaction from Thorsten Ziehm, quality expert at Sun Microsystems for OpenOffice and its commercial variant StarOffice. In his "What was done in 2008" blog," Ziehm followed Meeks's example by showing supporting graphics and statistics, but this time to refute Meeks's claims. Whereas Meeks cites an increasing developer withdrawal from the project, Ziehm points to the "nearly 900 child work spaces" that were integrated. While Meeks is convinced of Sun's retreat, Ziehm cites a contrary opinion from Sun VP Jim Parkinson in his weblog from November 2008: "We are not about to walk away from OpenOffice.org."
Florian Effenberger, marketing representative for the project, also opined in a Linux Magazine Online blog that he was amazed at Meeks's pessimistic view. He even saw the current polarization as evidence of the project's vitality: "The differing viewpoints prove only that the project continues to be active, that it lives, that many are thinking about it and take it close to heart. There's no better way of showing how full of life it is." As evidence he pointed to the 50 new extensions enhancing OpenOffice that were added in December.
The Linux Foundation is showing its own concern. Foundation VP Amanda McPherson sees OpenOffice.org as the great alternative to Microsoft and that the 28 million downloads for the last OpenOffice version as undoubtable proof of its success. Even the vaguest notion about a questionable future could prove fatal. In her weblog she writes, "I worry that we would be beholden to the same proprietary forces that have shaped the desktop market. We shouldn't rely on Sun to save us here. In fact it may be counter-productive to do so."
All seemed to agree that OpenOffice lives and will continue to do so with more participants involved. Ziehm summarizes with, "we need more people in all areas and projects – User Experience, QA, L10N, Development or any other project on OOo – to get dreams fulfilled."
BugsFiling bugs to the OOo developers are indeed frustrating. I filed several critical or hopeless issues since around 2001-2002, the last in 2004, and most of them where fixed only recently or are not fixed yet.
My first problems was with developers with no idea about the real world. Usability issues where rejected with "works for me" but where fixed later after usability tests of course showed that I was right. It was so obvious, but I ha to struggle with computer enthusiasts. Later it was project managers or something that handled the dialog in the issue handling system and things improved.
Even when issues have several hundred votes it takes years before fixes or improvements are implemented. I have seen many smaller (VERY small!!!) companies implement many of these features from quarter to quarter, so I assume that it is not only about lack of resurces, this problem.
But really... waiting for 5 years for smaller features that where part of Office 95 or Office 97, thats too much.
OpenOffice Lives, More Involvement NeededSorry, previous author was me, not Britta Wülfing
OpenOffice Lives, More Involvement NeededSince my blog ( see [1] ) is referenced on Planet ( [2] ) I think Thorsten Ziehm answered to my blog entry, not the Michael one (please read again [3] ....

bugsHi to AC who posted above about the spreadsheet bug: what is the bug number? My experience with Open Office bugs has been different, both from the outstanding maintainers of my distribution (Debian) and from "upstream" (OpenOffice.org itself).
OpenOffice is crucial to desktop LinuxOpenOffice needs to be supported in a big way. It's a crucial application for desktop Linnux and it isn't the kind of work that's really suited to part-time or hobbyist developers. Not only Sun but also Novell, Red Hat, Canonical, IBM, and all the rest, need to commit time, money, and people to OpenOffice. If this crucial piece of software falls into disrepair, desktop Linux's viability will suffer greatly.
Re: OpenOffice Lives, More Involvement NeededTry posting a bug report on OpenOffice - it's an exercise in frustrating futility. There is *still* a critical flaw involving absolute references in the spreadsheet - and they won't admit it even EXISTS!!!!!! I feel like I've been slamming my head into a concrete wall - and it's long past time to stop. OO is badly broken; the developers refuse to listen to the users . . . . It's just pointless to even try. I hope KOffice turns out better.
PS - I *like* OpenOffice - the things that aren't broken are better than Microsoft Office - but the broken parts need to be acknowledged and fixed.
Sugarcoat that pillMaybe some people will swallow it...

The U.S. Constitution is not a communist document and the Obama administration's particularized service to communism cannot be hidden. Communism has a murderous and insane history and requires constant surveillance (National Security Administration) of persons and groups who oppose totalitarianism.
Marx and Engels wrote, "Abolition of the Family" as a central tenet of their communist manifesto. Omnipotent and omnipresent government replaces the traditional family unit by feeding, clothing and housing the children of destroyed families creating a dependent, dysfunctional and mentally handicapped culture that devalues family autonomy and builds the ruinous liberal-progressive voter base.

Fail forward
I recently heard about a book written by John Maxwell called Failing Forward. I haven't yet read the book, but when I heard the title, it immediately grabbed my attention. My mind started racing with several concepts of how I thought about "failing forward." It was particularly timely as I had just had a project fail to work out, but was able to see it as a learning experience.Read More

MN Facing School Counselor Shortages; EGF No ExceptionEAST GRAND FORKS, MN (WDAZ-TV) - Minnesota is facing a shortage of school counselors state-wide. The average ratio of students to counselors is 459 to 1. But in East Grand Forks, the gap is much larger.
EAST GRAND FORKS, MN (WDAZ-TV) - Minnesota is facing a shortage of school counselors state-wide. The average ratio of students to counselors is 459 to 1. But in East Grand Forks, the gap is much larger.
The ratio of students to counselors district-wide is 1,700 to two.
Although the need in East Grand Forks is mostly at the high school, the shortage is affecting the entire district.
"It comes down to priority and funding," East Grand Forks Superintendent David Pace said.
Funding is the main reason why the East Grand Forks school district can't add another counselor position. And it's come down to an ultimatum.
"School districts across the state have had to make that choice of counselors or class sizes that are extremely large," Pace said.
"It is what it is," Central Middle School Principal Lon Ellingson said.
At Central Middle School, 380 students share one counselor which is under the average ratio. But a few blocks away at Senior High School, it's 500 students to one, and district-wide all 1,700 students share just to counselors.
"That's the reality we're in for this kind of state," Pace said.
School counselors wear multiple hats in East Grand Forks. From family and academic issues to helping with career and college choices, school officials agree they're needed.
"There's no doubt, it definitely would be nice to have a second counselor," Pace said.
"It would always be nice to have more help," Ellingson said.
Pace says if the state decides to mandate more counselors per student, it must allow a budget.
"The reality is if you're going to pass that significant regulation, there has to be money tied to it," Pace said.
As of right now, there isn't a statewide mandate in the works that would require a certain number of counselors.
The East Grand Forks school district also has two social workers who help out and play the counselor role at the elementary schools.

Saturday, January 1, 2005
It looked like it was going to be all Team USA, when they started 2005 off with a bang, scoring four goals in the first period. Goals came from Jamie McBain, Bill Sweatt, Blake Geoffrion and Ryan Flynn. Team Ontario showed they still had life when Aaron Snow scored late in the period. In the second period Justin Azevedo cut the USA lead in half, when his goal found the top shelf. Team USA regained their three point lead when Chris Summers sneaked one threw the five hole on Team Ontario Goalie, Jason Guy. Cory Emmerton was again able to bring the game closer as he scored a shorthanded goal to close out the second period. The third period was all Team Ontario as they scored four unanswered goals. Cory Emmerton buried his second of the game, while Jordan Stall scored two, one included an empty net goal. The biggest goal came with 22 seconds left in the game when James McGinn silenced the USA fans and scored the game winner. The players of the game were Brian Strait for Team USA and Jason Guy for Team Ontario.
A boisterous crowd at the Enmax Centre on New Year's Day added to the electricity on the ice, as both teams came out firing early in the contest. Patrick O'Keefe scored on a point shot to give Team Atlantic a 1-0 lead. Team Pacific quickly retaliated when Ben Maxwell snuck in a nifty wrap-around goal to tie it up 1-1. Atlantic reclaimed the lead early in the second when Robert Slaney's shot found the back of the net. Pacific did not sit idle, as forward Zach Hamill scored two unanswered goals to give his team a 3-2 lead before the end of the second period. In the third, Jesse Dudas recorded his tournament leading 6th assist when he assisted on Robert Skinner's goal early in the frame. Pacific then added another marker for his team when Tyler Swystun scored the club's 5th goal to give the team a 5-2 lead. Pacific held onto the lead to establish the win. Pacific's record improves to 2-0-2. Atlantic's record drops to 2-1-0. Philadelphia Flyers' head coach Ken Hitchcock presented the players of the game. Brad Marchand was the player of the game for Atlantic. Brady Calla was the player of the game for Pacific.
Team Quebec dominated Finland in the first period which was evidenced by Quebec's 20 shots on goal, to Finland's 6. Despite the high number of shots taken, Quebec's Benjamin Breault scored the only goal for his club in the period. It was goaltender Niko Hovinen who kept his team in the game after the first twenty minutes of play. His Finnish teammate, Jan-Mikael Juutilainen capitalized on a power-play opportunity to tie the game 1-1. Finland changed their tone drastically in the second period, scoring 4 goals within ten minutes. Francois Bouchard picked up his second point on the night when he assisted on Hugo Carpentier's lone Quebec goal in the period. The frame ended with Finland in the lead with a score of 5-2. The third period saw Quebec and Finland score 1 goal each, to conclude the game with a final score of 6-3, and a victory for Finland. Finland's record improves to 2-0-1 with the win on the evening. Quebec's record drops to 0-3-0. Finnish forwards Timo Rinne and Jan-Mikael Juutilainen had a strong game, gathering 4 and 5 points respectively. Niko Hovinen made 42 saves for the win.
Team West looked to go 3-0 in the tournament as they played winless Team Germany in front of a pro Team West crowd at the Nicholas Sheran Arena. Team West came out flying as Jordan Knackstedt split the German defense and opened the scoring. Team Germany was equal to the task as Patrick Hager split the Team West defense and tied the game at one. Team West came right back to take the lead, when Kyle Bortis scored two quick goals past Benjamin Dirksen. The domination continued for Team West in the second period, as three goals were scored. First, by Logan Pyett, followed by Ian Duval, and Jonathan Toews. Team Germany was able to sneak one in at the end of the second when Marcel Muller went five hole on Kevin Armstrong. One more goal was scored in the third when Logan Pyett scored on a deflection. Shots on goal for the game were 50-20 for Team West. The player of the game for Team Germany was Marcel Muller. For Team West the player of the game was captain Jonathan Toews, who now has 4 goals and 2 assists in the tournament.

She'd been recently promoted to a plum divisional-CFO post at Microsoft, charged with everything from integrating the company's largest-ever acquisition to helping it battle Google in the fast-growing search and online advertising markets. And she had just given birth to a baby girl. Now was not the time to make a major life change.
And then the phone rang — while she was on maternity leave, no less. Would she be interested in moving to Chicago, to become corporate CFO of $10 billion Aon Corp.?
For the 36-year-old Davies, the offer presented a chance to take a deep dive into risk management and human capital — "two incredibly fast-growing businesses" at Aon, which owns both an insurance-brokerage practice and a human-resources consulting firm. She said yes, and joined Aon this past November, plunging into a major operational restructuring and launching a stock buyback to help shore up the company's stock price. "It wasn't that I thought it was the right time for a change; this seemed like a unique opportunity," she says.
Davies's story flies in the face of the notion that companies sideline women for fear they will suddenly trade corporate life for domestic bliss. Over the past year, she and 9 other women moved into the top finance spots at America's largest companies. In all but one case they replaced men, tackling such tough assignments as keeping Lehman Brothers afloat amid the subprime crisis and spearheading a major acquisition at ITT. (Not that the CFO suite has become more welcoming to women: 10 also departed, most replaced by men, keeping the composition of Fortune 500 female CFOs constant at 38, or 7.6 percent. See "No Net Gain" at the end of this article.)
In many respects the women who ascended to large-company CFO posts got there the same way that men do: half were promoted internally and half were outside hires, a split that was constant across the entire Fortune 1,000 in 2007, according to executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles. Some were CFOs of smaller companies, while others were divisional CFOs or CEOs, posts that often serve as launching pads for men who become large-company CFOs. And the women who joined the elite ranks of global CFOs almost always combine deep business experience with impeccable finance skills. Aon chose Davies out of "hundreds and hundreds of candidates," says CEO Gregory Case, in large part because of her experience with complex global operations, and because she looked to be "a great business athlete, someone who not only could perform as CFO, but who also could be a key member of the team."
Behind those similar backgrounds and qualifications, however, loom some key differences. For one, the odds are against women — literally. Slates of CFO candidates, for example, typically include a female choice, but are still predominantly male. Getting to that level requires difficult choices that often work against cultural norms. There could be "many, many more" female CFOs at big companies, says Charles Eldridge, partner and managing director of the financial-officers practice of Korn Ferry International, if not for the fact that a woman's career opportunities are often very difficult to reconcile with a spouse's job demands and children's needs. And then there are certain intangible factors, including hazily defined qualities like leadership ability and "executive presence," which have historically been associated with men.
