Adam Prendergast
TROY, Ala. Eight former Troy University student-athletes, administrators and coaches will be enshrined into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday, April 20, Athletic Director John Hartwell announced Thursday afternoon.
The second class into the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame consists of John Archer (men's basketball), John Doc Anderson (track & field/cross country; administration), Bobby Enslen (football), Chan Gailey (football), Danny Grant (football), Joyce Sorrell (women's basketball; administration), Willie Tullis (football) and Lawrence Tynes (football).
"Troy has a tremendous athletics history and the eight selections for the 2013 Troy University Sports Hall of Fame class are outstanding representatives of our past," Hartwell said. "In addition to their athletic accomplishments which speak for themselves, they have also been great ambassadors for Troy University throughout their communities and across the country. On behalf of Troy University, would like to congratulate them of this prestigious honor and thank them for their service to Troy University."
The induction ceremony will be the premier event of a busy T-Club Weekend on campus. The Troy baseball and softball teams will host Sun Belt Conference series, while the Trojan football team will play its annual T-Day Spring Game at 11 a.m. on the morning of the ceremony.
"The 2013 Troy University Sports Hall of Fame Banquet will be the culmination of a exciting weekend on our campus," Hartwell said. "We are excited to move the banquet to April this year to coincide with our T-Club Weekend so that more of our former athletes will have an opportunity to attend the banquet that will honor their teammates and coaches."
Seats for the ceremony in Trojan Arena can be purchased for $100 each and tables can be purchased for $800. Sponsorships are also available for the evening. For more information or to purchase tickets contact the Troy Athletic Department at 334-670-3482.
2013 Troy University Sports Hall of Fame Class
John Doc Anderson Track & Field / Cross Country; Administration - Currently an associate professor and clinical director in Troy University's Athletic Training Education program, John Doc Anderson previously served as Troy State's track and field and cross country head coach (1969-1980) and head athletic trainer (1965-80). After a 10-year stint as head athletic trainer at LSU, Anderson returned to Troy State in 1990 and continued to coach the cross country teams. Anderson has been named NAIA Track Coach of the Year twice (1973, 1974) and was named National Cross Country Coach of the Year (1992). He was named Gulf South Conference Coach of the Year six different times and NCAA Division II Regional Coach of the Year four times. Anderson's track and field teams won two Alabama Collegiate Conference championships (1970, 1971) as well as one Gulf South Conference Championship (1977). Anderson's cross country teams dominated the Gulf South Conference as they won 10 conference titles (1971, 1974-79, 1991-92, 1994) and five NCAA Division II Regional Championships (1974-76, 1978-79). Throughout his time at Troy, Anderson coached 45 All-Americans, including Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member Charles Oliver, who won the NAIA 400-meter National Championship in 1976. Anderson, a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association, served as an athletic trainer for U.S. Track and Field at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and was a member of the U.S. Track and Field medical team in 1984, 1988 and 1992.
John Archer Men's Basketball Serving as men's basketball head coach for 17 seasons (1956-73), John Archer posted a 303-185 record at Troy State. The Arkansas native made an immediate impact on the program as he led Troy State to three NAIA National Tournament appearances in his first three seasons. Archer coached three Alabama Collegiate Conference championship teams (1960-61, 1961-62, 1963-64) and also served as the head tennis coach and football line coach in the early stages of his time at Troy State. Archer served on the U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Committee in 1969 where he helped choose the United States' teams for the Olympics and Pan American Games. After his coaching days were over, Archer remained on the Troy State staff as a physical education instructor and intramural director. John Archer passed away on Oct. 13, 1998.
Bobby Enslen Football Bobby Enslen finished his career at Troy State as one of the most dangerous all-purpose players in the country. Enslen had 61 catches for 970 yards and 12 touchdowns during Troy State's 1968 NAIA National Championship season and still today holds the Troy record for the longest punt return in school history with his 90-yard return against Samford in 1967. An all-conference and all-district selection, Enslen's 12 touchdown receptions in 1968 still rank as the third most in a season in Troy history, while his 61 catches and 970 receiving yards rank eighth; his 16 career touchdowns still sit as the fifth most in Troy history. He tied the NAIA record with four touchdown receptions in Troy State's 63-10 victory over Willamette in the national semifinals (Troy's Danny Grant set the record in 1966). The Red Wave went a combined 19-3 in Enslen's two seasons and won a pair of Alabama Collegiate Conference championships.
Chan Gailey Football Chan Gailey spent just two seasons as the head coach of the Troy State football team, but his impact was felt for many years. Gailey turned around a program that won just five games over the two years prior to his arrival (1981-82) into the 1984 NCAA Division II National Champions. His incredible turnaround of the Trojan football program led to another Division II National Title in 1987 and helped lay the groundwork for the future of Troy football. Gailey guided the Trojans to a 7-4 record in his first season just one year removed from a 2-8 finish. Troy State opened Gailey's second season with seven straight victories and finished the year with five straight wins, including an 18-17 win over North Dakota State in the National Championship Game on Ted Clem's 50-yard field goal as time expired. Gailey, who was an assistant coach at Troy State from 1976-78, moved to the NFL as an assistant coach with the Denver Broncos following the 1984 season before becoming the head coach of the Birmingham Fire (NFL Europe) and Samford. Gailey has also served as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Georgia Tech.
Danny Grant Football One of the most dominate receivers in Troy football history, Danny Grant still ranks among the all-time single-season and career leaders in school history over 40 years following his playing career. An NAIA All-America selection, Grant finished his three-year career at Troy State with 44 career touchdown receptions, which is 17 more than anyone else in school history. Grant's All-America season came during Troy State's 1968 National Championship run. He caught 72 passes for 1,002 yards and 14 touchdowns to become the first player in school history to top the 1,000-yard receiving mark. Grant's 14 touchdown receptions in 1966 and 1968 still stand as Troy single-season records and his 10 touchdown grabs in 1967 rank as the fifth most; a Troy player has caught double-digit touchdowns just six times over the rich history of the program and Grant has three of those six. Grant, who was a three-time all-conference selection, set the NAIA single-game record with four touchdown receptions in 1966 against Arkansas State and still owns the Troy single-game records for receptions (16), receiving yards (225), touchdown receptions (4) and points scored (24). Grant's career numbers have also stood the test of time as he ranks second in receptions (215), receiving yards (2,907) and receptions per game (5.1).
Joyce Sorrell Women's Basketball; Administrator Joyce Sorrell is the mother of women's athletics at Troy University. Originally hired as an instructor in the Department of Health and Physical Education in 1968, Sorrell recognized a need for women's athletics at Troy State. After directing women's intramurals, Sorrell developed an extramural program that evolved into the women's athletic program in 1976. On Aug. 19, 1976, Sorrell was named the first ever Coordinator for Women's Sports at Troy State as the university began to officially sponsor women's basketball, volleyball and tennis. Sorrell served as the head coach for all three in the early stages of the program, but made her name in the coaching field on the hardwood. Sorrell served as the women's basketball head coach at Troy State for 20 years (1975-95) and recorded 274 wins along the way, still the most in program history. Sorrell's 1980-81 team won an Alabama AIAW State Championship and posted an 18-16 overall record on the season. Sorrell coached an All-American in Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member Denise Monroe from 1977 to 1981. Sorrell led the women's basketball program through seven years (1975-82) as a member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) before the NCAA began sponsoring championships in women's athletics in 1982. Sorrell helped the program then transfer from NCAA Division II to Division I in 1993-94 before retiring from coaching in 1995. Sorrell retired from Troy University in 2006 after 39 years at Troy teaching in the Department of Health and Physical Education and coaching.
Willie Tullis Football A Kodak All-American and two-time All-Gulf South selection, Willie Tullis still ranks among the all-time Troy greats in several offensive categories. In his All-American season (1980), Tullis rushed for 450 yards and six touchdowns and passed for 1,880 yards and 14 touchdowns. Tullis' career numbers still stand true as he ranks ninth in passing yards (3,456) and passing touchdowns (25), while his 15.5 average yards per completion rank him seventh among Troy's all-time quarterbacks and his 15 career rushing touchdowns are the 12th most in school history. The Trojans won 21 games and lost just seven during his time at Troy State before he moved on to a successful NFL career. Tullis was selected by the Houston Oilers in the eighth round of the 1981 NFL Draft. From there, he spent time with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts before ending his career in 1988. Tullis opened his NFL career in style as he returned a kick 95 yards for a touchdown in his first career game.
Lawrence Tynes Football Lawrence Tynes transformed his successful career as a Trojan into a pair of Super Bowl titles with the New York Giants. A three-time All-Southland Conference selection, Tynes helped Troy State to a pair of NCAA Division I-AA Playoff berths and Southland Conference titles in 1999 and 2000. Tynes holds Troy's career record after he connected on 98.2 percent (111-of-113) of his extra points and is second in career field goal percentage (77.2) while ranking third all-time in field goals made (44). Tynes played for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2004 to 2006 before signing with the Giants in 2007. He booted the game-winning field goal in overtime of the 2008 NFC Championship Game and the 2011 NFC Championship Game to send the Giants to the Super Bowl. Tynes has made 82 percent of his field goals as a professional and has not missed an extra point in five seasons. Tynes is also well known for his charitable work in both New York and his hometown of Milton, Fla.

Linden coach Mark Miller was named one of six model coaches for 2012-13 by the Sac-Joaquin Section.
Linden coach Mark Miller was named one of six model coaches for 2012-13 by the Sac-Joaquin Section.
Miller, a longtime football and softball coach, has seen his teams garner much success. He's been involved in the football program in one way or another since 1968. He was the head coach from 1976-97 and from 2010 to the present. He's been the softball coach since 2000. His softball teams have won two Sac-Joaquin Section championships and he was the state softball coach of the year in 2004.
Miller is involved in several charitable organizations, including the Linden Lions Club, Linden Chamber of Commerce, Linden United Methodist Church, Mended Hearts and the American Heart Association. He also works with No One Dies Alone, where he sits and visits with patients during their last stages of life when no family is present.
Over the years, Miller and Linden High have raised nearly $100,000 benefiting St. Joseph's Medical Heart and Cancer Center and the American Heart Association.
"For Coach Miller, the opportunity to watch his players grow and deal with the constant ups and downs of each season has become a catalyst to teach the notion of teamwork and self-reliance," Linden principal Richard Schmidig said.
Also recognized this year are Kingsley Claudy (Elk Grove-Monterey Trail), Debbie Clemens (Turlock-Pitman), Michael Morris (Rio Linda), Jana Osgood (Modesto-Downey) and Jill Tooker (Loomis-Del Oro).
The award, honoring coaches who are positive role models within the section's schools and the community at-large, is being given for the 12th year. Each of the six model coaches will receive a plaque and a lifetime Sac-Joaquin Section pass at an awards breakfast on April 16, 2013, at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi.

The Robertsville Rams capped off a great season with a 34-14 win over conference rival Rhea Central Middle School.
The Robertsville Rams capped off a great season with a 34-14 win over conference rival Rhea Central Middle School. The Rams finish the season with an 8-1 overall record with their only loss coming in a double overtime thriller against Christian Academy of Knoxville. This team is the first to win a conference championship at Robertsville since 2006. The win over Rhea Central marks an impressive seven game win streak for the Rams football program led by some strong future Wildcats.
"This team has been fun to coach. They battle every game," said RMS head coach Chris Layton. "Even in our one loss, they realize and see how close we were.
'The best part is from that moment on, they learned one important lesson,"coach Layton said. "They learned to develop a hatred for losing. I told them anyone can love to win, that's easy. But it's the guy, who hates to lose that we need. They showed that hatred for losing from that point on and never looked back."
In a game, that saw a dominant first quarter put together by the Rams, who led by the end of the first quarter 20-0. The dominance came from the Rams and their dominate backfield featuring 8th grader Adarius Simpson, who rushed for 103 yards on 12 carries and the game's first score.
"Adarius Simpson is a football player, plain and simple," said coach Layton. "He's tougher than a Waffle House steak. To top it off, he's a leader. You're talking about a guy, who ran for 1,000 yards as a seventh grader and was splitting carries this year with our dynamic duo of backs in seventh grade and he never said a word. He just worked, and performed. That's a leader."
In addition to Simpson, the Rams got another great effort from a pair of seventh graders, Jordan Graham and Tre Jackson. Graham scored the Rams second touchdown with a long run in the second series to make the lead 14-0, after a two point conversion by Simpson. Graham was the second leading rusher with 96 yards on 11 carries.
"Jordan is going to be a special high school football player, it's obvious, but I'm happy as can be he has one more year to be a Ram," coach Layton said. "Every time he touches the ball, you better buckle your seat belt because he'd score on a 300 yard run if the field were that long. He's a special athlete. His quick moves and vision to see the cutback lanes has gotten better every week."
Graham also had an 86 yard touchdown called back right before the half on a procedural penalty.
Graham and Jackson combined to seal the victory in the fourth quarter with two huge plays. On fourth and nine, Graham took to the right edge and seemed stopped, but he reversed field and picked ten yards to keep the drive alive.
Jackson, another running back, had a big night with 12 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns including the game sealing touchdown in the fourth quarter.
"Not only can Tre absolutely fly, but he loves to deliver the blow to someone just for fun," coach Layton said. "Last night he not only decided to take the corner, but he found Rhea Central players to plow as he did it. At one point, I was on the headset and he ran to the far side near the Rhea Central sideline and I heard a boom and I said 'Tre just took a shot' and coach Kevin Angel corrected me and said, 'nope he just delivered one.' Tre is a physical and incredibly fast young man and I expect to see many great things in the future for him as well."
Quarterback Cobe Walls also added a one yard touchdown run to give the Rams a 20-0 lead in the second quarter.
"Cobe Walls had a tremendous season for us running this offense as a captain, as a leader and as a signal caller," the coach said. "Having Cobe on the field in many ways was like having another coach, but one that could run, pretty well and make big time plays when needed."
On the defensive side of the football, the Rams were on a mission. After giving up 20 points and big runs up the middle to Rhea Central a week prior, the Rams seemed set on playing relentless football. The defensive effort was led by eighth grade defensive end, Jayson Colwell, who record 12 tackles.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Rhea Central is still having nightmares about Jayson Colwell," coach Layton said. "At a towering 6 feet, 5 inches, and 205 pounds, he is an imposing force. His football skill and ability is far beyond most players his age and he shows it. It seemed like every time they ran to his side he swallowed the play up."
His effort on the edge combined with the solid play inside by Jack Borchers, Sam McFarland, Luke Bridgeman, Jayven Booker, Tony Miller and Garrett Wilson made the Rams front seven a stalwart to run against. "Our front seven played lights out," the coach said. "They responded from the first time we played this group and you could see it early. Our defensive coordinator, Kevin Angel, put together a game plan to shut down what they like to do and by the second series they were going away from their offense"
Once the Rams flexed their muscle against the run, Rhea Central changed their game plan. As they took to the air, the defense saw more players rise to the occasion including, Graham, Levert Smith, Jacob Ownby, Wilson and Miller.
"As the game plan changed, our defense adjusted led by our linebackers and secondary," the coach said. "They responded big time and in a big way."
Robertsville finishes their season with an 8-1 overall record and an unblemished record in conference play. It is the first championship team at Robertsville since 2006 and the Rams also defend their title as City Champs to make it four years in a row.
"This is a special group and when you combine it with the last few teams over the last few years, Oak Ridge football, being led by Joe Gaddis, is in for some special times," coach Layton said.
"I told the kids last night to enjoy this because it's a special feeling, but don't stop here," he said. "This town needs a gold ball from the state championship game and it's their job to go and get it. I think they along with the groups at Oak Ridge High School right now will."

Less than three months after Jean-Baptiste Queru from Google announced the experimental addition of the Xperia S to the Android Open Source Project, Google has decided not to pursue further development. As it stands now, the AOSP build for the Sony Xperia S is able to boot up with support for 3G data and calling, microSD storage, Wi-Fi, multiple sensors and media playback.
While Google's official involvement in the project has been scaled back in an effort to focus resources on its own hardware, Sony has transplanted the code to its GitHub account, hoping other members of the development community will chip in to keep the project alive.
Check out the video below to get a feel for what Google and Sony have been up to over the past few months.

If a full-fledged garden sounds like too much work, consider scaling back and springing for an herb garden. Find a sunny windowsill, or plant them alongside a bigger plant and enjoy fresh herbs instead of store-bought ones.
The list of herbs to grow includes basil, thyme, rosemary, cilantro, chives, sage and oregano. Assess the spices you cook with most often and go from there. Growing herbs is relatively low-maintenance, takes up minimal space and can save you money.
And growing your own herbs can protect you from the harmful pesticides that have recently been discovered in herbs. According to a 2009 U.S. Department of Agriculture report, more than 90 percent of 184 cilantro samples tested positive for at least one pesticide.
Ashley Giles, manager of garden center Sturtz & Copeland, says that some of the benefits of growing herbs include needing less light and fertilizer because you're only harvesting the leaves, so the plants aren't going the extra mile to flower. That also means that once you plant an herb, you can start harvesting quicker.
One common snag gardeners run into with herbs, says Giles, is their natural instinct to grow.
"It's just in their nature to flower, and typically, the flavor of the leaf changes," Giles says. "You can cut off the flower spike, and that puts it at bay a little bit, but it's not going to last forever."
After an herb flowers, you should consider uprooting and replanting, she says, because to maintain its flower the herb will produce chemicals, forever changing its flavor.
Herbs do require minimal, but constant, upkeep to maintain their taste. Rosemary needs to be harvested frequently, says Julie Hauser, owner of Indigo Landscape Designs, otherwise the plant gets woody.
"The longer you wait, the harder and bitterer the stems get," she says. But Hauser also advises keeping a balance and not harvesting the herb down to the stem.

Praia is Cape Verde's capital and busiest city. Settlements in Praia started in the 1615 which then became capital of the country in the year 1770. The city is located in the southern end of Santiago Island and has year round good weather. The city is divided into various small unofficial districts, the most important ones being, Plateau (city center), Achada Santo Antonio, Palmarejo, Fazenda, Achada Grande, Varzea, Safende, Sucupira(bazaar area), Calbeciera, Terra Branca, Vila Nova, Achadinha, Bairro, Prainha, Monte Vermelho, Achada Mato, Achada Sao Felipe, and other smaller ones. Most part of the city are residential areas, so probably not worth visiting in itself, but worth a half-day exploration if you are passing through to another destination. The center of the city lies on a plateau overlooking the bay to the southeast. The airport lies a few kilometers to the northeast.
Get in
Praia has an international airport. TACV (national flag carrier) and TAP airlines fly to various destinations in Europe, Africa, South America and United States. Taxis from the airport to Plateau cost 500$. After 18:00 the cost is 800$. There is one bus line that serves the airport but it's better to just take a taxi since there is actually only one or two buses that serves this line. You can also enter the city through the port. There are ferry boats that have irregular service to and from the islands of Maio, Boavista, Sal and Sao Nicolau, and more regular and scheduled service to and from Sao Vicente and Fogo.
Get around
The city has countless bus stops, and taxis are everywhere waiting for customers. There are two main bus companies that serve the city, Moura Company and Sol Atlantico. Each route has their own numbers. The main lines are from Safende to Achada Santo Antonio, Vila Nova to Achada Santo Antonio, Calbeceira to Palmarejo, Pensamento to Terra Branca, Achada Grande to Achada Santo Antonio, Sao Felipe to Plateau, Ponta D'Agua to Plateau,Achada Mato to Palmarejo. Most of these lines pass by Plateau (city center), Varzea and Terra Branca, the bus fair is about 35 escudos. When it comes to taxis you should be careful with illegal taxis that sometimes roam around and might rip you off. The normal taxi fare between two furthest points of the city shouldn't be more 1500 escudos in daytime and 1800 escudos at night time, example Pensamento to Palmarejo, or Palmarejo to Achada Mato. Taxi drivers usually expect to get a tip, give around 50 escudos to 100 escudos. Just be careful and always drive with the taxis that have a taximeter, so that they don't overcharge you. The city doesn't really have a good way to navigate because of the lack of an official map. This is because large part of the city doesn't have their names or house numbers yet. In the city center and in the more important parts of the city most streets have names and numbers. However, most people are friendly and will give you directions. Walking by foot between the different districts is not recommended, especially since most of the city's side walks are made out of loose cobblestone and is difficult to walk, also because the city is full of hills that can be tiring to walk. But if you want to have a good cardio-workout try it!

Stay Safe
Being the capital and biggest city of the country, Praia has a bigger crime rate than most parts of the country. Most crimes involve petty thievery and these are mostly focused on actual residents and not on tourist, although there have been a few cases which involved tourist. So Praia is still a very safe city, just be careful with flaunting any expensive jewelry or gadgets like iPhones and such. Cape Verde in the past few years has seen an increase of petty crimes which are done mostly by groups of young people so avoid groups of young men especially at night. Praia is also a badly illuminated city at night, so be careful in places that might not have street lights and is somewhat isolated, always travel in pairs or in groups for safety. However if anything does occur there are police stations in various parts of the city and a general hospital in the city center.

ART ZOYD: Symphonie pour le Jour ou Bruleront les Cites Deux Images de la Cite Imbecile
At long last a reissue of Art Zoyd�s classic album - with about 25 minutes of excellent additional material. When this first came out in 1976, Art Zoyd was a scary, high energy band, playing complex, intricate and very fast compositions for an unusual line-up: bass, guitar, violin, trumpet (the always impressive Jean-Pierre Soarez) and some small percussion. They were filed close to Magma back then, even sometimes opening for the group, though the similarities were mostly attitudinal and technical; Art Zoyd followed their own aesthetic. This CD, however, reproduces the later, also very impressive, 1980 remake, with a much expanded line-up that includes Univers Zero�s Daniel Denis, drums and percussion, Patricia Dallio, keyboards, and Gilles Renard, saxophones. It is a mighty work that has aged well, supplemented here by two long pieces from the same period and 7 short extracts from the theatre music for Don Juan by Gerard Hourbette and Thierry Zaboitzeff. Art Zoyd were one of the 8 original RIO groups.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. - As of early Sunday morning, workers in Port St. Lucie were still recounting ballots in the race for the District 18 house seat between Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West and challenger Democrat Patrick Murphy.
Florida elections officials have until noon on Sunday to file elections certified election results with the state. Candidates can formally contest the election after that.
St. Lucie Circuit Judge Larry Schack denied an emergency motion Saturday by Democrat Patrick Murphy's campaign to halt the count, which they say is illegal.
Schack said that if a candidate is unhappy with the ultimate vote count, the law gives them the option of formally contesting the election once it's certified next week.
Election workers are processing thousands of early votes in the contest, of which Murphy is the unofficial winner by about 1,900 votes.

There's a special name for you if you've been looking for work for so long that you've given up; the Bureau of Labor Statistics calls you the "marginally disenfranchised."
There's a special name for you if you've been looking for work for so long that you've given up.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics calls you the "marginally disenfranchised." Last month 835,000 discouraged workers believed there were no jobs available for them. Imagine sitting in a packed football stadium and you and every spectator is unemployed "� and there are 10 of these stadiums around the country. It is not true that misery loves company. There's no solace in knowing you're not alone dealing with this psychological and financial dilemma.
Sense of meaning
Self-actualization is at the top of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Human beings need a sense of meaning for their lives to fell fulfilled. Engaging in rewarding work is one way to meet this need. Having a purpose, answering your calling, making a difference, creating and engaging in the world of work are essential to your well-being. Now is the time to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and drag yourself (kicking and screaming if necessary) back into the search. It's never too late to start again. Here's a plan for rebooting and regenerating:
Let the pros give you a hand getting started. Call the Career One Stop center at CareerLink of Monroe County in Tannersville at 570-620-2850 for a career counseling appointment. Check out their website atcwds.state.pa.us to see the range of services they offer.
Sharpen your skills, or learn something new. It's time to get that brain dusted off and humming along again. Sign up with Alison.com where you'll find "A New World of Free Certified Learning." You can improve your office skills, learn how to use Google Docs or PowerPoint, and even earn a diploma in social media marketing.
If you don't have a computer, bring your ID and a utility bill or other mail addressed to you (for proof of residency) to the library and get a free library card. The library has computers available for you to use for study. (Main branch Hughes Library 570-421-0800.) While you're there, read "Get the Job You Want Even When No One's Hiring" by Ford R. Myers or "How to Get a Great Job in Ninety Days or Less" by Joe Carroll.
Get out and socialize
Reconnect with people in the business world or participate in something fun. It's important to get out and socialize. Back at the library, ask the reference librarian for the Encyclopedia of Associations published by Gale Research Inc. and meet people in your field of interest. Start a book group; join Meetup (www.meetup.com); get involved with a political campaign; sing in a choir; or join a cooking club. Networking is a powerful tool — and it's good for the soul to have fun with friends at the same time.
Shore yourself up with tools that support your venture and encourage you to persevere.

Redskins raising funds for Susan G Komen West Michigan
The players on the Saranac boys basketball team will be once again sporting their pink accessories tonight during their game against Pewamo-Westphalia.
The Redskins will be holding their annual Pink Out game for breast cancer awareness at Saranac High School to raise funds for the Susan G Komen West Michigan.
Fund raising events this year include a T-shirt sale, a silent action for a hand-made quilt and a half-court shot, that will take place during halftime of both the JV and varsity games.
The quilt for action was hand made by Saranac Schools employee Kathy Cole.
Other activities that have taken place leading up to Friday night's event were a movie night in the Saranac High School Auditorium and a penny war between the different classes at the junior/senior high.
"It's always nice to see the community come together to help raise money to help find a cure for breast cancer as we have several people in the community who have been affected by it," Pink Out chairperson Mandy Mutschler said. "It's an honor to work with the students to help them make this event a little bigger and better each year. They put in a lot of hours to get the sponsors, make the advertising ribbons, sell shirts and then decorate the night of the event."
The committee has already gotten off to a strong start in their fund-raising efforts, selling over 150 T-shirts, designed by Saranac student Jenna Tryon-Mueller. Shirts will be on sale at the game as well.
Saranac varsity boys basketball coach Carmen Brown said her players and herself always look forward to the event and being able to support the community.
"It's something we want to do to recognize those community members and their family that have been through battles with cancer," she said. "The guys are ready to come out and give everything they've got to support the cause."
The goal this year for the Pink out committee is to exceed last year's donation of $3,500 to Susan G. Komen West Michigan.
Mutschler said seeing the support of the community and the amount of time and money they give every year is overwhelming.
"The most rewarding part of the night is to see all the pink and the large crowd gathered to support something true and dear to my heart, as well as seeing the students fulfilling their obligation to make this a success," she said. "I had a grandmother and aunt who had breast cancer, so the event is really personal for me.
As the chairperson of Pink Out for three years, the financial support form the community and the time the students give to make the event successful never ceases to amaze me."
The night will begin with the JV Redskins game against the JV Pirates at 6 p.m. The varsity game will follow.

Sixty million over four years got it done for Derek Lowe with the Braves. The Mets were a year and $24 million short. Oliver Perez, who should feel unwanted right about now, wants four years and the Mets are at three.
Ben Sheets is still out there, injured arm and all. So are Pedro Martinez and Randy Wolf. Whatever the signing, it has been a disappointing winter for the Mets regarding their starting pitching.
The Mets entered the offseason wanting to address their bullpen, but that includes getting starters capable of eating innings. It is not unfair to attach questions to four of the five starters after Johan Santana.
Mike Pelfrey: Will he continue to progress or hit a wall, which often happens in a pitcher's development.
John Maine: Coming off surgery.
Tim Redding: A .500 pitcher last year with a lifetime losing record. OK, for a fifth starter, but the expectations could rise.
Fifth starter: To be determined. Jon Niese will compete. Bringing back Martinez might have to be the plan.

Sublime Text Build 3007 is out now, correcting some issues with the initial beta.
There are still some reported issues that remain outstanding, these will be investigated for the next build. Notably the Linux compatibility issues with older distributions remain unresolved for the moment.
Thanks for all the hard work, 1 day for a handful of fixes. Who can complain (that's a bad question because I'm sure people can/will)? As a side note, have you considered leveraging a formal issue tracker (perhaps on github since most people already have accounts there, though I don't know if they have any restrictions around not hosting the actual project there but I would guess not)? The the boards work okay for reporting and tracking issues, I would think a formalized system may work better. It would keep repeats from appearing, or at a minimum, save the time of browsing through the Build 3006 thread to see what has been reported.
Anyways, just thought I would throw it out there. Thanks again for all the hard work!
Just installed new version. And the same bug(or not?) appeared: Project switching window(on Ctrl+Alt+P) is empty and it isn't showing recent projects.
UPD. It works fine if I manually switch between projects(not "Quick switch project"). After that project can be switched to/from in "Quick switch project" window
bug (OSX): when launching ST when there's a window open from the previous session and the sidebar is hidden, ST will animate the sidebar in, then quickly close it only half way. Looks like it's just an animation bug where 2 animations are running at the same time instead of canceling the first animation.
bug: "Open all with current extension as..." doesn't work.
Hi jps,
I'll provide you the best suggestion of today:
Goto Symbol in Project is the most important new function to me, and why not let "Ctrl+Click" automatically do Goto Symbol in Project? That way, navigating through code will be a breeze.
Should be easy to implement, since it's just grabbing the clicked symbol and emulating "Ctrl+Shift+R, Enter" on it. If there's just one hit, go there, else show the symbol matching list.
Thanks in advance
First off, thanks for releasing Sublime Text 3!
I've found an issue while fixing symbol indexing in Sublime-Erlang:Sublime Text will crash on startup when the type of a value in a tmPreferences file doesn't match the expected type.Example tmPreferences:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<string>Function Symbols</string>
<integer>s/^/Function: /</integer> <!-- <<<< note: integer -->
Also, it would be really nice if you supported variable substitution (e.g. ${filepath/...}) in the symbol transform expression.
Update:Here's a crash report for the plist issue: pastebin.com/YLJv0S98The crash doesn't go away when I change it back to because the Sublime Text process stays running in the background.Trying to start a new one produces this crash: http://pastebin.com/FbA7h0WeIt starts again when I kill the corrupted instance.
I'd second this suggestion. It's possible to emulate this feature (at least, it worked in ST2), but the implementation is really cumbersome.
Congrats on the new release. Very nice!
The behaviour which annoys me on a daily basis still exists. To reproduce:
Open sublime. Make the layout two columns and put an empty file in each column.
In the first column type "hello", in the second type "there".
First try single clicking on "hello", then on "there". Notice how the focus and cursor changes between the views as expected.
Now select "hello" with the mouse or by double clicking. Then click on "there". The focus changes which is good. Now click back on "hello". The cursor remains on "there". Why?
I don't know if this is new since 3007 and if someone already pointed this out but the .deb installation on Ubuntu 12.10 gives an error.I can install it though but it gives an error saying:
The package doesn't provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20.
So I hope this helps for future .deb packages.
Seeing intermittent CPU spikes on OSX 10.8.2, with the top process reporting as "mds". Then after the fans kick on for a few seconds, it eases up again.
mds is the spotlight indexing service (for the magnifying glass in the top right of your screen). It should have nothing to do with Sublime Text.
As a followup, I just had several (5) processes named "Sublime Text" which were stalling my system due to CPU usage. Only when I quit Sublime did the system return to normal.
EDIT: and while sublime was open, I saved a PSD file into the same base directory open in the Sublime sidebar. Perhaps it was trying to index a 1.4 meg PSD for goto-definition.
Hi, this bug is still present in build 3007:
...if have removed the "$" from my "word_separators" setting for PHP programming.
CMD-D now also selects the "$" when used on variables. However, pressing CMD-D again does not select the next instance of that variable anymore. If I select that variable via mouse, CMD-D (repeat) works as expected.
Congrats on getting ST3 into the wild!
A couple issues I've run across while updating a couple ST2 plugins:
I have an EventListener plugin that tries to keep the status bar updated to show the line ending type and encoding for the active view. It listens for these callbacks: ('on_modified', 'on_load', 'on_post_save'). In ST2, that was enough to get the status bar to be updated on first startup, but not in ST3 (I need to modify a buffer before the status bar updates). Is there something else I should be doing, or is this a regression? (code here, if it's useful: github.com/johnburnett/sublime- ... tus_bar.py)
In ST2, I have the side bar both turned on and set to show open files. Starting from an empty session, if I add a folder to the side bar, expanded it, and then double click on a file contained in the folder, I open the file I double clicked on. However, when I do the same thing in ST3, I open the file above the file I double click on. It appears this happens because of the new "Previewing files from the sidebar creates a preview tab" feature. The first click adds the to-be-previewed file to the file list at the top of the sidebar, and moves all the files down a line, so the second click then hits a different file, opening that one instead.
One more: sublime.version() seems to return an empty string when a plugin is loading. e.g. throw this in a py file:
import sublime
print('version is empty?', sublime.version() == '')
...however, sublime.version() correctly gives me '3007' when run from the console.
One more for the night, promise... settings.get doesn't seem to return correct values when a plugin is loading. Paste the following into a test py plugin file:
import sublime
settings_base = sublime.load_settings('Preferences.sublime-settings')
print('color_scheme is:', settings_base.get('color_scheme', 'no color scheme'))
...and regardless of whether you have color_scheme set in your Preferences, this will print "color_scheme is: None".
@jburnett viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10780&start=40#p42444
It's tricky. I have an internal bug tracking system, but it's not suitable for public consumption, as it contains forward looking data that I'm not willing to publish, due to it inevitably being interpreted incorrectly. The alternative is having two separate bug tracking systems, but that has its own issues.

India need to pull themselves up against buoyant England
Kolkata - India need to get their act together in the third cricket Test beginning here Wednesday to overwhelm a spirited England, who have challenged the hosts' traditional strengths – spin domination and home series invincibility.
With the four-match series now level 1-1, the game at the iconic Eden Gardens is crucial as the winner would get an unassailable lead in the rubber.
Having never lost a home series in the last eight years since going down to Australia 1-2 in 2004, India seemed on course to retain their reputation when the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha plotted England's submission in the opening match at Ahmedabad. It also raised hopes of India avenging the 0-4 drubbing they received in the away series against England last year.
But the 10-wicket humiliation at Wankhede has completely reversed the script.
Not only did the English batsmen, particularly skipper Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen, sort out the Indian spinners, the English slow bowlers Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann showed their superiority. Swann, arguably the world's best off-spinner now, and Panesar between themselves skittled 19 Indian wickets, making a mockery of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's bid to exploit the so-called home advantage on a square turner.
Dhoni, however, defended his standpoint.
"It is not about whether you lose or win a game, it is about playing in conditions according to your strength. That is what home advantage is all about," he said at the pre-match media meet, days after his demand for another turner triggered a controversy with the Eden curator hitting out at him.
That apart, things definitely are not going well for India's captain Cool. Besides the Mumbai loss, India's pathetic display on foreign soil (losing 0-4 to both England and Australia) since last year, has put his captaincy under the scanner. As former skipper Sourav Ganguly pointed out the other day, if India lose at Eden, "there will be lot of changes in Indian cricket".
Dhoni's performance with the bat has also not gone unnoticed. And by notching up a paltry 40 in the three innings of the first two Tests, he has only courted more criticism.
Talking about the other Indian batsmen, Sachin Tendulkar, the only surviving player of the golden generation, has looked a mere passenger in the team.
Now in the twilight of his career, the Mumbaikar has spent the last 23 months and 28 innings in the crease without a single three-figure knock in the longest format.
It is time the maestro returns among runs, for otherwise, the already increasing queue of critics asking for his retirement plans is bound to increase. And Aussie great Ricky Ponting's decision to call time on his career is bound to add to the pressure.
Another worry is Gautam Gambhir, who has not scored a hundred in the last 44 Test innings, though he got a fine 65 in trying circumstances in the second innings of Mumbai Test.
Though Dhoni did not announce the playing XI, there is a strong chance of pacer Ishant Sharma replacing the off-colour Harbhajan Singh, who is also down with flu and skipped practice Tuesday. Local pacer Ashok Dinda is also in the reckoning.
For England, who last won a series in India 28 years back in 1984, the Mumbai triumph has come as a big boost.
Cook and Pietersen have struck form, and would be looking to maintain the momentum at the Eden. Seasoned campaigner Ian Bell – who opted out of the Mumbai match and flew to England for the birth of his child – is also back, and could replace Jonathan Bairstow.
With pacer Stuart Broad going wicketless so far in the series, Cook hinted at playing the fit-from-injury Steve Finn.
"With his availability Finn has added competition to the squad," said Cook.
Head to head, India have a 3-1 win-loss record against England at the venue, where the two sides first played in 1934. The tourists' only success came in 1977.
The pitch, which has been the centre of much debate, seemed to have a tinge of grass as on Tuesday.
Dhoni and Cook both said said it would be helpful for the pacers at the start with the spinners getting purchase only in the latter stages of the game.
Teams (from):
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Murali Vijay, Ashok Dinda.
England: Alastair Cook (captain), Nick Compton, Joe Root, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior, Jonny Bairstow, Samit Patel, Graeme Swann, Monty Panesar, James Anderson, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn, Graham Onions, Stuart Meaker, James Tredwell.
Umpires: Rod Tucker (Australia), Kumara Dharmasena (Sri Lanka)
Match timings: 9 am-11 am; 11-40 am-1-40 pm; 2 pm to 4 pm.

Overman Tabbed As Next Super
NEW BREMEN — Middle School Principal Howard Overman was named the new superintendent for the New Bremen Local School District Wednesday night, effective Aug. 1.
"We're really happy to announce that Mr. Howard Overman will be our next superintendent," Board of Education President Kami Fox said at the board's meeting Wednesday night. "We are very excited about having him do that. Howard (Overman) has been a very loyal employee and advocate for New Bremen schools, and we're excited. We think it's a great move for the district."
Before the regular meeting, the board welcomed newly elected Scott Bertke and returning member Fox with a swearing in ceremony. Fox and Keith Bornhorst were named board president and vice president, respectively.
Board members also heard a report from kindergarten teachers Donna Schmitmeyer and Debbie Miller about the possibility of switching to all day, everyday kindergarten.
"Young children learn better in smaller chunks and repetition, and we feel we're not able to do that with two full days and a half day per week," Miller said. "We feel like we have enough time to present and then we have to move on to the next thing."
Miller noted that all day, everyday kindergarten would also give students more time to develop social skills and time to get into deep learning. Schmitmeyer said the switch would give teachers more time for hands on learning and for informative assessment.
She noted most students attend preschool before kindergarten and are ready for the switch to a full day. The extra time, she added, would allow teachers to challenge the students that are ahead of their classmates.
"They come to us with a wide range of abilities," Schmitmeyer said. "Most of the children who have attended preschool are writing their names and some of them are ready to read as parents have progressed with them. Unfortunately not everyone does that, and we have some come in that have really never held a pencil. Those are few, but they take a tremendous amount of time."
Elementary Principal Diane Kramer said she has witnessed the success of an all day, everyday kindergarten program.
"I was so impressed with where those kindergarteners came in and where they left after being in an all day, everyday kindergarten," Kramer said. "Students who were reading were reading easy chapter books and it's because — those kids weren't any brighter than the kids we have here — they had the time, they were at school all day, every day."
Board members will further discuss the possibility and vote on an all day, everyday kindergarten program and next month's regular meeting.
Board members also heard an update on the possible building project from Freytag & Associates. New drawings were presented to the board, showcasing an updated floor plan for the building.
"There have been a couple updates, since we've had numerous meetings with the building committee and talking with the staff," Dan Freytag, of Freytag & Associates, said. "Things keep changing. It's evolving as we get more information."
He noted special education rooms were increased in size and small group rooms were added for use in the library or for special education.
"They may shift around," he said. "If it passes, then we've got a lot things to do in maneuvering things around. I just wanted to point out that we're finding some opportunities and we've gained some space, so we could still have our extended learning area and also some smaller group spaces."
The potential floor plans will be on display in the high school and the elementary school late next week for the public to view.
In other business, board members:
• Approved the consent agenda for the organizational meeting.
• Approved the Dec. 17 regular meeting minutes, the Dec. 28 special meeting minutes and the Dec. 28 building committee minutes.
• Approved the general fund paid bills and the lunchroom fund paid bills.
• Approved an anonymous donation of $100,000 for technology needs.
• Approved the creation of a Race to the Top — My Voice fund for an additional grant with appropriation and revenue estimates of $5,355.
• Approved an increase in the Education Jobs Fund appropriations and revenue estimates by $5,186.55 to $198,419.58.
The next regular meeting of the New Bremen Board of Education will be held at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 15.

Ed Murray, Mayor
SUBJECT: City seeks rehearing of Yellow Pages case
Kimberly Mills (206) 684-8602
The City has asked the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to hear en banc the suit brought by Yellow Pages and other companies against the opt-out registry approved by the City Council in 2010.
Last month a three-judge panel ruled against the City, saying it could not force Yellow Pages and other companies to fund the op-out registry because Yellow Pages are not commercial speech, but rather have full First Amendment protection like newspapers.
The City's rehearing petition will be granted if 15 of the 28 active judges of the Ninth Circuit appeals court vote in favor.
In its petition, the City asserts that "The conclusion that Yellow Pages are not commercial speech is contrary to the long-standing law of the Supreme Court, this Court and sister circuits requiring that hybrid speech be regulated as commercial speech unless the two types of speech are actually 'inextricably intertwined.' "
Also, the petition says: "Federal, state, and local governments have legitimate interests in regulating abusive business practices and have enacted numerous restrictions protecting consumers from unwanted solicitation. The panel's decision provides a ready blueprint for commercial entities to evade those legitimate restrictions."
More than 79,000 residents and businesses have opted out under the program operated by Seattle Public Utilities.

Registered nurses usually take one of three education paths: a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing (BSN), an associate's degree in nursing (ADN), or a diploma from an approved nursing program. Registered nurses also must be licensed.Education
In all nursing education programs, students take courses in anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, nutrition, psychology, and other social and behavioral sciences, as well as in liberal arts. BSN programs typically take 4 years to complete; ADN and diploma programs usually take 2 to 3 years to complete. All programs include supervised clinical experience.
Bachelor's degree programs usually include additional education in the physical and social sciences, communication, leadership, and critical thinking. These programs also offer more clinical experience in nonhospital settings. A bachelor's degree or higher is often necessary for administrative positions, research, consulting, and teaching.
Generally, licensed graduates of any of the three types of education programs (bachelor's, associate's, or diploma) qualify for entry-level positions as a staff nurse. However, employers—particularly those in hospitals—may require a bachelor's degree.
Many registered nurses with an ADN or diploma choose to go back to school to earn a bachelor's degree through an RN-to-BSN program. There are also master's degree programs in nursing, combined bachelor's and master's programs, and accelerated programs for those who wish to enter the nursing profession and already hold a bachelor's degree in another field. Some employers offer tuition reimbursement.
Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) must earn a master's degree in nursing and typically already have 1 or more years of work experience as an RN or in a related field. CNSs who conduct research typically need a doctoral degree.Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations
In all states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, registered nurses must have a nursing license. To become licensed, nurses must graduate from an approved nursing program and pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).
Other requirements for licensing vary by state. Each state's board of nursing can give details. For more information on the NCLEX-RN and a list of state boards of nursing, visit the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Nurses may become certified through professional associations in specific areas, such as ambulatory care, gerontology, and pediatrics, among others. Although certification is usually voluntary, it demonstrates adherence to a higher standard, and some employers require it.
CNSs must satisfy additional state licensing requirements, such as earning specialty certifications. Contact state boards of nursing for specific requirements.Important Qualities
Critical-thinking skills. Registered nurses must be able to assess changes in the health status of patients, including determining when to take corrective action and when to make referrals.
Communication skills. Registered nurses must be able to communicate effectively with patients in order to understand their concerns and assess their health conditions. Nurses need to explain instructions, such as how to take medication, clearly. They must be able to work in teams with other health professionals and communicate the patients' needs.
Compassion. Registered nurses should be caring and empathetic when caring for patients.
Detail oriented. Registered nurses must be responsible and detail oriented because they must make sure that patients get the correct treatments and medicines at the right time.
Emotional stability. Registered nurses need emotional resilience and the ability to manage their emotions to cope with human suffering, emergencies, and other stresses.
Organizational skills. Nurses often work with multiple patients with various health needs. Organizational skills are critical to ensure that each patient is given appropriate care.
Physical stamina. Nurses should be comfortable performing physical tasks, such as moving patients. They may be on their feet for most of their shift.Advancement
Most registered nurses begin as staff nurses in hospitals or community health settings. With experience, good performance, and continuous education, they can move to other settings or be promoted to positions with more responsibility.
In management, nurses can advance from assistant clinical nurse manager, charge nurse, or head nurse to more senior-level administrative roles, such as assistant director or director of nursing, vice president of nursing, or chief nursing officer. Increasingly, management-level nursing positions are requiring a graduate degree in nursing or health services administration. Administrative positions require leadership, communication skills, negotiation skills, and good judgment.
Some nurses move into the business side of healthcare. Their nursing expertise and experience on a healthcare team equip them to manage ambulatory, acute, home-based, and chronic care businesses. Employers—including hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and managed care organizations, among others—need registered nurses for jobs in health planning and development, marketing, consulting, policy development, and quality assurance.
Some RNs choose to become nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, or nurse practitioners, which, along with clinical nurse specialists, are types of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). APRNs may provide primary and specialty care, and in many states they may prescribe medications.
Other nurses work as postsecondary teachers in colleges and universities.

It's Jets week. That means something for Dolphins and Jets fans. And as this if the first time in a couple of years that the Dolphins and Jets meet with both teams still having hopes of doing something this season, this is the biggest Dolphins versus Jets game in a while.
My pick?
Darrelle Revis.
That's what this game will boil down to, in my opinion. Darrelle Revis.
The Jets cornerback missed last week's New York loss to Pittsburgh because he had not been cleared to play following a concussion the week before. Although he has reported progress, his status for Sunday against the Dolphins is uncertain at this moment.
I believe if he misses the game, the Jets lose.
I believe if he's 100 percent and plays, the Jets win.
Simple as that.
With Revis, the Jets can do something that can cripple the Miami offense. And it's hard to win a football game without an offense. With Revis, the Jets can basically game plan to erase Brian Hartline from the Miami offense.
Hartline has emerged as Miami's only legitimate threat at wide receiver. He has caught 12 passes for for 161 yards so far this season. He is gaining a reputation not only as a threat, but a downfield threat that merit rolled coverages and in many cases double coverage.
And that's how the Jets would probably have to deal with Hartline if Revis sits out. But if Revis plays, he checks Hartline and that's it. He's on Hartline and, with respect the Miami receiver, he's erased. End of story. Revis is that good.
With Hartline out of the picture, the Jets can then pool the rest of their defensive resources to stopping the Miami running game that shredded the Raiders for 243 yards last week. If Revis is checking Hartline man-to-man, the Jets can stack the box on runs and blitz as they often do with relative confidence that some other Dolphins receiver won't take them deep.
Without Revis, the Jets aren't assured of either checking Hartline, cannot blitz with impunity, and their commitment to stopping the run cannot be as sold out as it could be otherwise, thus affecting their run defense.
Revis is a future Hall of Fame candidate. He's simply the best cornerback in the game today.
And his presence or absence Sunday could be the difference between victory or defeat for these teams.
