SanDisk Corp., a leading supplier of various flash-based products, has unveiled a new family of solid-state drives (SSDs) that do not offer unprecedented performance, but boast with relatively affordable price and are likely to be broadly available. The company hopes that G3-series SSDs will finally drive flash-based storage into mainstream systems.
SanDisk's C25-G3 and C18-G3 solid state drives – in 2.5" and 1.8" form-factors – will be available in 60GB, 120GB and 240GB capacities and will offer 200MB/s linear read speed as well as 140MB/s linear write speed. The new SSDs are based on multi-level cell (MLC) flash.
While performance levels of SanDisk's G3-series are dramatically higher compared to hard disk drives (HDDs), they are hardly impressive compared to latest solid state drives by other manufacturers. What is noteworthy is that SanDisk has set manufacturer's suggested retail prices of its 60GB, 120GB and 240GB units at $149, $249 and $499, respectively.
"SanDisk's G3 SSD has met the demand of a 120GB SSD at less than $250 with an exceptional user experience. Three key features developed by SanDisk enable this new design: a new SSD algorithm called ExtremeFFS allows random write performance to potentially improve by as much as 100 times over conventional algorithms; reliable 43nm multi-level cell (MLC) all bit-line (ABL) NAND flash; and SanDisk's new SSD controller, which ties together the NAND and the algorithm," said Rich Heye, senior vice president and general manager of solid state drives (SSD) business unit at SanDisk.
With relatively affordable pricing, SanDisk expects SSDs to become more popular in mainstream notebooks.
"With large capacities and aggressive pricing, SSDs are poised to enter mainstream corporate notebooks in 2009," said Mr. Heye.
The SanDisk G3 SSDs will be available in mid-2009 with Serial ATA and Parallel ATA interfaces. In addition, the SanDisk G3 SSDs will be available on sandisk.com for do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicts weaker profitability for global airlines as crisis in the Eurozone and a potential global recession are depressing the outlook.

The study analyzes the benefits of these camps and the programs' effectiveness in improving the quality of life for camp participants. The literature review emphasizes that social support for young adult cancer survivors is very important, specifically for psychosocial rehabilitation. The social support young adult cancer survivors find at camp through the use of camp programs can be extremely beneficial. The research addresses the gap in the literature as to what programs are effective and engaging for young adult cancer survivors. This research consists of document analysis of peer-reviewed articles which survey young adult cancer survivors to determine their resource needs, reflective journals about camp participants engagement in programs collected in my role as a program facilitator, interviews of camp administrators as key experts in the field and an online survey of young adult cancer survivors about camp programming and its effectiveness. en_US A Master's project presented to the Arts & Administration Program of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Arts Management; rights_reserved Cancer camps Cancer -- Patients Young adult cancer Oncology camps Young adult cancer resources Psychosocial support oncology Young cancer survivors Art program oncology Cancer Survivor Camps: Programming for Young Adult Cancer Survivors Other

PRINCESS ANNE, MD-May 10, 2010-Two African-American celebrities and two champions of progress in Africa will receive honorary degrees at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's 123rd annual spring commencement on Friday, May 21, at 10 a.m. in the William P. Hytche Athletic Center.
In addition to giving the commencement address, Cicely Tyson will receive the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters during UMES' commencement exercises. Among her many accolades, Tyson has won three Emmy awards, one for her performance in "The Oldest Confederate Widow Tells All" and two for her performance in "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for role in "Sounder." Her Emmy for "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," distinguished her as the first African-American actress to receive the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress, a coveted award.
Tyson remains one of only seven African-American actresses to date to receive the nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. For her civic efforts, Tyson has been recognized at Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball and will receive the NAACP's highest honor, the Spingarn Medal in July.
Clarence Clemons, saxophonist of nearly 40 years, 30 of which have been with the legendary Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, will receive the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters for his exceptional contributions to American music. Clemons' artistic touch has reached beyond the E Street Band. In the 80s, he recorded and toured with his own band, Clarence Clemons and the Red Bank Rockers, and recorded the first of several solo albums. He has also loaned his distinct style to the recordings of Joe Cocker, Janis Ian and Nils Lofgren. Best known are his 1985 work on the hit singles "You're a Friend of Mine" with Jackson Browne and "Freeway of Love" with Aretha Franklin. Clemons is an actor and has appeared in television series and played multiple roles on the big screen.
Clemons, a former Maryland State College (UMES) student, is known to his fans as "the Big Man." He has recently penned his memoir, "Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales." President Bill Clinton's review read: "Big Man relives Clemons' story in a unique personal narrative that's bound in both history and folklore."
Catherine Watkins' career has spanned 44 years at the USDA. She has provided leadership in the support of a number of major international agricultural developing programs and three Presidential Initiatives, namely, President Obama's 2009 Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative and President Bush's African Education Initiative and Initiative to End Hunger in Africa. She will receive the Honorary Doctor of Science degree.
Prior to her recent retirement, she served as the program management liaison for the USDA, Foreign Agriculture Services, Office of Capacity Building and Development. She initiated a program that established cooperative agreements between 1890 Land Grant Universities and the USDA/USAID. These agreements opened the pathway for the universities to partner with the USDA and USAID in implementing foreign assistance activities. Under the program, UMES has successfully competed and received over $15 million in grants from USDA.
Dr. Francis Kofi Ampenyin Allotey, a mathematical physicist, will receive the Honorary Doctor of Science. The first African full professor in mathematical sciences in Ghana, 1973, Allotey has served in various academic positions of increasing responsibility at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Since 1995, he has been the director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences there. Educated at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London and Princeton University, he was the first to introduce the theory of electron-hole scattering resonances effect on soft x-ray spectroscopy in metals. He is the co-author of the book "Nuclear Weapons-Report of the UN Secretary-General," 1980.
Allotey has organized and directed several workshops and conferences at national and international levels on mathematical sciences, physical sciences, energy, information and communication technology. He is the founder and coordinator of the Ghana Energy Research Group and has been appointed to various commissions in his native country. At the international level, he is a member of the UNESCO Physics Action Council; the Scientific Council for the International Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physics in the U.S.; the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy; the International Scientific Advisory Council, Molecular Frontier Foundation in Sweden; and the International Atomic Energy Agency in Austria.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (815 votes).
In short: There is a hill - a BIG hill - around the 7-8 mile mark. You will go up it twice if going for full marathon! (Adjust your pace accordingly!)Date of review: February 9, 2005
In short: mistakenly assumed that the course was reasonably flat, if there is a flat section longer than 50 metres I will eat my shorts. Soul destroying finish where you have to run past the finish line and then double back to itDate of review: December 16, 2004
In short: 2004 runner - yes definately spoilt by the heat which the organisers could not control In full: This was a good event but as with all marathons when you run along side half marathon runners, the first half is torment knowing that there is the option to quit at 13.1 miles!! I felt that an earlier start would have helped the heat problem definately. 9.00 a.m. usually cooler than 1.00p.m. on a warm day.Date of review: December 5, 2004
In short: Lets you know that you ran 13 miles. I would not do the Full marathon, to many hillsDate of review: November 29, 2004
In short: Actually 2004In full: A well organised race. Course hilly/undulating in places. Main problem was the heat, which the organisers can't control. However, the 1 pm start is a major negativeDate of review: October 21, 2004

"Teaware Stars" of the TeaDay ... Kenji Kyusu, Hagi SO Biwa Wan by Deishi, and of course the tea, mystery sencha.
"Best supporting Teawares" of the day ... these pieces always take a back seat to the top three stars, but they enhance the experience greatly!
The Chataku (saucer) is "Kamakura."
The Natsume is a beautiful vintage unpolished Sakura bark (I use this to hold the single serving of tea leaves, though Natsume are usually for holding the matcha for Japanese Tea Ceremony).
The Yuzamashi is likely the piece I use more than any ... just a no name and mass produced piece, though I like the iron spots as I know where 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ounces are by the spots.
The Kyusu tray is more likely a sweet tray ... again for Japanese Tea Ceremony.
I like to improv if I like the pieces!
... and the "stage crew" is out of the limelight entirely ... to the right of the Teatable ... like my right hand men!
It all comes together in a pleasing way for not only me, but my "guest" as well.

Tiger, at the risk of sounding nasty, that's absurd.
Paul was in TOTAL control of Wings. They were, for all intents and purposes, his sidemen. Do you REALLY think Denny Laine got final say on ANYTHING in that band, never mind Denny Seiwell, Henry McCullogh, or Jimmy McCulloch?
The Beatles were a democratic group. Right down to financial shares. Ringo had as much say, from what I've read (and I've read plenty), as John or George or Paul on MOST things. He just didn't happen to write songs or sing many. George was frustrated, sure, but he sure as hell had his say and his influence (India, Indian music, etc.). Can you imagine Joe English saying one day, "let's all go to Norway and study their fishing techniques!" and Paul dropping everything in, calling a press conference, and telling the world that, yes, he and the rest of Wings will be traveling to Norway, based on Joe English's words of wisdom, to search for "the way!"
Ringo and George both LEFT the band at various points, and were welcomed back with open arms and flower arrangements.
When Denny Seiwell and Henry decided not to go to Africa to record BOTR, that was the end of those two.
Hell, it's taken years for Paul to even acknowledge Denny Laine over who knows what slight that occurred over 30 years ago. Do you think that would have happened with any of the other Beatles?
Please. Let's not compare apples and oranges.

High-performing charter management organizations spend more per student at the school level, using some of that money to fund a more teachers per student, writes James Peyser of New Schools Venture Fund in Education Next. The high flyers also invest more in recruiting and developing talented teachers and "building instructional support systems that are grounded in the use of performance data."
. . . the most successful organizations strive to create enthusiasm for learning and an expectation of college success for all, with a commitment to hard work and persistence in the face of initial failures or setbacks. They have adopted standards-based curricula, with an intensive focus on literacy and numeracy as the first foundation for academic achievement, which typically manifests itself in extra time for reading and math each day and a relatively heavy reliance on direct instruction and differentiated grouping, especially in the early grades. And they are increasingly focused on developing and deploying comprehensive student assessment and coaching systems to ensure more effective and consistent classroom practice, not just from year to year but during the course of each school year.
The five highest-performing CMOs in NewSchools' portfolio operate 85 schools with more than 28,000 students. Their low-income students have proficiency rates that are more than 25 percentage points higher than those in their local districts.
On average, NewSchools' CMOs score 9 points higher on reading and math proficiency than district schools, 12 points higher when low-income students are compared and 14 points higher comparing schools open five years or more.
Critics often suggest that superior performance in the charter sector is a result of high levels of attrition, caused by implicit or explicit efforts on the part of school staff to "counsel out" the students who are hardest to educate. Excluding students who move away, our data show average attrition rates of about 12 percent, compared to many schools in high-poverty urban neighborhoods that have annual attrition rates of close to one-third. Interestingly, the highest performers in our portfolio have below-average attrition rates of approximately 9 percent, while the lowest performers have above-average attrition rates of close to 20 percent.
NewSchools CMO students are more likely to graduate from high school than other low-income, minority students and much more likely to enroll in college, Peyser writes.

Bill Blaikie Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of Donald Cameron MacDonald, former leader of the Ontario CCF and Ontario NDP, who died on Saturday, March 8, at the age of 94.
Donald was often called the best premier Ontario never had. During his 27 years in the legislature, he established a reputation for a principled pragmatic opposition from the political left that New Democrats remember with gratitude and admiration, and which Canada as a country acknowledged when he received the Order of Canada in 2003.
Donald, who served with the Royal Canadian Navy in World War II, was one of the leaders in that generation who, having went through the dirty thirties and the war, emerged with a terrific determination to build a better world. He helped create the kind of Canada that most Canadians not only value but regard as crucial to our self-understanding. I know I speak for many when I offer thanks for a wonderful life, a happy warrior whose hope for social justice inspired all who knew him, myself included.
I offer my sincere condolences to his wife, Simone, and to all his family, and appreciation for a long life, well lived.
WinterLights Celebrations

Colin Mayes Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, WinterLights Celebrations is a national program encouraging municipalities, large and small, throughout Canada to celebrate light with decorative, cultural and spiritual programs with the objective of creating attractions for tourism from within Canada and abroad.
Launched in 2001 with the support of the Canadian Tourism Commission, WinterLights Celebrations is a winter edition of Communities in Bloom. The program encourages communities to showcase winter activities, festive celebrations and visual decorations that promote Canada's appeal as a winter tourism destination and improve the quality of life in communities across the country.
The results of the 2007-08 edition were announced in Saint John, New Brunswick on Saturday, February 9 during the course of the annual WinterLights Celebrations symposium and awards ceremony.
In recognition of its Christmas fair presentation, my congratulations go out to the city of Armstrong in my riding of Okanagan—Shuswap in receiving a five star rating in the 1 to 10,000 population category.
Fay Bland

2 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to a resident of my riding, Fay Bland, who recently passed away.
Fay was a committed and compassionate activist for developmentally disabled. For more than 50 years, her efforts enabled scores of developmentally disabled children and young adults to lead fulfilling autonomous lives in their communities.
Her accomplishments are too numerous to mention. One of these projects, AVATIL—Apprentissage à la vie autonome/Towards Independent Living, provides apartments, group services, social development programs and assistance to clients so that they can live independently on the West Island.
In 2006, Fay Bland was honoured for her efforts with the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award.
Our condolences go to her family and friends and I salute the legacy of this wonderful Canadian woman.
Mathieu Émond and André Manseau
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Denis Lebel Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to two Quebec firefighters who died in the line of duty: Mathieu Émond and André Manseau.
In paying tribute to her husband, Mrs. Émond reminded us of just how dangerous the profession can be. Firefighters do not just simply look after the well-being of citizens; they also give of themselves, something that is rare in other careers. A father and an 18-year-old with his entire life before him, who gave up their own lives while protecting the lives of others are not just ordinary citizens. They are heroes.
My government would like to honour André Manseau and Mathieu Émond, and along with them, all Canadian firefighters. Courage and self-sacrifice are the hallmarks of their calling.
May our prayers accompany them to their eternal rest.

Robert Bouchard Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, at a time when different parts of the world are looking to sign treaties to maximize spinoff opportunities from major aluminum producers, it would seem essential that the Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean region have greater assurances with respect to employment and processing. That opinion is shared by a number of elected officials as well as labour leaders in my region.
Take for example the new agreement between Alcoa and the Government of Quebec, which was signed recently. For the very first time, a minimum employment level has been guaranteed in exchange for energy benefits. While not perfect, this new agreement shows that reasonable conditions can be negotiated with companies with respect to employment and processing.
The Conservative government must understand that a laissez-faire policy vis-à-vis aluminum giants is no longer an option in the regions of Quebec. This government turned a blind eye on the sale of Alcan to Rio Tinto, and the people of Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean are not about to forget it.
Canadian Space Robotics

Colin Carrie Oshawa, ON
Mr. Speaker, early this morning, Canada's most advanced robot was launched into space on-board the space shuttle Endeavour. This robot, called Dextre, along with the Canadarm2 and the mobile base, will play an absolutely vital role in the assembly of the International Space Station.
Canada is a world-renowned leader in space robotics. Our robotic ingenuity and innovation is a source of tremendous pride and a true competitive advantage for Canada. Not so long ago, the thought of a robot with the dexterity of a human hand and the capacity to move around an orbiting station seemed like the stuff of science fiction. Today it is a reality.
Canada's expertise in the design and use of advanced robotics has positioned us as an innovative, space-faring nation. The expertise at the heart of Canada's space robots is delivering results to Canadians and providing solutions to health challenges here on Earth.

Susan Kadis Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week a gunman entered the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem and brutally killed eight students and left many injured, including a Canadian.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends who lost loved ones and my support to those who are recovering from their serious injuries.
This shocking and despicable terrorist act must be strongly condemned. We cannot sit idly by and remain silent about the underlying culture of hate and rampant anti-Semitism bred from generation to generation.
I applaud my colleague, the hon. Irwin Cotler, for heading the new International Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism and I look forward to working with him to take action against the increasingly frequent and violent anti-Semitism that is occurring around the world.

Dave MacKenzie Oxford, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to alert the House to a letter written by Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, to the head of the Sikh temples worldwide. In this letter, Prime Minister Singh expressed concern that groups supporting Sikh militancy were regrouping in Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, Germany and Pakistan.
Canada will not tolerate any kind of action originating from our soil that promotes terrorism in other countries. We must not forget the lessons of the Air India tragedy.
As our Prime Minister said last June at the unveiling of the memorial to the victims of the Air India tragedy:
Flight 182 may have flown under the flag of India, but the murder of its passengers was a singularly Canadian crime and tragedy.
In a world where terrorism knows no boundaries, Canada has a responsibility to be on the lookout for those who want to use terrorism as a political tool. Our police, security and intelligence organizations remain vigilant.

Catherine Bell Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, the government has failed hard-working Canadians. I want to share the story of Jennifer McPhee, who lives in my riding.
This young mother has done everything right. She got training and became an LPN. She works in a hospital, has a second part time job and volunteers in her community, and yet she and her family are struggling in so many ways.
She writes:
I am not very politically savvy, but am fully aware of how hard it seems for the average person to get by.
I get called continuously from work at the hospital, begging me to work more...when I have looked into furthering my education so that I can help out with our nursing shortage by becoming an RN, there is no access to funding.
It feels...like this government is trying to make sure the young adults of this world don't ever succeed.
I have relied on my friends to take care of my children...as I am over the allowable threshold for child care subsidy and of course my children were born before the date that would give me access to that extra $100.00 a month.

Mr. Speaker, the Manitoba Aviation Council is honouring a Manitoba father and his six sons for their pioneering role in aviation.
Since 1935, Tom Lamb and his six boys, Greg, Donald, Dennis, Jack, Doug and Connie, flew thousands of rescue missions in northern Manitoba, some under the most extreme and dangerous conditions.
Those of us who have had the opportunity to get to know bush pilots realize how they can be remarkably entrepreneurial and fiercely independent. These qualities would surely apply to the Lamb family.
On behalf of our Manitoba caucus, I want to congratulate the Lamb family for their extraordinary contributions to the north, and in particular Doug Lamb, who saved the life of the member for Churchill when she was a child. During difficult weather conditions, Doug risked his own life to get this young girl, who was suffering from pneumonia, to a hospital. Without proper medical care that night, she would not be alive today.
Tom Lamb is now immortalized in bronze by world renowned Winnipeg sculptor Leo Mol. We should all be proud of the important role the Lamb family played in making Canada what it is today.

Mr. Speaker, over the years, Quebec has had a number of women and men who, through their art, were able to make humankind a little better, a little more beautiful. Leonard Cohen is one of them. Yesterday, he was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, in New York.
Born in Montreal, Leonard Cohen published his first book of poems in 1956, and released his first music album, which included such wonderful songs as So long Marianne and Suzanne, in 1967.
Through his extensive repertoire, he has influenced generations of musicians, who have integrated poetry with folk and rock music. In Quebec, he stands among our greatest poets and singers. Just a month ago, the daily La Presse included the album Songs of Leonard Cohen among the top ten Quebec albums of all times.
Congratulations, Mr. Cohen.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are proud of our Conservative government under the leadership of our Prime Minister.
Since 2006 we have delivered on many of the promises we made. The list of achievements is long.
The GST has been lowered to 5%. We have cut taxes by close to $200 billion. We have paid down $37 billion on the national debt.
Our national child care program provides $100 a month for every child under six.
We got Bill C-2, the tackling violent crime act, passed into law to help keep Canadians safe from dangerous criminals.
We have put an end to 13 years of neglect and foot-dragging by standing up for Canadian farmers.
We are pushing forward on Senate reform, and the Prime Minister appointed the Hon. Bert Brown to the Senate because Albertans elected him as their senator in waiting.
We have passed three balanced budgets.
Our government, under the leadership of our Prime Minister, is getting the job done for Canadians.
I would also like to thank the Liberals for showing their confidence in our government last night and for their support of our environmental initiatives.

but it also looks a bit lifeless without good crumb structure
The 3rd photo shows much better rise in the border. Presumably, this would result in better crumb structure (structure with more holes)?I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the pizza in the first 2 photos - but can you say it has good crumb structure?
For a long time I have suffered from my borders being smashed down at the cut... and it saddens me - at least from an aesthetic point of view. I wonder if when I see amazing crumb shots in photos somebody has cut the pizza in a clever way specifically to show off the crumb or whether they simply got lucky and thats why they took the photo.
With respect to Neapolitan pizza, I would also suggest that some of the crumb shots that look beautiful are probably sub-optimal from an eating standpoint.
Probably so if it springs back open on it's own(without hand manipulation for photo purpose); is this what you are referring to Craig?
Not sure if these are NP or NY or somewhere in-between - but I love the look. The more info I get from this forum - the more I think I'm pursuing the impossible to have every pizza look like this - after it has been sliced up.
I'm not sure why spring and spots would be mutually exclusive.

Matt Wellens column: Ken Godfrey once threatened to kick me out of Northern Michigan University
Sitting in my seat Saturday on the media deck of the Superior Dome, I received a familiar clutch of the shoulders while I tweeted away from the Northern Michigan University spring football game.
The squeeze of my shoulders was familiar, but not the person doing it.
I should clarify that I knew the person behind me well – senior associate athletic director Steve Reed – but he's not the person I associate with that gesture, nor the venue.
During my four years as a student reporter, that kind of greeting came late in the third period of hockey games at the Berry Events Center from a nervous Ken Godfrey, the former Wildcats athletic director who once threatened to toss me out of NMU.
Reed was there when Godfrey made the threat on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2005 – the final night Bernie Anderson ever called himself head football coach at Michigan Tech.
A week prior to that, Godfrey and his search committee met to review a list of around 40 candidates who hoped to replace Doug Sams, however, I knew there was only one man Godfrey really wanted for the job – Anderson.
As a junior electronic journalism student and sports editor of The North Wind, I spent a month following the NMU football coaching search, often asking Godfrey multiple times a week whether or not Anderson was a candidate.
"Did you chat with Bernie recently? Was he interested in the job?"
Every time, Godfrey responded with the same statement, "Not at this time," before ducking away from the rest of my questioning.
That changed on the night of Dec. 7 when I called Godfrey's second-floor PEIF office in hopes of getting one final update before The North Wind put out its final edition of the fall semester.
His answer was just as short as always, but this time, all I heard was, "come to my office, now."
I raced from the University Center in my soon to be dead Ford Taurus station wagon to the PEIF as quickly as one can drive a crumbling 10-year-old grocery getter that was pushing 200,000 miles.
I arrived at the PEIF to find a dimly lit second floor and an even darker athletic department office, with only the light of the AD's office remaining. I walked into Godfrey's office to find him and Reed chatting briefly. Both went silent and Godfrey had me take a seat.
Reed began to leave the office, but before he could leave, Godfrey spoke up.
"Steve, wait, I want you to hear this. Shut the door."
Holding a single sheet of white paper in his hand, Godfrey looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Matt, if you publish this before tomorrow morning or if I see this information on some hockey message board, I swear you will be done at this university."
I recalled this moment in my journalism career with Reed late last week. He seemed to remember it a little differently.
"I thought he was going to do much worse," Reed said with a laugh.
After spelling out my future crystal clear should I not play by the rules, Godfrey dismissed Reed, took a seat and slid me the piece of paper.
I read the first few sentences and began to sneak a smirk knowing I had been on the right track all along.
I looked up from the press release that was due to go out to the rest of the media the next morning to see I wasn't the only person with a grin. Godfrey couldn't keep his excitement contained any longer over stealing Anderson.
From there, the tension lessened, though Godfrey continued to remind me about the delicacy of situation both he and Anderson were in, especially since the Tech's administration and players had yet to be informed of their football coach's defection.
The next day, while the rest of the Marquette media was being surprised by an early morning press release announcing a new football coach – eight days earlier a release said stay tuned for a list of finalists – The North Wind was rolling off the presses with a front-page story on Anderson's hire, complete with an exclusive interview with Godfrey.
I eventually had to tell a few people about the hire upon returning to The North Wind office, convening a small committee of editors such as our editor-in-chief and news editor, who needed to know why I wanted to hijack the front page at 8 p.m. on a Wednesday.
Fearful Godfrey would follow through on his threat, I gave my colleagues a similar ultimatum.
Later on the next day during Anderson's introductory press conference at the Dome, Godfrey gave me a hug and thanked me for keeping my mouth shut. I thanked him not only for the big scoop, but for allowing The North Wind to get the story published on Dec. 8 rather than late January when the publication returned for the winter 2006 semester.
Normally you'd like to forget the night you almost got kicked out of college, but for me, I'll never forget it.
The Anderson scoop will probably go down as one of my best because there was no Twitter or Facebook at the time to spoil the fun five seconds after besting your competition.
It was more than just a great career accomplishment, however. It is one of my best memories of my time at NMU and one of my greatest memories of Ken Godfrey. I'll always be thankful to Ken for giving me that moment.
Thanks Ken. Rest well.
Editor's note: Ken Godfrey passed away last week at the age of 64 following a long battle with graft versus host disease as a result of a bone marrow transplant during treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. Godfrey will be remembered today during a 2 p.m. memorial service at Messiah Lutheran Church in Marquette.
Mining Journal Sports Editor Matt Wellens worked with Godfrey from 2003-07 while a student reporter/editor at The North Wind and as reporter for The Journal his senior year at NMU. He can be reached at 906-228-2500, ext. 252. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/mattwellens.

One interesting feature is the YouTube Hall of Fame, a weekly feature, I think. Lots of good stuff in last week's edition...(the Richard Pryor interview, for example)

Hamline's volleyball team ran into a brick wall in the form of a solid St. Mary's performance and dropped a 3-0 decision to the Cardinals in Winona Saturday. The Pipers struggled in the first set, never leading in a 25-18 setback. In the middle set, SMU broke away from a 12-all deadlock for a 25-14 decision. The Pipers dropped the third set as well, 25-16. Sam Greeney-Hamlin was the top attacker with nine kills. Becka Mozes had 18 assists and Lynsey Reimer (pictured) contributed 17 digs.
HU is now 18-10 overall (1-8 MIAC) and returns home to finish up the season next week with matches against St. Thomas (Oct. 24) and Augsburg (Oct. 26).

In short: Good city centre race, very well supported in certain placesIn full: More toilet facilities at the start, and clearer mile markers would be appreciated, but a very good event and great stadium finish, 'goody' bag a misnomer though!!Date of review: June 20, 2007
In short: getting betterIn full: better organised with no log jam to get out of the stadium. good course with plenty of first aid (well used). Hot day good atmosphere, not quite as good as last year. Goody bag had a rubber light bulb in and that was all. That is the worst bag ever.Date of review: June 20, 2007
In short: Great!!In full: A fantastically organised run. Sheffield, you should be very very proud of yourselves. The crowd were awesome, the stadium is/was fantastic, the weather gorgeous.

Often you will find me;
wearing a hoody and fingerless gloves, warming my hands over the toaster, putting the blow dryer on high and in my shirt, standing over the furnace vents with a blanket wrapped around me, sleeping with a heated mattress pad, and... watching t.v. or taking naps with the heating pad.
But... the heating pad was ugly.
Until I did this!
I used the Hexagon die with the AccuQuilt Go! Baby cutter and Karen's tutorial over at Sew Many Ways.
I used a Charm pack I had in my stash. The 5" squares fit perfectly for the largest hexagon on the large die with three sizes...
I used Karen's tutorial and nifty template to cut the hexies in half and snip the corners to get them ready to sew... Way fab!
Here they are sewn into rows...
The heating pad is always draped over the back of the couch. Now, it looks purty.

The Dictionary of American Family Names, from Oxford University Press, is one of those must-have resources for serious genealogists. Each entry gives a detailed origin of a family's surname, describing its various meanings, geographical origins, and the context in which it arose.
In fact, the venerable Genealogy Bulletin says "it belongs in every library in America , particularly those who cater to genealogists".
Too bad the danged thing cost hundreds of dollars for the three-volume hard copy set.
Happily though, you can get online access to DAFN absolutely free, using the Surname Lookups at Ancestry.com
Getting there is a mite tricky. From the Ancestry.com homepage, just click on the tab labeled Search (or click on Search All Records from the pull-down menu). Once on the Search page, scroll down. Near the bottom, on the right hand side, is Other Resources, and just under that is Surname Distribution. That's the one you want...click there, and search on your surname.
As far as I can tell, the lookup includes all 70,000+ surnames from DAFN. Even more, you can also look up the etymology of first names...still at no charge. A pretty good deal!

In 1865, the noted wine shipper Hermann Cruse acquired the chateau and its 120 hectares of vones. The Cruse dynasty provided the financial means to make one of the greatest wines in the Medoc. In 1975, Guy Tesseron, solidly implanted in the Cognac region, and owner of Lafon Rochet in St-Estephe, purchsed Pontet-Canet. Assisted by his son Alfred, he has done much to develop the reputation of this famous classified growth. "Quality" is the key word in the vineyard and cellars. View all Chateau Pontet-Canet Wines
About PauillacView a map of Pauillac wineries (pouy-YACK)
Home to three premier cru (first growth) chateaux, Pauillac is a leader in quality Bordeaux. Chateaux Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild are situated within the Pauillac appellation. Sandwiched between St.-Estèphe and St.-Julien, Pauillac wines are big - known for their combination of elegance and power.
Notable FactsThe gravel-based soils of Pauillac are key in creating the structured wines produced there. Like most of Bordeaux's left bank, Cabernet Sauvignon is the leading grape. Some typical descriptions of wine from Pauillac include: concentrated, full-bodied, powerful, firm tannins, ability to mature. Not all of the Pauillac wines are top price collectibles that you can only find at auctions. There are great values in the lower level crus, like the fifth growth, Chateau Lynch-Bages, as well as great Cru Bourgeois such as Chateau Pibran. These wines are more affordable and often mature a bit sooner.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Goodman marijuana grow busted
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
MARINETTE, Wis. – A father and son from Goodman, Wis. have been arrested on felony charges following a drug bust at their home that revealed nearly 300 marijuana plants.
Patrick Lee Franklin, 55, and Taylor Garret Franklin, 21, each face one felony count of manufacture or deliver marijuana-more than 10,000 grams and one felony count of maintaining a drug trafficking place.
If convicted on both counts, each defendant could spend up to 18 and a half years in prison.
They are scheduled for initial appearances in Marinette County Court on June 17.
The charges stem from a May 31 incident in Goodman.
Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve said that his department, the Marinette Police Department, and agents from the State of Wisconsin Department of Justice executed a search warrant at the Franklins' residence.
They seized 279 marijuana plants, 24 ounces of processed marijuana, about $19,000 in cash, drug paraphernalia, firearms, and two vehicles, said Sauve.
The criminal complaint issued by the district attorney in the case indicates that neighbors had been reporting suspicious activity at the Franklins' home to the Marinette County Sheriff's Department since July 2008.
According to the neighbors, the Franklins would transport large bags out of their home during the nighttime hours, and would load hoses, water jugs, pumps, and fertilizer into their van at other times.
The neighbors also reported seeing the Franklins' van in a rural, wooded area south of Armstrong Creek, Wis. in Forest County.
In addition, the neighbors noticed that the Franklins would keep their doors and windows open during the winter months, cover their windows with dark material, and constantly check the cameras installed on their property.
Deputies believed that the practices were consistent with the manufacture of marijuana.
After obtaining power records for the Franklins' home, deputies noted that there was extremely high usage for April 2010 and April 2013.
Deputies felt that this was further evidence of the Franklins starting marijuana plants indoors and then transferring them to an outdoor location.
Following the bust, Patrick Franklin told authorities that the marijuana was for medical use to relieve pain and anxiety, the complaint said.
According to the criminal complaint, Patrick Franklin said that he smokes about one ounce of marijuana every three to four days a week.
Sauve would like the public to be vigilant of illegal marijuana growing operations as they recreate in Marinette County forests and fields this summer.
Anyone with information about illegal drug activity can contact the Marinette County Sheriff's Department at (715) 732-7626 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-427-5857, www.tipsubmit.com, or by texting "Marinette" plus the message to 274637.

ESCANABA – The unemployment rate in the Upper Peninsula rose seasonally by nearly a full percentage point in January to 10.3 percent, according to statistics released by the Michigan Department Of Technology, Management and Budget.
In Delta County, the unemployment rate rose to 10.7 percent, up from 9.6 percent in December. The jobless rate was 10.9 percent a year ago.
Schoolcraft County's jobless rate was 15.9 percent in January. The unemployment rate was 13.7 percent the previous month and 15.6 percent in January 2012.
Menominee County saw a jobless increase to 7.2 percent. The unemployment rate was 6.8 percent in December and 8 percent in January 2012.
All but one of the Upper Peninsula's 15 counties posted higher jobless rates during the month of January, with Mackinac County recording the largest rate increase (4.8 percentage points), followed by Schoolcraft County, up by 2.2 percentage points. Jobless rate hikes in January were due to typical seasonal job cuts in construction and retail. Only one county (Luce) reported a jobless rate decrease during January (down by just -0.1 of a percentage point to 11.6 percent).
Menominee County (7.2 percent) posted the lowest unemployment rate in the Upper Peninsula during January, followed by Marquette and Dickinson counties at 7.9 and 8.3 percent, respectively.

New flights to Orlando from LVIA
One-way tickets sold at introductory fare of $90
HANOVER TWP., Pa. - A new airline will soon be landing at the Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE).
It was welcome news, just weeks after AirTran announced it was flying out of LVIA forever.
"Frontier Airlines is here today [Tuesday] to announce that we're going to be starting service here to Lehigh Valley Airport (ABE)," announced Greg Aretakis, vice president of revenue production for Frontier, which will add two non-stop flights per week to the Orlando International Airport (MCO).
The first new flight will take off May 26. Tickets start with an introductory one-way fare of $90, which includes taxes and fees. The fare will go up to $100 after March 14.
The flights will depart Orlando at 8:31 a.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays and return with an 11:40 a.m. departure from ABE.
"After doing our homework, we determined that the time is right to come in," said Aretakis.
Much of the decision, Aretakis said, had to do with the economy.
"As the economy grows, a business like ours wants to partner with the growing economy," said Aretakis.
Tony Iannelli, chairman of Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority, said Frontier's announcement is a swing in the positive direction for the airport.
"It's all about momentum, said Iannelli, who also serves as president and CEO of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. "To start 2012 off, this is a great first step, so we're happy that they've stepped up. We're happy to have Frontier."
Some travelers, too, will be happy to have Frontier, which is essentially maintaining a direct flight to Orlando that would be lost when when AirTran pulls out this summer.
"On an annual basis, we have 100,000 people who travel from Lehigh Valley to Orlando from this airport," said Charles Everett, executive director of the airport authority. "So, it is our number one destination."
As of right now, no jobs will be added locally, Frontier said. As for what's on the frontier for the airline, all Aretakis would say is, "You'll have to stay tuned."
At noon Tuesday, Everett told his board he hopes Frontier will increase the number of flights between the Lehigh Valley and Orlando when AirTran ends its service in August. Frontier will be flying 138-seat Airbus 319 aircraft between the airports.
Earlier this month, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., urged Allegiant and Frontier airlines to take another look at the Lehigh Valley.
"I urged Frontier to bring service to the Lehigh Valley to support the regional economy and increase options for local travelers," Casey said. "This move is a win for the Lehigh Valley, and I welcome Frontier to its newest hub in Pennsylvania."
In January, AirTran announced it will leave LVIA in August as part of its purchase by Southwest Airlines.

Dwayne 'Hank'/'Second Hand' Ford
GLADSTONE – A true and gentle man passed from us. Dwayne "Hank"/"Second Hand" Ford will be remembered as a sweet husband, a loving father and a good friend.
Dwayne R. Ford, 77, passed away Thursday morning, Feb. 7, 2013, at his home in Gladstone.
Hank was born July 9, 1935, in Escanaba, the son of Byron and Olive (Groos) Ford and was a graduate of Holy Name School. Hank made a career in the United State Air Force, where he proudly served his country for 28 years, including a tour in Vietnam.
Hank had a favorite poem I'd like to share with you:
The Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God
Which always must come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
Step forward now you soldier
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek
To my church, have you been true?
The soldier squared his shoulders
and said, "No Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry guns
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
And at times, my talk was tough
And sometimes I've been violent
Because the world is awfully rough.
But I never took a penny
that wasn't mine to keep.
Tho' I worked a lot of overtime
when the bills got just too steep
And I never passed a cry for help
Tho' sometimes shook with fear
And sometimes, God forgive me
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm the fears.
So, if you've a place for me here, Lord
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly
For the judgment of his God.
Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on heavens streets
You've done your time in hell
He is survived by his loving family which includes his loving wife, Sonja; daughters, Cheryl Bernard, Lisa Ford, Lisa Hainstock; sons, Eric Ford, Steve Rogers and Joe Rogers; 14 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services to celebrate the life of Dwayne R. "Hank" Ford will be held at the convenience of the Ford family.
The Skradski Family Funeral Homes of Delta County are assisting the Ford family with arrangements. Messages of condolence to the Ford family may be offered online at www.skradskifuneralhomes.com.

Burns are divided into three categories, according to their severity. First-degree burns are the mildest and cause redness and perhaps slight swelling of the skin (like most sunburns). Second-degree burns cause blistering and considerable swelling. Third-degree burns may appear white or charred and cause serious injury, not just to the surface but also to the deeper skin layers.
There are many different causes of serious burns in children, including sunburn, hot-water scalds, and those due to fire, electrical contact, or chemicals. All of these can cause permanent injury and scarring to the skin.
Your immediate treatment of a burn should include the following.
For anything more serious than a superficial burn, or if redness and pain continue for more than a few hours, consult a physician. All electrical burns and burns of the hands, mouth, or genitals should receive immediate medical attention. Chemicals that cause burns also may be absorbed through the skin and cause other symptoms. Call the Poison Help Line (1–800–222–1222) or your pediatrician after washing off all the chemicals.
If your physician thinks the burn is not too serious, he may show you how to clean and care for it at home using medicated ointments and dressings. Under the following circumstances, however, hospitalization may be necessary.
When treating a burn at home, watch for any increase in redness or swelling or the development of a bad odor or discharge. These can be signs of infection, which will require medical attention.

Horse Love II
3 comments:
I came by a few minutes ago after reading your lovely comment on my blog today. Not to worry. I have a ton of photos of Old Cowtown and will be showing more, probably ad nauseum. I scrolled down through several pages, saw why you liked this museum, then became fascinated by your ROD journal. I make something similar, but they are for friends, since I never journal. When I came back to your homepage, I saw you had published another post while I was off looking elsewhere on your blog. Thanks for your sweet comment today. I hope you will come back, because I know I'll be returning to your place!ReplyDelete
You're right, the speaker does not stop talking and annoying to see the horse synchronization with the music. Thanks for your comments, make me feel happy and excited. A greeting.ReplyDelete
Wow, I love the pic of you and your husband with your horse...One of my favorite movies of all time is The Horse Whisperer...I could really see that there is a connection between people and their horses...it is amazing!!!ReplyDelete

Key Features
Click to See Complete Item Details »
- This rare and captivating coconut cup exhibits classical style and exceptional artistry
- Coconut cups were often throught to detect and even deter the effects of poison.
- Hallmarked London, 1799
- 7 1/4" high
Item Details
- Height:
7 1/4" high Inches
- Period:
- Origin:
Exotic coconut fits perfectly into the classical design of this rare and intriguing 18th-century English cup by Parker & Simpson. Set upon fluted, tripod column with ball-and-claw feet, the polished shell is adorned with a fitted lid, with an urn finial, and handle, rare features among these intriguing cups. The use of rare and exotic materials such as the coconut became popular across Europe during the Middle Ages when it was believed that these unique materials from distant lands possessed mystical powers. It was held that they could detect, and even deter, the effects of poison and as such were employed as drinking vessels, often mounted with ornate embellishments of silver. As more trade routes opened up during the 16th century, materials such as the coconut became more widely available, though still only afforded to the wealthy minority in Europe and England. And, while they eventually lost their appeal for their magical powers, coconuts proved an ideal material for cups and pots and retained their popularity as such. Very similar silver-mounted coconut cups can be found in the most respected museum collections, including the Gilbert Collection.
