Pool C USA (3-0) vs Mexico (1-2)
August 18
USA shows strength against determined Mexico team
GATINEAU – The United States once again showed it can be down at times but never out as they defeated Mexico 25-22, 25-19, 25-19 at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships at the Centre-Sportif de Gatineau.
''We didn't start out each set very well,'' said U.S. head coach John Hawks. ''But I got to give our guys a lot of credit. We made the necessary plays to get us going. Still we knew we were going to play a very strong opponent in Mexico. It was a big test for us.''
Taylor Crabb led the Americans in scoring with 13 points, Maurice Torres added 12 and Taylor Sander 11. The Americans finish first in pool C with a 3-0 record.
''We were really surprised with how much fire they came out with,'' said U.S., captain Dylan Davis. ''We were not expecting that and it caught off us guard. But we came back and fought through it.''
Mexico finishes 2-1 and advances to the quarterfinals. Juan Revualta was the top Mexican scorer with a game high 14 points.
''The team did their best and they were really trying,'' said Mexico's head coach Francisco Javier Jimenez Espitia. ''But things didn't work out. The U.S., were very well prepared and they are a very strong team.''
''We played to the best of our abilities and this game is going to help us in the playoffs,'' said Mexico's captain Jorge Barajas.
Pool C Trinidad and Tobago (0-3) vs Martinique (1-2)
August 18
Big win for Martinique at NORCECA Championships
GATINEAU – Martinique won the battle for third spot in pool C at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships on Wednesday defeating Trinidad and Tobago 25-12, 25-8, 25-20
"I'm super happy," said Martinique head coach Eddie Salomon. "Not only did we play well but we also maintained a good point spread which could very important for us for the consolation quarterfinal rankings. We were consistent"
Martinique (1-2) had lost its first two matches to the U.S., and Mexico. Jordi Eniona and Boris Zeline scored nine points each for the winners.
"It feels great to get a win after two lopsided losses," said Zeline. "We clearly learned from those two matches."
It was a disappointing performance for Trinidad and Tobago (0-3). Their top scorers were Kazeem Khan and Bernard Renaud with four points each.
"Very disappointed," said Trinidad and Tobago captain Akim Bushe. "We really needed to win this game but we couldn't find any rhythm. They didn't surprise us because we had played them in qualifying and we knew of their capabilities."
Pool B Honduras (1-2) vs St. Lucia (0-3)
August 18
Honduras tastes victory at NORCECA Championships
GATINEAU, Que. – Honduras earned its first victory at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships on Wednesday defeating first-time participant St. Lucia 25-20, 25-14, 25-15.
Josue Carbajal Vargas led the Honduras attack with 13 points. Jose Elias Barahona Diaz added eight for the Hondurans who complete the round at 1-2 for third place in pool B. They will advance to the consolation quarterfinal and battle for seventh place.
"We feel really good and proud of everyone and we dedicate the win to Honduras," said Vargas. "Our concentration was the key. We played very smart and unified."
"The guys upped their game today and that's why we won," said Honduras' coach Carlos Funez. "Our reception was excellent and we were able to make excellent plays."
For St.Lucia they continued to play with great spirit and delivered a particularly strong first set. They finish the round robin at 0-3.
"It was bit frustrating at times," said St. Lucia's 28-year-old head coach Ryan Germain. "Our blocking elements lacked a lot of composure but our serve and attacks in the middle were definitely there. But the general objective is to come here for the experience and see the level we aspire to get to. In that situation we win no matter what."
Many coaches are lauding the play of St. Lucia's Julian Bissette.
"He is a prolific attacker and blocker," said Germain. "He's young and only been plying for three years so there are areas he needs to improve. We hope a lot to come out of him and he'll be a key to our future."

Leicester edged their way into the LV= Cup final with a hard-fought 17-16 win over Bath at the Recreation Ground on Friday.
Leicester edged their way into the LV= Cup final with a hard-fought 17-16 win over Bath at the Recreation Ground on Friday.
18-year-old fly-half George Ford kicked four crucial penalties – three of them in the second half – to help earn the win.
Led by Craig Newby in his first starting appearance of the season after his recovery from knee surgery, Leicester claimed the opening try of the match and led 8-0 before Bath struck back with a strong performance in the second part of the opening half.
But the second half belonged to the kickers and Ford kept his nerve as the Tigers booked their place in the final.
The opening points of a breathless first quarter came on 18 minutes when another kick-chase led to a penalty and Ford made no mistake with the kick from 30 metres out.
Ford then produced a superb kick to pin back Bath and the hosts made a mistake at the line-out near their own line. When prop Charlie Beech lost possession under pressure from Julian White, Tigers lock Graham Kitchener dropped on the loose ball to score. Ford missed the conversion as Leicester led 8-0.
Fly-half Tom Heathcote got Bath off the mark with a 35-metre penalty after 24 minutes as the game continued to swing in the favour of one side and then the other.
Then Bath claimed the lead for the first time just after the half-hour with a converted try. A line-out on the left provided the platform and a sweeping attack, led by a 40-metre charge from Matt Carraro, took them within range of the tryline, the ball eventually coming to the right for hooker Lee Mears to dart between two defenders to score. Heathcote added a testing kick from out wide to give the hosts a 10-8 advantage.
The home crowd almost had more cause for celebration moments later as a sharp attack on halfway set Matt Banahan into space but, when he kicked ahead, Ford read the bounce of the ball and kept his cool to clear.
Bath enjoyed their best spell in the closing 10 minutes of the half, using Carraro and Banahan to crash the ball up in midfield, and the offloading game among the forwards to keep Leicester on the back foot.
They created two more chances on the right before the half closed with Tigers scrum-half James Grindal winning turnover ball at a close-range scrum and the visitors protecting possession as the clock kicked down to the break.
The home side almost had a dream start to the second half when Scott Hamilton's miscued kick gave away possession on halfway and Bath's Biggs got his side in dangerous territory. The ball was flung to the right but, with men over, it drifted into touch.
The pressure was unrelenting though as Mears and Banahan got within reach of the tryline, but spirited defence kept Leicester in the game, eventually winning turnover ball near the 22.
The Tigers won a penalty at the scrum and, after Ford had taken play up to halfway, international props Logoviii Mulipola and Marcos Ayerza replaced Boris Stankovich and White.
They were rewarded with a penalty at their opening scrum, giving Ford an opportunity to regain the lead with a kick from 35 metres. A big cheer from the travelling support signaled its success as Leicester regained the lead at 11-10.
But it was shortlived, though, when Biggs capitalised on a loose pass from Newby and, when Bath were awarded a penalty on the left, Heathcote struck it well to make it 13-11 to the home side.
The see-saw fortunes continued as Leicester were awarded a penalty from the restart after obstruction in the Bath forwards and Ford struck the kick to make it 14-13.
Back Bath game yet again, with Heathcote nailing a penalty in front of the posts after Kitchener had been penalised at a ruck. And they almost added to it with replacement Jack Cuthbert powering his way up to the 22 and kicking in behind, only for Twelvetrees to rescue Leicester with a race to the ball and then the composure to set up a clearing kick.
Thomas Waldrom and Julian Salvi entered the fray, replacing Ben Pienaar and Newby in the Tigers pack, but Bath had the next opportunity, gaining a penalty at a scrum close to halfway. But Heathcote was unable to maintain his 100 per cent record, pushing the kick wide.
The heavyweight contest at the scrum continued, with Bath celebrating prematurely when the referee's whistle blew, only to point first their way then to Leicester after a word from his assistant.
Ford remained the coolest man on the pitch to make it 17-16 to Tigers.
Barely a minute later, though, Bath were given their own chance when Twelvetrees was penalised for taking a man off the ball as Banahan looked to pass. Heathcote, though, hooked horribly from wide out.
Agulla then almost produced a try out of nothing in response, taking a catch on his 10-metre line and racing 50 metres upfield before being tackled into touch barely five metres short.
Bath struggled to clear their lines, Mafi charging down a kick from Michael Claassens, Mulipola thumping the ball up twice and the Tigers forwards retaining both possession and composure as the clock ticked down to the last three minutes.
A series of reset scrums took the clock down to 90 seconds remaining before Leicester were penalised. Barkley kicked to touch, gaining the throw-in on the Bath 10-metre line.
Ball off the top got Bath going forward again but Carraro knocked-on as he met the Tigers defence and Leicester cleared into touch with time up. But there was one more chance as Bath recycled ball in midfield, only for referee Pearson to blow for a penalty.
Ford's punt into the crowd drew cheers from the away supporters and sealed a place in the final of the competition for the first time since 2008.
Bath: 15 Sam Vesty, 14 Matt Banahan, 13 Matt Carraro, 12 Olly Barkley, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Francois Louw (c), 6 Ben Skirving, 5 Ryan Caldwell, 4 Dave Attwood, 3 Duncan Bell, 2 Lee Mears, 1 Charlie Beech.
Replacements: 16 Pieter Dixon, 17 David Flatman, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Guy Mercer, 20 Carl Fearns, 21 Chris Cook, 22 Olly Woodburn, 23 Jack Cuthbert.

Replacements: 16 Tom Youngs, 17 Marcos Ayerza, 18 Logoviii Mulipola, 19 Julian Salvi, 20 Thomas Waldrom, 21 Scott Steele, 22 Jeremy Staunton, 23 Matt Smith.

What is the benefit of games that use Games for Windows — LIVE?
We created Games for Windows — LIVE with the same philosophy that inspired the creation of Xbox LIVE for the console—to create a service that improves the gaming experience by connecting users to their friends, letting them compete or play cooperatively, earn achievements, download new add-on content, and have easy ways to find and play games, with voice chat built right in. And because it's the same service as Xbox LIVE, you have only one log-in account (your Windows Live ID) that you need to worry about – it's the same login/password on Games for Windows — LIVE, Xbox LIVE, and even Zune. That unified ID means that users have only one friends list, one set of Microsoft Points, and one collection of achievements across all the platforms, from PC to console to Windows Phone—it's the same service, spanning multiple platforms.
Are Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows — LIVE two different services?
Games for Windows — LIVE and Xbox LIVE connect to the same service, so you can use the same account and have access to many of the same great features, such as multiplayer gaming, voice chat, text chat, achievements, and the same pool of Microsoft Points. Games for Windows — LIVE lets users see what their friends are doing online – using the same account as on Xbox LIVE, Zune, and Windows Phone.
Can I use my Xbox 360 account with Games for Windows — LIVE?
Absolutely! The identity system used by both systems is one and the same. Achievements earned on either platform are added to your total gamerscore, and you will see the same friends list on both platforms when connecting with the same account, as well as the same balance of Microsoft Points.
What's the difference between Steam and Games for Windows — LIVE?
Steam is Valve's digital distribution client. Microsoft offers digital distribution through the Games for Windows Marketplace, available at marketplace.xbox.com/PC.
The service Valve offers that compares most directly with Games for Windows — LIVE is Steamworks. Steamworks and Games for Windows — LIVE are similar in terms of their primary features – achievements, multiplayer, and DLC.
Steam started as a marketplace that added social features whereas Xbox LIVE started as a social platform that added marketplace features, so both have their own strengths and overlap significantly. Here's a high-level view of some of the differences:
|Gameplay Features:
|Multiplayer Play
|Skill-Based Matchmaking
|Game Invites
|In-Game Voice Chat
|In-Game Text Chat
|Persistent Leaderboards
|In-game Party Support
|Community Features:
|Voice Messages
|Text Messages
|Friend Groups (Events/Calendars)
|Multi-User Voice Chat
|Multi-User Text Chat
How does Games for Windows — LIVE's DRM compare to Steam's?
The biggest differentiator between Games for Windows — LIVE and Steam is access control. Steam controls access to games you download from Steam by requiring an online verification to play those games. If your Steam account is stolen or banned, access to your entire collection of games downloaded from Steam could be lost.
On the other hand, Games for Windows — LIVE does not control access to your collection through online verification. You can install your games anywhere and play your games offline without online verification. You can also launch games directly without running the Games for Windows — LIVE client. The only time you have to connect to Games for Windows — LIVE is when you want to receive LIVE services. Then Games for Windows — LIVE does verify that your account is authorized to play the game on Games for Windows — LIVE.
Games for Windows – LIVE offers publishers several tools to help secure their games. Microsoft also supports many security features the publishers commonly decide to implement. Choices of DRM and how to implement are purely made by the publisher and developer, and Games for Windows — LIVE simply respects those choices. This may include installation limits, if the publisher feels this is an important part of their game.
When an update is available for my game, do I have to update before I can play?
You will not be able to connect to Games for Windows — LIVE and play multiplayer, but if you choose not to download and apply an update for your game you will still be able to play the rest of the game. When you choose not to apply an update, your Games for Windows — LIVE account is logged in using the offline mode. You will still have access to game add-ons, saved games, and achievements while signed-in offline. You can then download and apply the update later when it is convenient for you.
How does Games for Windows — LIVE activation work?
Games for Windows — LIVE online account activation is not required for offline game play, such as single-player campaigns. If you would prefer to play offline and not connect to the Xbox LIVE service and not create your LIVE profile, you must create an offline profile. Note that when playing offline, a separate system of protection, such as a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system, may also be used by the game's publisher.
Online account activation is required on Games for Windows — LIVE in order to connect to the Xbox LIVE service and enable a game's online game play and features, such as multiplayer modes and leaderboards. When doing so, users will encounter an activation system that uses either Server Side Authentication or Per Title 5x5 access keys. Publishers determine the activation system that best meets the needs of their game. Key features of these two activation systems include:
- Server Side Authentication (SSA): This system ties the game's Games for Windows — LIVE access code to an individual user account, allowing the user to install, activate, and enjoy virtually unlimited play on multiple machines. Note that only the account used to activate the game's access code can enable online play of the game.
- Per Title 5x5: This system uses a 5x5 access key that is tied to a specific game title, but not a user's PC or Xbox LIVE Account. This allows one gamertag to access and play games from an individual user's PC. At the same time, this system prevents access keys from being shared across Games for Windows — LIVE games.
Does Games for Windows — LIVE have installation limits?
No, there is no installation limit built into Games for Windows — LIVE games. You can install a Games for Windows — LIVE game on as many machines as you like. As mentioned earlier, if you play offline there's no activation.
Games for Windows — LIVE offers publishers several tools to help secure their games. Microsoft also supports many security features the publishers commonly decide to implement. Choices of DRM and how to implement are purely made by the publisher and developer, and Games for Windows — LIVE simply respects those choices. This may include installation limits, if the publisher feels this is an important part of their game.
What countries does Games for Windows — LIVE support?
In order to connect to the LIVE service, you need to live in www.xbox.com/LIVE/countries.
If you do not live in one of these countries, you can still play the game but you won't be able connect to Games for Windows — LIVE.
Do users have to create a LIVE account to play a Games for Windows — LIVE game?
No, you can play offline without ever connecting to Microsoft or creating a LIVE profile. Games for Windows — LIVE supports the creation and use of an offline "local" profile that exists only on the user's computer. This account will let you play the single player portions of the game, but the user will not be able to play multiplayer, gain achievements, or take advantage of the other LIVE features. However, Microsoft strongly recommends that users who wish to play offline create an online account and then use that account to log in "offline." This makes the end-user experience better, since it ensures that saved games, purchasing /downloading add-on content for the game, and keeping the account across Xbox LIVE, Games for Windows – LIVE, and Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone remains consistent.
Do you need to activate to play when using an offline account?
No, if you create and sign in with an offline account, the Games for Windows — LIVE service is not contacted and therefore no activation or Internet connection is required.
Does GFWL support playing offline with my LIVE account?
Yes, similar to the Xbox 360, you can create an online profile and then go offline with that profile as you wish. Any achievements you gain while offline will be added to your online profile when you connect.
What's the disadvantage of using an offline account?
You will not be able to play multiplayer, purchase or use game add-on content, and your saved games may not work from one computer to the next. Game add-ons, multiplayer, leaderboards, and other online features of a game require an online account. If you decide to later switch to an online account, please be aware that your game saves probably won't transfer as they are typically tied to the active profile.
If you wish to remain disconnected while playing games, we recommend you create an online account but simply play the game with that profile without connecting so no Internet traffic is used.
Does Games for Windows — LIVE cause users to lose save games?
Games typically tie save games to your account. So if a friend signs in with a different account on your machine, your friend will have their own set of saved games. If you sign-in with a new account, typically you can't access the first account's save games. This behavior is similar to Xbox 360 and other PC digital distribution providers that require sign-in to play.
Can Games for Windows — LIVE games be sold on Steam and other digital distribution providers?
Yes, games such as Fallout 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV use Games for Windows — LIVE and are sold on Steam as well as other digital distribution providers. In contrast, Steamworks titles are rarely sold on other digital distribution providers because the Steam client is required to install, launch and play the game. Since Games for Windows — LIVE games are sold in more places, there are more consumer choices where the game can be digitally purchased and thus more competitive prices for consumers.
Does Games for Windows — LIVE support dedicated server support?
Yes, Games for Windows — LIVE allows games to add dedicated servers, however not all games choose to do this. In fact, Games for Windows — LIVE has even allowed some Xbox 360 games to have dedicated servers running on a PC to increase the size of multiplayer matches.
Do you have to use Microsoft Points to buy games?
No, you don't have to use Microsoft Points when buying a full game. Similar to the Xbox 360, you can use a credit card when purchasing a game from the Games on Demand catalog.

The Trigger X Goo Bug is one of the key baits Jacob Wheeler used to secure his 2012 FLW Forrest Wood Cup victory on Lake Lanier, becoming the youngest ever to win the Cup, and taking home $500,000 in prize money.
A tremendous heavy cover bait, the Trigger X Goo Bug features a unique tail design that allows it to fish like two baits in one. When you fish it with the tail intact, it glides seductively on the fall, maximizing time in the strike zone, and when you split the tail, you have two life-like craw pinchers that flap and flutter on the fall and at to its killer crawfish profile. On a jig head with a split tail, the claws will also float up and assume a perfect defensive position when resting on the bottom. Available in a range of proven colors, the Trigger X Goo Bug is loaded with Trigger X's Ultrabite Aggression Pheromones that combine natural "aggression" and "fear" pheromones to mimic the real life predator vs. prey response.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Excellent flipping bait. I would rate them better than most beaver style baits. The body is thick, and very durable allowing for use of a bigger hook. They last much longer than other beaver baits, have caught up to 6 fish on one bait. Also makes for a good jig trailer, if you cut the paddle apart. Whatever this thing smells like, the fish certainly like it--they hold on to it like no other baits I have fished. Delta Red is an awesome color, works well for clear to stained water
From: Brad: TX
Comments: This thing is very durable, lasts several fish, fished it with 3/4 oz tungsten and punch skirt, fish like it and it lasts even with shrink tube bait keeper on my hooks
From: J: Northwest
Comments: picked up a few packs of these and have been very impressed. Rigged it Texas w a 3/8 oz tungsten and a 4/0 hook and that has been the ticket for pitching and flipping around brush and docks. I've caught three over 3lbs and several 2lbs or better. Muck is the color that was working last weekend, have picked up a few others since then. Durability seems better than the havoc pit boss and the action is good too. This bait comes through the water better than some beaver style baits that kinda seem to glide and can look unnatural. I would def recommend this if you like pitching and flipping plastic creature baits. Remember, sometimes downsizing your bait will get you quality strikes.
From: JG: Nashville, TN
Comments: love this bait you can rig it weight Less on a belly weight swim bait hook or use it as a jig trailer. It I's a very durable bait and has that interesting scent that most of triggers products have. I have caught a ton of qualaty large and small mouth bass on it and is my goto and will always have some in my boat

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Thousands from Tupelo and surrounding communities flocked to the Tupelo Furniture Market on Wednesday, eager to fill their styrofoam bowls with smooth bisques, flavorful chowders and steaming chilis provided by dozens of local vendors at the Salvation Army's annual Empty Bowls event.
For some of the event's 53 vendors, like West End Catering's Bruce Parker, the routine was old hat. He has participated in Empty Bowls for the past eight years, and claimed his flavorful Mexican Bean Nacho concoction was an improvised step off the beaten path.
"You see a lot of traditional recipes like chicken noodle or potato soup, but I wanted to do something not so ordinary," he said. "When we first started doing Empty Bowls, it probably wasn't half the size it is now."
Danvers' Emily Griggs experienced the event for the first time under the wing of Dot Lyons, who has worked the event for Danvers for as many years as she could remember.
"I didn't think it would be so big," Griggs said, filling a bowl with chicken gumbo.
"My favorite part is meeting all the people," Lyons said.
In the 15 years since its inception, Empty Bowls has become somewhat of a social occasion, attracting more and more patrons as well as vendors each year. This year, proceeds will not only go toward the Army's food pantry, but also to fund an expansion of the Army's homeless lodge.
"It's an excellent show of community support," said Marguerite Johnson, member of the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary that organized the event. "People really seem to step up for us."
The SAWA anticipated the growing number of people this year. Last year's 96 tables were increased to 130 tables, and even then seating was pushed to capacity.
The fashion show, which garnered nearly $7,000, sported a new twist this year; instead of auctioning off an outfit, participators were instructed to dress in a costume that pertained to homlessness and to collect donations from browsing patrons. The man and woman who collected the most were crowned the Empty Bowls King and Queen. This year, B.B. Hosch won the crown with his tattered biker apparel while Lisa Hawkins' wild-haired bag woman garb earned her the title of queen.
Though donations and ticket sales will continue to trickle in, Empty Bowls chair Karla Joblin said the preliminary count amounted to around $50,000, slightly down from last year's proceeds of more than $63,000. She attributed the decrease to a decrease in corporate sponsors and local businesses who could not spare a large donation two years in a row.
Nevertheless, patrons left with nearly 3,000 bowls made by the SAWA and local potters over the span of the past year. Judy Hosaflook, publicity chair for the event, said the ladies of SAWA would take two weeks off, then return to firing pottery for Empty Bowls 2014.

Capital Counseling, MSW, LCSW-R
Capital Counseling Your Lifeline to Better Mental Health
100 West Ave, Saratoga Springs, New York 12866
Family therapy is a form of counseling that views problems as an expression of patterns of behavior that exist within the inter-relations of family members. Rather than attributing the problem behavior to an individual member, the entire family system is taken into account. Capital Counseling works with families to understand how undesired behaviors function within the family system, and to identify changes in behavior among several or all family members that eliminate the targeted behavior. Family therapy can be helpful in preventing any one individual from being labeled as "the problem" as it focuses on the social context of the family out of which the behavior develops.

NO YOLK: If you've ever tried to separate egg yolks and whites you've probably muttered a few choice words in the process. The Pluck makes it simple — it's a tiny silicone and plastic suction pump that cleanly picks up the yolk so you can drop it into another bowl. Simple.
AIRLIFT: It may look fragile, thanks to its filmy body covering, but the Aeroscraft prototype vehicle is almost ready to fly. A ground-handling test has demonstrated the rigid variable-buoyancy air vehicle can be controlled from the cockpit and can move without assistance from ground personnel. The Vertical Takeoff and Landing craft is designed to transport oversized freight from its source to where it's needed, such as remote or ecologically-sensitive areas. Better access for freight to fragile ecosystems may not be such a great thing.
SLOW DOWN YOU EAT TOO FAST: Do you eat too fast? The HAPIfork can help you. It's a regular dinner fork with a difference: it monitors and tracks your eating habits and flashes indicator lights when you eat too fast. Connect it via USB to a website or via Bluetooth to an app to help you monitor and change your eating habits. Or maybe use a regular fork and put it down between mouthfuls.
AS YOU LIGHT IT: Just when you really need a torch, like in a disaster, is when you're likely to find you have only the wrong batteries to fit. No problem with Any Battery Light from Panasonic — it takes whatever batteries you have to hand, whether they're AAA or D, even a single AAA battery. The torch uses one battery at a time chosen by turning the lamp end of the light, to drive its energy efficient LEDs. All rechargeables, we hope.
HEDGEHOGS IN SPACE: Rovers have been landed on Mars to explore the planet, and now NASA is starting to look at Phobos, one of the moons around Mars. The Phobos Surveyor spacecraft will carry half a dozen robot rovers that are quite different from the current rovers. The idea is that while the Phobos Surveyor orbits the moon it will deploy spiked, spherical rovers called Hedgehogs, each about 50 cm wide. The rovers will hop, tumble and bound across the moon, gathering and relaying research data. Scientists see studying Phobos as a step along the path to potential human exploration on Mars. A Phobos Surveyor mission could take place within the next decade or two. Inexorably the exploration continues.

The Halachic Adventures of the Potato
Ever since first 'making the scene' via the victorious Spaniards shipping them from the conquered Incas to their own colonies and armies throughout Europe in the late 1500s, the ubiquitous potato has been a considerable mainstay on the world stage. From circumnavigating the globe with Sir Francis Drake, to famed French physician Antoine Parmentier's waxing poetic about this nightshade's nutritional value, to Queen Marie Antoinette wearing a headdress of potato flowers at a fancy ball (obviously while she still had her head), by the 1770s the potato had become a staple crop throughout Europe. What other vegetable has been credited with helping facilitate such diverse events as the Industrial Revolution, the Great Irish Famine of 1845 (due to their susceptibility to blight), Russia's proclivity for vodka, and a U.S. Vice President's public spelling debacle? Yet, aside for the tuber's worldly presence, it also holds a unique place in the annals of Halacha, and not just by its significance in cholent, latkes, and fresh hot potato kugel.
Bracha Brouhaha - Mind Your K's And T's
If one were to take a poll as to the potato's proper bracha (blessing required before eating), the vast majority would respond that since the potato is a vegetable and grows from the ground its proper bracha is "borei pri ha'adama"[1]. Yet, although this seems clear-cut, interestingly, there are those who make a different blessing: shehakol, usually reserved for food items not naturally grown. The source of this remarkable ruling seems to be an enigmatic translation by the Aruch, a contemporary of Rashi (est. 1040). When referring to the proper bracha of mushrooms and other food items that do not actually get their nourishment from the earth and consequentially their bracha being shehakol[2], the Aruch translates them as "Tartuffel"[3]. Not familiar with the archaic word, the Tehilla L'Moshe maintained that the Aruch must have been referring to "Kartuffel", colloquially known as the potato. He added that the great Rav Naftali of Ropshitz made a shehakol on potatoes as well.
This rationale is also found in several other sefarim, and there are prominent authorities who therefore made a shehakol bracha on potatoes[4]. In fact, Sanzer and Kamarna Chassidim follow this custom.
However, the facts do not really corroborate this as potatoes not only grow and root in the ground, but they also get their nourishment from the ground, as opposed to mushrooms and their ilk. Some point out that it is not possible for the Aruch, who lived in Europe in the 11th century, to have meant "Kartuffel", as tubers were unknown on that continent until almost five hundred years later![5] Therefore, the vast majority of authorities rule that the proper blessing on the potato is indeed "borei pri ha'adama"[6].
Kitniyos Clash
Another interesting issue related to the potato is its exclusion from the Askenazic prohibition of eating kitniyos (legumes) on Pesach. Several reasons are given for the actual prohibition[7] including that kitniyos are often stored together with grain and real chametz might actually end up inside the kitniyos container, cooked dishes made from grain and kitniyos look similar, and that kitniyos can be ground up into flour, and a 'bread' can be made from them. Since there are those who will not be able to differentiate between them and their Biblically forbidden chametz counterparts, kitniyos was likewise prohibited.
So how do our spuds measure up? It would seemingly be quite difficult for anyone to mix up potatoes with chametz grain, so that rationale to regard potatoes as kitniyos is out[8]. But, potatoes can be and are made into potato flour and potato starch, and there are those who do bake potato 'bread'! If so, why would potatoes not be considered kitniyos? Shouldn't they be consequentially forbidden for Ashkenazim to partake of on Pesach?
In fact, and not widely known, the Chayei Adam does actually rule this way, and the Pri Megadim mentions that he knows of such a custom, to prohibit potatoes on Pesach as a type of kitniyos[9]. However, the vast majority of authorities rule that potatoes are not any form of kitniyos and are permissible to all on Pesach[10]. The reason for this is that at the time when the Ashkenazic Rishonim established the decree prohibiting kitniyos, potatoes were completely unknown! It is possible that had they been readily available they might have been on the "forbidden list" as well! Yet, since they were never included, and especially as there were those who objected to the kitniyos prohibition in the first place[11], contemporary authorities have no right to add "new types" to the list[12]. As Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach noted[13], Klal Yisrael never accepted the kitniyos prohibition to include potatoes.
Cooking Quarrel
The potato was viewed quite differently by many, respective of the time and place. For example, as noted above, it was prized by French nobility in the 1770s. Yet, by the mid- 1800s tubers were considered peasant fare in many locales, including Ireland and Russia. This divergence of attitude actually has a halachic impact.
If a non-Jew cooks kosher food (from start to finish), it still might be prohibited for a Jew to consume it, based on the prohibition of Bishul Akum, literally - food cooked by a non-Jew. This is a Rabbinic decree meant to combat the plague of assimilation and intermarriage. However, in order for food to be included in this prohibition, it must meet two requirements: be unable to be eaten raw, and it must be 'Oleh Al Shulchan Melachim' - fit for a King's table. Any kosher food cooked by a non-Jew that does not meet these requirements is permitted to be eaten[14].
A common concern is figuring out which foods are considered 'Fit for a King's Table'. The Chayei Adam, who lived in Vilna (located in modern-day Lithuania) in the early 1800s, ruled that potatoes are considered an important food item, fit for nobility[15]. As such, they are 'Fit for a King's Table' and any cooked potato dish must be cooked by a Jew, or else will be prohibited as Bishul Akum.
However, the Aruch Hashulchan, writing in the 1890s in Novardok (located in modern-day Belarus), vigorously disagreed, maintaining that potatoes are food for the common man, and nobles would only partake of them due to the land's overabundance of them, and not due to any inherent importance[16]. He adds that it is entirely possible that in the time and place of the Chayei Adam a potato dish might have been considered important, but by his time, the potato's widespread popularity ensured that it no longer could have been rendered 'Fit for a King's Table', and consequentially is excluded from the Bishul Akum prohibition. It is interesting to note that nowadays potato's relevance is once again a matter of dispute among contemporary authorities regarding this important halacha.[17].
This Spud's For You!
It's amazing how not only our eating habits, but the entire world's, have been changed by this simple vegetable. Can anyone even imagine Shabbos without cholent or kugel, or Chanuka without latkes? The common potato certainly has an uncommon and fascinating history, especially when viewed through the lens of Halacha.

Disclaimer: These are just a few basic guidelines and overview of the Halacha discussed in this article. This is by no means a complete comprehensive authoritative guide, but rather a brief summary to raise awareness of the issue. One should not compare similar cases in order to rules in any real case, but should refer his questions to a competent Halachic authority.
[1]Mishna & Gemara Brachos 35a and Tur / Shulchan Aruch O.C. 203.
[2]See Gemara Brachos 40b.
[3]Aruch (Erech Petter), cited by the Tehilla L'Moshe (Yismach Moshe vol. 3, pg. 12a).
[4]Likutei Mahariach (vol. 1, pg. 127b), Zichron Yehuda (pg. 23b s.v. al esrog, quoting the Maharam Ash), Shulchan HaTahor (204, 3 & Zer Zehav 2), Otzar HaChaim (Parshas VaYelech, Mitzvas Birchas HaNehenin), Pischa Zuta (Birchas HaPesach 12, 3). See Shu"t Divrei Yatziv (O.C. vol. 1, 82) and Shu"t Shraga HaMeir (vol. 6, 119), who staunchly defend the practice of making a shehakol. The Klausenberger Rebbe (Divrei Yatziv ibid. s.v. v'ulam) adds another reason to do so: since one can make flour out of potatoes and potatoes satiate and are filling, it might be considered in the same category of rice, whose proper bracha is mezonos (Mishna Berura 208, 25 and Shaar HaTzion 31). The rule is that if one is unsure what the proper bracha is he should make a shehakol. He therefore opines that potatoes should also be shehakol. The Steipler Gaon (Kraina D'Igresa vol. 2, 88 s.v. v'hadavar) disagrees, maintaining that the Gemara (Brachos 36b - 37a) singled out rice for this halacha of mezonos, and that it does not apply to other foods.
[5]Shu"t B'tzeil HaChochma (vol. 4, 83) and Shu"t Mishneh Halachos (vol. 6, 39 & 40).
[6]Including the Ya'avetz (Siddur Beis Yaakov pg. 108b, 100, 18), Mishna Berura (202, 40), Shu"t Imrei Yosher (vol. 2, 113, 2), Kraina D'Igresa (vol. 2, 88), Shu"t Igros Moshe (O.C. vol. 1, 60), Shu"t B'tzeil HaChochma (vol. 4, 83), Shu"t Rivevos Efraim (vol. 3, 124), Shu"t Mishneh Halachos (vol. 6, 39 & 40), Shu"t Az Nidberu (vol. 11, 48), Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur Shulchan Aruch O.C. 203, 10), Orchos Chaim (Spinka 204, 2), Darkei Chaim V'Shalom (293), Shvilei David (O.C. Klalei Brachos, 5, Ch. 2, 14), and Shalmei Nissan (on Perek Keitzad Mevorchin, Haaros 99, pg. 314 - 315) .
[7]See O.C. 473, 1 inBeis Yosef and Rema and major commentaries - Gr"a (5), Chok Yaakov (5 & 6), Shaarei Teshuva (1), Shulchan Aruch HaRav (3, 4, & 5), Mishna Berura (6), and Biur Halacha (s.v. v'yesh).
[8]Halichos Shlomo (Moadim vol. 2, Pesach Ch. 4, Dvar Halacha 28).
[9]Chayei Adam (Nishmas Adam, Hilchos Pesach, Question 20) and Pri Megadim (O.C. 453 M.Z. 1). However, the Pri Megadim himself rules that potatoes are not Kitniyos (O.C. 464 E.A. 1).
[10]Pri Megadim (O.C. 464 E.A. 1), Shu"t Sheilas Ya'avetz (vol. 2, 147, 4 s.v. u'vhiyosi), Shu"t Divrei Malkiel (vol. 2, end 112; he adds an additional reason to be lenient: potato flour doesn't look like grain flour and has a different consistency, therefore mitigating potential mix-ups), Aruch Hashulchan (O.C. 453, 5; he adds that with the advent of potatoes one should never have to rely on the hetter of permitting Kitniyos b'shaas hadchak), Kaf Hachaim (O.C. 453, 21), Shu"t Igros Moshe (O.C. vol. 3, 63), Halichos Shlomo (ibid.).
[11]See Beis Yosef (beg. O.C. 453), quoting Rabbeini Yerucham, who called the Kitniyos prohibition a "minhag shtus", and Rabbeinu Yechiel. The prohibition is also noticeably missing from the works of the Tur. The Ya'avetz (Mor U'Ketzia beg. O.C. 453) famously declared that if he had the ability to cancel the prohibition he would, as it mostly affects the poor.
[12]Shu"t Sheilas Ya'avetz (vol. 2, 147, 4 s.v. u'vhiyosi), Shu"t Igros Moshe (O.C. vol. 3, 63), similar to the rule set by the Chok Yaakov (O.C. 453, 9).
[13]Halichos Shlomo (Moadim vol. 2, Pesach Ch. 4, Dvar Halacha 28). However, Rav Shlomo Zalman personally was stringent with potato flour (ad loc. footnote 109). It is known that the Badatz Eida Chareidis of Yerushalayim were also stringent until the renowned Minchas Yitzchak became the Ga'avad and ruled that there was no reason to be machmir, even with potato starch.
[14]See Tur/ Shulchan Aruch Y"D 113 and relevant commentaries for all related halachos of Bishul Akum.
[15]Chochmas Adam (66, 4).
[16]Aruch Hashulchan (Y"D 113, 18). Interestingly, and although written more than a century earlier, and in Germany, the Ya'avetz (Shu" Sheilas Ya'avetz ibid.) also wrote that potatoes are exclusively "peasant fare"; similar to the Aruch Hashulchan's assertion.
[17]The Maharsham (Shu"t vol. 2, 262) maintains that in his time (1890s, Berezhan, modern-day Ukraine), a cooked potato was considered "Oleh Al Shulchan Melachim', however, if it was roasted it was not, and would not fall under the issur of Bishul Akum. The Debreciner Rav (Shu"t Ba'er Moshe vol. 4, 49) understands this to include potatoes roasting in oil (frying), and adds that nowadays, they would definitely not be 'fit for a king's table'. Other contemporary authorities are even more lenient - the Yaskil Avdi (Shu"t vol. 7, Y"D 6, 4, 4) seems to accept the Aruch Hasulchan's position that standard potatoes are not 'Olah Al Shulchan Melachim'. However, the Shevet HaLevi (Shu"t vol. 6, 108, 4, s.v. u'm"m; see also vol. 10, 124 where he is machmir even for potato chips) and Rav Moshe Sternbuch (Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos vol. 1, 438), are machmir for the Chochmas Adam's opinion and maintain that nowadays potatoes can be considered 'Olah Al Shulchan Melachim' and even by fried potatoes, one should be machmir. See also Emes L'Yaakov (on Shulchan Aruch, Y"D 113, footnote 42) and Shu"t Igros Moshe (Y"D vol. 4, 48, 5) who seem to rule that potato chips and French fries are 'Olah Al Shulchan Melachim', but for a different reason (they do seem to accept that nowadays potatoes are chashuv). However, see Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi (vol. 1, Birurei Halacha, 25) who maintains that fried and roasted potatoes are in no way nowadays considered 'Olah Al Shulchan Melachim', and explains at length that Rav Moshe and Rav Yaakov would certainly agree.
Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive guide, rather a brief summary to raise awareness of the issues. In any real case one should ask a competent Halachic authority.

I have to say panthercat that that is the most original, and in some cases even more applicable defintiion of the term politics. But the etimology of the term is actually less colorful I'm afraid. It basically comes from the Greek word Polis meaning city or state, thus politics is anything concerning the state. I do like your definition though. I will have to remember that one. Again, thanks for accepting my invite.

Good luck with the degree, but try as I might, I've never seen the science in politics. Perhaps someday you could quantify the degrees of mud slinging to rectify that. Remember the definition of politics: poli = many; tics = blood sucking creatures.

Waikato coach Chris Gibbes has made eight changes to his starting XV for Wednesday's Ranfurly Shield challenge against Taranaki.
Waikato head coach Chris Gibbes has made eight changes for Wednesday's Ranfurly Shield challenge against Taranaki at Yarrow Stadium.
Up front, prop Toby Smith and hooker Marcel Cummings-Toone make a return from injury, as does Romana Graham in the second-row.
Loose forward Matt Vant Leven is also back.
There is a change to the halves combination with Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Sam Christie into the line-up at scrum-half and fly-half respectively.
Tim Mikkelson returns to the wing and Trent Renata is back in the number 15 jersey.
Gibbes said his team is preparing well for the shield challenge.
"We showed a lot of character in our win over Tasman and we will take confidence from that performance into this game," he said.
Waikato will be hoping to write another chapter in their proud Ranfurly Shield history.
"Ranfurly Shield games are easy to get motivated for and the players are all excited about the opportunity," Gibbes said.
"This is Waikato's first crack at the shield since 2007 so we are itching to get down to New Plymouth and get stuck in."
Meanwhile, Jarrad Hoeata returns to the Taranaki pack, with loose forwards Kane Barrett and Blade Thomson bracketed.
With the short turnaround from Saturday's 59-18 win over Manawatu, Taranaki coach Colin Cooper has opted for a five-two split on the reserves bench.
"We're expecting a torrid time up front. There's a lot on the game for both teams. They're desperate for the win and we need the win to hold on to the Shield," Cooper revealed.
"We're not even looking ahead. The Shield is the number one priority."
The teams:
Taranaki: 15 Kurt Baker, 14 Andre Taylor, 13 Willie Rickards, 12 Jayden Hayward, 11 Frazier Climo, 10 James Marshall, 9 Jamison Gibson-Park, 8 Blade Thomson/Kane Barrett, 7 Chris Walker, 6 Jarrad Hoeata, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Craig Clarke (capt), 3 Michael Bent, 2 Laurence Corlett, 1 Chris King.
Replacements: 16 Timo Tutavaha, 17 Carl Carmichael, 18 James Broadhurst, 19 Kane Barrett/Blade Thomson, 20 Bernie Hall, 21 Brett Goodin, 22 Jack Cameron.
Waikato: 15 Trent Renata,14 Declan O'Donnell, 13 Save Tokula, 12 Jackson Willison, 11 Tim Mikkelson, 10 Sam Christie, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Alex Bradley (c), 7 Zak Hohneck, 6 Matt Vant Leven, 5 Sam Kilgour, 4 Romana Graham, 3 Ben May, 2 Marcel Cummings-Toone, 1 Toby Smith.

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Second Tone
When Thou didst descend unto death, O Life Immortal, then didst Thou slay Hades with the lightning of Thy Divinity. And when Thou didst also raise the dead out of the nethermost depths, all the powers in the Heavens cried out: O Life-giver, Christ our God, glory be to Thee.

From a female perspective, it totally makes sense to use your jeans as a gauge for how much you have gained — or lost — before you slide into your favorite go-to skinny, straight leg or even wide leg denim jeans. Do you have more of a muffin-top, or do the jeans sag in the back a bit? According to a new — and might I say super cool — survey conducted by Kellogg's Special K Brand cereals, "women often reward themselves with a new pair of jeans for hitting a dieting and weight goal. Women in Canada (85 percent), Korea (82 percent) and the U.S. (79 percent) are more likely than those in other countries to say they'd reward themselves with new jeans.
Here are some other key findings:

The Utah State University Extension Services of Emery and Carbon counties held their 4-H Day Camp at Bear Creek Campground in Huntington Canyon. Their theme was "Superheroes-find the superhero in you."
Ellen Serfustini of the Carbon County Extension said, "There was a movie called Sky High. In the movie the superhero had a disability and we wanted to teach these campers that anything is possible even for a person with a disability."
All of the days activities were centered around superheroes and accomplishing things by working together or relying on your own capacities. In one game, the daredevil obstacle course, the participants were blindfolded and had to complete the course, sometimes as a team with another camper.
For the other games and activities, they wore earplugs, were not allowed to speak, or had one of their legs tied up. The campers got an eye opener as to what could be accomplished by a person with a disability, and how a team works. They had a rain gutter regatta, three legged races, and played card games. They also did a project centered around Lava Girl where they built volcanoes.
The craft project for the day was for the campers to make a mirror to take home. Around the mirror, they glued pinecones and decorations. Engraved on the mirror was "Who I am makes a difference." The 4-H groups service project was to sand blocks that would be sent to orphanages.
Leaders for the day camp were: Dennis Worwood, Christine Jensen and Gaylene Gillespie of Emery County and Ron Patterson, Ellen Serfustini and Kathie Thayn of Carbon County. Thirty two campers participated in the day camp.

Kent State University profession John Hoornbeek has been studying government collaborative efforts for quite a while and has completed a list of area efforts large and small.
The following news release announces a milestone in his progress.
Kent State Develops Northeast Ohio Local Government Collaborative Inventory
Project aims to improve efficiency and foster collaboration between government entities
Intergovernmental collaboration provides opportunities for cost savings, economic development and local government service improvement. Kent State University's Center for Public Administration and Public Policy has developed a comprehensive inventory of more than 240 collaborative projects that are actively happening or are being explored as ideas for possible implementation in Northeast Ohio. Today, the center is releasing more than 100 ideas for collaboration that are drawn from this inventory on the Kent State website at www.kent.edu/intergovernmentalcollaboration.
"The goal here is to help share ideas about local government collaboration and its potential for cost savings and public service improvements," said John Hoornbeek, director of the Center for Public Administration and Public Policy at Kent State. The listing of collaborative ideas has emerged from research conducted at Kent State over the past several years.
"In the coming weeks, we plan to release additional information that may be used by state and local leaders to improve public sector efficiency and effectiveness," Hoornbeek added.
The collaborative ideas released today will be sent to Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost's office for inclusion in its Shared Services Idea Center at www.auditor.state.oh.us/sharedservices/default.htm. The Fund for Our Economic Future, which provided funding support for portions of the work, may also use the information to support its efforts to improve local government collaboration in Northeast Ohio.
"The Center for Public Administration and Public Policy at Kent State has a 30-year history of working with local governments to help them improve their capacities and performance," said Iris Harvey, vice president of University Relations at Kent State. "Northeast Ohio's innovative leaders have been forging the trail for others, and what is being learned here may be applied to other parts of the state."
Some key findings emerging from the center's work include:
• In Northeast Ohio, there are a number of early adaptors and innovators in the field of intergovernmental collaboration. Many of these leaders began pursuing collaborative solutions before announcement of the impending cuts in state funding for local governments.
• Many of the local government collaboration efforts are moving beyond the stage of talk to action and implementation. Of the more than 240 ideas in the current inventory, 58 percent are in the process of moving forward.
• Participants in surveys and focus groups are voicing a need for information, assistance and tools to help them transform local government through collaboration. The needs expressed include case studies, education and networking opportunities to enable peer learning, research and education to foster effective collaborations and funding for feasibility assessments.
Recent efforts by leaders in Ohio suggest that intergovernmental collaboration can improve efficiency by sharing costs on supplies and equipment through group purchasing, and it can improve services by sharing resources, staff, or specialty equipment.
"As local governments experience declining revenues due to the impacts of state funding reductions and the recent recession, it becomes critical to find new, more efficient and more effective ways to operate," Hoornbeek said.
Other Ohio organizations have been developing ways to assist local governments in making the kinds of transformations that are needed to improve governance and move the state forward in the 21st century. Advance Northeast Ohio, an economic development initiative of the Fund for Our Economic Future, also seeks to improve government efficiency and effectiveness. In 2009 and 2010, it provided financial incentives and recognition for local governments in Northeast Ohio to collaborate through its EfficientGovNow initiative.
"We work collaboratively with the state auditor's office, the Fund for Our Economic Future and other organizations," Hoornbeek said. "For example, our center has worked closely with the state auditor's office in the development of its Shared Services Idea Center, and we have also worked closely with the Fund for Our Economic Future on its Efficient Government Now program. Both of these efforts are seeking to improve local government efficiency and effectiveness."
Valuable ideas and best practices are emerging from the efforts of these organizations and officials -- particularly in Northeast Ohio.
"Kent State is playing a leading role in furthering collaboration and in developing a knowledge base to enable progress in Ohio," Harvey said.
The findings released today also were supported by the Knight Foundation through its Civic Commons Initiative.

Comments: I have run in Ride's for years (since the Ride 2). However, this shoe is just too narrow and too small for me. I generally wear an 11 or 11.5, but this model, even the 12s are just too small. Unfortunately I had to switch. I now run in the Brooks Ghost 6, which i love.
