.So, our NBA announcer punched the guy and called him some not very nice names. Well, no one ever accused the announcer of being gay friendly.

See in the hockey world we'd just respond with pictures of Sad Patrick Burke if an NHL announcer were to do this. Sad Patrick Burke shuts up homophobes pretty quickly, or at least makes them more private about their bigotry. (We're not perfect though, sexism is pretty rampant).
Side-note for those who watch hockey: I have such a crush on Burkie. It's ridiculous. Fan-girling out over here.ReplyCancel

@Sherry Patrick Burke may be too common of a name, but you'll def find him if you add "you can play."
If you're interested there is a wonderful article on YCP, homophobia in sports, and the Burke family by John Buccigross called "We Love You, This Won't Change a Thing."
Patrick Burke is, in my opinion, just an incredible brother and human being. And it's not enough that he challenged an entire national sports league to confront it's internalized homophobia, and then started helping every other sport do the same, it's that he did it for his kid brother because he couldn't.ReplyCancel
NBA announcer? That is a category? Is that important?

Twilight Tour
Travel like a vampire with our Twilight tour. From the official Twilight town, Forks, WA, to the ancient Italian city, Volterra, see the locations from the popular saga.
Forks, WashingtonForks, WA, a sleepy small town in the Pacific Northwest, sprang to life with the Twilight phenomenon. The rainiest town in the US, averaging 212 days of rain a year, was the perfect setting for author Stephenie Meyer to base her Twilight book series. Where else would a family of sun-fearing vampires live? 960 1280
Forks, Twilight TownThe Twilight craze breathed new life into the town of Forks, WA. "Twihards" from around the world flock to this wet town on the Olympic Peninsula to see the locations from the books and films. Forks, a 3-stoplight town, welcomes fans to explore its darker side, embracing its official "Twilight" town status. 960 1280
The Cullen HouseThe Miller Tree Inn in Forks, WA, is named the "Cullen House" by the town of Forks. While it resembles the book's description of the Cullen's home, it looks nothing like the movie version. That doesn't stop fans from relishing in the Twilight theme here, with innkeepers who speak "Twilight" and Twilight memorabilia scattered throughout the inn. 960 1280
La Push Beach, WashingtonLa Push, a mere 12 miles from Forks, is home to the Quileute people. In the Twilight saga, Jacob and his wolf pack hail from the reservation. Whether you're on Team Jacob or Team Edward, La Push is worth a visit to see some of the most stunning beaches on the Olympic Peninsula. 960 1280
Volterra, ItalyThe ancient Italian city Volterra is where the powerful vampires Volturi reside in the Twilight saga. In the film version of Twilight's New Moon, the Volterra scenes were actually filmed in the Italian town Montepulciano. Vampire-scouting aside, both are charming towns that should be part of any Tuscany tour, thanks to their medieval architecture and some of the best wine tasting in Italy. 960 1280
Jacob's JavaLa Push's Quileute people welcome the new interest in their tribe as a result of the Twilight craze. In the saga, Jacob leads young Quileute men who shapeshift into wolves and are tasked with guarding the reservation from vampires. Fans can stop by Jacob's Java espresso stand in La Push for a cup of famous Washington coffee and perhaps a little werewolf scouting. 960 1280
Hoh Rain ForestThe Hoh Rain Forest, lying outside the town of Forks, WA, can get up to 12 feet of rain a year, earning the status of one of the wettest spots in the world. The gloomy skies and towering trees (over 200 feet high and 500 years old) make it the perfect setting for vampire and werewolf battles in Twilight. 960 1280
Denali, AlaskaVegetarian vampires? They exist in this vampire saga. In Twilight, humans are safe from the Denali coven that dwell in Denali, AL. With a large supply of game in the Denali National Park, the Denali vampires feast on wild animals versus humans. With six million acres of stunning wilderness, Denali appeals to us for its lack of humans, too. 960 1280
Port Angeles, WashingtonIn Twilight, Port Angeles is the often the small-town escape for teenagers in Forks -- whether to watch a movie, shop for prom dresses or to have their first date with a vampire. Located in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, Port Angeles gets significantly less rain than other areas of Washington -- hardly good news for sun-fearing vampires traveling through here. 960 1280
Paraty, BrazilIf you were a vampire who'd just gotten married, where would you go on your honeymoon? A private island in Brazil, of course. While the book's Isle Esme is fictional, the Breaking Dawn film was shot in Paraty, Brazil. You can even rent the house in Paraty, where Bella and Edward's honeymoon scene was filmed, for a mere $4,000 a day. The romantic paradise can only be accessed by boat or helicopter; it even has its own private beach. 960 1280

And what an adventure it is -- from jumping out of a helicopter off the coast of Greenland to skateboarding down Iceland's Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Iceland is taking advantage of the film's inspiring scenes and is offering Walter Mitty Tours of film locations, skateboards not included. 960 1280
The Great Gatsby, Long Island, NYThis much-buzzed-about Baz Luhrmann film adaptation of literary classic The Great Gatsby spurred a huge interest this year in Long Island's Gold Coast, where Gatsby lived in his lavish West Egg mansion. Everyone went gaga for Gatsby this year, including New York's iconic Plaza Hotel, which invited guests to travel "ceaselessly back into the past" of the opulent Jazz era with their new Gatsby-inspired Fitzgerald Suite. 960 1280
Hunger Games: Catching Fire, HawaiiThe second installment in the Hunger Games trilogy, Hunger Games: Catching Fire , is doing just that in tourism. Fans are following Katniss' footsteps traveling to filming locations on Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii. The dense jungles and natural beaches there were the backdrop for 75th Hunger Games battle-to-the-death. And Kawela Bay, minutes from Turtle Bay resort (where cast stayed during filming), served as the saltwater lake Quell arena in the film. 960 1280
Big Sur, Big SurBased on a Jack Kerouac novel, Sundance film Big Sur portrays the rugged and evocative beauty of California's Central Coast. You can't watch the film and not imagine hopping in your car to take a road trip down winding Pacific coast highways, complete with the sun on your face and the wind whipping through your hair. Donning a pair of Beat-inspired dark shades wouldn't hurt, either. 960 1280
Gravity, Space TravelAfter watching Sandra Bullock adrift in space in Gravity, the idea of space travel becomes even more intriguing. Luckily, for those that have the budget, Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic is set to make its inaugural flight to space in 2014. For a mere $250,000, you can finally realize your dream of being an astronaut and travel to the final frontier. 960 1280

Inside Llewyn Davis, NYCFilm and music lovers can't get enough of Inside Llewyn Davis, the Coen Brothers film that follows the 1960s folk scene in New York's Greenwich Village. Take the "Greenwich Village Rock Tour" to walk the streets and visit the bars that your favorite musicians, like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, once did. Warning: desire to break out in song likely. 960 1280
Before Midnight, GreeceGreece isn't a hard sell when it comes to travel. We are reminded of why this Mediterranean paradise is such a hot spot in Before Midnight, the "threequel" to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. The filming location of Messenia in the southwest Peloponnese Peninsula has been off the radar for tourists. Until this film came out, of course. Sorry, Santorini and Mykonos, we have fallen in love again. 960 1280
Adore, AustraliaAdore, an Australian film about 2 old friends falling in love with each other's son is a provocative tale. And the beaches where it was filmed are just as shocking … in how stunningly beautiful they are. Seal Rocks in New South Wales was the setting for the small town coastal paradise where the son swapping takes place, but the film had us lusting after any beach Down Under. 960 1280
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, South AfricaThe passing of Nelson Mandela and the release of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, a biopic about Mandela's struggle to free South Africa, brings even more interest to the places that played an important role in his life.

Anna KareninaWhile this film version shows very little of Russia or its famous landmarks (much of the action takes place on a theatre stage), it still inspires opulent travel of the old world sort. The scenes of Anna Karenina traveling in a lavish train car through the snow-covered open landscapes of Russia leave us dreaming of a similar trip: a luxury train ride on the Trans-Siberian Railroad, touring historic St. Petersburg and dynamic Moscow. 960 1280

Keep the spontaneity theme going -- but skip the hitchhiking. 960 1280
SkyfallWe've been envious of James Bond's spy life ever since his exotic travels to Thailand in The Man with the Golden Gun and Sardinia in The Spy Who Loved Me.

you are right. To a great degree we have lost, but one must never give up hope that the little spark of Judaism within each one of us will come out. I try to act appropriately at my job so that my non-Jewish and Jewish non-religious co-workers see how a frum Jew can act (I try my best since it is an awesome task). My husband and I have tried to instill important Jewish values to our children and can only hope that they will perpetuate these values on to the next generation.

No, we've won that war.
Fortunately, in this country (America) the government would not and cannot try to do what Antiochus Epiphanes did. Our Constitution forbids it, and most Americans would resist such an attempt. Your cry that we are losing the "war on Chanukah" reminds me of the (so-called) Christian right's phony "war on Christmas". Please don't ape their example.

A previous post explained how to search the catalog by family name. Another useful strategy is to search the catalog by county since many records, including genealogy society publications, are cataloged this way.
In the "Search For" field, enter: county name county (state abrev.). For example, try: cuyahoga county (ohio). Select "Subject" in the "Search By" field. Click on the "Search" button. Using the word county after the name will help narrow the results.
A list of subject headings will be displayed and you'll notice that the list further divides the results into topics such as biography, genealogy, history, maps, etc. The number of items cataloged under each subject heading is shown to the left. Click on the entry you are most interested in and a list of the library's holdings will be displayed. Click on the individual title to get the full bibliographic record.
Here are a few other tips:
- The genealogy subdivision will include items such as indexes of vital records, abstracts of wills, cemetery transcriptions, etc.
- The catalog is not case sensitive.
- State abbreviations in library catalogs are not always the same as the two-digit postal service abbreviation (for example, Conn. instead of CT or Ill instead of IL).

Pardy vs. Vandermeer
Kent Wilson
March 23 2009 10:56AM
A lot of issues afflict the Flames currently: the goaltending, the penalty killing, the injuries.
Another (admittedly minor) point of contention is Jim Vandermeer playing instead of rookie Adam Pardy. The former is older, more battle tested and more expensive, but there's a growing perception that Pardy might actually be the better player.
First the qualitative: I think Pardy has the higher ceiling but is prone to greater variance in his performance. Sometimes he'll look very capable at both ends of the rink - and sometimes he'll pass the puck onto the oppositions stick resulting in a break-away (he's done that twice this season - both times with McElhinney in net). When he's "on" though, I like him more than Vandermeer - he's more mobile and better with the puck on his stick.
For his part, Vandy is tough and relatively steady. He's probably the second slowest skater on the team behind Aucoin and his puck handling and passing abilities are suspect. He's willing to drop the gloves if need be (although he almost always gets pummeled when he does).
Now, to the numbers -
Adam Pardy
Quality of Comp: -0.03
Quality of teammates: 0.07
+10 corsi, 0.87 ESP/60, 2.96 GFON/60, 2.52 GAON/60
Jim Vandermeer
Quality of Comp: -0.07
Quality of Teammates: -0.03
+9.2 corsi, 0.53 ESP/60, 3.05 GFON/60, 2.92 GA/60
Skewing these numbers is the fact that Vandermeer has played on the Flames 4th line a couple of times this year. That's likely why his quality of comp. and team. are so out of line with Pardy's even though they've both basically played the same role on the back-end all year.
Pardy is nominally the better player according to his advanced ES stats, but there isn't a lot separate the two. As added context, here's how the percentages have worked out for each guy so far this season.
Pardy: .914 ES SV%, 9.2 SH%, 100.6 PDO
Vandermeer: .892 ES SV%, 10.2 SH%, 99.4 PDO
Neither guy is too far off the mean, but we can probably say that Pardy has been luckier than Vandermeer this season - especially considering that SV% which is a couple clicks above the club's average (.909 - did I mention goaltending is an issue?).
So it looks like a lot of the difference between their underlying stats can be assigned to bounces. Their corsi rates are also very similar. Functionally, it looks like these two guys are basically the same player, except one is 29 and costs the club 2.3M in cap space while the other is a 24 year old rookie worth 500k. Personally, I would play the rookie - he's a better bet to improve and outperform his contract - but it terms of short term loss or gain, playing one over the other is probably moot.
I didn't realize how close they were. I think I would give Pardy the edge on defence considering that these numbers include his very first games in the NHL: those pull his numbers down a bit from what his actual performance level is.
But I'm pretty satisfied with Pardy playing a fourth line role. I'd rather see him on defense, but what really pisses me off is seeing him benched. Benching players with an upside seems like a huge waste of resources to me.
Pardy was coming on great early in the season and kind of backed off a bit as is common with young defencemen. Given more time in the saddle he shall either sink or swim with all indications being swim. Frankly he overworks the game a bit. His offensive upside is way higher than vandy IMO. If keenan has a vandy preference that would be erring on the side of caution. In a conference full of speedy wingers vandy is in over his head in many instances, his positional play minimizes those situations which comes with a bit of experience. Pardy did draw a few shifts on forward vs the blues which was a bit weird but hey.... that evil genius guy does have the odd quirk. Bergeron in Minny is a give away machine and has been in the league for a while... note to pardy... work on your one timer kid.
Clearly with the league getting more and more pussified the dman gig gets tougher and tougher so having superior skating skills should be your ticket up the food chain.
Excellent analysis Kent!
It could be bounces that have Pardy with the higher on ice SV%, OR it could be that Pardy tends to keep the opposition to lower quality shots. We can't say which direction the effect is going.

Maybe. But the fact that Pardy's SV% is higher than the mean makes me think he's gotten a bit lucky this year. Vic had a post on this issue awhile ago and it showed individual defensemen seem to have a fairly negligible effect on their goalies SV% over time (something like + 0.003 for second pairing guys was the biggest effect).

Wolves Take Wild One, Get Back in Win Column
Dimitri Filipovic
October 27 2012 08:53PM
Eddie Lack debuted his spiffy new gear tonight.
The Wolves came into this tilt against San Antonio with a two-game losing streak, which was a cause for no concern because of the manner in which they had lost both games. They had completely fallen apart in the final period, collectively imploding. Coming into this one the Rampage weren't exactly lighting the world on fire, either, holding a 2-2-1 record (good for last place in a stacked South division). In hindsight, we should have expected them to struggle without the calming presence of Tim Duncan.
This was a wild game, which featured a flurry of goals from both teams. The Wolves blew a three goal lead in the third period, but a late goal from Jordan Schroeder - which made it 6-5 - allowed them to hang onto a much needed 2 points, getting back in the win column.
Read Past the Jump for Notes on the Game.
Given the lockout - and in turn, the presence of higher-end prospects - the AHL has been much more prevalent this fall. It can't replace the void left by the NHL, but it's doing a decent impersonation. Once the calendar came out, I circled a few teams to keep my eye on. Obviously the Oklahoma City Barons (who for all intensive purposes are the Oilers), and Rochester Americans (Cody Hodgson and Co.) were at the top of the list, but so were the San Antonio Rampage.
Even though I don't believe Roberto Luongo will be granted his wish of going to Florida, they're still one of the more realistic options around. Obviously if a trade were to happen, the Canucks would not be receiving any of the upper echelon prospects that the Panthers boast in their system.
But that's okay, because they're contain one of the deepest prospect pools in the entire league. The Rampage feature strong prospects such as Drew Shore, Quinton Howden (originally a Canucks pick, actually), Alex Petrovic, and Jacob Markstrom. And that makes them a team worth watching.
-As always, there were a handful of lineup changes for the Wolves from last night's game. Yann Sauve, Chris Tanev, Tim Miller, Brett Sterling and Alex Mallet got the night off, while Anton Rodin, Alex Friesen, Brad Hunt, Peter Andersson, and Guillaume 'The Anchor' Desbens were put back in the fold.
-As the Wolves started the game with Pinizzotto-Longpre-Kassian, I sent out a tweet questioning the logic behind splitting up Kassian and Ebbett. They seemed to be developing a beautiful chemistry in recent games. I was reminded why I'm not the coach rather quickly, though, when Kassian opened the scoring less than a minute in. He came in off of the left wing, and fired the puck by Markstrom up high.
Later on, Kassian had a beautiful sequence where he took the puck off the half board, and used a spin move to get position on the defender as he took the puck to the net. Every time I watch him play, I'm reminded more and more of Todd Bertuzzi. And it's scaring me.
-Derek Joslin truly is to Scott Arniel what Aaron Rome used to be to Alain Vigneault. I can't believe how much the Wolves are riding this guy. He's fine, but he provides no real future value, and he really brings nothing to the table. I guess you could say I'm not a fan.
-Michael Davies made it 2-0 for the Wolves (in only his 2nd game since being called up from the ECHL), before the Rampage cut it back down to 1. Neither of the goals were all that noteworthy, so I won't elaborate.
-Anton Rodin, my goodness. He absolutely lit up one of the opposing players, with a clean shoulder check. So far this season we have been pumping the fact that Rodin has looked much stronger so far this season, and it's showing. There is no way he would have been able to do that last season.
-After a fast-paced, scoring chance-filled first period - which the Wolves dominated, winning the scoring chance battle 11-4 - the second period seemed like it was headed towards being an absolute snoozer. The Wolves repeatedly shot themselves in the foot, taking six consecutive penalties, and weren't able to muster any sort of offense for a large chunk of the period.
Fortunately, the combination of an inept Rampage power play (for the time being), and a few key saves by Eddie Lack kept the game at a 2-2 score. Which proved to be huge, because the floodgates opened in the final four minutes. After Kevin Connauton got his first of the season, Billy Sweatt scored to make it 4-2. With time expiring in the second, Andrew Gordon scored a goal that was nearly identical to the one scored by Sweatt, proving that good things really do come in threes.
-The Wolves continued their poor third period play again tonight. Last night I mentioned that 13 of the 14 goals they had surrendered on the season had come in the final frame. It took the Rampage only 7 minutes to score three power play goals, tying the game back up.
Crisis was averted when Michael Davies set up Jordan Schroeder for the game winning goal with just under 3 minutes left in the game. Schroeder, who was scoreless in the first five games of the season, now has goals in back-to-back games. The Wolves avoided taking any penalties in the final minutes, and took the game by a score of 6-5.
The entire game was awfully weird, but hey, sometimes hockey is weird.
Fun with Numbers:
1: Kevin Connauton and Andrew Gordon both scored their first goals of the season tonight. Connauton lit the lamp 13 times last season, while Gordon scored 65 goals from '09-'11 for Hershey.
4: The number of power play goals the Wolves surrendered. They were a man short 10 times on the night, including a stretch in the second period where they committed six straight infractions. They won't win too many games following that formula.
5: Is the number of times Jacob Markstrom and Eddie Lack had squared off prior to tonight, with Markstrom holding a 5-0 record against his former back-up at Brynas IF. I'm sure The Stork enjoyed this one.
30: The Wolves entered this game with the 30th ranked power play, going just 1-28, good for 3.6%. And nothing changed, as they failed to tally a power play goal once again.
I personally think the problem was not so much that the Wolves "blew it" in the third as that they were simply exhausted by all the PKing they had to do in the second and first half of the third - ten straight times short-handed in about a period and a half will do that to a team.
Good article,but we'd sure like to see some video, like the KHL!

@Matt because of the quality of AHL live. The video wouldn't be very good to watch.

protect your bike
By Steph the cyclist
from Central CA
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Comments about Sportrack International SportRack Universal Upright Roof Bike Carrier:
Not only would I not recommend to a friend, I wouldn't recommend to an enemy!I bought this because my old arm clamp style rack by the Sports Rack had finally kicked the bucket and I had to transport my road bike to a race last weekend. I wanted to get a different style but I was short on cash and this looked similar to what I had used in the past. Don't be fooled Sports Rack designed this assuming you don't give a flip about your bike.I will be returning this thing as soon as I can get it off my car and back in the box. The rack is not long enough to accommodate a regular (51cm) road bike and still have the tire cup in the front. This is annoying and left me having to strap my front wheel in place with foam so it wouldn't jiggle The arm clamp was terrifying. Basically the arm has two pieces of plastic that are supposed to wrap around the down tube. In order to install your bike to this thing, you have to turn a knob till it tightens around the tube. 1. There is ZERO padding. So to protect my bike I had to use fabric to around the down tube. 2. In order to fit around the down tube I had to undo the knob from the mechanism, making the whole thing awkward to install. 3. Once in place, The clamp never got 'tight'. It just got to a point where the knob continued to spin. Had I not used fabric to pad the down tube it would have flopped all over the place. My bike would have never made the three hour drive. Don't buy this cheap piece of garbage. I'll be spending the money to get a decent bike carrier next round.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good rack for the price; good Nashbar product support.
By UncleBobbyBikeRider
from New Hampshire
About Me Avid Cyclist
First, let me compliment Nashbar product support: the rack arrived minus any of the hardware required to attach it to the vehicle. One call to Nashbar product support and it was on the way and arrived in a couple of days, so I was able to use the rack when needed.The rack itself was easy to assemble and seems to be well designed, but the included hardware is questionable. The spring between the bike support arms broke when I installed it; no biggie, they had better ones at the local hardware store. The straps that are supposed to hold the bike wheels to the tray looked cheap and weak, so I used a couple of old toe straps that worked fine. Time will tell if the bolts and nuts that hold the rack together are rust-prone; they have stainless ones at the hardware store too.The rack seems easy to use; the bike is easy to mount and seems to be held securely; I've driven several hundred miles with a couple of different bikes and have had no problems. I have the round Yakima crossbars on my Prius and the whole rack was easy to mount on those.I would definitely buy this rack again. For the money, especially with a discount, it seems to be good. Don't know if it is sturdy enough to take a bike off-roading on a Jeep, but for transporting bikes on normal roads, it works fine.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Bike rack

The product came in a box that was very damaged and no instructions. I had to search on line to find them and they were not very helpful.The rack is hard to use and takes too much time to load and unload a bike.

Louis Vuitton Architecture And Interiors
Back in 1854 a guy named Louis figured out it was a good idea to create flat trunks, because they stack nicely. If only he could have imagined what he had started. Nowadays brilliant books are published on the architectural splendor and unique interiors that can be found all over the world. Basically every relevant city has a mind-blowing Louis Vuitton building. Or should we say, a city is relevant the moment it has a Louis Vuitton building? One thing never changes: no matter how impressive the building, no matter how luxurious the interior, there's always that leading role for that bulky stackable trunk. Well done, Louis.

Planning to relocate or settle down? When you think about where you'd be happiest, Riverside, Calif., Philadelphia, and Phoenix probably aren't the first places that come to mind. But as it turns out, these three cities are where some of nation's most satisfied young professionals live and work.
That's according to CareerBliss.com, an online career site that just released its list of the 10 happiest cities for young professionals, based on analysis from more than 45,000 employee generated reviews between April 2012 and March 2013. Yahoo! Homes is publishing the top five here; to see the rest of the top 10, visit Forbes.com:
Young professionals, defined by CareerBliss as employees with less than 10 years' experience in a full-time position, were asked to evaluate ten factors that affect workplace happiness. Those include one's relationship with the boss and co-workers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and control over the work one does on a daily basis.
They then valued each factor on a five-point scale, and also indicated how important it was to their overall happiness at work. The numbers were combined to find an average rating of overall employee happiness for each respondent, and then sorted by location to find which cities had the happiest young employees.
"The new generation of young professionals not only finds happiness at work important–they demand it," says CareerBliss chief executive Heidi Golledge. "If a company wants to find and retain the best talent, they need to work on building a culture of happiness within their organization."
She says young employees tend to keep their resumes active on job boards just in case something more fulfilling comes along, and they are typically two to three times more likely than their parents to jump jobs for more career happiness. "In short, they take the right to pursuit happiness to heart and will typically not stay at a job with poor conditions for very long," Golledge says. "They will even relocate to get out of an unhappy work environment."
If you're one of those young professionals looking to move to a happier place, you might consider San Jose.
Heading the list of the cities with the happiest young professionals, San Jose, Calif., earned an overall score of 3.94 out of 5. Workers there expressed the most optimism in 'The People You Work With' and 'The Company You Work For' categories, which scored 4.30 and 4.25, respectively.
Matthew Mahood, president and chief executive of the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, says a lot of high tech companies in the area recruit and hire young talent. "They want the best and the brightest," he says. "Many of these companies pay well for college graduates with degrees in math, science, engineering, software design, marketing, and analytics. Many start-ups, and even more established companies, have created a new work culture that is very relaxed -- no set work hours, flexible work spaces, collaborative approaches, employee cafeterias, work out centers, etc. -- so employees can spend a lot of time at the office and not feel like it's all work, all the time."
The California metropolis is home to several major corporations and universities, including Apple, Cisco, Intel, Samsung, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Oracle, HP, Yahoo!, IBM, Stanford University, the University of California at Santa Cruz, Santa Clara University, and San Jose State University, among many others.
"Life here in the Silicon Valley is exceptional," Mahood adds. "There are lots of great companies to work for, and they are hiring. They pay well and the perks and benefits are good. We also have exceptional weather; beautiful parks; the ocean and mountains are nearby; theater; great restaurants and nightlife; a diverse culture; and a lot of beautiful little neighborhoods."
Earlier this year, the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. metro area ranked No. 1 on ManpowerGroup's ranking of the best cities for jobs this spring.
1. San Jose Calif.
Bliss score: 3.94
2. San Francisco, Calif.

3. Washington, D.C.

4. Chicago, Ill.

Healthcare professionals discuss growing diabetes epidemic
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Diabetes was the topic of conversation in Bristol on Thursday.
Wellmont's annual diabetes symposium kicked off at Bristol Regional Medical Center Thursday morning.
The goal is to continue to educate the local medical community on a growing epidemic in our region.
Some of this year's focus included nutritional and emotional needs of diabetics and using insulin effectively.
Wellmont's assistant director of diabetes treatment centers, Jim Perkins said doctors and nurses in our area need to know these facts now more than ever before. "Typically we have about 30 or 40 percent of the individuals in the hospital, they have diabetes. They are here for another issue, but they have diabetes, and that's a lot," Perkins told News 5.
This marks Wellmont's eleventh year hosting the diabetes symposium.

Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Return Letter To Richard Branson
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2009
Nominated for the 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award.
This show is about being proud and making a stand. Having witnessed a Virgin train manager abuse his position, Tom tells Richard Branson in a letter how random acts of kindness make good triumph over evil. Why do people stand back and do nothing when it's obvious someone needs to step in?

By PAUL YOUNGSt. George
I read in several newspapers where Rep. Maurice Hinchey is being pushed by Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance to lock away 9 million acres in Utah as wilderness.
H.R. 1919 proposes to designate lands as wilderness in the following areas: Great Basin, Zion and Mojave Desert, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Moab-LaSal canyons, Henry Mountains, Glen Canyon, San Juan-Anasazi, Canyonlands basin, San Rafael Swell, and Book Cliffs and Uintah Basin.
Every rural and suburban resident of Utah should look very closely at their voting ballot next time at election if this bill is allowed to pass.
My suggestion is: Bill 2020. "Be it proposed that any legislator in Congress in Washington D.C. who proposes to allocate lands located within another state into wilderness, said legislator proposing such legislation must also propose the same equal amount of acreage from his own state be set aside as wilderness also."
It is proposed by the majority of tax paying registered voters that our Congressmen serving us in Washington D.C. will form a united cohesive group and push this bill forword ahead of Minchey's H.R. 1919 bill. Write your Washington legislators protesting Minchey's bill.

Sheldon Brookbank has been a spectator since the Blackhawks' playoffs started April 30.
Today, the Hawks' veteran defenseman finally will have a chance to lace up his skates.
Brookbank, 32, will replace teammate Duncan Keith on the blue line as Keith serves a one-game suspension for his high stick against Los Angeles Kings forward Jeff Carter. Meanwhile, the Hawks will try to win Game 4 against the Kings at the Staples Center and increase their 2-1 series lead in the Western Conference finals.
Although Brookbank has not played since April 27, he has plenty of experience in physical Western Conference games. He has appeared in 303 career regular-season games and 17 career playoff games since he entered the league during the 2006-07 season.
Brookbank lacks Keith's speed and passing ability, but he is a tough-minded defenseman who likely will be asked to kill penalties and clear Kings players from the front of the Hawks net. But he will need to be careful to avoid the penalty box, having accumulated 32 penalty minutes in 17 playoff games with the Anaheim Ducks.
The Hawks are 6-5 in Game 4s with head coach Joel Quenneville behind the bench. Tonight's game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. CT., and it will air on NBC Sports Network and WGN-AM 720.

Alright Brooke and Ben!
M/B fought for it, but it just wasn't in teh cards this year.
Oh boy, did Coke bet on the wrong team.
Devastating for M/B to not even beat C/O! I didn't think it was that bad.
I must say I'm shocked at how generally fair this event has been judged in all the disciplines so far. Maybe the USFSA learned their lessons after last season's fiascoes?
I just hope Caydee and Jeremy can keep focussed and keep it together for their program... all eyes are on them now.
weren't Brooke and Ben ahead of them by a bit in the short? that might have also helped... and I prefer Brooke and Ben's program by leaps and bounds.just thought it would at least pass C/O who had multiple mistakes as well
Molly Aaron has distractingly bad posture. Her shoulders are practically scraping her ears.
I'm kicking myself... I didn't notice my DVR was not recording that last pair *facepalm* I'm so mad at myself!

Now we know where Jeremy Barrett's hair went, to his coach with enough to spare for that stubble.

MiraCosta College Comprehensive Master Plan Funding Options
To prepare students for the new jobs of the 21st century, MiraCosta College has just completed its ten-year education and facilities plan—the 2011 Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP)—that calls for the expansion of our science, biotechnology, nursing and technical health-related careers and job training programs. This expansion will allow the college to accommodate more students in high-demand, popular classes that now have long waiting lists.
In an era where public education is subject to repeated drastic and damaging budget cuts, we must seize any opportunity available to us to ensure access to the academic and training programs that prepare our students, active military, and returning veterans with the high-quality, affordable education and the job training programs they need to prepare for 21st century jobs and careers.
To fulfill this commitment, we recently commissioned a professionally conducted, independent community survey to hear directly from residents about their priorities for the college. This survey found that MiraCosta Community College District voters strongly value the educational and job training opportunities that we provide to area residents. In fact, 64% of voters would support a potential local education funding measure to improve, repair and upgrade college facilities to increase the District's capacity to better prepare students for high quality jobs and transfer to universities.

FAQ: MiraCosta College: Preparing Local Students for Universities & Jobs since 1934
Q: Who are we?
Q: What is the issue?
Q: How did you determine the need?
Q: Why are these needs urgent?
Q: What are your specific needs?
Q: What technology improvements do our classrooms need?
Q: What do our Military Veterans need?
Q: How does the College plan to address these needs?
Q: How can I get more information?
Q: Who are we?
A: Since 1934 MiraCosta College has been an important resource for the community, preparing local residents with a high quality, affordable education, so that they can move on to four-year universities and into high quality jobs.
Q: What is the issue?
A: The cost of attending a public university in California has risen to as much as six times that of attending a community college. As a result, more local students are relying on our local community college – at a savings of as much as $35,000 – on their way to a four-year degree. We must increase opportunities for local students to earn college credits, certifications, and job skills at a reasonable price.
Q: How did you determine the need?
We recently completed our 2011 Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) and determined that our region's employment opportunities are anticipated to increase by 15% over the next several years. Local businesses have asked the college to expand its course offerings to meet this growing need. We need additional instructional space to add new courses in emerging fields, allowing local businesses to hire local residents and help grow our economy.
Q: Why are these needs urgent?
A: In an era where public education is clearly not viewed as a political priority by Sacramento politicians, MiraCosta College is committed to remaining an affordable, local alternative. We need to ensure that our precious resources remain in the classroom, educating students, and are not consumed by infrastructure repairs and upgrades to aging and outdated facilities.
Q: What are your specific needs?
A: We need to expand science, health-related careers, biotechnology, nursing and technical job training programs, this will allow them to accommodate more students in these high-demand, popular classes that now have long waiting lists. We also need to expand classroom space, improve course offerings, and turn our San Elijo Campus into a transfer focused Academy. This will we will give local high school graduates and returning students the opportunity to finish required courses necessary to transfer to a Cal State University or UC school.
Q: What technology improvements do our classrooms need?
A: Many of the buildings do not meet the needs of a modern workforce. We need to update outdated electrical systems, wiring & equipment for computer technology and Internet access. We also need to upgrade career and vocational classrooms, labs and equipment for 21st century jobs and careers.
Q: What do our Military Veterans need?
A: Many former and current service members are returning from war zones and face a host of challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder and permanent disabilities. We need to expand Veteran services and facilities dedicated to ensuring that the growing numbers of returning service members receive the support they need to complete their education and enter the civilian workforce.
Q: How does the College plan to address these needs?
A: We are working to get more input from residents and local businesses on their priorities. Together with stakeholders, community members, and the Board of Trustees, we will develop a fiscally responsible plan that includes tough accountability guarantees to present to the community. However, at this time we do not have the funds necessary to address community needs.
Q: How can I get more information?
A: If you would like to find out more information, please contact director of marketing and communications Cheryl Broom at 760.795.6612.

My 12 month old is determined to turn the television channels on the tv. she walks up to them and just starts flicking the channels. For the last week i've been saying "no touch, mommies." or just "No touch" sometimes loudly, sometimes more softly. I often get up and change the channel back to 3 and redirect her to a toy away from the tv. however it unfortunatly is turning into a game. I say "No touch!" start to get up and redirect her and fix the television, and she starts giggling and trying to hit the televisions buttons faster until i get to her. I"m unsure of how to deal with this differently. this is how i handled the CO2 detector pluged in the wall and (knock on wood) she hasn't bothered with it. I've even tried piling her toys infront of the telivision to slow her down. My mum suggested giving her a slap on the hand but i don't want to do that. Any suggestions on how i can get her to stop changing the channels?

Heather M, mom to Reannon age 5 and Shane age 3 and Tessa Born 4/17/09
I would usually make a sad face to my kids, and make a sad face and say something like 'oh, mommy is sad now!' And try to get them interested in something else. With mine it seemed to be a game, and like they wanted me to have a reaction be it positive or negative. When my DS did this DD would cry (she was older) and I would tell her to just give it a little time and ignore what he did and more often than not if we ignored the behavior he would move on to something else, especially if I pulled something else out that was more interesting to him. Or I just took the hint that he wanted attention and turned the tv off!! I am definately not a hand slapper. My friend bought a guard that goes over the bottom of the tv that does not allow them to be able to touch the buttons!!
I would go for the TV guard as well. Many kids at that age have a VERY strong "curiosity/learning drive" and may not be able to stop themselves from doing the behaviour. Or, may take a very long time to learn not to do something. These games, after all, are an important part of they're development.
I think one of the tricky parts of this whole scenario is that some kids ARE able to learn to not touch. You may have to endure stories of how some other child was able to be taught "proper behaviour". (Speaking as a mom who has been there ) And how if you only did "x" you're child would not touch things either.

we went for the $10 tv guard, too! it's not worth the headache. another option would be just to let her play w/the buttons and she'll eventually get bored w/it. try to see it from the toddler's point-of-view. they ARE trying to play games! life is all about fun to them, experimenting, cause-and-effect, it's one big happy world. we could all take a little advice from toddlers! in our house, we try to save "no" for absolute life-threatening situations, child-proof the rest, and let them explore in between.
hitting a child is never the answer. it's disrespectful. it may cause them to fear you. it may cause them to start hitting others. it will certainly damage your relationship.

Do your self a favor and either move the TV to a higher surface or get a guard. You might even try putting a piece of duct tape over the button or something. There is no way to really force your will on hers if she is still able to reach it! Receptively asking her not to touch it and distracting her are short term solutions while visiting someone.My mum suggested giving her a slap on the hand but i don't want to do that.
Would you leave a china vase on a low table for a child look at but not expect them to touch it? How often would you expect distraction and reminders to keep an impulsive and inquisitive child from touching something?
Create a Yes environment by altering it so you don't feel a need to constantly say no
Creating a Yes Environment
My 16 mo year old just figured out how to turn our TV on and off, just a few days ago. Usually he will play with it a few minutes and get board (while I take that as a cue to put something away or do any number of needed things I have been procrastinating on!) He will do it every now and then and I hope it will lose its appeal totally soon!
I put my FIRM step to block off the TV in my living room, and in the den I have my workout bench in front of it. It really helps when I have friends over and five kids are trying to touch it. I am more worried that my son is going to rock it enough to knock it on him because he likes to bang the glass with his hands (I rarely ever turn the TV on when the kids are around).
As for the "no" issue, I've been doing the baby sign for "no" when I tell him not to do something (I save it for important things like when he plays with plugs and cords). I'll say whatever it is I want to say, do the sign, and then redirect. He seems to understand it and is more mindful of me when I use the sign (just don't overuse it). I think he doesn't understand the words as much as he understands the sign.
We assumed that she wanted to play and explore, and thought the TV was as good a place to do it as any. So, if she wanted to change channels, we would let her. And on the rare occasion where it was important to us to be able to watch something without interruptions, we'd just ask her to leave it. And she usually did. No big deal, just trying to meet everyone's needs, with a focus on hers since she's too little to argue for herself or control much of what happens.
This is one of the reasons I just love Tivo! We just don't have the tv on much. When Sam was this age, he just LOVED buttons and if there was one he wanted to press, there was no stopping him. I honestly don't think he really knew what the tv was then, but it had buttons that did stuff! We had plenty of button toys for him and didn't make the tv seem any more or less interesting than the other toys. We watched our shows when he went to bed or to Grandmas.

Scum Frog Bassrat

More From Scum Frog Topwater
Customer Reviews
Comments: Awesome frog. Better than paying 10+ dollars for the same thing with a different name on it. Don't have a bad thing to say about it.
Comments: Frog is really soft. I think it's better for beginner frog fisherman. The skirt is connected the hook which effects the body collapsing. Eyes do eventually fall out the glue used is cheap. It turns over sometimes because there is no weight which also make it not ideal for heavy bait asters
From: Adrian: Seattle, WA
Comments: do not buy the black and yellow color and i like these frogs but when it gets hot the glue on the eyes melt
From: Austin: Bloomington, IN
Comments: best weedless frog/rat EVER. blows anything else away, and I've tried everything. CHEAP AND RELIABLE. Don't spend $10-$20 on a lure, just fill your tackle box with these and only these. SCUM FROG/BASS RAT FOR LIFE
From: Joe: CT
Comments: Comments:this frog holds the title of most weedless frog. it is very light, so it glides over the thickest cover. its pointed nose works like a wedge, burrowing through any openings in branches,weeds,cane,cattails,lillies,grass,duckweed,and any other cover. black is a must have, with blue dog and natural black and green being better on cloudy days. inexpensive,durable,great frog. if you like to fish thick slop, this frog is made just for you.

Averkamp at Loyola, Green and Rodriguez at UWM are area collegiate hoops' leaders
All three are having sound careers
It's been a good week, heck, a good month to be a former NOW Newspapers All-Suburban basketball players competing Horizon League collegiate hoops squads in the area.
The honors for most consistent, steady and reliable go to Germantown's Ben Averkamp, a 6-8 senior forward for the 5-2 Loyola (Chicago) University Ramblers, who just recently was named the school's athlete of the month and who also recently became just the 19th player in school history to score 1,000 career points and snare 500 rebounds.
More on him later, because the honors for most dramatic, eventful and exciting belong to two-time NOW All-Suburban player of the Year Ashley Green (Nicolet) and NOW selection Angela Rodriguez (Oak Creek) both of whom played enormous roles in UW-Milwaukee's recent record-setting, Loyola Marymount-style, 116-112 double overtime win over Bradley.
A video on UWM's website shows Green taking a long inbounds pass from teammate Emily Decorah with just 3.7 seconds left in regulation with the Panthers down three. Green quickly raced down the right side of the court and with a defender in her face rattled home a banked-in 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game at 87.
She looked stunned as she was mobbed by teammates.
Green, who helped lead Nicolet to its only WIAA state championship in a 26-2 senior year of 2010-11, fouled out in the first overtime but only after compiling a line that included a career high 33 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and an estimated four charges taken.
When she went out, Rodriguez put the team on her back, scoring 11 of the team's 14 points in the first overtime en route to a great line herself of 22 points and eight assists.
The win evened the Panthers' record at the time at 4-4 for new coach Kyle Rechlicz, who is reaping the rewards of former UWM coach Sandy Botham's aggressive recruiting in the metro Milwaukee area.
Green, who in eighth grade had to be talked into playing basketball by a then-Nicolet teammate and friend (Green had been a soccer girl), made a big splash last season for the Panthers earning Horizon League All-Newcomer team honors in 2011-12 after averaging 10.4 points and 5.4 rebounds and averaging close to 33 minutes a game, tops for all league freshmen.
The second all-time scorer in Nicolet history and NOW Player of the Year 2010 and 2011 was a relentless do-it-all performer on a talented Nicolet team that fulfilled its state title destiny in 2010-11. Green is now carrying on that tradition at a much higher level, as she is currently averaging 14.4 points and 6.5 rebounds a game for the Panthers with 16 assists and a team-high 12 steals.
None of this is surprise to her former Nicolet coach Corey Wolf, whose sister, Lindsey Bronson, is now an assistant at Bradley, and who was at the historic game the other night.
"It was funny," Wolf said. "Lindsey's in this new position but she was the one who had recruited Ashley for UWM and I was teasing her about that the other night. She and I even watched a little game film on Ashley and I said 'You can't let Ashley beat you' and she said 'We're going to have a hard time stopping her.'
"… And that was true. She made her adjustments last year (freshmen season), and she's just so smart and understands so much about the game. She just has a confidence about herself, so none of this surprises me at all. She's just going to get better and better."
Green's also an academic all-star having been a National Honor Society member at Nicolet. She is now majoring in kinesiology at UWM.
Rodriguez is tenacious
Rodriguez has carried on much the same fashion at UWM with the same tenacious attitude.
Her senior year at Oak Creek in 2010 was truncated due to an ankle injury (playing all 13 games) but that didn't stop Oak Creek coach Steve Hluchnik from calling her "the best player he ever coached."
She bounced back with a vengeance in 2010-11, earning Horizon League Newcomer of the Year honors for UWM after averaging 12.6 points per game. She remained a solid performer in 2011-12, averaging 10.4 points per game and leading the team in 3-pointers made and minutes.
She is showing no signs of slowing down this winter, as the junior communications major is currently averaging 13.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists a game with a team-high 18 3-pointers as well as hitting 90 percent of her free throws.
Meanwhile, down the road at Loyola, it's been a quiet but highly successful three-plus years for Averkamp, as he is coming off a second-team All-Horizon League season during which he averaged a career best 15.4 points and 7.1 rebounds a game and became the first player to lead the team in both scoring and rebounding since 2004-2005.
He is off to a sensational start to his senior season for the 5-2 Ramblers as he is currently averaging 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. He is shooting 54 percent from the field and 90 percent from the foul line (30-33). Her also earned All-Tournament honors at the South Florida Invitational.
The 2008 and 2009 NOW Player of the Year and 2009 state Gatorade Player of the Year who led Germantown to its first two WIAA state tournament berths has, of course, been no slacker in the classroom. He was valedictorian in his class at Germantown. He earned Horizon League All-Academic team honors and was named to the Capital One first-team All-Academic District V squad last year.
Averkamp on NBA watch list
His plans to become an orthopedic surgeon remain firmly intact though his name can be found on an NBA watch list for senior collegiate players if his skill and the fates give him a chance to dip his toes in such elite waters.
And no one forgets that it was he who first lifted the Warhawks to elite status after decades of mediocre to lousy basketball, who opened the door for Zak Showalter and Josh Mongan to lift the state championship trophy for Germantown last March.
Germantown coach Steve Showalter will never forget him.
"I think consistency has been his middle name since day one," Showalter said of Averkamp. "He's not going to do anything crazy/fancy but he's not going to give you anything less than his complete best effort either. He will put in an 'X' amount of points and grab an 'X' amount of rebounds a game and he will also get all 'A's' in school.
"He'll do the right thing all the time and just do anything he can to help his team win."
A trait all three current all-stars seem to have in common.

Not the same as before
"I was looking for a lightweight exercise shoe. A couple years ago (say, between 2-4) I had a pair of shoes that looked JUST like this. Not sure if my old ones had a different name, or, far more likely, Puma redesigned the shoe. Anyway, this shoe is fine for walking, or PERHAPS running (I'm not a runner, so take that with a grain of salt). This shoe has no lateral support, and has a very thin sole (what makes it different from my old ones). It's very flexible through the toe box, which can be good if that's what you're looking for. Same sizing as other pumas, colors are true to the picture. It's very soft and seems durable, but unfortunately this is not what I needed from a sneaker so I had to return them."
