The Reebok 18K SicKick 4 Dual Grip Hockey Sticks feature all of the high end technologies as the 20K stick, but with a couple differences in the shaft design. Like the 20K stick the 18K features the Duel Matrix II™ and the AccuBlade providing very quick and accurate shots.
The 18K stick is a fused one-piece stick with a higher fuse point to increase the twist resistance. This design will provide slap shot stability while maintaing the low-kick point's quick release. The Dual Matrix II™ carbon fiber construction uses fibers angled at 45 degrees on the backhand and 90 degrees on the forehand causing tension in shot loading. This paired with the lowest kick point in hockey will create a slingshot effect for a hyper release.
The 18K stick features Reebok's exclusive AccuBlade. The AccuBlade virtually eliminates blade deflection by becoming progressively stiffer from heel to toe allowing for better puck control and an extremely accurate shot. Reebok also made the blade lighter and moved the balance point up a few centimeters making it unbelievably balanced.
The 18k stick features a Dual Grip. The bottom half of the shaft is a smooth matte finish, allowing your hands to move freely up and down the shaft. The top half of the stick features Reebok's Griptonite coating, providing full control of your stick.

On March 20, the historic Castle Dale Stake Center building was rededicated by Pres. Allan M. Sharp, president of the Castle Dale Utah Stake, following a remodeling project that lasted approximately two years.
Sharp said, "Although this Castle Dale Stake Center was completed in 1950, it was the result of more than 15 years of planning. On Jan. 10, 1935, the leaders of the Castle Dale Ward first made contact with the presiding Bishop's office concerning the building of a new chapel. The request was favorably met and in July of 1937, a survey was taken on a plot of land to determine its suitability for a new church and amusement hall.
"There were some people who were concerned that the money and labor needed would be hard to come up with. The cost of the original building was estimated to be $50,000, $30,000 from the church and $20,000 from the local members, half in labor and donations of material and the other half in cash. Carlos Larsen, then president of the Elders Quorum spoke to the ward and committed the quorum and the other members as well to get behind the project and in June of 1939 Bishop E.A. Nielson returned from Salt Lake where he had conferred with church authorities and announced that arrangements had been made to begin work immediately to build a modern church house. The building was to be built where the old one had been so it would be razed before construction could begin. The Emery Stake building on the park square was to be left intact.
"Construction, however, did not begin immediately because of the outbreak of World War II. A few years later the original plans were canceled because it called for a flat roof, which the church architect would not allow to be used anymore. The original plans had been taken from a meeting house in Raymond, Canada. Rather than waiting for a year for new plans to be drawn up, L.T. Hunter, chairman of the building committee, decided to use the same plans that had been drawn up for the Granger Ward in the North Jordan Stake. At the same time Pres. E.G. Luke suggested that the building be constructed as a combined ward and stake center. That suggestion was quickly adopted and all the leaders in the Emery Stake and all of the wards agreed.
"In April of 1948, an exact location, this very one, was decided upon and actual construction began shortly thereafter.
"The original plans estimated that 300,000 adobe interior bricks would be required, and on July 21, 1940 the adobe brick making operation began. Soil for the bricks came from the Earl Seely farm because it had the right proportion of sand and clay and made a whiter brick that most other soils available. Allen Jones was in charge of the operation and Chris Jensen from Ferron, an expert brick kiln man, was employed to burn the bricks. Three large kilns sat where the parking lot is now. About 3,500 adobes (molded but unburned bricks) were made daily. That number quickly went up to 5,000 and by August, 90,000 were placed in the kilns for firing. Teenage girls had molded 12,000 of them. Many of the boys and men were up at the sawmills preparing lumber but helped as well after they came down and before school started. By September of that year, 250,000 adobes had been made and fired. Once again, because of the war, these bricks were either sealed up in the kilns, or buried in the ground to try to preserve them.
"As you can see, the walls of the chapel and the first floor of the original building are 12-13 inches thick, and were made by eight inch adobe interior brick and the outside face brick. The top floor has only four inch adobes behind the face brick making them 8-8.5 inches thick.
"The war ended in 1945 and the fundraising began that same year. Many of these donations have been documented. They consisted of lumber, the use of trucks and equipment, building materials, and even the first boiler was donated, and although it was used rusted on the outside, it was cleaned and served for many years.
"On July 8, 1951, the new stake/ward house was dedicated in an official ceremony conducted by David O. McKay, newly installed president of the Church. We have a rich heritage that is and always will be seen in this beautiful building, this house of worship, the first such building in Emery County," said Sharp.

Zions Bank's 20th Annual Paint-a-thon brightens up home in Elmo.
More than 52 homes throughout Idaho and Utah received makeovers by Zions Bank employees during the company's 20th annual Paint-a-Thon service project. Celebrating two decades of neighborhood outreach, Zions Bank employees traded in their balance sheets for brushes and paint to help beautify homes throughout the state, from Logan to St. George. Home projects included the Elmo home of Ina Larue Lofley, who is 78 years old. More than 3,000 Zions Bank employees and their families volunteered to clean, scrape and paint homes in the state's largest single-employer volunteer event of its kind.
The Paint-a-Thon benefits low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners. The average age of this year's homeowner is 75, with an average annual income of $18,145. Projects completed during the annual weeklong event were selected with the assistance of state housing agencies, community organizations and local churches.
Twenty years ago, when Zions Bank first launched Paint-a-Thon, the population of elderly people living in Utah was just about 150,000, but today, it is estimated to have grown to more than 250,000, according to the Utah Division of Aging and Adult Services. With the aging population booming, Zions Bank is helping elderly homeowners by fixing up their homes, which enables them to live independently in their homes while maintaining their dignity and health.
"Getting paint under my fingernails doesn't bother me when I'm involved in this rewarding service project," said Zions employee and Paint-a-Thon team captain Joel Hatch. "As community bankers, we are proud to help our elderly neighbors by fixing up their houses and helping to give them pride in their homes."
In addition to painting, Zions employees provided yard clean-up, pruning, mowing, planting and minor repairs as needed by homeowners. The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank.
Launched in 1991, Zions Bank's Paint-a-Thon began as a volunteer project for a dozen homes along Utah's Wasatch Front. Over the past 19 years, Zions Bank employees have put aside summer pastimes for a week each year, volunteering in the evenings after work and on Saturday, to paint a total of 732 homes throughout Utah and Idaho. Not counting the dollar value of volunteer hours through the years, the bank has donated more than $781,000 toward beautifying homes throughout Utah and Idaho.
"Many things have changed over the last 20 years, but Zions Bank employees have proudly maintained the annual Paint-a-Thon, a project that gives each of us the opportunity to help meet the needs of local homeowners," said Scott Anderson, Zions Bank president and CEO. "Not only does a home makeover benefit an individual resident, it also benefits a community by beautifying the neighborhood."
Zions Bank is Utah's oldest financial institution and is the only local bank with a statewide distribution of branches, operating 105 full-service branches throughout Utah. Zions Bank also operates 25 full-service branches in Idaho. In addition to offering a wide range of traditional banking services, Zions Bank is also a leader in small business lending and has ranked as the No. 1 lender of U.S. Small Business Administration 7(a) loans in Utah for the past 15 consecutive years. Founded in 1873, Zions has been serving the communities of Utah for more than 135 years. Additional information is available at www.zionsbank.com.
Mrs. Lofley the home owner was thrilled to see a fresh coat of paint on her home and appreciates the service.

Skip to comments.Bush speechwriter: Obama plagiarized GWBs 2007 SOTU
Posted on 01/29/2014 8:21:13 AM PST by Theo
As dark clouds continue to gather over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, all but the most diehard Obama worshipers grudgingly concede that his presidency has entered its lame duck phase. Some analysts have drawn comparisons between the second term of the current occupant of the White House and that of his immediate predecessor.
Bruce Drake, writing at Pew Research Centers Fact Tank, notes:
Barack Obama and George Bush have at least one thing in common when it comes to the second terms they won the first year of their encores have been downers when it came to their public images. Both experienced falloffs in overall job approval and in Americans perceptions of their leadership, ability to get things done and trustworthiness.For one observer, even last nights State of the Union address had an oddly familiar ring, sounding like something George W. Bush might have said. Thats because the words were something Bush did say. Mark Thiessen, the observer in question and lead Bush speechwriter, had written them for Bushs 2007 SOTU.
Appearing on The Kelly File, Thiessen said:
It was eerily familiar. There were lines like, Our job is to help Americans build a future of hope and opportunity. A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy. A future of hope and opportunity requires our citizens have affordable and available health care. Extending opportunity and hope depends on a stable supply of energy. All of that came from the 2007 State of the Union address by George W. Bush. So, Barack Obama has gone from blaming George W. bush to plagiarizing George W. Bush.
(Excerpt) Read more at libertyunyielding.com ...
Difference being Bush meant it?
Yes, but he didn't know it. It's somebody else's fault. /sarc
Well, of course Obama plagiarized Bush's speech.
If his pronouncements fail to turn out, Obama can blame you know who.
BO has never accomplished a thing in his miserable life. He's never invented, manufactured, designed, written or verbalized an original idea or thought. This is all that needs to be in any article about him.
Difference here is given the same time frames of both administrations, at this point the media was CONSTANTLY touting the death count of our soldiers, politicians spouting over and over "worst economy since the great depression!!", everything wrong was Bush's fault, etc..etc. Contrast that to sparky's today; everything he does is "fabulous!!!", he is a visionary, he is pulling for the little guy, etc..etc. obama is just a loser even with a culpable media covering for him.
"Read my lying lips."
meh. Seems like the kind of generic stuff any politician (or political speechwriter) would say.
Yes and that Obama doesn't.
Obama eliminates and prevents as many jobs as he can through his policies.
Obamacare is a great job killer, wage reducer and business eliminator. Stopping the XL Pipeline prevented thousands of job creations. He has boosted his union friends eliminating Hostess.
Yes, he focuses on jobs like a laser - to burn them up.
Calling Joe Biden, please pick up the white telephone
Plagiarism? I guess Obama is trying to emulate Martin Luther King, Jr.
He never mentions GWB by name in the negative anymore, he just says '... inherited...' or '...when I took office..''
They knew what they were doing.
Which means they wanted us to pick it apart so they could then say it's the exact language of Bush's speech and we were okay with it then.
Case in point, now that it's been shown to be the disaster we all knew it would be, they've been claiming obamacare is a Republican plan.
Does that say more bout Bush or Obama? hmmm
Bush's Fault!!
(I can't beleive that took more than three posts)
- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2547667/EXCLUSIVE-Obamas-high-school-pot-dealer-future-president-thanked-good-times-yearbook-beaten-death-gay-lover-fights-flatulence-drugs.html
Yep. Can you imagine a conservative journalist comparing Bush's SOTU to sex?
And yet the Left had a cow and claimed
Bush was unfit for the Presidency because he missed a dentist appointment in 1972
It's not plagiarism. There simply isn't a dimes worth of difference.
1. outright lies
2. subverting constitution
3. stacking courts thru nuclear option
99. plagiarism
Still on the Bush comparison meme....
What would you expect from a person who's resume is A Community Organizer?
VP Joey B. probably gave him tips on how to pull this off. He is an expert at it.
"He never mentions GWB by name in the negative anymore, he just says '... inherited...' or '...when I took office..''
It seems strange to me that someone who moved heaven and earth to obtain the office cries about what he "inherits." Inherit hell, he bought and paid for it.
There are no more Churchills or Reagans.
So a guy named Drake writes a story about lame ducks and their downers?. There's a bad chicken joke in there someplace. I said yesterday that if I had to listen to the speech I was gonna dig out a duck call and quack my way thru it. I didn't like the speech much when Bush gave it and it's just as phony now. Delivering a truly motivational speech requires that one insert a couple of actual facts/proposals/plans in there someplace-—then hold the door open for the team to hit the field when you're thru. The Kenyan just headed straight for the showers.
I compared both speeches, and there is no lines that are this close.
Same themes, but not surprising...what politician doesn't talk about hope and opportunity, but hope was only once in Obama's speech and nothing like the alleged plagiarized text.
Sorry, but this time we shouldn't run with this nonsense.
Bush barely got past Gore and Kerry. Two complete idiots. They both should have lost in landslides but the GOP gave us W. Then along comes Obama, the biggest dufus in history, and he beats McCain and Romney. If that's not proof of voter fraud, I don't know what is.
Well, actually, there was a difference. Bush loved his country, Obama hates his...or at any rate, the one where he lives and of which he happens to be president.
The thing I thought was amusing is that Bambi was actually stealing an idea from Bush (to have retirement accounts for low-income workers) that the Dems condemned at the time as being too cheap and not enough government largesse.
As a progressive he has to tell us how bad things are in American to sell his socialist agenda.
As a POTUS, to have any credibility to get support for his his socialist agenda he has to tell us how good he made things, this is because he has been in office for 5 years now, its not 2009.
These contradict one another.
So he sets his own baseline to compare his achievements against, what he 'inherited', the worst economy in the history of the world.
Has his cake and eats it too.
Just proves the democrats ain't got nothin'.
Good question....Sure seems the strengthen the argument that indeed there isn't a dime's worth of difference.
All bull**** smells alike.
Nope. A conservative journalist wouldn't have their mind in the gutter 24x7 and if they did, they certainly wouldn't be writing about it.
Well, he already "plagiarized" himself,
so it was time to try plagiarizing something better.
Actually he did campaign on it 2008. It was a BIG deal to the libertards. A string of victim type people witnessed that the medical system was broken. Zerocare was a huge part of the hope and change.
Figures. Obortion O doesn't have an original thought of his own.
Obama: Well, I'm just as upset about this as you are! Make no mistake, I will get to the bottom of this.
If Bush loved the USA he would have stopped the illegal alien invasion. After 9/11 he could have stopped all immigration. Bush and his party had control of the whole federal government for six years and all they did was expand the power, scope, and cost of government. I don't think they rolled back, let alone ended, a single leftist program.
If Bush loved the USA I can't imagine what he would have done if he hated it.
The difference being Bush's people had the imagination and intent to say it.
Don't worry im sure it's "bush's fought" for just being ahead of his time. Or maybe Obama has failed to change anything in 5 years...
Did you try a word search:
Our job is to help Americans build a future of hope and opportunity. A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy." BO
Compare to:
"Our job is to make life better for our fellow Americans, and to help them build a future of hope and opportunity. And this is the business before us tonight.
A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy, and that is what we have."
GB State of the Union 2007, see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/23/AR2007012301075.html for this and other quotes from Bush.
"A future of hope and opportunity requires our citizens have affordable and available health care. BO
Compare to:
"A future of hope and opportunity requires that all our citizens have affordable and available health care." GB
Extending opportunity and hope depends on a stable supply of energy. BO
Compare to:
"Extending hope and opportunity depends on a stable supply of energy that keeps America's economy running and America's environment clean." GB
Sorry - but this is not nonsense. Of course, Zero will blame his speechwriter (but not fire him or her) while claiming his simplified version was better.
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
Exactly. Even with the media covering up every bad thing about Obama, they can't escape the reality of his actions.
I did a word search for hope and opportunity as separate words and didn't locate those passages.
I searched for awhile.
You are right...that is blatant plagiarism.

Local attorney, professor weigh in on Zimmerman case
George Zimmerman acquitted late Saturday in Florida
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A local criminal defense attorney and a UC Santa Barbara professor are weighing in about why the jury acquitted the former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
From coast to coast, people are protesting the not-guilty verdict in the trial.
Robert Sanger has been a criminal defense attorney for 40 years. He was at an NAACP conference in Virginia when the verdict came down.
He said he and other defense lawyers had a feeling that Zimmerman wouldn't be convicted, because the prosecution was overreaching with the murder charge.
"So in a sense, the system worked, it stood up to a conviction of somebody who should not have been convicted for those charges, and yet the criminal justice system doesn't answer all the social problems," said Sanger.
Those social issues are what's causing public unrest and protests.
"Clearly there were racial undertones as to what happened," said Sanger.
UCSB Department of Black Studies chair Dr. Jeffrey Stewart also wasn't surprised when he heard Zimmerman was a free man.
"I would have like to see a better prosecution, but I doubt given the law, and given the fact that there were no witnesses to contradict what was essentially Zimmerman's fanciful story, I don't know how there could have been another outcome," said Stewart.
Steward said the case is causing people to stand up and speak out about racial discrimination, which he says, when not violent, is a good thing.
But in the end, Stewart said, Zimmerman's acquittal wasn't up to him or the public, but the court.
"I'm just not at all convinced with Zimmerman's side of the story, but certainly the jury was, and that's all you can say in the American justice system," he said.
This might not be the end of court hearings for Zimmerman. Trayvon Martin's parents are considering a wrongful death civil lawsuit against him.

"Everything came out as expected, I love them! The paper is a high quality matte that I'm pleased with and the print is perfect. The customer service at Tiny Prints is what has more ordering over and over. My first experience was about a year ago - my sister was graduating from high school and she placed her own order and accidentally messed up some wording. Tiny Prints helped me rectify the problem quickly and kindly. With this order, I got a personal, handwritten note from Luke, which I thought was a nice touch!"
"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"
"This design was fun to use with the ability to upload 3 images and text boxes were simple to edit. Note: You can add to the ounces (like 9.14 oz.), by changing to 'lbs' & 'oz'. Apparently that can be important to the family! ;) Got rave reviews from those that received the card too!"
"I loved this product. I would have liked for it to come in a boy/girl twin option, but their nursery is grey and blue, so it worked. The quality paper quality was great and love the "matte" finish. I was originally sent announcements with the center picture too small and off to the side, I called and they reprinted my order and it was "rush" delivered two days later free of charge. The customer service department was excellent and I can't wait to try some home decor products!"
"Came out beautifully and have received lots of compliments already. Pictures look beautiful. Asked for a custom change to the back layout and was designed perfectly by the reviewer. Printed and shipped faster than promised."

That's part of the week's trend of flows into emerging-market funds. Korea-focused funds were a particular bright spot. The data comes from EPFR Global, whose Friday new release contains the following:
With the Fed issuing a stay of tapering and fears of a broader conflict in Syria receding, EPFR Global-tracked Emerging Markets Equity Funds posted inflows for the second week running despite an increase in retail redemptions over the previous week. Asia ex-Japan Equity Funds, which snapped a seven week outflow streak, and the diversified Global Emerging Markets (GEM) Equity Funds both took in over $850 million while Latin America and EMEA Equity Funds recorded outflows of $104 million and $126 million respectively.
The strongest flows into Asia ex-Japan Equity Funds since late January were underpinned by domestic interest in Korea Equity Funds which saw won-denominated inflows jump to a 37 week high. Redemptions from China Equity Funds have already moderated, although renminbi-denominated flows at a six week low was not enough to snap an outflow streak stretching back to mid-May.
iShares MSCI Pacific ex-Japan ETF (EPP), the most heavily owned ETF for the ex-Japan Asia niche, is down 0.8% at $48.42 in Friday afternoon trading. iShares MSCI South Korea Capped ETF (EWY) is down 1.8% to $62.85.

Jordan Crane will captain Leicester at Welford Road on Saturday for their match against defending Premiership champs Harlequins.
Jordan Crane will captain Leicester Tigers at Welford Road for Saturday's match against defending Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins.
The Tigers number eight has been part of the matchday squad in all three games so far this season, but runs out at the head of the team in the absence of Geordan Murphy, who suffered a knee injury in the draw against Saracens at Wembley last weekend.
Scott Hamilton reverts to full-back in place of Murphy, with Niall Morris coming into the backline. Matt Smith is also included.
Boris Stankovich and Martin Castrogiovanni are in the front row alongside hooker Tom Youngs.
Adam Thompstone, a summer signing from London Irish, could make his Tigers debut after being included among the replacements.
Meanwhile, there is just one change in the Harlequins backline where Matt Hopper starts at outside centre, replacing George Lowe who took a knock during training this week.
In the forwards, Olly Kohn returns to partner George Robson in the second-row while Maurie Fa'asavalu joins Nick Easter and captain, Chris Robshaw in the back-row.
Form: Leicester Tigers are unbeaten in the regular season of Aviva Premiership rugby since they visited Exeter on February 11 and lost 11-19. The Tigers have not lost in any competition at Welford Road since Harlequins were the visitors on 8 October, 2010. Harlequins, the defending Aviva Premiership champions, have made the perfect start to their defence in picking up maximum points from the first three rounds, something no side has achieved before. Quins are unbeaten away from home in the tournament since they visited Gloucester on February 25. This is a repeat of last season's Premiership final at Twickenham, whilst the previous three meetings in the league phase of the competition were won by the away side on the day. Quins' 27-18 victory at Welford Road in October was their first in the Premiership at the famous old venue.
The teams:
Leicester: 15 Scott Hamilton, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Matt Smith, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Vereniki Goneva, 10 Toby Flood, 9 Sam Harrison, 8 Jordan Crane (c), 7 Julian Salvi, 6 Steve Mafi, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Graham Kitchener, 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Boris Stankovich.
Replacements: 16 George Chuter, 17 Dan Cole, 18 Logovi'i Mulipola, 19 Rob Andrew, 20 Thomas Waldrom, 21 Patrick Phibbs, 22 George Ford, 23 Adam Thompstone.
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Tom Williams, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Jordan Turner Hall, 11 Ugo Monye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 5 George Robson, 4 Olly Kohn, 3 James Johnston, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Joe Marler.

Hi ,

Fryer: Is expansion in cards for Coast View?
Taking a look around Orange County high school sports:
•County schools are in discussion about potential league reconfigurations that would be in place starting with the 2014-15 school year. There is talk of adding Foothill and perhaps another school to the Coast View Conference that now includes 10 south-county public schools.
•The 10 schools in the Coast View Conference are placed in either the five-team South Coast or five-team Sea View league, with the leagues having different memberships in different sports. When the conference was formed, CIF-SS playoff eligibility rules granted guaranteed playoff berths to the top three finishers in a five-team league. The rules since changed to giving guaranteed berths to only the top two finishers in a five-team league, so there is a desire county-wide to change five-team leagues to six-team leagues, and also to change seven-team leagues, such as the Century and Empire, to six-team leagues since six- and seven-team leagues both receive three guaranteed playoff berths.
•Regarding the incident in last week's Canyon-Brea Olinda girls basketball game in which Brea's Arin Perry was ejected for punching Canyon's Michele Ballestero in the face, the CIF-Southern Section requires that an athlete ejected from a contest for fighting or assaultive behavior be ineligible for the team's next contest. The athlete may return to competition after the CIF-SS office receives certification that the student completed a conference with a school administrator.
•CIF-SS rules state that a second ejection for fighting or assaultive behavior will be cause for suspension for the remainder of the season. An athlete ejected for fighting or assaultive behavior cannot be in attendance at the following contest for which the athlete is ineligible.
•The punishment is far more severe for an athlete who assaults a game official. An athlete who does so is banned from interscholastic athletics for the remainder of the athlete's eligibility. That athlete can apply for reinstatement 18 months after the incident.
•The Nike Extravaganza games at Mater Dei that have the most appeal: Brethren Christian, with 7-foot-5 center Mamadou Ndiaye, reportedly the tallest high school player in the nation, vs. Servite Friday at 6:15 p.m.; the two non-county games Saturday involving state-ranked teams, state No. 1 Long Beach Poly vs. No. 9 St. John Bosco of Bellflower at 6 p.m., and No. 6 Etiwanda vs. No. 11 Loyola of Los Angeles, 7:30 p.m.; and state No. 2 Mater Dei vs. No. 17 Westchester of Los Angeles at (supposedly) 9 p.m.
•Tickets will be available Friday and Saturday at Mater Dei for Nike Extravaganza games there. Prices go from $12-$22. Go to materdei.org for specific pricing structure.
•The CIF-Southern Council on Thursday held the second of the three meetings it holds each school year. It was the most uneventful Council meeting in memory.
•Discussion of a state proposal to make uniform statewide the overtime procedures for football games was tabled, because the CIF State Federated Council itself won't discuss the proposal until next month. Some of the state's 10 sections, including the Southern Section, give the offense the ball at the opponent's 25-yard line to start overtime. Some sections' OT procedures start at the 10-yard line, which is what the state office would prefer occur statewide.
•The CIF-SS Council voted to support a state proposal that would add definitions to regulations on athletically motivated transfers. Included in the proposed language is that if an athlete, the athlete's parent or guardian makes published statements that a transfer was made to acquire better athletic competition that could make the transfer an athletically motivated one that would place that athlete's eligibility in jeopardy.
•CIF-SS commissioner Rob Wigod said the section's legal expenses this school year are reduced one-third from last school year because of less-restrictive transfer rules and interpretation of the rules.
•Swimming coaches are working on the possibility of creating state swimming championships that would begin in the 2014-15 school year. Potential locations that have been mentioned are Clovis, Long Beach and Riverside. The Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine would seem to be an adequate venue.
•CIF state championships are held in these sports: basketball, cross country, football, golf, track and field, girls volleyball and wrestling. There are Southern and Northern California regional championships in soccer, tennis and boys volleyball. Having regional championships can be a precursor to creating state championships.
•Saddleback boys soccer's 4-0 victory over Laguna Beach on Wednesday clinched a playoff berth for the Roadrunners for the 25th year in a row. Mel Silva has coached Saddleback during that 25-season streak.
•Orange Lutheran's boys basketball game Wednesday, a victory over Santa Margarita, was the 1,000th boys basketball game in school history. A school needs a historian like Lutheran's Nancy Paul for this sort of information to be known. The school's home court is named for her, with her signature on it.
•Cypress baseball second baseman Steven Andrade has committed to Cal Poly Pomona. He was All-Empire League first team in 2012. The letter-of-intent signing period for baseball begins April 17.
•Football takes the spotlight, but it's not the only sport for the next letter-of-intent signing period that begins Wednesday. That day also starts the signing period for cross country, track and field, soccer and men's water polo.

Concentration Programs
Preparing Students to Provide Value on Day One
Loyola Law School's curriculum is rich and diverse, with a broad array of faculty members recognized as national leaders in their respective fields. To help students navigate the vast offerings, Concentration Programs and Courses of Study were developed.
The Concentrations combine rigorous intellectual training with in-depth clinical and experiential (practical) learning components, which gives graduates the specialized skills and knowledge in their chosen field.
Clinical Professor Gary Craig explains the Concentration program more simply. "While it is not the best comparison to make, a Concentration is similar to a major in undergraduate studies, in that a student with a specific interest in a field can do focused study in that field. A major difference though, is that students who graduate law school with a Concentration will have the same degree as those without a Concentration, a juris doctor, that will be viable in any area of law in which they wish to practice." Each Concentration is advised by a faculty member who specializes in the field, and has a required curriculum that has been specially tailored to equip graduates with a comprehensive understanding of the subject. Concentration programs will be available to both day and evening division students.
What are the benefits of the Concentrations?
- Gain expertise and hands-on knowledge
Extensive course work will provide a strong academic and theoretical base. Students will also gain hands-on experience by participating in at least one semester-long simulation or live-client experience in their field.
- Networking
The Concentration program is another way the law school connects its students with local experts in that particular field. Many members of the legal community and our large alumni base specifically, will participate in the Concentration program. Each Concentration will conduct focused speaking receptions featuring working practitioners. Some of the Concentrations will have either a judge or lawyer in residence who will host on-campus workshops, lectures and moot court trials. There will also be exclusive networking opportunities, like alumni receptions that will be available only to Concentration students.
- Employment
This innovative curriculum signals to employers that Loyola students will provide immediate value and will be able to perform effectively as soon as they enter the legal profession. Professor Archer adds, "More and more firms today are moving away from the old model of employment. Even a few years ago, a student could graduate law school and expect on-the-job training from their hiring firm. Employers are now looking to hire new associates that are more practice ready. Loyola's Concentrations are just another way we are preparing our students for today's job market."
- Counseling
Each Concentration has an adviser, a faculty expert in their field, who meets with individual students at least one time every semester. Advisers will counsel students through their coursework, practical experience and potential career paths.
- Honors
Students earn recognition on their transcripts for completing these intensive programs and will also be eligible to earn honors at graduation based on their performance.
Students who are interested in applying and registering for a Concentration should do so by the first semester of their second year if they are day students or by the first semester of their third year if they are evening students.
Courses of Study
Courses of Study provide a means for students to organize class selection, find faculty members with expertise, become informed about experiential opportunities and connect with alumni in the relevant area.
Courses of Study are more informal than the established Concentrations - there are no requirements for any particular Course of Study, and they will not be designated as such on Loyola transcripts. Instead, they supplement the more formal Concentrations by helping students with particular subject-matter, methodological or jurisprudential interests structure their path through law school and into their future careers.

A new report warns retailers not to underinvest in these consumers.
Bill Siwicki
More consumers research purchases on mobile devices than buy via the devices, finds a new report from Forrester Research Inc. Only 13% of U.S. online adults with a mobile phone say they have used it to purchase a product, according to the report, "How U.S. Consumers Shop on Mobile Devices." That figure is 30% for tablet owners.
The barriers to mobile purchasing include web sites that are not optimized for mobile, concerns over the security of mobile payments and patchy wireless connections, Forrester says. As a result, the average mobile site's conversion rate is only 1% compared with 2% to 3% on a PC, the firm adds.
Instead of making purchases, 37% of U.S. online adult tablet owners and 14% of online adult mobile phone owners are using their devices to research products and prepare to make a purchase. U.S. online consumers are also using their devices to read customer product reviews (tablet 28%, mobile phone 10%), locate a store and check store hours (tablet 17%, mobile phone 16%), and check product availability online (tablet 16%, mobile phone 7%).
When it comes to the products and services that consumers are buying on their mobile devices, they mirror the categories that early e-commerce shoppers used: 22% of mobile shoppers buy apparel, 21% pick up event tickets and 20% make hotel reservations. The average mobile shopper spent just under $90 via mobile in the past three months, Forrester finds.
Mobile shoppers are likely to be young, male and financially sound, the report says. A slight majority of mobile shoppers are male, and they are, on average, in their mid-30s. Two out of three have a full-time job, 40% earn more than $100,000 per year, and one-third have children under 18 living at home. Conversely, online adults who aren't mobile shoppers are more likely to be female and are typically nine years older than their mobile shopping counterparts. More than one-quarter are empty nesters whose children have left home, and a good proportion of them either earn less than $49,000 per year or are retired.
Consumers looking to make purchases on their mobile phones from chain retailers prefer optimized versions of retailer web sites to mobile apps, Forrester says. However, the apps of online-only retailers are actually more popular shopping channels than the mobile web: 36% of U.S. mobile shoppers use web-only merchants' apps compared with 31% who favor mobile commerce web sites.
As mobile retail activities and revenues have grown, retailers have been slow out of the blocks with their mobile strategies and budgets, the report says. For example, 18 out of 43 retailers Forrester surveyed for its State of Retailing Online 2012 report still had no employees dedicated to mobile. "Investment in phones and tablets is still in the early stages," that report concludes.
"Luckily for e-business professionals, mobile is a marathon rather than a sprint," the "How U.S. Consumers Shop on Mobile Devices" report says. "The convenience that mobile offers to consumers in the form of immediacy, simplicity and context translates into an opportunity that stretches beyond pure mobile retail sales: Next-generation mobile services will focus on customer engagement, multi-touchpoint sales and loyalty. Just as they are taking a risk by placing their bets too early, retailers run an equal risk of underinvesting in mobile."

Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Littleton Public Schools is offering free meals at both Field Elementary and East Elementary throughout the summer.
As part of the National School Lunch Program, all children are able to have both breakfast and lunch from Monday to Friday.
"Some people have been coming here for years and years," says Jeanne King, Littleton Public Schools food service director and a 32-year employee of the district. "Even day-care providers in their homes, they can come down with all their kids to get lunch."
The program also serves students in summer programs, whether by serving them in the cafeteria or packing them a sack lunch for a field trip. Anywhere from 70 to nearly 200 children are served meals every day at both schools and King would like to increase that number even more, ensuring that the schools serve to their full capacity.
An extension of the free or reduced lunches offered throughout the year, the summer lunch program was available to all schools in which more than 50 percent of the children attending had their lunches free of charge or at a reduced price.
At the two elementary schools where food is served, nearly 80 percent of the students receive financial assistance for their meals.
The program is federally financed, with no funds coming from the school district, due to what King calls "the hunger and joblessness of the last few years."
King has also ensured that the meals served are balanced and nutritious.
"We have five components," she says. "Protein, fruits, vegetables, bread, and milk, almost the same as during the school year."
Having seen the benefits of balanced meals due to the district's similar breakfast program during the school year, King is optimistic about the effect of the summer lunches.
"Behaviors have changed both in and out of the classroom," she says. "Their learning capabilities have improved and attendance has gotten much better."
Breakfast is served at East Elementary from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, and lunch is served at both East Elementary and Field Elementary from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Both breakfast and lunch are also offered at Littleton High School. Meals are free for kids and $3.40 for adults.

Pimco's Vineer Bhansali this morning explained why the asset-management firm isn't worried about traders frontrunning its Pimco Total Return mutual fund (PTTRX). Some observers voiced that worry before the launch of the Pimco Total Return ETF (BOND) earlier this year — the idea that traders would use data from the more transparent ETF companion to pick off bonds before the huge mutual fund buys them.
Short version: People already know what we're doing. Many still can't get ahead of us — they can't buy all the bonds we buy and they can't move as effectively.
"In equity land, with good reason there's [hesitancy] to have active ETFs. The minute you publicly disclose the portfolio, they can front-run you. They can do exactly the same thing," he said in a presentation at Morningstar's ETF Invest Conference in Chicago.
To the idea that BOND would open up PTTRX to the same problem, he had this to say: "To a certain degree they do [step in front of us]. Bill [Gross]'s point is that they do it already. If you believe our views are a secret, you're fooling yourself. … {and] even if you know what we're buying, not everybody can go buy that."

Naturalizing Jurisprudence: Three Approaches
Brian Leiter
University of Chicago
October 23, 2008
THE FUTURE OF NATURALISM, J. Shook & P. Kurtz, eds., Prometheus Books, Amherst, NY, 2009
U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper No. 246
General jurisprudence - that branch of legal philosophy concerned with the nature of law and adjudication - has been relatively unaffected by the "naturalistic" strains so evident, for example, in the epistemology, philosophy of mind and moral philosophy of the past forty years. This paper sketches three ways in which naturalism might affect jurisprudential inquiry. The paper serves as a kind of precis of the main themes in my book NATURALIZING JURISPRUDENCE: ESSAYS ON AMERICAN LEGAL REALISM AND NATURALISM IN LEGAL PHILOSOPHY (Oxford University Press, 2007).
