The NHL Lockout, and the possibility of the league using Replacement Players
Patrick Johnston
October 03 2012 12:27PM
Things got pretty extreme in 1987 (© Bettmann/CORBIS via mentalfloss)
(I should note that some credit for this piece should go to my brother, Rory Johnston, an aspiring sports lawyer, currently articling in Ontario. Follow him on twitter here. He helped to make sure my legal interpretations are correct.)
Bill Watters' recent rantings about replacement players being used as a bargaining tactic by the NHL's owners elicited a good question - would the NHL be allowed, legally, to use replacement players in Canada?
The NFL used replacement players in retaliation against a players' strike in 1987 and the players eventually capitulated. Watters has argued that should serve as a strong precedent for Gary Bettman & co. It's worked once in sports labour law, why not again?
The judgments returned by provincial labour relations board over the past few years have mostly clarified the situation.
BC, Quebec and lockout prohibitions
Only two jurisdictions in Canada prohibit the use of replacement workers - BC and Quebec. In BC's case, the 2007 judgement by the BC LRB against the certification of the BC-NHLPA made it clear that the NHLPA - NHL relationship did not fall under BC labour law. Only businesses regulated by the province are prohibited from using replacement workers; the judgement opened the door to the NHL using replacement workers in BC.
Quebec, on the other hand is murkier. With the recent ruling to carry forward with a full hearing on the legality of the NHL's lockout in La Belle Province, it remains to be seen if the NHL would even need to consider replacement players there. If the lockout were to be ruled illegal in Quebec, there would be no players to replace. Just think of the headline: "Real Habs Romp over Replacements to Seize Cup!"
The complication in Quebec, on top of it being a civil code jurisdiction - which treats the law quite differently from the common law system used in the rest of Canada - is that the province's labour law prohibits replacement workers being used in a recognized labour relationship. Because the NHLPA is not a recognized labour union in Quebec, this section of labour law does not govern the players.
So, if the players win their case in front of the QLRB, they will be given their jobs back and the lockout will be deemed illegal. If on the other hand, they lose their case, because the board decides to point to the existing labour relationship in the United States (as the BC board did), then the lockout would be legal and the league would be free to use replacement players.
It's an intriguing conundrum, and one wonders if the NHLPA lawyers arguing on behalf of the players in the Quebec case might try to use the logic of the second argument to their advantage. Since the NHLPA is not a recognized union under Quebec labour law, the Habs' players are protected instead by the other provisions of the law that deal with non-unionized employees. That was the argument initially presented to the QLRB - that since the NHLPA is not recognized in Quebec, that makes the Canadiens' players non-unionized workers. In Quebec, it is illegal to lockout non-unionized workers.
What it will come down to is how the Quebec tribunal views the law's position on out-of-province labour negotiations.
Replacement players are a massive PR gamble
Of course, the question of whether the NHL would even consider taking the massive PR gamble that using replacement players represents, is of another sort entirely. But do consider that in 1987, when the NFL used scabs to start the season, attendance was terrible and so were tv ratings. And that was also when sports tickets were cheap.
Fast-forward to today. Although one wonders how much solidarity fans really feel towards millionaire athletes, it is doubtful, surely, that they would be willing to play full-price for sub-standard NHL hockey.
But then again, people do pay plenty for pre-season hockey.
I find the concept insulting. I would a acknowledge replacement NHL as real hockey.
I find the concept insulting. I would a acknowledge replacement NHL as real hockey.
I mean, would NOT acknowledge it as real hockey.
October 03 2012, 02:32PM
Hypothetically, who would be willing to be a replacement player? Does the NHLPA represent anyone with a two-way contract? Would any career AHL'ers be willing to risk the social and professional wrath of their peers for a few games of sub-standard "glory"? Aren't we talking about ECHL, USHL level players who would never otherwise get a shot at "the show"...
Now if while replacement players were playing, what would tickets go for? You can bet no-one's going to be happy shelling out big $$$ to see third-rate pro hockey... so almost no single game sales, and you're basically hosing your season ticket base unless there is a big discount being offered.
I dunno, almost want to see it happen for the novelty value and the storylines that will be dredged up about Joe Schmuck who is finally living his dream...

For decades, Boy Scouts in Utah have made a difference in the lives of thousands by participating in the annual Scouting for Food Drive, one of the three largest statewide food drives held each year. On March 26, Boy Scouts statewide will again organize food pick up in their individual areas and take the donations to designated drop-off points. This food drive will be very important to the Carbon, Emery and Grand county food banks, these food banks serve Carbon, Emery and Grand county areas.
"Food drives provide Carbon, Emery and Grand county food banks with an extraordinary amount of non-perishable food," said Kathy Thomas, Coordinator of the Emery County Food Bank. "The small contributions of thousands of families really stock our shelves with items that last."
The number of people seeking assistance from the food bank continues to hover at above normal rates, serving around 670 families per month, about 260 more families each month than 2008.
"As we continue to serve hundreds of families, organized food drives become vital in our ability to provide assistance," said Collette Freestone, Program Manager for Carbon, Emery and Grand county food banks. "We recognize that when you're serving close to 1,418 individuals a month, you have to depend on the community. We can't do it alone. We need those people who can still give a little bit to do so. It really does add up."
In 2010, Boy Scouts provided Carbon, Emery and Grand county food banks with 14,499 pounds of food through the Scouting for Food Drive. Those donations allowed the agency to feed over 1,367 families. Food donations will start rolling into the local food banks, locations - Carbon - 75 East 400 South, Price. Emery - 40 South Center St. Castle Dale. Grand - 56 North 200 East, Moab, from 10 a.m. and continue until 2 p.m. Volunteers will be on site to help unload food as the Scouts, along with their leaders, arrive with the donations from their neighborhoods.

The Bureau of Land Management traveled to Fort A.P. Hill, an army base near Fredericksburg, Virginia, for the National Scout Jamboree, July 26-August 4, 2010. This year marks 100 years of Scouting in America and the BLM was there to help them celebrate.
The BLM was part of the Jamboree's "Conservation Trail". The Trail was almost a mile long, and offered scouts a great chance to practice their conservation skills or learn about some of today's important conservation challenges.
To celebrate and showcase the 10 th anniversary of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) in 2010, the BLM's exhibits on the Trail featured the outstanding natural and cultural resources of NLCS units in several states.

Small island communities represent some of the most vulnerable people on the planet to the impacts of climate variability and environmental change. This is why their voices are so powerful when heard above the clamour at international meetings designed to tackle these issues at the global scale.
From an archaeological perspective these island communities are particularly interesting as they have commonly been populated relatively late in the great human colonisation of our planet, often only arriving in these archipelagos in the late Holocene (past 5,000 years). Therefore archaeological studies in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, Pacific and elsewhere have revealed some fascinating narratives of how human communities have lived with the impacts of climatic variability and environmental change in these archipelagos. In particular these comparative island studies demonstrate how different decisions that people have taken have directly affected their relative vulnerability through time.
Within this context Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has often been heralded as a warning to the world, an example of a remote island community's inability to live within their means, chopping down all the trees on the island, over-exploiting the island's resources and self-inflicting their own demise. However, recent evidence offers a very different picture of what actually happened on Rapa Nui.
This new perspective to Rapa Nui's past is the focus of a documentary that I have worked on for BBC4, Easter Island: Mysteries of a Lost World. It uses the latest scientific and archaeological evidence to reveal a compelling new narrative, one that sees the famous Moai as only part of a complex culture that thrived in isolation. To this end, I argue that there are indeed important lessons to learn from Rapa Nui but they don't begin by blaming its inhabitants for their own downfall.

The state of the economy and the growing cost of living makes people to go for loans. However, not all loans are the same. Payday loans are essential sources of funds to handle urgent needs such as home repairs, medical bills, vehicle repair and vacation trips and many more.
If it is at the start of the month and you have exhausted your entire salary, you have the option of finding a payday loan provider to help you unlock your potential of handling emergencies. During such hard times, payday loans come in handy to redeem you from your financial problems and offer an alternative solution. Here is what payday loans can do for you:
Also known as fast cash or advance loans, payday loans are a unique solution for people who cannot wait for their next paycheck to deal with urgent issues. Since the loans are provided urgently, they attract relatively higher interest rates compared to ordinary loans.
However, this may be viewed as a general perception of the nature of payday loans in the UK. CNN You can still choose the best payday loan that carries the best interest rates in the market. With the current demand for urgent cash among borrowers, lenders are coming up with different lending conditions for their potential borrowers.
The repayment period of the payday loans is between two weeks to one month and delays in repayment may affect the borrower's credit record alongside attracting penalties. Therefore, borrowers must take necessary precautions when taking payday loans.
One astonishing thing about payday loans is the fact that these loans have a fast approval, something every borrower would want to see when looking for a loan. These loans can be approved within 24 hours. In addition, these loans involve little to no paperwork. All you may be required to do is to bid a few of your details and you are hooked to your solution. These details include your bank details such as the your checking account, employment details and proof of income, age proof and the amount of loan you want to borrow. If you have a bad credit, this should not be a hurdle. Your payday loan will be approved without looking at your credit ratings.
If the past state of the economy and what is happening across financial markets indicators to go by, it is clear that more and more people continue to dig deeper into their pockets to cope with the high cost of living. This means the demand for fast cash is poised to increase significantly over the next couple of years.
Fortunately for people who have challenges dealing with financial needs, there is a reliable helping hand that they can rely on for immediate help. Bank loans can take weeks to months before it is approved. Therefore, if you are looking for quick cash, the solution lies in applying for paydayloans http://green-touch.org/.
How to be approved
It is no doubt the laws governing payday loans are lax, but lenders have put in place several terms to help ensure borrowers don't dig deeper into their pockets. To ensure the loans are paid, one will need to show a proof of employment by availing the pay stubs for the last three months. Depending on the amount of income one has, the borrower will only borrow a certain amount of loan a lender thinks is within the limits.

Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast is a SpongeBob SquarePants amusement ride. In this amusement ride, Jimmy and Carl go on a wild tour of Nicktoon Studios and also go to Bikini Bottom.
The ride was closed on August 17, 2011 and it was replaced by Despicable Me Minion Mayhem on July 2, 2012.

- Squidward Tentacles (cameo)
- Mrs. Puff (non-speaking cameo)

- Zim (cameo)
- Dib (cameo)
- GIR (cameo)
- Tommy Pickles
- Chuckie Finster
Right in front of the audience is a giant metal door with a large letter "N" for Neutron on the front. All of a sudden, the door opens and the rockets follow Jimmy, Carl, and Goddard out through the hole in the wall and enter Nicktoon Studios. There are a lot of Nicktoon cameos to spot throughout the aerial pursuit, but this part of the ride has the most. Jimmy then warns the audience to watch out for the giant Slime Tower as the rockets head into Arnold's neighborhood. Straight ahead is the Rugrats sound stage where the characters are enjoying a Reptar-themed birthday party at Tommy Pickles' house.
As Jimmy's rocket swoops in to follow Ooblar through the house, Goddard activates his roboclaw on Jimmy's command and grabs Angelica who is then carried through the house and up the stairs. The rockets then crash through an upstairs bedroom window as Angelica is dumped on the bed, and enter The Fairly OddParents sound stage where Jimmy asks Cosmo and Wanda to help them get the Mark IV back. However, Cosmo's antics get in the way and Wanda asks him to give his wand to Carl to help stop Ooblar. Carl then makes Ooblar disappear to the Yolkian planet and Wanda grants Jimmy's wish to follow him.
On the Yolkian planet, Jimmy, Carl, and Goddard meet up with King Goobot who introduces them to Poultra, a gigantic alien chicken from the movie. While trying to flee from Poultra, the Mark IV is destroyed by her breath while simultaneously causing Jimmy's rocket to lose power and Ooblar to be turned into a fried egg. Carl uses Cosmo's wand to return to Earth where they crash land into Bikini Bottom where SpongeBob and Patrick are jellyfishing in Jellyfish Fields.
SpongeBob is excited to see a "rocket-powered jellyfish" (Jimmy's rocket) and immediately gives chase by diving off a cliff onto Jimmy and then being pulled along behind the rocket in water skiing fashion. While hastily cruising around Bikini Bottom, Jimmy's rocket collides into the Krusty Krab, causing Mr. Krabs to unintentionally hitch a ride along with SpongeBob. Jimmy then drags SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs underwater to a large pipe that leads back to his rocket lab. As the water drains into the floor, a very angry King Goobot shows up and traps Jimmy and Goddard in a floating bubble while forcing the audience and Carl to listen to the Chicken Dance as the seats move and bounce to the song.
Carl manages to break free of the hypnotic music and uses Cosmo's wand, (which he still has), to blast King Goobot's staff where he controls the music and the bubble. Jimmy and Goddard are freed and King Goobot is reduced to a quivering mass after his shell is broken. Carl then starts wishing up tons of llamas as Jimmy thanks the audience for saving the universe. The door with the large letter "N" closes and the ride attendants congratulate the guests on a job well done.
- When Jimmy's rocket wing cuts the pineapple into pieces, its remains make a can that has SpongeBob's picture on it, then flying in we can see Painty the Pirate in a picture frame.
- SpongeBob breaks the fourth wall during the Bikini Bottom scene. While being flung around through the town, he calls out to the fish, saying "Hello secondary characters!"
- During the Rugrats scene, the Pixar Luxo Ball makes a cameo.

International Tax Relations: Theory and Implications
Diane M. Ring
Boston College - Law School
Tax Law Review, Vol. 60, p. 83, 2007
Boston College Law School Research Paper No. 97
How do countries resolve conflicts over taxation? When and under what circumstances are they able to reach agreement? The international tax literature has devoted tremendous resources to considering substantive issues in international taxation. Little attention, however, has been directed to how conflict is handled - essentially the "relations" aspect of international tax.
Drawing upon valuable work ("regime theory") from the international relations field, Part I of the paper develops a model for evaluating when countries are likely to reach a resolution on a significant issue of tax law or procedure (i.e., create a regime). Part II then applies the model to the most well known agreement in international tax, the formation of a "regime" for addressing the pervasive problem of double taxation. Based on that analysis, the paper draws a number of specific conclusions about the case study. Part III offers more general observations about regime formation in international tax, and outlines a detailed research agenda for further developing our understanding of when regimes will and will not be formed. This improved knowledge of the relations in international tax will enhance our ability to predict the shape of international disagreements, and consider strategies likely to support regime formation.

Churchill Art Piece Called Into Question
by CBS4 News reporter Raj Chohan
Feb 24, 2005 8:03 pm US/Mountain BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) Boulder County resident Duke Prentup has been a fan of native American art for as long as he can remember. That love of art took him to the home of Ward Churchill in the early 1980's, where Prentup bought several pieces of Churchill's art, including a serigraph titled "Winter Attack."
"I have enjoyed them ever since immensely, they're obviously up inside my house," Prentup said.
Last month came a stunning revelation, though, as as Prentup flipped through a 1972 book called The Mystic Warriors of the Plains written and illustrated by the late artist Thomas E. Mails. He found a sketch that was strikingly similar to the Churchill piece.
(Excerpt) See the rest of the article, and photo comparisons of the 2 pieces of art here: http://news4colorado.com/topstories/local_story_055200531.html

It is up at GoGov.com
I clicked on it and it took me right to MY "My Ebay" page. LOL!
Thanks :) And with that I am going to bed! Good night all. West Coast signing off early for a change.
unbelievable...you couldn't make this stuff up.
She's that Berry, CyberAnt.
Long time friend of Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton too.
I'm no cynic, but still I think you're a cock-eyed optimist.
He got 200 hits to his auction in less than 10 minutes. It will go into the thousands.
I beginning to think you are the Forrest, Forrest Gump of our time.
Like when Forrest said, "Sorry about breaking up your Black Panther Party."
Check your Freepmail, please.
Wow! Look at all those left-handed indians!
you IT
I had to log into ebay using my own name and password. I think your safe. (But I'm not an IT guy...)
What do you mean, what do you mean??? (I sure hope it's good....it's too late to start a fight......LOL)
I doubt if they care that it's bogus. My prediction --- After WC (appropriate initials, by the way) goes down in flames, the LibRads will say he was the victim of a Vast RWC and there will be a myth of epic proportion built around him. When this happens, his forged art will be resold for a great deal more than it is now. Sad but true.
Good grief .. the whole liberal cabal is unraveling all over the place .. LOL!!
There is a scripture which says, "Everything hidden will be revealed". Looks like the revealing has begun!
Forrest seemed to be in on so many of the important events of his era. So are you.
You go, kid.
Did you see this? More fake Indian news.
I looked at it, then copied the item number, and went into my own eBay accout & searched, and got the American page.
The page posted is on eBay's Taiwan site.
That written item description is enough to gag a maggot off a gut wagon.
I'm an alumnus of CU twice over, but it's been many years since I donated anything to them. I feel not one bit guilty about that.
Well .. if she hired him - then it proves how ignorant she really is.
Me? Huh......I'm not the one who alerted the world that the shuttle was missing; that would be you!
All kidding aside, these are my VERY favorite FR threads......I'm sitting here just laughing all by myself!
Read #111!
Re: your post #111. My God you are right! They are all left handed! LMAO.
Churchill will counter with his "artistic license", thus making this an original.
Why would Ward paint such a thing? A band of oppressed left-handed Indians?
You're absolutely right. A fraud, through and through. No originality, nothing. Sad, really. I suspect we'll be hearing more about this man's fraudulent body of work. But on the upside, it does give the Board of Regents more ammunition to get rid of him.
Starting a thread while watching NASA-TV is child's play.
You, and others, do the heavy lifting.
I wonder how Katie might cover this story?
I was surprised she was there; I thought she's the type that would have never left "the coasts."
LOL...I'm just laughing and laughing here..........LOL......I love the left-handed thing!
On the other hand, it is well known in academic circles that you do not use others concepts without proper citation - that is called PLAGERISM. And a guy could get fired from a University for that.
It's not the thread, friend; it's knowing when it's been too long. You knew that.
We need to get word to Ryan Mails that his dads work ala Churchill is on Ebay!
You're probably right. But it's notoriety will be earned through its fraudulent nature and folks will at least know the truth about it.
Has Olberman declaring that Rove is behind this? Is Lousie Slaughter is on the case?
Me too, Howlin, just laughing and laughing. Worked late tonight, couldn't sleep, and here I am, happy to have passed on the News4 story while it was still fresh.
He's so handsome dontcha think?
I was thinking the same thing because eBay has strict rules against Copyright infringement. But the copyright owner has to complain to eBay.
yeah,...time for that,you bet
There have been 140 replies on this thread and over 1500 views. We all would be amazed at who lurks out there. Watch for "spin-off" articles over the weekend based on this thread. Nice going.
You did great! This made my day. I'll be sorry tomorrow night when my 4 grandkids (under 5) are here though!
I think the reporter Raj Chohan might want to know also....
A cock-eyed optimist?
Oh no. I'm just a simple country boy who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.
Yes, sir. Write him right now!
When I posted that eBay page in #57, there were 162 views of it.........it's over 600 now!
yeah,...though the Andale counter on that eBay listing still says 228,...it is much more,not real-time update
A. Right handedness is a Colonialist trait, so the
Indians Native Americans must be portrayed in opposition.
B. He's a Leftist, so had to artistically portray the metaphor.
C. He wasn't smart enough to realize that by reversing the image, he was also reversing the handedness.
D. Both B & C

I'm here, and I'm reading this thread basically every day. But unfortunately no news yet other than what I've already posted before. That we plan to include improvements for this in the ICS update.
Router solution:
1. Go to Router settings (Example: http://192.168.1.1)
2. Wifi settings
3. Advanced
4. Change Band (Auto > 11)
5. Wifi Type (Auto > "b" or "g")
I have SE xperia NEO few months but I can agree that there is a bug when connected to wifi AP 802.11n. It always drops connection even more when you try to transfer more data. It is totally useless in this case.
At home I had to switch to 802.11g what slowing down my whole network. When I am outside and I try to use 802.11n wifi network I cannot use it because it drops again if I am able to connect. So I have always pray that in the airport or hotel they will have 802.11bg wifi network to be able to use wifi connection.
I cannot understand that some mobile phone manufacturer is able to sell phones with wifi bug and even try to tell everyone that the problem is AP. Why other devices works correctly?
I hope that this bug issue will be solved in ICS soon otherwise I am going to refund the phone. By the way the second big issue is that GPS loses position every 5minutes for 30 seconds if you don't have internet connection.So GPS is useless as well now.
Could someone from SE team here prove that these major issues will be solved in ICS?
Thank you for reply
hi johan and users
unfortunately I do not know why some days the arc s working well and no problems with the netgear home! (dg834v5). great but inscrutable, I have not changed settings. I am not aware that you have released new firmware of the router! I'm not using the static ip, but I also like the one assigned to the office and the other house.
Now when I get home leads immediately and do not disconnect!
I know that this fact will not help anyone, but I wanted to testify!
Only one thing I have noticed that now the router assigns the ip ending with .... 04 instead of 02 ..... that was when there were problems ..
Hi, Recently i got my software update on my xperia arc s. When i switch my WIFI on, i can easily use it, without any problem, but as soon as i lock my screen, it disappeared, i need to reconnect it each time i lock my screen. Before updatin the software, i didnt have this problem but now am having it. Plzzzzz give me some feedback to solve this problem.
This happen to me with some firmwares, for example 3.0.xxx.145
probably solved with last 0.62
However in not properly a Sony bug, but a lack in the android code releted to sleep policy.
Set in to "never" don't help.
Sometimes Sony corrected this, sometimes not, but there are many apps that correct it, try "advanced wifi lock".
This of course is not part of the main problem reported here.
I bought this phone and wasn't informed by Sony about this problem. I am waiting for fixing this problem for 2 months and I'm seriously dissapointed... WHEN WILL YOU DO SOMETHING?!
No, they won't do anything about this. I've spoken with Sony's worker who's responsible for consumers. He said that they didn't see any porblem and it was my imagination. Very bad move of Sony, especially that it's not a minory problem. Nevertheless, I went to the Office of fair Trading and they ssay that I have big chance to get a recompensation. I advise all of you to do that, it has been long time ago when Sony should have solved this problem but they haven't done this. If we do this all myabe Sony will understand that this isn't the way to treat costumers.
I have the same problem WiFi dropping every time when a large file is downloaded.
I have the phone for 1 month and i like it verry much. The only problem is the WiFi Please Sony repair this.
Yes, the reception is terrible !!!
The max level of dbm reveived bu the phone is 45dbm if you put it 5 cm near the router .
If you go at least 5 meters distant from the router antenna, you can see one less bar in the icon and 55 dbm . Other phones, also very cheap, get 30 dbm as max reception value !!!! and when the Arc has two bars, they have 4 bars.
In my little 3x4m room far from the router, 3 bar, that's incredible !
Chinese hardware and also bad softare !!!
You can see what is happening in the Xperia S, yellow tint, gps bug, bad audio in the capsule, bad covers etc. I think Sony is showing the worst possibile, and many many people in my country are very disappointed and return the phone, is enough read the forums to see the terrible situation.
Now we are their beta tester because they don't spend money to test the phone, doing some quality control.
It's the market law, no more hardware cure, but the mind in only to maximize the profit !!!

Sign in for member information and resources.
A little planning at the beginning of school can pay big dividends as you go through the coming school year. Getting started on the right foot can make all the difference.
Here are some things to consider as you plan for the months ahead:
Build relationships. Be courteous to all school staff. Get involved in school activities and school staff functions.
Give your classroom some class. Try decorating your classroom in a manner that will catch the eyes of your students and give them something to think about at the same time.
Introduce yourself. Try having the teachers in your building write a biographical sketch of themselves to post outside their classrooms. You never know when a student may find he or she has something in common with a teacher and is able to strike up a relationship that could be a positive learning experience.
Establish the rules. If you want discipline to work during the year, start off by establishing class rules right at the beginning. (They probably should number no more than five.) Let the students have a role in establishing them. If the kids feel a part of them, they will have more of a tendency to follow the rules. Rules should be written and posted in the classroom.
Check school policy. If you intend to teach subject matter that borders on controversy, be sure you are within board policy. Keep your personal views on religion and politics to yourself.
Get organized. Start off the year by getting your personal papers organized. You never know when you may have to produce a document related to your job.
Keep records. During the year, you may have expenditures that could be deductions on your income tax. Now is the time to set aside a place for keeping tax records and to start keeping track of them.
Improve yourself. Set your sights on improving your professional ability in at least one area during the coming year. Decide how best to go about doing so.
Set a class goal. You can develop some spirit among class members if you have a project you are working toward. Perhaps a holiday project to help a needy family, a class trip or a class party at the end of the year. Start your planning early in the fall to build enthusiasm.
Build class spirit. If you teach elementary youngsters, you might try giving your class a name such as the "Bumblebees from Room Three."
Play the name game. One way to get everyone, including yourself, to know everyone else in the room quickly is to play the name game. The first person in row one says, "I'm John." The second person says, "That's John and I'm Mary." The third person: "That's John and Mary and I'm Susan." Continue around the room until every one has called off everyone else's name.
Develop resources. Develop your own sources of information and your resource list. Know where to get help when you need it. How can you deal with the lack of instructional materials offered by the district? Keep your eyes open for free and inexpensive materials such as those published in Action. Determine what materials you want students to collect from home and when you will need them.
Look for some hope. Give yourself a lift toward getting into a positive frame of mind by watching for something hopeful. It may be the student who comes up to you and gives you an indication he or she learned something within the first week of school. Maybe it's the child who speaks to you in the parking lot and uses your correct name!
Be realistic. Don't let your sincere concern for each child turn into a depressing experience through a fear of failure. You will not win the battle with every student.
Be prepared for special students. You may have students with special learning problems or physical handicaps. Don't expect those problems to work themselves out. Plan from the beginning how you will deal with them in the best interests of the student, yourself and the rest of the class.
Think about health. Make an early determination about how you will handle students with special health problems. Do you know what to do if you have a student subject to epileptic seizures? Be sure to know the school's policy on administering medicine to students.
Don't overlook the gifted. Once you determine you have a student in your class who could be considered gifted, don't delay in making arrangements to meet his/her specific abilities.
Find a shoulder. Every teacher needs a colleague to turn to for special advice or simply to unburden themselves about a special classroom challenge. If you don't have a buddy, get one.
Get parents involved. Determine how you will involve parents in your students' education during the coming year. Is there any special way to approach parent-teacher conferences? Are there any special messages you want to send home to parents? How will you deal with parents who want to help their students learn?
Do your best. Determine from previous experience what factors keep you from doing your job during the school year. Then figure out a way to work around them. For example: How will you work with too many students in your class? How will you deal with parents who want to help their students learn?
Communicate with parents. If you teach primary grades, send a note home early informing parents that you need time to get to know pupils before you can comment on them. Let them know that you are available, however, and list the process and times for getting in touch with you. For parents of older students, you might want to introduce yourself and include your policy on homework.
Know your rights. Read or reread your contract so that you will know your rights.
Plan lessons. Develop your lessons on the basis of what you think your students need to know and then determine the best way of teaching those things.
Support your association. Join your local education association for the moral support of people who understand the difficulty of your job.
Make a good impression. Whatever else you do, give the class the impression from the beginning that you are well organized. Your students must get the feeling right off that you are prepared and know what you are doing.
Build an attitude. You have the opportunity from the first day forward to help your students determine whether school is drudgery or a serious undertaking that can have its fun moments as well. If you for one moment give the impression that being in class is a chore for you, that attitude will be reflected by your students.
Foster curiosity. Keep in mind that if you want your students to be curious, you have to create an atmosphere that encourages curiosity and doesn't stifle it.
Start off slowly. Go over your material slowly during the first grading period so that most students can find some success while the material is not too difficult.
Set a positive tone. Send a positive note home with every student at some time during the year. Catch the kids being good!
Keep the principal informed. If you plan to do anything new or unusual this year, make certain you mention it to your building administrator in advance.
Brief your students.At the high school level particularly, let your students know early exactly what you expect of them in your course. Most students will rise to the teacher's expectations.
And finally... Keep these three qualities of good teaching in mind: be flexible, be patient and have a sense of humor.
Questions to ask during your first days of school.

I'm bringing back my old theory about Pain being the host for remaining bijuu that Akatsuki has yet to sniff out. He may be either the 5 tailed beast, Gobi, or the 8 tailed beast, Hachibi.
五尾 | 彭侯 – Five Tails (Gobi), Houkou
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts: Houkou is a bijuu which looks like a five-tailed dog. Each tail of this creature represents one elemental power: Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning and Fire. They can cause catastrophic damage when used. Houkou will willingly destroy the nature to obtain the power he desires from these elements. He was once badly injured when he and Nekomata challenged Kyuubi. Strangely enough, he is the god of Illusion. Houkou lives in a giant, ancient tree.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods: Battled 4 times; 3 Wins, 1 Loss
Wins: Sokou, Nekomata, Raijuu
Losses: Kyuubi
Fate: After receiving a severe wound, Houkou runs away to one of Japan's islands, and hides in a place near Kyushu's Volcano - a giant tree, to heal his wound. But the tree's concrete position is not known by anyone.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A species of dog, with 5 long tails. Has a white coloured body. Each of the tails possess one of the five elemental powers, that used simultaneously can cause a big earthquake.
Ability: Attacking using mixture of elements; Houkou is skilled in each kind of element ability, and can also create instantaneously each kind of natural disaster.
Bijuu Strength Ranking: 3rd
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking: 5th
Symbolic Element: Illusion (Being the god of Illusions)
Origin / Discovered in: Near one of Kyushu's volcanoes (Akase Lava Volcano, probably)
八尾 | 八岐大蛇 - Eight Tails (Hachibi), Yamata no Orochi
(Also known as Hachimata)
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts: Yamata no Orochi is a Snake bijuu. It has crimsom red eyes, eight heads and eight tails (also depicted to having trees and vines growing around them) and has the power of the Demon world, a symbol of evil. Each head of Yamata no Orochi represents a symbol: Soul, Ghost, Evil, Devil, Monstrous, Kill, The Afterworld and Death.
Its powers were originally weak, the members of the Kusanagi clan, when attacking it, acted carelessly, using the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Oro's sword). Because of that, as a consequence, Yamata no Orochi takes the sword from them, absorbing the power contained inside, and becoming an incredibly powerful creature, and finally storing it in its body.
With the new power, Yamata no Orochi releases an insane amount of dark energy, awakening the other Bijuu and becoming arrogant. Yamata no Orochi proceeds to defeat many of the Bijuu, but when it battles with Kyuubi, it is defeated. The cause of this is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, making even a hole in the Kusanagi sword. As this happens, it shows how tremendously powerful Kyuubi is, deserving of the "King of Bijuu" title. Not even Sarutobi and Enma (I'm not sure how those two are into the legend) could scratch the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. (That makes connections to the Oro x Sandaime battle)
Legend also depicted it as having a power able to rival Kyuubi's [in quality], but the fact is, Yamata no Orochi's does have a limit.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods: Battled 5 times; 4 Wins, 1 Losses
Wins: Shukaku, Isonade, Kaku, Raijuu
Losses: Kyuubi
Fate: Yamata no Orochi awaits a genius of the Yagami (NOT the Kanji of Yagami from Death Note, but Yagami as in Eight Gods: 八神) clan, which is the arch enemy of the Kusanagi clan. The purpose is to awake it [Yamata no Orochi], in order to fight Kyuubi again.
Since Yamata no Orochi's power inherits in the Yagami Clan, If the heir appears as the first genius in 1000 years that is able to awake Yamata no Orochi's ability, it will be completely restored. Once the process is done, the genius with such crucial task will be destroyed due to the true body of Yamata no Orochi resurfacing, which has an all-new power. It won't be found before the decisive battle with Kyuubi, and will be able to kill no matter of thing, destroy any type of place, and attain infinite vision (as Kyuubi has). The core of Yamata no Orochi's power is in a kind of forbidden sealing jutsu. As soon as the Yagami clan heir comprehends enough of it, a bigger, much stronger power will surface in the grasp of Yamata no Orochi.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A super Snake of Eight heads and Eight tails, attached to a single body. Has a deep brown color. It definitely is the biggest bijuu - the lenghth of it is over eight mountains. Originally, it was weaker than Houkou and Nekomata; however, that was 1000 years before a brave warrior tried defeating it with the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. In the process, the sword's power is absorbed instead by Yamata no Orochi, thus greatly expanding his power. He continues though to be able to use freely the sword in his belly.
Ability: The legendary sword: Kusanagi no Tsurugi; summoning of evil spirits
Bijuu Strength Ranking: 2nd
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking: 2nd
Symbolic Element: Devil
Origin / Discovered in: An old battlefield in Osaka
Personal notes: Now, everyone knows this one resembles Orochimaru, but what I like is the "Yagami genius" legend, which OF COURSE screams Sasuke.
More info about Yamata no Orochi:
There is the story of the killing of the Eight-Headed Serpent by Susanoo. According to the legend, a local town had been living in fear of the Serpent, and the townspeople offered the sacrifice of a young girl each year to keep it appeased. Lord Susano heard about the town's dilemma, and became determined to slay the beast. He exterminated the serpent by serving it alcohol, and then cutting off its heads while it was intoxicated. Between the Kagura performances, this one is the most famous.
(Taken from a thread posted by K-oz - http://www.mangashare.com/forums/nar...ed-naruto.html )
If Kishi was influenced alot by the legend of the tailed beasts then he probably made the bijuu in the manga as power as they are said to be in the myth. Meaning Kyuubi is the strongest, Hachibi being second, and Gobi being third. I say Pain could be the jinchuuriki for the 5 tailed beast cause his ability to control the weather with jutsu(so it seems) Its said that Gobi is pretty well skilled in all the elements. Also now that we can assume that Pain may have more then one body we can also assume that he has different abilities and jutsus that he uses with these bodies. To me it would suit the power of the 5 tailed beast, Gobi. But if Gobi was already captured then he may be the 8 tailed beast Hachibi. Going by the legend you would think Hachibi would be more suited for Orochimaru but with the rumors going around about Pain and how powerful he is, I thought that he may be the container for the 8 tailed bijuu since Hachibi is considered to be the second strongest bijuu in the legend.
This is all just speculation and assuming that Kishi took great interest in chinese mythology and the legend of the bijuu.

THP increasing patrols to lower fatalities
FALL BRANCH, Tenn. - Tennessee Highway Patrol is ramping up efforts to lower fatalities on local roads.
It's a six-month campaign by THP, working with local law enforcement focusing on Sullivan, Greene, and Cocke counties.
Officials say these three counties had more than 100 deaths from 2010 to 2012.
Police are using two strategies to lower fatalities, those include working with teen drivers and increasing patrols.
"We have numerous sobriety checkpoints planned, we've got some seat belt checkpoints that will be enforced and officers are going to be looking for those who still choose to text and drive," said Steve Dillard with the Governor's Highway Safety Office.
Police tell us in Greene and Sullivan counties investigators worked more than 600-crashes caused by impaired drivers from 2010 to 2012.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Ban Calls For A Green Economy As Crucial For A Sustainable Future
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for "revolutionary action" to achieve sustainable development, warning that the past century's heedless consumption of resources is "a global suicide pact" with time running out to ensure an economic model for survival.
"Let me highlight the one resource that is scarcest of all: time," he told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in a session devoted to redefining sustainable development. "We are running out of time. Time to tackle climate change. Time to ensure sustainable, climate-resilient green growth. Time to generate a clean energy revolution."
Describing sustainable development the growth agenda for the 21st century, Mr. Ban recited a litany of development errors based on a false belief in the infinite abundance of natural resources that fuelled the economy in the last century.
"We mined our way to growth," he said. "We burned our way to prosperity. We believed in consumption without consequences. Those days are gone. In the 21st century, supplies are running short and the global thermostat is running high."
All this now needs rethinking to secure the balanced development that will lift people out of poverty while protecting the planet and ecosystems that support economic growth, he told the assembly of heads of State and government, international economists, business and industry leaders and civil society at the meeting in Davos.
"Here at Davos - this meeting of the mighty and the powerful, represented by some key countries - it may sound strange to speak of revolution," he said. "But that is what we need at this time. We need a revolution. Revolutionary thinking. Revolutionary action. A free market revolution for global sustainability.
"The ancients saw no division between themselves and the natural world. They understood how to live in harmony with the world around them. It is time to recover that sense of living harmoniously for our economies and our societies," said Mr. Ban.
"Not to go back to some imagined past, but to leap confidently into the future with cutting-edge technologies, the best science and entrepreneurship has to offer, to build a safer, cleaner, greener and more prosperous world for all. There is no time to waste," he warned.
"It is easy to mouth the words 'sustainable development,' but to make it happen we have to be prepared to make major changes - in our lifestyles, our economic models, our social organization, and our political life," Mr. Ban told the meeting in Davos.
And he called on governments both in Davos and around the world to send the right signals to build the Green Economy. "Together, let us tear down the walls," he declared. "The walls between the development agenda and the climate agenda. Between business, government and civil society. Between global security and global sustainability."
The business and industrial community will clearly have a key role in the transition to a Green Economy. Mr. Ban called on business leaders to join the 11-year-old United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest corporate responsibility initiative committing businesses to aligning their operations and strategies with 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
At a separate event, he also launched the Global Compact Lead with a group of 54 global companies as founding members, who have committed to be at the cutting edge of environmental, social and governance issues, joining forces to translate sustainable development principles into business operations and deepening partnerships with the entire UN system.
"When companies like yours drive sustainability issues deeper into your operations and strategy, year after year, you send a powerful signal. Indeed, you change the world," he told the business leaders. "In this century far more than the last, we need business to achieve our fundamental purposes at the United Nations.
Mr. Ban's message on the Green Economy at Davos has become a pillar of his global message on how the world must generate energy and manage its natural assets to ensure sustainable development for future generations.
Last month at a meeting in New York on the Green Economy, Mr. Ban stressed that while the past two decades has seen considerable economic growth, it has come at the cost of depleting the Planet's natural resources.
"Will the 9 billion people who will inhabit this planet in 2050 have the opportunity to thrive? Or will vast numbers merely struggle to survive ... or worse, see their world descend into chaos? This is the fundamental question of sustainable development," he warned.
"A country can cut its forests and deplete its fisheries, and it shows only as a positive gain in GDP, ignoring the corresponding decline in assets," Mr. Ban told participants, including economist Professor Jeffrey Sachs. "We need to revise our accounting and embrace a low-carbon, resource-efficient, pro-poor economic model," he added.
Mr. Ban stressed that it is the Green Economy that can help to unlock the door to a safer, more peaceful and prosperous world and will be the core of his priorities in the runup to the preparations for the 2012 Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
Twenty years earlier in Rio, the Earth Summit provided the concept for sustainable development. "Then we were just glimpsing the emerging challenges of climate change, desertification, land degradation and the loss of species," recalls Mr. Ban. Today, however, many of those concerns have become urgent and have yet to see comprehensive action or results, he added.
Mr. Ban announced that this month the UN Environment Programme will unveil its latest Green Economy report which will show how green economic thinking can unleash the government policies and business opportunities that will power green growth, reduce poverty and bring the benefits of sustainable development to all.

Here's one way to add and mount additional LVM partition in xen guest machines.

2.) Update xen config to add new partition to guest os. Assign device name to it, example "xvda3". Then re-create the VM to recognize the new partition/device. Note: reboot doesn't read the new xen configuration.

3.) After you reboot, login to VM and mount the new partition. New drive or partition shoud be in "/dev/xvda3."
Add it to "/etc/fstab" to automount on reboot.

I LOVE these boots!
"I needed new boots that I could wear to work & out casually. I saw these and thought I'd try them out and at worst I'd return them. I tried them on and thought "Okay, cute & fit but I'm sure I won't be able to wear them all day at work." Well, going on hour number 9 & my feet are as comfortable as they were at 10:00 am this morning. I'm so happy I purchased these boots."

WASHINGTON has developed a habit in recent years of designating itself, its Nato allies and assorted hangers-on as "the international community."
By that token, the international community has suffered a crushing defeat at the UN general assembly where opponents of the US blockade of Cuba scored an historic 188-3 landslide victory.
The international community has now shrunk to the US, its partner in crime and gold medallist in US aid receipts Israel and tiny Palau, the beneficiary of $250 million from Washington in 2010 as part of a "compact of free association" between the two sides to help to concentrate its mind.
The Marshall Islands, which is also bankrolled by the US under a compact of free association and hosts Washington's Ronald Reagan ballistic missile defence test site, felt secure to abstain on the issue.
Similarly with Micronesia, another poverty-stricken beneficiary of US largess to the tune of $100m a year and free access for its citizens to work in the US in return for allowing its territory to be used for military bases.
US diplomat Ronald Godard, who drew the short straw to justify the ongoing blockade, called it "one of the tools in our overall efforts to encourage respect for the human rights and basic freedoms to which the United Nations itself is committed."
In other words, the US considers it has a messianic role to choose how to defend UN values even when 188 of the organisation's 193 member states say it is wrong.
It may appear to many people — or the international community, to coin a phrase — that this attitude is based on supreme imperial arrogance.
Unfortunately, it is based more on political cowardice than overconfidence.
Candidates from both major US parties still subscribe to the fairytale caricature of Cuba as an island of subversion in thrall to the Soviet Union, which hasn't existed for over 20 years.
They buckle before the onslaught of the anti-Cuba right-wing Cuban-American lobby as they have bowed the knee to the Aipac pro-zionist machine.
And there is no longer any need to do so.
Cuban-Americans are no longer the undifferentiated reactionary mass of the 1960s and 1970s, largely composed of bitter anti-communists still mourning their wealth and power lost to the 1959 revolution.
Most recent immigrants left their homeland for economic reasons, with three-quarters of Cubans who migrated to the US from 1994 onwards backing unrestricted travel to Cuba and 70 per cent wanting diplomatic relations restored.
The recent US presidential election witnessed a sea change in Florida, where Barack Obama took the state with a big swing of Cuban Americans.
Even in Miami's Little Havana they swung behind Democrat Joe Garcia, dumping anti-Cuba hardliner David Rivera, the sitting Republican.
There is nothing whatsoever to gain by President Obama remaining wedded to an inhuman and futile policy.
As Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez told the UN, Obama "has the constitutional powers that would enable him to listen to the public opinion and generate the necessary dynamics, by means of executive decisions, even without the approval of the Congress."
Such a political initiative would be welcome at any time, but in the wake of hurricane Sandy, which devastated both the eastern US and eastern Cuba, it could lay the basis for a new era of US-Cuba relations.
And it would guarantee, as Rodriguez put it, Obama's "historical legacy."

"This Week" @ Inside Higher Ed, the Tambellini Report, and other random thoughts
By User9147039-Oracle on Apr 29, 2014
I realize it's been some time since my last post - updating blogs in short, stream-of-consciousness bursts doesn't always come naturally. However I do have a number of somewhat unrelated items that I want to highlight.
First off, I'm very pleased that Oracle Education & Research will be a founding sponsor of the upcoming "This Week" @ Inside Higher Ed weekly audio newscast. This will be in many respects very much like a "meet the press" weekly program that will touch on the timely and relevant topics in education technology, along with the policies, funding, and cultural and political dynamics and issues that are prevalent in our industry. Casey Green is spearheading this effort with Inside Higher Ed, and we are extremely pleased to sponsor what we believe will be a strong contributor to the dialog that needs to take place as our industry undergoes significant change and transformation. As are part of our participate in the "This Week" series, we will be engaging in quarterly podcasts with Casey to talk about Oracle's position in the industry and where we see our industry solutions playing a role in enabling some of the transformation I just referenced. The first of these will take place on May 7, 9am PT, "Pathways to Student Success" webinar. Register for this webinar where my colleague, Mark Armstrong, and I discuss Oracle's latest investment for Student Success with moderator, Casey Green. Lastly, here's where you can go to get more subscriber information about This Week" @ Inside Higher Ed weekly audio newscast.
In other developments, the 2014 Tambellini Report (created and distributed by Tambellini Group, LLC) was released this week (week of April 28) and shows extremely strong results for Oracle in the Student Information Systems market, with nearly three times the selections of any other competitor. This validates a couple of trends I've commented on previously: that we are entering a era where the business systems of higher education implemented 10+ years ago are in need of a refresh, and the staying power of niche vendors who lack the breadth and depth of a multi-industry, multi national company like Oracle are being severely challenged.
Finally I wanted to highlight a number of the topics and agenda themes that we'll be discussing at our upcoming summer Industry Strategy Council meeting in Washington DC: Cyber Security in Higher Education, Student Success, Information Discovery in Higher Education, and SaaS business applications for Higher Education. We'll be joined by our Chief Security Officer Mary Ann Davidson, Jamie Studley from DoED, and several members of congress from committees focused on higher education policy. We are welcoming several new members to the council including Vanderbilt University, Seneca College, and the University of Chicago. We're looking forward to a content-rich two-days in downtown DC! Stay tuned where I'll share some of these outcomes in my next blog.

After months of speculation, Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas has announced her 2014 run for sheriff.
Thomas spent 26 years with the Colorado State Patrol, starting as a civilian dispatcher and working her way up to one of the five highest-ranking officials in the department. She would become the first female sheriff of Douglas County if elected.
Using the slogan "It's time for a new sheriff in town," Thomas said she hopes to break up the "good ol' boys' regime which has been running the county since before John Elway was a household name."
Thomas is the third person to announce a candidacy for Douglas County sheriff, and is running against two fellow Republicans: Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson and Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock.
If Spurlock were to be elected, Thomas said, she doesn't see how anything would change. Spurlock, she said, is considered "next in line" to take over for the term-limited Sheriff David Weaver, who was appointed to the job when Mike Acree stepped down in 2005. Acree had been part of longtime Sheriff Steve Zotos' regime before being elected in 2002. Zotos served as sheriff from 1983-2003.
"It appears to me that Tony is pretty well running the department anyway," Thomas said, pointing out that Spurlock is often the one representing the department at public events. She said numerous deputies have come up to her in full uniform, urging her to run, stating they don't like what is going on.
"When a regime is more concerned with power and control than responsibilities to the public, that's a problem," Thomas said. "We are going to find all those instances where power and control was more important than providing for the public's safety."
Since being elected coroner in 2010, Thomas has trimmed the budget from $1.3 million to $900,000 and also uncovered the theft of weapons and drugs from a previously unsecured evidence room, leading to felony charges against previous Deputy Coroner Carter Lord.
"When I ran for coroner, everyone said 'don't waste your time,'" she said. "I was repeatedly told that the office was well-run and that everybody who was anybody was anybody was supporting (Lord) and that he was next in line.
"This is the exact same situation here. I think they are all from the same good ol' boy club and we have proven what was going on in the coroner's office and I have made a huge improvement there. I'm just looking for the opportunity to do the same thing in the sheriff's office, to have a fresh, new face come in and improve a department. If I was just looking for a job, I'd run for coroner again."

14-year-old Jake Short plays Fletcher on A.N.T. Farm, and he was voted Favorite TV Actor this year at the Kids' Choice Awards. (Random tangent: Did you see One Direction perform at the KCAs? Wowee!) Anyway, when I first saw Jake Short in this video, I thought for sure he must be related to Martin Short who was a famous comedian in the 80s. They totally look alike, don't they? (Sorry, that was another random tangent. Apparently they are not related.) Well, we have an interview with Jake, and I promise not to interrupt with any more randomness.
Q: Tell us about Fletcher.
Jake: Fletcher's very artistic, and he really loves Chyna, and he's a total dork, but I really love my character. He got pied in the face last year. It was really fun to do. Actually it was shaving cream and graham cracker crust. It didn't taste too good, but it stayed on, and my face felt really, really fresh afterwards. [Laughter]
Q: Are you anything like Fletcher in real life?
Jake: I would say I am. He's much more talented at art than I am, but arts can be classified as different things. Like the art of acting is sort of my thing. Fletcher's very good at art, but I'm very good at acting. I connect with the character Fletcher, but I could never be like Fletcher because we have too many differences. But it's fun to play him and he's a funny, funny, quirky character who is just so lively and energetic.
Q: Do you think you'd ever be friends with him in real life?
Jake: Um, if we were the same age I would say maybe, but I think he's a little bit quirky and a little bit dorky too. But he's a good guy, so yeah, probably.
Q: What sports are you into?
Jake: All kinds. I love basketball, baseball, soccer, football. I even play a little hockey. It's all like recreationally and just for fun, but I play all sports, volleyball, everything. My favorite sport is soccer and I really like Bayern Munich. It's a German team. That's who I play as on FIFA. I've been wanting to go to a Galaxy game, and one of my friends said he would totally take us, so it'll be fun.
Q: What book has interested you the most in the last year?
Jake: The Hunger Games (for ages 12 and up). I love The Hunger Games. I hope they do as good a job on the movie as they did on the book. I hope they relate to it at least a little bit.
Q: Is there a literary character that you would like to play?
Jake: I've always kind of wanted to play a villain. I know it sounds weird, but I've never played a bad guy. I'm reading The Odyssey right now, and I might want to be Odysseus. He's pretty cool. Or Hercules. I'm a Christian, but I really like Greek mythology.
Q: Tell us about your dog.
Jake: Skipper! We rescued him four years ago when he was about six months old, but we're not sure what kind of dog he is. We know he's part long-haired Chihuahua and something else. He's a mutt.
Q: What's your favorite food?
Jake: I really, really like grilled chicken Caesar salad. But if I can just have salad, salad's good. I try to be healthy. I try to.
Q: If you could describe a perfect day in your life what would it be? What would you do?
Jake: I would play as much guitar as I can, play as much sports as I could. I'd probably go around a lot and be everywhere. And I would have a car. I would be able to drive and have a license. I could go wherever I wanted in a Jeep Gladiator. It's a Jeep truck and it's extremely cool.
Q: How do you help save the environment?
Jake: I try to take shorter showers and save water. I also recycle at the local grocery store. We bring cans and recycle them, and we get five cents back. It's one of my pet peeves when I see somebody just drop something on the ground and like leave. I'm like, "Really? Why? Why would you do that?" because it just makes a mess. I try to reduce the amount of trash, like less packaging and stuff. If paper has a back side, use it to write or to print stuff on, and it'll save you money and paper.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
With three more victories last week, Lady Spartan Head Coach Steve Gordon has become cautiously optimistic with his young squad of basketball players. Emery went on the road Tuesday and came home with a 59-43 victory over the Union Cougars in Roosevelt and then came home and won two in the Castle Country Classic over Dixie High 60-45 and Judge Memorial 48-37.
At Union, Emery used a big third quarter to put a close game away. Emery led 25-20 at the half and then outscored the Cougars 20-7 to lead 45-27 after three periods. Leading the Spartans in scoring was Camille Fehlberg with 18 points. Also scoring for the Spartans were Natalee Hanson with 11 points, Shala Pitchforth with eight, Ashley Hansen with seven, Meagan Pearson, Alexis Swasey and Tracy Norton with four each and Tahna Merrill with one.
Back in the Spartan Center against Dixie, Emery got off to a big start as they outscored the Flyers 17-5 in the first quarter and 15-7 in the second to lead at the half 32-12. Swasey had a big first half as she scored 13 points on her way to an 18 point game. Emery led by 27 before the reserves finished out the game. Also scoring were Natalee with 12 points, Pearson with 10, Callie Seeley with six, Ashley and Merrell with four each, Fehlberg with three, Shaylie Huntington with two and Norton with one.
On Saturday, the Spartans faced Judge who provided a good test for the Spartans as they were physical and played a tough man defense that this young squad handled well. In the first half, the refs called 25 fouls on the two teams as they were at the line all night long. Swasey picked up her fourth foul midway through the second period but stayed in the game with some smart play.
Leading the Spartans again was Swasey with 13 points and Natalee with 10 points. Fehlberg added 7 points and Ashley added 6 points. Pitchforth, Seeley and Huntington each added 4 points.
Coach Gordon had this to say about his team, "Our hustle on defense is winning these games for us. These girls have really good attitudes and everybody is working hard to improve their game." Gordon was impressed with how well his team was coming together as a unit and how coachable they are.The Lady Spartans continued their good play with more good performances at the Bear River Tournament in Tremonton. They played three games last weekend and won two and lost one at the buzzer. They lost to host Bear River as the Bears' Erica Park hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to give Bear River a 49-47 victory. Emery responded the next two nights with a 68-35 win over Hillcrest and a 61-45 win over American Fork. Emery is now 6-1 on the season.
Against the Bears, neither team was able to mount much of a lead in the game. Emery was up by 3 points at the end of the first quarter,13-10, it was tied at the half, 23-23, Bear River led by 3 points at the end of the third quarter, 39-36 and Emery had the lead at the end of the game until that last shot. Hanson led the Spartans with 15 points, followed by Swasey with 13 and Fehlberg with nine. Also scoring were Ashley Hansen with 4 points and Callie Seely, Shaylie Huntington, and Tahna Merrell with 2 points each.
Against Hillcrest, Emery took a 12-10 lead into the second quarter where they went on an 18-5 run and led at the half 30-15. After a close 13-12 third quarter, the Spartans finished the game on a 25-8 run to win 68-35.
Hanson again led the team with 23 points. Fehlberg added 10, Merrell and Swasey added 8 points each, Huntington and Hansen added 6 points each, Seely had 5 points and Shala Pitchforth had 2 points.
Emery finished the tournament against American Fork where they took the early lead and basically added to it all game long. Emery led 35-19 at the half.
Hanson was again leading scorer with 22 points followed by Hansen with 11 points and Swasey and Fehlberg with 9 points apiece. Shala added 5 points, Callie added 3 points and Shaylie added 2 points to close out the scoring.
The Lady Spartans are exciting to watch and good seats are always available in the Spartan Center. They are at home Wednesday night against Tooele, game time at 7 p.m. for the varsity, sophomores and JV earlier in the afternoon.


text: During the early 1900s images of women and children were a favourite subject for traditional and more modern artists alike. At this time the women's movement was encouraging women to exercise to give them healthier bodies which would assist them in childbearing. In The holiday group Lambert depicted women taking exercise with children, an image of health and wellbeing. He contrasted one woman (Amy Lambert) — wearing the loose clothing of the maternal feminist — with the other (Thea Proctor) — wearing the more restrictive but fashionable high necked blouse and waisted coat of a career woman.

Comfy shoe
"I've always liked New Balance tennis shoes because they are comfy and don't wear out too fast. This shoe is no exception. It is well padded and is put together well. It is easy to put on, instead of tie up laces there elastic bands across the top of the shoe. I've never had a tennis shoe without laces before but it doesn't feel like it's going to fall off. I would buy this kind of shoe again once these wear out."

Nisha good to see that bright smiling face.. missed you. hope all is well what have you been up to lately ??
There is a big snowstorm in the upper northeast. It's threatening to snow here, too, but if everything goes the way it usually does, it will miss here and hit somewhere else northward. Hope all is well with you! God bless you! Let's keep in touch with each other!
Hi Smile !!! how are you ?? good to see you
anything new or good going on
No, it usually doesn't snow in Charleston. If it did, they would have to close the place down and declare a state of emergency! There was a little snow flurries last year and some people got a little upset about it! No snow plows or anything here! How about you? I'm doing okay. Getting over some back pain. Doing okay otherwise. No complaints.
Nisha all is well, even though you took them froma portable they came out awesome. I want to do the same, need to but a camera that has a memeory card and to where i can download it to the computer.. I hope to see and chat with you more, miss that smiling face!!!.

Hi Nisha, good to see you darlin ?? always good,
