SEMESTER/YEAR: Fall 2009_________
DEPARTMENT: ______Credit ESL___________
PARTICIPANTS (min. 2):
Young Gee, Richard Seltzer
COURSE-LEVEL SLO(s) ASSESSED THIS SEMESTER:
1. Students should be able to decode and comprehend reading passages at the 1,000-word vocabulary level.
2. Students should be able to deduce meanings of new words from context and reply to inference as well as to recall questions on reading comprehension tests.
SLO 1 and SLO 2 were both assessed by reviewing the results of a division-wide final exam for the course. For each of the SLOs, a representative question was selected and the number of correct responses to those questions was tabulated from a total of five sets of exams from five different class sections. There were three day sections, two of which were taught by full-time faculty, and one of which was taught by an adjunct instructor. In addition, two sets of exams were taken from evening sections, both of which were taught by adjunct instructors. This was done to ensure a broadly representative sample. In all, 129 student exams were tabulated.
ANALYSIS OF ASSESSMENT: What do these results tell you about your students' achievements on the targeted SLO(s)?
SLO 1: The results show that almost all of the students were able to decode and comprehend meaning from their reading. We found that 95% (122) of the students sampled answered correctly, whereas only 5% (7) of the students sampled answered incorrectly. Two factors which possibly affected the final number of correct versus incorrect responses were noted during the tabulation of scores:
a. The questions may have been too easy.
b. In some cases, partial credit was given, which may have skewed scores in either direction.
SLO 2: The results show that there was a wide range of scores. We found that 67 % (86) of the students sampled answered correctly, whereas 33% (43) of the students sampled answered incorrectly. With close to 70% (over 2/3) of the students answering correctly, the data indicate that SLO 2 was achieved by most ESL 116 students by the end of the semester.
PLAN: Indicate if your assessment results reveal a need for course improvement in order to improve student achievement, and what plans your department will make to do so.
The following recommendation is made regarding future assessment of students at this level:

Villa Park lifts fireworks ban for 2013
Villa Park residents can celebrate Independence Day this year by setting off some Piccolo Petes and Flying Dragons.
The City Council on Tuesday approved lifting a ban on "Safe and Sane" fireworks for this upcoming July 4. It will be the first time Villa Park locals will be able to purchase fireworks since city leaders imposed a ban in 1987.
"This will make the Fourth of July even more special for residents in Villa Park," Mayor Brad Reese said before the meeting. "Families will come together to celebrate in block parties, while our nonprofit groups receive some extra support."
Firework sales will run from June 28 to July 4. The council lifted the ban only for 2013. Officials will review police and fire reports after July 4 to determine if they will allow firework sales in future years.
The city will require nonprofit vendors to provide 24-hour security for stands and will prohibit the use of fireworks by those younger than 18, unless supervised by a parent or someone 25 or older.
Villa Park becomes the ninth city in Orange County to allow the sale of fireworks.

I hope this turns really bad for him. Like not invited or nominated at shows, put on no play lists for every radio station out there.
And here's my thoughts on the Beyonce video. WTF is so great about it. It was 3 girls dancing for 3 minutes. Nothing else. Nothing spectacular, no story, NOTHING.

Gender issues continue to be important in the development of educational policy and the planning of new initiatives. The Extension, Education and Communication Service carried out five case studies on the enrolment of women in higher and intermediate agricultural education. These case studies are summarized and consolidated into this report
Available in:
The social and political upheavals in Cambodia over the past three decades have had a serious negative impact on the national development infrastructure. A fundamental question in relation to the achievement of the agricultural and rural development goals of Cambodia is the lack of even a minimal base of appropriately trained human resources to rehabilitate and modernise the sector.

For agricultural extension directors to guide their organizations through this demanding and difficult period, they will need to direct their attention to the main issues and concerns. They must concentrate the work of extension on those activities where it has a comparative advantage. For example, extension should focus its efforts on those knowledge-based technologies that are central to farmers' concerns and that will maintain the natural resource base. In general, these are subject-matter areas that will not be taken up by the private sector. Examples include dissemination of production management technologies that are specific to different crop and livestock systems; natural resource management technologies, such as soil and water management, integrated pest management, agroforestry, and other technologies associated with sustainable development; and farming systems technologies, including farm management skills, that will enable farmers to improve their efficiency, increase their cropping intensities, and to diversify into more high value commodities.
These current trends and perspectives were used in preparing this new volume on Improving Agricultural Extension: A Reference Manual. In the view of the editors, agricultural research and extension must become more demand driven if these institutions are to maintain or regain the public trust and to compete effectively for public funds. ...

I have been thinking about this for a bit but I wanted to explore the differences between healing jutsu's that are Yin and Yang related. As I mentioned in the title there is difference in what precisely they do or how they are classified but lets explore them a bit.
Yin (Medical) Jutsu:
We know Yin uses mental energy which explains why medical ninjas are typically people of higher intelligence with superior chakra control. Medical ninjutsu as we know it uses chakra to stimulate cell division and growth in patients to speed their recovery from wounds.
- We have several jutsu's to look at but Kabuto's <In'yu Shōmetsu - Yin Healing Wound Destruction > comes to mind. Its the jutsu he uses to anticipate where an attack will land then apply medical healing there beforehand and reduce damage to a minimum. I should point out that Tsuande borrowed this jutsu principle to increase Rock Lee's chance of survival to 50%.
- Another example is the <Shōsen Jutsu - Mystical palm technique> which we see most skilled medical ninjas use to heal injuries.
Yang (Life Restoration) jutsu:
These jutsu are not medical ninjutsu but use Yang style life force energy to allow the user to restore life to something recently deceased or near death. However the drawback is it can shorten the user life span and even kill them.
- After reading that line the first thing that may come to mind is Chiyo's <Kishō Tensei - One's Own Life Reincarnation> used to bring Gaara back to life.
- Nagato's <Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu - Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique> used to restore the life of the Leaf villager's who died is another example.
I suspect Naruto with his Kyuubi power can utilize his own Life restoration jutsu without dying since he has such an overabundance of life force energy which has been hinted at earlier.
Thus we can also conclude someone who has both powers such as a Rinnegan user can both Restore and Heal someone
In any event feel free to discuss!

Okuvision can preserve eyesight
OkuStim is one of the first forms of outpatient treatment for retinitis pigmentosa, whose effectiveness has been proven by clinical studies*. About 20,000 people suffering from retinitis pigmentosa in Germany could profit from this.
It has been proven that the OkuStim therapy can delay the progress of the illness and thus preserve eyesight for a longer period. Its special feature: OkuStim transmits weak electrical impulses to the retina. This electronic stimulus to the retina helps to preserve eyesight for a longer period. Nevertheless, this OkuStim therapy for retinitis pigmentosa is hardly perceptible and as a rule causes no pain.

The Newberry has recently announced that the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded $526,000 for the creation of a set of online tools to allow users to teach themselves to read different early French handwritings from the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. We're very excited as this will be an invaluable tool for paleographers, scholars and perhaps a few genealogists as well.
Old styles of handwriting, whether in your native language or that of your ancestors, can present a number of problems. Here are some resources which you may find helpful:
- The Newberry Center for Renaissance Studies maintains a listing of online resources for those interested in Paleography.
- The U.K. National Archives offers an online tutorial: Palaeography - reading old handwriting 1500 - 1800.
- The Yale University Library Rare Book Team has compiled another helpful list: List of Paleographic Resources (MS Word)
- The Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University provides tutorials for deciphering English, German, Duth, Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish scripts.
If you're still stumped, you may want to consider turning to a professional. Cyndi's List has some resources for locating assistance.

"I've been to so many stores in the mall proclaiming wide calf only to try it on and feel embarrassed because my calves are huge and I'm a short girl (5'1) so it's very sad when almost everyone is wearing boots but not me. I took a chance and ordered these after I measured my calf (no one bothered to measure me at the store btw). I'm 15.5 wide so these were fantastic and enough room for my skinny leg jeans. I thought I'd have to wear them in but no need because its comfy. Now I'm a happy girl and might need to purchase the black ones now."

Officials say many parents don't know about the summer program that feeds kids for free.
By DONNA WINCHESTER
Published June 16, 2007
Shatoya Jenkins lays awake some nights wondering how she'll make ends meet.
A high-risk pregnancy has kept the single mother of twin girls out of work for six months. She's not sure when she'll be able to return to her job as a certified nursing assistant. Meanwhile, the bills keep piling up.
But one thing Jenkins doesn't have to worry about this summer is providing nutritious lunches and snacks for 6-year-olds Shamiyah and Shaniyah. That's because the girls are enrolled in a YMCA program at Campbell Park Elementary in St. Petersburg that serves free meals to children who live in low-income neighborhoods.
"It means a lot," said Jenkins, 21. "The girls come home every day and tell me what they had to eat."
Though many parents depend on the National School Lunch Program from August through May, many don't realize that the U.S. Agriculture Department also provides the Summer Food Service Program for Children.
And even fewer families know that all children in the neighborhoods surrounding the schools and recreation centers that offer the meals are eligible for them, not just those attending extended learning, voluntary prekindergarten or YMCA programs.
While more than 900,000 Florida children in prekindergarten through high school eat free or discounted meals during the school year, fewer than 160,000 take advantage of the free meals during the summer, according to the Food Research and Action Center, a national organization that works to eradicate hunger.
Local school officials and children's advocates say they wish more parents knew about the Summer Food Service Program.
"We hear so often that school lunches are the only nutritious meals kids on free and reduced-price lunch get during the school year," said Carol McKinney, who works with the Pinellas County Department of Health and Human Services. "With this program, they can continue to get those meals."
- - -
Hillsborough County children 18 and under can receive free meals this summer at 88 schools. In Pinellas, the program operates in more than 70 schools and recreation centers. Sponsors have the option of serving hot or cold meals, but all food must meet Agriculture Department guidelines, said Tom Butler of the Florida Education Department.
Close to 5,000 meals are prepared daily for Pinellas children in the cafeteria at Dixie Hollins High School. District food service employees arrive each morning at 8:30 and begin assembling lunches consisting of a sandwich, juice, milk, and a piece of fruit or a container of applesauce.
It takes a dozen workers 14 minutes to load a pallet with 300 meals. The meals are then boxed and loaded into refrigerated trucks that deliver them to the schools and recreation centers.
At some schools, including Campbell Park, food service workers prepare and serve meals in their own kitchens through the summer.
Most of the meals are consumed by children enrolled in summer programs, although neighborhood children occasionally come to some sites, said Cathy Starman, a field specialist with Pinellas County Schools Food Services.
"We've never had huge numbers," Starman said. "It's never been the thousands we'd like it to be."
Gulfport Elementary principal Lisa Grant said the school does its best to spread the word about the summer food program to parents through newsletters and fliers. Last year, Grant said, she had planned to open the library so the kids who came for lunch could stay to read a book.
She had no takers.
Ken MacKenzie, principal at Starkey Elementary in Largo, said he's surprised each summer at how few students take advantage of the program. And Campbell Park principal Jim Steen said he always expects to see more neighborhood kids than the handful who show up.
The low turnout also surprises Gray Miller, food services director for Pinellas schools.
"The kids don't even have to show identification," Miller said. "They don't have to do anything but show up."
The lack of participation is especially troubling given the extreme need of some families, said Mike Fisher, director of the YMCA summer program at Rainbow Village in Largo. Fisher suspects the free lunch some of the kids in his program get, courtesy of the Summer Food Service Program, is their most nourishing meal of the day.
"For a lot of these families," Fisher said, "it's a lifesaver."
Fast Facts:
Food breakdown
More than 7.5-million helpings of free food were served statewide last summer at a cost of $14,875,000. Here's the breakdown:
Breakfasts: 1,371,362.
Lunches: 4,120,130.
Dinners: 26,501.
Snacks: 2,208,147.
Number of children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch:
Elemen. Middle
Pinellas 49% 42%
Hills. 56% 51%
State 52% 48%

This week I've played with strawberry shortcake. I've had many cookies with strawberry jam, but I don't recall having tried one with fresh strawberry chunks.
Strawberries have become slightly obsolete due to infestation issues, but I do find it worth the effort to take the time to clean them correctly. If you'd prefer to skip this step, you can always use frozen strawberries. Be sure to dice them while they are still slightly frozen, or you'll end up with strawberry puree.
In all honesty, my kids prefer their strawberries fresh and on their own. I found the taste of these cookies for a slightly more sophisticated palate – the perfect thing to make and send to that Tea you were asked to bake for. I hope you will find the opportunity to try them.
Strawberries and Cream Cookies
2 cups strawberries, washed and cut into ¼ inch dice (you can use frozen, cut while still partially frozen)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons margarine
2/3 cup pareve whipping cream, un-whipped
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling (Wilton makes a nice coarse sugar with great shimmer)
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine strawberries, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons sugar
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and remaining sugar in a large bowl.
4. Cut in the margarine and rub with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Stir in cream until dough starts to come together then stir in strawberry mixture.
6. Drop dough by tablespoon on lined baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2" space between cookies.
7. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and bake until golden brown. approx. 15-20 min (as always, watch your cookies because every oven produces different results)
Yield: approx. 3 dz. Cookies

The Spider-Man Musical Is Still Pretty Bad, BTW
The Broadway shitsplosion Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark finally, finally, officially opened last night, meaning this morning the (new) reviews came in. So where'd all that tweaking and Julie Taymor firing get them? Nowhere good, it seems.
This spring everyone got fed up with the show's producers constantly delaying its opening, so they broke protocol by going ahead and reviewing the show anyway, even though it wasn't officially "Open." So folks have weighed in on this show before. But now that it's been reworked — a new director, a new(ish) script, an almost entirely excised main villain — they've been tasked with revisiting the show and giving it a formal review. And it sounds like things are still pretty shitty.
Ben Brantley of the New York Times was bored:
this singing comic book is no longer the ungodly, indecipherable mess it was in February. It's just a bore.
[The elaborate sets] seem out of proportion to what has become a straightforward children's entertainment with a mildly suspenseful story, two-dimensional characters, unapologetically bad jokes and the kind of melodious rock tunes that those under 12 might be familiar with from listening to their parents' salad-day favorites of the 1980s and '90s. The puppet figures and mask-dominated costumes worn by the supporting villains still seem to have wandered in from a theme park.
The New York Post's Elisabeth Vincentelli was similarly "eh" about the whole thing, though feels confident about its chances of survival:
In the last year, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" has gone from artistic oddity to conventional family entertainment. Between that and the strength of its brand name, it's ready to join Madame Tussauds and Shake Shack on a tourist's Times Square itinerary.
Peter Marks of the Washington Post isn't so sure the show belongs on Broadway:
The hubris of the process has flowed in many directions, but for all its reliance on mechanistic marvels, the show still lacks what used to be worked out for a musical with a pencil and some paper: a persuasive argument for what Spider-Man has to sing about. Fly around the theater as he might (along with several stuntmen in Spidey costumes), the character is emotionally static. And so even in its incrementally surer form, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" can't shed the sensation that it would find a more suitable base of operations someplace like Coney Island.
And the Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney still wants to see some gore:
Given how thinly the figures onstage register as characters, there's insufficient suspension of disbelief to make you forget all the visible hardware — cables, harnesses and a noisy winch scraping back and forth across the proscenium – employed to make the flying happen. The promise of technical glitches and perhaps even an accident was part of the morbid fascination that drew huge audiences and obsessive media attention during the production's teething period. Now, the most visceral charge is likely to come from a drop of the Green Goblin's sweat onto the orchestra seats, or a shower of Spider-Man's paper webbing.
So basically they took a big, whopping, dramatic disaster of a show and turned it into a bloodless shoulder shrugger. And they still want you to pay hundreds of dollars to see it. Ah, the theatre.

We report novel defects of mitochondrial translation elongation factor Ts (EFTs), with high carrier frequency in Finland and expand the manifestations of this disease group from infantile cardiomyopathy to juvenile neuropathy/encephalopathy disorders.METHODS: DNA analysis, whole-exome analysis, protein biochemistry, and protein modeling.RESULTS: We used whole-exome sequencing to find the genetic cause of infantile-onset mitochondrial cardiomyopathy, progressing to juvenile-onset Leigh syndrome, neuropathy, and optic atrophy in 2 siblings. We found novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.944G>A [p.C315Y] and c.856C>T [p.Q286X], in the TSFM gene encoding mitochondrial EFTs. The same p.Q286X variant was found as compound heterozygous with a splice site change in a patient from a second family, with juvenile-onset optic atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, and ataxia. Our molecular modeling predicted the coding-region mutations to cause protein instability, which was experimentally confirmed in cultured patient cells, with mitochondrial translation defect and lacking EFTs. Only a single TSFM mutation has been previously described in different populations, leading to an infantile fatal multisystem disorder with cardiomyopathy. Sequence data from 35,000 Finnish population controls indicated that the heterozygous carrier frequency of p.Q286X change was exceptionally high in Finland, 1:80, but no homozygotes were found in the population, in our mitochondrial disease patient collection, or in an intrauterine fetal death material, suggesting early developmental lethality of the homozygotes.CONCLUSIONS: We show that in addition to early-onset cardiomyopathy, TSFM mutations should be considered in childhood and juvenile encephalopathies with optic and/or peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, or Leigh disease.

I watched a movie called The Machinist recently. It's about a man with insomnia who didn't sleep for a whole year. It got me wondering how long can a person go without sleep? Can anyone not sleep for a year and survive? - AJ
The 1965 Archives of Neurology reported on a 17-year-old from San Diego who voluntarily went for 11 days without sleep and recovered fully. Longer periods have been reported, but this one was unique because it was so well documented by a sleep physician from Stanford University and a lieutenant-commander at the US Naval medical centre.
The other notable thing was that the kid, Randy Gardner, took no stimulants, not even caffeine.
He ultimately was fine but, like others who have tried it, by day three he began losing his mind, having vivid hallucinations and losing track of even simple thoughts. By the final day, number 11, he was still walking and talking, but he'd lost most of his short-term memory, had slurred speech, had trouble with dizziness and his hallucinations had worsened. After almost 15 hours of deep sleep, though, he recovered.
There are reports of other people who have stayed awake for years because of insomnia, but the definition of "awake" is the problem. Tired people can "microsleep" - bursts of sleep lasting from a fraction of a second up to half a minute. These episodes are frequent, and go largely unnoticed, although they can be picked up on electroencaphalograms. Insomniacs are getting sleep - just in tiny, unnoticed and unsatisfying quantities.
Last year, researchers studied individual neurons in live rats' brains, and found that from a batch of say, 20 neurons, one or two may actually be asleep for short periods.
So sleep is a tricky concept. The exact point at which we go from asleep to awake is also difficult to pin down.
We know from numerous studies that after even one night without sleep, your cognitive performance will equal a drunk's, but you won't be aware of it. Three nights without sleep, and you'll experience heavy hallucinations. Beyond that, you may seem superficially "awake" but parts of your brain will be having rolling blackouts.

Buy A Sedu InsteadI purchased the 1-inch Solia to be able to flip my hair which is difficult to do with my 1.5-inch Sedu flat iron. I returned it because I thought it did not flatten my hair as well as the Sedu, the temperature control was tricky, and the on/off switch poorly placed. Im sticking with my Sedu and I purchased a $20 Conair curling iron to flip the ends. When my Sedu dies, Ill just buy another one from Folica!Mar 28, 2007Anonymous / Maryland

Wonderful Flat Iron!I have naturally curly hair that tends to frizz pretty badly, especially when the humidity is high and this flat iron expertly takes all the frizz out. It is extremely smooth and never have I been able to straighten my hair so quickly. The other flat irons I have used I have had to go over each section of hair 2 or 3 times, but only once with the Solia. I would HIGHLY recommend this flat iron to anyone.

Great And CuteI love this straightener. I tried my friends CHI and it did the job, but it got waaaaay to hot, and I felt like it damaged my hair. When I finally decided to replace my old cheap one, I read a lot of reviews, and I was about to get the CHI, but the Solia got my attention and I bought it. Its great I love it!!!

Pink Solia - Love It!!I purchased this flat iron about three weeks ago and have used it a few times so far.I have natural kinky hair of medium length. This flat iron is the perfect size for me and it doesnt take long to straighten my hair. It heats up in no time at all. After using this iron my hair looks like I have a perm and even a few rain drops dont ruin my hairstyle. I do apply a small amount of oil before using to protect against any heat damage and to get a great sheen. The bonus is the pink color and that part of the proceeds go toward a very good cause. The reviews on this site were helped me to make my decision to purchase the Solia flat iron. Absolutely love itMar 25, 2007Anonymous / New JerseyHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair / Medium Hair

I Never Thought I'd Love A Hair Appliance....I am not one to spend more than $30 on a hair appliance so it was a really big thing for me to spend $85 on the Solia flat iron. I was in the market for a chi but I read all the reviews of the Solia and that convinced me to buy this one. I do not regret it. I am glad I took the plunge. I have very thick, somewhat coarse, medium length hair, and I live in Houston, the heat & humidity capital of the nation. The Solia flat iron does a GREAT job of smoothing out frizz and straightening my hair. I was shocked at how much better it is than my $25 Remington. I definitely recommend it.I hope the product is durable. Ive only had it a month and I dont want to be spending $85 too often. The only other thing I can think of that I would like better is if it had an auto-shut off feature, so if I left in on accidentally, Id know it would go off in an hour or so.Mar 25, 2007Amy / Houston, TXHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair / Medium Hair

Straightens Hair To Perfect Shine In 10 Minutesthis is definitely a great straightener. ive never had an expensive one before. all of my other straighteners have been like Revlon which is cheap.. i bought it because there was not one bad review, and on all the other straighteners, a lot of people were saying bad things about them. I bought this one and thought it might be a little small because its 1 inch and im not used to that. However, it heats up really well and has heat settings .. It takes me 10 minutes in the morning to straighten my hair. .i have really fine hair but its long. the best part about it is that its pink, and some proceeds go to the breast cancer foundation ! and its an amazing straightener for a great price .. also it curls and flips ur hair which is pretty cool . .i use Chii iron guard so that it doesnt ruin my hair If i didnt use the iron guard, this straightener would still leave my hair looking shiny it wouldnt dry out my hair like other straighteners do.Mar 24, 2007Heather / New Jersey

After a long, hot bus ride and with game time temperatures right at 100 degrees, the Emery Spartans lost their season opener in football to a good Grand High School 27-14.
Coach Jimmy Jones talked about Grand, "They are going to be a pretty, good football team. They have size and speed." Grand High School is almost the size of Emery High in number of students.
Grand took advantage of Emery mistakes throughout the game to get the win. An interception by Grand led to an early touchdown with another interception at the Grand 15-yard line stopping an Emery drive. A fumble by Emery stopped the Spartans at the Grand five yard line after a good drive.
Grand scored once in each quarter while the Spartans scored once in the second and fourth quarters.
Emery received the opening kick-off and was tackled at their own 19-yard line. After 12 plays, Emery stalled at the Grand 41-yard line and punted. Emery held on defense and the Spartans next possession started at the Grand 49-line. Emery threw an interception on the third play to negate great field position. Grand scored on their next series to lead 6-0.
After Grand scored on their next possession to lead 13-0, Emery would march from their own 25-yard line down field and would score on a three yard pass from Gatlan Huntington to Tanner Procarione. Huntington kicked the extra point and Emery trailed at the half 13-7.
In the second half, Emery threw another interception on their first series at the Grand 21-yard line. The Spartans had started the drive at their own 35-yard line and had marched 35 yards. Chance Ariotti ran nine yasrds up the middle, Colby Snow ran nine yards around the right side, Ariotti again up the middle for three yards before JT Noyes went around the left side for 13 yards. After a one yard pickup by Huntington, Huntington threw the interception to end the drive.
Emery would score on the next drive that started at their own 17-yard line. Emery would run off 15 plays before scoring. Noyes picked up 16 yards on the first play to get things started right. Huntington completed four of five passes attempted in the drive including one to Cameron Hansen for 10 yards and the touchdown. Hansen also caught 7-yard and 10-yard passes and Snow caught an eight yarder.
In Emery's last drive that started at the Emery 34 yard line, Huntington completed a pass to Hansen for 17 yards to get to midfield. Ariotti picked up nine yards on the ground before Huntington hit Procarione for a 35-yard pickup. Unfortunately, Tanner fumbled the ball during the run and Grand recovered ending Emery's hopes for a comeback.
Huntington completed eight of 12 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He had an interception. Ariotti led the team in rushing with 62 yards on 14 carries, Noyes had 46 yards on six carries and Snow had 45 yards on eight carries.
Derrick Allred led the defense with 10 tackles, six unassisted. Snow had nine tackles and Ariotti had eight tackles.
Coach Jones talked about his team, "There were positive signs for us in the game even though I hate to lose. Offensively, for the first game of the season with all new guys, we weren't too bad. If we eliminate the turnovers and penalties, we could be pretty good. Defensively, we got a little work to do but we have the people that could make us pretty good if they want to work at it."
Emery stays on the road this week with a game at Canyon View High in Cedar City on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Although most West Nile virus-positive birds in other states have been American crows, infections also have been confirmed in many other species, including game birds.
As of Aug. 20 no West Nile Virus activity has been found in Utah, but this could change any time, says Clell Bagley, Utah State University Extension veterinarian.
Until the time when WNV is identified here, there is a lower (but not zero) likelihood of WNV being present in any game bird than in states where WNV has already been found.
"It is important to remember that there is no evidence that birds can transmit WNV to humans, but gloves should be worn when handling any dead bird or mammal," Bagley says.
Because of their outdoor exposure, game hunters may be at risk if they become bitten by mosquitoes in areas with West Nile virus activity, he says. The extent to which West Nile virus may be present in wild game is unknown. Surveillance studies are currently underway in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Wildlife Health Center (in Madison, Wis.) and with state and local wildlife biologists and naturalists to answer this question.
Hunters should follow the usual precautions when handling wild animals, he adds. Hunters should wear gloves when handling and cleaning animals to prevent blood exposure to bare hands, and meat should be cooked thoroughly.
As an additional precaution, hunters should not collect or consume any animals, including birds, who appear to be exhibiting unusual behaviors, or appear to be ill or in poor condition prior to being shot.
Hunters should check with their local area department of wildlife and natural resources, state epidemiologist at the state health department or the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Wildlife Health Center, Madison, Wis., 608-270-2400, for information on local area risk.
In Utah, Bagley says hunters may also contact their local health departments or the Office of Epidemiology.

Coffee Klatches: Not your average cup of joe!
What are they?
Coffee Klatches are small, informal get-togethers hosted by supportive parents in their homes. The purpose of Coffee Klatches is to improve your association's commuity relations and to take the opportunity to listen to what parents have to say--to hear their interests, opinions, and desires about their public schools.
Why should my local organize one?
The more people know about your association, your members, and the issues you are facing, the more you increase your chances to have their support. And, most importantly, by identifying individuals in the community who support your association, you can generate a list of allies for the future.
What if our community is not supportive?
Your association and its members may have an accurate read on the community and you may not. Coffee Klatches allow you to test your assumptions in a friendly environment, and to adjust your perceptions if your assumptions are inaccurate.
What do you we have to gain?
More often than not, your association and the parents you serve share common values, desires, and vision. Coffee Klatches let you discover where you have common ground, and how to find it where it may not exist.

Mike Epps
Comedian Mike Epps will perform at Chaifetz Arena Saturday, March 9.Event Details: 9:00 p.m., March 09, Chaifetz Arena
Comedian Mike Epps will perform at Chaifetz Arena at 9 p.m. Saturday, March 9.
After impressing Ice Cube at a stand-up show, the Indianapolis native made his breakthrough on the silver screen playing Day-Day, an anxious character stalked by his obsessive ex and her younger sister in the films Next Friday and Friday After Next. Epps appeared as Black Doug, a drug dealer, in the movie The Hangover and will return for The Hangover 3. He recently took a more serious role as comedian and drug kingpin Satin Struthers in Whitney Houston's final film, Sparkle.
Epps' natural comedic ability was encouraged at an early age, and he began performing standup as a teenager. His satirical act combines social commentary with stories from his childhood and has described as raunchy yet brutally honest. Epps began his professional career with "Def Comedy Jam" in 1995 and his one-hour comedy special, "Inappropriate Behavior" aired on HBO in 2007 and was one of the network's top-rated one-hour specials of the year.
Along with his acting and comedic careers, Epps has dabbled in the recording industry, appearing in Westside Connection's music video, "Gangsta Nation." He also had a role in Hurricane Chris' "A Bay Bay" and has a song called "Big Girls" that was originally recorded by Bow Wow and featured Young Joc.

Only one in four U.S. stock-fund managers beat their benchmarks over the last three years. Many have been shown to be closet benchmark huggers who exhibit precious little "active share." El Stinko.
Little wonder that investors pulled nearly $100 billion from U.S. stock mutual funds through November.
But hold on a minute. How badly are they getting whipped? How does it look on a risk-adjusted basis? And are there factors that could prompt a turnaround? Answers: Not as bad as you may think. Not so bad on a risk-adjusted basis. And yes, the picture could change in ways that favor active managers.
R.W. Baird & Co.'s Aaron Reynolds finds this week that the large percentage of active managers who trail the S&P 500′s (SPY) 38% or so gain since 2010 still managed to capture 90 percent of the index's very favorable returns. At first blush, that may sound like a bad deal.

Reassessing the Free Agent Landscape
Dimitri Filipovic
July 05 2013 01:12PM
These guys look kind of bored, and maybe even a little sad.
Photo uncredited via freefantasyfootballpicks.com
Everyone and their grandmother knew that this would be a quiet
July 1st July 5th Free Agent Frenzy from a Canucks perspective, given their current cap situation. While it's always fun to see your club rumoured to be in the hunt for "name" players, it just wasn't reasonable to expect them to be in on any of the top guys available.
However, there were still some interesting, low-cost options available that we figured Mike Gillis and Co. would take a long look at on this day. That's why, leading up to today's festivities, we ran a series on team needs where we highlighted some potential targets to fill roles such as the third line centre position, secondary scoring, and the third pairing on defence.
Well, now we're just over 3 hours into the frenzy, and we've yet to see the Canucks dip their toes into the free agent pool. Who's still available, and what does the free agent landscape look like right now for the team?
Read Past the Jump for More.
Third Line Centre
This was the team's biggest need heading into free agency, but unfortunately, competent 3rd line centre's tend to demand some serious bank. Especially on the open market. Look no further than Boyd Gordon, and the price tag he came with, for proof of this.
Gordon seemed to be a heavy favourite as the guy that would fill the hole down the middle, and I was 100% on board with it. There was a lot to like about the particular skillset that he brings to the table. But one thing we know about this day, is that almost everyone that is signed will likely have their price inflated due to the demand, and that was the case with Gordon. The Oilers broke the bank for him when they gave him $9 million over 3 years, which seems crazy (because it is). I'm okay with the team missing out on him at that price point.
After Gordon was taken off the board, Matt Cullen became an intriguing option (Angus made a case for him this morning). He, too, proved to be too expensive for the Canucks, as the Predators gave the former Minnesota Wild centre $7 million over 2 years.
As for guys like Weiss (5 years, $24.5 million), Filppula (5 years, $25 million), and Bozak (4 years, $21 million), I figured they'd warrant too much money for what the Canucks could realistically offer. And they did. I never really looked at them as viable options to begin with.
The two most intriguing options in terms of pure value were Keith Aucoin and Peter Regin, who for the right price, could have been very prudent additions. Unfortunately they were both quickly snatched up by some savvy GMs - Garth Snow got Regin for $750k (1 year), while Doug Armstrong locked down Aucoin for $625k (1 year).
So what are the remaining available options for the team?
- Nik Antropov
- Kyle Wellwood
- Scott Gomez
- Dimitri Filipovic (call me, text me, DM me. I'm available.)
It's safe to say that today was a good day for Jordan Schroeder.
Secondary Scoring
The most exciting of the available bunch is easily Damien Brunner, who appears to be a goner in Detroit, after the Red Wings brought in Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss. Be careful about getting too excited, though; I'm not sure how realistic an option he is. As a 27-year old who showed legitimate scoring ability last season will surely command attention from teams with more money at their disposal.
Two intriguing options to keep your eyes on:
- Gilbert Brule (Cam Charron seems to be on board with this.)
- Peter Mueller (Thomas Drance seems to be on board with this. Have not heard his name bandied around nearly enough, but he fascinates me. Obviously I'd only be interested in him on a short-term deal due to his checkered concussion history. Still, he's a guy who scored 22 goals as a rookie, was a strong possession player last season, shoots the puck like a mad man, and is only 25 years old. Worth a gamble, without a doubt.)
Third Pairing Defenceman
Grant Clitsome (3 years, $6.2 million), Michal Roszival (2 years, financial terms not released), Ben Lovejoy (3 years, $3.3 million), and Scott Hannan (1 year, $1 million) were all retained by their clubs. Wisely so.
The remaining available options for the team:
- Andrew Alberts (The most likely option, in my humble opinon.)
- Tyson Strachan (A Thomas Drance favourite.)
- Jonathan Blum (According to the News1130 Sports Twitter feed, Blum's agent let it be known that the Canucks are one of a half dozen teams in the running for his client. Recently, Jeff Angus took a look at the potential fit.)
- Tom Gilbert (I'd be surprised if he was in the team's price range, though.)
- Ryan O'Byrne, Mark Fistric
But first of all, they need to come to terms with Chris Tanev, or things will really begin to look bleak on the back-end. A report came out today that the two sides haven't spoken in a few days, which is concerning. What you'd hate to see is a team with cap space to burn step in and offer sheet Tanev, forcing the team's hand.
We went into this expecting the news to be few and far between coming out of Vancouver, but still, it's hard not to be taken aback by just how quiet a day it has been to this point. We've reached a critical mass where we can safely say that Steve Carrell's love life in the movie 40-Year-Old Virgin was bumpin' compared to this. But hey, Canucks fans, things could be worse. At least your team didn't just give the likes of Tyler Bozak and David Clarkson a combined $58 million.
Maybe we're looking to trade Tanev's rights. There's a few RFA centres we could trade for, and the cap space is probably better used on a centre than a 5th d-man. Garrison-Bieksa-Corrado gives you option to let Tanev go. Palmieri, Bailey, Little, Kruger all without contracts so far.
No, no, no! You've got it all wrong. We need draft picks for Tanev. Say a 2nd rounder in 2014. Then we can draft a guy and hope he develops into a guy like Tanev.
July 05 2013, 01:44PM
I think the Canucks are winning today by not losing. That is by not losing themselves into signing inflated RFA contracts that are handed it left, right and centre today. Wow, what was that lock-out about again?
So many GM's will be wishing they had some more buy-outs available next year after all these contracts they signed this week don't look so great anymore!
This Tanev thing needed to be done yesterday.
It's inexplicable that the Canucks could go into free agency with so little cap space that they are, in all likelihood, lowballing Tanev.

Today has nothing to do with the lockout.
Collective profit margins will not change based on how dollars are allocated.
Teams are going to regret many of these contracts, sure.
Gillis has actually done reasonably well in free agency. Unfortunately, his poor trades and lack of quality prospects/young players has forced him to sit on the sidelines.
It's a weak free agent group and they're getting stupid money. Glad the Canucks can't act on any of them.
They need to get Tanev's deal done and get those depth players. Let the young players develop in the minors - no need to rush them.
