So I'm 19 and still green when it comes to the specifics of engine overhauling, but I have a 1978 Mustang II with an 2.3L stock engine under the hood, which while she runs well, and doesn't give me too many problems, she doesn't give me too much pep either, and I was wondering if anyone could give me any help on trying to coax a few more horses out from her without anything too drastic and pricey considering I'm on a DIY college student budget for this Any help is appreciated, just don't say to get rid of the car or the engine XD
there are several classes of circle track racing that use the 2300 motor along with others as engines..here are some articles on some of the RACE stuff done.. including NEW RACE 2300 blocks.. tall deck versions also.. what is the world coming to???http://www.circletrack.com/sch/02/esslinger/articles/what you do to your 78 mustang II depends on several things.. as you are not going to be able to match race john force or even one of his daughters with it.. more power is great..one issue.. do you have to smog test it... modifications might effect that..the easy things are cam swaps.. you do have to remove the motor mount bolts.. jack the motor up slightly. get behind the rear cam stand in the head and remove 2 #3 phillips head screws that hold the cam thrust plate in.. but the cam will slide right out the front of the engine over the top of the core support..there are rocker arm tools to assist in removing and replacing the rocker arm/cam followers.. this is not a super hard job.. probably 4 hours. plan on 6 or 8 hours. i have done them in 2 but i have a huge tool box full of tools and lots of experience.. you can even save money by contacting local cam grinders.. well actually cam REGRINDERS.. some have various masters for overhead performance cams.. the major cam suppliers also have new cams in various performance improvements..there is one thing that you will have to understand.. that engine came with a holley /weber 5200/5210 carb.. they work like every other conventional carb.. but they are tuned with different components.. most people don't understand them as they get flat spots off idle.. PLEASE.. if you decide to rebuild that carb.. check the mounting flange for a tiny stamped part number.. R-1234-a something like that. there are also many parts in that carb that look almost identical.. its critical that you find a decent blow up diagram of the carb.. and as you remove the parts note the individual part numbers off the brass jets, air bleeds and emulsion tubes.. so they can go back in the proper location...there is tuning parts for the carb available.. as when you start changing things.. you will need to probably need to change the idle feed restrictions.. there are also some books available.. how to power tune the FORD SOHC how to modify ford SOHC engines.
look at this 5200 style carb.. at IDLE..now.. look at it OFF IDLE...the primary idle jet on the holley weber 5200 series is sometimes a sealed version. its on the drivers side of the carb.. this is the single part that needs to be swapped out for various sizes to try to get the idle fuel transition feed back into the proper area..if its too lean.. it will fall on its face.. if its too rich.. it will also fall on its face..but also wipe out fuel economy. get it right and you will love this carb..

why aren't pellet guns illegal

why aren't pellet guns illegal
Quote:The Austrian Army used air guns against Napoleon in the late 1700's. Though Napoleon was ultimately victorious, the silent killers demoralized his troops and became so feared that any enemy soldier captured with an air gun was executed as an assassin.
The Chinese still make 9mm and 45cal air rifles for hunting.
Some one will get killed with one and they will wet ther pants and want more laws to control them.
The Girandoni air rifle was an important first. It was the first repeating rifle of any kind to see military service. It was one of the first uses of a tubular magazine. And, although it saw service for only 35 years, it predated and was more advanced in design and mechanical technology than the Henry rifle which arrived fifty years later.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition used the rifle in the demonstrations that they performed for nearly every Native American tribe they encountered on the expedition
Why are they legal? I don't really know, but, I think that the freedom haters are more concerned about rifles, shotguns and handguns. When they finally do outlaw all firarms, then they will come after airguns, muzzle loaders, kitchen knives, baseball bats and every other item that they fear you could use to defend your self. Freedom haters are our worst enemies and they do not intend for us to have anything with which we might be able to hurt them.
Give it another decade or two...
They are not a Firearm, If you make them illegal you need to also make splatball and airsoft. Then "they " will look bad against the general population for making illegal items that 95% are not "lethal" It would be a career ending move on someones part.
I use them to train new shooters.
I get the simguns in .17 caliber like the CP99 CO2 to train on the P99 Walther.
Because they are not classed as a firearm.
Airguns aren't silent, but the advantage a sniper had in the days of Napoleon was they wouldn't discharge a big cloud of smoke from burnt black powder; thus giving away ones position.
How could they be made illegal? Every firehouse has a compressor that could charge one.
Michigan treats a pellet pistol like an another Saturday night special when said pellet pistol has a rifled barrel. Yup, backgroud check, prints, the whole shot.

Okay, day one is done.
The Bersa Thunder UC 9mm shoots straight and works great!
One FTE in the very first mag, because I was very floppy with my grip-- it was about the third shot I took with it.
After that, trouble free with all three types of ammo I brought, from 115 grain Hungarian plated MFS to 147 JHP stuff from Winchester.
Shot it out to fifty feet and beyond, managed to hit the 8 inch target with all shots even at those long ranges.. and close in, 15 feet and 25 feet, groups were inside 3 inches... I'm not a good shooter, and still learning the sight picture, so I'm very happy with the way it shoots. Peculiar rear sight visual-- instead of two dots it's a U shape line, squared off, and the muzzle sight dot goes in the center of the U... and the trigger pull in SA is so light, I was pulling it by accident during end of cycle.. double bursts... took some getting used to, but it's the lightest DA pull of anything I've got by far.
I can sure tell it's a carry compact... it leaps pretty good... fired about 250 rounds today and my hand and wrist and elbow have these numb spots.
and when I picked up the Bersa Firestorm .22 to shoot a bit, that little gun felt like a pellet gun, no kick at all.. I was putting holes in holes with that little puppy..
All in all, the short term review is very good. Longer term to come, but I am very glad today that I bought the Bersa Thunder UC 9mm this week... my collection is up to 7, and my wife's Glock 26 isn't even here yet.

The guy I bought it from, Joe, is totally stand-up. He called me and is totally cooperative. He also has documentation on where he bought it from, and where that person bought it from.
Formula73 is working on getting the documentation that we (Joe and I) are asking for before giving the guitar back.
Sorry, but I don't think its unreasonable to ask for police documentation rather than someone's word on the internet when talking about handing over something of this kind of value and taking a huge $$$ loss.

Basically it is a thread from January 2005 about the guitars being hiested and the multiple times it was bumped over the years. Brandon has been out here for Dean Open House events and we have discussed his Super Human Chrome/Gold Hardware corrosive abilities. When I saw the bridge/tailpiece/ and pickups my "Batsenses" tingled. My heart sank a lil when you posted the matching number from F73's Dean thread and then it soared for a moment knowing the coolness B would enjoy.
Sorry if it seems I'm on this but I am just amazed when a circle happens like this.
Life IS Good! You will be rewarded I'm sure of it. Found an old post from you how you have wanted one of these for a while. You will get one.
Here's praise for #1 who was #2 for a day, and now #1 again.......

That V RAWKS!!!!
2K is the upper price range on a Vector though. They can be had for around 1.5K too and even lower. I have seen them sit too for being so pricey.
I bet you get this back in spades one way or another.
That V is fantastic. I don't think I've seen a cooler look on a 67 style, ever. What pups are in it? Here's the only pic I have of the Hamer from way back in the day. Little ol' me, about 10 years and 60 lbs ago, rockin up on the flight deck of the John C. Stennis.
Even though this sucks for just about everybody but me, you know this will all come back to you, in one way or another, right? At the very least, I've got some pickups with your name on them, and hell, I DO have a MIJ Bacchus in the same 58 style that's pretty hard to come by. I picked it up in Japan on a port call, I believe, the deployment after the Hamer was stolen. Let me get back to port and I'll give you a call and we can talk about it.
Bacchus GOOD!

Home protection: All deserve to know the law
People want to know how forceful the law says they can be when facing an assailant at home. Bryfonski should have had a ready answer for that predictable quesiton. Better yet, he could have had copies of the law to give to residents. Since he did not, we shall. The law regarding the use of deadly force in self-defense is RSA 627:4:II. It states:
"A person is justified in using deadly force upon another person when he reasonably believes that such other person:
(a) Is about to use unlawful, deadly force against the actor or a third person;
(b) Is likely to use any unlawful force against a person present while committing or attempting to commit a burglary;
(c) Is committing or about to commit kidnapping or a forcible sex offense; or
(d) Is likely to use any unlawful force in the commission of a felony against the actor within such actor's dwelling or its curtilage."
The law also states that merely displaying a firearm in response to "a threat which would be considered by a reasonable person as likely to cause serious bodily injury or death to the person or to another" is not a criminal act. Now you know.

Six Phoenix Student-Athletes Earn Academic All-League Honors
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After posting standout seasons both in competition and in the classroom, a total of six UW-Green Bay student-athletes were recognized this week as members of the Horizon League's Academic All-League Teams for the Fall 2013 semester.
A total of 53 student-athletes from all five fall sports were honored in balloting by the league's faculty athletics representatives and athletics communications directors. Green Bay's six selections were the fourth-most among league schools. Milwaukee led all schools with 10 selections.
Earning Academic All-League honors for the Phoenix were men's soccer senior Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.), women's soccer junior Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.), women's cross country sophomore Sarah Mauel (Green Bay, Wis.) and volleyball seniors Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.), Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) and Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.).
Krenzien, who holds a 3.54 grade-point average as a business administration major, started all 17 matches for the Phoenix in 2013, scoring a team-best 11 goals and 26 points. The senior forward took home Second Team NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region honors, as well as Second Team All-Horizon League accolades. Krenzien was also an NSCAA Second Team Academic All-American – the only player in the Horizon League to earn the honor.
Pilarzyk, a junior goalkeeper, owns an impressive 3.84 GPA while double majoring in psychology and French. She shared time in the net for the Phoenix in 2013, appearing in eight games while posting a 2-2-2 record. She finished the year with a 1.05 goals against average and one shutout, and made a season-high six saves in a 1-1 draw at Drake.
Mauel, who has a 3.7 GPA, was Green Bay's top runner in all seven races in 2013. She earned Second Team All-League honors with an 11th-place finish at the 2013 Horizon League Championships (19:04). Another highlight of Mauel's sophomore campaign was her runner-up finish at the Concordia Falcon Invite.
Anderson boasts an astounding 3.917 GPA while majoring in democracy and justice studies. The senior outside hitter finished third on the Phoenix with 2.70 kills per set in 2013, and reached double-figures in kills nine times. Anderson was named Horizon League Scholar-Athlete of the Month in September for her strong play on the court and success in the classroom.
Mroczenski, a human biology major with a 3.778 GPA, posted 96 blocks (0.86 per set) and 79 kills in her senior campaign. She finished her career with 233 total blocks, good for 13th in school history. She was tabbed as the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 3 after posting a school-record 18 blocks against No. 23 Ohio State.
Van Zeeland, who owns a 3.819 GPA as an education major, was named to the 14-member All-Horizon League Team in 2013, and was also selected as team MVP. She took home Offensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 9 after leading the Phoenix to the Auburn Active Ankle Challenge title with an MVP performance. The senior right side finished third in the league in kills per set (3.08) in 2013 and posted double-digit kill totals in 18 matches, including four with at least 20 kills.
The Horizon League recognizes student-athletes with seasonal Academic All-League Teams in each of its 19 championship sports. To be eligible for Academic All-Horizon League consideration, a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher and have completed at least one year at the member institution, having earned 24 semester-hour or 36 quarter-hour credits.

Hi there,
I'm 24 years old (male), work in a boring office job and the only thing that is keeping me sane these days is the thought that come August, I will have left this country to go travelling (Ideally indefinately!). I know a lot of people who live in continental Europe, Japan etc. but none of them went down the teaching english as a foreign language route so they haven't been able to give much advice. (They work in finance and/or professional work)
I've saved a bit of money so I want to get the best value for it - I will do a Celta course. I want the training and also I feel that I've a better chance of getting a job straight away if I do this course and mingle with my peers and hopefully pick up a few contacts for later on. I'm thinking of doing it in Barcelona, and I've heard that jobs are relatively easy to get there, despite the Spanish recession. The plan would be to work there for a year and then move on to another European city. Naples say, or maybe Istanbul. In my own Jack London/quasi travel writer way I'd like to live for a while in every major European city (I'm Irish by the way and I've wanted to go travelling since forever but money was always an issue in the past). Money isn't really an obstacle initially but I will need to find a teaching job within a month of completing my course, so doing the Celta course in the city I plan to teach in is a big deal for me.
Can people give me their personal opinions about employment prospects (I plan to do the course in August) in the greater Barcelona area in September/October 2013? Personal stories would be much appreciated, because I really don't trust any of the sales hype on any of the course websites. Also advice on what kind of websites I should use to find a houseshare when I get there, help with getting to grips with transport, best place to buy a bike (Will be one of my first purchases!) or general help on how to get through the course (I hear its pretty intensive, but I already work an unsatisfying 60 hour week in my job so I think it won't be all that for me!). Also, when I should apply and how the application procedure works. (Do I need to do an interview etc.)
Thanks again guys, would really appreciate your opinions.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Justifying and Rationalizing Questionable Behavior
Michael Norton, Associate Professor of Business
Administration, Harvard Business School
How do people justify their sometimes regrettable behavior to themselves – such as discriminating against others on the basis of gender and race? We suggest that a common strategy used to avoid the appearance of bias when making such decisions is to cloak decision-making in more acceptable terms: when people make decisions based on questionable criteria – such as gender – they scan the environment for other less controversial attributes that can be recruited to justify their decisions. We demonstrate this general process in domains ranging from racism in the legal system (Blacks being disproportionately excluded from juries in trials with Black defendants) to gender discrimination (women being passed over for traditionally "male" jobs), showing that in each case, decision-makers are careful to find other mundane attributes to mask the true reasons underlying their biased decision making.
Lunch will be provided. An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Understanding the Language Challenge
Q & A from an ESL Teacher
By Jennifer Politano
Question from a distressed classroom teacher:
"My beginning level LEP-ELL (Limited English Proficient English Language Learner) in the elementary school receives 6 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) service each week. The ESL teacher does a combination of push-in and pull-out services for this student, but now what? This student is in MY class for the rest of the day or week and I have no idea what to do with him or her."
Answer from an ESL teacher:
Don't Panic! Use the following document and the NCLB Action Briefs as a day by day guide to help you keep your LEP-ELL meaningfully engaged in learning activities throughout the week while your ESL teacher is busy servicing other students.
Recognizing Grade Level Differences
The academic demands on an ESL student in your classroom vary by grade level. A student in the first grade is likely to learn the building blocks of the written English language right along with his or her native English speaking peers, while a 5th grade student is already behind his or her peers when it comes to learning letter names and sounds. The same is true for learning many of the subject areas where academic content is cumulative across the grade levels. Mathematics is one subject that has more universality, however, the language of math word problems and directions make simple calculations a challenge for an ESL student. The following checklist suggests activities that your LEP-ELL can be engaged in during each subject area.
Modifying the Curriculum
Perhaps the best way to help your ESL student achieve mastery of the subject areas is to modify the content to an input level that is at and slightly above the comprehension level of your LEP-ELL. (Refer to Stephen Krashen's idea of comprehensible input, i+1, and his input hypothesis.) However, modifying curriculum is a time consuming task and is not practical under all circumstances. Your ESL teacher is not responsible for this task, but can advise you on the process. Meet with your ESL teacher regularly not only to learn how to modify curriculum but to collaborate on teaching subject areas to LEP-ELL's and to learn strategies and techniques for teaching in a classroom that has both LEP-ELL's and native English speakers together.
Getting to Know Your ELL
Get to know your ELL and find out what he or she already knows or can do. This is the starting point from which you will you base all modifications and expectations. Setting realistic expectations will have a lasting impact on the motivation level of your ELL. The following checklist is a set of suggestions for students at all grade and language ability levels. It is recommended that you meet with both the ESL teacher and the parents in deciding which activities are suitable for your ELL. Have items on the checklist translated into the native language of the student, if possible, or meet with and demonstrate activities to the student to be sure the expectations are clear. As your ELL develops language proficiency these expectations should be revisited and updated to continue to keep your student meaningfully engaged in the learning process.
Setting Realistic Expectations
Being surrounded by a new culture in a setting where people are speaking a different language can be overwhelming to new students. They may experience fatigue, headaches, or other signs of stress. Also be aware that for some families, the most English proficient parent may attend university classes in the evening and arrive home late to begin helping your student with homework or looking over papers from the school. To help keep your LEP-ELL focused and motivated during the day it is important to allow periodic down-time from academic pressures. Try to negotiate a set amount of time that a student can spend doing down-time activities and be clear that some academic work is expected from the student every day. Having a parent or translator explain this to a student can be very helpful. Some down-time activities can include: resting, drawing, playing games, playing with puzzles or toys, playing on the computer, cleaning out his or her desk, etc...
Preparing for a New Student
If I could provide an ESL Survival Kit at the beginning of the school year for the classroom teacher of each new beginning level student it would contain the following items:
Supervising Your ELL
The ESL teacher, the classroom teacher, special area teachers, teaching assistants, former ESL students, native English speaking classmates, a "buddy" assigned to your student, parents and administrators…. We are all partners in helping your ELL become proficient in the English Language. You are not alone. As you choose items from the checklist, consider how your ELL's progress can be monitored by other partners in his or her learning process. Maintaining a structure and focus for learning will keep both you and your ELL motivated. Some options to consider in monitoring student progress are:

Groth's Record Match Paces Phoenix Win on Alumni Night
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Junior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) entered Friday primed for a big night, as the libero was just 10 digs shy of 1,000 in her career at Green Bay. Groth not only got her 1,000th dig while helping the Phoenix (10-14, 6-6 HL) to a 3-1 win (25-17, 25-22, 24-26, 25-14) over visiting Loyola (4-18, 1-11 HL), she also broke the school record for digs in a four-set match, tallying 35.
Groth's record night gives the junior 1,025 career digs, including 1,019 in the past two seasons. The 35 digs for the libero came on Alumni Night, breaking the previous record held by Green Bay alum and current assistant coach, Sarah Rauen. The record of 34 was set by Rauen on Nov. 17, 2005 against Youngstown State.
To hear reaction from Groth after the match, click here.
Coming off a comeback win over Valparaiso last Saturday, the Phoenix carried the momentum over to Friday night. After starting with a kill and two errors, the team rattled off 12 kills without an error while winning 20 of the final 28 points to take set one. Junior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) had five kills on six swings in helping the Phoenix hit .314.
Leitermann had her second solid match in a row, tallying 14 kills and just two errors on the night while hitting .462.
"I just tried to stay focus and patient, and our offense was really in system and Leah Poel was really putting the ball where I needed it," said Leitermann. "Tonight was a good step for our team."
Set two was a back-and-forth affair that was knotted up at 20-20 after a three-point rally by Loyola. Leitermann then sandwiched a kill from Carlie Willison (Greenfield, Wis.) with two of her own and Green Bay pulled away for a 25-22 set win and a 2-0 lead. Groth, who had 20 digs after two sets, had 12 in the second set, including the 1,000th.

Green Bay looked primed for a sweep when it led the third set 21-17, but Loyola was able to rally with four-straight points and ended up pulling away late and forcing a fourth set with a 26-24 win.
The Phoenix rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win at Sept. 30, and with a dominant fourth set Friday ensured that the Ramblers would not return the favor.
On the strength of Willison's serve and three kills by senior Abbey Gitter (Hortonville, Wis.), Green Bay turned a 10-7 lead into a 16-7 edge with a 6-0 midway through the set. Sophomore Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) then had three kills in six points as the Phoenix closed out the win. In the fourth, Green Bay hit .400 while holding Loyola to a -.067 hitting percentage.
"Loyola came out and really challenged us defensively, but I felt like we responded well," said head coach Debbie Kirch. "Even though we lost the third, I think we finished sets well and responded well in set number four."
Van Zeeland and Gitter each tallied a team and match-high 16 kills to pace the Green Bay offense while Van Zeeland added 11 digs for a double-double. Sophomore setter Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) directed the offense with 56 assists, her career high for a four-set match. The Phoenix hit .295 as a team, its high in Horizon League play in 2011.
Green Bay will stay home and return to action on Thursday, Nov. 3, hosting Butler at the Kress Center at 7 p.m.

Storms to bring threat of flash flooding
All of New Hampshire is under a Flash Flood Watch through Tuesday morning with 1-3 inches of rain expected to cause road washouts and rapid rises on streams and rivers.
Rain began moving into southern New Hampshire by early afternoon and was expected to overspread the rest of the state throughout the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, thunderstorms will develop through the afternoon, bringing the threat for flash flooding.
Forecasters said the area could see widespread street flooding in some areas in addition to sharp rises on streams and rivers.

For decades, people fishing off the coasts and piers of California have had the
dubious pleasure of crabs tangling themselves on one's lines when one wasn't
being attentive to their outfits.
Of course, this begs the question, "If this can happen accidentally, can
this also happen on purpose?"
This was the question that was brought to mind for Joe Eichensehr of Pacifica,
California. Up until then, crabs were caught either in crab rings or
traps, or when accidentally tangled on a fishing line. One day,
inspiration hit Joe and he created the CASTABLE CRAB SNARE. In fact, he
holds the patent on the design, patent #60/756.188.
Joe and his daughter Grace craft each CASTABLE CRAB SNARE by hand in their home
in Pacifica. Each cage of the snare is approximately 5"L x 2"W
x 1.25"H. As per California Fish & Game regulations, there are
six loops attached around the trap. The blue loops are not made from
nylon monofilament line, as with many of his imitators. Loops made from
nylon monofilament absorb water and eventually soften to the degree that they
no long spring open. Joe uses a proprietary material that retains its
springiness (and therefore its effectiveness)so that his crab snare can be used
all day.
Many people who use his CASTABLE CRAB SNARE place a sinker into the cage for
added weight. Joe, however, prefers to add egg weights to the tether so
that more bait can be placed into the cage, and so we also sell the weighted
version of the CASTABLE CRAB SNARE.
Joe's CASTABLE CRAB SNARE
allows you to catch crabs where you weren't able to before, places such as
jetties, rock walls, the surf, and breakwaters. It is recommended that
you use heavy tackle when slinging these snares; 10'-12' surf rods such as the
DAIWA BEEF STICK with 25 lb. test P-Line CXX Premium line are most
popular. This is because crabs don't swim (duh!) and when they are
lassoed by a crab snare, you have to drag them along the bottom and their claws
digging into the mud or sand causes a tremendous amount of drag.
There are many copies and imitators of Joe's CASTABLE CRAB SNARE on the market
today, but this, his original, is still the best.

Our Dali/Marx work led us initially to The Center of Dalinian Studies… but we may have to keep digging.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Wired Relic Wranglers finally connected with the center. A representative said they currently do not have a research arm able to assist us further with uncovering the lost script. The representative offered a few additional resources on it (and I'm currently confirming that it's not in their possession), but still no definitive location of the actual script.
The Center of Dalinian Studies cited the following three texts as having direct quotations from Giraffes on Horseback Salad:
Obra completa
Dalí. Cultura de masses
Dalí & Film
Two of the titles are available on Google Books (Dali & Film is searchable and lists a page with the script mentioned) but none are available for open browsing yet. Time to work on acquiring a copy…
In the meantime, user @stefant of Marx-Brothers.org shared another publication from 1937 with a feature on the relationship between Dali and The Marx Brothers. While it doesn't include text from the script, Giraffes on Horseback Salad is referenced and images that Dali created related to the script (which sat in Harpo's home) are included.

Late Goals Spoil Women's Soccer Opener
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay (0-1-0) played South Dakota State (1-0-0) even for the first 82 minutes on Friday night at Aldo Santaga Stadium, but the visiting Jackrabbits found the back of the net twice late to post a 2-0 victory in the season opener for both teams.
The Phoenix outshot its opponent 8-7 on the night, with a 6-2 edge in the first half. Green Bay had its best chance of the opening 45 minutes in the 19th minute, when junior Ahna Logan (Roseville, Minn.) fired a rocket that was saved by SDSU keeper Elisa Smatakis.
Green Bay had another great chance for the game's first goal in the 70th minute, but this time Smatakis punched away the shot attempt of senior Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.) to keep the game scoreless.
South Dakota State, coming off a 12-6-1 season which saw it post an 8-0-1 record in Summit League play, dented the scoreboard with the go-ahead goal in the 82nd minute when junior Darci Miller headed in a corner kick from fellow junior Megan Kingston.
Six minutes later, with the Phoenix playing aggressively while trying to equalize, the Jackrabbits got an insurance goal when Diana Potterveld scored on a 2-on-1 with Phoenix keeper Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.). Taking over for graduated keeper Maddie Drusch, the sophomore Pilarzyk made three saves, including a couple in spectacular fashion in the second half.
The Phoenix will hit the road next weekend to play in the Embassy Suites Classic hosted by Florida Gulf Coast. Green Bay will play the hosts on Friday before taking on Florida International on Sunday.

Launched earlier this year, Unisys' People Computing initiative focuses on bringing a "people perspective" to its end user support and outsourcing service offerings. I recently attended Unisys' Asia Pacific (AP) analyst event in Sydney and this initiative was presented as a key success factor in several infrastructure outsourcing wins in AP in 2011-2012. Case in point: we were given the opportunity to meet Henry Shiner, VP and CIO of McDonald's Australia/New Zealand. McDonald's signed an end user computing services contract in 2011 for the management of 43,000 end user devices in Australia and New Zealand. These devices include point-of-sale systems, back-office PC equipment, peripherals, wireless networks, customer order display units, and cameras. Unisys was selected to support the 125,000 people working at 1,060 McDonald's restaurants. According to Shiner, Unisys' end user-centric approach was one of the reasons McDonald's selected Unisys:

My three vaders are all but finished with the exception of painting my ROTJ helmet, and adding poseable hands/gloves to the mannequins.
I can't put into words the relief I'll feel when they are finally finished. I'm so over working on vader and want to be able to focus more on finishing other characters without being distracted by vader stuff.
Can't paint the helmet until spring, and the gloves are underway.
In the meantime, I wanted to complete the mannequins with fully poseable hands.
As far as the poseable hands go, I was going to build them from scratch using wood, hose, wire, etc...
Then I saw Tom Spina's poseable hands on his website and thought I'd save myself some trouble. I ordered three sets, one for each vader.
Once they arrived I immediately realized that they were too small proportionally for vader. :(
They are great for regular sized characters (and plan on ordering more at a later time ;))
No biggie, I think I found a way of re-sizing them but it will take some work.
So the point of this post is this. All of the pics I've been able to take up to now have to sort of hide the fact that there are no hands. That has a huge negative impact on how realistic the mannequins look in real life and in pics.
Here are a couple new pics showing the hands as they arrived with some plain leather stand in gloves. AND IN A NEW POSE!
Just deviating from the standard lame arms hanging straight down makes a huge difference (at least to me).
Later once the hands/gloves are finished, the plan is to take a ton of new pics in all of our favorite poses from production stills etc..
Let me know what you guys think.

Welcome to the Arctic, Cleveland-style
(Cleveland) — Dangerous wind chills are greeting Ohioans as the state gets slapped with another blast of Arctic air.
The National Weather Service has placed most of Ohio under a wind chill warning until Wednesday. Forecasters predicted wind chill readings of 20 to 30 below in Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus. Sub-zero wind chills were expected elsewhere.
The weather gave students from pre-kindergarten to college a break. Cleveland schools were among those closed. Ohio State University canceled its classes, as did the University of Akron, Youngstown State University and Ohio University. You can check the list by clicking here.
The parade of wintry weather and bitter cold led Ohio lawmakers on Monday to propose that the number of "calamity" days for public schools this year be increased from five to nine. Hearings on the bill were expected soon.

Noreena Hertz:
How to use experts — and when not to
We make important decisions every day — and we often rely on experts to help us decide. But, says economist Noreena Hertz, relying too much on experts can be limiting and even dangerous. She calls for us to start democratizing expertise — to listen not only to "surgeons and CEOs, but also to shop staff."

"May in the Summer"
U.S. Dramatic competition
*** (three stars)
Writer-director Cherien Dabis (whose "Amreeka" debuted at Sundance in 2009) steps in front of the camera, giving a sympathetic performance in this engaging story of sisters navigating love and family problems. Dabis plays May, a New York-based author who has arrived in Jordan for her wedding to a Muslim-born academic (Alexander Siddig). Her sisters ditzy Yasmine (Nadine Malouf) and acerbic Dalia (Alia Shawkat) have also flown in, and all must deal with their devoutly Christian mom (Hiam Abbass) and their philandering dad (Bill Pullman). The family relationships occasionally pull focus from the movie's central drama, as May has second thoughts about marriage. But Dabis' wise observations, of the blurred cultural lines that these modern women encounter in an ancient land, make "May in the Summer" fascinating.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Jack Johnson
While studying film at the University of California in Santa Barbara, Johnson partnered with friends Chris Malloy and Emmett Malloy to produced a surfing documentary entitled Thicker Than Water. Although the project spotlighted Johnson's talent as a director, it also showcased his flair for songwriting, and the accompanying soundtrack featured several of his own tunes. Thicker Than Water was deemed 2000's Video of the Year by Surfer magazine and paved the way for a second surf flick, The September Sessions. Meanwhile, Johnson began receiving similar notice for his songs, one of which was covered by G. Love & Special Sauce on the band's 1999 album, Philadelphonic. Shortly thereafter, Johnson's demo material piqued the interest of J.P. Plunier, a French producer who had helped launch Ben Harper's career several years prior.
With Plunier's help, Johnson recorded and released Brushfire Fairytales in 2001. The debut album featured a cameo by Ben Harper, thus sparking a friendship between the two musicians. Moreover, its casually spun folk songs attracted an audience that stretched far beyond Johnson's own surfing community, and Brushfire Fairytales went platinum as a result. After touring throughout the early half of 2002, he returned to the studio and issued On and On one year later. Despite its musical similarity to Brushfire Fairytales, On and On found Johnson delving into social commentary, resulting in a number of songs that paired worldly, insightful lyrics with a sunny surf vibe.
Jack Johnson toured heavily in support of his growing catalog, taking frequent breaks to surf and spend time with his family. When it came time to return to the studio, he resumed his partnership with Mario Caldato, Jr., the same producer who had helmed On and On, and decamped to Mango Trees Studio in Hawaii. In Between Dreams was released in 2005, sporting a mango tree on the album's cover (in tribute to the studio) while offering a familiar mix of tropical songwriting and conscious commentary. The album peaked at number two, Johnson's highest chart position to date in America, and sold more than two million copies stateside. Oddly enough, it was Johnson's next project, the kids-oriented Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George, that finally sent him to the top of the charts. The soundtrack debuted at number one in February 2006, selling 149,000 copies during its first week and making Curious George the first animated film since Pocahontas to have a chart-topping soundtrack. Like the four albums before it, it climbed to platinum status.
Despite such continued success, however, Johnson was dealt a sharp blow in 2007, when his cousin Danny Riley succumbed to brain cancer. That death, coupled with the decision to record outside of Hawaii's familiar environment, lent a moody ambience to Johnson's next record, 2008's Sleep Through the Static. Nonetheless, the bulk of the album retained a warm, sand-scrubbed feel, and Sleep Through the Static went platinum within five weeks. Johnson traveled throughout Europe that summer, playing some of his largest shows to date, and the resulting footage was captured for the 2009 CD/DVD release En Concert. Johnson released his fifth studio album, To the Sea, in June 2010. Covering a nine-year span, the Jack Johnson & Friends: The Best of Kokua Festival compilation appeared in 2012 and featured performances from Johnson's benefit concert for the nonprofit, environmental education organization the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. Johnson returned to his Mango Tree studio with Mario Caldato, Jr. -- who produced his 2005 release In Between Dreams -- to record his sixth studio album, From Here to Now to You. The album, which was released in September 2013, was preceded by the single "I Got You." A couple of live releases quickly followed -- the vinyl-only Live at Third Man Records 6-15-2013 came out in November 2013 and an EP called From Here to Now to You appeared in 2014 -- and then he went quiet in 2015 and 2016. Johnson returned in early 2017 with the single "Fragments," the first taste of his seventh studio album. ~ Andrew Leahey

- Chandeleur:
In France this traditional day is celebrated every 2nd of February with crepes! The tradition of feasting on crêpes stuffed with sweet and savoury fillings is certainly a popular one...although there are several thoughts on the origins of the day. Also known as Candlemas, it is a day where candles are blessed in churches around the country, and all the candles in the house should be lit. Tradition also suggests that the crib from the Christmas nativity should not be stored until Candlemas, which is the last Christmas Day cycle. As for the pancakes, it is said that Pope Gelasius I (c AD 490) was distributing pancakes to pilgrims arriving in Rome. It is also suggested that the pancakes, round in shape and gold in colour are reminiscent of the solar disc, referring to the return of spring after a dark and cold winter. Whatever the reasons, this is a day that is fun and easy to celebrate!
- Nice Carnival:
The Nice Carnival almost rivals Rio with its extravagant and colourful parades down the Promenade des Anglais. With over 1,000 dancers and musicians from all over the world, the carnival brings the streets of Nice alive under clear blue skies. The opening and closing festivities are free for everyone, and then each subsequent parade requires a ticket for the grandstands or the promenade. The Carnival starts at the beginning of Lent and lasts for 15 days.
- Napoleon's landed in Golfe Juan:
Fans of Napoleonic history won't want to miss this re-enactment of the landing of the Emperor Napoleon after his exile in Elba. On March 1, 1815, Napoleon arrived with his army, and the scene is played out again each year on the beach in Vallauris Golfe-Juan. Many events are organised, including the battle - with Calvary - Napoleon's ship and music concerts. A mini Napoleon market has stalls selling memorabilia and there is a chance to learn more about this historical episode from experts who arrange talks over the weekend.
- International Fair in Nice:
In 2014, the International Fair of Nice celebrated its 70th anniversary... Yet, it is still as youthful as ever! What is the secret of such dynamism and eternal youth? This is something you can discover by going to the Palais des Exhibitions, Salon Bâtir and Espace Plein Air.
- International Cannes Film Festival:
The world's greatest film festival. Every year, the greatest international stars climb the famous steps to the Palais to present their films to critics and professionals from the world over. The Cannes Film Festival ranks second only to the Olympic Games for global media coverage.
- Monaco Grand Prix:
One of the races in the Formula 1 World Championship and among the world's best known sporting events, this Grand Prix is unique. Its course through the winding streets of the Principality highlights the drivers' talent more than the power of their cars. For both the drivers and car manufacturers, a win in Monaco is the most prestigious victory of the season and means they are an automobile racing legend.
- Bastille day:
Bastille Day is celebrated across the whole of France with a bang...well, several in fact, fireworks always feature heavily and the residents of Cannes celebrate this national holiday with as much enthusiasm as the rest of the country. Various activities are held across the city on the 14th, in memory of the storming of the Bastille on the same date in 1789. Traditionally the fireworks display normally starts off between 10-11pm. Celebrations are also generally free of charge.
- Fireworks Festival:
As far as fireworks are concerned, Cannes blazed the trail. As early as 1967, the town went much further than the traditional firework display: it organised a huge pyromusical contest of fireworks set to music. For the first time, firework specialists had to marry melodies with colours. The results were very striking and impressed the audience. In 1998, a further step forward was taken with the "Festival Pyrotechnique de Cannes". Firework displays now reach the highest heights of sophistication ? which is only to be expected, as they are designed by the greatest specialists in the world. They do their very best to enchant 200,000 spectators with their bombs, candles and comets on each of the six evenings. Each year, a trophy - the Silver Vestal - is awarded to the best show in the contest. Inspired by Vesta, the sister of Zeus and goddess of fire, it is one of the major trophies in the profession but is above all a passport to the Golden Vestal, the supreme trophy, awarded every five years during an elite contest between the winners of the five previous festivals.
Top 5 things to see between Cannes and Monaco
- Nice Old town:
Nice Old Town (known locally as Le Vieux Nice) is a lovely honeycomb of narrow streets, dotted with beautiful Baroque churches, vibrant squares, shops and restaurants. Thronging with tourists eating the famous ice-cream during the day, at night it becomes one big party with bars and nightclubs spilling out onto the streets. The key things to see are the Cours Saleya (the open air market), Chapelle de la Miséricorde (a wonderfully ornate Baroque church dating from 1740), Chapelle de l'Annonciation (known locally as Sainte-Rita), Eglise Saint-Jacques (dating from 1612 and built by the Jesuits, it has some excellent frescoes), the Cathedral Sainte Réparate (1699), and the Palais Lascaris (paintings and statues).
- St Paul de Vence:
The medieval era of French history can still very much be felt today, perhaps nowhere better than at the nearly perfect St Paul de Vence. About 12 miles from Nice and almost directly inland from the Nice Airport, this medieval hilltop jewel is what visitors dream of when they say they want to stroll through a charming village in the South of France. From the 12th-century keep, which now serves as the town hall, to the 14th-century church, the 16th-century fortified walls and the cemetery, which stands on the original village land and is the final resting place of Marc Chagall, walking through St Paul de Vence is truly a walk through history. Travelers love the Choisy Gallerie, where it's sometimes possible to find Christian Choisy himself at work. Combined with the stunning views and the town's 20th-century obsession with showcasing artists, it's a day trip you won't forget. As you could guess, the feast of the senses experienced at St Paul de Vence extends to its dining spots as well. Whether at the epic la Colombe d'Or set in a fairytale garden or the casual Le Café de la Place, which offers a first-row view of spirited boules games, there is something for every taste and budget, while sacrificing nothing in ambiance.
Practical Info:
The best way to get to St Paul de Vence is by car, which makes it a natural fit for a guided tour. By public transport, there are buses from Nice (about 45 minutes) and Cagnes-sur-Mer (about 30 minutes).
- Antibes:
Sixteenth-century ramparts and winding cobbled streets on the French Riviera-welcome to Antibes! A Mediterranean city with quite the history, Antibes was originally known as Antipolis, founded by the Ancient Greeks in 5 B.C. Then came the Romans, who renamed the city Antiboul and erected a theater big enough for 10,000 people. Barbarians and disrepair came next, until the area's famous ramparts were ordered by Louis XIV, safeguarding Antibes from raiders and pirates who trawled the Mediterranean Sea. The first tourists arrived to Cap d'Antibes in the 1880s, and the city and its adjacent resort town of Juan les Pins quickly became a summer playground for Europe's elite, beloved by Golden Age stars like Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Picasso also spent six months living and painting in Antibes, and today you can see his works from that period at Antibes' Picasso Museum in the Chateau Grimaldi. Now a town of 80,000, Antibes stretches deep into the hills. It's home to the largest marina in the Mediterranean and is a city of superyachts and their owners, who relax in the shaded mansions of Cap d'Antibes. Famous for its restaurants and surrounding beaches, Antibes' Old Town also makes for a beautiful wander. Every morning, there's a market by the marina where locals and tourists seek out fresh food from the region.
- Les Iles de Lerins:
The largest of the Lérins islands located 1 km (2/3 of a mile) from Cannes, the Ile de Sainte-Marguerite is abounding with eucalyptus and pines. The island is most famous for allegedly holding the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask captive during the 17th century. During the summer months, a vast amount of boats stay in the shallow, safeguarded "Plateau du Milieu" between the islands where there is more area for water sports. The village of Sainte-Marguerite is comprised of about twenty buildings. Most of these are home to fishermen, but there are a few establishments offering refreshments to tourists who are exploring the island. The historic Fort Royal now contains a youth hostel and a Museum featuring items recovered from ancient shipwrecks. Island visitors are also able to explore a number of former prison cells and an old Roman cistern room. Close to the Fort Royal is a small cemetery for French soldiers and another alongside it for North African soldiers. You can also explore a number of former prison cells and an old Roman cistern room.
Practical Info The Ile Saint-Marguerite is 15-20 minute commercial ferry ride from Cannes. The island is a very popular attraction, especially during the warm summer months.
- Eze Village:
The tiny village of Eze is one of the jewels of the south of France which is probably why it is chosen as a holiday spot by royalty, the rich and the famous. Perched on a rocky hill above the sea, it could not get any prettier. With narrow cobblestone, pedestrian-only streets, wonderful views of the surrounding hills and the azure water below, it is just as it was centuries ago. One of the most famous inhabitants was Frederic Nietzsche who, in the 1880s, used to walk up and down a hill path to the sea thinking up his philosophy. At the top of the hill, just above the village, is the exotic garden. Filled with statues of earth goddesses, cacti, winding paths and wonderfully relaxing contemplative spaces and lookout points, this is not to be missed.

Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.
Tipping Suggestions
Tips in restaurants are usually added on at 10/15 % of the bill. However, it is often a subject of controversy whether this amount actually goes to the waiter or not, therefore it is your choice whether to tip more.
Arrival & Departure Formalities
Travel documents are your responsibility. In general you should have:

In autumn and spring you can rely on warm weather as well. With around 8 hours of sun per day, these seasons are quite mild as well. By the Mediterranean climate the winters are pleasant.
It is advisable to contact your doctor before you travel if you have any specific health concerns and take out appropriate travel and medical insurance.
Electrical service in France is supplied at 220-240 volts/50 hertz.

Welcome from North Central Texas.
I think you'll like it here.
I just picked up my 1st* Glock, a 19. I grabbed 100 rounds to run through it when I get to the range next. I plan on CC the 19 and repurpose my Sigma .40 to HD to back up my Mossberg 500. I'm still debating on carrying it before I break it in. I don't know if I can blindly trust Glock without a test run. I think my first upgrade will be a plug for the grip. Then it's to the sights.
* I acquired a 19 when I wasn't supposed to, I was a youngin' and I ended up turning it in to the cops.
Welcome from North Central Texas.
I think you'll like it here.
I hope to learn a bit of knowledge and make some e-buddies.
Firstly. Welcome to the Forum.
What is your impression of the G19. I am waiting for the Gen 4s to come out, there is a range less than ten miles from here that rents, I want to rent a Gen4 G19 and shoot the crap out of it so I can decide weather I would like it as a CCW.
Since you just got yours, have you had a chance to shoot it? and if so what are your impressions?
I have a Gen3 G17 and the hollow in the grip does not bother me and the sights thought different than the 3 dot that I am use to work very well, the gun right out of the box was and remains very accurate.
Good luck with your new purchase, Give a review if you have time.
i love my 17. after firing it a few times i've added grip tape and an ext. slide release (i'm a lefty, the factory release just isn't large enough for my left index finger to grab all the time)
I'll get to fire it sometime next week. So far it feels good in my hand. I'm a lefty too so I'll have to figure out if I need an extended release.
As far as a gen 4 I may wait and get a 23 later on if I like it so I can replace my Sigma. I was thinking of trading it in but I would only get $125 for it.
I also have a 26/27 in my future for CCW and my wife.

July 20th, 2012
It wouldn't be a proper British summer without a good wedding to attend. If you know of anyone getting married this summer, they will have probably tied down most details; the cake, the flowers, the table plan and the dress will be hanging up (covered up) waiting for the big reveal.
When it comes to choosing 'the dress' most brides-to-be know the type of dress they are looking for. The most popular style of dress over the last few years has been the strapless fitted bodice, with full skirt. According to a study by TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com, 73 per cent of brides last year opted for a strapless design, but thanks to The Duchess of Cambridge and her gorgeous lace & satin Alexander McQueen dress, the trend is now changing. She has influenced a real shift in wedding dress design with brides choosing lace, long sleeves and illusion necklines, all inspired by Kate's dress. In fact, Kate's wedding dress is so famous; it even has its own Wikipedia page.
One very important detail not to leave to the last minute is bridal lingerie. It is essential for us Bravissimo ladies to get the underwear right; as we know the bra will make or break the dress, however wonderful it is. So if you are the bride-to-be, we would advise ringing your local Bravissimo store and making a 20 minute appointment with one of our fully trained fitting staff. Here is a taster of some of the stunning bridal lingerie available; there are also plenty of options in the summer sale, so you will find bridal lingerie for all budgets.
The Evie Bridal Bra by Panache available in ivory, is a perfect bra if you have chosen a strapless wedding dress. It is underwired and lightly padded, and has detachable multiway straps for other styles of dresses. If you do wear a strapless gown, it will still offer you fantastic support. This bra is really pretty and feminine, with an antique feel. There are pretty matching briefs and a thong available too.
The Satine Bra by Bravissimo, also available in ivory, is a stunning and luxurious bra. It is a lightly padded plunge and creates amazing shape, but gives great comfort. It would be the perfect choice if your bridal gown has a lower cut neckline. One reviewer said "True to size, made from beautiful light weight material, very soft on the skin and a stunning, yet elegant style". The Satine Bra is also available to buy with a matching thong or briefs.
For more beautiful bridal lingerie, take a look at Bravissimo.com, and if you are attending a wedding this weekend, or even getting married, Have a fabulous time.

The System Is In
By Flynn Bulthius
As a freshman midfielder on the Ole Miss men's lacrosse team, I could not have wished for a better experience. When we started fall ball first semester, everyone recognized the chance to prove himself and, at the same time, have fun playing lacrosse. We worked hard, and this spring we have worked even harder building this program from scratch.
The spring is full of excitement, as practice intensity picks up and teammates grow even closeras the season goes on. One of the differences in college ball is the traveling. Everyone loves getting on the bus and road tripping to other campuses. This season has definitely been a step forward for the ?Ole Miss lacrosse program, and as a freshman I'm excited about what we can do in the next four years.
Coach Aiello and Coach Staines are dedicated to this team and do a great job of not only inspiring us to win, but teaching us the ways to get there. This freshman class has a lot of talent and is a great group of guys who feel that we are the building blocks to this program. We are getting a lot of support from the older players like Max Snider, Connor Kelly, and Mac Ford on offense and, on defense, Matt Raines, and standout goalie Nick Loverde, as we transition to MCLA play.
The SELC has been great and our schedule is always tough and exciting. Gameplay is physical, high tempo and exciting. We are currently getting ready for the second half of the season, and are coming off a huge win against rival LSU in New Orleans at the All-State Sugar Bowl Lacrosse Classic. This game is always a fight, but for the game to go into overtime and for us to win in overtime in front of a largely LSU-favored crowd was something we've gained momentum from and certainly won't forget.
There is still a lot of lacrosse left this season, and we don't plan on letting off the gas. We know we have a long road to go to make a run in this league. But with the recruiting class coming in next year and the players buying into Coach Aiello's system, it's only going to get bigger. And believing in each other, which Coach stresses, is what is helping this program become special.

Therefore, Do I prune now, or wait until after they bloom? Do I get aggressive and cut massive portions of limbs down, or spread it out over two seasons?Secondly, I want to order more fruit trees and perhaps a filbert tree. Do you recomend a mail order company for these items? If so, whom?
Fire Blight? heard of it but nveer saw it I think. No, my limbs look like they died and now have moss and lichen, mushrooms and the like. It appears to be where it was last pruned or limbs broke during storms.


text: MTA to testify at pension hearing MTA President Anne Wass is scheduled to submit the testimony below to the Joint Committee on Public Service on Monday, Nov. 9. TESTIMONY OF MTA PRESIDENT ANNE WASS TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SERVICE RE: REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION ON PUBLIC EMPLOYEE PENSIONS November 9, 2009 Good morning. Chairman McGee, Chairman Spellane and members of the Public Service Committee. My name is Anne Wass, President of the Massachusetts Teachers Association. It is a pleasure, once again, to be testifying before you today, this time, on pension reform. At the outset, let me congratulate the Public Service Committee for its key role in the passage of pension reform legislation earlier this session. Thanks to your work, the abuses in the system are gone. With a few exceptions, what remains is a good system that we support. In general, there are two observations I wish to make on the Special Commission's proposals that are before you. First, the application of some of the proposed changes would negatively impact new employees. MTA has 107,000 members all of whom, over time, will be replaced by new employees. During this transition of thirty years or so, if the Commission proposals are enacted, there will be a major disparity in the benefits earned by these new employees when compared with other teachers. They will be working side-by-side with and assuming the same responsibilities as their predecessors. This trend to treat new employees differently than their colleagues benefit-wise is not one that should be encouraged to continue. Second, the Special Commission points out that while teachers contribute 11% of their salary, or 95% toward the normal cost of their pensions, the Commonwealth contributes just 0.6 of 1% of teacher salaries which amounts to only 5% of that normal cost. In brief, Massachusetts pays, as an employer, less than any state in the country toward normal teacher pension costs. This is in stark contrast with private sector employers and most states which match an employee's 6.2% contribution to Social Security and contribute to an employee pension or 401k as well. Since new teachers will essentially be paying for their own pensions, we ask that Public Service reject Proposals 3 and 4 of the Commission Report. Proposal 3 would gradually reduce the age factors in computing one's pension. Proposal 4 would increase the period for averaging earnings for benefit purposes from three to five years or by a factor of two-thirds. Such changes are neither beneficial nor needed when one considers that employers have an obligation to fund a fair proportion of their employees' pension plans and especially in Massachusetts where public employer contributions are de minimus. In addition, we ask that Proposal 28 that prorates retiree health insurance premium costs be rejected outright especially when this subject is outside of the Commission's legislative charge to study pensions. Moreover, for many years, the state and local governments have been steadily increasing active and retiree premium shares, co-pays and deductibles. Finally, while the Commission's proposal to increase the $360 or 99 cents a day retiree COLA is a step in the right direction it is only that – "a step". Instead we recommend that retiree COLAs be indexed gradually to approximate what Social Security does for its recipients. Currently, the maximum Social Security COLA is applied to a base of $27,876 at full retirement. Legislation (H2487) to do this is currently before the Public Service Committee and has been sponsored by 46 legislators. Thank you for the time and consideration you have given me today. The Commission's report contains valuable information that now can be found conveniently in one place and I thank each member of the Commission for his or her contributions. There are other important pension issues we will be discussing in the coming weeks with members of the Public Service Committee. For today's hearing, however, time dictates our highlighting just a few themes and concerns relative to the 32 proposals contained in the Commission's Report. Thank you.

Yolanda Adams Launches "Simply Yolanda" Bath And Body Line
GRAMMY-Award winning gospel music songstress Yolanda Adams is launching Simply Yolanda, a new bath and body line, aimed at rejuvenating skin while providing an at-home spa experience.
The host of her own morning show, The Yolanda Adams Morning Show and performer who has inspired millions through her original music is launching the Simply Yolanda website today, allowing women and men with a realm of skin care concerns to get affordable, at-home solutions.
Adams' signature Simply Yolanda line includes a variety of fine oils, creams and body washes aimed at rejuvenating, uplifting and improving the appearance of skin and easily maintaining already-healthy skin. The warmly scented products were created by the maker of Estee Lauder, Bath and Boyd Works, and Origins, under the direction of Adams. The debut line includes relaxing scents such as the "love" and "chocolate" bundles.
"Many of us are living very fast-paced, high-stress lifestyles, but we all can't take the time, or the spend the money, it takes to head to the spa to relax. It was important to me that my line of products gave the spa experience for less, while still solving common skincare issues," Adams explains.
The website is officially live, allowing online ordering and a variety of shipping options to solve skincare problems far and wide. Check it out here, simplyyolanda.com.
Way to go Yolanda!!!

Video shot by Josh Hilkemann
LINCOLN, Neb. — Bo Spencer scored 19 points to lead four Nebraska players in double figures, and the Cornhuskers defeated Penn State 70-58 on Wednesday night for their first Big Ten victory.
Toney McCray added 13 points and Caleb Walker and Dylan Talley scored 12 apiece for the Huskers (9-7, 1-4).
Tim Frazier scored a career-high 30 points for the Nittany Lions (9-9, 1-4) for his conference-leading eighth 20-point game.
The Huskers, in their first season in the Big Ten after moving from the Big 12, avoided their second 0-5 conference start in three years.
Nebraska took control early and went to the locker room up 34-22 after putting together 10-0 and 8-0 runs and holding Penn State to two field goals the last 8:41 of the first half.
The Huskers went 7½ minutes with just one field goal in the second half before Spencer drove the baseline for a 53-40 lead. They put the game away on Spencer's and McCray's back-to-back 3-pointers for a 62-44 lead.
Center Jorge Brian Diaz and guard Dylan Talley continued to work their way back into Nebraska's rotation after missing significant time because of injuries. Each played more than 20 minutes in Saturday's loss at Illinois.
Against Penn State, Diaz (sore feet) had four points and three blocked shots in 27 minutes and Talley (thigh bruise) scored in double figures for the sixth time in his 11 games.
Diaz's highlight came on the defensive end when he blocked two straight point-blank shots by Ross Travis.
Penn State's rough outing made its last two games — Sunday's six-point, last-minute loss to No. 12 Indiana and last Thursday's 20-point win over Purdue — seem like a long time ago.
With the exception of the versatile Frazier, the Nittany Lions were badly outplayed early. They made only 7 of their first 24 shots and were outrebounded 19-9 in the first half.
They warmed to 33 percent by the end, and they outrebounded the Huskers 24-12 in the second half to hold a 34-31 advantage on the boards.
Frazier made 10 of 16 shots — accounting for half his team's field goals — and all nine of his free throws. Take away Frazier, and the Nittany Lions shot just 23 percent (10 of 44).
Both teams struggled from the perimeter. Penn State missed 14 of its first 15 3-pointers and Nebraska was off target with 9 of its first 11 before making three in a row to go up 45-29 early in the second half.

Marco Reus stays ahead

The Hometown Favorite
If born anywhere else, Marco Reus may have been a pilot. Or pursued his interest in history. But Reus was born in Dortmund, raised as a BVB fan (he rooted for Tomáš Rosický), and bred as a BVB player. He trained at the Borussia Dortmund youth academy before joining the U-19 of Rot Weiss Ahlen in 2006. In the third division, he improved and was appointed to the Bundesliga 2 in 2008. The next season confirmed his talent: he scored 4 goals in 27 appearances. During the summer of 2009 he signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach where he rapidly became one of their strongest players, scoring 28 goals in 78 games. The 2011-12 season was a great success for Reus as he scored 21 goals and was noted for 14 assists, thus helping his team reach international competitions. Reus' great season continued when he was called up for the German National Team to play in the 2012 European Championship. He was also named 2012 German Footballer of the Year. For the season 2012-13 Reus transferred to his "hometown team," Borussia Dortmund. He continues to perfect his game and his pre-game ritual: Reus always puts on his right socks, right shin guards, and right boots first. However, he always steps on the pitch with his left foot first.
