Soccer America selects the top 20 clubs, based on success of their teams in national youth championships
over the last three years and national recognition for players (including U.S. national youth team selection) from these clubs in 2006.
ECLIPSE SELECT. The
Chicago area club moved into the top spot on the strength of an impressive run in the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships. Four Eclipse teams won regional titles. The U-17s and U-15s returned
home with national championships. The U-19s finished second, and the U-18s lost out on a berth in their divisionÆs final when they fell in a shootout. Eclipse alums include 2006 Freshman of the
Year Michele Weissenhofer from Notre Dame. Rising Star: Sophomore Brianne Rodriguez, one of the countryÆs top young setup players.
DALLAS TEXANS. Like the Texans
boys, the girls rank second in the nation. In 2006, the U-18 Texans Red North won a USYS national championship, and two other Texans girls team finished third at the nationals in Iowa. The Texans
will be strong again in 2007. The U-18s and U-17s won their Showcase divisions at the DisneyÆs Soccer Showcase, and they along with the U-16s and U-14s won Region III Premier League titles. Rising
Star: Defender Alina Garciamendez played for the U.S. U-15s at the
Nike Friendlies.
PDA. The New Jersey club has dominated the Region I championships, winning
nine championships over the last three years. A team to watch is the U-15 Fire, winner of its Showcase division at JanuaryÆs DisneyÆs Soccer Showcase. PDA produced quite a 1-2 punch in WomenÆs
College Player of the Year Heather OÆReilly and All-Freshman pick Tobin Heath, who helped North Carolina win the 2006 NCAA Division I title. Rising Star: Pennsylvanian Shannon Roche, who attended
last yearÆs U-14 national team girls megacamp.
MICHIGAN HAWKS. The Hawks team up with the WolvesÆ boys program to form one of the MidwestÆs best clubs. Six gold stars
appear within the Wolves-Hawks crest; each star represents one of the USYS National Championships ù including four girls titles, the most recent in 2004. At last fallÆs Michigan state championships,
the Hawks won four age groups and finished second in the other two. Rising Stars: Defender Victoria Bailey and forward Kelsey Kassab were both called into under-15 national team camps.
SLAMMERS FC. Once again, the Newport Beach club is the top ranked club from the girls soccer hotbed of Southern California. The Slammers won the U-16 Super Group at U.S. Club
SoccerÆs 2006 National Cup V Championships, giving them seven national titles over the last five years and U.S. Club Soccer championships in each of the last three seasons. In January, four
Slammers were called into the U-17 national team camp. Rising Star: U-17 selection Charney Burke scored in the U-16 SlammersÆ Super Group championship victory.
RUSH. Any doubt about the RushÆs strength was put to rest last summer when it won the U-19 division at the U.S. Youth Soccer Championships ù its first title in five years after winning six
championship in 1998-2001. Rush products Ameera Abdullah (Florida) and Jordan Angeli (Santa Clara) got called into the first womenÆs U-21 camp of 2007. A team to watch is the RushÆs U-17 squad,
winner of six state titles in seven years. Rising Star: Danielle Foxhoven represented the U.S. U-17s at the first WomenÆs Nike Friendlies.
MUSTANG SOCCER. Mustang
won a USYS national championship in 2004 and has arguably the best early-teen program in girls soccer-crazy Northern California. The U-12 and U-13 girls teams fell in the 2006 Region IV finals on
penalty kicks. The programÆs director is former U.S. international John Doyle. It includes 5,000 players. It has been developing the Tassajara Soccer Complex, a $4.5 million complex and community
center. Rising Stars: Alexandra Conti and Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick, who attended the Æ06 U-14 Identification Camp.
ST. LOUIS SC. The former Busch Soccer Club has a
long-established reputation as one of the best boys and girls clubs in the country. Its most recent youth title came in 2005 when the U-15 girls were crowned USYS national teams. In 2006, Gary
MillerÆs team lost on penalty kicks in the U-16 regional final. Last fall, it won the U-17 state title, one of four crowns captured by St. Louis SC teams. The club is directed by former NASL and
MISL player Steve Pecher. Rising Star: Maggi?Kistner scored for the U.S. U-16s against Germany in March 2006.
EDMOND SC. The Oklahoma club moved into the Top 20 at
No. 19 last year and climbs 10 spots this year on the strength of its third straight appearance in a USYS National Championship final ù and the second appearance in three years for Jimmy HamptonÆs
ESC æ90 Black. HamptonÆs ESC æ91 Black team fell in the final of the 2005 U-14 division. Between them, the æ90 and æ91 Edmond teams have captured 11 state championships. Rising Star: Calli Cooper
attended the 2006 ODP Thanksgiving Interregional æ91 Girls Camp.
SO CAL BLUES. The pioneering girls club won its second USYS national title in 2005, capturing the
U-14 championship. The Blues started out in 1990 when Larry Draluck began working with a group of girls from South Orange County (San Juan Capistrano). Those girls were to form the foundation of the
first Blues youth teams. Tab Bobak, a Southern California youth coaching legend, joined the program soon thereafter. Rising Star: Elizabeth Eddy made the Region Æ92 team that traveled to Florida
for the Interregionals.
REAL COLORADO. Jamaican Lorne Donaldson, a former A-League head coach and MLS assistant coach, has built Real Colorado into a national power.
It was the only team to win all four games at the 2006 USYA National Championships, capturing the U-16 Masotto Cup. Real has had 17 seniors verbally commit to D1 colleges. In 2007, Real Colorado
will move its tournaments to DickÆs Sporting Goods Park, the new home of MLSÆs Colorado Rapids. Rising Star: Jennifer Kmezich won the adidas Golden Boot at the U-16
FREESTATE SA. The Freestate Shooters, part of MarylandÆs Freestate Soccer Association, boast one of the greatest collections of talent in girls soccer today. The Shooters,
state champions in 2004 and runners-up in 2005 and 2006, feature three U.S. under-17 national team players. Goalie Yewande Balogun, defender Julia Bouchelle and midfielder Christine Nairn all
represented the USA at the 2006 Nike WomenÆs Friendlies. Rising Star: Shooter Tiffany McCarty is a member of the U.S. U-16 national team player pool.
BETHESDA SC. The
Maryland club has been a steady producer of national talent for many years. After sending at least one team to the USYSA National Championships for the last five years, Bethesda ran into bad luck
at the 2006 Region I championships. Three Bethesda teams ù the U-19 Excel, U-16 Rapids and U-15 Blast ù reached the finals, where they all lost by one-goal margins. Rising Star: Chante Sandiford of
the Rapids represented Region I at last fallÆs ODP Thanksgiving Interregionals.
REAL SO CAL. No other Southern California club has teams ranked as high in both the
Boys and Girls Top 20s. Real So Cal won the 2004 U-18 USYS national championship as So Cal United. RSC ranked No. 1 in the Super Y-LeagueÆs Girls First XI ahead of the Chicago Magic after claiming
the U-15 girls title at the North American Championship. The boys and girls programs have sent more than 170 players on to Division I colleges. Rising Star: Caitlin Blosser was U-15 Girls MVP at
the Super Y-League North American Finals.
SAN DIEGO SURF. The SurfÆs string of six straight seasons with at least one team in the USYS National Championships ended in
2006, but it came close. The U-17s and U-16s both lost in the Region IV finals by 1-0 scores. The SurfÆs U-18s also were state championships in 2006. The Surf is an institution on the national
youth scene, organizing the Surf Cup and Surf Girls Cup, two of the most important girls tournaments. Rising Star: Elle Magrassia, who scored a great overtime goal in the Cal South U-16 State Cup
final against the Eagles.
EAGLES SC. The Ventura County (Calif.) program makes its debut in the Girls Top 20. Coach Vince Thomas led the Eagles to the 2004 U-14 USYS
national championship. The Eagles have 16 seniors headed off to Division I womenÆs programs next fall, including Nicole Sweetman, who will play for perennial WomenÆs College Cup finalist UCLA. They
also have a flourishing boys program that competes in the Coast Soccer League. Rising Star: Bianca Burright, who made the U.S. U-15 girls national team in 2006.
PLEASANTON RAGE. The Rage is another Northern California powerhouse, which produced one of the great teams of the last decade. It won the U-17 national championship in 2002 and the U-19
championship in 2004. The RageÆs best finish in 2006 was the U-15sÆ second-place finish at the Region IV championships. Rising Stars: Madeline Fox, Jessica Rachel Clark, Carlee Payne and Ahsha Smith
all were picked to the Region IV team for the 2006 U.S. Youth Soccer ODP Thanksgiving Interregionals.
WORLD CLASS. The New Jersey club had three players ù Nikki
Krzysik, Sheree Gray and Yael Averbuch ù make the 2004 U.S. U-19 World Championship team. Averbuch has gone on to lead North Carolina to the 2006 NCAA Division I title and make the U.S. national
team squad for the Four Nations Tournament in China. Younger sister Shira Averbuch, 16, is a promising player in the girls national team program. Rising Star: Defender Amber Brooks is also a member
of the U.S. under-16 girls national team.
LAGUNA HILLS ECLIPSE. Another powerhouse from Southern CaliforniaÆs Orange County, the Eclipse won national championships in
2002 (U-15s) and 2005 (U-18s). In 2006, the Eclipse United finished second in the Region IV U-19 finals, and the Eclipse White was named the U-17 Coast Soccer League Premier and California Premier
champion. Its recent graduates include University of Texas star Kasey Moore. Rising Star: Laura Cole, a high school junior on the U-17 Eclipse White, attended the Thanksgiving Interregionals.
IRVINE STRIKERS SC. Better known for their boys program based in Orange County (Calif.), the Strikers won their first US Youth Soccer national championship in 2006 when
they captured the U-14 title. Julie Mckee and Makenna Henry won individual honors as the Strikers finished their run with a 1-0 victory over the Hershey Attack in the final. Rising Stars: Nicole De
Puy and Natalia Ledezma are members of the Region IV æ92 team that traveled to Florida over Thanksgiving for the USYS ODP competition.

Dixie Hollins wide receiver Alex Valentin has committed to Stetson, Rebels coach Mike Morey said.
Valentin considered becoming a walk-on at Miami before deciding on going to Stetson.
"It was a great financial package for Alex," Morey said. "He won't have to pay much out-of-pocket."
Last year, Valentine caught 17 passes for 380 yards and four touchdowns.

What will they think of next?
You do know I am agreeing with you, right?
sorry mate , been hectic here and the side crap i've to deal with making me 1 eyed but a differenbt and not good way , sorry eh .. arguing with jounalists who today wrote this , The Cronulla riots , a unprovoked attack on innocent muslims"
the cronulla riots here where started when a group on muslim beat a surf lifer up and help off others with 2 silver pistols and told everyone this was their beach now , Australians where not allowed there , so 25,000 folks turned up the next day
this journalist is aussy but brainwashed and these video's by this apologist are now accepted as fact ..
grrr they are rewriting history everywhere..
All good Jack, apology not required, I'm on your side, what little I know of you seems like you have been through some unfair things, and still have a lot on your plate, you also seem to have educated yourself on history and are somewhat of a walking encyclopedia, I don't think I could handle the things you are facing in your country, chin up Mate, stand your ground for what is right, I hope you get your country back the way it should be,
the past few days make that awful unlikely , Q society is under siege from the socialists who are happy to vandalise stuff attack old folks beat up indigenous folks but thats ok thats peaceful protests like occupy
the brigade they tried to disband and force me to disclose all members
and now anything including quoting the korna is a hate crime ( if your a non muslim)
they can call for jihad and call for individuals to be killed , for entire races to be killed and for entire religous sects ( Ba'hai armadia Muslims and others ) to be wiped out in pamphlets that the government pays to have printed
we are pretty screwed
so time to get busy again..
cheers eh ..
Oh yes! VERY realistic stun gun phone... The sticker mimicking a screen is just absolutely incredible! :crazy:

Paid for Priority Mail Express next day delivery. Never delivered. Person was home all day. Web site claimed an attempt to deliver at 11:33 AM and a notice was left. This is not true, no notice was left. This Post Office is a disaster!!!
forced to return every cent he has supposedly earned while in the position. It is inefficiently run; the
staff is rude and unhelpful. I can't even remember the number of times that they have claimed to have attempted delivery of a parcel but had to leave a notice since no one was available. No such attempts were ever made, nor were any notices left. I'm housebound; all they needed to do was show up and ring the bell.
Why aren't they held accountable?

Comments about Nuun Active Hydration Drink Tablets - 8 Pack:
on a hot day, cold nunn goes a really long way. nice and light, and tastes terrific. effervescent and refreshing, they also add a nice smooth boost through the engineered blend of vitamins and minerals. if you can find fresh cold water along the way, a convenient tube in the pocket is like money in the bank. first rate product, among the best, maybe the best overall that I've tried. thumbs up...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have used NUUN for years. Easy to digest. There are many flavors but mine is Fruit Punch.
Perfect if you find gatorade too sweet
By HobokenDavid
from Hoboken, NJ
A friend recommended to me as I complained that most sports drinks I tried while doing 3 plus hours of biking tasted too sweet (Gatorade) or too much like a sports drink (HEED). This one adds a bit of flavor without being overpowering and I have found it provides nutrients needed to prevent cramping and keep me going.
Nuun tabs
By Fearless
from Kapolei , Hawaii
See all my reviews
These tabs are convenient to take along on ur rides. No more powders in a ziplock bag. It mixes well and taste great. Ordered the strawberry lemonade flavor. Also tried banana and lemonlime flavors, both we're good also. Cuts the fatigue and cramping on long 3hr rides. Will try more flavors.

Jeff Kollman - Guitar; Shane Gaalaas - Drums; Barry Sparks - Bass
Another brilliant all-instrumental release from the monster trio known as Cosmosquad is entitled Squadrophenia. Retaining the multi-dimensional approach the band developed on their debut album, Cosmosquad have successfully managed to explore new musical territory and expand their sonic parameters on Squadrophenia. Displays of upbeat, funky outbursts give way to dark, hypnotic grooves, spastic madness meets ethereal beauty, and African tribal flavors intersect with melodic flurries to complete a perfectly balanced mosaic of shadow and light. Cosmosquad are that rare three-pronged constellation of stellar musicianship, unique songwriting and forward thinking attitude that allows for great musical things to happen. Squadrophenia is bound to establish the Jeff Kollman / Barry Sparks / Shane Gaalaas alliance as one of the frontrunners of the New Millennium hard fusion movement for years to come.

Brown recluse spiders are between 1 and 1 1/2 inches (2.5 to 3.5 centimeters) long. They have a dark brown, violin-shaped mark on their upper body and light brown legs. Their lower body may be dark brown, tan, yellow, or greenish. They also have 3 pairs of eyes, instead of the usual 4 pairs other spiders have. The bite of a brown recluse spider is poisonous.
This article is for information only. DO NOT use it to treat or manage a brown recluse spider bite. If you or someone you are with is bitten, call your local emergency number (such as 911), or your local poison center can be reached directly by calling the national toll-free Poison Help hotline (1-800-222-1222) from anywhere in the United States.
Loxosceles reclusa
The venom of the brown recluse spider contains poisonous chemicals that make people sick.
The brown recluse spider is most common in the south and central states of the United States, especially in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, eastern Texas, and Oklahoma. However, they have been found in several large cities outside these areas.
The brown recluse spider prefers dark, sheltered areas such as under porches and in woodpiles.
When the spider bites you, you may feel a sharp sting or nothing at all. Pain usually develops within the first several hours after being bitten, and may become severe. Children may have more serious reactions.
Symptoms may include:
Rarely, these symptoms may occur:
Seek emergency medical treatment right away. Call 911 or the local emergency number, or poison control.
Wash the area with soap and water. Wrap ice in a clean cloth and place it on the bite area. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process. If the person has blood flow problems, decrease the time that the ice is on the area to prevent possible skin damage.
Have this information ready:
Take the person to the emergency room for treatment. The bite may not look serious, but it can take some time to become severe. Treatment is important to reduce complications. If possible, place the spider in a secure container and bring it to the emergency room for identification.
Your local poison center can be reached directly by calling the national toll-free Poison Help hotline (1-800-222-1222) from anywhere in the United States. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning, including insect bites. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the spider to the hospital with you, if possible. Make sure it is in a secure container.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the person's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated. Because brown recluse spider bites can be painful, pain medicines may be given. Antibiotics may also be prescribed if the wound is infected.
If the wound is near a joint (such as a knee or elbow), the arm or leg may be placed into a brace or sling. If possible, the arm or leg will be elevated.
In more serious reactions the person may receive:
The brown recluse spider bite can leave a large sore in the skin and ugly scarring. The person may need surgery weeks later to improve the appearance of the scar.
With proper medical attention, survival past 48 hours is usually a sign that recovery will follow. An ulcer may take up to 6 weeks to heal, with proper care. Death from brown recluse spider bites is more common in children than adults.
Wear protective clothing when traveling through areas where these spiders live. DO NOT stick your hands or feet in their nests or in their preferred hiding places, such as dark, sheltered areas under logs or underbrush, or other damp, moist areas.

Skip to comments.Cruise.com: Bait & Switch
Posted on 03/03/2012 2:02:06 PM PST by DBCJR
BAIT & SWITCH - Booked 7 day Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean on Cruise.com for $1,108 for 4 passengers. I clicked the "Agree & Book" after entering all our personal info, including passports. Got a call saying they sold out and wanted to sell me 2 cabins for over $1,300 each, $2600. They told me they cruise line must have just sold out so I kept them on the phone and booked it again at the same rate, same results. Tells me it's computer glitch they've been dealing with all morning.
The only time you can get a price like that on a RCL ship, is on the Tuesday specials a week before sailing. I know nothing about cruise.com, I use a travel agent for all my booking about year in advance, so I can get the stateroom I want.
Cruises generally charge a $100 a night for inside rooms per person.
We have generally done much better than that. What is bothersome about what happened today is that we did this over & over again and got the same results, "Oh, they just sold out!" and then giving us the more than double rate. Then they would try to tell us that was the rate for 1 cabin for 2 people when clearly it stated cruise fare for 4. If it "just sold out" why do they keep showing this rate?
>>>>" B-A-I-T & switch" <<<
Never....never buy BAIT from a cruise line. Go to a place like I go to: "Bubba's Lingerie and Live Bait Boutique".

"The invitation was perfect for the simplicity of what I was looking for. My son and daughter-in-law are very non-traditional and wanted the shower to be about bringing all of their friends and family together for the celebration of their new family. Customer service was perfect !!! The hall changed the date so I had to have them reprinted and Tinyprints where absolutely wonderful with getting me the new invites and correcting the date and time over the telephone asap. They are EXCELLENT !!!"
"I made the font size a little larger for the details on the right, and did not think it was hard to read the print at all! Other comments might have been made before white was offered as a font color? (you can choose white or a beige.. The white stands out more.) loved how it looks on paper."
"I am 100% happy with my purchase. The quality of the product is very nice, the cards aren't flimsy or seem like they will tear easily. The overall appearance of the cards very cute and the colors stand out nicely too. So happy I found this website and used it. Thanks tinyprints!!"
"Loved the card but would have liked a little more flexibility with design font such as being able to choose same font as "baby" for the "mother to be" name. Other than that, was extremely pleased."
"This invitation is a beautiful gender neutral card. I especially loved that the back of the invitation was not plain but had a polka dot print. The chocolate and green are a sweet combination. It is just graphic enough without screaming cutesy baby, which I know appeals to some of the older Moms-to-be. I do suggest keeping an eye on the font size if you are sending these to an older crowd... the print can be a tiny. Having the darker font color really helps. Definitely order the modified rectangular envelopes!!! You can't go wrong with this design, it is beautiful!"

text: New to the forum and bought an 05 CTS in June has 67,000mi. I am having a problem and not exactly sure whats going on. First started while driving down the highway felt like engine was losing power and would jerk about 3 times. Now car is doing this more frequently. I have kept my hand on the shifter and will not move nor can I feel shifter jerk when it happens. I now notice a clicking noise when you accelerate just after you let of the gas and will shift into the next gear. When watching the RPMs they do not move up or down when clicking or jerking happen. About as good as I can describe it. Does anyone know what might be going wrong and how much Im looking at to get it fixed? Thanks

PVC pipe leak
Hello, This is my first post so be gentle. One of the fittings on the washer drain outlet to the main outlet is leaking and loose. Can I just pull it apart and prime/re glue it? Thanks
Howdy JohnJak.
If the plumbing is PVC, that's strange that it is loose. Do you think that someone forgot to glue it? If you're able to take it loose and determine that it isn't broken somehow, and it it will go back in cleanly, there's no reason you can't re-glue it.
Use primer and then glue, just like you said.
Thanks for the comeback. I am now going down in the crawl space to fix it. I might be able to pull it back bout an inch or so to make a glue job. It's at a very awkward spot to work(no room) at the fitting. I really don't want to rip the entire junction area apart(big job).

text: The safest method for me, but the most in work is this method. We remove a food frame and frames of emerging brood....no larva or eggs preferably. We make the nuc sit beside the mother colony for a day to encourage the adult bees to go back to the mother colony, leaving the nuc with mostly baby bees.

Jack-o'-Lantern Parade
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays ever. I loved it as a kid. I love it more as an parent.
Last year, I did some gag coloring pages inspired by vintage-styled die-cut Halloween decorations. I was going to draw some new pages this year, but my daughter wasn't that inspired to color any of them (she's 5 and hasn't been introduced to Cthulhu…yet). She asked that, instead, I draw some Jack-o'-Lanterns for her to color. With superstorm Sandy blasting away outside, how could I say no?
As I drew each one, I realized this little gal is smart (like her mama). I like her thinking.
So, for you teachers, librarians, parents and Crafty McCraftykins. I present some FREE downloadable Halloween coloring pages. They are kid tested and kid approved. Just click'em. print'em and color'em.
Trick or treat!

Recently, a guest asked me about my thoughts on riesling and whether is it just for the sweet wine drinker.
Contrary to popular belief, riesling is not always sweet. This was something that surprised Jay Perry as well, during the "dinner with the somm"wine experience. Actually, it was one of the wines that I paired with my first course. For my first course, I chose the sautéed veal sweetbreads that are accompanied by saffron grits, an apple-fennel salad and Tabasco butter. If you are not familiar with veal sweetbreads, they are prepared from the thymus gland. Sweetbreads are very delicate, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Neither Jay nor I had tried sweetbreads before, so it was an experience for both of us. These particular sweetbreads were spicy because of the Tabasco butter. When pairing wine with this course, I had to keep in mind a few things. One, the wine could not be spicy in itself, or it would make the dish spicier. For example, malbec would be a poor choice because it tends to be a spicier wine. Two, a sweeter wine will actually tone down the spiciness of the dish by cleansing your palate.
After considering all of these qualities, I decided that riesling would be the best pairing. Riesling is one of the most versatile grape varieties and is wonderful with food pairing. There are many different interpretations of riesling. Some rieslings are bone-dry, and others can be very sweet. It all depends on what part of the world the riesling is produced. The most common rieslings are produced in Germany, Alsace-France, Austria, Australia, California, and Finger Lakes-New York. There are many other parts of the world that make great riesling; however, these are the most well-known.
German rieslings are typically lower in alcohol and have great acidity, which is best for food pairing. Also, they are labeled based on the level of sweetness. The driest German riesling will be labeled "kabinett," literally "cabinet." Then it progresses to "spätlese" (semi-sweet) and "auslese" (sweet). Finally, you have your sweet dessert wines, which are classified as "beerenauslese," "eiswein" and "trockenbeerenauslese." Also, another term that is used is "trocken," which means "dry" in German. I chose to pair a spätlese riesling with the veal sweetbreads. This spätlese riesling was off-dry, which was magnificent at pairing with spicy heat. There is just enough sweetness to diminish the heat.
I encourage you to explore riesling this week. In addition, try this type of pairing, and you will be surprised at how well it works together. It is a myth that riesling is only for someone who wants a sweet wine. There are various types of riesling that can satisfy all palates. You just have to know what kind to buy.
These are some of my favorite German rieslings that I highly recommend.

Site: Iowa City, Iowa (Campus Recreation and Wellness Center)
Event: Hawkeye Invitational (Day 1 of 3)
U-M Team Standing: 1st of 8 Teams (237.5) After Day 1
Next U-M Event: Saturday, Dec. 1 -- at Hawkeye Invitational - Day 2 (Iowa City, Iowa), 10 a.m./6 p.m. CST
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The No. 22-ranked University of Michigan women's swimming and diving team received wins from freshman Marni Oldershaw (Oakville, Ontario/Iroquois Ridge) in the 200-yard individual medley and the 400-yard medley relay team on the first day of the Hawkeye Invitational on Friday (Nov. 30) at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center. The Wolverines lead the eight-team meet with 237.5 points. Nebraska and Iowa are both tied for second at 171 points.
Oldershaw gave Michigan its only individual event win of the evening, taking first with an NCAA 'B' time in the 200-yard individual medley (1:58.25). It is the first win of her collegiate career. The Wolverines closed out the meet with a win in the 400-yard medley relay. The quartet of freshman Ali DeLoof (Grosse Pointe, Mich./Grosse Pointe South), junior Angela Chokran (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North), senior Ashley Cohagen (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) and freshman Zoe Mattingly (Zionsville, Ind./Zionsville) won the race by nearly three seconds (3:39.24).
Junior Courtney Beidler (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock South) and senior Val Barthelemy (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) joined Oldershaw as top finishers in the 200-yard individual medley, taking third (2:01.18; NCAA 'B' time) and fourth (2:01.96), respectively.
The Wolverines started the evening's finals session off fast, taking second in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The quartet of Cohagen, Deirdre Jones (Nashville, Tenn./University School of Nashville), Mattingly and DeLoof touched the wall at 1:31.79, second to Nebraska. Michigan was third after the second turn, but a fast split in the third leg by Mattingly (22.58) ended up being the difference, propelling the team into second place.
Michigan had a good showing in the 500-yard freestyle, with four swimmers earning points in the 'A' final, led by senior Adrienne Bicek (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North), who took second with an NCAA 'B' time of 4:43.28. Freshman Jessica Wolf (Waukesha, Wis./Muskego) took fifth (4:51.60), sophomore Michelle Stefandl (Princeton, N.J./Stuart Country Day School) was seventh (4:52.26), and senior Kally Fayhee (North Aurora, Ill./Rosary) rounded out in eighth (4:56.62).
Michigan had two other 'A' finalists on Friday. Junior diver Erin Bridgewater (Kawkawlin, Mich./Bay City Western) took sixth off the one-meter board (262.00), while Mattingly finished eighth in the 50-yard freestyle (23.34).

Adrienne Bicek finished second in the 500-yard freestyle by just .08 seconds (4:43:28). Iowa's Becky Stoughton won the race (4:43.20).
Marni Oldershaw's previous season best in the 200-yard individual medley was 2:06.49. She went 1:58.25 on Friday.

Michigan Head Swimming Coach Mike Bottom
On the women's performance on day one ... "It was a real strong start. It's exciting to see them swim some of their best times. This is a team that finished eighth at Big Tens last year. Look at them today. Even though we have some of the same people, they're getting better and improving every day, and that growth is exciting to see."
On Marni Oldershaw ... "To go 1:58.00 in the 200-yard IM at this point in the season, especially for a freshman, is very good. It's a respectable time anywhere in the country. She was injured earlier this year and wasn't able to train the way we wanted her to. Once she got back to training, you could see how special of a swimmer she is. She's getting there. By the end of the year, she's going to be pretty fast. The hope is to be able to take her to NCAAs, and I think she can do that."
On Adrienne Bicek ... "She fought so hard and came so close to winning. She was upset when she lost, but I think it was a valuable learning experience. We want them to understand the value of getting your hand on that wall first. Finishes like that will happen. As long as they continue to put a value on winning, they will get better, and that's what we're seeing. We're far from being one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but we are moving in the right direction at a very quick pace."
On the sprint group and how critical they are to the relays ... "We needed to get some people in our sprint group. We just started it a month-and-a-half ago. Our speed wasn't there, and if you looked at what we did at the beginning of the season, we needed to improve, so we put a couple people in the sprint group. They changed their training understanding that we needed faster swimmers. Both our relays showed that we have that now. We're now at a point where we can compete with the best teams in our conference. We've got really strong potential for the future, and that's what we're looking at."

Sustainability is now becoming a topic found on every Main Street in America. What some once thought of as elitism is now entering the realm of the building code.
I found proof of this last week when I previewed a news release we posted on our Web site. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) says that since 2003, the number of counties with green building programs has risen from eight to 39, a 487% increase.
AIA determined this by surveying the eco-friendly initiatives of the 200 most populous counties in 2008, representing 169 million Americans, or a little more than half of the country. Working in conjunction with the National Association of Counties, the AIA surveyors spoke to planners, building officials, and sustainability managers across the country, resulting in a total response rate of 88%.
"Green building policy is an important part of this process, and it is heartening to see all of the effort being put forth by local leaders," said Paul Mendelsohn, AIA's vice president, government and community relations. "The experiences of these counties make it increasingly clear that investment in high-performance building programs is an efficient and popular use of taxpayer dollars."
Key findings include:
- Thirty-nine counties have a green building program, or at least 19.5% of all sample counties
- At least 43 million people, or 26% of the sample population, live in counties with green building programs.
- An additional nine counties indicated that they are in a more advanced stage of developing green building programs, indicating a future of increased green activity.
The acceptance of concrete's role in sustainability may provide a key tool in how to grow the market in the next 18 months. So in a few weeks, we'll be doing our part to help convince you to join the green effort. Soon you'll be receiving the first of what we hope will be come an annual special issue featuring our GreenSite award program. You can preview our results by visiting our Web site.
Like our city's leaders, I hope you will accept this growth in green building. I hope we receive many more entries next year.

Identity Finder
The University Information Security Office (UISO) uses Identity Finder, a sensitive data managing solution, to scan for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) every six months. Each department nominates an individual to serve as a Data Steward. The Data Steward serves as the departmental contact for communication from the UISO and is responsible for managing the computers in their respective departments. Training is required for new Data Stewards and when there are major changes to the program. Click here for a current list of Data Stewards.
In 2013, the UISO upgraded the Identity Finder application to allow scan scheduling. This reduces the amount of work required by each Data Steward and allows centralized management for the UISO. If a computer has the University standard image, Identity Finder is already installed and configured. However, if the computer was not imaged by ITS, the Identity Finder application may not be installed on the machine.
If you have any questions about the Identity Finder application or the PII program, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The following sections cover various topics related to Identity Finder. Please click the title to see details.
The Loyola Image Software on your machine should already have the Identity Finder program installed. If it is missing from your machine, this page provides the required links to get the right files for your machine.
This section includes an explanation of how and when Identity Finder will help you secure your personal information on your machine and how to run a manual scan at your own convenience.

item into multiple items partitioned by common functionality within the original item.
Of course, there are also times where the Product Backlog item is too small and does not do enough on its own to create value for the product. In that case there is the following rule of thumb...
Each Product Backlog item should have at least 3 acceptance criteria
Having Product Backlog items that are too small is not always a bad thing but it could be difficult to manage and provide visibility into. I have found it also leads to Product Backlog items that are technical in nature without direct business benefit. The Product Owner could find it difficult to gauge the correct priority for an item that is too technical so...
Every Product Backlog item should present value that a Product Owner can understand and prioritize effectively
Abuse Stories can be used to drive out the value to users for technical infrastructure or architecture Product Backlog items. An Abuse Story identifies the cost of not addressing a technical aspect of the product. For instance, in the case of fraud, an Abuse Story such as the following could be identified as a Product Backlog item:
As a Malicious Hacker I want to gain access to credit card information so that I can make fraudulent charges
The acceptance criteria for this Product Backlog item would be the technical modifications that will be made to stop the Malicious Hacker from gaining access to credit card information. The risk identified in this Product Backlog item helps the Product Owner better prioritize beside other potential candidates for upcoming Sprints.
The entire Product Backlog should be prioritized in stack rank order
The development team that is going to implement the product should estimate all Product Backlog items
These are the basics for Product Backlog management but I thought I should reiterate them. I often find that the Product Owner does not take time to prioritize their entire Product Backlog. If kept to a manageable size, the Product Backlog provides visibility to stakeholders, management, and the development team about what is coming in the near future. It is difficult to prioritize if the Product Owner does not have a cost to weigh against the benefit for each Product Backlog item.
The team who is actually going to implement items off the Product Backlog should be the only people who estimate the items. No individual outside the group should tell the team what the estimates are. After the Product Backlog is fully estimated, the Product Owner should...
Generate a release burndown chart to monitor progress toward a release of the product.
Once you know how much the team can deliver each Sprint (velocity), you can do some ad-hoc release planning by going through your estimated Product Backlog and finding out how far they will be after n number of Sprints. This ad-hoc plan can be monitored on a release burndown chart to see if any changes must be made based on the reality of current implementation or emergent requirements.
This listing of Product Backlog rules of thumb is just a start. I have found it helpful to go through this list with new Product Owners or Product Owners finding it difficult to manage their Product Backlog. As a Product Owner becomes more proficient in their Product Backlog management technique then they can step away from some of these rules of thumb to optimize for their environment.

: My Plan for Marley Twists!!!!
I'm getting long marley twists for the first time this weekend, and I want to share the details on the path I want to take. Please tell me if I'm making any wrong turns.
Two days before I get the twists, I'm getting my hair washed, blown out, and plaited. If I can't go to my stylist's shop, then I'm going to wash, blow dry, flat iron and then plait my hair. Don't know if I should oil my scalp then because I heard that it makes the twists slip out so correct me if I'm wrong.
For the twists, I'm using Freetress Equal Marley Braid hair. Heard some good things about it.
After I get the twists, of course they will be tied down at night to prevent frizz. I'm only going to wash my twists once a month for that same reason. When the itching starts, I plan to use a formula I found online that I like to call the Itch Slap. In it, I'll have:
10 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil
25 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil
5 drops of Lavender Essential Oil
1 Tbsp of Castor Oil
5 Tbsp of Olive Oil
3 oz Distilled Aloe Vera
When I had my senegalese twists last year, my scalp itched something serious so my plan is to spray it at least once every two days for 2 weeks, once a day if the itching is too severe. After that, I'll spray my scalp only once a week. I'm keeping the twists in for about 3-4 months.
So there it is. Let me know what y'all think. The source for the Itch Slap is:
Itchy Scalp Remedy | Natural Hair, Art & Healthy Living Blog
Hair type: 4b/4c
Last perm: February 2011
Big Chop: October 2011
Reason for Transition: 1. perm chemicals are my hair's arch nemesis 2. desire to restore health and growth

There is one consistent complaint from Republicans as to why there are problems in the United States of America–a black dude from Africa who wormed his way into the presidency.
1. High national debt. It was $5 billion when George Bush became president in 2001 and when he left it was $11 Trillion. Why? The black man, of course.
2.The unemployment rate was about 5% when George became president and it was 10% when the black man arrived.
3. There is a scandal in the IRS under the administration of Barack Obama. Of course, the head of the IRS was appointed by George Bush, what the heck, blame it on the black man.
4. Rich people were making out like bandits but who came along to punish these hard working folk-the Black Dude!
Senator Ted Cruz says failure to pass a "common sense immigration bill" is the fault of Barack Obama. If one passes, he will take credit and how can Republicans agree with anything desired by the black man??

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the days become very difficult for those who have lost loved ones. Join us for "Surviving the Holidays" Saturday morning, November 4 in the Chapel from 10:00 – 12:00 noon.
The holidays are always tough when our loved ones are no longer with us. I want to invite you to participate in our annual memorial service on Tuesday, December 5, 2017. It will be at 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel of First Baptist Church Arlington for those who have been a part of the GriefShare program and anyone who has experienced loss in their lives.
During this memorial service we will be decorating Christmas trees that will commemorate your loved one. We are asking that you bring an ornament in memory of him or her to place on a tree during the service. The trees will remain decorated and moved to our welcome center so others may enjoy them throughout the Christmas season. You may pick up your ornament after January 1, 2017.
Our pastor, Dr. Dennis Wiles, will share a wonderful message that will challenge and encourage you.
We hope that this special service will help you to cope with the holiday season and find hope in the Christ-child that was born that day. We look forward to seeing you!

Greater transparency about the scientific process and a closer focus on correcting defective data are the way forward, says Jim Woodgett.
There is increasing unrest in global science. The number of retractions is rising, new examples of poor oversight or practice are being uncovered and anxiety is building among researchers. Those of us who work in the life sciences are discovering that some of our basic premises are flawed or inaccurate — cell lines have been misidentified and drug metabolism in animal models misjudged. Even high-profile findings have been questioned. Building on solid foundations was an architectural principle understood by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, yet we may be constructing our castles on swampland. Is it a surprise that clinical translation fails so often?

Womens Jean Leggings
Jean leggings are designed to flatter, creating a smooth line and a leg-lengthening effect, not to mention what their snug fit can do for curves. The result is a stretch-on silhouette that's way hot and not going anywhere. This precision fit is available in a range of destruction and denim washes. Add a little color to your look with a pair of cold dye jean leggings, a sophisticated technique that results in a dramatic, no-two-alike finish. The denim legging pairs perfectly with all of our most popular tops, like the Portofino shirt. With a London sweater and boots these are practically the picture of fall. However you style it, jegging's second-skin style in our premium denim is a new classic.

Washington Post Profiles David Rubenstein '73
From the Post:
Long before David M. Rubenstein became a billionaire, before he began donating millions to the National Zoo and millions more to help repair the Washington Monument, he was just a kid looking for a way out of his blue-collar neighborhood in Baltimore.
"I realized that if you're going to get somewhere in life, you've got to be able to communicate what you want," said Rubenstein, 62. "So I tried very hard to learn how to be a speaker, how to write and talk intelligently, and also read a lot to learn as much about the world as possible."
Rubenstein went on to co-found the Carlyle Group, a global asset-management firm based in Washington. Since then, far more attention has been paid to how much money he makes and how much he gives away than on how he developed the drive and talent to succeed.
So, as the nation's political leaders wrangle over ways to create more economic opportunity, here's how one man went about creating his own. Education is the key. For even if the country does become a place where "everybody gets a fair shot," as President Obama likes to say, it won't amount to much if you don't know how to shoot.

New fuel for power tools
Who would buy this?
Why would I wanta add another fuel, that I'd haveta carry,..??
This sounds like it might be a good solution. I bet it would be better for occasional use than a gas one does.
I've been thinking about going propane for a while now. Propane is nice because it burns cleaner than gasoline, meaning your oil, spark plugs, etc stay kosher longer. It also stores really well; unlike gasoline/diesel, which needs some sort of additive like sta-bil or pri-g added to it every year. These days, you can find a propane generator, mower, refrigerator, air-conditioner, heater, etc. When the power goes out, you're covered. The only thing that's keeping me away from propane is the price.
I don't know why most things arn't propane these days. It's a much cleaner gas (still not super clean, but cleaner) and not to mention is way cheaper. It's also not prone to spills which is ideal for yard work.
Are those little canisters refillable? If you need to buy them and then throw them out, I can see that being a problem. You might not be contributing as bad to greenhouse gases, but it is increasing contribution to landfil waste.
I guess the only question is how does one know when those camp cylinders are full.
The nicest thing is if you put trimmer in a vehicle you don't have to worry about gas spills.
They came out with augers for ice fishermen that use propane. The dealers could not keep them on the shelf. One dealer sold 40 of them in two days. Ice fishermen have been using gas augers for years this was a better idea whose time had come. They are much quieter and if the exhaust doesn't stink up your clothes like gasoline.
And, coming soon to a lawnmower near you. As others state, there a lots of advantages to using propane over gasoline.

text: Have been meaning to ask: ever since I picked up my 2008 Lux 3 a few months ago, I noticed that neither fog lamp turns on. The switch (push in) activates the icon on the dash, but no joy with the actual fogs. I can't even tell if there are bulbs behind the bezels, which are not cracked or have any apparent damage. My question is, do I actually HAVE fog lamp bulbs in there? is there a dedicated fuse for them that can be out? (Everything else is working, including the cornering lamps). Perhaps a wiring issue? My previous Deville DTS had fog lights that were straight forward and independent of the headlights. Any thoughts are appreciated.
