Their selections mark the third and fourth times a Bulldog skater have been recognized by the league office to date this campaign. Ferris State junior forward Andy Huff picked up the CCHA Postgame® Offensive Player of the Week honor from the CCHA following FSU's series versus Mercyhurst (Oct. 19-20) earlier this year while senior Kyle Bonis claimed the same distinction after the Bulldogs' sweep against Bowling Green State (Nov. 16-17).

Elvis Presley made the holiday season anything but blue when he crooned "Blue Christmas." And, speaking of blue, Frank "Old Blue Eyes" Sinatra would have turned 92 on Dec. 12 (1915 _ "It Was A Very Good Year").
Do you have "High Hopes" that "The Best Is Yet To Come," even though Frank went to that recording studio in the sky in 1998? Count on Hayward's Douglas Morrisson Theatre to go "All The Way" with resurrecting 50 of Frank's greatest hits.
"My Way," a tribute to Sinatra, will be presented at the North Third Street theater from Feb. 15 to March 16, with singers and a swinging band.
Don't be "Strangers In The Night"! Check out www.dmtonline.org.
And, while you're at it, you don't need "Witchcraft" to share your favorite Sinatra song with other readers of this blog.

text: Coffey was Todd-awful once again. He comes in with a man on and immediately gives up a bomb. He puts two more runners on via a walk and a hit batsman before being mercifully yanked. Turnabout was fair play as Gosling gives up a blast to the first batter he faces, which allowed the two runners he inherited from Todd to score. What has happened to Todd Coffey? One option is that he is sent to Louisville to work out whatever problems he has down in AAA. IMO, a better option is the let him take the rest of the year off. He has to be shell-shocked. The Reds should just tell him to go home for the rest of the season and forget about 2007.

In this state of effeminacy the fibers of the brain are relaxed in common with the rest of the body, and to such a happy degree that pleasure has no show of enticement and pain no unbearable frown.

Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid will contest an all-Spanish Europa League final after contrasting semi-final victories on Thursday.
Bilbao beat Sporting Lisbon 3-1 at the San Mames to overturn a first-leg deficit and progress 4-3 on aggregate.
The Portuguese side had claimed a 2-1 victory in Lisbon a week ago, but goals from Markel Susaeta, Ibai Gomez and Fernando Llorente were enough to see Marcelo Bielsa's team progess, despite a Ricky Van Wolfswinkel goal.
Bielsa's side were applying heavy pressure and the breakthrough came on 17 minutes when Susaeta volleyed home from an Iker Muniain cross.
Sporting set out in pursuit of an equaliser and found it one minute before half-time. A corner created confusion in the Bilbao box and Van Wolfswinkel capitalised by sending a left-footed volley into the bottom corner.
But the visitors let down their guard from the restart, and Llorent held up the ball before playing in Gomez, who beat goalkeeper Rui Patricio to ensure the tie was level at 3-3 on aggregate at the break.
Both sides had chances to go ahead in the second half, but the Portuguese resistance was finally broken with just two minutes remaining.
Gomez sent a low ball across the face of goal, and Llorente stuck out a leg to prod the ball into the net, via the post, to send Bilbao into their first European final since 1977.
Atletico Madrid earned their place in the tournament showpiece in Bucharest with a 1-0 win over Valencia in a heated clash at the Mestalla.
Atletico were kept under severe pressure by Valencia for the best part of an hour, but a fantastic goal from Adrian was enough to see them through, even after Tiago's dismissal with 11 minutes remaining.
Goals were definitely on the agenda for Valencia who, with a 4-2 deficit to overturn from the first-leg in the capital, set out their stall to attack right from the start.
But despite putting Atletico under relentless pressure, they could not break through, and the visitors hit back on the counterattack to devastating effect.
Diego clipped a perfectly-weighted ball over the top of the defence towards Adrian, who took it onto his chest before ripping an unstoppable half-volley past Alves for his 10th goal in the tournament.
Tempers flared with 10 minutes to go, as confusion following an apparent handball in the area saw both sets of players square up to each other.
Simeone even rushed off the bench to calm the ruckus, which ended when Tiago was shown his marching orders by the referee after slapping Roberto Soldado.
Valencia made no further inroads despite the numerical advantage, with Atletico on course for their second Europa League title in three years.

Cinnamon 1.6 Brings New Features and Applets 74
An anonymous reader wrote in with news that the GNOME Shell fork, Cinnamon, released version 1.6 yesterday. The release features persistent (and nameable) workspaces, a window list applet, greatly improved notifications (they're collected in one place), improved task switchers and audio control, workspace flipping while dragging windows, and integration with their fork of Nautilus. See the release announcement for more and lots of screenshots (detailed source changelog). From the looks of it, this release is closer than ever to merging the modern Gtk3/GNOME stack with the missing functionality from previous windowing environments.

Illness has caused delay
Due to being ill I have not been able to post recently. After a trip to the hospital, I am now feeling better. I, however, have not yet been able to return home, so I do not have my research with me. I am hopeful that I will be able to have someone to bring it to me this week. I have enjoyed writing this blog and will get back to it as soon as possible. I appreciate your patience in waiting for me to get back to my regular schedule.

Thanks for that, yeah i think i'll start with 2s, getting used to lipo's usage and in the meantime get the truck a bit stronger. Will do bearing adapter with my next order, and i'm wondering about motor mount? Do you need to do both or can you just install part no 6893x with existing motor mount? I'd kind of like to do motor mount but can't find Kingz Head one for sale in UK... what are you running?
Also, do you know where to order different pinions? Cheers mate!
I wouldn't bother with the motor mount. Especially on 2s. I just have the bearing adapter fitted and no issue so far. I order most parts from Model Sport or Wheelspin Models. MS has better postage fees. I also buy a fair bit from the US or China. It's all good just take a little longer to arrive.

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Eddie Lack turned aside 22-of-23 shots to help lift the Vancouver Canucks to a much-needed win, a 2-1 decision over the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena.
Yannick Weber's goal five minutes into the third period was the difference in only Vancouver's second victory since Jan. 26. The spiraling Canucks entered the matchup -- the first between the clubs since a Jan. 18 clash marred by all-out brawl right after the opening faceoff that led to eight ejections -- having gone 1-10-1 in their last 12 games.
Darren Archibald got Vancouver on the board with 5:45 left in the second period with his first career NHL goal.
'It was a grind for both teams," said Canucks head coach John Tortorella. "We're just looking for points."
Brian McGrattan scored for Calgary and Joni Ortio came up with 12 saves in the loss, the Flames' sixth in a row to the Canucks.
"(I) just wanted to throw one on net," said McGrattan. "I was at the end of my shift, and fortunately it went in."
Lack let a near 100-foot drive by McGrattan from near center ice go through his pads 2:13 into the second period, but was otherwise flawless and the Canucks picked him up just over three minutes later.
Archibald's breakthrough goal, a wraparound try at the 5;45 mark that followed a faceoff win in the Calgary zone, knotted the contest at 1-1. Weber then sent the Canucks ahead early in the third, poking a rebound into an open left side after Ortio stopped a charging Shawn Matthias on a rush down the ice.
The Flames had a pair of power-play chances in the final five minutes, both on penalties taken by Vancouver's Chris Higgins, but couldn't capitalize on either opportunity.
Calgary finished 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
Saturday's game was considerably less contentious than the teams' previous encounter, with the clubs mustering a mere five shots combined during an opening period that did contain one fight -- a skirmish between Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa and Calgary captain Mark Giordano.
Game Notes
Flames defenseman Jordan Wotherspoon recorded his first career NHL assist on McGrattan's goal. The rookie was playing in only his second NHL game, while Archibald was skating in his 14th ... Canucks wing Zack Kassian began serving a three-game suspension handed down for an illegal check in Thursday's loss in Dallas ... Forward Jiri Hudler and defenseman Dennis Wideman sat out their second straight games for Calgary with upper-body injuries ... Vancouver is now 19-3-3 against the Flames since December of 2009.

The largely peaceful revolution in Cairo and Americans' celebration of it raises the question:
What would it take to mount a peaceful revolution in America against the Wall Street and corporate powerhouses that have turned the government against the best interests of our people?
In America, the corporation is king and the abuses of corporate power are the subject of our people's greatest grievances.
The 2008 election was supposed to settle the score with Wall Street and the corporate elite that have ransomed, ransacked and run over the average American. The change never came, and it's even less likely in 2012.
At Consumer Watchdog we build populist revolutions one spark at a time where the public has spoken but the rich and powerful won't listen. While our work cannot compare to the heroism of the Egyptian people, we are inspired by their example.
The revolution in Cairo showed the power of online platforms like Twitter and Facebook to authentically air outrage and connect change makers. In Washington, DC, Consumer Watchdog is fighting to protect individuals' freedom online, which is being threatened in the name of greater profit, by some of the very corporate innovators that created these platforms.
On Friday, the "Do Not Track Me Online" revolution began with the introduction of legislation by Congressional Rep. Jackie Speier (HR 654) to force corporations to respect our right to keep personal information and online habits private. You can weigh in with your Congressional Representative to pass the legislation here.
Our freedom to be revolutionaries in America depends on how well we can maintain the online commons as free, open, and in the service of the individual, and our privacy needs, rather than the corporation and its commercial needs. This is an American battlefield that begins with online privacy, the right not to tracked online, extends to net neutrality and evolves to the greater notion that online technology should be in the service of individuals not corporate robots (in spirit of the teaching of Jaron Lanier's You Are Not A Gadget.
If there is a nonpartisan street revolt brewing in America today it is against the staggering health insurance premium increases that insurance companies are foisting on Americans. I was in the streets against Blue Shield's 59% rate hike two weeks ago with angry patients and the California Nurses Association. Blue Shield actually agreed to delay the hike when we showed up.
Consistent premium hikes and the pending mandatory health insurance law to take effect in 2014 are bound to continue a growing rebellion.
Health insurance companies like Blue Shield and Anthem Blue Cross thumb their noses at our democracy daily. They hijacked health reform to give themselves a guaranteed market, even as they fight daily to erode the consumer protections in the new federal law. Consumer Watchdog is working with regulators to force the health insurance companies to live by the new rules and with California legislators for "Do Not Gouge Me" legislation -- giving government the right to stop unnecessary premium hikes. (You can weigh in for AB 52, if you have not already, here. )
Ultimately, the 24 states with ballot initiative processes will be a vehicle to get the people what Congress will not deliver - a public insurance alternative to the private market. Consumer Watchdog is already drafting such a ballot measure for California.
What happens after a revolt is as important as the uprising itself. Insurance companies like Mercury Insurance, Allstate and Farmers have been fighting for two decades against the ballot box revolution of insurance reform Proposition 103. Consumer Watchdog's lawyers fight back daily to protect and further that voter revolt, which has saved motorists $62 billion on their auto insurance, and to show that even the biggest and most powerful companies have to respect the people's will.
Revolutions in America today take place in the corporate suites, not the streets. CEOs are generally the ones deposed, not presidents, which is the first clue to who really holds the power in our nation... But if a governmental revolution were to come, how would it unfold?
Bob Herbert in his New York Times column Saturday artfully makes the case of the price we have paid for the sins of Wall Street and self-serving interest of those at the very top of the economy. America will never be the same, nor will our schools, parks, colleges, social programs and deficit, without a major re-rewrite of how our government works to divorce it from the state of corporate capture that is its numbing existence.
Elections are not tools of revolutions in America anymore. What will it take to get Americans in the streets?
Higher prices for everything coming with growing inflation, higher unemployment, no jobs for our youth, the closing down of public services and public assistance?
The powerful in America have too much to lose and usually buckle when they smell the whiff of a revolution. That's why it's worth putting that smell in the air and in the streets again when the moment calls for it.
Dramatic changes in ideas and practices are the results of long, hard marches toward freedom and accountability. We need to start marching together in America again.

the torsion keys are great. These keys did keep the stock ride but made the front a tiny bit stiffer. But it's not too bad at all. Don't forget a tire alignment after.

Couldn't agree more!
The "character" (our true nature) we bring into client relationships is the heart of who we really are as change practitioners. It is this essence of our uniqueness, not what is in our bag of intervention tricks, which ultimately determines whether we generate meaningful benefits for clients. However, our interior character needs a voice in order to be expressed to the exterior world; the "presence" we convey is that voice. Even though presence is what we use to interface with clients, the path to optimizing our effectiveness is through evolving our character.
(From the article): Many people mistakenly think they can develop character in the same way they might attain new knowledge or better their communication skills. They think they can improve it by simply pushing themselves to greater heights.

Well done. I liked this version better - must be the pictures.
And, note to Schiano: I thought Tressel died after that cross-country dart from Tedford two years ago.
Hey TP,
Lebron here. Got some advice for you, maybe it'll help you get things together. Of course, I wouldn't really know, because man, I have never played as shitty as you did these past few games. That last drive against USC? Wow, which way did you think your team was going? :) I won't even mention Purdue. Purdue, hmm, sounds
like something you step in. And you sure stepped in it.
So here's my advice. Despite what everybody else does ...
Especially number 2. Steal from me and I will f*** you up.
Who stole from me, Dwade?" "That guy, TP." "That guy? I'm gonna f*** him up."
Definitely: don't have regret about not going to Michigan, where a coach could
have utilized your skills about 1000x better than your current one. Regrets are for losers. Or, deep thinkers. Either way, your should clearly stay away from them.
Regret Poster: Awesome
Don't throw the ball again, ever. Ever! Just run the damn thing. On a passing play,
frustrate your coaches by simply calling an audible to a QB keeper. They'll only complain if you don't score a lot of touchdowns, like you did in high school. Note: you must learn how to audible. Second note: you must learn how to run in college. Third note: when you get in trouble, just dribble out of it. It works for me.
LB: Actually, this time I dribbled into trouble... Green, lovely, trouble.
Speaking of which, don't think about high school. Remember last year, when you said it was all like high school? That was because there was a lot of talent around you. Now, it's on your shoulders. And, unlike high school, you kind of stink at QB. So try to forget all that, and stop sucking.
TP in High School: The Helmet Hides The Ears
Also, don't talk back to Tressel. In fact, don't talk to Tressel. He is OLD, and wears some kind of sweater without arms. Does he have unusually warm arms? I hope so, because he needs to give you a hug. But don't talk to him; he'll probably mumble about
the "I-formation" or some such stone-age bullshit, and where will that get you? After all, there is no "I" in "TEAM". However, there is a "TROLL" in "TeRreLLe pryOr", for what that's worth.
TP And The Gargoyle: Old Pals.
Also, be careful talking near Tressel. For example, here is an innocent conversation you might be having:
Also, one final tip: don't worry about the ears. You'll grow out of it, probably. Unfortunately, though, your head isn't getting bigger these days (that only happens when you get too successful). Thus, losing just accentuates your ears even further.
Well done. I liked this version better - must be the pictures.
And, note to Schiano: I thought Tressel died after that cross-country dart from Tedford two years ago.
TP has Jerry Stackhouse face.
No wonder he can't pass.
separated at birth:
Cheatypants is just absurd. Every time I see that picture of him reaching for the crystal football I just wish I could reach right into the screen and slap a ho.
I'm sure if you asked, he'd let you touch it.
Well, OK, he'd probably at least let you look at it. So long as you take that fugly blue shirt off.
And ask real nice like.
I wouldn't want to get that close to Tressel. I don't like the smell of moth balls.
I had never realized Pryor's gargoylish appearance before. Good catch.
This keeps getting better every time I read it, +1
That stormtrooper had me rolling. Dat's some funny shit, yo.
He belongs as OSU.
Funny CBS article on TP
"Whatever, it's clear Pryor has regressed as a sophomore to the point that LeBron James feels compelled to mentor him.
Just what the Buckeyes quarterback needs after a four-turnover game, advice on how to dribble between his legs."

For St. Viator to be an elite team, the players realize they won't always be able to play their preferred style of getting up and down the court quickly.
They're going to have to win slow, grind-it-out type games, and that's exactly what the Lions did on Saturday night at the Joe Majkowski Varsity Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament.
St. Viator used an 8-0 run at the beginning of the fourth quarter to finally shake off a pesky Conant squad and win their own tournament with a 45-36 victory.
"I told the guys that we have to be able to win games in the 40's and win games in the 80's," said St. Viator coach Mike Howland, who has won this tournament in both of his years as head coach. "It's different styles every night, and you never know what it's going to be like. You have to find a way to win."
"We have to see what the other team is giving us," said Hugh Masterson, who led the hosts with 12 points. "A slow-down team like Conant, we have to play with them. If it's in the 40's, we'll take that. But if it's an up-tempo game, we'll take that and run with it."
Conant (1-3) led 31-30 going into the fourth quarter, but Masterson, Kevin Hammarlund, Mayo Arogundade, Xavier Sanchez and Jason Timmerhaus spearheaded the 8-0 spurt that finally created separation.
Hammarlund's bank shot 20 seconds into the quarter got the run started and after baskets by Sanchez and Arogundade, Hammarlund's feed to Masterson put Viator (4-0) on top 38-31 with 6:02 left.
"As we always say before games, we have to start on the defensive end, then all of the small things click together," Masterson said.
"Viator's defense was really solid, but I thought our shot selection left a little bit to be desired in the fourth quarter," said Conant coach Tom McCormack after his team made 2 of 12 attempts in the final quarter. "We got away from what we were doing, which was getting the ball inside. But I think we'll get there."
The Cougars were able to score inside with Kevin Schimel (9 points) early on as the scored was tied 13-13 after a quarter before Viator took a 24-23 lead at halftime.
It appeared the Lions would make a charge right after intermission with Ore Arogundade knocking down his second 3-pointer of the game, but Conant sophomore Danny Sotos scored 6 of his 8 points in the quarter to keep it close.
"They're tough, disciplined and patient, and that frustrated us," Howland said. "You could see it on our faces. We got over the hump eventually, but it wasn't easy."

Athletic Jamaicans seen as main rivals in Fast5 tournament, with radical rule changes for shooting and substitution designed to excite the fans.
The Fast Ferns have been handed plenty of creative licence in this weekend's World Netball Series in Auckland. The three-day tournament, which begins today at Vector Arena, will be the first time the event has been run under the revised rules for the shortened form of the game.
Introduced in 2009, Fastnet, as it was originally known, has struggled to take off with fans in its first three years, the rules not all that much different from the traditional game. This year the format has been given a radical overhaul with the number of players in a team cut to five, and the introduction of three-point shots, rolling substitutions and powerplay quarters.
Version 2 of the game, which has been rebranded Fast5, offers plenty of scope for innovation.
After a busy international season, the Fast Ferns - featuring most of New Zealand's top talent, including Irene van Dyk, Maria Tutaia, Laura Langman and Katrina Grant - have had little time to get their head around the changes. So one of the first tasks for the side when they reassembled in camp this week was to sit down and go over the rules and have a bit of a brainstorm.
Despite feeling weary after a demanding international season, Langman said there was still plenty of enthusiasm in the camp ahead of the weekend's tournament.
She said it helped that coach Waimarama Taumaunu had encouraged the team to go out and have some fun.
"It's not a serious test series, it's a little bit light-hearted, it's a new brand of netball and we're all really excited about it," said Langman.
"We certainly have some creative characters in our team and they've come up with a few things that we'll hopefully be able to pull off."
As she has all season, Langman can expect to have a heavy workload during the tournament with only one midcourt position on court.
While the games are just 24 minutes long, the super-fit midcourter expects the matches to be demanding.
"Taking away two players does up the workload for everyone out there, and it will be a matter of how efficient and how smart a team operates," said Langman, who will once again take over the captaincy this weekend in the absence of Casey Williams.
One area Taumaunu has indicated her team will be looking at closely is the centre-pass defence. Without the wing attack and wing defence positions, it will effectively be three-on-two in favour of the defensive side for the centre pass-off.
"We envisage it will be very challenging trying to get that centre pass away," said Taumaunu.
Australian coach Lisa Alexander has indicated she plans to play midcourters at goal attack in more of a feeding role. With only one traditional goal attack in the group - Amorette Wild - Alexander said it was likely midcourters Elissa Macleod, Verity Simmons or Shae Bolton would be used at goal attack.
"They can all shoot from the three-point zones so we'll give them that licence to do so when appropriate and we know that they'll feed our shooters really well," said Alexander.
While Alexander has opted to use the tournament for development and brought a second-tier side to Auckland, Langman expects the Fast5 Diamonds will be competitive this weekend.
However, she singled out the Jamaicans as their strongest rivals for the crown.
"Looking at it I think Jamaica can be very dangerous, just due to their pure athleticism and ability to jump and sprint.
"They're very crafty, so we have to watch out for them."
The Sunshine Girls are one of the few teams in Auckland that have had a chance to trial the new rules and the more free-flowing, creative style of game is expected to favour the Jamaicans.
Captain Nadine Bryan is excited by her side's progress at training and believes the new format suits Jamaica's attributes.
"We got a chance to practise the rules back home and strategise as to what we need to do. We really do like the changes, and doing things a little differently when we've played it back home there's been a lot of stuff we've done that is really exciting."
As part of the festival feel of the tournament, competing teams have been encouraged to break from their traditional uniforms for the event - something Jamaica have keenly grasped hold of in previous years. Bryan is promising this year's looks will be eye-catching.
"One of [our] uniforms wasn't completed ... so we only have one of the new uniforms, but we've come up with something else."
The Fast5 Ferns meet Jamaica in the tournament's first match tonight.
Hotshots for the Fast5 tournament
Maria Tutaia (NZ)
The most natural shooter in the game has the potential to cause real damage. The addition of a new scoring zone inside the circle, which awards two points for shots taken from out wide, seems like it was made for Tutaia, a long-range specialist. Three points will be awarded for shots taken from outside the circle. Tutaia has been practising her three-pointers.
Anna Harrison (NZ)
The Mystics' controversial lifting manoeuvre in the defensive circle was the biggest talking point of this year's ANZ Championship, but the move could be used to even greater effect in Fast5. Anna Harrison undoubtedly remains the best exponent of the move. A format that encourages more long-range shots will give defenders that much longer to set up for the hoist.
Eboni Beckford-Chambers (England)
English defender Eboni Beckford-Chambers has been a revelation over the international season and is expected to be key to England's defence of their World Series title. An aggressive one-on-one defender who also isn't afraid to go out hunting, Beckford-Chambers' versatility will see her excel in this format.
Nadine Bryan (Jamaica)
With only one midcourt position, the centres will carry a big workload. At 1.65cm the Jamaican captain is dwarfed in the midcourt in a game that is increasingly becoming the exclusive domain of giants. But with fewer players on court and more space to roam, Fast5 will bring the smaller players back to the fore. A crafty attacker, Bryan will be hard to stop.
Mwai Kumwenda (Malawi)
Kumwenda became Malawi's first netball export to Australia when she started playing for an Australian club in the Victorian netball champs in 2010. The slight 1.84m shooter is known for her unorthodox movement in the goal circle, making it difficult for defenders to get a handle on her. Malawi coach Griffin Saenda is promising his shooters will go long at every opportunity.

CULTURE- ART FEATURE- Scratching the surface: Robert Bricker's mythic visions
September's First Friday promised a cure for the August of my discontent. Galleries whose walls went bare for the past few weeks opened their new seasons. But the weather was sweaty. I felt queasy. And worse, what little I saw was so-so at best— with one major exception: Robert Bricker's "Deep in Shallow Thoughts" at the McGuffey Art Center.
In a word: wow! The breadth of Bricker's show mirrors the profusion of imagery running through his work. Fifty drawings, cast bronze reliefs, and ceramic pieces fill McGuffey's main gallery, talking across each other with myriad repeated motifs, both classical and mundane. Fleshy nudes, the Minotaur, Icarus, and Chinoiserie-inspired elements share un-conflicted space with stepstools, cinderblocks, rowboats, and roller skates.
"I thrust unrelated images up against each other not as philosophy, but as deliberately ambiguous poetry," Bricker explains. "Whatever the viewer thinks the art means is what it means."
That last bit is slightly disingenuous— Bricker's witty titles and self-referential imagery make clear he is constantly cracking private jokes and telling personal narratives that viewers may or may not get. No matter. His mastery of technique, particularly in re-creating his drawings in clay, with their Classical-Dada-Cubist-Expressionist fusion, is well worth seeing even when the imagery's meaning remains elusive.
For many of the ceramic works, Bricker has collaborated with artists Tom Clarkson and Alex Johnson, who create clay forms that serve as Bricker's canvases. Bricker sprays these blank vessels with colored slips, into which he scratches his drawings, creating dimensions through the interplay of line and colored surfaces. Although adept with clay himself– evidenced by the graceful "Hand Built Ceramic Torso" (the most straightforward piece on display)– Bricker says he enjoys the "call and response relationship" of working with other artists.
One of the most striking works in the current exhibition is "Memoirs of an Old Geezer," a large urn thrown by Clarkson and completely covered by Bricker with his visual musings (including what appears to be a self-portrait of the artist at work on the urn). Reminiscent of Greek pottery, this piece and several others stand on turntables that enable the viewer to literally spin through the interconnecting images in Bricker's mind-boggling compositions.
Another standout piece is a large platter, "Sculpture Garden of Hephaestos," noteworthy for its clever use of perspective. As always, Bricker gives the viewer a sly wink. "If they smile, I win," he says.
No contest, Bricker wins.

DIXON – Most blowout wins are forgettable. The one that happened Thursday at Sauk Valley Community doesn't fall into that category.
Sauk Valley coach Russ Damhoff earned his 500th career win as the Skyhawks thumped visiting Black Hawk East 91-60 in both teams' Arrowhead Conference opener.
"It means something special to me," said Damhoff, who is in his 27th season. "We've had a lot of great players and a lot of special teams."
The postgame celebration was a family affair for Damhoff.
"I remember my mom and dad being at my first game," he said. "My mom was here tonight, and a couple of my brothers. That's special stuff."
Fortunately, reaching 500 wins came more easily than the humble beginnings indicated.
"My brother Bill helped me in my first year," Damhoff said. "It was a tough year. If we would have kept going at that pace, it would have taken over 160 years to get 500 wins. We've had some fun since then."
Sauk (10-5), which has won four straight, got down by six early before taking control. The Skyhawks went up by double digits midway through the first half and cruised from there.
Big man Daven Ottley led the Skyhawks with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Carlos Hendrix also had a double-double for Sauk, scoring 17 points and dishing out 14 assists. Jalen Riley scored 18 points and Magd Owayed 11.
"Coach coached a lot of great players before us," Ottley said. "To help him achieve a goal like that is really important to us."
The 5-foot-10 Hendrix and 6-foot Riley are a dynamic duo in the backcourt.
"I play real good with Los," said Riley, who exited with an ankle injury with 6:28 to play. "We've transitioned to the 1-2 punch pretty well. We started off at the same position, but coach moved me, and we've been playing pretty good since."
Riley thought his injury was minor and that he'd be back for Saturday's game.
The Skyhawks wore down the short-handed Warriors (3-13), who had just seven players. Sauk went 14 deep in the first 12 minutes.
Black Hawk East was playing without Savuyun Ladkin of Louisiana, who reportedly had a brother that was killed. Michael Green led the Warriors with 15 points.
Star of the game: Daven Ottley, Sauk, 20 points, 11 rebounds
Key performers: Carlos Hendrix, Sauk, 17 points, 14 assists; Jalen Riley, Sauk, 18 points, 4 steals; Michael Green, Black Hawk East, 15 points
Up next: Kennedy-King at Sauk Valley, 7:30 p.m. Saturday

Fans of Asian cuisine can take an armchair trip to the Orient while visiting Silk Asian Tavern in Vernon Hills.
New co-owners and executive chefs Cliff Ostrowski and Bo Wungwattana, both of whom have impressive credentials, last fall redesigned and reconcepted the restaurant at 4 E. Phillip Road in the building that formerly housed Silk Mandarin. Ostrowski most recently was executive chef and food and beverage director for China Grill Chicago and the Hard Rock Hotel. Wungwattana worked as executive chef at Chicago's Japonais.
Silk Asian Tavern4 E. Phillip Road, Vernon Hills, (847) 680-1760, silkasiantavern.com
Cuisine: Pan-Asian
Setting: Contemporary with Asian accents
Entrees: $7 to $22
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday; noon to 10 p.m. Saturday
"We felt there was a need to bring a downtown experience to a suburban restaurant," said Ostrowski, who has family in Vernon Hills. He and his partner also thought the location, surrounded by affluent communities, is very good.
Influences on the extensive all-day menu hail from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Korea. With a lot of "small bites" and half-portion entrees available, it's possible to touch on all of these countries in one visit.
The first section, "Dim Sum, Small Bites and Starters," lists small and regular portions of both predictable (crispy vegetable egg rolls, fried pork pot stickers) and less-common preparations (honeycomb tripe and beef, lobster toast with coconut curry sauce).
We opted for the Vietnamese shrimp spring roll -- a soft, translucent rice flour wrapper containing some nicely sized shrimp, Thai basil, cucumber, mint and rice noodles. The refreshing flavors and the accompanying sweet chili dipping sauce were as good as the rolls I've enjoyed at Vietnamese restaurants in Chicago and San Francisco.
Staying with cold foods to whet our palates, we jumped to the sushi menu and ordered two maki rolls, each cut into four pieces in the small portion. Again, this section ranged from the ordinary (spicy tuna, California roll) to the adventurous (spicy octopus, special unagi).
The Special Unagi (eel), featuring panko-crusted shrimp, avocado, red and wasabi tobiko and sweet unagi sauce, was one of the best of the many dishes we sampled. The crispy tempura-style shrimp added crunch to the multiplicity of flavors in each bite.
We also tried the ever-popular California roll, containing avocado and kami -- a "crab stick" made from a combination of fin fish, cucumber and smelt roe. Finding the small chunks of cucumber to be partially frozen, we told our server, who voluntarily took it off our bill. Our theory was that the shipment, received that morning, had sat outside too long somewhere along the way in below-freezing temperatures.
Next up were two choices from the robatayaki section, defined on the menu as marinated meats and vegetables, skewered and cooked over a Japanese grill. Priced between $3 and $5 per skewer, each portion contained four small cubes and a garnish, such as seaweed salad or micro greens.
The seven-spice beef tataki was cooked properly medium-rare, nicely seasoned and complemented by a wasabi ponzu sauce. However, the four tuna tataki cubes were cooked inconsistently, with those on the ends well-done and those in the middle the more preferred medium-rare. Perhaps they should be grilled off the skewer for more even cooking.
A vegetarian in our group asked our personable server if she could get a side of firm tofu, along with a regular menu side of tangy eggplant. Her request was honored with no problem, and the large plate of rectangular-shaped crisp tofu was one of the hits of our shared meal, especially when enjoyed alongside the tangy house-made sweet-and-sour sauce.
Big fans of Thai food, we ordered the green curry hot pot with shrimp, green peas, green pepper, Thai basil, baby corn, bamboo shoots and sweet coconut green curry sauce in the small portion. The curry arrived in a small cast iron pot over a contained flame, along with a generous portion of white rice. We were wowed by this presentation, as well as by the delicious flavors, which were spicy but not overpowering.
We also tried bibimbap, a classic Korean dish listed under Chef's Specialties, so that we could experience a different flavor profile from the other dishes. This version contained pickled vegetables, including a bit of spicy kimchee, chopped beef mixed with steamed rice and Korean chili paste and was topped with a fried egg. This dish is an acquired taste, since the chili paste emerged as the dominant flavor that stifled the more subtle ones. Diners who don't like spicy food should be cautioned away from the bibimbap.
To cool our palates, we ordered a dessert listed as Fruit Sushi, not knowing quite what to expect. This light, slightly sweet and beautifully presented creation was the perfect ending to our meal. A twist on the popular Thai sticky rice with mango, this colorful dessert, clearly meant for sharing, featured sliced mango, pineapple and dollops of cilantro pesto artfully arranged over a log of sushi rice on a pool of strawberry and mango purée.
Desserts vary seasonally but may include a chocolate lava cake with ginger caramel sauce and other less Western desserts such as litchi nuts and fried sesame sweet rice balls.
Asian cuisine lovers who have advanced beyond their neighborhood or chain Chinese take out restaurant would do well to follow an imaginary suburban Silk Road to Silk Asian Tavern. The restaurant also offers a stir-fry buffet on Saturdays, catering and delivery for a $25 minimum order within a five-mile radius.

Fukagawa, Kolodinsky Receive First Armin Grams Memorial Research Award
- 02-19-2013
- By Jennifer Nachbur
In honor of the late Armin Grams, Ph.D., a University of Vermont human development and family studies faculty member, and his commitment and passion for aging, the Center on Aging at UVM has established the Armin Grams Memorial Research Award to support pilot research projects that will lead to extramural funding in aging research. UVM Professor of Medicine Naomi Fukagawa, Ph.D., and Jane Kolodinsky, Ph.D., professor of community development and applied economics, have been announced as the award's first recipients for their joint project proposal titled "Community-Based Nutrition Intervention in Affordable Housing for Elders." The award presentation will take place on Friday, February 22, 2013 at 4 p.m. in the Health Science Research Facility Room 200.
In addition to increasing funded research focused on aging, Center on Aging Program Manager Jeanne Hutchins, M.A., says the goal of this $50,000 annual award is to support projects that seek to explore new questions or avenues of investigation, including basic, translational, clinical, and behavioral investigation.
Grams came to UVM in 1970 to establish the Human Development and Family Studies Program. During the earlier portion of his career, his work focused on parent-child relationships, but later transitioned to human relationships and sexuality. Following his retirement from UVM in 1990, he remained professionally active, developing and teaching several courses on gerontology, and playing an integral role in the establishment of both the former UVM Center for the Study of Aging and a Gerontology Certificate program. He also served in many national and international aging-related organizations, including as president of the Association of Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE). Grams passed away at the age of 78 in 2002.
Fukagawa and Kolodinsky are co-chairs of the UVM Food Systems Spire. Their pilot project aims to investigate the effectiveness of community-based nutrition education tools as a means to improve nutrition literacy of older residents and staff in affordable housing sites and to determine whether or not these tools can impact food intake, biomarkers of nutritional status and health, and indices of frailty. Among the tools they will be assessing are computer-based applications. Fukagawa and Kolodinsky are interested in learning whether these applications are useful in monitoring adherence to dietary recommendations and general health status, and could thereby assist staff in targeting individuals for earlier intervention. Their work will capitalize on a program developed by affordable housing provider Cathedral Square Corporation and will seek to determine whether the intervention contributes to positive outcomes associated with the Support And Services at Home (SASH) model: reduced hospitalizations or falls; control of chronic diseases; medication compliance; and identification of cognitive issues.

I still have family and friends in the community, I thought this may be something of interest.

Every inhabited island has its appendant and subordinate islets.
This island is fertile, variegated with hill and dale, and equally beautiful as diversified with Rotti, and its appendant isles.
I saw but one woman whose under lip was split and disfigured with an appendant ornament.
An English river-fish of the carp family, distinguished by the four appendant beards, whence its name is derived.
Was this right appurtenant to the manor, or was it also appendant to a frank tenement in a particular vill?
And for this reason the laxer right had to conform to the stricter one, and came to be considered as appendant to it.
Has any of your readers met with, or heard of the second short line, appendant and appurtenant to the first?
A right of pasture attached to land in the way we have described is said to be appendant or appurtenant to such land.
Crown lands often included palaces and their appendant farms, and burhs.

What happened in Asia is a disaster, we all recon that, but today it got personal for me. I just received an e-mail from my surf-teacher, a great guy from South Africa, who was there at the time of the tsunamis. He wrote to me that his girlfriend, who I know too, got cought up in the waves. They found her body a few days ago.
Me, Phil (the surfteacher) and Anne (his girlfriend) spent alot of time on my last holiday, we were usually the last ones to go to bed, telling stories at the campfire. Sometimes we even skipped sleeping and walked to the beach at 5 in the morning, to surf the waves without a whole crows getting in your way
This news struck me pretty hard, this girl was a legend, and I will honestly miss her.
Frankly I dont know the reason I'm writing this, but just remember to donate money to the aid-organisations. The tradegy can't be undone, but the land can be rebuilt, and our money can prevent a whole lot of other people from dying too. Be generous.

Been trying to be a safer driver and not look at your phone while behind the wheel? Apple has an update in the works to help.
When iOS 11 comes to iPhones (and iPads) this fall, the new operating system will include a "Do Not Disturb While Driving" mode users can turn on. Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi announced the new feature as part of its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose.
Once the feature is turned on, your iPhone can tell when you may be driving and automatically mute your notifications so your screen remains dark. You can also set up your device to send your favorite contacts an automatic reply to tell them you are driving and will get back to them when you arrive.
"It's all about keeping your eyes on the road," Federighi said. "When you are driving you don't need to be responding to these kind of messages," he said as the mammoth screen at the San Jose Convention Center showed alerts for Tinder and games coming onto a phone.
Very pleased to see #ios11 include road safety feature with 'Do Not Disturb Whilst Driving' #WWDC2017— Gavin Stephens (@DCCStephens) June 5, 2017

It turns out Wall Street was indeed hungry for some Noodles on Friday.
Broomfield-based Noodles & Company Inc. debuted on the public market by pricing its 5.37 million shares at $18 -- above already heightened projections -- and finished out its first day by doubling its stock price.
Shares of Noodles (Nasdaq: NDLS) soared 104 percent, or $18.75, to close at $36.75 on Friday, the day the Broomfield-based operator of fast-casual restaurants raised $96.4 million in an IPO.
The stock excelled -- rocketing as high as 118 percent at one point -- on a flat and lackluster day for the Nasdaq and Dow.
"It's obviously really exciting," Noodles CEO Kevin Reddy told the Camera a couple hours after he rang the Nasdaq opening bell. "We couldn't be more pleased to see just the reception that we had and the quality of the investors."
Noodles finished Friday as the holder of the best-performing IPO in the United States during the second quarter, according to Renaissance Capital's U.S. IPO Review for the second quarter of 2013 report released Friday after markets closed.
When Noodles filed its registration documents in May for a future IPO, the offering size was $75 million. Earlier this week, the company raised its price range to $15 to $17 per share from the previous range of $13 to $15 per share.
Noodles granted its underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 803,571 shares of the firm's Class A common stock to cover over-allotments.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and UBS Securities LLC were joint book-running managers for the offering. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Jefferies LLC, Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. and Piper Jaffray & Co. were book-running managers for the offering.
If the underwriters were to exercise those options fully, Noodles' proceeds from the offering would climb to $100.4 million from $87 million, company officials said in a regulatory filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday.
Nearly the entirety of the proceeds will go toward paying down Noodles' credit facility that has a balance of about $100.3 million, as of April 2.
When Noodles bolstered its store base in 2012 by 45 locations, the company finished the year with $93.7 million in long-term debt, a 20.9 increase from year-end 2011.
Reining in the red is imperative as Noodles positions itself to become a national chain, and growing its 343-retaurant store base to upward of 2,500 in the next 15 to 20 years, Reddy said.
"In these days of interest rates rising and creeping a little bit, it'll be nice to pay off debt or eliminate it entirely," he said.
Without the weight of the debt, the company's sales growth and position in the booming fast-casual sector will allow for enough free cash flow to fuel a calculated expansion, he said. That amounts to the "low double-digit" new stores-per-year rate, he said.
Sales at fast-casual restaurant concepts -- a hybrid of quick-service and full-service casual dining restaurants -- grew 13.2 percent in 2012, as compared to an industry average of 5.1 percent, according to data provided by FastCasual.com and Technomic.
Reddy is bullish about the positioning of Noodles in that market.
"Our ability to deliver 'better-for-you' ingredients at a fast pace allows us to get trade-ups from quick-service," he said.
He continued that, on the other side, Noodles can eat away at the sit-down casual competitors by having the made-to-order food delivered on custom China to seated customers for an average of $8 and no tip.
"This is an incredibly compelling value proposition," he said.
For Noodles' fiscal year that ended on Jan. 1, 2013, the company had a net income of $5.2 million on revenue of $300.4 million. During the prior year, Noodles made $3.8 million on revenue of $256.1 million, according to filings made with the SEC.
Noodles opened its first restaurant in 1995 and was a Boulder-based firm before moving to Broomfield in 2006.
In 2010, an investment group led by Catterton Partners, a $2.5 billion private equity firm based in Greenwich, Conn., and Argentia Private Investments Inc., a subsidiary of the investment arm of the Canadian government, acquired a controlling interest in Noodles.
Prior to Friday's offering, Catterton and Argentia owned more than 20.8 million share, or nearly 90 percent of Noodles' common stock, according to regulatory filings.
Reddy and Chief Operating Officer Keith Kinsey owned 2.81 percent and 1.66 percent, respectively.
Noodles credited Reddy and Kinsey -- veterans of Chipotle and McDonald's -- with developing and nurturing the company's strategic vision. Reddy and Kinsey had compensation packages totaling $1.1 million and $773,145, respectively, in 2012.

'Small Business Works' event slated for April 28
March 8, 2011
"Small Business Works," a free workshop designed to help small business owners find the resources they need to be successful. will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 28, at the Kingsley Association, 6435 Frankstown Avenue.
The effort is a partnership among Allegheny County, the City of Pittsburgh, U.S. Small Business Administration, Duquesne University, and Building Bridges for Business. The workshop is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Technology Council, Pittsburgh Business Times, and Comcast Business Class.
"Small businesses are critical to our region's economic recovery and success," said Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato. "These organizations employ tens of thousands of people directly, and they benefit other businesses through purchasing and investments. Through this partnership, we are proud to provide a resource that can offer strategies and programs to help small businesses grow and encourage new business."
The event will feature guest speakers and exhibitors, in addition to providing a forum for business owners to network and share best practices. The theme of this seminar is "Tools for Small Business – 2011 and Beyond," and will focus specifically on cost-efficient resources.
"Small businesses are the lifeline of neighborhood business districts and their success and growth is key to maintaining a livable and vibrant city," said Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. "Through opportunities like this, we hope to help small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs achieve success by educating them on the many tools and existing programs that are currently available."
During the event, attendees will learn more about services, such as the Allegheny County Department of Minority, Women & Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (MWDBE). MWDBE offers many useful services, including the Diversity Business Resource Center, an assistance service and referral center that helps business owners bid on county contracts, as well as the Working Capital Loan Program, which provides short-term capital loans to minority, women and disadvantaged firms that have secured a contract with a local, state or federal government entity.
For more information on MWDBE, visit www.alleghenycounty.us/mwdbe or call 412-350-4309.
There is no cost for registration. For more information on the event and to RSVP, go to www.buildingbridgesforbusiness.org.

The Russians are tied to the rest of the world now as never before. Their stock market is in free-fall, early sanctions have already reversed their economy's growth, and wealthy Russians' overseas and European assets and travel privileges are being frozen, or soon will be.
So, the disastrous economic corner (peninsula?) the Russians have painted themselves into will be far more harmful than any military action by the West.
And this in spite of Sarah Palin's idiotic and sophomoric comment at CPAC: "Mr. President, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke."

And enough with the all black uniforms by everybody.
Seems this season that, even if a school's colors are white and off white, you can still be sure they'll come out in all black duds at some point (or four). Each and every weekend another school gets its Darth Vader on, school colors be damned. All black unis are officially now the Seven Nation Army of "special" uniforms.
Last Saturday, Michigan State limited their "special" uniform to their helmets. And yes, they stood out - but not in a good way:
(pic via Uni Watch)
Yes, I'll wait to give your eyes a second to re-adjust.
Called "HydoChrome" helmets, they were, uh, shiny. In fact, I thought they looked like a bunch of green Christmas ornaments running around on the field (okay, not really "running" since Michigan's defense shut Le'Veon Bell down).
Look, everybody can't be Oregon. The different-every-week is their schtick. And black can't be one of your school colors if it's not one of your school colors. And Nike/Adidas/Scool ADs, just because you call it a "special" jersey, fans aren't stupid enough to spend $80 to buy another one with an extra stripe or two each season (tell me you're not stupid enough).
So let's get back to a school having actual home and away uniforms rather than more costume changes than a Broadway musical.

It's Boat Test Monday! Every year, we meet up with some of the top manufactures in the pontoon and deck boat world to test their newest models. All of these reviews are compiled in a special Boat Test issue that comes out during the first part of the year.
Tahoe Sierra 2585 RC Elite
Our First Impression
Our eyes wouldn't let us get past the two helm chairs in the bow, complete with a table and a standard umbrella. Talk about inviting: this would be the only place we'd ever want to relax on this boat. Of course this Tahoe has a lot more to it than just this bow area, but as far as first takes go, we were impressed with the layout.
Consumer Test
We tend to focus our attention on the interior of the boat, but we feel we'd be selling this `toon short if we didn't highlight the exterior as well. For starters, we like the Deco side rails that not only offer ventilation for the under-seat storage compartments inside, but the chromo raised logos really jump off the red panels. For durability, we can appreciate the heavy-duty rubrail as well as the stainless corner castings.
Moving inside the boat through the stainless bow gate, we like that 90 percent of the components are manufactured in-house, which helps give Tahoe complete design control. Between the two reclining and fully adjustable bow chairs is a smoked-glass table that doubles as a base for the umbrella. Also in the bow is a padded storage area in the corners with stainless rod holders, which means the plush chairs also double as two very comfy seats to wet a line.
The rest of the furniture, including the two chaise lounges, is equally as comfortable thanks to the 50-ounce Matrix vinyl that is as durable as it is kid-friendly. Below the bow chaise is a designated trash receptacle with lid and below the rear-facing one is Tahoe's unique wine rack and glass holder. It's little hidden features like this that we've come to expect and love from this builder.
At the fiberglass helm is a good-looking console with a built-in GPS, toggle switches and easy-to-read gauges. We also like the stereo system that has a place for your memory stick if you'd prefer to download your music instead of using the iPod port. The captain's chair is equally as comfortable as the two in the bow and in the stern below the double wide sundeck is a pop-up changing room that is average in size. We also like the battery storage compartment that is actually waist high and unlike other builders, the location is clearly not an afterthought. Outside the rear stainless gate is a synthetic teak floor as well as a fold down ladder and a large ski/tow bar.
Inspection Test
The triple Waveglide high performance pontoons are 25 inches in diameter and the weld quality on the chambered tubes with lifting strakes is excellent. The C-channel cross-members are bolted to the plywood deck and are on 16-inch centers.
Up top there is over 17 feet of useable space from inside the bow gate to the rear bench seat. One unique feature with the aluminum-framed seat bases is the vents on the inside that allow fresh air to circulate from the outside.
Performance Test
With the Evinrude 150 E-TEC we jumped up on plane quickly and reached speeds well over 30 miles per hour. She's very responsive and fun to drive and in the flat turns she handles very well, which should make water sport enthusiasts very excited.
Who Should Buy It
You get a lot of versatility with this model, which should appeal to a lot of people. The tubers in your family will enjoy the thrill ride, but it really is a great patio-style pontoon with plenty of great places to sit and be comfortable.
Why We Love This BoatWith the majority of the components being built in-house, Tahoe can really go the extra mile with its layouts and amenities and it shows on this model.
Just Being PickyThe majority of the `toon has very tall rails, but we did note for fishing reasons they're lower in the bow. However, this is only a mild concern if you have younger children.
Notable StandardsStainless corner castings, air vents for seating compartment, built-in docking lights, mood lights, high-back reclining helm chair, Matrix 50 vinyl, aluminum seat frames and polished aluminum bimini frame.
Options On The Test BoatTriple Waveglide high performance pontoons, premium sound system, in-tube ski locker and ski/tow bar.

I have a bad ABS relay in my 97 OB. Diagnosing the problem was the easy part, and now I am determined to find a replacement relay without going to the dealer. Has anyone found a source for ABS relays used in Soobs other than the dealer?
How about other vehicles that use the same relay? The bone yards in my area rarely have Soobs, but I doubt the relay is specific to Subaru vehicles.
If the dealership is my only option I will do it, but this board has always had terrific resources so I thought I should check here first.
Thanks in advance,

ABS Relays - dealer only part?

On the picture in the diagnostic manual, both ABS relays look like Bosch type (maybe because the system was licensed from Bosch?), with Bosch numbering of the pins. But Bosch relays come in several configurations, different in width and arrangement of the pins. You'd have to find an exact match.
Posted 20 April 2004 - 09:22 PM
AVK - Thanks for the info. I noticed the name Nippon on the relays. I wonder if Nippon makes the relays for Bosch.
Posted 20 April 2004 - 09:32 PM
Maybe they are copies of Bosch? All the other relays in the car are different. Also, the pictures I saw were for '95 ABS, but you know what a Bosch "cube" relay looks like, so you can tell if that's what you have.

Germany's Marco Reus ruled out of World Cup
Marco Reus has been ruled out of Germany's World Cup campaign with a partially torn ligament in his left ankle.
- Watch: Reus' injury (US, UK only)
- #WorldCupRank No. 33: Marco Reus
The Dortmund winger rolled his ankle during Germany's 6-1 win over Armenia in a friendly on Friday night, and Die Mannschaft confirmed the extent of Reus' injury on their official website.
Reus' was seen crying on the side of the pitch after being taken off.
He was taken to Mainz University Hospital, according to Bild, which reported Reus tore his anterior tibiofibular ligament between the tibia and fibula, and German press officer Jens Grittner confirmed on Saturday that Reus would not make the trip to Brazil, with Sampdoria defender Shkodran Mustafi called up to replace him in the 23-man squad.
WM-Aus für Reus - Mustafi rückt ins Brasilien-Aufgebot. Alles Weitere auf dfb.de.
- Jens Grittner (@JensGrittner) June 7, 2014
"I really don't know how I am meant to find the words to express how I am currently feeling," Reus wrote on the Dortmund website. "A dream has ended from one second to the next. But I have got to look forwards and be very professional about my rehabilitation because life must go on.
"I will come back, even stronger than I was. My best wishes now go to the whole team and that they reach our goals without me."
Germany coach Joachim Loew expressed his compassion for the 25-year-old on Saturday after his worst fears were confirmed. "It's extremely regrettable both for him and for us," he said. "Marco was in top form and he had made a fantastic impression during our training camp and in both our games against Cameroon and Armenia.
"You could just see how much he was enjoying his football. He had played a key role in our considerations for Brazil.
"It was not about finding a like-for-like replacement for Marco. We have a great deal of quality in that position behind the forwards. We've got enough alternatives with Lukas Podolski, Andre Schurrle, Mario Gotze, Thomas Muller, Mesut Ozil, Julian Draxler and Toni Kroos. That is why we have chosen an extra option for the defence. Shkodran impressed us during our training camp, he's fit and we have faith in him. We know we can rely on him 100 percent."
Podolski replaced Reus in the game against Armenia, scoring once and setting up two more goals.
Germany face the United States, Portugal and Ghana in Group G, with their first game against Portugal on June 16.

Ecuador: Organizing a "Minga" to Protect a Water Source
"Minga" in Kichwa means "community work". Our colleague Inés Lopez who is based in Carchi, an Andean province of Ecuador, participated in a "minga" to protect the water source of the Cumbaltar community. Ines did not mind the five blisters the minga left on her hands. Instead she considered a gratifying memory of the day's work, which involved women who received food once they finished working.
A stone path leads the WFP vehicle up to Cumbaltar in the providence of Carchi. You must be prepared for action because there will be a minga (Kichwa word that means "community work") to move and place materials to build a fence to protect the community's water source.
Inés López has been working for a year in the WFP Sub-Office in Carchi, Ecuador's northern border province with Colombia. The insecurity that forces Colombians to flee their country and settle in Ecuador, the country with the largest refugee population in the Western Hemisphere, is not visible from this side.
Working directly with the 170 families of this community fuels Inés enthusiasm for her work with WFP. She has just arrived with municipal government officials and the food rations that will be distributed to participants once the minga has finished moving the fence poles.
The water source must be protected. The minga must place posts to start building a fence which will serve as a barrier and prevent people and animals from polluting the water source. The fence will allow the minga to plant native trees for reforestation and will prevent farmers from planting crops. The people of Cumbaltar are eager to preserve quality of their only water source and Inés is there to support them.
"We have to take the poles by hand"
After receiving the fence posts, the community should take them to the water source. But there is a problem: There is no trail or path to the source. Nevertheless, the minga carries the heavy fence posts by hand and one by one. No one, including the women, is intimidated by the task. Fortunately the community leader has inspired them for the day's work. He has explained them that the community must work together to improve the living conditions. He firmly believes that with the expected results, these families will continue working their land here in the northern border of Ecuador.
This minga and the distribution of food rations among the participants are part of a Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation that WFP is implementing in Carchi and other seven provinces, with special emphasis on the border with Colombia. The operation, which is aligned with the Government's priorities and has the support of provincial and municipal governments, aims to support and protect the nutritional status of Colombian refugees, asylum seekers and Ecuadorian host communities, especially women and children.
Some 56.000 refugees and another 16.000 asylum seekers from Colombia have settled in Ecuador, making it the country with the largest refugee population in the Western Hemisphere. The operation is funded by the governments of the United States, Canada, Brazil and Luxembourg, as well as private sector companies like PepsiCo, Trimarine and KFC.
Water is essential for food security and nutrition
Access to clean water is extremely important for food security and nutrition. The population here suffers from anemia and other nutritional problems that affect children's growth and development. The challenge for the people of Cumbaltar is to improve their diet with the food distributed by WFP, and also prevent the loss of nutrients due to diarrhea or parasites, which are common brought by unsafe water.
How many people are needed to carry a post? It depends on each's person strength. Meanwhile Inés helps the women in their task. Although this job requires a lot of physical strength, the women are happy to join the minga because they want to protect the water source that is going to bring health to their families. In all its programmes and projects, as in this minga in Cumbaltar, WFP promotes gender equality and the active participation of women, especially in leadership and decision making positions. For WFP, the participation of women in decision-making in their families and in their communities is the key to end food insecurity in the world.
The minga reaches its destination and place the posts. Inés is left with sore arms, three blisters on her right hand and two on her left hand which she takes as a living memory of the minga. For her, the pain and the blisters are part of the good memories of her experience with the community. "It's very rewarding and exciting," he says smiling.
Finally the day ends. Participants of the minga, especially women, have the satisfaction having accomplished their goal and also take home their WFP food rations. Now Cumbaltar residents can start planning their next minga to further improve the life of their community.
