... I ... I ... I ... the it's the it's my understanding from leadership is likely to occur today ... I had no objections to the timing of this vote in the reason is simple ... there's nothing to be gained from delaying this vote one day or two days the outcome will be the saying every Senator ... every member of the house is gonna have to make a decision where he or she stance ... welcome to Opinion Journal I'm Mary Kissel ... thanks alot Ted Cruz that was the Senator from Texas just moments ago ... talking about the bipartisan deal that was worked out in the Nick of time ... in the Senate and that will soon go to the house for a vote to avoid default on U S that I've got editorial board member Steve Moore in Washington ... to talk about the deal and also to talk about who was responsible ... for taking us to this briefing this anything brinksmanship ... as the first ... is a quick summary what is this the all about ... well Mary in a literally the agreement that does ... this McConnell and Harry Reid reach was just minutes ago so we're we're dealing with real time here and so we are only of some of the sketchy details but it looks is all basically the Democrats got pretty much everything that they want it it's a ... it's a clean debt ceiling and to clean extension ... of the of reopening that the government for another few months I that this goes through I believe the middle of Janney worried Mary ... Republicans didn't get in touch ... in in in the way what they wanted all reformers or delays in Obamacare ... they got one little item which was a ... a change in the eye ... in the ID verification to make sure that people get the subsidies are actually eligible for them ... but not all not much else Maryann so it's you hafta say politically looks like a victory for the pros ... yet a big victory for the presidency when there's also some sort of budget Committee that it's not binding ... order to learn more about that in these next to our area now I've been in Washington for thirty years I mean I've lived for a hundred of these bombs it ... yet I don't and probably not even the Republicans and they never leave anything so that that's idly kind of the pops see the didn't name names ... who were the Republicans or the lobby groups in Washington ... there were responsible ... for rejecting the house deal that could this on this days ago ... I need to endure tying about that the host deal that was God can move forward yesterday ... which I probably you made some sense given where Republicans war it would basically iam required the Vitter amendment to require all of Congress to live ... under the law of Obamacare which by the way Mary is a nineteen ten the issue with the public they they wanted to Congress that the live by the same law that imposed on the rest of us ... that the groups like the iam freedom works that can be on groups like guided heritage action might be done by the way for friends of mine who I think I share a lot of goals when I think they're tactic here was very misguided ... because what it did bite bite basically saying we are not legal to the steel and telling members of Congress ... and the Republicans not to go for it ... it looks very like the Guinea get up with something worse not better ... so you've got freedom works Heritage Action ... and cool in the house were the guys to ... and served as their talking heads to the lobby for those positions ... well you know you know some of the people like us the masher of Mischa Gannon ... and honesty King of the viola who basically said hold the line ... you know were were winning this fight it and just you know the problem was a lot of the tea party people ... dead and members of the Congress ... believe the Republicans could win any data until the ... very last hours Mary where it became so clear that at this point they had to settle for them there in the bass that take a gap ... on for Chile by taking the position as I look at Narita got up but they got pretty much not think the government's gonna reopen the debt ceiling is gonna be extended on Barack Obama is terms and any wonder what was this whole fight over the last two weeks of the Motley snowball fight about it's a great question ... editorial board member Steve Moore thank so much for joining us

Nashville, Tenn. - On Thursday the Ohio Valley Conference announced that the Tennessee State University Flying Tigers were the recipients of the 2011-12 Team Sportsmanship Awards for outdoor track and field.
Voted on by the student-athletes and coaches of the respective sports, the team awards are bestowed upon the Conference squads deemed to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical behavior as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. Included in the areas for evaluation are the conduct of student-athletes, coaches, staff and administrators and fans.
"Without sportsmanship there are truly no meaningful victories," said Beth DeBauche, OVC Commissioner. "The recipients of the OVC Team Sportsmanship awards should accept this award with great pride for their fellow competitors have made it clear their teams exemplify the best in intercollegiate athletics. In receiving this prestigious honor other competitors are saying these student-athletes compete with class, respect their opponents and value fair play. That is quite a compliment as those are all traits that will lead to true victories throughout the course of life."
The 2011-12 school year marks the seventh year the team sportsmanship honors have been awarded. This marks the second-straight Outdoor Track and Field Sportsmanship award for TSU.
The Tennessee State men's squad finished fourth at this year's OVC Outdoor Championship.
"We were very excited about getting the honor," said TSU head track coach Chandra Cheeseborough-Guice. "One thing we want to teach our team is that we must have good sportsmanship, which transfers over to winning. We are looking to continue good sportsmanship next season and are honored to have earned this award."
Implemented in August 2005, the team honors are the most recent addition to an awards program that recognizes and celebrates sportsmanship within the Conference. In 1998, the league established the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to a male or female student-athlete of junior or senior status who best exemplifies the characteristics of the late Morehead State student-athlete, coach and administrator. Five years later, the Conference added the OVC Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to the member institution selected by its peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical behavior as outlined by the OVC and NCAA.
In 1995, the Ohio Valley Conference implemented a first-of-its-kind "Sportsmanship Statement," a policy promoting principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one's opponent. The statement answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics, and has become a model for others to follow across the nation.

The other day after pulling into a parking lot at Outback Steakhouse, I noticed steam spewing out from the front of my car. Not from under the hood, but from the grate area, right above the license plate. Fortunately my Step Dad and Mom were meeting us and were able to help assess the situation. If you know me at all, you know that I am mechanically challenged. I can check the level of oil in my car and the air pressure in my tires and that is about the extent of my knowledge on cars. SD (Step Dad) asks me to pop the hood and he checks things out. Radiator is full, nothing seems amiss. Yet there is still a nice, loud hissing sound coming from the front of my car. We decide to go in and sit down to let the car cool down before doing anything else. When we come back out, Jon gets down on his hands and knees to listen for the sound and notices a dent/hole, about the size of a bullet (which is was not), in what we thought at the time was some kind of filter (turns out to be the condensing unit). I put a paper towel over the hole and the hissing stops. Okay, now we know where it is coming from. I called Aaron and we discuss calling the dealer the next day.
Fast forward to Wednesday (yesterday). I had an appointment to take the van in at 9 PM last night (who knew they made appts. that late?). I brought it in and told the guy what happened. By this point my A/C was no longer working either. BTW, I drive a 2007 Odyssey, so I figured the A/C had something to do with the other issue, as one would think that it should still work after just being 1 year old. I sat around the dealer for about 15 minutes before they came to tell me the bad news. The condensing unit needed replaced. That, combined with labor was going to cost us $800+ tax! OUCH!!!! Aaron talked with the guy and asked why this condensing unit is so exposed that a rock can go through it and cause it to be replaced. All Hondas are like this, the guy said. Nice.
So, this expense, plus my recent dental issues (another whole post to the tune of $3500), well, there goes my deck. We have been wanting to put a deck on the back of the house for a while and have recently gotten some quotes. Well, after these unexpected expenses, I think that will have to wait for a while.
If there is a positive to this all or a silver lining, the guy at the Honda dealer didn't charge us for the rental car I am driving until I get my van back. 😉

Cooking Estonian: barley mousse
A similar pudding made with manna/semolina - mannavaht - is very common in Estonia, and much loved by children. Another version - rukkijahuvaht - uses rye flour. Whereas semolina version yields the fluffiest mousse, this is lovely as well. A proper nursery food.
Estonian barley mousse
Serves 4
500 ml water
100-150 ml sugar
200 ml plain cranberry or redcurrant juice
200 ml barley flour
Bring water and sugar to boil and stir, until sugar dissolves. Add the juice.
Stir in barley flour, whisking very vigorously to avoid any lumps.
Simmer for a few minutes, until the 'porridge' thickens.
Take off the heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk with an electric mixer until light and foamy (you're dealing with barley flour here, so the mousse will inevitably be a bit heavy).
Divide into dessert bowls and serve with cold milk.

mannapuuro is amongst the fondest memories from my childhood. especially next morning when it's cold and cuts nicely with a spoon, with granny's strawberry-blueberry-raspberry soup

Antti - 'mannapuuro' is really nice, too, though I like it hot with a dollop of jam or butter.. Mmm. This is more like 'vispipuuro'.
Anonymous - nn health food poodides on odrajahu saada. Mina ostsin poolekilose paki Edinburghi Taluturult. Tootjaks "Heatherslaw Corn Mill Traditional Cereals".

Ah - vispipuuro - or rather punapuuro as my mom calls it or punis as Anna and I call it. Sooooo goood. But I prefer it cold too. With milk obviously. Mom always asks if I want it when I go home, but lately - sadly - I have chosen not to have it because of the unmentionable-thing-I'm-on... Sadly you can't have proper lingonberry-punapuuro, but currants would work okayish too I guess. Cranberry-punapuuro would be very interesting indeed!

It is so interesting to read about Estonian food, I didn´t know anything before even though I have been to Estonia quite a lot. This summer I really have to go back and practise my new knowledge, it is going to be so much fun to shop for food in Haapsalu now.

Hee, mannavaht ise korjatud jõhvikatest. Minu jaoks on see see ainuke ja õige. Järgmisel päeval ja ohtra piimaga. Vanaema tegi seda nii ja nii kaua kui mäletan. Vahel tuleb isu ja tellin sööklast, aga see pole kunagi see... Jälle üks idee teha midagi, mida pole ise katsetanud.
PS! Tegin hapukapsasuppi ja täiesti söödav elamus oli. Vahel ikka peab härjal sarvist haarama. :D

Antti - punapuuro:) We sometimes call it 'roosamanna'. And yes, vispipuuro _always_ cold, _mannapuuro_ usually hot (and preferably not with milk). Cranberry-punapuuro is delicious, and this summer my mum made some really tasty and intensely-coloured blackcurrant one (so basically any tarter berries from our garden do the trick).
J - I think you have:) But that's a good thing, no?
Clivia - don't think you'll find barley mousse on the menu, but you might just find mannavaht or the semolina version in some diners. You never know.. Any Haapsalu house mum would be able to whip one up for you, just ask!
Thredalia - jõhvikamannavaht on mõnus, sõstra oma ka (mu ema tegi sel suvel mustsõstramoosijäänukeist imehead mannavahtu).
Ja tore kuulda, et hapukapsasupp maitses. Kas see tähendab, et ma pean nüüd piima-hapukapsasuppi proovima????!???

I've been reading Silvia Kalvik's "The Cooking of Estonia" (English version) & there is a chapter on Porridges & Gruels. I grew up with oatmeal porridge, with brown sugar on top, which I'll always prefer. Barley Porridge Scones sound worth trying out. But the superstitions are very interesting to read!!

To my dear readers in Tartu, Estonia:
Thredalia - Sa võid ju vanaemale väita, et ülikoolis on vaja:)
Pene - I have that book, though my version is called "Estonian cuisine". Not sure whether 'cuisine' is the right word in this context:) It's full of very rustic and nutritious dishes, though most of them need to be slightly adapted for modern tastes and kitchens. I also like her book on folk calendar dishes, which I use quite often. That's only available in Estonian though. And yes - barley porridge scones or plain barley scones (odrajahukarask) are definitely worth trying out. Or you can just come and check my blog in a few weeks - I'm hoping to bake them soon..

Pia - but that's the cookbook of peasant food!? Rustic, humble, poor cuisine. I like reading what my great-grandparents were eating, and many of the recipes have been adapted to my modern kitchen.

Citing its commitment to improving the regulatory environment for the planning, development, siting, and construction of transmission infrastructure, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) weighed in at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in support of the transfer from DOE to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) of certain directives regarding transmission corridors authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct05). In a letter to DOE, NEMA offered its support for a draft proposal that would put into a single agency all EPAct05 authorities related to improving interstate transmission infrastructure in the most congested areas of the country.
"NEMA was influential in making the case to Congress for a greater federal role in the development of certain interstate transmission lines," said NEMA VP of Government Relations Kyle Pitsor. "Unifying these authorities at FERC should offer a fresh start for the implementation of the law."
EPAct05 gave DOE and FERC complementary responsibilities to improve the nation's ability to develop high-priority transmission lines. FERC and DOE have drafted a plan that would move DOE's authorities to conduct triennial transmission congestions studies and to establish National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETC) to FERC. EPAct05 had already assigned FERC to issue permits for construction within DOE-identified NIETC.
Since enactment of the law, two court decisions invalidated FERC's backstop siting authority in these transmission corridors as well as DOE's designation of the two NIETC themselves, one in the Mid-Atlantic and the other in the Southwest.
"These setbacks require the agencies to re-evaluate the way forward," Pitsor said. "This administrative action, along with FERC's careful application of any new authorities provided to it in accordance with EPAct05 and the provisions contained in FERC's Order No. 1000, would reduce congestion on our nation's electric grid, facilitate siting of new transmission infrastructure, and improve the delivery of power from where it is produced to where it is consumed by residential, commercial, and institutional end-users."

Russell was a native of Panama, but after winning $3000 in a lottery in 1919, he moved with his mother and sister to New Orleans where he made a living as a pianist. In 1925 Russell moved to Chicago to join Doc Cook and his Dreamland Orchestra and then later became the pianist in King Oliver's band. He moved to New York with Oliver in 1927 before he formed his own Luis Russell Orchestra made up of several other King Oliver sidemen. He recorded six songs in 1926 with his Hot Six and Heebie Jeebie Stompers. By 1929 his band had grown to ten-pieces and they recorded a dozen records that are considered some of the first and best examples of Swing music. The band started backing up Louis Armstrong on a few of his early orchestra recordings. In 1935 Louis Armstrong took it over the orchestra altogether and for the next eight years they functioned as back-up band for Armstrong with Russell acting as the musical director. Russell led a new band from 1943-48 that played at the Savoy and Apollo and made a few recordings. The final 15 years of his life he made his living outside of music, operating a candy shop, a toy store and then working as a chauffeur.

The Seahawks beat the Redskins at their own game yesterday, running college-style plays on offense with a unique rookie quarterback and winning 24-14.
As much attention as the Redskins got for using the pistol and adapting their offense to RGIII's skillset this season, the Seahawks have done almost the exact same thing in the last two months.
And they've become the hottest team in the NFL because of it.
Seattle ran for a franchise playoff record 224 yards on 37 attempts yesterday. A full 30% of those attempts were option plays, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Those option plays averaged 10.0 yards per carry, compared to 4.4 yards per carry on non-option plays. They were basically unstoppable.
Seattle also scored this game-winning TD on an option play:// OO.ready(function() { OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer', 'pwcXg0ODqTPYwJjM0PmYYih1HveVbj9O'); }); //
This isn't the traditional, 1970s-style option. This is a "read option," where the QB reads the defense out of the shotgun and chooses to either hand it off or take it himself.
In a fantastic SB Nation article on the college-ization of pro offenses, Chris Brown explained why teams like Seattle have tweaked things:
"The common motivation for change in the NFL is not the genius of the coaches, or a desire to be revolutionary, or any kind of special tactical wisdom unforeseen by anyone before. In the NFL, change is not driven so much by the ideas themselves as by the skills of its players."
This is exactly what Seattle has done.
Since Week 13, Seattle has run more option than any team in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats & Info. In that same span they've gone 6-0 and transformed themselves into an offensive juggernaut. Here's the team breakdown:
- Before Week 13: 19.9 points per game, 138.2 rushing yards per game
- Week 13 on: 36.6 points per game, 213.8 rushing yards per game
Wilson's rushing stats show a similar bump:
- Before Week 13: 5.2 rushes per game, 20.6 yards per game
- Week 13 on: 7.5 rushes per game, 54.8 yards per game
They're the hottest team in the NFL because they're tailoring their offense to what their players do best, regardless of whether they have to run "college" players or not.

Rams Defeat Purchase for Conference Win
Farmingdale State - 73, Purchase College - 38
Purchase, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State women's basketball team traveled to Purchase College last night and defeated the Panthers 73-38. The Rams (15-0, 9-0 Skyline) never trailed in the contest.
A three-pointer by senior guard Jesse Domes (Glenwood, N.Y./Springville) for Purchase (5-9, 3-6 Skyline) squared the game at 5-5, before Farmingdale went on a 19-0 run over the next 11:33, opening up a 24-5 advantage with 5:50 remaining in the first half. Farmingdale went into halftime leading 34-20.
The Rams came out of the break on a 16-0 run, extending the lead to 50-20. The Panthers did not score for the first 9:20 of the second half until a layup by freshman guard Imani Floyd (Ossining, N.Y./Ossining). Farmingdale held Purchase to 10-for-51 shooting from the field in the game.
Senior guard Kimberly Blakney (Brooklyn, N.Y./Benjamin Banneker) led all scorers with 22 points, shooting 10-for-20 from the floor and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds. Senior guard Kamaya Miller (Brooklyn, N.Y./Midwood) had 13 points, six rebounds and four steals, while sophomore forward Dominique Cunningham (Copiague, N.Y./Amityville) was second on the team with 10 rebounds for Farmingdale.
Domes led Purchase with 19 points and seven rebounds. Senior guard Shayla Diaz (Beacon, N.Y./Beacon) pitched in with 11 points and had a team-best five steals.
The Rams travel to St. Joseph's College for a Skyline Conference game on Thursday, January 21st at 6:00 p.m.

Brothers to be sentenced for attack during New London brawl
Two brothers have pleaded no contest to attacking a man during a large brawl outside the WildStyle Motorcycle Club in downtown New London on Sept. 22.
Robert Marin, 23, entered his plea Tuesday in New London Superior Court. Judge Susan B. Handy will sentence him Oct. 30 to up to 2½ years in prison for accessory to second-degree assault.
Donte Martin, 22, pleaded no contest to the same charge in July and will be sentenced Oct. 23 to up to 2½ years in prison. Their attorneys will have the right, at sentencing, to argue for lesser prison terms. Both remained incarcerated while their cases were pending.
Prosecutor Lawrence J. Tytla said that police responding to a report of a 3:30 a.m. stabbing at 111 Bank St. found a victim with multiple stab wounds and a second victim with multiple facial lacerations, a broken nose and a split from the bridge of his nose to his nostrils. He was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital due to the severity of his injuries.
The Marin brothers were charged in connection with the second victim, Jairo Perez. Police recovered cellphone video of the attack showing Perez on the ground, Tytla said. In the video, when Perez gets up and begins to flee, he is struck from behind and a woman is heard saying, "Damn, Robert." The victim then falls to the ground, the video shows, and is pummeled by others, Tytla said.
Two other brothers, Jose and Juan Roman of Waterford, president and vice president of the now-shuttered WildStyle Motorcycle Club at 130 Bank St., are charged with the stabbing, which left a man with life-threatening injuries. The Romans remain incarcerated and have court dates this week.

This is my story
I am helping students and the community to discover and appreciate art and nature in ways that one would not ordinarily think of.
Last fall, I introduced a group of freshmen non-artists to the style of British sculptor and environmentalist Andy Goldsworthy, who makes art installations from natural objects and then photographs them as they disappear back into nature. The students were then sent to the Park River on campus to find, and later identify in the library, suitable natural elements. Each student proceeded to make three works of art, documented with photos (some of the works were quite creative as you can see).
This coming academic year, I am organizing an eco-arts festival that will help the region celebrate its local waterways through the arts. The 12-month program of exhibitions, conferences, films, and ecological projects will begin here at the University on Monday with the new "Our Campus, Our Planet" initiative. As part of this one-day environmental-awareness program, I will take a group of just-arrived new students down to the river, where they, too, will be introduced to Goldsworthy's artistic principles and encouraged to turn elements of nature into their own artistic creations.
I am running a Humanities Center seminar this year under the topic, Ecological Perspectives. A group of 14 honors students will take this course over both semesters. Additional plans for the year ahead include a winter conference focusing on the Park River that flows through campus and an eco-themed public lecture series during the spring.

INDIAN WELLS, California (Reuters) - Roger Federer applauded Thursday's announcement that tennis will introduce biological passports for players and urged the sport to make the ATP Tour "as clean as it possibly can be" with a broad approach.
Earlier in the day, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) also said it would increase the number of blood tests done each year under its anti-doping program in the wake of several high-profile cases in other sports.
"That's good news," 17-times grand slam winner Federer said at the BNP Paribas Open.
"I think tennis has done a good job of trying everything to be as clean as possible but we are entering a new era. Everything is becoming more professional with more money involved.
"We just need to make sure from our side that we are doing everything we can and for that reason we need the players to engage in this process. We have to do everything to ensure our tour is as clean as it possibly can be."
Federer and many of his peers have been prominent in calling for tennis to up anti-doping measures, especially following the admission in January by seven-times Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong that he doped throughout his cycling career.
"The cycling issue has been around for quite some time but what surfaced this year obviously was super extreme," Federer said. "And that really gets you thinking that we just have to make sure that we do everything we possibly can."
According to figures on the ITF website (www.itftennis.com), the governing body carried out only 21 out-of-competition blood tests in the professional game in 2011.
Cycling's governing body, the UCI, carried out more than 3,314 out-of-competition blood tests in the same year.
"Things changed around," Federer said of the procedure of out-of-competition blood tests in tennis. "Before it was like, 'Okay, where are you going to be?'
"Now it's like, 'Where are you going to be for that one hour during the day, you have to give them everything, all your details and that stuff. It took some getting used to."
However, Federer said he wanted blood testing to be more democratic as well as more frequent.
"Last year, through the Dubai, Rotterdam and Indian Wells swing where I won all three tournaments, I didn't get tested once. And that shouldn't be okay," the 31-year-old Swiss said.
"You've just got to go test those guys who are doing really, really well anyways but also in the Challenger levels, in the first rounds, so that nobody really falls through.
"It's important that everybody falls into the same string - ATP, ITF, WADA, whoever else is involved, the players, the officials, everybody needs to understand that this is really important for the integrity."
A biological passport is an electronic document containing test results collated over time that can be used to detect changes that might indicate doping.

I spend a fair amount of time criticizing companies for their anti-consumer behavior. And they usually deserve it.
But let's face it: sometimes customers have it coming.
Not every person who darkens the door of a business is playing with a full deck, as they say.
Let's go straight to the tape.
1. The most embarrassing phone call from a customer, ever
(The most embarrasing phone call from a customer ever, by SuperLaughHard)
Next time you're tempted to make a call to customer service because of what you feel is a defective product, open the entire box and examine everything. This guy didn't (warning: heavy accent). He complains. And complains. And complains. And then he realizes … well, watch it for yourself. Moral of the story: Be sure the product is defective before you pick up the phone to gripe about it.
2. Your money's no good here
(How to Deal With a Declined Credit Card as a Waiter, by expertvillage)
Next time you go out for dinner, make sure you have enough money to pay for it. The customer in this training video doesn't, which makes the video necessary. It shouldn't be. (In fairness, sometimes the restaurant's payment systems are at fault, and if that's the case, there really isn't much you can do about it).
3. The food here is terrible
(Gordon argues with awkward customer, by KitchenNightmares)
Here's the thing: If the food is awful at a restaurant, then 1) don't eat it, and 2) make sure the TV cameras are turned off. This customer did neither and instead of getting a free meal, which appeared to be her motivation, she got stared down by the chef, who called her "an old bag." All in all, a less-than-ideal dining experience, wouldn't you say?
4. Another dumb customer
(Dumb People: "Dumb Customer" by PanicMonkeyProd)
Some customers are just unreasonable, and when they make demands, an employee has no choice but to call security. This staged video shows an absurd example – someone who is trying to return Legos. Used Legos. Is that an exaggeration? Maybe a little. But if you've ever worked on the other side of the counter, you know that it's not much of one. Customers often don't think before they make a request, or demand.
5. No, we don't reserve movies
(Stupid Customers 2 (1991) by cadabrketish)
This 1991 classic, revived here for your viewing pleasure, makes a good point about company policy, and about persistent customers. If someone takes the time to explain company policy, chances are they're not going to change it for you because you asked about it repeatedly, ad nauseum. Can you blame the employee for losing it at the end? I can't.
Parting shot: Think before you complain about a product. The product may be fine. The problem might be you.

Jack Adams
Hereford, midfielder, senior
Big. Strong. Fast. Those are the three words Hereford coach Brian King used to describe his All-Metro first-team standout. Adams, who finished with 25 goals and 37 assists last season, sets the tone with hard work in practice and precise play in games. His team-first approach makes teammates around him that much more effective.
Teddy Chase
Winters Mill, midfielder, senior
A four-year starter and two-year captain, the long-pole midfielder is a disruptive force that opposing attacks try to avoid. It's easier said than done. Last season, he wreaked havoc all over the field for the Class 3A-2A state semifinalists, scooping up 98 ground balls and causing 68 turnovers.
Ben Chisolm
South River, attackman, senior
A relentless approach to the ball, followed by an explosive first step and a quick and accurate shot make Chisolm one of the area's most dangerous finishers. The All-Metro second-team selection, who scored 63 goals to lead the Seahawks to a Class 4A-3A state title last year, will be leaned on heavily for more goals and leadership this season.
Garrett Epple
Calvert Hall, defenseman, senior
The All-Metro second-team pick and four-year starter fits the description of a shutdown defenseman for the Cardinals. He's strong, fast and smart. The defending MIAA A Conference champions lean heavily on Epple to anchor the defense and jump-start the team in transition.
Austin Frederick
McDonogh, midfielder, senior
Every successful team has a player who brings extra energy, intensity and leadership. Frederick, an All-Metro second-team choice last season, cherishes that role for the Eagles. He also brings exceptional skills and field sense, which helped him to a 32-goal, 15-assist performance as a junior.
Carson Kalama
Bel Air, attackman, senior
On top of his staggering offensive numbers — 55 goals and 46 assists last season — the four-year starter excels at doing the little things that add up to wins for the Bobcats. With a tenacious approach and a keen sense of the game, Kalama knows how to make the needed play in the biggest moments.
Stephen Kelly
Calvert Hall, midfielder, senior
It takes a while to count all the ways Kelly impacts a game for the No. 1 Cardinals. The two-time All-Metro selection, a four-year starter, dominates on faceoffs (74 percent last year), scores goals (21), dishes out assists (18), scoops up ground balls (181) and brings fierce competitiveness that's difficult to match.
Devin McNamara
Loyola, attackman, senior
As one of only two returning starters for the Dons, the dynamic All-Metro first-team selection will be leaned on heavily this year. Last season, McNamara (41 goals, 31 assists) used his quickness and stick skills to separate from opposing defensemen and then score or assist.
Mac Pons
Boys' Latin, defenseman, senior
The four-year starter, who earned All-Metro first-team honors last season, brings a wealth of experience, versatility and skill as one of the area's most complete defensemen. Pons can take out the opponents' top scoring threat, help others on defense and is excellent on ground balls and getting the Lakers in transition.
Shack Stanwick
Boys' Latin, attackman, junior
When the ball is in his stick, Stanwick orchestrates the Lakers' formidable attack. An All-Metro second-team choice last year, he knows when to dodge and when to pass the ball to help the offense. Last season, he finished with 24 goals and 47 assists.

In a weekend characterized by NFL upsets and comebacks, Marc Tremain and the Mountain Creek park crew were staging a comeback of their own for the TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm presented by Skullcandy. Last season Mother Nature threw an upset of her own on Tremain's park build and dropped the deepest snow accumulation of the season for the morning of the TransAm in New Jersey. This season she was looking to do the same with warm temperatures and a heavy down pour of rain the night before the event. Tremain had a different game plan in mind and was focused on staging a comeback after last year's upset. After setting and resetting several features during the onslaught of weather, he gathered his team and huddled over buckets of salt solidifying his statement of features to improve upon last season.
The Skullcandy Cassette Tape was set sideways for riders to jump over. It left some guessing speed either coming up short or missing a hand plant and diving over the cassette like a goal line attempt to put points on the board. The snow was soft, but with the trade off of cushioned landings came the slag on speed for a clean take off into the feature. Speed and what route to take did not seem to affect Brandon Schmidt, who took home Zumiez Best Trick honors. Schmidt took advantage of the transition at the Coal Combo feature that had an up tube on one side of a pyramid formation into a down bar on the opposite side. He bypassed taking run at the rails and used the corner of the feature to throw a double front flip. Miles Fallon was on the offensive throughout the day especially on the Giro Creeper feature that had a flat box top on top and flat rails on the sides. Fallon turned heads with his fancy footwork in the pocket and his peers voted him most valuable rider to take home the Muscle Milk Rider's Choice Award.
Bekah Ashley was able to use every opening in the field to her advantage and made quick work of getting over the Zumiez Couch into the down rail that followed. Ashley took home top honors for the gals with her consistent play. Brett Stewart used the run and gun approach to his riding. He sent it big off the Muscle Milk Tower of Triumph that was set up as a pole jam into the fence pieces that followed. Stewart used the air and jib feature to take home top honors for the guys. Nick Nolan got pitted in the Sanuk standing wave feature and kept his eyes on the opening at the end of the wave. The curling wall of snow stood almost double overhead for Nolan who earned himself the Pint Sized Ripper Award. Julia Norman got buck wild on the Ride Snowboards feature. In fact, she was bucked so hard after catching her toe side edge on the Wild West bar top jib that she dove head first to catch the Best Crash Award. Matt Behre stood out amongst the field taking an end around approach to the Anon Optics Tube Jib and highlighting his run at second place.
Riders reveled of the day's events over pizza at the wrap up party. First place winners were given Ride Snowboards, Anon goggles, custom TransAm Skullcandy Aviator and Cassette Headphones, and flight vouchers to finals at Park City from Zumiez. Other winners also grabbed Zumiez gift cards, custom backpacks from High Cascade Snowboard Camp, custom TransAm Skullcandy Cassette Headphones, custom TransAm Coal Beanies, Giro Helmets, and Wend Wax. Miles Fallon was awarded 200 dollars from Muscle Milk for the Rider's Choice Award and Brandon Schmidt pocketed 500 dollars in Zumiez gift card money for the Zumiez Best Trick Award. The biggest plays of the day from the top winners were summed up when they raised the coveted TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm Epiphone heavy metal guitars over their heads. The playable trophies are engraved with the TransAm logo and stop location. Great players, rockers, and riders can all be characterized by their consummate creativity. What the future holds for the TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm Tour is anyone's guess, but Seven Springs, Pennsylvania will soon tell the tale.

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."

Women and Gender Studies Department
Women and Gender Studies is a relatively new field of study, having been introduced in the 1970s in response to the women's movement of the sixties, which asked that higher education integrate the study of women and gender into the curriculum. Women and Gender Studies at Hunter College is an interdisciplinary academic department that seeks to preserve, expand, and share knowledge about women and gender. The department's mission is to re-examine the historical record to make visible women's contributions to the world's knowledge and cultures. It aims, through a focus on women's experiences, to open fresh perspectives throughout the curriculum. The Women and Gender Studies Department seeks to create an understanding of the ways in which gender intersects with race, religion, class, ethnicity, ability,and sexual orientation to shape all human experience, including the pursuit of learning. As an ever-evolving and dynamic field of study, Women and Gender Studies offers a wide variety of courses. This is possible because of the large number of cross-listed courses that the department shares with many departments throughout the college.
Resource Room
Women and Gender Studies Resource room and library (HW 1736) is open to all women and gender studies students to use. Students are welcome to use the space for meetings, group discussions, or to chill out between classes. There is a computer and printer available for limited use. Please do not take books out of the WGS library. Please respect the space and keep it clean.
As of Wednesday, January 28, 2015, Women and Gender Studies is officially a department. Thirty-five (35) years after its creation, the Women and Gender Studies Program at Hunter, former women's college, and one of the largest degree-granting entities of its kind in the country was unanimously voted by the Hunter College Senate to become a department. Wednesday, October 23, 2013, was a historic day! We want to express our deepest gratitude to so many of you who have struggled with us for so many years to achieve the stability and recognition we deserve at Hunter.

NoodleTools: It's Not About Pasta
Changes in the research process in the past decade might make what your child is doing look foreign to you. For instance, almost every 3rd to 12th Grade research project has a NoodleTools element. What is NoodleTools, you ask? It is online software that supports all aspects of the research project, from organizing sources to note-taking to a final bibliography or works cited. The librarians have worked with the teachers to integrate this online tool to make the process collaborative and much easier than when we were all in school.
by Elisabeth Abarbanel and Yapha Mason, Librarians
In the Lower Division, our students start to cite their sources using NoodleTools in 3rd Grade. They learn the basics of citation with one book from their ocean animal report. In 4th through 6th Grade they are expected to cite all of their sources, and they learn the different pieces of information needed when it is a book, encyclopedia, web site, interview, or even an iPad app. Ms. Mason works with the students on how valuable it is to keep track of the sources used, and the best ways to accomplish this. We teach the MLA format for citing at Brentwood School, preparing the Lower Division students for their research on the East Campus.
On the East Campus, all 7th graders receive an introduction to citing using NoodleTools. They can then start taking notes using the online notecard feature, which is required in 8th and 9th Grade. Imagine typing your notecards and storing them in "the cloud" where they can't be lost or left at home by mistake, and are never too messy to read. Students invite their teachers to access their work cited lists and notecards, and the teachers can comment online to offer help and dialog about the process. When working on group projects, students can also collaborate with each other in NoodleTools.
As the research process gets more complex, students learn more and more citing and note-taking tips. Have you ever had to cite a YouTube video or a Tweet? Brentwood students graduate feeling confident they can cite any piece of information, regardless of the format. The students don't have to worry about the particular punctuation or format of the work cited list (NoodleTools does it for you), and can use their time instead to think critically about the research. Already a scholar's dream, NoodleTools is going through an update this summer and it should be even easier to keep track of sources and information in the fall.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact Elisabeth Abarbanel (East Campus) or Yapha Mason (West Campus) or look at our NoodleTools online help here: http://bwscampus.libguides.com/NoodleTools

I am glad to announce that Bryan Singer has chosen to shoot EPIC for his next feature " JACK THE GIANT KILLER "
Bryan.. floor is yours.
I am glad to announce that Bryan Singer has chosen to shoot EPIC for his next feature " JACK THE GIANT KILLER "
Bryan.. floor is yours.
I'm very much looking forward to using the EPIC Red for my next movie "Jack the Giant Killer" which will be shot in, what else, 3D. The camera's incredibly compact size and extraordinary resolution are ideal for the 3D format.
But more importantly "Jack the Giant Killer" is my first movie set in a time before electricity. The EPIC's extraordinary exposure latitude will allow me to more effectively explore the use of natural light.
best xmas present ever....
Bryan! Welcome to the forums. Huge fan of yours since Usual Suspects. USC Critical Studies for the win!
You guys are on some sort of roll, one huge picture after another. Congrats on the well-deserved success. I think 3D will push the industry entirely to digital sooner rather than later, so it's the right place to focus resources, camera and workflow-wise.
Kind of awestruck Bryan Singer posted here. X-Men 2 was pretty much awesome. (Usual Suspects was okay, too...)
heh heh heh.. Thanks for taking the time to stop in Bryan.. now go enjoy your holidays!
Very cool
This is pretty insane... Congrats to everyone at Red!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Great news! Welcome to forum Bryan and solid choice going EPIC, happy holiday folks! :)
Congrats RED! We're going to be knee deep in EPIC films in no time...

An offender with a hoard of stolen goods was snared after he tried to sell some of his ill-gotten gains on ebay.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Monday, April 14, how Andrew Gibbs, 20, of Springfield Crescent, Bolsover, had cheaply bought stolen goods including £4,823 of musical equipment, two sets of golf clubs, a lawn mower and a tool box.
Prosecuting solicitor Ian Shaw said: "One of the sets of clubs was advertised on ebay and the owner of the stolen clubs recognised them and the police were contacted and visited Gibbs' address where a number of stolen items were recovered. Cannabis was also recovered that day worth £10. During a further visit more property was recovered and this was also identified as stolen."
Gibbs pleaded guilty to four counts of handling stolen goods, between June and September, including the musical equipment belonging to Oliver Parker, golf clubs belonging to Lee Walton, another set of clubs belonging to Ben Slack, and a lawn mower and tool box belonging to Wesley Childerly. Gibbs also pleaded guilty to possessing a class B drug.
Mr Shaw said there had been a spate of vehicle break-ins and the two thieves who sold the goods to Gibbs have been convicted separately.
Philip Bloore, defending, said: "A particular concern was the musical equipment which is specialised and Gibbs had no idea what it was used for. Police told Gibbs there had been a reward for the return of the goods and he could have taken that."
Mr Bloore added Gibbs has a cannabis problem and has sought medical help. District Judge Andrew Davison sentenced Gibbs to a one-year community order with 160 hours' unpaid work and supervision. He was ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

I love Fall - it's my favorite season. One of the things I loved seeing at CHA was a new color palette that seemed to emerge among companies for this season, a more subtle approach. I combined several of my favorites to create this month's JBS Mercantile Papercrafting Kit and I LOVE it. I think you will too. . .
Layout by Lisa Dickinson
(Check out this month's exclusive stamp too - so many possibilities with this one). . .
This month's Project Kit is a sweet mini album (loved working with this unique size - long and thin) with subtle details and lots of texture and sparkle. Putting it together is a breeze.. .
The Artisan Add-On Kit this month is full of extra details, including a wonderful Bingo Card Stencil from Crafter's Workshop (I couldn't resist it) . . .
Layout by Megan Klauer
And I must say, this month's Antiquarian Add -On Kit is my favorite yet. It has some really beautiful items that I have been holding on to for a while including the "Mucilage" label and the hard to find Pumpkin seed packets. I just recently found the blueprint pages (found an old notebook full of them). I had a hard time parting with these!
Layout by Doris Sander
Also, for the month of October only we have two new special sale items! Die Cut Journaling Card Pads are only $.99 and Classic Red and Black Coredinations Cardstock Pads are half price at $7.50. Get them while you can!
Everything goes up tonight at 12:00 midnight!!!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The residents and business owners of lower Manhattan who have lost their electricity this week are beginning to adjust to life in an unfamiliar place: "Blackout City."
It is a largely quiet place, empty of the crowds that would normally gather to shop, eat, and work there, patrolled by slow-moving police cars with flashing lights and peopled by the lonely bicyclist or dog-walker.
Cars pause at most small intersections and line up to cross the large avenues where a steady stream of traffic moves, unbroken by any lights. There is plenty of parking, because few people want to hang around.
Inside as well as out, it is a chilly place. Hot showers and cable TV are a dream for people living in darkened apartments, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and canned beans. "Blackout City" dwellers are unable to connect with their friends and relatives elsewhere, as the power outage has cut most cell phone reception.
Most important to the restaurants and grocery stores was the food that would soon begin to spoil in idle refrigerators.
"We're about to buy a couple of grills and start cooking food and giving it away," said Shane McBride, chef for the tony SoHo restaurant Balthazar as he directed staff on the sidewalk outside. "But our first priority is to get everything clean."
Like nearly all businesses and homes in the lower part of Manhattan island, Balthazar lost power late on Monday after damage from the giant storm Sandy triggered an explosion in a Consolidated Edison power station on 14th Street. The power company has said it could take four days to restore electricity to the area.
The storm, which killed 64 people, knocked out power for millions and crippled transportation systems along the U.S. East Coast, left a foot of water in Balthazar's basement, which McBride and his crew were in the process of cleaning out. He said the roughly $70,000 worth of food in the freezers was still good because of dry ice, but time was running out.
"Our goal is not to let any of the food go to waste," said Erin Wendt, Balthazar's general manager.
On the second full day of the power outage, business owners in "Blackout City" were beginning to assess the damage to their stores and try to reopen, even without power.
Two retail workers crouched in the dark in an OMG Jeans clothing store on Seventh Avenue and 22nd Street. They had been told to open the store and write down any purchases in a ledger - cash only as they had no way to take credit card payments. At 10 a.m. (1400 GMT), they had not made any sales and were hoping to persuade the store's owner to close the shop.
A worker in a locksmith's shop a few blocks away had a similar story after opening for business. She said she could not operate any of the key-making equipment without power and was considering closing again.
On Varick Street in the Tribeca neighborhood, four people loaded food from a darkened McDonald's into an SUV.
The owner of the Gourmet Deli, a corner store on Seventh Avenue and 17th Street, said he was planning on shipping back spoiled food in his store to the distributor, who would reimburse him.
But the man, who declined to identify himself, said he stood to lose business while waiting for the power to return, adding that most of his customers on Tuesday and Wednesday only wanted coffee.
One of the customers, Toby Ludwig, said he was tired of staying in his nearby apartment without power and was heading to his father's house in Pennsylvania. He said he had been charging his cell phone in his car and had let neighbors do so as well.
On a shady block of Charles Street in the West Village, Eileen Robert was sweeping up leaves in front of the brownstone where she has lived for 23 years. She said she has never seen such an extended blackout.
"It's pitch black at night and I've been afraid to walk my dog," She said. "It's so eerie."
Unlike the blackout that struck New York City in 2003, this time there are no neighbors hanging out on stoops or restaurants opening their doors in the dark.
Robert, a senior vice president and director of townhouse sales at the Corcoran Group real estate firm, said she decided to stay to protect her house instead of going to stay with her daughter who lives further uptown.
"I want to be here in case anything happens," said Robert, whose office is without power and closed.
A few doors up the street was a man who offered a different take on the situation in lower Manhattan.
"It's great," said Tony Villamena, who lives in Brooklyn, where there is power, and has been working on a renovation job on Charles Street.
"It's good to be reminded that not too long ago we lived without electricity."
Villamena said there wasn't much work he could do without power, but he was enjoying the quiet. It reminded him of his time living on the Navajo Indian Reservation outside of Flagstaff, Arizona.
"I liked living there - no power, no plumbing," he said.
Another example of the throwback to earlier times is the importance of radios, which provide the main source of real-time news and information, such as school closings and updates on the city's transit system.
On Tuesday night, music floated out of the tiny speaker of a hand-cranked radio behind the bar at 2A, an East Village bar. Every so often, the radio went silent and had to be wound up again.
Dim light from a row of candles on the bar flickered. Conversation focused on the storm and the task of getting through the day without power. A customer came in with plastic bags to carry ice from the bar to his refrigerator at home.
Nearby, the Dorian Gray had fired up a generator. A neighbor convinced the bar's staff to let him run a line to his refrigerator. A small group of people waited outside hoping for ice.

Hamilton Ordean Risetter, great grandson of Mari (Iversdatter Nord-Skaar) and Ole Finnestad Sr was born in May 1910 to Clara Olette "Lettie" (Finnestad) and Christopher H Risetter.
Hamilton married Kathryn King, most likely in September 1945 as the Dixon Telegraph newspaper had an announcement of an engagement or a marriage in their September 19, 1945 edition.
Hamilton passed away in May 1969. Kathryn was born in 1914 and passed away in 1971 and was buried at the First Lutheran Cemetery in Lee county, Illinois next to her husband.
Here is a photo of the Risetter plot.

Custom Fantastic Print Design Umbrella Auto Open/Close
This is a really fun umbrella for the fashion styles enthusiast in your life. It has a beautiful button you push when extending the umbrella up and out, that locks into place at the top. The hook handle gives it an easier hold.
I love this umbrella! The only complaint I have is the handle come loose easily. Like it screws on, and comes unscrewed/untightened easily. I just have to tighten it back occasionally while I'm using it and it's fine. But other than that I love it! I'm 20 and this is the first umbrella I've ever got or really even used for that matter. I had to go on a trip out to Maryland, and it rains alot, and I'm from the desert so I don't really use umbrellas. So for my first umbrella, it does the job and is really cool with the design on it! I got alot of compliments on the design! 🙂

This combination causes the inks to be converted from a solid to a gaseous state enabling them to penetrate the material so that a permanent, full colour image is formed.
