Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsWorlds largest hill in Vikersund (NOR) The Vikersund Ski Flying hill is now officially the world's largest Ski Jumping facility. The host venue of the 2012 FIS Ski Flying World Championships staged its first World Cup competitions on the new hill as a final test event for the athletes before the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2011 in Oslo. Built according to the latest standards and specifications the new hill received excellent feedback from the world's best jumpers. Johan Remen Evensen, the new Norwegian ski jumping star, who set the new world record of 246.5 m right on the first day of training, commented: "The hill here is great, probably the best ski flying hill in the world." Robert Kranjec, another of world's best ski fliers also paid a big compliment to the organizers in Vikersund. "The hill is very modern and it's safer because there you are about three times as high in the air at 170 m. Here you always have contact with the landing area", said the Slovene to the website siol.net. "Planica is also safe," Kranjec said about his home hill, "but the flight is steadier here. The Norwegians built a great ski flying hill." For more information visit www.fisskijumping.com |

We romance readers take a lot of heat for our love of the genre, and now there is a book that proves all those critics wrong - Everything I Know about Love I Learned from Romance Novels by Sarah Wendell. This book was a stitch! Co-founder of one of the top romance blogs, SmartBitchesTrashyBooks.com, Sarah combines her own views, quotes from famous authors, and from romance readers like us to explain why the romance genre is so popular – to the tune of over a billion dollars annually.
To save more than $60,000 a year and to provide better service, the Fond du Lac Public Library is becoming an independent, standalone library. The library has been a member of the Winnefox Library Automated System, but this year the library board determined that the $103,000 annual Winnefox price tag was not providing good value to Fond du Lac city taxpayers.
Job searching these days can create a difficult Catch 22: Many employers only list and accept applications online, but many job seekers are without a home computer or even computer skills.
It starts earlier every year, so it's no wonder that months of holiday spending can create financial worries. Money Smart U is offering, Managing Holiday Spending (and Stress) on Tuesday, November 8, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the library's McLane Room in the lower level.
Paranormal explorer Curt Strutz, cast member of the cable show, "Paranormal Generation," will present an exciting program rich in history, storytelling and personal experiences to set the mood for Halloween. "Visiting the Beyond" will be offered at 6:30 p.m. Monday, October 24, at the Fond du Lac Public Library. The program is recommended for teens and adults.
Pets have always been an important part of my life; over the course of my life I've had lots of fish, a guinea pig, a rabbit and dogs. I currently have a cat. For me these creatures are like family and I like to learn the best ways to train, feed, and care for them. The library has tons of books on pet care. Here are three that I find particularly useful:
The Fond du Lac Public Library now has Kindle e-books for borrowing. For many months, the library has had e-books compatible with other formats, but it wasn't until September 21, 2011 that Amazon entered into a partnership with OverDrive Media, the program used by libraries across the United States.
Dress up your dog, cat, ferret, turtle, wombat – anything goes – in his best Green Bay Packers finery and parade around the library (or inside, if weather is uncooperative) at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 15.
Prizes for Best Use of Green and Gold, Most Like Lombardi and Most Enthusiastic Fan (pet, that is).
Wisconsin is in a state of sports nirvana. The Packers and Badgers are undefeated, and the Brewers are battling the Diamondbacks in the playoffs.

Hi guys! This is my first post here. I've been reading the posts around the board for a while and decided to sign up and introduce myself. This year will be my third stagecoach, and if it's anything like the first two years, it'll be the party of the year. Anyways, after making the SC web gallery with my horribly cheap improvised beer box hat in 2010, I figured I'd need to step my game up again and make something awesome. Here's what I came up with
Hope to see you all around the campgrounds, and if you see me in International stop by and play a game of bags or flipcup!

Sette Signature Full Finger Glove
The Sette Signature Gloves provide a nice strong grip that will give you the confidence to go for the big jumps.
I bought these when they were on sale due to the low cost and I was surprised. They are a decent glove, fit my hand well and have lasted a long time. If you are looking for a decent low cost full finger glove and can get them when they are on sale, do it.
These gloves fell apart after just a short time of use. I recommend the Fox Reflex gloves. Much better quality for the price.


text: trans-form | magazine london | 2001 Trans-form, Trans-it, trans-port.org is a self-initiated Architecture, Art and Design publication by FL@33. This award-winning first issue is a conceptual project based on an everyday observation of tower cranes combining a magazine, a CD-Rom and a website. The project was made public in July 2001 during the Royal College of Art, master degree Show in London. [320x500mm, portrait; uncoated stock: challenger offset 190g; wire stitched; limited edition: 1.000] TRANS-FORM is a large scale magazine exploring the magic of urban sculptures which appear and disappear in the cities we are living in. Tower cranes which are lifting, transporting, re-constructing, drawing, cutting, dancing, performing, communicating and 'trans-forming' are usually unnoticed by the public's eye. We present information about tower cranes and crane operators' daily work in the sky. TRANS-IT, the attached CD-Rom [PC+ Mac], adds videos and animations combining industrial structures with natural imagery. The CD is presenting a cityscape metamorphosis and defines our cities as being in a 'larval stage'. TRANS-PORT.ORG, the website is a playful and informative art site. It offers you the possibility to 'build your own crane', to 'climb' a tower crane and to 'be a crane operator'. The Launch issue of Trans-form, Trans-it, www.trans-port.org has been presented and mentioned in many periodicals and was selected for inclusion in publications such as I.D. Magazine 'Design Review 2002', D&AD's (British Design & Art Direction) Annual 2002 [in the categories 'Complete Magazine Design', 'Illustration'], 'GB - Graphic Britain' [Laurence King Publishing, 2002] and 'Colossal Design' [How Design Books, 2003], Basic Design: Format [AVA Books, 2004], besides many others. ***

A Christmas Carol at Bruce Ariss Wharf Theater

- Where: Bruce Ariss Wharf Theater, Monterey
- Cost: $10 - $25
- Age limit: Not available
- Categories: Theater
What better way to get into the Christmas spirit with the story of a dead guy coming back to deliver a biting indictment of 19th-century industrial capitalism. And when left to the devices of Charles Dickens, who watched the customs of Christmas cards and carols evolve in Britain after a 200-year hibernation (such festivities were banned by Oliver Cromwell in 1649), the commentary is still sassy. But if reading dense Dickensian writing isn't how you'd most like to absorb the cheer, try the festive theatrical version. MPC's interpretation trades old-fashioned garb for contemporary costumes and figures of speech, making this production an especially relatable retelling of Ebenezer Scrooge's personal transformation. [SR]

Subaru Big-Tube Equal Length Header
Subaru Big-Tube Equal Length Header |
Equal Length DesignThe equal length design of the PERRIN header, produces smoother more balanced exhaust pulses flow from the head to the turbocharger giving you the best of two worlds. Quicker turbo response as well as more horsepower and torque throughout the entire RPM band. While designed to fit to the factory up-pipe, our header will mate with an OEM or aftermarket up-pipe, as well as any rotated turbo kits compatible with the factory header. |
SizingYou wont see grossly, way over sized tubing to make our header LOOK better. That just slows down exhaust gases and looses response. The PERRIN Big Tube header uses 1.625" primary tubing that fits the Subaru exhaust port size. Our larger diameter header was designed for cars making 500+ wheel HP to not sacrifice low end power on cars with big aftermarket turbos installed. For those looking for more HP from their stock turbo to slightly upgraded turbo, we suggest to look at our Regular WRX/STI equal length header. |
FlangesPERRIN Flanges are CNC machined from 304 stainless steel and counterbored on the back side to make smoother transitions. Flange ports sized properly to ensure exhaust coming out of the head has a smooth unobstructed path to the tubes. The ports are not over ported which causes gaskets to burn out quickly. |
SoundBecause of it equal length design, the PERRIN header will alter the tone of your exhaust. The exhaust pulses from the engine are equalized and spread out producing a smoother, more refined sound. Some describe the sound to be EVO like similar to an inline four cylinder engine exhaust.» Listen to the difference |
Oil PanMost headers collect on the passenger side of the engine, and due to space constraints, are not equal length, compromising exhaust flow. Because we use the added room provided by the oil pan (only on 2.5L turbo pans), we can create a smooth transition of the header primaries to the collectors, and collectors to up-pipe, providing more power and torque then the competition. See our install kits here. |
Jeff's BlogRead Jeff Perrin's blog and lear why the big tube header was made and why it performance great. See it compared to our regular header and why you will need it for your big turbo kit.» Learn More |

Oneida Healthcare nurse charged after unlawfully removing medication from hospital(UPDATE)
ONEIDA >> A Canastota man was arrested Wednesday after an investigation revealed he unlawfully removed prescription drugs from Oneida Healthcare while working there.
Louis V. Varre II, 37, of State Street in Canastota, was charged with: seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, first-degree falsifying business records, a class E felony; and prohibited acts under the public health law.
Oneida City Police report that while working as a registered nurse in the emergency department at Oneida Healthcare, Varre allegedly removed and possessed a schedule II controlled substance unlawfully and made false entries to withdraw the controlled substance.
He also failed to document use of the substances in an effort to conceal the unlawful removal.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, drugs that typically fall in the scheduled II category include: Methadone, oxycodone and codeine.
Information regarding what or how much Varre allegedly removed from the pharmacy was not available in time for this report.
Jay Kohlbrenner, vice president of clinical services at Oneida Healthcare said that the pharmacy department at the hospital closely monitors all medicines that go in and out of the pharmacy.
As soon as a discrepancy was noticed last week, the hospital immediately called the state Department of Health, she said.
After an investigation the state Department of Health Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement found evidence of pharmacy tampering, and then asked Oneida City Police for help with the arrest.
Varre was issued a ticket to appear in Oneida City Court on Feb. 22. Continued...
"It happened that quickly," Kohlbrenner said, adding that there has not been any evidence to suggest inadequate patient care on Varre's part.
The state Department of Health investigation is ongoing.
Varre is currently suspended without pay from Oneida Healthcare. He started working at the hospital in October 2012, officials said.
Kohlbrenner said that at the hospital, "there are checks and balances" to make sure these types of incidents don't happen.
"Those processes worked," she said, "the moment we saw something we acted."

Let's not draw any conclusions just yet - we don't know if this was human error or systems failure.
My thoughts are with the family of the person who has lost their life in this awful incident... as well as the poor train driver who had absolutely no chance to avoid it...
Hello. Ollie here until 22:00. The line is closed between #Taunton & Castle Cary due to earlier level crossing incident. Other routes okay.
— @FGW 21 March 2013
THE destroyed vehicle is removed from the scene.
THE full length of the train which struck the car this morning.
THE scene where the train and car came to rest.
Senior Fire Commander Paul Cregan said: "This incident was a significant challenge causing a number of dangerous and difficult circumstances for our Fire & Rescue crews.
"The train struck the vehicle and then carried it along the tracks eventually stopping over a mile from the crossing.
"Firefighters had to run to the scene carrying equipment to deal with the person trapped in the car, deal with the very real risk of a fire occurring as well as dealing with nearly 40 people on the train in terrible weather conditions.
"Each member of the emergency services did their task exceptionally well and together, as a multi agency team, we resolved the incident thankfully without significant injury or disruption to those involved."
Incident Commander Mark Andrews said: "Our crews from Taunton, Bridgwater, Street, Middlemoor , Wiveliscombe, Wellington and Burnham worked exceptionally hard under difficult conditions to deal with the incident.
"Without their quick response and that of our emergency service partners, the incident could have been much worse.
"My thanks go to our Police colleagues in Avon & Somerset Constabulary, British Transport Police and South Western Ambulance Service as well as the local community for their work, support and patience during this incident."

#Taunton. Owing to a problem at a level crossing near Taunton, all lines are still blocked. Expect delays of up to 90 minutes
— @FGW 21 March 2013
KYLE Millett, from Wellington, was also on the train destined for a meeting in London.
He said: "We boarded at about 6.12am. We set off on time.
"A few minutes later we heard a few bumps and the train came to a stop.
"Staff told us there was an incident. The driver looked very shocked and he was with the emergency services. I think he was OK.
"I have to give compliments to the staff because they looked after us very well with food and drinks.
"The worst thing was not knowing what had happened initially. As soon as it happened I could smell diesel from the car. It was an ordeal."
ANOTHER passenger, Lucy Johnson, has praised the actions of the train staff.
She said: "We were very well looked-after. Our thoughts are with the victim and the train driver."
MICHAEL Haley, from Monksilver, was a passenger on the train and regularly makes the journey from his home to London.
He said: "There was a bang. You could tell there was some impact and clattering.
"You could tell the brakes were on and it came to a halt about a quarter of a mile later. It was a sad thing to happen."
FOOTAGE from the railway tracks near the level crossing:
ONE of the train drivers who was in the cab at the time of the collision has disembarked at Taunton Railway Station.
STUART Lambert, from Taunton, was on the train.
He said: "I felt a slight shudder, that was the first I knew and then we were told a car had skipped the level crossing.
"The train company were awesome. They looked after us really well."
Mr Lambert said he was on the train for five hours.

INVESTIGATIONS into how the car came to be struck by the train are focussing on why the vehicle was on the track at the half-barrier crossing on the Somerset Levels.
PASSENGERS on the 5.46am service from Exeter to London are expected to disembark from the train at Taunton in the next 10 minutes.
Those who boarded at Exeter will have been on the train for more than six hours. First Great Western staff have been offering passengers tea and coffee in the first class carriage since the incident at 6.30am.
VIDEO footage from the scene of the crash:
CAROLINE Hall, who lives next to the scene, said: "There was just a bang and the train did not stop.
"It just didn't sound right. My husband went out to see what happened and I called the police straightaway.
"There was lots of debris."
THE County Gazette understands the passengers on the train are now being taken back to Taunton train station to disembark.
We will bring you the latest from passengers who were on board the train as soon as we have it.

This is one of those crossings where the barriers only cover half the road so its still possible to drive across if they are down always thought it is dangerous
OUR reporters and photographers are at the scene of the incident, near to where the passengers are expected to disembark.
For the latest updates, keep checking this Live Article.
STANLEY Chedzoy of nearby Slough Court Farm at Stoke St Gregory, said: "Nothing like this has happened in my lifetime and that's 88 years.
"There used to be a gate keeper and gates so no-one could get through, but since the Beeching Report in the early 1960s that all changed and they brought the barriers in.
"I am surprised they are only the half barriers, because someone could drive around them, I have always wondered why they don't put full barriers there.
"I have always thought it is dangerous for animals, as well as people."
#Taunton. Due to a level crossing incident at Taunton. Delays of up to 90 minutes can still be expected.

ANOTHER man, who has lived next to the crossing for 20 years but declined to give his name, spoke to our reporter at the scene.
He said: "I have never seen anything like this. It is normally quite a safe crossing."
THE County Gazette understands the person who died was a man who lived locally.
NEIGHBOUR Aaron Mead, who lives about 100 yards from the crossing, said: "We heard an almighty bang in the early hours of this morning. A couple of pictures on the bedside table fell over.
"I didn't think anything of it to be honest, and then before we knew it we had endless amounts of sirens, police cards, fire engines and ambulances bombing up and down the road.
"It made me jump out of bed quite quickly.
"It's quite a tight road but there are four or five fire engines, eight or nine police cars and five or six ambulances from from what we can see on this side of the bridge."
Such sad news back home in Athelney.
— @LyndseyMayhew 21 March 2013
SPEAKING at the scene of the incident, John Allen, operations manager at First Great Western, told County Gazette reporter Daniel Milligan there were two drivers in the cab of the train.
He said: "Two people driving the carriage - they will be very distressed and we are doing all we can to help them."
JAMES Hector, owner of Willowbank Services less than a mile down the road from the scene, said: "One of my employees tried to get in from that direction and had to turn around - all the roads around the crossing are closed.
"There is a police helicopter circling and there are lots of emergency services vehicles at the scene.
"It's a very fast crossing - once the barriers go down the train is there within 30 seconds. They are half-road barriers so it would be possible to drive around them, but you would have no chance if you did.
"These roads are very dangerous at the moment. Just as during the floods, people don't taking the conditions into account on these narrow lanes."
HERE is a statement from Network Rail: "The 1A73 05.46am Exeter St Davids to Paddington service has struck a red car on the Athelney Level Crossing Automatic Half Barrier.
"The incident was reported at 06.26am.
"One fatality within the car has been confirmed."
Network Rail says nobody else was injured.
There were 45 people on the train – 37 passengers and eight train crew.
The statement adds: "The train has not derailed, and no passengers or crew were injured.
"The car is badly damaged, and is under the leading power car.
"The train driver and First Great Western staff have given a statement to British Transport Police that the barriers were lowered and the car was seen to drive onto the crossing.
"BTP report the crime scene has been deemed non-suspicious.
"Fire Brigade have begun to cut and remove the vehicle from underneath the front power car.
"Road transport has been arranged for passengers at Athelney.
"The route is currently blocked and trains are being diverted via Bristol."
BRITISH Transport Police confirms only one person was involved and they were pronounced dead at the scene.
The train was heading from Exeter to London Paddington.
Here's the scene in #Athelney where a train's hit a car. 1 person has died. Thanks to Aaron Mead for the photo 95.5FM http://t.co/JFlq4gjVVt

But I know this crossing well and it is at least as safe as the many hundreds of others - some on even faster (125mph) stretches of this line nearer London. And the loco driver cannot be in any way to blame, he had no feasible means of avoiding the collision.

"It's relaxing, it gives you time to think. It gives you a different outlook on life and the world," she said Friday. Usually not much of an outdoors person, she drew inspiration in the quiet of nature while fishing with her sister and another relative at Moore Dam last year.
This fall, when she saw the notice of the New England Outdoor Writers Association's 2013 Youth Writing Contest posted on her classroom wall, she reached back to the day of fishing.
After writing the best essay in the senior (grades 9-12) division for the state, Brown, a freshman at Lin-Wood High School in Lincoln, went on to win first place overall for New England. Alysse Cleasby, a sixth-grader at Chichester Central School, wrote the winning essay in the junior (grades 6-8) division for New Hampshire, and first place overall for New England.
Students were asked to write an essay of not more than 500 words on an outdoor activity that increased enjoyment and knowledge of nature and natural resources.
Dr. Harold Lyon, board member of NEOWA and chair of the contest, said he is very proud of the young writers, and the English teachers who encouraged them, Kate Dockham of Chichester Central School and Heather Krill of Lin-Wood High School. Lyon visited the two schools and presented the winners with certificates for the contests, and two checks each, $50 each for the state contest, and $100 each for the New England. He also gave each teacher a red rose "to acknowledge their inspiring influence behind the scenes."
Brown and Cleasby will have their essays published in a future issue of North Woods Sporting Journal (sportingjournal.com) as part of the prize package.

WILLIAMSON — Residents of the Tug Valley area are well known for their caring hearts and warm natures. When someone is in need or hurting, there is usually someone who will step forward and lend a helping hand. Although the State of Connecticut is many miles from the communities that make up Eastern Ky. and Southern WV and there's no direct connection between the two locations, a candlelight vigil was held in memory and in honor of those who so sadly lost their lives in a horrific shooting on Friday at the Sandy Hook Elementary School Monday evening in front of the Historical Coal House.
"This tragedy has really affected me," stated WV House of Delegate Justin Marcum. "I'm now the parent of a little girl and I can't even begin to imagine what these families are going through."
"I felt like we should do something to show our support for these kids whose lives ended all too soon at the hands of another as well as the teachers who died trying to protect them, so we decided to hold a candlelight vigil in their honor."
A total of 26 lives were lost in the shooting in Newtown, Conn., 20 of whom were 6-7 year-old first grade students (12 girls and 8 boys). The names and ages of those who were killed are as follows:
Charlotte Bacon, 6; Rachel D'Avino, 29; Olivia Engel, 6; Dylan Hockley, 6; Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, 47 (school principal); Jesse Lewis, 6; Ana Marquez-Greene, 6; Grace McConnell, 7; Anna Marie Murphy, 52; Emilie Parker, 6; Noah Pozner, 6; Jessica Rekos, 6; Lauren Rousseau, 30; Mary Sherlach, 56; Victoria Soto, 27; Daniel Barden, 7; Josephine Gray, 7; Madeleine Hsu, 6; Catherine Hubbard, 6; Chase Kowalski, 7; James Mattiolo, 6; Jack Pinto, 6; Carolyn Previdi, 6; Avielle Richman, 6; Benjamin Wheeler, 6; and Allison Wyatt, 6.
The perpetrator also died at the scene of a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound. Before traveling to the school where the horrific scene began to unfold, he allegedly shot and killed his mother at her residence.
Despite the less than desirable weather conditions yesterday evening, a crowd of approximately 40 people gathered for the Mingo County candlelight vigil to show respect for those lives that were cut short and to join in prayer for the numerous families that are suffering. Mingo County Commissioner Greg "Hootie" Smith and Delegate Marcum conducted the ceremony, with both public officials speaking about the senseless tragedy that has put our entire nation in a state of shock.
"These parents woke their children up Friday morning, fed them breakfast and sent them off to school, never thinking for one second that they would never again see them, hold them or have the opportunity to tell them how loved they were," commented Smith. "This should be a lesson to us all to hug our loved ones every chance we get; tell them you love them while you can because none of us have the promise of tomorrow."
"Mingo County has had its share of tragedies including floods and coal mine disasters, but we've been blessed to have never experienced anything as terrible as what these 26 families in Newtown, Connecticut are dealing with. I'm positive that the unthinkable act of losing a child in the greatest fear of every parent standing here this evening."
Several Mingo County educators were in attendance for the candlelight vigil and spoke with the Daily News about their feelings regarding this tremendous act of violence and how it affects them in their role as instructors.
Ashley White is employed as a 7th Grade English Instructor at the Lenore K-8, and remarked that one of the teachers killed during Friday's shooting was the same age as herself and said that she was amazed at the female's ability to remain calm while attempting to take measures to keep the students safe.
"Could I step up and be that brave should I ever find myself in her shoes? She told the kids to hide in the closet and in the cubbies used to store items and when the shooter demanded to know where they were, she told him they were in the gymnasium. Her efforts were in vain, and they were discovered and shot to death and she also lost her life. I have the upmost admiration and respect for the unselfish actions of all of these teachers and aids," said White.
"This tragedy had made us assess our plans of action should something similar to this occur. A school is supposed to be a safe haven for the students and when something like this happens, we realize we're not nearly as safe as we thought we were."
White stated that she did not discuss the school shooting with her students on Friday or Monday, saying that her protective mode kicked in and she just wanted to protect and shield them from this act of violence.
"I'm not a parent, but I'm extremely protective over my students and I wanted to give them a sense of normalcy and security," explained White.
Dr. Richard Duncan, the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Coordinator for Mingo County Schools, said that this occurrence makes a teacher back and up and remember all the safety training they've been provided and all of the drills they've conducted, but adds that he's sure no amount of training and participating in drills of various scenarios could ever prepare you for the real thing, and emphasized the importance of securing the facilities to prevent intruders from entering the schools undetected.
"I've got the upmost respect for the teachers who put themselves in harm's way to protect the lives of these children," stated Duncan. "They laid down their lives in an attempt to spare those of their students. They are heroes in every respect of the word."
Mikey Curry, the 2nd grade student of Riverside Elementary School and son of Joseph Curry and Greta Bevins of Williamson, lit the candles of all those attending the vigil. The names of the victims were read by Delegate Marcum and prayer and singing was led by Commissioner Smith. A moment of silence was held prior to the conclusion of the memorial service.
"We don't understand why this occurred," said Smith in his closing remarks. "We are baffled. We pray for God to comfort the hearts of these families who have experienced this great loss and we pray for the healing of the community of Newtown, Connecticut."
Marcum thanked all of those who took time to attend the candlelight vigil and asked that everyone in the Tug Valley area continue to keep those who lost loved ones in the school shooting in their prayers.

College notes: VASJ grad Antonio Tate is focused on leading Mount Union to national title
If you follow college football, most of the numbers are familiar.
-- Mount Union has won 10 NCAA Division III championships.
-- The Purple Raiders have played for the national title 15 times.
-- They are 179-7 since 2000 and have won 73 consecutive regular-season games.
For Villa Angela-St. Joseph graduate Antonio Tate and the remainder of Mount Union's senior class, though, there is one number they can't shed.
Zero, as in national titles won.
Mount has lost in the Stagg Bowl — the D-III championship game — in each of the last three seasons.
In fact, all four of Mount Union's losses since 2005 have occurred in the national title game — all to Wisconsin-Whitewater, which is 4-2 against Mount in Stagg Bowls in that span.
"It's everything right now," Tate said of winning Mount's first national title since 2008. "We've accomplished everything but that. So this is our main focus."
If the No. 1 Purple Raiders are to win their 11th crown, it won't be at Whitewater's expense. Continued...
The Warhawks finished 7-3 in 2012 and didn't earn a bid to the Division III playoffs, negating any chance of a seventh consecutive meeting with Mount in the Stagg Bowl.
"Right now, we're not thinking about it too much," Tate said of Whitewater. "We're focusing on ourselves right now. When we first heard about it, it was kind of strange. But now we're just worrying about us."
Thus far, there haven't been many concerns.
Tate — a 6-foot-4, 260-pound left tackle who will graduate this spring with a degree in exercise science — has been a stalwart up front for an offense that is averaging 53.7 points and 550.2 total yards per game.
Mount (12-0) will play host to No. 9 Widener (11-0) on Saturday at noon in a D-III quarterfinal.
The Purple Raiders have outscored their first two playoff opponents, 127-27, and their defense has been just as impressive as their high-powered offense. Mount is allowing only 6.0 points and 164.8 total yards per game, and has forced 30 turnovers and racked up 35 sacks.
"We have a lot of team chemistry right now," Tate said. "We're really having fun. There's not too much stress, and it's showing."
Tate said he missed the last two regular-season games and Mount's first playoff win because of a high ankle sprain and bruised tibia. He returned to play last week against Johns Hopkins and said he "feels good."
The time off didn't prevent him from earning the Ohio Athletic Conference's Ken Wable Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award for the second consecutive season.
"It was very cool to get that again," Tate said. Continued...
But it's evident there is something he desires even more.
"It's all we want," Tate said of a national championship that would be his first.
For a change, the Purple Raiders won't have to go through UW-Whitewater to get it.
Honor roll
-- Mentor graduate Justin Fritts — the 2012 Ohio Mr. Basketball — had 31 points in his second career game for Division II Wheeling Jesuit. Fritts was 12-for-14 from the field and 7-for-8 from 3-point range in a 92-66 win over Tiffin. In three games, he is averaging 19.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 steals. He is shooting 56.4 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from 3-point land.
-- Notre Dame College senior midfielder Erik Beattie was a first-team all-Midwest Region selection after finishing second on the Falcons (15-6) in goals (11) and points (25). NDC lost to Midwest top seed Rockhurst (Mo.), 3-2, in the second round of the NCAA Division II tournament.
-- Junior forward Admir Suljevic (Wickliffe) led the Cleveland State men's soccer team in goals (five), assists (four) and points (14), helping the Vikings (11-6-3) to the Horizon League tournament title. CSU lost, 2-1, to Michigan State in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
-- Kristen Baker (Mentor) was second on the Eastern Michigan volleyball team in kills (290) and blocks (84) as a senior. She added 57 digs.
-- Sophomore guard Nate Fiala (Gilmour) is averaging 4.6 points per game for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute basketball team.

"The key to Learning is Freedom", but what does that really mean? It means, having the freedom to learn WHAT we want to learn and HOW we want to learn it, for each of us, which includes our children. The WHAT and HOW is controlled in classrooms, which it has to be to a certain extent as there's lots of people, little time and stretched resources, however, the same need not be true for learning outside of school.
WHAT does your child want to learn about that doesn't get addressed at their school? HOW does your child learn best?
If your child can't tell you then you'll need to find out through observation. We can find out a lot about our children when we watch and listen.
Having the freedom to learn helps your child become a lifelong learner, which will assist their life long term… as nothing in life is guaranteed and we all have times of reassessing what we do and how we'll do it and we certainly don't enjoy other people making those choices for our lives. Being a tutor is about assisting someone else's learning by supporting, demonstrating and eventually becoming redundant. To tutor means to help a learner learn how to tutor themselves… even to teach themselves. We want our children to become independent of us… to live their own life, make their own way, do their own washing!
The freedom to learn in a class is not and can not be present; learning is compulsory or the student is punished. Learn and you are rewarded, which is also about not being free to learn, as students learn to work for an external goal, rather than focussing on the learning alone; learning for learning's sake.
Students wait for the teacher to teach and they are trained NOT to teach themselves. Tutoring is giving back power, and the desire, to learn, for themselves by themselves. How many times do you hear the excuse "but the teacher didn't tell us to …." when you know your child should have proceeded without having to be told? Or "but the teacher told us to do it this way" when you yourself were taught another, better, easier, faster way? Does it feel like a battle between you and their teacher? Do you feel they have more control over your child's learning than your child has over their own learning? Or even YOU over your child?
Did you know that YOU are legally responsible for your child's education, not the school? Did you know that school isn't even compulsory, only receiving an education is compulsory. You are using the school, you're not suppose to 'feel used.'
Did you know that the vast majority of teachers are in love with learning and dearly love children who want to learn, but the system and procedures of a classroom prevent them from teaching according to the very best standards? Standards and methods that have been well researched and documented, such as individual learning plans, multiple intelligences, real world experiential learning, self-correcting hands on manipulatives etc. Your child's teacher/s should be your partner/s. They are with your child for a significant portion of their waking life for 13 years. Yes they are busy, yes you may still 'fear teachers' yourself, but if they didn't like children they wouldn't do the job. They don't want to be feared, they want the children to learn. If you need their feedback then approach them and get it. It will help your child AND the teacher long term.
Assist, support, encourage, praise enough to keep them wanting to learn, however, the ultimate aim is to become redundant as your student, your child, rediscovers the 'freedom to learn' they had prior to attending school. As they do, they may view schools a little differently. You may too. Schools are NOT the only place where learning occurs, sometimes they even make it harder to learn, but here is a trick for you, if you encourage your child to learn ANYTHING outside of school (sport, art, music etc) and it's something they love it will increase their desire to learn, their grades in school improve, as they transfer those 'how to learn' skills into their schooling.
Conversely if you force your child to learn something they don't want to learn, thereby further limiting their freedom, their desire to learn reduces and their performance at school also goes down.
"Learning is the key to freedom" because if you can learn anything, you have no restrictions to what you can experience and that's a liberating thought.

Menu Split by Logo
I'm trying to figure out how I can go about creating a menu layout that is similar to the following concept: http://bel50.com/ . I like how the logo seems to split the menu in half. I'm sure I could create this with a static webiste. However, I'm trying to figure out the best way to create this when dealing with a CMS that generates menu items like Joomla, Wordpress, or Drupal? How do you specify that you want, say, the 3rd menu item specifically to have padding, or margin on one side?
I used the inspector for the example site that I listed and noticed that the following was being used: #primary_nav li + li + li {margin-left: 255px;}
I've also seen other methods performed. Does anyone have any other recommendations on how this could be achieved when taking a CMS into account? I'm also concerned about browser compatibility. Looking forward to suggestions. Thanks!
For a CMS, unless you want to write code for it to output each li with its own class, using
#primary_nav li + li + li {margin-left: 255px;}
is the cleanest way.
Chris Spooner who runs Line25 has made a good article on something similar to what you're after.
Thanks guys! I will do a little more exploring with the suggestions you've made.
This is how I did it with Wordpress. I had to create two separate custom menu's, "Main" and "Secondary". In the middle I outputted my logo. This allows you to use margin-right for the left menu and margin-left for the right menu.
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Main', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '
%3$s
' )); ?>
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
 <?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Secondary', 'container' => '', 'items_wrap' => '
%3$s
' )); ?>
However, I probably wouldn't go about it in that way if I could help it. I changed my markup after switching CMS's and it's much easier to control adding classes to each list-item.

Nice! Yeah, I read about the nth-child selector option, but read something not too long ago that explained how it wasn't that widely supported yet. So, I'm thing to figure out what the best option would be. I'd like to just have one menu that selects the 3rd or 4th menu item and tells it to add margin. That seems like it would be the most light-weight option.
Ah never mind, that article appears to have a jquery fallback for IE, hah.
What's happening when you hover over articles and store @chrisburton?
Looks very nice, though!
@Watson90 Forgot to change the hover positions. Fixed.
@nickwinters You could just use margin-right for all the list-items and then apply
li:last-child { margin-right: 0;}
. If there's no reason for you to support IE8 or below, I wouldn't worry about it. However, putting classes on each list-item solves the issue by just calling the last class and setting a 0 margin as shown in my example.Thanks for the feedback @chrisburton! Sadly, I kind of have to worry about IE8 still. The type of traffic my sites get in the IE department seems to be 40-60% IE8. I think it has something to do with the audience demographic in my area. Age group of the users? I dunno, it's strange when looking at analytics.
@nickwinters Then, I would go with the second example that I provided with applying classes to the list-items.
I found this query since I wanted to do the same thing. Forefathers Group (http://forefathersgroup.com/) does it very nicely and I studied their CSS and HTML to figure it out. Basically, (and bear with me 'cause I'm no designer) they use a simple background image centered with [margin: 0 auto] and z-index'd at 10000, then the four menu items (ul>a>li) are split across the screen. The first 2 are floated left; the second are floated right. Then its margin fiddling to get them all to sit where you want. I have not tested it in anything but FF (Waterfox 18.0.1) but their site is solid so I'd guess it works. Testing will come later for me once other stuff is done.
And it works well for responsive, too.
Anyway, if I can figure this out by studying their method, I know you guys can. I write code thru extreme trial & error not any real knowledge. I borrow that from experts that I find here! I love the open/sharing web community. Thanks to everyone who, explicitly or not, helps me out!
I hope this helps guide others. Since I figured it out for my site, I wanted to share my $0.02.
Then its margin fiddling to get them all to sit where you want.
That's what we want to avoid.

The United States will stay out of the election. And the administration official said it remains open to restoring diplomatic relations with an ambassador regardless of the winner.
However, given what occurred on Tuesday regarding charges by Venezuela against two U.S. Embassy attaches, the official said "we need to see more than we saw today."
The Americans were accused of plotting to destabilize the country, which the State Department dismissed.
The administration official believes, however, it is "counterproductive to be at odds" with the Venezuelan government.
Another administration official said expulsion of the U.S. military aides was a sign the Venezuelan leadership is feeling "uncertain, unsure and weak," and that a more constructive relationship with the United States was "really up to the Venezuelans if they want that."
But senior American officials don't expect the relationship to change dramatically in the short term primarily because Chavez's system still exists.
The United States, these officials say, will want to see a break with that and movement toward a democratic process.
The officials believe that Chavez adherents led by Maduro will want to maintain the same approach, but could be more pragmatic and less confrontational.
However, there are strong anti-Venezuelan views on Capitol Hill and it would be difficult to confirm an ambassador. That could change if there is cooperation on issues like counter-narcotics or counter-terrorism, the officials said.
The Obama administration is expected to try and get Venezuela to impose sanctions on Iran, which the country has repeatedly violated, they added.
