Geoducks Finish Off Red Raiders Despite Late Rally
January 25, 2003
by Devin Jones
ASHLAND, OR -- Just as expected, the Geoducks rebounded from their loss to #1 ranked Oregon Tech on Friday night, and came out ready to play Saturday against the Southern Oregon Red Raiders.
Despite being outscored 62-44 in the second half, Evergreen was able to hold on to a three-point victory, 98-95, after building a 21 point first half lead.
The Geoducks (6-5 conference, 12-13 overall) seemed to have a lot of confidence in the first half against the Red Raiders (3-7 conference, 7-15 overall), knocking down 55% (21-38) of their field goal attempts, including 40% (9-22) from three-point land.
The Geoducks defense held Southern Oregon to only 37% (13-35) shooting in the first half, along with a horrible 14% (1-7) from behind the arc.
The excitement and intensity gave the Geoducks the upper hand as they went into the locker rooms with a comfortable 21 point lead, 54-33.
The talk at halftime revolved around the fact that the Geoducks knew the Red Raiders would put some type of comeback together in the second half.
It was Evergreen's job to prevent the comeback. Southern Oregon proved worthy of such a comeback the night before when they trailed Northwest College by 25 points at halftime, before cutting the lead to one late in the game (Southern Oregon eventually lost that game).
The Red Raiders did exactly what the Geoducks expected and went on a tear in the second half, scoring 62 points on 58% (20-34) shooting.
Southern Oregon also converted on 18 of 21 free throw attempts in the half to help cut the lead to just three points late in the game.
Fortunately, Southern Oregon's magic wore out just in time as the Geoducks prevailed with win, keeping Evergreen in a
tight race for second place in the Cascade Conference standings, and pushing the Red Raiders further back.
Mike Parker (Washington DC / Clover Park HS) led the Geoducks with an unbelievable shooting performance. Parker was 14-17 from the field, with all three of his missed shots coming from behind the three-point line, and ended the night with a game high 36 points. Parker also had five rebounds, a game high five blocks and four steals.
Devin Jones (Ogden, Utah / Bonneville HS) helped lead the Geoducks offensive attack with 18 points on 8-13 shooting while pulling down five boards of his own and handing out four assists.
Haikima Moore (Dallas, Tex. / Allen HS) and Ben Riippi (Puyallup, Wash. / Puyallup HS) also scored in double figures for the Geoducks.
Moore had 15 points (6-13) and a team high six rebounds, while Riippi cashed in 12 points (4-10) and dished out four assists.
Zac Olson who scored a team high 29 points on 12-18 shooting led Southern Oregon's second half comeback. Olson also had eight rebounds and four assists on the night.
Jared Abell chipped in 24 points (8-12) off the bench for the Red Raiders in just 26 minutes of play, and fell one rebound short of a double double, ending the game with nine.
Ryan Gabel and T.J Caughell chipped in 17 points and 14 points respectively for Southern Oregon, and Caughell also had a game high nine assists.
The Geoducks will have a week off before their next conference battle, when they will face the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers. Evergreen will look to stay in the tight race for second place with a victory.
The Geoducks defeated the Mountaineers in an early season battle 86-82. The game will be played at Evergreen's College Recreation Center and will start at 8:00 p.m.

Monday November 17, 2008
Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced an immediate hiring freeze and restrictions on travel and discretionary spending as the first steps to manage an expected $20 million budget shortfall for the fiscal year.
More spending restrictions will be required to balance the budget, and employee layoffs and unpaid furloughs are among the options being considered, Abramson said.
"The global economic downturn is hitting Louisville and city government," Abramson said. "You cannot have a breath-taking decline on Wall Street without it affecting Main streets across America — and Louisville is no exception."
The $20 million shortfall represents 4 percent of the General Fund budget – and Abramson warned that amount could increase if the economic situation does not improve.
"To put it in perspective, this estimated $20 million shortfall is bigger than the entire General Fund budget for Metro Parks and twice as large as the budget for our Health and Wellness department," Abramson said. "We face serious challenges, and we will have to make serious cuts."
Abramson will be meeting with city department directors in the coming days and weeks to examine other ways to cut expenses. Abramson said he expects to announce additional spending restrictions next month."Over the next few weeks, we will make decisions about additional cost-cutting measures — just like our citizens and families are doing — to ensure that we live within our budget," Abramson said. "I will put the priority on public safety and basic services. But a spending reduction of this magnitude will require a united effort and shared sacrifice across all our government agencies."
Trends across the country are contributing to the shortfall in Louisville, Abramson said.
Since the city's budget was proposed in May, the stock market has dropped 4,000 points – losing one-third of its value. Over the same period, the unemployment rate in Louisville has risen significantly and now stands at 7 percent.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky is projecting a $300 million shortfall. And all five of the state's economic indicators are trending down.
Louisville is better prepared than many communities to weather the economic storm because of the diversity of the local economy, Abramson said. And city government is better positioned than most because we have built a more efficient, well-run government in the past six years.
However, decisions in Washington, Frankfort and corporate board rooms will have additional impacts on Louisville Metro Government. Abramson said he will focus closely on issues that could impact the level of Louisville's shortfall, including:
· the on-going debate in Washington over financial help for the automotive industry;
· the Commonwealth of Kentucky's plans for handling an expected $300 million state budget shortfall;
· and the state retirement board's decision later this week on the pension contribution rate that local governments pay for public employees.
This morning, Abramson briefed Metro Council President Jim King and Budget Committee leaders on the situation, and he invited their input as he makes decisions on budget cuts. The administration will also talk with union leaders and seek employee suggestions for cost reductions, Abramson said.
"Now is the time to work together for the good of our community," he said. "It's not the time to divide along personal, partisan or parochial lines."
How Other Cities Are Dealing with Economic Downturn
Cities of all sizes are suffering as the financial crisis seeps into municipal budgets, reducing revenues and forcing spending restrictions. Here's a look at how some other cities are handling major shortfalls:
New York City expects a $4 billion shortfall over the next two years. They'll reduce their workforce by 3,000, cancel a police training class for 1,100 cadets, lay off 500 workers and eliminate 2,500 open positions. NYC will also reduce nighttime operations for fire stations.
Philadelphia faces a $108 million shortfall and will make up the difference with severe measures: they'll close 11 libraries, 62 pools and 3 ice rinks; lay off 220 workers and close 600 unfilled positions; and cancel hiring 200 police officers.
Washington, D.C. is using employee furloughs to help cut $130 million from their city budget. Twelve furlough days over the next year will close schools, day care centers, garbage collection and other non-essential public services. City officials have also cut millions from capital projects, subsidies for the poor and budgets for libraries and parks.
Chicago will utilize a limited employee furlough to make up a $469 million deficit. Cuts include laying off 900 workers, eliminating 1,350 open positions and increasing fees on everything from parking to sports tickets.
Cincinnati / Hamilton County will eliminate 532 county positions – or 18 percent of the county's general fund positions – by the end of February. The county will close a 800-bed jail facility by March and eliminate sheriff's patrols in the county's three largest townships.
Indianapolis terminated city funding for the arts, phasing out the annual $1.5 million payout over the next three years. All city agencies are instructed to look for ways to cut spending. Parks and Recreation is being asked to cut $2.3 million, or 13 percent, of its $17 million budget.
Lexington built its budget expecting 170 jobs vacated by retirees wouldn't be replaced – but only 40 of those jobs have been closed so far because far fewer people retired. Occupational taxes are down 4 percent. The city is considering a new storm-water tax, expected to generate $16 million annually.
Nashville instituted a hiring freeze (with the exception of public safety workers) and asked departments to submit plans to cut 3 percent from their 2008-09 operating budgets.

The Johannesburg Botanical Garden is located in the suburb of Emmarentia in Johannesburg, South Africa. The gardens were established in 1964 as a large rose garden (becoming known locally as the "Rose Garden") and subsequently expanded to cover an area of around 125 hectares (1.25 km2). It is administered by Johannesburg City Parks.
The Emmarentia Dam is situated immediately to the east of the garden and shares its extensive acreage. One of the main attractions is the Rose Garden with over 10 000 roses.
A monument commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Hugenots in South Africa is located at the top of the rose garden.

The River Valley District Library board is expected to vote on an expansion plan Monday.
The three options being considered are an expansion at the current site, renovation of the former high school on Illinois 84 or new construction across from Dollar General on Illinois 84.
The public is encouraged to attend the 5:30 p.m. meeting at the library, 214 S. Main St., to give feedback and ask questions.
Library director Shelli Fehr said anyone who can't attend the meeting can call the library or submit something in writing on which option they prefer. Renderings of all three options are on display in the library.
Ms. Fehr said the next step is fundraising, and the board will solicit grants and private donations. Tax Increment Financing money also may be available from the village, she said.
Library board president Barb Brandt said taxes will not be raised to pay for a new library.
She said the library needs about three acres and a 22,000-square-feet building to accommodate parking and library space.
The current 6,000 square feet is not enough for a growing book collection, seating, computers and meeting space, Ms. Fehr said.
Cost estimates on the options will be provided by FEH Architecture before the vote, said Ms. Brandt, who declined to release the estimates.
Library board vice president Lawrence Bay said they are eager to get public input on the plans.

Q: We've been living in our new home for a year and a half, and one element has me totally stuck. This cubby is in a prominent place in our living room/dining room area. It used to open into the garage, I suppose, and has since been boarded up. The previous residents propped a mirror in the space, but this doesn't make it any more attractive. I thought I could display some kind of collection there, but the bottom "sill" is a rough, uneven surface - and we don't collect anything! Also, it's all the way on the right side of a very long wall, so art to cover it would have to be a very, very long piece, or three larger pieces (the "window" being hidden behind the one on the right). Any suggestions?

If it's stable enough, put a fish bowl or tank in it.
What about a really long chalk board or cork board with a simple "fat" frame? You could use it the traditional way for notes and what nots, or... You could change it seasonally with pics of family/friends or big bold messages?
Take it out and drywall over the hole.
It almost looks like it might have been a parcel hatch at one time (depending on the age of your house). I would (I can't tell if you own or rent - I'm going to assume you own for my answer) check to see that it has been properly installed vis-a-vis fire ratings and if it isn't, seal it up correctly with insulation and appropriate drywall. This would eliminate the "problem" so to speak.
Do you own or rent? If you own, hire a contractor to remove the trim and fill in the cubby since it no longer has any practical purpose.
If you rent, the cork board idea would be a cheap and useful fix. A large wall hanging or piece of art arranged as part of a group would also look great. There are lots of easy and attractive options you could go with.
Drywall over it; it's really not hard with something so small.
If you want to keep it, the problem seems too be that it is too small. So, if you can go into the garage a little more you could make it a bar area, with space to hang wine glasses, or just a buffet space. I'd paint the inside a bright, fun color.
Typically these cubbies were for your phone hookup. We have one in our house, it was built in 1948. We uses ours to display our old piggy bank collection. I love these cubbies. I do not think you should get rid of it, it's one of those things that gives the house character.
I have a similar cubby, although mine is a wee bit bigger. I lined mine with a cool fabric, hung a mirror, and turned it into our bar area. Because it's so off center I think anything you do with it may look wrong in the end. I think if it were me, I'd remove the molding and fill it in with some drywall and mud over it.
similar to what Phusilly said, you could paint the interior of the cubby with chalkboard paint and then keep the chalk on the bottom ledge. In addition to notes and reminders, it might be a fun place to write a menu for a dinner party.
I dream about having a wall cubby. Put your mobile phone base there (may need to put a socket there), the landing strip for mail, a small slim vase. It's character and shouldn't be eliminated. If you are one of those Americans who watch TV whilst you eat (God bless you) put a flat screen there.
You could post a formal dinner menu there, a nice calendar or picture.
Yes the trim and sill do need to be refreshed.
Wow, I was just thinking I needed a cubby like this so I could mount my sprinkler system control box inside the house & hide it behind a curtain or a little door.
What are the dimensions? And what's behind that door next to it (closet, pantry, or garage)?
I'd probably smooth out the inside, put cork, wood, or something along the bottom to make it flat, line it with decorative fabric or wallpaper or more cork.
If it's next to an entrance from the garage you could use it as a place for keys & wallets, maybe run electricity into it as a charging station for phones/ipod. You could mount cute hooks for keys, and build in a little holder for each item.
You could put a dowel across the front and make it a magazine rack. You could store table accessories there (get cute salt & pepper shakers & a funky bright turquoise or orange napkin holder,... have fun with it).
Plants? You could put in holders for those air plants.
Ant farm? Calvin might like that!
Beyond that, if you can't think of anything & don't get any helpful ideas here, drywall over it and put art on the wall.
I like the phone cubby idea better than the hatchway to the garage idea. Who needs one of those?
I'd paint or paper the back of the cubby something interesting and tack a mail organizer, or key holder on the wall.
I think you should keep the cubby and draw attention to it. By eliminating it completely, you'll miss out on a creative opportunity and it is a bit of character.
Paint out the back and add some hooks. You can use it as a landing strip.
Or instead of one large long piece of art hanging over it, try two square or rectangle pieces on that wall, then it won't be so awkward.
I agree with the drywall suggestions.
I've had these in two or three houses. It was probably for a now-defunct intercom/stereo system. Take off the trim and drywall it. Repaint wall and you'll forget it was ever there.
Could you fit one of these wall mounted fireplaces there? http://www.pureflame.com/products/wall-mount/
Would be nice for dinner parties, maybe? Or else, I like all the landing strips suggestions, although I do see that you might not want that right next to the dining table.
If you want an inexpensive fix, I'd just hang a really big, beautiful tapestry "centered" with the kitchen table. I got an enormous tapestry at a campus fair-trade sale one year and that thing has been great for covering up eyesores, bad paint jobs, and other things that I couldn't fix as a renter.
At the sale alone, there were multiple prints that I was coveting that would have worked in a lot of different spaces (not just ye olde windowless basement college apartment cheapie "art"). If you take care to hang them properly (like, not with binder clips, ya dig?) they can look much more polished.
It seems about the depth of a shadow box. I'd paint it a color that matches your decor and display a collection of memorabilia. I have a collection of carnival masks that I would display there. Since your cat is such a ham, you could artfully display his pictures in the cubby hole.
I'd also paint it black and put a colorful plate inside of it, maybe even an LED light inside on the top to light up the display.
I also like the idea of a message station or pretty bowl to hold your keys and mail but if you're prone to clutter, I don't advise it.
I'd also add another frame about the size of the cubby hole on the other side of the wall to create more balance in the room. Maybe a shelf or wall sculpture in middle of the wall for more visual interest so that you're not just looking at the cubby hole.
I envy people that have cubby holes and niches. So much opportunity to do something different. Never cover it up.
I think it depends on whether you like the look of the blank wall, or if you would like something in that space. Doing something with that cubby only seems so off-balance because the rest of the wall is blank. If you like the blank expanse, then remove the frame and drywall over it. If you want some other adornment on that wall, you have lots of options in terms of scale and number of objects.
Go old movie spy theme and hang a large, hinged painting over it, then mount a secret stash box or safe inside!
You can put a collection of mirrors on that wall, they are inexpensive and you can cover it easily (don't feel like they have to be in a row, have fun with it). Even if you dry wall over it, the wall seems pretty plain and could use some adornment. A collection of pictures or art would be nice as well.
I love creative challenges. They really inspire greatness.
I like the idea of leaning a well fitting, framed chalkboard in the space and using it for notes, menus, jokes etc... then simply adding interest with a bud vase. Simple. Easy. ...Also consider a really narrow terrarium, affixing a mixed media collage on cardboard, wall of stacked wine corks, paper sculpture, work the cubby into a grouping of artwork, or better, use the cubby as a host for something like a vertical succulent container and then sort of taper away from the cubby space with air plants pinned to the wall. You could apply that idea to anything: plates, dried flowers, butterflies, moss, coins, collection of odds and ends and just have it crawl/taper across the wall, away from the kitchen.
You've got lots of options so get started on something, anything, and learn from the experience. If you don't, that empty cubby will sit there waiting for genius to strike and I tell you it does not take genius to fill up that space, but once you've done something to it, I bet the most creative and relevant (to you) ideas will really start to flow. Good luck.
My first choice would be drywall- I don't see what character it's adding. But, if you don't want to do that, it would make a good message center/landing strip. Put in a chalk board with a colorful cup to hold some chalk, attach some hooks for keys, and/or attach a piece of wood along the bottom and use it to hold mail, etc.
I would give it a good paint job, and fasten a pretty decorative tray to the bottom, giving it more of a sill than it currently has. Then it could be used as a landing strip. Or insert a shelf with a decorative bracket supporting it and again use it as a functional shelf.
Get a photo an outdoor scene, put it on the back wall and make it into a "window"... or just paint it a bright color and put some family photos or something there.
The window Idea is my favorite though, I've done it before, usually I use beach scenes or you can get a favorite landscape of yours blown up. Old windows or shutters are easy to find and you could use on to make it more windowlike.
Or if you have a stained glass window, just put two eye hooks in the top of the window, and two hooks in the top of the cubby and hang it :)
Either cover it with art in a chunky frame (either a single large piece that can be hung in balance to the proportions of the room, or several pieces salon style to achieve the same) or properly remove it and drywall over the hole. It's not an architecturally significant feature that would need to be preserved.
I would actually create two more identical cubbies spaced evenly to the left of the original for a unique display wall. There would still be room above for other artistic additions as well.
Find a mirror the same size...hang in back. Then either put varying glass candle holders with tea lights or make a mini bar!
My first guess would be that this opening at one time housed an air conditioning unit. The house I grew up in had one in the same place, right next to the door to the garage off the dining room. If you own the house, I agree with sheetrocking over it.
I agree with several others - I'd drywall over it.
I like the landing strip idea, and you could hang some frames on the wall that match the border of the box.
I like the mini-bar idea. You can also make it a landing strip area - keys on hooks inside the box, center an ottoman or bench underneath for handbag / backpack storage / shoe tying.
If you don't like any of the suggestions, it's really not a big deal to drywall over it.
Oh, keep it! What a fun feature.
1. clean it up/repaint
2. place some modern, graphic wallpaper on the back
3. mount a couple of shallow, glass shelves
4. place stuff on shelves
3. mount some key hooks, etc.
4. place stuff on hooks
2. attach a cool, vintage metal tray to the back
3. use magnets/message board
Build the sill out into a sitting shelf for Calvin! Then, when he sits there watching you eat, he will be tastefully framed. ;)
It is just about the right depth for wineglasses, though. Or salt & pepper shakers.
Hello, all! Question-poster here. Thank you so much for your answers! We do own our home, so permanent solutions are possible.
Unfortunately, it's not in a very good spot for a landing strip - it's in the center of the room, at least 10 feet away from any exterior door (the door in the picture goes to our above-the-garage room). The construction is strange - it's only about 4 inches deep, and the only backing is a very thin piece of plywood that separates it from the garage. Whoever installed it cut through a stud to do so, so in order to get a truly flat bottom I'd have to install one.
A chalkboard might be a great temporary solution, as I've always wanted to try one and I think the ledge might collect some of the dust. I also love Alana's idea about a hinged painting and spy hole - it would have to be one of a set of 3 large pieces, though, for it to be symmetrical enough for my taste. But the wall does need some art.
All else fails, I can drywall it. :)
pick something funky (that's of the right size) up at a market or yard sale and spray paint it a neon color, something like an old telephone, statue, pitcher, retro toys or so on. Or even better, find something you love, but don't like to have on display for some reason, - spray paint it neon pink and display.
if the roughness of the shelf is too bad just sand it down a bit, even it out with spackle and paint over it.
I didn't go through all the comments, so pls forgive if this is a duplicate. You can go to Blick's or some art supply store and get a stretched canvas to cover the hole. from the look of where it is on the wall, you could get three and make a triptych for a feature wall of it. Cover the canvases with some fabric you love (perhaps get a lovely duvet cover on sale and cut it into pieces if you are on a very limited budget).. or even spray paint them some bold colors.... or if you wanted to put some more time into it, you could get a few tubes of paint somewhere in the ROYGBIV and paint them in a gradient sort of way across the wall....
I also didn't go through all the comments but my first thought was a bar. That is, if it's tall enough for a standard bottle and you're drinking folk.
Make an art installation: Line it with faux fur then hang tiny cat toys from the top for CalvinTheCat to watch (more or less.) Fish, plastic gold fish, would be best. Or dry wall it.
Message center with a white board and calendar or a charging station (can you drill a hole into the garage side?) Or a landing strip.
Either way, wallpaper the insides.
1) Buy 3 mirrors/paintings and hang one over the hole to hide it. Then line up the other 2 mirrors/paintings to the left of the hole and have them go the length of your dining table.
EXAMPLE: http://homeofus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/beautiful-wall-frame-decor-by-martha-stewart-at-dining-room.jpg
2) Hang several frames on the wall, so the hole blends in :) Leave everything blank or fill the frames then you could put seasonal decorations or flowers in the hole.
Personally, I'd probably hang a bunch of art or photos on that wall, and have one strategically covering the hole. Otherwise, I'd putty the bottom and sand it smooth, then paint the back of it some accent color (or the chalk board paint is a good idea) and make it a landing spot for keys and wallets. You could get a nice little dish/jar for loose change. I think with the wall being so bare, it sticks out a lot, and if you hung some other stuff up there, either of these ideas would work fine. Good luck!
I would get some battery powered candles different shapes and colors and line the shelf with them and other cute decretive pieces that match the rest of your home.
To me, it looks like where a wall-unit air conditioner used to be in the era before central ac (if you house is that old). Since it just has a plywood backing, I bet it is now a huge escape hatch for heat/air. I would either drywall it (add insulation before doing so) or if you cant do that, fill it with insulation and attach something (chalkboard or art) over it.
I have one, and I simply put a door on it. It matches what I have in the bathroom and kitchen so it works. It is just a piece of oak with an oil finish on hinges. Inside I have a landing strip of mostly keys which is nice to cover up.
I have one of these in my rental, it even has lovely scalloping. It is also in an off-center part of my living room. I painted the inside shelving black and the frame part silver (you could use some other color too) to make it into what looks like a giant picture frame. I then bought cheap frames I painted silver as well and placed a few with some B&W photos inside the niche and placed some more frames alongside it on the wall next to it.

TED for kids (or high school students)- a TED conference, where students do the speaking, and let their ideas be known.
I've seen multiple videos and comments about how children teach each other (and ourselves) incredible things. Why not have a conference with high school students, letting us give ideas to each other, from someone who is actually our own age. Sometimes the most inspiring people are in-fact our peers, and people who are our own age group.I feel that if we could get our ideas to each other, we would listen in greater depth, and not be afraid to put our opinions out there. And hey, maybe the adults will learn some valuable information too. Who better to ask, about making our education better, than the students?

Also, who is this Skaggs guy, and why does he have a starting job? I assume he is the number 5 starter on the angles?A top 20 prospect before last season, off to a good start this season.
Skaggs and Milone would make a pretty good 70s era cop show. Skaggs listens to outlaw country, drinks too much, but always gets his man two minutes before the end credits. Milone is the straight laced one, always in a suit and a tie, always follows procedure and bags all of the evidence (and always accuses the person with a mountain of evidence against them, but who will in the end turn out not to have done it). Their distaste for each other gradually turns into a grudging respect.

This coming from a guy who doesn't even know basic HTML formatting.
Having wasted my precious time and money going to last night's Nationals game I'm confident you could have boldfaced Jose Fernandez and white out Roark and you'd be fine. What a Little League sh!t show.
I look forward to tonight's replays in the Sox/Sawx matchup, as I'm sure fans of both teams are completely sick of it.
Isn't Harper hitting .340?
What I'm sick of is Ventura playing DeAza ahead of Jordan Danks.
I'm starting to feel more and more like Los Angeles El Hombre de Anaheim these days.8-6 doesn't get you through the door. If you're above .500, I don't wanna hear about it.

Just might be true.
He was hitting 95mph last night, isn't that good enough to get outs from MLB hitters?
There's nothing wrong with a 1-hitter there, Barbie...+1 for Scrubs reference.
Kirk Gibson would be the perfect Chief. "Skaggs, you didn't follow protocol! You don't bunt while a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter! Now the media is all over my ass! I'll have your badge!"
I'm wandering from section to section just to stay warm.

Pay comparisons between metropolitan areas in 2010
May 27, 2011
Average pay for civilian workers in the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, California, metropolitan area (one of 77 metropolitan areas studied by the National Compensation Survey (NCS)) was 20 percent above the national average in 2010.
The Brownsville-Harlingen, Texas, metropolitan area had a pay relative of 80, meaning workers earned an average of 80 cents for every dollar earned by workers nationwide.
The chart shows the four highest and three lowest paying metropolitan areas among those studied by the NCS. The fourth lowest paying were Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Tallahassee, Florida, tied at 88.
Using data from the NCS, pay relatives—a means of assessing pay differences—are available for each of the nine major occupational groups within surveyed metropolitan areas, as well as averaged across all occupations for each area, and can be found at www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/payrel.htm. The average pay relative nationally for all occupations and for each occupational group equals 100.
These data are from the BLS National Compensation Survey program. Learn more in "Occupational Pay Comparisons Among Metropolitan Areas, 2010," (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-0761.

This is my third Robocut unit. I've used this Haircutting System approximately ever three weeks for over ten years. I prefer the convenience and cost savings in barber visits. It takes practice using either hand in front of a mirror. The weak area on this unit is the plastic edge around the metal grating in front of the rotating cutters. The plastic O-ring gets loose and falls out.
The only way to cut hair
I've been using Robocut to cut my hair for about 10 years and have saved $100's. They work great. I got this one as a replacement for my old one which I've about worn out.

Restricted free agent centre Nazem Kadri is still in a holding pattern in contract talks with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the 22-year-old centre may be feeling the pinch.
Working out at the team's practice facility in Mississauga on Tuesday, Kadri told reporters that talks over a new deal are weighing heavier on his mind as training camp draws closer.
"The closer it comes to training camp, it becomes more and more of a distraction," Kadri said. "That said, I'm being more than reasonable. Right now, it's their decision to make."
Kadri, who had no arbitration rights after completing his entry-level deal in June, was second in team scoring with 44 points in 48 games last season. The Maple Leafs have been at a standstill with Kadri and fellow RFA Cody Franson as both players could be seeking bigger contracts while the team has just under $5 million in cap space.
By comparison, Carolina's Jeff Skinner, New York Islanders centre John Tavares and Edmonton's Taylor Hall landed big contracts out of their entry-level deals and Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog got one last week - a seven-year $39 million contract extension.
"I know I'm being pretty reasonable, taking all that cap into consideration when really, that's not my job," told reporters. "I did my work over these past three years. I did exactly what they told me, trying to be the player they want me to be. I think I'm well on my way.
"I've got 100 games in this league. I don't think that's a little. I understand you've got to play 82 games. I'm becoming more mature and every year it's getting easier."
Files from The Toronto Star and Toronto Sun were used for this report.

The Los Angeles Times has a photo that is supposedly Duchess Catherine's favorite shot of Prince George from their trip to Australia and New Zealand.
I don't have rights to the image so click here to see the photo.
"A snapshot taken by professional photographer Simon Woolf, also a councillor in New Zealand's Wellington City, was the best of the bunch, he recently told reporters. …
"She said it was just lovely and that it was her favorite photo of the tour," Woolf told reporters (via E! News). The photographer said he gave the duchess a black-and-white version of the shot when the family left New Zealand. He plans to send framed versions to George's grandfather, Prince Charles, and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, according to Hello….
"Woolf was the official New Zealand government photographer, People reported, so he was allowed at each event the royals attended during the nine-day leg of their spring tour. The young prince is said to have just woken up from a nap before the photo was taken –just prior to when other photographers and reporters got access to the trio.
"He just raised his head, smiled and dropped his head back on Princess Catherine's shoulder. And I just got that shot. It was only one shot," he told the magazine. "That photo represented the lovely closeness of the family. I was so totally reassured that it is a great relationship."
I like the shot for two reasons: I love how he is holding her. He is clutching on to her tightly with his little hand and you can tell that he feels safe and loved and that he loves her. I also love his eyes. He looks happy.
It made me think about my favorite shots of my children. My favorite shot of my youngest was taken in a photography studio. She was around three-months old and had rolled herself around in her favorite pink blankie (which is still with us today). She is sucking her thumb and clutching the blankie. She still loves that blankie. The color pink just reflects so beautifully on her face.
My favorite baby shot of my son was taken at our home. Former AJC news photographer Parker Smith, who now shoots the most beautiful baby and wedding photos, came to our house to shoot the kids. Walsh was only two months old and he was lying on his crib blanket on the floor. He pushed his chest up and was looking straight into the camera. He just looks so curious and strong.
My favorite shot of Rose was when she was 2 and baby brother had just arrived. It was taken by my brother-in-law out back of our first house. She had on a pink and red dress and was holding her bounty of grape tomatoes that she had just harvested. The colors are fantastic and her eyes are so big and wide. I framed it and keep in on our kitchen wall.
Can you see why Duchess Catherine likes that particular shot of Prince George? Do you like it? What is your favorite shot of your baby?

This is a cure topic. My favorite is of my daughter in a dark blue sailor suit, hat included. Standing in front of a mirror laughing at herself. She is about 7 months old. The mirror was on the floor because we were redoing the bathroom. She's so happy and proud that she pulled herself up. I'm so glad I took the picture then cause her lil chubby butt couldn't fit that same outfit 3 weeks later.

Love this topic. I have a 5 month old, and I swear, every picture we take becomes our new "favorite". I have one from the day he turned 2 months. I had him propped (sitting up) in the glider in the nursery and happened to capture him with the biggest smile on his face…sweet, a bit mischievous, cheerful. I couldn't get that photo again if I tried. The lighting, his outfit, hair, expression…everything was perfect.

I cannot figure a favorite…I have many….the oldest and her cousin emptying MawMaw's pantry (all done quietly while we adults were having dinner at the table thinking the were playing with the bowls we had given them to "cook" in. (MawMaw got a lock installed on the pantry the next day). The youngest leaning on a broom while sweeping the porch one Sunday. Oldest petting the neighbors cat. The two of them in Santa Sleigh's. There are just so darn many I love.

I love all of them, but my favorites as a group are the three when about ages 11, 7, and 2 with the middle child, brother, sulking as big sis fusses over the baby, and the three together as adults at brother's wedding (100+ people and several dogs walked a mile in the June heat down to the river to be there, many camping for several days.) Another fave is the three together with the first grandchild. And then there is the one with all them and their mates and children at Thanksgiving 2 years ago…
April 29th, 2014

I fall into the category of all of them are my favorites. The photographer that did our wedding photos does pics of my kids twice a year and I could fill albums with those. I also love the ones I take on my smart phone of them just being them.

That baby is so cute!
In celebration of Mother's Day, I think you should do a column about this campaign and video:
Lots of feelings for and against, and a lot of men feel it is condescending and devalues their role. I would agree with that it does not give the guys any credit. I do cringe a bit when I hear a parent say that they are a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, an accountant, and a myriad of other professions, unless of course they actually are any of these things.

My husband has taken to framing a few instances of our kids with their (and our our family's) true personalities shining through. They aren't the perfect pictures that has perfect lighting, but rather they are pictures that show them laughing at the zoo, with smeared ice cream, with mussed-up hair. Those are the moments that I want to remember, not how great a particular outfit looked or a beam of sunshine. Reality is the most important thing.

A favorite one of my daughter was taken when she was 3 or 4 — she had those sweet childhood curls, and the sun caught her just right, giving the curls a lovely glow. It was just a happy picture! My son, my favorite picture of him is ANY picture where he is smiling naturally. He tends to go solemn when a camera is pointed at him!

Had a lovely year in Nova Scotia, but have moved north to the Yukon, so I will be unable to post to this anymore. Thanks for all the wonderful memories Nova Scotia!
The Brady E. Himmelman is a 14-car cable ferry that crosses the LaHave River from LaHave to East LaHave. The trip lasts five minutes and costs $5,50 per car. A cable ferry has operated in LaHave since 1832.
This $3.5-million boat, launched July 29, 2010, was named to honour long-term ferry operator Brady Himmelman who was in charge of the ferry from 1948 until 1983.
The ferry is one of four cable ferries in Nova Scotia, and is operated by Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal.
This young raccoon became trapped in a neighbour's compost bin, and was weak and dehydrated upon release. But after drinking many dishes of water, the racoon recovered and went on its way.
Racoons are adept climbers. This one scaled nearby recycling bags to get into the bin, but could not climb the smooth sides to get back out again.
Wine and dessert tasting at Petite Riviere Vineyards, a picturesque French-designed winery located minutes away from both Rissers Beach and Green Bay.
My favourite pairing for the evening: sweet cheesecake with a tart wine, Lulu.
Petite Riviere Vineyards relies on the unique terroir of one of the oldest grape growing regions in North America to make distinctive wines, and is noted for the quality of its reds.
Pirates roamed the streets during the 2013 Mahone Bay Pirate Festival and Regatta, August 2 to 5.
The festival celebrates the region's historic relationship with the sea, and features classic boats, buccaneers, music, and sailing competitions.
Eastern American Toads have dry skin with glands that contain a white sticky substance to deter predators from biting.
These toads are common throughout Nova Scotia because of their flexible habitat requirements - farms, suburbs, gravel pits and clear cuts. Toads eat ants, beetles, slugs, spiders, mosquitoes, and mites and can be beneficial for your backyard.
An osprey brings a fish to its chicks at its nesting platform behind Petite Riviere Elementary School, July 18, 2013. Ospreys fledge as early as late July, and this brood looked almost ready to fly.
In many parts of North America osprey have been in decline due to increased concentrations of pesticides in the fish it eats. This decline was less apparent in Nova Scotia, and with the elimination of some pesticides, the osprey population has been increasing.
It is estimated that there are more than 250 active nests in Nova Scotia.
A truck stops while an Eastern Painted Turtle crosses Conquerall Road. The man in the truck who stopped to let the turtle cross thanked us for stopping, and said that most motorists don't stop for the turtles.
Conquerall Road is a popular spot for nesting turtles. A couple of weeks ago, I stopped while a snapping turtle crossed the road. The snapping turtle is a protected Species at Risk in Nova Scotia.
Painted turtles are common in southwestern Nova Scotia. Females migrate to sand or gravel beaches, road banks, or cultivated fields during the afternoon from June to early July to nest. They lay between six and 11 eggs, which hatch between late September and the end of October.

The Canadian Tiger Swallowtail, with a wingspan of 6.7-8 cm, is one of Nova Scotia's largest and most recognizable butterflies. Swallowtails are seen in N.S. from late May to early July, with peak numbers appearing mid-June.
The larvae feed on various shrubs and trees, such as willow, birch, aspen, black cherry, popular and ash. Swallowtail butterflies can be seen in large numbers feeding on the flowers of lilac trees, or gathering in mud puddles.
The larvae have a creatively disgusting way to appear inedible to predators. Because they arrive in spring before leaves are on the plants, their camouflage is a black and white bird-dropping look. Once the foilage returns, the caterpillars turn green to blend with the leaves.
If you love butterflies and have a yard, check out this article on creating a butterfly-friendly space.
Actors in the parade at Privateer Days, in Liverpool, N.S. June 22, 2013.
A privateer is a private person or ship authorized by a government to attack foreign shipping during wartime. Privateers were part of naval warfare from the 16th to 19th centuries.
Redcoats is the term given to British non-commissioned men who served during the American Revolution, between 1775 and 1783. Many redcoats were former convicts. Redcoats defended present day Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada from attacks by American Revolutionaries.
Liverpool was one of North America's leading privateer ports, and is still called the Port of Privateers.

text: I'm lactating, exhausted all the time, bloating (which never happens) crampy feeling/constipation, headaches have increased, and my moods are starting to swing again (I'm a sufferer of Bipolar). My hpt was negative, but my doc says I need to come in for a blood test because my meds can mess with the results of the hpt. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of my mania is an extremely intense sex drive. Great fun while it lasts, not so fun when I have to get checked for pregnancy. I can't take birth control on my medications, and I'm usually careful (which is saying something during a manic phase), but I guess stuff happens, doesn't it? And so now I am going through the process of finding out. I'm 21, and I'm terrified. If I am, I know exactly who the father is, but I know he'd just want me to get an abortion or put it up for adoption, neither of which I'm Ok with and one that I definitely won't do. I have a job that I love, but it pays horribly. I just need some support right now, I've always been wary of getting pregnant period. I don't want any child to have the disorder I have, it's such a severe form that I can't help but be scared about that possibility.

Country: Argentina History: 1993 – 2002 Status: Inactive Style: Thrashcore Biography: Sarkastica emerged in Buenos Aires in 1993. Originally had a male vocalist, Marcelo Martinez, but in 1994 Elsa Gonzales and his thrasher voice took the place behind the microphone. Their music is essentially fast thrash, officially labeled as thrashcore. The sisters Marisol and Marisa Blanco formed the band nucleus, to which Samara Albuin was added on bass and Elsa Gonzales. The last one left the band after their first demo, "Sarkastica" in 1996. The Blanco sisters found a proper surrogate on Brenda, with a punk base and style. Brenda had experience on punk bands such as Contrabando, Fuerza Interna, Nogal o The Misfit Girls, a The Misfits tribute band. Brenda's passion for the Misfits was as great as to sing some of their songs at the end of Sarkastica's shows. With Brenda on board they released the demo "Argentina Death" in 1997. The idea of releasing an album was still present in the band, but after failing to sign a record contract they split in 2002. Brenda continues to be active in the group Gothic Bloodparade and doing fine. She has finally released an album, "Pain Exposed". She continues her tribute to the Misfits in the tribute band Horror Biz.

SEATTLE (AP) -- Next year, Washington's health insurance marketplace will have to be run on less than a third of the money officials now have at their disposal.
Washington and the 13 other states running their own health insurance marketplaces all had federal grants to pay for start-up costs. Now the Washington Health Benefit Exchange will have to transition from federal grants totaling almost $150 million in 2014 to state dollars allocated by the Legislature of $40 million in 2015.
That projected budget cut isn't the only financial challenge for the exchange going forward. Where the money is expected to come from may also pose a problem.
The Legislature voted last year to pass along the proceeds of a state tax on health insurance policy sales through the exchange. That would add up to $40 million, but only if sales projections are met.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Politics Is Overrated
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Politics is overrated as a way to predict stock performance, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Monday on the eve of the presidential election.
What really matters to stock prices, he said, is management and a company's business model, not who happens to occupy the White House.
When it came to technology, both Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and IBM (IBM) made the decision five years ago to focus less on hardware and more on software and services. Yet, IBM shares are up 75% since then while Hewlett lost 71% during the same time. Why the difference? Execution and management.During the Obama administration, Apple (AAPL), a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust,
The Difference Is CarbonWhile both presidential candidates want America to become energy self-sufficient, only one thinks we should do so with fossil fuels, Cramer told viewers -- which is why if you think Mitt Romney will pull off an upset Tuesday, there's a whole host of stocks they should consider buying. The difference between the candidates comes down to carbon. Obama hates it, while Romney feels we need energy independence by any means necessary, which means using more coal and oil along with natural gas as a surface fuel. That's why Cramer said Romney investors should consider stocks like Peabody Energy (BTU) and Arch Coal (ACI) in the coal patch, along with Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL) in the oil patch.

Adrienne Maloof: Brandi Glanville is Why I Quitby Free Britney at . Comments
Adrienne Maloof's refusal to attend The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion special, and to quit the show altogether, can be summed up in two words:
Brandi Glanville.
"The final straw was Brandi bringing up my children. She got her kicks out of trying to humiliate me," she told Us Weekly of her decision to walk.
"I made it very clear [to producers] from episode one that I wouldn't do the series if my kids were involved in any way," she said about her outrage.
Bravo exec Andy Cohen was less than pleased, saying on the reunion show: "Adrienne Maloof's final act as a Housewife was NOT showing up tonight."
She says she was approached, and explained her side.
"I said I couldn't. And what was I going to do at the reunion? Sit there and say, 'Can't talk. Under gag order?' It would have been very boring. I believe Andy gets it."
Maloof recalls telling Andy Cohen, "I'm so upset with [Brandi Glanville], I don't know what I'll say. Knowing I was leaving, I wanted to leave with dignity."
So what the hec us dfdriannes secret then plz someone tell me???
Brandi Glanville has no place in the polite society. Why is she on this show? Is it because she's too old and not-Italian enough to be on the Jersey shore? I think she would fit in much better with the crew there, not the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is such a loud, immature, obnoxious person who doesn't understand how things work in a society where people actually try to watch their mouth to avoid putting their and their genuine friends' business in jeopardy. And shame on her for not realizing that she's a trashy mouthpiece selfish alpha females with real money and status use to get their ways. She was introduced to the show to be Adrienne's mouth piece but with time became Lisa's. Where's her self-respect? Perhaps she's power hungry and is also using these alpha females to climb up the social ladder knowing that she's being exploited as a mouthpiece. Actually I think she is indeed power hungry you can tell by the way she shows how she's so jealous of Adrienne's money, success and status. Such an all around ugly character she is. I want to have sympathy for her for the horrible divorce she had to go through. But her "character assassination" of herself makes me have zero tolerance for her. (I'm actually at a point whenever I watch the show, I find myself skipping the part where she starts speaking). I would rather watch the Jersey Shore than watching that lousy, dramatic woman speaking. She needs to leave the show. I see that she has some fans there who obviously are watching the show with so much jealousy for the rich ladies' money and plastic surgeries and are so happy when Glanville starts opening her loud mouth and puts them down. I honestly hope Glanville gets a spin off and leave this show with her fans. I wish her success but she needs this leave this show. She has no place here.
One thing I'll tell you girls from very many other girls in Norway, you act like you dollete, self-absorbed, vain, quarrelsome, ridiculous ...... teenage girls. You do not think about anything other than appearance, lunches, parties, gossip, money, status ... I could go with a bunch more adjectives, but stops there. Where is their intelligence? Do you just cardboard on the top floor? The person who probably has the most intelligence is Lisa. Maybe because she is European! Begin and think about how other people with much less money than you have, rather than just being concerned with botox and fillers etc. Never experienced worse gossips in my entire life! This perception is very numerous here in the Nordic countries that have. there is still time to change, especially Kim and Kyle, for they are both some evil witches.
I don't normally feel compelled to input my thoughts on this subject, don't even watch tv so much, however was drawn to watch Brandi & could see straight thru this girl, she's tough on the outside but I bet everything on it she'll melt like butter on the inside if u do right by her. Most people don't like straight forward people coz they will pull u up on ur shit. Which is EXACTLY what Brandi does, fake liying people can't cope... That's what Adrianne has herself to blame. If I read the real story people should take into fact Brandi is not the girl to start a fight 4 the sake of a fight. She was clearly on fighting back coz Maloofy took the first punch & tried to discredit Brandi as a mother. I totally get her & I too would expose Adrianne for her lies. Fight fire with fire. Brandi is a smart girl who has been burnt & has her back up even more coz her sorry ass husband did her wrong. I guarantee if he had the balls to be honest with her about everything she would never of had to disrespect him or is white Asian looking wife. Give this girl a break & if you want to know the truth, be nice to girls like Brandi & don't play with fire if you don't want to get burned. Team Brandi all the way!!!
tHIS IS ALL FLUFF...BUT KINDA FUN TO COMMENT....i HAVE ALWAYS LIKED ADRIENNE....AN APPLAUD HER FOR not EXPOSING HER KIDS TO THE PUBLIC.....BRANDI IS VERY PLASTIC IN ACTIONS AND IN LOOX.....i HAVE ALWAYS LIKED LEANN TOO AND WONDER if BRANDI'S HUB LEFT BECAUSE OF WHO SHE REALLY IS INSIDE.....IT DONT SEEM TO PRETTY......IT SEEMS BRANDI NEEDS TO LET GO AND FORGIVE......IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE....JUST A THOT...JUST SAYIN........
I like Taylor and Kim the drunks and drugies, they tell the the truth, and forget about trying to be perfect, like ass kissing Camille, she try so hard to be perfect until she is truly truly boring, unless she step up her game you can get rid of her.
I think Brandi is worthless and a waste of time on RHOBH. Get her off, she is nothing and offers nothing to the show. I love Adrienne, and I wish her well in all that she does. She has class, and that is why she refused to come on the Reunion. Brandi talks trash and stirs up trouble. She is nothing without Lisa and Ken by her side. And enough with the flirting with Ken, it is degrading.
Would someone please tell me the secret that Brandi
Said a out Adrienne???
Adrienne, come on, really? Brandi made you leave? Really? Brandi told the world your fucking secrets, really? Guess what, bitch, it was you and only you that destroy the shit in your life, it was you that lie, YOU YOU YOU, you are a fucking liar, by not telling your kids the truth will only hinder them in the future, but you know this and still continue to tell lies lies lies over and over again, you are definitely a witch. You blame others for your shit, everyone else lies except for you, how is that? Sorry, are we the viewers stupid, did we miss something? I don't think so, I am smart I'm 49 yrs old and I do know the meaning of lies and truths, and trust me you were telling so many lies to everyone, but you blame Brandi, what a worthless piece of shit you are and then you got nerve to set up Lisa on last year reunion and try to bring everyone on board to your shit, and we see Kyle up your ass, as well as Taylor Camille Kim all up your ass, of course Kyle will be up your ass because she is doing it for her pussy husband Mauricio, the motherfucker that treated Brandi like shit, the one that thinks he is the voice of reason, he is a fucking coward, he is a pussy, how dare he talk to a woman like that, he is a worthless piece of shit, with all the fucking domestic abuse, Kyle lets her husband talk to a woman like that, he is nothing but a fucking piece of shit, he is worth nothing, he is not a man he is shit. Adrienne, trust me you are totally a piece of shit, you are a liar, stop blaming Brandi for your shit, grow the fuck up you old piece of hag.
LMFAO!!! You brought me to tears and good thing I went to the bathroom BEFORE I read this. That comment is exactly worded ver batim how I feel. ASSDRIENNE, Vyle, Coked up Kim, Trout Taylor(or whatever her name is this week), Lemming Camille and that fuckin' whorefoot Fayke do not deserve ANY kind words or thoughts from anyone with an IQ over 80 points.
You all are just as ridiculous as the show. They are all actress want to be's and this is the closest thing to being one for all of them.
sorry, but all are not actresses, the only two that has stint on tv are Kyle and Kim Richards, Kim was first to be on TV. The rest of the women came on the show first time of TV exposure. But hey, you sound jealous of these women, tell you what? Don't watch the show...
