SMI Innovations Project: Southwest Pennsylvania Case Study. The Connected Care Pilot Program
AbstractLaunched in 2009, the Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Innovations project was a collaboration between physical and behavioral health managed care organizations and county behavioral health offices in Southeast and Southwest Pennsylvania to integrate physical and behavioral health care services for adult Medicaid beneficiaries with SMI and co-occurring physical health conditions. This case study of the Connected Care pilot program in Southwest Pennsylvania found that mental health hospitalizations and readmissions improved, potentially because of targeted consumer outreach and education.

Er—certainly. [Meaning he does not mind. He opens the window.]
Thank you so much.
Not at all. [He does not mean to contradict her. Stoical silence again.]
Would you mind having it shut now? I think it is rather cold.
[He shuts it. Silence again.]
I think I'd like the window open again now for a bit. It is rather stuffy, isn't it?
Well, I think it's very cold.
O, do you? But would you mind opening it for me?
I'd much rather it was shut, if you don't mind.

Allow me, madam.
[He leans across the window's rightful owner, a bigger man than he, and opens his window.
Man in the corner shrugs his shoulders and, quite sensibly, turns to his paper.]
O, thank you so much.

Could you tell me where this is?
Yes. Elephant and Castle.
Thank you so much. It was kind of you to protect me from that horrid man. He wanted to suffocate me.
O, very glad to assist you, I'm sure. Very glad.
I should have been afraid to have done it in spite of him. It was splendid of you.
O, that was nothing.

NCTQ's Review of Teacher Preparation Programs Needs Improvement
AFT's Weingarten: "It's disappointing that for something as important as strengthening teacher preparation programs, NCTQ chose to use the gimmick of a four-star rating system without using professionally accepted standards, visiting any of the institutions or talking with any of the graduates."
WASHINGTON—Statement by American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten on the National Council on Teacher Quality's "Teacher Prep Review":
"It's disappointing that for something as important as strengthening teacher preparation programs, NCTQ chose to use the gimmick of a four-star rating system without using professionally accepted standards, visiting any of the institutions or talking with any of the graduates. Best-of and worst-of lists always garner attention, so we understand why NCTQ would use that device. While its 'do not enter' consumer alerts will make the intended splash, it's hard to see how it will help strengthen teacher preparation programs or elevate the teaching profession.
"We need a systemic approach to improving teacher preparation programs and ensuring that every teacher is ready to teach. The AFT has called for, and is working to advance, this vision, including a rigorous entry assessment, or bar-like exam, centered on subject and pedagogical knowledge and demonstration of teaching performance.
"NCTQ's report identifies areas that the AFT agrees need attention and improvement, including helping prospective educators implement early reading instruction in the context of the Common Core State Standards, work effectively with English language learners, and become proficient in assessment literacy. However, we would prefer to collaborate on professional ownership of, and solutions to, these problems instead of talking about a punitive approach to shame and blame institutions.
"While we agree with NCTQ on the need to improve teacher preparation, it would be more productive to focus on developing a consistent, systemic approach to lifting the teaching profession instead of resorting to attention-grabbing consumer alerts based on incomplete standards."
View the AFT's December 2012 report, "Raising the Bar: Aligning and Elevating Teacher Preparation and the Teaching Profession." [Updated to 2013 report, 4/25/14]

The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles were trying to do one thing Wednesday night in Ogden, Utah. Beat the Weber State Wildcats which would have accomplished a couple of things. It would have put ORU in the Final Four of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and avenge an earlier season loss to the Cats on senior day.
ORU Head Coach Scott Sutton said this Weber State team was the best team in the tournament and they proved it Wednesday night beating Oral Roberts 83-74.
The Golden Eagles pulled to within 57-55 in the second half, but the Wildcats went on a 9-0 run. They led by as many as 13 points in the closing moments.
Seniors Damon Bell-Holter and Warren Niles see their careers come to an end with the loss. ORU finishes with a mark of 20-15. It's their second straight 20-win season.

Not long till the meet bro. Real interested in how the full meet goes! Will be good man, prep has been strong
Strong bench session!
Squat opener of 825 is in the books. Took 865 but my setup was terrible. Felt light so I'm sure it'll go at the meet. Overall a great training cycle. Looking to hit some great numbers on my first full geared meet in 4 years. Sad I let it go this long. 11/3 will start putting Jersey Iron on the map again! Big things coming from the group this year!
Great Job today Tone.

11.3.12 RPS Apocalypse Meet Results
Squat - 835 (Opener)
Bench - 805 (2nd Attempt) PR Full Meet Bench (Old was 780. Bench Only PR is 815)
Dead - 775 (3rd Attempt) PR Full Meet & Deadlift Only (Old was 770)
Total - 2415 PR (Old was 2400)
This was my first Full Gear meet in 4 years. I shouldn't have let it go so long. Learned ALOT today about where my training has taken me and what I need to focus on in the coming year.
This meet moved VERY fast. We had raw lifters in the same flight as geared guys so the flight attempts flew by. I came out ill prepared in my head, didn't setup properly, and upon getting the up command, I fired from my hips but not my head. Starting falling forward, spotters took it. Came back out on the second attempt feeling much calmer and easily hit my 835 opener. Tim called for 880 on the 3rd attempt. When I heard my name announced as the "in the hole" lifter, I had my knees wrapped. Turns out, the guy ahead of me hadn't even had his knees wrapped and I had to stand around with the wraps on for a LONG time. Legs went numb and I tried to compensate by getting under the bar and sitting back into the suit quickly. Instead, I leaned forward and missed the lift.
My bench opener was 775. This felt very light and I had a hard time touching. When I did get it down, I fired it up. The bar had a VERY good amount of whip to it which caused me to double pump. We figured more weight would do the trick so we moved up to 805. 805 second attempt was successful but we did still notice a TON of whippiness to the bar making it a struggle to control it either up or down. The third attempt was 835. Again, the bar was handed out, I started down, and AGAIN the bar whipped pulling me out of the groove. I know it sounds like a ton of excuses here but I'll be posting videos. Please watch the bar whip and tell me what you think. Honestly. Maybe I am just being a bitch.
Deadlift opener was 725. I had alot of trouble getting down in my suit in training so I wore only my briefs on this attempt. Lift was easy, 3 whites. Tim made the call for 750 on my second. I decided to put the suit on for this one and go all out. Pull was fast and easy, but my left hand didn't hold and I dropped it. No lift. At this point I figured I couldn't lose. The 750 felt easy, I could possibly hit a Total PR and a deadlift PR. We called for 775. Good lift, no issues. 2415 Total.
I'd like to thank my entire team for their support, encouragement, and for believing in me even when I don't. I couldn't do it without you guys. I'd also like to thank AtLarge Nutrition and Chris Mason for his sponsorship. The ETS in particular was a godsend this meet. My joints haven't ever felt better including on HUGE doses of Fish Oil. Even now, after the meet when the muscles are aching, my joints still feel absolutely amazing on this stuff.
Great Meet Tone! Ready to see more in the future!
Great job Tone, congrats on the PR's!!! I'm pretty sure that isn't you in the second deadlift video, lol.
Super meet for you T - major props!!
Did you lose 100lbs for that second DL vid, then put it back on for the third?
Also, immense strength, Tone. In very real danger of getting 800lbs+ on each of the three lifts in the future!
Great work, really glad to see ya hit all the pr's. Congrats and bigger things to come.
Awesome meet!! Well done, great to see you hit a 3 lift meet like that. Plenty of PR's!! Awesome!! Appreciate the vids too, always good to be able to see the footage of the lifts!!
Very good job! 2415 is big.
Thanks guys. Not my best performance and I left alot on the platform but I'll take it for my first meet back in 4 years. Much more to come and I learned alot about what I need to do to prep better next time.
10.12.12 ME Bench
Time to get back on the horse. Don't have a plan just yet but I'm about 14 weeks out from my next comp. I'll need to keep the shirt off for a few weeks because it gashed the hell out of my tricep at the meet. There's a deep cut on my right tri that I"ll need to get healed up.
Rack Lockouts (I found a weakness here. I rely alot on technique to lockout. I do a twist with the elbows. Trying to do a straight up lockout KILLED ME. I've benched 520 raw and I was outdone tonight by a guy who benches 385. Disgusting.)
Impressive benching Tone!!! Is your next meet geared or raw?
Getting back into the swing.
11.14.12 Lower Accessory
Went in with a pretty good headache to try and get it done. Figured out after it was because I was dehydrated. Somehow all I'd had to drink all day was 3 cups of coffee. Terrible on my part.
Called it here. Went home and was in bed by 7pm after drinking a few huge cups of water. Slept through the night and felt 100% better this morning. I need to remember to drink water, not just fucking coffee.
I guess my diet of 60 oz of coffee a day is no good then?
Bench is strong. Good to see you back at it!

One of the biggest problems i see with guilds in the lower tier raids are their raid leadership. Their biggest problem is that they take so long to explain fights that by the time you get around to doing them, its just boring.
For example. You don't have to tell people what the boss does. You just need to tell them what THEY need to do. For example; Quick Shade of Aran explanation:
"Stay out of the Blizzard, Move to the wall when you get sucked to the center, don't move during flame wreath. Interupters interupt. Go."
Thats all you need to say. I have seen RLs in some of my friends guilds take 10 minutes on this fight when there are 3 new people in the instance. Its deflating and sucks up raid time.
Agreed. And fights like Maulgar are exercise in patience for healers, who want to know who's tanking and who they're healing, and then are happy. Then the DPS spend another 20 minutes figuring out precisely who is doing exactly what. (and then of course a DPSer messes up, raid wipes, and another 20 minutes is spent going over everything again, during which the healers are tabbed out and reading wowinsider while keeping ears peeled for the readycheck)

Dallas Cowboys running back Lance Dunbar suffered a foot injury that could force him to sit out the team's regular season opener against the New York Giants on Sep. 8.
Seeing how running back DeMarco Murray has struggled stay healthy over first two NFL seasons, it might not be such a bad idea for the Cowboys to consider a quality second option in the backfield. Dunbar, who is heading into his second season with Cowboys, could fit just that role. It would be a considerable bump in Dunbar's playing time on the Cowboys' offense as the fits into third down role.
So far this preseason, Dunbar has run eight times for 45 yards and caught six passes for 83 yards, while fumbling only once at the tail end of a long catch-and-run in the third-preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. But now Dunbar's status for the rest of the preseason and early regular season is up in the air due to the foot injury.
Dunbar has a sprained left foot, due to which he was wearing a protective boot when the Cowboys returned to practice at Valley Ranch on Monday, after holding the first month of training camp in California. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said that Dunbar is out for this week, and will remain day-to-day after that. However, Todd Archer of ESPNDAllas.com reported that Dunbar could miss up to 3-4 weeks due recovering from the foot injury. This not raises questions about Dunbar's availability for first few weeks of the regular season, but it could also cost him critical playing time in the Cowboys' backfield with just two games left to go in the preseason.
The injury along with Dunbar's uncertainty for the regular season opener will make strong case for the Cowboys to carry four running backs on the team's 53-man roster this season. Dunbar's absence will provide fifth-round pick Joseph Randle an opportunity to move up the depth chart, potentially to the No.2 spot. Randal wasn't immediately impressive in the preseason, but he closely trailed Dunbar in camp and will now have the next few weeks to potentially make a stronger impression. Phillip Tanner is also in the mix to backup Murray, with Dunbar sidelined.
Lance Dunbar's availability for Cowboys opener at risk with foot injury

The new Yamaha XJ6 Diversion is the half-faired version of the Yamaha XJ6. It's more powerful, better handling and prettier than the trusty old Diversion of the late 80s and early 90s. But just like that old original, it offers practical, fun and above all, affordable biking. It's easy to ride, so it's perfect for new riders looking for their first 'big' bike, it's comfy enough to make a superb workhorse, and for those who just want to let their hair down and have a bit of fun, it'll handle that too. Watch the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion video road test.
This is a retuned version of the engine you'll find in the current Yamaha FZ6 Fazer, which in turn is an old-school R6 lump. It gets a new cylinder head, softer-performance camshafts, reshaped inlet ports, new forged pistons and a one-piece crankcase and cylinder block. The motor breathes through a new fuel-injection system with smaller diameter (down 32mm from 36mm) throttle bodies and a neat underslung exhaust, featuring a three-way catalytic converter. A new clutch and gearshift design make changing gear smoother and easier than the Fazer. All this fettling is designed to make the XJ6 Diversion flexible and friendly to ride. Claimed power and torque is less than the Fazer (by 20bhp and 2ftlb), but usefully delivered much lower down the rev-range (2000rpm and 1500rpm). There's less need to stir the six-speed gearbox to keep up with traffic than the Yamaha FZ6 Fazer, making town riding nice and easy. At very low speeds the throttle response is snatchy when getting on and off the gas, but as speeds increase and the engine is spinning more it's less of a problem. Overall the motor is very smooth, friendly and has lots of power (77bhp) if you're prepared to rev it; enough for decent wheelies if that's your thing. It's a heap more fun than the Honda CBF600, the Yamaha's closest rival.Despite the fettling to make the engine gruntier, you can still feel its supersports DNA and it never really relaxes, it's always busy, buzzing and you often find yourself searching for another gear when you're already in sixth. It's not as bad as the Fazer's motor and you soon get used to it, but more grunt and less revs would make the XJ6 Diversion even better. As it is, the engine is still impressive and the new, smoother-action clutch and gearbox help the job along.
The Yamaha XJ6 Diversion has a new tubular steel diamond type chassis, using the engine as a stressed member, to save weight and add strength. Bodywork and steel box-section steel swingarm is new and the forks are down 2mm in diameter compared with the Fazer to 41mm.With its low seat and narrow fuel tank, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion is very easy to get on and ride, short or tall, on your own or with a pillion. On the move there's zero vibration felt from the engine and around town the Divvy is agile and easy to navigate through traffic. The steering lock is pretty handy and the wind protection from the half fairing is good too.Although very basic (only the rear shock is adjustable for preload), the suspension does a good job of keeping the Yamaha on the straight and narrow. Of course, if you push very hard you can find the limits of the chassis quite quickly, but for the most part the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion is stable, corners easily and is easy to ride in any conditions.
It's not overloaded with toys, but for the price, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion comes with a decent level of equipment. It has a centre-stand as standard, a neat trick with the underslung exhaust where it is, a multi-function LCD dash and preload adjustment for the rear shock. Handlebars are adjustable back and forward by 20mm and Yamaha offer an ABS version for an extra £300. Accessories from the official Yamaha catalogue include crash bobbins, a backrest, panniers and top box, an engine guard, tank pad, tank bag and rack. Compare and buy products for the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion in the MCN Shop.
For a budget machine, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion is well-designed, well thought-out and well-built. The paint finish is excellent and it's solidly screwed together, although there's a huge gap between the back of the engine and the rear shock, which you could fit a lunchbox in, which is a bit odd. Squeezed in under the five-grand mark, it's a lot of bike for the money and right in the budget middleweight ballpark.
The Yamaha XJ6 Diversion is a superb machine, is more rounded than the Yamaha FZ6 Fazer, comfy, practical and fun too, but it doesn't really bring anything new to the party; it's simply Yamaha's version of a Honda CBF600 or Suzuki GSX650F or Bandit. The current king of this class is the Kawasaki ER-6F or Versys. The Yamaha is physically bigger so would suit taller riders and it's more powerful too, but those Kawasakis are just that little funkier, punchier and don't take themselves too seriously, which we love.

I have many bikes over the year but old age catches up with you so I got an XJ6. At the end of the day it is a great little bike for knocking about on or even going for a blast with the lads. Although I'm blitzed on the straights I keep them honest on the bends, saying that my only gripe is the suspension nearly gives up when I'm hanging off it but hey ho it is a "budget" bike. A bit of preload on the front forks would have been great. Bike for beginers or long term bikers either way. Overall I'm pretty well pleased with the bike and so is my back!

brilliant for commuting & long trips
Found this bike as a bargain 6 months ago loaded with all the extras you could ever need and 7,000miles later i'm glad I did. As i'm young and only held a full licence for 3 years the insurance companies see me as a high risk so my dream R6 was to costly to insure so the xj was the only option. Absolutly brilliant for commuting, never misses a beat and does it in comfort, I love the GP inspired exhaust, and highly rate the OE Bridgestone 021. add a top box and soft luggage and it'll take you round Europe and back (with a gel seat), very pleased I didn't opt for something sportier as this bike is the perfect blend of tight corners and a workhorse for £4000.

Very underrated
This is my second XJ6 (the first got written off in sept 10, after 1-year/10000miles; smidsy'd). I have had it for 6 months now/5500miles. I do not commute on it, it is purely for pleasure.
They are great value £4000 on 24months 0% yam deal, less per months than some 600 hondas were over 60months!!!
Awesome bike, okay power is not it's strength, but like the first one I did 2600miles in Europe (this year in 9 days) and it will stick hours at 80/90 on the m'way/autobahn.
Also handle pretty well, bumpy surfaces only unsettle it with full luggage under heavy braking. The brakes can also get a little overloaded under repeated heavy turns, riding down an alpine pass is fun as a result; due to the decent spread of torque and user-friendly drive you can also mix it with heavier, more powerful kit.
lots of accessories now - the germans, italians and french love it, also the ameicans have it as the FZ6R and really love it.
Tyres as standard (bt021s and dunlop qualifiers) are pretty rubbish - yam should fit better rubber.
Both of mine have been geared-up to make them less busy on fast roads.
Need to get a tail-tidy and braided hoses.
As an experienced rider (past bikes zx6r, tdm850, fzr1000) I think this bike is a little gem.

Courtesy Bike
I have this as a courtesy bike and must say I'm impressed, I commute about 70 miles a day and I find this bike perfect for the job it's quick enough for my liking, comfortable and handles well, my own bike is a 1990 CBR 600 and although the CBR obviously has more power the Diversion is better on the road as the power comes in a lot lower in the rev range and as for the looks compared to my 1993 Divvie that I had a year ago there is no comparison in fact the only problem I have with this bike is that Yamaha shouldn't have called it a Diversion as it's nothing like the Diversion of old. Everyone who has seen it always asks what it is and how its much better looking than the old one.

Most uncomfortable bike ever
Bought mine -an ex demo, with 600 miles on and at a good discount.
Looks good handles well, but with everything set up for me, it is still the most uncomfortable bike I;ve ever riden.
The seat is si thin backside is numb after 20 miles, arms and hands are numb after 30 miles.
I have a Kawasaki er6-f and I can ride that 200 miles in one go and not have any problems.
I really wish I had given the Diversion a longer test ride-and I never would have bought it.

Great all round package
Bought mine new in March and got a great discount. Easy running in period and cheap first service. Now the engine is run in, opening up shows that this is a bike that can better most, if not all, of the other all rounders out there. The engine is strong and pulls well, even two up. Its easy to handle in all conditions. OK, its not going to worry riders on sportier machines but thats not what it was made for. As a first big bike or an affordable, reliable commuter that will get the job done, you won't get better. I'm was originally thinking of swapping it after a year but I like it too much!

excellent first bike
bought mine 2 weeks ago and only covered 600 miles.restricted to 33bhp at the moment as i am still on restricted license.A lot quicker than my cg though.As some others have mentioned it could do with another gear as the engine always sounds busy and i also keep trying for the 7th gear.I have had it up to 7000 revs after just having it serviced and don'feel any vibration at all yet.took it on a 190 mile run at the weekend and worked the mileage out at 59.3mpg,mainly motorway and 2 up so i thought that was good.clocks are easy to read and it is a comfortable ride.As a newby to the big bike world i can't compare it to anything else but as a first big bike i would say they are fantastic,and would recomend them to other people.

Good but Vibey
I bought the new Divvie to replace my GSX650F in March 10.
I have now covered about 1100 miles and comments so far.
Good Bits
It's light and very Manoeuvrable
Throttle response is Brilliant no on-off stutter or delay at all.
Love the underslung exhaust it makes a pleasant noise but more importantly doesn't get in the way - the monstrosity on the GSX650F was a pain.
Handles nicely and grips well on the Roadsmarts it was supplied with although the ride is a bit choppy.
Good instruments - can see the clock at the same time as the odo.
The headlight is good despite only having a single H4 bulb, however is does have a left dip pattern which means masking if you want to go on the continent.
Fuel consumption so far 55-60mpg.
Bad Bits
The worst Vibration - it is pretty vibey just like the old Divvie I had. Around 6500rpm is the worst this is 70 - 75 mph.
Build quality - it hasn't seen salt although has been used in the rain and some fasteners are already showing signs of corrosion.
Keeping it clean isn't going to be easy, I have fitted a Fender Extenda to try and help keep the Engine clean.
The plastics especially the top fairing are a bit Flimsy.
That's it, good in parts but I think so far the GSX650F was better.
18 April 2010
Great first big bike
I covered about 5000 miles on the bike in all weathers. It's a great bike, really good value for money and ideal for commuters.
The handlebars can vibrate a bit at about 6000rpm but it's not a problem if you wear thick gloves.

Living in Michigan, most have probably noticed the insane increase in allergies. For three months I seemed to be battling one of the worst colds of my life.

One of the most annoying things in the world to me is when my hair decides to become a mess of static. I am not entirely sure what causes it, I just know that it happens a lot when I blow dry and straighten my hair, leaving it so unmanageable it needs to be washed again meaning all that work and time was a complete waste. I have tried countless anti static Continue reading

I have always had a lot of issues with static and my clothes. Since clingy fabric is both unattractive and annoying, finding a static remover has been a top priority for me, particularly since I graduated from college and wanted to make an excellent first impression for possible employers.

Most of us like to keep things clean even if it is not something we do all that often. We as human beings at least want the appearance of a clean environment.

The city of Sioux City has won another round in its legal battle with the Department of Transportation over speed cameras on I-29.
A judge has rejected a request by the Iowa DOT to dismiss a temporary injunction that bars it from removing the cameras.
The state claims the portable cameras on trailers are an obstacle to drivers in the construction zone, but Judge Jeffrey Poulson says the DOT failed to prove that.
The judge granted a temporary injunction late last month.
The city plans to seek a permanent injunction to keep the cameras in place.

Upcoming in Gray Wolves Basketball: Having lost five of its last six games, Lourdes looks to rebound this week with a pair of Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference contests. The Gray Wolves will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich. to battle Concordia (Mich.) on Wednesday evening before returning to Tam-o-Shanter on Saturday afternoon to entertain Indiana Tech.
Head Coach Andre Smith: In his third season both on the Lourdes bench and overall as a men's collegiate head coach, Andre Smith has a 63-54 (.538) record. He is the only head coach in Lourdes program's history. Smith was the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2012-2013.
Series Notes: Lourdes is 5-3 all-time against Concordia (Mich.) dating back to Nov. 2, 2010 after the Gray Wolves defeated the Cardinals earlier this season. The two schools have split the first four meetings all-time in Ann Arbor, Mich. Lourdes is 4-3 all-time against Indiana Tech dating back to Oct. 30, 2010 after the Warriors downed the Gray Wolves earlier this year. Indiana Tech won the two previous meetings at Tam-o-Shanter, but last year Lourdes won its "home" game against the Warriors at Adrian College.
Earlier This Season: Lourdes forced 21 turnovers on Dec. 7 and made 5-of-7 three-point attempts as the Gray Wolves defeated Concordia (Mich.) 66-56 at Tam-o-Shanter. Elvin Butler led Lourdes with 18 points while Josh Fugate paced the Cardinals with 15 points. Indiana Tech scored 12 of the first 14 points on Dec. 14 and defeated the Gray Wolves 65-55 on Dec. 14 in Fort Wayne, Ind. Zach Steinmetz scored 20 points to lead Lourdes while Rontray Chavis tallied 20 points in the win for the Warriors.
Wrapping Up Last Week: Madonna went on a 24-2 run midway through the first half which proved to be the difference on Wednesday night as the Crusaders downed the Gray Wolves 61-49. Jake DuPree led Lourdes with 13 points while Zach Steinmetz tallied a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds. On Saturday Lourdes battled back from a nine-point second half deficit, but came up short in a 57-55 loss at Michigan-Dearborn. Elvin Butler and Ron Dukes each scored 15 points while Steinmetz tallied 10 points and 18 boards.
Scouting Concordia (Mich.): The Cardinals have won two of their last three games after defeating Concordia (Ill.) 80-74 in the Concordia Invitational. John Schaeffer leads the team in scoring, averaging 15.6 points per game while Josh Fugate chips in 14.9 points per night for Concordia. Schaeffer ranks eighth in NAIA Division II averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game and is shooting 42.9% from long range.
Scouting Indiana Tech: The Warriors enter the week having won two straight following a 68-59 victory over Michigan-Dearborn. Saturday's game at Aquinas was postponed due to weather, and Indiana Tech will head to Siena Heights on Wednesday before visiting Lourdes. Rontray Chavis leads the Warriors averaging 16.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while shooting 60.6% from the floor, a mark that ranks 11th in NAIA Division II. Jeff Hoskins adds 13.2 points per night and Nick Lewis chips in 11.6 points per game. As a team Indiana Tech is allowing just 63.4 points per game, sixth best in the country.
Schedule Change: Lourdes regular season finale against Aquinas has been moved to Owens Community College in Perrysburg due to a scheduling conflict at Tam-o-Shanter. The game will also tip off one hour earlier than originally schedule, with the ball now being tossed into the air at 2 p.m.
Steinmetz a Mainstay in the Lineup: Zach Steinmetz is the only Gray Wolf to start all 22 games this season. In fact, not one else has started more than 19 contests throughout the year. A total of 12 different players have started at least one game though.
Only Three in Every Game: Only three Lourdes players have seen action in all 22 games this year. In addition to Zach Steinmetz who has started every contest, Jerome Talton and Isiah Boddie are the only other Gray Wolves to take the floor each night.
Double Trouble: Zach Steinmetz notched two more double-doubles last week, giving him a total of 10 on the season, including seven over his last nine games. He began the week scoring 12 points and grabbing 14 boards against Madonna before tallying 10 points and grabbing 18 rebounds at Michigan-Dearborn.
Making Shots: Both Eric Worthey and Zach Steinmetz are shooting the ball well from the floor this year. Worthey is connecting at a 56.2% clip while Steinmetz has made 52.7% of the shots he has attempted. Elvin Butler has been solid from three-point range, shooting 41.4% from beyond the arc.
Shooting is Key: Lourdes has not won a game this season in which the Gray Wolves have shot a lower percentage from the floor than their opponents.
Captains Named: Lourdes has two captains on the roster this season. Serving in the leadership role for 2013-2014 are Elvin Butler and Jake DuPree, both first time captains.
This and That: Lourdes ranks third in the country allowing just 62.0 points per game ... opponents are shooting just 30.1% from three-point range against the Gray Wolves, seventh best in NAIA Division II ... Lourdes is in a stretch of playing four out of five games away from home ... the Gray Wolves are currently in a tie for sixth in the WHAC, but just one game behind fifth place in the win column and equal in losses with eighth place.

I'm known to geek over anything anatomy or adaptive sports. You'll find me stopping to pick flowers for my hair, living waist deep in my studies or spending the weekend cooking up a storm.
I'm an Aries and ENFJ by nature.
My favorites are fruit, artsy things, wearing aprons and sprawling down on the ground instead of actual chairs.
This is my place of inspirations, thoughts, and daily occurrences. Enjoy.
Just 2 blocks of South street, pop inside and you will find this GEM.
It's fun (each nametag has a personal comment written in market), HUGE (2 floors and just keeps turning corners!), and has everything (Kitchen, music, formal wear, toys, jewelery, houseware, etc.)
Its well worth a visit..or three!
Don't run away! I hate math, too! But these numbers are important.
According to a May 4th article posted on autoblog.com, the average cost of car ownership is $8,946 a year. This includes monthly payments, fuel, maintenance and insurance.
So, if you're a recent college grad barely pulling $30k…
This is a rare occassion where I don't mind being wrong :)

As my colleague Dan Nancarrow just tweeted, that was a drop-a-thon that somehow ended up being played like a semi-final. Brisbane win in an absolute slog at the end as they hold out the Cowboys 16-12. At halftime, I doubt anybody would have seen that sort of finish coming. There were enough handling errors to make you wonder what was on the other channel. Then, it went up about 35 gears. Players were throwing themselves into everything with reckless abandon and the pace of this new-style game had them off their feet. Brisbane looked ravenous for the win though and found the killer player. Hunt patrolled the blind, hit Copley, who found McCullough to score under the posts. The Cowboys travel home without a kitchen sink and the points. Plenty of pundits had a fork through Brisbane before the season started. Now they are two from two, has anyone changed their mind?
And finally, amid all of the brilliant action on the field, another note to say well done to both sides for honouring the memory of Daniel Morcombe. The teams wore red armbands tonight in a very nice touch from both clubs. Donate to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation here if you'd like to help out a wonderful cause.
FULLTIME Brisbane 16 North Queensland 12.
Brisbane hang on! What a gutsy win.
Desperate stuff. Wowee this game has shifted up a few gears. Thurston with a last-gasp lunge at the line but he can't get there and loses the ball in the mad scramble. Brisbane drop it out with 10 seconds left. They lead by four.
Cowboys have the ball. They have two minutes to go 80m.
No mistake from Parker. Brisbane on top 16-12 with less than five minutes to play.
Copley through! Passes inside and McCullough goes under the posts! TRY Brisbane with six minutes to go. It's 14-12 with a kick to come.
Ten minutes to go and we are officially in the desperation zone. Players throwing themselves into absolutely everything here. Now we're talking. Brisbane working it out of their end as Ray Hadley next door almost has a melt-down. Cowboys lead 12-10.
May be a try here to the Cowboys. Linnett thinks he's got this down and the video referee will take a look. NO TRY.
This game is very 'round two'.
Barba limping but still on there. Not looking particularly flash though.
Hunt's over! But it's a penalty for obstruction. And they haven't even gone upstairs. McGuire I think it was. He was trying to get back onside and Hunt used him as a shield. He's having quite the night, Josh McGuire. On report twice and now in the middle of a disallowed try. Still 12-10 to the Cowboys.
Mistake here from the Cowboys at their own end. GOLDEN chance for Brisbane here. And a huge all in BRAWL... sorry.... PUSHING SESSION WITH SOME STRONGLY WORDED WARNINGS has broken out. Luckily, the players have released each other's jumpers and walked away with only some feelings hurt.
I can confirm that Jason Taumalolo is a complete manimal.
Silly from Josh McGuire as he attacks the legs of Lui after the kick. Now the Cowboys have a penalty where it landed, which is almost right in front of the Brisbane posts. And he's on report - again.
No good with the kick, is Thurston. Let's make it 10-10 with half an hour left to go at Suncorp.
Possible try here for the Cows. Lui dinked it across and Feldt has knocked it back for Gavin Cooper. Maybe the put down is the only issue but this looks... like... a... TRY to North Queensland. It's 10-10 with a kick on the way.
The Cowboys get a decent look here but fumble on the final tackle trying to make something of Thurston's cross-kick. Now Brisbane try to counter-attack and drop it themselves. Whoa momma. What else is on?
Play is back. I'm a bit sad after Souths lost to Manly (again) but will try and keep myself composed long enough to get to the end of this one. Both teams really need to pick up the quality here. Brisbane had the final say in the first half though and have probably looked just the better of the two.
HALFTIME Brisbane 10 North Qld 6.
And after all that.... TRY to the Broncos. Finally someone managed to hold the football for a few tackles and Brisbane tried some daring offloads. It all paid off as the Cowboys were strung out in defence and Josh Hoffman, the great five-eighth (never in doubt), sneaks through a lovely left kick. Daniel Vidot had it all to himself, aside from a few other Broncos players, and scores in the corner. Conversion is no good but Brisbane lead 10-6.
Oh dear. It's turned into a comedy of errors. Everyone was laughing until they looked at how much their ticket cost. It's 6-6.
The pace has slackened a tough here as these sides slip into something resembling a tempo. Exchanging sets between their respective 20m lines at the moment and waiting for one side to blink. It's 6-6 with just under 10 minutes remaining in the half. Some poor handling here by the Cowboys though and Brisbane will feed the scrum on their 40m line.
Penalties look to be even more damaging for teams under these new rules. Cowboys get a penalty on their 10m line, end up with the mini-bomb on Brisbane's line in a set of six. Metres easier to get with the wrestle going out the door.
Thaiday dangerous for Brisbane. Looks a bit better when he's not smashing it up the middle. Hunt's kick is far too deep though and the Cowboys get an easy reprieve.
Linnett goes high on McGuire. Collars him with a clothesline. Clumsy stuff and McGuire is up and about after taking a while to get to his feet. Initially, both referees just let is slide despite having a perfect view but then blow a penalty after seeing the man was hurt. So... my question... if McGuire toughs it out and gets up and plays it, there's no issue? But because he stayed down, it's now a penalty? Anyhoo, it's 6-6 after 20 minutes. Good type of game.
Gavin Cooper down and Josh McGuire is on report. May have bopped him on the nose. The Cowboys get running again now and have certainly found their mojo now. Brisbane defend grimly on the line and force the knock on. Well played to that young man.
Thurston makes it 6-6. I'm loving the new speed of the game. Frantic footy. Go on then.
The Cowboys get a penalty and Thurston goes for the tap... but Brisbane manage to bring him down (just). And here we go... Morgan is over but I think McCullough has held him up. But it doesn't last long... Tamou romps through, Thurston in support, spins... TRY North Queensland. It's 6-4.
Barba scheming... but the grubber has gone too far and Reed's dive was in vain. A restart for North Queensland but they're only clinging on after 13 minutes. Broncos lead 6-0.
Good bomb from Hunt and Maranta almost comes up with a handy flick-on there but the support player couldn't handle. This has been an emphatic opening 10 minutes from Brisbane. Can they keep up the pace? Cowboys have barely had a meaningful touch.
Wow. Kyle Feldt with a 60m drop out. That had some wheels. But it makes no difference as Brisbane strike with the first TRY. Matt Gillett under the sticks. Barba with an inside ball and Gillett opens them up like a tin of sardines. Oh, so, simple. Broncos lead 6-0 after seven minutes.
Brisbane get the first crack at the Cowboys line. Hunt is busy early and Jack Reed tests the visitors with a little grubber. Drop-out and Brisbane reset. Handy start for the home side.
Teams on the park, good crowd in... know it feels like the NRL is in town. Cowboys to start proceedings. And both teams wearing red arm bands to support the Daniel Morcombe Foundation tonight. It's a lovely touch. Here's the link if you would like to make a donation to a wonderful cause and support an extraordinary family.
It's back. OK, technically the rugby league season started last week, although you wouldn't really have known it in Queensland's south-east, which doesn't mind a bit of footy occasionally. Delayed telecasts, zero NRL games... at least the Roar were having a kick. Fast forward one week and copious amounts of debate about why players can't stand journalists later and we find ourselves at Suncorp Stadium as the Broncos host North Queensland.
Both of these sides won their opening round matches, with Brisbane producing a mild upset of the Bulldogs and the Cowboys finishing over the top of the Raiders. The Broncos had a strange pre-season, playing well at the Nines before trialing like a horse with three legs. But they showed some desire and execution in defence and will need all that and more tonight against the Cowboys.
Anthony Griffin said during the week that the eradication of the dreaded 'wrestle' could put the game at the mercy of the great playmakers. If that's the case, advantage Cowboys. But I think this one is a genuine toss of the coin. Should be about 40,000 here tonight, so that might keep Todd Greenberg's bloodpressure down for a week or two.

He was training to become a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation's first military program for African-American pilots.
She was the bold, daring woman who caught his eye. At 18, she'd become the first black woman in Alabama to earn a pilot's license. She had hopes of becoming a military pilot, too.
Flying was intoxicating. It provided Herbert and Mildred a sense of freedom -- to be themselves, to dream big. The in-your-face racism of the segregated South was gone, if only for a while. In the air, the sky was literally the limit.
It takes pioneers to force change. Herbert and Mildred would play their part in the years ahead. But in those early days, they didn't see themselves as trailblazers. They were young and in love.
More than anything, flight provided a rare opportunity to see each other. He'd call her up on Fridays: "Are you gonna be flying this weekend?"
"Of course," she'd say.
They'd pick a time to meet. Their rendezvous point: 3,000 feet above a bridge at Lake Martin, 25 miles away. He'd be flying a repaired AT6 trainer. She'd be in a much slower Piper J-3 Cub.
"When I'd get to Lake Martin, I'd see this bright yellow Cub putt-putting along," he said. "I'd be real proud: She was on time and on target."
He'd pull down and fly in formation with her. They couldn't communicate by radio; her Cub didn't have one. All they could do was smile, wave and blow kisses.
Seeing each other in flight created a bond. When they flew together, it was as if they were holding hands in midair. At the end of their aerial encounter, he'd peel away, only to circle back. He'd sneak up behind her, pull in front and leave her in a trail of airwash. Her tiny craft shook mightily. She'd come to expect it every weekend.
"It didn't faze me," she'd say. "I was the better pilot. ... I just didn't fly the fastest aircraft."
The two would become known as the first couple of the Tuskegee Airmen. Herbert would go on to earn the rank of lieutenant colonel in a 27-year Air Force career. He remains one of the few men in U.S. history to be a fighter pilot and a squadron maintenance chief, a designation he notes with pride. Rarely is a pilot also charged with making sure the squadron's planes are airworthy.
Mildred is counted among the history-making Tuskegee Airmen, too. Yet her dream of flying for her country was snubbed. A black woman, she was told, couldn't earn her wings.
"She was one of those unfortunate victims of prejudice, bigotry and discrimination," says Carter, now 94. "She wanted to go as high and as fast as she could.
"If she had been able to get into the Air Corps, she'd have been amazing."
Instead, she would tell people: "I did the next best thing. I married a fighter pilot."
The two wed in 1942, a month after he earned his wings as a second lieutenant. He would go off to war in April 1943; she'd remain in Tuskegee, where she worked at the airfield.
He would write letters nearly every day. But the war didn't fully sink in for her until she went to the Tuskegee movie theater one day. There, in a newsreel on the screen, she saw her husband and his unit tending to their aircraft. She wept.

BP, Deepwater Horizon and Accountability, Should You Fret?

Among all the other silly stuff going on these days – the Oscars, the Sequester and so forth – is the fact that the Federal Government's case against BP (NYSE: BP) is finally moving forward. It's been about three years since the gulf oil spill that cost 11 people their lives and did a god-awful amount of damage to natural resources along the gulf.

Should You Invest in Shale Gas in Appalachia?
By Nate Wooley - February 20, 2013 | Tickers: CHK, GPOR, HES, MWE, WPZ
Unless you, as an investor, have been willfully blind, America is undergoing somewhat of an energy renaissance lately. The growth of the natural gas sector has made for a better forward-looking energy outlook for the country and that should make it easier for people to get ahead. Possibly, even in some areas of the country where most boom times just pass right on by.
In this case I'm discussing more »

Chinese Energy Companies Shop in Canada

The Chinese Dragon hungers for more energy. Yes, Chinese energy companies are at it again. They have renewed their shopping spree for energy assets around the globe this past week with a stop off in energy-rich Canada.

The Shopping Spree Continues

Linn Energy (NASDAQ: LINE) recently made to two separate announcements that would seem to indicate that they are taking their strategy to a whole new level.

Coming to a Portfolio Near You: Renewable Energy MLPs
By Matthew Luke - June 18, 2012 | Tickers: FSLR, NEE, SZYM, SPWR
Two weeks ago, Senators Christopher Coons (Democrat from Delaware) and Jerry Moran (Republican from Kansas) introduced Senate Bill S.3275 - Master Limited Partnership Parity Act (MLPPA). The MLPPA looks to amend the existing US internal revenue tax code governing the formation of Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) in the energy sector. Simply put, if passed, this bipartisan legislation will make it possible for renewable-energy companies to form MLPs.
Follow the Route to Phillips 66
By Michael Mistaleski - June 11, 2012 | Tickers: COP, PSX
Before ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) spun off Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) earlier this year it was the third largest integrated energy company in the United States. According to Barron's, institutional investors have pressured integrated energy companies to split off their refining operations from their exploration and development units because they are fond of pure plays. Phillips 66 is a pure play worth being fond of.

America's Growing Employability Problem

We've been fixated on one set of statistics as investors, and other than the roller coaster of nauseating news out of Europe, markets in the States rise and fall in lockstep with the employment readings. We keep hearing that there are jobs out there but unemployment is stubborn and politicians on both sides of the aisle are pointing fingers and pointing to November.

America Has Gas....Smell Anything Rotten?

The fundamental reasons for my purchase are still in place, that being sound management and a good business plan. So what does this have to do with natural gas stocks? The price more »
Chesapeake's Token Response: Aubrey No Longer Chairman
By Tim Brugger - May 2, 2012 | Tickers: CHK, XEC, LINE
If today's announcement signifies anything it's the Board of Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) remains firmly entrenched in a state of mediocrity. Investors however – several of which responded to the previous article detailing the recent irregularities by CEO Aubrey McClendon – are likely to be pleased.

Exxon After the Sell-Off, There are Still Better Options
By Tim Brugger - April 26, 2012 | Tickers: CVX, COP, XOM, RDS-A
Seems odd to beat down a stock after earning $9.5 billion in a quarter, but that's the world we live in. Oil is king, and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) has a permanent place on the throne. Even after the recent "disappointing" earnings release Exxon remains the clear leader in the industry. But does that make the $403 billion behemoth – particularly after the recent sell-off – a buy? Let's be more »
The Global Oil Industry and Resource Nationalism
By Tony Daltorio - April 19, 2012 | Tickers: EC, XOM, PBR, YPF
As detailed in a previous article, the government of Argentina – led by its president, Cristina Fernandez – has nationalized its largest oil company, YPF (NYSE: YPF). In the process, it expropriated 51 percent of the shares held by the majority holder, Spain's Repsol. Before the nationalization, the Spanish company had been trying to sell its shares to a Chinese company which was rumored to be Sinopec.

Decade-Low Natural Gas Prices Expose Gas Companies
By Tony Daltorio - April 12, 2012 | Tickers: BHI, BBG, CHK, CRK
Thanks to newer drilling technologies, what was a looming natural gas shortage in the United States a few short years ago has today turned into a natural gas glut. The glut has sent the price of the commodity into free-fall, hitting a two-decade low price of below $2 per million BTU. Natural gas has lost more than half its value from just a year ago.

The Week that Was: FedEx, eBay, Amazon and Brookfield Infrastructure

Though the week ended on a down note – the market itself didn't perform well, and then there was that teeny little trading glitch on Friday that blew up Apple stock trading for a while – fundamentally little has changed.

US Gas Boom Depresses Coal Companies
By Tony Daltorio - March 22, 2012 | Tickers: ANR, ACI, CNX, RIO
The shale gas boom in the United States has been good news for companies involved in shale extraction and others including industrial companies and consumers who have benefited from lower prices for natural gas. But there is one industry in particular that has been impacted negatively in a big way by cheap and plentiful shale gas...the U.S. coal industry.

Chesapeake Energy Circling the Wagons

As the second largest producer of natural gas in the country, Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) has been stung as much as any company by the lowest natural gas prices in a decade. The response -- or perhaps more accurately, responses -- to a historically depressed market were recently announced by company management.

Change of Fortune for Cheniere Energy
