Many people wondered what fate would befall Ask Jeeves once it was subsumed into Barry Diller's sprawling InterActive Corp online empire. Would the search engine be relegated to second-class status to merely drive traffic to other IAC properties?
Quite the contrary, said Ask Jeeves' CEO Steve Berkowitz in a keynote conversation with Danny Sullivan at the recent Search Engine Strategies show in San Jose. Jeeves' will "shine in search," said Berkowitz, outlining how the company plans to push ahead in the coming years to become even more competitive with Google, Yahoo and the other titans of search. Andrew Goodman recaps the conversation with a liberal dose of his customary acerbic insights in today's SearchDay article, Ask Jeeves CEO: "We Are Focused on Core Search".

University of Maine News
Brewer Quoted in Kennebec Journal Article on 2nd Congressional District Race
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, spoke with the Kennebec Journal about the race between Democrat Emily Cain and Republican Bruce Poliquin for Maine's 2nd Congressional District seat. Brewer said Cain is the favorite at the start of the campaign, and Poliquin may have trouble winning because he is more conservative than the moderates who have held the seat most recently. He said Poliquin has, "a very specialized, foundational group of supporters and it's hard to see how much bigger he can make that."
Maine Edge Advances Summer Technology Camp

Press Herald Interviews Counihan About Job Placement of Graduates
Patty Counihan, director of the Career Center at the University of Maine, spoke with the Portland Press Herald for the article, "Finding a job isn't getting any easier for Maine teens." Counihan said hiring plunged five or six years ago, but "it seems like it is coming back slowly but surely." In 2009, she told the Press Herald, about 60 companies signed up to recruit workers on campus, and this year it was back up to the normal level of around 100. She said the university doesn't compile overall job placement figures until about six months after a class graduates, but knows IBM hired a handful of UMaine graduates this year, while Enterprise Rent-A-Car hired nine. She said a substantial number of other graduates had offers or interest from potential employers, as well.
Brewer Quoted in Press Herald Article on Primary Voting Results
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Portland Press Herald article about the results of the Democratic and Republican primaries for Maine's 2nd Congressional District. Emily Cain won the nomination as the Democratic candidate, and Bruce Poliquin won over Kevin Raye in the district's Republican primary. Voter turnout was predictably low across the district, according to the article. Brewer said final turnout numbers would be a key factor in the Republican race, saying before the results were in that a heavy turnout would benefit Raye and a low turnout would help Poliquin.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A unit of account is a standard monetary unit of measurement of value/cost of goods, services, or assets. It is one of three well-known functions of money.[1] It lends meaning to profits, losses, liability, or assets.
The accounting monetary unit of account suffers from the pitfall of not being a stable unit of account over time. Inflation destroys the assumption that money is stable which is the basis of classic accountancy. In such circumstances, historical values registered in accountancy books become heterogeneous amounts measured in different units. The use of such data under traditional accounting methods without previous correction often leads to invalid results.[2]
A standard unit of account allows meaningful interpretation of prices, costs, and profits, so that an entity can monitor its own performance and its shareholders can make sense of its past performance and have an idea of its future profitability. In modern economies, money in the form of currency usually serves the role of the standard unit of account. The use of money, under conditions of price stability, vastly improves the efficiency of market economies.
Historic examples of units of account include the livre tournois, used in France from 1302 to 1794 whether or not livre coins were minted. In the 14th century Naples used the grossi gigliati, and Bohemia used the Prague groschen.
At any one time there might be two or three units of account in one region based on the local base, silver and sometimes gold coins, and each often expressed in L.S.D units in ratio 240:12:1. The Florentine gold florin, the French franc and the electoral rheingulden all became pounds (240 denari) of account. Units of account would often survive over 100 years despite the original coins changing composition and availability (e.g. the Castilian maravedi).[3]
A modern unit of account is the European Currency Unit, used in the European Union from 1979 to 1998; its replacement in 1999, the euro, was also just a unit of account until the introduction of notes and coins in 2002.
Unit of account is the main way of calculating a carrier or ship owner's liability in relation to carriage of goods contracts in which the Hague-Visby Rules apply.[citation needed]
The use of a unit of account in financial accounting, according to the American business model, allows investors to invest capital into those companies that provide the highest rate of return. The use of a unit of account in managerial accounting enables firms to choose between activities that yield the highest profit.
In economics, a standard unit of account is used for statistical purposes to describe economic activity. Indexes such as GDP and the CPI are so broad in their scope that compiling them would be impossible without a standard unit of account. After being compiled, these figures are often used to guide governmental policy; especially monetary and fiscal policy.
In calculating the opportunity cost of a policy, a standard unit of account allows for the creation of a composite good. A composite good is a theoretical abstraction that represents an aggregation of all other opportunities that are not realized by the first good. It allows an economic decision's benefits to be weighed against the costs of all other possible goods in that society, without having to refer to any directly. Often, this is most easily accomplished with money.

PHILADELPHIA - NOVEMBER 08: Trent Cole #58 and Chris Clemons #91 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrate after Cole sacked Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys in the third quarter at Lincoln Financial Field on November 8, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
Wednesday's look at Eagles pass rushers revealed some interesting insights. But with that limited data we could only compare players within the Eagles organization -- we couldn't tell who was good compared to the players on other teams.
That's why this time we're going to look at the Total Pressure per Rush for the entire NFC East. See the chart below.
The first thing that stands out is that Trent Cole has surpassed DeMarcus Ware as the best pass rusher in the division. Last year Ware led the pack as the only player with more than 13 percent. This time he hasn't fallen off much, but Cole has improved by almost five percentage points.
Meanwhile, the second-best rusher last year was Anthony Spencer of the Cowboys, who has droppd down to 11th this season. That could explain why Dallas's pass rush isn't nearly as fearsome as everyone thought it would be during the offseaon.
Who has stepped up to take Spencer's place as best young rusher? Why, Eagles rookie Brandon Graham, who despite only amassing three sacks, is third best in the division in total pressures. He's followed close behind by the guy who shares his snaps, Juqua Parker, and another Eagles back-up, Darryl Tapp. None of these players have been flashy, but they're making an impact even when you're not noticing them.
Further down the list are Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo and suspended leviathan Albert Haynesworth, who apparently hasn't been playing too poorly. Finally we get to some Giants, where first round pick Jason Pierre-Paul has caused more havoc than his veteran defensive colleagues. While Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora share the division lead in sacks with 10 each, their overall impact has been less impressive on a per play basis -- only Cole has been in on more passing downs than Tuck and Umenyiora.
Ultimately, there are still a few more weeks left before the NFC East pass rush crown can be awarded. But the Eagles certainly seem to be doing a fine job harassing opposing quarterbacks thus far.

Non-Neutral Taxation and the Efficiency Gains of the 1986 Tax Reform Act - - A New Look
AbstractThe Tax Reform Act of 1986 considerably altered the differentials between taxes on corporate and noncorporate capital. Conventional wisdom, relying on various incarnations of the Harberger model, suggests rather small efficiency effects from these changes in corporate tax wedges. But the Harberger models appear to understate greatly the efficiency effects of changes in the corporate tax wedge because they do not admit production of the same good by both corporate and noncorporate firms. A new model which allows corporate and noncorporate firms to coexist within the same industry suggests a significant efficiency gain from the Tax Reform Act. The model predicts that the new law reduced excess burden by at least $31 billion and eliminated about half of the total distortion from non-neutral taxation. Most of this gain occurs because the Tax Reform Act, while keeping the aggregate effective tax rate constant, considerably narrowed these differentials in industries where there is substantial noncorporate production.

Update: Alleged Arsonist Injured In Breathitt County Shooting /Collision
Date of News Release: 09/02/2011
(Hazard, Ky.) -- Charges were filed yesterday on a Breathitt County man involved in a shooting in the Rousseau community of Breathitt County. Forty-nine year old Roger Spencer, of Rousseau, was arrested on one count of assault first degree. The charge stems from the arson/shooting incident that took place during the morning of September 1, 2011. Ray Brown sustained several gunshot wounds from a rifle fired at him by Roger Spencer. Roger Spencer is currently lodged in the Three Forks Regional Jail, in Beattyville, KY. Ray Brown remains in stable condition at Holston Valley Medical Center. Detective Gary Sandlin is continuing this investigation.

Alleged Arsonist Injured In Breathitt County Shooting /Collision
Date of News Release: 09/01/2011
(Hazard, Ky.) -- On September 1, 2011 at approximately 6:07 a.m., Post 13 in Hazard received a call of an abandoned house fire on Wolf Creek Road, in the Rousseau Community of Breathitt County. Rousseau Fire Department responded to the scene and advised that there were actually three structures on fire, and that there were several subjects in the area arguing amongst each other. A short time later, Post 13 was advised that one subject had been shot, and that there had been a single vehicle collision related to this incident. KSP, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, and Breathitt County Sheriffs Department officers responded to the scene. Initial investigation determined that Ray Brown, of Rousseau, allegedly set fire to three abandoned houses as well as an old bus. Several residents in the neighborhood confronted Mr. Brown, with one man brandishing a firearm. Witnesses advised that Ray Brown got into a vehicle and fled in the direction of one of the subjects, Roger Spencer, who reportedly had to move out of the way to avoid being struck. Mr. Spencer apparently fired several shots at the car, with a .22 rifle, which continued away from the scene. As Ray Brown continued on in the car, he struck two parked vehicles belonging to firefighters, before colliding with a tree and going over an embankment. Jackson Fire Department responded to the collision scene and removed Ray Brown by mechanical means. Ray Brown was later airlifted, by LifeNet, to Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport, TN, for treatment of injuries he sustained from gunshots and the collision. He is currently listed in critical but stable condition. Investigators are questioning Roger Spencer concerning this incident, but no charges have been filed at this time. This incident remains under investigation by KSP Detective Scott Sandlin.

Let's Make a Deal
On Valentine's Day, Ohio rockers the Breeders made the city of St. Louis its valentine: The band shot a video for its new song, "Fate to Fatal," with local roller derby team the Arch Rival Roller Girls at the Skatium. (View it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJAYQ2rrkdQ.) The song appears on the Breeders' new four-song EP of the same name, which was released a month before this weekend's band-curated All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in England. B-Sides caught up with Kelley Deal from her hometown of Dayton and talked about the shoot and new tunes.
B-Sides: We're all very excited that you filmed the video in St. Louis. What was the most fun about it?
Kelley Deal: Just seeing the league, how big it was, how many girls were involved, how cool the girls are. Each one of them I could go out and hang out with. For some reason, derby seems to draw exactly the people that I like. You know what I mean?
Yeah — it attracts a certain personality type.
Exactly! Whatever that personality type is, I'm right there. It's really great, too, the socialization that it provides for people. When you're in high school, you have all of these high school friends, and you go to college and you have your college friends. And then you kind of drift away, and you end up having work friends — which is really great, but they're work friends. But this derby thing, it exposes you to so many people of a like lifestyle, and it's a huge other group of friends that are not work friends.
Making a video, it's three minutes, but there's so much that goes into it.
[The roller girls] were there for eight hours, skating like dogs for eight hours! And they didn't complain, and skated with as much enthusiasm at the very beginning as they did at the end. I really don't understand how they did that. It was hard for me to walk around, I was tired just walking around that long. I was talking to Amy [Whited, who planned and coordinated the shoot with the band] about this...I drove from Dayton to St. Louis. Mando [Lopez, Breeders bassist/video director] and [James] Ford, the other camera guy, he was going to come out, they were going to fly.
I had never seen the Skatium, and I didn't know how many girls [were there], I didn't know exactly what was going on. When we got there — it was like magic. Amy is like magic. She had contacted all the girls, told them what to wear, told them what time to get there. And then poof! There was catering! It was left over from the opening-night party that they had had Friday. Thank God she brought some food! [Laughs]
Tell me about the EP, Fate to Fatal. What was your favorite place to work?
My favorite place would probably be, yet again, [Steve] Albini's. It's a really cool studio, everything you get sounds perfect there. That was for "Chances Are," which is that Bob Marley cover.
What's the genesis of deciding to cover that song?
Kim [Deal, Kelley's sister and Breeders co-vocalist/guitarist] had made herself a mixtape years ago, and it had that song. Doo-wop was really popular, this was back in the '60s. So [the song does have a] reggae feel, but you can also hear this doo-wop feel on it. She found that, put it on a mixtape and kept listening to it, and just loved the song and thought, "God, I'd really love to cover it, but no way could we cover it in reggae style." That would just be gross. We'd done it a couple different ways, with the whole band, making it a bar-band feel. [But] the best way to do it was just to really simplify the beauty of it, and get that across.
I like Mark Lanegan's voice, too...
[Gasps excitedly]
Which song did he do?
That's called "The Last Time." That's one we did in the [Dayton] basement. Kim was singing it and stuff and it had this really cool, very '80s, Joy Divison-y vibe to it. She thought to herself, "You know, somebody like Mark Lanegan would be really great on this." She actually thought about him. The guy who was here [in Dayton] helping us with this — he actually knows Mark Lanegan! We had him call. Kim and Mark started talking, and we sent him the song and he added a vocal.
He got it back, like, the next day, and it was just perfect. It's really haunting, he kind of sounds like a serial killer in a really great way. [Laughs] [It's like] you're weirdly attracted to what I think a serial killer must be like, [even though] there's something inside that's saying, "No, you probably shouldn't go near the trunk of that car."
That's the best description of his voice. He sound like he's on the brink of something.
Exactly! Of madness. Yeah. It sounds cool, it sounds really good.
— Annie Zaleski

"It was crazy," Scott said about Blackmon's performance. "He was knocking three balls back. It was fun to watch.
"It inspires me a little bit, and I want to do the same thing. But I am just trying to play with my team, and I would rather have 20 points in a win than 40 points in a loss."
Scott is a Purdue signee, while Blackmon Jr. is committed to rival Indiana.
The two will play against each other Jan. 11 at Northrop.

School Board
ConVal School Board:
A Shared Commitment to Educational Opportunity and Excellence
The ConVal School Board strives to support and continually advance the quality of education in our schools, while meeting the individual educational needs of all students in our district. We are dedicated advocates for the district's children, focused on the goal that each and every student leaves the ConVal system prepared for responsible citizenship, life-long learning, and productive employment. We believe it's a responsibility we share with the students, their parents, teachers, administrators, and the residents of our nine-town community.
Stay informed of upcoming School Board meetings. Sign up today to receive agendas via mail.
Role of the School Board:
The School Board's role is to see that our schools are well run by strong educational and fiscal leaders, and through the formulation of and adherence to effective policies and procedures competently administered by those leaders. Our role is not to run the schools through direct administration; that's the job of our district and school administrators.
The Board sets the guidelines, regulations and standards of instruction, partnering with the district's educational leaders through planning and assessment, with consulting professionals outside our district, and with others who may be affected by its actions. The Board oversees and approves the expenditure of all funds, which are appropriated in the school district's annual budget and provide for administrative and teaching staff, teaching materials, facilities, and resources for all district educational and athletic programs.
In addition to attending the regularly scheduled meetings each month, members serve on at least one of six standing sub-committees, Budget and Property, Education, Wellness, Policy, Selectmen's Advisory and Negotiations, plus ad hoc committees such as the District Study Committee.
Each year the Board and the administration meet to establish, review and then set yearly goals.
Serving on a local school board requires energy, commitment, patience, and a willingness to work as part of a team. Most of the board's work is made up of the little things that make ConVal's schools work so well: reviewing curriculum, providing up-to-date technology, crafting professional development programs to keep teachers learning. It's challenging, time-consuming work-but the rewards are real: students who set and achieve challenging personal goals; teachers who inspire as well as instruct; parents and residents who share a commitment to educational opportunity and excellence.
School Board 2013-2014 Goals:
a. To become a High Performing District as defined.
To provide students with the skills needed to succeed
beyond ConVal.
b. To value, promote, and model a unified K-12 district viewpoint.
c. To support and provide resources for the 2013-2014 district
goals as developed by the leadership team.
d. A commitment to transparency and open communication levels
between the district and the public, the SAU and the School
Board, and among the School Board.

TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers
As I looked through this season for the Bucs and Chargers, I discovered an interesting little fact:They have both played Oakland, New Orleans, and Kansas City (the Chargers played the Chiefs twice), and both won against the Raiders and Chiefs but lost to the Saints (the Bucs missed overtime by a penalty).San Diego and Tampa Bay also have combined for one win against an opponent with a winning record (Tampa Bay crushing Minnesota on the back of Doug Martin).However, San Diego hasn't been the offensive powerhouse of years past. Their offense is 26th in the league in yards per game, only averaging 323.1 total yards per game. They were embarrassed by the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago, scoring six points and gaining 265 yards against a defense that allows and average of 380.1 yards and 23.4 points per game. San Diego did bounce back nicely the next week, but it was against the Chiefs, who haven't been able to stop ANYONE.The Buccaneers allow similar stats because they are the...

So I've had my moms nose ever since my face began to really delevlop - so like the sixth grade or so. She got hers fixed before she got married at the age of 22. I am nineteen (as of yesterday!) and finally ready to get the little sucker fixed! :) I have always been worrisome about side-profile photos, and about my silhouette, and I am so ready to have all of those worries be gone!
The date is set! May 9th! One month to go!

I had my consultation yesterday! Dr. Maggi really knows what he's talking about and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. I felt so comfortable from the second I walked in. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. They also have their own surgery center, which we toured, and I really like that everything is done right there rather than a hospital. I have another appointment a week and a half before the surgery and that's where we will choose the shape I want and everything logistical. I'm so excited!

So surgery was yesterday! All was well as could be. I was in the operating room for several hours, but my surgeon said he thinks I will absolutely love it, so I'm super excited! I had some nausea and vomiting lastnight from the anesthesia, and could only keep crackers down. This morning I have a LOT less swelling, but am bruised under the eyes. Little to no pain- I've been okay with just tylenol. I have an appointment at 11:30 so he can clean me up, and I'll let y'all know how that goes!

Went to my one day follow-up! They cleaned the inside and got the blood off and such, and although it's extremely swollen, I got to see it! We had to put the cast back on, of course, but from what I saw, I love it already! :)
I found this center by searching online. I've read great reviews about Dr. Maggi, and from my person point of view, I know that all of the clinics in the area where his building is are very good, and he has an affiliation with St. David's North Austin Medical Center (my family works for St. David's!).

Yes deffinately take frontal into consideration I was also mainly concentrated on my side view and the front was not as in depth discussed on my side. I am however happy about my nose now! I'm 11 days pre op. I'm very excited for you!

Hey there! You came to a great place for advice and support. If I can suggest anything to you it would be to make sure that you understand your FRONTAL view will also change as your side profile changes. Many people, including myself, do not take this into consideration and are shocked when the cast is removed. Generally the nose looks thicker, and it causes a lot of worries. Understand that it will change/thin out some over time, but it can take a while. Good luck with everything. You will look great!

A Pointless Story of a Man Who Wants His Tea0 Reviews
George becomes enraged after finding out about the embargo on the ship carrying his favourite tea.
"This is outrageous!" he declared. "We all work hard and pay tariffs for this tea!"
George was mad.
REALLY mad.
He had no tea to drink with his beloved polygon-shaped sandwiches! "For Frankie's fine furniture! We need tea!"
"Stop your alliterations!" a sailor shouted at him. "You're at the wrong ship!"
"Oh," George replied. "So sorry, sir..." He then ran off to the correct ship to pick up his favourite tea so his delicious sandwiches could be eaten.

The purpose of this thread is to document the process of installing a 2012 Entune navigation unit into a pre-2012 Tacoma with or without the JBL system. Here is a link to the write-up. As of now it's just pinouts, part numbers, and notes but will be updated as I make progress on this project. Most of the information I looked up myself on the Toyota tech site, but I also referenced these posts/threads:
A lot of you would say "go aftermarket" and for the most part I would agree. Personally the JBL system is plenty loud and has all the functionality I want, plus it looks OEM. My Tacoma is a 2010 without the JBL system but I will describe the process for the JBL system as well (it's a lot easier than going from non-JBL to JBL).
This is for reference use only, if you mess up your vehicle it's not my fault. I am however willing to offer advice or help if you PM me. Ok so lets get started...
First things first: I purchased the Entune navigation unit, JBL subwoofer, and amp. Notice on the back of the headunit there are two boxes. The top box is "Display Audio". The bottom box is the navigation computer. I unplugged the navigation computer just out of curiosity and sure enough the interface changed to the basic display audio features.
Changing the backlighting color, this could be an entire write-up in itself so I won't go into too much detail. If there is enough interest in a write-up for that I'll do it. I like red because it doesn't ruin your night vision and it's better than the Tacoma amber/orange (or white in the 2012), the knobs might stay white. Still waiting on replacement tiny LEDs to ship but below you can see I already did the clock and hazard switch. The hazard switch was an incandescent bulb that I swapped out with a red LED I had lying around. The clock has three white PLCC2 LEDs that I replaced with red ones. The first two images below show the right and left switch/LED panels of the Entune unit. The third image shows how small the LEDs are compared to a PLCC2 LED.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, filmmaker Tyler Perry and Food Network personality and author Paula Deen are making sizable gifts to area hunger relief organizations.
Deen and representatives from Smithfield Foods will be here Monday to deliver more than 25,000 pounds of protein to Hosea Feed The Hungry and Homeless.
"We want to get as much food as possible to as many needy families as possible," Deen said.
Meanwhile, Perry is supplying the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless each with a $50,000 donation of food and a $25,000 contribution toward operating expenses.
"There are so many people who need so much more this year, and Tyler Perry's generous donation will make a big difference in so many lives," said executive director Elisabeth Omilami.
Taking a cue from the boss, the cast and crew of "Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns" and "Tyler Perry's House of Payne" are donating more than 2,250 pounds of edibles to area food banks.
"Tyler Perry's support could not come at a better time," said Atlanta Community Food Bank executive director Bill Bolling.

I went to see Tyler Perry's new stage play Laugh to Keep from Crying. I think I could have wrote that play in 20 minutes. Tyler Perry had to have written that play in one day. I just did not find in heart, meaning behind all the singing. I think most of Tyler Perry's movies are just words with zero meaning.
I think we just got pulled in – into having more black movies and overlooked the fact that most of Tyler Perry movies are not good -there just loud.
When I was watching the stage play I thought there is zero con. to the audiences.

sherry…, what's your point? this article was about his giving to charity, not his plays! have you reached out to the homeless this year? if u have, good for u. if u haven't, thanks for t. perry. if u don't like his plays, that's your perogative. but why are u trying to down a man for helping someone else? did u have anything to say about paula's shows??? thought not! this is all about t. perry for you, and your dislike for what he does, even though it shouldn't be affecting you. i bet you have this relationship with all men, u hate them like the plague!!!!

May God continually bless you Ms.Deen & Mr. Perry. Ms.Deen & Mr. Perry for your donations to the local organizations. And again Mr. Perry for your $MillionDollar donation to the NAACP. God blessed the both of you so that you might bless others. Keep up the good work.

I join others in thanking Tyler, Paula and the crew and staff of the House of Payne and Meet the Brown's for their generosity. Especially at this critical time with record levels of underemployment and unemployment the need for charitable giving is magnified. These gifts exemplfy the best of our community. Many thanks.

That's wonder you are giving back to the African-American community
Some people say I am crazy for e-mailing you because you are so busy. I am a dreamer and I try to make my dreams and others come true. I went to see all of your play when they came to Greenville, SC. I thought they were funny to told a special message about my
best friend Jesus. On Jan. 2, 2010 @ 6:00 Campfield Baptist Church will be putting on a play for the second time. I saw the first showing and it was funny and told a message about my best friend. Tyler please go see the play. I promise this want be a waste of your time. I am just a school teacher who loves Jesus and wants everyone to be blessed.

May the blessings of God be upon Paula Deen and Tyler Perry! There are so many wealthy people who are in a position to give, and help others BUT won't. God has been so good to them, and yet they close their eyes to the widows, fatherless, single mothers, and the homeless. (and so have some churches). God wants to know if in these troubled times if we can love each other the way He told us to. Are there ANY others that are willing to STAND IN THE GAP? Please continue to pray for the less fortunate. God Bless every saint!

The historic numbers speak volumes for Elliot Christian's softball program: Seven section championships, second most in the Sac-Joaquin Section for all divisions. Eight consecutive section title game appearances, currently the longest streak in section history.
The Eagles have won the past four section championships and only a 2-1 upset loss to Brookside Christian in the first Division VII final in 2007 spoiled a chance at eight straight section crowns between 2004 and 2011.

An Indoor Workout to Steer Clear of Irene This Weekend
Written on August 26, 2011 at 10:15 am , by Colleen Travers
If you haven't heard (which is nearly impossible), there's a storm a brewing! Hurricane Irene has hit the Bahamas and is making her way up the east coast, putting a damper not only on my weekend fun but my long training run as well.
If your exercising tendencies are similar to mine, you know that running more than three miles on a treadmill is the equivalent of watching paint dry. After all, one can only watch so many episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians before your gym partners take the remote from you, right?
To stick to my half-marathon schedule and fit in my six mile run this weekend, I'm going to mix it up with intervals and strength training in between miles. Take a look at my plan below:
- Warm up: walk briskly and then a slow jog, 5 minutes
- Run: 3 miles, adding hills every half mile for 3 minutes
- Hop off treadmill, do the Superset 3 move (from our September issue, on newsstands now!) to tone butt, hamstrings and quads
- Run: 1 mile, adding a hill at the half mile mark for 2 minutes
- Sprint: 1 mile, alternating between a sprint and recovery jog for every quarter mile (you'll sprint twice and recover twice)
- Run: 1 mile, followed by a cool down
Now tell us: How do you beat boredom when the weather takes your workout indoors?

FOX 29 News has learned that a young man who once took part in a program for aspiring police officers has been arrested in connection with a police impersonation case from earlier in the week.
The suspect has yet to be charged and is still being interviewed by detectives, FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser reports. He's a former member but not graduate of the "Philadelphia Police Explorer Cadet Program," which offers training to young adults ages 14 to 20 who are interested in a law enforcement career.
Schratwieser reports that the suspect was driving a 2002 Toyota Camry with strobe lights and had a gold badge. He allegedly had his hand on his right hip as he approached a 24-year-old male in a 7-Eleven parking lot on the 9000 block of Frankford Avenue.
Two members of the police department's bomb squad are being credited with the arrest.
Police say this arrest is not related to another police impersonation case reported early Thursday morning, when two men pretended to be police officers, pulled over a pickup truck at Cottman Avenue and Walker Street, handcuffed the three occupants and took off with the truck.

Britney Spears is going down the aisle one more time.
"OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo," she tweeted not long ago.
Jason Trawick, her current honey, confirmed the news to Access Hollywood, which noted that Jason was once Brit's manager, back when she was married to Kevin Federline.
In early 2004 Spears was married for a matter of hours to childhood friend Jason Alexander and tied the knot with K-Fed later that year.
This most recent engagement caps a days-long celebration for the happy couple. Just the other day Brit tweeted, (Happy birthday) Jason! He looked so cool in the video, that I had to get him a new motorcycle," followed by a link to J-Tra's new wheels. "Check out this new Confederate Bike I got him!"
Sounds like things are going to last this time.

AgustaWestland Delivers Milestone AW139, Logs New Orders
AgustaWestland delivered its 500th AW139 this summer to Weststar Aviation Services of Malaysia, a year after delivering its 400th AW139. Weststar is the largest operator of AW139s in Asia, with 13 already in service and three more on order. The company serves the offshore oil and gas industry.
In addition, the Italian manufacturer and Mitsui Bussan Aerospace, the official distributor for the AW139 medium twin in Japan, announced that All Nippon Helicopter (ANH) has ordered a third AW139 to perform electronic news gathering (ENG) missions. ANH is conducting ENG operations exclusively for Nippon Housou Kyoukai (NHK), the Japanese National Broadcasting corporation.
The additional AW139 will be delivered to Japan next year for mission customization before entering service in 2014.
Separately, AgustaWestland announced this summer that it will offer an SAR variant of its larger eight-ton AW189 twin and that the helicopter will compete for the UK's SAR-H requirement. The company says that if the AW189 were to be selected for the program, it will assemble all of the AW189s configured for SAR worldwide at AW Yeovil in the UK. That plant is currently slated to assemble the 4.5-ton AW169 twin now under development.
The AW189 first flew in December last year and is slated for certification next year.

Archbishop NIKON (Rklitsky)
"Our homeland represents the embodiment of the Gospel in the national character and national existence, as well as embodiment of the Heavenly Kingdom; our Russia is not only a legal entity or a state, no – it is a universal, all-encompassing idea." – so said the great hierarch of the Russian land, the most blessed Metropolitan Anthony on 5 October, 1904, on the day of the four saints of Moscow, warning Russia about the coming hardships.
These four saints – Peter, Alexei, Jonah and Phillip – were the spiritual creators of Russian history. And, if we carefully study the Russian historical processes we will be able to observe that at all stages in the life of Russia there were humble elders, bright geniuses of Russia, creators of Russian history.

For fans of the St. Olaf womens basketball team, however, January produced an unexpected surprise and a welcome one at that.
Paige Bromen 08, a native of Stillwater, Minn., became the most recent addition to the St. Olaf athletic program when she transferred from Furman University (located in Greenville, S.C.) in January. One of just nine new students admitted into St. Olaf before Interim, Bromen had an immediate impact on her new team. The Ole guard was a key catalyst in the teams strong 6-2 finish, averaging 8.8 points and 21.6 minutes per game during that span for a team that had lost seven of eight games during a stretch earlier this season.
The real surprise is that Bromen had not played basketball competitively since her high school days at Stillwater. Instead, the sophomore had been an NCAA Division I golfer for the past year and a half, sinking putts for the Paladins of Furman University as a walk-on athlete at one of the countrys premier womens golf programs.
Growing up, it had always been a dream of mine to play a Division I sport, Bromen said about her initial college choice. I wanted to find the best golf program combined with the best academics, and at the time, Furman was rated top-20 in the country [academically] and had an All-American golf program. My other possibility was Carleton, oddly enough, but I just decided that I would see how good I could get at golf.
After making the team as a freshman (she was the squads lone walk-on), Bromen practiced nearly year-round and participated in two tournaments in her two seasons, one in 2004 and another last fall. While her scores indicated significant improvement, the rigors of being a Division I athlete far from home finally got to Bromen.
I got a little burnt out, just by focusing so much on golf. Even though they kept saying that academics came first, in reality, golf came first you did your homework when you had the chance, Bromen said. I was also 1,200 miles away from home, which played a big role. We had to stay on campus during most breaks [for golf], so I wasnt able to see my family very much.
The time commitment was so great that you needed to have your whole heart into it.
An outstanding student who was also accepted by St. Olaf out of high school, Bromen was initially told that she would not be able to transfer until September because of space restrictions. However, Bromen was ecstatic to learn last Thanksgiving Break that she would be allowed to attend her new school nine months ahead of schedule.
So far, Bromen has thoroughly enjoyed her overall experience at St. Olaf.
It was a little weird coming in, since I was joining the [basketball] team in mid-season, she said. But everyone has been so nice. People took me to my first class, showed me around the campus everyone here was really friendly.
But even Bromen, a two-sport athlete who will anchor the womens golf team this spring, was surprised at how swiftly she was able to regain her old form.
I didnt know how quickly I would get my shot back and how quickly I would learn the plays, said the Ole guard. But things have definitely worked out better than expected.
Bromen is just one of many recent transfer students for whom athletics has played a key role. Of the 84 transfer students allowed into St. Olaf over the past two years, approximately 26 (nearly 32 percent) currently participate in a varsity sport, higher than the campus-wide average of about 20 percent.
Another high-profile Ole transfer athlete is womens soccer standout Kaia Knutson 06, who gave up a full scholarship at Division I Tulsa University to come to St. Olaf in the fall of 2003. Knutson, who also participates in track and field during the winter and spring, expressed sentiments similar to Bromens about the nature of Division I athletics.
Soccer was a lot more intense at Tulsa, Knutson said. You could never miss practice for any reason, it was always soccer first,
Despite earning a starting job as a freshman with the Golden Hurricanes, Knutson soon realized that big-time college athletics were not all they were cracked up to be.
I realized I would not be playing pro soccer, so I started to think about what I would do afterward, Knutson said. It was really tough to be pre-med at Tulsa, because it was always soccer first.
Steven Wood 07, a two-sport standout who transferred from Dakota-Wesleyan University last fall, said a higher power, along with an caring coaching staff, were the main reasons he decided he changed schools.
In the end, I felt like God wanted me to be here. [Wrestling] coach [Sean] Ahrar and [football] coach [Chris] Meidt are really good coaches, and good men, too. It's a lot of fun to be on those team, Wood said.
These transfer athletes may have a variety of different reasons for choosing St. Olaf, but one thing is certain their teammates, coaches and fans are all glad to have these players donning the black and gold.

Category: Metals
With the ever increasing price of precious metals, most notably gold and silver, many artisans are turning to other metals in order to keep their jewelry affordable for their customers.
One product that has been receiving a lot of attention is silver-filled wire and findings. Just exactly what is it, and how does it compare to sterling silver?
For comparison, think of the gold-filled jewelry that we have all been buying for years. When solid gold is out of our price range, gold-filled is a more than acceptable substitute.
You can think of silver-filled the same way. It is either a 5% or 10% layer of durable sterling silver bonded to (filled with) a copper-alloy or brass-alloy center. Depending on the manufacturer, they may mark it as 95/5, 90/10, .925/10, .925/5, 1/10th or 1/20th. It is definitely not the same thing as silver-plated, which is a very thin layer of silver laid on top of a copper-alloy core. To show you the difference, look at this picture from the Fire Mountain Gems website.
The wire on the left is silver-filled (much thicker layer of sterling) and the wire on the right is silver-plated. Because of it's thin coating, the silver on silver-plated metals can wear off over time, and is easy to nick while working with it or wearing it, causing the core metal to show.
This does not happen with silver-filled metals. The bonded layer is thick enough to withstand small nicks, and it will never wear off. If you are allergic to silver-plate but are able to wear sterling silver, you should also be able to wear silver-filled without causing an allergic reaction.
It does make silver jewelry much more affordable! Silver-filled is a great alternative to sterling silver for the budget-conscious buyer, and it is just as pretty and durable.
As of 1/8/2011, sterling silver is more than triple the price of silver-filled. That can make a big difference in the price of the finished jewelry that you buy. When I make a bracelet with sterling silver, it can sometimes cost me $25 or more just for the clasp! That same clasp would be less than $10 for silver-filled, and allows me to sell the bracelet at a much lower price.
For artisans working with silver-filled wire, it behaves much the same as sterling silver. It can be soldered, hammered, polished, tumbled, and oxidized with the same results as sterling. It is just a tad softer than sterling, however.
When buying silver-filled wire to work with as an artisan, one thing you may want to ask the seller, beside the percentage of the sterling silver bond, is the color of the core if you are making a design where the ends of the wire will show. If the core is copper-colored, that will show, for example, on the ends of your earwires. I know of one seller so far who sells silver-filled with a silver colored core, though I'm sure there are others. The name of the store is Royal Metals on Etsy. Their silver-filled has a 10% sterling silver layer bonded to a brass core (90/10), which shows as silver colored when cut.
I hope I've helped you to understand a little more about what silver-filled jewelry is. If you have any further questions about this or any other metal, please send me a message using any of the contact butons in my studio. I will get back to you within 24 hours.
By Guest on 08/03/2014 @ 11:01pmGreat information I was concerned about silver filled but very happy to know that it wears as well as solid silver.
By Guest on 03/23/2014 @ 08:52pmVery useful especially with the online shoppping options now available. Thank you
By Guest on 01/27/2014 @ 11:59pmVery useful information. I bought - what I thought - was a silver Celtic cross, years ago. I noticed wear on the back of it and the words "silver filled" and no numbers. Reading your article helped and - since I'm allergic to most base metals, the cross will now be packed away. Thanks for info - seems I may have been duped. Rob
By DCIDesigns on 12/20/2013 @ 11:53pmWell, the bangle is not solid gold if it is filled with silver, right? ;) It is, as I told the last poster, gold vermeil. It will not fade, however, over time it is possible that the gold plating can wear off, leaving the silver showing through. If it were gold-filled, the underlying metal could be any alloy (usually brass) but the gold covering would be thicker (1/20th by weight) and not as likely to wear off.
By Guest on 12/19/2013 @ 05:11amhello i just bought a solid gold bangle that is silver filled rather than gold filled as the lady said there is no real difference except the price ? i am worried though is it goin to fade or what is the actual difference??
By DCIDesigns on 12/14/2013 @ 12:47pmNo, you haven't been ripped off. What you have is called 'gold vermeil'. The .925 stamp refers to the silver fill, assuring you that the inside fill is sterling silver and the 37.5% stamp refers to the 9k gold plating over the silver fill (9k is 37.5% pure gold).
By Guest on 12/12/2013 @ 03:08amWhat does 37.5% 925, stamped together on 9ct gold curb necklace mean? I hope I haven't been ripped off. I paid 499, they told me it was silver filled. I didn't take much notice.
By Guest on 10/19/2013 @ 09:45pmThank you SO much for this! I have been struggling to find what I was looking for with metals and this is exactly what I needed. I really appreciate that merchant link too!
By Guest on 07/23/2013 @ 11:38amThis post helped me a really lot as I have only ever heard of silver or gold plated and silver filled was a new concept that I for 1 have never heard off,and now I understand that its better than plated but not as expensive as solid.So Thankyou
By DCIDesigns on 05/30/2013 @ 06:17pmI'll answer as best I can here in general, though I will be happy to discuss your questions in more detail through private message. Scroll all the way to the bottom right of this page, and use the button that says "click to contact this seller". Be sure to include your email address for me, because it doesn't come through automatically on the message. ....... As a general answer to your questions: Today, the spot price of raw silver is $22.94 per troy ounce (31.1 grams). There isn't a spot price for raw silver-filled to compare it with because "raw silver-filled" doesn't exist. What I can compare are the prices for a one troy-ounce coil of round wire: sterling silver, $27.93; silver-filled, $14.40. Your sterling silver charm should have a hallmark (a very small stamp that says .925), though not every handmade artisan stamps their work. It really comes down to knowing and trusting your seller. (All prices above are from Rio Grande)
By Guest on 05/29/2013 @ 03:07amSay the charm is 1.6g, how much would it be for sterling silver and silver-filled at the current market price respectively? How do I know the silver charm I bought is real 925 silver and not silver-filled or silver plated? Thanks very much.
By DCIDesigns on 05/27/2013 @ 06:32amThe price varies, depending on where you buy it and what the price of silver is at the moment. Here is a link to a page where you can get a good idea, as the prices at RioGrande tend to follow the silver spot price. http://www.riogrande.com/category/metals/104/Silver-Filled/5956
By Guest on 05/22/2013 @ 12:56pmThank you for the information. Do you know the price of filled silver?
By Guest on 05/11/2012 @ 05:31amThanks for the information on silver-filled. I kept avoiding it as I thought it meant silver plated. This was helpful.
