One of the greenest and least experienced Colville High football team in recent memory will get the 2011 high school football season underway Friday night against traditional opening foe Lakeland. Game time in Colville is 7 p.m.
Lakeland (0-1) is coming off a 46-21 loss last Friday night in Coeur dŌĆÖ Alene to Idaho power Lake City.
Of course, CHS head coach Randy Cornwell, heading into his 15th year at the helm of Colville football, wasnŌĆÖt sure what to expect last fall either when a group of over-achievers and some talented seniors ran the table during the regular season before losing in the first round of State 1A playoffs to Cashmere, 27-7.
Nobody is expecting the Indians, who have been accustomed to winning for well over a decade now, to replicate that 9-1 season.
There are just too many question marks and too much inexperience.
More than a few challenges and question marks
ŌĆ£We definitely have some challenges that weŌĆÖve never had before,ŌĆØ Cornwell conceded last week. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had to be as creative as weŌĆÖve ever been in asking kids to play different positions to try and build some depth.
ŌĆ£We are asking a lot of kids who are not physically mature enough to play. But we have no choice. ItŌĆÖs the way it is.ŌĆØ
The Indians have eight seniors and eight juniors out this season. Of those 16 upper-classmen, 15 will likely play significant roles.
If Colville was thin last season across the board, this group likely redefines that term.
ŌĆ£No, I donŌĆÖt ever remember as green a team as this one,ŌĆØ Cornwell said. ŌĆ£But that said, this group is working very hard. They are good kids and itŌĆÖs a pretty tight groupŌĆ"a solid bunch of kids who are all business and are trying very hard to please.ŌĆØ
There are some key players who, like any season, need to stay healthy for the Indians to experience success. One of those key components is 6-5, 220-pound middle linebacker and quarterback, Alex Pond.
The versatile and athletic Pond is a returning All-Northeast A performer (outside linebacker). HeŌĆÖll move to the middle this fall.
ŌĆ£Alex covers a lot of ground,ŌĆØ Cornwell says. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs fun to watchŌĆ"a real monster.ŌĆØ
Pond will be foundation of defensive coordinator Bill CarpenterŌĆÖs defensive unit. And Pond will also be moved to quarterback.
HeŌĆÖll share duties at quarterback with untested senior Scott Sheehan (6-2, 180).
This is the first time that Cornwell can remember not going into a season with an experienced quarterback.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs going to be interesting,ŌĆØ he said.
Sheehan is much improved and is considerably stronger this fall. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs a smart kid who knows our systemŌĆ"he has made a huge commitment to the program and will certainly play,ŌĆØ his coach says.
Crash course at QB
Pond is getting a crash course in quarterbacking. He may not remind anybody of graduated NEA Offensive Player of the Year Sawyer Bardwell, but then again, Pond probably wonŌĆÖt have to.
ŌĆ£We are going to have to be a little more creative back there in what we do,ŌĆØ Cornwell conceded. ŌĆ£Alex isnŌĆÖt a quarterback, but weŌĆÖll use him back there because of his athletic skills.ŌĆØ
Look for the Indians to certainly run out of their patented Wing-T sets and run the ball behind a veteran line. But Pond and quick-footed fullback Colton Davis (6-0, 205-pound senior) will likely see some direct snaps out of ColvilleŌĆÖs version of the Wildcat formation.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll put them both in shotgun there and let them run,ŌĆØ Cornwell said.
A strong suit this fall should be ColvilleŌĆÖs interior line on both sides of the ball. CHS has some girth and some skills there.
ŌĆ£The line should be a strength,ŌĆØ Cornwell said. ŌĆ£We have some size and some depth there.ŌĆØ
Up front, 6-4, 235-pound senior Eric Lee will be the likely starter at center. Another center candidate is 6-3, 180-pound junior Austin Hegney.
On the left side will be 5-9, 200-pound senior Doug Smith. Veteran 5-9, 200-pound senior Zac Thompson is another quick kid who can get out and pull in ColvilleŌĆÖs familiar and frequent sweeps.
Thompson was a first team All-NEA pick last season as a guard.
At tackle will be the teamŌĆÖs fastest lineman and strongest player, junior Cainan Holte (6-3, 230).
ŌĆ£Cainan has got some freakish athleticism,ŌĆØ concedes Cornwell, who would like to see HolteŌĆÖs internal ŌĆ£motorŌĆØ run a little more frequently.
Also on the line will be 5-9, 220-pound sophomore Jack Smith and fellow sophomore Colton Thompson, a 6-2, 190-pounder who Cornwell says ŌĆ£has a great motor and is an incredible worker.ŌĆØ
In the offensive backfield will be Davis at fullback and wingback. Davis, who runs a 4.8 40, rushed for 400 yards last season and proved to be tough to tackle. Davis can also catch the ball out of the backfield.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll bounce him around from spot to spot,ŌĆØ says Cornwell.
Carpenter moved
At wingback will be speedy Logan Carpenter. Carpenter, a 6-1, 185-pound senior, has been moved into the backfield from the receiver spot he played last season. HeŌĆÖs been nursing a pulled hamstring.
Also in the backfield will be 5-11, 175-pound senior Julio Valencia. Another wingback will be 5-5, 150-pound freshman Colton Vining.
Also at receiver and fullback will be sophomore 5-10, 180-pound Zach Shoemaker and 5-11, 165-pound junior Austin Maddox.
CarpenterŌĆÖs defense will be led by Pond. His backup in the middle will likely be Shoemaker.
At outside backer will be Valencia, Shoemaker, Maddox and the undersized Vining.
Jack Smith has also been moved in recent days to outside linebacker, a move that could definitely strengthen the position.
In the secondary will be Carpenter at safety. He intercepted four passes last season ŌĆ£and is a natural who covers a lot of ground back there,ŌĆØ Cornwell says.
At the other safety is 5-11, 140-pound junior Kris Griessmann.
The versatile Shoemaker will also play in the secondary.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs one of those kids thatŌĆÖs been asked to play three positions on offense and three on defense,ŌĆØ Cornwell said of Shoemaker.
At the corners will be 5-9, 150-pound sophomore returning starter Josh Hamilton.
Also figuring in the defensive backfield rotation are Seth Forsberg, a 5-8, 140-pound junior and 6-2, 160-pound sophomore Justin Wolfrum.
The punter will be Logan Carpenter. Place kicking duties is still unsettled, but Griessmann and Norwegian foreign exchange student Magnus Johansen have been getting reps there.
One of the obvious strengths of the CHS football program for many years has been the continuity of its coaching staff. Cornwell heads into his 15th season as head coach, along with assistant coaches Carpenter, Tom Bassett and Mike Jutila. Assistants Brad Maddox and John Foulkes have been on staff since 2003 and line coach Bob Gumm since 2005.
Mace joins staff
The Indians have also added former Kettle Falls High standout Greg Mace to the football staff. He most recently coached football (assistant to Curtis Corvino) and headed the BulldogsŌĆÖ basketball staff.
ŌĆ£Mace is a great addition,ŌĆØ Cornwell said of a good young coach who can work the football, basketball and baseball programs. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖll work with the freshmen and help with the kickers.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm really lucky to have such a great staff thatŌĆÖs been around this long. ItŌĆÖs pretty amazing and I think our staff gives us an advantage.
ŌĆ£The continuity with this group of coaches really makes it fun. The kids know what to expectŌĆ"everybody knows their rolesŌĆ"itŌĆÖs pretty cool.ŌĆØ
While there are more than a few concerns and a steep learning curve this fall, there are a handful of kids who can flat play.
Expect the Indians to be competitive in what figures to be a wide open NEA.
ŌĆ£I expect us to compete really well,ŌĆØ Cornwell said. ŌĆ£Although I think that everyone in the league has improved except for usŌĆ"weŌĆÖll be right in the middle of things.ŌĆØ
Unlike last season, when Colville usually found a way to lead early and stay in the lead, this group could be involved in more than its share of close games. Anybody remember the 2009 season?
ŌĆ£Our ability to manage games will be huge,ŌĆØ Cornwell figured. ŌĆ£Our ability to keep down and distance, field positionŌĆ"and play error free football are all very important. We need to control what we can control.
ŌĆ£I think we have five or six of the best kids in the league, we just have a lot of young inexperience to go with that.ŌĆØ
Lakeland played Lake City tough for the better part of the first half. The Hawks pulled to within 16-14 in the last 3:54 of the half before the Timberwolves took control and dominated the second half.
Lakeland managed only one yard rushing. Second-year quarterback Eric Cooper completed 14 of 21 for 154 yards and a touchdown. The senior had two passes picked off.

The feeling of experiencing death, without even dying.
Its not about how you live, its how you die. Life is not measured by how you lived.. but what you managed to accomplish before death. Failures must be seen as mere amusements. They are trials, which increase your skills. One day you will accomplish something so great, so all your failures are forgotten.
Even this quote has lost all meaning. Modern society has made us stop believing on the unheard. Constantly lieing. Showing us the abnormal.. only then to reveal its a joke. What we see is fake now.
Thats the scariest of all.. we cant even trust our own senses anymore.
When you are hurt you learn to hate, but if you hurt another you are resented. But you start to feel guilty as well. Understanding so much pain allows you to be kind to others. Its what makes us human.
i had my ipod headphones in yesterday, there was a pidgeon dancing in time to my music. It made me happy.

What a great week it's been! I hope you've joined us on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word about the importance of playground safety – and about making sure your community or school playground equipment and surfacing is IPEMA certified. One of the most important things about this week, however, is making sure that playground safety is a year long commitment.
The conditions of playground equipment and surfacing can change quickly. They can suffer from storm damage, vandalism, fire or other sudden natural or man-made events. Other less severe but problematic conditions can develop quickly as well – things like the overnight appearance of broken glass or nails; users kicking away loose-fill surfacing to below minimum protective depths; sand or pea stone tracked onto hard surfaces and creating a slip hazard.
It's a wise practice to have routine, early safety and maintenance inspections of playgrounds to ensure they are unbroken, functional, clean and hazard-free before children arrive. With proper maintenance procedures, you can help make sure your playground stays as safe as possible. Play on!

As the holiday spirit begins to take over and we begin to take some time off for the holidays, you might be frantically trying to find a Turboman like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film "Jingle All the Way." Or you could be finding great gifts as you shop around for your little ones.
The most important thing to remember this holiday season is that many children are fascinated with whatever you will get them—you don't always have to spoil a child with an iPad or the latest and greatest from FAO Schwartz.
Here are some great gifts and activities that will offer your child opportunities to play and learn this holiday season.
Some of our favorites:

I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and was lucky to have a large backyard, with lots of trees, greenery and a swing set. Naturally, this gave way to me spending an extensive amount of time outdoors, whether I was just lying in the grass, gardening or going to a playground at the park– which was always a monumental affair. Playgrounds seem to create a spark that brings out excitement in children. And wouldn't I love to be a kid today–with the amazing advancements in play equipment and technology.
I remember attending natural playground castles fully composed of wood; fun to explore, but nothing like the IPEMA-certified sets that are built today. I remember when the metal slides were sun-baked and stung your legs a little on the way down.
I recently came to learn that my childhood playground received a make-over. I was so excited to see what the designers and installers had made of my special childhood place.
The playground was designed and installed by Burke Premier Play Environments, an IPEMA-certified product line that has only the best for the children who now attend my old elementary school.
Vinyl slides, impact softening mulch, and gleaming blue, fresh painted monkey bars were put in place for children to enjoy. Compared to the old playground, the new playground is a much needed upgrade in terms of safety, but also for children's learning abilities.
The new textures and colors added to the structure alone will expand a child's experience while playing. I am super excited for the school year to start so these children will be able to learn and play in a new environment. Hopefully, it will become well-used, loved and a lasting part of their childhood memories!
What are some of your favorite childhood memories from the playground? Is there a playground in your area that has been recently updated?
Let your child explore a new play area this weekend! Tell us about it and have a wonderfully happy Labor Day!

Attention: Our children are becoming better connected to online websites and games than their neighborhood friends.
Could your child's technology obsession instead of playing at the playground outside with friends be hurting them? From the blog, "Reality Check- Blogging About Parenting Issues and the Solutions to Solve Them" Dr. Michele Borba identified how kids of this generation interact. Key findings reflect what many of us known for some time – that the amount of free time for play is decreasing at alarming rates. This study specifically cited that since the late 1970s there's been a 25% drop in our children's free play and a 50% drop in unstructured outdoor activities and since the late 1970s kids' time in organized, adult-supervised sports has doubled and the number of minutes devoted each week to passive leisure, not including watching television, has increased from 30 minutes to more than three hours. The doctor also found that the average U.S. child is now "plugged-in" to some kind of digital device–not including cell phone and text–7 1/2 hours a day. Take the quiz below to see if your kids (or you yourself!) could be 'play deprived':
• How much are you kids plugged into some kind of digital device?
• How often are your kids glued to that TV or clicking that keypad?
• How often do your kids go outdoors to just recompress?
• Do your kids know how to entertain themselves solo an adult, coach, teacher or you whether it be indoors or outdoors?
• Do your kids enjoy the great outdoors?
Play creates joyful memories for our children. Make sure their memories include laughter and fun not television screens, cords and buttons.

When I was growing up, I was one of those "army brats" who didn't care for cheerleading, softball or other organized sports and chose to either stay home or be in the "action" on the field with my parents. My parents were sergeants in the military and every year we moved to different places around the country – making it difficult for me to stick with a particular program and develop skills specific to those activities. Despite my begging to join the front lines like mom and dad, my parents refused to dress me in camouflage and send me off. Instead, every summer, my mom would invite the neighborhood children to our home, wherever in the country that may have been, and would transform our backyard into themed imagination stations in an attempt to break my shell.
I was a very shy person as a child and these events offered a fun chance to interact and socialize with my peers. Parents, I encourage you to take advantage of the resources around you to help build play opportunities for your kids. Your backyard can be transformed with just a little imagination. Enjoy these five backyard friendly tips and watch their creativity flow with these great backyard activities.
1. Play outside in the rain. Don't be afraid to get messy with the kids. Smell the rain on the pavement; splash in puddles and make mud pies.
2. Have a backyard campout or create a beach in your backyard with play sand and buckets. Build a farm with blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes and flowers from your local farmer's market. Arrange the produce in the backyard and let the kids pick the sweet treats themselves.
3. Climb trees together. Of course, only take on this challenge if the kids are old enough and you are brave enough!
4. Ay Ay Maytee! Host a treasure hunt. Invite the neighborhood kids to the backyard to find odd items from the house.
5. Play HORSE. Lace up and place a mini basketball net next to the real one with the little team.
Summer isn't over yet. Take the play pledge today!

This weekend, everyone from kids to adults will be celebrating Dad. And while many of you may be scrambling to the stores for that perfect last minute gift, it is important to remember that the best gift a father can receive on his big day is the time and company of those he loves most – his family.
We hope you'll celebrate Father's Day this year with an outdoor family activity – after all, it is Great Outdoors Month.
Here are five ideas for outdoor family fun this Father's Day:
1. Visit Your Local Playground – From a push on the swing to a friendly parents vs. kids game of basketball, the playground offers something for every family. It will also provide a day of exercise and probably lead to some memories that Dad won't soon forget.
2. Go On A Nature Hike – Wherever you live, the great outdoors probably aren't too far away. With a little bug spray, some sunscreen and plenty of bottled water, a nature hike can be a great way to take a break from a plugged-in life and see the many wonders the wild has to offer. While you're out there, take some time to look at the different types of trees, watch the birds and listen to the harmonious sounds of the wilderness.
3. Picnic in the Park – Your local parks and recreation centers probably offer plenty of pavilions and green space for a delicious, homemade meal outdoors. So, whether you grill up some steaks on the available fire pits or have a blanket picnic beneath a shady tree, an afternoon or evening in the park will provide Dad with a meal he will always remember.
4. Bust Out the Bicycles – Whether you live in a city or a small town, there are probably plenty of safe places for your family to enjoy an afternoon bike ride. Cycling can be a great way to experience nature and it also provides great exercise for the entire family!
5. Get On the Water – Maybe you have a boat or maybe there is a canoe livery or guided kayaking tour center near you, but any way you spin it – experiencing the outdoors on a lake, river or ocean near you can provide a thrilling experience for the whole family and great memories for Dad.

With Memorial Day behind us and students at schools across the United States either out for the summer or counting the days to go, the best time of year to experience the playground – the summer season – is upon us. While the weather is kind, daylight is abundant and the days seem to be a little more carefree, there are still a few measures that can improve playground safety and overall health for your children.
Here are some tips to keep the swings moving for your family this year:
1. Keep kids hydrated – Taking water with you to the playground is a great way to prevent dehydration and keep kids energized. If your kids don't like to drink plain water, you may try sweetening it with some lemon or lime. Experts recommend offering children water six times a day – even if they say they aren't thirsty – to ensure hydration. Children who are becoming dehydrated often suffer from fatigue and irritability. (Source: Kaboose)
2. Respect the sun – Like a trip to the beach, a trip to the playground should not be taken without sunscreen. The CDC recommends a minimum of SPF 15 with UVA and UVB protection for children, which should be applied to exposed skin 30 minutes before a venture outside. You should also take the bottle with you to the playground and apply it several times throughout the day. Other measures for preventing sunburns include playing in shady areas, covering up exposed skin and wearing a hat and sunglasses. (Source: Centers for Disease Control)
3. Check for hot equipment surfaces – It's no secret that – when exposed to the summer sun – playground equipment surfaces can become hot, causing a jolt of discomfort for children. By checking the heat of equipment surfaces with your hand and advising children what areas of the equipment are cool enough to play on, you can prevent any early exits from playtime. You may also want to dress younger children in long pants or bring an old pillow case or small blanket for them to sit on while going down slides. (Source: Landscape Online)
4. Play during the coolest hours – Early afternoon is typically the hottest segment of the day, so by using playgrounds in the morning and evening, you and your kids can experience play during the nicest hours summer has to offer, while also lowering other playground risks in the process.

With a little effort, there is no doubt that summer is the best season to go to the playground and experience outdoor play. We hope you'll get up, get out and enjoy everything the season has to offer, while also making some great memories with your children on the playground this year!
On Saturday, the National Park Trust, in conjunction with Let's Move!, will host the second annual National Kids to Parks Day, featuring unique events at parks across the country.
According to a news release from the National Park Trust, 61,000 individuals have pledged to play outdoors on this day and 228 mayors in 45 states have passed resolutions of support.
Grace Lee, the executive director of NPT, was quoted in the press release saying, "We want to encourage children across the country to explore their neighborhood parks and discover the history, nature and adventure right around the corner or just across town. The Summer season is the time to be outdoors and have fun."
This wonderful initiative, which began last year, is aimed at improving park attendance and decreasing national obesity rates by calling citizens to local parks.
With recent research suggesting that 42 percent of Americans could be obese by 2030, it is now more important than ever to promote the benefits of outdoor play in our parks and playgrounds.
This annual day of events is a great way to showcase all that local parks have to offer citizens – including amazing, inspiring playgrounds for kids to exercise their bodies, minds, emotions and spirits. Conveniently, outdoor free play is also a solution to help decrease obesity. We join NPT in celebrating national parks, state parks, and local parks and playgrounds and hope to encourage more free play at parks for households across the nation.
At Voice of Play, we hope this campaign helps inspire more frequent outdoor play for families all year long and that, eventually, this spark of interest will soon lead to each and every day becoming a "Kids to Parks" day.

Over the past few weeks, we discussed the physical and emotional benefits of play and the importance of a daily activity level in bringing out the best of each.. This week we shift our focus to the social benefits of play.
1. Group Interaction
When playing in groups, kids learn social roles and cultural rules, develop appropriate cooperation skills, and learn a shared system of symbols, including verbal and body language. When children develop and test relationships, they learn self-control, compromise and negotiation skills. Kids also learn survival skills, independence and acceptable group activities to build on as they grow up. Voice of Play
2. Connecting to Others
On the playground, children learn to interact and respond to other children, as well as strengthen and create friendships. "They will learn to be sensitive to other's needs and perspectives when engaging in play, and thus learn to negotiate and compromise when their perspectives or needs are in conflict with those of their friends. Play will often require individuals to work together, and through this cooperation children will learn to share with others." Indiana.edu Indiana University
3. Dealing With Conflicts in a Safe Place
"It is important to create an environment and social climate that protects children and allows them to play without fear. Because play is the way children learn about the world and how to deal with conflicts, they should feel secure and comfortable in their surroundings, and have opportunities to freely play in order to calm their fears and anxieties. Children develop best in the context of a caring community where they are safe and valued, their physical needs are met, and they feel psychologically secure."
Kathleen Alfano, Ph.D.

When Messi scores, he goes to the player who assisted him with the goal, hug him and hug the other players gathered. When Ronaldo assists Higuain a goal, Ronaldo asks Higuain and the players to come to his spot to hug & celebrate.
When Messi scores, he thanks god and prays. When Ronaldo scores, he pretends to squeeze tits and sucks his thumb. Messi does one move and gets past 10 players Ronaldo does 10 moves to get past one player. Without a question, Messi is better than Ronaldo.

Commissioners last week voted unanimously to seek an opinion from the Wyoming Attorney General on whether the commission can force districts to collect fewer taxes. Commissioners have not said which districts they are concerned about.
Commissioners' concerns are understandable, especially after hearing ongoing grumbling from taxpayers. Even so, they are overstepping their bounds. Special tax districts — such as fire, cemetery, conservation, hospital and college districts — are governed by boards, whose members are elected by the voting public. It is those boards' responsibility to set district budgets and determine, within state-allowed limits, how much tax revenue the districts need to successfully meet their obligations and perform their duties.
It is not — and should not be — up to county commissioners to make those decisions. They don't have the in-depth knowledge of planned projects or obligations that the district boards do. The commission's desire to control that process brings to mind complaints of state and federal governments overstepping their bounds in dealing with local governments.
Taxpayers should contact members of a district board if they feel the district is collecting too much tax money. Through that process, board members can be informed when there are concerns, and they in turn can provide information to concerned taxpayers about how tax money is spent, or why it is needed in reserves.
The flip side of that coin is that district boards must be responsible about the amount of tax they collect, and taxpayers need to make the effort to be informed about which districts collect their tax money and who is serving on the boards that govern them.
This is the time of year when special districts publish their budgets in local newspapers. Citizens can watch for those published budgets to learn more about the districts' revenues and expenses.
Commissioners also could help by providing annually an easily-accessible list of tax districts in the county, the mills each district collects and the total amount of tax dollars that represents, as well as a list of board members to contact in each district for more information.
That could have another benefit as well by making people more aware of district boards and budgets, and perhaps by encouraging some of them to run for seats on those boards.
Open seats on district boards will be up for election in November, and districts often struggle to find people willing to step forward to fill them.

Kaepernick will continue hot streak to lead 49ers to Super Bowl title
In one of my favorite movies, "Animal House," the Delta pledge class was being inducted, and John Belushi's character "Bluto" was tasked with giving each new member his "Delta name" or nickname. When he got to Larry Furst's character he hesitated, and then told him that his name was "Flounder." Furst's character replied back, "Flounder? Why Flounder?" Our man, "Bluto" immediately hit him with the answer we all like to use, "Why NOT?!"
So, why did I bore you with that scene (although, I hope that you at least got a chuckle out of recalling it)? Because based on my picks in this year's NFL Playoffs, many of you would correctly question my right and ability to pick the Super Bowl winner. My record speaks for itself: 1-3 in the Divisional round, 0-2 in the Championships. Yes, 1-5 would reasonably be grounds for disqualification and request to move on to next season. But I choose to invoke the "Bluto Rule" of "Why NOT?!" and forge ahead. Thank you in advance for your indulgence.
By now, there aren't many angles that haven't been explored in assessing the Baltimore vs. San Francisco match up: Harbaugh brothers (and family); Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis'' "Last Ride;" the teams' meeting during the 2011 season; Ravens OT Michael Oher's plea to not discuss the movie "The Blind Side" during Super Bowl week and beyond; 49ers DB Chris Culliver's homophobic comments and subsequent apologies; Ravens QB Joe Flacco's terrific performances in the playoffs and how they may affect what the Ravens organization does with his contract in upcoming negotiations; 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's bursting onto the scene as the "New Age" style QB, complete with his own signature celebration move, now known as "Kaepernicking (and you thought that "Tebowing" was here to stay, didn't you?).
So, with all of that said, here's how Mr. 1-5 sees this game:
49ers over the Ravens 24-21. Yes, the most inexperienced quarterback is "Optimus Prime" Colin Kaepernick. It's only his 10th career start, but I have yet to see the stage be too big for this young star.
Kaepernick's first college football start for Nevada was at Boise State and while his team lost, it took four overtimes before Boise State prevailed. In that game, Kaepernick amassed 243 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in addition to 177 rushing yards and two hustling TDs.
His first NFL start was on Monday Night Football vs. Chicago Bears and their top 5-ranked NFL defense. He shredded them. Kaepernick's first playoff game was against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, the latter which were picked by many to emerge from the NFC as a Super Bowl team. After an early pick-six thrown (with no hint of despair or fear), young "Optimus" proceeded to do things with speed and accuracy that no other QB had ever done in a playoff game. Finally, after being down big to the Falcons, on the road in the NFC Championship game, he coolly led his team back to victory (with a huge assist from the San Francisco defense which pitched a shutout in the second half).
The "Transformer," a mauling offensive line (for which the same five players started every game this season), a fresh legged RB in Frank Gore and a defense that attacks, swarms and specializes in stripping the ball (keep an eye on OLB Ahmad Brooks who gets overlooked due to the troika of Aldon Smith's sack mastery, and the best tandem of inside linebackers in the game in Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis) leads me to give the San Francisco 49ers the edge over a Baltimore Ravens team that has played some of the best playoff football I have ever seen. They beat Houston at home, and the Texans at one point in the season, were seen as perhaps the best in the league. They went to Denver (altitude and temperature in single digits) and beat a Broncos team that had won 11 straight games and QB Peyton Manning playing at a "Comeback Player of the Year AND MVP level. THEN they went to New England and beat Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the Patriots who had beaten them a year prior to go to the Super Bowl. An incredible gauntlet…one of the best playoff runs in NFL history…and my pick remains the same.
San Francisco 24 Baltimore 21
David Akers, the 49ers kicker, was voted "No Confidence" by the fans at the end of the season. I believe in the veteran, and see this game as his redemption.

Fantastic dressing. Unfortunately an unexpected storm came through and had to resort to the grill pan on stove; the charcoal grilled chicken would make this a grand slam! I used a mixed medley container of small tomatoes that my market had along with the grape tomatoes and I forgot the corn, but still a delicious meal.

Definition of Blue baby
Blue baby: A baby who is cyanotic (blue), due usually to a heart malformation that prevents the baby's blood from being fully oxygenated. The bluish color reflects the deoxygenated state of the blood. (Oxygenated blood is red.) Sometimes the term "blue baby" is also applied to a child who is cyanotic due to failure by the lungs to oxygenate the blood.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Frequently asked questions
1. Why do I have to submit original passport, and not only a copy?
Russian visa is a sticker on one of the pages in your original passport.
2. I cannot open and print out application form using my internet browser.
Please, check if you have program called Adobe® Acrobat Reader (version 4.0 or higher) installed in your computer. If not, download it for from Adobe web-site, install it and try to open the application form link again. That should solve the problem. If, having installed Adobe Acrobat Reader, you are still unable to open application link, please right-click it once, choose SAVE TARGET AS... option from drop-down menu, save it on your hard disk and open it from there with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
3. How much money in foreign currency can I bring to Russia? Are there currency exchange offices in Russia?
You can legally bring to Russia any amount of cash, however you are required to declare a sum that is more than $1500. You can legally bring out of Russia only $1500 in cash. If you have more, the rest of the sum must be accompanied by a special certificate from a Russian bank called "Raz-resh-enih-ye na vy-voz va-lyu-ty" (Permission to export currency). Yes, there are currency exchange offices in Russia - you can legally exchange foreign currency in Russian banks.
4. Are there any restrictions on travel checks (Thomas Cook, American Express,Visa, etc.) or credit cards in Russia?
No, there are no restrictions. Credit cards and travel checks are not to be declared and can be used freely. Russian banks can cash your travel checks. You can also buy travel checks in Russian banks.
5. I have radio or electronic equipment equipment (i.e. walkie-talkie, GPS, radio transmitter, etc.). Is it legal to bring it to Russia?
To avoid any inconveniences, you are strongly advised to declare that equipment at the Customs Control and consult a Customs officer. If it is forbidden in Russia, it will be put in Customs storage and returned to you when you leave Russia.
6. I want to bring my dog or cat (a pet) with me. What are the veterinary requirements?
Prior to arrival to Russia 14 days (but not earlier) before trip your pet must get vaccination (please, consult your veterinarian) and animal's transportation container must get special sanitary treatment. Upon completing these procedures, the veterinarian issues a certificate, which you have to authorize at your local Office of the Department of Agriculture (or similar local official authority) and, then translate into Russian by yourself or your authorized translation service (Sorry, Consulate doesn't have translation service at this moment). Please, note that in some cases Russian quarantine authorities may require the animal to be put in quarantine in Russia for additional 30 days.
7. I have an invitation to visit a city in Russia. Having received my visa, shall I be able to visit other cities in Russia?
8. We adopted a child in Russia and now we want to take a trip to Russia together. Do we have to get Russian visa for the child?
No, you do not. Children, adopted in Russia, remain Russian citizens till they are 18 years of age (when they can choose their citizenship themselves) and are issued a Russian passport upon adoption. Russian Law does not forbid them to be US citizens at the same time, however, requires them to travel to Russia on their Russian passports as Russia, as many countries, does not recognize dual citizenship.
9. I need a double-entry visa. What documents do I have to submit?
Same documents as for a single-entry one, however, your valid invitation must indicate a request for double-entry Visa.
10. How do I get a multiple-entry visa?
Your partners in Russia must apply on your behalf to the offices of Passport and Visa service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Then, this invitation can be either cabled to the Consulate by the Russian authorities or handed out to your inviting Russian partners who should send the original to you. Once we receive it, you can apply for a multiple-entry visa at the Consulate.
11. How do I invite my friends or relatives FROM RUSSIA to the United States?
We cannot help you with that. You have to contact your district Office of US Immigration and Naturalization Service, US Department of State or US Embassy and Consular Missions in Russia.
12. I came here from the former Soviet Union (USSR) or Russia and right now I am US citizen. Why do I have to confirm the absence of Russian citizenship in order to get Russian visa?
If you are a citizen of Russia and receive US citizenship, it does not mean that you automatically lose your Russian citizenship, because, according to the Russian Law, no person can be deprived of his/her citizenship, but on his/her stated (i.e. put officially in order) will. Russian Law does not forbid you to have several citizenships, however, considers you only a Russian citizen and does not recognize dual citizenship, and therefore, requires you to travel in and out of Russia on your Russian passport. The Consulate General as federal organization enforces the Law of the State, so, every person, whose foreign passports or travel documents indicate his/her place of birth as "Russia" or "USSR", or one of the states, which was a republic or a part of the former USSR, will be required to present a proof of absence of Russian citizenship.
13. Although my passport says that I was born in the Soviet Union (USSR) or Russia, I knowfor sure that I am not a Russian citizen, but all the documents which confirm this fact got lost long time ago. What do I do?
You can send a special request for confirmation of the absence of Russian citizenship to the Russian authorities through the Consulate. It takes time (approximately 1-6 month), so, please apply in advance. Upon receiving the answer, the Consulate will issue you official document confirming that you are no longer a Russian citizen. Look for instructions at Passport and Legal page of our site (www.consulrusia.org).
14. I want to obtain or restore or give up Russian citizenship. What do I do?
Please, apply with our Passport and Legal Department of the Consulate (see our Passport and Legal page).
15. What are the visa requirements for the citizens of the former republics of the Soviet Union (USSR)?
No visa required for: citizens of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Byelorussia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldavia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.
Visa required for: citizens of Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Turkmenistan.
16. When in Russia, can I change my visa status (i.e. from tourist to business or from business to educational and vice versa)?
No, you cannot change your visa status being in Russia. In order to do that, you have to leave the country and re-enter on different visa.
17. While in Russia what do I do in case of emergency?
In emergency, please, contact the nearest Consular Office or the Embassy of your country or Russian authorities. In fire, crime or health emergency you should contact the following emergency services: Fire Department - dial 01, Police Department - dial 02, Paramedics - dial 03.

Sure, we could discuss how this will help AOL turn AIM and ICQ into an uber-social network. We could also discuss how Yahoo and Google let this slip from their grasp. But, here's the question I'd like to ask…
Does this prove that social networks are approaching their own "bubble?"
For the past year, we've heard rumors that Bebo is up for sale. Valuations have typically placed the social network in the $1 billion to $1.5 billion price range. Now, after weeks of speculation that internet users are tiring of social networks, Bebo sells for just $850 million–almost half the top-end valuation thrown around last year.
Here's what I think. The rise (and demise) of social network valuations will be bookended by two deals. News Corp's bargain buy of MySpace for $580 million–which is now worth considerably more–and AOL's purchase of Bebo for $850 million–which appears to be considerably less than previous valuations.
Is this a bubble? Will the popularity of social networks burst? I guess, all eyes are now on Facebook to see if its next deal keeps its valuation close to the $15 billion from October 2007.

in your mind
anyone really think you can draw an X in space
or that there is any need to
nobodys going to meassure back to it anyway
no you just set the X Y & Z at zero and see how far away
the earth travels in a year
I really doNOT see whats so hard to grasp here
Ray, how do you ensure that your X is not moving? If we did this for real, we'd be in orbit (around the sun, if not around the Earth) and when we dropped the X it too would be in orbit. We would have to apply a counter-force to "bring it to rest". But we don't know what "rest" is. No matter what thought experiment you devise to drop the X and bring it to rest, there is no way
even in principle
of making it stop without us knowing what "stop" is, and then applying forces to bring it there.
Thus is the nature of
Newton's first law
. As we sail through space, we have no way of determining that we are moving except in relation to some chosen reference point.

I bet that title got your attention.
Perhaps you are quite shocked and wondering if I used to be a stripper in my early days. Sorry to disappoint you, but I am speaking in metaphors. By the way, if any of the guys out there were disappointed by that metaphor part – I'll send you a little wink for even thinking this 53-year old gal still has it going on.
One thing I know for sure is that it usually takes at least 24 hours from the point of provocation for the "ah-ha" moment to emerge with the lesson I need to know. That moment came during a late afternoon run today. God must be a runner too. What I realized is that I have been navigating new territory and taking risks in ways I never have before. It is as
though I am beginning as a speaker all over again. I'm now delivering unique new topics from my book Energy Makeover. Among them the subject of "Awakening Your Creativity" and how creativity requires the duality of holding both love and fear simultaneously as risks are taken.
My new content is more authentic and dear to me than anything I've spoken about in the past. Revealing this material to new audiences shakes my confidence to the core. Reaching the audience means so much, and potential failure is so deeply personal. Soon I find myself
realizing the lessons learned in such a short time from my nakedness in public:
• Holding notes in your hand is a bad idea, especially if you don't normally hold notes
• Make sure to pause and accept your applause at the end of a speech (I knew this – yet
ran off anyway).
• Expect your time to be cut from what you practiced and have a plan B.
• Let it go and move on rapidly when the microphone doesn't work.
• When choosing a demonstration volunteer – use intuition, not impulse!
• When condensing a 90 minute talk down to 20 minutes, it may take a few tries before the best version emerges.
• Remember it really is about serving and teaching from an authentic place.
As a perfectionist, it is very painful to admit I sucked. I am especially hard on myself and friends have already assured me that it wasn't that bad. The fact is I want it to be better and it will be better because I've already learned a few important lessons already. There will be gain from this pain.
God's Gift of Grace
As I came home from my disappointing presentation yesterday and stepped out on my back patio, my eye happened to catch something that I now see as a Divine gift. Under the maple
tree was a perfect white Anemone de Caen in full bloom – the same flower that adorns the cover of my book. These do not bloom in March! Curiously enough, the last time one of these bloomed was on July 18, the day I secured an agreement with Motivational Press, my publisher. I'll take it as a sign that all this embarrassment is part of a bigger plan that I am certainly part of.

PAWTUCKET — As Arnie Beyeler has learned this winter, coaching in the major leagues with a defined role is best not entered into lightly.
Roger P. Lamothe
NORTH SMITHFIELD- Roger P. Lamothe, 82, of Village Way, died January 22, 2013 in The Holiday in Lincoln. He was the husband of Lucille (Bacon) Lamothe, whom he married, January 27, 1951.
Born in St. Aime, Quebec, Canada, he was the son of the late Donat and Emma (Godin) Lamothe.
State and local officials urged residents to take precautions as dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills were forecast for the region through the weekend.
They also advised those at risk of exposure to take shelter at warming centers, including the Woonsocket Senior Center, 84 Social St. The site is open from 1-4 p.m. daily through Friday.
"Dress warmly, in layers, even if you are making a short trip to the mailbox," advised Woonsocket Emergency Management Director Gary Lataille.
Other tips for dealing with the cold include:
WOONSOCKET – Despite charges of creating a monopoly, the City Council Tuesday granted preliminary passage to an ordinance capping the number of pawn shop licenses in the city to two, both of which are already held by Daniel Baldelli, operator of the Gold Loan Company.
The panel voted 5-2 in favor of the measure, over the objections of City Council President John Ward and Vice President Daniel Gendron.
Jeannette M. Barry
LINCOLN- Jeannette M. Barry, 91, of Boulevard Avenue, Lincoln passed away on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at home. She was the wife of Henry Barry.
Mrs. Barry was born in Laconia, New Hampshire, the daughter of the late Joseph A. Baron and Rosa A (Derois) Baron. She was a loving homemaker for her children and husband for over 67 years.
Colleen M. Monteiro
WOONSOCKET- Colleen M. (Tempest) Monteiro, 55, of Providence St., died January 18, 2013.
Born in Woonsocket, she was the daughter of the late Raymond, Sr. and Marguerite (Lee) Tempest.
Ms. Montiero was a homemaker.
Bernice Edna
July 13th, 1929 -
January 12th 2013
WESTMINSTER, CO- Bernice Edna Bousquet Sarrasin died on January 12th with loved ones by her side.
Bernice was a generous, funny, and loving person who cared deeply for her family. Some of her happiest moments were spent watching her grandchildren play baseball, attending their concerts and teaching them to play card games. She loved to crochet, sew, swim, and travel with her husband.
WARWICK — Lincoln junior Casie Beauchemin must have ice water in her veins. With 2.3 seconds left on the clock, Beauchemin swished two free throws to give the Lions a remarkable 34-33 victory over Warwick Vets on Tuesday afternoon.
Down one point late, the Lions (4-2, Division II-North) were scrambling to make something happen when Beauchemin collided with the Hurricanes' Casey Bennett. Faced with a 1-and-1, the heroine took her time and found nothing but net on her first attempt to tie the score.
Woonsocket police officer Jesse Nunnemacher is bundled up against the cold as he works a detail at the corner of Clinton and Cumberland streets in the city Tuesday. The Arctic cold is expected to last throughout this week, with snow forecast for Friday.
WOONSOCKET – If you were thinking the much-anticipated five-year plan was going to help you figure out how much the city wants to raise your taxes or cut employee benefits to erase the gallons of red ink in its budget forecasts, think again.
A plan was one thing the five-page grid of numbers unveiled by the Budget Commission Tuesday was not. No roadmap to solvency, no prescriptive advice for how to erase a municipal deficit on track to nudge the $15 million mark by the end of the fiscal year, with little relief in sight through 2017.

We are currently using a council based email system but find it slow, unreliable and the 20gb limit for the whole school too small. I have been investigating moving our staff to office 365 the free education version as we already use edu.live for our students and have upgraded that to office 365.
Just a few questions have popped up.
Has anyone migrate to office 365 for all their staff email? If yes how have you found the migration and usage now?
Is there a way to keep the emails off the old system? A hosted desknow?
When upgraded edu.live for students there is an option at the top of the screen to make new documents, I can't see this on our demo of office 365 is there something you have to enable for it or is this jut available via Sharepoint?
And any other advice Or tips that you discovered along the way.

It happens every year. People looking to buy or sell real estate in Northern Michigan take one look at the snow cover and say, "I think this can wait a bit". Not a bad strategy really . . . if this were 2009, 10 or even 11. It's not. In the past year the number of homes available in most Northern Michigan counties has been diminishing; the average price of a home has been rising. Homes are selling. People are buying.

It's one of those annoyingly consistent and ignored pieces of financial advice universal among professional investment advisers -- "don't try to time the market."

Nevertheless, most of us hear that voice rattling in our heads when we look at our largest single financial commitment (outside of kids) -- buying and selling real estate.

After the sweltering heat of summer it is always nice when that first crisp breeze blows through the trees signaling the change of the seasons.

Margot Robbie's huge catch
Margot Robbie was thrilled when she landed a huge catch during a fishing trip in Nicaragua.
Margot Robbie was thrilled when she landed a huge catch during a fishing trip.
The 'Wolf Of Wall Street' star expressed her love of the outdoors during a recent holiday and shared a photograph of herself wearing a tiny bikini while holding a fish, a Giant Trevally, on Instagram, on Tuesday (22.04.14), which was Earth Day.
She accompanied the picture with the caption: ''Fish are friends not food! #HappyEarthDay.''
Her followers were quick to praise her big catch, posting ''well done'', with one adding: ''Catch and release'', urging her to drop the fish back into the sea.
Another saucy comment read: ''Knows how to handle a big one.''
The 23-year-old star was visiting Nicaragua and posted a number of other pictures to her social media account during her trip.
One includes her doing yoga with the message: ''Sunset pool yoga (yeah it's going to catch on) #nicaragua (sic)'', while another shows the brunette beauty enjoying some down time by the pool, along with the caption ''wish you were here.''
Meanwhile, the star will be back to work filming 'Tarzan' in coming weeks, in which she plays Jane alongside True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard as the lead role.
The new 3D production is set to be released in July 2016.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 03.04.2010
- Productivty and Costs
- Nonfarm business sector productivity was revised up from a strong 6.2 percent (annualized rate) gain to 6.9 percent in the fourth quarter, and is now up a whopping 5.8 percent on a year-over-year basis (its highest growth rate since 2002:Q1). The stronger fourth quarter reading was a result of an upward revision to output (revised up from 7.2 percent to 7.6 percent), while hours worked suffered a slight downward adjustment (from 1.0 percent to 0.6 percent). It is still the first increase in hours since 2007:Q2, though its four-quarter growth rate is still solidly negative (−5.7 percent). Compensation estimates were also shaded to the downside, resulting in a 5.9 percent drop in unit labor costs in the fourth quarter, compared to an initial reading of −4.4 percent. Unit labor costs have plummeted over the past year, down 4.7 percent—its sharpest decline on record (going back to 1947).
