Gitter, Groth Named to All-Horizon League Team
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay senior Abbey Gitter (Hortonville, Wis.) and junior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) have been named to the All-Horizon League Volleyball squad, the conference office announced on Monday afternoon. It is the first such honor for either player and marks the first time Green Bay has had two all-League players since 2005.
In the midst of one of the best defensive seasons in school history, Groth leads the Horizon League and is tied for 10th nationally in digs per set. The libero leads Valparaiso's Taylor Root, the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year, by.38 digs per set overall and is first in league play by a staggering 1.35 digs per set more than second place.
Groth broke Green Bay's single-season digs record on Friday at Youngstown State and has 632 digs on the season, the fourth-highest total in Horizon League history. She broke the program's record for digs in a four-set match with 35 against Loyola (Oct. 28) and broke her own record two matches later with a career-high 38 against Wright State. With five matches of 34 or more digs in 2011, Groth owns six of the nine best dig efforts in program history.
She tallied her 1,000th career dig against Loyola and now has 1,144 career digs, the seventh most in program history. Groth has 1,138 of her digs in the past two seasons after recording just six as a freshman.
"Brittany has been our most consistent player this season," said head coach Debbie Kirch. "Match in and match out, she's performed at the same high level, which is not only why she led our league in digs per set, but also has ranked high in the nation. It's tough for defensive players to get recognized because of the lack of statistics you can use to compare players. It shows what an impact Brittany had on this team that she was able to earn this award."
Gitter leads the Phoenix in kills (313) and kills per set (2.87) and is second in hitting percentage (.257). The senior southpaw has tallied double-digit kills in 17 matches, including eight of the past 10 contests.
In the team's first Horizon League match, Gitter posted 17 kills at Milwaukee. She also had 16 in a win over Loyola on Oct. 28 and was perfect with 13 kills and zero errors when the Phoenix defeated Wright State on Oct. 8. Strengthened by her 17-kill performance against Montana, Gitter was named to the all-tournament team at the Saluki Invitational.
Gitter has accumulated 934 kills in her standout career with the Phoenix, including 317 as a junior in 2010. Her 934 kills rank fifth all-time in Phoenix history. With a career-high 61 blocks this season, Gitter now has 148 in her career.
"Abbey has been a solid part of our lineup and an extremely reliable part of our offense for her entire career," said Kirch. "She has always had the respect and confidence of her teammates and coaching staff, not just as a right side hitter, but also as a leader. As I have said before, she's been our rock and I'm proud of her for getting recognized for her impact on this team."
With the regular season in the books, Gitter, Groth and Green Bay turn their attention to this weekend's Horizon League Championship in Milwaukee. The Phoenix enters the tourney as the sixth seed and will play third-seeded Butler at 7 p.m. on Friday night at the Klotsche Center.

I'm reserving final judgement until the money trail is fully investigated.
That said, the smoke surrounding Te'o is incredibly thick. Of course he could be a victim of a hoax, but it seems with each day there's a new question that needs to be answered.

Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
I'm merely pointing out the fact that if that's true--if YOUR position is correct--then he still had to tell a LOT of lies to a LOT of people. Actually, I'll let your post from earlier speak to this issue:
I can separate my private opinion regarding a matter from my professional ability to draw conclusions from evidence. At this point, we're all pretty much pissing into the wind as far as actual fact-finding, I can readily admit that. But I think your attempt to smear me personally for my opinion is beneath you and not deserving of inclusion in this discussion. Disagree with me as you please and we'll all grow and benefit from the discussion, but don't lower yourself to a personal attack.

Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
He may be the biggest fraud ever, but I think based of one article (slanted or not) is a bit premature to claim we know enough to say he is a "A practiced and skillful deceiver".We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
Jim Rome, not really a fan, was just saying on the radio basically what we are here. There isnt enough to say its 100% either way, but something is fishy, mostly that for somebody he called his "soul mate" to not show up when she was sick or the funeral yet still refer to her as his GF is just really odd. Doesnt mean its not true but the fact hes now turning down interviews and continuing to hide even though hes claiming to be a victim lets more people question his sincerity. He said about taking time to prepare his statements and that if he is a victim he should be yelling from the rooftop that he is. i dont know if i agree with the last part at all but it would put it to rest in public opinioin i believe.
If there is money involved than that would be more damning than any of this. Really this effects nobody and im just curious how it effects his draft stock. people getting swindled is another issue entirely.-JAB
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
I'm not sure how Bmorecareful's posts are being misread.
At the VERY LEAST, Te'o was deceiving his family and freinds. That much cannot be denied. His father at least pointed to the fact that Te'o mentioned she was in Hawaii and that Te'o had met in person.
So the best light you can paint Te'o in is that he had an online girlfriend whom he claimed to have met in person to avoid the shame his teammates and parents would place on him. That is the BEST possible light. IF you buy into the catfish angle of the story, then he simply deceived his circle of influence into believing their relationship was more then it was. Again, not the most horrible thing ever, but it still is a chain of lies and deception.
I can buy that as one of amny posibilities, but I certainly dn't think the preponderance of evidence points to that as basically the only scenario. I agree that it certainly smells more then a little fishy that he was in on the whole thing. Besides the publicity angle, I think there are several other reasons he could have been involved. I think the 8 hour phone calls are even explainable with other possible scenarios.
So at the very least, Te'o comes out of this smelling fishy.

Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
All I have said is that it seems likely to me that he had some degree of knowledge about what was going on, and I don't believe he's completely the victim that the official statements make him out to be. I have no idea what the extent of his knowledge or role in the hoax may have been. It's all a big mess that nobody knows for sure about.
You seem to be really hung up on the fact that I used those words earlier to describe Te'o, but I used them SPECIFICALLY in the context of the claim (that you're now denying that you made or agreed with) that Te'o lied to his family about having met her, lied about the circumstances surrounding her, etc. IF he did those things, then what else is he? I really find it hard to see how Manti couldn't have told a bunch of lies and deceived a lot of people over this.
In retrospect, my words were too strong even given that context and I apologize for them. I do NOT want to give the impression that I'm passing judgment on Manti's character as a whole, which is an unknown to all but those who know him well. I see indications of deception here, but that's not a value judgment. Everybody lies, everybody deceives somebody at one point or another in their lives, some of us just do it from a bigger stage.
I think what you're telling me is that you don't like the opinions I'm expressing and you don't believe I should be expressing them publicly. I don't want to be disagreeable so I'm going to oblige you and take a break from this thread for a while and maybe come back once more information is known. PM me if you're still unsatisfied.
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
I just didn't like that seemed there was no other option due to what you felt was more evidence pointing to him being behind the whole thing, without hearing his side of the story (other than a statement he released) or answers to the questions we all think need to be asked. And that may not been exactly what you were doing, it might be more of the larger problem I have with nowadays people being accused of something now means they did it.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
I'm finding this fascinating.
Bmorecareful has covered everything I would say, I think, except I differ with him (and HR) on this point:
I'm not really interested in a money trail. I don't know what urge might have led to the deception at work here, but (a) I think, as bmorecareful and others have said, currently the needle is pointing to "He Was In On It," and (b) it may not have been for money. It may have begun as a small story, like chef Robert Irvine's embellished resume, for some reason as simple as wanting to appear to have a girlfriend for some small reason (machismo, or whatever).
And then, in Chef Irvine's case, they started putting his bloated resume material on tv, or in Te'o's case Sports Illustrated started asking about the fake girlfriend, and soon the lies and shenanigans spun out of control.
Robert Irvine resurrected his career without ever really confronting the fact that he was a big fat liar. I imagine Te'o will, too.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
This story keeps getting stranger.. Not sure if it was noted in the thread but we have an NFL player stating he's met the supposed "girlfriend"
Reagan Mauia, who played in two games for the Arizona Cardinals last season, said he met Lennay Kekua in person during an outreach trip with Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers and others in June 2011.
And her Twitter account has come back to life claiming the truth will come out at noon PST today.
Then later Wednesday night came a tweet from @LennayKay -- a Twitter handle that once was associated with Kekua.
"It isn't fair to drag Reagan and Troy into this.. a lot of truths and myths need to be addressed here, and they will be at noon PST tomorrow," the tweet said.
The other two tweets on the page were retweets from the verified account of Te'o.
"@LennayKay I miss you!" said a November 6 tweet from Te'o's said.
On September 12, Te'o tweeted "@LennayKay you will always be with me wherever I go!"

I have installed several new (stock) master cylinders on my 1972 C-10 with 350. The top leaks and drips down on the steering column. any suggestions on how to get the top to stop leaking. (or suggest a differnt brand of master cylinder) As we know the master cylinder leans forward.thanks for the help
take the gasket out of the cap...set the cap back on the master and you fill find it rocks back and forth...with something square or with a flat end... you will want to gently flatten the flange against the top of the master.. so it does not rock and does not have any HIGH spots so it squeezes the seal evenly all the way around.... sorry... the manufacturers are using the thinnest covers available and they are NOT straight.. i usually spend 2 or 3 minutes with a TACK hammer and a scrap of steel to flatten them..a small peen hammer also works.. or a medium one with a tool like this...that reminds me to send out some emails to at least one supplier of those that i know about..
why does the master leak from the top..... when you depress the brake pedal.. the piston and seals move forward past the tiny fill ports drilled into the top of the bore.. this movement displaces some fluid.. that shoots straight up at the rubber seal.. this is why it drips if the cap does not hold the seal down tightly all the way around evenly..
thanks for the suggestion that does make sence!!!! I will try it this weekend!!

Todo perfecto y todo muy bien michelle is a grand person and very nice. The apartament is very good
Michelle is very kind and has hosted us with great hospitality. Our stay in New York was wonderful and we haven't had any significant problem with the house. She was avaiable at any time and she has done everything to make our stay as confortable as possible. We absolutely recommend it!
Wonderful place to stay, I'm not the best for reviews. But I'll definitely come back so I don't want to rate you too well, otherwise you'll be overbooking ;) lovely garden, and deco. Lovely neighbors and great locations. Thanks for everything.
Michelle the host was very attentive from the word go and sent lots of information regarding how to get into the appartment, how to get there, and other useful bits.
The appartment itself was great and well provisioned; towels, shampoo, wifi, tv (with Netflix and other streaming services), full kitchen, you name it! Michelle had even popped down before we arrived to turn the air-con on which was really appreciated!
Our only *slight* dissatisfaction was that the bed was a little uncomfortable and a bit squeaky; luckily we were so tired from our days out that we slept brilliantly anyway! A little gem of a place :)
The studio is very cozy and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Supermarkets and a subway station are only a few minutes away. Michelle is always available for questions and provides you with tips about the neighborhood and where to go out in the evening. I stayed there for three weeks and really enjoyed it. Many thanks!

HEY WOW everything was just great! Michelle was very kind, and very helpfull. Thank you for everything!
La camera è spaziosa, pulita e tranquilla. Michelle è molto gentile e disponibile. Vicino ci sono molti Deli e anche un supermercato. Siamo stati bene.
woaaaaw !! très satisfaite de ce logment ! Très propre et avec beaucoup de charme ! Michelle est très discrète et en même temps très attentionnée ! Elle est présente pour répondre à vos questions et vous donner de bon conseils ! Le logement est tout proche de la ligne A et C . Le logement est vraiment très chaleureux et on s'y sent extrêmement bien !
Das Zimmer bei Michelle war zweckmäßig,aber wegen eines fehlenden Schranks für einen längeren Aufenthalt nicht zu empfehlen.Aber alles ist sauber,das Bad mit allem bestückt,was man benötigt,umdMichelle ist äußerst kontaktfreudig und hilfsbereit bei allen Belangen.Zu berücksichtigen ist auch,dass die ruhige Unterkunft weitab von Manhatten liegt,wer also im wesentlichen an diesem Stadtteil interessiert ist,sollte besser eine nähere Unterkunft buchen.

My sister's very first quilt was for her baby to lay on. It wasn't really large, but she liked trying something new. It was like this quilt, stuffed with pantyhose. She zigzagged the pockets together on her machine.
"You could also, instead of hand overcasting each square, use a zigzag on top of butted edges when putting together the little pockets."

Pretty ornaments MCD -from one ornament lover to another!
Believe it or not I have been planning all my decorating ideas today - with a few twists! I am so excited. I think the Hallmark ornament celebration yesterday really got my spirit going!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
People from Sweden who are coming here in Croatia gave me yesterday some Christmas ornaments,I'm so happy
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.

Yesterday the mailman brought the large box of ornaments that I had ordered on ebay! I hate to have to pack them away till Christmas.

The Shape of Things to Come?
posted at 8:34 pm on October 1, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
In the absence of a discernable trajectory of purpose, a person's actions may seem random, unpredictable, and inexplicable. Why did he do that? Why not this? What's he going to do next? We haven't a clue.
But sometimes, in a great flash, you finally see the pattern; and all previous actions make sense. You can not only explain what he's done in the past, you can predict what he'll do in the future. This is, of course, why finding the appropriate pattern is so important: knowing what's to come.
Of course, more than one pattern can be constructed to "explain" a person's actions; it's tempting just to grab at the first pattern you invent… then start shoehorning every previous action into the pattern you've picked, willy nilly, no matter how badly it fits. After a while, the pattern begins to determine which facts you can see — and which become invisible to you. We see this pattern of "pattern-worship" among true believers in any ideology.
So to avoid that trap, it's best to make numerous specific predictions and use them to test, and when necessary, correct our pattern-hypothesis. The predictions must be:
- Specific: This rather than that.
- Testable: This and that lie within our power to check, both in theory and in practice.
- Dispositive: If that happens instead of this, then our pattern-hypothesis is wrong.
So let's test our newfound prediction regimen by observing our president, Barack H. Obama, at work — and trying to find a pattern-hypothesis that explains his actions to date and predicts what he'll do next. First, let's grab a set of facts that beg for an explanation:
- Obama is elected on a promise to fix the economy with a stimulus package, but then he backloads all the spending.
- He tries every possible way to raise taxes during a serious recession.
- He sells his bank take-over by saying they'll pay back all the bailout money with interest, then rejects their money when they try.
- He pushes a health-care "reform" plan that will add immeasurably to the deficit, will force millions out of private insurance and onto a public plan, and even after all that, will only insure a small fraction of those previous uninsured (the ostensible reason for ObamaCare in the first place).
- He insists that the plan must be bipartisan, then he leaves it up to the utterly partisan Congress to write it.
- He insists all through the campaign that we're "fighting the wrong war," so we should pull troops out of Iraq and send them to Afghanistan, "the war we should be fighting;" but once in power, he sabotages the Afghanistan war effort.
- He supports "balance of power" defense strategies such as Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), but he opposes purely defensive strategies for protecting us from ballistic missile attack.
- He announces he wants to be the president who finally resolves the Israeli-Palestinian "crisis," then turns America into a mindless advocate for the latter against the former.
- He criticizes President George W. Bush for not engaging in tough negotiations with Iran, then he cedes all negotiating points to the Iranians without asking anything in return.
- He accuses Bush of unilateralism; then Obama himself insults, belittles, ignores, betrays, and arrogantly commands our allies — while cajoling, jollying, bribing, and appeasing our enemies.
- He lectures us on energy conservation, implying we haven't enough to live the American lifestyle; but he also terminates any method of generating energy that actually works (nuclear, hydroelectric, or just drilling in ANWR, the Gulf of Mexico, and so forth), while promoting numerous goofy methods (solar, geothermal, biomass) that could not possibly generate enough energy to make a difference.
All right, we can probably think of more such weird, seemingly mad policies of the Obama administration; but I think this is enough of a fact base to study.
Taken independently, none of these policies seems to make any sense; taken together but without finding an overarching pattern, they seem inconsistent and contradictory: Why rush to pass a stimulus package but slow-walk the spending? Why raise taxes to lower the deficit but push health-care reform that will spend all the new taxes and more? Why push for negotiations with Iran and abandon Afghanistan, which borders Iran and can put pressure on them during the negotiations?
So let's take our first cut at pattern matching:
Hypothetical Pattern 1 — Obama is secretly a radical Moslem, and he wants to destroy America from within to pave the way for a sharia-state.
Now it's true that this pattern-hypothesis could explain some of the facts:
- His actions on the economy are designed to destroy it, so an Islamic revolution can arise from the ashes.
- He kow-tows to Iran because he's secretly working for them. Same with al-Qaeda and the other Sunni terrorist groups.
- He sabotages the Afghanistan war because he's on the Taliban's side.
- He hates Israel because Islam considers Jews the original heretics.
But for the other facts, we discover ourselves banging square pegs into round holes:
- He pushes ObamaCare because he wants lots of Christians to die, so that the 1% of the country that are Moslem will eventually outnumber them… in about three hundred years.
- He doesn't want to drill for oil in the United States because he wants to send more money to support Moslem countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran… all but the last of which oppose and fight against jihadism.
- He opposes missile defense against possible Russian missiles because if we have it, we might sell it to Israel, and then they can defend against a Iranian attack. Oh, please.
When we find ourselves tap dancing like this, it's a sure sign that we've picked the wrong pattern-hypothesis. So let's drop Pattern 1 and try a new one:
Hypothetical Pattern 2 — Obama has always hated individualism, believing in the greatest good for the greatest number; he has always hated federalism, because states used that to justify segregation; he wants all power vested in the highest level of national government and all governance from the top down (with him at the top).
Well, this pattern might explain the economic and health-care policies, but how does it explain diminishing American power vis-a-vis the international political and military environment?
Another failed hypothesis-pattern; so try this:
Hypothetical Pattern 2.5 — Obama has always hated individualism, believing in the greatest good for the greatest number; he has always hated federalism, because states used that to justify segregation; and he has always hated nationalism, because he believes that's what causes all the wars in the world. He wants all power vested in the highest level of international government and all governance from the top down (with him at the top).
This pattern-hypothesis seems to fit all the facts pretty well:
- Obama's stimulus backloads spending because he's using the money as both carrot and stick to control state and local governments and private companies and individuals.
- He's raising taxes because he wants to wrench the United States onto the EurAsian economic model, thus to diminish the control individuals and private corporations have over the fruits of their own labor (they might spend it selfishly, while the national government and international law will take from those who have too much and spread it around to those who need it.
- He wants banks and other corporations to remain in debt to the government because that gives him an additional lever of control over them.
- He's trying to bring American health care "up to" the standard of the rest of the world (centralization, nationalization, single-payer). And he's staying "hands off" at the moment not because he doesn't care what's in the bill, but because he expects to be the final arbiter of the final version of the bill, the last link in the great chain of power.
- He sabotages Afghanistan, kills missile defense, and favors diplomacy over defense at every turn because he wants to handcuff America's "unilateral" military power. That way, all use of force could instead be approved and directed by an international agency — either the United Nations or an actual world government that succeeds it.
- He appeases our enemies because that's how you bring them into the International Coalition of Everyone; he's dismissive of our allies because they have rejected Obamunism and won't support him as the natural leader of the entire Earth.
- And of course he opposes any policy leading to energy independence for the United States because his radical internationalism demands that we become even more energy dependent on foreign nations.
All right, Pattern 2.5 seems pretty close; so let's make a few predictions — specific, testable, dispositive — about what the Obamacle would do in the future, if Pattern 2.5 is the correct structure explaining his otherwise incomprehensible maze of policies:
He would show a curious insistance on socialist policies in, e.g., heath-care "reform" that he isn't even championing yet: Rather than accept anything so long as he "gets a bill," as most are predicting, he will push hard to reinsert the most important elements of extreme ObamaCare back into the bill using reconcilliation.
In particular, he would insist upon the mandate, coverage of illegals — either directly or via a general alien amnesty — and federal standards of what coverage "approved" insurance plans must include; for without those, reform doesn't serve his fundamental purpose of Europeanizing American health care.
- He would consolodate more power in the federal government at the expense of the state and local governments; he could do this by conditioning revenue sharing and stimulus spending to states and locals ceding traditional powers to the feds.
- He would certainly want to sign more treaties, and reinterpret existing treaties, to cede ever more sovereign American power to international bodies, particularly the United Nations.
- He would push for an international (non-state) currency to become the standard unit of international trade — something like the Euro, but with a less specifically European flavor — rather than the United States dollar. Call it the Espero, just for purposes of discussion.
- He would pressure the Democratic Congress to make the Espero legal tender throughout the United States; the idea would be to eventually phase out dollars entirely, just as the Euro was expected to push out local European currencies.
- He would press Congress to remove all restrictions on and exceptions to our participation in the International Court of Justice and other international courts; he would also reinterpret codicils of exemption out of existence, or just issue an Executive Order for all federal agencies to cooperate with international courts as if we had ratified those treaties unconditionally (even though we didn't).
- He would take steps to be seen more and more as the natural successor to United Nations Secretary General Nanki-Poo. In particular, Obama would pay all "back dues" (without demanding any structural or ethical changes at all from the U.N.); he would chair as many international conferences as possible; and he would butter-up and stroke all the different factions within that body — the geographical blocs and the U.N. agencies, such as UNESCO, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the World Bank, and so forth.
These are all specific enough to be tested; and if the opportunities arise, and Obama goes the opposite way from these predictions, then I think it's reasonable to reject Pattern 2.5 as a workable framework for the various policies we lump together as "Obamunism".
But as chances come along, every time Barack Obama does take the path of our pattern-hypothesis, the more confidence we should have that our theoretical pattern is a valid tool of prediction.

It seems to be a very popular trend lately for banner notifications to be shrunken down to only Status Bar-sized notifications rather than the full-sized iOS 5 notification banners, which are about as tall as two Status Bars. Recently we have seen DietBulletin by Ryan Petrich and today, another tweak called StatusBulletin by iOS development firm dba Technologies, LCC comes into the light.
StatusBulletin gives credit to DietBulletin as it was a derivative work and gave the developer the idea to make it. The tweak basically shows you your banners in a smaller amount of space to help keep them from being obtrusive; however, it does this differently than DietBulletin because DietBulletin is literally a miniature iOS 5 notification banner, while StatusBulletin gives you the illusion of a Status Bar-based notification. Shown above is an example.
Another useful feature of the tweak is that notifications, when they are too long to show on the screen, actually scroll right to left in the Status Bar so you can read all of it. For text messages, you will see the senders name and their message, while for other applications you will see the application name and the notification itself.
StatusBulletin also comes with color choices the two most easily distinguishable being silver or black. The silver color resembles an actual banner more so than the black color. In fact, the black color sort of reminds us of the unobtrusive Twitter notifications that lurk in the Status Bar while youre inside of the Twitter application.
All of these choices can be configured from the Settings application under the StatusBulletin preferences pane that appears when you install the free jailbreak tweak. The preferences pane, shown above, gives the user the ability to enable 'Smart Titles' for any applications of their choice. The tweak will take note of all the applications on your device automatically and allow you to turn a switch to the on or off position for each of them to enable and disable this feature for the applications you select. 'Smart Titles' will help you hide unnecessary title information from banners when it's obvious where the notification came from.
The preferences pane also comes with the ability to hide the biteSMS button when you get a notification from biteSMS and the ability to change the style of the banner notification. The banner styles you can choose from include:
- Matching (matches the color of your current Status Bar)
- Inverted (inverts the color of your current Status Bar)
- Black
- Silver
For a free banner tweak, it is pretty impressive in terms of both appearance and functionality. The extra customization options make it worthy of trying for anyone that doesnt like how large Apples stock notification banners are. From all of our testing, the tweak appears to work exactly as expected, so feel free to give it a test run!

If Ahmad Bradshaw doesn't return to the New York Giants, he'd still be open to staying in New York.
During an appearance on NFL Network Tuesday, the sixth-year tailback explored the idea of pairing with the Giants' cross-town rivals the New York Jets.
"Whoever I feel that I can get a better chance of playing and helping," Bradshaw said, via the Newark Star-Ledger. "… The New York Jets are a team that I'm excited to hear about, just to stay home, not make a big move from New York. It's just right across the street from where I am now."
Bradshaw was released by the Giants last week. Coming off a foot procedure -- his third in as many years -- he'll need to prove he can still trot like the 1,000-plus-yard rusher he was in 2010 and 2012.
The Jets shouldn't and likely won't bring back running back Shonn Greene, who is slated to hit free agency in March. Gang Green has a progressing tailback in Bilal Powell and a change-of-pace back in Joe McKnight, but the offensive backfield could use a shot in the arm.
If Bradshaw can come at a reasonable price, the Jets could make a move. While they're not in spending mode, they'll be in a much better situation when they drop linebackers Bart Scott and Calvin Pace and tackle Jason Smith, which will knock down their cap number by nearly $30 million.
Other free agent running backs about to hit the market are Rashard Mendenhall, Felix Jones and Cedric Benson. The Jets could also target a running back in the draft. We'll just have to wait and see.

AUSTIN, TX -- The Texas Senate has approved a bill that would prohibit the sale of sugary drinks from vending machines in public elementary and middle schools beginning in September.
Only sweetener-free water, lowfat milk and 100% vegetable and fruit juices would be allowed under the legislation. It would not apply to high schools.
State Sen. Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio), the Senate sponsor of House Bill 217, called the measure a "big step" forward to addressing childhood obesity and reducing the healthcare costs to treat diabetes and other diseases linked to it.
The proposed legislation covers only new vending contracts. It passed the Senate 24-6 and now goes to Gov. Rick Perry to be signed into law.


text: Slatted Rack see photo at: www.betterbee.com/products.asp?dept=308 I would suggest you do away with the wide entrance guard on one end and replace the slats with 1 inch doweling. It will function much better that way.>>>Brian:I have been thinking about building slatted racks. I can make the frame and remove the entrance guard. Now for the stingey part. Instead of 1" dowel can I use .707" boards turned 45 degrees? this would maintain spacing and look like a diamond. Each rack would take about 16' of dowell. Or would the square boards decrease the efficiency of the rack?

How might we inspire and engage young people to support older adults through mentorship? Good ideas can come from anywhere or anyone. That's why AARP Foundation is collaborating with OpenIDEO to launch a challenge specifically focused on engaging young people in supporting and mentoring older adults. The challenge will bring many new, unique and innovative ideas of how to connect with inter-generational audiences and engage young people in service and volunteerism through our Mentor Up initiative.
Get Involved: Participate in the Youth Mentor Challenge
The Youth Mentor Challenge has three phases: research, ideas and evaluation, which will help to gather innovative and new inter-generational concepts for AARP Foundation moving forward. During the research phase, people participating are invited to share stories and existing examples relevant to the challenge; the goal is to offer inspiration. Then, during the ideas phase (which begins June 17), participants submit their solutions to the problem, and everyone is encouraged to build on those ideas and refine them. OpenIDEO and AARP Foundation will then create a shortlist of the best ideas, and in the final evaluation phase, participants comment and vote on their favorites, with OpenIDEO and AARP Foundation making a final selection of "winners."
OpenIDEO community members contribute to the design concept in a variety of ways including helping to select the winning idea. OpenIDEO is the Social Mission arm of IDEO, the award-winning global design firm that takes a human-centered, design-based approach to helping organizations in the public and private sectors innovate and grow. IDEO is well known for creating the first mouse for Apple, and Harvard Business Review and Business Week have referred to the company as "The Power of Design Thinking Firm."
AARP Foundation is encouraging everyone to share their insights, thoughts and ideas about the challenge.
Kamili Wilson is the director of Strategic Positioning and External Relations at AARP Foundation.

We love a tipsy Gwyneth Paltrow!
In a hilarious audio-recorded interview over dinner with Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, the 40-year-old actress - who admitted she was "drunk already" thanks to a martini that went "straight to her head," followed by "wine with no food" -- candidly dished on why she despised this year's Costume Institute Gala at the Met.
"Do you want me to be honest? It sucked!" Gwyneth said, when asked why she told USA Today she would never attend the famed event again, during her meal with the radio personalities (who had won a contest to dine with Gwynnie). "It seems like it's the best thing in the world -- you always think, 'Oh my God, it's gonna be so glamorous and amazing and you're going to see all these people' and then you get there and it's so hot and it's so crowded and everyone's pushing you."
PHOTOS: Glamour & GOOP - It's Gwyneth Paltrow!
The "Iron Man 3" star also shared dirt from inside the Met Ball, saying Kanye West (who performed at the gala) was a bit grumpy, which made for an even more "intense" evening.
"Kanye West was playing and he was all furious and he threw his microphone down and it was all drama," she said. "I don't know why [he was mad]."
PHOTOS: Stars & Fashion At The Costume Institue Gala 2013
The GOOP goddess (who wore a hot pink Valentino Haute Couture Corolle gown to the gala, with her hair in a simple ponytail) also took issue with this year's punk theme.
"I think we're all a bit old to dress up punk," she said, explaining why she chose a more classic look for the themed event. "I just went as kind of normal."
The raucous conversation eventually turned to Gwyneth's recent wardrobe difficulty on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of "Iron Man 3," where her daring dress (which featured a sheer side panel) caused a razor emergency.
"Basically, because I wasn't wearing underwear with that dress, I had a situation where... because underwear keeps everything... I had no underwear so I wasn't tucked in properly," she explained, between bursts of laughter. "So they were like, 'You need to shave it'... so now I look like an 8-year-old girl."

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, Dec 5, 2012.
Thanks, great performance and really interesting video... they had to share the K&C, how awkward.
It is so classic for the level of HATE to come out between Canada and Russia. Hate hate hate. "Terrific"
Now, now .. no one beats the KWEEN at anything!!
Actually, not true.
Thanks for posting this youtube. I remember watching Plushenko grow up during his figure skating career. That boy put his heart and soul in his skating - abandoned, passionate, 200% committed and a superb athlete. Between him and Yagudin and Abt that was a golden era for Russian men's figureskating. One thing I always enjoyed about them was that they skated like guys too (I know, I know, probably I'll get trashed for saying this and I'm not implying anything about other male skaters).
Not to take away anything from what the present men do now - I love the artistry of Takahashi, abandon of Hanyu and the elegance of Chan but there was something unique about those Russian men.
I think that was tradition for a while, there's a video from the 2000-2001 GPF (I think) where Plushenko and Yagudin were sitting in the kiss and cry, either side of Mishin, waiting for Plushenko's marks...and when they put him in first the first thing Yagudin did was reach over and shake his hand, and they nodded cordially at each other.
So why mention it then? You are automatically implying something about other male skaters by saying that the Russian men "skated like guys".
The Russian men of that era were powerful, dramatic, and very strong. That doesn't make them automatically more masculine than skaters who prefer a softer, elegant style; who display their power and strength more subtly.
And her articles about that were only marginally better informed than her articles about skating.
Rosie's main area of expertise is in promoting herself, not in contributing anything useful or intelligent.
This is Canadian journalism. This is Canadian Champion. Oh Canada, poor country.
Yes, please pity us; that we are saddled with such a "writer".
This woman is not journalist? Hope so.
well, I was shocked when I googled about The Toronto Star. According to wikipedia, it is a "Canada's highest-circulation newspaper". I thought it's a small tabloid and kind of right-wing
Hey, you may know everything about Plushenko, but it doesn't look like you know that much about North America.
The article is just terrible whether it is written in Canada, Germany or Uzbekistan, and there is no justification for such terrible journalism.
hey, I've apologized! And I'm geography and physical education teacher so I know some information about North America..
I didn't read the article, I don't think DiManno deserves to waste one single minute of my life. Hope they enable the comments, Afganistan would look like a peaceful place to sweet Rosie.
PS. Ok, I've read it!
"Wow, hes doing a lot better than I had expected. He can still do all his jumps, which is pretty good for someone whos what? 36, 37 years old.
at least Patrick was funny!
A "36, 37 years old" that can still pull off all of the triples and a quad is more than "pretty good"; It's phenomenal! I'm surprised Chan wasn't more in awe of that
I am sure DiManno has tons of risk-taking and dare-devil DNA in her! To insult the revered Plushenko on her assignment to Sochi, she may not return home in one piece! Plushenko's troop will her!
You can criticise any skater for their weakness but the her style of writing here is mocking him. Iris very tabloid style writing, I would not call it risk taking, I call this kind of writing as idiotic. She is trying to create a controversy, at this rate she will get her wish some point.
This is really bad journalism. She didn't mention anything about the reasons why Plushenko can't skate. I guess there will be even more of these kind of nasty articles because the Worlds are in Canada and obviously the N-A press likes to create drama around the men's competition. I remember when the Worlds were in L.A and they wanted to make a huge drama about Joubert and Chan.
...Besides being a true intellectual.
I dare di Manno to tell us which of the characters invented by Leo Tolstoy is vain, disdainful and imperious
I agree that Chan did a pretty good job considering she was out to try and make him say something nasty. He was quite funny and if I could see his face when answering this, my best bet would be that he was doing the "awkward turtle".
Heck compared to the fun I had reading the British tabloids last week this is TAME LOL!
As for justification... this thread is all the author needs. If you really dislike an author don't provide publicity By continuing to read and post, even negative posts, you just "promote" and others go look which is the goal.... readers, not "agreement" LOL!
I'm sure Plushenko wishes he had the knees and back of an average 36-37-year old who was in decent shape. It's amazing what he can do considering how much surgery and therapy he's had.
Haters gonna hate
My pleasure..Plushy is an inspiring personality, his fans made a lots of video about him. These are also touching videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_STnOk9_EQ folle amore, solo amore, dolce amore.. "mad love, lonely love, sweet love .."
In Vancouver in 2010 Plushenko was asked a question about Chan and he said anyone without a quad should be competing with the ladies, lol.
Chan never mock Plushenko in front of Russian media.
I don't remember that. Plushenko told it toward Patrick?
Well, anyway even if Plushenko told to Chan, I don't think he intended to mock Chan himself. He just wanted to change the figure skating and the rule better. He never say anything bad about his rivals' private (...sorry, I don't know what I can say in English. I wanted to say, even when he becomes aggressive, he says only about figure skating. Jump, rule, etc. He never laugh at his rival's private, for example the age).
Plushenko didn't say anything until after the sp and then said generally quads is what make men's skating. And then after he lost he said men's skating without quads is like dancing. If he had said chan had been competing with ladies then it would have been in all the threads and it wasn't.
The 'ladies' comments came from Mishin in his rant right after Plushenko won the silver. Specifically, "Any judge who thinks this is the right champion is a Cyclops," Mishin said. "Without the quad, there is no difference between the men's competition and the women's. Why not let them skate together? Why not have it as a unisex competition in the Olympics?" http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/figure_skating/news?slug=ro-plushenko021810

So let's forget gas mileage, sale price, and resale price for the time being. Let's also talk about the automatic variations.
Let's talk about the true cost of ownership in terms of maintenance. Let's face it, VW's free maintenance is a gimmick, it's really just three oil changes. Also I haven't looked in the owner's manual of my wife's '12 Beetle so I may be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure VW decided all of a sudden that tires don't need rotations until every 10k miles, double what any/all tire manufacturers/dealers (even ones who do free lifetime rotations) recommend as far as I know, but that's an aside.
So far I can see two things going for the 2.5.
1) It has a timing chain to the TDI's belt, which I hear is like an expensive service along with a forced water pump replacement?
2) The DSG needs a spendy flush at or around every 40k miles or so, from what I've heard.
I get the feeling that the 2.5, while the boring volume seller that's down on power, is much the old faithful that Ford's boring SOHC 4.6 V8 that they used in millions of Crown Vics was--not exciting, but dead reliable and dirt cheap to maintain.
So let's talk maintenance, any advantages/disadvantages between the two models?

By Chris Harris
Five defeats in six games and just one side between them and the bottom of the Premiership - at first glance, things look bleak for Charlton Athletic. Apparently the league table does not lie but it's easy to make a case for an Addicks resurgence when you consider they have played four of the current top five.
Alan Curbishley stepped down last season after 16 years in charge, a period in which Charlton were transformed from homeless also-rans to Premiership regulars. We asked Tony Hudd of the Kent Messenger to assess new manager Iain Dowie and explain why results have not gone Charlton's way so far this term. Read on for the lowdown on Saturday's opponents.
"Charlton have had a far more difficult start than they did last season and when you have a new manager things don't happen overnight. They've been hit by injuries as well so maybe their league position doesn't tell the whole story. Iain Dowie has not been able to play his best side yet because of persistent injury problems. Souleymane Diawara is the most expensive defender in the club's history, he made his debut at Chelsea and got injured. Andy Reid signed from Spurs and he's been injured too. Djimi Traore has a stress fracture, Gonzalo Sorondo is out, so is Jerome Thomas and Omar Pouso, the Uruguayan, got injured on his debut against Portsmouth."
"It's very early days for Dowie. You don't get any time in the Premier League and he is trying to put his own stamp on the club. It's very difficult for the fans because Dowie is a former Crystal Palace manager and they are Charlton's closest rivals. He would have liked to hit the ground running but he's not had the best of luck so far. Dowie is desperate to keep a settled side but the transition period is taking longer because of injury problems."
"Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink was signed from Middlesbrough but, again, it's too early to judge him yet. He has scored one goal so far and says he's as fit as he's ever been. He can help Darren Bent develop as a striker but it's a question of getting players in midfield who can provide the service. That will be the key to Hasselbaink and Bent's partnership, as it is with any strike partnership. Charlton had Alexei Smertin and Danny Murphy in the team this time last year, they were excellent and created a lot of chances for Bent. Andy Reid - when he's fit - will operate more centrally in a playmaker role."
"They are not really missing Curbishley. It was a case of saying 'thank you Alan' and then moving on. He was there for 16 years and the legacy he left is one of a very stable, very secure club. Now Dowie wants to put his own stamp on Charlton and get them up the table."
"I think Dowie will play a 4-4-2 but Charlton have to find a way to deny Arsenal space. They can't let them settle, particularly in midfield. The Valley has not been an easy place for Arsenal to go but at the moment they are just beginning to click and I think it will be a hard game for Charlton. The more they lose the more confidence dwindles, but of course if they get something from the Arsenal game then everything changes."

Jack Wilshere believes the competition for places in Arsenal's midfield will bring out the best in him.
The 20-year-old is back in the first-team fold after missing last season with ankle and knee injuries, and has also returned to the England squad for next week's friendly with Sweden in Stockholm.
Wilshere was a regular during his breakthrough campaign of 2010/11 but he returns to an Arsenal engine room which now features Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Francis Coquelin, as well as Abou Diaby and Aaron Ramsey.
Arsène Wenger has plenty of options in that department and Wilshere is ready to fight for his place.
"I think you can see that there's great competition now throughout midfield," he said.
"That's what players need - if you're guaranteed a place every week maybe you can just go easy, but with the competition we have at Arsenal in midfield I think it's good for everybody.
"Looking at the partnerships we've got Abou Diaby and Mikel Arteta as well. I had never played with Mikel Arteta and he's been at Arsenal a year, and I'm excited about playing with all of them.
"I think you can see already that we're gelling. A couple of months ago none of the new boys even knew each other or the rest of the squad, but I think good players just fit in.
"For example with Santi Cazorla, you can tell he's just a natural footballer so he fits right in. The manager has proved in the past that he signs talented players and this is the case again."
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been earmarked for a future midfield role by Wenger and Wilshere can expect to line up alongside him for Arsenal and England.
"If we can get playing together for Arsenal then hopefully we can take it onto the international stage and it'll be great for both club and country," said Wilshere.
"I think that Alex is already mature enough to step in at any level. You could see that at the Euros - he was just 18 but it was like he was meant to be there. That confidence is one of his main attributes, and I think that the boss at Arsenal has been really good for him."
Oxlade-Chamberlain has netted five times for Arsenal but Wilshere has just three to his name so far. It's a figure he wants to improve on.
"Before I got injured, I wasn't getting forward enough and didn't score enough goals, so that'll be something I'm looking to do this year and I'll hopefully get a few more for the team," said Wilshere.
"There's maybe a bit more pressure to score more goals wearing the No 10 shirt as well! But that will all come as I continue to develop my game."

The following information is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
There are no specific treatments for autism. However, several kinds of medications may help to treat symptoms. For example, many individuals with autism have behaviors associated with anxiety, irritability, inattention, obsessive-compulsive habits, or aggression. Some of these medications are used as part of a more widespread treatment program to help with these types of behaviors.
Prescription Medications
- Fluoxetine
- Fluvoxamine
- Sertraline
- Clomipramine
Some drugs in this class appear to help people with autism by altering brain chemistry. These drugs increase the amount of brain chemicals like serotonin and noradrenaline. These chemicals are believed to have stimulant effects. They may help treat repetitive and other maladaptive behaviors, irritability, depressive symptoms, tantrums, anxiety, aggression, difficulty with transitions, and aspects of social interaction and language.
Clomipramine is a medication used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which shares features with autism. The specific chemical abnormalities related to autism have not been identified yet. The use of these drugs is guided by experience and trial and error.
Medications are given 1-2 times per day in doses similar to those used to treat depression . Side effects such as dry mouth, lightheadedness, and sedation are the most common. There are many other side effects. Some are serious, such as disturbances of heart rhythm. Talk to your child's doctor about the specific side effects of these drugs.
- Methylphenidate
This medication is most commonly used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It also may help certain forms of autism. Methylphenidate is not recommended for children under age six. It might help treat hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.
Possible side effects include:
- Addiction
- Seizures
- Worsening mental disturbances
- Chlorpromazine
- Thioridazine
- Haloperidol
- Risperidone
- Aripiprazole
These drugs are commonly used to treat schizophrenia, but they are also used for autism. These drugs occasionally have severe side effects. They should be used with great caution. Only risperidone and aripiprazole are FDA-approved to treat autism-related symptoms. Risperidone might help in the treatment of aggressive behavior, deliberate self-injury, and tantrums.
Possible side effects include:
- Uncontrolled movements
- High fever
- Drowsiness
- Lightheadedness
- Dry mouth
- Weight gain
- Liver toxicity
Other medications may be chosen based on other symptoms. Some people with autism may suffer from seizures. In this case, your doctor may prescribe anticonvulsant medications.
Clonidine may also help reduce hyperarousal symptoms including hyperactivity, irritability and outbursts, impulsivity, and repetitive behaviors.
In some cases, these medications may cause unexpected reactions in children with autism. If your child is taking any of these medications, pay close attention to changes in behavior. Stay in close contact with your child's doctor.
Special Considerations
If your child is taking medication, follow these general guidelines:
- Give your child the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or schedule.
- Use the measuring device that came with the medication. If you need to use a spoon, cup, or syringe, make sure it has the units that match your child's prescription. For example, if the medication is given in milliliters (mL), the device should have mL on it.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your child's doctor.
- Talk to your child's doctor before stopping any prescription medication.
- Plan ahead for refills if your child needs them.
- Do not share your child's prescription medication with anyone.

He took about 200 stings in the hands, almost went into anaphatic shock (sp?) and almost died.
I would assume that working the bees in shorts and tee-shirt is OK and perhaps even macho thing to do for some fellas, especially as an two-legged queen attractant... :lol: But on the serious side - I have been working with bees for 51 years and on few occasions "nearly bought the farm!"I knew personally a few fellas, which are no longer with us... One never knows when an anaphylactic shock can strike you??!!People in the know claim that although stings are good for you - but human body can only tolerate so many and than...???It is not a question of being afraid ! Taking unnecessary chances and stings boarders on stupid... Wear your suits! Wear the rest of the gear - that is why it was designed!Certainly not for bleep-boys or girls. Some day that gear just might save your bacon??? It did mine...By the way - medically speaking - 450 sting will do in an average healthy male ! ! ?
Good post Trot, all truth in those words, I wear a jacket with a zip on veil like this one below,,, doing removals I never know how the hives will react,, I like it and its not to hot, still wear blue jeans for pants.....
P.S.That also tels you how well they knew/know how far have come AHB ? !
yup wmarkjones, if I was in your area, I would dress Bullet Proof also...
Quote from: TrotP.S.That also tels you how well they knew/know how far have come AHB ? !I have also experienced similar degrees of attacks. I had one customer report back to me that when they were eliminating an africanized (AHB) colony, they came away with so many stingers on their full body suit it looked like velvet.AHB have so far progressed through Texas into Oklahoma, SW Arkansas, and all the southern states to the west, including California. For some reason, they don't yet seem to have gone East into Louisiana. Maybe it's the cajun spices. :lol:

Fox Hosts GOP Activist Toensing To Continue Pushing Benghazi "Cover-Up" Myth
Blog ››› ››› LAURA SANTHANAM
Fox gave conspiracy theorist and Republican attorney Victoria Toensing a platform to revive repeatedly debunked myths about what happened after the September 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
On the August 21 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Toensing's claims included questions about the legitimacy of the independent Accountability Review Board's (ARB) report on the attacks as a "corrupt cover-up to protect Hillary Clinton" and the myth of Benghazi "whistleblower" and diplomat Gregory Hicks' demotion.
Toensing has propped up claims that have been proven false or misleading, misinformation that Fox News continues to peddle.
Her efforts to question the legitimacy of the ARB report are neither new nor credible. Toensing argued in a May 12 Weekly Standard blog post that the "report was purposefully incomplete and willfully misleading," and she claimed that the investigation did not include interviews with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This claim has been debunked, notably by ARB chairman and career diplomat Thomas Pickering, who said he did speak with Clinton and that their conversation about the Benghazi investigation was "more than sufficient for the preponderance of evidence that we had collected to make our decisions."
During a May 10 interview with radio host Steve Malzberg, Toensing stated that Hicks, her client and Benghazi "whistleblower," was "effectively demoted" as a result of what happened during and after the attacks. This story conflicts with Hicks' own statement during congressional testimony that concerns for his family kept him from returning to Libya.

Beaver Fact Sheet
Beavers (Castor canadensis) were almost eliminated from Georgia because of unregulated trapping and habitat loss. Wildlife professionals of the 1940's conducted restoration efforts that were quickly successful. As the beaver population expanded, management regulations were adjusted to permit a legal harvest. Today, beavers are thriving statewide, harvest demands are low, and there is no closed season on taking beavers in Georgia.
Beavers are found throughout North America and statewide in Georgia wherever suitable habitat exists. Present in most areas with a year-round water flow, beavers are found in streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and low lying land or swamps along flood-prone creek and river bottoms. Beavers occasionally are found in roadside ditches, drainage ditches, and sewage ponds and are becoming more common in urban areas.
Members of the Order Rodentia (rodents) and Family Castoridae, beavers are North America's largest rodents. Considered semi-aquatic animals, beavers live on both land and in water. Their broad flat tails are used for stability while sitting, feeding or chewing trees. In water, the tail serves as a warning device when slapped on the water and as a rudder for swimming. Sexes appear indistinguishable from visual observation.
The herbivorous diet of beavers varies seasonally. During the winter months, preferred woody vegetation includes sweet gum, ash, willows, poplar, cottonwoods, pines and fruit trees; however beavers will chew most trees. During the spring and summer, beavers relish aquatic plants and lush tender green shoots or plants.
Beavers are social animals and usually live in family units called colonies. A single colony may contain a breeding adult pair and both yearling and juvenile offspring. Breeding in Georgia typically occurs in October through March. Offspring are born 105-107 days following breeding. Beavers become sexually mature at two years of age and will then produce one to four kits (young) annually.
Beavers create their own shelter in the form of either bank dens or lodges. Dens are created by digging a series of holes in the banks of lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks or streams. If banks are not suitable for digging, beavers will opt to pile up sticks and form a lodge. Entrances to the lodge or den are submerged while the denning area is 1-2 feet above the water level. The beaver's most famous signature is the dam. Beaver dams serve to stabilize water levels yielding protection to both beavers and their homes as well as facilitating access to food.
From an ecological standpoint, beavers are one of the most important animals in Georgia. Ponds or wetlands created by beavers provide excellent habitat for numerous plants and animals, as well as provide critical nesting or foraging areas for numerous species of waterfowl and other migratory birds. Beaver created wetlands also serve as a filtration system trapping sediments and improving water quality. Landowners may benefit from having beaver ponds on their property through improved hunting, fishing and bird watching opportunities.
Beavers sometimes create impressive wetlands that conflict with people's use of the land. Frequently beavers impound streams creating flooded bottomlands, pastures or crops. Numerous trees are chewed in areas of beaver activity resulting in damaged or dead trees. Beavers chew on almost any tree or plant, including desirable timber, planted crops, or valuable landscaping. The most effective way to control beaver damage is through shooting or trapping. However, other actions such as fencing and drainage devices can work in certain situations.
During the 1700's and 1800's beaver fur was one of the most widely and intensively sought natural resource in North America. Their fur was used for clothing, especially hats. The oil from beaver castor glands was an essential component of many high quality perfumes. Today, beavers are a valued fur resource worldwide. However, in comparison to northern furs the Georgia beaver is less desirable resulting in lower pelt prices.

Brian Helgeland's historical sports drama/biopic 42 relates the historic 1947 baseball season in which Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) decides to sign the first black Major League player, Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Although Robinson faces ugly, vicious racism from other clubs, fans, and on occasion his own teammates, Rickey encourages him to not fight back. By following that advice, Robinson allows his remarkable athletic talent to speak for itself, and soon the first-year player becomes one the most popular players on the team, eventually securing the Rookie of the Year award.

Hrncar and Michalkiewicz Receive All-League Honors
By Justin Grones (@Justin Grones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Senior Jessica Hrncar (Bristol, Wis.) and freshman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) have been named to the 2013 Softball All-Horizon League Teams, the league office announced on Tuesday. Hrncar was given Second Team All-Horizon League honors while Michalkiewicz was named to the All-Newcomer team.
Hrncar wrapped up the most successful season of her collegiate career in Green Bay's final series against Detroit last weekend, finishing 4-10 with two runs scored and a walk in the three-game series. She played the 2013 campaign in honor of her mother, Tami, who passed away following a courageous battle with breast cancer.
Hrncar finished the year batting .284 with three triples, 29 total hits and a 1.000 fielding percentage—all career highs. Her three triples were the second-most hit in the Horizon League this season and tied for the eighth most in a single season in program history.
The All-Newcomer nod is the second award this week for Michalkiewicz, who was named the Horizon League player of the week on Monday. Michalkiewicz led the Phoenix and finished second in the Horizon League with a program-best .398 batting average. She finished second in program history and third in the Horizon League with a .664 slugging percentage while setting Green Bay's single season on-base percentage record at .458. She led all Horizon League players with 14 doubles and hit six homers on the year—the third-most in a single season in program history.
Upon graduation later this month Hrncar plans to attend graduate school for physical therapy. As a sophomore next season Michalkiewicz will look to continue her record-breaking ways and lead a Green Bay roster that returns 17 players from the 2013 season.

The buoy had surfaced but there still was some current, and on Joe's first attempt he couldn't lift the anchor line an inch. But I had some experience with mooring balls and often the extra anchor line lies on the bottom and gets weeds growing around it that can be pulled free with some of the boat's power.
