The inaugural season for the Steamboat Springs softball team came to an end in the first round of the Western Slope District Tournament on Oct. 16.
Eagle Valley, the No. 2 seed for the tournament, eliminated Steamboat, 10-2, in Palisade.
The Devils went on to win the tournament before losing in the first round of regional play last weekend.
Steamboat wrapped up the season 10-1 overall, defeating Delta's varsity squad and a talented junior varsity squad from Rifle three times during the regular season. It was the softball program's first year as a high school sport.
Most of Steamboat's team is expected to return next season.
Steamboat jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead against Eagle Valley in the top of the first inning in the Oct. 16 game. Kathleen Lyon led off with a wale. Leigh Thielen moved Lyon over with a single, and Kirsten Ryan drove Lyon home with an RBI-single.
Eagle Valley slowly began to pull away, tying the score in the second and going ahead 3-1 after three innings. The Devils' biggest inning came in the fifth when the Sailors' made three errors, which attributed to Eagle Valley's four unearned runs.
The Devils went ahead 10-1 in the sixth, but the Sailors scored once more in the top of the seventh, as the game ended 10-2.
Steamboat's Stephanie Engle led off with a walk, and Anya Salzgeber moved Engle to second on a ground out. Engle advanced to third on Christy Fielding's single and scored off Rebecca Hilterbrand's RBI-ground out.
Ryan pitched six innings, striking out eight and walking three.
"We played well except for that (fifth inning)," assistant coach Gary Engle said. "Eagle Valley bunted a lot and took advantage of our lack of experience in being able to perform excellent bunt coverage."
Eagle Valley was the best team Steamboat had faced to date, and the Sailors came up against a team skilled in the most basic element of softball: manufacturing runs.
"We made plays," Engle said. "The real difference was their bunting and the aggressive base running. ... All in all, it was a great season."
The league coaches recognized three players for their play this season, despite that few league coaches actually saw Steamboat play.
Ryan was named to the Western Slope League's first team, and Lyon and Rachel Hilterbrand were honorable mention All-league selections.
Pueblo West won the Class 4A state title, Loveland was the 5A state champion, and Erie won its fifth-straight championship in 3A.

The Vancouver Police Department is reminding residents to lock their doors and windows after a bizarre break-in this week.
Here's what happened: At about 7 p.m. on Tuesday, an east Vancouver man walked into his kitchen to find a naked stranger in there, just cookin' up some eggs. When confronted, the naked intruder fled the house, probably still naked.
Apparently the man was in the home for 20 to 25 minutes, and likely even took a shower before being discovered in the kitchen.
Police later apprehended a 30-year-old Burnaby man "a short distance away," according to a police statement.
"Ensuring your doors and windows are locked is a simple deterrent," said Constable Brian Montague. "Don't make it easy for someone to break-in to your house."
Police are requesting charges of being unlawfully in a dwelling house, which is a real thing in the Criminal Code.
No word on how he prepared his eggs, although scrambled makes the most sense. I mean, you're not gonna be making eggs benedict at someone else's house without knowing where they keep all their ingredients and utensils.

1.7: Problem-Solving Plan
Learning Objectives
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Read and understand given problem situations.
- Make a plan to solve the problem.
- Solve the problem and check the results.
- Compare alternative approaches to solving the problem.
- Solve real-world problems using a plan.
Terms introduced in this lesson:
- "read and understand the problem"
- knowns
- unknowns
- "solve the problem"
- "check and interpret the answer"
Teaching Strategies and Tips
In this lesson, students are introduced to problem solving and a new plan that will be used throughout the book.
Some common strategies that students will learn are listed here for easy reference:
- draw a diagram
- make a table
- look for patterns
- guess and check
- work backward
- use a formula
- read and make graphs
- write equations
- use linear models
- use dimensional analysis
- use the right type of function for the situation
It is helpful to advise students that when translating sentences into expressions and equations, they should not attempt to solve the entire problem all at once. Instead, students should read the problem "phrase by phrase"; translate one phrase, then move on to the next.
Teachers can ask their students to reread the question, rephrase it, or even read it aloud.
Estimation is a good habit to develop as it helps confirm the answers students obtain after solving a problem.
Error Troubleshooting
The following list includes possible sources of mistakes for students while solving an applied problem:
- Not listing the given information
- Not restating the question being asked in your own words
- Not selecting a variable to represent the unknown quantity
- Not clearly stating what the variable represents
- Not looking for possible patterns
- Not looking up a definition or formula
A common mistake students make is checking their answers in the equations that they constructed instead of in the original wording of the problems.

A blend of a variety of crus, with some old reserve wines in the mix, Bollinger Special Cuvée was first launched in 1911. William Folks, a partner of the London House of Mentzendorff, who felt it was an insult to refer to a wine of this caliber as a "non vintage", suggest "Special Cuvée" to Bollinger as a far more suitable name. This is a crisp, fruity Brut Champagne with honey, pastry and wonderful balance.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) may not officially kick off until Tuesday (June 11), but Disney got a head start Sunday night when they showed off their next gaming innovation, "Infinity." It allows users to play within their favorite Disney or Pixar worlds and even combine them all into a whole new game.
"Disney Infinity" mixes toys with video games, creating what the company hopes will be a new way for younger gamers to play. Rather than just a game, "Infinity" is a platform that allows for multiple full games to be played within it.
When purchasing the game disc, you also buy a starter pack. It includes a base unit, as well as toy figurines of Captain Jack Sparrow, Sully from "Monsters University" and Mr. Incredible. The figurines have their individual games built into them. When placed on the base unit, the player can begin the game.
Additional characters will be sold in packs, as well as individually. That includes characters from "The Lone Ranger," "Cars" and more. There's also additional characters from the three movies contained in the starter pack.
Playing within the individual games is only part of the experience. There's also the "toy box" mode, which allows you to create your own world with any pieces of the games you've played. "Toy box" mode is where the game shines, giving players the possibility to do just about anything.
It's in that portion of "Infinity" that you can cross worlds, having characters from "The Lone Ranger" working with any number of Pixar creations. The player also builds the world themselves. Want a Disney castle with it's own pirate shift, next to a race track? Thanks to the creation suite in the game, it's fairly simple.
Disney will also be selling random two-packs of textures, weapons and vehicles which will enrich the created worlds. Consumers won't know what they get in their two-packs until they open them up. Disney hopes this will encourage trading with friends, like a modern day baseball card. The two-packs will retail for roughly five dollars.
The game supports up to four-person multiplayer and the ability to share your created content with friends. Additionally, Disney will allow content to be uploaded for others to find. That will be monitored and curated by Disney, to keep it safe for the family.
As "Disney Infinity" isn't a game, but a platform for games, the company can continue to expand it further and further through new figurines and power discs as long as they choose. While "Cars," "Monsters University," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Incredibles" and "The Lone Ranger" were shown off, designers say there is more in the works they just can't talk about yet. Furthermore, more content will be unlockable within the game from the start as the player progresses. "Disney Infinity" is currently scheduled to hit stores for Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PCs on August 18.
Take a look at the video below for a small taste of what you can do when creating your own world in the Disney universe and stay tuned to Zap2it all week as we are reporting from the convention floor at E3.

We regret that a pro-choice president of a pro-choice nation was forced to sign an Executive Order that further codifies the proposed anti-choice language in the health care reform bill, originally proposed by Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
"What the president's Executive Order did not do is include the complete and total ban on private health insurance coverage for abortion that Congressman Bart Stupak (D–MI) had insisted upon. So while we regret that this proposed Executive Order has given the imprimatur of the president to Senator Nelson's language, we are grateful that it does not include the Stupak abortion ban."

"Shaking of the earth" is not something that a Bible reader should be surprised with. The Bible recorded that it has already happened and predicts that it will happen again.
Heb 12:26 ~ When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: "Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also."
Heb 12:27 ~ This means that the things on earth will be shaken, so that only eternal things will be left.
Heb 12:28 ~ Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be destroyed, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe.
Heb 12:29 ~ For our God is a consuming fire.
Paul, the author of the book of Hebrews, summarized the above text from the book of Haggai, chapter 2:6-7.
That book adds the following prophecy in preparation for the glorious temple and heavenly kingdom:
"I will overthrow royal thrones, destroying the power of foreign kingdoms. I will overturn their chariots and charioteers. The horses will fall, and their riders will kill each other." Hag 2:22
Today, more turmoil is shaking Egypt, where the 30-year regime of Mubarak fell, and the new Egyptian ruler has all but declared himself a pharaoh, while his government is adopting a Sharia constitution. The heat of revolution has spread or is now spreading to other countries in the Middle East.
The world as it was has been shaken, which once again reminds us of three fundamental truths.
Heb 12:26 ~ When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: "Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also."
No government or person, no matter how powerful they are, has the power to remain. The world is changing as it revolves.
The shaking of world powers is not new to history. Daniel, chapter two, dramatically described it in prophetic way through the dream of the Babylonian king, and through it, the future transitions of the world powers were revealed.
You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue-- an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing-floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. Dan 2:31-35
Historians and Bible scholars generally agree that those symbols match these world powers:
1. The Babylonian Empire by Nebuchadnezzar - the head of gold
2. The Medo-Persian Empire: by Darius & Cyrus - the arm of silver
3. The Grecian Empire by Alexander the Great - the belly and thighs of bronze
4. The Roman Empire by Caesars -Legs of iron and clay
Dan 2:44 ~ In the time of those kings, the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure for ever.
Mat 21:42 ~ "Then Jesus asked them, "Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? 'The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous to see.' "
Mat 21:44 ~ "Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls."This present world and all its governments will someday pass away. We have to put our hope and trust to someone who will remain forever.
Our relationship with God is the only thing that we can keep forever.
Mat 16:26 ~ "And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?"
All things may pass away; the world as we know it may be uprooted; life as we experience it may come to an end; but one thing stands eternally sure--the relationship of the Christian to God.
If you want to have a closer relationship with Jesus, you can pray this prayer and make this your own:
Dear God,
I can't manage my own life without you. I invite Jesus to come into my heart today and be the King and Lord of my life from this time on. I surrender my life to you today and I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Let's be honest.
I could spend my words talking about how the Sounders dominated Dallas on Saturday night (August 3), 3-0, while running the home unbeaten streak to nine games. Or how the three points are desperately needed to keep Seattle in the playoff hunt. Seattle is still short of the playoff line but have two games in hand against the rest of the Western Conference.
I could talk about how the much hoped strike force up front of Eddie Johnson and Obafemi Martins both scored goals, the first time both have scored in a match all season, and how Mauro Rosales fed Martins from a set piece in the 9th minute for the first goal. Or how Brad Evans had his best match of the season, feeding Johnson for the second goal and showing why he has become a national team player.
I could talk about how Dallas had zero shots on target, not even forcing backup keeper Marcus Hahnemann to make a save. This was due in large part to Djimi Traore and the rest of the backline strangling every Dallas attempt at an attack.
All those things are worthy subjects but fuck that. All I and the rest of the Sounders fans want to talk about is Clint Dempsey.
As in, "Holy Shit, the Sounders signed Clint Freaking Dempsey! Are you freaking kidding me?"
When the rumors started, I and all Seattle sports fans held our breath but didn't get our hopes up.
After all, we're talking about the best American soccer player in the world. A man who captains the U.S. national team, and plays his soccer at the Premier League side Tottenham in London. As an Arsenal fan, I've loved and cursed Dempsey during his time at Tottenham.
Watching him harass and score against Arsenal, I entertained thoughts of him in Sounders green but never seriously thought it could be possible. And for him to be in his prime too? Impossible. This isn't like Beckham or Henry coming over to the MLS to play their last rounds of golf. Not to knock either player because half of Henry is still a top player in the MLS, but this is a bona fide international star coming to Seattle.
I've seen the big names come to Seattle. This isn't Franco Harris or Ken Griffey Jr. on a final tour, trying to get that brass ring. This isn't Patrick Ewing or Bill Cartwright on their last legs to get a last paycheck from the Sonics. By the way, fuck you David Stern and Clay Bennett.
This is the answer to the Sounders' problems. This is everything Seattle could have dreamed of, like finding the winning lottery ticket in your jacket pocket or a diamond ring in the Cracker Jack box.
The Sounders have had trouble in the central midfield all season. Granted, Evans played like a stud there against Dallas, but those performances by any of the center midfielders have been few and far between this season.
Seattle paid a reported $9 million to Tottenham in a transfer fee, a record for the MLS. This is a big roll of the dice by both sides. Dempsey was the face of American soccer in Europe, a gritty, tough, in your face American player who had to prove himself every year in England.
Dempsey's contract is reported to be $32 million over four seasons, another record for a MLS player. It's a huge investment for the Sounders who are looking to finally get their hands on the MLS Cup after making the playoffs every year.
Why Seattle? Maybe he wants to hook up with Macklemore and showcase his rapping skills. Maybe he was as impressed with the Seattle soccer scene as he claims when the national team played at CenturyLink Field against Panama.
Time will tell if it works out for both sides but holy shit, the Sounders have Clint Dempsey!

Wilson's Country Potatoes, are now a big seller in Ireland and the UK. They offer a range of conventional potatoes – in the usual plastic packaging. The range advertised as "chemical fertilizer free" are not to be confused with organic.They are grown using large amounts of slurry and FYM which replace chemical fertilizers. As far as I can ascertain, every other chemical used in conventional, intensive potato-growing is used in the growing of these, by implication, environmentally-friendly potatoes.
Wilsons, Portadown, Armagh, operation can be contacted at; email: email@example.com and www.wilsonscountry.com.
Despite the dubious nature of the above product, there is another Wilson's product and packaging which is admirable. Organic potatoes, presented in a 2.5 kilo, recycled paper bag, with a small net window – exactly the type of packaging I have been advocating for some time.
This should be the standard packaging used for all potatoes from a health point of view. Light, even fluorescent light, causes potatoes to go green. Greening indicates a build-up of solanin, a toxin that causes various unpleasant effects and in extreme cases, death. Solanin is not destroyed by cooking.
The above were available in SuperValu but now, 2007, the stores have their own organic offering – in 2.5 kg plastic packaging!

Tesco Ireland have introduced a new range of Irish organic yoghurts. It sells for the same price as Glenisk, IP 1.19 for a 500g. tub (450g. for Strawberry flavour) and in fact is produced by Glenisk. But they have an introductory offer of half-price on the second carton, which amounts to a 25% discount. Glenisk say this was Tesco's idea – Tesco say its Glenisk's idea. They are also selling, from this week, an Irish organic cheddar which, disturbingly, they sell for IP 4.79 per kilo.
I'm all for lower prices of course, but I would like to see a level playing field for the smaller outlets who often pioneered these products. Feature in Articles page soon on this subject.
www.tesco.ie. July '01. Tesco say; "The Commercial Buyer for Dairy Products … has informed me (the Customer Service Manager) that the offer on the Irish Organic Cheese is a Tesco Irish Mild Cheddar Cheese £4.79kilo" (sic). So now you know! 26th Sept. 2001. Tesco's own-label yogurt now selling at same price as Glenisk.
Golden Vale have a good strong-tasting, white cheddar on the market for the last six months, called Charleville Organic, IP 8.66 per kilo. It's interesting to hear that it is not produced in Ireland and to see that the organic certification is not an Irish one.

today's second biz ladies post comes from one of our biz ladies regulars, meg mateo ilasco. by 2010, meg will have authored six fantastic books, all without any formal training in writing. today she's here to talk about writing a book, and how anyone with passion, and the right amount of motivation and education can write a book, too. i'm a huge fan of meg's books (and her writing style) so it's a real treat to have her here today to share her expert tips for writing the book you've always wanted to write. meg's post today is part one of a two-part series so stay tuned next week for part two. and be sure to click here to check out all of the biz ladies archives on their new archive page.
CLICK HERE for meg's full post after the jump!
Since 2005, I've authored three books: You Can Wear It Again, Space Planner, and Craft Inc. (all published by Chronicle Books). By next year, that total will reach six with the addition of the Craft Inc. Business Planner, Creative Inc., co-written by Joy Deangdeelert Cho (Chronicle Books, Spring 2010), and a DIY interior book (STC Craft, Fall 2010). All this and I don't have any formal training in writing. So my point is: you can do this, too.
For many years, I wrote for leisure, mostly short stories and poems in my spare time when I was in college and actually had lots of time to spare. Likewise, if you have any interest in writing, you should practice a little bit everyday–blogging is a great way to get your feet wet. The more you practice writing and get feedback, the more comfortable you will be in this medium. And read books, too–which sounds obvious, but I often meet people who claim to want to write a book, but in the same conversation also admit they hardly read books. Yeah, that makes sense. So carve out some time to read and write. Trust me, I have two kids, you can find the time, too, even if it is in small chunks.
Of course, writing isn't for everyone. Even if you have new and wonderful information to share, you may not always be the best person to deliver it in writing. Strange, but true: you can be an author, without doing any writing yourself. You can hire a ghostwriter, a writer you pay to pen your book, which is how many celebrities have books. (Come on, you didn't really think that Tori Spelling wrote books herself, right?) And you don't have to be a celebrity either to hire one. Though it may take a bite out of your advance, plenty of regular authors hire them all the time.
So how did I start writing books? Well, it came to me in a vision–the television, really–watching that Martha Stewart made-for-TV biopic in 2003 (you know, the one with Cybill Shepherd). Aside from memorable lines like "Did I not ask for merlot?!," I also came away with the idea that writing a book would be a great way to raise my profile and establish myself as an expert in the wedding industry. (At the time, I owned a pretty successful wedding invitation business.) Indeed, writing a book can be a useful marketing tool for business owners. I quickly started brainstorming and researching book ideas.
(If you have ideas for a book, check out your local library, bookstore, or Amazon.com to see if there are any titles that might compete. If there are, you may want to rethink your idea or approach it from another angle. Remember, your book doesn't have to be completely different, just different enough.)
I shared my book-writing fantasy with my Post Street retail neighbor, the uber talented, Lotta Anderson (of Lotta Jansdotter). She suggested that I approach Chronicle Books since she had just inked a stationery deal with them. I found their range of titles and aesthetic to be a good match with my book ideas. (Funny, I also realized that many of the books in my personal library were from Chronicle, too.) With a little research on their website, I also learned that they took submissions.
(Look for publishers that would be a good fit for your idea and aesthetic–a place where you and your ideas would thrive. You can start by looking up published designers and crafters for the names of their publishers. Go to a library or bookstore and acquaint yourself with the names of various publishing houses. Visit their Web sites to see their recent titles and request a catalog if you can. Also, purchase a copy of the Writer's Market or subscribe to their Web site. The Writer's Market produces an annual that gives you submission guidelines for book publishers as well as the names of the editors and the areas they cover. That way, you can craft a proposal directly to a specific editor. You'll also find that not all publishers take unsolicited proposals or manuscripts.)
Within two months, I had finished the book proposal, following Chronicle's submission guidelines carefully. And just like it said on their Web site, they got back to me in three months with a written response which was (drumroll, please): "thanks, but no thanks." In hindsight, I took Chronicle's "we see things differently" motto a little too close to heart. I came up with a wedding book idea that was um…a little too unique. Think DIY themed weddings gone wild. I think even showed how to make a fake gold toof for a ghetto fab wedding. That's right, I said toof (a.k.a. tooth). So the idea was shot down–and rightly so. In the letter, the editor kindly explained why there isn't enough of a market for this book (read: no bride in their right mind would buy this)–but they also offered me an opportunity to come to the Chronicle Books office to meet with them in person! Apparently, this cloud had a very nice silver lining.
(You don't always have to turn in a full proposal to publishers. You could also submit a query letter instead that will gauge their interest in your idea. If they express interest, at that point, you can produce a full proposal. You can also purchase books on how to write query letters, if you need help. In my case, although the idea wasn't right for Chronicle, I think turning in a full proposal worked to my advantage. It allowed me to show them my writing capabilities…and probably my sense of humor.)
[To be continued. Part 2, right here!]
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing!!!
great topic. looking forward to part 2!
Fabulous indeed! Can't wait for part deux!!!!!
loving this! thanks so much!
Wow! A topic near and dear to my heart- have been contemplating writing a book for a while now! SOOO looking forward to part 2!
Nice to hear your story.
Perfect! I just started researching publishers this week! Great article – love the "toof." :)
Oh. My. Gosh. This has come at such a perfect time for me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am so excited for part two.
Thanks for this! It's nice to branch out a little from the major creative business ideas into some lesser talked about fields. Can't wait for part 2!
Thank you so much for this series..I have just begun to let my little thoughts wander towards this subject, and your insight is much appreciated. Can't wait for part two!
This is so great! Somehow the simplest stuff is impossible to find… as in, how to get started when you have an idea for a book! yay! I'm so excited about this… i think i might go brush my toofs to celebrate ;D
Thank you! Perfect timing for me, as I've been working on a book idea for the last year and a half. In the middle of my proposal and can use all the inspiration I can get! Anxiously awaiting Part 2…
This is fantastic. I'm a bibliophile who has recently started sticking my toe in the writing waters, so this post is perfect. Looking foward to #2!
I'm a bride with a love for DIY and I can tell you now that I would have totally bought your "toof" book…fo sho homie.
Thanks for sharing – look forward to part 2.
As a featured designer regularly published in the UK crafting magazines, I'd love to write a book one day. I really want to share my passion for crafting with others to help educate and inspire.
A lovely article. – Thanks. -
The amazingly valuable content on this feature blows me away each time. Thanks SO much!
Wonderful article! So informative – and it couldn't come at a better time for me…
Thank you D*S…Thank you Meg! -
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I am in the beginning stages of creating an educational book with another teacher and your information is very helpful. One question, though….How do you submit a book proposal or inquiry to a publisher and know that your idea won't be used by others? Would a signed waiver be appropriate?
Thanks again, Meg! -
I agree with Michelle, perhaps I'm flattering myself, but I do worry that my ideas will be taken by others. Perhaps someone more well known who can carry more clout, but with my ideas. Any suggestions on how to go about handling this? Thank you!
I've been writing a book with a dear friend of mine (for several years now, off and on) and this really helps put it all into perspective. Thanks Meg for the push! :)
Hey y'all.. where's part 2? Tried three links, all led here.
Great information, very helpful and just when I needed it.
Thank you

I've been researching this topic as I am writing a craft book as well. I found a lovely podcast with Christina Loff of Chronicle Books and literary agent Kate McKean talking about how to get a craft book published:
did a part two ever happen? i couldn't find it.
Howdy! This article couldn't be written much better!
Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept preaching about this. I'll send this post to him.
Fairly certain he will have a great read. Many thanks for sharing!

The stunning primary defeat Tuesday of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has left establishment Republicans scratching their heads and wondering what to do next.
Does a Tea Party victory bode well or ill for Republican prospects in November? Is Cantor's defeat significant beyond his own district? Could other Republican incumbents share Cantor's fate?
Democracy at work
It's always nice to see a well-ensconced incumbent receive a nice thrashing, even if that incumbent happens to share one's political outlook. Eric Cantor, it seems, got what he deserved. "Representative" Cantor forgot whom he was representing.
The second-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives is a bit like the well-traveled husband who took his wife for granted, then is stunned to arrive home one day to find that she's packed up and moved in with her boyfriend.
Cantor took his district for granted. He was, by all accounts, rarely if ever there. Virginia's Legislature drew a safe Republican district for Cantor after the last census, which he carried in the last election by a more than two-to-one margin. But his constituents — the people who actually cast the ballots, as opposed to the lobbyists who wrote his campaign checks — say they neither knew him nor trusted him.
So if you remember the old saw that "all politics is local," then it's really no wonder why Cantor lost.
Now, does Cantor's primary defeat necessarily mean a Tea Party pickup in November? David Brat, the surprise victor, is untested and (for the moment, anyway) underfunded. Political reporters and Democratic operatives — but I repeat myself — are poring over Brat's writings, looking for evidence beyond his Tea Party sympathies that he is a lunatic, an extremist.
Also, it's worth noting that Virginia has an open primary, which allows for Democrats to vote for Republicans, and vice versa. No doubt David Brat benefited greatly from Democratic voter mischief. He won't be able to count on those votes in the general election.
The truth is, Cantor was a creature of Washington, D.C., at a time when voters are losing patience with Beltway shenanigans. Cantor's support for some kind of compromise on comprehensive immigration reform didn't help him, but it wasn't what did him in, either. It was the casual contempt for his constituents — the ones that really matter — that brought him to ruin.
See? Sometimes democracy really does work.
— Ben Boychuk
Unhealthy for politics
Three quick lessons to take away from Eric Cantor's defeat:
• Our politics are screwed up. Maybe Eric Cantor deserved to be defeated — I'm a liberal, remember, so he was never my favorite member of Congress — but turnout for the primary election in Virginia last week was something like 12 percent of the electorate. Which means Cantor was turned out of office by roughly 6 percent of the electorate.
That's astonishing; more so when you realize Cantor might have won re-election easily had he simply survived the primary.
Primaries attract the most committed partisans. The choices they make often look little like the choices we'd otherwise make for ourselves; but we're stuck with their choices. It's not healthy for our politics, our governance, or our collective bile levels. And it can hardly be described as "democracy at work."
• There's some bit of disagreement whether immigration played a large role in Cantor's loss. But overall, enough people believe that Cantor's "softness" on the issue proved his undoing. That will terrify other Republicans, which means immigration reform will never come through legislative means, even though polls show that most Americans want that reform.
Again, 6 percent of a Virginia district's electorate has made this decision for the rest of us.
• That said: No tears are shed here for Cantor, who at the end of the day became a victim of the no-compromise-no-surrender attitude in Washington, D.C., that he did so much to foster.
Time and again in recent years, President Obama and Speaker John Boehner have come to agreements that would've pushed the nation in a rightward direction — entitlement reform, anyone? — only to be scuttled by Cantor and the Tea Party caucus as insufficiently conservative.
Those agreements never came to fruition. Republicans who wouldn't settle for half a loaf didn't end up with the whole thing. Nobody was happy with the budget deals that Obama and Congress did manage to put together. Cantor's gone? Good riddance. But good riddance, too, to the process that swept him out.

Does Your Company Really Need a Headhunter?
"Now what?"
Those are typically the first words uttered by a line manager, division executive, C-suite leader and/or human resources officer soon after an especially talented performer retires, goes elsewhere, or otherwise leaves a glaring hole in executive management.
At many organizations—far too many—the reflexive reaction is to retain a headhunter and wait for the recruiter to start introducing qualified candidates. But the question of who should be considered to fill the role demands far more consideration and due diligence than many corporations are prepared to invest, and that's a mistake.
When executive search began some 80 years ago at management-consulting firms, it was envisioned as a resource to be used sparingly by employers that, for some reason, couldn't fill a key role through the promotion of a current employee (BusinessWeek, 1/29/08). It was assumed that employers would be continually investing in workforce management and leadership development, growing their own executives and leveraging external search to augment that focus on talent and succession.
Yet too few companies make that talent investment, so they end up routinely paying a premium to lure exceptional managers from outside. And because of the prevalence with which companies look beyond their walls for talent, it has become almost institutionalized to overlook internal candidates. That, in turn, has contributed to a broader loss of employee loyalty and given rise to the notion that one has to move out to move up.
Step By Step
So, with this in mind, how should you, as a corporate recruiter or executive looking to replace a key team member, assess what your organization's next steps should be to fill a critical position?
First, take the time to evaluate the critical requirements of the role. If it's an existing position, consider the people who've held it in the past and been successful, as well as those who have filled it with disappointing results. Who were they reporting to? Who were they surrounded by? What was it about their management style that drove increased results or led to disappointing ones?
If you're looking to fill a newly created role, think about what leadership skills will be required to inspire, motivate, and set an example. The new executive will need the confidence and experience to muster support, perhaps among skeptical employees.
Remember that the requirements of the role extend far beyond the simple matching of candidate credentials with the job specifications. Cultural fit can't be underestimated as a determinant of future success, along with the personal judgment to know when to lead and when to follow.
It's also important to consider how and if this hire will affect the overall management-successionplan—and whether this executive is being brought on to extend a record of high performance or as a change agent to disrupt a sagging business unit, enter a new market, build a new culture, or boost a lackluster strategy.
When to Get a Headhunter
Once you've arrived at a consensus in terms of what's needed, it's wise to begin with a scan of internal talent and emerging or high-potential leaders. If your organization hasn't started to benchmark individual performance with an eye toward identifying future leaders and helping them develop, start now.
Ask your immediate colleagues for referrals to people they know within the organization, whether they're working on the same floor or halfway around the world. Employee referrals—even at the executive level—have always been a very effective way to find qualified business leaders. (They're also especially economical and usually lead to accelerated hiring.)
If you've exhausted all internal options, it may be time to consider engaging an executive recruiter (BusinessWeek, 9/13/08). One of the early decisions will be whether you put the management vacancy on spec to one or more contingency-fee headhunters, the kind who earn their cash only if they actually introduce your company to the manager you ultimately hire.
You might choose to retain an executive-search consultant for any of the following reasons:
• It's a search for a senior-management executive and/or it's expected to be a difficult search, perhaps because of a perceived small number of qualified candidates
• Recruiting the perfect candidate is more important than filling the role quickly
• The search requires the strictest discretion and confidentiality, perhaps because it will be conducted while someone (who will soon be let go) is still in the role
• The employment/career-opportunity message—and the credibility of its messenger in the external talent market—are critical success factors
• The position is new, and your organization might gain from the kind of external vision, specialization, and consulting that a retained recruiter can bring
If any of the above conditions apply, it might serve you to put the search in the hands of a qualified recruiter who can make your search an immediate priority. Otherwise, you and your organization are usually well advised to assess the variety of ways you might fill a crucial management role, since the quality of the homework you do before a search is initiated usually preordains its success—or failure.

The Iron Spine
The Union Pacific met the Central Pacific at Promontory—and the nation had truly been railroaded
April 1969 | Volume 20, Issue 3
Just as the Associates' manipulations had been the last straw for Ted Judah, so the Hoxie contract was the end for Dey. "I do not approve of the contract for building the first hundred miles from Omaha west," he noted in a terse resignation, "and I do not care to have my name so connected with the railroad that I shall appear to endorse the contract." Then to his friend Grenville Dodge he wrote, "I am giving up the best position this country has ever offered any man."
Durant now began to look for a chief engineer who could lay plenty of track in a hurry, handle huge gangs of hard-handed men in the field, figlit Indians if necessary—and not worry about company finances. Hc didn't have to look far. In return for a salary of $ 10,000 plus a packet of Crédit Mobilier stock (in his wife's name), Grenville Dodge had the job. He also had a few tough words for Durant. "I will become chief engineer only on condition that I be given absolute control in the field," he said. "You are about to build a railroad through a country that has neither law nor order, and whoever heads the work … must be backed up. There must be no divided interests."
Though mildly set back, Durant was certain Dodge was the right man. Hc had surveyed all through Iowa and Nebraska and knew the land to the west. In 1859 Lincoln himself, visiting Nebraska, had consulted Dodge about a possible route for the western road. "He shelled my woods completely," Dodge later wrote, "and got all the information I'd collected."
When the Civil War broke out, Dodge entered the Union army as a colonel, and eventually was promoted to major general on the basis of his fighting abilities and his work in rebuilding war-torn railroads. In Washington in the spring of 1863 he had another talk with Lincoln about western railroading, in particular about the slow sales of Union Pacific stock. Dodge hinted that more government aid was indicated; this, along with some quick-footed lobbying by Durant and Huntington in 1864, produced an amended Pacific Railroad Act. The land grants were doubled, and the government loans were switched from a first-mortgage to a second-mortgage basis. The railroads now could issue their own first-mortgage bonds. Tlie gates were open for private investors. The government assumed all risks. It was the gravy train par excellence.
The stage was set for the actual driving of rails across the western half of the continent. For Dodge and the Union Pacific there were few critical engineering problems between the one-hundredth meridian and the Great Salt Lake. "There was never any very great question, from an engineering point of view," Dodge wrote, "where the line … going west from the Missouri River should be placed. The Lord had so constructed the country that any engineer who failed to take advantage of that great open road out of the Platte Valley, and then on to Salt Lake, would not have been fit to belong to the profession." There were, however, two major hazards: distance and Indians.
Dodge conquered distance by hiring a tough construction l)oss named Jack Casement and his brother Dan. The Casements put together an ingenious train that functioned as an assembly line on wheels, and—along with the shanty town that attached itself to the train—was nicknamed Hell on Wheels by the men who worked it.
The leading unit of the Casement train was a rail-laden flatcar. Up ahead of it, grading crews levelled the roadbed and dropped ties, five to the rail-length. Beside the llatcar, ten "iron men," five for each 500-to-700-pound rail, pulled the iron from the car at the foreman's command, "Away she goes!" Then, at the word "Down," the rail boomed onto the ties with such precision that the track liners barely had to move it before the spikers and clampers fastened it into place. The llatcar also carried iron rods, steel bars, cable, rope, switchstands, and the like, as well as a complete blacksmith's shop at the rear.
The number of cars in the train could vary. A reporter from the Salt Lake City Deseret News described a iweiity-two-iinit version: the flatcar; a feed store and saddler's shop; a carpenter's shop and wash-house; two sleeping cars; two eating cars; a combined kitchen, counting room, and telegrapher's car; a general store; seven more sleeping cars; two private cars (one a kitchen, the other a parlor); another sleeper; a supply car; and two water cars.
So efficient was the Casement train and the supply system backing it up that from the outset, in the spring of 1866, the Union Pacific set a record by laying one mile of track a day. The pace was gradually stepped up to two and three and more in the final, frantic race with the Central.

The rolls were wound so tight that the vinyl separated from the backing in a line every few inches. I laid each roll out flat on the countertop overnight but still so much curl and paper separation made it very hard to handle. I tried both dry and wet application but neither worked very well. Probably should have laid it out in the sun before I unrolled it. Bad experience! USPS beat the heck out of the box, not to mention getting it wet during the 6 days it was anyone's guess where it was. Tracking said expected delivery Friday. Got it Tuesday. Par for them tho. Contents was sealed well and undamaged. Just thought it should be easier to work with considering I removed all the trim from the vehicle first. Live & learn!

An Overview of Pelvic Pain
The pelvis is an area that is located just below the belly button in the abdomen region. As such, it follows that pelvic pain, would be pain that affects this particular region of the body.
Pelvic pain has many facades, starting from the way it comes about, the accompanying pain and discomforts as well as the way it can be treated to the ways in which we can protect ourselves from pelvic pain.
How Many Individuals are Suffering?
Within Europe, it is estimated that up to 100 million people suffer from chronic pelvic pain. Of these people, about 27 million people suffer from severe pain that affects their day to day lives. This information was shared at the first ever EYAP, The European Year against Pain, in 2012.
In the US, between 12 to 20 percent of women suffer from chronic pelvic pain, according to the National Pain Foundation. That's between 20 and 30 million women!
Conditions Associated with Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is normally accompanied with a wide range of conditions. Some of these conditions may be as harmless as the signs of fertility for instance during menses, digestive disorder such as IBS or in some cases a sign of a particular life-threatening situation.
Pelvic pain might be steady or in some cases intermittent in nature. Severe pain often has a way of getting in the mix of things and affecting your daily lifestyle. Some women have been known to only experience significant pelvic pain during their periods, while others get affected primarily during sex with their partners.
Pelvic pain tends to affect individuals in different ways. In women, pelvic pain can be a sign of many different things such as:
- Problems with the organs in your pelvic region like the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes as well as the cervix or vagina.
- This may include endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroid tumors, mittelschmerz (painful ovulation), ovarian cysts, kidney stones, interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia.
- Ectopic Pregnancy
- Post Operative Scar Tissue (Adhesions)
- Irritable Bowel Disease
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Pelvic Congestion Syndrome
- Premenstrual Syndrome and/or Menstrual Cramps
- A sign of an infection in the urinary tract, lower intestines and rectum as well as muscle or bone.
- In men, the most common reason for pelvic pain occurs as a result of problems with the prostate.
- Pelvic pain may be slight and only gets noticeable during such times when you engage in sex or urination.
Call (602) 507 – 6550 to schedule your Appointment TODAY!
How Does Pelvic Pain Get Diagnosed?
There are four main ways in which pelvic pain gets diagnosed. These methods are: performing a pelvic examination, conducting a pelvic laparoscopy and performing an ultrasound imaging or CT Scan of the pelvic region.
These procedures are often conducted by qualified medical practitioners such as gynecologists.
What Treatments Are Available for Pelvic Pain?
A particular treatment plan is prescribed depending on the cause of the pelvic pain in question. In most cases, the treatment process involves the taking of anti-inflammatory medications, possibly hormone therapy and in some cases neurological agents.
Physical therapy may be indicated as well to include pelvic floor exercises. Behavioral therapy can help individuals deal more effectively with pelvic pain and decrease the baseline discomfort experienced.
Endometriosis treatment includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, hormonal therapy, and potentially laparoscopic surgery to remove scar tissue, growths, or adhesions while leaving reproductive organs intact.
In severe cases, patients may be required to undergo a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, about 30% of women referred to pain clinics for pelvic pain treatment have already undergone a hysterectomy.
For those individuals who do not have a surgical solution for pelvic pain relief (or it failed), medication management may help along with interventional pain treatments with Arizona pain doctors which may include:
- Ilioinguinal Nerve Blocks
- Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block – 70% success rate overall
- Spinal Cord Stimulator Treatment
Despite considerable workup and substantial treatment, pelvic pain may not have a surgical solution that relieves it. Therefore, nonoperative pain management may be effective with a comprehensive Arizona pain center.
These treatments have a low risk profile and potentially highly effective outcomes. If you or a loved one suffers from chronic pelvic pain, help is available.

The Sage Gateshead
The $122 million Sage Gateshead was conceived in 1997 after the Gateshead Council, the city's governing body, held a competition for the concert hall complex. It would be subsidized by an $83 million grant from the Arts Council, grants from One North East, a regional development agency, and the European Regional Development Fund, plus a $10.5 million donation from Sage, a local software company. Of the 100 architects who registered for the competition, 12 were asked to do concept sketches; ultimately, Foster won, out of a shortlist of six firms. This would be Foster's first concert hall, but not the last—since then the firm has been commissioned to design the Winspear Opera House in Dallas, and to renovate Avery Fisher Hall at New York City's Lincoln Center.

Hello all, I wonder, is it possible to place the directories from mailgraph, monit and munin in /usr/share and create three conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ ( just like phpmyadmin ) so that it is accessable for / from every domain on this ispconfig 3 server ? Will than everybody see the system-wide statistics instead of their own ? So maybe it is better to place these directories in every /var/www/clients/client X/ web X/web and make for every domain a specific (mailgraph) config file ?
Those are monitoring tools for servers, clients have no need to see those stats. Those are tools for sysadmins. Clients have webalizer or awstats that monitors their usage.
Hello Damir, I am the sysadmin for my server and I am also the only client on my server Also I have two FQDN ( domain.nu and domain.org ) and I want to access those stats no matter if I browse to domain.nu/stats or domain.org/stats. Place the directories in var/www/html and create a symlink in var/www/clients/client1/web1/web and var/www/clients/client1/web2/web ?
Yes, that should work, as long as FollowSymLinks is enabled for both web sites: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
