Michaels joins Oilers play-by-play radio tandem
by Edmonton Oilers Press Release / Edmonton OilersJack Michaels, the Oilers new play-by-play voice. |
- Oilers welcome Jack Michaels
- Bob Stauffer and Jack Michaels chat in studio with Dan Tencer
- Rod Phillips talks about the new hire
- Phillips retires & Oilers announce Rod's Classics
Michaels, a veteran of over 900 hockey broadcasts, joins the Oilers after eight seasons as the radio and television voice of the ECHL's Alaska Aces. While with the Aces, Michaels was honoured as the ECHL Broadcaster of the Year in 2004 and was selected by the ECHL to broadcast their annual All Star Game on five separate occasions. Last year's All Star broadcast was available to over 80 million homes on the NHL Network and Fox Sports West.
"An NHL play by play job has been a dream and believe me this is now a dream come true," said Michaels. "I know fans have keenly listened to Oilers broadcasts for three decades of fabulous moments, and frankly I can't wait to get started."
NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster Mike Emrick, voice of NHL Hockey on NBC said of Michaels, "I first met Jack five years ago, and was immediately struck by the quality of his call, his professionalism and his passion for the game. He's a great young guy who has it all. There is no question he is 100% NHL ready."
Michaels' career began after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from Ithaca College in New York. He started as a sports reporter at Cornell University and Ithaca College and then moved on to Erie Pennsylvania and New York City as a Sports Reporter and Production Assistant. Michaels then moved full-time to the hockey world, joining the Colorado Gold Kings of the WCHL where he was the play by play voice for three seasons before moving to Anchorage, Alaska.
Michaels and Stauffer will broadcast all Edmonton Oilers games this year with the exception of 10 'Rod's Classics' games when Rod Phillips, the Oilers Hall of Fame voice for the past 37 years, will be in the play by play chair.
Edmonton Oilers hockey is presented in part by the Rexall Family of Pharmacies, Molson Canadian, ATB Financial, TELUS, Cenovus Energy and Ford.

The story revolves around Kouichi Sakikabara, a transfer student from Tokyo into the 9th grade class 3 of Yomi North Junior High (In Japan it seems junior high lasts until 9th grade). He is forced to miss the first month of school, due to a collapsed lung, but when he arrives, he begins to befriend a mysterious girl who, it seems, that only he can see. The other students would act strangely when he began mentioning the girl in question, uttering strange sayings, like "You shouldn't mess with things that aren't real" and discouraging further contact with her. Sakikabara chooses not to heed these warnings, supposing that she is simply being bullied, however, the students soon begin experiencing a curse of sorts, leading to the death of classmates. The story beings here; uncovering what is causing these deaths and how it may be stopped.
This has to be one of my favorite anime of all time, the story is constantly evolving and your perspective on characters is changing just as fast. The story has a snowball effect, starting out relatively slow, but when it starts picking up, it advances pretty quickly. I have seen much criticism over the fact that the story is rather slow at first, only giving bits of information at a time, however, I found this to be one of the factors that helped to pull me into the series. My only qualm is that there are a large number of characters in the story (although out of necessity, as you cannot have a classroom with just a few people), that it may be difficult to keep track of who is who at first, however, you are able to see the children change mentally over time.
The animation was of fantastic quality, just look at a couple pictures onine for an idea. There is little music apart from the opening and closing themes, however, there are ambiant noises that build in moments of anticipation, which I thought was very fitting for this type of anime and rather enjoyed it's inclusion.
After watching the OVA episode, I literally broke down and cried. I haven't sobbed that hard in many years. I don't want to say what caused this, as it would spoil part of the story, but I give this story the highest of reccommendations.
There are no comments - leave one to be the first!

I currently play with a head ig instinct and I'm thinking about making the switch to a control-oriented frame, and I've already narrowed it down to the Yonex Vcore Tour 97 310gr. I like the spec, and it would be too much of a jump from my current frame in weight, sw, and the balance is just a little different (going the way that I like, aka more headlight). I've read and watched all the reviews that I could find. Nearly all of them say that this is a really low powered frame. But yet, when I look at the power table, the Yonex is higher that the instinct at every point but one. I'm looking into a low powered frame to get me to really work on my strokes. They are fine when I take lessons, even if we speed things up a bit, but in a match, they deteriorate and I have trouble putting any pace on the ball, relying only on the frame to do the work for me. Do you think the switch is actually a good idea, or should I look for an other frame, more in the middle in terms of power (Maybe a vcore xi 98 ? )
A really really really low powered frame was the rqis 1 tour. So low powered, i sold two of mine and switched to the 95d. I was in the same boat as you, can create heavy balls in hitting or when well prepared, but when chasing down balls my strokes fall short. I thought, why am i punishing myself with this control stick?
Low powered frame = Radical MP in any rendition. 2 cents. What's the issue with restringing the Instinct tighter or with a deader string? Seems to be a cheaper trial before changing racquet.
I did the switch. it's nice to tame the power of the strokes. But at some point, you're tired, it's sunny, and you have to generate all the power by yourself. At this point, even with a powerful string like most multis or gut, it isn't funny anymore. I'd suggest to keep a little power in the racquet or strings and a bit of spin at least to make the ball dip into the court more.
It's been a while since I demoed a Yonex, but I absolutely loved the accuracy I had. The last one I played with was an RD-7, twenty years ago . Demo a few if you can, and find the power/control level that works for you. They're amazing frames!
The VCORE Tour 97 is low powered, and the finest racquet I have ever used. I cannot think of a single weakness, other than not being able to blame my racquet for my perpetual poor performance. If you can demo, great, if not, buying it outright will not be a mistake.
I just switched to the VCORE Tour 310g (leaded up to 320g) from the Pacific X Force Pros. I can say it is slightly more powerful than the X Force Pro (which is known as a low-powered racquet), but definitely in the low-power category. I've been messing around w/ lead & balance the last week or so, and believe I've found the right combination & placement to get it where I want it. But that was a selling point for me: A racquet I could customize to 320g, 320mm (8.5 pts HL). At 310g, it played solid, but I like a little more heft to my frames. First I put all the lead in the throat, but that made it too headlight, and I was getting too 'whippy' with my forehand. Now that I've got it balanced nicely, I'm getting good momentum through the forehand, but still able to generate enough racquet head speed on the serve. I plan starting a new thread on my process & lead placement when I do my 3rd frame (the other two are already finished).
I don't find them terribly low powered. Sure, if you compare them to tweeners, there is considerable loss of power and pop. String choices and low tension can help offset the lack of power. FYI, with the VC97, balls were going long for me in comparison to my XForce.
Same observations here, my XForce (modified for more swing weight) was noticeably lower in the power department.
I would concentrate on my footwork(ie. get faster) and use those rubber resistence bands to get stronger if I were you. You very well may be able to stay with your current frame. For me, if I'm moving well and able to set up earlier then I can move into the ball and take a big cut at the it. If not moving well, it's going to be a bad day!
What does a controlled oriented frame mean? I thought frames related to power and twisting, and i thought stings and its density related to control..yeah its not exclusive but i would have thought a better way would be with the strings...
I don't have any way to try it, as TW doesn't ship test racquet to my country, and all the shops around either either don't carry yonex or don't allow test (Yes, those exist.) I guess I'll just order it, as it seems to be an awesome racquet. Everybody that played with it says that the grip size run large. I like the 3/8 on my instinct, how does the Yonex would compare ?
The grip is bigger. I usually use 4 3/8 myself and had to go down to 4 1/4 for my 97 Tours. If you want a 3/8 grip, get the Babolat skin feel to make it a true 4 3/8. Otherwise like I said, get a size down.
I've used 4 1/2 for pretty much the last 20 years, and that includes my 3 year stint w/ the Yonex RD Power 10 Long. When I demoed the VCORE Tour, I had the 4 1/2, and the grip felt slightly large to me. After reading what others had to say, I went w/ a 4 3/8, and it feels fine. I'd say the 4 3/8 is more like a 4 7/16, and the 4 1/2 was probably a 4 9/16. Effectively, the stock Yonex grip size on the VCORE is the equivalent of a Babolat/Wilson/Pacific with an overwrap.
I guess the best way to get a feel beforehand with the instinct would be to play with two overwrap, and see how it feels. I'll do that tomorrow !
Are you guys comparing the grip size of the 330, or the 310 ? I did some more research before I order it, and I found this post : http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=2738 Seems like the SL and UL Yonex have different grip size. On a french forum, somebody was saying that his 3/8 grip was small on his 310. Might it be possible that the 310 runs small/normal and the 330 runs large ?
yonex vcore 97 and vcore xi 98 I used to play with the vcore 97 330g. Played with it for a little over a year and it was much heavier than I could handle especially after a strong session of hitting. I demo'd the 310g and felt that it was good but the vcore xi 98 seems to hit the sweet spot for me e.g more forgiving, more power, more comfortable.. Either one should work but the 310g is probably for the player with more mature, developed strokes, can generate his own pace. More like a 4.5 - 5.0 player looking for something slightly less than a pro's racket.. my 2 cents.
I received it this morning. Wow, Yonex's racquet are nice ! The grip is, indeed, a tad bigger, but nothing to really worry about. At least, nothing worth getting a size smaller which would have been too small for me, imo.

From the architect. This 34,000-square-foot regional health facility located in an under-served neighborhood in southwest Atlanta combines under one roof a primary care clinic, a behavioral health clinic, childcare facilities, a dental clinic and a workforce community center. In doing so, it projects a holistic idea of wellness and a positive self-image for a challenged community. The building is also meant as a catalyst for future growth in the area.
The intention was to create a structure that feels vibrant and alive. The roof was conceived as a dynamic, protective element, a metaphoric blanket, opening upward to welcome in the public. A standing-seam "clamp" folds over the roof to house mechanical equipment, identify major entries and serve as a beacon. Inside, a decentralized, double-height circulation lobby further integrates all the programmatic components.
The notion of co-locating all these functions in a single facility to serve people of varied backgrounds led to consideration of the communal folk art of quilting, in particular its social and aesthetic traditions in the African-American community. Also an inspiration were the collaged paintings of Atlanta artist Radcliff Bailey, who pieces together found objects, archival photographs and historic imagery with jazz-like effects. These inspirations led to understanding how the building's exterior materials could reflect the arrhythmic yet unified patterns of both quilting and improvisational music. Hence the randomized patterning devices used in metal wall panels and punched window location.
A design-build, fast-track project, the health center building was completed, from start to finish, in 275 days. This required mediating between multiple stakeholders, including the city, county and community members; for example, convincing all that the support and staff spaces could be successfully shared between the various services, maximizing the building's efficiency. It was a singular achievement to design, detail and build such a sophisticated and elegant structure under particularly harsh economic and schedule constraints.

John P. East - CNP Board of Governors 1982, member 1984. United States Senator (R-NC) - chairman of the Subcommittee on Separations of Power, Senate Judiciary Committee, a leading advocate of "Judiciary reform"; an "endorser" of the Washington Times. 1 Footnotes 1
Jack Eckerd- CNP 1984, 1988; Jack Eckerd founded the Eckerd drugstore chain in 1949. In 1968, he and his wife, Ruth, founded the Jack and Ruth Eckerd Foundation, now known as Eckerd Youth Alternatives. Eckerd retired in 1996 after selling the Eckerd Corporation after J. C. Penney bought the chain in 1996 for $2.6 billion. The retail drug chain now operates in 20 states with over $5 billion in sales through its more than 2900 retail stores. Since retirement, Eckerd's primary focus has been on Eckerd Youth Alternatives, Inc. Jack Eckerd, founder and former board chairman of EYA, was named chairman emeritus. He is a close friend of Chuck Colson, and is a board member Heritage Foundation (now honorary trustee) and Hillsdale College.
The former President of Hillsdale College, George C. Roche III, was also a member of the Mont Pelerin Society, becoming a member in 1971. Roche, in 1975 hosted a Mont Pelerin meeting at the Hillsdale College. 2 Dr. Larry P. Arnn replaced Roche as president of Hillsdale College. Hillsdale College board members include CNP's Frank Shakespeare and Jeffrey Coors
Members of the United Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Presbyterian Church (US) formed the Florida Presbyterian College. In June of 1971, the two Presbyterian synods transferred full control of the college to a self-perpetuating board of trustees and affirmed a "covenant relationship" between the college and the Church. In 1972, the name was changed to Eckerd College in recognition of the major support of college trustee and former president, Jack Eckerd. 3. Footnotes 2-3

He appointed the officers and directors of Jefferson Marketing; was a "founder" of Fairness in Media, and chairman of the Coalition for Freedom, a tax-exempt foundation whose goal is to finance conservative-oriented television programs. Jefferson Marketing has absorbed most of the staff from the National Congressional Club and it has taken over such key activities as direct mail, staffed phone banks, automated telemarketing and the production and placement of commercials. 4.
Former Director of Pioneer Fund.
The Pioneer Fund served as a small part of "a multimillion dollar political empire of corporations, foundations, political action committees and ad hoc groups" active in 1980s (Washington Post, March 31, 1985, p. 1; A16) developed by Tom Ellis, Harry Weyher, Marion Parrott, Carter Wrenn and Jesse Helms. The Fund has served as a nexus between academic theory and practical political ideology. It's leadership, especially, Harry Weyher, Thomas F. Ellis and Marion A. Parrott are part of an interlocking set of directorates and associates linking the Pioneer Fund to Jesse Helms' high-tech political machine. Ellis, for example, simultaneously served as Chairman of the National Congressional Club and the Coalition for Freedom, co-founder of Fairness in Media, a board member of the Educational Support Foundation and Director of the Pioneer Fund. Harry Weyher, president of the Pioneer Fund served as lead counsel for Fairness in Media. 5
Recipients of Pioneer grants have included most of the leading Anglo-American academic race-scientists of the last several decades have been funded by the Pioneer, including William Shockley, Hans J. Eysenck, Arthur Jensen, Roger Pearson, Richard Lynn, J. Philippe Rushton, R. Travis Osborne, Linda Gottfredson, Robert A. Gordon, Daniel R. Vining, Jr., Michael Levin, and Seymour Itzkoff - all cited in The Bell Curve. (1)" 6
Founder of the Pioneer Fund, "Colonel Draper, as he was often called by his friends and admirers was a man searching for a way to restore an older order. Draper believed geneticists could scientifically prove the inferiority of Negros.... Under his direction, the Pioneer Fund's original charter outlined a commitment to "improve the character of the American people" by encouraging the procreation of descendants of the original white colonial stock." Draper turned more and more to academic irredentists still dedicated to white supremacy and eugenics. Most prominent among these early recruits was Henry Garrett, Chair of Psychology at Columbia University from 1941-1955. A Virginia born segregationist, Garrett was a key witness in defending segregation...Garrett helped to distribute grants for Draper and was one of the founders of the International Association for the Advancement of Eugenics and Ethnology (IAAEE) in 1959. The IAAEE brought together academic defenders of segregation in the U.S. and apartheid in South Africa. The Pioneer Fund supported the IAAEE and other institutions working to legitimising race science, including the IAAEE's journal, Mankind Quarterly..." 7
The Pioneer Fund has changed little since its inception. An article in the New York Times on December 11, 1977 characterized it as having "supported highly controversial research by a dozen scientists who believe that blacks are genetically less intelligent than whites." In the 1960s Nobel Laureate William Shockley (1910-1989), a physicist at Stanford University best known for his "voluntary sterilization bonus plan" received an estimated $188,710 from the Pioneer Fund between 1971 and 1978. Arthur Jensen, an educational psychologist, garnered more than a million dollars in Pioneer grants over the past three decades. Three years after being recruited by Shockely, Jensen published his now famous attack on Head Start in the prestigious Harvard Education Review. Jensen claimed the problem with black children was that they had an average IQ of only 85 and that no amount of social engineering would improve their performance. Jensen urged "eugenic foresight" as the only solution. (7)" 8
Roger Pearson, whose Institute for the Study of Man has been one of the top Pioneer beneficiaries over the past twenty years ($870,000 from 1981-1996) is the clearest example of the extremist ideology of the Fund's leadership...Taking account of all groups linked to Pearson, Pioneer support between 1975-1996 exceeds one million dollars - nearly ten percent of the total Pioneer grants for that period. 9
"For an overview on 'race and intelligence,' Murray and Herrnstein recommend two books by three Pioneer Fund recipients: Audrey Shuey, Frank C. J. McGurk, and R. Travis Osborne. McGurk is the main authority they cite to 'prove' that IQ tests are not racially biased. He was one of the 'scientific' mainstays of the segregationist movement in the southern US. In 1959 McGurk and Shuey became leading members of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics, first publisher of Mankind Quarterly 10 Other members included Senator Jesse Helms and the oil billionaire Hunt brothers. Arch-racists in the South introduced Shuey's book in court during the 1960s to argue for continuing school segregation and denying the vote to black people. University of Georgia professor Osborne also testified in court against school integration. Osborne was still, in 1992, trying to prove the long-discarded theory that brain size is somehow related to intelligence." 11
Much of The Bell Curve's racist drivel comes from Mankind Quarterly, whose principle is that the "Negroid" race is inferior to all others, and from professors funded by the pro-Nazi Pioneer Fund (PF). Behind this fascist gang stand important members of the US ruling class.
Seventeen authors cited in The Bell Curve are Mankind Quarterly (MQ) contributors. Ten are former or present editors or members of its editorial advisory board. MQ's avowed purpose is to counter "Communist" and "egalitarian" influences in anthropology. From its start in 1960, its founders and funders believed that white people were genetically superior. Robert Gayre was the founder of MQ and its editor-in-chief until 1978. As a champion of South African apartheid and a member of the ultra-right Candour League of white-ruled Rhodesia, he testified in court in 1968 that black people as a group are "worthless." Other MQ contributors have included Henry Garrett of Columbia University, who wrote pamphlets for the pro-segregation White Citizens Councils; Corrado Gini, the leader of fascist Italy's eugenics movement; and Ottmar von Verschner, a leading Nazi race-scientist and academic mentor of the concentration camp butcher Joseph Mengele.
The key figure in the PF network is Roger Pearson, who is close to Jesse Helms. Sam Crutchfield, a lawyer for Helms, has been the lawyer for Pearson's Institute for the Study of Man. The PF has given Pearson over $787,400, mostly for editing Mankind Quarterly and The Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies. The last publishes articles by PF recipients, notably Arthur Jensen, Michael Levin, and Richard Lynn. Thomas Ellis, a PF director, is a long-time friend and campaign manager for Helms. 12
In 1958, Pearson, living in London, led the Northern League. This white-power organization included former Nazi SS officials. Willis Carto, founder of the anti-black and anti-semitic Liberty Lobby, arranged a 1959 U.S. speaking tour for him. Pearson soon moved to the U.S. to edit the neo-Nazi publication Western Destiny. In Eugenics and Race he asserted: "If a nation with a more advanced, more specialized, or in any way superior set of genes mingles with, instead of exterminating, an inferior tribe, then it commits racial suicide. "
This track record won Pearson influence in Washington, DC. In 1975 he became editor of the journal of the American Security Council...Pearson also headed the U.S. chapter of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). In 1977 he became the international chair of this nest of fascist vipers. He organized its 1978 convention, which featured two U.S. Senators as keynote speakers. Then he was exposed as having recruited open neo-Nazis to WACL, and was forced to resign. Four years later,[1982] President Reagan personally thanked Pearson for his "substantial contributions to promoting and upholding those ideals and principles that we value at home and abroad." 13
"Pearson eventually replaced Gayre as editor of The Mankind Quarterly. Pearson, more than most, saw the potential in manipulating genetics for political goals when, in 1959, he wrote Eugenics and Race. He argued that the white race is endangered by inferior genetic stock, but with proper use of modern biological technology "a new super-generation" descended from "only the fittest" of the previous generation can be produced. Whoever adopted such a scientific breeding program "would dominate the rest of the world". Moving to the United States Pearson quickly became involved in far-right politics, first editing Western Destiny and later the short-lived The New Patriot, a magazine designed to conduct "a responsible but penetrating inquiry into every aspect of the Jewish Question". It included articles such as "Zionists and the Plot Against South Africa", "Early Jews and the Rise of Jewish Money Power", and "Swindlers of the Crematoria". Despite his fascist connections, Pearson became increasingly well connected with the Republican Party and the right-wing think-tank, The Heritage Foundation. 14
"Henry Garrett, Chair of Psychology at Columbia University from 1941 to 1955. A Virginia born segregationist, Garrett was a key witness defending segregation in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. During the 1950s and 1960s, Garrett helped to distribute grants for the Pioneer Fund and was one of the founders of the International Association for the Advancement of Eugenics and Ethnology (IAAEE) in 1959. The IAAEE brought together academic defenders of segregation in the USA and apartheid in South Africa. The Pioneer Fund supported the IAAEE and other institutions working to legitimise race-science, including the IAAEE's journal, The Mankind Quarterly." 15
Roger Pearson was a writer and organizer for the Nazi Northern League of northern Europe, who in 1977 joined the editorial board of Policy Review, the monthly Heritage Foundation publication. William Shockley, Arthur Jensen and Roger Pearson, who has written that "inferior races" should be "exterminated" were funded while Tom Ellis was director on the Pioneer board. At that same time, Ellis served on the CNP's thirteen-member executive committee with Holly Coors, Paul Weyrich, and Heritage Foundation president, Edwin Feulner until June 1989. Oliver North and Reed Larson also joined the executive committee.
Recall that in order to be a CNP member, a biography/resume must be submitted by a CNP member and the executive must have a unanimous vote in order for an individual to be asked to be a member. CNP's Gary North writes of the formation years of the CNP including himself with Timothy LaHaye, Terry J. Jeffers and Terry Dolan, in the article Gary North on the CNP
In the United States, WACL's first chairman was Roger Pearson, a white supremacist, eugenicist and neo-Nazi. Pearson was the editor of Willis Carto's anti-Semitic rag, Western Destiny, the forerunner of the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight tabloid. By the mid 1970s, Pearson served on the editorial boards of both the Heritage Foundation 15a and the American Security Council. Pearson, who has described himself as a "mainstream conservative," boasted to an associate about his alleged role in hiding Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death" who directed Nazi "medical experiments" at the Auschwitz extermination camp. With degrees in anthropology and economics, Pearson is the author several books on eugenics. His most "popular" are Eugenics and Race and Race and Civilization. He credits Professor Hans F. K. Gunther, a Nazi racial theoretician, as the inspiration behind the latter volume. Under Pearson's tutelage, WACL added Western European chapters that were drawn from the ranks of Nazi war criminals, Third Reich collaborators, neo-Nazis and right-wing terrorists. Western European affiliates included the racist British League of Rights and Italy's Italian Social Movement (MSI). Pino Rauti, the founder of the outlawed group, Ordine Nuovo was a key WACL Western European contact.... Rauti and countless other Italian fascists including the war criminal, June Valerio "Black Prince" Borghese, and key members of the Italian general staff, were "rehabilitated" Nazi collaborators recruited by the CIA into NATO's "stay behind" anti-communist terror network, also known as "Gladio."... 15b
The National Congressional Club was Jesse Helms' PAC based in Raleigh and directed by Helms' senior advisor, attorney Tom Ellis. National Congressional Club, raised $9.8 million in the 1982 election cycle. In the 1984 cycle, the club raised $5.7 million while Helms campaign committee raised $13.99 million, 16 The Club dissolved in the 1990's, with many staffers absorbed into other campaigns.
The Congressional Club began after the 1972 Senate campaign, when Ellis retained Richard Viguerie (CNP) to help pay off the Helms campaign debt. Ellis and Viguerie built the Congressional Club mailing list to more than 300,000 regular contributors -- a constituency for Helms and a major financial resource within the conservative movement... Besides Viguerie, Phillips [Howard Phillips], and Dolan [ John T. (Terry) Dolan] connections, Helms is actively represented in Weyrich's [Paul Weyrich] coordinating groups. 17. Footnotes 4-17

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A midnight deadline passed Friday, but the Fox network has still not resolved its differences with Time Warner Cable on a deal to keep its channels on the air in several major cities.
Time Warner Cable and News Corp. (NWS, Fortune 500), Fox's parent company, have been locked in a public battle over how much the cable giant should pay for the right to deliver Fox networks into its subscribers' homes.
If a deal is not reached, all of the Fox-owned broadcast networks and some of its cable channels could disappear for most of Time Warner Cable's 13 million subscribers in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston.
Shortly after midnight ET, representatives from both companies said they were still negotiating.
News Corp. wants to charge Time Warner Cable (TWC) $1 per subscriber for airing its broadcast station, Fox. The contracts for six Fox cable channels -- FX, Speed, Fuel TV, Fox Reality, Fox Soccer and Fox Sports en Español -- as well as certain regional sports networks are also slated to expire. But Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network will not be affected.
As the deadline approached, a flurry of government officials tried to intervene. On Thursday, Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., wrote a letter calling for a 30-day "cooling off period" to avoid programming blackouts. Time Warner Cable responded that it would agree to an interim agreement, but a Fox Network representative said the company was not ready to agree to that temporary deal and would continue to negotiate.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski also weighed in, saying the companies should "agree to a temporary extension of carriage."
Fox refused an offer made by Time Warner Cable Wednesday to enter binding arbitration with the FCC. That offer stemmed from a suggestion made in a letter written Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who is the chairman of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Communication, Technology and the Internet, addressed to both companies.
A Time Warner Cable spokeswoman said "we've offered reasonable compensation, agreed to carry Fox while we work out a deal, and agreed to binding arbitration. We've done everything we can to reach a fair agreement." She would not comment on the fees offered to Fox, saying that negotiations are ongoing "but [Fox's] current demands are still unreasonable," especially during a recession.
The dispute reflects television's changing business model, as programming choices continue to expand and advertising revenues plummet, noted David Wertheimer, chief executive of the Entertainment Technology Center at the University of Southern California.
Cable networks have always counted on revenue from both advertising and subscriber fees. So even as ad sales have declined, cable channels have stayed afloat on those fees, which Wertheimer says have remained steady. But broadcast networks that rely solely on ad revenue are casting about for new sources of revenue, which is likely what's driving Fox's bid for higher fees.
At the same time, providers like Time Warner Cable are in a costly battle to retain subscribers as they fend off threats from satellite TV and Web-based programming. Time Warner Cable argues that Fox is charging too much to renew the contract and that any cost increase would only hurt consumers.
End-of-year standoffs between cable providers and TV networks aren't uncommon, since these deals typically expire on Dec. 31. At midnight, Fox is scheduled to be airing the Billboard New Year's Eve with Carmen Electra and FX is slated to show paid programming.
If the new year doesn't bring a new agreement, it would be a lose-lose situation for the companies. Time Warner Cable's customers would undoubtedly be angered to lose access to programming like NFL Football, "House" and "American Idol," and some might cancel their subscriptions. At the same time, the Fox networks would lose millions of viewers that its advertisers want to reach.
The companies will likely come to an agreement, however. Last year Time Warner Cable and Viacom (VIA), which owns MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, were deadlocked in a similar battle but reached an agreement early on Jan. 1.
But two Florida cable subscribers, who also happen to be avid football fans, weren't willing to take that chance. University of Florida alums Thomas Moore and Richard Anderson were so concerned that a stalemate would cause them to miss the Sugar Bowl football game on Jan. 1 that they filed a petition for temporary injunction Wednesday against News Corp.
Their complaint, filed by Morgan & Morgan law firm, claims that the two men "can never be made whole" if they miss the New Year's Day game.
According to the filing, Thomas Moore and Richard Anderson "have alleged and will demonstrate that [News Corp.'s] actions are immoral, unethical, oppressive, and unscrupulous."
News reports said Circuit Judge Maura Smith in Orlando declined to rule on the case Wednesday, saying she would let a U.S. judge decide if federal court was the proper venue.
Calls to Smith's office and to Morgan & Morgan were not returned, and it remains unclear whether Moore and Anderson will be able to witness what they describe as an "event of undeniable public interest."
In a separate dispute, Cablevision Systems, which delivers cable programming to homes in the New York metropolitan area, said Friday it was no longer carrying channels operated by Scripps Networks, including The Food Channel and HGTV.
"We are sorry that Scripps' current financial difficulties are making it impossible for them to continue our relationship on terms that are reasonable for Cablevision and our customers," Cablevision said in a statement. "We wish Scripps well and have no expectation of carrying their programming again, given the dramatic changes in their approach to working with distributors to reach television viewers."
"Viewers love our talent and our shows, which is why Food Network and HGTV rank among the top networks in cable," said Kenneth W. Lowe, chairman of Scripps Networks Interactive, in a statement. "But our valuable networks simply are not being compensated like top ten networks by Cablevision."
Scripps says it has launched viewer Web campaigns aimed at getting the two networks back on Cablevision, which says it has 4.7 million customers in the New York area.
In a another cable retransmission negotiation, Baltimore-based Sinclair Broadcasting said Thursday it has agreed to an 8-day extension of its agreement with cable operator Mediacom, to midnight ET on Jan. 8. The negotiations affect customers in markets that include Minneapolis-St.Paul. St. Louis, Milwaukee and Nashville, Tenn.

"Such a wonderful recipe. I used to make one similar to this one that had dried parsley but ran out of that. So sought this one out . Thank God I had all the ingredients although I added minced garlic and used pace mild salsa and spaghetti sauce. Its what I had on hand, and it came out great.. I paired it with brown rice and a kale salad from 5 dollar dinners on food network. It has shredded carrots, red onions , vinegar and mayo . It complimented the pork perfectly. Highly recommend this meal. The longer you simmer the pork and cabbage the better and softer it comes out."

Colorado Northwestern Community College is considering a feasibility study to gauge area businesses' support for possible projects at the college's Craig and Rangely campuses.
CNCC President John Boyd said he is working with a consulting firm to decide whether the college should commission such a study and what the college's needs are.
"What we look at is what it will take to reach our vision from where we're at," Boyd said. "It's a way of trying to reach our goals."
Boyd explained to the college's board of control Monday evening that he is working with the Salt Lake City-based Clements Group on the study.
"They've worked with over 50 percent of the community colleges in the country," he said.
Boyd became familiar with the company during his tenure at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in South Carolina. There, Clements Group helped the college raise $7.5 million for a new health science facility and about $2 million in program support money.
"Right now we're very much in a discussion phase of what our needs are," Boyd said of CNCC, where he's been president for one year. "The college is never short of needs."
If the college decides to proceed with the study, Boyd said Clements Group would interview about 75 companies in Moffat, Rio Blanco and Routt counties then report to the college on the feasibility of a project campaign.
"And what types of projects people are willing to invest in," Boyd said.
Such a campaign would be the first of its kind for CNCC. Boyd said some possible projects could include program enhancements or endowments for scholarships and programs.
"We're working now at looking at possible projects," Boyd said. "Most of the projects are above and beyond what we're able to do now."

A tip from the public on Tuesday led police to the last of four suspects in a Sylvania aggravated burglary case.
Shahid McClellan, 19, was arrested by the Toledo Police Department at a house in the West Sylvania Avenue and Bennett Road area around 11 p.m., said Sylvania police Capt. Rick Schnoor.
Mr. McClellan, who is charged with complicity to aggravated robbery and complicity to aggravated burglary, was staying with a relative in the area. He is one of four charged in connection with a March 13 aggravated robbery in a quiet Sylvania neighborhood in the 6000 block of Apple Meadow Drive.
On Tuesday, police arrested Rolland Houke, 18, and Juanita Osley, 20, both of Toledo, and Diana Schaub, 27, of Swanton.
Police said the suspects began following a man and a woman as the couple were driving in the Toledo area and stayed behind them until the victims were near their Sylvania home in the 6000 block of Apple Meadow Drive early March 13.
The victims were trying to enter their house through the garage around 12:45 a.m. when Mr. Houke allegedly pointed a gun at them and "demanded they hand over all their valuables," police said. The couple complied — giving up credit cards, cash, keys, along with several other items — and the suspect fled with another suspect in a vehicle.
Mr. McClellan stood in the driveway as a look out, Captain Schnoor said.
Mr. McClellan, who was considered armed and dangerous, told police several times he would turn himself in but never did.
Mr. Houke, Ms. Osley, and Ms. Schaub were indicted by a Lucas County grand jury April 6. Mr. Houke was indicted on one count of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated robbery, and robbery with a gun specification.
Ms. Osley and Ms. Schaub were each indicted on one count of complicity to aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated burglary, and robbery with a gun specification. Ms. Schaub was also indicted on one count of tampering with evidence.

Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) has announced a record number of submissions for the 10th edition, at least 60% increase from 2012. The festival has received 3,500 film submissions from 143 countries.
Since the inaugural Festival back in 2004 the number of submissions has risen year on year with an encouraging increase from the Arab world, which this year contributes to 35% of the submissions.
The diverse selection of submissions saw films coming from some first time entrants including Belarus, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Laos and Puerto Rico.
From South Asia there were dramatic increases in the number of film submissions from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. And from Europe there was a boost from many countries with Denmark, Spain and Belgium doubling their film submissions from last year.
Submissions from North America also escalated with submissions doubling from Canada and encouraging growth from the United States. Closer to home there was an encouraging rise from Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Bahrain, Lebanon and Morocco with submissions from Qatar doubling.
Masoud Amralla Al Ali, Artistic Director of DIFF, said: "Every year we receive a high amount of submissions but this year we have been blown away by the high calibre, quality filmmakers who have sent in their films to be considered for our decennial addition. It's encouraging to once again see an increase in submissions from the region and the past 12 months have seen a significant number of Arab films succeed at an international level.
Several regional and international films presented at DIFF last year and films from this year's Festival are currently being considered for the Oscars from their respective countries such as Egypt's contender "Winter of Discontent" from Ibrahim El Batout, Saudi Arabia's contender "Wadjda" from Haifaa Al Mansour, Lebanon's representative "Blind Intersections" from Lara Saba, Iran's entry "The Past" from Asghar Farhad and from Italy The Great Beauty from Paolo Sorrentino. With such a diverse selection of submissions to choose from we are in position to bring the very best of cinema to DIFF audiences this December."

Ready To Help: Students recognize the willingness of Rose-Hulman faculty members to offer assistance at any time of the day – part of the institute's special values. (Photo by Shawn Spence)
Rose-Hulman has received top marks for faculty accessibility, administration operations, and academic rigor from students rating their collegiate experiences for The Princeton Review's 2014 "The Best 378 Colleges" book. The institute was profiled among America's best colleges for the sixth consecutive year.
There are 60 specialty categories. Rose-Hulman was ranked in the top 20 in the following:
The Princeton Review notes that Rose-Hulman has "professors who are always available outside of class." One student explained in the survey: "Our professors are personal and focus on undergraduate education. They will know your name and ask if you are okay if you miss a class or two."
Overall, according to The Princeton Review, Rose-Hulman has "a combination of strong academics and personal attention, small class sizes, and a family atmosphere that's a rarity" among colleges specializing in science, engineering, and mathematics.
The Princeton Review featured six Rose-Hulman professors in its 2012 Best Professors book.
And, finally, the publication notes that Rose-Hulman has a "great alumni base" and students benefit from a nearly 99 percent career placement rate.
Rose-Hulman students joined 126,000 colleagues throughout the country (average 333 per campus) in rating their college's academics, administration, and student body. The ranking methodology uses a five-point Likert scale to convert qualitative student assessments into quantitative data for school-to-school comparisons.

infant/toddler program
As with our preschool, our infant/toddler program offers a wonderful nature-centered program where children ages birth through 2 years will have opportunities to spend large blocks of time outside. Our infant/toddler Outdoor Classrooms were designed to offer our youngest children the opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy our beautiful Santa Barbara weather, explore, discover, investigate, and move freely wherever their curiosity takes them. We spend most of our time in our Outdoor Classrooms, allowing children the freedom to experience the world around them.
Our philosophy of caring for infants and toddlers is child-driven and based solely on each child's unique and individual needs. Each child feels loved and nurtured by a consistent, loving caregiver so that a trusting, long-term relationship is established. We base our daily activities on where children are in their social, emotional, physical, cognitive, creative, and language development and in conjunction with the extent of their prior group care experiences.
We have two areas in our infant/toddler program:
non-mobile to crawlers (approximately birth to 12 months)
toddlers (approximately 12 to 24 months)
When children are two years old, they transition into our
Preschool Readiness Program
where they will learn skills necessary to succeed in preschool. Learn more about Hope 4 Kids' Preschool Readiness Program
Our infant areas are engineered so that babies are able to observe the children in the toddler area and vice versa. Younger children will benefit from observing older children and will experience a smoother transition into the older areas because they are familiar with the environments, children, and staff. Toddlers will experience social development opportunities and gain self-confident and self-worth as they realize they are being observed by younger children, a wonderful transition for them as they prepare to enter our preschool classrooms.
Our families, our community, our schools, and our work places are all comprised of people of different ages. We believe that children must have early opportunities to build social and emotional skills to work and interact with people of all ages both in learning from and in mentoring others. Our flow of daily activities allows children to experience genuine community among their own age group and learn to build relationships with all ages from peers through adults in our center. These skills will be extremely valuable as they learn how to work with others in school, families, their communities, and life.
Infant/Toddler Care Program Details:

- - Normal show bit?
Normal show bit? I was recently at a A-circuit show and in one of the trainers barns he had a couple of western bridles hanging. I went for a closer look (they were beautiful) and I noticed that the port on the bit must have been 3 1/2" high! I've never seen a bit like this so I was quite taken aback. I could not imagine putting something that severe in my horses mouth, but I don't show either. Would this bit only be used for shows? Is this the norm or am I just a rookie? |
Haha, def not normal! I guess it depends on what you're showing in. If it was western pleasure, then they were definately illegal! I've heard that judges will take the bit out of the horses mouth and check it as part of the class. That's a very harsh bit. I can't even begin to think of putting something harsher than a tom thumb in my horse's mouth! I don't like shanks...lol! |
at lots of AQHA shows especially in Jr Pleasure classes they will do a bit check. They will have people drop bridles and check out the bits. They will also look at horses who have bosals on too make sure that there faces aren't all banged up. I always love seeing a bit check, but have never seen anybody be excused. |
I think you must be talking about at cathedral bit. Did it look something like this? http://www.nrsworld.com/istarimages/...I-918357_d.jpg I am unsure as to the real purpose of them but I agree with you, it seems to be a bit too much. |
Ouch. I sure wouldn't wnat that in my mouth! |
there are some trainers that believe you need to work the horse in a severe bit so they fear it...I don't agree but... |
Any bit with a port no higher than 3.5 inches is leagal according to AQHA rules. So that cathedral is most likely legal. |
Oh gosh, I could see a horse practically gagging the entire time. |
My hands arent soft enough for something like that... not yet... still working on it.... |
A bit like that cant really be used to school in. Its more of the kind of bit that you would put on if you wanted a little more control in your pleasure class. I have used one on my horse before but I dont use it very often. |

Finding an unauthorized use of your photograph on the web is upsetting. But what can you do about it? You can contact an attorney for assistance. But if you haven't registered your photo in advance of the infringement, then you won't be eligible for statutory damages. Attorneys will take such cases on contingency only under certain circumstances. It then will cost a lot to pursue the infringement when paying the attorney an hourly fee. In the alternative, you can send a cease and desist and/or a demand for payment yourself to the infringer. But such letters are often ignored.
Fortunately, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) gives you another option. Enacted in 1998, the DMCA implemented treaties signed at the 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Geneva conference. It addresses many issues, one of which affects photographers directly in this situation. The DMCA states that while an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is not liable for transmitting information that may infringe a copyright, the ISP must remove materials from users' websites that appear to constitute copyright infringement after it receives proper notice. Unlike other copyright infringement remedies, your copyright does not have to be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office for you to take advantage of this DMCA provision.
Please note that the DMCA is US law only. However, copyright law is similar in the countries that are signatories to the Berne Convention. More information can be found on the website of the United States Copyright Office.
Step 1: Finding the ISP that is hosting the website with your image
If you find a website that is using one of your images without permission, contact the ISP that is hosting the culpable website to report the infringement and ask that the infringement stop. The letter you send is called a "DMCA takedown notice." The ISP is required to make its agent's name and address available so that you can send it the notification.
So how do you find the hosting ISP? The Internet provides many options. A "who is" search on the website name may help. But another option, using a DNS lookup, may provide better information.
Take, for example, my wildlife photography website at www.vividwildlife.com. Enter the information as shown below:
The results are shown below. Note the IP address identified.
Clicking on the IP Address provides the IP information for it. Go past the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) information to see that the IP address of 126.96.36.199 is part of the "Net Range" belonging to GoDaddy.com. The information even provides the address to send complaints for "Abuses," as shown by the red arrow below.
Some websites provide the contact information for copyright/DMCA complaints directly. For example, Flickr has a link to "Copyright/IP Policy" at the bottom of the home page:
When you click on the link, you'll find the instructions and optional addresses where to send your notice:
Step 2 - Drafting your Takedown Notice
Your Takedown Notice to the hosting ISP must meet certain requirements. Specifically, your notification must:
- Be in writing
- Be signed by you, as the copyright owner, or your agent (your electronic signature is sufficient)
- Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed (or a list of infringements from the same site)
- Identify the material that is infringing your work
- Include your contact information
- State that you are complaining in "good faith"
- State that, "under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in the notification is accurate" and
- State that you have the right to proceed (because you are the copyright owner or the owner's agent)
Your notice may look like the following to make your claim:
VIA Email at firstname.lastname@example.com Re: Copyright Claim To the ISP Hosting Company: I am the copyright owner of the photographs being infringed at: http://www.vividwildlife.com/Alaska.htm http://www.vividwildlife.com/links.htm Copies of the photographs being infringed are included to assist with their removal from the infringing websites. This letter is official notification under the provisions of Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to effect removal of the above-reported infringements. I request that you immediately issue a cancellation message as specified in RFC 1036 for the specified postings and prevent the infringer, who is identified by its web address, from posting the infringing photographs to your servers in the future. Please be advised that law requires you, as a service provider, to "expeditiously remove or disable access to" the infringing photographs upon receiving this notice. Noncompliance may result in a loss of immunity for liability under the DMCA. I have a good faith believe that use of the material in the manner complained of here is not authorized by me, the copyright holder, or the law. The information provided here is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I swear under penalty of perjury that I am the copyright holder. Please send me at the address noted below a prompt response indicating the actions you have taken to resolve this matter. Sincerely, /s/ Carolyn E. Wright Email: email@example.com |
After the ISP receives the notice, it should remove the infringing materials within a reasonable time.
First consider whether the use of your image is a fair use
In addition to the statutory requirements of your letter, courts require that you must evaluate whether the use of your image at issue is a fair use before you send the demand letter. Review the law as to what comprises fair use to help you decide whether the use qualifies. My article on fair use should help.
Counter notification
The same provision of copyright law that allows for the takedown notice also allows the alleged infringer to file a counter notice. After sending your takedown notice to the ISP, the ISP will notify the alleged infringer of the notice. The infringer then can send a counter notice to the ISP declaring that the infringer "has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled" and other requirements of Section 512 (g). At that point, the ISP is caught in the middle. By law, the ISP must repost the infringing material to its original location.
Unfortunately, the only option then to stop the infringement is to file a lawsuit asking the court to enter an injunction stopping the use of the copyright material. Since the infringer can easily move the use of the copyrighted material to another ISP, it's best to include a copyright infringement claim in the lawsuit. Such lawsuits are expensive and significant damages usually can only be recovered if your image is registered. Fortunately, most infringers don't take the time to file a counter notice. But be sure to register the copyrights to your photos so that you have all of the tools necessary to fight copyright infringement.
Infringements are much too common these days. Fortunately, there are tools to fight them – the DMCA takedown notice is one of the powerful ones.

K-State men finish third in Big 12
AMES, Iowa — The Kansas State track and field team thought it could contend for a Big 12 title this past weekend at the indoor championship.
And though the Wildcats didn't win, they did finish third with 96 points — the best mark for K-State since 2004 when it finished second.
The K-State women finished seventh at the Leid Recreational Center with 41 points.
"I think the things that's exciting from a team perspective is we don't lose very many points," K-State head coach Cliff Rovelto said. "We have a team that a lot of young athletes scored points. We should only lose two of the men who scored for us.
"We had a lot of young guys perform at a high level. I really can't find too much at fault with what we did on the men's team."
Erik Kynard was back doing what he seemingly always does now — winning. The senior high jumper set a new championship meet and facility record with his jump of 2.31 meters (7-7) to win his third straight Big 12 indoor title.
Zack Riley finished second behind Kynard, making them the first-ever teammates to finish 1-2 in the men's high jump at the conference championship meet indoors.
Riley went over the bar cleanly at 2.18 meters (7-01.75) and narrowly missed his attempts at 2.23 meters (7-03.75), which would have put him in contention to go to the NCAA Championship.
After last week's winter storm caused travel problems for some teams and the postponement of the meet one day, action began on Friday, and K-State and the rest of the conference put up some strong numbers to make it an exciting battle for the championship on both sides.
The depth of the conference was on display as less than 10 points separated first place from third place on the women's side and less than 10 points was the difference between fifth place and eighth. For the men, only six points separated fourth place from seventh.
"It ended up being a little more difficult than I thought," Kynard said of breaking the Big 12 meet record. "It took a few more tries to get it. It's a nice facility, and it's been quite agitating for me to jump here, so to speak, because I haven't jumped as well here and today was an alright performance."
Riley, who won NJCAA championship at Rend Lake College before transferring to K-State, said finishing 1-2 is a big accomplishment for he and Kynard and demonstrates why they both chose to wear purple and jump for the Wildcats.
"It completely defines K-State's program in the high jump," Riley said. "That's the reason why I came here to K-State was for Coach Rovelto and everything that he's done with the high jump.
"sI knew coming in, Erik and I would be good together, especially in conference, and I'm happy with how it all ended overall for our team."
Just like the women's multi-event, the men's was an area the Wildcats dominated and scored in bunches. The trio of Devin Dick, Tomas Kirielius and Reinis Kregers combined to score 18 team points with Dick finishing second and Kirielius in third.
Kregers finished fifth in his first heptathlon as a Wildcat.
Texas freshman Johannes Hock won the heptathlon, but it was an event that had a major impact on keeping the team scores close as Jake Wolhford posted a no-height in the pole vault and did not score any points toward his heptathlon total. Wolhford was in fifth place at the time, and that allowed Kregers to move up the standings and it denied Texas the opportunity to score more points in the event.
Dick posted a score of 5,603 points to rank sixth in school history. It also will come just short of going to the NCAA Championship as it ranks No. 17 so far this season. Kirielius also posted a new PR in the event with 5,537 points. His score placed him eighth in school history. Kregers totaled 5,216 points during the two days of action in the heptathlon.
After the high jump and heptathlon, it was up to the remaining Wildcats in action to fight for the men's first Big 12 title.
Carlos Rodriguez finished fifth in the 60-meter dash shortly after Tarique Hill was fourth in the 60-meter hurdles. Rodriguez also would go on to finish fourth in the 200 meters later to contribute a total of 10 points to the team total individually.
On the women's side, Richelle Farley finished eighth in the 60-meter hurdles to open the running events for the team. Freshman Tia Gamble scored three points for the team in her first Big 12 meet, as she claimed sixth in the 600 yards.
Another freshman, Sonia Gaskin was fifth in the 800 meters in 2:09.26, good for four points.
Kyle Hanson ran one of the most exciting races of the day for the men in the 800 meters. Hanson led from gun and into the No. 4-ranked runner in the nation, trailing him in Iowa State's Edward Kemboi. Over the final 50 meters it was Texas Tech's Nick Rivera that caught him, though, along with UT's Kyle Thompson and Tyler Payton as Hanson finished fourth in 1:53.16.
In the field events, freshman Alyssa Kelly placed fifth in the triple jump with her leap of 11.99 meters (39-04.00). Fellow freshman Jordan Matthews just missed scoring points as she came in ninth with a jump of 11.65 meters (38-02.75).
K-State's men also made an impact in the triple jump with a trio of newcomers in action. Freshman Devin Field was fourth with a mark of 14.68 meters (48-02.00), and fellow freshman Ifeanyi Otuonye took sixth with his leap of 14.38 meters (47-02.25).
Jharyl Bowry just missed qualifying for the final and scoring points for the team, as he placed ninth at 13.89 meters (45-07.00).
Sophomore Joslyn Barnes was in action in the women's high jump a day after finishing fifth in the pentathlon. Barnes managed to clear 1.71 meters (5-07.25) and finish eighth. She scored five points for the team at the meet.
Martina Tresch ran her fastest time of the season in the 3,000 meters, as she finished fifth and scored four points. She clocked in at 9:26.58. Her fifth-place finish also ties her placement at the 2011 Big 12 Championship.
Sophomore Erika Schiller also had a good race in the event, crossing the finish line in 9:50.40. It marks her fastest time in the event on an over-sized track.
Some Wildcats will be in action next week at NCAA Last Chance meets in an effort to post a mark ranked in the top 16 in their respective events to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championship at Arkansas in two weeks.

Members of ISSI have produced a number of books which can be purchased through the site. They cover issues around Sexual Identity, Sexual Orientation Change Efforts and how the current scientific research into sexual identity affects the discussion in the Church. Use the menu above or links below to see each book and then click on the Amazon link to purchase.
We also produce a number of pamphlets which can be found here.
This is a new resource on homosexuality for the Christian. The book looks at various questions that have been asked by people sorting out the complicated questions surrounding the topic of homosexuality, including a Christian perspective on it; what causes sexual orientation; whether sexual orientation can change; why sexual identity is a more constructive approach than focusing on sexual orientation; and more.
Get it Now
Ex-Gays? A Longitudinal Study
In 2007, Dr. Stanton Jones and Dr. Mark Yarhouse published a longitudinal study of whether sexual orientation can change and whether attempts to change sexual orientation are harmful. InterVarsity Press has a number of helpful resources, including the paper that was read when the study was released in Nashville.
The study has been updated recently, and a paper with findings from 6-7 years was presented at the American Psychological Association in 2009.
How prevalent is homosexuality? What causes it? Is it a psychopathology? Can it be changed? Questions like these often accompany discussions of homosexual behavior. For answers we naturally look to scientific studies. But what does the scientific research actually show? More important, what place should this research have in shaping the church's response.
Stanton Jones and Mark Yarhouse help us face these issues squarely and honestly. In four central chapters they examine how scientific research has been used within church debates – in particular within Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal contexts. They then survey the most recent and best scientific research and sort out what it actually shows. Next they help us interpret the research's relevance to the moral debate within the church. In a final chapter they make a strong case for a traditional Christian sexual ethic. Each chapter concludes with helpful discussion questions.
This book is for the person who is struggling with same-sex attraction and behavior. It was written to be read on its own or in conjunction with a clinician who uses The Sexual Identity Clinic workbook. Written in a moderate tone, this book offers insights into sexuality and sexual identity and how these can be understood in the context of sanctification and redemption. At a practical level, readers will learn ways to track patterns of same-sex attraction, manage their environment, exchange old scripts that have shaped their sexual identity for new, and consolidate gains they have made in their sexual identity and behavior.
The focus of this book is on helping people live in a way that is consistent with their beliefs and values regarding homosexual behavior. It is a practical resource for people who live in what Christians think of as the "time between the times," when a person knows their victory is secure but anticipates the day then their victory is complete
What does it mean to develop a sexual identity? What factors influence such an identity? How does religious identity inform a person's sexual identity and vice versa? This book answers these questions with an eye for the development and synthesis of sexual identity among Christians who experience same-sex attraction. Those who are interested in the intersection of religious faith and sexual identity will be fascinated to learn about Christians who integrated their same-sex feelings into a gay identity and those who did not.
In Sexual Identity Synthesis, Yarhouse and Tan introduce the reader to these two groups of people, and they allow them to 'tell their story'. Contrasting concerns about authenticity and righteousness, as well as idolatry and integrity factor into sexual identity development and synthesis, as individuals from a common faith tradition sort out the complexities of how to achieve a level of congruence between how they live and what they believe. Yarhouse and Tan end the book with several practical suggestions for theory, research, and clinical practice. Indeed, scholars, clinicians, and religious leaders will benefit from the experiences of these persons of faith – some of whom identified and other dis-identified with a gay explanatory framework.

Rotorua's Russell Harrison wants to make sure all visitors and competitors of Te Matatini 2013 are entertained outside of the competition with a concert featuring some of New Zealand's top acts.
Rotorua will host Te Matatini Kapa Haka 2013, which is expected to attract tens of thousands of performers and audience members to the event held between Thursday, February 20 and Sunday, February 24. The biennial kapa haka festival will see 41 teams competing for the title of national kapa haka champion over four days of competition in three competition pools at the Rotorua International Stadium.
With the finals being held on the Sunday and only nine teams performing, Mr Harrison wants to provide those other 32 teams who aren't performing on the final day with an event where they can get together and enjoy themselves with other performers and supporters. He is organising a concert with top Kiwi acts in conjunction with the festival.
"We have to celebrate these guys," Mr Harrison said.
Through Harrison Entertainment, he has organised Uprising - a concert which celebrates culture and Aotearoa through music. The R18 concert will be held at Arawa Park on February 23. Mr Harrison said Ardijah, reggae band 1814 and hip hop pioneer/ DJ, DJ Sir-Vere would all perform at Uprising, which would begin at 6pm.
Mr Harrison said he had been attending national kapa haka festivals since 1994 and often found there wasn't anything else planned for performers in the host cities. He wanted to make sure people attending the festival were able to enjoy another event while they were in Rotorua, which he said the city was good at.
"I think that it's important that we take on the role of being responsible hosts as well."
He said he had received a lot of support from the Rotorua District Council in regards to organising a safe and controlled event and hoped it would be a success.
Earlybird tickets will cost $30 but later tickets will cost $40 through www.iTicket.co.nz.

Purchasing a night guard06/12/2009 |
I`ve used a night guard because of teeth grinding for over 15 years. One dentist made it to sit on the lower back teeth. Another made it to sit over the upper front teeth. My grinding isn`t so bad that I`m wearing down the guard. However, I had 5 gumline fractures fixed yesterday - 3 on the cheekside and 2 on the tongue side.I really want those to be the last. How can I find/acquire/purchase a night guard that will help?
This isn`t something Consumer Reports advises on. But it`s certainly an area where I feel I could spend a lot of money and have very little to show for it.
Any advice?
To get a new mouthguard you will need to go to your dentist and have it fabricated. Over-the-counter devices may give some short-term relief but are not recommended for long-term use. The over-the-counter devices may actually cause harm if used long term.
