Black Friday Shopping Hours in Stow
Don't let the tryptophan make you sleep in — there are deals to be had in Stow stores!

If you have a black belt in Black Friday shopping, listen up: area big-box retailers are gearing up to dazzle bargain hunters even earlier this year—starting on Thanksgiving Day!
Last week, Walmart announced that it would open its doors at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22 and offer holiday doorbusters while supplies last. These include deals on TVs, iPads, an electric scooter for $79 and a steam mop for $39.
Not to be outdone, Target and Best Buy are also planning all-out holiday shopping assaults.
Target's deals begin at 9 p.m. According to an ad leaked online, the best deals will be for TVs, a Nook, a Nikon camera and an XBOX 360 Kinect bundle.
At Best Buy, doors open at midnight. Doorbusters include deals on TVs, phones and Samsung laptop bundles.
Walmart will offer its biggest deals from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. The store will offer three items at low prices — an iPad, a TV and a Blu-ray player. If the store runs out, you can still buy them at discounted prices but you must register for them online by midnight and have them delivered to your local store.
According to TheBlackFriday.com, several other stores will also have doorbuster sales on Thursday night or at midnight on Friday, including Kohl's.
Want to avoid the holiday shopping mega-crowds altogether? Look for Cyber Monday deals on Nov. 26 or visit your local mom-and-pop retailers on Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24.
Here's a list of hours for Stow businesses:
- There will be Black Friday deals from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 23.
- The store will open at midnight Thursday and it will continue to have deals until midnight Friday. Kohl's also launched a "Dream Receipt" program, picking up the tab for one winner every day from Nov. 23 – Dec. 24, in every store and at Kohls.com. A Kohl's shopper will be picked at random every day in every one of Kohl's 1,146 stores across the country and on Kohls.com.
- Deals will begin at midnight Thanksgiving night.
- Snag deals at the craft store from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday.
- The store opens at 3 a.m. Friday.
- Get deals on your beauty needs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday.
- The store will have its regular hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. but it is offering a deal right now that if you spend $50 you get 20 percent off your purchase.
What other Stow stores would you like added to this list?

Nairobi, Kenya - Polio has infected a four-year-old girl in northern Kenya in the country's first case of the disease since 2006, the government said on Wednesday.
The girl is believed to have contracted the virus from neighbouring southern Sudan, which has struggled to improve its health sector since a 2005 peace deal ended a two-decade civil war.
Shahnaaz Sharif, Kenya's director of public health and sanitation, said a vaccination campaign would begin in the area on March 7 and would aim to immunise more than 95 000 children.
Youngsters under three are most at risk from the disease, which can cause irreversible paralysis. Vaccines have eliminated the virus as a public health threat in most parts of the world. - Reuters

Paying for Nature's Services: a new frontier for companies |
In 2010, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) released a study entitled the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB). The study concluded that the world is losing between US$2 trillion and US$4.5 trillion worth of natural capital each year as a result of urban development, land change, resource consumption, pollution, and climate change.1 Roughly 60 to 70 percent of the world's ecosystem functions are degrading faster than they can recover.2 The reliable flow of economically viable ecosystem services – such as timber regeneration, crop pollination, pest and disease control, and water filtration – that businesses and economies depend upon is increasingly threatened.
Financial markets and business managers have not historically accounted for the true cost of natural capital assets in traditional decision making analysis, primarily because such assets are either not priced, or because the price is set artificially low by governments that act as their stewards.

| Happy White Day! ( 14/3)
In Japan, Valentine's Day is observed by females who present chocolate gifts, usually to a male, as an expression of love, courtesy or social obligation. A handmade chocolate is usually preferred by the receiver, because it is a sign that the receiving male is the girl's "only one". On White Day, the converse happens: males who received a honmei-choco "chocolate of love") or giri-choco "courtesy chocolate") on Valentine's Day are expected to return the favor by giving gifts. From Wikipedia So happy white day! |

A Solution to Lost Early Childhood Opportunities in Mississippi?
Hechinger Report
JeMira Nichols entered kindergarten in this sleepy Delta town way ahead of her classmates. She knew colors, letters and numbers. She spoke in full sentences. She could discuss books comfortably. Until she started school in August, JeMira spent nine hours each week day at Little Angels Day Care, a well-equipped one-story center that participates in a largely privately funded school-readiness program called Mississippi Building Blocks.

A new public information coordinator is putting her passion into action at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in a role that combines her love of education, writing and working with the media. Kathy McAdams took the new position this month, replacing Bill Snyder, who recently became the colleges full-time sports information director. McAdams is educated in the English language and history, and shes honed her skills as a people person, thanks to careers in teaching and journalism. Since November 2006, she has worked as project and marketing manager for Gulf Coasts Community Campus.
McAdams career at Gulf Coast actually began in 2005, when she came on as an adjunct language-arts instructor at the Jefferson Davis Campus in Gulfport. She continues to balance adjunct teaching online and in the traditional classroom with her full-time day job. A state-certified online instructor for Mississippi Virtual Community College, she taught English in Harrison County School from 1992 to 2000. Being a college instructor, however, has exposed her to the subjects she frequently interviews for articles.
I think that by teaching I remain in touch with the students and their interests, she said. I love young people and like to hear whats going on in their heads. I already identify with our non-traditional students since Im a single mother who went back to school. And I really believe that is what allows us to be such a top-ranked, successful college we always keep the students and the community at the forefront when we are planning and setting goals. It makes this a great place to work and a great place to get an education.
McAdams holds a masters degree in English curriculum and instruction from The University of Southern Mississippi and a bachelors degree in journalism from The University of South Alabama. From January to November 2006, McAdams worked in the Institutional Relations department as part-time public affairs assistant. Im thrilled to be at this college. Ive wanted to work here since moving back to Mississippi in the early 90s, she said.
Of course, with any new employee come new goals. McAdams hopes to connect experts from the college with the media to serve as resources for local reporters. I think the first step toward doing this is to talk to media representatives about their needs, she said. She also thinks putting those experts on the speaking circuit would benefit the community.
McAdams plans to have a strong presence at Gulf Coasts eight campuses and centers in George, Harrison, Jackson and Stone counties. I want to get to know our people and encourage them to call me with story ideas or events that need promoting. Accessible is my keyword for folks at the college and with the media, she said.
For the last 10 years, McAdams has lived in west Stone County, but has remained a member of Woolmarket Baptist Church. Another constant in her life is family support. My family is great. While Im doing whatever high-wire act Ive chosen to tackle, they remain my safety net. It allows me to try things I wouldnt ordinarily be willing to try.
McAdams has a 17-year-old daughter, Celeste. Her parents, Gulfport residents Tom and Willie Daniels, continue to be a vital part of her and her daughters lives. Her mother worked civil service at Keesler Air Force Base for 18 years and then taught high-school English for 22 years. Shes currently publishing her first novel, Sweet Beulah, which is expected to be in stores by early 2009. Her dad is a retired state trooper with the Mississippi Highway Patrol and a former Harrison County Justice Court judge. A retired chief warrant officer IV from the U.S. Army with more than 40 years of military experience, he currently serves as school-board president for the Harrison County School District. And her sister, Susan, is also part of the Gulf Coast family -- shes taught language arts at the Jefferson Davis Campus for more than 10 years.
Ive learned so much during my time at Gulf Coast and as a student at our JD Campus, McAdams said. Ive grown to appreciate the opportunities the college offers our community. Community colleges are Mississippi's best response to the educational demands of the 21st century. Thats the message I want our community to hear.

So by being polite and sensitive and kind, which is what I seem to be wired for, I am serving myself because I'm doing that which makes me feel good. Of course, it also would make others feel pretty good to be treated with kindness, sensitivity and good manners. Which brings us back to what someone else said about these labels essentially being artificial constructs in the first place. Either way, perhaps a 31-day trial is in order. 31 because 30-day trials are getting too trendy these days. 29 would be good, too. 2 + 9, you know... | |

re: Hitler -- obviously he was convinced (like any other dictator) that his actions were for the ultimate good. Maybe it's more a question of how much destruction do you plan to cause on your way to your "ultimate good"? Notice though, you could be causing destruction in one area while being a universal light in another. Are corporations (pretty much all of which are darkworking entities if you look at it from the perspective of getting as much as they can) also not lightworking when they fund a hospital elsewhere? Is it a way to truly serve or just to atone their non-existent conscience? Who are these people? Name some of them (not individuals necessarily, but something they are doing that is selfless). You know the 19 guys who slammed planes into the twin towers? Those guys were giving of themselves in a completely selfless act. What's more selfless than dying for your cause, regardless of what it is? Does that make them lightworkers? Hmm...maybe to those whose cause they were furthering, sure. |

I think the problem people have with polarity is that they understand on an intellectual level that both polarities are required in the universe so they find it hard to limit themselves to either polarity. At the same time I understand that a big part of power is that it's a directional force. The narrower the focus, the more energy is laser like. Otherwise it's dissipated and therefore not powerful. Something that should be emphasized is how the opposite polarity comes into play when you focus on one of the polarities. Because in the world you need both, by choosing a polarity you're just choosing your focus but the other polarity is still extremely important. For instance, darkworking a business means you're intending huge gains for yourself and your focus is creating an empire which expands your power and ability to enjoy yourself. However, a fundamental tenant of being successful in business is giving (lightworking), otherwise nobody's going to give you any cash!! So while you're focusing on building your riches, you also obviously have to focus on giving people what you want. Take blogging for instance. A darkworker wants to be successful for himself, he goes online to research being successful at blogging and finds out that you must focus on giving value that people enjoy in order to be successful. Therefore in order to maximise his results and achieve his dark desire, he has to focus on the opposite polarity or else he fails! But if he read the article on polarity he may be paralysed at this stage wondering if he should focus only on taking and therefore fail at his dark goal, or if he should focus on giving and possibly limit his power. This is the heart of the problem people have and leads to confusion and paralysis. Or from the other side, think about getting into a relationship. If you're a lightworker you want to make a big difference in giving. If you're a goodlooking, great person with many options, in pure lightworker sense then you should choose the most down and out, not-very-good-lookin person in order to make the biggest giving impact. You'd be like a winning lottery ticket for this person. But in order to give genuine affection you have to focus on your desires and what you WANT in a person (opposite polarity). If you think of Hitler, I believe he was a lightworker. He was not a selfish person, he was very inspirational, wanting to achieve what he thought was a divine plan for his country and he thought he was being led by God to do his work. To be of service to God, whether it's delusional or not, you have to have a humility and a sense of service. I don't think Hitler was a nice man. But I think he was a lightworker. Personally accoarding to the definitions I think I'm a darkworker. Because I only do things which feel good to me. I work to get money and enjoy myself. Because I work in a commission structured role, the better I do at my job (giving) the more money I get. Therefore I give a hell of a lot. And enjoy helping people, but because I enjoy the feelings from helping people and it makes me feel more worthwhile. If helping people made me feel crap, then I wouldn't do it. I enjoy making an impact in people's lives because it makes me feel good. Infact all my actions revolve on whether it feels good to me or not. But I don't resonate with how that makes me more like say Emperor Palpetine from Star Wars (reference to one of Steve's articles). And I don't resonate with how it comes from a place of fear or how it means you don't have loving relationships. You can have a direction inflow of love which is darkworking... and in order to get a big directional inflow of love, other people are going to have to love what you're giving! As you can see I'm not disagreeing with Steve, just drawing attention to things I believe should be emphasized. Last edited by Lionman; 08-29-2010 at 04:23 PM. |

I really think so far in human history I can only think of Jesus. To me he seems like the only person who went about his life just serving and not caring if people praised him, called him names, or whatever (that is if you believe in a historical Jesus). At no point did he say, yay, look at me, I feel so fulfilled after creating all these miracles and healing all these people, lol. Somebody should even pay me as this is such a valuable service I'm providing to humanity, I mean, do you expect me to just pay my rent from the furniture my dad and I make? tee hee. | |

The difference between you Lionman, and someone that might see themselves as a born and bred lightworker, is that you have the chutzpah to face your selfishness, and admit your service to it. Most people would rather pretend they aren't serving themselves, even as they purchase huge mansions and go for the partner that is going to love them selflessly(??). But now, if seeing other people feel good makes you feel good, and you serve their needs meanwhile, doesn't that just make you a darkworker that is lightworking? | |

I think whats important is the journey you take when you fully commit to one side. After all none of this is actually real and in the end you end up in the same place anyway. I feel like because of the way Steve writes many people have come to think that darkworkers are this evil creatures hell bent on destroying everything in their path for personal gain while lightworkers are the heroes that come in to save the day and get the hot girl. Lionman's post is an interesting way to think about this better. |

| Who am I? Who are you?
Light or dark - hmm, interesting. I've always found it fascinating how we partner. Often a total giver gets together with a total taker. The result is frequently lots of complaining about the other - failing to recognize we choose. I'm all about personal growth and it's amazing to me how common it is these days to see putdowns of "selfishness", as if it's not cool to want anything for yourself. An example: Unless you take care of yourself you have nothing to give others. Can we frame it as it's cool to take care of yourself and have fun, even passion, aside from what we have to give others? It seems like a continuation of a christian ethic that implies it's bad to experience pleasure or joy and that's we're "sinful" at our core and don't deserve to feel good. Hello! I'm here to want! A flow of giving and receiving is a good life, from where I stand. As Pia Melody said: Hug your demons or they'll bite you in the ass! I don't trust someone who is all giving and doesn't know how to receive. Nor do I admire someone who is all take and no give. As Steven points out, though, it requires conscious awareness to balance these seemingly opposites. I like to play with them. Happy playing! |

For me it doesn't make sense to sepperate the two. Light workers do everything they do because it makes them feel good, atleast that is the underlying intention. Why contribute? because your unconcious bubbles up good feelings when you do it! Why do drugs? The Same! For me there is no dark working or lightworking? Just doing what you want to do and creating what you want to create. I guess it boils down to if you believe in pure altruism. I don't, but I believe in empathy Whos with me on this? |

Perhaps that was his dying wish; I know that in life my choices from darkness caused him immense suffering. Whatever caused this sudden shift, I fought against it tooth and nail, but for whatever reason, I have been irrevocably drawn towards this very foreign path. I am still in the process of transition and suffer as homo duplex. | |

it was only really through your "integrating light and dark" post that i bothered to look deeper into darkworking, and asmoday's website has kept my eyes peeled for the past two days. there's something there i deeply resonate with. it would be exciting to see what could come up between the two of you sharing. | |

So we start non polarised, then polarise and then once again become non polarised. I understand the theory behind doing so, but wouldn't it be a lot easier if we just didnt polarise in the first place? |

Lightworking/Darkworking. Two different paths to get to somewhere else. What do you want? To create more this or that in your life? Be a lightworker! Be a darkworker! Join the Army/Airforce/Navy/Marines! Get somewhere do something! Or just quit at everything. Is one really better. I'm not doing anything. I have no aspirations. And I'm very quickly not getting anywhere with my life. Can I be a role model for a new team? How about we have lightworkers/darkworkers and mediocrityworkers. People who intend and put all their energy into contributing absolutely nothing to themselves or anyone else. The less that is being done the better. I make a horrible pawn for society though. I'm a failed pawn. Not trying to find a way to get anything or anywhere different. How does life feel to me? Like ecstatic joy all the time. For no reason. Why should I bother? Where is there to get to that would give me something better than I have now? First I'd have to at least learn to be slightly unhappy about something, so that I can know the other place to get to. But I'm not good at that. I'm the happy pig in the mud. |

But I see all this movement here. I'm doing this and that. And each movement has a motivation. A trying to get somewhere else. But then it seems the "not trying to get somewhere else" has become the somewhere else that I am currently not trying to get to. In the end there is something I like. I love to feel energized. I love to feel joyful. I love to feel vitalized and bright and alive. What in this moment leads me to the most joyful experience? Realizing that there is nothing else that I have to do, ever. What will be my most joyful experience next moment? I haven't the foggiest idea. | |

I think the problem with this whole lightworker vs. darkworker subject is that, in the end, it it's very subjective. I remember Steve said in his earlier articles on this matter that the difference between the light and darkworker is who/what benefits, the whole body (lightworking) or the individual cell (darkworking). The first problem that presents itself is this: Who is to decide who benefits? There isn't some objective entity that can say "this is benefiting the whole" or "this is ultimately only benefitting the single cell". And thus you regress into the religion kind of debate of right vs. wrong. Another problem is the result vs. intentions. What determines what you are? Your wants/desires of result or your actual results? And who is to say you will be able to determine all of your results anyway? (What if Hitler killed some people that, if not dead, would've killed more than he was responsible for? An outlandish example to be sure, but one can never know.) And what is the "whole" anyway? Is it the human race? Or is it the entire eco system? And who decides that? It clearly makes a difference. In one case saving a human could be considered lightworking, in the other, darkworking. We are, after all, killing the body, one could say. Another point you could make is that if every cell was a great darkworking, that would help the whole as well. Survival of the fittest leads to fitter whole (if those that are unfit are let to die). And thus you could say that helping weaker cells actually is a diservice to the whole. You are putting some of your energy in weaker cells so that they energy levels equal out. You get to be average as a whole. In the end, there are so many assumptions in this debate, it's almost impossible to agree on any of it. I think the value in this whole matter is this: Focusing your energy on a single point will increase your chances of a - in your eyes - favorable result. Be of single mind and purpose. All the jibber-jabber besides that point is just that. Steve might feel great about himself because he thinks he's on the path of light, but some people might see his as a darkworker because he is trying to help people at all. Who is to say what is light and what is dark? Who is to say what is served? |

Polarity has a long history. Lightworking and darkworking are new terms but the phenomenon they describe stretches back as far as history itself. While both paths have evolved one thing has remained constant: one is devoted to service, the other to the cultivation of self. Neither choice limits your actions but it colors everything you do. Can a darkworker be a paramedic? Yes, but why he's a paramedic is only known to him. In any role, good or evil, you'll find both lightworkers and darkworkers, but it takes keen eyes to see them. | |||||

Great post Illustro Cado (and cool site too, your writing is high quality!), thank you. I do have some remarks about your reply, though. You state that intentions determine if you are a light or darkworker, and so the subject itself has the final say. Yet you also state that Hitler was a lightworker. But we cannot know this, if he was the one deciding. He could say he was trying to help his people, or whoever he said he was helping, all the while knowing he was just gratifying his own desire for power. In that case he just saw an oppertunity to gain power by a certain rethoric, and did so. So to say that Hitler is a lightworker, would state that there is some sort of objective way of determining if someone is lightworker or darkworker. But intentions cannot be known (even your own might be hard to determine, on the most basic level). Now I see your point about intention to service, that being the objective way of measurement. But again to know for sure is almost impossible. What is the underlying motivation for service to others? And could these change in the process, like you said? You could start out wanting to help others, and then get addicted to their dependency on you. Perhaps you could differentiate between where someone is coming from, fear or love. Is he driven by fear (limit, not enoughness, etc.) and thus is out for himself or is he driven by love (abundance, acceptance) and trying to heal the whole. And perhaps this cannot be explained, only experienced. But to me it's just a lot of talk about nothing. There is no point in being one thing or the other. There is no reward, prize or whatever. What there is, is results. And to get them, aligning with your goal, is the way to go. And to integrate different ways that work into something that works even better, well that's just awesome. But polarizing? Just limiting yourself to a certain set of actions, that fit the label, to me just seems unnecessary and sillly. The mental stuff around it is fun to play with, but in the end, useless. Hitler was, just like everyone, a very complex being. One day he might think one thing, the next day something else. As far as his thoughts were in alignment, his focus was sharp and his results probably better than if they weren't. He wasn't light, he wasn't dark, he just was (or was he?). Sometimes he was afraid, sometimes he was not. Sometimes he felt on top of the world, other days he despised himself. Now I've not known him personally, I just know myself and I think that every human being is like this. Being. Changing. And in the end, we all have to accept who we are, what we do and where it stands in the world. In the end, we all have to try to convince ourselves we are lightworkers, of some sort. But we know so very little. And our primal parts (body, lizard brain) are so scared to die, and it's hard to tell where they begin and where they end. Ok, I'm just babbling now... point is: manifesting what you want is what you... well, want. But there is no score being kept. Just try to manifest what you want. And if you find a way to better manifest, go for it. But don't label it or drag some spiritual stuff into it. |

I call Hitler a lightworker because it's exceptionally clear that he acted on behalf of Germany. In the end he committed suicide to avoid bringing dishonor upon his country. This would be unthinkable to a darkworker. Is it iron-clad proof he was a lightworker? Dissecting details like that won't give a for-sure answer. There's a strong case for it, strong enough that I use him as a prime example of how light can be twisted. Desires change. Today I want to write, tomorrow I might volunteer, and the day after I might decide to travel. Motivations don't shift as easily. Indeed, someone whose motives shift day-to-day won't get very far in life. To be able to manage the complexity within yourself you need a strong, steady foundation. That's what polarization provides. A darkworker may well be philanthropic but it's not for the greater good or some nonsense ideal, it's because that's how he honors himself. A lightworker can do things which seem selfish because he can't serve without adequate energy and resources. In either case their core motivation remains constant while they act within a dynamic world. That's what gives them their power. On a final note I think describing polarity in terms of love and fear is ridiculous. Read Asmoday's site if you want another perspective; he's said nearly anything I could say on the matter, particularly What is a Darkworker? Last edited by Cado; 09-06-2010 at 02:57 PM. | |

Featuring THE BIRDLAND BIG BAND
Directed by TOMMY IGOE
Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 8 p.m.
Founded in New York City in 1949, Birdland is named after famed saxophone player Charlie "Bird" Parker. The list of musicians who have performed there throughout its illustrious history reads like a who's who of jazz. Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, and Lester Young are but a few of the many jazz greats who made Birdland their New York home. Featuring the Birdland Big Band directed by Tommy Igoe, Live at Birdland recreates the ambience and experience of a night at the legendary club. The show features fresh treatments of iconic Charlie Parker compositions and innovative arrangements from contemporary composers such as Chick Corea, Arturo Sandoval, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Lennon/McCartney, and Leonard Bernstein. The Birdland Big Band also maintains a rare selection of renowned pieces from the Buddy Rich, Count Basie, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman orchestras. Audiences will be entertained with an unforgettable night of music that goes beyond the traditional and sets the standard for the 21st century jazz orchestra.
Tickets are $30 Regular, $28 Seniors and Students

Justin Bieber's Addicted To Drop-Crotch Pants; Anna Wintour's Crush on Ben Stiller
And, brace yourselves: there's more Kardashian fashion on the way.
What's With The Drop-Crotch? So Justin Bieber has totally bizarre taste in pants. The 18-year-old has shown recent affections towards pants that are cut with a crotch hanging down to his knees and fit as leggings pretty much everywhere else. Three years ago, fashion would have labeled these the new harem pant, but now that moment is over. Bieber's worn the signature silhouette in red leather, black cotton, grey jersey, and perhaps most offensively, white leather. To emphasize the style's exaggerated centerfold, he tends to tug at the crotch in performances—let's just attribute it to his experimental-prone age. [BuzzFeed Shift]
Grace Coddington Reveals Anna Wintour's Crushes: More excerpts from Grace Coddington's upcoming memoir were released in exclusive tidbits to the press over the weekend, and not only are they entertaining but they reveal new information about Vogue's editor in chief, Anna Wintour. On a couture shoot featuring Ben Stiller Coddington writes, "I think it was decided upon, really, because Anna had a crush on Ben. She gets these occasional crushes—Ben, Puff Daddy, Roger Federer." [Grazia UK]
Christopher Kane and Versus to Part Ways: Following Friday's speculation that Christopher Kane had been appointed as Nicolas Ghesquière's replacement at Balenciaga, now comes "coincidental" news that Kane is parting ways with his other gig at Versace. Kane will no longer design the house's lower-priced Versus line—which is sure to free up a lot of time in his schedule. Gian Giacomo, Versace's CEO, told WWD of the relationship, "evolved naturally and matured, so that this was the right moment and a logical decision for everyone. We started thinking about the new Versus months ago, before the summer." But did they? On Saturday morning, Kane denied that he was headed to Balenciaga, but this convenient timing is looking pretty fishy. [WWD]
Another Kardashian Fashion Line: Kardashian clan members Kendall and Kylie Jenner are designing a line of clothing for retailer PacSun that will hit stores this February. The line, titled Kendall and Kylie, will sell at the tween-appropriate range of $24.50 to $79.50. [WWD]
Did The Met Ruin Punk?

Welcome! Liturgical ministry is an excellent opportunity to fulfill your baptismal call of service to one another. Our liturgies utilize the talents and gifts that God has given this community to the fullest extent. Whether participation is through "behind the scenes" preparation and planning or through a public role of service within the Mass, parishioner contributions help our liturgies to be truly life-giving celebrations. Please prayerfully consider joining one of these ministries.
If you would like to consider learning more about, or joining the Liturgical Minister team, please click here to submit your information and one of our Liturgical Minister coordinators will contact you.
General Guidelines for Liturgical Ministers at Mass
1. Scheduling - The schedule for the Altar Servers, Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Hospitality Ushers and Greeters is prepared quarterly. You may serve in more than one ministry, however, you may only serve in one ministry at at any given Mass. Active ministers have password-access to the scheduling system which enables them to view their specific schedule, the full schedule of all ministers, as well as request substitutes for a given Mass and adjust their personal profile by making changes to their addresses, phone numbers, Mass preferences and dates they cannot minister. Those without computer or email access will have their quarterly schedules printed and available for pick up in the elevator lobby of the church usually two weeks before the current schedule ends. Access to the scheduling system may be found by clicking here. Remember, ministers will need their username and password to go beyond the first page.
2. Dress and Appearance - General appearance, apparel, and accessories worn during the liturgy should reflect the dignity of the role of one called upon to assist in the sacred liturgy. Accordingly, liturgical ministers should dress nicely and modestly. The following dress code has been established for all Liturgical Ministers:
Liturgical Minister Dress Code
The established Dress Code is that of acceptable attire as would be found in a business setting, i.e, Business Casual. This would mean for gentlemen dress slacks and a polo-style collar shirt, button shirt, sweater.For ladies this would mean slacks (full length), dress, skirt (not mini), blouse and/or sweater (not low cut).
The original Dress Code was amended, and that amendment eliminated the requirement of suit and/or coat and tie for the gentlemen; dress, dress skirt, dress slacks, blazer for the ladies. While the amendment eliminated these particular articles of clothing as a requirement, it did not state that these were not acceptable, rather, it was understood these would still be the preferred attire. Dress sandals were also accepted as an approved style of shoe for ladies, though not necessarily preferred.
Nothing a minister wears should distract from the community's prayer. Proper dress and appearance whenever one attends liturgy is an important commitment of a liturgical minister. All ministers will maintain a level of reverence and decorum in their Liturgical Minister's attire or they will not be allowed to minister.

"Can't Stop a Trane"
Purchased a Trane A/C unit used back in 1980. Paid $300 for it, the tubing and the coil. After the installer returned the next day to install a filter drier it worked great for 30 years. This past summer it developed a small leak. I've never had a previous service call. I'm looking to upgrade with a high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. After reading lots of the reviews on all the different makes I'm afraid to take out my old Trane.

The biggest complaints I see all go back to one main problem: YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU BOUGHT! 1) Don't just read reviews - get the facts on what the system can and cannot do. That comes from the manufacturer. 2) Pick the right contractor. Most states have a Registry for Licensed Contractors. Check their records for complaints. Interview them carefully. You need this person to install it right. A high percentage of complaints are NOT because of "a junk piece of equipment" BUT are attributed to poor install! 3) Learn about what you are buying. Get a basic education in how and why they work. You don't need to run out and get a HVAC Refrigerant Handlers certification. You do NEED to know about the system in general. 4) Have the contractor do a flow study to make sure you have the correct duct and intake size. Proper sizing of the package is what save money. The biggest $$$ occurs when the system initially starts its cycle. Over-cycling is where you lose money! 5) Use the correct filters!! Improper filters (which only only run about $8-$10) can cause a variable speed system to blow up. The term is "volumetric efficiency". If it can't breathe in ... it can't put out. When I read a complaint I can usually see where the person made the mistake. The paid big bucks for repairs = you didn't buy the extended warranty. If the extended warranty wasn't available = you're buying "contractor grade" that doesn't qualify for it. They won't stand behind it = you chose the wrong contractor. I've only had 1 problem with my last Trane. It occurred about 9 years into the life. Repairs were covered 100%. Was I inconvenienced? Yep - It was 110 degrees and I was without AC for about 8 hours. Would I recommend a Trane? - Yep. Getting ready to install another within the month. Just remember - its your money - spend it wisely!

Had two XL12's installed in new house 20 years ago now. They have been great, efficient and reliable units. One is very quiet while the other is somewhat noisy. Never have figured out why - can only assume one has a non-fatal problem with the compressor. Have heard the newer low end units are not the same quality, but these units are great.

"Still Works after 21 years"
Our trane air conditioner that came with our house was installed in April 1988, it's a Trane XL1200 air conditioner which is a 12 seer, it is extremely cheap to operate and we use the a/c all the time in the summer, and it still works extremely well, just like a new air conditoner, highly recommend trane air conditioners

"Bad coil"
After just 3 1/2 years I am replacing the coil in my AC unit which is just 3 1/2 years old. The first service call with the addition of freon cost $335.00. After ordering a new coil (under warranty) labor and start up cost another $450.00. Trane is now the last one on my list a being reliable.

"Train Units"
I am a general contractor in South Louisiana, I built 198 homes in 2007, and I used 2 different A/C contractors to install my A/C units. One of them installs Luxair and the other installs Trane. I have run the numbers and I have had a 54% warranty call on the luxair and only 7% on the Trane. Granted that the installers make a huge difference of the efficiency of the unit and to be sure it is sized correct for the space it is cooling or heating. Make sure the installers run a J manual on your house before they sale you a unit. The Train install are great installer and I challenge them. One of the biggest things to look for is air leaks and to make sure your system is charged correctly. My installers tell me that Trane recommends they weigh the 410A coolant instead of just using gauges. If I had to get a unit installed it would be a Trane...

Our new Trane Central A/C is extremely quiet and reliable. The installation technicians from Jim's Heating and Air Conditioning of Hainesport, NJ came highly recommended on the website Consumer's Checkbook.com, and with due cause. They knew what they were doing, were thorough, uniformed, tested the installation, and cleaned up afterwards. Our electric bills are unbelievably low, we were surprised. The pricing was most fair and the warranty excellent.

In my controller, I have a simple

<c:forEach var="usr" items="${users}" >
<option value="<c:out value="${usr.firstname}"/>">
<c:out value="${usr.firstname}" /></option>
However, I don't seem to be able to access any of these values put there in the Controller. I did check in the Controller and the values are indeed populated as a Set there.
Also, I added two objects to in the controller so I'm not sure if this is a problem:

Any suggestions about why I'm not able to access the "users" object in the JSP would be highly welcomed!

Why Hanna?
Hanna Boys Center is based on the three core values formulated in 1945: faith, education and caring. "Faith" means that we believe there is a God who can guide and care for us if we let Him. At Hanna, this translates into the daily rituals of grace before meals, morning and evening prayers, Sunday services and a campus ministry program. "Education" means the absolute importance of learning how to feed the brain for the rest of our lives.
Father O'Connor, the first director of Hanna Boys Center, would not open our doors until he had secured the services of the teaching Sisters of St. Francis from Milwaukee. During HBC's first years, education was focused on a middle school with fourth- through eighth-grades and a scattering of ninth- and 10th-grade curricula. As more older boys applied and were accepted as students, we evolved into a full high school in 1985. Full accreditation came in 2006. Our youngest boy now is in eighth grade.
With very few exceptions, all our students attend our school, where they experience the benefits of small class size and the individual attention they want and need. "Caring" means learning how to live together with peers and adults, practicing respect, sharing and compromise. Through all these years, the school has been blessed with dedicated teachers and staff. We are always exploring possibilities for our boys. Currently, this includes enhancing the school's technology program and expanding opportunities in the trades.
The residential setting enjoyed by Hanna boys ensures that education in one form or another goes on all hours of the day, every day of the week. But the specifically "school" part of that education has come to occupy a steadily more significant role over the years, exemplified by the change in 2006 from "Hanna Boys Center School" to "Archbishop Hanna High School." The change was not merely cosmetic. The name change meant we were fully accredited for seventh through 12th grade for the first time.
Principal Dennis Crandall migrated to Hanna in 2004 after a 30-year career at Cardinal Newman High School in Santa Rosa. Crandall's move represented yet another step in the transformation of Hanna from a low key, mostly primary school-based operation to a full-fledged high school.
The boys kept getting older, and we began to see that they would benefit from staying on campus to better integrate their home and school life. So we set out to do just that by stepping up our educational program.
Hanna graduated just two boys from our own school the year I started at Hanna. This past school year, we graduated 26 seniors and promoted 13 eighth-graders to high school. We'll have more than 100 students in the upcoming year, with 17 full-time teachers and an increasing emphasis on college prep classes that meet UC guidelines. A lot of people thought that was too ambitious. But our message to our boys is, "Push beyond your limits. The efforts always pay off." And they have. We are really on the move here.

HUERFANO COUNTY, COLO. -- Colorado State troopers said one man died in a crash on Highway 69 near Gardner Sunday afternoon.
Troopers said the crash happened around 2:05 p.m. when a Dodge Ram pickup truck pulling a camping trailer tried to pass a Toyota pickup truck.
Both trucks were going north on the highway. The Toyota's driver, 60-year-old Randall Dressler from Gardner, slowed down to make a left hand turn into a private driveway. The Ram's driver, 62-year-old Richard Garrett of Grand Junction, was driving behind Dressler and tried to pass him in the southbound lane. His truck hit Dessler's truck, causing it to roll off the road.
Dressler died at the scene.
Garrett's truck did not roll, and he was not seriously injured.
Troopers said drugs and alcohol did not contribute to the crash, and they have not charged Garrett in the incident.

Australia's Fight for Same-Sex Marriage
I'm not really too clear on Australian politics, but I understood enough to get the gist of what's going on in Australia right now. A couple of days ago, there was a huge conscience vote to support same-sex marriage across the nation. The vote swung, for the first time, away from a long-time opposition to same-sex marriage.In my understanding, what this means is that same-sex marriage isn't yet completely legalized. There are some states in Australia that do already grant the right and some that also allow civil unions. If and when Australia as a whole legalizes same-sex marriage, it will be an enormous win for the LGBTQ community around the globe.
Perhaps Australia will soon join countries like The Netherlands (the first nation to legalize same-sex marriage back in 2001). Other countries that recognize same-sex marriage are Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, and Argentina. In the U.S., only 6 out of 50 states (not including DC, which does recognize) have legalized same-sex marriage. If you support it and you don't live in DC, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, New York, Vermont, or New Hampshire, do what you can to help the LGBTQ community in your state.
It isn't a secret that same-sex marriage is an enormously popular topic of discussion around the world. It is, apparently, a secret that people in same-sex relationships are just as likely (if not more likely) to pursue long and happy relationships and families.
If you support it, let yourself be heard. If you don't, perhaps it's time you recognize that legalizing same-sex marriage has no direct effect on you. Just because the legal drinking age in the US is 21 doesn't mean that everyone over the age of 21 has to consume alcohol. Think about it.
Do you support same-sex marriage? What will you do to help the LGBTQ community? Do you think Australia will soon legalize as a nation?

Polaris by Mark Ford. Marimba Solo - Unaccompanied. For marimba solo (marimba). Level 5. Book. Composed 1996. Duration 9 minutes, 30 seconds. Published by Innovative Percussion (IP.S-MF-POL).
"Mark Ford has distinguished himself as a scholar, as a performer and as the composer of popular percussion works such as Head Talk and Stubernic. In Polaris, Ford delivers another winning composition. Polaris is an unaccompanied one-movement composition requiring the use of a 4 1/2- octave (low-F) marimba. Mainly in 7/8 time, Polaris is in rondo form utilizing two ostinato patterns to help unify the work. The work opens with a brief chorale setting. The intervals between the notes of the chords used in this section become the foundation of much of the melodic material to come. Polaris proceeds into a fast, driving pattern-oriented tour de force for advanced four-mallet marimbists. Beginning subtly, the ostinato patterns are established, the melodic material presented and eventually developed. The work is primarily of a tonal nature, in minor modes, but does employ a recurring melodic motive of a perfect fourth to a minor second to another perfect fourth. This motive is also material for development. Adding interest as the work progresses, the melody shifts from one voice to another and reappears in thirds and sixths. Rhythmically, Polaris incorporates much constant 16th-note material with sections of syncopated motives. Approximately 9 1/2 minutes in length, Polaris possesses a substantial amount of interesting melodic, harmonic and rhythmic material. This composition not only will challenge the marimbist, but will satisfy performers and audiences alike. Rightfully so, I expect Polaris will find its way to a variety of percussion recitals." - Rich Holly Percussive Notes, April 1997.

Wallin describes this piece as two streams of sound, both emerging from the same physical substance (wood) but still slightly different: The bright and the hard verses the dark and the soft. Two streams twisting and twining, seperating and merging, opposing and carresing. Two streams living their own lives, but still influenced by the other. Work for Xylophone and Marimba, commissioned by Danish Radio.

Choral part-writing is very accessible, and optional vocal solos are featured on some carols. The work may be performed with a full orchestra, a smaller ensemble, or a fully orchestrated Accompaniment CD.

Mount Ngauruhoe
Australasia, New Zealand No Comments »Have you watched Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy? I bet most of us have. Do you still remember Mount Doom, a fictional volcano located in the black land of Mordor? Well, Ngauruhoe Volcano was used as a stand in for Mount Doom back then.
Mount Ngauruhoe is an active stratovolcano located in North Island, New Zealand and is approximately 25 kilometers to the south of Lake Taupo. It stands at 2,291 meters above the sea level and is one of the youngest volcanoes in the Mount Tongariro volcanic complex. The name Ngauruhoe is believed to be derived from Maori language Nga Uru Hoe which literally means "throwing heated stones".
Mount Ngauruhoe is located within the Tongariro National Park, which is the oldest national park in New Zealand as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990. Hiking and climbing are popular activities in the national park during summer while skiing and snowboarding are popular during the winter. Some of the most popular tracks among worldwide trekkers in Tongariro National Park are the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the Tongariro Northern Circuit. The track passes active volcanoes of Tongariro and Ngauruhoe and side trips to the summit of both volcanoes can be arranged.

Mez looks ready; Couturier misses practice
The Philadelphia Inquirer Blog - Flyers Report: Broad Street Bull
Mez looks ready; Couturier misses practice
Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
Based on Saturday's practice in Voorhees, it appears defenseman Andrej Meszaros will return to the lineup Sunday night in New Jersey, and that center Sean Couturier will sit out the game.
Meszaros was paired with Andreas Lilja for most of Saturday's practice; he sometimes was with Erik Gustafsson.
It appears Meszaros will be with Lilja, and that Gustafsson will be a healthy scratch.
Meszaros hasn't played since March 1; he had back surgery on March 21.
After practice, Meszaros would not say whether he is playing.
"You want to be out there," Meszaros said. "....But I've got a lot of years ahead of me, and it's a tough decision."
Couturier injured his leg in Thursday''s 4-3 OT loss. He skated for a few minutes before practice Saturday, but was not with the team at practice.
Coach Peter Laviolette juggled the lines at Saturday's session. Afterward, he said not to put much stock into them. Here is how they looked:
- shanehockey28
- dman74
- farley
- FlyerAdam30
- plowboy7250
- kadhia
- Fabulous
- quigly46
- eagle1971
- Diamond Jim Brady
- flyerdommo
- sammydelphia
- Lavy is a joke...how can you play Lilja...how? He is awful slow and can't pass. This is why we are losing, b/c Lavy's adjustments are atrocious. He was slow in the Boston series to match up with Krejci's line, he is getting hammered by the Devils forecheck and we have zero adjustments...his line changes have cost us two games....I'm at a loss on why this guy does not get more scrutiny...b/c he calls a timeout in the 1st period? He's done an above average job with the rookies, but his preparation and in game strategies are awful...plain and simple. Someone please explain to me that I'm off base, b/c I want to root for the guy.

Brussels, 21 January 2008
"Today it is clear to everyone that energy efficiency and greater use of renewable energy sources are the main response to climate change and alleviate the risks of Europe's energy import dependency. But we can be successful in tackling climate change only when we manage to bring together all stakeholders and increase real citizen participation - this is what Sustainable Energy Week is all about," said European Commissioner for Energy Andris Piebalgs.
The EU sustainable Energy week will follow the adoption on 23 January by the Commission of an ambitious set of measures responding to the challenges of climate change and reiterating Europe's role in assuming leadership towards reaching a low carbon society.
With its second edition, the EU Sustainable Energy Week will address key strategies and stakeholders' initiatives for a more sustainable future, covering the new EU energy policy package, intelligent technologies and a less energy-consuming lifestyle, transport and urban mobility, carbon capture and storage, energy performance of buildings and appliances, photovoltaic technologies, cogeneration, international cooperation, and much more.
One of the many highlights of the week will be on 28 January when representatives of the EU, of big retail companies, of certain utilities and light bulb producers[1], in the presence of the Commissioner, will sign an agreement to facilitate the distribution of several dozen million energy efficient light bulbs throughout Europe. On 29 January Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs together with representatives of European cities will endorse the start of the Covenant of Mayors.
There is a formal commitment by the cities to reduce their CO2 emissions beyond the EU 20% objective. Almost 100 cities throughout Europe, including 15 capitals, have expressed their willingness to join this initiative.
The European Sustainable Energy Week is organised by the Commission under the umbrella of the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign (SEE).

Gee to freshmen: Make each day count
Published: Monday, September 20, 2010
Updated: Saturday, June 16, 2012 00:06
President E. Gordon Gee officially welcomed about 7,000 freshmen and transfer students to Ohio State on Monday morning at the annual President's Convocation at St. John Arena.
Students filling the arena floor and surrounding seats were confronted by a sea of scarlet and gray from the Men's Glee Club and the marching band. O-H-I-O chants reverberated throughout the arena and culminated in an eruption of applause. But a calm came over the crowd when speakers delivered the main message of the program: get involved, seize the day and make the most of the next four years — or five.
Students received this advice from seven speakers, led by Gee, to focus on the importance of getting involved. He stressed the need for students to test themselves by being adventurous and taking advantage of opportunities, including internships and study abroad.
"Make the most of this time; it will not come again … make each day count," Gee said. "This is the place to expand your horizons to any and all opportunities."
Aside from his ability to cause an earthquake of laughter with his top-10 rookie mistakes, wisecracks about opposing athletic teams and a list of obscure items found in Mirror Lake, Gee impressed students with his overall presence.
"I think this is something really unique," said first-year Katherine O'Hara. "He seems to do a lot with the university, and it's cool to be this close to him in person."
Echoing Gee's comments to first-years, Undergraduate Student Government President Micah Kamrass encouraged students to experience all that the university has to offer.
"I hope that you will see that this university is a university of endless opportunity," he said.
Other speakers at the ceremony included Mabel Freeman, assistant vice president of Undergraduate Admissions and First Year Experience Freeman; Javaune Adams-Gaston, vice president for the Office of Student Life; Joseph A. Alutto, executive vice president and provost; Richard Shiels, associate professor in the Department of History at Newark; and surprise guest Archie Griffin.
Before the event, Freeman said, "I've always thought Convocation is really a mixture of focusing on traditions, academic messages, and the spirit and goodwill of the university, and I think people will hear that."
Students learned tradition by experiencing their first college processional and participating in OSU's alma mater, "Carmen Ohio." Attendees eagerly received an envelope containing a scarlet and gray tassel, a constant reminder of why they are here, and a Block O pin to symbolize OSU's excellence and tradition.
"I'm really excited," said first-year Jaclyn Mowery. "It's just really exciting to be here with everyone."

The primary area of activity is the Permian Basin of west Texas and New Mexico, with particular emphasis on the Eastern Shelf of the Midland Basin and the Deep Delaware Basin.
Internationally, this first hand knowledge includes North Africa (Libya) and the eastern Mediterranean (Israel). Ed L. Dillon, is a professional geologist with over 45 years of sucessful oil and gas exploration experience.
In 1987 Ed L. Dillon began developing a series of maps showing the structure of the Middle Permian along the Eastern Shelf using data acquired from over 2,400 stratigraphic tests combined with correlations from wildcat and development well logs over the same area. Deeper structures and reefs are reflected in the overlying Middle Permian throughout the Eastern Shelf. As a result, these maps are invaluable in originating new plays, planning exploration programs, correcting seismic data for velocity variations in the upper Permian, and as a factor in evaluating the probability of a seismic or subsurface prospect being present before drilling. The maps are an excellent tool for selecting areas for new "3-D" seismic exploration programs. Concurrent with the compleation of the Middle Permian Basin mapping project ESP prepared a set of Siluro-Devonian structure maps covering the deeper Delaware Basin, and incorporating data from some 2,200 miles of CDP seismic. These maps are used for both prospect generation and evaluation in this basin.
Eastern Shelf Exploration services include prospect generation, the review of outside generated prospects, recommendations concerning exploration programs, and geological consulting.

I was chatting recently with Michael Vincent, an IPv6 savvy colleague, about worldwide IPv6 adoption, which despite the considerable press around World IPv6 Launch, is progressing at a snail's pace. We lamented that while World IPv6 Launch provided great publicity around IPv4 exhaustion and the need for IPv6, the focus of IPv6 launch was on IPv6 deployment for the Internet supply side, i.e., websites. It's absolutely wonderful that so many organizations have enabled IPv6 on their websites, but where are the IPv6 users, or the demand side?
As IPv4 addresses dwindle in supply, service providers will ultimately need to begin assigning IPv6 addresses to their mobile and broadband subscribers. Nevertheless despite a growing number of IPv6 Internet users, these users will expect and demand ubiquitous Internet access, which requires connectivity to IPv6 and IPv4 websites. Therefore, each service provider will need to accommodate this customer requirement by either assigning both an IPv6 and an IPv4 address in a dual stack configuration, at least until IPv4 addresses run out, or by deploying address translators within their networks to convert IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets to reach IPv4 destinations.

Sack the thug and kick him out the game - we dont need that type of attitude in rugby!
Posted 09:24 26th March 2012
I've seen the youtube version of this and knowing the outcome makes the offence look much worse than it would not knowing. So I will not be casting any stones.
Lets not forget that biting a finger is foul play, this is something much more serious and, if proven as deliberate, there must be an argument for civil action (thinking of Rougerie Vs Greening) or even criminal.
May be a career-ending ban.
I see that Northampton have suspended the guy "until further notice" which sounds like the prelude to a sacking.
Let's also spare a thought for Hawkins, this sort of injury could knacker the career of a hooker. Wish him well
Posted 11:27 23rd March 2012
I can't see why this isn't bigger news, he actually deliberately broke someones arm! It's the worst thing I've ever seen by a long way and I think he should face criminal charges and I normally would be dead against that. He badly injured a Hawkins who was in a helpless position and now that bloke will miss games, he was trying to get a new contract which together in a worst case scenario may lead to him eventually dropping out of top flight rugby.
Posted 20:08 22nd March 2012
It sickens me to watch. I cannot think of any mitigating circumstances for this, nor any excuse. There's a massive difference between hard rugby and this. And a massive difference between a couple of handbags and this sort of thing.
However, with my "innocent until proven guilty" hat on, I will with-hold further comment.
Posted 13:55 22nd March 2012
NHsaints there's videos all over the net if you google it. He basically grabs his arm after the whistle is blown, and wraps his arms around his arm, and then rolls it back with all his strength - basically until it breaks, and then quickly rolls away and walks away from the ruck. All of this was AFTER the whistle was blown.
Posted 10:15 22nd March 2012
The video is damning. Very spiteful and he's got previous for foul play throughout the age groups. I think you have to sling the book at him just so that he realises his responsibilies towards the opposing team.
How many times have we seen the oposition shout at the ref to stop the game after a injury and then turn the injured player onto his side and look after him? thats how you need to behave towards your oponent. Its part of the rugby code.
What Clarke has done is the exact opposite.
He's young enough to come back to rugby after a lengthy ban if he wants to. The rfu needs to send the right mesage to him and other youngsters. I'd hit him with a 24 month ban at the very least. his disregard for the guys in the different coloured jerseys is almost sociopathic. How can you think that deliberatley breaking another man's elbow is acceptable?

Underhand play - this lad plays with too much emotion week in and week out - ever seen him on the pitch when a decison goes against him - like a petulant child? Still could be loking at a lengthy spell on the sidelines if proven guilty!

The manoevre is a seated arm bar. In MMA, this would be applied in a measured way so as to give the opponent an opportunity to "tap-out". There is an awareness of the technique so the victim is not unsuspecting. Therefore few of these injuries are seen in martial arts. Cowardly in the extreme.
The mechanism of hyper-extension against a lever ruptures the anterior capsule of the elbow and this major stabilizer fails, with the result usually with an elbow dislocation rather than a fracture. It could potentially be a career ending injury..
The probability is against this manoevre being unintended or opportunistic. Technique is crucial. An aggravating factor is that it is after the whistle.
The nibble on Ferris's finger is child's play in comparison. The loss of an eye would merit a lifetime ban. So in this saga: a year to eighteen months. Ammo for a court case too if it was my elbow.

This was a bad example of foul play. Totally unjustified.
Bad for the club, bad for the game and bad for Hawkins. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

I finally saw the video regarding this citation...regardless of Clark's past history (which apparently includes headbutting), there's simply no place for this MMA-esque armbar in the sport of rugby, and he needs to be punished accordingly. Here's hoping for a quick recovery for Hawkins.

Slightly confused how he's done that? What did he do? Armlock him?

this guy is a disgrace... he should recieve at LEAST a 12 month ban for this.

What this article fails to mention is that Rob Hawkins now has a fractured elbow. His season is now over so I hope mr Clark is proud of himself!

I was thinking about the decline of Mtv as well as George Michael, and this video comes to mind.
mmmmmm...Super yummy George! Good Luck, You deserve to win the VMA George!
One of George Michael's best. Too bad its about coming out of the closet. *sigh* Oooo how I loved that man soooo much.
Just how great this video is can be seen by how timeless it is. It looks like it could have been filmed in 2008. Look at any other video from 1990 and see how dated it looks compared to this, check out how the models look, compared to the girls in other old vids. I think this is one of the best videos of all time!
call me Mr. Michael ("Call me George")
Classic, beautiful video. Great music and visuals. He is wonderful!
Oh Yah!

The goal of the collaborative is to gain a broader geographic and population base to improve clinical outcomes while reducing costs. "A collaborative allows us to create both scale and efficiency without the same debt and integration challenges that come with expansion or acquisition," says Gregory Hurst, president and interim COO at Piedmont.
The delivery systems will create a board for the collaborative, members of which will include a chair, the CEO or COO of both systems and two more members from each system.
