Make history. Or go home.
It's a simple but daunting task for Belvidere, which will only make the playoffs for the third year in a row (and 24th time in 29 years) if it snaps Boylan's 73-game conference winning streak tomorrow.
Belvidere (4-4) opened the season with an impressive 34-14 drubbing of Belvidere North — a team that beat Hononegah and led Boylan until the final minute last week — but lost four games in a row in the middle of the season before winning its last two.
"For our kids, this is the third week of the playoffs," coach Chuck Leonard said. "We dug ourselves a hole early in the season and let a couple of games slip away from us that we feel we should have pulled out. We told our kids three weeks ago we had to run the table to get in. Our kids played well against Freeport and East. Now we have the biggest and best coming at us Friday night, but our kids are excited about the opportunity."
Boylan also seemed to be letting games slip away. The Titans led Auburn by only two points until the last five minutes of their season opener. Fell three touchdowns behind Hononegah before winning in the final seconds. And blew a 24-point lead last week to twice trail Belvidere North in the fourth quarter before converting a fourth-and-8 and then scoring the winning TD with just over a minute to play.
"Boylan is right where everybody in the conference wants to get," Leonard said. "The athletes at Boylan expect to win every game. They never panicked against North. They never panicked against Hononegah. They believed they were going to somehow find a way to win. That's where every coach is trying to get."
"That's one way of looking at it," Boylan coach John Cacciatore said. "If you call those tight situations tests, we have passed a great deal of them. If we have those situations in the playoffs, the kids will have it in the back of their minds that if it comes down to one play, we can execute it. That's a plus. but I don't like that we dug ourselves into those situations."
Belvidere's hopes hinge greatly on Maurice Jackson (771 yards rushing, 370 receiving) and Garrett Hyser, who has passed for a school-record 1,462 yards. North rallied against Boylan last week with 378 passing yards.
"Garrett has been great for us all year," Leonard said. "He'll make a terrible throw, come to the sideline and say, 'That's on me. That won't happen again.' He then comes out the next series to throw a pass 30 yards down the field right between two defenders on the money. He's been better than I ever could have expected."

TRAINING: We start practice every morning at 9 am at Fiore MMA. We drill, we lift, we condition, we swim, we do pad work, and usually end the majority of each session with live go's from all angles of the mat. During our afternoon practices, depending on the day, we'll spar and grapple very competitively. Most evenings I join our Gracie Humaita jiu-jitsu program with Coach Mark Commean. We end every week with a very competitive combat gear session.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I had my first amateur fight just a few weeks prior to returning to my second season of college football. I have competed my entire life, and once I found out what MMA was all about, I was addicted from the start. I am a guy who loves to work out and stay active, so MMA falls right into the things I enjoy doing most in life.
What ranks and titles have you held? As an amateur, I held 3 titles (all at Light Heavyweight) and I defended one of my titles once. I was also ranked top five in the Midwest Amateur Ranks.
Do you have any heroes? I don't have any specific heroes, but there have been many professional athletes I have always looked up to. Ever since I was a little kid, I have had aspirations of one day becoming a professional athlete myself.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I can honestly say since the first time I stepped into a cage as an amateur, it has been a dream of mine to compete in the UFC. Now that I will be fulfilling that dream Oct. 29, my dream is to one day become a UFC top contender.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I played 4 years of college football. I began my career at Culver-Stockton College and later transferred to Quincy University. Because I chose to switch schools, not all of my credits transferred over. My degree is in Business Management, although I am currently 8 credit hours short of completing that degree. I plan to complete my degree in the near future.
What was your job before you started fighting? Immediately following my last year of school, I began training full-time in Granite City, IL at Matt Hughes' H.I.T. Squad, now known as Finney's H.I.T. Squad. During that time, I worked for a flooring company in Quincy, IL, bounced at a local club in Quincy called The Phoenix, and also worked on 5 Tool Farms (Miscellaneous work on Jayson Werth's farm).
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? I was 9-1 as an amateur and held 3 amateur titles, defending one of them once.
Sspecific accomplishments in pro competition? I have managed to maintain a perfect 6-0 record as a professional - earning submission of the night in my 3rd professional fight.
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Competing as a youth in wrestling, I won 2 state titles in Colorado. Also, at the age of 8 years old, I was a Jr. Black belt in taekwondo.
Favorite grappling technique: Triangle Choke
Favorite Striking technique: Utilizing my Jab

Aptly named Granite Dome is an immense granite massif with numerous basins occupied by stunning alpine lakes. All of the lakes are located on the northern side of the massive ridge that culminates in the summit while the south side features much less rock and more meadows. The region is accessed via Kennedy Meadows and features a moderately steep trail to reach Relief Reservoir and beyond, and then off-trail travel along granite slabs to reach a series of lakes including Lewis Lakes (lower, middle, upper), Sardella Lake, Ridge Lake and Iceland Lake. In my opinion Ridge Lake is the centerpiece nestled beneath the towering cliffs of the Granite dome summit. Many photos can be found here.
The cross-country travel to reach the lakes from Summit Creek was straightforward and I soon found myself at Sardella Lake with an awesome backdrop of Granite Dome. I continued up to Upper Lewis Lake which was still 80% frozen. I made a slight diversion to see Middle and Lower Lewis Lakes from above. Middle Lewis Lake is spectacular with towering granite cliffs and I definitely want to visit it at shore level in the future. Continuing up the slopes above Upper Lewis Lake, I encountered consistent snow and put on my Khatoola microspikes. These proved to be essential as the slope steepened and the snow became harder, if not icy in spots, on the north facing aspect below the ridgeline. Once atop the ridge, the slope eased and I was soon traversing the broad summit ridge to the actual summit. I enjoyed awesome views in all directions, in particular a pillar protruding from the main granite wall of the Dome afforded a great aspect of the Granite Dome and lakes below.
On the way down, I veered toward Ridge Lake where I also encountered sections of firm snow to carefully navigate. Finally at Ridge Lake, I spent time enjoying this paradise characterized by deep blue waters, clumps of vegetation, and polished granite. I explored the area and climbed some slabs for a great view of Iceland Lake and then descended to Iceland Lake, another gorgeous alpine lake. Instead of returning to the trail the same way I had come, I decided to make a loop and follow the canyon draining Ridge Lake. None of the travel was technical, although it was definitely more time consuming than the way I had come. Once at the bottom of the canyon, I crossed a swampy Relief Meadows to join the Relief Meadows trail and ultimately made my way back to the main trail followed by a quick run downhill to Kennedy Meadows.

Minnesota Metropolitan Council awards engineering contracts for Southwest LRTWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The Southwest Light Rail Transit line in Minnesota took a major step forward to opening in 2018 when the Metropolitan Council authorized preliminary engineering contracts with Kimley-Horn and AECOM.
Kimley-Horn and AECOM will begin the preliminary engineering work within the coming weeks on the region's third light-rail line. The line will support one of the largest business/employment corridors in the state by serving 210,000 jobs the day it opens, as well as serving an anticipated 60,000 additional jobs that will be created in the corridor by 2030.
The council voted to authorize its regional administrator to execute a contract up to $16.8 million with Kimley-Horn for the eastern half of the 15-mile line and a contract of up to $16.8 million with AECOM for the line's western half.
Preliminary engineering will help the council decide exactly where stations should be built, whether to build next to existing freight rail traffic or relocate the freight rail traffic, where to locate park and rides and an operation and maintenance facility and whether to design crossings at grade or build bridges or tunnels for the tracks. The council will hire a different engineering firm to provide independent peer review of the preliminary engineering from both companies.
Construction is expected to begin in 2015 on the 15-mile line linking downtown Minneapolis with the southwestern suburban cities of St. Louis and downtown Minneapolis with the southwestern suburban cities of St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie and passing in close proximity to Edina. When the line opens in 2018, it would connect with the Central Corridor (Green Line) at Target Field Station, meaning riders boarding in Eden Prairie could ride to downtown St. Paul without changing trains. At Target Field Station, riders would be able to transfer to Hiawatha trains (Blue Line) headed for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and Mall of America or Northstar commuter rail trains headed 40 miles north to Big Lake.
The cost of the $1.25-billion line will be divided among contributions from federal (50 percent) and local funders Counties Transit Improvement Board (30 percent), Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (10 percent) and the state of Minnesota (10 percent).

Frequently asked questions
General Issues > Eastern Astrology
- Why
don't you offer Eastern types of astrology?
Astrodienst stands in the Western tradition of astrology. We are aware of the fact that in other parts of the world, there are great astrological traditions that differ from ours and are just as valid. The technical, philosophical and cultural differences in astrology vary hugely, depending on where the art is practised.
We have specialised in the Western kind of astrology, and even here there are techniques that we cannot offer. It would be impossible to provide in-depth information on all the different kinds of astrology, be it Vedic, Hindu, Joytish or Chinese - and there are many more ... But there are plenty of Indian or Chinese astrology websites, full of interesting offers based on their respective tradition.
- Why
do I have a different sun sign in Indian astrology?
The systems of astrology as practised in India and in the West are quite different. This accounts probably for this difference.
Hindu astrology uses a fixed star based zodiac which was taken over from the Greeks in the Hellenistic times, when Hindu astrology had its main formative period.
Since then, the spring equinoctial point has moved by nearly a sign, and western astrology, which uses the tropical coordinate system of modern astronomy, has shifted its sun-signs accordingly (see also: Precession and Zodiac). Hindu astrology however sticks to a zodiac of 2000 years back in time. It has developed different traditions of knowledge, also in many other respects.
Under Free Horoscopes -> Extended Chart Selection, there are options for specialists which allow you to compute a chart also with the Hindu-style zodiac.

On Dec. 4, the Dover/CR Raiders Pop Warner Cheerleading team comprised of 10-13-year-old girls from across Kent County, competed in the Pop Warner Cheerleading National Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, where they were crowned the nation's top peewee cheerleading squad.
There's been quite a bit to cheer about this year for the Dover/CR Raiders Pop Warner Cheerleading team.
After winning the Henlopen Conference and the Eastern Region championship in November, the Raiders qualified for the national championships in Orlando, Fla.
On Dec. 4, the team, comprised of 10-13-year-old girls from across Kent County, competed in the Pop Warner Cheerleading National Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, where they were crowned the nation's top peewee cheerleading squad, defeating nine other teams from across the United States.
It was an exciting finish to a whirlwind fall season for the girls.
The 11-member team began practicing in August at Faith Life Ministries near Cheswold before taking to the sidelines at Central Middle School each weekend to support the Raiders football team. In October, the girls took part in their first competition, winning the Henlopen Conference title at the Wicomico Civic Center in Salisbury, Md.
Less than two weeks later, it was on to the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, where they again placed first – this time against a deeper pool of talent. That victory earned the Raiders a spot at regionals, held at Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, N.J.
Competing against champions from New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the Raiders took first place in level three of the peewee division, earning a place at nationals.
"Pop Warner cheerleading is very safety driven," said head coach Ashley Bermel. "The girls do some spectacular stuff, but safety is very much involved. Still, it's extremely competitive. Everyone is trying to do the best they can."
Bermel, like the teams' other four coaches, has no cheerleading experience, which makes the Raiders' success all the more impressive.
"The program started six years ago. My daughter wanted to be on the team and I was just a mother, but the coach at that time left and so I picked it up so the team wouldn't fold or fall apart," she said.
In the last few years Bermel has learned more than she ever could have imagined about cheerleading. She's also learned that it pays to delegate. That's why the team has four other coaches, each in charge of a specific component of the team. For example, James Harrison is in charge of conditioning, while Ashley Newsome handles choreography.
The championship routine lasted 2 minutes, 30 seconds, and while the majority of the routine included dancing and tumbling stunts, the girls were required to summon their sideline spirit for a cheering segment, which included some crowd participation.
It was an intricate routine, all put together with just a few practice opportunities.
"We won regionals on Nov. 18 and basically had a week or so of preparation before heading to Disney," Bermel said. "So we had a conversation with the girls and we said, 'do you want to just go enjoy Disney and be happy we got there or do you want to be national champions?' They all wanted to go there and win."
But it was difficult for the team in the run-up to the competition. After all the effort it took just to qualify for nationals, the team had to work hard to raise money to offset the cost of the trip. Within only a few days the team organized a bake sale, a chili cook-off and sold Chick-fil-A key chains to try to offset the cost for each cheerleader.
On top of that, one of the team members was hospitalized with an illness before the trip, while another suffered a wrist injury.
"It seemed like everything was going wrong, and then we had one practice in Florida before the competition and it was awful," Bermel said. "But the girls pulled it all together. They competed for one another."
Assistant coach James Harrison said winning at regionals gave the team belief.
"We've always done well at the qualifiers but we were never able to move past regionals," Harrison said. "There had been a lot of tears [in previous years.]"
Twelve-year-old Zelena Harris said she'll never forget how this Raiders team came together and performed at their best when it mattered most.
"[I'll remember] how we came together as a team to get to the top," she said.
For 13-year-old Kaitlin Callahan and 11-year-old Jennifer Moran, the season was all about forging strong friendships and making new memories.
Sarah Cacoilo, 13, said one memory in particular would endure.
"We went to Disney and heard our names called as champions," she said. "We were the best."

Michael Jackson may not perform at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards after all.
Well ... I know that. I meant the hologram.
That's right -- hologram Michael Jackson was going to perform on Sunday's show, but a lawsuit filed by Alki David, who said he owns the rights to the technology, could put a stop to that.
David filed a lawsuit late Thursday against the Michael Jackson Estate, MJ's production company and Dick Clark Productions, to stop them from showing the hologram supposedly using David's technology, according to TMZ.
The lawsuit says a life-size, projected 3D image of Michael will showcase a never-before-released Jackson song, "Slave to the Rhythm."
This just in -- Jermaine Jackson has announced he and his brothers will immediately take the hologram on a multimillion dollar stadium tour.
He may have to wait. The Jackson hologram would likely be similar to the Tupac Shakur hologram at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which David claims was based on the same technology.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West should see if that hologram is available to officiate their wedding.
Anyway, David says if Billboard goes ahead with the MJ performance Sunday, it will ruin ... wait for it ... HIS plans for a similar high-profile holographic Jackson performance.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for Jackson's estate, told TMZ, "This is another Alki David stunt, no different than his claiming that Brandon Howard was Michael Jackson's son. It is ludicrous ... and the show goes on."

Congratulations to Abbotsford Heat goaltender Barry Brust who set an AHL record as he went 268:17 minutes of shutout hockey to break Johnny Bower's record set in 1957 of 249:51. At age 34, Bower went on the next season to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs and led them to four Stanley Cup wins in the next 10 years before retiring at the age of 46 in 1970.
Brust is 29 and has played in 11 NHL games for the Los Angeles Kings in the 2006-07 season when he replaced an injured Dan Cloutier and Mathieu Garon. He started on January 13, 2007 and was pulled in a 6-5 loss to St. Louis. The goaltender who replaced him, Yutaka Fukufuji, became the first native of Japan to play in the NHL.
Once the NHL and the Players Association decide to agree upon a new CBA, don't forget to purchase the Rotoworld Fantasy Guide here!
Nazem Kadri – Kadri has mostly been a disappointment for Toronto fans since his selection with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 Draft. Everyone picked before him, John Tavares, Victor Hedman, Matt Duchene, Evander Kane, Brayden Schenn and Oliver Ekman-Larsson have made a dent in their NHL careers, as have some selected below him such as Dmitry Kulikov, Chris Kreider and Nick Leddy, Kadri has struggled at the NHL level despite his sublime offensive talent. However Kadri has taken a leap ahead this season with the AHL Marlies as he has 13 points in his last six games after a slow start in which he had only three assists in his first nine games. He was the player of the week for the week ending November 18. Look for Kadri to get a proper look as a top-six forward once the NHL season gets underway.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – The first overall pick in the 2011 Draft showed why he deserved that exalted spot with his outstanding play for the Oilers last season (18 goals and 54 points) despite missing 20 games with shoulder woes. He has picked up right where he left off with the Oklahoma City Barons as he has eight goals and 20 points in 17 games thus far. Nugent-Hopkins will continue to improve, especially centering a line with Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. A 100 point season is within his grasp and could be in his sights in a couple of years.
Tyler Johnson – Tampa Bay may have struck gold when they signed undrafted free agent Tyler Johnson to a three year deal in 2011. He potted 53 goals and 115 points as an overage junior for the Spokane Chiefs of the AHL in 2010-11 and continued his stellar play in his first pro season last year when he had 31 goals and 68 points for Norfolk. The Lightning switched their allegiance to Syracuse this season and Johnson has not missed a beat with 13 goals and 20 points in 17 games to go with a plus-11 rating. His size may hinder him as he is only five feet, 10 inches but look for Johnson to get a look see at training camp in 2013 for the Lightning.
Marcus Foligno – Foligno has been a pleasant surprise for the Sabres as their fourth round pick of the 2009 Draft stunned the NHL with 13 points in 13 games after being called up to the NHL after the trade deadline. His play in the minors impressed the Sabres so much that dealing Zack Kassian to the Canucks for Cody Hodgson was an easy move for the Sabres to make a week earlier. Foligno got a taste of the NHL in December when he was held scoreless in one game but was called up for good on March 3 and settled in as a top-six forward alongside Tyler Ennis and Drew Stafford. While it is highly unlikely that he will remain a point-per-game player, Foligno should hit the 50-plus point mark in a full season and will spend some time in the penalty box which will make him valuable in pools that reward stints in the sin bin.
Brian Flynn – Another undrafted player, Flynn signed on with the Sabres after a four year career at the University of Maine where he had 18 goals and 48 points in 40 games in his senior year finishing ninth in the nation in Division 1 scoring. He played five games for Rochester upon leaving Maine where he had a solitary assist. This season he has exploded out of the gate with eight goals and 15 points in 15 games. Flynn will benefit from a couple of seasons of honing his skills in the minors before getting an opportunity to crack the Sabres lineup.

Sound Transit begins final design for East Link light railWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
Sound Transit is kicking off the final design process for the East Link light rail extension's Downtown Bellevue segment with an open house to be held May 16 at Bellevue City Hall.
The East Link light rail alignment is now final following the April 25 action by the Sound Transit Board, approving cost-saving options identified in conjunction with the city of Bellevue, reducing the project's cost by $30 to $53 million. The final design process will advance design work from approximately 30 percent to 100 percent completion.
Attendees of the open house will learn about station designs and permanent station names.
Riding East Link between Seattle and Downtown Bellevue is projected to take less than 20 minutes. By comparison, in the afternoon peak period it can currently take approximately 45 minutes to travel between Seattle and Bellevue via I-90.
As the region's population continues growing, East Link will provide new transportation capacity to the I-90 corridor. Increases in the length and frequency of trains through time offer the capacity to carry 9,000 to 12,000 people per hour in each direction, which would more than double the person-carrying capacity of I-90 and is roughly equivalent to seven to 10 freeway lanes of vehicle traffic. By 2030, East Link is projected to carry more than 50,000 riders each weekday.


text: I just wanted to Post here and Say I know Jared Allen has a bad rap off the field with his Stupid DUI 's . I really hope If he stays he doesnt come on to the field to Boos every game because he wants more money . I think out of everyone on that defense, he was the most productive. Also He played with passion for the game when he was on the field . He probably has a jerkoff agent who is doing most of the speaking on his behalf . Making him look like a schmuck to the Chiefs fans. I think he deserves a pay raise because he brings it to the field every game . His actions on the field warrant the extra cash. Off the Field I would have to say he needs to have a stipulation in his contract that he gets some type of help with his addiction to Alcohol . I call it an addiction because its definately affecting his personal life and his careeer. I really hope we keep him . Somehow I feel more at ease with him in the game . He is definately a huge factor on how well our defense plays . Also I would like to see Tamba Hali have a breakout season this year .... Thanks for listing to my point of view !

I find it interesting that yesterday, I received a phone call from my brother. During that call, he told my that our Uncle (Uncle Max) was on board the SS Calvin Coolidge (a.k.a. USS Calvin Coolidge) when it sunk on October 12, 1942.
I guess my uncle and I never shared our "sea stories". So, today, December 7, 2012, I started to find out more about the Coolidge. I hope that in the near future, my brother will share any "genealogical" information he might find while he visits my aunt and uncle.
I did some searching on fold3.com to see what I could find about the Coolidge or my uncle. But I DID find a Cruise Book for the Ship that my former Father-In-Law was stationed on. The USS Cabot (CVL28)
It was then that I remembered what today really is and what happened this day so many years ago.
We WILL Remember.

"A report of thefts in the locker rooms at Mexico High School was made to the Mexico school board last night at its regular session. Board member William B. Nowell brought up the subject of the thefts and proposed the board go into executive session. The board agreed to do so but later in discussion Mr. Nowell said he really couldn't see any need for secrecy and the meeting was thrown open again. He reported there have been five thefts of money from clothing left in the locker rooms during physical education classes, one from the girls' locker room and four from the boys. Board members said measures should be taken to put a stop to the stealing. President Carl Burchfield suggested that the teachers see that everyone is out of the rooms and then lock them during gym classes. Supt. Buford Thomas said he and Asst. Supt. Joe Hodgin will investigate and with Principal William Lowry and the coaches put into effect measures to stop stealing."

Nashua police officer's hearing loss can't slow him downBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent March 24. 2013 9:33PM
NASHUA - When Sgt. Joseph Molinari of the Nashua Police Department began experiencing hearing complications a decade ago at the age of 37, he admits it was a little frightening and quite unsettling.
"At first it just seemed like I had some water or bubbling in my ear, and I was given an antihistamine and told it would get better," said Molinari.
Months later the ear problem persisted and had also extended to his other ear, prompting Molinari to seek advice from multiple experts.
"Everyone I talked to said I was too young to be having hearing issues, but one doctor finally noticed that was the actual problem," he said.
Now, at the age of 47, the city police sergeant has finally found a hearing device that works well for his job and has helped him overcome his hearing challenges.
Molinari says he has been lucky, and the hearing loss in both his ears hasn't affected his policing abilities thanks to the helpful devices he calls earbuds.
Now, Molinari is being recognized as one of 12 finalists in the running for the Oticon Focus on People Awards, a national program that honors hearing-impaired students, adults and advocacy volunteers who have demonstrated through their accomplishments that hearing loss does not limit a person's ability to make a difference in their families, communities and the world, according to a release.
"Joe was determined to show that addressing his hearing loss would strengthen his ability to serve the community and his fellow officers. In a profession where physical and emotional strength is respected and necessary, Joe said he was terrified of walking into the locker room for the first time with hearing instruments," says Molinari's story posted on Oticon's website.
It goes on to say that the hearing devices made an immediate difference, as shortly thereafter he was able to hear a passing motorist yell to him across heavy traffic, alerting him to a motor vehicle accident and unresponsive driver.
Molinari, who has worked for the city police force since 1994, said he likely would not have heard the screams without the hearing instruments, and as a result, he was able to revive the injured driver.
Molinari said last week that he experimented with numerous ear pieces before finding what works for him, explaining people in his situation often get very frustrated with the process, the doctors and equipment.
He credits a new audiologist in Lawrence, Mass., for helping him overcome his reservations and fears about his hearing loss. Now, Molinari is embracing his hearing impairment and empowering local children to do the same. The police sergeant has helped coach youth lacrosse and basketball, where one of his players also uses hearing aids.
"I was so glad to have that kid on my team, because I really get it," said Molinari. "I knew that I had to look him in the face and make eye contact with him when I was coaching, and I knew how to explain the situation to his teammates as well. It is amazing how short-sighted people can be if they are not educated."
Molinari is inspiring others with hearing loss to make the most of their challenges and overcome the hardships.
"By spotlighting people with hearing loss and their contributions, Oticon aims to change outdated stereotypes that discourage people from seeking professional help for their hearing loss," says the release from Oticon.
The public is encouraged to vote on Oticon's website for their favorite candidates, including Molinari, who is one of three adult finalists. Overall, there are 12 finalists in the running.
Top winners in all categories will receive a $1,000 award in addition to a $1,000 donation to the nonprofit group of their choice.
Voting is open until March 31 at www.oticonusa.com.
Winners will be announced next month.

FedEx Corp. said its freight unit will raise rates by 4.5 percent beginning July 1.
The move follows Jan. 7 rate increases in its FedEx Express air shipment business and FedEx Ground package shipping business.
FedEx said Monday that its freight fuel surcharges are not changing, and remain among the lowest in the industry.
The Memphis Area Home Builders Association is joining with two West Tennessee associations to form the new West Tennessee Home Builders Association.
The Jackson Area HBA, the Dyersburg Area HBA and the Memphis Area HBA are combining to form the new group.
"The main thing we do now is fight legislative issues," said Don Caylor, 2013 president of Memphis Area Home Builders Association. "I think it will give us a more unified voice in the state of Tennessee."
Caylor said membership at MAHBA dipped along with the economy and partnering with other organizations would provide builders with more opportunities.
"The downturn in the economy certainly opened the door for it," Caylor said.
"We've really taken a shell in the belly of our ship with this economy," he said. "Things are getting better and I think it will better position us when the economy bounces back."
A formal announcement about the new organization and the 2013 VESTA Home Show is scheduled for Friday, June 14.
AutoZone Inc.'s board has authorized the repurchase of $750 million worth of shares of common stock as part of the company's ongoing share repurchase program.
Since the inception of the repurchase program in 1998, and including the new amount, AutoZone's board has authorized $13.4 billion in repurchases.
In unrelated news the company announced this week, AutoZone general counsel Harry Goldsmith is retiring in January 2014.
The new American Athletic Conference will hold its first men's basketball tournament at the FedExForum in Memphis next March.
The tournament will be held March 12-15 with all games televised by ESPN's networks and the championship game on ESPN.
The arena will host the NCAA tournament's South Regional two weeks after the American Athletic Conference tournament.
The announcement was made by Commissioner Mike Aresco, who lauded the tournament as a "wonderful event that our teams, coaches, administrators and fans will embrace and enjoy."
University of Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen called it an exciting day after a collaboration involving the arena, the university and city of Memphis.
"This is monumental and dynamic for this new conference," Bowen said. "We believe it will be a great tournament for this city, our fans and for Tigers everywhere."
Memphis coach Josh Pastner said all of the league's basketball coaches agreed at the conference meetings recently that the best place to hold a tournament was Memphis. He said even Louisville coach Rick Pitino called into the league meeting to endorse Memphis for the tournament.
"For all of the other coaches to say the best place to be is right here, that's just a rare credit to the fans," Pastner said in a statement.
Three Shelby County high schools – Ridgeway, Southwind and Bartlett – will host the local part of the largest teacher training event in Tennessee history.
The schools and 14 others across the state will host sessions for 30,000 educators in the Common Core State Standards.
The math session will be June 18-21 at Southwind, 7900 E. Shelby Drive, and Ridgeway, 2009 Ridgeway Road; and June 25-28 at Ridgeway and Bartlett High School, 5688 Woodlawn Road.
The English language arts training sections are being scheduled for later in the summer.
The Common Core standards are replacing the "No Child Left Behind" student achievement standards.
Hollywood Feed, which offers a wide selection of natural and holistic pet food and products, among other things, is opening three new stores in July and August.
Two of them will be in the Memphis area – in East Memphis and in Southaven.
The first two stores to open will be at 352 E. Goodman Road in Southaven, and 376 Ridge Way Road in Flowood, Miss.
At 3,600 square feet, the Southaven store will include features like dog washing stations and a full-service pet grooming salon.
The East Memphis store, scheduled to open in August, will be located at 2809 Kirby Parkway. That location will measure about 2,200 square feet.
The three new locations bring the pet retailer's store count to 21 locations across the Southeast in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.
The breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant concept First Watch is looking to expand in Tennessee, with company executives seeking multi-unit franchisees to open restaurants in Memphis.
The search for a franchisee in Memphis is part of the company's strategy to grow to more than 300 restaurants by 2017.
First Watch currently operates more than 100 restaurants in 15 states. Each restaurant is about 3,200 square feet to 3,500 square feet, seats about 120 guests and employs about 25 local residents.
The company is celebrating its 30th year in 2013.
FordHarrison LLP, a labor and employment law firm with operations in Memphis, has joined Ius Laboris, the world's largest alliance of human resources and pensions law firms.
"Access to local human resources law services in the main business centers in America will be an invaluable resource for our European and worldwide clients," said Chris Engels, the recently appointed chairman of Ius Laboris.
The Ius Laboris alliance includes 43 law firms with more than 1,300 lawyers in 42 countries.
The Tennessee Board of Pharmacy says it has adopted new regulations for compounding pharmacies licensed by the state following recent outbreaks of illnesses associated with tainted medicines created at these specialty pharmacies.
The Pharmacy Board said in a news release that the new rules will improve safeguards for public health while also ensuring that drugs in short supply will be available. Compounding pharmacies mix custom formulations of drugs based on doctors' specifications.
The board said the changes include expedited suspension of sterile compounding by a pharmacy or manufacturer after a serious problem is discovered and adding sterile compounding registration to licenses issued by the state.
Drug manufacturers doing business in Tennessee will also be required to show they are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Americans stepped up purchases at retail businesses in May, spending more on cars, home improvements and sporting goods. The gain shows consumers remain resilient despite higher taxes and could drive faster growth later this year.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales increased 0.6 percent in May from April. That's up from a 0.1 percent gain the previous month and the fastest pace since February.
The April gain was led by a 1.8 percent jump in auto sales, the biggest increase in six months. Excluding volatile autos, gas and building supplies, core retail sales rose 0.3 percent. That's slightly higher than the 0.2 percent April increase.
Sales increased at hardware and general merchandise stores, but fell at furniture and appliance stores.
Memphis-based law firm Bailey & Greer PLLC scored a victory when a Shelby County Circuit Court jury awarded $3.7 million to Donriel A. Borne for injuries he sustained when the 18-wheeler he was driving was struck from behind by another big rig on Interstate 55 in Memphis.
R. Sadler Bailey and Thomas R. Greer of Bailey and Greer represented Borne in the two-week trial against Indianapolis-based Celadon Trucking Services Inc.
Greer said the decision to take the case to trial was made after attempts to resolve the matter through negotiation and mediation failed following a defense offer of $25,000.
The Tennessee Department of Revenue is advising businesses selling food to start making the changes necessary to reflect a drop in the state sales tax rate on food that takes effect July 1.
The Tennessee Legislature passed the law earlier this year dropping the state sales tax rate on food from 5.25 percent to 5 percent effective with the start of the new fiscal year. The change does not affect the local option sales tax rate.
The reduced state tax rate applies to food and food ingredients. It does not apply to prepared food, dietary supplements, tobacco, candy and dietary supplements, which are taxed at the 7 percent state sales tax rate.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed the food sales tax roll back into law in May. While the legislature changed the sales tax rate on food, it did not change the parts of existing law that define the food and food ingredients that the tax applies to.
Georgia-Pacific LLC has received a request from the Federal Trade Commission and the antitrust division of the Justice Department for more information and documents related to its acquisition of Buckeye Technologies Inc.
Buckeye, which is based in Memphis, runs manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Germany.
It makes and markets specialty fibers and nonwoven materials made from wood and cotton.
Those products are used in personal hygiene products, disposable diapers, engine air and oil filters, napkins, cleaning supplies, baby wipes and a series of other goods.
In April Georgia-Pacific announced that it reached a deal to buy Buckeye for about $1.46 billion. Georgia-Pacific is a privately held Atlanta-based paper, packaging and building products company.
The FTC and antitrust unit asked for more information and documentation on Buckeye's nonwovens business.
Georgia-Pacific and Buckeye said that they will continue to work with the FTC and antitrust division.
Chief executives for the largest U.S. companies are more optimistic about sales over the next six months and plan to add more workers.
The Business Roundtable said Wednesday that its April-June quarterly survey found 32 percent of its members expect to expand payrolls in the next six months. That's up from 29 percent in the January-March survey. And 78 percent expect their sales to increase. That's up from 72 percent from the previous survey.
Consumers have kept spending this year, despite an increase in Social Security taxes. That's helped the economy grow at a modest pace. Still, most of the CEOs don't expect growth to accelerate. They forecast growth of 2.2 percent this year, only slightly better than the 2.1 percent forecast in the first-quarter survey.
"CEOs see the U.S. economy still on a slow road to recovery," said Jim McNerney, chief executive of Boeing and the chairman of the Business Roundtable.
The better sales outlook reflects modest growth in the United States and "continued high growth in Asia" and other emerging markets, McNerney said, offset by continuing recession in Europe.
Small-business owners are also a bit more optimistic, according to a separate survey by the National Federation of Independent Business, released Tuesday. The NFIB's small business optimism index rose for the second straight month to 94.4. That's the second-highest level since the recession began in December 2007. Greater confidence in future sales and economic growth drove the increase.
The Shelby County Commission meeting Monday, June 17, will include a required public hearing on the change in the county property tax rate.
The commission filed a public notice this week published in The Daily News that sets the hearing for the 1:30 p.m. meeting at the Vasco Smith County Administration Building, 160 N. Main St.
The proposed county property tax rate up for the second of three readings at Monday's meeting is $4.38 compared to the current rate of $4.02.
In the proposed rate, 30 cents of the increase is the recertified rate that the county and state estimate would produce the same amount of revenue for county government taking into account the 2013 property reappraisal that the $4.02 rate now produces. The remaining 6 cents on the tax rate is a tax increase to produce about half of the $20 million in new funding Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell has proposed for the consolidated school system. The new rate for the county outside the city of Memphis would remain 4 cents higher to pay off rural school bonds used to build Arlington High School.
The government reported Wednesday that the U.S. budget deficit widened in May by $139 billion. But the annual deficit stayed on track to finish below $1 trillion for the first time since 2008.
Steady economic growth and higher tax rates have boosted the government's tax revenue. At the same time, government spending has barely increased.
With the May increase, the deficit through the first eight months of this budget year totaled $626 billion, according to the Treasury. That's down $218 billion lower than the same period last year. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the deficit won't grow much before the budget year ends on Sept. 30.
About a month ago, Shelby County Commissioner Steve Mulroy donated a kidney to a stranger. That donation has created the second-largest kidney swap chain in history, according to the National Kidney Registry.
Chain 221 began with Mulroy's altruistic donation at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute and involved 56 participants and 19 transplant centers.
"Once you realize that this is a way to save a life and possibly many other lives without any real permanent sacrifice on my part, it seems like not only a no-brainer, but a moral imperative," said Mulroy, who also is a professor of law at the University of Memphis.
The speed of Chain 221 illustrates the progress that's been made in shortening the setup times for large swaps, reducing the time patients wait for a kidney transplant. Large swaps like Chain 221 increase the ability to find matches for patients who are difficult to match.

AdaCore has released the GNATcoverage 1.2 source and object code coverage analysis tool. The product's technology does not require instrumentation of the executable, and this new product release supports usage with an iSystem hardware probe generating Nexus trace data, as well as usage with Valgrind on Linux.
GNATcoverage 1.2 supports Ada 95, Ada 2005, and many new features in Ada 2012. It can also be used for the upcoming SPARK 2014 revision and includes Beta support for C.
Other enhancements include functions covering the generation of coverage information for generics on a per-instance basis, and improved HTML output (sortable columns, project awareness). The tool is now integrated with the GNAT Pro development environment.
Qualification material is available to support GNATcoverage usage as a verification tool (DO-178B) or a tool at TQL-5 (DO-178C). It can be used as part of the verification process for systems that need to be certified up to Level A, and can thus supply analysis up to Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MCDC). GNATcoverage can also be used for railway applications that need to comply with EN-50128:2011 (T2).
"This new release of GNATcoverage considerably expands the product's capabilities," said Cyrille Comar, AdaCore managing director. "Furthermore, now that it has been established that object branch coverage is not sufficient for claiming MCDC, we can assert that GNATcoverage is the only coverage technology that does complete MCDC without application-level instrumentation."

Approximate overall dimension with border: 21x21 in. Includes 32 individual tiles:
Antique White Background.,
16 tiles that measure 4¼ x 4¼ in.,
16 cornice molding that measure 2x6 in.
Talavera Ceramic tiles are NOT frost resistant, they should not be used on outdoor installations with potential freezing temperatures.
Our Terra Nova tile collection as its name implies "New Earth" is a new and improved line of handcrafted tile now available exclusively at Tierra y Fuego. It all began with changing and improving the basic composition of the clay, glaze, and firing, which are the basic elements of ceramic tile, and are traceable to their structure and composition. The Terra Nova tile can be used in a wider range of uses, compared to Talavera tile, fulfilling technical needs for applications of greater stress, and at the same time satisfying the taste and aesthetic requirements of our customers.
Compared to our Traditional Talavera tiles the Terra Nova Tiles have greater hardness and mechanical strength, due in part to new mixtures of various raw materials that can be fired at higher temperatures. The proper mixture of raw materials is important because it provides the plasticity and rigidity needed for the tiles to be handled and moved without falling apart. Another important improvement has been in the formulation of glazes. The glaze is the thin layer of glossy material on the body of the tile or (bisque), which provides aesthetic and technical properties, such as color, design, impermeability and hardness. Finally, firing of the tiles at higher temperatures produces a tile with stronger body, better resistance to stains and lower porosity.
Terra Nova Tiles are made using the Maiolica ceramic technique, by applying a tin-glaze layer on a terracotta tile, then the tile is decorated over the glazed surface with other color glazes, and lastly it is fired in a kiln until it reaches the desired finish. The name Maiolica is thought to come from the medieval Italian word for Majorca, an island in the Mediterranean on the route followed by ships bringing Hispano-Moresque wares from Valencia to Italy. Moorish potters from Majorca are reputed to have worked in Sicily and it has been suggested that their wares reached the Italian mainland from Caltagirone, a town in the island of Sicily.
Tierra y Fuego exclusive Terra Nova tile collection delivers the stunning design and esthetic solutions of authentic, old-world handcrafted decorative tiles, and at the same time meets technical requirements for applications of greater stress. Order your samples today and experience for yourself the high quality and uniqueness of our Terra Nova Tiles.
Note: All of our Talavera tile designs or any other designs may be custom made in a Terra Nova tile, which is made with finer raw materials and improved ceramic manufacturing techniques.
We have taken our handcrafted ceramic tile to a new level of quality and durability. Our research and development team of designers and ceramists have given birth to this new collection of tile. This collection serves as an alternative choice to traditional talavera tiles offering more designs and colors as well as a higher standard of quality.
Terra Nova tiles are available in either an antique white or pure white background. You can request a design to be made on either background if the design is not stocked in the background you specify.
Although Tierra y Fuego maintains high standards of quality control lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from original orders. This is an intrinsic characteristic in all ceramic tiles, and particularly in handcrafted tiles.

After two exciting weeks I can already tell you that we have some really exciting volleyball being played.
While Peter Cottontail is off musing for the whereabouts of Bugs, let's get started...
* Last week, I was chastised for neglecting to provide my health tip of the week. So, we are doing it first this week.
This week's topic ― How to make time for health when you're busy.
1) Write exercise into your planner/calendar.
2) Make big batches of meals and snacks at the beginning of the week.
3) If you feel guilty working out when you need to be studying or working, then combine the two.
4) Get up early to work out or bring gym clothes with you and exercise immediately after work or school.
5) Make a workout buddy or attend workout classes at a gym and make friends in the class.
I personally excel at tip No. 2.
* Speaking of Peter Cottontail and Harvey, they have called on Thumper to spread the word of the City of Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department's Easter Egg Hunt on March 23 at 1 p.m.
We will all be joining Peter Cottontail and all of the friends he is gathering at the 10th Avenue Park just south of Warren Middle School.
If you put your ear to the ground to listen to Thumper's message, you will hear that Sagasu Family Martial Arts has many exciting plans for folks of all ages.
I understand that Master Baker has joined in the hunt for Bugs in hopes of locating him before the big egg hunt.
* Wednesday night we completed our second week of adult coed volleyball. After two exciting weeks I can already tell you that we have some really exciting volleyball being played.
At this point, Small N Explosive (Philip Martin) and Zeck Ford/GLN (Stacy Wolters) are tied for first at 1-0. Boom (Laura Ruble) and Pancake Pack are tied at 1-1 for third place.
At this time, Block Party (Ryan Hoppe) is in fifth place. They are playing on Wednesday nights, come out and join them.
* Remember that on Monday nights, we have exciting adult women's volleyball.
The games are becoming tighter as the season progresses. Dominators (Ruth Striggow) defeated Six Pack (Kim Todd Rhoades) 25-15 and 25-18. Boom (Sherri Schwinn) defeated Diggin' It (Lona Lanter) in two games.
The Drillers (Wendy Sachen) still leads the adult women's league with a 5-0 record, followed closely by the 5-1 Boom.
* In the men's adult basketball league on Tuesday, behind Rodney Chambers' 30 points and Harry Burton's 29, Bomb Squad defeated Studdards 79-78.
Carl Robinson scored 28 to lead the way for Studdards. Brandon Dougherty's 21 again led the way, as LV Street Elite defeated Prime 72-60, even though Sam Kenji scored 22.
Oh Yeah!, behind five players in double figures led by Stephen Didde's 18, were victorious 76-63 over Zeck Ford despite the 24 points of Josh Fitch and 20 of Bill Ritchhart.
* Light it up! Mutual Savings became the third team to challenge our scoreboard as they cracked the century mark.
Led by Dru Wheatcroft (36 points), Trent Peter (23 points) and Tony Williams (21 points), Mutual won 104-53 over 2711, who was led by the David Billard's 14 points.
The Angry Ewoks behind Jordan Glenn's 30 and Shane Dodds' 24 edged Young Sign Company 75-72. Joe Thorne scored 19 in Young's defeat.
Wheaton Warbirds defeated Purple Reign 62-56 behind the 25 of Jake Kavanaugh. As you can see, we have excitingly close games nightly.
* Remember we currently have sign-ups going on for the 12th Annual First City TRYathlon co-sponsored by the Leavenworth Parks and Recreation and Santa Fe Trails Bike Shop.
Registration runs through the day of the event, which will be April 13 at 8 a.m.
Tabor Medill is the recreation supervisor for the Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department.

Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman, is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason, to close a key rural town in his company's expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company's offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man, as well as the interest of a local woman. The film explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge.

In Promised Land, screenwriters and stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski pair up with director Gus Van Sant (Milk) for a heart-filled commentary on the perils of the fracking industry. The result is a quiet, often funny, issue-based film that largely avoids preachiness by focusing on the characters rather than the politics.
The most compelling thing about Promised Land — at least for its first two acts — is its willingness to portray fracking as a multisided issue. Damon, whom you can't help but root for, plays Steve, a representative for the fictional natural gas drilling company Global, who convinces residents of rural towns to sign away their land to the corporation in exchange for a big buyout. By telling tales of his own childhood spent in a failed farming community, Steve has earned himself one of the best track records in the company and is poised for a big promotion. But the sincerity with which Steve and his partner Sue (Frances McDormand) speak of the life-changing capacity of this cash infusion for the town's residents not only makes for compelling storytelling, but is almost enough to make the viewer forget all they know about the havoc fracking wreaks upon the land.
However, when Dustin (Krasinski), an environmentalist who is prepared to do whatever it takes to stop Global from moving into our unnamed rural town, arrives on the scene, the film's subtlety begins to erode. Pitted against Krasinski's suave, yet moralistic Dustin, Steve becomes a caricature of himself. While Damon is capable of maintaining his character's likability, Steve is pigeonholed as the money-grubbing face of corporate greed — a role that hardly fits him — as the film takes a rather Erin Brockovichian turn.
While the story is one we've seen again and again — the little guy versus the big bad corporate machine is one of Hollywood's favorite tropes — Promised Land manages to set itself apart thanks to excellent performances by its exceptional cast. Damon and McDormand have the kind of natural chemistry and easy rapports that endear them to the viewer — you leave the theater wishing you had plans to meet up with them for a few beers. Hal Hobrook, meanwhile, is perfectly cast as the town's science teacher and film's moral core. And Rosemarie DeWitt, who plays both Damon and Krasinski's love interest, brings an easy grace and effervescence to the screen.
Promised Land has all the ingredients needed for a great film — fantastic cast, tight writing filled with equal parts poignancy and levity, and a nuanced look at a timely issue. However, a third act twist distills all the lovely shades of gray to black and white, undoing the moral complexities the first two thirds worked to build. Therefore, Promised Land ultimately gets in its own way, stopping itself from bringing anything new to a genre of films known for its predictability.

Working outside in hot temperatures, like 107 degrees on Thursday in Pratt, can really work up a sweat and that is a good thing.
Sweat is the body's natural way to cool down. With high temperatures the body produces a lot of sweat to reduce the body temperature.
However, if the body gets to a point where it can't sweat it could lead to heat stroke or in extreme cases even death, said Deb McGraw, Pratt County director of Public Health.
To help avoid overheating, try to avoid working in the hottest part of the day. While this is possible for some, many people have jobs that require them to work outside.
Those who have to work outside can reduce the risk of heat stroke by wearing loose fitting clothing, don't wear extra clothing, drinking plenty of fluids, work in the shade if possible and don't sit in a hot car, McGraw said.
Wearing a cold pack or damp handkerchief around the neck, putting the cold pack under the armpits or wetting down the clothing will also reduce body temperature.
Keeping water in a cooler is a good idea but let the water stand for just a bit when if first comes out of the ice. The body is already working hard to produce sweat and ice-cold water makes the body work harder, McGraw said.
As long as the body is sweating, it is cooling itself. But if the sweat stops, it's the first sign a person needs take action to cool down.
Drinking water is a quick first step to take as well as get out of the heat and into the shade or go indoors and enjoy some air conditioning.
Many people think that drinking a cold beer is a good way to beat the heat. But beer or any alcoholic drink actually makes the situation worse because it causes the body to urinate more often and that speeds up the loss of fluid.
The same is true for drinks like coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine.
If a body cannot get cool it starts to react with symptoms that include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Other symptoms include rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, red skin and muscle cramps.
If these symptoms are observed the person should lie down and place the feet higher than the head. Then call 911 because these symptoms can get worse and can even be fatal.
An overheated athlete should recover within 15 to 20 minutes. An average person should not take more than 20 minutes. If it is longer they should go to the emergency room, McGraw said.
Babies, children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to over heating and dehydrate quickly.
For homes with no air conditioning or its too expensive to run the run the air conditioning an option is to get out of the house and go to the library and read a book or go to a movie or go to the senior center and play a game of pool, dominoes, checkers, cards or just visit.
Another option is to go shopping to get out of the heat.
Overheating in a house without air conditioning is also a real risk in extreme heat. Some people with limited means will do without medication to have air conditioning.
To help alleviate heat in a house close the blinds to block out the sunlight, place a tub of ice in front of a fan for cool air, run fans to help circulate the air.
If a family is having trouble paying the city bill, especially during the hot summer months, they need to contact the city at 672-6446 and speak with a representative about getting an extension.
The city likes to have late bills paid before the next bill is due but if a family is having problems they need to take the initiative.
"We will work with customers," said LuAnn Kramer, city clerk. "But they need to call the city and not wait until the last minute. That phone call is so important."

Bone is living tissue that provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs. Bone also serves as a storage site for minerals and provides the medium - marrow - for the development and storage of blood cells.
Because the functions of bone are numerous and complex, there are many disorders that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. These conditions include benign (non-cancerous) disorders, cancers that occur in bone, and cancers that affect bone.

A veteran of the peace movement and founder of the Traprock Peace Center (1979), Randy Kehler was active in the National Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign, the Peace Development Fund, and the Working Group on Electoral Democracy. Beginning in 1977, he and his wife became war tax resisters, withholding federal income tax to protest U.S. military expenditures, donating it instead to charity. As a consequence, their home was seized by the IRS in 1989, setting up a protracted legal struggle that resulted in Kehler's arrest and imprisonment and the sale of the house. They remain tax resisters.
The Kehler Papers document the five year struggle (1989-1994) against the seizure and sale of the Kehlers' home by the IRS. The collection includes meeting minutes, notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings; letters to the editor, essays, articles, plans and strategy documents for the vigil set outside the Kehler home; support committee information and actions; correspondence with government officials, the IRS, and the Justice Department; letters of support; documents from the legal proceedings; and political literature addressing the Kehlers' situation.

Gov. Jack Markell implemented a statewide "Level One Driving Warning" at 8 p.m. Sunday, which encourages motorists to cease any non-emergency travel.
Gov. Jack Markell implemented a statewide "Level One Driving Warning" at 8 p.m. Sunday, which encourages motorists to cease any non-emergency travel.
"The storm is getting closer, the roads more dangerous and the need for caution greater. If there's not a critical need for you to be on the roads, stay off of them," Markell said. "I encourage employers to think seriously about following the state's lead and allowing non-essential employees to remain home tomorrow. Emergency personnel are working hard to meet the storm's challenge. Don't give them the extra work of needing to come to your rescue," Markell said.
Governor Markell signed legislation in 2010 giving the state greater flexibility to increase public safety by limiting travel during times of emergency. The three levels are:
· Level One Driving Warning: Drivers are discouraged from operating a motor vehicle on the state's roadways, unless there is a significant safety, health or business reason to do so.
· Level Two Driving Restriction: Travel on the roads is restricted to emergency workers, public utilities, healthcare providers including hospital staff, private sector food and fuel deliveries, and those industries, companies or organization that have been provided a waiver, including businesses with pressing continuity and operational issues.
· Level Three Driving Ban: Complete ban on driving except for first responders, and utility personnel. Businesses and organizations should adjust work schedules so that employees do not need to be on the roads during a Level 3 Driving Ban.
The state will continue to monitor the storm's progress to determine if a heightened driving restriction is required tomorrow afternoon as the storm's center moves closer to Delaware.

Video: Malaysia Pargo & Laura Govan Fight on Basketball Wives: LA Premiere
I didn't watch the Basketball Wives: LA premiere. I had a fantasy football draft, Jets vs. Giants preseason game and running this multi-nickle site took priority, but let me guess what happened.
Gloria acted innocent, Jackie Christie acted crazy, Draya was called a groupie, a lot of cursing, a lot of eye rolling, bad weaves, red bottoms and ended in a fight?
How close am I?
The fight was between Malaysia Pargo and Shaq's lover Laura Govan.
I have no interest in a bunch of old NBA wives who are built like James Harrison, a bunch of young almost basketball Wives who have slept with half of the NBA and a woman who leaves their child at home to hit the club.
I don't knock the hustle, make that money, but I am not going to act like it is anything than what it is, drama filled TV for people who like drama.
Same reason I write the stories, is the same reason you watch the show, no matter what you say, you like stuff like this. I am sort of embarrassed about the fight because as you will see there are other people in the restaurant I am sure their stereotypes of black women was strengthen when they saw this.

Stargazing Amid the Cornfields
Author: Kat Atcheson '12
Do you know what's really cool? Seeing the stripes on Jupiter. The craters on the moon. The Andromeda Galaxy, which is approximately 2 million light years away.
I got to see all of them last semester when I took Professor Cadmus' astronomy class, The Universe and Its Structure. The class is aimed mostly at nonscience majors who are still interested in astronomy, so if you only have basic math skills but an interest in space, it's a good class to take. And, oh my gosh, I never knew there was so much going on in our solar system, let alone in the entire universe!
Each session started with picking up the day's class outline on the front table, with lecture notes, homework deadlines, and observation sessions. Next, Professor Cadmus opened the class with "Show and Tell," which was usually a brief little lesson about a physics concept, astronomy news, or another tidbit of interesting knowledge.
Then it was time to get down to business: galaxies, planets, stars, formations, deaths, light-years, gravity, and moon phases! Not in that particular order, of course. Most lectures involved video clips and slides to help us understand how the universe looks and how its laws behave. And don't forget to ask lots of questions and take notes, because yes, it will be on the exam! Homework could end up being very hands on, involving things like astronomical calculations, predicting moon phases and positions, or observing various celestial phenomena on your own.
Thankfully, the astronomy class met during the day, even though the stars are only out at night. But the best parts of the whole course were undoubtedly the nighttime observation sessions throughout the semester. Grinnell has its own observatory, just beyond the track and about a 10-minute walk from the dorms.
Experiencing a session in the observatory might just have been the most awesome science-related thing I've done on campus. Bundled snugly in my favorite hoodie and holding my trusty flashlight, I would walk the path around 9 p.m. to meet my classmates at the observatory. A dozen or so of us stood around the telescope, listening to Professor Cadmus explain what we were about to view. Then each of us took our turn looking at the sky. This is not exaggeration — it was awe-inspiring. Seeing the moon's craters up close, or a binary star, things I had only read about or seen pictures of in books, with my own eyes was incredibly humbling and inspiring at the same time.
I'm not really much of a science nut, but The Universe and Its Structure really did click with me. Maybe it was the fact that for the first time in my life, I could actually understand the laws of physics. Maybe it was the fact that astronomy appeals to my nocturnal tendencies. Maybe it was the resources Grinnell has to make a class like that not only possible, but also truly excellent. But really, I think it was simply that after taking the class I can look up at the heavens and think, "…You know, I kinda get that."

National Weather Service See what the National Weather service is predicting here
24-Hour satellite Watch NOAA's 24-hour satellite image here Real-time conditions See what Boulder's weather is like now at the National Center for Atmospheric Research here
The snow didn't start falling in Boulder County as early as expected Wednesday, instead arriving late in the afternoon -- just in time to bog down the evening commute and leave enough on the ground to complicate Thursday morning's drive to work as well.
By 9 p.m. Wednesday, 2.8 inches of snow had fallen in Boulder, according to meteorologist Matt Kelsch. He expected another 3 inches or so overnight, with most of Boulder County getting between 4 and 7 inches.
The National Weather Service only had forecast 3 inches total overnight.
The snowfall -- rare this winter -- was enough to put the city of Boulder on accident alert at 6:16 p.m., meaning drivers involved in minor, non-injury accidents were asked to exchange information rather than wait for a police response.
The snow was forecast to likely continue through 11 a.m. Thursday, with less than half an inch expected to accumulate this morning. The chance of snow should drop to about 20 percent Thursday night.
Snow began falling in Denver around 3 p.m. Wednesday, and some parts of the metro area could see as much as 7 inches of new snow by Thursday morning. The areas south and east of the metro area are expected to see the most snow.
A winter weather advisory has been posted by the weather service for the Denver metro area through 9 a.m. Thursday.
After this storm clears out, snow is not expected again until late Saturday night and into Sunday.
