A Springfield woman was cited Tuesday after she allegedly left the scene of a traffic accident on Shiloh Road near Seven Pines Road.
Kayla Hooper, 21, of the 800 block of North Eighth Street was westbound on Shiloh and missed the driveway she wanted. She stopped her car, backed up, and stuck a second vehicle that was behind her, according to a police report.
The other driver, Erika Rolando, 22, of the 1600 block of Seven Pines Road, told police that Hooper stopped after the accident, and she thought they were going to exchange information. But when Hooper went back to her car, she allegedly drove away.
Rolando followed Hooper and was able to get the make and model of her car and the license plate number. Police aired the information over their radios, and the car was found a short time later near Sixth and Laurel streets.
Officers stopped Hooper, who said she left the scene because she was scared and she didn�t think there was much damage to the other car, the report said.
She was cited for having no valid driver�s license, leaving the scene and improper backing.

"Whether we won or we lost, it's still Feb. 9 on the calendar," said head coach John Danowski. "We're not going to get too high over a win or too low over a loss. I thought we generated a lot of shots, we rode, and we cleared the ball well. I thought the special teams were good and we fought in the fourth quarter even though we were down. I think overall for Feb. 9 there are a lot of positives we're going to take away from this going forward."
The loss end Duke's 10-game home win streak and is the Blue Devils' first loss in a season-opening game since 1998. Duke (0-1) and Denver (1-0) are the lone two ranked teams to face off against a ranked opponent to start the 2013 campaign.
Trailing 8-5 at intermission, Denver scored nine consecutive goals, including four by Adamson, to claim a 14-8 lead with 11:46 left in the fourth period when Eric Law found the back of the net.
"I thought Denver did a good job staying with their two-man game and we didn't communicate some simple picks, but Denver that's what they do. It's very different and they do it very well. You can try to simulate it in practice, but if we made a mistake they made us pay."
The resilient Blue Devils rallied, netting four straight tallies as Jordan Wolf's fourth marker of the game pulled Duke to within 14-12 with 33 seconds remaining. Duke junior Brendan Fowler won the ensuing faceoff, but David Lawson's shot bounced off the post and Denver recovered the loose ball to seal the victory.
Wolf led all scorers in the game with seven points from four goals and three assists, while junior Christian Walsh contributed three goals and an assist. Adamson amassed five goals and one helper for the Pioneers.
Duke scored five of the game's first six goals and led by a 6-2 margin after one period of play. Three straight Pioneer goals to open the second quarter pulled Denver within one, but markers by senior Jake Tripucka and Wolf in the final 1:19 sent the teams to the locker room with Duke ahead, 8-5.
Led by goalkeeper Ryan LaPlante, Denver's defense held the Blue Devils without a goal for the entire third period and well into the fourth period. Wolf broke the scoring drought of 23:08 with his goal off a Tripucka feed at the 7:10 mark of the fourth period.
For Denver, Gordie Koerber and Wes Berg chipped in three and two goals, respectively, to go with Adamson's six points. LaPlante posted a career-high 18 saves between the pipes.
Freshman Deemer Class posted his first collegiate point with an assist, while Tripucka added two goals and an assist in the season-opening performance. A the faceoff X, Fowler finished the day with 18 draws in 30 attempts while goalkeeper Dan Wigrizer made eight stops.
Duke won the ground ball battle 33-28 with Chris Hipps, Bill Conners and Will Haus each picking up three loose balls. Both squads had two man-up scores with the Blue Devils' man-down killing three of five penalties.
The Blue Devils host Jacksonville on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 12 p.m.

Living Colors PAmCherry is a photoactivatable fluorescent protein (PAFP) derived from the red fluorescent protein mCherry. PAmCherry is non-fluorescent until it is exposed to 350–400 nm light. By selecting which cells or cellular regions to activate, you can track cells, organelles, or proteins of interest against a dark background using this photoactivatable fluorescent protein. The activated PAmCherry excitation maximum is 564 nm, and the emission maximum is 595 nm, which allows you to visualize and monitor photoactivated PAmCherry with the same filter sets used for other red fluorescent proteins, such as DsRed variants and mCherry.
Photoactivatable fluorescent proteins such as PAmCherry are particularly useful for determining protein half-life and protein transport pathways, because molecules synthesized after activation are not able to fluoresce. Therefore, what you observe is a snapshot of the protein molecules that were present at the time of activation.
PAmCherry subcellular localization vectors are available that target PAmCherry to the cell membrane, mitochondria, actin, or tubulin, respectively. Plasmid and lentiviral N- and C- terminal vectors are also available to create your own PAmCherry-tagged protein of interest.
PAmCherry sequence files can be found in the Documents tab below.
Switch on the red fluorescent protein mCherry in a subset of cells, proteins or organelles, in order to track their movement.

PolishLinux reviews PCLinuxOS 2007. "I must admit I am impressed by PCLinuxOS. And according to the distro slogan, which includes the two words 'radically simple', installation and configuration of the system is really easy, and the system is very friendly in everyday usage. Some of this 'radical simplicity' should be credited to hammered out details, and the system's elegant appearance (although this is a matter of individual taste). Regular users will find in PCLinuxOS everything they need 'out of the box'. Thanks to the consistency and the possibilities to configure the system with graphical tools (e.g. PCLinuxOS Control Center) this distro is close to ideal for those starting their adventure with Linux systems and migrating from Microsoft Windows systems."

GREENCASTLE — It's now a matter of continuing what they started.
Under first-year head coach Mike Rhine, the Greencastle-Antrim girls basketball team made its first postseason appearance since 1998, with the Blue Devils winning nine of their final 12 games en route to a 13-10 overall record.
Looking back, Rhine's inaugural campaign set a foundation for a program still attempting to take the next step, something G-A will try to do behind a wealth of young, up-and-coming talent.
In all, the Blue Devils graduated seven seniors from last year's roster — including starters Tache Smothers, Lauren Grove, Rachel Kline and Jenna Crunkleton — leaving junior Chloe Hoover as G-A's only returning starter entering the upcoming 2012-13 season.
Considering her experience at the varsity level, now in her third year, Hoover will be asked to assume a leadership role on a team comprised of four juniors, three sophomores and two freshmen.
"When you look at the percentage of production that we lost from last year, it's clear everyone has to step up," Rhine said. "Chloe and Katie (Gelsinger) are our only two girls with any varsity experience, so we have to be patient and play to our individual strengths. There is so much potential, but we realize that there are going to be bumps in the road."
After contributing valuable minutes as a freshman a year ago, Gelsinger will transition into a solidified starter, granting G-A a prominent presence in the paint.
"Katie gives us a quality post player who isn't selfish," Rhine said. "She has the ability to attack the basket, but also kick it back out to our shooters."
Perhaps the most noticeable change will be at point guard, with freshman Hannah Crist assuming the role previously held by Smothers.
"Hannah is a terrific ball handler with plenty of physical skill," Rhine explained. "Every time she steps onto the court, she is improving. She has some big shoes to fill, but she's capable of handling it as a freshman."
Jane Herman is slated to join Crist along the perimeter, continuing to build off last year's breakout junior varsity campaign.
"Jane is a solid outside shooter and a good defender," Rhine said. "She scored a ton of points on the JV team last season, so we're excited to have her."
The duo of Ashlynn Schaeffer and Abbey Pool will complement Gelsinger around the basket, sharing minutes at forward.
"Both Ashlynn and Abbey are very physical players," Rhine said. "They will help Katie inside, grabbing rebounds and boxing out."
Rhine is also expecting big things from freshman addition Meghan Hirneisen, along with reserves Shelby Stouffer and Lauren Powers.
"Meghan is going to be a great player, we just need to get her some time on the floor," Rhine explained. "Shelby and Lauren add to our depth at guard and both are extremely athletic."
With so many new faces, it's hard to predict how things will ultimately unfold over the next three months. One thing that is for sure — G-A's young cast will be asked to grow up very quickly.
"As many minutes as our younger girls are going to get right away, they're not going to truly be freshmen or sophomores anymore," Rhine explained. "They will be getting the same amount of playing time as a typical junior or senior, so they're going to get plenty of experience in the first few weeks. Once we get past that point, I honestly believe things will come together. If we can weather the learning curve early, we can still be right in the mix for a league title at the end."
The Blue Devils open their season Friday night in the annual Franklin County Tip-Off Tournament against the hosting Maidens of Waynesboro. The contest is set to get underway at 7 p.m. with the winner playing either Chambersburg or James Buchanan in Saturday's championship game.

ADRIAN TWP. — Concrete floors were being poured this past week at the Lenawee Intermediate School District's new Center for a Sustainable Future on Tipton Highway in Adrian Township.
The $3.9 million center will feature geothermal heating and cooling; a 56-kilowatt array of solar panels; an accessible vegetative roof; a 10,000-gallon cistern to collect rainwater for irrigation and possibly other uses; natural day lighting; and special attention to insulation, all aimed at making the building a "net-zero" energy consumer — meaning it will produce at least as much energy as it consumes.
"It's a state-of-the-art educational campus that embodies environmental sustainability," LISD Superintendent Jim Philp said.
The goal is not advocacy, but to give students a chance to study these systems and compare them to other, more conventional energy systems, Philp said.
"The whole Center for a Sustainable Future campus is really about learning," he said. "The building is just the vehicle to learn and study."
When the new center is done, the LISD Tech Center agritech and ornamental horticulture programs, now housed at LISD Tech on North Main Street in Adrian, will move to the new building full-time, Philp said. Some agritech classes already take place in older buildings on the site.
The new, 8,400 square-foot center includes an agritech classroom and laboratory, a horticulture classroom and a new greenhouse, as well as a meeting room and mechanical systems room.
Part of the roof of the building will be covered by photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight to electricity, and freestanding rows of the solar panels also are being built close to the building.
The northwest side of the building is banked against a large earth berm to take advantage of the earth's insulating qualities.
There will be 13 geothermal wells sunk 350 to 400 feet to circulate water to take advantage of the deep earth's constant temperature for heating and cooling.
The greenhouse will have automatically controlled ventilation panels and shades and in-floor radiant heat.
Water from the cistern will be used for irrigation and — if state permits are obtained — uses such as flushing toilets.
The agriculture program, which has used part of the 75-acre site for farming for 10 to 12 years, will focus on sustainable agriculture, Philp said. That does not mean it will all be about organic agriculture, though there will be units on that, he said. Students will have a chance to study the use of natural pesticides and fertilizers and compare them to more conventional kinds, as well as study other sustainable farming techniques, Philp said.
"Will we continue to teach traditional farming out there? Yes, we will," Philp said.
The horticulture program needed a new home because the LISD sold Jackson Community College the land at LISD Tech on which the horticulture building stands, Philp said.
While the new center is primarily aimed at LISD Tech students, it could provide study opportunities for students from throughout the county and will host some of LISD's science, technology, engineering and math summer camps, he said.
At least 80 students will use the new building every day, and many more on a part-time or occasional basis, Philp said.
He also sees the possibility of some post-secondary institutions — Jackson Community College or even Michigan State University — using the site for some programs.
Construction of the new center began in August and is expected to be done by late February or early March, Philp said. The LISD will pay for the project out of savings specifically for it, he said. The LISD also has grants from the Consumers Energy Foundation, DTE Energy Foundation and Robert E. Price Foundation Inc. to build the center, Philp said.
Clark Construction of Lansing is acting as the construction manager. LISD hired 22 separate contractors to do the work.
Philp said the new center was the vision of former LISD superintendent Steve Krusich, who retired in 2010.
Krusich said the LISD bought the 75 acres on Tipton Highway in 2000 as a space for its always popular agritech program to grow crops and experiment. He was always reading and researching new ways to help students in the job market, Krusich said.
"It became very clear that one of the emerging fields is around sustainability practices," he said.
That led to a general sketch of what the new center would look like by the time he left, Krusich said.
He is pleased with what has happened since then, he said.
"It is always gratifying when, as a school superintendent, things that you see as critical for the future seem to take root," Krusich said.
Phips said he expects the center to be fully operational by next fall. The dedication is expected to be April 22, Earth Day.
LISD Center for a Sustainable Future taking shape
ADRIAN TWP. — Concrete floors were being poured this past week at the Lenawee Intermediate School District's new Center for a Sustainable Future on Tipton Highway in Adrian Township.

So, I'm getting into a groove with my shiny new NBA 2K10 franchise... and suddenly the video starts having odd issues. Bars of yellowish tint across the screen. I turn it off, reboot the system. This time, there are random blue streaks and pixels, then there are both blue streaks and yellowish bars. Try again... This time, the console comes on, but there is no video. I turn it off... and the fan is still whirring away after it's turned off. Have to unplug the thing to get it to shut up.
So, I redo all of the connections, same issue... No video. No RROD or anything, but from what I'm reading online -- This seems to be part of the rash of video card failures the XB360 is now experiencing.
What a piece of crap. If it doesn't fail one way, it finds a completely different way to fail?
AND, from what I'm reading, Microsoft wants 99$ to fix it. A hundred dollars to repair a faulty console that may or may not still have a RROD crash waiting in its future?
What the hell? I mean, really. At the moment, I'm strongly considering a shift back to Sony.

Bring on the Red Sox
Some are suggesting that Blue Jays fans should hang their hopes on the results of this series. We heard the McCownless crew on Prime Time Sports last night pimping this series in Boston as the biggest in the team's recent history, possibly since the World Series years. And while we're loathe to question the hyperbole of any reporter who is sitting in front of an open mic trying to fill the air, we'd have to say that the notion that this series has that much significance is a load of hooey.
Which isn't to say that there is no meaning to this series. Indeed, we've been wondering as much as everyone else what is going to happen to this Jays team when it starts to dig into the dense part of its schedule with the punishing intradivisional games in the AL East. But the nice thing about the Jays' hot start to the season is that they could actually get swept in this series by the BoSox and still sit atop the division when the smoke cleared. (Not that we'd want to see a result like that, but we're just sayin'.)
A good showing in this series and on this road trip will go a long way towards convincing people that the Jays are for real. But we shouldn't take a poor showing to absolutely mean that they are not.
(Does any of this make sense? Goddamnit, it's hard to keep our thoughts straight with a head full of DayQuil.)

How awesome is this week going to be!
Let's get on this knuckleballer tonight.
As well I hope Delgado all the best in his recent surgery. Rumors say that is could be career ending. They are talking about hip replacements (aka Bo Jackson) type surgery.

Agh knuckleballs! It would be a great series for Snider to snap out of this mini-slump, I hear he eats knuckleballs for breakfast.

I think I recall the most important series for the Blue Jays in recent history was that September swing in Boston when they were around 4 games back of the Sox for the wild card.
You know, the series where Scott Downs slipped off the mound? We all remember that. Actually, we all are still trying to forget that. Time for redemption, boys.
- May 19, 2009 at 10:18 AM
- The Ack said...
I was actually thinking/hoping Fenway could be the launching pad for a Snider breakout.....but Cito will probably hold him back against the knuckler and Lester (assuming the face Lester?).
So, yeah...notsomuch.
- May 19, 2009 at 10:19 AM
- The Ack said...
update: facing Wakefield, Penny, Lester.
- May 19, 2009 at 10:21 AM
It will be interesting to see if Lind will get some time in LF this week. With the Jays in ATL on the weekend we will need Lind being able to track a fly ball down once in a while.
It will also be great to see the type of reaction Millar gets back in Beantown. I bet the Sox wish they had him over Ortiz right now.

- PRQ said...
I caught that PTS snippet, and they did temper the whole "meaningful series" idea a bit. They pointed out that everyone said the same thing about the Yankees series, and how picking up four wins against the White Sox erased any real meaning from the 1-2 record against New York.
So I guess the lesson here is... bring on the Braves?
- May 19, 2009 at 10:32 AM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Yeah, Brunt and Blair were willing to couch the importance of this series, while Bruce Arthur was hyping it up.
Which is why he works for the NatPost. (Burn!)
- May 19, 2009 at 10:51 AM
One thing is guaranteed: a Red Sox sweep will definitely result in posts from anonymous Sox fans.
- May 19, 2009 at 11:03 AM
- eyebleaf said...
A big series, but not HUGE and season-defining, by any means.
It's all the more important to maintain an even keel while we SIT IN FIRST PLACE.
Speaking of that even keel: PENNANT!!!!1

2 of 3 from Boston, Doc's start in Atlanta, and 2 of 3 in Baltimore.
I would be perfectly content with this version of a 5 - 4 road trip.
Of course I'd take 9 - 0 as well.
- May 19, 2009 at 11:18 AM
- Tao of Stieb said...
5-4 would be good, and frankly, 4-5 wouldn't be the end of the world.
It's a road trip, after all.
- May 19, 2009 at 11:55 AM
Much of the AL East last year is pretty close to .500 records against each other (except Baltimore which sucks, and except TB beating up on the Jays 11-7). I think we can accept that the Jays are unlikely to win all their series against AL East teams this year.
So, yeah, kind of hard to say that a May series against the Sox is somehow defining of what they will do this year. The main thing is to keep nailing the rest of the shitty AL, and keep our heads above water with Yanks, Boston and TB.
- May 19, 2009 at 12:07 PM

A commenter posted this on my blog today, it's from The Globe and Mail:
"Since 2002, the team that has been in first place after 40 games has gone on to win the East three times and claimed the AL wild-card spot in another season. Since 2000, the best 40-game record by any AL East team was the 2002 Boston Red Sox's 29-11 record - and that team is one of just three this decade with a better 40-game record than the current edition of the Blue Jays."
- May 19, 2009 at 12:09 PM
The Blue Jays have to take at least one this series. If this is a sweep, you won't hear the last of it from the pro-Yankee and pro-Red Sox contingent on ESPN down here in the US of A. Many are stillscoffing at the Jays and this will be an opportunity to point and say how unreal they really are....If they take 2 of 3, then they can pump out their chests, BUT if not.....the Anti-Jays crowd will come out in full force down here like they did when the Yanks took two of 3 at the Skydome.
- May 19, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Big Game Tonight!!! It will be funny to watch are relief pitcher embarass bostons lineup!!

I made a nice shit sandwich for those bean town mick's to enjoy, while toronto sends pappi to retirement and the dead sox emurge

This could be the bellwether series for the Jays this season!

Anyone notice that if lind grew long hair, a beard, and 200 pounds he would look just like john kruk
- May 19, 2009 at 1:26 PM
I hope papi doesn't get his first home run off the Jays.
And Tao, you and Ack both have colds. I would love to see one of your french kissing sessions in person.

it's one thing to call it an important series that can change the picture of things for now. it's a completely different and fucking stupid thing to say the entire season is resting on a 3 game series in mid-may.
stupid primetime sports.
- May 19, 2009 at 5:13 PM
OK,I get it. Tao referring to "Mrs. Tao" is a thinly veiled reference to "the Ack." Now the recent Damon article makes more sense. In 2004 the Ack, aka Mrs. Tao, was a closeted Red Sox fan, who liked to stroke his Johnny Damon figurine before crawling into bed with Tao. Eventually, the Ack renounced the Red Sox and soon after he and Tao were married. The timing seems right for this kind of thing. I see says the blind man.

In honour of Brian Tallet's overall awesomeness in terms of pitching ability, quotability and facial hair, I have taken to pronouncing his name "Tall-ay", much like Target stores in the US are pronounced "Tar-jay", in order to lend cachet and complexity to something cool, yet simple.
If the Tao of Stieb likes this, it can use it, as it has already dubbed this year the Summer of Tallet. Or should I say, Tall-ay.

Hey Tao, Pedroia and Bailey were doing a little "Gaston and Alphonse" act there at one point last night. Made me think of your Tom Cheek tribute.

This storm has surpassed even the higher end of our expectations last night. Towns near and North of 104 have recorded nearly 20" of snow and a few may end up with 24" by Friday morning. The city has a solid foot or more now with moderate snow and wind gusts near 30 mph at 8 p.m. We expect another solid 3-6" of fluffy snow to fall from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. in the area with the highest amounts occurring in towns North of the thruway.
This event will probably go down as the one to remember this season given the duration and amounts. Roads will remain snow covered and slick through much of Friday even when the snow ends. Temperatures will stay in the single digits all day tomorrow with wind chills between 0 and -15. The record minimum high for Friday is 8 degrees set in 1981.
Stay safe and enjoy the storm you all wanted!

Hello loves,
Auckland was beautiful. It's a gorgeous city with lots of park spaces and funky little avenues and tall buildings and old trees and statues. We left the city a few days ago and have made our way to Welly over the last few days via Coromandel and Rotorua.
We spent quite a bit of time in Albert Park on the way to and from our hotel and town, so I wanted to leave a little something there. Two little yarnbombs – a sexy pink fishnet and a sassy pink flower.
I've only been in NZ for a week (I think…) but I've already learned a thing or two, cheif among those things is that fire alarms sound different here from at home.
This was a lesson of Auckland at 3:30 am when big brother came speaking at us through the ceilings and walls "The fire alarm has been activated in another part of the building. Please stand by for directions. The fire alarm has been activated in another part of the building. You may evacuate if you wish." He repeated this for about 3 minute and then, "The fire alarm has been activated. Please evacuate the building."
So there we were, marching down 19 flights of stairs (me with my crocheted monkey and our passports) and out into the rainy night with all the other hotel guests and renters. And there were 7 fire trucks. And this is where I noticed that I had forgotten my knitting… slight panic hit me, I won't lie. And when they had it all cleared, we had to march our sleepy asses back up to the 19th. That was fun, because by the time we got back up there, although we wereexhausted, our hearts were beating and our (my) adrenaline was racing and I couldn't fall asleep. So instead I listened to Auckland on a Saturday night. Lots of laughing and crying and even a random haka.
More posts coming soon…
knitified* out.

LMK which rail you want.
LMK which rail you want.
ill take a pump milled AM/MM rail
I'll take a RTP rail please.
I took the road least traveled...now where the hell am I ?
^I like it
looks good to me.
I want it for sure.
OK, I'll change the AM slot as shown and do a two hole slot on the RTP version.
Sweet deal your the man Luke
For sure it's way better than adding 2 RTP holes on my AM rail.
Great upgrade !
Last edited by maverick13; 10-22-2013 at 03:44 AM.
maverick, I've made a note to refund the dollars for that...
Cool, man.
Thanks a lot for this.
AM Armada, invoice me. Thanks!
I'll take a AM pump milled.
Discount pricing closes thursday 10-24-13 at 12-noon mst.
If you currently have an unpaid invoice it is good until then.
Pump milled AM please.
Currently machining pump slots.
Luke, can you take a pic of the RTP sear pin hole? I would like to see how it fits with the milling, thanks.
I am interested in a pump milled warp right rail, I am not sure if I want RTP or AM though, if you could get me a pic of the passenger side of the RTP it would help.
Sorry for being a pain
Last edited by El Zilcho; 10-22-2013 at 06:17 PM.
I don't have any rails to get a photo of, I sold and shipped the rails that are machined.
You'll never have a perfect scenario with this type of machining on the side, but with that said it does not look bad to me. It sticks out a little, but the pin tip can be ground a little for it to sit deeper in the rail. (Grind the tip that goes in the rail first) But even without that I think it's OK.
I was more concerned about a hole in the middle of one of the peaks as opposed to one of the valleys. I am annoying about things. I have faith in your judgement though, I will take a warp right pump milled RTP rail. Send me an invoice when you get a chance.
Two cuts go through the sear hole, it's just how it worked out, if you are that picky you may not like it. A sear hole in that valley would expose too many threads in the sear pin, it's pretty deep.
LMK if you still want one...
Money sent!
Last edited by El Zilcho; 10-23-2013 at 06:25 PM.
Got my rails in today and I must say you did a great job on these Luke...options for all bodies w/ the pim hole milled out for classic, emag, and other aftermarket bodies...now with you adding the slot milling up front...must say top notch if your on the fence about getting one of these you will not be dissapointed... thanks again
Hey Luke I want one. Pump milled AM. Just joined the forum, have no idea how to do this.
Ongbak_MAG, invoice sent.

The second finalist was interviewed Wednesday by the Tecumseh Board of Education. Sean McNatt, superintendent of Breckenridge Community Schools, is one of three people seeking to become the new superintendent of Tecumseh Public Schools.
Michael Osborne, superintendent of Hudson and Morenci schools, will be interviewed at 7 p.m. today in the administrative services building, 212 N. Ottawa St. Osborne is also scheduled to interview for superintendent of Holly Area Schools on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Kelly Coffin, assistant superintendent and director of instructional services at the Lenawee Intermediate School District, was interviewed Tuesday.
The board has set a special meeting for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, to decide the next step it will take. President Ed Tritt said Tuesday that step could be a site visit if the board feels that is necessary.
After spending the day meeting with the school district staff and the community, McNatt sat down with the board. He said he was impressed with the community.
"There is a great deal of pride in the community for the school district and the culture," he said. "I don't always get that same feeling out of Lansing. I don't think our legislators feel that same sense of pride in public education."
The second round of questions was more specific, designed to help the board learn the candidate's style and leadership ability. Questions dealt with the direction public education is taking and how the new superintendent would help guide the school district.
"I've done very well with the finances of the Breckenridge school district. I've been a very good steward of that," McNatt said. "But it is not just 'I,' because I can't do everything. It is a team effort."
McNatt said if hired, he would be in Tecumseh full time by July 1. He will spend the month meeting with staff, community leaders and board members. He favors working with a strategic plan, noting Tecumseh's plan was dated 2005.
"I would want to find out where the board is on that plan," McNatt said. "It becomes a tool not only for me to get to know the organization, but for all of us to have the same vision."
The first three months of his tenure would consist of a lot of questions and a great deal of listening. Once he gets information and a feel for the school district, McNatt said he intends to put a plan of action together to achieve one goal.
"My vision is each child shall receive a quality education from Tecumseh schools," McNatt said. "We can start breaking down and determine how to accomplish that with the nuts and bolts."
Saying he is uncomfortable promoting himself, McNatt said he prefers collaboration and working as a team. He said a superintendent has to use different styles of leadership to help students and teachers succeed.
"I was already promoting Team Breckenridge," he said. "This is a team. We act as a team, we have success as a team, and we work on our failures together."
A superintendent has to be involved in the community and develop strong relationships with the community and business leaders, McNatt said. Plus, he or she has to be able to take advantage of the diverse talents and strengths of school board members.
In recent years, a steady exodus of students from Tecumseh schools has occurred. When asked how he would stem that, McNatt said he had to deal with the same situation in Breckenridge, which had declining enrollment for about eight straight years. He discovered the reasons were varied, but made it a practice to hold a face-to-face meeting with the student and family to learn the reasons for a transfer.
"When a student starts to transfer, I would meet with the parents and ask them, 'Why are you leaving our school district?' If I couldn't meet with them one-on-one, I would call them," McNatt said. "If a student is going to transfer, they will have to come and see me."
Mike McAran is retiring at the end of the school year, ending a 47-year career, the last eight as Tecumseh superintendent.

Excerpts taken from original article at: http://www.nfl.com/preseason/story;j...o&confirm=true
Last year, not one division winner had a winning record in the preseason.
New England Patriots2-2
Baltimore Ravens2-2
Indianapolis Colts1-3
San Diego Chargers2-2
Philadelphia Eagles2-3
Chicago Bears2-2
New Orleans Saints1-3
Seattle Seahawks2-2
If you go back and look at the division winners over the last three years, it's clear that winning in preseason isn't very significant. There have been 24 division winners in three years and the number of those teams that had a winning record in the preseason: 4.
Lets take it a step further and look at the significance of an undefeated preseason. Carolina, Cincinnati and the New York Giants all posted 4-0 preseason records last summer, leading to heightened expectations from fans and media alike. Lots of people proclaimed the Panthers were headed to the Super Bowl, the Bengals could outscore any team in the NFL and the Giants were building a dynasty. All three teams finished 8-8.
Since 2003, nine teams wrapped up the August schedule 4-0 and only four of them produced winning record in the fall.
The Colts have won four straight AFC South titles and, of course, are the reigning world champions. Their preseason record during that four-year run is 5-12. In other words, nobody should be alarmed that they are 0-2 right now. The Eagles have won the NFC East three of the last four years; during those championship seasons, they managed to deliver a combined 4-9 summer record. The Panthers have gone undefeated in the preseason in three of the last four years. A perfect 12-0 and only once in those three years (2003) did it translate into a division title. The only year they didn't go undefeated in the dress rehearsal season was 2005 when they finished at 2-2. And they made the playoffs that year as a wild card.
Did the Saints' 1-3 record last summer leave anyone thinking they would be the story of the year in the NFL?

Washougal Washington Gold Prospecting
Local Gold Mining Washougal WA Click Here
The hunt for precious stones and metals from the ground has long occupied people looking to be successful. Washougal Washington gold prospecting has caused thousands of people to give up their lives and transplant themselves half way around the world to find riches. Whether it was Washougal WA gold prospecting in the Yukon or Washougal Washington gold prospecting in the jungles of South America, people have sought precious metals as a means of creating a good life for themselves. The rush to get in on Washougal Washington gold prospecting has not ended as the tougher economy has caused some to look back at older options for making a living. While the process can sometimes be difficult, Washougal WA gold prospecting can also be immensely rewarding in a number of ways.
Washougal Washington gold prospecting is the act of finding new deposits of gold for mining. There is a multitude of places where quite a bit of the precious metal remains. Even in heavily mined areas it is possible to still discover new yields. The actual process of Washougal WA gold prospecting involves a few different options. The oldest and most common is panning for gold. This usually involves Washougal Washington gold prospecting in areas near rivers and bodies of water to see if there is gold among the sediment. This sort of Washougal WA gold prospecting is possible for people on a budget, or who are looking to do it as a hobby rather than a full blown career. It is the easiest and the cheapest, but to find a larger yield a person will have to go deeper. The next level of Washougal Washington gold prospecting is to dig down into soil deposits. Drilling and trenching are the common way to search for placer gold at deeper levels. Placer gold is found in alluvial deposits, meaning in the sand, dirt, or mud of an area. Washougal WA gold prospecting in these places can be a little easier because there isn't as much digging through harder materials. In fact, this type of Washougal Washington gold prospecting has become extremely popular in many areas for recreational purposes.
Hard rock Washougal WA gold prospecting is a slightly different method. While it still involves searching for deposits in a specific area, this type of Washougal Washington gold prospecting uses different tools. Hard rock deposits are actually mixed in with other solid minerals rather than the loose alluvium dirt and sand found in many other locations. Tools for this form of Washougal WA gold prospecting can be as straightforward as a rock hammer and a hand lens. It can also become as complex as needing a heavy duty drill and a screening plant to work through the resulting rocks that result. While a much more complex form of Washougal Washington gold prospecting, it can also be much more rewarding. Washougal WA gold prospecting can be both a fulfilling hobby or career. Each requires a different level of investment of time and money. If a person is looking for an activity on weekends, then the purchase of a few gold pans to head out into the woods with will do. To become more heavily vested in Washougal Washington gold prospecting, there will be considerable more time and money involved. Either way, Washougal WA gold prospecting is worth considering as an activity for everybody.

Ouch that Mutha hurt!!!
I am no road runner I tell ya!!! I only signed up because it was a one time event.
I'm not sure how, but I ended up running 4 100's in 4 weeks. I wasn't even planning to. I owe it to my good friend and Dirty girl Xy Weiss. She ask if I would run Javelina with her. If I did it would make three in three weeks and I would run Mother road making it 4 in 4 weeks.
I knew I could run 3 100's in a row. I have done that a couple times. In September I ran 3 in a row, had three weeks off than ran the 4 in a row.
I just want to say thank you to Thomas Hill the RD and all the other people who helped with the race they were all very nice and helpful.
Many runners had crews, you were able to have your crew follow you the whole 100 miles.
I want to thank everyone who helped me don't remember names but you all know who you are. I know Thomas's crew was very helpful. I remember it being in the low 30's and I was cold and one of his guys gave me an extra jacket which was very nice.
I had no idea during the race I was going as fast as I was. I just hoped to finish in 26 hours. I must admit I was afraid of running 100 miles on asphalt. I wore my Montrail Hardrocks and they were great. I wore them during the 24 hour run in SF as well. Who says you can't wear trail shoes on the road?? I say you can!
It took my usual 6 hours to get into my zone. That's when my body & mind know yep she's doing it to us again 100 miles.
I came into the 50 mile check point in 10 hours and thought I'm doing pretty good. I didn't wear a watch infact all of past 4 100's I wore no watch. I ran in the moment and never thought to far ahead.
This race was special I was running for a poster to my blog anon-embarassed. He is fighting a drug addiction which I know he will win. I did it 12 years ago and now look at me.
There were points in the race during the night where I was so cold and I was suffering and just wanted to curl up inside a nice warm car and sleep. I couldn't I had to suffer because I know any amount of suffering I was enduring it was harder for anon. I had to stay strong and tough for anon. I had to beat that Mother road. Trust me I asked myself many times what the HELL am I doing running on this freakin road???? I'm not a road runner. I never run roads. Each time, I got the answer I was looking for. I'm running for anon-embaressed. If I can do this he can get clean & sober and he too can win the fight.
I also know my job in life is to inspire those around me so I just keep moving forward and stay positive.
I am so touched each time I run a race. I am so touched by the volunteers who spent all day, and night in the freezing cold to help us along the way. The small towns we went through. These people knew nothing about ultrarunning , they treated us all so well. Many of them saw me on the news the night before and said you're the famous girl we saw you on T.V. I stopped and got my picture taken with a lot of them.
Dan the weather man who interviewed me ran Mother road as his first 100 he finished. Great job Dan.
It was crazy running along the road there were times when you had no shoulder. and had to jump out of the way of trucks getting very close. I want to thank all the Law enforcment people for being there to help slow some of those people down.
It seems lately I am a second half runner. Once it got dark I picked it up this is where I noticed I started passing people. From mile 70 on I don't think anyone passed me.
As I got closed I had no idea what time it was. I thought maybe i might break 24 hours. I came through the finish line and was surpriased I ran 22:51 and was 4th place girl. I was so happy with my time.
I'm still amazed at how well my body & mind work together and I can do what I do. I believe it's positive thinking and all the prayers and positive vibes my friends send.
Thanks to all my friends for your kind words of encourgement and those phone calls and messages you all leave in my darkest hours in the middle of the night during my runs. When I listen to those it gives me the lift I need to keep going.
Anon-embaressed I ran for you and I kicked ass for you. Stay strong & positive just like I did during our run. I ran for you!!! You can stay clean & sober. I have faith in you even though I don't know you.

Great Job girl!!!!!!!
i'm very happy for you...one day you will be a trail goddess!!!!
- Ultra Okie said...
Congrats Catra on your 4th place finish! you are truly awesome. It was great to finally get to meet you and visit with you for a bit. thank you for being so kind and patient to visit with everyone and get your picture taken a million times. You are the real deal and I am proud to call you my friend and I am even more proud to have my name on the back of the finishers shirt from the Mother Road 100 with you. Yes, I got it done, my first 100. i look forward to the day when our paths cross again.
- Emily said...
Congratulations on the great finish! Your positive outlook is beautiful, and it was awesome to see you smiling at 84 miles as you came through our aid station.
Reading your blog, I'm not the least bit surprised you've managed to run four 100-milers in four weeks. A girl who can outrun speed itself can run any distance she wants -- especially if she's running as a coach for others who are racing their demons.
Thanks for your wonderful attitude, your generous spirit, and your lovely smile through it all. I know you inspired at least one of the other runners, because she was talking about you while I was pacing her Sunday morning. Anon-embarrassed is blessed to have found a friend like you.
- Jessica Deline said...
Catra you are seriously awesome. And inspiring. Way to be you!
- Shari Baby said...
Way to go!!! See - the road is nothin' for you to beat! Hey, I just got certified as a CrossFit trainer, and while listening to the metabolic conditioning part of the seminar I thought about you. The amount of miles you run - how does that effect your strength ? I would be interested in knowing for instance your 1 rep maximum of exercises like the deadlift, overhead squat, back squat or front squat, how many reps of pull ups do you have, how long can you hold an l-sit ? I know for sure you have the endurance thing down ;) just for my own curiosity and learning - since you seem to be the PERFECT specimen for the experiment - has running these long distance miles effected your fitness in strength ? There is much talk in the CrossFit community that endurance type of "cardio" diminishes your strength and power.....just want to be able to say "na-ahh!"
- olga said...
Ouch, that musta hurt! Don't underestimate yourself, you are a runner, trail or road is secondary:) Awesome!
- JeffO said...
Wow, Catra! You just raced more in 4 weekends than all my races combined this year!
You're an ultra-bot!
You're FAB-ulous!
You wore your hardrocks? Gosh, I left mine at home thinking they would be too hard for the road! If I had worn my hardrocks my feet would be in much better shape!!! Congrats on a great finish time, you rock! It was also great to finally meet you in person. You are a celebrity in our house!
Tonya (Whitney's mom)
- Catra said...
Hey Ju-
What are you talking about. I am a trail goddess!!!! ;)
How was the 24 hour run???
- Catra said...
Hey Ultra okie-
I was so glad to meet you!!! I am so proud of you! Great job out there. It was way to cold for this California girl so I had to run fast so I didn't freeze to death.
I want to say everyone I met in Oklahoma I met were awesome. Even those Billy Bobs driving down the road that pulled over just to see the freaky tattooed girl running down route 66. I thought for sure there would be an accident or two the way some of those guys stuck there head out and looked back at me while driving..LOL!!!
I want you to know if you and your girl ever come to Cali. I will give you the grand tour. I am proud to call you my friend Steve.
I want to thank everyone for making me feel like a rock star. I truly did feel famous and I loved it!
Love ya,
- Catra said...
Hey Emily-
Thanks so much! You were all so helpful. Was I still smiling in my delerium 84 miles into it!!!
It was lonely out on route 66 at night and boy was it cold!
You right, I did out speed myself. I ran so far away from that life and am happy I made it where I am today.
I'm so happy I inspired your runner. I'm happy she made.
I was hoping at least one person out there would think of me and push on knowing I had just run 4. I felt I needed to do that race to help others reach there goal.
Thanks for all the kind words.
- Catra said...
Hey Jessica-
Thanks so much!
...not sure what to say.
would love to jump in sea of jubilee and lavish you with the praise you deserve. you are such an amazing person and what you did for me is not only thoughtful - it's fucking awe-inspiring... mostly surreal and unimaginable from this loser's current perspective.
and truth be told i'd love to continue my merry blog posts of last week's flavor all gung ho and fired up for cleanliness...
...but i can't because i screwed up on sunday. i don't deserve your efforts. i deserve nothing less than the complete loss of everything i hold dear - if i can't stay clean when i have a rock star runner pulling for me then there is probably less hope for me than i first thought - it could be i am beyond the ability to just change.
Without the devastating effects of true love lost - i will just continue my selfish mannerisms.
in my naive younger years i used to just think, "those druggies are so lame - all they need to do is just stop." ...yea, if it were that easy i wouldn't be destroying my family, my health ...my life.
the negativity only increases the need for pseudo elation ...a viscious, viscious cycle. drugs truly are the devil in the most complete sense possible.
kids, don't do drugs.
this is probably the last time i will post any more mopey garbage here - this huge, online bucket of Catra's positivity is hardly the place for a drug addict's musings.
catra - thank you for dedicating that race for me. i feel really low for not being able to even stay clean during that... i am even more embarrassed with my life than I was before i came here...
thanks again - you are a true, honest-to-goodness hero and you do and will continue to touch many lives.
it's looking grim - but - here's hoping someday i get my 'spirit' back.
- Catra said...
Hey Shari-
Thanks so much!
Awesome job getting certified.
It really is something I want to do to.
My strength//I can only tell you this since crossfit I am running stronger than I ever have. I look stronger and people are telling me so.
I belive crossfit changed my life, well my running and has helped me by giving me the core strength I need to not get tired running 100 miles.
I can't do a pull up with out assistance but I'm getting there.
I haven't tried to test myself or my ability to push myself and see what my maximum reps of each exercise i can do.
I can only tell you I feel stronger. As you know everybody is differant. I seem to recover in between each race and do better the next.
I'm looking forward to start pushing myself more at crossfit since I don't run 100 miles until December 15 and that will be 42 hours through the wilderness for my b-day run.
Shari, I'm glad you made it through your flight. It really is safer than driving.
- Catra said...
hey olga-
You rock!! I'm just trying to get fast like you! You are an amazing runner and Mom.
- John Henry said...
Thank you for your dedication, your inspiration, and your attitude!
- Catra said...
Don't give up the fight!!! Don't let drugs win.
It's not supposse to be easy.
Everything in life is a challenge. I thought back in the day no F ing way could I stop.
Sometimes it takes a little while to get it. You will get it, I know you will I have you in my thoughts and prayers. You will do it.
Please don't give up.
Could you please email me through my yahoo so I can continue helping you.
I know what you're going through it just seems really bad it will get better and you are not a loser.
I want to be your friend and help you in anyway I can.
here is my email.
don't be afraid to email me. email@example.com
Email me and I will give you my cell number if you need to talk to me.
You are not a loser!
- Catra said...
hey john henery thanks you made my day!
- Catra said...
Hey Tonya-
It was great meeting you!!! I'm so proud of you for finishing.
You did it!!!
You are a great Mom, I can tell because you have a great daughter.
Congrats. to Micheal too. He's on a roll.
So what will be your next hundred??
It's crazy but my feet were fine not one blister. I did change into my Continental divides at mile 85 big mistake my feet killed me the rest of the way.
My feet felt so protected wearing the hard rocks.
Hope to see you again. Rest up and enjoy your week.
- Shari Baby said...
Hey Catra,
I fully agree that Crossfit makes you a better runner without a doubt. I put this to the test and PR'd in every race only after doing CrossFit for 1 month! What I was wondering if running so much has hindered your fitness at CrossFit or not. Seems the one common thread of theory is that endurance sports can hinder your overall fitness. I say not necessarily true 100% of the time - for instance, you can run distance even after starting the xfit routines. At the SJ gym, do they ever do max loads in their classes with you as a starting point ? I would be super interested to dive into your abilities as a super endurance goddess mixed with strength moves. Don't worry about the pull ups...when you get the kip down, they come really quick and you think to yourself "wow...I GET it!" I max pullup at 26 or 28, but am working to get to 30. The kip is HUGE...practice it and you'll have it. I'm glad Randy introduced you to Xfirt because it will without a doubt make you a better athlete....almost like cheating ;)
- Eudemus said...
Awesome job! 4 in a row and 100 on the road. I can't even imagine doing 100 road miles, I think my feet would explode! Maybe I need to try my Hardrock's on my next road run.
You truly are inspiring and I think what you are doing for "anon embarrassed" is great. Let him know that there are others here pulling for him. No addiction is ever successfully defeated in a single try. Just as it takes time to acquire an addiction, it takes time to rid oneself of it. Failures and slip-ups are part of the process. Sometimes, until you can see a screwup as just that, and not as a total backslide to where you were, you won't have confidence that you are truly past it.
Stay strong, anon.
Catra, you're truly amazing and inspiring in passing through all these 100 miler suffering. And it was tears and (more) joys in return. I'm also touched by your cause to run Mother Road.
I complained about the paved road in Helen Klein 50M and Silicon Valley Marathon. Now I feel this is nothing compared to what you have had in MR100. Hats off to you.
Great 22hr finish after a series of weekly 100 milers!
Hey - congrats on another awesome accomplishment, Catra! I wish I could have been there with you. Maybe at a 100 next year? (PS - won't be doing the Quad either, darn it. Adam will be running and I'll be volunteering at the start/finish with the kids. We didn't want to shell out all the $$ for a babysitter.)
- GuruParkash said...
Catra great job, you are made to inspire!
To Anon: Never Give Up! Never Surrender! If you fall down get back up! as many times as it takes!!! Many of us have been down that road. Ultimately it is up to you! I did… and I have seen many others do it also. Keep up you can do it!!!
- christine said...
Great Job Catra!
- Catra said...
Hey Shari-
I too have run faster times since doing crossfit for a month. There's no way for me tell if it hinderd my level of fitness at crossfit. I have nothing to go on.
Or to compare to.
I'm not sure if endurance sports can hinder your overall fitness.
That's my sport ultrarunning. Crossfit just helps me become a better ultrarunner.
I do believe I am differant than most ultrarunners and if you read my blog you know I am. I recover faster than anyone I know.
Infact had I known about this 48 hour race in Texas this weekend I would of been there pushing my limits once again.
Shari I believe a lot of what we do is mental well for me with my ultrarunning. The more positive I am the better I run.
If you want to test my abilities and see what I can do I'm into that. let me know.
Have a beautiful night.
- Barefoot Ted said...
That was one hell of a race.
I was getting a bit bummed with all the road kill. I tried to use it like those old buddhist tapestries that have decaying bodies. One is supposed to reflect on the decay and somehow find a path to nirvana.
As I thought about that, I instead decided to just stay out of the way of all those trucks and cars.
At times this race was really scary, I mean NO shoulder. I kept trying to find any sweet spot I could. I was so determined to run the entire race barefoot. I knew it could be done, but it wasn't meant to be.
I am so glad to see you did so well, and I am very impressed with how quickly you are able to recover. And that is another aspect of ultrarunning that I really love: gender does not play an issue in performance...especially as the distance and time increases.
- Rajeev said...
Way to go girl! You are a phenomenon!!! 4 100s in 4 weeks? Wow!
- Rehabcourse said...
I recently published an article on drug rehab – here is a quote from it, in case you are interested:
Here are some alternatives you should think of:
Free standing inpatient drug rehab program – short term program for less severe addictions;
Inpatient drug rehab program – rehabilitation unit – for severe mental and physical disabilities;
Inpatient drug rehab program – detoxification unit – in general this program takes place on an outpatient basis, but sometimes withdrawal from either drugs or alcohol presupposes extreme measures to prevent relapse. It is important to help patients to change their old habits, and this may happen only through a longer-term disruption from the environment where everything remembers them of the urge to return to the substance of their addiction;
Long term residential drug rehab program – is important for those who would relapse easily (youth, chronic addicts, patients with more than one diagnosis etc.).
If you feel this helps, please drop by my website for additional information, such as drug addiction rehab information or additional resources on free drug rehab .
