A rainy day at Cherry Falls on the Elk River in the unincorporated community of Cherry Falls outside Webster Springs, West Virginia, USA
Thomas R. Fletcher was born and raised in West Virginia. In 1982, he launched his career as a freelance photographer, and has been traveling the world since. Thomas has been taking photos as long as he can remember. The first was of the tree-shaded, moss-covered banks of a spring, deep in the mountains, where his grandmother drew her water. He was less than 18 months old. He made a mental snap-shot of that green, peaceful location that he carries with him to this day. That mossy, green place of solitude brought a special feeling of peacefulness to his spirit,a feeling he often seeks to repeat in seeking new images. It was not until he was nineteen years old that Thomas realized he could permanently...

EUGENE, Ore. -- Barbara Nwaba finished 12th with 5382 points in the NCAA Championship heptathlon, earning All-American honors bestowed upon the top-12 finishers. Thursday was the second day of competition at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field.
Nwaba was in fifth after Day One but was unable to post an event score over 800 points on Day Two. She began to fall behind the the long jump, where her mark of 17'5.50" (5.32m) only mustered 648 points. She rebounded with 578 points in the javelin, which is notoriously the lowest-scoring heptathlon event, after a good throw of 116'0" (35.35m). Her 800m was also solid but not quite up to her usual standard, as she clocked a 2:22.12 for 795 points.
The top eight overall finishers and the top eight American finishers received All-American honors, and unfortunately the cutoff for American athletes this year was 11th place. Nwaba's 5382 points were only 33 behind the 11th-place finisher.
Nwaba's performance caps off a season where she won the Big West Conference Championship in the heptathlon, with a UCSB record of 5552 points.
Three Gauchos will compete at the NCAA Championships tomorrow. Ryan Martin will run in the 800m final after setting the UCSB record in the preliminaries, Julian deRubira will run in the 3000m steeplechase final in the preliminaries, and Kayla Smith will look to build on her 51 foot personal best in the shot put.

Dirty Literary Love Letters Written by Famous Authors
When authors pen love letters, sometimes they can get a little scandalous. After all, we know that great authors can tend to be a little dirtier than your average swooner, and what better place to let their freak flag fly than in private correspondences they never dreamed would go down in history? If you're lucky, this Valentine's Day will bring a plethora of long, handwritten love letters for you to peruse by candlelight, but since you probably aren't that lucky, we've collected a few of our favorite literary love letters for you to read by the soft glow of your computer screen. Some are flat-out obscene (Joyce, we're looking at you) and some composed of more subtle and suggestive flirting, but all of them are titillating, romantic, and of course, exceedingly well-written. We're not saying that you should necessarily pick up any tips for when you write tonight's Valentine's Day card from these, but then again, if your lady if a Flaubert fan, it might be exactly the ticket. Click through to read a few of our favorite scandalous correspondences between great authors and the objects of their affection — but reader be warned: as you might expect, colorful language abounds.
From Gustave Flaubert to Louise Colet, 1846:
A love for the ages.
"I will cover you with love when next I see you, with caresses, with ecstasy. I want to gorge yu [sic] with all the joys of the flesh, so that you faint and die. I want you to be amazed by me, and to confess to yourself that you had never even dreamed of such transports… When you are old, I want you to recall those few hours, I want your dry bones to quiver with joy when you think of them."

UED6048, New August 1980
Missouri CourthousesContact and other information about this county is available on the National Association of Counties website, http://explorer.naco.org/.
Jasper County's first courthouse, a one-story building on the north side of the square in Carthage, was built by Levi H. Jenkins for $398.50. He completed the building June 29, 1842.
The square also was the site of the next courthouse. Plans were presented to the court in July 1849 by John R. Chenault, superintendent. He was allowed $15 for the plans and specifications, which were furnished by S. W. Walcott; however, the order was rescinded Nov. 28. Gabriel Johnson then built the courthouse; the record is not clear about whether Walcott's or Johnson's plans were used. Costs of the two-story, brick building came to $4,760 (Figure 1). The first story was used for Circuit Court room and offices, the second story for jail and offices. The courthouse was completed July 10, 1854. Used as a hospital during the Civil War, it was destroyed by fire in October 1863.

For the next 30 years the court moved into a number of temporary quarters: a school, a remodeled jail, a two-story building on the west side of the square and a Baptist church converted for the court's use.
Officials took steps in 1891 toward building two courthouses, one, a joint Carthage-Jasper County project costing $100,000, the other, a special $20,000 project at Joplin for holding Circuit Court. This did not materialize because Webb City residents, who had not approved of the proposition, challenged the election on the basis of a technicality in the voting procedure. The protest ended in the Supreme Court, where the decision required that the issue be resubmitted to the people. In May 1893 the tax funding the building again received an affirmative vote.
The city and county shared costs equally for the $100,000 Carthage courthouse, and the city was to be granted the use of not less than four rooms. Officials accepted the plans of architect M. A. Orlopp, residing in New Orleans at that time, for a 106-by-133-foot building constructed of native Carthage stone.
The large appropriation and opportunity to bid on two courthouses at the same time attracted at least 16 architects, some with national reputations. According to the Carthage Press, Orlopp had built 10 or 12 courthouses, the most notable in Dallas, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana, both costing several times Jasper County's appropriation. L. W. Divelbiss, Olathe, Kansas, submitted the low bid for Jasper County's courthouse of $91,600.
The cornerstone was laid Aug. 21, 1894. However, a strained relationship had developed between the architect and the court-appointed superintendent of construction, Nelson L. Damon. The dispute spread to the community, creating factions and resentment. Construction proceeded at such a slow pace the townspeople became impatient, then angry. At the height of tension one group called for Orlopp's dismissal. Damon had reservations about Orlopp's specifications; Orlopp did not trust Damon's judgment and threatened to resign if Damon continued to represent the court. The newspapers carried accounts of the dispute, quoting both sides, but generally sympathetic to Damon.
In spite of the problems of conflicting personalities and questions of judgment, the building was dedicated Oct. 9, 1895 (Figure 2). The courthouse, one of Missouri's finest, has remained a source of pride for Jasper Countians ever since. It is now included on the National Register of Historic Places.

European GP 2008
Saturday Team Quotes
Felipe Massa (1st, 1:38.989): "It's great to be on pole position, especially after the great disappointment of Budapest, but I'm well aware the race is tomorrow and so there is still a long way to go. My first run in Q3 was very good and on the second I made a good improvement in the first sector and that's where pole came from. Today, the track was still very slippery, partly because of last night's rain. After this morning's free practice, I thought the harder tyres would be the most competitive in qualifying, but at the start of the session, I didn't feel as comfortable anymore and so we went for the softer compound. The team did a great job in preparing for this event and I want to thank them for giving me such a strong car. I hope we can have a good race tomorrow."
Kimi Raikkonen (4th, 1:39.488): "Fourth place is not what I was looking for, but it's definitely not the end of the world. I could have been higher up the grid but on my last run in Q3, I locked the wheels at a few points and lost valuable time: it was nothing dramatic, but at this circuit, a small error is very costly. I still think I can be in the fight for the win, especially if I manage to get a good start. We have a good car, which should be especially competitive in the race."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "We are very happy with Felipe's first place and he really drove very well. It was a shame for Kimi, who could have been a bit higher up the order, even though fourth place cannot be considered a bad result. All things considered, a good day for the team, even though we are well aware that it's the race that counts. Tomorrow, we can expect a sweaty afternoon and not just because of the heat! We will have to pay great attention in managing all the possible scenarios that could occur. The decisive factors will be the usual ones - reliability first and foremost, strategy, performance and the work of the team and drivers. On top of that there will be the unknowns that go with a track being raced on for the first time. For our part, we will do our utmost to try and bring home the best possible result in terms of the championship."
Luca Baldisserri, Head of Trackside Operations: "A good qualifying session, very close and made even more uncertain because of the weather. A first and a fourth place is a good outcome, even if it could have been better. Felipe did two great laps in Q3, while Kimi missed out by a whisker on being able to start from the clean side of the track. In fact, the start will be one of the decisive moments of the race. Tomorrow it will be important to try and pick up as many points as possible with both drivers. We have a car that is competitive over a long run and we will try and exploit that as well as possible. We must pay careful attention to managing all the possible scenarios that arise: as on all street circuits, the risk of a safety car period is always hanging over the race."
BMW Sauber
Robert Kubica (3rd, 1:39.392): "This was a very good Qualifying for the team and me. After some unlucky races lately the pace of the car here in Valencia is not that bad. However, there is still a small gap to Ferrari and McLaren. Qualifying went pretty smoothly, with only the weather a bit unstable. In the end there were only some rain drops in the second qualifying session, but this did not affect the result. The choice of tyres was pretty clear for me by yesterday: I went on the harder compound in Q1 and on the softer compound in Q2 and in Q3."
Nick Heidfeld (8th, 1:40.631): "Qualifying eighth is not perfect, but I think it was about the maximum possible today as the fuel load comes into play. In Q1 I thought it was d ©ja-vu when Timo Glock was in my way. Our team informs us on the radio how many seconds behind us a fast car is, and when we have to let somebody overtake. Apparently this isn't the case in every team. I was afraid my qualifying would be ruined, but luckily I was able to do a second lap straight away and it was good enough. Q2 was fine, as I was third fastest and could see the pace was there. Generally speaking I'm a lot happier with my car today. On Friday I was struggling a lot, but we have made a lot of changes since."
Dr. Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director: "On this new and demanding track Robert had a great qualifying again and fought his way through to P3 on the grid. Nick improved in the second part of qualifying and made it into Q3 with the third best time overall. His last lap wasn't perfect as he lost some time in the second sector. Anyway, eighth is good. What these positions are worth we shall see tomorrow during the first pit stops. We had no technical problems during qualifying."
Willy Rampf, Technical Director: "This was a very exciting qualifying. In the first part there were some rain drops, and in the second part the times were close. It's positive that we were able to get both cars into the top ten qualifying. Nick drove a very fast lap in Q2 and was able to qualify easily for Q3. Robert also had a very strong performance. Starting from P3 he is in a very good position for the race, and Nick will also have his chances. I'm pleased all the hard work we have done since the race in Hungary has paid off."
Fernando Alonso (12th, 1:38.435): "I am understandably disappointed with the qualifying session because I had other hopes for today. The race tomorrow will therefore be more difficult, but, as we are on a street course, anything is possible in the race. We must continue working hard this evening to try and work out the best strategy that will allow us to be ready for all eventualities tomorrow, such as a safety car period, which seems quite likely."
Nelson Piquet (15th, 1:38.744): "I am disappointed with my qualifying, and I could probably have set a better time this afternoon. I don't think our result shows our true pace because Fernando also failed to reach Q3 when we both had the potential. I will now work with my engineers and prepare for an aggressive race to move up through the field tomorrow."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "Considering all the preparation involved for this new circuit, it's very disappointing not to have any of our cars in the final part of qualifying. I am sure we had the potential to do so, but potential is not an ultimate result. However, I'm sure it will be an interesting race tomorrow. In the event here several weeks ago, we saw that the safety car can play an important role, and we will think hard about our strategy to try to make the most of our situation."
Denis Chevrier, Engine Operations Manager: "Our position at the end of qualifying is disappointing, especially as we thought we had done some good work yesterday and seen some encouraging results. But all is not lost and we will try and develop a strong strategy that will allow us to make the most of grid positions."
Nico Rosberg (9th, 1:40.721): "It's been a few races since we managed to get into the top ten, so this is a good result for us. We'd obviously always want to do better, but this shows we've made a step in the right direction and that's satisfying. We had a better understanding of where we had to improve, so we've made those changes which gave us a more competitive car today. We have a good strategy for the race so anything is possible. Today has been positive which gives me hope for points tomorrow."
Kazuki Nakajima (11th, 1:38.428): "It was a good qualifying for us as both cars are close in the midfield. It was a shame to miss out on Q3, but actually P11 is not a bad place to start the race from because we can select our fuel level. I'll also be on the clean side of the track tomorrow so, all in all, it was a positive qualifying session for us."
Patrick Head, Director of Engineering: "It's good to have at least one car in Q3 which we've missed for quite some races. Both drivers did a good job. Unfortunately, Kazuki just missed out on his first Q3 by the smallest of margins. The important thing now is to prepare for the race and make sure we're happy with our strategy. We're looking forward to tomorrow."
Red Bull-Renault
Mark Webber (14th, 1:38.515): "We've struggled for speed for most of the weekend. It's a new venue here, which brings variety to the positions, but we don't seem to have the pace we had a few races ago, which is quite frustrating. There were a few laps I was pleased with, but we didn't make it through to Q3."
David Coulthard (17th, 1:39.235): "I expected to be able to make it through that first part of qualifying. On my last run, I ran wide in Turn 5 and dropped about four tenths, although I pulled two tenths back, the net loss over the whole lap meant it wasn't enough to go through. It's just the way these qualifying sessions go. That was probably one my messiest sessions and I'm disappointed."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "A very disappointing qualifying. We seem to have struggled for pace here all weekend despite having been very fast in the last sector and it's frustrating for the drivers to finish in 14th and 17th. An incident filled race is the only way we're likely to achieve any points this weekend, so we'll wait and see. Congratulations to Toro Rosso who got both their cars into the top ten for the first time."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "A bad day and a bad result. It was bad beginning to the week with the plane crash in Madrid and the death of Dino Toso, chief aerodynamicist for Renault, which puts things in perspective. But, life goes on and coming back to our present work, we have to work like hell now to bounce back from here. We already need to be thinking about the next race in Spa."
Jarno Trulli (7th, 1:40.309): "After our difficult practice yesterday, we completely changed my set-up for today. Then we had a gearbox oil pump problem this morning that meant I could not try it out. So in a way I was driving blind this afternoon but I used my experience, I concentrated very hard and I made it through into Q3. I made a mistake on my last run but I am still very happy with what we achieved today. I'm also delighted with the way the car is developing and the fact that we can always fight for the top ten and score points. That is again our target tomorrow. It's important and realistic and it will be an interesting race. Here, more than anywhere, anything can happen and it should be a great event."
Timo Glock (13th, 1:38.499): "I don't know what went wrong but I just didn't get the lap together in the second session and that was that. We definitely had the chance to be higher, in the top ten, but it was a difficult qualifying in the end. For me the prime tyres seemed to work better but I struggled to get temperature into the tyres in the first sector of my last lap in Q2. So it was just not my day today. I had a heavy cold overnight and didn't feel particularly well, but no excuses. I think the car was good enough but it just didn't work out. Of course we will do our best to make up positions tomorrow. There could be safety car periods so we will aim to make the most of our freedom with the strategy."
Pascal Vasselon, Senior General Manager Chassis: "Altogether it has been a very difficult day and a disappointing qualifying result. Yesterday we had a very competitive Friday, especially with Timo, and now things have turned around. Jarno did a fantastic job because he could not run in P3 this morning due to a gearbox oil pump problem. But that did not stop him and all his laps apart from his last lap in Q3 were very good. For Timo, today was not as successful as yesterday. He was on the pace in Q1 but Q2 did not go as expected so we will have to investigate what happened. After the overnight rain the track was green again today but the tyre situation is clear. The positive thing for us is that we are in good position to defend against safety cars tomorrow and make sure that both cars are not caught out by the same safety car period."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Sebastian Vettel (6th, 1:40.142): "My best result ever so I am pleased, as it has taken a bit of time to improve on my P7 that I did in my first Grand Prix. It's been a fantastic day for us. We made some changes to the set-up overnight and they all turned out to be positive. The team worked hard to make the most of the data. We didn't expect to do this well here but it's a good thing to have both cars in Q3. My last lap should have been a bit better, but I made a mistake in turn 12, locking the rear under braking. Now we have to keep our feet on the ground, because there are a lot of laps ahead of us tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the race when I think we have a real chance to score points."
Sebastien Bourdais (10th, 1:40.750): "This wasn't bad. I am still having my problem of not finding grip on the "option" tyre, so we need to work on that. But I am happy that our performance is getting better. I'm really pleased to be in Q3 for the first time. It's a good feeling as I kept waiting to hear that I dropped down to 11 or 12! What we have seen here is that, on a new track, some teams have worked in the right direction and some have not. The team did a good job of giving me a car that was one of the best today. Now it is up to me to get the most out of it in the race. It's bound to be a tough race but I hope to be in a position to fight for points after making a good start."
Giorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: "We must be doing something right but I'm not sure what it is! Seriously though, this is our best qualifying performance with Sebastien making his first appearance in Q3 as we got both our drivers into the final part. The fact this is a new track meant we didn't have to pay our usual tax in terms of our drivers' lack of experience, as it was the same for everybody. We brought a few new things here and everything worked, so we can be happy."
Jenson Button (16th, 1:38.880): "It was a really disappointing qualifying today, particularly as we have been quick all weekend. My first run on the prime tyres was good but we simply chose the wrong tyre for my final run in Q1. I had no grip with the option and it just wasn't very competitive for us. My final run was slower than my prime run, which shouldn't happen on a circuit which is improving all the time. I'm really disappointed as we have improved the car but today we didn't make the most of that."
Rubens Barrichello (19th, 1:39.811): "It has been an incredibly frustrating day for us today. We were not able to find a balance on the car in practice this morning which affected our preparations for qualifying. This afternoon I particularly struggled with rear locking which cost me a lot of time as I wasn't able to attack the lap. It's very disappointing to be starting the first race here from so far back on the grid."
Steve Clark, Head of Race & Test Engineering: "Our free practice pace was genuine and we have definitely made some improvements to the car over the break and here this week. Today I felt we could have had one car in the top ten. Rubens has been struggling with the car all day and we never really managed to overcome those problems. Jenson however had the car working very well as we saw with his first run in qualifying when he was using the prime tyre. He then switched to option tyres but they didn't work at all for him and he could not match his early time. With the mid pack being so close he was just squeezed out of Q2 contention. From our grid positions the race will certainly be a challenge. If the car is working well tomorrow the drivers will be up against slower cars ahead and we think overtaking is going to be difficult. However race incidents are likely here. It could be very tricky off-line and, as we have seen from the other series, there are places from which cars are difficult to recover so safety cars are a real possibility. We now need to focus on making our strategy as robust as possible to ensure we are well-placed to take advantage of any opportunities."
Force India-Ferrari
Giancarlo Fisichella (18th, 1:39.268): "I really tried my hardest on that lap. I think I got the maximum out of the car and the best time we could do, and in the end we are only 1.3secs from the fastest time of the session. It just shows how close everything is now, but I don't think we could have done anything more. It was a fantastic effort from the team and the car felt good. It could be an unpredictable race tomorrow, so let's see how it goes."
Adrian Sutil (20th, 1:39.943): "The first run was OK, the track was improving and the grip level was getting better with every lap. On the second run I had a good lap, except for a small mistake in Turn 14 where I lost two to three tenths, but it was still not bad. Then on the last run I had some problems with the traffic on my out lap and couldn't warm up the tyres, so they weren't ready for the first couple of corners so I locked up in the first corner. That's why I couldn't improve my lap time, which was for sure disappointing as the final run is always the quickest and I couldn't improve my time. So last on the grid, let's see for tomorrow."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "I think a good effort from the team, and Giancarlo got the maximum out of the car in qualifying. It's the first race with our quick shift box and I think we have clearly taken a step forward in competitiveness and it's nice to start out-qualifying some of the works' cars in the progress. I am very proud of the team, now we are just 1.3secs from the fastest time of the day and really pushing to move into the midfield. For tomorrow's race we know there will be a lot of incidents and potentially a lot of safety cars, but we know our race pace is normally better than our qualifying pace so I think we can genuinely race with the midfield and look for a potential opportunity to score."
Lewis Hamilton (2nd, 1:39.199): "We knew we had a great car and we didn't have any problems during qualifying. I felt really comfortable, and I decided to qualify with the option tyre. My first lap wasn't perfect, and I lost almost one second compared with my second lap, but on my final lap everything went well. Second place on the grid is a good basis for tomorrow's race. However, Felipe Massa was significantly faster in the first sector, and I hope we'll be able to improve there tomorrow. Our team did a great job, and I'm confident we'll be strong."
Heikki Kovalainen (5th, 1:39.937): "The balance of my car was good and we improved continuously throughout the sessions. However I'm a little disappointed with my fifth place on the grid as I didn't make any mistakes and performed to the maximum. It's now up to us to score as many points as possible and make a good start from the cleaner side of the grid. Our strategy should help us to gain positions during the race."
Ron Dennis, Team Principal: "Today we saw another very good afternoon's work from both Lewis and Heikki, characterised by strong lap times that reflect their respective race strategies. All in all, therefore, we're well prepared for the first grand prix to be held on this exciting new racetrack. All the drivers did an exemplary job today, in fact, avoiding the walls in the tricky conditions. We hope that tomorrow's race will be equally incident-free, and that in time the Valencia event will become a regular, integral and much-admired element of the Formula 1 calendar. I would like to offer our congratulations to all concerned, and to the Valencia authorities in particular; with appropriate promotion, this Grand Prix promises to become a fabulous adjunct to our sport's existing harbour side spectacular, namely Monaco."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "A very exciting qualifying session here on this completely new and impressive circuit. Thanks to everybody involved for doing such a superb job in such a short period of time. I think we are well prepared for the race, and it will be interesting to see which of the frontrunners will drive the longest first stint tomorrow. Both Lewis and Heikki did a good job, even if Lewis unfortunately lost more time in the first sector than he is now behind the pole time. Our German friend Sebastian Vettel and his Toro Rosso team showed a great performance today - really well done."

I've been playing around with Link Diagnosis for the past few days and I like what I'm seeing so far. So what is it? Well thus far it is a free link analyzing tool that digs out a whole bunch of data on the backlinks of any given domain. So far you cannot analyze a "deep link", and only the main url at the moment, but from what I gathered on the Link Diagnosis Blog, that will be coming in the near future. This web based tool requires a Firefox plugin in order to calculate the anchor text used when linking, as well as other data it gathers. I highly recommend playing around with it yourself because you'll quickly see what a nifty tool this is for seeing the data you need in a visual way.
So as for what does this tool all do? To start it analyzes all your backlinks via Yahoo's Site Explorer, so no finicky Google reporting. The beauty of this tool is that it doesn't count all the dozens, sometimes hundreds, of backlinks from a single domain which really don't count. This makes for viewing everything much cleaner and faster! This tool also reports back with what anchor text you were linked from, and then makes a top list of all the anchor texts so you know what you need to work on. Link Diagnosis also uses a formula to give each page you are linked on a certain strength, quality score, trust rank…whatever you'd like to call it. The formula used for this is;
PR=5 , 10 outgoing links
Power(5+1,3) / 10 = (6 power 3 ) / 10 = 216 / 10 = 22
Strength is calculated as follows:
\n Strength = Power(PR + 1,3) * 4 / links
Link Diagnosis also reports on what your top linked pages are as well as the strength of those pages. I've been really watching my anchor text distribution for good measure and this has made my life a lot easier. To top it all off you also get a couple of nice graphs that show you your pagerank distribution as well what percentage of links you are getting…as in good, meh and crap. I've taken a screenshot of a report on Linkbuildr.
So all in all I can't wait for more from the folks who make this tool! I hope they come leave us all some comments on what's going on lately. As I write this they are working on an updated free version, as well as a paid version which will have a bunch more features…none that I'm aware of.

Since the beginning of the National Hockey League lockout, Mark Howell and the coaching staff from the University of Calgary Dinos men's hockey team have been generously donating their time and providing structured practices at WinSport.
Some days, the future looked good for their temporary charges.
Some days, it didn't.
But effort — and, for the most part, attendance — stayed the same.
"Nobody knew what was going to happen," Howell was saying on Tuesday after another on-ice session. "We treated each two weeks as a cycle because we didn't know when they'd be ready to go. Like everybody else, we all watch the media. And talking to some of the guys, they had a feel for where negotiations were at. There were weeks we were all optimistic, so we went harder. And then there were weeks where things went sour. But they didn't change their focus.
"They stayed working hard and working details on the game."
It was also a bit of professional development for Howell and his crew who have been spending three or four hours a few days a week to help lead the locked-out NHL-ers through formal whiteboard practice plans and helping them work on various aspects of the game. Players also had access to Hockey Canada's facilities and weight room at WinSport.
Which sure beats throwing the sticks in the middle for repetitive games of shinny.
"Guys talked," Howell said. "Some of the guys were at other camps, Phoenix or wherever they were. They all came back and said this was the best one. Not so much because of us, but because they had numbers and strength coaches. They had a lot more things in place that made it structured and more like a team setting. They felt they were getting worthwhile (workouts) out of the skate and not just going through a bunch of drills."
And it was definitely a lot better than what Cory Cross experienced when he was a defenceman with the Edmonton Oilers during the 2004-05 lockout.
Back then, the Dinos assistant coach hit the ice at a nearby arena with a group of teammates and some men's' leaguers.
"We just scrimmaged and skated around and got into a lot of bad habits," Cross said. "So, I figured it was a good call by these guys to have some practices and some organized stuff for them so they could stay in decent shape."
Having gone through the process himself — a "painful" ordeal that didn't end well for them that year — Cross could empathize with the players who were itching to play for real.
There wasn't much else to do but stay patient and hope the powers-that-be worked everything out.
And, for this year's group, the glass was half full on most days.
"I don't think anyone thought they were going to lose the season," Cross said. "At points during it, they thought, 'Oh maybe we're wrong.' But I think the optimism was always there."
Together, Howell, Cross, and Dinos goalie coach Brad Kirkwood chatted with some of the veteran players to organize the ice times to help them stay motivated while the off-ice issues between the NHL and NHLPA continued to drag-on.
"That's the one thing that was tough," Cross said. "Some days, the guys weren't into it. You just made sure you had some games and small area games. We made it fun for the guys to come so it wasn't just work every day. Obviously we threw in work days and then we'd have fun days.
"Just gave them a breath of fresh air, knowing that they were coming to actually work on their skills and not just skate around and play shinny."
On the other side of it, the experience was valuable from a coaching perspective as they were exposed to a high level of skill and players that can execute tactical exercises with ease.
Kirkwood, who also runs and owns Top Prospects Goaltending, also benefited by working with Flames goalies Miikka Kiprusoff and Henrik Karlsson, Edmonton Oilers' goalie Devan Dubnyk, and Anaheim goalie Jeff Deslauriers.
"I have a business here, so it added credibility to it," Kirkwood said. "These guys have been real great to work with, really receptive to new ideas and what I have to offer.
"The more advice and styles you can be exposed to, the better goalie you're going to be."
But it's back to reality for the coaches as the informal sessions are coming to a close. Ice times, which have been well-attended in the stands by Flames' coaching staff and braintrust, continue this week as players continue to prepare for the start of training camp this weekend.
Next week, it'll be business as usual for the U of C bosses and they'll get their mornings back.
"I've said all along that it wouldn't have been as enjoyable if the guys hadn't been focused or work hard," Howell said. "They've been really appreciative and that's fine. But their work ethic has been what's kept us motivated to keep helping them. If they weren't eager to keep going and get better, it wouldn't have been as enjoyable.
"But they've been great."

Commercial Cleaning Services Hamburg MN 55339The pressure from customers to reduce costs is greater than ever due to the current economic climate. Many companies are now reviewing overheads across their business and looking to see where savings can be made. In terms of office cleaning, reduced budgets will ultimately lead to a lower level of service, so it's about taking a logical, common sense approach that balances savings opportunities against critical business needs.Reducing the frequency of the office cleaning operation offers immediate cost savings, with some companies switching from a daily service to alternate days. However, some businesses have taken more extreme measures, which in my opinion is a mistake. For example, if a company is to introduce a deep clean just one day a week and then rely on its staff to maintain the cleanliness of the building for the remainder of the week, this will not only distract employees from their day-to-day roles, but also result in much poorer working conditions by the end of each week.Careful Planning Better planning offers a more effective alternative to simply reducing office cleaning across a business. One of the simplest ways of reducing costs is taking a close look at the overall office cleaning operation to focus resources to make the most of budgets. By classifying areas as either high or low profile it is possible to adapt the office cleaning regime to concentrate on critical requirements.Typically, areas such as the office reception, entrance, washroom, meeting rooms and boardroom are seen as high profile, whilst back office and administrative spaces are seen as low profile. Mind you there is still a fine balance, because cutting back too much on low profile areas can damage the working environment for office staff and have an adverse impact on workforce motivation.Therefore, companies need to undertake a range of initiatives to effectively remove costs from an office cleaning operation without incurring damaging side affects. Intelligent office cleaning is a way of understanding the needs of an operation to reduce the required hours through better scheduling.If a meeting room is often only used on certain days of the week does it need to be cleaned on a daily basis? Could it instead be cleaned every other day or only when it has been in use. With some clever thinking it is possible to streamline an office cleaning operation without impacting on levels of cleanliness, which ultimately removes additional costs. Daytime Approach Switching to daytime office cleaning offers a host of business and operational benefits including reduced costs, increased productivity and enhanced customer care. Additionally, reducing a building's opening hours, for example from 5am-9pm to 8am-7pm, will enable it to be locked down for longer periods, offering reductions in operational costs such as heating, air conditioning and security.Also, there is often a change in customer and staff perception when adopting daytime cleaning. The Increase in the visibility of office cleaning staff raises the overall awareness of the process, highlighting its importance and demonstrating the commitment to high standards. Building occupants tend to show more respect towards office cleaning staff when they see them working hard to keep the building clean, so greater care is often taken by staff and visitors as a result.Having office cleaning staff available during a building's opening hours ensures a consistent level of cleanliness throughout the day. With a traditional service, a building is likely to be clean at the beginning of the day and then standards gradually deteriorate until office cleaning staff return the following evening or morning.Daytime cleaning offers new levels of flexibility and the opportunity to respond to any situation. Office cleaning schedules can be adapted to better meet the needs of customers whether this is identifying operational peaks, or arranging job allocations based on the planned usage of meeting rooms. Moreover, it enables an immediate response in the case of unforeseen accidents and spillages, minimising the required clean up time and promoting a clean and hygienic working atmosphere.Workplace Hygiene The swine flu epidemic has brought hygiene to the forefront of people's minds, with companies and employees alike looking at ways of minimising the spread of the disease. What it has highlighted is the ongoing need for proper hygiene within the working environment to protect staff's health from dirty and germ-ridden surfaces and equipment. Therefore, any changes to an office cleaning schedule need to take into consideration employee welfare and the implications of any reduced levels of hygiene.The cost of absenteeism to UK companies is considerable, with 11 billion lost each year due to sickness, and this figure is likely to have been even greater over the past twelve months. A large percentage of that is due to bacteria and germs being picked up by people in the workplace.Desks and office equipment are in fact a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. For example, a toilet seat has on average 47 microbes per square inch compared to a telephone that has around 25,000 and a keyboard with 3,300. This is hardly surprising when you consider that toilets are cleaned regularly, but most people don't think about their office desk and the equipment on it. As a result, there can be up to 10 million bacteria on the typical desk, and this can include Ecoli, MRSA Winter Vomiting bugs and now of course Swine Flu.Regular sanitising of IT equipment and hard surfaces is a must to reduce the spread of bugs, viruses and diseases. Also, taking time to educate employees about the personal and business risks will encourage better personal hygiene and working practices.Waste Management Recycling is now an important consideration for all companies who are under legislative, corporate and social pressure to reduce the impact their operation has on the environment and wider community. Therefore, there is an opportunity to take an integrated approach with the office cleaning operation to adopt effective waste management procedures to keep time and cost pressures to a minimum.Over the past few years, the cost of dumping rubbish at landfill sites has been increasing 25 per cent annually, and this is unlikely to change moving forward. Therefore, there are wider cost savings available for those businesses that can achieve high levels of recycling. Companies can also receive money back for waste paper, so this represents an added kick back.By integrating waste management with an existing office cleaning operation, companies can benefit from added value resulting from efficient waste segregation and better-managed processes to make significant time and cost savings. It is possible to tap into the expertise of office cleaning companies to increase levels of recycled office and operational waste including paper, confidential paper, ink cartridges and food waste. Outsourcing And A Partnership Approach Some companies may consider that they can reduce costs by taking their office cleaning operation back in-house. However, organisations should not underestimate the knowledge and expertise possessed by office cleaning companies and the ability this provides to focus on core activity.Most office cleaning companies will have access to specialist cleaning equipment that offers added efficiency benefits. Battery powered, low noise vacuum cleaners are essential for daytime cleaning operations, whilst microfiber cloths not only reduce cleaning time and improve results, but also minimise the use of polish and other cleaning agents.There are also many hidden costs associated with in-house office cleaning operations. For example, companies will need to organise appropriate training for internal office cleaning staff and also take into consideration holiday cover. Furthermore, companies will not have the same buying power as office cleaning companies, so equipment and cleaning product costs will also be higher as a result.Office cleaning companies often widen opportunities to benefit from a multi-service solution. Many office cleaning companies are either part of a larger group or have partners in place to deliver an integrated service offering. Therefore, companies can access a wide range of complementary services to help achieve additional cost savings.Simply slashing office cleaning budgets is not necessarily the most effective means of lowering overheads, so it is worth taking a step back and considering all the options available and what issues need to be considered. What is important is that whatever steps are taken do not negatively impact on a business' core activity.
9 Reasons to Hire an Office Cleaning CompanyHaving a housekeeper maintaining your home fresh and clean on a regular basis and relieving you from the house chores you don't really have any time or desire for is a dream come true. Some people consider it as a luxury, and they're right to a certain extent, as not everybody is able to or afford house cleaning services or wants to spend his/her money on them. But, for the people, who decide to enlist the help of a professional house cleaner, it's a total necessity. There're a few things that come in hand with the convenience of hiring a specially designated person, essentially a stranger, to clear up the mess and make your home comfortable and spotless, though. It's not even the awkwardness of letting someone clean up after you, but the expectations and the attitude most people have to the profession. Here're the things an average housekeeper or house cleaner won't normally say to the people he/she works for, but would really like the clients to take into consideration. Things your housekeeper won't tell you 1. Unless you ask me, I won't bring my cleaning products Don't get confused here. Generally, occasional house cleaning professionals bring their supplies and cleaning products unless their clients ask them to use specific products they have at their houses if they have such a preference or need to stick to the specific cleaners due to the personal issues (most commonly, allergies). But, when it comes to a housekeeper, who works for multiple clients, she's not supposed to bring a bundle of products, brooms, mops and vacuums to your house. She'll use the supplies you have at home. Thus, the quality of her operation and the cleanliness of your home will depend on your conscious effort to provide her with everything she needs to keep your place clean. Some housekeepers aren't against buying the supplies for the client (when the expenses are compensated, of course), but they'll still store those at the client's house/apartment. 2. I'm not a cleaning fairy Yes, I'm a professional cleaner who has to know the job and perform at a high level. But, I don't have a magic wand to tidy the entire 3-story house in less than two hours. Do you want me to wipe down the windows, scrub your bathrooms, dust the surfaces, do the dishes and laundry, deal with your clutter and deep clean your carpet before your business partner's or spouse's parents arrive? Call me beforehand then, as I'm not a magic broom. 3. I'm not a dog walker/babysitter/grocery shopper/button stitching person either Don't get me wrong, if I'm on the good terms with my clients and I have free time, I may pick up extra chores occasionally. But, you can't expect me to do all the random tasks you're not coping with just because I'm there. I'll do what I'm paid for and what I'm qualified to do. Do you want someone to walk your dog? Find a pet walker/sitter or pay me to do that if I agree to. 4. A reasonable notice is highly appreciated Everyone understands that's quite rude not to let a hairdresser, a babysitter, a pool cleaner, a dentist or other kind of service provider know that you're going to cancel the appointment or stop hiring them in advance. Housekeepers appreciate the same treatment. And they totally deserve it. No one would like to waste his time to come to work to find out that it's canceled or to hear about the fact that he's fired and has no job without having some time to find another source of income. 5. I can't read your mind to figure out how you want me to do certain things It's completely understandable that different clients have different house cleaning approaches and may set certain requirements for their housekeepers. But, please, speak out and let me know if you need me to do something this way, but not the other instead of being disappointed at me, but not telling why. 6. I know stuff, but I'll keep my mouth shut I clean your house and know more that you may want me to. But, let's be real, you're the one who hired me for the job, thus you presumed that a complete stranger will go through your things to clean up your home. I may find the stuff in your kid's bedroom you're not even aware of. I might notice something you don't suspect or want anyone to know. But, unless it threatens someone safety, I won't tell anyone. 7. I don't deserve 'the look' I may not work as an attorney at a fancy law firm, a financial consultant or a popular interior designer. But, I work probably just as hard as you do to earn my money. And, unless you prove me wrong, I'm great at what I'm doing. So, don't feel like you're entitled to look down on me. Let's be kind and respectful to one another and appreciate each other's work.
7 Things a Housekeeper Won't Tell You, but Wants You to KnowHamburg MN 55339
Another service that adds value for a customer is conducting inspections after the janitorial services are provided. This takes cleaning accountability to a whole new level. The job of inspecting a building for cleanliness is very important. It can make the difference in keeping or losing an account.
We personally conduct all inspections and are thorough, fair and honest. After all, we would rather catch a problem before the customer does!
Office CleaningPeople, in good times and bad, are always looking for ways to make a little extra income. Too many believe they must work for someone else. But having control over when you work, where you work, and who you work for is the ultimate in having an enjoyable, happy life. And nowhere will you find an easier, inexpensive and faster business to start than an office cleaning business.One of the main obstacles for a lot of office cleaning entrepreneurs is where and how to get clients. Think small and think professionals. Some of your most reliable and consistent clients will be the small professional. Think doctor, lawyer, insurance agent. You get the picture! And why are small, professional business the best? Because they, too, have repeat clientele! They're not going to fold up their business. They have a lot invested in it. And people will still go to their doctor, dentist, lawyer and insurance agent, good times or bad. These professionals, though, are always looking for ways to cut costs and, therefore, are more open to entertaining a bid from you. Much better than residential cleaning, where in these difficult financial times, homeowners are cutting back on non-essential expenses, small professional offices are there to stay and looking for the best deal. Knock on doors, make phone calls and send out letters to get an appointment to do an estimate for cleaning their office. Before you know it, you'll be picking and choosing who and where you want to clean. Plus, you'll be putting money in your bank account weekly--maybe even daily!

Rocker Trace Cyrus is refusing to release a duet he recorded with his little sister Miley until he makes a name for himself in the music industry.
The 23-year-old singer, whose dad is "Achy Breaky Heart" hit maker Billy Ray Cyrus, has vowed never to exploit his connections to gain publicity or advance his career.
Trace has shelved the siblings' collaboration "Shot In The Dark" as a result, as he wants his band Ashland High to gain more recognition before fans hear the track.
In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "A lot of u (you) have been asking when is my duet 'Shot in the Dark' with Miley going to b (be) released. I won't be releasing the song till I feel like Ashland High has gained extreme success.
"I'm not trying to use Miley to help my music career at all. I did the song with her cause I love my sister. The song will b (be) released when the time is right I promise!"

The Southern Literary Messenger was in its time the South's most important literary periodical. Avowedly a southern publication, the Southern Literary Messenger was also the one literary periodical published that was widely circulated and respected among a northern readership. Throughout much of its run, the journal avoided sectarian political and religious debates, but, the sectional crisis of the 1850s gave the contents of the magazine an increasingly partisan flavor. By 1860 the magazine's tone had shifted to a defiantly proslavery and pro-South stance. Scholars and students of history, journalism, and literature can discern much about how the hot-button topics of slavery and secession were presented in southern intellectual and literary culture in the early stages of the Civil War. more »

Part 17
Over the next few weeks, we will together work through the entire set of analyses to figure out if Latin American Bank should enter the very profitable US retail banking sector. You can follow the study map and review all the videos. At the end of the this strategy training program you should be able to walk into any strategy assignment and complete the study accurately and with confidence.
We have a sleeping giant of a bank, a behemoth, which has developed specialized skills in managing risk when funding small entrepreneurs in Latin America. The bank has funded many Hispanics who take the money across the border into the US and start small businesses. They also have a large base of clients in Mexico and other Latin countries.
The bank believes there is a large, profitable and untapped market to provide micro, small and medium-sized loans to entrepreneurs who are pursuing unsexy businesses in the US.
The bank believes they can make this move work, and have largely begun the implementation planning with their own internal strategy teams. The internal strategy unit at the client, staffed by former colleagues from McKinsey and BCG, are leading this effort.
We have been brought in by the CEO to see if the US market is indeed attractive to the banking client. Much of the work involves detailed analysis of US banking segments, break-even points, loan size profitability analyses and channel analysis.
This training program teaches both the strategy analysis and quantitative logic to help the client make a decision.
It will be interesting, and challenging to determine if this banking client can build a business off rising US income-inequality. You will work with us as we attempt to answer this question.
The problem with serving entrepreneurs at the bottom of the economic pyramid is that current ideas typically offer no path to the middle class. So entrepreneurs earn some income and are slightly better off, but what happens next? Being better off was never intended to be the American Dream.
Yet, the opportunity could be significant for Latin American Bank if we consider that close to 50 million Americans earn a yearly salary that is less than the minimum wage threshold. Very few entrepreneurs from this group would qualify for banking loans or any other financing to pursue an entrepreneurial path.
The bank believes offering a full service-banking product and finely tailored services via an accessible retail structure can change this.
Can it?
The solution to this study is counter-intuitive, as you will soon find out.
