The line that appears on your team screen next to the players name are the stats for the day. As you change to another day, the line is, obviously, cleared (or filled with the stats for that day, if we're talking about a previous one). You can change the day by clicking on a different one in the lineup line, right above stats.
If, instead, you want to see the accumulated stats, you can do so in the matchup screen.

One year on: Has the Olympics left a legacy?
London (CNN) -- Over two-thirds of Britons
believe the £9 billion ($13.8 billion) bill for
the London Olympics was worth it, but
economists and business leaders argue it
could take years to see the economic
According to a poll by research consultancy
ComRes , released on the first anniversary of
the Games, 69% of participants said it was a
good investment of public money.
But only 22% of the public feel the Games
have had a positive impact on the local
economy in their area, with 67% saying the
Olympics had no impact at all.
Samuel Tombs, an economist at Capital
Economics, said there was an obvious boost
to UK economic growth during the Games but
it was too early to see a legacy benefit.
He told CNN: "I think there are question
marks over whether the £10 billion of public
money spent on the games could have been
better used... for example infrastructure
projects such as transport, that could have
yielded a higher economic return."
In the second-quarter of 2013, the U.K. grew
by 0.6% -- double the rate of expansion for
the first three months of the year --
suggesting Europe's third-largest economy is
on track for a recovery. Tombs said the
figures also showed growth in all areas of
the economy, which he noted was was a first
in recent years.
The UK contracted for five consecutive
quarters from the second quarter of 2008,
and failed to grow for another nine months
in late 2011 and early 2012 as the eurozone
debt crisis raged.
Although the cultural heritage of the
Olympics is important, it could take years
before we see its true economic value,
according to Tombs.
He said: "You often fail to see a boost in
tourism for the years after the Games and
obviously it's very hard to reuse the facilities
that have been built."
Director of Economics at
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Mark Ambler, said
the benefits may not be evident for at least
another 10 years. He told CNN: "On this
basis, the evidence I have been involved in
generating and that I have seen from others
suggests strongly that the UK will get a good
return on its investment, although I think
important parts of it are still to come."
Investment boost
On Thursday, Mayor of London Boris Johnson
said that the success of the Olympics and
Paralympics has spurred investment in the
U.K capital.
Speaking at a press conference, he said:
"Remember the fate of the Olympo-sceptics
is all I would say to anyone tempted to doubt
the legacy."
But according to Matthew Jaffa, spokesman
for the Federation of Small Businesses, not
enough is being done in the wake of the
Olympics to promote "Brand London" as an
He added: "The Games have had more of an
impact on London than the rest of the UK.
55% of the companies that won contracts,
directly related to the Olympics, saw growth
within the turnover of their business, which
is positive."
Despite skepticism from some quarters of the
business community, the ComRes poll --
which surveyed over 3,200 people -- also
showed that nearly three-quarters of Britons
would welcome the Olympic Games back
given the opportunity.
Political economist and and co-author of the
book 'The Olympics: How was it for us?' said
the Games were "a triumph of public
endeavour... it's a very good example of
what a very dynamic and focused public
sector can do."

The actress, currently starring in "Think Like A Man," recently told the Fearless Girls Club, she encouraged young girls, especially those dealing with image issues and battling depression to look to God for strength in those hard times, reminding them that everyone has a purpose to serve on the planet.
She addressed girls who have considered or may be considering suicide as an answer.
"What you're supposed to do in the world, nobody else can do," she told the girls. "So, now you're gone. So now it's not gonna get done, and what you didn't do is going to affect so many other people's lives."
As far as Meagan's purpose in life, she revealed that she's always felt it important to speak with teen girls in some capacity. Growing up wasn't the easiest for the star. In fact, she admitted that since she was 14 years old, she's been supporting the family.

|TVGOS would've been nice,
I also agree but more for the fact that every new HDTV comes with a built in digital tuner and the older HDTVs that didn't include a HD tuner are probably dying by the day. I surprised CM would release such a device now but I guess if it's just a re-brand of an existing product they wouldn't have much R&D tied up in it.
I spoke with tech support at Channel Master about a month ago, I was told they have another DVR coming out that will use the ethernet port for more stable programming guide updates, instead of TVGOS/PSIP. He didn't mention if it was going to be OTA only or OTA/cable( like Tivo ). He also didn't mention if it was going to be free or fee based.
There isn't much of a market, and whatever little there is has to be dwindling, like you say (certainly not enough for the major companies to even bother), but a lot of older TV's are still running fine (especially CRT's), and will probably keep going a lot longer than "the forces that be" would prefer to see.
I agree it's not very understandable why they'd even be releasing this stuff now. Not for that company, anyway. They sure have changed, though.
I'm still trying to deal with the way Crutchfield is selling the CM-7000PAL DVR now. That one's totally unbelievable to me. Talk about chancing ruining a fantastic reputation in one, fell swoop overnight.
As usual, sales rep lacked technical knowledge and was wrong. I was hoping for an HD version of the CM7000 and ended up with a rebranded ZAT502. Although not a bad unit, the CM7001 does not provide the full program info that I wanted for my Panasonic GT25. But the pic quality is very good via HDMI and eliminates the need for an A/B switch with cable.But I am still looking for a unit with full program info; probably CM7000 DVR or PrimeDTV PHD8VX box.
I'm sure Crutchfield has sold worse & survived. I ordered my CM-7000PAL DVR from Crutchfield, flawless function so far.
The PHD-8VX does provide full program info( Pg 18 in the manual http://epvision.com/HDTVSTB/Documents/PHD-8VXv1.65w.pdf ).
I've been trying to hold out for the PHD-eZ1( http://epvision.com/HDTVSTB/phdez1pre.htm , https://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1262996 ).

CM 7001 and Centronics remotes are interchangeable as I now own both units and tried them both. And like the ZAT502, the CM7001 does not provide detailed program info other than title.

They came back to their hometown on Saturday afternoon to remember the good days when Jonathan "Johnny" Coontz was just another blond-haired Newport kid who had throngs of loyal friends, loved the ocean and surfed like a pro.
Those were the care-free days near the sea, they said, before Coontz's life turned for the worse, before he succumbed to forces that left him — once a universally renowned, "top 5" of Newport surfer — among the Orange County homeless.
Coontz, a 58-year-old Newport Harbor High alumnus, died Dec. 28 at a Santa Ana hospital after being hit by a cyclist near where the Santa Ana River trail meets Atlanta Avenue in Huntington Beach. His family told the Daily Pilot that details of the incident remain unclear to them, and the county coroner hasn't finished its investigation that may indicate if Coontz, who had several convictions for drinking in public, had alcohol in his system when he died.
Friends and Coontz's three sisters gathered at the Newport Harbor home of Gary Robertson on Saturday to reminisce about what made their friend special and how he seemed to "march to a different drummer."
Robertson, who lives in Beacon Bay, grew up just four doors down from the Coontz family in the Westcliff area of Newport. He expressed excitement to talk with old friends, many of whom hadn't seen each other in decades, and gather in memory of Coontz.
"They just all were inspired by what a good surfer he was and what a great guy he was," Robertson said. "All these memories are coming out. These were the best surfers in Newport Beach in the '70s."
Those were the "old Newport" days, Robertson said, when it was "a small beach town and everybody knew everybody." He remembers days on the beach with Coontz, how he got him into all the best high school parties, and there was once an epic swell off 56th Street with 15-footers.
"We all were normal teenagers," he said. "Nobody knew who was gonna be a zillionaire. Nobody knew who was gonna live on the bayfront. Nobody knew any of that stuff. Everybody's taken their different directions, but all of a sudden, we're all together. And we're all the same."
"Coontz just had this natural talent," Robertson added. "He was a great personality and he was so full of life … but he just went into a hole."
Janet Stoneman, one of Coontz's sisters, made a book that contained photographs of her young brother growing up. On Saturday, they were focusing on fond memories when he had "a wonderful spirit."
But, she said, "it was hard to relate to him as he changed. We knew him through the good years."
Denise Ogle, another of Coontz's sisters, said her younger brother always did his own thing. Sometimes, though, she got a little jealous of that.
"I was very disciplined and had to be doing my homework. And he got to go surfing!" Ogle said with a laugh.
She was pleased to see so many come to his memorial. It showed how much he meant to people, she said.
"He was a cool guy," Ogle said. "That part of him I didn't know, because I didn't know the impact he had on his friends. For me, it's neat to know how much he meant to his friends."
Jeff Harris recalled Coontz's sheer athleticism.
"He just ripped. He was so good," Harris said. "It's just tragic the way his life evolved ... but what I remember about Johnny is a magnificently coordinated, gifted athlete."

Sights And Sounds Of The Bay
By Kismet, Wednesday, July 15, 2009
One of the pleasant aspects of having a single place to call home for five months is being able to immerse ourselves in the surrounding area by absorbing the local and regional history. Another aspect is the opportunity to acquaint ourselves with an area that is rich in nature and marine culture. With over 150 major rivers, 11,684 miles of shoreline, 64,000 square miles of surface water touching six states and the District of Columbia, Lisa and I are beginning to understand what a wealth of opportunities await us in the months ahead. There's a lot to see, learn, and do.
So, shortly after arriving we wanted to cast off the lines and take off, but first things first. We'd made arrangements with our Congressman from Michigan, several months ago, for three tours in Washington, D.C.; these included the White House, Capitol Building, and Bureau of Printing and Engraving. So, we left Kismet in the Solomons for a couple of road trips to D.C.; it's only one-and-a-half hours away. As you can imagine there's a lot to see in this big city and you could spend a week there and still not make much of a dent. So, our plan includes another trip by boat in a few weeks time to tour the Smithsonian, the memorials, the Holocaust Museum, and whatever else we can fit in.
We awoke at 6:30 a.m. for our first trip to Washington, to the sound of singing birds. We've come to realize that this continuous chorus of singing goes on every day and is prevalent throughout the entire Chesapeake Bay area. This was something new we've learned about the Bay area, there are birds everywhere including the American Goldfinch, Song Sparrow, Ruby Throated Hummingbird, and Scarlet Tanager. They all seem to have a song to sing or a story to tell and at times it seems as if they're talking to each other. I've learned that not only are there 200 species of birds in the Solomons area but that we're located in the major nesting area for the Atlantic migratory bird flyway. As I'm sitting in Kismet's pilothouse writing this log I find myself listening to a dozen or so birds chirping away.
We were advised, because of all the traffic, congestion, and lack of parking, to park short of Washington and take the train into D.C., so we did. We decided that, to us, marine navigation seems a lot easier than negotiating a foreign looking parking structure and an endless array of possible train/bus routes and stops. With boating we find deep enough water and keep the boat between the green and red markers and with the assistance of the GPS we are in good shape. We did persevere, with the help of route and city maps, and eventually it all started to make sense.
After making our way through the new Capitol Building's Visitor Center, Lisa and I had a small group tour of the historical building. For us it was awe inspiring to stand where our presidents have stood, to learn about the construction of the dome, and see where democracy has stood the test of time. The Bureau of Printing is where our paper money is printed and we were able to see the entire process. From the blank paper, which is one-quarter linen and three-quarters cotton, to the printing, cutting, serializing, bundling, wrapping, and packaging, it's quite a sight to see. The only problem we had with this tour was their resistance to give out free samples.
The highlight of our Washington trips, we drove to town two separate days, was our visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the most famous address in the United States. We entered the White House through the East Wing and through a corridor where we could see out the many windows over the magnificently groomed grounds. The tour was self-guided and took us through the East, Green, Blue, Red, and Vermeil Rooms, in addition to the State Dining Room, entrance, and front porch. Originally built in 1793 when George Washington was President, the White House has been lived in by every President since James Madison moved in, in 1809. It's the oldest public building in Washington D.C. Here we are, Lisa and Jim from Michigan, along with a hundred or so other visitors, taking it all in. In this building some of the most important decisions that formed and have maintained our country's freedoms have been made and we're roaming through like we own the place. Well I guess in a way we do, along with every other tax-paying American. We found out later that night that while we were there President Obama had given a speech in the Rose Garden.
So, as I mentioned, our plan, after scoping out D.C. by land, is to make a seven-day boat excursion up the Potomac River. Two days up, three days for more sight seeing and knowledge gathering, and two days back. Once we get to Washington by boat there are several marinas or anchorages close to the National Mall where we'll be able to visit the Smithsonian; the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Vietnam Memorials; the Holocaust Museum, and I've only scratched the surface. We hope to have enough time left over to visit George Washington's Mt Vernon along the banks of the Potomac. Too much to see and not enough time, but it's all worth it.
Since we've been in Maryland I've learned that a screw pile is a type of lighthouse, that St. Marys City was the first Capitol of Maryland and is currently celebrating it's 375th anniversary. In addition I've learned that during the War of 1812 the largest navy battle in Maryland's history was fought in St Leonard Creek in 1814, off the Patuxent River, only four miles up from our dock. It was after this battle that the British continued up the Patuxent to eventually make their way to Washington where they burned the Capitol Building and White House.
We've been here just long enough to learn that the locals refer to the Chesapeake as simply the "Bay." After three weeks of being at dock, five days on the hard for maintenance, one week preparing for and having company on-board, and Washington week, our wanderlust finally started to kick in. It was time to untie the lines and start exploring the greatness of the Bay.
Just to get our sea legs under us again Lisa and I were going to head up the Patuxent River and explore several of the side creeks and coves, find a secluded anchorage for the night, and return the next day, including St. Leonard Creek. Mother Nature didn't want to co-operate so we stayed tied to our dock instead with hopes of heading out the next day. Instead we worked around Kismet and when it appeared Mother Nature had deceived us with beautiful blue skies we decided to tour around Back Creek in our dinghy. During our two-hour trip we came across two separate boats that were from Michigan. Not too unusual except we find out in both cases there's a connection of sorts.
The first boat, Fidelitas, has a homeport listed on the transom as Cheboygan, Michigan, where our friends Charlie and Linda of Freedom's Turn moor their boat. After a short conversation I find out that they keep their boat at Duncan Bay Marina, also Freedom's Turn homeport and there is only five slips separation between them. This couple had just bought the boat and they were heading to the Great Lakes. The second boat, Present Moment, had a homeport of Macatawa, Michigan, which is south of our Lake Michigan homeport of Charlevoix.
As we're dinghing by their boat it appears no one is home and their dinghy is absent. Just as we're leaving the owners pull up in their dinghy and call out "Are you the Favors?" Of course this seems rather unusual until we hear the rest of the story. It appears they've been following our adventures and reading our BoatUS logs and knew we were in the Solomons. As we were engaged in conversation we discovered a mutual connection with a coworker of mine in Traverse City, Michigan. Boy, it really is a small world. They too had just recently bought their boat and were taking it to Michigan before starting their Great Loop trip in September.
The weather forecast looked good so we headed up the Patuxent River on Sunday. Blue sky accompanied by a light breeze made for the perfect day for our inaugural trip. We only went up the Patuxent eight miles and along the way tucked into Mill, Cuckold, and Island Creeks. We didn't have any agenda, our goal was to scope out potential future anchorages and see the Maryland countryside by water. We were pleasantly surprised when we found the area not all built up, with lots of farms, cottages, dense woods, and high natural bluffs. Don't get me wrong; there are large estate-type homes here as well, but they are the exception to the rule.
After exploring some of those creeks, we retraced our path back south to St. Leonard Creek, first made famous when a group of Maryland militia fought to protect their farms and settlements from the British during the War of 1812. You can cruise about four miles up the St. Leonard Creek from the Patuxent River and we found that there are plenty of opportunities for quiet anchorages along this route. We settled in just off of Breeden's Point in 10 feet of water, the sight I'm sure of many conflicts during the war but today it's jet skis, sailboats, trawlers, water skiers, go-fast boats, and of course all the singing birds. It sure is nice to be away from the distractions of the dock and marina tucked into this small cove with only one other trawler nearby. Once the boat traffic calmed down so did the water and the evening turned into a quiet pleasant experience. We'll be back.

What is done to minimize the risk of deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism or DVT/PE?
Patients are treated with sequential leg compression stockings during surgery and continue until the patient is walking. A blood thinner prior to surgery for patients undergoing the sleeve gastrectomy and the gastric bypass. The third major preventive measure involves getting the patient moving and out of bed as soon as possible after the operation to restore normal blood flow in the legs.
What should I bring with me to the hospital?
Basic toiletries (comb, toothbrush, etc.) Choose clothes that are easy to put on for your ride home.
• crossword and other puzzles
• reading and writing materials
• personal toiletries
• bathrobe

Lately I've been experimenting with photoshop - teaching myself to colour my illustrations digitally using hand drawn fonts and textures from my old paintings. It brings about a different kind of aesthetic, and i'm having fun exploring these unexplored avenues and pushing my usual style.

2 year old, un-spayed, female pit-lab mix thrown from a car on the highway. A good samaritan brought her to Vertinary Oncology and Hemetology Center.

CHICAGO — A Chicago commuter train was not speeding when it jumped its tracks and screeched up an escalator at one of the world's busiest airports, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday.
CHICAGO — A Chicago commuter train was not speeding when it jumped its tracks and screeched up an escalator at one of the world's busiest airports, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday.
NTSB investigator Ted Turpin said a preliminary review of Monday's derailment at O'Hare International Airport showed that the train was traveling at 25 mph — the correct speed — as it entered the station. More than 30 people were injured in the crash.
Turpin, who is in charge of the investigation, said an automatic emergency braking system was activated on the tracks, but that it failed it stop the train as it headed for the platform.
"It activated," Turpin said. "That's all we know factually. Now, whether it did it in time or not, that's an analysis that we have to figure out."
The union representing the train operator said fatigue may have played a role in the crash at the nation's second busiest airport, suggesting the woman may have dozed off. The accident occurred around 3 a.m.
The operator, who was not immediately identified, had started work at around 8 p.m. on Sunday but had recently put in a lot of overtime, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308 President Robert Kelly said Monday afternoon.
"I know she works a lot — as a lot of our members do," he said. "They gotta earn a living. … She was extremely tired."
NTSB officials planned to speak with the operator Tuesday afternoon.
Kelly said the operator took standard drug and alcohol tests after the derailment and that she assured him they were not an issue.
Asked whether she may have nodded off, Kelly responded: "The indication is there. Yes."
Federal investigators were back on the scene and hoped to turn the scene over to local officials Tuesday to begin removing the train from the escalator at the underground Chicago Transit Authority station.
Monday's accident could have caused untold death and destruction had the crash occurred during the day when the station is usually packed with luggage-carrying travelers, a transportation expert said.
"It is a miracle that nobody died," said Joseph Schwieterman, a transportation expert at DePaul University.
"A train running up a (crowded) escalator could have been a worst case scenario," Schwieterman said. "When pedestrians are hit by a train, it is usual fatal."
He also noted that jumping the track likely dissipated the train's forward movement, lessening the accident's severity. A more abrupt stop would have more violently slammed people into the train's seats and walls, he said.
"That was a lucky break," he said. "A train hitting a wall at … high speed could easily have been fatal for many."
The train is designed to stop if operators become incapacitated and their hand slips off the controls. Kelly speculated that, upon impact, inertia may have thrown the operator against the hand switch, accelerating it onto the escalator.
Investigators have been scrutinizing the train's brakes, track signals and other potential factors while reviewing video footage from more than 40 cameras in the station and on the train, Turpin said.
The station remained closed Tuesday morning, and CTA buses took passengers to and from O'Hare to the next station on the line. Transport officials have not said when full Blue Line service will resume at O'Hare.
Associated Press reporter Michael Tarm contributed to this report.

My American 3DS needs repair so I can't play otherwise I would, I love this series.If that's true about the party thing, that'd be a first. I've gone through all the games so far with a single party
Did your hinge break? My first 3DS literally fell apart. I'm not sure about the party thing. There seems to be a lot of debate about party makeup online. I'm only a couple of hours in, so I'm just curious what other people thought. (Yeah, I read the review)
Did your hinge break? My first 3DS literally fell apart.
Am I the only one playing this? Nobody else? As far as party makeup, it seems like you need to almost make a character for every class and switch them out as needed.Is this on the mark?

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — You're a sucker to believe Wall Street's current mantra that another Lehman Brothers-like collapse is not in the cards.
I say that not because I think such a collapse is imminent, though I am less sanguine than many right now. The reason I say we shouldn't believe Wall Street is that they were also telling us not to worry five years ago, right before Lehman declared bankruptcy.
Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy on Sept. 15, 2008. That, in turn, triggered the near collapse of the entire financial system: The stock market quickly entered into one of its worst two-month stretches in U.S. history.
If ever there were a time for Wall Street's gurus to warn us of the impending doom, that would have been the time.
But that's not what I found upon reviewing what the several hundred advisers I track were saying in those crucial weeks prior to that financial tsunami. On the contrary, with very few exceptions, they were remarkably complacent at that time — if not downright upbeat.
Consider the following sampling of comments from late August and early September of 2008:
- "I am ready to be a bull again! ... [T]he exact time is still difficult to tell, and we will in all likelihood be early to the game, but three crucial elements necessary for a new bull market are getting our attention. The housing market is beginning to show serious signs of a bottom… Quietly, the financial sector has been slowly healing."
- "The stock market and the economy continue to battle the same demons. They are not going away easily, though one would have to think the sub-prime mess is largely behind us… I think a 75% invested posture is about right at this juncture."
- "For the next few weeks at least, the sun seems destined to shine on the stock market."
- "With oil and gas and ag commodity prices coming down, consumers are eventually going to get some much needed breathing room. This will also allow the economy to regain its footing and begin a recovery, especially once the 6-year cycle bottoms in September. The bear market in crude oil will help to improve consumer spending and should also bolster the stock market from here."
I could go on and on, but you get the point.
(And, to be clear, I selected these quotations to make that point; I'm sure I could have found other quotations from at least many of them that don't make them, in retrospect, look so foolish.)
Clearly, Warren Buffett was right when he famously said that one of the primary purposes of stock market forecasters is to make fortune tellers look good.

It's official, gals: Missoni for Target is one of the most frenzy-inducing designer collaborations we've ever seen. Last night's editor sneak peek started at 7:30pm, but by the time the STF team arrived at, oh, 7:32, plenty of the hot-ticket items were already long gone. But no matter, there was plenty of star-gazing and scene-ogling to be done...
The Target team turned a huge raw space into what one editor called a "Missoni mall," with their signature zig zags adorning everything from entryways to dressing room doors.
Front and center was "Little Marina," the 25-foot blogging doll that's served as the promotional face of the collaboration, dressed in the biggest pair of Missoni tights we've ever seen, wielding a giant iPhone to capture all of the action at the party (and yes, that's a real live puppeteer moving her around--chic, yet creepy, right?).
All around her, eager shoppers were scooping up pieces like they were, well, ridiculously affordable versions of Italian luxury goods (check out one shopper's impressive pile, above)! The towels, quilts, and pillows were some of the first things to go, and I also spotted more than one editor wheeling as many suitcases as they could carry. I made a beeline for the lingerie set and a classic zig zag dress, and noticed Michelle Trachtenberg (standing in the checkout line like everyone else!) deciding if she really wanted a knitted hat and matching gloves. A slew of other A-listers came out to shop, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Emma Roberts and boyfriend Chord Overstreet, Rachel Zoe, Selita Ebanks, and Camilla Belle.
The NYC pop-up shop will be open to the public tomorrow night for Fashion's Night Out at 6pm at the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, and the rest of the world will be able to get their hands on the stuff at their local Target store and target.com starting September 13. Tell me, dolls...do you plan to camp out at your local Tar-zhay to get the goods? Which pieces do you have your eye on? Discuss!

Provence retiring after 25 years with Wayland
PLAINVIEW -- After 25 years of service to Wayland Baptist University, Freda Provence will take a much-earned break. Provence, who began working at Wayland in 1982, will retire at the end of June.
A native of Paducah, Provence attended Texas Women's University after graduating from high school in 1956. Two years later, on the advice of a friend, she enrolled in Wayland.
"I had not been on the Wayland campus," Provence said. "I just transferred site unseen. When I came here, after spending time at TWU where they had a different building from every discipline, I was just stunned and thought, 'Oh, Lord. What have I done?'"
Provence dropped out of school a year later to take care of her ailing father. She took a job in Lubbock as a Dictaphone typist for three orthopedists. While caring for her father, Freda maintained contact with Joe Provence whom she had met in school. Joe dropped out to tend to an ailing brother, but the pair continued to correspond. When Joe returned to school, they began dating and were married in August of 1961.
The couple spent three years as youth directors for a Baptist Church in Clovis, N.M., before Joe returned to take a job with Wayland. Freda began taking night classes and eventually graduated in 1974. She joined the staff at Wayland administrative assistant to the president in 1982. After 25 years, Provence is still at Wayland and says she will continue to serve the university after retirement.
"I've already promised to come back and go through some files in the basement," she laughed.
Provence will also do volunteer work and continue her involvement with the university through the Community Classroom where she plans to help people acquire citizenship or get their GED. She will also be busy at home, taking care of Joe, who retired as Director of Alumni Services last summer. Joe has worked part time in the Alumni office throughout the last year.
In her tenure, Freda has worked with five administrations in the life of the school. She began work with Dr. David Jester, then served under interim president Glenn Barnett, Dr. Lanny Hall, Dr. Wallace Davis and Dr. Paul Armes.
With 25 years of memories, a few things stand out in her mind.
"I guess one of the most memorable occasions was when we finally completed the LRC in 1996," Provence said.
Construction on the Learning Resources Center began in the mid 80s under Dr. Jester. The building sat as an empty shell for many years prior to its completion in 1996.
"Having an unfinished building on campus was an albatross around our neck," Provence said. "When Dr. Davis came, he started working on ways to finish that building. When we finished it, we had a wonderful celebration."
The university will celebrate Freda's contributions to the school with a special reception at 2 p.m. on June 28 in the McClung University Center parlor.

Evanston aldermen Monday night approved the city's $2 million purchase of two Chicago Avenue buildings to become parking lots for a planned Trader Joe's market.
Only Alderman Don Wilson, 4th Ward, voted against all aspects of the complex transaction. Wilson said he voted no because the city hadn't budgeted for the spending and because he's "reluctant to put city money into private enterprises."
The deal drew praise from other aldermen, and from Cease Giddings, co-owner of the nearby Folk Works Gallery, who said Trader Joe's "will be a mecca for food lovers like me."
Top: Cease Giddings of the Folk Works Gallery. Above: Alderman Don Wilson, 4th Ward.
In response to concerns about why the chain would want to locate at 1211 Chicago Ave. -- within a block of two other supermarkets -- Johanna Nyden, a city economic development planner working on the project, said the company likes to be near existing grocery stories.
Because Trader Joe's stores are smaller than typical supermarkets, Nyden said, the company knows that shoppers will need to do some of their grocery shopping elsewhere, and hopes to persuade them to augment their shopping trip with a stop at Trader Joe's.
Johanna Nyden of the city's economic development staff.
Under the plan, the city will acquire the two parcels at 1223-25 Chicago Ave. and 1229 Chicago Ave. and license them to the developer of the Trader Joe's project, Terraco Inc., for 70 years.
Assistant City Attorney Michelle Masoncup said the license arrangement would mean that the city would remain in possession and control of the property, but under the license the developer would have responsibility for maintaining the property.
Michelle Masoncup of the city's law department.
In response to a question from Alderman Ann Rainey, 8th Ward, Masoncup said that would likely insulate the city from liability for any suits based on injuries to store patrons or others using the parking lot.
And Terraco's president, Scott Gendell, said the company would include the city as an additional insured under its own insurance policy for the property.

Assistant City Manager Marty Lyons said that the city will continue to hold the lots as an asset on its books, and the value of the asset will be increased by the estimated $500,000 the developer will spend to remove the existing buildings and prepare the site for parking use.
Nyden said that based on the performance of similar stores, she believes the city will make back the $2 million investment on the project from increased tax revenue within four to six years.
Because the nearest existing Trader Joe's markets are at least six miles from the site of the new store, business owners in the area have expressed hopes that, rather than cannibalizing business for the existing supermarkets, Trader Joe's will draw in shoppers from a wider area north and south of Evanston.
A map from the Trader Joe's website showing its nearby existing stores and the approximate location of the new store marked with a star.
The Trader Joe's project still needs to go through the city's planned development process, with community meetings, a recommendation from the Plan Commission, and votes by the council's Planning and Development Committee and the full City Council.
Assuming that process moves smoothly, Nyden said, the plan is for the new store to open next spring.

Trader Joe's parking lot design: Awful and unnecessary
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I am not necessarily against public money going to pay for infrastructure to help local businesses BUT it should fit in to the larger planning goals of the city.
Unfortunately, this design does not comport with the Chicago Avenue Corridor Plan to make the area pedestrian-friendly.
One of the main problems with Chicago Avenue is all of the "dead space" resulting from the huge parking lots at Jewel and Whole Foods.
Setbacks and parking lots larger than the footprints of the buildings they are supposed to serve degrade the pedestrian environment.
It is unclear why Trader Joe's can't follow their own example on Diversey in Chicago where they incorporated a parking garage above the building and oriented the store immediately adjacent to the sidewalk which encourages walking and other forms of low-impact mobility. They also could have similarly followed the model of the Whole Foods at Church and Chicago.
This is antithetical to the transit-oriented development the city purportedly endorses. The fact that the City Manager pushed this thing through and that the council (save Wilson) bought it without asking essential questions about the plan is pathetic.
Given the poor planning apparent in the city-subsidized Gordon Food Market on Oakton, it appears that Wally and a complicit council are hell-bent into making Evanston into a replica of the sprawling Southern California where he came from.
Those parking lots are always full

Did I miss the sign?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
There was an EvanstonNow story about all the signs coming into Evanston. I must have missed onen at entrances to Evanston "Ask the Council for Money---they will give it to you."
Even NU got into the act with the ridiculous price they got for the house. This while the city complains that NU does not pay its share of the city budget in lieu of taxes. Secret---even if NU would want to give more to the city they know how it would be wasted and figure they can use the money for better purposes.
The Council seems to spend more time on shoveling money out the door to anyone who asks for it, than trying to figure out how to clean-up the budget/pension mess they got us into.
Any proposed or even existing business seems to get money from the Council just for asking---except of course the 'Tilted Kilt' which offended the Council or should I say the groups they want to vote for them.
What will happen with Trader Joe's? The city will 'seem' to support them for a year or two and then impose taxes, new inspections, etc. until they lose profits. Whole Foods nearby will probably close within two years---no one knows why they have two stores anyway—and probably would not have even one if it was not for NU students spending daddy's money and the up-scale Evanston residents who want to impress their friends with the fact they have so much money they can shop there.

I don't understand how the city gets its investment back from Trader Joes based on sales tax revenue. When Trader Joes sells a banana that will be one less banana being sold at one of the other 9 major grocery stores in Evanston. Except for a price differental, that will end up being no net gain for the city.
Sounds like Wally works some fuzzy math unless he plans to increase his banana intake.
My only complaint
Submitted by Anony-mouse (not verified) on
My only complaint is that the city could've gotten a better deal. Also why doesn't the city lease match the lease that Trader Joes has with Terraco? That is TJs has something like 30 or 35 year lease, but Terraco has a 70 year lease. If Terraco is paying under market to the city surely the city could've gotten something in return.
I agree on the planning
Submitted by Anonymous2 (not verified) on
I agree on the planning point. Parking lots are not friendly to pedestrians. That *is* dead space -- cars amd cement are not people. When you walk from Davis St to Main St on Chicago Ave, the blocks that include Whole Foods, Jewel and the car dealership are blocks I feel a need to rush through.
Must be that 'New Math"
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Johanna Nyden of the city's economic development staff: "The city to recieve $2million in four to six years based on performance of similar stores" -- I wonder what Wholefoods thinks about that projection. Did Evanston give a similar type of deal to Wholefoods or any of the other grocery stores?
The one thing that Evanston does not need is another high-end grocery store.

I'm a 17 year old female, I've been having weird things going on with no explanation. The outer part of my vagina feels irritated, with slight itching, and at times a little sore, without having sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse it itches and has a moderate burning sensation that lasts for a few days. My discharge also changes, at times I think its normal but sometimes it seems too white and thick, and sometimes too watery. I don't know if its normal for a woman to constantly have secretions, but I have to always wear panty-liners, or put toilet paper in my underwear because of the constant wetness. I also have pelvic pain, or lower abdominal pain (specifically near the ovaries) almost everyday. I have had 3 ultrasounds done, and have been tested for gonnorhea/chlamydia, candidas, bacterial vaginosis, etc. 4 times, every few months. No one can find out whats going on. Does anyone have ANY ideas of what could be going on? or what I should do.. or what to ask my doctor?? I'm clueless.
Also I'm not pregnant, and rarely have sex.
Have Never douched.

Best free wi-fi off-campus The Starbucks across Dulaney Valley Road from campus is usually a good bet. Not many students go there, because our library is awesome and open 24/7. Best hidden gem near school Although it's mainly filled with hungover Towson University students on the weekend, you are bound to see some fellow Goucher peers getting their bagel-fix at Towson Hot Bagels (pictured). The bagels are delicious and the service is super quick. Favorite on-campus place to study The Athenaeum is our library/student center. It is open 24/7, has a decked-out computer lab, four levels of stacks, comfy chairs, and a cafe that's open until 2 a.m. My favorite spot is the 2nd floor quiet area at one of the cubicles. I usually drag over one of the comfy chairs to my desk and set up camp. What surprised me most about Baltimore There is so much to do here! People are usually afraid to venture out of the 'Goucher Bubble.' But honestly, Baltimore has so much to offer and always has free and cheap events that more college students should check out. Best school event GIG (Get Into Goucher). Goucher cancels classes on a Friday afternoon in the spring and the programming board organizes a carnival with great food and good bands at night. What to do on the weekend The Office of Student Engagement at Goucher guarantees programming every Thursday through Saturday night. So there is always something to do, whether it is a dance, a concert on the quad, or open mic night in the Gopher Hole (our on-campus coffee house). We don't have Greek life at Goucher so parties are usually small gatherings in a friend's room or apartment. Nothing too crazy, y'all. But don't worry -- the lacrosse team usually throws crazy parties off campus and some students go to the frats at Hopkins. There are also bars in Towson like Charles Village Pub, where you will usually find Goucher students. Best student transportation Goucher is part of the Baltimore Collegetown Shuttle, which takes you to basically every college and university in the area. It's an easy and free way to get around. Also, Goucher is the first stop on one of the lines, so we are guaranteed spots on the bus. There is also a light rail in Lutherville, right up York Road. Must-take classes Anything with Mary Marchand. More specifically, American Studies 205. Mary is a wonderful person and teacher. You don't have to be an American Studies major to take the class, but come with an open mind and be ready to participate. What I wish someone had told me when I was a freshman Bring rain gear. It rains a lot in Baltimore in the fall; usually when you least expect it. Take advantage of the fact that Baltimore is so close. I hate that I am going to be a junior and am just now realizing how amazing and fun this city is. Explore the woods! We have 287 acres of land and amazing trails that make you forget you are in a city. by Jaclyn Peiser, junior, communication and American studies major

The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup has grown to become one of the most anticipated sporting events worldwide, gathering huge interest from all parties: sponsors, host cities, supporters and media. After six successful editions, and another thrilling tournament looming in September 2013 in Tahiti, this showcase event has acquired elite recognition of the highest scale. At the same time Beach Soccer has been gaining a leading place in the heart of millions of passionate sports fans across the globe.
Acknowledging the unique opportunity of having such a high-profile event land on one's doorstep, 12 Member Associations have begun the bidding procedures to host the 2015 edition of the tournament, as FIFA announced after the Executive Committee met recently. The Member Associations who have submitted the Declaration of Interest are Brazil (CBF), Russia (FUR), Ecuador (FEF), Switzerland (SFV-ASF), Mauritius (MFA), France (FFF), Portugal (FPF), El Salvador (FESFUT), Thailand (FAT), Senegal (SFF), Hungary (MLSZ) and Bulgaria (BFU). Hailing from five different continents, it is a record number of bidders for the event.
So, after Rio de Janeiro 2005, 2006 and 2007, Marseille 2008, Dubai 2009, Ravenna/Italy 2011 and Tahiti 2013, there's many candidates in the running with the venue for the 2015 edition to be announced in May 2013.

Astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez's appeal denied. - Academic freedom petition launched
In the wake of the fact that Guillermo Gonzalez's appeal has been dismissed by the Iowa Board of Regents (this was expected, actually, and more later), Discovery Institute has launched an Academic Freedom petition:
Across America, the freedom of scientists, teachers, and students to question Darwin is coming under increasing attack by self-appointed defenders of the theory of evolution who are waging a malicious campaign to demonize and blacklist anyone who disagrees with them. You can help by signing the Academic Freedom Petition
If you are an American, you can go here to sign.
By the way, academic freedom is under severe attack in many forums, not just the study of design in the universe. Go to The Fire to find out the rights you no longer have on many campuses. You can see Indoctrinate U on line, which gives you the idea.
Relax, it's actually worse in Canada. But you must hear publisher Ezra Levant's opening salvo against the tyranny of vague "human rights" charges.
Also: Will the Expelled film be ignored by its friends as well as its foes?
Excerpt: "Establishment savvies knows that most people - even those who should make the time to see the film - won't bother if there isn't a big razzmatazz about it in the media controlled by the establishment. And there isn't one."

Deborah Sampson was the first known American woman to impersonate a man in order to join the army and take part in combat. She was born in Plympton, MA on December 17, 1760, the oldest of three daughters and three sons to Jonathan and Deborah Bradford Sampson.
Deborah is my 3rd cousin, 7 times removed. We both descend from William Bradford, Governor of the Plymouth Colony. I descend from Bradford's son, William IV. Deborah descends from his other son, Joseph.
Sampson's youth was spent in poverty. Her father abandoned the family and went off to sea. Her mother was of poor health and could not support the children, so she sent them off to live with various neighbors and relatives. At the young age of ten, Sampson became an indentured servant in the household of Jeremiah Thomas in Middleborough, MA. For ten years she helped with the housework and worked in the fields, which helped developed her physical strength. She attended school in the Winter since there wasn't as much farm work to be done. She learned enough so that, after her servitude ended in 1779, she was hired as a teacher in a Middleborough public school.
On May 20, 1782, when she was twenty-one, Sampson enlisted in the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment of the Continental Army at Bellingham as a man named Robert Shurtliff (also listed as Shirtleff or Shirtlieff). Robert Shurtliff Sampson was the name of her deceased brother. Being almost 5 foot 8 inches tall, she was almost a foot taller than the average woman of her day and taller than the average man. Other soldiers teased her about not having to shave, but they assumed that this "boy" was just too young to grow facial hair. She performed her duties as well as any other man.
Back home, rumors circulated about her and she was excommunicated from the First Baptist Church of Middleborough, MA, because of a strong suspicion that she was "dressing in man's clothes and enlisting as a Soldier in the Army."
Although the last major battle of the Revolution had been fought the previous October when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, guerilla warfare was still being fought in several areas by Tories refusing to surrender. It was during one of these skirmishes that Shurtleff suffered a forehead wound from a sabre slash and then was hit by a musket ball in the upper left front thigh. At a field hospital, a French doctor bound up the head wound, but was not advised of the thigh injury. When the doctor began to attend another wounded soldier, Shurtleff limped out of the hospital, and later, removed the musket ball herself.
However, when he was later hospitalized for fever, the physician attending her discovered that she was a woman and made discreet arrangements that ended her military career. Sampson was honorably discharged from the army at West Point on October 25, 1783.
Deborah Sampson returned home, married a farmer named Benjamin Gannett, and had three children. She also taught at a nearby school. About nine years after her discharge from the army, she was awarded a pension from the state of Massachusetts in the amount of thirty-four pounds in a lump payment. After Paul Revere sent a letter to Congress on her behalf in 1804, she started receiving a U.S. pension in the amount of four dollars per month. In 1802, Sampson traveled throughout New England and New York giving lectures on her experiences in the military. During her lectures, she wore the military uniform.
Deborah Sampson Gannett died April 29, 1827 in Sharon, MA, at age sixty-six. Her children were awarded compensation by a special act of Congress "for the relief of the heirs of Deborah Gannett, a soldier of the Revolution, deceased." She is buried in the Rock Ridge Cemetery in Sharon.
On May 23, 1983, Governor Michael J. Dukakis signed a proclamation which declared that Deborah Samson was the Official Heroine of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Two news services stated this was the first time in the history of the United States that any state had proclaimed anyone as the official hero or heroine.
Born: December 17, 1760 in Plympton, Plymouth Co., MA
Married: Benjamin Gannett on April 17, 1784
Died: April 29, 1827 in Sharon, Norfolk Co., MA and is buried in Rock Ridge Cemetery, Sharon, MA
Relation: 3rd cousin, 7 times removed

I'm having trouble with a ST-402 camera with BVIC filter wheel. Basically, if I ever try to use the B filter, the filter wheen gets lost and the camera is useless until I disconnect it and re-connect it (which I don't do). It works fine as long as I stick with any of the V, I or C filters. I've emailed SBIG but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?

Cotto Turns Back the Clock as Time Catches Up with Martinez/
Photos: Ed Mulholland and Will Hart
By Kieran Mulvaney
It would be easy to say that Miguel Cotto turned back the clock in a virtuoso performance against Sergio Martinez on Saturday night. It would be easy, but it would be wrong. Cotto, 33 years old and with 42 professional bouts and many ring miles under his belt, didn't look like the contender who 14 years ago began his body-punching assault on the 140-pound division. He was far superior to that young man, combining offense and defense more effectively and beautifully than at any stage of his long and glorious career; and the 21,090 in attendance at Madison Square Garden, which has applauded so many of the greatest nights of that career, roared in celebration when the bell rang to begin the tenth round, Martinez stayed on his stool, and Cotto was crowned the middleweight champion of the world.
By that stage it was remarkable the fight had even lasted that long. Cotto, bouncing on his toes and working behind a stiff jab and his trademark impassive mien, hurt Martinez in the opening 30 seconds of the first round with a left hook and, smelling blood, moved in instantly for the kill. A flurry put Martinez down as the crowd exploded in euphoria; seconds later, he was down again, and before the round was over the champion had been bowled over a third time. The excitement of the moment was matched only by the astonishing improbability of events: Martinez was supposed to be the stronger, faster, harder-hitting man, and yet Cotto was physically dominating him from the outset.
The Puerto Rican's hands were faster, his punches were harder, and despite being the smaller, lighter man, he dominated in the clinches, pushing Martinez around like a rag doll. Martinez survived the first round, and the second, and the third, but even as he began to clear his head, began to get his feet back under him, began to fight back and land southpaw right hooks and left hands, there was nothing to suggest he had the ability or the strategy to turn back the tide.
Cotto, constantly on his toes, showed perfect balance as he kept coming forward, putting Martinez under pressure. He switched his jab from head to body, keeping Martinez guessing and on the back foot, all the while looking to land that vaunted left hook – following it on occasion with an equally effective right hand.
Even when Martinez was able to launch an assault, Cotto's defense kept him out of trouble. In the ninth, Cotto slipped away from a lunging Martinez right hand and landed a short counter that caused Martinez to stumble and touch his glove to the canvas for a fourth knockdown. By then, Martinez, troubled by Cotto's punches and by his own balky right knee, was all but done, prompting his trainer Pablo Sarmiento to ignore his charge's entreaties for "just one more round," and to call for a halt to the contest.
Cotto landed a remarkable 54 percent of his punches, more than twice as many as Martinez, and almost every one of them detonated with greater authority than any of those thrown by the deposed champion.
"This is the biggest achievement of my professional career," said Cotto afterward, who thanked trainer Freddie Roach for "the most beautiful camp of my career."
Roach returned the love in spades.
"I think we passed the audition," he smiled, channeling John Lennon. "I'm so proud of Miguel. He worked very hard in camp. He deserved his historic victory. He was picture perfect. We won every round. He didn't get hit with nothing. His defense was beautiful. I kept telling him the same thing after every round: 'That round was better than the last one.'"
Of Martinez, Roach offered that, "He's got a lot of balls," for peeling himself off the canvas three times in that opening round. But such compliments were of course of little consolation to the Argentine.
"I got hit with the punch [in the first round] and I was cold and I never recovered after that. I tried to do my best and I want to apologize to the Argentine fans and I want to thank all of the Puerto Rican fans for coming out. You've got to know when to win and you've got to know when to lose and I give all congratulations to Miguel Cotto."
On this night, more than any other in a sure-fire Hall of Fame career, such congratulations were richly deserved.

Young Owosso is the used car dealer known for offering one of the most extensive selections of pre-owned and used cars in Owosso, MI. We certify our late-model, relatively low-mileage pre-owned cars for sale to ensure there is no history of major mechanical or structural damage. All our certified vehicles also undergo a rigorous inspection to guarantee that you are receiving a quality pre-owned vehicle worthy of our name.
Why buy a pre-owned vehicle instead of a new one? First of all, it can be more economical choice than buying new. Most lending institutions require a minimum down payment of ten percent on the purchase of a new car. If you are lucky enough to get a lower down payment rate, you will make up for it with higher monthly payments. When you do the math and take into consideration the high insurance rates and costly state registration fees for a new car, purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from Young Owosso makes sense on every level.
If you are in the market for your dream Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, or GMC, purchasing a slightly-used model, even if it is in like-new condition, will always be the much more affordable option. Once you drive a new car off the lot, it immediately depreciates in overall value. All cars lose the majority of their value within the first three years of use, sometimes as much as forty percent. Therefore, if you purchase a well-functioning pre-owned vehicle and choose to re-sell it in the future, you may recoup your entire purchase since depreciation has already taken hold. Think of it as an investment!
Greater Lansing and Flint, MI knows Young Owosso's pre-owned cars for sale are not only inspected by us, but are also road-tested by their previous owners. Having already been driven, these cars have already powered through their awkward stage. Anything that needed attention from the factory has been dealt with, and every "hiccup" unique to the vehicle has been repaired.
Visit the lot at Young Owosso today and speak with the area's most reputable experts on used cars. Owosso, MI residents are sure to find a quality GM vehicle that is just right to meet their needs.
