Wow! I LOVE when genealogists get all fired up! We think we librarians can rock the social media outlets with outrage....I'm thinking genealogists may have the upper hand on this! If you don't believe me, just do a Twitter search for 'RootsTech' and watch the feed that has been tearing up the cyber-sphere for the past 24-48 hours! The issue? Conference planners purposely excluding all Book and/or Arts & Crafts vendors in the RootsTech Exhibit Hall. For the blog post that first reported on this amazingly shocking decision, check out Leland and Patty Meitzler's informative post here at: The Genealogy Blog.
I refuse to re-hash what everyone has said. The response posts, comments and various commentaries are so very informative and righteously indignant that I truly encourage everyone to spend some time today just absorbing the controversy first-hand. Even the official RootsTech bloggers are writing up a storm and being 1000% honest about their opposition - which is awesome!
So, as another blogger who also happened to attend last year, what's my take? Ok, they mentioned the Exhibit Hall Coordinator by name and are pretty much vilifying him across the board. Due to our Pastology talks with Family Search, we are personally acquainted with Mr. Clarke and find him to be a very nice and extremely intelligent person - who happens to be passionate about genealogy. And he is much more than the Exhibit Hall Coordinator - his official title is "Web Services Product Manager/ Affiliates Manager" for Family Search. However, he is a self-professed techie - through and through. After talking with Mr. Clarke on many occasions - about technology and genealogy specifically, I think I know where he and the rest of the RootsTech planners were headed, but also where they took a huge wrong turn. There are certain areas of technological development that he would like to see the genealogy field move toward. As a technological field, genealogy is only just now finding its tech wings within the past 15 years or so. We are a little behind in advancing....I think we are advancing fine....but in the developer realm, the hugely talented developers do not flock to genealogy for cutting edge development or large pay checks. So, in a way, I really think he was trying to bring in developer interest that looked more cutting edge and truly techie than anything we had done before. Also, by bringing in the users and developers I think he was also trying to show developers that there is a hungry user market waiting for new advances - and a VERY unique market at that: a group very passionate and devoted to the field, yet very helpful and tech savvy!
The thing is, I agree with him - to a point. This is a different conference. This is not NGS or FGS, nor any of the other jamborees out there....this is a technology conference....and technology conferences look different. Any attendee from last year can attest that things looked and FELT different - which was why we all loved it! It was NOT the same conference we were all used to. Someone had just combined what we love into something new....something that allowed us to give input into the development of future products.....while adding the fast paced social media interaction....all covered in sparkly gravy!
However, with all of that taken into consideration we all noted a few oddities that just didn't fit our field.
When I spotted the huge area devoted to video games and pool tables, I actually stopped in my tracks with my mouth open. So many little thoughts were bombarding my mind at that moment.
When I spotted the huge area devoted to video games and pool tables, I actually stopped in my tracks with my mouth open. So many little thoughts were bombarding my mind at that moment.
Here is the train of thought as it happened:
1. Very interesting and a very unique addition.
2. Wow, my 28 year old brother would LOVE this!
3. Oooh, so just like a REAL technology conference - play areas! Cool!
4. Great way to think outside the box!
5. This is WAY different than any other genealogy conference I've ever been to - which is what they promised!
6. Boy, all those young guys are sure having fun!7. I don't think those are young genealogists hogging all the video games and Foosball tables.
8. (Looking around) Come to think of it, where ARE all the genealogists? Oh there they are! Being interviewed in the sound/video booths and taking up massive space in the media centers to blog their experiences - in other words, working and not playing - being passionate about this conference!
Another area of concern was the mix-mash of sessions that didn't really allow for much developer/user interaction, but fostered birds of a feather learning opportunities. I really felt this could be improved upon for the next year, and I hope they make changes accordingly. For more on my RootsTech hits and misses from last year.....see my previous posts.
A concern that is growing for me since I witnessed it first hand last year and now hear of others complaining about the same issue, is a lack of communication from the RootsTech side. By not responding to exhibitors on a timely basis, they seriously hurt genealogy businesses, and present an unprofessional appearance. After our communication struggles as presenters last year, we thought this would be fixed for year two....but it sounds like the unprofessional qualities are gaining in reputation = bad form guys, you really need to step it up in this area! Especially with a cutting edge popular conference of this magnitude!
"You're taking away the books!? But the children LOVE the books!".....sorry, it's Christmas, I had to quote Elf for this one! Taking away all books and arts/crafts is silly and and a fundamental misunderstanding of your base audience. This is another fundamental flaw in conference planning. You have to UNDERSTAND your audience.....not just the tech developers you've invited, and who may be coming over from California (that's a joke, I know some are travelling great distances)....the real, everyday users who are paying TONS of money to fly out to Salt Lake in February to attend.....and who will ultimately anoint or sink your future developments!
Solution? Simple.....develop your conference exhibit hall policies around technologies and enforce them reasonably, on a case by case basis. I have no problem with them wanting to keep this a technology conference - I like the fact that when I walk into the exhibit hall, it's going to be different. It's not the same as all the other genealogy conferences out there - and it's ok to be that way. However, books are the fundamental basis of learning any new technology anyway. Seriously, I know that most user manuals are electronic these days....but there are still developers who learn new code through print manuals (XML Bible anyone?). And they must remember that THIS audience favors learning about new technologies through print! We love books, it's our nature - don't ask us to just set that aside to fit the developer mold. We will be paying YOU for the products, not the other way around - so accommodating our preferences is a GOOD idea!!!
So.....if we want this conference to look different, how do we compromise? RootsTech needs to tailor the acceptance policy around technology based products - including books! I think it would be acceptable for officials to limit products sold......for instance....someone mentioned Maia's books wanting to exhibit.....I LOVE her stuff and have blogged her praises here before....but require her to bring along a tech heavy inventory to make sure it fits in the atmosphere of the overall conference. Not forbid certain titles, but encourage tech-heavy material. I know most vendors would be happy to comply - and this should apply to tech publishers and arts/crafts people. Make sure they understand that they are exhibiting material that is in some way related to a technology product or process.
Someone commented earlier that it would be beneficial for the developers to be introduced to our reading material to LEARN about what we are passionate about! I wholeheartedly agree with that! How does a developer enter a citation template/format into a genealogy product without having Evidence Explained on hand? They do need our input or they would not be having this type of conference - well this is their turn to show us that they really do value our viewpoint and want to bring both perspectives together, not just bring the genealogists into the tech world. After all, without the Roots in RootsTech, they just have the same old technology conference.....booooring. Oh! And how about, instead of having the huge play area consist of Nintendo and Microsoft games, it is only filled with tech play that is genealogy related!!! Let's make the tech vendors play by the same rules! Genealogy ONLY tech related items allowed on the exhibit hall floor! How awesome would it be to have a line of stations with various genealogy tech products to play with? Roots Magic, Legacy, Flip-Pal, e-publishing/heirloom creation.....ok, that scene gets me really excited! If only.....hope they are listening!

High school football leftovers and analysis: A Bear of a task
Hoggard's loss to New Bern on Friday night ended the Vikings' season. But Hoggard may have provided a blueprint to stop New Bern's offense. As Hoggard coach Scott Braswell said after the game, New Bern is the likely favorite to win the state championship. "We played a very good football team tonight," Braswell said. "That's a team that could very easily win the state championship. Might even be favored. I haven't seen a team that could beat them yet, to… Read More »

Ted Nugent Revives False Report To Deny An Assault Weapon Was Used In Sandy Hook Massacre
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent relied on a false and outdated report frequently promoted by conspiracy theorists to claim that no assault weapons were used in the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. In fact, Connecticut authorities have stated that all of the Newtown victims were shot with a Bushmaster AR-15 assault weapon, with some victims receiving up to 11 gunshot wounds.
In a February 13 column for birther website WND, Nugent wrote, "No so-called assault weapon was used in the grisly murders of the children and teachers in Newton," and instead suggested that four handguns were used to kill 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. CNN recently promoted Nugent as having a "very firm grasp of the facts" about gun violence.
From Nugent's column:
Newsflash for he the sheeple Redcoat Piers: No so-called assault weapon was used in the grisly murders of the children and teachers in Newton, Conn. NBC has reported the butcher used four handguns, and though we can all agree that anything reported by the networks and so much of the media should be disbelieved out of hand, even if the Bushmaster modern sporting rifle were used in the demonic slaughter of innocents, semi-automatics are not "assault weapons." Period.
On December 15, one day after the Newtown shooting, NBC incorrectly reported that only handguns had been recovered from Sandy Hook Elementary. By that evening NBC Nightly News noted that "most of the shots fired inside the school came from an assault-style rifle" and on the December 16 edition of Today Show, NBC correspondent Pete Williams reported that "The medical examiner in Newtown says the children were each shot several times, all with an assault-style rifle." All other major news outlets have likewise reported that the shooter used a Bushmaster assault weapon.
Lt. J. Paul Vance, who is the spokesperson for the Connecticut State Police, has addressed rumors that the Newtown shooter had used handguns and not an assault rifle, stating, "It's all these conspiracy theorists that are trying to mucky up the waters":
Lt. J. Paul Vance, the face of an ongoing Connecticut State Police investigation into worst grade-school shooting in U.S. history, Thursday debunked media and Internet reports that Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza killed his victims with handguns and not the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S rifle that has been a focus of a proposed federal assault-weapons ban.
All 26 of Lanza's victims were shot with the .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle, said Vance, who bristled at claims to the contrary during an interview with Hearst Connecticut Newspapers.
"It's all these conspiracy theorists that are trying to mucky up the waters," said Vance, the longtime state police spokesman.
Multiple Second Amendment and gun-owner websites have attempted to cast doubt on whether the Bushmaster XM-15, a type of AR-15 rifle that is currently legal, was used in the Dec. 14 carnage done by Lanza.
Indeed, the NBC News segment Nugent cited has been used to stoke such conspiracies.
Nugent's argument that firearms like the Bushmaster "are not 'assault weapons'" is also false. Before the gun industry attempted to rebrand assault weapons as "modern sporting rifles" in 2009, gun manufacturers, firearms enthusiasts and advocates for an assault weapons ban all used the term "assault weapon" to specifically refer to military-style semi-automatic rifles, like the one used in the Newtown massacre.
In his column, Nugent also claimed, "The AR-15 has more in common with a common .22 semi-automatic squirrel rifle than a military assault weapon." This statement is highly misleading as the AR-15 was directly derived from the military standard issue M16 rifle. As one 1985 advertisement for a Colt AR-15 put it, "The AR-15A2 Sporter II is the civilian version of the battle proven and recently improved U.S. military M-16A1." Furthermore, while the .223 caliber ammunition commonly used in AR-15 rifles and the 5.56mm ammunition used by M16 rifle are quite similar, the ammunition used by a .22 caliber hunting rifle is quite different and has a much lower velocity and penetrating ability.

The 23rd Annual Goodguys West Coast Nationals
For the past 22 years, some of the finest hot rods, customs, and classic cars on the West Coast have gathered at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, California, as part of the Goodguys West Coast Nationals. Over 3,500 cars rolled in for the August weekend festivities which included hot rod seminars, vendor exhibits, swap meet and car corral, and our favorite, the mini engine display. The Goodguys staff was busy all weekend handing out endless awards to a sea of worthy cars, while we seemed to have the easy job: picking 10 cars to add to the Turtle Wax Top 100 finalists list.
While the show formally kicked off Friday morning, the week preceding the event was packed full of gearhead activities for those who wanted to get things started early. Known as "Hot Rod Week," the Goodguys had tours planned each day that left the Hilton host hotel departing for different Bay Area destinations, taking in various local shops, sites, and museums that catered to us hot rodders.
This year, the West Coast Nats had a very special feature in the Roy Brizio Street Rod Reunion. Gathering over 100 Brizio-built cars for the first time in history, it was definitely an impressive sight to behold. The Brizio crew was on hand fielding questions and Roy was signing copies of his new coffee table book, Roy Brizio Street Rods: Modern Hot Rods Defined. It's easy to forget the impact the shop has had on the traditional hot rod movement until their body of work can be taken in at once, in person; it truly is spectacular.
We managed to fit in the weekend's events on our way home from Bonneville Speed Week, capping off a most excellent road trip. From the hot rods on the salt to the hot rods cruising the fairgrounds, we definitely needed to decompress upon returning to the daily grind. Next year, we're going to try to make it out early for Hot Rod Week and put some more miles under our belt. Hope to see you on the road!
Turtle Wax Tech Tips
Clean Wheels and Tires Regularly
Turtle Wax introduced ICE wheel and tire cleaner and ICE tire shine. It's important to clean your wheels and tires regularly since brake dust, grease, and other harmful road elements can cause corrosion and damage. With ICE wheel and tire cleaner, you can remove buildup and grime in one step.
The concentrated formula removes road soil buildup on tire sidewalls and brightens lettering with its unique low pH formula and co-solvent cleaners. It also breaks down brake dust and other road debris for an easy clean up. It is safe for use on all aluminum, chrome, steel, painted, and clearcoated wheels, as well as all makes of rubber tires.
Handy Tips Headers:
Block hugger headers for Ford small-block engines have long been around but they have often caused interference with the motor mounts. To keep a street rod look but with more options for motor mounts check out Ford Racing's SR header (M-9430-SR302), which features a semi-clamshell design to resist cracking.
Modular engines seem to be getting more popular due to their unique look and excellent driveability but headers can be an issue. Luckily Hanksville Hotrods (www.hanksvillehotrods.com) makes Two-Valve block huggers and lake-style headers and Sanderson (www.sandersonheaders.com) produces Four-Valve block huggers. In some cars like the Factory Five Hot Rod we built last year, you can use factory-style headers originally designed for Mustangs. In fact BBK just began producing their Two-Valve header with a Three-Valve flange to make it easy to squeeze a Ford Three-Valve into a Factory Five. If you'd prefer to build your own headers, SPD Exhaust produces flanges for just about any Ford engine you can imagine (www.spdexhaust.com).

People invest in what they believe will be safe. Real estate, historically, has been a good investment for most Americans. But when the federal government pushes and bribes big lenders to make imprudent loans, and the predictable avalanche of defaults occurs, then an artificial glut of housing drives down the market price and strips hard-working families of the investment that had been the principal economic asset of the family.
When the price of energy is high, then the investment market ought to push up the price of energy company stocks. This influx of private funds would not be a "windfall" for anyone. Capital is needed to explore for oil, build nuclear power plants, mine coal, and build pipelines and refineries. But when the federal government closes off land for energy exploration, places public relations driven moratoria on drilling in the Gulf Coast, imposes regulations that make coal mining uneconomical, and bullies energy companies with threats of more punitive actions, then the price of energy stocks stays lower than the need for private capital would suggest in a free market. Even buying oil can be an uncertain investment as the economic meltdown of economies drives down the price of oil. So, while in a free market the need for more and cheaper energy would make this area of the economy a good investment, interference with the free market creates realistic doubt.
The same is true, to a large extent, of private securities in general. Which industry should earn investment dollars? Should people invest in the fast food industry? What happens to those stocks when nanny-state regulators require warning labels on Big Macs? Or what happens when anti-Christian troublemakers threaten Chick-fil-A because its owner is a kindly and generous elderly Christian? What happens when someone sues Burger King because he ate so many Whoppers that he became one himself? The complex of statist officers, litigious loafers, and scandal-mongering media makes otherwise sound investments wobbly risks.
Foreign currencies and bonds can be a good investment in this sort of climate, but when Greece and Portugal have their bonds reduced to junk bonds, when the euro teeters on the edge of free fall, and when the nations of Western Europe look more like dominos than major economies in the world, then foreign bonds and currencies are also a bad investment.
There is one investment, in times when sensible people do not trust the honor or prudence of government officials, which has great appeal: gold. Diamonds, another form of portable wealth, require expertise to evaluate and while these are good investments in troubling times for those who know what they are doing, that expertise is vital. Gold, by contrast, needs only to be pure to be valuable and that value is easy to judge.
Gold is rising very fast these days. It is now $1,600 an ounce, a record high price for this most fundamental of precious metals and also a symbolic barrier that can influence investors. It spiked, briefly, at a high of $1,607.40 an ounce. The price of gold has now risen for 11 consecutive days. That is the longest period of daily increases in 31 years. Anyone who watches television can see all the advertisements for gold — and most people want the actual gold, not stock in a gold mine or even gold futures, which reflects just how anxious and worried most Americans are these days.
The price of gold in dollars also has to compete with the price of gold in other currencies and in other nations. Americans are not alone in feeling that the mandated currency of their country is backed up, these days, with little more than the smiling faces of politicians. Silver also has been rising fast, at $40.34 an ounce, the highest since early May. Precious metals in general are high. Platinum, for example is selling at over $1,770 an ounce.
How high will gold go? Gold will go as high as voters in nations whose crushing burden of debt, entitlements, and taxes allows it to go. Utah has already made gold legal tender, and Congressman Paul recently pressed Ben Bernanke of the Federal Reserve System whether he considered gold to be "money." This "expert" in currency was unable to present a plausible response, and state governments, trying to protect their citizens, are more and more considering the language of Article I, Section 10, Paragraph 1, which provides that no state shall "make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of debts."
When gold rises high enough, when a critical mass of states enact laws making gold legal tender within their borders, when enough business flees states with fiat money into states like Utah with stable and actual money, then our nation will have reached a foundation point from which we can grow again. When gold was money and when currency was backed by gold, then this precious metal was a poor investment. Now, it seems, gold is the only game in town.

This is awful.
The article says Benoit's is also getting the boot, so I assume everything on that row of stores is a goner?
The news is not as bad as first feared. As per someone who asked the restaurant owner:
1. They may be able to stay open as late as March.
2. They hope to reopen in a new location nearby.
We used to live really close to Carne and besides the chicken, it was a favorite breakfast spot for us to take visitors to. Everyone loved it.
the listing, complete with floor plan:
Little Miss Muffin has a sign on their door saying Saturday will be their last day.
As much as I like a diner, I was never very impressed with Z-7 beyond its 24-hour schedule (sometimes you need a snack at 12am...)That was the best part of it. I can't think of any other 24 hour options for prepared food around there (i.e. not Key Food). Though they were oddly closed on New Years Eve, when all I wanted around 2am was a damned grilled cheese sandwich and a plate of fries.

Rod Broadway became the 18th head coach in the history of North Carolina A&T football on Feb. 3, 2011. Broadway has spread success to various collegiate programs over the past 15 years as a head coach. He has five conference championships spread out over three different schools and conferences. He has won a Black College Football National Championship at each stop as well including North Carolina Central (2006), Grambling State (2008) and North Carolina A&T State University (2015).
His latest Black College National Championship and conference title came after the Aggies completed the 2015 season 10-2 overall, 7-1 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and won the inaugural Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl. Also during the 2015 season, he became the 26th active FCS coach to record 100 wins after a 27-3 triumph over Norfolk State on Oct. 10 earned him the milestone.
Broadway teams have also played in three NCAA postseason tournaments. He led NCCU to two Division II playoff appearances in 2005 and 2006, and in 2016 he led the Aggies to the NCAA FCS playoffs. At the end of the 2015 season, Broadway was named American Urban Radio Network Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year. Running back Tarik Cohen was named AURN Doug Williams Offensive Player of the Year, marking the second time in Broadway's career he coached the black college football offensive player of the year.
The Aggies football program has made tremendous strides under Broadway's stewardship. A year before Broadway's arrival, the Aggies were 1-10. As Broadway enters his seventh season, the Aggies are 47-22 with two MEAC championships, the Black College Football title and a win in the inaugural Celebration Bowl in Atlanta in 2015. The Aggies' 2014 MEAC title was their first in 11 years, and when they won the conference title again in '15 it marked the school's first back-to-back conference title since the 1991, '92 seasons.
N.C. A&T also earned two of its biggest wins in program history under Broadway. In 2013, the Aggies defeated three-time FCS national champion Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. It was the first time the Mountaineers had lost to an in-state opponent at home since 1984. In 2016, the Aggies defeated a Division I-FBS school for the first time in program history with a 39-36 quadruple overtime win at Kent State.
The five straight winning seasons are the programs longest such streak since the Aggies produced six straight winning seasons between 1996-2001. Thirty-three different players have earned All-MEAC honors under Broadway at N.C. A&T, including 13 players in 2016, the most in school history. There have been 18 first-team All-MEAC selections under Broadway and nine players have earned some type of All-American honor, which included center Ronald Canty earning Associated Press and American Football Coaches Association All-American recognition and punt returner Khris Gardin earning STATS FCS and Athletics Directors Association All-American honors. Cohen is a three-time All-American by STATS.
Broadway turned the Aggies into a winner despite numerous obstacles he inherited when he arrived on campus in February of 2011. Broadway took over a program mired in NCAA sanctions stemming from a low graduation rate. Thus, Broadway took on the task of building a winner despite having reduced practice hours, fewer scholarships and little to no spring practice. Instead of making excuses, Broadway changed the football culture at A&T. He revitalized A&T's program with a stingy defense and a stringent focus on accountability on the football field and in the classroom.
One of his first initiatives was to make his players proud of the A&T legacy. Before each home game, they visit the statue (on campus) of four men and former A&T students (David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Joseph A. McNeil and Jibreel Khazan formerly known as Ezell Blair, Jr.) largely credited with ushering in the modern day civil rights movement with their famous Feb. 1, 1960 sit-in at a Greensboro F.W. Woolworth's lunch counter. In addition, A&T's annual academic progress rate score, the score that measures progress toward degree, improved to 944 in single year 2011-12, releasing the Aggies from NCAA sanctions. The single-year score improved to 948 the following year and increased to 958 in 2013-14.
The foundation for the Aggies' resurgence on the field has been defense. The only season the Aggies failed to finish in the top-20 nationally in total defense was 2016. They have ranked No. 2 nationally in total defense twice. The run defense has finished outside of the top-10 only once under Broadway, and in 2013 the Aggies led the nation in run defense. In 2012, the Aggies ranked No. 1 nationally in pass defense efficiency. The Aggies have not been bad on offense either under Broadway. In his first year, Broadway became the first Aggie head coach in school history to produce a 2,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver. In four of his years, he has had the MEAC Offensive Player of the Year. In 2011, Wallace Miles became the first player in school history to have a 1,000-yard receiving season.
The NFL has come calling since Broadway's arrival as well. Tarik Cohen became the Aggies first NFL draft pick in 12 years when he was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago Bears in 2017. Mayhew, William Ray Robinson III, Nathan Isles, Ayodeji Olatoye, Desmond Lawrence, Miles and Tony McRae have all earned invites to NFL camps. Isles, Miles, Olatoye and McRae signed free agent contracts with NFL teams. Miles still plays in the CFL and receiver Kevin Francis was selected in the CFL supplemental draft by Saskatchewan in 2015.
Broadway has compiled a 114-44 (.722) record over 14 years as a head coach. Before taking over the difficult task of rebuilding an Aggies program with just 14 wins in the previous seven seasons before his arrival, Broadway spent four seasons (2007-10) at Grambling State. The Tigers went 35-12 under his leadership. The year before he arrived at GSU, the Tigers went 3-8. During his first season, the Tigers finished second in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and made an appearance in the SWAC Championship Game. Five players received either All-American or All-SWAC honors, and Broadway was a finalist for the nationally-recognized Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award. Year two led to even more improvements for the GSU program. The Tigers ascended to the top of the SWAC with a 9-0 record and a 41-9 win over Jackson State in the SWAC Championship Game. GSU's 2008 season also produced, a No. 24 national ranking in the Sports Network Division I-FCS poll and a Black College National Championship.
Defense was the catalyst for the Tigers' success as they finished the season ranked No. 1 nationally in turnover margin, pass efficiency defense and had a No. 7 ranking in rush defense. In addition, three players earned All-American honors, nine were named All-SWAC and five players earned Louisiana Sports Writers Association recognition. Accolades for Broadway included being named SWAC Coach of the Year and The Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., Coach of the Year. Broadway owns the best winning percentage in program history, even better than legendary GSU head coach Eddie Robinson.
Before his stint at GSU, Broadway turned N.C. Central into a Division II national power. His four-year stint (2003-06) at N.C. Central produced a 33-11 record, back-to-back CIAA titles for the first time in 50 years and the Eagles made two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. The 2006 season was the highlight of Broadway's tenure at NCCU. Broadway led the Eagles to an 11-1 season and the top seed in the NCAA Division II Southeast Region. After fielding the No. 1 rated offense in the CIAA and the 15th ranked defense nationally, individual honors included two players being named Associated Press Little All-Americans.
There were also 12 players named All-CIAA, 10 players named Daktronics All-Southeast Region and four players were named SBN All-Americans from the 2006 team. Quarterback Stadford Brown was named SBN Player of the Year. During his stint at NCCU, Broadway also put together a 16-game regular-season winning streak.
Broadway began his collegiate coaching career at East Carolina University in 1979. His other coaching positions included stays at Duke University (1981-94), the University of Florida (1995-00) and the University of North Carolina (2001-02). At Florida, he served as a member of the Steve Spurrier's staff, and in 1996 he helped the Gators win an NCAA National Championship. Broadway's stay also included four SEC Championships and six bowl appearances. The Gators defense led the SEC in sacks four straight seasons (1996-99), and the team set a school record for fewest rushing yards allowed, as offenses produced just 70.7 yards per game.
A 1977 graduate of UNC, Broadway played on the Tar Heels defensive line from 1974-77. He earned the team's Outstanding Freshman award in 1974 as he helped the Tar Heels earn a Sun Bowl berth. In 1977, he earned All-ACC honors along with the team's Most Outstanding Senior honor.
Broadway and his wife LaTonia live in Greensboro. They have three sons and six grandchildren.

Thomas Appointed Assistant Professor of Physics at Clarkson University
Joshua D. Thomas has been appointed assistant professor of physics at Clarkson University.
He received his bachelor of science and master of science degrees and his Ph.D., all in physics, from the University of Toledo. He had a concentration in astrophysics for his bachelor's degree and graduated magna cum laude with departmental honors.
Before accepting this post, he was a visiting assistant professor at Clarkson and a teaching and graduate assistant at the University of Toledo.
His research interests include laboratory astrophysics, numerical simulation, observational astronomy, and spectroscopy. While pursuing his studies in Ohio, some of his research experience was with observational spectroscopy and radiative transfer simulation, accelerator-based atomic physics, young stellar objects, and laboratory astrophysics.
Thomas has written academic articles and made numerous presentations and scholarly talks on his field over the years.
Northern New York residents had the opportunity to hear him speak in December 2012 at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake. His talk, "The Comets Are Coming, The Comets Are Coming," was via an invitation from the Adirondack Public Observatory. He also gave two public lectures on astronomy as part of the "Science Cafe" series in Canton and Potsdam in February.
He received scholarships and honors while at the University of Toledo, including Astronomy Bag Lunch Seminar, Best Graduate Student Presentation, Fall 2011; Ed Foster Graduate Scholarship, 2011; Sigma Xi Research Symposium, First Place in Poster Division, 2004; Ohio Space Grant Consortium, Senior Space Grant 2003-2004; and Ohio Space Grant Consortium, Junior Space Grant, 2002-2003.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Springfield College tallied eight unanswered goals through the opening 23 minutes en route to a 15-4 victory over MIT in a Pilgrim Lacrosse League game on Saturday. In their season finale, the Engineers (4-9, 2-5 Pilgrim) were led by Dan Piemont's three goals. Ryan Thibodeau posted a game-high four goals for the Pride (8-6, 6-0 Pilgrim), which will be the No. 1 seed in next week's Pilgrim League Championship Tournament.
Joe Heney put Springfield on the board after 48 seconds expired, connecting on a pass from Jake Beebe. Thibodeau extended the Pride's lead less than four minutes later before Tyler Montgomery recorded back-to-back strikes during the final five minutes of the frame.
Springfield found the back of the net three times during the first three minutes of the second quarter. Jake Jones sparked the run, followed by Joe Macchi and Chris McMaster. Thibodeau tallied the Pride's last goal of the period to make the score 8-0 at the 7:46 mark. MIT ended the shutout with 2:19 remaining in the half when Ryan Ballentine intercepted a pass at midfield and found Piemont for the goal.
Kyle Louer's solo effort following the opening faceoff of the third quarter increased the Pride's lead to 9-1. The Engineers narrowed the gap on another Piemont strike that was set up by Dylan Roden. Louer countered with an unassisted goal midway through the period as Thibodeau scored two minutes later.
In the final frame, Austin Orsini converted a feed from Chris McMaster inside the first minute to raise Springfield's advantage to 12-2. Piemont completed the hat-trick when he swatted in the rebound of a save right in front of the net. Thibodeau, Joe Femia, and Sean Runyon each contributed to a 3-0 spurt for the Pride that spanned three minutes. Eric Zuk recorded the final goal of the day with 26 seconds on the clock.
Roden and Mark Spadafora each picked up three groundballs while Samuel Jasinski collected eight saves in net for MIT.
Chris Jez and Evan Buss paced Springfield with three groundballs apiece. In net, Tom Albano made four saves during the first half while Matt Cipolla closed out the game with three stops.

U.S. families will continue to pay less for gasoline but most will spend more on heating this winter, the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration said Wednesday.
The EIA forecast retail gasoline to average $3.24 a gallon in the fourth quarter, 10 cents less than what it had predicted last month.
Gasoline prices are seen averaging $3.50 a gallon this year and $3.39 a gallon in 2014, compared with $3.63 a gallon last year.
The EIA also released a winter fuel expenses outlook. With heating, it will depend on which fuel is used. The EIA forecast families using natural gas and electricity to heat their homes will pay more this year, while those using heating oil will see small savings.
About a third of U.S. families use natural gas for heating, and on average they will pay $665 this winter to heat their homes, compared with $598 last winter, the EIA said. That's an increase of 11%.
Residents of the Northeast will see the biggest jump in prices: 15% to a bill of $1,016 this winter, from $883 last year. The regional differences are due to weather patterns, regional changes in production and regulations, and pipeline capacity, the EIA said.
Homes relying on heating oil this winter will spend $2,006, from $2,092 last winter. Heating oil use is more prevalent in the Northeast, where about a quarter of the homes use it.
Households using electricity for heating, or about 40% of U.S. homes, will spend $906 for heating this winter, versus $890 last winter.
Winter temperatures are expected to be similar as last year, the EIA said.

Batterie and battement
Batterie/Battement: Movements in which the legs and feet 'beat' together quickly, usually as part of a jump. They may be performed as part of a jetés, entrechats trois, quatre, cinq, changements, grand jeté, etc. The difference between grande batterie and petite batterie [ lit. 'big' and 'small' batterie] depends upon the amount of elevation the dancer needs to jump to perform the 'beating'.
i) Petits battements / battements tendus: extensions of the leg in which the working foot does not leave the ground, used to practise stretching the foot to a fully pointed position. See video above.
ii) Grands battements: high extensions of the whole leg, which is raised into the air and brought down again while keeping the rest of the body still.
Grand battements: watch Romany Pajdak, Royal Ballet First Artist, demonstrate grand battements.

Hour of TwilightWith the Dragon Soul retrieved from the past, the Heroes of Azeroth now prepare for the final confrontation with Deathwing. In the frozen wastes of Northrend, the towering spire of Wyrmrest Temple is under the assault of Deathwing's Twilight forces. In order to save Azeroth, Thrall must arrive safely at the temple with the Dragon Soul in hand.

Asira Dawnslayer
Former blade-for-hire Asira Sunbright was initially leery of working for the Twilight's Hammer, but the cult's generous payments quickly won her over.

As one of the cult's deadliest assassins, Asira has been called upon to exterminate Thrall and his comrades.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Hezbollah-dominated areas near the Israeli border Thursday as part of his state visit to Lebanon.
Before his trip to Bint Jbeil, Ahmadinejad had a lunch meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and President Michel Suleiman, The New York Times reported. He traveled south by helicopter to Bint Jbeil, one of Hezbollah's major strongholds.
Ahmadinejad told the thousands of people who had come to hear him that the goal is for "the Zionists to be wiped out." Iran helped rebuild Bint Jbeil, two miles from the border, after it was almost destroyed by Israeli bombing.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in Tel Aviv, responded to Ahmadinejad's remarks by saying Israeli citizens will continue to build their country and are ready to defend it, Ynetnews reported.
"We've heard cursing and abomination from the Lebanon border today. The best answer to these blasphemies was given here 62 years ago," Netanyahu said, referring to Israel's founding in 1948.
Ahmadinejad has been hailed as a hero by many in Lebanon since his arrival Wednesday. But some leaders fear his visit could increase the splits in the coalition government.

In financial analysis, you will quickly find that communication is one of the most important parts of your job. Whether you are communicating with your coworkers, clients, or customers, you will need to be an effective communicator and know how to communicate well. There are many benefits to having good communication skills in financial analysis.
Productivity – Good communication can increase productivity. If you communicate effectively, you will find that you repeat yourself less, clarify details less often, and therefore have people wasting less time on clarifying task details and spending more time on the task itself. As an effective communicator, you will ensure that your superiors and subordinates alike understand your goals, your priorities, and your tasks and therefore will know what you are doing and can move forward on the tasks you have passed to your subordinates efficiently.
Improves Morale – Additionally, it has been shown that when a manager communicates his or her goals and expectations effectively, his people will want to come to work and perform. Having a workplace that feels confident in the expectations of their management team has much higher than morale than a workplace where the expectations are unclear. Therefore, effective communication can improve the overall morale of the workplace.
Development of the Team – Effective communication can help improve the development of a work team. If you are communicating the goals of a department, the expectations of a team, the team will work better together. Therefore, effective communication from the financial analysis supervisors will help the team communicate more effectively with each other and subsequently improve the development of the financial analysis team
Effective communication is important in financial analysis. Remembering how it can have an impact can be very important in making you a successful financial analysis professional.

I am notoriously bad at crafts. I think Pinterest is the devil because my crafts NEVER turn out the way they should, regardless of how easy someone claims the project is. As such, I have just about given up trying homemade things lately.
However, I discovered a website (The Crafty Collaborative) that features several daring women who try out various crafts and recipes and then let you know the honest scoop on how "easy" they really are! You get pros and cons from multiple ladies who are testing out the same craft so you know if it really is something worth trying! I appreciate this on so many levels!
Their most recent art project was making a homemade iron-on design using only sandpaper and crayons! This looked like a legitimate project to me and the ladies all testified that it was, so my kids and I sat down to attempt it too.
*To try this yourself, you will need the following items:
- Crayons (old crayons would work great because they will get worn down on the sandpaper)
- Sandpaper
- An Iron
- Paper Towels
- A plain t-shirt, tote bag, pillowcase, etc. that you can put a decal on
I love that the materials for this project are all things that you probably have just lying around the house! Cheap and easy? YES, PLEASE!
The kids sat down and colored a design on their individual sheets of sandpaper (we used the thin grit so it was easier to color on).
When they were finished, I flipped the paper over, lined it up on an old white t-shirt, and ironed it on. It only took about 5 seconds to get the picture on the t-shirt! Then, I put a paper towel over the t-shirt picture and ironed a few times to get the excess wax off.
Voila; new art shirts for school (we purposely tested this out on daddy's old t-shirts because they would be used for messy art projects anyway and I was still a little skeptical of the outcome, given my history of crafting).
You do have to push down on the crayons a little harder than usual to make sure that the picture is really bright on the sandpaper or the picture will be faint (notice that my son's shirt is not nearly as bright in certain spots because he didn't color as hard).
And, if you want to put any words or numbers in the picture, you have to remember to write them backwards on the paper or they will show up backwards on the shirt. My son forgot that rule and had to adjust his picture accordingly (BUT MOM, HOW DO YOU DRAW A FOOTBALL PLAYER WITHOUT THEIR NAME AND JERSEY NUMBER?! – a question that should have been asked before he started drawing seeing as though I only had 2 pieces of sandpaper at that time), which is why his looks a little wonky – he tried to turn the numbers/letters he drew into helmets on a football field, but he gets his artistic ability from his mama so it is what it is.
The whole point of my rambling is that the project was SO simple and required very little preparation, no specialty tools, little to no money, and very little work on my part – HOORAY! It is definitely something that I would recommend trying with your kids the next time they get "bored" or if you need a cute gift for a grandparent or family member.
Thanks The Crafty Collaborative for reviewing this fun idea so that I was brave enough to try it myself!
