Several vehicles were involved in a massive pileup on I-57 Thursday night near southwest suburban Peotone.
According to the Illinois State Police, the chain-reaction crashes occurred around 4:40 p.m. near mile post 332 and 333.
Seven tractor semi-trailers and approximately 12 passenger vehicles were involved in the pileup.
At least one semi caught on fire, but police say no hazardous material were involved.
One car had to be extricated from underneath a semi by emergency crews.
Ten people were taken to area hospitals with non life-threatening injuries.
Both lanes sides of the interstate were closed for several hours following the crash. The southbound lanes reopened first, and as of 9:30 p.m., the left lanes on the northbound side had reopened.
Low visibility due to the fog is blamed for the crashes.

Bring On The Sunshine: The FDA Wants To Make Sunscreen Safer
Today, the FDA announced that it wants to clean up the U.S. sunscreen industry by further investigating the safety and efficacy of different options on the market.
The FDA proposal would require sunscreen companies to list active ingredients on the front of their products and cap the maximum SPF value on labels to "60+", since anything higher won't necessarily be more effective at blocking out the sun's rays. In addition, the FDA opened its doors to companies and scientists who have data on 12 chemicals commonly used in sunscreens that might pose a threat to human health, particularly oxybenzone, which has been linked to increased rates of endometriosis in women and disrupted sperm production in men.
"Sunscreen usage has changed, with more people using these products more frequently and in larger amounts. At the same time, sunscreen formulations have evolved as companies innovated. Today's action is an important step in the FDA's ongoing efforts to take into account modern science to ensure the safety and effectiveness of sunscreens," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., said in a statement.
The next step for the agency will be reviewing sunscreens on the market and their ingredients before making a final rule.
This is the first time in decades that the FDA has attempted to update its sunscreen requirements. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a longtime advocate of stricter regulation for the industry, applauded the announcement on a press call this afternoon.
"The FDA's announcement is going to send a lightning bolt through the sunscreen industry. It's long overdue, but it's incredibly welcome news," Scott Faber, the senior VP for government affairs at EWG, said on the call. "It's great news for consumers who are seeking products that work and are safe but aren't designed to confuse." Watch this space.

PRINCETON, N.J. (11/10/12) - Senior netminder Mike Condon earned
his first shutout of the season as the Princeton men's hockey team
defeated Colgate 4-0 on Saturday, Nov. 10 at Hobey Baker Rink.
The Tigers swept the weekend, after defeating No. 4 Cornell 5-3 yesterday afternoon.
Princeton got on the board with a power-play goal late in the first period and padded the lead with a goal in the first two minutes of the second. The Tigers finished off the Raiders with a pair of goals midway through the third.
Freshman Mike Ambrosia notched his first career goal at 19:46 when Princeton capitalized on a 5x3 opportunity after a hitting from behind and a boarding call on Kyle Baun and Darcy Murphy. Ambrosia picked up the puck in the neutral zone and skated to the center where he backhanded a pass to junior Andrew Calof. Calof skated around his defender to the bottom of the right circle and put the puck in the slot where Ambrosia could bury it glove side on Spencer Finney as sophomore Tyler Maugeri set a screen on the right side.
Zajac earned his second goal of the weekend as he gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead at 1:24 of the second period. He set up his own goal as he gained possession back for Princeton when he banged the puck free in the low right corner. Junior captain Jack Berger pushed it off the boards and into the circle where senior Rob Kleebaum one-timed it at Finney. Finney made the stop but the rebound came back to Kleebaum who fired again where it hit the pad of Finney and Zajac was able to pop it in on the right side as he was stationed at the post.
Princeton scored twice within 1:27 in the third period, with goals by Maugeri and senior defender Michael Sdao.
It was a seamless 1-2-3 as Andrew Ammon stripped Goulakos of the puck at the blue line, Calof picked it up and skated into the circle and sent the puck across the paint to Maugeri who put it into the right side.
The final Princeton goal was much like a power-play goal as junior Eric Meland slid the puck across the blue line to D partner Sdao who wristed a shot that beat Finney. Kleebaum would get the secondary assist by dishing to Meland along the boards.
Princeton was 1 for 6 on the power play and 6 for 6 on the penalty kill. The Tigers outshot the Raiders 15-3 in the first period and 11-8 in the second. Colgate got the upperhand in the third with 11 shots to Princeton's nine but senior netminder Condon made 11 big saves to keep the clean sheet in the final frame. Condon finished the game with 22 saves to earn his second win and first shutout of the season.
Finney made 31 stops for Colgate who falls to 4-6-1 overall and 0-3-1 in the ECAC. Princeton is now 2-2 and 2-0 in the league.
Princeton will hit the road for the next seven games. First up is a trip to the North Country to face Coach Bob Prier's alma mater St. Lawrence on Nov. 16 and then Clarkson on Nov. 17.

J.J. Barnhardt's '32 Ford
Like any good nickname, the best car monikers have to come from an outside source. It's not like you can just start calling yourself "The Lady Killer" or "Mr. Money Bags" and expect it to stick with all your buddies, right? The same goes for really good car names that live on for decades once struck up by a third party.
This situation recently happened to J.J. Barnhardt and his '32 Ford coupe on its very first outing after years of construction and perfecting at the famous SO-CAL Speed Shop in Pomona. Working up to that fateful date, J.J. had been one of the men behind the scenes organizing the Petersen Automotive Museum's 75th anniversary celebration of the '32 Ford, "Deuce Week." This event would include a week of driving events, dinners with speaking sessions by hot rod legends, an impromptu concert with rock legends, a display inside the museum with some of the most famous and beloved '32 Fords, and finally end with a large outdoor display with just about every shape and style of '32 Ford ever made. The majority of these Deuces were some of the most gorgeous hot rods ever put together since many were almost-new to present builds finished just hours before the show.
J.J.'s car fits into the latter, being that he took possession of his freshly completed car from SO-CAL president Pete Chapouris the night before the event. J.J.'s coupe received plenty of praise and admiration at Deuce Week, but it got some really special attention from '32 Ford aficionados Roy Brizio and guitarist Jeff Beck. While admiring the coupe, Jeff noted to Roy that he would really like a color similar to the one on J.J.'s coupe for his own five-window. When they asked J.J. about the color, he was both a bit protective of the special blend and equally stumped, as it was a totally custom mix without a true name. That's when Jeff Beck said in his best native British accent, "Well, it's the color of Champagne, mate!" From that moment on, the car has been known as the Champagne Coupe.
The upper-class, refined demeanor of J.J.'s '32 is something fairly new to the old coupe. See, it was only a few years ago that it was found by SO-CAL employee John Reed languishing in a Southern California garage as a forlorn old hot rod that had not seen the road for multiple decades. The really good news was that some unknown rodder had started with a nearly perfect car, modified it lightly, and then for some unknown reason parked it inside a garage where it sat for at least 40-plus years. This long-term hibernation had been very kind to the car, and John showed J.J. the recently acquired five-window when he mentioned to John that he really wanted a nice three-window coupe.
At first J.J. was not sold on the idea, but it hit him what a perfect hot rod a well-chopped '32 Ford five-window makes after studying many early rod magazines. After a series of multiple sleepless nights, J.J. made a deal with John and had the coupe moved inside the SO-CAL facility for a full buildup.
With the basic game plan of a late-'50s hot rod, SO-CAL shop foreman Ryan Reed headed up the project and guided the coupe's transformation with input from both Pete and owner J.J. An early decision was made for a unique powerplant, which came in the form of a Buick Nailhead. This selection would require careful planning since the length of the Buick mill generally requires a substantial loss of interior room-a loss in which J.J. was not interested. So, without stretching the wheelbase or hood length (a common solution), the Nailhead was carefully shoehorned into the SO-CAL chassis and fitted with one-off pulleys and hardware to make everything fit in the limited confines of the '32 engine compartment. A Tremec five-speed backs up the 401ci engine, followed by a bulletproof Ford 9-inch rearend. A selection of traditional pieces from the SO-CAL catalog make up the front suspension with original Mercury wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich wide whitewalls for rolling stock.
Once the chassis was squared away, the nearly factory-perfect body was next on the list. It was handed over to the Kennedy Brothers just around the corner in Pomona for a proper 2 1/2-inch roof slice before returning to SO-CAL for final massaging by Luis Padilla and the custom-mixed squirt job by Mick Jenkins. When the paint was dry, Gabe's Upholstery stitched up the black and white leather upholstery and Jimmy Shine added his touch with a custom wiring harness.
Now, like a bottle of fine wine (or Champagne), J.J. Barnhardt's '32 coupe will only get better and more appreciated as time goes by.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
J.J. Barnhardt
Century city, California
1932 Ford coupe
Starting with a fresh SO-CAL Speed Shop step-boxed perimeter frame, Ryan Reed added all the goodies from SO-CAL that have proven to be an excellent performing package. Up front, a Magnum 4-inch dropped I-beam is tied to the 'rails by a pair of SO-CAL hairpins and fitted on both ends with a pair of SO-CAL Buick-style disc brakes. A Vega steering box points the coupe in the right direction, and a pair of Pete & Jake's shocks smooth out the bumps in the road. Under the rear, a 9-inch housing is located by a pair of SO-CAL ladder bars and fitted with a pair of SO-CAL drum brakes and another pair of Pete & Jake's shocks.
Ray Zellar of La Habra, California, put together the healthy 401ci Buick mill. He dressed it out with a pair of 500-cfm Edelbrock carbs on a dual manifold flanked by a pair of finned aluminum Offenhauser valve covers. Spark comes from an MSD ignition, and Jimmy Shine modified a pair of Sanderson headers to fit in the very limited space left with the Nailhead squeezed into the Ford chassis. Mated to the Buick engine is a bit of modern convenience in the form of a Tremec manual transmission with the all-important Fifth gear. The trans looks legit from the inside of the car thanks to a specially modified '39 Ford shifter grafted into place.
Wheels & Tires
A set of original '49-51 Mercury 15×5-inch rims, with the rears running the traditional reversed outer rims, nails the late-'50s hot rod look. Wrapping the Mercury rim cap-and-ring combo is a set of repo BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whites (5.90x15s up front and 8.20x15s tucked under the rear).
Body & Paint
Starting with really nice sheetmetal made all the difference in this project, but that didn't mean it could not be improved via a 2 1/2-inch haircut by the Kennedy Brothers before heading back to the SO-CAL Speed Shop for prep and paint by Luis Padilla and Mick Jenkins. Meticulous prep work was made to sharpen all the bodylines before the custom-mixed Champagne-flavored hue was sprayed on the precious tin. A filled and peaked shell, flanked by SO-CAL Arrow headlights, sits up front, with a pair of '42-48 Chevy taillights mounted in the rear.
Completing the period-perfect build is a set of ultra-traditional black and white leather threads stitched by Gabe's Upholstery in Bloomington, California. When J.J. takes the wheel it's a cut-down Vintique '40 Ford-style unit he holds in his hands while facing a chromed and painted original dash fitted with Stewart Warner gauges.

Feminists Against Sweatshops
Women make up 90 percent of sweatshop laborers. The majority of these women are between the ages of 15 and 22. Companies that use sweatshop labor to increase their own profit margins are taking advantage of predominantly young women.
Factories that employ the use of sweatshop labor perpetuate numerous injustices. Women are paid as little as six cents an hour and work ten to twelve hour shifts. In many instances overtime is mandatory. In some cases, women are allowed only two drinks of water and one bathroom break per shift. Sexual harassment, corporal punishment, and verbal abuse are all means used by supervisors to instill fear and keep employees in line.
Companies such as Nike, Guess?, and Disney should not be allowed to continue to increase their profit margins using the sweat of hardworking women. These women deserve to be paid a living wage, to be given a safe working environment, and the right to be free of unwanted sexual harassment.

Game 17, UMBC at Vermont Game Notes
America East Notes
BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball hits the road for a tough stretch where it plays two America East games in three days, starting with a trip to Burlington, Vt., on Saturday, Jan. 18 to take on the Vermont Catamounts. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Patrick Gymnasium.
SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS (2-14, 1-3 AEC): UMBC fell in front of a program-record home crowd of 3,098 on Wednesday. The Retrievers took a season-high 60 shots and turned the ball over a season-low six times, but the Retrievers hit just 26.7 percent of its shots in the opening half and 33.3 percent for the game in a 60-47 loss to New Hampshire. UMBC pulled down a season-best 12 offensive rebounds in the contest and were led by sophomore guard Liz McNaughton's career-high nine rebounds. Sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell finished with a team-high 12 points, all of which came during the second half.
O'Donnell ranks second in the America East in blocked shots (1.5 bpg), sixth in defensive rebounds (4.6 rpg) and ninth in field goal percentage (.432). Freshman forward Sara Tarbert has slowed down as of late, but is still averaging a team-best 12.3 points and 7.2 rebounds a game. Classmate Emily Russo is the only Retriever to start all 16 games on the year and ranks in the top-10 in the league in assists (3.3 apg) and steals (1.4 spg).
Rookie guard Taylor McCarley garnered her first America East Rookie of the Week honors after leading the Retrievers in scoring last week, at 12.0 points per game and added 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals. The freshman hit 9-of-12 free throws en route to a season-high 16 points versus Maine, while chipping in a season-best six rebounds. McCarley also added a season-best four steals versus UMass Lowell. On the season, McCarley ranks second on the team in scoring (8.4 ppg) and steals (1.1 spg).
SCOUTING THE CATAMOUNTS (4-12, 1-2 AEC): Vermont has dropped seven straight contests, including a pair of America East contests. In its latest matchup, the Catamounts allowed Maine to shoot 53.6 percent from the floor and surrendered 22 points to reigning America East Co-Rookie of the Year Liz Wood en route to a 92-62 loss to the Black Bears. Freshman guard Kristina White and sophomore forward Kaylea Britton combined for 25 points off the bench in the loss.
The Catamounts are outrebounding their opponents by 4.1 rebounds per game, marking one of just three teams in the America East that are outrebounding their opponents. Despite seeing action in 12 of the team's 16 games, junior forward Kayla Burchill is shooting 49.5 percent from the floor, fourth in the conference, and 45.7 from three-point land, first in the league, to lead the team at 10.7 points per game on the season. Niki Taylor is also averaging double-digit points at 10.5 points per game. The junior forward is knocking down 90.2 percent of her free throw attempts and is chipping in 6.3 rebounds. Freshman guard Kylie Butler is pulling down a team-best 6.8 board per contest, ranking seventh in the conference.
Vermont was picked to finish fifth in the AEC preseason poll after posting a 10-21 overall record last season and tying for fourth in the league with a 6-10 conference mark. The Catamounts, who advanced to the league semifinals, topped the conference in offensive rebounds a season ago, averaging 14.6 offensive boards a contest. Head coach Lori Gear-McBride returns three starters and 10 letterwinners in her fourth season at the helm.
INSIDE THE SERIES: UMBC dropped two-of-three to Vermont last season, including a four-point loss, 47-43, in the quarterfinals of the America East Championships. UMBC was able to tie the quarterfinal contest at 43 with 36 seconds to go, but UVM's Lauren Wheeler knocked down her only trey of the game to give the sixth-seeded Catamounts the victory. The Retrievers had won four in a row against the Catamounts going in to last season, where each team won its home contest. UMBC is 3-7 all-time in Burlington, Vt.
ON THE HORIZON FOR THE RETRIEVERS: The Retrievers waste no time, playing their second game during a three-day span when they travel to take on Stony Brook on Monday, Jan. 20.

If you're entertaining for a small- to medium-sized group, a self-serve bar is the key to a stress-free party.
Tip #1 : Get out of the kitchen... I like to set the bar in a room other than the kitchen - I find that guests like to crowd into the kitchen and setting the bar in the family room helps them to circulate around the house.
Tip #2 : Help Yourself... Make sure you have all of the tools you need for guests to help themselves. I use one type of glassware for wine, beer and water. You could also include a pitcher of a pre-made holiday cocktail, if you're feeling festive.
What you'll Need (right to left) :
*Pitcher for water
*Snack : I have "Sweet & Salty Caramelized Cashews" served here in a silver bowl.
*Chilled Drinks : I use this large pewter bowl to chill a variety of seasonal beer and white wine.
*Wine & Beer Opener
*Linen Cocktail Napkins
*Red Wine
*Glasses : I like to keep them organized on a single tray to keep the bar neat and organized during the party.
*Flowers : I always like to have something "fresh" in every room. It adds special feeling to your display. These are potted paperwhites - which I love because they will last the entire holiday season.

"Things I Shouldn't Think" examines 'Obsessive Bad Thoughts' disorder
Janet Ruth Young's new novel is about Dani, a girl who, at age 17, suddenly finds unwelcome, violent thoughts interrupting her consciousness.
The thoughts are terrifying: What would the little boy she babysits look like if she stabbed him to death? What if she suddenly and profanely outed her closeted best friend? What if Dani upset the ladder her mother is using to paint the ceiling, and caused a fatal accident?
The thoughts are so real that she finds herself touching her lips to make sure she hasn't voiced them, and holding her hands to prevent herself from acting upon the thoughts. In despair, Dani confesses her thoughts to the child's mother, who promptly calls the police, setting off a chain reaction that destroys Dani's life, and the lives of those around her.
Author Young gets a little carried away in dramatizing a situation that's already larger than life. A subplot about the local newspaper publishing a story about the rumors surrounding Dani is beyond implausible; even Fox News wouldn't go there, much less a small-town paper. The novel steps into made-for-TV movie territory with that, and the story becomes less trustworthy, joining the company of too many books designed to bring attention to disabilities and disorders.
But it may comfort adolescents who are similarly visited with thoughts that scare them, and the psychiatrist who helps Dani offers a guidepost for other girls with the same disorder.
Available in paperback ($8.99) and as an ebook from Atheneum Books for Young Readers/Simon & Schuster.

Coaching turned around over a year of consistent losses when I was not even paying myself into my first profitable quarter since Q1, 2009 and I am paying myself a salary again! Get an ActionCOACH if your business is not doing as well as it could. I believe that an ActionCOACH can improve any business if an owner is willing to work on the business.
"… we have accomplished more in the last 6 months than we would have in several years without the coaching and accountability…coaching with our ActionCOACH has helped me stay focused on what I need to be doing. It is easy to be caught up in the day-to-day routine and fail to work on what is really important. The ROI in coaching with our ActionCOACH has been clearly justified.
As a result of hiring an ActionCOACH Business Coach we have… • Increased our sales revenue by over 75% • Became one of the most profitable Case franchisees in North America • Increased our take-home pay by over 50% • Cut Tracy's work hours in half This was one of the BEST business decisions we've ever made!
Business owners today need additional strategies, tools and guidance to take themselves and their businesses to the next level. Growing a business takes not only hard work but also key business strategies and systems. Most business owners have never had the chance to learn those skills. As business coaches we help Atlanta business owners close that gap by utilizing over 800 proven business strategies and systems to grow their business and improve their lives. These strategies and systems are exactly the same ones that have been employed by ActionCOACH to help nearly a million clients around the world build their business success.
Let our experienced Atlanta business and executive coaches help you grow your business, improve your profitability and let you enjoy your time today! In today's business climate, there is a critical need for each business to perform as efficiently as it possibly can. Most business owners have the excellent technical, professional or entrepreneurial skills that initially made them successful, but now find that they need to do more. However, most also seem to think that if they just work a little longer and a little harder it will get better. WRONG! Doing more of the same things will only produce more of the same results. You need to work smarter, not just harder. Working smarter also means you can actually work less and yet be even more successful.

UPDATE: A Google spokesperson reached out to us to say Google categorically denies that Larry ever said "If you don't get that, then you should probably work somewhere else."
Bad news, Googlers: if you don't like Google's new "Search Plus Your World" direction, you should leave the building.
Google's new social strategy has ruffled a few feathers. One ex-Googler told us it was a "sad day" and a "turning point" when Page carried out his plans to launch "Search Plus Your World," which would have been "unthinkable" a few years ago.
So Page told all his employees on Friday that if they didn't like it, they should leave, PandoDaily reports.
"This is the path we're headed down – a single unified, 'beautiful' product across everything," Page said, according to PandoDaily. "If you don't get that, then you should probably work somewhere else.

I just got a new laptop (HP ProBook 4520s), and I don't have my PC here, with which I used to create bootable USB's to install Ubuntu with. I only have an USB, an external hard drive, and some CDs/DVDs, at the moment. So, my question goes, how do I into Ubuntu?
I'm on Suse 11, which came preinstalled, so basically I'm asking how to create a LiveCD/bootable something on Suse.

I'm having a very annoying problem with Poco 4.8 on Windows 7 and I don't remember having this problem with any other version...
I have 7 email addresses to check and have always had them on "Timed check"... the problem is that whenever Poco checks the mail now, it STOPS everything else on the computer...
Can't click on any browser tabs, can't start a program, can't scroll, can't do anything.
Now, this might be just annoying to some (annoying but tolerable), but when I have a large (up to 100MB) attachment sent to me (and it happens frequently because that's part of what I do for a living,) everything on the computer comes to a grinding halt until that attachment is downloaded.
Anybody have any solutions, or should i just re-install a previous version??? (Before you ask, yes, I have plenty of RAM)

Nearly 15,000 people have died and 25,000 are still trapped in the earthquake that hit China's Sichuan province on Monday, official media say.
"The World's" Mary Kay Magistad reports that the Chinese government's response to the disaster is quite different from the way the government handled a massive earthquake back in 1976.
From assigning round-the-clock workers and ensuring open routes of transportation to the areas devastated by the earthquake, to asking citizens to donate money or blood, and accepting foreign donations, China's government is going all-out in its relief efforts.

Pistons Trade Rumor
Posted by detroitsportsandmore on January 10, 2011
There is plenty of press surrounding the Carmelo Anthony trade but not much talk of it's impact on Detroit. The balance of the team and the money allocation has been a problem for two seasons now. Two of it's worst seasons in the last decade. The trade as it is rumored to go down would balance the floor out some.
The addition of Troy Murphy and Johan Petro has plenty of pros and cons. The pros are the addition of two big men, one who can score, and the other has good length. Murphy is still capable of putting up 12 points and grabbing 9 boards a night with a modest defensive presence. Murphy is an expiring contract is the biggest factor. Petro is a salary dump for the Nets. He's paid bout 3 million a year for this year and next it appears. The deal is reported to save the Pistons about 17 million overall and next year it would provide upwards of 9 million of cap room to work with by my quick calculation.
One part of the deal that is still unclear, the whole thing is still a rumor at this point, is where Devin Harris should land. Denver doesn't seem thrilled to have him with Ty Lawson already there. From Detroit's perspective I don't know why Detroit couldn't be a possible landing spot. Harris is a former all-star that plays the point. Detroit could certainly use an upgrade at the point. Rodney Stuckey has shown flashes but he still looks to be a shooting guard that can slash more than a point guard.
I would love to see Detroit make a real effort to move Tayshaun Prince in this trade. His salary isn't ideal but it is close to Devin Harris, Prince makes just slightly over 2 million more per year, and Prince would have a much more significant impact on Denver's lineup. He would actually take Melo's spot on the floor and is better than anything they currently have. Detroit could bring over Quentin Ross or Stephen Graham along with Harris to even the financials out some. That would make a 1 million dollar difference in Detroit's favor for this end of the deal and if I was Denver, I'd be happy to take Prince to be my starter for 1 million dollars versus saving the 1 million and having a really good backup point guard(whether that would be Lawson or Harris).
I hope this deal happens, I like my scenario above, but I would be cautious about giving up any draft picks on this young and rebuilding team. It appears Joe Dumars isn't willing to give up picks and hopefully he can swing a pick out of it. Even a 2nd round pick can be worthwhile. Just look at Jonas Jerebko.

STERLING — Time to get your ducks in a row.
Blue Skies Therapeutic Riding Center has tickets on sale for its Larry Mayhugh Memorial Duck Run, and there are less than three weeks left to get in on the action.
Each ticket ($5 for one, or $20 for five) comes with a number attached to a duck, which will race down the Community Spillway ditch on County Road 43.5 at 10 a.m., Oct. 20.
The first duck to bob its way across the finish line wins $200, the next 10 will win gifts from local merchants and the last duck to cross wins $100. Those prize amounts have doubled since last year's race, which brought 412 ducks overall.
People who purchase tickets don't need to be present at the race to win.
All of the proceeds will go back to Blue Skies — a therapeutic horseback-riding center that serves the Sterling area by providing therapeutic rides to special needs individuals free of charge. The Duck Run is one of the biggest fundraisers of each year for the organization.
In an extra level of competitive spirit, tickets are sold to two different teams: Blue Skies Ducky and board members and the Sterling Fire Department. At the time of the race, the tickets are tallied and the winning team gets to choose what to do to the other team. It's possible to beat Blue Skies; in 2011, Dave Lieber and the Northeastern Junior College Young Farmers outsold them by 19 tickets.
The Sterling Credit Union and the Bank of Colorado sell tickets for both sides.
Duck tickets can be bought or sold until 8 p.m., Oct. 19.
For any questions about the race or tickets, contact Kris Vencel of Blue Skies at (970) 521-9965.

Taylor Swift Surprises Fans With 'Shake It Off' Videoby Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Today is a huge day for Taylor Swift fans. First she dropped her new upbeat single 'Shake It Off,' and then she revealed the music video!
'Shake It Off' — the song and the video — is so fun it's impossible not to immediately love. Taylor explained the concept with a line that we pretty much all knew already: "All I think about are metaphors and cats," she admitted, to no one's surprise. She continued by saying she came up with a metaphor for the shoot. "Life itself and who people actually are can be greatly reflected in how people dance … I don't mean how good you are, but your willingness to dance."
Taylor has always been willing to dance when most others aren't. (Awards shows, anyone?) Her new vid shows just how fearless she is with her moves! The blonde plays a variety of dancer roles, from a ballerina to a hip-hop dancer, from a cheerleader to a ribbon dancer. She conquers them all — and looks impossibly cute while doing so!
Check out all of Taylor's dance moves in 'Shake It Off' above

Let's say I'm developing a script for login.example.com. I have absolutely no access to login.example.com, but that page loads a script on assets.example.com (which I have access to). To test how well my new script works on the production login page, I changed my /etc/hosts to point assets.example.com to my localhost (and set up Apache accordingly).
The only problem now is that the login page loads https://assets.example.com/script.js (Again, I have no influence on this!). So in order for me to test my script, I need to set up a self-signed SSL cert.
I followed the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html
I also tried using the default-ssl to test it to no avail. I simply constantly get SSL connection error:
// Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. (Chrome)
Update: Since we're now at 12.04 LTS && 12.10, the tutorial should address these versions.

Amy Schumer has joined a growing list of comedians to parody Beyoncé's "Lemonade."
Schumer teamed up with Goldie Hawn for a hilarious "Formation" music video released on Tidal Friday.
The two made the video while Schumer and Hawn were filming their mother-daughter comedy, due out sometime in 2017. It also features Joan Cusack and Wanda Sykes.
"When on an island with @goldiehawn @iamwandasykes & Joan Cusack... you listen to @beyoncé and get in formation," Schumer tweeted Friday.
When on an island with @goldiehawn@iamwandasykes & Joan Cusack… you listen to @beyonce and get in formation https://t.co/N9RFuI2Tya
— Amy Schumer (@amyschumer) October 21, 2016
Hawn, who's making her long awaited return to the silver screen, said she loved playing Schumer's mother. In an Instagram video published Thursday, she wrote, "Can't begin to tell you how much I miss Hawaii and my baby @amyschumer."
After the music video was released, Hawn shared an Instagram picture of the film's largely female cast and crew. "Nobody does it better!" the actress, 70, wrote in the caption. "Go girls."
The movie was a labor of love, but luring Hawn out of retirement wasn't easy.
"I met her on an airplane a couple of years ago and told her there's a movie I really want to make with her. And she was very nice. 'OK, honey.' She probably thought I was a psycho. 'OK, crazy person,'" Schumer revealed to The Los Angeles Times in August while promoting her memoir. "Then I'd meet her at different things, saying, 'We're making this movie together,' and I think, eventually, some people got in her ear and told her I wasn't crazy, that I make things."

Evan Lysacek already has a gold medal in his trophy case – but if the oddsmakers in Las Vegas are correct, the Olympian will soon add a mirrorball trophy to his mantle.
An online wagering site, SportsBookGurus.com, has picked Evan as the favorite to win "Dancing with the Stars," following the skater's impressive debut on Monday night.
Evan's odds are listed at 1.25:1, with Pussycat Doll lead singer Nicole Scherzinger not far behind at 2.25:1 and outspoken NFL star Chad Ochocinco listed as a 3:1 contender.
On Monday's debut, it was Nicole and pro partner Derek Hough who received the highest score of the night – an impressive 25 out of 30 for their elegant Viennese Waltz.
"While most of her dance experience falls along the lines of what we like to call 'booty dancing', she took on ball room dancing like she had been doing it for years," the site noted. "This was noticed not only by the audience, but by the judges as well."
Evan and partner Anna Trebunskaya weren't far behind, with 23 out of 30, for their own Viennese Waltz.
Pamela Anderson, who wowed the crowed – and the judges – with a sexy, hair-tossing cha cha cha worth 21 points, is considered a middle of the pack underdog, with her odds listed at 12:1.
The oddsmakers apparently don't expect much out of reality mom Kate Gosselin – whose dance moves judge Bruno Tonioli compared to a "pushing around a shopping cart" – as Kate is listed as a 40:1 long shot.
"Kate Gosselin had every intention of coming into this competition with a playful attitude, but after last night's performance, she proved that this competition is way more serious that she expected," the analysis on the site said. "Talk has already begun that her time on 'Dancing with the Stars' will be short lived."
The only contestants who are considered bigger underdogs to take home the "DWTS" title are comedian Niecy Nash (45:1) and astronaut Buzz Aldrin (50:1).
The full "DWTS" odds, according to SportsBookGurus.com:
Evan Lysacek – 1.25:1
Nicole Scherzinger – 2.25:1
Chad Ochocinco — 3:1
Erin Andrews — 9:1
Jake Pavelka — 12:1
Pamela Anderson — 12:1
Aiden Turner — 18:1
Shannen Doherty — 28:1
Kate Gosselin – 40:1
Niecy Nash – 45:1
Buzz Aldrin – 50:1

Wednesday night was the roster compliance deadline for MLS teams and the Dynamo were busy making the final tweaks to its squad.
Defender Wade Barrett retired to join the coaching staff while Eric Ustruck was released.
The team also signed third round pick Sammy Appiah to fill one of the four non-senior spots on the roster, joining Tyler Deric, Francisco Navas Cobo and Danny Cruz, who is the team's only Generation Adidas player.
The move to release Ustruck created an open senior spot on the team.
"It's always hard to do something like that [releasing Ustruck]. You prefer to trade guys to keep them in the league, but sometime it doesn't come to that," said Dynamo Head Coach Dominic Kinnear. "He's been with us for a long time and he has some good friends in the locker room, but one eye looking ahead, sometimes you have to be ready."
While leaving a vacant roster spot to start the season may seem unconventional, the move provides the team with maximum flexibility as the year progresses.
"We have to look out for the team down the road," Kinnear said. "June's right around the corner and sometimes you need some money around to make sure if something comes your way you can jump on that."
That "something" may very well be a central midfielder. For now, Geoff Cameron, Lovell Palmer, Richard Mulrooney and others will be provided an opportunity to prove that they can fill the void left by Stuart Holden and Ricardo Clark.
It has been reported that the Dynamo are interested in Ghanaian central midfielder Anthony Obodai who becomes available after the Dutch Eredivisie season with RKC Waalwijk.
It will not be easy to replace Holden and probably more difficult to make up for Clark. However, the same sentiment applied last year when the club lost Dwayne De Rosario. The team had success relying on a young promising player (Holden) to fill De Rosario's role. The team is hoping that the same formula will work in the case of Cameron, who adapted successfully to playing as a defender last year.
INJURY UPDATE: The only injury to report is that Cam Weaver, who will not play against FC Dallas. Weaver's injury will be a disappointment, given he had been playing well in the preseason.
Kinnear will have to choose between Dominic Oduro and Luis Landin to partner Brian Ching up top. Oduro may be the more effective player of the two off the bench, but he has also had a very strong preseason and may have earned a starting nod.

Let $X$ be a topological space and let $|Sing(X)|$ be the geometric realization of the total singular complex of $X$.
Then $|Sing(X)|$ is a CW complex with one cell for each non-degenerate singular simplex. There's a natural map $f:|Sing(X)|\to X$ and there's a theorem that says that $f$ is a weak homotopy equivalence. That is, $f$ induces isomorphisms of homotopy groups.
Then it seems that Whitehead theorem applies and gives that $f$ is homotopy equivalence as long as $X$ is homotopy equivalent to a CW complex (i.e. $X$ is m-cofibrant). Is that correct?
Is there an example when $f$ is not homotopy equivalence? Any examples that come up in "real life"?

Tulo, Fowler report, Corpas's hamstring fine
TUCSON — An eventful and enjoyable offseason came to an end when Troy Tulowitzki reported to Hi Corbett Field today.
The Rockies' shortstop got married over the winter, held a baseball clinic with Derek Jeter, trained relentlessly, threw out the first pitch for Long Beach State and met with legendary basketball coach John Wooden.
Wooden regaled Tulowitzki with his stories last Friday in Southern California.
"Just to sit there and listen, you learn so much," Tulowitzki said. "He's a big baseball fan. He was talking about the Pirates once offered him a job. And he told them that he wasn't sure who would get fired first the guy who hired or himself because he had never worked in baseball."
Tulowitzki was memerized by all of the memorabilia in Wooden's apartment. There were congratulatory letters from presidents and basketball artifacts. Tulowitzki always wanted to meet Wooden and finally sat down this winter and wrote him. Jeff Blank, Garrett Atkins' agent, has UCLA contacts and made sure that Wooden received the letter. From there a meeting was set up.
"It was experience I will never forget," Tulowitzki said.
Fowler in camp
Dexter Fowler joins Aaron Cook and Tulowitzki as players who are leaner and lighter this spring. Fowler reported last year at 193 pounds. He's not at that mark this year, and is happy about it. "I feel like myself again. I felt too big before," Fowler said. Fowler worked out for a month in California at agent Scott Boras' headquarters. … Ryan Spilborghs arrived today. And yes, he did read the song suggestions for his batter clip. He told me that there were a few that he's considering for his teammates. He already has a new clip in mind, but is keeping it secret. He loved the fans' passion for the music. … Reliever Manuel Corpas' hamstring feels better and he's scheduled to throw his bullpen session, weather willing. He's cold — 48 degrees — and there's rain in the forecast.

With an extensive training in dance and movement and a background in fine art, Camilla's multidisciplinary practice uses the moving body and pliable sculpture materials, such as molten glass and fiber, to incite transformation. The systems that emerge in her sewn works are inspired by her biomorphic glass forms, created out of a devotion to response-ability and human plasticity; often indicating psychobiological shifts and/or shifts in consciousness. Her play with tools deliberately reintroduces the body in space in an attempt to un-do and re-do maps of experience.

Once you have a list, you are able to request more info from the schools to compare them.
FUN FACT: Many employers require prospective medical and health services managers to have some work experience in either an administrative or a clinical role in a hospital or other healthcare facility. For example, nursing home administrators usually have years of experience working as a registered nurse.
Is an Online Masters in Nursing Administration Right For Me?
Technological advances aside you might want to
consider weighing the potential advantages or potential challenges of distance-learning before you jump in. Here are a few points to bear in mind about online masters in nursing administration programs.
- Logging In: Online study requires a working and reliable computer and Internet access, so if this aspect is not in place, you may find the process frustrating
- Independence: Typically, even though there is contact, your virtual classroom will differ in that you will need to be able to work and think independently.
- Convenience: Generally you have full time access to your courses, and submit papers electronically rather than having to be at a class at a designated hour. Make sure to check this with the school, as program formats vary
- Quality: With the popularity of online study, many accredited schools make their programs accessible online.
- Coursework: The coursework in online nursing administration masters programs may be the same and equally as rigorous as for on-campus programs, and still may require students to complete a combination of coursework, practicum, and research. This practicum may be built into a currently held job. Students in online nursing administration programs may explore topics that include:
- Statistics for health professions
- Research in nursing
- Nursing issues and trends
- Budgeting and finances for health professionals
- Nursing informatics
- Nursing administration, leadership, and management
- Nursing administration (theory and practicum)
- Operations planning and control
- Leadership
- Health care technology
- Health care advocacy
In addition, many online programs in nursing administration require students to develop their business knowledge and skills through elective work in subjects such as budgeting and finance, medical business, public health, and/or public administration. Such courses often help nurses specialize in or emphasize a particular area of nursing administration, executive leadership, and/or management.
- Challenge: Online education is not congruent with easier education!
- Practicum: Students in online programs typically work closely with a professor to develop and enact a plan to work with an on-the-job supervisor in the field. This allows students to gain practical experience without having to leave their current location. Make sure to check whether there are facilities in your area sufficient to fulfill program and personal requirements of a practicum.
- Leadership: Make sure to check what types of leadership in nursing administration the program you are looking into will prepare you for. In some cases you might be able to do an MBA/MSN in Nurse Leadership that may be different from a Nurse Manager program. Make sure to match your career goals with the program you choose.
- Laboratories: Before you commit to an online program, verify whether there are appropriate and necessary training facilities and labs in your area that you will have access to, if this is needed

Detroit Won't Have to Sell Its Art
Foundations have pledged $330 million to save the Detroit Institute of Arts' collection from being sold due to the city's bankruptcy.
By John Gallagher and Mark Stryker
With the future of Detroit at stake, leaders of national and local foundations gathered on a chilly afternoon in early November in the downtown chambers of U.S. Chief District Judge Gerald Rosen.
Rosen, the federal mediator in the Detroit bankruptcy, led a wide-ranging 3 1/2 -hour dicussion, during which he floated a novel idea for a grand bargain: Could the foundations pony up hundreds of millions to bolster at-risk city pensions and prevent the Detroit Institute of Arts from having to sell its treasures?
It was a long shot at best. But on Monday it may have paid off big time.
Rosen announced nine foundations pledged $330 million that would be used to shore up pension funds so the art would not have to be sold, a crucial step toward solving the contentious issues surrounding pensions and paintings. The money represents an unprecedented coalition of foundation support for a troubled American city and a bold stroke of out-of-the-box creativity. It is a potential game changer in Detroit's struggle to restructure $18 million in municipal debt in bankruptcy court.
The foundations include some of the country's largest and most influential such as the New York-based Ford Foundation and the Kresge Foundation of Troy, as well as smaller locally based foundations like the McGregor Fund of Detroit.
It remains unclear whether the state would add money to the pot to shield the art, shore up city pensions and help achieve an overall settlement with creditors. DIA officials have proposed expanding statewide exhibitions and educational programs in exchange for state dollars that would help protect the art.
Sara Wurfel, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Snyder, said: "Gov. Snyder is heartened to hear about this mediation process making progress," adding that any significant aid from the state "would be in partnership with the Legislature."
Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, who last summer introduced a bill to protect DIA art from sale to satisfy city debt, said the mood in the legislature is not for a "bailout."
"I will certainly listen to what the request is. But if it's some sort of corporate-like bailout, I'm not excited about that," he said. "Maybe something more unique and creative that will show some benefits to the entire state. ... I would cheer that kind of effort."
Despite the immediate acclaim that greeted the foundations' pledge Monday, a myriad of challenges remain that could scuttle a deal. Leaders of the pension funds representing city workers and police and fire personnel would have to accept the terms. The $330 million still remains shy of Rosen's original goal of $500 million and is unlikely to satisfy unions trying to protect pensioner nest eggs. Other creditors are likely to scratch and claw for more money from the city, hoping paintings and other assets can be liquidated.
"There are many things that could still go wrong," said Alberto Ibargüen, president of the Miami-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. "The devil is always in the details in these things."
Still, bankruptcy experts said that if multiple parties, including pension representatives, sign on to the plan, it might create breathing room and momentum needed for Rosen and Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr to reach a global settlement. "It takes pressure off the city in its need to raise funds and address creditors' claims," said Craig Barbarosh, a bankruptcy attorney in Costa Mesa, Calif., who has followed the Detroit case.
"It gives the city additional flexibility through the liquidity of $330 million."
Orr has estimated that Detroit's two municipal pension funds may be underfunded by as much as $3.5 billion, and Orr and his team have talked for months about finding a way for the DIA's collection to be "monetized" in some way to help the city resolve its fiscal troubles. But if those two issues can be amicably resolved using foundation money, that could ease the way toward a settlement of the broader bankruptcy case.
Orr could enshrine the Rosen deal into his Plan of Adjustment, which is his recovery plan for the city that he is expected to file with the bankruptcy court within the next few weeks. That might also give Rosen's grand bargain more credibility in the eyes of the court. Rosen made clear Monday that the money would only be given if a final settlement is reached with all parties.
Value of art
Some creditors believe city-owned DIA artwork is worth "billions of dollars" and that a recent appraisal from Christie's auction house that was commissioned by the city vastly undervalued the city-owned collection.
Creditors have accused Christie's of offering a lowball figure less than $900 million to give political cover for mediator Rosen to propose transferring the DIA to an independent nonprofit organization.
A financial adviser to Financial Guaranty Insurance, which is an insurer of some of the city's major bondholders, told the Free Press on Monday that it still plans to ask U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes to approve its previous motion to establish an independent art committee to conduct an independent evaluation. The adviser said it's "not inconceivable" that a sale of DIA assets could leave Detroit completely debt free.
Christie's only evaluated the roughly 2,800 works of art at the DIA bought with city funds, most in the 1920s, assigning them a fair-market value between $454 million and $867 million. However, the DIA's entire collection numbers 66,000 works and is likely worth at least several billion dollars, perhaps more. While all the art at the DIA is city owned, Orr asked Christie's to evaluate only the 5% of the collection bought directly by the city because the rest may be encumbered with donor or other restrictions forbidding a sale or making an effort a legal nightmare.
Rhodes plans to conduct a hearing Jan. 22 to consider the motion, which was supported by bond insurer Syncora, city union AFSCME Council 25 and several European banks.
Meanwhile, DIA leaders have been adamant that any mediated solution has to not only protect its art but also leave the museum financially stable. That includes leaving a tri-county tax millage intact that funnels some $23 million a year to the museum.
Under the arrangement being discussed, the museum's artwork would be protected by spinning off the DIA into a private nonprofit, divorced from city ownership, never again facing the possibility of sale to satisfy municipal debt. "As positive and optimistic as we are right now, there is still a great deal left to be negotiated," said Annmarie Erickson, chief operating officer of the DIA.
Fresh ideas
The Knight Foundation's Ibargüen, who attended the November briefing, said the suggestion that foundations contribute was a novel idea that gradually took hold. "You're looking for fresh money, and you're looking for unconventional ideas, and this was one of the ideas that was floated as a possibility," he said.
Foundations typically don't bail out municipal pension funds or endangered art museums. But in this case they quickly coalesced around the same notion -- a special fund to bail out city pensions and save the DIA artwork was justified as part of the foundations' overall commitment to helping Detroit.
"The more we thought about it, the more we talked about it, the more it made sense that if this is something that is going to help Detroit get out of bankruptcy faster, then it was something for the general good of the city," Ibargüen said.
More support?
Rosen, in his written statement Monday, called the foundations' commitment "an extraordinary and unprecedented effort." He said more foundation support was expected to be announced in the future.
A foundation leadership committee has been established to handle the details. The group includes heads of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, the Kresge Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Knight Foundation. The five others making pledges are the William Davidson Foundation, Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation, Hudson-Webber Foundation, McGregor Fund and Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
Mariam Noland, president of the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, said that money was conditioned on a mediated settlement to other conflicts in the bankruptcy. "It is one piece of a very complex transaction," she said.
Tina Bassett, a spokeswoman for the city's General Retirement System that represents non-uniformed city retirees, sounded an optimistic note. She said in a statement that the fund leaders "appreciate and support all efforts to protect the pensions for the people who have dedicated their lives working for the City of Detroit. We are grateful for the commitment and care demonstrated by so many, working so diligently to find solutions to this challenging situation."

Second in the series. Deals heavily with the concept of Sacrifice and what really makes a hero. What would you be willing to give up in order to stop evil? Darker than the first book, there is still moments of humor mixed in. A real treat. Not a difficult read, but very enjoyable.
"Legend has it, in the mystic land of Prydain, there was once king so cruel and so evil that even the gods feared him. He was thrown alive into a crucible of molten iron." And so the Black Cauldron was created. The enchanter Dallben calls a meeting at his cottage/farm, Caer Dallben. Among those in attendance are Adaon, son of the chief bard, Ellidyr the pauper prince, Fflewddur Fflam the bard and the main protagonist, Taran the 'Assistant Pig-keeper'. The war against the arch-villain, Arawn, is not going well. With every one of his soldiers that they kill, he makes a new one with the Black Cauldron. They conclude that if they want to win the war, they must destroy the Cauldron. The Black Cauldron is a magical object that is, like the one ring, dark and mysterious. The cauldron is dark black with dried blood on the rim. The wind passing across the cauldron's mouth sounds like the moans of all its victims. It seems to have a mind of its own, and it can make itself lighter and heavier. Arawn robs graves and places the corpses in the cauldron. They are transformed into soulless monsters that cannot be killed. This book is famous for being dark. But when I read it, I rather liked the dark and saddening elements because I felt they helped the book creates emotions in me, even if those emotions were negative. While Lloyd Alexander copied Lord of the Rings a bit in this book, it is still a respectable novel. The Chronicles of Prydain are classics, and every fan of the fantasy genre should read them. The Black Cauldron is a quick and easy read; I finished it in one day. I would not, however, recommend it for small children as it is a little frightening.
The first book in the Prydain series, _The Book of Three_, was great. _The Black Cauldron_ is a great story as well- very exciting and fast paced. Some of the lines can get a bit corny, though. My main issue with this series is that Eilonwy seems to get chastised by everybody a little too much for my liking. I still recommend this book for fantasy lovers (particularly children's fantasy).
All legendary warriors in Prydain are called to aid Prince Gwydion to destroy the Black Cauldron. The story flows so well, even though there is a cliff-hanger at the end of every chapter. Impossible to put down this book. Lloyd Alexander is so descriptive of what the characters are thinking. All in all, this is a must read book and an all-time favorites of mine and now my son.
