Compete at William and Mary on Saturday
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After a successful indoor season that culminated with a seventh-place finish at the indoor ECAC Championships two weeks ago, the Bulldogs look primed for the outdoor season. Their first meet is the Tribe Invitational this Saturday, hosted by William and Mary.
The distance events could be one of the Bulldogs' strengths this outdoor season. Junior Kate Grace is the defending champion in the 800-meter run at outdoor Heptagonals. She has continued to perform well during indoor season, having ran an NCAA Division I provisional time, winning indoor Heptagonals for the second year in a row and placing second at ECACs. Senior Alex Cadicamo also looks ready to run a strong outdoor season after a huge PR and a third-place finish in the 3,000-meter run at ECACs. Senior Stephanie Pearl and sophomore Jennifer Downing may also contribute in the longer distances. Junior Liya Assefa, who ran on the distance medley relay team that qualified for ECACs, sophomore Anne Lovelace, who competed in the mile at Heptagonals, and freshman Caitlin Hudson should also continue to provide support for the distance relays.
In the sprints, junior Claudia Duncan posted her fastest time in the 400-meter dash at ECACs and currently holds the record for Yale indoor. Freshman Annelies Gamble, who has consistently ran well on the distance medley relay and the 4x800-meter relay this past indoor season, also looks strong in both the middle sprints and distances. In the shorter sprints, the Bulldogs will look to sophomore Marieme Mbaye, freshman Adele Jackson-Gibson and sophomore Alexa Monti. Mbaye specializes in the 200-meter dash, while Jackson-Gibson had the seventh-fastest time in the 60-meter dash in the Ivy League heading into Heptagonals. Freshmen Jenna Poggi and Dakota McCoy will compete in the hurdles. The Bulldogs also have senior captain Faith Briggs, senior Stephany Reaves and freshman Allison Rue when fielding sprint relay teams.
In the field events, junior Emily Standish has jumped as high 5' 5'' in the high jump in indoor. Junior Eve King, who placed fifth in the pentathlon at Heptagonals, can play a key role in multiple field events. In the jumps, Jackson-Gibson brings in a high school PR of 18'10 in the long jump and placed 10th at Heptagonals in the event, while senior Bailey Carroll and Poggi should continue to improve in the pole vault. The Bulldogs will look to junior Rachel Kuschner and freshman Antonia Renker in the throws; both competed in the weight throw at Heptagonals.
The women's competition will start with the long jump at 11 a.m. and conclude with 4x400-meter relay at 5:20 p.m. A complete schedule can be found here. Results will be posted on TribeAthletics.com and Yalebulldogs.com after the meet.

Political Status Referendum Approved in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rican governor Luis Fortuño approved Wednesday a two-part referendum to help determine the island's political status, as supporters of remaining a U.S. commonwealth criticized the decision to hold both votes on the same day as an unfair move.
The first part of the referendum will ask voters if they want a change in status or prefer to remain a U.S. commonwealth. The second part will ask that voters choose from three options: statehood, independence or sovereign free association.
The original proposal was to hold the first part of the referendum in August 2012 and then, only if the majority sought a change in status, hold the second part during the November 2012 general elections.
But under the new proposal, the both parts will be held on Nov. 6, said Fortuño, who leads the pro-statehood New Progressive Party.
Regardless of what voters decide, any change requires approval by the U.S. Congress and the president.
Sen. Eduardo Bhatia said holding both parts of the referendum on the same day makes no sense because it assumes that the pro-status quo option doesn't win and the second round will be necessary.
"This law is proof that the leadership of the pro-statehood movement turns to trickery, deceit and the technique of confusion as political weapons," said Bhatia of the Popular Democratic Party, which supports the current commonwealth status. "What opportunity do voters have to seriously reflect between one vote and the other? None."
The questions will be on the same ballot, and critics fear that being forced to choose from the three options could influence how people vote in the first part.
Kenneth McClintock, secretary of state for Puerto Rico, denied accusations that pro-status quo supporters would be ignored, saying that people were free to leave the second part of the ballot blank. He said Bhatia's party had previously agreed to holding the referendum in one day.
McClintock said the U.S. Congress would interpret the results if the majority chose something other than maintaining the status quo.
Fortuño also discarded criticism of the referendum.
"All processes aimed at resolving Puerto Rico's political future assumes that the current situation no longer has majority support," he said.
Fortuño spokeswoman Ana del Valle said his administration chose to hold the two-part referendum on the same day to get a sense of what people prefer for the island's political future.
The referendum received praise from Luis Delgado, leader of a group that is pushing for Puerto Rico to have a sovereign free association with the U.S. But Delgado urged Fortuño to demand that the U.S. outline terms and conditions for each of the choices before the referendum is held.
Puerto Rico has long debated its political status, with no majority for any particular status emerging in referendums held in 1967, 1993 and 1998.
Rafael Cox Alomar, a PDP member who is seeking the island's nonvoting Congressional seat, dismissed the referendum as expensive and unnecessary.
"This referendum does not work and does not involve nor compromise in any way the U.S. Congress," he said. "In a moment of economic crisis... the cost of this referendum is an insult to the people who reject it."
Alejandro García Padilla, who is running against Fortuño, said the Popular Democratic Party would soon issue its official stance on the referendum.
Critics also noted that if Fortuño's party loses the election, millions of dollars spent on the referendum will have gone to waste.

Going public is commonly thought of as the endgame for most companies.
But many of the world's biggest and most influential businesses have gone through great lengths and endured great criticism to go the opposite rout – to stay private.
It's a tactic that has certainly been successful for many, with several private U.S. companies raking in hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue without the regulatory and investor scrutiny associated with being a public company.
Private companies are more common than you might think. Non-public companies make up roughly 95 percent of the U.S. economy, according to some private market analysts.
One of the most talked-about private companies is Facebook, run by wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg. But as far as private companies stack up, the social networking site's $1.8 billion revenue in 2010, and its reportedly $4 billion in revenue for 2011, are small change. Groupon, another infamous private company before it's recent initial public offering, is a similar story. Its annual revenues for 2010 were $320 million — a drop in the bucket compared to larger private players.
So who are the biggest private powerhouses? Private market analysts at PrivCo have assembled a ranking of the country's most lucrative private companies — ranked according to estimates of 2010 revenue. The list is being presented for the first time on CNBC.com.

Ernest G. Heppner
Born: August 4, 1921
Breslau, Germany
Ernest was one of three children born to a Jewish family in the commercial city of Breslau, which had one of the largest Jewish communities in Germany. His father, a World War I veteran, owned a factory that made matzah, the unleavened bread used during the Jewish holiday of Passover. Ernest was 12 when Hitler took power in 1933.
1933-39: I often got in trouble at school because people called me names. "Christ-killer" and "your father kills Christian babies for Passover" were common taunts. Many thought the Nazis were a passing political fad but by 1935 their laws were menacing. Signs appeared declaring, "Jews are forbidden." In 1938, after our synagogue was burned (during Kristallnacht), we realized we had to flee Germany. Since my family could only get two tickets, Mother and I boarded a ship for Asia, leaving our family behind.
1940-44: I ended up in Japanese-controlled Shanghai, the only place refugees could land without a visa. There, as a volunteer driving a truck for the British army's Shanghai Volunteer Force, I got meals and was better off than many other refugees. After Pearl Harbor, in December 1941, conditions among the city's refugees worsened--American relief funds, the refugees' lifeline, could not reach Shanghai. In 1943, under pressure from Germany, the Japanese set up a ghetto.
Ernest spent two years in the Shanghai ghetto before the city was liberated in 1945. After the war, he worked for the U.S. Air Force in Nanking, China, for several years, and later immigrated to the United States.

Instructional Materials Accessibility
Instructional materials and online course materials must be accessible to persons with disabilities in order to provide them with effective communication. Communication should be, to the extent possible, as effective for persons with disabilities as it is for persons without disabilities. An essential component of effective communication is timeliness of delivery of accessible formats. To the extent possible, instructional materials, including online course materials, must be accessible to students with disabilities at the same time it is available to any other student enrolled in that program.
Instructional Materials Accessibility Plan
By June 2007, following consultation with local faculty senates as appropriate, each campus should create a plan to support faculty and staff practices that will ensure timely access to instructional materials. This plan should include, but is not limited to, the following elements:
1. A process for timely adoption of textbooks by faculty.
2. A process for identification of textbooks for late-hire faculty.
3. A process for early identification of students with disabilities who require instructional materials to be provided in an alternate format.
4. A strategy to increase faculty use of the campus learning management system (LMS) for delivering technology-enabled courses, and for posting syllabi and instructional materials online for traditional face-to-face and hybrid or blended courses.
5. A process to incorporate accessibility requirements in the purchase of digital or multimedia instructional materials (captions on videos, for example).
6. A method to incorporate accessibility as a required component in the curriculum review and approval processes.
7. A plan to support faculty in the creation of accessible course content.
8. A communication process and training plan to educate students, staff, and faculty about the campus Instructional Materials Accessibility Plan.
9. An evaluation process to measure the effectiveness of the plan.
10. The identification of roles and responsibilities associated with the above processes.
11. Milestones and timelines that conform to the project calendar.

Hygiene is missing from an important United Nations document on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that will be submitted to the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly.
Several organisations including End Water Poverty, WaterAid, Practical Action and Helvetas have written to the Open Working Group on SDGs saying they regret that hygiene was left out of the Group's Focus areas document.
The Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing (PPPHW) is calling on its supporters to advocate for the inclusion of hygiene alongside water and sanitation in the SDGs in the Open Working Group consultations before the closing date of 14 March 2014. Similarly, the PPPHW is requesting support for hygiene in the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) consultation, which also ends on 14 March.
The PPPHW offers talking points to advocate for hygiene in the SDGs, such as:
The word "hygiene" means different things to different people. In the post-2015 WASH proposal, hygiene focuses on handwashing promotion, including access to a designated place for handwashing with soap and water, and menstrual hygiene management or the presence of gender-segregated sanitation facilities in schools and health centers with access to soap and water and a place for safe disposal of menstrual hygiene materials

eS Game of SKATE at SPoT 2005
Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 by Rob
eS Game of Skate at SPoT 2005Words and Photos by Rob Meronek
I'm in a total rush to get out of here since we're leaving for Puerto Rico tomorrow morning and it's almost 11pm and I'm the last one at the Park, but here's a few quick notes from today.
In the early stages of the game, the entire crowd moved from one side of the Park to the other when the match up between Robbie Kirkland and Devon Lynch was announced. Robbie won the coin toss and started with a kickflip and then a nollie flip. Devon bailed the nollie flip and was given his first letter. Devon gave Robbie an "S" with a nollie inward heel. They were both making hard tricks like fakie 360 flips but Robbie eventually took out Devon to end up in 4th Place at the end. It seems like relatively easy tricks took people out. Robbie bailed a nollie 360 when he was in the Finals, which is super easy to just kind of sketch out and ride away with minimal pop. There were five people in the Finals skating against each other. The results were like this:
1st – Malcom Seaman
2nd – PJ Castellano
3rd – Connor Kammerer
4th – Robbie Kirkland
5th – Parker Landers
Here are some more random notes from the Contest:
Dustin Eggling made it to the next rounds but was nowhere to be found when his match started, so he was out by forfeit.
SPoT employee Ryan Dodge was doing switch 360 flips and switch hard flips, but that wasn't enough to take out PJ Castellano that he was up against.
This one kid from London whose first name I can't remember (his last name is Clark) was looking like he was going to go pretty far, but he got taken out with a nollie double flip in a match up with Connor Kammerer, who went on to 3rd Place.

1. Yahoo US:YHOO
Wall Street analysts expect the Internet firm to report earnings of 27 cents a share on sales of $1.21 billion on Monday, according to a FactSet survey. The update comes as Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer marks six months on the job. In an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mayer told Bloomberg TV that Yahoo ranks as a "great company overall that has a very fun culture." While Yahoo lacks mobile hardware, a mobile operating system, a browser and a social network of its own, its independence in these businesses it allows the company "to build strong partnerships," she said.

One of the questions we have been getting a lot is, do you have renovation loans? And, what is a renovation loan?
A renovation loan is a loan that will enable you to acquire the property, and fund the renovation of the home.
This type of loan is kind of like a construction loan but instead of buying a lot a building a house, you're buying an existing home and you're doing a renovation. You can actually do a pretty massive renovation.
Now, the loan limits on these loans are going to be dictated by the county in which you live. For example, if you're in San Francisco, you're going to be able to get a loan amount all the way up to $679,650. If you are in Utah County, Utah, then that loan limit is going to $453,100. Please visit http://www.loanlimits.org/conforming/ to see your county limits. Therefore, based on where you are in the country, your loan limits will vary.
Other great things about the renovation loan is you can do as little as 5% down. On construction loans, generally you need much more down. Some things to look for; you really need to vet your contractor and you really need to have an understanding of what your budget is before you make an offer and decide you need a renovation loan.
We suggest that you reach out to us in advance. We can educate you and answer your specific questions. We are here; we would love to hear from you. Feel free to call us or fill out the client questionnaire below!

Today was a landmark day – I actually ventured out of the house! I met up with my good friend Becca for brunch. It was the change of pace that I needed the most. Since we last spoke, I developed even more swelling, and a yellow bruise on my right cheek from the surgery. That was enough to keep me indoors, even though the pain was almost completely gone. More knitting, more reading, more television watching. These last days of 2006 will be hard to differentiate, as I have done the same thing every day since Wednesday: wake up late, read for a few hours, take the dogs on a walk, eat yogurt and applesauce, and then plop down to watch TV and knit the night away.
Of course, this daily regimen may not be the best for exercise, but I did make some real progress on Kris's Lopi sweater!
This was right before I started the sleeves, which are both done now!
I am working on the front, and am nearing the armhole decreases. The magic of size 11 needles! The Lopi is working up nicely, and it is not as scratchy as I remember from the last time I worked with it. The charcoal gray is a perfect color to match Kris's wardrobe. He has even mentioned wearing it several times, which is a total surprise. I plan to finish the knitting up soon, and give the pieces a bath to soften them up even more, and a good blocking. If I am lucky, I can finish this sweater for our anniversary next Friday…
In terms of planning, I have looked through my knitting library and have been evaluating what knits I want to make next. I am going back and forth trying to decide if I want to churn out some more sweaters. It is always a push-pull, as I think about how I want to lose more weight; this will undoubtedly change my measurements for proper-fitting garments. Of course, I could stick to accessories and socks for awhile, as those are knits that will always fit. I am leaning towards more accessories, although the pull of the sweaters are strong – I have a lot of yarn stashed for some lovely projects! The way I may solve this (small) dilemma is by knitting sweaters for Kris, and knitting shawls, hats, and accessories for me. Sounds reasonable, right?
|Spectacled made a handsome version of Jamesey. I remember liking this pattern when it came out, so it was great to see it again. I showed it to Kris, he nodded approval. He always says "as long as I can wear it to work", or "as long as it's not too hot"… This sweater is very work-appropriate, and is also made with cotton, so check and check! I found a great yarn: a nice sagey-green mercerized cotton from Elann. Should be a perfect match.
These sweaters, along with the Plain Winter socks I am knitting up are all perfect contributions to Jeanne and Robin's Manly Gift Knitalong. Knitting for a man/boy in your life? Check it out
And just as a reminder: There is still time to purchase Shobhana's Bejeweled scarf pattern for F.I.R.E. Any scarf patterns proceeds purchased through today go to help the Dulaan Project items get to the children of Mongolia. Go and buy your pattern, and then come and join our little knitalong! The Bejeweled Knitalong starts tomorrow!
Here's a peek at what yarn I will be using…
*Happy New Year*

Many liberals who are smart enough to support free trade are slowly beginning to realize just how protectionist the Democratic Party has become. Fareed Zakaria reports that one argument he often hears from supporters of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, is "that they don't really mean what they say, that their actual proposals on trade agreements involve only minor tinkering." Similarly the Washington Post editorializes: "In other words, we have to hope that they were only pandering."
The problem is that the Democrats already have control of Congress and, despite liberal free trader hopes to the contrary, they have already irreparably harmed American leadership on free trade. On April 10, 2008 Speaker Nancy Pelosi changed a key House rule that effectively gutted over thirty years of established U.S. trade policy. Heritage scholars Ambassador Terry Miller and Daniella Markheim explain:
President Bush, concerned that Congress would adjourn this year without acting on the [Colombia Free Trade] agreement, formally sent the pact to the lawmakers April 8. This, in turn, started a 90-day clock for an up-or-down vote. The next day, Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives would void that timetable, likely delaying a vote on the Colombia deal until after the presidential election in November. The California Democrat vowed to set aside the "fast track" guarantee of the Trade Promotion Authority, under which the U.S.-Colombia agreement was concluded. Regrettably, the House on April 10 agreed 224-195, mostly along party lines.
Miller and Markheim also assess the fall out from the unprecedented and shortsighted political tactic:
[C]hanging the rules in the middle of the game strikes at the integrity of the process, which includes elaborate international negotiations and much hard bargaining with foreign governments. If this maneuver stands, U.S. trade negotiators will have a far harder time persuading counterparts in other nations that they can deliver congressional approval of negotiated terms — even if Congress awards a future president renewed fast-track authority. Americans should expect far less favorable trade deals, as foreign negotiators lose faith that the United States will uphold our end and thus make fewer concessions of their own.
Heritage scholar Anthony Kim explains why Pelosi's move is such a huge victory for China at the expense of U.S. soft power through out the world:
More important, the world has been carefully watching developments surrounding the Colombia FTA and House Speaker Pelosi's shortsighted actions. Given that the current World Trade Organization negotiations have stalled, European trading partners and developing nations are vigilantly monitoring our trade policy to gauge America's true commitment to free trade. Particularly in Asia, South Korea has been anxiously watching the progress of the Colombia deal as a reliable indication of the probable fate of the U.S.–Korea free trade agreement. China, which just signed a free trade pact with New Zealand and looks for more trade deals, is surely monitoring current developments with amusement.

With Williams, Middlebury, Tufts,
Junior Mark Liao also enjoyed a great afternoon in the water, breaking the school record with a first-place finish in the 1000 free. Liao touched the wall in 9:53.41, edging Jim Bandy's mark of 9:53.96 in 1990. He came back later in the day and crushed the field in the 500 free, winning with a season-best clip of 4:44.51.
Other event winners for MIT's men's unit included: JP Carlucci in the 200 breast (2:12.85), Matthieu Fuzellier in the 100 back (53.77) and Kalvin Kao in the 200 fly (2:02.65). Freshman Julianna Edwards continued her strong rookie season with an impressive victory in the 200 back, posting a mark of 2:12.33 for a three-second victory.

Lisle, Illinois ~ Benedictine University will host Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the first female lieutenant governor of Maryland, who will give a public lecture and lead a series of workshops with students and faculty members as part of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program.
Kennedy Townsend will present "Get in the Bullring: How You Can Make a Difference" at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29 in Scholl Hall, Room 101. The lecture, which is sponsored by Benedictine's Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, is free and open to the public.
Kennedy Townsend has a long history of accomplishment in the public arena and has made her mark in the private sector during the past six years. After two years at the financial services firm Lehman Brothers, she is now a senior advisor at a hedge fund run by the former treasurer of the World Bank.
In the public sector, Kennedy Townsend served in a variety of roles and worked on important public safety, higher education and public service issues. As Maryland's lieutenant governor, Townsend had direct command over a variety of major cabinet departments including Economic Development and Transportation, State Police, Public Safety and Correction and Juvenile Justice. As deputy assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice, she worked diligently on the Police Corps, a program granting higher education scholarships to those who pledged to work as police officers.
Prior to serving at the Department of Justice, Kennedy Townsend spent seven years as the founder and director of the Maryland Student Service Alliance. There she led the fight to make Maryland the first – and still only – state to make public service a graduation requirement. In 1982, she managed the successful re-election campaign of her uncle – the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Kennedy Townsend taught foreign policy at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and has been a visiting fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. She has served as a special advisor to the U.S. Department of State, as a Paul Nitze senior fellow at St. Mary's College and as a Woodrow Wilson fellow.
An honors graduate of Harvard University, she earned a law degree from the University of New Mexico, where she was a member of the law review.
Kennedy Townsend is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Inter-American Dialogue, and serves on the boards of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
She is the author of "Failing America's Faithful: How Today's Churches Mixed God with Politics and Lost Their Way," and has appeared on "Meet the Press," "The Colbert Report," "Larry King," and "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren."
Kennedy Townsend is the eldest child of Robert and Ethel Kennedy.
The Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program, which is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) in Washington, D.C., brings prominent artists, diplomats, journalists, business leaders and other professionals to campuses across the United States for a weeklong residential program of classes, seminars, workshops, lectures and informal discussions.
For more information about the lecture or the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program, contact (630) 829-6247 or email@example.com.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 55 undergraduate majors and 17 graduate and four doctoral programs. Benedictine University is ranked No. 1 among the country's fastest-growing campuses between 2000-2010 in The Chronicle of Higher Education's list of private nonprofit research institutions, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the third consecutive year in 2013. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fifth largest in the Chicago area in 2013.

text: This Movie Is About Farmers, Not for Farmers February 27, 2014 11:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email Coming to a theater near you, 'Farmland' looks to win back consumer confidence in agriculture one person at a time. There are 80 million millenials in America, many of whom are two, three or more generations off the farm. They largely don't understand how food is produced in this country, but they care deeply about it. In this digital age, they are especially prone to misinformation. How can the agriculture industry showcase what "real farming" actually looks like? Enter "Farmland: The Movie," a 75-minute documentary that is about farmers, but not for farmers. Randy Krotz explains. "As important as farmers are, the agriculture audience will certainly get the ball rolling, but they're not the target audience," he says. Krotz, the CEO of U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance, was on-hand to promote the movie to audiences at the Bayer CropScience Ag Issues Forum (AIF) and the 2014 Commodity Classic, both held in San Antonio. "Farmland: The Movie" follows six farmers, all in their 20s, through their day-to-day struggles and successes. The farmers hail from all parts of the country, and grow a variety of crops and livestock under diverse production practices. Because consumers trust farmers most out of anybody in the food production chain, they were a natural fit to follow, agree Krotz and Frank Sesno, director of George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs, who moderated AIF. "Where is the agriculture story going?" Sesno asked Krotz. "How do you take an issue and turn it into a story? How do you make it compelling?" "The challenge in storytelling is how can you connect with the head but grab the heart?" came Krotz' answer. Can the film deliver on that promise? Watch the trailer and decide for yourself: "Farmland: The Movie" was directed by Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker James Moll. Its theatrical run is expected to play in 25 markets later this year. A shorter, 44-minute version developed for schools is planned after that. For more information, visit http://www.farmlandfilm.com/. Back to news

Tearing It Up In The DunesPosted in Features on February 1, 2013
It's not every day that you spot a race truck out in the dirt, unless of course you're down in Baja. Lucky for us, Jeff Angeleri was in the dunes for a chance spotting while out shooting one day. After chasing him through the dunes for a few minutes, we were able to catch up with him and check out his awesome '94 Ford F-250 1450 race truck. Jeff built this truck to compete in the MDR 1450 class series, but he ended up on crutches about a year into the build after breaking his hip during a local motocross race. Not one to give up, Jeff continued building his race truck at home outside in the dirt, despite having to use crutches, and even painted it himself in his own backyard.
This truck originally started life as a diesel F-250 longbed truck but has since morphed into one heck of a cool truck. Jeff has held the longest-jump record for Pismo Huckfest at 125 feet since the inaugural competition. He also used to race the truck competitively in the old MDR 1450 class. He raced his way to a podium finish of third place at the 2009 MDR Stoddard 250, but the truck hasn't seen contingency or a racecourse since. Instead, the old 1450 Ford has turned into a play toy for Jeff. And we think that's almost a better life for a truck. While there is glory to be had in racing, it takes quite a toll on the vehicle. A simple life of play will keep this Ford healthy and available for years of more exploration off the beaten path.

GX, the essential Painting tool for professionals
A new milestone development in Airless Paint equipment
After three years of intensive market research, a new generation of Airless paint sprayers will rock professional painters' world! Graco is very proud to introduce the GX 21 and GX FF units, based upon a new design ProX Power-Piston Pump platform.
Graco's GX line makes it possible for all professionals to experience the benefits of Airless spraying. Airless painters already know they can finish more jobs quicker with a better finish, but the GX line allows transferring these benefits into even more jobs – not only big exterior jobs, but small interior renovation jobs as well.
ProXChange Pump Replacement System
For the Professional Painter it is crucial to get his job finished on time. With the ProXChange system it is possible to avoid downtime by keeping a spare replacement pump to hand. Moreover, the Professional Painter can exchange a leaking job at the jobsite by himself.
The tools needed to exchange the repack kit are built into the frame. In order to optimize continuity of working, the packings are self-lubricating and the repack kit has a push prime to unlock a sticky inlet ball in case of occasional cavitation.
Pro Features for Pro Decorative Painters
The GX range exists of 2 models:
GX 21 (21 tip support, 1,8 L, 15 M hose) direct immersed to suck paint directly out of wall paint buckets, optimized to paint walls and ceilings.
GX FF (19 tip, 1,5 liter, 7,5 M hose) equipped with a hopper to spray fine finish jobs and small color changes. The reduced 'wet section' already allows spraying 1 liter of paint.
Easy to set up, use and clean
Both units are fully solvent resistant and incorporate features that are validated by the market throughout the last twenty years:
- Pro performance at the gun
- Complete and ready to spray with gun, tip, filter and hose
- Oil filled pressure gauge
- Rigid, chromate steel frames and Graco blue painted shroud
- Blue V-max packing, self-lubricating packing stack
- Rigid prime valve
- Steel pump housing, rod and balls
In combination with the Jetroller, the GX sprayer offers a higher efficiency, a better finish and more working comfort.

Lipscomb Bisons soccer coach Charles Morrow repeats the word a couple of times.
"Expectations are high," Morrow said. "But there are other teams in the Atlantic Sun Conference that have high expectations too.
"I think the league is growing in men's soccer. I think the teams are getting better and better just as we have over the last four or five years."
The Bisons start off the season with two strong opponents as they travel to Dallas, Texas to face host Southern Methodist Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and top 10-ranked Tulsa Monday at noon in the Southern Methodist Invitational.
"We really don't know what to expect," Morrow said. "SMU has been a perennial power, but had an off year last year. They will be very, very good. I have seen Tulsa ranked as high as fourth and as low as seventh.
"We are using these games for the experience. We are going there to compete and to win."
Morrow knows this season that his players are focusing on winning the A-Sun Tournament and making an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
"Until we do that our players will be disappointed," Morrow said. "We have a lot of seniors on this team who came here with the NCAA Tournament as their goal. They are determined to make that happen in their last year."
Wins and losses are the way seasons are measured, but Morrow also has some expectations which go beyond the numbers.
"My expectations have to do more with attitude, effort and consistency," Morrow said. "If those things are taken care of then the wins and losses, and how far we advance this season, will sort themselves out.
"Attitude and effort at times were struggles for us last season. Taking care of ourselves off the field was a struggle. These guys are more determined this year not to let that happen."
The Bisons should be able to put points on the board. But Morrow admits he did not see the offensive production he was expecting in preseason games at Louisville, Trevecca and Georgia State.
"On paper we do look explosive," Morrow said. "But we have yet to catch fire offensively.
"The potential is there. The talent is there. We look better defensively now than we do offensively. That is sort of a product of where we are at in the season. It takes more time to click in the attacking third. I think it will come around for sure."
The offensive core consists of forwards Miguel DaSilva and Garret Pettis, and midfielders Angel Chairez and Garrett McLaughlin. Both DaSilva and McLaughlin are preseason All-A-Sun selections.
"They are certainly guys who have experience and are good players for us," Morrow said. "They bring a level of consistency that you don't find a lot."
Junior Brent McGee and freshman Isaac Pile are the goalkeepers this season. But Pile is also penciled in as a starting center back.
"When we watched Isaac we knew he was very athletic and good with his feet," Morrow said. "Later in the recruiting process we saw him playing with his club team Solar in an Academy event against the best teams in the country. We saw him play goalkeeper, forward and center back.
"He is pretty versatile which you don't see a lot with goaltenders. We didn't really think playing him in the field would be an option, but we had somebody back out on us late for this recruiting class. We moved Garrett McLaughlin to the midfield and have Isaac as a center back."
Morrow admits that having a player splitting the goaltender's role with another position offers some challenges in practice.
"It creates some issues as far as training," Morrow said. "He has to get work as a goaltender and then he has to do the work as a field player. It is not an ideal situation, but so far he has been able to handle it."
McGee is the starter this weekend, but Pile will be waiting in the wings.
Joining Pile on defense are center back Kevin Barbar. Senior Chase Nieri is the left back and junior Ethan Summers is on the right.
"That is how we are starting this weekend," Morrow said. "Time will tell if it stays that way for the season."
Morrow would prefer having experience across the line, but he doesn't have a problem playing two freshmen on the top defensive unit.
"It's not a risky thing," Morrow said. "It is always good to have experience back there.
"But both of these guys (Barbar and Pile) have played in the Academy system. They have experience at a high level. And they are true center backs. We haven't had true center backs in the past few years."
Both Barbar and Pile have skills that overcome any issues about their inexperience.
"We have had guys who were capable in the past who did a fine job," Morrow said. "They both read the game well. And they both communicate well. They will get better.
"For the center back position communication is probably the biggest thing we have missed in past years. From that position you can see the whole field. If you communicate well you can cut down the work you have to do quite a bit."
Barbar and Pile both show a reluctance to allow the other team to get an offensive advantage.
"They both have a good pace," Morrow said. "We have not left anyone get behind us yet.
"Last year, and even to a certain degree the year before, that was a big concern. We would have a sustained possession in the attacking third and then the other team would counter and we would lose the game on a counter attack goal."
Morrow plans to start McLaughlin, Chairez, junior Andrew Chamberlain and freshman Nick Bibb.
"Nick is a good all-around player," Morrow said. "He brings a different element. Not only can he play the wide role, but he can also do some other things that make him more versatile."
Another freshman who might challenge for playing time is Josh Kolbo.
"Josh is skillful and can run all day," Morrow said. "He has done a fairly good job this season."
McLaughlin has been a mainstay of the team. Morrow wants him to play a simple game.
"When Garrett plays his best for us is when he simplifies his game," Morrow said. "When he tries to do too much, and when he tries to create too much, we run into problems.
"Garrett needs to be a big ball winner. He is a great distributor. He just needs to do it quickly and not try to do too much."
Pettis , DaSilva and Evan McGee are filling the forward roles. Freshman Juan Pacheco can add a spark offensively as well.
"Pettis is healthy and that is good," Morrow said. "He is getting better every day because he is playing and he is healthy. He just needs to knock the rust off and polish some stuff up."
Morrow would also like to see DaSilva simplify his game as well.
"What he does well is pressure defenses," Morrow said. "He runs at defenders on the way to the goal. When he starts moving diagonally or across the field he is not as dangerous.
"When he works hard defensively he creates things for himself and for other players. The key for Miguel is to concentrate on the things he does well and not try to do too much. He does bring a lot and sometimes he gets the mindset that he has to do everything."

by Garofani Spruzzo » Sat Aug 29, 2009 9:56 pmHere's an interview with Hickman from Marvel.com:
[spoiler]For writer Jonathan Hickman, family comes first. So when the Write Stuff penman takes over creative duties on Marvel's First Family with this week's FANTASTIC FOUR #570, expect things to get personal.
FANTASTIC FOUR #570 cover by Alan Davis
"Everything else I've done has been a cool story or just plot-driven, but just because of where I'm at family-wise, I really, really identify with [FANTASTIC FOUR]," admits Hickman. "It pretty much starts and ends there. I've got lots of cool plans and we've got some very cool stories coming up. But as far how Sue and Reed and Johnny and Ben and Val and Franklin interact, a lot of that stuff is being drawn on from life experiences."
Hickman's ability to dissect character and delve into their inner workings makes him the psychological equivalent of Mister Fantastic himself, so it wasn't much of a stretch for the scientific scribe to join the FF creative team. Along with artist Dale Eaglesham, Hickman plans to create a rock solid foundation stronger than the Thing's stony hide. Marvel.com spoke with Hickman about coming onto the title as well his views on the Fantastic family and his thoughts on good parenting in the Marvel U.
Marvel.com: How'd you prepare yourself for this gig? Did you go back and read a lot of old FANTASTIC FOUR issues to refresh yourself on the mythos?
Jonathan Hickman: Yeah, I did a ton of research. Growing up, I was never really a Fantastic Four fan. I really pretty much had to read everything. And because I read everything in a condensed period of time, it was a really different way to do research. It wasn't [influenced] by nostalgia or fondness of reading old John Byrne stuff from when I was a kid. I pretty much just picked up on the stuff that worked really well and blew past the stuff that wasn't as good and research-wise, it was an excellent was to get into the history of the FF.
Marvel.com: You mentioned you tried to pick up what worked for the team. What do you think makes the team so dynamic and makes them an interesting part of the Marvel U?
Jonathan Hickman: It's really changed over time. If you look at the early FF stuff, it's very Ben-centric. With Byrne, Sue grew as a character and it wasn't until fairly recently that Reed started dominating the book front to back. So, depending on who your favorite character is, there really is a generation of books for you to choose from. I think part of the difficulty and part of the goal of being on the book is trying to make it more of a cohesive family book, not elevate one character. I think the book needed balance for a long time between characters. We have a plan and we're going to execute it and we feel good about it. We'll see what people think.
FANTASTIC FOUR #571 cover by Alan Davis
Marvel.com: So it sounds like you want to treat the book as a more ensemble cast rather than a main character with a support group.
Jonathan Hickman: There's no arguing that the FF has been a Reed book for the past three or four years just because of everything that's been going on in the Marvel Universe. I mean, Reed's been [heavily involved in everything] from Civil War to Secret Invasion. The trick is that you don't want to diminish Reed to make it all equal. You have to elevate everyone and that's just what we're trying to do.
Marvel.com: Well, I want to hit on all those characters. For Reed, many people write him as the man of science, but how do you see him?
Jonathan Hickman: Reed is a father and a friend and a husband and then a scientist and probably then a super hero. I think one of the problems is that if those are the five components that make up Reed, I think it gets out of order and they have to be realigned. If the Fantastic Four is a super-organism, Reed would be the super ego.
Marvel.com: How about Sue Richards, the Invisible Woman?
Jonathan Hickman: She's the real strength of the team, like most families are built around mothers. I think that she is in many way the trickiest characters to write. And that's certainly proven to be true so far for me. But I think I've gotten a firm grasp of her and it all flows from mother/wife/team support stuff. But she's also an individual and we have to scratch that itch as well. I don't want to give away what the story for Sue is going to be while I'm writing the book. It's tough to talk about what we have planned for without saying that, but I'll try and be specific while still being obtuse. Sue is easily, if you look at the history of the FF, the character who has been most interpreted differently in the most variable number of ways. There's a reason for that: a bunch of guys writing a girl and sometimes they don't get the character or they overcompensate in trying to get their hands around her. That's all I want to say about Sue right now.
Marvel.com: You mentioned Reed as the super ego of the team, so I imagine Johnny Storm has got to be the id, the childlike impulsiveness of the team.
FANTASTIC FOUR #572 cover by Alan Davis
Jonathan Hickman: [Laughs] Yeah. Johnny would be id. Ben would be ego. I was talking to Dan Slott the other day and he said that every writer constantly strives to have [Johnny] evolve on their run, where at the beginning of the run he's infantile and by the end he's grown up and he's actually achieved something. Then the next writer comes on and he's immediately a kid again. [Laughs] Nobody buys the progress of the character. So, yeah. Either he's trapped in that behavior forever or there's a story out there to be told where he becomes something else. I'm not too sure which way we're going to with Johnny, but he's a lot of fun to write.
Marvel.com: Ben Grimm has been a longtime favorite for a lot of fans. He originally had a very mopey persona because of this tragic story, but he's definitely evolved into the ego-as you put it-of the team. Very level headed and almost like the common man. What are your thoughts on him?
Jonathan Hickman: One of [editor] Tom [Brevoort's] first notes to me when I got the job was that the Fantastic Four was always more popular when Ben was the center of the team as this Rocky Balboa kind of guy. He found a way to overcome just by guts and determination. I think there's something to that.
Marvel.com: These last two character often get overlooked, but they're right there on the cover to your first issue: Franklin and Valeria. Will they be playing a role during your run?
Jonathan Hickman: Children have a fantastic way of humanizing anyone through their [relationships]. You either treat your children [well] or you treat them poorly and that's pretty much an indictment of who you are as a person regardless of how much good or bad you do. It's one of those things that's just a glaring example of what you're really about. And I think they're super cool characters. I'm a big fan of Franklin. He's about the same age as my boy and I steal a lot of material from my kid for Franklin. He's a little mischievous and extremely willful and adventurous. Val's one of my favorites because she's as smart as Reed and she's a toddler, which is a fascinating dichotomy. I love those characters and they'll be in [the book] a lot. There will be certain situations that will be impossible to have them in because you can't have a Fantastic Four adventure where the world is going to end and then stick the kids in the middle of it. That's just bad parenting.
Marvel.com: Are they going to have those sibling moments where they argue about who is smarter than whom?
Jonathan Hickman: Well, Val's clearly way smarter than Franklin. Franklin, if he ever recovers his powers, will be more powerful certainly. But they're brother and sister, so of course they're going to fight and get in trouble.
Marvel.com: What can you say about villains you have planned for your run? Who can fans expect to see?
FANTASTIC FOUR #573 cover by Alan Davis
Jonathan Hickman: We'll have everybody pretty much. Let me look at my flowchart here on the wall...
Marvel.com: [Laughs] You have a flowchart tacked to your wall about your FF run?
Jonathan Hickman: Yeah. It goes to issue #500. We'll see if I don't get fired before then. [Laughs] We'll have some Doom, we'll have some Namor, we'll have some Galactus, I won't say this one because it will give something away, we got some Inhumans, we got Mole Man. I don't want to list more because that's a cool reveal. It's a very, very brisk pace story we're going. We're moving at light speed. The Fantastic Four is supposed to be about adventure and big ideas and not ponderous, long-winded issues about the environment with Mole Man. We're not going to do that. We're going to do big stuff, but we're going to go fast and exciting.
Marvel.com: Do you have a favorite villain?
Jonathan Hickman: Well, Doom. Love Doom. And Namor. The ego. I like that about Namor and Doom. The ego is just fun. I like that people have trouble figuring out if Doom is petty or he's just regal. I think it's interesting that he fluctuates between the two. I like that the people of his country love him but that everyone else hates him. I like that. And I really like that he's the anti-Reed. I really, really get a kick out of that. We're going to do a really cool story where we flashback to Reed and Ben and Victor in college. It's going to be a lot fun.[/spoiler]

by MrBlack » Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:14 amFantastic Four #570
I do not think I have ever picked up a Fantastic Four comic until last week. I understand that they're an important superhero team, and I have enjoyed their appearances in other books, but they have never appealed to me enough to buy an actual Fantastic Four comic.
Well, I really enjoyed this issue. It seemed to hit a lot of character moments right from the get go to establish Hickman's take on the team, although it certainly focused on Reed, for obvious reasons. The story is pretty well trodden at this point (How far will science dare to go?), but Hickman is taking it in an interesting direction (THREE Infinity Gauntlets?!).
Eaglesham's art is great, as always, but it really pops here even more than it did in his Justice Society of America run. I recall reading elsewhere that he opted not to go with an inker, and is digitally adding colors, but whatever he's doing he needs to keep it up. Count me as one who likes Buff Reed; it's a nice throwback to the adventurers from the old '50's serials.
I am not sure that I will continue to pick up Fantastic Four, but if the story retains the quality of the first issue, I will definitely grab it in trade.
Story: 7
Art: 9

This sentence explains everything I did not like about this book.
by Kerny » Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:27 pmFantastic Four 570
Being a huge fan of Secret Warriors and being glad Millar's run was over, I was excited for this book. Needless to say, I was a bit let down.
The good: The characters. I feel that Hickman really nailed what every character should sound and act like. I also love the fact that Johnny used his powers in a way that had been underused in a while
Also the art is GREAT. I was sorta an Eaglesham fan from what little I had read of JSA, but he really knocks it out of the park here. I don't get the complaints on Buff Reed. Dude can make his body look like anything he wants, not that big of a deal. The beard might take some getting used to, but even that is not a big issue
The Wizard. Don't know much bout this guy, but he was pretty awesome-ly creepy here with the cloning shenanigans
The bad-Plot. I know this is the FF and all, but I thought this issue was just a little too out there for my taste. Plus I think we all know where this is going. Reed can't solve everything, and he's gonna learn a lesson.
Reedtastic! I thought this issue was way too focused on Reed. I want to see the team as a whole, not "Reed does something super-science-y". Hopefully,Hickman shows us a lot more of Ben and Johnny's vacation to Nu-Earth.
Story 5
Art 9
Overall: 7
by guitarsmashley » Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:40 pm
yeah that's what I'm trying to come to grips with as well except for 9 cents Waid gave us a story about all 4 members.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:44 pmI wonder if Hickman's creator-owned work was based on ideas he had been germinating for a while and so seems more nuanced and complex or, well, interesting?

It started off with reminiscing about old cars, and ended up with a trip to La Grande in a brand-new Cadillac for Senior Wish recipient Buck Hermann. With funds raised from the recent Country Fair at Hawks Ridge Assisted Living, Community Relations Director Kelly Emerson and Resident Care Coordinator Melissa Stanton hit the road to grant Buck his very own wish: a trip home.
Greeted immediately in La Grande with a warm welcome from sister community Grande Ronde Retirement Residence, Buck was reunited with his sister-in-law for a truly touching moment. Both in their 90s and with visits now few and far between, it only took a matter of seconds before the stories started to fly.
In one instant, a wish was granted for each of them. Memories relived, time with family, catching up on old times. A simple thing, that means so much.
After an afternoon of catching up, a celebration dinner was held at Bear Mountain Pizza in La Grande (location of Buck's former business and family home), to bring together family, friends and colleagues. Guests lined up for a moment with their old friend. The current mayor of La Grande was the first to greet Buck and thank him for his service to the community.
A surprise followed when the local Shriners group presented Buck with a plaque awarding him the Lifetime Achievement Award for his fundraising efforts and contributions to the Portland Shriners hospital.
The trip to La Grande ended with a very special ride, when Buck led a caravan of cars around the countryside for a tour in his old Cadillac. When asked how the two cars compared, Buck simply stated, "Well, this (2013) Cadillac has all of the bells and whistles, but mine is just as comfortable."
All around, a fantastic experience, a wish fulfilled and a moment that will not soon be forgotten.
