The athletic training program at Hope College is collecting used wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches and other such ambulatory and rehabilitation aids on behalf of "Wheels for the World."
"Wheels for the World" collects and refurbishes such devices and sends them abroad with volunteers who deliver them to people with disabilities. The objective of "Wheels for the World" is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the disabled all around the world.
The local drive will take place from Saturday, Jan. 31, through Saturday, Feb. 28. Those with items to contribute may deliver them on Fridays between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to the Hope College DeVos Fieldhouse athletic training room. Pickups may also be arranged. Additional information may be obtained by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling (217) 714-4515.
The fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Fairbanks and Lincoln avenues and Ninth and 11th streets. The athletic training room is on the lower level of the west (Lincoln Avenue) side of the fieldhouse.
"Wheels for the World" is a subsection of "Joni and Friends," which provides ministry outreach programs to people with disabilities and their families. "Joni and Friends" was founded in 1979 by Joni Eareckson Tada. At the age of 17, Joni was in a diving accident which left her a quadriplegic in a wheelchair. She has since become a leading disability advocate as well as an author and artist.

Here's a sample of what a request might look like:
Looking for an editor to review spelling, grammar and overall flow for a 3500 word story. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. This will probably go in either erotic horror or non-human category and involves lesbian sex, anal and non-consent. The story involves a lesbian werewolf, a female vampire and a strap-on while they are both working at a Carnival Fun House. I'm not in a rush, so getting it back in a week or so would be great. I can send the document in Word or as a .txt

Syrian writer and dissident Yassin Al Haj Saleh, who after two years in hiding in Damascus fled to his hometown of Raqqa only to find it under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham group. He has now left the country.
In Raqqa, I spent two months and a half in hiding without succeeding in getting one piece of information about my brother Firas. Nothing could be worse than this. Therefore, instead of celebrating my arrival at Raqqa, I had to keep in hiding in my own liberated city, watching strangers oppress it and rule the fates of its people, confiscating public property, destroying a statue of Haroun Al-Rasheed or desecrating a church; taking people into custody where they disappeared in their prisons. All the prisoners were rebel political activists while none of them was chosen from the regime's previous loyalists or shabiha. With the exception of this flagrant oppression of the people, their property and symbols, the new rulers have shown no sign of the spirit of public responsibility which is supposed to be the duty of those who are in power.

Forever Night Challenge #55 - Use the Color Purple
Hello sweet friends! I hope everyone (in the US) had a good Turkey Day, yesterday. My hubby and I just stayed home (as usual) because I'm currently too ill to go anywhere until I can get some of my health issues taken care of. I'm still waiting to get an approval to even make an appointment for the Mayo clinic in Minnesota, and in the meantime, I'm still having serious bladder issues and can't get in to see a urologist until the 28th, so pretty much miserable over here. :p I wanted to thank all of you that left such wonderful comments on my last post, and please know that I plan on visiting everyone's blog who left me such kind words. I'm sorry I haven't been able to get to everyone quite yet, but I want you all to know how much it meant to me to hear from you and to have your support. I really love you gals (and guys)! It really lifts me up to hear from you. :)
Now for some good news...
A long time ago I got accepted as a member of the super fun Forever Night Challenges team, but I was on hiatus as you all know, so I never really took up my term. The lovely ladies over there decided to give me another chance and join for the upcoming term so I am here today with my first post!!! You have no idea how good it feels to be part of a DT again and to actually push myself to get out of bed and be creative! :D I would absolutely LOVE it if everyone would pop over there, tell them Amy Jo sent you, and become a follower.
For those of you who don't know, it's a blog that takes on a bit of the darker side of things. ;) I really enjoy the challenges they have and I've found some really creative people over there! Please join in our challenges. We'd love to have you!
This week we were sponsored by Dilly Beans and I just love the image I got to work with! At first I was going to start a mini album for all of my colored Dilly Beans images that I've worked on, but when I finished with this project I just had to hang it on my wall instead! It looks so cute up there against my pink walls! I still plan on making a mini album, but for now, here's my cute 8x6" picture.
|Click to get a better view
I used the "Cori" image from Dilly Beans, as well as on of the sentiments from "artist quotes", both available for purchase at Megan's store. I just loved the head-shot, but I wanted to do something different so I made her a body from some fussy cut bottles (from that same DCWV mat-stack) that I glued together and then stuck her head on top. I think it turned out pretty neat and totally "out of the box" for me. ;) Look closely to see the spider crawling up her. I colored her with Copics (4 different shades of purple -- even her skin is purple, with green eyes) and a white gelly pen for details. I also added an earring, which has purple, black, and green! It's actually an epoxy eyelet charm from Making Memories. I popped her up off the page with pop dots. I printed the sentiment on blue cardstock and fussy cut the words out.
Lastly I added two potion bottles from MS (love those!) and how perfect is the tombstone that reads "Mrs. Anita Newbody"??? I was thrilled to find that, cause essentially that's exactly what I did...gave her a new body. :) The cute tombstone button is from Dress It Up. As always, I inked all my edges with Colorbox Cat's Eye ink in "Blackbird".
I hope you all enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed making it! Please join us this week at Forever Night for our challenge "Use the Color Purple". I would love to see you there!
In addition, I will be entering this project in the following challenges:
Lady Anne's Challenges ~ Anything Goes (used digi stamps)

As a digital media author and HTML/CSS template reviewer at ThemeForest.net, I know first hand how frustrating copyright can be — especially for those who pay their bills with the works they create. It's difficult, at best, to keep an eye out for people infringing on your works let alone attempting to do something about it. Even worse, authors can be accused of copyright infringement by those who may know nothing about it, causing serious problems for (an often innocent) author.
The solution? Well, there really isn't any clearcut solution but the closest you'll come to one (without hiring your own copyright lawyer) is Myows [mee-o-s]. Myows is probably the easiest and fastest solution as well. It's a new service but none-the-less promising.

The Houston Cougars ended their 16-game losing streak to Rice with an 11-6 win over the Owls on Friday at Reckling Park.
The Silver Glove Series continues Saturday with first pitch coming at 1:30 p.m. The game will be televised live on Fox Sports Southwest and Fox Sports Houston.
Probable starters are righthander Austin Kubitza (4-3, 3.65 ERA) for Rice and lefthander Jordan Lewis (3-6, 6.28 ERA) for Houston.
Here's a recap of Friday night's game and below, some notes on the Cougars:
Offensive onslaught
The Cougars put together one of their best offensive games of the season. Friday's 11-run output was the first time they've hit double-digits on the scoreboard since March 25 (10-5 win over Southern Mississippi) and the most since March 13 (when Houston beat Sam Houston State 12-2). The Cougars pounded out 15 hits, including eight in the first three innings against Rice righthander Matthew Reckling.
Reckling came into the game not having allowed a home run and yielding just 12 runs (11 earned) in 68 2/3 innings. The Cougars said they tried to lay off his curveball and wait for fastballs and try to pound the opposite field gap. The plan worked out well, because the Cougars pounded the ball all over the field. There weren't a lot of bleeders coming out of the infield: the hits were often hard.
"You have to sit on pitches, wait on your pitch and not swing at their pitch," Houston coach Todd Whitting said. "We've done that really well twice against Rice, and we did a really good job of that early in the season as well. We had great at-bats all night, put 15 hits on the board, we've just got to come back with the same approach tomorrow. We sit there and wait and get our pitch and then do something with it. We got great swings off all night."
Rice coach Wayne Graham said that Reckling had "no command" of his curveball.
"He had no command of the breaking ball at all," Graham said. "I think they're a pretty a good fastball hitting team. They did a good job of hitting. You have to have two pitches in college baseball. You can't win with one unless you throw it 112 miles per hour."
Handy with the glove
The Cougars had one of their best defensive games, committing zero errors — the first time they've gone errorless since April 20 in a win over Marshall. They also made several key plays throughout the day, including one in the eighth on a wild pitch where catcher John Cannon threw out Ford Stainback as he was trying to advance to second after the ball got away from Cannon. Chase Jensen made some nice plays at shortstop, including a good throw on a close play at first that ended an inning, Appling made a play or two and Michael Pyeatt made a running catch to end an inning and help UH get out of trouble once.
"Defense has been a key issue all year; we haven't played good defense," Whitting said. "A lot of that is — I've got Appling who's an outfielder playing second, Lueneburg who's an outfielder playing first — my right side are both outfielders. But every day you just have to keep grinding it out. The past doesn't equal the future in this game so every day at practice we just work on getting better. It paid off for them tonight, they were able to relax and make some … our defense, it's hard to say what won the game, but we had some huge plays. That play by Cannon in the eighth runner to throw out the trail runner when they had a rally going might have won the ballgame."
Pruitt grinds it out
Austin Pruitt has been the most reliable starting pitcher the Cougars have had all season and though he was far from perfect, he was good enough on Saturday to help the Cougars win. He threw 7 1/3 innings, allowed five runs on 11 hits and struck out four on 123 pitches. It wasn't pretty but with Houston having picked up eight runs in the first three, it was good enough.
The coaching staff has put plenty of trust in him to let him go deep into ballgames and more often than not, Pruitt has rewarded that trust.
"I felt pretty good," Pruitt said. "The first two innings I felt pretty good. In the third inning I came out kind of flat. Coach (Jack) Cressend pulled me aside and talked to me a little bit. But then I got back in the zone."
Odds and ends
- The 11 runs Houston scored was the most the Cougars have had in the Silver Glove Series since Feb. 27, 2008 (12-11 Houston loss).
- The 15 hits Houston compiled was the most Rice has allowed this season, surpassing the 14 hits Rice allowed to Stanford.
- Houston infielder Landon Appling has an 11-game hitting streak. His six RBIs on Friday were a career-high, surpassing the five he put up on April 15, 2011.
- Every Cougar in the bottom five spots in the batting order (John Cannon, Michael Pyeatt, Zack Gibson, Price Jacobs and Taylor White) scored at least one run. All of them recorded at least one hit except Gibson, who reached twice on a hit-by-pitch and once on a walk. Nine of the 11 runs were scored by the bottom five spots in the order.
- Rice pitcher Matthew Reckling had a 17-inning scoreless streak snapped in the second inning.

This is a full size bust of Fred Gwynne as 'Jud Crandall' from the 1989 Stephen King film; "Pet Sematary".
Many reference pics of both Fred Gwynne and the Hero prop were used to attain a bust that was as close to the screen used prop as possible.
The head is foam filled, and features glass eyes, eyelashes and resin teeth. The paint job is multi layered and the hair has been hand laid. He is also fitted with a real hearing aid. He has been mounted on a customized mannequinn that has been shaped to match Fred Gwynne's body type. He is also dressed as per the film.
The prototype bust, which featured just the slash across Jud's mouth, will be featured in the upcoming documentary; "Unearthed and Untold; The Path To Pet Sematary".
The price on him is FIRM. It is the lowest I wil
l go to make him as affordable as possible. The Shipping cost will be calculated after purchase,
as it will obviously vary depending on location.

Is it year zero for the UK deficit debate?
It's no good crying over lost growth, and Labour is not going to win the economic argument by constantly harking back to the summer of 2010. That is a key message you can take from Ed Balls' big speech on the economy this week.
Commentators have understandably jumped on his admission that Labour will have to squeeze spending too, if it wins back Number 10 in the next few years. There was also that symbolically important gesture, about taxing winter fuel payments going to better-off pensioners.
But the biggest lesson is that the great rhetorical debate between Labour and the government - the battle over "growth versus austerity" - has had its day. The country has moved on. And like it or not, so has the shadow chancellor.
Room for debate
That does not mean that all the questions about growth and austerity have been answered. As the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the other day, the foundations for growth are not yet firmly in place. There's still room for lively debate about how best to secure the recovery.
Nor does it necessarily mean that George Osborne was right all along - and Ed Balls was wrong. In fact a disinterested observer might look at what the two of them were saying in the summer of 2010 and conclude precisely the opposite.
That observer would note that George Osborne has failed to achieve either of the key objectives he set himself - to eliminate the structural hole in the deficit and have the stock of debt falling as a share of GDP by the end of the parliament.
Debt will still be rising as a share of the economy in 2015, and the deficit in that year is now forecast to be about £70bn higher than originally planned. Borrowing is barely going to fall at all, now, until 2014-15. Instead of growing by 6% since the summer of 2010, as Mr Osborne hoped, the economy has barely grown at all.
Ed Balls could have decided, a while ago, to declare victory and call this Plan B. I suggested as much to him, on the BBC's Budget programme, minutes after the chancellor had delivered his speech in March.
'Killer' question
I asked him, if Mr Osborne was borrowing and spending so much more than planned, didn't that mean he was doing exactly what Labour had suggested? How could he berate him for that, while still claiming the chancellor was cutting too far, too fast?
Afterwards I got quite a lot of emails and twitter messages, applauding my "killer" line of questioning. (Also some from Labour sympathisers accusing me of "picking on" the shadow chancellor... poor thing.)
In fact, there was a respectable economic answer to my question, which is that being forced to borrow more, as a result of a flat economy, is not the same thing as choosing to borrow more, to prevent that flat economy, in advance.
In theory, a more 'Keynesian" government in 2010 might have set out to use those extra billions to invest in infrastructure and done more for jobs and the economy - without borrowing a lot more than George Osborne now has. (That is what the IMF means when it talks about the "fiscal multipliers" being much larger than they initially thought.)
But this was not really the reply Ed Balls gave on Budget day. And it is not an argument that Labour have managed to get across to voters, for two very good reasons.
The first is that most people are inherently sceptical of the idea that you solve a debt crisis by borrowing even more, whatever economists might say on the subject.
David Cameron has been happy to exploit that scepticism in countless speeches, even as his government continues to borrow more than Keynes would ever have imagined.
The second reason why Mr Balls has not been able to claim victory for his alternative strategy is that he never really offered it.
Pseudo debate
Former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling was going to slash capital investment too from 2010 onwards. Ed Balls distanced himself from Darling's plan and came up with his "five point plan." But in the scale of things, that was not so very different from what we already had.
A determined Keynesian effort to double public investment, cut taxes and go all out for growth - along the lines suggested by the likes of Paul Krugman - was simply never on the table.
Maybe America shows us that there was a better alternative out there. Maybe it doesn't. The problem for Ed Balls is that people never really believed he was offering one. And now they no longer care (if they ever did).
Modest growth between now and the election will not prove George Osborne right. But it will make the battle over 2010 look less and less relevant to the concerns of ordinary voters. Ed Balls' speech is a reflection of that basic reality.
The sheer scale of the deficit means that it will dominate British politics for years to come. But something tells me the pseudo debate between Labour and the coalition over "growth versus austerity" will not.

|Find the best surf spots
Monday July 7 2008 08:30:00 PM
Surf spot: Embouch point, Switzerland
Session's Rate:
Wind direction: Onshore
Wind Strength: Light
Length of the surf session: 12 min
Surfboard ridden: RR 8ft
Fins: none!
Weather and water temp: OK weather - cold, really cold water
Waves height: Less than 1m / 3ft
Took my board down to the lake - actually not at this exact 'spot' but about 5km further up. Found an nice isolated place and paddelled out. I swam in the lake several days before and it was OK temperature - but now after a couple of days of rain it was pretty cold and I was glad to have my shorty wetsuit on.
Happilly no one saw this sad spectacle of a land-locked surfer paddling out. If I can get a bit fitter (or a bit less un-fit), and catch one or two extra waves when on vacation next month... then it will not have been so silly. Still, I did feel pretty stupid 'suiting up' next to a perfectly falt lake :-)

Written by Tom Rachman
Peel: A collection of overlapping vignettes focused on a failing newspaper.
Each chapter is from a different character's point of view, and inserted between chapters is the italicized history of the paper. The book reads much more like a collection of stories than a novel. Though the characters appear rather different at first glance, they're all alienated, cliches, and a bit dysfunctional. All the women characters are irredeemable with some form of neurosis, self-esteem issues, and/or a need for men. The prose itself wasn't that great, and worsens as the novel continues. There are some amusing moments and lovely scenery, but the chapter titles/headlines tended to oversell the chapters.
The book is focused on people struggling with themselves, rather than the paper struggling to exist in an internet age. The brief bits of the paper's history were rather dull.
Nibble: "This wins a ringing endorsement and a fast-dying chuckle- they don't like to laugh at each other's jokes."
I would recommend this to someone as a quick and light read.

The Anatomy of an Anime Mental Breakdown
As defined by TV tropes, Sanity Slippage is when it is apparent that a character is losing their edge, and slowly sliding down the slippery slope to insanity. It may be that they now have a verbal tic they didn't before, perhaps they're spouting a Madness Mantra. Perhaps they're simply not sleeping, or not eating, or maybe, just maybe, they've gone off the deep end, and are completely different from the character they were before.
So, how does one define a Mental Breakdown of this sort? How does one describe and even characterize such a thing? After all, nothing is more interesting than the breaking and splintering of a human psyche. Nothing gets us more than the suffering of another. Perhaps it's Schadenfruede, or perhaps it's just a need to see how far a person can be pushed before they break.
So, we're going to break down that amazing phenomena that is the Anime Breakdown.
Step One: Stress
So, How do we take a perfectly normal character, and make them into something broken and weeping? First, we have to start with that perfectly normal character! Whether this is your villain or your hero, or both, you need a base line for them. So start them off at their normal. Perhaps they're a normal high-school student?
Stressors would be required to remove them from this normalcy state, and into something close to the sanity slippage we mentioned earlier. In the case of our example here, Mr. Yagami is introduced to a book titled the Death Note. This Death Note provides him a literal example of how "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility".
Over time, the toll of his body count, as well as the things he needs to do to keep from being prosecuted, begin to take a toll on his sanity. Light grows paranoid, increasingly so, and emotionally manipulative. He hides from those who care about him, and performs actions that most would consider appalling. He meets people he'd never thought to meet, but can't really call any of them friends. In fact, he's withdrawn from humanity so much that he honestly begins to believe he's a god.
These stressors cause his reactions to become more and more terrifying and odd, until we get this lovely number:
So Stressors. But what happens once stressors take their toll?
Step Two: Symptoms
This is when we begin to show our homework. A lot of this is going to require research, because honestly, every character is going to react differently. Your stressors are different, and while there will be some crossover sometimes, you can't just slap a sticker on it and call it good.
So, first, take into account the exact stressors. Is your character being spoken to by the whispering voices of dark gods, dreaming in the beyond? Well then, maybe they'd start listening to music, accidentally yell at their friends, maybe they would end up gouging out their ears? Oh, wait. We' aren't there yet, are we…
Here are some common symptoms and examples:
Madness Mantra – A character begins to repeat over and over something that was said to them, something they heard, something they thought, some small phrase that means a lot. This could also double as arch words, if the author is thoughtful about it!
Room Full of Crazy – Perhaps the character begins posting pictures of the victims on their walls, writing the connecting facts between them? Perhaps they start carving out a calender, representing all the times they'd lost time. Or maybe they simply don't control their room any more. Things go missing, they can't find something, and then it turns up in places they didn't put it.
Paranoia – They may begin to grow distrustful of those they once loved, and those they cared about. Maybe they don't quite know who they can trust. Maybe they worry that someone they don't know at all will turn out to be their downfall? Who knows.
Running Away from Responsibilities – That's right. When a person is pushed to the limit, they often try to escape from the pressures restraining them. In this case, that means they refuse to fight, they hide. There might be a scene in which they lay about, while others do important things, or perhaps the character hides under blankets.
Now these are just a few symptoms, and to be honest, there are as many symptoms as there are characters. Each one is going to have it's own reaction. But now you have a general idea of what to do.
Step three: The Catalyst
On TvTropes, this is referred to as The Despair Event Horizon, which basically just means, the thing that pushes them over the edge into complete and utter breakdown. My favorite culmination for this is into what is known as a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. Which is basically a character who has undergone such a life of misery and woe, that they have decided the only way to end it is to kill themselves and everyone else along with them. It's a great trope, give it a read!
Anyway, so the Catalyst can be just about anything. From a Woman in the Fridge to a Kick the Dog moment, it really depends. Basically, the final straw that breaks the camels back. This is the thing that will finally cause that "Everything is over" moment that shatters the character's (and if you did it right, your reader's) hearts. This should be your climax, the high point in your story, and the culmination of this character's arc. After this, it's all downhill, and healing.
So congratulations! Those are the three big ingredients to writing an Anime Mental Breakdown. There are of course other tropes you can invoke, or even revoke, in order to make it more interesting, and more unique, however, these are the three main things you need. I would recommend reading through those pages, if only so that you can get an idea of what's already been done. You don't wanna accidentally overlap, after all.more

Elina and Kevin :: Expecting
I really have no words here. Elina and Kevin will be holding their baby within a month and it leaves me speechless. She is growing a human inside her amazing body and he is supporting her. Together they are a family and, of course, they have no idea what they're in for. And it's beyond my ability to describe. And they let me document it. And moreover? I get to be there for the birth. No words.

The news that Bennington residents rejected a town-initiated size cap on big-box retail stores reinforces the notion that the proposed state regulation on this issue should incorporate provisions to allow an appropriate measure of local control. Bennington's vote does not, however, cast any doubt on the wisdom of a statewide initiative.
For readers not abreast of the news in Bennington, residents there rejected a proposed bylaw to cap any single big-box retail store at 75,000 square feet. That measure was defeated 2,189 to 1,724, with a respectable turnout of 40 percent for a single-issue vote. The measure became a referendum on Wal-Mart, which had stated its intention to expand its existing store there from 50,000 square feet to 112,000 square feet. In a well-financed advertising campaign, Wal-Mart developer Jonathan Levy, of Ohio-based Redstone Investments, outspent proponents for the selectboard's bylaw by a 3-1 margin.
The vote and Wal-Mart's (via the developer) outsized spending on the campaign, not to mention engaging its employees to send customers to the polls, elicited this curious response from Sen. Vince Illuzzi, R-Essex-Orleans: "I'm sure there are existing stores in Bennington that will no longer be in business in three to five years … My hat's off to Wal-Mart and the developer. It shows that the company will spend whatever it takes to locate a store where it wants to locate a store.�
It's a backhanded compliment, of course. Illuzzi was admiring the ruthlessness of the world's largest retail corporation to get what it wants. But in tipping his hat, Illuzzi also suggests that all is fair in love and war, and that it doesn't matter if the retail giant uses its wealth to outspend opponents; it doesn't matter if the "facts� Wal-Mart claims are contested as so much self-serving nonsense put out by a highly paid public relations department; it doesn't matter if the effect on Bennington's downtown is disastrous; it doesn't matter if the town is poorer for the decision a decade from now.
But it does matter, and Sen. Illuzzi knows it. That's why he's co-sponsoring a bill that would institute a statewide cap on big-box retail stores at 50,000 square feet, with a provision to increase the cap to 75,000 square feet if a town's residents agree.
What makes that statewide cap doubly important is precisely because Wal-Mart and the mega-developers who handle such projects are ruthless. Their concerns do not represent the best long-term interest of the Vermont communities they would infiltrate. They are interested in growing sales; making a return on investment; and if that means running other stores out of business and dominating a market with a single mega-store, so be it.
That's Darwinian capitalism, raw as it comes. And until towns change the rules, we all have to exist in a marketplace in which the biggest, the meanest and the wealthiest rule the roost.
If Vermonters want to take their hats off to that concept, go right ahead.
But there is a more enlightened approach.
Just as the federal government has long understood that it must bust up industrial enterprises that get so big they threaten the national interest (the robber barons of each respective era), towns and states must also realize that some of the largest retail conglomerates pose such an overwhelming size advantage that their mere presence drastically changes a market. And when one big-box store locates in a community, others often follow — multiplying the problem many times over.
A community's, and a state's, one defense is to change the rules to level the playing field for local, independently owned businesses. Voters have the right and the power to change those rules, and it is up to the elected officials of the towns and state to put such options before them.
The proposed statewide cap on retail space, if structured properly, could level the playing field for Vermont's independent retailers while still allowing for local control. Ideally, what the state would hope to prevent is allowing a big-box retailer to undermine the efforts of one community by slipping into another town a few miles away. That could be accomplished with a provision that requires the big-box developer to first ask the prospective community if their presence would be accepted before any real estate deals were made or permits sought. Just the asking would allow area communities to prepare arguments for or against the request with ample time — and not, as it is today, force opponents to argue that a permit that's already been filed must be denied.
 In allowing such local control, the fear is that Wal-Mart could win many of those battles with outsized spending on advertising campaigns that spread false information, and by appealing to the public's baser, short-term instincts. For that reason, requiring a supermajority to refute the statewide cap has some merit — though it runs counter to the premise of majority rule and that has its own set of drawbacks.
Nonetheless, a statewide cap — even with conditions attached — is still better than doing nothing and watching Vermont towns be over-run by a corporate giant whose modus operandi is to divide and conquer, turn neighbor against neighbor as they did in Bennington, and dominate each market while driving local stores out of business. Â
The challenge facing Sen. Illuzzi and others in the Legislature is to devise a law that strikes the right balance in the fight to preserve Vermont's uniqueness, without denying larger communities the right of self-determination. The worst thing to do would be to walk away from the battle. It took courage to wage this fight, let's find a way to make it work.

Not sure if this is a BIBM problem or Ubuntu 16.04.1
When I installed Ubuntu I set up the 2 Partitions, one for the OS and the other for the Swap file, and the Ubuntu installation seemed to go fine.
It seems that I don't have a swap file according to Ubuntu, even though it did create the partition so I am wondering what could be the reason.
The partition is definitely there when I run PartInfo from Windows or check while in the Boot It partition work screen.
Not sure what to do as I don't think I should be changing it from within Ubuntu when I'm using Unlimited Primaries.

Last month, the SimCity box set went on sale. It included five different versions of the popular city-building simulation game, which was first published for PCs in 1989. The Sims games were not only one of the best-selling franchises of the past two decades — they pioneered an entire category of simulation games that require quicker problem-solving skills than trigger fingers.
"What SimCity showed was that you can have a game built for entertainment and have people look at that and say, 'You know, I can teach with this,'" notes Ben Sawyer, co-owner of consulting firm Digitalmill and founder of the Serious Games Initiative, an organization founded at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC. The organization encourages the use of virtual environments to address public-policy issues.
"People were saying, 'This is an interesting way to introduce people to the complexities of managing a city.' Of course it wasn't a perfect example of what actually went on, but it got people thinking that games can be a lot more than chasing ghosts and chomping dots."
Now video games are making their way into corporations. These "serious games"—the term that's been kicking around the last few years to describe games that are learning tools—use the same technology as the latest PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 titles, but they're not targeted at Doritos-munching 14-year-olds.
Primarily healthcare, education, and the military industries were using video games for training. "What's different is that a few years ago, a lot of our customers were dot govs, dot orgs," says Sawyer. "Today I'm starting to see a lot of dot coms—corporations. I can tell you right now that we've done work for six global Fortune 500 companies."
One of these companies is Hilton Hotels. Earlier this year the hotel chain integrated Ultimate Team Play, a role-playing game, into their training program. Developed by Virtual Heroes Inc. specifically for Hilton Garden Inns, Ultimate Team Play puts employees in situations where they have to decide how to best satisfy a hotel guest. For example, an employee may have to interact with a guest in the lobby, or answer the phone, by choosing their level of interaction with the guest from a list to best determine which response best suits a guest's demeanor.
Players are then rated by how well they complete the task, as well as how the guest reacts to the service. Their actions are timed and their choice determines the mood of the virtual guest, which is then calculated by the hotel's real-world Satisfaction and Loyalty Tracking Survey, which is used to rank guests' satisfaction with their stay.
"Not only is Ultimate Team Play a cool training program, but it's the first program that uses serious-games-based technology in the hospitality industry," says David Kervella, Hilton Hotels' senior manager of brand education. "It simulates real-world guest interactions, which is something team members can't get in lecture-based training. And because it's new, it will get their attention."
The beta test is currently being run in five to ten hotels with the full interactive training game being released to all Hilton Garden Inn Hotels in January 2009.
Last year Alcoa, the world's third largest producer of aluminum, announced its implementation of SafeDock, a simulation program that uses gaming technology, into its training program. The interactive 3-D game simulates hazards associated with operating mobile equipment in a loading dock environment like forklifts and pallet jacks. Developed by Etcetera Edutainment, SafeDock is considered an addition, not a replacement, to Alcoa's already thorough and complete safety training program.
SafeDock was made available to Alcoa plant locations worldwide last September, says Alcoa's Environment, Health, and Safety Talent Manager, Jamie Mackay. The program will expand to other plants once computer hardware requirements are worked out.
"Employees who are familiar with video games like SafeDock," Mackay says. "Many older workers, though, have difficulty with it. We are thinking about developing a simpler version of the game as a way to ease employees into the concept of using video games as a training tool."
Next up, Alcoa plans to release another game to train employees on possible dangers in the workplace.
"We are calling it SafeTour," Mackay says. "The objective of the SafeTour project is to develop a training tool using computer simulation technology to train Alcoa employees in the potential environmental, health, and safety hazards they may encounter in a manufacturing plant plus explain the countermeasures in place to protect employees from those hazards."
Even tech companies are using serious games. For the last five years, Cisco Systems Inc., the computer software and hardware giant, has been developing a variety of games for training, promotion and social networking. In the training space, the company has developed games for its Cisco Certification program, one of the premiere networking certification programs in the world.
"Many people preparing for a Cisco Certification examination choose a variety of self-study methods such as e-learning or printed study guides," said Jerry Bush, a program manager for Cisco Systems who works in the
Learning @ Cisco group, that is responsible for the development of the Cisco
Certification program. "We also find that most students who attend traditional instructor-led classes still spend a great deal of time in self-study. To support these individuals, we built several websites that provide offerings such as practice quizzes, access to mentors and of course, learning games."
The Binary Game is one of the games used in the certification program, and it teaches strategies related to the binary number system, a foundation knowledge used by Cisco certified professionals to install, configure and operate local-area networks (LAN), wide-area networks (WAN) and access services for small networks. The game plays like a game of Tetris or Lumines where rows of 1s and 0s appear from the bottom of the screen and the player clicks the 1s and 0s to create binary numbers. The players earn points when they answer correctly but the game becomes more difficult when rows begin to appear faster and faster. As the players advance through the game, they begin to recognize patterns and develop conversion strategies.
"Learning games offer a fun and effective way to study," Bush says. "We have found that some topics can actually be learned better by using the right learning game."
The demand for games-based training is huge, but it doesn't stop there. Video-game technology is now being used in data collection, market research, promotion, polling, and a plethora of other areas. But people who develop and consult in the serious games space are hoping for bigger and better things—like an office between the accountant and the marketing coordinator at your average corporation.
"The question becomes, are investments in game technologies something that's strategic to an organization across the board, much the way investments in websites, intranet technologies, communications, and video-media production are?" says Sawyer. "Why aren't we applying that same mentality to games?" Given the recent hype surrounding Google's foray onto Second Life's turf, serious corporate thinking about serious games just might be a lot closer to reality.

Transfer Window: January 2013The very best posts from KUMB over the years ...
Moderator: Gnome
Transfer Window: January 2013
That's the skillful midfielder/winger from GAIS Gothenburg who's out of contract in January, and apparently we've had him on trial and Sam wants to sign him, however, other clubs are sniffing around as well, Stuttgart for example, but especially Parma were allegedly leading the race in the negotiations to sign him.
He's definitely one for the future and I wouldn't mind signing him.
Any ITK's out there with an update on where we are with regard to Celik ? Still in the hunt and in with a chance ?
Or are Parma more likely to win his signature so that we will concentrate our efforts in January to sign Andy Johnson and/or Liam Ridgewell ???
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
I'm interested in this too, and I wonder what our Swedish friends have to say about him.
But I'm sure the question is one for the transfer-thread.
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Thought he signed for an italian team ?
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
After a quick search, it seems Parma have now turned their attention towards another attacking player from the Swedish league (David Löfquist).
http://www.fotbollskanalen.se/1.2375587 ... officiellt
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
I have no news on Mervan Celik.
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Very thoughtful of you to share this with us, I'm sure everybody interested in this can sleep calmly now that we are no longer in the dark...please do get back to us as soon as you find out anything about Mervan Celik signing for us or not...
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
The latest news I can find in Swedish press is from last week and just tells us that the negotiation with Parma is close to be done. After that: silence.
Two years ago there was a lot talk about us and another Swede: RB Mikael Lustig. As he has been very good in the national team it would have been a good buy. But he has today " signed" for Celtic.
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Mmmmm interesting. I would like to also add I have no news on Anton Hysen
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Mervan Celik - is it an anagram?
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
That's what I thought too!
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
A Clever Mink
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
If Parma are legitimately in for him, then I doubt we stand a chance. Unfortunate effect of not being in the PL!
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Correct, he is none other than Vicar Ken Elm, that bloke from Eastenders that's after Dots sister.
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Swedish press today reports that Parma have signed the other Swede Löfkvist that someone mentioned above. Then the deal with Celik is probably off....So who knows, things might still happen in January. Or a deal might already have been struck?
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
Like many said before me, it´s been totaly silent for a while, I´ll check if my GAIS mates knows anything, but a few weeks ago they said Parma was a done deal, don´t know now since they´ve signed löfquist, who i know next to nothing about. Brilliant signing by Celtic by the way, Lustig is a great RB.
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
n.b. Still no news here, I'm afraid.
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
According to Italian football blog "forzaitalianfootball.com" Mervan Celik HAS signed for Parma:
"Tommaso Ghirardi is disappointed with the lack of fight his team showed during their defeat to Novara on Saturday and has said that Sampdoria's midfield general Angelo Palombo could be the perfect man to bolster his side in the middle of the park. After confirming the signing of Swedish midfielder Mervan Celik already, he hopes that Palombo will follow suit to the Ennio Tardini but has conceded it may be difficult."
Well, this one seems to have slipped underneath our radar then...shame really, would have fitted with us, giving us some pace and style, let's see what Big Sam and the Davids come up with in January window as alternatives...
Re: Any news on Mervan Celik ?
I'm not saying it's untrue, but I doubt it very much. Not a single hint in any Swedish papers, football sitesor bloggs. Not in his hometown (Gothenburg) or from those who follow Gais (his club) or his own FB. We'll see...
January 2013:Transfer Window Thread (Rumour and Confirmed)
With six to seven weeks to go to the opening of the January Transfer window, and no doubt Sam is working on improvements to the squad already, I was just going through the team/squad to see if there are any areas which could be strengthened or players let go, I dont see us spending too much and as a squad for a newly promoted side its pretty strong, but here's my views.
Goalkeeper, I believe we should perhaps try to get someone on loan, as cover for Jussi and leave Henderson to play at Ipswich for the rest of the season.
Defence, for me the centre half positions are covered, and although the majority on here, and myself, were very worried at the lack of strength at full back, I think Demel & OBrien are more than capable at right and McCartney has had a good steady season so far, but I think we need a bit more cover a left back.
Midfield, for me unless you are to spend miilions, which we are not, there is no need to strengthen, except for signing Yossi permanently.
Forwards, and again for me there is no need to strengthen, we have Carroll & Cole, and to change things a bit Maiga.
Bench, this has got to be one of the strongest benches we have had in a long, long while, a mix of experience and Youth and all bodes well.
So for me, two loan signings of a goalkeeper and left back would suffice. I also can't see too many leaving, perhaps Cole, O'Neill, Taylor, but to be honest I can see a quiet Transfer window ahead.
Of course this will all go to t**s up if we get any more long term injuries.

Re: January Transfer Activity (If any)
Never going to happen but if we signed Ryan Shawcross I'd drown in my own semen.

Wow this was good. We will be doing this one many times this summer I'm sure.
Its nice now that the girls are older as they can keep themselves busy on car rides without wanting to kill each other. Sometimes I feel guilty about all of the electronics that they have for our rides, but then I remember the rides where they weren't so content and that guilt subsides very quickly. We did have a rousing game of "What Am I" on the ride up and that was fun.
One of the things that Jim and I do on long road trips is make lists. On Monday while we were on our way back to North Carolina from Maryland we did two things: wrote a new workout plan (trying to step things up a bit) and a grocery list. Somewhere along the way we decided that grilled Caesar salads sounded good for dinner. I don't know about you, but I crave salads when I come home from a trip. I can't explain it, but I crave them like I crave sugar (which is a lot.) Its strange really.
So, if you have never grilled romaine, then I suggest you go and buy some and try this very soon. We buy the ones in the package that are still in tact. They come in packages of three or four and they are perfect for grilling. All you do is cut the head of lettuce in half (the long way so they stay together) and then lightly brush with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook both sides for about 30 seconds. I didn't have time to make dressing so I got Ken's Light Caesar Vinaigrette and I have to say it was pretty darn good. I was a little worried that the bottled dressing would take away from the great flavor of the grilled lettuce, but it didn't at all. Next time I might like a little more anchovy taste, but otherwise it was perfect.
The chicken was grilled and then sliced. If you want a simple and quick marinade, this balsamic grilled chicken goes great on this salad. We also grilled some onion which added a nice flavor. Finally, we finished the salad off with some black olives and shredded Parmesan cheese.
Seriously, this salad was tasty and I can't wait to have it again. Grilling the romaine wilts it a bit, but also gives it a deeper flavor. The ends even got a little bit crispy which was my favorite part.
The other thing that I liked about this meal was that everything cooks right on the grill which makes it easy to throw together and easy to clean up. It's also pretty healthy and a perfect light grilled meal.
The bruschetta on the side had goat cheese and diced tomatoes – recipe will be later this week.
Grilled Ceasar Salad
- 2 romaine hearts - washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 grilled chicken breasts sliced thin
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Your favorite Caesar Dressing we used Ken's light Caesar Vinaigrette
- Grilled onion rings
- Black Olives
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Slice each romaine heart in half the long way so that the root keeps them intact. Lightly brush each half with olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place romaine on grill over medium high heat and cook on each side for about 30 seconds.
- Place one romaine half on each plate and top with half of a sliced chicken breast. Add olives and onions. Sprinkle with Parmesan and salad dressing.
- Enjoy!

Dec. 30, 2005
Debbie Niesen wasn't supposed to be there, experiencing the anguish. Folded at the waist, Niesen pressed her hands against the outside of her head. How could she possibly survive what few are challenged to tolerate? For those who watched the final of the Cable Car Classic, you'd think the previous description is of Debbie Niesen watching her son play one of the final games of his college career. It's really much more than that.
"She was diagnosed with cancer when she was 13 and went through chemotherapy. She was told she had six months to live and to this day they don't know why and how she overcame the cancer. It's kind of a corny thing to say but I think it has to do with her mental approach and how positive she was about the whole process. She really is one of the toughest people I've ever met. If I can be half as tough as her I'll be fine."
Thursday night, Debbie Niesen did hold her head with her hands, rooting for Santa Clara to pull off the upset against an NCAA tournament team. While Travis plays like it's his last day on the face of the earth, his perspective on the game and life reflects a different philosophy.
I tell her, `It's okay. No one is going to remember this in 5 years.' The world doesn't revolve around basketball so don't pretend that it does. She's more worried than I am. I feel so bad. She's got her head in hands and I'm worried for her. I hope she calms down and when I tell her I love her after the game and I'm okay, not riled up anymore then she's fine. "
As a teenager with chicken pox, Travis Niesen was confined to his room for fear of spreading his ailment to others. Always wanting to play guitar but never having the time, he immersed himself in the craft. Learning chords on his own, he would play with his fingers bleeding because of the sores. By the time Niesen's skin healed he knew what he was doing and now has a repertoire that features Dave Matthews and calls Led Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven" a "show off" song. Because of the stress of balancing school and basketball, Niesen will sit in his room with the guitar, strumming and picking away anxiety, alone with his thoughts. Thoughts that travel far and beyond chasing down Gonzaga or a new wrinkle in the half court offense.
Niesen has fantasized about being a pro golfer with drives that consistently reach 280 yards. The occasional errant iron shot has forced him to learn patience. He attacks this game like he does the rim, with focus and passion. He's a surfer, who was talked into sky diving last summer by his girlfriend (soccer player Bonnie Bowman). Bungee jumping? Overrated. Here's a guy who's getting all the marrow from the bone. His victory is simply doing his best regardless of what the scoreboard says. In a lot of ways, Niesen has it figured out while the rest of us are looking for answers. This comes from a player who appears to the outside world to be one technical foul short of a straight jacket. If he's crazy, then he's crazy like a fox.
Not many players increase their scoring by 5 point a game every year for an entire career but Niesen has done that, now at 20 points a game. He's on pace to get into the top 15 all-time by the end of the season. By scoring 47 points in 2 nights, Niesen was named the winner of the Cable Car MVP, often willing the ball into the basket and his team to victory. It completes the Lion King circle of life for him at the tournament. As a sophomore, he won the Kevin O'Connor award and was all-tourney last year.
"I love the city of Santa Clara and I hope to stay around here in whatever I do next year. It would be great coming back to the Cable Car and knowing we won our senior year. It means a lot. It's awesome."
The same night with rain falling on southbound highway 17, three Bucknell coaches were on their way to a post Cable Car Classic event paying tribute to someone who took them apart an hour earlier.
"That (fill in with your own colorful adjective ending in "ing") Travis Niesen!" said one of the Bison assistant. "He flies around, uses his elbows right, flops at the right time. They all feed off him. Damn! If we had him on our team we'd be 11-0."
While Dick Davey loves all his players, there are a select few that are on an unprinted "toughest competitors" list. The names of Rambis, Kenilvort, Lamson, Nash, Garnett and Jones flow from Double D's lips. At the preseason luncheon with boosters, Davey introduced Niesen and put him on that list. In Broncoland, there is no higher praise.
Although there has been some interest from abroad, there is some doubt if Niesen will continue to play after this year. After all, basketball does not define him and one could see him moving on to the next chapter.
"I'd like to get into law enforcement next year and have checked out the Santa Clara PD. It's a great department and they're extremely selective. It would be awesome."
Take pity on the criminals. Turn yourselves in now because you WILL be caught.

Thomas Hitzlsperger believes gay footballers are living in fear of the repercussions they could face in coming out during their playing careers.
The 31-year-old former Germany, Aston Villa and Stuttgart midfielder announced on Wednesday that he is gay, having chosen to wait until the end of his playing career before going public with his news.
He becomes the highest-profile openly gay footballer the game has known, and hopes his move can persuade other closeted players to be open about their sexuality.
But Hitzlsperger, who also played for Everton and Lazio before retiring in September, accepts any player revealing his homosexuality in professional football could have a hard time.
There are many openly gay players in the women's game, including England captain Casey Stoney, but none active at a high level in men's football.
Hitzlsperger wrote on his website: "I have taken a conscious decision to confront publicly the prejudice and hostility shown towards homosexuals. I have nothing to be ashamed of.
"Homosexuality is simply ignored in football.
"The media, on the other hand, have been interested in the subject for years. It's just that the players concerned have not dared to declare their inclinations because the world of football still sees itself to some extent as a macho environment.
"The image of a gay player is typified by cliche and prejudice. The reality is rather different.
"People see a gay footballer as a contradiction in terms. And that is why virtually no professional player wants to expose himself to this kind of pressure."
Hitzlsperger initially came out in an interview with Germany's Die Zeit newspaper.
British Olympic diver Tom Daley announced in December he was in a relationship with a man while Surrey and England wicketkeeper Steven Davies, former Wales and British and Irish Lions captain Gareth Thomas and NBA player John Amaechi have all come out in recent years.
Hitzlsperger said: "Over the past year, a few professional athletes in other sporting disciplines have revealed their homosexuality.
"This is encouraging and the hope is that at some stage, it will cease to be something to write or talk about.
"Every human being should be able to live without fear of discrimination due to his or her background, skin colour, sexual orientation or religion.
"I do not see this as a political statement, but as a self-evident fact. I do hope, however, to take the public debate a step further. Our society is more open and tolerant than many people believe.
"By taking this step in public, I hope to be able to encourage young players and professional athletes. I firmly believe that professional sport and homosexuality are not mutually exclusive."
Amaechi, who came out in 2007, took to Twitter to welcome Hitzlsperger to "the club".
But Amaechi later told BBC Sport: "Football is toxic and not just for gay people - it's toxic for Asians who want to play the game, it's toxic for women who want to be executives, it's toxic for black people who want to do anything but play.
"But football doesn't see itself like that. It sees itself as this amazing, wonderful, bold and progressive organisation.
"Footballers coming out at the highest level will happen only as the product of a cultural change within the game. It will not be the precursor to cultural change.
"If you want to see people coming out and playing at their best because they're able to be who they are, then the culture of football must change first."

This conversation with Professor em. Erhard Schlesier took place on May 30, 2008 at his home in Göttingen.
Born in 1926 in Chemnitz in what later became East Germany, Professor Schlesier tells us about how his education came to a halt when he was drafted as a 17-year-old. He was 19 years old when he was released from captivity and decided to stay in the West. Lack of intellectual stimulus led him to do the university entrance qualification and to enter university; after reading a book by Diedrich Westermann, he "catches fire" and takes up the study of Völkerkunde in Göttingen in 1948. Studying under Spannaus and Plischke, he first studies Africa, later changes to Oceania. Outside the main lectures, he reads the British Social Anthropologists as well as Thurnwald and Mühlmann, later also Jensen, all of whom influence him in his later work. His academic career leads him from Göttingen to Hamburg and back again before he leaves for his first fieldtrip to Normanby Island in Papua New Guinea.

Too hot to do pretty much everything.. except maybe for a day at sea! : )
Last Saturday we spent a lovely day visiting the castle of Duino, with its beautiful gardens and the magnificent view on the northern adriatic coast. The whole area is also interesting from the historical viewpoint, since it is possible to see not only the beautiful inner rooms of the palace, but also the underground bunker built by Nazi soldiers during World War II.
After leaving the castle, we followed the Rilke trail to the beach of Sistiana.
Despite the fact my bf and me have been together for more than 4 years, and that we definitely live not far from the seaside, this was our very first day at the beach together, can you believe it? : )
There were so many flowers (and a friendly kitten too)
And the whole trail is just amazing - one of the places I loved most as a child, it was great to come back!
And after a bath in the sea..
..what a better way to end the day than homecooked clams and salmon? : )
Hope you had a lovely weekend! : )
Big hugs,
Edit: welcome to the new followers and whoa! I just realized this is my n.200 post! Time has gone by sooo fast : )

The CCRI Lady Knight's women's soccer team traveled to Springfield, MA this past Saturday to take on the Rams of Springfield Technical Community College for a Region XXI non-conference game. The Lady Knights defeated the Rams 6-0. With the victory the Lady Knights improve to 6-4-1 overall and 3-0 in Region XXI play.
The Lady Knights began to dominate the Rams right from the start of the match pinning Springfield in their own half of the field. But, the Lady Knights could not convert on the many opportunities that they created. However, in the 20th minute of play, freshman Selena Canales (Cranston, RI) gave CCRI their first goal of the day after taking a pass from freshman Stepheny Perez (Providence, RI). Just two minutes later sophomore midfielder Melissa Richards (Coventry, RI) scored off of a corner kick on a rare two assist play with Stepheny Perez and sophomore Jen Kittila (Warwick, RI) picking-up the assists on the play. Six minutes later in the 28th minute, freshman forward Carla Porras (Narragansett, RI) scored on yet another assist from Perez, her third assist of the half. Perez sent Porras in all alone on a breakaway for the Lady Knights third goal of the half.
Up 3-0 at the half, CCRI continued their onslaught on the Rams as Selena Canales connected on her second goal of the afternoon on a pass from Carla Porras giving the Lady Knights a commanding 4-0 lead. Just three minutes later Canales and Porras combined again for CCRI making the score 5-0, as Canales picked up her third goal of the match. The Lady Knights continued to dominate the Rams with numerous scoring opportunities. With ten minutes left in the match, sophomore midfielder Jen Kittila scored an unassisted goal on a Springfield turnover giving CCRI a 6-0 advantage and that's how it would end.
For the day, Selena Canales tallied at hat trick with three goals on the day while Carla Porras picked up a goal and two assists. Stepheny Perez recorded three assists and Jen Kittila had a goal and an assist. Sophomore and Tri-Captain goalkeeper Alex Place (East Greenwich, RI) recorded her second consecutive shutout victory, her third on the season.
The Lady Knights next two matches will be in Rochester, NY next weekend as they take on two nationally ranked powers: On Saturday at 1:00pm the Lady Knights face No. 4 ranked (NJCAA Division I poll) Navarro College from Texas and on Sunday at 12noon they will face No. 5 ranked and District rival Monroe Community College.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.
