Today's blog post is written by AAA Executive Director, Dr. Edward Liebow (email@example.com).
The US government's partial shut-down has ended, and anthropologists here in the States have some work to do. The federal government activities that were put on hold over the past 16 days furloughed employees, delayed federal benefits, shuttered museums and national parks, interrupted research, put cultural resources at risk, and created economic hardships in many communities. During this partial-shutdown, the AAA office issued blog posts with updates about the shutdown, invited members to tell their stories about how they were affected; we made visits to Capitol Hill where we talked about short- and long-term effects on issues of central interest to anthropologists, and we made contingency plans to refund affected federal workers after the official annual meeting refund date.
The agreement reached last night funds the government through January 15, suspends the debt limit until February 7, and calls for formal negotiations to determine a long-term budget plan by December 13. In other words, unless Congress and the President can work out a lasting plan, the US could find itself back in this same position again in just a few months.
I may be new to Washington, but not to policy-making. I hope that from my new front-row seat, I am able to watch the country's elected leaders put the public interest first and find an enduring budget solution that embodies a long-term commitment to promoting environmental sustainability, education and research, health and social justice, while protecting cultural resources and human rights. This is the commitment the public deserves.
Some have speculated that last night's legislative outcomes will further compel the current administration's political opponents to renew their full frontal attacks on affordable health care for all, and on such pressing long-term structural issues as immigration reform, global environmental change, and the unevenly distributed problems in crumbling public infrastructure.
For anthropologists in the US, the immediate task ahead is to make sure that this new round of budget negotiations does not become the forum for airing petty grievances about public support for social science education and research. This affects classroom enrollments. It affects museum attendance. Also affected is the growth of knowledge by which we advance human understanding, and apply this understanding to tackling the world's most pressing problems. We simply cannot let that happen. I'd like to encourage our US members to make their feelings known to their elected representatives about the importance of anthropologists' work.

I had the best intentions today. I really did.
I was going to take you thru the process of making one of our family favourite cookies.
All was going well until my camera came out and then...the unthinkable happened.
I left out a key ingredient and by the time I realised what happened, it was too late.
The first batch was in the oven and I forgot to add the flour....ooops.
Let me start over again. We have a fantastic cookie recipe,
'Phoebe's Fabulous Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies'. My daughters love the TV show 'Friends'.
So much so that one Christmas I bought them the cookbook, 'Cooking with Friends'
and it has been a favourite recipe ever since.
This is a first for me, trying to multi-task with a camera and a counter full of baking supplies.
All was going well up to this point. I added my last drop of Equagold Pure Vanilla...
the Pacific Tahitian Variety from our days in New Zealand and then started thinking
of my daughter in Christchurch. This could have been where I went off track.
I was whipping and stirring the batter...thinking of the next step.
The recipe calls for raisins but we like dried cranberries.
Another favourite is dried apricots.
I wanted to show you my Exopat Matfer baking sheet.
Everything tastes better when I cook on this....well almost.
I think this is when I lost the plot. I popped the cookie dough on the sheet
with a slight hesitation as something seemed amiss. By the time I realised that I had
forgotten to add the flour it was to late and I just had to go with the flow.
Things looked a little promising here...
but not here!
Truth be told, they were not bad. If you like a thin cookie,
that is crispy and loaded with sugar and butter than
skip the flour in this recipe!
I managed to save the next few batches...
this is what it should look like!
As I write, each and everyone has been devoured..not by me :)
Yum Yum!!
If you are feeling in the mood for a little comfort baking.
Try this recipe.
Just don't forget the flour!
A little Phoebe humour for you....
Okay. We haven't known each other for that long a time.
And there are three things you should know about me.
One, my friends are the most important thing in my life.
Two, I never lie.
And three, I make the best oatmeal-raisin cookies in the world.
Okay, Thanks Phoebs. Why haven't I tasted these before?
Well. I don't make them a lot.
Because I don't think it is fair to the other cookies.

Building Influence for the School Librarian
Linworth Pub., 1994 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 184 pages
Strong librarians are essential to all current educational reform efforts. This book helps librarians identify and take the actions necessary to gain power, not as an end in itself, but so that their schools reach the highest level of academic achievement. Through self-assessment exercises and discussions of a school's culture, the reader is led to new awareness of the attributes of influential people, and then to constructive, realistic ways to influence students, teachers, and community members. [A former administrator himself, the author emphasizes the importance of a strong relationship with the principal.]

I haven't read the book, but the idea of Gary Hartzell teaching people how to interact with kids flips my stomach. I attended high school at Mira Costa under his administration. He was cruel. He was the enemy. He threatened so many of us with expulsion. He may or may not be a good man, but he was a tyrant of an adiministrator.

KINGSTON, R.I. – With both signal callers less than 100 percent physically, University of New Hampshire football coach Sean McDonnell wasn't sure who as going to start Saturday's game against Rhode Island, saying only that both would probably play.
He didn't say anything, however, about both being on the field the field at the same time.
The Wildcats ran a handful of plays during their 40-20 win with Sean Goldrich and Andy Vailas in the lineup together to take advantage of their athleticism and versatility, and give the defense something else to think about.
"The great thing about it is that our kids believe in both of them," McDonnell said. "So they feel very comfortable and we've got a package where you can do different things."
Goldrich did get the start -- his second in a row after missing five games with a shoulder injury – and Vailas made his first appearance on the fourth play of the Wildcats' first possession.
Vailas ran for an apparent 14-yard touchdown on his first touch, but the play was called back because of a penalty.
Goldrich and Vailas made their first appearance together on UNH's next drive with the Wildcats at the Rhode Island 12.
Vailas faked a handoff to Goldrich on first down, then gained 8 yards on a keeper to the Rhody 4. Chris Setian scored the Wildcats' first touchdown three plays later, putting UNH ahead to stay, 9-6.
"The offensive line, I thought, played great all game," Setian said, "and as you can see we've got two great quarterbacks that can run the offense without skipping a beat."
After the Rams sliced a 26-6 deficit to 26-13 on their first possession of the second half, Goldrich and Vailas collaborated on an appropriate response.
Jared Allison returned the ensuing kickoff to the UNH 48. Goldrich ran the first two plays, including a 21-yard completion to Joey Orlando.
Vailas took over for the next two, hitting Justin Mello for completions of 8 and 19 yards, the second one going for a touchdown and a 33-13 UNH lead.
"I thought the way we responded was exactly what we needed," Setian said.
For the game Goldrich completed 17 of 27 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball six times for 24 yards.
Vailas was the Wildcats' second leading rusher with 52 yards on seven attempts, including a long of 29 that proved to be one of the key plays in UNH's second TD drive.
That score was set up when Goldrich took a pitch from Vailas and hit Jimmy Giansante for an 18-yard gain to the Rhode Island 11.
Nice Steriti scored on the next play to give the Wildcats a 16-6 lead early in the second quarter.
Goldrich then ran the two-minute offense to near perfection as UNH marched 71 yards for a touchdown and a 26-6 lead with seven seconds left in the first half.
The TD came on a 9-yard pass from Goldrich to Setian.
Goldrich and Vailas combined for 282 yards passing, 76 rushing and three touchdowns.
"Both those kids can throw the football," McDonnell said, "so you feel good about it. You've got to take advantage of guys on offense who can do some things with the ball and both those guys can, not just throwing but they can run it as well."
Dontra Peters had an interesting game.
The senior cornerback forced a fumble that was recovered by the Wildcats and intercepted a pass in the end zone, with both turnovers leading to scores.
Peters also tried to return a blocked field goal attempt by Rhode Island, but fumbled the ball back to the Rams.
The set up a 12-yard touchdown pass from Bob Bentsen to Brandon Johnson-Farrell two plays later, giving the Rams their first and only lead, 6-3.
"He got a little anxious when we blocked a field goal on their first drive," McDonnell said. "He tried to make something happen. We've talked to people about letting the ball roll when it's on the other side of the line of scrimmage. He thought he could do something with it."
It didn't take Peters long to make amends, however.
The Rams drove from their 14 to the UNH 11 on their next possession when Peters picked off a pass in the end zone on second down.
The converted running back's team-high fourth interception led to the Wildcats' second touchdown.
"He redeemed himself," McDonnell said. "He didn't lose sight of the quarterback. He stayed on his guy and made a nice pick. That was huge. It kept them off the scoreboard."
After playing six of their first nine games on the road, the Wildcats will play their final two games at home, beginning with William & Mary next Saturday.
The Tribe has been traditionally tough on UNH, and is the last team to beat UNH at Cowell Stadium.
The Wildcats are 21-1 in their last 22 home games, with the lone loss a 13-3 setback to William & Mary on Nov. 6, 2010.
They've won nine straight at home since that loss. The Tribe is coming off a 24-10 loss to Maine on Saturday that dropped their record to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the Colonial Athletic Association.
UNH currently leads the CAA with a 5-1 league mark.
"We've got to really focus this week," McDonnell said, "and get back to doing what we do. Playing at home will be big. William & Mary is the last team to beat us at home. We have to practice well this week and get ready for a team that I think could be 6-2 or could be 7-1 if they had gotten some breaks early in the season. So we've got to be ready to go. This will be a big week for us."

LOS ANGELES - Impressionist Fred Travalena, a regular in Vegas showrooms and on late-night talk shows with his takes on presidents, crooners and screen stars, has died, his publicist said Monday. He was 66.
Travalena died Sunday at his home in the Encino area after a recurrence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which had first surfaced in 2002, publicist Roger Neal said.
Travalena was known for the sheer volume of celebrities he imitated, leading to the nicknames "The Man of a Thousand Voices" and "Mr. Everybody."
His act included presidents from Kennedy to Obama, musicians from Frank Sinatra to Bruce Springsteen and actors from Marlon Brando to Tom Cruise.
Travalena started his career in Las Vegas in 1971, and for years was an opening act, supporting such stars as Wayne Newton, Shirley Maclaine, Johnny Mathis, Don Rickles and Julie Andrews.
Finally, he gained headliner status in 2001 at the Stardust Resort and Casino, and joked that he was "an overnight sensation after 30 years in the business."
A 1987 TV special, "The Many Faces of Fred Travalena," was nominated for an ACE award for best cable comedy special.

When Sunday dawned, the Lions held the NFC North lead. By Monday night, they were holding their heads.
And their own throats.
The Lions became the Lions. It's like the Canucks becoming the Canucks. The Cubs in shoulder pads.
The Lions' implosion is the feel-good story of the Bears season --- no worse than second behind Shea McClellin's injuring Aaron Rodgers.
McClellin's sack of Rodgers was a shocking spasm of quality play. The Lions, though, remain among the most predictable and enjoyable chokers Chicago could want.
They're dirty and stupid, and now they're in third place. The laugh-out-loud Lions were must-see TV. Again.
Calvin Johnson dropped passes. Matthew Stafford made horrible throws. The Lions were unprepared to win the biggest game of their season at home. Your work here is done, Jim Schwartz.
Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker booted a 61-yard field goal in the final minute to give the Ravens the lead Monday night. Stafford threw an interception on the next play to give the Ravens the win. So Lions.
Turnovers. Penalties. December gagging. Who would've guessed the Lions would devolve into that?
Besides everyone, I mean.
"You can't trust the Detroit Lions because of games like this,'' ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer said. "It was all there for them, and they threw up on themselves.''
All of a sudden, the Bears control the NFC North. If they win out against the Eagles in Philadelphia and the Packers at home, they win the division and cop the third seed in the playoffs.
They probably would face a team with a better record in the wild-card game, but then, a wild-card game didn't seem like a possibility after losses in Minnesota and St. Louis a couple weeks ago, especially after Marc Trestman ordered the field-goal try on second down in overtime against the Vikings.
Speaking of Trestman, and why not, speaking of Jay Cutler, too, they are the focal points of a surprising dream scenario.
Since Trestman left Cutler to stupidly hobble around in a loss to Detroit that cost the quarterback a month of games, the Lions have choked four of their last five. The Bears survived a dubious decision. Football karma is as much a fairytale as "Bear weather.''
So now, the Bears will need a ton of points the rest of the way. There's no chance the Bears defense holds LeSean McCoy to less than 800 yards Sunday night, and there's little chance the Bears reinjure the returning Rodgers the following Sunday, a game that also probably will be flexed to a prime-time slot.
So the Bears will need points. The Bears will need Trestman to stay as hot as Cutler said he was in Cleveland on Sunday. They need the fourth-quarter Cutler, not the mess that threw up on himself the first 25 minutes, to steal a phrase.
It will be on Trestman and Cutler. They can't go all Schwartz and Stafford now.

Is there an easy way to overload operators/functions in Emacs Lisp?
I'd like to overload + to handle custom-defined data types, other than "normal" numerics.
What I'd like to do is write a procedure that checks the types of the arguments, and if they're my custom-defined types, then perform the custom defined operations I define, and otherwise return handling to the "normal" implementation of +.

Arizona's utility regulators just showed that you really can't take anything for granted these days.
The Arizona Corporation Commission voted Thursday to charge a small monthly fee to customers of the state's largest utility who are using rooftop solar panels -- leaving the door open for similar fights pitting power companies against solar-energy proponents in other states.
The charge of 70 cents a month per kilowatt, or about $5 for a typical rooftop solar customer, will be effective Jan. 1.
"Overall, [it is] negative for the solar companies exposed to residential/commercial market," analysts at RBC Capital Markets said in a note to clients late Thursday.
That includes SolarCity Corp. , which had shares down 1.7% on Friday. Shares of SunPower Corp. were down 2.5%.
The companies, however, have advanced 363% and 494% so far this year. Analysts are mostly positive about the sector, seeing strong demand for the solar systems they sell or install. Global demand for solar power is seen at about 46 gigawatts in 2014 and 53 gigawatts in 2015, up from 36.8 gigawatts this year, analysts at Baird Equity Research have said.
Arizona Public Service Co., a unit of Pinnacle West Capital Corp. , said in a statement the decision will "spread the cost of maintaining a reliable electrical grid more fairly among all APS customers."
That's the heart of the issue for utilities. As rooftop solar panels become cheaper and more common worldwide, some utilities have said they place an unfair burden on companies and non-solar customers when it comes to maintaining the power grid in good shape.
The fee was expected to be much larger, between $50 to $100. In its statement, APS said the new charge "addresses only a portion of the cost shift," but that it recognizes the issue.
Proponents of solar energy also claimed a victory.
"APS launched an unprecedented campaign spending millions of dollars to destroy the rooftop solar industry and they failed," Bryan Miller, president of The Alliance for Solar Choice and vice president of public policy for solar company Sunrun, Inc., was quoted as saying in this Associated Press article. "This will allow our market to continue to grow."
Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Co. , has asked state regulators to look into a fee for renewable energy users beginning next year.

How To Make Shirley Temple & Roy Rogers Cocktails
These two non-alcoholic beverages have stood the test of time and have been enjoyed by children for the past several decades. They're named after two Hollywood stars that were loved worldwide during a more simpler, innocent time and are a hit to serve during weddings, holiday festivities and other special occasions.
Not only are they popular with the kiddos, adults enjoy serving them too since you don't need to be an experienced mixologist to whip them up or stock a bunch of fancy ingredients.
One cocktail (or mocktail since there's no alcohol) for the boys and one for the girls, ingredients are very simple: ginger ale (or 7-up), cola, orange juice, grenadine syrup, maraschino cherries and slices of lime, lemon or orange. Pour over a glass full of ice, top with fruit slices and the kiddos will feel very grown-up indeed. Here's how to make them…
Shirley Temple:
1 cup (8 oz) Ginger Ale, or 7-up or Sprite
1 1/2 TBS grenadine syrup
1 TBS orange juice
lemon, lime or orange slice (for garnish)
1 maraschino cherry on top
Directions: Fill glass with ice, add grenadine syrup, orange juice, then top with ginger ale, 7-up or Sprite. Garnish with a slice of orange (or lemon, lime) and top with a maraschino cherry.
Optional: Some versions have one maraschino cherry at bottom of glass, fill with ingredients then top with another cherry.
Roy Rogers:
This is very similar to the beverage above, but this time you swap the ginger ale with cola, skip the orange juice and citrus slice.
1 cup (8 oz) cola
1 1/2 TBS grenadine syrup
1 maraschino cherry
Directions: Fill glass with ice, add grenadine syrup then top with cola. Add a maraschino cherry on top and serve to your favorite 'lil cowboy.
Note: There are no hard and fast rules for making these cocktails, use the above as a guideline and increase or decrease the ingredient amounts as the child prefers. Some may want it with no orange juice or with a slice of lemon for garnish. These are a treat for kids so why not make them just as they like :).

My favorite character in the book was Percy Jackson, because he was brave and strong. Percy treated everyone nicely. Percy had cool powers. For example, Percy could create a hurricane underneath his feet, and it could also deflect any weapons. Percy is cool because he could breath underwater (he was the son of Poseidon) and get his clothes wet if he wants to or not get his clothes wet. He also saved a Pegasus from the Princess Andromeda. The Pegasus' name was Blackjack. Percy has a golden ballpoint pen. When he uncaps it Riptide grows three feet long. It is made of pure celestial bronze. I think Percy Jackson is cool because, if Riptide is out and far away from Percy it appears back in his pocket.
I liked this book because there were lots of adventures. I also liked this book because there are cool types of fighting's. Another reason why I like the book is because Percy goes underground, and when he yells the River Styx forms a huge tidal wave and blows Hades' army and makes them dissolve into the water. The battle at the end occurs in Mt. Olympus. Mt. Olympus is located on top of the Empire state building, although no mortal can see it.
You should read this book because Rick Riordan takes you on a cool adventure. These are the type of books that can take you on a breath taking adventure, mischief, comedy, and a bit of sadness. I would highly recommend it. Don't forget though, you have to read books 1-4 first.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Annette P.
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
By: Annette Parker
I will never forget the day that my head felt like it was about to explode after five minutes of exercise. It was an unusual day in Charlotte, North Carolina where 12 inches of snow fell to the ground. Due to the inclement weather policy that my employer had in place it was okay to not report to work when conditions could result in personal injury. I called out from work that day and decided to utilize that time by exercising. I put in one of my work out DVD's and picked up my hand weights and began to vigorously put in some much needed work.
Now that it has been about 3 years since the stroke and I'm now able to articulate what happened to me clearly and I now realize that I had some symptoms days prior to the Stroke. Three days before as I sat my desk at work I had a sudden headache that resulted in a "white out" of my vision for a few seconds. The headache was sharp and painful but subsided very quickly so I thought nothing of it. On the way home that day I began to feel dizzy as I drove home and prayed all the while driving. The weekend went on uneventful; however that Monday was the day that a congenital heart defect called a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) was going to cause an Ischemic stroke on the right side of my brain. The patent foramen ovale is an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) of the heart that allowed un-oxygenated blood to flow between two chambers of the heart. Based on my understanding that during exercise the clot was able to dislodge from my heart chambers and travel to the brain and cause the ischemic stroke. After the exercise I had to use the restroom and suddenly during that time It felt as if I was hit on the right side of my head with a brick! I could only imagine that is what a brick would feel like when it strikes the side of your head. Instantly my face twisted towards the left and I began to drool on myself. I thought what in the world is going on with my mouth, my face, my head! I thought dear lord is this my last day on earth?? I knew I had to get rid of the pain and tried to get up from the toilet but began to fall to the ground. I pushed myself back up and tried to run to my kitchen cabinet but then realized that my left leg was dragging behind me!! I proceeded on to the kitchen with my left leg in tow. I again thought oh my I'm going to die today!!! I never had a chance to open the Tylenol in my hand and began to scream to the top of my lungs " My head!! My head!! My Nephew was lying on my living room couch and heard my cry. I began to fall again to the floor in my family room screaming as loud as I could. My voice sounded strange to me right then I thought "I'm having a stroke". My nephew and son came in and decided that they needed to call 911. The look on my Nephews face as he looked at me was one I will never forget as long as I live. He was really concerned and nervous for his Aunty! I believe I blacked out for a moment because the Emergency personnel frightened me when they all of a sudden appeared in front of me. Within 30 minutes of my stroke I was at Presbyterian Hospital Emergency Room in Charlotte, North Carolina. I spent 5 days in the hospital with 4 being in ICU. I went through Angioplasty to repair the PFO and on the finally home for a long six months of therapies and recovery. I still struggle with the residual effects of the stroke such as Depression, Aphasia, short term memory loss as well as numbness on my left side. My face, arm torso and legs are very numb often times where it inhibits my ability to ambulate up and down stairs. I have my good and bad days but I'm a survivor!!

Sabres extend Scott
Buffalo, NY – The Buffalo Sabres have signed forward John Scott to a one-year contract extension.
Scott joined the Sabres as a free agent last July and did not register a point in 34 games while accumulating 69 penalty minutes.
The 30-year-old Edmonton native has 305 minutes in penalties to go along with a goal and four assists in 180 NHL games over five seasons with the Sabres, Rangers, Blackhawks and Wild.

On Friday, Coach Charlie Lembo slumped against the wall in the dugout as if his team had lost, while his players celebrated the 6-4 victory over New Britain.
He shook his head when reporters asked him about his team's five-game winning streak. This isn't the sort of reaction one would expect from a varsity coach with an 11-2 record, but Lembo knows that it's going to get harder as the Knights approach the postseason.
"I'm happy with the record," he said. "I'm happy with our wins and losses, but I'm really not satisfied with the way we're playing right now. I really don't think we've reached our potential yet."
Lembo points to a late start against Simsbury in a 4-2 victory that started the week. He points to the two errors during his team's 5-1 win over East Catholic, but his biggest worry is the inconsistency of the offense.
It it wasn't for a pair of timely home runs, the Knights would have had trouble against East Catholic. Then, they scored five runs in the first inning against New Britain and almost watched that lead slip away.
"We're getting runs, but we're still not getting that consistency," he said. "The nice thing is that it seems to be somebody different stepping up each game. If we can get all nine guys in the lineup to swing their bats well at the same time, it's going to be a pretty good game."
On Monday, the Knights needed a late rally to steal a win against Simsbury. On the mound, Joe Rivera scattered 10 strikeouts with just five hits over a seven-inning complete game, but Southing-ton still trailed, 2-1, in the top of the sixth inning.
The Knights rallied for runs in three of the last four innings. Brett Susi set the stage with a two-out single in the top of the fourth inning, and he came around to score on hits by Justin Rose and Dave Palladino.
Brett Shaw scored Rose and Palladino with a two run double in the sixth inning, and Ted Shaw (3-for-4) gave the Knights an insurance run in their final at bat.
Two days later, the Knights were opportunistic again. Trailing 1-0 in the third inning, Matt DiNello answered with a three run homerun. Matt Sirois added a solo homer in the sixth inning, and Susi did the rest.
Susi surrendered a run in the first inning but countered with seven strikeouts and four hits over six scoreless innings to get the win.
"We're not going to survive very long playing this way," said Lembo. "Brett Susi pitched a great game. We were lucky that Matty DiNello got that big three-run homer. That made the difference."
On Friday, Southington continued to struggle at the plate. The Knights scored five times before New Britain was able to secure their second out, but Southington only managed to score one more time the rest of the way.
The Hurricanes clawed back with eight hits and just four strikeouts against Andrew Goralski, but the senior hurler managed to secure the win. DiNello (2-for-3) was the only Knight to secure two hits in the game, including a leadoff triple in the third inning that resulted in Southington's final run.
"I give their pitcher credit because he actually got more effective as the game went on," said Lembo. "Andrew didn't have his best stuff today, but he gutted it out. That's why I kept him in there. I want our pitchers to not want to come out of a game. I want that competitiveness, and he showed it in the last couple of innings. We just stopped hitting after those early runs."
Will the trend continue? Will the Knights find their rhythm at the plate? With games against Newington (7-6), Conard (9-4), and NW Catholic (11-3) this week, Lembo is sure to find out.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's soccer team opened the 2011 campaign, Friday night, with a hard-fought contest against Sun Belt foe Arkansas State. Regulation wasn't enough in an exciting first night of the season, as the Lady Bisons and Red Wolves played 110 minutes before coming away with a 1-1 draw.
Junior Megan McGuire put Lipscomb on the board early, putting home a penalty kick in the games' fifth minute to give the Lady Bisons an early lead. The goal was the fourth of McGuire's career, tying her with Andie Thornton for most among active Lady Bisons.
Arkansas State would counter later in the first half, with Jessica Jingblad taking an Ashley McMurtry entry pass and beating Lipscomb keeper Erin Zerio for the equalizer.
It was Zerio's only blemish of the evening; she saved the other five shots the Red Wolves put on net, giving the junior netminder 148 career stops.
The Red Wolves Bethany Kremer was stellar in her own right following McGuire's penalty kick, stymieing the Lady Bisons attack and making four subsequent saves.
After averaging just over eight shots per contest in 2010, the Lady Bisons assaulted the net from the opening whistle to begin 2011. Junior Kameron Stilwell took a team-high four shots, and senior Kirsten Heikkinen, junior Danielle Bethke and freshman Karli Crosby each added two more shot attempts on the evening.
The unrelenting attack was a welcome sight for an offense that has often sputtered in the past, but was not without its own hiccups in the opener.
The Lady Bisons were called for offsides on nine occasions, something that head coach Jon Ireland will certainly keep an eye on in the coming games.
In the waning moments of regulation, Zerio made the save of the game on a Megan Mace header that looked to have her fooled. Reaching behind her, Zerio just managed to keep the ball out of the net and preserve the tie.
In addition to both keepers, five position players went the full 110-minute time in this one, including Lipscomb's Heikkinen, sophomore Stephanie Romero and freshman Brittany Rupple.
After a day of rest, the Lady Bisons will be back in action, Sunday, when they host Central Arkansas in a 1 p.m. match. This game will also be contested on the training field behind Cofer's Chapel Church while a lighting renovation project is being completed on the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.

ask them to appear in your photo's!
the first pic I made still is amazing. dust , vapor or bugs... it still amazed me!
this photo was taken on the same spot where the most "orbs" seem to appear.

About Custom Photo Labels — Iconic Halloween
Many photo styles are wordless, so you say it all with the picture you choose to put on it. Choose a sweet and tiny sticker to seal your envelope flap, to ID your books and other possessions—dishes and serving utensils taken to a potluck, etc.—to put onto your toddler's toys that go to a playgroup, to make a toast to the honored guest at a birthday party, shower, wedding, anniversary, retirement, memorial, etc., or create a tiny photo label to put on stem glasses or drink cups. This makes for an especially meaningful toast. When it's all said and done, it's the photo that says it all.

Several football seasons ago I came to know Shane Davis.
It was before he became head coach at Apalachee High School. At the time, Davis was still building his resume as an assistant coach and he worked for a stretch at a high school in my hometown.
Davis was part of a strong coaching staff back during those seasons in the 1990s at that Middle Georgia school. Those teams, and coaches, are still talked about fondly back in my hometown to this day. In fact, the hometown program really hasn't been on par since that group of coaches moved on.
When Davis was hired at AHS a decade ago, I was not covering the program as I worked at another area newspaper. However, I clearly recall thinking the Wildcats had hired a sound coach, and just as important, a sound person. After a season of adjustment, Davis quickly made his impact felt within the football program at AHS. His teams went to the playoffs four consecutive seasons with the highlight being an undefeated regular season and region championship in 2009. That year's team advanced to the third round of the playoffs, hosting all three games.

The Marion County High School volleyball team kicked off their season last week with three scrimmages, two against Green County and Casey County on Tuesday of last week and the other against Bardstown on Thursday. When asked about his team's play in the scrimmages, Head Coach David Hibbard said that both scrimmages gave him the chance to see what some of his younger players have and how the team would respond to adversity.

In fact, these are the strongest gardening tools we offer, with a strength rating far in excess of the British standard (which specifies that digging tools bear at least 121 lb of force at the end of the handle, and border tools bear 88 lb, without breakage). Though robust, they are not indestructible, so we do not recommend them for uprooting saplings or prying boulders.
The shaft is American white ash with a traditional wood/steel combination D-handle grip. The digging tools are perfect for heavy digging, double digging, ground preparation and harvesting. The border tools are smaller, making them more suited to lighter digging or for gardeners with less strength. The rabbiting spade, with its narrow curved blade, permits digging and transplanting in close quarters without disturbing surrounding plants. Although originally used for opening up rabbit holes when a hunter's ferret (used for flushing out the rabbits) went astray, this style of spade makes a much better gardening tool. All the spades are treaded for comfortable digging.
Overall lengths, weights and head sizes are shown in the chart. All are built to last a lifetime.

Defensive lineman Chris Canty has gotten an offer from the Titans since his release from the Giants, but he's not ready to stop looking for a new team to call his own.
Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports that Canty will visit with the Packers and Jaguars after the combine comes to a close. The Packers had a lot of interest in Canty when he was a free agent after the 2008 season, but he wound up signing with the Giants instead of waiting on an offer from Green Bay. Things are working a bit differently this time, which might be an advantage of being able to look for jobs while those waiting for free agency have to refrain — publicly, at least — from exploring new opportunities.
The Jaguars have defensive lineman Terrance Knighton and George Selvie heading toward free agency and need to do a better job at both rushing the passer and stopping the run next season. Canty can fit in a variety of roles up front and would likely play tackle for Jacksonville while filling an end spot if he wound up in Green Bay.
Because General Manager Dave Gettleman worked for the Giants, there was some thought the Panthers would also be interested in Canty. As of now, though, we only know that he's heard from Carolina players.

British Go Journal No. 66. November 1985 Page 18.
Richard Granville describes his visit to Japan for the World Amateur Go Championships.
My first involvement with the WAGC arose in February, when Terry Stacey phoned me to say he was unavailable to play. Having myself come seventh in the previous British Championship, I was wondering If the next four players would also be indisposed, but it turned out that Jim Bates could accept. However a few weeks later I learned that I had been selected by the European Go Federation to be "Guest Official for the European Zone".
Despite the short notice, I managed to make arrangements to stay for three weeks in all. Like Francis Roads, who performed a similar role in 1982, my report of what happened is in diary format.
Saturday May 18th. Arrive at Narita Airport at 16.00, having left home at 8.30 the previous day. Together with three of the European players, I proceed to Tokyo by train, where we are staying at the Tokyo Hilton International. Registration takes place later that evening.
Sunday 19th. Not a lot happens on this day, and I take the opportunity to play some Go. The first official event of the WAGC is "orientation", which basically means an informal welcome and instructions for the opening ceremony. In the evening I manage to join the directors of the International Go Federation for a meal at the Nihon Ki-ln (the headquarters of the Japanese Go Federation).
Monday May 20th. The IGF general meeting takes place from 10.00 to 12.30. This is fairly uneventful, but Belgium, Luxemburg and Chinese Taipei are elected as new members. In the afternoon there is a "Press Conference" (at which only a small number of participants are involved).
This is followed by a friendly match, in which I was ineligible to play. After this, a very formal opening ceremony occupied the early evening. The draw for the first round is made. It produces some very bad mismatches and few interesting games.
Tuesday May 21st. The first day of play. I am asked to assist Tom Goodey with the draw, since it becomes apparent that few Japanese understand the Swiss system. We decide that it would be bad for the tournament if the draw was completely random. The five contenders to win (Japan, China, Korea, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei) need to play some games against each other in the early rounds, since it is ordained that the first three must play each other in the final three rounds (regardless of previous results). We also aim to compensate for the unsuitable first-round draw and avoid gross mis-matches where possible. Apart from these constraints, the draw is to be random.
There are no major upsets in the first two rounds. Jim Bates loses to Hasibeder (6 dan) of Austria, but has a good result, beating Cheong (5 dan) of Singapore. In the only clash between the top players, China beats Chinese Taipei - an expatriot mainland player who himself represented China in a previous year. In the evening a group of us are invited to a meal with Otake and Honda Sachiko.
Wednesday May 2nd. In round 3 China beats Hong Kong in what turns out to be the final of the WAGC. Chinese Taipei is knocked out of the running by losing to Korea, while Japan loses to Hong Kong. Only China and Korea are therefore undefeated. Jim Bates beats Siivola (2 dan) of Finland in the morning, but loses to Pocsai (4 dan) from Hungary in the afternoon. In the evening we are invited to play Go at Kobayashi Chizu's Go Salon.
Thursday May 23rd. China beats Japan and finishes the day on 6/6. Jim beats Arnold (2 dan) from Sweden, but loses to Chinese Taipei.
Friday May 24th. The final round, and China beats Korea to win with 7/7 - necessary since Hong Kong finished with 6/7 and a better Sum of Opponents Score. Jim also wins his final game, against Schoffel (4 dan) of Germany to finish 12th with 4/7. The closing ceremony is kept short, as is the farewell party afterward. Once it is over, we are invited to the Tengen Go club where we play until about 22.00.
Saturday May 25th. The Nihon Ki-in has arranged a free trip to Sapporo, and most of the participants decide to come along. We leave the hotel by coach at 7.45 and are taken to Haneda airport, whence we fly to Sapporo. Several hours are spent touring the city, including the ski jump built for the 1972 Winter Olympics. In the evening there is a reception, after which some of us visit a local Go club.
Sunday May 26th. After breakfast at the hotel we take part in a "Friendship Match" against a local team. This Is my first (and only) chance to play Go in an official event during my trip. Fortunately I've managed to get some practice during the previous week and win both of my games fairly comfortably. Jim also wins two games, contributing to a 38-23 victory over the home side.
The match finishes at about three in the afternoon, and five of us decide to do some more sightseeing. We walk to the Hokkaido Shrine (set in a very pleasant park), and catch the subway to the Sapporo beer garden where we sample the local brew.
Monday May 27th. Breakfast at the hotel, then coach to Chitose airport. Most of the party are returning to Tokyo, since this represents the end of the official WAGC activities. But 14 of us have accepted an invitation from the Kansai Ki-in to spend up to five days in Osaka. For this I am supposed to act as team leader. I have already had to liaise between the participants and the Nihon Kiln to set up the visit.
Fortunately everything goes smoothly, and we arrive in Osaka at about 2 p.m. We are met and driven to the Kansai Ki-in where professionals play against us 2 or 3 at a time. I lose comfortably to Inoue (5 dan) on 4 stones. After a short game commentary we are taken out for dinner, and get back to our hotel at about 9.30. Most of the rooms are Japanese style; the hotel also has communal baths which most of us use in the following nights.
Tuesday May 28th. Sightseeing in Nara for the morning and early afternoon. We return to Osaka and play a friendly match at a Go salon which also provides us with a meal. Again I win both games, but my second victory is only due to my 5 dan opponent running out of time.
May 29-31. Mostly more sightseeing. There is also time for many games of Go, including a tournament to decide who should receive a present of a Go set from the Go salon. Jim and I are unfortunately eliminated in the first round. Some of our party depart during this time.
Saturday June 1st. All those remaining in the party leave Osaka today, the end of the organised trip. I take the Shinkansen to Nagoya where I meet Kazuyoshi Hayashi, who shares my interest in computer Go.
June 2-6. During this time I see some of the sights in and around Nagoya, and play some Go against both programs and people (without much success, in the later case).
June 7-8. Leave Nagoya at 2.30 p.m. and catch Shinkansen to Tokyo. Long flight back, eventually arriving home at 1.30 next day.
One of the most notable features of my visit was the lavish hospitality at every stage. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the WAGC sponsors (JAL and the Nihon Ki-in), and all the people who were involved in my trip.

STOCKTON - Loved ones gathered at a busy Stockton intersection Wednesday evening to share stories, shed tears and light candles in memory of Drew Underwood, a 17-year-old boy who died early Tuesday when his best friend crashed his car into a tree.
STOCKTON - Loved ones gathered at a busy Stockton intersection Wednesday evening to share stories, shed tears and light candles in memory of Drew Underwood, a 17-year-old boy who died early Tuesday when his best friend crashed his car into a tree.
"He was very charismatic," said Debbie Underwood, the boy's adoptive mother. "He had charm. Everybody loved him."
Authorities said Wednesday they believe excessive speed and alcohol may have played a role in the deadly accident, which occurred shortly before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday on North Pershing Avenue. Underwood, an aspiring musician who attended Stagg High School and Jane Fredrick Continuation High School, was sitting in the back of a gray Honda that hit a tree with such force that the car was sheared in two, witnesses said.
Three other people were injured, including Underwood's girlfriend, Diana Di, a 21-year-old San Joaquin Delta College student who remained in a coma Wednesday with collapsed lungs and broken ribs, relatives said.
"We heard Drew was ejected and Diana crawled to him," said Di's cousin Arleen Vath.
Officer Joseph Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department, said it could be days or weeks before authorities determine whether to charge the driver with a crime.
"The preliminary investigation indicates that speed may have been a factor and alcohol may have possibly been involved, but we're still waiting on a toxicology report," Silva said. "Our traffic investigators are going over the measurements and witness statements to determine exactly what happened."
Under California law, the driver of the vehicle could be charged with vehicular manslaughter if authorities determine he was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"Alcohol is a substance that alters the way people perceive things," Silva said. "When you drink and drive and incorporate speeding on top of that, there can be both dangerous and deadly consequences."
Vath said her family just wants to know what caused the crash.
"All we want is the truth and closure for the families," she said. "If Diana could talk, she would tell us what happened."
Underwood's parents said they don't want to see criminal charges filed against the driver, whose name has not been released by authorities.
"They were best friends," said Dale Underwood, the victim's adoptive father. "If one was drinking, they were probably all drinking. They're just kids. They're going to make mistakes, but (the driver) didn't mean to do that."
Debbie Underwood agreed.
"We don't want to see anything happen to him," she said. "We love him like a son. This was just a tragic, tragic accident."

On Jan. 1, 2017, Vermonters will begin the "transition" away from the property tax to the income tax as a way to pay for our schools. The income sensitivity program that applies to two-thirds of Vermont households will be phased out and the revenue raised for our schools will come from a blend of property tax payments and the income tax.
You're in good company.
The House Education Committee's bill to eliminate approximately 80 percent of Vermont's school districts by consolidating their number from 273 to about 50 has been the subject of considerable debate in recent weeks in the Statehouse, in the education community, and in the press.

BRIDPORT — The Addison Central Supervisory Union is asking the state to credit the town of Bridport for $12,139 in excess education property taxes the community paid this academic year.
VERGENNES — Property owners in Ferrisburgh, Vergennes and Addison will see their property tax bills go down this year, thanks largely due to lower school rates.
Homeowners are due to get bills with decreases ranging from about 4.7 cents in Ferrisburgh to 9.1 cents in Addison. Non-residential taxpayers in those three communities are also looking at lower tax bills, with decreases ranging from 1.5 cents in Vergennes to 6.3 cents in Addison.

May 11, 2011
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA -Two members of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth women's lacrosse team and the team itself have earned All-Little East Conference honors.
Sophomore defender Selina Houghton (Billerica, MA/Shawsheen HS) was named first team All-Conference, and LEC Defensive Player of the Year, while junior defender Casey Otovic (Wilmington, MA/Bishop Fenwick HS) was named second team All-Conference. The Corsairs also received the LEC's Sportsmanship Award.
Houghton scored four goals and added two assists for six points, and led UMass Dartmouth with 65 ground balls and 24 caused turnovers. Otovic was second in both categories with 52 ground balls and 23 caused turnovers. Houghton led the LEC with 4.06 ground balls per game and was second with 1.50 caused turnovers per game, while Otovic was tied for third with 1.44 caused turnovers per game.
"When Selina came to us as a freshman recruit, I knew that she was special," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jerry Jennings. "After learning our system, she has improved very much, and she richly deserves this honor. Selina is our first Defensive Player of the Year, and we're very proud of this accomplishment, and feel that she has even better things ahead of her. Casey is another outstanding defensive player. We changed the way she played a little bit this year, and she responded well. Earning All-Conference honors is a great tribute to the learning curve that she has accomplished."
Jennings was pleased that his team was honored. "The Sportsmanship Award is an honor to receive from the other teams in the conference," said Jennings. "We will accept this award with great humility, in the spirit that such awards were given."
Even though UMD finished sixth in the LEC, Jennings said that his team acquitted themselves well. "We lost a lot of close contests that didn't go our way," said Jennings. "I remain very proud of our team because they were always ready to go, and never let down. When you consider that we have 6 a.m. workouts, and everyone was there, you have to really love a team like this that's ready to make that commitment. We're going into next season with a lot of pride, and hope to turn the close games to our advantage."

A Pavlik harness is a splint that is often used to treat
developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in babies
younger than 6 months. The harness has fabric straps and fasteners that fit
around a baby's chest, shoulders, and legs. The harness holds the baby's legs
in a spread position, with the hips bent so that the thighs are out to the
sides. This keeps the head of the thighbone (femur) in the correct position in
the hip socket for normal development. The harness also allows the baby to move
the hip joint, which helps the thighbone to deepen the hip socket.
The Pavlik harness successfully makes the hip
normal about 90% of the time.footnote 1 The harness is usually
worn all the time for the first few weeks of treatment. The child may be able to be out of the harness
for an hour or so each
day for bathing and for the harness to be cleaned. Later, the child may need to wear
the harness only at night or during naps. If the femoral head stays properly
located in the hip socket and the hip joint is stable, the child is slowly
"weaned" from the harness. The child may need to wear the harness for several
Because babies grow rapidly, the straps and fasteners may
need to be adjusted every 1 to 2 weeks. If the harness is improperly
positioned, bone or nerve damage can develop. The straps can irritate the
baby's skin.
The harness fails to correct DDH about 10% of the
time. In these cases, the harness is removed if the hips show no improvement
after 3 to 4 weeks and other treatment options are explored.footnote 1

|Chicken wings baked with a Ponzu Lime Mojo marinade that brings a wonderful spicy, sweet, savory, citrus tang to average wings.
Ponzu Lime Mojo WingsOne more for the wing collection and then I'm going to {try} to take off from blogging to get ready for and enjoy the Super Bowl! {okay, I might try to squeeze in just one more recipe...} If you're still on the hunt for some Super Bowl party food ideas, you can pick some great menu ideas right here. They are all mine, all tried and true, and all right here on this site. Check 'em out!
The Kikkoman website had a few suggested recipes, but I wanted to try to do something a little different and since it was almost Super Bowl Sunday, wings popped into my mind. Wings are a favorite football appetizer for me so I'm always up for any new wing recipe but had to get creative to utilize this new lime infused soy based sauce. The first thing that came to my mind was to do a mojo inspired wing and this is the recipe that resulted.
I am happy to say that I was thrilled with this wing recipe. It has a wonderful spicy, sweet, savory, citrus tang to it and the sauce reduction is just incredible, so be sure to reserve about a cup of the marinade before you place the chicken in it to reduce on the stovetop and use as a sauce.
I highly recommend using Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Aluminum Foil when preparing wings in the oven.
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Ponzu Lime Mojo Wings©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 10 min
Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 4-1/2 pound package of chicken wings
- 1 cup of olive oil
- 1 package of Good Seasons dry Italian dressing mix
- 1-1/2 cups of orange juice
- 1/4 cup of Kikkoman Ponzu Lime sauce
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 3 cloves of garlic, smashed
- Juice of one lemon
- Juice of one lime
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), to taste, optional
Cut the tips off of wings and separate, if desired. Place wings in a zipper bag. Whisk together all of remaining ingredients, except the salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning, and once combined, pull out one cup of the marinade to set aside. Pour the remaining marinade over the wings. Seal the bag, and mush it all together; refrigerate for one hour, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove wings from marinade and place in a single layer on an aluminum foil covered baking sheet. Sprinkle the wings with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Bake on the lower rack of the oven at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a boil on the stovetop; reduce to a medium simmer and allow to reduce until thickened. Remove wings, turn the oven up to 425 degrees, and brush the wings with the reserved, cooked marinade. Turn and brush the other side and return to oven to the middle rack. Bake at 425 degrees for another 30 to 40 minutes, or until done, turning and brushing with the marinade several times. Total cooking time will be dependent on the size and thickness of the wings.
Serve with the marinade reduction as a dipping sauce.
