Everth thrilled with All-Star experience
Padres shortstop doesn't appear in National League's loss
NEW YORK -- Everth Cabrera accomplished a goal just by being selected to the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field. But on Tuesday night, the Padres shortstop was one of three National League position players who did not appear in the team's 3-0 loss to the American League, along with Braves catcher Brian McCann and Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro.
But while Cabrera may not be leaving New York with stats, he is leaving with memories.
Cabrera also left with an armful of souvenirs, including the nameplate from his locker and the sign bearing his name from Monday's media session, covered in autographs.
The speedy switch-hitter was the Padres' lone selection to the All-Star Game, handpicked by NL manager Bruce Bochy of the Giants because of his stellar first half. Cabrera currently leads the league with 34 stolen bases, has a .291 batting average and a .984 fielding percentage to boot.
This season has been a huge improvement over 2012, when Cabrera lead the league in stolen bases but had limited success elsewhere. He hit just .246 with a .648 OPS in the 115 games he played.
Despite the less than stellar year, Cabrera told friends and family at home in Nicaragua last offseason that he would be an All-Star this year. He spent his winter working on his defense and hitting from both sides of the plate, and became the first Padres position player to make the All-Star Game since Adrian Gonzalez in 2010 and the first shortstop since Tony Fernandez in 1992.

Another marching band season has come and gone- and thus explains one of the reasons I have been remiss in posting here...
The Columbine Rebel Marching Band finished its season yesterday up in Fort Collins at CSU; they competed in the state quarter-finals and though they had the best performance of their year, they didn't make it to the semi-finals. No one was disappointed though. They have a largely young band and so they really did well overall.
This year was especially fun for me, since both girls were in it together for this one and only year. Chloe entered Columbine this fall as a freshman and Heidi is a senior, off to college next year. Both girls have been really involved in music since their school days at Toniata, in Brockville, Ontario.
Heidi started in marching band playing the flute. She played flute for the remainder of the year in band class. In her sophomore year, she played mellophone (the marching version of the French horn) in marching band, then went back to flute for band class. Last year, her junior year, Heidi played mellophone in marching band, but switched to tuba for band class. This year, she marched with the sousaphone (the marching version of the tuba) and will play tuba for band class. From the smallest instrument to the biggest! Heidi is so tiny- just a little over 5'2" and 100 lbs- carrying an instrument that is half her weight!
She had a little solo in the show this year where she played and danced around a little- it was a huge crowd pleaser!
I'm a little sad that she is done with it all. Marching band really saved her when we moved here. She knew no one, had to start high school all alone- but joining marching band gave her a community, friends, and instant belonging. It's been great.
Here are some photos of Heidi:
Chloe has been active in music too, since moving here. At Normandy Elementary, Chloe played clarinet, tried her hand at oboe, and also was a member of the bell choir, which was very cool.
At Ken Caryl Middle School, she started off on clarinet, but switched to French horn soon after. She seems to like playing French horn, so maybe she will stay with that...
This is the first Saturday that the girls haven't given up the whole day for either a band practice or competition since the beginning of August. And they were forced to get up mid-morning to help with leaf raking and cleaning.... ahhh, gotta love autumn!

Creating and nurturing a new life is an experience worth living as it includes all the beautiful memories of one's precious child and a feeling of contentment unlike any other life event can offer. Most of the couples conceive their first baby during the initial year of their marriage, yet there are many who are not as lucky. Trying for a baby with constant failures can be a depressing and exhausting process that drains at physical, emotional and mental levels. The pain of not being able to bear a child can get intolerable with time however seeking help from a good infertility doctor in Navsari could be of great help. It is a well-established fact that IVF cost in Navsari is considered to be high but with a little research and analysis done at your part, you always have the option to reach out the best IVF doctors in Navsari at a reasonable price. Noticeably, the IVF cost in Navsari varies widely between Rs.90162.6 to Rs.200097.7 for high-end IVF centres. The cost of the treatment varies from clinic to clinic. The FTC calculator on Elawoman website is a one reliable way to have a general idea about the IVF cost in Navsari. The calculator uses an algorithm to give nearly accurate calculations of the cost concerning different types of infertility treatments. It provides an estimation ranging from high, good to fair cost treatment that one can pick from depending on their budget.
Female Infertility: Ovulation is a major process in a female's reproductive years; any disorder in it can make it irregular or completely stop it occurring on a regular basis. This irregularity can easily interfere with conception. You can find out about your particular case after visiting an IVF centre in Navsari, to see what the possible cause behind irregular ovulation is, because absence of ovulation is a major cause behind female infertility. One most common reason that affects ovulation is PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). This condition occurs due to an unhealthy lifestyle. It causes a major hormonal imbalance in body to give rise to obesity and rise in male hormones. Eggs do not mature in time leading to primary ovarian insufficiency. Here, there is a disturbance in the production of vital hormones responsible for ovulation like LH and FSH that is due to high stress and obesity. This is another reason behind infertility apart from lack of estrogen hormone. According to the IVF centres in Navsari, extreme amount of prolactin hormone from pituitary gland can reduce the production of estrogen causing infertility. In such a scenario where hormonal balance goes for a toss resulting in some serious issues, IVF is an effective way to look for a solution. You can begin with researching online where some of the online portals provide every single information right from cost of IVF treatment in Navsari to the procedure and total time taken for a cycle. No doubts with an ever-advancing ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) field, there are a number of infertility treatments introduced to curb down infertility in women. You can consult with your doctor and decide upon a treatment for you at the most suitable IVF cost in Navsari.
Many women have endometriosis, a condition where the uterine lining starts to grow uncontrollably and even grows out of the uterus only to spread across the pelvic region. In severe cases, surgery is also performed which can result into scarring of fallopian tubes or uterus. Scarring in uterus and fallopian tubes produce blockage which poses hurdles in the way of sperms to reach out to egg which lies in the fallopian tubes. There are various other reasons when a woman can experience blockage in her fallopian tubes. Pelvic inflammatory diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhea or other such diseases can cause fallopian tubes to develop infection resulting into blockage. Infertility that is caused by such reasons can be treated with the help of IVF treatment. If you too have a similar concern then start looking for the best IVF doctors and do a thorough research on IVF cost in Navsari before planning an appointment.
Male Infertility: Male infertility can be attributed to physical, hormonal or psychological issues that a man may counter. Infertility in men can usually arise due to low sperm quality and quantity. If a man has Oligozoospermia then it means that he has low sperm concentration. In case of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, it is clear that sperms show low motility and abnormal shape while if someone is said to be having Azoospermia, he does not produce sperms at all. Lifestyle, exposure to toxins or excessive stress, use of anabolic steroids or low testosterone can be counted as some of the reasons contributing to infertility in men. Conditions like Varicocele, retrograde ejaculation, inflammation of the epididymis or testicles, sexually transmitted diseases, spinal issues, diabetes or previous surgeries in the organs like prostrate, bladder or urethra, and radiation therapy in treating cancer can form a reason in developing infertility in a man. Apart from IVF cost in Navsari, treatment cost of such diseases and disorders should also be considered and calculated on a priority basis to avoid inconvenience at later stages.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a technology where sperms and eggs fertilize outside of the fallopian tubes under controlled conditions, subsequently the embryo is transferred back to the uterus for the development of the baby. Couples or individuals can opt for IVF treatment in Navsari at reasonable prices suffering from above mentioned fertility disorders where due to any reason natural conception becomes impossible.
Other than the medical history and health records of patients, cost of IVF treatment in Navsari depends on several factors including the experience of the fertility doctor, complexity of the couple's case as well as utilization of donated sperms, eggs or embryos. The requirement of additional treatments such as ICSI treatment and Assisted hatching procedure along with IVF also adds to the cost. Money could be a constraint for some because the treatment may seemingly appear to be out of budget. IVF cost in Navsari can be significantly managed by getting the most suitable IVF package as per the personal needs.
It may sound right opposite to what the general notion about IVF goes yet the prices of IVF treatment in Navsari are revised and updated so that couples with different treatment budgets can easily apply for the treatment. Moreover, couples can also opt for Ela medical loan as an easy financial support. IVF cost in Navsari depends upon different factors like the specific type of treatment, oral medication and injections. It also depends on the type of fertility issue that may require certain additional treatments.
Cost of IVF Treatment in Navsari may vary according to the level of medical intervention, medication involved in it. It is also highly dependent on the doctor performing the treatment like their past record, success rate and patients experience. The kind of facilities provided at the time of procedure like and grade and cost of medications acts as some decisive factors.
Other than its standard form, an IVF cycle is further classified as Natural and Minimal. This classification marks the different kinds of methodologies followed in each of the case:
The success rate of IVF treatment in Navsari is around 70%. The success rates of best IVF treatment in Navsari depends on several factors including stimulation protocol utilized by the fertility doctor, advanced medical technology at the hospital as well as features of andrology and IVF lab. All of these features together, determine the IVF cost in Navsari that can vary greatly with changes in these factors. Therefore, it is evident that location, success rate, facilities including laboratory, and equipment used play an important role in IVF success. Last but not the least, experience of the IVF doctor and embryologist holds a lot of importance in predicting the success of an IVF cycle.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is an ART (Assisted Reproduction Technology) procedure that treats infertility. It is one of the most advanced forms of artificial fertilization where eggs are extracted out of uterus after which they are left with sperms for fertilization process that happens under specific conditions of temperature and light giving it a name Test Tube Baby. Once fertilized into embryos, these are again put back into uterus for implantation and as pregnancy is awaited. Not to forget that the immense advancement in ART has led to generation of certain new techniques that add the much-needed support to IVF treatment. This is under conditions where a normal IVF cycle would face difficulties in succeeding. Following are the additional treatments that are performed with IVF in case of selective conditions or to even enhance the success rate:
Apart from providing quality IVF treatments in Navsari, Elawoman also offers guaranteed IVF package. This package assures the birth of a live baby within three IVF cycles. In a highly unlikely event, if it fails to deliver as promised, a certain amount charged as the fee of the treatment is returned back to the patient as per the policy. This is an advantage exclusive to Ela that you can get any time of the year. Keeping in mind, the high IVF cost in Navsari, and the risks associated with it, such packages can prove to be quite a relief.
Go through the table below to have a detailed and clear idea about the Test Tube Baby costs in Navsari depending upon the success rates of the treatment rated as high, good and fair.
A medical Loan is a loan that can be availed for a medical expense or any medical emergency for which you are not prepared at the moment. Even for those who find it hard to arrange money for IVF treatment at the right time (as IVF success rates also depend on the age of the couple), it is a smart decision to get a loan for bearing IVF cost in Navsari. You can get it sanctioned in a short period of time and it can be used for various medical purposes unlike a medical health insurance that usually do not cover infertility treatments. Moreover, the medical loan provided at Ela comes at zero percent interest rate, which makes it a preferred choice over any other type of financial aid. Although, one has no control over the cost of IVF treatments but such supportive features do help a lot in dealing with high IVF cost in Navsari in a comfortable way.Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on the loans ranges from 0% to 10%. The repayment period ranges from 6 months to 3 years. For Example, Total cost of the loan on Rs. 100,000 loan amount is a maximum of Rs. 10,000 per year which includes all fees.
Ultimately, it is advised to do a personal research and accumulate complete information about not only the treatment procedure and its benefits but also the cost that it would incur so that it can be managed beforehand for a hassle free IVF treatment. To have thorough information about IVF procedures and the type of treatment best suited to your needs, go through Elawoman.com . Remember, a mind that is at peace contributes greatly to the success of In Vitro Fertilization.

The chicken hawks, mostly well-paid "soldiers of the sound bite," again are squawking for war. As mouthpieces for those who seek war's devastation and death as a viable foreign policy, they characterize dialogue and negotiation as capitulation or naiveté. The neocons' recurring calls for belligerence and military mobilization, from Libya to Iran to Syria to Ukraine, are oblivious to the failures already experienced in two costly Middle East wars this century. Beyond lives sacrificed, money spent on war further neglects and ignores our own citizens' needs at home.
These sunshine patriots, secure and out of harm's way, call again for others to offer the ultimate sacrifice while they remain safe and uninvolved. Ever ready to send others' sons and daughters to war, they too willingly risk our warriors' lives to sustain the "corporate military-industrial complex," the one President Eisenhower warned against as a dangerous threat to our political and economic security years after Ike personally witnessed the human cost that is war's legacy. More dollars reallocated into war corporatists' bloody hands enable the masters of war to profit from the world as a battleground, using others' lives and money as collateral.
Support our troops; bring them home. Then, demand diligence before sending them to war elsewhere.
— Michael Cannariato, Rockford

The MLB video war continues, quietly, even though we've kind of been actively ignoring one another for some time now. We received a lot of initial interest in our plan to take down the iron-fisted video regime, but then I guess it rained everywhere in America for two weeks and everyone's practice was canceled and some people decided that their kids probably shouldn't be on the internet, even if it is for a heroic cause. But Rick and his kids, J (four years old) and M (two years old), persevered. Rick, J, and M have reenacted for you both Robin Ventura's charge onto the mound after getting hit by a Nolan Ryan pitch, and the Ray Fosse and Pete Rose collision from the 1970 All-Star Game.
We hope that Rick and his adorable kids are going to send us some more current highlights in the next few weeks, but we're also still hoping to hear from others, toddlers and grown folks alike, who want to help us subvert MLB video. Send us video of your highlight reenactments, past or present, to email@example.com, subject "Team Deadspin." It can be as old as The Catch. It can be as fresh as Ryan Rayburn's assist. We look forward to hearing from you.

Did your second try get updated on the site? I already did it twice early during all the problems and do see two outstanding charges. I'll probably just wait and see how the system looks tomorrow, unless you saw a change.
Note: Other homebrewers who registered and also have not yet paid will be logging in to pay for their entries as well. If your selected judging region reaches capacity before you complete your payment, you will see a "capacity reached" message. If this happens, your entry will be reassigned to another region, and you will be notified about that region reassignment via a separate communication. From there, you will have the option to complete payment to register in that region, or you may opt not to do so. (In other words, participating in the reassigned region will remain optional.)
Fine, I'll jump on the bandwagon and pay again. I suppose it will be easier for Janis to issue a refund for one than to fix the mess if the system automatically deletes my entries tomorrow.
Don't worry about it. You "paid twice" but in the end you will only be charged once. There are a lot of problems being worked through, some people paid way more than twice because the system wasn't updating. If you have a receipt saying you paid, you paid. It will get worked out but it will take some time.
My wife pointed out that no one died today entering the NHC. At least that we know about.I was about to say "whatever" and it started to work. I can go to sleep, and tomorrow I have to clear what looks to be heavy snow. That may kill me!

UConn: Freshman Breanna Stewart returns for game against Syracuse
STORRS >> The third-ranked UConn women's basketball team could be hosting a Division III or NAIA team tomorrow afternoon and Breanna Stewart would be counting down the minutes until her return to game action.
However, the fact that it is her hometown Syracuse University team bringing its gaudy 15-1 mark into the XL Center for the 4 p.m. Big East matinee makes it all the more sweeter for the hot-shot freshman.
Stewart was sidelined for less than a week after spraining her left ankle but being forced to miss two games, the ultra-competitive Stewart was not loving life.
"I was in the training room and I wasn't too happy. I swore I asked Rosemary (Ragle), our trainer, about 10 times a day, if I could play," Stewart said.
Stewart was boxing out on a rebounding drill the day before UConn was set to play at Marquette when she stepped on teammate Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis' foot and rolled her left ankle.
"Marquette, it was kind of (assumed) because it was the next day," Stewart said. "I kind of knew by the size of the ankle that I probably wouldn't be playing but it was disappointing knowing I couldn't play against Louisville. I was upset and frustrated because I felt like I could play on it but by how it looked ... When they touched it, obviously it hurt but they didn't feel like I was ready yet."
Stewart returned to practice on Thursday and went through drills again on Friday without restriction so the 6-foot-4 Syracuse native is expected to see a normal allotment of playing time.
"She looked great today," UConn junior center Stefanie Dolson said. "She got healthy a lot quicker than we all expected and I am proud to see she is on the court already."
It wasn't only her teammates that thought Stewart looked to be close to 100 percent during practice.
"There doesn't seem to be any lingering aftereffects," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "I am sure it is sore, no question about that but with yesterday and today they wasn't any indication she was favoring it at all. She went back and did all the things she was doing before."
At the time of Stewart's injury, she was struggling on the offensive end. She was 13 of 38 from the field in the last four games she played in. She certainly seemed to be pressing in a loss to Notre Dame, missing 12 of her 17 shots.
The inactivity could be a benefit for Stewart as it gave her some time to take a step back and relax.
"That was the one thing I was taking out of not being able to practice was really trying to refocus myself, regroup and come back out Thursday and having a really strong practice and getting ready for this weekend," Stewart said.
Stewart, who was named the consensus national high school player of the year following her senior season at Cicero-North Syracuse (N.Y.) High, estimated that between 15-20 members of her friends and family will be making the trip down for the game.
Considering the number of Syracuse women's games she attended when she was growing up, it will be a homecoming even if the game is being played in Hartford.
"Usually we wouldn't play the same night they would play so we would go because it is not too busy, not a ton of people there but you are still watching good basketball," Stewart said.
"Some people wanted me to go to Syracuse but I think they understood my reasons why I came to Connecticut and they supported me for the most part. I always kept Syracuse in the back of my mind because I am from there. I got along with Coach Q (Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman) and the other coaches really well but I wanted to get out of Syracuse and go somewhere new."

The point of this post isn't to complain or ask for a BibleWorks app for Android (or iOS), but to let people know about a different means to access BW while you're on the go, if you have an Android device. Google recently released their Chrome Remote Desktop app (see an article on it here), and while there are other remote desktop methods of accessing your home PC, I had never used any of them before. This one was pretty simple to use though. It requires you to download the app to your phone and install an app to your copy of Google Chrome on your home PC. You then have to enable your PC for remote connections and you're good to go. No reboots even!
Granted the actual use of BibleWorks in this scenario is far from ideal, but it does work as it normally does on your PC. It's just much smaller. Although if you have a tablet Android rather than a phone, I suppose it might be more tolerable.

We could all use a good self-audit on our passwords—bank accounts, credit cards, e-mails, social networks—but is it better to just let a password manager handle all of our passwords instead? Or should we still cook up a different password for each account on our own? What do you guys do?
People swear by password manager services like 1password or Lastpass but I'm not yet convinced I want to go through all the work of figuring it out. I'm hoping there might be a better solution, at least one that strikes a nice balance between ease of use and security. I don't know. Do you guys have any suggestions? And if you do use password managers, which password manager do you prefer?

In our Behind the Scenes series, CNN correspondents share their experiences in covering news and analyze the stories behind the events. CNN's Jill Dougherty attended a cocktail party Tuesday attended by Hillary Clinton supporters.
A woman tears up as Sen. Hillary Clinton addresses the Democratic National Convention Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The TV is blasting, there's guacamole and chicken wings, red wine and beer, five TV monitors and a lot of cheering. Sen. Hillary Clinton is speaking at the convention and these women, most in their 20s and several who proudly describe themselves as feminists, are listening.
The cocktail party at a downtown bar in Washington brings together the Women's Caucuses of Virginia, Maryland Young Democrats, Womens' Information Network, and D.C. political activists.
They are toasting the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, passed on this date 88 years ago, which gave women the right to vote.
It's also a chance to say goodbye with like-minded friends to Clinton's presidential bid.
"If [Republican Sen. John] McCain is president the next eight years, definitely the Supreme Court could shift again and not in our favor as young women," said Atima Omara, a tall African-American woman with a blinding smile, who welcomed the group of about 50 women.
"I definitely wish that, you know, on women's equality day we could be like 'Rah rah, Go Hillary Clinton!' but that didn't happen," she tells me. "And so I accept that and I move forward with Barack Obama because, looking at the two records on women's rights and just all the issues I care about, there is just no comparison between McCain and Obama." Watch Hillary Clinton encourage her supporters to back Obama »
Erin Hanna, president of the D.C. chapter of NOW, the National Organization for Women, admits, "I was and still am a Hillary supporter."
She called Tuesday "bittersweet."
But like most of the women in this room, she's not looking back. She tells me it's "discouraging" that some Clinton supporters might switch to McCain or even sit this election out.
"I understand how many women feel. I am devastated to this day, especially today being the 88th anniversary of women's right to vote. I would love for that nominee to be Hillary Clinton," she said. "But I have to swallow that pride and make the decision that is best for women's policies."
In another part of the room, Colleen Crinion and Bethiny Stark, both "hardcore Hillary supporters," as Bethiny puts it, don't mince words.
"If you believe in what Hillary Clinton believed in," Colleen says, punching every word, "You cannot vote for John McCain, because he doesn't stand for the same things she stood for."
Bethiny is even more emphatic. "I think it is irresponsible to vote any other way, OK. I mean -- stop acting like petty children, OK. It is bigger than that! Yes, I would have loved to have Hillary to get the nomination.... We need to look at the big picture and look at what is important than our own personal issues."
Sitting at the main table, Mary Melchior is still angry about how she says the media treated Clinton.
"As a longtime feminist," she says, "I got very angry at the way Hillary was treated in the press and it made me feel like I needed to strike out for women and vote for Hillary."
Now, Melchior is supporting Obama.
Clinton is at the podium, in a bright orange pantsuit. The women watching break out in raucous laughter when she thanks her supporters and "my sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits."
But there are some tears, too. Andrea Johnson, a strong Obama supporter, says she couldn't help but be touched by Clinton's speech. "Yeah, I mean this is a big moment. This is history. There's no doubt. I have been a Barack supporter since 2006. But I've always been amazed to see Hillary do what she has done," she said.
I ask Kathleen Lam whether she thinks a woman will ever be U.S. president.
"I think Hillary Clinton's candidacy, and especially going as far as she has, has really opened a lot of doors and minds to the possibility of a female president," Lam said.
The Democratic women I talked with this night agree: There will be a woman president someday.
Just not this time.

The drums and keys half of LA-based rock duo Giant Drag, Micah Calabrese, has left the band. MTV.com reports that no reasons for his departure have yet been specified.
Calabrese's decision to quit Giant Drag leaves his former partner in pop-rocking crime, Annie Hardy, as "the writer and face of Giant Drag", in the words of their label. The group's MySpace page (link) currently lists the band's members as Hardy and "whoever else feels like doing it".
Apparently Giant Drag are working on new material. We figure it'll be as potty-mouthed as Hardy's little sweary spot on the last Deftones LP. Nice?

Contact: Sandy Connolly, Director of Communications
Office of Higher Education
(651) 259-3902
A ninth-grader whose geometry grade suddenly declines may now get an e-mail summons from their school counselor, asking them to stop by for a consultation. Such targeted and timely communications have become difficult in recent years as school counselors serve a growing number of students, but new technology is making it easier for counselors to keep track of student progress and help them plan for college.
A federal grant awarded to Minnesota has helped more than 130 schools adopt comprehensive online counseling software to help them serve students more efficiently. The new software and training is helping counselors and teachers track student progress, communicate with students and families and develop career, academic and postsecondary plans for every student.
"Counselors are called upon to help an increasing number of students make good academic choices and plan for postsecondary education," said Dave Metzen, director of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. "This kind of technology and training empowers counselors to manage and target their counseling work effectively to serve each student in a more customized way."
The federal grant of $735,000 was part of a $66 million federal College Access Challenge Grant awarded to states in late 2008 for strategies to improve college access particularly for low-income students. Each state had an opportunity to apply for the funds and nearly all states received a grant prorated to the state's population size. As the fiscal agent for the Minnesota grant, the Office of Higher Education identified counseling technology as one of three focus areas, with the majority of the funding designated to assist schools in adopting technologies to help counselors reach more students effectively with consistent information and guidance. Approximately $300,000 of the $735,000 Minnesota grant was designated to help schools purchase software and receive training for Naviance software, which Minnesota counselors identified as the most comprehensive product available.
Naviance is a national provider of planning and advising software systems for schools across the United States and in 60 countries. The software helps counselors consolidate and organize the information needed to work with students into one Web interface. It provides workflow tools for planning schedules, reviewing student progress, managing college applications and other activities. It incorporates sophisticated group e-mail features and data analysis tools that enable counselors to quickly identify students needing specific interventions and reach them with targeted messages. The career planning components of the software provide age-appropriate on-line assessments, features to help guide career exploration activities, as well as detailed multimedia career profiles, up-to-date wage data and more.
"Students from all regions of Minnesota are benefitting from this initiative," said Jim Bierma, lead counselor for Minneapolis Public Schools and president of the American School Counselors Association. "This grant will help our young people find careers that match their interests, skills and personality types. The students will then create a rigorous academic and postsecondary plan so they can reach their desired profession."
Participating schools are supported by ongoing regional training sessions and webinars conducted by Naviance staff to help counselors maximize their use of this new tool. In addition, the Minnesota Association for College Admission Counseling provides regional user group sessions for all Naviance users to improve their on-site management of the school counseling office as part of this statewide initiative.
The other two focus areas of the federal grant are counselor training and an informational outreach initiative to low-income students and families.
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education is a cabinet-level state agency providing students with financial aid programs and information to help them gain access to postsecondary education. The agency serves as the state's clearinghouse for data, research and analysis on postsecondary enrollment, financial aid, finance and trends.

MIND YOUR E'S and Q'S
Jaguar's E-PACE gives buyers another, very interesting option in the Audi Q3-dominated segment for premium-badged compact SUVs. Jonathan Crouch looks at what's on offer.Ten Second Review
Jaguar's E-PACE brings the company's brand values into the growing market for compact, lifestyle-orientated SUVs. Sporty cues are borrowed from the Coventry maker's F-TYPE sportscar and the proven underpinnings hail from the successful Range Rover Evoque. All the ingredients seem to be in place then, for a strong package.Background
Jaguar is getting serious about its SUVs. First there was the F-PACE, which now out-sells all the company's other models combined. That car targeted models like BMW's X3 and Audi's Q5. Now, we have the slightly smaller E-PACE, a five-seat compact SUV aimed at contenders in the class below, models like the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3. The name suggests this model to be electrically-powered: it's not. Battery propulsion is being left to the I-PACE model that'll go on sale later in 2018. The E-PACE is the first Jaguar model to be built outside of the UK (at Magna Steyr's plant in Graz, Austria); the I-PACE will be built there too. The E-PACE is also the first Jaguar since the old X-TYPE to be available with front wheel drive.Driving Experience
Under the skin, the E-PACE shares most of its engineering with the Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport but has a longer wheelbase stretched to 2,681mm. That said, the Coventry brand is keen to emphasise that this case has very much a Jaguar feel. It's certainly far more of a driver's car than its Solihull cousins thanks to things like 'Configurable Dynamics' technology that lets drivers personalise throttle, steering and transmission settings, plus the 'Active Driveline' and torque vectoring set-ups are supposed to combine to make this front-driven model fell more like a more involving rear-driven product. Buyers get a choice of either front or four wheel drive and choose from a range of 2.0-litre Ingenium four cylinder petrol or diesel engines mated to either manual or nine-speed auto gearboxes. Most will be selecting one of the diesel, available in 150PS, 180PS or 240PS outputs. There's also a pair of petrol turbo engines with 249PS or 300PS. Green pump-fuelled E-PACE derivatives only come with auto transmission and AWD. The pokiest 300PS petrol E-PACE variant will get from 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds. All models get a 'JaguarDrive Control' system that gives owners a choice of four selectable driving modes - 'Normal', 'Dynamic', 'ECO' and 'Rain, Ice & Snow'. The optional 'Active Driveline' AWD system can transfer traction to the rear axle in a fraction of a second should a lack of grip demand it.Design and Build
The E-Pace is based on the same chassis used for the Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport. It's around 4.4m in length, so very similar in size to the Audi Q3 that many think will be its biggest rival. It's certainly a lower, sleeker design than that Ingolstadt model, with crisp surfacing, strong rear haunches and a sporty stance. There's nothing like the same level of aluminium in the body structure as you'll find in this model's F-PACE SUV stablemate, but this material does feature in the bonnet and side panels and this, plus lightweight suspension components, has helped to keep weight down to as little as 1,700kg. Inside, the cabin has more in common with Jaguar's F-TYPE sportscar than its F-PACE SUV cousin: there's a 360-degree grab handle for the passenger on the side of the centre console, just as in the F-TYPE, though the dash itself is arguably more futuristic. Instead of Jaguar's rising rotary gear selector, as on the F-PACE, there's a sports stick shifter. All models get a 10.2-inch centre-dash touchscreen for the infotainment system and there's the option of a 12.3-inch TFT digital instrument panel to replace conventional dials, plus you can also order a head-up display. The boot is a spacious 577-litres in size, thanks to the integral link suspension system chosen for the rear. That's also enabled the cargo floor to be low and the opening wide.Market and Model
There are four key models within the E-PACE range, 'S', 'SE', 'R-Dynamic' and 'HSE'. Prices start at £28,500 for the base 2.0 D150 'S' variant but you can pay nearly £50,000 for your E-PACE if you opt for the top petrol 'HSE' variant. Most models will probably be sold in the £33,000 to £38,000 bracket. As you'd expect, media connectivity is a strong point. There are up to four 12-volt charging points and five USB connections as well as a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices. And of course the E-PACE features the very latest safety and driver assistance technologies. A stereo camera underpins the advanced Emergency Braking system, which also provides pedestrian detection, and supports the Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Adaptive Speed Limiter and Driver Condition Monitor features. Front and Rear Parking Aids are standard on every variant. The camera also combines with the electric power assisted steering system to deliver a Blind Spot Assist function to help reduce the risk of sideswipe collisions on multi-lane roads. A Forward Traffic Detection system also warns drivers of approaching vehicles at junctions where visibility is restricted. Advanced active safety features include a pedestrian airbag, which deploys from beneath the trailing edge of the bonnet to enhance pedestrian protection in the event of a collision.Cost of Ownership
Because the weight of an E-PACE isn't much different from that of its larger F-PACE stablemate and many of the engines are shared, it's no surprise to find that the efficiency figures don't vary much between these two models either. A base E-PACE 2.0 D150 diesel 2WD manual model can manage 60.1mg on the combined cycle and 124g/km of CO2. Add in AWD and the figures will be 54.3mpg and 137g/km, whether you opt for this engine with 150 or 180PS. The petrol versions don't do too badly either. A 2.0 P250 AWD auto variant manages 36.7mpg and 174g/km of CO2. With the top P300 AWD auto, you're looking at 35.3mpg and 181g/km. A three year unlimited mileage warranty is standard with the E-PACE, although this can be extended with a number a couple of different plans that include a cover for an MOT test failure up to £750, as well as the normal cover for most electrical and mechanical systems. Service intervals are every two years/21,000 miles.Summary
It says much about the success that Jaguar has had with its F-PACE that few eyebrows will be raised at the thought of another SUV from the Coventry company. And this one promises to sell in even greater numbers, thanks to a slightly lower asking price and sportier looks. At first glance, it's tempting to pigeonhole this car as simply a smaller version of its F-PACE stablemate. In fact, it's quite a different product; less unique perhaps but still exactly what many potential buyers will be looking for in this segment.

Book Hunting
Thanks to many of you brilliant kidlit bloggers, I'm off to the library and bookstores tomorrow on a book hunt. I have been making notes of books reviewed and suggested on various blogs and I'm anxious to get out there choose a handful to incorporate into this year's Literacy Launchpad curriculum. The list I have is long, so I hope I can find most of the books on it. I'll let you know what my search uncovers, and which ones I choose. Feel free to throw more book suggestions at me in the comments. My students range in age from 2-5 yrs. old.

The MotionPlus peripheral for the Nintendo Wii may have launched on the second of this month, but who buys a $20 accessory just to look at? The real coming-out party for the hardware was yesterday, when EA released its newest version of Tiger Woods for the Wii. For $10 extra, the game comes bundled with the MotionPlus unit, and the spiffy new plastic sleeve that fits your existing Wiimote and the new hardware. While it's rare that Nintendo allows its hardware to hit shelves without an accompanying Nintendo release—Wii Sports Resort doesn't come out until next month—Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 serves quite nicely as a showcase title for the new peripheral.
|Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
|$49.99 Standard, $59.99 with MotionPlus Shop.ars
|Nintendo Wii
Simply moving through the menus and options of the game gives you a taste of how much work and effort went into making this year's release fit on the Wii, as the presentation is smooth and attractive. Don't worry about being overwhelmed by the myriad of game types and options and events available; it's best to simply take some time and explore the game, finding out how you like to play. Do you want to take part in a tournament? Simply play a few rounds by yourself? Invite a friend over? Ditch real golf altogether and play disc golf to show off your new hardware? All of this is available to you, and more: this is more of a suite of golf-type activities than any kind of structured game, making it an unholy time-sink for afternoons spent perfecting your swing.
That perfection is going to take time. The MotionPlus adds an extra layer of precision and complexity to your swing, meaning if you don't have control of your swing you're going to be stuck with a bad hook or slice shot. You don't need to swing for the fence; the best way to nail your shots is an even, measured swing. Pull back and watch Tiger do the same. Remember your follow-through.?
The game mirrors your actions in a very intuitive way, and once you understand what the MotionPlus demands, the game opens like a flower. Learn how to tilt your wrist correctly and you'll be urging the ball to gently fade or draw around trees. There is technique here, and while it may not mirror real golf, you also don't need to worry about hitting buttons or figuring out complex meters for your swings. Pick a club, take a look at where your ball needs to go, and hit it there.
While drives allow you to work on form, the real art in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is in the chip shots and putting. This is where you'll need to really feel what you're doing and take the power of your swing down a few notches to add some finesse. I'm not exactly sure how I know how to take 70 percent off the power of my swing, but after a few rounds, I do. You're able to play by feel and muscle memory. Putting is even better. There is a power and precision meter on the left-hand side of the screen, but it's safe to ignore. After an hour or so of practice you'll be playing by feel, and it's amazing how natural and intuitive the game becomes.
Not that you'll be nailing every putt—the game is still hard—but you'll know that it's your fault when you mess up, not the game's. Besides, long putts should be tricky; you'll have earned your celebration when you nail something that looks impossible for the birdie. Soon you'll be playing through the tournaments, taking your created character all the way to the top. You can also go online and play live tournaments against others, or take part in the "Play the Pros" feature. This takes the results from real professionals on the courses included in the game, recreates those conditions, and lets you play against their scores. It's not the same as actually playing against Tiger, but it's close, and it adds a nice spot of replayability, giving you a reason to constantly improve your game. The game can also sink its hooks into the Forecast Channel on the Wii, meaning that if you turn the feature on, you can play on the real courses with the real weather that those courses are experiencing at that moment.
The game is filled with clever options and added value. The All-Play difficulty allows anyone to try the game and compete, and the selection of party games is also a fun distraction from the sometimes-frustrating main game. Disc Golf is also a wonderful addition this year, and it really shows off what the MotionPlus can do. This mode will take some practice to master, but disc golf is available on all 27 courses, and it feels robust enough that it almost could have been its own game. The fact that it's included here as a side feature shows just how committed EA was to creating a sprawling, full-featured title.
If you're new to the game of golf, PGA Tour 10 will explain terms, rules and strategy to you. If you're new to the Wii, you'll be able to start with a number of helpful assists in the game, and then bring the difficulty up as you improve. There is a full career mode, online play that bypasses Nintendo's restrictive system with EA's online system—albeit still without voice chat—and a full selection of party games, multiplayer modes, and options to fine-tune the experience to play just how you want. Add this to the quality of the core gameplay with the MotionPlus and you have a game that's going to appeal to core gamers, casual players, sports fans, and early adopters. This isn't just a good sports game, this is a good Wii game. Considering that buying the bundle gets you $10 off the price of the MotionPlus, this is a great excuse to make your controller a little longer. You won't be sorry.
After playing the game on the Wii, with the new hardware, it's hard to think about going back to the 360 or PS3 versions of Tiger Woods. This is the definitive version.

I�ve never been a political consultant, but insulting specific groups of potential voters just doesn�t sound like good strategy.
In a recent panel discussion about the Supreme Court�s Hobby Lobby ruling, Fox News pundit Jesse Watters described certain women as �Beyonc� voters,� people whom he said choose government assistance over the kind of economic stability that comes with a traditional relationship.
The term is in reference to pop singer Beyonc� Knowles and her hit song �Single Ladies.�
�I call them �Beyonc� voters,� the single ladies,� Watters said. �Obama won the single ladies by 76 percent last time, and they make up about a quarter of the electorate. You know, they depend on the government because they�re not depending on their husbands. They need things like contraception, health care and they love to talk about equal pay.�
Here�s what we know: Single women will be a huge demographic in the next election cycle. Given this, it doesn�t seem smart to alienate such a large voting bloc. But that�s just my thinking.
Actually, we should hope more women morph into �Beyonc�s.� At last check, Beyonc� was richer than King Midas. A self-made billionaire, she has built an empire on the ultimate small business: her talent.
We also know that most single women, particularly single mothers, work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70.9 percent of young women with minor children work to support them.
In a perfect world, we all would live happily ever after. But what do you do when your life or relationship doesn�t turn out like a love song?
�Beyonc� voter� ignores the math. The BLS reports that 23 percent of single women up to age 23 have earned a bachelor�s degree or more, compared to 14 percent of their male counterparts.
Every election, it seems, a new demographic emerges as the one candidates need to pursue. They�ve included �soccer mom� and �Wal-Mart moms,� �NASCAR dads� and �gun-rack dads,� all complimentary descriptions, indicative of their clout at the polls.
�Beyonc� voters�? Not so much.
Describing certain women as such is a dog whistle designed to stoke simmering resentments over gender, class and race issues.
How do we know this?
Beyonc� grew up in an upper-middle class, traditional family that would make Mitt Romney proud. Like most musicians, she works extremely hard at her craft and didn�t have a child until long after she was married.
Yet, it�s clear these attributes aren�t what Watters was referring to.
�Beyonc� voter� is a snarky throwback reference to the Cadillac-driving �welfare queen,� which is as factually accurate as the Tooth Fairy is.
Describing women as �Beyonc� voters� discounts the fact that the vast majority of single women who receive public assistance do work. It also dismisses the plummeting birth rates for teen girls, which are the lowest they�ve been in 40 years, due in large part to sex education and better access to � wait for it � birth control.
If one in every four voters is indeed a �single lady,� it means no candidate will win without them, period. No matter. Someone came up with a snappy one-liner, and everyone in the production meeting high-fived and told Watters to use it.
It�s clear some people have no interest in pitching a bigger tent.
It will be to their own detriment.

Casual Interior Mexican on the East Side. Here at Takoba we care about the quality of food we cook and serve to you. Growing up in Aguascalientes, a rural area in the center of Mexico, my family and I ate dishes made with fresh and local ingredients before they were simply trendy buzzwords. That was our way of life. And when we eventually relocated to Austin we brought our traditions with us. At its heart, Takoba is our way of sharing that food experience with you.
Just like la Señora Maria and Don Alberto decades ago, we cook with the freshest ingredients we can find and support some of our favorite local vendors, like Panadería Chuy and El Milagro. But sometimes nothing can top the flavors you enjoyed as a child, and for that reason we directly import chiles, beans, and herbs from Mexico. Our roots are secure in the heart of Mexico but we've worked tirelessly over the past 4 years with our friend and chef, Tracey Young, to bring Takoba to the east side and create a new legacy that we'd like you to be a part of. Take a look at our menus and come share a meal with us.
