UCSB's Luis Silva tabbed for Oct. 11 D-I Men's Primetime Honor
Full listing of D-1/2/3 men's and women's Primetime Honors for week of Oct. 3-9
La Salle sophomore forward Renee Washington (Ewing, N.J.) – whose pair of goals led the Explorers to a 2-1 overtime win over Atlantic-10 power Dayton – has been recognized as the CS360 Primetime Player of the Week for Division I women's soccer, as announced by CollegeSoccer360.com. Washington is the top honoree among 14 D-I women (listed below) who were named to the CS360 Primetime Performers Weekly Honor Roll, for Oct. 3-9 . The Primetime designation recognizes players based on situational factors (such as quality of opponent, clutch play, leadership, all-around contributions etc.) displayed in their performances during the past week, rather than solely on raw stats (full listing of criteria included below). See info. and action photos below for all 14 honorees, with headshots pictured in right sidebar.

WASHINGTON has helped the Explorers go undefeated (12-0-1; 4-0-0 A-10) and climb into the national rankings, with La Salle outscoring the opposition 30-1 this season. Dayton (cs360 #18) was far-and-away the team's toughest opponent faced thus far and the Flyers were less than 10 minutes from victory on Friday, Oct. 7 – before Washington calmly placed a penalty-kick try into the right side of the goal to ultimately force overtime. The extra session was a quick one, as Washington scored again – this time on a 30-yard shot that beat 'keeper Katherine Boone and tucked under the crossbar (91:39).
Two days later, Washington helped set up Dani Allizzo's early goal vs. Xavier (13') and tacked on her third goal of the weekend for a 3-0 cushion early in the second half (55'; 5-0 final). La Salle already has tied the school record for wins in a season and is riding an 11-game winning streak.
Washington currently ranks second on the team with 19 points (8G-3A) in 13 starts, with four gamewinning goals. She and her teammates already have posted five wins by one-goal margins and have yielded only 41 shots-on-goal (3.2 per game). The Explorers have fashioned quite a turnaround from 2010, when they finished only a couple games above .500 (11-9-2) and went 4-4-1 in conference play.
A second team all-A10 performer in 2010, Washington racked up 12G-3A as a freshman while appearing in 21 games and starting 14 (she also earned A-10 all-rookie and all-tournament honors a year ago). She was a youth-soccer standout with the Hiberian Express FC club program and Pennington Prep.

Vladimir's wonderland
The youngest star in Russia's gastronomic firmament is Vladimir Mukhin – the head chef of Moscow's White Rabbit has made it onto the list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants with his radically regional cuisine
Mukhin thrashes a rib-eye steak with wet linden twigs, a technique he picked up in the banja, the Russian version of the sauna: Banjagoers traditionally whack themselves with a wenik, a bundle of twigs. Mukhin is coolly unshaven and wears his dark hair tied back. "Banja for the steak," he says. The twigs pass on drops of water and taste to the meat, "giving it a gorgeous balanced flavor." Once again, the wenik swishes through the air and Mukhin smiles contentedly.
At 35, Mukhin is currently Russia's trendiest chef and a star. He is revolutionizing the Moscow restaurant scene – and his country's cuisine at the same time. In a land with not one Michelin-starred chef to its name, he is a veritable phenomenon. The White Rabbit, his flagship restaurant, placed 23 on the British journal Restaurant Magazine's 2017 list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants.
He's a real character, one of the guys, and each morning greets his kitchen staff like buddies with a ghetto fist. He has a mischievous, boyish grin that belies the determination, courage and strength he's poured into his career. Mukhin's story is that of a climber – someone who's come all the way from a lowly kitchen in the Russian provinces to the heights of world class. He was raised in southern Russia, in a small town called Jessentuk, at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains. Once home to 100 000 people and several mineral springs, today it boasts the faded glory of an old spa town. Before Mukhin came along, four generations of men and women in his family worked as cooks, so the boy practically had no choice but to become a chef, too. As a teenager, he spent most of his school vacations at the sink. Once all the pots and pans were clean, his father would allow him to learn his trade at the hob, but after a while, he would find himself back at the sink. "There would be mountains of dirty dishes waiting for me again."
Mukhin went to a culinary academy in Moscow and before long had a certain reputation. He was not the only student there capable of good cooking, but he had an insatiable appetite. One teacher recommended him to Michelin-starred chef Christian Étienne in Avignon, France, and to Michel Philibert, the truffle expert. Mukhin sold his car to pay for the internships, and Étienne then took him on as an apprentice. "Everything I know about balancing flavors, experimenting with colors and shapes and about presentation, I learned in France," says Mukhin.
Right now, he's sitting at a table in the Gorynych, one of his meanwhile 24 restaurants, which resembles the engine room of a ship, with steel supports on the ceiling and lots of concrete. Flames leap out of open ovens. The cooks wear baseball caps and have their sleeves rolled up. Mukhin pores over the menu. "That needs to go; we'll change this," he tells the restaurant manager. He pauses briefly, mulling the alternatives. "I'd like to have something else here, that's not right for us." He strikes the bruschetta in favor of sandwiches.
Homesick for Russia, he returned to Moscow from Avignon and took a job in an upmarket restaurant where the menu included spaghetti carbonara and baked Camembert. Mukhin went to the tables to persuade people to order borsch instead of pasta. "Back then, no one wanted to have anything to do with the cook," he said, "who just sat in his filthy kitchen, at worst, drunk." Mukhin wanted to change that image. His motto: "Cooking is a vocation similar to art." One day, he ventured out of his kitchen again – and encountered Boris Zarkov, a knowledgeable, inquisitive guest who was interested to give Mukhin's fare a try. Neither Mukhin nor Zarkov still know what the head chef prepared that day in 2010, but it made such an impression on Zarkov that he offered him a job a few days later.
Zarkov, who is not much older than Mukhin, had made his fortune with car-wash outfits and repair workshops, so initially, restaurants were just a hobby for him. He had recently bought a building in a top location and opened a new restaurant there, the White Rabbit, a place that aims to be an enchanting to its guests as Alice in Wonderland., and Mukhin, as Zarkov decided at their first encounter, was the right chef for it.
Some years later, the two gentlemen officially became business partners, too. Zarkov, the cool head and planner, takes care of the financial side of the business; Mukhin is the poet and artist. The White Rabbit Group's ongoing expansion is down to Zarkov's strategy. He builds a playground for his star chef, and he then has a free hand to pursue his mission there: namely, to take Russian cuisine back to its roots.
From the White Rabbit on level 16 of a Moscow tower block, guests have a great view of two different faces of the Russian capital: on the one side, there's Old Arbat street, the popular haunt of artists and writers in the olden days, and on the other side, the office towers of Moscow City. History and renewal also come together in Mukhin's culinary creations, his fresh interpretations of traditional Russian fare. "Russian evolution," is what Mukhin calls it when he serves up cod from the Arctic port of Murmansk with winter radish and topinambur cream. Mukhin prepares his shchi – traditional Russian cabbage soup – with vine leaves instead of white cabbage. And now that he serves it with sheep's cheese and a sauce made from roasted hazelnuts, kvass, a kind of wine made from fermented bread, has gained new popularity.
Like a hunter and gatherer, Mukhin spent the early years traveling his vast native country, always on the lookout for recipes that were believed lost. He traveled to Siberia, through the Altai Mountains to the farthest eastern stretches of Russia on the Pacific Ocean. He visited snack bars and luxury restaurants and struck lucky almost everywhere he went, finding sour dough at a monastery on the White Sea, honey wine in Yaroslavl, black bread in Borodino, and shrimp in Kamtchatka.
While regional cuisine has long been celebrated from Peru to Lapland, it took a special impulse to gain recognition in Russia for its old recipes and ingredients. That impulse came in 2014 from an unexpected quarter, namely world politics. When the imposition of EU sanctions on Russia left entire supermarket shelves bare, with not a French cheese or an Italian wine in sight, Moscow restaurants attempted to obtain their urgently needed imports via back routes.
Suddenly, Mukhin's way was the way out, a smart solution because he already had a long-established network of domestic suppliers. "Basically, the sanctions helped us; suddenly we were the stars," he comments, amused. A short while later, the White Rabbit turned up on the prestigious The World's 50 Best Restaurants list for the first time, as the highest-placed newcomer and first-ever Russian restaurant – and it has since featured in every new edition.
Mukhin could now sit back and rest on his laurels. He himself says that his two children rarely get to see him. But he simply adores cooking – and success. Again and again, he travels the country in search of culinary gems. He recently brought ash salt back from a tour, and now the butter that comes with the black bread at the Gorynych is dusted with it, lending it a smoky flavor. But despite his great homesickness, the man has also been flying abroad more often. This year, he opened his Crab Market restaurant in Dubai – it was the first time both Mukhin and the Rabbit had ventured outside Russia. Standstill is not something Vladimir Mukhin is planning in his life. A Russian conquers the world with food; with cod and sandwiches.

Roofing - Pricing, Cost Estimates and Research
Roofing is responsible for several important functions. Most importantly, it serves as the structural support of your home. In addition, the roof controls water ingress, air flow, water vapor diffusion, heat flow, and offers surface protection. However, in order for a roof to function properly, the right roof materials and components in the assembly must be selected based on the properties that make them suitable for these various tasks.
The price of a new roof system varies widely, depending on such things as the materials selected, contractor doing the work, location, local labor rates and time of year. It is important to keep in mind that for each roofing material, there are different grades and corresponding prices. There also are a variety of roof styles and shapes to choose from. You need to look at the full product range and make a choice based on your budget and needs.
Roofing Shapes
There are many different distinct shapes for roofs these days, some more common than others. We have provided our users with a list of the most popular roofing shapes today and some details about their appearance and construction.
- Gabled - Constructed with a single slope on each side of the ridge, creating a triangle portion on the side of front facade.
- Side-Gabled - Non-gabled side faces the front and contains the front doorway.
- Front-Gabled - Gabled side faces the front and contains the front doorway.
- Cross-Gabled - Perpendicular wings are added to the main section forming two individual sections with their own gabled façade.
Important Aspects of Roof Assembly
Roof Insulation: Insulation controls heat flow both into the building and out of the building. There are many different types of thermal insulation that are used in roofing. Keep in mind that moisture resistance is an important property to consider when selecting roof insulation because water has a much higher thermal conductivity than air. Insulation options include cellular glass, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, phenolic foam (air filled/gas filled), wood fibre board, and mineral fiber.
Vapour Barriers: The vapour barrier is responsible for limiting diffusion of moisture from inside the building into the roof assembly. Generally the vapor barrier is located on the warm side of the thermal insulation so that its temperature will not fall below the dew point temperature of the inside air. This is how condensation in the roof is controlled. There are several different materials to choose from.
Top Cover: The top covers are responsible for protecting the underlying roof components from UV radiation and physical damage. They come in several types including liquid applied coatings, factory applied mineral and metal surfaces, gravel and pavers. Keep in mind, liquid applied coatings require a certain amount of maintenance. Also, gravel and pavers are more resilient but have the disadvantage of adding to the vertical load on the structure.

In addition, asphalt shingles are also easy to cut, fasten, and fit, as well as being compatible with many different kinds of flashing and edging products.

Oysterfest Promotes Alaskan Oyster Industry
Published: 07/18/2013 12:00:00
Last weekend saw a very unique event in Juneau, the 2nd annual Oysterfest at Sealaska Plaza, hosted by Haa Aani, their economic development subsidiary, it was designed to promote and celebrate the Alaskan Oyster industry. Shawn Blumenshine, the Event Coordinator, told us more about it all.
VIDEO: 2nd annual event features guest chef from New York's Grand Central Oyster Bar. (Image: Rik Pruett)
"It's an industry that we have invested in personally, Haa Aani, we've invested in some oyster farms around Southeast Alaska, so we're trying to grow and promote the industry, the oyster industry is a huge industry and the supply cannot even begin to keep up with the demand. Last year's Oyster Festival ended up being so successful we decided we were going to make it an annual thing. Alaska Seafood Marketing (ASMI) is one of our big sponsors too, they sponsored us last year and again this year and they flew up Chef Sandy Ingber from New York's Grand Central Station Oyster Bar."
The Chef himself told us about one of his Oyster preparations that he was featuring.
"Well today we have an oyster on the half shell, which is the Alaskan oyster, and it's going to have an APA, (American pale ale) Alaskan Brewery APA, we made a mignonette out of it with the shallots, a little touch of vinegar, and some black pepper. That's going to go on top of the oyster and then I made a cucumber, tomato, citrusy relish to go on top."
According to an anonymous Oysterfest Participant "They are phenomenal."
Also on hand was Stuart Campbell of Icy Strait Point in Hoonah, who told us about his special preparation method.
"Specialty today is we've got some grilled oysters with a mineure sauce which is a brown butter sauce it's got Worcestershire, and lemon, garlic and a little tobacco so it's awesome."
Shawn Blumenshine commented on the quality of the Oyster's that are being grown in Southeast.
"Oh, the oysters are extremely good; I'm not even a huge oyster fan I'll admit but the Alaskan waters with the rich in nutrients produce a very sweet, very high quality oyster. We've got farms in Yakutat, we've got farms in Hoonah, we've got a farm in Angoon that's about to come on line harvesting oysters and we're working on a project on Prince of Wales Island as well."
I asked him "How many oysters do you expect to go through today?"
"Eight hundred dozen, last year we did three thousand dozen over the three days."

Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens & at Centennial Square
Having long since shed its status as a marginal or preparatory practice, the medium of drawing has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent decades. Now seen widely as a vital art form in its own right, drawing offers countless artists the means to document their worlds, describe their imaginations and detail the abstract.
Out of Line brings together recent works by more than thirty contemporary artists from across Canada. Encompassing a broad array of styles and methods—from figurative works on paper to abstract sculptural pieces—the artworks assembled in the exhibition assess the impressively diverse and ambitious ways in which drawing practices are taking shape at the present moment across the country. With approaches both intimate and grand, traditional and novel, political and autobiographical, these works demonstrate drawing's remarkable capacity to depict contemporary life.
Oakville Galleries is a not-for-profit contemporary art museum. The Galleries reaches communities in Oakville, and wider audiences regionally, nationally and internationally. Oakville Galleries is a forum for engaging people with the questions that shape us as individuals, communities and cultures.

When cartoonist Thomas Nast drew this illustration of future Manhattan for Harper's Weekly in 1881, Trinity Church was the tallest building in New York, with its spire and cross reaching 281 feet into the heavens. Until September of 2001, the North Tower of the World Trade Center stood as the tallest building in the city at 1,368 feet. Today, the Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York at 1,250 feet tall, but with any luck that's likely to change soon(ish).
The much delayed $3.1 billion One World Trade Center (formerly known as the Freedom Tower) will stand on the former site of the World Trade Center as the tallest building in New York at 1,776 feet. It's currently scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath for that date.

"Iron Man 2" has already pulled in over $100 million at the international box office and Samuel L. Jackson says his Marvel magic is just starting.
"I've got a nine-picture deal, I'll be around for awhile!" Sam told Access Hollywood at the Third Annual George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic 2010 in Toluca Lake, Calif., on Monday.
Sam, who reprises his role as Nick Fury – the eventual head of Marvel's espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D, is slated to star in a slew of spin-offs including "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "The Avengers."
"Nick Fury is around for awhile," Sam added.
Don Cheadle, who makes his debut as Lt. Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes (aka War Machine) – taking over for Terrence Howard – told Access that he had a love/hate relationship with the movie's armored costume.
"I was going to say it was fun to put on that suit, but that's not the truth," he told Access. "It's fun to have been in that and have it be over with and now people can enjoy it as a film."
Don said he had a plan for the costume following the movie – something Marvel was not excited about.
"I actually wanted to have it destroyed," he joked. "But, they wouldn't let me."
"Iron Man 2" hits theaters on Friday.

Damage left behind after a 300-pound deer broke into a house in Philadelphia.
A home invader broke into a house in northeast Philadelphia -- but it wasn't the kind of intruder that the homeowner or police expected.
Ron Philipose tells NBC10 he received a call from police over the weekend saying there may have been a burglary at his home on the 1600 block of Welsh Road. Police told Philipose they had gotten a report stating there was glass breaking inside the house.
Read the original report | More from NBCPhiladelphia.com
Philipose, who was with his wife and 2-week-old son at a doctor's appointment at the time, agreed to meet with police.
As Philipose and several police officers arrived at his home, officers say they spotted blood on the couch and wall. They drew their guns and asked Philipose to leave for his own safety. The officers then searched the inside of the home, which was in shambles, with blood and broken glass everywhere. When they arrived in a back room they found the intruder: a 300-pound deer that had somehow gotten into the house, breaking a fence and a window in the process. Police say there was even glass inside the baby's crib and changing table.

The officers locked the deer in the room and contacted Pennsylvania Fish and Wildlife, who came to the property an hour and a half later. The officers tried to get the deer out of the home, but were unable to. They were eventually forced to euthanize the animal.
Philipose said he believes his personal property insurance should be able to cover the damage.

A Google security engineer accused Microsoft of treating outside researchers with "great hostility" just days before posting details of an unpatched vulnerability in Windows that could be used to crash PCs or gain additional access rights.
Microsoft acknowledged the vulnerability late Tuesday. "We are aware of claims regarding a potential issue affecting Microsoft Windows and are investigating," said Dustin Childs, a spokesman for the company's security response group, in an email. "We will take the appropriate action to protect our customers."
Childs declined to answer additional questions, including whether Microsoft had been aware of the vulnerability before it surfaced on the Full Disclosure security mailing list May 17, or when it would release a patch.
Tavis Ormandy, a Google security engineer, revealed the bug on Full Disclosure, where he discussed the flaw in the Windows kernel driver, "Win32k.sys," and asked for help in overcoming a roadblock. "I don't have much free time to work on silly Microsoft code, so I'm looking for ideas on how to fix the final obstacle for exploitation," he wrote.
Ormandy had first published information about the vulnerability in March to GitHub in an effort to solicit help or entice other researchers to investigate. That information no longer appears on GitHub, however.
On Monday, Ormandy again posted to Full Disclosure, going into more detail and providing demonstration code. "I have a working exploit that grants SYSTEM on all currently supported versions of Windows," claimed Ormandy. "Code is available on request to students from reputable schools."
Tuesday, Danish vulnerability research firm Secunia published a skeletal advisory, claiming it had confirmed the bug in a fully-patched copy of Windows 7 Professional and that Windows 8 and other editions might also be affected.
Secunia said that the vulnerability could be exploited to generate a denial-of-service (DoS) attack or to give an attacker elevated privileges.
Microsoft dubs the latter an "elevation of privilege," or EoP, vulnerability.
While the bug cannot be exploited remotely -- by sneaking attack code onto a compromised website, for example -- it still should be considered serious, said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at TripWire's nCircle Security.
"If you consider that it takes a number of different vulnerabilities to successfully exploit Windows or a Microsoft application, a local EoP is an important step in that chain of breaking into a Windows system," Storms said in an email.
"Note that one person responded to his [Full Disclosure message] requesting some code in hopes of adding it to Metasploit," Storms continued, referring to the popular open-source penetration testing framework used by security professionals as well as by cyber criminals. "So it might not be a big remote code bug, but it could be useful for attackers nonetheless."
Ormandy has released information and demonstration code before for Windows vulnerabilities, notably in a pair of disclosures in 2010. In one such unveiling, Ormandy acknowledged that he reported a critical bug to Microsoft only five days before going public, saying he decided to take that tack -- rather than report it privately, and give Microsoft time to patch it -- because of its severity, and because he believed Microsoft would have otherwise dismissed his analysis.
Microsoft and some other security researchers criticized Ormandy for publicly discussing the vulnerability before it was patched, a practice known as "full disclosure" and one at odds with Microsoft's preference, called "responsible disclosure," that asks experts to report bugs privately.
Earlier in 2010, Ormandy had published information about a different Windows kernel vulnerability, pointing out that the bug had been tucked inside the operating system for at least 17 years.
Last week, Ormandy took a similar jab at Microsoft over the newest vulnerability.
"As far as I can tell, this code is pre-NT (20+ years) old, so remember to thank the SDL for solving security and reminding us that old code doesn't need to be reviewed ;-)," Ormandy said on Full Disclosure.
SDL, for Security Development Lifecycle, is a process and practice that Microsoft adopted to reduce the number of bugs in its software. Other vendors, including Adobe, also rely on SDL-like processes.
In a May 15 entry to his personal blog, where he also laid out some of his research, Ormandy was even more blunt in his criticism of Microsoft.
"If you solve the mystery and determine this is a security issue, send me an email and I'll update this post," Ormandy said. "If you confirm it is exploitable, feel free to send your work to Microsoft if you feel so compelled. [I]f this is your first time researching a potential vulnerability it might be an interesting experience.
"Note that Microsoft treat[s] vulnerability researchers with great hostility, and are often very difficult to work with," he said. "I would advise only speaking to them under a pseudonym, using Tor and anonymous email to protect yourself."
Ormandy also accused journalists of abusing his disclosures. In a Monday tweet, he said, "You can't distribute exploit code to everyone, because journalists will abuse it."
When another researcher pointed out that, "But dropping write-what-where PoC [proof-of-concept] is almost the same as dropping 100% reliable exploit," Ormandy replied: "No journalist knows what that means, but the people who need this information do."
According to Vulnerapedia, a "write-what-where" condition is "Any condition where the attacker has the ability to write an arbitrary value to an arbitrary location, often as the result of a buffer overflow." Such conditions "almost invariably can be used to execute arbitrary code," the entry continued.
In other words, a write-what-where condition can be exploited to run attack, or exploit, code.
Ormandy has had dust-ups with other vendors over vulnerabilities. In mid-2011, he accused Adobe of "trying to bury" an "embarrassing number" -- he said more than 400 -- of bugs in Flash Player.
Microsoft will probably not rush to patch the vulnerability Ormandy disclosed, said Storms, even though it might be usable by astute hackers. "At this point, it's difficult to imagine that Microsoft will do much of anything outside of their usual incident response that begins with confirming the bug and possibly issuing an advisory," Storms said.
Microsoft's next regularly-scheduled Patch Tuesday is June 11, or just under three weeks from today.

A week after Hurricane Sandy devastated the Eastern Seaboard and wreaked havoc on New Yorkers and New Jersey residents alike, celebrities are helping to keep the attention on where it belongs: victims of the storm.
To that end, that Emma Watson joined ex-CNN anchor Paula Zahn and celebrity chef Sandra Lee in volunteering to deliver meals to homebound elderly in and around Manhattan's five boroughs via the charity Citymeals-on-Wheels, the New York Post reports.
The 22-year-old thesp has been in town filming the Darren Aronofsky-directed biblical drama Noah, which, ironically, was forced to halt production temporarily due to Sandy. Her costar Russell Crowe, who plays the movie's bearded titular hero, also helped out by making a donation.
U.S. & World
Jersey Shore cast doing live special for Hurricane Sandy relief
"In honor of Seth &L.I Coast Guard &friends on Staten Island, donated to NYC Mayors Fund and plant a million trees fund," the actor tweeted on Sunday.
Cyndi Lauper, meanwhile, suffered a very personal loss as her 90-year-old uncle George Stathis was found dead in his Rockaway, Queens, home after the hurricane's floodwaters engulfed the peninsula.
Per the Post, the popster paid tribute to him by performing her hit "Time After Time," which she dedicated to her late uncle, at the Lenox Hill Autumn Ball, a benefit concert for storm victims that took place at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Monday.
New York City marathon canceled
"I lost my Uncle George in the hurricane," she said. "He was old. He didn't want to leave his house. I was in Chicago, and I called and said [to relatives], 'Why did you guys leave him,' and they just didn't think it was going to get that bad.'"
In other Sandy-related news, ABC's Day of Giving charitable drive on behalf of storm victims raised $16.8 million for Red Cross relief efforts, including donations from the likes of billionaire entrepreneur and "Shark Tank" star Mark Cuban and ABC's Barbara Walters.
Jimmy Kimmel has also announced plans to auction the desk he used while taping "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last week in Brooklyn to benefit the cause. The desk was signed by such celebrity guests as David Letterman, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and proceeds will also go to the Red Cross.
Best moments from NBC's Hurricane Sandy telethon
Last but not least, Steve Buscemi taped a special message that was posted on YouTube yesterday, in which he noted that his hit HBO drama "Boardwalk Empire" frequently shoots in the Rockaways and that his friends who live there, many of them firefighters, were victimized by the storm as well.
He then encouraged people to give to his foundation, Friends of Firefighters, which provides goods, services, equipment and even housing to firefighters and their families.
"They are our first responders and they are at a time of need so please give what you can," he implored.

Girls on Track Expands to Thirteen Middle Schools
SIOUX FALLS - A program that teaches young girls self- respect and healthy lifestyles is expanding across the Sioux Empire. Girls on Track is a ten week after school program that teaches girls in grades 6th-8th grades to be self-confident and to make good life choices.
Running is incorporated into the curriculum. Middle school is when girls start to look at themselves trying to figure out their self-worth. Oftentimes the image girls create of themselves is not always a positive image. Many girls that age are not happy with what they see and some of that is due to comments from their peers.
Girls on Track shows the girls how to set goals for themselves and stick to them.
Girls on Track Coordinator, Heidi McCormick said, "It creates self -esteem. They learn what they can do rather than how they look. They are taught though activities that get them motivated."
It works like this. The girls meet twice a week after school for an hour and a half. During that time they are taught a variety of lessons, everything from peer pressure and bullying to nutrition, healthy eating and relationships, dating and internet safety. It's not just classroom lessons, they use exercise in all of their discussions and at the end of the 10 week program the girls participate in a non-competitive 5K run/walk on May 5 at Falls Park.
"We have great reaction to this program," said McCormick.
Girls on Track is offered at 13 middle schools this spring. Each site takes up to 15 girls. Trained volunteers teach the classes. The cost of the class determines what you can pay. It is run through the YWCA and is supported through United Way. The sliding fee scale is $25-$100 per participant. But don't let the price deter you from signing up your daughter. "There's no girl ever turned away based on the inability to pay," said McCormick.
Girls on Track in the "big sister" program to Girls on The Run, a similar program but for girls in third through fifth grades. Both programs rely on donations of money and volunteers to be successful. Contact the YWCA at 605-336-3660 to get involved.

2014 Dodge Durango R/T and Citadel First Test
A Unibody SUV That Stands Out From the Crossover Crowd
The last time we tried out the Durango, we were highly impressed with how Dodge had made the successful transition from body-on-frame to unibody, with less compromise than with other vehicles that had made the same jump. With that model, which was new for 2011, styling was better than it had been in years, power was great, the interior packaging was impressive, and the still-rear-drive SUV could tow.
Compared with others that also made the unibody switch, the Durango provides the least amount of compromise for people who still need a vehicle that can do work. And when it participated in the 2012 Sport/Utility of the Year event, it truly impressed everyone who drove it. However, two key elements were missing: an eight-speed transmission and a modern interior. For 2014, the Durango has both, and retains all the attributes we so liked from two years ago.
We evaluated a Citadel powered by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and an R/T with the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8. Unlike the 2012 models, which had a five-speed automatic behind the V-6 and a six-speed auto behind the V-8, both engines now come standard with a ZF eight-speed automatic. And the differences, in addition to the rotary shifter, were apparent right from the start.
When powered by the 3.6-liter, the Durango is certainly capable, but not fast enough to make your heart race. Yet acceleration is smoother, and while it isn't quick -- it's 290 hp powering a 5125-pound vehicle -- it does a fine job of keeping up with traffic. Despite the Citadel weighing 120 poundsmore than the 2012 V-6 Crew we tested, the 2014 with the V-6 went from 0 to 60 in 8.0 seconds and completed the quarter mile in 16.1 seconds at 86.9 mph. That's a huge improvement from just two years ago, when the V-6 needed 9.0 seconds to reach 60 and 16.7 seconds to finish the quarter mile, at 85.9 mph. But making a vehicle a full second faster to 60 mph with no change in hp or torque? That's impressive.
The R/T was the fire-breather of the two. Its engine puts out a wonderful growl, which gets downright raunchy at wide-open throttle. Like the V-6, the Hemi didn't receive any added horsepower or torque for 2014, but the ZF trans made a big difference here, too. The 2014 R/T only weighed 4 pounds more than the 2012 R/T we sampled, so this is about as close to an apples-to-apples comparison as you can find. The 2014 R/T hit 60 in 6.6 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 15.0 seconds at 93.2 mph, as opposed to the 2012 R/T, which went 0-60 in 7.3 seconds and ran the quarter mile in 15.6 seconds at 87.9 mph. Did we mention that in addition to being faster, it now also gets better fuel economy?
We already were impressed with the Durango's ride and handling, both of which were better than expected for a three-row SUV. While both 2014 Durangos have a comfortable ride and feel well planted, the R/T's firmer suspension tuning made it feel more confident on twisty roads than the Citadel, and both Durangos handle so well that it's easy to forget that even the lighter Durango we tested weighs more than 5100 pounds. The steering response was impressive with both as well.
If there is one area that was a bit of a letdown, it was the interior. There were attractive updates, inside and out. The most noticeable difference on the body is the new taillights, which resemble those on current Dodge cars. The cabin has been updated with a new steering wheel, lighter and brighter accents, and a better overall appearance. The new technologies inside the cabin, including Uconnect and a new nav system, are easy to use, and the nav is a huge improvement. But the cabin does let in some noise, and for a $44,000-plus as-tested price, it would be nice if the interior materials were more upscale. But all three rows are comfortable and roomy, and it may be that the cabin materials are built to last.
The Durango was already a good vehicle that came to market missing just a few key elements. Yet thanks to some careful work by the engineers at Dodge, the Durango proved a pleasant surprise. Now if only there were an SRT version…

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, CONCACAF President and FIFA Vice-President Jeffrey Webb and FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke today kicked-off a four-day FIFA Development Seminar in Grand Cayman.
"The development of football around the world and at all levels is the primary mission entrusted to FIFA by its member associations," the President said. "When I started at FIFA, I was the first development officer, and I still am. I have witnessed how football can change lives and am very pleased to see how our development programmes have expanded over the years."
Presidents, General Secretaries and Technical Directors from 24 CONCACAF member associations – Anguila, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, US Virgin Islands and USA – gathered in the Cayman Islands to discuss key matters with FIFA, including the FIFA reforms and their impact as well as the new regulations for FIFA development programmes.
I have witnessed how football can change lives and am very pleased to see how our development programmes have expanded over the years.
Since 1999, an investment of USD 260 million has been made by FIFA in the CONCACAF area. FIFA's Development Committee announced in September 2013 the implementation of new development projects in St. Vincent & the Grenadines (headquarters), Montserrat (technical centres and mini pitches) and Panama (technical centre). Five other CONCACAF member associations will become new beneficiaries of Performance - FIFA's football management programme: Cuba, Cayman Islands, Guyana, Haiti and Trinidad & Tobago.
The seminar is part of a series of 11 development events initiated by FIFA in September 2013 with the objective of engaging its member associations in a landmark consultation process. The meetings are meant to become a key platform in order for FIFA and its member associations to continue dialogue on football governance reforms and future important challenges in the area of football development. Besides the kick-off event that took place in New Zealand, FIFA has already organised development seminars in Costa Rica and Bahrain. The next one is set to take place in December in Morocco within the scope of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Tomorrow, the FIFA President and the FIFA Secretary General are also set to address member associations as well as governments from the Confederation's countries within the scope of the CONCACAF Sports Summit 2013, Transformation through Partnership. Joseph S. Blatter will hold the keynote address of the event on the theme of "The Power of Football", while Jérôme Valcke will speak at a panel named "Football Attracting Business".

Cross-country bromance jackknifes thanks to irritating characters
In what amounts to a minor reshuffling of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Robert Downey Jr. plays a hypersonically, megalithically uptight architect trying to get home to Los Angeles for the birth of his first child. Zach Galifianakis, meanwhile, plays a extracellularly, superabundantly annoying would-be actor. Wouldn't it be wacky if these two—you guessed it!—had to road-trip across America?

Even if eavesdropping on your co-worker's personal phone calls is the closest you will ever get to becoming a spy, a watch filled with spy gadgets is hard for any man to resist.That is why Veldini has at least 3 different models of their new "Q" James Bond inspired wristwatch. Each features its own set of tools geared towards a specific scenario: outdoor use, spy use, and everyday use.
The outdoor version includes a flat Phillips screwdriver, flint stick and combo edge blade while the spy version utilizes a diamond tip glass cutter, Phillips head screwdriver, lock pick, magnifying glass and a straight edge blade. Users interested in the everyday version will get a flat Phillips screwdriver, bottle opener, refillable pen, magnifying glass and a combo-edge blade. As an added touch, the design of the "Q" watch resembles the hammer mechanism of 007's Walther PPK pistol.
