The spiderman is something that often happens to guys that go to prison on their first night in the shower. All the other guys beat up the "fresh fish" and push him to the ground in the corner of the shower then they form a circle around him and beat off till they cum in their hand and sling it at the new guy that all beat up and crying like a little girl. As they throw the cum at him they yell "Go Web!". Its a way of showing the new guy that from that minute on he's somebody's bitch.
Damn, look over there, that guy's gettin spiderman'ed! They pushed him to the floor, beat off in their hands and threw the nut all over him. He's somebody's bitch now..... sad.

When a girl is going down on you, and just before you climax you pull out of her mouth and nut in your own hand. Then fling the jism in her face, as you jump to your feet, making sure to properly mimic Spidey's web slinging hand motions. Now stand in a position of bravery, and power like any superhero would. Be sure not to react when she yells at you. Stand tall and proud, not too many guys get the chance to do that these days.
Yeah so i nutted in my hand... And i was all like "PLAH SPIDERMAN!!!" And then she was all like "WHAT THE...?" And i was all like... "shhhh baby, the games back on."

(Verb): When a girl is giving a guy head, and right before he comes into her mouth, he pushes her away, and comes into his hand, and throws it at the girls face, and says "SPIDER-MAN!"
Girl: "hey- wha-?"
Boy: "SPIDER-MAN!"
Boy: "SPIDER-MAN!"

A superhero belonging to Marvel Comics. Because of a bite taken from a radioactive spider, young college student Peter Parker has the ability to climb walls, to sense danger, and to shoot webs like a spider. He made a costume for a wrestling match, a burglar shot Peter's Uncle Ben, Peter went after the burglar, and killed him. Peter changed his costume to the costume we know today. And that's the origin of Spider-Man.
Who am I? I'm Spider-Man.

Most of the superheroes and princesses and soldiers probably paid little attention to the woman handing out candy at Del. Heather Mizeur's home on Halloween.
But for those who did, the treat was not only candy but an autograph and a photo with singer Melissa Etheridge.
Mizuer, a Takoma Park Democrat, posted about the evening on her Facebook page.
"Not exactly a traditional Halloween at the Mizeur's this year," Mizeur wrote on her Facebook page. "My wife is wearing her tutu like the princess that she is. For most of the night, the kids had no clue that Melissa Etheridge was passing out their candy. Then a group of teenagers came and one screams out, "Are you Melissa Etheridge?!?!" And I've never seen a more excited porch full of teen girls getting photos and autographs. Their moms were pretty psyched, too. Super fun. Hope you all got more treats than tricks tonight."
Mizuer, one of eight openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender legislators in Maryland, described Etheridge as "a very dear friend of ours."
"She's visiting with us while she is in town on her tour," Mizeur wrote in a message to a reporter. "She has a show at the Strathmore in Bethesda on Friday night. She helped us raise money for Marylanders for Marriage Equality by raffling six tickets to the concert and a chance to meet her backstage before the show."
In addition to being active in the effort to pass Maryland Question 6 this year, Mizeur is rumored to be considering a run for governor in 2014.

|About Us
Bucolic and green in more ways than one, the George H. Cook Campus is a vibrant academic oasis, abundant with opportunities to explore all things environmental, delve into deep-sea discoveries, and conduct research at state-of-the-art laboratories. The agrarian heritage of the campus remains strong with the campus serving as home base to both the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
Campus Must-Do's...
Ag Experiment Station
Founded in 1880, the Agricultural Experiment Station hosts 10 on-campus research centers and institutes, and serves all 21 counties of New Jersey through its Cooperative Extension. Programs encompass a wide range of research, education, and outreach, from food safety research to the annual tomato tasting. Each year, more than a million kids and their families visit 4-H County Fairs. Learn more.
Campus Dean and Dean of Students
The Campus Dean and the Dean of Students work collaboratively to enrich the academic experience of students and to provide support services. Their offices are located in the same building and they share a joint email account.
The Campus Dean, Barbara Turpin, organizes academic programs and events that bring faculty and students together beyond the classroom.
The Dean of Students, Michelle R. Jefferson, focuses on campus well-being and assists students with medical, emotional, psychological, familial, or financial difficulties that are hampering academic success. If you find yourself struggling, the Dean of Students can help.
The boundaries of the George H. Cook and Douglass campuses are not rigidly defined, so you'll often see references to the Cook/Douglass Campus.

Nice, low profile BD player with good mix of network apps
A very nice, though not yet perfect, player. Priced (currently, as I write this review) a little towards the upper end of the scale that I would expect to have to pay for a nice Blu-ray player, but aimed at the higher end of the scale, including the ability to play back 3D content as well as offering 4K upscaling.
Superb Blu-ray images, SD card slot, Netflix shortcut button
We're not convinced that there are better options if you want to introduce smart stuff to your living room, but this Panasonic Blu-ray player is nevertheless a great all-digital option. It's the easiest to use of any Blu-ray deck we've tested, and though it lacks some apps in among a rather old-fashioned GUI, it's also the fastest working.
We've got no complaints about Blu-ray playback, either in 2D or 3D, while DVDs and online video are skilfully upscaled.
Blu-ray and DVD picture performance as good as it gets
When it comes down to it, all of that extra stuff is nice, but the main job of a Blu-ray player is to deliver high-quality video from DVDs and Blu-ray discs. There are very few players that can do as good a job on Australian discs as the Panasonic DMP-BDT330.
Excellent picture, Rich colours, Authoritative sound
The Panasonic DMP-BDT330's smart content isn't anything extraordinary, but the key thing is its Blu-ray performance, and here we are very impressed.
In that regard, it's on a pretty even footing with the Award-winning Sony: its picture performance particularly is nothing short of stunning.
Stylish and solid construction
The start-up and load times are reasonable, although not spectacular, and make sure you turn off the start-up banner feature, unless you want to watch forced adverts when you boot your player up. The energy consumption is also good whilst not being overly impressive and overall the BDT-330 was average in both these areas. As we would expect from a Blu-ray player that is basically a digital transport, the audio and video (both 2D and 3D) performance over HDMI was flawless.
Commendable AV quality, neat form factor
Overall, the DMP-BDT330 is a likeable disc player. Its design and form factor make it easy to squirrel away in a second room or on an AV shelf. Of the new features this year, Miracast is very handy, 4K upscaling probably less so. And Panasonic's reversion to a traditional handset should be applauded.
Stylish design, 3D compatibility, Built-in Wi-Fi
The Panasonic DMP-BDT330 is a stylishly designed Blu-ray player that gets to work quickly and ensures picture quality that's perfectly on par with its competitors. However, the lack of 7.1 analogue audio out could be a problem for some, and it's a shame that the Smart TV interface is a little slow and out-dated.
Miracast feature allows for you to stream videos and music from your Android device to your TV
This Panasonic Blu-ray player will not disappoint you with a look as clean and sharp as the picture it boasts.
Excellent file compatibility with AllShare
If your budget doesn't stretch to the BD-F7500 - or you simply don't need 4K upscaling, two HDMIs and analogue audio outputs - then the BD-F6500 is a fine alternative. Apart from the above features and a more basic design it's essentially the same player at a lower price. That means you get the same generous internet content, slick DLNA streaming, screen mirroring, 3D playback and wide format compatibility, not to mention the superb new operating system that makes navigation a breeze.
Excellent picture quality, Slick operating system, Bountiful smart TV selection
We often see Blu-ray players and question why the manufacturer has included or excluded certain features, bearing in mind the price and positioning in the market. Not so, here.
Jettisoning analogue outputs seems reasonable enough on what is a straightforward all-digital deck. By favouring and refining the smart TV side of things, Samsung seems to have its finger on the pulse and has delivered an excellent all round Blu-ray deck for today's rapidly evolving home entertainment market.
Playback quality is excellent
At first glance the £40 price difference between the BD-F6500 and the BD-F5500 feels like a lot to pay for built-in Wi-Fi and 7.1 surround sound (which hardly anyone will use). But this is a player fully equipped for the new age of content streaming. While the Catch-up TV, Netflix and LoveFilm apps will be rolling out to all Samsung's 2013 range of Blu-Ray players, only the F6500 (and the over-expensive F7500) will offer the flexibility of accessing content via built-in Wi-Fi.
Solid picture performance, Extensive smart functionality
For the money, the Samsung BD-F6500 is a likeable and competent machine. The feature count is high and picture quality is of a good standard â?? itâ??s a shame that the sound quality lets the side down.
Excellent 2D & 3D images, Great value price
Viewers after the latest and greatest collection of apps should look beyond the DMP-BDT230 and head for a Samsung deck. However, if you're after the very finest picture quality not only from 2D and 3D Blu-ray, but from upscaled DVDs, too, the low-priced DMP-BDT230 is dead centre of the sweet-spot.
Loads discs very quickly
The DMP-BDT230 powers up and loads discs very quickly, and I didn't encounter any freezes or stutters during disc playback. The player passed all of the 480i/1080i processing tests on the HQV Benchmark DVD and HD HQV Benchmark Blu-ray disc (Silicon Optix). For the most part, it cleanly rendered my real-world DVD scenes from Gladiator (DreamWorks) and The Bourne Identity (Universal), producing only an instant of moir in both scenes before it locked onto the 3:2 cadence.
Top 2D & 3D picture quality, Smart TV
The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 costs a little more than the average Blu-Ray player, but it delivers a lot more. Whilst most Blu-Ray players do pretty much the same job, the BDT230 delivers a little extra. Not only does it include 3D playback, Smart TV and built-in Wi-Fi, but it over-delivers on picture quality and audio quality. You won't find better than this unless you're prepared to increase your budget considerably.
Solid, powerful sound, Rich, natural colours
The Panasonic might not be the smartest player around, but it is one of the best-performing: great picture and accomplished sound.
Effective, faithful playback
The DMP-BDT230 is another fine player to emerge from Panasonicâ??s stables. It plays everything flawlessly, includes a very good set of well-maintained apps and it certainly wonâ??t break the bank. Recommended.
A excellent Network and disk player
If you're looking for a solid disk and network player, the BDP-S5100 is well worth a look. Is it worth upgrading from last years BDP-S590? ... well, only if you are a heavy youtube user would I consider it. The BDP-S590 was already a excellent Bluray player, and Sony has only done a few incremental improvements here.
Very capable Blu-Ray player with 3D playback
It costs a bit more than the other Sony Blu-Ray players, but not enough to break the bank. If you're buying this is conjunction with a new TV you won't even notice the price difference. Since the BDP-S5100 includes 3D playback and built-in Wi-Fi, we'd recommend that you choose this one instead of one of the cheaper models. It's always a good policy to future-proof yourself as much as possible when buying tech.
Clean, sharp images, Impressive detail in dark scenes
If the BDP-S5100 is any indication of what's to come, 2013 could be a bumper year for Sony's Blu-ray players. This has all the hallmarks of a class-leading machine.
Quality of the image was phenomenal
What's left to say about the Oppo's new BDP-103 universal Blu-ray player, except that it is currently the universal disc spinner to have and the one to beat and the fact that it doesn't cost you an arm, leg and kidney is just icing on the cake. There isn't anything this mighty player can't really do outside of a few missing formats, mainly ISO, and true UltraHD compatibility. Beyond that, the BDP-103 is all the player you need and then some.
Solid build quality
I have had the opportunity to review OPPO products going back to their first upscaling DVD player (OPDV971H) and with every Upscaling DVD and Blu-ray Disc player I have seen from them, up to this point, they have consistently provided solid build quality and the latest audio and video innovations, while retaining excellent core audio and video performance.
Unrivalled image quality
The BDP-103 is as good a Blu-ray player as weâ??ve ever seen. Itâ??s extremely well-built and uses the highest quality components. It produces the best picture, supports the most formats, and has the most features of any consumer-level Blu-ray player on the market. Its international-focused video services are largely useless to Australia, though.
Best in high quality home entertainmen
The $499 BDP-103 is Oppo's latest (third generation) Blu-ray player that provides a solid design and offers the best in high quality home entertainment including Blu-ray, SACD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, HDCD, CD, high definition movie and music streaming, and local network-based content. This player has leveraged from the highly successful BDP-93 Blu-ray player and features new 4Kx2K up-scaling and built-in upconversion for other digital video sources through the HDMI inputs.
Outstanding Value At This Price Level
The Sony BDP-S1100 is the best non-3D Blu-ray/DVD player that I have seen, anywhere near its price range. It takes 15 seconds to load Blu-ray disks, which took around 2 minutes to load in one of my earlier Panasonic players. A couple of Blu-ray disks (The King's Speech and Casino) would only load in this Panasonic player if I unplugged the Internet connection. Eventually, a firmware update came along which allowed loading of these titles, but they still loaded very slowly.
Stylish design, and is highly recommended
The price of the Sony BDP-S1100 has fallen since launch to a rock bottom £50, and at that price it probably offers more for your money than any other player on the market. The designer looks of the device are an added bonus, and it stands out as a top choice among entry-level models.
Responsive, user-friendly interface similar in style to PlayStation 3 menus
The Sony BDP-S1100 is an excellent Blu-ray player with a very compact design. We liked its responsive, user-friendly menus, which are similar in style to the PlayStation 3 interface. Anyone looking for 3D support, however, will need to look to a higher-end model.
Finally! Video streaming speeds that match my tablet and laptop
I wasn't sure if this "super wifi" claim was a gimmick or not, but since I was in the market for a new player precisely because of bad wifi connectivity, I thought I'd give it a try. I have to say, I'm very impressed with both the wifi and many other features about the player. I'm getting 12-20 Mbps while watching videos and my tablet/phone - for a change - are also reporting similar speeds. (My wired PC gets around 30 if you are wondering how fast my modem connectivity is.)
Good feature list for the money
Weighing up its features, performance and price, we can only conclude that the BDP-S3100 represents superb value for money. It boasts a generous array of features, including built-in Wi-Fi, web content and DLNA streaming, all for a little over £100 - plus it's attractively styled, surprisingly well built and delivers dazzling 2D pictures.
Premium, stylish design and includes built-in Wi-Fi
The BDP-S3100 is a nice-looking Blu-Ray player, but beyond its distinctive design, there's no compelling reason to choose this over rivals from other manufacturers. The Triluminos compatibility could be relevant if you plan to buy a Sony TV in the future that supports Triluminos, but at present these are far too expensive for the average consumer to consider.
It's a step up from the entry-level BDP-S1100, adding Wi-Fi, DLNA and support for Sony's TV Side View smartphone app.
Excellent feature list
It's great to see Panasonic back challenging the likes of Denon, Marantz, and Onkyo with a high-end, audiophile-focused Blu-ray player, and thanks to its superlative picture and sound quality, coupled with a killer feature list, it's better value than the brands above can offer although true audiophiles might be put off by the lack of DVD-Audio and SACD playback. Overall though, the DMP-BDT500 is an accomplished Blu-ray player, truly worthy of its flagship status.
Picture is terrific in both 3D and 2D
The DMP-BDT500 is a niche Blu-ray player in some senses. If you don't own home cinema kit and simply want to connect to a TV set, its extensive audio adjustment options aren't necessary: save your money and buy a cheaper Panasonic. The same's true if you're not into music, or prefer to use a separate component for music replay. But if you want one deck to do the lot, it's a must-try.
Excellent build quality
The Panasonic DMP-BDT500 marks a fine return to high-end Blu-ray for the Japanese brand. Its flagship disc spinner boasts a wide range of features, including Viera Connect, 3D support and DLNA streaming, not to mention its sophisticated audio components, robust build quality and generous connections.
Great with 3D and upscaling
Overall, is the Panasonic DMP-BDT500 worth the extra cash over the cheaper models in the range?
Definitely. Improving on an already brilliant line-up, it's a captivating player that will make you dig out all your discs and watch them anew.
Impressive video playback
The DMP-BDT500 certainly looks like a flagship player with an attractive, if rather traditional, design. The metal chassis, gloss black finish and brushed metal strip along the bottom of the facia give the player a suitably high-end look. The larger dimensions, solid feet and increased weight, also help provide a sense of high quality player and the BDT500 is very quiet in operation.
Excellent analogue audio performance
Overall, I rate Panasonic's DMP-BDT500 as a superior Blu-ray proposition, albeit one with some caveats. Its audio-visual performance is exemplary, both in the analogue domain and over HDMI. While the lack of support for Super Audio CD, and to a lesser extent DVD-Audio, will take some shine off it for those with legacy disc collections, mainstream users are unlikely to be disappointed.
A shame then that the DMP-BDT500 lets itself down with something quite so basic as the IR controller.
Great user interface makes it easy to use
The LG BP420 has a very friendly user interface and offers up strong picture quality for both 2D and 3D movies, while also including an impressive range of Smart TV apps and good digital media support. It lacks the extra lick of speed that would have made the smart apps and streaming more satisfying to use, but overall it's a good deck for the money.
Support for Smart TV and 3D playback
The BP420 is currently LG's most popular Blu-Ray player and with good reason. Despite being priced at around £100, it includes support for Smart TV and 3D playback. It lacks Wi-Fi support though, so if this feature is important, you should consider the BP520.
Great little device
I bought this so that I could use my external HDD in Afghanistan to watch movies. It plays freakin everything. I have put every video file I can find up against this thing and it always comes out crystal clear. .avi, .wma, .mp4, .ogm, .mkv, etc. This thing is a champ. I have had one issue that I cannot seem to figure out, when I plug in my Seagate 1TB external, some of the movies will not play. If I transfer those same movies to a thumbdrive, they play no problem.

Rich Karlgaard, Forbes Staff
I celebrate innovation and growth.
During the Great Recession and its aftermath, the U.S. economy has performed slightly better than flat. That's hard to believe, isn't it? But the numbers tell the story. In 2008, 2009 and (projected) 2010, the U.S. GDP was (and is), $14.3 trillion, $14.2 trillion and $14.6 trillion.
Yes, it's hard to believe the economy was flattish – factually, ever-so-slightly growing – over the worst patch in our lifetimes. Why did the economy feel so much worse if it was merely flat? Good God, what would happen if the economy actually shrank over several years?
Answer: Americans are accustomed to growth. And with a growing population, we need growth.
Since World War II, the American economy has averaged 3.3% growth per year. But as economist Donald Luskin has written, small changes in GDP cause big swings in stock market values, investor animal spirits, and consumer sentiment. That's why 4% growth feels like a boom, 2% growth feels like a recession, and flat feels like the 1930s.
Right now, America is in a "growth recession" which I would define as statistical growth but at a subpar rate – let's say 0% to 3%, net of inflation. Put another way, growth in the 0% to 3% range is technically growth. It just feels lousy.
How can America get back to 3.3%-plus growth? A vital question, this. It should be the economic policy question. That's because 3.3%-plus growth, sustained over multiple years, and not just captured in a quarterly spike, sustains a positive feedback loop. Investors feel good and start pulling their money out of non-productive assets like gold. Employers feel good and start hiring. Consumers feel good and start buying. That's what real 3.3%-plus growth would do for America, and what sickly 0% to 3% growth can never do.
How do we get there?
Carl Schramm, who heads America's top entrepreneurial think tank, the Kauffman Foundation, has a stunningly good insight into what causes an economy to grow. Growth, he says, is directly correlated to startups that get big. I interviewed Schramm onstage last week at a Churchill Club event at Microsoft's Silicon campus in Mountain View.
Schramm said:
"The single most important contributor to a nation's economic growth is the number of startups that grow to a billion dollars in revenue within 20 years."
Schramm says the U.S. economy, given its large size, needs to spawn something like 75 to 125 billion-dollar babies per year to feed the country's post World War II rate of growth. Faster growth requires even more successful startups.
This is an amazing statistic. Schramm is describing the X factor of America's historical success.
Yes, we want our large multinational companies – the Apples and IBMs, Walmarts and Exxon Mobils – to be successful. But their success, while necessary for a healthy economy, won't grow the economy much more than a Western Europe-like 2% per year (a rate of growth, as we've learned, that feels moribund to an American).
Yes, we also want millions of Americans following their dreams and starting cottage businesses that support their needs and their lifestyles. But a proliferation of cottage businesses won't push the country past 3.3% growth, either.
Have you ever asked yourself how it is that we are 100 times more productive than we were 100 years ago, but we don't live 100 times better?
Yes, we have computers, iPods, good roads, reliable cars in most every driveway, etc., but we are not working that much less. Why is that?
Like everyone else, I think you have failed to grasp how inflation confiscates the value of our labor. Monetary inflation can only come from three places: the Fed's use of the Discount Window (which as we have seen in recent days is quite flexible, and extends to creating money for banks overseas), Open Market Operations, and the institution of fractional reserve banking. That is it.
We see, so often, this saw that economic growth creates inflation. This gets the horse behind the cart. Inflation is when somebody creates money from nothing, then spends it. Sometimes whatever they spend it on takes wing and becomes self sufficient. That is "growth". That is the goal of so-called "Quantitative Easing", which implies they have been holding back, that there is this flood of money they have been keeping in check. This is true, to a point: the Fed has NO limits to its ability to create money, so in theory QE2 could be 10x what it will be, with just the same amount of effort, which amounts to typing in a computer.
It is my considered view that all economic problems result from government interference, central banks, and laziness (which can be manifested as a lack of imagination).
It is my contention that we should be able to work 10 hours a week and live as well as we do. True Capitalism is a process by means of which every citizen becomes a "rentier", and by means of which industriousness is transformed into wealth, which is transformed into leisure.
I make that case here: http://www.goodnessmovement.com/Page14.html
I am currently working on a piece on the Great Depression. Once you strip back all the extraneous nonsense, one thing becomes crystal clear: the Great Depression could not have happened in a system which did not practice fractional reserve banking. It would have been impossible. The Depression clearly resulted from monetary deflation, itself the consequence of the failure of nearly half our banks.
It was perpetuated by wage and price controls, high taxes, and anxiety, but most of the damage was done well before FDR got there.

I have a feeling I may come off as too simplistic with this remark. But increase in number of transactions will help grow an economy. And by transactions I mean hard infrastructure transactions. Transactions based mainly on tangible items, rather than financial industry transactions.
Real estate was considered tangible for a long time, but its value inherently is based on speculation and assumed demand and generally speaking it is not sector with a lot of repeat customers. People may buy and sell houses, but it does not add anything to the economy in terms of output.
I stress on tangibles like manufacturing for three reasons, one, despite large scale automation, this sector employs more people and two the financial industry in the end needs something to invest in which is tangible and three manufacturing generally implies consumer goods which often have repeat customers.
One reason the corporate cash reserves are near record highs is because the firms are not investing in anything tangible. Also a strong manufacturing would mean more people who are employed and in a position to purchase the goods others produce. In the present scenario the
A stronger emphasis on consumables would make sure that money exchanges hands more frequently and hence a larger economy. One has to make sure the kind of mathematical speculation taking place in the financial industry is reduced for this to happen.
Neither Keynes nor the Austrian school ever put forth an economic theory where a large chunk of the transactions are abstract speculation based bets. Mind you the financial industry has its place, but ultimately it has to invest in something tangible. The past few years with the speculation on real estate it has been effectively investing in itself.
Pardon the statement but the financial industry does not produce anything tangible, it supports production which goes on to make up the economic output.
Reduce the abstraction of the financial markets and speculations and we will immediately see economic growth.

With its intake of English criminals in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Sydney had a ready-made criminal class in operation. From the Razor Gang Wars of the 1920s and 1930s through to the rise of the East Coast Milieu in the 1970s and the intense rivalry between outlaw motorcycle gangs in the 1980s. Gangland Sydney puts Sydney's criminal past under the microscope. Also under examination is Sydney's notorious crime hotspot Kings Cross, as well as the role the New South Wales police force has played in both helping and hindering the growth of Sydney's criminal empires. Gangland Sydney is an unmissable book for anyone wanting to know the gritty details about Sydney's dark underbelly.

Whether traveling to the east coast or staying at home for the holiday tournaments, area basketball teams enjoyed success in varying degrees last weekend. The extra repetitions in non-district play always help inject a dose of extra preparation, and starting this week the in-game practice will again be put to good use for squads continuing, or perhaps beginning district play.
The most traveled Parker County team was the Lady Eagles, as Brock took in the KSA Events tournament, held in Orlando, Fla., and very nearly brought back a championship trophy.
The BHS girls won their first two games easily over New Jersey's Ocean City (36-24) and Pennsylvania's Beaver Falls (68-32) and lost a close match in the championship game to the Cherokee Lady Warriors (39-35), a team from Canton, Ga.
Brock picks back up with District 9-2A play play on Thursday, on the road for a much shorter trip to resume their slate at Alvord.
The Brock boys made their annual visit to the Whataburger Tournament, easing past Sanger and edging out Argyle, and took a runner-up trophy home with a loss to Kennedale in the Blue Division championship game. The Eagles resume their schedule on Thursday at Alvord.
After winning its first game at the Mansfield Invitational, Aledo's Ladycats were knocked from the championship bracket, but won out to claim 7th-place in a 32-team field. Aledo resumes district on Saturday, hosting Southwest at 4:30 p.m.
The Bearcats won all the way to the finals of the Aledo-hosted Moritz Holiday Classic, beating Joshua, Haltom and Mansfield Legacy along the way. But the visitors from Converse Judson proved too tough as Aledo settled for the runner-up spot. The Bearcats cede home-court advantage in the short run, resuming district play at Southwest on Friday.
The Lady Roos began Waco's MT Rice tourney on a good note, beating Dickinson in their opener. Fortunes fell off after the good start as Weatherford lost to host Midway and dropped a game to Cedar Park on Saturday. WHS picks up District 3-5A play on Friday, returning home to take on Arlington High at 6 p.m. The Weatherford boys, who played inthe Moritz Holiday Classic in Aledo, will entertain the Colts right after the girls game.

The Newtown Board of Education wants to offer an early retirement incentive to teachers if enough of the eligible teachers agree to make it worthwhile.
Superintendent Dr. Janet Robinson said the school board is facing another tough budget cycle and hopes an early retirement package will produce savings to offset other rising costs.
Robinson said she will approach the teachers union with the incentive offer, which is to extend their health insurance for five years or until Medicare in return for early retirement.
She said teachers who are over age 60 and have been paying into the state teachers pension system for at least 20 years are the ones most likely to take the incentive.

Connecticut public school teachers have their own state pension fund instead of receiving a town pension or Social Security. They receive 40 percent of the average of the top three years' pay after 20 years, 50 percent after 25 years and 60 percent after 30 years.
An early retirement incentive for the 2010-11 budget year was accepted by 11 teachers, but that was too few to produce enough savings to make it worthwhile, school officials said.
Robinson said the school budget received only .5 percent more this year, which wasn't enough to offset rising salaries.
Fortunately, the cost of employee health insurance went down, which is not typical, and school officials were able to find additional savings by economizing on utilities.
But this year, Robinson said, there is no place to cut, while salaries will continue to be the biggest cost increase factor.
Pupil enrollment is projected to decline by 80-100, but it will be spread out across multiple schools and grade levels making it difficult to cut staff without raising class sizes.
In a related development, the Board of Education agreed this week to meet jointly with the Legislative Council and the Board of Selectmen for a preliminary budget discussion. The meeting may take place later this month or early next month, although it has not yet been scheduled.

Rabbi Irwin Groner, who served Congregation Shaarey Zedek for more than 50 years, died Dec. 30. He was 81.
The Detroit News reports Rabbi Groner died at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, due to complications from Parkinson's disease.
A funeral service will be held Jan. 1, 2 p.m., at Congregation Shaarey Zedek, 27375 Bell Rd., Southfield, with Rabbis Joseph Krakoff, Aaron Starr, Alan Lucas and Cantor Meir Finkelstein officiating.
According to an obituary published by Ira Kaufman Funeral Home, Rabbi Groner first came to Shaarey Zedek in Detroit in 1959 as an assistant rabbi and was named senior rabbi in 1967. In 1978, he was elected rabbi of the congregation for life, and 25 years later, was granted the title of Rabbi Emeritus.
Rabbi Groner served as President of the Rabbinical Assembly, an international group of rabbis, from 1990-1992, and as chairman of the Governing Board of the "Etz Chayim", the one-volume Torah Commentary that was recently produced for the Conservative Movement by the Rabbinical Assembly and the Jewish Publication Society.
Among many other accomplishments, the obituary lists Rabbi Groner's involvement in metro Detroit's interfaith community and his service as chairman of the Rabbinical Assembly Conventions of 1976 and 1977 and president of the Michigan Board of Rabbis.
In 1984, Michigan Gov. James Blanchard appointed Rabbi Groner as the first clergyman to serve on the State's Judicial Tenure Commission.
In addition to degrees from the University of Chicago and the Hebrew Theological College of Chicago, where he was ordained, Rabbi Groner received an Honorary Doctorate in 1982 from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
Rabbi Groner recently published a book, Renewing Jewish Faith. His sermons, essays and articles have been published in periodicals of the Conservative Movement and the Detroit Jewish News.
Rabbi Groner is survived by his wife of 59 years Leypsa Groner; his children Judge David Groner (Judge Amy Hathaway), Dr. Joel Groner; sister Sarah Barach; grandchildren, Lisa, Stephen and Kathryn; and caregiver, Marek Stepniak. He was preceded in death by siblings Rabbi Benjamin Groner, Rabbi Oscar Groner, Julius Groner, Morton Groner and Ruth Rosenbaum; his parents Max and Beatrice Groner; and daughter Deborah "Debbie" Groner.
Memorial contributions may be made to Congregation Shaarey Zedek, Rabbi Irwin Groner Publication Fund, 27375 Bell Road, Southfield, MI 48034, or Frankel Jewish Academy, Debbie Groner Book Fund, 6600 W. Maple Rd., West Bloomfield, MI 48322.

Employees in the U.S. who sustain work-related injuries or develop an illness due to exposure to dangerous chemicals at work, are entitled to immediate financial assistance that will cover tier medical treatment and which will cushion them from the effect of a possible financial crises due to loss of capacity to earn and the inability to immediately go back to work.
Such right is stipulated in the Workers' Compensation benefit, a law that was passed in 1908 for the very intention of providing the much financial assistance needed by injured workers. Before the passing of this law, workers needed to sue their employers just to avail of the needed compensation. Besides damaging employee and employer relationship, the lawsuits were often won by employers, who always resorted to any of the following arguments:
If ever there were instances wherein the employee won the case, the compensation he/she was awarded with was either delayed or much less than what he/she actually expected and deserved.
Between 1911 and 1920, majority of the states implemented the workers' compensation benefits law with certain changes to align it to the laws in their own states. Filing for injury benefits through workers' compensation ensured employees of financial assistance as this insurance benefit was not dependent on the financial capability of any employer. One item the benefit stated, however, is the employer's freedom from any and further financial and/or legal obligations once the benefit has been awarded.Read More
Nurses are the lifeblood in any healthcare facility, although doctors get most of the public's attention. Without nurses, patients would not get the constant monitoring and care they need in hospitals, nursing homes, or long-term home care.
As such, nurses wield a lot of power over their patients, and this is not always a good thing. Health agencies are aware of this, which is why the conduct of nurses are closely monitored and their licensing requirements constantly updated. This is the best way to ensure that only qualified, competent and conscientious nurses are allowed around the most vulnerable members of the population, meaning the sick, the elderly, and the very young.
However, all systems have flaws, and sometimes unjust or unfounded charges may be brought against a nurse that may cause the suspension or loss of the license. Whenever a nursing license defense becomes necessary, it is always best to consult with a lawyer with extensive experience and a good track record in the relevant jurisdiction. According to the Leichter Law Firm website, there are complex processes involved in nursing license defense and only a duly trained lawyer would know how to work it. One should not trust one's future and career on the advice of well-meaning friends, family members or colleagues unless they have the legal training for it.
But the worst thing a nurse brought on charges can do is to depend on the Internet. While it is always a good starting point, the Internet is not wholly reliable when it comes to correct information; it takes a lot of discernment to separate the chaff from the wheat. Any tip or advice that comes from sites like nurses' forums and chat rooms should be taken with a grain of salt; taking it for gospel truth could be the fastest way to get booted out of the nursing profession without a shot fired.
When in need of nursing license defense, check the Internet for law firms specializing in the field as well as ask around for referrals. Most reputable law firms will provide an initial consultation for free. Narrow it down to the one that seems to be the most competent; the expense may be well worth it.Read More
The stress of everyday life has made the choice of hair salon more than a matter of grooming; people who feel frazzled can find sanctuary in the relaxed and pampering atmosphere of a good hair salon. But not all hair salons are made equal. Most people, especially women, find time to evaluate and assess the hair salons to find just the right one to give them what they need, especially for special occasions such as weddings.
Most men have no concept of the importance of finding just the right establishment when it comes to hair care and treatment. To them, a haircut is a necessary evil and they take as little time and consideration over it as possible.
For women, the conditioning and care of hair is a time-consuming task, and must be given as much attention as any part of the body. This is especially true in the humid heat of Houston which invites frizz and dryness to take up residence. But finding the best salon in Houston means not only finding the best hair care facilities and the most experienced people in various disciplines; you want the extras as well. Aside from proper hair care, many women want the total salon experience to wash away their cares.
Hair salon services in the best places go far beyond hair and makeup, although an excellent cut is always the most important aspect when it comes to hair. But the best hair salons need to provide more than good grooming facilities; patrons need to feel relaxed and rejuvenated when they emerge, so perks such as available massage facilities or a good cup of cappuccino can go a long way towards customer satisfaction.
When looking for the best salon in Houston, keep an eye out for these little touches. While secondary to experienced professionals and excellent facilities and products, it is what often makes a good experience great.Read More
There are a lot of things that pregnant women are cautioned against: stress, alcohol, rich food, cigarettes, emotional upheavals, and certain drugs. This is because the medical dangers that would otherwise not affect an individual may have unfortunate results on the growing fetus.
This can be a problem for women who are on necessary medication for a confirmed medical condition. One of these conditions that pose a conundrum for both physicians and patients is that of depression and/or anxiety. Pregnancy often triggers wild emotional swings in women who are not normally depressed or anxious because of the hormonal changes endemic to childbearing. In women diagnosed with mental disorders are often prescribed with drugs such as Zoloft to control the symptoms and the discontinuation can often lead to disaster.
Zoloft side effects are common to most of the drugs in its class, namely the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but Zoloft (generic sertraline hydrochloride) was considered somewhat safer than other SSRIs with milder side effects. Manufacturer Pfizer had actively marketed it as safe for pregnant women if taken in small doses, even those with no prior mental disorders. Many physicians thus counseled women having difficulty coping with the emotional swings of pregnancy that controlling symptoms of depression and anxiety would be beneficial to the baby.
What Pfizer failed to warn these physicians was that prescribing Zoloft in the first trimester of the pregnancy significantly (2.8 times) increased the risk of birth defects, including but not limited to heart defects. It was a medical mistake that would affect hundreds of children born to mothers prescribed with Zoloft and multidistrict litigation.
If you or a family member has been affected by Zoloft side effects or other forms of medical mistake that could have been prevented if provided with the right information and resulting from the negligence of others, it may be advisable to consult with a personal injury lawyer regarding your rights. These medical dangers often have long-lasting and costly consequences, and the parties responsible for inflicting them should be made to pay compensation to ease at least the financial burden.Read More
A car accident that involves a pedestrian often results in serious injury, and perhaps death. There is no fair contest between speeding metal and yielding soft flesh, which is why 33 states in the U.S. have a modified comparative negligence policy when it comes to car-pedestrian accidents. The thought of being severely injured in a car accident is an absolute nightmare. And knowing that this tragic could be caused because of someone else's carelessness is absolutely sickening. This means that there is more emphasis on the driver when it comes to liability, and as long as the fault of the pedestrian is 50% or less (51% bar rule) or 49% or less (50% bar rule), the pedestrian or qualified family member may make a personal injury or wrongful death claim against the driver. In its pure form, comparative negligence places the limit to the extent that the pedestrian is at fault at 99%, but the awards will still be reduced by this extent. Twelve states enforce this pure form of comparative negligence.
On the other hand, there are 5 states that maintain a pure form of contributory negligence when it comes to a pedestrian accident. This means that if the pedestrian is in any way, in the slightest degree, responsible for the accident i.e. failing to use the crosswalk, then no claim can be made against the driver, even if the driver was demonstrably negligent i.e. intoxicated. These states are Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Maryland and the District of Columbia. The burden of proof falls entirely on the plaintiff to show that the victim was in no way at fault for the accident, and that the driver was wholly negligent. In these states, the legal representation of the plaintiff must be exceptionally skilled in pedestrian accident cases.
In the states that follow the modified comparative fault rule, such as Pennsylvania which follows the 51% bar rule, the burden of proof is a little lighter, although the degree of fault of the pedestrian will reduce the award by that much. It still requires a competent lawyer to ensure just compensation as the driver's insurance lawyers will stretch the point as far as it will go to prove the victim's fault beyond the threshold given half a chance to avoid paying any claim.Read More
Business oil spill claims have ground to a halt as the federal court intervenes in the BP claim to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that many fraudulent, illegitimate or over-assessed business claims have been settled by Economic and Property Damage Class Action Settlement Agreement administrator Patrick Juneau.
The 5th Circuit judges have ordered District judge Carl Barbier to order the halt of all claims processing until investigations into these allegations have completed. This has serious consequences for those whose claims have already been processed and approved but not yet paid as well as for those with pending claims.
The court decision also has consequences for those who are hoping for a favorable BP claim appeal based on the hitherto generous mandate of BP that claims would not have to prove that the oil spill was the cause of economic losses. BP has since changed its tune as more and more claims came pouring in. The Settlement allows BP to challenge each and every claim, individual or business, and has succeeded in successfully denying a majority of the claims.
It is undeniable that the 2010 oil spill had a significant and disastrous impact on most individuals and businesses in the immediate and secondary areas servicing the coastal region surrounding the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. More than three years after the disaster, the environmental and health hazards continue to persist, causing many residents to relocate. Businesses are not so fortunate. Many who have invested in the area find themselves holding the bag with no way to pay their way out of their financial troubles, and had looked to the settlement agreement to bail them out.
The claimants, legitimate and otherwise, have no choice but to wait for the courts to finally resolve the issue and the claims processing resume. For those who are not part of the Settlement group or who have opted out may still make a claim under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) in the meantime. It is important to have competent legal representation for OPA and other claims to ensure rightful compensation.Read More
The penalties for criminal charges vary from state to state, but a criminal conviction whether in Texas or Massachusetts can pose serious hindrances to one's personal, financial and social life. According to the Houston-based Law Office of Kyle Sampson, being accused of a crime in Texas can become an untenable situation unless you have competent and experienced legal representation. The same holds true for any state in the US, so it is in anyone's best interest to avoid being convicted of any crime, such as cocaine possession.
Cocaine possession is the most serious of drug charges. It is considered a Class A category, keeping company with other controlled or illegal substances such as heroin, methadone, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). To be in mere possession (on a person or in premises controlled by a person) of the smallest amount of cocaine, even if it is just a plastic bag containing trace amounts of it, is enough to be charged with possession of cocaine. For larger amounts, the charges can be elevated to intent to distribute or to supply, which carry much heavier penalties than mere possession.
There are always defense to any criminal charge, including drug possession, but it all depends on how the case is presented that it will be considered by a court of law. In most cases, a competent defense lawyer would prefer that the charges are dropped or dismissed based on lack of evidence, a technical flaw in the arrest, or any circumstances which will cast doubt on the integrity of the evidence available to the prosecution. The dramatics of the court trial seldom go as popularized in television.
A good defense lawyer will stop the charges on its tracks as much as possible, but will be prepared to present a plausible defense in court if necessary. To do this, the lawyer must have the requisite knowledge of the law, the resources to produce the depositions and documents to prove the case, and experience in the court to pull it off. The alternative of engaging an inexperienced lawyer can have far-reaching consequences that may cost a defendant more in the long run.Read More

Letters of Recommendation
Sample Reference Letters
Reference letters vouch for a candidate's work ethic and dependability and can be the final clincher in getting the job after the interview.
Letters of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation are usually the last step in the hiring or acceptance process. Employers and graduate school programs operate on the premise that past behavior predicts future behavior OR past success is a very good predictor of future success.
All About Recommendation Letters
Ideally, letters should cover your academic and scholastic skills, research abilities and experiences, and applied experiences (e.g., co-operative education, internships, related work experience). Recommendation letters are usually very specific and are addressed to a specific individual versus a reference letter which may be more general and not addressed to a specific individual.
Requesting Letters of Recommendation
When applying for internships or jobs be prepared to supply the employer with several recommendation letters and learn about the best way to request such a letter.

We asked our CMMag Insiders on our facebook fan page this question: What are you planning for Halloween? Are you avoiding it on philosophical or no-time factors? Are you doing a fall festival or similar event? Hitting the neighborhoods to collect candy for your ministry? (just kidding) Share what you're doing and why!
Here's what we learned…
Jeannete and her church in Castroville, CA are having their 6th annual fall festival. TrentnCheryl and Betsy are having Operation Christmas Child Shoebox wrapping parties. Henry and his church had a pumpkin-carving party and then encourage families to be the best neighbors with the best candy on Halloween night. Brenna's family is going for "great neighbor" awards too! Tiffany's church is partnering with all the other churches in their community to "Light the Night." Joni and her church will enjoy a concert with Jana Alayra. Heather's church is serving hot chocolate and coffee to trick or treaters. Gary–10th year for a fall festival! Lisa (yeehaw) and her church are having a Hootenanny. Belinda is treating her community with a Treatsville trunk-or-treat and carnival. Susan's church is doing a trunk-or-treat also. Ellen, Brenna, Lymandia, Cassie, and Krishna are all throwing fall festivals. Lindsey's church had a Royal Princess and Mighty Warrior party. And Shannon is taking in all the candy that kids get trick-or-treating and their parents have them donate!

Server Crash Due to Polish Invasion
I quasi-apologize for those who had trouble accessing the site for much of Saturday morning. The photo that shall not be named had been picked up by a popular Polish site called Kotek who uniquely opted to simply post the link rather than show the image as well. This immediately caused tremendous site overload (so much so that the account was even temporarily suspended). With my great host's support, some changes were made to increase performance and to mitigate the service disruption from our visitors from Poland (who will still be able to see what they came for).

Stroke-Related Dementia
Stroke-Related Dementia Overview
Stroke ("brain attack") is a disease of the blood vessels in and around the brain. It occurs when part of the brain does not receive enough blood to function normally and the cells die (infarction), or when a blood vessel ruptures (hemorrhagic stroke). Infarction is more common than hemorrhage and has a number of causes; for example, a vessel (artery) supplying blood to the brain can become blocked by a fatty deposit (plaque), which can form clots and send pieces into vessels further in the brain, or these arteries become thickened or hardened, narrowing the space where the blood flows (atherosclerosis). In addition, clots can arise in the heart and travel to the brain. Permanent damage to brain cells can result.
The symptoms of stroke vary, depending on which part of the brain is affected.
Cognitive decline related to stroke is usually called vascular dementia or vascular cognitive impairment to distinguish it from other types of dementia. In the United States, it is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's Disease. Vascular dementia is preventable, but only if the underlying vascular disease is recognized and treated early.
People who have had a stroke have a 9 times greater risk of dementia than people who have not had a stroke. About 1 in 4 people who have a stroke develop signs of dementia within 1 year.
Vascular dementia is most common in older people, who are more likely than younger people to have vascular diseases. It is more common in men than in women.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal Online
October 1, 2012
Majewski majestic in Spartans win over Jacks
Starpoint can clinch a playoff berth with win at Ken East next Saturday.
By John D'Onofrio
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
The playoff hopes of one team were lifted, while the Section VI Class A postseason aspirations of the other drifted away like the free Army T-shirts that bazookaed up and over the Starpoint High School football stands.
Spartans junior tailback Evan Majewski followed his garnet and gray hogs pay dirt four times Saturday, leading Starpoint past visiting North Tonawanda, 48-7, before a large and enthusiastic crowd on Homecoming.
With the win, head coach Al Cavagnaro's Spartans improved to 3-1 in A North (3-2 overall), and most importantly, place their playoff destiny squarely in their own hands. A win at Kenmore East next week and the Spartans clinch a playoff spot.
"Our offensive line has dominated two weeks in a row," Cavagnaro said . "We rushed for 336 yards today and had 360 last week. It's 65 and his buddies," he added, pointing to Spartans senior behemoth No. 65 Steve Wilde, who had another big day on both sides of the ball.
"You couldn't ask for a better homecoming," said Wilde, a deserving candidate for the prestigious Trench Trophy.
Under sunny skies and the experienced eyes of Time Warner Cable television cameras and broadcasters for the first time in history (game will air at 8 p.m. Tuesday), the Spartans turned three Lumberjack turnovers into touchdowns, beginning with the opening kickoff, which junior pinball Matt Wetzel recovered at the Jacks' 39.
Five plays later and faithful Spartans senior back John Rudes (7 carries, 34 yards, TD; 1 catch, 38 yards) ran up the middle and into the end zone from three yards out through a hole Spartans' AD Tom Sarkovics could have driven his golf cart through, giving the hosts a 6-0 lead just 2:20 into the game.
Moments later, after NT went three and out, Majewski (27 carries, 164 yards, 4 TDs), capped a five-play, 63-yard drive by running in from three yards out. Senior quarterback Andrew Rankie (1-for-1, 38 yards) tossed a two-part conversion pass to Majewski to give the Spartans a 14-0 lead.
Both defenses stiffened, forcing punts, then late in the second quarter, the Jacks were poised to score as their talented sophomore quarterback Chris Woodard (8-for-15, 72 yards, TD) drove his team down to a first and goal at the Spartans' eight.
A short gain, a tackle by senior Bart Mazzara for no gain and a Wilde stop for a loss of two set the stage for the game's key play, a fourth and goal situation at the Starpoint 6, where sophomore Richard Duermeyer (6.5 tackles) sacked Woodard and the Spartans drove 85 yards to pay dirt, breaking the game open for good.
Starpoint drove 85 yards on just five plays, capped by Majewski's majestic run around the left side for a TD.
Starpoint senior Tony Hart recovered an NT fumble on the ensuing kickoff and on the very next play, junior fullback Julian Mott ran 15 yards up the middle for a TD. Majewski's conversion run made it 28-0.
NT finally got on board with under a minute to go in the half, driving 62 yards on 13 plays, capped by Woodward's well thrown pass in the corner of the end zone to senior receiver Ian Gilhousen (3 catches, 48 yards, TD). NT senior Luke Topolski added the point after kick, cutting the Spartans lead at halftime to 28-7.
Midway through the third, Starpoint drove 64 yards on six plays, as Majewski plowed in from a yard out.
Fourth quarter TD runs of five yards by Majewski and 11 yards by sophomore Austin Bratek, followed by two extra points by senior Connor Wells, rounded out the scoring.
Starpoint sophomore Richard Duermeyer had 6.5 tackles and a sack to lead the Spartans' defense. Wetzel also finished with 6.5 tackles
For the young, but talented Jacks (1-4 A North and overall), all post-season playoffs hopes have ended in 2012, but there's definitely hope for a brighter future for a team that features an outstanding sophomore quarterback and several other underclassmen who play above their years.
"We've got some growing pains right now, but I'm not going to use the excuse that we're young or we're injured. Starpoint did a great job against us today," said NT head coach Tony Truilzio.

Dozens of honorary readers celebrated Valentine's Day by reading books to elementary students across San Diego County.
Hosted by Rolling Readers USA and Mission Federal Credit Union, the second Share Your Love of Reading event raised awareness about the importance of literacy and reading aloud to children through a series of read-aloud sessions in classrooms at 15 sites throughout San Diego County.
"This is really helping a lot of students who might not be really excited about being in school and learning," said Wendy Williams, who is on the Board of Directors for Rolling Readers, a nonprofit organization that works with underprivileged children.
Every week throughout the academic year, Rolling Readers' Read-Aloud volunteers visit low-income schools and community sites to read to children. The nonprofit currently serves 6,100 children and has 205 volunteers at 43 schools, two libraries and the San Diego Center for Children.
In addition, Rolling Readers hosts book giveaways so children in the organization's Read-Aloud program can receive new books of their very own. Rolling Readers has given out more than 500,000 books since it was founded in 1991.
With the support of title sponsor Mission Federal Credit Union, this year the Share Your Love of Reading campaign is also a month-long online donation drive. Rolling Readers hopes to raise $100,000 by the end of February to help purchase books for the organization's book giveaways.
"Reading is that core skill that helps kids achieve all subjects," said Tricia Link, vice president of external affairs and community relations at Mission Federal Credit Union. "We just wanted to do whatever we could to help raise some money for Rolling Readers as well as create more awareness because they are just a fantastic nonprofit that works really hard."
Compared to 31 honorary readers during the inaugural event in 2012, this year, 43 elected and school officials, and local celebrities visited schools throughout the county.
Honorary readers included San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, Fox 5 Reporter Heather Ford, retired 10News Anchor Hal Clement, and radio personalities Frankie from Channel 933 and Haze from STAR 94.1, among many other local public figures.
Mayor Art Madrid and La Mesa-Mount Helix Patch editor Eric Yates also read to 2nd grade students at La Mesa Dale Elementary School.
"It's a great campaign to get the community onboard and express the importance of reading," said Williams, who encouraged the public to make donations. A donation of $20 helps Rolling Readers buy five books.
"It really makes a difference," she added. "It not only helps students as they grow to be adults, but it will also eventually help our community because they will be better citizens."
