In 2008, President Obama overwhelmingly won the youth vote--66 percent compared with Senator John McCain's 32 percent. But will be carry the same numbers this time around? In the final days of the Election 2012 campaign, student journalists at Hampton University's Scripps Howard School of Journalism explore the key issues important to youth voters in the battleground state of Virginia. Everleigh McNeil, Nakysha Haywood and Ballah Boakai report on how college-aged voters are responding to both President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney's solutions to students loan debt and unemployment.

President Obama and his GOP challenger Mitt Romney have campaigned in the battleground state of Ohio more than any other state this election season. However, neither candidate has spent much time in the Appalachian region of Ohio which is the poorest economic area and has the highest unemployment rate in the state. Journalism students Sandhya Kambhampati, Keara Vickers and Seaira Christian-Daniels of E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University examine how Ohio's Appalachia has become a blind spot and political casualty of presidential politics.

Essential Reads
If Mitt Romney wins the election, it will be because he ignored conservatives. After he won the primaries, many of the most prominent voices in the movement plead with him to run loud and proud as a conservative and to campaign overtly on conservative ideas. He never did that, and he's ending the campaign on a moderate note, a move his strategists believe will capture the disaffected Obama voters he needs to win the election.

A few months ago, a Leesburg middle-schooler began to lobby for a Gay Straight Alliance at Carver Middle School. Now, school board members are looking to shut that effort down.
The Lake County School Board is in the process of rewriting its policy on non-curricular school activities -- those activities that aren't in any way connected to a class.
But school board member Tod Howard, who is pushing for the rewrite, said the reason behind the change is not solely based on those efforts to bring a Gay Straight Alliance to Carver Middle School, although the timing does raise that question.
"I'm looking to make the best decision for the students as a whole, not just that one student, or that one group of people," he said.
Howard has been on the school board now for three years and says the policy on non-curricular clubs was written well before his tenure. Now that this push for a Gay Straight Alliance has begun, it's ample opportunity to review a policy that he thinks is not in the best interest of Lake County's youngest students.
Howard says, "When we start talking middle schoolers, they need to focus on academics. I'm not sure middle school is the place for those outlets."
Non-curricular clubs include anything that is not directly related to a class. Current non-curriculars include: bowling, cup stacking, photography, and maybe even year book.
The bottom line for Howard and other school board members is that, non-curricular clubs, such as a Gay Straight Alliance, only belong in high school, where social skills and critical thinking should be part of the overall curriculum.
"I think that's appropriate," Howard says.
School board member Bill Mathias says, "If the club was about bullying in its foundation, then we need to stop bulling. We don't need a club for that."

WP to unleash their Boks
Western Province boss Allister Coetzee is set to use his returning Springboks in Saturday's Currie Cup clash against the Sharks in Durban.
Lock Eben Etzebeth, flank Siya Kolisi, number eight Duane Vermeulen and centres Jean de Villiers and Juan de Jongh were all at WP training on Monday after returning from Rugby Championship duty with the Springboks.
WP are unbeaten after nine matches and are one point ahead of the Sharks on the table as they head into the final round of league matches before the semi-finals.
Coetzee admitted he faces a difficult choice as he considers his selection options ahead of this weekend's match which is crucial as the winner will finish at the top of the table, which means a possible home final if the team wins its semi-final.
"It is never an easy thing when you arrive at the stage of the season when it is time to change the team again to accommodate the Boks, and that is particularly so when the players have put their bodies on the line to take you to the top of the log with one game to play," he told Supersport
"But if you look at it another way, the Springboks are coming back, and you really can't penalise them for being good enough to be Springboks. I will always choose the best possible side, and everyone understands the policy and the culture we have developed.
"I think it is very important in terms of our culture to have honesty and integrity, and everyone knows it's not about individuals. The team comes first."
He said he spoke to the returning Boks and all of them are keen to play a part in their bid to defend their title.
Coetzee is likely to pick Etzebeth, De Jongh and Kolisi, who should start at blindside flank, with Deon Fourie remaining at openside where he performed well for most of the competition while Jean de Villiers and Duane Vermeulen are set to play off the replacements bench.

Hawks 83, Bucks 60
Las Vegas– The Hawks ended their two-game summer skid with an 83-60 W against the Bucks. It wasn't a thing of beauty offensively but it definitely was an impressive defensive effort. "We told them no layups," said Lester Conner. "We told them if somebody goes by you, you are coming out of the game."
– Richard Hendrix replaced RandMo in the starting lineup. "No reflection on Randolph," Conner said. "It's just that starting unit was getting us in bad holes. They were chasing us tonight."
– Tough offensive night for JC2 but he really worked on defense. He fought through screens and challenged everything. The Hawks can use as many guys as they can get who will do that. "If your shot is not falling, you have to do something else to impact the game," Crawford said.
– Crawford was just 3 of 12 from the field, including 0 for 2 on 3-pointers. He just didn't have it from the start. Said Conne: "He came out and shot a bad 3, and we told him, 'Hey, we are going to get you some shots. Don't worry about that, just keep focusing on the defense.' "
– It was a good sign that even with his troubles scoring Crawford kept attacking. He's a relentless rookie. "He's raw but he seems to get it done," Conner said. "It's going to be fun to watch Jamal Crawford and Jordan Crawford at the same time out there because they have similar attack modes."
– Teague bounced back from the poor game against the Spurs. He had 13 points, five assists and three turnovers. "I was trying to play my game," he said. "Yesterday I was too casual and had the turnovers. I was trying to be aggressive and get into the lane. I knew if I did that, it would open up a lot of things."
– Teague was really under control while driving to the basket. His quickness gets him into the lane and his leaping ability allows him to finish. Neither will be as easy once he plays against NBA squads but you can see the potential.
– Conner still wants to see Teague be more aggressive: "He ran the team pretty well. He made some good decisions. We are still looking for him to demand the ball more. Sometimes he can drift up and let someone else handle it and then we are all out of kilter."
– Teague said it was one fan on Twitter talking about him getting outplayed by a D-Leaguer that got him riled up. He said he's staying away from Twitter from now on.
– While Atlanta's defensive pressure pretty much reduced Milwaukee to passing around the perimeter until late in the shot clock, the Hawks went hard to the rack. They were rewarded with 30 free-throw attempts vs. 10 for the Bucks. "We wanted to be the aggressor," Crawford said. "I think that's the reason why we won."
– Hendrix is looking like a vet camp invite to me. He's tough to handle in the post. But he's not a good leaper and doesn't use his body as well as he could to clear out space for rebounds. Hendrix has just eight total rebounds in 59 minutes. "He's got some skills down there on the block but he tries to rebound with one arm," Conner said. "He wasn't coming up with enough rebounds. But overall he's a big body and you need guys like that in this league."
– Pape Sy (Achilles') was scratched for the second straight game.
– There's nothing to the rumors about a Shaq-for-Marvin sign-and-trade being close to going down. It seems an Atlanta radio station reported "unconfirmed rumors" that were the same unconfirmed rumors that were out there yesterday and had already been shot down. A Cleveland radio station picked up the Atlanta station's rumors, and then the Atlanta station started citing the Cleveland station. This circular, inaccurate reporting all led to one of the best tweets of all time.
– Well, blog people, I'm flying out of Vegas tonight and start vacation tomorrow. Family reunion in Chicago, followed by a few days back home in Louisville, then back to Vegas for a real vacation, and then some downtime in the A.

Good to see the team put up a W. Good to hear we've got some hungry kids fighting for a spot on the team. Teague does need some fuel for his fire. He needs to push hard to be the best he can be. We need a floor general, we've been searching since we let JTO go years back, maybe even since Mookie & Doc. It won't happen overnight. I'm rooting for him 100%. Just give 100% JT, all else will follow.
MC – what are the rest of the players doing this summer? I got bashed a few times prior when I asked, but surely our players have plans. Any interviews or comments about the upcoming season? Any news on specific skills or coaches our players are working on/with?
Still not on the Shaq train, unless it only involves cash to sign him. We need real solid pieces to lose Marvin, not Shaq. Barnes to announce tomorrow…or today depending on how you look at it. Says it's a surprise.

@ Najeh….lmao…you are too funny!! I'm glad that Teague looked better, but i must say that I am sold on Jordan Crawford. He will contribute greatly to the hawks. He has taken great shots even if they haven't went down. As for Hendrix, he just may be that 13th man on the bench, then again, if he makes the team, he may move up a little further. i am impressed with this game thus far. Go Hawks!!

"If your shot is not falling, you have to do something else to impact the game," Crawford said.
Jordan gets it. That's the mentality you HAVE to have in this league.
"Yesterday I was too casual and had the turnovers. I was trying to be aggressive and get into the lane. I knew if I did that, it would open up a lot of things."

July 16th, 2010
7:16 am
Since we're going all cheap, let's drop RandMo and give Richard Hendrix the job. He'll only cost around $800,000, and he won't be a threat to foul out every time he hits the floor.
As far as Teague goes, he'll get plenty of pushing in training camp and in the preseason. Bibby may be well past his prime, but he's not going to let his minutes go quietly in camp. That, and Jordan Crawford wants to play. If Jeff gets lackadaisical again, it will cost him game time…period.
July 16th, 2010
7:33 am
Well, hawks fan in new orleans just said it, what about big centers? we won't do nothing in playoffs without a true legit center. Also, Sund as a GM has proven he can't assemble a championship contender, just look at his previous stops to verify this statement. He is a journeyman GM. The hawks ASG should sell right now, look what Golden State just sold for $450 Million, get out of the way ASG and sell out.
July 16th, 2010
7:34 am
Big Ray,
I think we need a third string PG who is faster and more pesky than Bibby and who will push Teague to his maximum during practice.
Regardless of what Bibby may want to do in practice, the fact is that Teague will blow by him 90% of the times in practice without even using half of his speed.
Also, I think Teague must be aware that there will be someone breathing down his neck fighting for an opportunity.
Consequently, I would even take my chances with an underprivileged PG prospect that fits the above mold. Someone exactly as Jerrels who gave Teague fits on both ends.
That would allow the Hawks to have always in practice someone giving Teague a good run for his money AND for him to realize that although LD has bestowed upon him the responsibility of running the PG slot the distance between being a draft pick with a job and being a fringe player out of this league or struggling is quite small.
July 16th, 2010
7:38 am
With the way our off-season has gone, I think the best pickup for the Hawks has been our assistant coach Lester Connor.
"We told them no layups," said Lester Conner. "We told them if somebody goes by you, you are coming out of the game."
That sounds similar to what Larry Drew said (guard your man or else). But it will be interesting to see how our vets respond to the challenge.
Agreed. Bring in another PG who is hungry for the opportunity that Teague is getting. Someone who even if he is not that good offensively, he is willing to be a dog on defense. Is there a Mario West PG out there though?
July 16th, 2010
7:55 am
July 16th, 2010
8:22 am
Still no real sign of Joe recruiting, new investors buying in or ASG looking to sign anyone like they claimed when Joe signed. Guess they figure we have no memory. Problem is, we all do.
July 16th, 2010
8:33 am
A perfect fit at back up PG would be Javaris Crittendon, GT product who played with Mario and is a good passer. He'd really push Teague.
July 16th, 2010
8:35 am
Javaris would most likely come cheap. He is under pressure to prove to someone he's a good kid. Did he spend enough time in GT to make him feel like he's at home with his family watching? Decent idea of a PG on the cheap.
July 16th, 2010
8:35 am
They Lie!
July 16th, 2010
8:40 am
What do you want to see drmaryb
We've got
That leaves 3 slots?
Center, Center, PF
Kwame, Thomas, Aminu?
I'd still like to see Barnes.
July 16th, 2010
8:46 am
Javaris is from the ATL. He played AAU with Josh, Randmo and D. Howard. I remember him being interviewed after he was drafted by the Lakers and he said how upset he was that his hometown Hawks took A.C. Law over him. They said Law was a better shooter. He's on the cheap now and has alot to prove. Even if he doesnt start or get much playing time, just having him here will give us depth, talent and really push Teague everyday.
July 16th, 2010
8:47 am
Still woundn't mind trying Ajinca or Siler as a 7′ prospect.
July 16th, 2010
8:49 am
I wouldn't mind seeing barnes here. He's supposed to anounce his decision today. I also wouldnt mind taking a flyer on Kwame, just to take some of those Center minutes off of Al's back. Sorta like middle relieve lol.
July 16th, 2010
8:50 am
I'd give Washington whatever they wanted for McGee. Talk about long, athletic and can run. He's go a ways to go, but he's getting it.
July 16th, 2010
8:52 am
"We told them no layups," said Lester Conner. "We told them if somebody goes by you, you are coming out of the game."
Is there a Lester Conner jersey I can buy from the Hawks store?
July 16th, 2010
8:53 am
Javaris and Kwame would give us two kids with GA ties that might benefit from home cooking and hometown pressure to produce. What's your 3rd option to fill the team – Barnes, who after?
July 16th, 2010
8:55 am
McGee would be nice, but very expensive. Potentially worth trading for.
If Conner and Drew can stick that philosophy we'll win 60 games this season. Market that slogan, sell Jersey's and we'll look like the Chinese snapping up Yao and Yi jerseys!
July 16th, 2010
8:58 am
I'm good with Barnes, but condereing ASG isn't trying to go over the LT that last player would have to be a trade so they can use the 2.9m TA. Split that MLE between Javaris and Kwame and make good on the TA.

July 16th, 2010
9:02 am
Attitude or not, I would like to see Allen Iverson wearing a hawks uniform next year. He can score and is cheap. Made $625,000 last year.
Give Aminu a chance to earn a spot $650,000 or so. that leaves 3 million left to sign Brad Miller.
Centers would be Horford, ZaZa and Brad Miller

July 16th, 2010

Ant – the Celtics signed 3 guys who had given blood, sweat and tears for their teams for too long w/o support. They were respected, older veterans at the end of their careers when Allen and Garnett signed.
Folks just see Lebron and Wade as sellouts. Bosh has been suspect since ditching Tech early after doing nothing. They just don't appear to care all the time. Wade is definitely just in it for himself.
Garnett's heart is one of a kind! No one will question it.

@O'Brien, definitely agree on Connor…I'm liking everything I'm hearing from him. I like that the fact that he has high expectation for every player that steps on the floor. I like his aggressive style of play on defense. LD and Connor appear to be a great complement to one another.
We should definitely hold on to Marvin until LD and Connor gets a chance to work with him. He could be one of the most improved players on the team next season.
@Big Play Ray, ditto on replacing RandMo with Hendrix, I would also like to see Aminu make the squad he seems like a keep too.

They're like drugs – JUST SAY NO!

#6 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2009
The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been our flagship wine for more than three decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of structure and ageing potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and elevates flavor complexity.
From its cocoa and coffee layers to its fresh herb notes and voluptuous fruit flavors, this wine displays a balanced and graceful expression of mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine's dark plum and sweet fruit core is supported by vibrant, bright cherry aromatics, well-structured tannins, spicy oak and an earthy minerality.
Assertive herb, anise, blackberry and wild berry fruit is tight, firm, tannic and well-structured, picking up depth and length on the finish. Best from 2010 through 2016. 7,650 cases made. "

Spanky and friends still using the shore
Dec/12/11 08:18 AM
Volunteers also responded to two pups at Lincoln Park this past week. As long as there is a food source to support the now-weaned pups, they will continue to seek rest on shore. Please stay alert as you walk the beaches of Puget Sound and make sure to give us a call if you come across a seal pup or other marine mammal.
Craggy rocks spell trouble again for Spanky
Dec/03/11 10:42 AM
We want to remind the public that only certain authorized personnel from the NW Marine Mammal Stranding Network are allowed to handle a seal pup. It is a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act to touch, feed, move or otherwise disturb a seal. It can also be a dangerous endeavor as these are wild animals capable of inflicting a serious bite. If you see Spanky along the sea wall, please remember to keep your distance for his safety and call Seal Sitters. This little one seems to have a penchant for trouble and we want to keep him safe and healthy.
Spanky's thankful for rest
Nov/26/11 08:41 PM
We hope our volunteers and readers had a wonderful holiday. Please know how thankful we are (and Spanky and his gang, too) for your support.
No end in sight for West Seattle volunteers
Nov/15/11 08:38 PM
West Seattle's crazy seal pup season continues full bore. Today we had 4 pups in different locations. This morning at 5:30 our responder found a pup in a perilous location. Thankfully, the pup returned to Elliott Bay about 7:30 am. We were on the alert since he had hauled out in the same location last night. We are pretty certain the pup was Umbreon, looking very chubby and alert. About 10 am we located Spanky at his usual haulout and taped off the area around him. Even before we could get that perimeter established, the hotline received a call about a pup at Lincoln Park. One of our stalwart volunteers headed for the Park, found the thin pup and began stretching yellow tape between pieces of driftwood and stakes. The pup snoozed til the end of the day. Seal Sitters also investigated a report of a pup on the rocks below Salty's restaurant. We have yet to identify this pup who returned to Elliott Bay about 4:30 this afternoon after resting since early this morning. Finally, Umbreon hauled out again about 6pm, returning to forage about 8 pm.
What does this all mean? People are surprised that we still have pups hauling out, since "pupping season" is officially over in our area. However, weaned pups continue to need shoreline habitat to rest (as they will their entire lifetime) and they will come ashore near where they forage. It seems apparent that West Seattle has a pretty good food source of late to support a number pups. And it certainly helps that they have found refuge in a location where volunteers respond quickly to help them warm up, doze and recharge undisturbed.
Last year, seal pup Queen Latifah was still hauling out with regularity til late December. Seal Sitters is in the throes of a record breaking year for seal pups. So, volunteers, please keep using the calendar to sign up for shifts - we need your help!

Spanky's back in town
Nov/12/11 05:18 PM
A surprising number of people were out jogging and walking, apparently trying to get their exercise in before the impending rainstorm. Soon thereafter, a cold rain began falling as volunteers arrived to do their "seal sitting" shifts and talk to passersby. We received a number of very nice comments today, thanking us for doing the work we do. That encouragement is always so appreciated, especially when dedicated volunteers are standing out in dreary and challenging weather conditions. We were concerned that we had not seen Spanky since last Friday. He fell deep into an inaccessible hole late Thursday afternoon (where he spent the night), but was rescued about noon the following day, examined for injuries and returned to the Sound. Needless to say, volunteers were thrilled to see him - even swirling winds and bitter rain could not dampen our spirits today. We often joke among ourselves that there should be a 12-step rehab program for volunteers hopelessly addicted to seal pups. Then we just shrug and laugh because the truth is, none of us want to be cured! Spanky returned to the water late in the afternoon at high tide. Thanks to everyone who watched over him.
Seal superhero rescues Spanky
Nov/04/11 06:22 PM
We turned to WDFW Marine Mammal Investigations' biologist Dyanna Lambourn for her usual sage advice. She thought perhaps with a snare we could loop his back flippers and pull him up. So, that was the game plan put into action for this morning. Having spent a long and stressful night, Spanky was still trapped inside the hole at 6am, but was alert - a good sign. Read More...
Wiser pups choose safer haulouts
Nov/01/11 07:49 PM
New pup Joy spent Friday in the rain on a private beach south of Alki, while another pup slept safely on a platform offshore. Homeowners kept a watchful eye on the pup until she returned to the Sound late in the afternoon. We have responded to reports of two additional pups hauling out on private beaches stretching as far south as Brace Point, where many homeowners have voiced concerns about off leash dogs.
Off leash dog scares Abe at Lincoln Park
Oct/23/11 07:19 PM
We plead with people over and over to please keep dogs leashed near the beach and to respect the city ordinance that dogs are not allowed on any public beach. A dog's sense of smell is amazing - and one can just never predict how a dog will react when they discover a seal is on the beach. This is a good example of how a dog owner can overestimate the control they have over their pet and underestimate the pet's reaction in these situations. The dog owner was apologetic. We were very lucky today that this seal pup was not seriously mauled or killed. Had Abe been ill or trying to heal from an injury, he would not have been able to escape. Abe did not return to shore.
Seal pup Spanky visited his favorite rock again today, but returned to Puget Sound at high tide.
Seal Sitters get a respite today after dawn to dusk days
Oct/20/11 11:01 PM
Sly, who had been looking too thin and spending more and more hours on shore, finally returned to Elliott Bay early Tuesday morning. Since that time, he has not been observed on his favorite haulout rock. We're hoping that his many hours of rest has given him the strength to forage and pack on some desperately needed pounds. A small white pup who could be Sly has been observed along with several other pups fishing and lingering in the waters nearby. As pups are weaned and become thinner, their immune system is suppressed, making them vulnerable to parasites and viruses. Small fish seem to be plentiful now around West Seattle and Sly could use a second trip through the buffet line.
We have two additional newcomers: Noche who spent the evening on the south end of Alki Beach Sunday (our fourth pup onshore that day) and Abe who came ashore at Lincoln Park on Tuesday. This is one crazy pup season we are having this year - and the volunteers are loving it!
Pup-ulation explosion on shores of West Seattle
Oct/06/11 08:17 PM
This year, from August - October 5th (yesterday), we have already surpassed last year's five-month total: 35 different pups have now been observed and protected by our West Seattle volunteers! And October is typically one of our busiest months, so we can only guess how many pups we'll have by the end of the year.
Our 35th pup is shown in the photo here. Nicknamed Spanky, this very robust and alert pup found a nice rock to rest upon before the incoming tide's waves sent him swimming off into the Sound. This is just the kind of round pup with a thick blubber layer that we want to see this time of year, when too many are becoming thinner and trying to survive. Blacky, who has been using Lincoln Park for several weeks now, has become noticeably thinner the past two sightings. Seal pup Aquarius, who hauled out at Constellation Park for two days in a row, was rescued from that beach Friday, but died at PAWS. We cannot stress enough that seal pups need to rest and warm up undisturbed in order to maintain their strength and keep their immune system resilient.

Utah Jazz: Threat of getting cut always looms for fringe players
By Aaron Falk
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Oct 15 2013 12:45PM
This time there was a chartered plane waiting to take him to Idaho instead of spending hours on a bus trekking along Interstate 84.
The arena was the same, though he dressed in an unfamiliar locker room.
The fans at CenturyLink Arena in Boise remembered him, cheered loudly when he took the floor. But this time, instead of the Idaho Stampede jersey he wore for six months last year, Justin Holiday wore the colors of the Utah Jazz.
"This is what I've been working for pretty much all my life," Holiday said.
So with each October day, the 24-year-old swingman moves either a step closer to realizing a dream or a step closer to disappointment.
The Jazz opened training camp with 20 men on the roster, knowing that number would be whittled down to at least 15 by the end of the month. A dozen or so players have guaranteed contracts, leaving the rest to fight for just one or two spots.
One man, Dwayne Jones II, already has been cut.
"It's a difficult thing," Jazz coach Ty Corbin said Tuesday morning as Holiday took jump shots nearby. "A guy is here trying to fulfill his dream. The opportunity is in front of him [but] you have to come to a point for this story, this chapter in the story. ... It's part of it. It's a nasty part of the business. You just wish the guy well and try to encourage him as much as you can. Hopefully he'll continue on the path and look forward to the next opportunity."
There are breaks, both ways.
When starting point guard Trey Burke fractured his finger in a preseason game against the Clippers, requiring surgery that will sideline him for at least a month, backup Scott Machado went from a fringe player to someone seemingly assured a spot on the opening night roster.
"I'm just here still working, trying to take opportunities as they come," said Machado, a star at Iona, who bounced between Houston, Golden State and the D-League last year.
Brian Cook, a nine-year veteran of the league, has seen it break the other way plenty of times.
Cook, a first-round pick out of Illinois in 2003, backed up Shaquille O'Neal in Los Angeles. He's started, then been relegated to the bench for months at a time.
Cook found himself fighting for a roster spot with the Washington Wizards last season. He made it to the Oct. 30 deadline.
"I felt like I made the team," he said. "My numbers were good."
With a number of injuries at center, the Wizards instead kept 7-footer Earl Barron.
"It's part of the business," Cook said. "With us, our names are just on the ticker. It's just like any other job. You just have to keep working, keep grinding."
Cook, who believes his experience, size and outside shooting would help the Jazz, signed with a team in Puerto Rico but would like nothing more than a return to the NBA.
"I want to squeeze a few more years and rock it until the wheels fall off," he said.
Each player fighting for a roster spot understands what's at stake and the challenge ahead. The Jazz have added extra seating to the bench area where Holiday, Cook, Lester Hudson, Dominic McGuire and Mike Harris sit during preseason games, and minutes are scarce for the players who are desperately trying to catch their coaches' eyes.
"I just know I always have to be ready," Holiday said. "I know the situation I'm in. Everybody knows we have all these guys and what we're all trying to do."
For now, no final decisions have been made. Every player still in camp has a chance to make the team, Corbin said. "They're still here for a reason."
But with the departure of Jones, who played all of 3 preseason minutes for Utah before being cut, players know how quickly things can change and how fast approaching the 30th is.
"He was here one second and the next he was gone," Holiday said about Jones.
Then he added, "We're all thinking and hoping we're not the next one."

I give you a virtual salute young man. Well done!
TEAMS: Virginia Tech Hokies
From Larry Brown Sports:
Virginia Tech cornerback Antone Exum showed us what the Christmas spirit is all about.
The junior second-team All-ACC cornerback is preparing for his team's Russell Athletic Bowl game against Rutgers on Friday. His team took a Christmas Eve trip to a local Best Buy where each player was given a $470 gift card to spend in the store. Instead of buying gifts for himself, Exum decided to spend the money on a few kids he saw in the store.
"Spent my $470 Dollar Best Buy Gift Card From The Bowl Game on These Three Kids I Met from Bahamas I Met In The Store!! Made Their Christmas!!" Exum wrote on his Instagram account.
According to The Roanoke Times, Exum had some headphones picked out for himself and friends before deciding to use the money on the kids instead.
"It was really all wants," Exum said of the items he was thinking of buying. "It wasn't anything that I needed or anything, so I just put it back and tried to help some kids out."
Exum says he came across the kids when they were playing a demo version of PlayStation 3. He offered to take them on a shopping spree. The kids apparently were in disbelief, and they kept asking him if they really could pick out whatever they wanted.
The kids — two brothers from Florida and a cousin visiting from the Bahamas — ended up with a PlayStation 3, some controllers for the system, some PS3 games, and a Blackberry. The items totaled more than $500, so a few of Exum's teammates chipped in to help cover the cost.
Why did Exum decide to use his money on some strangers?
"It just came down to at the end of the day, I was blessed to have a lot of fortunate Christmases when I was a kid," Exum told The Roanoke Times. "So I hope that every kid deserves to have those perfect Christmases.
"So when I had the chance, I wanted to give those kids the chance to shop in my cart and get anything they wanted and hopefully it's a Christmas that they won't forget. And I know that it was a Christmas that I won't forget because I won't forget those smiles and the excitement on their faces when I told them they could get whatever they wanted in the store."
What a fantastic gesture by Exum. Can you believe he is only 21 years old and putting the happiness of others ahead of himself? Exum has already graduated from Virginia Tech. It's safe to say the finance major sure knows how to put his money to good use.

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete
During a sweltering summer in New York City, 13-year-old Mister's hard-living mother is apprehended by the police, leaving the boy and nine-year-old Pete alone to forage for food while dodging child protective services and the destructive scenarios of the Brooklyn projects. Faced with more than any child can be expected to bear, the resourceful Mister nevertheless feels he is an unstoppable force against seemingly unmovable obstacles. But what really keeps the pair in the survival game is much more Mister's vulnerability than his larger-than-life attitude.

ts(s) Spring Summer 2011
Japanese brand ts(s) has been causing quite a stir both online and at stores, becoming a favourite for all who come to know their goods. Still a niche label due to the scarceness of retailers who carry their items, along with the steep price tag, it has been making its way into the Western fashion scene. The man behind it all, Takuji Suzuki, lends his name to the brand, and aims to provide a contemporary feel to a unique traditional style, by mixing several influences and establishing dichotomies among them (sports, military or workwear). The foundations for each of his pieces are outstanding fabrics and craftsmanship, which are then perfectly complemented by original cuts, patterns and details.
For me, ts(s) is all about statement pieces. They do offer a few basics, such as great oxford shirts and tees but don't expect to build a wardrobe around them. Where they really shine is with unexpected items, bearing bold patterns, textures and lengths which definitely add a new life to any look, setting it apart from whatever "by the book" label you might want to place it in. By successfully doing so while providing exquisite quality, they are slowly building a reputation as one of the most promising high end brands around. Here are a few looks and pieces from their SS 2011 collection.

There are two targets for hatred in the sordid storyline of infidelity when a man steps out on his wife: the up-to-no-good man who cheats and—unless she's none the wiser that he's attached—the up-to-no-good woman he cheats with. The reaction is almost involuntary. She's wrong, he's wrong, next page. But venom is usually reserved in especially large quantities for the mistress, for some reason.
My guess is because it's easier to wag the finger of blame at the imposter and give the do-wrong male involved a pass for "being a guy." Which is, in the minds of level-headed women, infuriating and quite lame because a gal shouldn't be saddled with the Hester Prynne treatment simply because she's the female half of the pair of cheaters. Boo hiss.
But there's an increasingly outspoken cadre of ladies who are emerging to tell their stories and proclaim that they're OK with being the mistress. They don't expect their jumpoffs to leave their wives—in fact, they don't want them to. They like the stability of their arrangements but appreciate the freedom to do what they want when they want. It's not "relationship" in the conventional sense, but they're happy siphoning off someone else's household, sometimes openly.
Take, for instance, this confessional post on Ebony.com, which is pretty interesting. It's an as-told-to story from a woman who has been having an affair with a married man for the past 15 years and says she can hold her head high because she's satisfied being the other woman. She's tried relationships of her own, she explains, and has been burned and burnt out from the emotional devastation and disappointments of failed romance.
Fifteen years as a mistress, though? That affair has lasted longer than plenty of marriages. Sheesh.
The arrangement she has now allows her to go out and have fun and be catered to and doted on and do all of the things she might do as part of a real couple, except she doesn't have the obligation to make it work and ask questions of herself like she would if she wasn't the other woman.
To a degree, I can empathize with her disenchantment with finding that special man and getting married and doing the whole happily ever after thing. It's so idealistic when you're a kid, like she said. It seems so simple. Then you go through that first heartbreak, which is usually the absolute most devastating, and then the subsequent ones, which ain't no cakewalk either, and lose faith in and surety about love each time. It chips away at you.
But that doesn't justify the pure selfishness of cheating, the devastation it imposes on whole families—including kids who have nothing to do with their parents' unchecked libidos—and the cycle of mistrust and heartbreak it creates in other women. It's looking out purely for self and inasmuch as I can understand someone's disillusionment with love and marriage, that doesn't give anyone carte blanche to make innocent victims of the wife and kids who are none the wiser. She really isn't doing herself any favors, either. Couch time for the homewreckers in 3, 2, 1…
Do you think the so-called "man shortage" is making would-be wives settle for being mistresses?

Women who think like that are disgusting. The lowest of low. They don't even deserve to be called "women". It's called respect. Have some for his wife and his kids. Have some for the man. Have some for yourself.
If my man cheated on me, I would make his life miserable not end it!
If my husband ever cheated on me, I would not blame the women. Yes, she should have respect for herself but if that is the type of relationship she wants then she is having respect for herself. The only person to blame is your own husband, no one else owes you any loyalty. And no, I have never been the other women so that's not why I am defending them, which I'm really not but we now live in a society where every one is all about "me" so why is this any different? Marriage is something that many people no longer believe in and since most people no longer have respect for marriage even for themselves, why would they have respect for someone else's.
The fault lies with the married man, always. Yes, I woman may work as hard as she can to sleep with a married man, but that doesn't mean he has to give in if he loves his wife and family. There should never be any cheating as long as there's open communication.
I have no respect for a woman that knowingly goes after a married man, especially a married man with children.
If they want to be the other woman, then try finding a polygamist where they are fine having more than one wife and the wife is fine having a sister wife.
But to go after a person who has a family, it's just shameful, disrespectful and selfish as hell. Why is it that noone understands what happens when children are stuck with the bad end of the stick, along with the faithful wife. If you have children and a wife, you have made a big commitment and going back on it, dramatically changes the lives of the other people invlolved and hardly ever in a good way.
Men that do this are just as dispicable to me as the "other woman" who does it. Especially if she know's he's a married man with children. Fucking homewreckers! They should be ashamed for what they have done. If he lied to her and told her that he was single, that is a different story.
What?!? That's insane, there's no way that woman is actually happier that way than in a legitimate relationship. How sad for her, and everyone involved.
It all has to do with upbringing and what the husband actually told the mistress. Coming from a family where my dad's cheated on my mom since I was 2, a great majority of those women thought my dad was a) divorced, b) separated or c) single parent. It sucks, but my mom said that she felt it was her fault because they "hadn't done anything in years". It broke my heart to hear my mom saying it was her fault but sadly, when it comes to physical intimacy, men are primal creatures and if they don't get it at home they'll find a way to get it somewhere else. Women are emotional creatures, if we're ignored or mistreated then most likely a woman would run to the arms of another man. So much blame can be placed on a mistress because of what the man tells them. However, if they do know, then they are vile creatures who need years of therapy. You'd figure growing up seeing that I would be bitter and think like these women. But I'm not. I believe in happy endings from the bottom of my heart and I am madly in love with my fiancee. I can't say I've emerged unscathed, but I can say that it taught me a lot about maintaining your relationship whether emotionally or physically.

A MSLT is always performed the day after an overnight sleep study. The purpose of this study is to assess the sleepiness of your child after an overnight study in which the quality of sleep has been monitored. Your child will be awakened by 6:30 a.m. so that the first nap can begin between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m.
The electrodes that were placed on your child for the overnight study will remain but some adjustment or reapplication may be necessary in the morning. The MSLT study is run at different intervals during the day, approximately every two hours from the first "nap." You and your child should plan on being in the Sleep Center until approximately 5 p.m.
Your child should wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows the pant leg to be raised. Between nap times, you should have activities available, such as homework, reading materials or music to keep your child from getting bored. Your child will not be allowed to sleep between naps.
Two meal vouchers, each valued at $5, will be provided for your child during his or her stay in the Sleep Center. These vouchers are only redeemable in the Hospital cafeteria.
If your child is on medications for neurological disorders or excessive daytime sleepiness, please notify us by calling the Sleep Center at 215-590-3703. Please don't let your child consume foods or beverages containing caffeine on the day of the study.

We commend Psystar for pushing ahead with its mission to sell its own PCs with Apple's Mac OS X operating system. We're also impressed by its continuing efforts to ensure reliability. And although the OpenPro is a better deal than any PC currently offered by Apple, you can get a faster PC overall from traditional Windows vendors.
Pricing not available
Its hardware isn't made by Apple's design team, it will likely never work as a full member of the greater Apple ecosystem, and one ill-intended software update could turn it into a $750 brick. Get past all of that, and you'll find Psystar's OS X-based Open Computer a fast and otherwise compelling lower midrange desktop.
Pricing not available
The Supreme Court has denied Psystar's request to review an injunction against it set by a lower court in 2009 and upheld last September.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit says that Psystar infringed Apple's copyrights related to Mac OS X.
Psystar's Open(Q) desktop uses Apple's new Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system
Essentially, filing has pressed the fast-forward button on the copyright proceedings and minimized what it could owe Apple.
Apple amended its lawsuit against Mac clone maker Psystar to allow for the possibility that other individuals or companies are supporting Psystar's activities.
Review of Psystar's OpenPro, OS X-based custom PC.
Apple seeks not only damages and any profits Psystar has earned, but also a recall of all Open Computers sold, according to a copy of the complaint seen by CNET News.
After spending a month with Psystar's Open Computer, which runs Mac OS X in defiance of Apple's licensing policies, the question comes up: what makes a Mac a Mac?

And guess what... the mount dropped.
I wasn't all that happy. I prepared for some serious grind and it drops on a first visit?
Doesn't feel like it was hard earned :(((

THURSDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Low-income smokers light up less often when cigarettes come with a high price tag and homes have a smoke-free policy, according to a new study.
Tobacco use among low-income people remains high, the researchers said, but their findings could help shape public policies aimed at smoking cessation.
"What is important is that clinicians need to emphasize social norms concerning tobacco use and should encourage and discuss strategies for adopting smoke-free homes among all smokers," said the study's first author, Dr. Maya Vijayaraghavan, assistant clinical professor in the department of family and preventive medicine at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine.
"Additionally, there is a lot of interest in raising cigarette prices to reduce smoking," Vijayaraghavan said in a university news release. "While we have evidence that moderate increases reduce smoking behavior in all income groups, it is important to match such a policy with support to help lower-income smokers to quit successfully."
The study of U.S. Census Bureau data, which was published in the Oct. 17 issue of the American Journal of Public Health, suggested that people of all income levels smoke less when a pack of cigarettes costs $4.50 or more, said principal investigator John Pierce, professor and director of population sciences at the university.
"Living in a state where the average price paid for cigarettes is low ($3.20 or less per pack) means that all smokers, regardless of income, will smoke a lot more than those who live in a state with higher prices," Pierce said.
The researchers also found that having a smoke-free home not only curbs tobacco use, but also helps prevent a relapse among those trying to quit.
"Price is a deterrent to smoking, but successful quitting -- 90 or more days -- was associated in this study only with a smoke-free home," Pierce said.
The researchers said low-income smokers are less likely to have smoke-free policies at home since it's often the case that more than one person in the home smokes.
They noted, however, that anyone serious about quitting should consider a smoke-free rule in their home.
Vijayaraghavan added that another way to deter smoking would be to boost regulation of secondhand smoke in public housing. "This may change norms around smoking among low-income populations living in public housing," she said.
For the study, the researchers examined information on 150,000 adults from a national survey on tobacco use conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau between 2006 and 2007. The participants provided information on their income and smoking habits.
