According to Bill Babcock, the associates with the company's Santa Cruz office chose to "give where they live" as part of Red Day — the company's annual day of service.
"The whole office comes, everyone balances their time," Babcock said. "We give and renew and donate our time to a community project."
This year, he said, the staff opted to work to support Community Bridges' preschool in recognition of the work that the organization does to help people throughout Santa Cruz County.
"They do such a good job in the community," Babcock said.
The Red Day event, now in its sixth year, advertised several months ago that the Keller Williams staff was looking for a project, Babcock said. Community Bridges stood out.
"We looked at seven or eight projects before we narrowed it down to this one," he said. "We looked at what they needed and we said 'Yeah, lets do this.'"
Beginning before 9 a.m. on May 8, Keller Williams' 75 staffers arrived throughout the day at the preschool to spend the day painting, fixing fences, building a garden, installing new carpeting, and renovating the kitchen.
"It was an all-day event, it was incredible," said Maia Mosher-D'Andrea, director of the Community Bridges Children's Center. "We ended up getting a ton of new stuff and it was amazing."
Mosher-D'Andrea said that the Keller Williams staff had not only donated their time, but had also contacted clients in search of items or materials to donate.
As a result, she said, the center now has a new microwave, a new fridge, a new dishwasher, new paint, and new sand and woodchips in the play area.
"A coat of paint is just a coat of paint," Mosher-D'Andrea said. "But, for us, it changed the whole feel of the center."
She said that the community support that the center has gotten since opening has been key — particularly as it works to gain recognition and create an identity within the community it serves.
"We got a lot of people who really care about this place and it means a lot," Mosher-D'Andrea said. "Having them come in and do a ton of cleaning and organizing really solidifies that change — it's a world of difference."

NOM ally Louis Marinelli: Your marriage isn't a marriage unless I say it is
August 02, 2010
By Adam Bink
Louis (hi, Louis!) has done it again. Here's his post responding to the picture I posted yesterday of a couple married in Iowa (h/t Good as You) (bolding mine)
We are going to Sioux City because we are holding a rally there on Tuesday to stand up for geniune marriage between a man and a woman. I say geniune, and I've made this point before, because a piece of paper doesn't make you married. A piece of paper gives you access to a series of benefits afforded to married couples but it doesn't make you married.
I say this because of this picture taken by one of our stalkers over at the NOM Tour Tracker.
It's a sign held by one of our opponents today in Des Moines (we held a good rally there earlier today at th State Capital) was holding a sign that said she was married to her parner for 9 months and was thanking the State of Iowa for that.
These people are not married.
Marriage is between a man and a woman and taking something and molding it into the shape of marriage and then giving it the name of marriage doesn't make it marriage! It is merely a mockery of marriage and that is what these so-called "same-sex marriages" amount to.
What this reasoning amounts to is that institutions are always static. No doubt, in the world of such activists, extending voting rights to African-Americans or women doesn't make them voters, and extending citizenship to undocumented immigrants doesn't make them Americans. After all, you can take the right of the vote, which was originally intended for whites only, and extend it to African-Americans or women, but that doesn't make them voters, right? And to Louis, marriage is between a man and a woman because that's the way it always has been. Because in the history of the world, institutions like voting or citizenship or marriage have never been, you know, expanded or anything.
I'm also fascinated by the view that personal views triumph over civil law. As Jeremy Hooper writes:
[Louis' piece is] A body of thoughts that really tells you everything you need to know about the anti-marriage equality movement. Because here we have a jurisdiction that does, empirically, have civil marriage equality on a state level. Civil marriage, we will remind you, is the only kind of marriage equality for which the organized LGBT activist movement is fighting. And it's in place. Right now. Today. In Iowa. Two men or two women can go to the city hall and get a license.
Yet Louis Marinelli, based on nothing but his own personal faith, says, "Nope, don't think so."
Since Louis reads our little blog here, I have two questions for him:
1. Was President Obama born in the United States?
2. Does his birth certificate from the Hawaii Department of Health documenting his birth in Honolulu make him a American?
I'm looking forward to seeing if Louis (a) is a birther, but more interestingly (b) believes a U.S. birth certificate merely "gives you access to a series of benefits", or actually makes one an American. Let's see how far his logic goes. We'll await your response, Louis.
In the meantime, I have news for him. His views on what do and do not make a marriage can apply to him and his significant other. That's his business- and that's as it should be. The rest of us seek the freedom to marry under civil law. Live and let live, Louis.

The purse is a little narrow to fit all of my items, but after a few days I got used to the size. I have received many compliments, it is a very cute and unique design. There are a lot of different zippers and compartments inside which is great for organization. The green color is really fun for spring. The 4 star rating is for the color not being true to the image on the site, it seems like they used a very bright light to photograph the purse.

Very cute I like it even better than I expected to. It seems to be well made even though it's not leather. Definitely worth the price.

In a medium pot, bring onion, carrot, celery,
bay leaf, and lentils to a boil. Reduce to a
simmer and cook until lentils are tender, about
25 minutes. Drain. Season with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil and lemon juice. Stir in
arugula and cover to keep warm. Meanwhile,
heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange fillets in a baking
dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt
and pepper. Cover with foil and bake until
cooked through, about 16 to 18 minutes. Serve
with lentils and squeeze with lemon juice.
On the "intro" page (http://www.wholeliving.com/photogallery/action-plan-week-1-recipes#slide_6) it says "During the first week of detox, split each serving into two, or eat the salmon and lentils a few hours apart." To "split each serving into two", does that mean eat 1/2 serving of the whole recipe? Also, to "eat the salmon and lentils a few hours apart", does that mean eat the salmon and then eat the lentils later? This is very confusing!Reply
I used two cups of faux chicken broth, brought to a simmer with the veggies and lentils, and it came out perfectly- no need to drain, I stirred in the arugula and it wilted down and was amazingly delicious. Also, I used red lentils.Reply
This may be obvious, but are you supposed to simmer the lentils without water?Reply
Use your calorie counter or go on line to get the full counts of everything.Reply
Anybody have a guess as to calories on this dish? thanks!Reply
Anybody have a guess as to calories on this dish? thanks!Reply
I am vegetarian. How can I substitute Salmon with anything vegetarian with same benefitsReply
Try using 2 cups of water. Do not drain. Also, you will need to cook the lentils longer, probably 40-45 minutes.Reply
Ok so the amount of water is not listed. Thanks kabradle, I'm going to make this for lunch tomorrow.Reply
I made this tonight for dinner, and it was really great! I'm so glad I started the 28-Day Challenge because I never would have made this otherwise!Reply
I made this for dinner tonight, and it was great! I found pre-cooked lentils in the produce section of my grocery store, and that saved a little time since they just needed to be warmed. I'm so glad I signed up for the 28-Day Challenge, because I never would have made this otherwise!Reply
I made this tonight and added 3.5 cups of water and that seemed to work. This was a tasty recipe!Reply
Am I missing something? wouldn't this need water for cooking the lentils??Reply

Inline answers in the notification bar
From Xianhang Zhang: in the notifications, if someone has written an answer to a question you followed, the answer should be viewable from the front page, instead of having to click on the question to view the answer, much like "View diff" when someone edits an answer. A demo:
Step 1: I see a notification that there is a new answer
Step 2: I can see the answer without having to click on the question:
Histograms for survey questions
Consider any question whose answer summary would most likely be a list of items. If so, turn the answer summary into a histogram so that users can just upvote existing items, or add a new entry.
Thanks for Jens Wuerfel's post about these kind of ideas.
Tooltip to follow someone from the feed
Like the tooltip that appears when you hover over the topic, have the same control for people.
Review question and move on, in one click
To keep things moving along, I'd love to combine the Review Question action and Next Question actions.
Mute a question
As much as I love Mark Hughes' answer about becoming Batman, I really don't need to see every single time one of my connections upvotes it, just because I did four months ago. I want to be able to block individual questions from my view (even if I follow them) because I'm just tired of seeing them. As a power user, my feed is getting cluttered; just show me the new stuff.

Comfortable fitting plug great choice

- Pretty good Review by Matt
The upper edge of the insertable section is a a little bit sharp and is only noticable when removing it. Not bad, but you surely have to take your time so that it doesn't hurt too bad when removing it. I took my dremel to it and smoothed it out. Also, the insertable is not in the center of the glans ring, so it does not match your anatomy, but it is easly bent to the right angle for a perfect fit. If you are willing to tweak this one a little bit, it will be a good plug for you.

- nice item Review by Kevin
Solid item w/ full feel, since I'm new to this the circumference is good and should prepare me for the next level, which I cannot fit yet.

- quite satisfied Review by electro pup
great high quality device. GLans ring was too small so I ordered larger glans ring at same time. Using an alligator clip it can be easily used for electrical play. Cleans up nicely .

- OK Review by first time user
Glans ring to small...replacement ring ordered does not "snap on" to head hook at all. So I'm assuming that none of the replacement rings actually reattach to the head hook...beware if you don't fit the smaller ring!
Quality of the product is best value for the money.

- Untitled Review by bbrf033
A very good all around choice for daily wear, and I really recommend it . It is short compared to most, but the glans ring and connecting loop are of very heavy gauge giving this guy some real heft. It is comfortable to wear and gives a decent gravity pull. Like all of the ring type plugs, the insertable part sits dead center of the ring. If you look at your member, the urethra is at the very bottom of the shaft. The alignment should be corrected to reflect anatomy.

i was hoping for a bit more heft -- and i need a larger diameter -- but it is of good quality and as shown.

Need larger Glans ring, 1/8 inch or 30mm inside diameter. Wish it was made with through hole. Otherwise good quality

From luggage to tickets and passports, there is plenty to think about when heading to the airport -- but travelers may want to keep car-jacking in mind now that there have been two incidents at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in the past week.
Two cars were taken from Terminal One in the past seven days, and the crooks clearly weren't worried about airport security even though police are constantly patrolling the terminal to look for anything suspicious.
Anyone who has been to the airport knows the pressure to keep things moving is always on. Most drivers are stopped for less than a minute, but it doesn't take much time to steal an unoccupied car that is already running.
It happens thousands of times a day across the country. Someone is either picked up or dropped off at the airport, and the driver opens the trunk, grabs the luggage and gives loved one a hug while the car is running -- often with the door wide open.
That's exactly what happened on Friday when a brazen car thief jumped into the driver's seat and took off, leaving the owner stunned.
In that case, police used the victim's cell phone to track the car to ST. Paul, where they arrested 25-year-old Samuel Wallin, of White Bear Lake. Wallin has a rap sheet that includes drunk driving and drug charges as well as convictions for burglaries.
Police say it only takes a matter of seconds for someone to steal a car in that situation. On Wednesday, a second car was stolen near the baggage claim area. It was never recovered and investigators are still looking to see if the two cases are connected.
"It's a very rare occurrence," said Melissa Sovronski, a spokeswoman for the airport. "We're not concerned that this is constituting any kind of trend."
Scovronski said she couldn't remember the last time an unattended car was stolen from the terminal curb and she doesn't think there's a reason to change the way pick-up and drop-off works -- but she did say it's not a bad idea to turn off your car.
"Most people know we don't want you to linger," she said. "You can't leave your car her, you can't go in and so forth -- but honestly, I don't think people need to worry about coming out here and opening their doors and doing what they normally do."

Press Release
May 31, 2012

Hillsborough Educators Join with First Book and Community
Supporters To Launch Partnership That Will Provide Free Books to Local Students
Leaders of National Organizations Gather with Students and Educators
At Crestwood Elementary School; Event Includes Reading by Award-Winning Children's Author
TAMPA, Fla.—Leaders of organizations working together to get free books into the hands of Hillsborough County children spent this morning at Crestwood Elementary School, where they gave a book to every student.
The Hillsborough Classroom Teachers Association is partnering with First Book, a national nonprofit organization that has distributed more than 90 million new, high-quality books to kids from low-income families across the country. The First Book partnership with Hillsborough educators—launched today during student assemblies and a classroom reading by an award-winning children's author—is one of several pilot projects being developed with the American Federation of Teachers and its affiliates across the country.
AFT Secretary-Treasurer Lorretta Johnson and First Book Executive Vice President Chandler Arnold joined with HCTA leaders and local school officials for events at Crestwood that included two student assemblies and a visit to a fifth-grade classroom, where children's author Erica S. Perl read from one of her books.
"We know that having books of their own at home is so important to instilling the love of reading that starts children on the path of lifelong learning," said Johnson. "Kids won't become readers if they don't have books.
"The AFT and Hillsborough CTA members are working with First Book to level the playing field so that all kids can have books of their own," Johnson added.
"More than anyone, teachers and school staff understand the transformative power of books," said Arnold, who introduced Perl to students at the assemblies. "At First Book, our mission is to support teachers by helping them get the resources they need to turn their students into readers. Thanks to this partnership, kids in Hillsborough County will have new books of their own."
Events at Crestwood began with Perl telling students during morning announcements over the school's intercom system about the assemblies and the book distribution. At two assemblies—one for second-graders and the other for fourth-graders—national and local education leaders helped hand out new books, which students had selected with their teachers from hundreds of titles available through First Book.
"Hillsborough County educators jumped at the chance to be part of this partnership with First Book, which will expand their students' access to books in their homes," said HCTA President Jean Clements. "Being able to have books—especially ones they can keep as their own—instills a love of reading that helps make children lifelong learners."
Johnson and Clements noted that the project has drawn financial backing from community supporters, including Baron Craiger, of Horace Mann Insurance; Jack Sardegna, of AXA Equitable; and Melissa Erickson, president of the Hillsborough PTA. All three were recognized during the student assemblies at Crestwood.
In a fifth-grade classroom at Crestwood, author Perl read from her book When Life Gives You O.J. Perl also signed a copy of the book for each student in the class.
Others participating in today's launch events included Crestwood Elementary Principal Rosalind Daigneault, Crestwood reading coach Mary "Genna" Linkous, Crestwood PTA President Jacqueline Rodriguez and Leto High School Principal Victor Fernandez.

PAW PAW (WKZO) -- He said he just couldn't hold it in anymore.
A Van Buren County Deputy was typing up a report when he looked out the window at the Sheriffs offices and spotted a man relieving himself on the side of the building.
He walked out and asked what the man from Holland thought he was doing, and he said he was there to bond out a friend but he just couldn't wait.
The man had just been released from the Ottawa County three hours before and had apparently stopped at a bar or two along the way because he was intoxicated.
He was arrested for disorderly conduct and public urination. Now both he and his friend are sitting in jail.

LiveSunderland 2 Saints 2
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- Saints end a dramatic week with a 2-2 draw at Sunderland
- Rodriguez and Lovren had put visitors into commanding lead
- Borini and Johnson earned the home side a point
- Ramirez and Lovren stretchered off with nasty-looking injuries
- Saints remain ninth in the Premier League table
Dejan Lovren being taken off the pitch on a stretcher.
Saints are unable to hold onto the two-goal advantage that they raced into here at the Stadium of Light, but they do head home with a point. However, there will be great concern over the health of both Gaston Ramirez and Dejan Lovren, who were both taken off on stretchers in the latter stages of the match. We will have updates and reaction for you on the website as they come in. Thanks, as always, for joining us on the blog today.
Craig Gardner celebrating Sunderland's second goal.
Dejan Lovren and Gaston Ramirez off, Maya Yoshida and James Ward-Prowse on (87 mins).
Strange scenes here. Saints have two players stretchered off at the same time. Gaston Ramirez looks to have suffered a bad ankle injury, after Wes Brown caught him on the follow through of a tackle, just as the Uruguayan looked to have skipped clear. The ball then goes up the other end and Lovren suffers an injury tackling Craig Gardner.
Rickie Lambert in action at the Stadium of Light.
CHANCE (75 mins): Artur Boruc goes some way to redeeming himself, making a fine diving save to deny Craig Gardner, before somehow denying Steven Fletcher at close range.
Adam Lallana off, Gaston Ramirez on (73 mins)
Steven Fletcher off, Jozy Altidore on (72 mins)
SUNDERLAND 2 SAINTS 2 (Adam Johnson 71)
Sunderland capitalise on an Artur Boruc error, as the Saints keeper fails to keep out a fairly routine shot from Adam Johnson, palming the ball onto the post and into the back of the net.
RULED-OUT (65 mins): Fabio Borini sprints clear and latches onto Craig Gardner's through ball, before slotting past Artur Boruc, but he is flagged for offside. Replays showed the decision was correct.
Lee Cattermole and Sebastian Larsson off. Craig Gardner and Jack Colback on. (64 mins)
Adam Lallana on the ball for Saints.
CHANCE (61 mins): Adam Lallana sets Rickie Lambert away down the right wing. His low ball into the near post is met by Jay Rodriguez, whose effort flies into the side netting.
CHANCE (57 mins): Saints pounce on a loose pass in midfield, before embarking on another slick move that works the ball to Jay Rodriguez in space just outside the area. He hits a low first-time shot that Vito Mannone dives to his right to save, before gathering the ball at the second attempt.
Jay Rodriguez in action against Sunderland.
CHANCE (49 mins): Luke Shaw goes on a blistering run from left back, gliding past a couple of Sunderland players on his way forward. He winds up a shot from 25 yards and, although he hits it well, the ball flies straight at Vito Mannone, who makes the save.
Rickie Lambert in action for Saints.

A picture of Jay Rodriguez's strike which opened the scoring here today.
Sunderland 1 Saints 2
CHANCE (45+2 mins): Steven Davis is tripped by Lee Cattermole 25 yards out, down the inside-right channel. Rickie Lambert bends the subsequent free-kick round the wall, with Vito Mannone palming it away at his near post.
Dejan Lovren (centre) celebrates with his team-mate Luke Shaw and manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Ki Sung-Yueng booked for a trip on Jack Cork (38 mins).
Adam Lallana and Sunderland's Marcos Alonso battle for the ball.
SUNDERLAND 1 SAINTS 2 (Fabio Borini 32mins)
Out of nowhere, Sunderland get themselves straight back into the game. It's a nice goal too, with Adam Johnson playing a driven ball to pick out the run of Fabio Borini through the centre. He controls on his chest, before hitting a right-foot shot past Artur Boruc and into the far corner.
SUNDERLAND 0 SAINTS 2 (Dejan Lovren 31 mins)
Steven Davis swings in a fairly routine corner, with Dejan Lovren showing far greater movement than Wes Brown to reach the ball, before hooking a volley into the far corner.
CHANCE (29 mins): A huge escape for Sunderland again. Rickie Lambert dispossesses Wes Brown deep in the home side's territory. He slips in Jay Rodriguez with a simple pass, but the forward's shot does not have anywhere near enough power on it to beat Vito Mannone, who gets down to save.
CHANCE (21 mins): Rickie Lambert is played in by Morgan Schneiderlin. However, from a tight angle, his shot goes just wide of the far post.
Jay Rodriguez is congratulated by his teammates after his early goal.
CHANCE (18 mins): Morgan Schneiderlin plays Luke Shaw in down the inside-left channel with an excellent pass. Shaw's cross is deflected by Adam Johnson, with the ball spinning towards the near post, hitting the upright and going behind. Sunderland clear the resulting corner, but are under huge pressure from Saints.
CHANCE (17 mins): Saints launch an excellent break, which ends up with Adam Lallana racing down the right and crossing for Jay Rodriguez, whose first-time volley is well blocked.
CHANCE (13 mins): An awful clearance from Sunderland keeper Vito Mannone, who is well out of his goal, lands at the feet of Jack Cork just inside the home team's half. As Mannone races back, Cork controls the ball and lofts an effort goalwards, but it sails over the bar.
Lee Cattermole booked for a clear and very deliberate trip on Jay Rodriguez, as the Saints forward threatened to launch a dangerous attack. (11 mins)
SUNDERLAND 0 SAINTS 1 (Jay Rodriguez 4)
A brilliant start for Saints, who have really dominated the game in the opening stages. After a bit of pinball just outside Sunderland's area, the ball drops to Jay Rodriguez. He's allowed to control the ball 20 yards out, take a second touch, and then rifle a right-footed half-volley into the bottom corner.
Referee Chris Foy gets this afternoon's match underway. Sunderland in red-and-white stripes, Saints in black.
The players have emerged from the tunnel, onto the pitch. Kick-off is just a few minutes away now. We will have updates for you here throughout the match.

Hello and welcome to this Daily Echo blog covering Saints trip to Sunderland. It has been a dramatic week at St Mary's, with chairman Nicola Cortese departing the club on Wednesday night.

I have drank alcohol six times in the last seven days. Roughly three of those times resulted in (slight to moderate) intoxication. As I write this blog, I am seriously considering making myself a gin & tonic.
It's 2:45 p.m. on Friday.
I'm disgusting.
I can't be sure what will happen next week, but in all likelihood, I will repeat this process. This is, after all, a pattern I have been exhibiting since I got here.
Strangely, as far as I can tell, I'm just displaying the behavior of a normal human being (over the age of 20) in Japan. People drink a lot here. And it feels pretty good.
Except in the morning.
It's true that I always liked drinking, but as Canadian grad student living at home, once or twice a week was usually enough. Three days of drinking was considered a big week.
And then I moved to Japan…
In a country where drinking is such an important and accepted part of daily life, from social and business drinking, to religious rites and traditional customs where sake plays a central role, there is no avoiding 'the drink' in Japan. At least, not if you want to have a social life.
For those who want to go out with friends (Japanese or otherwise), imbibing is almost always part of the equation. Wanna go to a baseball game? Well you can bring your own booze, so chances are you're getting drunk. Wanna play some video games? Go to the local arcade bar and get smashed while playing Smash Bros. Cherry Blossom viewing in the park (if you didn't know, drinking outdoors is legal in Japan)? Bring some sake. Long train ride out of town? beer helps pass the time. Meeting some friends anytime after 5 p.m.? You better believe there'll be cocktails. You get the idea.
And it's not just for the cool kids.
For those without active social lives: there are plenty of opportunities as well. While izakaya's (Japanese style pubs) are the most common venue for social boozing, there is no stigma attached to drinking by oneself at home either.
When I first arrived in the summer, I was shocked by how unabashedly students of both sexes admitted to regularly drinking beer or wine by themselves on the weekend. Maybe I shouldn't have been though. In the West, drinking by oneself might signal a problem, in Japan, it is actively promoted on subway ads.
So naturally, I've started drinking more.
And so have my foreign friends. And this is somewhat of a problem. But it's only a problem because it isn't a problem. You know what I mean?
Nobody sees anything wrong with the fact that I might soon be pouring myself a gin & tonic, at 2:45 on a workday. And that's what freaks me out.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an alcoholic (but that's what they all say right?). I still jog several times a week. I eat all my vegetables, get 8 hours of sleep, and iron my shirts before work. But, my relationship with alcohol has changed.
Liquor is an amazing social tool, and it is one the Japanese use to full effect. This is not to say that constant binge drinking is a good thing or that people need to drink in order to enjoy themselves, and surely there are many here who battle with alcoholism (a disease which is treated with far less seriousness in Japan), but having a beer or two with dinner as so many Japanese do everyday (drinking is almost always accompanied with food here), is, I think, a great way to unwind after a long day at work.
If you ask me, they got it right with this one.

ATLANTA -- Hawks coach Larry Drew said he remained calm when his team trailed Milwaukee by 14 points at halftime.
When the deficit grew to 19 in the first minute of the second half, Drew wasn't as civil as he called a quick timeout and revealed later, "Some things were said in the huddle."
The Hawks responded to Drew's stern message with 12 consecutive points and then used a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter to take the lead and beat the Bucks 109-104 Friday night as Jeff Teague and Josh Smith each scored 24 points.
"They responded," Drew said. "It's unfortunate it had to come to that."
Atlanta moved one-half game ahead of Chicago for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
Monta Ellis led Milwaukee with 27 points and a career-high 17 assists, and Ersan Ilyasova scored 25 points while shooting 6 for 8 on 3-pointers.
Ellis made a 3 with 17.8 seconds remaining to cut Atlanta's lead to 105-102. Al Horford, who had 18 points and 17 rebounds, made two free throws to push the lead to five points.
"We knew we would come back," said Devin Harris, who scored 12 of his 19 points in the third quarter. "We've just got to do a better job of playing a four-quarter game."
Asked if Drew's language in the timeout was more colorful than usual, Harris said, "pretty much."
"He just wanted to set the tone," Harris said. "He did a good job of getting everybody on the same page."
Horford said the timeout "kind of woke us up and we started to play better."
The Hawks, who trailed 59-40 in the opening minute of the second half, finally pulled even at 92-all on a drive by Teague with 5:18 remaining. Teague then set up Horford with an alley-oop layup for Atlanta's first lead since the opening period. A jam by Horford and a layup by Smith capped the 13-0 run.
The Bucks held out two injured starters, guard Brandon Jennings and centre Larry Sanders. Jennings left in the first half of Wednesday night's 113-103 overtime loss at Orlando with a sore left Achilles and didn't return. Sanders had a sore lower back after taking a hard fall against the Magic.
The Bucks reported forward Marquis Daniels suffered a lower leg injury in the second half. The team provided no details on the injury.
Ellis directed the offence while taking the point guard duties normally held by Jennings.
"Any time we've called on Monta to do any variety of things he's always risen to the occasion," said Bucks coach Jim Boylan. "We slide him over to the point guard position tonight for most of the game and he does what he does. He's a very, very good basketball player and he showed that tonight."
Atlanta's Kyle Korver opened the game with a 3-pointer, extending his streak of consecutive games with a 3 to 72, the fourth-longest in NBA history. Korver added another 3 to give Atlanta a 12-5 lead.
The Bucks then answered with their 3-point barrage. Ilyasova made back-to-back 3s to start an 11-2 run that gave Milwaukee the 16-14 lead.
"Tonight we started the game off the right way," Ellis said. "Second half, they came out with a spark, made shots. ... Coming down the stretch they made the plays and we didn't.
"We were feeling good the whole game. It was a hard-fought game. They're a great basketball team. They fought back, got the lead, and made plays when they needed to."
The Bucks made 11 of 18 3-pointers in the first half, including 5 of 6 by Ilyasova. The Hawks had 15 turnovers in the half.
Milwaukee finished 17 for 33 on 3-pointers.
"They shot the ball great tonight," Horford said. "It just took more effort from us. We played better and didn't turn the ball over as much."
J.J. Redick and Ish Smith each scored 10 points for the Bucks.
NOTES: Atlanta outscored Milwaukee 62-30 in the paint. ... The Hawks completed their first season sweep (4-0) of the Bucks since 1996-97. ... One game after posting 25 rebounds with 17 points at Orlando, Bucks rookie John Henson had eight points and eight rebounds while making the fill-in start for Sanders. ... Harris received the Jason Collier Memorial Trophy before the game in honour of the late Hawks centre who was 28 when he died in 2005 of problems caused by an enlarged heart.

Backbreaker Trailer Looks Behind-the-ScenesTaking a few stabs at competitor Madden NFL, developer NaturalMotion uses this developer diary to detail how its physics-driven PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 footballer Backbreaker differs from other games. For example, a lower camera view.
"You're not this kind of, god over the football field who can see everything," explains tester Mike O'Neill. Another example? The use of pink character outlines to highlight the procedural animations--though sadly, that particular aspect seems like the sort of development tool that won't be accessible to the end users come Spring 2010.

BECKLEY (AP) — Homeless veterans in the Raleigh County area are getting a little help to pay rent.
Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin and Rep. Nick Rahall say Raleigh County has received more than $105,000 in federal funding to provide rental assistance for homeless veterans.
The money is part of a cooperative grant program by the Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs.
The program helps homeless veterans find housing through both rental assistance and Veterans Affairs' case management and clinical services.

Our money-based health care system is world's costliest
Re: "Oklahoma takes center stage in Obamacare fight," March 7
In response to Philip Klein practically gloating at the prospect of Oklahoma having discovered a legal technicality that might overturn Obamacare, I offer this perspective:
Every modern nation in the world except one created its health care system by first asking one question: How do we insure all of our citizens? Only then did they ask themselves a second question: How do we pay for it?
Virtually all of these countries eventually chose a form of universal coverage that involved the government playing a major role in providing health care insurance, as this proved to be both the most viable and financially efficient way to achieve medical coverage for all.
Of course, the one modern nation that didn't do things this way was the United States. We skipped the first question and went straight to the second because in this allegedly Judeo-Christian nation, we worship first and foremost at the altar of money.
For the rest of the world, universal coverage is a moral imperative.For us, it's a financial consideration we think we can't afford.The irony is that by practically every measure, we have the least efficient yet most expensive health care system in the universe.

McDonnell should sign photo ID bill
We have been given a unique opportunity to help stop voter fraud in Virginia. Sitting on Gov. Bob McDonnell's desk is legislation that requires voters to prove their identity with a photo ID.
We often hear the argument that voter fraud is not a problem because there are no prosecutions. I wish this were true, but it is not. Since 2008, there have been 38 prosecutions in the commonwealth alone. You can't tell me that the losing candidates in local races where the winner was declared by as few as 15 to 20 votes think this is inconsequential.
Another common misconception is that requiring photo IDs is an attempt to suppress the vote in minority communities. However, the data prove the opposite.
For example, minority participation in Georgia elections "substantially increased" since that state required voters to present a photo ID in 2007 because the law gave minorities renewed confidence in the integrity of the electoral process.

Romney came closest to truth about spending
No one -- not President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner or the media (including The Examiner) -- dares to say that the emperor has no clothes.The closest anyone came was Republican candidate Mitt Romney's remark about the 47 percent who don't have to pay income taxes. This was regarded as impolitic by a broad spectrum of the public and the punditry.
The fundamental problem with the sequester is that the Americans want more services than they are willing to pay for. Democrats and Republicans vie for who can provide the most services and tax cuts while sticking today's children and those yet unborn with the bill because they can't yet vote.
Every dollar in the budget and tax code has a constituency whose votes will flip over eliminating it.Even Saturday mail delivery, which two-thirds of the public is willing to give up, has a constituency of mass mailers and postal workers whose votes neither party can afford to lose in such a closely divided polity.So Congress can only do this mindless sequester, which cuts everything equally and kicks the can to the bureaucracy to figure out how to implement it.
The sole solution to the sequester is for President Obama and the Democrats to offer a balanced-budget amendment that would take effect seven years after ratification in exchange for allowing the current orgy of fiscal legerdemain to continue a little longer.

Women's magazines have been trying to convince us forever that our orgasms are simply not up to par. They're not intense enough, they should last longer, oh and, by the way, did we know that there's a different kind of orgasm we should be having? The fabled G-spot orgasm! Or A-spot orgasm! (I swear, Cosmo has probably attempted to invent NEW female anatomy in order to sell us on their climax coverlines!)
Well, now there's a new series of scientific essays that lay out evidence concerning vaginal and clitoral orgasms being "separate phenomena," activating different areas of the brain. Apparently, there's a BIG debate about this. Because, again, that orgasm you're already having? Not good enough!!
Here's the thing ... Vaginal orgasms definitely exist. They're not like the mythical unicorn of orgasms that some people would have you believe. Those same people who roll their eyes and say, "G-spot? What G-spot? I've tried for years to find it, and since I can't, obviously it's a cockamamie lie."
Famous sex researcher Dr. Beverly Whipple says that some in the medical community consistently deny the existence of the G-spot, because "if they can't see it under a microscope, they think it doesn't exist." But she personally believes the women who tell her they've experienced it.
Dr. Lissa Rankin is one of those women. She shares in her book, What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend, that she had that elusive "intercourse orgasm" once -- 11 years ago -- and it's evaded her ever since. But you know what? She's perfectly fine with that. As far as I'm concerned, her admission sums up this whole so-called "debate." Yes, scientists! The vaginal orgasm can happen, and it may feel awesome, but not necessarily any more awesome or less awesome as any other kind of orgasm. It's certainly not the only or the best kind of orgasm you can have. And anyone who perpetuates that myth probably has a questionable motive -- like wanting to convince us all that heterosexual sex is superior (rrrrright).
The truth is -- any kind of sex that works for you (as long as it is consensual, of course) is the right kind of sex. Any kind of orgasm you have is the right kind of orgasm. To worry about it any further than that would be totally neurotic splitting hairs. And that's anything but a turn-on!
Have you ever felt pressured to have the "perfect orgasm"?
My wifa has all three orgasms. She can get a clitoral O with manual or oral stimulation. The vaginal O with intercourse and the so called mythical G spot with manual stimulation only.
I am perfectly content with my man, and the fact that he always makes sure I climax before he does. Sometimes it happens for us both at the same time. I have had it in my experience that guys as a whole do not know how to control themselves, they get off too easily. I didn't know for the longest time that they could actually do something about it. They can. It's called self control and caring to make your woman get her satisfaction too. Unfortunately too many guys will make excuses "you feel so good" or "you're so hot I couldn't help myself." Please. It might take some practice, but no girl wants a one minute man. Or less. And no we don't "take too long" to reach climax.
You just have to play and explore and have fun and not make it all out to be a big deal! And, yes, having the right partner can make a big difference!!!!
I have many orgasms during one of our "sessions" My bf is very considerate to make sure I do BEFORE he gets off. For me that is really easy That is what passion is all about. For those who do not believe in vaginal orgasms or the g-spot -- buy a dildo or vibrator and a g-sot toy, Use it alone -- see for yourself that you can find pleasure and have mutiple orgasms if you try. If nothing else, this will help you feel more sensual and open your mind to relaxing and having a good time. Don;t rush it unless its an intentional "quickie"! Then give your bf a chance to play with it...it might just showhim how to please youand give you a mind blowing ogasm!!

Tardif Notches First Goal of the Season
Providence, R.I. - The Providence Bruins fell to the Manchester Monarchs 3-1 in their 2012-13 season home opener on Friday night at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Jamie Tardif scored the lone goal for Providence.
Providence opened their first period of the new season with high energy, but despite shooting to a quick lead in shot totals, the P-Bruins didn't take a clear possession of the game. The back and forth stayed at a steady pace until the eight minute mark, when Monarchs' forward Jordan Weal got called for tripping. While the shots kept coming, Manchester goalie Martin Jones stood tall in net and didn't allow the P-Bruins to utilize their extra man. The Monarchs' penalty kill unit came close, with a hard shot that ricocheted off the inside goal post and was quickly grabbed up by P-Bruins' goaltender, Michael Hutchinson. Manchester saw their first power play of the night from a Matt Bartkowski hooking call, but like the P-Bruins, were unable to pull through. The P-Bruins' energy finally came to a head with a Tardif goal at 15:38. Capitalizing on a rebound, Tardif slipped the puck past Jones, assisted by Ryan Spooner and Maxime Sauvé. The goal was Tardif's first of the season and put Providence up 1-0. As the period wound down, Carter Camper saw himself alone in front of the Manchester net, but was unable to get it past Jones.
The second period started with the same tone as the first, and saw Providence go on the power play relatively early off a Thomas Hickey high sticking call. The P-Bruins were once again unable to capitalize with the advantage, and saw their power play time out with no added goals on the scoreboard. With five minutes to go in the period, the action picked up as Bobby Robins delivered a punishing hit behind the Manchester net, and soon answered to the fists of Jordan Nolan. After an uncharacteristically even fight, both went off with fighting majors, and Robins saw an extra two for charging. Both teams squandered their power play, but the P-Bruins got another chance with two to go left in the period. With Richard Clume off on a holding penalty, the P-Bruins went to the power play, but instead of their goal light coming on, it was Manchester with the tally. With 16.8 seconds on the clock, Andrei Loktionov put the Monarchs on the board on a shorthanded goal, assisted by former P-Bruin Andrew Bodnarchuk and Jake Muzzin. The goal was Loktionov's first of the season, and ended the period in a 1-1 tie.
Manchester took control of the third period with an early goal from Andy Andreoff on the power play, breaking the tie and putting the Monarchs up 2-1. He was assisted by Brandon Kozun and Muzzin. The P-Bruins soon after found themselves with a 5-on-3 advantage, but failed to get themselves back on the board. Late into the period, Linden Vey ripped a shot past Hutchinson on a centering pass from Stefan Legein, putting the Monarchs up 3-1. The go-ahead goal was Vey's first of the season. Providence pulled their goalie for an extra man, but the help was futile as the game buzzed out in a 3-1 Providence loss.
Providence will travel to the Webster Bank Arena on Saturday, October 13 to face off against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at 7:00 p.m. The P-Bruins return to The Dunk on Friday, October 26 in a 7:05 p.m. matchup with Springfield for the 3rd Annual Pink in the Rink Night. All fans in attendance will receive a pink rally towel courtesy of Graftek Systems, Susan T. Perkins, WEEI 103.7FM Providence and NBC 10 . The P-Bruins' complete season schedule can be found on www.providencebruins.com.

A great way to start the school year or a course/class is by having students draw a self portrait and write about themselves. Then have them present it and display in the class. Another version is to have them draw and interview a classmate and write in the 3rd person. This simple handout will help you do this in a simple fashion.

A modern classic that no child should miss. Since it was first published in 1939, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, dig deep canals for boats to travel through, cut mountain passes for trains, and hollow out cellars for city skyscrapers — the very symbol of industrial America. But with progress come new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. Mike believes that Mary Anne can dig as much in a day as one hundred men can dig in a week, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save Mary Anne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.
