Grab your friends and family and captain the crew to victory! The party is back and bigger than ever in the Mario Party. 9 game for Wii, featuring all-new ways to play! For the first time in the franchise, boss battles crash the party and challenge players to compete to defeat a common enemy. In addition, players now travel across stages together in a vehicle towards a common goal - overcoming obstacles, battling bosses, and collecting Mini Stars stolen by Bowser and his minions. Featuring 80 new mini games, adventurous new stages, and all-new ways to play that blend cooperative and competitive action for up to four players, Mario Party 9 is the perfect way to get the party started. Features: For the first time in the Mario Party franchise, each stage culminates in a Boss Battle. Collectively, players must combine their strength to defeat classic foes such as Bowser and King Boo while still playing competitively to boost their own individual scores. In another first for the series, players ride across stages together in special vehicles. Players take turns as Captain of the vehicle by hitting Dice Blocks to move the party forward, hoping to land on lucky spaces. The vehicles also help to streamline game play and keep everyone involved in the action. Unique Captain Events on each stage give players a new way to change the shape of the game. In Mario Party 9, each themed stage has a clear destination point but with multiple paths along the way, so no two games will play the same. From Toad Road to Boo's Horror Castle, players will encounter a wide variety of familiar Mario franchise elements in new environments that can be enjoyed solo or with friends. Includes 80 outrageous new mini games that find players making pizzas, escaping haunted mansions and racing snowmobiles. No time to play through an entire stage. New mini game modes let players enjoy the action in smaller chunks of time. They can hone their skills at any mini game in Free Play mode. Age 3 years+.

Saskatchewan seems to be on a hot streak with music festivals and events popping up province wide. Case and point this year's recent Juno Awards in Regina and the upcoming slew of spring and summer festivals. But festivals like the Saskatoon Winter Meltdown Blues Festival which has been around for 11 years now, shows no sign of slowing down; in fact, the dynamic music event is hotter than ever.
Although this festival has passed the experience is still worth sharing and there are several reasons for keeping it top of mind for 2014. I had the great fortune of attending my first Blues Festival cabarets in early March. And, I can honestly say that as a result I am regretting the years past where I didn't take time to appreciate a blues music festival, especially this one.

This pillow is not navy it is black. It's even called noir on the product. Need to change description
the seam closings are thick and kind of bulky, other wise they are okay.Looks fine on the couch just make sure the seam are placed on bottom out of sight
The fabric of these pillows is a little shiny like a polyester...not like a Sunbrella type outdoor fabric. I would've kept them despite that but the color of the green was definitely not as shown. I saw them to be a grass-green and the true color is a lime green. Such a bummer to have to return them and eat the return shipping fees. :(
Love the blue pillows! The color is perfect for my Lake cottage.
We order a set of the yellow pillows . We loved the way they looked that we are actually coming back to order more. .

text: LOS ANGELES (Dec. 11, 2007) – This Saturday's fight between EliteXC and ICON Sport middleweight champion Robbie Lawler and Kala Kolohe Hose was officially cancelled Monday. The announcement was made during a late afternoon press conference in Honolulu. "We were all really looking forward to this event and to this fight because, style-wise, Lawler-Hose was going to be a great one,'' said EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw. "Robbie is a great world champion, but, unfortunately, injuries can happen to athletes in all sports. "I feel badly for the fighters and the fans in Hawaii, who are some of the best in the word. Once Lawler is healthy, we are going to begin working to make the fight happen.'' The world title match had to be called off after Lawler (robbielawler.proelite.com) completely tore his right bicep while doing wrestling drills last week. "I heard something pop when I was doing a Muay Thai clinch,'' said Lawler, who flew in from St. Louis to attend the press conference. "I thought it was a minor thing so I took it easy for a few days. I felt good enough to go bowling, but when I tried to swing the ball, I felt a horrible pain, like my arm had collapsed. It was definitely much worse than I thought.'' A doctor confirmed the injury, which will keep Lawler sidelined approximately six weeks. "I want to apologize to everybody,'' Lawler said. "I am deeply sorry for the fans and the media, the promoters, Patrick and T. Jay, but, most importantly Kala Kolohe. I also want to apologize to all the undercard fighters that sacrificed and trained hard but now have to wait for another opportunity.'' So, too, will Hose, after a second consecutive fight with Lawler fell through. Hose and Lawler were scheduled to clash in June but the event was postponed after Lawler suffered a shoulder injury. Hose (kalakolohehose.proelite.com), who is known as "The Hawaiian Rocky Balboa'' and trains in a garage, was more than disappointed on Monday. "I'm heartbroken,'' he said. "I trained so hard and gave up so much of myself for this chance to fight Lawler. To have two fights not happen is very hard on not only me, but my family and team. This was going to be my big shot. But, once again, it went out the window. But my time will come.'' Promoters fought intensely to salvage the show, but Hose was adamant that his next fight be against Lawler. Ultimately, however, Hose was offered a prominent spot on the ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series card Jan. 25, 2008, on SHOWTIME, which he accepted. Win or lose, he will remain the ICON No. 1 contender. "We all feel just terrible about this, but ICON Sport is committed to giving its fans the best possible events,'' Thompson said. "We really wanted this show to happen and tried hard to save it. "But to meet our fans' high expectations and after speaking with Kala and Lawler, we reached a decision to delay the "Fearless" world title matchup and undercard. "A new date will be announced very soon.''

Clone Wars actors: Cat Taber, Ashley Eckstein, Matt Lanter, James Arnold Taylor
Back in November Lucasfilm Ltd. and Cartoon Network invited fans to sign up for a special, limited theatrical screening in selected areas of a big screen sneak peek at an all-new Clone Wars villain – the monstrous Savage Opress! This week The Clone Wars screenings began in Los Angeles at the Egyptian Theatre.
Cast and crew alike came out in full Force to entertain and meet the fans, which also included a few celebrities in the mix. The 501st, Rebel Legion and R2 builders attended as well, giving fans a chance to have their photos taken with clone troopers, Jedi and droids.
StarWars.com was there to report and live tweet the event. Check out the article below for quotes from Supervising Director Dave Filoni, voice actors Cat Taber, Ashley Eckstein, Nika Futterman and Clancy Brown, as well as Clone Wars writer Katie Lucas.
Aurra Sing voice actor Jaime King & Director Dave Filoni
Why do you think theatrical screenings of The Clone Wars for fans are important?
Dave Filoni: It's just fun. Part of being a fan is seeing stuff like this together. Star Wars has always been on a big screen. I think that George wanting to put this on a big screen for fans to see is really great. It shows how much he actually cares about the fans. And it's another great opportunity for fans to get together to watch it.
Supervising Director of The Clone Wars Dave Filoni with a young Jedi
What are you most excited about this story arc for fans to see?
Dave Filoni: I'm excited for them to see this. I know this is what they want. It's action and adventure and dark. I have a lot of friends that I worked with in the animation industry in Los Angeles and they're all here to see it, and that makes it extra-special for me. I'm also excited for Katie [Lucas] to be here and see the fan reaction probably for the first time ever for something she's created. So there's a lot of positive things about this screening.

PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Perl, Python, and Tcl Today: The State of the Scripting Universe
Three years ago, Lynn Greiner interviewed the big cheeses responsible for the popular scripting languages PHP, Perl, Tcl, Python, Ruby and JavaScript to find out where the languages were headed. In this follow-up discussion, she asks the dynamic language luminaries what has changed since then.
Fri, August 29, 2008
CIO — The former second-class citizens of the programming world have leaped to the fore, changing the face of enterprise software development. With the rise of Web 2.0, scripting languages (also called dynamic languages) are now often considered important tools in a developer's arsenal. That's a far cry from than their old reputation as lesser tools for those who can't handle "real" programming.
Dynamic languages are certainly popular. Almost 70 percent of the 1,200 developers surveyed by Evans Data for its most recent Global Development Survey currently use JavaScript, the most popular dynamic language, with fifteen percent more planning to adopt it. PHP is used by just over a third of developers, and Perl has captured about a quarter of developers (though Perl is much more popular in North America, with 36 percent spending at least some of their time using it).
However, like any other tool, dynamic languages are not necessarily interchangeable. Each has its place in a programmer's toolkit. We asked a group of luminaries in the scripting world for their perspectives on the current state of the scripting universe, and how it has changed since we last looked at the scripting language scene in 2005.
Norris Boyd is the creator and maintainer of Mozilla Rhino, a JavaScript implementation for Java. Boyd was part of the JavaScript team at Netscape. Today, he is an engineering manager at Google.
Richard Dice is the president of the Perl Foundation, the organization which has responsibility for Perl's legal, organizational, technical and administrative infrastructure.
Jeff Hobbs is director of languages and Tcl tech lead at ActiveState Software and a member of the Tcl core team.
Steve Holden is chairman of the Python Software Foundation, and author of Python Web Programming.
Rohan Pall, representing PHP, is a consultant who has been programming Web applications for almost a decade.
CIO.com: What place do scripting languages have in today's computing environment?
There's also been a lot of interest in Ruby, another dynamic language, spurred by the release and growth of Ruby on Rails. As a result of these changes, many developers are becoming more comfortable with dynamic languages.
Dice: Since 2005, there haven't been any singular events that changed the way scripting languages are used or their capabilities. They have evolved (more in perception than in real capability) from a place where they were used only for simple tasks or prototyping of new systems into much more general use. The general upward slope in their acceptance and capabilities in that time, though, means that CIOs definitely need to put them on their radar and develop "scripting language awareness." In late 2007, Forrester Research published its Forrester Dynamic Language Wave survey, so research on the topic is out there to work with.
Hobbs: Scripting languages are increasingly prevalent in Web applications, with PHP's growing popularity and the rise of Ruby on Rails, while maintaining their dominance in important daily tasks such as machine and test automation with Tcl and data manipulation with Perl. Python is finding increasing use in the scientific communities.
Holden: Scripting languages are being used in a wide range of application areas. Python has recently achieved increased visibility in many areas of science and engineering, particularly in bioinformatics. Three significant Web frameworks (Django, TurboGears and Pylons) have reached maturity in the last three years.
Scripting languages have a place anywhere that a systems programming language (e.g., implementing an operating system) is not required. Otherwise they fit basically anywhere, whether it be on the server or the desktop. Python excels in all these areas!
Lam: In general, it's easier to create and change code written in a dynamic language. Much of the Web has traditionally been created using dynamic languages, from Ajax on the client to server code written in PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby. Ruby on Rails in particular has driven a lot of interest towards Ruby, and is one of the preferred platforms to build Web 2.0 startups on.
Pall: In the last three years, we've seen the adoption of very fast CPUs, namely the Intel Core 2 line. Breaking the 3GHz barrier on this architecture—and now pushing 4GHz—has sped up dynamic language code to the point where many algorithms that simply weren't feasible to implement in PHP are now possible on commodity hardware.
In the last year, I've participated in writing text analysis software for auto-classifying documents. Our initial plan was to use C to do the heavy processing and PHP for the rest. As it turned out, on midrange commodity hardware, we were able to use PHP throughout and maintain solid performance. Web applications are commonly scripted, but in my experience, even internal processing-intensive applications are now commonly being implemented in modern, dynamic, scripting programming languages. The bulwarks have been breached and progress is now ushered in.
Next: How have attitudes changed towards dynamic languages?

President Obama Takes To Twitter To Answer Questions On Fiscal Cliff
By editor
Originally published on Mon December 3, 2012 5:39 pm
During the presidential campaign, President Obama said that one of things he would do more of during his second term is engage the American people. One attempt at such a thing came on Wednesday, when the White House announced the #My2K Twitter hashtag that they hoped Americans would use to continue debating the "fiscal cliff."
Today, the White House took it a step further: President Obama signed on to Twitter to answer questions about the large spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to take effect January 1.
The questions ranged in topic from mortgage interest rate deductions to college tuition. The chat is now over but we've collected some highlights:

An exciting new journal that seeks to change how important biomedical discoveries are communicated will publish an influential new paper by Michael R. Green, MD, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, the Lambi and Sarah Adams Chair in Genetic Research, professor of molecular medicine and biochemistry & molecular pharmacology and director of the Program in Gene Function and Expression, and colleagues. The journal, eLife, is described by its founders as a "unique collaboration between funders and practitioners of research to communicate influential discoveries in the life and biomedical sciences in the most effective way."
Those founders are the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Wellcome Trust. "Along with a growing number of public and private research funders worldwide, these three organizations recognize that the communication of research results is as fundamental a component of the research process as the experiments themselves," the journal stated in its inaugural issue. "Disseminating new findings as widely and effectively as possible maximizes the value of research investments. [One] step in this initiative is to establish a new, open-access venue for the most important advances—from basic biological research through to applied, translational and clinical studies."
Open access is a growing trend in scientific publication, generally defined as "free, unrestricted, online access to scientific and scholarly research." (The UMMS Lamar Soutter Library recently hosted a series of activities in honor of Open Access Week; read more about the topic at http://libraryguides.umassmed.edu/OpenAccess.) The involvement of three of the most important research institutions in the world in the creation of a new open-access journal intended to streamline the communication of scientific findings is likely to be a milestone in life sciences research.
The new journal's editors describe it as "a researcher-led digital publication for outstanding work, a platform to maximize the reach and influence of new findings and a showcase for new approaches for the presentation and assessment of research."
Dr. Green's paper in the current issue certainly fits that bill. The research paper, "Non-canonical TAF complexes regulate active promoters in human embryonic stem cells," by Green and Lihua Julie Zhu, PhD, research associate professor of molecular medicine; and former postdoctoral fellow Glenn A Maston, PhD; technician Lynn Chamberlain; graduate student Ling Lin; and postdoc Minggang Fang, PhD, reports on the discovery that the basic transcription machinery used to regulate gene expression and self-renewal in human embryonic stem cells is comprised of only a handful of proteins normally found in other cells.
An explanatory summary accompanying the paper put it this way: "Embryonic stem cells have two characteristic properties: they are able to differentiate into any type of cell (a property known as "pluripotency") and they are able to replicate themselves indefinitely (known as "self-renewal").
"Different genes code for the various proteins associated with these two properties, and understanding the behavior and properties of stem cells in detail is a major challenge in developmental biology. In human embryonic stem cells that have not yet differentiated, the genes that code for the transcription factors involved in the self-renewal process are expressed, whereas the genes associated with differentiation are not active. However, if the expression of the genes for self-renewal is reduced, the process of differentiation will begin, and the embryonic stem cells will be able to produce any one of the 200 or so different types of cell found in the human body."
Gene transcription is a special focus of the Green laboratory, and the lab has a distinguished history of discoveries related to cell differentiation, including, importantly, the transcription machinery in cancer and its precursor cells. The eLife finding demonstrates how the transcription machinery that regulates gene expression and self-renewal in human embryonic stem cells is different from that found in other types of cells, including embryonic stem cells taken from mice. This unusual transcription machinery is, they argue, essential for the proper workings of human embryonic stem cells.

Today's post comes from Balance Gym Business Manager Carolyn Willeford.
Back in July I participated in my first GORUCK Heavy as a complete newbie. I had completed my first Challenge about three weeks before and signed up on a whim with some coworkers. I didn't even lift at that time, could barely do a pushup, and considered twenty minutes on the elliptical a workout. It sucked, I cried a LOT, but I got the patch. Since that event, I've committed to "tough girl training" and have grown immensely in terms of mental strength and physical endurance.
I wanted to use 3.28's Heavy to compare my performance in the two events and judge what progress I had made and where I was still weak. The first Heavy was tons of PT, with minimal movement. This was the opposite. Aside from a brief smoke session (a lot of PT…) as a punishment for not listening to Cadre Aaron, some "fuck fuck games" (things meant to break you down mentally) courtesy of Cadre Brad, and a strange few hours in camo where we felt like extras in a bizarre Vietnam War movie, we were mostly covering ground. We covered roughly 43 miles on this Heavy, and I know I fought for every inch, but it was a much different fight than my first GRH when I was just trying to stay in it.
For 3.28, I was fighting to be a good teammate, carry whatever I could, and help keep the group focused and motivated.

How often do you come to the gym?
I try to get to the gym 5 times per week.
What do you like the most about Balance?
I love the Group Fitness classes at Balance! I have tried a variety of the classes and all of the instructors have been welcoming and enthusiastic.
Which classes do you like the most?
I really enjoy Zumba, spinning, and yoga. I have also just started taking Barre which is great!
How do you think Group Fitness classes can help others achieve their fitness goals? Why should other people take classes at Balance?
When I started at Balance over the summer it had been quite a while since I regularly went to the gym. The Group Fitness instructors were all very patient and helpful. The classes motivated me to come back and now the gym is part of my regular routine.
How do you fit working out into your busy schedule?
When I make my school and work schedule every week I reserve blocks of time for the gym. Some weeks are better than others but planning ahead has definitely been helpful.
#BalanceLife is: getting stronger every day and feeling great!
This week marks the first birthday of Balance Foggy Bottom! After hearing about Balance's exceptional customer service and diverse range of fitness offerings, the Fairmont Hotel sought out Balance to revamp their hotel gym and open a new location in their space. In addition to the traditional gym with Group Fitness classes and functional workout space, Foggy Bottom also has a CrossFit Box, saltwater pool with monthly swimming clinics, and a restaurant with Paleo options. Come celebrate with us this weekend, and check out the gym!
I asked Balance Owner Mark Crick, Foggy Bottom General Manager Devin Maier, and CrossFit Foggy Bottom Director James Bathurst why Foggy Bottom was awesome, what they were most proud of accomplishing there over the last year, and what members have to look forward to from Foggy Bottom.
ET: What are some of the best things about Foggy Bottom? What makes it different from the other Balance locations?
MC: It's awesome that after a hard workout and your arms are dead you have a doorman to open the door for you.
DM: Besides the amazing classes and instructors that people expect from Balance? How about a salt-water lap pool, whirlpool, and healthy Paleo meals cooked to order while you work out?
JB: We have incredible amenities that you just don't find elsewhere. Excellent shower and locker room facilities; Steam room, pool, sauna, and hot tub for workouts and recovery; 25+ foot rope climbs; CrossFit classes as well as a host of other awesome gym classes; and my favorite - fresh made-to-order Paleo meals from the Fairmont Executive Chef (who also does CrossFit himself!)
ET: What about Foggy Bottom are you most proud of at the end of the first year?
MC: The great group of trainers we have pulled together. They come from all backgrounds, for example James from Gymnastics and Amanda from Pole Fitness. The trainers allow for a diverse program offering, one that is sure to challenge and expert or help a newbie get started.
DM: The unique community that we have forged here in Foggy Bottom. It feels like I have known many of our members far longer than the short year that we have been in operation.
JB: Winning 'Best CrossFit Gym' from the Washington Post Express!
ET: What can people look forward to at Foggy Bottom in the future?
MC: We will continue with major facility improvements and new equipment over the next 12 months. Without starting a rumor there is talk of a new and expanded spin room…shhh.
DM: More unique classes and programs. As our membership base grows we look forward to adding more classes to keep people stimulated and healthy. Outside classes coming soon!
JB: More classes added to the CrossFit schedule. More social events. More seminars and competitions hosted at Foggy Bottom!
ET: What (if any) are some of the challenges with opening a new gym, especially in a hotel space?
MC: The Fairmont has an amazing level of service. While we pride ourselves at Balance on delivering the best customer service possible, you really have to pick it up a level when you are operating out of a five star hotel! The Fairmont is a great hotel and a great partner!
DM: Raising our level of customer service to match that of a world class hotel while bringing the Balance vibe and staying true to our roots proved to be a challenge at first but once we reached a critical mass of Balance members it became second nature.
JB: We took a space that was very machine-centric, and transformed it into an athletic, functional training facility. Getting members to see our vision was a challenge at first. The outside visibility is also a challenge, but the word of mouth from all our happy members has spread quickly!
ET: Anything else people should know about why Foggy Bottom is awesome?
MC: I don't know of many CrossFit gyms that can claim to have a pool, spa, sauna, steam room, executive locker rooms. and a world class chef that will happily prepare you a Paleo meal after your workout!
DM: The support we receive from The Fairmont hotel staff is amazing. From their enthusiasm in our classes to their hospitality offered to us and our members outside of the gym area makes this gym location truly a one of a kind experience.
JB: I am proud of the community that we have established so quickly. We have athletes coming regularly, working hard, and encouraging each other - just like every Balance Gym! And just like every Balance Gym, there is a big mix of ages and abilities, because the environment is so supportive and inviting! I am so proud that we have given people a space like this to transform their lives!
Celebrate Foggy Bottom's first birthday with us today (March 28) at 5 pm! We'll have samples from our Paleo meals, drinks, prizes & giveaways, and membership specials — so bring your friends! RSVP here.
Today's post comes from Balance Gym Foggy Bottom Front Desk Manager Cassia Denton.
When you hang out with really fit humans, you start to hear the same words pop up in conversation time and time again: Overcome. Obstacles. Growing. Fighting. Toughen up. Push through. Adversity. Strength. Again and again, the fittest amongst us talk about the mental game, conquering your will, overcoming your barriers, working through the pain.
One such really fit human is Joe De Sena. Joe spent most of his life as a pool maintenance man, but through his experiences with adversity and a tough childhood, he came to realize that the greatest successes he found in his life were achieved by a simple premise: forge ahead, no matter the odds.
STFU - Spartan Up Promo from SpartanRace on Vimeo.
In 2001, Joe and his partners put this foundational idea towards the creation of Spartan Race, an obstacle race patterned after the rigorous training regimen mandated for all male Spartan citizens in 700 B.C. The obstacles are ugly and grueling, and each obstacle comes with a 30 burpee penalty if you cannot complete the task at hand. The Spartan Race pushes you to crawl through the mud under barbed wire, swim through pools of ice water, climb ropes 50 feet in the air, scale brick walls, and generally have a miserable time.
As often as I can, I would love to make it at least 4 times a week.
Cassia, Devin, Nicky, Trip, Bennett, these individuals' inspiring workout ethics, sharing of exercise tips, the 100% athletic 'push you till you hurt' attitude, and the engaged atmosphere created by a healthy dose of sportsmanship, all of this really makes you want to be a part of Balance Gym.
My personal favorite was the Health Expo that my company (The Advisory Board Company) puts on every year. It inspired many of our young colleagues to be actively engaged in incorporating exercise/work out within the demanding long work days that has become the norm today. I wanted to participate in Cupid's Run, but was not able due to recent shoulder surgery. I think that the recent implementation of CrossFit Kids that Balance Gym started is genius and I would like to get both my niece and nephews become a part of it soon.
When I went in for my pre-op surgery check-up, to my surprise my physicians' first reaction was his instant recognition that I had been working out and was in better shape than when I went into surgery for the other shoulder 4 years ago. Post surgery, my healing process was quite instant with the need of post surgery rehabilitation cut to a minimum. Foolishly, I went right back into it and after only a few classes, I aggravated the situation and am now having to take it easy…although also because of all the snow, it has been harder to get back into any routine especially with mounting work obligations. Even with all that said, there is no excuse as it was painfully pointedly out by Devin as to why I didn't at the very least get back by doing some kind of cardio.
I need to get off my lazy fat ass and stop making excuses. It isn't everyday that one encounters a gym with a group of such high caliber experts, passionate about their profession, so giving of their time in a myriad of ways, not only to members, but to various causes, engagement initiatives, the constant updates to the gym big and small, and up-beat attitudes.
It has reinvigorated my love for exercise

Students complete career readiness programBy LISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | March 28,2013MONTPELIER — At just 15, Shaylee Martin knows she wants to become a preschool teacher. Taylor Beaudet, 16, is interested in graphic design. And Dylan Martin, 17, a senior, plans to be a truck driver after high school.
They are among 11 Williamstown High School students who have completed a 15-week pilot program run by their school and the Community College of Vermont to get them ready for work or college after high school. The school was among six in Vermont that were awarded grants in the fall of 2011 to engage in innovative learning.
During the fall and winter, the Williamstown students learned how to put together resumes and an online portfolio of themselves and worked on computer, speaking and collaboration skills. They took tests to assess their achievements in reading and math. And they did some of that outside of school, at Community College on Vermont.
"We weren't just stuck in the classroom five days a week," Martin said. "We actually got to go to CCV and try different things."
On Thursday, Gov. Peter Shumlin presented them with the Governor's Career Ready Certificates at the Statehouse. Later they met with legislators to talk about what they've learned.
Beadet said she and some other students impressed perspective employers at a technology job fair in Winooski when they handed out their resumes for possible summer internships.
"They were impressed with the resumes because they hadn't seen many kids actually had resumes with them," she said. She doesn't have job experience to list but can tell potential employers what she's interested in and good at.
The program is part of a move to find different ways to engage kids in their learning, said Williamstown High School Principal Scott Lang.
"We're a rural, pretty poor community with not a lot of families who are educated. So for many of our kids it's a first experience," he said.
The Legislature is considering a bill that would combine and expand secondary school programs including dual enrollment and early college to increase the number of students completing school and help prepare them for life after high school.
"It offers a lot of different choices for kids. It keeps them engaged," said Johannah Donovan, chairwoman of the House Education Committee. "Oftentimes it gets these kids working toward a future and they actually have concrete plans."MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

Cyclone freshmen top Blue Devils
By Matt Myers
Elizabethton's freshman hoops squad rode a big wave of first-half momentum created by its three-pronged scoring attack, and did just enough down the stretch inside to best the Unicoi County Blue Devils 55-47 in super Tuesday hardwood action from West Side Elementary's gymnasium.
E-town's triple-headed scoring monster excelled to the tune of 30 first-half points. Forward Colton Chambers and center Conley Bowers owned the paint while forward Bo Pless (13 pts.) showcased his jumpshot on the perimeter with two treys.
A beautiful spin in the paint between two defenders from Chambers with 2:40 on the first half clock completed a 12-2 Orange & Black run and led to a 31-20 advantage at the break.

Bob Bush also went on this trip and here is part of an email I
received after the trip...
"I just wanted to let you know how much fun I had on the North
Fork Ranch. We all caught a lot of nice fish and quite a few were
over 20 inches. The facilities and hospitality of the May's was
exceptional, especially the hot chocolate chip cookies. I'm definitely
interested in future Hosted Fishing trips that Front Range may care
to offer, they're a great bargain and great fun!"
How many places do you fish within 1 hour of Boulder where a 20+
fish a day is the norm and many will be 18-inches or better?
In the Spring 2005 CTU magazine, High Country Angler, there was
a article by Janice O'Shea which talked about North Fork Ranch "
fishing is spectacular. Anglers can expect to fish for rainbows
from 16-inches to 6-7 pounds, along with steelhead, cuttbows, browns,
and brook trout."
This fish was taken two weeks ago

A Bargain With Fate
Still, the author has created a real challenge for herself. Readers
don't usually like heroes who force women into their beds, especially
when they know that Isabelle was as much a victim of her vile husband's
machinations as the duke. Lucien had thrown Isabelle and Justin together and then, actually wagered his wife in a card game. When Justin won and insisted on taking Isabelle away, Lucien had followed and forced a duel, all to revenge the death of his father, which he blamed on Justin's father. But Lucien's plans had gone awry. He, not Justin, was wounded and though he lingered for several months, he ultimately died from infection. But Lucien had had the satisfaction of knowing that the duke had been forced to send his son away from England.
Now, Justin has returned, a war hero, no less. Isabelle is dismayed; she has come to London in the company of her mother-in-law and Lucien's
half-sister, Chloe, for the latter's come out. The duke begins to pay
attention to Chloe and her guardian encourages the connection. Isabelle
knows that Justin is motivated by revenge and fears that her beloved
sister-in-law will be forced into an unhappy match. When Justin presents his ultimatum - he will leave Chloe alone if Isabelle becomes his mistress - she agrees. She feels more than a little guilt about the
events that led to Justin's exile.
My problems with The Duke's Mistress do not arise from the
premise but rather from the characterizations and the contrived nature
of the plot. It is not the presence of a "big misunderstanding;"
frankly, had Isabelle at the outset tried to convince Justin that she
had had no part in Lucien's plot, he would have been unlikely to believe her. But Isabelle is simply too much of a doormat for my taste. Her ready agreement to Justin's demands makes her seem a victim rather than a heroine one can admire. (Please note that I do not expect my Regency heroines to act and think like contemporary women; I simply want them to exhibit a modicum of backbone.)
Justin's character is equally problematic. He simply comes across as too nice to have embarked on the revenge plot to begin with. Of course, the genre conventions are at work here. While he can introduce Isabelle to the possibilities of sexual pleasure, he cannot force her to have sex. So there must be a fairly rapid alteration in his feelings about her and hers about him. The changes are not completely convincing.
Finally, the story has too many contrivances and coincidences to be
completely satisfactory. Once Justin and Isabelle have come together,
perhaps halfway through the book, there is really nothing to prevent a
happily ever after. Hence, Cree must introduce other and less than
persuasive stumbling blocks.
Ultimately, however, the plot is not the main problem with The Duke's Mistress. It is rather the heroine. From first to last, Isabelle's behavior shows a lack of good sense. She is a less than satisfactory heroine; thus this is a less than satisfactory romance.
--Jean Mason

text: The husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America's most important designers. Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life – from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age – has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film since their death dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work. One of the directors, Jason Cohn, will attend for Q&A and will discuss his new project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2073593275/the-outcast-of-beauregard-parish-a-documentary-filSign up here! About the Director: Jason Cohn first became aware of Charles and Ray Eames through their films when a friend introduced him to their six-volume DVD set. The chair obsession followed. EAMES: The Architect and the Painter is Jason's first feature documentary. He previously produced segments for the PBS program Frontline World, associate produced for Frontline and field produced for the award-winning PBS series Remaking American Medicine. He was the Los Angeles bureau producer for the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) covering American stories west of the Mississippi. As a public radio reporter, producer and managing editor, Jason covered the culture of technology for Beyond Computers and issues of Asian art, culture and politics for the nationally syndicated program Pacific Time. As a writer, he has written documentaries for National Geographic and PBS, and his articles have appeared in the National Affairs section of Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, the San Francisco Chronicle and other major periodicals. Jason lives in Berkeley, Calif., with his wife, two boys, a cat and a plastic aquarium full of sea monkeys.

Slusser Road at River Road
Is the Liberty Road end of Rainsville open? Or are both ends of Rainsville Rd closed.
Thanks very much.
Mark West Station Road at Starr Road is one that floods every big storm. You typically can get through westbound up to Starr Road, but after that the road dips and a driver or too always gets stranded as the water gets deep.
The south end of Freestone – Valley Ford Road is flooded.
Highway 128 closed near Pacific after Navarro River flooded. Also, Highway 1 reported closed between Point Arena and Manchester after Garcia River flooded.
Caltrans reports intersection of Highways 12 and 121 flooded.
CHP reporting that, as we expected, a car is stranded on flooded Mark West Station Road.
Rohnert Park Expressway at Stony Point Road has been closed all day.
Is Petaluma Hill Road OK and not flooded in low spots between Santa Rosa and Sonoma State University campus?
I always get a kick out of people who think they can just drive right through a flooded area in their tiny cars.
some people are just so stupid!! Who ever was driving that car should have their license revoked for ever!!!!

Nourishment in the Womb May Matter Decades Later
New reasons to watch what you eat.
Most pregnant women wouldn't dream of belting back cocktails or lighting up. But what about that Big Mac and daily Krispy Kreme doughnut? In a Freudian twist, a growing number of researchers now contend that if Junior eventually battles middle-age spread, hypertension, and diabetes, Mom's diet during pregnancy will bear some of the blame.
The notion that nourishment in the womb might trigger serious disease decades later is controversial, but a spate of recent studies adds to the evidence. This month, Kaiser Permanente researchers report in the journal Diabetes Care that children who took in an excessive amount of sugar in the womb—because their mothers' mild diabetes caused high blood glucose levels—were nearly twice as likely to become obese by elementary school as those whose moms had been successfully treated for severe diabetes. Another recent study found that women who followed a high-protein Atkins-style diet had children who much later were unusually sensitive to stress, which is associated with heart disease and diabetes. "The implications of this are enormous," says Daniel Benyshek, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas who has done research on how nutrients affect fetal development. "I think it's a significant factor in the current obesity epidemic."
Programmed. Benyshek and other scientists now believe that after the initial intertangling of DNA at conception, a baby's genes are expressed a certain way—switched off or on—depending on the conditions in utero. Thus, cells may be wired to sock away fat if they're bathed in too many or too few nutrients, for example, or to release it readily for fuel if given just the right amount. Underweight newborns appear to have systems unable to cope effectively with glucose, which makes them more prone to obesity once they're happily enjoying a fast-food lifestyle. "We first found in the 1980s that people who were born at low birth weights to poor malnourished mothers tended to have high rates of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes," says David Barker, a professor of medicine at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, who was the first to suggest that fetal programming can lead to chronic disease.
More often, nowadays, babies are overnourished—and not only because of the fabled pregnancy cravings. Women who are overweight when they become pregnant, which is becoming increasingly common, risk developing the abnormally high blood glucose levels associated with gestational diabetes. As this sugar-rich blood passes through the placenta, baby adapts to the sweet life. She might be programmed to crank out too much of a "hunger" hormone, leptin, for example, and her overfed cells may be less sensitive than they should be to insulin, which normally enables cells to use glucose for energy. Both types of hormonal programming may leave her with a hearty appetite and tendency to overeat that are difficult to reverse. The Kaiser Permanente study found that even women whose blood sugar levels fell into the upper range of normal, 122 to 140 milligrams per deciliter, might benefit by lowering those levels further. Their children were almost 30 percent more apt to be fat by age 7 than those born to women with lower blood sugar levels. Women can move naturally into the safe zone by cutting back on sweets and processed starches like white bread, bagels, and pretzels, says study author Teresa Hillier, and by scheduling in 30 minutes daily of physical activity.
Hold the meat. Too much protein can apparently wreak havoc, too. In March, Scottish researchers released the findings from a study of 70 adult offspring of a group of women from a town in Scotland (appropriately named Motherwell) who were told in the 1960s to eat a pound of red meat a day during pregnancy to prevent high blood pressure. When asked to perform such challenging tasks as public speaking and mental arithmetic, these adults produced excessive amounts of the stress hormone cortisol, says Rebecca Reynolds, an endocrinologist at the University of Edinburgh who led the study. High cortisol producers tend to develop hypertension and carry fat around the abdomen, which increases the likelihood of heart disease and diabetes.
