Maddux was picked on 555 of 571 ballots by senior members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. His 97.2 percentage was the eighth-highest in the history of voting.
Glavine, Maddux's longtime teammate in the Atlanta rotation, appeared on 525 ballots and received 91.9 percent. Thomas, the first Hall of Famer who spent the majority of his career as a designated hitter, was at 478 and 83.7 percent.
Thomas said he accepts the view of many Hall of Famers that players whose accomplishments are muddied by accusations of steroid use, such as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, don't belong in the Hall.
"I've got to take the right stance, too. No, they shouldn't get in," he said. "There shouldn't be cheating allowed to get into the Hall of Fame."
The trio will be inducted July 27 along with managers Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, elected last month by the expansion-era committee. Maddux and Glavine, who played under Cox for most of their careers, will become the first pair of 300-game winners to be inducted in the same year.
"It's exciting for me to go in with my teammate," Maddux said.
The only other time three players were elected together in their first appearances was in 1999 with Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount.
Biggio received 427 votes and 74.8 percent, matching Nellie Fox in 1985 and Pie Traynor in 1947 for the smallest margin to just miss. Traynor made it the following year, and Fox was elected by the old Veterans Committee in 1997.
Biggio, who spent his entire career with the Houston Astros, appeared on 388 ballots last year in his initial appearance — when writers failed to elect anyone — and appears to be on track to gain election next year.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed to come that close," he said in a statement. "I feel for my family, the organization and the fans. Hopefully, next year."
Mike Piazza was next with 62.2 percent, up from 57.8 last year. Jack Morris was 78 votes short at 61.5 percent in his 15th and final appearance on the writers' ballot, a drop from 67.7 percent. Morris replaces Gil Hodges (63 percent in 1983) as the player with the highest-percentage of the vote not in the Hall.
Jeff Bagwell dropped to 54.3 percent from 59.6, and Tim Raines to 46.1 from 52.2.
Controversy over how to evaluate stars tainted by the Steroids Era continued to impact the vote totals of players with stellar statistics. In their second appearances on the ballot, Roger Clemens dropped from 37.6 percent to 35.4, Barry Bonds from 36.2 to 34.7 and Sammy Sosa from 12.5 to 7.2.
Bonds, baseball's career home run leader, is the only seven-time MVP in major league history. Clemens is the lone seven-time Cy Young Award winner.
"As for what they did, I don't think any of us will ever really know," Thomas said. "But I can just tell you, what I did was real and that's why I've got this smile on my face right now because the writers, they definitely got it right."
Mark McGwire, appearing for the eighth time, fell from 16.9 to 11 percent — down from a peak of 25.6 in 2008. Rafael Palmeiro will be dropped from future ballots after falling to 25 votes and 4.4 percent — below the 5 percent threshold necessary to remain eligible. One voter submitted a blank ballot.

The Nursing and Health Sciences Department includes programs preparing students for careers in allied health, emergency services, and nursing. For more information about the offerings within each area, select the Degrees and Programs link for the specific program.
The PUC nursing program uses a two-step approach to educating students for a career in nursing. The education begins with the AS degree, which prepares students for RN licensure, and then continues on to complete the course requirements for the BSN degree. PUC also offers an LVN to RN program (AS degree) at Travis Air Force Base and in Napa, and offers the RN to BSN program on both the Angwin campus and in Napa. The AS degree is offered in a traditional two-year nursing program format. The LVN to RN and BSN programs are offered in a non-traditional core week format, designed for working healthcare professionals.
Centered in the Napa Valley, students have access to leading health care hospitals in the area, with clinical experiences at facilities located in Napa, Solano, Sonoma, and Lake counties. The curriculum, always responsive to current health needs, is based on scientific principles, current concepts of nursing, and progressive trends in nursing education.
The AS degree nursing program is approved by the California State Board of Registered Nursing, and both the AS and BSN degree nursing programs at PUC are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (formerly the NLNAC).
Emergency Services
The Emergency Services program educates individuals who are seeking an AS degree that prepares them students for the position of emergency medical technician (EMT) as well as other positions in related fields such as offices of emergency services and firefighting. Students who wish to continue their education upon completion of the program are academically prepared to enter paramedic school. Training includes vocational certifications in CPR, incident command, emergency vehicle operations, and emergency medical technician.
Health Sciences
The A.S. in Health Sciences is a general studies degree with an emphasis on the life and social sciences. This degree is appropriate for students with an interest in the field of health sciences. Advising and curriculum is offered for students who wish to select a pre-professional program in conjunction with the A.S. in Health Sciences.

I worked at Clipper Windpower (United Kingdom) full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – The talent at Clipper was amazing.
Cons – Clipper has gone through some rough times and been purchased twice in the last few years, resulting in many negative changes to corporate culture. There have been layoffs, and morale is low. Future of the company is questionable. Clipper works their people long hours with little to no acknowledgement for their hard work.

Ambiance, wait staff and food.. All Great!!!
This is cool place and the young set love it.. Very refreshing spot kind of hidden away...Small and serves meals on the patio/pool area...Guests are respectful since it is a boutique hotel....
|Jan 10, 2014 Ingrid California, United States
I paid $59 for the voucher thinking I would only pay for tax and gratuity. The bill was so convoluted that I paid an additional $72. Mind you, we only ordered what the voucher offered.
I thought the food, service, and setting were great but given the total amount I paid for the voucher and the final bill I felt this wasn't a deal at all. It cost me the same amount as if I didn't have a voucher. This is misleading and very bad for business!

small room really pretty all white only 10 tables small bar but you can sit outside but a little to cold for us
I don't think people should bring small children unless they sit outside

Very quiet dining, food was good.
Service was a little slow, arrived at 6 PM for dinner didn't receive the main course until 7:30
|Dec 27, 2013 anthony California, United States
The dinner was good. The kitchen seemed to have a solid menu. Location and ambience in this boutique restaurant was intimate but unexpectedly loud.
A great environment, however, its a small noisy place. Difficult to hear someone sitting next to you, however, you certainly could hear the people on the other side of the restaurant. The kitchen was good, however, the service was extremely slow... 45 min. to get entree's is just a little too long to wait. Plus the food was not delivered to all members of our small party (3 people ) at the same time. With a 5 min. wait until the last person was served. Makes for an embarrassing situation.

Sealed with a controversy: Public debates whether parents should kiss their kids on the lipsAshley Johnson, a mother of twin boys who turn 3 next month, thinks kissing her children on the lips is the natural thing to do. "I don't think it's any different from breast-feeding them," she says. "You love your children and kissing them is a natural way to show them that love because a kiss is something shared between those closest to you."

Bariatric Surgery Services Available
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band is a restrictive surgical procedure; it works by limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at one time. During this procedure, two medical devices are implanted in the patient: a silicone band and an injection port. The silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach and molds the stomach into two connected chambers. The injection port is attached to the abdominal wall, underneath the skin. The port is connected to the band with soft, thin tubing.
The band is adjustable. Adjustments are made by your healthcare professional using a needle to inject saline solution into your band through the port. Adding saline increases the amount of restriction provided by the band, helping patients feel fuller sooner and with less food.
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery uses a combination of restriction (limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at one time) and malabsorption (bypassing a portion of the small intestine means the patient's body absorbs fewer calories). During the procedure, the surgeon creates a smaller stomach pouch. The surgeon then attaches a Y-shaped section of the small intestine directly to the pouch. This allows food to bypass a large portion of the small intestine, which absorbs calories and nutrients. Having the smaller stomach pouch causes patients to feel fuller sooner and eat less food.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
The Sleeve Gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure. It works by limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at one time. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a small, sleeve-shaped stomach. It is larger than the stomach pouch created during Roux-en-Y bypass—and is about the size of a banana.
Sleeve gastrectomy patients experienced resolution rates for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obstructive sleep apnea that are similar to resolution rates for other restrictive procedures such as gastric banding.
To learn more about sleeve gastrectomy, visit the website of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and review the ASMBS Position Statement on Sleeve Gastrectomy as a Bariatric Procedure. http://asmbs.org/2011/12/sleeve-gastrectomy-as-a-bariatric-procedur/
Risks and Benefits
Risks and Benefits
As with any selective surgery there are risks involved. The following risks are associated with any Bariatric surgery:
- Leakage from the intestinal tract
- Infections
- Bleeding
- Blood clots in legs/lungs
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Gastric Bypass
- Nutritional and Vitamin Deficiencies
- Kinks or twists in the intestine
- Dumping syndrome
- Adjustable Gastric Band
- Weight loss failure 8-10%
- Band slippage <1-2%
- Band erosion <0.5%
- Balloon leaks, Port malfunction
Research has show that reversal of obesity- related co-morbidities has been achieved subsequent to Bariatric surgeries.
Studies found that gastric banding:
- Resolved type 2 diabetes in 47.8 percent of patients and often resolved the disease within days of surgery
- Resolved high blood pressure in 38.4% of patients
- Improved high cholesterol in 78.3% of patients
Studies found that gastric bypass:
- Resolved type 2 diabetes in 83.8% of patients and often resolved the disease within days of surgery
- Resolved high blood pressure in 75.4% of patients
- Improved high cholesterol in 95% of patients
- Studies shows that sleeve gastrectomy patients experienced resolution rates for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obstructive sleep apnea that are similar to resolution rates for other restrictive procedures such as gastric banding.
- Bariatric patients also experienced improved physical functioning and appearance; and improved social and economic opportunities. In addition there has been a reduced relative risk of mortality as well as an improved quality of life.
Recommendations After Surgery
Recommendations After Surgery:
Weight loss after the procedure will depend on several factors including:
- The type of surgery performed
- Patient's age and weight prior to surgery
- Overall health of patient
- Motivation of patient and support from family members, friends, and healthcare providers
- Follow up care, ability and commitment to exercise, and maintain dietary guidelines
- Follow up care services include consultations with Surgeon/nutritionist/nurse, support groups and bariatric rehabilitation
- Activities allowed after Weight Loss Surgery include:
- No strenuous exercise for six weeks.
- Driving is allowed once not taking pain medications.
- Consider exercising at least 5 times per week once you are cleared by your surgeon
- Your healthcare team will advise you when to return to work and when you are able to resume normal activities.
Diet Plan after Weight Loss Surgery:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy patients needs to follow each phase of diet for two consecutive weeks
- Gastric Band and Gastric Bypass patients need to follow each phase of diet for one week
- Phase/Week 1: Thin Liquids ex; clear liquids

Ashville varsity girls basketball coach Dale Beason picked up his 200th career win recently in a 61-57 victory over Locust Fork.
He was able to record those 200 wins in nine seasons, plus four games into his 10th season. He is averaging over 20 wins per season.
"This makes me feel like I have been blessed to see a lot of good female athletes come through our program," Beason said.
Overall, the Lady Bulldogs are 5-1. Following Beason's historic win, Ashville lost a heartbreaker to Glencoe, but then defeated St. Clair County High.
Ashville 61, Locust Fork 57
It was a game that went down to the wire as Ashville held on to defeat Locust Fork 61-57.
The Lady Hornets led 11-10 after the first quarter before Ashville took a 29-28 lead into halftime.
The third quarter swing Ashville's way as they opened up a 46-38 lead.
Locust Fork fought back in the fourth quarter, but the Lady Bulldogs prevailed, 61-57.
Four Ashville players scored in double figures, and leading the way was Lakeivia Looney with 16 points. Autumn Swearengin pumped in 12 points while Nikki Moss added 11 points. Anika Bothwell scored 10 points. Mollie Huff scored seven points and Kelcie Cross netted five points.
Beason said he and Coach Denise Mattison have worked hard with the girls in volleyball and basketball.
"When we excel in volleyball, it helps us in basketball, and the other way around," Beason said. "We have had some great players through the years. There was a two-year period recently where our basketball teams had records of 28-3 and 25-6.
"That is 53-9, and pretty good. What we have been able to accomplish in the past helps us now."
Glencoe 47, Ashville 45
Beason's 201st victory took a little longer than expected as the Glencoe Yellow Jackets stung the Lady Bulldogs, 47-45.
At one point late in the third quarter, Ashville led 39-30, but they were outscored the rest of the way, 17-6.
Ashville was up 12-11 after the first period and 28-24 at halftime. The lead was 39-32 headed into the fourth quarter, but that quarter belonged to Glencoe.
The loss was the first of the year for Ashville as they fell to 4-1 overall, and 0-1 in area play.
Leading the Lady Bulldogs was Chatara Stoudmire with 12 points. Looney had nine points and three steals while Bothwell scored eight points and grabbed eight rebounds. Swearengin had eight points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and blocked four shots. Huff scored five points while Moss finished the game with three points.
"We played hard," Beason said. "Glencoe was up for us because they had not beaten us in four years. We have had their number. This was like their championship game."
Immediately following the loss, Beason went to his calendar and circled Jan. 4, 2013.
"That's when we go to Glencoe," he said.
Ashville 65, SCCHS 15
Ashville returned to its winning ways with a 65-15 victory over the Lady Saints from St. Clair County Thursday.
The Lady Bulldogs were up 13-1 after the first quarter, and 33-5 at halftime. Ashville outscored SCCHS 32-10 in the second half to win the game 65-15.
Leading Ashville was Swearengin with 14 points. Close behind her was Erieanna Gilbert with 13 points. Moss pumped in 10 points while Stoudmire added nine points. Gilbert and Looney had six points each while Hannah Ashley scored three points. Cross and Huff had two points each.
Leading the Lady Saints was Nigiel Scroggins with six points. Moniqua Byers scored four points while Braxton Steele and Kyla Robinette had two points each. Brianna Clark had one point.

Special Offer
That Mondo Purse
How bad can toting an oversize bag of essentials be? "Carrying everything on one side of your body can lead to strain and fatigue of the back and shoulders," says health and fitness consultant Tim Moore, Ph.D. Plus, slumping compresses your lungs, so there's less oxygen to take to your muscles. That leaves you feeling bagged, er, bogged down.
Fatigue fighter: Dump out your bag and put back only what you need for the day -- you'll be way lighter and less lopsided without every nickel and lipstick you own.
Outdoor Happy Hours
Toasting with friends in the perfect weather is your Cosmo-given right. But imbiber beware: "Over a quarter of people have mild allergic reactions to the complex ingredients in beer and wine, which cause drowsiness the next day," says Dr. Chester. And booze also screws up your sleep. "Drinking causes sweating and snoring and can prevent deep sleep states," says Dr. Schwab. Add irritation from cigarette-smoke exposure and pollens and you have a triple whammy.
Fatigue fighter: Don't tipple too late, since even one drink stays in your system for hours. Order white wine or simple mixes like vodka tonics to reduce possible allergens.
A Big Secret
Think about what a drag it is keeping something little, like a surprise party, under wraps. Multiply that by 1,000 if it's serious -- like that you cheated on your guy, are drowning in credit-card debt or got a DUI. "Keeping a guilty secret is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater," says Neuharth. "It becomes a 24/7 low-level energy drain."
Fatigue fighter: Confess to a third party who won't judge you, like a neutral friend or a therapist. "Just telling someone breaks the isolation and neutralizes shame," says Neuharth. Still too scary? Post in an anonymous online support group first.
Too Much Cardio
A recent study from the University of Adelaide found that PMS hormones during weeks three and four of your menstrual cycle actually help burn fat when you exercise and rid your system of related wastes. But during the two weeks starting the day you get your period, those hormones dwindle, so you can feel wiped out faster.
Fatigue fighter: Drink extra water in weeks one and two to flush out waste, says Dr. Hamner. And eat 15 or so grams of protein (an energy bar, some meat) postworkout to help rebound.
Your iPod
True story: Struggling to hear can create physical stress. "Many people listen to their iPods at 115 decibels," says Ray Hull, Ph.D., an audiologist at Wichita State University. "That is as loud as a plane taking off and can damage your hearing and balance after 15 minutes." If you blast Rihanna before a big lecture, you then have to strain to hear, and you may be nap-ready before noon.
Fatigue fighter: Earbuds blast right onto your eardrums, so wear noise-canceling headphones instead and download iPod volume-control software.

Customer Support
January 2005
In this Customer Support Ruling
a determination will be made as to whether a "check"
is considered "personal information" and mailable only at
First-Class Mail or Express Mail rates.
This ruling concerns
the classification of a printed mailpiece with a "convenience"
check enclosed styled "To the order of John M. Doe." The "amount"
and "date" spaces on the check were left blank.
Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM) 233.2.3*, requires that matter containing personal information
must be mailed as First-Class Mail or Express Mail. Personal
information is any information specific to the addressee.
A check which is
made payable only to the addressee or a specific individual(s) is
personal correspondence and is mailable only at the First-Class
rates of postage. Examples include "Pay to the order of John Doe,"
or "Pay to Jane Doe or order." As explained in PS-26, a printed
"bearer check," styled, for example, "Pay to John Doe or Bearer"
would be acceptable at the Standard Mail rates.
Since the mailpiece
includes a check made payable
"To the order of
John M. Doe" it is First-Class Mail despite the "amount" or other
spaces such as "date" being left blank for completion. Similar
checks styled payable "To the order of" with the payee line left
blank are not required to be mailed as First-Class Mail.
*See also DMM 133.3,
333.2, and 433.2.

Stay current with what's happening in the business world. Headlines from this week include Google's Person Finder, emerging markets at the SXSW festival, and the impact capitol protests have had on downtown businesses.
Google gives '20%' to Japan crisis
Google famously gives its engineers "20% time," allowing them one day a week to work on side projects that interest them. That arrangement launched one of the most critical online tools in the Japanese relief effort: Google's Person Finder, which allows people to search for and post information about missing loved ones. Japan's Person Finder tool was available one hour after the quake, the team's fastest response to date. It now has nearly 250,000 records -- more records than all of the previous Person Finder sites combined. Google's Crisis Response team launched a new Picasa-based tool for the Japanese crisis. It allows people in emergency shelters to share photos, taken with their mobile phones, of the list of names of those housed at that shelter. The team is in the process of manually adding the names from those photos to Person Finder.

Group Texting May Be a Hit at SXSW
The annual South by Southwest music, film and interactive festival showcases new ideas and propels some new products into the national consciousness. This year's hit, if there is one, is likely to be one of the buzzed-about "group messaging" startups—GroupMe, Beluga, or textPlus, among others. Group chats are easy to arrange online through instant messaging services or social networking features such as Facebook Groups. But they don't work well on mobile devices, or if they do, they require a smartphone app and a decent cellular signal, which excludes lots of potential users. New to the market is GroupMe, designed to work for anyone, on any phone. In general, users set up groups either online or through a smartphone app and then invite members—family, colleagues, jam-band fans—to join. The service assigns each group a unique phone number; when a member sends a text to that number, everyone receives the message. There are nearly a dozen startups, most less than a year old, that hew to this basic framework, then add their own twist. GroupMe, which made its debut in August and says its users are now sending over a million text messages a day, emphasizes its ease of use.

Month of protests has mixed impact on Downtown businesses
The budget protests jammed streets and sidewalks, filled the Capitol and drew news media from afar, but the masses had a mixed impact on Downtown businesses. Even though many of the protest events were over by early evening, the hype around the events kept many from venturing to some Downtown businesses even after the crowds thinned. "For a segment of the businesses, this is really good," said Mary Carbine, executive director of the Central Business Improvement District. She hopes the exposure the protests provided will, in the long run, be positive for all Downtown businesses. "Many visitors from out of town were here and it does help them discover Downtown businesses. We hope they'll come back."

At the ceja de la selva (jungle's eyebrow), Chachapoyas is the capital of Peru's Amazonas department. The town is a good jumping-off point for exploring some of Peru's most fascinating and least-visited pre-Inca ruins. The giant fortress at Kuélap, the Gocta waterfall, the Karajia sarcophagi, and the ruins of Purunllacta and Gran Vilaya are nearby. Despite the Amazonas moniker, there's nothing junglelike about the area around Chachapoyas. The surrounding green highlands constitute what most people would call a highland cloud forest. Farther east, in the region of Loreto (won by Peru in the 1942 border dispute with Ecuador), you'll find true jungle.
Chachapoyas is a sleepy little town of 20,000. It has a well-preserved colonial center and one small archaeological museum. Chachapoyas—difficult to reach because of the poor roads through the mountains—is most easily accessed from Chiclayo. Infrequent flights arrive here from Lima as well.

text: Dan Crummett Archives Email Author Small Improvements Make a Big Difference Honda's new Big Red has some impressive ratings, and performance to match. Published on: Nov 17, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Yesterday, we told you of the improvements and improved load and towing capacities for the 2011 Honda Big Red. Today, we're telling you the machine can back up the ratings and, overall, is more comfortable and refined iteration of Honda's 2008 entry into the side-by-side utility vehicle market. The biggest news is a 1,000-pound cargo box load capacity, and a towing weight capacity boosted to 1,500 pounds. Figure in a tongue weight rated limit of 150 pounds, add them all together and go pulling and climbing with two people on board. The result, the engine sounds like it's working harder, but with a thousand pounds of sand in the cargo box and a 1204-pound trailer on back the overall rig will accelerate well, stops in a civilized straight line and climbed a rather ominous nearly 45-degree hill Honda had built for their machine's press debut. Even with the trailer on, the front end of the machine was stable at speed, and weight and pulled-load didn't affect handling -- other than asking more from the 675 cc fuel-injected single cylinder engine and automotive three-speed automatic transmission. "More" was always there. Fully loaded, the machine's "shift on the fly" 4WD rear diff lock, and 4WD "both" diff locks, was smooth and uneventful. Before we added the trailer, I'd taken the machine up the "tabletop" hill laid out before us and realized there was plenty of "guts" to climb fully loaded. On the downside, there were plenty of braking capacity, both pedal and "parking" to hold the load with complete control. The improved capacities come from a single-stage spring over an adjustable rear shock and a beefier rear suspension A-frame. With only one exception hammering around with the sand load, and later with the sand and the trailer, the machine remained within the load carrying limits of the rear shocks. Other than that one "bottoming" we always felt the machine was carrying the load in its prescribed manner. Other features that make the heavier loads possible include new wheel rim designs and a set of 4-ply Maxxis Big Horn tires, designed especially for Honda with stiffer sidewalls. Driving an unloaded 2011 Big Red is a good experience, too. The proven engine driving an automotive 3-speed automatic transmission shifts audibly (hard to tell if you really felt it shift, but you can hear it) and downshifts in a straight-forward manner that gives you extreme confidence pushing into corners on loose gravel. The overall stance of the machine makes power steering unnecessary, even in 4WD "double diff-lock" -- sure it's heavier, but nothing out of the ordinary. The new seat makes getting in and out of the 2011 Big Red easy, and engineers worked diligently to redesign the parking brake to make room for the extra seat between what was bucket seats in the original. And, while the seat back is three-position adjustable, like the original, you'll need wrenches to adjust it! A fully adjustable seat would be a good addition to this otherwise well-thought-out machine. Overall, the attention to detail in upgrading towing and load capacities involved more than slapping on new decals, but Honda had a proven platform that was already capable of handling the new weights. The way they made the machine live up to them -- and not sacrifice safety or mechanical margins, ride quality, or handling -- is a real success story. The new Big Red sports "incremental changes" but in our opinion, those changes come where it counts. Yours Truly and the Big Red with 20 50-pound sacks of sand in the bed along with the 1,200-pound trailer (background) we pulled, backed and climbed.Even with 1,000 pounds of weight in the cargo box the Big Red was quite stable on a serious side incline. The machine slides down the incline before it wants to tip.An artificial hill with inclines near 45 degrees was a good place to test the machine's "guts" as well as the parking brake on the backside. We gave it an "A" on both sides of the tabletop.The crux of the stouter load and tow ratings on the 2011 Big Red is the single stage spring and adjustable rear shock. The rear suspension A-frames also are of thicker material.A major improvement over the 2008 "last-gen" Big Red is the contoured one-piece bench seat in favor of the original buckets.While side safety curtains are a necessary pain, they do add to safety in case things go south. One improvement in the new Big Red is this set of nets roll up and clip out of the way for maintenance and other times you don't want them slapping you in the face. Hide Slideshow Captions

At age 15, the Reed High School sophomore was recently crowned Miss Washoe County's Outstanding Teen after a rigorous training regimen to prepare for the competition. While training for the upcoming Miss Nevada competition, consumes much of her free time, Inskip also maintains a full slate of Honors courses at Reed and plays a role in the school's Leadership class.
Inskip said preparing for the Miss Washoe County competition had her working on her speaking skills, practicing her presentation and more for four hours each Sunday with her director. Inskip said after claiming the title of Miss Washoe County she has grown very close to her director, who also facilitates any public appearances.
"I thought everything leading up to the pageant was it but that was just the beginning, but it is so much fun because I have a year of reign now and I am just trying to get as much as I can in with my year," Inskip said. "My director has become like my best friend because she was the one training me, but now that I have my title, I have gotten very close to her and I see her all the time. We are doing some sort of community service after school."
Inskip said the title of Miss Washoe County brings her great pride in knowing she assumes the power to make positive change in a variety of ways. As an example, Inskip said touring Renown Medical Center with the Leadership class was much different than touring it with her crown sitting atop her head.
"When you have a flashing crown on your head, people want to pay attention to you," she said, "And it is nice because you know you have the power to make a change for the better and not so much for selfish reasons. You know you are helping others."
Inskip competes for Miss Nevada in June where a win would send her to Las Vegas for a six-week training course for the Miss America pageant. She said she has one more year remaining as a "teen" and five more as a "miss" for the competitions, all of which she will be working closely with the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, which is her platform organization.
"I have always liked being onstage," Inskip said, "And that is what originally made me want to do it because I am a competitive person, and when I enter something, I think 'Let's do this thing and do it all the way.' After the fact that I have had my title, it really becomes about the individual people you meet along the way. I have met such incredible people and the little kids I have met are inspirational. It makes me want to cry. They make me love what I am doing because they look up to you."
On the school side of things, Inskip said her involvement in Leadership and the Mentoring Program have given her the most gratifying experiences around school. From reading through morning announcements on the Raider News Network to planning the dodgeball tournament and dress-up days for winter homecoming, to community service throughout the city, Inskip said Leadership has opened several doors for her to succeed.
"I have always been very independent and try to do everything myself, but I have learned to trust and work with people and I know that will help me further in life," Inskip said. "Also, with the community involvement, it is a good life lesson and I feel that everyone should be involved with their community because it is a good thing to have."
Since graduation is a couple years away, Inskip said she is taking her time in deciding what career path she is going to take when entering college. She said her pageant participation has equipped her with enough scholarship dollars to go out of state if she chose to, but she is holding off on that decision as well.
"I think I would do well in business or some sort of business management," she said. "I am really good with math so something along those lines would be great. I am just waiting for it to happen."

Was it something she ate? Pretty much!
Winona Ryder is making a grand return to the spotlight, and she's sharing some tricks of the trade she's learned along the way.
For one: Just say no to nibbling scenes. While filming the lesser-known 1990 teen comedy Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael, Ryder, then 19, says she learned this the hard way.
"There's a scene in my bedroom where I start eating Almond Roca," Ryder, 41, tells PEOPLE while promoting her new film The Iceman in New York City. "I was so young. It was before I knew the tricks of moviemaking, and I didn't know you shoot a lot of different angles."
Originally posted 04/30/2013 01:35PM
In The Iceman, Winona Ryder plays a woman in denial. A woman who doesn't seem to realize her husband is really a serial-killing hit-man.
And Ryder can relate – kind of.
"I think we all have stuff [from past relationships] we'd rather not think about," Ryder, 41, told PEOPLE Monday at the special New York screening hosted by Grey Goose. "Or things we remember differently in retrospect, or have selective amnesia [about]."
Originally posted 09/15/2012 03:00PM
Some things you totally see coming – that Bill Murray would be a great FDR in Hyde Park on Hudson, for instance. Or that Ben Affleck's Argo, about rescuing American embassy workers in Iran, would somehow nail the Hollywood satire/nail-biting escape genre. (Oh, who are we kidding? It created the Hollywood satire/nail-biting escape genre – and it's getting Oscar buzz to boot.)
Still, some things out of the Toronto International Film Festival continue to surprise, even now that the show's over.
Here are a few:

Winona Ryder wasn't surprised by Mel Gibson's profanity-laced, racially derogatory tirades caught on tape earlier this year. In fact, she claims the actor made offensive remarks to her many years ago.
"Fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk," Ryder, 39, tells GQ. "I was with my friend, who's gay. [Gibson] made a really horrible gay joke."
And he didn't stop there, the Black Swan actress says. "Somehow it came up that I was Jewish," Ryder says. "He said something about 'oven dodgers,' but I didn't get it. I'd never heard that before. It was just this weird, weird moment."
Originally posted 09/18/2010 06:00AM
Natalie Portman's extraordinary performance in Black Swan may have been a foregone conclusion, but there were some delightful moments in the Toronto International Film Festival that took me by surprise. Here are a few:
The Metaphysical Clint Eastwood:
The guy can do anything, sure. But who knew he wanted to explore such a big, ethereal question as what happens after you die? In Hereafter, he intertwines three stories of people who have brushes with death, including Matt Damon as a reluctant psychic, slowly unspooling their lives, then bringing them together in unexpected and not altogether tidy ways. It's certainly not Eastwood's best film, but it's a welcome departure for a man who tends to dwell in a world that's entirely more visceral and elemental.
Originally posted 05/27/2009 02:20PM
For the past seven years, Winona Ryder has lived mostly out of the spotlight.
Now, with a role in Star Trek and the release of another movie – The Private Lives of Pippa Lee – opening in Europe soon and in the U.S. in the fall, the actress, 37, is talking about the strain of being in the public eye.
Ryder, who was engaged to Johnny Depp after co-starring with him in 1990's Edward Scissorhands (they split when she was 19), says one of her first big challenges was dealing heartache during the height of her fame.
"I had just done Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak," she tells Pippa Lee director Rebecca Miller, who interviewed her for the U.K. edition of Elle, out Wednesday.
"And I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just thought I had everything in the world, you know, I had no reason to be depressed, everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost.
"I remember feeling, 'I can't complain about anything, because I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky.' After that I realized I needed to take time off more [regularly]."

Although she kept her cool, Paltrow said she was delighted in seeing her frenemy face humiliation. Who do you think was the "venomous and dangerous" person out to get Paltrow?
