FRISCO — Former UTSA standouts Marlon Anderson and Roderic Hall were named to the Southland Conference 1990s All-Decade Team, the league office announced on Monday.
Anderson was a two-year letterwinner from 1994-96 and he scored 1,150 points in just 56 games (20.5 ppg) with the Roadrunners, the most points in school history by a two-year player and eighth-most overall. The East Chicago, Ind., native's average ranks as the second-best mark in school annals and he did most of his damage from behind the 3-point line. The 1995 Southland Newcomer of the Year drained 192 treys, which ranks third all-time, and Anderson still holds the school record for 3-point field goal percentage at 41.5 percent. He connected from long distance 96 times in each of his two campaigns, which are tied atop the single-season 3-point field list. A two-time first-team all-conference selection and member of the 1996 All-Southland Tournament Team, Anderson owns two of the top 11 single-game scoring performances with 38 at North Texas on March 4, 1995, and 36 against Northwestern State on Feb. 17, 1996.
Meanwhile, Hall was a two-year letterwinner from 1996-98 and he tallied 835 points in 53 contests (15.8 ppg), which ranks 21st on the school's career scoring chart. The Yoakum native was named 1998 Southland Player of the Year and first-team all-conference after averaging 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a senior. The 1997 Southland Newcomer of the Year still holds the UTSA and Southland single-game scoring record with 52 against Maine on Dec. 6, 1997, and he also posted the sixth-best performance in school annals with 39 points at Louisiana-Monroe on Jan. 5, 1998. Hall's career scoring average is tied for sixth in school history and his 3-point field-goal percentage of 36 and 124 treys rank eighth and ninth, respectively, on the Roadrunners' all-time lists.
The pair joins 19 other players on the team, including 1990s Player of the Decade Reggie Jackson of Nicholls. Louisiana-Monroe's Mike Vining was voted Coach of the Decade.
The Southland previously has announced the All-Decade Teams in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and will recognize the All-Decade Team for the 2000s later this week.
To best assess the candidate pool for the all-decade team, the Southland developed a metric that analyzed numerous elements of a student-athlete's performance and value within the league at the time. Most notably, the conference honored "real-time" factors such as all-conference selection by coaches and a player's statistical performance among his peers at the time. Furthermore, other components of selection including a player's effort toward helping his team win a championship or finish near the top of the conference, whether he earned individual honors from the league, participated in postseason tournaments and/or was drafted by the NBA or ABA at the time.

Though taking a gap year has yet to win mass societal approval, it is getting a pretty big endorsement from one NYC school: Admitted students who opt to take time off between high school and college will now earn a full year of academic credit.
Eugene Lang College for Liberal Arts and Global Citizen Year have partnered to offer incoming students who have been admitted to both programs the opportunity to earn 30 college credits as they support development projects in other countries. Participating students will spend their seven-month "bridge year" living with local families and bettering their host communities by teaching English and working as peer mentors; instead of being one year behind students who started traditional classes the previous fall, they'll enter Lang as full-fledged sophomores. "There are a lot of worthy learning experiences in life but we don't give academic credit for them," said Stephanie Browner, the Lang dean overseeing participating students. "I think this is the right way to launch yourself into college."
Lang is the first school to join forces with Global Citizen Year but founder Abby Falik is eagerly anticipating the impact her program will have on college campuses across the country. Would you take advantage of this opportunity at your school? Why or why not?

For seniors in high school, it's about that time to dive into your college applications. The process is rather involved and has the potential to become very stressful but here's how you can go about it while retaining your sanity.
First, you likely already have a list of colleges you are considering but start narrowing down your top contenders. Look at the majors they offer and see if they have the programs you're interested in. Check the cost – financial aid may play a key role in what college you attend – and also see if they have activities that interest you (a sport you want to play, a specific student organization, a Greek system, an honors program, etc.). What's the on-campus housing situation and could you see yourself living in the dorms? Consider these questions and more when deciding whether or not to apply to a college.
Second, check all the application deadlines. Remember, besides the actual application, you must submit test scores, transcripts, recommendation letters and personal statements and you need adequate time to procure all of these items. Also, review the fees associated with each application; some schools let you apply for free or a discounted rate online but you should also consider requesting application fee waivers if money is tight.
Third, the personal statement is the biggest part of the college application because it represents your personality. You may have a high GPA, AP classes and extracurricular activities but so do many other students – what will set you apart from the rest of the application pool is how you present yourself in the personal statement. Have a teacher or parent review your personal statement and edit it for you before submitting it to your college of choice.
Fourth – and although this is fourth on this list, you still want to get it done early – request recommendation letters. Ask teachers you've worked with and trust well in advance if they can write on your behalf. Have two or three for each college that requires one. Along with your personal information/resume/school involvement list, give the teacher an envelope that is stamped and addressed to the college(s) to which you're applying so they can submit their letters directly.
Last but not least, take all your tests on time. If you haven't taken the ACT, SAT or SAT II tests, register for the next available date; check which tests your colleges require and sign up for those ASAP!

Show of hands, people: Who has ever applied to college or is considering applying to college by using the Common Application? As the list of schools accepting this document grows (there are currently 488 members), so will the number of college hopefuls opting to use it. It's incredibly convenient for students looking to apply to multiple schools but future applicants should know that big changes are afoot for the next admissions cycle.
According to representatives from the Common Application, changes – which will take effect on August 1, 2013 – include web-only submission and the removal of the popular "topic of your choice" essay option. Rules regarding the essays will also become more rigid: Students will be required to write at least 250 words but those who exceed the 500-word maximum will face an error message. Lastly, the ability to upload resumes will be eliminated unless specifically requested by a particular college.
What do you think of the Common App's new approach? Will you welcome the changes or will they deter you from using this application method altogether?

Samual Favela
Coming from two different campuses, I've encountered students who are reserved for the whole term and at the end, they finally open up and have amazing personalities. (Hey, where were you when I needed to pick someone for a group project?!) Yes, I know it may be hard for some people to open up because their insecurities may get the best of them but when you let go of that fear of being judged and not being accepted, you'll realize that is what is holding you back from having an amazing college experience! Trust me, I used to be the most awkward person and it wasn't until I started being honest with myself and everyone around me that I realized the personality I gave out was exactly what I was going to get back.
See, some college students assume that just because they don't click well with one person that they won't click well with all people. Reality check: It is impossible for everyone to be your friend – it would be so draining to be friends with everyone! Just be honest. Say what music you like (or don't like), say what shows you're into, say what your hobbies are...just don't lie so someone will like you. It's better to feel comfortable talking about one of the "weird" things you like than pretend you enjoy something that annoys you or you just don't agree with.
But don't get it twisted: When I say be honest and say what you feel, I'm not saying to be a complete punk. Just because people aren't your friends does not mean you can completely disregard them as human beings!

We've all been there: Going about our day as if we don't have a care in the world when it dawns on us that (go figure) that term paper on the pros and cons of procrastination in the creative process is due tomorrow. Panicked, we consider emailing our professor an excuse about a death in the family but given we killed off Nana (who's actually alive and well back home) last semester during finals week, we decide it's best to pull an all-nighter. The next day, we're irritable, unmotivated and just plain sluggish and while the simple solution is to overcome procrastination and not leave an assignment until the last minute, a Harvard student has suggested a different approach: a nap room on campus.
The Harvard administration is considering creating a designated nap room after sophomore Yugi Hou started an online petition. "Most students operate daily on a sleep deficit, to the detriment of their health and productivity," said Hou. "For those getting insufficient sleep at night, naps can provide alertness and help students take a break from their hectic schedules." Hou started the online petition through the Harvard Undergraduate Council's "We the Crimson" initiative, which is meant to foster direct dialogue between students and school administrators. Each month, the three petitions with the most votes are sent to the Dean of Harvard College for review. Harvard administrators have yet to make a decision on the initiative but Hou has said that until a siesta center is set up on campus, she plans on creating a "nap map" to help plot the best spots for students to nod off on campus.
If you're a fan of napping between classes, do you think it's your university's responsibility to provide nap rooms for students? Let us know what you think in the comments section.

Carly Gerber
During my time at college, I found myself unhappy and unfulfilled. I despised my major and I wasn't a fan of my campus. This being my second college, I figured it must be that college itself wasn't for me, so I decided to drop out. I took a few months to experiment with careers that didn't require college degrees but my choice to leave school kept haunting me.
In the midst of my time away from higher education, I came across a Chicago Tribune article which detailed common misconceptions students have about college....and I realized right away that I was one of those students! Here are just a few points the Trib covered:
After realizing the true importance of a college education, I knew what I had to do. Recognizing that it was the location of my school and the major I had chosen that were bothering me, I spent my time off figuring out a major I want to immerse myself in and finding a university in a location I can't wait to live. I'll be returning to school in the fall!

While it may come to no surprise that Michele Obama is urging young students to pursue a higher education, she's not the only one who understands its value. Take for instance Rapper Juicy J: He recently awarded a young woman a $50,000 "twerking" scholarship! Did we mention that her winning entry involved no twerking at all?
Last August, the Oscar-winning rapper launched the Juicy J Scholarship Foundation and tweeted that he would award the scholarship "to the best chick that can twerk." He later admitted that entrants were not required to do the popular dance move and that he would give the funds to the college-bound recipient who needed it most. And that individual was Zaire Holmes, a 19-year-old student at the State College of Florida. Holmes, a full-time mother and student, said in her video submission that her aspirations of becoming a doctor would require 11 years of schooling and that financial aid alone would not cover her expenses. Touched by her story, Juicy J announced her as the winner and said, "You remind me of myself. When I was 19, I was like really, really working hard." After her big win, the South Florida native shared her hopes of transferring from the State College of Florida to either the University of Florida or the University of South Florida to study medicine. (For more on this story, click here.)
What do you think of the rapper's take on giving back to the community? Let us know in the comments section.

Although one of Maine's high school track and field leagues did away with the junior-senior divisions a year ago, southern Maine coaches plan to keep it.
Kate Hall of Lake Region captured three events at the Class B championship meet last season – the 55 meters, 200 meters and long jump. And guess what? She did it all as a freshman.
2011 Press Herald File/John Ewing
Junior division results count toward a team's score, but it's generally for athletes working toward being on the same level with senior division athletes.
Last year the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference went to a one-division format, but the Western Maine Conference and SMAA have continued using the junior-senior system.
It's a strange practice to some, but here to stay based on the strong attachment held by coaches at least in southern Maine.
Ted Hutch, coach of York High's defending Class B state champion, staunchly defends using the practice.
"It gives them a fighting chance against kids their own age. It's developmental. I support keeping it. I'm for it. It seems to work," Hutch said.
Ron Kelly of Scarborough, whose teams have won eight straight Class A state championships, also sees value in the practice.
"Maybe they didn't like it. Maybe their numbers are smaller. I think it's probably a bigger advantage for junior and senior (division) kids. It's still better for the freshmen," Kelly said.
Gorham Coach Jason Tanguay said it's not fair to have a freshman boy compete against a senior.
But Diane Fournier, who has coached at Mt. Ararat High in Topsham for 30 years, disagrees.
The KVAC coaches also tried using the practice for a year for girls, but it didn't make sense, Fournier said.
"It took a while to figure out how it all worked, and the people in the stands couldn't figure it out. But I know all those teams in the southern part of the state love hanging onto it," Fournier said.
"People argue it's tough for freshmen to compete against seniors, but then what happens outdoors, there's no junior division? And people say, 'Well it's for development.' Who cares? You have to run with the big dogs to become a big dog."
Fournier said it made sense 30 years ago when there were few indoor tracks.
Now that Bates College in Lewiston and Bowdoin College in Brunswick have tracks, as well as the University of Southern Maine's track in Gorham, there are more venues to hold meets.
Brunswick boys' coach Dan Dearing wanted to keep the junior-senior system, although he's adjusted.
"I know there were bad feelings and I put it out of my mind. I do know the coaches planned to keep it but it was overturned by the athletic directors," Dearing said. "If people's emotions were ever up, they certainly were over that. But I think the league is strong and moving on.
"We won the KVAC several times while we had the junior scoring being done. But on paper with those juniors taken out, we still would have won those meets."
Many other coaches said the development edge kids get in the junior-senior format, particularly boys who may not have reached their full height, is more important than providing a level playing field.
Greely Coach John Folan said he would fight if the Western Maine Conference got rid of it.
"We had an athlete in recent years, he threw 37 feet as a sophomore and as a senior threw 53 feet. That's a perfect example. He was not the same man as a senior. If he had faced those kids as a sophomore, he'd have been devastated," Folan said.
"I don't agree with how the KVAC does it. I like the way we do it. Good luck to the KVAC. In our meeting a few weeks ago, no one brought this up. It's a non-issue."
But even to some coaches who support it, the junior-senior division always will be an unusual format.
"I went to college in Massachusetts and nobody had heard of it there. We're either first or last in Maine, depending on what you're talking about," said Thornton Academy Coach George Mendros.

PolarSSL is a light-weight cryptographic and SSL/TLS library written in C. PolarSSL makes it easy for developers to include cryptographic and SSL/TLS capabilities in their (embedded) applications with as little hassle as possible. Loose coupling of the components inside the library means that it is easy to separate the parts that are needed, without needing to include the total library. PolarSSL is written with embedded systems in mind and has been ported on a number of architectures, including ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, and Motorola 68000. The source is written to have very loose coupling, enabling easy integration of parts in other software projects. Very loosely coupled cryptographic algorithms for MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA-256, SHA-512, AES, Camellia, DES, Triple DES, ARC3, and RSA are included.
The Crossplex package of make macros simplifies the creation of embedded systems, and is powerful enough for large organizations to use for developing elaborate product lines. It allows you to organize many different products under a logical structure, making systems of any complexity easy to specify. When you have many different target platforms, each with multiple different software configurations, Crossplex keeps those configurations from stepping on each other, without requiring redundancy in your source tree. Crossplex allows you to use a single dependency tree encompassing both in-house software and third-party packages, and it is particularly suited to build automation. Crossplex makes it easy to shield your build from the host environment, setting all shell variables explicitly, and giving you complete control over the path that is used at any point in the build. This is nice when you want to support building on a variety of development platforms. Crossplex scales to your needs. You can dabble in the unpacking and patching features as you need them, or you can base your entire system from the ground up on the Crossplex framework. Crossplex supports creation and use of glibc and uClibc toolchains.
ntdisp, short for NtD In System Programming, is a system for programming LPC and STM32 (and possibly other) embedded devices. It provides three different frontends, a GObject-based library (for developers), a commandline utility (for computer geeks), and a GTK+3 frontend (for less geeky users).
EJDB is an embedded JSON database engine. It aims to be a fast MongoDB-like NoSQL library that can be embedded into C/C++/Nodejs/Python3/Lua applications. It features collection-level write locking, collection level transactions, string token matching queries, and a Node.js binding.
The KoreLogic Expression Language Library (libklel) is a C library that provides a simple expression language that can be embedded in other programs. It does not implement a full programming language, but rather a simpler expression language called KL-EL that is designed to provide arithmetic and logic operations in situations where embedding a full programming language would be overkill. KL-EL can access functions and variables exported from the embedding program, and is statically and strongly typed, which helps ensure that expressions are valid before they are executed. The embedding API is easy to use, and the library itself is very small.
OnPosix is a tiny library to abstract POSIX mechanisms to C++ developers. Most features offered by this library can be found either inside the Boost library or in a library compliant with the C++11 standard. Unfortunately, however, for some embedded Linux devices, these libraries cannot represent viable solutions, due to the lack of memory space (for the Boost libraries) and the lack of a new C++ compiler (e.g., on Xilinx MicroBlaze). On these platforms, the OnPosix library represents a good and cheap solution to have object-oriented POSIX mechanisms. The library offers support for threads, mutual exclusion, sockets, logging, timing, etc.

Network World - We tested the Lenovo ThinkServer RD630 in our network operations center cabinet at nFrame in Carmel, Ind., and found that it fits the bill if you're looking for a powerful, versatile 1/2U server.
The biggest limitation, we found, is that the standard sample we were sent has just two or three (depending on configuration options chosen) Gigabit Ethernet ports, which may limit its usefulness in high-traffic environments unless optional Ethernet cards are installed.
10 things we love/hate about Lenovo ThinkServer
The basic kit includes the server, rack rails, power cord, and DVDs with software and guides. The rack rails looked a little flimsy, but surprisingly they installed in seconds, snap snap, repeat. The instructions said to use two people to attach the server, but one of us, the gutsy one, lifted the RD630 perilously onto the extended rails, went snap snap, repeat, and the 2U server unit was attached, and ready to slam back into the cabinet.
There were the usual dual power supply connections. Warnings also state to keep the temperature under 35C/95F, but the nFrame NOC can chill a quart of milk for months. There were three Ethernet jacks to connect, one of which can be used for the ThinkServer management components. We fired it up, and wondered if there should be a warning for excess noise. The ThinkServer, like HPs and the old Apple Xserver we use, would be at home at an international airport. Like the HP, however, you can turn down the fans if you're so disposed. The Apple sounds like it's been on the runway for several years now, waiting patiently to take off.
Options and Considerations
The ThinkServer comes with two DVDs, one RAID Configuration Tool, and the other Documentation. There's room on the face of the RD630 for a DVD drive and our unit came with one; finding a DVD drive is unusual in 1U and 2U servers so we were happy with having one for boot options. We could also use Intel's PxE Boot to bring up the server, but having a DVD drive was a joy.
On the RD630's front face are eight slots for 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives. We liked the VGA jacks on the front and back, but there are only three Gigabit Ethernet jacks, and one of these is likely to be used for management backplane access leaving just two Gigabit Ethernet connections for the server and any VM guests or web processes on the machine. We'd like to see more-- and even 10G Ethernet jacks. There's plenty of musculature in the Lenovo RD630 and it's a shame to be weakly connected.
However, those desiring more or faster (think 10G Ethernet) connectivity have the ability to use up to five PCI Express card slots on the two risers built inside the server. However, be aware that the PCI Express bus will throttle lots of network cards because of its own bus speed limitations. Were we to order additional Ethernet cards, we'd ask for a TCP Offload Engine Card (TOE) or otherwise intelligent Ethernet cards that have onboard processors so as not to slow down first the PCI bus, but also to prevent constant processor interruptions.

|Royal Marines and US Marines Clash on Rugby Field
|International - International News
Playing as part of a multi-sport challenge between the British and US marine corps, the two teams enjoyed an entertaining game where the Americans competed well despite being heavy underdogs.
"I'd seen them go against other teams, and in practice," said John Jacobs, the coach for the All Marine Team. "After seeing them play I have to admit I was a little nervous. Nevertheless, we were determined to match their play and hit them hard."
On the sidelines to cheer for each of the teams was Gen. James F. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, and Commandant of the British Royal Marines Maj. Gen. Buster Howes.
The British Marines got on the scoreboard quickly and kept the pressure on throughout. A shutout, however, was thwarted when the All Marine team got over the tryline with seconds left in the first half.
The Americans put on an aggressive effort in the second half, but the British were far more refined in their play.
"I was very happy with the effort my guys put out," Jacobs said. "We didn't give up anything."
"It was outstanding. It was one of the better games we've played," said Royal Marines head coach Taff Williams. "Their fitness is spot on. They hit hard; they hit very hard."
After the match, Amos presented each of the British players with their gold medals and presented the winning trophy to Joshua Theophanides, the team captain.
With both teams gathered around, Amos had a few words for them.
"We have had a long history with each other," Amos said. "And I have never seen us more united than how we are today."

of a panel discussion on "Championing sustainable innovation
in the North American automotive supply chain". CBS Detroit
journalist and long-time auto industry reporter Matt Roush

is it that advanced manufacturing and environmental innovations
with the potential to realize significant savings in key indicators
such as energy use, materials use and manufacturing costs
fail to realize their potential impact on business growth
and environmental sustainability? What strategic steps can
organizations in the automotive supply chain take to identify,
champion and drive the implementation of innovative processes
and technologies that improve the environment while providing
economic value to the North American automotive supply chain?

potential – with area companies, we can start to address
the gaps and build a more robust infrastructure that will
help the auto industry and beyond to leave a smaller footprint."

Established in 1997, before the D-backs ever played a Major League game, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation began giving back to the fans of Arizona. Since its inception, the D-backs Foundation has donated more than $17 million statewide. Funds for the D-backs Foundation are raised through events such as Evening on the Diamond, Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation Broadcast Auction, "Shirts Off Our D-backs," and other team-related activities. The Arizona Diamondbacks take great pride in being recognized as a leader in community giving. Our commitment to the needs of our state will continue to be a cornerstone of our corporate mission.
The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation began awarding Grand Slam Award grants in 2002 to make a larger impact on community organizations by providing a grant in the amount of $100,000 or more. Overall, 29 Grand Slam Awards totaling $3 million have been distributed from 2002-12.
Previous Grand Slam Awards recipients that were awarded $100,000 to improve youth programs included Junior Achievement of Arizona to prepare children to succeed in a global economy and to Great Hearts Academies' Teleos Prep Academy to be the first of its kind in the metro Phoenix area to deliver a top-tier, college prep education in a low-income community. The $100,000 grants have also assisted with indigent healthcare concerns in the Valley by providing Clinica Adelante a 39-foot mobile medical clinic to provide health-care services at 17 schools in 11 rural communities and establishing a D-backs Good DeedWorks program with SARRC to provide teens with autism disorders training, mentoring and volunteer experiences as a means of occupational therapy. Additional grants were awarded to homeless causes such as the Desert Mission Food Bank to provide a refrigerated truck to deliver food throughout the Valley and to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's evening meal program.
The Grand Slam Awards are made possible by fundraising efforts by the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation and by contributions from the D-backs' Partnership Group.
Grand Slam Award applications will be made available in May. Please check back soon.
In addition to the Grand Slam Awards, program grants are given statewide to non-profit organizations in the amounts of $1,000 to $5,000. Funds for these grants are raised throughout the season through team fundraising events, including the annual Evening on the Diamond benefit dinner, Shirts Off Our D-backs and additional events. All 501(c)3 non-profit organizations in Arizona are welcome to apply for funding, however funding must be for serving the people of Arizona.
The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has awarded more than 860 program grants totaling $4 million since 1998.
Program Grant applications will be made available in May. Please check back soon.
Since 2000, Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has built or refurbished over 32 baseball fields as part of the "Diamonds Back" Youth Field Building Program. The fields are built through the aid of corporate sponsor APS, local businesses, funds from Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation and monetary donations from individual players. Fields are dedicated in Diamondbacks players' names and generally feature new lights, an electronic scoreboard, new fencing and backstops, new irrigation and new dirtwork and/or grass. The locations of the fields are determined through a grant process.
More about the Diamonds Back Field Building program »
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation are devoted to youth sports across Arizona. In 2013, the D-backs Give Back PLAY BALL fund, supported by Chase and Western Refining, will support the outstanding efforts of Arizona's dedicated parents, mentors, and coaches to expand the game of baseball and softball and inspire Arizona's kids to PLAY BALL. Our goal is to ensure that every child who has a desire to learn and play the D-backs way -- has that opportunity.

Teachers Unhappy With Contract's $750 Penalty Clause
Lorri Connor April 2, 2014 at 10:08 pm
GDFO and Laura...Where to even start? I'll go out on a limb and guess that neither of you have ever…Read More taught. Your comments are typical of the uninformed. Do you REALLY think this issue is as simple as teachers wanting the freedom to capriciously change their minds and break a contract? You cannot be THAT obtuse! Perhaps some "homework" is in order. I don't have the energy or motivation to school either of you in the debacle that is the DCSD. The facts are readily available at the DeKalb School Watch 2 website or you can simply Google it. However, neither of you will bother of course, because it's easier to run your mouth...like drool running out of a toddler's mouth. Mindless chatter at best. If a piece of paper that says "We reserve the right to pay you anything we feel like, and change your salary for any reason at all, AND we're NOT going to tell you how many days we're hiring you for," sounds like a contract to you then I'm guessing that neither of you are lawyers, either. Oh yeah, and those young teachers you're so excited about? They'll be gone within 5 years. That's a fact. So, DeKalb will become simply a clearing house for newbies who want to "try out teaching," like a new outfit, and when they get a taste of the disrespect the two of you have dished up, they'll find something that pays infinitely more money and requires far less time and effort and the likes of you two will be a BIG part of the reason that happens. You must be so proud.
DM April 3, 2014 at 03:21 pm
gdfo Its clear that you are clueless with respect to your business knowledge. Yes if you buy a car…Read More you can return it as long as it is done within the first 30 days of buying it. The dealer gets paid from the bank you signed the contract with 30 days later, that's when your loan gets booked in the banks system and a account number is issued. By your lack of car buying knowledge it's clear that you are riding around in a car that's worth 1.00 and you owe 10000.00. The same goes for divorce, have you ever heard of a little word called "annulment". Now with respect to teachers! Georgia is a write to work state therefore contracts are non-binding. I have seen the Deklab County teachers contract and it is one sided, the county needs to stop being a low budget county and pay teachers what they should get pain. People are leaving because most are tired of dealing with parents on public assistance, parents that are uneducated, unsafe schools, low pay and unsafe working conditions. As tax payers how can one take short cuts on their kids education! The teachers need to unionize! Laura If you did your research you would find that teachers are not government workers and their benefits are below industry standards. Example 1: teachers have a $6000.00 deductable before any out of pocket is met. Example 2: an average teacher makes 36000.00 per year in Deklab County that's 1384.00 every 2 weeks. After taxes they bring home about 800.00 every 2 weeks or 1600.00 a month. How can a younger teacher (as you stated) with student loans live off that and afford medical benefits offered by the county? How can a family live off that? Think before you speak, it's clear that you don't have all the facts!
Lorri Connor April 3, 2014 at 06:45 pm
DM- You hit it right on the head. Dealing with stagnant pay for a decade is one thing, but dealing…Read More with the extreme degree of ignorance along with the accompanying disrespect and pure viciousness that permeates the air whenever the topic of teachers comes up is what has done it for me. Buh-bye, DeKalb. Didn't sign that rag they call a contract and happily sat and watched the 5 PM deadline come and go this evening. There's NOWHERE to go but up from here!

The singer Emmy Rossum is known mostly for her various television (Shameless) and film performances (The Phantom of the Opera) but she also has the trained pipes of an accomplished singer. We're not talking about the sort of actress, who uses their fame to influence the music industry to play along with their middling vocal talents (see: Scarlett Johansson). Rossum can truly bring the noise as she clearly shows in her new album Sentimental Journey, a collection of old timey jazz standards (Autumn Leaves, Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out) and retro-swinging country (Things, Pretty Paper). The album is on order so keep an eye out for it. It will be here soon. Listen to some of her renditions here.

From the minute you hear Kristen Bell's hard-boiled voiceover, it's clear that some things never change — though Veronica might allege she has. Veronica Mars' titular hero claims to have moved on from her time as a teen detective ("Trust me, I know how dumb that sounds.") in favor of a prestigious career as a New York lawyer. Though Veronica might claim to be a marshmallow now, when she learns Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) is a murder suspect (again!) she doesn't hesitate before resorting back to the righteously indignant and dogged detective we fell for all those years ago.
So who's Logan suspected of murdering this time? None other than Carrie Bishop (Andrea Estella), or as the world now knows her, Bonnie DeVille, troubled pop star and Logan's ex-girlfriend. (How many dead ex-girlfriends can one guy have?)
Can't wait to find out more? Here are eight things to know about the Veronica Mars movie before its premiere:

Now, they must deal with jealousy and suspicion, Angela's over-demanding boss (Lara Flynn Boyle), plus all the drama caused by their happily married best friends Danny (John Corbett) and Sylvie (Katie Finneran). It all adds up to one uproarious battle of the sexes in this romantic comedy that truly delivers!

The No. 1 broadcast network delivered a welcome jolt of energy to its day in the TCA press-tour spotlight when CBS CEO Leslie Moonves, one of network TV's most boisterous showmen and champions, took the stage Monday morning for the first time since 2005 (filling in at the last minute for entertainment president Nina Tassler, called away for a friend's funeral). Bluntly bullish on CBS's prospects for the new season ("We're confident we're going to be up this year"), Moonves credited stability as a primary factor for the network's long-term success.
"It's great to be able to renew 20 shows. It really is. ... When you can do that, it makes it easier to launch shows when you're launching them in positions that are behind successful shows. Obviously, it doesn't work all the time [RIP, Vegas and Golden Boy], but it leads to a degree of being able to win year after year." Moonves suggested the streak won't last forever, pointing to NBC's fall from grace when it couldn't find new hits to replace Friends and ER. But given the lackluster state of so much of this new fall season, it's hard to imagine any rival unseating CBS anytime soon.

1. Cardinals (2): They entered last week two games behind the Pirates and ended it tied for first place in the NL Central. Played just well enough to sweep the Marlins.
2. Tigers (4): Vaunted lineup was clicking last week — 49 runs in seven games and homers from seven players. Taking two of three in Cleveland, they swatted away the Indians' advance.
3. Red Sox (5): Baseball's best lineup leads the majors in extra-base hits and the AL in stolen bases. Jacoby Ellsbury is on pace to steal 65 bases.
4. Rangers (1): Troubling week for a pitching staff that allowed the Mariners and Astros to score 35 runs in six games. No starting pitcher had gone seven innings over the last eight games through Sunday, with Justin Grimm (two) and Nick Tepesch, now on the disabled list, failing to last five innings. There's urgency in the hunt for a rotation workhorse.
5. Pirates (3): The deserving Pirates have four All-Stars for the first time since 1981.
6. Reds (8): How good is Homer Bailey? Aside from his two no-hitters, he's 16-16 with a 3.86 ERA and an average of less than 61/3 innings per start. Pretty average, but he was ferocious in his one start against the Giants in the 2012 NLDS.
7. Athletics (10): No team in the majors hits fewer ground balls. That trend started last season, so it hasn't been a bad one and probably isn't accidental, in terms of how Billy Beane constructed his team.
8. Diamondbacks (11): How much pitching would these guys have if Brandon McCarthy and Daniel Hudson were healthy? Tyler Skaggs, Wade Miley and All-Star Patrick Corbin held the Rockies to two runs in 24 innings at Chase Field over the weekend.
9. Rays (12): Dismiss a Joe Maddon team at your own risk. Like the White Sox, they were 24-24 after 48 games. They then went 25-16, while White Sox went 10-27.
10. Braves (7): Take away his white-hot April and Justin Upton is hitting .219 with three homers and 20 RBIs. Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers doesn't make many bad decisions.
11. Orioles (6): Temporary downturn for the lineup. A bigger cause for concern is closer Jim Johnson being on pace for 11 blown saves.
12. Yankees (14): Just the thought of having Derek Jeter in the second half has helped the Yankees find their footing.
13. Nationals (15): They gave up a good pitching prospect (Ivan Pineyro) to get Scott Hairston from the Cubs. That shows how aggressive Mike Rizzo will be as he tries to tweak the roster to help Davey Johnson win in what likely will be his last season in the dugout.
14. Angels (17): They've gotten off the carpet but have a lot of ground to cover in competing against teams like the Rangers, A's, Orioles, Rays and Yankees.
15. Dodgers (18): The willingness to pay all of Ricky Nolasco's contract allowed the Dodgers to get him without sending top prospects to the Marlins.
16. Indians (9): They've seen about enough of Carlos Carrasco, haven't they? They could step up to get Matt Garza or another proven arm before the All-Star break.
17. Blue Jays (13): They won only five of the next 19 after an 11-game winning streak that moved them over .500. Can they face reality and become a midseason seller after the big buildup?
18. Phillies (22): Ryan Howard's trip to the disabled list might convince GM Ruben Amaro to listen to offers for Chase Utley and Michael Young, if not Cliff Lee and Jonathan Papelbon.
19. Royals (19): Would they trade any of their bullpen arms, such as Aaron Crow and Luke Hochevar?
20. Rockies (16): The starting rotation's 4.61 ERA ranks 13th in the NL, ahead of only the Padres and Brewers.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
Raw Meat Sandwiches
In my family, every Christmas until about 10 years ago we would have raw ground beef with onions, salt and pepper server on a cracker. And it was good. I don't remember anyone getting sick over the years, however as the grandparents passed away, my family kind of just stopped doing it.
'Cannibal sandwiches' sicken Wisconsin residents
"Cannibal sandwiches," an appetizer featuring raw, lean ground beef served on cocktail bread, may be a Wisconsin tradition, but they are not safe, health officials said, noting that more than a dozen people became ill after consuming them last holiday season.
Health officials confirmed four cases tied to E. coli bacteria and 13 likely cases in people who ate the sandwiches at several gatherings late last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a report issued this week. The meat came from a Watertown market that later recalled more than 2,500 pounds of meat.
Cannibal sandwiches were tied to outbreaks in Wisconsin in 1972, 1978 and 1994. The appetizer, also called "tiger meat," "steak tartare" or simply "ground beef," is usually a simple dish of lean ground meat seasoned with salt and pepper on rye cocktail bread with sliced raw onion, said Milwaukee historian John Gurda, who served it at his 1977 wedding reception. Occasionally, a raw egg will be mixed with the meat.
Cannibal sandwiches have been a festive dish in German, Polish and other ethnic communities in the Milwaukee area since the 19th century, Gurda said. The 66-year-old said it was once common to see them at wedding receptions, meals following funerals and Christmas and New Year's Eve parties. The dish has become less common in recent years with greater awareness of the risks of uncooked meat and fewer people eating beef, but Gurda said he still runs into it.

best bridal party gift! I bought this for my bridal party. I absolutely love them! They are the perfect size for the things they will need to carry with them.

I was looking for a reasonable gift for them and something that they would use again. Not only can they carry them inside their purses for the wedding but they can also use them for other events as well. October 7, 2013
Spa Day Perfection! My sister is getting married and instead of a bachelorette party she wanted to do a spa day so as a fun favor type gift I ordered these for the 10 people coming to the spa day and they turned out better than I could've imagined!!! These will be a great addition to the day! September 3, 2013
Nice Bag I ordered these cosmetic bags as gifts for my bridesmaids & 1 for my mother & myself. These bags are nice size for all of your essentials and you still have room. I ordered all black bags with the begonia color for the initials. I chose black because in the past my cosmetic bags has gotten really dirty. I would certainly recommend this cosmetic/travel bag. May 3, 2013
Large in Size@ These are very large - especially in comparison to the matching totes that I bought to go with them. I am very pleased. My only disappointment is that I did not pay attention and match the font on these bags to the font I chose for the matching totes - but that was my fault. I filled these with cosmetic type things (chapstick, travel size hairspray, Aleve, etc) for my bridesmaids and put in the matching totes full of towels, sunglasses, flipflops etc for what I think is a very cute and practical gift for each of my girls for a summer lake wedding.

Things I'm Lovin' Thursday ~ 2/23/2012
Today I'm switching things up and doing my Things I'm Lovin' Thursday a little differently. I decided that instead of posting about something that I'm currently loving, I'm going to post about something that I have mixed feelings about. It's always more interesting to talk about controversial topics anyway
I've always had a love-hate relationship with the
dreadmill treadmill. While I appreciate it's usefulness, I find running in place to be so boring. I sometimes even feel like a hamster running on a wheel.
Plus (and maybe more importantly), I also think that I stride differently when I run on a treadmill. My step seems longer and I feel bouncy. It's totally different from running on the pavement and my constant fear is that the difference in my stride will eventually lead to an injury
As a result, I try to run on the treadmill as little as possible. I mean who wants to get injured right?
Recently I started to wonder if my concerns were justified. Do runners stride differently outdoors vs. indoors? Is training on a treadmill equivalent to training outside?
I did some research on the topic and here's what I found:
- Running on the treadmill offers similar fitness and caloric benefits to running outside but it differs in that you don't have to deal with wind resistance or uneven surfaces. The result is slightly easier running conditions (approximately 2-10% less workload). You can overcome this by setting the treadmill to an elevation level of 1 or 1% (source).
- Runners often let the treadmill change their stride to a more upright, bouncy form with a shorter, less powerful stride. Other runners may lean too far forward when on a treadmill in order to "keep up with the belt". Both of these alterations are detrimental to running form and may increase risk of injury (source).
- The most common problem associated with treadmill running is the tendency of the moving belt to "grab" your feet and pull them back under your body. This can result in a stumbling, shuffling stride that places excessive stress on your knees, hips and back. To avoid this quickly lift your feet off the belt, your goal is to of have a quick, compact stride (source).
- Running outside gives you greater variability and challenge because of the different terrains, but running on cement can be risky when it's wet or icy outside and cement sidewalks can be jarring on your knees and ankle joints (source).
- Treadmill runs are less difficult than outdoor runs because they require less muscle fibers, coordination, and balance and the treadmill belt actually propels you slightly forward so you do less work (source).
- When you are training for an outdoor event, it is advised that you do at least 60% of your training outside so that your body is prepared for both the extra demand of running outdoors as well as running in different weather conditions (source).
- Benefits of treadmill running include: no weather or terrain issues, can stop whenever you want, can workout and watch t.v., a smooth and cushioned surface that is better on the joints, and no concerns about personal safety (source).
I also came across a great article from Runner's World called The Upside of Running on a Treadmill that listed 9 reasons to embrace running on a treadmill:
1 It's the only way to do a tempo run on a cold, sleety morning without cursing your existence.
2 No need to obsess over your mile splits since the belt demands an even pace.
3 Get your legs used to Boston's hills even if you're in Boise.
4 No more rushing out the door to squeeze in a run while there's still daylight.
5 Less layering, less shivering, and less laundry to do.
6 You don't have to shove 45 pounds of child and jog stroller up a hill in front of you.
7 You can do hill repeats without having to find steep grades—or pound down them.
8 A cushioned treadmill belt is more inviting when coming back from an injury.
9 You feel less guilty watching Gossip Girl when you're running.
So after reading all of this information, I have to say that my perception of treadmills has changed a bit. I definitely now can see some of the benefits of the dreadmill and understand why many people prefer the treadmill to running outside.
Does this mean my personal feelings for running on the treadmill have changed? Probably not, but at least now I'm informed about the benefits and risks of running on one
So how about you, treadmills: love them or hate them?

More Tubes: Air, Exhaust, And Agua
The Fun buggy is getting closer and closer To the trail. in case you've missed previous episodes, i've been working on this fun buggy project for just over two years. I started with computer-aided design, then chassis fabrication, suspension, and drivetrain layout. now we are moving into some of the final stages of the build. i'm working with the crew at poly performance, where we have been putting in weekends and evenings to showcase the many products poly performance offers for anyone looking to build their own rock buggy.
For this month's progress on the Fun buggy we did lots of plumbing. With the layout of the buggy we decided on a rear-mounted radiator. This required piping the coolant back and forth to the ron Davis radiator from the front-mounted Chevy V-8. in addition, we needed a custom exhaust to clear all the drivetrain and suspension components. Feeding that healthy 383ci V-8 is a canister air filter and intake from unique Metal products (uMp), which also needed some plumbing to get to the throttle body. so now the 13/4-inch DOM steel tube chassis is accessorized with plumbing made of silicone, aluminum, and stainless steel. Tune in next time when we continue on the interior, truss up the rear axle, and hopefully get some fuel running to the engine. For more detailed photos and up-to-the-minute updates, check out the project vehicle section, blogs, and forum on our Web site, www.4wheeloffroad.com.
