The Sak Iris Satchel 24 24
Perfect iPad Case! This satchel is a really great size! It is not too big to carry as a regular purse, but big enough to carry my iPad when I need to take it with me. It is flat and rests well against the body. It is stylish with great stitching accents. Rolls up perfectly for compact packing. Big enough to be an easy shore bag. Strap is long enough to fit across the body and has a shoulder pad to make carrying heavier items comfortable. July 2, 2010
not travel smith standard This bag looks nice BUT is poorly made. The strap is secured ONLY by a single line of low quality stitching. Mine broke after a week and the leather repair shop I approached said they couldn't fix it either with stitches or rivets because of the location of the zipper. NOT Travel Smith standard - should not be in their catalogue. March 24, 2011
Excellent for travel I purchased the copper one and love the color; it will go with everything. It will be terrific for travel--close to the body, comfortable crossbody strap, room for alot, small outside safe pockets for passport. I will use it for every trip. May 7, 2010
Great Bag This bag is roomy without being too big. Strap is adjustable and the color is a very pretty wintery teal shade. The lining inside is very attractive. I am very pleased with the bag. January 27, 2014
Very satisfied! After my last trip with a too-small cross body bag that would not hold my phone & 2 sunglass cases, I was in search of a larger bag which was not too big or bulky. It took me awhile but then I saw this one. I have not used it yet but was very pleased with the quality, the size and the style. The pretty teal color is more fun than black and will work with lots of other colors. Can't wait to try it on our next trip... December 31, 2013
Not so good This bag was a good size and configuration for me--there was a place for all the things I carry. However, the finish was tacky, and after a month started to rub off (from "pyrite" to red). Other reviewers have noted that its handle sometimes breaks and cannot be repaired; I noticed that the ends were beginning to fray. While traveling in Europe, I bought a replacement bag and put this one in a nearby trash can. October 4, 2011
Poor Quality I love the size of the bag and that you can easily wear it cross-body. However, the strap pulled out after using it only twice while I was on vacation. I am trying to return the purse but no longer have the receipt. I would love to try another one but I am afraid that it too will be poorly made. I would not recommend anyone taking a chance with this. May 30, 2011
Beautiful soft leather....but The leather on this purse is really soft. I love it but I really wish that they had used leather on the strap. The webbing as the handle takes the purse from really classy to nice but.... Rethink this design, please SAK use the leather and I would be back for more colors. March 30, 2011

Scrubbing history
Is history-scrubbing the newest trend in the news media? In an editorial this week advocating filibuster reform, the Los Angeles Times observed: "Sen. Strom Thurmond famously stood for more than 24 hours in his futile attempt to block the Civil Rights Act of 1957 — now they invoke it on a so-called motion to proceed." The Associated Press Stylebook advises editors to "include party affiliation if readers need it for understanding or are likely to be curious about what it is." Sen. Thurmond was a Democrat in 1957.
About the same time, Philadelphia Inquirer writer Dick Polman, commenting on the new hit movie "Lincoln," wrote: "For four years, he had been ridiculed by the conservative opposition party as too liberal, and by liberals in his own party as not liberal enough." The party he was referring to was the Democratic Party.

POSTED: 12:00 PM Jul 24 2013 UPDATED: 12:03 PM Jul 24 2013
Most people who have ever gotten a speeding ticket feel like their state is the worst place to get one. The truth is, some states are far worse as far as likelihood to get a speeding ticket and how expensive it's likely to be. Take a look at the worst states for speeding tickets.

"A great little washer - easily programmable."
BioTek's ELx50 is a fast and versatile automated strip washer which comes equipped with our patented Dual-Action™ 16-channel manifold.
This breakthrough design allows for independent control of the dispensing and aspiration manifolds for overfill washing and overflow protection in both 96- and 384-well formats. The problem of fitting dispensing and aspirate tubes into a much smaller 384-well is solved with the ELx50.
Additionally, in its 96-well format, the Dual-Action manifold provides incomparable wash performance with two sets of dispensing and aspiration tubes per well. This exclusive method of two-fold aspiration guarantees low residuals. The new ELx50 Auto Strip Washer is the perfect solution for low volume users of both 96- and 384-well microplates.
The ELx50 Filter Microplate Washer is a new vacuum filtration solution for processing 96-well filter bottom plates. With its unique aspiration carrier, the ELx50 FMW accommodates a range in filter pore sizes and fluid viscosities with selectable vacuum levels and aspiration times and for completely automated filter bottom plate washing. Additionally, the washer's modular platform allows for processing standard solid bottom plates used in a laboratory's many traditional ELISAs and cell based assays.

Just got my PN42B450 mounted today and IMO games look like crap compared to an LCD. Although HDTV seems to have more detail and contrast, it seems to be gone while gaming. Everything just looks flat, and text (in CODWaW Menu's for example) is a lot grainier than LCD. Is there any fix for this, or is this the trade off for having 1024 x 768 vs 1366 x 768 on the bigger model. Any suggested settings for gaming?

Topics: 2011 holiday shopping season, Best Buy, Best Buy Co. Inc., Deloitte, Google, Google Inc., holiday shopping, mobile commerce, smartphones
You've read the data. Of the 42% of U.S. consumers that own a smartphone, 27% intend to use it during their holiday shopping this year, according to a study from consulting firm Deloitte. And Google Inc. projects that in December 44% of last-minute gift and store location searches will be made with mobile devices.
Hesitant retailers who fail to devise an e-commerce, mobile commerce and in-store strategy for providing consumers with a similar look and tools across all three channels could imperil some sales, industry experts suggested this week at the Open Mobile Summit in San Francisco.
"Consumers no longer look at online as a different part of their lives," says Osama Bedier, vice president of payments at Google Inc. Consumers look at a retailer's online and mobile sites as one, he adds.
In my personal experience I can attest that he's onto something. Best Buy Co. Inc. seems to stand out. Best Buy's e-commerce site, mobile app and mobile commerce site share similar colors and use a common navigation scheme, with buttons for products and the weekly ad across the top of each.
Each day I find a new use for my smartphone. I'm going to buy a certain set of products anyway, and I look to my smartphone as a tool to find the best value. That may mean I'm willing to pay a little more in exchange for finding the product I need right now.
Google is banking on that. Just as Google makes money from online advertising, Bedier expects to generate revenue from mobile searches by placing ads next to those search results. "The opportunity is all around us," he says. "We want to empower merchants to better leverage their advertising dollars."
That advertising could help consumers, like myself, find the right products when I need them, using whichever device I happen to be in front of or holding in my hands. Any distinction between channels is irrelevant.
Research totally supports the key principle outlined here of harmonizing design across platforms. Familiarity really helps people! Interestingly, one area that doesn't seem seriously scrutinized is the way the online shopping cart works across platforms...and devices...including the web/mobile web divide. The only solution to mobile latencies that anyone seems to see as valuable in this regard is the client-side app. But while building apps for loyal shoppers certainly makes sense, should it really be required for first time visitors or for people who just want to "add to cart"? if the ads spoken of in the article are to go to the mobile web, shouldn't there be an immediate opportunity provided to "buy" or "add to cart" on the mobile web? A way that doesn't require the shopper to find and download and learn to use an app? Basic transactions should be made as familiar and easy as pushing a "back" button. You don't need an app for that. And in the context of commerce, we know (thank you Gomez research!) that fast and easy transactions correlate directly and powerfully with sales. [Disclaimer: We address these issues with our 'instant-add' cart design]
Searches on mobile devices will soon exceed those on computers, Google says. Retailers that keep ...

Oral Health Topics
Periodontal Screening and Recording
There is no public/patient information on this topic.
- For more clinical information, please click the "Dentist Version" tab above.
Additional Resources:
- What are the benefits of PSR®?
- Are there specific insurance codes for PSR®?
- Who should perform PSR®?
- How long does it take to perform PSR®?
- How often should PSR be performed?
- I already probe selected sites. Why should I use PSR®?
- Why does PSR® record by sextants?
- How is the periodontal probe recommended for use compared to other probes?
- How does PSR® differ from a comprehensive examination?
- What are the limitations of PSR®?
- Where can I get more information about PSR materials?
What are the benefits of PSR®?
PSR® provides the following benefits:
- Early disease detection.
- Evaluation of all sites.
- Simplifies record keeping.
- Time effective screening.
- Patient education and motivation tool.
- No expensive equipment needs - just a simple periodontal probe designed specifically for this use.
- Helps market periodontal health within your practice.
- Proper, consistent and documented use of PSR® shows that the dentist is evaluating a patient's periodontal status.
Are there specific insurance codes for PSR®?
- No. PSR® is designed to become a part of the regular oral exam.
- There is no specific code to cover PSR® as a separate procedure.
- PSR® scores do not correlate to any specific periodontal diagnoses, treatments or treatment codes.
Who should perform PSR®?
- General practitioners.
- Some dentists may delegate to a dental hygienist where state regulations allow.
- May have applications in all specialties, including some maintenance functions for periodontists.
How long does it take to perform PSR®?
- Studies demonstrate PSR® can take two to three minutes.
- Individual time needed will vary.
- Screening time will decrease as proficiency increases.
- If the scores indicate, a comprehensive periodontal examination is necessary.
How often should PSR be performed®?
- As part of a routine adult oral exam.
I already probe selected sites. Why should I use PSR®?
- Proper, consistent and documented use of PSR® shows that the dentist is evaluating a patient's periodontal status.
- While only six scores are recorded for PSR®, you still must probe all of the patient's teeth in six areas - the mid-facial, mesio-facial and disto-facial regions and the corresponding lingual-palatal regions.
- It must be stressed that PSR® does not replace the need for a full periodontal examination and charting when warranted.
Why does PSR® record by sextants?
- Dividing the teeth into sextants helps facilitate screening by grouping together similar types of teeth.
- PSR® is based on a similar screening system used internationally and recognized by the World Health Organization and the Federation Dentaire Internationale.
How is the periodontal probe recommended for use compared to other probes?
- Ball-tipped end helps avoid puncturing the epithelial attachment during probing.
- A colored band, 3.5 to 5.5 mm from the probe tip, provides a quick, accurate scoring method. (Note: The ADA and AAP do not manufacture, approve or endorse any particular periodontal probe. Recommended instructions for use and sterilization should be followed with whichever instrument is selected for use with the PSR® procedure.)
How does PSR® differ from a comprehensive examination?
- PSR® is less time-consuming than a full exam. While each tooth is examined in all six areas, only the highest score is recorded for that sextant. That's six scores versus a possible 192 sites probed in a complete periodontal exam.
- PSR® is a screening system for monitoring and documenting periodontal health. It does not replace a full periodontal examination when warranted (e.g., if a patient scores a Code 4 in one sextant or Code 3 in two or more sextants).
What are the limitations of PSR®?
- It is a screening-not a substitute for a comprehensive periodontal examination.
- Patients in the maintenance phase of periodontal treatment require periodic comprehensive periodontal examinations.
- Intended primarily for adults.
Where can I get more information about PSR materials?
- To order PSR® materials, call 800-947-4746 or order online from the ADA Catalog.

Prince George's County Public Schools was a finalist for the Urban School Board of Excellence Award given by the National School Board Association's Council of Urban Boards of Education, otherwise known as the CUBE Award.
Board of Education Member Rosalind Johnson has witnessed the local school system undergo a trans- formation for the better in the last decade "through its school board and leadership."
"I think the transformation clearly is more from the period of 2006 to the present day," Johnson said. "In 2006 was the first time that the Board of Education along with the superintendent created a team, really bore down on the systemic
needs of the county and how to have the superintendent and the board to work effectively to target those areas we feel we could improve and how to reallocate the resources in such a way that we could tap each of these areas of need."
The process of transformation, Johnson said, was "an intense, two- year period along with looking at our county wholly and holding community forums, listening to what parents had to say about how best to deal with the issues of concern that they had."
"And so turning this system up- side down, looking at every layer of the system and doing it in a strategic way, rebuilding our strategic plan and lastly building a system of ac- countability for the entire system for areas that we need to focus on, not just academics but transportation, all of it," Johnson continued." Johnson is passionate about education and has a vision for high stu- dent achievement paired with highly effective teaching — which she thinks are factors that contributed to PGCPS being a finalist for the CUBE Award.
"I think that it is a combination of all of that," she said. "It is the work of the board. It is the work of the superintendent board team, it is the use of data to make sure that we are monthly looking at incremental changes, looking at the students' benchmarks and not trying to build the flash in the plan one activity but rather how to systemically change PGCPS to perform continuously across the years with the data that we have, the collection of new data and looking at the demographics of our school district to ensure that we are
gauging the outcome that we have set for the children."
Johnson assisted in the writing of the application for the school system to compete for the CUBE Award and after learning in mid-September that PGCPS was a finalist, she felt joy and hoped they would win.
"I believe that Prince George's should win because we deserve it," she said. "Having Prince George's identified as a finalist is such validation of the work that we have done, and it was work. It was not just going and sitting, you know, but it was deep, strategic work."
Apart from PGCPS, the other finalists for the CUBE Award were Baltimore City and Washoe County in Nevada. After much deliberation from the judges, Washoe County won the CUBE Award for 2012. Finalists were selected by the National
School Boards Association.
"It was very difficult," said Karen Lewis, senior manager of the Council of Urban Boards of Educa- tion at the National Schools Board Association, when speaking on de- ciding which school system would win the award. "We had a panel of judges from national education or- ganizations and they looked at all three of the finalists very closely and Washoe had done a lot working with the superintendent developing an excellent strategic plan, using com- munity involvement and focusing on implementing that brand and continuously improving student achievement."
While there can only be one winner of the CUBE Award each year, Lewis recognized all three finalists as being "great examples of excellence in education."

Checkin in
Ohaidare. Just wanted to touch base with those of you who follow what we're up to.
For one thing, there have been some problems with our location. Severe roof leaks + lack of heat = not fun to be in the space. So lately we've been workshopping individually and letting our projects live in our homes rather than the shop. A shame, we know – but over the next six weeks, we're rebooting the room and getting things back up to snuff. For the time being, public workshops aren't being run due to this. We're starting back up on 3/14 with the regular weekly open lab, and figuring out other workshops and projects for when things are stable again.
In the meantime, we've reached out to another educational co-op in the area, The Worcester Area Think Tank. They are a local academic co-op for young adults looking to further their educational endeavors by providing and interactive learning environment. Head over to their site and check out what they're up to – it's a brilliant project, and TESLA is extremely excited to be contributing to their upcoming technology program in the spring.
Also, we are undergoing some reorganization at the shops down on Webster St. Currently, the various artists and artisans are working towards tighter organization, facility renovation, and much more activity. More on that as it develops.
Keep an eye on our many social network outlets, as well as this site, for updates on our projects and shop. Definitely looking forward to lots of revamping over the next couple months, as well as an awesomely active spring!

During the month of July, Sparks Grocery Outlet is encouraging customers to donate food and cash to support the Salvation Army. Summer is a time when food banks often do not see as many food donations. Sparks Grocery Outlet is working directly with the Salvation Army to help neighbors in need during what is traditionally a slow donation period.
"We are extremely proud to once again take the up the challenge to help combat hunger in our community through our Independence from Hunger campaign," Tim and Tina Garner said. "As local business owners, we are always looking for ways to make a real difference in the lives of those who live and work within our community. We have a dream that one day everyone will gain Independence from Hunger. It is a great way to make a significant impact."
Sparks Grocery Outlet is making it simple to join the Independence from Hunger cause with easy options for their customers:
•Look for specialty-marked food items. These are items that the Salvation Army has designated are in need for the community. Purchase these items and put them in the collection bin at the front of the store.
•Tell a Grocery Outlet cashier that you would like to make a cash donation at the register. All moneys raised will go directly to the Salvation Army in the form of cash or product.
•Pick up information at the Sparks Grocery Outlet store about hunger, food insecurity and local/national resources for people in need.
•Spin the wheel of bargains and win a prize with any and every donation.
For more information about Sparks Grocery Outlet and Independence from Hunger, visit www.groceryoutlet.com/Sparks-NV or visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SparksGroceryOutlet.

Coffee Has The Sweet Smell of Success for TTU Marketing StudentsDunkin' Donuts corporate executives know a good cup of coffee when they see one.
And no other marketing students know how to describe a cup of coffee like Tennessee Tech University's marketing club. The club recently beat out more than 67 schools in an international competition sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts.
Entering the contest was no run-of-the-mill class project. Dunkin' Donuts, the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world, sent top executives to judge the competition and now owns the rights to work produced by the students.
Tennessee Tech received top honors, including $2,500, for developing a comprehensive marketing plan to introduce a new blend of coffee. What they asked the students to market was a "green" or environmentally-friendly coffee meeting three criteria: it is shade grown (to avoid clear-cutting), grown without pesticides, and originates in a market that uses fair trade practices.
"Some of the schools we competed against have more than 400 students and 20 faculty members in marketing," said Karl Mann, club adviser and Tennessee Tech marketing professor. "We win because we have talented students, we give them quality guidance and they are exposed to professional, real-world experiences and opportunities."
Tennessee Tech defeated finalists including the University of South Carolina, Penn State University and the University of Wisconsin
"More people and greater resources are not as important as good thinking," said Art Johnsen, COO of Nashville's Bohan Carden, and Cherry advertising agency, who helped the club prepare for the competition.
"The team did well for a number of reasons," Johnsen said "Their written case was well thought out and complete. They rehearsed and modified their presentation many times so they were comfortable and poised. And finally, they wanted to win - I told them to expect to win - because they had a big idea."
Mann enlisted Johnsen's assistance while working with him on the Nashville Advertising Federation's education committee. For several years Mann has been adamant about giving students opportunities to learn and work with advertising professionals in his classes and in the classes of TTU marketing professors Don Weinrach and Julie Pharr.
TTU's marketing club has taken advantage of the opportunities and grown from six members to more than 100 under Mann's guidance. They earned the title of Top Regional Chapter in the South last year and were runner-up for International Chapter of the Year. They also won top spots for Outstanding Community service, Outstanding Chapter Communications and Best Marketing Week.
"Good ad agencies are full of creative problem solvers; their ideas are relevant and differentiating," Mann said. "This is what our team did. They creatively solved the problem that Dunkin' Donuts gave them."
Johnsen says Tennessee Tech follows the wisdom that opening the classroom and other student activities to business people who are qualified and have an interest in supporting the faculty gives students the best of the classroom and the workplace.
A member of the team, Melissa Dunn, agrees that her classroom experience and attitude were valuable.
"We were well prepared, but most of all we wanted, and expected, to win," said Dunn. "We each stayed within our area of expertise and entrusted different parts of the presentation to the students who could do them the best."
Dunn says she and fellow students credit their success to the regular interaction with advertising and marketing professionals. Groups of students travel to Nashville each month to network; marketing professors invite guest speakers on a regular basis, and students participate in the glamour of the annual regional Addy Awards by being presenters.
Johnsen says that kind of interaction is what helps make ad agencies in the area strong.
"Professional mentoring works both ways. I use it to identify bright, motivated creative problem solvers for possible employment or referral," he said. "If I can't offer them a job, I want them to come to Nashville and work in this industry where I might get them at a later date."Mann says next year's corporate sponsor told him he was impressed with the level of professionalism in the contest, saying that the level of performance they saw in the Tennessee Tech presentation made them want to participate as Dunkin' Donuts did.

Fly Rod Selection…..a biased point of view
The fly rod is the primary tool and defining component of your fishing gear. It delivers the fly, sets the hook, and lands the fish. It is also a flash point for heated debates. Recently I overheard a discussion between several fishermen. The topic, the value of premium rods ($300 to $600) verses less expensive products. Each individual had an opinion that was passionately defended. While sorely tempted, I didn't wade in to the fray, but decided to assemble a few of my thoughts in writing.
Numerous books, periodicals, catalogs, or internet resources deal at length with the classic "how to" on rod selection. Consequently, I have no intention of creating yet another beginners guide. This is simply my opinion on what matters. One additional point, this discussion will not deal with bamboo fly rods – this is a separate topic which I leave to those more qualified to deal with it. When I was young I had hand-me-down cane rods which were quickly relinquished with the arrival of fiberglass.. By the time I figured out bamboo rods were desirable, they had become too expensive.
Forget the idea that one rod is all you will ever need - this is absurd. It might be possible if you only fish for one species in a restricted area using limited techniques. Further, there is no such thing as the perfect 'all-around' rod. The real question is "how many rods am I likely to secure over my fishing career." So far, I've probably owned 100 rods over the last 50 years. My advise is buy rods as needed for water, species, technique, and environment. By environment I mean if you fish in areas where wind is constant problem a 2-weight outfit should not be your first choice.
The recommendation that beginners should always buy something inexpensive is poor advice. Buy the best rod you can afford after talking with someone knowledgeable. This is not the clerk in the discount store or the friend who has been fishing for a couple of years. Find someone who really knows rods and is an acknowledged casting expert.
Buying a rods via the internet based on some gear review is a recipe for dissatisfaction. This only works if you know exactly what you want and are familiar with the rod maker and the action of his products. Keep firmly in mind that not all rods from the same manufacturer perform the same.
Selecting a rod requires answering questions only you can answer. Having someone else pick out a rod for you should be avoided. In general, what "feels best" to you is apt to be the right choice. This may sound a little strange, but it's absolutely trueHigher prices do not always translate into higher quality. On the other hand, it's a pretty good indicator with the top suppliers. If you're not sure what you're doing, never buy the "great deal" from an unknown manufacturer.
Premium rod manufacturers have spent considerable money field testing and refining the action of their rods to fit many different angling situations. In general you'll get better components - guides, reel seats handles. Better finish and more accessories - bags and tubes. Find out about the company that makes the rod. Understand the warranty and how problems will be handled.
The fly fish speak language is particularly evident when fishermen and rod companies talk about products. Unlike lines which adhere to standards, "fast-flex" "power-matrix" "progressive taper", other descriptive adjectives mean nothing beyond the confines of a specific manufacturer. Reduced to its simplest terms, there are really only three-rod actions: slow, moderate, and fast
Most experts agree that beginners are better off with a fast or medium fast action rod because they are more forgiving with casting strokes that are not well executed. However, building a good fast action rod is not a simple and inexpensive process. There are few things worse than a poorly designed fast action rod. Cheap fast action rods are heavier and often have a very stiff tip - caused by the mandrel and the amount of material applied. Consequently, loop control is far more difficult.
When looking at rods I always scrutinize the components and finish, I want to know about the weight and diameter, I look for muted colors and, depending on the rod size, I like smaller grips that are comfortable in my hand. I have a thing for small rods (7 to 8-foot) for dry fly fishing. They have some negatives in the arena of line control and can be more difficult to cast (in very short lengths). On the other hand, they can be far less tiring to use and easier to maneuver in tight quarters. A few ounces can mean a lot during the course of a full day of casting. If you can throw a variety of mending casts, the line control issue is nominal. If you think about it, the standard 9-foot really took center stage in the 1990's. For those of you who think short rods are not effective I would point to Lee Wulff, the undisputed champion of the short rod, who proved conclusively, a long rod offered no advantage as he cast 80-feet or more to Atlantic Salmon using 7-foot rods.
I'm always fascinated by folks who decide to try out a rod on the sidewalk in front of a fly shop. I never quite sure what they are trying to accomplish besides ruining the fly line. If you want to try a rod, rent or borrow it (most shops can accommodate you) and take it to the local park for a couple of hours. Anglers trying out a rod have a tendency to see how far the rod will cast rather than how well it will load at normal fishing distances. Guess what, 90% of the time trout are caught within 40 feet of an angler. Try to cast different loops with the rod, like the tight loop you'd use casting into the wind. Then open the loop up to see how the rod handles line at a lower line speed. A comment made some years ago by Tom Morgan of the Winston Rod Company was something to the effect that a rod that can throw lots of line is not always a good fishing rod. "When you are fishing a great rod, it becomes an extension of your body and the fly simply goes where you direct it."
How many sections should your rod have? Buy 2-piece rod when you have no other choice. Today there is virtually no difference in performance. If you think giving a $600 rod protected by a carrying case to the airline baggage attendant is a smart move, think again.
Last, I've got a couple of comments on rod size. Buy even or odd sizes - 4, 6, and 8-weight or 3, 5, 7-weights. Steer clear of the very small sizes 0 to 2-weight unless you are buying them for special use and have the skill to make them perform. I have such rods and I use them occasionally but they are not well suited for the average angler.
After all of this, what's my favorite setup for 90% of my trout fishing? I like a 7 ½ to 8 ½-foot 4-piece for a 4-weight line. For larger streamers and heavy nymphing I'll turn to a 9-foot 6-weight outfit.

Both juniors made first-team all-state, and now they're finalists for Alabama Sports Writers Association player of the year in their respective classifications. Winners will be announced April 4 in Montgomery.
Bolton is joined by Hannah Nichols of Madison County and Destiney Elliott of Oneonta as finalists for the Class 4A girls honor.
In 2A, Strain is joined by Elizabeth Dowd of Providence Christian and Kristen Emerson of Prattville Christian. Dowd and Emerson played for the two teams Woodland defeated in the state semifinals and final to become state champion.
Strain has been a finalist the past two years as well, but never won 2A player of the year.
"To start with, Leah has continued to improve each and every year, and I think it has a lot to do with maturity," Lady Bobcats coach Larry Strain said. "She understands this thing is more of a team concept than just about her. I think she'd be the first to tell you that the success she has is to do with the teammates around her."
She led Woodland in every major statistical category, averaging 21.5 points a game on 60 percent shooting from the field. Strain also made 70 percent of her free throws and averaged 5.2 assists.
Strain also had a team-leading seven rebounds a game, despite being only 5-foot-4. Her sister, 5-foot-9 Courtney Strain, won Class 2A player of the year in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
"Courtney is going to beat you away from the rim, and Leah is going to take it to the rim," Larry Strain said. "I asked both of them what was really the difference, and I can't answer that myself truthfully. But Leah was also our leading rebounder.
"I really believe that she would tell you it all goes back to growing up with Courtney and (brother) Trae. She would have to go in there and get physical with them and would get bumped around."
Along with Courtney winning the award three times, Chantirus Stone also won player of the year at Woodland in 2001 under Strain.
For Bolton, last season was one of transformation.
The 6-foot-2 center went from a bench player to the star of the team. That happened once she learned coach Eddie Bullock's system after transferring to Anniston after her freshman year.
"At first, she was trying to figure us out and what plays we run and things like that," Bullock said. "We had to get her in the mindset that we're in and the mindset of ball that we play around here."
With that mindset, Bolton shined. She averaged 23 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks a game as Anniston went 23-5 and to the Northeast Regional last season.
"She finally got it going and put up great numbers," Bullock said. "She probably could have done better, and I'm sure she will when she gets a little more comfortable."
Bullock said he expects even bigger numbers from Bolton, who has received attention from Southeastern Conference and other southern schools. The coach said he thinks Bolton is capable of averaging 30 to 35 points and 20 rebounds a game.
"That's an obtainable goal," Bullock said. "She has to dominate, but she can do it easily."

Some years ago I was having a problem with a racoon getting into my plastic trash containers. I used bungee cords across the lids but then it tried chewing its way in. Did some searching and found a site for solutions to critter problems. It seems that the racoon's natural enemy is the coyote. This site sold all kinds of deterents but for racoons, it was coyote urine pellets. So I ordered a few pouches and some kind-of containers for the substance.
I received the stuff. I made one big mistake, I cut open one the aluminum foil pouches while I was in my basement! OMG, I couldn't get outside fast enough. When I did, my neighbor was outside with her dog. The dog started to bark at me and take a defensive stance.
She asked what I had to make her dog go nuts. I told her but she said that she couldn't smell it. She stuck her nose right inside the pouch and still couldn't smell it. She said that she had a sinus problem, I guess so?
I still a have a pouch or two. If you like, I'll send you one. Sure to clear a crowded room in less than a minute!

Oh no. Please don't. That's one thing that works pretty well for me; sense of smell. Sometimes it's a curse.I still a have a pouch or two. If you like, I'll send you one. Sure to clear a crowded room in less than a minute!
My favorite super power is hearing a leaking toilet valve when I go to homes. They think I'm kidding until they get their next water bill.
I get offers to work on sewage ejectors, and I can't get myself to do them. I have used a respirator while cleaning a grease trap, and that worked out okay. Without that, I was gagging.
Theory only works perfect in a vacuum.

IMHO, a much better way to save a little bit of water is to cut 30-seconds or so off your shower, and if you really like marathon ones, cut down more. Don't leave the water running while you brush your teeth, and use a dishwasher rather than rinsing and hand washing. There are other, low-impact (as in change of habit) things you can do, too. WHen I was in London one time, they had big posters in the 'Tube' saying to save water, pee in the shower rather than the toilet (while showering, hopefully obviously!). That works, too.

Michel Lucas calls the shots here as he directs the action with a wave of his huge uncut cock. Randy Foreman and Tony Dancer dive onto Michel's dick, savoring every inch of the long shaft and hooded cockhead. They take turns swallowing their client's long dick. Michel proudly feeds his cock to Randy and Tony as they worship every inch. The trio then forms a sex chain with Michel fucking Randy as Randy rims Tony's ass. They pump and suck, working each other non-stop. The thrill and excitement increase until all three stroke themselves to climax, unleashing a wellspring of thick cum which soaks their forms.

A paper from the research project of Dr. Robert Cramer was highlighted by the Faculty of 1000 Biology.
Many of the important and emerging infectious diseases of humans are zoonotic, and most are also potential weapons of bioterrorism. Furthermore, a number of these diseases have reservoirs in the livestock and wildlife of our nation. The goal of this COBRE is to support new investigators and provide the resources needed to advance our understanding of infectious disease pathogenesis and facilitate development of novel therapeutic treatments.

President Obama on Tuesday urged Congress to help strengthen federal supervision of international oil markets, amid pressure from U.S. voters to take action on rising gasoline prices.
The president wants Congress to increase penalties for market manipulation and empower regulators to increase the amount of money energy traders are required to put behind their transactions.
"Congress should do all of this right away," the president said Tuesday during a White House speech in the Rose Garden.
Obama said the plan would put "more cops on the street" to catch speculators who attempt to manipulate markets for their own profit. He also chastised Congress for recently voting against ending tax breaks to U.S. oil companies and said passing his proposal would help members redeem themselves.
Still, the president acknowledged such efforts "will not bring down gas prices overnight."
The plan is more likely to draw sharp election-year distinctions with Republicans than have an immediate effect on prices at the pump. The measures seek to boost spending for Wall Street enforcement at a time when congressional Republicans are seeking to limit the reach of federal financial regulations.
Obama was joined Tuesday by Attorney General Eric Holder in spelling out his $52 million proposal.
