It'll be a few months before DeSoto, Texas senior guard Matt Jones enrolls at Duke, but he's already made himself at home.
Jones and his Eagles teammates rolled into their first HighSchoolOT.com Holiday Invitational this week and walked away with the championship of the Summit Hospitality bracket after defeating Metuchen, N.J. St. Joseph, 45-42, Saturday night.
Jones was named the Summit MVP after leading DeSoto to victories over Kinston, Hampton, Va., and St. Joseph.
"This has probably been the toughest three days we've had, in terms of competition," DeSoto coach Chris Dyer said. "This is a hellacious tournament and my hat's off to the organizers. … All three teams make me feel like I've been through a marathon; I'm tired."
In Saturday's game, Terry Maston was the only Eagle to finish in double-figures scoring with 14 points. Jones added 9 points for DeSoto (19-1).
"This win means a lot," Jones said. "To be in North Carolina and to now have these bragging rights … I'm definitely proud of my team and coaches, who put us in a great position to win."
St. Joseph was led by 7-foot Kentucky recruit and Summit Most Outstanding Player Karl Towns, who had 13 points and 8 rebounds. All-tourney selection James Ziemba and Marques Townes added 10 points apiece for the Falcons (4-2).
"It's a disappointing loss tonight," St. Joseph coach Dave Turco. "I don't think we played a full 32 minutes. Give credit to DeSoto, though; they made plays and executed when they had to."
Jones, Ziemba and Towns were joined on the all-tournament team by Tyrone Outlaw of Person County, Denzel Keyes of Kinston, Shelton Mitchell of Waxhaw Cuthbertson, Anthony Doyle of Holly Springs, Devonte' Graham of Raleigh Broughton, Anthony Barber of Hampton, Va., and Devin Wyatt of DeSoto.
End first quarter: DeSoto 9, St. Joseph 5
Halftime: DeSoto 21, St. Joseph 16; DeSoto led by Devin Wyatt's 5 points and 4 each from Duke recruit Matt Jones, Takedrick Brown and Terry Maston; St. Joseph led by James Ziemba's 6 points
End 3Q: DeSoto 31, St. Joseph 30
Final: DeSoto 45, St. Joseph 42
DeSoto���� 9�� 12�� 10�� 14�� –� 45

Monday, October 14, 2013 —
When school began this year I was told that I would be required to attend some workshops. I was not excited about that prospect and my attitude worsened as the time approached. The first morning of the workshop I had a difficult time having positive thoughts. The main reason I felt this way is that most workshops are led by someone who thinks they know all the answers to education's problems. If everyone did what the speaker said, every student would achieve greatness.
When I walked in the first day, I was pleasantly surprised. The workshop was being led by someone I know and respect. She wasn't there to peddle her latest book, she was there because she knows we are good teachers who are doing our best to reach and teach kids. She was there because she wanted to help us become better teachers.
Everyone can improve including great teachers. The presenter offered research about multiple successful teaching methods, modeled several techniques and taught us some of the ways good teachers become great. The presenter stressed that no one method was best but that each one of us had to discover our own techniques that fit our personality in our classrooms.
We were given time to get together with teachers from other schools who teach the same subjects that we teach. This gave us the opportunity to share with each other things that we have found to be successful in our classrooms. When we are given the opportunity to share our best practices, we all become better teachers. I heard about things I have never tried but plan to because my colleagues say they really work.
Finally, we were given the opportunity to create something new based on the successful methods we had been hearing about in the workshop. Teachers are rarely given the opportunity to create new lessons in this kind of environment. We were given brand new tools and the opportunity to use those tools to create effective lessons to take back to our students.
Jesus was one of the best teachers in history. I have been trying to think about what He did that made Him so great in His classroom. The first thing that came to my mind is that he used relevant examples that every listener could relate to and understand.
In Jesus' day everyone planted a garden and understood the principles of sowing and reaping. Every listener had probably lost something in their lives and they understood the joy one feels when you find it.
Jesus genuinely cared for His students. He understood human weakness, condemning the sin but loving the sinner. Jesus believed that people could live better and if shown the way would rise above their circumstances to live great lives. He modeled what seemed impossible to show the way to live. Jesus taught the principles and then lived what He believed.
Jesus led His life according to God's plan and purpose. Jesus didn't perform miracles to put on a show, they were done to illustrate God's love and to bring about change in people's lives. When Jesus taught He wasn't trying to gain followers but He wanted His listeners to connect with God the Father. When Jesus died it was because it was a part of God's plan so that God could have a relationship with each human being through His one and only Son.
Jesus' charisma and passion were so infectious people were drawn to Him. He took a rag-tag group of guys and made them into disciples who turned the world upside down. Jesus didn't reach everyone in His generation, but to those who came to Him, He showed them a better way to live.
If I want to be a great teacher then I need His passion and I need to believe that I can make a difference in my students' lives. You can make a difference in people's lives if you will live with passion, joy, peace, faith, hope, and love … after all, who can resist that?
I want to encourage you to consider the difference between being good at what you do and being great. The world needs godly men and women in every occupation to bring His light and love to a dark world. He needs you to live above mediocrity to draw attention to yourself so you can turn people's eyes toward heaven. We are the light and we need to point them to Jesus who will teach them a new and better way to live.

A video-game-cum-cocktail-bar with a cosy atmosphere
Mana Bar has been operating successfully in Brisbane for over a year now, so it's only fitting that Melbourne gets the second installment. But this is not just a franchising of the name - original owner and operator Guy 'Yug' Blomberg has relocated to Melbourne specifically to set up the new addition.
The premise is simple: Mana Bar is a cocktail bar with video games. There are seven screens across two rooms, each screen has a dedicated Xbox, Playstation and Wii linked to it behind the bar, so the systems can be mixed and matched as required. The games that run on each screen are pre-selected each night, usually based around a theme or event (Yug plans to run a different event every night). However, if the punters want to play a particular game, all they have to do is ask the bar staff nicely. The selection of games on offer encourage multiple patron participation - the idea, Yug explains, is to encourage punters to use the games as a social experience to meet and play with friends.
Like a lot Fitzroy bars, Mana Bar is small, but its lo-fi, lounge-room ambiance makes it feel cosy. At its maximum capacity of 50 it doesn't feel crowded and even if you don't pick up a game controller it's still a fun, funky little place to have a drink with mates. There's no food on offer, but there are plenty of cocktails ($15 each) to choose from and are game-themed and created especially for the bar. You can enjoy both the taste and the pun in an Ocarina of Lime (rum and lime) or Princess Peach (gin and peaches). If you fancy something stronger there is a range of similarly-themed shots, like The Shambler (bourbon and taric acid) and Finish Him (vodka and tomato juice).
If you see Yug around the bar (just look out for his name stitched onto his shirt and uber-friendly smile), do go up and say hi - his enthusiasm for the bar and gaming in general is extremely infectious and he seems very happy to chat with gamers and cocktail-lovers alike. He's created not only an interesting new addition not just to the Melbourne bar scene, but a new social hub for gamers of all stripes.

I've had this idea for 3 years now, I just never saw anyone actually do it. Love the concept, I especially like how all the consoles are behind the bar. If you are connected to the internet, you could even have regulars that play at home on your bars server. I'm glad someone finally did this, great job, I hope all is going well.

Did you look around Jon? Did you see that everyone there was having a good time, PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. Which is the whole point of the bar? Nowhere to sit? Unfortunately some people who play video games like trenchcoats and have long hair. Undesirable clientele in my book extends to tight arses moping around, whinging about drink prices and seating arrangements. Or those people who like to glass/fight other people in the venue. Which doesn't happen there. Ever. Go sit at the Tankerville you clown where you can sit at the bar and order a pot of VB and feel happy with your life.

This place was pretty awful.... Nowhere to sit, overpriced drinks, the only "ambiance" is a bunch of tv screens on the wall. Not to mention it attracted undesirable clientele... guys with long greasy hair in trenchcoats etc. Cool concept, poorly executed. They could of tried a lot harder.

Shopping list apps for the iPhone and iPod touch can help you save time at the grocery store (and we all need to do that, right?). Instead of using pen and paper, grocery list apps offer built-in databases so you can quickly add items to your list. The best apps also include barcode scanners, email sharing, and online list updating.
Read More: Top 8 iPhone Shopping Apps
1. Grocery IQ
Grocery IQ (Free) includes all the features you would expect in a powerful grocery app, including a barcode scanner, list sharing, and integrated coupons. If you are like me and buy the same things every week, the favorites list will help you save time. You can also edit your list online and it will update automatically on the app.
2. Grocery Gadget
Grocery Gadget ($3.99) is one of the more expensive grocery apps, but it has a variety of features that set it apart from the competition. For one, you can link multiple accounts and send push notifications to other users if you need a last-minute item. The app also links to recipe sources like Big Oven so ingredients are added automatically to your shopping list. As with the Grocery IQ app, you can also edit your list online using Grocery Gadget's online portal.
3. Shopping List
Shopping List ($2.99) isn't as feature-rich as some other grocery apps, but it covers all the basics. The app features multiple shopping lists that sync across numerous devices (including the iPad or iPod touch). You can share your shopping list via email, but the app doesn't integrate with Twitter or Facebook.
4. Shopper
The barcode scanner in the Shopper app ($0.99) is supported by RedLaser, which is one of my top-rated iPhone shopping apps. The RedLaser scanner works very quickly and isn't as vulnerable to shaking or movements as other iPhone scanners. This shopping list app also includes store flyers from Target and Wal-Mart, list sharing, and photos for all items. You can also edit your shopping lists online.
5. GroceryList
GroceryList ($4.99) is more expensive than Grocery Gadget, but it lacks some of the nifty features, including the barcode scanner and push notifications. Even so, the app does include a built-in database of common grocery items and the ability to create multiple shopping lists. It also keeps track of favorite items so you don't have to re-enter them each time you create a shopping list.
6. Green Grocer
Green Grocer ($4.99) has many of the common features you'll find in most shopping list apps, but it has one very neat feature that sets it apart: when you're shopping, just shake your iPhone and the items you still need will be moved to the top of your list. This definitely comes in handy when you have a large, unwieldy shopping list. Unlimited grocery lists and email sharing are additional pluses.
7. Shopping List from Recipe.com
Shopping List from Recipe.com (free) boasts many of the features that are common to grocery list apps: a barcode scanner, voice recognition, multiple lists, integrated specials. Unfortunately, most of these features has problems. The barcode scanner only identified 3 of my 10 test items and the voice recognition only successfully added 50% of my entries. The store list uses your GPS location and is solid, but it lacks some major chains like Trader Joe's. With better apps on this list, there's no compelling reason to use Shopping List from Recipe.com right now.

NOAA Cancels Planned Employee Furloughs
- By Kedar Pavgi
- June 3, 2013
- Leave a comment
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration canceled furloughs for its employees after the Commerce Department and congressional negotiators agreed on a new budget deal, according to multiple reports.
In an all-hands memo sent late Friday, acting Commerce Undersecretary Kathryn Sullivan told employees that department officials were able to obtain budget flexibility, allowing the agency to transfer funds and avoid furloughs for all 12,000 of its employees.
The recent tornadoes in Oklahoma and Missouri reminded everyone of "how important every single employee within NOAA is to the health, safety, and well-being of this nation," she said in the memo, which was obtained by SpaceNews.com.
"While this new plan allows us to avoid furloughs, sequestration remains an ongoing challenge," Sullivan added. "We must all continue to scrutinize every expense and prioritize our most critical missions and essential operations."
Rep. Richard M. Nolan, D-Minn., wrote a letter in early May to acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank and Sullivan asking them to cancel furloughs at the agency, which includes the National Weather Service.
NOAA officials had warned that furloughs would be detrimental to the agency's ability to "support effective forecast operations during either tropical or severe weather events." Union officials, especially leaders from the National Weather Service Employees Organization, also have pushed Commerce officials to eliminate sequestration related furloughs.

President Obama issued an executive order Wednesday allowing the Treasury Department to freeze the U.S.-based assets of anyone obstructing the administration-backed political transition in Yemen.
The order could be used against U.S. citizens or residents found trying to interfere with the government transition of power agreed to last fall after an uprising forced then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down.
"The president took this step because he believes that the legitimate aspirations of the Yemeni people, along with the urgent humanitarian and security challenges, cannot be addressed if political progress stalls," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
The presidential action is unusual because it's designed to act as a deterrent and the administration has not determined specific names or organizations it's trying to target.
With news earlier this month that authorities had thwarted a second attempt by Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to strike the U.S. with a sophisticated underwear bomb, the Obama administration wants to ensure that political chaos in Yemen does not disrupt international counterterrorism efforts and continued cooperation with the government there.
Even though Mr. Saleh resigned after several attempts to remain in power, a number of relatives and supporters tried to hang onto their offices, only leaving when the new president issued a decree forcing them out last month. Mr. Obama's executive order is aimed at trying to keep them permanently on the sidelines.
Lawmakers consider threats from airport employees
Congress is examining the security risks to passenger planes from the so-called insider threat, terrorists who quietly get jobs at airports so they can attack from within sensitive areas. There has never been such an instance, but a security supervisor at Newark Liberty Airport is facing criminal charges that nearly 20 years ago he assumed the identity of a New York man who later was murdered.
The House Homeland Security Committee conducted an oversight hearing Wednesday.
The acting inspector general, Charles Edwards, told lawmakers in prepared testimony that people who pose a threat can obtain government security badges for U.S. airports because the Transportation Security Administration inadequately investigates the backgrounds of badge applicants. He said this includes missing signs they might be dangerous or not confirming they are American citizens.
Sebelius to address Georgetown despite flap
A planned graduation speech by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at Georgetown University is going forward, despite criticism from the archdiocese of Washington that Mrs. Sebelius is an inappropriate choice for the Jesuit school.
The archdiocese on Tuesday said in a statement that Mrs. Sebelius' actions as a public official "present the most direct challenge to religious liberty in recent history." Mrs. Sebelius helped shape President Obama's 2010 health care law, which includes a mandate that requires employers to provide health insurance that covers birth control for workers. Catholic bishops have led opposition to the mandate.
Mrs. Sebelius, a former Kansas governor, is scheduled to speak Friday at a ceremony for graduates of Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute. A Georgetown spokeswoman said Wednesday that the plans have not changed.
RFK Jr.'s estranged wife found dead, cause unknown
BEDFORD | Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s estranged wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who had fought drug and alcohol problems, was found dead at the family property Wednesday.
An autopsy for the 52-year-old was scheduled for Thursday, and no cause of death had been released.View Entire Story
