Who were you in high school - page 6
by Dezy
You know, sometimes I wonder what kind of people my fellow nursing students were when they were in high school! We have the same career choice, but how close do we resemble in personalities? For example, I was always a tomboy... Read More
- 0Jan 1, '13 by SunshineDaisyHmm, who was I...I was friends with everyone, from all different cliques. Always friendly and happy and goofy. I loved my art classes. I wanted to be a comedian or sports therapist. Would rather hang out with my friends then go out with boys. I was shy around the boys i liked. I didn't come out of my shell around guys until after high school, then ended up a big ol' flirt! Nursing didn't cross my mind till years later!
- 1Jan 3, '13 by scrubs&studsI was the class clown that failed an entire year dang near finding out I was going to graduate the day before I walked with about a 2.30 GPA. Yeah I pretty much hated high school and it showed. . .Hygiene Queen likes this.
- 1Jan 3, '13 by jetroI have always been a reserved yet concise person who just wants things to get to a conclusion. In hi school, I was the smart guy who finishes the teachers sentences, and always try to get to the point. I'm not a genius or anything but I was such a smartass lol. I used to never study sleep in class and still do well on quizzes and exams. I just played with all my classes and still graduated with honors lol. I was also a loner but alot of my classmates know me and they're my friends but I preferred being alone. Cause I was obsessed with being an observer and cold reading back then.Dezy likes this.
- 0Jan 3, '13 by FDW630Very shy and homeschooled. I loved school work and graduated salutatorian from a private school...didn't attend, they just kept my records. I took college classes my last two years of highschool. Took a year off after I graduated and got married and had two kids...finally went back at 25.
- 0Jan 3, '13 by CT PixieI was a part of the 'popular' crowd. However I wasn't one who only hung exclusivly with the popular crowd. I had friends in all the different 'cliques' in high school ('geek', partiers/stoners, jocks, etc). That didn't go over well with some of the girls in the popular crowd..how dare I befriend anyone in 'those' groups. My friends included people my own age as well as much older.
I never skipped school because I really had more interest in learning than I did about hiding out from parents during our skip day. while my crowd tended to be trouble makers (nothing illegal, just mouthing off to the teachers etc) I was never one to do that. I think I hung with so many different crowds because I had the same traits as them all rolled up into one person. I loved to party but knew there was a time and place. I could be mouthy but again, knew my place. While part of the 'popular' crowd, I never, ever bullied or belittled anyone who wasn't in with the in crowd. I was the campion for the underdog.
I always wanted to be a nurse for as long as I could remember but didn't gear my high school classes toward the sciences because my so-called best friend, flipped out one day when I mentioned wanting to be a nurse. She insisted I only wanted to do that because she said she did. (if she were truly a friend she would have realized years before that nursing is always where i wanted to go).
Basically I am the same person now that I was in high school. I try to always treat people with respect, give people the benefit of the doubt, no allow myself to be bullied into only being able to like/do/say what the 'crowd' is. - 0Jan 3, '13 by DawnCapriceI was involved in everything....I was in Student Council, the mascot for our football team (I didn't have enough time to attend cheerleading practice), SADD President, Exchangettes member, Peer Counseling are the things I can think of off the top of my head. I was friends with everyone (because I wanted to be voted into Student Council, lol). I had a phone connected to my ear whenever I was home (this was before cell phones). I was a social butterfly. Never missed a football game, pep rally or party. I was voted most spirited of my class. I had a GREAT time in high school. Academics were not my focus though. I was a boy crazy fool too!

With a huge thanks for grant assistance from the Calaveras Community Foundation, a free map brochure of the first 17.5 miles of the Arnold Rim Trail is available in pdf and print versions.
For a 1.6 MB pdf, click here to download the map brochure
For a 15 MB pdf, click here to download the map brochure
For a printed version, visit one of the following locations: * Angels Camp: Mountain Pedaler & Calaveras Visitors Bureau
* Hathaway Pines: Calaveras Ranger District Office
* Arnold: Sierra Nevada Adventure Company, Arnold Branch Library, Sierra Nevada Logging Museum, Calaveras Big Trees State Park
Current access points to the Arnold Rim Trail are from the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum, Valley View Road, and Avery Sheep Ranch Road.
The northern terminus of the Arnold Rim Trail is at the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum in the community of White Pines. From the museum's parking lot, look for the start of the trail across the adjacent gravel road. The first mile is paved and gently graded for wheelchair accessibility.
* Directions: From eastbound Highway 4 in Arnold, veer left onto Blagen Road just past the Chevron gas station. Follow Blagen Road for approximately one mile through the community of White Pines. Turn left on Dunbar Road, following signs for Hazel Fisher School and Logging Museum. Just past White Pines Lake, turn right at the giant pencil that marks the Logging Museum entrance. Please respect the signs demarcating parking spaces reserved for the Museum.
* Special Note for Equestrians: The paved portion and roughly the next mile (which includes an easement across private propoerty) are closed to horses. Instead, follow the "Equestrian Bypass" that will connect with the main trunk of the Arnold Rim Trail after crossing San Antonio Creek. To get to the start of the Bypass, turn right on Forest Road 5N56 just past the Logging Museum. At the first road intersection, turn left to stay on Forest Road 5N56. Stay on 5N56 for approximately another mile. After keeping right at the next junction (with a private road), look for a small turnout on the left and an Arnold Rim Trail signpost. This turnout is not conducive to most horse-trailer parking. The easiest parking for trailers is near the Courtright-Emerson Ball Field on the north end of White Pines Lake. However, no signed route currently exists to direct you from the Ball Field to the Bypass. You will need to navigate your own way to the Logging Museum and then follow the above directions along the forest road to the start of the Bypass. Refer to the map at the top of this page for a visual aid.
VALLEY VIEW ROAD The access off this road provides the shortest route to destinations like Cougar Rock and Top of the World. The dirt portion of Valley View Road can be slick with mud after rains or snows. Beyond the first half-mile of dirt on the northern stretch, this county road also has a tendency to become deeply rutted and nearly impassable to low clearance vehciles.
* Directions: From eastbound Highway 4 in Arnold, turn left on Lakemont Drive. Veer left at the first junction onto Valley View Drive. Follow Valley View Drive for one mile through the residential area (please respect the 25 mph speed limit). Once the road turns to dirt, follow for another 0.5 mile. The parking area will be on your right and is currently noted with a non-descript parking symbol on a bulletin board. The "P9" access trail that joins to the Arnold Rim Trail is in the southwest portion of this large turnout.
AVERY SHEEP RANCH ROAD: More directions coming soon....

a) Major Research Activities
Shear Wave Splitting Measurements In The New Madrid Seismic Zone With Local Earthquake Data
This project investigates crustal anisotropy in the New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ) by analyzing shear wave splitting from local earthquake data. Located in the central United States, the NMSZ spans portions of western Tennessee, northeastern Arkansas, and southeastern Missouri. Preliminary results derived through analysis of 540 suitable events from 1151 earthquakes (M2) spanning the years 2003-2011 consist of 64 high quality shear wave splitting measurements. Two fast shear-wave polarization directions have been identified within the Reelfoot and portions of the Western Rift Margin fault region: N55-65 and N110-115, of which the first is the most dominant. The observed time delays between fast and slow split shear waves vary between 22 to 240 ms, or 1 to 25 ms/km when normalized to hypocentral distance. Most time delays larger than 14 ms/km are associated with shallower events at 5 to10 km hypocentral depth and are located within the southern region of the Reelfoot fault. The same region is also associated with low shear wave velocity anomalies (Powell, 2010) and microswarm activity (Bisrat et al., 2012); split shear wave time delays give an estimate of about 6% average crustal anisotropy and support the proposed existence of high pore-fluid pressure in the shallow crust.
Ambient noise cross-correlation in the eastern Tennessee seismic zone.
We applied this technique to the continuous data recorded at the eastern Tennessee short-period seismic array. We first collected the continuous data during a period of 3 months, usually considered as a minimum recording time to obtain sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio for imaging purpose. We computed the cross-correlation on the vertical component for all simultaneously recording station pairs. The obtained cross-correlograms were then analyzed by means of a standard multiple narrow bandpass filter technique typically used to extract group wave speed from surface waves in seismic signals. We thus obtained an average Rayleigh wave group dispersion curve for the region at periods ranging from 0.5 to 30 seconds, i.e. at higher frequencies than what earthquake studies allow because of the attenuation properties of the Earth's continental crust.
P-wave teleseismic travel time residual mapping in the eastern Tennessee seismic zone.
In this work we applied the adaptive stacking technique to the waveform data recorded at CERI short-period array from 1999 to 2011. We thus selected 224 events with epicentral distances ranging from 30 to 100 degrees (P-waves are not observed between 105 and 142 degrees because of their refraction in the Earth's outer core) and with magnitudes greater than 5.5 (Fig. 4). Locations from the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) and reference velocity model AK135 were used to compute theoretical arrival times. A total of 2855 P-wave residuals were obtained for the entire observation period. Fig. 5 shows the efficiency of the adaptive stacking procedure to align seismograms and extract the travel time residuals. On Fig. 6, individual residual distributions are shown for each station, along with its mean value and associated standard deviation. These results are compiled on the map on Fig. 7. Results obtained for individual events will be used to determine the 3D velocity structure of the deepest part of the crust and upper mantle.
Kraljevo earthquake sequence analysis
On November 3., 2010, a magnitude 5.4 (Mw) earthquake occurred near the city of Kraljevo, Serbia, in the Balkan Peninsula, and was followed by more than 650 aftershocks. In order to better characterize its epicentral location, its depth and the orientation of the fault on which that earthquake took place, we collected waveform data for the main shock and its aftershock sequence from several seismological institutions of Serbia and neighboring countries. We first of all obtained a 1D velocity model for the area, which can be used in the future to locate other earthquakes that will occur in the vicinity of Kraljevo. This velocity model could also be used as an initial model for a 3D local earthquake tomography study in the region. The accurate locations that we obtained show that the mainshock was located at 43.743N and 20.708E, at a depth of 15.4 km. The aftershocks clearly depict a subvertical EW-trending plane which allow to identify the direction of the fault involved in Kraljevo earthquake. Its strike-slip nature is furthermore accredited by the focal mechanisms determined for the aftershocks of magnitude greater than 3.0, although some of them seem to be associated with different mechanisms and may have occurred on secondary, differently oriented faults. This is also suggested by a NS alignment of epicenters in the southwestern part of the region affected by the aftershocks.
Joint Bayesian inversion of hypocentral and velocity model determination with the reversible jump algorithm
Markov chain Monte Carlo (McMC) inversion algorithms offer an interesting alternative to linearized inverse methods as they allow to sample the parameter space according to the posterior probability distribution by combining a priori information with the information contained in the data without any need for regularization. Such algorithms also have the interesting property of showing no dependence on the initial model configuration and are furthermore well known to provide more realistic estimates of parameter variance and covariance. A feature of our algorithm is that, besides P-wave velocity values in each layer of the velocity model, the number of layers itself, as well as their respective thicknesses, are also considered as unknowns and inverted for in the procedure. This is achieved by means of transdimensional partition modeling and yields a parsimonious solution whose complexity (the number of layers in the model) is driven by the data and their associated uncertainties. The velocity inversion part of the algorithm is still in progress but the earthquake location part has already been successfully tested. One experiment we carried out consisted in generating synthetic P-wave arrival times at the 97 seismic stations of the Northern California Seismic Network (NCSN) for 18 hypothetical earthquakes having occurred in the middle of the array. The total resulting dataset consists of 1747 arrival times to which Gaussian noise was added to simulate real data noise. The obtained results show that in each case, the true location is located within 1 standard deviation around the mean hypocentral solution. A comparison with the results obtained with a commonly used earthquake location software, namely Hypocenter, based on a linearized inversion method shows that in the latter case, the depth of some earthquakes can be erroneous if the chosen starting location was not appropriate (Fig. 16). This illustrates the fact that such techniques may strongly depend on initial models and get easily trapped in local minima of the objective function. This simple experiment clearly demonstrates the superiority of the method we developed with respect to conventional techniques.
b) Training and Development Activities for Students
All students, post-doc and faculty participating on Project 5 had multifaceted training and development opportunities. During the summer of 2011 three graduate students, Sanja Knezevic-Antonijevic, Jubril Davies and Tolulope Agbaje, completed two-month summer internships at the University of Nevada, Reno. Their summer field projects included paleo-seismic studies using sonar in Lake Tahoe and study of 2011 Hawthrone earthquake sequence. Students presented results of summer internship research at the December 2011 American Geophysical Union Meeting in San Francisco, CA (funded by CREST Project 5).
All graduate students had a chance to attend at least one national research conference. Sanja Knezevic-Antonijevic presented results of her research at the North Carolina ArcUsers Group Fall Conference in Carolina Beach, NC (September 14-16, 2011) and at the Fall AGU meeting in December of 2011 in San Francisco, California. In the spring of 2012 five NCCU graduate students, Sanja Knezevic-Antonijevic, Jubril Davies, Tolulope Agbaje, Carl Stearns and Ayodeyi Kuponiyi presented their CREST sponsored research at the Seismological Society of America Meeting in San Diego, CA. In addition, Tolulope Agbaje won first place for her poster at the 4th Annual CST North Carolina Central University Student Research Symposium (March, 2012).
In addition to courses offered at NCCU, several students completed Principles of Seismology and Data Analysis in Earth Science graduate courses at UNC-CH and participated in the weekly student-faculty Journal Club. One graduate student (Philip Martin) was also able to complete summer 2012 volcano seismology field course through New Mexico Tech and the Instituto Geofisico in Ecuador. During the course he participated in deployment of six seismometers and an infrasound array on the flank of the active volcano Tungurahua. During spring semester of 2012 Philip also participated in the Central North Carolina Seismic Survey lead by Dr. Lara Wagener (UNC-CH) during witch 12 seismic monitoring stations were installed in Lee County, mostly in the Triassic basin. The goal of the study is to document background seismic activity for possible comparison with future levels of seismicity, if extraction of natural gas using the hydrologic fracturing method in approved in North Carolina. He will share both of his experiences with other graduate students and faculty during brown bag seminar in the Fall of 2012.
With the help of other external funding ("Technology Assistance with Implementation and Operation of Transportable Array Element of EARTSCOPE and USArray", May 1, 2012 – September 30, 2012, G. Vlahovic, PI) this summer we were able to support two additional undergraduate students interested in seismology. After completing the mandatory training at the workshop held at the University of Pittsburg, PA (May 21-24) James Howard and Thomas Horne (undergraduate students) and Philip Martin (graduate) will use their geospatial analysis skills to select possible sites for the USArray stations, verify suitability of each site during the field visit and write and submit reconnaissance reports to the funding agency, Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology. In total, 25 sited will be identified and approved in North Carolina and Virginia before the end of the project.
c) Outreach Activities
On June 18, 2012, as part of the introduction to the University, Dr. Pierre Arroucau presented overview of the CREST seismology research program to high school students involved with Summer Ventures.
During the summer of 2012 two graduate and one undergraduate student participating in the USArray siting project were trained to approach landowners and explain EarthScope project, USArray station requirements and seismology imaging techniques in understandable terms. They were coached to answer questions about the goals of the project, specific USArray site requirements and landowners commitment and liability issues, general questions about earthquake activity in the eastern US, as well as contemporary concerns of the citizens. For example, questions that frequently came up were about funding (if taxpayers' money were being used to fund the project) and about fracking (if project had any connection with gas/oil exploration activities). Students spent 10 weeks this summer visiting 25 potential sites and talking to more then a hundred North Carolina and Virginia landowners increasing their awareness about the EarthScope and seismology
d) Collaboration with other HBCUs
Over the past two years G. Vlahovic from NCCU and R. Malhotra from Fayetteville State University (FSU) have partnered on various initiatives, prominent among them the summer internship experience for FSU Geography undergraduates that was funded and promoted through NCCU. In Summer 2011 one student interned at Fort Bragg and two students interned at the City of Fayetteville. This summer (2012), one student interned at the Environmental Protection Agency and another one at the City of Fayetteville. Moreover, two undergraduate students from FSU applied and were accepted to the Earth Science master's program at NCCU. Recently G. Vlahovic submitted a White Paper to National Geospatial Intelligence Agency titled "Talent Pipeline – Increasing Diversity and Enhancing Geospatial Programs". It outlines multipronged approach to development of lasting geospatial intelligence focused partnership and pipeline for minority talent between two universities. The White Paper proposes that graduate programs (Computer Information Science, Earth Science, and Physics) at NCCU form a comprehensive geospatial intelligence focused partnership with undergraduate programs (Computer Science, Geography, Intelligence Studies, and Physics) at FSU to create a pipeline for developing future Intelligence Analysts. The partnership would provide undergraduate students pursuing geospatial intelligence studies at FSU early exposure to graduate school, a chance to participate in a summer internship/work programs at external partners such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), L-3 Communications, and Booze Allen Hamilton (BAH), and a study field trip to India. The proposed program, if funded, would over 4 years (2013–2017) expose FSU sophomores, juniors and seniors to graduate studies opportunities at NCCU and partnerships that lead to IC careers. It is anticipated that by the end of the grant 15 undergraduate students from FSU will join the graduate programs at NCCU every year.

Delicious with game such as duck, hare or pigeon but also perfect with a roasted entrecote steak.
"Shows a lovely savory hint, with green olive and tobacco notes wrapping around serious chalky grip. The core of butter, cherry, red currant and blackberry fruit sits in the background for now. Dense and vinous, this is driven by minerality, and should age wonderfully as the fruit comes forward. Best from 2015 through 2027." 95 Points Wine Spectator
"Inky ruby. Blackberry preserves and cherry-cola on the deeply scented nose and in the mouth. Weighty but lively, showing impressive concentration and a slow-building floral pastille quality. Becomes spicier with air and shows excellent clarity and focus. Dusty tannins give grip to the finish, which strongly echoes the blackberry note." 93 Points International Wine Cellar
"This shows more finely detailed aromas than the 2009 - violets and cracked pepper accent dark fruit - but less pure richness and concentration. It's still a full-bodied, dense expression of Cornas, with bright acids highlighting plum and black olive notes. " 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
A native of Marseilles, Colombo first developed a strong admiration for the wines of the Rhone Valley in the late 1970s as a pharmacy student. A devotee of the Syrah grape, Colombo was convinced that the northern Rhone appellation of Cornas offered enormous and, at the time, unrecognized potential for producing super-quality Syrah wines. After earning degrees in pharmacy and...Read More About Jean-Luc Colombo
(core-NAHS) Talk about potential... the appellation of Cornas is lesser-known than its northern counterparts, but has the ability to make delicious, hearty, long-lasting wines. The hills of Cornas are steep and hug the Rhone river, as many Northern Rhone appellations do. Cornas is typically best when aged for up to 10 years, although pioneer winemakers, like Jean-Luc Columbo...Read More About Cornas
(seh-RAH/shee-RAHZ) It's a Smokin' Grape Syrah and Shiraz - same grape, different name. It's a popular and adept variety, growing in multiple regions and creating many different styles of wine. The home base of Syrah is the Northern Rhone, where it creates the exclusive wines of Hermitage and Cote Rotie. On the less pricy side, the Rhone makes Syrah-based wines in Crozes...Read More About Syrah/Shiraz

Found this wonderful Vietnamese recipe in a supermarket leaflet and adapted it to my liking. Everyone I share it with is crazy about it and it has ended up on the lunch menu at the hotel where I work! If you've never used fish sauce before, go for it. It may smell like dirty socks, but it is essential to this dish, do not delete or substitute. If you don't want to bother with all the herbs, just use cilantro, it's still great. Let me know how you like it!

Product Features
ecobubble™ technology
Samsung's ecobubble™ technology uses a bubble generator to dissolve detergent into the water and then inject air, producing a rich soapy foam cushion. When the ecobubble™ technology is applied, the detergent is better dissolved into the water and faster penetration into clothes is achieved, so less hot water is needed to aid the cleaning process. The Super Eco Wash programme washes at just 15°C, with the results of a 40°C wash, using just 30% of the energy as a result.*
Enjoy the outdoors, but keep it off your clothes
Samsung's ecobubble™ Technology delivers advanced fabric care as well as perfect cleanliness by minimising damage. With reduced mechanical action and bubble-generating technology, your clothes stay looking newer for longer. The softer and smoother bubble action protects the delicate clothes such as outdoor wear and water-repellent fabrics. Outdoor and water-repellent clothing is protected with the ecobubble™ Technology.

Sandoval's 3 HRs lead Giants to 8-3 romp in opener
Oct 25th, 2012 - Sports News
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pablo Sandoval became just the fourth player to hit three home runs in a World Series game, connecting twice against Justin Verlander and once off Al Alburquerque to lead the San Francisco Giants over the Detroit Tigers 8-3 in Wednesday night's opener.
Sandoval hit a solo home run to right-center in the first, a two-run, opposite-field drive to left in the third and another bases-empty shot into the center-field batter's eye in the fifth. He joined Babe Ruth (1926 and 1928), Reggie Jackson (1977) and Albert Pujols (2011) as the only players with three-homer games in the Series.
Barry Zito, who like Sandoval watched the 2010 Series opener from the dugout, won by allowing one run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Detroit will send Doug Fister to the mound tonight for game #2, 8:07 p.m. is game time.

San Antonio Spurs: Predicting the Full Roster for the 2012-13 Season
By Garrett Jochnau ,
The San Antonio Spurs' offseason will likely consist of two major tasks—re-signing the players whose contracts expired and bringing over some fresh talent from Europe.
Like always, it would be surprising to see the Spurs make a big trade, and with their minimal amount of available money, a big signing is also highly unlikely.
For the most part, the 2012-13 roster will look fairly similar to last year, with a few minor changes made in order to ensure that they would have a better shot at the ring.
Here's a look at the 14 players who will be sporting black and silver for the team by the start of next season.
No surprises here—San Antonio's star point guard will return to claim his starting job next season.
After a career season in which he posted a spectacular 18.3 points and a career high of 7.7 assists, Parker will likely lead the team's attack next season as well.
With multiple years left on his contract, the only means by which Parker's name would not top the Spurs' roster would be via trade.
After such a successful 2011-2012 outing, it's highly unlikely that the French guard will be parting ways with the Spurs.
Expect Parker to return with the same "attack-first" mindset as last year and lead the Spurs throughout another quest for a fifth ring.
Despite Danny Green's poor play in the postseason, his regular season success should be enough to land him on the Spurs' roster for the 2012-13 season.
He will likely be signed for a small contract, one that the Spurs should have no problem affording.
His solid defensive play as well as his overall effort on both ends will once again allow Green to make an impact on the squad.
He entered the season as a giant question mark, with many wondering whether he would even make the roster.
However, he found himself a spot and utilized the opportunity to make a name for himself in the league.
He took Manu Ginobili's place in the starting lineup, allowing the shooting guard to become the team's sixth man. When Popovich tried to put Ginobili back in during the playoffs, it was easy to see what a disaster that was, as they failed to receive major contributions from the bench.
He will likely allow Ginobili to return to the bench, thereby making Danny Green the starting shooting guard for the 2012-13 season.
While the draft-day deal that sent George Hill to Indiana in exchange for Kawhi Leonard may have originally caused uproar, Leonard quickly proved critics wrong.
The rookie out of San Diego State quickly emerged as one of the best first-year players in the league, with both his defense and hustle playing a large part in the Spurs' success.
He also developed a strong outside game and showed much improvement in other aspects of his game.
Leonard claimed the starting role after Richard Jefferson was shipped to Golden State, and he proved himself almost immediately.
As the future of the Spurs, it is almost guaranteed that Leonard will be the starting small forward for the San Antonio Spurs next season.
Tim Duncan, despite reaching the end of his contract, has made it fairly clear where he intends to play next season.
Retirement is the only other option for the 36-year-old superstar, but after a comeback year in 2011-2012, it is apparent that Duncan has enough left in the tank for another season.
He no longer is the leader of the team—that title now belongs to Parker—but I'd be lying if I said he wasn't one of the top contributors.
Despite his decline, he still is a top-10 power forward in the league, as demonstrated with his complete dominance throughout the regular season and in the playoffs.
His overall minutes may take another hit, but his spot in the starting lineup will not.
If he decides to play another season or two, Duncan's face will once again be seen roaming the courts off San Antonio.
The acquisition of Boris Diaw during the midway point of last season proved to be a monumental one on the Spurs' playoff run.
He quickly assumed the title of starting center, knocking DeJuan Blair to the back of the bench.
His versatility helped the Spurs in ways unimaginable, and he proved to be a vital member of the team.
Despite entering free agency, San Antonio will likely retain the French big man and will use the majority of their money to do so.
He was very successful as the starting center last season, so if indeed the Spurs re-sign him, he is the easy choice to complete the starting roster.
After being selected earlier than expected in the 2011 NBA draft, Cory Joseph spent the majority of his 2012 campaign being sent down and then called back up to rejoin the roster.
With Patty Mills on leave, the Spurs will be in need of a backup point guard, or even a third-string point guard to play behind Gary Neal.
He wasn't very effective in his rookie season, but as a sophomore, Joseph's role will likely increase, as the team will depend on him more and more.
His time in the D-League as well as his limited experience in the pros will have helped mature him into the player that the Spurs need him to be.
He may find himself playing with the Austin Toros once or twice next season, but expect Joseph to spend the majority of his time in San Antonio.
Gary Neal is also a free agent, but the Spurs will likely use what little room they have to re-sign him.
Despite fading away in the final few games of the Spurs' season, Neal was a fantastic contributor during the regular season, as well as last year.
His youth makes him an ideal member to be the future of the team, and it is highly unlikely that San Antonio would let a player with his ability walk away next season.
He may find himself starting at the 2 every once in a while, if Green proves to be ineffective, but he will likely find his primary role to be backing up Parker at the 1.
He is slowly but surely evolving into a confident and mature member of the team, and with the demand for him to succeed becoming larger, Neal will likely increase his production for the 2012-13 season.
Ginobili's future in San Antonio is all but written in stone, as it appears that the veteran shooting guard is with the team until the end.
His 2012 campaign was plagued with injury, so in 2012-13, it is very possible that his minutes take a slight dip in order to preserve him for a few more seasons.
He also should return to the sixth-man role, as the team performed the best when he came off the bench.
He provided the Spurs with a strong leader in the second team, something that was clearly missing prior to this move.
Ginobili, like Duncan, is on the decline but still can produce in a high quantity. He may be old, but Ginobili has another strong season ahead of him.
Next season, it appears as though the Spurs will have another foreign player to add to their current mix of players, as the French guard reported that he was ready to make the jump to the NBA.
As a widely recognized star in the Spanish league, De Colo's nice mix of size and talent make him a unique player to add to their roster.
Gary Neal will likely be forced to play point often, so adding another shooting guard to take his place on the roster was a smart move to make.
De Colo was drafted in 2009 by the team, but he wasn't one of their most NBA-ready foreign prospects.
If nothing falls through, De Colo will likely be sporting the black and silver for next year's season.
The Spurs traded for Stephen Jackson at the deadline, a move that was highly questionable but later proved to be the right choice.
Jackson was very effective from beyond the arc, especially during the Oklahoma City series, but his best quality was the "nasty" he brought to the team.
Jackson, often labeled a "bad boy," had no problem leaving his act behind and instead bringing energy to San Antonio.
He proved to be a crucial member of the Spurs' roster in the second half of the season, and while he may not see any more seasons in San Antonio beyond the next, he'll still find himself donning the black and silver in 2012-13.
Another foreign player looking to join the roster for next season is Erazem Lorbek, the Slovenian big man currently playing in Spain.
The team gained the draft rights to Lorbek as a part of the package that they received in return for George Hill.
Recent reports say that Lorbek has made his decision and plans on coming over for the 2012-13 season.
Lorbek proved to be one of the best players in his league and has the various awards to show for it.
His numerous All-Euroleague selections are nothing to scoff at, as the 6'10'' power forward's combination of shooting and size helped him to be one of the most dominant players in his league.
With Lorbek. the Spurs receive another great outside shooter, similar to Matt Bonner. However, unlike Bonner, Lorbek's strength allows him to be a quality rebounder as well.
His addition will likely cut into Bonner's playing time, as the more versatile Lorbek will likely be the team's shooting big man.
Bonner experienced a late-season slump, as he began to struggle with the only thing that he can do well—shoot threes.
Bonner's role on the team was to wait for an open long-shot, and with him struggling with that, he's nearly useless on the court.
However, the Spurs have him wrapped up for a few more seasons, so unless they find a willing trade partner, Bonner will likely remain in San Antonio.
Until he proves that he can still shoot threes without an issue, Bonner will become a benchwarmer for the majority of the season, but it would be foolish to predict that he'll spend the entire season on the bench.
Pop loves Bonner, and it would be expected that he finds time for him, one way or another.
If one player is going to be shipped elsewhere via trade this summer, it will likely be Tiago Splitter.
A mistake on Splitter's part in the Western Conference Finals resulted in a sight that we don't see too often—a very angry Gregg Popovich.
However, I find it absurd to believe that this one incident will earn Splitter a one-way ticket out of San Antonio, as the Brazilian big man proved what a large upside he had, during last season.
His defense and rebounding were strong, and Splitter proved that he could score with an array of post moves to utilize in the paint.
His strong passing game has drawn comparison to Tim Duncan, and with the Big Fundamental's help, Splitter could become the next great big man in San Antonio.
With Lorbek now on the bench too, the rare sighting of both Duncan and Splitter on the court may become more frequent, but he'll still come off the bench, at least until he further proves himself.
DeJuan Blair began the season as the Spurs' starting center, only to drop off the face of the earth after the addition of Boris Diaw.
Blair soon became a forgotten name in San Antonio, as he barely saw action on the court.
However, the loss to Oklahoma City really proved his value, as it exposed their need for rebounding and youth.
Despite the expiration of his contract, Blair will likely be sporting black and silver next season again, as the team's new addition of Lorbek will allow Bonner to take Blair's spot on the bench.
He will likely be utilized in a stronger fashion, as his rebounding and strength are key to the team's success, despite his issues on defense.
Still, Blair is another one of San Antonio's success stories, and it would be very surprising if they let him walk away and join another team.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just wont take no for an answer when it comes to
Gun Owners of America
Pro-gun Senator Dean Heller Continues to Battle Harry Reid over Gun-Grabbing Judicial Nominee
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just wont take no for an answer when it comes to trampling the Second Amendment.
We reported to you about his judicial pick of Elissa Cadish for the federal District Court in Nevada.
You may remember that Cadish, when asked in 2008 by a group called Citizens for Responsible Government whether she believed an individual citizen had a constitutional right to keep and bear arms, answered:
I do not believe there is this constitutional right. Thus, I believe that reasonable restrictions may be imposed on gun ownership in the interest of public safety. Of course, I will enforce the laws as they exist as a judge.
Of course, Cadishs very assertion that restrictions ... on gun ownership [further] public safety shows an intense anti-gun bias and suggests that Cadish, once on the bench for life, will do everything possible to thwart gun owners rights.
As for the enforce the laws lingo, weve heard that before from other Obama nominees, including Sonia Sotomayor. Like Cadish, Sotomayor also denied that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual, constitutional right. As soon as she had secured confirmation, she went on an anti-Second Amendment rampage on the Supreme Court.
Not content to ignore the Constitution, ObamaCare Harry Reid is now threatening to ignore the Senate rules as well and to ignore Senator Dean Hellers blue slip objection to the Cadish nomination.
Under Senate precedents and traditions, a Senator can veto a judicial nominee from his state by signing a piece of paper known as a blue slip. And Dean Heller has in fact blue slipped Cadish due to concerns over her strident anti-Second Amendment views.
But this week Reid announced his intention to meet with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT) and to ask that he ignore the Senate rules and hold a hearing on the Cadish nomination even after she has been blue slipped.
ACTION: Contact Senator Dean Heller. Thank him for holding firm in opposition to the nomination of anti-gun Elissa Cadish. Even if you live outside of Nevada, you can email Sen. Heller at
Pre-written letter to cut-and-paste:
Dear Senator Heller,
Thank you for standing firm in your opposition to the nomination of anti-gun zealot Elissa Cadish to a judgeship on the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.
Rest assured that, should Harry Reid try to ignore the Senates rules, precedents, and traditions in order to push this ill-begotten nomination, Americas gun owners will demand that every Republican Senator vote as a bloc to protect the rights of the minority party and to stand up for our Second Amendment rights as well.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
