Energy. Enthusiasm. A passion for teaching. Julise Clement, national Advisor of the Year, pours her heart into her students and embodies the best SkillsUSA has to offer.
Julise Clement loves the first day of school.
Our technical school serves nine high schools, she says. Theyre all competitive in sporting events and things like that. And they walk in the first day and everybodys just giving each other the eye. Then she tells the students that their rivalsnow classmatesare going to be their best friends by December. And theyre all going, Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and theyre just sitting there.
But Clement, a SkillsUSA advisor for 12 years, is prepared for their disbelief. We go through some orientation and things they should expect to learn, and then we go on down the road and talk about what theyd like and things that they like to do.
Thats where it begins, what Clement calls a remarkable change from the beginning of the year to December. At Dekalb County Technology Center in Rainsville, Ala., shes seen a lot of kids with no guidance. They just really need somebody to help them coach them along, to teach them how to act and teach them what to wear and what to do for interviews and things like that.
So the first-day chat leads into opening up to find out a little bit about them and where they come from, and maybe why they are the way they are. And all of a sudden, you know, they steal your heart, and then you begin that relationship that goes on forever, she says.
Clements classes are always full, and the reason is easy to see. I think it goes back to the advisors and the enthusiasm that they have themselves for their job, she says. And I myself am very enthusiastic in my classroom and in my school.
She describes herself as a real project person who, through SkillsUSA, loves to see students get involved in the community and grow from the experience. In one project, they help mentally challenged children. It may be reading to them. It may be doing their hair, because Im a cosmetology teacher, and teaching them how to do certain things to better themselves, teaching them communications skills.
Another project is sending letters and packages to the soldiers in Iraq. Their involvement in that really impressed me, the way they changed, she says. Everything went from me, me, me and the prom to Ms. Clement, when are we gonna write our letters again?
She involves students in what they do best. The quiet ones write the letters, and the drama queens are in front of the camera, in videos to the soldiers or to promote enrollment at the school.
I love to take pictures at the beginning of the year, Clement says. Then at the end of the year, we have this bulletin board thats kind of before and after. And the students look at themselves and go, Did I really look like that when I came here? And Im like, Yeah, but you looked fine; youve just gotten a little older. But you know, just watching them change in that one year and then maybe in the second year, that motivates me.
My two children are grown, and you know, these are my kids. I love to see them, I love to see them achieve, and I love to spend time with them.
As SkillsUSAs national conference approaches, local businesses call and offer to pay for the plane tickets. The chapters activities are well known, because when they come back, kids will spread the word better than I will, Clement says. They will go back to their home schools and they will be the first ones to say, You need to go to the tech school. You have got to go, and they go on this trip They talk about fun stuff, but then they come back years later, maybe five years later or 10 years later too, and they say, I promise you its gonna be the highlight of my life, going to states, going to nationals, learning all the things that we did.
Some come back in the summer, soon after graduation, she adds. And Im like, What are yall doing here? Youre supposed to be at the pool!
Theyre just so eager to give back, and I really think its because my passion is there for them and they know it. And if everybody just put into their job in the classroom, or maybe their chapters, a little more enthusiasm, a little more fun, theyre gonna love it.

"I love being creative and seeing my visions come to life," says Briana Ryma, the professional photographer behind Bri Ryma Portraits. She lends her eye for detail to virtually any subject, from women strolling to the beach to cats hiding behind curtains plotting a coup against the dog.

Once on location with a client, Briana helps them relax and have fun in order to capture organic poses and memorable images.

LASER: Lane After School Education with Reed
We are now accepting applications for spring semester interning positions! To access this form, FIRST log into Google Docs using your Reed Kerberos user name and password, THEN click on the common application page. (Note: If you are logged into Google using a non-Reed user name, you will not be able to view the applicaiton.) Applications due by Saturday, September 14. Questions or need help with the application process? Please email Sage, the interning coordinator, at the email listed below.
Lane Middle School is ethnically diverse, with the student body being about 48% white, 25% Latino, 12% African American, 12% Asian, and 5% Native American; additionally, over 80% of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Reed students, as members of a socially and academically elite community, have access to resources, skills, and privileges that Lane students do not; as such, LASER hopes to provide Lane students with otherwise unavailable classroom assistance, desired and consistent after-school classes, and one-on-one mentor relationships, while Reed students are given the opportunity to gain valuable first-hand teaching experience while forging and sustaining important connections with the greater Portland community. Ultimately, interns and mentors strive to confront the social and economic inequities that stratify our city and our national public education system.
Mentoring is a rewarding year-long commitment between a Reedie and a Lane student. Each pair spends one hour a week together after school. There is no set curriculum; the goal of the program is to provide each Lane student with a responsible, consistent, fun adult who takes the time to focus on him or her and his or her life, while providing Reedies with an opportunity to get off campus, gain insight about education and social issues, and put their education to a practical use.
Mentoring takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-5pm or 5-6pm, so potential mentors must be able to be on the Lane school campus during one of those hours. Training will take place on Saturday, September 15th.
Coordinator: John Young
Interns are selected to work in a specific classroom with varying teachers and subjects based upon their own experience and academic interests. Most travel to Lane once a week, although some choose to volunteer more to make solid connections with Lane students and to learn the inner workings of the school. During second semester, interns can work with the after-school program as well and assist in enrichment and extracurricular activities. Additionally, interns participate in a short orientation and meet monthly to check in, maintain a support network, discuss educational issues, and/or plan larger activities. Occasional weekend or evening trainings will also be provided; at these trainings, interns will gain knowledge and awareness about issues of public education and diversity as well as effective skills for working with those issues.
Coordinator: Sage Freeburg
***Both of these programs qualify for Off-Campus Federal Work Study! Those students who receive FWS as part of their financial aid package can get paid through the Off-Campus FWS Community Service Internship program, but you must complete ALL the required paperwork BEFORE you can be paid. Please visit the Off-Campus Federal Work Study Page to learn about the process and to download the required paperwork.
To learn more about Lane and the history of the program, check out the history page!

DALLAS - It might have been a little early for hot dogs, but it wasn't for News 8 Daybreak's Colleen Coyle Tuesday morning.
She stopped by Frankie's Sports Bar and Grill in Uptown, where they're hosting a hot dog eating contest on July 4th. The contest benefits Honor Flight DFW, which sends World War II Veterans on a two-day trip to Washington D.C to see the memorial.
News 8 spoke with World War II veteran Paul Fouts Tuesday morning about his experience with Honor Flight DFW. Fouts, an avid traveler, compared his past trips with the Honor Flight DFW one he took last year.
"My wife and I, when she was alive, traveled all over - China, Japan - we traveled by freight air three months at a time, but that two-day trip was by far the best trip of my life," he said. "I took it ... I immediately came home and volunteered. I'm the top fundraiser as an individual."
Save up your appetite and head over at noon Wednesday to Frankie's to scarf down some dogs. It's $20 to enter the Hot Dog Eating Contest, and anyone can participate. All proceeds go to Honor Flight DFW.
The crowned winner of Monday's contest was Bill Katz.

La Porte des Indes
'Indian cuisine with a difference' might sound like hyberbole but it's a fact: 'Gateway to the Indies' serves the food of Pondicherry (now Puducherry), a French colony on the southeast coast until 1962.
'Indian cuisine with a difference' might sound like hyberbole but it's a fact: 'Gateway to the Indies' serves the food of Pondicherry (now Puducherry), a French colony on the southeast coast until 1962.
Chef Cyrus Todiwala has taken an old magistrates court just a 10-minute walk from Tower Hill and decorated it in carnival colours; the service and atmosphere are as bright as the walls. The Parsi and Goan menu is famous for its superlative dhansaak (lamb stew with rice and lentils; £14.
With its Bollywood posters, scattered pieces from Mumbai's Thieves Market, Indian market kitchen/bazaar cuisine, home-made pickles and spice mixes, and accent on genuine flavour, good-looking Potli deftly captures the aromas of its culinary home.
Domed skylights, high ceilings, parquet flooring and a book-lined mezzanine all convey an atmosphere reminiscent of a colonial club. The food is sumptuous: a mix of traditional Indian with a modern European twist. If money is no object, treat yourself to a culinary adventure with one of the tasting menus (lunch/dinner £45/75).
When you eventually locate this gorgeous restaurant off the King's Road and ring the doorbell, it's like being invited round for dinner at someone's Chelsea residence with a handful of other guests.
Arguably one of the best Indian vegetarian restaurants in London, Diwana specialises in Bombay-style bhel poori (a sweet-and-sour, soft and crunchy 'party mix' snack) and dosas (filled pancakes made from rice flour).
The speciality at this much-loved restaurant is the subtle cuisine of Portugal's former colony on India's west coast. Winning dishes include the lovely chini raan achari (pot roasted lamb shank with spices), Ma's fish caldin (swordfish with coconut, mustard & fenugreek sauce) and the stir-fried Goa chorizo .
If there is one thing you should try at Namaaste, it's the kebab platter: although everything is of high standard, the meat and fish coming out of the kitchen grill are beautifully tender and incredibly flavoursome. The bread basket is another hit, with specialities such as Missi Roti (spiced) and Roomali Roti (very thin bread) making a nice change from the usual naans.
This laidback eatery takes the fast-disappearing old-style 'Bombay cafe' and gives it the kiss of life. It's distressed with a modern twist – all ceiling fans and Bollywood photos. The yummy dishes include caff favourites like lamb raan bun, a spicy pulled lamb 'sandwich', okra fries and snack foods like bhel, Bombay mix and puffed rice with pomegranate and lime.
This buzzing (OK, crowded) Punjabi restaurant is in another league to its Brick Lane equivalents. Seekh kebabs, masala fish and other starters served on sizzling hot plates are delicious, as are accompaniments such as dhal, naan and raita. Daily specials are also available. Tayyabs is hugely popular and queues often snake around the restaurant and out of the door.
Having opened in 1926, this upmarket curry house can lay claim to being the oldest Indian restaurant in Britain. It's now owned by the same people who run Masala Zone and the standards are as high as ever, with the kitchen producing such crowd-pleasers as slow-cooked Hyderabad lamb biryani and Keralan-style sea bass. Booking is advisable.
'Chilli and Spice', part of a small chain based in the epicentre of London subcontinental food, Southall, is a less hectic alternative to Tayyabs and the food is almost up to the same level. Order the prawn tikka (£9) as a 'warmer' followed by the masala karella (£5), a curry-like dish made from bitter gourd, and a karahi (stewed) meat dish.

|58 years later, car and first owner reunite
By NANCY WHITAKER
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP – Martha Bender of Antwerp was very excited when Paulding County Wildlife Officer Duane Bailey gave her a July copy of the Hot Rod Deluxe magazine. Why was she excited?
The reason was that included in the national magazine was a picture of an old Essex-nosed sports rod that was originally built by her husband, Ray Bender, and his father, Herb, back in 1949.
Bailey said, "I have always been a hot rod lover myself and I usually buy this magazine over the counter. I was reading it one day and saw the picture and description of this old car built here in Antwerp. I thought, 'Wow! I wonder if any of the Benders are still around?'

Recieved quickly and have ordered a few pairs to have around the house and office , good product.
Shipping was fast, product works as described; my only issue is the colour I didn't get my first or second choice.**from DebSpecs: will correct asap.
Easy to fold and use. Great delivery time too.
The glasses are ok but difficult to fold properly and then they stick out of the top of the case. The two pads that rest on the nose tend to get in each others way when trying to fold. I expected a better product.
Glasses work well. Case fits in my pocket.

Buena wins fifth straight, showdown with Ventura next
Two teams going in opposite directions squared off in a key Channel League game at Buena Stadium on Friday night, and after the first quarter there was little doubt surging Buena High would continue its brilliant play at the expense of its struggling opponent.
Ryan Ellis caught two touchdown passes from Martin Mijares and John O'Brien's 30-yard dash following a blocked punt fueled a 21-point first-quarter outburst and Buena overcame a few letdowns to register a convincing 31-17 victory over San Marcos.
The win was the fifth in a row for Buena following an 0-3 start. In those five victories the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents by a combined margin of 186-71. San Marcos, which won its first five games of the season (three against Ventura County opponents), lost its fourth in a row to fall to 5-4, 0-3.
More importantly, Buena improved to 2-0 in the Channel League to set up a key Channel League game against arch rival Ventura next Friday at Larrabee Stadium. Ventura defeated Dos Pueblos on the road 14-7 and will also take a 2-0 league record into the showdown.
"We're meshing better," Buena coach Tim Gutierrez said. "Guys are understanding where to be and are believing in the system. Leaders are stepping up."
Noah Martinez led a productive Buena ground attack, carrying 28 times for 172 yards. Mijares added a third touchdown pass, an 11-yard strike to Blayne Bennett, in the second half and finished with 155 yards in the air.
Bennett's TD catch was his ninth of the season, breaking a record for TD catches by a Buena receiver in a single season.
Following Buena's fast start, the Bulldogs were unable to build on their lead. The Bulldogs squandered an excellent scoring opportunity late in the first quarter and wound up being held scoreless in the second quarter while producing just two first downs.
Bennett's TD catch and a 38-yard field goal by Jacob Bentivolio produced Buena's only second-half points as the Bulldogs offense sputtered at times. Mijares, who completed 14 of 19 passes, wound up being sacked four times.
Defensively, after keeping the Royals in check for nearly the entire game, the Bulldogs surrendered two touchdowns in the final minute.
"A win is a win," Gutierrez said. "Obviously, we would have liked to have finished better. The second quarter wasn't great, but it is nice to be able to overcome that."
Having Martinez, who missed a few games because of a concussion, back in the lineup has been a big boost as Buena began Channel League play. Other injured players have also returned.
"We're at full strength right now," Gutierrez said. "That helps a ton."
After Ellis' two early TD catches, Colin Welsh blocked the first-quarter punt that led to O'Brien's touchdown that gave Buena its 21-0 lead. Kameron Carroll and Roy Angulo recovered two of San Marcos' three fumbles.
Buena wound up with just a 335-310 advantage in total yardage. However, 118 of San Marcos' total yards came in the final three minutes with the Royals trailing 31-3. Quarterback Wesley Ghan-Gibson directed a 69-yard scoring drive and after San Marcos successfully recovered the onside kick, marched his team 49 yards for another TD with 8.5 seconds left.

Help! Adding inline style to a class in a CMS..
Hi all,
I'm working on something using a client's CMS. This has built in classes which are used to display text on a decorative background - so it looks like an email, or a handwritten note.
My problem is that I need to make these wider if possible, as the default width isn't really wide enought to contain the content they want to put in them. I can't access the CSS that defines the attributes of these classes so I need to do it using inline style but I can't get it to work!

 Content goes here!

I've also tried adding:

Given all this is it possible to add an inline width attribute that will alter this class?!! Sorry I can't link anything - I'm pretty sure it could get me in trouble! They're an international company and I'm working on some copyright material that's not in the public domain as yet. And yes, it's a fair question as to why they hired me!
Thanks for any help!

If you want to control the width of the image as well you will need to apply an inline width style to the image tag.

The presence of top and bottom divs wrapping the content suggests the design may be using three background images. If the images have been made to fit the current width exactly and are not designed to repeat on the x axis then there is no way to stretch them wider with CSS.
It would be easier to make suggestions if full HTML (stripped of content if necessary but including DOCTYPE and head) and CSS code were provided.
Do you use the Firebug extension for Firefox? This is a great way to trace and actively experiment with styles in the page.

Hi both,
thanks for your suggestions. Having tried a bit more fiddling - and trying matt's suggestion - I'm no nearer victory
I can format everything to fit inside the predefined width of the div - it just looks a bit narrow and naff - but, it's going to be the best I can do and will suffice.
Victorinox - I haven't used Firebug yet - meaning to get round to it! - but I'm not sure it'll do the trick here for the same reason I can't provide full HTML - I have to enter content and code in the bespoke CMS operated by the client in a split WYSIWYG/code dialogue box and whatever is placed in here is evidently added to the code in the final page.
I think it's just a bridge too far for now, but thanks again for your suggestions

Sustainability Facts
Ever think about where your farmed seafood comes from? Buying farmed seafood grown in the United States is good for you and good for the country. From a seafood safety standpoint, the United States has some of the strictest environmental and food safety rules and regulations found anywhere in the world. Buying U.S.-grown farmed fish and shellfish guarantees that your seafood meets rigorous state and federal standards and supports American jobs.
Science Behind Seafood
Ever heard of the Pribilof Canyon? Maybe not, but this undersea canyon in the Bering Sea off Alaska is well known to scientists. With its high biodiversity, the canyon is home to a number of valuable fisheries like salmon, king crab, and Alaska pollock. There are concerns about the impacts of fishing on deep sea corals in the area and how that could threaten the health of this important ecosystem. NOAA Fisheries scientists and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council are working together to determine how to best protect this sensitive habitat to ensure a healthy future for the ecosystem.LEARN MORE...

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) - Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo spoke to the NBA on Thursday as the league investigates whether his role in a scuffle against the Brooklyn Nets will warrant a suspension.
Rondo told reporters after practice on Thursday: "I'm not a dirty player."
Rondo was ejected from the loss to Brooklyn after retaliating for a hard foul against Kevin Garnett with a two-handed shove on Nets forward Kris Humphries. A skirmish followed, and Rondo was kicked out of the game, along with Humphries and Brooklyn forward Gerald Wallace.
Rondo was suspended twice last season for losing his temper against the referees.
Coach Doc Rivers says he wants his players to show their toughness in more productive ways, like scoring and rebounding.

|Community Trunk or Treat ~ October 25
The third annual community Trunk or Treat is set for Friday, October 25 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. This family friendly event will take place in the Pendleton Co. Athletic Park. Come enjoy an evening of candy, costumes and community as you make your way through a collection of decorated car trunks and truck beds.
Why is this a great event? It's a safe, well-lit environment with plenty of parking for families with children from infants to pre-teens. Simply utilize the parking lots at each end of the park (avoid walking across US 27 for safety reasons) and begin trick or treating at the end of the park nearest McDonald's.
Trunk or Treat would love to have your church, club, team, business or organization join the fun. Simply bring your trunk and lots of treats. What adds to the fun is to decorate or "theme out" your trunk or truck bed. Be sure to be in the park and decorated by no later than 6:15 p.m. The kids love the themes almost as much as the candy! Some ideas are farmers, construction work, princesses, cartoon characters, storybook characters, Disney, fall décor, tractors, sports, Star Wars (or any movie theme), Candy Land, NASCAR, the possibilities are endless. Just use what you have and have fun! Plan to keep your vehicle in place until 8:30 p.m. when the evening concludes for everyone's safety.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Climb the normal Yee Haw route, then when you reach the ledge on the left, traverse out onto it. It is easier than it appears. Then follow up the finger crack to til it runs out then finish route on the top of Yee Haw. Crux would be getting started on the finger crack. It is a lot more thrilling due to the traverse and the smearing and finger crack.
Totally leadable. Same as Yee Haw, but add in pieces for a finger crack. Gets a PG13 rating for the traverse move on lead - if you were to fall, it would be a swing on your protection.

There is a lot of activity throughout the Premier League and Europe in general. Comment away on some of the goings on, including Hargo to City rumors and the late emergence of Arsenal to the transfer market.
United activity:
This will give everyone a forum to voice their opinions on potential transfers and a place to bring all the rumors that run rampant throughout the interwebs.
Definite needs/confirmed transfers:
* David de Gea- GK Atletico Madrid
* Phil Jones- CB/CM Blackburn Rovers
* Ashley Young- CF/LW/RW Aston Villa
Transfers out:
* Owen Hargreaves- CM
* Paul Scholes- CM
* Wes Brown- CB/RB
* John O'Shea- RB/CB/CM
Possible transfers out:
* Darren Gibson- CM
* Federico Macheda- ST
* Tomasz Kuszczak- GK* Mame Biram Diouf- Blackburn- ST
Returning from loan:
* Tom Cleverley- Wigan- CM
* Danny Welbeck- Sunderland- ST* Federico Macheda- Sampdoria- ST
Out on loan:
* Ritchie de Laet- Norwich City- CB
* Bebe- Besiktas- RW
Three young players to add to the attack makes it very likely that at least one of them moves on either on loan or as a transfer.
If there is a mistake up here or I forgot a player, please let me know and I will update it.

Robert Reich at the Aquarius - a must see
Original post made by Alice Schaffer Smith on Oct 9, 2013
Here is a trailer for the film: Web Link
on Oct 11, 2013 at 1:56 am
I had been waiting for this movie for months and say it on its first showing in Palo Alto at the Aquarius theater, and then again the next day.
YES! This movie was very good. It's hard to pack the sense of Robert Reich's writings over many years into a roughly 90 minute movie, but the story is mostly fashioned after the points made in his fairly recent book "Aftershock" and the newest "Beyond Outrage". Of particular interest were the comments of the CEO of the Pacific Coast Feather Company about the problem of inequality and why it stalls and undermines the economy ... a former Conservative. There is very little discussion of this movie, or the points it makes in the media, or one blog sites such as this one. It is a shame that more people do not understand some of the finer points about real economics.
I was so disappointed that this movie was not reviewed here, and am glad to see that at least someone else watched it and thought is was as good as I did, and important too. Thanks for mentioning it.

QE 3 is the only bullet the morons in the W.H. have. Dow down 512 points today. Not looking good.
The problem is that damage done is already factored into the market, SLW. Given that almost all indications are that the debt problem is going to get worse in the near term (and long term without drastic spending cuts), there really is nowhere to go but down. Obama & Co. have no jobs plan beyond spending more money that we don't have. The ONLY thing that will spur job growth is for the government to get the hell out of the way of business (i.e. remove the massive regulatory burdens). That is never going to happen so long as Obama is president and the Senate has a Dem majority.
I know that is a very cynical outlook, but if you examine the situation objectively, you will see that it is a very realistic outlook. We need a Marco Rubio to run for POTUS. I really wish he would."Our president delivered his State of the Union message to Congress. That is one of the things his contract calls for -- to tell congress the condition of the country. This message, as I say, is to Congress. The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the president has to tell 'em." ~ Will Rogers
The futures are also down..by 17 so far..:(

Mariano Rivera turns 42 today.
It's just a number.
Actually, it's his number. He's the last major leaguer to wear 42, which I think is a shame. Which would honor Jackie Robinson's number with greater effect? Consigning it to outfield walls? Or allowing great and dignified figures like Mariano Rivera to perform brilliantly on the field, as Robinson did?
Well, you know what I think. And it's all water over the dam. Rivera's going to be the last 42, and that's that.
According to Baseball-Reference.com, there have been only 25 relief pitchers in major-league history who pitched at least 20 innings in their Age 42 seasons.
Two of them -- two of the very best of them -- were knuckleballers: Hoyt Wilhelm and Dutch Leonard. Two of them pitched during World War II, when anyone with a pulse and a draft exemption was allowed to pitch. One of them was Satchel Paige.
What they haven't been is closers.
With just one exception: Dennis Eckersley.
In 1997, Eckersley's second season with the Cardinals -- but his 11th with Tony La Russa -- he racked up 36 saves. It wasn't a real good season otherwise, though. He blew seven saves, lost five games, and posted a 3.91 ERA.
Eckersley's the only 42-year-old modern closer. For a whole season, anyway. Trevor Hoffman was 42 in 2010 when he lost his job in May.
Mariano Rivera probably isn't going to lose his job in May.
See, Mariano Rivera has shown exactly zero sign of showing his age.
At 41, his walk rate was lower than his career walk rate.
At 41, his strikeout rate was higher than his career strikeout rate.
At 41, his strikeout-to-walk ratio was significantly higher than his career strikeout-to-walk ratio.
And while he doesn't throw quite as hard as he once did, the difference is small enough to be irrelevant.
There has been just one nod to Rivera's technical, numerical age: He's not throwing quite as often as he used to. When Joe Torre managed Rivera in his late 30s, he would throw 70-80 innings per season. Under Joe Girardi's yoke, Rivera's been throwing only 60 innings per season. He's throwing fewer innings in slightly fewer games.
Would Rivera have pitched just as well in 2011 if Torre were still running him out there 65 times per season, 70-some innings? We'll never know. I sort of think he would have. But it's hard to argue with the results.
We've never seen anyone like Mariano Rivera before. Because he's never been anything except brilliant, it's difficult to imagine him being anything less than brilliant.
It will happen someday. It's just impossible to say when.

The depleted Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver corps took another blow Saturday when head coach Bob Stoops announced sophomore wide receiver Kameel Jackson was dismissed from the team.
The dismissal marks the end of a tumultuous offseason for Jackson and the Sooners. Jackson was one of four players suspended indefinitely in May for a violation of team rules. On Twitter, Jackson said the suspension was due to his, "failure to meet my class attendance policy."
Following the suspension Jackson announced he was planning to transfer to Texas A&M although he later decided to stay at Oklahoma. Earlier this week, Stoops said he would review Jackson's suspension now that the receiver completed summer classes.
Jackson caught 12 passes for 165 yards during his freshman season. His dismissal is another blow for the Sooners wide receivers group which already lost incoming receiver Courtney Gardner last week.

Starting Monday, the Texas Capitol will again be the center of an ideological battle over abortion when lawmakers return to work at 10 a.m. Monday, July 1.
Hundreds of abortion rights activists ensured that the first special legislative session descended into chaos. Now, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has convened a second one and urged abortion opponents to respond with mobilizations of their own. The bell the clerk rings in the house for members to register their attendance could be reminiscent of a boxing match - announcing round two of a larger political slugfest. The legislature's republican majority has vowed to pass wide-ranging abortion restrictions. Opponents plan more protests. Perry has urged lawmakers to work faster this time. He wants abortion bills approved long before the deadline so a filibuster won't work.
The topic has sparked controversy and debate among political leaders and Texas residents across the state. NewsChannel 10 also asked its viewers to join in on the conversation. Here is some of the Facebook feedback NewsChannel 10 received Sunday.
Sue said, "The best thing that could happen anywhere. Texas does not need clinics that legally takes the lives of innocent, helpless children. This is a shame and a disgrace. People go to prison for the same offense as this if the child is alive. NO DIFFERENCE!"
Cheryl commented, "Adoption is always a choice. There are plenty of families out there wanting children that can't have them and girls/women just don't want to deal with any of it and just murder a baby. A human life!!"
But, not everyone agreed.
Gina posted, "Dumb....every woman has a right."
Pat said, "Once again, the party that purports to believe in LESS government regulation is forcing MORE government regulation on us."
NewsChannel 10 will continue to follow this story as the Senate is expected to vote on the bill for the second time sometime during the upcoming special session.

Are APIs Making the Biz Dev Role Obsolete?
The role of the business developer has traditionally been to initiate partnerships and follow through by ensuring some sort of integration is implemented. As enterprises become more software-driven, integration itself increasingly comes through APIs. This may mean that the implementation of API-driven "partner portals" is replacing traditional business development practices. A recent article from Wired claimed that 70% of all jobs will be replaced by robots by the end of this century. Are APIs and partner portals the robots that will replace manual business development processes?
Here's an example of how a business partnership might come about these days. Interaction with an online API partner portal will act as the initial "conversation" that leads to the partnership. If you want to integrate with Salesforce.com, you go to the Salesforce partner portal, figure out the relevant SDK/API, build an app and then submit it to the Salesforce AppExchange. You don't ever need to actually talk with anyone at Salesforce to become a business partner with the company.
Another example is the way many companies now enable access to their Web sites via Facebook Connect, Google+ Login or Twitter Login. This represents the first step towards establishing a business partnership with Facebook, Google or Twitter. It's not new in the Web world and has been discussed for years. What makes it relevant to this discussion is the way it's being applied to out-dated business processes and practices.
Great platform companies have realized this, "robotized" their business development processes and rationalized their business development teams. As robots are to manufacturing, APIs are to business development. Better technology means that we can focus our human resources on more valuable activities, since handshakes are now being made over OAuth instead of costly dinners and drinks.

One thing I have looked at towards the end of the season is what I have defined as the Scoring Chance Index (or SCI). In essence this is a take on a measure in Ice Hockey that has been coined as 'Neilson numbers' and a full background post on this can be found here.
The reason that I sought to look at this as an effective measure within football was the growing sense that possession and shots - the two universally accepted measures of a team's dominance within an individual match - do not necessarily paint the full picture.
I thought it worthwhile looking again at the Champions League final from last Saturday to see how the game broke down in this regard. We know that Bayern dominated the game in terms of shots (43-9), possession (56%-44%) and passing (87%-82%) but what I wanted to see was how this translated into 'true' scoring chances - and who were the key players.
Below are the tables showing the numbers and as we can see, Bayern overwhelmingly dominated in this regard. Arjen Robben in particular was involved in thirteen of Bayern's scoring chances (but, crucially, missing the key penalty that may have handed Bayern victory) and Frank Ribery and Contento enjoying success down the Bayern left. Goalscorer Thomas Muller was also involved in an offensive sense and it was telling that not only Bayern outfield player was involved in defending a scoring chance with Manuel Neuer making just the one defence when saving from Kalou:
Chelsea have received plenty of credit for successfully adhering to their gameplan; defending deep and restricting the opportunity for Bayern to create, but this was not necessarily the case. Whilst their approach meant Chelsea rarely got in position to create (evidenced by the lack of + scores from an offensive perspective), this did not have the effect of stymieing Bayern in any way and the credit Chelsea should receive out of their victory is not in stopping Bayern' ability to create but in the performances of Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Ashley Cole in stopping Bayern's ability to score.
