It is a fantastic day, as Rob and Riley finally get to discuss who Wake Forest will land now that Jeff Bzdelik is no longer the Deac's head coach.
Wake Forest lost to Miami today 69-56 on the road, wrapping up a 1-8 road record, and a 16-15 overall record this season. This article will serve as a recap, as well as a template for every other...
Rob and Riley are joined by their good friend Bart as they discuss the two losses on the road to Maryland and UNC. Have the Deacs quit on the season? When will Jeff Bzdelik be fired? What's next...
Well the week was a bust with losses to Syracuse and Georgia Tech. The Deacs are who we thought they were with an embarrassing loss to the Yellow Jackets. In better news, Wake continues to kill it...
What should a fan base do when they feel like they have been marginalized and neglected? Blogger So Dear explores the unenviable position that a majority of Wake Forest fans feel to be in right now.
Blogger So Dear has learned through multiple sources that sophomore shooting guard Chase Fischer plans to transfer from Wake Forest following the end of this year.
Growing frustrations with the athletic department and Jeff Bzdelik has produced some of the most productive efforts to convey to Ron Wellman how much Wake Forest athletics means to the fans.
Eagles. Deacons. Two 1-1 ACC teams enter, one 2-1 ACC team emerges. Wait, what?
Matt Gallaghe provides a counterpoint to Robert Reinhard's belief that "Jeff Bzdelik can lead Wake Forest to greatness."

Here's a key matchup to watch in the Week One meeting between the Patriots and Dolphins:
Dolphins C Mike Pouncey vs. Patriots DTs Albert Haynesworth and Vince Wilfork
This is an area in which the Patriots should have a serious advantage on Monday night - the interior line. Wilfork is one of the best in the business and had a stellar 2010 season. Haynesworth is starting his revival in the Pats' opener, and indications are that he should be a force.
"It's time for me, the sleeping giant, to awake and get back out there on the field and play football again," Haynesworth said this week.
That's not something you want to hear from the player you are about to face, especially if you're a rookie, like Pouncey.
The Dolphins needed to shore up their interior O-line play, which is why they drafted Pouncey in the first round, but the former Gator couldn't ask for a harder first test, as he will be the first center to face the new Patriots front featuring two Pro Bowlers.
Expect veteran OGs Richie Incognito and Vernon Carey to help Pouncey when they can, but that will just open up lanes for LB Jerod Mayo and set up one-on-one matchups for the Pats' defensive ends.
Everyone wants to see how the Haynesworth-Wilfork front performs, especially Haynesworth, who wasn't effective in Washington. Should the Pats consistently win this battle, as expected, it will cause a lot of problems for a Miami offense that struggled mightily last season.

Spacious PETCO outfield suits Padres
Friars expect healthy Edmonds to thrive in heavy air of SD
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Pitching and defense are the Padres' bread and butter, especially at spacious PETCO Park. It offers the sort of challenging outfield that seems tailor-made for eight-time Gold Glove Award winner and offseason acquisition Jim Edmonds.
But Padres manager Bud Black said there's a lot more at work than simply dimensions, which are normal to left-center and spacious to center and right-center.
Black noted that parks like Coors Field and Chase Field also have plenty of ground in center, but that environmental factors -- aridity in Phoenix and altitude in Denver -- cause the ball to carry. It's not quite so at PETCO Park, which has yielded fewer runs than any other Major League park since its inauguration.
"Because of the heavy air, some balls do hang up ... and they can be run down," Black said. "There's a little bit of a hedge there, because of the weather."
Catcher Josh Bard has witnessed as much from behind the plate. Offensively speaking, he said what works at other parks may not work in San Diego.
"I think you've got to hit the ball flat," Bard said. "When you hit the ball high in the air, you hit that marine layer."
That heavy moist air could work to the advantage of Edmonds, who is an expert at getting good jumps and tracking balls, but might not be quite as fast a runner as he once was.
Black said Sunday that Edmonds' calf is coming along, but that it will be a close call whether to put him on the Opening Day roster or the disabled list.
"We'll make a determination here in a couple days," Black said. "The calf is getting better."
Scott Hairston would start in center field, rather than left, if Edmonds is out March 31. Black noted that Hairston has center field experience in the Minor Leagues and that he has an average arm.
While Hairston isn't a prototypical center fielder like Edmonds or former Padre Mike Cameron, Black said Hairston played good defense in China and helps his cause by aggressively chasing after balls.
"That's underrated, for me, as far as skills go," Black said. "... If you charge the [heck] out of the ball, you're going to deter some baserunners."

Game 1 of the 2011 World Series is in the book and the St. Louis Cardinals hold a 1-0 advantage over the Texas Rangers. Playing at home with their ace, Chris Carpenter, on the mound, the Cardinals managed to squeak by the Rangers on Wednesday night, 3-2.
It was a low-scoring pitchers duel on Wednesday, with the Cardinals putting two on the board in the fourth, the Rangers answering half an inning later and St. Louis scoring the go-ahead, and game-winning, run in the bottom of the six. Once again, the St. Louis bullpen hung on, locking down the Rangers to preserve the win.
On Thursday, the Cardinals look to hold onto their home-field advantage with a win before the series heads to Texas for Game 3. Here's the quick information for Game 2.
Start time: 8:05 p.m. EDT
TV coverage: FOX
Projected starters and their postseason stats: Colby Lewis (2-2, 3.86 ERA) vs. Jaime Garcia (3-3, 5.74 ERA)
For more on the Texas Rangers, be sure to visit Lone Star Ball. If the St. Louis Cardinals are the team to root for, though, don't forget about Viva El Birdos. And, while waiting for the game to start, make sure to catch a special World Series edition of the MLB Power Rankings.

Last week's severe weather was gone in the blink of an eye -- yet it will take much longer for some to recover, including a local man forced from the house he rents. For Travis Bolden, it was a harrowing ordeal.
Earlier this year, Bolden participated in the Americacorps program, helping at J.J. Johnson school where he gets a lot of satisfaction helping kids with math. He also works as a D.J. and is known as "Chuckslugg" on the air.
But Thursday, his life literally came crashing down when a tree fell on the house he rents.
Chuckslugg and his 7-year-old son were in the tiny house he rents when the storm got really bad. They heard a loud boom and the next thing he knew, water was pouring in."The tree was like right outside the window, so when I came outside, I looked and the huge pecan tree had been uprooted from the ground and had fallen onto the house. So, at that point I tried not to panic," said Bolden. "I just tried to grab what was most important to me." Luckily, neither he or his son were injured but a lot of his stuff was lost including supplies he works with to tutor children in math.
"It kind of helped their scores go up over there so I'm kind of proud of that. Also, I have my own tutoring where I tutor kids here this year at my house, so I'm kind of worried about whether that's gone," said Bolden. Between the tutoring and various gigs as a radio D.J., he hopes to find a new place to live and start replacing what was lost.
"I know God's got my back. I just continue to pray and all my friends continue to pray. It doesn't bother my future. What God has for you, he has for you," said Bolden.
Chuckslugg said Lake Charles Mayor Randy Roach is his mentor and that they meet regularly. His goal is to one day help others as a community leader in Lake Charles. His friends have set up an account at Capital One for anyone who wants to make a donation to help Bolden recover. He said he had no renters' insurance.

The cruise was great.
Regarding: Celebrity Millennium. We did find most things a notch above Royal Caribbean. The ship interior was a bit nicer looking.
The ship gym and spa area, not as nice a Royal Caribbean.
The Officers on the ship were very visible and attended many event. So friendly.
The shows were great.
The food everywhere was very good. Speciality dining restaurant The Olympic was a "10".
Our waiter not so great. Efficient but didn't speak much, never learned our names.
Our room steward was "efficient" also but didn't really seem very warm. The cabin was excellent. We had plenty of room for storage and we were very happy with how much room there was in the bathroom. We had robes in our room. Our cabin steward, while not overly friendly was very efficient. Loved that one wall was full of mirrors and it made the room seem much larger. The layout was excellent and our balcony was just fine. We loved that our room was fairly close to the elevator, and there was no noise.
Boarding in Ensenada (after waiting 6 hours in San Diego) and then 90 minutes on the bus in Ensenada, and not having our luggage delivered until the next morning was terrible. We did get over it quickly the next day.
Our excursions - Atlantis Submarine, Catamaran Ride and Zip Line were all great.
Looking forward to sailing Celebrity again next year from Barcelona.

I have a dream that I don't really share with anyone because it's stupid and will never happen, but one day I would love to play in a celebrity pro-am golf tournament with Bill Murray. My dream used to be to make the Senior PGA so I don't have to worry about rotting in a nursing home hellhole, but I really suck at golf, so that dream was crushed like a beer can under one of John Daly's ass cheeks. Nevertheless, I play golf because I find peace and inspiration in it, and that's before I was even aware of amateur golfer Manuel de los Santos' existence.
A former prospect for the Toronto Blue Jays, de los Santos has been pursuing a career as a professional golfer for the last 9 years or so. But why on Earth would he give up a shot at Major League Baseball for the PGA?
"I was a baseball player and the first time I see the little ball on the floor, I didn't have anything in my mind to hit this ball," the Dominican Republic native said.
"I had to find a way to hit this ball. He was on the floor waiting for me. He do nothing and I had a problem. I only had one leg." (Via the Herald Sun)
Ah yes, one leg. It turns out that de los Santos lost his left leg in a motorcycle accident when he was just 18, thus ruining his once-promising baseball career. But instead of being a mopey crybaby about it, he did what any inspired, motivated athlete would do – he watched The Legend of Bagger Vance. Wait, what?
While recovering, he became inspired by watching the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance, about a golfer who defies adversity. The next morning, he asked to be taken to a driving range where he found a way to balance on his right leg to hit balls.
"I say OK, I try. It doesn't matter when you have only one leg. When life gives you a chance to make it in a sport, you forget your problem and you hit the ball," he said from his home in Paris.
I'll tell ya, between this dude and Oscar Pistorious, I'm going to have the hardest time ever thinking of an excuse for why I didn't go to the gym today. De los Santos' story has been told before, when he first caught some eyes back in 2009, but he's the kind of guy who should be talked about as much as possible. He has a 3 handicap and played at this week's Betstar Melbourne Golf Invitational Pro-Am in Australia, which also featured a golfer named Scott Laycock and I want to laugh about that, but I'm so focused on how much of a badass de los Santos is.
Check out Manuel de los Santos in action, and if you're anything like me, I guarantee you're going to try to swing a golf club while standing on one leg. Try not to do it, I dare you.

Dawson Community College hosts the Annual Shaping the Future Conference for educators April 12 and 13 in Toepke Center on the DCC campus. Keynote speakers Ben Atherton-Zeman and Dr. Lucy Hart Paulson will present. Shaping the Future Conference flyer/registration [4]
The morning session on April 12 runs from 8:30am-12pm with presenter Ben Atherton-Zeman. Zeman is a spokesperson for the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (www.nomas.org [5]) and is a public speaker on issues of violence prevention. He currently resides outside of Boston, in Maynard, Mass.
His presentation, "Voices of Men" has been performed in 44 states, Canada, China, England, Turkey, South Africa and the Czech Republic. Ben has spoken at military bases, colleges, high schools, public theatres, conferences, houses of worship and juvenile detention facilities.
For the past seventeen years, Ben has worked as a prevention educator for rape crisis centers, domestic violence programs, and state coalitions. He is an advisory board member for the White Ribbon Campaign in the United Kingdom. Ben identifies as a "recovering sexist" and believes every man must challenge violence and sexism in the world and in themselves.
The afternoon session on April 12 will be held from 1:15-4pm with a second skit by Ben entitled "The Jen & Steve Skit".
Learning Objectives: This multi-media play uses humor and celebrity male voice impressions to educate audiences about: sexual assault/consent; dating violence/domestic violence; stalking; and objectification. The humor brings these topics to audiences in a way that minimizes audience defensiveness, especially male defensiveness. The process each male character goes through has led many audience members, including boys and men, to become involved in both self-reflection and in violence prevention efforts.
The second session on April 13 runs from 8:30am-4pm with Dr. Lucy Hart Paulson. Paulson is a speech-language pathologist and literacy specialist with years of experience working with young children and their families in public school, Head Start, private, and university settings. She also has provided professional development and consultation across the United States and internationally in areas of early literacy and language development and social communication aspects of learning. Currently, she is on the faculty of the Communicative Sciences and Disorders Department at The University of Montana sharing responsibilities for teaching, supervising, research, and service.
Her presentation, "More than Words: Developing Social Communication Skills in Young Children" depicts social communication skills as vital to school and life success. There is compelling evidence that all children can benefit from direct instruction in specific social communication skills. This presentation describes the developmental sequences of social communication skills along with effective instructional methods that teach children expected behaviors and give them "words" they can use to interact in socially appropriate ways. Strategies that provide opportunities to model, reinforce, and re-teach these important skills will be described and practiced. Techniques will be provided that involve families, which makes the impact of learning these skills very powerful.
The 2 day event begins at 8am both days for those who have preregistered. The fee for this event is $25. College credit and renewal options are available for teachers. They include: 1 College Credit For Both Days, .5 College Credit For 1 Day, 6 hrs. Renewal Units For Friday, 6 hrs. Renewal Units For Saturday, or EC Training Hours (available both days). Lunch is on your own.
For more information call Brenda Stockert, 377-9463 or 1-800-821-8320.

Oh yes, I can hear the groans from a thousand Potterfans: "Nooo! Not another Snape essay! Enough already!" (This is leaving out those whose immediate thoughts were "Oh, is this a wizarding rock band that I haven't heard of?") I can merely say that I can understand this response completely, but bear with me. First of all, this is not a character analysis on the ex-Potions Master everyone loves to hate. This isn't even a "Whose side is Snape really on?" essay … at least, not quite. What I hope, though, is that this essay might create some new thoughts on both of the above-mentioned topics. I have been wondering lately, you see, if the relationship between Snape and the Malfoy family isn't a key to understanding him a little better, where motives and loyalties are concerned. For this reason I wish to do a thorough examination of Snape and his relationship with the Malfoys.
The Background of Snape and the Malfoy Family
The Malfoy family belongs to the increasingly shrinking pure-blood wizarding population. A look at the family tree given by J.K. Rowling1 shows the Malfoys connected with the Blacks, one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most prominent of wizarding families in Britain. But it is not their pure blood or their affluence that makes them infamous among the wizarding world – it is their cruelty. They are known to be ruthless, cold, backhanded, and bigoted.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid explains after Draco calls Hermione a Mudblood that "there are some wizards – like Malfoy's family – who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call pure-blood." 2 Draco's father, Lucius, has certainly passed his beliefs on to the next generation. We can see in his treatment of Dobby the house-elf how arrogant Lucius is, and how he looks down on Muggles and magical creatures as inferior. One example of this treatment can be found at the end of Chamber of Secrets: Lucius orders Dobby to follow him out of Dumbledore's office after a confrontation. "He wrenched open the door and as the elf came hurrying up to him, he kicked him right through it. They could hear Dobby squealing with pain all the way along the corridor." 3
In this we see a motive for, at least, Lucius Malfoy joining the Death Eaters: he thinks Voldemort has the right idea when it comes to Muggles and non-humans, and shares Voldemort's belief that pure-bloods should have the power in the wizarding world.
Snape's background, on the other hand, is less clear, though what we know of it is quite the opposite of the Malfoys'. We know that he is a half-blood: his father, Tobias Snape, was a Muggle and his mother, Eileen Prince, was a witch. He has always been infatuated with the Dark Arts. Harry learns from Percy, even at his first night at Hogwarts, that Snape "knows an awful lot about the Dark Arts." 4
Sirius confirms in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire that "Snape's always been fascinated by the Dark Arts, he was famous for it at school. […] Snape knew more curses when he arrived at school than half the kids in seventh year and he was part of a gang of Slytherins who nearly all turned out to be Death Eaters." 5
We learn here what may have been Snape's motive for joining the Death Eaters. Apart from the fact that he would be able to continue practising the Dark Arts with which he has always been so infatuated, he would enjoy respect that he never got at Hogwarts because his "field of expertise" is useful to Voldemort and makes Snape a trusted member of his organization. From the memories that Harry has witnessed it doesn't seem like he was very popular (to say the least),6 so having a place where he belonged and even was respected must have been very important to him, and having a powerful friend like Lucius on his side must have been a great bonus.
From what we have seen, their backgrounds seem very different, as do their motives for joining the Death Eaters. So, how did Snape and Lucius Malfoy meet in the first place?
According to the Harry Potter Lexicon, Lucius began at Hogwarts in 1965. Five years later, Snape arrived.7 This means that they were in Slytherin together for two years. When even Sirius – who didn't know Snape that well – knew that Snape was remarkably skilled in the Dark Arts, we can assume that a fellow Slytherin would also notice this. Although there is not much information in canon about their time at Hogwarts together, two years would have provided ample time for Lucius and Snape to have gotten acquainted and formed a strong connection.
Snape and the Malfoys – Paths Crossed
Already in Harry's very first Potion lesson we see that Snape favours Draco Malfoy, "whom he seemed to like." 8 Even this early in the series, Snape and Draco are mentioned together. It is not merely a case of Snape favouring his own house. During Harry's second year at Hogwarts, Dumbledore is suspended from his job after Lucius Malfoy bullies his fellow governors into signing the necessary paper. Draco asks Snape to apply for the job as a headmaster, saying: "I expect you'd have Father's vote, sir, if you wanted to apply for the job. I'll tell Father you're the best teacher here, sir …" 9
Again we have a connection between Snape and the Malfoy family. Draco expresses his certainty that Snape will have his father's vote, meaning that Lucius is aware of Snape's talents and believes that Snape would do well as headmaster. Draco's informal nomination of Snape, as well as a proposed vote from Lucius, express confidence in the Potions Master and imply a more intimate relationship than mere acquaintances.
During his fourth year, Harry accidentally visits Dumbledore's Pensieve and learns that Snape was once a Death Eater but is now, according to Dumbledore, a spy for the good side, at great personal risk.10 Later that same year, when Harry is involuntarily transported to Voldemort and his Death Eaters, he finds that Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater as well. Also, a very interesting thing concerning Snape and Lucius Malfoy is how Snape reacts when Harry tells Fudge that Malfoy is a Death Eater: " 'I saw the Death Eaters! I can give you their names! Lucius Malfoy –' Snape made a sudden movement, but as Harry looked at him, Snape's eyes flew back to Fudge." 11
What could this sudden reaction mean? Surely, as he was once a Death Eater himself, he cannot be surprised by the fact that Harry names Malfoy as one, and certainly, he cannot be surprised that Malfoy was there with the rest of the Death Eaters. No, he is no doubt aware of the fact that Lucius most likely was present at the graveyard. This sudden move, then, was defensive. He shows concern for his old friend by making a move to possibly defend Lucius or make Harry be quiet, but seems to realize that he shouldn't in present company.
Another thing that has been pointed at is Sirius's remark to Snape when they argue in Grimmauld Place:
"Tell me, how is Lucius Malfoy these days? I expect he's delighted that his lapdog's working at Hogwarts, isn't he?"
"Speaking of dogs," said Snape softly, "did you know that Lucius Malfoy recognised you last time you risked a little jaunt outside?" 12
Snape's reply clearly indicates that he does indeed have regular contact with Lucius Malfoy. It is curious to note that Sirius believes Snape works for Lord Voldemort, yet does not mention him here. Instead, Sirius is clearly implying that he believes Snape works for Lucius just as much as he works for Voldemort. And later in the book, Professor Umbridge makes another curious remark. When Snape says he cannot give her Veritaserum to interrogate Harry after he has tried to contact Sirius from her fireplace, she says to Snape: "You are being deliberately unhelpful! I expected better, Lucius Malfoy always speaks most highly of you!"13
Next we get some inside information from Narcissa Malfoy as she visits Snape in the beginning of book six: "you are, you have always been, Draco's favourite teacher ... you are Lucius's old friend." 14 In this scene we see that Snape and Narcissa are on first name basis, which suggests a close acquaintance and friendship. As Lucius's old friend then, or for some motive only known to himself, Snape agrees to make the Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa, using his own life as collateral. Just to refresh our memories, here are the three promises Snape makes to Narcissa:
1. To watch over Draco as he attempts to fulfil the Dark Lord's wishes,
2. To the best of his ability, to protect Draco from harm,
3. To carry out Draco's ordered deed, should he fail.15
One can speculate why Snape would agree to make such a vow. He certainly makes the Malfoys indebted to him for life, and removes any doubt Bella might have about his loyalty. What I actually find even more interesting is the fact that Narcissa asks him to take that vow. It's obvious that she doesn't do it to test him; she already feels that she can trust him. She clearly feels that he is the only one that can help her now, and, she also clearly feels that they are close enough for her to ask him such a big favour.
Another scene of insight is when Harry overhears (er … eavesdrops on) the conversation Snape and Draco have during Slughorn's Christmas party.16 Here we see that Snape consistently addresses Draco Malfoy as "Draco," even though this is a situation where he must be highly frustrated with him. In fact, it is almost as though he is talking to a younger family member of his. Honestly, this might be the most sincere the readers have ever seen Snape. He is utterly worried. Is he worried about Draco, or is it just concern for himself because the Unbreakable Vow binds him with his life? Given the evidence already presented, it is easy to see that he is obviously concerned for his friend, and his friend's son. Snape appears to be a lonely, solitary person in the series and the Malfoy family is actually the only evidence we have of a long-standing bond of friendship. Given that the Malfoys may be his only close friends, he would have all the more reason to be worried about their son fulfilling a task that Voldemort himself has been unable to do. Snape would obviously be worried about himself as well, because his life is explicitly tied to Draco's. Draco, however, staunchly refuses to accept his help and even Harry is astonished to hear how he talks to professor Snape. After the task (if you can call killing the greatest wizard there is a "task") Snape and Draco flee together from Hogwarts and once again, the fate of Snape and the Malfoy family seems intertwined.
Given the evidence, it is obvious that Snape and the Malfoys retain a close relationship that goes beyond their common link to the Death Eaters. Even though it is not specifically stated how they became friends years ago, it is evident that they still maintain this friendship. So, what can we infer about Snape's loyalties, considering his relationship with the Malfoys? Does this evidence about his friendship with the Malfoy family prove that Snape is working for the Death Eaters? Certainly not, though it may be easier for them to keep in touch if he were. He appears to communicate frequently with Lucius, and the two seem to rely on each other to some extent and seem to be well informed of each other's activities. Could Snape, then, be using his ties with the Malfoys to do work for the Order? Odds are against that, as it never seems to be Snape that brings up his relationship with Lucius, deliberately keeping the Order in the dark on his status with the Malfoys. What, then, does this evidence prove? It proves that Snape cares deeply for the Malfoy family, going as far as offering his help by way of an Unbreakable Vow. What can we learn from this about Snape's loyalties, then? It says that, no matter what side he is on, one thing is clear: Snape is very loyal to his friends.
What is even more important, I think, is how all of this will play out in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. My final knut here is this: As a friend of Lucius', Snape would certainly feel an obligation to Lucius' wife and child and will most likely help them in Lucius' stead. If he truly wanted to help them, he would do what he could to remove them from the Death Eaters' circle. I wouldn't be surprised if Draco and Narcissa will steer over to the good side, with Snape serving as both a connection to the Order for help, and protection from Voldemort's wrath. He will remain loyal, first and foremost, to his friends.

Former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was in central Wisconsin to sign copies of her new book.
Walmart in Rib Mountain hosted the event. It started at 10:00 a.m. and was scheduled to run until noon.
Walmart officials tell Newsline 9 the store was out of books less than an hour into Palin's visit. A store manager says between 700 and 1,100 people showed up.
Palin came to the Wausau area because of a recent Christmas music controversy in the Wausau School District. The district had proposed limiting the number of religious songs at school holiday concerts. After a public backlash, the district reversed course and made no changes.
On her Facebook page Wednesday, Palin wrote that once she heard about the controversy, "I knew we had to visit the community of Wausau, WI, to encourage the good citizens there to keep up the good fight!"
Palin is on a nationwide tour promoting her new book "Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas." Palin calls for bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season. She laments the over-commercialization and homogenization of Christmas in today's society.
Newsline 9 was allowed into Walmart to observe Palin signing books for about 10 minutes. After that, all the media were escorted out of the store.
We caught up with a few of her fans after the book signing.
"I couldn't pass on the opportunity with her this close. So it was worth burning a little personal time and taking off work to come see such a heroine," said Linda Miller of Milladore.
"I believe everything she stands for, I believe she's such a beautiful person inside and out and we need Christ in Christmas," said Sharon Yach of Wausau.
But Palin is a polarizing figure. Many others stayed away from her event.
"I seriously wouldn't walk across the street to see her. I probably would walk across the street to avoid her," said David Stachovak of Wausau.
"She doesn't have any brains and she's just telling people what they want to hear," said Mike Vincelli of Wausau.
Newsline 9 also asked multiple times for an opportunity to interview Palin. Each time, our request was denied.
Palin met with State Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Hazelhurst) before the event. She also met with Pat McKee, the Wausau School Board member who has been outspoken about the district's music controversy and the superintendent's handling of it.
At 11:25 a.m. Palin tweeted, "Listening to the beautiful Wausau West High School Christmas CD at our book signing right now."
The Wausau West choir was at the center of the music controversy. The school's master singers program temporarily disbanded while the district considered the limits on religious music.

Growth not only involves length and weight of a body, but also includes internal growth and development. A child's brain will grow the most during the first five years of life, reaching 90 percent of its final size. Growth also affects different parts of the body at different rates; the head reaches almost its entire size by age 1. Throughout childhood, a child's body becomes more proportional to other parts of his or her body. Growth is complete between the ages of 16 and 18, at which time the growing ends of bones fuse.
Listed in the directory below, you will find additional information regarding growth at different ages and stages of a child's life, for which we have provided a brief overview.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria police continuing to investigate a body found today in Peoria's Warehouse district.
The Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll believes the body is that of At-Large Peoria City Councilman Gary Sandberg, but says further testing needs to be done for positive identification.
Peoria Police were called to 1213 Southwest Adams Street around 2:15 Friday afternoon.
That is the residence of Councilman Gary Sandberg.
Coroner Ingersoll said one of Sandberg's friends found the body.
At this time, police still aren't saying much.
"The only thing I can say is that we are conducting a death investigation," said Peoria Police Lt. Willie King. "It's a male, there is no confirmation on who he is yet."
The Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll did confirm that the body was found on the second story of the building.
As of Friday afternoon, she said she does believe it is the body of Gary Sandberg, but said it is so badly decomposed they will have to do further testing for positive identification.
There is no word on how long the body was in the apartment or a cause of death.
Peoria City officials released a statement saying in part, "The body had not been positively identified nor had the next of kin been contacted. It is the city's policy to refrain from comment on identities in such situations until both are accomplished."
First District Councilwoman Denise Moore most recently defeated Sandberg in a heated race for the first district seat. She said she is shocked by the news.
"We are holding off that small hope that it is not him," said Moore. "But whoever it is our hearts have to go out to whomever this is because there is a loss of life."
Moore said her thoughts and prayers are with Sandberg's two children and says if in the fact, the body is identified as Sandberg there will be a large void around the city council horseshoe.
"Gary was always an encyclopedia of information. You'd bring up a topic and he could almost site chapter and verse where it came, when it came up, who brought it up and that's going to be a big loss," said Moore.
Sandberg is the longest seated City Councilmember. He was elected in 1989.
An autopsy will be performed Saturday afternoon. Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said she expects identification of the body will be made at that time.

Coastal Connection goes on site to see the wells drilled for a geothermal heating and cooling retrofit.
Mini-split heat pumps were a major topic at the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) BuildingEnergy 14 conference in Boston this year. Ted Cushman explains why and how these mini-splits shine in cold climates.
Q: A customer wants me to install one of the new heat-pump water heaters in the ground-floor utility room of a house built on a slab. I don't have any direct experience with them, but since they work by drawing heat from the surrounding air, won't any energy savings in the winter be at least partly...
Climatemaster. The Tranquility 22 Digital series geothermal system has one of the smallest footprints in the industry, making it ideal for retrofit projects or installation in tight spaces, the company says.
GeoStar. The Cypress Series geothermal system provides forced-air heating and cooling and hydronic heating for radiant floors and features a desuperheater option for supplemental hot water.
Free underground heat

The Minnesota Vikings have not been favorites very often lately, but when it happens, they seldom cover the spread.
So despite their surprising spot atop the NFC North, bettors are nervous laying points when they host the Tennessee Titans at the Metrodome. Minnesota is a 5.5-point home favorite at most sportsbooks tracked by OddsShark.com.
Follow @sbnation | Like SB Nation on Facebook | Subscribe to SB Nation YouTube
"The Vikes are just 1-7 ATS the past eight times in this position, but the betting public seems to have warmed to the idea of backing them," said Scott Winstone of Top Bet.
"It could also prove to be a letdown spot after two big upset wins."
After winning just three games over the entire 2011 season, the Vikings have already matched that total here in 2012 with a surprising 3-1 SU (2-2 ATS) start. Minnesota stunned the football world with a 24-13 upset win at home over San Francisco in Week 3, and followed that up with another upset on the road against the Detroit Lions 20-13 last week.
Christian Ponder is making the necessary plays at quarterback, and the defense is playing very well.
No team has done less on defense this season than the Tennessee Titans. Off to an ugly 1-3 start both SU and ATS, the Titans have allowed 37.8 points per game through their first four games, allowing no less than 34 points in any of them.
With Jake Locker out with a shoulder injury, Matt Hasselbeck will take over quarterback duties for the Titans this Sunday.
Hasselbeck is a solid backup, and the offense shouldn't take too big of a step backwards with him in instead of Locker. But does it really matter who is in under center if the defense continues to play this badly?
On the other hand, Tennessee has gone up against four tough offenses in New England, San Diego, Detroit and Houston; maybe Minnesota's less explosive offense (averaging 22.5 points per game will help).
Both of these teams have ugly recent ATS stats as Tennessee is 1-7 ATS over its last eight games and Minnesota is 4-7-1 ATS over its last 12 games. Tennessee could keep this one close with a big day from Chris Johnson, who finally had a big day rushing for 141 yards in last week's loss.
But Minnesota's defense has been strong all season, and the Titans just haven't shown enough on either side of the ball to feel confident in their side.
PICK: Minnesota -5.5

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Some Illinois students made a pledge on Thusday that they hope others will follow and help save lives.
Members of the ag group Illinois FFA are teaming up with the Farm Bureau and AT&T for the "It Can Wait Campaign."
The campaign warns teenagers about the dangers of texting while driving. Students from around the state went online to take the pledge to ensure safe driving.
"I'm a senior in high school and I want to go to college and graduate from college. I want a good job and just have a bright future, taking this pledge will hopefully guarantee that I do not get in an accident," said Meghan Fitzgerald of Downs.
"I think it's a great campaign and it has good values. I think it can save lives and not only of the people that do text and drive but also bystanders out on the road" said August Schetter of Southern Illinois.
Campaign officials said so far more than 2.5 million people have taken the pledge to not text while driving.

Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs thinks another reason was inside linebacker Ray Lewis' retirement announcement four days prior to the team's first playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Suggs was then quite candid when asked if the Ravens would have won the Super Bowl if Lewis hadn't announced his intention.
"No, probably not," he said. "Because as a team, we know we're really good – we needed something to get us over the hump. To do what we had to do – to beat the future in [the Colts'] Andrew Luck, to go into [Denver with] Peyton Manning having an MVP season and going there and winning, and then going up to Foxborough a place where we lost the previous year against arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of our time – without that emotional lift it probably would have been next to impossible. With the lead of No. 52, we had enough to do it."
Lewis finished with a league-best 51 tackles in the postseason, but he struggled to cover receivers in the team's 34-31 win against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. But it seems that Lewis' presence was more important psychologically than physically to the Ravens.

Using "free" icons from third party websites
I have used icons from various sites that says they are free for commercial projects. This includes sites like iconspedia where anyone can upload stuff.
I am very cautious and whenever I use one I take a screenshot of the entire website including its URL and the license. I do the same with free photography from sxc, etc.
It occurred to me when obtaining graphics in this manner, just because something claims to be free on a website does not make it so. If I used a free graphic that turned out to be under a more restrictive license, what position would I be in legally?
Am I being paranoid? I must say, I've been in the game for years and have never known anyone get accused of anything like thisand they're way less careful then I am.

If you (i) can show that you used the images in good faith, having a good reason to believe that you were allowed to use them, and (ii) remove the images as soon as you are given evidence that shows you may not use them then it would be hard for them to build a case against you, especially if you can give them the details of the site that is promoting their images for free, that's a bigger fish for them to fry!
But that is speaking as a layman with no legal training...

ROUND 2 - B.J. Penn comes out strong, but over commits with his strikes and is taken down. Without taking too much damage Penn stands and continues to defend the takedown. Nice elbow from Penn cuts Fitch. The fighters separate and Penn takes Fitch down again and takes his back again. Hand fighting again he misses and Fitch reverses position in Penn's guard. Fitch's corner is frantically screaming instructions as blood pours from Fitch's nose. Decent ground and pound Jon Fitch but little to no positional advancement. Penn gets back to his feet.
SB Nation scores this round 10-9 Penn.
Round two of the main event from UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch.

My research has two streams. The first stream focuses on how buyers and suppliers in a supply chain learn, and how this learning can depreciate. The second stream looks at how firms can benefit from better raw materials sourcing and new manufacturing techniques for producing these raw materials, including Nanomachining. My research methodologies comprise econometric analysis of primary data, simulation, and game theoretic modeling.

Promising future for Rossendale School's Chinese link (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Promising future for Rossendale School's Chinese link
7:00pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
A Rossendale school is bidding to forge fresh links with China after successfully hosting 10 headteachers from the Nanking area.
Alder Grange headteacher David Hampson was so encouraged by the cultural exchange, with his counterparts from Jiangsu province, that he is now looking to create a formal partnership with a Chinese school, from which staff and students will benefit.
Ten tutors from Nanking were invited to the Rawt-enstall school through Suman Education Intern- ational, so they could observe western teaching methods.
They watched a maths lessons in progress and later had lunch with sixth form students, alongside Mr Hampson.
He said: "We were approached by Suman to host a visit at the school to show the headteachers how a school like ours operates within the education system in Britain, and how elements of this can be adopted back in their province.
"The feedback from our visitors was very positive, and they seemed very impressed by our students and the facilities.
"We're now hoping that we can strengthen the links with China in the hope of creating a partner school for Alder Grange where both students and staff can take part in exchange programmes."
It is not the only one in the valley which has been forging links with the Near East as part of their curriculum.
Julie Duffell, assistant head at Fearns Community College, started Chinese language classes in late 2010, with an opportunity for students to became pen pals with students over there.

5th Annual Stefan S. Fajans Lecture in Diabetes, 2013-14
and U-M Internal Medicine Grand Rounds Lecture
Phillip Gorden, M.D.
Stefan S. Fajans, M.D.
Friday, October 18, 2013
Noon-1:00 pm
Ford Amphitheater, 2nd floor
U-M Hospital
1500 E. Medical Center Drive

"Syndromic Insulin Resistance: Models for the
Therapeutic Basis of Metabolic Disease"
Phillip Gorden, M.D.
Director Emeritus and Senior Investigator
National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease
National Institutes of Health
This annual lecture in honor of Dr. Stefan S. Fajans, sponsored by the University of Michigan Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology & Diabetes, recognizes a renowned diabetes investigator and/or physician who has made significant contributions to the field.
The 2013-14 Stefan S. Fajans Lecture in Diabetes will be given by Phillip Gorden, M.D., Director Emeritus and Senior Investigator of the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease at the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Phillip Gorden received his BA degree from Vanderbilt University, and an MD degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He then spent 5 years in medical residency, and completed an endocrine and metabolism fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine. In 1966, he came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as a clinical investigator. His early studies include the heterogeneity of polypeptide hormones, including the pro-insulin-like components of plasma, and clinical descriptions of diseases of extreme insulin resistance; particularly as related to the insulin receptor. From 1976 to 1978 he was a visiting professor in the laboratory of Lelio Orci, MD in Geneva, Switzerland, and collaborated extensively with Jean-Louis Carpentier, MD on receptor mediated endocytosis of polypeptide hormones.
Following his return to the NIH, he served as a major branch chief, and as clinical director of the National Institute of Diabetes Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). During his tenure as director of NIDDK from 1986-1999, a number of major clinical trials were accomplished. These include the Diabetes Control and Complication Trial (DCCT), and its epidemiological follow-up (EDIC), as well as the diabetes prevention trial in Type 1 diabetes (DPT) and the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), which demonstrated a mechanism to prevent Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Gorden's tenure as NIDDK director also coincided with the doubling of the NIH budget, which included a marked increase in NIDDK resources and the special appropriations for Type 1 Diabetes research of 150 million dollars per year.
In 1999 Dr. Gorden returned full time to the intramural program of NIDDK, where he is focused on developing therapeutic strategies for the extreme forms of insulin resistance, such as lipodystrophy and autoantibodies to the insulin receptor. He has received a number of national and international awards, including lectureships and honorary degrees, and has published over 370 scientific papers.

An inquiry into the legal recognition of transgender and intersex members of the ACT community will form the second referral to the Law Reform Advisory Council, Attorney General Simon Corbell said today.
Mr Corbell asked the Council for detailed advice on whether any changes to the Territory's current law are needed to ensure the protection of human rights. The ACT places a strong level of importance on the human rights of all community members, and this latest reference to the LRAC will investigate if there are any gaps in the legal rights of transexual and intersex people in the ACT,
Mr Corbell said.
Information about the Council's inquiry, including the terms of reference, will be available shortly online at www.justice.act.gov.au/
