Jurors were shown graphic photos of the battered remains of Melisa Cleary Friday during the murder trial of her husband Daniel Cleary.
While the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy on Cleary gave testimony about her injuries... Daniel Cleary covered his eyes for over 20 minutes.
There was also testimony from a Tazewell County detective which seemed to contradict statements by Melisa Cleary's mother regarding where Daniel Cleary slept the night before her daughter's body was found.
Sergeant Hal Harper said Cleary told him he slept on the family's couch. But Cleary's mother-in-law, Jean Coon, told authorities Daniel Cleary told her-- he and his wife slept in the same bed.
The trial will continue next week.

Board of Directors Adopts Resolution Honoring Liz Rooks for Distinguished Years of Service
Board of Directors Adopts Resolution Honoring Liz Rooks for Distinguished Years of Service
- Liz Rooks recognized for her 20+ years of commitment, outstanding leadership and contributions
- The Research Triangle Foundation Board of Directors celebrated Liz Rook's service and honored the staff of the Foundation with an appreciation luncheon on Thursday, May 5 at the Research Triangle Park Headquarters
In recognition and profound appreciation for her 21 years of service, the Board of Directors recognized Liz Rooks for her outstanding contributions to the vitality of the Research Triangle Park today. Honorees of distinction have been traditionally awarded through resolution by the Board of Directors, for those who have had significant years of service and demonstrated outstanding contribution to the organization.
"Today's adopted resolution of her distinguished years of service is in appreciation for the tremendous infrastructure that has been built in the Park that she spearheaded over that period of time. More importantly, this celebrates the sense of community and purpose she engenders in all aspects of the Foundation's operations," said David Ward, Board Chair. "Liz is an institutional treasure who will continue to play an important role in shaping the Park's future."
Playing an active leadership role, Rooks has been instrumental in the success of the Board of Design, the Owners & Tenants Association, the Durham-Wake Service District and the Triangle Service Center to ensure that the Research Triangle Park remains a globally competitive place for R&D and a key driver in the dynamic Research Triangle region.
Additionally, Rooks has overseen some of the most important infrastructure projects within the Park for over two decades, including the construction of a lake that serves as storm-water retention and an amenity for companies in the southern part of the Park, the construction of the RTP Headquarter Campus, the way finding system, more than $39 million of road construction within the Park and other capital improvements that have created recreational amenities in the Park, including a vast network of jogging/pedestrian trails, softball fields and mountain biking trails.
Rooks is the interim CEO and President of the Research Triangle Foundation.

Massachusetts ranks among the best-performing states in the nation for many health indicators. Yet, when we examine the diverse groups that make up the state's population, we find that some groups, including racial and ethnic minorities and individuals with mental illness, experience far worse health than the overall Commonwealth average. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is committed to eliminating these disparities by creating policies and regulations that support healthy communities and by partnering with local communities to create healthier and safer environments for residents.
What Are We Measuring?
Through EHSResults, EOHHS evaluates its progress in this critical area by internally monitoring a number of measures. Examples include:
- Managing Asthma Effectively
- Preventing and Controlling Diabetes
- Managing Depression in the Commonwealth
- Examining Violent Crime in our Communities
Managing Asthma Effectively
Asthma control can be negatively affected by inadequate medical management and environmental factors, including indoor and outdoor air pollutants and allergens, such as mold, radon, particulate matter, and ozone, which are found in homes, schools, child care settings, workplaces, and the air in surrounding communities. When an asthma attack is severe, it can require increased levels of monitoring and care in a hospital setting. Trends in hospitalization over time can show if intervention and management strategies are having an impact on the burden of asthma. [1] Asthma can be controlled and asthma hospitalizations prevented through proper assessment and monitoring, patient education, pharmacologic treatment, and control of the environmental and other factors contributing to asthma severity.
How Are We Doing?
From 2004 through 2007, the Commonwealth-wide age-adjusted rate of hospitalization due to asthma remained stable. During the same period, Blacks and Hispanics consistently had the highest rates-in 2006, Blacks and Hispanics had rates of 33.7 and 32.1 per 10,000 residents, respectively, in comparison with the statewide rate of 14.5 per 10,000 residents.
Asthma hospitalizations are largely preventable. EOHHS has several efforts aimed at reducing the burden of asthma among Massachusetts residents. These efforts include the Asthma Prevention and Control Program (APCP) that helps improve asthma outcomes by expanding asthma surveillance, broadening Commonwealth-wide and regional asthma partnerships, and improving asthma management and control through evidence-based interventions. This program also improves the hospitalization rate of Blacks and Hispanics in targeted geographic regions. EOHHS also has multiple evidence-based efforts focused on addressing the clinical and environmental triggers that affect asthma-such as air quality, occupational hazards, and smoking-and on helping prevent asthma hospitalizations in Massachusetts.
Preventing and Controlling Diabetes
An estimated 24 million children and adults in the U.S. have type 2 diabetes. Complications associated with diabetes include heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, and nerve damage. Diabetes and its associated complications not only impact the lives of many individuals but also drive significant cost increases in the health care system. In 2007 alone, diabetes-related medical expenditures in the United States added up to an estimated $116 billion, which included $27 billion for diabetes care, $58 billion for chronic diabetes-related complications, and $31 billion for excess general medical costs.
Overall, diabetes prevalence based on self-reporting has increased from 5.6 percent in 2004 to 7.2 percent in 2008. This increase could be due to several factors: more people are at risk for type 2 diabetes because of the increased prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity; more people are getting screened and diagnosed with diabetes earlier; and people are receiving better care for their diabetes and are, therefore, living longer with the disease. As reflected in the graph, Blacks and Hispanics are at higher risk for developing diabetes.
There also are 57 million people in the United States with pre-diabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered diabetes. Weight loss and regular moderate physical activity can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes for individuals with pre-diabetes. The Massachusetts Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) tracks the prevalence of type 2 and pre-diabetes and how often people with diabetes receive the recommended care to prevent or treat diabetes-related complications. The DPCP works with health systems to implement changes to provide optimal care, has piloted several worksite-based initiatives for people with pre-diabetes, and provides free educational materials to Massachusetts residents and health care providers.
Managing Depression in the Commonwealth
There is a strong relationship between depression and obesity, diabetes, smoking, and unemployment. Massachusetts tracks the percentage of individuals who report having had more than 15 days where they felt sad, blue, or depressed as a proxy for depression. These data on depression assist the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and other EOHHS agencies in monitoring the mental health status of residents and in identifying population-specific interventions.
How Are We Doing?
In 2008, 6.7 percent of survey respondents indicated they had more than 15 days in the past month where they felt sad, blue, or depressed, indicating that depression continues to be a significant public health concern. To address this issue, DMH collaborates with EOHHS and community partners on activities to identify and prevent depression in Massachusetts. Examples include efforts to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness in young adults, education about depression, and suicide prevention activities.
Examining Violent Crime in our Communities
Individual and public safety is another component of a healthy community. When communities face high rates of crime, residents tend to avoid venturing outside to exercise or play. The stress of worrying about safety is also shown to lead to adverse health outcomes, such as heart disease and poor birth outcomes, [2] and the experience of violence has been shown to lead to negative health outcomes ranging from arthritis to heart disease and cancer. [3] EOHHS monitors the homicide rate in the Commonwealth, because it is an important indicator of violent crime and is a risk factor for community health.
How Are We Doing?
While the homicide rate for Massachusetts has stabilized in recent years, it has increased 45 percent since 2000. However, the Commonwealth still fares better than most of the United States-the Massachusetts homicide rate of 2.9 deaths per 100,000 people is 52 percent lower than the national homicide rate of 6.0 deaths per 100,000 people.
The Department of Public Health (DPH) youth violence prevention work is focused in high-risk communities across the Commonwealth, intentionally reaching adolescent boys and young men of color. DPH uses best practice approaches in promoting positive youth development and has developed a shared agenda for prioritization of this work with public safety, education, and labor and workforce development agencies.
Additionally, DPH is focusing its violence prevention efforts on targeted areas such as domestic violence and child abuse.

Early Translational I
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 093 500
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
This is a multidisciplinary translational research project with the aim of translating latest discoveries of the role of chemokine-receptor interactions in directing stem cell migration toward injury sites in the brain and heart for regenerative repairs into novel stem cell-based regenerative medicine. We have already identified promising experiment drug candidate that will be further developed through this project into new therapeutics for the treatment of heart diseases such as stroke as well as CNS and cardiac injuries. The underlying hypothesis for this proposal is that the homing of human neural stem cells (hNSCs) to, as well as engagement and interaction with, sites of the central nervous system (CNS) injury is essential for regenerative repair process and that synthetic molecules (drugs) with activity of promoting such stem cell homing and engagement will lead to new stem cell-based therapies for CNS injuries caused by heart diseases such as stroke. Here in this application we propose to apply our technology and expertise in synthetic chemistry and stem cell biology to generate highly potent and specific small molecule agents capable of triggering and directing stem cell homing to the CNS injury sites for regenerative repairs.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Injuries in the brain and heart affect many patients in California. As the disease model studied in this particular project is representative of heart disease (stroke) and many other brain diseases, information and development candidates obtained from this project will have wide implication in studying and treating a number of brain and heart diseases. This project will lead to the translation of our technologies into new therapeutic strategies for clinically repairing injuries in the brain and heart such as those caused by stroke.
Review Summary:
The goal of this effort is to develop small molecule therapies for repairing damage due to diseases or injuries affecting the central nervous system (CNS). To achieve these ends, the applicants will combine synthetic chemistry and molecular modeling approaches to design and optimize novel agonists for CXCR4, a chemokine receptor that has been implicated in promoting cell survival, proliferation, and migration. A series of specific aims have been devised to test the hypothesis that such agonists would be capable of triggering and directing neural stem cell (NSC) homing to CNS injury sites for regeneration. First, the applicants propose to synthesize and optimize current small molecule development candidates for activating CXCR4-mediated stem cell homing to neural injury sites. Next, the biological activity and therapeutic potential of these agonists will be evaluated in a series of in vitro assays and in vivo models of CNS injury. Finally, the applicants will subject the most promising leads to a panel of toxicological and pharmacokinetic analyses. Reviewers agreed that the proposed research addresses an important need and could have a potentially high impact on the field of neuroregenerative medicine. CXCR4, which is expressed on NSCs, represents a promising new route for therapy, and there are currently no drugs on the market that target this factor for selective activation. In general, reviewers were very impressed with the overall rationale of the proposed effort. Reviewers discussed a number of strengths and weaknesses in the experimental design, in terms of design and feasibility of the research plan. First, the heart of Aim 1 is based in classical drug discovery methods, the feasibility of which has been demonstrated repeatedly. Furthermore, the applicants presented robust preliminary data that indicated they are well positioned to succeed in this regard. Finally, the multidisciplinary expertise of the collaborating investigators appeared particularly well suited for a project of this nature. While confident that the investigators would identify agonists with appropriate activity, reviewers were uncertain that the therapeutic potential of these molecules would be realized. One particular concern was whether such molecules would be sufficiently stable and selective to be of practical use. Some reviewers felt that the applicants should have addressed this possibility by offering a more thorough characterization of the peptide moieties and how they could be modified for maximal utility. Other reviewers wondered whether the observed selectivity demonstrated by the leading candidate would be sufficient to prevent unwanted effects due to activation of CCR5, an alternative chemokine receptor that showed a small difference in affinity. One reviewer noted that an agonist of CXCR4 has been already been described, and this molecule could have been valuable for demonstrating proof of concept. Additional questions were raised about the proposed site of action for the development candidates. The practicality of delivering therapies directly to an infarct, as described in the proposal, seemed unreasonable in a clinical setting. Perhaps the most serious concerns were raised about the proposed animal methodologies, which are considered the backbone of this project. These experiments were poorly described and lacking in details, and it was unclear whether the appropriate expertise was in place to manage an analysis of this complexity. While the co-investigator offered a letter of support, there was no mention of the stroke model, thus raising concerns as to the extent of his/her involvement. As a final criticism, reviewers noted that the applicants failed to adequately discuss alternative routes for testing should the proposed animal models prove to be insufficient. In summary, reviewers felt that this effort represented an excellent concept, was of solid rationale, and could have a potentially high impact in the field of regenerative medicine. While much of the preliminary work was encouraging, it was not clear that resulting candidates would be viable in the clinic. Furthermore, the proposed preclinical validation studies were inadequately described. Finally, despite a strong multidisciplinary collaboration, reviewers were uncertain whether the project could be effectively managed.

Finals over, Dolphins focus on hardwood and Furman
Related Links
With the fall semester in the rearview mirror, the JU men's basketball team returns to action on Sunday when they travel to face Furman.
Tipoff is set for 4 p.m., with the game being broadcast on 1010XL with Terry Norvelle calling the action starting with the Bono's Barbecue Pregame Show at 3:45 p.m.
Jacksonville (2-5) is looking to shake its three-game losing streak against a Furman (4-4) team that has played well at home.
"This week our focus has been on final exams, so our guys are ready to get back to the court and focus on basketball," said JU head coach Cliff Warren.
Defense will be one of the points of emphasis in practice leading up to the game.
Jacksonville has seen its last three opponents hit better than 50 percent from the floor as all three scored at least 80 points. Another item of concern has been JU's effort on the boards as the Dolphins have won the rebounding battle just twice this season.
"We have to play better defense for us to be successful," Warren said. "We can't afford to give our opponents second chance opportunities like we have recently."
This is the 14th matchup between the programs, with JU holding a 7-6 edge in the all-time series. The last time the two teams met was on Jan. 18, 1977…Four Dolphins scored in double figures against UNF, with only five Dolphins scoring in the contest…Delwan Graham led the Dolphins with 16 points off the bench against UNF. He also had eight rebounds…Jacksonville had its worst shooting night of the year at UNF, hitting just 33.8 percent from the floor and just five 3-pointers…Through seven games, JU has lost the rebounding battle five times, including three of the last four games…Glenn Powell recorded his first double-double of the season with 14 points and 11 rebounds against UNF. It is the second double-double of his career.

I've heard about quite a few of Zac's crazy dreams in our two years of marriage, which is what we are celebrating tomorrow. Zac the Elephant Hunter is probably my favorite so far.
Just the thought of him in camo pants cracks me up.
If it were my dream, I'd probably try to find some hidden meaning in it so I would feel a little less insane.
Zac doesn't feel the need to defend his dreams, though. He just shares them with me so we can both have a big laugh.
I started today's column with this story because it reminds me of our relationship.
I can't explain our love. Zac and I are perfect for each other only because our being together makes no sense at all.
I had no intention of becoming Zac's wife when we dated the first time in the summer of 2004.
I was just hanging out with him and blowing off steam while I was waiting to start my freshman year of college.
We went to see "Shrek 2" for our first date. As Zac remembers it, we actually went as friends. Then he worked up the nerve to hold my hand and all bets were off.
That's why "Accidentally in Love," the opening song of "Shrek 2," was playing at our wedding as Zac and I walked off the ball field hand in hand.
It actually was an accident when we said "I love you" to each other for the first time.
One night I whispered "I really like you" in Zac's ear as he was giving me a good-bye hug. He heard something different and responded "I love you."
I then said "I love you too," more out of shock than sincerity.
I can't say if we really loved each other back then. If so, it was a naive kind that taught us how it felt to fall for another person but certainly wasn't strong enough to overcome the fault lines in our relationship.
However, when I thought about Zac during the four years we spent apart, our problems weren't what came to mind.
All I could remember were the sweet and simple moments from that summer with him when I felt most alive.
Like that Fourth of July night we spent talking and watching fireworks from the back of his truck. He asked me where I thought I'd be in five years. As it turned out, I was his wife.
The best thing that happened to the Zac and Jennifer of 2004 was that they broke up.
I drove to his house one day convinced that I didn't want him in my life anymore. When he opened the door, I wanted to hug him instead of hurt him.
I went through with it anyway. My warped teenage mind wanted him to beg me to stay. He let me walk away, so I did.
I've shared the rest of the story before.
We reconnected via e-mail during my senior year at UAB. Less than a week later, Miss Straight-A student ditched my first class ever and ran into Zac in the crosswalk on the way back to my car.
We got engaged two months later.
That was kind of an accident too. We were sitting in Zac's room talking about a future in which we were already husband and wife. Then Zac stopped and said, "Does this mean we're engaged, or do you want me to ask you first?"
Next came the seven words that changed our lives -- "Jennifer Marie Williams, will you marry me?"
It didn't matter that he didn't have a ring. All I cared about was the question, and all he wanted was my answer.
So I looked deep into the eyes of my first and only love and I said, "Yes."
I know two years of marriage isn't really that long, but Zac and I have had plenty of ups and downs already.
However, no storm whether personal or literal will ever make me go back on 'til death do us part.
Loving Zac is as easy as breathing. It's life that gets hard sometimes.
Luckily, I married a man who knows how to make me smile even on my worst day and can leave me speechless with his sweetness when I least expect it.
One night we were joking about something that I've already forgotten and I said to him, "Is that the kind of girl you want?"
"I want whatever kind of girl you want to be" was his honest reply.
On our second anniversary, Zac and I have become the couple in my new favorite song about love -- "We're dancing in the minefields. We're sailing in the storm. This is harder than we dreamed, but I believe that's what the promise is for."

Trying to model a track but i have it in more of a triangular orientation then an ovel like this sample picture. Any advice on how to pattern the tread and inner lug around any shape i desire? I have tried making an extrusion on one of the flat faces and then patterning it around but it keeps the lug in the same orientation and does not follow the contour nicely. Any advice for me
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can do rectangular pattern in part enviroment along choosen curve, and set orientation to direction1. This should work.
I hope that's what you're looking for.

See this document pg 16
Thank you for your replies! JDMather that does work to pattern around and i can get it to follow the contour i want but it leaves a gap between the "treads" as it is patterned around a curve. It does not keep tangent. Any solution to that?
Attach your ipt file here.
Hope this helps more
I don't see a pattern in the file you attached?
When I attach my solution the sketch for the tread will be on the XY plane.
The extrusion for the belt will initially be a surface body and then Thicken after the Pattern of the treads.
That is why im on this forum, It will not allow me to pattern and keep tangency, It just gives an error. The lugs i want to pattern are in the file though.
mklassen78 wrote:
.... It just gives an error.
Post screen shot of error.
I experimented with this one a bit more.
It is going to be a bit more work than I originally thought.
Because the tread cleats bend around the curves - my attempt would be with patterned-trimmed surfaces, thicken and trim again.

Easy handling – great features
The bernette London 3 makes threading your machine simple. The built-in threader of the bernette London 3 places the thread in exactly the right position. Simply operate the threader, and the thread is inserted through the eye of the needle. What's more, an automatic bobbin winder ensures that your bernette London 3 is ready for action in the blink of an eye. With less time spent on preparing your machine for sewing, you can start tackling the creative side of things sooner – so the fun starts with the threading. The bernette London 3 is proof that handy features needn't be an unaffordable luxury in entry-level sewing machines!
When thicker materials or several layers of fabric are to be sewn, space quickly becomes tight under the presser foot. Not so with the bernette London 3. Its two-level presser foot lift lets you raise the presser foot extra high, allowing several layers of denim or other heavy fabrics to be comfortably placed underneath. This means that the bernette London 3 lets you accomodate the space under the presser foot to whatever your needs happen to be.
The bobbin winder, thread tension dial, as well as the spool holder of the bernette London 3 are housed under a practical flip-top lid that protects them from dust. Not only does this preserve the stylish appearance of the machine – it also ensures that the bobbin winder, thread tension dial and spool holder remain in perfect condition. Thread tension adjustment via a dial and bobbin winding are a cinch. What's more, the stitch chart on the inside of the lid lets you see all of the bernette London 3's stitches at a glance. You have quick, easy access to all important features and information at all times.
Allowing you to set the needle up/down position manually, the bernette London 3's recessed handwheel lies flush with its housing – so it's easy to operate, but never in the way. This not only preserves the attractive closed blo:c design of your bernette London 3, but also effectively protects the handwheel from damage, and ensures that the machine can be stowed away in a space-saving manner. A small but effective detail that shows just how cleverly thought out the bernette London 3's design is, with the aim of making sewing even more convenient and hassle-free.
Finding the right stitch in an instant is no problem with the bernette London 3. A buttonhole stitch, two decorative stitches, a quilting stitch, a full seven stretch stitches and ten different practical stitches can be quickly and easily accessed via the pattern selector dial. Double needles can also be used with the bernette London 3. Together with the four presser feet that come as standard with this machine, there's quite a lot you can do with these stitches! Simply select the stitch you want on the dial and sew away. The number of the selected stitch will appear on the digital display on the front of the bernette London 3.
With BERNINA accessories, you're ideally equipped even for challenging sewing, quilting and embroidery projects – quality accessories for perfect creative endea...
BERNINA software opens up new horizons, letting you design with ease on your PC to create embroidery and quilt patterns of the highest quality standards – offer...

HoopsHype Mustafa Shakur rumors
Darnell Mayberry: The Thunder has signed Tulsa 66ers guard Mustafa Shakur to a 10-day contract. Shakur will be in uniform tonight against Dallas. Twitter @DarnellMayberry
As reported earlier today by ESPN's Marc Stein, but reported here at DleagueDigest.com first (that Fab Melo was entering the NBADL), here is the complete breakdown of a four-team deal that includes Fab Melo, Tyler Brown, Daniel Orton, Mustafa Shakur and Sean Singletary. Texas Legends get Fab Melo's NBADL rights (claimed by Maine). Maine Red Claws receive Tyler Brown (claimed by Texas), and Daniel Orton (from Tulsa). Tulsa 66ers get Mustafa Shakur (from Erie BayHawks). Erie BayHawks receive Sean Singletary (from Texas Legends). D-League Digest
The Erie BayHawks have started to build their 2013-14 roster prior to the start of Friday night's NBA Development League Draft. Four players from last year's squad will return to the BayHawks for Training Camp. They will be joined by two players the team acquired via the affiliate rule, which allows D-League teams to obtain the rights of players released by their parent clubs during NBA Training Camps. Returning to the team are guards Mustafa Shakur, Terrel Harris and Nick Covington as well as forward Terrence Jennings. Forwards C.J. Leslie and Justin Brownlee will join Erie following their releases from the New York Knicks. NBA.com
Novipiu Casale announced the signing of Mustafa Shakur for the season. The guard comes from Pau-Orthez, in French Pro A. Sportando
Pau-Orthez released Mustafa Shakur and Moustapha Diarra and fired coach Dobbels. Shakur is now set to sign in Italy with Novipiu Casale, who is in last position in Serie A. Sportando
Shakur's goal is to develop his entrepreneurial skills, a la Magic Johnson. His NBA future is far from guaranteed, given the looming lockout and his free-agent status. Contract or no, Shakur says Part of the Solution is something he will always put his all into. His vision is to make the event a one-stop shop where young people can come for mentoring, motivation, and rites-of-passage programs for future careers that probably won't have anything to do with basketball. Philadelphia Inquirer
Before the game, I informed Larry Owens and Othyus Jeffers that they were both named to the NBA Developmental League second team. Owens was happy to hear the news, but Jeffers responded by asking, "Second team?" Saunders gave the D-League all-stars an opportunity to close out the game with Seraphin, Yi and Mustafa Shakur. They were handed a three-point lead going into the fourth quarter, but were unable to hold on. Washington Post
Scott Schroeder: Wizards announce they've signed Mustafa Shakur for the rest of the season. With Jeff Adrien, 2nd RGV player signed for season in a week. Twitter
His agent, Leon Rose, called him to let him know that the Wizards planned to sign him last Friday. The Vipers were in Bismark, N.D., playing a back-to-back set against the Dakota Wizards, so Shakur had to hope on a plane and leave his basketball shoes and other equipment behind, since it was locked up in the arena. He got a pair of size 12 adidas shoes for his debut against the Boston Celtics, an appearance that his been overshadowed by his ridiculously bad jersey, which had been stitched together -- seemingly by hand -- only a few hours before the game. Nick Young joked that the jersey should be "retired." Shakur's uniform has since been put together properly, but he actually asked for the original. "I'm going to frame it and put a little story headline under it." When asked what the headline would read, Shakur said, "I don't know, what you do think it should read?" Someone said, "I'm just happy to be here." "There you go," Shakur said. Washington Post
How did you find out you'd been called up to the Wizards? Mustafa Shakur: My agent texted me. I was on the road in Dakota playing an away game, and after the game I saw I had a text. It said, "The Wizards called you up for a 10-day. You're outta here in the morning." Dime
His number, and last name, were stitched on at the last second by a Wizards employee. And while the stitching held up, it was clear the Wizards employee didn't exactly hold up the number placement to any sort of scrutiny, because the number "22" was a little down, and to the left. And with plenty of spacing between the two "2"s. The Washington Post's Michael Lee talked to Shakur after the game: So hastily was he added to the roster that it appeared his jersey wasn't quite ready either. Shakur wore No. 22, but the lettering and his name plate were clearly out of position. "I don't know. I think they tried to put my zip code on there," Shakur said, eliciting laughter throughout the locker room. "They, you know, messed it up a little bit." Yahoo! Sports
To mitigate the expected absence of Kirk Hinrich, who suffered a sprained right elbow late in Friday's loss to Phoenix, the Wizards have signed guard Mustafa Shakur from the NBA Development League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers to a 10-day contract. Washington Examiner
The Wizards appear to be making plans in case Kirk Hinrich is out for an extended period. Scott Schroeder of AOL Fanhouse is reporting that the team is calling up Mustafa Shakur from the D-League. Schroeder spoke Friday night with Shakur, who said that he expects to be in Washington in time for the Wizards' game on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. "Hopefully, if everything goes right with my flights, I'll get there and get situated and then be ready to play against the Celtics," Shakur said. Washington Post
A league source said that Shakur is "likely" to be signed to a 10-day contract. Shakur is a 6-foot-3 point guard who is averaging 16.7 points, 5.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals this season while making 48.8 percent of his field goal attempts for the D-Leagues's Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Wizards have been keeping tabs on Shakur for some time and considered signing him before bringing back Lester Hudson after the Gilbert Arenas trade. He participated last week in the D-League Showcase in Texas -- where Wizards vice president of basketball administration Tommy Sheppard was in attendance -- and earned second team honors. Washington Post
Mustafa Shakur, a 6-foot-3 point guard, is expected to be called up from the NBA D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers to the Washington Wizards for a 10-day contract, according to a source close to the situation. Shakur, in an interview with FanHouse on Friday night, said that he expected to be available to play in Washington's game Saturday night at home against the Boston Celtics. "Hopefully, if everything goes right with my flights, I'll get there and get situated and then be ready to play against the Celtics," Shakur told FanHouse. FanHouse.com
Some options include bringing back Hudson, signing free agent Jannero Pargo or Patrick Beverley, or plucking from the NBA Developmental League Mustafa Shakur or Kyle Weaver. But Wall is anxious to get back on the floor and assume his undisputed position within the team. "I've got to be the leader," Wall said. "I've got to get here early, I got to be the last one to leave. I've got to speak up, talk in huddles. They are gong to hold me accountable for more things. I'm going to accept the challenge." Washington Post

As our economy recovers from this recent recession, people have struggled to find work as there are so many other candidates competing for the same position. A person has to ask oneself, "How do I stand out?" This concept is something as a business educator that I constantly try to convey to our students. You can do well in school, get your degree, but that doesn't mean you are going to get the job. Getting involved in organizations, volunteering and continually working to improve your skills are all factors that can set an individual apart from the competition. This is the case not only from a prospective employee standpoint, but also for those who are already employed.
The NJC Business Club in conjunction with the Business Department is hosting a Business Day on Wednesday, March 6. There will be a variety of quality workshops, including one on being the type of person that your company will fight to keep. It will focus on specific principles and applications that you will be able to utilize immediately to become the type of employee that your company fights to keep. The program is also good for managers and business owners who want to instill these characteristics and attributes in their employees. Take advantage of this great opportunity to hear a dynamic speaker who travels internationally giving presentations to corporate America on this very topic. It is an event you won't want to miss. You will begin seeing advertisements for this event hitting the media starting next week. In the meantime, we encourage you to seek out additional details.
For more information on the NJC Business Day or to register for the event, go to njc.edu/businessday or call Sherrie Lichtenwalner at (970) 521-6637. Registration ends on March 1. Hope to see you there!
Amanda Kerker is a professor in the business department at NJC and is the sponsor of the NJC Business Club which was formerly known as SIFE.

CATEGORIES Movies'Akira,' the long-in-development live-action version of the landmark 1988 anime film and comic book, might finally have a star in Keanu Reeves.
He's been in talks with Warner Bros. to play gang leader Kaneda in the post-apocalyptic classic.
The studio has wooed a wide variety of actors, including James Franco, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Robert Pattinson and Michael Fassbender, an Anglo-centric list that has prompted protests from some fans.
Concerns about casting an Asian or Asian-American lead to stay true to the project's Japanese roots and setting might be assuaged with Reeves on board; the Hawaiian-born actor is part Chinese. (The same reasoning that makes it OK -- or not, depending on your point of view -- for Johnny Depp, who's got some Cherokee blood, to play Tonto in the upcoming 'Lone Ranger' film.)
Reeves' involvement might even pave the way for more actors of Asian descent. Of course, finding Asian-American actors who are "names" in Hollywood is still rare. Most established Asian action stars -- Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-Fat -- are far too old to be cast as teenage delinquents, but that's also true of Reeves, who is (believe it or not) 46.
Here's some obvious suggestions, Hollywood: 'Hawaii Five-O''s Daniel Dae Kim; 'Harold and Kumar''s John Cho; Rain of 'Ninja Assassin' and 'Speed Racer'; Jay Chou of 'The Green Hornet'; 'Heroes'' James Kyson-Lee; and 'Thor"s Tadanobu Asano.
Who would you cast in your dream live-action version of 'Akira'?

In a battle of heavyweight contenders, you expect some big punches to be thrown.
Top rated North Dakota State came out swinging when the Bison forced a fumble on Third ranked Youngstown States 31 yard line, on the Penguins first play from scrimmage.
NDSU capitalized when John Crockett ran in from one yard out to give the Bison a 7-0 lead.
It didn't take long for Youngstown State to counter punch and tie the score at 7-7 midway through the first.
Then, the Bison went to the big hitter, and their bag of tricks.
On NDSU's possetion, Crockett took the hand - pivitod - and tosseed it back to quarterback Brock Jensen, flea-flicker style. Jensen then found a wide open Zach Vraa for a 46 yard touchdown to put the Bison up 14-7 after the first quarter.
Round one goes to the Bison.
Marcus Williams threw the biggest punch of the night when he intercepted his 3rd pass of the season on the 2 yard line, then went untouched down the YSU sideline for a 98 yard return and an NDSU 21-7 lead. For Williams, it was his 14th career interception, putting him 2nd on NDSU's all time interception list.
Youngstown State started to stagger, and NDSU picked up some momentum.
Crockett, playing with an injured groin, rushed 40 yards on 6 carries, including his second one yard touchdown of the day.
And, the hits kept coming.
With 1:30 to go before the half, the Bison defense threw an uppercut when Carleton Littlejohn intercepted YSU quarterback Kurt Hess, setting up a Brock Jensen 16 yard rainbow touchdown pass to Ryan Smith, making it 35-7 Bison at halftime.
Second Round, all Bison.
Round 3
If you could throw in the towel in football, Youngstown State may have done just that.
But, instead, NDSU kept punching.
Adam Keller connected on a career long 49 yard field goal to open the scoring in the 2nd half pushing NDSU's lead to 38-7.
Then, it was Ryan Smith's turn to throw the haymaker. Smith caught a punt on the 24 yard line, then weaved his way back and forth before showing off his speed, returning it 76 yards for the 45-7 Bison lead.
Round 3 dominated by North Dakota State.
Round 4
With the opponents nearly laying on the Fargdome turf, it was time for the exclamation point.
And that exclamation point was simply a nod to the scoreboard. A 4th quarter field goal by Keller ended the missery for YSU. Final Score: NDSU 48, Youngstown 7.
4th Round, KO Bison. NDSU 5-0 (2-0 MVC).
Notes: NDSU sets a home attendance record with 19,065 in attendance.

He has little value, we don't tender him because we don't want him on this team and don't want to run the risk of him sticking around one more year.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
They could have traded him for a decent draft pick last year. I said to trade him and was called a "troll" for suggesting that. Too late now, but now everyone realizes that would have been a good move.

Why gaming's latest take on war is so offensive to Russians
Source Author
Colin Campbell
Source Site
The battle for history: Why Russians and developers argue over the accuracy of Company of Heroes 2
This is an amazing story by Colin Campbell, and it works on a number of levels. In fact, I've read it a few times to try to figure out what to think. The critics of Company of Heroes 2 don't seem to be claiming that the events shown in the game didn't happen, but instead that the developers unjustly focused on a very rigid view of war on the Eastern Front in World War 2.
War, and how we fight during war, does much to deteremine how we view ourselves culturally, and how others see us. The image we carry of the soldiers wearing our nation's flag is important, to the point that politicians argue for laws that legislate how that history can be shown to its own people. When our understanding of war is backed up against that of someone else, you get anger, resentment, and articles such as this.
I don't think there's a right or wrong side of this debate, but to have an opinion that means a damn you have to go back to the source material and look at the history behind these battles, that front, and the war in general.
Even primary documents can contradict themselves, and trying to piece together what happened in combat can be an impossible task. The value is in trying, however, and gaining as much of an understanding of history as possible. A video game is a good place to start, but it's likely to be a very limited place to end that journey.
