CCVI Heritage Profiles
Each Friday Dick McCracken, advancement researcher, will highlight an outstanding CCVI in celebration of the university's heritage. If you have any feedback or ideas, please contact Dick at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sister Joseph Marie Armer, CCVI, Professor Emerita of Biology In the late 1920's Annie Armer, a young Baptist woman came to teach at Incarnate Word College from the University of Texas with the ink on her biology PhD still wet. In a short period of time she became a convert, entered the Congregation, became Sister Joseph Marie and taught undergraduate and graduate students non-stop until her retirement.
Eventually recognized as Piper Professor of Texas for Teaching Excellence, Sister Joseph Marie had a dedication to the advancement of science teaching at all levels and established the still running Alamo Regional Science Fair for high school students. Her lectures and labs made biology exciting for majors and non majors alike, and no one knows how many students she motivated into advanced degrees and careers in medicine and research. As the years went by her vision deteriorated, but it was hard to notice.
She continued on with some assistance. In fact, though nearly blind, she was invited to apply for the deanship of a medical school in California, an honor she humbly declined. With glasses as thick as soda bottles she made her way to the Science Hall daily and learned to recognize her students, and graduates, by sound if not by sight.
She was also a born story teller and entertained her fellow nuns with animated and even costumed tales of Biblical stories she heard preached in the churches of her youth. Even after retiring from full time teaching she continued to spend hours with students as an advisor in campus ministry. Well into her 90's Sister could recognize the voice of a former student before any introduction, and amazed them with her knowledge of what they had accomplished.
This is part of our heritage. Making a difference

Jenkins has been fined $7,875 for pushing Pierre Garcon to the ground well after the Washington receiver crossed the goal line on a 59-yard touchdown last week.||||||| The former first-round pick has seen limited playing time as the third cornerback behind Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne. He figures to be on the field more with nickel cornerback Orlando Scandrick injured. Jenkins missed training camp and the season opener after offseason shoulder surgery, and complained about not getting a new contract. He's in the final year of his rookie deal.
When asked of his chances of playing in the opener, Jenkins said he didn't know.||||||| Jenkins passed his physical last week and was eligible to return to practice Saturday. But he missed that day because of migraine headaches. The former Pro Bowler missed all offseason work and training camp because of reconstructive shoulder surgery after last season.
Jenkins still hasn't been cleared to practice with his surgically repaired right shoulder.||||||| Coach Jason Garrett said Tuesday that Jenkins will continue his rehab and then see Dr. James Andrews for another checkup in "a couple more weeks."

Even though he was at the minicamp, he was unable to do much because of the injury. Jenkins is going into the final year of his contract after the Cowboys added two prominent cornerbacks this offseason - free agent Brandon Carr and LSU All-American cornerback Morris Claiborne with the sixth overall draft pick.
Jenkins has returned to practice after leaving practice Wednesday with a knee injury.||||||| Jenkins warmed up with the full squad and appeared to be fine.

After this tragedy, schools in our area are reflecting on their own safety measure, and taking steps to help students cope.
Wausau School officials, parents, and students all say they're heartbroken over this tragedy. Wausau district leaders say events like this help point out that tragedy can happen anywhere, and that's why it's so important to make sure they're prepared.
"It's tragic, just a terrible situation," Director of Pupil Services Jeff Lindell said. "Parents send their kids to school and hope that they are safe and then one person can end that safety in a heartbeat."
After the news of the horrific school shooting in Connecticut, Wausau school leaders say they were shocked.
"You don't expect it to happen in any place and our community is no different," Lindell said.
That's why school officials say they have safety procedures in place to try to prevent events like this from ever happening.
"Helps you realize it can happen anywhere, at any time," Lindell said.
Officials say they hold mock training sessions with parents, students and the police department on a regular basis. School leaders say every school has a specific safety plan implemented, and students and staff review that plan regularly.
"You just want to be prepared, you want faculty to be prepared and know how to react so should something occur you don't have to think about what it is you need to do to best keep kids safe in that type of situation," Lindell explained.
And they hope that type of situation never happens here at home.
The news of the tragedy also probed another question, do school officials tell students? In Wausau, teachers did not inform children of the incident.
"Kids might have questions and concerns but you want to be age appropriate," Lindell said.
That's why, he says, school counselors and trained staff are available for anyone who may need it.
"It's just a different world," Lindell said.

The Loj
Loj overview
To find out how to actually go about using the Loj, please see the How the Loj Works page.
Owned by the Tufts University and run by the Tufts Mountain Club, the Loj serves as a retreat destination for all members of the Tufts community. Many students use the Loj as a base camp from which they enjoy a wealth of activities including hiking, skiing, swimming, rock climbing, apple picking, etc., but the Loj is also a place to just relax and get to know new people.
The Loj is located in Woodstock, New Hampshire, about 2 hours North of Tufts University's Medford Campus up I-93. Close by is Franconia Notch State park and the Pemigwasset River. We are fortunate to have such a beautiful place in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountain Region.
Only a quick drive down the road is Lincoln, New Hampshire where you can find a movie theater, supermarket, plenty of places to eat and go shopping. In the other direction and only a few minutes away is Mirror Lake—a beautiful small lake with public beach.
For students who are not familiar with the this area of New Hampshire, there is a binder at the Loj which students and past visitors of the Loj have filled with information about all sorts of trips and activities which are easily accessible from the Loj. The binder has everything you need to know about these trips such as trail lengths, peak elevations, maps, directions, any fees associated with use, levels of difficulty and much more.
There are about 26 bunks and plenty of floor space and extra mattresses. There is a full size kitchen and refrigerator which any guests are allowed to use at their convenience. Other features include an outdoor fire circle, two large full bathrooms, a large common room with a wood stove, 3 bunk rooms (and a swanky trips cabin), and a library with oodles of books and board games. There is also plenty of outdoor gear accessible free of charge to any guest of the Loj. Some of the gear we have includes canoes, XC skis and boots of all sizes, snowshoes, and more!
In addition to the gear, the Loj also has a large supply of food. The majority of the food is non-perishable items such as canned soup, pasta, cereal, pancake mix etc., but the caretakers usually buy fresh items before they arrive on Friday. This food is available to everyone.

Metro School Board Chair Cheryl Mayes was not in a talkative mood Friday afternoon after she left a high stakes meeting at the office of Tennessee Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman.
When the school board chair was asked if she would like to say anything about the meeting over the loss of $3.4 M in state funds, Mayes replied, "No thank you."
Later, she released a statement that said, "We appreciate Commissioner Kevin Huffman's willingness to sit down in a spirit of concern for Nashville's students. It was a good meeting based on our mutual commitment to improving student outcomes. We have no change in status at this time. We will continue to talk with the State."
She and Commissioner Huffman met for about an hour in what was believed to be a one on one meeting between the two.
Huffman's staff said he would be making no comment on the meeting.
Mayes requested the meeting Wednesday after Commissioner Huffman said he was withholding state education money because of the Metro School Board's "failure to follow the law."
Huffman says he assessed the penalty because the Metro School Board twice refused to approve the controversial charter school called Great Hearts Academies.
The school board chair said in her letter to the education commissioner that she wanted to "revisit" this matter and "avert" the state's action.
A slim majority of the board members feel Great Hearts did not have a proper diversity plan.
The charter school has maintained its diversity plan not only "mirrors" Metro's, but is actually better.

Roughly 450 LISD students are headed to Pasadena to perform in the Rose Parade this week, but two students are already on their way back home.
LISD spokesperson Nancy Sharp said, "Two students were sent home on Wednesday, at their parents' expense, for violating trip rules while the band was traveling to California. All of the almost 500 students on the trip are aware that there are severe consequences for breaking trip rules and that is exactly what happened. The trip continued without incident."
LISD has not confirmed the specific nature of the rules violation.
The LISD marching bands will be performing at 10 a.m. Lubbock time on Monday, Jan. 2. You can watch the event live on KCBD NewsChannel 11.

After Uther died, there was an interesting transition within the characters as Arthur put family over friends," Morgan recalls. "That was a difficult transition for Merlin to overcome. One of the key elements in the finale is Arthur seeing his uncle for who he is, and positively reflecting on Merlin's valued friendship. Arthur always knew Merlin was a good friend and a trusted guy, but to realize he's loyally been there the entire time is a big revelation for Arthur and certainly paves the way for where we're going in Season Five.
More to come later, but as promised here are a couple of photos of the knights from yesterday at the Birmingham Expo!

I have some thoughts I just have to get out there...
Recently, a friend posted a youtube video of Pastor Mark Driscoll and his feelings about the book The Shack, a fictional story about a man and his struggles to deal with a horrible event in his life.
I don't know if any of you have read the book or not, but my parents gave it to me one time when I visited them and I read most of it in one night. It was truly a good read. I loved the descriptions, the meaning behind them, and the story line. It was difficult to read at times, because there were some very hard scenes. I cried my eyes out several times. But it was beautifully written.
What bugged me about the video, and Mr. Driscoll's feelings about the book was this: He condemned it based on the authors descriptions of "God" and some of the statements about the Trinity. I almost wonder if he forgot that this book was a work of fiction, rather than a theological textbook. He even goes on to claim it is a work of heresy. Ok then Mr. Driscoll, let's get the pitchforks and torches and burning pole out of the storage unit. While you are at it, we should probably drag CS Lewis and Tolkien along too, and anyone else who has used fiction and descriptions to try and convey Christ and His Nature. (Please note the sarcasm.)
Honestly, I get so annoyed with people. SERIOUSLY. I get upset when rather than being a Church, a bride to Him, they want to sit fireside and argue and divide. It makes me so angry. I know I shouldn't get angry about it, but it frustrates me that people would rather fight, than love. It makes me angry that instead of showing people God's Love, they wish to throw daggers of judgement. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't God say judge not lest you be judged? Didn't Paul chastise those who argued and divided from each other over petty arguments and opinions? Didn't Jesus seriously piss off those (The Pharisees and Sadducees) who personally judged others and held lofty opinions on HIS WORDS, the Scriptures?
I'll sit here and admit, this is one of the reasons I haven't been to "church" in some time now. Not that all churches are like this, because there are many, many churches that aren't. It is because I have a very difficult time sitting there and not saying something when judgement starts from someone. I'm pretty sure that some of my churchy friends think I have left my faith, but just the opposite is true. I've embraced it all the more. I do not believe that my lack of attendance reflects a loss of faith in God. Perhaps a loss of faith in people, but not in God. The Church is His people who love and serve Him, not a building with a cross on it.
We all judge, and we all have opinions, it is simply human nature. Perhaps though, we should learn to keep our judgments to ourselves, and refer them to The Judge, instead of spewing them at others, and possibly reflecting not God's will, but our own feelings?
I have friends who have been so badly hurt and disenchanted with Jesus/God/Christianity by other Christians who felt the need to judge, that I don't know if I will ever be able to show enough of God's Love and His forgiving character to show them that God is not like those who tried and failed to represent Him. It breaks my heart, and makes me angry. And you know, I need to work on my judgement of those who judged too. None of us are perfect, least of all me. I just hurt for those who have lost faith or refuse to have faith because of the poison that has been spewed on them by those who felt they were entitled to judge.

I loved reading "The Shack" it was a great read for me other than a few tough parts. I'm with you on the church deal, I have been battered and abused by a few churches and it's members, and I still have faith in my God and I do not need a building to enter to find myself in that good place of grace and happiness.ReplyDelete

Huge bill for divers after taking from shipwrecks in The Solent
Updated 3:45pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in News © Press Association
Two divers have been ordered to pay a total of £63,500 in fines and costs for salvaging items on an ''industrial scale'' from shipwrecks in The Solent, including First World War submarines, according to the Marine and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
David Knight and Edward Huzzey, both from Sandgate, Kent, had previously pleaded guilty to 19 offences between them, contrary to section 236 and section 237 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, in relation to the items taken which were worth more than £250,000.

- City sea celebration kicks off in style

- Cruise ship cancels voyages
- Man rescued while sailing to America in dinghy
- Yachtsman killed after getting caught in strong winds
- New look unveiled for major cruise ship
- Cruise ship makes first-ever call to port
Knight was fined £7,000 and Huzzey £6,500 at Southampton Magistrates' Court and they were each ordered to pay £25,000 in costs in what the MCA is calling a ''landmark case''.
An MCA spokesman said: ''Items were taken from shipwrecks off the Kent coast, with the first known objects removed in 2001.
''The shipwrecks targeted included German submarines from the First World War and an unknown 200-year-old wreck carrying English East India Company cargo.
''The items included eight bronze cannons, three propellers from German submarines, lead and tin ingots, along with various other artefacts. It's thought the combined value of the items is more than £250,000.
''The MCA is aware from diary entries that Knight and Huzzey used explosives and sophisticated cutting equipment to free wreck material.
''It's believed that six of the cannons had been sold on, but in the last fortnight they have been returned to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).''
District Judge Anthony Calloway, said: ''The scale of the operation has to be considered to have been on an industrial scale: the resources employed were valuable and substantial, using good quality lifting equipment and explosives.
''Huzzey and Knight are friends and clearly operated in close co-operation to actively scavenge for material from the wrecks they explored.''
Alison Kentuck, the MCA's receiver of wreck, said: ''It is not a case of 'finders keepers'. Our message is clear: all wreck material found within or brought within UK territorial waters must be reported to the receiver of wreck.
''Finders of wreck have 28 days to declare their finds to the Receiver. This case demonstrates what could happen to you if you don't. By reporting wreck material you are giving the rightful owner the opportunity to have their property returned and you may be adding important information to the historic record.
''Legitimate finders are likely to be entitled to a salvage award, but those who don't declare items are breaking the law and could find themselves, just like with this case, facing hefty fines.''
English Heritage has provided expert advice in relation to uncontrolled salvage on submerged archaeological remains and on the handling of the seized artefacts.
Mark Harrison, English Heritage's national policing and crime adviser, said: ''The sentence today sets an important precedent in the fight against uncontrolled salvage by a small criminal minority who have no appreciation for our national maritime heritage.
''Sophisticated techniques and equipment were used by these men to remove valuable artefacts from the seabed.''
Mark Dunkley, English Heritage's maritime archaeologist said: ''English Heritage takes very seriously all cases of heritage crime which robs us of our shared history. However, we recognise that the majority of divers do act responsibly and comply with the laws and regulations relating to historic wreck sites and salvage.''

So if they had pled guilty they would have saved the £50k legal fees and been fined a total of £13500 for stealing a quarter of a million quids worth of stuff.
Nice work!

Fasting for Immigration Reform
By Maha Sayed
Legal Fellow
On Thursday evening, immigration advocates will end their fast in support of immigration reform. Since November 12, a group of faith, immigrant rights and labor leaders participated in the �Fast for Families� on the National Mall, a grassroots campaign designed to pressure House Republicans to take an immediate vote on a comprehensive immigration reform bill. H.R. 15, the companion House bill to the Senate immigration reform bill that passed in June, would tighten border security and provide a path to citizenship for the 11.5 million undocumented immigrants currently working and living in the U.S. Although Speaker John Boehner previously insisted that the House will not consider the comprehensive Senate bill, the wave of solidarity fasts, events and rallies across the nation further emphasizes the importance of immigration reform to the American electorate.

An Update on Secure Communities in California
Almost a year ago, California Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the TRUST Act (Transparency and Responsibility Using State Tools Act), a bill widely considered the first serious challenge to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency�s Secure Communities program. Secure Communities mandates that all individuals arrested (not convicted) of a crime be screened for immigration status. The 2012 TRUST Act would have prevented California law enforcement agents from detaining suspected illegal immigrants and handing them over to federal authorities unless those individuals were suspected of committing a serious or violent crime.

I was browsing Yahoo! sports news since it was a slow day at work and I saw an article titled " Pryor looks to build on truncated rookie season". I decided to give it a read and I felt bad for the guy after this
''I didn't know anything last year, nothing at all,'' Pryor said. ''I knew some of the stuff going into games and stuff like that but not like starting from Day 1 here right now when the new coaches came in. On the other hand, I came in last year at the end of camp and everything was already put in. I couldn't ask the coach, the offensive coordinator. We didn't even have a quarterbacks coach so I couldn't even learn anything from that standpoint.''
We all know that and have read that part before. Its after that when he started talking about his relationship with Al I started to wonder "Am I really that old or does Pryor not really know much about the Raiders past"?
The Raiders used a third-round pick on Aug. 22 to select Pryor and signed him three days later, making him the final player every drafted by late owner Al Davis.
Pryor said Davis would call him a couple of times a week before his death last October, reminding Pryor that he believed in him. While Pryor is currently battling Matt Leinart for the job backing up Carson Palmer, he hopes to one day prove Davis right.
''The last pick may not mean anything,'' he said. ''But to me, you know, it kind of felt like last pick of a guy that made a legacy of football. He was just a well-known guy. Being the last pick, that's special, just in that sense, just how his name is always brought up. He's on HBO shows now after his death. It's just an honor.''
Maybe Pryor isnt old enough to know that Al is more than just " a well known guy" or "someone that his name is always brought up" or even "on HBO shows"
To me Al is and will always be the face of the Raiders. For Pryor to get calls from Al a couple times a week showed that Al knew that he was something special and that that he was one of his boys. You want to be on Al's good side just ask Marcus Allen.
Being Al's final pick is huge whether he understands the significance of it or not. This is where he proves if he is content with being a career third string QB or if he is the next Raider great and proves if Al's instincts were right on his final pick.
Maybe im just overreacting but what do you think Raider Nation?

FHSU launches new virtual campus tour
Fort Hays State University recently launched a virtual campus tour and interactive campus and city maps providing information to prospective students, parents, alumni, community members and FHSU employees.
"From the admissions standpoint, it's a good way for prospective students to see campus life at FHSU," said Tricia Cline, director of admissions and project leader. "It's also a fantastic way for virtual students to interact and feel connected to the university."
The theme-based tour is broken into various aspects of student experience at FHSU, including academics, student life, athletics and student pride, hands-on learning and internationalization, among others. Students, faculty and alumni share the FHSU story through short videos on each of these themes as well as a substantial number of testimonial videos by students and faculty.
CampusTours builds video tours, photorealistic interactive campus maps, mobile walking tours and custom data-driven multimedia applications for higher education, non-profit and government clients worldwide. With more than 200 completed presentations, CampusTours has developed a reputation for institutional storytelling through creative and compelling multimedia.
The tour can be seen at tour.fhsu.edu or access it from the university home page at www.fhsu.edu.

Effingham Daily News
PIPERPON, Tenn. —
Laura Lynn Hotchkiss, age 48, passed away peacefully at home on Jan. 3, 2013.
Visitation was held Monday at the Collierville Funeral Home, Collierville, Tenn. A memorial service was held at Tuesday at Central Church, Collierville. For those that knew and loved her, we ask that donations be made to the local humane society in her name in lieu of flowers so she can continue to care for animals as she always had a penchant to do. Her funeral will be held at 11 a.m. today, Jan. 12, at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepard, Des Moines, Iowa. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. at the church. Internment will take place in Avon Cemetery.
Born Feb. 29, 1964, to Gerald and Dianne Peck in Des Moines, Iowa, she has parted this world after celebrating only 12 birthdays, having been born on a leap day - entirely too few for such a lovely and loving woman. She shared a penchant for gag gifts and toys with her late grandmother, Lillian Schumacher, which would put a smile on anyone's face.
Having initially given up her college education to raise her children she proudly graduated with an ADN in May 2008 and was a licensed registered nurse. Throughout her life, she had the opportunity to share her love with a multitude of people. As anyone who knew her will say, such sweet and earnest souls are rare to come across, and she will be remembered as such by her loving husband, children, grandchildren and many friends.
Laurie is survived by her husband, Anthony "Tony" Hotchkiss; daughter and son-in-law, Amber and Derek Gordon and their daughter, Payten Lynn; son, Aric Hotchkiss; parents, Gerald and Diane Peck; as well as a grandfather; brother; and sister; and many loved cousins; nephews; and nieces.

I get the feeling the CW's new show THE L.A. COMPLEX is going to get canceled soon if its ratings are any indication. Who would have thunk that a show about pretty young people trying to make it in Hollywood would not make it on the CW? Go figure. Anyways, until such time as THE L.A. COMPLEX leaves our airwaves, here are some spiffy character posters.
Full of new relationships, salacious temptations and make-it-or-break it decisions, the series coming-of-age dwellers grapple with life's defining moments as they deal with the unreality of the show-biz industry.
Starring Jonathan Patrick Moore, Joe Dinicol, Chelan Simmons, Jewel Staite, Cassie Steele, Benjamin Charles Watson, Kristopher Turner, and Jordan Johnson-Hinds.

SAN DIEGO (CNS/CBS 8) - A big rig collided with a small sedan on Interstate 805 early Tuesday, injuring one person and snarling traffic during the morning commute, authorities said.
The crash on northbound I-805 at Bonita/E Street was reported at 3:46 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol, which issued a SigAlert.
Two lanes of the freeway were blocked due to the collision, Caltrans officials said.
At about 10:30 a.m., guardrail repairs were complete and all lanes were re-opened on NB I-805 at Bonita/E St., according to Caltrans.
Paramedics took one patient to Scripps Hospital, a dispatcher for the Chula Vista Fire Department said.
Scattered showers continued to fall around San Diego County early Tuesday but were expected to taper off Tuesday afternoon, meteorologists said.
A cold low-pressure system from the north doused the county Monday and brought strong winds to the mountains and deserts, according to the National Weather Service. A high-wind warning for mountain and desert locales remained in effect until 8 a.m.
Monday's rainfall wrecked havoc on local roadways. According to the CHP, there were 191 accidents from 12:01 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. Monday and more than half of those occurred between 6 a.m. and noon. On a normal "good weather" day, the CHP handles an average of 50 to 75 crashes.
A high-pressure zone was expected to begin building in the area Wednesday, bringing higher temperatures that will prevail into the weekend, according to the NWS.

The following is an excerpt from a recent ESPN Insider written by Fran Fraschilla that aims to assign players to draft positions by best "fit". Here's what he wrote regarding the Raptors:
"No. 8: Toronto Raptors
Jared Sullinger, Ohio State Buckeyes
The Raptors could certainly use help at a number of spots, but I like them rebuilding their team with a front line that includes high-character Ohio State star Sullinger and 2011 first-round selection Jonas Valanciunas, the 6-11 Lithuanian 20-year-old who spent the past season playing in Europe.
Sullinger may not have the elite athleticism you'd want out of an NBA power forward, but he has always thrived on his toughness around the basket, his outstanding fundamentals and great basketball acumen. He drew an average of 6.1 fouls per 40 minutes this season and shoots a shade under 70 percent from the foul line. In a league full of undersized forwards, he'll get opponents in foul trouble.
Valanciunas, who dominated the Under-19 world championships last summer and who played well this season in EuroCup play, has some toughness of his own. His length and defensive potential at center will complement Sullinger's scoring and rebounding potential as well.
The two 20-year olds won't make the Raptors a playoff team, but it is a good start."
I've stated this multiple times in a few different comments sections so felt good to have it validated. The potential pairing of Jonas and Sully is tantalizing. If Jonas' early success translates to the NBA, I think he and Sully could eventually become a special front court. Both are good defenders in their own right with the opportunity to be special. On the defensive side of the ball, the ability to pair a solid if not spectacular post defender like Sullinger with a shot blocking big who has the reported elite quickness to rotate and help should have fans salivating. On the offensive side of the court, Sullinger's dominant low post game and soft touch would be complimented well by Jonas' ability to run the pick and roll, dive to the bucket an finish. Both have the potential and mechanics to be good mid-range jump shooters as well.
From a personality/leadership perspective these guys are - according to all reports - terrific young men. Jonas seems to be a very tenacious young man who just plain battles. Sullinger was a true leader of his Buckeye's squad this past season and all indications are has innate leadership qualities that should persist in the NBA. In terms of "motors" these guys are Rolls and Royce.
I know Sullinger is not the "sexy" pick. His game is what it is. While he's not a "potential guy", he's a "proven, demonstrated abilities guy". His skill set (post-offense, defence, rebounding, leadership) are all competencies that have traditionally translated well from the NCAA to the NBA. I truly think staying an extra year in college and allowing scouts to nitpick his game and focus on his perceived deficiencies has led to a discounting of Sullinger's true value.
Now, despite all this, the latest rumours have the Raptors pursuing guards almost exclusively in their draft efforts (Lillard, Lamb, Waiters, Ross – via Chad Ford). Most of which are arguably a reach for being drafted that high. This reeks of drafting by position to me and that reeks of drafting anyone other than a Power Forward as to protect Bargnani. If Sullinger is selected, the addition of Sully and Jonas could allow the Raptors to trade both Amir Johnson and Bargnani for either more picks or other prospects (young talent) to address other positions (i.e. wing/PG). However, that would necessitate a GM that is committed to a proper rebuild (and not the pursuit of his next contract) and able to think rationally regarding his team.
For me the potential of pairing a better offensively equipped Joakim Noah (Jonas) with a Kevin Love/Zack Randolf type Power Forward's Power Forward (Sully) is too much to pass up.

As we know Autism is one of the commonest developmental disorders. Studies of large groups of children show that around 1 in 100 children is affected by autism, compared to 1 in 500 affected by cerebral palsy, 1 in 3,000 affected by cystic fibrosis and 1 in 4,000 affected by juvenile diabetes. Around 6,000 children receive a diagnosis of autism a year compared to an annual average of 1,300 diagnoses of childhood cancer including around 360 of childhood leukemia. The total no. is estimated to be around 46,000,000 people on the autistic spectrum worldwide.
"As Autism patients are diagnosed each year requires a stem cells transplant, Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplant gives a new hope of ray " says Mr. Karan Goel, Chairman, Stem Cell Global Foundation.
Recently in end of Nov. 2009 patient Amit suffering from AUTISM got treatment using Bone Marrow stem cells by SCGF center and after getting the treatment he is finding a great improvement and shown a positive result. The improved rate is 88.3% after getting the first shot and patient says "The use of stem cells proved to be blessing and is very promising in treating patients suffering from incurable disease like AUTISM. God bless these life affirming cures"
SCGF'S CENTER had done 1000's of Bone Marrow transplants for treating patients suffering from incurable diseases and is having experiences and you see improvements after stem cell treatment and the Success Rate is 90% after over treatment. Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy provides amazing capability in treating the underlying causes of incurable diseases.
Now SCGF in collaboration with German center is bringing this promising technology in India by setting up new Stem cell Centers in New Delhi and then working with all the Metro cities for providing Stem Cell Treatment to all the needy patients as the World market size for stem cell therapy is projected to increase from an estimated $30 billion (Rs 1, 44,000 crore) in 2008 to $96 billion (Rs 4,60,800 crore) by 2015, And current size of India's stem cell preservation market is about 16,000 units per annum and it's growing at a rapid pace. The growth rate has been approximately 35-50 percent per year.
"As global stem cells market is seen to have such a big projection in the coming years we don't want to leave behind in providing Stem Cell Therapy and Cord blood transplants to the needy ones giving smiles on their faces" says, Mr. Karan Goel, Chairman, Stem Cell Global Foundation
SCGF is having networking globally providing stem cell solutions all over the world and now SCGF is entering into providing the treatment to patients with cord blood stem cells as India is the biggest source of Cord Blood Stem Cells with 25 Million birth registers and Global cord blood stem cells market for 2010 is estimated at about US$4.5 billion. The market is further projected to register a robust CAGR of 27.3% during the period 2006-2015 to reach US$15 billion by 2015.
The worth of stem cells lies in the fact that they are the foundation for every organ and tissue in the body. Like a blank microchip, they can be "programmed" to perform particular tasks. Under proper conditions, they differentiate into specialized cells to carry out specific functions. Stem cell therapy is really promising in giving people a new life.

Derek Seifrit, who is a car salesperson, said, "In all honesty, gas is a resource that is someday going to disappear. Electricity is something that we will always generate, because we will always be able to make it."
But what's the difference between all-electric, hybrid and gas?
Cars with internal combustion engines are the gasoline-powered vehicles most of us drive today.
Hybrids appeared on the car scene a few years ago.
Brad Williams explained how they use both gasoline and a battery charge.
"The gas engine and battery are working together back and forth. The battery is there to take some of the load off of the gas. The primary station is still a gasoline internal combustion engine; the hybrid is kind of the backup. The hybrid is cutting on whenever you pull up at a red light, your hybrid is coming on, the battery technology. When you're traveling at low speeds, you're doing around town driving," said Williams.
He said the battery clicks on and off when you're using features like the air conditioner as well.
All electric cars mainly run on a battery.
The all electric Ford Focus is a little different from the Nissan LEAF because it has a backup gas engine.
Williams said, "It's going to have a range of about 76 miles then once you reach that 76 miles your 4 cylinder, internal combustion engine, your regular engine that you think of now a days kicks in and takes over from there."
He explained the all-electric Focus gets the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon.
The gas Ford Focus Fiesta gets 46 miles per gallon.
Seifrit said one charge usually lasts 100 miles in the Nissan LEAF.
"A charge will generally cost you $3.00 on a normal car; even a good hybrid you're talking 50 miles to a gallon. You're still going to spend twice that in fuel costs, whereas it's $3.00 to plug in at night," explained Seifrit.
The Nissan LEAF costs between $35,000 to $40,000.
A person also has to buy a charging station that runs generally $200, which gets installed at a person's home.
Every time you plug it up, the $3.00 goes on your electric bill, and the average annual electric cost is $600.
Seifrit said commercial plug-in stations are coming to different areas for easy access.
He said, "They would essentially charge it for 30 minutes at a gas station where you can just go plug it in, sit down, have a drink and your car is charged up at least 80 percent in 30 minutes."
If a person gets stuck somewhere, any outlet will do, but it takes about 8 to 12 hours.
Seifrit believes all electric cars are really worth the money, but it's up to you whether you want to dish out the dough for convenience down the line.
The Federal government does issue additional tax savings up to $7,500 on energy-efficient vehicles.
The Environmental Protection Agency rates Honda's 2013 Fit EV the highest with 118 miles per gallon.

Croy Nordic is part of the 160-kilometer BCRD Trails Nordic ski system, one of the nation's largest. Once ski season begins, users will be asked to purchase a $10 Croy Nordic day pass at the trailhead or purchase a BCRD Trails season pass.
Nordic ski trails are open from mid-November to late April, depending on snowfall. Ski rentals, instruction, guided tours and other activities and services are offered by Blaine County Recreation District, the Sun Valley Nordic Center as well as Galena Lodge.
