RIVERSIDE — Just as California Baptist University seems on the way to establishing itself as a serious player on the Division II level in its first year as a full-fledged member, the university's president is likewise becoming an influential figure in the NCAA's structure.
It shouldn't be considered a coincidence.
Dr. Ronald L. Ellis has been selected to the NCAA Division II President's Council, becoming part of a 16-member board of presidents and chancellors that will help set the agenda for Division II athletics. He won't assume that role officially until April, but when he attends the annual NCAA convention beginning Wednesday in San Diego Ellis will be observing things with his future position in mind.
"I think I'll know more (about what the role entails) after the first meeting in April," he said. "But I'm very honored to be asked to do that, and I look forward to be representing the West, and the athletes."
Ellis said he was approached about joining the council by the commissioner of the PacWest Conference, Bob Hogue, and by the president of Notre Dame de Namur University, Dr. Judith Maxwell Greig.
It's more of an administrative role than a recognition of a life's work, but Ellis' stewardship at Cal Baptist since becoming university president in 1994 has been attention-grabbing. What once was a sleepy little campus on Magnolia Ave. has become a vibrant one, with modern buildings, an expanding footprint … and an athletic department that has created high standards — and also believes in volume, competing in 19 varsity sports.
Cal Baptist teams won 21 NAIA national championships. The Lancers haven't won an NCAA title yet, but give them time. They've only been eligible for the Division II postseason five months, and they've already landed four teams in the postseason, almost had a fifth, and currently have a men's basketball team that's undefeated and ranked 18th in Division II.
And in three sports, men's volleyball, men's water polo and wrestling, they compete head-to-head against Division I teams on a regular basis.
"We've been kind of running a hybrid program for about 15 years," Ellis said, noting that when the school launched an aquatics program in 1998, and started men's volleyball around that time as well, it was pursuing sports that already had reduced numbers among both the NCAA and NAIA memberships. Thus, lower level programs got plenty of chances to play D-1s.
Those teams, in those sports, could be seen as a test. It's probably jumping the gun to assume Cal Baptist is eventually interested in full Division I membership, given that the school just got into Division II. But it's not out of the realm of possibility, either.
After all, while the Lancers currently call tiny Van Dyne Gym (1,100 capacity) home, an on-campus arena is absolutely in the university's long-range plan. Unlike another Riverside university we won't name, there is a confidence at the highest levels that when the time comes, donors will come through to pay for it.
How do you think all those other sparkling new buildings got there?
"We use what we call opportunity planning," Ellis said. "Higher education is in a transformative period, no question … we try to be nimble. We look at opportunities. I don't think we are aspiring to mimic any other particular institution, but we would survey the environment and look at some best practices and then see what fits here and kind of make it our own. That's what we've done the last 20 years."
Consider the expansion of the campus, the surge in enrollment (more than 6,000 total, and close to 5,000 undergraduates), and a mindset of not only pursuing excellence but being prepared for the future.
Cal Baptist's transition to Division II, for example, began long before the university actually applied for membership, with increases in staffing and resources.
"We did research in a lot of different ways, just finding out best practices and what it's going to take to be competitive," Ellis said. "And when you compete against those schools you kind of get it pretty fast — if we're going to be competitive, we're going to have to do certain things at certain levels.
"You just kind of boil the frog slowly, instead of all at once."
The conclusion: It wouldn't be surprising at all if this week in San Diego, with administrators and leaders from all three levels of the NCAA in the same place, Ellis is again doing a little homework.
After all, the man plans ahead.

Giants owner Wellington John Mara, uncle of the incredibly hot actress Kate Mara, has sent a "sky is falling letter" to Giants season ticket owners. Since he owns a team in New York the letter is intended for all of us as well. In his letter Mara makes a case for the owners who aren't known to be among those who are viewed as hard-line.
In his letter entitled "Time To Get Back To Football" Mara correctly states that in the 2006 agreement the players "have readily acknowledged they got a great deal"
True? Yes, True. When is getting a great deal wrong? Well, when you're on the other side of that deal. What's left out here is that there was immediate backlash from two owners, Cincinnati Bengals Mike "let 'em eat cake" Brown and Buffalo Wings owner Ralph Wilson.
Now some of you lambasted me for focusing on Jerry Jones and my contention that this was more of an owner vs. owner conflict than acknowledged and that "chaos" suited some owners just fine. Here is Wilson on the '06 agreement:
"I came into this game 50 years ago because I enjoyed the game of pro football. Not to make money," Wilson said. "In those days, everybody was hoping to break even. We lost money for a number of years. I am really not into the game to make money, but I would like to break even or make a little."
There's the rub, right there. From the 92 yr. old Wilson. How was it possible for owners to just break even? Revenue sharing, and what has Jerry said about revenue sharing?
"That will stop. That's going to stop. That's called revenue sharing. That's on its way out."
So in essence it's much more complicated than how to split a $9B pie.
While some owners are angry the players are pissed and it's about the nebulous "respect" issue. Mara and others leave something out here. There are two separate issues here. The current lockout and the pre-prepared Brady, et al vs. NFL suit. The owners act as if the latter preceded the former. I never thought that this suit would see the light of day on any docket. Antitrust is the Achilles heel for the owners. They win on job actions, players win on legal issues.
I agree with Mara, time to get back to football. Too bad that it's probably too late. The draft, drug testing, free agency depend upon a completed CBA. Maybe both parties forget or don't care but we're getting sick of this.
"god your fingers are cold"

West Virginia University football players reported to the practice facility today for day one of training camp. The team will take the field tomorrow for its first practice of the 2012 season.
WVU enters the new season with plenty of hype following a 70-33 dismantling of Clemson in the Orange Bowl. The Mountaineers also have a new home after leaving the Big East for the Big 12.
We will once again have training camp covered. The media will once again have very limited access to practice. Head Coach Dana Holgorsen is only opening practice to local media five times for 30 minutes each during camp.
Those five practices will occur on August 2, August 6, August 9, August 13 and August 16. Look for quick hits to arrive on our website shortly after the media is kicked out of practice those days.
Dana Holgorsen will address the media on the same days that practice is open. Those news conferences are set to begin at 7:30 pm. WVi is planning to live stream those news conferences as we did last year. If you miss the live stream, Holgorsen's news conferences will be posted to our website in their entirety once it is complete.
WVU will also make players and assistant coaches available throughout camp. We will post those interviews to our website shortly after they have wrapped up.
Once again, wvillustrated.com will be the place to go to keep up with the latest on the Mountaineers.
We are the home for "The Dana Holgorsen Show." The 2012 version of the show is set to debut on August 18. Look for more about the show on our website next week.

So I did math because the only NHL news right now is that that you will sign Keith/Kane/Teows up long term. The only thing people are bringing up is that they will need to trade sopel to make room for them on next years salary cap but no one is talking about where the hell you are going to make room for the other 10 players. Here are the cap numbers.
- Hossa- 5.2
- Kane 6.0 (rumored)
- Teows 6.0 Rumored
- Sharp 3.9
- Bolland 3.3
- Versteeg 3.0
- Byfug 3.0
=30mil *rounded down*
- Campbell 7.1
- Seabrook 3.5
- Barker 3.0
- Keith 5.5 *rumored*
= 19
- Huet 5.5
- Neimi 1.0 (hes a RFA next year and I will laugh if you dont sign him)
Grand total of roughly 56.5 Mil for 13 players. Even if you drop Huet or Campbells contracts that still only leaves about 5-7mil for 10 players. This has been bothering me since I heard the story and what they are expected to be making. I know this story was talked about way to much this summer but id like someone who knows wtf is going on with your salary cap to explain it.
PS I refuse to go blackhawks or be nice to people from detroit.

Revisionary Surgery Can Help
Thank you for your questio. I am sorry that you are having such a difficult recovery. It is important at this time to keep the lines of communication open with your surgeon and a more positive outlook. There are things that can be done to help. An open blepharoplasty, micro-liposuction, and steroid injections are just a few options to consider in addressing the fat transfer to the eye issue. More definitive answers will require before and after photos as well as examination. Good luck with your recovery. All the best.
What Can I Do For Disappointing Fat Grafting Under the Eyes?
If the swollen area represents residual fat, a lower blepharoplasty approach is a reasonable approach to remove excess fat in that area. If you really feel that your surgeon does a poor job, then find another surgeon. However, sometimes poor outcomes occur in spite of brilliant technique. Only you can assess the situation.

Fat grafting
Correction of fat grafting especially in the lower lids is very difficult. It will require surgery and removal of lumps.

Intellective Insights: For Sales Managers: Technology Can Help But ...
Sometimes you get what you ask for and then suffer unintended consequences. For years, we have been challenging graphic communications and technology companies to use technology to improve sales productivity and manage the sales process. I think we have won the battle. Unfortunately, we are not always getting the results we have expected.

Greetings Joe !
Thanks in sharing this article ...
Technology is a good tool - but will never replace "the human touch " - & where many go wrong ...
Miroslav Svestka
Great article Joe! I agree with you ~ too much micromanaging is not necessarily a good thing. In my personal experience, I truly believe when it comes to the sales managers' "other 50%" ( leadership, targeting, messaging, marketing, alignment, motivation, compensation and training.) that they should work hand in hand with the marketing department/manager. By doing so, it would greatly help out the salesforce and the marketing department by honing in on what's working ~ what's not working. Often times, this is not the case at most organizations and typically both departments don't see "eye to eye" even though the results would be for the greater good of the company.

As if the Chief Rabbinate was not under enough scrutiny with the unseemly
shenanigans surrounding the upcoming election of new chief rabbis, the dramatic
events surrounding the investigation of Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger for
financial improprieties have served to cast an even darker shadow over the
once-respected institution.
The current investigation into Metzger, which
is not his first as chief rabbi and not even his second as an ordained rabbi, is
just one of several recent indicators of the grave crisis of legitimacy facing
Israel's rabbinate.
Indeed, Metzger's appointment in 2003 was seen by many as a haredi ploy to
weaken the institution of the Chief Rabbinate, given his lack of credentials,
especially compared to the other prominent candidates at the time: the much
respected national-religious leader Rabbi Yaakov Ariel, chief rabbi of Ramat
Gan; and the equally wellconsidered rabbi and rabbinical judge Shlomo
Daichovsky, who is currently the director of the state rabbinical courts
But the leading haredi rabbi of the time, the late Rabbi Yosef
Shalom Elyashiv, decided to back Metzger, despite his slight credentials, which
secured Metzger the election due to the strength of the haredi parties in the
electoral committee for the Chief Rabbinate.
Metzger was the first chief
rabbi to be elected who was not qualified as a rabbinical judge, an important
component of the position of chief rabbi since the Ashkenazi and Sephardi chief
rabbis alternate as president of the Supreme Rabbinical Court.
Because of
this situation, legislation had to be passed in 2008 to allow Sephardi Chief
Rabbi Shlomo Amar to stay on as president for a second five-year period instead
of Metzger. This has not prevented Metzger from sitting as Supreme Rabbinical
Court judge during his time as chief rabbi.
Metzger also lacked
experience, having served as the neighborhood rabbi of north Tel Aviv before his
election to Ashkenazi chief rabbi, but never having served as a chief municipal
This was not a concern for Elyashiv, however, since the haredi
community pays scant regard to the Chief Rabbinate anyway, and members of the
haredi public have very little occasion to avail themselves of its services.
They do not rely on the kashrut certification of the rabbinate and mostly use
independent haredi rabbinical courts and non-rabbinate-affiliated rabbis for
life-cycle events.
Aside from the particular personalities presently
involved in the institution, the current contest for the Chief Rabbinate and the
heavy politicking that has gone with it have also served to diminish the respect
for and legitimacy of the institution.
In particular, two political deals
were floated in recent months by conservative elements in Bayit Yehudi's
rabbinic leadership and by Shas to enable Rabbi Yaakov Ariel to stand again,
despite his age ruling him out, and Rabbi Shlomo Amar to stand for reelection
despite the law ruling this out.
Although both deals ultimately fell
through, the protracted and ardent efforts of the political factions to change
the law for the benefit of their desired candidates left the impression that the
position of chief rabbi has less to do with the candidate's qualities and
credentials as a spiritual leader, and more to do with their ability to wrangle
and cajole politicians.
Aside from its leadership, the sprawling, unruly
nature of the Chief Rabbinate has also been greatly responsible for the
increasing dissatisfactions with the institution in general.
bureaucracy has led to an increase in civil marriage abroad, and the absence of
disciplinary procedures for officials in local religious councils has created a
staff so unaccountable that former religious services minister Ya'acov Margi of
Shas described some of these bodies as "a law unto themselves."
local religious councils are subject to the authority of the Religious Services
Ministry and not directly to the Chief Rabbinate, both institutions have been
mutually tainted by their status as indivisible parts of the established state
One organization that has sought to resurrect the image of
Judaism in Israel from its current nadir is the national-religious Tzohar group.
By being independent and attentive to its audience, mostly secular Israelis in
need of services for life-cycle events such as marriage, it has become extremely
popular and its services are increasingly sought after.
Its popularity
has risen so much that the prominent light of the Tzohar rabbinical association,
its chairman Rabbi David Stav, is now a leading candidate for Ashkenazi chief
rabbi and has the political backing of coalition parties Yesh Atid, Bayit
Yehudi, Yisrael Beytenu and Hatnua.
But Stav's liberalizing ideas and
desire to revamp and modernize the rabbinate has created such intense
opposition, not only from the haredi leadership but from the conservative wing
of the nationalreligious movement as well, that even if he were to be elected,
which is far from guaranteed, the Chief Rabbinate could end up with even less
A situation in which the both the hardal, conservative,
sector of the national-religious community and the haredi sector do not respect
or honor the Chief Rabbinate would be another blow to the authority of the
It is in this milieu that calls for the decentralization and
even dismantlement of the Chief Rabbinate will continue to grow. And while it is
perhaps not surprising that organizations promoting religious freedom, such as
Hiddush, are in favor of disestablishment, and that Meretz chairwoman Zehava
Gal-On called earlier this month for the abolition of the Chief Rabbinate, the
notion is gaining currency among Orthodox actors as well.
national-religious organization Ne'emanei Torah Va'Avodah has for some time been
promoting a communal model for religious services in the country that would
radically overhaul the current system.
Instead, it would put control of
religious life to a much greater extend in the hands of congregations and
communities and wrest it from the centralized government authorities, the
Religious Services Ministry and the Chief Rabbinate.
As the political
battles over control of established religion in Israel become ever sharper and
more vicious, it may become even harder to prevent the ongoing decline in
legitimacy of the Chief Rabbinate.

A great slab route! Start off the ground at the obvious crack, place some pro and scramble up to the ledge then continue up the sloping holds and smears to the crux undercling move that is easier if taller, the pro after the half-way point is sparse, but you won't fall unless a bear tackles you.
Center of the slab just left of Forearm Frenzy.
Frequent god gear at the bottom, but much less after the half-way point.
can be done 3 different ways by either breaking right or left at the roof or just going strait over it. safe lead for sure.
Depending on which variation you do the grade can be much harder for shorter climbers. Great lead with good gear when you need it.... Black snakes like to hang in the large horizontal cracks near the top.
Top roped b/c I haven't climbed in months. Nice easy climb along the crack, a bit more of a challenge if you start out left.
Fun easy slab route with a much harder crux section (the bulge) in the middle of an otherwise very easy route. Good gear all the way up. The bulge is intimidating for the grade. A freind of mine who just started leading, led clark bar crack with no problem earlier in the day. He got shut down at the crux of this route the same day on the lead.
Can be top roped with a gear anchor, but good luck finding trees. I used small cams with a sliding X, a good BD .75 off a little lower to climbers right and a big nut further back up top and left. Also a decent BD #1 two-three feet below anchor master point as a back up, good to be safe. The variation that goes left of the bulge is super fun. Use gear to eliminate a big swing when on TR.

Democrat A.J. Balukoff says he's putting his money where his mouth is as he campaigns to become the first Idaho Democrat elected governor since 1990.
With a net worth he estimates at $40 million to $50 million, Balukoff said when he announced his run in December that he would subsidize his challenge to two-term GOP Gov. Butch Otter.
Balukoff's contributions accounted for about one-fifth of his fundraising through his May 30 Sunshine report.
Now, he's telling supporters he'll match every dollar they give three for one.
"I know that pay-to-play politics will put my opponent at a financial advantage, but I was surprised to find out how slanted it is," Balukoff said in a fundraising email this week with the subject line, "Jump in July: TRIPLE MATCH!"
Balukoff said the promotion is limited to July "for now," but that he expects his campaign will spend about $2 million before the Nov. 4 election. Otter spent $1.95 million to win in 2006 and $1.84 million in 2010.
"I think it's important that this race be competitive and that we talk about issues," Balukoff said in an interview Wednesday. "People pay attention when they realize there's a viable alternative to Gov. Otter."
Otter began 2014 with $708,000 banked, but spent $751,000 on a bruising 51 percent to 44 percent May 20 primary win over Sen. Russ Fulcher. Otter raised $494,000, January through May, reporting $451,000 in cash May 30.
Balukoff salted his campaign with $91,000 in December and raised $20,000 from others that first month. In the first five months of 2014, he received $307,000 from a contributor list now exceeding 1,400 individuals. Much of that came from Balukoff phone pitches, a procedure he calls "the root canal of campaigning."
So far, his spending has included advertising, events, food and refreshments, management services, travel, wages, printing, postage and utilities.
His May 30 balance was just $38,000 - less than a tenth of Otter's cash on hand.
"I've got to somehow offset that advantage," Balukoff said.
He acknowledged his own poll early this year showed he's not well known outside Boise, where he has been on the Boise School Board for 16 years.
"People would say, 'Who?' " Balukoff acknowledged. But when surveyors told respondents about Balukoff's biography - including his success as a businessman and accountant - his numbers rose to what he calls a "dead heat" with Otter.
To reach voters unfamiliar with him, Balukoff said, he will buy TV and radio but wouldn't say just when.
Former Democratic Congressman Walt Minnick said Balukoff can win.
"I definitely think it's doable, given the split in the Republican Party and that fact that Idaho, by any objective standards, is not doing well in terms of educating its citizens, providing them well-paying jobs or creating economic opportunity."
Minnick is the last Idaho Democrat to win statewide or federal office. His 2008 win over Republican state Rep. Bill Sali cost $2.5 million, twice what Sali spent. Of that, about $925,000 came from Minnick's own pocket.
"If you're a Democrat in Idaho, you have to get your message across to folks enough that they will consider voting for the person, rather than their party," Minnick said. "It requires communication."
For Minnick, TV advertising began in July, unconventionally early. Social media has changed campaigns, Minnick said, so Balukoff's strategy may be different. Whatever media mix Balukoff chooses, Minnick said, he can't wait until the traditional Labor Day push.
"If I were A.J., I would start that process in summer and not try to cram it into the two months of fall when the airwaves are very cluttered and everybody else is trying to do it," Minnick said.
Boise State political scientist emeritus Jim Weatherby agreed, saying Democrats who've followed the conventional calender have found themselves hopelessly behind.
"They were never a factor," he said.
"We're moving toward August," Weatherby continued. "A lot of people are maybe not paying attention, but I think it's important for him to get his name out as early and often as he can."
Of his advertising plans, Balukoff said, "Stay tuned."
He also qualified his commitment for a $2 million campaign.
"It's going to depend on how things roll out," he said. "If the polls show that I don't have much of a chance, there's no point putting that money in. If it shows it's doable, I want to keep this race competitive. And if it's competitive, we're going to do what it takes to win."
Weatherby said Balukoff's admission that he won't toss good money after bad is a slip, perhaps rooted in his first outing as a partisan candidate and his career as a CPA.
"It's a reasonable statement, but perhaps not for an aspiring politician," Weatherby said. "What the contributors want to hear is, 'I'm in this all the way to win. Period.' "
The school board president said his emphasis on improving education is resonating with ordinary voters.
"Education invariably comes out as the top issue," Balukoff said. "Right on its heels is the economy, jobs, low-paying jobs. The other thing is ethics in state government - some people use the word 'cronyism,' other people call it the 'good old boys network.' It just comes down to open government."
He cited July 4 stops in Malad, Pocatello and Idaho Falls, where he was invited to attend the huge Melaleuca Freedom Celebration by CEO Frank VanderSloot.
VanderSloot, a major GOP contributor, suggested Balukoff conduct the Freedom Symphony during Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" before the fireworks.
"It was nice visiting with him," Balukoff said. "In fact, he told the crowd this is the first time he'd had a Democrat lead the orchestra."

Rated 5 out of 5�by Herm Case makes it convienent Fun was had by everyone at a picnic. All ages played with no problem. Easy to pack up and move on. August 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by BAD PRODUCT DO NOT BUY!!!! THEY DO NOT GIVE YOU ENOUGH WASHERS AND RIGHT IN THE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO PLAY IT SAYS THAT YOU NEED MORE THAN YOU GET! August 5, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by longball75 awful This cheaply made pile of junk broke after the first game. The staples pulled right out of the sides. The worst $40 I have ever spent. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mel Great construction I bought this for my husband and he was thrilled that it was a wooden box with metal clasps. Very well made. It was lots of fun to play and it is easy to transport! July 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by wiley Fun game, poor quality Bought this cause the price was good, but have to agree with a lot of the other reviewers - cheaply made. Also agree with the fact that the game is supposed to be played with 4 washers for each team, but game only includes 3 each - and washers very light - throw them and if it's windy - wind will blow them away from target. Have not had anything break yet, but have only used it once. Recommend buying better quality and get your own washers. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Carrot5 Washer lawn Game We bought this for our grandson as an afterschool game for him. Grandpa and him have been playing this game daily after he gets off the bus at Grandpa's house. Good game for all ages. June 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by JB NOT FUN First of all, the box was missing two washers. Second, it really wasn't very much fun. It's nearly impossible to get a washer in the hole or even inside the box. We ended up playing to 5 instead of 21. June 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by BAMTL Fun enough While the game is simple and fun enough, the center piece is poorly fastened to the box itself. Our first time playing it, both center pieces popped off and we had to refasten and reinforce it ourselves with touch as nails and longer screws. Fun game though. June 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by EmKrom33 Product broke third time we used it We used Wild Sports Washer Toss Game three total times and the entire side of the box broke off. The washers are also too light and don't throw well. I recommending using your $40 and building one yourself! We purchased real washers at a hardware store and they work much better. May 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by bass fishing I love your store, I buy most of my fishing gear there Honest review, we gave it away as a gift for a birthday down in the city of Temecula. After opening the box, it looks like it was a return, you could see where someone took black paint and tried to cover up a gouge out of the wooden box, the paper works says that there should have been 4 washers per color, and there was only 3 per color. We told them we would take it back, they said don't worry about it. And that is honest. April 29, 2014

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The teachers and staff have been amazing! Great parent involvement too! I have a 3rd grader who is happy and loving school! The enthusiasm that the teachers and parents have for the Content Band Specialization is exciting. Proud to be a Hillside Husky!
One of my children graduated last year from Hillside and was very prepared and confident to enter middle school. He returns to Hillside to see his younger siblings' activities and often stops by to say hello to past teachers and considers Hillside home/family. Both my children enjoy school and have been challenged and motivated by great teachers (one "bummer teacher" year out of 11 combined). Hillside's Principal, Dr. Otway is now attracting top teaching talent with the new teacher-designed Content Band Specialization to help deliver on the rigorous Core Standards. Our family is pleased with our school, its diverse student body and culture, and its academic innovations. The PTA is focused on serving student needs and building a strong Hillside community. The PTA also has a good working relationship with Principal.
My son started Kindergarten at Hillside in 2010. The teachers have been amazing throughout. We have never had a teacher complaint, and he has always experienced high grades and exceptional testing scores. Over the last couple of years, with Dr. Otway taking over as Principal, the learning methods and enthusiasm have skyrocketed. The teachers voted last year and have begun this school year (2014) content band instruction for all grades. It is amazing. Each teacher can pick their mastered subject and teach it all day. They have 3 grades in the bands, and each grade is further divided into levels based on under-performing, performing and excelling students. The competition and zest for learning is through the roof. Now, my daughter is in Pre-K at Hillside. The Pre-K teacher has been there for several years, has instructed all of our neighbors' kids, and we were so thrilled to be chosen in the lottery to attend at Hillside. The PTA is consistently voted among the strongest, most involved in the system. Any time I am at the school, I see no less than 15 neighbors from the pool and parks we attend. We love Hillside and are so glad we chose such a vibrant, family community.
Hillside has been a wonderful experience for my children. I have a third grader and a first grader and we have had amazing teachers that I can't say enough good things about. They are both advanced and have been challenged by their teachers at every level. The PTA is really caring and hosts amazing programs for the kids such as Science Day and Artist Day which the kids love. I love their character education program that teachers the students value words every month. They also do a ton of drives and service projects to reinforce those values.
the people are very nice but the program is way too slow if your children are high achievers or excel. my son is unmotivated and the work is unchallenging for him. the response in all areas of the school is slow too and it is slow to adapt to other students. i haven't seen much homework come home so i know they are not doing the volume of work they need to. the problem is just lack of interest in these exceptional students in my opinion. instead of seeing them as an asset and great role models, they dumb down the whole class for the ones unable to do the work. this makes the teachers appear overworked and to let the smartest kids fend for themselves.the environment is pleasant and homey. kids are mindful and pleasant so it is hard for me to pull them out since they enjoy this environment very much. i believe the incessant problem of slow children needs to be solved via volunteers.encouragement from the teachers also instead of looking at parents as intrusive. the pta seems more about $/events than the huge holes in the school that exist.it is unfair for exceptional kids. they need to do more in the way of engaging parents or helping teachers.many more spanish liasons needed also.
I am a new Hillside parent. My children are new students in grades 2 and 4. We have received a very warm welcome. The teachers have made every effort to make my kids feel part of the Hillside family right from the start. We attended a school within the district in the past. Hillside has a small school feel and I must say - I am impressed!
We have been at Hillside for 3 years now and it has been a wonderful experience. Both of my children are happy and excelling in their academics. The teachers are incredible and the administration is very easy to work with. The PTA is a well organized group of people who are doing everything they can to make Hillside the best it can be and are constantly asking parents to step up and help in any way. We love Hillside!
Bad Leadership by the Principal. PTA is a Mom's group that doesn't encourage others parents to participate they do not accommodate changes and are very unfriendly. The Teachers some are nice but some of them are way out of line when it comes to respecting the parents and handling children. If you complain about anything you are penalized, the teachers and staff gang up against you. Not a healthy atmosphere for children and parents needs complete change. Needs dedicated teachers who love teaching children and have patience and understanding.
It is the fist year for my daughter and she liked the experience. TAG class is her favourite. The staff is caring and teachers are very attentive. I am very satisfied.
Great teachers and staff. School is always doing extracurricular activities and adding amenities to expand student s knowledge and make the school more personalized (new plant boxes by the front entrance for example). As well, parents are very involved as was demonstrated by the successful fund raiser to put in the new gym floor last year. I wish there were more funds to support the teachers as I think they are bearing an unfair burden in having to take days off w/out pay. If I thought I could find support I'd lead a charge to raise money among the parents to reimburse the teachers for the days they have lost. That is how strongly I feel about the quality of the Hillside staff.
fantastic teachers and programs. they teach to the 'higher level' which I appreciate but also support kids that need an extra hand
I have a 12 year old who went thru grades K-5 and now a 3rd grader still there. It is a great school and most if not all teachers work hard to educate the students on many levels. If there is a complaint, and I'm sure many have thought this but few have written , it is in the amount of non-Hillside flyers that come home in each weeks VIP packets. They overwhelm me and make me feel that 1, my kids could be joining all these things but I won't let them, or 2, I feel pressure to contribute to some cause constantly. I want to know what's going on at Hillside. Not wanting to see so much about other non-Hillside events that my 8 year old could be particpating in. The school should be filtering this stuff out.
I have 2 children here(1 in her first year and 1 in her 3rd year). I am impressed by how with it's many changes(redistricting, principal changes) how quickly they are to respond to parents and how they teach to the highest level(and work with those that need extra help to bring them to the highest level as well). I am a child of private school as is my husband but we are impressed to date by our choice of public school in this area.
Great school - highly recommended!
This school is terrific!!
Outstanding public school that values diversity, achievement, and differentiated instruction. The new principal and administration are focused on attracting and maintaining experienced, quality teachers, and integrating high tech materials into the classroom. Students can look forward to participating in a school-wide Science Olympiad Day, an Artist Day where 15-20 local artists spend the day at the school, teaching about their artform, reading motivational programs, and student clubs. The media specialist facilitates a student-led morning tv show called WDOG. Of course, every school faces challenges, and Hillside is no exception. It has an interesting mix of students from rich and upper middle class to a number of students that qualify for free lunch. But, the cultural diversity is a benefit. I highly recommend this school. We plan to move this year, but will be staying in the Hillside district.
This school is amazing!!! It is the most organized school that I have ever known! The new principal is awesome and the teachers are great!!! My son loves going to school here which is the complete opposite of last year at another nearby school. There is a lot of parent involvement and after school activities to select from. I have not talked to one parent who has said a bad thing about Hillside.
D.Jones the principal has created an awesome environment for all the children
I have two children at Hillside and love it! We started in K and now in 4th grade. It is better than most private schools - I used to teach at one. My son started in Pre-K and is in K now. Every teacher is top notch and the shcool is gorgeous with state of the art technology. They have WDOG news every AM on closed circuit TV so even my 6 yr old knows what's happening! They change classes from K on for reading & math to ensure students get the appropriate level of challenge. The principal is down to earth and knows all the kids. She is a real leader and encourages parents to join kids for lunch any day. It is a privaledge and I am about to pay an extra 30K for a house to stay in this school district. Thanks to all the Huskies!
This school is everything we hoped it would be when we moved from out of state 2 years ago. Hillside tailors the children's education to their individual needs in a way I have never seen nor heard of before. They do a fabulous job with both advanced students and students with special needs (and those who fit both descriptions). The teaching staff is truly remarkable and I don't believe my daughter could receive a better education at any price. We chose our home so we could be in a Hillside neighborhood, for the combination of test scores and diversity. We have not been disappointed. The scores continue to outshine other schools in the area.

The ex-student (known as Easter Bunny) of Huffington Public School in Ontario, Canada, and his younger brother, were in court today.
'Easter Bunny' ran amock in a small school in Ontario 2 days ago. He caused the school to 'lockdown' and rampaged through the hallways throwing raw eggs at bulletin boards and tearing down any artwork depiction Easter eggs or chickens, whilst screaming 'I HATE EASTER, I HATE EASTER'.
If you have been following this story you will know that his younger brother, who still attends Huffington Public School, had propped open the door of the gym, leading from the outside, the previous night, in order to allow his brother access to the school.
Both brothers have appeared in court for sentencing.
Although they were given sentences which involved Community Service, they opted for a 6 month prison sentence, much to the delight of their parents, known Jenhovah's Witnesses, who preferred the jail sentences to Community Service involving Christian 'acts'.
The boys are delighted because it's going to give them 6 months away from Kingdom Hall and Witnessing on Saturdays with their parents. So saving them from having to face classmates when knocking on doors, which has resulted in much bullying for the two boys.
They are looking forward to the 'break' and it is rumoured that they are both planning to be 'disruptive' during their 6 month sentences in an effort to be given longer jail sentences.
Who knows to what lengths these 2 young men will go to in order to avoid Kingdom Hall. Time will tell.
Their parents don't believe the rumours and trust that Jehovah will bring the two boys back to 'Kingdom Hall' very soon.
Meanwhile, the boys are looking forward to prison food and making lots of new friends.
Our source tells us that they are both planning to have tattoos in prison. At the time of publishing it is not known what the tattoos will depict.
More as this story unfolds.

New consultant midwife at Epsom and St Helier hospitals
5:00am Sunday 22nd June 2014 in News By Hardeep Matharu, Chief Reporter
A new consultant midwife who wants to encourage more women to give birth naturally has been appointed to Epsom and St Helier hospitals.
Marion Louki, who has joined the hospital trust from St George's, in Tooting, will be a senior member of midwifery staff who will provide clinical leadership, management and development to the team who care for parents-to-be and their new babies.
The former graphic designer, who retrained as a midwife after giving birth to four children, will be spending half of her time in the clinical areas supporting staff.
She said: "One of my main priorities will be to support and promote normal births and that's something I feel very strongly about.
"With the help and support of our expert midwifery team, the vast majority of women can give birth normally, and where that is possible, there are huge benefits for mother and baby.
"Women are, after all, built to give birth normally and it is the fundamental role of midwifery to recognise and encourage this natural physiological process.
"Women who give birth normally are less likely to experience large blood loss, recover quickly from the pregnancy and labour, and bond well with their babies."
She added: "Having my children was the inspiration for re-training as a midwife.
"I was a graphic designer previously, but during my own pregnancies and childbirth, I became incredibly interested in the biology and physiology of what was happening.
"My passion for midwifery grew from then, and I haven't looked back.
"It's an incredible job, and I feel honoured to be a part of such an important time in the life of others."
The trust is recruiting for a second consultant midwife. For more information visit twitter.com/esth_jobs.

tjames, I am going to assume you're a man for the purposes of this exercise. Here is some information for you...
1. Judging by your past posts, you seem obsessed with the cost of the NHS. On average, a natural delivery costs the NHS less than a C-section so from a cold cost point-of-view, this should keep the bean counters happy.
2. St Helier Hospital performs C-sections when necessary. I know at least one woman who had an excellent experience at St Helier when she required an emergency C-section as well as multiple women who have had excellent experiences at the hospital with natural deliveries.
3. As well as the new consultant midwife, St Helier Hospital also has other excellent leaders in its maternity/gynaecolog
y departments such as Mr Hassan Shehata and Dr Elizabeth Sherriff.
But please don't let facts get in the way of a spot of ill-informed feminist-bashing...

(And before anyone uses this issue as an excuse to jump on the anti-immigration bandwagon, even if immigration were to stop tomorrow, people would still continue to have babies.)

Unlike many liberals, I don't delude myself into believing we don't need to bargain with the GOP about the fiscal cliff. Though I'd prefer the real bargaining take place in January, after the leverage shifts, I think it is important for the President to appear to be bargaining now, and once you do that, there is always the possibility of accidentally falling into agreement.
That being said, There's no reason for the Democrats to specify what cuts they will accept in advance of the GOP specifying what cuts they want. The President is obligated to negotiate, but the President is not obligated to negotiate against himself.
You want cuts, boys? Then lay your cards on the table. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/11/what-do-republicans-want.html

|End Of Overtime
According to Michael Leibig, general counsel for the I.U.P.A., at a time when demands on law enforcement officers are at an all time high, these same officers could lose the right to over $150,000,000 in pay if the FLSA is rewritten by the Bush White House. According to I.U.P.A. Vice President Dennis Slocumb, the proposed rule change would exempt anyone making more than $21,500 and supervising two or more persons from receiving overtime pay, and it would deny overtime pay to nearly every police sergeant in America. The Department of Labor (DOL) has crafted a proposal that any person making $21,500 a year or more and doing work "requiring a high level of skill or training" is considered "administrative" and exempt. The Labor Department has also removed the degree requirements from the "professional" exemption.
Slocumb explained it this way. "Virtually all police officers could be so designated. If this goes through, we estimate that about 200,000 police officers would be exempted from the provisions of FLSA. Our most conservative estimate is that the average police officer exempted would lose at least 20 percent of his or her pay." In addition to the revision of administrative classification, the proposal would also exempt from FLSA coverage any person making more than $65,000 a year total compensation. The broadening of these exemptions, which has been consistently rejected by the courts in more than 130 cases, would be overturned by these proposed rules. If the proposal is successful, it will mark the first time in U.S. history that a large group of employees who have enjoyed the protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act have had those rights removed without Congressional review.
"This represents the most drastic reduction in protection in 50 years and is being done by fiat of the Department of Labor without Congressional oversight," noted Sam Cabral, IUPA's national president.
Both Slocumb and Cabral are former police officers with extensive experience. Both are angry at what they say is the heavy-handed treatment of police officers by the Bush White House, which seems to be in total support of the efforts of the Dept. of Labor to remove the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The I.U.P.A. is warning its more than 100,000 members that the effort to create a large pool of exempted workers in a police department will mean that commanders could assign overtime only to those officers for whom they don't have to pay overtime. Management could also refuse to pay compensatory time for hours worked, on the grounds that "exempt" employees are not subject to the limitations of the 40 hour week.
Attorney Leibig, one of the nation's foremost labor law attorneys, who has tried and won innumerable FLSA cases on behalf of law enforcement officers, said that nearly half of the nation's police forces would be negatively affected. According to Leibig, there would be a "ripple" effect where supervisors would deliberately assign overtime to exempt officers to save money on overtime costs by denying pay to officers who depend on overtime to supplement their salaries and better support their families.
Leibig maintains that the volume of overtime coverage is critical, saying, "The damage is done even if just 20 percent are exempt." Cabral, a former police sergeant from Defiance, Ohio, said, "If this change goes through, there'll be no incentive for a sergeant to ever take an assignment requiring long or irregular hours. You'll see all senior personnel taking jobs with predictable hours and working conditions which will drastically reduce the ability of the department to fight crime."
Slocumb, with more than 30 years experience as a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said, "With the billions of dollars appropriated and approved for the enhancement of Homeland Security and the increased demands on our nation's police officers, it is unconscionable to ask them to do more and more for less and less compensation in a job that is often fraught with danger."
Both leaders expressed the deep concern that with the budgetary crises in cities and counties, they anticipate that employers who are facing severe financial shortfalls and are lacking any federal financial assistance for first responders would implement these rules immediately. The effect would be to deny rank and file officers critically needed pay. The loss of overtime pay would drive many officers to seek other jobs outside of law enforcement and greatly erode the morale of those remaining on the job.
The I.U.P.A. is calling on its members to become thoroughly familiar with the importance of the protections afforded them by current FLSA provisions and in turn educate their elected officials in the House and Senate. They will urge the Congress to review Dept. of Labor plans with an eye to preserve the protections for all workers. Also, while H.R. 1119, the so-called Family Time Flexibility Act, would only apply to private sector workers, the I.U.P.A. is advocating its defeat so those workers can keep their job protections. Slocumb said calling these proposed rule changes the "Family Time Flexibility Act" is a smoke screen to cover an effort to destroy an important part of labor law.
"What good does family time mean if it comes at the cost of destroying a person's ability to support their family?" he asked. "How can it be labeled either 'family' or 'flexible' when only the employer can dictate when the time earned can be taken off?" "Whether it is the private sector or public sector, overtime pay often means the difference between eking out a bare existence for a family and truly supporting a family," Slocumb said.
"It must not be sacrificed for the sake of cutting expenses by refusing to pay a fair amount of money for work done."
Rich Roberts is the director of public affairs for the International Union of Police Associations.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - Launch Trailer
Check out the launch trailer for The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing on the PC.
GREAT GAME!Much better then any other in this style, lots of other unique options and many more!
so this is the game Diablo has been copying all along.
Is it RPG or hack and slash?
i love it too bad its soo short
This game is so amazing and funny. I really enjoy the conversations between Van Helsing and Katarina, the graphics and music are beautiful and the gameplay is fun. I love all kind of ARPGs but this I can't stop playing. I wonder when GameSpot will post a review here.
Does this game offer the same polished, dynamic and varied action Diablo 3 does?
(Lots of truly varied enemies, which make you move around alot and force you to employ different tactics depending on the enemy-type)
This game is amazing.. the graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth. As one of the few peope who seemingly enjoyed Diablo III, I can say that this is better.
It's sad that all the focus is on milked to death AAA franchises and little fun gems like this come out with so few people knowing about it, the critic response has been positive so far.
gotta love gamespot. watch this commercial before you watch your commercials..
Looks nice, but a bit messy..
This game is awsome. I'm having a great time. A lot better than Torchlight II both graphics and gameplay wise. Only $13.50 on steam right now.
Most games with a 'top down' view, (like Diablo, Gauntlet, Bauldar's Gate, or Xmen Legends), are classified as an 'Action RPG'. Anyway, thats the official name for the genre.
Ya.. hope this is not online based just like Diablo 3
@urayanya@ahztek666 You can play offline, good game, worth buying it!
