The library database Web of Science (formerly Science Citation Index) can be set to deliver e-mail notifications each time someone cites your work. Here are brief instructions on setting up these alerts, but feel free to call me for more personalized assistance.
- Start at the Web of Science homepage.
- Search by author's last name and first, middle initials. Ex. "Last, FM" (...indecently also a great website for free music).
- On the next screen, refine the results to Institution (Univ Minnesota) and view the results (since 1974).
Note: From the results screen you may "Create a Citation Report," linked in top right of results screen. This will show who has cited which paper and when.
- Setting up alerts is a bit cumbersome since you must do it for each individual paper (and not by author). Back in the results screen, click on an article title. In the right, under "Cited by" there is a link to "Create a citation alert." Click this link for each article you wish to track who is citing.
Note: You will need to sign up for a free Web of Science account.
The limitation with Web of Science however will be where your work is cited, for example, if you get cited in a narrow society journal not covered by this database, you will not see this result. Google scholar may let you see these obscure citations (search by article title, then click "Cited by") but the capacity to track citations is not yet available.
More Info:
For more info on the Web of Science, I teach a workshop called "Research Made Easy: Discover the Web of Science." Check the Sci/Eng library for the next available session (probably in the fall).

League Name: HornetsReport
Password: winorgohome
Alright here we go. We will use this thread to be an official hub to our league. I will download a good draft class for '12 and '13 and will auto generate past that point. Below is the roster and I need votes on the following and hopefully we can get decisions on all of these things by the end of the week. Please try and put everything in one post to make it easier. I'll be working on a rule set to help keep things balanced and people don't manipulate the trade logic (ie have 5 first round draft picks etc). Also if we can get the people missing psn's on here to let me know theirs as well, that'd be great. Enjoy!
How many games: 28, 56, or 82
How many Minute Quarters: Open
Do we want to limit team selection: IE no heat lakers, thunder etc or leave it all open?
Do we want to do a lotto to be able to see who selects what team?
OR do we want to just select teams and do a "fantasy draft"?

I had started an association a while ago, but I was new to it. Got people to join but had to keep creating new ones to tweak it, Soon I lost the interest of my members lol. But yeah , count me in.
My votes: 28 games, 6 mins quarters, fantasy draft
28 games, 8 minute quarters, fantasy draft
I might buy a PS3, and if I do, count me in!
You don't follow my Twitter, I lead yours.
is it too late to join?
Im giving this a full week so anyone interested can join and vote. Want to make sure we get it right the first time. Also if you have any advice please let me know and it will be strongly
well i dont mind any diffculty i can cope with anything prefer superstar though with 8 min
If I could join in, thatd be great. I've never really been a part of a "decent" online association and feel like this would actually be pretty successful
If so, PSN: LCEnrique78
And I vote for a fantasy draft with 8 minutes as well, other than those preferences, I'm game for any other settings
I just bought a PS3. Sign me up for it. Don't have it yet, so I'll tell you my PSN when I set it up.
Is the current draft for 360 users? When is a ps3 league starting, I don't want to miss the draft.
The current draft is for 360 users, you have some time for the ps3 league. I really am leaning towards a fantasy draft though, so im waiting to hear other's opinions on it.
You have my PSN already. I vote users pick whatever team they want and we do a Fantasy Draft. I say games should be 7 minutes. long enough but not too long. 28 game season. I like the harder difficulties like Hall of Fame or Superstar. Keeps it more realistic.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
How many games: 28
How many Minute Quarters: 8
Do we want to limit team selection: IE no heat lakers, thunder etc or leave it all open? Open
Do we want to do a lotto to be able to see who selects what team? Yes
OR do we want to just select teams and do a "fantasy draft"? Lotto for team and draft (serp)
date for a draft? prefer on a weekend.
Yeah I concur with the poster above. A weekend date would be preferable being that I won't be near my console until at least Thursday.
BTW, I'm fine with whatever settings people come up with,
Weekend nights are perfect for me. I'll be away from home this weekend, but I could bring the console to the hotel if it has wi-fi.
NO HALL OF FAME DIFFICULTY! Playing against the CPU on HOF is a headache. Make it All-Star. And what is the name of this league? I am searching for it.
56 games
10 minute quarters
serpentine fantasy draft
all star difficulty

Click below to hear the interview
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
For the past two weekends, the Defense Information Systems Agency has been moving employees to Fort Meade. It is part of the ongoing BRAC relocation.
Jack Penkoske, Director for Manpower, Personnel and Security for DISA, told Federal News Radio that 150 employees have made the move so far with 4,150 to go.
"Two weekends ago, on the 8th of January, we had a little beta test of about 40 people. This past Saturday we had another about 130 employees, and then it just keeps going. Every weekend we will move between 150 and 200 employees until we get everybody up there." The move, said Penkoske, should be complete by the end of July "but it's a huge effort."
Penkoske described the process.
"The employees have to pack it all into crates. They are all marked. The day before that too, the computers and everything else are packed up and taken up to Fort Meade."
Then professional movers swooped in. "They started at 6 am, had them all on the truck by 8 am and had them all unloaded up at Fort Meade at 10:30 in the morning." That works out to 130 employees moved in 270 minutes, or just over two minutes per employee. "It's a very efficient and well planned out process," said Penkoske, "and hopefully it'll continue like that through July."
Of course, "there's always problems" in the early phases, he said. They found glitches with IT connectivity with computers, and issues with phones, but "our CIO has a very robust group up there and a helpdesk up there, so that the minute the employees have a problem, they call the helpdesk and they react to it."
Asked if there's anything employees should know about the move, Penkoske advised, "pack early and make sure you clean everything out because there's only so much stuff you can take. When the movers get there, they gobble it up right away, so they need to plan early and not start thinking about it as they get down to the last day."
Once there, Penkoske said he's looking forward to the benefits of having all 4,300 employees on one campus. On the downside, he noted for some, the commute is going to change drastically. For those not moving up to the area, "having transportation options available to them is a big issue." It may take trial and error for a few weeks for employees who stay in northern Virginia to figure out the best way to get there.
For other agencies making large moves, Penkoske said it may "sound kind of obvious, but you cannot do enough planning up front." DISA, for example, has planned its move down to knowing where every employee is going to sit. "Overplanning and then overcommunicating to your workforce is the best thing to do."

Assess the Wiring
Often the biggest factor affecting the cost of recessed light fixtures is how much new wiring is needed. If you're replacing existing lights with recessed fixtures, chances are you can use the same circuit to supply the new fixtures, and the electrical work may be minimal. On the other hand, if no fixtures or suitable circuits are in the area, you'll need to tie into the closest appropriate circuit or install an entirely new circuit and breaker; this isn't a huge deal, but it can easily add $100 to $200 or more to the project cost. Have an electrician come over for a quick assessment of your plans. Many will do this for free on the prospect of getting to bid on the job.

King is set to run for re-election in Maine in November of 2018.
Prior to his election to the Senate, King served as Governor of Maine from 1995 to 2003.
In April 2014, King announced he would decide after the 2014 midterm elections whether to switch sides and caucus with Republicans.[2][3]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, King is a more moderate left of center Democratic Party vote. As a result, he may break with the Democratic Party line more than his fellow members.
King was born in Alexandria, VA, and has spent most of his life in Maine. He graduated from the University of Virginia's School of Law in 1969. He has since served as one of just two independent governors in the United States. King is also a Distinguished Lecturer at Bowdoin College.[4]
- After Law School, King became a staff attorney at Pine Tree Legal Assistance in Skowhegan, Maine
- In 1972, he became Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Alcoholism and Narcotics
- Host and co-producer of "Maine Watch," a TV show on the Maine Public Broadcasting Network
- Vice-president of Swift River/Hafslund Company, "an alternative energy development company" (1983)
- Founder of Northeast Energy Management, Inc., "a developer of large-scale energy conservation projects" (1989)
- Governor of Maine 1995-2003
Committee assignments
U.S. Senate
King serves on the following Senate committees[5][6]:
- United States Senate Committee on Armed Services
- Subcommittee on Strategic Forces
- Subcommittee on SeaPower
- Subcommittee on Personnel
- United States Senate Committee on Budget
- United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration
- United States Senate Committee on Intelligence (Select)
Key votes
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[7] The Senate confirmed 13,949 out of 18,323 executive nominations received (76.1 percent). For more information pertaining to King's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[8]
National security
John Brennan CIA nomination
King voted for the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[9]
Paycheck Fairness Act
King voted with Republicans in the Senate to block a vote on April 9, 2014, to open debate on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would prohibit retaliation against employees who share their salary information with each other. It would also require the Department of Labor to collect wage data from employers, broken down by race and gender, and require employers to show that wage differentials between men and women in the same jobs are for a reason other than sex.[10][11]
The Senate voted 53 to 44 to move forward on the bill, which was short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster.[10]
All Republicans present and King voted against proceeding to debate the bill. All Democrats and Independent Bernie Sanders voted in favor.[10]
King explained his "no" vote in this statement:[11]
"Discrimination of all kinds is wrong. I think a woman ought to get paid as much as men for the same work — that's just common sense and it's the law. But I've looked at this from all sides — I've talked to Mainers, to business leaders, to men and women, and this particular bill, in my view, fails to address the real causes that are driving the wage gap. In addition, the bill could impose substantial burdens on businesses in justifying pay differentials. The way to narrow the wage gap between men and women includes facilitating more family-friendly workplaces, which will allow women to stay in the workforce if they choose to have children; encouraging more girls and young women to pursue higher-paying professions, like science, engineering, law, and medicine; and improving the earning potential for low-wage workers, who are disproportionately women. That's why I support raising the minimum wage, which the President's Council on Economic Advisers says will help narrow the wage gap. I support equal pay for equal work, and this was a very difficult vote. In the end, however, I felt this bill will not get us there — and I look forward to working with my colleagues on legislation that will."[11]
Farm bill
On February 4, 2014, the Democratic controlled Senate approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[12] It passed the Senate with a vote of 68-32. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in if or when prices were to drop.[13] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[13] King voted in favor of the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 16, 2014, the Democratic-controlled Senate approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[14][15] The Senate voted 72-26 for the 1,582 page bill, with 17 Republicans and 55 Democrats voting in favor of the bill.[15] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[16] It included a 1% increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency and left the Affordable Care Act without any drastic cuts. King voted in favor of the bill.[14][15]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[17] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. King voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[18]
Pay during government shutdown
King decided to place his earnings in an escrow account "and will only accept it if federal employees who work during the shutdown are also ultimately compensated for their work," a spokesman said. "In the event they are not, Senator King intends to donate his pay to charities in Maine."[19]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
King voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspend the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[9]
2013 Senate Budget Proposal
King voted for the 2013 Senate Budget Proposal.[9] On March 23, after an all-night debate that ended just before 5 a.m., by a 50 to 49 vote the Democratically controlled Senate approved its first budget in four years. No Republicans voted for the Senate plan, and four Democrats opposed it. All four are from red states and are up for re-election in 2014. King was one of the four Democrats who voted against the budget proposal.[9]
The approved plan is a $3.7 trillion budget for 2014 and would provide a fast track for passage of tax increases, trim spending modestly and leave the government still deeply in the red for the next decade.
The approval of a budget in the Senate began the process of setting up contentious, and potentially fruitless, negotiations with the Republican-controlled House starting in April to reconcile two vastly different plans for dealing with the nation's economic and budgetary problems.
The House plan would have brought the government's taxes and spending into balance by 2023 with cuts to domestic spending even below the levels of automatic across-the-board cuts for federal programs now, and it orders up dramatic and controversial changes to Medicare and the tax code.
The Senate plan differed greatly, and included $100 billion in upfront infrastructure spending to bolster the economy and calls for special fast-track rules to overhaul the tax code and raise $975 billion over 10 years in legislation that could not be filibustered. Even with that tax increase and prescribed spending cuts, the plan approved by the Senate would leave the government with a $566 billion annual deficit in 10 years, and $5.2 trillion in additional debt over that window.
Mexico-U.S. border
King voted against Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[9]
Social Issues
Violence Against Women (2013)
King voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[9]
Climate change and lobsters
On September 18, 2013, King became involved in the climate change debate when he made a speech on the Senate floor regarding changes in water temperature and the migration of lobsters to colder waters because of the changes.[20]
King presented a range of data indicating that global levels of carbon dioxide are reaching a historical tipping point that could raise the levels of the oceans and move water temperatures off the Maine coast high enough to drive lobsters away.[20]
In the speech King said, "The lobster makes up about 70 percent to 80 percent of our fisheries' value, and what's happening in Maine is that as the water gets warmer, the lobsters go north...So this isn't something where we can just say oh, well, we'll do a few little things now and maybe it will be OK, and 100 years from now or 500 years from now somebody else will worry about it. There could be a catastrophic event within years, certainly within decades."[20]
"They were doing great in Rhode Island and Connecticut until the temperature started to kill them off," said King. "We certainly hope it won't happen [in Maine], but there's a danger of a collapse and that's what's happened to our south. The lobster fishery in southern New England has essentially collapsed."[20]
Social Issues
Winter Olympics
On January 19, 2014, King cited security concerns at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games as reason for athletes not to appear at the event in Sochi, Russia.[21][22]
King said: "I would not go, and I don't think I would send my family....It's just such a rich target. It would be a stretch, I think, to say I'd send my family."[21]
King's comments came amid increased concerns from some U.S. officials that Russia did not do enough to combat the possibility of a terrorist attack leading up to the games.[21]
On May 16, 2014, King endorsed two candidates running for Senate in 2014. He endorsed Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) over Scott Brown and Susan Collins (R-ME) in her re-election bid.[23]
Party affiliation
King was an Independent as Governor of Maine, and ran as an Independent in the 2012 election. He announced he will caucus with the Democrats in the 113th Congress.[24]
In April 2014, King announced he would decide after the 2014 midterm elections whether to switch sides and join the Republicans.[2][3]
King ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. Senate, representing Maine. King sought the nomination as an Independent.[25][26][27] He defeated Cynthia Dill (D), Charles Summers (R), Andrew Ian Dodge (L), Danny Francis Dalton and Stephen Woods in the general election on November 6, 2012.[28]

Personal Gain Index
- See also: Personal Gain Index
The aim of the Personal Gain Index (PGI) is to shine a light on how members of the U.S. Congress may benefit from their tenure as public servants. Researchers at the Government Accountability Institute will look at four different metrics pointing to aspects of self-enrichment.
The PGI will consist of the following metrics:
- Net worth
- How much did a member's net worth increase or decrease over a specified period?
- The K-Street metric (coming soon)
- What percentage of a member's staff were previously lobbyists?
- Donation concentration (coming soon)
- What industries are contributing the most to each member?
- Stock trading (coming soon)
- What stocks are each member holding in their portfolio?
PGI: Net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, King's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $5,342,164 and $26,123,995. That averages to $15,733,079.50, which is higher than the average net worth of Independent senators in 2012 of $8,096,792.50. King ranked as the 13th most wealthy senator in 2012.[31] Between 2011 and 2012, King's net worth decreased by 3.8 percent. Between 2004 and 2012, the average increase in the net worth of a congressman was 72.6 percent.

I usually write about technology and gadgets. Anything bright and shiny really gets my attention, so much so, that I have little to no time to read books as most of my reading is confined to trade publications and articles. My children, however, especially my youngest daughter seem to LOVE reading, which is exciting. However, I just got my hands on an advanced copy of new book coming out soon by Scholastic as part of a new series called "Scholastic Discover More." The book that caught my attention in particular was one called "Technology – How today's technology really works" by Clive Gifford.
Targeted towards the "Expert Reader" (ages 9-13), the "Technology" book actually was one of the first books that I have picked up and "read" in quite a long time. I put "read" in quotes because it is actually more of an advanced picture book than a book of literature. However, that doesn't mean that it is better or worse in any way. In fact, the book is not only engaging, but it is truly educational. And, as with books about any type of technology, I would have thought that it would be instantly out of date. In fact, it is pretty current and discusses and breaks down the latest technology trends in easy to understand examples (complete with bright and shiny pictures as well). And, to top it off, each book comes with a unique code that allows you to download a digital companion to it.
The structure of the "Technology" book is unique. For starters, it is broken up in to chapters around certain subjects and within each subject are sub-sections. The primary sections (and some of the sub-sections – I did not list all of them) are: [click to continue…]

Club competitions
National team competitions
17-17, 13-11, 17-18, 19-16
TURNING POINT: On a night that followed a plot full of twists, Karsiyaka's victory was only sealed when first Melvin Sanders and then William Thomas came up with successive big blocks in the final 25 seconds to deny Oldenburg the chance to take anything else but a desperation shot, almost at the buzzer.
GAME HERO: Karsiyaka's bench players, often underrated, played their roles to perfection in a clash with a team that arrived to the Final Four on the strength of its deep rotation and had eight players averaging 7.6 points or more so far in the competition.
STATS DON'T LIE: Karsiyaka's three Turkish players who came off the bench, Caner Topaloglu, Ümit Sonkol and Can Mutaf, contributed 17 points in the clutch while Oldenburg got only three points from their non-starters throughout the entire game, a season-low for the German side.
Final Four hosts Pinar Karsiyaka edged out EWE Baskets Oldenburg 66-62 in front of a jubilant 5,000-strong home crowd on Friday night to book their place in the EuroChallenge Final, where they will face Krasnye Krylia.
The Turkish side prevailed over their German guests in an epic semi-final that advanced in nail-biting fashion as a game of small runs; it featured 15 lead changes, the scores were tied on 11 occasions and neither team led, at any point on the night, by more than five points.
The two teams were tied at 17 at the end of the first quarter, Karsiyaka led 30-28 at half-time, and Ümit Sonkol scored his first points right at the third buzzer, with a tip-in following a missed William Thomas jumper, to make it 47-46 for Karsiyaka going into the final frame.
Sonkol scored again, from beyond the three-point arc, at the start of the fourth quarter to give his team further breathing space, but Dru Joyce sunk a three to bring Oldenburg back within one point, 50-49 and, a couple of wasted possessions later, Rickey Paulding hit a jumper to give the lead back to the Germans, 51-50.
Can Topaloglu drew a foul immediately and hit both free throws to put the hosts back up, 52-51.
It was the most unceremonious lead change in a clash that featured numerous spectacular dunks and big shots from any range, but it was going to be the last lead change in the semi-final.
Karsiyaka maintained a minimum two-point cushion until 25 seconds from the final buzzer when Robert Dixon, who was running down the clock, drew a foul from Christopher Kramer and made both his shots from the charity line to make it 66-62.
The blocks of Sanders and Thomas did the rest to turn this into the final score, as all Oldenburg could manage was a three-point shot from Rickey Paulding at the buzzer, which would have been of no consequence even if it had dropped in.
Karsiyaka's win gives William Thomas, the American-born power forward who has acquired Georgian nationality, the chance to extend his lead as the all-time leading rebounder in the EuroChallenge and also chase third position on the leading scorers table in the history of the competition.
In Friday's semi-final, Thomas finished with 10 points and six points while Dixon had a team-high 18 points and dished out six assists and Jon Diebler chipped in with 11 points, two rebounds and two assists.
Oldenburg big man Adam Chubb led all scorers with 19 points and added a game-high eight rebounds and had 17 points in defeat.
Oldenburg head coach Sebastian Machowski:"In the decisive minutes Pinar Karsiyaka were playing stronger than us. We were not as present in key moments; that's why we deserved to lose. Congratulations to the home team and best of luck for the final."
Oldenburg player Dru Joyce:"It was hard-fought and defense-oriented semi-final, which we lost in the crucial moments."
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica:"This is an important night for us and for Turkish basketball. We felt the pressure of playing on our home court. Our offense was not great today, but we are a good defensive team for these kind of days; we kept a good offensive team to 62 points. I think that we deserve to be here and I hope that we will lift the trophy in front of our fans."
Pinar Karsiyaka player Bora Pacun:"It was important for us to win in front of our fans. We played better on defense than on offense today. We worked hard this season, and now we want to win this cup."

Henry Sherwood "H.S." Blue encouraged children to eat their vegetables in the cafeteria and cheered on the team at every athletic event when he was principal at Reid School.
Assistant Principal Thomas E. Grier used his salary to start a summer camp for underprivileged children who couldn't afford to go otherwise.
The Eta Mu Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. will recognize these two educational leaders Jan. 27 at Love's Chapel Presbyterian Church in Belmont. Blue and Grier were two of the co-founders of the Eta Mu Lambda chapter, which was founded in December 1959. The two men were killed in a car crash in January of 1960 while attending an education conference.
Black children in Belmont, Mount Holly, Cramerton, McAdenville, Gastonia and the surrounding area attended Reid School when the county schools were segregated. Those who attended Reid School — which encompassed elementary, middle and high school — say Blue and Grier made up the backbone of the school and the community.
H.S. Blue
"Mr. Blue was the principal that most of us remembered," said JoAnn Bowens Holmes, who graduated in the Reid High class of 1956. "He used to come through the cafeteria — and we had the best cafeteria food. He used to tell us if we didn't eat our carrots we would not be pretty and have good eyesight. So we all dug in and ate our carrots."
Blue knew every child's name on campus, Holmes said.
"I guess being a child, Mr. Blue was kind of like a giant. But he was just as kind as he could be to each of us," Holmes said. "I never heard Mr. Blue fuss at anybody. But he was a very strong disciplinarian in his own right."
Charles Reid, who attended Reid School until 10th grade when it closed during integration, remembered Mr. Blue getting down on the ground to shoot marbles with the students.
Blue offered an ear to any child who needed someone to listen, said Walter Hand, who graduated from Reid High in 1955.
"He was a father to every child there. Before there was a food program there, Mr. Blue fed every child there, whether you could afford it or not," Hand said. "He was more or less a hero to all of us. If you needed somebody, Mr. Blue was there. Rain, shine, sleet or snow, Mr. Blue was there for you….No child went unnoticed in Mr. Blue's eyes."
Blue served as a football coach before he became principal, said Hand. He kept up with the school's athletic teams and attended every game.
Blue also put on barbecues to help raise money so he could buy the necessary things for the school.
"He was very interested and very vocal and very encouraging about education and encouraged us to go to college. And during his administration, I think more students went to college than ever," said Anne Grier Miller, who graduated from Reid and then came back there to teach.
Thomas E. Grier
Grier taught at Reid before becoming assistant principal.
"I guess you would say he was another Mr. Blue. They just seemed to work together," said Hand. "Mr. Grier, he didn't have any children. So I guess by him being the teacher and stuff, it was just like all of the students were like his children."
Grier opened up a camp for underprivileged children to attend during the summer.
"He would take his money to put in the playground to have equipment to play in," Hand said.
Grier was active in his church at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and in the community.
"Both he and his wife were educators. Like Mr. Blue, even though they were strong in athletics, all of them were very instrumental in encouraging students to go to college and continue their studies even after high school," Miller said. "And they were excellent mentors for our young men and ladies."
All four students said Blue and Grier served as mentors who made the school a success.
"I'm 75-years-old, and I can remember them today just like it was yesterday," Hand said. "You just wouldn't want to meet two nicer people who took care of children."

Thanks to a recent grant award, library users in many southeastern Washington communities soon will be able to bring home books on a lightweight eBook reader.
The grant is named "eREADS in eWA": Encourage Reading, Expanding Access and Device Sharing in Eastern Washington.
The Asotin County Library, Columbia County Rural Library District, Denny Ashby Library (Pomeroy), Neill Public Library (Pullman), Walla Walla Rural Library District and Whitman County Library are partnering to purchase NOOK eReaders, which will be preloaded with the popular content and then made available in those communities beginning October 15th.
Two shared Nooks will be at each library at any one time and will be rotated every two months. eReaders will be loaded with titles specific to the genres of biography, Christian fiction, classics, fantasy, general or literay fiction, historical fiction, readable non-fiction, mystery, science fiction, thrillers and horror, and young adult fiction. There are twelve Nooks between the six libraries.
One of the reasons the partners are offering eReaders to the public is to familiarize patrons with a new electronic format of library material. In addition, it offers patrons the opportunity to discover and understand how an eReader can be used as an individual device for personal use. Staff-chosen material will be downloaded on the devices so patrons can fully experience the eReader. Patrons 18 and over will sign a user borrowing agreement before checking out an eReader. Patrons under 18 will need to co-sign with their parent or guardian.
The six libraries were awarded grants through Connecting Libraries through Resource Sharing, a federal program that encourages cooperation among public libraries in counties where interlocal agreements to share materials do not exist.
"The grant's purpose is to encourage rural libraries to make better use of taxpayers' dollars by rotating and sharing their materials with each other," said Carolyn Petersen, the State Library's assistant program manager for library development. "That benefits the libraries involved and their patrons. This latest grant lets patrons realize that their libraries, while rural, are still technologically up to date."
The Nook Simple Touch is a LSTA grant-funded device courtesy of the Washington State Library and Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The Effects of Gender-typed Toys
Supriya Hobbs and Janna Eaves are painfully aware that they are surrounded by mostly male students in their engineering classes at the University of Illinois. That's part of the reason they're behind the new start-up Miss Possible Inc., a toy company with intentions to manufacture dolls for girls fashioned after historical figures like Marie Curie and Amelia Earhart.
"Most toys, especially dolls, are empty," says Hobbs, "Entrepreneur Barbie wears a suit and has a smart phone; that makes her a CEO?"
This hour on Focus, Scott Cameron talks with Hobbs about the start-up, and why Hobbs and Eaves want girls to be interested in science and technology. We'll also hear from Analisa Russo, part of the company Electroninks, which is bringing a gel pen to draw circuits to market this summer. Isabelle Cherney, a researcher at Creighton University, will tell us how the toys we play can have an effect on our perceived capabilities and our gender identity.
Then, we'll switch gears at the end of the hour when Jake Kuebler of Bluestem Financial Advisors, LLC in Champaign joins us to discuss issues in personal finance.

'Ever since I was a schoolboy I've dreamed about starting at No 5 for the Boks,' says Bekker, who at 27 has played just 24 Tests and started a mere three in this position. 'I understood why I wasn't picked ahead of Victor, but now that he's moved on I want to be running the show. I want to be playing as many Tests as I can. With Victor gone, international rugby is now my primary focus.'
Bekker also talks to SA Rugby magazine about his battles with injury and his own personal demons, Rassie Erasmus's resignation as WP senior professional coach, the next generation of locks in the Cape, and why he will stay loyal to WP and the Stormers.

New album: Lonerism
Artist: Tame Impala
Label: Modular
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Don't let the "Lonerism" album title mislead you, as this is not a collection of po-faced whine-a-thons. The title probably has more to do with the fact that most of this and all Tame Impala products are recorded by group leader Kevin Parker at his home.
Without the restraints of studio time hanging overhead, Parker is able to pull his songs into different sonic territories, while producer David Fridmann molds the sprawling goodness into something even music journalists can comprehend.
A thick, compression-heavy drum sound is featured throughout "Lonerism," causing even the more aggressive tunes (such as the
To the lazy ear, "Lonerism" seems stuck in 1967, but if you dig a little deeper, the influence of modern day masters Beck and Dungen is apparent. Even the sweet-as-sugar melody of "She Just Won't Believe Me" is accompanied by a spooky sci-fi movie keyboard straight out of the Flaming Lips playbook.
With "Lonerism," Parker has managed to avoid the sophomore album jinx by refusing to simply churn out a photocopy of the group's well received debut. The taste of success seems to have loosened up Parker as a writer and as a sonic experimenter, and it'll be interesting to see how the touring version of Tame Impala pulls off the multiple sonic textures achieved here.
No matter how or what they try to accomplish live, fans of the dying art of rock music should catch these guys while they're still around.
Classic album: Best Of
Artist: The Ronettes
Label: Abkco
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
The Ronettes' existence on the national stage was brief but formidable.
Lead vocalist Ronnie Bennett (later Ronnie Spector) along with her sister Estelle and cousin, Nedra Talley, were scooped up by genius producer/eventual lunatic Phil Spector.
Spector's much heralded "Wall of Sound" productions were mono recordings crafted to sound like pop symphonies that could make even the cheapest AM radio sound as if it had otherworldly powers.
When The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" blasted through a few million radios in 1963, it became an instant classic. Ronnie Bennett's distinctive vocals aside, The Ronettes' image wasn't as gentle and pure as most other girl groups.
A hint of the ladies'
Topping "Be My Baby" would prove to be an impossible task, but many timeless pop songs followed in its wake. "The Best Part of Breaking Up," "Walking in the Rain" and "Why Don't They Let Us Fall in Love" followed in quick succession.
All of these songs furthered the original concept of a tough group of pretty girls who could sing like angels or punch you out if you got fresh with them. Between Spector's masterful arrangement/studio prowess and The Ronettes' soulful voices, it would have been tough to get anything less than stellar from this union.
A few nearly-syrupy ballads — "So Young" and "When I Saw You" — don't really fit in with the tougher, anthemic material. That being said, Ronnie Bennett's soaring lead vocal on "So Young" may be the strongest of her recorded career. At least these songs are placed directly in the middle of the album, and it never hurts to show a little diversity.
Ronnie Bennett went on to marry Phil Spector, and years of lunacy ensued. Thankfully, Ronnie eventually got out of the marriage and was pulled back into the public eye in 1986 when she reprised her "Be My Baby" vocal for Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight."
Creating such beautiful music against a backdrop of weirdness gives some of these performances the feel of a David Lynch movie, but like Lynch's best work, these songs are timeless.
No empty nostalgia here; just some tough, good lookin' broads who sang like no one else.

Comments about Shimano Deore XT M756 Disc Hub:
This hub requires no more than the usual maintenance, what I like most is the sound when spining, I think the weight is fair considering the price, although I have always used Mavic not feel much difference between the two brands.
Best Uses
Comments about Shimano Deore XT M756 Disc Hub:
After about 1000miles of fairly hard riding both my front and rear XT M756 hubs are shot. I just need new cones up front, but nobody sells them. I generally take care of my stuff. Had metal shavings in the rear and rust in the front. Rear will not stay tight.
Buy an updated hub that you can still buy parts for and buy the spare parts at the same time
Best Uses
Comments about Shimano Deore XT M756 Disc Hub:
The Shimano XT line has always been a great line to offer near XTR level performance for just a minor bump in price over the LX level.
There's rarely been a "miss" in the XT line-up over the years and each generation improves on the last generation without sacrificing much.
A few things can be assured with XT hubs: they are phenomenally well constructed and sealed, they will last virtually forever if maintained, and they are very easy to work on. I bought a set from Jenson 9 years ago and finally tore them open last winter, assuming the worst after 9 years and many thousands of miles of water, salt, and mud. When I opened them up, the races looked like new and the grease was still semi-transparent. It's hard to argue with that.
Comments about Shimano Deore XT M756 Disc Hub:
I've ridden mine in super muddy east coast races, sandy desert rides, horribly rocky CO singletrack, etc. After 5 years the bearings still turn as smoothly as when new. Only overhauled 3 times in 5 years of hard riding/racing -- most of the time when I overhauled the bearings the grease (Phil Wood of course) looked new. This hub is a phenomenal deal. Only reason not to buy is If you have too much money or care a lot what people think, then buy Chris King or Phil Wood hubs.

What are SARS symptoms and signs?
Reader Stories
Symptoms begin two to seven days after acquiring the virus. Initially, the illness resembles influenza and lasts for up to one week. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and poor appetite; nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are less common. This period is followed by a syndrome suggesting atypical pneumonia, including dry cough and progressively worsening to severe shortness of breath (dyspnea) and inability to maintain oxygenation (hypoxia). Progression may be rapid or it may take several days. Severely affected people develop a potentially fatal form of respiratory failure, known as adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARD or ARDS). In addition to the attacking the alveoli in the lungs, the virus also infects other organs in the body, causing kidney failure, inflammation of the heart sac (pericarditis), or severe systemic bleeding from disruption of clotting system (disseminated intravascular coagulation), reduced lymphocyte cell counts (lymphopenia), inflammation of the arteries (vasculitis), and inflammation of the gut with diarrhea. People with compromised immune systems such as severe rheumatoid arthritis or organ transplantation may not experience respiratory symptoms but can have fever or diarrhea.

Callaway RAZR X Irons RAZR X Hybrids Combo Set
Product Overview
Win with Power and Precision. Tighter Shots. Shorter Putts. Lower Scores.
Looking for the best performance and playability without spending the extra money on both irons and hybrids? Then look no further than Callaway's RAZR X Irons/Hybrid Combo sets.
Other irons are made with one out of three benefits — Distance, Forgiveness or Feel — in mind, but they don't focus on a combination that will result in hitting more greens. Golfers should be able to make great shots from everywhere on the course, especially if a lower score is the goal. RAZR Technology is the advancement that golfers are looking for. It is the next generation iron that incorporates the distance and forgiveness expected in a wide sole iron with the turf interaction and playability normally only found in a thin sole iron.
RAZR X Irons
- RAZR Technology: Gives better shot-making ability with a center of gravity that is 12% lower and 15% deeper. This results in an iron that is forgiving like a wide sole iron but still gives playability and precision expected in a thin sole iron.
- VFT® Power System: Callaway engineers use our clubface/undercut cavity system to put the CG in the perfect place on the face of each iron, which results in higher ball speeds.
- Set Options: Also available in standard RAZR X Irons including long irons instead of hybrids, and RAZR X Irons/RAZR X Tour Hybrids Combo Set including RAZR X Tour Hybrids.
RAZR X Hybrids
- Zero Roll Design: The zero roll clubface ensures that low shots result in a higher launch angle, which means more distance and a softer landing.
- Aggressive VFT® Technology: Callaway engineers shape the face thickness in every club to make a bigger sweet spot that leads to hot ball speeds and more distance.
- Inertia Driven Design: Increased head size of the standard model creates better forgiveness, producing shots that fly higher, longer and straighter.
- Standard Models: Square the clubface on impact with the offset hosel and boost confidence with a look at address.
