Northampton coach George Privott thought he had the talent to get here — if he could find a way to make the players who'd grown up rivals meld their skills on the football field, which he and his staff obviously accomplished.
No longer are there Northampton East and Northampton West. There's only Northampton, which is 11-2 and headed to Southwest (11-1) on Friday night to take on the Stallions in the third round of the NCHSAA 1-AA playoffs at The Corral.
As he watched players from both East and West join forces in 7-on-7 summer league workouts, Privott felt the divide was already being erased, and he liked his team's chances heading into the first year of the merger.
"They all pretty much knew each other from competing against each other. I think a lot of people felt like it was not going to work with the two schools coming together (because) we were pretty much rivals," Privott said. "But once I saw the guys getting along — and there's so much talent from both schools — my staff and I brought it together.
"People in the community would ask how the kids were getting along and I would tell them, 'You come out and watch practice for yourself. You wouldn't be able to tell one team from the other team from the past years.'"
Winning certainly helps, although the Jaguars split their first two games, picking up a 58-0 road victory at Kestrel Heights to open the season before losing at home to Plymouth 32-2. How, Privott was asked, could a team averaging 41 points a game be held to a safety?
"That's a good question," he said. "We fumbled four times on the 1-yard line, and one time a drive stalled on the 5. So we were inside of the 10 four times and came away with no points. The last one that we fumbled on the 1-yard line they got it and we got them for a safety."
Not a great night.
"No," he said. "I didn't get no sleep that night."
Privott's been sleeping better lately as the Jaguars have won 10 of their last 11, with the lone loss to Bertie 48-42 on Oct. 19.
It hasn't exactly been easy, however. Northampton, which won the Tar Roanoke Conference with a 5-0 mark, has won its last three games by a total of 24 points, including a 34-27 win over Goldsboro last Friday night.
Of the Cougars' four touchdowns, one came on a kickoff return, one on a punt return and a third after a kickoff return to the Northampton 6.
"So 21 of those 27 points I would say we gave them," Privott said.
But the Jaguars are equally dangerous on special teams. Brian Lassiter, a 5-foot-11, 191-pound senior, has returned four kickoffs for touchdowns and three punts to the end zone. He also happens to lead the team in rushing with 929 yards and 17 TDs.
He also is averaging 10.9 yards a carry out of the team's wishbone-oriented attack that can morph into a shotgun-spread attack, flex-bone and empty backfield sets, Privott said.
"Lassiter is pretty much our leader," Privott said. "Even though I spread it around in the backfield a lot, he's usually the one that can take it to the house on any given play."
Privott is just glad Lassiter isn't back at his house, which could have been the case after a serious injury last year.
"I've got several guys that are fortunate to be back playing this year," Privott said. "Brian actually suffered a facemask last year that eventually led to him having three fracture vertebrae in his neck. So for him to come back this year and do as well as he's doing it's amazing."
Also, quarterback Keion Crossen and running backs Tyshon Boone and Tyrell Powell suffered season-ending injuries last season.
"So pretty much my entire starting backfield were all injured and had early season-ending injuries last year," Privott said.
All, however, have recovered and are key components on both sides of the ball for the Jaguars. Crossen leads the team with three interceptions at cornerback while also having passed for 425 yards and 5 touchdowns and rushed for 746 yards and 12 scores.
Defensively, Privott said the Jaguars will run a 5-2-4 or 5-3-3 scheme as well as a 4-3-4 or a "stacked" 3-3-5 alignment, "depending on what the other team is giving us."
As he looked ahead to his team's first meeting ever with Southwest, Privott was asked why kind of game he expected.
"Pretty high scoring," he replied. "I feel like if we can slow the game down a little and play our game, we'll be OK. If we play mistake-free football and all three teams — special teams, defense and offense — play well, I think we can keep it close."

It's no secret that style is a global phenomenon, so we've created a fashion map to show you the hottest trends all over the world
With iPhones and GPS, who really uses maps anymore? They're practically obsolete, but here at Beauty Riot, we're bringing the map back. Well, the fashion map, that is. The fact is, style is global; it exists all over the world, not just in certain fashion capitals. And while a desire to express yourself through fashion is universal, the specifics and details change depending where in the world you are.
Click here to see our ultimate fashion map.
We checked in with top international fashion bloggers to get the scoop on their city's style. What did we find? Gladiator sandals are big in Serbia, and mixing prints is huge in the Philippines, but pretty much no matter where you live, everybody shops at Zara. It's kind of nice to know there are some things that connect fashionistas across the continents.
And if you plan on adding a few more stamps to your passport and find yourself visiting these chic cities, use this fashion map as your personal travel guide. Not only did these on-trend bloggers let us in on what's hot, but they also pinpointed where to eat and explore while in their hometowns.

When first-year teacher Danielle Stallings walks into her classroom at Moss Hill Elementary School on Monday she will have a feeling of déjà vu. For Stallings, the first day of school marks returning home to the same hallways she walked as a child.
Stallings was raised in Lenoir County and attended Moss Hill Elementary School. It was during her time there that she knew she teaching would be her career.
"I've always wanted to be a teacher since I was a kindergartener at Moss Hill," Stallings said.
When it was time to go off to college, Stallings made the 250-mile trek to enroll at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory. She was a member of the North Carolina Teaching Fellows, a state-funded program designed to keep new teachers in the state by paying for a portion of their tuition. In exchange, the student agrees to teach in teach in the Tar Heel state for the first few years of their career.
Upon graduation in May, Stallings left Lenoir-Rhyne with degrees in elementary education, kindergarten through 12th grade special education and kindergarten through 12th grade hard of hearing.
While she also applied for teaching positions in Greene County, Stallings said her goal was to obtain employment at Moss Hill. When she received the job offer, it was for her dream position.
Moss Hill Principal Susan Glover said Stallings excitement is contagious and is thrilled to have Stallings on the staff.
Glover is not the only one excited by the new teacher's arrival. Melody Vogt, who has been teaching for 32 years, taught Stallings when she was in third grade — and is happy to see her again.
"It's very rewarding to see her come back," Vogt said.
Stallings is an exceptional children resource teacher and will have between 30-35 students coming in and out of her classroom on a daily basis. Along with a teaching assistant, she will be responsible for kids who need some extra help with their schoolwork.
She expressed mixed emotions about her first day.
"I'm going to be nervous, but really excited to meet my students," Stallings said.
Many new teachers don't often get a job at their proffered location right away. However, in the case of Stallings, she was able to land her dream job and wouldn't have it any other way.
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world," Stallings said.

Lying, Truth, and Truthfulness
Is it ever all right to lie? Are there times in public and private life when lying is acceptable? Dr. Sissela Bok has examined the moral questions raised by lying in government, medicine, law, academia, journalism, within families, and among friends. In her book Lying (1978), Dr. Bok thoughtfully examines the phenomenon of lying from antiquity until the present. She explores the moral questions raised by lying and the justifications offered for telling lies.
As a philosopher, Dr. Bok has written several books and numerous articles for books and journals on topics ranging from euthanasia and abortion, to non-violence and to ethics in education.
Dr. Bok received her Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard University after earning an M.A. in clinical psychology from George Washington University. In addition to her current position as professor of philosophy at Brandeis University, Dr. Bok is the member of the Advisory Council for the Institute for Global Ethics and several other national and international organizations.
Dr. Sissela Bok's appearance at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
We hope you will join us for a probing examination of "Lying, Truth, and Truthfulness."
United States and Russian Cooperation: The Next Phase in Space Research
The Athenaeum is proud to present Franklin Chang-Diaz, one of the mission specialists for an upcoming space shuttle flight, which will include a Russian cosmonaut as a crewmember.
Dr. Chang-Diaz has flown three previous shuttle flights, most recently on Mission 46 last August. This mission was designed to deploy the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) and conduct the first Tethered Satellite System (TSS) test flight. In 1989 Dr. Chang-Diaz was flight engineer aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis during a mission that saw the deployment of the Galileo spacecraft on its journey to explore Jupiter. In 1986 he participated in a flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia, during which he aided in the deployment of a satellite and conducted experiments in astrophysics. Dr. Chang-Diaz has logged more than 457 hours in space.
Born in San Jose, Costa Rica, Dr. Chang-Diaz was educated at the University of Connecticut. He received a doctorate in applied plasma physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology He was selected by NASA in 1980 and became an astronaut in 1981. From October 1984 to August 1985, he was leader of the astronaut support team at the Kennedy Space Center.
Politics, Markets, and America's Schools
For a decade, Americans have debated how to best reform the failing school system. In recent years, school choice has emerged as a promising but controversial market-based approach to change. Under a choice plan, parents would receive educational vouchers applicable to a school of the parents' choosing, public or private. Terry Moe, one of the nation's leading proponents of school choice, will speak on why this method of reform is the only way to improve America's schools.
Professor Moe co-authored the landmark institutional study of America's school system, entitled Politics, Markets, and America's Schools (1990), and emerged as one of the leading proponents of school choice.
In addition to teaching political science at Stanford, Professor Moe has also served on the faculty of Michigan State University and as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. His research centers around American political institutions.
Old Politics or New? Race and International Relations in the 1990s
TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1993 12:15 p.m.
The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is beginning a new series at noon time called "Faculty Focus." Starting off the series and the new year, Dr. P. Edward Haley will provide a global and national outlook as he discusses "Old Politics or New? Race and International Relations in the 1990s."
Professor Haley's scholarly focus on international relations makes him a most appropriate speaker to address the emerging concerns of the 1990s. His most recent book, Overtaken by Events: George Bush and the World, 1989-1993, focuses on foreign policy during the Bush administration. In his book Haley asserts that success in foreign policy depends on the greater national welfare. He discusses the goal of a "domestic consensus on the appropriate ends and means of government that will allow the American people to get on with solving the problems they share with one another in constructive and humane ways without having obvious alternatives denied on narrow ideological grounds."
Professor Haley is senior research associate for the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies and professor of international relations at CMC. He is an International Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations and a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. He has written and edited several books on nuclear control as well as books on Qaddafi and the United States Since 1969 (1984) and Congress and the Fall of South Vietnam and Cambodia (1982).
Lunch is served at noon; Professor Haley speaks at 12:15 p.m.
Race Relations and Political Empowerment
How do we empower disenfranchised members of society? Bong Hwan Kim has worked to foster social change in the Korean-American community by focusing on the youth. He is the Executive Director of the Korean Youth Center (KYC) in Los Angeles. Under his leadership, KYC has participated in coalitions with African-American and Latino organizations to begin addressing the interracial hostilities that continue to plague our youth. Recently, for example, he helped to mediate an altercation at Granada Hills High School between Korean and African-American youths and organized a multiracial youth conference to address racism and prejudice.
Additionally, Mr. Kim has helped to improve many other area of the Korean community. With his help, a commercial real estate project was built for eight Korean businesses; in December 1993, an affordable housing project will be completed for 19 Korean families. He also assisted in the design and development of a multi-ethnic senior citizens center.
As a member of the committee to Rebuild Los Angeles, Mr. Kim is in a position to provide valuable insight into the manner in which the community of Los Angeles is facing up to its problems and planning for the future.
Year of the Rooster, Dahan Tiensen Chinese Culture Club
The Athenaeum has planned a splendid evening in celebration of the Chinese New Year, "The Year of the Rooster." Following a meal of delicious Chinese cuisine, guests will move to McKenna Auditorium for a performance of scenes from Chinese opera in the traditional style of Peking Opera.
The traditional Chinese opera consists of singing, acting, reciting, and fighting and is accompanied by gongs, drums, strings, and bamboo flutes. The dances and unique costumes of this complex form of stage art make for an exciting evening of theater.
The Dahan Tiensen Chinese Culture Club, which is presenting this opera, was formed in Taiwan twenty years ago by professional and amateur musicians. The group made its American debut in 1981 and has toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe.
Special thanks to Karen Rosenbaum for her assistance in arranging this event.
Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration
The Athenaeum presents Dr. Kwame Ture (formerly known as Stokely Carmichael) as the Martin Luther King Jr. birthday speaker. His more than 20 years of political experience have given him an understanding of the trends, ideas, and progress of democratic and human rights movements across the globe.
Dr. Ture is a political activist, scholar, and traveler of the world. He was a leading organizer in the Civil Rights, Black Power and Pan African movements in the 1960s. Dr.Ture has lectured at universities around the country and throughout Africa and the Middle East, including the University of Liberia and the University of Sudan.
Kwame Ture presents and persuasively argues for a fundamentally different philosophy, objective, and strategy for solving the complex problems affecting African and other oppressed people throughout the world. He is an organizer for the All-African People's Revolutionary Party which has been building across college campuses.
We hope you'll join us for what promises to be a challenging and dynamic talk!
Los Angeles and Beyond: A Journalist's Perspective
Ruben Martinez, senior editor of the LA. Weekly, will offer his perspective on the causes and implications of the Los Angeles riots as the Athenaeum's series on that topic continues into the second semester.
Mr. Martinez, along with other LA. Weekly writers, received the Greater Los Angeles Press Club Certificate of Excellence for their coverage of the aftermath of Rodney King's beating.
Mr. Martinez co-hosts KCET-TV's public affairs program "Life and Times," is a contributing editor for Mas Magazine in the United States, La Pusmoderna in Mexico City, and the bilingual music review El Acordeon, and is a correspondent for Pacific News Service.

The Los Angeles Riots: What Lies Ahead?
Continuing the series on the Los Angeles riots, the Athenaeum is very pleased to welcome state Senator Diane Watson. Senator Watson will discuss the root the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, the current status of the Los Angeles community, and her projections for the future of Los Angeles.

Of special interest to the CMC community, Senator Diane Watson is the aunt of Will Watson '93, ASCMC president.
The Pursuit of Happiness: Who is Happy-and Why?
What is happiness and how can we attain it? Does happiness favor those of a particular age or sex? Does it come with being young or old? How important are friendships? marriage? work? spirituality? It seems that the vast amount of studies of depression, anxiety, and stress have overshadowed the study of satisfaction, positive mood, and well-being.
In his latest book, David Myers reports on the new scientific search for joy and how these discoveries inform our own personal quest for happiness. Dr. Myers' book stimulates reflection on both personal priorities and how we can create a world better designed to enhance human well-being.
A social psychologist, Dr. Myers is an award-winning teacher at Michigan's Hope College and recipient of the Gordon Allport Prize for his experiments on group influence, research funded by the National Science Foundation. He is the author of nine books, including Psychology (1989), the most widely studied text in the field.

The foundation for the Activiti Designer is the Eclipse Graphiti project (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=modeling.gmp.graphiti). We currently use Graphiti 0.7.0 RC1.
For the implementation of the BPMN 2.0 specification we use the BPMN 2.0 metamodel implementation for Eclipse (http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-BPMN2).
Note that the Activiti BPMN 2.0 Eclipse Designer is work in progress at the moment and you may run into bugs. We welcome any feedback to improve the Activiti Designer!
We currently don't have a released version out yet.
But.... You can of course try the Activiti BPMN 2.0 Eclipse Designer by working with the source code, just look for the 3 plug-in projects in the Activiti SVN at http://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/projects/designer/.
And it's even easier to just copy the 3 jars available in http://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/projects/designer/test/ to the dropins directory of a Eclipse Helios distribution which has the following installation:
- Download Eclipse Helios for RCP and RAP developers
- Install the EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK available in the Helios download packages under Modeling in the "Install new software" section of Eclipse.
- Install Graphiti RC1 by using the following update site http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.7.0RC1
- Exit Eclipse
- Copy the 3 jars in http://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/projects/designer/test/ to the dropins directory of your Eclipse installation directory
- Start Eclipse
You should now be able to create your first Activiti Eclipse project:
When the Activiti project is created you can now add new BPMN 2.0 diagram by choosing "new" when standing on the newly created Activiti project and you should see the following pop-up.
And when you finish this wizard a blank BPMN 2.0 diagram is ready for use. Right now the following functionality is supported:
- BPMN 2.0 constructs Start event, End event, Sequence flow, Script task, User task, Service task, Parallel gateway. We also have work-in-progress support for sub processes.
- Export of BPMN 2.0 XML by right clicking on the diagram and choosing Export - Save to BPMN 2.0.
- Automatic creation of developer friendly ids for BPMN 2.0 constructs.
- Property sheets for all supported BPMN 2.0 constructs, but script and user task in specific, because you can edit additional fields.
- To open and edit a sub process, drag one into your process diagram and double-click it to open a new editor where you can model the sub process.
And as an example, the following screenshot shows a bit of what's currently possible with the Activiti BPMN 2.0 Eclipse Plugin.
Have fun and please provide some early feedback!

Any Pros using Flickr?
I've been using SmugMug for 5 years now and in all that time, I realized that I never really focused on selling prints. I've had maybe 5 or 6 orders ever and that's ok. It's never been my priority and it's not how I make my income. My priority now is to get my photos seen.
Smugmug recently doubled their prices from $150yr to $300. It made me reconsider whether I should keep it. Flickr is built into Aperture so it would be easy to share and manage my photos. Also, Flickr appears to be a much more community oriented website with a lot of photographers and sharing going on.
I used to use Flickr years ago but it kind of fell by the wayside back then. It recently got a lot of buzz for its new iOS app but has the Flickr community remained vibrant or have users migrated to Facebook like I suspect?

I'm definitely not a pro but want to comment because I recently made the move in the opposite direction to SmugMug from Flickr. The main reasons for the move was the ability to customize to my liking, unlimited uploads and price.
I signed-up for a "Power" account (no provisions to sell) for $60.00/year and I paid $45.00 with an on-line coupon. For me, that seemed quite reasonable and I'm being realistic that there is no market for my shots.
If you're really not selling photos, why have a costly "Business" account? You'd have to sell a lot of photos to justify the $240.00/year cost difference.
|Feb 18, 2013, 09:11 AM
I ended up going for a duel system for now. I kept my SmugMug account but lowered the tier to $150 which I'm surprised isn't missing any of the features I used anyway. I also opened a Flickr account and purchased the Pro option.
Both together ended up being less than the now $300 SmugMug subscription. I do the occasional wedding and/or family event so being able to sell prints might come in handy. I'll assess it over the year.
I'm going to redo my website to show a Flickr slideshow, not the one from SmugMug. While Smug allows you to customize the look of the site entirely, I prefer to design my own site and include the elements I want. Also, it's going to be much easier to manage my daily uploads with a built in Flickr sync in Aperture.
A big advantage of Flickr is that Getty Images uses it to search for photos to license. This could be a great avenue for networking and for getting my photos seen by more people.

Can someone explain to me what exactly you get from SmugMug that is worth $150-300 per year? I know nothing about the site, so I'm really in the dark here. What can they possibly provide that is worth that amount of money? Why not just set up a Wordpress site and choose a good hosting provider for it? You can have a site hosted for about $50/year, and you can get nice Wordpress themes for free or for nominal one-time fees. So what does SmugMug have to offer over that route?

Zenfolio is a nice portfolio site for photography and they have pro options with online sales, too. Most of these operations seem to double their prices when sales are included. A portfolio on Zenfolio maxes out at $60 and the sale option jumps it to $120. If you want to show your stuff their are a lot of options. If you are serious about sales, do what Madam P suggests. You can have a killer sit built for what SmugMug is asking.
If you want to spread your name around, just open an account on 500px and let the Pinterest uses do that for you.

I don't know about Zenfolio, but SmugMug also has an online community forum for photographers and photo website development that is quite helpful.
For a hobbyist like me, $45 to $60/year is reasonable. If this were a business venture, I would carefully research all options.
|Feb 20, 2013, 11:32 AM
I don't offer prints for sale on Flickr, but I do have a pro membership. I have been able to sell some of my work to ad companies who have contacted me. Plus, I like the entire Flickr community as a whole. For a hobbyist like myself, it's well work the $45/year.

I'm impressed with what Zenfolio offers. I'm not saying they'll drive traffic to your site, but as Dale mentions, ease of set-up and use can't be beat, great aesthetics for viewing photos, they keep upgrading (now offering video hosting), and the options for sales, in a variety of formats and products is impressive.
I'd like to set up a Flicker acc'nt for the reasons you mention, but only so many hours in a day...

The only thing I would seriously suggest people research here apart from $ value is about the colour profile demands of the hosting services. If you are working in a 16 bit ProPhoto RGB environment in Photoshop, why would you want to lose that quality when you send it off to be printed?
SmugMug demands you use sRGB profile on your pictures, 500px allows you to use ProPhoto RGB, but has zero personalisation features for your site. I haven't looked at any other services, but did find this interesting that SmugMug forces this on you.
Of course, if you follow Phrasikleia's advice, you may well be able to keep it all as ProPhoto RGB colour profile too, depending on the printing services you link up with.
That's something with which I am still investigating as I'm a million miles from selling my pictures yet.

The problem with customization, though, is that it does require a lot more of your time at the beginning to get set up. For people who are not tinkerers or don't want to hire a web designer, something like SmugMug makes a lot more sense.

I'm on a SmugMug Power as well. All I want from a service is:
1 - Unlimited photos
2 - My own page layout
3 - My own domain name
4 - Ability to publish directly from Lightroom
There are not a lot of providers I found that are able to satisfy all four. Only ones I found were SmugMug and Zenfolio. SmugMug is faster for my location, so that's what it became. For what they offer and the reliability of their service, that $60/yr is more than worth it for me.
I could run it of my own web server, but bulk uploading from Lightroom proves to be difficult for most gallery software I have seen.

Putting that on my hosting provider, would jack the cost of my hosting into the stratosphere (where are you finding $50/year hosting? hopefully, not GoDaddy).
Flickr does not let you link to any commercial websites. If you attempt to sell prints via flickr, they can use it as grounds to immediately delete your account (and have done so, in the past). Furthermore, Flickr automatically drops the "nofollow" tag into any links in photo captions, so it does nothing to boost SEO results.
Furthermore, for someone like me, who needs large numbers of photos to be "hidden" from the public and from respective clients, flickr is not an option, as it doesn't offer fine-grain controls over whom can see what.
Finally, Flickr's photo-resizing package absolutely murders image quality. Exposures typically darken by 1/3 stop and contrast is boosted by half-a-grade. This is the primary reason why so many are flocking to 500px.
I'm not 100% thrilled with SmugMug, especially after the price hikes, but they seem about the best option of what's out there. (The fine print of Zenfolio's terms of use allow them to appropriate your photographs (including non-public images) for their own commercial use -- it sounds unlikely, but I know a photographer who was shocked to see a photo from a client's private photo proof gallery on a Zenfolio banner ad on a 3rd-party website.)

You, however, seem to have some rather niche needs, if you need to present such a large library of images. It's good to hear that SmugMug can accomodate that kind of volume for a good price. I really would have no idea what the options are for someone in your position: I have neither the need for that kind of volume nor any knowledge of what SmugMug provides versus the competition.

I came here looking for suggestions myself, and I honestly think that Squarespace actually has extremely beautiful layouts for decent monthly or yearly prices with a bunch of customization that's up to today's easy standards. Can anyone weigh in?

A happy Zenfolio customer
I have been using Zenfolio for the past couple of years and I am very happy with it. One of my friends that is a pro photographer uses it for client proofs and also has a separate web site that is, I believe, built using Wordpress. I wasn't aware of the ToS issue mentioned by an earlier poster so I will have to check that out - it is worrisome.
Good luck in your decision!

I'm on the basic account of smugmug and I've been with them for years - I'm very happy. You do get a lot for the money. At least I do for the 40 bucks. I may up my account to the power one so I can use my own domain but in all actuality I use smugmug as a repository of my images for my family and friends.
In a way facebook (much lower res) has replaced a lot of the functionality of smugmug for me and I've been questioning the account but as I said I do get a lot for the money.
I see a lot of people using Flickr but since I don't make money off my images, its hard to say which is better.

Hear No Evil
Hear No Evil (Mass Market Paperback)
An American officer has been murdered on the base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and his soon-to-be-accused killer, the dead mans wife, wants Miami criminal attorney Jack Swyteck to represent her. Swyteck knows nothing about military law, and he can sense that the hypnotically beautiful Lindsey Hart is a liar, a blackmailer, and possibly worse. But if he doesnt agree to defend her, he will never get to see his biological son, a child Swyteck never knew existed. Taking on the might of the U.S. military legal machine on hostile foreign soil could prove to be far more than a bad career move, because the shocking, sordid truth will take no prisoners. And no one, especially Jack Swyteck, will escape unscathed.

Maple is the most common skateboard material. Maple is very durable and reliable. The maple construction creates a very solid, thick set up that will last an extremely long time, even through the hardest of skateboarding.
Bamboo skateboards are becoming more and more popular. The bamboo material offers more flex than that of maple. This material is perfect for cruising and carving the streets because it lightweight and has lots of flex. Much thinner than a maple deck, a bamboo board is great for transportation.

Carbon fiber is the most expensive material for a longboard skateboard. With a foam core to lighten the weight, carbon fiber boards are designed to help you push off the start line faster and move effortlessly around turns and slides. More often than not, you will see experienced riders using carbon fiber skateboards.
The majority of people use a longboard as a means of transportation around town, making cruising and carving the streets the most popular form of longboarding today. Longboards tend to make carving streets much easier, because they provide a rider with greater weight distribution on the skateboard deck. This form of riding is focused more on getting from point A to point B, rather than speed.
View our collection of Cruiser Longboard Skateboards.
Downhill racing is not for beginners. You can reach extremely high speeds when boarding, and wipeouts are "the normal." Downhill skateboards tend to be flat and have long wheel bases to provide for greater stability. When selecting a downhill board, it is important to choose a deck that is stable at high speeds and doesn't offer a lot of flex. As a reminder, it is vital that you wear protective gear when doing downhill racing. Not just a skateboard helmet, but protective skateboard pads as well.

Boardwalking is a popular freestyle skating, where a rider can do tricks and maneuver well on the skateboard deck. These longboards are typically between 40" and 60" in length and have a concave center with a kick tail or nose.

While the Patriots took advantage of a few opportunities and missed a few others,
It was
"Our kids played really hard. They played with a lot of effort," Patriots coach Henry Trevathan said. "We didn't play good, at times, but we knew were climbing into the ring with a heavyweight."
Multi-threat quarterback Johnathan Lloyd accounted for most of those yards, rushing for 58 and throwing for 89. He completed 10 of 25 passes and was under constant pressure from a Pirates defense that often brought at least five pass rushers.
"Page brought a lot of pressure, a lot of stunts and blitz," Lloyd said.
Even when the Pirates brought their safeties up to the line, Lloyd said it was just a matter of not being able to complete downfield passes.
"We tried to make them loosen up a little bit by throwing a couple deep balls," Lloyd said. "But … I didn't play up to par on handling the blitz."

A few swings of momentum in the first few minutes of the second quarter erased what could have been a key moment for
On the first play of the second quarter, the Patriots stopped the Pirates on a fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line. But, backed up against his goal line, Lloyd sprinted right and was stripped in the end zone. The Pirates' Grant Brewer recovered inside the 1-yard line.
"It was a pass play, and I went to flip my hips, turn my shoulder so I could throw it and he knocked the ball out of my hand," Lloyd said of the play.
Still, the

"It's disappointing to get the ball down on the 2 and not get it in the end zone," Trevathan said.

BURBANK, Calif. — Three-dimensional experiences are taking over the film experience at movie theaters in 2009 and Disney Interactive Studios is leading the way in video games by introducing innovative stereoscopic 3-D features in two of its premier games this summer. G-Force and Toy Story Mania! both feature revolutionary innovative experiences using 3-D technology and are the first games for next-generation systems to fully feature three-dimensional stereoscopic technology.
G-Force and Toy Story Mania! allow the player to choose to turn on special 3-D features in the games while wearing the enclosed 3-D glasses. Using the anaglyphic 3-D glasses, players will see the action extend forward from their television screens in a three-dimensional perspective while playing the games. Two sets of 3-D glasses will be enclosed in each package for players to experience visuals that seem to pop out from their television sets. The glasses enable both players to experience 3-D during a two-player Toy Story Mania! game or for an accompanying family member to view that perspective in G-Force. Both standard video game 3-D graphics and the stereoscopic 3-D experiences are offered in the games and can be changed by the player.

Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, and in addition to lectures this course involves extensive fieldwork, practical work and tutorials.
100% of our students think that our staff are good at explaining things 2014 National Student Survey
You will have access to a comprehensive support system throughout your time here that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues.

Video transcript here
As a single honours student, you will spend approximately 80 days in the field during your degree. On the Geology and Physical Geography or Palaeobiology and Palaeoenvironments programmes you will spend approximately 40 days in the field.
Because it is such an important part of our programmes, fieldwork is arranged with the majority undertaken during term time. In each of the first two terms, a full week is dedicated to field studies and associated work. Many fieldtrips are residential, visiting a variety of locations such as Pembrokeshire, the Scottish Highlands and southern Spain.
During these courses you will receive rigorous training in field techniques, including both group and individual work, and your confidence, ability and experience in the subject will grow with each successive piece of fieldwork.
Field training at Birmingham culminates in a project which involves up to six weeks field work in an area of your choice. You will work in areas adjacent to those of your classmates and share accommodation, usually in the UK, but may also find yourself working abroad. In recent years, our students have undertaken projects in countries as diverse as Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Romania and the USA. Part of this work takes place in term-time at the end of your second year. The data and resulting report form a significant part of your final degree.
Our students find fieldwork particularly enjoyable. In addition to the obvious geological benefits, it provides you with an opportunity to get to know your fellow students and staff and so feel at home in our friendly department.
Find out more about fieldwork costs and funding.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching at school or college. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with your subject and find things out for yourself. We will support you in making this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
In addition to lectures, our degrees in Geology involve extensive fieldwork, practical work and tutorials. You'll be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You can expect to take examinations, make oral presentations, as well as carry out regular project work, practical and field-based exercises.
During your first year you will undergo a formal transition review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you may need support. Your personal tutor who is based in the School can help with any academic issues you encounter.
At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done.
The education you will receive by studying our programme, with an emphasis on rigorous observation, data collection and interpretation, means that job prospects for you as an Earth Sciences graduate are excellent.

2012/13 Destination of Leavers from Higher Education survey (DLHE) - The DLHE survey is conducted 6 months after graduation
Surveys of recent graduates have shown that significantly more of our graduates gain employment in geology and geology-related areas than those of other UK universities. Geology careers are extremely diverse, with students going into a wide range of professions. Increasing numbers of our graduates are employed in environmental planning, land remediation hydrogeology and pollution control. Opportunities in some fields, notably the oil and minerals industries, vary from year to year. Other employers include the British Geological Survey (BGS), local authorities, museums, government organisations and engineering and construction companies. Other graduates decide on a career in teaching either from primary right through to further education. Many students go on to careers around the world in locations including Australia, New Zealand and Canada - many also choose to stay in the UK of course!

RICHARD FERGUSON reports on the Rebels securing four points in the Super Rugby season opener.
The Rebels took advantage of the Force's poor discipline to win 30 – 23 after trailing 10 – 11 at half time.
The Force got off to a fantastic start, running out an eleven point lead in the opening half hour of the game. With the amount of possession and territory the Force had, they would have been disappointed to only score one try through Alfie Mafi.
Scott Higginbotham was yellow carded on debut for punching and the Force managed to score 8 points with the one man advantage. Higginbotham returned to the field of play and helped push a rolling maul over the line, Ged Robinson falling on the ball.
There was a reverse of fortune in the second half as first Chris Alcock and then Alby Mathewson was yellow carded, the Force having to play with thirteen men for seven minutes. The Rebels used this advantage to score their third try through Richard Kingi and get a healthy lead, before the Force hit back with a try of their own while still being a man down, Richard Brown scoring the try.
The Force will be disappointed that they lost this match, their goal kicking and discipline costing them this match. On the contrary, James O'Connor converted all his kicks to score half the team's points. The Force are still without a win in the opening round of a Super Rugby season.
This Australian derby was far from the dull and boring that we had to sit through in 2012 and is a positive start to the new season.

Bessy was suffering. The 7-year-old German shepherd was in advanced liver failure and losing function in her back end.
It was a warm January day and Kelly was acting like a puppy. Surprisingly agile, the 100-pound, 12-year-old mixed breed dog hopped on the couch, looking for a little attention, before heading off to play in the yard with her friend Chuck, a 14-year-old Boxer mix.
The holidays can be a festive, yet hectic time of year. For pets, the whirlwind of activity and distracted humans can present a prime opportunity to get into mischief or worse.
Mark Benson of Canyon Country had just finished taking his family's newly adopted dog Gunny for a walk when it happened. As Benson went to take off his shoes on the front porch of his home, Gunny slipped out of his harness.
SueAnn O'Connor of Valencia has had a lot of dogs in her life, but never one quite like Lulu.
Maverick has spent several months at Advanced Care Animal Care Center in Canyon Country, but the senior cat is far from sick. He's looking for a new home and veterinarian/owner Amanda Gillen felt her office was a good place to start.
Blooming flowers and blossoming plants signal the start of spring across the Santa Clarita Valley. The season has been known to trigger environmental allergies not just in people, but for their pets, as well.
While the owners are away, the dogs will play.
Dogs may be man's best friend, but cats are the most popular pets in America. According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are approximately 86.4 million owned cats in the United States versus 78.2 million dogs.
It was a lovely summer evening in the Santa Clarita Valley, much too nice to leave her four-legged best friend at home while she enjoyed a meal alfresco. That's why Laura Chesler recently brought along her dachshund Ella to the Valencia Lazy Dog Café to dine with friends.
As many pet owners know, spaying or neutering is the proven method of preventing unwanted births. What many might not know is that spaying and neutering also provides health and behavioral benefits that add to the quality of life for your pet, not to mention the duration.
There's something wonderful about watching your pet frolic outside in warm weather, but beware. Some common plants and gardening products can be hazardous, even fatal, to a dog or cat.
Like all of his four-legged friends at the Castaic Animal Care Center, Sushi is looking for love. The young purebred Shih Tzu was found as a stray and came to the center a matted mess. With a bath and a haircut, Sushi is now one handsome little fella.
Like many pet owners, Leeanne Shinn, of Valencia, considers her dogs Scout and Ruby members of the family. That's why she insures them.
Supplements have been a popular way for people to stay healthy for decades. Recently, pets have been getting into the act, too.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Shanahan Should Be A Leaf
by Paul on 10/19/09 at 10:19 AM ET

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
If the Maple Leafs are smart, they might want to get to Brendan Shanahan before the NHL Players' Association does.
Could Shanahan fix all that ails the Leafs? No, not even close, unless he's got a mask and some pads lying around his garage that he knows how to use.
But even after 21 seasons, with a lot of miles on his chassis, Shanahan surely could add something as an early-season pickup.
Can't believe a lot of fans wouldn't like seeing a boy from Mimico take his last meaningful strides with the team of his boyhood daydreams. It'd be a lot better than organizing tributes for ex-Leafs skating for other teams.
