Arizona Sales Tax Renewal Amendment, Proposition 204 (2012)
|Proposition 204
|Click here for the latest news on U.S. ballot measures
|Quick stats
|Referred by:
|Quality Education and Jobs Committee
|On the ballot
The proposal would renew a 2010 voter-approved one-cent sales tax to provide funding for education for students in the state who meet certain requirements, scholarships for college students and reinvestment in vocational education and new jobs, according to reports.
The initiative is officially called the Quality Education and Jobs Initiative by supporters. The 2010 sales tax measure found on a May 18, 2010 special election ballot implemented an increase to the state sales tax by one percentage point, ending in 2013.
The constitutional amendment, which won with 64.3% of the vote, was supported by Gov. Jan Brewer, who wanted the Arizona State Legislature to vote to refer the proposal to the ballot as a means to alleviate the state's budget strain.
- Ann-Eve Pedersen, president of the Arizona Education Parent Network and chair of the Quality Education and Jobs Committee, argued that the tax helps education in the state. Pedersen claimed, "Education is an economic driver and we're going to ensure that by passing this initiative, we're going to have good jobs for Arizonans and that we're creating a healthy business climate so we can attract new employers and keep the ones we have."[1]
- Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who was the main proponent of the 2010 sales tax increase that this initiative seeks to renew, is against the proposal. Brewer stated that potential increase would not give much room for the Arizona Legislature to decide how to balance the budget and set spending priorities.[3]
- On June 7, 2012, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce's public policy committee voted to recommend that the full chamber board oppose the measure.[4]
Media endorsements
- The Arizona Daily Star did not give a particular stance in a March 18, 2012 editorial, writing during the initiative's circulation period: "We support public education, and we certainly supported the 1-cent-per-dollar increase in the sales tax to help Arizona's K-12 system. But on this new initiative, we're reserving judgment. We're going to need some persuading."[5]

Ann-Eve Pederson v. Secretary of State Ken Bennett
On June 28, 2012, Quality Education and Jobs Committee filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court, claiming that their signatures were valid and that their proposal should be placed on the ballot. The initiative was previously disqualified by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett because ballot language on circulating petitions was different from language that the secretary's office had on file. According to supporters of the initiative, differences between the circulated text and the official text was a "hyper-technicality". Supporters argued that the circulated text was "substantially" the same.[6]
Judge Robert Oberbillig scheduled July 18, 2012 as the date for the hearing.[7]
On that same day, Oberbillig ruled that Ken Bennett should not have refused to process the petitions. The judge ruled that the measure be placed on the November ballot. According to Oberbillig, proponents of the initiative gave Bennett the correct version of the petition and that there was no evidence that those who signed the petition were misled.[8]
According to reports, Secretary of State Ken Bennett filed an appeal of the ruling, insisting that proponents of the initiative did not comply with state law. Reports also say that Bennett hired an expert in elections law to spearhead the appeal. Bennett stated, "To leave the lower court ruling in place I think risks huge voter confusion, huge confusion with our offices and other filing offices as far as how we're supposed to process these initiatives."[9]
However, that appeal failed as the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the measure be placed on the ballot. According to the high court, the text on the petition was enough that supporters of the initiative complied with state election law.[10]
Path to the ballot
According to reports, petition drive organizers must have collected 172,809 valid signatures from registered voters by the July 5, 2012 petition drive deadline in order to make the ballot.
According to reports on June 6, 2012, supporters of the initiative stated that they had collected enough signatures to make the ballot. Reports stated that petition drive organizers had collected more than 175,000 signatures from state voters.
Although enough signatures were allegedly collected, supporters said at the time that they would keep collecting them leading up to the deadline in order to ensure that they had room for error.[11]
Ballot language error
On June 19, 2012, it was reported that a mistake regarding the ballot language of the measure hindered initiative efforts, potentially keeping the measure off of the November ballot. Reports said that supporters pointed to a "clerical error" in which ballot language on circulating petitions was found to be different than official ballot language on record with the Arizona Secretary of State's office.
According to Secretary of State Ken Bennett after this finding, his office would not accept any petitions that have a different version of ballot language than what his office had on file. Bennett said, "We would reject anything that was collected, attached to something other than what they filed with us. Potentially it's a huge issue, depending on whether they've been collecting the signatures for the version they have on their website or the version that was filed with our office. But we can only accept signatures collected, attached to the version that they've filed with us."[12]
Signature submission
On June 25, 2012, supporters of the initiative filed more than 290,000 signatures from registered voters with the Arizona Secretary of State's office. Supporters filed the signatures despite the controversy surrounding the ballot language. Reports say that Secretary Ken Bennett's office accepted the petitions for processing and would decide whether or not the signatures, and the ballot language on the petitions, are valid.[13]
On June 26, 2012, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett stated, after signatures were submitted to his office days before, that the proposal did not have sufficient signatures to make the ballot. Signatures were disqualified because of the difference in the ballot language on the circulation petitions and the ballot language that the secretary's office had on file.[14]
However, after litigation, the measure was placed back on the ballot.

A common set of core courses in the areas of action research, educational foundations, educational technology, educational psychology, and curriculum development will be taken by all students. Each of these core courses are designed to provide students with the specific knowledge and skills necessary to construct a final action research project. In addition to the core courses, students, in consultation with an advisor from the program, will develop an area of focused inquiry. The area of specialization will help in developing the framework to be able to address each student's chosen research. The program's flexibility gives students the exciting opportunity to take classes from different departments from across the university, including courses in environmental education, special education, women's studies, social work, psychology, history, mathematics, and English.
Upon completion of all course requirements, the complete final action research project will be presented before a committee consisting of the student's advisor and two other members of the department faculty. This presentation will be open to the university community and is an excellent way to demonstrate and build dialogue to a wider audience. The program requirements are aligned with the standards of NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education; NBPTS, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards; Council of Learned Societies in Education; and the outcomes of the West Chester University Conceptual framework.
In completing the program, educators will be equiped with an enhanced conceptual framework, and the knowledge and skills to conduct research in their own workplace setting. This important research is therefore authentic, in that it will allow educators to become change agents within their classroom, within the context of their school, and within society.
This course is designed to engage the student in an exploration of the social, historical, and philosophical foundations of education, emphasizing classroom practice and action research. The student will initially explore his or her thematic concern in light of these foundations, creating a philosophy of education or an action research problem analysis.
At the completion of this course, students will have identified their thematic concerns and will have begun the cycle of Action Research.
In this course, students are to understand how developmental issues in adolescents and emerging adults impact their thematic concern. They will also learn techniques for addressing the educational and social needs of students.
This course will provide students with the analytical skills and the conceptual framework with which they can analyze the political, economic and cultural relationships that affect American politics and apply them to their thematic concern in a written report format.
At the conclusion of this course, candidates will have prepared a report which discusses the ways that technology can impact the thematic concern. This includes both the negative impact of technology as well as the ways that technology can positively affect the concern.
EDS502 is designed to improve candidates' skills as instructional designers within a diverse society. Within this course students will design an educational program/curriculum that will result in a positive impact on her/his thematic concern.

Next: How to Groom Your Dog at Home
We don't need to tell you that not all breeds are made alike, and that's true of their fur as well as their personalities. Certain breeds are much more difficult to groom and maintain than others. A Puli, with its long, thick cords of fur, has much more intense grooming requirements than a Peruvian Hairless Dog, for one obvious example. When choosing a dog to adopt, consider the extent of its grooming needs, and if your pooch is a mixed breed, note its lineage when planning your good grooming habits.

Try asking the staff at the vets office you go to have them be your recon if they see a well groomed pet come in ask them to try to help find you a good one. Not only will this benefit you (justifying you asking them for help) they to will learn to pick up on other Small animal pets services out there and when clients come in and they can quickly answer the question the better the hospital and its staff looks to the client so it will benefit you.

Olympic thrills see girls' game flourishing
Published at 07:41, Wednesday, 13 February 2013
WHILE still very much a male dominated sport, football for females is as strong as it has ever been in Tynedale.
It may still be a struggle to attract players, but the results on the pitch have shown that the quality of the district's women's teams are top notch.
Tynedale Ladies and Prudhoe Town Women are proudly flying the flag for women's football in the area with great success.
Plying their trade in the first division of the North East Regional Women's Football League, Tynedale are the highest ranked team and they are holding their own in mid-table.
Coached by Steve Ord and assistant Ashley Lambert, of Prudhoe, the team's fortunes have picked up in recent years both on and off the field.
Currently, 25 women are on the books with a regular turn out of 16 for their games on Sunday afternoons.
Playing and training at Stocksfield, they have access to quality football facilities, while their finances are healthier than ever.
Ashley said: "We are in a much better position in the last two years than we ever have been and we have come on loads during that time.
"We are attracting more young players to the club and the interest in women's football in recent years has been fantastic.
"Tynedale are doing really well and holding our own, and we hope to keep improving in the future."
The uptake at the club has coincided with a UK wide growth, the performance of Team GB's girls at London 2012 going along way to raising the profile of the game.
But a lot has been done in the North-East too, and Tynedale are feeling the benefits of that.
"Over the years, I have played for Newcastle United and Sunderland but there was never the publicity about the women's game that there is now," said Ashley.
"More awareness of the sport in the region has led to extra demand in ladies' football in Tynedale, and more are seeing that it is not just a man's sport."
Prudhoe, the only other senior women's team in the district, are also going well as they look to put pressure on the teams at the top of the Northumberland County Women's Football League.
They too have 25 ladies signed with them, although getting more than the bare 11 for games can sometimes prove to be somewhat of a difficult task.
With players ranging in age from 16 to 32, the future is bright for the team in orange, though.
Manager Nigel Foster said: "We are doing well and we have the strongest team ever at Prudhoe Town Women's this season.
"We lost a couple of players from last year but have managed to take on some good players too, and the squad is really strong."
However, Foster said recruiting local girls had proved problematic and that more still needed to be done to promote the sport in the district.
While there were some locals on the books, most players travelled from across the region for their football fix.
He said that he would like to see more girls encouraged to take up football at an early age, and that would ultimately strengthen senior ladies' football down the line.
"Unlike men's football, you have to fight tooth and nail to keep a player if she decides to leave because there is a lack of players to choose from.
"But in men's football, there will always be two to three players wanting to come in.
"Football remains a predominantly male sport so I would like to see the local schools and clubs do more to encourage girls to play."
At junior level, girls' football is currently thriving and there are eight Tynedale teams playing in the Northumberland Girls League at various age levels.
Foster's daughter Rebecca runs Prudhoe YC U15 Girls and she is impressed with the enthusiasm of her squad.
She said: "The girls are enjoying it and I think this is the best season we have had through all the age groups.
"We have 13 signed on for the nine-a-side games and I am really impressed with the interest from the girls.
"They are a good group of friends who go to high school with each other, so they all like playing football together. The problem will be to keep them playing at this age as they have many other interests too."
Prudhoe Youth Club have introduced a U14 girls' team, and there are representatives from Ponteland United at U15 and Haltwhistle United at U13.
Wylam Rockettes cater for the younger girls in the district with teams at U13, U12, U11 and U10 levels.

"If I had Jesus' miraculous powers and insider's relationship with an almighty God, I would have helped the young Hitler to become a more talented and successful artist, like Picasso."
It's really annoying how everyone knows what Jesus would do with divine powers. Change peoples lives. Jesus didn't change anyone's life, he let everyone make their own decisions. That was his message.
And I own a Porshe, not a Ford.
Um, the Roman Empire is mentioned in a few more places than the Bible. They built a lot of things that you can still visit.
It's true that Jesus let Henry Ford Sr. and Hitler make their own decisions. George W. Bush too, I suppose. Do you think Bush ever asked Jesus to help him with his decisions?
Jesus: "No, it's up to you George. You want to kill and maim 200,000 people, men, women and children, in Afghanistan and Iraq, go ahead. You want to violate the Geneva Convention and torture prisoners, go ahead, it's your call. But please, stop telling people that I support you. Bad Conduct supports you, not me. My message is to let all you scalawags make your own decisions.
"Furthermore, if Henry Ford wants to write scatalogical books about Jews, inspire Hitler, and send Adolf birthday presents of 50,000 Deutch Marks year after year, that's his decision. I didn't come here to bring peace, but a sword! Wait a minute, delete that last remark! Paul? Paul, are you listening? Delete that last remark! The hawks are going to take that and run with it, causing mayhem. Paul! Dammit!"

Need a replacement Ariens Flat Idler, Heavy Duty Flat Idler or No Flange Flat Idler? Jack's has them to help you get your Ariens lawn equipment or small engine repair underway. We've been selling lawn mower parts and small engine parts online since 1997, so when you need replacement Ariens idlers or any other parts, just go to Jack's! It is important to know that idlers are not the same as pulleys. There are parts called idler pulleys, but they are actually pulleys. The difference is that a pulley will have a notch (or some other device) to fix it to a shaft that it rotates around, while an idler rotates freely around bearings at its center.

Indie Next List
The World We Found
The World We Found (Paperback)
Indie Next ListJanuary 2012
Umrigar's latest recalls the halcyon days at university in 1970's Bombay, which were characterized by intense friendships, fierce ambitions and a determination to change the world, as remembered by four women whose lives have ended up radically different from their collegiate dreams: one, dying in America, whose last wish is to see her three friends, two living in upper middle class Mumbai, and the fourth who has been long-estranged from their circle. Painful secrets, both past and present, threaten to prevent the reunion. Blood may be thicker than water, but Umrigar proves that friendship is thicker than blood in this marvelous novel that is both fascinating and disturbing by turns. -- Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
As university students in late 1970s Bombay, Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta were inseparable. Spirited and unconventional, they challenged authority and fought for a better world. But over the past thirty years, the quartet has drifted apart, the day-to-day demands of work and family tempering the revolutionary fervor they once shared.
Then comes devastating news: Armaiti, who moved to America, is gravely ill and wants to see the old friends she left behind. For Laleh, reunion is a bittersweet reminder of unfulfilled dreams and unspoken guilt. For Kavita, it is an admission of forbidden passion. For Nishta, it is the promise of freedom from a bitter, fundamentalist husband. And for Armaiti, it is an act of acceptance, of letting go on her own terms.
The World We Found is a dazzling masterwork from the remarkable Thrity Umrigar, offering an unforgettable portrait of modern India while it explores the enduring bonds of friendship and the power of love to change lives.
About the Author
Thrity Umrigaris the author of five novels and the memoir First Darling of the Morning. A former journalist, she is a winner of the Nieman Fellowship to Harvard and a finalist for the PEN/Beyond Margins Award. A professor of English at Case Western Reserve University, she lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
Praise for The World We Found…
"The World We Found is stunning in its credibility and nuance. . . . This is a novel that rewards reading, and even re-reading. The World We Found is a powerful meditation."
-Boston Globe
"Luminous. . . . Wise and absorbing, Umrigar's novel has the rich, chaotic vibrancy of a Mumbai marketplace."
"Asparkling and sharp slice of life."
-Nina Sankovitch, Huffington Post
"The World We Found is absorbing and resonant."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Umrigar renders a vivid portrait of modern-day India as she meditates upon the power of friendship, loyalty, and love. Like her previous works, The World We Found is eloquent and evocative, bitter and sweet."
-Booklist (starred review)
"There's ample discussion to be had here on the topics of family, friendship, religion and marriage. Umrigar is a lively storyteller. The women are sympathetic characters, their relationships fully realized and deeply felt. . . . Umrigar's evocative world is one worth finding, indeed."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Absorbing. . . . A rewarding novel."
-Publishers Weekly
"A storyteller through and through, Umrigar ensures that her characters face up to the costs and consequences created by their choices, right or wrong, principled or unprincipled."
-Washington Post

I like to think that Sam Harris's The End of Faith book in 2004 was really the start of this 21st century Atheist Revolution, call it what you may. Next came Dawkin's God Delusion and Hitchens's God Is Not Great. So did Harris's book start it all? Can you remember any atheist books published before it that could be said to have started it? I can't, and it makes me proud to know that an American began the revolution considering the surplus of media attention over Dawkins's publication.
This does bring up one interesting question, though. In all these publications 9/11 is mentioned as a kind of crucial point in these authors' minds. Would any of these books have been likely to have come out were it not for 9/11?

It's just like new, except that I've added quite a few chains to make it catch even better. It's a full metal basket and is *great* for back yard practice. New it's $150. I'm selling it for $100. It's been outside for a few years but only has a very small touch of rust. Nothing that would hurt the basket at all, in any way.
PM me and I can take some pics, if needed.

HOUSTON – September 19, 2012 – Rob Denton, a CenterPoint Energy learning and development specialist and Katy, Texas resident, was recently honored as an outstanding volunteer and Jefferson Award recipient.
The Jefferson Awards are a prestigious national recognition system honoring community and public service in America, presented on both a national and local level.
Since October 2010, Denton has served as a board member for Houston Dynamo Charities, which funds player initiatives and other community outreach programs.
In 2011, Denton served as the project lead for the annual Dynamo FireSale, which raised more than $25,000. He also has participated in other fundraisers with the Dynamo – Houston's Major League Soccer team – including soccer tournaments, auctions and other special events.
Denton sees his community volunteerism as a way to fulfill CenterPoint Energy's brand promise of "Always There."
"I understand that energy delivery is the true and primary function of the company, but the outstanding community involvement helps us to increase our core messages and values to employees and the communities we serve," he said.
The money raised from all the special events Denton has participated in has provided 3,500 game tickets for underprivileged young people; allowed more than 600 youths to participate in the Dynamo Soccer Skills training sessions; and given 1,000 Houston Independent School District students the chance to participate in an after-school soccer program.
"Last year, CenterPoint Energy employees and retirees, along with family and friends, amassed a staggering 235,847 volunteer hours," said Diane Hasell, Community Relations senior director for CenterPoint Energy. "We're extremely proud to have generous and compassionate employees like Rob who are so willing to serve in their local communities."

NEW BERN — New Bern-Craven County Public Library is one of 50 libraries nationwide to hosts a traveling exhibit titled "Pride & Passion — The African-American Baseball Experience."
The exhibit, which opens Friday, was organized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., and the American Library Association Public Programs Office in Chicago.
The exhibition tells the story of how black baseball players from the late 19th century onward persevered through discrimination to excel.
In the 1880s, more than 30 African-Americans were on teams in baseball's major and minor leagues. But opportunities diminished as Reconstruction ended and segregation became entrenched as part of American culture. During the 1887 season, league owners agreed to make no new contracts with African-American players.
Black baseball players, shut out of the major leagues, organized their own baseball clubs, and starting in the 1920s, formed their own leagues.
This exhibition tells the story of Negro league baseball and how it grew into a multi-million dollar enterprise and a focus of great pride in the African-American community. Players like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and James "Cool Papa" Bell, and teams like the Chicago American Giants, Kansas City Monarchs and Birmingham Black Barons drew enthusiastic crowds, developed a reputation for a fast-running, power-hitting game, and paved the way for the integration of the sport.
"We are looking forward to sharing this exhibit with the community," said Joanne Straight, head librarian. "The display shows that, in spite of segregation, black players helped advance the game of baseball in many ways.
"The Kansas City Monarchs, a Negro league team, were the first to develop a successful lighting system for night games, five years before Major League Baseball played its first night game. They carried their own generators and light stands with them on the road. Many more remarkable stories of players and teams who were shut out of major league baseball, but persevered in a sport they loved, are shown throughout the exhibit."
Programming began Tuesday at the library with a Reel Readers presentation of "The Jackie Robinson Story."
On Saturday, "Soul of the Game" will be shown at 2:15 p.m.
After the exhibit's opening reception on March 14 at 4 p.m., there will be a program titled "Sweet Sport in the Carolinas," an oral history about baseball in New Bern.
On March 23, a lecture titled "The Moral Significance of Sports: How Sports Reflect and Affect Society" will be presented by Jan Boxill, senior lecturer, UNC Philosophy Department. Boxill is director of the Parr Center for Ethics and Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at UNC and was an announcer at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.
An April 13 program will feature former Negro League players Clifford Layton and Kinston's Carl Long talking about their experiences.
The traveling exhibition has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The traveling exhibition is based on an exhibition of the same name on permanent display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

PIKEVILLE — A federal jury has found former Martin Mayor Ruth Thomasine Robinson and her daughter, former Housing Authority of Martin Deputy Director and Martin Community Center Director Rita Whicker, guilty of conspiracy, theft and fraud at the conclusion of their trial Tuesday.
Robinson, 69, and Whicker, 42, had each been charged with conspiracy, theft of Social Security disability benefits, aggravated identity theft and five counts of federal program fraud. They were convicted on all counts.
Robinson and Whicker will return to court for sentencing July 9. They will remain free until that time.
The conspiracy charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 in fines, while the theft and fraud charges each carry maximum sentences of 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. The identity theft charge carries a maximum two-year prison sentence, but federal law requires that any time received for an identity theft conviction be served after any other prison sentence given. They could also be required to pay restitution, if the court finds it applicable.
Robinson and Whicker were indicted Oct. 23 along with two others, Ginger Michelle Halbert and Martin City Clerk Ethel Lee Clouse. Halbert reached a plea deal with prosecutors last Friday, while prosecutors asked that all charges against Clouse be dismissed.
The indictment accused Robinson and Whicker of helping Halbert secretly receive a paycheck from the city of Martin so that she could continue to draw disability benefits.
According to the indictment, the city paid Halbert with checks written to her son, Jeremy Pack. Halbert would then cash the checks and keep the money.
"Publicly, [Halbert] would hold herself out as a volunteer," Asst. U.S. Attorney Kenneth Taylor said Monday during his opening statement. "But she was going to get a secret paycheck."
Halbert, Pack and Clouse all testified for the prosecution.
Halbert will be sentenced June 4.

Transportation refers to the movement of humans, animals or goods from one place to another, or the system/vehicle by which that movement is accomplished. There are a vast number of different types of transportation grouped by modes: transport by road, rail, water, air, cable and space. Transportation can be used by the public, private persons, or enterprises.
All transportation requires some form of energy to power it, whether it be supplied by humans, animals, fossil fuels, biofuel, nuclear fission or electricity. Advancements in green transportation technology have yielded cars and boats run on sustainable energy, which both saves the consumer money and reduces noxious emissions into the atmosphere.

GREENVILLE - Adam D. Sturgill, 24, of Greenville, will spend at least the next two years in an Ohio prison for drug related charges.
He was sentenced to three years on Monday afternoon after pleading guilty in November to a sole count of Attempted Illegal Manufacture of Drug (Methamphetamine), a felony of the third degree. He is also ordered to pay the mandatory $5,000 drug fine along with other court costs.
He and a co-defendant, Matthew K. Bowlin, 20, of Greenville, were arrested Aug. 5 when the Darke County Narcotics Unit and Greenville Police Department discovered the two men transporting a backpack containing items used in the manufacturing of Methamphetamine. Bowlin is currently serving a three-year sentence after pleading guilty to the same amended charge.
Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein told Sturgill during Monday's sentencing that the possibility of the MonDay Program after serving two of the three years is on the table, as long as he can show progress in prison.
"The goal here is to take the momentum and do the right thing Mr. Sturgill," Judge Hein stated.
This will make the third time Sturgill has been sentenced to a prison term. A Miami County judge sentenced him to 11 months in 2008 and to one year in 2010.
Local defense attorney Nicole L. Pohlman represented Sturgill while Darke County Prosecutor R. Kelly Ormsby, III handled the case for the state.

After basketball, Kingma stays in the game as mentor
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Former University of Washington basketball player Kristi Kingma (right) watches a player running a drill at her basketball camp on Monday at Jackson High School.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Kristi Kingma gets a hug from eight-year-old Macey Huard while talking to players between drills at her basketball camp.
After the former University of Washington and Jackson High School basketball standout was told by doctors she could no longer play competitive basketball, she was forced to decide what she was going to do for a post-college career.
It's no surprise Kingma found a way to make it about basketball.
She's started a business aimed at helping young girls build up both their on-court and life skills.
"She knows what it takes to play at the highest level and to have a high level of success," University of Washington assistant women's basketball coach Kevin Morrison said. "She knows the determination and the sacrifices. That coupled with Kristi's demeanor and her personality ... I think that she will do a great job."
Kingma's first camp began Monday and runs through Wednesday at her alma mater, Jackson High School.
It's not exactly where Kingma thought she would be at this time a year ago.
"I think when you are a senior, you kind of question what you are going to do next so, for me, it was just 'I will continue to play basketball,'" Kingma said. "Whether it's the WNBA or overseas, that's what my goal was."
But it wasn't to be.
Kingma was forced to redshirt during the 2011-12 season after tearing an ACL in a preseason game in Norway. She returned for her senior year in 2012-13, averaging 13.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game and making the All-Pac-12 team. She scored a career-high 35 points in a Feb. 13 game against Oregon, setting a Pac-12 record with 11 3-pointers, one shy of the NCAA record.
But her left knee started to bother her early on and as the season progressed, she became more limited in practice. The day after the season ended, Kingma underwent surgery on her knee. "I went into the surgery thinking that they were going to scope it and then I was going to be fine in two weeks," she said.
The news she received after waking up was far different.
The doctors informed her that her meniscus was shredded and she had cartilage damage. They removed the meniscus and advised her to quit playing basketball.
"You can't really play on dead cartilage and no meniscus," she said.
The news forced Kingma to abruptly rethink her career plans.
"I kind of just spent some time thinking about what I really wanted to do and it kind of came down to the heart of the matter was I wanted to figure out what my passions are and go after that," she said. "My passions are still basketball -- even though I can't play -- and just being able to be a strong mentor for young girls."
Morrison said he was pleased, but not surprised, with the path Kingma chose.
"When she realized that her knees weren't going to allow her to continue playing to the level she wanted to, she could have easily turned around and utilized that degree to do something for herself," Morrison said. "But instead she decided that she wanted to stay involved in basketball and be able to give back to younger kids that are still trying to get to where she has been to. That is a great quality and is something that when she told me that is what she was going to do, it was no surprise to me at all."
Kingma knows how influential a college basketball player can be.
"I went to Husky Hoop Camp every year (as a youngster) and I just idolized those girls so much," Kingma said.
One of her coaches was Husky guard Megan Franza, who Kingma admired so much she dressed up as Franza for Halloween.
"I just remember thinking that I would give anything to be her," Kingma said. "She encouraged me and really allowed me to have a dream to be like her. I still look back at that memory and think that's really what propelled me to want to be a Husky so bad. I kind of hope to be that for that age group."
Kingma is welcoming players ages 9-17 to her camp.
Among those in attendance is 10-year-old Haley Huard, daughter of former UW women's basketball player Molly (Hills) Huard and former UW quarterback Brock Huard. The Huards have gotten to know Kingma on a personal level after following her career as a Husky.
"Kristi is an amazing young lady and she is a great role model," Molly Huard said. "I think, for my girls, it's important to have them be around girls that they can look up to in sports and just in life in general. I think she is going to focus a lot on character and life skills, along with basketball, so I'm excited for that."
It is the personal side of the camp that most excited Molly Huard about Kingma's camp.
"I think what is going to be unique about my camps is besides the basketball side of it and really teaching drills and things like that is I have journals for each of the girls," Kingma said. "I really want it to be something that's encouraging with the girls. I spend a lot of time texting them, getting to know them, e-mailing them, spending time with them one-on-one and journaling with them. Showing up and doing the camp is the easy part. It's the getting people to come to camp and getting to know them and create relationships with them, that's what's taking up a lot of my time."
For now, Kingma's primary focus is on growing and expanding her business. She hasn't ruled out getting another job in the future, but for now, she wants to see how far this new venture takes her.
"I've been lucky to have people and resources help me get the business started," Kingma said. "It's not easy and I don't expect to make millions of dollars overnight and that's not the goal either. I really want to be cautious about the process and really take my time and learn the ropes and hopefully make it into something that is worthwhile for me and the younger girls."

After filibuster, Senate confirms Brennan for CIA
Friday - 3/8/2013, 3:44am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate confirmed John Brennan to be CIA director Thursday after the Obama administration bowed to demands from Republicans blocking the nomination and stated explicitly there are limits on the president's power to use drones against U.S. terror suspects on American soil.
The vote was 63-34 and came just hours after Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a possible 2016 presidential candidate, held the floor past midnight in an old-style filibuster of the nomination to extract an answer from the administration.
Still, Brennan won some GOP support. Thirteen Republicans voted with 49 Democrats and one independent to give Brennan, who has been President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, the top job at the nation's spy agency. He will replace Michael Morell, the CIA's deputy director who has been acting director since David Petraeus resigned in November after acknowledging an affair with his biographer.
The confirmation vote came moments after Democrats prevailed in a vote ending the filibuster, 81-16.
In a series of fast-moving events, by Senate standards, Attorney General Eric Holder sent a one-paragraph letter to Paul, who had commanded the floor for nearly 13 hours on Wednesday and into Thursday.
"It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: 'Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?" Holder wrote Paul.
"The answer to that question is no."
That cleared the way.
"We worked very hard on a constitutional question to get an answer from the president," Paul said after voting against Brennan. "It may have been a little harder than we wish it had been, but in the end I think it was a good healthy debate for the country to finally get an answer that the Fifth Amendment applies to all Americans."
However, Paul's stand on the Brennan nomination and insistence that the Obama administration explain its controversial drone program exposed a deep split among Senate Republicans, pitting leader Mitch McConnell, libertarians and tea partyers against military hawks such as John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
The government's drone program and its use in the ongoing fight against terrorists were at the heart of the dispute.
Though Paul held the Senate floor for the late-night filibuster, about a dozen of his colleagues who share his views came, too, to take turns speaking for him and trading questions. McConnell, a fellow Kentuckian who faces re-election next year, congratulated him for his "tenacity and for his conviction."
McConnell said in Senate remarks on Thursday, "The United States military no more has the right to kill a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil who is not a combatant with an armed, unmanned aerial vehicle than it does with an M-16."
Paul's filibuster echoed recent congressional debates about the government's authority in the anti-terror war and whether the United States can hold American terror suspects indefinitely and without charge. The disputes have created unusual coalitions as libertarians and liberals have sided against defense hawks.
The latest GOP split also underscored the current rift within the rank and file over budget cuts, with some tea partyers willing to reduce defense dollars to preserve tax cuts but longtime guardians of military spending fighting back.
During his talkathon, Paul had suggested the possibility that the government would have used hellfire missiles against anti-war activist Jane Fonda or an American sitting at a cafe. During the height of the Vietnam War, Fonda traveled to North Vietnam and was widely criticized by some in the U.S. for her appearances there.
McCain derided that notion of an attack against the actress and argued that Paul was unnecessarily making Americans fear that their government poses a danger.
"To somehow allege or infer that the president of the United States is going to kill somebody like Jane Fonda or somebody who disagrees with the policies is a stretch of imagination which is, frankly, ridiculous," McCain said.
McCain found himself in the odd position of defending Fonda's constitutional rights over her July 1972 trip to Hanoi that earned her the derogatory nickname "Hanoi Jane."
"I must say that the use of Jane Fonda's name does evoke certain memories with me, and I must say that she is not my favorite American, but I also believe that, as odious as it was, Ms. Fonda acted within her constitutional rights," said McCain, a prisoner of war in Vietnam for 5

It's no secret that people love kittens, so when Buddy came to the ASPCA at the age of 6 months, we assumed he'd be adopted right away. But Buddy is all personality—feisty and finicky—and his behavior just wasn't clicking with potential adopters. Before we knew it, a year had gone by and he was still waiting for a home. Though we never imagined that Buddy would have such a long stay at our Adoption Center, it turns out that he was just waiting for the perfect people to come along. Those people were Neysa and her boyfriend, Bijan, who proved that in the end, all Buddy needed was a friend. Here is their Happy Tail.
"After my landlord agreed to let Bijan and I get a cat, we both began searching online," recalls Neysa. The young couple browsed through the adoptable cats on ASPCA.org separately, and without even consulting each other, both selected Buddy as the cat they would like to adopt. "I had very interactive cats in the past, and Bijan grew up with dogs, so we knew we wanted an animal that was outgoing." From the moment they spotted Buddy's face online, it was meant to be.
At the ASPCA Adoption Center, Neysa and Bijan took a tour of every room and met all the adoptable cats, but Buddy remained on their mind the entire time. "No one stood out to us the way Buddy did," says Neysa. "Though he was a little feisty, I knew he was the kind of quirky that would work well with us." They adopted Buddy that day. "There was no way we couldn't take him home," she says.
True to character, Buddy's transition into the home was trying. He scratched and bit often, and got upset when rubbed the wrong way. But Neysa and Bijan were patient: "Over time, we learned each other. Bijan and I realized that Buddy mainly acts out when he wants to tell us something—he's hungry, he wants to play, he wants attention. Once we knew how to react, he stopped being so rough."
After a bumpy few weeks, their hard work and kindness paid off. Buddy blossomed into an amazing cat, and Neysa tells us that he cuddles every night, watches TV with the couple, and is "the sweetest thing in the world." She adds, "I think he's very happy with us, and I know we love him."
After a year in our Adoption Center, this frisky cat found his perfect people. As it turns out, Neysa and Bijan were exactly the "buddies" he was searching for.

Adopting pets should be something that all families and individuals can certainly do. And do so responsibly. By taking care of an innocent animal, who can be a great source of joy, companionship, and is therapeutic for people of all ages.
I also have taken cats into my heart and home that are less than your ideal little quiet ball of purrs. It is SO rewarding getting to know their little quirks and watching their personalities bloom. What a lovely story!
I to have a wonderful cat named Tara and she is the love of my life. I have always loved cats and dogs and will continue to love and have one or the other or both in my life. I am a retired USAF vet. I think that the ASPCA is doing a Excellent job. All the Best to you.
All 3 of you are very lucky. What a nice handsome boy Buddy is. Our kitty is now 18 years old and she is a sweet, sweet girl. We were very lucky to have her and her 2 brothers and her Mom. She is the last of her kitty family, but we will continue to love and care for her as long as she lives.
I, too, took in a cat from the Humane Society who was social at the place, but when we got home, he wanted nothing to do with people. We were very patient, and little by little, he became more friendly, and now, he is our lap cat, still full of personality, but he meows and throws a fit if he is not getting attention. What a difference in him. He is still quite feisty, but a lover as well. Sylvester is his name.
Neysa and Bijan, Thank you for taking a chance on beautiful, soft Buddy. What a wonderful photo! Buddy looks so content to be with you. This is a home of love and safety and joy. Happiness all around for the 3 of you.

As the author, I'd like to further encourage people to join in to add
Zenossian Nathaniel McCallum has written a new tray applet for
monitoring Zenoss installations remotely. It sits in your desktop tray
and shows the current count of events and the highest severity. From
there you can view event details, acknowledge them, add notes and send
them to history. It can also be used to monitor multiple Zenoss
installations. It is currently only tested on Linux, but porting it to
other platforms should be fairly straightforward since it's GTK and
support exists for Windows, OSX and other platforms. Eventually it
should be ported to more platforms, add more features like alert
sounds and whatever the community can come up with. More developers
are encouraged to pitch in, this is already a very handy applet!
can someone write a small howto to make it working on windows xp?
i make a google search on how install gtk for windows but it's not so immediate...
zenoss-users mailing list
I can probably help with the Windoze support.
(In fact, just last week I was tweaking Todd Davis' ZenTrayIcon applet, which does roughly the same thing--but I hadn't yet put the source code & executable online!)
zenoss-users mailing list
Within the next week or so I'm going to land a rewrite which modularizes
Windows compatibility tweaks are now working, and the code has been updated on SourceForge. This little program is quite spiffy!
I have not, however, uploaded the zip or setup file so the Windows binaries could be downloaded directly from SF.net. Matt or Nathaniel, just give the word and I can do that... Thanks!
The applet is an "extension" of the panel. It should always be the same
One suggestion: a 'Close' button for the EventView window? (It's easy enough to click on the systray icon again, but still...) At least as I'm seeing it, the EventView isn't behaving like a "normal" window--e.g. it has no title nor min/max/close boxes, can't be moved, etc.--but it probably could or should.
I'd love to add the OS X support, but I don't have a system to test it on right now :(

I've been throwing this shot for a year or so now. I'm right handed. Grip the disc like you are going to throw a hook thumber, with your thumb under the rim. But instead of throwing that shot, bring your arm down and throw with the regular backhand motion, with your thumb still under the rim. Your first 2 fingers are on the top and edge of the disc and you're kind of pinching the disc. I've found a lot of uses for this shot. It allows you a several extra inches of reach if you are obstructed to try to throw around something. And you can get a suprising amount of snap on it using your wrist mostly. I've thrown hyzer shots over 300' this way with a Roc pretty effortlessly, but it's more useful in a touchy upshot situation. I think of it as a backand thumber. Another thing, my palm opens facing to the right upon release. The shot has the general form of a backhand and can be thrown with hyzer of anhyzer. It's just another option for tricky lies and is a more compact shot. Does anyone else use this shot? Has anyone heard of a name for it? If not .
I hereby deem it " The Backhand Thumber

MARK KEOHANE, in his SA Rugby magazine column, says Heyneke Meyer should assist Peter de Villiers this year.
Why search for consultants for the World Cup when a succession plan to Peter de Villiers should already be part of the 2011 planning – and beyond?
I wrote last month that De Villiers's successor should already be appointed by the start of the international season and he should accompany De Villiers to the Tri-Nations and World Cup. This is the consultant Saru should be investing in. We all know De Villiers – whatever the team conjures up at the World Cup – won't be reappointed.
The response, by way of e-mails, phone calls and tweets, was overwhelming to the suggestion of a succession plan and equally supportive of Heyneke Meyer being the coach to advance South Africa's rugby beyond the World Cup.
One naive soul questioned why I was even writing about it because it was so obvious. He then proceeded to call me a racist because I hadn't suggested Allister Coetzee!
If it was that obvious South African rugby would have done it already and going for Meyer ahead of Coetzee is based on rugby, not race. Both are good blokes. Both have strengths and weaknesses as coaches, but to me Meyer is the better coach.
John Mitchell is another fantastic coach, but I'd still go with Meyer ahead of him because in an ideal world you want the Bok coach to be South African.
I am certainly not anti-foreigners and have always believed the game can only be healthier with the inclusion of foreign players and coaches in our competitions, but you only go with a foreigner to head up your national team if there is no local good enough.
The pecking order locally would be Meyer, John Plumtree and Coetzee. Rassie Erasmus would always be in the mix as a technical adviser, but not as a head coach. He has never been comfortable with that responsibility but his analysis is world class.
Plumtree is a New Zealander by birth and upbringing, but he played for the Sharks, lived in Durban for years, returned to New Zealand to coach and has turned around the Sharks since taking over from Dick Muir. He is also married to a South African, so in my book he is South African enough to coach the Boks.
Mitchell, also introduced to South Africa by Muir, has been as good for the Lions as Plumtree has been at the Sharks. Maybe Muir should be our rugby ambassador. His academy is thriving, he is considered one of the all-time nice guys of the game and he has strengthened the intellectual capital considerably by way of Plumtree and Mitchell. Clearly there is a role for Muir in South African rugby, even if it should never be as head coach of any Super Rugby or provincial team.
Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones was outstanding for the Boks as a specialist coach at the 2007 World Cup and you only have to spend an hour in his company discussing rugby to know why he found favour with the South African players.
Jones and 2007 World Cup-winning coach Jake White are good friends and this dynamic was crucial to the success of their professional partnership.
Jones would always have an impact, but I remain unconvinced he and De Villiers could find the kind of common ground there was between White and Jones. The latter duo had a relationship that isn't there with De Villiers.
Which brings me back to Meyer. He has a relationship with the core of the current Bok squad and there is respect globally for what he achieved at the Bulls. For the second successive month I am appealing to the clever okes at Saru to give him a call and sound him out.
The right decisions have to be made for the well-being of South African rugby. It took Cheeky Watson to bring Alan Solomons back to South African rugby and the turnaround in the Eastern Cape has been remarkable.
Just imagine what Nick Mallett could do back in this country. Just imagine how good the Boks could be if there was investment in the right intellectual capital.
De Villiers's tenure is in its final year. Every bit of assistance must be given to him in 2011, starting with Meyer and also embracing the input of Mitchell, Plumtree, Coetzee and Erasmus.
There is enough rugby expertise in this country to mastermind a World Cup victory and there certainly is enough in player pedigree to put any tournament-winning theory into practice. Imagine if everyone pulled together for the right reason?

Hey all- I thought you might appreciate some of these pictures of me while at the Cincinnati Reds Gala.
(George Foster, Ken Griffey Sr, Cesar Geronimo,Tom Browning,Leo Cardenas)
History FYI- Leo Cardenas- Cincinnati Reds All-Star shortstop (1960-1968)
Considered one of the best shortstops during the 1960s, Cardenas was dubbed "Mr. Automatic" because of his slick fielding. Nine of his 16 seasons were spent in Cincinnati, where he was a four-time All-Star and 1965 Gold Glover.
