Based on an analysis of bill sponsorship by GovTrack, Harkin is a "moderate Democratic leader".[1]
On January 26, 2013, Harkin announced that he would not seek re-election once his current term expires. Upon his retirement, he will have served in the U.S. Senate for 30 years. Prior to this, he served in the U.S. House for ten years. He told USA Today, "I have mixed feelings. You know what, it's somebody else's turn. To walk away from this position and this power is not an easy thing. But I think it's the right thing."[2]
Harkin was born in 1939 in Cumming, Iowa. He earned his B.A. from Iowa State University in in 1962 and his J.D. from Catholic University of America in 1972. Sanders has also worked as a carpenter and journalist.[3]
Below is an abbreviated outline of Harkin's political career:
- U.S. House of Representatives, 1975-1985
- U.S. Senate, 1985-Present
Committee assignments
U.S. Senate
Harkin serves on the following Senate committees[4]:
- Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman
- Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee
- Appropriations Committee
- Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee
Harkin served on the following Senate committees[5]:
- Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman
- Subcommittee on Public Health
- Subcommittee on Employment, Safety and Training
- Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee
- Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee
- Appropriations Committee
- Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Chairman
- Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, FDA
- Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development
- Subcommittee on Defense
- Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations
- Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, the Judiciary, HUD, and Related Agencies
Fiscal Cliff
Harkin voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was one of three Democrats that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the Senate by a 89/8 vote on January 1, 2013.[6]
On January 26, 2013, Harkin announced that he will not seek re-election in 2014.[7]
The FiscalTimes compiled a list of the seven most vulnerable Senate seats up for election in 2014. The seven included in the list are: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Going into the 2014 election, all seven seats are held by Democrats.[8]
Harkin's decision to retire after five terms in the Senate provides a great opportunity for Republicans.[8] Rep. Bruce Braley (D) is reportedly the likeliest Democratic nominee.[8] On the Republican side, early polling indicates that conservative Rep. Steve King leads the early primary field, but Rep. Tom Latham does better in general election matchups. While there are other Republican possibilities, it seems likely that one of these two would be the front-runner for the nomination.[8]
On November 4, 2008, Harkin won re-election to the United States Senate. He defeated Christopher Reed (R) in the general election.[9]

Customer Raves & Reviews
My memorable wedding invite!
I knew what I wanted for a wedding invite but wasn't finding it anywhere until i used magnetstreet.com. As soon as I found Antique Filigree, my fiance and I knew this was it. At first we were going with the single card but then decided to go with the trifold to hold the additional cards. We have received SO many compliments on the textured card stock, the design, and everything. It was nice that I could change the color of the font to match the colors of our wedding. Classy and elegant....it was great!
Very happy, they are beautiful!
I absolutely love how my invitation suite turned out - I used the pearlescent paper which gave it just enough shininess but maintained the gorgeous, elegant style of the Antique Filigree design. My only complaint throughout the process was the webpage interface - sometimes items get lost somewhere between the "my saved work" folder, "my cart", "my favorites", etc. It would have helped me a lot if this were more streamlined and all the items could be found in the same folder.
Absolutely Perfect
I originally ordered my save the dates from Magnet Street. When I received them they had also sent me a sample pack for invitations with a ton of coupons! After inquiring to get my invitations done professionally, it was just too expensive so I decided to attempt making my own. I love the availability of colors and paper that you can choose from without any additional cost. Also, the option to order just one sample and have the $ credited if you end up ordering the invites was great too. I love the Antique Filigree pattern, it is a classy pattern for any wedding theme. I choose to do the embellishment in Celadon (light green) with Latte (light brown) writing. My invitations came out beautiful and look as if they were professionally done. I could not ask for anything more!
Everything perfect - magnets to invitations!
My daughter and I cannot say sing enough praises about "Magnet Street". She tried them out for her 'save-the-date' magnets in Feb. --- easy to design & download photos she wanted to use, FAST delivery & adorable. Then we moved on to her bridal shower invites -- same thing. We LOVED her bridal shower invites & have had many positive remarks from guests. Then she & I designed her wedding invitations on line -- making easy edits over a period of several weeks. Magnet Street shipped us free samples in a very speedy manner for us to review. When we were ready to submit the final order, I made one phone call to verify a couple of small things. Got right thru - talked to a very kind & sharp consultant. Questions answered. I then went back on line, finalized, reviewed & approved our order & submitted. 125 invitations & envelopes & enclosure & RSVP & guest info cards AND 300 darling return labels all showed up at our door yesterday (one week from ordering). I held my breath, opened the box, scrutinized all items --- PERFECTION!! We are SO pleased. We now have a 'wedding program' design in-process on their website -- to be ordered next month. And my daughter is thinking of also ordering her 'shower & wedding thank you notes" (she went with "Antique Filigree" - accents in silver w/ dark gray & purple letters on an ivory background -- just beautiful - and perfect for her theme). Can't say enough good things. Thanks Magnet Street for making this large part of the wedding planning SO easy, lovely & affordable!
I cannot have a negative review for MagnetStreet! I changed these invitations from Antique Filigree to Peacock Pizzaz (to continue with my design theme) and they look great!

'Croods' fast-paced, fun without being too low-brow
Dreamworks Animation
"The Croods" features (from left) Belt the sloth, voiced by Chris Sanders; Guy, voiced by Ryan Reynolds; Eep, voiced by Emma Stone; Ugga, voiced by Catherine Keener, holding Sandy, voiced by Randy Thom; Thunk, voiced by Clark Duke; and Gran, voiced by Cloris Leachman.
Dreamworks Animation
Caveman clan daughter Eep, voiced by Emma Stone, is curious about life outside the cave in "The Croods."
"The Croods" is an animated feature about a prehistoric family living in fear of the dark and unaware of the uses of fire. Ah, but their rambunctious daughter Eep (voiced by Emma Stone) is one of those curious types who just have to know what life is like outside the cave.
And that's where this fun movie takes us, as the Croods are uprooted from their safety zone and forced into an unfamiliar world that looks vaguely like outtakes from "Avatar." A journey story, a little love interest and many cute animals lie in the Croods' future.
While "The Croods" is not a Disney movie -- it's faster and more aggressive than that -- it does carry the obligatory themes of life experience. In this case, it's about the clan's father, Grug (Nicolas Cage), learning to shake off his fear-based attitude and embrace the unknown.
A decent theme, and a lively execution, lively enough so you're not too often hammered over the head with it. And hammering the head is an appropriate image for this movie's style, which emphasizes how indestructible its characters are by flinging them across canyons and dropping them from cliffs.
Directors Kirk De Micco and Chris Sanders have clearly watched a lot of old Warner Bros. cartoons, and the ghosts of Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote are here in spirit. This thing has real zing and some of the physical gags are very funny.
If you cast Cage as a (literally) low-brow caveman, you can expect some eccentric vocal readings. He mostly plays it straight, but there are some definite Cage-isms mixed in there, to good effect.
Catherine Keener voices his long-suffering wife, and Ryan Reynolds is a human in the next stage of evolution who takes a liking to Eep. Clark Duke does the voice of the dim-witted Crood son, and the cranky Grandma is played by -- hey, how'd you guess Cloris Leachman?
The voices are funny and the movie's got an expert sense of timing. The slick animation is occasionally startling (that giant saber-tooth cat creature can really haul) even if it feels generally superficial; I saw it previewed in 3-D, which is clever but not showy.
"The Croods" doesn't dig deep, and it doesn't mean to. This ain't Pixar, but it's an enjoyable romp through a backward, knuckle-dragging era that ought to be over in another thousand years or so.
"The Croods"
3 stars
A fun animated romp set in prehistory, where a caveman (voiced by Nicolas Cage) argues with his rebellious daughter (Emma Stone) about adventures outside the cave. Not exactly deep, but the comedy timing is good and the physical humor is a throwback to old Warner Bros. cartoons.
Rated: PG for subject matter.

On March 24, the ASPCA assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Attorney's Office and local law enforcement agencies in a federal dog fighting raid that resulted in the seizure of nearly 100 dogs from multiple properties in Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
Yesterday, at a federal court in Kansas, justice was served. Two individuals connected with last March's raid learned that they would serve time in prison, pay large fines and perform community service for their roles in the illegal enterprise.
Pete Davis Jr., 38, was sentenced to 16 months in prison and Melvin Robinson, 42, was sentenced to 10 months after pleading guilty to charges related to dog fighting. Davis and Robinson were also ordered to perform 50 hours of community service and pay $430,919 to the ASPCA for the care of the dogs seized. Both Davis and Robinson are also banned from owning dogs for three years following their sentences.
"The ASPCA is proud to have helped secure justice for the dogs involved in this case," says Tim Rickey, Vice President of ASPCA Field Investigations and Response. "Thanks to the persistence of the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office and Missouri State Highway Patrol, these individuals are finally answering for the suffering they caused these dogs. Dog fighting is a horrific crime, and we encourage the public to continue to report suspected dog fighting activities to local authorities."
The ASPCA provided daily care, medical treatment and enrichment for the animals seized in the raid before placing the majority of the dogs with rescue groups to be made available for adoption.

The sentences of only 10 & 16 months are a joke. The fine that they will probably not pay back hopefully will result in more jail time . But judges need to hand down much more severe sentences. When you think of the horror inflicted on hundreds of dogs tortured, starved and left to die much more time locked up would still not be enough. And as everyone else has noted - anyone involved in this case should NEVER be permitted to own a goldfish - 3 yrs and they'll be back to their evilness.
I'm glad those two losers were sentences, but only 18 and 10 months? Even Michael Vick did more time than that. And they can own a dog after 3 years? They should NEVER be allowed to own a cockroach, much less a dog, cat, horse anything.
And they should do at least 7 years in jail.
Animal protection laws are a joke. These are the idiots that need to do long term prison time. Prisons should be for violent people. Dog fighting is a horrific crime, all abuse of helpless beings is the highest level of violence. The only way to stop this crap is prison time in the years not months. A national animal abuse register and laws that keep them from ever owning animals again and life long ban from hunting or owning guns. That's a law that could change what's happening now and stop the abuse of animals, women and children. This includes any person that attends or knows of abuse happening then not reporting it. You're either part of the solution or YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
How do people have the guts to do such things. it just makes me mad
They should never be able to own animals again. They'll probably go back to they're old habits. The law needs to be changed.
What is wrong with these judges and laws?Ten years in jail and never be allowed to be near any animal.
They should never be allowed to own another animal period! And they should've gotten more time.
The prison time is a joke and they should never be allowed to own dogs again. They need to be listed on a National animal offender list and should never be allowed to hunt or own guns. Until we take the act of cruelty to animals more serious it will continue. Blessings to those that care for and save these beautiful helpless beings.
I would like to know who owns a guinea pig and what is its name.

MP's Page wants to play in college
Dan Bates / The Herald
Marysville Pilchuck's Killian Page takes some kidding from one of the coaches during an early morning workout July 31 with his football team.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Marysville Pilchuck�s Killian Page exercises to warm up and stretch before going on a one-hour run with his football team July 31 at Marysville Pilchuck High School.
Dan Bates / The Herald
After warming up and stretching, Marysville Pilchuck�s Killian Page stops for a moment in the weight room before going on a one-hour run with his football team July 31 at Marysville Pilchuck High School.
What sport he takes on — and where — are still to be determined.
The Tomahawks' two-sport star said he hopes to play football or wrestle at a university. Ultimately, it will come down to which sport gets him the best opportunity after the senior-to-be graduates.
"My goal is really — I'd love to have crazy, talented stats — but I want to help my parents out and get a scholarship so I can go to college," Page said. "I just want to play."
Page has dedicated time to both football and wrestling this summer. After school got out in mid-June, the Tomahawks wrestlers went to their annual camp, this year held in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The camp, which ran from June 21st through the 25th at North Idaho College, provided an opportunity for team bonding, as well as improving on the mat.
"It really does help the chemistry bringing some of our senior guys like Killian over to wrestle with some of our younger guys," Marysville Pilchuck wresting coach Craig Iversen said. "It's wonderful when you have that level of athlete that's also open to his coach. … Killian's been a great one to have in the room and we've enjoyed his time at MP."
There aren't many better examples for the young Tomahawks than Page, who has been to the state wrestling tournament each of his three seasons. He got back-to-back second-place finishes at 160-pounds and 145-pounds in 2014 and 2013, respectively, after placing sixth in the 126-pound weight class as a freshman.
"He is a phenomenal athlete," Iversen said. "Size might come in and what he chooses to do, but athletically he can hang at the elite level. I think he'll have some pretty fun choices to be looking at."
Those choices might come because Page's athleticism also translates to the football field.
Along with running backs Austin Joyner, Hunter Trueax and J.J. Valencia, Page helped bolster a successful ground game for the Tomahawks, who in 2013 advanced to the 3A state quarterfinals for the second consecutive time.
Page wound up being named a second-team All-Wesco 3A North selection at running back after his junior campaign.
"He really stepped in halfway through the season at fullback and had an incredible year," Marysville Pilchuck football coach Brandon Carson said. "He's a really talented athlete. He's got great speed, and I think this has to do with wrestling. He has body awareness and body control.
"When people are trying to tackle him he understands leverage and how to break out of tackles. He makes really good moves. I'm like, 'How'd he get out of that tackle?'"
Carson, Iversen and Page agree that the football and wrestling complement each other well. Along with teammate Drew Hatch, another strong wrestler and football player for Marysville Pilchuck, Page looks to continue to make an impact in both sports his senior year.
"I think they're good, transferable sports," Carson said. "There's a toughness factor that you could put into the equation. Killian and Drew are both outstanding wrestlers and they're tough kids. They make for good tacklers."
Said Iversen: "I think they complement each other. I think both require a tremendous amount of work in the offseason and I think both help the competitiveness of the athlete. I think it helps in wrestling that he's seen success in the field. It's always better when an athlete is doing another sport."
Whether he's on the gridiron or the mat, Page always gives his best effort. He's also enjoying himself.
"He's such a fun-loving kid," Carson said. "He's high energy and always bouncing around in whatever he's involved in. It looks like he's all in and he loves it to death. He's one of those players that you like to be around. He's fun to be around. He exudes a passion for the game and always has a smile on his face. He looks like he's having a lot of fun out there."
Page also can be counted on to step up and help guide younger players.
"He's pretty vocal," Iversen said. "But you notice when he's in the room. Not just athletically. He's got a great sense of humor and he lightens things up. It's always nice when you have someone with that personality to help at that level."
Which sport does he like best? Football, or wrestling? A tough question for page, who said he favors football ever so slightly. He likes the two sports for different reasons — and a very similar one.
"I like the competition in both," Page said. "In football, I like that there's a team and you can rely on people to have your back. I really just love the game. The thing with wrestling is you have a lot of really good times with your team. You're just not relying on them, I guess. You get good balance in wrestling which helps with football. In football, getting hit makes you more tough and makes it easier to wrestle."
His goal is the same for both sports: "I want to win state."
Lately, Page has spent four mornings a week lifting weights with the Marysville Pilchuck football team. He also heads to Seattle three times a week to work on speed training with a private instructor. He's hoping to once again make an impression on the football field and draw some recruiting interest while doing it.
Carson doesn't think it will be a problem.
"I bet you he's getting some attention wrestling-wise," Carson said. "He's definitely a kid I think could play football in college. I could see him wrestling, too. He could do one or the other. Or both."

Barry Schwartz:
The paradox of choice
Psychologist Barry Schwartz takes aim at a central tenet of western societies: freedom of choice. In Schwartz's estimation, choice has made us not freer but more paralyzed, not happier but more dissatisfied.

44 Now Refusing Gun & Ammo Sales To Law Enforcement
by James Denison - 2/24/13 8:35 PM
Yes, 44 Gun and Ammo Manufacturers are refusing to sell guns and ammo to any state agencies, especially police agencies, in states which have laws interfering with Second Amendment RIGHTS!
I'm sure glad to see this happening. It should have happened a long time before this. I've often said that if the people can't be armed, then the police also should not be armed.
"The list of companies that have stopped selling firearms and ammunition
to law enforcement agencies in states that are restricting the Second
Amendment has more than doubled since Wednesday and is more than five times larger than just one week ago. There are 44 companies on our list, with more being added as we receive notification. Here are the additions since Wednesday:"

SNOW HILL — It took Matt Hendrix and Jin Jeong three trips down the 575-yard par-5 18th — including two trips during a two-man playoff — before the two could separate themselves atop the leaderboard. But in the end, Hendrix was able to outlast the Korean-born Australian to win the third annual Cutter Creek Golf Classic championship on Sunday afternoon.
"I can't say enough about this golf course," Hendrix said. "I knew right away that it just matched the putter I was rolling, the loft of my putter. It felt great."
During the second playoff hole, a second shot approach by Hendrix from about 230 yards out landed just behind the hole — a shot nearly identical to the one he played in the first playoff, both landing between 20 to 30 feet behind the hole.
"I got away with a poor shot in regulation, but I had two good numbers in the playoff," Hendrix said of No. 18. "I put two great swings on it, I couldn't have asked for two better swings of the week at that time."
However, unlike the first playoff when Jeong matched Hendrix's shot, placing his ball on the same line but five feet closer to the pin, Jeong's third shot was a chip from the left side of the green. The attempt left Jeong with a 10-foot putt that he couldn't connect and signaled that Hendrix's two-putt birdie was enough to secure the victory.
"Matt played pretty solid," Jeong said. "He hit the same spots three times in a row and he deserved the victory."
The win this weekend, along with previous tour event finishes, earned Hendrix an exemption into the Utah Championship next month, a stop on the PGA's Web.com Tour.
Although the lead stayed between 12-under and 14-under most of the afternoon, there were no shortage of leaders and ties on the leaderboard among the final four groups to finish up their rounds. The change atop the leaderboard was a trend that held true throughout the Cutter Creek Golf Classic. Eight different golfers (Clayton Rask, Mark Silvers, Ben Klaus, Kevin Hall, Matt Hendrix, Adam Hogue, Jeong and Hendrix) finished a day of the tournament in at least a share of first place, and no golfer held the end-of-round lead more than one day.
"When I saw the leaderboard on the 15th green, there were two or three other 13s on the board," Hendrix said. "I knew there were four or five guys, and the way the wind here on 18, eagle was sitting right there and then anything could happen."
Ken Looper, who started Round 4 at 7-under, hit his stride after making the turn. He birdied the first four holes of the back nine to take the lead before bogeying three of the next four holes.
However, on No. 18 the Mandeville, La., native, had a chance at eagle — and a share of the lead at the time — but came up about three inches short. Looper was one of five golfers — including Hendrix and Jeong — who stepped onto the 18th green with a legitimate shot of taking the lead.
Green, the 54-hole leader, saw his second putt on the final hole lip out to keep him out of the playoff. He was the only golfer to shoot four sub-70 rounds during the tournament.
Travis Hampshire also three putted the final hole to finish 12-under for the tournament.
Hendrix and Jeong, who played together in the penultimate grouping, both teed off of No. 18 in regulation at 4-under on the day. Jeong faced an easy two putt situation but Hendrix was forced to chip it on after missing the green with his approach, far left of the green. Left with a 5-foot putt, he was able to sink the birdie putt and the pair both went to 5-under 67 on the day.
With a tournament purse of $150,000, Hendrix walked away with a $22,000 share for the victory.
"Fortunately, I had enough green to work with," Hendrix said. "I didn't have the best number, as far as a comfortable club… but I was able to hit a great chip shot."

Time for a facelift - Nearly 10 years after its last presentation, the famous Maurice Lacroix Eliros Collection is being relaunched in an elegant and classic design with a high recognition value. The collection which will be available just in time for Christmas at specialized retailers is dedicated to men and women who are looking for a Swiss watch at the entry price level of the luxury segment - whether as gift for a special occasion or for yourself and of course without any compromise on quality. The new Eliros models are powered by a high-quality Swiss quartz movement and equipped with the Maurice Lacroix characteristics such as the sapphire crystal and a stainless steel case water-resistant up to 5 bar. The Eliros watches are available in three different designs: a 40mm stainless steel chronograph model, a 38mm gents three-hand model and its ladies counterpart, a slightly smaller, 30mm version which focuses on the essential, the reading of time, yet subtly enriched with a date indication at 3 o`clock. Printed indexes and four Roman numerals result in a timeless, inconspicuous design of the sun-brushed dial which is available in four different colours: silver, black and anthracite with silver or gold colored indexes and numerals.
The design is completed by colour matching leather straps or milanaise bracelets. The chronograph model reveals a sportier look with a retro-chic case and two harmoniously integrated chronograph push-pieces. The large date displayed at 12 o'clock is a welcome feature that does not impede on the balanced layout and readability of the sub-dials and scales for time measurement. The Eliros chronograph is a truly convincing display of functionalism and sober design that gets rid of all the unnecessary embellishment. The new Maurice Lacroix Eliros collection therefore unveils a much more modern aesthetic. What remains completely unchanged is the quality… and its very attractive price positioning. Last but not least, the stylish "M" logo applied on the bracelet: an unmistakable brand signature.
- Ø 38 mm (gents), 30 mm (ladies)
- Stainless steel or stainless steel with pink gold PVD coating
- Sapphire crystal
- Water-resistant to 50 meters (5 atm)
- Silver, black or anthracite sun-brushed dial
- White lacquered, case with pink gold PVD coating
- 8 printed indexes and 4 Roman numerals
- Silver or gold colored
- Calf leather strap with applied polished brand logo, pin buckle
- or stainless steel milanaise bracelet
- Swiss quartz movement
- Hours, minutes and seconds indicated by central hands
- Date indication at 3 o`clock

Well said daniel.
I want to apologize for my post. I knew that there were talks of passing it on to the ELBOW club but I'm not the one working out the details. I should not have replied so once again I am sorry for the confusion.

Patch 5.4 comes out tomorrow, and there are a fair number of changes for Holy Paladins. Here is a quick rundown of the major changes as I see them.
- Tier 3 talents are rebalanced - Mastery no longer affects the Eternal Flame HoT. The HoT does tick for more healing. Sacred Shield can be maintained on 3 targets. Selfless Healer will give you a Holy Power charge when you Judge (but Judgement increased in cost) and you can get free, instant Divine Light and Holy Radiances. I like the new Sacred Shield. Selfless Healer looks powerful, but you have to change your playstyle.
- Mana changes - Seal of Insight no longer gives back mana. Divine Plea now has no drawback. You should use Divine Plea on cooldown as soon as you have spent some mana. There is no reason to melee anymore.
- Holy Shock improvements - Holy Shock became cheaper and the cooldown is now affected by Haste. Combined with the change to Eternal Flame, Haste might become the new stat of choice.
- Guardian of Ancient Kings - cooldown is lowered, but only heals the target, not multiple people.
- Glyph of Blessing of Sacrifice - removes the drawback on Sacrifice. This is now a must-have.
- AoE Heals - had their mechanics changed to improve performance during raids. They should still heal for the same amount, but they now heal in a slightly different style.

Mayor Scott Ross has taken personal leave from his duties on behalf of the City of West Point and will be unavailable for an undetermined amount of time. Mayor Ross has not resigned and will resume the duties of his office upon the conclusion of his leave.
According to a release from City Hall, Vice-Mayor Keith McBrayer will serve as Mayor during the absence of Ross, and city government will function as normal.
City Attorney Orlando Richmond said there is no specific limitation on how long a mayor can take a leave. Richmond said he doesn't know what day Ross took his leave and doesn't know when he will return, though the release was sent out on Thursday at around 4 p.m.
McBrayer will preside over city board meetings as mayor and be available as mayor.
Ward 5 Selectman Jasper Pittman, who was informed of Ross' leave of absence Wednesday, said he foresees no changes in the functions of the city government with Ross gone. Pittman said he doesn't suspect that Ross' leave has anything to do with relationships between the Mayor and board and said the relationship has been good between the members of the board and Ross.

LA GRANGE — North Lenoir's senior-laden girls team is hopeful as well.
After a mediocre 9-16 season, first-year coach Calvin Sutton plans to pick up the pace and get more players involved.
Senior forward/center Deshona Cox came back from knee surgery near the middle of last season to lead the Hawks in scoring and rebounding, and Sutton wants her teammates to play larger roles.
"I'm trying to make it a more well-balanced offense where the burden and the weight of scoring and trying to win a game isn't on one or two people," Sutton said.
Cox will get help from athletic guard Ta'Breia Foster and 5-foot-10 center Emily Varnell, two of seven seniors on North Lenoir's roster. Sophomore Quoya Porter, who played on the varsity team as a freshman, will run the point.
While Sutton's roster is blessed with experience, he's cautious as he implements the up-tempo game plan. The goal is to move the ball up the floor quickly and distribute it to any number of capable scorers.
Sutton, who also serves as the school's head football coach, said he loves attention to detail and hopes to get his players to embrace the concept.
"If they go out there with the same attention to detail that we give things in practice and the same effort and the same dedication and commitment, that's all I can ask for right now," he said.

You can use the following update site to install this release.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
You can install from the zip by pointing your Eclipse update manager to the downloaded zip file and following the installation instructions.
Snapshot versions targeting Eclipse 3.7 are available. Our 3.7 support is in beta. Although largely working, some functionality may be missing or buggy. You can access the 3.7 update site here:
- Find occurrences in groovy files (CTRL-Shift-U)
- Mark occurrences
- Inline renaming
- Improved syntax highlighting
- Better type inferencing for closures inside DGM calls
- Basic support for Groovy++
- Ability to set Method entry and exit breakpoints
- Timers for AST Transform operations now shown in Groovy Event Console
- Now includes Groovy 1.7.8
- Better ordering for Quick fixes and content assist
- Headless Groovy-Eclipse feature
- Type inferencing for getAt
- Better unicode support
- Performance improvements
- Optional non-jar locking behaviour on Windows
- Compatibility
- Bug fixes
- What's next?
Find occurrences in groovy files (CTRL-Shift-U)
Typing CTRL-Shift-U (or CMD-Shift-U on Macs) in a Groovy editor when selecting an identifier will search for all occurrences of that identifier:
Above, notice how only references to the
val property are highlighted. Other references with the same name are not highlighted.
Mark occurrences
If the feature is enabled in your workspace for Java Editors, then when selecting an identifier all references to that identifier will be marked (no need to explicitly press CTRL+Shift+U, but the results will not appear in the search view). The coloring is slightly different from find occurrences, as you can see in the following screenshot:
In the screenshot above, a reference to the
doOperation closure field currently has the carat and the declaration plus all references are selected. This does not affect the previous search results as you can see.
This behavior is similar to that of the Java editor. In fact, mark occurrences in Groovy editors can be configured in the Java Editor mark occurrences preference page:
Note that, the Groovy editor does not support all the variants of mark occurrences that the Java editor does. It is either enabled completely or disabled completely, which is toggled by selecting Mark occurrences of the selected element in the current file.
Inline renaming
The Groovy editor now supports inline renaming, just like the Java editor. If the preference is set, all calls to Rename Refactor inside the editor will rename the variables inline:
Improved syntax highlighting
Deprecated declarations and references are now highlighted with a strikethrough:
Field and method references are highlighted too, if the preference is set:
Method, field, and deprecation highlighting preferences are borrowed from Java and so they can be configured on the Java syntax highlighting page:
Additionally, we have reworked the Groovy Editor preferences page so that there are more syntax highlighting options. Now, it is possible to highlight the
return keyword separately as well as operators:
Yes. Your Groovy editor can now be made to be very pretty. Explore the
Preferences -> Groovy -> Editor preferences page for a full list of what can be changed and more options for customization.
Better type inferencing for closures inside DGM calls
Standard Default Groovy Method calls like
find, etc are recognized by the inferencing engine and their associated closure parameter type is inferred from the type of the collection being iterated over (if it is known). For example, in the following screenshot the collection is of type
List<String>, and so we can infer that the type of
it is
Basic support for Groovy++
This version of Groovy-Eclipse allows usage of the Groovy++ Ast transforms. Simply grab a version of groovy++ from the Groovy++ project page, for example: groovypp-0.4.170.jar and place the jar on your project classpath. With that in place you can start using static resolution by marking your code with
@Typed. For examples see the http://code.google.com/p/groovypptest/wiki/Welcome.
Ability to set Method entry and exit breakpoints
It is now possible to set breakpoints on method entry and exit in Groovy files. To do so, double-click in the gutter on a line that contains a method declaration. A method entry breakpoint is created:
You can then toggle entry/exit settings in the breakpoint's property page (right-click on the breakpoint and select Breakpoint properties... to get there):
Note that conditional breakpoints are not yet supported in Groovy code.
Timers for AST Transform operations now shown in Groovy Event Console
The Groovy Event Console is available from the console view. To activate it, click on the Open Console button:
Now, interesting Groovy-Eclipse events will be logged to the console view, including information about AST Transforms. Please note: the event console is meant for debugging and diagnostics. It may degrade the performance of Groovy-Eclipse if it is open.
Now includes Groovy 1.7.8
The Groovy compiler for Groovy-Eclipse is 1.7.8. We will be releasing 1.8 support shortly.
Better ordering for Quick fixes and content assist
Suggested types to import in both quick fix and content assist are now ordered based on various criteria so that more common types will be found towards the top of the list. Types imported from
groovyx., and
javax. have higher priority, in that order, than types from other packages as seen in this screen shot where the type
ExtendedList is being imported:
However, if importing types from similarly named packages as well as types declared in the same top level type like a private nested type, the private nested type has higher precedence, followed by public types from similarly named packages, followed by types from
javax., and finally types from other packages. The following screen shows the private type
ExtendedList appearing first in the content assist suggestion, followed by a type from a similarly named package, followed by the remaining suggestions:
Headless Groovy-Eclipse feature
Those who wish to install Groovy-Eclipse without any UI components can do so from the update site. The feature id is
org.codehaus.groovy.headless.feature. This is primarily useful for those who are performing headless builds using PDE or Buckminster. Note that this feature is uncategorized in the update site, so under normal circumstances you will not see it in Eclipse's Update Manager. However, if you uncheck "Group items by category", you will see the feature.
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-716.
Type inferencing for getAt
getAt(String) methods will now be used to feed the inferencing engine when using '[ ]'. For example:
In the preceeding code, notice how the reference to the
name field is correctly resolved to be coming from the MyTree class. The inferencing engine realizes that the use of the '[ ]' corresponds to an invocation of the
getAt method.
Better unicode support
Unicode escape sequences (e.g.,
\uE096) now have correct offsets and lengths in the parse tree, so you can use unicode escape sequences freely in your Groovy code and source locations in your file will not be corrupted.
Performance improvements
We have made several performance enhancements for the 2.1.2 release, below are the two most notable ones. They primarily target content assist.
Code assist performance has been improved
We have tweaked type resolution during content assist, so you should see some improvement in the speed with which code assist proposals are calculated.
Speedier type inferencing
Where appropriate, the inferencing engine will not visit the entire file to determine the type of a single expression. Rather, it will prune the branches of the AST and only visit the method or field declaration that contains the expression to be inferred. This has a noticeable affect on content assist invocation speeds.
Optional non-jar locking behaviour on Windows
On windows there is now an option to try and avoid Groovy-Eclipse locking jars and preventing them from being updated (or removed, in the case of attempting to uninstall a plugin in a grails project). Specify the system property -Dgreclipse.nonlocking=true when starting STS to activate the use of non locking classloaders. If no problems come up over the next few releases this may be made the default mode of operation. Locks should also be released (regardless of that system property setting) if the offending project is closed.
Groovy-Eclipse 2.1.2 includes Groovy 1.7.8 and is installable on STS 2.6.0, Eclipse 3.6.0, 3.6.1, or 3.6.2. Snapshot builds targeting Eclipse 3.7 are available as well. See above for the update site.
Bug fixes
Over 50 issues have been fixed for this release.
What's next?
The 2.2.0 final release is scheduled for the end of June, around the time that STS 2.6.1 and Eclipse 3.7 will be released. We will consider a 2.1.3 release that includes Groovy 1.8 support.
We appreciate community support and feedback. If you wish to join the discussion about Groovy-Eclipse then please sign up for the mailing list. For any issues you have (or enhancements you would like to see), please raise them in our issue tracker. If there is an existing bug fix or enhancement that you require are not seeing any movement on, please make some noise on it (and get your friends to do the same). We respond to community feedback, but we can only do so when we hear from the community.

EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region - Cooperating together for our region
Counting 8 EU countries and 85 million inhabitants, the Baltic Sea region faces common environmental, economic and social challenges which can only be met by working together. This short video explains how, since 2009, the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region strives to shape this area into a regional cooperation model for the whole EU, addressing common challenges and opportunities to save the sea, connect the region and increase prosperity.
Rurban – Finland: Broadband Services for rural areas in Central Finland
29/08/2012In sparsely populated Central Finland, inter-municipal co-operation is a long-standing tradition, with communities entering into voluntary agreements when necessary to provide key services. The European Commission, through the European Regional Development Fund is encouraging co-operative initiatives in Central Finland, including the development of more widespread broadband communications. This kind of action, reaching out to citizens in outlying areas, contributes to achieving the goal of 'smart and inclusive growth'.
RegioStars 2012 - INCLUSIVE GROWTH: O4O - Lifelong experience boosts ageing communities
13/06/2012People in the EU are living longer than ever, and the proportion of the population aged over 55 is growing all the time. In some rural areas on the fringes of northern Europe, many pensioners live by themselves, and risk becoming isolated and marginalised if public transport and other services are not available and they cannot afford special care. In these remote regions, skilled staff, such as carers and nurses, are often hard to recruit and retain. The O4O project – Older people for Older people – co-financed by the European Union, responded to this challenge, using existing skills and experience within ageing communities. O4O shows older people how they can take responsibility for providing the services they need, and organises support across rural Scotland, Finland, Greenland, Northern Ireland and Sweden. At a time when public spending is under pressure in many parts of the EU, the project demonstrates how vital networks and facilities can be maintained in a way that also encourages older people to stay active and make an important contribution to society. Winner of the RegioStars 2012 Award, Inclusive Growth category
VOMARE project, gulf of Finland
04/01/2010This film is one in a series of four reports (on Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark and Finland) produced as part of the launch of the European Baltic Sea Strategy. The films showcase projects co-funded by the European Commission under the ERDF. The VOMARE (Voluntary Maritime Rescue) project, co-funded by the EU's INTERREG IV programme, is aimed at developing cooperation between Finnish and Estonian rescue systems. Bolstered by a century's worth of experience in volunteer maritime rescue, Finland is now sharing its know-how with Estonia and the coastguard service there.

Nice start to your sketchbook. It looks like you have a way with the more foliage based, organic stuff the most. I'd try to bring that same looseness you have with those into your anatomy drawings. You'd be surprised at the kind of marks you can achieve when you don't go into a drawing so tight.

Thank you, Nickodemus. True.. I have just bought a graphite pencil set, and i'll try to be more liberated with my lines. Btw, the pen sketches, and the digital environments in your sketchbook are beautiful.

don't use ballpoint pen for studies.
but nice start, keep on workin'

I won't, you are right, makes lines too thick, and is a waste of time.

I really like the rain. It has a nice, easy feel to it. Keep up the good work.
January 3rd, 2013 #36
Thanks, Madisonpainter! I'm fond of this particular painting (as a beginner of course) , i'm glad you liked it too. Thanks.
January 3rd, 2013 #37
Thanks for the comment! Great amount of work here, the trees and stuff in pen look really nice. You might want to brush up on your perspective and form so you better understand the anatomical forms you're studying. You should try simplifying the forms, turning the figures into boxes to help you understand the forms better

Nice. Keep at it. I started messing w/ digital painting a couple days ago, but I'm thinking I'll head back to drawing foundations for the time being. I suppose there's no reason not to do both, and painting's definitely fun, but I'm feeling the itch to get better at just plain drawing, and fast.
Anyway, keep pushing, as people seem to say around here.

January 24th, 2013 #49
Hi Mepainter, digital paint isn't similar to traditional paint. My suggestion is to read a lot of books about colour, i can suggest 1. Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter by James Gurney and 2.Color Choices: Making Color Sense Out of Color Theory by Stephen Quiller.
January 24th, 2013 #50
Thanks, Nicoleta! Oh i'm desperate for such critiques... I know, my colours and light distribution need some overhaul. Thanks for recommending the books, i'll try searching for them.
January 26th, 2013 #51
HELP! i really want to be good with photoshop.. i can't
January 26th, 2013 #52
Hey man, like the work so far but you're right you need to understand light better! and understand your painting. I like your environments they're nice But your figures and portraits are not too great! For some things you're thinking in the symbols still, eyes do not look like that! Study eyes, study how they are made the structures and planes. For this i recommend the books by andrew loomis or anatomy & figure drawing books by Michael Hampton. For light i again recommend James Gurney's books, all of them really he's brilliant, but more specifically Colour & Light.
(loomis books can be found online for download)
January 26th, 2013 #53
Thanks Katastrophie! I really appreciate your feedback. I will have to buy some drawing books, i have'nt any yet :-0
I'll work on the eyes. Thanks again

Great that you do so many studys. I think you could try to focus for a certain amount of time like two weeks or one month or so all your efforts on one subject you are intersted in the most. I think one studys more efficient like that and you ll see faster results because you focus one one subject only. Furthermore of course always search for fundamental knowledge in literture and the web if you dont yet. You have a nice start here, keep it up!
EDIT: Oh sry I didnt see the second page! Loomis is a great teacher I also just started to study with his figure drawing for all its worth some 3 month ago or sth. I think you would do well if you would first try to push your drawing and then jump to values colour because this way you have a stronger construction and form knowledge on which you can base your painting studys on. But this is also just my personal preference.
