Henry Cavill is Superman in "Man of Steel," which also stars Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, Julia Ormond and Christopher Meloni.
Zade Rosentahl / Paramount Pictures
"Star Trek Into Darkness" stars (from left) Zachary Quinto as Spock, Benedict Cumberbatch as John Harrison, and Chris Pine as Kirk.
Granted, the heroes of "The Great Gatsby" and "Iron Man Three" will probably never see their fictional universes collide, but here they are anyway: spearheading the onslaught of Movie Summer 2013. The "Iron Man" sequel opened last week, and Baz Luhrmann's "Gatsby" leads the pack this weekend.
It's the usual summer mix of sequels, remakes, and animated blockbusters. We'll get the "final" chapter in the "Hangover" series, another sighting of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and the latest installment of the "Fast & Furious" saga, which threatens to run until the end of time.
And speaking of the end of time, two different comedies predict Judgment Day, "The World's End" and "This Is the End." Meanwhile, Will Smith turns up after the apocalypse in "After Earth," a film that presumably plays the destruction of the world without laughs.
Mixed into the fluff and special effects, there are a few literary titles to weave in. Along with F. Scott Fitzgerald and "Gatsby," we'll get some Shakespeare (Joss Whedon does "Much Ado About Nothing"), and Henry James is modernized ("What Maisie Knew"). And of course Adam Sandler stars in "Grown Ups 2," based on the Philip Roth novel.
Just kidding about that last part; "Grown Ups 2" is another sequel. But this summer looks like a mix of old and new, with just enough indie releases and curveballs to keep it interesting. Here's a stroll through the next months at the movies (dates are subject to change).

Vendors, officials, mix in La Jolla
Millions in contracts flow through group
U.S. Communities invites manufacturers of products sold through its contracts to sponsor the program and its conference.
According to the co-op's website, corporate platinum partners get exclusive opportunities to interact with advisory board members and two registrations to the conference, where they will "have the opportunity to interact in a formal and social environment" with board members.
In his statement, Juhring said other cooperatives also bring their members and suppliers together, and pointed to the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO). The group operates a co-op and allows any company to sponsor its annual How To Market To State Governments Meeting in order to attend.
Juhring said that attendees of the U.S. Communities conferences understand that their first obligation is to the communities that they serve.
"Accordingly, they will always be relied on to make decisions that are in the best interest of those communities," Juhring said. "If that means using another purchasing cooperative to access goods or services, then that's what they do and we respect and encourage their decision."
Like some other cooperatives, U.S. Communities is funded by its vendors, who pay fees equal to a minimum of 1 percent of sales made through their contracts. According to its website, U.S. Communities contracts are used for more than $1.4 billion in purchases annually and the public agencies who use them save hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
The website also suggests more than half of the country's estimated 90,000 public agencies are registered with the co-op. Some members in San Diego County are the county itself, the cities of San Diego, El Cajon and Carlsbad, and the San Diego Unified School District.
According to reports they provided to the Watchdog, between fiscal years 2009 and 2011, El Cajon spent $37,129 through the co-op's contracts, Carlsbad spent $322,697, and San Diego County spent $6.9 million. Between calendar years 2008 and 2010, the city of San Diego spent $4.6 million and the San Diego Unified School District spent $20.8 million.
San Diego Unified's chief purchaser, Arthur Hanby, sits on the U.S. Communities Advisory Board and has attended its conference multiple times, according to his state-mandated financial forms and the district's website.
In order for Hanby or any other official to serve on the advisory board, their agencies must certify in writing that they will abide by the responsibilities U.S. Communities expects of its advisory board.
Aside from participating in the board's regular teleconferences and its annual conference and assisting with bids, other board member responsibilities include using multiple U.S. Communities contracts, acting as a reference for the co-op, and promoting the program to other agencies.
Hanby has served on the advisory board since before coming to San Diego Unified in 2005. After he came to the district, it increased its annual purchases from the co-op from $49,000 in 2005 to $6.1 million in 2007, according to reports that tracked the business brought in by each advisory board member.
Asked for this story if involvement with the U.S. Communities Advisory Board poses a potential conflict of interest for the district, San Diego Unified did not respond.

A major two-day law enforcement blitz aimed at verifying compliance of more than 200 registered sex offenders currently residing in three southern West Virginia counties resulted in numerous arrests, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin, U.S. Marshal John D. Foster, and West Virginia State Police Superintendent Col. Jay Smithers announced today during a press conference in Chapmanville, W.Va.
The initiative, known as Operation Coal Dust, is a multi-agency law enforcement effort targeting registered sex offenders to determine individual compliance with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, also known as SORNA. Led by the U.S. Marshals Service's Cops United Felony Fugitive Enforcement Division (CUFFED), Operation Coal Dust targeted 209 registered sex offenders and found a total of 10 individuals out of compliance within the Southern District of West Virginia during compliance checks conducted by law enforcement on Tuesday and Wednesday (Aug. 6-7) of this week.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said, "Registering as a sex offender is not optional. It's not something that offenders can simply put on the back burner or casually get around to completing whenever they feel like it. It's mandatory." Goodwin continued, "I've made prosecuting sex offenders who violate federal registration requirements one of my office's top priorities. Today I want to reiterate that message: If you are out of compliance, we will track you down and we will bring you to justice."
Attorney Goodwin says there are more than 3,000 sex offenders throughout the state and those numbers are growing by 400 a year and he says enforcing the law is no small undertaking, it takes the devotion of a unit within the state police to monitor these sex offenders.
"The level of compliance we are seeing is pretty remarkable. A very, very high level of compliance that can be tied directly back to the hard work of the W.Va. State Police and the U.S. Marshal Service," said Goodwin.
Operation Coal Dust was initiated by West Virginia State Police members based in Boone, Lincoln and Logan counties, along with the U.S. Marshals Service's CUFFED Division. The two-day law enforcement sweep targeted Boone, Lincoln and Logan counties. Out of the 209 compliance checks performed in those specific counties, three arrests were made by police with more likely to come.
One of those arrested was David B. Williams, 53, of Logan, had relocated his residence and was employed by A-1 Construction, both of which violated his obligation to update his sex offender registration when he failed to report each within ten days.
"One registered sex offender out of compliance is one too many," U.S. Marshal John Foster said. "The U.S. Marshals Service is thoroughly committed to tracking down fugitives who attempt to sidestep the law."
Foster said it is important for everyone and told the story of talking with Megan's mother of Megan's Law. She told him if she had known a sex offender lived next door, her daughter might still be alive.
"It's not just knowing that someone is there, it's knowing that they are in compliance. It's knowing that they are not on computers, that they're not enticing other little kids, that they're not violating the law," said Foster, "We make them walk a strict line because that is what the law requires. When I say we, I mean the West Virginia the West Virginia State Police. I cannot sing their praises high enough. They are doing a fantastic job. It is an honor and a privilege to work with the West Virginia State Police. This is something the take very seriously. The superintendent has talked about this as a top priority for them because we are talking the safety of our children and others — those who cannot protect themselves. That's what our job is and why it is so vitally important."
West Virginia State Police Superintendent Col. Jay Smithers said, "Efforts like Operation Coal Dust are extremely important. This particular undertaking is another tool that law enforcement has used to reinforce our commitment to safe communities throughout southern West Virginia."
Smithers says they check offenders regularly for non-compliance. They check to be sure the offenders are living where they say they live, where they work, and they gather other general information that is checked to be sure it is accurate and factual.
Foster says the state police are not only enforcing compliance through the operations, they are out there regularly checking on them.
"This is an ongoing venture, this isn't just a one-time thing that we do periodically. I believe that is why our results this time was better than the other operations. They are diligently out there. The troopers are knocking on the doors. They are checking to make sure they are in compliance. I think we should be very proud of our state police."
Foster says registered offenders "state shop." They check to see how strict states are in enforcing compliance and which states check the least.
"A lot of them aren't coming here and that speaks highly of what West Virginia is doing."
In December, a similar law enforcement sweep known as Operation River Cities was initiated in Cabell, Mingo and Wayne counties. As a result of the 299 compliance checks conducted as part of Operation River Cities, 18 arrests were made by law enforcement.
The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act is part of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-248). SORNA provides a comprehensive set of minimum standards for sex offender registration and notification in the United States.

Vitamin D deficiency — when the level of vitamin D in your body is too low — can cause your bones to become thin, brittle or misshapen. The role of vitamin D and insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and immune function — and how these relate to heart disease and cancer — is under investigation.
Although the amount of vitamin D adults get from their diet is often less than what's recommended, exposure to sunlight can make up for the difference. For most adults, vitamin D deficiency is not a concern. However, some groups — particularly people with dark skin and adults older than age 65 — may not get enough vitamin D in their diet or get enough sunlight for their bodies to produce it.
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for adults is 600 IU of vitamin D a day. That goes up to 800 IU a day for those older than age 70. To meet this level, choose foods that are rich in vitamin D. For example, choose fortified foods such as milk and yogurt and fatty fish such as salmon, trout, tuna and halibut.
Don't over do it, though. Very high levels of vitamin D have not been shown to provide greater benefits. In fact, too much vitamin D has been linked to other health problems.
If you're concerned about whether you're getting enough vitamin D, talk to your doctor about your diet and whether a vitamin supplement might benefit you.

Men's Lacrosse Cruises Again with 12-4 Win at Florida Southern
March 6, 2011
LAKELAND, F.L. Pfeiffer Universitys James Shepherd slammed home four more goals on Sunday night leading to a 12-4 win at Florida Southern in non-conference mens lacrosse action on Sunday night. The Falcons continued to roll after a 7-0 halftime lead improving to 4-1 on the year while the Mocs fall to 2-4.
Kory Lutes started the evening with the first of his three in the first half at 6:08 while Shepherd converted his first with 2:34 left in the initial quarter. After Elliot Gilbert, Justin Rose and Shepherd all hit in a 1:19 span, Lutes closed out the second quarter with two goals in six seconds, including one at the buzzer, for the seven point halftime lead.
After a couple of strikes from Florida Southern to start the third, Tucker Hammock tallied a man-up goal to put the Falcons up 8-2. Rose and Shepherd would each register a pair of goals over the next 5:03 of action to finish scoring on the night.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Tuesday taking on Notre Dame de Namur in a neutral site contest beginning at 12:00 p.m.

Simple and Sweet Labels
I think these are really simple and sweet. All of my stationary including save the dates have the pine trees on them so everything is coordinated and these labels are perfect for that. They are larger than they appear, the mailing labels is approximately 5.5 cm by 2cm and the other label is 2cm by 2cm. Getting the color and text "just right" can be a frustrating process on the site, but the end result is worth it.
Great product!
Return address is 'average' size, which was a bit large for our save the date envelopes, but they still look and worked great!

The last few weeks, I've been working with my colleagues in the Senate to secure an extension of long-term unemployment benefits that is paid for and will help Ohioans who are still struggling in this economy. I wish we didn't need an extension at all, but even five years after the recession officially ended, too many of our friends and neighbors are still out of a job. In fact, the number of those who have been searching for work for at least six months remains at historically high levels, far above even what we've seen at the height of previous recessions.
An unemployment extension is not a moment for celebration; it's a moment for reflection on what hasn't worked in the past to spur job creation for the American people and what we can do better in the future.
Washington should be enacting pro-growth policy proposals like regulatory relief, tax reform, new agendas to expand exports, and the aggressive development of domestic energy, the Keystone Pipeline, and energy efficiency. But Washington should also fix our unemployment system itself. Right now, it is failing those it was designed to help. Research shows that even during good economic times, only about 15 percent of the long-term unemployed find a job in any given month. They also tend to have trouble staying employed; only 11 percent are able to find and keep a job for a full year.
To begin to address this failed system, I fought to include these reforms that we've needed for a very long time in the final agreement on an unemployment extension. We want to ensure that the unemployed are getting more than just a check; we want them to receive the training they need to get a job and keep it. Our reforms require officials to connect the unemployed with training programs that will help them attain critical skills and credentials that are regionally relevant and nationally portable.
These steps, however, are only the beginning. We also need to provide fundamental and comprehensive reform of the 47 different, often overlapping, federal workforce development programs—costing over $15 billion in taxpayer dollars a year—that aren't accomplishing their mission of connecting the unemployed with jobs.
In an effort to address the deficiencies in these programs and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not being wasted on retraining that doesn't work, Senator Michael Bennet and I introduced the bipartisan CAREER Act. Our legislation not only makes job-retraining programs more effective and efficient, but also incentivizes success. We give states the flexibility to use a portion of their retraining funds on programs that are accountable and performance-based, rewarding job-training providers that produce measurable results in job placement and retention.
We desperately need that kind of reform right now to begin to close what is called the skills gap. At the same time we are experiencing these high levels of long-term unemployment, there are 3.9 million available jobs around the country—100,000 unfilled jobs in Ohio alone. These are not just part-time or minimum wage positions. According to a recent study, Ohio is third behind only California and Texas in skilled factory job openings—full-time jobs with benefits that often turn into long-term careers. The Manufacturing Institute recently concluded that 74 percent of manufacturers are experiencing workforce shortages or skill deficiencies that keep them from expanding their operations.
And yet according to a recent report from the Government Accountability Office, the number of training participants who are earning in-demand skills and credentials through the federal government's primary job training programs has dropped by as much as 15 percent in the past five years.
The reforms included in the unemployment extension and in the CAREER Act will help turn that decline around and mobilize some of the extraordinary resources available in Ohio that provide quality training. Last week, I had the opportunity to visit retraining programs at Stark State College in Stark County and the Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Technology Education Collaborative (RAMTEC) and Tri-Rivers Career Center in Marion County. These facilities are working directly with industry to provide cutting-edge skills and credentials that are relevant to jobs available in Ohio and necessary to compete in a global economy.
We don't have to accept the kind of chronic long-term unemployment we have seen over the last few years. We can do better. We know that Ohio workers aren't looking for a handout; they are looking for a job. By adding skills training that works, we can help get them find one.

For those who like a lot of jest in their Shakespeare, 'Romeo to Go' is a full entree.
It is a high-octane farce on the Bard's famous "Romeo and Juliet."
The show is the work of New Bern Civic Theatre's youth troupe — the Saax Bradbury Players.
Rehearsals are ongoing until the July 12 opening at the Pollock Street Athens Theatre.
There will be four performances at 7:30 p.m., July 12, 13, 19 and 20. Two afternoon matinees are featured on July 14 and 21.
Tickets are $14 in advance, $16 at the door and $10 for students and active duty military with ID.
The Saax Bradbury Players is all-teen troupe developed in the 1980s. Reinstated in 2009, they are gearing up for their fourth performance.
The local show is directed by Georgie Blackerby and produced by Chelsey McCotter.
"The teens see the project through from beginning to end, teaching leadership, team-building, responsibility and technical skills," said Blackerby.
The Saax Bradbury Players offered this overview of a play within a play, written by Jonathan Rand:
"Due to budget cuts, there will only be a single session of Drama One for the entire school year — and the class will only last 20 minutes. To make matters worse, the students are required to perform an entire Shakespeare play for a school-wide assembly during a time slot of only 10 minutes.
"Under the direction of the egomaniacal Mrs. Gunnysack, the beginner students must pull together for the fastest, cleanest, lowest-budget rendition of 'Romeo and Juliet' the world has ever seen, complete with a makeshift balcony, interpretive dance fight sequences and an Elizabethan hip-hop dance party that would even make P. Diddy shake his tail feather with Shakespearean pride. 'Romeo to Go' is a wacky, dancing, entrancing comedy based on the greatest love story ever told."
The cast includes: Caleb Puchalski, Lease Bae Bryant, Dalton Dziwanowski, Braedon Welsh, Kelly Rogers, Mimi Bobbitt, Wesley Gerard, Madison Marcantel, Molly Rivenbark, Noah Auten, Donny Stewart, Hannah-Marie Moreland, Sam Stitchberry, Anna Dziwanowski, Abeer Askar, Tevondre Bryant, Marquise Johnson and Gabi Boccia.
The technical crew includes: Kristopher Pierson, lighting mentor; Alex Norwood, lighting and design; Brittany Lewis, sound and design; Mike Lewis, lighting mentor; Michael Krauss, set designer; Mimi Bobbit, costume designer; and Abby Snook, marketing.
The crew includes: Will Hardee, Lia Thurber, Cameron Sittig, Nora Blalock, Garret Troumbley, Jane Blackerby and Lucas Dembart.

VANCEBORO — Josh Cuthbertson and Jamie Cherry spend countless hours in the gym — perfecting their jump shots and improving their all-around game.
West Craven's stars led their team to conference championships and a trip to the 3-A Eastern Regionals.
Their extensive work was rewarded.
Cuthbertson, a senior, was voted to the Associated Press All-State Boys' Basketball Team. Cherry, a junior, earned a spot on the Associated Press All-State Girls' Basketball Team.
Both are repeat honorees. It's the third year in a row that Cherry was picked for the all-state squad.
The all-state teams were voted on by sports editors and reporters from across the state.
"It's a great honor to be put in the same category as some of the best players in the state," Cherry said. "To be able to do it my third time, it is a great feeling."

Men's Journal Names Reno among Top 25 Places to Live
If you live in Reno or have been lucky enough to visit, you know it's a no-brainer. It's a great getaway, let alone a fantastic place to reside. There's never a dull moment in the Biggest Little City, from year-round entertainment, recreational options galore and all at an affordable cost. Men's Journal Magazine recognizes Reno's AAA Aces ballpark, the Riverwalk District, Artown and the city's proximity to abundant outdoor recreations as several reasons why Reno had to be among the top 25 cities for "Best Places to Live 2010", according to the April issue of Men's Journal magazine.
The top 25 cities were included in various categories and determined by three variables including median home price, cost of living compared to the rest of the United States and number of sunny days per year. Reno is featured as tops for "Ski and Climb Without the Crowds" listing Reno's median home price as $274,670, its cost of living as 13 percent higher than the rest of the nation, and boasting 252 sunny days per year.
"Having Reno named one of the best places to live is a huge honor for our city and residents," said Reno Mayor Bob Cashell. "We all know why we love this place, but the national recognition helps build credibility for our city as a top place to live, work and raise a family. It also gets the word out about what makes our city so special including our downtown baseball park, Artown and burgeoning downtown."
"Reno making a top places to live list helps increase awareness nationwide that Reno Tahoe is a happening place where locals and visitors alike can enjoy all this area offers, from downtown fun to high altitude adventure." said Ellen Oppenheim, Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA) President and CEO. "The recent investment in area hotel-casino properties, spas and restaurants are additional outstanding amenities locals and visitors can take advantage of."
The April issue of Men's Journal featuring the "Best Places to Live 2010" is on newsstands now or visit www.mensjournal.com.
Men's Journal has previously ranked Reno's historic Old Southwest as one of 'The Best Neighborhoods in America' in their June 2009 issue.
We've been tooting our own horn for a while. It's nice to get some validation, though, dontcha think?

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose severe liver disease and certain genetic urea cycle disorders; to help investigate the cause of changes in behavior and consciousness; to support the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy and Reye's syndrome
When to Get Tested?
When someone experiences mental changes or lapses into a coma of unknown origin; when an infant or child experiences frequent vomiting and increased lethargy as a newborn or about a week after a viral illness
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
You should not smoke cigarettes prior to collection of the specimen.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of ammonia in the blood. Ammonia is a compound produced by intestinal bacteria and by cells in the body during the digestion of protein. It is a waste product that is normally transported to the liver, where it is converted into urea and glutamine. The urea is then carried to the kidneys, where it is excreted in the urine. If this "urea cycle" does not complete the breakdown of ammonia, ammonia builds up in the blood and passes through the blood/brain barrier. Other sources of ammonia are kidney and muscle.
In the brain, ammonia and other compounds metabolized by the liver can accumulate and cause hepatic encephalopathy when liver function is reduced due to disorders such as cirrhosis or hepatitis. Hepatic encephalopathy causes mental and neurological changes that can lead to confusion, disorientation, sleepiness, and eventually to coma and even death. Infants and children with increased ammonia levels may vomit frequently, be irritable, and be increasingly lethargic. Left untreated, they may experience seizures, respiratory difficulty, and may lapse into a coma.
Problems with ammonia processing can arise from several sources, including:
- Severe liver disease – damage limits the ability of the liver to metabolize ammonia; acute increases in ammonia may be seen in people with stable liver disease, especially following a triggering event such as gastrointestinal bleeding or an electrolyte imbalance.
- Decreased blood flow to liver – ammonia is less able to get to the liver to be metabolized.
- Reye's syndrome – a rare condition that affects the blood, brain, and liver; it is characterized by a rise in ammonia levels and a fall in glucose and affects primarily children and young adults. In most cases, it follows and appears to be triggered by a viral infection. Children who use aspirin are at an increased risk.
- Renal failure – the kidneys are unable to effectively rid the body of urea, leading to a build-up of ammonia in the blood.
- Rare inherited defects in the urea cycle – a deficiency or defect in one or more of the enzymes necessary to complete the conversion of ammonia to urea.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Avoid smoking cigarettes prior to collection of the specimen and follow any other instructions you are given.

A movie (also called a motion picture) is a set of consecutive images that move in sequence, giving viewers the illusion of continuous, fluid movement. Movies refer to scripted, edited and professionally made visual productions that are distributed by major film companies or their subsidiaries. Movies are usually distributed to screening theaters where they run for weeks or months. Most movies are then remastered for home viewing via DVD or digital means.
Movies are made using a three-part production process. Pre-production involves preparing the script, cast, props, locations, special effects, set construction and production schedule. Production denotes the actual movie shooting and recording. Video is captured using cameras to photograph series of images in motion, while sound is recorded through various microphones and mixed with the video. In post-production, the camera and sound reels are edited together (usually digitally), re-shoots take place, sound, music, titles and special effects are added as the movie is readied for distribution.
Since the advent of their colorless and soundless predecessors in the late 1800s, movies have become wildly popular forms of entertainment. Over time, Hollywood, Calif., became the epicenter of the moviemaking industry and many innovations such as digital editing, 3-D movies and CGI have developed over the years. (Photo: Shutterstock)

Scouting Report-Robinson is one of those outstanding players, who no one really gets to see be outstanding. The reason is, he doesn't get thrown on a lot, and typically when he's covering his man, he doesn't get a ton of TV time. That's unfortunate becuase he really is an exceptional player. I actually have gone back and watched 4 of his games from this year, and like him much more now. His size and bulk are more than adequate for the NFL. He has much better top end speed than I realized. And he's got really quick feet which is a good thing and a bad thing. his hip turn is a little slow so he is losing speed in his turn. Comparing him to Florida's Joe Haden, Robinson has a much more deliberate turn, and you can see him have to catch up, whereas Haden loses almost nothing in his turn.
I like the fact Robinson has shown himself as a leader on the field after his off-field problems. He makes defensive calls and adjustments for his teammates and that's a very good thing. Now, in terms of his own play, he's going to make NFL fans pull out their hair at times, because his tendency to go for the big play costs him on the back end at times.
Draft Status-At this point the no.2 CB in this draft is sort of up in the air, but Robinson has taken ahold for me. Being the no.2 corner behind a talent like Joe Haden is nothing to be ashamed of, and with more and more pass first offenses in the NFL, he's almost assured to be a top 20 pick.
Final Analysis-I'm not ashamed to admit I've come around some on Robinson. I think his shortcomings, mainly his lack of technique in press coverage, his lack of aggression and sound fundamentals in run support, and those stiff hips sort of kept me from seeing the good about his game. His ability to diagnose a play, read the QB, his hands (which are exceptional) plus the fact quarterbacks avoided him more this year, all work to his advantage. I think he'll make a solid NFL corner, especially in a system that plays more off coverage and allows for a safety over the top when he goes for the pick 6.
Reminds me of-Andre' Goodman, CB Denver Broncos-Both similar in size and style of play, I consider Robinson an upgraded version of Goodman. Good ball skills, not great run defender, and a very smart football player.

Research News
JobsOhio's Mark Kvamme Visits Kent State University's Centennial Research ParkPosted Jul. 26, 2011
State's Chief Jobs Czar Also Meets Privately with Portage County Companies Whose Product Production Uses the University's Liquid Crystal Technology
Kent State University received Mark Kvamme, the newly installed interim chief investment officer and president of JobsOhio, on Tuesday, July 26. JobsOhio is the private economic development agency established by Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio legislature. Kvamme visited the university's Centennial Research Park and three Portage County manufacturing firms that are all licensees of technology developed through research at Kent State's Liquid Crystal Institute®.
Prior to visiting Kent State's Centennial Research Park, at an event organized by NorTech, Kvamme participated in a roundtable meeting at Kent Displays Inc. (www.kentdisplays.com) to discuss the FlexMattersSM Cluster, a high-growth economic sector tracked and promoted by NorTech. "As members of the FlexMatter Cluster and partners with NorTech to promote regional economic development, we think Mr. Kvamme's visit highlights the tremendous manufacturing capabilities concentrated in the city of Kent and Portage County," said Kent State Vice President for University Relations Iris Harvey, who participated in the roundtable discussion.
Created in 1965, Kent State's Liquid Crystal Institute is the most comprehensive research and educational center in the field of liquid crystals. The applications of breakthrough findings at the institute have had an impact on the world, from liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions to computer monitors to new electronic devices, like the iPad.
Kvamme toured the Kent State Centennial Research Park and its two tenants. Centennial Research Park provides space and support for specialized companies to thrive and grow near the university and its other partners. The 41,000-square-foot research park houses two high-tech companies – AlphaMicron Inc. (www.alphamicron.com) and Crystal Diagnotics (www.crystaldiagnostics.com) – that have their roots in liquid crystal research activities launched at Kent State.
Founded in 1997 by former faculty members of Kent State's Liquid Crystal Institute, AlphaMicron designs and manufactures high-tech military and consumer products. AlphaMicron was the first in the world to market a flexible liquid crystal device, and in 2008, it landed the single largest award from the the Ohio Third Frontier program for $5 million for research related to its commercial windows project. Crystal Diagnostics, formerly known as Pathogen Systems Inc., was founded in 2006 as a licensee of fundamental liquid crystal biosensor technologies developed jointly by a research partnership between Kent State and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), previously known as the Northeastern Ohio Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy or NEOUCOM.
Kvamme's visit to Portage County was part of efforts organized by NorTech, a regional nonprofit technology-based economic development organization, to introduce the state's chief job czar to the FlexMatter Cluster's capabilities, strengths and opportunities and to provide feedback on how the state government can assist in the growth of flexible electronics. The FlexMatters initiative was announced in 2006 by Dr. John West, Kent State researcher and chemistry professor from the university's Liquid Crystal Institute who also served as the first NorTech Senior Fellow.
Following the roundtable, Kvamme toured Kent Displays' facility. Kent Displays was the first successful spin-off of the Liquid Crystal Institute that was founded in 1993 and funded primarily by Manning Ventures of Rochester, N.Y. The company is a world leader in research, development and manufacture of Reflex™ No Power liquid crystal displays for unique applications, such as electronic skins, writing tablets, smartcards and eReaders. Last year, Kent Displays launched a hot new consumer electronics product, the Boogie Board™ LCD Writing Tablet, an ecologically friendly, paperless product.

Pardon Croatan's Kyle Hopewell if he feels like he's living a dream, but that's how he's feeling these days.
And why not?
Not only is the 6-foot-2, 236-pounder headed to
If that's not enough, consider this:
A dream come true? You bet. Heck, if this were a MasterCard commercial, you could have the 17-year-old
"I'm just on cloud nine right now," he said. "It's kind of surreal still that I'm going to be able to carry out my dream and play in college. I never really pictured it because I got cut in seventh grade from the football team.
"I didn't even play quarterback. They had me playing guard. I was really confused as to why I was playing that position. So I went out to camps and they said, 'Oh, you'd make a pretty good quarterback.' So I just struck through with it and I guess it worked itself out."
But because he committed to Endicott on his visit,
"I knew that going to Endicott was the right choice,"
"They said that if I learned how they called their plays — it's really a simple system — that I could go up there and start day one going in as a freshman," he said. "That was one of the reasons I went up there and I committed.
"They didn't have a definitive No. 1 quarterback. It surprised me. I went up there and it was definitely all I could imagine."
And while the weather will take getting used to — on his visit there was 3 feet of snow on the ground,
After signing with Endicott,
"The day I signed I went and called my coach and I said, 'Is there a (summer) workout out yet?' He's like, 'We don't have one. But we have our 2012 workout,'"
"So I started my workout in February. I just got my summer one a month ago, and I've been doing that. That included my throwing and it changed up my conditioning a little. So it was a little change of pace."

Watch Your Portions
Portion distortion is a common problem for everyone. The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute notes that the average store-bought muffin 20 years ago weighed 1.5 ounces and had 210 calories. Today's average version is 4 ounces and 500 calories!
Most of us underestimate how much we are actually eating, so do learn more about portion sizes. This becomes easier when you remember the visuals: a light bulb represents 1/2 cup of cooked grains like quinoa or rice, a serving of beef or pork compares to a deck of cards, 1.5 ounces of cheese is the size of three dice and a muffin for a snack should be no larger than a hockey puck.
With gluten-free products, especially baking, it's essential to keep in mind that they are often smaller in size yet higher in calories than gluten-containing counterparts. This is because a larger quantity of gluten-free flours, starches and fats are frequently used to help the product bind together and be more palatable. So check out the nutrition facts label to see the serving size and fat, sugar and calorie amount.
Also, limit your intake of gluten-free goodies such as cookies, brownies, cakes and pastries. Have them for a treat, and not every day. Choose products made with healthier gluten-free grains, flours and seeds such as amaranth, buckwheat, whole grain corn, flax, millet, quinoa, rice (black, brown, red or wild), sorghum, teff, legume and nut flours.

Ice skating returns to Graham starting Saturday.
For the second consecutive year, a rink designed to simulate the feel of ice is being installed behind the Children's Museum of Alamance County at 217 S. Main St.
On Tuesday, employees of the Graham Recreation and Parks Department were putting the rink in place. It is made up of polymer sections that attach to each other before being sprayed with an enhancer to create a surface similar to ice.
"That makes the surface slick," said Carlyn Sautter, the department's program supervisor. "If it rains at all, it gets a little bit slicker."
For beginners, Sautter said, "It's a little bit easier than skating on real ice." Experienced skaters, she said, typically have to adjust a little.
Beginning Saturday and running through Dec. 8, children and adults can pay $5 for a 45-minute skating session. There is a limit of 40 people on the ice for each session.
Sautter said ice skates – both figure skates and hockey skates – are available in all sizes and are included in the price.
The rink is made of materials rented from a company in Greenville, S.C. Sautter said part of the money raised will go to the children's museum, while the recreation department hopes to set money aside to buy its own materials for a rink.
Last year, Sautter said, more than 1,300 people visited the rink to skate.
"Word of mouth got around," she said, and sessions filled up fast. Sautter suggested people get tickets early. Tickets will be sold at Graham City Hall, at 201 S. Main St., during normal office hours and at the rink during evenings when it is open.
Hours for skating sessions from Nov. 24 through Dec. 8 (with the final hour listed the start time for the night's final 45-minute session) will be:
- Saturday, Nov. 24 and Saturday, Dec. 8: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
- Saturday, Dec. 1: Noon to 9 p.m. (No morning hours as the result of the city's Christmas parade).
- Sundays: 1 to 9 p.m.
- Mondays: Sessions at 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
- Tuesdays through Thursdays: 5 to 8 p.m.
- Fridays: 5 to 9 p.m.
Here is a listing of special events at the rink, with price included if applicable:
- Monday, Nov. 26 and Monday, Dec: 3: Broom hockey games at 5 and 7 p.m.
- Wednesday, Nov. 28 and Wednesday, Dec. 5: "Skate with your favorite characters" night, with Batman and Belle the first night and Spider-Man and Snow White the second night.
- Friday, Nov. 30 and Friday, Dec. 7: Campfire night, with S'mores sold for two for $1.
- Saturday, Dec. 1 after sunset: Fireworks display.
- Saturday, Dec. 8 from 1 to 3 p.m.: Cookies with Santa. The cost is $3 per child for a visit from Santa, a cookie from Santa and a photo to be emailed to the child's family.
During the dates the rink is open, hot chocolate and limited food items will be sold.

Patient Comments: Ear Tubes - ExperienceFind a local Ear, Nose, & Throat Doctor in your town Ear tubes facts Recurrent ear infections may require insertion of ear tubes. Ear tube placement involves a tiny incision in the ear drum. It is helpful to understand what to expect before, during, and after surgery. Ear tubes can have complications, it is important to follow of the doctor's directions following surgery. Introduction The following information is provided to help you understand more clearly the associated benefits, risks, and complications of ear tube surgery. Ask your doctor any questions that you feel necessary to help you better understand the procedure.What is the purpose of ear tubes? Middle ear infections (otitis media) are common in children. When a child has repeated ear infections or fluid build-up in the ears that do not go away easily or there are hearing problems or speech delays, a doctor may recommend surgery to insert an ear tube to allow the eardrum to equalize the pressure.The surgery, called a myringotomy, is a tiny incision in the eardrum. Any fluid, usually thickened secretions will be removed. In most situations, a small plastic tube (a tympanostomy tube) is inserted into the eardrum to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time. These ventilating tubes remain in place for six months to several years. Eventually, they will move out of the eardrum (extrude) and fall into the ear canal. Your doctor may remove the tube during a routine office visit or it may simply fall out of the ear.Less common conditions that may call for the placement of ear tubes are malformation of the ear drum or Eustachian tube, Down's syndrome, cleft palate, and barotrauma (middle ear injury caused by a reduction of air pressure), according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology.

Midwest Living Review
There's satisfaction when shopping results in the peace of goodwill, which could explain why fair trade awareness is on the rise. This annual fair trade craft show brings nearly 100 vendors together at a one-stop fair trade shopping destination, timed perfectly to meet your holiday needs. Granted, you won't find those sleek heels or this season's must-have handbag, but there are plenty of sophisticated gifts on display. Artwork, candles, jewelry, scarves, purses, yarn, clothing, lotions, chocolate, rugs, pottery, coffee, house wares, books, food items -- it's all here. If you're drawn to stores like World Market and Pier One, you can get the real things at this show knowing your dollar is making a difference. Take the beautiful wire-and-bead owl figurine whose proceeds fund HIV prevention in Africa and Wisconsin alike, or the handprint-covered Toca Aqui ("Touch Here") dishtowels made by orphans in Sao Paula, Brazil. The best part of the show, by far, are the stories you'll hear from vendors eager to discuss causes close to their hearts. You'll walk away from this shopping experience with your head held high (and your belly full of treats like Terra Source fine vegan dark chocolate, YUM.) Don't forget the bonus of downtown Madison; the show is housed in the lower level of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Terrace Convention Center, right on the isthmus the city is famous for. Once inside, ask for directions -- there's always a lot going on at the convention center, even in winter. Parking is $4; coat racks are on site.

Both Swim Teams Fall at Catawba
November 14, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Both Pfeiffer University swim teams dropped decisions last Saturday in a dual meet at Catawba College. The Lady Falcons fell victim to the Catawba Indians 128-56 while the men fell 106-96 in the last race of the day. Catawba out-touched the Falcons by .06 seconds in the 200 free relay to secure the meet win.
Samantha Maness (Conway, SC) and Julianna Prim (Yadkinville, NC) started the day off with individual wins in the 1000 and 200 freestyle swims.

AHA 2015 in the News
The 129th annual meeting triggered a flurry of articles about AHA sessions, affiliate meetings, and the AHA business meeting. AHA Today hosted a series of guest blog posts from annual meeting attendees, and AHA staff reflected on the meeting in the February and March issues of Perspectives.
Poster Presenters
Poster sessions provide a unique way for historians to present their work in an engaging and visual format. We've compiled a range of sources on the benefits of presenting a poster, howe the format works, and how to craft an effective poster.
Videos from AHA 2015
The AHA's Annual Meeting is a great place to hear about the latest in historical scholarship and practice. Our sessions focus on many different topics, from the histories of places and periods to the uses of history itself in a wide variety of venues. Nearly 300 sessions were held at the 2015 meeting in New York. Several of these sessions were recorded, and we have posted them online for your reference. These videos should be helpful for future session organizers or those who were unable to attend the meeting. We also recorded panels that might be suitable for use in a classroom.

And saying "you didn't poll EVERYONE" is like putting your head in the sand. The name clearly has not had the effect Tom Benson would have wanted. People are laughing at the name and sports radio across the country (at least in San Francisco, NY and Chicago) started the day with the topic of "What are other terrible sports nicknames?" Will this change over time? Sure it can, but to sit here and argue that the name is a "smart" choice would be foolhardy. Has Bobcats been a good choice in names? No -- you'd have to be deaf, blind, and dumb to think that rebrand worked. Maybe over a longer period of time, but not right now.
And there's no right or wrong here. For every reversal in decision, there's also been a decision laced in stubbornness that has worked. Steve Jobs didn't believe in surveys or focus groups because he believed he knew better and 'regular' people have no vision.
But there's also GAP who changed logos for what seemed like a day before they said "oops, sorry, going back to our old one since y'all clearly don't like it." Coke has done it as well. So there's no right or wrong way to go about it.
At the end of the day, everyone needs to realize that the other side has a point. We need to wait and see (like Smirk has said) but we shouldn't just think any choice is great because we know of a few people who like it (when most clearly think its laughable).

The New Bern Bears (3-2) asserted themselves early and often in Friday's 48-9 victory over the Laney Buccaneers(2-2) at Caruso-Coates Stadium.
Laney received the first possession and fumbled three plays later, with Deandre Jones recovering the spill.
On the very next play, Bears' star quarterback Mike Hughes got the left corner and darted 44 yards for a touchdown.
The Bears would only pile it on from there.
Cody Purdie accounted for 205 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries for an average of 7.8 yards per carry.
"I have to thank my line like always for allowing me to have a big night," Purdie said. "We were very physical up front tonight. I think we kind of shocked them from the start because they haven't seen a team like us with our aggressiveness."
The Bears started the season 0-2, with home losses to Durham Hillside and Havelock, but have since won three straight, outscoring their opponents 112-21 over that span.
"It feels great to finally get a victory here at home," New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said. "We challenged the kids to come out and have their best game of the year tonight. I will have to look at film but I think they probably did that."
As a team, the Bears rushed 47 times for 304 yards and outgained Laney in total offense 418 to 217.
"We just reacted to their defense offensively," Curlings said. "If people are going to play five or six guys in the box, then we are going to be running dominant. Two big keys tonight were our offensive line is continuing to play better and the defense was great."
The Bears held a shutout of Laney until midway through the fourth quarter when Bucs' quarterback Tariq Lane hit Jared Kelly on a 14-yard touchdown pass.
On the ensuing kickoff, Laney attempted an onside kick, which New Bern's Terrell Fisher scooped and scored on a 62-yard return.
Anything that could go wrong for visiting Laney did.
A Buccaneer defense that hadn't allowed an offensive touchdown through three games, surrendered five against the Bears.
"We missed a lot of opportunities early and our offense couldn't help our defense out," Laney coach Greg Ditz said. "Our guys have to make better plays."
For New Bern, the victory ends its non-conference play. Next Friday, the Bears begin their first season in the new Eastern Carolina Conference, by hosting C.B. Aycock.
The matchup will be the first time that New Bern has played Aycock.
