NFCA MaxPreps Awards For The Week Ending March 31
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Seniors Ketarah Devries of Forreston High School in Forreston, Ill., Katelynn Halcomb of Conner High School in Hebron, Ky., Ashley Palmer of Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., and juniors Allison Dailey of Commack High School in Commack, N.Y., and Whitney Gillespie of Pelham High School in Pelham, Ala. have all been named as the High School Players of the Week for their respective regions by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association for games played through March 31, 2012.
Representing the North Region, Devries pitched her team to three victories on the week, including throwing 5 perfect innings in a 13-0 win over Stockton (Ill.). In that game the senior struck out 9 of the 15 batters she faced. Devries also had a successful week at the plate, going 6 for 8 with a double, homerun, 4 runs scored and 9 RBI. On the season the senior owns a .43 ERA and has struck out 84 of the 186 batters she has faced.

On the year Palmer is hitting .493 with 25 runs scored and 36 RBI. Her efforts have helped the Wolves record improve to 16-4, and a state rank of 11.
Out of the East Region, Dailey started her Varsity career with a bang. In her first at bat, the junior leadoff hitter belted a homerun to start off the Cougars first game of the season. She finished the week going 7 for 11 with 4 RBI and 6 runs scored. The speedy outfielder was also 4 for 4 in stolen bases. Dailey's efforts helped the Cougars finish 3-0 on the week.
Rounding out this week's awards from the South Region, Gillespie was outstanding in the circle. The junior went 3-0, including tossing 2 shutouts, one of which was a one-hitter against Dothan (Ala.).

The Story
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES reveals what happens when SARAH (Lena Headey) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, 15-year-old JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker), knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that he's told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn to CAMERON (Summer Glau), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante - she assumes the role of Sarah and John's fearless protector. On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent, JAMES ELLISON (Richard T.Jones), who soon becomes a powerful ally.
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES represents an exciting reinvention of the "Terminator" franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined.

It leaves you feeling exhilarated at the invigorating power a well-told story, no matter its subject, can have. If you like Harry Potter, you will love this movie. If you don't like Harry Potter, you will still love this movie.
The remarkable Hoop Dreams proves that even at its best, Hollywood can't match the drama of everyday life. This rich and insightful documentary, which traces five years in the lives of two Chicago inner-city kids, is more compelling than anything a pack of scriptwriters could ever concoct.

Reed than admitted that the torn labrum might be affecting how he's been playing.
This might be the most banged up the Ravens defense has ever been. They've already lost Ladarius Webb for the season and Ray Lewis will likely be out for the remainder of the year as well. And Terrell Suggs is trying to work his way back from an Achilles injury.
At the end of the day, the Ravens' season will fall on the shoulders of quarterback Joe Flacco.

A-Rod back in the October crosshairs
Originally Published: October 6, 2009By Tim Keown | Page 2
It's baseball's postseason, which means it's time for ordinary Americans to ramp up their hatred of Alex Rodriguez to radical and utterly irrational proportions. It's time to take small samples of statistics and mold them into the most vile and disparaging arguments against a man's heart, soul and moral fiber. It's time to bash A-Rod as gutless, spineless, heartless and soulless.
And he took steroids.
Yes, it's October, when hatred of Rodriguez becomes an enterprise ...

Habit Forming
Ray and Jan arrived as associate pastor and spouse at the church of my childhood and youth in the early 1960s. In the 1970s at a different congregation they oversaw my seminary field education. Ray preached at my ordination. For fifty years they have been pastor, mentor, friend. These days life is challenging. Ray struggles with advancing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Jan's physical strength is not what it used to be, declining just as Ray's needs grow. In January Ray was admitted to the hospital, then a rehabilitation center. Jan, weakened by a tough New England winter and long days and nights with Ray at the hospital, ended up in the hospital herself. Eventually they were both discharged to a rehab center together. They are now at home, coping with an array of home health care assistance and the support of their children. Last week Jan reflected on their difficult circumstances. Here, in part, is what she wrote:
Early in January, Ray had another problem which again required the EMTs and this time he went to the hospital. Spent several days there with tests of all kinds and was eventually transferred to an Acute Care Rehab Center for help in regaining stability and strength.
Meanwhile I had a fall and ended up at the hospital where eventually the decision was that I too needed strength and stability. Surpise, surprise! Now comes the interesting (at least to us!) part….we were both transferred to a rehab facility where we were able to share a room! There for 3 weeks we had the advantages of an excellent Physical and Occupational Therapy department where they were able to help us move toward our goals.
While there we met a wonderful staff of caring individuals who helped us through the daily tasks that had become difficult for us. We were called "Papa and Mama" and had the opportunity to learn about people from different countries. When it came time to leave, we would have loved to bring many of them home with us, for they had become important members of our lives.
This is not the way we intended to spend the beginning of this year! But there were hidden blessings even here. One was hearing nursing aides singing softly as they went about their duties. One was hearing them talk about their faith in open, gentle ways. They seemed to care genuinely about the people for whom they were giving care.
One night a patient was unhappy and set about showing this by yelling terrible, angry words at the staff. We were appalled, but touched when another patient went to her own door and said "that's enough of that!!!!" The next morning another patient stopped by our room to chat a bit and express his dismay at the earlier bit of racist, verbal garbage that had been strewn about. And at the end of this short talk, he said "we need to pray for her!" That blew me away! He was right, of course, but how sensitive to put it into such words. How often our prayers are needed for those who are out of touch with the reality of love. I've reflected and continue to reflect on these words. Perhaps you may want to do the same.
Why some people respond to very difficult, even painful challenges and losses in life with bitterness and resentment while others respond with grace, gratitude, and compassion is often a mystery. I don't know that we're born with these traits and I don't think we learn them. They are, instead, something we practice over the years until they becomes habitual, literally habits we don't think much about. Jan's spent a lifetime practicing seeing the good, calling forth the true, acknowledging the beautiful.
So when the police officer is particularly gentle when helping Ray off the floor at home after a fall, or when the EMT takes the time to walk her to the car across the icy parking lot after loading Ray into the ambulance for a trip to the emergency room, or when an aide hums an old hymn while making up their beds at the rehab center, Jan is grateful. She's more than aware of the grim situation. But she sees the beautiful in all of it, too. Staying in touch with the reality of love is a habit for Jan, one that perseveres in the most trying of circumstances. And when she sees that habit slipping away, she prays it back, or is grateful when others pray it back for her.
I want to be like Jan when I grow up. But I know it won't be because of a sudden conversion, or the result of a new year's resolution. It will be because her way of seeing others has become my habit as well. It will be because I have tried to practice the art of staying in touch with the reality of love every day in the most concrete ways. A practice that literally will have become habit forming. Perhaps you may want to do the same.

But, I have compared the Kangaroo to practically all the popular carriers and feel that this will be the most comfortable and useable one for both adult and child. The independent adult suspension resolves much of the back pain problems the other carriers have.

Most of the guests at this hotel on Surawong Road are from Japan, perhaps because of the many Japanese businesses in the immediate area. But its location near Lumphini Park, Patpong's night market, and Silom Road makes it an appealing option for anyone. Standard rooms are small and windowless, so make sure to ask for one of the deluxe rooms. There's not much of a view, however. The hotel offers traditional Thai massage, and there is also a row of traditional massage centers on the soi. Sarika Cafe, at the mouth of the soi, is a good little restaurant if the hotel's coffee shop doesn't do it for you.

moreThis book was written for statisticians, computer scientists, geographers, researchers, and others interested in visualizing data. It presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals, newspapers, statistical packages, and data visualization systems. While the tangible results of this work have been several visualization software libraries, this book focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. What are the rules that underlie the production of pie charts, bar charts, scatterplots, function plots, maps, mosaics, and radar charts? Those less interested in the theoretical and mathematical foundations can still get a sense of the richness and structure of the system by examining the numerous and often unique color graphics it can produce. The second edition is almost twice the size of the original, with six new chapters and substantial revision. Much of the added material makes this book suitable for survey courses in visualization and statistical graphics."This fascinating book deconstructs the process of producing graphics and in doing so raises many fascinating questions on the nature and representation of information... This second edition is almost twice the size of the original, with six new chapters and substantial revisions." - "Short Book Reviews" of the International Statistical Institute, December 2005.

In the 2003 NBA draft lottery, the Cleveland Cavaliers were favored to secure the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft. So when it came time to name the winner of the lottery, it was no surprise when the Cavs had their name called. As owner Gordon Gund was congratulated on the lottery outcome, and asked about projected first pick LeBron James, he said with a laugh, "We don't know who we are going to pick yet." Later he held up a Cavaliers' jersey with the name "James" on the back, along with the number 23.
"It's no secret that we intend to select LeBron James with the first pick," said Cavs general manager Jim Paxson afterwards.
James was born and raised in Ohio, making him even more of an attractive pick, and when it came time to draft him, the Cavaliers did so, with the hopes that he would lead their franchise to their first of many championships.
James made an impact for the Cavaliers instantly, and would win the Rookie of the Year award in 2004. In the years followed, he made the Cavaliers a force in the Eastern Conference. While doing so, James won one scoring title and two Most Valuable Player awards with Cleveland. He also led the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2007.
In the summer of 2010, James chose to leave Cleveland to head to Miami to join forces with two fellow members of his draft class in Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Since then, James has won two more Most Valuable Player awards and two NBA championships.
Had the Cavaliers known that LeBron would leave his home state in 2010, would they still have drafted him back in 2003? Probably. The success James brought to the Cavaliers would have been hard to get by drafting any other player.
Knicks win the first lottery, but amidst conspiracy theories
The first-ever NBA draft lottery was held in 1985, when Commissioner David Stern decided to toss seven envelopes into a clear drum, where they would be mixed up. Each envelope would have a logo of one of the seven worst teams in the NBA. Once they were mixed, Stern reached inside the drum, grabbed an envelope, and read the name of the team that would have the top pick. It was the New York Knicks.
The Knicks eventually drafted Patrick Ewing, who went on to win the Rookie of the Year award and became an 11-time All-Star.
But that wasn't the end of the discussion as far as the '85 lottery goes. Many felt it was a bit convenient for the NBA to have the biggest draft star head to the biggest market in the league. Combine that with the conspiracy theory that David Stern chose the one envelope that had a crease in the corner, and there is chaos. Such accusations have been discussed over the years, as well as been re-ignited by ESPN columnist Bill Simmons.
In the end, we'll never know whether it was a rigged lottery or not, but it sure makes for a memorable moment in the NBA's history.
Let the game begin
It's called a lottery for a reason, and it is because any team that has a ping-pong ball has a chance. Over the years, we have seen teams with the highest odds win the lottery, as well as some of the teams with the lowest odds. So while the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic have the best chances at getting the top pick, 2014 might just be another year where a team like the Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics or Los Angeles Lakers overcome the percentages and change their franchise's future.

What you need to know:
The All-ACC trio of QB Cullen Harper, RB James
Davis, and WR Aaron Kelly resisted the
temptation of testing NFL waters, giving Clemson
the key parts of one of the league's top
offenses. Add in Davis' dynamic running mate,
C.J. Spiller, and the Tigers have the
ingredients to be balanced and downright
combustible. The key to the success, however,
lies with an offensive line that'll be breaking
in three new starters, including both tackles.
Chris Hairston and Cory Lambert are being
counted on to win the tackle jobs on a front
wall that could dictate whether or not the
Tigers reach their goals this season.
Passing: Cullen Harper
282-433, 2,991 yds, 27 TD, 6 INT
Rushing: James Davis
214 carries, 1,064 yds, 10 TD
Receiving: Aaron Kelly
88 catches, 1,081 yds, 11 TD
of the offense:
Senior RB James Davis
Player who has to step up and become a star: Junior LT
Cory Lambert
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore RT Chris Hairston
Best pro prospect: Junior RB C.J. Spiller
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Davis, 2) Senior
QB Cullen Harper, 3) Senior WR Aaron Kelly
Strength of the offense: Talent and depth at the
skill positions, big plays
Weakness of the offense: Uncertainty of the offensive
Projected Starters: So much for the Willy Korn
era beginning last season. In his first year as the starter,
6-4, 220-pound senior Cullen Harper went from a complete
unknown to the first Clemson quarterback in almost a
quarter-century to lead the ACC in passing efficiency. A calming
influence in the huddle, he had one of the best years in school
history, going 282-of-433 for 2,991 yards, 27 touchdowns and
just six interceptions. Harper makes good decisions, rarely
misfires, and will catch defenses off guard with his 4.6 speed.
He'll be even sharper with a full year behind him, putting the
NFL and a Heisman run within reach.
Projected Top Reserves: Harper was the best thing
to happen to Korn last season, allowing the hot-shot recruit to
redshirt without having to be the face of the program so early
in his career. That day will come, but for now he'll be able to
learn at a modest pace behind one of the nation's steadiest
quarterbacks. The best athlete of the quarterbacks, he's 6-2 and
215 pounds with a nice grasp of the game, a quick release and
even quicker feet. Korn's time is coming. It's just not likely
to arrive until 2009.
After playing some safety last year, 6-1, 200-pound sophomore
Mike Wade is back behind center, taking over the No. 3 spot
after opted to leave the program. An exceptional athlete and a
student of the game, he'll only be used on an emergency basis.
Watch Out For ... Korn to see occasional action in
more than just blowouts. The Tigers have confidence in their
redshirt freshman, recognizing that whatever meaningful reps he
gets this fall will benefit the entire offense in 2009.
Strength: Two quarterbacks capable of starting. If
Harper didn't seize the opportunity last summer, it's likely
Korn would be barking out signals in this year's opener with
Alabama. Harper did come through, however, giving Clemson two
terrific quarterbacks, a luxury for any program.
Weakness: Arm strength. While not a glaring
weakness, neither Harper nor Korn have a rifle, something
coordinator Rob Spence asked the hurlers to address during the
Outlook: In under a year Clemson has turned a
blinking question mark into an ideal situation. In Harper, the
Tigers now have a steady veteran with a future in the pros. In
Korn, they've got a brilliant young talent who can use the next
five months as a stepping stone before taking over the job in
Rating: 9
Running Backs
Projected Starter: Folks in places, such as Los
Angeles, College Station and Miami may believe otherwise, but no
one in the country has a better backfield tandem than Clemson.
The front man for is senior James Davis, who returned to
school after strongly considering early entry into the NFL
Draft. In three productive seasons, the All-ACC first teamer has
rushed for 3,130 yards and 36 touchdowns, putting him within
range of school marks held by Raymond Priester and Travis
Zachery, respectively. A tough, 5-11, 210-pound north-south
runner, he hits the hole hard, never loses yards, and has a nose
for the end zone. Think Emmitt Smith in terms of running style.
Projected Top Reserves: Davis' partner in the
backfield will again be junior C.J. Spiller, the homerun
hitter of the ground game and the Tigers' leader in all-purpose
yards. At 5-11 and 190 pounds, he's lethal with a combination
of blazing speed and shake-and-bake moves that make him
impossible to corral in the open field. In just two seasons his
10 touchdowns of at least 50 yards have already established a
new school record. Last year he ran for 768 yards, caught 34
balls for 271 yards, and was the Tigers' most dangerous return
To add some depth behind Spiller, the Tigers are flirting with
the idea of moving injury-prone senior Rendrick Taylor to
the backfield where he spent the spring. One of the team's most
versatile athletes, who was also being considered as a
linebacker, the 6-2, 240-pounder has 46 career catches for 480
yards and a touchdown.
When Clemson uses a fullback, it's expected to turn to 6-2,
245-pound redshirt freshman Chad Diehl, who was going to
letter a year ago before breaking a bone in his leg. An
outstanding blocker, he has the work ethic and physical demeanor
to become one of the unsung heroes of the running game.
Watch Out For ... Spiller to get more
opportunities to work between the tackles. Tiger coaches would
like to see No. 28 run with more authority than he has in the
last two years. He'll still do most of his damage on the
periphery, but a more complete Spiller is expected this fall.
Strength: Thunder and lightning. With Davis
working the inside and Spiller owning the outside, Clemson is
home to the best one-two backfield punch in the country. The two
complement one another exceedingly well and are All-America
talents who'll earn paychecks for playing in the near future.
Weakness: The NFL. The only possible shortcoming
is that Spiller will join Davis and be off to the NFL after this
year, which can sometimes mess with the focus of young athletes
in November and December. It's a reach, but there isn't much
these guys do poorly.
Outlook: As long as the Clemson coaching staff can
keep both stars happy and well-fed, Davis and Spiller will again
be the catalysts of one of the most balanced offenses in
America. Anticipating that the backfield could be cleaned out by
next spring, the Tigers will look for spots to get true freshmen
Jamie Harper and Andre Ellington acclimated to the
speed of the game.
Rating: 10
Projected Starters: Of the 15 players who caught a
pass last season, 14 are back on campus forming one of the
deepest corps in the country. The headliner is 6-5, 190-pound
senior Aaron Kelly, another Tiger who seriously
considered going pro before deciding to return to school. In his
first season as the go-to receiver, he responded with 88 catches
for 1,081 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning First Team All-ACC
honors and pulling within 52 receptions of the league's all-time
mark. Long and lean, he has outstanding ball skills, returning
this year on a mission to get better in all phases of the game.
While not the most physically imposing of the receivers, senior
Tyler Grisham plays much bigger than his 5-11, 180-pound
frame. He was second on the team with 60 receptions for 653
yards and four touchdowns, while leading the team in knockdown
blocks among non-linemen. A dangerous player after the catch, he
does all the little things well and is one of the most
underrated players on this roster.
At 5-10 and 185 pounds, junior Jacoby Ford is one of the
most exciting and fastest all-purpose players in the country, a
blur on offense and special teams. A star on the track team,
he's still somewhat raw as a receiver, but far too explosive to
keep on the sidelines. Before breaking an ankle in October, he'd
caught 17 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns, rushed for
172 yards, and amassed 319 yards as a return man.
Junior Michael Palmer has emerged as the team's best
receiving threat at tight end, catching 13 passes for 128 yards
and a touchdown. A big target at 6-5 and 245 pounds, he has soft
hands and is improving as a run blocker.
Projected Top Reserves: Behind Kelly is his
protégé, sophomore Xavier Dye, who's coming off a
breakthrough spring. Well ahead of Kelly at similar stages in
their careers, he's 6-5 and 205 pounds, combining a physical
presence with the athleticism and footwork to really take off in
his second year.
By walk-on standards, 6-2, 190-pound sophomore Terrance Ashe
has been a very pleasant surprise for the program, playing
on 109 snaps and catching seven passes in his first season. The
backup to Grisham, he'll letter again this fall and contend for
a starting spot in 2009.
Sophomore Brian Linthicum laid the groundwork for a
bright future by catching 11 passes for 76 and three touchdowns,
a school-record for first-year tight ends. At 6-4 and 235
pounds, he's a skilled pass-catcher who also had 30 knockdowns
as a blocker.
Watch Out For ... Ford to keep blossoming. Now that
he's healthy again, the staff will be inventing ways to get the
ball in his hands, preferably in space. Before breaking his
ankle, he was just starting to tap into all of his potential, a
process that'll continue in earnest this September.
Strength: Diversity of talent. More than just
talented, the Clemson receivers also complement each other very
well. Kelly and Dye are the skyscrapers. Ford is the gamebreaker.
Grisham is the possession guy and the most polished receiver of
the group.
Weakness: Proven backups. It's a minor detail, but
after Dye, the receivers become pedestrian in a hurry. Although
the redshirt and incoming freshmen have high ceilings, it's
unreasonable to expect too much from them at this early stage.
Outlook: With Cullen Harper back throwing to these
guys, the Clemson passing game is set up to break a bunch of
records for a second straight year. Kelly has his sights set on
next April's first round, but will get lots of help from
Grisham, Ford, and Dye.
Rating: 8
Offensive Line
Projected Starters: If the offense stumbles at
all, it'll probably have something to do with the play of the
line. Three starters need to be replaced, including All-ACC
first teamers Barry Richardson and Chris McDuffie. The anchor of
the unit will be junior C Thomas Austin, who started four
games at right guard and eight at center a year ago. Versatile
and among the strongest players on the team, he led all Tigers
with 95 knockdowns and will keep getting better as he gets more
time at the pivot.
In terms of seniority and experience, junior RG Barry
Humphries is next in line, starting seven games a year ago,
five at center and two at right guard. Second to Austin with
86.5 knockdowns, the 6-3, 295-pounder has terrific upper body
strength and the feet to dominate as a run blocker, but needs to
do a better of containing pass rushers.
On the opposite side, 6-4, 305-pound junior Jamarcus Grant
exited spring with a lead at left guard. Although he
lettered in each of the last two seasons, his experience is
limited and his pass protection skills will be tested. At his
best on running plays, his high school team rarely put the ball
in the air.
From left to right, the new tackles are expected to be junior
Cory Lambert and sophomore Chris Hairston. After
tutoring behind Richardson and lettering in each of the last two
seasons, Lambert is ready to step into the lineup at a key
position for the passing game. He's a 6-6, 310-pound former top
recruit who could wind up being shifted to the right side.
The shooting star of the line is Hairston, another 6-6,
310-pound bookend with the reach, footwork, and athleticism to
eventually be an all-conference performer and an NFL prospect.
He played very well against Auburn in last year's bowl game, and
could wind up being a pillar at left tackle if he puts in the
time and effort in the offseason. A late-bloomer, he was almost
headed to South Carolina State of the FCS before Clemson came
through with an offer.
Projected Top Reserves: Although senior 6-3,
305-pound Bobby Hutchinson is getting pushed for playing
time by talented redshirt freshman Wilson Norris, his
experience and versatility are assets coveted by the second
team. He earned a couple of letters and played on 174 snaps last
year providing depth at guard and center.
At left guard, redshirt freshman David Smith is putting
up a fight for the spot currently held by Grant. While he still
needs work with his assignments, he's a nice athlete at 6-5 and
295 pounds, and battles from whistle-to-whistle. He held the
starting job for a time in the spring, so he's not far removed
from the top of the pecking order.
One of the more interesting developments in the offseason was
the move of former defensive tackle Jock McKissic to left
tackle, where he's currently backing up Lambert. While there's
plenty of learning to be done, he has the benefit of being a
6-7, 300-pound linemen with 13 games of starting experience to
his name.
Watch Out For ... the incoming recruits. Tommy Bowden
cleaned up on the offensive line in February, which could begin
paying dividends right away. Antoine McClain, Kenneth
Page, Dalton Freeman, and Matt Sanders were
all nationally-ranked recruits who'll have a shot in August to
crack a fluid two-deep.
Strength: Austin. While change and uncertainty are
the themes of this year's line, Austin brings a much-needed
element of stability to the unit. He played well after moving
from guard, and should be even better in his second season
making the snaps.
Weakness: Starting experience. There are plenty of
talented linemen on the roster, but precious few with extensive
résumés. For this unit to gel and even excel, it'll need
multiple blockers to overcome a shortage of game
experience…preferably before the opener versus Alabama.
Outlook: The key to this group hasn't put on pads
in years. Offensive line coach Brad Scott has just a few more
months to take a bunch of quality linemen and coach them into a
cohesive, synchronized unit. He has the talent on hand to get it
done, but the Tigers could have problems early on opening holes
for the backs and keeping QB Cullen Harper upright.

Don't worry. not even my 680 can run it at full detail. It's the most graphically demanding game currently out there.
Anyways, I can't wait to play through it again with the new material and quests. I beat it once on dark mode after patch 2.0 hit but the story splits about 1/2 way through the game so ther are two completely different paths to play through and 2 totally different sides of the story told.

St. Lucie County school employees to see 3 percent pay reduction
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Starting July 1, St. Lucie County teachers and school employees will feel the impact of the state's 3 percent mandatory employee retirement contribution.
On Tuesday, the St. Lucie County School Board voted unanimously to reauthorize salary schedules for the 2012-2013 fiscal year and revert back to the 2010-2011 schedules. School employees will see their pay drop by 3 percent.
Last year, St. Lucie school employees received a one-year salary boost to offset the required contribution. The one-time raise essentially reimbursed employees their 3 percent contribution so their take-home salary was the same as the year before.
"The goal was really to try to minimize the impact on the community," St. Lucie County Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Tim Bargeron said of the supplement. "Everything we've done is to try to avoid another round of budget cuts like we did back in 2009-2010. There aren't any easy answers on how to further reduce the budget."
St. Lucie made big cuts in 2009 with its $30 million cut plan. The district closed Port St. Lucie Elementary and Southbend K-8, eliminated 330 positions and cut student sports programs. During Tuesday's board workshop, Bargeron explained how the district has been able to fill the budget gap by using reserves and by transferring capital funds to the general operating budget.
"To balance the budget we're pulling in $9.3 million from our reserves and that's not sustainable," Bargeron said, noting the district has decreased the capital transfer from $10.8 million last year to $5.8 million in the upcoming fiscal year because capital projects have been deferred too long. "This has us looking at 2013-14 with concern unless the Legislature increases funding."
However, representatives with the St. Lucie County Classroom Teachers Association and Classified Unit said they think the district can afford to make up the 3 percent retirement contribution for the new year.
At the first collective bargaining negotiation session Tuesday morning, Union Vice President Vicki Rodriguez said the union presented the district a proposal, which included continuing to cover the contribution along with a 2 percent across-the-board increase to the salary schedule and a step for all eligible employees.
Teachers are paid according to their education levels and their years of service — called steps — and the raises that come with those step increases are normally negotiated each year. Because of the economy, St. Lucie has been unable to give steps since July 2007.
"Every budget is a series of choices," Rodriguez said. "They have a significant unreserved fund balance and they have the ability to do additional capital transfers under the law, which they have done in past years and they're choosing not to do that this year."
The district and union scheduled the next negotiation session for 10 a.m. Aug. 6.

Author has written 13 stories for Power Rangers.
The Latest Gossip:
02/March/2014 - I am currently going through that thing where I am visiting an old home and everything looks so familiar yet is so so different! It's been a good few years since my last update on this site. In that time, a lot of things have changed in my life...almost all for the bad initially...and as the saying goes often we need to fall to our lowest before we can climb back up. I was diagnosed with a pretty severe case of Bipolar Disorder and have been in and out of hospital and going through a bunch of crazy, roller-coaster changes in life. For me, the hardest thing has been admitting that I'm not 'perfect' but at the same time I like to remind myself of all that I've managed to to achieve and enjoy in life despite my mental chaos (writing being one of those!). I'm toying with the idea of writing again and it certainly wouldn't be the first time that I've had to stop a project only return to it a long time later - it's half the challenge. Although I do feel very out of practice! My sincerest apologies for the heap of PMs that I have received over the last couple of years that I was not aware of and did not respond to. Thank you to everyone who has read my stories :) Hopefully you'll see something from me really soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it more than anything else I've read,
Tony Smith "Tony Smith" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Broken God (Paperback)
After it had been sitting on my shelf for more than a decade, I only got around to reading 'Neverness' early in the year. I enjoyed it enough to do a search for further info, a search which led me to 'The Broken God' and (soon) to the others of the trilogy. My judgement is coloured not just by how well it fits into a universe as rich as Dune's but by my separate interests in fresh takes on deep philosophical questions and in coming of age stories involving exceptional talents and challenging relationships.
The Broken God confronts so many of my interests, that I can't pretend to know what it might be like for a reader with other interests, especially not in isolation from the rest of the series. What I can say is that anytime I started to think that Zindell's rich description was starting to feel a tad overdone, he hit me with a new thought which more than justified all the often almost poetic detail.
Potential interfaces between human mind and computers and their consequences are explored in depth, as is the tension between Danlo's wish to promote "halla", his vow of "ahimsa", and his ever increasing understanding of the essential role of pain and death in the appreciation and creation of life. Several scenarios are developing for collisions between great cancers of unchecked growth, setting the stage for the books to come. The importance of influence and interconnectedness on the shaping of humans is explored in detail, especially the fashionable hypothesis that some singular decision points can potentially set the world on very different paths.
As is appropriate to the first book of a preplanned trilogy, The Broken God leaves many questions unanswered, but for me none more than how can David Zindell remain such a relative unknown?
5.0 out of 5 stars A true classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
I tend to think of this book as the first of a trilogy consisting of The Broken God, The Wild and War in Heaven, with Neverness being the "prequel" (visa vis George Lucas, thank you). This trilogy is one of the greatest works of science fiction ever! Zindell is profound, intellectual and poetic with far reaching philosophical insight, and incredibly imaginative storytelling ability. This book is basically the tale of the realization of Nietzsche's Ubermensch and the ultimate evolvment of mankind to a higher level of being. It's rich with philosophical influences from all major religions as well as the likes of Nietzsche, Hesse and Crowley. It's an intense read with elegantly interwoven plot's and subplot's that mesh to create a truly visionary peace of work that really conveys a deep, clear and beautiful message. This book, along with the rest of the trilogy is a must read for all true fans of the genre as well as for any fans of philosophy and deep thinking. A true classic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing Sci-fi, light years ahead of our time ...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
If sci-fi for you equals rebels flying to battle against an evil empire, or aliens ivading the Earth, then sadly, this book is not for you.
"The Broken God - Book One of a Requium for Homo-Sapiens" is set thousands of years into the future, humankind is spread across the galaxy, and there are aliens and they our "friends".
This book is not a shallow shoot-em-up however, nor does it dazzle you with technology, hoping to distract you from a story lacking in depth. This book is about the Human condition, compassion and truth, and a young man's struggle to come to terms with life.
Yes, there is technology, and yes, there are space ships. Zindell's theories however, are so vivid, so realistic, your mind will reel, as a virtual overload of information is thrust into your mind.
"Neverness", Zindell's first novel, just prepares you for the sheer story-telling brilliance that is "The Broken God".
A truely uplifting experience.
5.0 out of 5 stars A True Masterpiece,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
David Zindel's The Broken God is a novel light years ahead of it's time. I read this novel first over a few wonderful weeks two or so years ago. Since then I have read the prequel 'Neverness' and the following two books in the trilogy 'The Wild' and 'War in Heaven' While all four are excellent novels, 'The Broken God' stands above. The city of Neverness holds a special place in Science Fiction writing. It is one of the most beautiful, well realised cities ever imagined. Zindel's philosophical insight, broad reaching imagination, and poetic prose combine for a fantastic reading experience. It is a novel that you will always want nearby for a quick visit to Neverness. I am reading it now for the fourth time, and it is the only book that I have read multiple times in the past five years.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as Neverness,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, after all the above 10 out of 10's above I'm afraid that someone is going to have to put the boot in, and in this case, its me.
After reading Neverness, *the* perfect sci-fi novel, this book was a slight letdown. The main problem (in my opinion) is the more philosophical trend in the novel. I never felt that the novel was driving in any direction, and was disapointed when "The Broken God" ended with an unresolved air.
More of a whimper than a bang, but this book still ranks head and shoulders above other science fiction novels (but read Neverness first, eh? :).
5.0 out of 5 stars Limitless imagination,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
The Broken God can only be described as a tale of epic proportions.
This is a novel of ideas and philosophy so deep and rich in scope and imagination I needed to take breaks between chapters to think about and absorb what I had read.
It is the story of a young man's search for himself.
It is a tale of friendship and religion.
It is novel for and about humanity.
If you haven't read this --- DO!
5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece,
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
After thrilling intellectual scifi fans with Neverness, Zindell improves on his work with The Broken God. He seamlessly weaves together math, religion, science and philosophy, creating a beautiful tapestry of the journey of the young hero. Breathtaking and unforgettable. Shantih.
5.0 out of 5 stars A book that will change your view of reality,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Broken God (Mass Market Paperback)
The Broken God was the first book of David Zindell's that I read. It it is a mixture between original Sci-Fi and Philosophy, and it looks at the creation of religeons, the corruption of power and the prejeduce of world views.
It also asks the question "what is the truth?"

10 killer photography tips the pros won't tell you
Photography Tips From The Pros: Mirror lock-up
If you want super-sharp images when your SLR is on a tripod, use a remote release and engage the mirror lock-up function.
This lifts the mirror with the first press of the remote shutter release, then when any vibration caused by the mirror movement has died down you press the shutter release for a second press to take the shot.
Mirror lock-up is especially important if you want to get the full benefit of high-pixel count cameras like the Canon 5D Mark III as even very slight movements are recorded.
If you've got a compact system camera like the Canon M, however, there's no need to worry as it doesn't have a mirror.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This is probably one of the most immersive space combat simulators I've ever played and second only to TIE Fighter and X-Wing in my humble opinion. It has a good story, varied missions, and an epic finale that put me on the edge of my seat. The space dogfighting is extremely well done and is very fun. It is especially epic when you are in a furball with two massive captial ships duking it out in the background. Highly recommended for all space sim enthusiasts.

I've carried the generator inside the van. It doesn't smell or leak at all. I wouldn't want to carry a gas can inside though. Honestly, I'd rather get a cheap little utility trailer to put that and my bike on though. One of the only things I worry about with the generator is it "walking away" while I'm having a meal somewhere. Sure you could carry it on the front.
Don't know much about those little 110V fridges but I'm pretty sure they don't care how level they are.

We are a small business in Canton, Ohio, with 60 employees. When our CFO crunched the numbers, we were startled to see how much it will cost us if nothing changes in Washington. We are very concerned. In fact, our company owner and president made a 4-minute video talking about taxes, Obamacare, and government regulations. He uses our data as an example in the video. Bottomline, it seems he will not be able to add staff and grow the business as planned due to the "3 threats." Is your experience the same? Are you concerned about the impact of government mandates on small business? (not to mention the burgeoning National debt!!) Have you had to change your plans for growth? I look forward to hearing your perspective on these issues and how your business is affected.... and your strategies to manage the "3 threats." Thank you! (This post was edited to remove a link.
