Converse CT 70 Ox Egret/Tan
–01. Leather upper and lining.
Since Converse introduced their 1970s line of Chuck Taylor All Stars, I've greatly enjoyed how simple they've kept it, while still rolling out some totally unique and sometimes daring special versions each season. This leather low-top model is rendered in a muted monochromatic colour palette and certainly splices these two approaches with the addition of a leather toecap and rawhide laces.

Hey man, If you are looking for critiques for individual pieces, I suggest that you post them in the critiques forum. Usually the folks there are pretty helpful.
Regarding your works in this portfolio thread, I suggest that you only post finished pieces. There is a vast difference in quality in your last three pieces compared to the rest as well as you seem to focus primarily on the face but do not execute the rest of the images to the same level.
Lastly, your signature, we already know it is "by" Bao so there is no need to write that.
Good Studies and I especially like the Princess Mononoke Image.
January 26th, 2012 #3
I'm having a hard time here. You're telling me the same artist painted the first image, and the princess image in consecutive 6 months? By him/herself?

Michael Hiltzik (LA Times): Maybe there are no genuine Obamacare horror stories
Kevin Drum wonders whether there's a single genuine Obamacare horror story out there, given that virtually every yarn promoted by Republicans or conservatives about people hurt by the Affordable Care Act has deflated like a pricked balloon on the merest examination.
It's a very good question, inspired by the latest horror story bloomer – the tale of one Julia Boonstra of Michigan, wholesaled by the Koch-founded conservative organization Americans for Prosperity. In a political ad being run by AFP against a Democratic senate candidate in Michigan, Boonstra asserts that "Obamacare" has made her leukemia treatment "unaffordable" and "jeopardized" her health.
But when Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post checked out her story, he found it didn't hold up….
Boonstra's case is just the latest of a very long line of deflatable horror stories. We've debunked a passel of them here….

Brian Beutler: Are Republicans even trying? Another Obamacare horror story bites the dust
Given how horrible Obamacare supposedly is, it's a little bizarre that Republicans and their allies have such a hard time finding victims who are unambiguously worse off as a result of the law.
GOP leaders trotted out a woman named Bette during their official response to President Obama's State of the Union address. Once reporters with even rudimentary understanding of the law began poking around, they discovered that Bette was more a victim of anti-Obamacare histrionics than of the genuine article.
The ad makers at the conservative pressure group Americans for Prosperity are the Jerry Bruckheimers of atmospherically devastating campaign spots attacking Democrats who voted for Obamacare, but like nearly all Bruckheimer films the plots of these ads fall apart upon the mildest scrutiny.

PBS: U.S. agriculture booms to record highs
American agriculture has experienced a boom, with market values of crops, livestock and total agricultural products reaching record highs even as the amount of U.S. farmland declined, according to a new government survey.
Continuing a long-term trend, the number of U.S. farms dropped to 2.1 million in 2012, about a 4 percent drop from five years earlier. But some of the bigger farms got bigger. The average farm grew from 418 to 434 acres.
…. All told, U.S. farms sold nearly $395 billion in products in 2012, a third more than five years earlier. That averaged to about $187,000 per farm – or an increase of $52,000 over 2007 totals.

USA Today: White House cautiously welcomes Ukraine accord
With Ukraine's embattled president and opposition agreeing to a deal that will bring early elections, the White House expressed guarded optimism on Friday that the accord will bring an end to the political violence in Kiev and lead to lasting changes in Kiev.
In a statement, the White House said the agreement, which was facilitated by France, Germany and Poland and reached after all-night talks, was consistent with the Obama administration's call for deescalating the violence, constitutional reform and early elections.

Reuters: Obamacare Coverage Enrollment Hits Three Million
The number of people enrolled in private health insurance under Obamacare has soared by more than one-third in recent weeks to around 3 million, according to government data released on Friday. It also shows that officials might still reach their initial goal of signing up 7 million people for private coverage by the time enrollment ends on March 31.
Analysts say Obama could highlight the 3 million number as a sign of progress when he addresses the topic of healthcare reform in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Earlier this week, the administration also announced that the number of people eligible for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) rose to 6.3 million this month as a result of the enrollment effort.

Alex Wigglesworth: Vice President Joe Biden Donates $50K To Pennsylvania's Women's Abuse Advocacy Groups
Vice President Joe Biden donated $50,000 to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Philadelphia-based Women Against Abuse Tuesday, a month after winning the money at Pennsylvania's biggest annual political gathering. The Pennsylvania Society during its 115th annual black-tie dinner last month presented Biden with the Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement. The award, which recognizes the leadership and philanthropic accomplishments of prominent figures with Pennsylvania ties, comes with a $50,000 contribution to be directed to charities of the recipient's choice.
The two selected nonprofits will use the money to increase advocacy and awareness efforts and support intervention for victims of domestic violence, which they described as a public health epidemic that affects one in three women and one in seven men worldwide. As Vice President, Biden appointed the White House's first Advisor on Violence Against Women and launched the "1is2many" initiative. an outreach campaign that uses technology to reduce date rape and domestic violence among teens and college students. Biden was the first sitting vice president chosen to receive the Pennsylvania Society's Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement. Past recipients have included Andrew Carnegie, Dwight Eisenhower and Bill Cosby.

TPM: 60% Of KY GOPers Buck McConnell, Support Medicaid Expansion
A solid majority of Kentucky Republicans support the state's decision to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, according to a new poll, standing in stark contrast to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's opposition to the provision. The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky poll, reported by NPR-affiliated WFPL, found that 60 percent of self-identified Republicans said they support expansion.
In total, 79 percent of Kentuckians agree with Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear's decision to expand coverage to low-income people under the health care reform law. More than 120,000 Kentuckians have enrolled in Medicaid through the state's Obamacare website since it launched in October

BBC: Syria Foes Briefly Meet In Same Room At Geneva II Talks
Syria's opposition and government have met briefly face to face in what is being hailed a small but significant step in talks aimed at "saving Syria". The initial gathering in Geneva lasted half an hour mediated by the UN's Lakhdar Brahimi. Delegates in Geneva are aiming at small concessions, not a full peace deal. "Ending terrorism and violence" is the top priority, Syrian officials say. They insist it is too early to discuss President Bashar al-Assad's position. The BBC's Bridget Kendall, in Geneva, says another meeting at 15:00 GMT will follow same carefully choreographed format as the first.
The two delegations filed in through separate doors into one room in the UN Geneva Headquarters, and sat down at the same U-shaped table, but said nothing to each other. Mr Brahimi spoke for half an hour. Then they all filed out again. Ahead of the next face-to-face meeting, Mr Brahimi will shuttle between the delegations, trying to build confidence with small achievements like localised ceasefires, release of detainees and the opening of humanitarian corridors. This is cumbersome, slow diplomacy, our correspondent adds. But as one diplomat put it, small steps are better than no steps.

Nation Of Change: Utah Is Ending Homelessness By Giving People Homes
City council members in Columbia, South Carolina, concerned that the city was becoming a "magnet for homeless people," passed an ordinance giving the homeless the option to either relocate or get arrested. The council later rescinded the ordinance, after backlash from police officers, city workers, and advocates. Philadelphia took a somewhat different approach, with a law banning the feeding of homeless people on city parkland. Religious groups objected to the ban, and announced that they would not obey it. Raleigh, North Carolina took the step of asking religious groups to stop their longstanding practice of feeding the homeless in a downtown park on weekends. Religious leaders announced that they would risk arrest rather than stop.
In eight years, Utah has quietly reduced homelessness by 78 percent, and is on track to end homelessness by 2015. Utah solved homelessness by giving people homes. In 2005, Utah figured out that the annual cost of E.R. visits and jail stays for homeless people was about $16,670 per person, compared to $11,000 to provide each homeless person with an apartment and a social worker. So, the state began giving away apartments, with no strings attached. Each participant in Utah's Housing First program also gets a caseworker to help them become self-sufficient, but they keep the apartment even if they fail. The program has been so successful that other states are hoping to achieve similar results with programs modeled on Utah's.

Eric Lach: Port Authority Refuses To Pay Christie Pal's Legal Bills
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will not pay the legal bills for the former agency executive at the center of the George Washington Bridge lane closings scandal, The Bergen Record reported on Friday. The notification to Wildstein reportedly said his request to have his legal bill picked up "would not be warranted" under the agency's bylaws. Those bylaws state that current and former employees will be provided with legal representation if the action in question fell within their job duties, but not if there was fraud, malice, misconduct, or intentional wrongdoing.

Paul Waldman: Why Republicans Keep Calling Women Sluts
The simple answer is that they can't help themselves, but more specifically, it's a combination of ignorance, contempt, and Puritan morality that inevitably leads to these eruptions. And it's going to keep happening. Let's look at the particulars: Ignorance: These kinds of statements tend to come from older conservative men who have no idea how ladyparts work, and really don't want to know. That extends to contraception, which as far as they're concerned is something that is women's responsibility and therefore there's no need to understand it.
Beliefs about sin: The conception of sex as inherently sinful drives pretty much every conservative policy position that touches on sex, perhaps most notably the support for abstinence-only sex education. The fact that abstinence-only sex education has been shown over and over to fail is of only passing concern to them, because what they want out of sex education isn't so much practical things like a reduction in teen pregnancy and the spread of STDs, but a moral statement: sex is bad.

Jon Hurdle: Nonprofit Clinic Offers 'Bridges of Health' To Philadelphia's Illegal Immigrants
Like many other immigrants, Mery Martinez has no legal status in the United States, no health insurance and no money. But she does have leukemia, and has been struggling to find treatment for the disease, first in New York and more recently in Philadelphia. Here, a hospital emergency room rejected her on New Year's Day because she had not yet qualified for the state assistance that could have paid for the medical attention she needed. With rising anxiety, and a rash that she attributed to her illness, Ms. Martinez walked into a clinic last week run by Puentes de Salud, a nonprofit group of doctors, nurses and medical students that provides primary care to Philadelphia's undocumented, uninsured and impoverished Latino immigrants.
Puentes de Salud, which in English means "bridges of health," was founded to provide low-cost but quality health care and social services to the growing Latino population in South Philadelphia and began treating patients in 2006. Daphne Owen, 26, a third-year medical student at the University of Pennsylvania and a clinic volunteer, sees the low-cost, holistic approach practiced by Puentes as a model, not just for underserved community medicine but for the country's health system over all. "Here, I'm learning things that we don't learn in medical school," Ms. Owen said. "The way we provide care has to change. By the time I'm done in medical school, there is no way the system is still going to work the way it does."

Gloria Goodale: California Drought: Scientists Puzzled By Persistence Of Blocking 'Ridge'
While much of the United States has experienced a weather year with fewer extremes and an easing drought, the record-breaking California drought – the worst since 1895 – is not leaving the region anytime soon, according to climatologists. The unseasonal balmy but dry weather is the result of an equally unprecedented high pressure ridge lurking offshore and blocking the typical winter storms needed to drop precipitation all along the West Coast.
This ridge has persisted for 13 months and the longer it lingers, the less likely it is to leave, points out climatologist Brian Fuchs, from the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. This high pressure ridge system is feeding on itself, "creating a sort of perfect environment for perpetuating the dry conditions" it creates, he says. On Friday, California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency, calling for a 20-percent voluntary conservation effort state-wide.

Steve Kornacki: Christie Camp Held Sandy Relief Money Hostage, Mayor Alleges
Two senior members of Gov. Chris Christie's administration warned a New Jersey mayor earlier this year that her town would be starved of hurricane relief money unless she approved a lucrative redevelopment plan favored by the governor, according to the mayor and emails and personal notes she shared with msnbc. The mayor, Dawn Zimmer, hasn't approved the project, but she did request $127 million in hurricane relief for her city of Hoboken – 80% of which was underwater after Sandy hit in October 2012. What she got was $142,000 to defray the cost of a single back-up generator plus an additional $200,000 in recovery grants.
EXCLUSIVE: Mayor Dawn Zimmer says 2 Christie cabinet officials told her Hoboken Sandy aid would not come unless she approved a redevelopment—

Dawn Zimmer, Mayor of Hoboken, NJ: "It's not fair for the Governor to hold Sandy funds hostage for the city of Hoboken." #uppers—
Nerdy Wonka (@NerdyWonka) January 18, 2014
In an exclusive interview, Zimmer broke her silence and named Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and Richard Constable, Christie's community affairs commissioner, as the two officials who delivered messages on behalf of a governor she had long supported. Two days later, Zimmer got a call from the Lieutenant Governor, Kim Guadagno, who wanted to come to town to do an event at a ShopRite to spotlight businesses that had recovered from the storm.
Btw Mayor of Hoboken says she will testify under oath, take a lie detector test. Whatever she needs to do. @upwithsteve—

Hoboken Mayor says she has been afraid to come forward because her city would be at risk of not getting any more Sandy relief.—
Krystal Ball (@krystalball) January 18, 2014
On May 13, Guadagno and Zimmer met at the Hoboken ShopRite. That is where, Zimmer said, Guadagno delivered the first message about the relief aide. Zimmer shared this diary entry which she said she wrote later that day. "At the end of a big tour of ShopRite and meeting, she pulls me aside with no one else around and says that I need to move forward with the Rockefeller project. It is very important to the governor. The word is that you are against it and you need to move forward or we are not going to be able to help you. I know it's not right – these things should not be connected – but they are, she says, and if you tell anyone, I will deny it."
I think we're talking criminal investigations now.—
Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 18, 2014
If what @dawnzimmernj says is true, it isn't just about Chris Christie's political career being over. Someone may likely go to trial.—
Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) January 18, 2014
The second warning, according to Zimmer, came four days later. She and Constable, who now led Christie's department of community affairs, were seated together on stage for a public television special on Sandy recovery. Again, Zimmer provided this diary entry from May 17, which she said captured the incident. "We are mic'ed up with other panelists all around us and probably the sound team is listening. And he says "I hear you are against the Rockefeller project". I reply "I am not against the Rockefeller project; in fact I want more commercial development in Hoboken." "Oh really? Everyone in the State House believes you are against it – the buzz is that you are against it. If you move that forward, the money would start flowing to you" he tells me.

USA Today: What A Shocker! Young People Like Obamacare
First it was, we think we are invincible. Then it was that the penalty was too low, or that we would be turned off by website glitches. After the Department of Health and Human Services released its initial age breakdown enrollment data Monday, it is time to finally put the pessimism to rest. Young people are enrolling in health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, and for good reason — being covered is essential to their economic security.
Department of Health & Human Services announced that 30% of Obamacare's 2.2 million private insurance enrollees are under the age of 35. More specifically 24% of enrollees are between the ages of 18- and 34-years-old. In other words, the exchanges have a percentage of young adult enrollees that is comparable to their proportion of the overall population. All the evidence suggests that youth enrollment will only go up as we get closer to the deadline.

"I've got to get back because somebody is having a birthday today…I'm going to go ahead and sign this bill."
Ari Berman: Members Of Congress Introduce A New Fix For The Voting Rights Act
The Sensenbrenner-Conyers-Leahy bill strengthens the VRA in five distinct ways: 1: The legislation draws a new coverage formula for Section 4, thereby resurrecting Section 5. States with five violations of federal law to their voting changes over the past fifteen years will have to submit future election changes for federal approval. This new formula would currently apply to Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Local jurisdictions would be covered if they commit three or more violations or have one violation and "persistent, extremely low minority turnout" over the past fifteen years.
The formula is based on a rolling calendar, updated with a current fifteen-year time period to exempt states who are no longer discriminating or add new ones who are, creating a deterrent against future voting rights violations. It's based on empirical conditions and current data, not geography or a fixed time period—which voting rights advocates hope will satisfy Chief Justice John Roberts should the new legislation be enacted and reach the Supreme Court.
The new Section 4 proposal is far from perfect. It does not apply to states with an extensive record of voting discrimination, like Alabama (where civil rights protests in Selma gave birth to the VRA), Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, which were previously subject to Section 5. Nor does it apply to states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that have enacted new voting restrictions in the past few years. Moreover, Department of Justice objections to voter ID laws will not count as a new violation.

David Cay Johnston: Willful Blindness Worsens Inequality
The rich really are getting richer, while the vast majority is getting poorer. All you have to do is look at the official government data to know this. Sadly, though, most of our nationally prominent journalists, especially David Brooks of The New York Times and PBS, do not know this because they neglect to do a basic journalistic task. It's called reporting. The first and overwhelming problem is that his scale is wrong, probably because Brooks just conjured up the only hard number in that passage. Brooks writes about "the growing wealth of the top 5 percent."
The threshold to be in the top 5 percent income group in 2012 was $161,000, analysis of tax return data by economists Emanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty shows. That is a lot of money to most people, but it is pocket change for top Wall Streeters, the group whose pay Brooks properly calls perverse. Lloyd Blankfein, who runs Goldman Sachs, was paid $23 million in 2012. That is 142 times the threshold to be in the top 5 percent. Looked at another way, had Blankfein been paid weekly, his first paycheck would have shown almost 3 times the gross pay that those at the top 5 percent threshold labored all year to make.
Goldman's 32,400 employees made $12.6 billion last year, which is as much money as the lowest-earning 6.2 million American workers made the year before. To put that in another inequality perspective, in 2012 America had 23.3 million workers, all of them part-time or seasonal, who made less than $5,000. They averaged $2,025 each. Ponder that for a moment. About one worker in six made only $2,000.

Think Progress: Governor Of State With Highest Minimum Wage Says It's Still Too Low
Washington Governor Jay Inslee (D), whose state has the highest minimum wage of any in the country at $9.32 an hour, proposed raising it to between $10.82 and $11.82 in his State of the State address on Tuesday. "There are tens of thousands of jobs that people depend on that don't provide a living wage in our state," he said. "An increase in minimum wage means more money being spent in our economy."
Republicans in the sate House and Senate expressed concerns that a higher wage could hurt small businesses, farmers, and businesses along the border with Idaho, which has a minimum wage at the federal level of $7.25. Democrats control the House but Republicans effectively control the Senate. Washington has lately become home to demands for even higher minimum wages. In the town surrounding the Seattle-Tacoma airport, voters approved a $15 minimum wage, although a court recently narrowed its impact to just those who work outside the airport. The group that organized support for the higher wage is fighting that decision.

TIME: Harvey Weinstein To Take Aim At NRA In New Movie
Film executive Harvey Weinstein said Wednesday he plans to make an anti-gun movie starring Meryl Streep that will take a direct shot at the National Rifle Association.
"We're going to take this issue head on, and they're going to wish they weren't alive after I'm done with them," Weinstein said on Howard Stern's radio show. "I never want to have a gun," Weinstein said. "I don't think we need guns in this country, and I hate it, and I think the NRA is a disaster area."

With tax identity theft becoming a more widespread crime, it's important that consumers know how to reduce their chances of becoming a victim.
The IRS has reported a significant increase in the number of fraudulent tax returns filed, with 641,690 tax-related identity theft incidents from the first nine months of 2012, up from 242,142 total incidents in 2011 and 47,730 from 2008.
Tax identity theft occurs when an offender falsifies tax returns to get someone else's refund check. Sometimes all it takes is a stolen Social Security number and a fake address. Victims don't realize their refunds have been stolen until the IRS denies them their legitimate refund check.
"The best defense against identity theft of any kind is to be vigilant in the protection of your personal information," said Trey Loughran, president of the Personal Solutions unit at Equifax.
"It can take many months for a victim of tax identity theft to finally get his or her rightfully owed refund check."
Here are eight steps you can take to lessen your risk of becoming a victim of tax identity theft:
1. Protect your personal information by keeping important documents, like your birth certificate and Social Security and Medicare cards, in a safe place. Only carry these documents with you when it's necessary.
2. File your tax return as soon as possible during tax season. If you file with the IRS first, the thief will be denied when trying to use your Social Security number for a fake return.
3. If you file your taxes by mail, take your tax return to the post office. Do not leave it in your mailbox, where it can be easily stolen.
4. Check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure your tax report is being prepared by a reputable business.
5. If you wouldn't normally file a tax return, for example if you are a full-time student with no income, be wary of anyone who offers to prepare your taxes so you can receive a refund or "free money."
6. Never sign a blank form that someone else will complete for you.
7. Watch out for scams. Remember that the IRS will never contact you through any form of electronic communication, like email, to ask for your personal information.
8. Check your credit report regularly. If your personal information has been compromised for tax fraud, identity thieves can also use it to commit other types of identity fraud, like opening credit card accounts in your name. You can request a free credit report each year from all three credit reporting agencies at www.annualcreditreport.com.
If the IRS denies your tax return because you have become a victim of identity theft, you can still get your tax return. File a report with the police, followed by the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490. Also sign an identity theft affidavit.
I am worried I gave my SSN to an unlawful source and am extremely concerned I could become the victim of Identity theft! Do I still follow up with the police and call the IPSU 800#?
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!
I assume I do not have much time!!

At the end of the 90-day study period, both groups had significant overall increases in the size of their hearts. For endurance athletes, the left and right ventricles the chambers that send blood into the aorta and to the lungs, respectively expanded. In contrast, the heart muscle of the strength athletes tended to thicken, a phenomenon that appeared to be confined to the left ventricle. The most significant functional differences related to the relaxation of the heart muscle between beats which increased in the endurance athletes but decreased in strength athletes, while still remaining within normal ranges.
We were quite surprised by both the magnitude of changes over a relatively short period and by how great the differences were between the two groups of athletes, Baggish says. The functional differences raise questions about the potential impact of long-term training, which should be followed up in future studies.
While this study looks at young athletes with healthy hearts, the information it provides may someday benefit heart disease patients. The take-home message is that, just as not all heart disease is equal, not all exercise prescriptions are equal, Baggish explains. This should start us thinking about whether we should tailor the type of exercise patients should do to their specific type of heart disease. The concept will need to be studied in heart disease patients before we can make any definitive recommendations.

I'm planning to ride towards Arivaca. There's an abandoned mine area that I like, so will play there for a couple hours. Then Arivaca for lunch & fuel. Then I'd like to take Ruby Road for a bit, I'll probably head into Warsaw Canyon to California Gulch and do that loop. Depending on time and temperature, we'll either finish up Ruby Road and loop back to staging area on the road or head back the way we came. If you don't know the area, and are on a big bike We'll probably take the 15 min Interstate ride back to wherever we stage. If bikes aren't suitable we can take Pendelton back to where ever we decide to stage. (Staging area to be decided but I have some good ideas, maybe Amado?)
Probably start around 9.
May 12
Haven't decided yet, but am leaning on riding out by Flux Canyon/Harshaw Ghost town area. I found this "sky island" type place up there and I want to see it again. I'll probably head towards Montezumo Canyon. This one is mostly dirt road with some "Hey lets see where this goes" moments. That said, I'm quite interested in riding some new terrain so if you know the area I'm up for seeing some different terrain.
Probably start around the same time, maybe a bit earlier.
I ride a DR650, both rides are two track but the May 12 is more like dirt roads, both days will have some pavement too. You'll need dirt tires and a similar bike for May 11. I have Kenda 270s on my DR. I'm a very experienced rider but the is my first year riding in the desert. Anyone's welcome, we'll ride to the lowest skill level in the group. I don't hesitate to turn around if the trail(s) get too tough for me. You'll need a plated bike.
I'd like to keep the group small-ish, manageable but we can always divide up into smaller groups.
I'm also looking for new areas to ride not too far from there, so feel free to suggest some areas even if you aren't coming along. :)

MORROW — The public is invited to attend the 2013 Michael B. King Spelling and Legal Bee will be held Saturday, Dec. 21 at Freedom Christian Center, 6928 Commercial Drive in Morrow. The spelling contest begins at 9 a.m.
The Spelling Legal-Bee was created by Jonesboro attorney Michael King, a former grade school teacher in Atlanta. King believes the Legal-Bee is the only legal spelling contest for grade school students in the United States. The first Spelling Legal-Bee was held in December 2001 with 16 students participating in the contest. In December 2011, more than 80 students participated in the Spelling Legal-Bee.
King anticipates more than 50 students will participate in the 2013 Spelling Legal-Bee. The deadline for submitting registration forms is Thursday, Dec. 19. There is no registration fee.
The top spellers in the elementary school division (grades 4-6) and middle school division (grades 7-9) will receive $150 and trophies. The second through seventh place spellers will receive trophies and $100, $75, $50, $25, $15 and $5, respectively. All participants will receive T-shirts and certificates.
Clayton State establishes Dean's Advisory Board
The College of Arts and Sciences at Clayton State University has established its first Dean's Advisory Board.
Dean Dr. Nasser Momayezi said the board is comprised of prominent members of the community as well as Clayton State faculty emeritus from the College of Arts and Sciences.
"This is a leadership board that serves as champions of the college's direction and assists in securing financial resources needed to achieve its long-range academic goals," said Momayezi. "The board has met several times and has developed a clear mission to assist the dean and the leadership of the school to enact vision and values in the lives of the undergraduate and graduate students at Clayton State University."
Chairing the Dean's Advisory Board is former state senator and state representative Gail Buckner, one of the College of Arts & Sciences most distinguished alumni, and one who already has a long history of service to Clayton State and the state of Georgia.
Buckner of Jonesboro graduated from Clayton State in 1977 with an associate's degree in education. She later earned a bachelor's degree in integrative studies from Clayton State. She was named Clayton State's first Alumnus of the Year in 2002 and served as the university's Commencement speaker in December 2003 — the first time an alumnus of Clayton State had served as the Commencement speaker.
"In 1969, when Clayton State welcomed its first students to study at our campus, there was great excitement in our community," Buckner said. "That same sense of pride and respect continues today because Clayton State continues to distinguish itself as a premier institution for higher learning.
"As a graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences, I am honored to chair the Dean's Advisory Board, and I look forward to sharing Clayton State's journey of excellence with not only our community, but also the world," she continued.
Serving as vice chair of the Dean's Advisory Board is Dr. Eugene Hatfield, professor emeritus of history, and one of the seminal faculty members in Clayton State's progression from a junior college to a university, and the first director of the university's Honors Program. Continuing to take an active role in the university he served for more than 30 years, Hatfield is also president of the Clayton State Retirees Association.
"I had the privilege of teaching some excellent students while I was at Clayton State," said Hatfield. "I know that like my students then, many of our current students have challenges to overcome in gaining a college education. I think this organization will help encourage them in their efforts and recognize their achievements. I look forward to being a part of it.
"I have known most of the members of the Dean's group for many years," he continued. "I look forward to working with them and Dean Momayezi in our efforts to assist students in the College of Arts & Sciences."
State Rep. Valencia Stovall of District 74 (D-Ellenwood) serves as the treasurer of the Dean's Advisory Board, and Henry County State Court Judge Jason T. Harper serves as secretary.
Other Dean's Advisory Board members include retired Clayton State faculty members Dr. Elliott McElroy, Dr. Brad Rice, Dr. Joseph Trachtenberg and Dr. John Kohler.
Public officials also serving on the board include Republican state Sen. Rick Jeffares of District 17, Democratic state Rep. Mike Glanton of District 75, Chief Judge Steven Teske of the Clayton County Juvenile Court and Forest Park Police Chief Dwayne Hobbs.
The most recent alumnus on the board is Jennifer Rosenbaum, a 2013 Clayton State graduate, who is attending law school at Emory University.
Also serving on the board are Randy Muth, founder and executive director of the Angkor Resource Center in Riverdale, and Atlanta attorney David Worley.
Military notes
Air Force Airman Mykeedah Patillo graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in San Antonio, Texas. Patillo, the daughter of Doris Patillo of Ellenwood and Michael Patillo of Atlanta, is a 2007 graduate of Morrow High School.
Air Force Airman Brandon Scott graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in San Antonio, Texas. Scott is the son of Latrevelle Duckworth of Fayetteville and Craig Scott of Jonesboro.

Honest, enjoys all that life has to offer, whether it is sharing a meal with family or travelling the world
I enjoy my friends and familly and my businesses. I equally enjoy a great workout, yoga or pilates class as much as I enjoy being out in the fresh air bladding or cycling. Travel is one of my greatest passions and spend several months of the year travelling to enjoy diferrent cultures, sceneries and climates. I am looking for someone who is straight forward and knows what they want in life and what makes them happy and wants someone to share their joys, happiness and sorrows with:-) My primary residence is Toronto, Canada however I do spend aproximately 3 months per year in Southern California. If I met the right person in SC the amount of time would definetly increase. Most of my business can be conducted by e-mail & phone. Meeting someone who could live an east coast/ west coast lifestyle would be ideal but not the most important part of building a lasting relationship. First and foremost is someone who speaks their mind and is open and honest, enjoys living a healthy lifestyle, doesn't sweat the small stuff and doesn't always have lots of drama going on in their lives.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Cycling, Inline skating, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
I love to travel and enjoy sightseeing thru Europe, Safari's in Africa, trekking to Machu Pichu or up Kilamanjarro in Africa. Carribean Islands are always a favorite as is Hong Kong and Asia in general. Not many places I don't enjoy:)
Ryerson University, Toronto, ON
I love most foods and a great bottle of wine makes the meal more enjoyable. Current TV shows I enjoy include Sharks Tank, Dragons Den & Mystery Shows
I enjoy blading, excercising, pilates, yoga, doing a variety of different events, theatre a few times per year as well as attending sporting events a few times a year. Lakers live is always entertaining.
When I read it is mainly spiritual or biographies. I never read fiction.

I was on my junior-high chess team! One time, another seventh grader and I entered an eighth-grade tournament. Every player played every other player once (round-robin); a win counted as one point and a draw was 1/2 point. My friend and I got a total of 8 points, while all the 8th-graders got the same number of points (as each other). How many eighth-graders were in the tourney, and why?
*Note there are two possible answers

So it looks like I have misunderstood the question assuming that both 7-graders scored 8 points each.
Anyway, "my version" of the puzzle was still interesting to solve.
