CRESTVIEW — A Bob Sikes Elementary School fourth-grader received a surprise on Christmas Eve when a mysterious manila envelope arrived at her grandparents' Garden City home.
A U.S. Postal Service barcode sticker obscured the return address.
Curious, Justice Livingston's grandmother, Pat Mosely, peeled back the sticker. Underneath was imprinted "The White House, Washington, D.C."
"'Justice!' she shouted and I came running — 'Yes? Yes?" Justice said.
Justice had written to President Barack Obama in late October wishing him luck in the November elections.
"I told him I had been keeping up with him and I thought he had done a good job," she said.
It wasn't her first correspondence from the president. She had written to him soon after his first inauguration, when she was a kindergartner, and was excited then to have received a card from the White House.
This time, a cascade of items fell from the envelope.
In addition to a photo of Obama, there was a smaller picture of Bo, the first dog; a brochure describing a typical day in Bo's life, including photos of him romping with the first family; another brochure about the White House and its history; and "a letter signed by President Obama in ink!" Justice said, proudly displaying the now-framed missive.
Monday, she will get to see the president in person.
Her cousins, Crestview natives Libby Lewis-Reeves, Tawanah Reeves and Master Sgt. Tonya Lewis, will take her to Washington, D.C., for Obama's inauguration and the subsequent inaugural parade. They also plan some sightseeing, Justice said.
"They (the girl's cousins) just adore Justice," Mosely said. "One is coming from Atlanta, one from Orlando and one is in the Army in Kentucky."
"I want to see the Washington Monument," Justice said. "I can't wait! Two days in paradise! I'm not excited about the cold, but I'm excited."
Mosely said she and her husband, Howard, encourage Justice to take an active interest in local and national affairs and to care about other people.
"We want Justice to be real civic-minded and help people in the community," Mosely said. "She has a good start."
Justice ran for fourth-grade class president, and though she didn't win, she is involved with the student government and intends to toss her hat in the ring at the next opportunity.
Last fall, Justice started the Brownstone Manor News, a newsletter for her subdivision. In it, she welcomes newcomers and introduces them and their pets to their new neighbors. During the holidays, the newsletter — whose circulation has grown from six copies to 27 — launched a Toys for Tots drive. She later delivered the toys to City Hall.
Justice intends to prepare a report on her experiences at Monday's inaugural events for classmates in Pat English's fourth-grade class. And she's already composing a reply toObama's letter, in which he encouraged her civic involvement.
"I'm going to tell him I support him on gun control and the nation has to, too," Justice said.
Obama on Wednesday presented a $500 million proposal to curb gun violence like the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary massacre in Newtown, Conn. The plan would ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and would require background checks for all gun sales, according to the Associated Press.
The National Rifle Association opposes most of the president's plan, which faces "a doubtful future in a divided Congress where Republicans control the House," the AP reports.
Justice offered advice for other students contemplating writing a letter to the president; she said the first time they write, they may not receive the number of enclosures she received.
"Don't be afraid and just try and hope for the best," she said. "Put some feeling and details into it. Be serious in what you're saying and be true and meaningful."
"And that's very important whenever you're talking to people," Mosely reminded her granddaughter. "Always be true and sincere."

The converging cloud-based unified communications market
Businesses are heavily reliant on communications technologies, though many organizations are not taking full advantage of the solutions available on the market. As organizations recognize the need to leverage multiple collaborative tools simultaneously, decision-makers are opting for unified communications systems. However, not many companies are placing these systems within cloud servers, which can make them much more efficient.
A recent ARN report highlighted how many enterprises are not taking full advantage of the products in the cloud computing and unified communications landscapes. As a result, customer service is suffering and organizations are struggling to keep clients engaged and coming back for transactions in the future.
If organizations cannot convert consumers into loyal customers, decision-makers will have difficulty asserting their dominance in today's increasingly connected world.
"While in the past these processes may have been expensive to set up, businesses can now implement these in a cost effective manner with minimal difficulty," unified communications consultant Craig Neil said, according to ARN. "And with customers getting used to more instantaneous and ongoing interactions with businesses, the bar has been raised for employee and customer expectations, and businesses who don't match these will be quickly left behind."
Cloud-driven unified communications
While unified communications itself is a relatively new technology, it's initial presence was only on-site models. As cloud computing services emerged, however, IT professionals recognized the potential advantages that are associated with migrating a unified communications platform off-site.
"Cloud technologies have been a game changer for the UC sector and the channels with which businesses can connect with customers has grown significantly as a result," Neil said, according to ARN.
A report by Transparency Market Research revealed that the global unified communications market is forecast to generate nearly $62 billion in revenue in 2018, representing a compound annual growth rate of more than 22 percent between 2012 and 2018. The proliferation of mobile and cloud technologies is accelerating this industry by giving enterprises and small organizations new opportunities to improve internal and external collaboration, while simultaneously opening up new doors in the customer service landscape.
As the overall communications and cloud landscapes mature, they will inevitably collide at one point or another. Forward-thinking decision-makers need to recognize this certainty and plan ahead, working with trusted service providers to map out a plan of attack. This approach to tomorrow's collaboration capabilities will give firms a competitive advantage.

I completely forgot her name but i believe she is the office manager. She is awesome. She always helps me out when i call. She never rushes me and answers my questions. What I noticed and liked the most is that whenever she tells me she can't do something for me- she always follows up with what she can do. THAT is great customer service. I wish I could remember her name!Sonia from Pembroke Pines, FL
July 17, 2015
Your staff at this location is attentive, made us feel secure about storing with you, and was patient with all the questions we had. I have not stored anywhere before, yet I felt like my items were as safe as if they were at home with ME. We are very happy we chose Uncle Bob's and this particular location. Thank you!Sonia from Fort Lauderdale, FL

I would like to mention the reason this facility is top notch is due to your Manager. He is Friendly, Helpful, Courteous and goes out of his way to tend to the Customers. That's why I will recommend this facility for Uncle Bob's.John from Coral Gables, FL
March 23, 2015
Rates are a bit higher then compared to most and if I had more time when looking I might have gone with another company but was in a bind and needed fast storage and this was close to home and available so no time to shop around. Great service though. Sometimes hard to reach someone at the office but that is understandable. Charles, Cheryl and Nancy at the office are who I deal with and they are always absolutely wonderful!! I hope you share this with them and give them the recognition they deserve :)Alexandra from Lantana, FL

It is true that the South Miami facility is state of the art, but as I am sure you know, it's the people that truly make it special. Mario and his staff are not just good, they are exceptional.

USA TODAY: Ex-training partners hope UFC 154 co-headliner leads to title shotUSA TODAY: Ex-training partners hope UFC 154 co-headliner leads to title shot | MMAjunkie.comHowever, UFC President Dana White has suggested that if St-Pierre wins, he instead could be in line for a superfight against middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva. If that fight happens, the winner of Hendricks vs. Kampmann could be left in limbo. With that in mind, it would be natural to assume both men are hoping for Condit to score an upset, but Hendricks insists that's not the case.
"I never hope anybody loses," Hendricks said. "I don't care who wins and who loses. I just know that after Saturday night I'm going to be the No. 1 contender and I'm going to get a title shot. That's pretty much all I need to focus on. I can't think too much about the possibilities, because then I'll lose focus on what I need to do right now. I just have to stay calm and do what I do."
The bout should prove an interesting clash of styles. The 5-9 Hendricks was a four-time All-America wrestler at Oklahoma State, and his game is based on powerful hands and a strong grappling base. Meanwhile, 6-0 Kampmann comes from a striking background and boasts pinpoint combinations along with commendable durability.
Those contrasts led the two to work together frequently before Hendricks left Las Vegas, where Kampmann still resides, for his current home in Texas.
"Johny was helping me out with my wrestling, and I was helping him with his striking," Kampmann said. "We've trained before, so we know each other pretty well.
"That won't hold us back, though. We're coming to fight, and we're still going to try to punch each other's face off."
A Condit win against St-Pierre could lead to an immediate title shot for the Hendricks-Kampmann winner. And if St-Pierre wins, the co-feature winner could simply decide to wait patiently for a shot at the belt while St-Pierre takes on Silva.
With so many variables, Kampmann says the focus simply should be on impressing the Montreal crowd and letting everything else sort itself out.
"There are never any guarantees," Kampmann said. "You've just got to win, and preferably win in spectacular fashion, too."

A Night to Celebrate
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Finals week has arrived on the campus of West Virginia University. A string of seven days that induces a crazy case of stress and fear for many students, it also causes many to shift into a reflective state, remembering all the great times they have experienced in Morgantown over the last nine months.
Mountaineer student-athletes are not immune from many of these emotions. The end of the spring semester draws to a close a busy year filled with classes, practices and competitions, and when they have a free moment, time spent at their counterparts' games and matches, cheering on their fellow Mountaineers.
Friendships run deep within the WVU athletic department. While student-athletes spend many hours with each other in study hall and in the stands, time together away from academic and athletic requirements is few and far between.
In an effort to build fellowship among the Mountaineer student-athletes, the WVU Student-Athletes Advisory Committee (SAAC), the voice of student-athletes on WVU's campus, is presenting the first Blue & Golden Globes Awards dinner this evening at Touchdown Terrace at Milan Puskar Stadium. A night built around celebrating the WVU student-athlete, attendees will have the opportunity to walk a red carpet, enjoy a delicious dinner and honor those who have spent countless hours supporting their fellow student-athletes and the Morgantown community.
"We haven't been able to get all the WVU student-athletes at one event in a long time, and we felt it would be great to get the athletes together and recognize everyone's accomplishments in a fun setting," said junior Evyn McCoy, a middle blocker on the WVU volleyball team. "There are a lot of activities planned for the night. The members of SAAC felt that it is important for the teams to interact with each other. A lot of the initiatives we've taken this year have been in an effort to integrate the teams, and I think this awards dinner is a good way to end the season for everyone."
The evening's headline will be the award presented to the winners of the new "Top of the Mountain Challenge," a contest initiated by the SAAC board. The challenge pits the teams against one another to see who can earn the most points for attendance at sporting events, social media presence and personal, academic, athletic and service achievements. Points were awarded when certain criteria were met, and a tally board was on display inside the WVU Academic Center all year so the teams could see where they ranked against the others.
"We wanted the student-athletes to get more involved within the WVU campus and the athletic department," said junior Ali Connelly, a midfielder on the WVU women's soccer team. "Building a WVU athletic community is very important to us. We want the student-athletes to work together. We are all naturally competitive, too, so we made sure there is a really nice prize that will be awarded at the dinner. Our goal is to make this challenge stick and to grow it next year."
"I see this challenge not only as an opportunity for the student-athletes to interact and support the other sports, but also as a fun, competitive way for the teams to battle against each other," echoed McCoy. "It's fun to watch the teams earn points.
"When you make the commitment to compete in collegiate athletics, you're privileged to be a part of a great experience, and it's important to see that everyone enjoys that opportunity at WVU. It's a challenge to keep up with the other teams, and we all want our team to be at the top."
Keli Cunningham, Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director and SAAC advisor, is proud that the challenge, as well as tonight's awards dinner, is a product of student-athletes' visions.
"Historically, we've held an academic banquet that celebrates academics and community service achievements, but this event will go a bit further and incorporate a number of other areas that the student-athletes have come up with," she explained. "The thing I really like about this event is that it was envisioned by the student-athletes, and they took an active role to see it come to fruition. This dinner elaborates on our academic banquet."
Additional achievements that will be honored this evening include the announcement of the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll and the 2013-14 Male and Female Student-Athlete Community Service Outreach Award honorees. That award recognizes a student-athletes commitment to community service. Connelly earned the honor last year and believes giving back to the community is one of the most important responsibilities a Mountaineer student-athlete holds.
"It's really important to give back, whether it's by helping kids or cleaning up a neighborhood – it's just important for the community to see that student-athletes aren't just here to play sports. We do care about the community we live in," she explained. "There's more to life than just playing sports."
An integral part in the conceptualization of this evening's event, Connelly, on the cusp of her final year at WVU, is focused on making the four-year college experience for Mountaineer student-athletes a better one. She is excited for the student-athletes to gather at one place for a night filled with recognition and laughter. Ensuring that those in attendance sport smiles all evening, the SAAC board members also will hand out awards that recognize off-beat, personality-driven attributes, such as "Coach of the Year" and "Comeback of the Year."
"We want everyone to enjoy themselves and have a good night," she explained. "There are some fun awards that will be going out tonight. We had a lot of great nominations from the teams, especially for "Best Game Face" and "Most Hours Clocked in the Training Room." It's going to be fun."
On the eve of a weekend that will see many WVU students tucked in a corner with their noses in a book, the Mountaineer student-athletes are ready to celebrate each other before the official close of the 2013-14 season. Achievements in the classroom and in the competition arena will fuel a lifetime of opportunities, but it's the memories made with peers that the Mountaineers will hold close forever.
This evening's dinner is closed to the public and media.

CHARLESTON — Four years after scandal derailed his political career, ex-Republican Gov. Mark Sanford once again holds a South Carolina political office, winning back his old congressional seat Tuesday after a race in which he battled his past and an opponent who outdid him in fundraising.
Sanford's resurrection was completed when he defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert, in a district that hasn't elected a Democratic congressman in more than three decades.
"Some guy came up to me the other day and said you look a lot like Lazarus," Sanford told a crowd of more than 100 cheering supporters at his victory celebration, referring to the man who, according to the Bible, Christ raised from the dead.
With all precincts reporting, Sanford had about 54 percent of the vote.
"I've talked a lot about grace during the course of this campaign," he said. "Until you experience human grace as a reflection of God's grace, I don't think you really get it. And I didn't get it before."
Sanford, who turns 53 later this month, has never lost a race in three runs for Congress and two for governor. And he said before the votes were counted Tuesday that if he lost this one, he wouldn't run for office again.
He saw his political career disintegrate in summer 2009, when he disappeared for five days, telling his staff he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. He returned to admit in a tearful news conference he had been in Argentina with his mistress – a woman to whom he is now engaged.
Sanford later paid a $70,000 ethics fine, the largest in state history, for using public money to fly for personal purposes. His wife and political ally, Jenny, divorced him. They have four sons.
On Tuesday, he thanked his oldest son and his fiancee, Maria Belen Chapur, who stood near him after flying from Argentina. The woman he has called his "soul mate" left immediately after his victory speech.
Sanford's 1st District, slightly reconfigured from the one he held for three terms in the 1990s, is strongly Republican and Mitt Romney took it by 18 points in last year's presidential race. Green Party candidate Eugene Platt also ran.
Three weeks before the special election, news surfaced that Sanford's ex-wife had filed a court complaint alleging he was in her house without permission in violation of their divorce decree, leading the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull its support from the campaign. Sanford must appear in court Thursday on the complaint.
Sanford said he tried to get in touch with his ex-wife and was in the house so his youngest son would not have to watch the Super Bowl alone.
The seat became vacant when U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint resigned from his Senate seat late last year. Governor Nikki Haley then appointed the sitting congressman, Tim Scott, to fill DeMint's seat.
"We put up a heck of a fight, didn't we?" Colbert Busch told a crowd of supporters at a hotel in Charleston, across the Cooper River from where Sanford met his supporters. "The people have spoken, and I respect their decision."
Colbert Busch had said after she voted that she felt positive and encouraged. But in the end, Sanford took the race despite his tainted past being an issue for some voters.
Gabriel Guillard, 49, a massage therapist and teacher, said she liked Colbert Busch but would have voted for anyone but Sanford.
"I would do anything to make sure Mark Sanford doesn't get back in because of his past behavior," she said. "And I am so tired of South Carolina being a laughingstock. I'm so sick of it."
Others didn't let the past dictate. Marion Doar, 79 and retired from careers in the military and business, said he voted for Sanford.
"Sanford was a fine fellow," he said. "He still is a fine fellow. Following his heart as he did was foolish but it happens."
Sanford already has survived a 16-way GOP primary with several sitting state lawmakers and Teddy Turner, the son of media magnate Ted Turner. He also won the primary runoff. Colbert Busch defeated perennial candidate Ben Frasier with 96 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary.
Colbert Busch, 58, picked up the endorsement of The Post and Courier over the weekend. The Charleston newspaper called her "a welcome tonic" for those who suffer from "Sanford Fatigue – a malady caused by overexposure to all of the cringe-worthy details of his 2009 disgrace as governor, his ongoing efforts for redemption via the political process, his resurgent personal problems, etc."
Sanford, despite losing national GOP support, picked up the endorsement of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a tea party favorite who is well-known in the district.

Maynard: 'Whether Now or Later, Pettis and I Are on a Collision Course'
Gray Maynard: 'Whether Now or Later, Pettis and I Are on a Collision Course' | Bleacher Report
"Pettis is the fight I would love to have," Maynard told Bleacher Report. "At the same time, I understand why he would wait for a title shot. That is what we are all working towards and if that is on his plate then I get sitting out. But things rarely go as planned in this game and if something happens as a result of the Henderson vs. Melendez fight and Pettis decides he's tired of waiting then I'd be happy to oblige him. The way I see it, whether it happens now or later, Pettis and I are on a collision course.
"He does some exciting things inside the cage and I think it would be a great challenge trying to solve that puzzle. I watched him beat Cerrone this weekend, but "Cowboy's" style was the perfect matchup for Pettis to do what he does best. Cerrone comes forward with a straight up and down Muay Thai-style and Pettis was able to dictate space and get off on him. That's not the way I fight and I think I would present some difficult challenges for him.""The lightweight division is crazy right now," Maynard said. "You take the top guys and put them in a fight and it's anyone's game on any given day. There is no rankings when it comes to title contention. It is who is winning big fights and making the most noise. Right now that guy is Anthony Pettis and why wouldn't I want to fight him? Check my resume. I've only fought the top guys. I have wins over Frankie Edgar, Nate Diaz, Jim Miller, all who are or have been top-level guys in this weight class.
"I'm kind of in Purgatory right now," Maynard added. "I'm not in Heaven and I'm not in Hell. I'm not on the doorstep of a title shot but I'm not out of the picture either. Having to drop out of the Lauzon fight and the time off has been difficult, but I'm choosing to only focus on the positives. I've had a lot of nagging injuries that have lingered over the past and this time away has allowed me to heal them up and become totally healthy for the first time in years. I'm going to come back stronger and better than ever and the I guarantee I'm making a run at that lightweight title."

As is customary with the passing of an old year and the exciting entrance into a new one, people try to make their best predictions as to what the future holds within their area of expertise. For GoGrid, this is obviously around Cloud Computing. This year, instead of making my own prediction list (as I have done in the past), I thought it would be important to get some other expert voices from the GoGrid and cloud community to do this task.
The important thing to always remember here, especially when dealing with the cloud, is that it changes quickly. It's similar to buying the latest technology, the moment you buy it (or make the prediction, in this case), it's instantly outdated. But still, the process is fun if not, educational.
Below is a compilation of 2012 cloud computing predictions from a variety of subject matter experts and thought-leaders in the field of cloud infrastructure, security and services. The contributors are:
- Warren Heffelfinger (CEO – GoGrid)
- James Urquhart (Cloud Writer – GigaOm/VP of Product Strategies – enStratus/GoGrid Partner)
- Larry Warnock (CEO – Gazzang/GoGrid Partner)
- John Keagy (Chairman & Founder – GoGrid)
- Carson Sweet (CEO – CloudPassage/GoGrid Partner)
- Antonio Piraino (CTO – ScienceLogic/GoGrid Customer)
Because of the wealth of knowledge coming from this group, I have actually broken this article out into a series of 2 posts. Without further ado, onto the first set of predictions!

Women's Basketball Season Recap

2011-12 Season Review: After putting his first year as the head coach at Hilbert College under his belt, Rob Peterson and staff were ready to face any second-year challenges. The staff increased the roster number and improved the talent level of the players through their first recruiting cycle as they readied for their sophomore year. By the end of the season, Hilbert grabbed two Allegheny Mountain Collegiate wins, a first since the 2006-07 season.
Hilbert opened the season November 15th with a road loss at Wells College before they returned to Western NY to participate in the Betty Abgott Invitational Tournament hosted by Buffalo State College. The Hawks squared off against the host school and then had to battle Hamilton College in the consolation game. In the week before Thanksgiving, Hilbert traveled to Keuka College before hosting Alfred University in the first of several non-conference double headers with the Hilbert men's team. After the Thanksgiving break, Cazenovia snuck away with a 47-46 home win over Hilbert before the Hawks began their AMCC slate of games. Hilbert went 0-3 against La Roche, Penn State Behrend and Greensburg in December and took a break from organized practices while the team enjoyed their families during the holiday.
With sixteen games remaining on their schedule, coach Peterson prepared his Hawks for the intense portion of the season's schedule. As games are played on Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons, the Hawks were always on the run. They opened in January against Medaille before they captured their first AMCC win in four years with a 67-54 road victory at Franciscan. Just two games later, the confidence after their first win carried them into a 68-59 triumph at D'Youville College. Hilbert took three straight losses (two at home, one on the road) before they hosted the College of New Rochelle in a rematch from last year's first meeting. The Hawks repeated the previous year's results taking a 59-48 win on January 22. Hilbert played through the remainder of the AMCC schedule dropping three road games and four home contests.
The Hawks improved statistically as the year progressed. During the fall semester portion of their schedule, against predominantly non-conference opponents, Hilbert averaged 40 points per game. After the two week Christmas holiday break, the Hawks returned to action and improved their offensive output by almost six points per game the rest of the season. Comparatively, Hilbert raised their scoring average by five points per game and held opponents to two fewer points per game than one season ago.
Three players started all 25 games for Hilbert over the course of the season. Senior Julie Bossard averaged 6.1 points per game and 5.6 rebounds per contest as she pushed her career totals to 734 points, 685 rebounds and 175 blocked shots. Freshman Sarah Lorusso stepped into a starting role and averaged almost 3 assists in her 29 minutes per game. Another freshman, Jenah Labuski, averaged 8.2 points, many from behind the arc, and 6.2 rebounds per game. The team's leading scorer was Natalie Whitman who transferred to the Hamburg campus at the semester break. In her 16 games played, the sophomore averaged 11.5 points and team leading 8.3 rebounds per contest. Tiana Cheasman averaged 30 minutes per game, led the Hawks with 39 steals and averaged 6.5 ppg and 4.3 rpg during her first year of collegiate play.
Three players earned double-doubles this season with Cheasman credited midway through the season against Mount Aloysius with 15 points/13 rebounds. Labuski produced her first of three against Cazenovia (17 points/11 rebounds) and hit D'Youville up both games this year after scoring 20 and 11 points combined with 12 and 10 rebounds. Whitman accomplished the feat three times as well after she settled into the Hawk's style of play. She netted 17 points and garnered 14 rebounds against D'Youville before she grabbed 18 rebounds and scored 12 points against Bradford and scored 19 points and pulled down 14 rebounds in the team's final game of the season against Altoona. Five different players shared high-scoring honors during the year. Bossard and Whitman each led six times, while Labuski (five), Cheasman (four) and Lorusso (three) stepped in when needed to carry the team.
With the expected return of several seasoned players, coach Peterson and his staff anticipate the 2012 incoming freshman to complement the team's efforts of working towards qualifying for the AMCC play-offs.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

One of my favourite MAC eyeshadows of all time. It applies very well, and is very pigmented. It blends nicely as well, despite being a matte. I love wearing this colour, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a matte purple eyeshadow, as I've found many others very disappointing.
Fig. 1 is described as a "eggplant purple [with a Matte² finish]." It's a medium-dark, warm-toned purple with a matte finish. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Pro-Am's new venue brings back prep stars
Now Chuck Jones' dream can materialize in earnest.
As successful as the S.J.G. Greater N.C. Pro-Am has been over the years, this sixth season of the summer league will allow Jones, one of the league's founders, to fully embrace why it all started in the first place.
High school players are returning to the pro-am, which tips off on June 27 and is expected to run through Aug. 8, league organizers announced during a news conference at Go Realty on Thursday.
Sykes Gymnasium at Durham School of the Arts is the new site for the league that both began at N.C. Central's McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium.
When the summer league started six years ago, NCCU was a Division II school, so it was fine for high school players to participate.
But when NCCU was on the move toward Division I, high school players no longer were allowed to play in the summer league because the university might have gained an unfair recruiting advantage, according to the NCAA. That caused some tossing and turning that interrupted the big dream shared by Jones and his childhood pals from down east, Donyell Marshall and Jerry Stackhouse.
"That was really our focus when we started this," Jones said. "We wanted to have the high school players mentored by the college players, and the college players mentored by some of the pro guys.
"But because of NCAA rules, things we had no control over, it didn't work that way for the last couple of years. Now that we're over at Durham School of the Arts, we want to get back to our grassroots."
Jones played basketball at East Carolina and Winston-Salem State. Bryant played baseball for N.C. A&T, while Stackhouse, after suiting up for Dean Smith's teams at North Carolina, has enjoyed a long NBA career. All of them went to Kinston High School, and the league's initials represent the first names of their fathers — Sal (Jones' dad), Jerry (Bryant's dad) and George (Stackhouse's dad).
Stackhouse was not at the news conference, which is rare. In February, he was elected first vice president of the NBA Players Association, and he was attending a related meeting on Thursday, pro-am spokesman Erroll Reese said.
"One of Jerry's and Donyell's and Chuck's main thrusts was to have high school players be part of this whole environment to be mentored by the college players, as well as the NBA players," Reese said.
High school players can try out for summer-league rosters on June 25 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Riverside High's gym, and more information is at ncproam.com.
"I eat, drink and sleep high school basketball," Jones said. "North Carolina is always filled with a lot of talent. We have the top high school players from around the state. They will be in attendance.
"We're the first place that you see a lot of these guys coming in. We were the first place that you saw Kyrie Irving."
Irving spent a season at Duke before becoming an impact player in the NBA, where former UNC sixth man Danny Green has been lighting it up from behind the 3-point line in the league's finals.
"Well, he did that at the pro-am. We had John Wall," Jones said, referencing the Raleigh product who played a year at Kentucky before becoming the No. 1 overall pick of the Washington Wizards in 2010. "That's what we pride ourselves in, bringing people the top talent. As a matter of fact, the top talent in this area is the top talent in the country a lot of times, so we pride ourselves in being able to offer that to people that wouldn't have a chance to see those players play otherwise because of, a lot of times, the expense of it."
There is no admission charge for the pro-am games, but the popcorn, soft drinks and candy at the concession stands are not free.
Walter Davis, who played at UNC and in the NBA, said his six older brothers taught him the game of basketball. That essentially is the concept of the pro-am, he said.
Phil Ford, who also shares that UNC-NBA lineage, said he gets a kick out of seeing how much some of the pro-am players improve from summer to summer.
The summer league's move to DSA also allows junior college players to participate, Reese said.
Pro-am organizers are donating new basketball goals, as well as helping out with the installation of new flooring for the court, DSA athletics director John Melvin said.
DSA's gym looks like a miniature version of Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, although Melvin, who pulls for the Tar Heels, prefers likening his school's facility to UNC's Carmichael Arena.
The gym at DSA can hold about 2,500 people, Melvin said. The summer league averaged 2,000 spectators a year ago, although that number soared to 4,000 to 5,000 when big-named college and pro players were expected to play, Jones said.
In other words, the new pro-am venue should make for a more intimate setting than NCCU's gym, which can handle about 3,500 people.
Things might get tight at the summer league.
"Get there early, man," Jones said.

I honestly find it hard to believe that people use a passcode lock on their iPhone. I know they do & I'm not trolling, I just find it hard to believe. I turn my iPhone on & off all day long, glancing at information here and there. I can't begin to imagine having to enter a code EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I'm lucky though. I don't have friends that will tweet "poopin" if I leave my phone out... although why would I leave my phone out? I don't have any data on my phone that couldn't be looked at by someone else. Any "private browsing" or passwords are held in separate programs, thereby rendering a passcode lock unneeded.
That said, I am looking forward to the iPhone 5S and will use the fingerprint reader... at least if the latency is very similar to what I'm used to now.

BOONVILLE - A week into the 2012-13 basketball season around the area, Starmount tips off its regular season schedule tomorrow night in Boonville.
The boys and girls varsity teams host non-conference foe Surry Central in the varsity double-header tomorrow night to open the season.
The Lady Rams tip things off at 5:15 p.m. before the new-look boys take the court around 6:45 p.m. in the second game of the night.
For the boys, Starmount replaces their all-conference starting five from last season's 18-9 squad, including potential conference player of the year candidate Charlie Wagoner, who transferred during the off season.
First year head coach Rocky Horton will rely on a young roster that only features two seniors, Zach Worley and Nathan Williams. Worley averaged nearly 2 points per game last season, while Williams is a new addition to the club.
Juniors Gunner Cass, Isaiah Billips, Ben Combs and Dalton Vestal, along with sophomores James Ashley, Luke Shore and Josh Houser will have to step up to fill the voids left by last season's senior class.
For the girls, the Lady Rams will look to all-conference honoree and recent Guilford College signee Heaven Walters to lead the team.
Walters, who averaged nearly 17.5 points per game as a junior, will take more on more of the load for Starmount after the rest of the Lady Rams decided not to play this season.
Joining Walters is fellow senior Emily Pack and junior Whitney Pardue. A large group of freshman will also look to make an impact on varsity in their first season.
Miracle Walters, Alisha Baity, Morgan Randleman, Darion Dobson, Bralyn Hampton, Ashley Johnson, Molly Nichols and Sabrina Beatriz dominated on the middle school level at Starmount, only losing one game in their two seasons there, and will make the transition to the varsity squad.
Surry Central swept Forbush on the opening night of the season before splitting a double-header with Wilkes Central last Tuesday. Against Wilkes Central, the Lady Golden Eagles won the opener to knock off the defending Mountain Valley Conference champions, while the Surry Central boys won the night cap.

I need help finding me a good concealable
I have been looking at 40 and 380 calibers for a small concealable piece.
The glock 23 and the malthus p99 are a couple that caught my eye as well as some 380 (wish I could remember which one) that I saw at a sporting goods place.
I was wondering what kind of concealables y'all use and what sort of things someone should look for when shopping.

My preferred conceal is a Kimber UDP II, very small print.
Why don't you tell us what you are looking for exactly, where you will conceal, how many rounds, etc.
I can carry conceal a 4" 1911, to something as small as a 3" XD .40 or my Kimber.
If I can't carry IWB, I will use a S&W Airlite with pocket holster.Originally Posted by Sifu Rudy Abel

The slimness of a compact 1911 really lends itself to CC.
May I suggest a 4 or 4.25 inch variety which has a bobtail and generous dehorning. I shall be adding a bobtail to the 4.25 inch variety I have in the near future.
Because, let's face it; any fool can take something resembling an existing design and make it meet and exceed harsh "combat conditions". Great. In the meantime while you're NOT worrying about whether you can chip frozen mud out of your weapon in time to blast off 500 failure-free rounds, there's a ton of fun to be had in having something which is accurate and nice to look at.
Style: Systema, BJJ, Arrestling--
I own a Glock 23 and I will never carry anything else. Not only is it compact and powerfull, but it is easy to use. You can carry a round in the chamber and not worry about misfires provided you use a proper holster. Since the safties are all located in the trigger and the action, there is no safety catch to flip off.
As far as the .380 - I'd give it is miss. It's an underpowered round. Go with the .357 or the .40 - .45 if you can handle it. The Glock 23 can fire both .357 or .40 with a simple barrel change-out.
My brother carries too, and he's a Kimber guy - but he's 6'1" and I'm 5'7" with teeny hands to match so the Glock just fits naturally. If you're a big dude you might like the Kimber series, but if you're closer to my size, I promise you'll prefer the Glock.
Might want to give the caliber more thought, as suggested. .380 and .40 are two very different animals. 9mm (9x19) would open up a few more options between those sizes, like the new Rohrbaugh. That would be small--REALLY small--smaller than many .380's, but that extra millimeter makes a lot of difference in power.
I don't carry concealed, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

A "Church Kid" Learns to Integrate Theology and Biology
Everything changed for me when I learned to acknowledge that I was made in the image of Jesus, who was theology and biology integrated.

Everything changed for me when I learned to acknowledge that I was made in the image of Jesus, who was theology and biology integrated.
Being a scientist in the Christian community, now that's a little difficult at times. Many Christians have stubbornly resisted understanding the vastness of God's creation in time and space.
I think the deepest question is "chance vs. necessity" in the origin of life. Not so much whether life was bound to occur...but more the question, "given that life started, was it destined to look the way we find it?"
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.

Sort By :
"Yummy. I didn't have any green pepper, and can't wait to explore this recipe more. I also used a bit more cream cheese than the initial recipe, and put a chunk of colby. This will be great to play with for brunch."
"Mmmm these turned out wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!! Fast and delicious!"
"Very tasty and good. They all went in one sitting. I ligtened up the whole recipe and got the fat down to 10.8g per tart. I used light cream cheese, 1% milk, 1 whole egg, 3 tbsp. egg whites, 1/4 c. of reduced 2% mexican cheese, red pepper (just what I had) reduced fat crescents and 5 tbsp. of real bacon bits. Couldn't tell they were lower in fat, just delicious."
"had my friend over for bkfast and made this recipe and just loved it,forgot to get the cream cheese and i had a whipped cream cheese with spinach and artichoke and worked out just great.we decided that this dish would be good for camping cause u could make ahead and when you eat them you pick up and go."
"LOVE IT! This was a simple quiche to make and everyone LOVES IT! I used mini muffin pans and it made about 2 1/2 dozen mini quiche's. I also made it as a sausage quiche. M'm! M'm! Good!"

+ Play Skyrim with my brother! (Playing ESO with others and against others that is ofc!)
+ Graphics (matter of taste ofc but I like it)
+ Both third person / first person
+ Skyrim enviroments seems to look like.....well:) http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2012/10/Elder-Scrolls-Online-Skyrim-bridge.jpg (love it)
+ Coming to consoles aswell (Let's leave the discussion about it for any other thread outthere shall we?!)
- Locked zones as in not beeing able to go to other factions zones until max lvl
- Player beeing able to be the Emperor of Tamriel while having a stupid name
- No chatbubbles (minor thingy for many but huge for others - should be optional ofc)
? Multiple guild membership (Good or bad, I don't know yet)
? Combat system compared to the singleplayer games - will combat feels good? (Quite important actually but of course things needs to be converted into a multi-version enviroment. I do understand that as a mmo player)

I believe in life before death... So dont forget to enjoy it while you still can.
+ Real time combat system, resource based, so no more watching cooldowns, much more tactical and no bloody rotations
+ Graphics style and scenery, most realistic till today
+ story and lore based content, stories and Voice overs on par with SWTOR, but with choices that really effect the outcome
+ many many open world dungeons for solo, small groups and even for full groups
+ mob ai, much more advanced in combat then any MMO so far
+ The game feels like a virtual world and not like a game
+ Dark and creepy world leaning towards the dark ages, with no guns and other steampunk elements
+ PvP system much like DAoC and resource based
+ Crafting system, finally usefull, as even th best dungeon found gear can be improved.
+ freedom of the skiltree based advancement system.
+ 2/3 th or more of the game is aimed at max level.
+ level progression
? Death pennalty a bit light
? We dont know how challenging the combat is
? we dont know how adventures (up to 24 mn story based raids) will work out.
? They use phasing and instancing to tell stories, thats awesome, but to much will kill the MMO part, lets hope they could ballance things out.
? Megaservers, we dont know how that will play out as this is the first MMO to use that
- Ingame voice chat only available in Console version
- No AA system, i ma just a big fan of this, as it allows you to keep progressing your character.
- No duelling
- 4 man sized groups, should atleast be 5 preferably 6.
Well i am off now, might add more later...

I agree with most of your points, I wish groups were 5, not 4, never been a fan of 4, but it doesn't bother me much. I never was a dueler cuz I suck at it so that doesn't bother me either lol.
I agree the death penalty should be a little tougher.
The most important plus to me is that questing is exploration based rather than hub based. Had it not had this I would be trolling like some of others here lol.
Also, it seems as if they are trying to remember that side things are important, like fishing, and I love the little things like what they are trying to do with horse feeding.
The fact that sources state the world feels alive if that holds out to be true is a huge plus as it was one of the biggest turn offs for me in just about every competitive themepark available to date. I really need to see more evidence of this as it would be a huge plus to me.

"No path is darker then when your eyes are shut." -Flemeth
+ Elder Scrolls Lore and World
+ "beast" races playable not only near humans (shame on you SWTOR!)
+ Three Faction PVP
+ open PVP (I hate arena pvp)
+ realistic top graphics
+ first person playable
+ presumable large world
+ the 3 factions have 3 entirely different areas = 3 times the replay value
- maybe a bit too traditional questing?
- in some parts graphics look a bit too much grey and brown, could be more lush
- sticking to ES lore = confined, can't "make stuff up"
- being in the past of the know world = we know how it ends

I was wildly enthusiastic for the first 6 months after the game was announced.
Then I saw an ongoing series of decisions that have me wondering why.
The 2014 intro certainly dampened my enthusiasm.I don't buy a "spring" intro.
First person...i don't think the resources should have been spent on it. Period.
No arrow crafting , I thought was a step in the wrong direction.
Development for the console market which I feel will dumb down my pc experience and take away dev time from enhancing the pc experience..I didn't like
Unceasing crumb -lets of information we are expected to seize and avidly devour for the next year
Reports from some beta testers that the game "needs a lot of work" has me wondering how the 5+years of dev time have been spent.
Net net.I don't know how far M. Firor will drift from the vision he first detailed.
So...I stopped reading the info from various ESOL websites that are sent to me.
Tired of chasing rainbows.

Has a siege system which is my favorite type of pvp
I get to visit other locales in Tamriel
Multi Guild system could erode certain types of guilds
world is cut up and you can't just head out, go to Morrowind, then cut back to skyrim and then to Elseweyer. You have to go 1-50 then move to another realm and rinse and repeat. You also don't see anyone from other factions except in the center pvp area.
Unclear as to how many open explorable dungeons there will be at launch.

I like the Skyrim aiming system, but I realize this game isn't exactly like that, nor is it like WOW with the way tab targeting is handled in that game. As far as multiguilds or mega servers, I understand the negatives, but for me personally I'm so tired of having politics split my friends a part into multiple guilds and then missing out on the chat in the guilds when I am in a different guild. Now I wont have that problem, so I support it..not to mention the mega server eliminates all those months of "what server will we be on", "how much will it cost to transfer my character", "when will the server merges happen?" lol.
I did like the Role Playing server in Lord of the Rings Online. That server felt more mature :-0.

The Cyrodiil "instances" have the population size of servers in most games, around 2,000, they will have unique names based on towns and places in Cyrodiil and they will be persistent.
You got to get past cliched thinking about instance=bad and megaserver=bad when you think about cyrodiil. The megaserver in this game (which I'm also not a fan of btw, but it's not a big deal) is a PVE only thing, and a persistent "instance" the size of a server is a... ummm... server. Your "living, breathing world" is your Cyrodiil server. PVE is a different story and it's like cross-server (but not cross-faction) grouping for everything--not just instanced dungeons. Persoanlly I wish they'd stuck to servers for that too since PVEing with the same people you PVP with is more fun, IMHO.
Multi guilds? I'm with you. I hate the fluffy "let's have many guild memberships and integrate FB, Google+ and instagram into it." It's just trendy social media integration crap that is not only immersion breaking but a PITA. If I'm in the middle of huge furball fight in Cyrodiil the last thing I want is to be distracted by an IM from a buddy at work telling me the boss sucks.

Is it possible to pvp your way through all of the gosh-awful leveling?
- Fear I will be riding on rails again (lack of freedom)
- Another level system grind (ugh)
- No player housing at launch tells me it will not be a player centered mmo, thus lacking a sandbox element.

Hey Iselin, do you know if you will you be able to swap instances/servers whenever you want?
I think the answer to that might help me make more of a decision on whether the "Mega-server" is a deal breaker or not. I thoroughly enjoy fighting and partying with the same people, knowing who my friends and enemies are, etc. and I absolutely hated how names and guilds (and chat) were removed in GW2.
There's just an entire dynamic that seems to be missing when you make your enemies nameless faceless creatures. Or maybe it's just me.
Regarding the multi-guilds, a "friend's circle" type thing (with associated chat) is actually a really good idea, I just don't know why they need to muddy up the waters with actual guild membership.

From the sounds of it, leaving one campaign and going to another one will be a big deal--sort of like how swapping servers is in WOW or other games like that. It`ll cost you something...what or how much I don`t know.
All the members of a guild are in the same campaign and you`ll get to know your enemy guilds and individuals really well I think: it`s 3 alliances with 700 or so players per alliance. The number is large but small enough for you to develop some nice healthy individual hates.
