Seminar rooms at Lamont has been broken into three sections— the first is department accessed rooms, the second is the Monell Auditorium because of the complexity of the space and its audio/visual support system; the third section is public access seminar rooms available on the Lamont campus.
Most seminar rooms have a specific set up, i.e., seminar style. If you wish to have a different style or additional set up done, you need to contact Patricia Temple (Ext. 8842 or firstname.lastname@example.com). If you make changes to the room yourself, but do not have the opportunity to set it back the way you found it, please let either Pat or Tom Eberhard ext 8865 know that you have changed the set up and left it.
Please remember that many of these rooms sit in the middle of office space. Noise level should be kept to an acceptable level especially when using public areas for breaks. When having non-Lamont guests attend a meeting in the Monell auditorium, ask them not to go into either of the office corridors since this is disturbing to people working in these areas.

Newsday Quotes Management Professor Merideth Ferguson
Merideth Ferguson, recently quoted in Newsday, has done research on incivility in the workplace.
Merideth Ferguson, assistant professor of management at the Huntsman School of Business, was recently quoted in a story in Newsday.
The article focuses on the negative effects of workplace incivility and rudeness, which is an area of research expertise for Dr. Ferguson.
The column titled "Workplace rudeness can be bad for business," states that 98% of Americans have been acquainted with workplace incivility and that these types of rude interactions can lead to profit losses, low morale, and a decrease in productivity.
One area of Dr. Ferguson's research specializes in bad employee behavior. She is particularly interested in how abusive supervision and workplace incivility cross over to affect an employee's family experiences.
Dr. Ferguson states in the article that incivility in the workplace is more subtle than bullying and it is often unclear whether rudeness is intentional or not. The best way to eliminate this bad behavior is to stop hiring people likely to participate in it, and she suggests organizations use personality testing in their selection processes.

|Professional Development
Back to Teaching Quality main page.
Professional development generally refers to the acquisition or updating of knowledge and skills required for maintaining a particular career path and growing as a professional in a particular field. As various professions attempt to adapt to global changes, professional development is used to help employees stay on top of innovations in technology and best practices in their fields. In education, professional development is an essential component for teachers to remain relevant and effective. Teachers need to recognize the diverse student population and be able to effectively address their various and special needs. Professional development can bring the benefits of integrating advancements in research concerning how people learn and new subject-area knowledge to a teacher's instruction in the classroom. In addition, professional development is an ever increasing component of enabling teachers and staff to advance in status or rank.
Education policymakers and school leaders incorporate professional development in various capacities to improve the quality of teaching and the level of student learning in schools:

To reduce dimmy comments! Figuring that dimmies are much like noobs, I think that tieing this to the post button: clockwork's noobmeter We could reduce posts that are dimmieish. Here's how it would work: every time someone hit the "post" button, the server would enter the post into the noob-meter. then every post must be "1% non-noob" or better to be posted in the correct area. If it was "neutral" or less, then it would go into a "stupid posts" tab, then, in that place, it would go into a random topic; forming randomly conglomerated topics, which would probably be hilarious to read.
according to clockwork; This was a 100% non-noob post. Thank you for reading

Well its a factor but obviously there was a point in time when a line-up of Watson-Curry-Monta-Maggs-Morrow on the court, while AR, Moore, and Hunter where on the bench, lets not forget those moments.
Now of course Nellie can use the injury excuse, he has a pass NOW, no AR, no Turiaf, etc etc, call another D-Leaguer up. I was worried about a mediocre draft position since the idea was warriors were going to be winning a little here and there, well scratch all of that, warriors are headed for huge slide, top 3 pick here we come.

Nah, I was yelling about the same thing. Funny how the guys calling the game didn't say a word about it. I really think that the NBA is leaning on everybody to push the LeBron hype. I mean, I swear half the time they were talking about how great James is, and the other half sort of off hand mentioning what was going on about the Warriors. They barely mentioned the obvious fouls Bron Bron committed throughout the game, and failed to even mention that goal tend. Pair that with the preferential treatment that James gets from the refs and he must live quite the charmed life out on the court.
It's things like that which make the NBA a hard sport to watch sometimes. If you aren't one of the best you are consistently getting shat on.

Yeah, that would be AWESOME! Would be so much fun to take my son to a game and teach him about the game and watch him experience the magic of hanging with Dad at a ballgame while dudes are flinging curse words around and people getting their face bashed in. GOOD TIMES!
For the life of me I can not understand why people get SO offended because someone is a fan of the opposing team or star player.
People DO like teams other than the warriors. Best thing is to kick the crap out of their team on the court and let them silently walk out of the stadium with their tails between their legs. Unfortunately most of the time, they get the last laugh which BLOWS!

Tonight presents an opportunity for many drivers at Can-Am Motorsports Park to impact the rest of their season.
Every division will feature double points in tonights races, which presents both opportunity and risk for the drivers.
Some people like it, lot of people dont like it, but its interesting for the fans and thats why we do it, said Chip Burdick, the tracks general manager.
Racing begins at 7:30 tonight and the features will include a 25-lap sportsman modified race as well as pro late models, pro street stocks, thunder cars, thunder stocks and novice sportsman.
All of the point races at Can-Am are close this season, with the largest gap being an 18-point lead for David Rogers over Sid Harmer Jr. in the pro street stock division.
First place normally is worth 60 points, but tonight it will be worth 120.
And if a driver has an unexpected mechanical problem, or gets involved in an early crash, they will lose out on a chance to earn a lot of points.
A bad night could have impact for the rest of the year, Burdick said. It changes everything, but thats whats pretty neat about it.
One of the tracks closest first-place fights is in the sportsman division, with Brandon Hagan just two points ahead of Taylor Caprara (372-370). The next closest driver is Josh Van Brocklin, with 308 points.
Charlie Sandercock leads the late-model division with 366 points, followed by A.J. Kingsley and Brandon Kidd, who each have 352.
Ray Belcher holds a 276-268 lead over Matt Zira in the thunder car division.
Because of the double points to be awarded, Burdick said that drivers who have enough money to own two cars will usually bring both to the track in case they have problems during the qualifying heats.
If they change cars, they would have to start in back for the feature.
If rain disrupts tonights event than there will not be another chance for the drivers to earn double points for just one feature.
We just go on to the next race, Burdick said. We have sponsors every night and with rainouts we have to reschedule the sponsors. We cant afford many rainouts. Hopefully it just rains in the morning and we can race at night.
The World of Outlaws Late Model series competed in Cornwall, Ontario, on Sunday, and Darrell Lanigan claimed the win in the feature.
Watertown resident Tim Fuller finished in ninth place, and Watertowns Tim McCreadie finished 21st.
Both local drivers are in the top 10 in the season standings.
Fuller is fifth with 2,860 points and McCreadie is sixth with 2,838. The leader is Josh Richards with 3,090 points.
McCreadie has three wins this season while Fuller is still looking for his first. Both have 12 finishes in the top 10.

The items were seized following two days of coordinated raids in the City of Buffalo.
This video of the raids was given to us by the city.

The game was delayed approximately 30 minutes and then played on a dim court with only one scoreboard after a squirrel knocked out power at a local substation. The limited lighting was provided by the Arena's emergency power generator.
Once the game got underway Lipscomb had little trouble setting into a groove. Bronson scored six of Lipscomb's first 11 points as the Lady Bisons held an 11-3 lead going into the first media break.
Bronson started a 17-2 run for Lipscomb when she connected on a 3-pointer at the 10:19 mark. Brittany Duerk scored seven straight points to put the Lady Bisons up 35-15 with 6:20 remaining in the first half.
Lipscomb expanded its lead to 47-22 with 2:46 left in the half on two free throws by Kaitie Fritts. Harding went on a 9-0 run to close the gap to 16 points at the break.
Harding was not ready to give up and continued its run to start the second half. Harding's Elizabeth Nagel connected on a 3-pointer with 16:37 left to make it a 54-44 game. A three by Harding's Stacey Owens put Harding down only five points, 63-58, with 13:42 remaining.
"I think when we got a big lead in the first half we let down on the defensive end a little bit," said Lipscomb head coach Frank Bennett. "Our defensive intensity in the second half was not what it needed to be. They scored 46 points and had their way a lot of possessions."
A 3-pointer by Burroughs with 12:05 left helped to ice Harding's run and start to swing the momentum back in Lipscomb's favor.
"I like the fact that we met the challenges," said Bennett. "They made some runs at us and got the game down to five points and we made stops and made big baskets when we had to have them to stop the runs."
Burroughs led the Lady Bisons from beyond the arc. She was 7-of-12 from the 3-point line scoring all of her points from downtown. As a team the Lady Bisons were 12-of-19 from the 3-point line for 41.4 percent.
"Chelsea has been practicing great and has had a great fall," said Bennett. "She is really good at running the lanes so we can get the ball ahead to her. If you don't get out on her she nails that three. And having to guard her opens other opportunities up."
Bronson scored her 20 points shooting 8-of-13 from the field and hitting two-of-four 3-pointers. She also grabbed five rebounds.
"Val didn't finish last season very strong but she has also had a great fall," said Bennett. "She has been going to the basket strong and is a big driving threat."
Jenna Bartsokas played well at the guard position. She had eight assists to only one turnover. She also had four rebounds and a steal. Bartsokas was 9-of-10 from the free throw line and finished with 11 points.
"Jenna is just solid at the guard position on both ends of the floor," said Bennett. "I think she is playing very well. She ran the team well."
Duerk had a team-high nine rebounds. She posted 12 points and had two assists and two steals.
Lipscomb finished the game 26-of-60 from the field for 43.3 percent. Harding was 25-of-57 for 43.9 percent.
Lipscomb was 26-of-37 from the free throw line for 70.3 percent and Harding was 20-of-26 for 76.9 percent.
Harding's Danielle Reiher had a team-high 14 points. Bailey St. Clair and Owens each added 10 points for Harding.
Harding held a 39-37 advantage on the boards. Lipscomb outrebounded Harding 17-13 on the offensive end, but Harding posted 17 second chance points to Lipscomb's nine.
The Lady Bisons play their final exhibition Tuesday night against Freed-Hardeman. Game time is 7 p.m. in Allen Arena. Tickets are $7 and are available at the door.

The searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.
The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
About the Author
1. Cormac McCarthy has an unmistakable prose style. What do you see as the most distinctive features of that style? How is the writing in The Road in some ways more like poetry than narrative prose?
2. Why do you think McCarthy has chosen not to give his characters names? How do the generic labels of "the man" and "the boy" affect the way in which readers relate to them?
3. How is McCarthy able to make the postapocalyptic world of The Road seem so real and utterly terrifying? Which descriptive passages are especially vivid and visceral in their depiction of this blasted landscape? What do you find to be the most horrifying features of this world and the survivors who inhabit it?
4. McCarthy doesn't make explicit what kind of catastrophe has ruined the earth and destroyed human civilization, but what might be suggested by the many descriptions of a scorched landscape covered in ash? What is implied by the father's statement that "On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world" [p. 32]?
5. As the father is dying, he tells his son he must go on in order to "carry the fire." When the boy asks if the fire is real, the father says, "It's inside you. It was always there. I can see it" [p. 279]. What is this fire? Why is it so crucial that they not let it die?
6. McCarthy envisions a postapocalyptic world in which "murder was everywhere upon the land" and the earth would soon be "largely populated by men who would eat your children in front of your eyes" [p. 181]. How difficult or easy is it to imagine McCarthy's nightmare vision actually happening? Do you think people would likely behave as they do in the novel, under the same circumstances? Does it now seem that human civilization is headed toward such an end?
7. The man and the boy think of themselves as the "good guys." In what ways are they like and unlike the "bad guys" they encounter? What do you think McCarthy is suggesting in the scenes in which the boy begs his father to be merciful to the strangers they encounter on the road? How is the boy able to retain his compassion—to be, as one reviewer put it, "compassion incarnate"?
8. The sardonic blind man named Ely who the man and boy encounter on the road tells the father that "There is no God and we are his prophets" [p. 170]. What does he mean by this? Why does the father say about his son, later in the same conversation, "What if I said that he's a god?" [p. 172] Are we meant to see the son as a savior?
9. The Road takes the form of a classic journey story, a form that dates back to Homer's Odyssey. To what destination are the man and the boy journeying? In what sense are they "pilgrims"? What, if any, is the symbolic significance of their journey?
10. McCarthy's work often dramatizes the opposition between good and evil, with evil sometimes emerging triumphant. What does The Road ultimately suggest about good and evil? Which force seems to have greater power in the novel?
11. What makes the relationship between the boy and his father so powerful and poignant? What do they feel for each other? How do they maintain their affection for and faith in each other in such brutal conditions?
12. Why do you think McCarthy ends the novel with the image of trout in mountain streams before the end of the world: "In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery" [p. 287]. What is surprising about this ending? Does it provide closure, or does it prompt a rethinking of all that has come before? What does it suggest about what lies ahead?

gnom & ecolanguage update
two interesting data visualization projects that were blogged before have been updated recently: the gnom gene visualization now includes two impressive interactive prototypes that allow users to actively explore & browse through different gene functional relationships & structural descriptions, in 2D as well as in 3D.
similarly, ecolanguage now has been broadened to 7 different animated infographics (or so-called 'symbols-in-motion') that visually explain a wide range of complex subjects, such as macro-economics, elementary nature studies & 'the Bush tax cuts'. [moebio.com & ecolanguage.net]
Cut-up.media.magazine: special issue on the art and politics of netporn
Marjan van Mourik: In cooperation with the Institute of Network Cultures, Cut-up.media.magazine (http://www.cut-up.com) has produced a special issue on the art and politics of netporn. Although a growing number of theoretical and historical porn studies have appeared over the last decades, few have focused on the analysis of netporn as complex networks and its embedment within digital media environments. By publishing five new articles based on original research online and freely accessible to all, we hope to contribute to a climate of critical research surrounding the topic of netporn.
The five new articles are: - Nishant Shah, "Playblog: Pornography, Performance, and Cyberspace"
- Manuel Bonik and Andreas Schaale, "The Naked Truth: Internet-Eroticism
and The Search"
- Bert de Muynck, "The Art of Adult Architecture or the Politics of
Pornographic Planning"
- Tim Noonan, "Netporn and the Politics of Disability: A Catalyst for
Access, Inclusion and Acceptance"
- Mireille Miller-Young, "'Because I'm Sexy and Smart!': Black Web
Mistresses Hack Cyberporn"

"Poor Duke - he can't shoot his way out of this one."
Kevin Hamilton:
This morning, as I sat by the open window at my laptop, engrossed in a departmental email, one of my senses - sight, smell, hearing? - pricked, and I looked to the immediate right of my lap to see a large and twittery squirrel, on the sill of our screenless window. I jumped and yelled HEY, causing the contents of my coffee cup to go shooting up and over everything in sight - powerbook, papers, window. During the requisite freakout-session of careful cleaning of my laptop to keep coffee from getting inside the thing, I noticed a nut the squirrel had left behind, on the sill - he was looking for a place to stow it, I suppose.
Of course last weekend's challenging and enlightening New Forms Festival in Vancouver came to mind, where the 2005 theme was "Ecosystems." Biological metaphors are nothing new to this community or to some of the more theoretically(academically?)-minded in new media. But Niranjan Rajah and the other conference organizers put together a collection of presenters and panels that gave the subject a deep, difficult examination, unlike any I have experienced...

ORLEANS–The Lady Rangers did not finnish up the regular season they way they wanted to, as they fell to Winooski 56-45.
The game was seen as a test for Lake Region as they prepare to head into the play-offs without a few crucial members of their squad.
"That game was one we really wanted to win for seeding purposes," said assistant coach Joe Houston. "It wasn't a one-and-done situation, but it was sort of like that atmosphere, and we did not handle it the way we wanted to in terms of coming out and staying composed.
"They got a couple of easy baskets and we kind of fell apart in the first half."
Lake Region finishes the season at 16-4, securing the fourth seed and a likely home-court match with 7-13 Mill River when play-offs begin this week.
14-6 Winooski will be the five seed in D III.
Looking towards the play-offs, Houston talked about what they are going to have to do in order to find success in the second season.
"It is going to have to be a team effort. We had Allie Hall doing some stuff for us, Michelle Thibeault made some key baskets, but when we make our run, we are going to have to have all of our girls step up and just do a little more," he said.

5 U.S. Code § 6307 - Sick leave; accrual and accumulation
(a) An employee is entitled to sick leave with pay which accrues on the basis of one-half day for each full biweekly pay period, except that sick leave with pay accrues to a member of the Firefighting Division of the Fire Department of the District of Columbia on the basis of two-fifths of a day for each full biweekly pay period.

(2) Subject to paragraph (3) and in addition to any other allowable purpose, sick leave may be used by an employee—

During a speech at the National Press Club on Wednesday, April 17, the White House drug czar, Gil Kerlikowske, announced that the Obama administration would adopt a zero tolerance policy when it comes to enforcing federal drug laws.
At the luncheon, Kerlikowske said that the U.S. Department of Justice will retain jurisdiction over the enforcement of existing federal statutes criminalizing the use of controlled substances, including marijuana. Any state laws to the contrary, he said, are of no legal effect.
"No state, no executive can nullify a statute that has been passed by Congress," the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy told the National Press Club audience.
"Let's be clear," he continued, "law enforcement officers take an oath of office to uphold federal law and they are going to continue to pursue drug traffickers and drug dealers."
Simply put, nullification is the recognition of the right of states to consider null, void, and of no legal effect any act of the federal government that exceeds the "few and defined" powers granted to it by the states in the Constitution.
The president's hard line stance sets up a continuing conflict with a number of states where voters and lawmakers have approved the legalization of marijuana for personal use.
As The New American reported last November:
Colorado and Washington became the first two states to nullify unconstitutional federal drug statutes by legalizing marijuana for recreational use, with voters backing Amendment 64 and Initiative 502 — but rejecting a similar proposal in Oregon. The two victories for legalization advocates, however, have set the stage for a potential showdown with the Obama administration of historic importance.
Kerlikowske's statements on Wednesday demonstrate that the showdown is approaching.
Particularly as other states are considering similar decriminalization of the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Courtney Hunt
Triad and Tumult
October 22, 2008
Ballast (Alluvial Film Company) Elite Squad (IFC Films) Still another extraordinary new American director comes along--the third in just a few months. After Courtney Hunt with Frozen River and Chris Eska with Autumn Evening, here is Lance Hammer with Ballast. Though these three directors have little in common stylistically, all three of their films deal with working-class people. Hammer's film, which he also wrote and edited, is his first feature. Set in the Mississippi Delta, its three principal characters are black, yet the first person we see is white.

Bordeaux blazer
Color not as pretty as the picture. It is a dull rusty color. The fit is ok.
New York
I ordered the Lapis Blue blazer, and although I loved the color, I was disappointed in the sizing & fit. My measurements aligned with a size 10 on the Chadwick's chart. So I ordered a 10 Regular (my usual size), but it was too tight around the waist. Also, the length of the blazer was MUCH shorter than shown in the photo. I am 5' 6 1/2", and I never wear a Tall. In addition, the pocket flaps are at elbow-height, which appears a bit odd. So disappointing, as I do love the color. I wish it worked, but I will be returning it.
Pittsburgh, PA
Emerald Green Crepe Blazer
I love this blazer. I needed something really nice for an evening wedding and I really wanted the Lapis Blue but I since the blue one wasn't in stock I ordered the Emerald Green and it is absolutely beautiful. We had pictures made while at the reception and the picture is my favorite and it's all because of the Emerald Green dress and matching jacket. You won't be disappointed if you order this.

Naperville, IL -- The Beloit College Softball team ran into a very hot team on Thursday at North Central College, falling to the undefeated Cardinals 6-0 and 12-1. The games were originally scheduled to be played in Beloit but were moved to Naperville due to unplayable field conditions.
In game one NCC jumped on top for good in the first inning with a run on three hits. They added two runs in the fourth, an unearned tally in the sixth and two more scores in the seventh. The Bucs had two hits in the game. Kandace Fox singled in the second and Bethany Stavrakas scratched out a hit in the third.
In the nightcap, North Central again jumped on top in the first. Beloit tied it up in the bottom of the inning with an unearned run. After Stavrakas walked she advanced to second and then third on illegal pitches before scoring on an error. But the Cardinals scored three times in the second to take control and then added six runs in the fourth, four of them unearned, and two more in the fifth, one of them unearned, to end the contest early. Megan Salm had the Buccaneers' lone hit in the game with a lead-off single up the middle in the second inning.
Beloit returns to action on Saturday for their several-times-delayed home opener, playing a non-conference doubleheader against Cornell College at the Strong Complex Softball Field. First pitch is at 12:00 p.m. for Friends & Family Day at the ballpark.

Picture: Henrik Lundqvist's Mask If He Plays For Frolunda
Although I know this website/blog pretty well, I usually can not find things I posted earlier. So if this is a repeat from yesterday, sorry. Yesterday morning I was in the car and heard Robert Kraft interviewed. I wondered how long it would take for him to go after the NY jets fans and it was not long, like the first words out of his mouth. It took me back to the days when Leon was the owner and he (Kraft) seemingly enjoyed sticking it to his division rivals. At that time I had great disdain for him. Now, I wish he was my owner. Back then he took basically the jets front office and built an empire. Yesterday he was talking about belichecks first two seasons, 5-11 and 1-3 (first 4 games). He said he learned not to get too up or down. He did impart on me with out saying so he let the people he hired do their respective jobs. He will no doubt be remembered for his role in the Patriots great run. I now have great respect for him. I even can say I like him. I wish Woody would learn to be a winner too. but like the line in my fave movie "the departed" if he coulda, he woulda". I am not sure what is next. I will probably watch but its not like I expect them to go on a 8-0 run to finish 8-8. More likly I see 1-15. I also see woody bringing back the whole mess. YUCK.
Pretty soon they will only be televised in Queens and Brooklyn.
@andrgreen Kraft didn't seem so smart when Bledsoe was his QB. Everyone looks like a genius when your 6th round pick turns into Tom Brady.

As the Obama administration spends tens of millions in taxpayer money on unconstitutional "public relations" contracts promoting its "ObamaCare" takeover of U.S. health care, lawmakers have been unsuccessfully demanding answers for months. If documents are not handed over soon, however, Congress may have to issue subpoenas.
Lawmakers first tried to get answers about the controversial schemes — critics say PR is just a nice term for propaganda gimmicks — back in May, sending a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The deadline to hand over information, June 1, came and went. The department never responded.
A follow up letter was sent to Sebelius on August 1, and again, HHS never turned over the material. Instead, it continually promised that the documents would be produced soon. They never were. Now, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich., left of House seal, in photo) and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany (R-La., right of House seal, in photo) appear to be running out of patience.
"The department's failure to provide a single responsive document to the Committee's reasonable requests leaves only two possibilities: either the department is unable to keep track of the work products it buys with taxpayer dollars or the department is trying to delay any response until after this year's election," the two Republicans wrote in a letter to Sebelius last week. "Neither explanation is acceptable."
Lawmakers concluded by telling Sebelius that if the request is not fulfilled by October 31, the committee would be forced to "consider issuing a subpoena" to compel HHS to provide answers. "This is not an action the Committee takes lightly, but it is one that appears required in light of your Department's refusal to be transparent in its expenditure of taxpayer dollars," they wrote.

STILLWATER — Marcus Smart has witnessed a lot in his 18 years.
Witnessed too much.
"I saw my friends doing all kinds of drugs. Snorting. Smoking. I didn't even know what it was," Smart said. "Psycho-type stuff.
STILLWATER — Marcus Smart has witnessed a lot in his 18 years.
Witnessed too much.
"I saw my friends doing all kinds of drugs. Snorting. Smoking. I didn't even know what it was," Smart said. "Psycho-type stuff.
"I've seen people get jumped and beaten… shot.
"I've seen police chases every day.
"I've seen gang members drive through apartments, while little kids are in the street; don't give a care; little kids getting hit by cars.
"I saw my brother sell (drugs) to one of my friends."
Then but a child on the battleground south side of Dallas, Smart also saw a beloved older brother die from cancer and saw his own future teetering; tilting at various moments between staying good or going bad, with one decision – conscious or unconscious – or maybe a misguided bullet perhaps all that stood as the tipping point.
That's when Camellia Smart flipped the scales.
Fed up and in growing fear of an increasingly dangerous neighborhood, Camellia, Marcus' mother, packed up the house for an escape.
It was bold and not without consequences, and only to the opposite outskirts of Dallas, the northwest suburb of Flower Mound.
Yet it might as well have been worlds away.
"The move was 100 percent," Camellia said. "I saw gun shots, drugs, all the stuff that was coming in. I knew it was time to go. We couldn't stay there.
"You'd hear gunshots all through the night. You'd be in the bed asleep – gunshots. And a bullet doesn't have a name. A stray bullet does not have a name.
"I just didn't want him growing up around that."
The rest of the story, the Marcus Smart success story, continues to play out on a stage that extends nationally.
Impact freshman at Oklahoma State. Physical, emotional and floor leader of the No. 17-ranked team in the country. Taking his Cowboys into a big Bedlam showdown on Saturday, with a six-game winning streak and a share of the Big 12 lead on the line.
It's a good story, made possible by Camellia Smart, the 58-year-old rock of the family.
"I thank God every day for giving my mom the strength and the confidence to move us," Marcus said. "To just drop everything – that's where all my family was – to go to this place where we had no idea who anybody was or what to expect… she took a chance.
"That was a great chance she took."
Lancaster, Texas, a city of 36,000-plus sits on the south side of Dallas County, near Cedar Hill and DeSoto and Duncanville.
Founded in 1852, the city was home to a Colt gun factory during the Civil War. And in 1934, Bonnie and Clyde robbed the R.P. Henry & Sons Bank, walking out with more than $4,000.
Things have gotten worse.
Way worse.
"You have bad parts, but you also have some good parts," Marcus said. "You definitely have spots where it's just horrible out there. And those spots you don't want to be at."
Spots where gangs and guns and Godlessness rules. Where lives are taken or tormented long-term.
Marcus saw it with his older brother Michael, who at 19 was sucked into all the trappings of the worst part of that neighborhood. Drugs, guns, prostitution – Michael got involved in it all, including the Bloods street gang.
"He fell victim to that," Marcus said. "He'll tell you that he did some things that he regrets and wishes his life was different. He definitely ruined his life, not fully, but the best years of his life are gone, because of that life that he chose. He still feels it to this day."
Only 10 at the time, Marcus looked out for his brother. Pleaded with his brother.
Also, as he got older, Marcus grew to understand his brother's plight.
"It's hard for teenage kids to have that maturity and step out and say, 'I want to be different. I don't want to do what everybody else is doing,'" Marcus said. "Especially growing up in that kind of neighborhood, where if you don't, you're looked upon as weak or not a real friend.
"You want to be strong. You want to make something of your life. But it's hard for most teenagers to do, to make that evaluation and jump to being mature enough to say, 'I'm not going to make that mistake. I'm going to be a leader. I'm not going to do what y'all are doing, I want you to do what I'm doing.'"
Marcus saw those same harsh elements around him, too.
Even at that young age, kids were falling into trouble, forming their own "little" gangs, sort of mirroring the older groups.
"They're going around throwing up gang signs, it's crazy," Marcus said. "It's kind of weird, and it was very exasperating for me, because they were my friends, but I'm trying to embellish my life in a way that it is better than all of this."
All that muck tugged at Marcus, too, testing his will and creating an inner rage that tore at him from deep inside.
He said that he could feel himself changing, becoming a bully even, getting into fights and other physical confrontations that unleashed his anger.
In a recent USA Today story, Marcus told of a time he and a friend threw rocks at a passerby on a bike, not knowing the subject was a member of the Bloods gang. Struck by a rock and falling from the bike, the man gave chase to the fleeing boys.
Soon, shots rang out and bullets buzzed all around.
Marcus said it was like that early scene in Saving Private Ryan, when the troops are being fired on while storming the beach at Normandy, except in real life.
"I definitely heard them whistling," he said. "That sound, and when a gun fires how loud that is, it was a big shock to me. My heart felt like it was about to explode from my chest, literally running for my life.
"It's a terrifying scene to even imagine. But to be there, it's even more terrifying."
Eluding the man on the wild chase that ensued, finally making it home, safely, Marcus said he reassessed where he was in his life.

Equality Act compliance
How the Equality Act impacts professionals, businesses, organisations and service providers for blind and partially sighted people.
About the Equality Act
The Equality Act has strengthened and extended the way people protected against discrimination are safeguarded.
The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. It sets out the different ways in which it's unlawful to treat someone and makes it clear what you need to do to make your business or organisation's services comply with the law.
How the Equality Act affects your organisation
Under the Act, you have a duty to make reasonable adjustments (or changes) to avoid putting people with disabilities at a substantial disadvantage compared to those who are not disabled. The duty deals with three different requirements.
- Provisions, criteria or practices - including company policies.
- Physical features, such as the layout of and access to shops.
- Provision of auxiliary aids - including providing information in an accessible format such as braille, large print or email.
The duty is anticipatory, which means you cannot wait until a disabled person wants to use your services, but must think in advance (and on an ongoing basis) about what disabled people with a range of impairments might reasonably need; such as people who are blind or partially sighted.
Examples of reasonable adjustments
The following are examples of reasonable adjustments under the three different requirements of the duty.
Example of a reasonable adjustment under the Provisions, criteria or practices requirement:
- A train operator introduces disability awareness training that includes information about how to interact with blind or partially sighted customers. This is because they received feedback that station staff did not seem to know how to help a blind or partially sighted customer.
Example of a reasonable adjustment under the Physical features requirement:
- A small shop paints its door frame in a contrasting colour to assist blind or partially sighted customers.
Example of a reasonable adjustment under the Provision of auxiliary aids requirement:
- A bank provides monthly statements in audio or braille formats for blind or partially sighted customers.
Further information and support
RNIB offer a range of solutions that can be used by your organisation to help you make sure your products and services meet the requirements of the Equality Act. However, there are a number of specialist organisations that can help you further with understanding and complying with the Equality Act.
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS)
ACAS aims to improve organisations and working life through better employment relations. Visit ACAS' Equality Act section for more in-depth information about the Equality Act.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)
EHRC has a statutory remit to promote and monitor human rights; and to protect, enforce and promote equality across the seven "protected" grounds - age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation and gender reassignment. Read EHCR's information about the Equality Act.
The Government Equalities Office (GEO)
GEO provides a series of "Quick Start" guides to help you understand the implications of the Equality Act on your business or organisation.

myShipAct 48/Act 45 PILFERPA - Privacy ActDegree VerificationEmail UpdateMilitary Call-UpTranscriptsRelease of Student InformationFinal Exam ScheduleGraduation ProcessEnrollment Verification
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. There have been numerous suits and issues raised on the question of students' records and privacy in the past year, so I wanted to provide some guidelines.
As faculty, you have the educational right to view and access student information (academic history, grades, transfer records and advising notes). This access comes with responsibilities to protect those students' records and information.
Shippensburg University does not make directory information generally available to the public. Shippensburg University limits its release of directory information for official University purposes, e.g., (1) identifying athletic team members; (2) publishing names of scholarship recipients, graduation lists and Dean's Lists; (3) issuing academic awards; (4) verifying enrollment or degree status; and (5) providing such information to organizations that are officially affiliated with the University or with whom the University has a contractual relationship. See 34 C.F.R §99.37(d). The word "Confidential" appears on many screens within Banner and is used to identify students who have requested that their directory information is not to be released. Directory information includes name, home/local addresses and phone numbers, e-mail address, enrollment status, major, degree and honors. Any information other than directory information cannot be released to anyone.
As instructors, you have access to students' grades. Grades are private information and only the student is able to view this information. This includes parents and spouses. It is Shippensburg's policy that we do not discuss a student's record with anyone over the phone. If a parent wants information concerning a student, they must first prove they claimed the student on their income taxes and then the request must be in writing and your response should be in writing. The student must give written permission to allow you to share grades with anyone who is not part of the student's educational interest.
Social Security numbers are private information. You may not use this number or a portion of this number to post grades in public view. Graded papers should be given to students in class or left with staff to keep in the building office for pick up. Leaving papers outside your office for students to go through is not protecting our students' privacy.
As advisors, you have access to student's transcripts and transfer evaluations. These are to be kept private as well. Whether the files are in your administrative office or your own private office, please keep these files from view when you aren't working with the student.
If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar's Office for clarification.

It is easy to see why Microsoft would like to put an end to the sale of Motorola Android devices. They racially opened a case in front of the United States international Trade Commission on Monday, asking that they block Motorola mobility from selling a number of different devices including the Droid 2, unlocked Motorola Droid X and CliqXT. The company said that they were looking to protect the property that they have, and as a result we're going to have to ask them not to sell these phones. When the company was purchased by Google earlier in the month, a lot of heads were turned in the process. It is definitely something that has changed the shape of the mobile industry in less than a few weeks and is going to continue to affect the quite some time to come.
A spokesman for the company said that the Motorola mobility is looking to vigorously defend itself against a strategy that Microsoft has employed that they claim is more in the interests of patent blocking than anything else. Many also claimed that Google purchased the company in order to garner a number of patents, and were not all that interested in the company on its own.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out, as this move could drastically affect both companies moving into the future. If they win the case and allow them to not have to sell their Android devices such as Motorola XT860 unlocked, Xoom Tablet, etc., it could be a huge step in the wrong direction for Google Earth this would also be a huge step in the right direction for Microsoft. To say the least, the companies coming into this fight could tie them up for quite some time. Do not expect a quick decision on the subject.
