|Top 10 Reasons Why We Love It Here (& Why You Will Too):
|Easy Access
Everything is quick and easy to get to here, which is important for multi-tasking San Joseans who do just about everything with an iPhone or Blackberry in one hand while getting around. The airport is just five minutes from downtown, and since everything downtown is within walking distance – from hotels and meeting facilities to hip culture, restaurants and nightclubs, you can get to your destination fast and text or email to your heart's content. Or if you like to go off the grid on vacay, you'll be able to stop and smell the roses and other flowers that grow all about downtown in our parks and streets.
San Jose's art scene is one part passion and two parts innovation. Our biannual ZeroOne festival is causing a stir in art circles, with its unique convergence of art and technology. Downtown is laid out like a cultural campus, with performing arts and edgy museums within a short stroll. And who needs SoHo when you've got SoFA? San Jose's South of First Avenue is packed with cutting edge galleries and nightclubs.
|User-Friendly Wine Country
We know, we know. Napa this and Napa that. But honestly, are you a slave to branding? We're not that far from Napa, but just minutes from downtown San Jose is the Santa Cruz Mountain wine country, recently noted by Wine Spectator as "the most underappreciated appellation in the world." If you love overpriced tastings, mind-numbing traffic and pretentious growers, by all means, go to Napa. But if you want great wines, knowledgeable vintners, friendly and accessible tasting rooms, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara wineries are the way to go.
|Sports & Recreation
If you like to go a little tribal, San Jose is a fierce sports town with plenty of recreational and spectator sports to root for. Perhaps our most passionate fans are the Sharks, who paint themselves teal and blue and intimidate the heck out of teams who dare challenge them in the HP Pavilion's Shark Tank. San Jose is made for outdoor action, including 150 parks and gardens for strolling or running, cool mountain roads perfect for biking and 15 local and championship golf courses great for relaxing or closing the deal.
|Shopping – a Competitive Sport Here!
Shopping is another competitive sport in San Jose, and no place in the Bay area has more diverse offerings. Whether you want the trendiest gear from Santana Row, fresh finds at urban farmer's markets or amazing steals at our nearby outlets and flea markets, you can do as much or as little damage to your card as you like.
|Dining Out – Calling all Foodies!
San Joseans work hard, but they enjoy the California lifestyle, which includes great food and wine, much of it locally sourced. From great ethnic joints to celebrity chefs, San Jose offers many surprises for the palate.
|Attractions – Weird & Wonderful!
You won't find the usual suspects of syrupy sweet theme parks which treat you like an ATM machine here. But we do have lots of fun, action and value-packed parks nearby such as Great Adventure, Raging Waters and Gilroy Gardens. And we've got other family friendly gems such as the Tech Museum of Innovation. And no one else has the seriously weird and cool Winchester Mystery House or the unusual Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium do they? So if you want to get down with your inner child, we've got you covered; in fact, San Jose was ranked as one of the top three places to grow up in America (U.S. News & World Report – August 2009)
|We're Safe and Clean
Okay we're gonna go there. Unlike most big cities, we're safe and clean. Yep, walking after dark won't feel like a paramilitary operation. And you won't need a facial from dirt and grit – although we have plenty of spas if you want a facial anyway. You also don't need to schlep a car downtown, since everything from the convention center, to hotels, restaurants, clubs, museums and galleries are within walking distance.
|Gateway to Monterey and San Francisco Bay Areas – We're at the Center of it All!
If you must see San Francisco and Monterey, don't worry. We're smack in the middle, so we're a great starting point to the best of the Bay areas. If you're dying to see the beach, we're only a half hour's drive from Santa Cruz. Yeah, the beaches are pretty, and the surfing is awesome, but have you tried swimming in the Pacific? Not for the faint of heart, but we know you have to see it while you're here.

Rangers @ Blues
Scottrade Center, 8:00 p.m., Saturday
Rangers @ Blues
Scottrade Center, 8:00 p.m., Saturday
Rangers record: 23-15-3 (Note: Stats exclude the game against Dallas tonight. The preview for the Stars game can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/23dl58b)
Blues record: 20-13-6
Just past the midway point of the season, the Rangers will head to St. Louis after tonight's game in Dallas to take on the St. Louis Blues. The Rangers will barely have time to roll out of bed tomorrow morning before making the trip for the second game of their two-day road trip.
The Blues currently sit at seventh in the Western Conference, which is identical to the Rangers in the East. St. Louis entered the New Year with a five-game winning streak, but followed up these important wins with a loss to the Dallas Stars and an overtime loss to the Leafs on Thursday night. Jaroslav Halak was replaced in net by Ty Conklin for the second time this season after giving up four goals on nineteen shots. Reminiscent of the gold medal game in this year's World Juniors Championship, the Blues went on to rally from a three-goal deficit with goals from Brad Winchester, captain Eric Brewer, and Matt D'Agostini. The surge of offense was enough to earn the Blues a point, but they were unable to come away with the shootout win.
In the absence of key forwards T.J. Oshie, Andy McDonald, and David Perron, David Backes has provided an important offensive spark for the Blues. Backes leads his team with eleven goals and twenty-one assists for a team-high total of thirty-two points.
On the injury front for the Rangers, the good news is that Ryan Callahan and Vinny Prospal will resume skating with the team. However, neither forward is going to return to the line-up before the end of January. Mats Zuccarello is beginning to acclimate offensively to the NHL, but the newest addition to the Rangers' roster can't be expected to carry the team's offense indefinitely. Sean Avery's strong play as of late caused Tortorella to bump him up to Marian Gaborik's line, so it should be interesting to see how he reacts to this added responsibility tonight in Dallas.
If the Rangers can find some offense tonight against the Stars, hopefully they will be able to utilize this momentum to go for the win tomorrow night in St. Louis.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) is a very rare disease in which abnormal white blood cells start growing and affect the bones, kidneys, skin, and brain. ECD can cause severe lung disease, kidney failure, heart disease, and other complications that lead to death. Because ECD is a rare disease, found mostly in men over 40 years of age, there is no standard treatment for it. More information is needed to find out what genes can cause ECD and how best to treat it.
- To collect study samples and medical information on people with Erdheim Chester Disease.
- Individuals 2 to 80 year of age who have been diagnosed with Erdheim Chester Disease.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history.
- Participants will have a study visit to provide samples for study, including blood, urine, and skin tissue samples. Participants will also have lung, heart, and muscle function tests; imaging studies of the brain, chest, and whole body; a treadmill running stress test; an eye exam; and other tests as needed by the study doctors.
- Participants will be asked to return for a similar set of tests every 2 years, and to remain in contact for possible treatment options.

|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Clinical and Basic Investigations Into Erdheim-Chester Disease
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|July 2011
Erdheim-Chester Diseases (ECD) is a very rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis of unknown origin and pathogenesis. It has been reported mainly in adult males over the age of 40 years, although cases have been reported in females as well. Children are rarely affected by this condition. No causative gene has been identified; family studies have not been performed due to the rarity and sporadic nature of the disease. The clinical characteristics of ECD range from asymptomatic to multisystemic involvement; longitudinal progression and natural history have not been well documented. ECD commonly affects the bones, kidneys, retroperitoneal space, skin and brain. After diagnosis, the disease progresses rapidly, causing fatal outcomes due to severe lung disease, chronic renal failure, cardiomyopathy and other complications. The diagnosis of ECD relies upon imaging studies and specific pathologic findings in biopsies of affected organs, i.e., fibrosis and infiltration of the affected tissues with foamy histiocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Immunohistochemistry reveals cells positive for CD68 and negative for CD1a and S-100. There is no standard treatment for ECD, although chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplantion, alpha-interferon, steroids and sirolimus have been proposed. Symptomatic improvement has been reported with some of these therapies, but death within a few years after diagnosis remains the expected outcome. In this protocol, we will clinically evaluate ECD patients, obtain cells, plasma, and urine, search for genes that can be responsible for ECD, and perform other studies dictated by each patient s presentation.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|2 Years to 80 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- ECD patients of any gender and ethnicity age 2-80 years
- Patients will be diagnosed as having ECD based upon pathologic evaluations of affected organs.
- Family members are also invited to be part of the study. They will undergo a limited evaluation at the NIH Clinical Center
- Patients will be excluded if they have a suspected diagnosis of ECD not confirmed by biopsy or another form of histiocytosis or cannot travel to the NIH because of their medical condition.
- Children under age two year are excluded because there is no urgency for a very early diagnosis and care is more readily provided to older children at the Clinical Center.
- Pregnant women will not be able to be part of this study because of the risks that can be harmful to the fetus.

Thus Spake Still
February 08, 2012
Clyfford Still Museum Denver, Colorado I have never been strongly attracted to the feverish visionary heights that can be reached by a prophetic voice. Of course I feel the power of the Book of Lamentations, and Michelangelo's Last Judgment, and Wagner's Ring, and Blake's apocalyptic extravaganzas. But there are other registers that touch me more deeply, or at least more directly. I think a convincing argument can be made that the prophetic mode does not come naturally to the visual artist, surely not to the visual artist in the modern world.

NORFOLK — A $13.5 million capital project at Norwood-Norfolk Central School passed handily Wednesday night, by a 131-22 vote.
"It looks like about 86 percent" approval, Superintendent James M. Cruikshank said.
District officials stressed the need for the project through a number of avenues, including a capital project newsletter, information on their website, news articles, a public hearing and a building tour so voters could see the areas that need to be addressed.
"It's not just necessary. It's important in this time of limited resources that we consider every resource we have," Mr. Cruikshank said.
The project's top priority will be to address building code violations and Americans With Disabilities Act compliance. That includes asbestos abatement, elevator upgrades, an air handler in the elementary boiler room, CO2 sensors in large gathering areas, masonry repairs, an addition to the bus maintenance area, code corrections in various stairwells and replacement of the high school gym bleachers.
The second priority addresses energy efficiency projects that will save the district money. That includes replacement of some windows and doors, as well as the antiquated steam heating system and various air handlers and exhaust and ventilators. There also will be an upgrade to the lighting and electrical, technology network and VOIP, and resurfacing of the track.
"What you do at your home is what we have to do here," Mr. Cruikshank said.
As part of the project, district officials are predicting energy savings through a number of initiatives, including the replacement of some exterior doors and windows, a steam heating system that's more than 50 years old and an emergency generator with efficient natural gas, and an upgrading of the energy management system to give district officials more control over energy use.
Officials estimate that by addressing their energy consumption through the project, they will see an estimated net savings in utilities of $405,000 over 15 years.
"We'll save money. I think the public understands that," Mr. Cruikshank said.
The final list of priority items calls for the replacement of obsolete plumbing, flooring and stage curtains, improvement of the sound and lighting system in the auditorium, soundproofing in the music rooms, installation of a loading dock life table, upgrading of auditorium seating, an improved fire alarm system, replacement of the emergency generator and improvements to the parking areas.
The needs were identified through a building condition survey that originally was focused on energy conservation projects. But as architects went through the facility, they discovered items that had to be corrected to meet code or comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. And if those issues were not addressed, Mr. Cruikshank said, the state Education Department would not approve the project.
While the project cost is $13.5 million, the district is using more than $1 million from its capital reserve fund. The district has an aid rate of 96.4 percent for capital projects, meaning it will receive more than 96 cents back on every dollar spent.
Now that voters have approved the project, Mr. Cruikshank said the next step is to get with the architectural firm, William Taylor and Associates, to begin the planning phase of the project.
That plan will be submitted to the state Education Department for approval, a process that Mr. Cruikshank said takes about six months. The intent is to have shovels in the ground to start the project by the summer of 2015, Mr. Cruikshank said.

Submission Matthew Garrett Gives Tips to Survive Bricked UEFI Samsung Laptops->
hypnosec writes: UEFI guru Matthew Garrett who cleared the Linux kernel in Samsung laptop bricking issues has come to rescue beleaguered users by offering a survival guide enabling them to avoid similar issues in the future. According to Garrett, storage space constraints in UEFI storage variables is the reason Samsung laptops end up bricking themselves. Garrett said that if the storage space utilized by the UEFI firmware is more than 50 per cent full the laptop will refuse to start and end up being bricked. To prevent this from happening he has provided a Kernel patch that would ensure that Linux does not fill up more than 50 per cent of UEFI firmware's storage space.

ISLANDERS, DiPIETRO GET SMARTTeam announces goalie's scheduled day off
2:00 pm: As announced by the NYI, Rick DiPietro will have a scheduled day off on Monday. Might seem like minor news, but it is not. Holding the goalie back on Day 3 is evidence the Islanders' medical staff and DiPietro – who turns 29 today – have learned the hard way that less is more. Announcing the move ahead of time to the media and fanbase is evidence, simply, that they have learned. Bravo. Comments.

Hi ^^
I've always wanted a Pittie or a bully breed of some kind, but my family is extremely racist about them :x But one day while walking my dog, a little bundle of fluff stumbled into my life <3
My vet teacher said she was about 4wks old :3 She had Rounds, and my teacher treated her for free. She also donated that lovely collar and a leash <3
Needless to say, I was totally in love from day one..My family on the other hand not so much. After a couple months though, I was able to keep her. I got away with calling her a Staffordshire Terrier (they don't know what breed that is ) but I think she has some Am. Bulldog in her as well, but who knows. Anyways, everyone (well except for one person) was totally in love with her too (I WON!! )
So here we are down the road..Shes about four and a half/five months old and around 60lb. I have some questions though which is why I've come o: I also want to socialize with fellow pittie lovers and get some tips <3 Esp training tips, we're having LOTS of problems walking on a leash. Other than that shes highly trainable and learns things extremely fast. I'm gonna buy her a Gentle Lead on Friday when I get paid. I'm getting some more money next Wednesday and I really wanna use it to train her, but I'm having trouble picking a trainer. She knows everything they offer at the Petco/Petsmart training sessions except for walking on a leash so it's kind of a waste of money in my opinion..I found a slightly more advanced class thats for older puppies and I would love to take her there but they haven't emailed me back haha. I would love to find a trainer that specializes in bully breeds but couldn't find any :c Anyways I've rambled enough, heres my beautiful baby Some pics were taken today and others last month
^ She doesn't look 60lb does she?? XD

FRYEBURG, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Fryeburg Police Chief and two reserve officers are on paid administrative leave as a Portland law firm investigates their possible involvement in a Labor Day weekend party, that may have involved underage drinking.
According to Town Manager Sharon Jackson, an anonymous letter was sent last week containing photographs from a Labor Day weekend party and a number of allegations.
The letter accuses Police Chief Phil Weymouth of supplying alcohol to the party, and taking beers for himself before leaving.
It goes on to state that reserve officers Andrew Ward and Dale Stout attended the party, allowing and even encouraging underage drinking.
Photographs show the officers posing for a picture at the party. There is also a photograph of a woman on top of a Fryeburg police cruiser.
Jackson said Chief Weymouth denies being at the party, and the two officers deny any wrong doing.
She said Stout and Ward were responding to a call, but there is not a record of any arrests or action taken as a result of that call.
All three are on paid adminstrative leave as a Portland law firm investigates the allegations.
"It's surprising, it's troubling," said Jackson.
"With anonymous allegations, you have no one to question, so we felt it owuld be best to bring in an outside agency to come in and do the investigation so that they could get to the truth."
While the department may be down three men, Jackson said proper police coverage will continue.

Great service! It took two weeks for the item to arrive, but the low cost (at least compared to the prices here in Finland) and the flawlessness of the product compensated for the lengthy arrival process. And the staff responding my emails was very friendly too. Thank you!Elina Mer, Finland

I've heard from two people in the last few days suggesting Marquez is considering giving up football at Texas Tech to pursue baseball full team with the Mets. He's an interesting prospect, since insiders indicate he could quickly become of one of the team's top outfield prospects….
There's no question Marquez would instantly become one of the system's top athletes if he gives up football to play baseball full time. Watch for som video on him around here shortly.

Visual essay: History of Mac Court
EUGENE, Ore. -- McArthur Court served the University of Oregon for the better part of a century.
Now that a new basketball arena is taking shape, the future of the building remains in limbo -- and while the UO wants to re-use the building, demolition remains one of the options.
KVAL News photographer Bill Goetz paused to take a visual look at the history of Mac Court.

Jefferson Community College is having another record enrollment year, and expects a further boost when its residence hall is complete.
As of Tuesday, 4,000 students were signed up for fall classes, a 1.74 percent increase from the same time last year.
Weve been over 4,000, but thats usually later in the semester, Vice President for Students Betsy D. Penrose said at Wednesdays board of trustees meeting.
As of Aug. 22, before classes began, 3,720 students were enrolled, which means 280 more students signed up in just the past two weeks.
The enrollment includes 49 students in the chemical dependency program and 29 in fire protection technology, two programs that were approved by the board last school year.
Of the colleges enrollment, 38.3 percent are military-related.
So, the news for enrollment is good, Mrs. Penrose said.
In other business, President Carole M. McCoy said the college received the building permit for the planned $17.5 million, 298-unit dormitory on Wednesday.
We are no longer working on the ground level, she said excitedly. We are in the depths of this project, and obviously theres a lot of work to make it happen.
She said the construction is on schedule. According to a previous interview with Faculty-Student Association President Jack N. Donato, the outside of the building is expected to be done by Thanksgiving so the inside can be worked on through the winter.
The building is expected to be completely furnished and staffed to open next July.

This past weekend the project to place at least one flower on the estimated 25,000 graves in Carbon County began in earnest as groups of people rolled up to various cemeteries and begin the work.
The project, known as No Graves Unadorned, has developed legs of its own throughout the community. It's estimated that as many as 1,000 people have been involved in the making of the plastic flowers for graves over the last month and now some of them, along with other volunteers, are placing flowers throughout this week on graves, just in time for Memorial Day.
The number of flowers that had come into the Sun Advocate office by Monday afternoon counted near 18,000. The goal is to produce 20,000 to cover graves that have no decorations at all. While materials for a few thousand more flowers are still out, filling the manpower needs to actually put the flowers on graves goes on. The biggest need appears to be at the Price Cemetery where there are thousands upon thousands of graves to be attended to.
It also means that flowers that have been under construction by groups throughout the county need to be brought into the Sun Advocate office by Thursday so that there are enough to go around.
To keep track of the numbers of flowers brought in, each issue of the Sun Advocate has a flower vine printed in the far right column of the front page showing how many flowers have come in.
Anyone wishing to donate their time to make flowers or to place them on graves this week can contact Shayla Winder at 637-0732.
The volunteers that have donated their time have been tremendous. The papers staff looks forward to working with even more people over the next week to place flowers.

Joanne MacLennan of Merry Poppins is back on our blog today with a Christmas treat! Her brilliantly colored Ornament Cake Pops are a great addition to cookie baking this weekend. A perfect project to make with kids of all ages, and a wonderful gift to bring to holiday hosts!
- – - – - -
I love decorating my Christmas Tree with the memories of the past. Each ornament seems to carry with it an emotion locked inside for you to physically touch as you place it on the tree. This is wondrous to me. Now that I am a little crazed about small round edible balls, I thought it would be fun to create some ornaments for your table too!
Here's what you'll need:
• 1 Cake mix
• Candy melts (red and white here)
• Lollipop sticks
• SweetWorks Sugar pearls, Sixlets, edible glitter, and nonpareils
• Wax paper
• Parchment paper or paper to catch falling glitter
• Flat plate or cookie sheet
• Microwaveable bowls for melting the candy melts
• Spoons
• Small plastic bag with the corner cut out to use as a tip for details, OR a decorating set with various tips
• Styrofoam block to stand sticks while waiting for them to set
• Bowls to catch falling sprinkles and candy
Here's the how-to:
For the complete directions on how to make a cake pop up to the dipping stage, please refer to my last post on MyCandyCrafts.com , and complete up to the end of step 8.
Below is my basic ring cake pop. I first made three rings of melts, and then sprinkled them with red nonpariels. Let this set for a few minutes. Then make three more rings between the red ones and sprinkle with green nonpariels. Then, carefully dip the silver Sixlet into the melted chocolate and set on the top of your cake pop.
This cake pop was dipped, and immediately sprinkled with red edible glitter. Make sure you sprinkle over a clean sheet of paper for this one. Once you are done it is easy to bend the paper and let the glitter slide back into the container. Again, complete the cake pop with a silver sixlet on the top.
I love snowflakes!
I first dipped my cake pop in red melts and let it set. Then, after dumping a spoon of melted candy melts into a small plastic bag and snipping off the tip, I drew little lines crossing each other. Three to be exact. Like an X with one more line through it. Then grab the glitter and sprinkle. Any mistakes you thought you had will disappear in the sparkles.
I dipped the cake pop in red melts again and let it set. Using my little plastic bag with melts in it, I drew a line from the top of the cake pop to the bottom, and came right back up a little but away from my first line. Then I filled in the space with melts and quickly sprinkled with gold edible glitter. Continue around the ball until it is complete.
Oh! And don't forget the silver Sixlet on the top!
This green striped cake pop was done the same way as the red and gold ball, but I dipped it in white melts, and then never filled in the spaces that were left between the lines I drew from the top to the bottom. I love this one.
Top off with a silver Sixlet.
All complete! A colorful array of eye catching treats!
Time to clean up! Being creative in my house means there is a mess at the end.

Posted by john on Sat, 02/03/07, 07:11pm:
Phew. That would've been fairly embarrassing if we lost, now that the Clippers are relevant again (and attempting to remain relevant)… although the lead was only 47-42 after the first half, it felt very much like we were in control . How 'bout that Elton Brand! Felt like we were toying with this team…
Isolating the first 5:30 of the 3rd quarter – where the Celtics "stormed" back to erase the half-time deficit and take a 1-point lead - seems like a good place for a breakdown:
- 11:40 – Clips show some nice patience on offense, working the ball around the perimeter, find Kaman on the far block, makes a nice hook shot – 49-42
- 11:24 – Rondo has the ball up top, looks for Jefferson, Kaman gets caught hung up on a switch, leaving Maggette to contend with Jefferson, who converts an easy 5- footer (ominous foreshadowing) – 49-44
- 10:50 – TT nails a 3 – we're up by 8 points now, 52-44
- 10:40 – Jefferson, squatting on the block, gets a nice moving entry pass from Scalabrine, Kaman is out of position, TT runs over to help and fouls. Jefferson converts FTs - 52-46
- 8:22 – teams've been trading baskets – after Clipper make, Rondo runs the ball down before Clips have time to set up their D, finds a wide open Gomes who drains a 15-footer from the wing – 56-50
- 7:50 – after a missed Brand jumper (tough shot attempt over Jefferson), Clipper illegal D – cuts it to 5 – on the possession, Delonte dribbles around the perimeter to find Gomes, who hits from the same spot as before (TT's blown assignment) – 56-53 (it's a ball game!)
- 7:20 – Sam misses a wide open-3 at the top of the key
- 7:10 – Delonte finds Jefferson at the top of the key, who makes a quick pivot and softly drops a hook shot over Kaman – 56-55
- 6:55 – Mobley has the ball on the wing, backs Delonte down, gets hung up, passes out to Sam but gets intercepted by Rondo
- 6:30 – the "Jefferson abusing Kaman" show continues, as Rondo drops the ball to Jefferson on the block, who drives around Kaman for a nice baseline shot – 56-57, and Celtics have their first lead of the game – Clipper time out
It's telling, once the Celts took a lead, the next possession out of this time out - quick entry to Brand, who drains it. Why did we get away from this? The 3rd quarter ended with the Celts up by 2, as we essentially traded baskets for the rest of the quarter. Looking at the breakdown above – we see it doesn't take a lot to "turn" a game. One mismatch (surprisingly, Dunleavy stayed with Kaman for the rest of the 3rd), couple missed Clipper shots (not displaying the patience on offense we did in the first half, getting away from Brand) – and it's a ball game instead of a blow-out.
Games like this are always interesting – as fans we often hear "the better team getting dragged down to the poor team's level". This game felt much more like the "Clippers turned it on when they had to". Not sure why, but we just don't wanna rip out the other team's heart. The box score looks tight (Clips had only 9 TOs, outrebounded the smaller Celts +2, +16 FTs made) but we could have, and should have, broken this game wide open at some point.
Let's watch for this going-forward – I'm reminded of a past Kevin post , musing on the character and toughness of the 06/07 Clippers (inspired by the Denver brawl). At full strength, we have the personnel to hang with any team in this league. Especially if TT keeps this level performance up (he's only 28, and he's been of late showing the play of a man in his athletic prime). But we need more if we have any hope of beating the elite…
Some player notes:
- Elton - I take back everything I said about Elton Brand's 05/06 season being the standard, aberrant "career-year"….
- Shaun - Line wasn't great (0 points / 4 assists / 4 rebounds / 0 TOs) but I was pleased by his overall performance. He is able to run our offense; he is in control. Sure – he can be a sulky bastard, doesn't have the best shot, and gets shaken easily - but Shaun's been pushing the ball upcourt with fierce-ness and confidence, finding the open man, and looking to finish. And he is, for the most part, a relentless defender.
- Kaman - gets a flyer tonight due to matchup issues – but he really can't defend quicker PFs in this League.

|Grubb Named Principal at Blue Ridge Elementary
|Written by Lesia Nave
|Wednesday, 16 May 2012 13:32
Blue Ridge Elementary School will welcome a new principal for the 2012-2013 school year. The Ashe County Board of Education unanimously approved the appointment of Callie Grubb, an assistant principal at Ashe County High School, on Tuesday evening May 15, 2012.
Mrs. Grubb will succeed Mr. John Gregory, a retired principal who has filled the interim position since December 1, 2011.
Mrs. Grubb received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She earned her Master of Science in School Administration at Appalachian State University.
The hiring process for this position began in late February. Dr. Travis Reeves, Superintendent of Ashe County Schools, met with Blue Ridge Elementary School's school improvement team to share and gather information regarding the characteristics they valued in a principal and explained the process. Fifteen stakeholders were involved in the discussion. From this group, a sub-group was formed to comprise the first interview team. Thirteen applicants were screened and seven were interviewed. Three names were recommended for the second round of interviews. The second interview team was comprised of a teacher, principals, central office administration and a retired principal. Each candidate was required to develop and deliver a 15 minute presentation on his/her vision of Blue Ridge Elementary School prior to questioning. A thorough deliberation and analysis of the presentation and questioning was constructed by each interview team member. After completing the interview process, Dr. Travis Reeves said, "I am confident in Mrs. Grubb's ability to lead Blue Ridge Elementary School. Mrs. Grubb has a history of integrity and strong work ethic. Her education philosophy includes putting children first and building teamwork in a collegial setting. She believes in working together, growing together and learning together. I feel her leadership will bring long-term sustained growth in academic achievement and she will welcome the community to be a part of this excellent school."
Mrs. Grubb has been employed with Ashe County Schools since February 2003. Her primary role has been in administration for the past five years. "My education has definitely supplied me with the knowledge and tools to become an effective educational leader while my varied employment experiences have taught me the value of teamwork and collaboration," said Mrs. Grubb. Carmen Wilson, a former North Carolina Teacher of the Year and math teacher at Ashe County High states, "Mrs. Grubb is highly organized and gives attention to detail. She is a very hard-working individual with high expectations for both herself and those around her. Mrs. Grubb emphasizes the importance of communication by being a good listener and by
seeking to understand and finding solutions for issues that are brought to her attention. It is clear that she truly cares about the students and staff of Ashe County Schools. Jason Krider, the principal of Ashe County High states, "Mrs. Grubb is a pleasure to work with. She is dedicated to student success and will be a great addition to Blue Ridge Elementary School. Mrs. Grubb has shown that she is willing to do what it takes to ensure students reach their potential and meet the expectations that are set for them. Her student-centered approach to decision making will make for a smooth transition to Blue Ridge. Ashe County High School will miss the hard work, enthusiasm, and love for kids that Mrs. Grubb brings to school each day. We wish her well on her new endeavor."
Mrs. Grubb's vision for Blue Ridge will focus on student needs and student engagement while building a sense of team with students, faculty and parents. With a new state curriculum change, there will also be an emphasis on K-2 literacy skills. Teacher preparation with this new reform will be of the upmost priority and Mrs. Grubb and her team will focus on student relationships and academic rigor. Communication with all stakeholders will be essential as Blue Ridge Elementary moves forward in 2012-2013.
Mrs. Grubb resides in Ashe County and is married to Jason Grubb of Boone, NC.

Any French woman will confirm that the core of a brilliant wardrobe is rooted in trend-setting fashion designs and uniquely personalized with high quality accessories that glamorize and accentuate her features and personality. So bring on the adorning scarves, jewelry, shoes and bags. Since we are all, to a certain extent, arbiters of fashion, it is no surprise that more and more of us choose to personalize our mobile devices, such as unlocked cell phones, tablets, iPods and MacBooks with accessories that reflect our personalities and interactive lifestyles.

Hi there, just wana know what the best enemy model is. I played against tankjr for a while but the problem is that it's to big(easy to spot but makes it difficult to shoot him). If one's a programmer one would understand the concept, but I'll try explain it. With tank jr, lets say u have a rg and your cursor is on his shoulder. when you shoot, your shot was on him, but yet it missed(did no damage). That is because the parts of the model cover extra parts which are outside the hit zone. So you can shoot him there, you technically got a good shot, it should have hit him, but it did no damage. Si tank jr is to big. I then went back to the default, which is the keel guy. The problem with him is that there rae parts of his body which are to small. Like you can aim next to his head(your cursor is definitely not on his head) and your shot will hit him and still do damage.
I hope you udnerstand what I'm trying to say. So it boils down to: What's the very best model(give me link to image on google, don't know the names) that represents the invisible " hit zone". So that when I shoot a guy on his toe I know that that shot will definitely hit and do damage. Not a model where I have to think" that shot might not hit even though my cursor is definitely on him".
Any help is appreciated
