Seeley Swan Pathfinder
Seeley Lake, Montana
The 4th of July is within sight this week. Only two more weeks and Seeley Lake's annual celebration of freedom will be here. The Seeley Lake Chamber is again sponsoring two events this year on the 4th, the parade and the fireworks.
Although the Chamber is sponsoring these events, it takes the citizens of the community to make them successful. Without your entries in the parade, there wouldn't be anything to watch. The theme this year is Celebrate the Century, with an emphasis on volunteerism. The Grand Marshall will be on a float called "Celebrate a Century of Volunteerism," for without volunteers, our community would hardly run. So get your group, family, business, organization or yourself and join in the parade fun.
Our fireworks show will be held at the southern end of Seeley Lake at 10:30 p.m. This show is brought to you in part by the local businesses, but also takes the support of community people to make it a bigger and better show. By sponsoring a "firework shot" you are helping to sponsor the whole event on the 4th of July.
For further information contact Nancy Miller at the Chamber office, 677-2880, or email@example.com; Cheri Thompson at 677-2454 or 677-2309 for fireworks; or Mary Ann Morin at 677-2594 for the parade.

School kids from around the country will descend on Washington next week to help with spring planting at the White House kitchen garden.
Michelle Obama's office says local school children will be joined Monday by kids from elementary schools in Ames, Iowa, Chester, Pa., and Greensboro, N.C. In addition, children from a Girl Scout troop in Fairport, N.Y. will help.
The scouts from Troop 60325 wrote Mrs. Obama that they were growing 100 tomato plants to give to people without access to fresh food.
The elementary schools that snagged invitations also have been active in gardening.
This will be the fourth annual spring planting for the first lady's garden, the first vegetable patch at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's wartime victory garden.

RF inhibits rituximab effects by binding the Fc portion of RTX. A. Monoclonal IgM RF has an inhibitory effect on RTX-CDC when RTX (1 μg/ml) has an IgG1 heavy chain, but not when RTX has an IgG3 heavy chain (n = 3). B. Addition of RTX 10 μg/ml to PBMC in serum free media after addition of monoclonal IgM RF (n = 6) or IgA RF (n = 3) inhibits loss of CD19 by RTX-mediated trogocytosis. Inhibitory effects of RF found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05) are indicated by asterisks. Error bars represent mean standard error.

[Crossposted at Family Scholars Blog.]
I wrote about Flores-Villar v. United States last year. The Times summarizes the state of the law in 1974, when Ruben Flores-Villar was born:
Children born outside the country to an unmarried American parent are considered American citizens at birth if the parent lived in the United States before the child was born. For a mother, the required period of residence is one year. For a father, it is 10 years, five of them after he turns 14. Fathers must also prove parenthood and pledge to support the child.
The case involves Ruben Flores-Villar, whose father — but not mother — is an American. Ruben was born in Mexico and moved to the US when he was two months old. Ruben has been declared an "illegal immigrant" and deported to Mexico. Ruben's father was sixteen years old when Ruben was born, and so the "five of them after he turns 14″ provision of the law was impossible to meet.
(It's important to note that immigration law was altered in the 1980s; the current law is still sexist and should be fixed, but the discrepancy is not as large as it was when Ruben was born.)
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's ruling on a 4-4 vote; Kagen recused herself because she was involved with this case as Solicitor General. This is particularly frustrating since, had Kagen voted, it's expected she would have voted in Flores-Villar's favor.
Amanda Rice writes, "When the Court splits, the lower court's decision stands, but the Supreme Court's decision creates no precedent. In other words, it's just as if the Court never granted certiorari." And this split decision creates some ground for optimism: perhaps a future case, in which Kagen can participate, will lead to this sexist immigration law being overturned.
Marcia Greenberger of the National Women's Law Center writes:
The case demonstrates how vulnerable the hard-won Constitutional protection against sex discrimination has become. The Constitution requires an exceedingly persuasive rationale to justify the government's treatment of people differently based on gender—and there was simply no rationale offered that even comes close here. Four Justices on the Court were willing to let stand a decision based on outdated stereotypes about the roles of men and women in raising their children.
The Court's decision allows the continued application of tougher standards for U.S. citizenship to children born abroad to unmarried U.S. citizen fathers as compared to unmarried U. S. citizen mothers. Flores-Villar, an unmarried father, could only have passed his citizenship on to his son if he had lived in the U.S. for at least ten years prior to the child's birth, with five of those years after the age of 14—a standard that was physically impossible for him to meet since he was 16 years old when he became a father. In contrast, unmarried mothers only have to live in the U.S. for one year—at any time in their lives—a standard Flores-Villar easily met. This unequal treatment imposes real harm on mothers, fathers and children, and because of this decision, the harm continues.
And Sandra Park of the ACLU Women's Rights Project writes:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld the law in response to Flores-Villar's constitutional challenge. The court failed to take into account that gender stereotypes that presume fathers are less responsible for child rearing influenced the passage of the law, despite the fact that laws that discriminate between men and women based on gender stereotypes have routinely been struck down as violating the Constitution.
Furthermore, the lower court did not recognize that the government's justification for the law – to avoid statelessness of children – was unpersuasive. By subjecting fathers to stricter residency requirements, the law exacerbates the risk of statelessness for their children and does not effectively address the problem. Without much analysis, the court relied on the reasoning of Nguyen v. INS, which approved the law's legitimation requirement, but did not recognize a crucial distinction. In Nguyen, the Court emphasized that the father had ample opportunity to legally acknowledge his child and exercise his right to transmit citizenship. Flores-Villar's father, on the other hand, faced an absolute bar to transmitting citizenship due to his age. In effect, the law declares that some parents have fewer rights, simply because they are men.
Today's order did not rule on the merits of the 9th Circuit's reasoning. But given that this nationality law continues to treat fathers and mothers differently, those questions will likely be raised again, to be heard next time by all nine justices.
The comments at the Volokh Conspiracy include some speculation about which justices voted on which side of this issue.

Roxio Venue for burning protected DVDs
updated 04:40 pm EDT, Tue August 8, 2006
Roxio Venue
Unlike recent moves by other vendors, Roxio is taking steps to make DVD burning of movies both functional and legal. The software developer today announced Roxio Venue, a program made for recording downloaded movies to DVD while copy-protecting them in such a way that they can be read by regular DVD players. Venue can record using the Content Scrambling System, or CSS - the controversial encryption method used to discourage copying of most DVD movies today. Use of the software is currently limited to online movie providers who need to verify its success rate with their own content, but Roxio says that it will ship Venue to the public at large before the end of the year.

The Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Reauthorization Act (P.L. 110-293) provides support for the U.S. Government (USG) to enter into Partnership Frameworks (PFs) with partner governments as a means of promoting national ownership of sustainable HIV programs under the President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Partnership Frameworks seek to more closely align USG-funded HIV/AIDS efforts with national programs and the efforts of other international partners and civil society at the country level. Partnership Frameworks provide a five-year joint strategic framework focused on service delivery, HIV/AIDS policy reform, and shared financial and/or in-kind contributions. After each PF is signed, a more detailed five-year PF Implementation Plan follows, with annual benchmarks for progress against the Framework and a matrix detailing partner inputs to the PF objectives.
On July 22nd, the United States signed the "Partnership Framework between the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Government of the United States for HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control." Though HIV prevalence in the general population in Vietnam is an estimated 0.43%, it continues at unacceptably high levels among most-at-risk populations. Priorities in the PF include promoting sustainability through a multi-sectoral approach, as well as targeting programming to effectively meet the health needs of the most vulnerable populations.
The Partnership Framework provides a five-year joint strategic plan for cooperation between the Government of Vietnam, the U.S. Government, and other stakeholders to support a collaborative response to HIV, while also supporting health services for people living with HIV/AIDS in Vietnam. The Partnership Framework, which was developed over six months of continuous consultation involving representatives from the two governments, outlines and describes the mutual goals of the United States and Vietnam to strengthen the national response to HIV/AIDS. The activities prioritized for support from the United States are intended to achieve the maximum feasible impact, while also building local capacity to support the increasing shift to host country ownership.
The Partnership Framework is presented in five sections: strategic overview and principles, purpose and goals, partners' roles and responsibilities, development of the Partnership Framework Implementation Plan, and implementation and management.
The Partnership Framework includes three broad goals, under each of which are associated objectives to further describe the priority areas within each goal. The first goal aims to improve services and strengthen access for most-at-risk populations by prioritizing targeted geographic areas and reaching agreed-upon targets through a multi-sectoral approach that helps ensure adequate coverage. The second goal promotes sustainable HIV/AIDS services by increasing collaboration across national programs and bolstering the national system of workforce development to improve service delivery. The third goal broadens and strengthens the national response to HIV/AIDS by supporting the adoption and implementation of policies that address emerging health issues and strengthen the capacity of and involve mass organizations, NGOs, multilateral organizations, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
In the spirit of continued collaboration and planning, and to ensure effective coordination and joint oversight of the Partnership Framework and Implementation Plan, a steering committee has been formed to help develop the Implementation Plan. The steering committee is comprised of officials from several ministries of the government of Vietnam, representatives of the USG, representatives from the United Nations, and other relevant stakeholders.

Humane Rigging is a new training DVD in the Blender Open Movie
Workshop series.
With approximately 6 hours of information-packed video, Nathan's
friendly and humorous style of teaching will provide viewers with a
solid education in designing and building user-friendly rigs in
Blender 2.6. The viewer will come away not with mere step-by-step
knowledge of how to build specific rigs, but rather will gain a solid
conceptual background in Blender rigging tools and how to exploit
them to build and design their own rigs. Emphasis is placed on
designing rigs that are friendly for animators.
Rig deformations are touched on enough to get by, but are not covered
deeply. They will be covered in-depth in future training material.
The focus of this DVD is rig controls.

BOURBON COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - The Bourbon County Sheriff's Office has received several complaints about a phone scam.
Sheriff Mark Matthews says someone is claiming to be from the Department of Juvenile Justice or from the Sheriff's Office. In one case, the caller says a juvenile family member is in jail and needs money to be bailed out.
In the other case, the caller claims to be a deputy sheriff and says there is a subpoena for you for a debt. They say if you don't send them money, you will go to jail.
The callers have personal information, including name, address, social security numbers and spouse's name.
The Bourbon County Sheriff's Office has these tips:
1. Do not send money.
2. Contact law enforcement.
3. Check your credit report. If they have your personal information, they could be making fraudulent charges on your credit cards.
4. Sheriff's offices and other law enforcement won't serve any paperwork by phone; they do it in person with proper identification.

HOUSTON, Texas – Fallen financier R. Allen Stanford faces a new, narrower indictment on federal charges he ran a $7.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
The amended, 14-count indictment, filed Wednesday in Houston, Texas, drops five mail-fraud counts, two wire-fraud counts and a conspiracy count.
Stanford, 61, could still face as much as 20 years in prison if convicted on any of the 10 fraud counts in the revised complaint. No trial date has been set.
Four co-defendants – including Baldwyn native Laura Pendergest-Holt – in the original June 2009 indictment also were dropped from the new indictment. They are scheduled to go on trial after Stanford's trial.
Prosecutors accuse Stanford of defrauding investors who bought bogus certificates of deposit issued by his Antigua-based Stanford International Bank Ltd.
They said the one-time billionaire used proceeds in part to fund other ventures and a lavish lifestyle that included several yachts and private jets, and homes around the world.
Stanford, who pleaded not guilty, has been in federal custody since June 2009.
Scores of Mississippians count themselves among Stanford's victims. Stanford Financial Group had offices in Tupelo, Jackson and Memphis.
It is unclear why the case was narrowed. Reuters News reported that U.S. Department of Justice spokeswoman Laura Sweeney declined to comment, citing a court-imposed gag order.

|Food transit time, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen retention in farmed and feral American mink (Neovison vison) - a comparative analysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23020905 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The aim of this study was to determine whether farming leads to changes in gastrointestinal function and nitrogen metabolism in farmed mink (FA), as compared with their wild-living counterparts. Three digestibility and balance trials were carried out. Experiment I was performed in May, and experiments II and III were conducted in September 2011. Farmed mink with the standard coat colour were purchased from a production farm in south-eastern Poland. Feral mink were harvested using cages in the hunting grounds of the Polish Hunting Association, Branch in Olsztyn. The experimental materials comprised of the following: trial I - adult males (eight animals per group), trial II - young females (six animals per group), trial III-young animals (five males and five females per group). Food transit time was measured during digestibility trials, on 10 consecutive days. The coefficients of nutrient and energy digestibility and daily nitrogen balance values were compared between groups in each experiment. It was found that farming contributed to changes in gastrointestinal function and nitrogen metabolism in mink. Farmed animals were characterized by a longer bowel transit time, a tendency towards higher nutrient digestibility and higher nitrogen retention, which resulted from selection for higher productivity.

Take a look at the chart above constructed from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics 2009 Consumer Expenditure Survey. It conveys a sense of how Egypt's poverty combined with the sharp rise in food prices sparked the political revolt against the Mubarek government.
The chart illustrates how the lower income groups in the U.S. really get squeezed when food and gas prices rise. In the U.S. the average annual income for the consumer units (households) measured is $62,857, where food expenditures consume a little over 10 percent of income.
But averages distort the true picture of what is really going on as only 15 percent of consumer units fit into this income group. Many have drowned in pools of water where the average depth is only 11 inches deep. Almost one third of the households in the U.S. spend close to or more than 20 percent of their annual income on food.
Remember this the next time the market cheerleaders and policymakers tout core CPI and dismiss food and energy inflation. It may also help explain the rise in social angst in U.S. society.

mr. ritholtz,
i often find your insight thought provoking. i don't read many comments here so please forgive my ignorance if any of this subject matter has been discussed. it seems obvious that the rationale for the all but correctionless skyward trajectory of the markets, i.e. the virtual absense of fear… at least since august 2010, in my opinion, breaks down like this:
1.) pomo
2.) pomo
3.) pomo
4.) increased pomo starting tomorrow (200 billion in short bonds over 8 weeks)
5.) dollar weakness, euro strength
6.) mostly bottom line increases in s&p earnings through cost cutting and/or the jobless recovery
risk assets, stocks, commodities will continue their unrelenting rise until some time around march opex when the primary dealers are positioned to take it down ahead of the end of qe2. notiwthstanding potential qe3, bonds will sell off, 10 year will spike to 4′s, the intentionally delayed reaction to muni's, europe, middle east, chinese/emerging market inflation will all be front page again and larry kudlow and ron paul will be needling bernanke.
any bearish positions are lost money ahead of the end of pomo. everybody… f-i-r-e-i-n-c-a-i-r-o

Intra-arterial Thrombolysis: An advanced treatment only offered by hospitals that have interventional radiologists trained in the procedure, thrombolytic drugs are given to stroke patients that have formed an acute blood clot in the brain to dissolve the clot and limit the extent of the damage.
Merci: A flexible tapered wire is used to retrieve clots in cerebral blood vessels. This device restores blood flow to the affected area of the brain and extends the treatment window for stroke.
Intracranial angioplasty: Stents are used in patients with recurring strokes to provide structural support for intracranial vessels with accumulation of fatty deposits. This results in a decreased risk of future stroke.
Carotid Stenting: Since carotid stenosis is a major cause of stroke, a stent is delivered into the carotid artery to open the narrowing of the carotid artery. This procedure is less invasive than a carotid endarterectomy, surgical removal of the plaque in theartery.
Intracranial Aneurysm Coiling: A soft, platinum coil is threaded through a catheter into the aneurysm of the cerebral vessel (wall of an artery in the brain weakens and "balloons" outward). The coil is released, filling the aneurysm and sealing it off from the rest of the blood vessel, preventing a brain aneurysm rupture which can cause hemorrhagic stroke and death.

P. S. I love the many different ways that you describe Mikey. . .
Yes and thank you for asking. And thanks for the interest in my work, I appreciate it very much.
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you which picture I mean
I mean "My Sunshine".
your cat Mikey is gorgeous!
It's sad that he was born deaf, but he looks so happy.
I use to wish that Mikey could hear like the other cats, especially when he was a kitten I wished for this the most. But now I know that being deaf is a huge part of what makes Mikey who he is. His deafness creates a calm within him that you don't see with cats that can hear. Mikey is not skittish at all obviously but there is something nice about that. I love the fact that he will cuddle with me all night long without being disturbed by the sounds of the night. He is such a cuddle bug. Thank you.
You're welcome, this cat is absolute the beautiest white cat I've ever seen. I love her eyes.
I would like to draw a portret of her in pastel chalk, but I think it will not be fair if I might sell that drawing to strangers who don't own this cat, right?

Hi, all,
I wrote an ejbSelect method which would return more than 1000 bean instances after a query.
But I found all other methods (say, findByPrimaryKey or the getter/setters) would be slowed down after the particular ejbSelect method is invoked. actually, it appears that they are just blocked. yet everything is okay if the resultset is small enough (e.g.under 50).
I studied the JBoss for-pay-documents and tried hard to configure it, but all in vain. I remained almost all the default settings of the standardjboss.xml file.
But a large resultset is a quite common scenario, right? (for example, all the topics of a forum...) I believe I've missed some configuration thing, but what's that, please?
It's an entity bean with local interfaces. called by a session bean.

Where can I find this in the United States?
I searched but nothing popped up, strangely enough.
07-01-2010, 10:20
Never heard of it, never seen it. Since J.T.S. Brown is a bottom-shelf brand, I find it hard to believe they ever did a 10-year-old. For Japan, maybe. Is that where you saw it?

For Japan, maybe. Is that where you saw it?
I found it here (http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kawachi/jts10years/) in Japan.

What proof is that? I'm a fan of the BiB and would love to try a bottle of that.
07-01-2010, 13:45
Wow. Was there an older, pre-HH version of that?

86 proof............................

It's 86 proof (43%):
Sorry. Didn't see barturtle's reply.

Wow. Was there an older, pre-HH version of that?
No, that's just something created for the Japanese market. Heaven Hill has had J.T.S. Brown for a long time, more than 20 and maybe close to 30 years.
Double-digit age statements are still a big deal in Japan, which is where the trend to extra-aged bourbons began. They were used to 12+ year old scotches and didn't see why bourbon shouldn't be that old too. It just so happened that the Kentucky distilleries were in the midst of the great glut at the time, so they had an abundance of just such whiskeys. Heaven Hill sells a lot of different labels at 10, 12 and 15 years over there, as well as some up to 30 years.

Some of the most frequently asked questions about cannabis seeds and growing marijuana answered.
Q: Do all weed seeds sprout ?
A: With most common types of cannabis a minimum of 75% of the seeds sprout. The better brands as promoted on this website have 90%+ success rate. In other words, if you buy a packet of ten seeds then you should expect a least nine to be good (although usually all are viable seeds).
Q: How should one store weed seeds ?
A: Weed seeds should be kept dry, cool and in a dark place like the refrigerator.
Q: For how long do weed seeds stay good ?
A: Three years is the general rule of thumb. After that the chance of germinating starts to decrease. Having said that, cannabis seeds found buried with Egyptian Pharaohs thousands of years ago still sprouted!
Q: When can I grow weed outdoors ?
A: In the UK & Ireland, North Western Europe and British Columbia weed can be started early April to early June – sometime in May being preferred. In North Eastern Europe and Canada the third week of May (after frost have lifted) is preferred.
Q: When can I place my sprouts in the sun or under lamps ?
A: If the sprouts have two or more leaves, they are strong enough to enjoy direct sunlight or the light of lamps.
Q: When does the weed plant start to flower ?
A: The weed plant starts to flower when the days get shorter and the nights get longer (after June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere). When you grow weed plants indoors 12 hours cycles of light and darkness will induce flowering.
Q: When should I start harvesting ?
A: When the female cannabis plant are mature – which can be observed by the colours of the flower hairs. When 75 % of the hairs have changed from white to orange the plant should be harvested.
Featured cannabis – Lowryder
Lowryder are different from most marijuana plants – they are auto-flowering. Which means they flower from the beginning, regardless of daylight and darkness ratios.
Great for late planting. Best harvest after 8 to 9 weeks.
Possibly the easiest marijuana plant to grow outdoors anywhere. For more information and how to get Lowryder seeds click the link.

some bad stuff is going down
Chapter Twenty Seven
Just as Trent came back with my drink and I had taken a sip of it, the door opened and in stepped Josh with Sara behind him. Sara's face brightened.
"Ella!" I smiled stood up, ignoring Josh and gave Sara
a hug.
"Hey, you had a good Christmas Eve right?"
"It was alright." Sara said glaring at Josh's scowl. He
was looking at Trent like he wanted to kill him, sighed.
"Josh, would you stop it, it's not polite to scowl at
someone nor be rude in front of everyone, yes you hate Trent.
Good for you." I said and back slapped the back of his head. Josh
turned to me. His scowl was still in place, I raised my eyebrow
at him and crossed my arms. "Get out Josh, leave Sara and go for
a walk before I do something I'm gonna regret and you too." I
said, grabbing Sara's arm and pulled her towards the group. I
looked back at him and he was still there. "Joshua why the hell
are you acting like this?" Josh's gaze went to Trent's.
"I want you out of my sisters life, starting now."
Trent, looked at me and back at Josh.
"I don't think so." Josh growled, went up to Trent
grabbed his shirt and pulled him up. I got up and shoved Josh
away from Trent with ease.
"Joshua what is going on? Why do you hate Trent? He's
never done anything to you!"
"I don't want him anywhere near you Ella, you've heard
about him being a player and asshole why the hell are you staying
by him? He's just gonna use you." I took a deep breath, but angry
flew in me. I raised my hand and slapped Josh across the face. He
fell on the ground holding his cheek. "How the hell did you do
that? Your human!" I looked around surprised. I looked at
"Oh, um well this happens with humans when they are
having halfling's they sorta become more powerful kinda like
there a halfling them selfs. You just have more power because of
the baby." I blinked, and gasped as I heard crashing. I looked
over Josh had tackled Trent and was punching him in the
"Josh what the hell?!" Drake sprung up and yanked Josh
away as he got a punch to his own face.
"You ass, you got my little sister pregnant!" I ran
over to Trent and dropped to him, ignoring Josh's screaming.
"Are you alright?" Trent nodded as blood gushed out of
his nose. "Oh, I'm so sorry."
"It's ok butterfly I've been through worse." Sara went
over to Josh and look him up and down.
"Your an idiot, he's way older than you and you take
him on. That is not fair Joshua he wouldn't fight back cause your
Ella's brother. I have no idea where you went, but you can't
control Ella's life its not fair and she is old enough. Now go
sit down before I drag you there." Josh nodded and held his jaw
while Drake said.
"I will not except fighting in my club nor in front of
my children and wife, you will apologies and soon. Understood?"
Josh sighed.
"Yes, my maker." All the noise woke Daniella up, and
she started crying. Carla rushed over to Dani and held her.
"It's alright Elly." Carla said soothing her, Josh
looked up at Drake.
"You named your daughter after my sister?"
"Yes, she's part of my family like you are. She is your
sister, my kids Aunt and Trent's mate. She is family." Josh
looked up at Trent.
"You actually took my sister as your mate?" Trent
nodded. "Oh. Well I guess I am sorry, if you took her for a mate,
perhaps your not a bad guy after all." Trent chuckled, and wiped
the blood off.
"Little to late, but that's alright." The door opened
again, and in stepped Thea.
"What happened?" Thea asked, when she saw Josh and
Trent hurt. I shook my head.
"Male fighting, what else. Can you heal Trent, Thea?"
Thea nodded, and came up to Trent waving her hand over Trent
nose. It glowed and was good as new. She went over to Josh and
ran her fingers along his jaw and it glowed
"You did a number on my brother, did her deserve it?"
Josh's eyes flashed.
"Trenton's your brother?"
"Yup, my twin, I'm assuming by the way you look he
didn't deserve his beating, but he does need a good fight once in
awhile." Thea laughed and stood up. "There all healed." Thea
smiled and went up to Trent.
"Guess what?" She asked, excited. Trent looked at his
"You got laid?" Thea laughed.
"Well, for once no, guess again?" Trent thought for a
"Met a girl you like?" Thea eyes danced. "You did?"
Thea nodded.
"The thing is she's a Were." Trent groaned.
"Why, must you always go for the hard to get?"
"She's not a push over, I love it!" Everyone laughed,
and Sam got up.
"Well, that's good Thea you need someone that give you
a good work out to have." Thea nodded.
"How's Lila doing?" Sam laughed.
"Just fine, over there playing with Deon with the
blocks." Thea looked over, nodded and when over to play. Trent
looked hard at Thea and back at me. He whispered in my ear,
"She's in love, I can tell." I looked over at Thea and
nodded, so she was. Another vampire ran into the club gasping he
looked scared.
"Drake, Carla we have a problem. Frank has declared
another War!" The whole club was silent, and Drake growled.
"That bastard if he wants a war he will have one, Carla
notify the packs in the area, Sam tell every vamp in our kingdom
to prepare, we are on the roll." He took a deep breath. "Anything
"He's working with Queen Athena, and has been for so
long he helped her breach us last time and he is determined to
have this kingdom and some human named Ella Makyla." My eyes
popped open and for the first time in my life, I fainted.
Trent's POV
NO! My mind screamed and I saw Ella looked
surprised, her eyes rolled in the back of her head and I knew she
was fainting, I caught her before she hit the ground. Ned looked
down at me.
"Is she Ella?" I nodded, and looked down at my
butterfly, she was breathing, but in quite a shock, she must be
so afraid. I slid my arms around her, picked her up and carried
her to the couch, Josh got up and I laid her
down. I got down on my knees and sighed brushing her hair out of
her face, everyone was in a rush and their concern for Ella was
obvious. Sara came over and kneeled down with me.
"She'll be alright Trenton, she's tough and everyone
will protect her, look she's coming to." Ella groaned, her arm
had slung over her stomach in her faint and she stretched.
"I fainted, didn't I?"
"Yes, but everything is alright babe. We should stay
here the night just in case though."
"That's fine." Just then baby Ella cried out, she was
in her crib thrashing. Drake ran to his baby girl.
"Dani, whats wrong." He picked her up and soothed her,
she was still thrashing a bit. He placed a hand on her head and
felt it, his eyes widened. Ella sat up.
"Drake whats going on." Drake bit his lip and looked
over to Ella.
"My little babe has gotten her sisters powers, but a
little different she can show them."
"Is it something bad?" I asked, worried.
"No, just some images of us running around and yelling
nothing really." Ella seemed to relax, but I knew Drake was
"Drake bring Dani we will feed her and talk about
tactics." He nodded, held his babe to him and walked over to the
bar away from Ella. I looked back at her, she was talking to
Sara. "Alright Drake, spill what did Dani really see?" Drake
sigh, giving baby Ella her bottle.
"A few good things and a possible bad thing that may
happen. The good things will happen the bad thing, maybe."
"Ok, spill!"
"Ella is going to have a baby boy, he's going to be
named after someone you love. Two Ella is going to be turned into
vampire in a few years, and three last thing if we lose this war
you will die in front of Ella and it will forever be in her
Ella's POV
I watched Trent and Drake talk at the bar while Drake
fed baby Ella her bottle of blood. I sighed, and looked around
Sara came over with my cup of blood not being disgusted by it and
I took it sipping on it gently as my stomach was spinning
"Ella, this war, it sounds very serious."
"It is, no one in five millenniums have tried to over
take another's kingdom. This is gonna be bad." Sara bit her lip
worried, and gave her stomach a gentle rub. "Baby upset?" Sara
nodded, and curled her feet under her butt.
"She gets easily upset when the atmosphere is
"She?" Sara smiled.
"Yes, doctor Malcolm told me that I was having a girl
last week, cause I'm five months he could tell." I smiled
"Good, I'm getting another niece." Sara laughed.
"Yes, plus all the other bundles in this room." Sara
looked around Molly and the others had been put down for a nap.
Rain was talking on her cellphone holding Zane rocking him to
sleep, he was cuddled to her his face in the crock of her neck
and on her hip. She closed her cell and walked over to me.
"Why don't you grabbed Trenton over there and come with
me so we can get your check up done?" I nodded, stood up ruffled
Zane's sleeping head and walked up to Trent.
"Babe, Rain wants to get the check up done." Trent
looked over at me and smiled.
"Ok, I'll talk to you later Drake." Drake nodded, Trent
wrapped an arm around my waist squeezed me and walked up the
stairs. Rain was in an room I assumed was used as the medical
room, there was two twin beds, a tray of scissors, needles,
scalps,and antiseptic pads. Right next to that was a portable
x-ray machine and a ultrasound.
Rain turned around to us, smiling.
"Well, just because of this war doesn't mean we can't
celebrate, so lets see that little one." I nodded, as Rain patted
one of the close beds, I sat down on it and Rain shook a bottle
of gel. I grimaced, it looked cold as hell, Rain just smirked.
"Lean back on the bed, and pull your shirt up and your pants
passed your hips." I rolled up my shirt laid down and pulled my
pants down until it was at my panties level. Rain squirted the
gel in a circle around my stomach, I squeaked my eyes flashing up
to Rain's. "Everyone does that."
"They squeak?" Trent chuckled.
"No, butterfly just you squeak." Har har
"So funny, but I'm sure if you felt this stuff you
would make some objection to it. It's cold and weird feeling."
Trent just shook his head and kissed my forehead. Rain smiled,
turning on the ultrasound it flicked and came to life, clicking a
few buttons Rain grabbed the scanner of sorts and gently placed
it on my stomach, rubbing the gross gel around she went lower on
my tummy.
I had a tiny curve on my tummy and right where my
stomach mets my pelvis Rain stopped, she ran the scanner along
that part and smiled more.
"Ella look." Rain pointed to the screen, I looked at
it and there was a little fetus, cute and very small. I saw the
side of the screen counting the beats of my baby's heart beat per
minute. "This little one is doing just fine for being blood
deficient, you need to eat and drink blood more." I nodded,
alright with that and took a glance at Trent his face was full of
joy and something I envied love. I knew I shouldn't be jealous of
my babe, but I am the little one had been able to capture Trent's
heart with just one look. *Wish I could do that.*
"Hey, butterfly?" I sat up a little and looked over
at Trent, he was smiling. "Do you wanna know if the baby is a boy
or a girl?"
"Isn't it too soon?"
"Yes, but thanks to Drake's enlightening I know." I
shook my head.
"I want it to be a surprise, more fun that way."
Trent's mouth twitched.
"Wanna make a bet?"
"Now that's a stupid thing to do, no I
"Fine, fine. No fun, but what do you think it
"I don't care as long as it's healthy, hell I
wouldn't mind for twins." Rain snorted.
"Sorry Elly only one little darling in there." Trent
stood back on his heels.
"Shame, oh well next time butterfly we'll get twins."
I rolled my eyes.
"So certain I'd want another babe with you." Trent
was enjoying our playful banter.
"Of course I am, I'm Trenton Vantenio the hottest guy
of Lakewood."
"Such ego you have." Trent nodded as his cell rang.
He frowned, picking it up. Rain pulled the scanner away from me,
wiping the gel off and I pulled my clothes down. Trent started
"Kira, what in the world do you want me to do about
this?" Kira's voice could be somewhat heard over the
"Run him off? Babe you need to act like the alpha you
are and stand up to him, does he tip your unused libido?" Trent
was smirking. Her voice grew and I heard her
"Trenton! That is not funny my libido is used as
often as yours is."
"Every other day more than once?" He asked laughing.
I snorted and grabbed the phone from him.
"Ignore him Kira it's Ella, he gets it once a month
if he's lucky." Kira laughed.
"I'm sure you use him more than that, do you think
your up to visit again today?" I nodded, happily.
"Yea I been feeling better a bit, I'd love to visit,
by the way any chance you've seen Thea around a
"Yes, Jason's sister Kristy is here visiting and Thea
and her are glued to the hip."
"Is this Kristy not part of your
"Not part of the wolfs either she's a panther, and so
is here annoying younger brother Jason."
"Is Jason the guy you were talking
"Yes, he's so I don't know how to explain it, it's
obvious he wants to sleep together, but he may want more than
that and I'm not up for that."
"What if he's your mate?"
"I hope not." I snorted.
"See you in a few."
"Yup." And Kira hung up.
"Come on Trent we are visiting the pack and your
gonna deal."
"Whatever I want to check out the dude who's rattling Kira its unusual for her to be so out of it."

Facebook Messenger Android update adds Chat Heads
updated 12:34 pm EDT, Fri April 12, 2013
Messaging system from Facebook Home included without launcher
Facebook has rolled out part of its upcoming Facebook Home launcher in an Android app update, before the company released its new phone software initiative. Facebook Messenger (Google Play) now has the option to enable the Chat Heads pop-up contacts onto phones and tablets, without the need to install the complete Facebook Home suite itself.
Incoming messages will cause a Chat Head for a contact to appear on the side of the screen, if enabled within Facebook Messenger. Facebook conversations and SMS messages will work through the app, which also appears to work on devices other than the ones due to receive Facebook Home later today.
The main Facebook (Google Play) app itself also received an update on Android, with an option in the menu to "Enable Facebook Home." At the time of writing, selecting the option opens the Google Play store, but fails to load a product listing.

iAd gets Media Ratings Council aaccreditation
updated 04:06 pm EDT, Thu May 23, 2013
MRC 'favorably impressed' by metrics available to advertisers
The Media Ratings Council has awarded full accreditation to Apple's iAd, the first mobile ad platform to achieve that status, says Advertising Age. The accreditation reflects iAd's compliance with standards set by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the Mobile Marketing Association. That includes accurate reporting of data such as taps, visits, views, impressions, conversations, and average time spent.
"We were favorably impressed with the range of metrics that iAd provides and their quality," an MRC executive is quoted as saying. "It gives the buy and the sell side confidence that the measurements are accurate and can be relied upon as currency."
MRC accreditation is an expensive prospect, costing $100,000. Only a relatively small group of ad networks are currently trying for it, including Google's DoubleClick. For Apple the approval may be important in convincing more advertisers to accept iAd, which has been problematic since the network's launch in 2010. Apple originally demanded a $1 million minimum buy, but tepid response led the company to cut the minimum to $500,000, $300,000, and eventually $100,000. It even boosted the developer revenue slice from 60 percent to 70. Since then, Apple hasn't talked much publicly about iAd's performance.

New mayor, City Council members sworn into office
January 28, 2014
By Peter Clark
Issaquah Municipal Court Judge Scott Stewart swore in Issaquah's new mayor and four new City Council members Jan. 6.
During the first regular City Council meeting of 2014, Stewart offered congratulations to the line of those he led into office.
Mayor Fred Butler and councilmembers Eileen Barber, Stacy Goodman, Tola Marts and Mary Lou Pauly all took the oath of office.
"Let me say that I am honored in the trust the citizens of Issaquah has placed in me," Butler said in prepared remarks after taking his oath. "I'm really excited to be mayor and I will do my best to lead with wisdom and compassion."
After 14 years on the council, he took the time to honor outgoing mayor Ava Frisinger on her 16 years of service as mayor. She spent 10 years on the council before that.
"I would like to acknowledge Ava Frisinger who has set an outstanding example I hope to emulate," Butler continued. "I'm somewhat sad to be leaving the council. I pledge to continue the good relations we have established between the council and the administration."
The council voted Councilman Paul Winterstein as the new council president, replacing Butler, and Goodman into the deputy council president position. The council president leads meetings in the mayor's absence.

Former Lead Trainer at the Scotland Yard Hostage Crisis Negotiation Unit
I remember in my years as a hostage negotiator just how important preparation really was, even in the car on the way to an incident.
A while back, a fellow hostage negotiator and I received a call to attend a suicide intervention. A young man was threatening to jump off a bridge. While it was tempting to spend the car journey in silence with our own thoughts, in fact we spent the entire time plotting our options and rehearsing our opening lines.
If you had been in that Toyota Yaris witnessing my colleague and I shouting and swearing at each other, you'd have thought we had gone mad.
But we hadn't.
By the time we arrived at the scene, we already knew who was going to do what, how we were going to introduce ourselves and, most importantly, our opening lines. We had also rehearsed our possible responses to the man in crisis – depending on whether he swore at us, shouted at us, remained silent or started to talk. We could not know what he was going to say but we gave ourselves the best chance at getting our response right.
Our preparation time had enabled us to talk through the possible reactions of the person involved and even the possible reasons for him being there. None of the time spent going to the scene was wasted in idle chit-chat or nervous silence. Frankly, too much was at stake.
My 1st tip:
When you rehearse for a meeting or a pitch (or any other form of presentation), rehearse in the first person. I see so many people talking through their presentation rather than actually doing it. There is no better way of testing whether it works than actually saying it out loud, as if you are actually doing it. Make sure you have a friend who will listen critically and tell you if your choice of words is right. If they tell you to change then listen to their advice.
I have been there when the opening line to a person in crisis has made the situation 10 times worse than it was when we arrived.
The reason? We hadn't practiced.
I will admit: in my early days I fell foul of this lack of rehearsal.
I don't now.
In any negotiation, there is one fundamental outcome that every negotiator is aiming to achieve – the safe return of everyone to their family. We do not want anyone to die and everything we do is aimed at protecting life.
To achieve this, every negotiator bears in mind the following quote. I do not know who said it or where I first heard it, but it's the one thing I think of throughout all my negotiations, whether it is with a hostage taker, a business leader or even my children.
"When you communicate your ideas clearly, specifically, visually, in the context of the other persons values, beliefs and view of life, you significantly increase the value of your ideas"
In other words it is all about them it is not about you
In conclusion, remember the following:
Good preparation and rehearsal helps you to establish trust and rapport faster and starts you on the journey to discovering what makes the other person tick and how they see life.

Local residents still thawing out from this week's ice storm might not want to hear about winter weather, but the National Weather Service said snow is heading for York County.
About 1 to 2 inches will accumulate from Saturday morning through Monday, said meteorologist Elyse Colbert.
"It's nothing major, but it will be somewhat prolonged. There will be snow on and off for two days," she said.
It will be nothing compared to this week's ice storm, Colbert said.
Temperatures will drop this weekend to highs in the upper 20s and low 30s, with lows in the mid teens, she said.
"It's definitely going to be cold, especially for anyone who still doesn't have power," Colbert said.
Tuesday will offer a reprieve with sun and a high near 26.
But there's another chance of snow Wednesday, she said.
"It's unclear how much. It's still too early to say," Colbert said.

Okay, seen a lot of companies come and go when it comes to competing with paypal (anybody remember stormpay?).
Then google, amex, and amazon jumped in with their own schemes, none of which ever really gained traction.
Now comes facebook!
We all know how huge they are and how many people use facebook daily.
Facebook had their own digital currency, but recently dropped it for real money in dollars, yen, pounds, etc.
Now they are in talks with major banks to have facebook be the gateway to those banks.
Last month, the company made a very significant announcement, when it revealed that it would ditch Facebook Credits (historically used to pay for virtual goods within Facebook app) in favor of real, native currencies (Dollars, Pounds, Yen, etc.).
The company didn't reveal any specific plans to offer payments for goods and services in the physical world, but the move clearly puts Facebook in a position to compete more directly with PayPal (which you can use to pay at places like Starbucks, by the way).
Over 900 million people have Facebook accounts, which are easily accessible via mobile phones, in users' pockets at most times of the day. If Facebook can convince users to keep their money tied to their Facebook accounts, the company could have a tremendous advantage in the payments space, particularly since users are already spending so much time interacting with content with those accounts.
Facebook obviously has a major hurdle to climb before the majority of users start putting their money into their Facebook accounts, or doing any banking with them. The company doesn't exactly have the greatest reputation when it comes to user privacy, and that's a major problem when you're talking about money.
So, can facebook jump the hurdles in the way, like privacy and hackers, etc?
If so, would you do your banking with them?
Would you use them instead of paypal?

The Surprising Inspiration Behind the 'Fast & Furious' Franchise
See what Paul Walker, left, and Vin Diesel share with 'The Golden Girls' (Photo: Universal Pictures/Everett Collection)
One could even argue its heart is true and that it's been a pal and a confidant to its loyal and expanding fan base.
Oh we could keep going.
Jokes aside, "Fast & Furious 6" director Justin Lin, who has now helmed four of the car-themed action films, has revealed an unexpected, if not quirky, inspiration that informed his vision for the popular movie series: a very special episode of the hit '80s show "The Golden Girls."
Yes, before Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and a slew of other "Fast" stars ever conceived of going behind the wheel, it was Betty White, Rue McClanahan, Estelle Getty, and Bea Arthur who were blowing Lin's mind.
Let us explain.
Justin Lin, right, and Paul Walker on the set of 'Fast & Furious 6' (Photo: Universal Pictures)
When he took over the series for 2006's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," he knew he had to spice it up with some of that hurricane action. "That was a critical point in the direction of the franchise," Lin said. "We were talking about the mythology, how all these characters are connected."
Diesel was in the first "Fast" film, and Eva Mendes – along with a whole new cast that included Tyrese Gibson and rapper Ludacris – was in the second. (And Walker has been in every "Fast" film except for "Tokyo Drift.") In "Drift," Lin blew everyone's mind with that "Golden Girls" hurricane episode effect when Diesel showed up in the last scene, reprising his role as Dominic. Lin rounded out that world-expanding effect by doing something similar with Eva Mendes's character in 2011's "Fast Five" -- putting her in a post credit scene and dropping the bombshell that Rodriguez's character Letty is in fact alive. He also added Dwayne Johnson aka the Rock to the mix in that installment – which further expanded the universe of "Fast" heroes.

Five observations from TCU's 56-0 win over Grambling State
TCU introduced its recently renovated stadium in dominating fashion. In their first game as Big 12 members, the Horned Frogs walloped Grambling State in their season opener, 56-0. They outgained Tigers, 531-70, cruising to a 42-0 halftime lead before backup quarterback Trevone Boykin scored twice in the third quarter to cap the game's scoring. TCU will play its Big 12 opener against Kansas next weekend. Here are five observations from the game:
1. Patterson becomes TCU all-time wins leader
Horned Frogs head coach Gary Patterson became the program's winningest head coach, passing Dutch Meyer with his 110th victory at TCU's helm. He is 110-30 (.786) since taking over as the Horned Frogs head coach in 2000.
2. TCU sets tone with strong first half
TCU scored in all three phases in the first quarter, getting a 70-yard punt return from Deante' Gray to start things off before Waymon James ran it in from one yard out, Elisha Olabode returned an interception 28 yards for a score, and Casey Pachall found Brandon Carter for a 21-yard touchdown pass. Josh Boyce caught both of his touchdowns in the second quarter as the Horned Frogs racked up 335 yards in the first half and held Grambling State to 26 yards on 22 plays.
3. Inexperienced defense leaves no doubt
TCU's defense didn't look like a unit that had most of its starters graduate or get kicked off the team. Instead, it played like previous defenses under Patterson that consistently finished among the best in the country, holding Grambling State to 26 yards passing and 44 rushing. Dawrence Roberts, who ran for more than 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns last year, was limited to nine yards on seven carries Saturday night.
4. Quarterbacks perfect, go 17-for-17
TCU's first incompletion will have to wait until next week as Casey Pachall went 9-for-9 though the air in the first half, throwing for 201 yards and three touchdowns. Freshman Trevone Boykin, who beat out Matt Brown for the backup quarterback spot, completed all eight of his passes in the second half, throwing for 75 yards and a touchdown in his TCU debut. Grambling State's D.J. Williams and Frank Rivers combined to go 5-for-17 with 26 yards and an interception.
5. TCU extends nation's longest winning streak
The Horned Frogs have now won nine straight games, the most in the country. Their 24-game win streak in conference play is also the nation's longest and it will be put on the line against Kansas next weekend.

The Big East will be known as the American Athletic Conference, the league announced today.
Commissioner Mike Aresco made the announcement after unanimous approval by the Conference's Board of Directors.
"We engaged our fans through social media and focus groups in multiple cities, and we conducted extensive quantitative research," Aresco said. "We also received terrific input from our partners at ESPN and CBS Sports. Our name is a nod to tradition, but at the same time makes clear our determination to be a Conference with national impact and appeal."
Beginning with the 2014-15 academic year, the American Athletic Conference will include the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, East Carolina University, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, Southern Methodist University, the University of South Florida, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa. The U.S. Naval Academy will become a football-only member in 2015. With 12 football schools in the fold by 2015, it will play a football championship game.
The Catholic school members of the Big East, including Providence College, will retain the conference name.

Bertram "Bobby" Gerry, 87, of Gile, Wis., died peacefully Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012, at Keen Agers in Wakefield, under the compassionate care of the Keen Agers' staff and Regional Hospice Services.

He was united in marriage to the former Phyllis J. Durand on Nov. 22, 1947, at the First Presbyterian Church in Hurley, by the late Rev. C.L. Harries. Phyllis preceded him in death on Sept. 2, 1997.

Besides his parents and wife, Bobby was preceded in death by a daughter, Heidi Gerry, in 1965; and two sisters, Dorothy Schimke and Doreen Heilig.
Out of respect for his wishes, cremation has taken place.
Memorial services will be held Saturday, Oct. 27, at 10:30 a.m., preceded by visitation at 9:30 a.m., at McKevitt-Patrick Funeral Home, 305 N. Lowell St., in Ironwood, with the Rev. Todd Winkler officiating.

she's got a profile like a damn Neanderthal
How many shots to the face is she gonna take?
I cant even find the words to begin to explain how disgusting this photo is.
Few things disgust me to the point where I simply cannot look…this picture is one of those things.
Anyone smoking anything in a picture looks rediculous and stupid,because when I see someone smoking all I can think of is how their hair and clothes smell like cigarettes,their breath must smell like an old ass ash tray and the fact that they´re chewing on cancer sticks – but this picture right here just made me puke in my own mouth.
Inhaling second hand smoke directly from someone elses mouth is disgusting,and I have seen this girl squirt out of her ass and thought nothing of it.
I wish she´d OD already.
I don't know much about hookah smoking, but it's my understanding that it's not the same as cigarettes.

How smart are phones in fighting crime?Comment on this story
Johannesburg - The increasing use of smartphones by neighbourhood watch groups may lead to a reduction of crime, but it is also fraught with the dangers of hoaxes and privacy issues.
Some crime-combating groups have started their own BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) groups in a bid to keep residents informed about dangers in their areas. "It is an effective and quick method to dispatch patrollers to a scene," said Derek Gouws, the secretary and patroller of the Alberton North Community Policing Forum.
"As people work in different areas, and not always having their radios available, BBMs are the answer," he said in a BBM interview.
"Also in some instances you don't want lots of people on scene after hearing calls on radio."
In another technological way to fight crime, Apple products have a tracing function on the iCloud system once the Find My iPad/iPhone application has been installed on the device. Logging on from a remote computer, users can send a contact number to the device in case a good Samaritan happens to find it, but all other information will be locked.
Last June, Andrew Haynes and his family helped police catch a group of four armed men after they tracked their Apple devices on the iCloud system to Tembisa.
Dr Johan Burger, a senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies, said the BBM neighbourhood watches and the tracing function on Apple products should definitely reduce crime.
"The increasing use of developing technology could be used as an advantage by neighbourhood watches and all other kinds of security associations,
"There should be closer co-operation between non-policing forums and police for them to make the best use of this kind of technology," said Burger.
However, there are dangers as messages can be incorrect - or hoaxes.
Police spokeswoman Warrant Officer Annabelle Middleton urged the public not to forward these messages to other people, but to rather contact the police with any information they might have.
She said if police verified that a BBM was a hoax, the origin of the message would be investigated by police.
In July last year a BBM message did the rounds which said hijackers had stolen a car with a baby still in the back.
Eventually it turned out that the car had not been stolen but was returned home by the baby's father, after the child had been left in the car while his mother was allegedly in a drug house.
At the time, Middleton said the messages had spread "like wildfire".
Burger also warned that people should get expert legal advice before using BBM's or Apple's tracing function on behalf of others.
"The ordinary civilian who is part of a neighbourhood watch cannot do everything that the police or intelligence agencies would be allowed to do. Even they (intelligence agencies) need authorisation before they can apply certain technologies," said Burger. - The Star

Chicago De La Salle High School shooting guard Alvin Ellis became the first player to join Tubby Smith's 2013 recruiting class after giving an oral commitment Sunday, Sept. 23, to play for the Gophers' coach next season.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Ellis picked Minnesota over Kansas State, Butler and Northwestern. The three-star prospect averaged 16 points a game to lead his team last season as a junior, which included a 42-point performance in this final game.
"I'm excited about coming in and trying to play, and just the atmosphere of playing in the Barn," Ellis said Sunday. "I think I can bring scoring, a lot of scoring to the team. I'm also active on defense. I just try to be an all-around player."
Ellis' goal is to "average 30 points" a game as a high school senior this season.
Smith and Gophers assistant coach Vince Taylor visited Ellis last week in Chicago. Ellis and his former De La Salle teammate Alex Foster, a 6-8 forward at Seton Academy in Illinois, made an official trip to Minnesota over the weekend. They also attended the football team's 17-10 victory over Syracuse at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday.
"Alvin really loved his visit, and he especially got along great with the guys on the team, guys like Austin Hollins (and Andre Hollins)," De La Salle coach Tom White said. "Those players remind him of the players we have here. The Gophers got themselves a really good all-around player. I can't wait to see him play in the Big Ten next year.
