PARKER - Columbine football coach Andy Lowry is known for his calm demeanor.
No matter how well his teams play, Lowry never gets wrapped up in the result, instead preferring to keep his focus on what lies next for his team.
This year, though, things are different, both for the Columbine football team, and for Lowry, who showed a burst of emotion in the post-game huddle after his team surprised many with a 21-13 victory over Chaparral in the second round of the Class 5A state tournament at Burt.com Stadium.
BOULDER — Over the years, Columbine's Achilles heel as been turnovers.
When the Rebels maintain a firm grasp on the football, they typically stand a good chance at winning. When the ball slips from their grasp, well, the results aren't so good.
For three quarters of Columbine's Class 5A state quarterfinal game against No. 2 Fairview, Columbine's ball security was good. Its defense was even better.
The 10th-seeded Rebels swarmed the Knights from the opening kickoff and after three quarters, the underdog Rebels had a 7-0 lead.
Jeffco voters soundly rejected the idea of increasing term limits so elected officials could run for three consecutive terms, but the proposal may not be dead.
"In a couple years I might bring this back in a different form and do a better job of it," said Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey, the originator of the latest term-limit extension effort in Jeffco. "I never close the door on anything I do."
The term "blues club" conjures images of a smoky bar tucked into an eclectic street in the heart of a big city. But the Blue Moo'd Lounge is hoping to bring that same ambience to South Jeffco. Brother-sister team Tim and Terrie Bentley opened the bar and restaurant a few months ago, and the siblings are aiming to fill what they see as a jazz/blues void in the area. "This place is for the neighborhood folks that don't want to go downtown," Terrie Bentley said.
All good things come to an end, and for me, the time has come to leave the Columbine Courier.
I came to South Jeffco in September 2007 knowing virtually nothing about the area, outside of having visited Chatfield Reservoir as a child and watching the Columbine High School tragedy unfold while I was a junior at Eaglecrest High School in Aurora. I came here from Sterling for the chance to work in the Denver area, and had no idea how much I'd grow to appreciate this place.
After two years in development, planners have largely completed the first draft of the new Jefferson County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Now they are unveiling it to the public and seeking feedback.
Public comments are due by Nov. 9. The planning commission is scheduled to take action at a meeting Dec. 9 at 6:15 p.m., during which public testimony will be taken. (The Board of County Commissioners doesn't hold a hearing or vote on the plan.)
I have a confession: I am an unapologetic coffee snob.
Flipping the little red switch on my coffee maker to brew organic, shade-grown, fair-trade, dark roast is the first thing I do every morning, without fail.
I like it strong, uncorrupted by the likes of cream and sugar, which cover up the gentle bitterness and delicious, earthy undertones that follow every sip.
For me, nothing goes with my morning joe, with one exception. For that ingredient I stumble out my front door and begin the search for the reliable oblong bag hiding somewhere on my deck.
PARKER - The word underdog rarely has applied to the Columbine football program.
Usually, the Rebels are the big, bad wolf looking to blow down the houses of all the teams that stand in their way of a state championship.
That reputation has been well earned, thanks to more league titles than one can count and four state championships in the past 10 years.
New York City has long been known as the mecca of basketball.
Demitra Apergis has great appreciation for the intense battles wages on the courts in New York City, and soon, the Columbine senior will be right in the thick of its bright lights.
Apergis signed a national letter of intent with the New York Institute of Technology on Nov. 13 at Columbine High School. Apergis will attend the school on a basketball scholarship, and to say she's looking forward to college is an understatement.
I've had my share of senior moments the last week, more of them unforgettable than forgetful.
No single piece of mail can more brutally deliver mortality's sharp stick in the eye than the dreaded AARP membership packet, and my own little reminder of the five-decade milestone came when seniors and their concerns were uppermost on my mind.

Americans have
always been altruistic, quick to respond to victims' needs and ready to lend a
helping hand or much-needed cash. Unfortunately, scam artists know this charitable
trait well and often are waiting with a con to cheat both givers and recipients.
schemes come through the mail, via telephone and e-mail, and by knocks at the
door. While many legitimate organizations, such as the Red Cross and the Salvation
Army, collect for well-deserved and Internal Revenue Service-approved causes,
you need to be alert to scam artists.
Here's how to make sure
your heartfelt donations go to the right cause:
be rushed. Do not feel pressured to make an immediate commitment -- "deadlines"
are a characteristic of a scam. Ask the caller or e-mail sender to provide written
information on the charity's programs and finances before you make a contribution
Ask questions. Who
does this contribution assist? Does your organization intend to meet immediate
or long-term needs of those victimized by this tragedy, or both? How much goes
to victims? How much goes to administration? Even newly established charities
should have written material available describing their programs, anticipated
expenditures and how they will carry out activities.
it in writing. Always ask for and wait until you receive written material
about any offer or charity. Remember, telephone con artists are skilled at sounding
believable -- even when they're lying. There's no need to rush to a decision.
Verify. Always make an independent
verification of the solicitor's identity before sending a contribution. Call or
write the organization's headquarters. Contact your local charity registration
office (usually an arm of your state's attorney general's office) or the Better
Business Bureau's Wise
Giving Alliance to confirm.
on to your cash. Do not pay with cash. Use a check and make it out to the
organization, not the individual collecting the donation.
stingy with personal information. Do not give your credit card account
information over the telephone or online. Always check out the organization before
giving any personal information. This could be a ruse to obtain the card number
for illegitimate purposes.
Call the
authorities. If you cannot verify an organization or you are suspicious
of the solicitation, contact the police or the FBI.

2012 KickoffWritten by Lauren Pontbriant on January 07, 2012
FIRST Team 230, the Gaelhawks, headed into another exciting season with a thrilling kickoff on January 7, 2012. Students, mentors, and alumni gathered to watch the annual webcast. The anticipation rose as we waited for this year's game to be revealed. Finally, the moment came. They announced the game to us as Rebound Rumble.
The goal of Rebound Rumble is to score as many points as possible by getting foam basketballs through one of four of your alliance's hoops. The hoops are at 3 different heights, with the lowest at 28 in, the middle two at 61 in, and the highest at 96 in. An added challenge for the teams is the barrier running between the two sides. The only ways to cross the barrier are to roll over it or to use one of the bridges. In the last 15 seconds of the game, robots can balance on a bridge for extra points. A robot can balance with a robot from the other alliance on the middle bridge, resulting in more points.
Immediately after the webcast, our team broke off into small groups to discuss strategy. We listed our objectives in order of priority. Then, we made two lists, one of things to do and another of things to buy. We headed into the new season with a detailed plan for the future.

I went to the soccer game in Buenos Aires. It was like being at a Broadway musical. The favorite team, the Boca Juniors were playing and the singing was stupendous. That is how they cheer the team, by singing and singing and singing.
Now, the team did not perform that well and yet they were cheered on till the very end.
No alcohol is allowed in the stadium and there is a definite rule against making nasty comments about the other team. That also goes for no negatives even when the home team misses the goal over and over.
Certainly not what I was used to as a kid going to games in Philadelphia where some pretty gruff words were said and the shouting was often pretty down and mean.
However, the highlight of my time at the Boca Stadium was when I needed to get to a bathroom and all I saw were signs that said "Caballeros."
Now, my Spanish is pretty limited and yet I know this means "gentlemen." Yet nowhere was there a sign "Damas" or "Senora" or "Senorita."
Believe me I asked and asked. Finally a guard pointed and said, "OK, OK" and gently shoved me into a room with lots of closed stalls and lots of urinals. Well, I decided to be gutsy. No one was in there, they were all cheering and singing for the Boca Juniors.
And so I went.
As I walked out a kindly "Caballero" did a double take and I smiled and said, "OK, OK" and pointed for him to go in.
He smiled. I smiled. Back at our seats I asked our English speaking guide the best definition of caballero and his comment was, "To many it means 'a Knight'."
On the way out I looked for the ladies room and never saw one. Guess they just don't expect too many gals at the soccer games. And as Shakespeare would say, "All's well that ends well."

Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
WASHINGTON HEAD COACH Steve Sarkisian
Opening Statement:
"This is a really cool win for our team. I thought we executed in all three phases really well. I'll start on special teams. They have arguably the best kickoff returner in America and we didn't want to let that guy beat us. So we went into a pop-over mentality, and we sacrificed some field position in the game by doing so. And in turn it swung the field position in a manner that our offense got stuck with quite a few long fields throughout the game, and it put our defense in a situation where they were stuck with some short fields.
But we just didn't want to give up seven points on a kick-off return to a guy who's done it three times in the last two weeks. And what came out of that was I thought we played really good first down and second down defense, which allowed us to play amazing third down defense. It's unfortunate that we gave up that one long run there, but outside of that our defense was phenomenal. I think they only converted one third down all night. Our defense got to a point to where we covered well, we pressured enough, especially late in the game, and then for us offensively the third down conversions were awesome. I think we were about 50% in the first half, and then finished right around 50% for the ball game. We had good balance, which we always want to have.
I thought Bishop had another excellent night running the football. We kind of know what he is and know the types of runs he is going to have. 36 carries I think he had tonight for over 160 yards. The playmakers on offense made their plays, and Austin and Kasen. The role players made their plays when they had their chances, whether it was Kendal Taylor, what Evan Hudson brings, what Deondre Campbell brings, what Cody Bruns brings, what Jaydon Mickens brings. So that's kind of our mix, kind of our balance.
I thought it was by far and away Keith's best game of the year. I've kind of felt that coming over the last couple weeks. And I thought our offensive line did an abnormal job against a very good defensive front. So all in all, it's a great win against a good opponent. We are happy to be bowl eligible, but there's plenty of work still left to be done for this football team. We realize that, we understand that, and we'll get back to work here and try to get another one at Colorado."
Wide Receiver Cody Bruns
On winning on senior night
"Great win for us. It's a nice way for us to go out--our last game here. We've been together a long time so it's good to go out on top."
On impact of senior night
"It's more of a build up. You just want to get out there and start playing. So once you get out there it's nice to just start hitting people and playing the game."
On moving forward
"We have to refocus on Colorado. Get after them and keep going."
Center Drew Schaefer
On emotions of senior night
"Obviously it's great to win. We've put a lot of hard work in all season, especially this game week. There was a big emphasis on the o-line, a challenge for us. We just came out and played well, but there's still three games left in the season. We need to move past this and already start looking forward to Colorado next week."
On Bishop Sankey's success
"He makes us look really good. Sometimes it's not blocked perfectly, sometimes he has to beat or make someone miss. He's done an awesome job at that. He's run hard all season and I'm happy for him. And like I've said, there's a lot of time left in the season for him to keep going."
Four years as a Husky, how does it feel?
"It feels great now. We had a lot of ups and downs, a rough start, but the great thing about it is that we were a team. We went through it as a team today and we just had fun with each other. I wouldn't want to be on any other team than this one."
What can you say about Sark as a coach?
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. We had the players playing, but in order to have a great team you have to have a great leader, and Sark is that leader. We have our other leaders on the team, with the captains, but coach Sark is really the one who takes charge. Honestly we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. I am one of the only six from the 0-12 season. To go from that to this... Bowl eligible. The great thing about that is that we still have two games left, and we can just keep on winning and keep on playing and see where the ball takes us."
Individual game plan tonight
"I don't think it ever changes for a full back, I'm not going to get a fade route. That is just the beauty of this position, you do the dirty work. You have to give credit to the o-line, Bishop ran the ball really well, but the o-line did a great job too. I have to give credit to my guys, and Drew Schaefer is the leader of the o-line. I wouldn't want to be on any other team than this one."
Can you sum up your four years at UW, all the highs and lows?
"That's tough. It has been a roller coaster for me; you know coming in and not knowing what to expect and going 0-12 my first year and then just staying positive. Getting injured, and I was out for a year and a half and three new coaching staffs, there have been so many ups and downs. But, man I am proud of our guys, our seniors we stuck together and made it through. Here we are, bowl eligible, right now we are feeling good."
What can you say about Wilcox's defense?
"He is doing really great. His defense is only going to continue to get better. This is the first year and we are already making improvements. I am positive that you will see it continue to carry on in the next couple years, especially for the players coming in. Guys are learning the system and getting better at execution.
On cause of offensive struggles:
"We had a lot of drops, it was a throw game. When we look at where our deficiencies were, it was in the throw game. I thought we ran the ball okay, we had close to 150 yards rushing, which is about average, but our throw game was abysmal. Dropped too many balls, just never got in sync with throwing the football. We've got to be more balanced offensively."
On their defense:
"Defensively we've got to get more takeaways. This day and age in football you've got to create more than one takeaway in a football game and we didn't do that. The biggest turning point in the game, we are down 22-15 we get a stop, and we mishandle the punt and special teams turns it over, and we never recover from that. So instead of having all the momentum and the ball somewhere in the mid third quarter down 22-15, we turn it over, they capitalize on it, like I said we couldn't recover."
On what they've got to do differently:
"Well we've got to coach better, that's always a starting point is coaching, and doing a better job of getting the guys ready, better job scheming. But we've also got to do a better job of making more plays during the course of the game. We have done that the last two weeks, but we didn't do it today. "
On the Huskies:
"Give credit to the Huskies, they played well, particularly on defense. They are athletic and fast, that was very apparent, they are a fast football team and this is a tough venue to play in. But still, we've got to get better and we will, you know we have two games left, we are 4-6, we have no margin for error, so we've got to be ready to find a way to win, that's the bottom line. Can't win the second one till you win the first one."
Overall thoughts:
"This week, major step backwards, so we've got to get back to the drawing boards, but we'll find some things to build on and get ready for Arizona."
RB John White
On getting offensive consistency
We were running the ball well, but we need to pass more efficiently. We need to come out and execute and have more passion even in practice.
On running over 140 yards
The run was there. I guess guys weren't getting open efficiently to pass the ball. But the run was there; we just need to capitalize next week.
On scoring early in the game
We were just pounding the ball.
QB Travis Wilson
On his performance
I felt like I prepared enough and watched enough film. I think I just fell short.
On the level of play between their past two opponents and Washington
Washington is definitely a good team. They came out very physical on defense but for me I just needed to make more plays than I did.
On Washington's defense
They were definitely playing good coverage and covering our guys well. Their schemes were working well for them but I should have done a better job at throwing the football.
On the early touchdown
I think our running game was working the whole game. John White was working very hard as well.
RE Trevor Reilly
On ASJ's catch in the third quarter
We had two guys on him but he's just a big guy. We have to make the plays when they come. We missed some sacks and we should have had a couple of interceptions. You add those up and maybe those sacks turn into fumbles.
On having to win out for bowl eligibility
Our backs are against the wall. We're going to go out swinging, but either way we are going to try to come out and close to be bowl eligible.

Lauren + Drew met at a "Tacky Christmas Party" four years ago - clearly this was the theme of their engagement party! The invitations set the tone, looking, reading, and feeling like a Christmas Story. We mailed each guest a booklet full of rhymes explaining how Lauren + Drew met and requesting their presence at the party! The decor incorporated some of their family traditions and lots of tacky Christmas decor. We bargained shopped at thrift stores and Grandma's basements throughout St. Louis to come up with the decor. We put each staff member in a tacky Christmas t-shirt and even served Christmas inspired, cold cocktails! Guests even went home with a 2lb chocolate santa courtesy of Bissinger's Chocolate. It was the perfect night for my best friend and her fiancee!

There are three types of dreams classified by the stage of the night in which they occur. 1. Wishful Thinking- Just as you begin to fall asleep. 2. Predictive/ Pre-cognitive stage. 3. Venting Stage (Which is the most important stage in hypnotherapy) The Venting stage is the stage in which the body is attempting to vent or release the overload of messages accumulated during of the day. Dreams are individual things we deal with in hypnotherapy and clients are quite interested in how we approach dream interpretation. The focus is to guide the patient but it's the client who will ultimately interpret it. The suggestions, I make are intended to help the client be able to release any negative problems or complaints during this venting stage. Dreams will occur until they are interrupted.

Every visit to the New England Aquarium should include a stop at the seadragon exhibit. There are only two species of seadragon in the world, and this stunning exhibit displays both of them. The leafy seadragon and the weedy seadragon both use their exceptional camouflage to hide from hungry predators. Challenge yourself. How many seadragons can you find during your visit?
The 2,000-gallon seadragon exhibit is located on the second level of the New England Aquarium.
The New England Aquarium's seadragon exhibit houses weedy and leafy seadragons, and nearly 25 additional species of invertebrates and fishes that naturally coexist with seadragons in their habitat—Australia's temperate reefs.
Seadragons live in Australia's temperate reef, and our exhibit displays a little slice of this unique habitat. Unlike tropical coral reefs, these temperate reefs are dominated by seaweeds, boulders and soft corals. Aquarium artists hand made and painted the extremely realistic artificial rocks and corals in this exhibit.

College Hockey:Root's goal 9 seconds into overtime gives Yale upset win over Minnesota
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Nine seconds into sudden-death overtime is all it took.
Jesse Root scored his 10th goal of the season shortly after the puck dropped for overtime, and Yale sent home West Regional top seed Minnesota with a 3-2 victory on Friday in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
2013 NCAA West Regional
Follow all of our coverage from Grand Rapids at Regional Central
NCAA tournament page, with bracket
Kenny Agostino aggressively went to Minnesota's defense on the forecheck after the Gophers won the opening faceoff in the extra session.
The Minnesota bench barely was settled in before their season was declared over.
"I actually have a pretty good picture of it," Yale coach Keith Allain said. "I thought to myself, 'Kenny's going to force a turnover here,' and he put such great pressure on. He had him at an angle and I knew the guy was in trouble."
Agostino indeed forced the turnover behind the Minnesota net and fed Root for the quick putaway.
Yale (19-12-3) advanced to Saturday's regional championship and will play the North Dakota-Niagara winner for a spot in the Frozen Four.
Minnesota rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period but saw its season end at 26-9-5.
It was scoreless going into the second period but Yale scored twice in that period.
The first Bulldogs goal came from Agostino, who scored an even-strength tally for the Bulldogs 7:08 into the second period. Andrew Miller and Rob O'Gara picked up the helpers on that goal.
Although neither team had much momentum during the second period, Yale was able to capitalize again.
With 4:32 left in the second period, Gus Young scored a power-play goal with a long shot that eluded Minnesota goaltender Adam Wilcox.
Going into the third period, Yale had done what most teams were not been able to this season: shut down the Gophers' offense. Coming into the regionals, Minnesota was the top-scoring offense in the country, averaging 3.48 goals per game. Yale has the 29th-best defense.
Minnesota was not ready to toss in the towel just yet. At the 8:12 mark of the third period, Nate Schmidt scored his ninth goal of the season on the power play.
Five minutes and 28 seconds later, Zach Budish scored the game-tying goal and the tides were turning.
The momentum was in favor of the Gophers throughout the third period; they outshot Yale 12-6.
"Going down 2-0 after two, it kind of puts your back against the wall," Minnesota forward Zach Budish said. "We were able to get two goals. I thought we had a good chance to win in overtime."
The way things turned out, they didn't get a chance.
"I thought we got better as the game went on. I thought when we tied it we were in great shape," Gophers coach Don Lucia said. "Like every season, no matter where you are or what happens, it's always disappointing when the season ends and looking at the guys in the locker room."
Minnesota outshot Yale 28-25. Yale was 1-for-3 on the power play; Minnesota was 1-for-5.
"I think it was a hard-fought hockey game," Allain said. "From our perspective, it was a tremendous team win. I thought man to man, our guys played as well as they could play. We were fortunate enough to eke it out in overtime."
His one negative takeaway from Friday's game?
"We'll have to do a much better job with faceoffs tomorrow night," he said. "It was pretty lopsided."

A remote control flying club meets every Saturday, in a two-hectare space located in San Vicente, Nayarit, a little town along Banderas Bay. Previously, this club met in Rincon de Guayabitos, but will continue to meet in San Vicente.
Flying remote control airplanes is a very involved hobby and is not only about flying. You also have to learn how to construct them and tune the motor, to fly them safely. Currently there are eight people in this club. Visitors come by to investigate the sport, but you really have to love it to get involved. You need to build your airplane with patience and without rushing, as if something goes wrong your model plane will 'bite the dust'. An instructor will teach you everything you need to know, such as starting the engine and filling it with gas.
If you are interested in joining this club contact them at www.aeromodelismovallarta.com. You simply need to like remote control airplanes. For the record, the first time you visit them they will give you an opportunity to fly a plane, and if you you're hooked, they'll provide purchasing information for the basic equipment.

For season nine of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," it seems that two housewives who will have plenty of drama with each other is returning housewife Heather Dubrow and new housewife Shannon Beador. In her Bravo blog entry, posted on Monday, April 21, Shannon admitted that there are hard times ahead for her and Heather.
Shannon first implied that Heather purposefully tried to keep her out of the loop. Writing about Tamra Barney's spooky party, which viewers saw on Monday night's episode, Shannon wrote that before the party, she specifically asked Heather if it was a costume party and she said no. Of course, it did turn out to be a costume party, which meant that Shannon, without a costume, looked a bit out of place. She also revealed that when she and Heather entered the party, Heather immediately left her to go join Tamra and Vicki Gunvalson, leaving her to fend for herself.
She then touched upon Heather's opinions about her dedication to the all-natural life and holistic medicine, writing, "Heather is quite opinionated." Shannon also pointed out that Heather has very strong opinions, opinions that she perhaps should keep to herself, about Tamra wanting another baby. She concluded that "the warning flags on Heather have been raised…"
Despite the drama, Shannon is grateful for the experience. She wrote that watching herself on TV has provided her with the opportunity to do some personal growth and learn from her mistakes. She also wrote that she was prepared to have people watch both her good and bad points.
The preview for season nine of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" shows that there is a lot of turmoil ahead for Shannon Beador and Heather Durbow. In one scene, Shannon tells Heather that she finds her condescending. In another, Heather tells Shannon that their relationship is done and to leave. An even more explosive scene shows Shannon angrily telling Heather that the truth will be revealed by the cameras and storming off hysterical, leaving Heather, usually composed and calm, in tears.

Despite spending more money on health care than any other country in the world, the United States lags behind many countries in infant mortality related to pre-term birth or low birth weight outcomes. Sadly, some of the poor outcomes have been linked to domestic violence. In a new study, researchers argue that providers need better training on recognizing domestic violence, as well as training on how to effectively counsel mothers and children and put them in contact with appropriate channels for care.
Tina Bloom, Ph.D., from the University of Missouri, recommends training for health care providers to recognize signs of domestic violence and connect abused women with resources in their communities. Policymakers are aware that domestic violence often goes unrecognized and is underreported. Accordingly, objectives in "Healthy People 2020" – a 10-year plan released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — include providing support for those who work to prevent domestic violence.
"Health care providers are not well trained to routinely screen or recognize the signs of domestic violence," Bloom said. Bloom added, "They don't know how to ask about abuse, what to say or how to connect abused women with help. We need to engage with current students, our future health care providers, to bring this issue to the forefront."
According to Bloom, addressing maternal-child health disparities goes beyond the issue of domestic violence. Abused women need access to resources for finding employment, affordable and safe housing, financial assistance, transportation and health care. These factors, defined in Healthy People 2020 as social determinants of health, heavily influence women's responses to violence and health outcomes of women and children. "Healthy moms produce healthy babies and together they give rise to a healthy population," Bloom said. As a maternal-child health researcher, I am particularly pleased that the Healthy People objectives have expanded to include injury and violence prevention for women and children and talk explicitly about these key social determinants of health."
This research shows the importance of including health care providers in the response to domestic violence. Health care providers, especially women's health providers, are in a unique position to intervene with domestic violence victims. Often, an abusive partner prevents the victim from utilizing community resources but will allow her to see her physician. GCADV's Project Connect is designed to train physicians, nurses, social workers and allied personnel in both health departments and hospitals on how they can appropriately screen for domestic violence and how they can refer a patient to a local domestic violence organization. The project also works to connect health care providers with the domestic violence organization in their community to foster long-term relationships.
At GCADV our hope is that by providing training to the health care community, we can positively impact the health and safety of women and children in Georgia.
If you are a medical care professional and would like to speak with a GCADV staff person about training the providers you work with, please contact Angie Boy at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Awesome, does this require a specific port in order to work?
Since it uses an HTTP server people, would it be wise to go into their Skype settings to uncheck Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections? If they usually keep Skype running on their computer.
Just curious.
+rep for the effort.

Jane, a key member of the Volturi, arrives in Forks after the Cullens and werewolves have defeated Victoria's vampire army. She's disappointed that there's nothing left to do, aside from killing Bree. It transpires that she feels competitive toward the Cullens.

On Sunday, Dr. "PK" Diffenbaugh came to the Seaside City Council to take part in the "Meet and Greet" for the community that was hosted by a whole array of community dignitaries. His message can be found on the district's website, including an Entry plan that is divided into 3 parts. The second part of the entry plan is in August/September with "hitting the ground learning."
There was a short question and answer period after the introduction with topics about Algebra learning, the militarization of the classroom, and interfacing government agencies like the ATF with the active classroom.
While most assured the new superintendent that there would be plenty of support from civil leaders and parents, and that this place is a virtual paradise for it's location, there was still the acknowledgment that problems in the past have not found solid solutions.
Why haven't highly paid administrators, teachers, counselors, consultants, and other education personnel been able to find the key that opens the lock to the dilemma that students are getting the best of instruction, but in terms of the scale of rating, it is lower than students from other countries, and even in California: other districts and areas?
Students are not able to focus and learn the standards placed in front of them, and there are lots of emphasis on attitude and behavior as the hindrance to their learning. One explanation is that technological progress and advancement increases competition at the expense of aggression, which is a sign of strength and a dilemma remains and a "Catch-22" as a vicious cycle, because of it's the repetitious and cyclic nature. Rationalizations perpetuating the problem without solutions take the form of routinely not taking responsibility and making excuses for every inappropriate action. That is why the classroom becomes a war zone instead of a place to learn information 9 times out of 10.
Dr. Diffenbaugh is extremely qualified to turn the past problems around, and people were exceedingly grateful that he decided to bring his expertise, background and past successes from other school districts to Monterey Peninsula Unified School district.

John Lantz had a career-high 139 receiving yards and also threw a touchdown pass Saturday.
Nov. 9, 2013
Final Stats | Final Stats (PDF) | Photo Gallery
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Southern Illinois' hopes of making the playoffs likely ended with a 37-27 loss to Missouri State Saturday afternoon at Saluki Stadium. The Salukis (5-4, 3-2) built a 14-0 first quarter advantage before the Bears (4-6, 4-2) took a 21-17 lead in the final five minutes of the first half and held on the rest of the way.
"Right after the game when the clock hit zero, we knew we were out of the playoffs," receiver John Lantz said. "As a senior it's hard for me because I wanted it bad. I know the team wanted it bad because we worked hard all year."
The Salukis cut the deficit to 31-27 midway through the fourth quarter on Malcolm Agnew's one-yard touchdown run, which was set up by a 37-yard completion to Lantz. SIU elected not to attempt a two-point conversion that could've cut the lead to three.
Following an MSU punt, the Salukis took over at their own nine-yardline with just under six minutes to play. When the drive stalled at fourth-and-4 on the 26-yardline, SIU ran a fake punt. Punter Austin Pucylowski nearly completed a pass to linebacker Tyler Williamson that would've kept the drive alive, but it was broken up by Jeremiah Plowden.
"(SIU) came out with trick plays in the beginning of the game, and you knew they were probably going to try something," MSU coach Terry Allen said. "But it was a nice job by Plowden there. We reacted to it."
Missouri State tacked on six more points and put the game out of reach when quarterback Austin Glaser scored on a one-yard plunge to extend the lead to 10 with two minutes left on the clock. Bryan Presume blocked the extra point attempt. Glaser also threw for 310 yards and two more touchdowns in the game.
Southern controlled the momentum early when Tay Willis returned the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. SIU followed that up with its longest drive of the season, a 97-yard drive that ended with Lantz completing a 23-yard touchdown pass to Josh Sullivan.
However, Missouri State responded to outscore SIU 17-3 in the second quarter.
Early in the second quarter with SIU up 14-7 and on the verge of extending its lead back to two touchdowns, Ryan West threw an interception in the end zone.
"We've usually gone to the flat to (fullbacks) Rik Hicks or Ray Agnew (on that play)," Lennon said. "We felt that was the throw that was open again, but this goes back to the fundamentals of football. You have to trust your reads and your keys. I think we were anticipating that throw, and it just wasn't there. The experience factor showed up on that play."
MSU quickly marched down the field to tie the game at 14-14 with quarterback Kierra Harris' 46-yard touchdown run.
Later in the quarter Ashton Glaser threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to LeMarcus Stewart to give MSU a 21-17 lead. Saluki linebacker Carl Bivens had a clear shot at Glaser for a sack, but Glaser withstood the hit and fired the ball to Stewart.
Big plays played a big role for the Bears' offense. Missouri State executed three plays that gained 40 yards or more. Two of those plays came in the second quarter.
"It just comes down to fundamental football; blocking, tackling and doing your assignments so you're in position not to give up big plays," Lennon said. "We gave up way too many big plays and easy scores."
SIU's defense allowed 510 yards of total offense, their second highest total of the season. The Bears were helped by a few costly penalties and missed tackles.
"I was disappointed with our fundamentals," Lennon said. "The things we are normally good at we failed at, especially defensively. We have to be better than what we were that first half. Any time you give up 348 yards in a half there are some problems."

We might the amateur babe Sam while a couple of us at the Reality Kings offices went for a burger at the high-class fast food joint down the street. When we went there, we saw this hot-as-hell chick and we instantly knew that she had to be a part of the Reality Kings family. She agreed with this idea, and said yes before we even had a chance to complete our sentence, and what resulted from this little meeting of the minds was a 2003 episode of Street Blow Jobs that will go down into the history books.

Protégés could be wonderful or horrible in the hip-hop world. Dr. Dre struck gold by finding and introducing Eminem and Snoop Dogg. Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records have unleashed hit record after hit record and many of their protégés like Beanie Sigel and Young Gunz are making a name for themselves. Ever since the beginning of Roc-A-Fella Records and Jay-Z's first LP "Reasonable Doubt", Memphis Bleek has been there. From his performance on "Coming Of Age", Memphis Bleek has had an energetic flow and a young gangsta image. Jay-Z has so much faith in young Bleek that every time he announces his retirement (which is often), he tells us that Bleek will take the thrown. His debut LP "Coming Of Age" was a somewhat boring affair that had some minor hits like "Memphis Bleek Is" (produced by Swizz Beats) and "What You Think Of That". Unfortunately, the guest appearances by Noreaga, Ja Rule, Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z and Da Ranjahz could not save the album as a whole. Just when people were about to write Bleek off, he came out with the incredible track called "My Mind Right" from "Backstage" soundtrack. Disbelievers were amazed and they began to believe. He made many collaborations with Jay-Z on "The Dynasty Roc La Familia" LP and also began a partnership with Beanie Sigel. Beans and Bleek began to record songs like "Who Want What" and the EPMD cover of "So What You Sayin". The chemistry was undeniable whether you were a fan or not. Around this time, Memphis Bleek began to take shots at Nas too. His second LP "The Understanding" was a much more successful album due to the hit song "Is That Your Chick" which featured Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, and Twista. Other songs like "I Get High", "My Mind Right (Remix)", and the opening track "Do My" with Jay-Z were powerful and energetic Roc-A-Fella tracks that pleased fans. Just Blaze's production began to bloom and Memphis Bleek continued. In 2004, Memphis Bleek returns with "M.A.D.E.". With production by Just Blaze, Kanye West, Scott Storch, Art & Life, TT, Digga, and Shim, Memphis Bleek has released another typical Roc-A-Fella protégé album. Much tighter than "Coming Of Age" and much more commercially accessible than "The Understanding", "M.A.D.E." continues the same formula and adds more R&B hooks to the mix. "M.A.D.E." stands for "Money, Attitude, Direction, and Education". While Bleek may have money, attitude, and direction, the only education he has is from the street. Guests include Jay-Z, Lil Cease, Beanie Sigel, T.I., Tricky Daddy, Rell, Nate Dogg, Geda K, Young Chris and more. Just like Roc-A-Fella helped the Diplomats create Diplomat Records and Beanie Sigel create Criminal Records, Memphis Bleek is now starting Get Low Records. While Memphis Bleek and Juelz Santana are very much alike since they are both protégés of popular emcees on the Roc (Jay-Z and Cam'Ron), both Juelz and Bleek have been criticized for lack of lyrical depth. Bleek is not the most intelligent and his flow does not change often. He does, however, maintain his energy and he is improving. With top-notch production and a serious guest list, the formula remains somewhat successful. Still, a Memphis Bleek album will never be as good as a Jay-Z album.See Also:
A majority of the songs have some kind of guest appearance or collaboration. The best collaborations include the ones with Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel or other Roc-A-Fella artists. Produced by Just Blaze, "Hypnotic" is without a doubt the best track on the album. The slow, 6 minute long track has live flute improvisation by Brian Horton. While Jay-Z usually blows the others away on his guest spots, he starts his verse off with an unusual flow that seems somewhat forced. Eventually, he gets more comfortable and begins to rock the mic as usual. Beanie Sigel, who kicks the song off, has a remarkable delivery that is cool as a cucumber. "Hypnotic" is a perfect song to smoke and get high to (and the song is not even obvious about that). "Murda Murda" is the other exceptional track on the LP. The beat is simply mind-blowing as it bounces along with a Timbaland / Neptunes funked out groove. Produced by Scott Storch, "Murda Murda" uses an Ad Rock (from The Beastie Boys) sample saying "Chilly, chill!" after Jay-Z rocks the sinister hook. Even Memphis Bleek rocks the mic on the amazing track, which could have been on Jay-Z's LP. "Just Blaze, Bleek, & Free" is a very cool track that works extremely well. Produced by Just Blaze and featuring Freeway, the electronic melody just sounds insane and is complemented by some mind-blowing scratching towards the end. Other excellent songs include "Hood Muzik" featuring M.O.P. (the newest artist signed to Roc-A-Fella) and "Everything's A Go" featuring Jay-Z.
Bleek does do a good job on the songs where he is alone. The intro cut "Roc-A-Fella Get Low Respect It" has an energetic beat (produced by Coptic) along with an exuberant performance by Bleek. Unfortunately, before the beat comes in, another overdone play on the movie "Goodfellas" is used. The other solo cuts like "War", "Hell No" and "R.O.C." all show that Bleek can stand alone like he did on "My Mind Right".
There are a handful of tracks that should have worked well but do not live up to their potential. One odd track that should have worked was "1, 2 Y'all" featuring Jay-Z, Lil Cease, and Geda K. Produced by Shim & E-Bass, "1, 2 Y'all" uses the exact same sample as Black Moon's "Jump Up" but does not nearly have the energy or the power. With 4 verses, the song is just too long. "Round Here" (produced by Just Blaze and featuring T.I. and Trick Daddy.) is Bleek's way of catering to the Southern hip-hop dollar. While the song does have the gritty down-South slow-burning bounce feel, it becomes just another collaboration. "We Ballin" (featuring Young Chris & Proof) is just another money song about flossing. While Jay-Z could have approached the song with a sharp wit and cleverness, Bleek only comes across average. Young Chris (who did an excellent job on Jay-Z's "N*gga Please" from "Blueprint 2") delivers a good performance. Nate Dogg is wasted on "Need Me In Your Life". Some other singer performs on the track too.
The filler tracks are basically the ones that sound like watered down radio songs. "My Life" featuring Latif does have some introspective lyrics by Bleek but the beat the sung hook just make it sound very typical. The horrible "I Wanna Love U" featuring Donnell Jones uses an interpolation of "P.Y.T." by Michael Jackson and just sounds annoying. "Understand Me Still" and "Do It All Again" both feature Rell on the hook and come right next to each other. Both do not sound unique or special in anyway except for Bleek's attempt at being introspective and sensitive.
Memphis Bleek has improved with age and "M.A.D.E." is an entertaining album due to his energy, the guests, and the top-notch production. Unfortunately, R&B hooks and bland collaborations water some of the album down. Lil Cease stops by on 2 songs in a row. Jay-Z is on 4 tracks too. Bleek's previous LP "The Understanding" still had a somewhat glossy feel to it but was more powerful as a whole. Still, stellar cuts like "Murda Murda", "Hypnotic", "Just Blaze, Bleek, & Free" along with "Hood Muzik" may become future Roc-A-Fella classics. Sure, Bleek cannot hold a candle to Nas (who he was beefing with) or even his mentor, Jay-Z, but you have to respect Bleek's energy and persistence. Any fan of Roc-A-Fella Records will not be disappointed in "M.A.D.E." If you are Bleek fan, he does not disappoint either since we should know what to expect from him. It's the same old formula, he does not break any new ground except for adding a couple of more R&B hooks (which was a mistake). With some excellent production and tons of guests, Bleek has made another decent album. Although it is not a classic, it is entertaining. Like Special Ed, Memphis Bleek has it "made".

So I cut some down and rounded the corners and then added lines for the address on the back. They make the perfect sized note for my preschoolers to send Grandma a note.

County loan-grants available to protect homes from wind
Published: Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 4:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
Volusia County homeowners concerned about their home's ability to withstand a windstorm and interested in making improvements may want to check out a low-cost loan county grant program.
Those who need upgrades to improve their home's wind resistance and meet income-eligibility requirements may qualify for the county's Wind Hazard Mitigation Program.
The grant program can assist with hurricane coverings for windows and doors, gable-end tie-downs and garage door upgrades.
The maximum amount available per household is $10,000. The money would be provided as a five-year, zero-interest, deferred loan secured by a mortgage, with the homeowner responsible for closing costs. If the homeowner lives in the home for five years and complies with the program restrictions, the loans will be forgiven.
The county's Community Assistance staff will work with homeowners to apply and determine eligibility. For more information, visit www.volusia.org/housing or call Affordable Housing Coordinator Lori Brown at 386-736-5955, ext. 12969.

Hunting and fishing opportunities will be expanded at 34 national wildlife refuges this year. The Fish & Wildlife Service is announcing in the Federal Register of Monday, March 17 that it is opening up six previously-closed refuges for hunting and fishing, adding new hunts at six others and increasing hunting activities at 20 more. More fishing will be allowed at two other refuges.
FWS is also announcing new regulations for specific refutes for hunting and fishing. The changes take place effective Monday.
Migratory game bird hunting opportunities, for instance, will be increased at 22 refuges. But FWS estimates the opportunities will only "constitute an extremely minor component of the national harvests." It sees killing 12,616 more ducks and 2,463 more geese.
FWS only made a few refuge-specific and technical changes from the rules it proposed last fall. While it responded to comments made on the proposed rules, it declined a request for a public hearing.
For details, including a complete list of the affected refuges and new rules, see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-03-17/html/2014-05214.htm.

What is an MRI?
Ed Cordivin, MD, is a radiologist at Page Hospital.
Question: My doctor has just ordered a MRI for me. What is this and how can it help me?
Answer: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is an advanced method of generating clear images of the body without the use of X-rays. This allows physicians to detect developing diseases or abnormalities earlier than ever before.
MRIs are used most frequently to evaluate the brain and the structures connected to the brain and the spinal cord, as well as the bones and joints of the body. It may also be used to examine the abdomen, heart and blood vessels and to detect breast cancer that might not be visible in a mammogram.
Radio waves travel through a magnetic field toward the water-containing tissues in your body. MRI images show the difference in water content between tissues, and because some conditions (such as tumors and any kind of infection) can increase fluid content, MRI is especially useful for diagnosing these conditions.
No special preparation for a MRI is required. Most MRI scanners are like tunnels, although some are open on the sides. The scanning process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, during which time you'll need to remain as still as possible inside the scanner. You'll hear loud sounds as the scanner captures information for the images. For some MRI scans, dye is injected into a vein in your arm to more easily identify abnormal tissue.
MRI results usually are available within a day. Your doctor will discuss the results with you and may show you the images to explain your diagnosis. If treatment is necessary, the results are invaluable. For instance, if a lump is detected during a breast cancer screening, the image is used to pinpoint the location to biopsy and determine the best course of treatment if a tumor is cancerous.
The only risk is to patients from an MRI are to those with implanted devices such as infusion pumps, pacemakers, cochlear implants, metal filings in the eye, and cerebral aneurysm clips These could possibly malfunction in the MRI scanner. You should tell your doctor about any metal inside your body, although usually it isn't an issue. MRI is very safe and doesn't expose you to any harmful radiation.

Although this seems like great news for fans too antsy to wait for the actual release date, will it affect album sales for the band?
I'm rooting for Pierce the Veil, and hoping that fellow loyal music lover's will purchase on July 17th to show true support of the band's third album.
