LeBron James totally wasn't trolling the Warriors with that Ultimate Warrior shirt, you guysDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie 5 days ago
Hey, remember when LeBron James stepped off the Cleveland Cavaliers' team plane after his team's vanquishing of the Golden State Warriors to win the 2015-16 NBA championship wearing a blue T-shirt bearing the image of the Ultimate Warrior? It sure seemed like a pretty clear wrestling-themed shot across the bow at a Dubs team that had talked plenty of smack when they were one win away from back-to-back titles, right? Like a committed twisting of the knife after the James-and-Kyrie Irving-led charge to become the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals to win it all?

Former No. 1 draft pick Kwame Brown might be looking to make an NBA comebackDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie 5 days ago
As the NBA world gets set to tuck in for an abbreviated late-summer vacation, now that the bulk of free agency and the 2016 Summer Olympics are in the rear-view mirror, we're starting to hear more and more from veterans currently outside the league intent on making their way back in come the fall. Ray Allen, Baron Davis, Emeka Okafor, Von Wafer, Ben Gordon and Flip Murray — plenty of ex-NBA contributors are either actively pursuing or seriously considering taking another crack at the big time. From the sound of it, they're about to be joined by a former No. 1 overall draft pick.
What might the U.S. men's basketball roster look like in Tokyo in 2020?Dan Devine at Fourth-Place Medal 5 days ago
After Team USA's dominating 96-66 drubbing of Serbia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro to win a third straight gold medal in men's basketball, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo called upon the rest of the world to "get their act together and compete" if they want to break the stranglehold the Americans have had on the top of the men's hoops podium over the past eight years. As the United States' opponents set about rebuilding, revamping and reloading their national sides with an eye toward the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, though, it's worth wondering: what might the U.S.'s own roster look like in four years' time?
Beyond that, though, who knows? All that seems clear is that Colangelo and company will aim to avoid the same predicament in which they found themselves this summer, where two-thirds of the final roster had never played in an Olympics and 40 percent of the players had never taken the court for the senior national team.

With gold medal, Team USA's Paul George ends difficult chapter: 'I'm officially back'Dan Devine at Fourth-Place Medal 6 days ago
How great must Sunday have felt for Paul George? The Indiana Pacers star capped a sterling international debut for the U.S. men's basketball team with 22 strong minutes in a dominant 96-66 win over Serbia to win gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. While the 26-year-old struggled a bit with his shot (just 2-for-9 from the floor for nine points), he more than made up for it by contributing a sensational defensive effort, snaring three steals while spending much of his floor time locking down point guard Milos Teodosic to help limit the Serbian star to just nine points on 4-for-11 shooting with three turnovers to mitigate his three assists.

LeBron might return to Team USA in 2020 to play for 'the greatest NBA coach of all time'Dan Devine at Fourth-Place Medal 6 days ago
Despite deciding to forego suiting up for the U.S. men's national basketball team at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, LeBron James made it clear last week that — unlike longtime friend and newly minted three-time gold medalist Carmelo Anthony — he has not retired from Team USA, and that he remains open to the idea of donning the red, white and blue again in Tokyo in 2020.
From Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY:
In an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, James left the door open for a return to the U.S. basketball team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and in a subsequent interview with USA TODAY Sports, James said, "It would be pretty amazing to be able to actually play for the greatest NBA coach of all time." […]
He's a grown man. He doesn't need any of you to tell him anything.
We now know how much a game-chewed Steph Curry mouthguard can fetch at auctionDan Devine at Ball Don't Lie 6 days ago
It's a question each and every one of us has asked ourselves countless times before: "What's the absolute most I would pay for a game-slobbered-in mouthguard discarded by Stephen Curry?" Your mileage may vary, of course — let's just say that I have a number in mind and I haven't hit it yet — but for one eager consumer who was champing at the bit to bid on the Golden State Warriors star and two-time NBA MVP's gob-guard, the figure evidently tops your man Andre Benjamin.

Bogut slams 'ridiculous' officiating in Australia's bronze-medal loss to Spain
Medal count | Olympic schedule | Olympic news
Andrew Bogut played just 14 minutes in Australia's meeting with Spain on Sunday.
The Dallas Mavericks center and Australian pivot, who plays such an integral role at the heart of the Boomers' offensive and defensive systems, battled foul trouble throughout the bronze-medal game in the men's basketball tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro; he fouled out with 7:54 remaining in the third quarter of a game that his Boomers would lose, 89-88, with Philadelphia 76ers guard Sergio Rodriguez hitting the winning free throws after a questionable foul call against the San Antonio Spurs' Patty Mills on a late drive:

That, as you might expect, is not how Bogut saw it.

Following a victory in which Team USA saved its best for last, playing its best two-way ball of the Olympic fortnight to blitz the overmatched Serbians from the middle of the first quarter on, Anthony spoke with NBC's Ros Gold-Onwude, offering some perspective on an Olympic fortnight that might not have produced an American effort as impressive as ones in years past, but that was still plenty good enough to conclude in gold.
Asked why this particular experience was so special for him, Anthony raised his eyebrows, smiled and disclosed.
Late foul call helps seal bronze for Spain, heartache for Australia

After the first two games of group play in the men's basketball tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, it looked like Australia might be the second-best team in the competition and like we might be witnessing the end of Spain's run as an international hoops power. As the tournament draws to a close, though, we find the two nations in familiar positions: Spain back on the medal stand, and Australia, heartbreakingly, just on the outside looking in.

The final buzzer also brought heartbreak for the Aussies, who now have reached the final four of the Olympic men's basketball tournament four times … and have finished in fourth place, without a medal, in all four of them.
Spain just beat Australia to win the bronze medal and Dellavedova is crying. Bogut looks close. Don't tell me Olympic hoops is superfluous.

When Spain locks horns with the United States on Friday for the third straight Summer Olympics, this time in the semifinals of the men's basketball tournament in Rio de Janeiro, after consecutive gold-medal matchups in Beijing and London, they might – might – do so without leading scorer and interior linchpin Pau Gasol.
The word comes from head coach Sergio Scariolo, by way of a Spanish-language interview translated by Eurohoops.net:
"We know how critical Pau is to our team but his health is our priority, so we will see how he develops," Scariolo said, according to Marca. "We won't rush into a decision."

Face-to-face after 65 years
BEIJING — For decades, the Taiwan Strait, which separates mainland China from the island of Taiwan, was considered one of the most likely spots on the globe for military hostilities to break out. Now that seems less likely than ever before.
The meeting Tuesday in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing between Zhang Zhijun, who heads the Taiwan Affairs Office for the People's Republic of China, and his Taiwanese counterpart, Wang Yu-chi, was the first face-to-face encounter between officials of the two nations in 65 years. Little of immediate substance resulted, but the cordial pledges of further direct talks in the months to come show how much the China-Taiwan relationship has changed in recent years.

Bob Dylan to soundtrack Super Bowl ad about a bear trying to buy yogurt
JON BREAM | Updated 1/29/2014
His music will be used in ads for Chobani and Chrysler.
Eric Decker and Prince won't be the only Minnesota natives involved with the Super Bowl on Sunday. Bob Dylan's music will be featured in two commercials.
His 1966 hit, "I Want You," will be heard in an ad for Chobani yogurt about a bear going into a convenience store.
Dylan himself is expected to be featured in a Super Bowl commercial for Chrysler; no bears will be riding shotgun. No word yet which of his songs will be in the spot. In the recent past, Chrysler has tapped Eminem, Berry Gordy and Clint Eastwood to star in its commercials.
Dylan's past involvement in commercials has been unpredictable. There was the infamous Victoria's Secret spot in 2004 (see below), and he appeared in a 2006 Apple ad and a 2007 commercial for Cadillac. He allowed his song "Forever Young" in a will.i.am mashup for a 2009 Pepsi spot.
Your Super Bowl scorecard shows that Decker, the Cold Spring, Minn., native, will be playing for the Denver Broncos, and Minneapolis native Prince will be a guest star (as himself) on Fox's "New Girl," Zooey Deschanel's series that will be broadcast after the Super Bowl.

SIKESTON -- With more than 70 percent of Sikeston without electricity Friday, close to 500 residents took shelter in the Sikeston Field House's warming shelter.
Dolores Jones, 62, was one of those people. She is retired and resides on Dona Street in Sikeston.
Jones lost her power Tuesday and has been at the Field House since Wednesday.
Jones pointed out that things were a bit uncomfortable in the early going.
"It was very cold here in the very beginning since they only had small generators at that point and everyone kept coming in and out of the building," said Jones.
Jones said conditions improved greatly with the arrival in force of the American Red Cross, the National Guard, and all the other agencies that are contributing to the effort.
"Things have gotten so much better since more help arrived," Jones said. "When the Red Cross and National Guard were able to get those big generators here, things got a lot better."
Jones commended the Red Cross and all the state agencies, such as Department of Family Services, for their tireless work to meet the needs of the Field House refugees, many of whom have medical conditions or special needs.
Jones, who suffers from a heart condition and diabetes, said all of the staff is paying close attention to those with medical conditions.
"I have plenty of medicine myself," she said. "But the Red Cross and the other agencies have been checking on me and know all about my medical conditions. Everyone has been so wonderful."
Jones' highest praise was reserved for the men and women of the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.
"The Sikeston Police Department has done an excellent job. They have been so polite and quieted everyone down so people could sleep," she said "They did a great job calming down the kids staying here. Although, I wish I had the energy of some of these kids."
Jones said DPS has been especially sensitive to those at the Field House with special needs.
"Everyone has been so kind,"she said. "I have a special needs friend who was having some problems and I asked one of the police officers if they could help her. They were just so polite and ready to help."
Jones said the professionalism and preparedness of the response from DPS feels more like that of a big city than a small town.
"The response of our public safety, makes you feel like we are in a big city, how prepared they are," she said. "You have to remind yourself this is just Sikeston, Missouri."
Jones said in her long time in Sikeston, the public opinion on DPS has waxed and waned, but her viewpoint on them is firmly positive at this point.
"I'm a lifelong resident of Sikeston," she said. "I was born and raised here. I have seen bad and I have seen good from this community over the years. I see that we are by far more good than bad. The police department had a bad rap for a long time, but now their reputation, in my book at least, is top notch. The police and fire departments have been working so hard through all of this. You see them working so hard right now. They just make me proud as punch. I'm 62 years old, and it just makes we want to cry. I'm just so proud of our town."
Jones said she thanks the officers every time she sees them now.
"I'm just so proud to say I'm from Sikeston and thank our DPS guys every time I see them," she said. "Everyone else should too."

But in truth the damage had already been done as Sam Jones and Ashley Johnson had gone over for Wasps to build up a 17-0 lead by the time Cato had struck.
Although captain Welch followed Cato over the whitewash with time up to earn his side a losing bonus point as Falcons scored two tries in an Aviva Premiership game for the first time since their return.
With swirling wind greeting the teams at Kingston Park the game took some time to come to life, but it did so with a bang on 13 minutes.
Joe Launchbury had already charged down a Chris Pilgrim kick and this time he did so again with devastating affect as the ball rebounded off the post and Jones picked it up and dived over the line.
That brought fly-half Andy Goode up and the veteran made no mistake with the conversion on his 200th appearance in the competition.
However Goode didn't have it all his own way an on 20 minutes he sent a penalty wide of the uprights as he slipped on connection.
But he didn't panic and when the time came for him to have another shot on 35 minutes Goode made no mistake to stretch Wasps' lead.
Newcastle had the chance to peg their visitors back just before the break but Phil Godman sent his close-range penalty wide meaning the Falcons headed into the break 10-0 behind having drawn a blank in the first 40 minutes for the third time this campaign.
The second-half started with London Wasps exerting pressure on Newcastle, Elliot Daly causing the hosts all sorts of trouble with some clever kicking in behind.
And on 54 minutes that pressure told as Johnson barged his way over following a powerful driving maul, Goode once again adding the extras.
However six minutes later Newcastle replied through Cato. Godman delayed his pass to Tait perfectly who then fed the ball back inside for Cato to go over despite the best efforts of Wasps' Tom Palmer.
Newcastle kept fighting right until the end and their pressure saw Wasps' James Haskell sin-binned.
And their pressure told as with time up Welch buried his way over and Godman added the conversion, although it couldn't prevent London Wasps from recording their third consecutive Aviva Premiership away victory.

Keleigh Nicholl had applied the product to her mum's lower legs in preparation for a family wedding before the Twelfth holidays in July.
The 20-year-old returned to her home in Woodlawn, Ballycraigy a short time later after feeling "a bit queasy" and as she made her way through her front door, she collapsed onto the sofa and stopped breathing.
Luckily Keleigh's younger brother was nearby with friends and called at her house to use the bathroom a short time later.

Silverbridge and the wider south Armagh community is mourning the loss of one of its eldest and most respected citizens.
Pat Murphy, from the townland of Carnally, passed away peacefully in Daisy Hill Hospital on Saturday, July 27, surrounded by his loving family.
Having reached the ripe age of 94, Pat was well-liked and hugely respected throughout the area. Until recently the sprightly nonagenarian remained very independent, still driving and continuing to work with his sons in the family firm on a regular basis. Indeed, his agility and exemplary work ethic put many, a fraction of his age, to shame. As head of the family's construction company, he was an integral part of its daily enterprise, overseeing projects with his familiar and easy manner.

Profiling PET
By John Peter Koss
For more than 25 years, observations, collaborations and manufacturing projects have witnessed the development, production and use of the PET container. Returnable glass was phasing out, one-way glass was replacing the "long neck" and the plastic container for beverages was introduced as a viable replacement for both. The introduction required integrated compatibility of resin processes, mold designs and container specifications from economical, practical and mass production viewpoints. Container nomenclature (base, body, finish), container size (64 oz., 32 oz., 20 oz.) and quality control attributes and variables became the bases for specification development. A brief chronology from resin to finished container will profile PET containers as it happened.
Food products in plastic, a long time issue, surfaced again as resin producers became the source/producer for the new PET bottle. Suffice to say, resin "food grade" purity was developed and provided the injection molding manufacturers with critical raw material. This first step also required mold makers to produce molds that would result in a quality parasson or "test tube" bottle form. Step two required blow molding the "test tube" bottle form into a finished container. The finished container, in a 64 oz. size, was originally a body/base cup configuration involving different plastics. Base cups, glue and other quality attributes were problems and prompted creation of the current PETaloid container. The one piece container was a major step forward and provided incentive for manufacturers to combine the injection and blowing into an onsite operation with exporting capabilities.
Stabilizing PET bottle configuration was real progress! However, actual quality attributes such as pin holes, pearlescence, haze and finish, all transitioned through major specification development. This was a major task and brought PET manufacturers and beverage producers together to establish industry wide standards. Once these attributes were reconciled, a major issue of resin content focused on quality and cost. To what level could resin content be lowered? Would it enhance or hurt container handling? What were economies of scale in minimizing resin content? These issues continue in the PET container arena today and will for some time.
Two factors are important to the profile of the PET container. One is size, which started with 64 oz. and now includes a range from 8 oz. to 2 liter. At one time 3 liter was considered, but the market did not accept this "huge" bottle. Another factor is container finish which vacillated amongst 28mm, 38mm and other closures. In most cases, aluminum closures were originally used and have given way to plastics to provide a total plastic package. Size and finish will always impact container handling, filling and packaging throughout the production process. Nevertheless, the PET container is an excellent example of continuous improvement.

What better way to celebrate the week hackers ran rampant than with another security breach? Zendesk, a company that offers IT support tools and customer service software, announced on Thursday that it had been hacked. In a blog post, CEO Mikkel Svane stated, "We've become aware that a hacker accessed out system this week," though he did not say by which method or for how long.
What separates this attack from the malicious malware that infected machines at Facebook and Apple is that these hackers managed to compromise a healthy amount of Zendesk's stored user data, putting users of

Joy Johnson doesn't believe she's anything special. Johnson kept repeating that, again and again, as she sat on the couch of her Willow Glen home, marveling at the flurry of attention she was receiving.
"So many people work harder than me and are so much better," she said. "I just try to do the best I can."
But first, The Wall Street Journal profiled Johnson's quest to complete her 21st consecutive New York City Marathon. Then she defended her age-group title in last Sunday's race. Monday morning, she got some airtime on the "Today" show with Al Roker — and even a peck on the cheek.
"I'm overwhelmed by all this," she added.
She's also 81.
That explains why everyone else is pretty amazed even if a modest Johnson is embarrassed and a little mystified by all the interest. Johnson, a retired gym teacher, completed the 26.2-mile course in 6 hours, 5 minutes, 57 seconds to win the women's 80-and-over division.
'I enjoy my life'
Yet Johnson claims she simply isn't very competitive and tries not to push herself too hard. In fact, she seemed more interested in talking about her 13-year-old granddaughter, Leah, than her victory in New York.
"I enjoy my life," said Johnson, who has run more than 50 marathons. "I'm a pretty happy camper. I always have been."
Johnson, with her white hair tied in a bun, frequently broke into a bright smile as she talked about how a girl who grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm landed in San Jose and discovered running.
She taught P.E. in Duluth for a couple of years before she tired of "freezing to death." She moved to the Bay Area and was a teacher at several schools, first in Campbell and then San Jose. She got married and had four children.
Everyone always assumes that Johnson must have been an athlete all her life because she taught gym. But Johnson explained that as a teacher, she always stood around watching her students swim, run and so on.
It wasn't until after retiring at age 56 that she began the slow evolution from a walking program to jogging to running a 10K. A friend suggested they enter the 1988 New York City Marathon. In a weak moment, she agreed.
"When I crossed that finish line in Central Park, I just knew this is what I would do the rest of my life," Johnson said. "Running makes you feel good. It's energizing. You sleep better at night. And the best part for me is you can eat anything you want."
She also was pretty good — routinely bringing home trophies, plaques and winner's medals from her weekend races.
"I would always want to put that stuff away in boxes, but my husband made sure they went right up there," Johnson said, pointing at a living room mantel. "If I tried to put them away, he would put them back up."
Johnson paused.
"He was always so proud," she added.
Dr. Newell Johnson died in 1999. Their oldest child, Debra, previously had died of cancer.
"The thing about life is you have to accept what comes along," said Johnson, who has six grandchildren. "You don't have to like it. But you have to learn to live with it. It's the same way with aging. You just have to accept that you're not ever going to be 21 again."
Push to lower time
But Johnson, who runs three marathons a year, was unwilling to accept that it had begun to take her about seven hours to complete races.
She increased her weekly mileage to about 40 miles. Out the door at 5 a.m. each day, she added sprint workouts on the track at Willow Glen High, where she had once taught and now trained with friends. She ran hills.
At New York, one of the world's preeminent marathons featuring nearly 39,000 competitors this year, Johnson lowered her time from 2007 by almost an hour to win the women's division of the oldest age category. (There were 17 finishers over the age of 80, including five women.)
Her victory prize was yet another Tiffany & Co. vase. But Johnson wasn't bragging, mind you. In fact, she's not even sure — and didn't appear to care all that much — if this was her fifth or sixth age-group victory at New York.
Part of her annual pilgrimage includes visiting the "Today" show broadcast the day after the race, wearing her finisher's medal. Over the years she struck up a casual acquaintance with Roker, NBC's affable weatherman. Monday, Roker interviewed her briefly.
"I think I just got my 35 seconds of fame," she added.
Johnson should be getting noticed, said Dr. Walter Bortz. He is a Stanford clinical associate professor of medicine and author of the book "Dare to be 100."
"People like Joy are showing what the human potential really is," said Bortz, 78, who also ran in New York last weekend. "Maybe people will wonder, 'Why am I sitting in a chair eight hours a day watching television when others my age are running marathons?' You're never too old to start being active, but you're always too young to stop."
Diana Boydston, Johnson's daughter, said her mother is showing no signs of slowing down — and not just when it comes to running.
"My mom is a remarkable person," Boydston said. She and her daughter, Leah, live with Johnson and "every night when I come home from work and ask her how her day went, she always says: 'Perfect!' "
That describes this past week. Johnson couldn't get over all the e-mails and phone calls she was receiving. Johnson also told a story where she came close to conceding that maybe she does realize she's at least a little special.
Two Stanford students once asked whether she would take part in a bone-density study. After the testing, they called back, apologizing that the equipment hadn't worked properly. Could she do it again?
"Well after the second test, their professor said: 'There's nothing wrong with the machine. Her bones are just that good,' " Johnson recalled.
She smiled.
"Boy, that was sure nice to hear."

Definición de ensign en inglés:
- The Blue Ensign is not the ensign of the Royal Naval Reserve as such, as is sometimes stated.
- The French now used plain white flags, including ensigns, white being the royal colour.
- An ensign was the national flag flown (technically 'worn') by a warship.
- The colours marched off the parade, an illustration where historically they would have been lodged for safe keeping in the colour ensign's quarters for the night and the evening watch mounted.
- All Sailors will be given a clear career roadmap, outlining how they progress from seaman to master chief, or from ensign to admiral.
- Think about a fairly new petty officer or ensign dealing with a new system.
- ROTC is an elective course of study, taken in conjunction with any academic major that, upon graduation, leads to a reserve commission as a second lieutenant in the army, air force, or Marine Corps or an ensign in the navy.
- Just to make things complicated, their ensign - the lowest commissioned rank in the British army - was a lieutenant-general, one of the highest in the world of real soldiers.
- The poems were never published, but they circulated widely and, as one officer said at the time, 'there was scarcely a more or less literate ensign in the army who did not know them by heart.'
- The young ensign is sailing home from India in 1805 when his ship is seized by a French warship and he ends up off Cadiz, Spain.
Late Middle English: from Old French enseigne, from Latin insignia 'signs of office' (see insignia). Compare with ancient2.
seal from Old English:
Rather than signing their name, people formerly stamped a personal seal in wax on a completed letter or other document. The expressions put the seal on, 'to put the finishing touch to something', and set your seal to, 'to mark something with your own distinctive character', both derive from this. To seal something off reflects the use of seals to check that something has not been opened or disturbed. In these and related uses, seal goes back to Latin sigillum 'small picture', from signum 'a sign', the source of design (late 16th century), designate (mid 17th century), ensign (Late Middle English), insignia (mid 17th century), sign (Middle English), signal (Late Middle English), scarlet, and numerous other English words. This seal dates from Middle English. The name of the animal seal derives from Old English seolh, the source also of the selkie or silkie (mid 16th century), the mysterious seal woman of folklore.

Temperature Tests
The temperature of the core is pulled from MSI Afterburner with the max reading used after a completed run off 3DMark Vantage and the Performance preset.
It comes as no surprise that the cards are going to get warm, but I really expected them to be a bit hotter than this. Sure, 93c is a lot, but that's the worst temp and probably the hardest working core.

The Tap Pre-Show: See the Last Bison perform 'Switzerland' in our studio
The Last Bison is a family affair. Actually two families. Frontman Ben Hardesty's father Dan does the banjo and mandolin, with Ben's sis Annah on bells and percussion. Andrew Benfante handles reed organ and the melodica, and brother Jay is on drums and percussion. Then "honorary relatives" Teresa Totheroh (Annah's best friend) plays violin, with Annah's boyfriend Amos Housworth on cello.
With their talents combined the Virginia folk revival act has made one of my favorite songs so far this year "Switzerland," appearing on its debut album "Inheritance" for Republic Records (home of the Avett Brothers and Of Monsters and Men). The combination of whimsical xylophone and banjo, the beauty of violin and cello, and the gruff passion of Ben Hardesty's voice really gets under my skin. »Read Full Blog Post

A truck hauling dirt overturned Wednesday morning on Highway 74 about 2 miles west of Morrison, closing one lane of the road for much of the morning. The driver apparently was not hurt.
Foothills Fire/Rescue responded to the accident, which occurred about 7:30 a.m. Foothills personnel were allowing traffic to alternate in each direction during the cleanup, which continued throughout the morning.
Traffic in the canyon already was slowed in recent days by a highway re-striping project that stretched all the way to Evergreen.
While out on the patio today, I was constantly serenaded by the boisterous song of a house wren.
Later I noticed it was constantly busy carrying great mouthfuls of some stick-like material into a nest box. It is a strange nest box that a friend made some years ago and brought to me to try it out. It is supposed to attract swallows because the entrance hole is in the bottom of the box, but from the day I put it up, it has been used by house wrens every year.
When legislative budget staffers were looking into ways to balance the state's budget during the 2009 session, they happened onto the fact that Pinnacol Assurance, the quasi-public agency that serves as the insurer of last resort for workers' compensation, had reserves in excess of half a billion dollars more than appeared to be necessary. When legislative leaders suggested taking some of the money to address budget issues, the reaction from Pinnacol, business interests and Pinnacol customers was swift. They said the state should keep its hands off.
Who among you is a card-carrying member of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District? Only a fraction of our Evergreen area residents actually are. Since our two rec centers are used only by a minority of our populace, do we really need them? On the other hand, can you imagine our community without them?
Seventy teaching positions will be eliminated following adoption of the Jeffco school district's 2010-11 budget, which pares $14 million from the previous year's allotment. A total of 136 district jobs are being cut.
Other reductions include decreased transportation routes, larger class sizes and fewer elective course offerings. The district is tapping $36 million in reserve funds to help bridge part of the budget gap. The spending reductions follow dramatic decreases in state funding.
Dan Hawkins, if nothing else, was humbled by the prolonged introduction he received.
"You've gone over too far," Hawkins proclaimed to the overzealous Colorado Buffaloes supporter.
She suffered a stress fracture in her right shin that forced her off the tennis courts just after Wimbledon in 2007. She broke the big toe on her left foot and later suffered a knee injury that initially was feared to be a torn meniscus in her right knee, but turned out not to be at all.
LAKEWOOD — Things certainly looked promising for Evergreen's baseball team on June 5 in the second game of a doubleheader at Bear Creek.

Ninety children of all ages came to the Evergreen Rodeo Grounds on June 5 for the love of running — and a ribbon and a popsicle.
The children from Evergreen and Conifer schools participated in the 50-yard dash and 1-mile and 2-mile runs at the second annual Kids Rodeo Stampede.
By Vicky Gits
Cowboys and professional bull riding will be the main attractions at the Evergreen Rodeo June 18, 19 and 20, but the centerpiece will be the Rodeo Parade on Saturday honoring members of the military and especially veterans of World War II.
This year's parade, with the theme "Salute to Our Troops," kicks off at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 19. About 1,500 people are expected to line up along Main Street to watch the parade's 100 entries.

Course Credit
Cuba's Language, Literature, and Culture: Intensive Immersion program (15 credits)
Course Descriptions
Spanish 331 Language and Culture of the Spanish Speaking World (3 credits (2+2))
Claudia Wakefield
Course Description: An intensive immersion program designed to introduce the student to the language and culture of countries in the Spanish speaking world. Course includes four meetings prior to departure to discuss culture, linguistics, and group dynamics while traveling for one month in the focus country. Two post-travel meetings for debriefing and synthesis. Requires two papers and a final project involving community education.
Prerequisite: Upper Division standing At least 4 credits of language study pre-departure, or instructor permission.
English 418 Advanced Themes in Literature: Hemingway in Cuba (3 credits)
Kevin Maier
Course Description: Although he never renounced his American citizenship, Ernest Hemingway in fact spent the last 20 years of his life in Cuba. He wrote some of his most famous books there (most notably Old Man and the Sea); he set big-game fishing world records on his beloved boat Pilar; he started an annual fishing contest (now in its 60th installment), awarding Fidel Castro the first grand prize in person; he hosted movie stars and famous authors at his lavish home near Havana; he accepted the Nobel Prize for Literature as a Cuban Sato—or a "garden variety" Cuban. In short, it is impossible to understand Hemingway without attending to his relationship to Cuba. After reading Hemingway's novels, stories, and essays set-in Cuba, and after studying the biography of his years spent there, using both conventional published biographies as well as his massive correspondence, students will spend three weeks exploring Hemingway's Cuba. We will critically examine the cottage industry of Hemingway tourism in Cuba, asking how the author's famous image has shaped ideas of the nation. With ample time to explore all his haunts—so lovingly captured in Hemingway's letters enticing friends to come visit him, as well as his prose fiction—students will arrive at a deep understanding of the author's world and work.
Humanities 393 Special Topics: Cuba: A Sense of Place (3 credits)
Forest Wagner
Course Descipton: Through a Humanities immersion course in Cuba, students will gain insight into the cosmopolitan culture of Havana and the rural culture of surrounding provinces. Students will participate, observe, and respond to performance events in public spaces, expressive arts, and cultural and ecological tourism. Ecotourism activities will be compared with regional ecotourism in Southeast Alaska. Commonalities between Juneau as a tourist destination, city, and ecologically rich region and sites in Cuba will come to the fore, salient differences will emerge, and UAS student participants will better understand their place in an increasingly globalized world.
Anthropology 493 Special Topics: Contemporary Cultures of Cuba (3 credits)
Daniel Monteith
Course Description: Students will observe and study the contemporary cultures of Cuba. Major historical sites of interest will be visited. Site visits will be complemented with museum visits, discussions, and readings about the history and culture of Cuba. Students will travel and observe the contemporary economics, politics, and social dynamics of Cuba.
Humanities 393: Cuban Language, Literature, and Culture (4 credits)
Dr. Kevin Maier, Dr. Dan Montieth, Professor Claudia Wakefield, Forest Wagner
Course Description: This preparatory course will meet for three weeks before the trip to introduce students to the idea of international travel—and of travel to Cuba in particular. Readings will include selections from tourism studies, Cuban history, political examinations of Cuban/American relations, and broad introductions to Cuban culture. Additionally, we will set-up group decision-making process for travel logistics, establish travel ground rules, work together to establish consensus about travel style, and hone research skills necessary for international travel.

Olympians Sign Endorsement Deal With BTC
Athletes With BTC Executives
Six outstanding Athletes now have new endorsements deals with BTC which will splash their images across BTC ad campaigns and commercials over the next year.
BTC recently honored The Golden Knights, Michael Mathieu, Chris Brown, Demetrius Pinder, and Ramon Miller, as well as Olympians Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace and Anthonique Strachan at a luncheon and endorsement signing ceremony.
The luncheon was attended by the Minister of Youth Sports & Culture Daniel Johnson, Ministry officials, BTC executives, representatives from the various sporting organisations, athletes' families and members of the media. In addition, winners of the company's social media and internal staff contests joined in the festivities.
Prior to the London Olympic Games, BTC sponsored the entire Bahamas Olympic team some $100,000 and pledged to continue their sponsorship of sports development in The Bahamas.
"When the idea was first presented to our Executive body, never once was there hesitation. The simple truth is that Sports development is a major pillar in our model of Corporate Social Responsibility" said Geoff Houston, BTC CEO.
When the athletes returned home after a stellar performance at the games, BTC remained committed to supporting them throughout their journey to Brazil in 2016.
"At BTC's head office plans began almost immediately to recognize the efforts and achievements of these talented young athletes. We determined, as we had done with many athletes in the past, that BTC would officially endorse our Golden Knights – as shining examples of positive – successful Bahamian role models."
Marlon Johnson Sr. VP of Marketing & Communications, Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie, Eldece Clarke-Lewis, Pauline Davis-Thompson and Hon. Daniel Johnson, Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture
During the luncheon, the athletes signed endorsement contracts totaling $180,000, and with the company's previous $100,000 Olympic Games sponsorship, athlete prizes, and celebrations, BTC has invested $440,000+ in the Bahamas' Olympic Team to date.
While this isn't the first time BTC has endorsed professional athletes, it is the first time a swimmer has been offered a contract.
Olympic swimmer, Arianna Vanderpool Wallace said, "The life of a professional athlete is not all glitz and glamour as sometimes perceived by the public. It involves endless hours of training, sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears. These endorsements are for us validation that our efforts are not going unnoticed."
Arianna finished 8th in the finals of the women's 50 meters freestyle at the London games. The first time a Bahamian was able to accomplish that feat.
The Hon. Daniel Johnson, Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture emphasized how proud the entire country was of the Olympians and expressed how pleased he was about BTCs commitment to the athletes of the country. "We endorse what you are doing here at BTC and this is what partnerships are all about."
Track and field legends, Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie, Pauline Davis-Thompson and Eldece Clarke-Lewis were also recognized for their achievements in athletics, as they were also presented with final endorsement checks for their time as BTC spokespersons.
The six athletes will be featured in a series of BTC ads throughout the holiday season and beyond, as well as take part in a number of public appearances throughout the Bahamas as part of their endorsement deal with the company.

Bartelso Woman Hurt In Downtown Centralia Crash
Centralia Police say Maryann Voss ran a red light while northbound on Elm Street and collided with a westbound car on McCord Street driven by 27-year-old Tessa Opfer of Shobonier. The impact of the wreck caused Voss' van to turn over on the driver's side. She was trapped inside.
Centralia City Firemen had to cut out part of the top of the van and remove part of the windshield to remove Voss. She was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Centralia for treatment. Opfer was not injured.
Firefighters also had to deal with gasoline leaking from the van, creating a possible fire or explosion situation. Foam was spread on the gas to reduce the danger and no problems occurred.
Centralia Police had to reroute traffic around the intersection for about an hour and a half until Voss was freed and the wreckage could be cleared. The wreck occurred at 10:27 Friday morning.

The Daily Start-Up: Groupon Would Be A Big Deal For VCs
This morning's roundup of the latest venture capital news and analysis across the Web:
If Google buys Groupon for $5.3 billion, an offer that Kara Swisher of All Things Digital reports is on the table, it would go down as one of the most spectacular venture investments since, well, probably Google. Remember, Groupon first raised venture capital less than just three years ago. A big winner would be New Enterprise Associates, which provided Groupon with $4.8 million in a first round in January 2008, and which joined in a $30 million second round in December 2009. Accel Partners led that round, and then Battery Ventures and Digital Sky Technologies tossed in $135 million this year in April. (Some of that money went to early shareholders). Then there are the big stakeholders, co-founders Andrew Mason (the CEO) and Eric Lefkofsky (who provided the company with $1 million in seed money.) But let's not get ahead of ourselves – this deal rumor has been floating for months – with the offer price fluctuating between $1.7 billion and $6 billion.
Not only are group deal sites hot, but those offering quick members-only sales are on fire, too. VentureWire details a start-up called Tosty that has raised $5 million to offer member-only sales to families. The company's co-founder and CEO, Guillaume Gauthereau, tells VentureWire the company generated a $5 million annual run rate in October, and the site's growing 25% to 30% a month.
GlaxoSmithKline is launching a new venture capital fund in the U.K., encouraged by the British government's proposal to lower the tax rate for profits arising from patents. GSK's U.K. Venture Capital Fund will invest in local start-ups and academic spinouts pursuing "breakthrough science." Read more in VentureWire here.
If an entrepreneur's pitch includes well over 10 PowerPoint slides, chances are they aren't ready to present the company to an investor, advises serial entrepreneur Steve Blank. "If you find yourself trying to shoehorn your 35-slide presentation into a "VC-ready" format, you don't know enough yet," he writes. …"Get out of the building and talk to potential users and customers. The irony is the more you know, the easier it is to make your presentation short and concise."

What began as a 15-year-old's Eagle Scout project is now Loyola Press's newest interactive resource for children with autism and special needs preparing for their First Communion: the Adaptive First Eucharist Preparation Kit.
Three years ago, Brendan Rizzo noticed his parents were having trouble finding resources for his sister Danielle, a child with autism, to prepare her for First Communion. Brendan was developing an Eagle Scout project; with his sister as his inspiration, he created a special-needs lending library at his parish for his project. Brendan's parents, David and Mercedes Rizzo, also contributed to his work by producing a series of learning tools to help Danielle and other children prepare for their First Communion.
After many months of working in conjunction with the Rizzos, Loyola Press is proud to announce the Adaptive First Eucharist Preparation Kit. The kit contains eight pieces, including picture cards that help children maintain focus during Mass and a matching puzzle that helps children differentiate between the Host and ordinary food. This kit also includes social stories and picture exchange communication system (PECS) strategies. The learning tools in this kit have been used successfully by Danielle and many children like her to participate more fully in the Mass and become prepared to receive the Eucharist.
Here are what users of the Adaptive First Eucharist Preparation Kit have to say:
The kit is a valuable tool that provides a child with autism an opportunity for a successful First Holy Communion."
—Lisa Borges, Executive Director, The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, Inc
"These materials are well-thought-out and prepared, reflecting an understanding of the needs of children with autism and other developmental disabilities with respect to learning and sensory processing. These materials would be very useful for anyone preparing a child with learning challenges to receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist."
—Diane L. Williams, Ph.d., CCC-SLP
"Being a mother of a son with autism, I have lived the challenges of trying to catechize him in order for him to receive the sacraments and better participate in the Liturgy of the Mass. The Rizzos have created a beautiful missal and activities that teach and supplement our Catholic faith in a beautiful and enriching way for children with learning disabilities."
—Michaelann Martin, mother of 8, speaker, and co-author of The Catholic Parent Book of Feasts and Family Matters
To order the Adaptive First Eucharist Preparation Kit (ISBN: 978-0-8294-3580-1), please call 800-621-1008 or visit www.LoyolaPress.com/special-needs.
