AT&T CENTER – Three days ago Miami Heat forward LeBron James dropped 61 points on the Charlotte Bobcats in a win. Thursday, with James being defended by Kawhi Leonard (11 points, 5 rebounds, 5 steals) and the San Antonio Spurs, he finished with just 19 points on 6-of-18 shooting in 38 minutes, as the Spurs blew out the Heat in the fourth quarter (29-13) to win 111-87.
Tony Parker (17 points) started the Spurs with a frenetic pace, but it was Leonard's defense, Tim Duncan's (23 points, 11 rebounds) strong play in the fourth quarter, Boris Diaw's (16 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists) unpredictable playmaking ability, and strong support from the Spurs' bench which led to the Spurs defeating the Heat. Here were a few topics to note in the Spurs' 45th win of the season.
"He was a pest." – Tim Duncan on Kawhi Leonard
A majority of James' minutes came with Leonard defending him. "He did a good job," said Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich of Leonard after the game. "He is just growing day-by-day. He is starting to feel confident in his role and taking pride in being a defender and a rebounder first."
Aside from holding James to the shot chart below, Leonard also forced James into a majority of his turnovers (5) and into offensive foul calls, as James drew five fouls as well, three a few minutes into the second half.
In the fourth, Leonard continued to hound James on the perimeter, as two of Leonard's five steals came in the fourth quarter. "He was a pest," said Duncan of Leonard's defense on James. "That's what we need him to be. He stuck his hand in there, knocked some balls away, got some balls away, got some steals. He contested shots. I think he did a great job overall in every aspect." When the time mattered most, it was Leonard who held James to 1-of-3 shooting in the fourth quarter and two turnovers.
"They played me the same way they played me in the Finals," said James of the Spurs' defense. "They went under all of my pick-and-rolls and dared me to shoot, and they (shots) just didn't go go."
James also mentioned post-game how the sleeved jerseys didn't help with his shooting. "I'm not making any excuses, but I'm not a big fan of the jerseys. Every time I shoot it feels like it's just pulling right up underneath my arm."
James shot 4-of-6 on contested shots, and 2-of-12 on uncontested shots. In the locker room, Manu Ginobili also said he will need to get adjusted to wearing the jerseys. Ginobili said at practice his original jersey was too tight so for the game, he switched to a larger size.
Don't forget about Duncan
With the Spurs heading into the fourth quarter after a dog fight in the third (Miami 23-20), they needed a staple on offense to provide some scoring. That production came from Duncan who scored eight of his 23 points in the final quarter, going 4-of-5 from the field during that stretch.
"I don't want to forget that he is here," said Popovich of going to Duncan in the fourth. "It's good to remember that Timmy is here. He was probably wondering why we didn't do it earlier."
Since the Heat play smaller lineups a majority of the game, Duncan prefers to establish himself in the paint. Even though he shot 9-of-13 in the game, he went 6-of-8 from the inside. Here's a look at Duncan's shot chart against the Heat. To go further into the data, he was a perfect 4-of-4 on contested shots against the Heat.
The unpredictable Diaw
"Boris is a really high I.Q. basketball player," said Popovich after the game. "I really don't know what he is going to do out there a lot of the time. I think he should drive it and he shoots it. I think he should shoot it and he drives and spins. You guys see him play all the time, but usually what he does is positive and team oriented."
Though Chris Bosh scored 24 points, specifically on outside shots, Diaw was big part of the Spurs' win with his 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. At times, he even had to guard James to spell Leonard some minutes of rest, or to stay out of foul trouble. Offensively, Diaw touched the ball the second most on the team and threw the second most passes, numbers that show just how important he is to the team.
A systematic win
The Spurs assisted on 91% of their baskets (39 assists/43 made baskets) two evenings ago against the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers. Against the elite Heat? San Antonio assisted on 75% of their baskets (30 assists/ 40 made baskets).
"They are difficult to guard," said Dwayne Wade after the game. "They have a great system and they have a very unselfish team. They stay true to their system and they believe in it."
"Obviously, I think we all know that when they're healthy, or have their full group, they're going to contend," said James of the Spurs.
It was the ball movement that was key for the Spurs in the win, as they shot 51% on the night, and scored 37 and 29 points in two of the games quarters. Though San Antonio's bench didn't have a player score in double-figures, their bench still outscored Miami's bench 38-23.
Patty Mills in particular grabbed 10 rebounds in just 17 minutes. No Heat player grabbed double-digit rebounds in the game. "They're a very good team, very well coached obviously, and I think Patty Mills gives them an extra kick as well, kind of replacing that Gary Neal role that they had last year," said James of Mills.
The Spurs had 72 more touches and 68 more passes than the Heat. San Antonio also tracked 17.0 miles in the game, compared to Miami's 16.4 miles. On secondary assists, the Spurs threw 12, and the Heat threw 5.
Since getting Tony Parker back and a full lineup, the Spurs have averaged 32.3 assists in their past three games.
Where San Antonio Stands
· Regular Season: 45-16 (2nd in the Western Conference)
· Home Record: 22-8
· Vs. Opponents with +.500 records: 21-14
· Vs. The Eastern Conference: 20-6
· 24 of the Spurs' 45 wins have been by 10 or more points
· Post All-Star Break Record: 7-1
· The Spurs are on a 5-game winning streak

UMM Receives Award for Tobacco-Free Efforts
MACHIAS, Maine – The University of Maine at Machias has been selected by the Maine Tobacco-Free College Network to receive a Gold Star Standards of Excellence award for its efforts to create tobacco-free environments and support tobacco-free lifestyles. UMM is one of eight colleges or universities in Maine to be recognized with the award.
In recent years the Machias campus implemented a Clean Air Policy, created smoke-free areas around buildings, athletic fields, and sidewalks, and limited smoking to two designated smoking shelters. The University also banned the promotion, sale, and free distribution of tobacco products on campus.
"UMM is committed to creating an environment that promotes healthy lifestyles and improves the quality of our campus," said President Cynthia Huggins. "We are exploring the possibility of moving more in the direction of being an entirely smoke-free campus."
As part of UMM's ongoing effort to create a healthier campus, a wellness committee was formed to promote physical and mental well-being by providing activities, information, and resources for the campus community. The group regularly sponsors Lunch and Learn seminars, walks, and healthy competitions.
UMM will be presented with the award at a November 17th ceremony in Bangor.
Other 2011 award winners include the University of Maine, Kennebec Valley Community College, University of Maine Hutchinson Center, Unity College, Northern Maine Community College, University of Maine at Presque Isle, and University of New England.
The Maine Tobacco-Free College Network is an initiative of the Breathe Easy Coalition of Maine and is dedicated to providing Maine's post-secondary learning institutions with the information and resources needed to make campuses smoke- and/or tobacco-free.

Does one become a US citizen after 3 years of receiving conditional green card OR perm. green card?
I have been married to my hubby for almost 2 years. I will be applying to remove the condition on my conditional green card soon. Once the condition is removed, how long does it take to become a citizen?
0 Votes
You become eligible to file for naturalization three years after you become a permanent resident. A conditional green card, still means you are a permanent resident. So from what you have said you will need to wait another year before you are eligible.
Just remember that you do not get automatic citizenship after those three years, becoming eligible and filing Form N-400 is just the first step. Once filed, it can take up to 18 months for the process to be completed, i.e. the final step of actually attend the oath ceremony and receiving your certificate of naturalization.
0 Votes
You have to apply to be a citizen, form N-400. You are eligible on the third anniversary of when you first received your conditional green card.
0 Votes
Hi, you are the same case as mine. If you are living and married to the same husband, and he is an US citizen last 3 yrs; you can apply for the naturalization (become US citizen) after getting your US greencard (or conditional greencard) 3 yrs. If ur husband is not US citizen, you have to wait 5 yrs.
The counting year is starting from the 1st day of your conditional greencard issued date). Hope u get the citizenship soon!

RALEIGH – Campbell Law School and the Campbell University Divinity School have announced the establishment of a new dual degree program. The program, which begins with the fall 2013 semester, allows students to pursue and obtain a Juris Doctor at Campbell Law, as well as a Master of Divinity from the Divinity School.
"We are excited to announce this partnership with the Divinity School," said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard. "Our law school, and Campbell University as a whole, are built around service to our fellow citizens. Both of these disciplines empower graduates to lead and serve their communities and, when combined, one's ability to make a positive impact is only exemplified."
The JD/MDiv program integrates the fields of law and ministry in furtherance of careers in either or both disciplines. The flexible program of study is individualized to provide each student with the best feasible combination of these two complementary disciplines, each of which can be viewed as a calling to serve others.
"From its beginning 17 years ago, one of the strengths of Campbell University Divinity School has been its ability to draw on the resources of a comprehensive university," said Divinity School Dean Andrew H. Wakefield. "Our students have already benefited from opportunities to take selected law classes, such as Non Profit Corporations, which have direct application to their anticipated ministry contexts. This new dual degree is a wonderful way to strengthen our relationship and to build on our shared commitment to academic excellence and to service."
Campbell Law offers six dual degree programs -- four with Campbell University and two with N.C. State University -- in an effort to provide students with maximum exposure and preparedness for a wide assortment of career opportunities in the fields that continue to shape the economy.
In addition to the JD/MDiv, Campbell Law also offers a Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration program with both N.C. State's Jenkins Graduate School at the Poole College of Management and Campbell's Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, as well as a Juris Doctor/Master of Public Administration with N.C. State's School of Public & International Affairs, a Juris Doctor/Master of Trust & Wealth Management with Campbell's Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, and a Juris Doctor/Master of Science in Public Health with Campbell's College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences.

As violence at sports events continues in Serbia, the authorities say they will introduce special courts and prosecutors to help root out hooliganism.
Serbia's Council for the Prevention of Violence in Sport, chaired by Prime Minister Ivica Dacic, on Wednesday announced the establishment of special prosecutors and judicial departments to prosecute hooligans.
Alisa Maric, the Sports Minister, said that the rise in violence at sporting events required a decisive response.
"Curbing this violence is an imperative in order to preserve sports, the security of athletes themselves, and all those who would like to enjoy sports competitions with their families," Maric said.
A month ago, Dragan Djilas, President of the Serbian Basketball Federation, KSS, and the deputy Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vucic, jointly pledged to curb sports violence after clashes between fans marred a basketball cup final in Kragujevac on February 10.
Serbia formerly had a special prosecutor for sports violence who attended all high-risk matches until 2009. The position was envisioned under the 2003 Law on the Prevention of Violence and Misbehaviour at Sports Events.
However, the post was scrapped as part of judicial reforms in 2009 on the grounds that it had not yielded results.
Besides the clashes in Kragujevac, Serbia has seen several incidents of sports-related violence lately.
Last October, violent scenes in the Serbia-England Euro 2013 qualifying match made world headines. Fans ran on to the pitch and scuffles broke out after England beat Serbia 1-0 in the town of Krusevac.
In February, UEFA demanded Serbia to do more to tackle sports-related hooliganism.
Previously, UEFA has fined Serbia's football association on several occasions for violence and racist behaviour by football fans.
As consultations on a new prime minister-designate start, a new centre-right coalition between the Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ, and the Bridge of Independent Lists looks like the only viable option.
Serbia's next chief war crimes prosecutor faces tough challenges - improving a deteriorating case record, dealing with political pressures and satisfying EU demands that are crucial for the country's accession negotiations.
Nina Ognianova, from the Committee to Protect Journalists, told BIRN in an interview that the ongoing purge of the media in Turkey would have negative long-term repercussions for Turkish society.

Many people talk about how to mind mapping your information is something that can be done easily. In fact, most mind map trainers will tell you that mind mapping is the best invention since sliced bread. Is it really that good? In this article, I will give you not just my opinion, but you will also learn how valuable mind mapping is for you and how mind mapping helps you to overcome noise and stress in your life. PLUS, I will show you how I continue to have complete overview in my work and still use mind mapping less than 5 minutes per week (on average!).
How To Mind Mapping… And How It All Began
Way before Tony Buzan (the inventor of mind mapping) was born, people were already organizing their information in a non linear format. It was before we used any formal writing that our ancestors already created pictures with lots of information. Then we started to use words and we decided to write from the top of the page to the bottom using lines of words.
Now you know all that of course. What most people forget however (or not think about consciously) is that we all start out drawing pictures. We don't start in life and write words. First we use pictures and colors. Our brain is doing this by nature and we simply follow our brain in this. Then we go to school and we focus more on words and sentences.
It is very important that you understand that your brain doesn't like to use words only. Take a normal book for studying. Do you like to go through everything in that book? You might only like it when there is a clear benefit or pleasure connected to doing that. You might become smarter and graduate, or you learn something that gives you more time or money. Then going through a 400 page book isn't that bad.
But still, you need to transform the information in the book into something your mind understands.
Now what if I could give you 5 mind maps that show you the entire message of the book, without all the fluff around it and only the real content… Would that be interesting?
I am sure it would!
You would like to use the mind map to have a good overview. And if you have that, you can always go back into the book to understand some things you didn't fully comprehend when reading the mind map.
A book for studying, conversations with people, Project deadlines and goals, your fresh ideas on a topic… just to name a couple of things. They are all creating more and more noise in your life. And you know what happens when you have too much noise, right? It will help you to become stressed. The more noise, the greater the chance of becoming stressed. Is it possible that a mind map can help you with that?
What Is A Mind Map
To get an answer on the question if a mind map can help you, we first have to take a look at what a mind map is. A mind map is nothing more than an overview which is showing you information in a brain friendly manner. This information can be summarized using images, words, colors, etc. Any type of information is possible.
A mind map uses keywords, images and colors to activate your associative brain, thus helping you remember more information faster. In fact, looking at a mind map is like looking at a treasure map. Each piece of information is added at a specific location and used a distinct color to create the biggest emotional impact in your brain. And it is exactly this emotional impact which helps you to remember information faster and easier.
In short, a mind map is a visual representation of information. For me personally, a mind map is a different way of looking at the same information. This different way of looking at it helps me to find new angles, improves my long term memory and makes it on the whole easier and nicer to study new topics and expand my current knowledge.
What I feel is very important when looking at mind mapping is the following: How to use mind mapping to make it as powerful and easy to use as possible. You don't want to learn a new technique and try it out for a while and forget about it then. I see so many disillusioned people in my training courses who tell me that mind mapping is good, but it doesn't work for them…!
And that could be true! It doesn't work for everybody or in every situation better than all the other solutions. It does however work when you are looking for specific applications or goals. So what if you could use it on a small scale and see what it does for you. This way you can test if it works for you and you can learn to master the technique as well. If it still doesn't work… you lost hardly any time and energy because of it.
Most Mind Mapping Instructors Fail To Tell You This
Do you want to mind map everything all the time? Probably not. You just want to mind map once and use the map from them on.
You wouldn't believe how many so called mind mapping trainers tell people to mind map everything. That you have to mind map your agenda, projects,notes, presentations, etc. But that isn't true!
- My agenda is done in Outlook. No need to do it in a mind map as well (that's twice the work)
- My presentations are done in what the audience needs (often a mindmap, but definitely not by default a mind map)
- My notes are done in plain text, just because I want to deal with it fast.
- My projects are often done in mind maps when I am outlining everything, after that, I don't worry about the format anymore.
To me, mind maps are tools, nothing more, nothing less. They are a powerful tools, but absolutely not the best solution for most problems/situations.
You should not spend too much time on making a mind map pretty and colorful. What is done is done. When a map is good enough, you should move on. Perfect mind maps don't exist. If you captured the message of the book, report or meeting, you are done. Any time spend on the mind map from then on is often just a waste of time. You are probably better of using the map.
The third thing you need to be careful about is the usage of a mind map. You should not create a map for your daily planning… every day. Create one for the next week, next month or the length of the entire project. Or you might consider creating a mind map of your courses in school, which show you the entire course in a single map. Use mind maps, don't just create mind maps.
Many people can benefit immensely when they start to use their maps. Be sure you do this as well.
How To Mind Mapping: Reducing Noise
Ever had the thought you almost lost it because of the endless list of things you had to do… but you were not able to pick the one you needed to work on… and you felt like you were going mad?
Congratulations! You experienced a good amount of stress!
Of course I experience stress in my life. But it is hardly the same as it was when I was still studying. Why? Because I have a good grip on my information, surrounding and ideas that pop into my mind.
The way I do this is simple. It might not be easy in the beginning, but it is something that will help you to greatly reduce your stress and improve your well-being and bottom line results (no outcome guaranteed of course, depends all about how much you put into this 🙂)
Here is my simple tactic to capture noise
I take a piece of paper and write down everything I feel is important, needed or useful.For instance I write down what I have to do, what other people want me to do, what the ideas are which are in my head, etc.
Then I organize this information into a proper basic mind map. That's right, a basic mind map. I am not working towards a perfect map with lots of images. I simply want to take the noise and (literally) give it a place in my mind and on paper.
All the related pieces of information are placed near each other. I create groups of ideas, problems, projects, information.
The final thing is now that I select one of the topics in the map and I work on that as much as possible. Of course this is the item which has the biggest impact on my current and future situation. The moment I get distracted, I make sure I watch the map and I continue to work on them again.
How To: Mind Mapping Your Situation Creates Overview
The moment you have your overview in a nice visual map in front of you, you can take a step back to understand what bothers you most and what has the biggest influence in your tasks, people, ideas and goals. You literally took it out of your head, organized it and looked at it from a distance. Things tend to be less personal when you look at a map like this.
So there you have it, you go from noise to overview using this simple tactic. Here's another tactic you can use for free.
The simple tactic is something you can use for noise reducing in your own professional /business life, but also in education. It helps you to improve your thinking because you have less noise to deal with.
When looking at the level of mind mapping skills you need for this… you will love this as well. Mind mapping for beginners is often really difficult. You have to change your way of thinking, and adapt to new things at the same time. This is a heavy burden on your thought and thinking processes and energy. Using this simple technique, you don't have to mind map a lot, but you simple do this exercise once every now and then. You will be creating a basic mind map, yet you won't lose precious time working on your maps.
Also for seasoned mind mappers this is something they can use. You can still reduce stress and gain overview by simply doing this. The secret is… you do have to take action and take a minute to use the tactic. When you do that, you will benefit from it… guaranteed!
Right now I am interested in what you will do with this information. Don't assume or 'know' that you master this already. Even if so… be sure you internalize the ideas. Doing that will bring you so much further!
How will this article on "how to mind mapping your noise into overview" help you?

> Model 721 info
March 22, 2010, 12:12 AM
Hi, I have 2 model 721's chambered in .270, I was wondering if they would be a suitable starter for 1000 yard matches? Or if I would be better to try using my Garand's?

March 22, 2010, 12:20 AM
You'll have a hard time outshooting the 721 in .270 with the Garand in 30.06 at that range.
I have several of the 721s in various calibers, and they are uniformly amazing rifles.
March 22, 2010, 12:29 AM
KR I think I have to agree with you, my dad bought both of these rifles in 1955 when I was born and he always said the Remington 721 was the best shooting rifle you could find, but then that was along time ago too. When I tell people around here what I am thinking if doing they just look at me like I bumped my head, so I might just have to see if I can make it work. What grain bullet do you think would be best? Terry
March 22, 2010, 01:37 AM
The Model 721 will do just about anything that the Remington Model 700 will do, everything else being equal. So, yeah, have at it.
March 22, 2010, 02:02 AM
the big question here is, can you find the right bullets? you would need to shoot 140's or better, I would look to see if 160's are made in 270. , and then you would need to handload, I doubt any factory round is going to be accurate or heavy enough for you to make it out to 1000. but if you can find a 160 bullet, and handload it to about 2800 plus fps, and it is accurate, you may have something there... otherwise, look to the mighty Garand.
March 22, 2010, 07:27 AM
Terry, I would go with Hornady's 150 gr. SST for a start. I've never loaded for shooting past 500 yards, but that bullet has an excellent ballistic coefficient, and would be an sound place to start. You shouldn't have to do much to the rifle either. The 721s had adjustable triggers, and you can easily tune them to a pound or so with no creep and a crisp break. For hardcore accuracy you'll probably want to pillar bed the stock if you haven't already.
I have a healthy respect for the Garand, but autoloaders are inherently less accurate than bolt actions - there are more variables to control.
If you're getting serious about the long range competition, consider finding one of the 721s in 300 Holland and Holland Express. I have one, and it's amazing. The 300 H&H has won or made good showings in dozens of the Wimbledon 1000 yard rifle match.
March 22, 2010, 07:34 AM
The Model 721 will do just about anything that the Remington Model 700 will do
I'm a died-in-the-wool Remington fan, and I've yet to see a 700 that would outshoot the older 721/722 series out of the box. The 721s are heavier, have less ash content in the steel, have remarkable barrels and actions and the best factory triggers I've come across. Winchester may have trademarked "The Rifleman's Rifle" but I always felt like that phrase belonged to the 721/722. The only weak link in the 721 design is the extractor. I've never had one fail personally, but I know others who have. It's a simple fix with a stronger aftermarket replacement.
March 22, 2010, 05:17 PM
It's a simple fix with a stronger aftermarket replacement.
Who makes an aftermarket extractor for the 721/722 rifles? Got a link?
March 22, 2010, 05:37 PM
Hi guys, thank you so much for ll of your help with this idea. I am definately going to try some Hornady's 150gr SST. I think you can get 270 in as much as 180 gr. but I am not sure. Since I am so new to this I will probably have a bunch more questions to ask. If anyone has anymore suggestions please let me know, I would appreciate all the help I can get. KR I don't know anything about pillar bedding, what exactly is that and what is the benefit? Thanks again for all the help! Terry
March 22, 2010, 06:53 PM
KR I don't know anything about pillar bedding, what exactly is that and what is the benefit? Thanks again for all the help! Terry
Pillar bedding involves carving some of the wood out of your stock's barrel channel then installing metal slugs "pillars" down the length of the channel for your barrel to sit on. Pillar bedding or glass bedding either one will improve accuracy in most factory wood-stocked rifles. It's not terribly complicated and there are excellent instructions on both processes on this site.
March 22, 2010, 07:24 PM
Who makes an aftermarket extractor for the 721/722 rifles? Got a link?
Callahan makes a Sako-type extractor to be retrofitted to the 700 bolts, but it can be fitted to the 721/722 bolts as well. This does require a competent gunsmith to do the work. Midway carries them. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=670819
Another option is having a gunsmith machine a 700 extractor to your 721 bolt.

March 22, 2010, 08:16 PM
Is yours broken? If not, leave it alone.
Berger makes a 150 grain .270 VLD with ballistic coefficient of G1 .537 which is pretty good. They say a 10 twist barrel will stabilize it but if it didn't, there is also a 140 grain.
March 22, 2010, 09:39 PM
Is yours broken? If not, leave it alone.
Absolutely! I am decidedly of the school "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." As I posted earlier, I've never had one fail personally, but I know some guys who have. I was simply responding to Runningman's request for more info on replacing broken extractors in these rifles.
I've also never used the Berger bullets, but I keep reading good things about them.

"Real Hip-Hop" fans are hurting hip-hop and Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" is proving it
I'm guessing some of you were wondering why we haven't posted a review for Kendrick Lamar's new album "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" yet. Well, I was interested in hearing the response from some people in the general hip-hop community. And from a large portion of it, I was disappointed, but knew I would be.
Before the album came out, the expectations were extremely high. His breakout album from 2011, "Section 80" received high praise and every song he's been on since has gotten better. Combine that with the fact that every album this year critics predicted to be a classic (Lupe, Nas, Big KRIT, etc) wasn't, skepticism was extremely high.
And I understand that the "Is this album a classic?" debate wears everyone down. It's like when someone calls everything racist, when something finally is, no one believes them. So, could this new MC who's already dropped a near-perfect album rise to the occasion and make something better for his introduction onto the main stage?
In my opinion? Yes, and then some.
Let's start with the question of what people want from a rap album: Dope production, lyricism, story telling, cohesiveness, though-provoking subject matter and overall real substance. That's all here. And for the "I Hate Mainstream Radio" fans like myself, most of the songs are longer than five minutes, making them non-radio friendly. The entire album clocks in just over an hour with no fillers whatsoever. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Artist Statement
Pablo Picasso once said, "All art is a lie – a lie that makes you realize the truth." My images are intended to evoke a human feeling, rather than being an attempt to "re-create" reality. The only "realities" that exist in my work are paper and ink. My work is the result of my fascination with all of Creation, from the tiniest detail to the broadest expanse. My viewpoint or "perspective" is unique because my Creator gave me an insatiable appetite for discovering the beauty that surrounds me, and the ability to express that beauty in visual form. It is what sets my soul free. For nearly 30 years, I created photoserigraphs, building layers and layers of color with high contrast films from black-and-white negatives. The transition to digital in 1998 was an easy one. It was simply a matter of discovering the software tools that matched my vision. For me, a camera and computer are simply an extended list of tools I use as a means of expression. I make myriads of decisions while looking through the limited expanse of camera and lens. The release of the shutter is just the beginning of a process that takes me on a visual journey to express truths revealed by the wonderful shapes, tones, and lines around me. Through the use of flat shapes of color and various filters and techniques in PhotoShop, my work takes on an abstraction of the realities I experience on a daily basis. No matter how abstract my work becomes, it is based on the actual beauty discovered around me. My place on this Earth is not a location, but a mission — to make a spiritual connection with all the locations in which I find myself, and to share that spiritual connection with others. In the end, it is the invisible that is true reality, and viewers are encouraged to find that true reality for themselves.I discovered early on in the digital world that the term "gicleè" had come to mean "reproduction of a different medium", so I coined the word "digigraph" to denote an original medium produced in multiples by digital means. Purists may argue that it's a digital means of reproducing photographs, but my "digigraphs" also connote manipulation of the image by digital means. My "brush" is my mouse.

A man's body was found in a Goose Creek park Wednesday, and it's being treated as a homicide, Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said.
Several children found the body about 5 p.m. in Dogwood Park, which is off Liberty Hall Road, Salisbury said. The man had no identification on him. Salisbury could only describe him as a white male, probably younger than 50. He said he could not comment on any visible wounds or apparent cause of death until after an autopsy Thursday.
The coroner's office and Goose Creek police are investigating.

By Ms. Rachel V Goodspeed (USACE)September 28, 2009
WIESBADEN, Germany -- Almost 2,000 years ago, several Roman military bases were established along the Rhine River in western Germany, including one in Mainz - a large Roman city known as Moguntiacum. Because of its strategic location, historians surmise the base housed as many as four Roman legions.
So it was no surprise that archeologists discovered Roman artifacts and ruins in the middle of an Army family housing construction project at the south end of the Wiesbaden Army Airfield - less than five miles from Mainz.
Not only is the Main-Nidda road nearby - a road known to be used by the Romans to transport soldiers and supplies - the area is ripe for agricultural opportunities, said Guido Schnell, a student from the University of Mainz supporting the excavation effort.
"There's a river nearby, the soil is good, a transport road is nearby and a Roman army training camp is nearby making it the perfect place for a Roman settlement," he said. "And Germanic enemies most likely would not attack them because of its proximity to the base - they would have the whole Roman army to deal with."
As foundation work began on the $133 million project, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District, archeologists from the German state of Hessen and the nearby university began excavation efforts in search of artifacts and ruins.
So far, remnants of a stone wall, pieces of decorative brick and pottery, coins and raw lead have been unearthed. Schnell said it will take some time before they know exactly what they found due to the state of the find.
"There is no useful stone left here. During the medieval times, people from nearby villages would take the stone away to build their own homes and walls," he said. "All we have left is the remnants - it could be a wall, it could be pavement, could be parts of steps, part of a wall or a room from a larger structure."
Dr. Guntram Schwitalla, an archaeologist with the State of Hessen, estimates the ruins to date back to the second or third century after Christ. Although they could possibly be dated early, the team is waiting for the results of carbon dating.
"Often ruins are not clearly defined," he said. "The Roman camps were generally only here for two or three weeks, and then they would take everything with them when they left. So generally there isn't much left for us to find."
So far, Schnell said they have not found anything that would cause them to halt construction.
The cultural resources were identified as part of an environmental baseline study, which is conducted prior to construction to assess the current condition of nature and landscape within a project site to identify potential rehabilitation or compensation measures.
Excavation efforts are expected to continue through November, depending on what else is discovered.

No stranger to meeting people from all walks of life in her role as host of both The Talk and Big Brother, Julie Chen experienced the ultimate meet-and-greet July 9: with William and Kate.
The occasion, which Chen attended with husband Les Moonves, president and CEO of the CBS Corporation, was the BAFTA Brits to Watch dinner.
Here is Chen's take on the event, exclusively for PEOPLE.com:
My husband and I were literally at the table right behind them, and whenever someone would go on stage to say, "And tonight, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge," I had a perfect view of Kate turning to look at William. She would smile and give a little giggle and they would look into each other's eyes as if to say, "Hey, that's us!" – like, it was exciting for both of them to be referred to as that. That was very sweet.
Now Catherine, I know a lot of the British tabloids say she is too skinny; in my opinion, she is not. She looked great. She looked elegant and classy and very fairy-tale-like, but not unapproachable. The dress was that kind of dove gray that was elegant without being "look at me!" Color-wise, people usually want to make a statement, but she knew all eyes were going to be on her anyway. With Kate, the word that just kept coming to my head to describe her was demure. Appropriate. I think she defines the new monarchy in that you feel like she's young and hip, yet regal.
Now William, he was such a gentleman! He excused himself from talking to his dinner partner, got up and then, after being introduced to us, we were talking for 10 minutes. About [Rupert Murdoch's] the News of the World being shut down, he was like, "Oh yes, you may or may not know, but this all started with a frivolous incident with me in 2003 when they hacked into my phone." He was so open! We were like, "What?" We talked about polo and how he was enjoying his stay in Los Angeles.
Then the next course was going to be served, and I was afraid I missed my chance to talk to Kate. But then, when they were getting ready to leave, she walked right past my table and I quickly said, "Goodnight!" She just looked up and said, "Goodnight," quietly, so that I barely heard a whisper of her voice but I knew what she said. It was kind, friendly and soft ... NOT loud or brash. Like everything I saw her do that night, she was appropriate yet lovely.
During the evening, I noticed they didn't do much touching of one another but they didn't need to because it was all in their smiles and glances. They were at ease with one another, showing their love. It wasn't an overt public display of affection; you just saw it in the energy between them and the way they looked at each other.
They look picture perfect and they kind of are once you get to meet them! She is a reflection of him, and he was such a good guy, mature and gentlemanly yet friendly and open, a guy you'd want to go out and have a drink with. In fact, I felt like if I could have talked to William a little longer, I could have told him a funny dirty joke and he would have laughed! I thought, this guy has impressed me so much, I know he thought long and hard about his decision to ask her to marry him and in the end, he made the right choice. I feel like he got it right not just for the monarchy but for his soul.

Corn, Wheat, Soybeans Climb on Signs Import-Demand May Increase
Corn futures advanced for the first time in five sessions and wheat and soybeans gained as recent declines may have made U.S. supplies more attractive to importers and investors, amid signs of stronger global demand.
Corn dropped 3.8 percent in the four sessions before today. A weaker dollar, down 1.8 percent this month against a basket of six major currencies, also may boost the appeal of U.S. grains. Russia's corn crop could fall 24 percent this year on dry weather, according to Moscow-based researcher SovEcon.
"The macro environment is supportive for corn with the U.S. dollar being weak," said Kona Haque, an analyst at Macquarie Group Ltd. in London. "Fundamentally, we remain very bullish on corn. Clearly there are going to be spillover effects into soybeans and wheat."
Corn futures for December delivery rose 1.5 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $5.5875 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade at 11:18 a.m. London time. The most-active contract has gained 13 percent this month, partly because the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Oct. 8 that domestic production would fall 3.4 percent from a year earlier, more than expected by analysts.
"Since the USDA report, the market cannot be complacent," Haque said. "We're looking at a global deficit and a U.S. deficit. We need more production to avoid a sharper deficit."
Russia may import more than 2 million metric tons of corn in the marketing year that started July 1, mostly from Ukraine, Andrei Sizov Jr., SovEcon managing director, said yesterday. That's double the level of imports forecast for the country by the USDA.
'Buy Opportunity'
Corn imports by Russia from the U.S. may be "several hundred thousand tons," with deliveries unlikely before the start of 2011, Sizov said. SovEcon forecast higher imports for Russia after it estimated on Oct. 15 that the nation's corn crop will fall 24 percent from the previous year to less than 3 million tons.
"It's probably seen by some as a buy opportunity," said Michael Pitts, commodity sales director at National Australia Bank Ltd., referring to the price declines. Russia's corn imports are "obviously supportive" for prices, he said.
Ukraine, the world's fourth-largest corn exporter last year, set a 2 million-ton limit on shipments of the grain from yesterday through to the end of the year, according to a resolution posted on the government's website.
Ukraine Quotas
Ukraine also set limits of 500,000 tons on wheat exports and 200,000 tons for barley. The government, which forecast Ukraine's grain harvest will decline by 16 percent this year to 38.6 million tons, had debated whether to introduce export quotas since August as it sought to control domestic food prices after a drought damaged crops and inflation accelerated to 10.5 percent last month.
Soybeans for January delivery gained 7 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $12.02 a bushel in Chicago. Soybeans for export inspected at U.S. ports rose 22 percent from a week earlier to 59.4 million bushels in the week to Oct. 14, the USDA said yesterday.
Egypt, the world's biggest wheat importer, plans to buy at least 55,000 tons from the U.S., Canada, Australia, Argentina, U.K., Germany or France in a tender today for shipment in December, Nomani Nomani, the vice chairman of the state-run General Authority for Supply Commodities, said yesterday. Japan said today it plans to buy 122,861 tons of the grain.
Wheat for December delivery gained 1 cent, or 0.1 percent, to $6.91 a bushel in Chicago. The price is up 2.5 percent this month. Milling wheat for November delivery traded on NYSE Liffe in Paris fell 0.7 percent to 212.25 euros ($295.39) a ton.

Sweet Sounds
Judith Berger | Dec 28, 2011, 11:44 a.m.
Imagine never hearing "I love you," the sound of your own name or the stillness of a snowfall. Everyday, life is made up of millions of sounds we take for granted. Much of the human experience is based on communication -- to understand and to be understood. For more than 30 million adults in the United States, substantial hearing loss is a reality; and nearly three out of every 1,000 babies are born deaf or hard-of-hearing.
The reality of this, and what could be, drives Dr. Christina Runge, PhD., CCC-A, an associate professor, chief of communication sciences and director of the Koss Cochlear Implant Program in the Department of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her research focuses on cochlear implants and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder.
Doctors at the Medical College of Wisconsin perform approximately 100 cochlear implant surgeries a year. More than 41,000 adults and 25,000 children have received implants in the United States.
Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder is a hearing condition in children. "With ANSD, a child may hear beeps, but not speech," she said. "Many times parents think it's an attention problem, but it isn't. It's like dyslexia of the ear. The sound goes in, but gets mixed up. It's a problem with the cells and nerves of the ear."
The inner ear is made up of a snail-shaped chamber called the cochlea, which is filled with fluid and lined with rows of tiny hair cells. When the vibrations move through this fluid, the outer hair cells contract back and forth and amplify the sound. When the vibrations are loud enough, the inner hair cells translate them into electrical nerve impulses in the auditory nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. When the nerve impulses reach the brain, they are interpreted as sound.
Dr. Runge describes the effects of ANSD as hearing bursts of static. It can be diagnosed, however, practitioners can't determine the severity of the disorder. Dr. Runge is working on the problem of defining the level of impairment and developing tests to diagnose ANSD at an earlier stage. "Defining the severity of impairment early gives the patient a better outcome."
Diagnosing and defining impairment in infants is key to prevent delay or impairment of speech development. Wisconsin has a newborn screening program in place, Dr. Runge said, however, hearing loss can happen after birth.
Practitioners, clinicians and researchers listen to parents who suspect their child may have a hearing issue. "Parents usually see their child's pediatrician first because they know something is not right with their baby's hearing. Maybe the baby won't startle or respond to sounds," she said. Parents are then referred to a pediatric otolaryngologist.
Cochlear Implants:Controversy or Cure
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, a cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. The implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin. An implant does not restore normal hearing. Instead, it can give a deaf person a useful representation of sounds in the environment and help him or her to understand speech.

Rene Descartes is among the most significant mathematicians and philosophers in the European tradition. In mathematics, he founded analytic geometry by displaying how geometrical figures could be described by algebraic formulae; he did much to establish infinitesimal and differential calculus and clear the path for the mathematics and physics of Leibniz and Newton. He discovered the law of refraction and the anaclasic curve in optics; he formulated a plenist and mechanistic theory of matter in physics, a conception that was translatable into mathematical terms. His treatment of the body as a machine—in humans and animals alike—paved the way for mechanistic approaches in physiology and medicine. His reflections on scientific method …

Angelo Dundee loved to spin a story. In a career that saw him train the greatest boxers of two generations - Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard - he had an unlimited supply of tales to tell, but he couldn't resist mixing the fact with the fiction. After all, it's the way you tell 'em.
Take, for example, Ali's first win over Henry Cooper at Wembley Stadium in 1963, when Cooper knocked the future world heavyweight champion down with a left hook at the end of the fourth round before Ali (who was then still Cassius Clay) came back to stop Cooper

Shipping Rates: Flat Rate Boxes Usually Save Money
U.S. Postal Service flat rate envelopes and boxes can be a big money saver under the right circumstances. But you have to be careful. That's because there are now seven domestic USPS flat rate size and rate combinations, and potential cost savings depend on a fairly complicated comparison of package volume, weight and distance.
Use a Spreadsheet to Compare Rates
The easiest way to manage this problem is to create a spreadsheet that presents all the rates in one document. There is a flat rate mail comparison chart that I use and you are welcome to download a copy by clicking here.
How to Shop Flat-rate Shipping
Step 1 – Pick a flat rate envelope or box that will contain your shipment, loosely. Pack the items and then weigh the package and contents.
Step 2 – Find the priority mail charge by weight and zone on the spreadsheet, and compare this to the flat rate for the smallest envelope or box that works for your shipment.
For example, if a medium flat rate box (FRB1) that is 11″ x 8.5″ x 5.5″ is large enough for your shipment, and if the ship weight is 5 pounds with a zone 3 delivery address, you can quickly compare the $8.15 priority mail rate to the $10.35 flat rate. In this case, you would waste money by shipping at the flat rate.
But, if the delivery zone for that 5-pound package was instead zone 8, the priority mail rate increases to $17.50. So, using a flat rate box in this case would cost much less.
You can also add UPS or FedEx ground rates or USPS first class mail, media rate and parcel post rates if you anticipate using these other delivery options in place of USPS priority mail delivery.
The extensive range of U.S. Postal Service flat rate envelopes and boxes can be a huge money saver if you ship in volume, but it also pays to shop flat rate shipping against regular delivery costs on a shipment-by-shipment basis.

I've found the post office to be the cheapest for anything under 2 pounds. Especially if you can fit into the $4.95 flat rate envelope or box.
The flat-rate envelope and small, flat-rate box for $4.95 are perfect for shipping 1-3 of our products. The cost is low enough for us to secure small orders. However, when we need to make the leap to a medium, flat-rate box, the cost more than doubles to $10.35. (We do receive a small discount when we purchase postage at usps.com). When the cost is at this level, I've found that our FedEx rates are usually the same or less for a package averaging 15 lbs, depending on the package's destination. With FedEx you also receive much better tracking capabilities and declared value coverage up to $100 at no additional charge. Right now we offer our customers the option of U.S. Priority Mail on smaller orders that weigh 11 lbs or less. Because our customers can compare rates and select between FedEx and USPS during checkout, not very many of them select U.S. Priority Mail if they're at or above the $10.35 mark. FedEx Ground is often cheaper.
USPS is coming out with a Flat Rate Envelope LEGAL in 2011. This will allow you to have even more FRE stuffing opportunities. Many manufacturers forget to consider shipping dimensions in the design process. If they did, they have a competitive advantage over other manufacturers. In the end, with all things being equal, I will create packaging that can fit strategically inside a Flat Rate envelope when the product can't be shipped via by less expensive methods. Even if your product is smaller than a Flat Rate envelope, think about your packaging so perhaps multiple quantities could fit in a Flat Rate envelope. Flat Rate is one of the best inventions of the post office — more manufacturers should take advantage of the shipping method.
Is there an updated spreadsheet with shipping rates?

Comment from bulldog77 on a congressional effort to exempt Georgia from the Endangered Species Act during the drought:
As for the poor Florida mussels and the bill to "temporarily" cancel the Endangered Species Act ...
While it may seem absurd to the congressional delegation to keep water for the mussels and none for us, the attempt rid us of the Endangered Species Act in the name of the drought is a sham. Most of these guys have wanted to get rid of that for years and this "temporary" hold on it will just be one step closer to getting rid of it. While it is true that all of us are hurting because of the drought, the mussels don't get the opportunity to plan for a drought, the Georgia congressional delegation, the governor, all the folks at EPD and the statehouse do (the Athens-Clarke County mayor and commission too). Our lack of water is a planning problem pure and simple. We don't have reservoir capacity to store sufficient water in times of drought. It is not like this is the first time we've had a drought, nor will it be the last. While the drought itself is a natural process/occurrence, the lack of foresight and planning are purely manmade.

Thomas Becket
In 1163, a quarrel began between the British King Henry II and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. The men had been good friends, but each felt that his interests should be of primary concern to the nation and that the other should acquiesce to his demands. Becket fled to France in 1164 in order to rally support from the Catholic French for his cause and also sought an audience with the Pope. After being officially (although not personally) reconciled with the King, Becket returned to England in 1170, only to be murdered as he prayed in Canterbury Cathedral by four of Henry's Knights. Three years later, he was canonized and pilgrims—Henry among them—have made their way to his tomb ever since.
