Customers of First National Bank can get into the Greeley Stampede for free with the flash of their debit card throughout the duration of the event.
It's a new promotion that the Stampede and the bank have worked out as part of the bank's sponsorship of the Stampede Western Art Show.
"With the success we had last year and with new leadership at the Stampede, we really wanted to do something that would be different and unique and help keep the momentum going for our event this year," Stampede chairwoman Trudy Sargent, said in a news release. "If even a few families who might not have put the Stampede on their radar give us a try this year because of this promotion, we are confident they'll have a great time and consider making the Stampede an annual tradition."
There are no restrictions on how many times customers can get into the Stampede with the card, either. Just flash the card at the gate. The card is good to waive entrance fees for only the cardholders, however.
All residents can get coupons for $2 off gate fees for free at the city of Greeley, 1100 10th St., and all King Soopers locations. The coupons are good for one day's admission only. With coupons, kids age 6-12 and seniors 61 and older can get in essentially for free, while residents 13-60 can get in for $3.

PlayStation All-Stars Feels Familiar in All the Wrong Ways
A few neat elements can't stop me from having a bad feeling about this.
The main gripe I had regarding my time with the game was ironically with one of the main elements that was completely cut from its acquisition of Super Smash Bros. features. One of rare and refreshing aspects of Nintendo's brawler is that a skilled (and lucky) player can survive after taking an insane amount of damage, yet still deliver a few knockout blows to his or her competitors. The percent damage system that resides over all three installments of the series helps change each match dynamically depending on the state of the respective combatants. It's a system that's worked well since the inaugural Nintendo 64 title, and will hopefully continue to work well on the Namco-developed Wii U/3DS installment.
All-Stars removes itself from this winning system by completely forgoing any form of damage in exchange for having each successful attack slowly raise your special meter. This three-tiered system can be used as soon as you pass the first threshold, or be saved up for a screen-shattering mega special at the third level (Kratos turns into a giant version of himself, while PaRappa delivers an world-destroying freestyle). The only way to score a knockout blow on your opponent is by connecting with a special attack, and while there is a bit of strategy regarding whether you save up your meter or opportunely use it at a lower level, I couldn't help but feel like my fighters were wrestling around using incredibly cushy boxing gloves up until the point someone would use a special attack. Without a rising health gauge, so much of the brawling in the game comes across as sterile and unimportant, which is not a good feeling to have during a fighting game. Nevertheless, it's not all overcast on All-Stars, particularly when it comes to the care that was delivered with the levels, and more specifically, their mashing of elements.
Unlike Smash Bros., where each stage is quite obviously representative of a single title or franchise, Sony has decided to take the comic book crossover aspect of the genre one step further by melding different games within each individual stage. While battling on Sandover Village from the original Jak and Daxter, you'll have to avoid the oncoming golf balls of various Hot Shots Golf-ers as they drive their shots from a distant island straight onto the battlefield. Likewise, Ratchet and Clank's stage quickly becomes unfamiliar as the iconic Hydra from the original God of War crashes through the city and breaks down the divide between ancient mythology and future technology. While I'm still quite skeptical over how the final product will turn out, the TLC that Sony is giving each stage so far is something that demands to be admired.
It also has to be mentioned that the game supports Sony's much touted cross play support flawlessly. Throughout the course of my time with the game, I switched back and forth between rounds from the PS3 version to the Vita, and both not only played identically, but more importantly played well with one another. At no time did I feel hindered because my Vita screen was smaller, and likewise, I never felt like playing on a television brought any sort of lag to the match whatsoever. It was a perfect transition as I battled my opponents from handheld to television and vice versa, and that is something that gives me a lot of confidence going forward with Sony's plans for widespread cross play.
While I was talking to Jeremy about my time with the game, he reminded me that part of the reason Smash Bros. has been so successful is not because of its stellar mechanics, but rather because Nintendo consoles have been a relative wasteland when it comes to fighting games over the past three generations. This lack of competition, coupled with the fact that Nintendo fans are, by very definition of the word, fanatical, certainly contribute to the series' undying wave of love and admiration. With Sony not having quite as rabid a fan base, along with those fans having a console that is home to a wealth of fantastic fighting titles, one has to wonder whether this ode to PlayStation will be able to tap in to that magic formula that Nintendo seems to be able to master time and time again.

Played it At E3Posted: Jul 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by Chuck_the_Plant
And as much as I really, really wanted to like it...it kinda sucked.
Jump Ultimate StarsPosted: Jul 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by speedracer216
Imported and loved that game. What a handheld SSB could be! Again the great appeal there was the characters. PAS has too many similar characters to choose from. Nintendo has a plumber, gorilla, dinasaur, etc. Mascots doing something totally out of the norm: killing each other.
Boring.Posted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by sprode
I can't work up any real interest for this for two reasons.
1. I don't care about Sony characters the way I do Nintendo's. And there is something about watching Pikachu take a bat upside Yoshi's head that Sony can never achieve.
2. It's a clone, and a clone that depends upon the most gimmicky part of the last SSB game.
I'm sure it will do well though, having a bunch of Sony faces in it. I'll stick to the original that did it the right way.
I get a chuckle from some of these comments.Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by ghost_7
Anyways...i preordered my copy after finding out that The buzz coming from the "majority" of people who have spent a considerate amount of time playing it found the game FUN and a Blast to play. Myself, after owning SSBB on Wii...i know for fact that a the very least, the ONLINE component/matches will be FAR far far better on Sony's brawler. As for characters? Please. The Playstation game catalogue across 3 Generations is over 7,000+ titles...i'm pretty sure they'll have no problem trying to find characters for their title. My. 02
People Said The Same About Street Fighter x Tekken...Posted: Jul 16, 2012 12:00AM PST by gigantor84
...and I got sick of that game in, like, a month. This after being really excited about it, unlike this game, despite all the complaints--which turned out to be entirely valid in the end.
The game is no better a 50-50 shot with me, at absolute best. It doesn't have NEARLY as much going for it as other fighters out this year, or those that have yet to come out.
Yeah, No.Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by gigantor84
The whole concept of making a blatant Smash Brothers clone that hinges solely on Final Smash-type supers sucked out any hype I had for this game. That, and how Sony doesn't have nearly enough interesting exclusive characters for a game like this to begin with. And I say that even though I've been a loyal Playstation owner for over 15 years.
I have no clue what Sony was thinking when they greenlit this. It was such a ridiculous idea.
I'll be there, but...Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by shady78
not sure how *long* I will be actually playing it (a problem that I also have with Nintendo's product). These types of games just tend to feel a little light and flighty.
"One of rare and refreshing aspects of Nintendo's brawler is that a skilled..." Looks like you missed the 'the' over there.
I'm not surprised.Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by jgusw
Unlike many people, I can't stand Smash Bros. I think the game is crap. It amazes me so many people love the game. Maybe I'm just playing it wrong and the desire to play it again is long pass gone. The annoucement of this Playstation game is just more crap, without Nintendo's neat characters, on a different console.
"It's the characters, stupid"Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by CuteIgor2
Not to sound like an @ss, but every fighter that's tried to copy Smash has failed to inspire thus far. Simple fact is Sony just doesn't have enough popular original IPs. Nintendo has over 30 years of rich history and a multi-generational fanbase to draw from. How do you even begin to compete with that when creating your own fan-targeted fighting game?
Knockouts only by special attacks?Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by TheNoahBorges
The one reason I see this failing is mentioning that players can only be knocked out by someone using a special on them and that they would need to keep building that meter in order to perform more specials which feels far too repetitive to be fun and really makes it lose some strategy/tactics.
Smash Bros. had it so that you could sometimes recover from awesome attacks and get back in the fight if you knew how to traverse the environment and was not limited to just ring-outs as the HP mode let players "fight to the death" with a set amount of damage and once they reached it, they were done. Maybe PAS will be able to offer multiple modes such as this if they really want to copy SSB's formula.
AgreedPosted: Jul 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by Metroidvaniac
I don't mind the idea of Sony ripping off SSB as much as many others seem to (although I'm not interested in any of the characters so far), but this information has really turned me off. What, did they look at Brawl and say, "Yeah, those final smash attacks are ok, but imagine how much more fun it would be if they were the only way you could knock out oppenents!" or something? I'm sure they'll include other modes (much as I like Smash's percentage system, they also have a plain old HP bar option), but if this is the one they've got in the demos, it's probably the one they're pushing to the forefront, and that bothers me.
Smash Bros has been ripped off beforePosted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by Pombar
In the stellar Jump -Stars games (JSS, JUS), which used flat HP bars as well as knock-outs. I have faith that this game can bring another variation to the formula without feeling entirely derivative.
Definitely half the fun of any fighter from a casual perspective is the cast, and this one's shaping up nicely thus far.
love it or hate it...Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by lyfestory
... youre not going to fall in between really... i know most of the people that are hating on it are Nintendo fanboys.. and those Sony fanboys are gonna love it.. this article is basically pointing their fingers mostly at people who own both a Nintendo system and their game and a PS3.. obviously, if youve grown up with the Sony lineup over the past 15 years, and you like fighting games as such, then this game is worth trying out.. gmaes have been ripping each other off for years.. who cares.. if its fun, play it.. if not, then dont waste your time and stop trying to give people illegitimate reasons to stay away from it...
Good lord...Posted: Jul 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by Smokeeyedsteve
Lmao, IT'S TOO SIMILAR TO SMASH!!!...IT ALSO SUCKS BECAUSE IT DOESN"T HAVE SMASH'S PERCENTAGE SYSTEM!!
Seriously make up your f-ing mind. I'm tired of all these stupid websites knocking games for not being similar enough to other games or different enough from other games. Capcom, Konami, Naruto, frickin Digimon all have arena fighters. Only reason all of you gamesite nerdlings get your panties in a bunch is because Sony decides to do it.
I don't even think this game will be that good;looks pretty clunky. I just get annoyed when I read articles that look like they were written by disgruntled idiots blissfully ignorant about the subjects they are writing about.
Wow...Posted: Jul 14, 2012 12:00AM PST by McBiggitty
You need to relax. I suggest lighting some candles, drawing a bath, and listening to some Enya.
I think you're missing the point, Smokeeyedsteve...Posted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by GamerLioness
I think the author of the article was trying to convey that PlayStation All-Stars copies many elements of Super Smash Bros. without keeping in the right parts. If a game is going to be blatantly similar to another, then it should try to improve on the formula or offer something unique.
I Loved itPosted: Jul 13, 2012 12:00AM PST by EKGTrooper
I've got nothing negative to say about it. It was addicting from the word go. Super fast paced, super frantic, and requires skill. No button mashing here unless you like failing. I'm all for this baby when it launches. It looks good, control better, and is exactly what I always wanted out of Smash Bros. I couldn't ask for more. And I only played 15 mins of it! I can't wait for more.
I just want to point out how absolutely hysetical I find it that people are making a big deal over this game becauase it borrows a lot from Smash Bros. Did anyone make a big deal when Microsoft borrowed a ton of ideas from Sony when making their console? Did anyone make a big deal out of Nintendo ripping off Microsoft's controller design for the Wii U? Did anyone make a big deal when Microsoft completely ripped off Gran Turismo with its Forza series?
I don't remember anyone complaining when that blatant rip-off landed on store shelves. What about when Nintendo annouced their "Home" rip-off at E3? I don't recall anyone writng articles about how Nintendo was ripping off Sony (who ripped off Second Life). I can sit here and list dozens of ways Microsoft and Nintendo ripped off Sony, but you will never see any articles about that. However, as soon as Sony borrows ideas from one of the other two, you see articles all over the net bashing Sony.
I'm just saying, a journalists true colors shine brightest when they write articles like this...I'll be paying attention next time Nintendo or Microsoft borrows ANOTHER idea from Sony...
Hmm...Posted: Jul 13, 2012 12:00AM PST by McBiggitty
I really have no qualms with cribbing ideas from your competition, so long as you do it well. For instance, Sonic Racing Transformed owes a debt to Mario Kart, but it brings its own unique ideas and innovations to the table, making it a compelling product.
And the implication that I have some sort of agenda against Sony is kinda funny considering that my PS3 is pretty much turned on all day. I prefer to play any multiplatform game on PS3, I use it as my multimedia player, and most of my favorite games of this generation were played on the PS3. Does that show my true colors?
@EKGTrooperPosted: Jul 15, 2012 12:00AM PST by GamerLioness
"I just want to point out how absolutely hysetical I find it that people are making a big deal over this game becauase it borrows a lot from Smash Bros."
The problem I (and likely others) have is that PlayStation All-Stars borrows from Super Smash Bros. without improving on much of anything. I haven't played PSAS, but is it really anywhere near as good as any of the SSB games? Does it offer anything particularly interesting or unique that would have people playing it for months and years to come? People still play Melee (the GameCube SSB game) to this day, and that game is about 11 years old now!
"Did anyone make a big deal when Microsoft borrowed a ton of ideas from Sony when making their console?"
Which ideas are you talking about?
"Did anyone make a big deal out of Nintendo ripping off Microsoft's controller design for the Wii U?"
I don't see how Nintendo ripped off of Microsoft's controller design. Are you talking about the Pro Controller? The shape is the same, but the button layout is totally different.
Did anyone make a big deal when Microsoft completely ripped off Gran Turismo with its Forza series?"
With a realistic racing series, how different can you get? I wouldn't consider Forza a rip-off of Gran Turismo, because a realistic racing simulator is a realistic racing simulator. Microsoft wanted one on their system, so they made one. PlayStation All-Stars, on the other hand, is a fighting game. Fighting games can and should differ from each other. Super Smash Bros. is different from Street Fighter. Street Fighter is different from Soul Calibur. Soul Calibur is different from Skullgirls. You get the point.
"What about when Nintendo annouced their "Home" rip-off at E3?"
You mean the Miiverse? Unfortunately, it's not quite as intricate as Home or Second Life, so that's a poor comparison.
Is Sony aware how fighting games work?Posted: Jul 13, 2012 12:00AM PST by floackle
After all the lament over Special Bars used in Street Fighter 4, Blazblue, Tekken, and so on, and how any "instant win" button in a fighting game is inherrently a bad thing, they believe that designing the entire system around that ability is a good idea? I don't follow the train of thought.
Still...Posted: Jul 13, 2012 12:00AM PST by spacezoomer
Y'all are probably gonna unscrew my head and shit down my neck for saying this, but I'm still kinda interested in it. If only because I'm a PlayStation fanboy, and like the thougt of knocking Kratos' teeth in. Bnd I also enjoy Smash Bros, the game that it's so blatently ripping off. I hardly know what to completely feel about this game.
I felt much the same way until I played it.Posted: Jul 17, 2012 12:00AM PST by Chuck_the_Plant
Then I was very sad. Seriously, don't waste your money. It's a bad fighting game.

China has gradually improved the structure of the financial system through ongoing economic and financial reforms, but, compared with the developed market economies, there are still defects in some areas. The current situation in which financial development lags behind the pace of economic development is largely the result of the fact that there are structural flaws in the financial system, so the government must take actions to restructure and optimize the financial system.

True confessions: I've been known to engage in chart chasing.
"Chart chasing" is a nickname coined by StreetAuthority co-founder Paul Tracy to describe the practice of running to the nearest digital device to pull up a price chart whenever someone mentions a stock.
And why not? On the surface, a quick glance at a price chart seems to tell you a lot. In a split second, you can see where a stock is currently priced in relation to its history. And, depending on the program, you can compare that stock's performance with any other company and the market as a whole, to mention just one possibility.
Chances are a lot of you are chart chasers, too. After all, for an investor, what's more rational than the urge to punch a ticker symbol into a waiting chart program after encountering a stock for the first time?
But it's what you do -- or don't do -- after you check out the chart that counts. It can mean the difference between making money in the stock market and losing money.
For instance, if your "buy" or "sell" decision is based largely on whether the trend line is sloping upward (or downward, as the case may be), then you could be asking for trouble. That's because "historical price charts in and of themselves are meaningless," Paul asserts. "Future performance AFTER you buy the security is what really matters."
For one of Paul's classic examples of chart chasing gone awry, take a look at this stock...
What could be better than a 344% gain in less than a year and a half, with no let-up in sight?
How about an endorsement from CNBC's Jim Cramer...
"Yes, (the company is) expensive here, selling at 38 times next year's numbers," Cramer told his Mad Money viewers in October 2011. "And there are concerns. But no, I'm not worried anymore. Not after this quarter."
...or a vote of confidence from Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB), which in February 2012 boosted its price target on this company and reiterated its "Buy" rating...
Following a meeting with management, "We picked up some incremental positives that reinforce the unique nature of (this company's) growth story and suggest comps and the earnings multiple could stay elevated for some time," the bank wrote in a note.
That's Wall Street speak for, "We think this stock is a 'buy'."
And this stock WAS a buy -- until it wasn't...
Two months after the Deutsche Bank plug, reality began to set in for Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) and its theretofore enthusiastic shareholders.
Here's what Chipotle 's chart looks like since the stock hit a 52-week high of $442.40 in April 2012...
After fluctuating in a sideways-to-downward-trending pattern for several months, Chipotle tanked nearly 22% in a single session in July after the company released a disappointing quarterly report.
The plunge wiped out all of the stock's 2012 gains. The culprit -- substantially slower traffic growth at the chain, which the company blamed on a sluggish U.S. economy and slowing consumer spending.
Like yesterday's newspaper, the chart merely "reported" what happened to Chipotle's share price on that summer day -- it didn't anticipate the move, which likely left many Chipotle chart chasers wondering what hit them.
With a chart, "the only data you have is past market behavior," says Paul. "At this point you know little to nothing about what actually makes this company work (or not). Price charts don't tell you anything about a company's underlying fundamentals."
That's especially important to keep in mind as the market edges closer to its all-time highs, taking many companies along for the ride -- some deservedly so, many others not so much.
So what's the antidote to the seductiveness of upwardly-sloping charts?
In the following interview, Paul gives a preview to a short webinar he put together exclusively for subscribers to StreetAuthority publications. In it, Paul discusses what he has found to be the key to consistently making money in the stock market, no matter what the environment. To view the webinar, follow this link.
Bob: Why do so many "chart chasers" lose money in the stock market?
Paul: They lose money because they put too much emphasis on the wrong information.
Let me explain.
The average small investor looks at historical price charts... reads a few analyst reports and a few website articles... perhaps listens to what the talking heads have to say on CNBC... and then he or she makes a decision to buy a stock.
This approach is dangerous.
I know for a fact that it's dangerous because, to be perfectly honest, this is how I used to invest. And back when I invested this way, I lost money in the stock market.
But about a decade ago I started taking a different approach, and in recent years that approach has helped me consistently make money in the markets.
That's why I put together this webinar. Because I want to help our readers become better investors.
And if you want to become a better investor, then the first step is to stop focusing on irrelevant information.
Price charts don't tell you anything about a company's underlying financial performance. They also don't tell you whether or not a company is consistently returning money to its rightful owners -- its shareholders.
Sadly, the average small investor puts too much emphasis on historical price charts. In doing so, they look for companies that have delivered consistent share price gains in the past, and they incorrectly assume that those gains will continue in the future. But if 20 years of investing has taught me anything, it's this...
Past share price behavior is not the best predictor of future performance.
So when an investor looks at a stock's price chart and uses that data to make a buy or sell decision, I believe he or she is making a big mistake. And sadly, this is exactly what millions of small investors across the globe do every single day.
Bob: What should investors be looking at instead? What have you found to be the key to making money in stocks?
Paul: I believe the following factors are the most important things to look for...
1. Companies that dominate their markets
2. Companies that have clear competitive advantages that keep rivals at bay
3. Companies that generate enormous cash flow
And most important...
4. Companies that return an increasing amount of money to shareholders each year through dividends and share buybacks
This last point is critical.
I don't view stocks as lottery tickets, and I don't look to buy them one day and sell them at a higher price a few days or a few months later.
Stocks represent ownership in a business, and my goal is to invest in some of the world's greatest businesses and to hold those stocks for the long haul. And as I explain in my webinar, if you're going to buy a stock and hold it for the long run, then as a rightful owner of the business, you should receive your fair share of the company's profits.
With this in mind, I don't personally invest a cent in any business unless it either pays dividends or buys back its own stock... or ideally does both.
This approach is supported by countless research and academic studies.
For example, dividend-paying stocks have a long history of outperforming the market through good times and bad. The chart below tells the whole story.
From 1972 through 2011, members of the S&P 500 that pay dividends returned 8.6% annually. That's enough to turn a $1,000 investment into $27,036. Meanwhile, non-dividend payers returned just 1.4% per year, turning that same $1,000 investment into just $1,710.
And as you can see, companies that grow their dividends have done even better. That's why I look for companies that boost their payments to shareholders year-in and year-out.
Bob: Based on those criteria, what's a current favorite of yours?
Paul: Probably the single best example of this right now is Intel (Nasdaq: INTC).
If you look at a historical price chart for Intel, it looks downright ugly. The stock has moved up and down a bit, but it has literally gone nowhere for ten years.
After looking at the price chart, millions of small investors have come to the conclusion that Intel is "dead money."
But I think they're wrong.
You see, although Intel's share price has been stagnant in recent years, the company has been creating huge value for its shareholders through dividends and buybacks...
Cumulative Shares Repurchased
This value will eventually be reflected in the share price. And I'm more than happy to sit back and collect Intel's solid 4.4% (and growing) dividend while I wait for that to happen.
Meanwhile, Intel dominates its industry (it controls about 80% of the microprocessor market), it has clear competitive advantages that keep its rivals at bay (the firm builds cutting-edge chips thanks to its huge research & development budget), and it generates enormous cash flow (about $20 billion a year).
As the company moves aggressively to capture its share of the booming market for smartphones and tablets, I'm convinced Intel will continue to reward its shareholders with even greater dividends and share buybacks in the years to come. And that should translate into big gains for investors.
Bob: Intel? Really?
Paul: Yes... Intel's stock has gone nowhere for the last ten years. And yes... I know that for many investors, that makes it emotionally challenging to invest in the company now. But if you ignore the price chart and you focus on the underlying fundamentals, Intel is an outstanding "buy" right now.
I'm sure I'll get some hate mail on this, and that's fine. But remember -- I'm not suggesting you buy Intel a decade ago. I'm suggesting you buy it today. And if you buy the shares now, then the last 10 years of share price movements are irrelevant. They won't impact your total FUTURE returns by a single cent.
Action to Take --> Instead, I think you should focus your attention on the four lessons I outlined earlier. Do so, and I'm convinced that you'll not only become a better investor, but you'll also make much more money in the markets.
By following this link, you can learn in 28 minutes the same successful investing strategy that took Paul years to hone. And if you read the interview above, you're already a step ahead. Paul's webinar will be available here only through Thursday.

By Salvatore SalamoneJune 14, 2005 | When the new six-story, San Francisco home of the J. David Gladstone Institutes recently won an award for its design, at least part of the credit showered on its architects should have been shared by Gladstone's information technology officer (ITO), Reginald "Reg" Drakeford, and many of Gladstone's researchers.

Not so for Gladstone's data center, says Drakeford, who notes modern high-performance computing equipment defies earlier norms that allowed standardized building designs to be sufficient. Today, a simple change from stand-alone rack-mounted servers to blade servers radically alters the distribution requirements for electrical power and equipment cooling in a room.
By including IT and other research disciplines early in the design process, the Gladstone project avoided many post-design complications. "It's an IT dream to start from scratch and work with an architect on design," Drakeford says. It is likely Gladstone's researchers feel much the same way — they toured a number of labs around the country and subsequently provided input on the layout of their workspaces during facility design.Making SpaceClose quarters was a major issue for Drakeford, who says the space allocated for the data center was about half of what was traditionally needed to support the number of researchers expected in the facility. Fortunately, his 20 years of Naval service have proved useful: "I have experience making things work in small spaces," he says.Gladstone's ITO chose to take advantage of the latest server, telecommunications, and interconnection technologies. One example is Drakeford's choice of voice over IP (VoIP) technology. The VoIP PBX system requires just seven rack units (7U) of data center space, compared with the digital PBX used in the old facility, which required an entire equipment closet.
With respect to the servers, Drakeford selected blade servers. "They offer more power in a small space," he says. "We were able to replace three 5U servers with one 7U blade server which can hold 10 servers. That's a gain of 20Us of space."
Packing so many computers into such a tight space requires a different approach to cooling the equipment — a common issue in high-performance computing centers. In the past, the solution was to cool the entire room, but this is not energy efficient. More recently, the trend is to focus the cooling and heat removal directly onto server racks. That was the case here. "The cooling is very focused," Drakeford says.
Drakeford also made room in the data center for his staff. "No matter how good the equipment, it's only as good as the people managing and running it," he says. He set aside space for a workbench that can be used for troubleshooting problems and making equipment repairs and upgrades.
Interestingly, a side benefit of the data center's focused cooling strategy is a more comfortable environment for staff. "The temperature in the room is about 68 degrees around the equipment and a more normal room temperature near the workbench," Drakeford says.
The new Gladstone facility, which opened late last year, is designed to support state-of-the-art research conducted by its three constituent institutes (cardiovascular disease; neurological disease; and virology and immunology).Each institute occupies a floor within the new building. Floors are laid out in three long strips with administrative offices on one side of the building, facilities for high-end shared equipment (e.g., electron microscopes and sequencers) down the middle strip, and "open lab" space on the other side. It should be noted this particular floor layout reflects input from Gladstone researchers. In March, the San Francisco Business Times designated the building the city's "Best New Office R&D Development," noting the building's combination of innovative aesthetic and practical features.
Awards aside, economical use of space will enable Drakeford to match the institutes' anticipated growth of research staff from 325 to about 520 in a few years.

Patric Young Still Chasing NBA Dream
Former Florida Gators?most draft-worthy prospect?Patric Young is still hopeful of making an NBA roster and accomplishing his lifelong dream of playing at the next level.
Within 24 hours after not being selected in the 2014 NBA draft, Young landed a spot with the New Orleans Pelicans summer league which begins? in Orlando on July 5th. The Jacksonville native was projected to go in the late-first to early-second round of the draft but shockingly was not one of the 60 selections. The 6-foot-10 250 pound big man, confirmed on Twitter.
? Patric Young (@BigPatYoung4) June 27, 2014
According to Gainesville Sun reporter Kevin Brockway, Young says that despite going undrafted, he?s still looking forward to proving that he can play in the NBA.
Young said disappointment from draft has worn off "I still have my chance to go out there and prove that I can play in the league."
? Kevin Brockway (@gatorhoops) June 27, 2014?
Meanwhile, Former University of?Florida point guard Scottie Wilbekin who also went undrafted, has accepted summer league invitations with both the Memphis Grizzlies in Orlando and the Philadelphia 76ers in Las Vegas.
Scottie Wilbekin's agent announces he will play w Memphis in Orlando Summer League and Philadelphia in Las Vegas summer league.
? Kevin Brockway (@gatorhoops) June 27, 2014
There were no Gators selected in this year's NBA Draft despite a successful 2013-2014 season which included a Final Four appearance, finishing 36-3 last season, and entering the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed, but you can definitely expect Young's name to?be added to a team's roster?within the next few weeks - maybe even Wilbekin and Prather's as well.

- Abstract:
- Florence Kelley (1859-1932) was a social worker, reformer, lawyer, suffragist, and confirmed socialist. In 1891, she left her husband and moved to Chicago with her three children to become a resident of Hull-House. In 1892, Kelley was appointed by Governer Atgeld as the state's first chief factory inspector. In 1899, Kelley helped to establish the National Consumer's League (NCL) and was its director from 1899-1932. The goal of the NCL was to secure protective labor legislation including a minimum wage and a limitation on the working hours of women and children. It strove for industrial reform through consumer activity. In 1905, Kelley was co-founder of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society along with Upton Sinclair and Jack London. Kelley was also an active supporter of African-American civil rights. She helped to establish the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1909. During World War I, Kelley was a commited pacifist. She opposed U.S. involvement in the war and was a member of the Women's Peace Party (WPP) and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). Kelley was also the author of several books including Some Ethical Gains Through Legislation (1905), Modern Industry in Relation to the Family (1914), The Supreme Court and Minimum Wage Legislation (1925) and Autobiography (1927).

Biography of Florence Kelley
Florence Kelley was born on September 12, 1859 to William Darrah Kelley and Caroline Bartram (Bonsall) Kelley in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kelley's ancestors were Quaker and Unitarian by confession and well established in the political and cultural life of her state. Her father, William Kelley, was a sitting U.S. Congressman from 1860 to 1890, a founding member of the Republican Party, a Radical Reconstructionist, and an Abolitionist. Kelley's mother, Caroline Bartram (Bonsall) Kelley, was descended from John Bartram, the Quaker Botanist. Florence Kelley prepared herself for college by reading her father's extensive library and through visits with her mother's aunt, Sarah Pugh, who had strong ties to many American and British social reformers.
Kelley studied history and social science at Cornell University graduating in 1882. She spent her senior year in Washington, D.C., with her father and her essay, "On Some Changes in the Legal Status of the Child since Blackstone," was published in the International Review. Her application for graduate study at the University of Pennsylvania was rejected because of her gender. Kelley then immersed herself in work for the New Century Working Women's Guild, a group that provided aid for self-supporting women.
When her older brother was told to visit Europe as part of a cure for temporary blindness, Florence Kelley accompanied him and became a student at the University of Zurich. She studied law and government from 1883 to 1886 and married Lazare Wischnewetzky, a Russian Jewish medical student interested in socialism. Kelley joined the outlawed German Social Democratic Party while in Zurich and became acquainted with the party leadership. She translated The Conditions of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels into English and remained close to its author until his death in 1895. Kelley's own research and reform interests tended to focus on the problems of women and children. She believed that women could make unique contributions to sociology arguing that male scholarship drew upon the intellectual and ethical resources of only part of human consciousness.
Florence Kelley then tried to establish a life for herself and her young family in New York in 1886. She had given birth to her first son, Nicholas, in Zurich in 1885. She would later have two other children: Margaret born in 1886 and John born in 1888. Kelley's political ambitions were thwarted within the Socialist Labor Party as her devotion to Marx and Engels led to her expulsion in 1887. Her husband, Lazare Wischnewetsky, was unable to establish a viable medical practice in the city and became abusive toward Florence.
Fearing for her safety, Florence Kelley fled with her children to Chicago in 1891 first seeking refuge at the Woman's Temple headquarters of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She was able to publish a pamphlet, Our Toiling Children, in 1889 that criticized the economic exploitation of children in unsafe working conditions. Kelley was then directed to Hull-House. Jane Addams was reported to have been impressed with Kelley's abilities and the latter woman was soon accepted as a close collaborator by the circle of activists close to Addams such as Alice Hamilton, Julia Lathrop, and Mary Rozet Smith.
Florence Kelley completed the law degree she had begun at Zurich at Northwestern University Law School in 1895. Short of funds, Kelley placed her children in the home of Henry Demarest Lloyd and Jessie Bross Lloyd in Winnetka while she studied. Appointed special agent of the Illinois Bureau of Statistics, Florence Kelley's strong performance caught the attention of Carroll Wright, head of the U.S. Dept. of Labor, who hired her to manage a social data collection project for the 19th Ward of Chicago. Kelley used the information to create maps showing demographic information such as income and nationality for area residents. Published in Hull-House Maps and Papers, this work was a pioneering effort in sociology as well as cultural geography.
Directing her energy towards the anti-sweatshop campaign initiated in 1888 by the Illinois Woman's Alliance, Kelley worked closely with Corinne Brown. This broad-based effort linked women's groups, liberal church leaders, trade unions, and intellectuals to reduce hours, raise wages, and improve general working conditions. Florence Kelley drafted legislation that was passed by the Illinois legislature in 1893. Child labor below the age of fourteen was banned. The work of children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen was to be carefully regulated and no women or children could work more than eight hours per day. A state office of factory inspection was created and Governor Altgeld appointed Florence Kelley to serve as Chief Factory Inspector, an unprecedented post for a woman throughout the Western world. Some historians have argued that Florence Kelley's gender-specific legislation also benefited unskilled male laborers whose interests were not well protected by an American labor movement dominated by skilled workers. It proved impossible for employers in many trades to employ unskilled men for longer hours than unskilled women. Some of these gains were reversed by judicial nullification in 1895. Governor Altgeld's failed reelection bid in 1896 dramatically reduced Kelley's political support.
The next important phase of Kelley's career as a social activist began with her collaboration with Ellen Henrotin, wife of a powerful Chicago banker and the President of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC). The GFWC was an umbrella group that encompassed more than five hundred women's clubs and thus constituted the largest grassroots organization of American women in that period. Kelley worked with Henrotin to found an Illinois Consumer's League (NCL) to pursue social justice. Florence Kelley then assumed the post of secretary of the new League in 1899 and would hold it until her death in 1932. The new position offered financial security as well as an effective means for pursuing her political goals. One of the more successful campaigns of the NCL was the issue of their Consumer's White Label to companies that obeyed factory laws, did not use child labor (below the age of sixteen), did not demand overtime from employees, and produced goods only on their own premises. The NCL as a national organization also sponsored the formation of local consumers' leagues across the country that served as sources of personnel and revenue for the national NCL as well as a means of gathering information about local labor conditions. Florence Kelley vigorously pursued minimum wage laws throughout the United States. The minimum wage issue sometimes put Kelley and women's groups at odds with the male dominated American Association for Labor Legislation and other labor groups that often served the interests of skilled workers.
Kelley's efforts produced some tangible results, but not without reverses or the resistance of powerful opponents. Massachusetts passed the first minimum wage law for women in 1912. Fourteen other States and the District of Columbia would follow, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Adkins v. Children's Hospital struck down the minimum wage law in the District of Columbia as unconstitutional in 1923. The Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act passed in 1921 was the first federal legislation in American history to provide federal funds for healthcare. Kelley sought an early version of a national healthcare program, but Congress refused to allocate funds for the act in 1926. The changing political climate of the 1920s including the Red Scare weakened the NCL. Many right-wing opponents of Kelley derided her as a "Bolshevist-Feminist" and her stance on peace and disarmament did little to impress those who favored a military expansion of American capability after World War I. Kelley continued to support the work of Jane Addams in the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom despite threats and criticism. Many of Kelley's progressive ideas would ultimately become federal law (except a national healthcare system), but not until President Franklin Roosevelt and other reformers assumed power in the 1930s. A protege of Florence Kelley, Frances Perkins, would serve as President Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor, the first woman in American history to serve as a cabinet member.

UNECE Organizes Kyrgyz Workshop on Water Management and Adaptation
26 September 2011: The UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) organized a national seminar in Kyrgyzstan focused on the question "How can transboundary water cooperation help in adaptation to climate change?"
The national seminar, which convened from 26-27 September 2011, near the lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, and was organized in cooperation with the Kyrgyz State Committee on Water Management and Melioration, was organized in the framework of the "Regional Dialogue and Cooperation on Water Resources Management in Central Asia" programme, which is financed by the Government of Germany. It aimed to share experiences and lessons learned in making transboundary cooperation instrumental to tackle adaptation to climate change in basins participating as pilot projects in implementing the Guidance on Water and Adaptation to Climate Change, developed under the auspices of the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes and adopted in 2009.

What can I say?I believe the worlds gone mad.So much shit happening so fast,All I can do is shake my head.
THOUSANDS of Spanish medical workers and residents angered by budget cuts and plans to partly privatise the national health service have marched through some of Madrid's most famous squares.
More than 5000 people rallied in Puerta del Sol on Sunday, according to police estimates, after marching from Neptuno and Cibeles squares. Organisers estimated attendance at 25,000 protesters, many dressed in white and blue hospital scrubs.
The march, called "a white tide" by organisers, was the third such large-scale protest this year.
Fatima Branas, a spokeswoman for organisers, said privatisation plans were short-sighted because they did not take into account that savings could be made without selling off services.
"What their plans really mean is a total change of our health care model and a dismantling of the system used," she said.
Madrid's government, under regional president Ignacio Gonzalez, maintains cuts are needed to secure health services during a deep recession.

Beginning the Conversation:
Integrating Geriatrics Education and Practice
In 2009-10, the John A. Hartford Foundation conducted a communications audit to explore opportunities to amplify and augment the work of our grantees and impact of the Foundation. One of the audit's key findings was that respondents encouraged the Foundation to more deliberately link its investments in education and training programs with those made to support the new models of practice and service delivery. This echoes recommendations suggested in the 2008 Institute of Medicine report, "Retooling for an Aging America" and recognizes the critical relationship between the success of clinical and service models designed to improve the care of older patients and what happens in education and training efforts in academic and practice settings. We also know that information must flow in both directions between clinical care and the education sector in order to create the workforce we need for the 21st Century.
GSA Event: An Initial Conversation
Since the audit, the Foundation has launched a Strategic Planning process that is reviewing its grant making approaches generally. As part of this work, and in an effort to learn more about how we might better connect our education and service grants more effectively, the Foundation hosted a small, group discussion at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) Annual Meeting at the Boston Sheraton Hotel on Saturday, November 19. In addition to Foundation program staff, 19 people attended including several Foundation grantees and a number of service delivery leaders in the Boston area (see Appendix A). A lively and informative conversation ensued (See Appendix B for the meeting's agenda).
Christopher Langston, Program Director of the Hartford Foundation, opened the discussion by framing the issue and the gathering's objective, which was to "start a conversation about the connections between the care needed for older adults and the education and training required to prepare a workforce to deliver that care." Ultimately, he said, the Foundation was hoping for ideas that "will make the most difference now in improving the health of older adults."

Uses Existing Patrol Vehicle Laptop.
No bulky hardware means lower Cost of Ownership.
With the basic CopTrax system, the patrol vehicle laptop processes the captured video and uses the display for the user interface. Now, with the new CopTrax II, its internal computer manages the processing. The system footprint is a small front-facing camera, a rear window and a rear-seat infrared cameras, and a small interface module. Separate wireless microphones capture speech and audio during the incident and synchronizes it with the video signal.
Being a software solution, CopTrax is priced less than other video systems. New updates don't require new hardware and new laptops don't require new software. Plus, secure Cloud storage eliminates the backoffice expense of file storage, archiving, and labor.
In the long run, CopTrax costs less to own.
Video Uploads Automatically.
Video uploads to Cloud or Server without human interaction.
Video evidence is automatically uploaded through either 3G/4G cellular connection or wireless Wi-Fi, based on the fastest transfer available.
When a recording is stopped, the upload process begins immediately without officer interaction.
Video segments are automatically indexed according to date, time, and event identification, and by officer identification, GPS data, vehicle identification, case number, and type of incident.
Watch streaming video in real time from any
Internet-connected computer.
Record events WHERE they happen.
View events AS they happen.
Watch a traffic stop, warrant service, or any other event in real time using CopTrax Live Look-In through the CopTrax Command & Control Center. At the same time, see the big picture with real-time GPS map positioning of all CopTrax-enabled assets using the Automatic Vehicle Location feature.
Taken together, Live Look-In and Automatic Vehicle Location provide command staff the big picture view needed to make informed decisions based on real-time video and audio as an event unfolds.
Simple, Intuitive, Officer Interface.
Administration and User settings are clear and intuitively placed.
A simple user interface composed of a video preview and two toolbars is presented to the officer on the patrol vehicle laptop. Large buttons such as "start/stop"and "input data" are intuitive and clear.
When the CopTrax system is connected to the vehicle's radar, speeds are clearly shown on the radar display
window right on the laptop.
Video Files are Safe and Secure with Commonality of Architecture.
Wireless, automatic upload maintains chain of custody by assuring the video evidence is untouched by human hands. Files can be uploaded to the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant Microsoft Government Azure Cloud storage for 24/7 security, backup redundancy, and high-speed access.
Powerful video file management through the CopTrax Command & Control Center Dashboard enhances security, yet allows easy access and searchable archiving.
Powerful On-Board Computer.
CopTrax II moves video processing tasks from the patrol vehicle's laptop to its own integrated computer. Doing this has the dual benefit of relieving the patrol vehicle laptop of some of its processing load, while shifting the processor-intensive video tasks into a standardized environment. Both systems are controlled through the vehicle laptop's touch screen.
24-Hour Background Recording.
No Lost Video Evidence.
Redundant background recording ensures that no video evidence is lost by activating automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. Running in the background, it captures up to 120 hours of video on a separate internal drive. When the main CopTrax video system records an event, both the event video and the background video are saved.
On-Board Backup Battery.
A built-in battery backup maintains operation even if the vehicle's battery is fully discharged. This allows an orderly system shutdown during the outage.
On-Board Impact Sensor.
User configurable accelerometer with crash/pursuit settings.
1280 x 720 HD Video.
The CopTrax II System now records in HD-quality video for sharp, clear video evidence in all types of lighting environments while recording speech and sounds with exceptional clarity. State-of-the-art H.264 video compression keeps video file sizes small.
Preset Triggers Launch Video.
Officers focus on the task at hand without worrying about recording.
The system fully integrates into the patrol vehicle and can be activated by up to 8 trigger events without officer interaction. Triggers include lightbar activation, siren, speed, and many more software setup presets. This way, officers do what they do best.
Automatic Patrol-Area Monitoring.
Use technology to respond to public inquiries and transparency.
A perimeter around any area can be drawn using the Command & Control Center Dashboard's simple tools. When entered or exited by a CopTrax-enabled vehicle or device, text messages or e-mails are sent to designated individuals.

Do you enjoy the taste of tuna? If you answered yes to that question, there's a very large chance that you actually enjoy the taste of many bizarre and exotic imposter 'fake tuna' fish types that have been peddled and mislabeled by the seafood industry and restaurants alike — even a 'snake mackerel' fish linked to side effects like anal oil leakage.
The new genetic testing campaign kickstarted and funded by the nonprofit organization known as Oceana, a group whose mission statement involves protecting the world's oceans, reveals that 59% of tuna is not only mislabeled but is almost entirely compromised of a fish once banned by the FDA. Sushi restaurants were the worst offenders by far, but the tests spanned throughout restaurants and grocery stores alike. Altogether, the findings oust over half of tuna fish as fraudulent.
As you can see for yourself in the report by Oceana, the numerical breakdown of tuna fraud (especially 'white tuna') paints a picture of just how far companies will go to deliver rubbish products and deceive the consumer:
- Between restaurants and grocery stories in the US alike, 59% overall of the tuna tested was definitely not tuna as found by genetic testing.
- Sushi restaurants had the worst record, with every single restaurant's 'tuna' tested in major cities like DC, Chicago, Austin, and New York City coming back as fraudulent.
- A whopping 84% of 'white tuna' was actually escolar, the snake mackerel fish that causes oily anal leakage and was banned by the FDA until 1992. It is still banned in Japan, Italy, and requires warning labels regarding the leaky discharge in Canada, Sweden, and Denmark.
Rampant Food Mystery Ingredients | From Fake Tuna to Horsemeat
The blatant lack of knowledge regarding the actual ingredients in so-called 'tuna' products is reminiscent of recent food ingredient disasters such as the Burger King horsemeat incident, in which Burger King was forced to admit that consumers had been eating either horse or donkey meat in their juicy Whoppers for who knows how long. An admission that not only grossed a lot of people out and emotionally touched a lot of horse lovers, but brought up a great consideration: we really don't even know what we're putting into our mouths.

About This Book
Life in Harlem isn't easy, but Tippy and his grandmother are doing okay. Then Grandma Carrie gets sick, and Tippy goes to live with Lonnie, his father. Lonnie's got his own thing going on, and he doesn't have much room in his life for a son he barely knows — unless, that is, Tippy is willing to walk the far side of the fine line between right and wrong.
Grandma Carrie always said if he had Jesus in his heart there wasn't anything to worry about, but sometimes it's not that simple. When the chips are down, will Tippy be able to call for help — and is there anyone out there who will listen?

Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $2,643.75
1935 cover to The Xavier (Vol. XIV, No. 3) beautifully inscribed in black fountain pen by Babe Ruth: "To Cadet Major Roger Damio - Sincerely Babe Ruth." Both the inscription and signature are very strong and bold, grading "8/9" overall. The cover notes that this is the "Easter Issue," thus it was probably signed in early spring of 1935.

The school was founded in 1847 and in the 1880s became known as a Jesuit military day school. In 1935, the year of this program cover, its regiment became a Junior R.O.T.C. program. The cover (7.25 x 10 inches) has a few insignificant areas of light discoloration, as well as a few tiny tears along the border edges (all of which have been matted out). While technically in Very Good condition, the piece displays as Excellent. It has been handsomely matted and framed to total dimensions of 12.5 x 15.75 inches. LOA from James Spence/JSA.

i-Blue – Hyundai's third generation Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle
September 5, 2007 The Frankfurt Motor Show is the premier European show of the year this year and not surprisingly, the manufacturers are all putting their best environmental foot forward. For relatively new international auto companies such as Hyundai which don't have a history of premium design to fall back on, they have to work much harder to make waves in an international showcase and from the photos at least, this work appears to have paid off. Three new cars will be unveiled by Hyundai at Frankfurt, and the two concept cars are beauties.
First of the trio to be revealed at the show, which opens to the public on 13 September, will be the i-Blue Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle.
i-Blue will be joined by the Veloster, a stunning coupe concept, and the production version of the hugely practical i30 estate.
In keeping with this year's IAA show theme of sustainability and climate protection, the i-Blue demonstrates a significant step towards commercialisation of hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles. Hyundai is making tremendous efforts to achieve mass production using the technology within the next decade.
The hydrogen-powered, zero-emission concept was developed at Hyundai's Design and Technical Centre in Chiba, Japan. The all-new platform is tailored to use Hyundai's third-generation fuel cell technology, currently being developed at the company's Eco-Technology Research Institute in Mabuk, Korea.
Unlike its predecessors, which were built on SUV platforms, the i-Blue is a new D-segment 2+2 crossover utility vehicle (CUV).
"The i-Blue is Hyundai's first-ever model designed from the ground up to incorporate fuel cell technology, marking a tremendous leap forward for our R&D program," said Dr Hyun-Soon Lee, President of Research and Development. "Our engineering team has successfully designed a more compact fuel cell vehicle, while still realising the safety, comfort, convenience and driving range of a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle."
Styled at Hyundai's Design and Technical Centre at Namyang, the Veloster coupe is the third in a series of daring concept cars to be developed by the company's central styling studio in Korea. The Veloster name, a combination of velocity and roadster, evokes the sporty characteristics of a sporty two-plus-two. A panoramic glass roof and other futuristic styling cues help project a high-tech image.
Designed to cater to the tastes of the so-called Y-generation, Veloster combines simple, iconic design with good value and robust construction.
"With Veloster, we wanted to try something really different. We're keenly aware that we need radically new products for the Y-generation, the first-time buyer in their twenties," said Oh Suk-Geun, Hyundai's vice president of design. "This is really a bold new direction."
i30 Estate
Following the successful launch earlier this year of the i30 5-door hatchback, Hyundai is proud to introduce an even more spacious version. Like its 5-door sibling, the i30 Estate was styled at the Hyundai's Design Centre in Russelsheim ensuring that it is perfectly in tune with European tastes.
A stretched wheelbase ensures that the i30 has an appetite for luggage which would embarrass many cars from the next segment up.
Full details and prices will be revealed nearer the model's international launch in early 2008.

CHARLESTON - Despite losing their motel room and belongings to a meth lab health scare, the four Martinsburg High School basketball players most directly impacted by the event are in good spirits and ready for today's semifinal game again George Washington High School.
Thursday, Kanawha County health officials closed the team's motel - the Motel 6 at 6311 MacCorkle Ave., Charleston - because of contamination remained from a methamphetamine laboratory that had been operated at the motel in January.
The Associated Press is reporting state health officials have shut down the motel temporarily because the room - that had yet to be decontaminated from the previously discovered methamphetamine laboratory - was rented to members the Martinsburg team. According to the AP, some of the rooms were shut down due to contamination and others are still being tested. One of those contaminated rooms was rented this week to the team, said Brandon Lewis, coordinator of the state Bureau of Public Health's clandestine drug laboratory remediation program.
Friday afternoon in an interview with the The Journal, Seniors Blake Hull and William Thompson and sophomores Elisha Freeman and Jason Hill said they were ready to continue the Bulldogs' trek to a state championship.
"I feel we're dealing with the adversity," said Hill, seated with his teammates in their new hotel in South Charleston. "We're just here to play basketball, so we can win a championship."
Martinsburg plays defending state champion George Washington in one semifinal at 5:30 p.m. today.
The opposing team, however, is just one of the challenges facing Martinsburg. The four players lost all of their belongings when health officials closed the motel. Hull lost some money he had left behind, and Thompson's laptop computer remains in the quarantined room. They players lost all of their clothing and other personal belongings.
Even the players' uniforms were taken. Junior varsity uniforms are being shipped from Martinsburg for today's game.
"Everybody's good," Martinsburg coach Dave Rogers said. "The kids seem to be in good spirits."
The players went to a hospital Thursday night for testing. They were examined, but the boys said no blood tests were given because they were told they exhibited no signs of meth contamination.
"I guess we're glad we're OK," Thompson said.
Freeman added, "It could have been worse."
"This gave us some memories," Hill said.
The players admitted they were angered that their team was even housed in the hotel.
The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission arranged the rooms. Coach Rogers said Gary Ray, executive director of the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, said he knew nothing about the meth bust or the problems with the rooms.

Society Café is one of the vegan-friendly casual dining restaurants at Wynn Las Vegas serving American cuisine. The menu has a small section of vegan dishes such as the infamous "Wynn" Double Down burger. We enjoyed our dinner at the Society Café and the service was sterling. Our server (I wish I knew his name, but he was Asian) was well aware of our vegan dietary needs and made sure we had a vegan mustard butter that goes with our complimentary salted pretzel rolls. He continually checked in on us to see if we need more complimentary pretzel rolls without taking our plates off the table, which was pretty generous.
Las Vegas: Society Café at Wynn Complimentary vegan pretzel rolls, both were white and pumpernickel and very delicious. My favorite one was the pumpernickel. They come with a vegan mustard butter.

Las Vegas: Society Café at Wynn The current vegan menu from early December 2012, we only tried the "Wynn" Double Down Burger and the Orecchiette pasta.
Las Vegas: Society Café at Wynn Vegetarian, vegan, and allergen menus are available upon request.
Vegan Salted Pretzel Rolls Both were the pumpernickel and the white ones in a cute silver tin. Tasty ones.
Vegan Pumpernickel Salted Pretzel Roll It was a a complimentary appetizer, yet enjoyable. That was my favorite one. The other one was the white, regular salted pretzel roll.
Vegan Mustard Butter Such a tasty condiment for these yummy salted pretzel rolls. I wish I can take it away with me, or buy their recipe.
Pineapple mojito with sugar cane Doni wanted me to try their cocktail, so I did. It was a very tasty cocktail.
"Wynn" Double Down Burger That was Doni's $15 dish, which consisted of double Gardein burger patties, soy American cheese, fries and a chocolate shake. The dish was simple, cute, delicious and traditional. It was a good cheesy burger along with an incredibly rich vegan chocolate milkshake and a side of crisp fries.
"Wynn" Double Down Burger The double Gardein burger with loads of soy American cheese. It looked like your ordinary old-fashioned burger! On the side, you have the option to add lettuces, pickles, a slice of tomato, and red onion. I didn't have a notebook at that time, and pardon me if I did not include all the ingredients as the photo was taken few months ago.
"Wynn" Double Down Burger Comes with a side of crispy, flavored french fries. It felt like having an awesome burger meal at an upscale casual restaurant.
Vegan Orecchiette Pasta This was my dish, and it came with foraged mushrooms, asparagus, green and yellow beans, roasted tomatoes, brussel sprouts and broccoli rabe. It was expensive at $19 than the "Wynn" Double Down Burger, but it was a very delicious pasta dish with sauteed fresh seasonal vegetables. I loved the sauce and everything combined in it. It made my stomach happy.

A project of People For the American Way dedicated to monitoring and exposing the activities of the right-wing movement. Learn More >
Arlington Group
The Arlington Group (AG) is the newest coalition of the leaders of Religious Right groups brought together by right-wing strategist Paul Weyrich and Don Wildmon, head of the American Family Association, to coordinate activities. The group is widely credited with being the driving force behind the effort to put marriage protection amendments on the ballot in 11 states in the 2004 election.
The Arlington Group
801 G Street NW
Washington, DC 20001
Website: www.arlingtongroup.org
Founded/Place: 2002 in Arlington, Virginia
Executive Director: Shannon Royce
Membership: Members include the heads of 75 (as of September 2006) Religious Right groups such as Paul Weyrich, Don Wildmon, James Dobson, and Gary Bauer. The complete list of members and their affiliations is located here.
Read the latest news on the Arlington Group on the group's Right Wing Watch index page
The Arlington Group describes itself as a "powerful coalition of leaders from the pro-family community, [that] develops and executes national and grassroots strategies to: protect the traditional institution of marriage, increase respect for every human life, limit judicial activism, and act on other moral issues of concern."
- The group is credited with much of the effort to put marriage protection amendments on the ballot in 11 states in the 2004 election. According to member Paul Weyrich, the resources to go "full-tilt" in Ohio were raised by group members. Arlington Group members contributed $1,989,545 million in 2004 to pass ballot measures nationwide. In Ohio their contributions totaled $1.18 million, 98% of the total expenditures for the Ohio ballot.
- AG works to organize support in the African-American community for a federal marriage amendment. In 2004, the Rev. William Owens, head of the Coalition of African-American Pastors in Memphis organized a meeting of his organization with the executive board of the Arlington Group. Owens is now a member of the AG Executive Committee.
- In 2005, the Group threatened to withhold support for the President's proposed Social Security reforms if Bush did not actively work to pass a federal marriage amendment banning same-sex marriage. A letter sent to White House political adviser Karl Rove said, "We couldn't help but notice the contrast between how the president is approaching the difficult issue of Social Security privatization, where the public is deeply divided, and the marriage issue, where public opinion is overwhelmingly on his side."
- When Justice Sandra Day O'Connor first resigned from the Supreme Court, The Arlington Group quickly announced plans to run a multimillion-dollar campaign to pressure the administration to select a right-wing successor. The group planned to target 20,000 pastors and congregations and use Christian talk radio and television, direct mail, and grassroots organizing.
- The group offers voting recommendations on 2006 ballot initiatives across the country.
"People who voted for (Bush) voted for him to put in conservative judges," Tim Wildmon said. "We'll have to see what he does. We've been disappointed before by presidents who said they were going to do that ... and then appointed judges who voted to uphold Roe vs. Wade and have been liberal on other social issues.
"I feel this time, with the strength of our groups, hopefully President Bush will do the right thing. If he wavers, we're here to let people know."
–Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association describing the Arlington Group's influence
"For the first time, virtually all of the social issues groups are singing off the same sheet of music, this has never happened before. From the beginning of the pro-life movement through the development of the pro-family movement, everybody did their own thing. But working together we have helped to reelect the President and added a number of conservative senators."
–Religious Right strategist Paul Weyrich speaking about the Arlington Group

NEW YORK (AP) — Julianne Moore is set to play former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in an upcoming TV film.
HBO Films said Wednesday that Moore will star in the film "Game Change," which follows John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign from when he chose Palin as his running mate through their defeat in the general election.
The film is based on the bestselling book of the same name.
No other cast members were announced, and HBO did not say when production on the film might begin.
Moore is a four-time Academy Award nominee. Last year, she starred in the critically acclaimed film, "The Kids Are All Right."
What do you think of her taking on the role? Can she pull off a convincing Palin? Is there a better option?
