Graduation Requirements
All Washington public high school students are required to meet statewide graduation requirements in order to earn a diploma. The goal is that more students will be better prepared to meet 21st-century demands in their working and personal lives.
Within these pages, families, students and educators can learn more about each of the new requirements, including what each requirement is designed to do and how students will be supported.
To earn a high school diploma, a student must:

Earn Certificate of Academic/Individual Achievement
The Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) and Certificate of Individual Achievement (CIA) tell families, schools, businesses and colleges that an individual student has mastered a minimum set of reading, writing and math skills by graduation. State law (RCW 28A.655.061) dictates the assessment graduation requirement.
The CIA is for students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP). As 10th graders, students in special education programs can earn a CIA by passing the Basic option (passing with a score of Level 2 or higher) or via theWAAS-Portfolio. In grades 11 and 12, students who have not yet earned a CIA may also use the Developmentally Appropriate Proficiency Exam (DAPE), which allows students to take the HSPE at a grade level that best matches their abilities.
Students through the class of 2012 can earn a CAA/CIA by passing the high school reading, writing and math exams. If they do not pass a math exam, they can still earn a diploma by earning two credits of math after 10th grade.
Students in classes of 2013 and 2014 will be required to earn a CAA/CIA by passing a reading, writing and math exam. Beginning with the class of 2015, students must pass reading, writing, two end-of-course math exams and one biology end-of-course exam.
In addition to passing state exams, students can meet their assessment graduation requirements by passing state-approved alternatives, or Certificate of Academic Achievement Options. To learn more about CAA Options.
Complete a Culminating Project
In order to graduate, students must design and complete a project on a topic of their choice, and present their project to other students, teachers, parents and/or community members. This integrated learning project helps students understand the connection between school and the real world by studying a topic they like and presenting their findings to teachers, community members and other students.
Click here to view the CHS Senior Project Handbook or the HFHS Senior Project Handbook.
Complete a High School and Beyond Plan
The High School and Beyond Plan gets all students thinking about their future and how to get the most out of high school, so that they're ready to pursue their adult lives, no matter what direction they plan to take.
Ideally, students write their plan in 8th or 9th grade and then continue to revise it throughout high school to accommodate changing interests or goals. Students should be encouraged to include the following elements in their plan:
- Their personal story – what experiences, interests and goals are shaping who they are now and who they want to become
- Their learning style
- Their goals for high school – what their four years of high school look like, including classes, extracurricular activities, sports, a job, etc.
- Their goals for immediately after high school – a student's plan should include the classes needed in preparation for a 2- to 4-year college, vocational or technical school, certificate program or the workforce
Each school district determines the guidelines for the High School and Beyond Plan. Please contact your local school district to obtain a copy of the guidelines that have been established for your district.
Lessons on Creating a High School and Beyond Plan
Download the lesson (PDF) for creating a High School and Beyond Plan. The lesson (from Navigation 101) introduces the four-year plan to 9th graders.
The Graduation Toolkit is produced each year by OSPI to help educators and families understand Washington state graduation requirements. This guide is available online for easy viewing and in a downloadable format for printing.

Great Books About Safety
You know me, I am a firm believer that sometimes kids are more likely to pay attention to things when it doesn't come straight from Mom or Dad. That's why I love turning to books to help me reinforce certain issues -- and safety lessons are one of those areas. Sure, I may be reading the words, but Kiddo is paying attention to the character, seeing what is happening, and how to be safe via the story and fantastic illustrations rather than a lecture or a reminder of what she "must do." Some of my favorites are below:
Watch Out! At Home (Watch Out! Books) by Claire Llewellyn and illustrated by Mike Gordon - This is a great series, with books featuring how to stay safe at home, on the road (like crossing the street and such), in the town (what to do if you get lost or if there are big dogs), around water (swimming and boating safety), and so on. This one for safety at home has easy-to-identify illustrations and short blurbs for younger kids to get the full grasp of what they are saying. It deals with sharp objects, staying away from hot cooking surfaces, electrical dangers, and more. Really, all of these are great additions for your home library.
I Said No! A Kid-to-Kid Guide to Keeping Your Private Parts Private by Kimberly King and Sue Rama - Like the title says, it is kid-to-kid: this book is a written from a kid's point of view, a great tool to introduce this difficult topic to your kids. It has easy-to-understand ways and examples about dangerous situations, clearly tells the reader what to do in that situation, and also asks questions of the reader, which opens up the door for conversation between you and your kids.
I Can Be Safe: A First Look at Safety (First Look at Books) by Pat Thomas and illustrated by Lesley Harker - Written by a psychotherapist and child counselor, this one really hits almost every way a child can learn to be safe and what he or she can learn to do to embrace and own that safety. Think learning their parents' names and phones numbers, to knowing what to wear for sport safety. It's also part of a larger series, so check out others that can help with a wide variety of topics and issues - perfect for reading with your kids ages 4-7.
Do you use books to help with tough topics? How do you start a difficult conversation with your children?
I think that's the best idea.
Quoting KristinRox:
I dont usually use books. I like to sit down and get right to the point. I might look for the "watch out" series listed above though.
That's awesome...we never had things like that in school
Quoting suziejax:
My dd is 12 and she is reading her 6th grade Abecka health & safety school book for the year and learning so much from it! I call her my little safety patrol girl because she sets up our fire safety rules and she always points out when something or someone is doing something unsafe in the house lol

Another day, another BS apple patent....i mean, not their fault as they just submitted the application, it was USPTO that approved it, but still...Likely this will be overturned if ever questioned, come on USPTO!

Keep the improvements coming apple. It's good for tech as a whole
10. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I would have to disagree with you here. It doesn't deserve a patent at all...

While it may benefit Apple, how does it benefit tech as a whole? Every time any of these companies patent something, all it does is force their competition to find a work around, or "reinvent the wheel". Rather than working on something new, they have to spend time, money, & resources to accomplish essentially the same thing. I've said it once & I'll say it again, make a standardized patent system. If you patent something it would be available to anyone for a standard licensing fee. I wonder how much money and resources are wasted on work arounds. A patent system like the one I outlined would benefit tech as a whole.
12. darkkjedii (Posts: 21208; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
It'll drive others to one up them. Keeps the comp coming.
15. Fallout09 (Posts: 421; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Wow... Someone has their blinders on..... Apple gets awarded a patent for something that has already been developed and in use for years by other companies. Please explain how it is beneficial for those companies who have been using the tech for some time now?
19. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Everyone does that. Everyone takes advantage of the patent system because it is highly flawed. Apple is not the only one doing this, so don't just blame them.
29. tedkord (Posts: 11629; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Many do abuse the flawed patent system. But only Apple uses it as a weapon to remove competing products from the market.
35. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
In some cases you're right. But all the press wants to know what Apple is doing more than what others are doing so it's normal that someone finds more stories about their patents. You also have no idea how many patents Samsung has submitted to remove competing products. Google also made a patent that could invalid the slide-to-unlock patent because they simply explained it in a different way, and even Apple patent slide-to-unlock is ridiculous. But let's face it, in the end, consumers get everything on every platform so consumers win. ahah in all honesty, this system is flawed and has been for a long time, this patent "war" is just stupid.
46. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Because people are ignorant. You can't patent the "idea" of a mouse-trap. You can patent a process or method to trap a mouse. In fact, people continue to invent new methods or processes to trap a mouse, i.e. these people want to build better mouse-traps.
Apple's patent uses a different method or process, etc.
This is not that hard of a concept to grasp.
30. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4185; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
For newer stuff, you are correct. But again, how much effort is put forth to come up with a non infringing version of that patent. And even if all patents were available for a fee, some companies might still see developing their own version as cost effective. But either way most people would probably go with the company who came up with the patent rather than a licensee, because the original company who developed it would have a better handle on the patent vs the company who paid for the license. This way would work just as well and get rid of most of the legal BS. All these companies going to court have legal fees, and one way or another it will get passed onto the consumer.
41. mattkl (Posts: 212; Member since: 01 Feb 2010)
You mean it will aid in slowing competition so the corporation that owns the patent can have a quasi monopoly as far as law defines. Although they surpass the law when the profit to P.R. damage control ratio is favorable.
I understand how important patents can be, but unlike you I am not blind to the fact that in this case it's not beneficial for consumers as it should be.
18. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Most patents that are battled in court have the same function. The problem with the patent system is that it allows for two exact things to be approved the only difference being the way it works. Sort of like the problems with the slide-to-unlock patents. There are several that do the same exact thing but the way they are explained are different.
28. Finalflash (Posts: 3085; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
F that, did you not see the veto happen. I bet there is a special rubber stamp for Apple at the patent office shaped in the form of the President with his lips to the underside of an Apple.
36. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
That was stupid indeed but I think the same thing would happen if it was in Samsung's turf. Each country is defending their property, in this case being the US.
20. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I can't agree with you here, dark. Read the last 2 sentences of the second paragraph,
"If this sounds familiar, it's because there are multiple options that already do this like ChaCha, Yahoo Answers, and more. So, we're not exactly sure what in the patent made the USPTO think this was an original procedure."
This did not deserve a patent. The USPTO is broken, and Apple is taking advantage of it. Apple shouldn't get credit for other's work.
21. darkkjedii (Posts: 21208; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
You don't think it'll drive the competitors to better theirs though? That's what I mean by better as a whole.
25. mattkl (Posts: 212; Member since: 01 Feb 2010)
Why would (IMO) an erroneous patent drive competitors. As others have stated there are other companies that use this same technology.
This patent doesn't open the road to competition but rather having to work around the wording of the patent to be in legal compliance to use their software safely.
Competition for this type of thing can go on without ridiculous patents that just help fan the flames.
So darkkjedii please explain how an approval from the USPTO has now opened the road for competitors to better theirs? What without Apple's patent no one else would be able to compete? No, patents from these huge companies serve specific purposes, to silence all competition if possible, to stop competitors from bettering theirs. Apple isn't a small inventor in his garage trying to protect his one invention. They want monopolies. This goes for most huge corporations not just Apple.
26. darkkjedii (Posts: 21208; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Just think about it bro, you basically said it yourself.
32. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4185; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
Actually, if others have already devolped and been using the patent, it's like making yourself a sandwich and someone else coming in and taking it, then saying make your own sandwich.
Apparently others already came up with this idea, but because Apple's patent was approved first it's theirs? Does that seem fair to you? I would surely think prior art would invalidate it.
33. mattkl (Posts: 212; Member since: 01 Feb 2010)
So quote me then, or say something useful please. Or you could just be rubber and I'll be glue.
"So darkkjedii please explain how an approval from the USPTO has now opened the road for competitors to better theirs?"
I see that answer nowhere in my post. Also why would I think about an answer you CAN'T give me apparently and that you say I have already typed?
So answer if you can. You say all this stuff, you question many comments on here but you can't answer when someone asks you a simple question. Just looking for clarification on your own comment.
darkkjedii on Apple's newly approved patent: "You don't think it'll drive the competitors to better theirs though?
No I don't, not in the way it should be. So please answer your question in your own words how it will better competitors pre-patent similar products? We want to know your take on the subject not just comments you make that infer you believe that this patent is good. How is it good?
37. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
darkkjedii, i understand that its very hard for a apple fan to come into term that Apple is a patent troll.
38. darkkjedii (Posts: 21208; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Nowadays everyone's a patent troll
40. mattkl (Posts: 212; Member since: 01 Feb 2010)
I don't remember reading anyone denying this. I use to like following dark and some others on here, but your comments have been getting increasingly non related to the person you are replying to. Neat comment though.
Your blanket statement is I'm sure inaccurate, or at least not fair to say the least. I would have said I believe most of the large corporations publicly trading on the stock market fit your assessment. I feel certain that there are plenty of people and companies that use patents to correctly protect themselves and their intellectual properties and ideas, not suppress any and all just to be king of the hill.
42. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Who else use patent as an offensive weapon? Google, Samsung? Motorola?
Those companies only use patent as a leverage after being attack by Apple. So you see. Its hard to admit to yourself that Apple is the aggressive patent troll.
And Apple just bought a bunch of old patents from a defunctional company just to sue Google. If this actons is not a patent troll you are indeed just another Apple fanatics.
51. 8logic (Posts: 148; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
you know, patents on rectangles with rounded corners with glass is so progressive and benefits everyone.
yay, the evil corporation is helping us all out. please patent for more stuff so everyone will have pay them
27. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I doubt it. We don't even know how good this will be. This was just a natural progression for mobile. More than likely Google has been working on a similar feature for Google Now, and Microsoft's rumored Cortana might have it, but many Apple fans will say they copied Apple just because they brought it out first, and now that Apple has this patent, they can sue for it.
Don't get me wrong, the addition of the feature is great and all (if it turns out to be useful) but the possibilities that come up from Apple having a patent for it are all bad, especially knowing their record of ridiculous lawsuits. That's bad for tech, because Apple is trying to push out the competition with legal action rather than product quality.
50. 8logic (Posts: 148; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
so stealing someone else's idea, something that is being used freely by everyone benefits the whole????
stop drinking the koolaid~
23. androiphone20 (Posts: 1654; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
heck, this feature is being integrated into Siri
47. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Because Apple is pursuing a different method or process.
Do you know how many mouse-trap patents exist? Then why can't there be different patents to use this approach.
It would be nice if people knew what they were talking about as opposed to arguing something based on ignorance.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple patents trying to do what Apple is pursuing.
6. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
It's actually a good idea. If it was Google doing it though, certain camps would be constantly complaining about them stealing your data for their (your) own good.
7. tacarat (Posts: 769; Member since: 22 Apr 2013)
Siri sprang forth from Steve Job's head as a fully formed product. Her birth was so awe inspiring it sent shockwaves through time and space. Where do you think the story of Athena came from? Steve "Zeus" Jobs, that's where.
8. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
Google now does that. It gets smarter the more you use it, and the more you use it the more it will have answers for people asking the same question. WTH was this patent approved?
13. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
I was about to post a similar response after reading this article. This is mind boggling to me as to why this patent was approved as well.
9. W.P._Android_in_that_Order (Posts: 208; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
Apple. Stealing technology that already exists, patenting it, and then suing.
16. Fallout09 (Posts: 421; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Only in America. Makes me sad that people think that type of practice is acceptable behavior.
22. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
Or that people applaud it as acceptable behavior to steal other people's ideas and claim it as their own.
24. JewBakaUCFG (Posts: 173; Member since: 25 Sep 2012)
Oh, man. This will certainly open the floodgates to even more ridiculous answers to questions nobody really cares about. Amazing!
34. Pancholo (Posts: 380; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
I will reserve myself from commenting deeply about this unless they start suing for it.
There's just one thing I must say, though: What the freck, USPTO? The wonders of being rich...
44. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
This sounds a whole lot like Google Helpouts... or has PA and and everyone else overlooked that?
At least in the mobile aspect it does, otherwise, it just sounds like the internet in general. Anyone remember when there was Ask Jeeves?

This apartment is very well located for all tourist activities. It is spacious and all basic needs were met. It was warm all the time.
I would not call it "elegant". The linen for the spare bed we needed was in a cupboard, and the linen was not ironed - just a little thing that shows the owner cares about presentation.
My criticisms are mostlyof a cosmetic nature, and I think stem from the lack of a "woman's touch" in the apartment, which did not have a homely, welcoming feel to it.
There are some maintenance issues, most important of which is that the handle falls off the bathroom door and it cannot be closed. The frying pan fell apart when we used it.
The woman who provided the key was not communicative, and there was no-one to ask questions of, as she did not answer her door whwn I knocked. Maybe she was away.
There was washing in the machine which I finally hung up to dry when no-one came to do it.
The information provided should make it clear that the apartment is up several flights of stairs, and this is difficult for older visitors or those with small children, and carrying luggage.
Overall, we enjoyed having the apartment and recommend it to visitors if there is a bit more TLC provided.
Very nice apartment, well equipped and clean.
Very nice and helpful host, all our questions were answered quickly. Stian gave us a lot of good tips . Just 10 minutes walk to the clothhall/ center old city.
thank you Stian for your hospitality and for recommending us nice places to go and eat during our stay in Kraców. We had a very nice time in your apartment with lots of space for 4 people. The apartment is located in a nice and quiet area and in a short distance from the old town of Kraców. I can highly recommend the apartment.
Great apartment, neat and tidy, in the apartment waiting for coffee, tea, fully equipped kitchen and is very warm. Very nice host. Good location (near Market), it is easy for parking in the area, only minus I think is a 3 floor, which you have to climb with your luggage, but on arrival the host helped us bring suitcases. I highly recommend, we will go back :)
Świetny apartament, czysto i schludnie, w apartamencie czeka kawa, herbata, w pełni wyposażona kuchnia i jest bardzo ciepło. Bardzo miły Gospodarz. Dobra lokalizacja (blisko Rynku), łatwo o parking w okolicy, jedyny minus chyba to 3 piętro, na które trzeba się wspiąć z bagażami, ale przy przyjeździe Gospodarz pomógł nam wnieść walizki. Bardzo polecam, chętnie tam wrócimy :)
Stian has received us warmly and provided with good tips.
The apartment is placed close to the old town, very authentic surroundings, not a tourist walkway, still in 4 minutes only to Planty, the green belt of the old town. The apartment which requires an accommodation of its kind and is very generous, (there were three).
The heater worked well. 3 floors with no lift.
Parking is quite expensive, 150 meters from a 24 hour secure parking costs 50 PLN per night.
Stian hat uns freundlich empfangen und mit guten Tips versorgt.
Die Wohnung liegt dicht der Altstadt, sehr authentisch die Umgebung, kein Touristenlaufsteg, trotzdem in 4 Minuten nur zum Planty, dem Grüngürtel der Altstadt. Die Wohnung hat was eine Unterkunft dieser Art verlangt und ist sehr großzügig, (wir waren zu dritt).
Die Heizung funktionierte gut. 3 Etagen ohne Aufzug.
Das Parken ist hier recht teuer, 150 m entfernt ein 24 Stunden bewachter Parkplatz kostet 50 Zl pro Nacht.
Rekommenderas! Fräsch lägenhet med mycket trevlig planlösning. Vi bodde 4 st vänner där. Bra utrymme. Inget för handikappad då det var på 4.e vån utan hiss. För oss var det perfekt, lugnt och tyst. Bra läge i förhållande till centrum. Fick bra hjälp av lägenhetsinnehavaren.
Die Wohnung ist super zentral gelegen. In 5 Minuten ist man zu Fuss in der Altstadt. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war freundlich und einfach. Die Schlafzimmer sind geräumig und die Betten sehr bequem. Alles in allem ist die Wohnung sehr gut eingerichtet. Einziges Manko ist der kleine Boiler. Mehr als 2 Personen können nicht warm duschen. Insgesamt kann ich die Wohnung aber wärmstens weiter empfehlen.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

This Iowa State Fair act is on fireUPDATED 7:20 AM CDT Aug 14, 2014
See these guys at the Fairview stageVideo Transcript
The seventh day of the iowa state fair had a lot to offer. Our ryan smith is live at the fairgrounds with the latest on a very crowd-pleasing performance. There's a lot of acts, rides and live performers to see throughout the fair - but one act stands a part by standing together - literally- on top of each other - while juggling flames. The Iowa state fair is filled with sights, sounds and tastes that will please just about anyone. But for the most visually- stunning live performance 9.11 "IT'S SHOWTIME! CHEERS" with a lot of wow factor... 11.45 - SECOND FIRE TRICK - STANDING ON SHOULDERS Look no further than the red trouser show. 21.59 "THE FLEXABILITY ON THEM WAS AWESOME." 22.43 "FIRE JUGGLING, KNIFE JUGGLING." 22.50 "IT'S AMAZING THAT THEY CAN DO THAT."

Does anyone have or know of a source for 8 1/2 x 11 or similar size silhouette targets (human silhouettes, not animal)? I'm looking for something I can download or even buy in this size. Thanks in advance!!!

There's a CD called Click-n-Shoot that has at least one humanoid silhouette that size on it.
Midway and Dillon's catalog,
The Blue Press both sell the CD.

You can use paper bags to get two silhouette targets. You cut them up the middle, then cut the head out of the bottom parts. Round off the "shoulders" if you want. Simple, cheap, effective. Got the idea from someone else in a previous thread, don't have a link to the instructions though, but it's very simple anyway.
Example, please ignore my "group", was just having fun shooting from different positions :cool:
October 20, 2004, 10:15 PM
Holy free targets, Batman! Check this (http://www.targetz.com/targets01.htm) place out. Page 7 has at least six silhouettes. The paper bag is not a bad idea, but I haven't seen a paper bag at the grocery store in years.
Mr. Mysterious
October 20, 2004, 11:27 PM
Thanks for the link mattz357, it's now bookmarked and will get lots of use. God knows that a sheet of paper is cheaper than buying targets.
October 21, 2004, 12:06 AM
I lived in Alaska for many years until end of 2003, and all the grocery stores had both paper and plastic. Same down here in Cincinnati area. it must drive the baggers crazy to have to ask "Paper or plastic?" a thousand times per day.

After nearly two decades of loyal and effective service in Washington, D.C., Pete Hoekstra deserved a better fate.
It all started when our former congressman from West Michigan's 2nd Congressional District left the U.S. House and ran for governor in 2010. He ran a strong campaign and got his name around the state, but finished second to an unknown phenomenon named Rick Snyder.
Then came this year's bid for the U.S. Senate, which never really got off the ground. First he announced he wasn't going to run before abruptly changing his mind. I doubt that bit of indecision inspired much confidence among voters.
Then he kicked off his campaign with an ill-advised Super Bowl ad featuring an Asian woman that drew howls of protest and accusations of racism.
It was all downhill from there.
There could have been a silver lining for Hoekstra if Mitt Romney had captured the White House. Few people may remember, but Hoekstra was an early Romney supporter in the 2008 presidential race and served as the candidate's unofficial national security adviser.
With his previous experience as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Hoekstra might have been on the short list for White House national security adviser. But fate threw him a double whammy on Election Day.
Oh well. Hoekstra and his wife are small town folks who never cared much for the phony, backstabbing culture of our nation's capital, anyway. He spent his entire career in the House sleeping on the couch in his office and flew home nearly every weekend. Now he never has to leave his beloved Holland unless he wants to.
Welcome back from the campaign trail, Congressman Hoekstra. And thank you for years of dedicated service to your community and nation.
Proposal 2 got what it deserved
There was one bit of excellent news in Tuesday's election -- the crushing defeat of Proposal 2, which would have enshrined labor union collective bargaining in the state constitution.
Michigan voters of all stripes had the good sense to recognize this proposal for the power grab it was. Nearly 60 percent of those voting said no, meaning Democrats as well as Republicans made a very wise choice.
While this proposal would have affected all unions, it was largely driven by public sector unions that watched their counterparts in Wisconsin have their clout taken away by the state government in recent years.
Michigan's public sector unions wanted to seal their ability to dominate municipal and school budgets without state interference, and the only way to do that was with a constitutional amendment.
Sorry, folks. Collective bargaining in the public sector is a privilege, not a right. Government granted that privilege, and government can take it away. Our local governments need the ability to cut costs, particularly union labor costs, during hard times, but too many unions have refused to cooperate and accept a few concessions.
Our state government must maintain the ability to step in and clip collective bargaining when the process threatens the greater good. Proposal 2 would have taken away that ability, and voters wisely rejected it.
John Snider will be missed on the county board
I was shocked and saddened to learn that veteran Republican Muskegon County Commissioner John Snider lost his re-election bid to Democrat Terry Sabo.
In his post-election comments, Sabo referred to Snider as a "pillar of the community," and he couldn't have been more correct.
Snider, who is completing his 10th year on the county board, brought an awful lot to the table. He was a strong and constant proponent of fiscal responsibility at the county level, yet he was also a bridge builder who went out of his way to work with Democrats anytime he could.
There was a reason Snider was elected vice chairman of the board several times in recent years, even though the majority of commissioners were Democrats. It's because he was deeply respected by the vast majority of his colleagues, regardless of party labels.
Snider is a very good man and a very good county commissioner. You had better do a bang-up job, Mr. Sabo. You have big shoes to fill, indeed.

When the terms of Giants tackle Shawn Andrews' contract were finalized in August, Andrews played the video game "Angry Birds" on his iPad.
He found this ironic, because it was the Eagles that released the former Pro Bowler after a persistent back injury sidetracked his career.
After starting two consecutive weeks for the Giants, Andrews is entering a week he had been excited about since signing with the Giants: His return to Philadelphia.
However, Andrews' status is now in question after his back flared up Wednesday. He was with the team for the morning walk-through and the start of practice, but he did not participate.
Early indications suggest the injury isn't serious. The Giants are already missing starters David Diehl and Shaun O'Hara on the offensive line.
Keith Bulluck has played against Eagles quarterback Michael Vick since Vick was a redshirt freshman at Virginia Tech.
"He's not different," Bulluck said two days after Vick led the Eagles to a 59-28 victory over the Redskins. "Quarterback is one of those positions where the acclimation process takes longer.
"In Atlanta, he was working his way and trying to develop into a pocket passer. I think last year, the year he spent in Philadelphia ... helped him out as well."
Linebacker Michael Boley was Vick's teammate with the Falcons. He remembers a quiet player who kept to himself. Vick has admitted he did not work as hard in Atlanta as he does in Philadelphia, leaving Boley wondering what Vick might have become if he fully applied himself.
"You're seeing it," Boley said. "If you're the last one in here and don't study things, you're not going to be good. If you get in here, take some time to study film, get those extra workouts and do the little things that can make yourself better at what you do, then you'll succeed."
Asked whether Bulluck or Boley were more accurate in their accounts, Vick said, "Depends what Keith was talking about. If he was talking about me as an individual, yeah, I've never changed as a person. But as a quarterback, I'm totally different."
Vick later talked about how he's changed as a person by trusting the people he should have been trusting before he was incarcerated in connection with dog fighting.
"I don't do what I used to do and try to put myself in positive position all the time," Vick said.
In addition to Andrews, Diehl and O'Hara, FB Madison Hedgecock, WR Steve Smith and DE Osi Umenyiora did not participate in practice.
CB Corey Webster was limited with a toe injury. WR Darius Reynaud returned to practice. ... RB LeSean McCoy and DE Juqua Parker missed practice for the Eagles.

I met her in the summer, after the earth had shifted.
After the freezer burn had lifted from our bitter shells.
A year later she kissed me in the dark.
The soundtrack was a river flowing through Provincial park.
She's my friend. Yeah, she's my friend.
I seem to have a knack for granting wishes
but now my chest is emptier than certain promises.
We would love, if we could,
with hearts as the firewood.
She's my friend. Yeah, she's my friend.

AUBURN HILLS -- Forget about running up and down the court. Being able to simply walk remains a challenge for Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton after he suffered a right ankle sprain Wednesday night at Memphis.
Because of that, the Pistons list Hamilton as questionable for the home opener Friday night against Oklahoma City.
Although Hamilton has had a series of injuries in recent years, ankle sprains haven't been among them.
"That's the crazy part about it," Hamilton said. "I think I've had three (ankle sprains) my whole life. So I know when I do it, twist my ankle, I know it's pretty bad."
After the game, Detroit's medical officials opted to keep Hamilton's right ankle taped up in hopes of compressing the swelling.
"I've been locked up all night since it happened," Hamilton said. "We haven't really taken the tape off to get a good look at it. We'll see."
If Hamilton can't play, the most likely replacement in the starting lineup would be Ben Gordon, who scored 22 points in his Pistons debut Wednesday.
However, Detroit \coach John Kuester would not commit to naming a player to replace Hamilton in the starting lineup.
"We're going to discuss that today," Kuester said. "We have a number of options. Either staying with Ben (Gordon) coming off the bench or starting him. But I tell you this, either way, we consider Ben a starter anyway."

This is a discussion on RE: RFC 2786 implementation in 5.2.1 version - SNMP ; > In 5.2.1 source code (usmDHUserKeyTable/usmDHUserKeyTable_data_?et.c), I noticed that DH_generate_key() is called for both get & set request on usmDHUserKeyTable.

In 5.2.1 source code
(usmDHUserKeyTable/usmDHUserKeyTable_data_?et.c), I noticed that
DH_generate_key() is called for both get & set request on
Is it implies that Agent (5.2.1) supports RFC 2786 (summary
given bellow) but not the snmpusm command line tool (which sends only
GET and SET not SET, GET, SET)?
If I change apps/snmpusm.c to do set on usmUserTable, followed
by get for published keys then final set as described in REC2786, will
that be the proper key change with 5.2.1 agent?

Subject: RE: Sharing modifications done in Net-SNMP source
Wes Hardaker,
From RFC2786 section 2.1, I understood that EMS should send SET
request on usmUserTable / usmDHUserKeyTable to trigger the key change,
upon receiving the request Agent will generate the random number and
drive DH public key which is published in associated MIB.
Manager should read the published keys through GET request.
Manager should generates random number and derive DH public key.
Then Manger should send SET request with both (agents & managers -
concatenated) DH public key.
As per the above flow, the request needs to be transmitted for
key change is SET, GET followed by SET. But when I trace the agent logs
in 5.2.1 for snmpusm key change command, I noticed that only GET & SET
request is send form Manger to Agent. Please find attached get & set
request details. The fist SET request is missing / I am not able to
trace this. Please let me know if I missed something.
I hope the first SET request for Key change needs to be taken
care in 5.2.1.

Um... Version 5.2 already supports that RFC.
BTW, also: many people submit patches back because it's more likely
that they'll stay maintained in the code base and you won't have to
port them from release to release (IE, in the end it's cheaper).

While attending Archbishop Hannan High School back in the mid-late 90's I remember my principal, John Serio, saying when you get older people are going to ask you what school you attended and they will not mean college. They will be referring to high school.
He then added how most people prefer to wear their high school senior rings rather than their college rings, or better yet some people only purchase their high school rings. He said our high school days would be the best days of our lives and we would make memories and friends that would last a lifetime.
For the most part, what Serio said was true. However, I was not a highly-touted football prospect either, so I do not know if what he said will be the same for Cypress Ridge High School products Russell Shepard, Kevin Johnson, and Hasan Lipscomb.
The three of them caused terror for opponents on the gridiron. It was like a three-headed monster while they were on offense. Lipscomb and Shepard finished their high school careers with a bang while Johnson, the underclassman, was right there with them.
Lipscomb ended the season with 1.046 yards on 140 carries (7.4 yards per carry) and 15 touchdowns. Shepard, the nation's No.1 prospect, finished with an amazing 3,796 yards of total offense including 47 touchdowns. Of Shepard's passing yards, 697 went to Johnson as he hauled in 45 passes for a 15.47 yards per catch average.
Once the season concluded, Shepard elected to attend LSU and Lipscomb chose Minnesota while Johnson soaked up their experiences like a spunge. Johnson watched his buddy Shepard exit the hallways of Cypress Ridge early as he enrolled at LSU in January leaving him just a few final months with Lipscomb.
While Shepard and Lipscomb have focused their eyes on college, Johnson claimed they each have him included in their vision.
"They both talk to me about what their schools (Minnesota and LSU) have to offer," Johnson explained. "I'm going to take something from the each of them. I learned a lot from watching them go through the (recruiting) process.
"I think it would be exciting to get to play with one of them again and I'm going to take into consideration what they said to me, Johnson added. "But my decision will come down to what I'm looking for in a school."
As of today Johnson holds offers from Minnesota, Baylor, Rice, and SMU, with Oklahoma State likely being the fifth university to offer. And LSU is probably not far behind.
According to Johnson, making his college decision will not be a smooth transaction as Lipscomb and Shepard possess a persuasive nature.
"We're all good friends," Johnson admitted. "We always laughing and joking with each other. Russell is off at LSU now, but we talk every now and then and he tells me more about LSU.
"But I see Hasan everyday because he is still here in high school with me," Johnson continued. "And everyday he has something new to say! He always has a joke or something. He is ready for me to commit to Minnesota right now!
With joking to the side, one of the most vital things Johnson learned from Shepard and Lipsomb throughout their entire recruiting process was the importance of academics.
"Now that football is over it is kind of hard on us because we do not have practice anymore so we have more free time on our hands," Johnson concluded. "And even though we don't have practice we make sure we are studying. We have to keep our grades up."

We are writing to address the conclusions in the letter "Topical Tretinoin, Lung Cancer, and Lung-Related Mortality" by Katz.1 The Veterans Affairs Topical Tretinoin Chemoprevention (VATTC) trial2 was a double-blind study conducted to assess the value of tretinoin, 0.1%, cream in the prevention of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Katz1 concludes that while it is not clear whether tretinoin caused the excess lung-related deaths in VATTC, concern was warranted because a causal link was plausible. Results presented by Weinstock et al2 reveal minor imbalances in morbidity predictors such as age, comorbidities, and smoking status, and the authors conclude that a causal relationship between topical tretinoin therapy and death cannot be inferred. Thus, the supposition by Katz1 is in clear contrast to the conclusions of Weinstock et al.2

6 Groundbreaking Ways Video Games Are Screwing Players
#3. 3D SexVilla 2 -- Everything Is DLC
I'm almost jealous of the makers of 3D SexVilla 2. I have never been so clear in my purpose, in my mission, as someone who calls their work "3D SexVilla 2." It's an inarguable statement of intent, and unfortunately a failure on more horrible levels than Dante getting lost in an Escher painting.
M.C. Escher
And features even more horny guys.
In theory, a virtual sex simulator is a good idea. Current computer limitations mean that they can't really render emotions, skin imperfections, or smell, but those are only downsides in most amateur Internet porn. It lets users control every move of every body, which sounds good, but anyone prepared to learn an entire computer animation modeling system to generate porn could probably save time by convincing real people. Hell, they'd probably be faster inventing lifelike androids. When someone's hard or wet, even a video buffering symbol is too much frustration. Few people want to spend days manipulating animation stick-and-ball models when they can manipulate their stick and balls directly.
How pick-up artists see women.
Where it breaks down is when you try to do anything. Every single prop, control, and slide bar in the game costs real money. You even have to pay to adjust the breast size, aka "the first thing anyone would do," and when your explicit sex game offers less free sexy character customization than most fighting games, you're in trouble.
Namco Bandai
Not a porn game. Apparently.
Unlocking every option would add up to over $750. I don't care what you're into, you'll find real people prepared to do it for, with, or to you for that much money. I understand where Thrixxx is going with this -- anyone at home buying upgrades for their 3D SexVilla is a captive market imprisoned by psychological bars stronger than any steel -- but the Internet is already infinite pornography for free. And even when you create your own disturbing mating-mannequin masterpiece, the user agreement indicates that all resulting custom-made hardcore porn still belongs to Thrixxx, which is the most I've ever seen an End User License Agreement screw anything.
#2. EVE Online -- Manual Autopilot
EVE Online is the most exciting and vibrant video game universe ever created, as long as you only ever read about it from the outside once a year. (Why not read about the $17,000 assassination, exploding a thousand dollars for free, or the Ultimate Video Game Dick Move right now?) Actually playing it is like being one of the attackers in the Battle of Helm's Deep: Something awesome is happening, but most of your life has been boring drudgery and now you're going to be killed by characters who've been here longer.
Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images
Level 90 takes a heavy toll.
EVE Online tries to replace the player's real life, mainly by preventing him from having one to compare it against. In EVE, time is literally money: You buy PLEX for playing time, and these PLEX can be used as currency. Every player shares the same gigantic persistent universe, which sounds impressive but means that the main gameplay mechanic is "commuting." Ships hopscotch across the universe from stargate to stargate. This can take hours, which is why you have an autopilot, and that autopilot might as well be a self-destruct system. It dumps your ship out of warp 15 km from the next gate, tootling along at sublight in places where only autopiloted craft ever go, in a universe where every other player is a piranha with a warp drive. You might as well set your ship to transmit "FREE KILL HERE!" and replace the autopilot with a starmoth attracted by enemy laser fire.
The thing is, your ship can totally warp directly to the next gate. There's no imaginary physics or warp bubble stopping it. Your autopilot just refuses to do it. So the fastest way to get from place to place is to run the autopilot, turn it off when you're warping, manually arrive at the next gate, then manually turn the autopilot back on to launch the next jump. When you're remaining at your keyboard to save your autopilot the bother of doing its job, you don't know what "autopilot" means. You also don't know what "games" and "fun" mean, because you're staring at a flying stars screensaver for most of your play time. It's an antimeditation system: forcing you to contemplate endless nothingness but stay focused only on the most trivial material aspects of our world.
Making the multimillion-dollar EVE Online game functionally identical to a Windows 3.1 screensaver.
It's an efficient way to dilute half an hour of gameplay over an entire day, which is EVE's entire design strategy. The gate frequency is perfectly timed to disrupt your thought processes at regular intervals, preventing you from escaping or thinking of anything else happier or better. It's Chinese water torture applied to game design.
Thousands of players worked out how to get the autopilot to do its actual job and were banned from the game. Bots and scripts are normally evil, but when the game is specifically designed to trap you in a prison of minimalist data entry where you press three keys a minute, that's not cheating, that's psychological self-defense. Altering the autopilot code was less a hack than a basic intelligence test.
#1. Gun Bros -- Consumer Behavioral Optimization
Gun Bros asks the important question "Why hasn't anyone remade Smash TV properly yet?" But while Smash TV satirized capitalism and violent entertainment, Gun Bros combines them. You can spend real money on extra weapons. One of them costs 500 real dollars. The "Kraken" fires a barrage of enemy-obliterating homing missiles, and that's just while it's charging up its main gun, a handheld satellite laser cannon. It costs almost as much as the iPad you're playing the game on, and its only function is saving you the bother of actually playing the game by constantly killing everything on the screen.

Note how the gun blocks out even the picture of the player appearing in the game, never mind actually playing.
These weapons are bought with WarBucks, which can be bought with real money. But what's even scarier is that players can also "earn" WarBucks by watching advertisements. You earn money for weapons that save you the work of playing by watching advertisements for things you don't want. That is the exact opposite of the function of every word in that sentence. The problem is that ads operate on your mind even when you hate them. And these iPad games are mainly used as chains and gags for children that won't get Child Services involved. So we're granting advertisers unfettered access to our children's psychology through a brain reprogammer that makes A Clockwork Orange look like a doting babysitter. And they're teaching kids that watching ads counts as work.

I'd say it depends on the target and the range.
February 15, 2009, 10:37 PM
okay lets say for shtf so anything from deer, varmint, or even humans no farther than 200 yrd
February 15, 2009, 10:44 PM
For humans, at ranges of 100 yards or less (which is the most likely range and threat IMO), I want a good fragmenting bullet. Some will give you more range than that, but they are expensive.
For all purpose use, at longer ranges, for hunting large animals (i.e. Deer or bigger), and if your AR15 feeds them properly/reliably, expanding rounds like soft points or partitions might be preferable for the purpose of getting adequate penetration.
For me, I have XM193 as my primary stash ammo...
February 15, 2009, 11:07 PM
Fragmenting is generally considered better for defensive/anti-personnel use.
February 15, 2009, 11:13 PM
Soft Points in the .223 especially in the 3200 fps (55 grain) range are meat eaters. I have pics of a recovered 55 grain Black Hills Soft Point, and the deer it absolutely devastated.
For general stopping power, I want a soft point .223 bullet. 100%
You will not have to rely on fragmentation. I will dump energy no doubt, and will leave a mess.
February 15, 2009, 11:19 PM
1600fps seems to be the fragmentation thersh hold for M193 bullets when hitting soft materal.
At 1600fps the M193 bullet breaks in two along the crimp cannel.
And from there the faster they go the more bits they break up into.
February 15, 2009, 11:42 PM
Just to be clear, the frag thresholds for M193 are in the 2500-2700fps range...
February 15, 2009, 11:45 PM
You can get better fragmenting ammo -- Mk 262, the Hornady TAP loads, etc. M193 is good for range work, but I'd pick fancier stuff for company . . .
February 16, 2009, 12:07 AM
fragmentation, that is what it is designed to do best.
February 16, 2009, 04:59 AM
worth while read on the subject
February 16, 2009, 09:00 AM
Unless you are an expert shot (and who isn't?) the .223 is not a deer caliber. With perfect double lung shots or spine shots it does fine, but if you want to ensure humane kills move up to at least a .243 and preferably something bigger.
February 16, 2009, 09:29 AM
You gotta love how everyone wants to push there opinion on how you should hunt. I guess the .223 is only good for humans and dogs, but don't tell the deer I have killed with it. It might hurt their feelings.
I am starting to think this way. If you think a .223 is not enough gun for deer. Then why don't you go out and buy the person hunting with the .223 a gun you think they should have? Maybe you would sleep better at night knowing that all the deer that fall to .223 are deader with a larger caliber.
February 16, 2009, 03:50 PM
You gotta love how everyone wants to push there opinion on how you should hunt. I guess the .223 is only good for humans and dogs, but don't tell the deer I have killed with it. It might hurt their feelings.
What are you talking about? Who is "everyone"?
February 16, 2009, 07:18 PM
Somebody please take back all the deer I killed with my .223! Mabye I could tell them that they were shot with a .223 and they will come down off the wall and out of the freezer and frollock back to the woods! Yes it kills them dead as dead. Never had one run off. I do not use it for shots over 200 anymore but if I am hunting in lightly wooded areas with 100 yard or so shots it is my go to gun since I was 10 years old. For sitting on open fields I will grab my .308 but that .223 is a fine deer killer! Back to the post...... I would choose a Nosler Ballistic tip 55gr. For the reason that 100 yards it will turn every organ into stew if you hit in the chest cavity. Especially if you hit bone. The bone will act as secondarys shedding anything in its path. There have been many o deer I have just cut open and taken a water hose to it to wash away what used to be lungs heart spleen liver and sometimes even guts. And if you get bord with zombies you can turn a crow into feather dust
February 16, 2009, 10:03 PM
I didn't say it wouldn't kill them, I said it's not a deer caliber for anyone who isn't an expert shot. I've heard the stories about how it rolls 'em up, guts 'em, skins 'em, and puts 'em in the freezer for you too. but I've also spoken with hunters who've spent hours tracking an animal hit marginally in the liver or the shoulder who will never use such a light caliber again. A particular game warden talks about a cull hunt (90+ deer shot) that made him believe the .243 isn't big enough either. One story in particular was a hunter who killed a doe and found two .22 caliber slugs, perfectly mushroomed, in her guts.
.22's work with perfect hits, but give me bullets in the 130-150 grain range that will get the job done even when conditions aren't perfect or I don't do my part.
February 16, 2009, 10:21 PM
If you want the best ammo on the market, have a 1:7 twist barrel, and can shoot true 5.56 loads from your AR then you would have to find Hornady TAP II (its TAP in the red box) LE in 75gr.
You can't get any better but your going to pay for it and it is very hard to find as Hornady is serious about not not allowing any of its distributors to sell it to any non-LE/mil unfortunately.
February 16, 2009, 10:46 PM
Hornadys TAP line is pretty decent. Their 62gr. Barrier is probably the most suitable for deer. Here it is compared to their 55gr "Urban" and 40gr "Urban".
Bare Gelatin: 62 gr TAP 2758 fps 16" bbl. 1/9" Twist (side)
Total Pen. 15.75", Max. Cav. 6"
Depth to Max. Cav. 5", Entry .5"
Retained weight: 37 gr.
Bare Gelatin: 55 gr TAP 2910 fps 16" bbl. 1/9" Twist (side)
Total Pen. 8.75", Max. Cav. 4.25"
Depth to Max. Cav. 5", Entry .5"
Retained weight: 17 gr.
Bare Gelatin: 40 gr TAP 3350 fps 16" bbl. 1/9" Twist (side)
Total Pen. 7", Max. Cav. 5"
Depth to Max. Cav. 4.5", Entry 0"
Retained weight: 0 gr
February 16, 2009, 11:07 PM
Personally I prefer a 55-62 gr. softpoint for use in multiple situations, and that's what I keep stored. I also have 52 gr. HP's and other loads around, but the 55-62 SP is what I would stock up on for just about anything.

We all know the top leading men in the NBA—Kobe, Lebron, KG, D-Wade, Timmy, Shaq, Dwight, Melo, Dirk, CP3, Nash and more.
These stars get most of the attention and they deserve it.
But these great players don't do it all by themselves.
So, like at the Oscars where they acknowledge the best supporting actors, I decided to pay my respects to my favorite supporting role players.
These guys will probably never make the Hall of Fame and it is unlikely they will make any All-Star games but the coaches, players, GM's and hard core fans all know how valuable these players are.
The following list includes a wide range of players. Some of them are young and still developing, a few are in their prime and some are at the end of their decorated NBA career.
Take a look at my list of the NBA's Top 10 Best Supporting Players.

The field is set for one of the top junior golf events in the country, the 12th annual Winn Grips Heather Farr Classic hosted by Longbow Golf Club.
Staged by the American Junior Golf Association, the tournament has a storied history.
Past champions include 2010 Waste Management Phoenix Open winner, Hunter Mahan (1999), as well as 2008 U.S. Womens Open victor Paula Creamer (2004) and three-time NCAA Player of the Year at Duke University, Amanda Blumenherst (2002).
This year's 144-player field boasts 15 Rolex Junior All-Americans and 25 juniors who have signed national letters of intent to play college golf.
There are 24 players from Arizona.
Here's a closer look at four of them:
Age: 16
Class: Junior
High school: Xavier College Prep
Hometown: Mesa
How she got started: "When I was ten years old, my dad took me back to Indiana to visit some family. He asked me if would like to play a round of golf. I said, Sure, why not. I picked up a club and started swinging away. I got my first par that day. It motivated me that I found something I could beat my dad at... as a daughter I want to make him proud."
My strength is: "Length off the tee as well as putting."
My weakness is: "Longer irons, but I do want to get better from 100 yards in."
Accomplishments: "I've won two AJGA events, the first when I was 13." Most recently, Sanchez claimed the Ping Phoenix Junior at Moon Valley Country Club last summer. Other wins: U.S. Kids Golf Teen World Championship; RE/Max Junior World Long Drive Championship; International Golf Tour's Tournament of Champions Girls 14-and-under division.
College preference: "I would love to play near the west coast, but I'm being open-minded. I'm also looking at Wake Forest, North Carolina, Vanderbilt... Texas A&M and SMU. I want to make sure the college has very good academics."
Thoughts on this week's tournament: "I think it's fabulous. It has a lot of history. It's very competitive."
Goals this week: "My mental side. It's really up to my willingness to focus on each shot. I would love to have a top 5, considering the tough competition."
Age: 16
Class: Sophomore
High school: McClintock
Hometown: Tempe
Accomplishments: Won the 2008 Winn Grips Heather Farr Classic; finished T-5 last year.
Noteworthy: Member of the school's volleyball team.
How he got started: Visited Hawaii with his family growing up and on one visit, "I saw one of my grandpa's old sets, and I picked up a club and started swinging it," says Kaahanui. After showing an interest in the game, his grandfather started taking him to a local course in Hawaii and it stuck.
Goals for this year's event: "Try to break the scoring record. I almost beat it two years ago."
If he misses a day or two of practice: He says that's OK. "That's the time to visualize what I need to do." He says for this event, he'll spend some time with his eyes closed thinking about the course and the shots that he needs to execute.
My strength is: "Short game."
My weakness is: "It's not really my weakness but I do need to work on my long game, (in terms of) keeping it in play. Get the ball in the fairway and give myself a chance at the green."
Age: 15 (turns 16 on Friday)
Class: Sophomore
Hometown: Chandler
High school: Hamilton. Kim played as freshman and sophomore on high school golf team, helping the Huskies to consecutive runnerup finishes to Xavier at state tournament.
Accomplishments: Won the 2009 AJGA Lessing's Classic on Long Island in New York. "It was good because I was in a six-hole playoff." She made par on the sixth hole to win, as her opponent had a bogey. She says she was going through some swing changes and "winning there gave me confidence in my swing." Kim was an honorable mention on the Rolex Junior All-American team.
About this year's event: "I'm already getting nervous," she said on Monday. Her twin sister Anna is also competing in this year's tournament.
My strength is: "Accuracy."
My weakness is: "Short game."
Age: 15
Class: Sophomore
High School: Home-schooled
Hometown: Nogales
How he got started: "My dad was a very good golfer in his 20s and he introduced me to the game when I was 3. Since then I loved it. He realized I was very good and he put me in big events. I started to perform."
My stength is: "Iron game."
My weakness is: "The driver. I'm hitting it fine, but I would expect more (accuracy) right now. I do hit it pretty far for my age."
Thoughts on the tournament: "This is my third year playing the Heather Farr. I can't wait to play that event. It's kind of like a home game. It's not a far drive, about 2 � hours and it's a desert course. I love that golf course. It always runs fast. This year's it's a very strong field. Twenty or 30... could easily win this event."

Yeah, I would agree with the general recommendations of reducing the volume but keeping up the intensity.
It looks like you're headed in the right direction. Keeping in the lower rep ranges will ensure that you're not stimulating muscle growth to a significant degree (assuming that you don't want to stimulate growth if you're maintaining).
Looks like what you're doing will work well for maintenance.

TRENTON — A panel convened to suggest reforms to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will examine whether the bi-state agency should dissolve some of its shared operations and assets.
According to a preliminary report released today by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, officials could recommend the neighboring states break up some of the shared responsibilities to "enhance operating efficiencies and improve accountability."
The panel, which was created in May, nearly eight months after local access lanes to the George Washington Bridge were abruptly closed in scandal that engulfed Christie's administration, issued a 60-day report outlining the scope of its six-month review of the agency.
"Those events demonstrate that today's Port Authority lacks an effective culture of compliance and accountability," the report reads. "The ultimate goal of any Port Authority reform agenda is to optimize the quality of the Port Authority's services and facilities for the benefit of the region."
The agency's current policies on access to public records, financial disclosures and other governing documents will also come under the microscope. They will be examined to reconcile them with existing state rules.
In addition, the panel could recommend the agency shake up its leadership structure.
"In its current form, … (it) often encourages the split of the organization into competing regional interests and the creation of fractured lines of authority within the agency," the report reads.
Earlier this year, documents revealed lanes were ordered closed by a Christie-backed Port Authority official, David Wildstein. The lanes were shut down after the governor's former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, issued the infamous "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" authorization to Widlstein.
Both governors agreed in a joint statement released when the panel was convened that "recent events relating to the George Washington Bridge have raised questions regarding management and governance that must be analyzed and addressed."
The panel will includes two members of the agency's Board of Commissioners, including Vice Chairman Scott Rechler of New York, a Cuomo appointee, and Richard Bagger, a Christie pick. John Degnan, Christie's pick to replace former Port Authority Chairman David Samson, was also named to serve on the panel.
Also included is each governor's counsel: Christopher Porrino for Christie; and Mylan Denerstein for Cuomo.
