Since the Hokies are in their 'bye' (they don't play this week until Saturday), it is the perfect time to give you some updates on the four members of the Virginia Tech Class of 2013.
For full information on the class, check out our CLASS OF 2013 RECRUITING PAGE.
Here are some items of note…
- Donte Clark has been MIA from the Hargrave recaps for the last month. Not sure if he's hurt or what. There are two kids going to louisville and one to wake on the team. Donte was averaging around 15 ppg early in the season, with a high of 22 points. Hargrave Postgrad is 23-5 on the season.
- Ben Emelogu – you want his stats? TechHoops.com has his stats! We have his point total from 20 of his 26 games. He's averaging 13.6 ppg, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game for the 24-2 South Grand Prairie squad. He's been their leading scorer 8 times, with a high of 26 points on the season. Ben's made 38 3-pointers.
- Maurice Kirby – you want ALL of his stats? TechHoops.com has all of his stats! I have his points, rebounds, blocks, and assists from 16 of his games. Basha is really struggling, though, with a record of 7-12. Kirby got off to a hot start but has just 8 points on 4/23 shooting in his last two games. But he is averaging 15.9 ppg, 10.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game (he leads the team in every category). Kirby had 22 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 4 assists in a game back in November. He's had 20+ points and 17+ rebounds three times this season, and had 12/16 in another game.
- Trevor Thompson – couldn't find stats for him and his St. John's NW Military Academy Postgrad team. I'll keep looking, and if I find anything, you know I'll let you know.

11.1 Million Unauthorized Immigrants Were Living in the U.S. in 2011
The number was unchanged from the previous two years and a continuation of the sharp decline in this population since its peak in 2007.
U.S. Birth Rate Falls to a Record Low; Decline Is Greatest Among Immigrants
Even with the decline, foreign-born women, who make up 17% of all women of childbearing age in the United States, continue to account for a disproportionate share of U.S. births, 23% in 2010.
Hispanic Electorate Likely To Double By 2030
The record number of Latinos who voted this year are the leading edge of an ascendant ethnic voting bloc that is likely to double in size within a generation.
Latino Voters Support Obama by 3-1 Ratio, But Are Less Certain than Others about Voting
Latino registered voters prefer President Obama over Republican challenger Mitt Romney by 69% to 21%; express growing satisfaction with the direction of the nation and the state of their personal finances; but are somewhat less certain than non-Hispanics that they will vote in this election.
Up to 1.7M Youths May Benefit From New Deportation Rules

Aston Villa 1 Stoke City 0
Published 21/12/2009
Aston Villa showed on Saturday that they have the potential to make a serious push as Premier League title contenders.
Villa's victory proved they can grind out results when not at their best. If that is a trait of champions, so is the ability to beat your closest rivals. Having vanquished Chelsea and Manchester United, Villa visit Arsenal and have the opportunity to complete a double over Liverpool before the new year. Two more wins, maintaining their 100 per cent record in December, and no amount of false modesty from the manager will disguise their potential.
O'Neill accepted that Villa would "go into those games with confidence" but laughed off an inquiry about finishing in the first four, or even top. "The four teams who have been up there, apart from when Everton broke in, have done it because they're the best in the country," he said. "Their Champions League records would suggest they're also among the best in Europe. Tottenham and Manchester City are much stronger than they were, too."
Yet there is reason to believe Villa are better equipped to maintain a challenge. The early exit from Europe means no energy-sapping midweek hauls to Moscow. And even if the Carling Cup semi-finalists head on an FA Cup run, O'Neill has the numbers and options he did not have a year ago. When, for instance, Emile Heskey suffered a groin injury, Villa were able to send on a £7m striker, John Carew, who responded by heading the goal, from Ashley Young's cross, although Stoke justifiably argued that a similar effort of their own, by Mamady Sidibe, was unfairly disallowed.
In midfield, O'Neill's conversion of James Milner to a central role makes ideal use of his dynamism. The most obvious improvement in the balance of the line-up, however, is in defence. Richard Dunne continues to mock Manchester City's decision to spend £22m to replace him with Joleon Lescott, while Stephen Warnock's poise contrasts sharply with the sub-standard quality of full-backs at his first club, Liverpool.
Aston Villa (4-4-2): Friedel; L Young, Cuellar, Dunne, Warnock; A Young, Petrov, Milner, Downing (Sidwell, 81); Heskey (Carew, 23), Agbonlahor. Substitutes not used: Guzan (gk), Delph, Reo-Coker, Beye, J Collins.
Stoke City (4-4-2): Sorensen; Wilkinson, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, D Collins; Whitehead, Diao (Fuller, 76), Whelan (Delap, 84), Etherington; Sidibe (Beattie, 84), Tuncay. Substitutes not used: Simonsen (gk), Cort, Lawrence, Pugh.
Referee: L Probert (Gloucestershire).
Booked: Stoke: Wilkinson.
Man of the match: Milner.

My name is Anastacia, and I am the scrap yarn/one skein queen. I buy my yarn mainly at yard sales/thrift stores, so I got used to making do with what I could find. So most of my patterns are designed to use up the odd skeins or leftovers in your life, and are geared towards beginner crocheters or those who just want a fast, easy, but still pretty item.
I'm a 30 something adult living in MA. I'm married, have a wonderful cat named Wedgie, & I work full time. I also teach knitting & crocheting at my local Michael's & squeeze in designing as many hours as I can a week.
I do love to hear from everyone, but please remember that I am busy, just like you, & will reply as soon as I can.
All of my patterns use USA terms & abbreviations.
I try to layout my patterns as simply as possible to save money for people printing at home. My patterns are as short as possible, usually with only one photo on the first page, which you can easily skip printing to save ink.
This is a simple & fun beginner friendly scarf, that works for just about any yarn type.
Scarf is written for two weights of yarn, directions are written separately for DK/sport/worsted weight yarn, followed by fingering weight yarn. Both versions are also charted (charts are on separate pages, so you can easily print just the charts, or skip printing the charts to save yourself ink if you don't use them).
Materials: 1 ball (50 grams) of fingering, DK or sport weight yarn OR 2 balls (100 grams) of worsted weight yarn, & a crochet hook that gives you a nice, drapey fabric (I used an H hook; I crochet loosely & most crocheters need to go up 1-2 crochet hooks to match gauge)
Measurements: Will vary with gauge & materials used. My finished scarf was 6" wide (at widest point) by 66" long after blocking using 1 ball (50 grams) Knit Picks Felici Sport weight yarn
Thank you to my wonderful testers, CollieGrl64, pixie56, honeystalks, Nancy-P, jam52, merripurdy, DyeSpinKnit, & soxvixen, & to June Gilbank (http://www.planetjune.com) for her tech editing/charting skills. Extra thanks to pixie56 for coming up with the name!
Feel free to make as many of these as you like for local craft fairs/auctions/raffles/bazaars, but please do not sell finished items online. If making for charity, please let me know the name of the charity & include my contact info with the item (http://anastaciaknits.net). If you have any questions or comments or just want to join like-minded souls, please join my Ravelry group at http://www.ravelry.com/groups/anastacia-knits-designs. Thanks!

May 15, 1931 - May 17, 2013
Kenneth Paul Venturi passed away peacefully in Rancho Mirage, California on May 17, 2013 after his 82nd birthday. Born at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco to Fred and Ethyl Venturi, Ken became one of golf's most beloved legends, both on and off the course. His legacy is punctuated by a combination of extraordinary amateur and professional golfing career accomplishments, serving as the longest-running analyst in sports broadcasting history, his commitment to a multitude of charitable causes both domestically and abroad, and his unending passion for giving back to the game of golf, as his mentor, Byron Nelson, always encouraged him to do. In the final chapter of his life, Ken was recognized by his many friends and peers by being inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in the Lifetime Achievement category, which meant the world to him and provided closure to one of golf's true ambassadors. Ken is survived by his wife Kathleen of 10 years, his two sons, Matthew and Timothy, and four grandchildren, Peter Venturi (Victoria), Andrew Venturi, Sara Venturi and Gianna Venturi. Ken was preceded in death by his late wife, Beau Venturi, of 27 years.
Funeral services will be held at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church on Thursday, May 23rd at 11:00 a.m., located at 47535 Highway 74, Palm Desert, CA 92260; Phone (760) 346-2697. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to Loma Linda Children's Hospital, 11234 Anderson Street, Loma Linda, CA 92354; Phone (800) 825-KIDS.

Support is being broken again on the down side. ACTC is in jeopardy of losing its refinancing if the shares trade below .03. When we learned about the toxic financing we should have sold. Very hard to keep watching our investment being negatively impacted by a mistake done by a dead guy. It's amazing how in this country the courts penalize the innocent shareholders for the mistakes of a company CEO. We get screwed not just once but twice.
Bought at 19 cents and held as I watch it go down and here we are at 6 cents. I don't think I'll ever have a worse investment than this. If this is not a scam than what is.
Don't think that this is a true indicator of future direction for the Company as I believe it is not. In support of my belief one only needs to monitor the irratic behavior of the bid/ask volumes associated with daily ACTC trading. To illustrate, several times during today's trading I noted over 1 million shares bid at a price of $0.06 vs. an ask of $0.065 on 445,000 shares offered. Two minutes later, with two thousand shares actually traded, the bid volume droped to 10,000 shares and the offered shares dropped to 44,000 setting the stage for the next trade to be on a down tick. This is what goes on every day with ACTC by the day trading manipulators and crazies totally against any type of stem cell science succeeding. I agree with larsondaviss post that states once the pending litigation suits are resolved, the stock will pop a bit and the reverse split will take place. This event followed by some positive success news with the program will put us on our way to higher valuations for the Company in the market place.
If they can get the last suits settled it would be huge. Right now it's a big raincloud following us around. And new lows on heavy volume sucks! It looks like one more toilet flush of the longs before the suit is over and done with.
One of the most painful long term holdings ever.

A real rookie rivalry
Jennings, Evans in race for award
A compelling race for the rookie of the year award is well under way, with the National Basketball Association season one-third complete.
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings has plenty of backers following his 55-point game in mid-November that turned heads around the league.
But Sacramento Kings point guard Tyreke Evans is making his case with consistent play, including a dramatic game-winning layup against the Bucks a week ago. He followed that performance by leading the Kings in an amazing comeback from a 35-point, third-quarter deficit to a victory over the Chicago Bulls.
It's a chase that could last all season and provide plenty of entertainment.
Jennings has struggled with his shot recently, converting just 34.6% over his last 16 games. And he will try to rebound at home Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs after scoring a season-low seven points in the Bucks' 109-97 loss to Washington on Wednesday.
"I think a lot of people expect me to score a lot now," Jennings said, "but that's not really my game. Actually, I'm a better passer than I am a scorer, and a lot of people don't know that yet.
"I'm not going to be able to put up big numbers every night. I've got to find another way to help the team win."
It's easy to see where people would get that expectation, however, thanks to Jennings' 55-point outburst against Golden State on Nov. 14 at the Bradley Center. He didn't score a point in the first quarter yet came within two points of tying Michael Redd's single-game franchise record.
Evans actually is the top rookie scorer in the league at 20.4 points per game to 19.7 for Jennings.
The 20-year-old Bucks guard is the top rookie in assists with a 6.0 average to 5.0 for Evans, and Evans has the advantage in rebounding (5.1 to 3.9). Both players are good foul shooters, and Jennings is hitting a highly respectable 41.4% from three-point range (55 of 133), while Evans takes fewer three-pointers (15 of 56) and is shooting 26.8%.
The 6-foot-6 Evans is much more physical than the 6-1 Jennings, while the Bucks player has incredible quickness and a great burst in the open floor.
"For the most part, they let him go," Cleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams said of Jennings. "That's a good thing. He can go through his bumps and bruises, and he can learn on the fly.
"He's going to be a terrific player once he gets a little stronger. He's going to get more and more confident the more he plays."
Williams defended against Jennings in a recent game in Cleveland and helped force a miss on a potential game-tying three-pointer by the rookie. Jennings had 18 points and eight assists but struggled to 5-of-21 shooting against the rugged Cavaliers defense.
"Sometimes the guy guarding him is going under on pick-and-rolls, sometimes they're trapping him hard with bigs (big men), sometimes they trap him early," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "Some teams have tried to zone us; some try to send him to his right hand. A lot of things have been tried so far."
At times Jennings has elected not to shoot or look for his offense while attempting to get everyone else involved. And Skiles has said it's a balancing act for Jennings in determining when to take his own shots and when to pass.
"We're trying to convince him, don't predetermine anything," Skiles said. "Don't start the game with, 'Well, I'm going to pass tonight.' The game isn't played at your best when you're playing that way.
"The game will tell you when to shoot and when to pass. Those are issues all young players work through, let alone a young point guard who has the ball all the time."
Sacramento coach Paul Westphal is well aware of the issues rookies face in the NBA and has tried to keep the 20-year-old Evans grounded while the hype continues to build.
"You understand every game is not going to be a masterpiece in this league," Westphal said, "particularly for somebody who has only played 25 of them.
"There are just so many different situations. You might be playing against Chris Paul one night and Deron Williams the next and Chauncey Billups the next. Every one of them you know is going to do something to you, but they all do it a little different way.
"Combine all that with learning what the league is all about. As a point guard you don't want the players on your team feeling it's about you. You have to take care of more than just your own performance, so that's a lot."
The former Memphis guard has taken a leadership role on a young Kings team that has played without injured star Kevin Martin. And Jennings has done the same for a Bucks squad that has played much of the season without the veteran Redd and also had center Andrew Bogut out for a short period.
"He's a very unique player," Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson said when his team played the Bucks recently at the Bradley Center. "I think Scott (Skiles) kind of sees himself in this guy as a point guard and is really bringing him along."
Skiles said the comparisons of his own playing style with Jennings are a bit misleading.
"I was a high-level scorer until I got to the NBA," said Skiles, who starred as a prep player in Indiana and later at Michigan State before playing 10 NBA seasons. "I couldn't go out there and get 55 in a game.
"He has much more of a scoring demeanor than I had. I couldn't; I wasn't good enough. We just want him to continue to learn."

Put together, the UK's overseas territories are fifth in the world league table of bird extinctions, with at least ten species from the territories going to oblivion since 1500AD, partially or wholly because of the impact of non-native mammals, such as rats, feral cats, mice and pigs.
At an evening reception last night at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Sir David Attenborough highlighted the concern surrounding Henderson Island, where non-native rats are threatening several birds with extinction. Sir David Attenborough - an RSPB Vice President - has long been concerned about the unique wildlife of remote islands. Commenting on importance of Henderson Island for birds, he said: "All of these birds are under threat because of Pacific rats, one of the few human legacies. Rats simply cannot resist eating a fluffy day-old petrel chick. Luckily, technical expertise is advancing in leaps and bounds. We now have an opportunity to rid Henderson forever of the rats and ensure the island remains a natural jewel."
Across the territories, 33 species of bird are facing extinction on the UK overseas territories and a new report shows that many of these are under threat because of the continued impact of introduced mammals.
The report, published in the journal Ibis, shows that one third of the species facing extinction could be helped by the removal of non-native mammals from just seven island groups in the Atlantic, Caribbean and the Pacific.
The paper's lead author is Dr Geoff Hilton, of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and formerly of the RSPB. He said: "The territories are jewels of wildlife richness, many with unique species found nowhere else on earth. In addition to this the sheer density of birds on the UK overseas territories are simply staggering. In particular Gough Island and South Georgia contain tens of millions of seabirds, but both of these islands are threatened by non-native mammals."
The RSPB's Dr Richard Cuthbert was a co-author on the paper. He added: "Many countries around the world are removing introduced mammals from their islands, improving the fortunes for native species. The UK has ultimate responsibility for the wildlife occurring on our overseas territories and we are urging the government to take urgent action to protect these unique species."
The paper's authors have identified 11 islands or territories where urgent action to remove non-native mammals could make a difference to the conservation of birds facing extinction or those that are of global conservation concern.
With five species of bird found nowhere else on earth, Henderson Island – part of the Pitcairn group – is one of the richest wildlife islands in the world. However, non-native Pacific rats are threatening the future of several of these species. In particular, the rats are killing and eating 25,000 seabird chicks each year, including those of the Henderson petrel – a seabird with its only known breeding sites confined to the World Heritage site, which shares its name.
The catastrophic impact of invasive mammalian predators on birds of the UK Overseas Territories: a review and synthesis, GEOFF M. HILTON, RICHARD J. CUTHBERT, Ibis, Vol 152 Iss 3, pg 443-458,DOI: 10.1111/j.1474-919X.2010.01031.x, http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123526845/abstract.

Sutton Elbert Griggs was born on June 19 1872 in Chatfield, Texas, to Alan Ralph and Emma Hodge Griggs, the oldest of their children. Alan Ralph Griggs had been freed from slavery just seven years earlier. It is therefore remarkable that he became a highly respected Baptist minister and editor of The Western Star in Texas. He also served as the Texas delegate to the 1905 World's Baptist Congress in London, England. In Paths of Progress (1925) Sutton Griggs writes about his father's pioneer spirit, demonstrated by his establishment of the first colored high school and colored newspaper in Texas (44}. In the dedication to his novel, The Hindered Hand (1905), he pays a tribute to his father as "pre-eminently a man of …

It's been a tough week for Dale Earnhardt Jr. He'll go for his fifth win at Talladega Superspeedway in today's EA Sports 500.
Phil Mason/AP
TALLADEGA, Ala. - He suffered a concussion seven days ago and probably will need a cast on his right foot to protect torn tendons. His car flunked inspection following Friday's qualifying session, so he will start 38th in today's EA Sports 500 atthe Talladega Superspeedway.
And if that wasn't enough, the same car was only 37th fastest in the final practice session Saturday.
Nothing has gone right for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in his quest to win five consecutive races at Talladega. And yet there is no sympathy.
``Give him 20 laps and he'll be at the front,'' said Jimmy Spencer.
Last April Earnhardt Jr. started last at Talladega because his team changed his engine before the race. He tore up the front bumper during a fourth-lap crash involving 16 cars, but a few rolls of duct tape fixed the dents and got him back to Victory Lane.
``I feel real confident we can make it five in a row,'' Earnhardt Jr. said. ``Winning four in a row was the hardest because we were trying to break the record (of three in a row at Talladega by Buddy Baker). Five in a row doesn't bother me as bad. I'm feeling real confident.''
Earnhardt Jr., who's chasing his father's record of 10 career wins at the 2.66-mile D-shaped oval, has dealt with three different rule changes during his steak. Talladega and its sister track at Daytona Beach, Fla., both require special engine and aerodynamic rules to keep the cars from becoming airborne during a crash. The restrictor plate on the engine chokes the flow of air and gas into the engine to kill nearly 30 mph of speed, while taller spoilers create more wind resistance.
NASCAR changed the rules again for today's race (2 p.m., NBC). The sanctioning body enlarged the holes on the restrictor plate to give drivers more throttle response. At the same time, it increased the height of the rear spoiler to create more drag.
``I think the cars might be a little more aero-tight with the bigger blade (rear spoiler) on them,'' he said. ``But it shouldn't be a big issue here. It would be a pretty big issue at Daytona, but they might not even have the same package there.''
No matter how NASCAR tries to make the cars more equal, Earnhardt Jr. seems to have inherited the same instincts for restrictor plate success his father enjoyed. He can turn the turbulent air created by traffic into an advantage. And when he works with teammate Michael Waltrip, they are hard to beat.
The Dale Earnhardt Inc. teammates have won eight of the last 11 races at Talladega and Daytona.
``It's everybody's best interest to keep me out of the front or out of the lead draft,'' Earnhardt Jr. said. ``Over the last two years, I've gotten a lot less likely to help people and a lot less likely to work with people because I feel like my car can go to the front.
``There are one or two that I can count on and work with, but I don't think they know exactly how much help I'm going to give them. I don't think they know how much they can depend on me. So that digs a hole a little bit when it comes to needed some help and needing some friends.''
One friend he can always count on is Waltrip. But to find Waltrip in the race, he will need new friends since Waltrip is starting 18th.
``One of the things you have to do is keep the 8 (Earnhardt Jr.) and 15 (Waltrip) separated,'' said Greg Biffle.
Elliott Sadler will start on the pole. His Ford was clocked at 189.943 mph Friday.
Jamie McMurray is second at 189.395, followed by Jimmie Johnson in third at 189.189, Sterling Marlin in fourth at 189.137, Jeff Gordon in fifth at 189.085, Dale Jarrett in sixth at 189.070, Ken Schrader in seventh at 189.029, Casey Mears in eighth at 188.660 and Bobby Labonte in 10th at 188.641.
Before having his time disqualified after time trials, Earnhardt Jr. had the 11th fastest speed. Now he's 38th, where nothing will be easy during the early portions of the race. Not only will he have to dodge the very real threat of an early-race crash, he will have to work through the pain sustained in a crash at Dover, Del., last week. His car his the second turn wall at Dover and he suffered a concussion and torn tendons in his right foot.
He wasn't cleared to race until Wednesday. He needed approval from NASCAR since it was his second concussion in 17 months. He said the pain in his right foot was the reason he passed out after the crash.
``It was so much pain, you'd rather be unconscious,'' he said. ``Your body just shuts off. I don't understand it, but it was weird.''
NASCAR also thought it was weird how Earnhardt Jr.'s Chevrolet passed inspection before two laps of qualifying, then was 5/16ths of an inch too low afterward. A tricked rear suspension allowed the trunk area to drop below specifications with the apparent hope of taking the tall rear spoiler out of the wind - thus reducing resistance.
With all the distractions, pain and problems, Earnhardt Jr. doesn't seem too concerned.
``Five in a row would be great, but it'll be a long time before somebody wins four in a row,'' he said. ``So I feel pretty good about my record and I don't feel a lot of pressure to keep adding to it.''

The patches, ribbons and medals on jackets and uniforms marked the generations of veterans at Wednesday's ceremony to honor the personal sacrifices of the men and women who have served in the armed forces.
The crowd of more than 200 at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial included a Pearl Harbor survivor, a Korean War veteran and a number of veterans who served in Vietnam and Iraq. The event included a flyover by the Dew Line Squadron and featured speaker David Will, a captain in the U.S. Navy who has served two tours of duty in Afghanistan.
"I never cease to be amazed by what people give for this nation," Will said. "Anyone who's worn the uniform has made significant sacrifices for this country."
They leave the comfort of home and security of family for a difficult place and a difficult job, he said. They train and learn discipline and self-denial.
"Today, I would encourage all veterans to recognize that we never really hang up our uniforms," Will said. "It becomes a part of our fiber that does not go away."
David Borron held his 4-year-old daughter during the ceremony. Borron went on a yearlong deployment to Iraq in 2005 as part of the Texas National Guard. He missed most of the first eight months of his daughter's life and was overseas when his mother died in car accident.
"Just being away from your family is a sacrifice in itself," he said.
In Iraq, Borron grew accustomed to potholes left by roadside bombs, experienced the stress of combat and grieved over a fallen comrade. At the same time, he developed friendships and a lasting pride in the United States, he said.
"It changes you," he said.

""Dr. Higham and his staff are amazing. When we went to our old dentist my kids were usually scared would end up crying by the time we were done. Most times they wouldn't allow the staff to clean all of their teeth and if they had a cavity they'd have to be put to sleep to have it filled. I immediately noticed a difference when we switched to Just 4 kiDDS. The staff was great with my kids and were able to clean their teeth on the first visit. My kids now look forward to every visit and will ask periodically when they can go back. I'm so glad that my old dentist referred us to Just For Kids! My kids are much happier and so am I!""RateADentist.com
""They say it's just for kids but it I think it is really for Moms. Just 4 kiDDS makes it so easy to take my kids to the dentist. The doctor and staff made my kids feel comfortable and relaxed. He gave me the pros and cons about treatment and respected my choices. I appreciated that he took the time to answer all of my questions and that he did it in a way that I could understand and at the same time gave me tips and advice that where actually useful. Thanks Just 4 kiDDS.""RateADentist.com
""Dr. Higham and his staff at Just 4 kiDDS are amazing. My son wouldn't let anyone even look in his mouth until we brought him to Just 4 kiDDS and now he loves going to the dentist. We really appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff is and we love the fun atmosphere they have created for a dental office. My daughter had to go back in for another visit a few days later because she needed a cavity filled. She was counting down the days because she was so excited to go back to the dentist. I wish I had something like this when I was a kid. Thanks to Dr. Higham and his staff my kids actually like going to the dentist.""RateADentist.com

Trial begins Monday in 2011 fatal school bus stop accident
The long-delayed case against a Lake City man accused of recklessly killing a 13-year-old girl in a Route 97 school bus stop crash more than two years ago is heading to trial Monday in Erie County Court.
Tyler Festa, 21, faces a felony charge of homicide by vehicle, misdemeanor counts of involuntary manslaughter, recklessly endangering another person and simple assault, and three summary counts in connection with the Dec. 20, 2011, crash that killed Ashley Clark and injured then-17-year-old Taz Giannelli.
Jurors will be asked to decide whether Festa acted with recklessness or gross negligence when he struck Clark and Giannelli at about 7 a.m. as they crossed Route 97 to board a southbound Fort LeBoeuf School District school bus in front of Popp's Mobile Home Park.
The trial, over which Judge John Trucilla will preside, has been long delayed by a pretrial legal dispute over whether there was enough evidence for the case to be heard by a jury.
To support the charges of homicide by vehicle and involuntary manslaughter, the prosecution must prove Festa grossly deviated from an ordinary standard of care and also consciously disregarded the danger created by reckless driving.
Witnesses have testified it was dark at the time, one of them calling it "pitch" dark.
A nearby video camera recorded the crash and showed that Clark, Giannelli and other students had entered the road between three and six seconds before the school bus came to a stop and activated its red lights and stop sign.
At the time of the crash, the amber lights on the bus were activated.
Erie County Judge Shad Connelly, siding with Festa's lawyer, Peter Sala, initially ruled there was not enough evidence that Festa acted with criminal recklessness or gross negligence when he struck the teens, in part because police determined the teens were jaywalking when they were struck. Festa was also driving well below the speed limit.
That ruling was overturned by a three-judge panel of the state Superior Court in May. It said a jury should decide the case.
The state Supreme Court declined to weigh Festa's challenge to the ruling, which sent the case back to Erie County.
The prosecution claims Festa is criminally liable because he violated a provision of the vehicle code that requires drivers to proceed with caution and be prepared to stop when they see amber lights flashing on a school bus.
Festa told police that he had seen the amber lights from about 200 or fewer yards as he approached in the northbound lane, but the lights or the fact that children might be in the road did not "register" in his mind.
The prosecution has said that evidence, including the speed at which Festa approached the bus, was sufficient to suggest criminal recklessness.
Assistant District Attorney Justin Panighetti, who is prosecuting the case with District Attorney Jack Daneri, has argued that a jury could conclude Festa consciously chose not to prepare to stop because Festa, who was scheduled to work at 7:30 a.m., was afraid of being late for work as an orderly at UPMC Hamot, which is 5 miles from the crash site.
The defense counters Festa's actions did not rise to the level of criminal recklessness because he was driving 10 to 18 mph below the 55 mph speed limit, was not intoxicated or distracted, and because the schoolchildren had crossed into the street before the bus activated its flashing red signal lights.

Ryan Gosling Says He Enjoys Practicing Ballet
Ryan Gosling dominated our hearts and our television screens throughout the course of his career, especially this past year. In the span of only three months, he's played the insanely ripped ladies man who eventually finds love in Crazy, Stupid, Love, the hotshot, disaffected driver in Drive, and now a borderline villainous political press secretary in The Ides of March. That's not to mention his heroic antics on the streets of New York City or his adorable relationship with his dog, George. Yup, whether you like it or not, Ryan Gosling is currently "in your face," so you might as well enjoy the view (and what a nice view it is). But despite the continuous publicity and media coverage, the actor still surprises us when he reveals interesting tidbits from his pre-fame life.
In an interview with the UK publication The Independent, Gosling reveals that being raised by two women (his mother and sister) caused him to permanently think like a girl and also resulted in his fascination with ballet. The Hollywood hunk opened up about the subject, stating, "I just feel like I wouldn't know how to think any other way. My sister was my best friend and my hero growing up. Because I was home-schooled I didn't have a lot of friends and I did ballet, which was always just girls. All of that had an effect on my brain."
You wouldn't know it from looking at him (that six pack is anything but girly), but Gosling still maintains a certain interest in the evocative dance style. He says, "I practice whenever I can," but unfortunately hasn't had any free time lately. And even though he's not that good, his fellow class members (balletmates?) always offer him words of encouragement. He jokes, "A lot of the students are young girls so they're there with their mums but they just kind of watch and tell me to keep it up. They try and be positive but I'm so bad. I don't even know what I like about it but it's like acting, I'm just compelled to do it and I do it to find out why. The not knowing is interesting." How very sensitive and philosophical of him (I guess he really does think like a girl). So he thinks like a woman, but looks like a (hot) man — he really is perfect!

(4-2 last week, 52-11 overall)
Frequently in error, never in doubt
For those of you who want to see picks against the spread, go elsewhere. For the rest of you.........
Florida International @ Arkansas – Time for a tune-up and rest-up for the starters before the final SEC push. The Pigs are probably out of contention for the West crown, but they can make things uncomfortable for the rest of the SEC, especially the Eastern teams. Arkansas by 40.
Mississippi State @ Kentucky – This is the "up" week for the 'Cats. It will interesting to see if the MSU defense can slow down the high-powered Woodson offense. Probably not. Kentucky by 10.
Florida vs. Georgia – Dawg fans should take John Belushi's advice from "Animal House" when getting ready for this game. "Start drinking heavily." Florida by 25.
Mississippi @ Auburn – The Rebels appear to have packed it in for the season. After so many moral victories, the only remaining SEC game they will be competitive in is the Mississippi State game. Auburn 45-14.
South Carolina @ UTK – The Gamecocks have not scored a touchdown in 6 straight quarters. UTK's semi-permeable defense should remedy that situation, but only outright gifts are going to be enough to allow the Chickens to outscore the Big Orange at home.
UTK by 3.
Miami (Ohio) @ Vanderbilt – Vandy SHOULD have little trouble with the Redhawks of Miami (O). Let's just hope the Commodores are not looking ahead to the next three SEC games. This team seems to have gotten itself together after the disaster at Auburn and the disappointment with Georgia. VU defense should dominate this game, and the offense will find enough confidence to muster a lot more than the 201 yards garnered against SC. D. J. Moore may run back a kickoff. Vandy by 24.

100 DIY Shelf Projects
DIY shelf projects, I found myself hazily trying to describe this virtual shelving wonderland (to my cat, but that's another post for another time). "And there were recessed shelves and floating shelves and bi-folding book shelves...(deep breath)...and a Swedish shelf, and exposed shelves..." The projects aren't building exclusive either. Oh no, there are refinishing projects and upcycling projects too. Dare I say this may be a shelf-project panacea? (My cat was not impressed. He rarely is. But that's another post for another time.)

I wrote a column about a year ago outlining my disgust with the way Ichiro Suzuki plays baseball, and moreover, the constant fellatio he receives from baseball writers and fans. With said column continually attracting the ire of Ichiro fans who leave comments on the Internet, I present a list of selected players with higher career adjusted OPS+ (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage, adjusted for ballpark and league averages) than Mr. Suzuki.
This list is comprised of very good baseball players, but hardly the caliber batsman that draw suggestions that they be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, like Ichiro does all the time for some reason.*
Richie Sexson
Lenny Dykstra (who's apparently broke now)
Rusty Greer
Chris Hoiles**
Andy Van Slyke
Cliff Floyd
Chili Davis
Mickey Tettleton
Hideki Matsui
Glenn Davis
*As usual, assuming that the Hall of Fame even matters at this point.
**As an O's fan growing up, I always liked Hoiles, but until I grew up and learned to appreciate the beauty of boiling an athlete's career into a spreadsheet of data I never realized exactly how good he was.

The University of Colorado Denver (Physics)
University of Colorado Denver (in progress) (Master's)
I finished my degree in Physics (with minors in math and German) at University of Colorado Denver in the spring of 2014. Since then I have been teaching physics labs for the same university. For me, math is too abstract without application so I try to give everything you do in math some physical meaning. Once you have some idea of what you are doing with the math it tends to make the application easier. In physics it all hinges around developing a systematic approach to any given problem. With practice the method becomes natural and the problems much less intimidating.

James has been working with my son for 2 lessons and really gave him the breakthrough he needed for Calculus and Physics. My son looks forward to the sessions. Great investment!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
B.S. physics
5 years tutoring experience
I have earned a B.S. in Physics with math minor. And I have 3 years tutoring Calc 1-3 at university level.
I took a class in ordinary differential equations. Currently, I am one class away from earning my bachelor's degree in physics, which is dominated by differential equations.
I took a course in Linear Algebra at UCD, and also pursued matrix and tensor methods in physics while developing my understanding of quantum mechanics and particle physics. I did an independent study with one of my physics professors, in which we worked through most of a graduate level particle physics text. This involved a significant portion of matrix solutions to differential equations)
