Parents and guardians who believe that their children cannot responsibly use the Library's computer and Internet resources are requested to monitor their children's computer and Internet use.
Computer workstations are located in public areas. What patrons view is not private. All patrons should be considerate of other library users and refrain from displaying materials that might reasonably be considered objectionable. In accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 847.011(1)(a) and Chapter 847.0133(1), displaying obscene materials to minors or printing such materials may be a violation of the law and could result in penalties up to and including imprisonment.
Citrus County residents must have a library card to log on to any public access computer. Visitors and non-residents may request a one day computer use only access pass. Computer workstation use is limited to 60-minute sessions. Sign-up is required for each time period. A daily maximum of 3 hours per user is enforced.
The Internet changes daily and information is often not verifiable as accurate. Errors and intentional misinformation sometimes occur, therefore patrons should always assess the validity of any materials found and be aware that Internet sites may not always be available, for a variety of reasons. The Library is not responsible for the accuracy of information on the Internet or the availability of specific Internet sites.

The Library supports the right and responsibility of parents and guardians to direct their own children in the use of the Internet. In compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act, Public Law 106-554, the Library provides filtered Internet access on all Internet capable computers. Filtered Internet access may restrict access to sites that could be deemed inappropriate, objectionable, or harmful to minors, but may also limit access to sites that have legitimate research value. No filtering system is completely effective or efficient. Patrons may request that a specific site be blocked or unblocked by filling out a Request to Re-evaluate Library Materials / Web Sites Form available at each library.
Intentional disruption of the operation of computer systems and networks is a violation of Florida Statute 815.05. Unauthorized access, including so-called "hacking," and other unlawful activities are prohibited.
The library avoids collecting or maintaining records that could compromise the privacy of patrons. Nevertheless, patrons must also exercise caution when using the Internet to avoid unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal identification information.
The Library is not responsible for insuring the privacy of information transferred over the public network. Due to the fundamentally insecure nature of public computer networks, the Library does not recommend the use of its computers for online shopping, ordering merchandise, or electronic banking.

The Rawls Course at Texas Tech University
Lubbock, Texas
June 7-10, 2004
Goldman of the Boys Division and Page of the Girls Division set new competitive course records
LUBBOCK, Texas- Guillermo Chavez and Noah Goldman made their way to the top of the pack in the Boys Division with two-day totals of 4-under-par 140s in the second round at The Rawls Course at Texas Tech University. For the Girls Division, Lauren Espinosa gained a one-stroke lead over her competitors, coming in with a two-day total of 1-under-par 143.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the AJGA Lubbock Junior features 98 players from eight states, including 72 Texas natives. The event, which is being played for the first time, is being held at The Rawls Course at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The final round will begin on Thursday.
Goldman, 17, of Longwood, Fla., set the competitive course record with a second round score of 7-under-par 65. He improved his first round score by 10 strokes and couldnât have been any happier to be the new record-holder at The Rawls Course at Texas Tech University. The four birdies he carded on the front nine, followed by the three birdies he carded on the back nine, helped to send him to the top in round two.
âI did very well today,â he said. âI had a bogey-free round. Iâve played about the same both days, but I didnât have as many bad breaks today. As long as I keep hitting the ball well, Iâll be in good shape.â
Goldman is looking forward to keeping up his lead in the final round.
âMy strategy for tomorrow is to play my own game,â he said. âIâm going to treat it the same as all the others.â
Chavez, 17, of Clovis, N.M., maintained his lead in round two with a score of 1-over-par 73, thanks to the three birdies he fired on the front nine.
âIt was a tough day,â he said. âCompared to yesterday, I had a few bad swings, but I was hitting the ball consistent all the way around. Tomorrow Iâm going to go out and do the best I can, and hopefully itâll be enough to win.â
Following Chavez and Goldman are Colton Williams, 17, of Jacksboro, Texas, Luke Symons, 16, of Lone Tree, Colo., and Mark Jones, 16, of Odessa, Texas, with two-day totals of 3-under-par 141s, followed by Derek Meyer, 16, of Lake Charles, La., with a two-day total of 2-under-par 142, and Zach Fullerton, 17, of Albuquerque, N.M., and Kyle Yonke, 18, of Lubbock, Texas, with 1-under-par 143s.
Lauren Espinosa, 17, of Hickory Creek, Texas, broke through the three-way tie from round one to shoot a two-under-par 70 in round two, giving her the outright lead in the Girls Division. She is hoping to maintain this position through the final round.
âIâm happy with the way I played today,â she said. âI started off really well. My goal for tomorrow is to win and to shoot one better than today. Iâm really excited to play with Taylor Leon tomorrow because we work as teammates, pushing each other to play our best.â
Behind Espinosa are Stefanie Page, 17, of The Woodlands, Texas, with a two-day total of 144 and a new competitive course record of 3-under-par 69, Taylor Leon, 17, of Dallas, Texas, with a two-day total of 145, Melissa Fahey, 17, of League City, Texas, with a two-day total of 147, and Lucy Nunn, 17, of Lawton, Okla., with a two-day total of 152.
Final round tee-times will run from 7-11:48 a.m., Thursday, June 10, at The Rawls Course at Texas Tech University.

WVU not taking Panthers lightly
MORGANTOWN – It could be the classic David vs. Goliath game Saturday when a fledgling, first-year Division I-A school in Georgia State comes to Morgantown to battle a BCS team, West Virginia, in front of 50,000 or more rabid fans.
But make no mistake about Georgia State, they can sling it all over the field.
"They're pretty explosive," said WVU defensive lineman Kyle Rose. "No. 2 (Albert Wilson) has been making some pretty good plays. You can never take a team lightly. Nowadays, anybody can beat anybody."
Georgia State, 0-2, has only played two BCS schools in its short history, and those two games did not turn out well. The Panthers lost 63-7 to Alabama in 2010 and lost 53-13 to Tennessee last season.
Still, the Panthers are coming to Morgantown with more in mind that just getting a fat check for showing up.
"We're very excited to go to Morgantown and play where it is one of the best experiences for a college football game," GSU coach Trent Miles said. "But we approach it as a business trip. We're going to go there and try to compete and win a football game. That's our mindset. We don't get on that plane for any other reason."
Wilson has caught 15 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the Panthers' first two games, making him the leading receiver in the Sun Belt Conference. Right behind him is teammate Robert Davis, who has pulled down 11 catches for 166 yards. Kelton Hill has caught eight passes, including two for touchdowns.
Sophomore Ronnie Bell is the man charged with getting the ball to the receivers, and he has thrown for 461 yards in the first two games, completing 37 of his 73 attempts.
The running game has proven to be a less than effective weapon for Georgia State. Only two players have carried the ball more than 10 times combined in two games. Gerald Howse has carried 14 times for just 29 yards in one game, and Travis Evans carried 10 times for 25 yards in one game. Hill has carried the ball twice in two games, but for only 28 yards.
"We are going to be challenged by an excellent football team," Miles said. "Our kids should be very excited to go and compete against a team from the Big 12. They have a dominating defense, especially up front. They looked really good defensively against Oklahoma."
Kick-off for the game is at noon, and it will be televised on Root Sports.

The annual event takes place in seven different counties throughout the children's hospital service area. The events are held at the local cattle auction barns.
LOC 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, county extension agents, local businesses and residents participated by donating goods and services that were auctioned off to benefit Driscoll.
Students from LOC county clubs and chapters assisted with the auction by parading the items during the auctions for buyers to view.
In 2012, the auction from LOC netted $67,000 of the total $199,000 collected during the seven-county event.
The event was sponsored by Lyssy & Eckels Feeds in George West.
The next roundup is scheduled for Beeville on Friday, June 28, at the Beeville Livestock Commission.

Jones is a guy who doesn't get On Base very much, hits HRs but most (19 of 25) come at home in a hitter's friendly park, and has a reverse split posting a .673 career OPS against lefties compared to .790 vs. righties.
Defensively he has won a Gold Glove but in the same vain of Nate McLouth in that he made great highlight reel plays but advanced numbers don't provide evidence that he really is a good or even average CFer defensively.
The next problem is he is only under control for 2 more seasons and his 25 HRs in 2011 and Gold Glove tend to be overrated and to keep him beyond 2013 would likely mean overpaying him.
Jones fills a lot of needs the Braves need on the surface, a RH hitter with good power and can play CF if Bourn were to leave, but in reality he is everything that the Braves have struggled with the past 2 years in CF, a guy who struggles against lefties while playing a poor defensive CF. He isn't Nate McLouth bad but he is hardly someone I would give up a bunch of quality players/prospects for.
Edit :: As for the Orioles I believe that they will continue to flail as long as Peter Angelos owns the team, he simply gets in the way of what is likely positive moves to the future by singling out players who he simply likes and thus prevents deals from getting done.

Nexus server upgrades and increased download speed capposted by Dark0ne Site NewsOver the past month Axel and I have been secretly working away on a side project to upgrade and improve our file server infrastructure, primarily to make us future proof and increase the storage capacity of all our file servers, but also to ensure we have more than enough bandwidth to go around.
If you're particularly astute, you may have noticed that some servers have gone missing from the server selection window for days or even weeks at a time, and new servers have cropped up (for instance we now have 2 servers in Washington DC, and 2 servers in London). We've been taking down servers for upgrades and putting up new ones to bolster the ranks. And the reason? We're now pushing over 1.8Gbit of traffic a second across our network. Here's some maths:
1.8Gbit a second = 230 MegaBytes a second
230MB x 60 = 13.8 GigaBytes a minute
12.8GB x 60 = 828GB an hour
828GB x 24 = 19.9 TeraBytes a day
19.9TB x 30 = 597TB a month
Impressive stuff.
Our upgrades are now complete and a direct result of these upgrades is that I am going to be doubling the speed cap on downloads for normal members from 500kb/sec to 1MB/sec. This will apply to both "manual" downloads and downloads through the Nexus Mod Manager. Expect this to happen some time next week.
We're very close to announcing the new site code going in to beta (any hour/day now!), which is something I've alluded to recently in the news and my recent State of the Union video blog. The beta and subsequent roll-out of this code is the spring-board for us to roll out a host of additional features and upgrades for the sites, so this is a really exciting time for us.
Axel is currently working on a new download mechanism for manual downloads that will do away with the server selection window and provide you with the best file server for downloading at the time. It should save you a few clicks and a bit of waiting around for your download to start. But more on that later.
Keep your eye out for the beta announcement as we're hoping as many of you as possible will take some time out of your busy schedule to make sure the sites are as bug free as possible before we go live. I want no complaints if we roll out the new code and things you use are broken because you didn't help us beta test!

I cannot wear my everyday clothes at home. Can't do it. It's a ritual of mine, when I get home, jewelry comes off, if my hair's been down all day, I put it up (& vice versa) and I strip off my outfit in favour of loungewear. I love me some loungewear! The home is about comfort. It's where we can take off our armour of power suits and pointy-toed shoes and just relax. Of course, coming into the winter months, I'm choosing my loungewear based on what will keep me warmest.

Virgin and Child, 15th century
Giovanni BelliniItalian, c.1430-1516
Oil on panel
33-3/4 x 26-3/4 in. (85.7 x 67.9 cm)
The Norton Simon Foundation
© The Norton Simon Foundation
Not on view
Perhaps one of several studio versions (minus the landscape and donor) of Bellini's Madonna and Child at Harewood House, Yorkshire, this painting and its main figures appear more geometrical, and as a result more mechanical, than the subtly modeled depictions of the holy pair by Bellini that Dürer admired and emulated on his two trips to Venice in the 1490s and early 1500s. Any trace of Bellini's own hand in this picture would now be virtually impossible to detect, since the painting has suffered greatly in at least two Duveen campaigns to transfer it from panel to canvas in 1926, then to transfer it back to panel in 1938, both times adding extensive inpainting and varnish. When this work was suggested to Duveen in February of 1926 by the art historian Bernard Berenson, the condition was already noted as "worn," with a comment about the child's hair being completely repainted. By December of that year, a telegram from Duveen's Paris office states that the transfer and restoration of the painting were nearly finished, and that "most of the small holes have been filled in." Between 1974 and 1978 the painting was treated again, removing previous restorations, but by that point Mr. Simon's staff considered it to be a "ghost of a painting," and it has rarely been exhibited since.
Despite the painting's current state and questionable authorship, it was most likely the same work that was listed in a 1659 inventory of the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria and Burgundy, Governor-General of the Spanish Netherlands (1614–1662). As one of the greatest collectors of the seventeenth century, Leopold Wilhelm managed to form the basis of what is now the core collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Wrong Punishment
THE SWITZERLAND of Ohio Local Board of Education is getting tough with some of its students.
The board has voted to begin penalizing students who are delinquent with their lunch accounts. The penalties will impact those students who are more than $50 in arrears with their food bill.
Punishment for those owing more than $50 is a harsh one. Impacted students will not be allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities. That would include athletics and the band.
Taking away extracurriculars is taking away part of the educational process from students. Athletics and other activities are extensions of the classroom. Life lessons and values are exacted from extracurricular activities, with sports obviously being the foremost.
To deny students participation is cheating their total academic experience.
A better mode of punishment would be to have those students in question work off their debt. It would keep them participating in worthwhile events while also providing the district with an expanded work force at no cost.
There are all sorts of chores and tasks students could perform that would enable their other employees to tackle other work projects. Students would gleam more out of working off their debt, rather than sitting idly and growing more frustrated.
A myriad of tasks could be given to those students, such as office duty, helping in the cafeteria or help clean the gym or playing fields. It would lend to a much healthier scenario for all those involved.
The Switzerland of Ohio School District has every right to be properly compensated for its lunch costs. District officials just need to tweak its process for making good on those not paying.
Idle time lends itself to potential trouble for youths. We believe in working rather than sitting.

On this day (Oct. 22) in 1962, U.S. President John F. Kennedy appeared on TV to inform the country that he had received reliable information that the Soviets were constructing nuclear missile sites in Cuba capable of launching missiles against the continental United States.
Thus, Americans first learned of the danger posed by what Kennedy characterized as the U.S.S.R.'s "clandestine, reckless and provocative threat to world peace."
Actually, Monday, Oct. 22, was the seventh day of what now is referred to as "The Cuban Missile Crisis," a 13-day, extremely tense period during which Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev came nerve-rackingly close to what well could have been World War III.
This 13-day confrontation (Oct. 16-28) tested, as no other Cold War encounter, the mettle and resolve of both Kennedy and Khrushchev. Who would blink first? As it turned out, after much blustering, the Russian finally blinked and had removed, against the objections of Fidel Castro, what were clearly offensive weapons aimed at U.S. cities.
In accordance with a secretly drafted agreement, the Russian missile systems were removed by Dec. 6, thus ending the most perilous face-off of the Cold War.
Kennedy had first learned for sure of Soviet intentions to construct offensive missile sites in Cuba on Sunday, Oct. 14, 1962, when he was given photographic proof of their construction.
Why did Khrushchev and Castro embark upon what was clearly a risky move in constructing offensive missile sites some 90 miles from Florida? Both communist leaders, ever since the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs fiasco of April 1961, feared another U.S. invasion attempt. Castro wanted the missiles to protect Cuba from U.S. attack. Khrushchev, for his part, wanted to oust the western powers from Berlin and thought maybe he could use the Cuban missile build-up as a bargaining chip: he would remove the missiles if the west powers would leave Berlin.
Unlike his actions during the Bay of Pigs invasion, Kennedy now acted quickly and decisively. He established a special committee, composed of his top advisers, top military commanders, and importantly his brother Robert Kennedy, and instructed it to make recommendations as to the U.S. reaction to this obvious threat.
The military, almost unanimously, demanded a nuclear airstrike to destroy the missile sites. However, after much thought and soul-searching, the president agreed with his brother that such a military strike could well precipitate a nuclear war.
Instead, he instituted a naval blockade of Cuba (although he called it a "quarantine" because a blockade is considered an act of war), which was successful in convincing Khrushchev to back down.
Up to Oct. 14, when Kennedy received the photographic proof of the missile sites' construction, the Russians, especially Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, who openly lied to Kennedy in a face-to-face encounter, but also Khrushchev, repeatedly stated that the Soviets were not supplying Castro with offensive missiles. Finally, however, the Soviet premier, having been caught with his "hand in the cookie jar," saw the folly of supplying missiles to Castro and agreed to their removal.
Kennedy wisely gave Khrushchev a face-saving out by agreeing to the removal of, what were obsolete, U.S. missiles in Turkey and stating that the U.S. was not contemplating an invasion of Cuba.
President Kennedy's adroit, statesman-like handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis was his crowning achievement. He went against the advice of the military and many of his advisers to pursue a peaceful, but as it turned out, eminently successful solution to what could well have ended in a nuclear conflict.

The Town of Lumberland recently conducted an informational meeting to answer questions on the proposed rewrite of its existing zoning law, a process prompted by the earlier update of the town's Comprehensive Plan and performed by the Zoning Rewrite Committee over the past two years.
The committee is chaired by Lewis Powell, who also chairs the town's zoning board. Powell invited questions from the large crowd. Most spoke in support of the town's efforts to protect residents' quality of life by establishing zoning that prohibits high impact industrial activities, and rounds of applause followed several speakers.
But builder Charles Petersheim, who owns property in the town, called the effort an "exercise to ban gas drilling," and questioned the process. Powell invited Helen and David Slottje of the Community Environmental Defense Council (CEDC), who are serving as advisory legal counsel to the town on this matter, to address those concerns.
Helen began by clarifying what towns can and can't do. "The law says that towns are prohibited from regulating the oil and gas industry," she said. "All a locality can do is decide if that particular land use is prohibited in their town or not. A prohibition is not a regulation of the operational process of the industry. That's why a town can seek, based on land use impacts, to prohibit a use.
"So the community has to make its decisions. Does this community want to allow industrial heavy impact activities in residential areas, historic areas, farming areas and river areas, or is there no place, or a limited place in this town for heavy industrial use? Zoning protects everyone's property values by limiting incompatible uses and deciding what uses are harmonious or inharmonious with a community's vision. All of this zoning is based on a community's comprehensive plan."
Helen cited the long comprehensive planning process that took place in Lumberland to identify the goals of the community—to preserve its rural character, to preserve the historic district, to preserve the quiet and tranquility. "That's what this zoning was designed to do, to protect everyone's property values," she said.
Petersheim continued, "I think the theory that this zoning is based on is questionable at best and that it puts the town in a compromising position that it can't afford to take."
David addressed the issue of whether or not the town has the legal authority to take such action. "This was a different issue a year and a half ago," he said. A lot of things have changed, including what boards like this know about this process. The only lawyers who question a town's ability to do this are lawyers who represent gas companies and lawyers who represent people who have leased to gas companies and are glad they did so."
David added that the "highly conservative" NY State Association of Towns affirms this issue. The first of that organization's 2011 Legislative Resolutions calls upon the governor and members of the state legislature to preserve and strengthen home rule and further resolves to strongly oppose any state initiative to weaken or eliminate New York's long-standing tradition of home rule and local government authority.
"This is not a case where we're going against what the law says," said David. "And this new law provides very specifically that anyone aggrieved by this, and who desires to engage in any of these activities that are prohibited by this new law if it gets passed, has a safety valve. They can go for a use variance with the town's zoning board of appeals and the law provides a crystal clear set of steps to do so."
Keith Gilmour, a resident of Glen Spey, applauded the town for its efforts. "So many people here have worked so hard to do something to protect us all. Anyone who educates themselves about drilling knows that it has many terrible impacts on communities. We have to protect ourselves and support the town. The people in this room are concerned about their health, their welfare, their property value and what we love here."
Petersheim asked why some are raising money locally for a potential defense fund. "What is it in this document that is motivating people to create a pledge drive?" he said.
Helen responded, "It's not a town action, and it's not part of the zoning. I have heard there are people coming forward to address threats by the gas industry that they're going to steamroll their way into towns and sue towns that don't allow them to do what they want."
In fact, concerned citizens groups in the towns of Lumberland, Highland and Tusten organized a pledge drive earlier this year. [Learn more at http://www.riverreporteron [2] line.com/news/207/2011/06/29/pledging-protect-way-life.]
In order to meet deadlines pertaining to the New York State Environmental Quality Review process and a grant that expires at the end of September, the town is scheduling a special meeting on August 31 to set a public hearing on the proposed local law on September 21. The zoning rewrite committee has added an additional public informational meeting on September 1 for the public to ask questions of the rewrite committee.
The proposed rewrite can be seen at www.townoflum [3] berland.org/pdf/zba/Draft_TB_PB_and_ZBA2_pics.pdf. Hard copies are available in the town office. Questions should be directed to Powell at 845/856-4679. Written comments should be sent to the town clerk, Virginia Horn at the Lumberland Town Hall, 1054 Proctor Road, Glen Spey, NY 12737 (Attention Zoning Rewrite).

Melos' elbow must be bad he hasn't shot right for extended periods of times.
Plus he needs some STAT googles! Then he will be healthy
@NickKnicks... Spot on. He does remind you of a 90's Knicks type of player. Reminds me our very own John Starks, just a much better temper-cool-calm & collected Starks. But thats also what I loved about Starks; his heart, fight & toughness. Dude was a little crazy ahah but I loved every second of it.
Won't be long before Fields is considered one of the better peremeter defenders in the league. Already considered the Knicks best outside defender.
Melos' elbow must be bad he hasn't shot right for extended periods of times.
Plus he needs some STAT googles! Then he will be healthy
@YungMelo, spot on with the whole cant afford to let Joe Johnson get streaky. Same goes for Crawford. First thing that came to mind watching Crawford come off the bench was damn, cant let this dude get hot. Crawford was the player I enjoyed most during our ugly years. Still wish we had JC on the roster. Fields & Crawford would have made for a special duo @ the SG position.
2 point game... But our defense played with heart. Could come down to the wire but once Melo gets going I like our chances.
Solid half. I facepalmed at that 4-point play at the end though, but it looks like we are playing solid defense with hustle, which is always a good sign. From what I've seen it looks like we're rebounding well, and that Fields dunk was nasty too.
Hopefully we can keep it up come 2nd half, we really cannot let Johnson or Crawford get hot, because if they do, then we are in trouble.
If we can improve a little on defense and Melo starts feeling it then we got this.
You know Melo's feeling outta sorts when he takes off the headband..
He needs to get to the rim and try to draw some fouls.
Who is this lady? I've heart her before but never knew her name. I actually enjoy her as an announcer though; she talks with good insight.
Down 3... This is where we need to quiet the storm and take the momentum back.
Melo is struggling but like the lady said... 7 assists & not beating himself up.
i like Melo's play. His shot aint dropping so now hes becoming the facilitator, drawing the double and passing out to STAT.
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
wow... You all WATCHING Fields play PEREMETER defense?!? And look @ this lady talking about Defense & thinking we have solid pieces in Fields, Jeffries, Douglas etc etc... I'm telling you... I LOVE this woman as an announcer. She's not ESPN corny-cheesy... Shes serious about her career.
So they can oerturn that call but not the one where williams dove out of bounds wich was off him??? And doris burke STFU, that was all fields D, jeffries was lost on that play
Seriously? We're doing what everyone said we would, and that's stopping the ball in the hands of either Melo or STAT.
I haven't seen more than 2 drawn up plays this quarter.
If Melo's having such a crap shooting night, don't give him the ball on the perimeter! Let him move on the baseline and set the guy a pick if you want him to get back in the game! ****!

Through a newly created cooperative effort, GWISD high school welding, math and physics students this fall will take some courses from Beeville Independent School District instructors.
GWISD welding students will take their classes in Beeville; math and physics students will be taught via a video conference with a Beeville teacher.
Superintendents of both districts are keen on the idea.
"There's such a push to save money after the reduction in state funding," says BISD Superintendent Dr. Sue Thomas. "This is one way to do it."
For Ty Sparks, superintendent at GWISD, the program with BISD solves what is becoming a continuing problem: finding teachers with sparse housing in an oil boom.
The George West system will pay BISD a nominal fee, Thomas says, but explains that the amount is far below the cost of hiring a teacher.
Welding classes will be at BISD. "You can't teach welding over a video conference," Thomas notes.
Sparks intends to have his welding instructor accompany the George West students when they attend class.
"We might even team up for contests," he says.
But Thomas is quick to point out that in the exchange program, the students will be able to maintain their own high school identities.
The idea of the teaching exchange stems from a consortium of principles she formed while working in Aransas Pass. The current program is the result of a conversation a few weeks ago between Thomas and Sparks.
Thomas hopes the exchange is just the beginning. "I'd like to work with George West students to take dual credit hours," Thomas says, who also wants to see the program expanded to include additional districts such as Sinton.
She says that a few years ago, she made similar offers to school districts in Pettus and Skidmore, but they showed no interest.
To illustrate another benefit from such an exchange, Thomas cites the possibility of a teacher not having enough students to fill a full day of classes. Adding students from another district might make a difference.
"You always want the kids to have the best opportunities," Sparks emphasizes.
"The more you can do for the kids, the better," Thomas adds.
Teaching by video conference isn't anything new for GWISD. Sparks says some of his students have taken courses from a teacher in Three Rivers.
"It's a good idea, as long as you have a good connection, enough bandwidth and a teacher who knows how to teach over video."
The districts plan to conduct a test within the next week.
If the test is successful, Sparks plans to take video-conference teaching a step further.
"We will record the sessions," he says, "and put them on our website as podcasts."

we are in cap hell and will be for years to come... interesting that the bobcats salary this year is 39m, 27m next year and 'zero' the following year. now i am not suggesting we go to this extreme, but sure could make things interesting..
Since we're approaching the all-star break I thought it would be a good time for everybody to give their first half grades on the players, coaching, and team as a whole.
Marbury- I'll be the first to admit I'm not much of a Marbury fan but since December he's played extremely well. He's defense has been good and He's been aggressive on offense but not to the point where he hasn't gotten others involved.
Grade B
Crawford- Crawford likes normal has been up and down. He's had is great 4th quarters and of course the 50 point game but his defense and decision making has been awful at many points. Despite all his flaws he's still fairly young and has a knack for making big shots.
Grade C
Q Rich- Q has definitely shown signs this year. He's our best perimeter defender by far and until recently has really been stroking the 3. As of late he's been in shooting slumps but he's also been battling injuries. My only thing with him is he should post up and drive more. He's extremely strong and can post a lot of two guards when he is playing the 2 spot.
Grade B-
Fyre- Disappointing start for Fyre. The first month of the season he was downright awful but since then he's been better, offensively at least. A lot of people bad mouth Curry for not rebounding or playing defense. But Fyre definitely has shown no improvement in either of those areas.
Grade C -
Curry- 19.8 ppg 7 bounds. And that's counting the first month of the season where he played like the Eddy Curry of the past few seasons. Like it or not guys he's a huge part of our future. He's a big time low post presence who commands a double team. Also as of late he's become better at passing out of the post. When we made this trade we all hoped for numbers like this and now he's producing. The defense and rebounding are obviously nowhere near where we need it but he's still young and getting better.
Grade A-
David Lee- I really don't even have to explain anything about my grade for him but ill give some reasons. He's our best rebounder, hardest worker, and hustles the most and the list goes on. If he can devolve a mid range jumper we're talking about a future all-star for years to come.
Grade- A
Jefferies- what can I say, as of right now he's a bust? He at times has looked completely lost on the court. I knew he wasn't a great offensive player but he's looked downright pitiful at that end. I'm hoping he can provide us with a defense presence but at this point I'd rather see Balkman take his minutes.
Grade F
James- basically what I said for Jeffries goes for James. Total waste of money. Wouldn't Jackie Butler look wonderful playing 8 min a night right now? The only bright spot is at least he's garnering a few minutes these days.
Grade D -
Nate- I was a big Nate fan but I've definitely soured on him. He's just stupid on the court at times and makes stupid plays, fouls, and shots. Last season and early on this year he was at least giving us a spark of the bench, but since the fight his aggressiveness is gone. He's a good 3 shooter but he's much more dangerous when he drives to the basket.
Grade C
Francis- He's been hurt and its obvious he's nowhere near what he was. Against Utah he played pretty well, but we don't need to be paying this type of money for a backup point guard. Since he's been hurt I won't bother giving him a grade.
Grade- Inc
Balkman- when we drafted him my first reaction was who the **** is he? But I've been pleasantly surprised. He hustles, rebounds, plays D, and runs the court. He really has no offense other then dunks and put backs but I'm pretty happy with him.
Cato, Collins, Malik- I really don't have much to say about these guys. Mainly because other then Malik they rarely get minutes. I'd much rather see Cato play then James but I understand the money commitment and why we have to play James over him. I really have no opinion on Collins other then he's a Temple guy who most likely plays good D
Isiah AS A COACH NOT A GM-
And I'll point it out yet again so Metro doesn't try to give me ****. This grade is on the on the court coaching not his general manger duties. I must tell you I have no complaints with his coaching. Were obviously a much better team and we definitely seem to have a sense of unity. I like how he runs the offense through Curry. My only complaint is on the last second shots. But that may be Crawford's fault for not penetrating.
The team-
I know we're not contenders and probably won't be legit contenders for a few years. But I'm happy with this team. We've lost plenty of winnable games but you can definitely see improvement. Just think back to last year this time and how un-watchable this team was.
we are in cap hell and will be for years to come... interesting that the bobcats salary this year is 39m, 27m next year and 'zero' the following year. now i am not suggesting we go to this extreme, but sure could make things interesting..
I agree...this is why Dolan is cutting out any more trades or signings. We don't need anymore changes. There is nothing wrong to make a move here and there to get what you need i.e. a real defensive C....none of this garbage Jerome James stuff. In fact I'd love to see Cato start. He's our best defensive Center and he's a lot more active than James. Some of you might be too young to remember this lol but a while back Cato had to grind out a playoff series against shaq. Ultimately they the Lakers won, but the defense that Cato put on Shaq was tremendous...
Stay Tuned.....
Good post. I agree about 98%. Not to ride Marbury but I think this season he's really stepped it up and silenced his critics by playing unselfishly. For this reason I'd give him and A but your post and reason for the grade is straight. Regarding Thomas as a GM/Coach, it's almost like you need to grade him twice. As a coach, no question he's solid and brings the best out of the team. As a GM, I'm really not sure. I'd say C or C- maybe but over all B average is right.
Thank you. To read a well thought out post that isn't cuss filled is an absolute delight. Isiah risked with Jefferies and James, and though it hasn't been what I'm sure he hoped, there is still hope that these guys can except a role, and learn to excel in it. Thanks again for a great post.
Marbury= B+
Collins=F+(because of the low blow move on JR Smith, and he isn't doing good in the training sessions)
Cato=..dont know
Francis=D+(I'm expecting more from him since he is being paid so much)
Marbury= B
Crawford= C (can`t shoot)
Curry= B- (Can`t still play defense. Scoring is not a big thing)
Jeffries= D (disappointment)
Richardson= C+
Frye= C- (He is young. He needs time to develop.)
Robinson= F (He behaves like 10 years old boy)
James=F- (I would love to have his job. No performance but a lot of money. I like it)
Lee= A+ (In my opinon he is the future of the franchise. I love his game.
Balkman= D- (Bad draft decision)
Collins= F- (Bad draft decision)
Cato= (Garbage Player)
Francis= F
Rose= F (We don`t need him anymore)
Improved offensive facilitator, improved defense and much better leader than previously in his career... this is what LB wanted out of him... glad Isiah could coax this performance from him... more critical to our success than most people give him credit for
Makes boneheaded decisions with the ball... but is insanely brilliant at times... his inconsistency keeps him from being a superstar...
Said this before... lousy defense, bad passing, sub par rebounding... however... he's growing game to game and may very well be an A before the season's out...
Someone should have told JJ that #20 usually gets reviled in NY... add that to the fact that he can't defend, rebound or score (so far) and you see why he scores so low...
In a shooting slump currently... but he's a good defender, excellent rebounder and hard worker...
Good shooting big man... can spread the floor giving Curry, Marbury and Crawford more room to manuever... has similar holes as curry (defense, rebounding)... but is a better passer...
Needs to grow the hell up... not as bad as some people think... but if Isiah can get him to buy into the system... could be a spark plug off the bench...
This was a bad idea when I heard Isiah talking about signing him after good 6 game series in Seattle (where he outplayed an injured Tim Duncan)... it's an even worse idea to watch him play...
Hustle... Rebounding... Heart... Energy... Enthusiasm... he reminds me of Camby without the defensive ability... a wee bit overrated I think... but definately a buidling block for the franchise...
Same comments as Lee... except he's a better defender and less polished offensively... however, this kid's future is bright...
Haven't seen enough of him to grade him...
I would play him ahead of either of the JJs...
Hasn't done anything since becoming a knick... just chashing checks...
Could be productive... but we don't use him enough... would play him more than the JJ twins... but not Cato...
Over rated? wow never heard that one before... What makes you say Lee's a wee bit overrated??
Marbury - B+
He has tried his best on defense. He has passed the BALL alot. His assist average would be higher if he had more spot up shooters around him and less one on one turnover prone scoring options.
Crawford - C
Has scored well. His problem though he chucks as if he's an all star. Ladies and gentlemen...Jamal Crawford will never make an all star team, unless its in the D-League, Puerto Rico or Europe. His defense is poor also. He seems to only get Curry invovled. I've seen him ignore Lee and Fyre too much. Not good for the offense.
Richardson - B+
Would of got an A if it wasn't for the injury and his little slump. People forget he was playing like an all star for a month. Amazing role player and locker room personality. Always smiling during the good times, showing his emotions when the team is down and letting his teammates know he cares about the basketball. Great all around swingman, does alot of things, underrated defensively. Can rebound and score.
Channing Fyre - F
Disappointing season so far. His defense somehow has gotten worse. His confidence and swagger isn't the same from last year in the beginning of his rookie year. His post game hasn't improved much either. Shoots a terrible FG for a big men, even Kurt Thomas can do better and all Kurt does is shoot jumpers.
Eddy Curry - C
Despite having his stats inflated by Isiah, his defense along with Fyre has gotten worse. He rarely contest shots or gets physical with his opposing player. Even being the worse man to man defensive center in the NBA, Curry is awful at help defense, really terrible. He averages .5 blks per game. He also brings over 3 turnovers to the team, which has been our biggest downfall this season. Curry's point blank scoring has been consistant(so have his minutes).
Curry doesn't want Isiah to go because Isiah doesn't make Curry play defense. Isiah won't do this, but the right thing to do is decrease Curry's minutes if he's not playing atleast average defense. He should be rewarded with good defensive efforts. His offense becomes irrevelant when the opposing player is burning Eddy Curry back. Why do you guys think we lose so many close games? We're building around offense on turnover prone one dementional 1on1 players like Curry and Crawful who get burned by the other player.
David Lee - A
He has done so much for the Knicks this season. All his timely basketballs, amazing rebounding preformances, his emotion and rage on the court that energizes the team. His popularity at the Garden...everytthing. He should start, he has proven he can be a productive starter, why rot him the bench? Kobe would be a productive 6th man obviously, but he's the best player in the league so why bench him? Lee is the best big man on this roster. No reason not to start him.
Jeffries - F
Another awful FA signing by Isiah, cause of kept Barnes or Ime who's much better.
Cookies - F
Same as Jefferies
Malik Rose - F
Good guy...but who cares? If we want morals and norms in the locker room, tell the Knicks to hire a priest or pastor. Malik Rose is too slow and short to do anything productive on the basketball court.
Nate Robinson - F
Has the talent to be really good, but is too arrogrant and egostical to realize reality. He's a 5"8 version of Jamal Crawford with no court vision. His play making skills are limited, his ability to create for his teammates hasn't been seen this season. Not a good back up PG if you want to win basketball games. I mean who in the league wants a PG who averages 1 assist a game? If you played Curry at PG he would do a better job than Nate at dishing.
Balkman - B
Shows alot of potential. Isiah knows talent when he sees it, too bad he doesn't know how to form a winning team together.
Balkman is the Knicks best all around defender, and should get minutes, especially when we're poor defensively. We have guys like Collins and Balkman, why doesn't Isiah play them?
Collins - C+
Same as Balkman
Francis - F
Please leave, than you.
Isiah, you ugly man...start this lineup after allstar break.
PG - Marbury (Play making)
SG - Richardson (Around all around swing man with a jumpshot)
SF - Balkman (Our best defensive player)
PF - Lee (Our best rebounder)
C - Curry (Our best scorer)
Wow...look at the balance.
I have to agree with everything Metro said, with one exception....
Jamal Crawford should get at least a D, this guy plays absolutly NO defense. Sometimes he gets beat so badly that you have to wonder if he's even looking at the guy he's guarding. He plays no help defense, and I've seen him on more than one occasion move out of the way of a guy who's cutting to the basket to avoid taking a charge.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is he's got all the tools to be a great defender. He's got really quick hands and good size for guard. I may be dating myself, but I think he has the same body type as Darrell Walker who was a great defender.
The other thing with Crawford is all those flat out stupid decisions he makes....all the positives that he may bring offensively are balanced out by his tendency to turn the ball over at the worst possible moments, and his lack of defense.
channing frye, curry and nate get all kinds of **** for the holes in their games... but we ignore his flaws... i just thought giving lee an A THIS season is kinda tough to justify... unless you're grading on potential...
i think an A is a top ten player at their position... garnet, duncan, amare, boozer, j o'neal, dirk, gasol, okafor, webber, randolph...
i think lee will eventually be better than all of these guys except garnett (better all around), duncan (better fundamentals) and dirk (better shooter)...

City Room: A homespun VermonterNovember 26,2012
File Photo Local farmer and sugarmaker Burr Morse has been spinning yarns about Central Vermont for years.
Growing up in central Vermont, you come to know the Morse name. With no disrespect to Burr, I knew his brother Elliot first. Our family had Volkswagens that seemed to always be in some state of needing repair. Elliot was our mechanic. It was always a big thrill for me to ride over to his garage, listen to the grownups catch up and talk politics.
Thats a far cry from sugaring, but it is a slice of small-town life. It wasnt until I moved back to central Vermont, and moved back into the house I grew up in in Plainfield, that I became acquainted with Burrs column on these pages. (In case you were wondering, there is one today on A4.)
I have always appreciated newspapers that devoted space to locals who had something to say. There are plenty of people out there who can write, but they really have nothing very original to say. And, in all honesty, no one enjoys reading something that isnt either a) well written or b) interesting. Otherwise it is just self-important ramblings. (Ive been accused of that on more than a few occasions.)
When Burr Morses third book came out earlier this year, he was 64. Clearly, across those decades, Burr has observed our rural life and collected details like shells off the beach. What differentiates Burr from the rest of us is his uncanny ability, in fewer than 1,000 words at a shot, to pull us right up to his kitchen table, sit us down with a hot cup of coffee, and make us feel right at home in the telling of a tale. Most of them are laced with humor; a few of them are sad but the humor is still present, even if it is just in the way it is told.
That is a gift. And this newspaper has been very lucky over the years to devote space every other Monday for Burr to muse. Some would say hes a celebrity; others would say hes a humor historian; some might even infer a tall-tale teller. But no one can argue that they dont feel like Burrs friend after reading his columns.
His books, including Sugar Words, are compilations of those weekly columns that started out here but also were sent out to thousands of folks across the country who have come to depend on Burr Morse for a dose of Vermont. Many of them are people from here who moved away; many others are people whose lives have been touched by Burrs writings or by visiting with him at Morse Farm in East Montpelier. Either way, he connects with people in the simplest, most congenial way there is: he captures the kindness in moments, the little things in life, and every column is filled to the brim with evidence that Burr Morse is living his life to the fullest.
He reminds us often that we need to take more time to notice, to take in the little things. We need to pay attention to the natural world around us, and appreciate more the interactions we have because there are always lessons to be learned and moments to celebrate.
We are proud to have Burrs musings on our pages. We all need friends so warm and thoughtful. We all need writing so original and ideas so fun and thought-provoking. Burr Morse is, through nostalgia and everyday life, writing our history.
Thats pretty sweet stuff from a fifth-generation Vermonter. We are all pretty lucky to have Burr at our kitchen table over coffee these mornings.
Burr Morses books are available at area bookstores and at the Morse Farm, of course. Steven Pappas is the editor of The Times Argus; he remains in awe of this beloved Vermonter.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Bobblehead Babble & Medical Mysteries
Kyle Kendrick got the start today against the Twins in Spring action and surprisingly, did not do half bad. While a decent performance today will not likely put him back in the running for the 5th starters spot, it at least shows that he is still capable of getting the job done, like he did in 2007 and the 1st half of 2008. Kendrick lasted 5 full innings and gave up 5 hits, 1 walk and 2 earned runs. Clay Condrey, Scott Eyre and Brad Lidge also pitched in the game, none of the 3 surrendering a run; Lidge looked solid, had a wicked slider and appears to be in good health.
Today's game was aired on Comcast Sportsnet, giving the baseball starved locals something to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Sadly though, the offensive production on both sides of the diamond was lacking with the only scoring occurring in the 1st and 9th innings. The game ended in a 2-1 Phillies loss and that one run came off the bat of Eric Bruntlett in the 9th, who shot a ball over the left field fence. Beyond that, broadcasters tried to make the game interesting by showing sample of the Phillies' upcoming game giveaways which included a World Champions t-shirt, a Jayson Werth blanket for the ladies, a bucket cap and various other items. The item which seemed to interest everyone the most was the Charlie Manuel bobblehead doll. Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins had their reactions to the new doll taped; Rollins, always the comedian, went so far as to make the doll "talk" about his infamous benching last year by Manuel. You cannot make this stuff up; see for yourself:
So, what do you think? Will Rollins behave this year or, will he get benched again and toss the bobblehead across the room? The jury is out…
And since the game was a tad on the boring side today, I spent my free time in between batters setting up an ER for the wounded Phillies players. Yes, more reports came in today about Greg Dobbs being scratched from the starting line-up due to some sort of muscle "tweak"; Jason Donald did not play either as he has a mystery ankle ailment; Cole Hamels' progress after the sore elbow has been down-played. Looks like these guys just need a stand-by, 24-hour emergency room.
We wish them all a pleasant and speedy recovery :O)

Jenn – the number of injuries has been crazy! I really hope things settle down before the season starts or out it will be a long, stressful one.
The bobblehead video was funny! Hopefully, the injuries are not a sign of things to come. I am hopeful that Cole Hamels will be able to pitch Opening Day as he believes he can (unless it would potentially mean a setback).
Thanks so much for the bobblehead video! It was hilarious! I'm hoping the Phillies don't have to cope with what the Braves had to cope with last year…lots and lots of injuries. Speedy recoveries to all!
Very funny video, Jenn. Let's hope for your sake that Rollins won't get benched and doesn't have to throw the doll at anybody!
That video is great. I think Rollins is bringing his "A" game this year. I have enjoyed watching him play in the WBC. I will not enjoy watching him play against my Cardinals! : )
I love that video! I saw it while watching the game and couldn't stop laughing!🙂
Lol a Phillies emergency room. I was wondering, when I was at the game on Saturday, if I broke my hand… would they take me to the Red Sox clubhouse? Hmmm…
Haha, love the ER. But seriously, the injuries so far have been terrible! We need these guys to be ready for the season! I just hope Jake Peavy doesn't get hurt…

Randy Finch and Derek Maxfield own and operate Ice Sculptures Ltd in Grand Rapids. You may have also seen them on Ice Brigade on the Food Network. Randy was kind enough to answer a few questions about ice carving.
Q: Is ice carving a popular Michigan activity?
A: Although Michigan is no stranger to ice carving festivals, they are more common in the winter because it is a wonderful to way to generate traffic in a city's downtown area in an otherwise slow economical time. An example of this is in Rockford. Three years ago there would be maybe 30 people in the town on an average Saturday. In one weekend last year, they had over 15,000 visiting shops.
Q: How would a beginner learn more about ice carving?
A: Ice sculpting is usually learned in culinary schools or apprenticing with a professional in the industry. However, in 2003 we published the first ever ice sculpting book in English for students to have the ability to learn on their own as well as have as a reference material. At this time, this book has become the standard in culinary schools around the United States. You can check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Ice-Sculpting-Modern-Robert-Garlough/dp/1401804055
Q: What kind of ice and tools do you use?
A: The ice is specially made in clinebell tanks to alleviate the ice of impurities. Major carving tools can range based on the project that is taking place. With that said, there are traditional tool like chisels, handsaws, ice chipers. We also use die grinders, chainsaws, and we even have a computerized ice sculpting machine that can give us perfect sculptures. With each of these tools, we are able to address any and all projects that people bring to us.
Q: What are some of the big festivals or events in Michigan that feature ice carving?
A: Although several of Michigan's Winter festivals purchase their ice and scultpures from out of state, the two most important winter festivals in Michigan are the Rockford Ice Festival (which was just this past weekend) and the Traverse City Winter WOW Fest (February 18 – 21) These two festivals not only have an amazing turnout but live up to the standard of Pure Michigan because they strictly use Michigan-based ice sculpting.
Q: What have been some of the biggest or most unique creations done by the Ice Brigade?
A: There are so many exciting moments and fun sculptures we were able to create – from a 30 ft by 30 ft chess set which was playable, a functional ice piano, a pinball machine, a rideable rotating carasel, a playable casino with rollete wheel and rollable dice for the craps table, a riding bull and so many more!!!
Q: What are some of the biggest challenges when doing an ice sculpture?
A: Designing to fit the needs of client, what they want, figuring out how its going to be transported, and how to make it last the length of the party are all challenges. There are a wide range of factors that are taken into consideration to make each ice sculpture unique and successful. A successful sculpture begins and ends with a successful plan.
Q: Where can people learn more about ice carving?
A: Check out our site, along with our Facebook page, Twitter account and YouTube channel.

Re: Newman's new sneakers
Just a side-note for everyone.....NEW BALANCE is the ONLY American sneaker manufacturer that makes or assembles ALL their sneakers in The United States. They use at LEAST 70% domestic materials unless they have to import certain components from abroad due to shortages or dissatisfaction in the domestic components available. Just thought some of you patriotic folks might like to know that. Also, if their IS imported materials in the sneakers it is listed on the tag.
Unless you've experienced the Unconditional Love and Loyalty of a good dog, you have yet to live.

Question about the product
Our Customers Say:
I ordered the wrong size on Friday. Saturday I called in a correction but the wrong size was shipped Monday before the correction was caught. On Friday I received the wrong size. No one took any action to correct the error until I called SportsKids the next day. On Monday I got an e-mail stating that the correct size had been sent and that a prepaid return authorization would also be sent. I received the correct size and returned the wrong size. I am pleased that Customer Service took the appropriate action. I will buy again from SportsKids and will not hesitate to recommend them to my friends.
