SACS Reaffirmation
What is SACS or SACSCOC?
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges
What is the purpose of SACSCOC?
The SACSCOC Web page describes the purpose of this organization: "The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges is the regional body for the accreditation of degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern states. The Commission's mission is the enhancement of educational quality throughout the region and it strives to improve the effectiveness of institutions by ensuring that institutions meet standards established by the higher education community that address the needs of society and students. It serves as the common denominator of shared values and practices among the diverse institutions in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Latin America and other international sites approved by the Commission on Colleges that award associate, baccalaureate, master's, or doctoral degrees."
What is reaffirmation?
Every ten years, South Plains College undergoes an evaluation by SACS for reaffirmation of accreditation. This accreditation by SACS allows SPC to continue to award associate degrees. SACS evaluates all degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern states to ensure they are meeting the highest educational standards. South Plains College's accreditation assures that the college maintains its strong reputation and its credits will transfer to other accredited colleges and universities. Accreditation also means the college is eligible for state and federal funds, specifically funding for student financial aid.

Jane Elliott, who devised the "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise in teaching about prejudice, will present "The Anatomy of Prejudice" on Wednesday, March 11, at 8 p.m. at Hope College in Dimnent Memorial Chapel through the "Teaching Hope Diversity Program" coordinated by the college's Student Congress.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
In response to the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Elliott developed the "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise to teach the students in her elementary classroom about prejudice. The exercise labels participants as inferior or superior based solely upon the color of their eyes and exposes them to the experience of being a minority.
In her presentation at Hope, Elliott will introduce and discuss the Peabody Award-winning film "The Eye of the Storm," which was produced by ABC News about the exercise. She will also explore with the audience the problems of racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia and ethnocentrism, and the responsibility shared by all to identify them and eliminate them from within oneself and the environment.
Those attending the presentation will be encouraged to discuss the issues raised as they relate to their own workplace. They will also be encouraged to discuss the materials presented on handouts which designed to help them to identify their own racist statements, behaviors and attitudes. Participants will receive a list of suggested activities designed to help them to decrease the amount of racism in their environment and a list of books which can provide added insights into the problems of the -isms with which people are confronted.
The Teaching Hope Diversity Program is planned and executed by student leaders elected as representatives of the student body. The series aims to supplement Hope's liberal arts curriculum with relevant, informative speakers of interest to students and community members.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

The Giants had the division, no doubt they squandered the chance. Yes, you play who is on your schedule but in the long run the Redskins are more of a one trick pony than a legit, buddy enemy. The OL will not be able to run like they did this year and RG3 will be forced to do more and more and there is the downfall. Without the play fake RG3 is no more than above average QB throwing to below average talent.
RG3 will only stands a chance if Afred Morris continues his excellent production which i dont believe he will!
Morris is a beast for the skins. if not for him they surely would not be playoff bound!
People have doubted Griffin all the way to the playoffs. Keep crying.

One thing for sure after a decade or so of the NFCE remaining mostly stable, the landscape will be drastically changed from this point forward.
I hate and have hated any kind or Run-Option, Wildcat, Wild-Dolphin, etc kind of Offense in the Pro-League the instant it got "introduced."
It seems cheap and phony but let's be real here.
Is it not the job of every HC and his Assistants to gameplan to secure a Win? So if that means tricking you with the QB out on the edge or running the freaking Pistol set to throw, run or option-run, well...
If Reese does his due diligence he recognize the threat RGP represents and begin to acquire pieces to better spy, contain or hit that *******. Also Alfred Morris is no one to sneeze at...
Also Rob Ryan's Defense did improve and most likely only gets better from this point forward.
As to the Eagles, they will be the most radically changed so who knows what they will morph into?

A scientific principle is a statement based on repeated experimental observation that describes some aspect of the world.
Causality is a scientific principle and describes the relationship between objects. It is otherwise known as "Cause and Effect" and states that every action and everything in motion (effects) must have a cause (instigator). Causality debunks the atheist's assertion that this universe proceeded from nothing.

Carla Gugino's Racy Roles in Film, Television and Music
Sexy actress Carla Gugino will "Always" keep us coming back for more.
The leggy, super-sexy brunette Carla Gugino has been burning up the big and small screens since the late 1980s, snagging guest spots in shows such as Who's the Boss?, ALF and The Wonder Years before starring roles in Pauly Shore comedy Son in Law and the music video for Bon Jovi's "Always." Although she started out as our teen crush, she is all grown up and has come into her own.
It makes perfect sense that Gugino would have begun her career as a model — her striking looks and hot figure make her a natural. Unfortunately (or fortunately, for us!) she was told that at 5'5" she was too short to be a runway model. We are just as surprised to hear this as you are — with her endless-looking legs, we assumed she must be half a head taller at least! She decided instead to go into acting and we're oh-so-glad she did. Gugino has an impressive list of credits under her belt, including quite a number of action movies, including Jet Li's The One and Frank Miller's Sin City (as well as playing spy MILF…er, mom Ingrid Cortez in the three Spy Kids films), before taking on the role of pinup superhero Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre in 2009's Watchmen. However, we are perhaps most fond of the sexy Gugino in her role as porn star Electra Luxx in the films Women in Trouble and its sequel, Electra Luxx. Take a look at this hot scene from Women in Trouble and tell us you don't wish Electra Luxx was a real porn star. Yeah, we didn't think so.
And check out this sexy short video of Electra Luxx in the bathtub.
We're glad to say that the lovely Gugino has recently returned to television with stints on Entourage, Californication and Justified and now stars in Political Animals, which means we are lucky enough to get a weekly fix of the hot, leggy star.

People who aren't truly rednecks, but more like guys who come from city/suburban to wealthy environments who will buy a truck, listen to country music and brag about "being a redneck." You can tell that they look up to people like Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy as some sort of guidence reference on how to be a redneck. They are generally all-talk, and they tend to always talk about their truck, hunting, their gun collection, country music, and the like.
FR: "So we were listening to some Toby Keith while we were muddin' in ma truck and we saw some deer and we shot them summbitches...."

Parents form petition to get daycare moved to new location
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Parents of children at the Student Parent Center daycare at University Village aren't waiting for the university to find solutions to the endangered daycare. Instead, they've formed a petition to get the daycare moved to a new, safer location and ensure it stays open.
Several parents told ABC 17 News they keep sending emails and calling to find out what the university's plan for the daycare is, but they haven't heard back.
"The children deserve a safe place and I want the university to tell us what's going on," Claire Schmidt said.
So she and several other parents formed a petition Friday night and are hoping it will force the university into action.
"We will be circulating it to the community to ask administration to come up with a plan for the daycare that is sustainable, affordable, and safe," Naomi Clark said.
Parents are worried about both the safety of the building and the future of the daycare.
"If the student center goes away, I won't be able to graduate in May," Clark said.
"If the university doesn't want to put in a new location, it would send a message that there are certain students who are important to MU and there are certain ones who aren't and apparently student parents are not.
The longer their calls and emails to the university remain unanswered, the more upset these parents say they've become.
"I paid for a daycare that turned out unsafe and I'm angry," Schmidt said. "I'd like the university to acknowledge the fact that they put our children in danger."

I picked up at kitchen table at Wal-mart for less than $100. Works out good. Have my Janome 11000 on it.
I bought a piece of plywood, sanded it and beveled the edges. Then put 2 coats of varnish and it sits on top of my
old treadle legs. Love it. It doesn't wobble at all and looks good, too. Very cost effective. I use it for my FW.
Hi, My DH found an OLD teacher's desk that a local school was clearing out and snagged it for free----solid oak! After many coats of poly, he set it on table legs from a big box home store (am thinking of swapping table legs for filing cabinets at some point). I have loads of room for what I'm working on and the table was as close to free as you can get. It's so solid I think the house could fall down and the table would still be standing. Only extra thing we did was add a large Olfa mat to the top and hang pegboard on the wall where sits on for extra storage. It's great!
We bought an inexpensive door - covered it with 1/4" foam rubber, then covered it again with heavy muslin. It is now an ironing board plus I put my cutting boards on it. It can be put on top of 2-drawer file cabinets or whatever you have that is tall enough.
If you have to use plywood, you could cover it with the vinyl fleece-backed tablecloths that are inexpensive. Cover and staple underneath.
I got a computer desk at a consignment shop for $75.00! Score for me. It is a wood top with 3 steel legs. Wide to the left with ample room for a quilt and I can even have an ironing pad behind my machine. I love sewing/quilting now!
I have peel and stick tile on the top of extra thick ply wood..works great. We fixed it that wy for my daughter to practice her tap dancing years ago. Gotta love the scraps!
you can use a small piece of ply on the folding table, it will absorb alot of the vibration especially if the machine is over the legs on the right side. If you use plywood for the top with file cabinets or elfa drawers you can cover the board with fabric and clear vinyl or a flannel back table cloth. I now have a sewing desk that my machine fits in. But before that I used one of these which I still take to me to sewing classes. http://sewingmates.com/ The thing I like about this table is that it will fit more than one sewing machine. Since most of us tend to get more than one.
I bought the one from JoAnn's when it was on sale for 1/2 price. It has a leaf that opens up to make it extra large. A swing out door that gives me space to either put a small ironing mat when piecing or an extra machine, drawers and storage. It was easy to put together and it has held up very well. I can have it with my embroidery machine going and I'll be sewing on the other side with no shaking going on. Before that I used my dinning room table and an old wood desk bought at a thrift store.
Here's the one I got but it was at JoAnn's 1/2 price


text: I've seen California lilac listed in many places as bee friendly. They're massive bushes full of dark blue flowers and they're in bloom right now. While I was looking at a grove of these in Sausalito I saw tons of bumble bees in them but no honey bees. Is my observation accurate, or are the California lilacs good for honey bees?

Welcome to our E-Newsletter
Message from Scott: Updating you on recent Avista news
I recently enjoyed a day at Manito Park with my wife Liz and our grandson. It's nice to be outside in the warmer weather—our communities really seem to come alive this time of year, don't they? As I watched my grandson play, I thought about all the generations of people who have raised their families throughout this region. It's amazing to think that Avista has been part of the fabric of these communities for nearly 125 years. Our region has grown, and continues to grow so much. The work you do as business and community leaders is vital to that growth. And it's part of my job to ensure we are planning for the future—so that the next generation has access to affordable, reliable energy. It really is remarkable to think how long we've been serving this area and many of you, as well.
I personally wanted to take a minute to thank you for your business. Your role in our organization is clearly essential, and we appreciate all you do for our local economies. I know I can say I've worked with many of you over the years, and I appreciate all the projects we've accomplished together. As a company, we continue to look for ways to provide more value to the communities we serve—from developing Smart Grid technology or bringing wind power to our region—to stocking fish or enhancing recreation along our rivers, and encouraging our employees to give back by volunteering their time and talent to countless community organizations. At Avista, we are always looking for ways to be involved.
And we'd like to stay better connected with you, providing information about the work we do, energy topics important to the work you do, customer highlights and more. Below you will find a collection of short articles outlining current updates from Avista. We hope you will find these pieces informative and helpful to you as you conduct business in and lead our communities. We'll be sending out this e-newsletter every other month and welcome your feedback.
Scott Morris, CEOAvista
Spokane Public Schools Continues to Save
Spokane Public Schools (SPS) gets an A+ in energy savings for efficiency improvements made to district schools and facilities in 2012. The improvements qualified for $300,000 in energy efficiency rebates and incentives from Avista and are expected to save SPS approximately $125,000 annually in energy costs. Since 2005, the school district has received $2.3 million in energy efficiency incentives on over 200 energy efficiency projects. Through a continued commitment to saving energy, SPS has saved over $800,000 in annual energy costs. That's enough energy to power over 700 homes for a year and provide natural gas to 375 homes. In an environment of continued budget cuts, these savings represent a great value to the district and to our community. Projects completed in 2012 included new energy efficient lighting at 19 elementary schools, ENERGY STAR appliances, modernizations at three elementary schools and construction of a new Westview Elementary School. Combined, these particular projects are expected to annually save enough energy to power 100 homes for a year and provide natural gas to 60 homes. That's over 1.2 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) and more than 53,000 therms saved. "Energy efficiency is a sustainable way for school districts to manage their costs while creating a more comfortable learning environment for students," said Ann Carey, Avista's multi-site account executive. "Spokane Public Schools has made a strong and sustained commitment to energy efficiency, and we look forward to helping them continue that focus in the future." Like SPS, residential, commercial and industrial customers can take advantage of energy efficiency rebates and incentives we offer as a way to help reduce energy use and resulting costs. The programs are available because generally it costs less to help customers reduce their usage through energy efficiency programs than to acquire additional, more costly energy resources. "Reducing energy use is a great example to set for our future generations. By upgrading our facilities, we are creating better learning environments for our students and teaching them to be stewards of energy efficiency. We are grateful to Avista for providing opportunities that allow the school district to save energy, as well as taxpayer dollars," said Spokane Public Schools Associate Superintendent Dr. Mark Anderson.

Post Falls Dam project completed
In an effort to modernize our system and increase efficiency, work was recently completed at the Post Falls Dam. The project began in July 2012 to replace equipment that was more than 100 years old—both the original lifting hoists and the timber intake gates. New lifting hoists and steel gates were installed at the Middle Channel Dam. This work also enhanced safety and increased reliability. The Post Falls Dam currently generates 18 MW of energy.
Ryan Bean, mechanical engineer and Avista's Project Manager, said "Working on old structures always comes with unique challenges, and from fluctuating forebay levels due to the annual Coeur d'Alene Lake drawdown, to managing water leaking into the construction work area, this project was no exception." One element that was particularly challenging was staggering construction while operating the powerhouse, as work could only be done on two gates at a time. To reduce customer impacts and maintain the recreational opportunities upstream of the dam, our operators and crews continually juggled turbines to pass incoming river flows in order to avoid using the spillways.
Learn more about this and other Spokane River projects.
Community organizations receive grants
2012 giving from Avista Foundation and Avista Corp. totaled more than $1.6 million.Avista employees volunteer MORE THAN 50,000 hours annually.
Local non-profit support organizations are vital to the communities they serve. They are often a much needed safety net to some of the area's most vulnerable populations. These agencies, combined with educational initiatives and economic prosperity and cultural vitality projects, are the focus of the Avista Foundation.
We've been involved in area communities for a long time, and one of the more focused ways we can participate is through our foundation. The Avista Foundation is a community investment program of Avista Utilities, providing funding to non-profit organizations addressing the needs of communities and citizens served by Avista Utilities in eastern Washington, northern Idaho, portions of southern Oregon, as well as Sanders County, Montana.
In total the foundation's total giving in 2012 was $477,839. Together with donations made by Avista Corp., 2012 giving to organizations in the company's service territory totaled more than $1.6 million, up from $1.4 million in 2011. Funding for these donations comes from foundation funds and company profits. It is not included as a cost to customers in developing retail rates.
And the spirit of volunteerism is highly valued as well. Avista employees gave nearly 50,000 hours of volunteer service to community organizations in their hometowns. One of our largest volunteer efforts last year was with the Salvation Army's annual "Backpack for Kids" program. Partnering alongside community volunteers, more than 120 employees helped give away more than 3,700 backpacks stuffed with school supplies, serving more than 1,500 families.
"Even without the charity this company gives to the community, Avista and its employees make the Inland Northwest a better place to live," said Captain Kyle Smith, Salvation Army Corps officer. "We greatly appreciate the leadership Avista has shown throughout the years in strengthening the safety net services for those most in need in our community."
Learn more about the Avista Foundation, including the key focus areas for funding.
Long Lake recreation improvements
Our Spokane River recreation plan includes projects that enhance public recreation opportunities near and adjacent to our hydroelectric facilities. One such project we recently completed included the renovation of the picnic area located immediately downstream of Long Lake Dam. There we improved the parking areas, installed new fencing and a playground surface to make it safer for children, improved the kitchen shelter, installed new directional and interpretive signs, and constructed a put-in site for canoes and kayaks. Our goal was to make the facility safer and more enjoyable for everyone, including folks with disabilities.

High school students get creative, earn grants
Creativity and energy efficiency have came together to earn technology grants for two area high schools thanks to short videos produced by student teams in our annual Every Little Bit Video Contest.
High school students were given the opportunity to create short videos demonstrating the importance of energy efficiency practices and its benefit for the environment. More than 50 videos were submitted for judging, with students also promoting online voting for their video.
The winners of the Grand Prize are from Pullman High School in Pullman. The "Watts & Hertz" video earned a $2,500 technology grant for their school. In addition, each team member received an Apple iPad 3 and a tour of COMRADE Studios in Spokane with the opportunity to help prepare their video for television.
The Viewer's Choice award was "Be Bolt", a video created by Ferris High School students. Each received an Apple iPod Nano with their school receiving a $1,500 technology grant.
Honorable Mention award winners are from Freeman High School, Cheney High School, and Spokane Valley High. View the top five videos.
"These talented students are energy users, and as future customers, they'll make important choices about the use of earth's resources," said Patrick Lynch, Avista's director of energy solutions. "By engaging them in the importance of using energy wisely today, they'll be better stewards tomorrow."
This is the third consecutive year that a video from a student team at Pullman High School has received a technology grant through the Every Little Bit Video Contest, last year receiving the Viewer's Choice award. Three Pullman High School teams also received Honorable Mention awards in last year's contest.
"With the money we have received from Avista through the Every Little Bit Video Contest, we have purchased video cameras that have helped us transition from tape-based recording to flash media recording. The results in quality and efficiency have been amazing and have helped advance our school's multi-media program a great deal," said Doug Winchell, Pullman High School teacher and instructor for the Multimedia Class. "We will continue to do more of the same with this year's award. The iPads are a great incentive for kids to work on this project."
The Every Little Bit Video Contest is part of our energy efficiency education outreach which includes Wattson, the energy efficiency watchdog for K-3 students, with supporting materials for parents and teachers.

I hope the Giants are able to get home safe and sound, without any delays. I don't know if the Hurricane is causing any delays at the Metro area airports.
But to all of my fellow Giants fans, and to fans of other teams, please be safe in the coming days! My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you along the East coast!
Don't know if I posted this in the right forum, but this storm seems to be a monster in the making and means business, football is one thing, but life is most important.

text: I noticed this back in the fall when it was warmer and was running the A/C but forgot about it over these colder months. What it is is just a loud click that comes from somewhere in the dash behind the cooling controls every 7-10 seconds while the A/C is on. What is this from? It's like it's sending a signal to the compressor to cut it off and on way too frequently, but I'm not even sure if anything is even happening when the click occurs. It's not a huge deal but clicks, rattles, and other noises in my vehicles that others don't notice drive me crazy. In this case it's not too loud...I can't hear it when listening to the radio at my typical volume level... but it's easily heard at cruising speed with the volume really low so it is significant to overcome a little audio as well as cabin noise. So am I just weird and this is typical or what? I'm guessing it's just me. BTW: 2005 Silverado with the 5.3L and Dual Climate Control (all silverados have this though right?)

Checking In with J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker
|12.05.08 at 12:09 am ET
Last month Boston Celtics rookies J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker were assigned to the NBA Development League affiliate Utah Flash. Minutes are hard to come by with the defending world champions and the pair was headed down a road of DNPs. In just a few weeks, though, Giddens and Walker have gone from benchwarmers in Beantown to standouts in Provo. They caught up with WEEI.com in a telephone interview to explain why the grass is still pretty green in Utah.
Some players would rather forgo playing time to stay in the NBA, but you seemed to embrace the D-League. What was your reaction when you found out you were assigned to the Utah Flash?
JG: Well I was excited because I had an idea that I was going down there. My brother and some of my closest people talked about it, how it was going to be a good opportunity to go down there and get into game shape and just gain confidence and become better every day. So whenever I do get the chance from the Celtics to play, then I'll be in the best shape possible and I'll be able to take a good swing at it.
BW: I was excited to have a chance to be able to play again, so I was excited about going. J.R. was already down there and I just welcomed it.
After flying from a major city like Boston to Provo, what was your first impression of Utah?
BW: I just looked at the mountains and I was like, 'Oh I'm not in Boston any more.' I had fell asleep on the plane so that was the first thing I'd seen.
JG: I played in the Mountain West Conference so I had traveled out to this part of Utah before. I was just trying to soak up the culture. I was just trying to get a feel for it and just soak up the atmosphere out here and just enjoy the experience out here in Utah.
J.R. was assigned to the Flash a week before Bill. How excited were you to be playing together again?
JG: Well Bill's my partner in crime so it's like I was excited to have him down here. Just having somebody that you're familiar with and you're friends with playing with you makes it a lot easier … He's made this transition a lot easier for me and I hope that I've done the same for him.
BW: It was fun. He told me all the things the team has been up to and helped me with the plays and everything. So he helped me out with that …You always want to go into something like this with somebody you know because it's a totally different experience if you're by yourself.
Bill, you mentioned before that you enjoyed rooming with Michael Beasley at Kansas State last season. Now you're sharing an apartment with J.R. in Utah. How is having a new roommate?
BW: I wouldn't say I miss living with Mike (laughs). He was just real funny though. Him and J.R. are kind of similar in the effect that they're very funny guys.
Aside from keeping in touch with your teammates, what kind of feedback have you received from (Celtics President) Danny Ainge or (head coach) Doc Rivers?
JG: They just give me words of encouragement … It means a lot because obviously Doc Rivers, that's my coach, so he's pretty high on my priority list. So I'm just happy that he's thinking of me and knows that I'm down here working to help the Celtics out.
You were part of two Opening Nights this season ' one with the Celtics in October and another with the Flash in late November. How did the two compare?
BW: The Garden is definitely a different experience from anything I've ever seen, so I don't think anything is going to be able to top that.
JG: One opening night was a ring ceremony and the other opening night was just kind of introducing the basketball season. There was a lot more tradition in opening night with the Celtics, but the Flash had a great turnout and the fans supported us and you couldn't ask for a better turnout.
It took no time for you to become the leading scorers on the Flash. What kind of improvements have you seen in your game already?
JG: I'm just trying to be efficient and attacking the basket and finding teammates who are open and using my size to rebound and doing just more of whatever I can, whether it's enhance or defense or make somebody better by running the court. Just doing whatever I can to help the team win.
BW: Just trying to cut down on my turnovers right now, pass out of double teams, so that's the only difference. Just learning how to play in a 48 minute game, learning how to play hard but still pace yourself where you have enough to finish the game out.
You went from playing major minutes in college to hardly any in the NBA. What are the challenges in transitioning back to 35, 40, 45 minutes a night?
BW: You get a time where you're on a break and you're body is getting beat up that much because you're not getting any minutes and then all of a sudden you're thrown in there. It doesn't matter how much cardio you do. Until you play in the games, that's the only way you can really, really get into top shape.
JG: When you go from not playing to playing, I'd say the transition's more fun than hard. It's obviously difficult because you're not in game shape and you're trying to catch your rhythm, which you could be frustrated with your game or conditioning at times. But that's just part of the game and you've got to stay patient. I'm just really excited to come back out on the court because, like I said, I'd rather play than not play.
Out of the two of you J.R. was the long-range player, but so far it seems like role reversal. Bill, a power player on the Cs, has actually taken more shots from behind the arc. What sparked your recent 5-for-9 performance?
BW: I've just had more opportunities to shoot the ball down here. With the Celtics you really just play off of the other guys, you're really not a creator. That's probably the biggest difference, just the mentality change.
J.R., you used to compete in three-point shooting contests with Ray Allen after Celtics practice. So far you've shot 2-for-7 from long range. How does your three-point shot feel?
JG: I wouldn't say I'm struggling. We've only played three games and I've taken about six shots, probably less than ten. Now if I had shot like 100 and didn't make that many then I'd say I'm struggling, but no, the three-pointer feels good. It just hasn't been sinking but I feel confident and I know I'll hit a high percentage.
After being away from the team, what do you miss the most about playing with the Boston Celtics?
BW: A lot. Probably being around the guys every day. Just watching KG and those guys play every day because it seems like one of them does something good every game. (Rajon) Rondo just had a triple-double so I missed out on stuff like that.
JG: Just learning everything from being around those guys, seeing how they are every day, and just being in the NBA. It's been my dream and every experience, good and bad, you've just got to take it and just love it.
When you get called back up to the Celtics, which versions of Bill Walker and J.R. Giddens can we expect?
JG: I know I'll be a lot more confident and feel more fluid with my movements on the court and I'll feel like I'm in better shape. Being an athlete I feel like being in games in crucial because you use a certain amount of energy when you're playing. When you're not in game shape you're not as quick and you're not as on point as you normally would be.
BW: Probably a more confident Bill Walker. Just having some game experience on this level and knowing what I can do and what I can't do, so I'm learning the ropes.
Through the first three games of the D-League season, Giddens is averaging a team-high 23.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and shooting 54% FG. Walker is posting 22 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and is shooting 46% FG. To keep up with their progress, visit www.utahflash.com.

Being part of the [Web Link Leadership San Ramon Valley] Class of 2011, we were told that the October retreat was a must-attend event. Having learned more about [Web Link interacting with different personalities] in our September session, we moved along to getting to know each other better.
We knew the day would include team-building activities, like the dreaded trust fall. Turns out, it wasn't so bad, even though I did step back instead of fully rolling on my heels and allowing myself to be caught by my partner. Good thing the "fall" was only a few inches.
Then they pulled out the chairs for the extreme trust fall. It was similar to the scene from the movie "Mean Girls" except with adults and no one was dropped. (Sidenote: I think these LSRV recap blogs are showing my unrefined taste in entertainment. Like [Web Link my love of reality TV].)
The trust falls and other activities really challenged the group to learn to communicate well despite limitations and to take risks to get out of your comfort zone. This was perhaps the best take-away of all: pushing yourself to take a risk in order to grow. As this program molds the class into future leaders, these lessons will help us truly impact the community.
My favorite part of the day, however, was learning more about my classmates. We were each instructed to bring in a personal artifact that holds special value. Mine was a blue, sparkly Frisbee that was our wedding favor. The 175-gram disc is used to play Ultimate Frisbee, which is a sport that my husband and I play. In fact, both of our coed teams qualified for the national tournament in Florida. It's interesting how an everyday item can help tell someone's story. What about you -- do you have a personal artifact that you'd like to virtually share? Let me know in the comments!

I have always found it interesting that the San Ramon Valley Leadership has left out so many deserving citizens who are not affiliated with a business in favor of a business person who does not live in the San Ramon Valley.
As I look back at their members over time, they should redo their vetting, so that the people they choose actually give back to the San Ramon Valley.

text: First of all, sombody at the college must have a good buddy in government. This is down right highway robbery. For one thing, this question was answered back in "66" while I was in college at Regis in Denver, Colo. Asexual reproduction is a dead end evolution. There is no gene pool to draw from. Sexual reproduction draws from and strenthens the gene pool of the species. That is why even though it is labor intensive it is the reproduction of choice. Not to mention in the human species way more fun. They should throw everyone involved with this into prison for fraud.

A few final thoughts on the A's, and a Polls Update
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Oct 15, 2012
In the end, the A's were undone by fatigue more than any external opponent – even the redoubtable pitcher Justin Verlander, who authored two of Detroit's wins. After a fourth-game win pulled out of the ninth-inning netherlands, the team seemed oddly flat in the finale. Young slugger Josh Reddick, for instance, couldn't muster much of his patented fury when the ball refused his bidding, rookie Derek Norris forgot how to throw, block pitches and hit – after batting .440 down the season's stretch, and first baseman Brandon Moss swung mightily, but contacted only an occasional drizzle in the East Bay evening.
Conventional Wisdom (read: east coast sports authorities) had this team finishing last, then regressing to the mean, and finally fading in a brutal September schedule of mostly away games against the league's established powerhouse clubs. There was logic to those conclusions, and it beat staying up late. Instead, however, the A's began to stir from the script in late May, then succeed in June and dominate the league during July and August –- sweeping the Yankees and Red Sawx here -- even running the latter out-of-town with a 20-run outburst. September only confirmed their mettle, as they played the league's powers to a draw, and snatched the Division championship on the last day. They rose to each occasion, and celebrated every success.
But even celebrations burn energy. After one more improbable outburst on Wednesday evening, it turns out that the A's were done; tank empty, running on fumes, they lost 6-0. However, the season ended not with a whimper, but a standing-ovation as the sell-out crowd rained down its appreciation on their boys, even as the media attempted to interview the victors on the field. It was a spontaneous, and heart-felt, tribute that the players returned with an on-field gathering of hugs and tipped hats. Although the league's play-offs format put the A's at a significant disadvantage, I was gratified for the chance to drag my own hoarse, dog-tired self into one last cheer to punctuate the best A's season in my memory. Sometimes, winning the last game is beside the point.
Much of the credit for the A's' metamorphosis goes to GM Billy Beane, who assembled the crew according to a statistical alchemy that turns a leaden payroll golden. But this Season of Mojo had more to it than the numbers can explain. Gamely quantitative to the end, Billy said in an interview that winning breeds chemistry. As much as I respect the discipline of sabermetrics, baseball -- and the human experience -- sometimes demonstrates a metaphysical element that transcends rational characterization. Mojo is neither a one-shot deal, nor a one-way street. This was an iterative, self-reinforcing phenomenon that led these young men to perform together away past all reasonable expectations. It was a monument and a reminder of what people are capable-of when they truly devote themselves to a cause – whatever it is.
Such an affirmation of the human spirit leaves you hungry for more. Spring Training starts February 23rd.
And speaking of statistics, in advance of tomorrow's second presidential debate, let's take a look at how the bidding has changed in the last two weeks. Again, my source is 538.com, Nate Silver's poll of polls – your mileage may vary.
To review, each candidate has secure hold of many electoral college votes, Mr. Obama's count being 230; Mr. Romney's 207. Mr. Silver contemplates a 63% chance of an Obama win overall (down from a high of over 80%), and a popular vote margin of 50-49%, also narrowing from 52-47%. The battleground states, where ultimate victory hangs in the balance, remain as follows, with current projections:
Florida (29 votes): 66% chance of a Romney win (formerly 79% Obama)
Ohio (18): 67% chance of Obama win (formerly 63%)
North Carolina (15): 86% chance of a Romney win (formerly 67%)
Virginia (13): 52% chance of a Romney win (formerly 73% Obama)
Wisconsin (10): 77% chance of an Obama win (formerly 87%)
Iowa (6): 58% chance of an Obama win (formerly 74%)
Nevada (6): 61% chance of an Obama win (formerly 82%)
New Hampshire (4): 68% chance of an Obama win (formerly 77%).
If current projections hold, then Obama wins 274-264. That's mighty close, and those probabilities are tippable, either way, although the momentum is clearly with the GOP – attenuated somewhat after the VEEPs went at it last week. It's now a horse race.

This is no time to talk about baseball. Look how close those polls are. Your buddy Obama needs you.
You need to get out there and talk up all the good things Obama has done these past four years. Rack your brain if you have to. Need help? Ok, here's one: That Nobel Prize thingy. There. No other president has ever won that, right? So talk that up. I'm sure you can think of a few others.
And if you can't think of anything else, then start piling on Romney.
The president is counting on you. So get to work!

Been A's fan for over 30 years, and I enjoyed this season more than any, including 1989 world series win!! With no expectations, and the so-called experts saying we were going to lose 100 games, this team showed why baseball is a team sport, and truly is American's pasttime.
I was at the game 5 on Thursday, and watching the entire stadium stand and cheer this team, after losing, and then watching the team turn to the fans and cheer back, was one of purest and best moments I have ever witnessed in any sport!
I also think the A's can show politicians that it is not necessary to fix problems by throwing money at them, and assuming more money means a better product. A's had the second lowest payroll in major league baseball, and instead of throwing money at high profile players, they focused on team chemistry, incredible coaching and managering, and players putting the team before their own self ego. Johnie Gomes hit the winning homerun in the second to last game series against the Rangers, but then did not play a single inning in the playoffs and only got one at bat in the final game. Yet, instead of being a negative voice in the clubhouse, complaining, and putting his ego first, he was the loudest cheerleader and supporter of his younger teammates, and served as an incredible mentor to these young players.
If only Washington D.C. was run like the Oakland A's....
As to your political

Yeah, what a disaster that 47% comment was, right? If Romney had just said that people wouldn't vote for him because they cling to their guns and religion, then it all would've been forgotten by now.

BeeDoctor, a Versatile MLPA-Based Diagnostic Tool for Screening Bee Viruses
Most of the currently characterized honeybee viruses (around twenty) are positive stranded RNA viruses. Techniques based on RNA signatures are widely used to determine the viral load in honeybee colonies. A new multiparameter assay, called BeeDoctor, was developed based on multiplex-ligation probe dependent amplification (MLPA) technology. This assay detects 10 honeybee viruses in one reaction. The BeeDoctor assay was used to screen 363 apparently healthy colonies from randomly selected apiaries throughout Flanders. This survey showed that almost 80% of colonies are infected with at least one virus, and many with multiple infections, showing that virus infections in apiaries are quite common, even in the absence of clinical symptoms.

Term used to describe an unattractive, overweight, peevish female who wears her convertible cargo pants in the camel toe fashion on a daily basis. Combination of the words Pangaea and vagina usually in reference, though not exclusively, to a woman who wears her GPS on a belt clip even when she's just going to the supermarket.
While strolling along the edge of the Grand Canyon, she became alarmed as a team of mules, being confused by the sheer size of the crevasse between her legs, proceeded to descend into the depths of her pangina.
by bentheredonethat February 11, 2005
A pangina is created when the stitching of the crotch of any article of trousers/pants or shorts becomes undone to create a hole in the place of which, on a woman, the vagina would be. It derives from a combination of "pants" and "vagina".
Whilst warming up for the 100m hurdles, I heard a large rip in my pants. When I looked down to investigate, I was shocked to behold that I now have a pangina.

As a parent, you play an idol role in helping teenagers make career choices. Selection of right career path should get started from the childhood. This is not a nice idea to impose your career choices on your teenager but you should help your child as a primary counselor. Many children state that they have decided their career in childhood. Parents play a very important role in this decision.
The conversation that is made by parents with their children is also valuable. Make your aware about all possible opportunities after school and college time period. Also explain him the benefits of each opportunity. Now your child can also decide the best career choice for him according to his interest. Parents just have to find a initial point for their children.
