Heritage Christian students return to school after a year away
BOZEMAN, Mont. - After an arsonist burned part of Heritage Christian a little more than a year ago, the school moved into a building one-third the size of its normal facility for the entire school year. Now students, faculty and staff tell NBC Montana they're excited to be back in their old building with a couple of new improvements.
Students file into administrator and teacher Gerry Goede's classroom. He's put blue tape on the floor to signify the size of his classroom last year at Montana Bible College.
"It was a lot smaller last year with the classrooms but I think it really knitted us together," says 10th grader Gabe Jackson.
"...And this year it was like walking through a big open space," explains classmate Jordan Nuss.
Down the hallway, we stopped into a 7th grade classroom, where students like Rachel Simpson were practicing their new lock combinations.
When she walked through the doors this morning, Simpson said she felt, "A mixture of being a little bit nervous but excited because I didn't know what it would be like. It's like a new experience for me."
Part of that new experience is the school's recently-completed gym. Goede showed us its improvements and what it took to get there.
Classrooms behind the gym were downsized to make room for increased seating -- from 300 to 700 -- and an extra court. Goede explains the stage is also larger and while students used to eat there, in their classrooms and in a section of the gym, there's now an extra 2,000 square feet they'll use as a lunchroom.
Goede says it was challenging. "Because the gymnasium was a separate building and the other classrooms were built around it, we had to basically deconstruct the gymnasium and pull it all out with cranes and then rebuild the inside of the building."
But with those challenges came strength.
"There were a lot of tears and emotions last year as people saw the flames coming out at night and then when we walked through and saw the sky coming through the ceiling because it had burned through the ceiling in places and, yet, the people had a peace that God was in control of it. He knew that he could use this for something good," says Goede.
While parents say it was hard to be away, they say they're excited for what feels like a fresh start.
"It's like coming back home, it really is," says parent Annique Fenalson.
Goede tells us the reconstruction process took about six months and around $3 million to complete. Insurance covered most of the costs but they held fundraisers last year to cover extra expenses for code upgrades, like a new sprinkler system.

Driving my way around Iceland
Just got back from a 12 day trip to Iceland. It's been on our travel list for a long time, and we finally got to do it. (And, for those that have never thought of going to Iceland... it's only 5 hours from the US Northeast!)
It was 12 days: 3 total in Reykjavik, and the rest spent circumnavigating the country (primarily on the Ring Road, although we took a lot of diversions). 2600 km worth of driving.
And I've noticed that Icelandic cuisine doesn't get a lot of love from the world (oh, the jokes I heard about hakarl and Brennivin before I went). But there are two things that make Icelandic cuisine phenomenal: Icelandic lamb, and fresh fish.
So, as I continue to upload photos to my
flickr set
, I figured I'd start giving a log of some of my most memorable meals.
First up was
Grái Kötturinn
, a small breakfast place in downtown Reykjavik.
We took the red eye to Keyflavik (it's hard not to, actually), which had us arriving all bleary-eyed at a time which was either 3:30 or 7:30, depending on which clock you are looking at. Attempting to get on local time, we wandering into downtown Reykjavik to find some coffee and breakfast, looking for a nice, solid breakfast to get us going.
We ended up finding a couple of good options (Prikið, in particular, looks like a place I need to check out on another visit), but we ended up finding exactly what we needed at the Grái Kötturinn: a nice, solid "eggs and bacon" breakfast:
Not really icelandic, but this American-style eggs and bacon breakfast hit the spot. The eggs were nicely cooked sunny-side up. The bacon was flavorful and fully cooked without being burnt. The potatoes were nicely seared up as well, and this combo made for the good-but-greasy sustenance that really helps me recover from a long flight.
However, the high point in this breakfast was the giant inch-thick slab of toast with Icelandic butter on it. It's not just marketing, Icelandic cultured butter really is a lot more flavorful than your typical generic US butter pat, and it was something I enjoyed throughout my visit in Iceland.

Breaking down the contract status of the Patriots' rookies
|05.21.12 at 1:16 pm ET
Here's a look at which of the Patriots' rookies have signed:
First round
Chandler Jones: Unsigned. The former Syracuse defensive end, taken 21st overall, is repped by the agency of Lock, Metz, Malinovic and Joe Panos. Panos is a former offensive lineman who some Patriots fans might remember as being in training camp in 2001 for a few days before ultimately deciding to retire.
Dont'a Hightower: Unsigned. The Alabama linebacker, taken with the 25th overall pick, is represented by Pat Dye, Jr., of SportsTrust Advisors.
Second round
Tavon Wilson: The defensive back out of Illinois agreed to a four-year, $4.217 million contract that includes a $1.507 million signing bonus, according to Aaron Wilson of Scout.com. Wilson reports that the first two years of the deal, $390,000 and $581,722, are fully guaranteed, while the last two years, $773,444 and $965,166, aren't fully guaranteed.
Third round
Jake Bequette: Unsigned. The defensive lineman out of Arkansas is represented by Athletes First, a group that had 13 clients taken in the NFL draft, including four in the first round. Athletes First is an extremely well-known agency around New England, as they represent several current Patriots, including Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, Nate Solder, Shane Vereen, Zoltan Mesko, Ryan Mallett and Brian Waters.
Sixth round
Nate Ebner: Unsigned.
Seventh round
Alfonzo Dennard: Dennard signed a four-year, $2.157 million contract that includes $57,848 signing bonus, according to a league source. The former Nebraska cornerback will have base salaries of $390,000, $480,000, $570,000 and $660,000.
Jeremy Ebert: The wide receiver out of Northwestern signed a four-year contract worth a total of $2.148 million, according to Wilson.

Twitter Hit With Second Worm In a Week 97
adeelarshad82 writes "Days after a site update unleashed a Twitter cross-site scripting attack, the micro-blogging site was again hit with a bug that spread via questionable links. The offending messages appeared on a user's Twitter feed with 'WTF:' followed by a link. If you clicked on that link, you were taken to a blank page, but behind the scenes, the worm would post vulgar messages on your account that discussed, well, sex involving goats."

Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Persechini indicated he has no financial relationships to disclose relevant to the content of this CME activity.
Disturbances in cell signaling are associated with many clinical disorders, including cancer, Altzheimer's, arthritis, chronic pain syndrome, cardiac arrythmias and hypertension. Ca2+ ion is a universal intracellular signaling molecule, and the Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin plays a central role in converting Ca2+ signals into the biochemical changes needed to produce the desired cellular response. Our work is focused on both the cell biology and biochemistry of this process. An ongoing interest is in defining the thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms that govern the interactions between calmodulin and its many protein targets. More recently we have begun investigations of calmodulin function using genetically-encoded fluorescent indicator proteins developed in our laboratory. These tools allow us to follow calmodulin-dependent signaling using imaging techniques, with the ultimate goal of developing a mechanistic understanding of how calmodulin controls and coordinates the activities of its many targets in living cells.

Source: Bruins trade Blake Wheeler, Mark Stuart for Rich Peverley, Boris Valabik
|02.18.11 at 1:30 pm ET
According to a source, the Bruins have swung a deal with the Thrashers that will send forward Blake Wheeler and defenseman Mark Stuart to Atlanta in exchange for center Rich Peverley and defenseman Boris Valabik. TSN's Bob McKenzie was the first to report the deal.
Peverley, 28, has another year remaining on his contract that carries a cap hit of $1.325. He has 14 goals and 20 assists this season for 34 points. Wheeler has 11 goals and 16 assists on the season for 27 points. He will be a restricted free agent at season's end.
Stuart, set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, has one goal and four assists for five points in 31 games. He missed time this season due to a fractured and dislocated finger and was relegated to being a healthy scratch upon his return. Valabik, a 6-foot-7, 255 pound blueliner, was the 10th overall pick of the 2004 NHL draft.
[UPDATE: 2:33 p.m.] The Bruins have confirmed the deal.

Shipping charges are ridiculous. I haven't bid on many items after someone bid just $1 because the common $11.95 shipping charges exceed the retail value of the item. I recommend searching the web for any item you're interested in because you may very well find it cheaper elsewhere and sometimes, even with free shipping.
I just purchased 2 items from propertyroom.com. I had never purchased from them before. I investigated both items thoroughly before bidding to insure I knew what my top bid price would be.
1) Don't buy coins or other precious metals from property room if you're looking for a deal. Precious metals are worth what they're worth. No one can offer you a discount. If gold is selling at $1800/troy ounce, then you will not find it cheaper anywhere. Remember, 1 Troy Ounce = 31 grams. Retailers often refer to weight in grams because it sounds like you're getting more than you actually are.
2) Shipping charges are -bloated-. Beware. I almost bought a single pedometer for $1 + $11.95 shipping. $13 still seemed cheap until I found it on the Internet - 5 in a pack for $4.99 + $3 shipping.
Property room can only rip people off who don't know what they're buying. Unfortunately, they aren't looking out for you. That you must do for yourself.
