Bush, Thomas provide leadership for Gulf
NEW PORT RICHEY - Tom Carter spent his first season as Gulf High football coach searching for players. He entered this one searching for leaders. Carter admitted his search is over. Despite their differing styles, Dustin Bush and Travis Thomas spent much of the offseason asserting themselves as two of the Buccaneers' unquestioned leaders. What's more, they've made it clear they're ready to leave behind a disappointing 2011 season. "Dustin's vocal and Travis leads by example, but it's clear the rest of the team gravitates to them," Carter said. "They're pushing guys to get in the weight room and talking to guys that aren't stepping it up."They're both just football players. They strap it up and are ready to go every day." Bush and Thomas will play significant minutes both ways this season, the former on the offensive and defensive lines, the latter at running back and linebacker. Both believe they're ready for the challenge. "I like the fact that I'm playing both ways," Thomas said. "It allows me to have more of an impact on the game. Coach expects a lot out of me and I expect a lot out of myself." For Bush, the move from guard to center signifies just how important the coaching staff believes his role will be. Anchoring a line that returns four starters and entered camp already, "knowing 80-percent of the offense," the senior will be allowed to make blocking calls and hopes to pave the way for a surprising amount of talented playmakers in the Gulf backfield. "We expect things to be much smoother this year," Bush said. "Last year was tough, but once summer came, we had so many kids in the weight room and then so many kids at the first practice. That's the kind of stuff that gets your confidence up right away and lets us know we can be a much better team this year."

The same is true for the MG program in Tennessee. I think it will be a good
thing for the groups to have similar requirements. We currently are required
to give 10 hours of volunteer service and attend 12 hours of education yearly
while MG's in an adjoining county must give 50 hours of volunteer service. I
know our board is currently revamping what will and will not count as
volunteer service next year. I predict interesting times are ahead. <LOL>

AUD/USD: bulls remain hesitant
Daily. AUD/USD fixed below the Ichimoku cloud last week.Bulls have gently tested the resistance, created by the lower boundary of the cloud and are no longer trying to reverse the market to the upside. The pair lsipped to 0.7170 by the end of the week. However, strong support is clustered at these levels.
Note that the market is strongly oversold. This could make the pair retrace into the Tenkan-Kijun channel.
Chart. Daily AUDUSD
H4. The downtrend is also clearly seen on the 4-hour chart. After a test of the lower band of the Cloud, Tenkan and Kijun lines formed another bearish cross, while the Cloud extened the range to the downside..
The market is now trading inside the Tenkan-Kijun range. A breakout higher or lower will set further direction to trade.

Insult of the week
Lizzie Cundy's nickname for Lembit Opik: "Armpit" (Celebrity Coach Trip)
Come again? "I like the new Ian. I ain't laughed so much in ages" - Kat on Ian Beale (EastEnders). As Alfie said: "What are you on about!?"
Gag of the week "According to BBC News, 'Liam Fox once abseiled down a 25-storey tower for charity.' Either that or his wife had just come home early" - Jo Brand (Have I Got News For You)
Gourmet of the week "That's the problem with eating whale - the bones. It's not like eating a chicken" - Karl Pilkington (An Idiot Abroad)
TV is not edukashiunal "Why do pipits bob like that?" "I'm glad you asked me that 'cos it's very, very easy to answer it. I don't know. And apparently nor does anyone else" - Chris Packham to Michaela Strachan (Autumnwatch)
Tell it like is Lee Nelson: "My man over here, how did you give up smoking?" Audience member: "I had a heart attack" (Lee Nelson's Well Good Show)
"Do I get any clues?"- Spencer from Made In Chelsea on Never Mind The Buzzcocks during the Name That Tune round, where teammates perform musical intros as, well, clues
Father of the week Mum Frankie Heck: "I feel like with Axl if I DON'T push him, nothing gets done and he fails. And if I do push him, he freaks out and fails. What are we supposed to do?!" Dad Mike: "Maybe we should just write him off and let him be a cautionary tale to the other two" (The Middle)
Ask a stupid question "You and Mick, did it happen naturally?" - Gemma to Maria. Yeah, 'cos everything's natural on TOWIE
Political correctness gone mad "All these rules! Eskimos have to be Inuits. Midgets have to be 'dwarves'! Leprechauns prefer to called... gnomes" - Karl Pilkington (An Idiot Abroad)
Nice timing of the week "The real reason Christian and I are having this party is we're getting married" - Syed, exactly as his estranged wife Amira walks in after months out of the series. What are the odds eh? In EastEnders, quite high
Intro of the week "If you're like me, you probably know something or nothing about Greece" - Joanna Lumley (Joanna Lumley's Greek Odyssey). That pretty much covers it

My parents spent annual holidays at Taberners boarding House in Albert Road, Blackpool Central, when they were young children, and upon hearing of their eventual courtship and engagement many years later, the then owners vowed to postpone the sale of the boarding house until they were to marry and have their honeymoon there in 1948. Later on the boarding house was sold on to a family by the name of Hill. Of course my parents continued to use the boarding house as their holiday venue and thus my elder sister and I now enjoyed yearly holidays there. My earliest memory would be in 1959 walking along Central Pier, at a point where your photo was taken as you walked by, and could be purchased. We always bought them as we didn't have our own camera back then. My fondest memories are of the 'Muffin the Mule' rides which were dotted along the golden mile, also 'Donkey rides on the sands' at 6d a time (old money). Then if the weather wasn't good..we'd go into the Olympia where there were coin operated machines to win toys and upstairs (as I remember it) were some 'noddy' cars that you could drive round in on quite a long track. The new Owner's at the Boarding House took us to their hearts and nothing was too much trouble. They would 'babysit' my sister and I while mum and dad went out dancing in the Tower Ballroom and we were granted freedom of the house and would even go to the local grocery shop for them if they were short of something. We'd sit happily on the carpet in the private living quarters with their daughters record player, and at four years old my favourite song was 'Little White Bull' by Tommy Steel. The highlight of every morning was who (between my sister and I) could get dressed first, to go down and hit the huge brass gong they had at the bottom of the stairs to summons everyone to breakfast; my sister being older usually got down first, but the family were aware of this and made sure things were done fairly. The Dining Room tables with their 'snowy white' tablecloths (which were beautifully set out) and looked very inviting, each had glass dishes in which were 'butter curls'. Using a special tool, carefully drawn across butter that had been chilled, produced attractively 'curled' single portions for your morning toast. Then once our meal had settled, we'd head off to Pablo's ice cream parlour for a double scoop of Cornish ice cream with all the trimmings. Hm, I can taste it now. I'm sure those of my era will remember (I think it was a shoe shop) and outside on a chair was sat the biggest Teddy bear ever, it must have been six foot tall and on it's knee was a smaller one. We'd usually see this when I'd be taken by dad to a local joke shop to buy something to scare everyone with. I have a favourite family photo of myself at two years sat on the steps of Hills Boarding House and about three years ago went back in the hope of re-kindling the memories, I found that it has changed 'so' much and had been knocked through to the place next door to make it much bigger. I filled the present owner in on my happy memories there and he told me they still had the gong, but I couldn't see it as it was in storage and he didn't plan on using it, I thought that was such a shame. I showed him the photo of me on their steps, they had been replaced with modern wooden ones, but the Grey/black and white speckled marble flooring around them was still the same. I had an after photo taken whilst trying so sit in the same spot or thereabouts. Back in 1982 my sister was now married with five children. We rented a van as there was 10 of us and we all went to see the lights and during the day we walked from the Tower all the way down to the Pleasure beach, stopping off to give each of the kids 'One' ride on the donkeys..it cost £2:50..This same amount would have furnished my sister and I as children 25 rides 'each'. We treated the kids also to the 'Fun house' experience they loved the big slide..I would never go on it as a child..and well I couldn't pass up the opportunity at age 30 to do it 'once' in my life, there was a man at the top whose job it was to make sure people didn't congregate and cause a blockage. I felt a sudden shove from him and was at the bottom before I could shout "Go..Back for My Stomach"!! We headed off to see the lights now that it was dark outside..they were amazing. Many of the old trams were decked out as rockets and boats etc, festooned with lights - we all had a really good time. I truly wish it was like that now with all the rides along the golden mile as I remember it.. Punch and Judy on the beach and Dad's favourite cockle stalls, candy floss and toffee apples, but we have to make way for progress..shame that!

As the economic outlook darkens, the challenges facing the voluntary sector have never been greater. The impact that faltering global markets will have on UK charities will become one of the key issues to dominate the sector in the months and years to come.
This supplement touches on the economic and logistical challenges facing large charities and small community groups working at the coalface of social change in the UK. At a time when the work of charities has never been so crucial, the futures of many hang in the balance as a squeeze on funding continues.
We examine whether charities are taking advantage of the rise of venture philanthropy and the new breed of hugely wealthy givers. We also analyse the issue of commissioning, considered by some to be the sector's greatest opportunity and others its biggest threat. With the voluntary sector growing in size and number, the number of new volunteers is falling for the first time since 2001. Is the word "volunteer" to blame?
Vivienne Hayes, chief executive of the Women's Resource Centre, spells out the need for organisation in the face of adversity and we hear from recruitment specialists who believe the credit crunch will actually help the sector get the personnel it needs to weather the storm ahead.

Stone Paper Market Is Expected To Witness Significant Growth Owing To Increased Demand From Application Segments As Packaging Till 2024
The global stone paper industry is expected to reach USD 22.88 billion by 2024 owing to the rising demand from key application segments, such as packaging, labeling, and self-adhesive paper. The growing application scope of the product in the aforementioned segments is attributed to the minimal environmental impacts, with regards to usage of water and energy, carbon emissions, and deforestation.
Packaging is the major application segment for the product, globally. The other key applications include labeling and self-adhesive paper. With the rapid growth in industries such as packaging, education, corporate and government firms, among others, there has been a considerable increase in demand for labeling and self-adhesive paper for labeling applications. These applications are integral to aesthetics enhancement, archiving, documentation, and several other processes in the aforementioned end-user segments.

Further key findings from the report suggest
- Globally, packaging and self-adhesive paper segments are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, growing at CAGRs of over 4% during the forecast period; this rapid growth can be attributed to rapidly growing demand for eco-friendly packaging and labeling solutions for various products, driven by rising consumer awareness regarding deforestation and use of plastics, globally.
- Asia Pacific dominated the industry in 2015 with an estimated revenue of over USD 7 billion; this regional market is projected to grow significantly over the coming years owing to growing middle-class population, increasing disposably incomes, and rising consumer awareness regarding the negative impacts of pulp-based paper manufacture and the use of plastics.
- In the Asia Pacific region, the packaging segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% in terms of volume. Rising consumer awareness regarding the benefits of the product over its counterparts coupled with low environmental impact is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.

China was one of the largest producer and consumer of the product in 2015.

7. When rules were set in stone
During season two of Survivor, a new rule was used in the event of a tie. First, if two castaways were tied, there would be a revote. If two contestants were still locked in a tie, votes cast against players from previous Tribal Councils would be counted. Whichever castaway had more votes would then be eliminated.

I recently recieved my cw permit and have found that my SA XD9mm is just a little too big to effectively conceal. I currently have the XD in a raven concealment holster with an insight X2L on the rail which does it's job, but because I have an athletic build, I print no matter what I wear. I'm looking for something in a 40acp and was leaning towards a glock 27. My price range is around 4 to 500, and any suggestions from past experience about other calibers or pistols would be greatly appreciated? Thanks for the help.

Welcome Chris, I'm sure there will be quite a few suggestions coming forth. My EDC is the M&P40c, I only know it works real well for me. You'll have to go try one out on the range to see how it feels and shoots for you. Cling-On!
P. S. very easy to conceal & not too much $$.
I say go for the G27! If you don't go for the G26...the G27 then! Love mine...love mine more every time I shoot it! Carry it alot. If you're looking for a deal, I know somebody here that has one for sale at a good price!
I have a Kahr CW9. It's single stack and would be easy to conceal. Of course mine is a 9 mm . You may want to go up to a .40 which I think they have with the same design and it should be in the price range you mentioned.
You can't fix stupid. Ron White
^ I'll 2nd the above. Might want to look at a single stack if you're having a hard to time concealing now.
Kahr has several versions in .40 (polymer, steel, etc...). I just have the CW9 but I have had zero issues with it.
Of everything mentioned, I'd pick the Glock-26 overall for stealth and dependability...that's my vote!

Why not just a subcompact xd? Or the Glock, Smith Wesson M&P, any of the Kahr's or the Sig 239.
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
I was thinking an xd subcompact but I wanted to explore a little and see what was out there. I'm extremely happy with the xd, which I purchased for work, but I'm new to the conceal carry side of the house. Thanks for the reply!
Welcome aboard Chris!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
I think that the Walther PPS would fit your bill. It is available in .40 S&W. It is just above your price range however at around $550.

Highly Effective
My husband has suffered from depression for 25 years and the 5-HTP has been the only thing to make any impact. For the first time in years he is smiling and occaisionally able to do things he hasn't done in years. He takes it at a low dosage and it still accomplishes much good for him. I have been suffering from depression with an escalation in the last year to dangereous levels. 5-HTP has had a significant impact. It keeps the despair at bay so that I can still go to work and maintain some level of function. I will be increasing my dose to also address migraine headaches, and/or use when hit with a migraine and hope that it will prove as effective with that dysfunction as well. I highly recommend reading the research on this product. It has provided me the ability to continue on without longing for death every day. I am capable of acting, and thinking, and feeling, beyond the depression and despair which were becoming unmanageable and completely overwhelming prior to taking the 5-HTP. I now buy at a higher quantity for myself. Highly recommend.
Great value

I think this product is not suitable for me. Heartbeat becomes fast and I feel quite unwell.. And it affect my sleep alot. Been having broken sleep after taking this.. And can't sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. I will stop for a moment before introducing it back to my body.

I bought this product to improve my mood since I have felt depressive for longer period of time. I was using one pill every evening. Initially I felt stomach discomfort, sick like behavior after first pill however these symptoms died out after a few more pills. However, I could not say this product improve my mood, it rather helped me to fall asleep and have perhaps better quality of my sleep. Since you may feel dizzy after taken it, I am not sure whether I would take it during the day time. Also, I would recommend to read label information and more about the 5HTP since it has other undesirable side effects which I believe are not worthed

Twenty one pilots; Margaret Cho; Neko Case; Indigo Girls; Leo Kottke with Loudon Wainwright III and more
8 p.m. Friday, Riverside Theater, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave. $35 at the box office, (414) 286-3663 and pabsttheater.org.
Neko Case's latest album title is a mouthful: "The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You." But the title doesn't seem to apply to Case's career; things are getting better, not worse. That applies to the creative nature of the alternative country artist's sixth solo album, not just her popularity. The album's lead single, "Man," has Case proclaiming she's a member of the opposite gender. Informed by the sort of peppy pop-rock beat Case cut her teeth on with Canadian supergroup the New Pornographers, the song prompts thought on gender roles. "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu" is a sympathetic, haunting, instrument-free ballad to a child she witnessed being verbally abused.
Show up early for the opening act. Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, fronted by San Francisco artist Thao Nguyen, released one of the year's quirkiest listens, "We the Common,"an album with see-saw strings, Dixieland horns, xylophone and guitars drowning in reverb.

LEO KOTTKE and LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III
8 p.m. Friday, South Milwaukee PAC, 901 15th Ave., South Milwaukee. $35 and $45 at the box office, (800) 745-3000 and ticketmaster.com.
Leo Kottke and Loudon Wainwright III don't necessarily qualify as "misfits," but both of them emerged into the 1970s as performers whose supposed genres hung on them like borrowed suits. And both have tailored their own careers in the years since.
Kottke was tagged as one of those sensitive folksinger types early on, but he preferred to be known as an innovative guitarist. As the decades passed, he developed a more classical style to compensate for pain in his hands and fingers, and while he's lately not been a prolific recording artist, as an intuitive and intelligent player, he has few peers onstage.
Wainwright was also a folkie, yet his streak of humor sat and still sits uneasily with his unvarnished, autobiographical side, and his "topical" songs have early expiration dates. However, he appreciates lasting things, too, as documented on 2009's "High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project"; his own legacy rests with fans who can enjoy the frivolity while waiting for the seriousness.

8 p.m. Sunday, Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St. $10 at the Pabst and Riverside box offices, (414) 286-3663 and pabsttheater.org.
Harper Lee has the timeless American classic "To Kill a Mockingbird," a Pulitzer Prize and a Presidential Medal of Freedom to her name. What the 87-year-old author didn't have, though, was a song — until the Irish folk rock group Little Green Cars released the harmony-heavy "Harper Lee" on this year's "Absolute Zero."
For their debut album, Green Cars collaborated with producer Markus Dravs, whose résumé includes cinematic albums from fellow sing-and-strummers Mumford & Sons as well as Arcade Fire. It's Green Cars' blatant attempt to follow the highway taken by Mumford, the Lumineers and other folk-rock revival acts to big venue-headliner status. But what might get the Cars there isn't the lush nature of their songs, but their subtletly. The band's Lollapalooza set in Chicago in August kicked off with some surprisingly sparse, fragile songs such as "Goodbye Blue Monday," a big risk from a relatively unknown act at such a big festival that was rewarded with respectful silence.
Foy Vance, another Irish artist inspired by American music, opens.
— Piet Levy, email@example.com
8 p.m. Sunday, Pabst Theater, 144 E. Wells St. $29.50.
Sometimes, if you want to educate others and speak up for the voiceless, it helps to be sexually explicit and drop a lot of swear words. At least, that's the lesson that can be taken from Margaret Cho's career.
The Korean-American comedian had her first major mainstream exposure, and controversy, with her short-lived ABC sitcom "All-American Girl" in 1994. The network asked her to tone things down, and Cho developed an eating disorder from the scrutiny, to the point that she suffered kidney failure. From that episode she learned her lesson: It was important to be herself. So while she technically played by broadcast standards with roles on "Drop Dead Diva" and "30 Rock" (where she was unrecognizable, and hysterical, as Kim Jong Il), she still wore a rainbow-colored dress to express her support for bullied LGBT teenagers on the typically edge-free "Dancing with the Stars." The LGBT community is also celebrated in her frank stand-up (Cho is bisexual), and as a result, she has been honored by such organizations as GLAAD and the ACLU.
Her Pabst Theater performance is part of her tour behind her latest show, "Mother," which Cho insists may be her edgiest yet, concerning her thoughts on sex, race and drugs.

7:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Rave, 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave. $19 at the box office, (414) 342-7283 and therave.com.
Twenty One Pilots have been jetting all over the country this year, but within a 12-month span they have played Milwaukee so many times — four, including Tuesday — they could almost be considered a local band. Consisting of high school friends Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, the Columbus, Ohio, duo saw its regional following reach great heights, thanks to its fresh blend of hip-hop, electronic music and pop. As a result, it landed a record deal with Fueled by Ramen (home of fun. and Fall Out Boy), and Adele producer Greg Wells for the album "Vessel," released in January.
Opener Robert DeLong has also made next-big-thing lists with his novel, genre-splicing sound: a mix of Death Cab for Cutie-style existential indie rock with twitchy electronic dance music. His shows are also standouts: He performs everything by himself, jumping around between keyboards, drums and laptops, and using Wii video game controllers to generate sound. The night's first opener, female rapper Sirah, also embraces EDM in her sound.
— Piet Levy
7:30 p.m. Thursday, Milwaukee Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave. $34.35 to $95 at the box office and through Ticketmaster.
When Jimmy Durante said he'd never want to be institutionalized, he was talking about marriage, but he could have applied the joke to the idea of becoming a "respectable" member of society. Indigo Girls — the punkish Amy Ray and the more genteel Emily Saliers — might feel the same way about this gig with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
Athough there's always been spikiness to the Girls' work since their first album in 1987, they also come to the symphony stage with a history of longevity and artistic regularity.
There's just one hit, the supremely old-fashioned "Closer to Fine," to their name, but Indigo Girls have earned a sizable audience for melodic quality control and verse-chorus consistency up through 2011's "Beauty Queen Sister." It should be interesting to hear how they adapt to the MSO, and how the MSO adapts to them.

8 p.m. Thursday, Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St. $24.50 day of show; $20 in advance at the Pabst and Riverside Theater box offices, (414) 286-3663 and pabsttheater.org.
Dubstep might be the red-headed stepchild of electronic-dance-music subgenres, but it's accessible, popular and, therefore, not unprofitable. That makes it a good place for an enterprising DJ and producer to make a name for himself.
And that's what Shaun Brockhurst, a.k.a. Doctor P, is gradually and steadily doing. Born in England, this particular non-M.D. first became somewhat known in the related EDM subgenre of drum and bass under various other aliases and collaborations, including Sounds Destructive and Slum Dogz.
Doc P (he claims the P stands for "Picto," a nickname bestowed upon him by pals), has released most of his work thus far as singles and remixes, and his latest hot track, "The Pit," features the Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man. Doctor P is making dubstep work for him.
Deletah, Foil and MCZ are also on the bill.
— Jon M. Gilbertson
9:30 p.m. Thursday, Cactus Club, 2496 S. Wentworth Ave. $15 day of show, $13 in advance at cactusclub.tickets.musictoday.com.
Should rock 'n' roll ever need to justify itself before an artistic supreme court, a good defense lawyer will cite the outstanding power of a rock band throwing down, going for broke, kicking down the barriers and blowing speakers.
And the defense could enter the catalog of Melt-Banana into evidence and relax a bit, for this Tokyo band — and its core duo of singer Yasuko O. (Onuki) and guitarist (Ichirou) Agata — brings the noise, brings the speed and (most important) brings the reckless fun.
Melt-Banana has been cranking stuff out and cranking the volume up since around 1994, but the 2011 Tohoki earthquake and subsequent meltdown disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant set back recording of the latest album. Fortunately, that disc, this year's "Fetch," is an intense rush of sugar and amplification that any wise quorum of judges would find worthy of a righteous ruling.
Brain Tentacles, Zebras and Lifes will set up the headliner.

Hours? I have yet to receive any sort of response from any recruiter or any job-related functionary. Realizing that I have been cheated, I started contacting Resume Bouncer. They have ignored all communications from me, and refuse to respond at all.
I have contacted Resume Bouncer repeatedly at email@example.com, which is the only listed contact point. The two receipt e-mails came from firstname.lastname@example.com, but they refuse to respond either.

Every location has a story. Let's connect them online
Where there is a place, there is a story. In cities public places have a story of coexistence and connection.
I've long been hooked on connecting location information online with images, links and info. For years I have been using location apps such as Foursquare Swarm and Yelp to check into places, leaving a photo and an account. I've recently been inpsired by Jane's Walks about neighbourhoods, the city building hash tag #2forTO, and an app I tried in San Francisco. The Detour App took things to a new level by offering audio/visual location tours that direct one to places not even imagined.
As a personal project, I created profile accounts in social media of a few local places in a consistent fashion. Profiles are different from a daily stream of events you typically find in social media. A profile offers basic info, a quick glimpse of what the topic is, and then links to more information on the web.
Below are the accounts I set up for people online to connect about a location while passing through. They are a spot for myself and others to put topical tips and media. For now they are simply profiles with a link to Wikipedia so one may learn more. I'm reaching out to others to profile here as well such as @StClairWestTO.
I wish the city would own these digital footprints so we could all move through our digital space more easily. By that I mean, common names would be registered and link to further resources. I rather the account names be ones about a location and not a dormant user account that has nothing to do with the location such as @CollegeStTO and @BloorSt on Twitter.
Creating social streams
Social streams are another way to quickly share your personality online. For me it helps fill a space in my site left by my posting elsewhere. For you the reader it may feel like rummaging through my memories looking at disconnected thoughts. But then that's what using the Internet is often like. My social stream is back with Rebelmouse after trying others.

By Pat Graham, AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS Believe half of what javelin thrower Breaux Greer has to say. Maybe even less.
At a press conference Wednesday for the U.S. track and field championships, Greer revealed he had a cheetah's ligament recently implanted in his left knee, threw a 98 mph fastball in high school, wants to run the 1,500-meter run at this week's event and that if a thrower hasn't had some kind of surgery, they're not trying hard enough.
All that after being warned to tone down his comments.
"That's just not me," Greer said of holding his tongue. "I usually go off and say whatever comes to mind."
Beneath the goofiness, though, is a highly competitive person. He set the American record with a throw of 297 feet, 7 inches at the Adidas Track Classic in Carson, Calif., in May. He's also won seven consecutive U.S. championships.
Greer, 30, may be best remembered for competing at the 2004 Olympic Games in Greece with a torn ACL. Doctors warned him not to try it, but he didn't heed their warnings. Greer had the top throw in qualifying (286-3), but his leg buckled on his first throw in the finals and he was done, finishing 12th. Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway won the competition with a throw of 283-9. He would've won had his qualifying throw counted.
But enough of the numbers. They bore Greer.
"Somebody asks you how track's going, don't spit off times," he said. "Tell them how you're doing in life. Be yourself."
Being Greer means being a little different. He showed up Wednesday with spiked, tinted hair and wearing a lime green shirt. He sipped coffee as hurdler Kerron Clement and sprinters Allyson Felix and Lauryn Williams sat next to him.
"Do you realize how amazing these people are?" Greer said as he glanced their way. "They're leading the world. Why am I here?"
Because no one else in the world is close to him in the javelin. Greer has the longest throw this season, more than 6 feet farther than Finland's Tero Pitkamaki's top mark (291-3).
Even more, Greer's healthy again, at least relatively. He had ACL surgery on his left knee eight months ago and it's feeling better. He thinks it's about his 11th operation in his career.
"It would be nice to have one year without surgery," said Greer, who completed the 1998-99 with a torn ligament in his shoulder. "But go find me a javelin thrower who hasn't had surgery and odds are they suck. They're not throwing hard enough to injure themselves."
Greer's latest ACL surgery is different, though. He's now part animal.
"Killed a cheetah, took a ligament out of the cat and it's working so far. That's no joke, either," he said with a devilish grin. "I'm going to try the 1,500."
But with a ligament from a cheetah, shouldn't he be a sprinter?
"You'd think so, but, again, I'm a little different," he said. "I've got all this fast twitch in me, but I'm going to run the 1,500. I'm good for the first 40 meters. After that, it's a problem."
Joking aside, he's going to stick with his bread and butter -- the javelin -- this week. There's no reason to deviate.
Last year at U.S. championships, he threw 280-2 on his first attempt and sat back the rest of the meet and watched. The throw held up.
He's planning the same approach Thursday night in the finals.
"I'm looking to pop one over 85 (meters)," he said. "If it goes over 90, fine. I'll probably just sit on it, take my shoes off and relax."
Greer loves the cameras. The more that show up, the better the performance. Then again, he's an aspiring actor.
"I feel more comfortable in front of a camera than I do walking around (in front of a crowd)," said Greer, who had major league scouts interested in him out of high school because of his arm, but elected to stay with track and went to school at Northeast Louisiana. "If there's a message that comes along with me -- hopefully, no one follows my lead; I'm not necessarily the greatest role model -- it's that you can be an individual. You can talk your mind. You don't have to be a robot like everyone else." He's far from being like everyone else.
"A lot of people take it (track) too serious," he said. "Dude, I throw a stick. Come on. I get paid a pretty good salary to throw a stick. ... Track has led me to meet a million different people and given me tons of opportunity. I'm not stuck in a cubicle. I'm not in jail. I'm my own boss."
Meaning, no one can put the reins on his mouth.
"I'm going to say what I want to say," Greer said. "It goes back to the authority problem I had (as a kid)."

Bored avid reader of fanfiction; so much it should be a title. Sometimes I write when I'm not being perpetually bored or anal retentive about my grammar. So on the off chance that I'll start writing again, bear in mind it's been a long time, it'll probably be one of the fandoms below. I will also work as a beta if someone needs one really needs one, if you need one just message me, but please know I have to write to decline if it's utter shit, and I will tell you if it's utter shit if you really want me too.

My eyelid is having an extra line above it. Are there any medicines which can help before it gets worse? (photos)
Doctor Answers 1
Natural asymmetry
So the first thing to remember is that none of us are perfectly symmetric. That is true for faces and eyes and everywhere. So the difference between your eyelids, while it is bothersome to you, is well within the range of normal anatomy.
From what I can tell in your picture, you seem to have slightly more upper eyelid fat on the right than on the left. That gives your right upper lid a fuller, smoother look than your left. It also means the skin on your left upper lid is slightly looser, and prone to have an extra wrinkle. This will change with any puffiness that happens in the fat around the eye (typically after we lay flat at night the eye area will swell slightly, and it also will change with fatigue, seasonal allergies, crying, and lots of other things). so it makes sens that when your eye is a little puffier, it will look fuller and the crease will go away.
As for creams, there are lots of eye creams that aim to decrease puffiness, but I can't think of any that are to increase it. You have a young and beautiful face - and while the appearance of the upper lid is slightly asymmetic and can be corrected, it may be a lot to go through to correct your problem. If you did want to try something, I would recommend fillers to the upper lid beneath the brow. We frequently use these to correct hollowed upper lids associated with age, and if your eyelid is making you really unhappy, that's where I would start. Make sure you find someone who is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery or Oculoplastics and comfortable injecting around the eye.
Good luck!

Apartment Ninety-Four A
"What d'ye even want me for anyway?"
"Because you're one of the best in the business." I paused. "And let's face it, we won't stand a chance without your connections. The Raven's got some, but he's gone surfaceside. He doesn't have the men down there like he used to."
"Listen, Gavin, I've done my part. I even told my boys not to follow ye both. I can't and I don't mean 'don't want to.' I can't."
"Lu," I breathed quietly into the comm, "that file I sold you. Worth more than a million in the right hands. Guess who wants it? Guess who commissioned us to steal it in the first place?"
"The Raven."
"This is it, Lu! The File, this job. You could settle down to a nice little retirement after this. Who needs the 'Urbs? You could go surfaceside!"
There was a long silence on his end. Then Lucatz said, "I don't like it. I don't wanna get involved wit' the Raven again. Ye remember 'ow it was, Gavin. Once ye fall into 'is little web, it's impossible to get out. I'm a free man, Gavin. I may be poor, I may be the scum o' the earth, but I'm free. That's all I got."
I had suspected he'd say this; I had been thinking the same thing myself. So I'd prepared another chip to throw into the bid. I didn't like it at all — It was becoming difficult to keep track of all the double-crossing I was doing — but it was necessary.
"You won't have to worry about the Raven after this job," I said.
"What? Gavin, what does that mean?"
"I mean, you won't have to worry about him."
Lucatz caught on. "Then what would 'appen? 'Oo would take 'is place?"
"That would be up to you," I said.
"I'll 'ave to think about this," said Lucatz warily. "I wanna talk all the details over wit' you carefully in person."
"I understand," I said, then cut the call and crushed the comm under my foot. I sprinkled the pieces in different recyclers all the way back to Colosseum Plaza.
Kris was waiting for me when I reached the hotel. A "mysterious benefactor" was putting us up for the time being, but we both knew exactly who the money was coming from. It felt strange to be living in a place of such extravagance after so much time in tram stations and alleyways.
"I got Lucatz," I said.
Kris looked surprised and not entirely happy. "We need him," I reminded her. She made no objection, but instead gestured to the door.
"The bellboy came by to tell us 'we're wanted at Fifty-Two Penrose, apartment Ninety-four A at 4:00.'"
The words hung suspended like ice cubes in a glass of water, revolving, clinking against each other.
"This is it," I said.
"This is it," repeated Kris.
We left the hotel at quarter to four and made our way across the plaza to Penrose street. Number 52 was a plastiglass high rise with gleaming black windows, sharp and bold as obsidian. We needed IDs to enter, but someone had apparently cleared us already and we walked across a polished onyxite lobby, our footsteps echoing disconcertingly.
We took an elevator to the 94th floor. It was so carefully pressurized and perfectly streamlined I couldn't tell if we were moving until the doors whispered open and we found ourselves in a dark corridor punctuated here and there by a stark chrome door. Suite A was the first one and I walked up to it to touch the buzzer, which I knew was wired to an automatic fingerprint-recognition scan. Kris moved in close to me, her fingers tapping her hip anxiously. I knew it made her nervous to be completely unarmed.
We waited and I felt the eyes of a dozen microlenses surveying us invisibly from the walls. Finally the door slid open and there stood a lean man with smooth silver hair sleeked back from his forehead. He beckoned us in and the door closed automatically behind us.
"The Raven has been expecting you," said the man in a soft tone, and I recognized his voice as that of the man who had accosted us in the Plaza the night before.
He led us down a hall and into a black-and-chrome sitting room furnished with synthetic-leather chairs, a glossy table, and an enormous tinted glass window that consumed one whole wall and afforded a breathtaking view of Alarbor from ninety-four stories up. There were already three people in the room, only one of whom I recognized. One was a papery-skinned man with digi-ink tattoos that crawled luminously beneath his skin. Another man stood by the window, bald, and so muscular I was sure his body had been bioengineered; he looked like a pale, hairless gorilla. And seated with a martini in hand was the woman Kris had caught spying on us at the Remmington Casino, her braids looking more snakelike than ever. They almost seemed to hiss as she twisted her head in our direction.
The silver-haired man gestured for us to sit down and we did so, taking the two chairs closest to the door. I wondered where the Raven was, because he wasn't in the room.
And then I heard his voice. At first I couldn't tell where it was coming from, but after a moment I pinpointed its location to a small black dome in the center of the table.
"It's been a long time, Gavin Ryder. I do hope you've made this worth my time."

Work toward solutions Take ownership in the redelivery. These are guidelines to help you prepare classroom teachers. Breaks & Lunch Restrooms Phone calls Please restrict to emergencies Online Training Update Day 1 up and running Access through www.georgiastandards.org Comments from those who have used it Day 2 in development Will be posted in early 2008 Same format as Day 1 Access through georgiastandards.org Small Group Discussion: Redelivery, thus far… Activity #1 – Physical Barometer 1. At your table, briefly discuss the redelivery process for your school system. Success stories? Troubleshooting? 2. Groups will rearrange according to their general opinion of their redelivery so far, organizing themselves on a continuum: wretchedly uncomfortable floating on a cloud What else could you do with a physical barometer? CONTENT KNOWLEDGE SEMINAR Working with factual knowledge to develop enduring understandings Historical Figures (see Content Knowledge Seminar handout for additional information) Benjamin Franklin (inventor/author/statesman) Thomas Jefferson (Declaration of Independence) Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea (exploration) Harriet Tubman (Underground Railroad) Theodore Roosevelt (National Parks & the environment) George Washington Carver (science) What to consider? * food, clothing, housing * transportation, communication * recreation George Washington He was first in war, He was first in peace, He was first in his countrymen's hearts. Our first President – George Washington – Helped give our nation its start. Building the Washington Monument The Washington monument was not built just by the government – ordinary Americans helped to pay for it! (Just like when Sarah was a little girl, and we helped "fix" the Statue of Liberty!) $230,000 How much money is that? In 2007 dollars: $5.7 MILLION What does that mean to a kindergartener? * With average ponies costing $1000, that would mean every student in our school could have TEN ponies! Where could we find the money? * Make this fun – let them draw their suggestions on construction paper, or even on larger chart or bulletin board paper. Things we could do today, in 2007: Things people could have done in 1854 (when Abraham Lincoln was alive): Historical Terms (see Content Knowledge Seminar handout for additional information) Primary Sources: Documents created during the time period under study. Accuracy is not guaranteed! Means more than just words – photographs, newsreels, even music can serve as primary source material. Secondary Sources: Records of events created by people who do not have first-hand experience of those events. Can be (should be) based on primary source material. May analyze or draw conclusions regarding events/people/etc. Videos CAN help us – sometimes. *There is no need to show 20 minutes of film, when only a few minutes provide the needed info! *Don't be afraid to stop, discuss, explain, etc. *Look at these as a research tool, not narrative stories. Using Primary Sources What would you use with your students? What would be your goal in using the document? What would be some potential issues in using this document? What might you need to differentiate? Kids don't have to understand every word in a document to use it! Documents can be used "just" to motivate & hook students' interests. Quotes to help us remember… "He was first in war, first in peace, & first in the hearts of his countrymen." "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter & lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." "Little strokes fell great oaks." "Where liberty is, there is my country. "Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia. More quotes… "I have no doubt but that this tract of country if cultivated would produce in great abundance every article…necessary to the comfort and subsistence of civilized man." "I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger." "This country will not be a permanently good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a reasonably good place for all of us to live in." "I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird and beast. I wanted to know where it got its color, where it got its life – but there was no to tell me." Economics in K-2 Chris Cannon Teacher on Assignment Econ Reference Sheet Intended as a refresher/overview NOT "all-encompassing" No influence on CRCT When in doubt, ask What's there? Kindergarten Work/income Role of money Making choices 1st Grade Goods and services Producers and consumers Choices/personal finance 2nd Grade – Scarcity – Allocation of goods/services – Use of money – Personal finance What's the big idea? Want to introduce students to the themes, concepts, and ideas that recur in economics For K-2, importance is getting students to realize what you and I call "economics" is all around them Economics is a true ladder, particularly in personal finance Focus on getting students to understand the concepts first, then they can apply them What's the big idea? Scarcity/Opportunity Cost/Consequences of Decisions Incentives Gain from Trade/Specialization Interdependency Role of money Government Interaction Rules All Play-doh must go back into the can every round Workday is only 15 Seconds Snakes must be the length of the pencil Donuts MUST fit around the bottom of the can You MUST have SNAKES AND DONUTS to survive with Play-Doh! What can I do with it? Using the Play-doh activity as a base, and using your standards, identify how this activity could help you teach various aspects of your standards. Discuss with small group and prepare to share with the large group. Your content knowledge seminar handout contains information that will help you complete the activities we discussed today with your students. Ready to get started? REVISITING CONCEPTUAL TEACHING Comparison Topic Based Facts and activities center around specific topic . Objectives drive instruction. Focus learning and thinking about specific facts. Instructional activities use a variety of discrete skills. Concept Based Use of facts and activities are focused by conceptual lens. Essential questions, drawn from concepts, drive instruction. Facts are learned to understand transferable concepts and ideas. Instructional activities call on complex performances using a variety of skills. Three principles of Conceptual Teaching Principle #1: Existing understandings & knowledge foundation for new learning. Principle #2: Essential role of factual knowledge and conceptual frameworks in understanding. Principle #3: The importance of selfmonitoring. Enduring Understandings Conceptual understandings drawn from and supported by critical content. (Erickson, Concept-Based Teaching, 71) Provides language to link themes and concepts to standards, knowledge and skills. Basis of conceptual teaching Provide scaffolding Standards provide specificity to concepts Written in sentence form in the present tense This is the essence of what students should take from the unit. NEXT STEPS: USING ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS & ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Pick the Enduring Understandings… 1. 2. 3. 4. The Renaissance period created a change in society. Conflict produces change. Ethnic groups in the United States have developed social organizations. The migration of cultures creates changes in beliefs and ideals. Stage 1: Curriculum Map Grade: First Standards: The focus of this important first unit is on the concepts and enduring understandings rather than specific standards. Standards: SS1H2; SS1G2; SS1G3a,b,c; SS1CG2 Related Skills: MG1 Standards: SS1H1a; SS1G1 Related Skills: MG1; IP2,6 Standards: SS1H1a; SS1G1 Related Skills: MG1, IP2,6 Unit focus: Connecting Themes in First Grade Social Studies (Part One) Unit focus: Our National Heritage Unit focus: A Changing Country Unit focus: Inventors of the United States In this unit students will be introduced to the unit connecting themes of: •Culture •Individuals, Groups, Institutions •Location These themes will provide the scaffolding needed for the study of Social Studies for the first half of the school year. Other connecting themes will be reintroduced in a similar fashion following first semester. Beliefs and Ideals: •Meaning of America (My Country 'Tis of Thee) and America the Beautiful (CG2) Culture: •Folktale heroes-John Henry, Johnny Appleseed, Davy Crockett, Paul Bunyan, Annie Oakley (H2) Location •Identify students' city, county, state, nation, continent (G2) •Major topographical features of the earth (G3a,b,c) Individuals, Groups, Institutions •Contributions made by Thomas Jefferson, Lewis & Clark with Sacagawea, Harriet Tubman, (H1a) Location: •Cultural/geographical systems of historical figures from H1a (G1) Begin introduction of character traits from CG1. This will continue through the next unit, culminating in a separate unit. Individuals, Groups, Institutions •Contributions made by Benjamin Franklin and George Washington Carver (H1a) Location •Cultural/geographical systems of historical figures from H1a (G1) Would you rather your students… Be able to recite five important dates from the life of Benjamin Franklin, OR Be able to explain how Benjamin Franklin, as an individual, contributed to the founding of our nation, and the institutions that govern it? Be able to define scarcity, opportunity cost, & barter, OR Be able to explain that the consumption of goods & services in a society is affected by the location, customs, beliefs, and laws of the society. Making Enduring Understandings Work for Primary Learners If we want kids to "get" the idea that conflict causes change, how do we help them figure it out? Familiar language, with increasing vocabulary as necessary Relevant examples, as necessary Picture clues, as necessary Be aware of multiple meaning words: the term conflict signifies more than just physical confrontation. We want to get as many meanings as necessary across to kids! Think About It: What is a kid-friendly way to say: "When conflict exists between or within societies, change is the result"? Making Enduring Understandings Work Activity #2 1. 2. 3. 4. At your grade-level table, divide into groups of 2-3. Looking at the list of recommended themes, divvy up the themes amongst the groups. (Every theme should be "taken" by one group.) Thinking about the "Big Idea" of the Enduring Understanding, rewrite the EU in kid-friendly language for your grade-level. Think about essential vocabulary, and the reading readiness level of your typical student. Post your Enduring Understandings. Using sticky notes, take a gallery walk and visit each grade-level. What do you notice about the language? Do certain themes reappear in each grade-level? What is the difference between the grade levels? Are we developing higher level vocabulary as students get older? Checklist for Enduring Understanding Written in sentence form using present tense Applies to many different topics Applies to multiple units Applies to different grade levels/courses References actual concepts/themes from the unit Bringing it home – reading aloud! What better way to give the entire class a touchstone to refer to when thinking about an Enduring Understanding? What books can you think of that would automatically connect these ideas to a common classroom experience? Take the EU chart on p. 40 of your guide, and travel the room. Find someone who can think of a different book than your suggestion for at least THREE of your grade level's EUs. Essential Questions The essential question can be developed in two different ways. It is important to develop both types as you plan units of instruction. Broad, overarching. Go to heart of discipline Re-occur naturally in the discipline, as do true Enduring Understandings May not have a correct answer Raise other important questions Unit, content specific Related to specific aspects of content Frame specific set of lessons or unit May be answered as result of lesson May not have a "right" answer What is an Essential Question? H. Lynn Erickson Specific, open-ended, thought provoking questions that probe the factual and conceptual levels of understanding (p.164) Max Thompson / Learning-Focused Schools Generally relate to the specific learning objectives of a lesson Wiggins and McTighe Can be answered by students with instruction Represent a big idea that has enduring value beyond the classroom Reside at the heart of the discipline (doing the subject) Social Studies Department EQs get to the heart of a particular enduring understanding Help students relate the factual knowledge to the concepts in the unit May or may not have a definitive answer Examples of Broad & Specific EQs EU: The student will understand that the culture of a society is the product of the religion, beliefs, customs, traditions, and government of that society. Kid-Friendly EU: What makes a society special is its culture: how people act, what people think, how they celebrate, and how they make their rules. Possible broad EQs: How can the culture of a group of people be good AND bad? Why does the culture of a place sometimes keep people from getting along with each other? Possible specific EQs: How does celebrating Thanksgiving Day make us special as Americans? What did Johnny Appleseed do that most Americans believe is right? More EQ Examples EU: The student will understand that the production, distribution, and consumption of goods/services produced by the society are affected by the location, customs, beliefs, and laws of the society. Kid-Friendly EU: The ways we make, get, and use goods and services are different from how people in other places make, get, and use goods and services. Possible broad EQ: Why do people in different places buy different goods? Possible specific EQs What services do people in our community provide to our school? How is _(bread)__ made? What did _(the baker)_ use to make it? Creating Essential Questions Activity #3 1. Using the Enduring Understandings you just developed, pick 1 EU and create 2 BROAD Essential Questions and 2 SPECIFIC Essential Questions based on a unit you enjoy teaching, or one you plan to teach using GPS next year.. Remember the difference between broad and specific. The EQ does not always have a single answer. 2. 3. Remember to base your Essential Questions on your GPS content and Enduring Understanding! Write your Enduring Understanding & Essential Question onto chart paper and post. Combining EQs: Social Studies (Economics) Why do people have to make choices? Math (SS1E2) How do tables and graphs help me organize my thinking? (M1D1a,b) Why do some companies make lots of different goods? (SS1E1) What information does ______ picture graph tell me? (M1D1a,b) Combining EQs: Social Studies (History) What do the stories of Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan say about our country? (SS1H2) How did the location of Cherokee villages affect the way they lived? (SS2H2a) English/Language Arts What do the characters of Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan have in common? (ELA1R6a,l) How do you write to convince your reader? (ELA2W1g) Think About It: At your table, answer these questions in a quick group discussion. Then, choose the most SURPRISING answer to share with the whole group. Be ready to explain why it surprised you. Why is it valuable to align EQs from more than one content area? How is this best practice? How can it help your students? What to do next: Redeliver Day 2. Any worries on that front? Continue working on building units and matching them with units from other content areas – don't forget to include activities/assessments. Return for Days 3 & 4 (remember – they're back to back) ready to plan for instruction. Bring any other units, resources, etc., to Days 3 & 4, along with any questions or concerns from Day 2 redelivery. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
