CLEARLAKE -- A jogger remained in surgery Thursday afternoon after being hit by a minivan earlier in the day.
The injured man's name was not released by the Clearlake Police Department (CPD).
The incident took place just before 10 a.m. when a Kia Sedona traveling eastbound on Arrowhead Road struck the man jogging in the same direction for unknown reasons near the Country Club Drive intersection, according to the CPD.
When officers arrived on scene, they found the jogger lying on the shoulder of the road with massive trauma. The unidentified man was airlifted to the University of California, Davis Medical Center and was still in surgery Thursday afternoon.
William Jackson, 63, or Clearlake Park was driving the minivan and was uninjured, according to the CPD. He was released after officers obtained a statement and physical evidence.
The cause of the incident remains under investigation. Drugs or alcohol did not appear to be factors. Arrowhead Drive was closed to traffic for about an hour.
Witnesses are urged to contact CPD Officer Adams at 994-8251.

As I recall he once turned Walt Frazier into his personal whipping boy to the tune of 68 points.
As hall of famers go, Maravich may be the most underrated. He was widely resented in the 70's and I think that kept him from getting the same just due that guys like Connie Hawkins and Earl monroe did.
I prefer "Machine Gun" Marquis...
Pistol Pete was perhaps the biggest loser in basketball history. People talk about Marbury, Francis, and Baron Davis. They've got nothing on Pistol Pete. First of all, his legendary college career was made legendary by the fact that he made sure to go to the college where his own father was the head coach, LSU. Of course daddy is gonna let him shoot it as many times as he wants to, which led to his amazingly bloated college scoring numbers. We'll just forget the fact that he never once led LSU to the NCAA Tournament. You'd think the "best" player in college basketball history by himself would be good enough to at least lead his team to a lower seed. Nope. The "greatest" college basketball player of all-time didn't even go #1 overall in the draft, he goes #3 behind Bob Lanier (Pistons) and Rudy Tomjanovich (Rockets). Then comes his NBA career, no more daddy around to let him have his way, so of course his scoring goes way down but the losing continues....
70-71: 36-46 (12 fewer wins then the season before)
71-72: 36-46
72-73: 46-36 (career high in assists - only winning season in his first 9. how odd.)
73-74: 35-47
74-75: 23-59
75-76: 38-44
76-77: 35-47
77-78: 39-43
78-79: 26-56
I'm not even gonna consider his final season, when he played 17 games with the Boston Celtics.
Career: 314-424 (.425)
What a winner that Pistol Pete! Wait, no he wasn't. His own teammates said he was a loser. But who cares about wins and losses, he had floppy socks and did neat tricks! Floppy socks and neat tricks are what basketball is all about!*
So...does that mean Jordan isn't the greatest player ever, since he didn't get drafted #1 either?
And it's foolish to imply that it was somehow easy to get into the NCAA tournament back in Maravich's day, compared to now. If you didn't win your conference, you couldn't get in. And no, he should not have been expected to beat Kentucky all by himself.
I sense a lot of jealousy and envy, but hey that's just me.
You want to say he wasn't a winner? Fine, albeit he never had the talent around him to win. But to imply that he wasn't one of the best guards ever to play the game is irresponsible and ignorant. His game spoke for itself. He was as offensively gifted as any guard in NBA history.
As for his teammates hating him, they resented his contract, which wasn't his fault.
But yeah, the only reason why he averaged 44ppg in college is because his dad was the coach. Of course, how did I not figure out it was that simple. All you need to do to score 40+ppg is to have a green light to shoot. It's not as if you have to play against a defense, or anything...
thanks for posting that. that's the first time i have seen alot of his clips, some of the stuff he did is amazing!
You obviously don't know much about the history of the NCAA tournament. You had to WIN your conference to make it in, period, prior to 1975.
If you were a top 5 team in the country but if you finished behind ANY other conference opponent, you went to the NIT or went home. The 20+ teams were champions of the then 20+ conferences (before conference mega-mergers) and about 15 of them were podunks.
Under the rules of that day were in place now, this season only one Big Ten team between Ohio State and Wisconsin would even make the field.
Yes, there were times when top 5 teams failed to make the tournament because of this. In the ACC in particular, they have always had a conference tournament and some great teams stayed home.
In 1973-1974, IU shared the Big Ten Title with Michigan and were a top 10 team. They barely lost a one-game playoff two days after the regular season ended to Michigan and missed the NCAA. They played in and won a short-lived tournament featuring second-place teams from all of the conferences, the CCA. This tournament disbanded the next year, when the NCAA finally allowed at-large teams.
Of course today almost as often as not the overall NCAA champion was not a conference champion.
You are right that he didn't win much. In those days LSU's basketball program had roughly the stature of Penn State's or Northwestern's hoops programs today. That is, nobody paid any attention to them since they were always an easy win and never got any decent recruits outside of a 20 mile radius surrounding Baton Rouge. He was then drafted onto badly run and perennial-losing NBA teams. At the very end he became a Celtic. Unfortunately his knees were shot and they did not then have the surgical techniques to help him keep playing.
PS I was lucky enough as about a 6 year old to see a few of his games in college. Living in southern Indiana, the Louisville station channel 3 carried SEC games every Saturday all afternoon.
Actually seeing Pete Maravich and also seeing Rick Mount play (best shooter to ever play college ball) got me hooked on basketball before I was even in grade school.
quoteBasketball isn't all about physical skills,
I suppose this is the reason that players like Steve Alford or Damon B. or any number of IU players never made an imprint in the NBA. Come on, the NBA is all about physical skills, without them, players will not even get a toe in the door. Why the hate for Pistol Pete? He worked as hard as any player in basketball to hone his skills and to make it to the big stage. I don't think that today's NBA stars would actually sleep with a basketball and carry it everywhere, like Pete did. I find your critizism of Pete misguided.
To put "Pistol Pete" in perspective: One of the premier guards and ballhandlers of all time, Isiah Thomas, said that Pete was the best ballhandler in all of baketball, period. He was an absolute magician with the ball.
Sure he didn't win much in college or the pros but he did more for the NBA then most players who won much more. He was the innovator of many moves plus, the no-look pass, the cross-over dribble, the behind the back pass, etc. (Actually Cousy was the originator of some of these passes but he was a robot compared to Pete).
He never was surrounded with much talent so he was the SHOW. Very few players ever probably put in as many hours in the gym as he.
I didn't care for him in college because he did shoot a lot because of his dad but I learned to appreciate his skills in the NBA even if he wasn't on a lot of winning teams.
Of course, my memories of Pete are filtered through a kid's mentality, but I was a big fan of Pete. That reminds me, I have a Psitol Pete basketball card hidden in my attic somewhere. I'm going to have to find it and see if ti has any value.
I'm with roferr on this. I, for one, aren't going to respond to what appears to be a well written troll post. Pete was amazing.
I have not seen so many games with Pete, he was very fun to watch tho(especially if u was a fan in that time / era).
He was original, he was the first one with so many tricks, he was ahead of his time with his style and thats about it.......................... nothing more, nothing less.
If you took away his "magic ballhandling skills" then i dont think he would even be remembered today, well not as famous as today. He is/was not underrated or overrated, but only remembered and respected as THE "inventor"... he took a hard job, that job which you would be hated for from your teammates/coaches in that time & era but at the other end being very famous later for pushing the NBA to another level.
Think if there was no guys like Pistol Pete and that basketball would still be the same as in the 60s - 70s, we would today be SHOT for dribbling the ball between the legs in a game? :)
He was amazing to watch. If he were my son he would have been shooting his a55 off too.
My dad did see Maravich, and he insists that Nash is better.
For what it's worth.
Steve Nash and Bob Cousey were essentially the same player.
Regardless of the memories or feelings all of you have towards Pistol Pete, PacersFan83 brings some great points to the table. He was an extremely talented shooter and was important in making basketball as popular as it is now, however if he was in the league today, I think people would be grouping him with the other selfish players who have never won anything and take a lot of shots. No question.
I haven't seen much of Maravich myself, but the way some people describe him, he sounds like a rich man's Jason Williams (White Chocolate).
I remember seeing Maravich play. There was a story about how he was almost Dr Js team mate and went through training camp with him before the NBA said Dr Js rights belonged Milwaukee.
The Hawks defied the league a third time, on September 30, when Erving suited up to play the ABA?s Carolina Cougars in Raleigh, North Carolina. Future basketball legend David Thompson, entering his sophomore year at N.C. State, was in the bleachers at Reynolds Coliseum and looked on in amazement.
?Man, it was insane. Those two just played like they had been teammates forever,? Thompson recalled. ?Pete was awesome. He was everything I had read about and more. He was 6-5 but could handle the ball and was quick, and could jump. People don?t realize how high he could jump. He could shoot anywhere from across the half court line.?
Maravich?s deft passing was particularly impressive to Thompson. He remembered Maravich dribbling hard on a fast break, flanked by Erving and Hudson. At the top of the key, Maravich head faked the Carolina defender, locked both elbows as he looked right but threw left ? a perfect bounce pass to Erving. Pete?s old ?wrist-pass? was still effective.
Erving explained to Friedman, ?I would just grab a rebound, throw it out to Pete, and get on the wing. Pete would always find you. He got his points, but he loved to pass the ball. He could hit you in full stride in a place where you could do something with the ball. That was a measure of his greatness.?
Go read the whole article. I will take DrJs and David Thompssons word on Pete!
Some of the ignorance from our apparently-younger posters in this thread astonishes me.
Pistol Pete was one of my heros growing up. Of course, my Dad was also one of my coaches through high school and was an "unofficial" member of my college track team's coaching staff, so I related to some of the pressures (and ill-conceived criticisms like the ones above) that Pistol Pete faced every day so I looked to guys like Pete, Alford (back when I respected him, before he made a mockery of coaching while at Manchester), etc. for inspiration. Maybe I'm a bit biased. So be it.
Pistol died at a young age, of a heart attack, while playing ... a pickup game of basketball.
Guys in the NBA today act like they don't even enjoy playing the game; but Pistol couldn't get enough of the game he loved, even with a mangled knee.
Was he selfish, or was he the only decent player on some truly God-awful teams? This wasn't the post-CBS version of the NBA, where the salary cap was finally leveling the playing field and there was plenty of national television exposure to go around.
This was the 1970s version of the NBA, which had numerous problems fielding competitive, drug-free teams and had very restricted free-agency rules. It wasn't Pistol's fault that he played for awful Hawks and New Orleans Jazz teams.
Pistol is a very worthy member of the Hall of Fame.
Keep in mind that if you're going to criticize him for having the green light to shoot in college, that LSU had no other capable offensive scorers, and the defense knew it and played a lot of zones (triangle-two's) or triple-teams just to limit Pete to 45 points per game or so.
Just for the record, I did not mean to slam Pistol Pete in my posts, I more meant to bring up the question of how he would be viewed today?
He was the Allen Iverson of the 70s in many ways. His style of play made a lot of people angry, like Iverson's tattoos, hairstyle and also style of play. He was a showman, who took a lot of shots and put up incredible stats but never won anything. Would people say what they say about him now if he was in the middle of his career currently instead of during that time? What would people be saying when he was taking almost 30 shots a game for a sub 500 team? Even though he wasn't surrounded with any talent, which is a valid excuse, would that be excused today? AI gets slammed by people on this board and he can use the exact same excuse- and he got his team to the finals.
I don't know the answer to all these questions, I just think its a very interesting thing to think about.
Iverson is a great comparison for Pete. But Iverson had a well-coached team that was built around him and he took them to the NBA Finals.
Imagine if Iverson spent his entire career with a roster that resembled this year's Sixers? That might still be better than fate that was given to Pete.
People that actually followed the NBA then (all fifty of them, nationwide) understood what was going on. I'm sure the rest of the casual sports fans in the country might have found things to criticize.
If there were more people paying attention to the NBA then, perhaps Atlanta and New Orleans wouldn't have been able to get away with having such awful franchises. But they (like the Pacers, Cavs, Kansas City, Buffalo, and others) probably made just enough ticket revenue when the big market teams came to town to make it a worthwhile business venture (and pre-salary cap they didn't spend more on payroll because there was no "bang for the buck" - the big market teams were going to win anyway so why waste extra money on payroll?)
This isn't even "your father's NBA". This was "your grandfather's NBA", and it had serious problems that weren't solved until the postive effects of the salary cap began working through the entire league. Remember, at that time basketball lagged so far behind baseball that it was in danger of falling behind hockey into being the nations "#4" sport. Now its a solid #2 and baseball faces that risk.
Man, i just saw that 68 point game of his and it was just :-o
Most ridicilous game, high scoring game and shots ive seen in my life...
Almost all of his baskets he made was 15-25 foot shots, fadeaways, sky-hooks, double pumps shots, left handed shots, throwing shots behind the back over the head and swisch! hiting shots sometimes without even looking at the basket over frasier & over double teams & over tripple teams, dribbling all over the coart and braking ankles of 5 defenders with crossovers, he did great passes, great rebounds, great steals, great blocks, the layups resulted with AND 1 all the time, he then twists his ankle and gets up and scores even more, then he gets fouled out, he made at least 15 shots from 25 feet or so and if there was a 3PT line he would get at least 100.....
And LOL @ young Phil Jackson & Bevetta! :D
I can go and die now, honestly... there is nothing that can entertain me more after seeing this game. Thank you Pete :censored:

From a ho-hum resort town, Mazatlan has metamorphosed into one of the world's more captivating beach vacation spots. In this socially and economically diverse yet tourist-friendly city, located in Sinaloa state, there is a culturally rich Centro Historico only a short distance from the 20 kilometers of sandy beaches. With the continuous reinvigoration of its historic center, Mazatlan now, more than ever, deserves its moniker as the Pearl of the Pacific.
For the best view of Mazatlan from above, hike up to the Faro, or lighthouse, that stands a little over 500 feet above sea level. The three islands of Isla de Chivos, Isla de Pajaros and Isla de Venados are wildlife refuges and they make great photographs at dusk just when the sun is setting low in the horizon. You can take a Deer Island Tour to Isla de Venados. The Machado Square or the Plazuela in Centro Historico, with its beautiful architecture and outdoor restaurants, have an almost Parisian feel to them. In the Plazuela you can find the Teatro Angel Peralta, which was originally constructed in the 1800s and now wonderfully-restored. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, with its unique Star of David to honor the Jewish family who donated money for its construction, is a quiet place to visit and contemplate. You can swim, jet ski at surf in any of Mazatlan's many beaches. Highly recommended is Olas Altas Beach, with its numerous monuments, and North Beach, located close to the downtown area. Playa Bruja, with its 8-foot to 10-foot waves is the premier surfing spot here. Golfers can play in the Robert Trent Jones Jr.- designed 18-hole Estrella del Mar course.
Camarones is certainly delicious in Mazatlan and highly recommended. On the north side of Machado Square, you can find a lot of good dining spots for lunch or dinner. The Zona Dorada has a number of good eats as well. More places can be found in the downtown area and Playa Norte. There are also open-air food stalls in the Centro Mercado in Old Mazatlan.
The shopping hub here is the Zona Dorada. Handcrafts can be found at the Mazatlan Arts and Crafts Center, while you can pick up souvenirs and objects made of sea shells at, where else, Sea Shell City. For souvenir shirts, hats and bags, head to Senor Frog's. If you're in the market for jewelry, Pardo Jewelers and Rubio Jewelers have a large selection to choose from.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.—Most of the Notre Dame players allowed themselves to be devoured by the rush of students from the western stands at Purcell Pavilion, even though the Irish victory nearly was certain by halftime and the Kentucky squad they were playing had already fallen once. And it's not like these kids haven't had any athletic success to celebrate this autumn.
Scott Martin has been with the Irish for five years. As his teammates still were surrounded, he evaded the swarm and walked casually along the baseline toward the ND locker room. He knew: This is what was supposed to happen.
"If you look at the way we play in this building, the support we have, we came in expecting to win this game. We didn't feel we were underdogs," Martin told Sporting News. "Granted, they're a very good team, and we don't want to play them later in the year. We're glad we got them now. But we believe in ourselves and especially how we play in this building.
"We don't look at it as a huge upset."
The wise guys knew what was up. The Linemakers service on Sportingnews.com had ND as a 1-point favorite, and at that price this might have been one of the safest bets of the season. Here's what the Irish do not do at Purcell Pavilion or the Joyce Center or whatever you care to call this place: lose. They entered the Kentucky game 40-1 in their last 41 home games. So now, after the Irish thrashed Kentucky by a 64-50 margin Thursday night in the Big East/SEC Challenge, it's 41-1.
"We have a lot of pride here," ND center Jack Cooley said following a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double. "We don't ever let anyone boss us around here. We don't let anybody dominate us."
It was not terribly surprising to see this particular Kentucky team struggle in its first true road game. Each of the past two UK teams lost their first road test against a major opponent; last season's team fell in that famous Indiana game, and the year before it was a close loss at North Carolina. Plus, it has been fairly well established this bunch of Wildcats is neither as talented nor as complete as the previous two.
It was, though, a bit of a shock to see how comfortably Notre Dame handled this game. The Irish led by as much as 20 in the second half and never allowed the lead to slip below double digits. They stretched the Kentucky defense with a spread offense, then passed and cut until the Wildcats caved. On those rare occasions when a huge crevasse did not appear in the defense by the time 10 seconds remained on the shot-clock, the Irish then ran ball screens that UK defended poorly.
"It was ugly today," Wildcats coach John Calipari said. "When it got to 25 seconds, we fouled, left a man, didn't communicate, gave them a 3. There were plays where two guys crossed it and was like: what, who's, what? I mean, we've got our work cut out for us. When you're talking about a team like this, they've got to talk, and they've got to play harder than the other team. If they don't, we're not going to have great success with this team. We're just not. Now I've got to bring that out of them somehow.
"I didn't expect us—I knew this could have been a tough game. I would have been absolutely stunned if we played one of those games where you look at it and say, 'Wow.' This is a freshman team and we played like freshmen."
Notre Dame did not employ the deathly "Burn Offense" that helped secure an unlikely NCAA Tournament bid in 2010. This scheme contained all the patience associated with that attack, but there was more movement and fluidity and the option of taking any high-quality shot that developed on the way to the shot-clock buzzer.
Notre Dame guards Eric Atkins and Jerrian Grant shot 11-of-21 from the field and combined for 29 points, and wing Cameron Biedscheid stunned Kentucky with 10 points off the bench, including two big 3-pointers.
"We wanted to turn them over and make them guard us for long possessions and get them going side-to-side," Martin said. "Hopefully we could get someone to fall asleep or miss an assignment."
That happened plenty, which happens often here at the Purcell Pavilion. What is odd, though, about Notre Dame's success in this building is that it's not a particularly intimidating arena to visit. It's a much lovelier place after the renovation that provided everyone a chairback seat, save for the couple rows of student fans directly under the visiting team's second-half goal. They tried to invent an air of foreboding by having everyone dress in black, even head coach Mike Brey, looking quite fit in his customary mock turtleneck. They even stationed superstar linebacker Manti Te'o directly under the goal, but however imposing he might be on the gridiron the Wildcats did better when they attacked his basket.
It's just not that loud here. It's not Allen Fieldhouse or Cameron Indoor or even Mackey Arena on a good night. And yet it's a fortress.
"It's hard to put your finger on it," Martin said. "Just our comfort here in this gym—we get to practice in here every day, so I think that definitely translates. I don't know. It's just the luck of the Irish, I guess."
The 2011-12 Irish team earned a No. 7 NCAA Tournament seed by compiling a 16-1 record here while going just 6-10 elsewhere. That dichotomy underscores how challenging it has become for a road team to play at Notre Dame.
It also begs the question why, given how successful the Irish have become at home, they haven't been able to play so forcefully on the road.
"At home, it always seems like everything is going to be OK because the crowd is always with you," Cooley said. "So even if something isn't going really right at the moment, you know you can turn it around because you're at home. But on the road, sometimes if things aren't going well, you get a little down and question what's working and what's not."
That's the kind of thing one might expect from a team of freshmen, say. Notre Dame does not have that problem.

I sure hope she pulls through. Thanks for the story about your daughter
But in case she flakes out, I'd want this ticket to go to use, for sure. She's been having a bad month (or couple of months) so I'm feeling a little wary about whether or not she'll keep it together to come with me. It would be extra good for her I think because the first part of the first day is dedicated to teaching on the Four Noble Truths. Hearing these truths about suffering from HHDL right now might be just right for her.

Its $AUD500 which is around $US400. And that is for the session/s His Holiness is giving in Sydney which forms part of the conference program.
The session I am attending in Hobart is the public lecture titled 'Our Earth: Who is Responsible', and that ranges in price from $25 to $70 per seat depending on where you want to sit. Its a secular topic as a public talk. I haven't investigated his teachings because they're in Sydney and Melbourne. I attended one of His Holinesses teaching events in Melbourne a few years ago which was great but this time around, I'm more interested in seeing him give a lecture to a non-Buddhist audience on climate change and social responsibility.
Kind regards

Ship Weight:0.20 Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Saving Face Unscented Medium Protection Sunscreen SPF 15 - 2.3 oz. (68 ml) Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Saving Face Unscented Medium Protection Sunscreen is light enough to wear under makeup. Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Saving Face Unscented Medium Protection Sunscreen is a gently moisturizing suncreen that is custom-made for the face's delicate skin. Wear Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Saving Face Unscented Medium Protection Sunscreen in place of your regular moisturizer to protect skin from sun damage anytime you're outside. Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Saving Face Unscented Medium Protection Sunscreen provides SPF 15 protection from UVB and UVA rays. Aubrey Organics Natural Sun Saving Face Unscented Medium Protection Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn. When do I need sun protection? The real answer is: any time you're outside. It's important to remember that sun protection isn't just for days at the beach. Sun damage can happen whenever you come in contact with harmful UV rays—that includes when you are out walking the dog or driving in your car, early or late in the day when the sun is low, or even on overcast days. Remember: when you are fully dressed, your hands and face are still exposed, so a little daily sun protection is a good idea. The most dangerous time to be outdoors without proper protection is between 10 AM and 3 PM, when the sun is at its peak. It is safest to stay indoors during those hours, but if you go outside, be sure to wear protective clothing or use a high SPF sunscreen and reapply it frequently and liberally. (One ounce of sunscreen, enough to fill a shotglass, should cover most exposed skin.) What is an SPF? SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is a rating system that determines how long a sunscreen protects your skin from the sun's UVB rays. The SPF number is a measure of how much longer you can stay in the sun without burning while using a sunscreen versus how long you can stay without burning while wearing NO sun protection. Say that your skin normally begins to turn red after 10 minutes of unprotected sun exposure. If you use a product rated SPF 2, your skin would not begin to burn for twice that amount of time: 20 minutes. If you use a sun product rated SPF 25, you could stay in the sun for 250 minutes, a little over 4 hours (25 x 10 minutes) before your skin would start to turn red. Remember, though, that SPF numbers are not absolute. It all depends on how fast or how slowly YOU start to burn. If your unprotected skin burns in 5 minutes, an SPF 25 product might let you stay in the sun a little over 2 hours without burning (25 x 5 minutes = 125 minutes). Here's something else to keep in mind: The SPF measures only the level of protection from UVB rays, the ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn, and does not measure levels for the far more dangerous UVA rays, which penetrate the skin more deeply and can cause damage at the cellular level. When choosing a sunscreen, it's important to look for one that offers broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. What are UV rays? Rays of light from the sun are different lengths. Some of those lengths result in the different colors you see. UV rays are shorter than the shortest rays in the visible-light spectrum, which are the ones your eyes perceive as the color violet. (UV stands for "ultraviolet.") There are 3 types of UV rays: UVC rays are the shortest, so short that they usually don't make it through the Earth's ozone layer to reach your skin. When it comes to sun protection, UVC rays are not a concern. UVB rays are a little longer, and can penetrate the skin, but not too deeply, reaching only the outer layers (epidermis). UVB rays are responsible for causing your skin to tan and/or burn. Longterm exposure to UVB rays can rapidly age your skin, making it look leathery and wrinkled. UVA rays are the longest UV rays, and can penetrate more deeply, into the dermis, the second layer of your skin. They can do serious damage at the cellular level, causing cellular changes that can lead to skin cancers. They are a primary cause for photo aging, wrinkles and skin discoloration. "Critical wavelength" is the international rating system for UVA protection, defined as the point at which a sunscreen allows 10% of UVA rays to penetrate the skin. The FDA has determined sunscreens with a critical wavelength of over 370 nanometers provide excellent protection. Aubrey's Natural Sun SPF 30+ sunscreens have a critical wavelength of 375 nm. How do Aubrey Organics' sun protection products work?There are two main types of sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays before they have a chance to penetrate and damage the skin. (These types of sunscreens are more controversial because they are easily absorbed by the skin and can cause allergic reactions, irritation and other more serious concerns.) Physical barrier sunscreens form a protective layer on top of your skin that blocks and reflects the sun's harmful rays. Aubrey's Natural Sun sunscreens are physical barrier sunscreens, formulated with micronized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the active ingredients. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are naturally occurring minerals, and are among the 17 ingredients approved for sun protection by the FDA. Since both are white in color, the larger the particles of these ingredients, the more of a whitish film they leave on your skin. "Micronized" simply means they are ground into a very thin powder made up of particles so small, they are measured in either microns or nanometers (nm). The smaller the particles, the less visible the ingredients. Aubrey Organics is very confident in the track record of safety and effectiveness of these ingredients, which is backed by many clinical studies. What are nanoparticles? Should I be concerned?A nanoparticle is a very tiny piece of a solid substance. "Nano" means "billion," and a nanoparticle is defined as a particle smaller than one billionth of a meter (a nanometer, or nm). Nanoparticles of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are often used in sun products to minimize the white film these ingredients can leave on the skin. Some consumer groups have raised concerns about nanoparticles, fearing that something so small could penetrate the skin, get into deeper tissues, and have adverse health effects. This issue has been studied extensively over the past five years. The overwhelming number of current studies indicates that nanoparticulate titanium dioxide and zinc oxide do not get past the epidermis. The FDA has determined nanoparticles are safe when used in cosmetics and sunscreens. That said, Aubrey Organics' testing has shown that the average particle of micronized titanium dioxide in Aubrey sunscreens has an average size of 202 nm, or twice the largest size considered a nanoparticle, while the average zinc oxide particle is more than 1,000 nm, or ten times the size of a nanoparticle. Aubrey's PhilosophyFrom the products they manufacture to the people they touch, Aubrey Organics believes that how a company conducts its business is as important as what it sells. Ethics, values, environment, responsibility and leadership are all at the heart of Aubrey. Aubrey has taken a leadership role in giving back to the earth, its people, and its culture, as we are all connected. That is only fair. Aubrey's MissionAubrey Organics' mission is to provide all-natural, safe and effective personal care and lifestyle products to the consumer. Aubrey offers a true and authentic alternative to many of the mass produced synthetic products on the market today. Aubrey crafts only the highest quality all-natural products without compromise as to ingredients, packaging or cost. Aubrey believes in education and transparency. A customer is best able to make an educated and correct purchasing decision only when armed with true and valued information. Part of Aubrey's core purpose is to provide that information as best as they can. What Aubrey Does At Aubrey they're believe great ingredients make great products. This is the simple philosophy at the heart of the pioneering personal care company Aubrey Hampton founded over 40 years ago. Since the very beginning, the high standards Aubrey set for themselves has not changed. Aubrey uses only the finest herbal, plant extracts and natural vitamins in all of their products. You will find no paraben preservatives, no petrochemicals, no artificial colors or fragrances of any kind. Today Aubrey remains committed to making healthy, natural products based on herbal traditions that, in many cases, date back thousands of years. Aubrey believes that everything they know about hair and skin care they learned from nature first. How Aubrey Does ItAll products at Aubrey are creatively designed to work in hamony with nature. This fine balance of performance and nature is truly an art… and a little science. Next comes the sourcing of ingredients. Aubrey will accept only the highest quality and purest of ingredients from around the world. Each ingredient is tested to ensure it meets Aubrey's high standards for purity and efficacy. Aubrey then mixes their products the old-fashioned way, by hand (as you might in your kitchen). Every product is handcrafted in small batches of 50 gallons or less for greater quality control. And there is always a watchful set of eyes during the manufacturing phase. Remember, there is nothing to be found in an Aubrey product that does not come from nature. Aubrey's CommitmentAubrey's commitment to people is profound. Aubrey believes that they are truly citizens of the world and accept the responsibilities that accompany that. Aubrey works with farm communities, suppliers and businesses from around the world. It might be by sponsoring organic agriculture in Honduras, overseeing the development of herbs in Japan, or explaining the importance of organic farming techniques in Ghana. At the same time Aubrey understands and believes that charity begins at home. Aubrey is greatly tied into their local community. It all starts with their employees. Aubrey believes in fair pay, safe working conditions, and use an ethical approach when handling all issues. All their employees are important, have a voice, and are listened to. The smallest of suggestions could lead to the largest discoveries. Aubrey supports many charities, whether it is an AIDS hostel in Vancouver, Canada, or a homeless shelter in downtown Tampa. Aubrey does not discriminate. Aubrey is actively engaged in and support the performing arts and encourage participation. Aubrey believes the best accomplishment of a successful organization is to make the world a little better, cleaner and brighter for tomorrow's people. Aubrey's commitment to the Earth is not new. They have lived this commitment heart and soul for over 40 years now. It is nothing new to them, and certainly not a trend or a bandwagon we recently jumped on. It is, and has always been Aubrey's way of life. Aubrey's purpose is to leave the Earth in better shape than it is today. From the all-natural ingredients in their products, to the biodegradable, recyclable and recycled packaging they use, Aubrey is careful to a fault. Profit is never the overriding factor in Aubrey's packaging or ingredient decision-making. Aubrey uses sustainable, plant-based ingredients in all of their products. Aubrey never uses petrochemicals or other non-sustainable ingredients. All their print materials are produced on recycled paper and are 100% recyclable. From start to finish, Aubrey understands the importance of the product life cycle. The final disposition of a product is as important as its inception. All of their formulations are biodegradable. Aubrey wholeheartedly supports sustainable, natural and/or organic farming techniques. Aubrey always sources certified organic ingredients whenever possible without concern for cost. Aubrey understands that future generations are counting on them to be stewards of the Earth. Aubrey needs to provide for them a clean, safe and non-toxic world where all can live in health and happiness. One cannot exist without the other! Aubrey will do everything in their power to honor this commitment. Aubrey is a value-based organization. Aubrey believes that a company can conduct business in an ethical and enlightened manner and be successful, and they are determined to set an example. Aubrey believes that competition and fair play are at the heart of success. Corporate greed has no place in today's business environment. Aubrey lives by these rules everyday and encourages all to follow in the same footsteps. Aubrey's values are their guide to: Fair trade Fair play Fair treatment of employees Fair treatment of partners Integrity Humanity & nature - it is One World Ethics Responsibility Leadership Transparency Education And much more… Natural Products Association SealAubrey was the first natural cosmetic manufacturer to have a complete makeup line certified by the Natural Products Association (NPA). In 2008, the NPA established the first and only national standard for natural personal care products. The NPA certification and official seal are awarded to personal care products that meet their strict definition of natural, and are designed to help consumers identify truly natural products and make an informed decision. Founded in 1936, the NPA is the largest non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to the natural products industry.QAI - Quality Assurance InternationalIn 1994 Aubrey became the first personal care company to be certified as an organic processor by Quality Assurance International of San Diego, CA. Aubrey's Tampa, Florida, manufacturing plant is regularly inspected and has been certified as a facility where organic ingredients are handled to US Dept. of Agriculture's National Organic Program standards.Aubrey is committed to using premium natural and organic ingredients-and the list of certified organic herbs and plant extracts you'll find in their products keeps growing. Aubrey believes this is the best way to tell their customers just how natural they really are. BDIH - Certified Natural CosmeticsIn 2004 Aubrey became the first U.S. company to bear the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetics seal. BDIH stands for Germany's prestigious Federation of German Industries and Trading Firms for Medicines, Natural Products, Food Supplements and Body Care (Bundesverband Deutscher Industrie und Handelsunternehmen für Arzneimittel, Reformwaren, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und Körperpflege, or BDIH in German).Based in Mannheim, Germany, the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetic seal was created in 1996 to establish strict guidelines for the manufacture of natural cosmetics. Only companies using the finest, plant-based ingredients and ecologically responsible manufacturing practices can be BDIH certified. Aubrey is proud to display the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetic seal in its European labels. USDA Organic CertificationA number of Aubrey's products have been certified organic by the USDA National Organic Program, and carry the USDA Organic seal. Aubrey is committed to using as many organic ingredients as possible in our natural products. Leaping Bunny - Cruelty-FreeAll Aubrey products carry the "leaping bunny" logo, the internationally recognized symbol for "cruelty-free" cosmetics. Established by the Coalition for Consumer Information in Cosmetics (CCIC), a group of eight national animal protection organizations, the leaping bunny represents a single, comprehensive standard. Whenever you see this logo, you can be sure neither the product, nor any of its ingredients has been tested on animals.For more than 40 years, Aubrey has been a vocal opponent of animal testing. Aubrey has never tested on animals, and they never will.

Banner Year for History Faculty Books
The College's Department of History has just made some history of its own.
During the past year, five faculty-authored and three faculty-coedited books have been published, an impressive feat considering that researching, writing, and publishing an academic book can take 10 years.
"It's astonishing the number of people who have books out," says Pamela Nadell, the department chair who herself coedited a book published this year "I've been at AU for over 30 years, but I don't recall a year like this."
How to explain it?
"Some of it is about the new faculty who have joined us, like Anton Fedyashin, who are remarkably productive," Nadell says. "But there's also an exciting synergy in the department. Richard and Allan's book [Distinguished Professors Breitman and Lichtman's FDR and the Jews], for example, came out of a friendship of more than three decades." Here's a brief rundown of the Department of History's crowded shelf of recently published books, starting with those authored by faculty members:
Richard Breitman and Allan J. Lichtman:
FDR and the Jews (Belknap/Harvard)
Discovering "a previously unknown document reconstructing an April 1938 conversation in which FDR said he would like to get all the Jews out of Europe," combined with other previously unavailable sources, says Breitman, "convinced me that one could now do a more nuanced and thorough study of Roosevelt, showing how his attitudes and policies evolved over time. When I decided that I had to do Roosevelt's early life and politics in great depth, I went to the best American political historian I know: my friend and colleague Allan Lichtman. Allan agreed to work with me, and FDR and the Jews is the product of an equal partnership."
Anton Fedyashin:
Liberals under Autocracy: Modernization and Civil Society in Russia,1866–1904 (University of Wisconsin)
"I wanted to examine the vibrant liberal culture that flourished in the late imperial era, chronicling its contributions to Russia's rich literary culture, political philosophy, and social trends. I also wanted to challenge assumptions about Russia's intellectual history and cast the country's nascent liberalism as a distinctly Russian blend of self-governance, populism, and other cultural traditions. The book stands as a contribution to the literature on imperial Russia's nonrevolutionary intellectual movements that emphasized the role of local politics in modernization and the evolution of civil society in an extraparliamentary environment."
Max Paul Friedman:
Rethinking Anti-Americanism: The History of an Exceptional Concept in American Foreign Relations (Cambridge)
Explaining the impetus for writing his book, Friedman recalls Jacques Chirac's attempt, based on the French president's experience as a conscript in Algeria, to warn the United States against getting involved in a war in Iraq—and the subsequent irrational American umbrage (freedom fries, calls to dig up fallen soldiers from their graves in Normandy) which led him to French president Charles DeGaulle's eerily similar warning in 1961 to President Kennedy about going into Vietnam.
"And you know what a lot of Americans did?" Friedman asks. "They burned French flags, they poured good wine down the drain. A member of Congress, I kid you not, gave a speech saying we should dig up our boys from Normandy and bring them home because French soil was no longer a fit resting place for our American heroes."
Peter Kuznick and Oliver Stone (director):
The Untold History of the United States (Gallery Books)
The collaboration between Kuznick and Academy Award–winning director Stone produced a companion volume for a 10-part Showtime documentary series.
"It's been a great project," Kuznick says. "Eight of my grad students have worked on it, mostly as paid researchers, and I've had a lot of input from other graduate students and some undergraduates who have assisted in other and ways. And I couldn't have done it without my history department colleagues. It's an enormous project."
Eric Lohr:
Russian Citizenship: From Empire to Soviet Union (Harvard)
"I entered Russian studies right when the Soviet Union collapsed and questions of citizenship and nationality were in the headlines every day, yet historical study of the region was largely focused on other issues. No one had written a history of Russian citizenship. I was able to find sources that had not yet been studied. It proved to be a very complicated topic that required many subsequent trips to the Russian archives."
Here are the department's current faculty-coedited books:
Laura Beers and Geraint Thomas:
Brave New World: Imperial and Democratic Nation-Building in Britain between the Wars (Institute of Historical Research)
"Brave New World grew out of a conference which [we] organized at Newnham College, Cambridge, in April 2009 to encourage dialogue between young scholars based primarily in the U.S. and Britain. Several themes emerged, notably the changing role of national and imperial identity in post-WWI Britain. The book attempts to draw out this theme and tell a broader story about the complex relationship between nationalism, communication, and modernity."
Alan Kraut and David A. Gerber (SUNY–Buffalo): Ethnic Historians and the Mainstream: Shaping the Nation's Immigration Story (Rutgers University Press)
Eleven autobiographical essays by historians, including Kraut and National Jewish Book Award winner Deborah Dash Moore, explain how their authors' ethnic backgrounds influenced their scholarly work.
Pamela S. Nadell and Kate Haulman:
Making Women's Histories: Beyond National Perspective (NYU)
In their introduction, Nadell and Haulman write that the collected essays examine a world in which women and their ideas were routinely ignored, a "world transformed by considering the intellectual and political production of women's history across time and space. In 10 chapters, scholars, who have all published significant works in women's and gender history in diverse national, imperial, and geographic contexts, stand atop historiographically defined vantage points, including Tsarist Russia, the British empire in Egypt and India, Qing dynasty China, and the U.S. roiling through the 1960s."

Happy toddler zone
Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder in which your child may have a variety of physical and/or verbal éticsé. Tics can range from eye blinking, sniffing, and grunting, to the more serious jumping and cursing. More boys than girls suffer from Tourette syndrome. Kids with Tourette syndrome may also suffer from ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), depression and anxiety.
Doctors arenét really sure what causes Tourette syndrome, but they believe it might have to do with a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some researchers believe that brain abnormalities and infections may also play a role. Although some children appear to outgrow Tourette syndrome, the disorder is thought to be always present.
Tourette syndrome is rarely serious, but it can be embarrassing and extremely frustrating for your child.
While you canét prevent Tourette syndrome, you can help your child develop strategies to manage the disorder.
Kids with Tourette syndrome display a variety of verbal and physical tics ranging from what are called simple tics to complex tics. Simple tics include blinking, shrugging, head jerking, eye darting, finger flexing, sticking the tongue out, barking grunting, hiccupping, yelling, and throat clearing. Complex tics include touching and smelling things or people, hopping, jumping, arm flapping, obscene gestures, repeating words or phrases, using different voices, and verbalising obscenities.
Treatment for Tourette syndrome generally includes management strategies and medications. In some milder forms of Tourette syndrome, a child can restrain the tics long enough to get to a place where he can privately let them all out. Other children may need medications to help control the tics. Stress and anxiety may aggravate tics and many children have tics in their sleep, so ités important to educate yourself as to what happens when your child has Tourette syndrome. Psychological treatment may be necessary to treat accompanying disorders. There has been some success with deep brain stimulation (DBS), a procedure during which an electrical probe is implanted into the section of the brain thought to cause Tourette syndrome.
Make an appointment with your childés doctor if you believe he has Tourette syndrome.

In 2009, filmed entertainment earned $5.48 billion in revenue and increase of $551 million, or 10.1%, from 2008. The process of creating, releasing and later licensing filmed entertainment is broken down into four segments that create different revenue streams. These segments are home entertainment, television licensing and ancillary revenues.
Viacom competes directly with other major media conglomerates including Time Warner (TWX) and Walt Disney Company (DIS). While Viacom's revenues and market cap are significantly smaller than those of its competitors it does maintain an advantage in operating margin.

Broward Sheriff's Office detectives arrested three juveniles who burglarized a Deerfield Beach private school and caused serious damage.
The adolescents broke into the St. Ambrose Catholic School at 363 SE 12 Ave., Deerfield Beach. Video surveillance shows the suspects walking around on the school grounds from June 21 – 23, 2013, but they were successful in gaining entry on June 23. The teenagers discharged several fire extinguishers throughout the classrooms and on the property. The group vandalized vending machines and threw paint on the furniture, computers and walls. During their stay they broke several cabinets and took the time to make themselves a meal, leaving their DNA on used utensils for detectives to gather as evidence. The juveniles were identified by an astute BSO school resource deputy (Dep. Williams) who recognized them through the surveillance video.
Suspect: Nicholas Knisely W/M 14 yoa – 1320 SE 3 St. #8, Deerfield Beach
Suspect: Santos Alvarado W/M 15 yoa – 1880 SE 48 St. #152, Pompano Beach
Suspect: Elvino Loriston B/M 14 yoa – 160 SE 10 St. #E, Deerfield Beach
All three juveniles were charged with:
Burglary structure (school)
Felony Criminal Mischief (over $1,000)

The Supreme Court's decision on Friday to review California's same-sex marriage ban disappointed some Golden State gay couples who would have been able to wed if the court refused to hear the case.
If the court had not taken the case, a federal appeals court ruling that had overturned the ban would have been the law of the state, opening the way to same-sex marriages in California and leaving the nation unchanged.
Now the Supreme Court could decide whether — or not — the U.S. Constitutional guarantees gays the right to marry.
The stakes are now higher, the wait is longer, and there is no certainty gay rights advocates will win.

Those golden macaroons behind the glass cases at coffeeshops like Gimme! Coffee, Irving Farm, and McNally Jackson Books? They all come from Danny Macaroons, and there are many reasons to love these gems. We'll start with the size, which is an ideal four-biter, not too big or small, just enough to accompany a warm latte. And then there there are the flavors. Salted caramel (pictured) is my go-to, but I return for flavors like German chocolate, roasted almonds, and red velvet. The macaroons boast a crunchy exterior and consistently moist, borderline creamy interior, so fresh and never too sweet. For the largest variety of flavors, order online or visit Danny Macaroons at Smorgasburg every Saturday.

As a native of Honolulu, I'm always on the lookout for made-in-Hawai'i products that, by some magical feat, make it all the way to the retail shelves of NYC. So cheers to Maui Preserved and their vanilla powder which is now stocked at One Lucky Duck. The ingredients are simple: 100% pure vanilla beans ground into a fine, fragrant powder. Careful when you open the jar, as that vanilla scent is heady. You can use it in any recipe that calls for vanilla—I like adding a teaspoon to homemade whipped cream and milkshakes.

Time for a new sig.
Just to clarify, this is not a Reggie vs Paul thread. Its the era of Miller which was pretty damn good for an entire decade vs what the current Pacers team's potential is with George & Hibbert.
It was also a time where his brother was alive. Easily could have been his brother's choice to go over, and the tax paid came from his brother's pockets.
Call me in 2027 when Paul George has finished his 18th season in a Pacers uniform...
I believe in this roster. Paul George, Roy Hibbert, George Hill, Lance, DWEST solid core for the next 5 years if we can keep intact.
My votes been placed. I echo others sentiments tho, Reggie will always be #1 at least until we raise a Banner.
If it takes until 2027 I may want to reconsider my nomination.
I doubt David West will be playing for the next 5 years. I think he will finish this contract and retire.
Why you Grimpin?
How about if the city pay's the LT? I'm sure it would pay itself back in the long term if we won multiple championships...
Maybe, or he might keep playing in a similar role as what Sam Perkins had for us, just with less 3's.
It's never too early to give an opinion on how you think/hope the George era will compare to the Miller era. That's why we're here, to give our opinions. Obviously, it's too soon to compare what George has done so far to what Reggie's teams accomplished, but that isn't the question being posed.
I think Paul George, and this group of guys, has an excellent chance to surpass what the Reggie-era teams accomplished. Mainly, by winning a title or two.
PG for sure, but it's too early to say for certain. Injuries can change everything.
Talent alone, it's no contest.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Rik Smiths > DWest lol I needed a good laugh. I just spit my coffee out reading that. David West is so much better not even close. Also the Rose Stephenson debate isn't fair. Lance is only 23 he can pass Jalen up.
It's early, but if I had to make a bet on it...Paul George will retire the best player in franchise history. Hopefully the best era too /fingerscrossed
1995 Rik was no joke, 2000 Rik was way over the hill.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
Fixed. It wasn't age, it was his feet. It's not like he was a post banger with a body breaking down from years of physical abuse.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
If they ever make a dvd about Paul Georges heroics then we will have this discussion. I love the kid but the things Reggie did cannot be duplicated.
Paul George has a long way to go to match Reggie. I do think the PG era could match Reggie's era, because of our young core.
Good is the enemy of Great
We're changing the identity of our basketball team -- dramatically. We're a power post team -- a blood-and-guts, old-school, smash-mouth team that plays with size, strength, speed and athleticism. We attack the basket. . . . This is the new identity of our team. It was a great effort. I'm very proud of our guys."
-- Frank Vogel.
I have no doubt a 20 yr old is more than qualified to discuss Rik Smits.......
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Smits vs West is very close. West is better on defense, but Rik was on an entirety different level offensively. 7-4 that had several post moves, and could consistently make outside shots up to 20ft. He was a matchup nightmare for opposing centers
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
It's too early to tell, he's like 24 years old!
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
Paul George is way better than Derrick McKey.
Smits was a better offensive weapon than Hibbert but overall Hibbert is the better player.
Mark Jackson and George Hill are not far apart. I might give Jackson the edge.
Miller is better than Lance Stephenson at this point.
DWest is better than DDavis
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
You're right it is close and that's a good way to compare them. It's better to compare Smits to West and DD to Hibbert. Smits was not a good defender but demanded a lot of double teams on offense that opened things up for our wing players. The bench on our 90's teams was far better though especially when you get to 97 with Mullin starting at the 3 and Antonio, Rose, Best and Mckey coming off the bench. This bench is much improved but the 90's bench alone gives the edge to that team.
Impossible Is Nothing
Not the original question, but for the record, Paul George is already a far better player than Reggie Miller ever was.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."

text: Schools gearing up 'Feed to Achieve' July 26, 2013 Story Share How can West Virginia have a problem with childhood hunger and childhood obesity at the same time?It's a question that comes up repeatedly as county school systems begin to carry out the Feed to Achieve Act approved by the Legislature earlier this year.Really, hunger and obesity are two sides of the same problem."What's happening is they're getting the calories, but they're not getting the proper calories," Mingo County Schools Superintendent Randy Keithley said of students recently.Of course, many adults know intimately how this works. People who are watching insulin resistance or diabetes know their bodies react differently to an egg compared to toast. And how many adults trying to drop weight shun the calories in soft drinks or pizza crust in favor of those in lean meat and broccoli?It is the same for kids, except children are still growing; they are expected to learn, behave and perform on command all day; and to a large extent, they don't control their schedules or what food is available to them.That's one of the reasons I was so pleased to see the Feed to Achieve Act pass. It is not enough to tell kids to choose foods that are best for their bodies. One must create opportunities for children to discover and enjoy those foods. The new law enables school systems to accept donations for projects to help feed hungry children. That's a nice thing, and at least one donation has come in -- $1,000 in Berkeley County.But the more significant part of this law requires county school systems to adopt alternative methods of serving meals that will get more young people eating."This conveys to our children that breakfast and lunch is an integral part of the school day," says Rick Goff, director of the state Education Department's Office of Child Nutrition. "It's not an interruption. It's part of the educational process." Grown-ups might take a bit longer to soak up that message. Today's working adults, after all, were conditioned from their own school days to see mealtimes as interruptions. Demands of work easily reinforce that attitude.Statewide, 60 percent of students come from families with incomes small enough to qualify for free or reduced price school meals. Only about 30 percent eat breakfast at school every day."The need is there," Goff said. "The hunger is there. But the meal is not readily available. Breakfast in public schools is at the worst possible time it could be, right at start up. Buses are arriving. The bell is ringing. Kids want to talk to their friends."But schools that have made changes -- such as serving breakfast after first period or offering bags students can take with them -- saw a difference right away in attendance and behavior.Students who eat breakfast at school have better attendance, fewer tardies, fewer behavioral problems, increased test scores and improved academic achievement, Goff said.In Berkeley County, Tracy Heck, director of child nutrition and wellness, said Musselman High School started offering breakfast after first period last year. They went from feeding about 100 students a day to almost 700 a day. The principal there has commented that late breakfast is so popular she could never get rid of it. She would have a rebellion on her hands, Heck said. Mingo's Keithley was one of several speakers at a webinar attended by about 100 people around the state carrying out the Feed to Achieve Act. "The first step is getting that sense of urgency out there," he said. In his county, 78.5 percent of students come from economically disadvantaged households."When you have parents or grandparents struggling to put a roof over their heads, trying to put a nutritious meal together on a very limited income can be very difficult. Not only that, but it might not be the highest priority."Children of any income level are too young and impetuous to realize that they have one body, and it's important to take care of it. That's as it should be. That's why they have adults to put good choices in front them, and to set good examples to serve in years to come.Miller, the Gazette's editorial page editor, can be reached at email@example.com.

Good evening, everyone—I'm honored to be here to help celebrate the 29th National Veterans Wheelchair Games and to say thanks to some very special people and organizations. Let me begin with:
Dr. Susan Pendergrass—Susan, thank you for that kind introduction, but more importantly, thank you and Sharon Helman for organizing these wheelchair games. I know that you both have full-time jobs as directors of Veterans Integrated Service network (VISN) 20 and the Spokane VA Medical Center, so organizing these games took enormous effort and leadership on your parts. For these games to come off smoothly, there are a tremendous number of details which must mesh perfectly. Many, many thanks to both of you and your staffs.
Shelly Monahan of KHQ, Channel 6 television, the local NBC affiliate—thank you for serving as our Mistress of Ceremonies this evening. Dinners like this do not come together naturally—you have shepherded us superbly. Thanks.
From our VA corporate headquarters in Washington, D.C.—our Diane Hartmann and her National Events staff—specifically, Tom Brown, director and co-founder of these Wheelchair Games—who, with a host of volunteers, have transformed Spokane, in just a matter of days, into a world class sports venue, capable of challenging the very best wheelchair athletes in the country for an entire week. Diane and her special events team spent the past year promoting and coordinating not only these games but also five other National Veterans Events: The Winter Sports Clinic in Colorado, the Golden Age Games in Alabama, the Creative Arts Festival in Loma Linda, California, and—for the first time last year—a National Veterans' Summer Sports Clinic in San Diego and, for disabled golfers, a National Veterans Tee Tournament in Iowa City, Iowa. A lot of heavy lifting goes on in this part of the VA, and Veterans are the beneficiaries.
At this point, I'd like to also acknowledge the very special contributions of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA)—our long-time partner in these Wheelchair Games. Randy Pleva, Dave Zurfluh, Doug Beckley, from PVA's Sports Program, and their many corporate sponsors and devoted volunteers—together, they make all this possible. Randy, Dave, Doug—many thanks for what PVA brings to these games.
Along with PVA, let me acknowledge the dedication and perseverance of our Veteran athletes—without them there would be no Wheelchair Games. Special welcome to the team from the United Kingdom, which is here for its 22nd games. I salute the courage and resilience of all these athletes.
Finally, I want to acknowledge and thank the citizens of the good city of Spokane—especially Mayor Mary Verner—for their support and enthusiasm in hosting these wheelchair games. You have been gracious in welcoming us; your hospitality and generosity have been simply magnificent. Many thanks for providing us this venue to thank, encourage, and celebrate our Veteran athletes.
These 29th National Veterans Wheelchair Games, you see, are all about heart—the generous hearts of sponsors and supporters, who underwrite these games, and of course, the valiant hearts of Veterans, who come to compete and demand the best from their competitors—their's are the biggest hearts of all!
I am reminded that Bob Hope once said, "If you haven't got charity in your heart, you've got the worst kind of heart trouble."
Well, tonight we're surrounded by a lot of healthy hearts, and you sponsors have been wonderful. Given the tough economic times, you could have rendered your regrets and quietly backed off. You did not—your support this year has been nothing short of magnificent.
These wheelchair games are about celebrating the triumph of the human spirit over physical adversity. Now, I know you've all heard these words before, and because they're so often repeated, they probably lose some of their significance, and may even sound trite. It's what you would expect the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to say. Well, let me say that if you've lived your lives where these Veterans live—having grown up with arms and legs and eyes and fully functioning brains and neurological systems and then having to adjust both physically and mentally to the challenge of their new normal—you would not hear the words "triumph of the human spirit over physical adversity" in quite the same way. They would mean a lot more, and you would be most appreciative of anyone, who gave you the opportunity to triumph over your adversities, if only for the moment.
For this inspiring week, and that's what it will be, an inspiring week, as sponsors of these Wheelchair Games you will provide disabled Veterans that opportunity to prove that life isn't over—it's just lived differently. You will be fulfilled by what your generosity makes possible. Whether your contribution is financial, in-kind, or you have volunteered your time and energy, you will see how these games have changed lives and advanced the rehabilitation of these Veterans. And your lives will be affected, as well.
So, to our corporate and non-profit sponsors, we thank you for opening your purses to support these games. There is enormous value in them for our paralyzed Veterans, and we are pleased that you have decided to help us make a difference for them. I cannot thank you enough for your help in allowing more than 500 Veterans, proud and unbowed by their disabilities, to compete in what has become the largest, annual wheelchair event in the world.
For those sponsors, who have not attended the games before, you will meet Veterans from World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the Gulf War, and ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. From the oldest members of our greatest generations to the youngest warriors of our latest generation, they are here to represent those who could not be here this week, or ever.
Because of their service in uniform, we are able to enjoy the blessings of freedom and liberty. And because of their determination, they are helping us all to redefine disability. The men and women who are competing this week do not suffer from a lack of determination, stamina, and will to overcome physical limitations. There are no disabilities here. In their lives, head and heart count even more than muscle and bone. They are here to compete, to experience the thrill of victory, and to enjoy the satisfaction of taking on some formidable competition. For them, it's about taking part in life—it's about living fully.
On behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs and America's 23-million Veterans, thank you for giving these very special men and women this rare opportunity to rise to the challenge and to grow in mind, body, and spirit.
God bless each of you. God bless our men and women in uniform. God bless our Veterans, and God bless our wonderful country.
Thank you.
