@basketballtalk: Russell Westbrook denies two halfcourt shots by Denvers mascot (VIDEO) http://t.co/D5II7FkR #PBT #NBA
I feel this is a bit misleading as a defense of Hibbert. You are giving him too much credit here. Hibbert made the allstar team by default. Most talked about player on a really good team that was putting up respectable numbers, given West and Granger had relatively off years.
Hibbert had 2 really bad offensive slumps last year, infact there were grumblings prior to the playoffs that the Pacers should let him walk in RFA. Hibbert did not have a very good playoffs, besides 1 game against the Magic that we actually lost if I recall. So really totally undeserving of the max contract, we totally overpaid by matching, and honestly the guy is barely squeaking by this year just cause he is playing high level defense and top 5 in blocked shots.
Centers who do not average a double double consistently should not get max contracts. Roy has a whole host of problems with this game. He gets knocked off the block, he brings the ball down too low on put backs, he gets knocked to the floor about 10 times a game.
Even though I like hibbert and hope he improves offensively to earn that contract. He is without a doubt the most overpaid player in the league right now. He is without a doubt one of the main reasons we can not win on the road this season.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Roy averaged 11.7 points on 50%FG, 11.2 rebounds and 3.1 blocks. He played stunning defense allowing the Pacers to beat Miami whenever he was on the court.
Roy had a GREAT playoffs.
The only thing Roy didn't do is score a lot of points, which was always a foolish desire from his fans. Roy should be efficient on offense but no one should have ever expected him to offer much on offense.
Kevin Durant is such a classy guy! That'll be the day when any Boston or Miami player owns up like that~
Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
We took a L...movin on, Denver is a good team! I Love my brothers we always compete hard
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
Per 36, Roy averaged 13 and 13 and 3.6. Just excellent performance across the board. Roy was GREAT in the playoffs. The MVP of the Pacers.
Lebron's currently in the process of sticking up for Sacramento on Twitter
Augustin got signed before Hill and Hibbert signed their deals. He had to because he also makes more money than the room exception allows.
I think the combination of Hibbert signing+Augustin+Hill's cap hold would have been enough to put the Pacers over the cap (with or without the Mahinmi trade). At the very least, it would have put them right up against the cap with no room to pay anybody else. So Hill signing later wouldn't have affected that.
So it really just depends on if you think the Pacers could have indefinitely pushed back Hibbert's signing for amnestied players and to give time for other player's prices to come down. From the statements that have come out about amnestied players, I happen to think they were getting pressure to get the Hibbert deal done and couldn't have delayed it, but at the end of the day there isn't conclusive proof on either side of that debate.

I wish the same as well
I could give more player suggestions if I had a way to know which players were nearing the end of their contracts.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
The reason that they couldn't afford Harden was simple. No team can afford 4 real MAX contracts. Because Westbrook, Durant, Harden and Ibaka all deserved a max contract.
Essentially, they were penalized for drafting well.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Rudy Gay: A bit over $80M over 5 years -> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5346332
Andre Iguodala: $80M over 6 years -> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3532139
Luol Deng: $71M over 6 years -> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3510232
Danny Granger: $60M over 5 years (with incentives that could push it to $65M) -> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3676045
Nicolas Batum: $46M over 4 years -> http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/81...-nicolas-batum
Rudy Gay is overpaid as he was signed to this contract due to potential and he failed to improve his production. Andre Iguodala may be slightly overpaid by 1 or 2 millions. Not a big deal.
The rest are paid fairly.
In fact, the two players had similar production before Hibbert's drop in scoring this seaso.
Thus, he was paid fairly like Marc.
Hinrich is 32 years old and he's averaging 6.3 PPG and 5.2 APG. At this point of his career he is a dependable back-up. Not a starter. He is a good stopgap for Chicago until Rose returns and he is good veteran but that's about it.
Jarret Jack is certainly underpaid at this point. He is probably too good to be a backup at this point.
The Pacers were looking for their PG of the future and they consider Hill to be that guy. The one that will grow with their core of PG and Roy. His contract is reasonable for his role.
In overall, I don't consider Hill overpaid. He's a bit cheaper than Conley and they're on a similar level. I certainly consider Jarret Jack underpaid, though.
However, I do believe that having a rim protector in the second unit can be a difference between winning a championship or not.
It's strange how we both do the same thing and yet you find the majority of our roster overpaid whereas I do not find anyone overpaid
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
They'd have to give them Parsons. The Grizz would trade ZBo for a 3 point shooter. So, they would probably ask for Parsons + Delfino + picks.
Just my opinion, of course.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
If he played for 36 minutes he would average a double double.
Paul George is the reason we cannot win on the road. He is only shooting 26.2% from 3 on the road and that kills our spacing.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Sure you have to take back salary, but not necessarily over three years. We can afford Green over two years (even double his salary), not the third though when all the key contracts come up. Based upon my recollection, CBA deals have to be within 40% now, so we could give up Green making $3.5M over three years and a filler salary and take back a similarily bad contract making appx. 6-8M over two years. We may pay more in total dollars, but we are free and clear the third year. The other teams pays less each year and in total dollars, but has a third year. It depends on each teams situation. Green is not vastly overpaid - I think there are a few teams out there still likely intrigued by his potential and could use him as a third wing. Based upon our financial circumstances and the fact we have three superior wings already, he's just not a good fit here.
You don't think a team like the Kings would give us a bad contract like Salmons ($7-8M this year and next) for Green, filler, and a 2nd rounder? I do. They save money over the long haul and cap space this year and next.
Caron Butler (2 years 8M) who is losing his minutes to Barnes on a LAC team desperate to shed LT salary for next year when CP3 and Blake are getting new deals. 3.5M vs 8.0M is a HUGE nut for them next year.
Trevor Ariza, Klieza, Brandon Roy, Charlie Villenueva. There are plenty of equally terrible contracts making more on two year deals than Green over three. It's not as difficult as you think.
Edit: I should have been more clear after reading my original post. I do not expect to straight salary dump Green, just look at options to shed that final year.

As someone pointed out in a different thread. ALL players are overpaid. The discussion is whether or not it's overpaid for the market, not whether they're just simply overpaid.
He scores more (on more FGA) and rebounds more at home but for whatever reason he mightily strugggles to shoot in Indiana.

Clay Bennett chairs the league's Relocation Committee. Gotta love this league.
Another thing I like about Danny's return is that I am almost sure he will help us a lot with our road woes.
Danny can certainly be a BAMF. Won't forget the show he put up against the Wolves and Love last season. But it was those pills we were taking, right?
PS: Actually there is only one thing that I hate about Danny's game. Those mid range shots he takes in the midst of a fast break.

If this happens, I think it all but seals that Shaw will get the head coaching gig there.

Wow, gotta love the guy for being a Pacer fan but Stephon Marbuary at SF? And Salim at SG? Haha. Only in High School basketball would you see a 6'2 player at SF and last time I checked Marbuary is not in HS.
I can see Marbury guarding Pierce or Marion right now..And it isn't a pretty site.

Well I see getting shot on the freeway will result in an 8 hour shut down of all lanes.
Jump off an over-pass and get killed will shut down the freeway for 145 minutes.

I cannot express enough with my comment how much I enjoyed this course or how much valuable information it involves. I would like all my friends to take it and have their teenage kids read over this valuable information. I strongly believe that this course is easy enough to understand and should be taught in High Schools. Very interesting, very easy to understand, and great information. Thank you so much.
I learned a lot from your course and I now feel that I have the knowledge to start working toward saving for my future. Thank you!
I learned so much from taking the Personal Finance course and feel more confident now about managing my personal finances. Thank you Gail! Kudos to you.
I'm really glad I took this course. It gave me so much insight on my personal financial planning. There are so many things to do in financial planning and this course gave me a roadmap where to start. There are so many things to learn, understand and apply not just for myself but also for my family.
I think this is a class that should be required especially for students just entering college as a way to help them understand their finances better at an early age.
Thank You, I have enjoyed learning more on how to take control of my family's finances, how to look forward to the future and have a greater understanding on how things work.
The material was well prepared. I generally liked the writing style. The exercises were excellent and thought-provoking and forced me to examine areas of my personal finances that I was unaware of or had been procrastinating about. This was my first experience with online learning and I am very impressed. Keep up the good work.
This has been a very well rounded course for all areas of one's life. I wish I had taken something like this 30 years ago, so I didn't have to learn about most of it the hard way, or not having missed learning about it completely. It gives someone a good foundation about the many ways to protect oneself, maximum earnings potential, and preparing for what's to come with the right tools. There's nothing more disturbing than having opportunities slip through your fingers, when with a little knowledge, you can plan and make the most of your own finances and take control of the outcome of your own well being. Thank you very much for this thorough course.
I took your business finance class last summer and loved it. Taking the class and understanding my finance software helped me to ger a good high paying job!
Thank you for the class. It was very clear and easy to follow. I have taken several of the online classes and this one was the best one so far. I learned a lot and realized I was not too far off our goal. I'm going to try my hand at one of the other courseds you mentioned in Lesson 12.

5 of 8 - The Secret to a Worshipful Life - Billy Crone
Even though God's the same God and we're just as much His children as the great heroes of the faith were, today it seems that most Christians read the Bible in one hand and take a look at their life in the other saying, "Man, something's missing here. Something's not right. Why did those people get to have an amazing walk with God and here I am fumbling around in the dark?" Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way. The Secret To A Worshipful Life reveals how an amazing walk with the Lord really is available to every single Christian by making up our minds to worship God with all of our lives, including our lips. Here you'll discover four harmful side affects that a life of complaining produces in that Complaining Affects You, Complaining Affects Others, Complaining Affects the Gospel, and believe it or not, Complaining Affects God. So if you're tired of reading the Bible in one hand and looking at your life in the other saying, "I don't have a life worth living for. I've got a life worth giving up!" then please learn The Secret To A Worshipful Life and start being that Biblical hero today!

DON'T Panic! That is the message from Newport County AFC striker Rene Howe ahead of today's crunch clash with Wycombe Wanderers, writes Andrew Penman.
County need to win or at least avoid defeat to keep out of the relegation dogfight at the foot of League Two but Howe says the players are confident that they will prevail.
"Nothing is going for us at the minute but we've got a few more games to put it right," said Howe, who arrived at Rodney Parade from Burton Albion in January.
"I think we should be safe now but we probably just need another win to make sure.
"We don't want to be sucked in any deeper but we can't panic because that will just make things worse.
"I don't think the lads are panicking. We've just got to beat Wycombe and then we can look back on a good season.
"To stay in the league is what you want when you've just come up," he added.
"Being in and around the play-offs was nice but we just want to finish the season on a high now and give the fans something to cheer about."
Howe came off the bench in Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat to promotion hopefuls Plymouth Argyle and he's raring to go if he gets a start this afternoon.
"I've had some personal issues that I had to sort out and the gaffer was very understanding and helped me out," he said about his absence from the team in recent weeks.
"I'm ready to play again when called upon and I want to help us to end the season on a high.
"It's been tough to watch the lads giving it their all and coming away with no reward.
"We need to build up some momentum in the final five games now and hopefully carry that over to the start of next season.
"I'm contracted for next year and I'm looking forward to having a good pre-season with the club, which will really help me."

Crash closes Nanaimo Parkway
A Nanaimo woman was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital Thursday after her car collided with a transport truck.
The accident happened shortly before 3 p.m. when the 25-year-old woman drove her Hyundai Tiburon eastbound from College Drive across the Nanaimo Parkway intersection toward Fifth Street and collided with a 10-ton Mack transport truck carrying a load of live seafood, police said.
The woman's car appeared to have been hit on the passenger side and sustained heavy damage.
The impact carried both vehicles about 25 metres north of the intersection and came to a halt with the car facing northbound in the passing lane and the truck straddling the concrete median barriers.
The woman was rushed to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and then airlifted to Victoria General Hospital.
"She's got significant head injuries," said Const. Gary O'Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. "She was medevacced to Victoria. The family has been advised."
No injuries were reported to have been sustained by the male driver of the transport truck.
No other vehicles were involved.
Police closed north and southbound lanes of the Parkway for about 30 minutes until emergency vehicles could clear the scene. The southbound lanes remained closed and Parkway traffic was rerouted through town until until about 5:30 p.m.
Police are still trying to determine who had the right of way at the intersection and the factors that lead to the accident are still under investigation.

Flanker Luke Wallace is a young Quin with a bright future, according to television pundit Dean Ryan.
The former Tonbridge School student shone last season when more established players were away at the World Cup and picked up a nomination for the Premiership Rugby Discovery of the Season award.
Wallace made 15 starts and nine appearances off the bench for Quins, scoring four tries in the process, but found his position in the first XV blocked by skipper Chris Robshaw and Maurie Fa'asavalu.
But Ryan believes this year could see the former JP Morgan Sevens star can establish himself for years to come at the Stoop.
"I don't see a lot of changes in that group because they were so successful last year, but I think Wallace is going to be a real star," said Ryan, who developed young talent as Gloucester's director of rugby.
"He played some decent rugby last year and looking at it from an England perspective there's not a huge amount of sevens around.
"Wallace has got to kick on this year to be a regular in the Quins side. It will be tough for him, with Chris Robshaw in there, but he is flexible and needs to play in the big games now."
The J.P. Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s Series kicks off on 13 July at Harlequins, with rounds at Sale Sharks and Gloucester Rugby, and the final at Bath Rugby. Visit: www.jpmorgan7s.com to find out more.

One millionaire's take on the Buffett Rule
Joel is a venture capitalist whose firm invests in the health care industry. He's a wealthy man—but the way he sees it, a fair economy is more important than preserving special rules in the tax code for millionaires like himself.
"Not since the early 20th century has our country experienced the wage gap between the best-paid Americans and average wage earners that exists today," Joel said. "Worse, the concentration of assets in the hands of a few has likely not been worse since the Roaring '20s. At the same time, the average millionaire is paying an effective tax rate of less than 20 percent because of the tax breaks we can use that few average Americans can."
Joel says part of the solution is in President Obama's Buffett Rule, which would make millionaires pay their fair share in taxes. Even though Joel will have to pay a higher tax rate if the law is passed, he understands what improving tax fairness can help accomplish in the long run.
"The revenue from the Buffett Rule should be used to restore and increase investments in education, to make our public schools the envy of the world once again, develop clean energy so we do not spend trillions on foreign sources of oil, and fix the infrastructure that makes commerce move."
To Joel, the Buffett Rule is just common sense. And as it comes to a vote in Congress, Joel thinks it should be a no-brainer.
"Anyone who opposes the Buffett Rule is either among the super-rich and just doesn't care about the future or doesn't understand the economics of what the wealthy pay. Is it really right for a family with income of $1 million or more to pay the same effective rate as one that makes $100,000? And what is the right response? To cut programs for all, or raise rates on those that can best afford it?"
Millionaires like Joel know that paying their fair share is the right thing to do. Commit to stand with him—and with President Obama—to level the playing field for middle-class families.

Invest in Your Own Backyard
Lean Times May Be the Best Time to Spend on Enterprise Integration
By Paul J. Galeski, PE, CAP
As every business executive knows all too well, high-return, low-risk investments are hard, if not impossible, to find these days. The economy continues to look uncertain at best, with the stock market having reached its lowest level in many years, and numerous companies declaring bankruptcy, including American icons like General Motors and Chrysler.
The implications for manufacturing capital expenditures are clear. In a 2008 Bank of America Business Capital survey, 40% of manufacturing company CFOs reported that they planned to decrease or postpone their capital expenditures in 2009. (To read 2009 CFO Outlook: A Survey of Manufacturing Company CFOs in 2008, by Bank of America Corp., July '09, visit www.bofasecurities.com/publicpdf/landing/cfooutlook/Final_PDF.pdf.)
Capital expenditures (Capex) may seem like discretionary costs that could be eliminated during these lean times. However, if you have a cash surplus in your business and/or borrowing power, now is the perfect time to invest. And your best opportunity—with lower risk and higher returns—is to invest in your own interests in the fields of automation and enterprise integration.
Recent events and scandals show that you can't control investments in outside firms and markets. With trust and transparency at an all-time low, the traditional risk/reward profile is just too unbalanced. However, you can control an investment in yourself (Figure 1). You determine the type of investment and the rewards you'll reap. Pick your own return (Figure 2).
Make your move now, before the economy heats up, and while interest rates are still low. Take advantage of the slowdown, and use your time to research the best investments and deploy capital in the best way possible. If you do it right, you'll outmaneuver any competitors, and emerge from this economic recession in a much stronger strategic position.
The State of Manufacturing Automation
Generally speaking, manufacturing technology was restricted to plant operations for most of the past 25 years. Manufacturers stayed focused on their production lines and whatever they needed to do to fulfill the day's work orders. But today's technologies, including manufacturing execution and enterprise resource planning systems, are much more easily integrated, making it possible for manufacturing organizations to think about their operations holistically. When information flows across the boundaries of functional business silos, business processes become streamlined, eliminating waste of many kinds, reducing costs and driving efficiency throughout the enterprise. To achieve maximum business results, organizations must integrate their operations horizontally—across the entire enterprise, and also do it vertically—from the plant floor to the board room.
Another benefit of enterprise integration and automation is knowledge management. A company should (and must) own the intellectual property of the business. That intellectual property includes the "tribal knowledge" that is required and used daily to operate a manufacturing facility effectively, efficiently and safely. In many cases, this tribal knowledge lies in the hands and heads of the workforce. Unless robust and comprehensive systems are in place to capture and maintain that knowledge, the business is at risk.
This is not a risk that you can buy insurance for. Your "premium" for mitigating this very real risk is the investment required to put in place and maintain the necessary business processes and technology for ongoing knowledge management. Arguably, the loss of intellectual property through a "knowledge disturbance" is at least as likely and potentially will have more impact than that of traditional business interruptions such as weather. In essence, your intellectual property goes home every evening, and may not come back for many reasons, including retirement, resignation or health problems. As many manufacturing businesses face an aging workforce, the timing of addressing the knowledge management issue becomes even more critical.
Business transformation and integration projects are always challenging, but are particularly difficult when you're busy expanding and growing, so consider moving forward now. Bridge the gap between today's low productivity and tomorrow's high demand by integrating and improving the entire manufacturing enterprise.
Factors That Impact Manufacturing Efficiency
As if the slow economy weren't enough of a challenge, manufacturers must also contend with a range of other factors that limit profitability. Production requires much more than the push of a button, and each variable has the potential to affect efficiency. Many of these variables relate to customer demands and rising complexity in the marketplace.
The most common factors that affect manufacturing efficiency include:
- Product customization—Increased demand for custom products requires custom and flexible manufacturing and supply chain processes.
- Real-time decision-making—Customers and suppliers expect manufacturers to respond to marketplace changes with ever-increasing speed and agility.
- Global supply chains—Worldwide sourcing, global distribution and localized production add complexity to supply chains and threaten product flow efficiency.
- Regulatory compliance—Environmental controls and other regulations may restrict outputs and yields or require more production time.
- Product genealogy and traceability—For safety, compliance and quality reasons, manufacturers must track raw materials all the way through production and delivery to the end user.
- Supply and demand rationalization—Link your orders in real time and new business pipeline directly to your production plan and operations.

Hello all,
I've come to Thailand in order to ordain; I had intended for some years to do this, but the opportunity had only recently presented itself. I've been to a few monasteries here in Thailand, but I am not particularly satisfied with them. The things most important for me are: a decent standard of Vinaya, but without obsessiveness; a modest number of monks; and a certain degree of independence. I'd like to avoid the big, popular wats--if the meditation hall's size necessitates a bank of loudspeakers, then the place just isn't for me. I am, in short, looking for a place that's a bit off the beaten track. Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

BWW TV Exclusive: Meet A TIME TO KILL's 'Ellen Roark'
Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes' stage adaptation of A Time To Kill, based on John Grisham's best-selling novel, is currently in previews on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street). This new Broadway play holds the distinction of being the first-ever John Grishamproperty to be adapted for the stage. Ethan McSweeny directs. Sebastian Arcelus, Chike Johnson,Patrick Page, Tony Award winner Tonya Pinkins, Emmy Award winner Tom Skerritt, Fred DaltonThompson, John Douglas Thompson, and Ashley Williams plus Jeffrey M. Bender, Dashiell Eaves,J.R. Horne, John Procaccino, Tijuana Ricks, and Lee Sellars will star. A Time To Kill is produced by Tony Award winner Daryl Roth and Eva Price. Opening night is set for Sunday, October 20, 2013.
Below, we bring you an exclusive first look at 'Ellen Roark', played by Ashley Williams.
A Time to Kill tells the emotionally charged, incendiary story of a young, idealistic lawyer, Jake Brigance, defending a black man, Carl Lee Hailey, for taking the law into his own hands following an unspeakable crime committed against his young daughter. Their small Mississippi town is thrown into upheaval, and Jake finds himself arguing against the formidable district attorney, Rufus Buckley, and under attack from both sides of a racially divided city. This thrilling courtroom drama remains as grippingly relevant today as it was when Grisham's story was first published in 1989.

Children from Oakworth, Harden, East Morton and Cullingworth performed last week at St George's Hall in Bradford.
Pupils from the village primary schools were among hundreds of youngsters taking part in the annual Schools Prom.
The Harden and Oakworth pupils were among a 260-strong primary school chorus which performed during the first of the two evening concerts.
The second night's primary school chorus included children from Cullingworth and East Morton schools.
The prom, organised by Bradford Council's arts and music service, also saw choirs, bands, orchestras and soloists perform. The event was compered by TV presenter David Payne. The prom, now in its 13th year, gives children a chance to perform on the same stage as many major orchestras, bands and recording stars.
Felicity French, the council's head of ensemble provision, said: "This event provides the opportunity for as many children as possible to perform in the most prestigious stage in Bradford.
"Some might not get the chance to perform on a stage like this again. It is a wonderful opportunity to have."
Coun Ralph Berry, executive member for children's services at the council, said: "The prom is always a well-attended, hugely successful event and we are so proud to host it each year and demonstrate the support which is given to schools and pupils to embrace this talent."

Lake County Free Clinic released a report this week showing it provided $1.4 million in medical and dental care to more than 3,000 patients in 2012.
With an annual budget of less than $400,000, the value of services provided last year represented a good return on that investment, Executive Director Johanna Henz said.
Donations to the clinic come from a variety or sources mostly through private foundations, individual donors and patient donations, she said. Fundraisers also help to support the agency.
"We take our responsibility as good stewards of our donors' investments very seriously," Henz said. "The services we offer are cost-effective. Preventive and/or early treatment costs less than treating more severe illness."
Demand for the clinic's services has risen an average of 30 percent each year for the past several years, and is expected to increase even more in the future, she said.
"There is a real misperception that the Affordable Care Act is going to make free clinics unnecessary and obsolete," Henz said. "In reality, that could not be further from the truth."
The clinic does not charge a fee for any of its services although patients are asked to consider making a donation, and most do, she said.
Patients mostly have jobs but are not offered benefits through their employer or are unable to pay their premium, deductible, or co-payments, Henz said.
In addition, many patients take multiple medications, making their monthly co-payment costs much higher.
The clinic located in Painesville has been in existence since 1971 and has four full-time and two part-time employees, Henz said. It relies heavily on work by volunteers including all of the clinic's physicians.
The goal is to stretch dollars as far as possible and to see as many patients as possible, but not at the cost of quality.
Most volunteer physicians at the clinic hold full-time positions at other major medical facilities or their own private practices and are drawn to the work at the clinic because they want to help make people healthy, Henz said.
Patients are able to get care without the worry about cost, and before their illness progresses, she said. In the case of those with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, patients are able to receive life-sustaining medication and supplies.
The clinic offers medical services for acute and chronic conditions for adults and children, and makes sure that patients are able to get all the laboratory work and medications they need to get and stay healthy.
Comprehensive dental services for children as well as tooth extractions for adults also are offered at no charge.

There's a new "freedom" that could soon be added to Missouri's Constitution – the right to farm.
According to the Associated Press, many in the state want to declare farming a "right" at the state level in Missouri as part of a wider campaign to fortify the industry against animal right activists and opponents of genetically modified crops.
"A couple of years from now, we might say this was the beginning of the trend," Rusty Rumley, a senior staff attorney at the National Agricultural Law Center in Fayetteville, Ark., told the Associated Press. "But we really don't even know what they're going to mean."
In Missouri, that means protecting the state's $11 billion per year industry from attacks made by out-of-state interest groups, such as the HSUS-backed Proposition B in 2010, which sought to change some of the rules for operating "puppy mills" in the state; however, many within the industry feared it was a foot-in-the-door "domestic animal" regulation, which could also include livestock.
"If out-of-state interests can limit a dog breeder to 50 dogs, why not limit a hog farm to 50 hogs? Or a cattle ranch to 50 cattle? Or an accounting firm to 50 accountants?" Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said in an article from the Fulton (Mo.) Sun.
The right-to-farm movement has been successful in many other states across the Corn Belt, including North Dakota and Indiana. A similar measure passed through both chambers of the Oklahoma Legislature earlier this year before dying in a conference committee.
Some within the industry, such as Missouri farmer Neal Bredehoeft, stands behind Amendment One, better known as the "Right to Farm."
"Agriculture's had a lot folks that's been trying to come down on our farms and tell us what we can and cannot do," said Bredehoeft. "This gives us a little bit of protection."
Read, "Agriculture industry seeks to create right to farm."
Not everyone within the industry supports the move. Wes Shoemyer, a Missouri farmer, former state senator, and founder of the group Missouri's Food for America, believes the potential for lawsuits is one reason to vote against the amendment.
"All these regulations that are in statute today will be subject to a court challenge," Shoemyer said. "When someone is given a constitutional right, it's their right to do what they want on their land, subject to definition by the courts," he said.
Groups outside of the state have chimed in as well. The Iowa Pork Producers Association points that Iowa doesn't need a similar measure.
"We're aware of the right-to-farm amendment in Missouri … but we're getting along just fine without an amendment," Ron Birkenholz, a spokesman for the IPPA, told the Des Moines Register. "Iowa is an agricultural state, and we've been farming for centuries without problems."
Politicians are also divided on the measure. Missouri Gov. Gay Nixon broke his silence on the subject last week, announcing he was leaning toward opposing the measure. Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, however, supports the amendment.
Amendment One goes to Missouri voters in an Aug. 5 election.

A PUB landlord was punched in the face as he tried to eject three women who had been causing a disturbance.
Magistrates heard that Alex Holden had earlier been hit over the head with a glass by one of the women at the Imperial on Blackburn Road, Accrington.
Cassey Bolton, 24, of Moorlands Fields, York, pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Holden and was remanded on bail.
Tom Snape, prosecuting, said the women had been smoking in the pub and had caused a disturbance when asked to stop. Mr Holden went over and told them to leave.
Bolton refused and as Mr Holden was talking to her, one of her friends came up behind and hit him on the back of the head with a glass.
Bolton struggled as she was being taken outside and then lashed out, punching Mr Holden in the face.
The magistrates ordered the preparation of a pre-sentence report after hearing that Bolton had previous convictions for assault, being drunk and disorderly, affray and wounding.

Darren Collison is averaging 20 & 8 since Chris Paul went down. According to Sham Sports they've got nearly $72M tied up in only 11 players next year. I could see a scenario in the offseason where Collison is used as incentive to get a team to take on Okafor's contract.
The big "what if" is if Collison keeps playing like a stud. If so, I've heard some people suggest New Orleans could move Chris Paul in the offseason. The Hornets are going nowhere, so it may be time to think about a rebuilding. If so, we could offer a great package centered around our pick and an assload of salary relief. Not many teams could offer a package that enticing, and it's perfect for a team looking to rebuild.
Chris Paul
Emeka Okafor (salary dump)
Troy Murphy (expiring)
T.J. Ford (expiring)
2010 1st Round Pick (likely no lower than #5)
2012 1st Round Pick
2010-2011 Pacers: Chris Paul - Brandon Rush - Danny Granger - Emeka Okafor - Roy Hibbert
A lot of wild speculation, I know, but I don't think it's completely unrealistic. If Collison continues to look great I could see New Orleans, realizing they're going nowhere in a hurry, entertaining offers for Paul and his iffy knee, and as I said, we could put up a pretty damn good one.


text: There is match-fixing in tennis says British No.1 Andy MurrayAndy Murray today sensationally claimed that tennis is "fixed" and that everyone on the professional circuit knows matches are being affected by gambling.He said: "It's pretty disappointing for all the players but everyone knows it goes on."The sport has been tainted by controversy in recent weeks with the ATP, the men's tour's governing body, investigating betting patterns concerning a match in Poland between Nikolay Davydenko and Martin Vassallo Arguello.The Russian's price drifted out despite him winning the first set and he later pulled out of the match due to injury, although Davydenko denies any wrongdoing.Novak Djokovic recently claimed he was offered a £110,000 bribe to lose a first-round match in St Petersburg while journeyman Belgian Gilles Elseneer revealed that he rejected an offer of £70,000 to throw a match at Wimbledon in 2005.With horse racing currently being dragged through the mire by the start of the Kieren Fallon race-fixing trial, Murray now fears tennis is at risk as the temptation to cheat is too great for players struggling at the lower end of the circuit.Speaking ahead of the Kremlin Cup, in Moscow, he added: "It doesn't surprise me. Some guys come to tournaments like this every single week and the first-round loser's cheque is sort of €2,500 and they have got to pay for their air fares and, you know, it's only a 10 or 12-year career so you have to make all your money while you're still playing."But the British No1 told Radio Five Live he feels the nature of the sport makes it difficult to prove when someone is trying to engineer an outcome.Murray admitted: "It's difficult to prove because they can try their best until the last couple of games of each set and then make some mistakes, a couple of double faults, and that's it."

Dave Eggers' brilliant new novel The Circle explores the culture of forced consensus and hypersurveillance.
Dave Eggers is a brilliant novelist, and his previous works have certainly captured my imagination, but with his newest book, The Circle, to be published October 8th, he hits a note that particularly resonates in our "everywhere-at-once" culture. The protagonist, Mae, goes to work for a large social networking colossus, and while she is initially impressed by the splendor and grandeur of her corporate surroundings, she soon finds herself being seduced into a culture of continual updates, shared personal information, and an endless chain of "social connections" and roving video cameras that render humanity virtually obsolete.
As with George Orwell's 1984, which The Circle is often compared to, but also Joseph Heller's brilliant 1974 novel Something Happened, which has somehow disappeared from the canon of 20th century fiction, and is perhaps the most unsparing exposé of corporate culture the literary world has ever produced, The Circle unsparingly documents the false bonhomie, the lies, the surface "friendliness" that lies at thedark heart of corporate culture, where people are almost instantly disposable unless they go along with the group, as in 1984.
The New York Times Magazine published a lengthy excerpt from the book this past Sunday, and thankfully, it's online, so I can link to it both here, and on the image above. It's supposed to be fiction, of course, but it's all too close to the truth in the way that contemporary corporations treat their employees, as endless extensions of their culture, while denying them a life of their own. The excerpt begins with these words:
"My God, Mae thought. It's heaven. The campus was vast and rambling, wild with Pacific color, and yet the smallest detail had been carefully considered, shaped by the most eloquent hands. On land that had once been a shipyard, then a drive-in movie theater, then a flea market, then blight, there were now soft green hills and a Calatrava fountain. And a picnic area, with tables arranged in concentric circles. And tennis courts, clay and grass. And a volleyball court, where tiny children from the company's day care center were running, squealing, weaving like water. Amid all this was a workplace, too, 400 acres of brushed steel and glass on the headquarters of the most influential company in the world. The sky above was spotless and blue.
Mae was making her way through all of this, walking from the parking lot to the main hall, trying to look as if she belonged. The walkway wound around lemon and orange trees, and its quiet red cobblestones were replaced, occasionally, by tiles with imploring messages of inspiration. 'Dream,' one said, the word laser-cut into the stone. 'Participate,' said another. There were dozens: 'Find Community.' 'Innovate.' 'Imagine.' She just missed stepping on the hand of a young man in a gray jumpsuit; he was installing a new stone that said, 'Breathe.'
On a sunny Monday in June, Mae stopped in front of the main door, standing below the logo etched into the glass above. Though the company was less than six years old, its name and logo — a circle surrounding a knitted grid, with a small 'c' in the center — were already among the best known in the world. There were more than 10,000 employees on this, the main campus, but the Circle had offices all over the globe and was hiring hundreds of gifted young minds every week. It had been voted the world's most admired company four years running."
Of course, many of the reviewers thus far have remarked on the implicit irony of reading a book about social networking, and then immediately going on to Twitter or Facebook to "share" the news with others. But since I have no Facebook account, and don't Tweet, I'll confine my comments to this blog, which is more than enough. I'm more a fan of history than fiction, but this is fiction that is also the present truth, if only we take a closer look at it.
You can read the rest of the excerpt by clicking here; better yet, buy the book and zoom through the whole thing. It's a frightening, prophetic page turner, and you literally won't be able to put The Circle down; it's essential reading.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities in eastern New York and Connecticut have issued an Amber Alert for a father they say took his child from daycare after a physical fight with the mother.
Police say 27-year-old Frederick McCluskey abducted his 4-year-old son, also named Frederick, just before 9 a.m. Friday in the Ulster County town of Marlboro and has threatened to hurt himself or the child.
The alert says McCluskey is 6-feet-3-inches tall, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans. The boy is 4-feet tall, weighs 50 pounds and was wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. He has a small scar under his right eye.
Authorities say McCluskey was driving a red, 2-door 1989 Honda Civic hatchback with the New York plate FHX9276.
Anyone with information is asked to call 866-NYS-AMBER or 911.

LAFAYETTE — A bail reduction hearing scheduled for Seth Fontenot was postponed Wednesday after prosecutors questioned whether the judge is too close to some people involved in Fontenot's capital murder case.
State District Judge Herman Clause disclosed that he has distant connections to two people closely tied to the case where Fontenot, 18, is accused of shooting at a fleeing pickup truck Feb. 10, killing a 15-year-old high school freshman and injuring two other teens.
Clause disclosed that he was a family friend of the mother of one of the two injured teens, a woman he said he hadn't spoken to in 30 years. Clause also said Fontenot's girlfriend attends the same church as he does, though he doesn't know her.
Jay Prather, an assistant district attorney, said Clause's disclosure was new to him and Assistant District Attorney Mark Garber.
Garber told Clause that "out of an abundance of caution" the District Attorney's Office planned to file papers to have Clause recused from handling the matter. Prosecutors were told to have the motion filed before 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Clause reset the bond reduction hearing for 1:30 p.m. Thursday, but it is undetermined whether he will remain the judge in the highly charged drama.
An overflow crowd caused 15th Judicial Court District officials to relocate twice to larger courtrooms to accommodate the 150 to 200 spectators who attended.
Lafayette police have said in an affidavit that Fontenot confessed to firing three shots at a fleeing vehicle "he believed to contain suspects" whom he had seen on his property, where his truck had been broken into multiple times.
"Mr. Fontenot stated that his intentions were to only scare the victims, not to inflict bodily harm and/or death," Detective Larry Theriot wrote in the affidavit.
Fontenot's sister, mother, stepfather and other family members sat in the row immediately behind a tearful Fontenot, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit and sandals and shackled at the wrists and ankles.
On the row behind the prosecutors were the mother, father and other family members of Austin Rivault, the St. Thomas More Catholic High School student who died Feb. 10.
Family members and friends of the defendant and the victim declined to comment outside the courtroom.
Fontenot's attorney, Thomas Guilbeau, said prosecutors were employing delay tactics designed to keep his client in jail "wrongfully."
Fontenot is being held on one count of first-degree murder, for which no bail has been set, and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, which each carry bail amounts of $500,000.
Guilbeau filed motions last week seeking a hearing to set the murder charge bail at $25,000 and each of the attempted murder charges at $12,500.
"My client's been in jail for 10 days, wrongfully," Guilbeau said Wednesday after the bail reduction hearing was postponed. "… This is just about delay, delay, delay."
Guilbeau said prosecutors want to keep Fontenot in jail until a grand jury convenes in mid-March.
Fontenot has not been formally charged by the District Attorney's Office or by a grand jury, though he is being held in jail without bond in a capital murder case.
Outside the courtroom, Guilbeau said that a more appropriate charge against Fontenot would be negligent homicide or manslaughter.
Fontenot was arrested outside the River Ranch restaurant where he was employed at just before noon Feb. 10, a Sunday.
In the affidavit leading to Fontenot's arrest, a Lafayette police detective wrote that in the dark, early hours of Feb. 10, Fontenot used a Beretta handgun to fire three shots at a fleeing pickup truck. Inside the truck were Rivault and the two other teens, whom police have not identified.
Guilbeau said that after Fontenot was arrested, he gave a 65-page statement to police. "He wasn't told until page 9 that he killed a guy," Guilbeau said.

The video for "Give" is filmed by bridges, viaducts, the El Train and shattered buildings of Chicago as the real life stories of these teens are captured. Through the video, Rimes hopes to raise awareness for the Stand Up For Kids organization, which helps less-fortunate children across America find homes and shelters."Wow, what an eye opening and moving experience I'm having today," Leann tweeted. "(I cried) just once and it was from a kid saying he felt lonely & he had no friends. My heart broke." Rimes recently revealed on her Twitter page that she plans on moving to Chicago in order to be with husband Eddie Cibrian as he films his new television show The Playboy Club. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com The 10 Highest Grossing Films: From Modern Classics To Jar Jar Binks

Sometimes, Polian makes the right decisions. He's just not one to pay big $$ for linebackers.

Smith and Posluszny are pretty good they over paid Paul. But ya their GM is a moron if you take your LBs out when you go to dime or nickle maybe they should have signed a nickle corner instead of Session.
Yep Bill Polian is a friggin moron just for once it has nothing to do with Clint Session being on the Jags

Midwestern gardeners who aim to create native landscapes that provide important habitat to birds and other wildlife have a valuable new resource: "The Midwestern Native Garden, Native Alternatives to Nonnative Flowers and Plants, an illustrated Guide," by Charlotte Adelman and Bernard L. Schwartz (Ohio University Press). In writing the book, the authors considered several of the major challenges faced by gardeners who want to grow natives. First, which plants are not native to a region? Second, what are alternative plants that are just as stunning and similarly capable of thriving in a garden that might otherwise be crowded with nonnative ornamentals.
Naturally predisposed to thrive in their regional landscape, native plants can be grown without pesticides that pollute waterways and air. What's more, they play an important role in an ecosystem, providing food and breeding sites for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife.
What sets this book apart from similar titles lining gardener's bookshelves is the authors' comprehensive selection of colorful plants native to the Midwest that hold their own against popular ornamentals. Each featured plant includes garden notes about the birds and butterflies it may attract.
The benefits of choosing native plants are two-fold: Drifts of wildflowers and grasses bring beauty to the garden, while also providing butterflies and birds with places to forage, rest, and nest. This book could make a great holiday gift for a Midwestern gardener. As skies darken and the landscape grows winter gray, it will provide a punch of color and a promise of spring splendor to come.

Organic Clothes Made in USA
Wild Dill, a fair trade clothing store, was created by Jennifer in 2008 and was inspired by her son Dylan, hence the name Wild Dill. After the original Wild Dill grew up, Jennifer was ready to move on to a new project. In 2014, the store changed hands and is now owned by Tina Bar a mom of 2 little boys. The store name stayed the same but the mission to support ethical children's fashion, green products and made in USA brands hasn't changed.
"I came across Wild Dill eco friendly fashion store and loved the design, products and mission that Jennifer started. Once I found out the store was for sale I realized this was the business I was meant to own. The final sign was when I found out she lived a few towns over from me in the San Francisco Bay Area, after an in-person meeting I purchased the site in October and became the proud new owner of Wilddill.com. Since becoming the new owner I have been building up new inventory to bring new organic, fair trade and heirloom style clothing and toys styles our loyal customers. We hope you enjoy our selection and customer service focused shopping experience."

New York -- Target plans to open at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day to kick of its Black Friday promotional efforts and will follow up with additional deals that become available at 4 a.m.
The company is also rewarding its REDcard holders by allowing them early access to select Black Friday sale items at Target.com.
"We heard from our guests that they look forward to kicking off their holiday shopping with deal-hunting on Thanksgiving night. Opening at 9 p.m. gives Target's Black Friday guests a more convenient way to create an after-dinner shopping event that the entire family can enjoy," said Kathee Tesija, Target's EVP merchandising. "Guests can shop with confidence throughout the entire holiday weekend knowing that Target offers incredible value on items for decorating, entertaining and gift giving."
Target is among a growing group of retailers who in recent years have moved forward Black Friday opening times to the point where it became inevitable stores would open on Thanksgiving Day. Walmart stores begin offering Black Friday deals at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, and like Target, attributed the decision to customer demand.
The other major structural change that has taken place around Black Friday is the early release of deals. Once tightly guarded, the digital era changed everything when several years ago deals began to leak out. Now, retailers take the proactive approach and simply pre-announce their special offers.
In Target's case, some of the offers include a Apex brand 32 inch LCD TV for $147, a Nikon L310 digital camera for $99, a Nook Simple Touch e-reader for $49 and Beats headphones for $179.
Under the guise of "bonus doorbusters," Target has promotional pricing on other key items that kicks in at 4 a.m. and a special gift card incentive. Items offered at 4 a.m. include a Samsung 50-inch 1080p LED HDTV for $699, a Canon A3400 Camera bundle for $89 and Leapfrog Explorer Software for $15.
From 4 a.m. on Nov. 23, until noon, those who spend $50 or more on apparel, accessories or home products will received a $10 Target gift card.
For those shoppers who want an even earlier head start, Target is making 20 promotional items available on it website beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 21, but only to those who hold one of the company's REDcards.

FOREST Green have launched their new home kit, a unique design from the club in collaboration with kit supplier Puma.
The shirt, which will be available for fans to buy from July, signals a bold new look for the club.
As the club celebrates its 125th anniversary this season, the new shirt will also mark that milestone with a commemorative badge.
Forest Green chairman Dale Vince said: "This is a fabulous new look for Forest Green Rovers. Identity is especially important in football – a unique look is something few football clubs have.
This new strip has identity, it's thoroughly unique, an imposing look and it's certainly going to get noticed.
"Working with Puma has been fantastic for us – we've been able to come up with our own design, rather than buy an off-the-shelf look, and then try and make it a little different – this strip is Forest Green Rovers and no one else.
"FGR has a football pedigree spanning three centuries, it's a special year to launch this new identity and acknowledge that tradition with the 125th anniversary badge.
"We'll be launching the away kit in a few weeks which will also draw on our past but with something extra, a modern twist."
New signing David Pipe modelled the shirt for the launch and says he is eager to get started in the kit for the new campaign.
Pipe said: "It's a quality shirt, I really like it – and I'm chomping at the bit for the start of the season now.
The colours really stand out, which is what you want on the pitch, and it's nice to honour the 125th anniversary of the club, which has a massive tradition."
Arsenal, Newcastle and Rangers who will also be in Puma kits this year.

I believe you, and I'm sorry it happened.
Bad things can happen anywhere at any time. A few years ago, a man was shot on Monument Circle. Nevertheless, the Circle is a pretty safe place to be at noon on a workday...and less safe far into the night. I'll allow that West 38th Street is a tougher place than many in Indianapolis, but it is not a ghetto (it is a commercial district).

Ray Tolbert to be inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Famehttp://www.idsnews.com/news/story.aspx?id=83185
Ultimate IU alumna will mark 75th year of watching IU football Saturday
(Subscription requred to read entire article, excerpt below)
When Dorothy Stoelting attended her first Indiana University football game as a freshman, the legendary Alvin Bo McMillin was in his second year as coach of the Hoosiers and IU beat Centre College of Kentucky 14-0.
A decade later she witnessed one of the most glorious seasons in IU history when the 1945 Hoosiers went 9-0-1, won the Big Ten Conference title and ended the season ranked fourth in the nation.
Dorothy doesnt recall which game she caught in Bloomington during the 1967 season but she was there in Pasadena on Jan. 1, 1968, when coach John Ponts Hoosiers took the Hoosiers to their only Rose Bowl appearance, a 14-3 defeat at the hands of O.J. Simpson and the University of Southern California Trojans.
Still, she was taken aback this week when asked how she felt about reaching the milestone of seeing at least one IU home football game each year for 75 years.
Seventy-five? It doesnt seem possible! she exclaimed over the phone from her St. Louis home. Oh my goodness! I hadnt thought of that.
Its apparently true, according to her daughters, Jean Burgess of Bloomington and Judy Sanford of St. Louis. Dorothy always has been proud of attending at least one football game in Bloomington every year since enrolling at IU and to the best of her memory never missed a year except for 1963, when she arrived in Bloomington expecting to see the Hoosiers play and the game was cancelled because of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
I think the neatest thing of all is that shes never wavered from her loyalty or support of IU, Burgess said. Even when I was a little girl growing up, we always went to at least one game and sometimes several. Sometimes we were thrilled if IU didnt lose by 20 points. Thats what we called a victory. But shes never wavered, not even when people would get down on the team. Shes always been there for them.
Dorothy came to IU from Warsaw, Ind., where she was class valedictorian. She went on to a long career as a public school teacher. For many years, Dorothy and her husband, Richard, came down to Bloomington from their northern Indiana home and met up with a regular group of friends for a weekend of fellowship, fun and football rah-rah. We always stayed at McCormicks Creek, Dorothy said. It didnt matter what game we went to. We just got a room whenever we could get a room and there was a game that weekend. Well be there again this year. (And booking rooms for next year before they leave.)
Burgess recalled that part of the attraction to McCormicks Creek for her parents was that IUs team stayed there on the night before games. Theyd get up bright and early to see the team. It was really sweet in the later years: youd see eight little old people trudging down to cheer for the boys as they got on the team bus, she said . . .
. . . At age 93 and approaching 94 on Oct. 8, Dorothy will no doubt be one of the few fans in the stands older than Penn State coach Joe Paterno, who is 84.
Shes still sharp. Shes an amazing person an amazing alumna, said Burgess. Her favorite part of the game is when the Marching Hundred comes out. She always cries. Shell tell you that, too. It always brings tears to her eyes.

Cheap Paper Casting In Your Scrapbooks
There is a cheap way to include paper castings in your scrapbooks without breaking the bank. Toilet paper. Using toilet paper in my scrapbooks? No, I'm not crazy. But try out this fun technique and see how much fun it can be. The first thing that is important to know, is that there is no one particular brand of toilet paper that you have to use. The cheap kinds work just as well as their more expensive counterparts. You will need around 5 to about 8 squares of toilet paper. Stack them on top of each other. Look through your … Continue reading

ANOKA, Minn. (AP) — More than 100 people searched a trailer park in Coon Rapids in subzero temperatures, hoping to find any clues in the disappearance of an Anoka man.
Twenty-two-year-old Kevin Casserly has been missing since Nov. 12. His sister, Alexandra Casserly, says she's not giving up hope that her brother is alive and hiding somewhere.
Daniel Casserly says some tips from the community brought searchers to Coon Rapids over the weekend.
Police say Kevin was last seen in Anoka near Ferry Street and Highway 10 without his shoes. His car was also found nearby with an empty tank of gas. He has two young children and worked at Lakeland Tool and Engineering. None of his belongings were missing from his apartment.

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this course is for you! You'll develop all the skills you need for the test as we review and prepare for everything it includes.
You'll get familiar with the different types of questions that appear on the reading and writing tests. You'll master the many areas of math that you'll be tested on: number operations, negative numbers, exponents, square roots, order of operations, decimals, fractions, percentages, algebra, geometry, systems of measurement, and probability and statistics. To prepare for the two essays, we'll discuss what constitutes high scoring essays. We'll also go through the process of writing each essay in the amount of time allotted.
You'll learn useful test-taking strategies and get plenty of practice questions that are similar to what you'll find on the exam. You'll also have the opportunity to take a full-length practice test in each subject area. Using clear explanations, numerous examples, graphics, animation, and videos, this course will not only prepare you for the Praxis Core, but do so in a way that's fun and interesting. After completing this course, you'll be totally ready to pass the Praxis Core Exam!
Course Revised May 2015
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!

I found this class to very helpful and filled in the blanks that I had trouble in. It was nice to be able to ask questions and receive feedback on a subject area that is normally done by oneself with a book. At the end of each lesson websites for additional help and study content was very helpful. I enjoyed the class and would take another in the future.
I am so happy I stumbled upon this class; it was great especially for working 40hrs/week. Mrs. Buckner was wonderful at explaining and I felt that I learned a lot! Thank you!
I strongly recommend this class! The instructor and the material were very informative to me. I am not ashamed anymore because both the teacher and the class have given me hope again. I now know that I have everything I need to be successful in passing the basic skills test.
I think this course was just what I needed. The professor knowledge was on point and she did an excellent job providing us with information that will take us where we need to go. I have more confidence in passing my next test and I owe it all to her!
This course was a great help to me because there are some areas on the Praxis that I needed to be refreshed on. Now I am better equipped to retake the Praxis.
I just wanted to let you know that I passed the Praxis on Monday and I could never have gotten through the math test if it had not been for you lessons. I got 186 on the Reading (needed 169), which is my strong point and 174 on the math (needed 170). I don't know about the writing test yet, but I feel confident that I did well on that test…The math section was very challenging for me and without this class, I am sure I would not have passed on the first try. Thanks again for all your help and I will be recommending this class and ed2go to friends and co-workers.
This course was very helpful. I learned a great deal in a few short weeks. I would recommend this class be taken by anyone embarking on a future in education. Thank you for all of your help.
I really liked how the course was down to my level. The books I have used are just too vague and hard to understand.
The instructor was fantastic! The lessons were perfectly structured. As someone who is a working professional but hasn't had to deal with a lot of mathematical concepts in every day life, the lessons were clear concise and didn't make me feel badly for not remembering how to solve for "x" or what happens when you add two negative numbers. I really appreciated that.
I have been a stay at home Mom for seven years. I am going back to school for my Master's in Education. I felt that this course helped me brush up on all the areas I needed to achieve a good score on the Praxis. I would definitely recommend this course to others!
